NPE Linux Embedded Controller
TechBase Co. Ltd.
We offer GPRS Linux Embedded Controller called NPE.
Device from the NPE series is the industrial computer, equipped with the efficient processor RISC ARM9 with preinstalled in the Flash memory operating system Linux ver. 2.6. The computer is equipped with the Ethernet 10/100 BaseT port, two RS-232 ports, RS-485 port, 8 binary inputs and SD cards reader. The NPE computer cover is especially adapted to the installation in difficult industrial conditions on the DIN bus, and assures quick and comfortable installation in the target location. The relatively small dimensions and the IP21 standard cover, no moving parts (fans, discs) assure the failure-free operation in the industrial objects as well as in various cabinets. Moreover, the NPE computer may be optionally produced in versions with enhanced operational temperature range (-25 ¸ 70°C).
Currently, the automation, telecommunication and supervision systems require the independent control or devices monitoring with the RS232 and RS-485 interfaces, or equipped with the standard interfaces, like the binary or analogue inputs-outputs. It becomes the real challenge, when it is necessary to use the autonomous solution, which enables the independent work with the devices with serial ports without loading the central computer. In such situations the industrial computer from the NPE series is the perfect solution, which may independently perform most of activities, e.g. change data through the serial ports, perform the data analysis in the real time, buffer the collected information, communicate through IP, visualize the process through the Web site and many other functions, according to the user's needs.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – The Dougherty County School System's investigation into CRCT erasures wasn't good enough to satisfy state leaders.
The Governor's Office of Student Achievement says school leaders did not fully explain why so many wrong answers were changed to right answers last year. It's even more suspicious now that we know scores dropped this year when state monitors oversaw the testing. Now, the state is demanding more information from the school system.
New School Superintendent Dr. Joshua Murfree has a meeting set up with the Erasure Study's experts to see if the school system already has the information the state's looking for or if they'll have to ask more questions to get what the state needs. The state wants more information specifically from schools that had the highest number of erasures.
It's been more than a month since the Dougherty County Schools turned in their 11 page report to the state detailing what they think causes a high number of answers to be changed from wrong to right on student's tests. Now the state wants more.
"The cases where classrooms were flagged at very high levels especially across multiple subjects. We really need a pretty substantial explanation to explain what caused that and that's the type of thing we're looking for," said Kathleen Mathers of the Governor's Office of Student Achievement.
The school system said they couldn't tell who, when or why erasures were made. They've been asked to include who investigators talked to. School officials say the state didn't make it easy to get the information investigators needed.
"I find that surprising considering how general their initial claims were and then limiting the school system or tying our hands as far as what information they'd allow us to see," said DCSS Board Chairman David Maschke.
State officials say they're particularly concerned since Dougherty Scores on tests in those severe schools dropped this year with state monitors watching those classrooms.
"Given that the scores on the 2010 tests have dropped we feel like more explanation is needed than what we've got in their report," said Mathers.
The system is trying to get the state the answers they need, but say they might not need to look any further than their own monitors.
"If they want to know what's happening in the classroom they should look at the studies and the reports back from those people," said DCSS Public Information Officer R. D. Harter.
To realize the school system has the testing procedures in place that meet the state's requirements.
Dr. Murfree will meet with Dr. James Wilson who prepared the systems report Friday. They hope to be able to come up with the answer they need for the state.
The state wants the system's response a week from Friday.
14 Dougherty County elementary and middle schools were listed in the moderate or severe concern categories after the state's 2009 CRCT erasure analysis. The school system is expected to release more on this years CRCT results next week.

Metea Valley rocked Oswego East 73-52 on Tuesday in a nonconference tilt, hitting shots from all over the floor and playing tenacious man-to-man defense. Playing their third straight game without senior Melvin Meeks (ankle), the visiting Mustangs (17-9, 9-3) snapped a two-game skid and improved to 16-9.
"We've been beating ourselves up a little bit because we lost a couple close ones to good teams that we feel we gave away," said senior Sean Davis who scored ten points in the first quarter and finished with team-high 19. "We came out firing on all cylinders and got after it."
The Wolves took the beating this time. Metea Valley collected 11 steals, shot 53 percent and blocked five shots. After trailing 5-0, the Mustangs stampeded back with a 20-10 run to close the opening stanza.
Davis buried a three-pointer on an assist from Connor Archey with 33 seconds left and added an old fashioned three-point play with .2 seconds when Nick Dodson gathered a steal and dished to Davis for a 20-15 lead. Davis helped stretch the margin to 26-15 with a pair of baskets from the post while 6-foot-10 Hayden Barnard (12 points) added a putback.
Oswego East (11-14, 7-4), committed eight turnovers in the second quarter and fell behind 36-25 at the intermission. Six different Mustangs scored in the quarter as they crashed the boards, stepped in passing lanes and distributed the ball.
"It's like a domino, one person starts doing good and everybody takes off after his lead," Davis explained. "Playing defense and you see someone get a steal, you want to get a steal, get in the passing lane and make shots."
That was demonstrated just before the intermission when Derek Coleman (three assists, three steals) intercepted a pass and fed Vin Patel for a layup. Patel scored 12 points while the Mustangs bench chipped in 28 points. C.J. Vaughn notched a game-high 22 points despite being hounded all night.
"We came out with that sense of urgency," said Mustangs coach Bob Vozza. "They brought it tonight.
"[Vaughn] is an outstanding player," Vozza added. "We threw Trayvond [Taylor], Derek and Marquell [Oliver] at him. We didn't want him to get going and get their confidence going."
While Vozza said he could never relax as the Wolves are capable of scoring in bunches, the Mustangs delivered the knock out punch late in the third quarter when they ended the frame with a 10-1 run.

Saturday's full phase brings our moon closer to Earth than anytime within the past 18 years. Our single celestial satellite will appear (to the discernible few) 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than a normal full phase, hence assigning it supermoon status. Saturday's moon rising begins at 7:23 p.m. PDT. Whether we'll be able to view it at all depends on forthcoming changing weather conditions, including rain.
Saturday night's forecast is mostly cloudy overnight with a low around 46° F. Rain is likely Sunday.
The National Weather Service predicts a 30 percent chance of rain during the day on Sunday and 90 percent liklihood that night into Monday morning, with a 70 percent chance of rain the rest of Monday. The sun should return by Tuesday.

Vampire Diaries beauty Nina Dobrev covers next month's Seventeen magazine.
Inside the mag's pages, she opens up about her super hot co-stars on Vampire Diaries. Nina says both Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley, who play Damon and Stephan on the show, are great guys. Paul, she says "takes his job very seriously", but Ian is "the prankster, the jokester."
N-D admits that dating a co-star or any actor for that matter "is very complicated," adding that "there's a lot of vanity involved…and they're kind of crazy." In the end, Nina says she'd actually prefer to "not date an actor."
As far as we know, Nina's currently single…but who do you think she'll hook up with? A co-star? Or someone different? Make Miss Dobrev a match in the comments section!00Post a Comment

Also useful for when Fedora pushes a new kernel and rpmfusion doesn't get an updated kmod for a couple of days. Booting is usually seamless with akmod building the replacement module when it detects it isn't there. When the kmod eventually appears, yum will grab it. By contrast, whatever ATRPMs does with the nVidia modules for RHEL is annoying as hell--I can't boot a new kernel until ATRPMS releases the corresponding module, and modules don't get deleted when their corresponding kernels do--I have to do it by hand.

AFAIK, all it does if the module is already there is detect it.

The annual PRIDE clean up effort got underway Saturday at Cumberland Falls State Park. The organization coordinates volunteer activities to promote environmental education and regional clean up activities.
In recent years, PRIDE has helped to eliminate more than 2800 dump sites in Southern and Eastern Kentucky.

Property owners who own vacant lots or abandoned properties may have to begin tidying up their land.
Lakewood City Council is reviewing a measure that, if passed, would amend the parking lot ordinance to include language that requires vacant commericial and residential properties to be better maintained.
Think fencing, litter control, landscaping and better general maintenance.
According to the proposal, vacant and unimproved properties that are "overgrown, littered upon, substandard, or unkempt" discourage economic development and can negatively affect neighboring property values.
Council president Brian Powers, who introduced the ordinance, said that law would give six months for property owners to clean up the property.
For existing properties considered a "blight" on the neighborhood, the "clock would start ticking" once the measure is passed, said Powers.
"We just feel it's important for our city, whether somebody tears down a residential or commercial building that the land in which it occupies doesn't sit empty for a reasonable period of time," he said.
"If they're not in a position to begin to construction then it's their duty to make sure it's not an eyesore."
The idea is to clean up the "general appearance" of the empty lots, which may include fencing and keeping up with the landscaping would also be regulated.
But the ordinance won't legislate the details.
That will be up to the city's architectural board of review, the board of building standards and the planning commission.
Dru Siley, the city's director of planning and development, said the administration supports the proposal.
The city's volunteer boards will be included in the discussion about the new law.
"I think it's a designed to make sure that all property owners do everything they can to maintain heir lots, so that the vacant lot is neat, clean and well-designed in appearance so that it isn't a blight on the neighborhood," Siley said.
"I think councilman Powers' proposal will establish standards to achieve that."
Among the current properties that would fall under scrutiny are the abandoned Spitzer auto dealership, properties held by banks and Rockport Square — on both sides of Detroit Avenue, where landscaping efforts recently began.
"Everybody points to Rockport, but I don't know that's fair," Powers said. "This is not intended to fit one situation only. I do believe it will get some action at Rockport — that may be coincidence, or it may about this topic."
The ordinance was referred to council's committee of the whole for further review.

COLUMBIA, SC — On Tuesday, voters will decide who leads the city of Columbia in the first city election held in November. Earlier this year, the council voted to cut their terms six months short to have the election Tuesday instead of in April.
In the election, voters will decide on a mayor by choosing between the incumbent, who just completed his first term, and a councilman challenging for the position.
The challenger will keep his district seat on the council seat if he loses the mayor's race.
Voters will choose the majority of City Council seats and three sitting council members face opposition, in addition to the mayor.
Voters also will decide whether to increase their taxes to give more money for Richland County libraries.
A separate election will be held on Dec. 3 to decide whether the city's government should convert to the strong-mayor form, instead of the current council-manager system.
Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.
Where to vote. Check the bottom of your voter registration card or go thestate.com/elections to find a list of polling places.
What to bring. Bring your voter registration card.
The deal with Photo ID. Voters also will need to provide photo identification: a S.C. driver's license, S.C. DMV ID card, S.C. voter registration card with a photo, federal military ID or a U.S. passport and a VA Card.
Voters can get a Photo ID before voting from their county voter registration office by providing their name, date of birth and last four digits of their social security number.
Voters who forget to bring their photo ID may vote a provisional ballot that will count only if they show their Photo ID to the election commission prior to certification of the election.
Voters who can't get a Photo ID need to bring their non-photo voter registration card (old card without photo). They can vote a provisional ballot after signing an affidavit stating they have a reasonable impediment to obtaining a photo ID, said Chris Whitmire, director of Public Information & Training for the South Carolina State Election Commission. The ballot will count unless someone proves to the election commission that the voter was lying on the affidavit.
What not to bring. You will not be allowed into a polling place while carrying a campaign sign or wearing a campaign shirt, hat, button or sticker.
Registering. Eligible voters must have registered by Oct. 5.
Curbside voting. Any voter who, because of physical handicap or age (65 or older), cannot enter the polling place in which he or she is registered, or is unable to stand in line to vote, may drive or be driven to the polls and vote outside the polling place without leaving the vehicle.
Absentee voting. Anyone wanting to vote absentee who has not yet applied for a ballot must apply in person by 5 p.m. Monday. Go to your county election commission to vote.
Mayor, council bids: Columbia voters will decide whether to return Mayor Steve Benjamin to office or replace him with Councilman Moe Baddourah. Three council members in at-large, District 2 and District 4 face opposition in their races.
On the ballot but no longer running: Larry Sypolt dropped his bid for mayor late last month, but his name will still appear on the ballot.
Countywide referendum: The library is asking Richland County voters for permission to borrow $59 million for systemwide improvements. Each facility but Eastover, updated earlier this year, would get meeting space and new libraries would be built in Ballentine and Northeast Richland County. Cost to taxpayers: $12 to $14 a year for the owner of $100,000 home.
Blythewood: Three council seats – one for two years, filling an unexpired term, and the other two for four-year terms.
Arcadia Lakes: The town will get a new mayor, with the incumbent retiring. Two council seats also are on the ballot.
Mayoral races: Up to six Lexington County municipalities could have new mayors after the ballot. At least two are guaranteed with the retirement of incumbents in Batesburg-Leesville and Pelion.
Unopposed: No ballot in three towns – Irmo, Pelion and Summit – where all candidates are unopposed and elected automatically.
Referendums: Chapin, Sunday sale of beer and wine in stores; Lexington, road tax increase in Golden Hills neighborhood; Pine Ridge, tax hike for fire hydrants
Precincts: Some precincts are combined for this election. Signs will be posted at ones not in use, directing voters to ballot site. For a list of county polling places, see thestate.com/elections.

Dream Dictionary Entry.
Psychological Meaning:
If you murder someone in your dream you are expressing your hatred or envy towards the person. Sometimes the person being killed can represent an aspect of your own nature that you hate. For example, if a man dreams of killing a woman it may show how he rejects the feminine side of his nature. Similarly, if a woman dreams of killing a man she may be rejecting her masculine side. To dream of killing animals indicates repression your instinctive nature.
Mystical Meaning:
There will be arguments and you may have to make sacrifices say the dream seers.

Maik Twelsiek cruised to the finish line of the Ironman Wisconsin, happily waving to the crowd in an early victory lap at the victorious end of his 140.6 miles.
More than eight hours later, Dan and Zachary Rotert collapsed across the finish just seconds from midnight and the cut-off point in the grueling challenge, according to the race announcer who bestowed upon them the declaration: "You are an Ironman." Their tears and exhaustion represented the true spirit of Ironman and the strength of the bonds between a father and son.
Hundreds of spectators still gathered late in the night on the Capitol Square in Madison cheered and cried, as the pair fell into the arms of volunteers 17 hours (almost) after their start in Lake Monona.
With eight miles to go, and an Ironman finish quickly ticking out-of-reach, Zachary lay down on the course, seemingly unable to go on. His battle with Type 1 diabetes had sapped the strength he needed to continue through the darkness.
"He laid down on the bike path and I couldn't get him up," said Dan Rotert, 48, of Middleton, and now a five-time Ironman finisher. "He told me he didn't have anything left. I told him he had everything he needed.
"I told him to get up. He didn't want to.
"He told me to go on without him, but I'd never do that. This was all about him."
Family members and the younger Rotert's fraternity brothers from Miami University in Ohio surrounded and encouraged him. He got up, and started a walk-run, walk-run sprint to the finish against the clock.
At the finish, aid workers quickly took the 20-year-old to the medical tent, and an ambulance took him to a local hospital for an evaluation. His blood-sugar levels had been dangerously low for much of the day. (His father reported this afternoon that Zachary will spend another day in the hospital).
In compelling fashion, he reached a goal he had set three years ago, to join his father at the finish line of an Ironman triathlon.
"He's an Ironman and you don't know what that means for a Type one diabetic," Dan Rotert said, before wilting with emotion.
The Roterts raced on Sunday in raise money and support for K9 4 T1, a charity that trains alert dogs for those with diabetics. The dogs detect emergency health problems by smelling the breath of their owners. Click here for more information.

The Titans have hired Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt as their new head coach.
Whisenhunt replaces Mike Munchak, who parted with the team after three seasons and a 22-26 record.
"This is a big day for this franchise," Titans President/CEO Tommy Smith said. "Ken is a well-respected coach in this league and I am looking forward to seeing his vision become reality for this team. He has a history of building successful offenses and took Arizona to a Super Bowl as a head coach. We all share a common goal for this team and that is to build a consistent winner."

I like the table, but am unable to use it as the wood is so dark it doesn't compliment the other furniture in the room. Gave it to my daughter who loves it. It's a great table, just don't expect the color to look like the picture.
I would recommend this product. sturdy, great accent table for my living room
I ordered 2 of these tables for a guest bedroom, I was redecorating, they are of such good quality and look very elegsnt. in the room. They were quite easy to assemble, arrived in good time and in good condition. Thanks Overstock
I had ordered one of these tables from Overstock.com about 2 years ago so was expecting the table to be exactly like the one I purchased 2 years ago, however, the burl pattern on this version of the table is much nicer! WONDERFUL RICH finish on this table -- quality nicer than on some tables I've purchased for 3x the cost!
I am using this table next to a dark cherry king size bed and the table is significant enough to make a statement.
This table is perfect next to our queen size bed.it's just the right height for the bed & it's larger than I thought it was going to be .This table is just beautiful,the color,the style . I would have given it 5 stars if it was not for the fact that the parts did not come together perfectly .Hope the second one won't gave us trouble."we bought tow tables " But for the price & the quality it's worth keeping .
This table is beautiful and ties my room together perfectly.
Ordered this table to use in a living room. Surprised at how good it looks for the price. Quality is comparable to tables I've seen in local furniture store. Easy to assemble.
Easy to put together. Classic style. Looks great in living space. Seems sturdy.
Great looking table . Fits perfectly between two chairs in living room.

She started in a studio -- and in L.A., it may set her back $1,405 a month.
The Barbie we know and love today has come a long way from her more modest (and more brunette) roots.
Sure, it seems Barbie may have had some reconstructive surgery since her introduction in 1959, and yes, she may have spent a few too many hours in the tanning salon, but here at the Movoto Real Estate Blog, we aren't concerned with such things.
We're more concerned with Barbie's house.
Since 1959, the "Barbie Dream House" has undergone some major renovations — even more so than Barbie's face. In fact, the pink mansion that little girls and curious boys know as Barbie's home today started out as something different and something that most of us can relate to: a studio apartment.
The actor has listed his 603-square-foot Hollywood house for $808,000.
Among Hollywood actors, there are no small parts — but there are small houses, and Vincent Kartheiser's house is perhaps one of Hollywood's smallest. The actor, who portrays Pete Campbell on television show "Mad Men," posed in Dwell magazine last year in his cleverly designed tiny house.
Now he has listed his 603-square-foot, one-bedroom, 1.5-bath Hollywood home for sale for $808,000. Perhaps he's searching for a new space that is better for two — the actor is engaged to co-star Alexis Bledel.
The country-music stars' beach retreat is a 'pocket listing,' with one report putting its price at $7.5 million.
Country-music superstars Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks have listed their Malibu, California, getaway for sale. They purchased the four-bed, 3.5-bath ranch home above Paradise Cove in 2008 — right after it had undergone an extensive remodel.
The soon-to-be empty-nesters are moving back to Nashville, Tennessee, from Oklahoma, and recently unloaded another piece of property, Yearwood's Brentwood home outside Nashville.
In the second quarter, 64.7 percent of Americans owned homes.
The homeownership rate in the U.S. fell to a 19-year low as rising prices and tight credit kept many first-time buyers out of the property market.
The share of Americans who own their homes was 64.7 percent in the second quarter, down from 64.8 percent in the previous three months, the Census Bureau said in a report today. The rate matched the level in the second quarter of 1995.
Housing has become less affordable and more difficult to finance for entry-level buyers, even as mortgage rates have held close to record lows. First-time purchasers accounted for 28 percent of all sales of previously owned homes in June, compared with about 40 percent historically, according to the National Association of Realtors.
The pace of home-price gains slipped to 9.3 percent in May after April's 10.8 percent growth, according to the latest S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index.

Seventy percent of Fannie Mae survey respondents say now is a good time to buy a home.
After housing woes shocked the economy in 2008, consumers are slowly becoming more confident about the housing market.
According to Fannie Mae's National Housing Survey from June, 70 percent of respondents say it is a good time to buy a home, while consumers' average 12-month home-price change expectation stands at 2.4 percent.
"Since we began collecting monthly National Housing Survey data in June 2010, we've seen substantial progress in consumer home price expectations and other key attitudinal measures as the housing recovery gained its footing," said Doug Duncan, senior vice president and chief economist at Fannie Mae. "Still, we do not expect to see 'normal' levels of new residential construction, in the region of 1.6 million new housing units per year, before the end of 2016, our original projection. Such a feat would require a pace of growth in housing starts not seen in decades."
Cutting back on amenities can help reduce the monthly cost.
By Jon Lal, U.S. News & World Report
Summer is peak season for relocating because of the nice weather and the fact that people tend to have more free time on their hands. Many people looking to move might not be ready to buy a home, and instead need a place to rent.
If you're already a renter, you know it can be a challenge to find an apartment you can afford that also suits your needs. The price of an apartment can depend on location, amenities, demand and many other factors.
To avoid paying too much upfront, as well as getting stuck in a lease you really can't afford, consider the following before signing on the dotted line.
For some homeowners, now may be the first time they can come out ahead on a previously underwater mortgage.
Yes, home prices have rebounded nicely from the depths of the recession, but in many major markets it could take three or more years to get back to the peak prices of 2007.
That presents the owner who wants to move with some tough choices. But selling now, at a loss, is not necessarily the bad move it looks like at first glance.
The new home-price assessment from Zillow says prices in half the nation's largest markets will not get back to pre-recession prices "for another three-plus years." One reason is that as markets slowly return to normal, prices gains have slowed from the double-digit levels of some recent years.

Posted Wednesday, September 12, 2012 --- 1:05 p.m.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Health officials say they're convinced this will be the worst year for West Nile virus deaths and severe illnesses since the disease hit America's shores in 1999.
Officials on Wednesday said so far 1,405 serious illnesses and 118 deaths have been reported across the country, the bulk of them in Texas.
But it's only September and infections are expected to continue into October, even though the height of the mosquito season is over.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicts the numbers will surpass the 2002 record of nearly 3,000 severe cases and 284 deaths.
The disease is transmitted through mosquito bites.

The eastern Wake County basketball games on Jan. 17 were relatively close, but the outcomes weren't very shocking.
The East Wake girls and Knightdale boys held off two much improved teams to win, like they have a vast majority of the games in the series in recent years.
In girls' action, East Wake entered the game as the No. 5 team in the News & Observer standings, facing the No. 8 team from Knightdale. They maintained those positions despite the Warriors' win over the Knights.
The 48-38 outcome gave East Wake a one-game edge over Knightdale in the Greater Neuse River 4A standings, the Warriors improving to 5-1 while the Knights fell to 5-2.
Knightdale's boys were ranked eighth and East Wake's ninth before the Knights' 77-66 victory. Knightdale (13-3, 6-1 GNRC after the win) moved up to the N&O's No. 6 spot last week and East Wake (10-5, 3-3) stepped down to No. 11.
I expected that game to be decided by single digits, and it might have, had East Wake not experienced foul trouble at the top of its lineup with Quincy Jackson and Nahjuwan Potts. Knightdale also faced some foul issues in the final minutes, but it didn't keep both of the Knights' scoring leaders off the court.
Knightdale girls guard Mikaya Wilson remained the area leader in assists (5.3 per game) and steals (3.8) and moved into the top-8 in scoring with 16.4 points per outing.
Knightdale boys guard Ronshad Allen-Shabazz was second in the area in scoring (23.2 points per game) after the win over East Wake, ahead of Northern Durham's Ricky Council (23.1) and trailing Clayton star Gary Clark (25.8).
East Wake had two boys players on the list of top scorers as of last week – Jackson with 17.5 points per game and Potts with 15.7.
East Wake boys' guards Kyle Lockett (2.9 assists per game) and Josh McLean (1.7 steals) were also in the top-4 in the area in those categories.
Knightdale's boys and East Wake's girls face significant conference games this week.
The Knights travel to Clayton on Tuesday for a rematch with the only Greater Neuse team they lost to in the first half of league play. They'll have to find a way to do something few teams have done this season – limit Clark.
Clayton won the teams' first meeting of the season 79-72 in December. Clark, a Cincinatti recruit, had 34 points in that game.
East Wake's girls are in the same boat as they face a rematch against Southeast Raleigh on Friday. The Bulldogs gave the Warriors their only loss of the first conference cycle by a score of 53-39 in December.
The Warriors will have home court advantage this time around. That may help the girls come out focused, unlike their start in the loss at Southeast.
The Bulldogs virtually had the first meeting won by halftime after holding the Warriors to a 5-point first quarter.
There's more on the line than just the chance to stun the top team in the league for the second-place East Wake's girls.
Southeast has won the last eight games of the series. East Wake's last win over the Bulldogs was Jan. 4, 2011, by a score of 50-42.

Reporting Services allows you to write functions in C# or Visual Basic, then reference these as custom assemblies. This blog shows how - and why - you might do this.
Sooner or later (probably sooner) you'll get sick of copying DLL files from your class library to your report server projects, and you'll start wondering why Visual Studio can't copy the files for you automatically. The answer is that it can, if you set up post-build events.
A post-build event is one which is triggered automatically whenever you build a project.
If you're coding custom assemblies in C#, first display the properties of your project:
Right-click on the Properties category of the project in Solution Explorer, and choose to open it.
Now choose to create a post-build event:
These steps are shown below:
The numbered steps to follow to start creating post-build events.
Now build up the commands that you want to run:
Here are the numbered steps:
The steps to follow to create post-build events.
When you've finished, select OK to review your post-build event command line:
These commands are given in full below.
The commands above are:
|What it will do
|copy /y "$(TargetPath)" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies"
|Copy the DLL built for the project to the Visual Studio report preview folder on the author's computer.
|copy /y "$(TargetPath)" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.SQL2008R2\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin"
|Copy the DLL built for the project to the deployment folder on the author's computer.
The /y switch means that SSRS will overwrite any files on the target folder.
The procedure for Visual Basic is nearly the same. First display the project's properties:
First right click on the VB class library project, and choose to display its properties.
Choose the Compile tab:
Click on this tab to go to post-build events.
You can now go to the project's post-build events:
Click on the button shown at the bottom right of the dialog box.
From this point, you can continue as for C# post-build events.
There is one thing which catches me out every time!
If you're previewing a report using a custom assembly, you won't be able to build the project (if it's using post-build events to copy the DLL over, that is) until you return to design view for the report.
Reporting Services allows you to write functions in C# or Visual Basic, then reference these as custom assemblies. This blog shows how - and why - you might do this.

CAN you handle events like printing? If you add a comment giving a summary of what you mean, or a link to a relevant website, I'll certainly consider this. There's always more to learn about SSRS!
Off the top of my head, I'd say it wasn't possible without adding some JavaScript to your report somehow. However, what you could do is create an action for each area, such that when you clicked on the area it transferred to another report, passing in the area id as a parameter. Your client could then print out this second report. Admittedly that's two mouse clicks, not one.
If anyone can improve on this, please add your penn'orth!
You could create a true/false (Boolean) report variable whose expression would be set to the value of a custom assembly function (which could look at the Oracle database). The value of this variable would be calculated once only, when the report first loads. You could then set the visibility of all relevant parts of the report to be the value of this variable.
Not for the faint-hearted - you'll need to learn about custom assemblies and report variables - but it should work OK!
Hi Martin
Great question - rubbish answer coming up! When I'm training on SQL or SSRS, I always emphasise that there is one area I can't help with: security. I too tear my hair out with problems like this. The only thing I can suggest is copying your question to StackExchange or a similar site. Unless any other readers can help?
Hello Andy,
First and foremost, a great big THANK YOU to you and your team for your blogs and youtube videos...they are truly appreciated!! i've learned a great deal from them and your teaching methods are straightforward and thorough and easy to understand. i am actually considering coming to UK to take one of your courses in person!
I have a report uses a de-normalized table for the data. i created the table using data from 6 different business sections within our company, and because of this not all sections have data in all fields. for example, fields 'category' and 'type' have data for Membership, but for Certification there is data in 'category' only. my objective is to write custom code that allows for 'optional' columns on the report if data exists in the 'category' and 'type' fields. is this possible? i know i'll need custom code to accomplish this, but first i need to know if it's even possible.
By the way, i'm only 9 months into my SQL/SSRS career, and i am primarily self-taught (with your help, of course!!) - the fact that i'm even thinking of tackling something complex like this is a tribute to your teaching...the possibilities are endless!! :)

give it a try!
This was a lovely, stylish little hotel. It smelled GREAT! The toiletries were very nice. The room was comfortable AND they had duvets instead of those nasty bedspreads most low and mid priced hotels have. The only drawback is a nearby neighborhood. It is very close to everything but on the edge of the Tenderloin district so it is near a gritty area.

Developing a Playbook Strategy for Efficient CollaborationAs discussed at CIDM Best Practices Conference 2013, Comtech is building a Playbook repository for CIDM members to collaborate on plays. Our vision is for CIDM members to access the repository to search for plays to download, offer suggestions to improve plays, and adapt plays to a specific organization. The Playbook site currently already has eight plays draftedto view them, please visit http://knight.comtech-serv.com:8081/playbooks/. We see the playbook repository as a faster way of creating a common set of plays for collaborating that many members can use.

With an appetite-inducing color scheme of yellow and gold, and carved teak screens dividing the dining room, Thai 65 feels a little like Bellevue-poshness imported to Renton.
Even at the odd dining hour of 3 p.m. on a sunny Saturday afternoon, this fashionable Thai restaurant at The Landing was bustling. The artfully decorated dining room hosted a comfortable hum of large parties (coming or going from neighboring Regal Cinemas), groups of young men in business attire, young hipsters waiting for to-go orders, adventuresome single diners and fashionable pairs. The place was nearly packed, except for the inviting bar area (which one can only assume comes alive at night after taking a quick peek at the cocktail list.)
Delving into the dinner menu, which is what is served all day on weekends, I spied a couple of authentic hard-to-find Thai dishes on the menu with excitement. Tod Mun and Miang Kam. Unfortunately, we were informed that neither dish is available. "Too many things on the menu," was the staff's self-volunteered explanation.
Moving hungrily forward, we decided to test both the classic and adventurous routes left to us. People often say the test of any Thai restaurant is the Phad Thai, spelled in many variations. No matter how you call it, this quintessential 'street stand' stir-fried noodle dish tends to be a crowd-pleaser, and was actually the result of a historical confluence of ingredients brought by the Vietnamese and Chinese to the capital city of Ayuthaya. The Thai added their own touch of tamarind paste, fish sauce and palm sugar which resulted in that perfect confluence of the Thai flavor motto: salty, sweet, sour, spicy. And I can say I experienced it all at Thai 65.
A neighboring table ordered the Thai 65 Sample Plate ($12.95), and since my more authentic appetizer choices weren't available we found ourselves wooed by the showy display of Thai's house-named appetizer. This tepee of tempura batter is an impressive spectacle, along with the ceramic dish quadrant of sauces and pickled vegetables that accompany it. Along with a bevy of condiments, the sampler includes two chicken satay sticks, mini vegetable spring rolls, crab delight (seafood and cream cheese deep-fried wontons), and copious tempura battered vegetables.
Thai 65's Phad Thai ($8.95 dinner) is simple and satisfying, a tangle of tangy rice noodles topped with chopped peanuts, bean sprouts, stir-fried egg, and scallions. While public forums berate inconsistency on how this kitchen bestows spices, I report that on this visit even a 3 star Phad Thai sated my yearning for a chile kick, and I like it hot. I need to go back for some investigative reporting to make my final conclusion on the heat of the kitchen—Saturday's chefs kicked the heat up! Since we chose tofu as our protein, I do wish it had been incorporated into the dish as a stir-fried meat would have been, rather than just being presented with pre-fried blocks on the periphery of the dish.
And now we move into an intriguing dish that I've never seen before...Avocado Curry (with chicken, $11.95 dinner). Apparently avocados were brought to Southeast Asian by missionaries, by way of South America, landing in the Nan province of Northern Thailand. (Isn't food fascinating?). This green coconut curry is complimented with buttery chunks of sliced avocado, red and green bell peppers, and whole sweet basil leaves. Ordered skeptically at four stars, I was thankful for the cooling compliment of coconut milk and avocado, but glad to be trusted with true spiciness.
This is a formidably-sized menu that deserves further exploration and I welcome thoughts on your favorites. Other menu items I will be back to try that I have confirmed are available: Ba Mee Hang (stir-fried egg noodles with bokchoy, $8.95 dinner); Ka Nom Gene (rice noodles in spicy green curry, $8.95); Scallop Prik Pao (stir-fried scallops with vegetables and chile sauce, $11.95 dinner); Mussamun Pork Ribs (ribs sauced in a sweet-spiced coconut curry, with potatoes, peanut and onions $12.95).

[Editor's note: Arrest information is supplied by the Fairfield Police Department. It does not indicate convictions.]
A Bridgeport man was charged with third-degree larceny Monday and is suspected of being part of a large shoplifting ring, police said.
Horace Kennebrew, 46, of Victory Avenue, was arrested following an investigation into a reported string of shopliftings from Home Depot on Kings Highway Cutoff.
Loss prevention employees at Home Depot reported multiple thefts resulting in the loss of between $900 and $2,000 worth of merchandise at a time during October and November, police said. There were at least four instances during which suspects would leave the store without paying for shopping carts full of tool combo kits, according to the report.
Police believe these thefts may be connected to similar larcenies from Home Depots in Norwalk, Derby, and Orange and could be part of a Bridgeport-based fence operation -- meaning suspects steal items for later resale.
Kennebrew was identified as a suspect through interviews with police. On Dec. 7, officers executed a search and seizure warrant at a storage unit in Bridgeport with ties to Kennebrew and found $5,000 worth of stolen chainsaws, routers, drill kits, and other merchandise, according to the report.
Police applied for a warrant and served it on Monday. A bond and court date were not included in the report.

The youth of Iran
It may not seem unusual. Just a regular Metallica fan, right?
The fact that this fan is in Iran is what interested me. This image is part of Nima AliBeiglou's series on the youth of Iran, a newsworthy subject given the interest in the country and their war of words with the West.

A limestone sculpture has arrived at a Huntington Station plaza, part of the continuing revitalization effort for the neighborhood.
"Generations," a four-piece sculpture depicting a guitar player, grandmother and child, guitar case, and drum, is situated on the plaza at Olive Street and New York Avenue.
The Huntington Station Plaza took another significant step toward completion recently with the installation of "Generations," a four-piece limestone sculpture that will serve as a centerpiece for the Huntington Station revitalization project that is in its final stages.
Denver sculptor Madeline Wiener created the piece, one of her series of "bench people" meant to allow people to sit on as well as view.
"Generations is a work of art that people can come to the plaza to enjoy and that they can use to enjoy the plaza," said Huntington Supervisor Frank P. Petrone, who met with Wiener during the installation. "This sculpture both furthers the goals of the is the Town's Public Art Initiative and exemplifies the revitalization "smart growth" principle of developing a public infrastructure of beautiful places that become walkable destinations within a community.
An official ceremony welcoming the sculpture will be part of the formal plaza dedication that will be held after the installation of landscaping and completion of other final details of the Plaza's construction.
The installation of Generations was the final step in a process that began in 2011 with issuance by the Town's Public Art Initiative of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking submissions from interested artists. Following review of the 54 submissions, an Artist Selection Panel unanimously recommended Wiener based on her extensive experience, the quality of her past work, and the appropriateness of her "bench people" concept for this project location. The town said the sculpture was placed on the plaza with the help of a crane and riggers from Huntington-based C. R. Hamilton.
It also said that though the artist lives in Denver, she had grown up in Brooklyn and often visited Long Island, including relatives in Huntington.
In addition, a series of interviews with a wide variety of different Huntington Station residents and community leaders helped the artist develop her concept for "Generations," which "draws upon the importance of music in our community as well as a strong cross-cultural and multi-generational emphasis on families," the town said.
The artwork arrived in Huntington on Friday, having left Denver on a flatbed truck on April 1. Design and creation of the work was supported by grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and from Round 6 of the Suffolk County Downtown Revitalization Program, as well as funds from the Town Public Art Initiative.
Photos of each step in the creation of "Generations" can be seen on the project blog at http://huntingtonstationgenerations.wordpress.com/. For additional information about the Wiener and other works that she has created, visit www.madelinewiener.com.

excellent location, very good value for money, good design, decent room size - Anonymous
very friendly and helpful staff - Andreas
The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and accomodating. The room was comfortable, spacious, and spotlessly clean. The hotel is also located in an area easily accessible to many shops, restaurants, sites of interest, and easy access to a few different Metro stations. - Anonymous
Outstanding staff, friendliness, cleanliness and the location is amazing. Very good deals available on this website for the hotel. The 'normal room rate' would greatly change my review, but when there are rooms available for around 40 euros a night, the value, location and quality is second to none. Best accomodation of the 20 or so over my trip and great luck that the best was saved till last! - Thomas
The location is great, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was very clean and had everything we needed. All in all, the hotel was everything we needed it to be. - Anonymous
Staff were amazing,nothing to much trouble for them,really helpful.Superb rooms.got a free upgrade also.amazing experience with this hotel - Richard
The champagne bar in the hotel was lovely. Very close to Metro station (about 2 mins walk). Great location. - Anonymous

Welcome to a safe environment for receiving support from other survivors of ... more

So I dreamt I was up against a wall, with an unknown male kissing me, demanding more and more to let him love me. I was crying in the dream, trying to get away, but I was stuck. So then he lifted my skirt and tried to penetrate me but I was wearing a tampon.
So the question is... if that were to happen in real life, would that be considered rape? I suppose it would... because although total penetration was impossible, partial penetration did happen.
And I cried and screamed in the dream but the worst part of it was that I stopped fighting because it felt so good. How can something that is tearing my entire being apart feel so good? I know we can't help the way our bodies respond to certain touches. But this was so profound. I manage to keep it together when my GYN does my yearly exam... but in a dream when I'm being raped, I whimper at the relief of touch?
I was on a plane home to Kansas two weeks ago. It was a little regional jet and there wasn't much space to move around. I was exhausted and spent most of the time on the flight with my eyes closed, noticing when the (male) flight attendant brushed past me, doing his duties. He'd apparently been working his tail off because although he didn't smell bad, I could smell him. As he went by me innumerable times, he left this curiously musky, imminently male essence in his wake.
I found I was repulsed by what only could be a male scent. Left by a human male. He obviously didn't purposely do it, it's just that when you're busy and moving all day, you do leave a certain essence behind. I actually had to cover my nose because I was so disturbed by it. I was revolted, repulsed, panicked. And then, the same day, when I randomly came across a heterosexual love scene, I found I was also repulsed by it. I have not tried out my reaction to homosexual love scenes... I'm actually not inclined to try. Maybe I am more damaged than I originally thought.
Rape fantasies and dreams are not unusual for anyone, including those who have been abused and/or raped. Nor is it unusual to respond. (This used to be VERY disturbing to me as well until I found out it's not unusual at all.)
Perhaps others here will have some thoughts to share as well.
~Christopher Robin to Pooh
would it be rape? yes
You: How can something that is tearing my entire being apart feel so good?
think about SIV, same principle. our heads get mixed signals, when pain is mixed in with fear and arousal and sexual pleasure.
I wrote about it a while ago, might have posted on the SI board.
It was 1981, I was 15 years old and a sophmore in highschool. Cross country season was in full swing. I was where I always was during school. Hidden under a baggy T-shirt and sweat shirt. Trying to be invisable and get through the day unnoticed and unharrassed by my classmates. I was an island unto my self. No one knew me or liked me. I was not a nice person and people didn't mess with me. I was a tormented soul, lost and adrift in life with out even a life perserver to hold my head above water.
I was in art class, pencil poised over the stark white paper preparing to unleash the creative beast with me when he came into the class room.
I have forgotten his name. He was a teacher who dabbled in photography and worked with the yearbook staff.
He spoke to the art teacher and then came my way.
I didn't look up.
He stopped next to me leaned in resting his weight on the edge of the table with his palm. He said softly, "this one is just too revealing to go into the yearbook"
He slid a sealed envelope under the corner of my sketch pad and left.
My inner core chilled and the cold beads of adrenaline trickled with a sickly ooze within me.
I shot murderous glances at those around me and tucked the envelope into my lap.
I knew he had recently shot a cross country meet at the local park. I knew our uniforms were, as the team called them, "invisable white" All I could think was great! a semi nudy picture of myself, grrrrr. Just what all teenage freaks what given to them.
I open it expecting the worse.
What I found shocked me. I found a picture that has become the single best portrait of me ever snapped. It indeed was revealing. It revealed me all the way down to the depth of my soul.
There flying above the grass was a beautiful young woman, poised confident, strong, healthy and free. None of what I felt at that time (at any time?).
I recall the second that shot was taken. I was on the stretch of the course that ran parallel to the Rouge River. I didn't wear my glasses while running, fuzzing the world to an unfocused state. I was relaxed and in my own world, I ran with my eyes down watching the ground three feet infront of me, I never looked up. I wan't thinking about the race. I ran simply to ...run.
It was a time that I could be alone with my thoughts. Where I could be transported to a blurry quiet place that filled me with peace. Where my only focus on the planet was to put one foot infront of the other.
My serenity was interupted by my intruder alarm going off and I glanced up just as he snapped the shot.
He caught in a single frame of film the illusive "Paja". Only slightly more difficult to capture then bigfoot. Most photos of me I'm guarded and walled off. Not this one. That is me...all of me, unposed, unguarded and exsposed.
A rare glimps of an unveiled me.
********************** trigger ******************** trigger below *******************************************************************
The madness was so tangable around me that no one of the male species every messed with me, ever gave me a second look or talked to me. My sickness ooozed from me and boys didn't talk to me. (neither did the girls either for that matter, hehe) I was able to make it clear that I wanted nothing to do with mankind.
looking back now with adult eyes its painful. how could everyone not see me.
The picture that teacher did use for the year book is from the same photo shoot taken on the next lap, and you wouldn't think its of the same person. I am gone in the other photo, just Duty, Brubaker and ____ are there. My eyes are down and I am ignoring him. I am great full he choose not to publish this photo. I would have freaked.
No I can look at it and go wow, what a wasted life, wow what waste that only my blood kin found me attractive enough to (delete).
When I was in therapy there was a pivotal moment that really rocked the parts of me and changed the direction and focus of our work.
I told RA "I injure to make myself ugly, I will keep injuring until I am so ugly no one will want to (delete) me!"
He waited till the fire left my eyes and he cautiously said "then some part of you must think you are attractive."
He turned over that rock in my head and illustrated a battle that has been raging all my life. To be fully comfortable with self, I must love her and see her for who she is/was.
If I own the beauty then the abuse is my fault. If the Beauty belongs/ed to Maryqueen then I can keep living without that pressure.
(ha, just glanced up and saw I capitalized "beauty"....that is still even to this day a "alter" vs a part of me.)
I can be pretty for my husband. Its challenging to help my daughters grown and have a healthy respect for there images when I literally had no image for years on end.
I choose to add that as my avatar to keep me honest, and real. THAT is who I want DD to be. When I reach into DD and write that is who is writing. Plus it keeps me accountable and might keep the boys from posting as she is "staring at them" LOL.
I have gained a good 80 or so pounds with the meds and bad eating habits. Throw in a bad ankle (the one I shattered several years ago and now have two pins, a plate, and wire mesh in) and I can't exercise or even walk like I used to, and it's a recipe for me looking bloated, fat, and ugly. I saw pictures of myself this Christmas and I was HORRIFIED. I look TERRIBLE. I need to lose this weight.
My goal is to lose about 50 lbs this year. It equals one pound a week, and I think that's reasonable. I just have to do it.
I would like to do it one day when I am able to... I find myself bingeing on chocolate and I do it when I am most stressed... I'm talking several pounds of chocolate at a time! It's good chocolate, but still ... that's pretty excessive. I think my muscle spasms are so bad that I haven't gained too much weight - takes a lot of calories to keep such big muscle groups so tight - but it is still a hateful way to live.
I also read a book called Women, Food, and God... how your approach to eating (regardless of your size - regardless of whether there is any outward evidence of your struggle with food) is a microcosm of how you view yourself, your life, and ultimately your view of God or the universe. I thought that was supremely interesting and very revealing. I eat while distracted (reading) or I eat in a hurry and leave, because I am terrified of being still.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — On Wall Street, timing is everything.
How long does it take to buy a mortgage, package it and sell it to an investor before it goes belly up? How many years until the practice crashes the economy? How long until those who are responsible are brought to justice?
We know the answers to the first two questions. The third? The jury is still out.
Eric Schneiderman, the attorney general of New York, on Tuesday filed suit against J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. /quotes/zigman/272085/delayed/quotes/nls/jpm JPM -2.06% over widespread "fraudulent and deceptive acts" tied to mortgage products that its predecessor, Bear Stearns, packaged, allegedly knowing that they would fail once purchased by investors. Read full story on J.P. Morgan lawsuit by Schneiderman .
• Lowest unemployment: Austin, Oklahoma City
• Texas cities are growing fastest
• Chicago top gainer of downtown residents
• 5 great travel deals in 'next door' cities
• The richest and poorest U.S. cities by income
The case strikes at the main conceit of the financial crisis. Wall Street has long claimed innocence when accused of ignoring credit risks in problem mortgages — even though it possessed the most sophisticated risk-measuring systems in the world.
There will be another claim about the timing: Schneiderman's case will be criticized as political opportunism since the election is just four weeks away, and the president has been charged with Wall Street favoritism. Read related column on Obama's record on Wall Street: Don't let Obama claim this victory.
Or it could be just coincidence.
Bank bonuses should be paid as debt Says EU report
Banks should separate their retail and investments arms and bank bonuses should linked to the debt position of banks to reduce risky behavior.
Politics aside, the case against Wall Street is long overdue. The systemic packaging of troubled mortgages sold to investors along with government-sponsored entities Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were the root of the massive bank losses five years ago that thrust the nation into the Great Recession.
At first, cases weren't filed simply because the banks didn't have the cash or the health to fight them. But, as they recovered, the lawsuits and settlements came: a $550 million settlement with Goldman Sachs /quotes/zigman/188479/delayed/quotes/nls/gs GS -1.52% in 2010 over a mortgage deal called Abacus, an $8.5 billion settlement with Bank of America Corp. /quotes/zigman/190927/delayed/quotes/nls/bac BAC -1.77% tied to bad mortgages issued by Countrywide Financial, and a $26 billion foreclosure fraud settlement with major mortgage servicers in February.
It's all apparently been building up to this: the first in a wave of lawsuits aimed directly at fraudulent practices. The only question left is whether individuals will be held accountable. Maybe before the next election?
