Michael Russo has covered the National Hockey League since 1995. He has covered the Minnesota Wild for the Star Tribune since 2005, after 10 years of covering the Florida Panthers for the Sun-Sentinel. He uses "Russo's Rants" to feed a wide-ranging hockey-centric discussion with readers, and can be heard weekly on KFAN (100.3 FM) radio and seen weekly on Fox Sports North.
Also find Russo on Facebook.
Email Michael to talk about hockey.
The day after a hard-fought overtime victory over Nashville, the Wild held an optional skate before packing up and heading to the airport. About half the team participated, including some notables like Dany Heatley, Tom Gilbert, Cal Clutterbuck, Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Mikael Granlund.
Coach Mike Yeo said he would go with the same lineup in Calgary that won Saturday, which means Charlie Coyle will skate in the first line with Mikko Koivu and Zach Parise, Heatley will be on the second line and Bouchard will again start on the fourth line with Zenon Konopka and Mike Rupp.
I'll be doing a story on Bouchard for tomorrow. He talked about the tough stretch he's going through and how he's struggling to regain his confidence. Yeo said Bouchard had a good game against Nashville, but said he still sees Bouchard gripping the stick a bit.
In other items:
--Yeo was encouraged by the game Granlund had Saturday. "Actually, I think he's played two really good games in a row for me," Yeo said. "There are going to be moments. He's still learning the game. So there will be moments when he has to learn how to defend or how to battle in certain situations. But he is learning, he is improving. And the kid makes plays every game."
--Yeo praised the play of the defensemen Saturday, but said there is room for improvement when it comes to getting the first key pass out of the defensive zone.
--Defenseman Jared Spurgeon, who hasn't played since Jan. 22, is close to returning from a sore foot. Spurgeon skated Sunday, and is on the trip. Yeo said there was a remote possibility Spurgeon could play in Calgary, a better chance that he makes his return in Vancouver.
That's about all for now. Russo will cover the Calgary game.

Common Questions and Answers about Coughing mucus children
Try taking an allergy medicine for a week and see if that helps. It doesn't sound like you have any

Hi, an important aspect about pertussis or whooping cough is vaccination. The best way to prevent pertussis is to get vaccinated. There are vaccines for infants, children, preteens, teens and adults. Researchers agree that refusal to vaccinate children against whooping cough might have played a role in the 2010 pertussis outbreak in California. The whooping cough vaccination is now recommended for all pregnant women between 28 and 38 weeks pregnant. Regards.

For those who have had
how long after you lost your
plug did you go into labor? I lost mine this morning I'm only 33 weeks. I'm a ftm and a bit nervous. I'm not cramping/contracting but had a restless night and have felt round ligament pain for the past two days.

My son was diagnosed with asthma when he was 3 months old, since then he has been having problems with excessive
to the point where he vomits in excess. I want to help him but the doctors that he is seeing only seem to sedate him. He is in school now and needs some medications that won't make him so tired. We have tried a number of different types of medicine but most of them give him headaches. Are there any medicines on the market that are good to stop the coughing and vomitting?

My throat is killing me, my head hurts, and I can't stop

Although I had been through a procedure called FESS in 2001, which drained my thick heavy mucus from head. Afterwards, it's not deposited but draining. What I feel that before this recent
, the
was bit thicker and was draining to my stomach; but since last two months it becomes thin mucus (a little thick like saliva) and draining into my lungs. Due to that I have been suffering from acute coughing, which has now become chronic.

at times, I have had some small amounts of stringy
(sometimes like egg whites). Tonight, I had a very small clump in my underwear, tinged slight yellow. Can coughing cause preterm labor or dislodge the mucus plug? I have had three children, all full-term, no problems with preterm labor. I think that I have had this mucus mixed with leukorrhea much of the pregnancy but can't remember! Could it be just the increased mucus production (like in my sinuses too)?

I thought they already had a formula of Zyrtec for kids? My boys started zyrtec when they were 6 mos old. It was a liquid. Ds had to stop the zyrtec after a while b/c it made his eczema flair as it dried him out way to much. DDAVP is desmopressin acetate sometimes it's rx'd for bedwetting or nose bleeds. Ds had his rx'd for both. He started his shots this past Nov. and he turned 9 that Sept.

but spend anywhere between 2-8 hours
at night.. it is not a dry cough, in fact he seems to be bringing up a lot of mucus.. people have described it as an old mans cough and I would agree. it all started when he has a severe throat and chest infection... which cleared up with antibiotics, but the cough stayed.. this was 6 MONTHS AGO.. and he has not had one night since where he hasnt coughed. I have taken him to the doctors more times then i can remember..

He was blowing
out his nose and mouth. Many times the
vomit up all their food and can't gain any weight, which is when they become dehydrated and end up hospitalized. It's very dangerous for young children, which is why we have vaccines for this. Not sure where your son is in his DPT sequence. If you'd ever see a movie of a child with this, believe me, you wouldn't even think about not having your child vaccinated.

But the mucus mixed with dust and bacteria don't always come down to your throat for you to cough it out, it accumulates and stays in there that is why your body continue to produce
to protect you. That
will come down to your throat night after night. Its good to rinse once you get home. And you should blow it out. My son didn't want me to rinse his nose, I had to shown him all the scary pictures on the web about nose infection then he let me do it for him.

Both my

until he turns blue and then vomiting nearly every time mainly mucus,now my 4yr old daughter with chronic asthma has it just as bad. I have taken them to the dr,in which he prescribed albuterol and rondec as well as steamy showers,but nothing seems to be working for them. It's breaking my heart to see them suffering so much. he has had it for almost 2 weeks and her a week.

At least 3 times each night we both wake up (alternating times) not being able to breath, choking and gasping for air. We do produce some clear sticky

I get a sore throat (not tonsils but when you swallow) I now go straight on antibiotics and use Bricanyl inhaler although it doesnt seem to have much effect except to cause alot of

and if I cannot control this to 3 or 4 coughs my windpipe closes over making it hard to breath in or out. The last one about 2 years ago stopped me breathing in and out completely for 10 to 15 seconds and I thought I had bought it.

I have never smoked and don't drink any coffee. I also found that

I had also started using Neti Pot for clearing my sinuses. And also started drinking Apple Cidar Vinegar. This all has helped a bit with the mucus problem. I don't think it is acid refux as I never have heartburn.

Eleven-year-old Harper Gruzins practiced "The Star-Spangled Banner" for weeks, but spectators showed little appreciation when she performed it Saturday at a Major League Soccer game in Dallas.
About 22,000 fans inside the stadium offered some polite applause, and a few boos, but the reaction online has been swift and harsh.
The blog Deadspin called it "the worst national anthem rendition ever," and people on Twitter weren't any kinder. Some Tweets characterized her performance as "tragic," while another said it was worse than that of Roseanne Barr's, who sang the anthem off-key at a baseball game in 1990, then grabbed her crotch and spat.
Viewers of a video of Harper's performance will notice that she appeared to slow the tempo of the song, injected many vocal flourishes and had less-than-perfect pitch.
She acknowledges that it "wasn't my best performance," but told ABC News' Ryan Owens in an interview that the sound of some fans' horns threw her off-key.
"I started to sing and was like, 'That's the wrong key.' Once you start the national anthem, you don't want to start over and humiliate yourself," she said.
Her parents rushed to her defense.
"Things people are saying are really heartbreaking. And just mean. Spiteful and mean," her mother, Kelli Gruzins, said.
Her father, Karlis Gruzins, said the reaction has been hard to handle.
"What I feel like doing is just unplug her, take her out of everything and just protect her. Hide her. Keep her from people hurting her," he said.
Other far more famous singers have also taken heat for botching the national anthem, which is famously hard to sing.
In January, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler endured countless jabs after screaming the song before an NFL game.
In July, country music singer Luke Bryan apologized for reading the words to the anthem off his hand while singing at the Major League Baseball All-Star game.
Christina Aguilera flubbed her rendition of the anthem at the Super Bowl earlier this year. She hit all the right notes, but mangled the lyrics.
In 2009, pop singer Jesse McCartney skipped multiple verses of the anthem while performing at a NASCAR event in California.
Like Bryan, singer Michael Bolton broke from his overly passionate performance of the anthem to look at crib notes scrawled on his hand at Boston's Fenway Park in 2003.
And singer Macy Gray was booed and ridiculed for her tentative, offbeat rendition of the national anthem at the Pro Football Hall of Fame exhibition game in 2001.

MY Announces Preliminary Results For First Quarter Of 2012
ZHONGSHAN, China, May 25, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Ming Yang Wind Power Group Limited (" Ming Yang" or the "Company") (NYSE: MY), a leading wind turbine manufacturer in China, today announced its preliminary unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Preliminary First Quarter of 2012 Selected Unaudited Financial Results
The Company's financial statements for the first quarter of 2012 have not been finalized and are subject to completion of its normal period-end closing procedures. Therefore, the preliminary selected unaudited financial data set forth below may be subject to adjustment and the actual results could differ materially from the preliminary results provided below.
Revenue for the first quarter of 2012 is expected to be between RMB400.0 million ( US$63.5 million) and RMB410.0 million ( US$65.1 million), a decline of approximately 70% year-over-year due to delays in the installation and commission of its wind turbine generators on a number of wind farm projects, caused in part by adverse weather conditions, and a slowdown of overall market demand in China. Gross margin in the first quarter of 2012 is expected to be approximately 10%.As a result, the Company expects to incur a total comprehensive loss for the first quarter of 2012 between RMB110.0 million ( US$17.5 million) and RMB120.0 million ( US$19.1 million). The Company is continuing to review its first quarter results and plans to announce its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2012 on June 1, 2012. The earnings press release will be available on the Investor Relations page of the Company's website at http://ir.mywind.com.cn.

Love Thyself
Despite the fact that we're nearly 15 years into a new millennium, when it comes to masturbation we seem to still be in the Dark Ages.
Many women I counsel about sex feel and believe that masturbation is only for men, or people without a sex partner. This couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, research about self-pleasuring habits has revealed that men and women in couples are more likely to masturbate than single people. So why the blushing and nervous giggles whenever someone mentions it? Because few people find it easy to talk about ANY kind of sex and this is what causes the red-face and reticence when conversation turns to sex on our own steam.
Masturbation is a powerful tool for happiness and gaining traction on a positive body image, especially for women. Touching ourselves gives us lots of information about what we like, what we don't like, how powerful our bodies really are, and ideas about how to expand sexual pleasure – on our own or with a partner. And, what about vibrators; no discussion about women self-pleasuring would be complete if I didn't mention them. Here's the most important thing to know; they're great, and don't worry about becoming dependent on them – no one ends up in vibrator rehab. Lastly, if you're a woman who is worried that your man will feel displaced by or jealous of your favorite toy, then you best make an appointment with me. Vibrators are tools of enhancement – not tools of substitution. There's no such thing as a "substitute" for your real partner – really. Vibrators can expand our choices, add to our pleasure, and be especially helpful to post-menopausal women and those on anti-depressants. In both those cases, having an orgasm can be more difficult due to a reduction in circulating estrogen and testosterone. What we lack in hormones we can compensate for with more horsepower.
Women and their male and female partners alike need to rethink the value of self-pleasuring – for many reasons. Whether in a relationship or not, masturbation is a normal and healthy aspect of sexual expression. The benefits are many and the pleasures? Well, see for yourself.

A couple of weeks ago when footage emerged of Terrence Malick shooting his new mysterious project with Christian Bale, devoted followers of the director were blown away to see current actual video of the notoriously private man working on a very public movie set.

And More From The Cast & Filmmaker Of The Apocalyptic DramaLady luck is currently showing Arkansas filmmaker Jeff Nichols her pearly whites. Though his strong debut feature "Shotgun Stories" took years to complete and be unleashed into the world, his sophomore effort "Take Shelter" was picked up by Sony Pictures Classics before they even saw a cut. In addition to that, its two principal players, Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain, are having a banner year and are quickly rising to household name-status. To top it all off, the filmmaker is already lensing his next feature, "Mud," in addition to writing yet another movie. Needless to say, Nic...Read More »

Up-And-Coming Actress Will Play One Of Two Female Leads In Now Untitled Sci-Fi FlickOn the last episode of Wheel of Shortlist Casting Future, five actresses were vying for the two lead roles opposite Tom Cruise in Joseph Kosinki's untitled sci-fi picture formerly known as "Oblivion" and "Horizons." ...Read More »
Just recently when discussing composer Mychael Danna's excellent score for the humanist sports drama, "Moneyball," we lamented the fact that writing about soundtracks isn't always easy, as often they're not the sexiest topic in the world.

When did Alfredo James Pacino, Greatest Actor Of His Generation, turn into Shouty Al, Star Of "Righteous Kill" And "Jack and Jill"? The exact moment that the transformation took place is debatable, but it's hard to deny that, aside from some occasional good HBO work, Pacino has become a grotesque, bellowing inflation of former glories more often than not. But we live in hope that it's not a one way street, and that the star may find his way back to subtler movie work that he actually cares about. After all, he does, unlike many of his contemporaries, continue to return to the stage frequently, for much-praised performances, in the likes of "O...Read More »
We imagine if you're a reader of this site you've probably already seen Terrence Malick's spiritual and experimental family drama, "The Tree Of Life," starring Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and on-the-rise newcomer Jessica Chastain -- who is practically invading theaters this year with appearances in "The H...Read More »
Film Now Titled 'Horizon'Throughout all the negative PR of the last few years, Tom Cruise remains undeterred, awesomely acting as if he is still Hollywood's biggest star. After the somewhat-dicey "Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol" this holiday season, he's got a no-fail supporting role in "Rock Of Ages" followed by crime picture "One Shot" arriving in 2013, a pretty decent slate for a guy some audiences still consider toxic. After that, Cruise is going big, returning to the genre that served him well in "War Of The Worlds" and "Vanilla Sky" with Joseph Kosinki's "Horizon," formerly titled "Oblivion," and its currently casting two lovely ...Read More »
The most surprising pick in the line-up of the Venice Film Festival was undoubtedly "Texas Killing Fields."

It feels like Jessica Chastain is a name that we've been hearing about for years now, without much evidence to go by in terms of released movies. But now that we've seen her in a leading role in Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life," we understand why she's such a hot property: she's a terrific, luminous actress. And 2011 will continue to be a massive year for her, as she has another seven films on the way: playing the young Helen Mirren in "The Debt"; starring in the acclaimed Sundance drama "Take Shelter"; popping up Ralph Fiennes' "Coriolanus," teaming with Al Pacino in "Wilde Salome," featuring alongside Emma Stone in "The Help," taking a ...Read More »


text: When you ask your child what they want for lunch, and they say grilled cheese, you are probably thinking that is not the healthiest choice right. If you are, you need to change your thoughts. Grilled cheese is excellent for young children to have for lunch as a sandwich because it contains the nutrients a child needs to help maintain and grow strong healthy bones and teeth. Not only that it keeps their tummies full because you are giving them protein, which is essential for energy and building lean strong healthy muscles. The nutrients in cheese and bread alone help keep the nervous system and brain healthy so it can develop properly. However, whole grain and organic cheese are always best ingredients to use for making a grilled cheese sandwich. After all, you do not want to be feeding your children preservatives, artificial growth hormones, dyes and other unnatural ingredients. When a grilled cheese sandwich is made from purely organic ingredients, it is one of the healthiest options to give your children to eat at lunchtime. Along with some veggie sticks and slices of fruit too as well. After all, a well-balanced meal included fruits, vegetables, protein and grains. Remember your child is growing and needs all the nutrients they can possibly get. So, the next time your child wants a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch, grill one up using organic whole foods and you can know for sure your child is eating a healthy sandwich that will nourish his belly, bones, and brain. How to Make a Grilled Cheese Sandwich To make a grilled cheese sandwich you will need some soften organic raw butter, organic American cheese and organic whole grain bread. If your child likes tomatoes, why not sneak a slice of that into the sandwich as well to help give they a dose of fruits too. You will also need a heated up skillet pan and a spatula for flipping. To make the grilled cheese sandwich take two slices of bread and coat one side of them with butter. Then, place the cheese between the slices of bread on the sides without the butter on them. Place the sandwich butter side down in the pan and grill it up into a nice golden toasty color. Then flip and repeat until the other side is golden brown and crispy too. Once both sides are golden brown the cheese in the middle should be melted. After, you will have a tasty grilled cheese sandwich to serve up to your little one, but don't forget serving up some veggie stick and slices of fruit along the side of it too. Oh, and do not forget to make yourself a sandwich too. After all, parents get hungry to and need nourishing. Nutrients in Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Vitamins, A, D, E and B12 Minerals such as Selenium, Phosphorus, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Potassium, Sodium and Iron Carbohydrates for Energy Protein for Energy and Strong Healthy Muscles and a Full Tummy Healthy Fats Fiber for a Healthy Tummy

Not A Record, But Audubon Set Still Sells For A Tidy $7.9 Million
By Mark Memmott
We wouldn't want to say that $7,922,500 isn't an awful lot to pay for one set of four books.
But we do have to point out that it's not a record.
Thursday, we previewed the Christie's New York auction of a rare set of John James Audubon's Birds of America. As we reported, there was talk that it might fetch more than the record $11.5 million paid for another full set of the books in 2010.
Alas, Christie's says, the "hammer price" paid by an American collector was within the "expected" range of $7 million to $10 million — but not near the premium price paid two years ago.

Duke Nukem 3D is heading to Vita
Devolver Digital has been on a roll lately, especially when it comes to paving the way for the PlayStation Vita. Well it seems as if they have more Vita goodness lined up, as Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition is coming to Sony's portable.
This port will be done by the same folks who handled the Hotline Miami Vita version, which is great news given the bang-up job they did. Duke Nukem 3D is one of my favorite FPS games of all time, so even if it hasn't aged well, playing it on the go with a sexy OLED screen is a huge plus for me.

Jan. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Occidental Petroleum Corp., the largest onshore crude producer in the continental U.S., said fourth-quarter profit rose on higher oil prices and increased output from new drilling in California, Texas and North Dakota.
Net income climbed to $1.63 billion, or $2.02 a share, from $1.21 billion, or $1.47, a year earlier, Los Angeles-based Occidental said in a statement on Business Wire today. Per-share profit excluding asset impairments and tax benefits was $2.01, more than the $1.96 average of 19 analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Chief Executive Officer Stephen I. Chazen, who took over in May, has said the company's U.S. crude production will grow by as much as 48,000 barrels a day in 2012, much of it in California. Occidental owns about 870,000 acres of land in the Monterey Shale, which holds more than 15 billion barrels of oil, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
"The outlook for the California play is really the company-maker in the eyes of all the investors that we're talking to," Fadel Gheit, an analyst at Oppenheimer & Co. LLC in New York, said in a telephone interview before earnings were released. "The only upside potential going forward is the results of drilling in California."
Oil futures traded in New York jumped 10.3 percent to average $94.06 a barrel during the last three months of the year on speculation that the U.S. economy will continue to recover and sanctions in Iran could cut off the flow of oil from the world's fourth-largest crude-producing country. Prices for West Texas Intermediate Crude, the U.S. benchmark, traded at an average of $85.24 a year earlier.
The earnings were announced before regular trading began on U.S. markets. Occidental fell 1.1 percent to $100.92 yesterday in New York. The stock, which has 18 buy ratings and five holds from analysts, rose 5.9 percent in the past 12 months.
(Occidental scheduled an earnings conference call at 11:30 a.m. New York time, accessible at EVTS <GO>.)

We sample the first two hours of Piranha Bytes' RPG.
With all the talk of pirates, seafaring and thieving monkeys, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Risen 2 is a very different entity to the criminally underrated original. Thankfully our first hands-on with a near-final build of the game indicated that those worries were completely unfounded. This RPG leopard hasn't changed its hardcore spots, but what Piranha Bytes has done is apply a lot more polish to the tertiary aspects of their well-crafted experience. You can still talk to every NPC you meet and tackle the story-based campaign in any manner you wish, but on top of those systems is a layer of polish rarely seen in a Piranha Bytes release, in the guise of genuinely funny writing, better performed voiceacting and interesting combat.
We began the game right from the beginning with players once again assuming the role of the nameless protagonist from the original, who has joined up with the Inquisition to help deal with pirates and the recently unleashed Kraken menace. Rather than sticking with the relentlessly stuffy faction, the player character teams up again with the ever-loveable Patty in order to infiltrate one of the many pirate factions clogging up Risen 2's recreation of the Caribbean during the 17th Century – it's like Monkey Island only with indigenous slaves and lots of F-bombs.
From there we were transported to the isle of Tacarigua where we were greeted with an environment that was significantly smaller than the original's lone island of Faranga, but it was still tinged with factional tensions and needlessly angry wildlife which were ready to attack at a moment's notice. Most notably though, Risen 2 isn't tinged with the mellow-drama of the original. From what we played it's actually a thoroughly funny experience with memorable characters like a hard of hearing gunsmith, flirty prostitutes and a trash-talking prisoner, who even though his only possession is a pair of crusty boxers, still has enough time to trade insults with the main character.
The pirate theme has undoubtedly given Piranha Bytes license to create a more colourful story-driven experience and there are some really great quests to be enjoyed as a result. One activity had us negotiating a truce between the entrenched pirate masses and a hoity-toity governor who demanded compensation for a bunch of recently stolen sugar, where we could make a tidy profit sorting out reparations and after that we were paying off a prostitute to 'distract' a guard so our wannabe pirates could steal another vagabond's bounty.
The quality of these quests is really encouraging, especially as you can often solve them in multiple ways, be it pressuring NPCs with violence, buttering them up or avoiding conflict by sneaking around. We spent most of our time walking around the island and sampling the story, so there wasn't much time to sample the improved combat, but we did notice more options than before with firearms complimenting the existing melee weaponry, in addition to dramatic buffers and counter buffers such as throwing dust into an enemy's face to blind them while you attack. All our time was spent with only the most vanilla combative options available (slash attacks). More abilities were unlockable via trainers scattered around the map, but progression was pricey.
All of the brilliant yet ultimately needless interactions you could execute in the original Risen are still here, but now they're supported by better production values, a more enjoyable atmosphere and most surprisingly of all, a great moment-to-moment story. We'll find out more when the final review build comes in, but the first impression Risen 2 makes is extremely promising.

UTCS AI Colloquia - Trevor Darrell, Professor, University of California, Berkeley, "Visual Learning for Real-World Interaction" ACE 2.402
Signup Schedule: http://apps.cs.utexas.edu/talkschedules/cgi/list_events.cgi
Talk Audience: UTCS Faculty, Grads, Undergrads, Other Interested Parties
Host: Ray Mooney and Kristen Grauman
Talk Abstract: Contemporary vision research focuses on recognition challenges and data derived from media available on the Internet. While the large-scale datasets this has enabled have led to great progress, methods tuned to these challenges can surprisingly underperform on many real-world problems, and miss opportunities afforded by situated sensing strategies. In this talk I'll present recent results which leverage environment and domain constraints for large-scale recognition: I'll review new methods for domain adaptation, schemes for learning for complex fine-grained categories from limited training data using pose-normalized descriptors, and techniques for learning calibrated photometric models from unstructured image sets.
Speaker Bio: Prof. Trevor Darrell's group is co-located at the University of California, Berkeley, and the UCB-affiliated International Computer Science Institute (ICSI), also located in Berkeley, CA. Prof. Darrell is on the faculty of the CS Division of the EECS Department at UCB and is the vision group lead at ICSI.. Darrell's group develops algorithms to enable multimodal conversation with robots and mobile devices, and methods for object and activity recognition on such platforms. His interests include computer vision, machine learning, computer graphics, and perception-based human computer interfaces. Prof. Darrell was previously on the faculty of the MIT EECS department from 1999-2008, where he directed the Vision Interface Group. He was a member of the research staff at Interval Research Corporation from 1996-1999, and received the S.M., and PhD. degrees from MIT in 1992 and 1996, respectively. He obtained the B.S.E. degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1988, having started his career in computer vision as an undergraduate researcher in Ruzena Bajcsy's GRASP lab.

I believe it's a limitiation of Access.
If you require this functionality I think you're looking at SQL etc...
We have developed an access database which teachers can use to input pupil results etc etc...
The database is stored on a share on the server and there is a short cut on the teachers desktop.
Now we want more then one teacher to be able to access the database at any given time, but then they go to access it, it says that the file is open and that the database will be read only.
Now i dont know if this is a setting in access or if it can be changed at the server to allow more then one person to open the database
I believe it's a limitiation of Access.
If you require this functionality I think you're looking at SQL etc...
I'm fairly certain you can share an Access database to allow more than one person access to it at a time - though it's quite a while (years even) since I've done it. Have a look through the help files for share or shared or similar. I must agree with... what was your name again? ( ) ... SQL or even MySQL might be better suited to a 'proper' application.
It's the responisbility of the application to look after the locking of the jet database so no data loss occurs.
Conversly, with Postgres/MySQL/etc the database server will look after the locking for you.
It should be fairly trivial to setup your application to use ODBC to connect to an external database server of your choice. However any existing data will have to be manually transfered. IIRC access does not export to any sane formats.
OpenOffice/StarOffice Base does IIRCOriginally Posted by Geoff
Dunno what version of Access you have but 2003 is in Shared mode my default
To check goto Tools -> Options -> Advanced then look for Default Open Mode and ensure its set to Shared.
Dump the database in a shared folder.
In theory, many users can open an Access DB as long as it is in shared mode. Having said that, the proper way to do this if you have to use Access is to split the DB into front and back ends. The back end database will contain the tables whilst the front end would contain all the queries, forms and reports. The front end DB contains links to the tables in the back end DB. Front end DBs can be loaded onto PCs and work more quickly. There used to be a wizard which would do all this automatically.

"They want me to what?"
Nocturne narrowed his eyes at the summoner in front of him. Even stripped of his arm blades, he could still think of a hundred ways to kill this idiot.
"We want you to open an ask-column..."
The man attempted to explain, his voice faltering.
"Your popularity as a champion is slipping, see, and the higher-ups think this will put you back in the limelight..."
Nocturne was dumbfounded. they wanted a murderous nightmare incarnate to start answering fanmail?
If you insist...
The shade began.
But I swear to the unholy powers that fuel me; by the time this is over, somebody is getting stabbed.
Emperor Titus
Breakfast of champions?
((Yea...does Nocturne even eat at all?))
Heil Teemo
"Hey baby, what's sh--"
Evelynn tilts her head, trying to find some part of Nocturne that was physically appealing.
Mentally wasn't much of a concern for her.
"Um... you know what? Never mind."
Ask the Defender
Do you give hugs?
Jayce is disturbed by Nocturne's hug, and then pushes him back.
Umm... what?

Stanley Kubrick believed that casting was 80 percent responsible for the failure or success of a film. Put the right actor—not necessarily the best actor—in the right role, and everything has a way of falling into place. The Judge is a father-son courtroom drama featuring a Jaded Lawyer and an Ornery Coot, and it would be difficult to imagine better choices than Robert Downey Jr., who produced the film with his wife, and Robert Duvall.
Downey, in his first real drama since 2009's The Soloist, "plays the closest thing to a real human being he's tackled in ages," writes EW's critic Chris Nashawaty. "As hotshot Chicago attorney Hank Palmer, Downey is his usual onscreen type—the whip-smart wiseass who's cynical and selfish… until he's not."
Hank is called home for his mother's funeral, and forced to revisit the scarred relationship he had with his irascible father, an esteemed judge who then finds himself on the wrong end of a murder trial. With his father facing a guilty verdict, Hank insists on leading his legal defense, even as the two men re-fight the battles that have kept them apart for 20 years.
His relationship with the Judge isn't the only one that Hank has to rebuild. Vera Farmiga plays an old hometown girlfriend that he left behind, and Vincent D'Onofrio and Jeremy Strong play his two brothers.

Rate your nurse? Check out this can of worms...
- 0Jun 16, '13 by CloudySue
Does this bother anyone else but me? Just the headline invites parents to sign up to trash their nurses, rather than write good reviews. I'll reserve my opinion until I hear what you all have to say about this.
- 0Jun 17, '13 by nursel56 GuideIt looks like a confusing concept at least so far. The pictures are your typical smiley advertising-type nurses typically used in the marketing of a product but the motivation behind it is clearly from the other side ie the statements "this site was started out of necessity" (which leads to a broken or nonexistent link) and the banner "problems with home care nurses?".
From a practicality angle it seems like a cumbersome way to find a nurse unless they are talking about nurses not hired as a result of a contract with an agency. At least they require the person providing the review to use their real name which provides some avenue for redress if a consumer unfairly trashes someone on their site. I predict it will not get that many reviews but we shall see!
We're now in the same category as those review sites for doctors, dentists, and rental cars!
- 0Jun 17, '13 by NyteshiftLVNI get that there are some nurses who try to please people and do more of the "customer service" role. But this is ridiculous I went to school for Nursing not customer service. If I wanted to kiss behind all day I would have picked a different career. I'm there to do my job and nothing more and nothing less. Not only that, who knows if what they put online is true, sounds like a good way to open up libel to me.
- 5Jun 18, '13 by HisTreasureThe whole concept seems libelous. I mean, seriously, if a parent likes or even tolerates a nurse-- and that nurse is filling adequate shifts on their case, then the likelihood of them logging on to that site to shout it from the rooftops that they've found a winner is slim to none. Why? Because if they peg a nurse as 4+ stars, do you know how many other parents would RUSH to steal that nurse? The only way it would work is if the family no longer needs nursing and they are recommending a nurse; but then again, how often would that happen? Once a family is done with nursing, they pretty much wash their hands of it. I hardly suspect they'll be trolling for ways to keep nursing a part of their lives by becoming a member to a site marketed to those who currently have PDN needs. No... the whole thing is fishy. PDN is NOT like doctor practices, rental cars, or hotels. There is very little benefit to the family that no longer needs nursing, and it only opens an avenue for complaints that may or may not be exaggerated or made out of malice.... And truly, how many of us take time to speak openly about GREAT things? No, people are more vocal when they're angry than they are when they are content.
- 3Jun 18, '13 by ventmommyUmm, who had this genius (and by genius, I mean awful) idea?
I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND the need to vent about crappy nurses (and crappy families). No one on the trach parents' board or other SN groups I belong to posts names like "Nurse Jane Doe from Wichita, KS did......" when they have a complaint. When people in groups like that have a complaint they NEVER use the nurse's name.
I think using nurse full names AND license numbers and parent full names is going to lead to a whole lot of liability problems for the site, the parents and the nurses.
If a complaint is that bad you need to call out the nurse's info publicly, your first step should have been the DON for the agency and then the BON for your state.Last edit by ventmommy on Jun 18, '13 : Reason: Incomplete thought
- 1Jun 18, '13 by CloudySueThere is a huge debate about this on a closed site on Facebook for parents of trached kids. It's getting very nasty. The nurses are saying what you are all saying, and the parents are all pitchforks and torches. They truly have axes to grind and making home health nurses sound like incompetent killers. I said that there are too many irrational people who would think nothing of ruining a nurse's reputation simply over a personality difference, and I would have NO problem defending my license and livelihood by legal means. Nurses protect their licenses like momma bears. This all said, I think this site is not going to work out. Something like this will not catch on, they have to put their full name and city, and cannot hide behind a fake name.
- 0Jun 19, '13 by ventmommySo I haven't been on that FB site since my little one passed away but I wanted to see what they say because they periodically have had some parent vs. nurse drama and this sounds a like a fight in process.
Anyway, there is one person who is super defensive of the site and I am wondering if she is the one behind it.
I know that when my son was in the PICU and I met another mom that used the same agency we did, we complained about the same one nurse but wouldn't mention our fave nurses because you are exactly right...no one gives away favorite nurse or babysitter names because that's like asking for them to be lured away.
- 1Jun 19, '13 by ventmommyOh, so shady...
So the woman that originally posted this on the Tracheostomy FB page was *******. It only took me a tiny bit of playing on the google to find that she resides (and is being sued) at the same address that the 5starnurse site uses as it's own address.Last edit by Esme12 on Jun 21, '13 : Reason: TOS/names removed

The third and biggest wave of sanctions aimed against Torrent and music file-sharing websites is sweeping the internet, with 25 online addresses set to be blocked by the British Recorded Music Industry trade body.
View full story
"signing up new bands, and a whole plethora of ideas and culture."?
Wha t culture? What ideas?
Less than 1% of all the UAS/UK pop chart is using bands they can control. These idiots are spoon fed coke freaks! And there is no talent or culture in todays Industrialised pop charts, It fell from grace after 2000. What is left is a cesspool of 4/4 beat tunes with lots of dower "rap clap" and it makes me sick to see these Idiots making videos to compensate for their unhealthy attempts of making music! What they pass on to the kids of today is rancid! give me some zappa, santana, roxy music, anything but rap
They shut one down ... ten new ones get born. These parasites made billions in the past, and finnaly their kingdom is ending, i couldn't be more happy!
A torrent site providing links can get shut down but you can Google a torrent sites torrent links? Surely google contributes to the issue not that I actually consider it a problem, more........ a benefit ;)
Copyright is essential, whether cheap people like it or nt. Its time and money consuming to create.
Here's a shock: Not everyone who pirates music is cheap. I know several people who have pirated music when they have no income and later purchase the songs through legitimate channels because they WANT to support the group.
No wy is ther a RIGHT to access someones creative work.thats like saying FOI to snoop around ur home
Copyright is essential to ALL the creative industry to keep it alive & to keep ppl creating content.
It's not about profit, it's about Freedom of Information. Idea of sharing instead of selling...
15:16 Copyright laws are illegally forced on society to protect BPI profits, majority is against it
15:16 Laws were invented by human society to protect itself, good laws are supported by majority.
How quickly the British forget that they (like Homer's Greeks) are the descendants of pirates.
stop listening music, i didnot listen music from 3year
The msm is trash. I refuse to lose my freedom and culture to these liars, fascists, and degenerates.
-That's an interesting comment. Can you explain how BPI is an illegal business? Not a fan personally
BPI = rotten to the core... and we pirates are mighty and able... we'll see how this goes! Aaaargh!
"illegal businesses commercially exploiting music"
Look s like BPI gave us exact definition of BPI.

Fashion Week: What Mark Loved and Hated in Paris and Milan
All is fair in love and fashion week, right? Below, the best--and worst--from Milan and Paris.
Hate List:
I hate the drive from Malpensa Airport to Milan having not slept.
I hate the restaurant at the Hotel Amour in Paris.
I hate the freezing cold venues with hand warmers and foil blankets.
I hate super late shows.
I hate the winter weather in Milan.
I hate going to a show in the 13th arrondissement and then having to return to the same venue in traffic two hours later.
I hate jet lag.
I hate 9 a.m. shows.
I hate the bar at the Principe Hotel.
I hate not having enough sleep.
I hate being made to wait in Paris for the Louis Vuitton show on the last day.
I hate that the Louis Vuitton show started on time this season (unheard of) and that I saw the show with my face pressed against the plastic tent.
Love List:
I love the bar at the Principe Hotel.
I love having such a good time that I get no sleep.
I love Italian food.
I love the tight schedule of shows in Milan (Paris, take note).
I love being in Paris . . . it's Paris, for God's sake.
I love the Meurice Hotel.
I love being served macaroons and chocolates at certain shows.
I love the Ferré, Prada, Versace, Lanvin, Nina Ricci, and Vuitton shows.
I love the parties.
I love Willi's Wine Bar and Café Moderne.
I absolutely love Beth Ditto of The Gossip at the Fendi party, repeatedly diving into the audience wearing nothing but heavy perspiration and a black sequined bikini--and I adored Karl Lagerfeld's bemused expression.
But most of all, I just love fashion shows . . . Au revoir!
PS. I'm finishing off fashion week with a dinner at the Costes brothers'
latest venture, the restaurant with no name, at 4 Place Saint Germain des
Pres in a courtyard with no plaque. You need a special number to get a
reservation--such an insider!
PPS. Just when I thought fashion week was over, tomorrow I have appointments to see the collections from Japanese designers Comme des Garcons, Junya Watanabe, and Tao, as well as Azzedine Alaia. Also going to check out the renovations at the Bristol Hotel . . . Get me out of here!
UPDATE: Hot from the dinner table! Am at the gray suede-walled, black glass interior of the latest Costes production in St. Germain. The space occupies the famous Le Bilboquet, which may well reopen, and a new Costes hotel may not be far off. Menu unfortunately is like the other Costes restaurants, but the space is elegant postmodern chic with a second empire twist. Still need the private number to book, though!
Check out where Mark went a couple of days ago.

The purchase of a new Ford Galaxy Titanium X with additional extras (memory seats and sat nav). From the outset the interactions with the staff at New Car Discount were accurate and succinct. I never felt like I was being "sold to", only informed in an intelligent way. From the point of view of explaining the process to actual ordering and delivery, the detail, speed and customer service was superior. Very rapid response to both telephonic and email communications. I particulrily like the way… Read Full Review

A new feature-length documentary proposes an interesting driver for the economy: craft beer. Crafting a Nation, said director Thomas Kolicko, "is about pursuing a dream, with beer as the vehicle that drives it."
Kolicko described crafting beer as an inefficient task, which in turn creates jobs. The film takes the audience to craft breweries in eight different states and thirteen different regions.

Gingerbread update for HTC DROID Incredible delayed
A message posted on the Verizon support forum for the HTC DROID Incredible says that the update has been delayed so that the product team can go through some more testing. The carrier adds that as soon as more information about a new date for the download is known, they will pass it on. Which means more waiting for DROID Incredible users. Still, we wonder if you can miss something that you've never had in the first place.

I have couple ?'s:
1. Anyone know if this includes Sense 3.0?
2. If I upgrade to GB 2.3 via this OTA will it upgrade my baseband making me un-rootable if I wanted a Sense 3.0 Rom?
3. If the updated bb is un-rootable, would anyone take the time an older device/new software?
Just curious, thanks for any replies :)

1. it's very doubtful, it's likely you'll get Sense 2.1 instead due to hardware limitations. however there's likely some Sense 3.0 ROMS out there to partake from.
2. it'll unroot you if you do it OTA but i'm sure a new root method shouldn't be too far behind since they got it done for the EVO 4G w/ Gingerbread.

The OTA update has been made into a ROM .zip with root at XDA Developers, for people who want the update but don't want to lose root. Apparently this update does not include Sense 3.0 or 2.1 from what I read. They say that this OTA has Sense 1.0 instead.
Here is a link:

See what I mean. I don't get what's so good about Android. They were sending an update for "MMS messages send correctly"? "Properly save audio files from MMS"? "Successfully play audio files from MMS"? Is this what is so Grand about Android? Those are normal functions on a Basic Phone, let alone a Smart Phone! "Change songs by tapping the forward button"? ? ? Four months old? $200 bucks? Don't set the bar too high, other OS's might not be able to catch up !

And how long did it take for iPhone to handle MMS? What was it 2 years after it was released?

the incredible is great, but now i hv the incredible 2, and it's even better than the incredible. however, i still want this update for my incredible since gingerbread has a lot of new things under the hood.

Lol, gotta love Android fragmentation. Manufacturers sucker Android fans in by not updating old devices to force them to buy new ones. Lol, iPhone 3GS gets iOS 5.

and it'll probably run s**tty on it. my friend hated her iPhone 3G after it got updated to iOS 4.
