City Council's 'Clouseau' makes some interesting hires: Dan Mihalopoulos
BY DAN MIHALOPOULOS December 17, 2013 8:22PM
Chicago's Legislative Inspector General Faisal Khan | Sun-Times file photo
Article Extras
Updated: January 19, 2014 11:54AM
When the City Council's internal investigator made allegations of wrongdoing against aldermen earlier this year, one council member derided Faisal Khan as an "Inspector Clouseau."
That may sound harsh. But if two of the aides Khan has hired are any indication, he might have trouble living down the nickname.
Khan could have hired experienced corruption fighters. Instead, he chose two people with deep ties to Chicago politics, among other interesting experiences.
One just returned to her city job after taking leave — to work on a campaign. The other lists working for shock jock Mancow Muller among her qualifications.
Khan's chief of staff is Kelly Tarrant. She worked for more than 11 years as executive director of Citizens for Jesse White, the secretary of state's campaign committee.
Tarrant was listed last year as the organizer of a fundraiser for State Rep. Derrick Smith, the West Side Democrat who since was indicted by the feds.
Her other employers in recent years included Scott Lee Cohen. He made headlines in 2010 for abandoning his campaign for lieutenant governor amid a flurry of allegations ranging from spousal abuse to steroid use.
Tarrant has also worked as a fundraiser for Bob Fioretti — one of the 50 aldermen that Khan's office is supposed to keep an eye on.
Another of Khan's six assistants is Kathy Posner. Like Tarrant, Posner also has worked in politics here in Chicago.
Posner's online resume says she came to the business of investigating alleged City Hall corruption in March after a five-month stint as a senior consultant to "The Mancow TV Show."
Khan, now in his third year on the job, defends Tarrant and Posner as just the help he needs. Their political experience, he argues, "works in our favor, not against us," and he singles out Tarrant as "the perfect hire."
"I want this kind of staff, providing insider knowledge I don't have," says Khan, who moved here from New York City. "Aldermen are really complex characters."
What if Tarrant or Posner walked into an interview and knew the person to be questioned from a campaign? Khan says the investigator would be pulled from the interview — if not necessarily the case.
Tarrant says she has recused herself in some instances, although Khan can't reveal specifics without improperly disclosing ongoing investigations, he says.
Khan cleared Tarrant recently to take a 10-week leave of absence to work on the state House campaign of Eddie Winters. She came back to work at Khan's office on Monday.
"There's no one better to be investigating corruption than someone who has been in the arena," Tarrant said this week. "I've seen the right, I've seen the wrong. I'm able to identify pretty quickly what's acceptable."
Going back out on the campaign trail briefly, she says, gave her "the opportunity to sharpen my knives, so to speak."
She was so proud of her involvement with Khan that she wrote a 4,000-word blog post in October announcing the start of her leave of absence and lauding her boss.
The post on her "Chicago Democrat Examiner" blog was titled "A Tale of Two IGs" and ripped Joe Ferguson — the inspector general who polices the rest of city government, besides the aldermen — for allegedly not helping Khan. Tarrant claimed Ferguson's office would not let Khan's staff use its official city seal to stamp documents.
The photo gallery with Tarrant's blog post included a picture of her shiny silver "Assistant Legislative Inspector General" badge.
Khan took the newly created job in 2011 and immediately faced great skepticism. The aldermen who chose him had refused to let Ferguson's office have the power to investigate them. Instead, they created their own inspector general, with a puny budget.
Chicago's hacks often love to speculate about the alleged hidden political agendas of federal prosecutors and Ferguson's team. It's highly unlikely, though, that either the U.S. attorney in Chicago, the FBI or Ferguson would hire anybody with the pedigrees of Tarrant and Posner, or let their investigators go on leave to work on campaigns.
The possibilities for conflicts of interests, especially in Tarrant's case, seem endless.
That Khan has chosen to spend some of his office's scarce taxpayer funds to hire political insiders — and doesn't get why this only tarnishes his office — casts him as more Clouseau than corruption-buster.

U.S. consumers will have access to $300 million in appliance rebates for buying Energy Star appliances under provisions releases yesterday by the U.S. House Appropriations Committee. The rebates would be state-administered.
The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) was quick to voice support for the provision, saying it provides the funding necessary to implement the rebate program, which was authorized under the Energy Policy Act of 2005. AHAM said the consumer rebate program will result in dramatic savings for consumers—$1.2 billion in utility costs could be saved annually in California alone if every household upgraded to Energy Star appliances.
Importantly, the rebates can offset some of the price premium that comes with buying Energy Star appliances over their less-energy efficient counterparts. These savings, coupled with the lifetime energy savings, AHAM points out, would more than pay for the total investment in the new appliances.
The environmental benefits are also substantial—10 billion kWh per year for California if all households upgraded.
"Funding this federal-state appliance rebate program will benefit consumers by reducing the cost of Energy Star appliances and provide them with additional discretionary income by way of reduced utility bills. The energy savings and climate benefits are also significant. It's a practical, effective public policy measure at this time. Retiring older, less efficient appliances with Energy Star products is the single, most cost effective step a consumer can take to save money and energy," stated AHAM President Joseph M. McGuire. "The home appliance industry urges Congress and the President to enact this measure."

Lost Planet 2
Version and / or Patch Used: Standalone Benchmark
Timedemo or Level Used: Built in Benchmark - Test A Scene 1
Developer Homepage: http://www.capcom.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.lostplanet2game.com/
Lost Planet 2 is a third-person shooter video game developed and published by Capcom. The game is the sequel to Lost Planet: Extreme Condition which is also made by Capcom, taking place ten years after the events of the first game, on the same fictional planet. The story takes place back on E.D.N. III 10 years after the events of the first game. The snow has melted to reveal jungles and more tropical areas that have taken the place of more frozen regions. The plot begins with Mercenaries fighting against Jungle Pirates. After destroying a mine, the Mercenaries continue on to evacuate the area, in which a Category-G Akrid appears and attacks them. After being rescued, they find out their evacuation point (Where the Category-G appeared) was a set-up and no pick up team awaited them. The last words imply possible DLC additions to the game: "There's nothing to be gained by wiping out snow pirates... unless you had some kind of grudge."
Lost Planet 2 sees the VisionTek R9 280X 3GB and AMD HD 7970 GHz Edition 3GB perform very close to each other with the new R9 offering coming out a little faster at the highest resolution and giving us a bit more breathing room at 71 FPS.
The GTX 770 2GB manages to perform stronger across the board and that doesn't come as a huge surprise as Lost Planet 2 is heavy again on the tessellation side of things.

Sixty years ago, Dave McCoy created a ski resort that turned into a world-class escape. At 98, he's a man who lives in the present.
Life could have gone many ways for Dave McCoy.
As he finished high school in Washington state, the natural athlete had offers to become a pro boxer or join football's big leagues. But something inside his soul was pulling him south, to the snow-covered mountains in California.
"Something told me when I was a kid I was going to spend my life here," he says. "I think the good Lord said to me, 'You're going to spend your life in Mammoth.'"
Mammoth Mountain, about a six-hour drive from Orange County, has become the go-to spot for local travelers who seek world-class slopes, or for investors who have swooped up properties as second homes or rentals.
McCoy has seen Mammoth Mountain through all its growth, from when it was a six-person town into what it is today: a vibrant, busy mountain community that has become one of the top snow resorts and destinations in the country.
When asked to recount the history of Mammoth, the first thing McCoy says is this:
"I'm 98 years old, ya know."
McCoy was born in El Segundo, but after his parents divorced when he was a teen he went to live with his grandparents in Washington. After finishing high school in the mid-1930s, he hitchhiked his way down to Independence before making his way to Bishop.
Shortly after, he was hired by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power to work on maintaining aqueducts, water metering and snow surveying.
His work took him throughout Owens Valley. He made about $4 a day.
During his time at the LADWP, he noticed that an area called McGee Mountain could be great for skiing, he said. He built rope tows that local skiers would use to get on the mountain. By the '40s, he noticed that nearby Mammoth had much better skiing potential.
"I knew there was snow," he said in a recent video. "Nobody else wanted to think about it. There was no road to it, there was too much snow. The winters were so long. In those days, if you wanted to go enjoy something, you had to go hike for it. And every time we went back there, it was so great."
There were also no trails, no signs telling people what runs are black diamond, no luxury of a fast-moving lift that can hold four people at a time.
The area had a population of six.

About Governor Mary Fallin
In 2010, Mary Copeland Fallin was elected to serve as the first woman governor of Oklahoma.
She was reelected in 2014 to her second term by a 15-point margin, carrying 71 out of 77 Oklahoma counties.
Since Fallin took office in 2011, Oklahoma has consistently ranked among the top states for job creation in the nation.
Prior to serving as governor, Fallin represented the people of Oklahoma in a number of state and federal positions. She served two terms as a state representative before becoming Oklahoma's first Republican and first woman lieutenant governor in 1995.
In addition, the governor has signed into law historic lawsuit reform and a complete overhaul of the state's workers' compensation system, eliminating frivolous lawsuits that hinder business growth and retention.
Governor Fallin has also signed bills to modernize and streamline government operations, responsibly cut the income tax, increase compensation for public employees, and address the state's fiscally unstable pension system.
At the governor's direction, the state has appropriated more than $154 million in the past two years for K-12 education, allowing more money into the classroom and a boost to student performance.
In addition to her state-wide education initiatives, Governor Fallin has lead a nation-wide dialogue among state legislators and governors through her past-chairmanship of the National Governor's Association to better align education and workforce needs of the 21st century called America Works: Education and Training for Tomorrow's Jobs.
The governor is a graduate of Oklahoma State University. She is married to Wade Christensen, Oklahoma's first "First Gentleman." The couple has six children between them.

My words from my mind
Slow fgets in PHP. or does it?
We have a piece of codes that looks something like this
... $old_file = fopen($filename, 'r'); $new_file = fopen($new_filename, 'w'); while($buffer = fgets($old_file)) { ... \\ $buffer is being edited here $buffer = $new_buffer; fwrite($new_file, $buffer); } ...
It all works fine and very speedy all the while until one day we decided to run this piece of codes from a network drive.
Oh ya, did I mention that it's running on a Windows Server?
When the codes above is running on the Network Drive, it slows down to almost 1 minutes per file, which normally only takes 1 seconds or less on a local drive. What went wrong?
Probably just like any debuggers will do, I went and print the execution time needed for each blocks of codes. Given that a while loop is a while loop, I didn't put a timer inside the while loop, but only before and after the while loop.
The conclusion was that this particular while loop is taking most of the processing time. And as what most modern programmers will do, we ask Google about it.
"PHP fgets slow on network" I searched. Lot's of results are complaining that fgets is slow. Hmm, now I know. But what's the alternative? many. But hmm TL:DR. Too long, let's find another shorter more to the point article (probably not this one I'm writing).
Searching on I read somewhere suggesting to comment out the fwrite() and try again. I did that, and it works faster. And of course it doesn't solve my problem, but it seems that I'm going the right way. And voila, move the fwrite outside of the while loop, and it goes back to the better speed.
... $old_file = fopen($filename, 'r'); $new_file = fopen($new_filename, 'w'); $buffer_holder = ""; while($buffer = fgets($old_file)) { ... \\ $buffer is being edited here $buffer_holder .= $new_buffer; } fwrite($new_file, $buffer_holder); ...
So in short, don't write into file line by line, write them at once. This way, you don't have to go back and fort from Malaysia to US, but one trip is enough.
a real man only takes one trip
From Unicorn to Unicode
What is worse than knowing that Unicorn exists in some other dimensions but you will never be able to see it?
My answer will be the xA0 character from some encoding world that I don't even know to exist. Being an Earthling, the only encoding world I've been and known is the Unicode. More specifically the UTF-8 realm.
Interestingly, many Unicode based systems reject the xA0 (or any nonconvertible characters) and totally crashes the system. Take Python for example, and also PostgreSQL later on.
In Python, there is a function call unicode() that convert a string from other encoding to Unicode.
unicode(object[, encoding[, errors]])
However, the "errors" handling is defaulted to "strict". It means that it will complain that "Something is wrong" whenever there is an error. Basically it means that it will break the system when there is an untranslatable character in the object that you are trying to convert.
There are two other options in handling conversion errors.
- "replace" to replace the untranslatable character to the official Unicode replacement character
- "ignore" basically replace the untranslatable character with an empty string.
When inserting non Unicode strings into an UTF-8 (Unicode based) databases, PostgreSQL will try to translate them first. Same thing will happen if the said string contain an untranslatable character, it will throw you an error.
This can be a hell of a problem because it technically break your system if your system is a one of those systems that process input and save them into a database.
So the solution is usually to try to catch these unicorns before they escaped into the database.
The adventure of the Old Mac line breaker in the Python world
There are many representations of a new line, End Of Line indicator, or a line breaker. You probably heard of the terms Line Feed (LF) and Carriage Return (CR). They are technically characters like the letter "A" and small letter "a". But instead of printing the letter, they tell the system that it's the end of a line. However, different computer system uses these 2 common characters in different ways but let's narrow it down into the 2 most common ones, namely the Unix version "LF" and the Windows version "CR+LF". But wait a minute, there is this Old Mac version as well that uses only CR character to represent the end of line.
Interestingly in the Python's universe (and probably some other even more racist universes), the Old Mac convention is by default not a line breaker. If you read a file full of lines that only ends with "CR" using the standard file open() function in Python, they will come out as a single line text.
As a slightly less racist developer, we need to build applications that can support as many types of stuff as possible. Here are 2 tricks to help you ensure the file you are reading is read properly the next time you use it.
When reading a file
# Use the 'rU' mode so it understand the Old Mac properly file = open('filename', 'rU')
If you happen to be working with File upload in Django, this might be useful
# http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1875956/how-can-i-access-an-uploaded-file-in-universal-newline-mode # First, read the uploaded file and convert it to unicode using unicode() function # Second, stream the file using io.StringIO function with the Universal-newline mode turn on by setting newline=None import io stream = io.StringIO(unicode(request.FILES['foo'].read()), newline=None)
Slicker way to export crosstab in Tableau
Tableau has an awesome feature to allow users to export the processed data into crosstab, or I would say Comma Separated Value format.
We use Tableau to help us visualize data into graphs and charts. And our raw data is often messy and huge and doesn't really make sense in that granular state. So the charts and graphs are really much better to look at. And even though some users are happy enough by looking at charts, some others find it important that we can get the post-calculated raw date, i.e. the numeric equivalent of the given chart.
But when it comes to a grander scale of a few thousands rows of records, The Export Crosstab to Excel just doesn't work well. It took a very long time to work, and that if it works at all.
So, instead of exporting it to Excel, use Copy -> Crosstab function. This function is surprisingly much faster than exporting to Excel.
As a comparison, exporting 50,000 rows to Excel will take forever, and never but copying the same 50,000 rows to clipboard only takes 5 seconds.
The Magical Tableau Filtering and how to get the Tableau result limiting right
NOTE: this tutorial is based on the coffee shop sample data came with tableau desktop.
The other days long time ago, we all thought that there is a simple way to limit the results of a tableau report. Even though it's a bit of an unwritten magic, but the legend stays true that it's quite simple indeed.
Say that you have a coffee shop chain that is doing so well it has branches in all 4 corners of the imaginary planet of Zox. Now you have no other thing to do, you decided to look at the ups and downs of your profit throughout the year. So you decided to make a chart that looks something like this
Now you can see how much sales your coffee shop is making along the year in a very nice chart. But it's too much information on the chart, so you decided to just show the top 3 products based on its sales.
To do that, you pulled the product field from the Dimensions field box into the Filters box on the top left corner. A dialog window will pop up and navigate to the "Top" tab. You set it to only show the top 3 products based on the total sales of that product.
All looks good so far. After looking at the chart for like 10 seconds, you got bored again. So you decided to add more fun to the chart. "How about getting the top 3 products of each product type you have, Coffee, Espresso, Herbal Tea and Tea" you thought, then you proceed to pull the Product Type field into the Filters box and make the selection box appear on the right side of the chart.
(Right click on the Product Type filter and click "Show Quick Filter")
and tada… everything looks wrong now. It only shows 1 product, instead of Top 3 products as you've commanded it to show.
So you play around with the filter on the right and figured that it might be the culprit. You looked back at the pictures that you've screenshotted and noticed something that might be useful, the "Add to Context" option on the right click menu.
You do that to the Product Type filter and voila!! it works!!
Tableau filter by default doesn't apply to the "Top x" filter. By adding a filter to context, it's specifically telling tableau that the filter is to be taken contextually. Without the "add to context" option, the "Top x" will get the top x across the product type, as if the filter is not there at all.
This problem had costed me a million seconds to fix, but I hope that this short article will save some of your time.
Alteryx encoding
Have you ever get so fed up because there is no such thing as "Encoding" tool in the vast collection of Alteryx tools and you are getting a non "CSV" export file filled with unreadable characters in it? Well, You've came to the right place.
Alteryx uses the term "code pages" to describe encoding, or UTF-8 or Character Sets setting. What the hack is code page anyway? can't you just say "Encoding" or "Character Set" so it's more commonly used nowadays?
Anyway, here is the solution. First, search the Alteryx help index for "code page" and it will list you a list of encoding standards with its respective code.
Now, comes the biggest spoiler, the encoding tool is hidden inside the Formula tool as a "function" and named ConvertToCodePage and ConvertFromCodePage.
How I forced myself to spend time on a side project
I found it so much easier for me to be productive when I'm at office, forced to work from 9-5 every Monday to Friday than to working at home on a side project where I don't really have a fixed working hour.
Why is it so hard?
Few differences that I observe to be different between office and home and how I fix them:
You are mostly working alone at home.
Most of the side projects I've done is a lone project. Somebody (or me) started it and a developer is needed and I volunteer and boom, you are all alone. It could be a good thing for some people, but I find it very demotivating.
Well, most projects failed badly and I blame the loneliness that I felt during the project. I felt that I needed approval from another peer. I needed somebody else to say that, "Hey, it's awesome". Or, "hey, you can do this better by doing this". You have peers probably scrutinizing your work all the time at office. But when you don't get the scrutiny, you don't feel confident.
But hey, again, you are the master of everything now. It's your own project and you know best about everything. I need to constantly remind myself that "I'm a good programmer" and "it's OK to make mistakes". It's easier to say than done, of course. But, it's really normal to fail. Failure is how we learn to be better.
Another thing that might help is the online community. Go to forums, stackoverflow, or github. Share your works, and get feedback or get some peers to help you do the things that you are working on. It's kind of popular right now, isn't it?
You don't have a fixed time at home.
When you are at home, you start working when you feel like working. But there is always a problem to start working. I found that the problem with me is that I am lazy. And the reason of why I'm lazy is because the amount of time that I need to spend working is infinity. Unlike at office, you have a finite working hour everyday. You know that you just need to work until 5 o'clock and after that you are free. And that kind of make you happy a little bit.
Do the same thing at home. Set the amount of time you are willing to spend on your side project. For me, the easiest way to do so is by setting a timer. In fact, I have a timer running right now as I'm writing this. Set it to one hour each, don't make it too long. Just enough for you to finish a small task.
So many distractions at home.
You got so much freedom at home that you probably won't start doing anything. That's certainly not true. I'm supposed to be working on my side project right now, but instead, I'm writing this article. Let it be. It's something productive anyway. Don't feel bad about yourself. Do things that you enjoy doing. If the project never got finished, at least you've got some fun time doing something else. Don't to be too harsh on your life. There is time for playing, and there is time for working. When the time for working comes, you will find yourself working.
You don't directly get paid when working on a side project.
Well, this is probably the hardest part. Money, either directly or indirectly, is probably the greatest motivation of all. It's really hard to do something unless you are certain that it will give you something back in return. And that something is normally money. But, for personal project, you are normally getting the money at the very later stage of the project. Probably after you've spend thousands of hours and bloods (and money).
That's why you need to swift your motivation a little bit. Start by thinking that money is not what you are aiming for. Let the project be a "just for fun" project without shutting its prospect to shine and become a gold digger. In other words, only do project that you enjoy doing unless you get paid upfront.
The art of writing codes
I'm supposed to be fixing a bug in my Expressionengine module right now. But, instead of that, I feel like procrastinating a little bit and write about fixing bugs. Not exactly just about fixing bugs, but a lot of other things about writing codes. But well, I think I didn't mean to write about bugs, but since it's been written this way, I will just leave it there. I will write about fixing bugs next time.
This time, I would like to write about writing. Writing is a very old technology. Writing is said to be the requirement of a civilization to success. And now, we have come to a point of time where writing is very important for every single person on Earth (I'm not really sure about other planets, though).
Holy crap, this is going to be a very boring article.
There are probably tons of articles on how to write English well. My question is, can we apply these human language principles in programming languages? why not?
Writing codes for computers has evolved from writing symbols that only computers can understand (or probably binary? I don't know) to the variety of so many high level programming languages where it's more for human to read rather than the machines. But the problem is, there is still a very big gap between what a computer can understand and what a human can read. And I have to say that it's easier to write for the machine than for human to read.
My job for the past few weeks are basically reading codes. I would like to call my self a software archaeologist. Wait a moment, some other dude already used that term before? fine…
Reading people's code is time consuming, stressful, difficult, and a very complicated job. Programmers love to complain about having to debug some buggy codes or being in the maintenance mode without being able to write new codes from scratch. But, let's read it like a book. There are stories to unfold, mystery to solve. There are characters like functions, objects, variables, classes. the more we read, the more we understand them. The emotional connection between the readers and the fictional characters grown.
What if we write codes like we write books. What I mean here is that we take human as our main audience and focus on delivering information that are intended for human to read. That's probably what we have been doing all this time by writing comments in our codes. But, writing comments are just part of the task here. I believe we can do much more than writing comments. We can even write to a point where we don't really need to write any comment anymore.
Proper naming of your characters
A good writer doesn't roll a thousand faced dice filled with human names and set their characters based on the names that show up. Most writer pick a name because it has something to do with the story. Darth Vader actually means Dark Father where he turn out to be (Spoiler alert!!) Luke's fathers.
We name our everything in our codes. We are the god of that universe. But that universe is not yours alone. So, name them for the purpose of clarity. We want the readers to understand what a function does without having to rip open that function. In other word, generate_random_name() should generate a random name and kill_your_self() will actually kill your self.
I know it's difficult sometimes to pick a proper name. But, at least think about the future human readers when you are naming them.
Human readable algorithm
Once you've got the naming right, it's easier to write human readable algorithms.
if andy.isStupid: andy.go_to_school()
But, there are also some other things to consider. There are always more than one way to achieve a goal in coding. The kind of codes I would like to read are the ones that are easiest to read without compromising performance. At the end, speed is still the most important thing for your boss.
Put a lot of them. Put a line break on every groups of codes. Make it clear that this chunk of codes are family while its neighbor down there is something else. Remember, you are writing for human to read, not the machine.
Last, and the most important one IMHO, is make it consistent. Make every style in your codes mean something. If you like camelcase, use camelcase. I sometimes use camelsase and under_score for a different purpose. camelCase for variables and under_score for functions.
It's never about right or wrong. It's about trust. If camelCase means functions, and suddenly I see camelCase which is not a function, I lose that trust on you. I can't trust you anymore and it makes the whole program harder to read.
From rwx to 777
Have you ever come to a situation where you are so new in town and you don't know how to blend in? You kind of see everybody as a codes that's made up of rwx rwx rwx but you are speaking in the language of numbers like 667 or 557.
Now that you need to be like everyone else, I'll teach you how to extract the numbers from those "rwx"es. First, you need to catch one of them, bring them into a dark room called stat. Once he's inside the stat room, he will speak out many other languages, including the number language that you need to know.
stat something.a
Now you know their number. You know what to do from there.
If you still don't know, here is the magic words.
chmod <the magic number> <yourname>
For example:
chmod 0776 you
Speeding up your query with Temp Tables
If you have a query that:
- have a lot of subqueries
- join many different tables or subqueries
- going to return a huge amount of data
- take forever to run (more than 1 minutes)
- you have a busy database server
You can run your query in a hundred times faster speed by storing some groups of subqueries results into a temp table first before running the final joins using these temp tables.
This way, you will have:
- a smaller sets of queries to run
- which will reduce the memory usage
- and reduce the chance of blocking other running queries
- and it runs a hell lot faster.
Let's make a super simple example.
--Old and Slow --let's assume that huge_table_a and huge_table_b both contain 1 billion records each SELECT tbl_a.item, tbl_a.profit_share, tbl_b.profit_share, FROM (SELECT item, Sum(profit) / Max(profit) AS profit_share FROM (SELECT item, profit, UNNEST(regions) AS region FROM huge_table_a WHERE region = "south") GROUP BY item) tbl_a JOIN (SELECT item, Sum(profit) / Max(profit) AS profit_share FROM (SELECT item, profit, UNNEST(regions) AS region FROM huge_table_a WHERE region = "north") GROUP BY item) tbl_b ON tbl_a.item = tbl_b.item ORDER BY tbl_a.profit_share DESC;
Using Temp Tables
-- Will run a lot faster especially in a busy DB CREATE TEMP TABLE tmp_table1 AS ( SELECT item, Sum(profit) / Max(profit) AS profit_share FROM (SELECT item, profit, UNNEST(regions) AS region FROM huge_table_a WHERE region = "south") GROUP BY item ); CREATE TEMP TABLE tmp_table2 AS ( SELECT item, Sum(profit) / Max(profit) AS profit_share FROM (SELECT item, profit, UNNEST(regions) AS region FROM huge_table_a WHERE region = "south") GROUP BY item ); SELECT tbl_a.item, tbl_a.profit_share, tbl_b.profit_share, FROM tmp_table1 tbl_a JOIN tmp_table2 tbl_b ON tbl_a.item = tbl_b.item ORDER BY tbl_a.profit_share DESC;

It seems like almost everyone loves to play video games. People from all walks of life are enjoying a video game right now on computers, consoles and even phones. The following article offers many useful techniques associated with video games.
If you're buying a game for a gift, be sure to find the ESRB rating when purchasing one for a child. This will give you the age range that is deemed appropriate for the particular game. Do not purchase a game that would be too violent or would expose a child to sexual content.
If your child is using a console that has online capabilities, make sure you tweak the family settings before they have a chance to play. This will help you filter some of what your child sees, to ensure that they are only exposed to appropriate information. You can also use these settings to limit how much they chat online and with whom.
You should allow yourself to stretch every so often when playing video games. Remember that you are performing repetitive motions again and again when playing video games. Your muscles need to be stretched so they don't get cramped up. It will keep you healthy and strong.
Utilize the game store clerks to help determine what games you might enjoy. Many people have specific genres of games they enjoy, but may not know what new games have come out. Just ask an employee when you call or enter the store and they will surely help you find something you like.
Instead of a computer, try a regular gaming console system for your kids gaming pleasure. Consoles have more privacy controls, as well as security and content settings that are easily bypassed on a computer. Your kids will be more protected when they game on a console.
In order to understand and guide your child's use of video games, you must be involved. Try out the games yourself, watch your kid play, or play the game with them. Ask questions and be interested in what they are doing with their time. Hands-on game play can increase the amount of fun your child has.
Are you struggling to find which console is the best for your needs? You need to consider all the features offered by the console and compare them to your style of gaming. Make sure you research on the Internet. Try reading reviews of systems by other gamers. Figure out all you can when you're thinking of getting a new console for gaming.
Are your kids' games age appropriate? You need to check the rating on the front to make sure it's suitable for your kids. There are many games that actually promote violence; these you may need to steer clear of.
Everyone around the world can enjoy video games today. Within a year, more gamers will arise, and you could be among them. There are a wide range of different genres of video games to choose from, so take heed of the advice contained in this article and start experiencing the join of video gaming for yourself, today!

You don't want to end up with a structurally unsound house full of shoddy home improvement work! This is why it is important to know what you are doing before you try and tackle a home improvement job. Thankfully, this article has all you need to know.
Small rooms tend to be gloomy, but they don't have to be. Try letting in some light. Clean your windows, and open your blinds. Rooms appear much larger and more open with good natural lighting. Be sure to clear up clutter and use light colors on the walls. That tiny room will suddenly seem much more spacious and breathable.
You should dust your entire home once a week. The accumulating dust is a potential allergy hazard that can easily be prevented. Not only does cleaning eliminate dirt and dust, but it reduces the possibility that spiders, fleas, ants or other insects will settle into your home.
Don't forget about safety. Follow the instructions of any power tool you use and ask for advice from the experts at your local home improvement store to reduce your risk of injury all all your projects. You can find help and information about your project by accessing an online tutorial.
Turn off the plumbing if any home improvement projects will take place in the bathroom or kitchen. Before you start working, locate the shutoff when you working around your house's water supply or pipes. This will make sure you don't flood your house.
To seal bugs out while reducing your home heating and cooling expenses, use caulk to completely seal cracks, holes or any other openings that you notice. Simply apply caulk to baseboards, around and inside windows, and any other places. This will not only keep the bugs out but will also take care of any drafts you have in your home.
You should not work with a contractor before finding out more about their reputation. Using a company without an address is not a good idea, since they are likely not reputable and probably too small. Try to get with a company that has a good reputation.
Homes with attractive view have a higher selling price than other homes on the market. There are some instances where the extra expense for a good view might not be worth it. Future home buyers might not be as impressed by the view and might not be interested in paying a higher price for it.
Talk with your neighbor about drainage before you start a major landscaping project. Naturally, you want the water to go away from your yard. However, you should avoid allowing drain off to run into your neighbor's property. It is possible to coordinate mutually beneficial drainage plans, but it cannot happen without clear communication.
If your home is in a dry area that is prone to fires, you should consider buying white or red cedar fences. Cedar wood is well-loved for its durability and distinctive fragrance; it is also rated highly for safety in areas that are potentially threatened by wildfires.
The longevity of your repairs and home can be reduced greatly if you are unaware of what you're doing. This is why this information from this article can help you plan on what you are going to do.

When you brought home your dog you were expecting Lassie, but sometimes it feels like you brought Cujo home instead. You can do just a little training, and you will see that your dog will be a better dog in no time.
When crate training a new puppy or dog, help the dog realize that the crate is its home. Meal times should be given within the crate while the door remains open throughout the meal. Thus, they will associate a good thing like yummy food with the crate.
If you in the crate training phase of your training program, you can use a few techniques to speed it up. A yummy treat can help to entice a hesitant dog into the crate. As soon as they smell the tempting treat, they will want to get into the crate to enjoy it. After your dog goes into the crate, give positive reinforcement to increase the chance that he will go into the crate again.
Looks at it from your dog's point-of-view. When your dog is slow to learn, you may become frustrated. You should never give up on them, try looking at it from your dog's vantage point. Your dog may not understand because it hasn't been said enough.
When you buy a crate, ensure it is the correct size. Don't forget, your puppy will grow. Choose a crate which will be the right size for the dog when he grows up. At full size your dog should be able to move around without feeling too constricted.
It is important to leash-train your dog. This will assure that the two of you are safe when you are out on walks.
Practice patience when you are training your dog. Patience is the best way to keep your dog from becoming confused and for you to remain calm. Remember that your pet desires to please you but he gets confused due to him not understanding what you want him to do.
When training your dog, make sure to have fun with him too. Taking time to play creates a strong bond between the two of you, and your dog will be more likely to respond well to training. Training is fun for your dog, but it doesn't always have to be about learning something new. Play for the sake of playing.
If you are going to be doing any training you need to know how to enforce the rules. With primary reinforcement, you use something that your dog loves when it needs to be rewarded for positive behavior. This may mean giving food items as treats or scratching the dog's tummy. This is how you teach your dog to be good to get what he wants.
When training your dog make sure you always get his attention in the same manner. Start commands with their name all the time. Use his name to get his attention then follow up with a command. Dogs quickly recognize their name which allows you to get their attention.
Many owners are surprised by how basic dog training can be added to their life and just how fast they can see results. Try some of the tips above if you feel a strain on the relationship between you and your dog.

High-Containment Laboratories:
Assessment of the Nation's Need Is Missing
GAO-13-466R: Published: Feb 25, 2013. Publicly Released: Mar 25, 2013.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-2700
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
There is still no one agency or group that knows the nation's need for all U.S. high- containment laboratories, including the research priorities and the capacity, number and location, to address priorities. This deficiency may be more critical today than 3 years ago because current budget constraints make prioritization essential. Since the publication of our report in 2009, the number of high-containment laboratories has increased. Although modern high-containment technologies (for example, high-efficiency particulate air [HEPA] filtration) in conjunction with laboratory design have been effective in reducing the level of risk, there is nevertheless some degree of risk associated with design, construction, operations, and maintenance of high-containment laboratories. This was realized following a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) power failure incident in Atlanta, Georgia, where no biological agent was released but that showed the difficulties in maintaining biological containment, and a leaky pipe incident in Pirbright, United Kingdom, that failed to maintain biological containment. Increasing the number of laboratories also increases the aggregate national risk.
GAO found a continued lack of national standards for the design, construction, commissioning, and operation of high-containment laboratories. These laboratories are expensive to build, operate, and maintain. As we noted in our 2009 report, in the absence of national standards, it is likely that there may be variations resulting from local requirements, but without an underpinning set of standards to ensure safe operations. In the absence of some fundamental criteria, each laboratory can be designed, constructed, and maintained according to local requirements. This will make it difficult to be able to assess and guarantee safety, as we noted in our 2009 report. For example, while investigating a power outage incident in its recently constructed BSL-4 laboratory, the CDC later determined that, some time earlier, a critical grounding cable buried in the ground outside the building had been cut by construction workers digging at an adjacent site. The cutting of the grounding cable, which had hitherto gone unnoticed by CDC facility managers, compromised the electrical system of the facility that housed the BSL-4 laboratory. Given that grounding cables were cut, it is apparent that the building's integrity as it related to adjacent construction was not adequately supervised. CDC officials stated in 2009 that standard procedures under local building codes did not require monitoring of the integrity of the new BSL-4 facility's electrical grounding. This incident highlighted the risks inherent in relying on local building codes to ensure the safety of high-containment laboratories, as there are no building codes and testing procedures specifically for those laboratories.
Why GAO Did This Study
High-containment laboratories, biosafety level (BSL)-3 and BSL-4 laboratories, are used to (1) develop medical and veterinary countermeasures against biological agents and (2) research the risks these agents pose to human health, animal health, the food supply, and the U.S. economy. In 2009 GAO reported on the expansion of these laboratories, which began in the 1990s and accelerated after the 2001 anthrax attack. GAO found that although this expansion was occurring, no single federal agency was responsible for assessing overall laboratory needs. Instead, departments and agencies only assessed laboratory needs that were within the scope of their respective missions. GAO therefore determined that a national strategy for oversight, including periodic assessments of the nation's need for these laboratories, was called for. GAO also found that the absence of national standards for laboratory design, construction, commissioning, operations, and maintenance raised concerns and increased the risk of laboratory accidents.
GAO's 2009 report made two recommendations to the National Security Advisor, located in the Executive Office of the President (EOP), to address these weaknesses. Specifically, GAO recommended that the National Security Advisor identify a single entity, charged with periodic government-wide strategic evaluation of high-containment laboratories, that will (1) determine (a) the number, location, and mission of the laboratories needed to effectively meet national goals to counter biothreats; (b) the existing capacity within the United States; (c) the aggregate risks associated with the laboratories' expansion; and (d) the type of oversight needed and (2) develop, in consultation with the scientific community, national standards for the design, construction, commissioning, and operation of high-containment laboratories, specifically including provisions for long-term maintenance. This report addresses the following questions:
1. What actions have been taken to implement the recommendations made in our 2009 report?
2. To what extent is action still needed concerning (1) an assessment of the nation's need for high-containment laboratories, including their numbers, functions, and research priorities and (2) the development of any national standards for designing, constructing, commissioning, maintaining, and operating high-containment laboratories?
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) ensure that periodic assessments of national biodefense research and development needs are conducted. These assessments would include whether appropriate resources, in particular, high containment laboratories, exist to meet those needs. GAO also recommends that the OSTP examine the need to establish national standards relating to designing, constructing, commissioning, maintaining, and operating high-containment laboratories.
For more information, contact Nancy Kingsbury at (202) 512-2700 or email@example.com.
