The Macromedia daily grind is improving. I have a good work load now and I am finishing projects. However I am working on a number of projects that are very open ended and that makes me edgy. I have this constant feeling that I am slacking off when in fact I am doing what I am supposed to. I just have to take on more tasks without having to be asked first. I will be back in the drivers seat in no time.
dantemw has written 2 entries about this goal
Work has been a real challenge for me lately. This is not becuase the work load is heavy or because I don't have enough time, but because I am lazy. I have spent months doing little more than surfing the web and maintaining the minimum workload required to stay employed. This has to stop now. It is understandable that I have been depressed and less than motivated, but it is time for me to get on the $%#*ing ball and start earing my pay.

WASHINGTON -- The Washington Mystics used a fast start to end their skid.Crystal Langhorne scored 22 points and Noelle Quinn scored a season-high 18 and the Mystics earned a 90-77 win over the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday.Rookie Natalie Novosel added 12 points for the Mystics (3-10), who entered the game averaging the fewest points in the WNBA, but produced their highest scoring total of the season. Washington never trailed en route to snapping a five-game skid, which included a loss at Phoenix 12 days ago.Charde Houston scored 17 of her 26 points in the second half for the Mercury (4-10), matching her career best. DeWanna Bonner and Samantha Prahalis each scored 20.Langhorne scored 11 points and the Mystics finished the first quarter shooting 64.7 percent for a 27-18 lead. It marked the first time all season Washington led after the first quarter."First quarters and third quarters have been our Achilles' heel and the starters did a great job. They got after it defensively, got us a lead," Quinn said. "We didn't have to play from behind, we didn't dig ourselves into a hole. We kept our lead, kept our aggression and just played together.The Mystics scored a season-high 50 first-half points for a 50-41 lead at halftime and extended the lead to 16 in the second half.Part of the Mystics' starting lineup most of the season, Quinn came off the bench against the Mercury, but was front and center throughout."It's a good look for me," Quinn said about the reserve role. "It makes me come in there knowing that I have to be a difference maker."She scored eight consecutive points for Washington in the second quarter, helping to offset Bonner's 18 first-half points.Phoenix pulled with five at 69-64 early in the fourth quarter, but the Mystics quickly countered with a 6-0 run."I just think because it's not done all the time, teams can forget about (Noelle) a little bit," Houston said. "When you forget about her, that's when she kills you. She definitely hurt us tonight."Langhorne added seven points inside the final 4:46 as the Mystics held on for their third home win of the season."When it came time for us to make key stops, we struggled," Houston said.Washington's other victories this season were by a combined four points."Anytime you win it's very calming," Langhorne said. "When you keep losing, it's stressful. To get this win today, it's a good feeling."The short-handed Mercury have lost seven of nine road games this season. Diana Taurasi (hip flexor) has missed 12 of 14 games this season and Candice Dupree (left knee contusion) sat out a fifth straight game.Washington closes its four-game homestand on Friday against San Antonio after Phoenix wraps up its four-game road trip against the Silver Stars on Tuesday.

If you're looking to add a bit of CGI to your movie and don't want to shell out the $3,000-$4,000 for a high-end package, Blender may fit your needs.
Blender is a free, open-source modeling and animation package similar to Maya and 3d Studio Max.
Blender has a reputation for being difficult to learn, but this is largely undeserved. Blender is an old-school application with its own idiosyncratic but ultimately logical windowing system. Just forget everything you think you know about application window management and let the force flow through you.
I've recently been using Blender for Behind The Cow and Roy Murphy Private Eye. I have a background in game development, but I'm not an accomplished 3d artist. In just a few short weeks of evenings, I've managed to produce some fairly impressive results by following online tutorials.
For those interested in learning this application, tutorials abound on the YouTubes. More can be found at these popular Blender sites:
Check it out. You've literally got nothing to lose!

Cowboy Caviar Nachos
This recipe, my lovely friends, is pretty typical me, but yet, special. What is Cowboy Caviar? It's simply black eyed peas, shoepeg corn, petite diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro and diced jalapenos in a red wine or balsamic (based on my mood) vinaigrette. Y'all – It's Southern Black Eyed Pea Salsa. I've made so many picos […]

Jalapeno Crab Hushpuppies
You will love these. Sinful, deep fried little things. They remind me of my childhood days – eating Captain D's addictive hushpuppies and batter fried fish with tons lemon juice and tarter sauce. I haven't had that in years. I think maybe my arteries plead with me anytime I get a craving for it. But, […]

Artists rally for IndyInk's tenth-anniversary party
IndyInk gallery and print-shop will celebrate its tenth anniversary tomorrow, and over fifty local artists will be contributing work for the show that marks the event. This collection of artists represents just a fraction of the many Denverites who owe a debt of gratitude to what IndyInk has done for the city's art community.
Matthew Doubek feels IndyInk are "a bunch of the genuinely nicest folks on Broadway."
We reached out to a handful of these artists via e-mail to ask what IndyInk has meant to them.

"I have shown with IndyInk through the years," Sandi Calistro says, "and am always honored when they ask me. To me, IndyInk is a staple in the Denver art scene. They are always showcasing amazing talent, and they are just all-around good people. I've grown to know and respect many of the artists showing Saturday and am looking forward to showing with them!"
Sandi Calistro has been tattooing the residents of Denver for the last eleven years. A few years after she began inking skin, she branched out to painting, showing in galleries and working on large pieces around the city.

Heretics Guide to Eternity Spencer Burke by Barry Taylor, Jossy Bass, A Wiley Imprint, 2006 San Francisco, CA
In the last few decades we have seen quite a large number of books written on issues dealing with the enlarged perception of the role of Jesus both in history and in his role as the central figure of the Christian faith. It has become increasingly clear that he has been and still is viewed in different and even conflicting ways as New Testament scholars uncover a variety of new documents from the first three centuries that were written by both known and unknown writers.
Along with the growing number of relevant documents is the fact that the "scientific method" has led to a significantly different method of Biblical scholarship, so that all materials and "truth" must now be subjected to the question; "what does the evidence indicate?" Therefore such seemingly eternal and unalterable "truths" as; "Jesus is/was God's only Son" who reigns with him through eternity" now meet the response "what does the evidence indicate?"
One response to this modern approach is the re-examination and alteration of the role of not only the structure of the church, but even of institutional religion in our modern world. Is "religion," as we have known it through the centuries, still a meaningful foundation stone of our modern culture?
Some scholars are led to this question after concluding that Jesus was indeed fully human, one who is no longer a member of a theological Trinity, but the authors Spencer Burke and Barry Taylor never even address the question of a "proper" or "modern" Christology. Instead, as they write on page eleven, "Do I remain personally committed to Jesus and his teachings as found in the Bible? I do."However they clarify what might appear to be a contradiction on page 61; "This is the real scandal of Jesus. His message eradicated the need for religion. It may come as a surprise, but Jesus has never been in the religion business. He's in the business of grace, and grace tells us there is nothing we need to do to find relationship with the divine. The relationship is already there; we only need to nurture it."
This is the central and ongoing idea throughout the book. Bono of U2 fame is quoted in a short sentence that captures their main point; "I don't see Jesus Christ as being in any part of religion. Religion is the Temple after God has left it."
"Nowhere does Jesus call his followers to start a religion. Jesus' invitation to his first disciples was to follow him." And this is what the entire book is about.
A core of this is the rejection of the belief in the inherent sinfulness of humankind, calling for the suffering and death on the cross of God's Son, Jesus. Instead, the authors believe humankind is loved by God from conception and never needs saving from the wrath that would send them to hell. Instead, the real journey of the spiritual traveler is to continually move toward the understanding and experience of that surrounding and saturating Grace that has always been present, though we are often unaware of its existence.
The layout of the book is one that makes it an easy and pleasant read. That's a real plus if we have been plowing through some of the many books with small fonts and scrunched up lines and paragraphs. Numerous pages have insert blocks (…is that the best term? Choose a better one if you have one) that contain salient ideas from the section. These are framed in the "burned edges" frame that is used on the book cover and make for a more "friendly" appearance.
The "audience" that will most appreciate this book are those who are open to a broader and more compassionate view of what the spiritual life can become. If they really "get it", they will experience a sense of freedom from the traditional guilt oriented, finger-pointing and fear based religious faith they have known and experienced.
The religious scholar may feel dissatisfied with the lack of attention paid to the newly revealed and more complex picture of Jesus as presented by such as the Jesus seminar and other foremost Jesus researchers. But the book will be very helpful to anyone who is questioning their understanding of the Christian faith or searching for a new approach but "do not want to throw out the baby with the bath water." After all it is written by two highly educated and informed men who have come a long way in their own respective journeys.

Nonviolent activism
From Conservapedia
The nonviolent activist refuses to meet violence with violence but instead seeks to make those who are violent recognize that he and they share the same humanity. [1]
Nonviolence can take the form of non-cooperation: "Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good."[2]

During this time, you may also enroll or re-enroll in a flexible spending account (FSA)—unless you elect a consumer-directed health plan with a health savings account (CDHP-HSA). You can also enroll or re-enroll in the Dependent Care Assistance Program (DCAP). These are optional pre-tax savings programs available to you.
Medical and dental plan benefits and premiums change yearly. Open enrollment is a good time to evaluate your health insurance plans and decide whether to make a change.
Some life circumstances may be considered a "qualifying life event," which may trigger a Special Open Enrollment opportunity allowing you to make insurance plan changes outside of the fall open enrollment.
If you are satisfied with your current health plan and it will be offered next year, you do not need to do anything and your plan elections will remain the same. However, you must change your plan enrollment if any of the following circumstances apply to you:
Note: Per WAC 182-12-262, you are required to notify the UW of changes in dependent eligibility within 60 days of the date in which your dependent is no longer eligible.
At its July 2014 meeting, the PEBB approved changes to state employees' medical plan monthly premiums and cost-sharing in 2015. All changes take effect January 1, 2015.
More details will become available on PEBB's website www.hca.wa.gov/pebb/ and in PEBB's For Your Benefit newsletter, which will be mailed to PEBB member homes in mid-October. To ensure you receive it, please review your profile in Employee Self Service (ESS) at http://www.uw.edu/ess and make any updates or changes before mid-September.
If you continue to cover a spouse or domestic partner under your PEBB medical coverage for 2015, you must re-attest to the spousal coverage surcharge, even if you do not make any plan changes.
Uniform Medical Plan will:
Group Health will:
View approved 2015 changes to medical plans including Kaiser Permanente.
View approved 2015 monthly medical premiums for all plans.
There are no changes to the PEBB dental plans' benefits next year. The UW continues to cover 100% of dental premiums.
There are no changes to the PEBB life insurance benefits next year. However, employees enrolled in PEBB's optional supplemental life insurance will see an increase in their premiums next year. Look for new premium rates to be posted here in October.
The PEBB Program's LTD insurance carrier, Standard Insurance Company, will eliminate the gap between the end of LTD insurance benefits and beginning of a member's Social Security entitlement date, aligning with the member's Social Security normal retirement age. (Your Social Security normal retirement age is dependent on your date of birth. Check the Social Security website to identify the age that applies to you.) As a result, employees enrolled in optional LTD will see an increase in their premiums next year. Look for new premium rates to be posted here in October.
To qualify for a SmartHealth wellness incentive for 2016, you must meet two requirements in 2015:
Review your current enrollment in one of two ways:
Beginning on the first day of open enrollment, UW employees can use the E-Coverage site to change insurance plans or providers. E-Coverage has the following advantages:
To add or reinstate a dependent who is not currently enrolled on your insurance plan, you must complete and submit the following forms with verification documentation by November 30:
All forms are listed at the Most Requested Forms page.
While you cannot add a dependent online, you can still use one of these online options to review your current coverage:
Whether you are a first-time or returning participant of a PEBB flexible spending account, you must re-enroll each year if you wish to participate. Enroll in FSA.
Whether you are a first-time or returning participant of the Dependent Care Assistance Program, you must re-enroll each year if you wish to participate. Enroll in DCAP.
Disclaimer: The information on this page does not substitute for official plan documents. If there is a conflict between the information on this site and an official plan document, the official plan document will govern. Refer to the Benefits Forms & Publications page.
Plan availability and eligibility may change depending on your employment status and/or actions of the Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA), the agency that purchases and coordinates health insurance benefits for public employees, including employees of the University of Washington, through the Public Employees Benefits Board (PEBB) program.

The researchers implemented their idea by creating a compound lens from a series of four kinoform lenses placed one after the other. Using this setup at NSLS beamline X13B, they showed that the critical angle can be surpassed with hard x-rays, while still focusing like a single lens.
"Without exceeding the critical angle, the refractive lens resolution would be limited to 24 nanometers or more," Ablett said. "Even though in this experiment we just barely exceeded this limit, we've shown that it can be done. This is just the first step."
This is an important step for the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), a state-of-the-art synchrotron facility that will produce x-rays up to 10,000 times brighter than those generated by the current NSLS and could lead to advances such as alternative-energy technologies and new drugs for fighting disease. One of the major goals of the facility is to probe materials and molecules with just one-nanometer resolution - a capability needed to study the intricate mechanisms of chemical and biological systems.

"A scale can essentially only give you a numerical reflection of your relationship with gravity. That's really about it. It cannot measure your brain, your heart, your beauty, your talent, your purpose, your strength, your character, or your love. "
My food intake has really been awful. I'm talking a whole bag of chips or whole box/thing of cookies awful. I keep justifying overeating by thinking it's okay because I've been going to the gym quite a bit.
It's really gotten out of hand. My clothes really aren't fitting well and my stomach is noticeably bigger. And when my stomach is bigger, it makes my chest appear smaller.
Sometimes I wonder what it must be like to not have any soft spots--to be able to sit straight up without a stomach hanging over the waistband. Or to be able to jump without something jiggling.
It must feel awesome.
The guy who normally runs my Monday and Wednesday evening gym classes has been gone all summer. I think he gets back sometime in September.
But the person filling in is incredibly, and terribly, and insanely attractive.
This has been great motivation to get to the gym.
And so my friend, I hear you say that life is s**t
You think that love must always end in pain
You hate the fact you need a man
Someday, you'll need a nurse
Be glad you're well, you fool
It could be worse
You b***h cause you're a sardine in a subway car
And that your life is wasted waiting for the train
You hate that you can't take a cab
Someday, you'll take a hearse
Enjoy the ride, you a**
It could be worse
A man can make about a thousand jokes
So bored of all the dull things that he does
Just read the news, because it's full of folks
Who wish their life was just the way it was
And so my friend, I wish you'd see each day's a gift
You get to dance, so try not to complain
If life's a test and all the world's a stage
Go on, rehearse!
You can't see what's ahead stuck in reverse
At least you're stuck with me
It could be worse
-Banded Birds
I was weighed at my gym yesterday, and I weighed in at 170.
It's really kind of bothering me.
That's definitely the heaviest I've been in quite a few years.
I vividly remember the 180's.
I haven't weighed myself for a few months.
My diet has been better lately.
It's still hit and miss at times, but there has been some overall improvement.
I go to the gym consistently.
I sweat a lot.
Honestly, my clothes fit better than ever.
My shoulders are bigger.
My arms look leaner.
Someone said my legs look bigger, in a good way (I wish they were smaller).
My chest seems bigger, also in a good way.
My stomach seems about the same. (but maybe bigger, in a bad way).
So I'm trying not to freak out too much by the 170.
It's hard.
I keep ruminating about it.
Because it worries me.
I don't want to think about it.
I can't help it.
And then I startthinking about all of the slip-ups I've had.
I start thinking about what I could have done differently.
I start thinking about what I should change.
Which isn't an entirely bad thing.
On the other hand, I've got a lot of good things going for me (see above).
I got body fat measurements yesterday as well, but I'm waiting on the results.
I should stretch more.
Why are mere numbers so powerful and [potentially] bothersome?

Articuno's defense is very good, so a defensive strategy could work well: Ice Beam Toxic Substitute Roost Or, for a more attacking moveset: Ice Beam (or Avalanche so you can EV train in Attack only, not Sp.Atk) U-Turn Steel Wing (covers Rock types, which Articuno has 4x weakness to) Facade or Return answered Jul 14, 2010 by Pokemaster Show 6 previous comments i think ice beam fly ancient power roost commented Jan 11, 2013 by kingrayquaza If only Articuno can learn Earthquake, then he would be able to cover all his weaknesses with awesome power. commented Jul 24, 2013 by DragonColress Rock smash, anyone? commented Aug 14, 2013 by Keldedee if you are going to use steel wing would be ok to use the held item metal coat or would that not be good commented Jan 29 by mr.sir Mine knows ice beam Sheer cold U-Turn Fly :/ sheer cold just for ohko xD commented Oct 13 by PokeBoy100 Please log in or register to add a comment. 4 votes I've just thought I brinjg to attention this moveset: Reflect: Allows Articuno to be better defnsively. Ice Beam: An obvious move choice for an Ice type Pokemon. Toxic: Can't stall without this. Hail: In addition to Toxic damage can be deadly. Ice Beam is being used instead of Blizzard because Blizzard has too low PP to be the only attacking move. answered Sep 6, 2010 by trachy By the way, I think that sheer cold is always banned from tournaments. Or else people just don't ever use it without mind reader, as I always watch the regional/national/world vgc battles. commented Sep 7, 2010 by ohioscyther Please log in or register to add a comment. 2 votes With abomasnow support and dw ability i have found that this is amazing Articuno Ability: Snow cloak Nature: Modest EVs: 252 S. attack, 129 def, 129 S.def Blizzard: With snow warning support KABAM!

First you inflict Toxic poison on them then you use Protect this causes them to lose HP from both Bad poison AND Hail at the same time. Roost heals you and gets rid of your 4x Rock weakness for that turn and there are only a few rock types that with some kind of support or Scarf can out speed you and hit you before you use it(Terrakion, Aerodactyl, Archeops) but even then Stone-edge is pretty inaccurate especially with Snow-cloak. Blizzard is STAB and has 100% acc in Hail or you can use Fly for STAB and stalling at the same time. answered Mar 22, 2012 by Speed freak edited Apr 24, 2012 by Speed freak pretty sweet! commented Nov 1, 2012 by Megajed Please log in or register to add a comment. 2 votes Rain sweeper: Articuno @ Life Orb Trait: Pressure EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) Ice Beam Hurricane Water Pulse Roost answered Nov 23, 2012 by Mewderator Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Articuno @ Leftovers Role: Tank Trait: Pressure EVs: 228 HP / 240 Def / 40 SDef Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) Avalanche Fly Toxic Roost Avalanche and it's negative priority and " If you've been hit it'll do more damage " style really appeals to me.

Water Pulse can hit any foe in a Triple Battle. Air Cutter and Blizzard are STAB that hit multiple foes. answered Jan 22, 2012 by trachy Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Articuno's attack stat isn't the best, so I'd refrain from using physical attacks like aerial ace, fly, etc. Its sp.atk is pretty decent however, so I'd go with this kind of moveset: Articuno@leftovers Nature: Timid(For speed) or Modest (For sp. atk). Moveset: Ice Beam, Roost, Signal Beam/Ancientpower/Water Pulse, Hidden Power (Fire or Dragon) -Roost will help since Articuno is pretty bulky, Ice beam covers several types, one of those three special moves I included could come in handy, but I'd recommend water pulse if you want to get past steel types. Hidden power-fire could work against steel types too, and dragon type isn't super effective against much, but it's only resisted by one type. answered Oct 13, 2012 by bluecotinga Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Articuno Gen V Trait : Pressure EVs : 252 Sp Atk 252 Spd 4 HP Timid Nature :) I use Articuno in a RainDance team soo.. -Mind reader --- To set up for... -Sheer cold --- Mind reader + Sheer cold = 100% 1HitKO!! -Hurricane --- 100% Accuracy with rain. MUCH more damage than fly :P. -Icebeam/Raindance --- Icebeam if you dont have time to set up mind reader, raindance if you need to replenish the rain. This isn't for competitions cause I think sheer cold is banned.. O.o answered Mar 25, 2013 by Mapleflage1 Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes In my opinion there is only one collection of moves for an Articuno. Modest Nature: 252: spa., 100: def, 58: spd, 100: speed Pressure ability Ice Beam: for STAB and because of accuracy and power. Extrasensory: Okay, I'll admit. My Articuno is from my Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness game, but whatever. Good effect, incredible PP, and great power. Water Pulse: Like you weren't expecting this. I said it was from XD: Great power, great PP, good effect, and good for Fire and Rock types, which are her two main weaknesses she'll be facing. (Filler): Mine actually has Air Cutter from Platinum. You could of course go with Ancientpower or something like that, which wouldn't be bad. You could also check her HP and see if that would be useful. I'd recommend a Ground type or a Fighting type, to deal with Steel types and Electric types respectively. answered Apr 18, 2013 by PsynirasMaster Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Articuno @Life Orb Modest nature. 252 Hp, 252 Sp At, 6 Sp def Ice beam Hurricane Roost Agility Ideal lvl 100 Stats: 384 Hp, 236 Def, 317 Sp. At 287 Sp. Def, 206 Spd (We don't care about it's Attack Stat) Articuno's type is good offensively, and while some would want a coverage move, Articuno can manage since Ice/Flying cover each other decently. However, it also has very good defenses, especially Special Defense. Unfortunately, it's base Special Attack is pretty average, and it's too slow to keep up with most other offensive Pokemon. This moveset, however, is an effective solution to this, a bulky speed booster allowing Articuno to max out it's Special Attack and place it at much higher levels, while also letting it take advantage of it's bulk, and finally, resolving it's speed issues. Articuno's defensive typing is also quite poor, but this set can help itself with that; Common users of Rock-Type Moves(Besides the Rock Type itself) are either Fighting or Ground Type, which get nailed by it's STAB. Since Roost negates Flying for a turn, it can negate it's Electric-type weakness with using Agility; this is great with it's special defense, as not even Zapdos can KO Articuno in two hits with Thunderbolt. Finally, a good amount of Fire Types cannot stomach Hurricane; either being too frail, or having a secondary type weak to flying, such as Volcarona. answered Jul 4, 2013 by 97eml1 Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes What? This is a legendary and it's this bad? Bad typing, poor stat distribution, narrow movepool and no niche. If you wanted a decent legendary, don't choose Chesnaught. Articuno@Leftovers/Assault Vest Ability: Pressure Nature: Modest EVs: 248 HP / 252 SAtk / 10 SDef Ice Beam/Blizzard/Freeze-Dry Hurricane HP Electric/Ground Roost/Ancient Power You can also change the EVs to max speed and special attack with a Life Orb but since Articuno's bulk is its specialty and there is no reason to use a fully offensive Articuno as there's a lot of better sweepers. answered Apr 30 by ChewyDonuts Please log in or register to add a comment.

Public Health News Roundup: March 27
Flu Vaccine Reduces Risk of Child's Flu-Related ICU Hospitalization by 74 Percent
Receiving a flu vaccine dramatically reduces a child's risk of flu-related intensive care hospitalization, according to a new study in the Journal of Infectious Diseases. Researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) analyzed the medical records of 216 children age 6 months through 17 years admitted to 21 pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) in the United States during the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 flu seasons, finding that the a flu vaccination reduces the risk of being admitted to a PICU by 74 percent. "These study results underscore the importance of an annual flu vaccination, which can keep your child from ending up in the intensive care unit," said Alicia Fry, MD, a medical officer in CDC's Influenza Division. "It is extremely important that all children—especially children at high risk of flu complications—are protected from what can be a life-threatening illness." Kids younger than 5 and those with chronic medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes or developmental delays are at especially high risk of serious flu complications. Read more on influenza.
CDC Releases Expansive Salmonella Report for Researchers
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released an expansive, first-of-its kind report charting the past four decades of laboratory-confirmed surveillance data on 32 Salmonella serotypes. An Atlas of Salmonella in the United States, 1968-2011, includes data and analysis by age, sex, season and geography down to the county level. The report is available both online and in a downloadable format. Salmonella causes an estimated 1.2 million illnesses, 23,000 hospitalizations and 450 deaths each year in the United States. "We hope these data allow researchers and others to assess what has happened and to think more about how we can reduce Salmonella infections in the future," said Robert Tauxe, MD, deputy director of CDC's Division of Foodborne, Waterborne and Environmental Diseases. "The more we understand Salmonella, the more we can make progress in fighting it all along the farm to table chain." Read more on research.
GlaxoSmithKline Recalling Alli Non-Prescription Weight-Loss Drug Amid Reports of Tampering
GlaxoSmithKline is working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in recalling all supplies of its non-prescription weight-loss drug Alli in the United States and Puerto Rico, after reports that some bottles had been tampered with and may not contain authentic Alli. The drug comes in a turquoise-blue capsule, but the company has received inquiries from consumers in seven U.S. states about bottles containing a range of tablets and capsules of various shapes and colors.

Yesterday, on our way to Santa Rosa, CA, we drove through the Jedidiah Smith Redwoods. The redwood trees are absolutely incredible. They reach for the sky and are very broad around their bases! I wish we had had more time to visit them, but we put in a 13 hour drive and we were extremely fatigued! Today, in Santa Rosa, we took it easy and visited vineyards in Dry Creek Valley. Outdoor Wednesday for July 7, 2010. Happy Birthday, Dad! May you rest in peace!
Deserts and Beyond
Deserts and beyond...places in and around the southern California deserts and beyond. Photo taken at Canyon Lake, in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona, December 2011. A few minutes later, after the sun disappeared, these cliffs were their normal color. They were only golden for a short time and I'm glad we were able to view them in their glory.

The Financial Reporting group within EY focuses a unique depth of financial reporting know-how and commercial acumen on clients' financial reporting needs. Whatever the nature of the financial reporting problem the Financial Reporting group has unmatched expertise.
Both IFRS and UK GAAP present increasingly complicated and often convoluted reporting requirements that do not have intuitive solutions. The effective implementation of such requirements is essential for a business properly to present its results.
The Financial Reporting group has an unrivalled depth of expertise in the most complex reporting matters. These include, for example, pensions; financial instruments; income taxes; foreign currency; PFI contracts; subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures; provisions, disposals; and impairment.
Businesses that are in the process of considering coming to the market, whether on AIM or a full listing, that have not been reporting under IFRS, will have the need to convert their systems to produce IFRS compliant financial reports. The Financial Reporting group can assist clients:
Litigation support: The Financial Reporting group works closely with EY's litigation support department to assist clients who need financial reporting expertise. In pursuing various types of actions, for example: arbitration, or expert determination proceedings following corporate acquisitions and disposals, Financial Reporting group staff have the necessary standing to be effective.
UK, US and IFRS technical issues: Complex technical issues frequently arise in the course of clients' activities. The Financial Reporting group's role is to provide practical interpretations of technical requirements, thereby ensuring that the complex financial reporting environment companies work within is dealt with economically and sensibly.
US listings: The Financial Reporting group provides assistance to clients on US listing matters, for example: simultaneous US and UK listings, large group demergers, and initial public offerings of equity and debt in the United States. The department provides continuous support to clients in US reporting matters, in particular the complex reporting and filing requirements of the SEC, and the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
Publications: The Financial Reporting group aims to provide the best service to EY's clients using its unique blend of technical expertise and practical experience. The Financial Reporting group is responsible for writing International GAAP® 2009 – the new and essential volume of practical guidance and expert interpretation of international financial reporting standards.
Financial Reporting Outlook 2010
EY hosted its annual financial reporting conference in London on Monday, 15 November 2010. This year's event focused on 'Financial reporting – a year of change?' and saw leading experts from the financial reporting community, including standard setters, investors and regulators sharing their views on financial reporting issues and regulatory changes both in Europe and globally.

So ladies, after years of advocating better maternity leave policies, I am taking up a new cause – pet bereavement policies.
My dog died last Monday and showing up for work all week was so hard. I did it, but there's a difference between showing and "showing up."
For many of us, pets are family. They are with us everyday, more than many of the people in our lives. They are loyal and loving and they give us the privilege of caring for them as babies and as old, tired creatures — and every day in between.
But so many humans just don't understand other humans' ability to love an animal. To those people I offer up this example. When a human I cared about died and I was grieving, my dog came and sat with me – silent, patient, concerned. She did not say to me, "I"m not much of a human person but I suppose it could be sad."
And yet when my dog died, several humans told me they weren't really dog people but…. And then they expected business as usual. Who would you prefer by your side while mourning a loss?
At first, I was mostly joking about pet bereavement policies. But then I started doing some research. And maybe animals are a feminist issue. Researchers have found a link between animal abuse and domestic violence. And, then there are the studies on household chores. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Time Use Survey 2009, on an average day, 85 percent of women and 66.6 percent of men do some sort of household activity. Last time I checked, pets require daily care. So who's walking Fido?
Ladies what do you think? Should we add our furry friends to the agenda?

Two of Libya's former armed groups have rejected the government's choice of a new head of the armed forces, Yousef al-Mangoush, which has raised fresh concerns over the security in the country.
In his first international interview, Mangoush told Al Jazeera he understands the challenges he faces in his new role.
The appointment was announced on Tuesday as four fighters were killed in a gun battle between rival armed groups in Tripoli, underlining the interim government's difficulties in controlling the increasingly fractious groups who toppled Muammar Gaddafi.
More than two months after he was captured and killed, real power remains in the hands of the armed groups, who have carved up Libya and its capital into competing fiefdoms, each holding out for the share of power they say they are owed.
Some armed chiefs say they will only cede command of their fighters once an organised military and security apparatus is in place.
Not everyone is convinced with Mangoush's credentials, and convincing the rank and file that he is the man to lead them may be hard. Already brigades from the east of the country have rejected his appointment, preferring someone from their own city to represent them.

BILLINGS - Nate Bailey says he doesn't play much golf anymore. When he does though, he makes it count.
Bailey held off a hard-charging final group Saturday to win the Men's State Am at Briarwood Golf Club, his third straight State Am crown. Bailey shot a -1 71 to finish -9 for the tournament, five shots clear of the field.
The Laurel resident started the day three shots ahead of Libby's Jim Mee, and four clear of West High product Brandon McIver. Bailey however gave his lead up on the 7th hole, triple-bogeying the Par 4 for the second straight day. Mee bogeyed the 8th to fall one back again, but a birdie on the par 5 11th tied things at the top heading into the teeth of the course's back nine.
Bailey birdied the par 4 13th to take a one shot lead once again, and Mee then self-destructed, making three straight bogeys followed by a double bogey at the Par 4 17th after hitting his drive out-of-bounds. After 13, Bailey made five straight pars to end his round, including draining a 25-foot putt on the 18th to clinch the championship.
Mee shot a final round 74 to finish -3 for the tournament, one shot behind McIver, who shot an even par 72 to finish in second place alone at -4. Jerry Pearsall (-2), Reed Platke (-2), and Jake Hedge (-1) were the only other players under par in the four-day event.
Bailey now joins Josh Hedge (2005-07), Kelly Gilligan (1993-95), Mike Grob (1983-85), Gene Cook (1971-73), Ed Zemljak (1961-64), and E.J. Barker (1917-23) as the only three-peat winners in Montana Men's State Am history.
Next year's tournament will be held at Green Meadow Country Club in Helena.

(COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.), May 1, 2014 – The USA Swimming Foundation will host a USA Swimming Foundation "Make a Splash" water safety event during the International Swimming Hall of Fame weekend on June 14th in Fort Lauderdale, FL at the ISHOF Aquatic Complex. The event will feature Olympic Gold Medalists Janet Evans and Jason Lezak, as well as Olympian and Jamaican swimmer Alia Atkinson, who will give swim lessons to children and promote the importance of learning to swim.
"I'm really excited to partner with the International Swimming Hall of Fame on this event to raise awareness of the importance of learn-to-swim and reduce the number of drownings in South Florida," says Executive Director of the USA Swimming Foundation Debbie Hesse. "We are happy to bring in Olympic legends and gold medalists Jason Lezak and Janet Evans to help us share this message."
"The collective goal of all of us involved in aquatics is to prevent tragic drownings that occur all too frequently in south Florida," says Bruce Wigo, CEO of the International Swimming Hall of Fame. "The recent drownings of two sets of 2-year old twins in the greater Fort Lauderdale area demonstrates the importance of drowning prevention education cannot be overemphasized. ISHOF is extremely appreciative that the USA Swimming Foundation and USA Swimming will be bringing their message of the importance of learning to swim and water safety to South Florida."
This year, Chuck, Wielgus, USA Swimming CEO, will be inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame as an Honor Contributor at the 50th Annual Honoree Induction Ceremony on the evening of June 14, 2014 at the Marriott Resort Fort Lauderdale Harbor Beach. Chuck Wielgus has professionalized the administration and brought revolutionary changes to the organization by creating corporate partnership opportunities and media platforms for the athletes who have helped make swimming a tier one International Olympic Sport. He has also defined what it means to be a Champion In Life - while courageously facing the physical and emotional challenges of living with cancer since 2006.
The USA Swimming Foundation's "Make a Splash" initiative is a national, child-focused water safety campaign. Through this initiative, the Foundation seeks to change the startling drowning statistics through three key efforts: save lives by teaching children the lifesaving skill of swimming through its national Make a Splash Local Partner Network, raise national awareness of the importance of learning to swim, and bring together a coalition of partners aligned to end drowning in the U.S. Currently, there are more than 600 Make a Splash local partners throughout the country and more than 2.2 million kids have taken swim lessons through the Make a Splash Local Partner network. The initiative has garnered high-profile media attention from various outlets including The Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, CNN Heroes, The Doctors, ABC World News with Diane Sawyer, and the NBC News award-winning piece "A Swimmer's Mission" with journalist Tamron Hall.

1. I'm still pissed about the AFC Championship when the refs blew Renfro's touchdown call.
2. I think the refs showed Cower too much man love in your last Superbowl and allowed the victory with some rediculous calls. You didn't earn that trophy like you did the other dozen or so.
3. After watching your tackles get embarrassed by the colts, time and time again, I am pumped to see Roth get hit by Mario a few times. The crowd will go nuts seeing that.
4. Cower nominated for Hall of Fame?? Are you kidding? Just a couple of years prior to superbowl, y'all were calling for him to get fired. Highly overrated and coaching record proves it.
5. 17-38 beatdown you gave us three years ago on opening day.
6. Harrison's words about Cushing. Cushing is a silent killer. I think you should be very aware of his presence on the field on Sunday.
7. Our red zone issues are solved this week. It's called, "Arian Foster."
All of these Texans fans are being nice and not talking smack because we have not had anything to talk smack about. But it's time. It's our time. You won't like us much after Sunday....I guarantee it. I've never seen a more overrated Steeler team in years. If you don't keep it close, I think you have the possibility of moving towards the bottom of your division. Cincy and Cleveland aren't that far behind you.
Don't hate....because it's been a long time since a Houston team could stand toe-to-toe with you and look you in the eye. But it's time.....oh boy...is it time.
Texans 38
Steelers 13
You have a lot of arrogance for a team who's looking like they finally may win your division for the first time ever. Please don't come on here and smack the Steelers past successes. Our team knows how to win when it counts. Your team doesn't even know how to make it to games that matter.
Cowher overrated by his coaching record? 149–90–1. Schottenheimer was 200-126-1 and just because he didn't win a SB doesn't mean he's not going to the HOF.
We've won championships. You have yet to be in the playoffs. Quit acting all hard because you know if Peyton were healthy you'd probably lose your division once again

As part of my current role as a tester I am often required to write the same basic expressions again and again in my queries, most noticeably to bring back data for specific date ranges, therefore for the benefit of anyone else out there who has to do likewise I have detailed below my method for returning the following basic ranges:
Daily; Week to date; Month to date; Year to Date; and Rolling year (or Last 12 months). Presently I am working predominantly with Oracle based systems, there for the following is only the PL SQL for the aforementioned ranges.
As good a starting place as any, the query to return data for the day is the basis from which we can build the other expressions;
1 Select a_field
2 from a_table
3 where the_date = to_date('01/01/2006', 'DD/MM/YYYY')
This will return the data in a_field for the 1st January 2006 only, however to make the query more flexible we can replace the exact data with a variable like '&date' which will prompt the user to enter the date at run time.
The format in the second half of the to_date expression is the format that the date must be entered in and also tells the SQL engine what format the date is being entered in, therefore you can set the format however you like, for example 'MM/DD/YYYY' for the US date format.
One final trick before we get into the other ranges is to account for dates outside of the range for which we have data. This may be required for example when the data load into a data warehouse is a day behind the current date (as data loads often run over night up to and including that day's data, therefore in the morning the data is current up to the day before). This method will also be used to account for partial ranges in the subsequent queries; e.g. a partial month or week.
3 where the_date = (case when to_date('&Date', 'DD/MM/YYYY') > trunc(sysdate)-1
4 then trunc(sysdate)-1
5 else to_date('&Date', 'DD/MM/YYYY')
6 end)
The case statement here evaluates the date entered by the user to determine if it is greater than the most recent date for which we have data – in this case the day before today (sysdate is Oracle's command to return the current date). Note that we truncate sysdate because it is a date/time entry, but we are only interested in the date portion.
For week ending we can make use of the default behaviour for subtracting days from a date
3 where the_date between (to_date('&Date', 'DD/MM/YYYY')-6)
4 and (case when to_date('&Date', 'DD/MM/YYYY') > trunc(sysdate)-1
5 then trunc(sysdate)-1
6 else to_date('&Date', 'DD/MM/YYYY')
7 end)
Note that in this example I have used the date function 'between… and', however some people prefer to use a pair of 'where' clauses, as in the example below.
1 where the_date >= (to_date('&Date', 'DD/MM/YYYY')-6)
2 and the_date <= (case when to_date('&Date', 'DD/MM/YYYY') > trunc(sysdate)-1
3 then trunc(sysdate)-1
4 else to_date('&Date', 'DD/MM/YYYY')
5 end)
As far as I am aware, there is no performance difference between the two, more a matter of personal preference. Some people may feel that the where statements give them more control over exactly which dates are included because they can make use of '<, <=, =, >=, >, etc' and may be uncertain of whether 'between… and' is inclusive of the dates or not. I am confident enough to say however that it is inclusive therefore the same amount of control can be attained by varying the date used, e.g. shift it one day higher to emulate '>', etc.
This sql relies on the user entering the week ending date for the week they are interested in, however if you wanted to construct it so that all they had to do was enter a date within the week of interest, you would need to evaluate the date to identify the begining and end of the week. One way this could be done is to use the next_day function to identify for example the next Saturday or Sunday, depending when you define the week as ending. By subtracting 7 from the date then and finding the next Sunday or Monday (depending when you define the week as starting, you would have your week begining date too.
For month ending:
3 where the_date >= to_date('&Date','MM YYYY')
4 and the_date <= (case when last_day(to_date('&Date','MM YYYY')) > trunc(sysdate)-1
5 then trunc(sysdate)-1
6 else last_day(to_date('&Date','MM YYYY'))
7 end)
Notice I have used a different date format here - 'MM YYYY', which allows me to enter the date as just a 'month year' combination, such as 'January 2006'. The to_date function automatically takes this as the first of the month allowing me to use the last_day function to acquire the end of the month. Again the case statement allows data for a partial month to be retrieved.
If you wanted to create a specific month to date query for a particular day in the month such as month to the 15/01/2006 all you need do is change the date format, such as to 'DD/MM/YYYY' in this example.
For the year to date:
3 where the_date >= TRUNC(to_date('&date', 'MM YYYY'), 'YYYY')
The paramater '&date' is entered as a month year combination (e.g. January 2006), but to_date converts it to 'DD/MM/YYYY'. By truncating the date on the year, the date is converted to '01-01-YYYY.'
Once again if you required a year to a specific date then simply apply the appropriate format ('DD/MM/YYYY') to the expression. Alternatively, you may just want to enter the year and rely on the case statement to find the appropriate point for year to date, e.g.:
1 where the_date >= TRUNC(to_date('&date', 'YYYY'), 'YYYY')
2 and the_date <= (case when TRUNC(to_date('&date'+1, 'YYYY'), 'YYYY')-1 > trunc(sysdate)-1
4 else TRUNC(to_date('&date'+1, 'YYYY'), 'YYYY')-1
Last 12 Months
For the last 12 months to date you can utilise any of the date formating options shown above to define the date at which the range runs from and to. In the example I provide below I am interested in the range from the begining of the month to the end of the month 12 months later:
1 Select a_field
2 from a_table
3 where the_date >= add_months(to_date('&date', 'MM YYYY'),-11)
4 and the_date <= (case when last_day(to_date('&date', 'MM YYYY')) > trunc(sysdate)-1
6 else last_day(to_date('&date', 'MM YYYY'))
On occasion I have also had the need for a quarter to date range, but at the moment I can't find an example of this, so I will endeavour to provide this at some point, unless anyone else would like to provide it. Since I am often also required to query against both Oracle systems and SQL server, I aim to at some point provide each of these ranges in T-SQL too. But that's for another blog.

As promised in my original post on PL/SQL date ranges previously, below is a sql statement which can
Recently my colleague challenged me to find a method for identifying the week ending date for the week
How about quarterly report... how should we code it?
This should work for you:
select add_months(trunc(to_date('&date', 'YYYYMMDD'), 'YYYY'),3*(to_char(to_date('&date', 'YYYYMMDD'), 'q')-1))"BEGIN_QUARTER"
, add_months(trunc(to_date('&date', 'YYYYMMDD'), 'YYYY'),3*(to_char(to_date('&date', 'YYYYMMDD'), 'q')))"END_QUARTER"
from dual
What this does is to take the date you enter ('&date') and identify which quarter it is in ("to_char(to_date('&date', 'YYYYMMDD'), 'q')").
This is then used to determine how many months to add onto the beginning of the year. Since a quarter is always 3 months long, this is a multiple of three.
The beginning of the year is found by truncating your date by year ("trunc(to_date('&date', 'YYYYMMDD'), 'YYYY')")
To find the start of the quarter we have to add a multiple of 3 months as stated above based on the quarter in question, so we must subtract 1 from the quarter E.g. if we are in Q1 then we add 0 * 3 months, since the start of the year is the same as the start of the quarter. If we are in Q2 we add 1 * 3 months to get to the start of April (the fourth month), etc.
To find the end of the quarter, I've actually identified the start of the next quarter by adding an extra 3 months (by multiplying the quarter by 3). I prefer to do this as it is easier to calculate and I can simply use '<' in my where clause instead of '<='.
If you want the actual last day of the quarter then you could either subtract one day from this, or add one less month on then use the 'last_day' function to find the last of that month, or find the last day of the start month, then add 2 months on to this. There are several options.
There may be a more compact way to do the above, but I use calculations as that's what I know how to do best and it seems to work. Depending on your performance requirements, hopefully it will work for you too.
I was wondering if you could help me with a SQL query?
I need to retrieve some bonus payment dates between the last 1st of March to today's date. The month of march cannot have a fixed year associated to it as this will be used in a report for a client and has to be updated automatically every year.
Today the report should return payments made since 01 March 07 to today's date but when we'll be in June 08 it should return data between 01 March 08 to today's date...
Would you have an idea on how to do this?
Your help would be very appreciated,,
Many Thanks,
Hi Julie,
just off the top of my head, you could try something like the following:
select case
when sysdate < add_months(trunc(sysdate, 'YYYY'),2)
then add_months(trunc(sysdate, 'YYYY'),-10)
else add_months(trunc(sysdate, 'YYYY'),2)
end BonusStartDate
trunc(sysdate,yyyy) sets the date to January 1st for the current year, and adding 2 months to this gives you March 1st of the current year
Evaluate sysdate compared to this March 1st
If sysdate is < March 1st of the current year then we subtract 10 months to give us March 1st of the previous year
Otherwise we use March 1st of the current year as the start date.
Hope this is what you wanted.
(case when last_day(to_date('&Date','MM YYYY')) > trunc(sysdate)-1
5 then trunc(sysdate)-1
6 else last_day(to_date('&Date','MM YYYY'))
7 end)
I need to fetch the data for last 12 months, each month can have multiple transactions. So the query should return me the monthly total for last 12 months. Can you help me with the query please?
I need to populate a calendar table using pl/sql. The table stores dates on certain parameters such as day, month, week, quarter, fiscal year.
Can you please help me with it.
I need to insert records in a calendar table with fields such as Calendar_date,day_of_month,week_day_name, week_day_short_name, week_key,week_of_month_number, week_of_year_number, month_key, month_name, month_short_name, month_of_qtr_number, month_of_year_number, quarter_key, qtr_of_year_number, month_of_year_number, quarter_key,qtr_of_year_number, year_key
Please help me with the query/stored proc.
1. select a_field
from a_table
where a_d_key='&a_d_key';
One error will generat. a_d_key doesn't match with '&a_d_key'...
2. How to apply it in Fiscal year?
For example, how to calculate late fiscal year revenue from the day of the last year...
Much thanks
Thanks! I find this very helpful
It looks good,I have learn a recruit!
Recently,I found an excellent online store, the XX are completely various, good quality and cheap price,it's worth buying! http://www.alliask.net/
Hi There.. saw your post and it seems you will be able to help me.. I have a big problem that i badly need help. I need to get the 24 months sales depending on the input date Example: March 2010 so i have to get the 24 months from the input date backwards.
Thanks hope I can get a feedback from you.

Wi-Fi is the name of a popular wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to provide wireless high-speed Internet and network connections. A common misconception is that the term Wi-Fi is short for "wireless fidelity," however this is not the case. Wi-Fi is simply a trademarked phrase that means IEEE 802.11x.
The Wi-Fi Alliance
The Wi-Fi Alliance, the organization that owns the Wi-Fi registered trademark term specifically defines Wi-Fi as any "wireless local area network (WLAN) products that are based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) 802.11 standards."
Initially, Wi-Fi was used in place of only the 2.4GHz 802.11b standard, however the Wi-Fi Alliance has expanded the generic use of the Wi-Fi term to include any type of network or WLAN product based on any of the 802.11 standards, including 802.11b, 802.11a, dual-band, and so on, in an attempt to stop confusion about wireless LAN interoperability.
How Wi-Fi Works
Wi-Fi works with no physical wired connection between sender and receiver by using radio frequency (RF) technology, a frequency within the electromagnetic spectrum associated with radio wave propagation. When an RF current is supplied to an antenna, an electromagnetic field is created that then is able to propagate through space.
The cornerstone of any wireless network is an access point (AP). The primary job of an access point is to broadcast a wireless signal that computers can detect and "tune" into. In order to connect to an access point and join a wireless network, computers and devices must be equipped with wireless network adapters (See "How Wireless Networks Work" in the "Did You Know..." section of Webopedia).
Wi-Fi Support
Wi-Fi is supported by many applications and devices including video game consoles, home networks, PDAs, mobile phones, major operating systems, and other types of consumer electronics. Any products that are tested and approved as "Wi-Fi Certified" (a registered trademark) by the Wi-Fi Alliance are certified as interoperable with each other, even if they are from different manufacturers. For example, a user with a Wi-Fi Certified product can use any brand of access point with any other brand of client hardware that also is also "Wi-Fi Certified". Products that pass this certification are required to carry an identifying seal on their packaging that states "Wi-Fi Certified" and indicates the radio frequency band used (2.5GHz for 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11n, and 5GHz for 802.11a).
