UPPER LAKE -- More than 200 women from all around Lake County will head to The Lodge at Blue Lakes for the Lakeport Women's Civic Club annual Mad Hatter's Luncheon and Fashion Show on Saturday.
The theme is "Paint the Town Pink" and promises to be a day of food, fashion and fun, according to Tricia Frazer, of the Lakeport Women's Civic Club.
The menu for the day offers a hot meal of mix green salad with raspberry vinaigrette, penne alla vodka and a carving station of tri-tip with Himalayan pink sea salt. The cold luncheon choice is Russian potato salad with chicken and dinner rolls, Frazer stated.
For the fashion show, members of the civic club will model outfits provided by Anna's Boutique in the Clear Lake Riviera, Frazer stated. In addition to the luncheon and fashion show, women will have the opportunity to participate in a raffle of more than 40 baskets of products and services donated by businesses, as well as prints donated by artists. There will also be a live auction for lodging and dinner in Newport, Oregon as well as Twin Pines Casino in Middletown.
The event is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the women's club with all of the proceeds going to charities and community projects, Frazer stated. Some of the projects they are supporting include Northlake Adult Day Care, Veterans' Honor Guard, Sponsoring Survivorship, and two $1,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors.
The club volunteers have been working to support the community for the past 93 years, Frazer stated.
Tickets for the Mad Hatters Luncheon and Fashion Show cost $30. For information call Cheryl Robbins at 263-3445.
The Lodge at Blue Lakes is located at 5135 Highway 20 in Upper Lake.

Private Practice Granted a Full Season By ABCby Steve Marsi at . Comments
It's official! The Grey's Anatomy spinoff, Private Practice, has earned the trust of ABC and has been picked up for a full season, according to E! Online.
This is just the second new series to get picked up for a full 2007-08 television series. The CW's Gossip Girl was the first.
This week's episode of Private Practice, "In Which Addison Has a Very Casual Get Together," averaged approximately 12 million viewers, down from its premiere, but solidifying it as a bona fide success after just four episodes.
We hear that David Sutcliffe was also recently cast as a possible new love interest for Dr. Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh). Very interesting!
Congrats to Kate, the whole Private Practice cast and its writing team. We're looking forward to a full season - and hopefully many more.
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: Private Practice
Congrats to Shonda and the entire cast of Private Practice. I'm loving the show. I missed it last Wednesday because I went to a lecture at my friends school, but my mother taped it for me. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet but I'm going to tonight so I can catch up on my favorite neo-natal surgeon and her new group of friends. So far, this show looks like it may surpass Grey's as my favorite show. I guess either way, Shonda wins, right?
Darn it ... This is awesome! Glad that Private Practice will continue for a full season which means I can see Addie for a whole lot more!
I'm really glad we'll see more of Addie and her lot. Loved her on Grey's, and really think she has great dramatical potential...just one thing missing...more sexy, slow and hoooottttt kisses ;) Just keep on :)

I've got all 104 original Krana, including the dark purple variants of the Gahlok Va Krana. I've also got all 48 standard Krana-Kal as well as 1 SSKK, 1 WMKK, 8 VMKK and 4 GPKK. I only need 4 more GPKK to have a full set. You can see them here.
Do you happen to own a Gray Plastic Krana-Kal (GPKK)?
If so, please check out my topic to see if you have one I need.
I am offering $100 USD or a White Metal Krana-Kal (WMKK) to either anyone who can either give me a lead to a GPKK that works out or to whoever owns one that I need and sells it to me directly.

I only have 4 bohrok and thus only 4 krana, and I only know the exact whereabouts of two of them at the moment, so I dont think I wanna go through the trouble of finding and identifying all of them. They came from a Gahlok, Tahnok-Kal, Lehvak-Kal, and Nuhvok-Kal, and that's all I know

I have five- two from a Krana pack and three from my three Bohrok. Ca and Vu are the only ones I know off the top of my head.

Many ancient, some slightly chewed, Krana smelling of mildew in the bottom of a bin; I've tried to save them, but unfortunately the hardiest of the bunch are those dreadful Krana Kal. What I'd give for another pair of intact orange and chartreuse Krana for my Nuvohk and Gahlok.

Considering the Bohrok were one of the niftier (and more popular) things to come out of OG Bionicle, I wouldn't be surprised if there was an attempt to reintroduce them. It'd be tricky to do, especially if you wanted to encapsulate all their original gimmicks. Lego doesn't really do models made of 90% new parts nowadays. (And they're better off for it, but still...)

I have a page with 3x Quints of Avarice. Now I've read on the forums that the +1G doesn't pop up for them...I'm fine with that. However, on start of game, 10 secs in, my gold doesn't move. 30 seconds in, my gold still hasn't moved.
Are they working as intended? Is there a timer where they start up and actively turn on? The Greed Mastery (not specced for that anymore), shows up with a +1G at 10 seconds into a game and my gold does go up. Shouldn't Quints of Avarice work the same way?

Complaining that a remake of a movie that was itself an adaptation of a play lacks originality may seem redundant, but Steve Pink's version of About Last Night doesn't really bring anything fresh or new to the material aside from an appealing cast. The story gets underway when nice guy Danny (Michael Ealy), still nursing a broken heart, is asked to be a wingman for a date involving his extroverted best friend Bernie (Kevin Hart) and a woman named Joan (Regina Hall), whom Bernie picked up at a bar a few days earlier and shared a night of memorable, if not fantastic, sex. Joan arrives with her BFF Debbie (Joy Bryant), who has been on the dating scene for...
A modern reimagining of the classic romantic comedy, this contemporary version closely follows new love for two couples as they journey from the bar to the bedroom and are eventually put to the test in the real world.
About Last Night -- Sparks fly as Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy, Regina Hall and Joy Bryant navigate the hilarious relationship minefields from the bar to the bedroom in this romantic comedy about hookups, breakups?and breakdowns.

Best new bars and clubs
Continuing Singapore's ardour for made-in-Japan brands and talent, bartender Daiki Kanetaka pens a love letter to tipple sippers here with his handsome new Ginza-style bar that delivers a rarified cocktail experience to swoon over. D.Bespoke – the 'D' is a reference to Kanetaka's first name, but it comes across as pseudo-French – is almost like a reprise of the exclusive Glen and Glen Classic bars in Beijing for which Kanetaka's exalted (he's opening another one in Jakarta soon). Singapore is his new home; he says he's here to stay, and will only visit his Beijing bars a few days each month to keep tabs on things. Enter the 28-seater shophouse speakeasy from a lifestyle retail front selling some of the bar's glassware, leather products and, oddly, a fixie. Inside, Kanetaka replicates the wood-clad long bars of his other establishments, with 14 bar-side bearish leather armchairs and seats for another 14 on plump chesterfield loungers. The mid- and top-shelf liquors are tastefully spaced out and never stacked two deep on a bar shelf that spans the wall, and at the far end perches a stretched leg of Jamon Iberico de Bellota ($40), shaved in glossy strips to order. This is by no means an everyday bar. With 16 years' experience in the strict Japanese bar system, Kanetaka counts Japanese legend Hidetsugu Ueno a mentor. He's devoted two years – including a four month stay in Jerez – to get his sherry sommelier-like venenciador certification, and has spent time at the Ardbeg and G
Not everyone can quite suppress that involuntary 'wow' that emerges from their mouths when they get up here – this is the Singapore River from and all-new angle. Placed on the South Bridge Road end of the Boat Quay stretch, this outdoor bar that has surfaced on a shophouse rooftop overwhelms the eyes with an unobstructed panorama of the Parliament buildings, skyscraper columns, Marina Bay Sands, and even the top half of the Flyer. Finding it, though, will be your first challenge. Disregard its Boat Quay address and look for the illuminated lobby in the alleyway along South Bridge Road to take the glass-cased lift up to the fifth-floor perch. The partially sheltered outdoor bar seats 36 and has standing room for double that number around its built-up kitchen and bar – though if you're tallish and have a penchant to throw shapes after a few drinks, give the alarmingly short surrounding walls a wide berth. Where Southbridge earns points for its vantage point, it loses for the food. For a kitchen run by il Lido group honcho Beppe De Vito, we certainly didn't expect an almost tasteless lobster knuckle roll ($28) among the seafood snack options. The oyster angle is played out six ways hot ($30/six) and cold ($20/six at happy hour, $24/six after 8pm), with dressings like ponzu in the umami version, mint cucumber and vermouth in the habana, and smoked bacon and cheese in the smoky casino. The bivalves are from New Zealand, and will occasionally include a selection of rarer F
Fans of drinks with a local touch (think chilli crab cocktails) at Mars Bar at the Duxton Hotel will find plenty to love at Red Dot Traffic Building's new pop-up watering hole, Hopscotch. Open until next October, the unassuming space (where Artery bar used to be) pays homage to nostalgic Singaporean flavours with its retro-sounding name. The cocktails, crafted by Joel De Win and former Bar Stories barkeep Kino Soh, feature ingredients familiar to the local palate. One standout is the rich Golden 933 ($21), which uses cereal butter fat-washed rum and curry leaves to come across as a sippable version of cereal butter prawns. Another winner, the Kopi Stout ($22) fashions kopitiam breakfast favourites – robust local coffee and savoury Bovril – into a super-smooth rum-stout concoction with a lingering saline kick. Hopscotch has also updated classics such as the Singapore Sling No. 6 ($22) – its version includes housemade pomegranate syrup instead of the usual additive-filled grenadine. For non-drinkers, there's also a good selection of alcohol-free sips such as Key Lime Pie ($9), a mix of vanilla, calamansi and homemade lemon curd. It's a nice detail to ensure designated drivers don't feel left out. Our one gripe is that there's no menu of bar bites. But most drinks come with a thoughtful accompanying local snack. The Golden 933 is paired with prawn crackers, the Kopi Stout comes with nostalgic white rabbit candies or gem biscuits, and the Fortune Kaya Flip ($21) – rum, pandan
Potato Head Folk
Yes, it's another high-end cocktail bar in Chinatown, but don't start yawning yet. From surreal eye candy to a rollicking soundtrack breezing between classic rock and Motown funk, Keong Saik newcomer Potato Head Folk nails the flippant, friendly vibe they boast at their Seminyak, Bali location – easily one of South-East Asia's trendiest bars. Oh yeah, the drinks are pretty special, too. As we've seen in other ballyhooed cocktail lounges in town, slick branding or a big name doesn't guarantee that things will be done right, but Potato Head Folk manages it with fun and flamboyance, even while juggling split personalities: burger joint Three Buns occupies the first two floors, artsy cocktail club Studio 1939 is nestled on the third, and a twinkle-lit tiki bar operates on the building's lovely open-air rooftop. Studio 1939 is located halfway up a winding checkered staircase decked out with vintage knick-knacks and slightly sinister motifs of sailor boys and fairytale figures, a fantastical concept inspired by the Boy's Own series from Australian artist and the Folks' design consultant David Bromley. Classy and cool without a hint of pretentiousness, this third-floor bar is the highlight of this lovingly-restored shophouse. Plush chesterfields, vintage rattan furnishings, and wooden flooring lend easy, effortless style to the dimly lit, high-ceilinged room, and the semi-circular marble bar gives a sense of both space and intimacy. There are 20 hand-crafted cocktails and a range of
Operation Dagger
Despite its tiny basement space, this underground cocktail bar packs an impressive punch. Staffed by Oxwell & Co's Luke Whearty and Aki Nishikura, plus Yijun Juan (formerly of Ding Dong), it looks like a cross between an Aesop and Scandinavian furniture store, thanks to a wall full of brown bottles and an impressive 6,000- bulb light cloud installation (which the team hung up orb by orb). To find it, seek out the glass door with a curious rectangle and upside-down crown scrawled on its lintel – for those in the know, it's a symbol used in hobo code (loosely meaning 'hassle us and we'll give you something to go away'), a motif that plays throughout the venue – then bravely descend down the dingy staircase. Inside, you'll find that the trio are happier to feed you curious concoctions to coerce you to stay and challenge your drink preferences. There's an emphasis on experimentation, much of which is done in the 'cage' at one end of the bar. Look out for limited runs of 'dangerous water' (another hobo term) creations such as house-made meads, infused spirits and a weekly bottled cocktail ($18) – during our visit, it was a special fizzy cocktail fermented with champagne yeast, which yielded a sweet apple pie-like flavour. The menu currently offers only five cocktails (though they're hoping to expand this to at least ten or 15) ranging from $20-$25. Each drink lists its ingredients, but not the spirits in play – 'we want to get people to think outside the box, and not have t
It was truly the end of an era when our beloved, decade-old Home Club announced its closure earlier this year – many hearts were broken and countless waxed nostalgic about the good times and great music at the iconic riverside venue. But as one door closes, another opens, with Home Club owner Roy Ng announcing its evolution into a new multi-purpose concept space: CANVAS. Originating as a collaboration between Ng and Mahen Nathan (a partner at BED Concepts, which is launching CANVAS in Bangkok as well), the pair got to talking about a year ago when they realised they shared similar philosophies and ideals when it came to art, entertainment and nightlife – CANVAS was birthed as a result of boosting and balancing the individual strengths of Home Club and BED Concepts. 'The crowd in Singapore is becoming more discerning; they're always looking for new experiences,' Nathan explains. 'By providing a creative melting pot where art, music and lifestyle converge, we can cater to their needs, as this has never been done in Singapore before.' Stepping away from Home Club's dark and edgy vibe, CANVAS is like the grown-up version that boasts a mellowed sophistication, with a more refined eclecticism than its predecessor. Expect the space to be a beautifully quirky one – a platform for artists to showcase their music and art, a spot for creative minds and party-goers to mix, and a setting where it all blends together smoothly. As Nathan puts it succinctly, 'art is the main feature and mu

In this tough economy, getting something for free is always a good thing, right? Short answer: It depends on your tolerance for risk.
Take free antivirus software as an example. It may seem like a bargain, but it's not. Here are the issues to consider before you download this particular "freeware."
First and foremost, free antivirus software doesn't provide the comprehensive protection you need against today's biggest online threats. So when you trust your computer, applications, files and identity to free antivirus software, it can end up costing you more in time, aggravation, and money than you ever imagined.
Most free antivirus software is really just bait that some software companies use to lure you in. It's usually a "light" version of one of their paid products that offers only limited protection against today's online threats.

A new report has come out that highlights the impact that SaaS and other cloud models are having on information governance approaches. According to the findings of the "Information Governance in the Cloud: A Study of IT Practitioners" study conducted by the Ponemon Institute and sponsored by Symantec, most organizations lack the procedures, policies and tools to ensure that sensitive information they put in the cloud remains secure. The survey found that only 27 percent of respondents said their organizations have procedures for approving cloud applications that use sensitive or confidential information.
The study shines a spotlight on some of the information protection and management issues that organizations are facing as they adopt the cloud model, and they resonate with what we at Symantec have been hearing from many of the senior security...

The problem was highlighted yesterday in public after presumably months of private talks. By post 10 a perfectly reasonable and doable suggestion is put on the table and your reply in post 12 coming across quiet favorable.
Why then at the end of today are we 4 pages in with plenty of posts by yourself and no site of a resolution?
The intial problem is between you and the OP alone and should really stay that way. But from a PR point of view, now it's in the public domain, surely a swift resolution - a good will gesture - today would have been beneficial all round?
EDIT: sorry, I was busy typing when the las two post are added. Of course yes, the OP and CPL should be sorting this out in private now.

Revisiting a previous questions that I made sometime ago about PDF creation from Revit, in which some correspondents recommended either PDF 995 and others Cute PDF, I wonder which one has been found to work better with the current version of Revit 2012. Some time has passed, so I wonder if there is a preference now.
Has a better PDF creator been created for Revit since then?
Also, how come that Revit being a marketing tool most of all, Autodesk has left out a native PDF creator from the program up to this point? Any chances that it might be included in the next version?
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by octavio2. See the answer in context.
Thanks to all of you who responded with the feedback.
Don't bother with PDF 995. You either have to pay for it or you get pop-up ads. I've had mixed success with CutePDF and 64-bit systems. I always use PDFCreator (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/). It's free, and offers plenty of options, and it includes all architectural sheet-sizes.
I use EasyPDF printer. It's $29.99, and it works great for Revit or for any other application. The address is:
Be very cautious about all those "free pdf creators" that abound in the internet. They usually put things in your computer without your permission, in exchange for being "free".
I had success with the paid version of PDF995 for many years for all of the Revit versions through 2009 and maybe 2010. I finally went with Adobe Acrobat and have not had any issues at all printing to pdf with Adobe. i don't remeber why i switched to Adobe, there may have something that was printing as black squares and so switched.
In all the years I've been using PDFCreator, it has never put anything on my computer that I didn't want there. During the install, you have the option of installing a toolbar for your browser, but if you don't want it, just uncheck the box. No need to be so paranoid.
Oh, Ross, I said that because of a very bad experience I had with one of those "free" PDF creators from the internet. It changed my home page and it put a search toolbar in my browser, , it put a game program in my desktop, and it put another program to check my computer for latest drivers. All for free!
Ha ha, nice!
Yeah, you've always gotta watch the install option with any program, paid or free. With free programs, you get a browser toolbar and a new homepage, with paid software you get several "upgrades" and "viewers" whether you want them or not.
Just part of life in the digital age.
Thanks to all of you who responded with the feedback.
The black and white 3D of the site has some trees, and these look like stars with two planes crossed rather than smooth round trees. I wonder if there is a way or setting that will smooth the trees so they show smooth like trees in the black and white PDF. Also, if there is, it is OK to leave it like that without using too much space or rescources, or it is better to revert to the default?
Thanks again.
Thanks to all of you who responded with the feedback.
We spent quite a while trying out all of the free options. If you go the free rout PDF Creator is the best free option out there. It allows for batch printing though it has a few quirks - still the best free option IMHO. If you can spend the money Blue Beam is unquestionably the best for creating PDFs. We are working to switch our office from Adobe to Blue Beam.

Broncos Insider: "GHOSTBUSTERS" … Broncos hold off late rally by San Diego Chargers to win 24-17
Good Monday morning, Broncos fans. A reason to celebrate: Playoff football continues in the Mile High City. This is your Broncos Insider Newsletter.
Good Monday morning, Broncos fans. A reason to celebrate: Playoff football continues in the Mile High City. This is your Broncos Insider Newsletter.
Good Sunday morning, Broncos fans. Playoff football is (finally) here in the Mile High City. Here's what we have for you in special playoff edition of the Broncos Insider Newsletter.
BOOKMARK IT FOR GAME DAY: Our new Broncos GameTracker app with live updates, play-by-play, stats, photos, video and more. Perfect for your mobile phone or tablet: http://dpo.st/broncos-tracker
JOIN US: For Press Box Live outside Sports Authority Field at Mile High at 1 p.m with Mike Klis, Benjamin Hochman, UT San Diego's Nick Canepa, host Peter Burns and the rest of the Denver Post crew: http://dpo.st/press-box
Windy City Forecast: "Partly sunny, with a temperature rising to near 51 by noon, then falling to around 39 during the remainder of the day. Windy, with a west northwest wind 22 to 31 mph, with gusts as high as 47 mph," according to the National Weather Service.
"Both teams have to deal with it," Broncos coach John Fox says. "That's typical of any kind of inclement weather or elements. Whatever is there, we'll deal with." http://dpo.st/1asV90F
Don't expect the skydivers tomorrow if you're at the game. The four will be grounded if the winds exceed 15 mph, writes The Denver Post's Kirk Mitchell. But they'll be sitting in their orange and blue jumpsuits at Longmont Airport on Sunday regardless. http://dpo.st/1asUcpj

Broncos game plan vs. the San Diego Chargers, looking at when the Broncos and Chargers pass, and when both run. http://dpo.st/1asXwke
Good Friday evening, Denver Broncos fans. If you're new here, welcome to our daily Broncos Insider newsletter, which we'll publish daily as long as the Broncos remain in the playoffs (and then step back to once-per-week). Here's the latest and greatest from Broncoland.
COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF: 2 days
That Broncos defense has been forced to overcome attrition this regular season and the playoffs, writes Joan Niesen. "… the Denver defense has been plugged with replacements, caulked with other teams' castoffs. There's a defensive end who doubles as a rapper and was cut by the flailing Jaguars in November. There's the NFL's lone remaining XFL player. There's undrafted players and rookies, and there's [Brandon] Marshall.
Happy Thursday, Denver Broncos fans. Here's tonight's Broncos Insider newsletter. Countdown to kickoff: Three days.
Happy Thursday, Denver Broncos fans. Here's tonight's Broncos Insider newsletter. Countdown to kickoff: Three days.
Pressure is on John Fox
Even if he can't feel it, Broncos coach John Fox is on the hot seat, writes Mark Kiszla. "Win, and Fox drives the Broncos Bandwagon rolling down the road to the Super Bowl. Lose, and all credibility Fox had in Denver would be rubble in the ditch."
Mike McCoy has the hottest team in the NFL
Joan Niesen takes a close look at the guy in charge of the Chargers, Mike McCoy. "Some jobs are a multiyear project. Others are just a piece or two away. Looking at the 2012 Chargers, with their 7-9 record and quarterback Philip Rivers' good reputation, but lagging stats, it was hard to tell where they fell." We'll be able to tell on Sunday.
Apparently, I diagnosed Nick Hardwick's concussion much faster than the San Diego Chargers.
I was watching the Chargers-Cincinnati Bengals playoff game Sunday when CBS showed a replay of Hardwick, San Diego's veteran center, clearly staggering, much like a boxer who has been knocked woozy in the ring. I immediately said to myself (there was no else in the living room with me): "The Chargers can't deny a concussion after that replay."
And then come to find out, the Chargers tried denying it. The Chargers announced Hardwick suffered a recurrence of a neck stinger. He didn't come back in, so no big whup. But it wasn't until Wednesday that the Chargers came clean on Hardwick's concussion.
It's a waste of time ranking the Jay Cutlers and Kyle Ortons of the quarterback world. And apologies to Ben Roethlisberger and Carson Palmer, who had very good years only to barely miss out on the playoffs.
But just as in the NFL, only the playoff-bound passers made the Tuesday Morning Quarterback cut this week. If Andy Dalton is ranked No. 12 of 12, you know this is a deep quarterback field.
The QB rankings entering the playoffs:
After skipping last week, which was supposed to be an uneventful bye, this week in review will go all the way back to Nov. 2, when Broncos coach John Fox was hospitalized with a heart problem.
Saturday: Mid-afternoon, news broke that Fox had experienced light-headedness while golfing in Charlotte and was taken to a local hospital. As the evening unfolded, more details became available, first that he was undergoing tests and was hopeful to be released and eventually that he'd have to undergo aortic valve replacement surgery. It also became known that Fox was aware of the condition and had hoped to postpone the necessary procedure until after the season.
• "Broncos coach John Fox to undergo aortic valve replacement surgery" by Mike Klis, The Denver Post
Sunday: More details of Fox's situation began to emerge. His surgery was slated for Monday or Tuesday.
Did Mike McCoy wimp out late in the Chargers' game Sunday against the Titans? Or was he playing wisely conservative? You make the call…
Here's the situation: The Chargers were leading 17-13 with 2:25 remaining in Tennessee. Philip Rivers and crew faced a third-and-9 at their own 36.
Chargers coach Mike McCoy — who parlayed his job as Broncos offensive coordinator last season into this, his first year as an NFL head coach — decides to run the ball, essentially giving up the possession. The Chargers run Ryan Mathews off the left end for a four-yard gain. They then punt on fourth-and-5.
The Broncos again have a "first place" schedule, which means games at New England and Houston. The non-conference portion is against the NFC East. Let's break it down:
Week … Day, Date … Opponent … Place … Time (Mountain time) … TV
1 … Thursday, Sept. 5 … Baltimore
Sports Authority Field … 6:30 p.m. … NBC
Once again, DE Elvis Dumervil will line up across from Broncos LT Ryan Clady. Only this time for keeps.
2 … Sunday, Sept. 15 at NY Giants
MetLife Stadium … 2:25 p.m. … CBS
Peyton Manning is 2-0 against younger brother Eli with 4 TDs, 1 INT and 91.4 rating,
3 … Monday, Sept. 23 … Oakland
Sports Authority Field 6:40 p.m. … ESPN
John Fox was 2-0 last year against his former defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, who will give QB Matt Flynn a try this year.
4 … Sunday, Sept. 29 .. Philadelphia
Sports Authority Field … 2:25 p.m. … Fox
Bronco fans get first-hand look at fast-paced, read-option offense of new Eagles' coach Chip Kelly.
The top two candidates to replace departed Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy are current Denver quarterbacks coach Adam Gase and former Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt. But other coaches could sneak into the equation. Here's a look:
Broncos QB coach Adam Gase
Up-and-comer who arrived in Josh McDaniels' first year in 2009 and has drawn praise for his work with Tim Tebow and Peyton Manning. Was wide receivers coach when Brandon Marshall was with the Broncos. Former Rams coach Mike Martz has called Gase "a fabulous coach."
Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy is back on the head coaching market a little sooner than he would have liked.
With the Broncos' season finished, McCoy is now free to interview for head coaching positions again. The San Diego Chargers have swooped in and scheduled an interview with McCoy for Monday.
The Chargers will be the fourth team to interview with McCoy. He had interviews two weeks ago with Chicago, Arizona and Philadelphia. Those three teams have yet to fill their coaching vacancies. With NFL coaches, scouts and executives descending upon the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., on Sunday, Jan. 20, McCoy may get second interviews this week.
Speaking to reporters Wednesday for his weekly presser, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning offered an endorsement of offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, who is being considered for head-coaching positions by Buffalo, Arizona, Chicago and perhaps others.
"I think he's ready; I think he's paid his dues," Manning said of McCoy, 40, "Mike's a good leader. He's had some good coaches that have been mentors to him, different coaches that he's worked with in his years in the NFL that I think he's incorporated some of their leadership philosophies and his own philosophy.
"I tell you, he's a worker. We spend a lot of hours together — early mornings, late nights — trying to get kind of our plan in place for what kind of offense we were going to be. There is no substitute for work ethic, and Mike certainly has that. … In my opinion, he deserves a shot at one of these head coaching jobs."
When a team asks permission to interview an assistant coach from another team, the candidate's team can has some rights in the process.
In an effort to minimize disruption to their playoff preparations, the Broncos are insisting that teams interested in offensive coordinator Mike McCoy conduct their interview this weekend here in the Denver area.
The Chicago Bears and Arizona Cardinals have already made plans to send a contingency here to visit with McCoy either Saturday or Sunday, when Broncos players and coaches are off.
The performance by Knowshon Moreno last week at Kansas City was a reminder that the Broncos have one the league's best running backs coaches in Eric Studesville.
Moreno was inactive for eight consecutive games, yet Studesville kept him prepared enough for 85 yards rushing on 20 carries plus 26 yards receiving on four catches. A back doesn't go from collecting mothballs to collecting more than 100 yards from scrimmage without coaching.
The Broncos have Peyton Manning on a pitch count.
Offensive coordinator Mike McCoy said Thursday that Manning and head athletic trainer Steve Antonopulos have come up with a plan for how many passes Manning will throw in each organized team activity session as Manning continues to rehabilitate from the neck injury that kept him off the field for all of 2011.
McCoy did not say how many throws Manning is being held to each practice, but in the two OTA sessions that have been open to the media, Manning took all of the first-team offensive reps.
McCoy said the coaching and training staff have not limited the types and distances of throws Manning performs in practice.
"His reps will increase as we go," McCoy said.
Big Bad John Elway will lead a Broncos' contingent today to Arizona State University where they will give a personal workout to long, tall Brock Osweiler.
Broncos coach John Fox, offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, quarterbacks coach Adam Gase and general manager Brian Xanders are expected to join Elway on the trip to Tempe.
The 6-foot-8 Osweiler is the tallest quarterback available in the NFL Draft that will be held later this month. Osweiler is projected to go in the second round. Coming out of high school in Kalispell, Mont., Osweiler passed up numerous Division I basketball scholarships for the chance to play quarterback for the Sun Devils.
While the Broncos' brass — most notably front office boss John Elway, head coach John Fox and general manager Brian Xanders, along with offensive coordinator Mike McCoy and quarterbacks coach Adam Gase — was in Durham, N.C. today watching Peyton Manning throw, the team hosted three defensive free agents at their Dove Valley headquarters.
Outside linebacker Geno Hayes, a starter the previous three years with the Tampa Bay Bucs; inside linebacker Jameel McClain, a two-year starter for the Baltimore Ravens; and cornerback Marcus Trufant, a nine-year starter for the Seattle Seahawks, were given physicals today and met with the defensive coaching staff.
New defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio is an experienced host in the free-agent process as he spent the previous nine years as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Broncos were not expected to sign any of those free agents before they left town.
Now that the Broncos' season is finished, offensive coordinator Mike McCoy is in heavy demand. He took a redeye last night from Denver to Miami, where he is interviewing for the Dolphins' head coaching position as we speak.
McCoy will also interview for the head job with the — gasp! — Oakland Raiders and possibly the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
He also was going to interview with the Jacksonville Jaguars but with the Broncos in the playoffs last week, the Jags gave their top coaching position to Atlanta offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey.
McCoy is getting serious interest in large part because of the success he had in instituting a read-option element to the Broncos' offense in order to fit the athletic skills of quarterback Tim Tebow.
Prior to joining the Broncos' staff in 2009, McCoy was the quarterbacks' coach in Carolina where he worked with quarterback Matt Moore, who is now the Dolphins' quarterback.
Tim Tebow says he started sprinting after Demaryius Thomas as the Broncos' wide receiver raced down the field and scored the game-winning touchdown against the Steelers on Sunday night. Then, for the first time in his career, Tebow jumped into the stands.
"That was pretty exciting," Tebow said during his weekly interview with KOA this morning. "That was a lot of fun."
You never know, of course. But as I watched and listened to Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy this year, it did strike me how "presidential" he is in the way he conducts himself.
Now before going too far, let's get this out of the way: There are two truths in every NFL city: One, the backup quarterback is always the most popular player. Two, everybody complains about the play-calling.
Maybe, New Orleans' fans don't complain about Sean Payton's play calling. At least they shouldn't. I know Green Bay fans think Mike McCarthy doesn't run the ball enough. Same with New England fans about their offense.
Everywhere else, I'm telling you, when the offense comes off a game in which it got outscored, the play-calling stands next to the quarterback as targets for blame.

MySQL Database Triggers
One of the students wanted an equivalent example to an Oracle DML trigger sample that replaces a white space in a last name with a dash for an
INSERT statement. Apparently, the MySQL trigger example in the Oracle Database 11g and MySQL 5.6 Developer Handbook was a bit long. I have to agree with that because the MySQL DML trigger demonstrated cursors and loops in the trigger code.
Triggers can be statement- or row-level actions. Although some databases let you define statement-level triggers, MySQL doesn't support them. MySQL only supports row-level triggers. Row-level triggers support critical or non-critical behaviors. Critical behavior means the trigger observes an insert, update, or delete that must be stopped, which means it raises an error. Non-critical behavior means the trigger observes a DML statement and logs it or implements a change during the context of the DML activity.
The first example shows you non-critical behavior. It observes an attempt to enter a two-part last name, and replaces the white space with a dash (you can find help on MySQL Regular Expressions in this other post). This means the trigger ensures compliance on how names are entered in the database, which should be protected in the web form (through JQuery or JavaScript) and the database.
DELIMITER $$ DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS contact_insert$$ CREATE TRIGGER contact_insert BEFORE INSERT ON contact FOR EACH ROW BEGIN IF new.last_name REGEXP '^.* .*$' THEN SET new.last_name := REPLACE(new.last_name,' ','-'); END IF; END; $$ DELIMITER ;
The problem with implementing a non-critical trigger is that the database performs the work but clerks entering the data don't learn the business rule. A critical trigger simply disallows non-conforming data entry. The next program shows a critical behavior with an
UPDATE statement row-level trigger. After all, won't a data entry clerk update the entry with a white space after the
INSERT statement didn't?
Yes, that was a rhetorical question. Spelling out the business rule in the
UPDATE statement row-level trigger should educate the persistent errant behavior. While letting the
INSERT statement row-level trigger manage the behavior probably saves time for most end-users who make a casual mistake.
DELIMITER $$ DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS contact_update$$ CREATE TRIGGER contact_update BEFORE UPDATE ON contact FOR EACH ROW BEGIN IF new.last_name REGEXP '^.* .*$' THEN SIGNAL SQLSTATE '42000'; END IF; END; $$ DELIMITER ;
Somebody wanted to know why I choose
SQLSTATE 42000. That's because it signals an error in the SQL statement, and that's the closest existing
SQLSTATE to the actual behavior that exists. Moreover, the error identified by the critical trigger signals non-compliance with the application's SQL standards that protects the data.
Hopefully, this helps somebody looking for a MySQL database trigger example that raises an exception. The example works with MySQL 5.5 forward because the critical trigger uses the
SIGNAL feature, which was introduced in MySQL 5.5. Another article shows you how to leverage MyISAM tables to create a logging mechanism for critical event triggers, and you click this link to the MySQL Triggers with Logging blog entry.
Common Lookup Tables 1
My students wanted an example of how to use a lookup table in the database. I thought it would be a great idea to create a simple example like this one. You can read further on my second post about common lookup tables.
A lookup table is a generalization that holds lists of values that support end-user selections. The following example uses a combination of the
common_lookup_table and
common_lookup_column columns to identify sets of value for drop down lists. The end-user selects a value from the list to identify a unique row, and returns a
common_lookup_id surrogate key value.
The sample code uses the table defined in the previous illustration. It uses a simple HTML drop down list, a PHP
library.inc file, and an HTML display form. Below is the drop down selection set for a table and column value.
The drop down list code uses an insecure and trivial
GET method to keep the example simple, as shown below:
  <title>Select Option Sample</title>    <?php // Include libraries. include_once("library.inc"); // Declare input variables. $table_name = (isset($_GET['table_name'])) ? $_GET['table_name'] : $table_name = "item"; $column_name = (isset($_GET['column_name'])) ? $_GET['column_name'] : $column_name = "item_type"; // Call function. get_lookup($table_name, $column_name); ?>
library.inc file contains the logic to use a PHP prepared statement to read and render a
SELECT HTML tag. It uses
OPTION tags for all values in the drop down list. The values for the
OPTION tag are the surrogate key values from the
common_lookup_id column of the
common_lookup table, and text elements are the descriptive values from the
common_lookup_meaning column.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67
<?php /* || Program Name: library.inc */ function get_lookup($table_name, $column_name) { // Assign credentials to connection. $mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "student", "student", "studentdb"); // Check for connection error and print message. if ($mysqli->connect_errno) { print $mysqli->connect_error."
"; print "Connection not established ...
"; } else { // Initial statement. $stmt = $mysqli->stmt_init(); // Declare a static query. $sql = "SELECT cl.common_lookup_id\n" . ", cl.common_lookup_meaning\n" . "FROM common_lookup cl\n" . "WHERE common_lookup_table = ?\n" . "AND common_lookup_column = ?\n" . "ORDER BY 2"; // Prepare statement. if ($stmt->prepare($sql)) { $stmt->bind_param("ss",$table_name,$column_name); } // Loop through a result set until completed. do { // Attempt query and exit with failure before processing. if (!$stmt->execute()) { // Print failure to resolve query message. print $mysqli->error."
"; print "Failed to resolve query ...
"; } else { // Fetch a row for processing. $result = $stmt->get_result(); // Print the opening select tag. print '<form method="post" name="myForm" action="submitItemType.php">'; print '
Select unique from list:
'; print '<select name="item_type" size="1" onChange="change(this.form.item_type)">'; print "<option class=label value='' selected>Select </option>"; // Read through the rows of the array. while( $row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_NUM) ) { print "<option class=label value='".$row[0]."'>".$row[1]."</option>"; } } } while($stmt->next_result()); // Print the closing HTML table tag. print '</select>'; print '<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit">'; print '</form>'; // Release connection resource. $mysqli->close(); } } ?>
The display form action calls the
submitItemType.php program, which displays the value from the
OPTION tag selected in the prior form. The code for the display is:
    <?php print "ITEM_TYPE -> [".$_POST['item_type']."]"; ?>
It generates:
Hope this helps illustrate the value of and mechanics of lookup tables. As mentioned above, there's a newer post on how to leverage
common_lookup tables with more working code.
Open World 2012
In prior years a daily update from Open World was possible, but this year my schedule was too full to support it. This is my compendium of thoughts about MySQL Connect, JavaOne, and Open World 2012.
MySQL Connect was great – good sessions re-enforcing the positive investments Oracle is making in the product. I'll leave to others to qualify changes in what elements of technology are opened or closed along the road to a better MySQL. The announcement of Connector/Python 1.0 GA on Saturday was great news and as a community we owe a lot to Greet Vanderkelen.
NoSQL is a hot topic along with using JSON objects and it was interesting hearing of some unequal testing paradigms to position non-Oracle solutions to be "better" than Oracle solutions. Naturally, the MongoDB was the elephant in the room during those conversations. Some of the discussions seemed more like political rants than technical dialog. A great spot to start with NoSQL and JSON would be downloading Oracle's MySQL 5.6 Release Candidate.
There were also more PostgreSQL conversations this year and fairly accurate comparisons between it and Oracle or MySQL from folks. It certainly looks like it may gain more ground.
Java 7 is awesome, and my favorite feature is clearly NIO2, reinforced at JavaOne. NIO2 brings static methods to interactions with external directory and file sources. It removes directories from the files class, which is long overdue. The nature of those static methods also happen to fit within the definition of Java code that lives inside the Oracle database and gives me a whole host of thoughts about potential in Oracle Database 12c.
Larry Ellison's keynote was impressive because it gives us a clear vision of Oracle's direction and Duncan Davies captured the keynote well in his blog. The continued presence of Red Hat and VMWare offers interesting reality checks to their key contributions to world wide implementation of the Oracle technical stack.
Issues that seem most critical to those I've chatted with are storage, security, tools, and development languages. A nice update on security can be found in the new edition of Hacking Exposed 7: Network Security Secrets & Solutions (7th Edition).
On the forthcoming Oracle 12c release, Information Week just released a good summary view. The introduction of the R programming language on the Exadata Server leads me to wonder about what uses may magically appears in Oracle Enterprise Manager down the road. The TIOBE Index for September 2012 doesn't list the R language in the top 20 programming languages but there's always the future. No mention of Erlang programming language at any of the conferences that I caught but it's inevitably on the horizon as application servers evolve.
Now we wait for the Oracle Database 12c release, which looks like something in the very short term. Perhaps right after the holidays …
MySQL Workbench Book
Finally, I finished writing the MySQL Workbench book. It'll be available next spring. Now it's time to leave for the plane, fly to San Francisco, and see everyone at MySQL Connect.
I look forward to meeting folks, I'll be presenting after MySQL Connect for those staying for Oracle Open World. My presentation is at Oracle Develop on Monday, 10/1/12 from 16:45 – 17:45, in the Marriott Marquis – Foothill F. As I mentioned in an earlier post, you can probably catch me in Moscone West at the bookstore. The publisher requests we attend book signings.
Unfortunately as a speaker I need to convert my Keynote to Powerpoint, and had to purchase, install, and update Microsoft Office 2011 on my Mac. Open Office and Keynote weren't on the approved list, alas …
Update: The book published 4/9/2013 (a bit of a delay from completing the write, eh?). It's available on Safari as of yesterday.
MySQL 5.0 migration bug
At present, you can't use the MySQL Workbench migration tool to migrate MySQL 5.0 to MySQL 5.5, as documented in Bug 66861. The only documentation reference that I could find that references the
mysql.proc table. Since the physical definition of the mysql.proc table changes across the MySQL 5.0, 5.1, and 5.6 releases, I modified my documentation Bug 66886 to suggest providing online documentation (as a feature request) for the
information_schema, and
performance_schema tables across all releases.
The actual definition of the
mysql.proc table for MySQL 5.0.91 holds 16 columns not 20 columns as presently expected by the MySQL Workbench migration tool, and is summarized below:
|0000-00-00 00:00:00
I found out about the issue through a comment on my blog from Marc, who was trying to migrate his production instance. I hope this provides a heads-up to anybody else attempting to migrate a MySQL 5.0 database to a MySQL 5.5. The good news is that the MySQL Workbench team appears to be actively working the issue.
Bulk Transfer Works
As many already know, I've been trying to get the MySQL Workbench migration feature working between Microsoft SQL Server 2012 and MySQL 5.5. There are a number of features added to the 5.2.43 point release, and one led me to believe that the Migration tool expects to find the data in a schema of its own, as opposed to the
dbo schema. Having made that change in Microsoft SQL Server, it did appear to have a positive impact on the migration and when I corrected a character set mismatch it worked perfectly!
MySQL Workbench successfully migrated the schema and table but failed to migrate the data because of a character set mismatch. I updated Bug 66516 the log file from the character set mismatch before I retyped all 9 test rows to make sure they were in a
latin1 character set.
I shortened the original log file because the actual log had over 2,000 blanks line :-(. That's probably something that should be fixed in the code too.
Starting... Prepare information for data copy... Prepare information for data copy done Create shell script for data copy...

Originally, I thought the failure was due to the extended ASCII characters in the Microsoft SQL Server table. It still failed when I took all of the extended characters out. However, Alfredo suggested it was a character set issue, which is obvious when I looked more closely at the log –
'\x9Acak' is clearly an incorrect string. I retyped the
INSERT statement for the nine rows and it worked perfectly. Naturally, I've updated open Bug 66516 with the log file.
If you're curious about the Microsoft SQL Server configuration check this post.
UTOUG Fall Symposium
Heading out to speak on Comparative SQL between Oracle and MySQL at the Utah Oracle User's Group Fall Symposium. I'll look forward to meeting old and new friends. Also, I've got a couple promotional copies of my Oracle Database 11g and MySQL 5.6 Developer Handbook to give out at the end of the session.
I'm also presenting Monday evening at Oracle Develop during Oracle Open World 2012. I'll also have copies of the Oracle Database 11g PL/SQL Programming and Oracle Database 11g PL/SQL Programming Workbook books to give away at the end of the session. Naturally, McGraw-Hill wants me to stop by the bookstore for a signing. If you have time and are in Moscone West, stop by and visit.
Naturally, I'm also attending MySQL Connect to see the brilliant sessions being presented. Hope to see you in San Francisco!
Hostname Change Error
While staging to rebuild the Oracle DB Console (Oracle Enterprise Manager – OEM), I needed to check something in my MySQL instance and ran into the following error after changing the machine's
hostname for that OEM test. The message basically says that MySQL Workbench can't resolve the connection.
The dialog error provides an excellent note, which lists the actual error as the first thing to check. The dialog follows:
This lists the text of the error dialog:
Your connection attempt failed for user '<user_name>' from your host to server at <server_name>:3306: Unknown MySQL server host '<server_name>' (0) Please: 1 Check that mysql is running on server <server_name> 2 Check that mysql is running on port 3306 (note: 3306 is the default, but this can be changed) 3 Check the student has rights to connect to <server_name> from your address (mysql rights define what clients can connect to the server and from which machines) 4 Make sure you are both providing a password if needed and using the correct password for <server_name> connecting from the host address you're connecting from
Navigate to Database -> Manage Connections… in the menu. This opens a dialog where you can manage the details of a connection.
It opens the following dialog page:
The Test button lets you retest whether the connection works. The error message raised by the test, noted below, is not nearly as detailed as the previous error message.
Inspecting the Parameters tab below, you see the
hostname value McLaughlinMySQL. The actual
hostname is mclaughlinsql. You need to replace the displayed value with the correct value.
After making the change, click the Test Connection button. A correct change prompts you for the user's password and when successfully entered yields the following dialog.
Hope this helps a few folks resolve the problem when the machine
hostname changes.
MySQL Workbench Limit
Working with MySQL Workbench, I was always curious why you couldn't run a script with a sourcing command, like
source or
\. command. It raises a 1064 error code, like the one shown in the illustration.
It turned out that there's a pending feature request to add the ability to run a sourcing command like the following:
SOURCE c:\DATA\some_script.SQL
\. c:\DATA\some_script.SQL
I added my business reason to the bug. Let's hope the product managers add it quickly.
MySQL Workbench Scripts
It's always interesting when somebody asks why they got an error message, and especially sweet when you're working on something related that lets you answer the question. They were using MySQL Workbench and wanted to know why they couldn't open a SQL script file by clicking on the Scripting menu option.
As I explained to the individual who asked, you should always click the Edit SQL Script link in the SQL Development section of the MySQL Workbench home page to work on SQL scripts. The Scripting menu option supports Python and Lua plug-ins development and scripts.
They did the following initially, which led down the rabbit warren and left them stumped because they don't know anything about Python or Lua. This is provided to those who choose to experiment with this advanced feature of MySQL Workbench.
That presents you with a chooser dialog and it lets you pick any type of file. (You may wonder, as I did, why they didn't restrict it to
.py and
.lua file extensions, which would preclude opening a
.sql file. I actually logged an enhancement request to see if the development team may agree with me.) You get the following message when you choose something other than a Python or Lua script. You can click on any of the reduced size screen shots to enlarge them and make them readable.
As you may note, the dialog says the activity is unsupported by provides no cancellation button. Click the OK button and the unsupported file is loaded into a tab that is useless. All you can do is click to close the tab and dismiss the window.
After you dismiss (by clicking the x) the non-editable
.sql file, you need to click on the Open Script file icon shown below.
This chooser really should open where the default is for the MySQL Workbench application script files but it doesn't. It opens in the last accessed directory. You need to navigate to where your Python or Lua scripts are stored, which is the following directory on Windows:
Please note that on a Windows system you can't chose this directory option because it's protected. You must enter the navigation bar and type it. Then, you should see any scripts that you saved from within MySQL Workbench.
ReadFile.py below contains a rather simplistic and static program that reads a file and prints it to console (it's small and fits in the screen). Obviously, it dispenses with a bunch to keep it small but check a Python website or book for the right way to manage a try block and handle exceptions.
Here's the
ReadFile.py file shown in the preceding and next screen shots. For those new to Python, watch out because tabs aren't equivalent to spaces. I made a change in the script below to display the trailing semicolon because one of my students asked about it.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- # MySQL Workbench Python script # ReadFile.py # Written in MySQL Workbench 5.2.41 import os f = open("c:\\Data\\MySQL\\query.sql",'rU') while True: line = f.readline() # Parse string to avoid reading line return. if not line[len(line) - 1:len(line)] == ";": print(line[0:len(line) - 1]) else: print(line) if not line: break
Life's funny, and you can never please everyone. The latest question, "Why did I choose to use substrings when suppressing line returns from the
print() function is easier?" Simple answer because the approach differs between Python 2.7 and 3.0 and I didn't want this post to have a lot of Python nuance.
Python 2.7 (compatible with MySQL Workbench 5.2):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
import os f = open("c:\\Data\\MySQL\\query.sql",'rU') while True: line = f.readline() # Suppress line return. print(line), if not line: print break
Python 3.0 (not-compatible with MySQL Workbench 5.2)
You should take note that both version require a print statement on line #8. Line #6 above shows that Python 2.7 uses a comma to suppress the line return, and below line #6 shows Python 3 requires you set
end equal to an empty string. Line #8 below also has a set of empty parentheses, which works in Python 3.x but not in Python 2.7. Python 2.7 would print the parentheses unless you put an empty string inside of them, like a
print('') statement.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
import os f = open("c:\\Data\\MySQL\\query.sql",'rU') while True: line = f.readline() # Suppress line return. print(line, end = '') if not line: print() break
Hopefully, everyone concurs the parsing was simpler than explaining all these Python nuances. Although, it's nice somebody was so curious.
If your script complies with the Python 2.7 rules (that's what is deployed in MySQL Workbench), click the lighting bolt and your code will run and display the results. That's shown in the last screen shot.
If you're interesting in developing plug-ins, check this summary page or this nice example of executing a query to text. Although, rumor has it that certain features may mature over the next year …
Naturally, I hope this helps those experimenting but personally it's a cool advanced feature of the MySQL Workbench.

Living with a rare disease?
Accepting and Embracing My Differences
Amy Maiorano is a self-advocate who was born with a rare genetic condition known as the DiGeorge Syndrome also known as 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. Amy is 19 years old and recently graduated from high school. She is compassionate about public speaking and raising awareness about DiGeorge Syndrome. She recently participated in a clinical study at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in hopes of assisting with research to find out more about her genetic condition. In November of 2013, Amy spoke at a TED conference in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. This March, Amy will speak at the State of the County Address in her hometown. Amy currently works as a teacher's assistant and has dreams of being an author. Visit Amy's website at http://www.amysworld.me
YVONNE PIERRE: As a parent of a child with Down syndrome, I've spoken with other parents and the question we often ask ourselves is, "What is the best way to tell our children about their disability?" Amy, at what age did you learn about 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and how were you informed?
AMY MAIORANO: I was told about my syndrome when I was about 10 years old. My mom explained to me that it was the reason I went to the doctor so much more than either of my sisters and why I had emotional outbursts. At that time I was having a lot of anxiety and even though I didn't understand, they felt it was time to start talking to me about my disorder.
YVONNE: What is 22q11.2 deletion syndrome?
AMY: The 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is also known as DiGeorge Syndrome and VCFS. It is a genetic difference in the 22nd chromosome. It affects about 1 out of every 4000 births. The deletion is the main cause of medical and mental challenges for people with this disorder, but everyone has different challenges. There are over 88 different characteristics of this disorder that includes heart disease, cleft pallet, and immune issues. Every individual has different characteristics – no two cases are the same.
YVONNE: What inspired you to be a self-advocate?
AMY: I was inspired to be a self-advocate because I wanted to let people know that there was a reason for my learning challenges and social awkwardness. It is important to me for people to know that nothing caused this disorder – I was born with it. As I raised awareness for myself, I began to help my friends discover their differences and advocate for themselves.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Chad Billingsley pitched two scoreless innings and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Chicago White Sox 6-4 Monday.
Billingsley, likely to be the Dodgers' No. 2 starter behind Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw, gave up only a single to Alexei Ramirez.
Dodgers star Andre Ethier hit a double in his first at-bat of the spring against Philip Humber.
Led by prospect Scott Van Slyke's two-run homer, the Dodgers scored five times in the sixth off White Sox prospect Nestor Molina, acquired in the offseason trade that sent closer Sergio Santos to Toronto. Van Slyke is the son of former major leaguer Andy Van Slyke.
Ramirez had two hits and drove in a run.

CONCORD, Mass., Aug. 2, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Technical Communications Corporation (Nasdaq:TCCO) today announced its results for the fiscal quarter ended June 26, 2010. For the third quarter of the Company's 2010 fiscal year, the Company reported net income of $2,423,000 or $1.33 per share, on revenue of $6,350,000, as compared to net income of $277,000, or $0.19 per share, on revenue of $2,087,000 for the quarter ended June 27, 2009. For the nine months ended June 26, 2010, the Company reported net income of $4,692,000, or $2.87 per share, on revenue of $14,690,000, as compared to net income of $708,000, or $0.49 per share, on revenue of $5,987,000 for the nine months ended June 27, 2009.
The Company also announced that on July 29, 2010 its Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock outstanding. The dividend is payable in cash on September 7, 2010 to all shareholders of record on August 23, 2010.
Commenting on corporate performance, Carl H. Guild, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of TCC, said, "Revenue and operating income increased during the third quarter due to the extraordinary sales volume generated by deliveries of TCC's DSP 9000 RF Encryption Systems currently being deployed in Afghanistan. As previously reported, the Company received orders in April 2010 valued at approximately $9.7 million for encryption equipment to provide secure national communications in Afghanistan. TCC is making shipments on these contracts on an accelerated basis and expects to substantially complete deliveries in the fourth quarter of 2010, which we expect will result in record revenues for fiscal 2010. Upon completion of these deliveries, our revenue is expected to return to the more modest levels achieved during the recent past. The Company continues to expand its market for the DSP9000 RF Encryption System to new customers that can benefit from a universal security solution which can be applied to their existing radio communications suite of equipment.
