Half-scale classic cars for half-pints
So maybe you can't actually buy the pint-sized Volkswagen Gol concept featured last week (and with a top speed of 17 mph, who'd want to?) but what would you say to a half-scale Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, Porsche Speedster, or Jaguar E-Type?
These tiny Pocket Classics roadsters feature working lights, turn signals, horn, and, most importantly, a 110cc gasoline engine with a three-speed automatic transmission. On models that don't come with the optional speed limiter, top speed is 46 mph. Of course, there's no word on how long it would take to reach that speed or how … Read more

Thanks to two prominent Detroit business people, the Shinnecock Indian Nation has its team in place to push for a casino. The tribe has already crossed one major hurdle – the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs has decided that the 1,300-member Long Island tribe is qualified to be officially, certifiably, legally a tribe.

Local media report
from the Urban NewsOn a cold, snowy November evening in 1906, a black man called "Will Harris," whose real identity was unknown, went on a killing spree that took the lives of three blacks and two whites in Asheville. At the time, Thomas Wolfe was six years old; thirty-two years later, he wrote about the events in a short story entitled "The Child by Tiger."
Wolfe's narrative will be the focus of a display at the Thomas Wolfe Memorial on North Market St., throughout November, and of a two-part discussion series at the YMI Cultural Center on November 27 and 29. The programs will be led by Dr. Darin Waters of the UNC Asheville History Department and independent Thomas Wolfe scholar Ms. Joanne Mauldin. ...
Among the issues to be discussed are: Is Asheville still segregated? Are race relations in Asheville different from those in other parts of North Carolina? Does the 1906 Will Harris event illustrate any truths about why race relations in Asheville are what they are? What impression did the event make on Thomas Wolfe the child, and what does the adult Wolfe's short story, "The Child by Tiger," suggest about the event and the writer? How does the written record differ from the lore handed down through generations in Asheville's black community? ...

~ Norwegian Black Metal Focus Of 'Comprehensive' New Web Site ~
Music Information Centre Norway reports that a new and comprehensive web site dedicated to Norwegian black metal is now up and running. The site should allow the international adherents to the genre an unprecedented insight into the maze-like edifice that is Norwegian black metal.
A large part of the allure of this musical style has been the obscurities of its history and the myriad interrelations between its main personae, all of which themselves represent something more than mere musicians and rather function as a pantheon of living symbols of blackness and frosty tanatos. From the outside world, and even domestically in Norway, the entity of Norwegian black metal has always been notoriously difficult to dissect and overview. And that is indeed the point one could argue, if not consciously then still a function of the emotions and attitudes that go into this music; regarding both its protagonists and its fans. So in a way it is perhaps counterproductive to Norwegian black metal's stature that it should now be exposed in its make-up and machinations. Still, it is undoubtedly true that a bit of transparency cannot harm an artistic expression, for it means simply that it is the music itself that becomes the centre of focus. And this is indeed also the expressed aim of the site. The conception of the scene known as "true Norwegian black metal" may be of interest but, as the site points out, the legends and rumours of the formative years in the early nineties are more about teenage bewilderment than anything else. Untangling the web of bands, projects, persons and the antagonisms between them makes the purely musical considerations; developments, influences and collaborations stand forth in new light. And from a musical standpoint this is more interesting than the obscurities of personal relations.
In line with this the site features categorical clarifications, lists of bands and records. The latter are organized subjectively, according to quality, it is stated, but despite this they constitute fairly comprehensive overview. Further the site is supposed to feature reviews of all new and recent releases, news and, not least, links and tools for further reading and indulgence in the music. For even though the tales of the scene's conception and personae will perhaps become demystified, the site offers some discussion of the cultural and historical background that makes this genre a distinctly Norwegian phenomenon.
All in all the site must be said to contribute a very valuable source of information and insight into Norwegian black metal, something clearly in great demand among the many fans of this genre around the world who have for a long time been left in out in the dark, rather than invited into the dark, due to language barriers and the de facto lack of a comprehensive site as such. This is not to say, of course that it is not the music itself that constitutes the darkness, but sometimes one wants a little extra-musical flesh on the growling, screaming skeleton.

~ EMPEROR Frontman, Wife Collaborate With Norwegian Folk Musician ~
Mnemosyne Productions has announced a brand new musical collaboration between EMPEROR frontman Ihsahn, Starofash (a.k.a. Ihsahn's wife Heidi S. Tveitan, a.k.a. Ihriel) and one of Norway's most well known folk musicians, Knut Buen. The project is called HARDINGROCK and the album is titled "Grimen".
According to a press release, "Grimen" presents folk tunes on the Norwegian national instrument, harding fiddle, text and melodies based on Norwegian mythical tradition, arranged and recomposed in modern form with influences from heavy metal and classical inspired electronica. It is said to be an experimental project where folk tunes are thematically broken down and expressed in a new rhythmic and harmonic form with guitars, piano, keyboards, percussion, recitation and song.
"It has been a great experience to work with such a fine musician as Knut Buen," says Tveitan. "The process has been challenging in terms of us having to work within the tonality of Norwegian folk music, and to make non-rhythmic music into 'rock 'n' roll rhythms.'"
"Even though the elements the three of us brought to the table were very contrasting, I think we're all very pleased with how it came together," says Ihsahn. "The material provided to us by Knut is a huge part of Norway's cultural treasure, and I think the album definitely is a worthy development that rocks!"
This album is set for release on June 11 via Nyrenning Forlag, and is distributed by Musikkoperatørene AS.

~ OBITUARY: New Album Title Announced ~
Florida death metal legends OBITUARY have set "Xecutioner's Return" (Candlelight Records) as the title of their forthcoming album. The CD's release date has been pushed forward to August 28 from the previously announced September 11. The band is finalizing U.S. touring plans now that will kick off in early September. Full tour details will be announced shortly.
OBITUARY is working with artist Andreas Marshall for the cover art for "Xecutioner's Return". Marshall has worked with the band for "The End Complete" and their most recent record "Frozen in Time". Tracking of the record has now been completed with mixing and mastering now on schedule in the coming weeks.
OBITUARY's first-ever DVD, "Frozen Alive", was released in Europe on December 11 via Metal Mind Productions (it arrived in the U.S. on January 16, through MVD Visual). The disc includes a seven-camera shoot of the Warsaw show plus the "Insane" video, the previously unreleased "On the Floor" video, interviews with Frank Watkins (bass), Trevor Peres (guitar), John (vocals) and Donald Tardy (drums), and three documentaries - the making of "Insane", the making of "Frozen In Time" album, and "Backstage In Poland".
OBITUARY's latest CD, "Frozen in Time", was released in July 2005 via Roadrunner Records. The group's first collection of new songs since 1997's "Back from the Dead" was self-produced by the band, with Mark Prator and Scott Burns engineering, and was mastered by Tom Morris at Morrisound.

~ DEICIDE Parts Ways With Guitarist RALPH SANTOLLA ~
Florida-based death metallers DEICIDE have parted ways with guitarist Ralph Santolla. A replacement axeman has not yet been announced.
Santolla (ex-DEATH, ICED EARTH) told blabbermouth.net last month that he was looking to join a new band "in any genre of metal." "I like to keep busy writing, recording and touring," Santolla said. "Down time drives me nuts. Anyone looking for a guitarist can contact me at email@example.com ."
Santolla appears on DEICIDE's latest CD, "The Stench of Redemption", which was released in August via Earache Records. The follow-up to 2004's "Scars of the Crucifix" was recorded at Morrisound in Tampa, Florida and marks the first DEICIDE recording following the departure of the Hoffman brothers.
DEICIDE released a DVD, "Doomsday L.A.", on February 6, 2007 via Earache. The set, which was filmed using multiple cameras on November 10, 2006 at the Knitting Factory in Los Angeles, features the group's most recent lineup of Glen Benton (bass, vocals), Steve Asheim (drums), Jack Owen (guitar; ex-CANNIBAL CORPSE) and Santolla. The bonus material incorporates exclusive interviews and promo videos, including the recent "Homage for Satan" clip.

~ IRON MAIDEN Guitarist Remembers Old School ~
The U.K.'s Hartlepool Mail reports that IRON MAIDEN guitarist Janick Gers has sent a commemorative plaque to his old school after it left a lasting impression during a recent visit.
Gers is from Hartlepool and attended English Martyrs School before going on to success with the international hard rock band.
He managed to squeeze in a visit to the school during a busy tour, and was pleased to find the music department had been extended with state-of-the-art technology and a new studio.
The school's head of music, Andrea Boyton, said: "The plaque arrived totally by surprise but we know Janick takes a really keen interest in how kids are getting into music.
"He is an inspiration to the music students as someone who has made it but still cares about where he came from and the grassroots of the industry.
''In fact, many of the students can be seen wearing IRON MAIDEN T-shirts."
The plaque is of the record "Dance of Death", which is a track written by Janick. It will take pride of place in the new music studio alongside a signed Fender Strat guitar.
Janick left the student's with the message: "The most important thing about music is to have fun."
The school is now planning on using the new music facility for community courses as well as focusing more on the vocational side of the music industry.

Born in Kingston, Jamaica on February 18, 1985, Lee Boyd Malvo had an itinerant childhood with his single mother. He met John Allen Muhammad along the way, who became a father figure. Unfortunately, it was under Muhammad's influence that Malvo learned to shoot and, ultimately, kill. Working with Muhammad, Malvo participated in a series of sniper attacks in the Washington, D.C. area in October 2002. Malvo was later convicted of several accounts of murder,
among other charges, and received multiple life sentences. He is currently incarcerated at Virginia's Red Onion State Prison, a maximum security facility.
Friendship with John Allen Muhammad
Lee Boyd Malvo was born on February 18, 1985 in Kingston, Jamaica. Malvo, along with John Allen Muhammad, is infamously known for participating in a shooting spree near Washington, D.C. for three weeks in 2002, and killing 10 people. The son of Una James and Leslie Samuel Malvo, Lee Boyd Malvo spent most of his childhood in Jamaica. With an absent father and a mother who often left him in the care of others, he was shuffled around a lot with little supervision.
Around 1998, Malvo and his mother moved to Antigua. It is believed that Malvo and Muhammad met there. He eventually made his way to the United States in 2001. He lived with his mother in Miami, where Malvo briefly attended high school, and they later moved to Bellingham, Washington. It was in a homeless shelter there that Malvo and Muhammad really began to develop their strange bond. While it was reported that Muhammad and Malvo's mother dated for a time, Muhammad seemed more dedicated to her son. Muhammad became a father figure of sorts to Malvo, playing chess with him, and putting him on a challenging exercise and diet regimen. A former member of the U.S. military, Muhammad also taught Malvo how to shoot, and they spent hours practicing. Many who knew the pair said that Muhammad appeared to be very controlling of Malvo.
In December 2001, Malvo and his mother were apprehended by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service for being in the country illegally. They were freed a month later, pending a deportation hearing. Malvo caught up with Muhammad soon after, and the two have been linked to a murder that happened that February.
Washington, D.C. Sniper Attacks
By the fall of 2002, Malvo and Muhammad had begun their deadly tour around the country. They have been tied to four shootings that left three dead and one injured in Maryland and Louisiana in September, and the next month they began their assault on the Washington, D.C. area. Using a rifle and creating their own sniper nest in the trunk of their car, Malvo and Muhammad worked as a murderous team—one selected the victim while the other pulled the trigger. From the car, they killed 10 people and injured three others.
For more than 20 days, people in Maryland, Virginia and the nation's capital were living in fear of the sniper shooters. Many were afraid to pump their own gas or cross a parking lot, as several of the victims had been killed while performing these once-mundane tasks.

This is a very underreported story. As bad as raising tax rates to 40% would be, if job creators have a sense that they can run their affairs without too much interference from the State and some confidence rates won´t move up yet again, they will adjust to the 40%.

Suppose they gave a Marxist revolution and nobody cared? New strategies and tactics are needed, and if necessity is the mother of invention, its time to fill the maternity ward.I submit for discussion the strategy of intentional non-compliance. A lesson learned from "Atlas Shrugged" is the importance to socialists to have the consent of their victims. Socialists cannot be shamed because they have no virtue, but they can be ignored because they value conformity. Perhaps its time to resurrect that old 1960's put down, "Sounds like a personal problem."The strategy of intentional non-compliance by conservatives will leverage off the 'wall of apathy' surrounding our citizenry that the socialists used to gain governing power. It may be most effective at the local level against Agenda 21 rules and regulations.The strategy of intentional non-compliance employs simple tactics: 1) Live your life. 2) Stay off the bureaucratic radar as long as possible. Ignore all letters and written notifications, be too busy to talk on the phone and do not return voice mail. Force them to come to you in person. 3) The bureaucrat will likely be a nice person just trying to do their job. Let them give their shtick. Do not sign any forms, but request time to read them carefully later. Thank them for being so kind to explain all these new requirements. Offer them a cookie. Smile and wave goodbye. 4) Continue to not comply.This is an excerpt from an essay I wrote a few weeks after the election. I'll post it on the Connection. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Python Programming/Databases
Python has support for working with databases via a simple API. Modules included with Python include modules for SQLite and Berkeley DB. Modules for MySQL , PostgreSQL , FirebirdSQL and others are available as third-party modules. The latter have to be downloaded and installed before use. The package MySQLdb can be installed, for example, using the debian package "python-mysqldb".
An Example with MySQL would look like this:
import MySQLdb db = MySQLdb.connect("host machine", "dbuser", "password", "dbname") cursor = db.cursor() query = """SELECT * FROM sampletable""" lines = cursor.execute(query) data = cursor.fetchall() db.close()
On the first line, the Module MySQLdb is imported. Then a connection to the database is set up and on line 4, we save the actual SQL statement to be executed in the variable query. On line 5 we execute the query and on line 6 we fetch all the data. After the execution of this piece of code, lines contains the number of lines fetched (e.g. the number of rows in the table sampletable). The variable data contains all the actual data, e.g. the content of sampletable. In the end, the connection to the database would be closed again. If the number of lines are large, it is better to use row = cursor.fetchone() and process the rows individually:
#first 5 lines are the same as above while True: row = cursor.fetchone() if row == None: break #do something with this row of data db.close()
Obviously, some kind of data processing has to be used on row, otherwise the data will not be stored. The result of the fetchone() command is a Tuple.
In order to make the initialization of the connection easier, a configuration file can be used:
import MySQLdb db = MySQLdb.connect(read_default_file="~/.my.cnf") ...
Here, the file .my.cnf in the home directory contains the necessary configuration information for MySQL.
An example with sqlite is very similar to the one above and the cursor provides many of the same functionalities.
import sqlite3 db = sqlite3.connect("/path/to/file") cursor = db.cursor() query = """SELECT * FROM sampletable""" lines = cursor.execute(query) data = cursor.fetchall() db.close()
When writing to the db, one has to remember to call db.commit(), otherwise the changes are not saved:
import sqlite3 db = sqlite3.connect("/path/to/file") cursor = db.cursor() query = """INSERT INTO sampletable (value1, value2) VALUES (1,'test')""" cursor.execute(query) db.commit() db.close()
import psycopg2 conn = psycopg2.connect("dbname=test") cursor = conn.cursor() cursor.execute("select * from test"); for i in cursor.next(): print i conn.close()
import firebirdsql conn = firebirdsql.connect(dsn='localhost/3050:/var/lib/firebird/2.5/test.fdb', user='alice', password='wonderland') cur = conn.cursor() cur.execute("select * from baz") for c in cur.fetchall(): print(c) conn.close()

Product Details Not all little girls want to be fairy princesses or elegant ballerinas for Halloween. Some prefer to enjoy the dark holiday for what it is, a time to be frightening and creepy! Let your little girl choose something that better suits her. Forgo the tutu or tiara and instead find a fake bat or some fake fangs to go along with her new ghastly attire. This year, let your little one transform into a creature of the night with the Midnight Vampiress child Halloween costume. The ankle length costume dress features a velvety black alongside a silky strip of dark pink. Just because she prefers the dark and mysterious does not mean she cannot have a girly side! The skirt hem features a wide length of pink lace, matching a similar accent that runs along each sleeve and across the bodice. The center focus of the dress is three silky black bat adornments. This young lady of the night may not need a costume cape, but she still has a tall, slightly curled collar to help shield her identity from unsuspecting victims! Add a pair of black dress shoes and she is ready for the next Halloween party! Year of Release 2009 Brand InCharacter AMZ Y Made In CHINA |
Product features: Midnight Vampiress Child 8, fake bat & fake fangs

FAT: It's not a four letter word.
At the turn of the 20th century lard, tallow, and butter had pride of place in our kitchens.
Today they are replaced by "vegetable" oils and we are obsessed with low-fat food. Why?
Our food certainly doesn't taste better and we are not healthier. Who is responsible for this vilification of fat?
The US Congress? The medical community? The media? The Duchess of Windsor?
Author Jennifer McLagan (Fat: An Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient) will explain how lipids got such a bad rap, and share some of the benefits of eating them.

Hey guys - here's a REALLY easy, yummy treat! We went camping last night and I whipped it up to everyone's amazement. (I am totally challenged when it comes to all things food related!)
Take a container of spreadable cream cheese (lite or ultra lite for you dieters) and empty it in the middle of a plate.
Pour Smucker's Caramel sauce over the cream cheese. Sprinkle Chipits Skor toffee bits over the whole concoction, then dip into it with slices of fresh granny smith apples.
Tastes like a caramel apple. Mmmm, mmmm.

New iPhone to get real digital compass?
As we get closer to WWDC in June, iPhone rumors continue to pop up. (We've reported on some here, here, and here.

For anyone who becomes a mother within nine months of a major holiday season (and, taking into account all of the holidays within every faith and cultural tradition, that means almost everybody!) I have a radical idea for you: Simplify your idea of how the holidays will look this year. Better yet, let yourself let someone ELSE handle everything. That way, your holidays with a new baby can be marked by joy, connection and peace -- just as they're meant to be! This doesn't mean that I don't think you are up to the task of balancing the needs of your infant with... read more

An expert on domestic terrorism said that while Friday's early morning shooting at a Colorado movie theater may not be terrorism, its effect on the public is very similar. Dr. Anthony Lemieux, a professor at Emory University's medical school, has spent much of his career studying the psychology of people who commit crimes like the shooting and the effect the attacks have on the public. He says the randomness of this attack is what makes it so difficult to deal with."It shows people that there are these potentials for this type of harm to visit us at seemingly any time, at any place. And so I think that's one of the things that's going to go more broadly. I think it gives us an opportunity, as a public, as a general society to think more about how resilient we can be in the face of these kinds of tragedies and attacks," said Lemieux.Dr. Lemieux says as he watches and studies the Aurora, Co. incident, he'll be focused on two things: the background and biography of the shooter, and how the public comes together and deals with the fear and the grief.

I just bought an adapter to hook my digital camera up to a spotting scope, which I borrowed from a friend, Tim Ackermann, who was on his way over from Maples with his new camera, there were a couple vehicles setting along Franke Rd and some folks standing, looking out in the field, so Tim stop to check on them and there was a man that drove 3 1/2 hrs. from east of Columbus Oh. to take pictures of this owl with a spotting scope and camera. (he might have mentioned he was a birdwatcher.) So Tim handed the guy his, and he took a couple shots with it , (hey you did say detailed as possible, right)? Well Tim came over and we hooked the adapter to his cam got it set up and went back out to check on the owl and he was still there so we took a few shots.

Management And Infrastructure SIG May 28, 2009
Posted by mwidlake in Management, Meeting notes.Tags: Management, Meeting, MI SIG
add a comment
It is the next Mangement and Infrastructure Special Interest Group meeting next week (MI SIG), on Wednesday 3rd June.
I currently chair the MI SIG and, just as Andrew Clark says about the Development and Engineering SIG, "it is not as sexy as it sounds" {The chairing, I mean, the SIG itself is incredibly sexy and wonderful}. It basically means I spend a few days 2 or 3 times a year helping organise the event, strongly supported by the UK Oracle User Group (and in particular by Michelle Ericsson) and by the deputy chairs, Gordon D. Brown, Neil Chandler and Tony Clements, our "Oracle buddy". I then chair the meeting itself.
Chairing may not be sexy, but it is rewarding, especially when we get a good line up of talks as for this one and the registered delegate numbers are healthy. SIGs have been suffering poorer attendances of late and a high number of delegates just not turning up, which is vexing (and, I'm sorry to be blunt, bloody rude to the speakers and committee who do this for free).
I'm presenting on "Being an IT Manager" and I am trying something different. I am ditching Powerpoint and I am just going to talk. It could be a disaster.
I'll of course let you know how it went. Alternatively, if there are still spaces, come along and witness for yourself.
welcome to my Blog – The Northern SIG April 29, 2009

I was thinking that I would start my blog with a technical piece, just to set my intention and credentials from the start, but as such pieces need some experience in formatting them correctly, I thought I would instead start with some words on my recent trip the UK Oracle User Group Northern Server Technology Special Interest Group. Or the Northern SIG, as it is easier (and much less of a mouthful) to refer to it.
These Northern SIGs occur due to the committed and diligent efforts of Lisa Dobson, supported by Neil Jarvis, and they give those North of Sheffield who find it hard to get down to London, Reading or similar places down South the opportunity of a day's presentations and mingling with fellow Oracle professionals. They give me the opportunity to escape the South and return to my adopted home of the North.
I started early by arriving in York on Monday and met up that evening with my friend Piet de Visser, who has recently been risen to the ranks of an Oracle Ace. And justly deserving too, an insightful and most helpful practitioner of database arts is Piet.
Having spent a pleasant evening with Piet, I arrived the next morning at the venue for the Northern SIG. I promptly bumped into Simon Haslam, a fellow presenter for the day, and we set off through the corridors of the Park Inn Hotel to find the meeting.
Lisa and Peter Robson kicked off the event with the usual introductions, but also thanking the delegates for getting there (it looked to me we had 50 or so people in the room, which is OK but we could have coped with 90). In the current business climate, SIG attendance has suffered and numbers are down. Asking around at this and other events, the slashing of travel budgets and managers' reluctance to have staff out of the office and not being seen to be "knuckling under" at the day job is a major issue for many. A great shame as it is when things get tough that you most need to keep on top of the technology and maintain links with others in the field, who often provide that extra help and advice that we all need from time to time. These meetings are effectively free training, I think you have to be something of an idiot to not appreciate them right now. Hey Ho.
Anyway, the first free training was Piet de Visser talking about backups, methods of backing up and a few insightful comments about "if it is not simple, it is not a good idea". This is the sort of clear thinking that led to his Ace-ship. I always like seeing Piet present, he has a gentle but quiet, biting humour in his presentation style. The topic itself is a good one and was basically pointing out that backups can be hijacked for other purposes, such as duplicating data, as an archive, for feeding reporting systems. But if that detracts from your primary goal of being a backup then maybe you need to think again. Piet and I share a viewpoint that a backup ain't a backup until you have shown that you can recover from it in a way that supports your business.
From this point on there were two streams and, being a single entity, I had to pick one presentation or another. I stayed in the main room as that just happened to be where the talks I felt I could benefit from most were. Next up was Patrick Hurley who gave an overview of datapump, the replacement for import/export. Datapump has been around for a few years now but many of us still use imp and exp of old. Because it is of old and we are all used to using it. It was a good overview of the topic and the sort of presentation I think we don't have enough of. Too many presentations (mine included) can be on details of a specific subject. Great for those who know all the basics, but bamboozling to those who have not grown grey with the rising dominance and complexity of Oracle. We need those expert presentations but I think we maybe need more of the intro and intermediate sort, such as this datapump one. By the end of the session I had learnt a few things; The general ways of using datapump; How fast it is compared to old imp/exp; a couple of jokes I am trying to get out of my mind; Patrick is a Jedi Knight.
Next up was a talk by Julian Dyke on the Optimizer Statistics, a topic I have a lot of interest in. Unfortunately, there was a talk on IT Disasters in the main room that I was obliged to attend, on the grounds I was the speaker. I did try to suggest to the audience that they had all made a mistake and should go next door, but they were not to be dissuaded. I am happy to say though that Julian got the bulk of the audience. Only just, mind, but certainly in his favour. My talk went fine, I did not run out of time (something I have had problems with over the last couple of years) and no one walked out on me or threw any shoes, so I count that as a success.
Lunch was a good opportunity to catch up with people and, amongst others, I was lucky enough to spend time talking to Peter Robson about the wider concerns of business ethics and the annoying way politicians' short term attitude can screw it up for us all, but I will save that for a later rant.
After lunch I had to miss Simon Haslam's talk on Weblogic (I am not a middleware person) in order to listen to Pete Finnigan. I love going to talks by Pete. I know very slightly more about security than middleware and in my working life security is a topic that comes up from time to time. Thanks to Pete's talks I now know enough to know I know too little. But I know who to ask if I need to know more. I failed in this latest talk to do what I normally do as Pete presents, which is to watch the audience as he matter-of-factly chats about how easy it can be to access systems and how protecting them is more than setting a few passwords and removing a few privileges. Ashen-faced shock is usually in evidence and much scribbling of notes. I should take no pleasure in this (to my shame I am afraid I do), I am sure that my ignorance in this area will cost me dear one day. Pete, expect a call in my darkest hour.
Streams merged for the final presentation of the day, which was the stalwart, ever dependable presenter Joel Goodman, talking about Oracle Exadata. Always informative, always encompassing and delivered in his clear, deep American tones. I always think of reliable, god-fearing, solid-as-a-rock pioneers of the American Mid-West when I see Joel present. I don't know if he would like that, but it is meant in the best possible way. I also think he could break me like a stick and shatter my bones if I upset him, but I have never seen him upset, despite my having been an arse to him on an occasion.
Oracle Exadata strikes me as a good concept and potential very, very useful, but something you are going to have to pay through the nose for and that could end up being such a phenomenal buy-in that it could become a noose around your IT departments' neck.
That left only the final round up and thank-yous by Lisa but a fire alarm cut through her last items and accelerated the closing of the event. A few of us presenters gathered in a hostelry for a pint and a chat after but the fire alarm had precluded the invitation of any other interested parties, which is a great shame. I've found through the SIG I chair that the people who come along to the drink who are not part of the established clique are those who are mostly likely to move from passive members to active members, who keep the whole show running. However, for myself it was a nice rounding off of a very enjoyable day and I will return to the South looking forward to the next UK Oracle User Group Northern Server Technology Special Interest Group event.

Tommy Lasorda is an American baseball manager born on September 22, 1927, in Norristown, Pennsylvania. He started as a Major League baseball player with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1945, but was most known for leading the Los Angeles Dodgers (1977-1996). Under his helm, his team won 1,599 games, eight National League West titles, four National League pennants and two World Series championships. He managed four All-Star games, and in 1997 was elected to baseball's Hall of Fame. After retirement in 1996,
Lasorda remained involved with the Dodgers in various senior positions.
Managing the Dodgers
Baseball manager Thomas Charles Lasorda was born in Norristown, Pennsylvania, on September 22, 1927. Lasorda is best known for leading the Los Angeles Dodgers for 20 seasons (1977-1996); he has been a part of the Dodgers organization for over 50 years total (for some time as a pitcher for the team). He is one of only four managers to remain at the helm of the same team for at least 20 years (he joins Connie Mack, John McGraw and Walter Alston, the Dodgers manager he replaced).
As a teenager, Lasorda took note of the motto on the side of a can of Carnation milk: "Contented Cows Give Better Milk," and that it was a concept he applied to his philosophy of managing. First as a player, then as a manager, he worked at keeping team morale high, telling jokes and giving praise for hard work. His approach, to remain positive and work towards keeping his players content, earned him the respect of players and management throughout baseball, and resulted in a largely successful career. He was known as a great leader, and as one of baseball's great personalities.
Hall of Fame
While Lasorda led the Dodgers, they won 1,599 games, eight National League West titles, four National League pennants and two World Series championships. He was elected to manage four All-Star games. In 1997, Tommy Lasorda was elected to baseball's highest honor, the Baseball Hall of Fame. Lasorda's modesty and respect for the talents of his players was evident even after being given the distinguished honor, having said, "I got into the Hall of Fame because my players put me there!" after receiving the honor.

Knowing what a great track should sound like - and the place it can be taken by warping and twisting it - is James Zabiela's forte. Layering different sounds with the combo of two Pioneer CDJ-2000s, a Pioneer RMX-1000, an EFX-1000, Korg Kaossilator, various MIDI controllers and a laptop, his hands and ears don't let up for a second, leaving any punters feet a-moving and mouth a-gap. Zabiela�s demands for such a kit wherever he spins is a reminder that he's one of the scant few DJs who's still pushing things forward. James' style is trippy, bleepy and deeply - nay, downright - groovy. Oh, and watch out for a few gnarly basslines along the way, those nasty, dirty sounds are a part of JZ's signature now. Scratches, loops, and fluttering chord changes are all par for the course in a Zabiela set.

In addition to state tests, such as the MCAs, the Minnesota Department of Education reports on other types of tests taken by Minnesota students. These tests include national tests, like the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), as well as tests given for a specific purpose, such as the EXPLORE and PLAN, used to help students create education plans for their future.
National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), also known as "The Nation's Report Card," is the only national assessment of what students know and can do in various subject areas. NAEP is given to a representative sample of students in grades 4, 8 and 12 in each state.
NAEP includes assessments in nine subjects following frameworks and assessment schedules set by the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB). Only Mathematics, Reading, Science and Writing are reported at the state level; all other subjects are reported at the national level only.
2011 Minnesota Results
To view Minnesota's results for Math, Reading and Science, select one of the following links.
From January 23 through March 2, 2012, NAEP will administer a national assessment in Economics (grade 12) and a Writing computer-based pilot (grade 4). All NAEP assessments conducted in 2012 will be at the national level only; no state results will be reported.
General information and nation-wide results are available at the NAEP section of the National Center for Education Statistics website. Links to the NAEP and related websites are provided under Related offsite resources. For more information contact Kate Beattie, Minnesota NAEP State Coordinator.

Hour after Red Sox win, explosion at marathon
Boston Red Sox's Mike Napoli hits a game-winning RBI double against the Tampa Bay Rays during the ninth inning of a baseball game at Fenway Park in Boston on Monday, April 15, 2013. Boston won 3-2. (AP Photo/Winslow Townson) |
BOSTON (AP) — The Red Sox and Rays were making their ways out of Fenway Park when two explosions near the finish line of the Boston Marathon were heard at the stadium.
The Red Sox beat the Rays 3-2 on an RBI double by Mike Napoli in the ninth inning on Monday in Boston's traditional Patriots' Day morning game.
The game began at 11:05 a.m. and ended at about 10 minutes after 2 p.m. A little less than an hour after that, about a mile away, the explosions from Copley Square could be heard by those in and around Fenway — but not in the clubhouses where the teams were getting ready to leave.
The players seemed unaware of the explosions as they were interviewed by reporters. In the Red Sox room, they dressed in suits and ties for their trip to Cleveland, where they're scheduled to start a three-game series against the Indians on Tuesday night.
A team spokesman sent a text message saying the team had reached the airport. And Tampa Bay manager tweeted a few hours after the game: "Just landed safely in Baltimore. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims & the families affected by this afternoon's horrible event."
The game sent the Red Sox fans home happy — at least for a while.
With the scored tied at 2, Napoli drove a line-drive double off the left-field wall in the ninth inning that scored Dustin Pedroia from first with eh winning run.
"I was a little out front but I was able to keep my hands back," Napoli said. "My body went a little forward (and) I just kind of flicked my wrist at it."
Jarrod Saltalamacchia, whose solo homer in the fifth had given Boston a 2-1 lead, had a good view from the on-deck circle.
"It was awesome, a strong man to be able to hit a ball one handed out in front like that and just hit it off the top of the wall," he said, "but it's huge, a guy with that much power, it's a threat and it's nice to have that in our lineup."
Napoli, who signed as a free agent in the offseason, has been batting fourth while designated hitter David Ortiz recovers from Achilles' tendon soreness. He is on a rehabilitation assignment at Triple-A Pawtucket and could return shortly.
Left fielder Matt Joyce had a tough time handling the bounce off the Green Monster.
"I thought the ball would be off the wall so I tried to take the best angle to it," Joyce said. "It was one of those things where you rush and can't get it out of your glove. Then, when that tends to happen, you try to force the issue and the ball goes a little high."
The Rays had two hits before finally showing some offensive punch in the ninth when Desmond Jennings led off with a single, stole second and scored the tying run on a single by Ben Zobrist off Andrew Bailey (1-0).
Joel Peralta (0-1) retired Boston's first batter in the bottom of the ninth before walking Pedroia. Napoli then ended it.
The Red Sox had lost all three of their previous Patriots' Day games against Tampa Bay.
"Hopefully they'll invite us back next year and we can get back on a streak," Rays manager Joe Maddon said.
It was also Jackie Robinson Day around the majors.
All uniformed team personnel wore the number 42 on their uniforms in recognition of Robinson, marking the 66th anniversary of his breaking the Major League Baseball color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
NOTES: Hellickson had been 2-0 in four starts at Fenway Park. ... Boston rookie LF Jackie Bradley Jr. is hitless in his last 20 at bats after going 0-for-3. ... The National Anthem was sung by the Berea Seventh Day Adventist Church Choir from Boston. Among the singers was 14-year-old Gabriel Clarke, who was shot in January on his way to choir practice. ... The Red Sox start a three-game road series against the Indians and manager Terry Francona, Boston's former manager. Felix Doubront (0-0) pitches for Boston against Ubaldo Jiminez (0-1). ... The Rays send Roberto Hernandez (0-2) to the mound for the opener of a three-game series at Baltimore with Jake Arrieta (0-0) pitching for the Orioles.

Reasons to Love Winesday: Wine Wednesdays at Mohegan Sun
It seems that Wednesdays are officially becoming synonymous with wine! In addition to our "Winesday" column, you can now enjoy an array of vino-based festivities at Mohegan Sun's latest weekly event, "Wine Wednesdays." The evenings embrace the acclaimed restaurants and lounges already present within the casino, but present them with an emphasis on wine. Four course pairing dinners unfold every Wednesday at both Bobby Flay's Bar American and Todd English's Tuscany. Casino guests can also relax with a glass of champagne and smooth jazz rifts at the Vista Lounge starting at 8pm. The first Wednesday of every month, though, has a special offering: "Tasting and Tapas" at Todd English's Tuscany. I had the pleasure of experiencing the affair (which has an impressively alliterate title, I might add) earlier this month.
Tasting and Tapas unfolded on the beautiful "patio" in the front of Tuscany. Tuscany has an indoor restaurant with the kitchen, bar, and tables, as well as a front portion looking out on the casino. Mohegan adopted the motif of a night sky, so guests sitting in that area feel the illusion of eating dinner under twinkling stars on a summer's evening.
