Buick will play up mid-sized LaCrosse
DETROIT -- The future sweet spot for Buick's car line will be the mid-sized segment, the top executive for General Motors' Buick-Pontiac-GMC sales channel says.
The full-sized-car segment "has declined 35 percent this calendar year. Bringing more entries into a declining segment wouldn't necessarily be smart," said Susan Docherty, vice president of Buick-Pontiac-GMC.
Sales of the full-sized Lucerne totaled 50,799 in first 11 months of this year, a 34.1 percent drop from the year-ago period.
Buick's spotlight on the car side will be aimed at the redesigned, mid-sized 2010 LaCrosse, which debuts next … Read more

Strengthening the Bonds of Chicano Youth & Families
Strengthening the Bonds of Chicano Youth and Families (El Proyecto de Nuestra Juventud) is a community-based, culturally appropriate intervention model for rural, Hispanic youth conducted in an agricultural area of Central Arizona. The project was conceived and implemented by the Pinal Hispanic Council, a minority, non-profit organization based in the city of Eloy. Strengthening the Bonds of Chicano Youth and Families is a comprehensive, multi-level community-based and culturally appropriate program designed to meet the prevention needs of rural Chicano youth demonstrating high-risk characteristics of substance abuse. The program is rooted in a family-oriented approach that is based on Mexican American culture, values, and principles. The interventions are based on the theoretical framework of Hawkins and Catalano that promotes reduction of risk factors and strengthening of protective factors and resiliency. Interventions address four life domains: Barrio Life (community domain), School domain, Familia (Family) domain, and Individual/Peer domain. The project utilizes a combination of culturally appropriate interventions with youth and families. Family interventions include camps (campamentos) and platicas (informal talks). Youth interventions include peer support groups and workshops. Community interventions include a homework center, a mural project, and a theater (teatro) project. Both youth and adults completed the Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans. The project recruited youth from the target areas of the City of Eloy and the neighboring community of Picacho, both rural agricultural areas. Youth were recruited with certain risk factors including siblings of substance users, children of substance users, juvenile delinquents, children at risk of becoming teen parents, children at risk of dropping out of school, and children residing in public housing. The intervention is suitable for a community-based setting. None specified. Each youth was involved an average of 1.6 years. Results included: For indepth information on this program, please use the contact listed below.

The West Virginia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union recently sent a letter to several county school superintendents - including Wood's - demanding they end gender-based classes currently being offered at schools in their counties. According to the ACLU, gender-based classes are a violation of federal law and are based on faulty science and outdated stereotypes concerning how boys and girls learn.
While there was no mention of court action, obviously the threat of a lawsuit always looms when the ACLU is involved.
In Wood County, VanDevender is the only school offering gender-based classes. Wood County Schools Superintendent Pat Law on Tuesday told Wood County Board of Education members he does not believe the school system is violating federal laws but will seek legal counsel to look into the matter before responding to the ACLU letter.
Law said Vandy's program follows guidelines issued in 2006 by the U.S. Department of Education for same-sex classes. The local program is based on the work of Leonard Sax, a national advocate and expert on same-sex and gender-based classrooms. Sax was brought in to help train Vandy's teachers at the beginning of the program.
In 2010, VanDevender was given approval for same-sex classes in the core subjects - math, science, social studies and reading language arts, with an evaluation at the end of two years, as is required by law. Vandy officials will present a final report on the success of these past two years, but according to Law, preliminary reports show the school has seen improvements in test scores, better attendance numbers and fewer disciplinary problems.
If it is shown the school system has followed the federal guidelines and if numbers show these gender-based classes are actually working for students at the school, school officials should ignore the ACLU's threat.
Getting students interested in learning will keep kids in school and, hopefully, end the atrocious drop-out rate here in West Virginia.
That should be everyone's goal - including the ACLU's.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates.

Creating Opportunities for a Better Life.®
When you select a table in Word 2010, Design and Layout tabs appear under Table Tools on the ribbon. Using commands on the Layout tab, you can make a variety of modifications to the table.
Click the buttons in the interactive below to learn about the different ways you can modify a table with the Layout tab.
Making the text vertical can add style to your table, and it also saves space, allowing you to fit more columns in your table.
By changing the alignment of a cell, you can control exactly where the text is located. In the example below, the cell text is aligned to the bottom right.
To keep your table looking neat and organized, you may want to distribuite the rows or columns equally, which makes them all the same size. You can distribute the rows or columns for the entire table, or just a portion of it.
You can type in a desired row height or column width for your cells. If you prefer, you can click AutoFit, and it will automatically adjust the column widths based on the text inside them.
Some tables require a layout that doesn't conform to the standard grid. In those cases, you may need to merge or split cells.
You can insert or delete rows and columns in your table. This can be especially useful if you need to add something to the middle of your table.

Hi, SQL Server maintain procedure cache to store query execution plan and next time when same query execute then it check in procedure cache and if it available then it will not recompile the query and use existing query plan. I have confusion that which algorithms use to match new SQL statement with existing? Does it should be fully qualified? e.g. databasename.schemaname.tablename Which SQL statement will be use existing query plan or both will be use exist query plan? My sequence of statement is as given below:- (1) Run first statement: query plan generated and stored in procedure cache.
(2) Secound SQL statement-
(3) Third SQL statement-
Which SQL query will use existing execution plan? Please give some more information to get perfect benefits of SQL Server Procedure cache?
(comments are locked)
Query 2 is likely to reuse the plan from Query 1. Query 3 is a different query because of the text, even though it's hitting the same table. It's probably that it will compile to it's own plan. That's one of the reasons why I recommend always including the Schema when referring to tables. I don't recommend using the database name unless you're doing cross database queries. The best things you can to to get good use out of the procedure cache is to parameterize your queries. This means either using parameters to build and execute the queries from the code, or using stored procedures. Second, on SQL Server 2008, always enable Optimize for Ad Hoc Queries. This will make use of plan stubs which are saved instead of plans the first time a query is called. If it's called again and the plan is reused, then it's saved. That reduces memory use pretty radically in the plan cache.What will happen in below case - Q-1. SELECT * FROM SALES.CUSTOMER Q.2 SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER Q.3 SELECT * FROM SALES.CUSTOMER Does Q.2 and Q.3 both will use procedure cache or not?
Oct 03 '11 at 05:03 AM
1 & 3 will use the same plan. 2 will have a different plan. All three "use" procedure cache. See the comment below for a quick way to test this for yourself.

I am not sure the first and the second query will reuse the plan either because the tables are not fully qualified, but I don't want to argue with grant who have written books about it. :) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181055.aspx The algorithms to match new SQL statements to existing, unused execution plans in the cache require that all object references be fully qualified. For example, the first of these SELECT statements is not matched with an existing plan, and the second is matched:
You run into other issues there too, assuming your tables are owned by DBO or by your default schema you can run the first query, but if they're not, you can only run the second query. But it will reuse the plan without the schema. Here: CREATE TABLE dbo.A (id INT IDENTITY, Val varchar(50)) SELECT * FROM A SELECT * FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS deqs CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(deqs.sql_handle) AS dest WHERE dest.text = 'SELECT * FROM A' If you run the SELECT statement multiple times, you can see the count on the plan go up. Then, if you run it as SELECT * FROM dbo.A and modify the other query: SELECT * FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS deqs CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(deqs.sql_handle) AS dest WHERE dest.text = 'SELECT * FROM A' OR dest.text = 'SELECT * FROM dbo.A' You get two rows.

Should we use fully qualified name while execute the stored procedure ? e.g. - schemaname.spname Does it will make any seance ?
Oct 03 '11 at 05:20 AM
I use fully qualified names for all objects.
Oct 03 '11 at 05:24 AM
Håkan Winther
I understand benefits of using fully qualified names of tables but is there any benefits associate with stored procedure,function and triggers of using fully qualified name in performance point of view?

Frontier Natural Products Certified Organic Tea White Peony -- 16 oz
Too Many Sticks
The taste of this tea is very good; however, there are more sticks than tea leaves. For the lb price, (which ends up being a half lb when you take out the sticks) I will buy it again but I will try their other more expensive Indian White Tea next time to see if it has less sticks. The company (Frontier) has excellent customer services and overall, I love their products.

The Broken Arrow High School football games have got just about everyone in the Woodstock neighborhood talking but it's not about the team.
"You can hear it in our house it's like a subwoofer," said Rebecca Helscel. "Like a car sitting in my driveway with a subwoofer on."
She lives right behind the football stadium. Helscel told FOX23 the sound had not been much of an issue until the new scoreboard was put in this year.
"The old scoreboard was pointed in the other direction so I never had a problem with it," she said.
Now it's pointed in her direction and annoying the neighborhood. The mother of two says it's so bad one neighbor created a Facebook fan page titled, Neighbors of Broken Arrow Scoreboard. People on the page are sharing their experiences with the scoreboard.
Others are going straight to BAPS Superintendent Dr. Jarod Mendenhall. Angel Warren shared with us a letter she wrote to Dr. Mendenhall that night.
"I'm sitting in my house as I type this with the volume of the PA blasting us in the living area," Warren read.
She says she just wants one thing.
"I really hope they take our complaining serious."
FOX23 reached out to BAPS. We haven't heard back. However, it does appear the district is taking those complaints serious.
Warren showed FOX23 Mendenhall's response. He apologized about the inconvenience and added he will get with other members of the school board to find a solution. But people like Warren, say it's still too loud.
"I'm not asking them to call off the games, I'm not asking them to tear down the jumbotron, I'm just asking them to reach over and turn down the volume knob," she said.
FOX23 received an email from BAPS Tuesday night saying they are taking the complaints serious.
BAPS adds: "In addition to creating what are essentially governors on the sound board – sound settings that cannot be overridden – we are also working with the company that installed the board to turn the speakers inward and direct more sound toward the stadium seats. This is a new construction project, with all new equipment, so it is taking some time to adjust everything and train staff members accordingly. We have made adjustments every game, and still have some adjustments to make. While football games and band performances are loud events in and of themselves, we understand the patrons' complaints, and our desire is to be a good neighbor by finding an acceptable resolution to the issue."

Nor'easter to dump up to 17 inches of snow on southern New England
A nor'easter swirling up the Atlantic coast could bring as much as 17 inches of snow to parts of southern New England beginning late Tuesday night -- and it will likely turn the Wednesday morning commute into a mess, the National Weather Service said today.
"The weather will not be conducive to a morning commute," said weather service meteorologist Alan Dunham. "Visibility will be terrible, snow blowing and drifting. It will be an absolutely ugly commute Wednesday morning."
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm watch, predicting 10 to 17 inches of snow and warning that the storm would wallop most of Massachusetts, sparing only the outer Cape and islands.
Snow is expected to fall at a rate of 1 to 2 inches an hour, with winds reaching 15 to 25 miles per hour in northern Massachusetts.
"Expect a big hit for this storm" for about 18 to 24 hours, the discussion said.
A map showing projected snowfall amounts issued by the weather service showed 16 inches falling in some areaas of Southeastern Massachusetts. More than a foot was predicted in most of the state, except for areas on the outer Cape, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket. The map predicted 17 inches in some areas of Rhode Island and Connecticut.
Dunham said highs today will be in the low 30s and lows in the upper teens. Skies today will be mostly sunny, with clear skies expected for tonight.
On Tuesday, skies are expected to be mostly sunny, with highs in the low 30s. Clouds are expected to move in by the late afternoon, Dunham said.

Highland Hospital has been approved to add 10 additional beds to its detoxification and substance abuse recovery program, Highland Health Center.
The program is a treatment unit that provides medically supervised detoxification for individuals suffering from drug and alcohol addition for adults aged 18 and older.
Highland Health Center currently has six beds, but the West Virginia Health Care Authority has approved a certificate of need for an additional 10 beds set for an Aug. 1 expansion date.
Hospital officials plan to renovate existing space in the former Highland Hospital facility to make room for the additional 10 beds. Highland spokesman Jim Strawn said the budget for renovations will not exceed $35,000.
"We are very excited about our opportunity to expand, as the need continues to rise," Deidre Doria, clinical coordinator of the program, stated in a release. "We are just turning away too many prospective patients because we do not have a bed."
Highland Health Center treats patients from all over the state.
Highland officials also continue to renovate the former United Hospital Center. When the Highland-Clarksburg Hospital opens later this year, it will have a 25-bed substance abuse unit for adults and a 10-bed substance abuse unit for 13 to 17 year olds.

Padres pull away for 5-1 win over Arizona
PHOENIX (AP) - Will Venable homered and drove in three runs, Robbie Erlin pitched six effective innings in his return to the majors and the San Diego Padres avoided a three-game sweep with a 5-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night.
Venable drove in the first of the Padres' two runs off Wade Miley (9-9) in the first inning and gave them a cushion with a two-run homer in the eighth. He's hitting .390 with eight homers in August and has an eight-game hitting streak.
Jesus Guzman also homered and had two RBIs for the Padres. Erlin (2-2) was sharp after being called up from Triple-A Tucson, holding the Diamondbacks to a run and six hits.
Willie Bloomquist had three hits, drove in a run and made some tough plays at shortstop in his first game off the disabled list for Arizona, which had its five-game home winning streak end.
The series finale was relatively quiet after Tuesday's wild game of lead changes, hits (26) and lineup shuffling, including a major league-record five different third basemen used by the Padres.
Erlin had a lot to do with it after being called up to take the rotation spot of Edinson Volquez, who was designated for assignment on Saturday.
The young left-hander struggled in his last appearance with the Padres, allowing four runs in four innings in a loss to Washington on July 7.
Erlin had pitched well before that, though, and was good early to start his fourth stint in the majors, working around a couple of baserunners in the third and fourth innings.
Erlin got himself into a little trouble in the sixth, when he walked Eric Chavez with two outs and gave up a single to Aaron Hill. Bloomquist, who had been out since being hit on the left hand by a pitch on July 26, followed with a single to right to cut San Diego's lead to 2-1.
Miley has been good since the start of July, going 5-1 with a 2.26 ERA in 10 starts. He wasn't particularly fortunate over his previous three starts, earning three straight no-decisions despite allowing seven earned runs in 21 innings.
Miley's tough luck continued.
He struggled early against the Padres, giving up a leadoff single to Chris Denorfia, a run-scoring double to Venable and a run-scoring single to Guzman to fall behind 2-0 in the first inning.
The left-hander worked through three baserunners in the second inning before settling into a rhythm. He allowed two runs on seven hits and walked five, but didn't get much support to lose for the first time in seven home starts.
The Padres padded their lead with the homers by Venable and Guzman off Heath Bell in the eighth inning.
NOTES: Diamondbacks 1B Paul Goldschmidt was given the night off after 47 straight starts. ... Arizona RHP Will Harris, outfielder/baserunning coordinator Joel Youngblood and Padres OF Carlos Quentin all shared a birthday on Wednesday. Quentin, on the DL since Aug. 10, will have surgery on his right knee and is done for the season. ... Arizona has Thursday off before opening a three-game series at San Francisco. RHP Randall Delgado, who will start the opener, is 3-1 with a 3.83 ERA his last seven starts. ... San Diego also has Thursday off before LHP Erick Stults faces LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu in the opener of a three-game series against the Dodgers.

@ Lilly
Thank you very much,you're so kind
I'm really glad you liked it
To come closer as possible to the scale I was going for I used 1mm or 1/24 inch knitting needles and 1 ply yarn(taken of a usual 3ply yarn) just in case anyone needs a hint
Oh and thank you for the link!Things that Althea knits are truly incredible!masterpieces!
Also I wanted to share a link to couple of free dolly knitting patterns
Here you can find a range of patterns for different scale dolls,things like hats,cardigans,jumpers
And here's a pattern to knit a tiny sock as a keyring!
But I think it'll fit a Tonner doll by making the sole a bit longer
these tiny socks are sooo cute,I squeak like a happy mouse that found a pound of cheese when I look at them ,they're so tiny,co cute!
@ sigma : you are totaly right about Althea Crome

Hi everyone!
I love a bit of knitting too! :)
By the way the about the video in your post Lily-I think this lady has done the knitting for the "Coraline" cartoon :D
Wow! Had to watch. I just bought a couple of doll knit patterns and wouldn't it be great to graph them out and maybe add some colour?
Thank you so much for sharing.
This is so wonderful I thought I should share this with you all knitters friends

The Honorable Russ Feingold
United States Senator Statement of Sen. Feingold on S. 1789, the Fair Sentencing Act I wanted to state for the record the reasons for my votes on S. 1789, the Fair Sentencing Act. I was a cosponsor of the bill that Sen. Durbin introduced to eliminate the disparity between the sentences given to individuals convicted of offenses involving crack cocaine and those involving powder cocaine. Under current law, a person found in possession of 50 grams of crack cocaine receives a 10-year mandatory minimum sentence, the same sentence as a person found in possession of 5,000 grams of powder cocaine. This 100-1 sentencing disparity is one of the greatest injustices in our criminal justice system today. It is a major contributor to the belief among many African Americans that the system is fundamentally unfair and biased against them. I have supported eliminating the disparity for years, and cosponsored then-Sen. Biden's bill on the same issue in the last Congress. The amendment offered by Sen. Durbin, reflecting an agreement reached with Sen. Sessions and other Senators who had been opponents of the bill, creates an 18-1 sentencing disparity. I do not think there is adequate justification for maintaining even this reduced disparity, so I voted against the amendment. However, I voted for the bill, as amended, because both the reduced sentencing disparity and other provisions in the bill, particularly the elimination of a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison for simple possession of crack cocaine, represent an improvement over current law. |
