Friends One, Two, Three, and Four happily share a house that is a home, until, that is, they get the itch to go somewhere different. They can't agree on where to go—to be pirates on the seven seas, or to collect creepy crawlies in a deep dark cave? They stomp off in four directions, each carrying a piece of the house with them. The results, of course, are less than satisfactory. Their new locations aren't as exciting as they thought they'd be, and they miss each other.

I worked at Kraft Foods
ProsThe benefits package were good - medical, dental, vision. Co-workers were friendly.
ConsThey micro-manage their employees to the fullest extent. They were unwilling to work with my personal situation, and had me traveling all over the central Florida market. I had a personal family tragedy that occurred, and they gave me a few days off for my immediate family member's funeral. However, I wanted to get back to work soon after, but the company was unwilling to work with me in regards to travel. I needed to stay close to my family because we were all grieving and needed each other during that difficult time. It seems like they place more importance on newlyweds and individuals with children, rather than someone who lost one of their closest family members. I understand if individuals have children, but to place more importance on newlyweds above my situation is just absurd. Overall, they breached their contract stating that I would be residing and working out of Pinellas County. They had me in Citrus County averaging 3 weeks out of a month.
There was no defined career path. I placed high priority into the quality of my work, and performed well, and in turn their was no reward in this regard.Advice to ManagementAdvicePlace more compassion into your employees' overall well-being. Work with them during difficult situation, and try to be accommodating to their needs. Give your employees a defined career path, or a particular goal for them to attain to reach to the next level in the company. Reward your employees for their performance, and open up job opportunities based on performance rather than solely basing it on what is available at the time. If there is nothing available reward them with some kind of compensation to gain a higher retention rate of your employees. The bonuses that are offered are chump change, and not worth the effort that your employees contribute to the organization.

I used to like Google, but like every other idea who gets too big, Google is starting to morph into the moneymaking monger it was meant to be. I think Google should give me, as a form of payment, an iPod clad with their advertisement. I sure as hell will never pay for the privilege of advertising Google!

I'm *shocked* that Google would associate itself with a company named "inPODnito". Not only do they have "pod" in their company name, but they go out of their way to point it, flaunting Apple's stong trademark on anything containing the word "Pod" (http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=3482).

flaunting Apple's stong trademark
Apple doesn't control the trademark rights to 'pod' just yet; they've only filed a trademark application for the word. However, how one company can take a word from the English language and now call it their own is beyond me. Leave it up to the money grubbers at the Trademark Office to do the wrong thing, especially since other companies have been using 'pod' in their product names LONG before Apple's MP3 player ever existed.
What they do control is 'iPod', and the zdnet blog specifically cites that in their posting as being the point of legal contention Apple's overzealous lawyers (my opinion) are shoving in everyone's face. I'm just waiting for them to challenge one of those legacy 'pod' users…

When you slap this on your ipod, do you magically get Google capability? That's the only way it would be worth anything. I think vinyl cases are ugly and offer little or no protection. Might as well wrap it in Saran Wrap.

I have an x64 project in VS2008 that needs to include an old legacy library written in Fortran years ago. I do not have the source and cannot recompile it. The function names in the .lib are prepended with an underscore, but the x64 projects only use fastcall reference which does not want to recognize stdcall or cdecl references. Is there anything that will tell the build to recognize the names with prepended underscores?
All moot points since once I got past the naming problem it ended up telling me fatal error LNK1112 : module machine type x86 conflicts with target machine type x64, so i can't link this old library in anyway.

Why I Chose Einstein
I liked the idea of doing research that had a close tie to clinical medicine.
Favorite Story About My Research
I had a fairly ambitious, high-risk project. I toiled away for two years and wasn't getting too far. I was hanging out with a friend in another lab, and we started discussing ideas we could do together. Over the course of two weeks, we came up with my thesis project and actually started a collaboration without necessarily having approval from our bosses. It's stuff my lab has never done before—my P.I. will probably end up writing a grant on it.
Best Thing About Being a Student at Einstein
The curriculum makes sense. It is focused on you becoming a scientist. The qualifying exam is earlier in the Ph.D., forcing you to get an idea early on of where things are headed and preventing you from being aimless in the lab.

Personally, it's the expense. I really want it but the economy around the UK feels different. I have a job like I have had for years so no difference there but I'm fearful of how the economy might turn next and I should spend less. My tolerence level for expenses have toughened up in the last 12 months. A year ago, I would have thought a bit then dish out on Wii U and a game. 2 Years ago I would have thought little then get Wii U + 2 games. 3 Years ago I would have thought nothing and got Wii U and most likely more than 3 games in the first 2 months. Now, I'm holding out.

Hypothesis Test for a Single Proportion
For an example of a hypothesis test for a single proportion, consider the following. Cell Phone Market Research Company conducted a national survey in 2010 and found the 30% of households in the United States owned at least three cell phones. Michele, a statistics student, decides to replicate this study where she lives. She conducts a random survey of 150 households in her town and finds that 53 own at least three cell phones. Is this strong evidence that the proportion of households in Michele's town that own at least three cell phones is more than the national percentage? Test at a 5% significance level.
1. State the question: State what we want to determine and what level of confidence is important in our decision.
We are asked to test the hypothesis that the proportion of households that own at least three cell phones is more than 30%. The parameter of interest, p, is the proportion of households that own at least three cell phones.
2. Plan: Based on the above question(s) and the answer to the following questions, decide which test you will be performing. Is the problem about numerical or categorical data? If the data is numerical is the population standard deviation known? Do you have one group or two groups?
We have univariate, categorical data. Therefore, we can perform a one proportion z-test to test this belief. Our model will be:
3. Hypotheses: State the null and alternative hypotheses in words then in symbolic form:
- Express the hypothesis to be tested in symbolic form.
- Write a symbolic expression that must be true when the original claims is false.
- The null hypothesis is the statement which includes the equality.
- The alternative hypothesis is the statement without the equality.
Null Hypothesis in words: The null hypothesis is that the true population proportion of households that own at least three cell phones is equal to 30%.
Null Hypothesis symbolically: Ho: p = 30%
Alternative Hypothesis in words: The alternative hypothesis is that the population proportion of households that own at least three cell phones is more than 30%.
Alternative Hypothesis symbolically: Ho: p > 30%
4. The criteria for the inferential test stated above: Think about the assumptions and check the conditions.
Randomization Condition: The problem tells us Michele uses a random sample.
Independence Assumption: When we know we have a random sample, it is likely that outcomes are independent. There is no reason to think how many cell phones one household owns has any bearing on the next household.
10% Condition: We will assume that the city in which Michele lives is large and that 150 households is less than 10% of all households in her community.
Success/Failure: p0(n) > 10 and (1 - p0)n > 10
To meet this condition, both the success and failure products must be larger than 10 (p0 is the value of the null hypothesis in decimal form. )
0.3(150) = 45 > 10 and (1 – 0.3)150 = 105 > 10
5. Compute the test statistic:
The conditions are satisfied, so we will use a hypothesis test for a single proportion to test the null hypothesis. For this calculation we need the sample proportion, p̂:
6. Determine the Critical Region(s): Based on our hypotheses are we performing a left-tailed, right tailed or two-tailed test?
We will perform a right-tailed test, since we are only concerned with the proportion being more than 30% of households.
7. Sketch the test statistic and critical region: Look up the probability on the table, as shown in .
8. Determine the p-value:
p-value = P(z > 1.425) = 1 – P(z <1.425) = 1- 0.923 = 0.077
9. State whether you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis:
Since the probability is greater than the critical value of 5%, we will fail to reject the null hypothesis.
10. Conclusion: Interpret your result in the proper context, and relate it to the original question.
Since the probability is greater than 5%, this is not considered a rare event and the large probability tells us not to reject the null hypothesis. The p-value tells us that there is a 7.7% chance of obtaining our sample percentage of 35.33% if the null hypothesis is true. The sample data do not show sufficient evidence that the percentage of households in Michele's city that have at least three cell phones is more than 30%. We do not have strong evidence against the null hypothesis.
Note that if evidence exists in support of rejecting the null hypothesis, the following steps are then required:
11. Calculate and display your confidence interval for the alternative hypothesis.
12. State your conclusion based on your confidence interval.

Ian Ziering, Tara Reid back for more in 'Sharknado 3′
Talk about a couple of people who need some form of shark repellent.
Ian Ziering and Tara Reid will reprise their roles as Fin Shepard and April Wexler in Sharknado 3, which will premier sometime in July on Syfy.
Even better news for Sharknado fans: Director Anthony C. Ferrante is back, too, with Thunder Levin writing the script. Syfy and production company The Asylum sent out an update Thursday.
In Sharknado 2: The Second One, Fin and April saved New York from a tornado that rained angry sharks all over Manhattan. In the original, they saved Los Angeles.
Next up: Washington, D,C., then the Eastern Seaboard on down to Florida.
In the sequel, April lost her hand from a shark bite on an airplane (don't ask) only to recover with a circular saw hand in the closing scenes. Fin again saves the day by taking position on the Empire State Building and destroying the storm vortex by detonating a tank of Freon (don't ask).
The cameo-loaded sequel became Syfy's most-watched original movie with 3.9 million total viewers. That was triple the 1.37 million viewers who watched the original. Syfy claimed that the sequel was responsible for 1 billion "estimated impressions" on Twitter.
Ziering told EOnline.com that he hoped the third installment would be outside the U.S. "Wouldn't it be fantastic if we went to Italy and a Sharknado straightened the Tower of Pisa," he told EOnline last summer.

Dyax Corp. To Participate In The Leerink Swann Rare Disease Roundtable
Dyax Corp. (NASDAQ: DYAX), a biopharmaceutical company focused on hereditary angioedema (HAE) and other plasma kallikrein-mediated disorders, announced today that Gustav Christensen, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Burt Adelman, M.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, will participate in the Leerink Swann Rare Disease Roundtable on Wednesday, October 2, 2013 at Le Parker Meridien in New York City and are scheduled to present at 9:00 AM ET that day. Mr. Christensen and Dr. Adelman will give an update on the outlook for the KALBITOR® (ecallantide) business as well as discuss DX-2930 and the Licensing and Funded Research Program.
This presentation will be webcast live and may be accessed by visiting the Investor Relations section of the company website at www.dyax.com. The webcast will also be available on the Dyax website for a limited period of time following the conference.
About Dyax
Dyax is a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of novel biotherapeutics for unmet medical needs. The Company's key value drivers are the KALBITOR ® (ecallantide) business, DX-2930 and the Licensing and Funded Research Program (LFRP).
Dyax developed KALBITOR on its own and, since February 2010, has been selling it in the United States for the treatment of acute attacks of HAE in patients 16 years of age and older. Outside the United States, the Company has established partnerships to obtain regulatory approval and commercialize KALBITOR in certain markets and is evaluating opportunities in others. The Company is developing products to expand its angioedema portfolio, including a therapeutic candidate, DX-2930, for the prophylactic treatment of HAE and a diagnostic test to identify plasma kallikrein-mediated disorders. In August 2013, Dyax began a Phase 1 clinical study evaluating the safety and tolerability of single subcutaneous administration of DX-2930 in healthy subjects.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The Melbourne Cup

The ACT made Melbourne Cup Day a holiday for a couple of years, and eventually cancelled it because a lot of businesses lost a lot of money. There's your bottom line.

here we go again....another young feminist voice from academia trying to take away adult's rights in the name of protecting children. It's as if they're using children as a battering ram to enforce an agenda to stop people having fun. It's almost like the Taliban.
Adult erotica, children's clothing, gambling, safety clothing, ....these people will not stop until Australia is locked down in a web of political correctness and proscribed behaviours. I had a friend return from Europe recently who said she was shocked at the restrictions on behaviour and lifestyle that Australians were now subjected to and the huge contrast to life in Europe where the freedoms we'd given up were almost in your face.-

robbie swan,
what does the sex of a commentator have to do with this? What does their age have do with it?
as if they're using children? You invoke the Taliban?
Then off on a rant about erotica and aspects of clothing? Then anecdote from a friend ...
Butt, robbie you forgot to address the topic ... oh dear, robbie swan, oh dear.

Having been raised as a just-Post-War Presbyterian, I already loathed and condemned anything like the gambling linked to horse-racing by the time I started High School. I never could understand what gets people in about the Melbourne Cup or any other horse race, or the dogs for that matter, let alone betting on boxing and footy. Early in the 1960s, I read widely-used Statistics text Moroney's "Facts from Figures" (Pelican Paperback). He devoted one chapter to explicating in detail the odds calculation for the Pom betting game "Crown and Anchor", the British Army equivalent of Diggers' "Two Up". Only one Player in that game has a reliable hope of winning: the Banker. And the same concept applies in any game of chance. After reading that, I ever after refused to countenance any kind of Betting.
As far as the social hoopla surrounding Racing goes, I guess there has to be some way of keeping the participants off the streets at night. I live near transport routes used by Racegoers, and see so much haw-haw-haw dressing up walking around. The inebriated going home is not a nice spectacle. For much of what I need to do, the Cup is not much more than an annoying interruption.

How camera flash works: free photography cheat sheet
Facts about camera flash
A flashgun provides a brief burst of light – but the duration can be varied to alter how much flash 'power' is added to the scene. The amount of power needed will depend on the aperture used (the wider the f/stop setting, the less power required) and how far away they are.
The power of the camera flash falls away with distance. The maximum power varies – the built-in camera flash has much less power than add-on units – but once the subject is more than a few paces away, flash has little effect.
If your subject is within range, you can leave the camera to set the flash exposure automatically, or switch the flash to manual mode (if available) and work it out for yourself using the camera's Guide Number.
You take the distance to your subject and divide this into the Guide Number to get the lens aperture you need for the correct flash exposure. Below we've provided a handy cheat sheet to understanding flash guide numbers.
The ISO setting is also a factor – the higher the sensor sensitivity, the less flash power required. More power means you can shoot at greater distances, too.
The shutter speed is often not a significant factor in the flash exposure calculation, though the shutter speed matters for other reasons.
The 'focal plane' shutter of your camera works in a way that means that you can't use the full shutter speed range – ordinary flash won't work with speeds faster than the maximum 'sync speed' for your camera.
If you're using the built-in flash or a dedicated external flash, most of the factors that need to be considered when calculating flash exposure are handled by the camera. For example, if you pop up the flash on a Nikon D3100, it caps the shutter speed at 1/200 sec.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Fear & pedalling: protected bike lanes best 'vaccine' for cyclist deaths
Her leg, floppy and numb, was one of the first things cyclist Rebecca Ward remembers after being T-boned by a driver on Academy Road a year ago.
"I went up on his windshield and got tossed around and landed, sort of spun around," says Ward, a University of Winnipeg student. "I remember just not knowing how to orient myself in space, where my body was -- the moment of seeing the flash of the car to the left, and that instant of being thrown into not knowing."
That spring, there had been a spate of cyclists injured in collisions. As she was wavering in and out of consciousness, Ward burbled something about not wanting to be another one of those stories.
"There were so many people around me, helping me, being super awesome," says Ward. "They were like, 'No, you're fine.'"
And she is, mostly. Her femur was badly broken, requiring a metal rod to be inserted. She spent last summer on crutches and her knee still gives her some pain where the bolts rub. Doctors also discovered a hairline spinal fracture that healed on its own. Despite some sleepless nights early on, she got back on her bike as soon as she could, got a new helmet to replace her smashed one and made herself ride down Academy again. She doesn't even give much thought to the middle-aged man who hit her, whom police never found.
If the environmental argument has largely failed to spark a bike-path building boom in Winnipeg, perhaps the public health argument will work. Safety and injury prevention -- for everyone, not just cyclists -- is the argument bike advocates used in New York City, one of the most congested and car-bound cities in the United States. There, the city builds roughly 50 kilometres of proper bike lanes per year. The Big Apple's new mayor has promised to eliminate traffic fatalities in a decade, and cycling infrastructure is key to that.
But, as Winnipeg bike advocate Mark Cohoe says, this city tends to "cheap out" when it comes to the kind of bike paths research says keep cyclists the safest: cycle tracks. Those are the wide bike lanes protected by barriers, buffered by parked cars or even built on raised asphalt and painted red like in the Netherlands. Instead, Winnipeg's on-street infrastructure is still largely just painted bike lanes that many drivers ignore.
North American bike advocates argue cycle tracks are the gold standard. They work well on busy, fast roads. They encourage nervous cyclists to start pedalling. And they even keep motorists safer by reducing speeding and conflicts with bikes.
In Quebec, for example, one study found that, after an aggressive increase in bike-lane building, 50 per cent more people reported being "regular cyclists" but the number of fatalities and injuries shrunk by roughly the same amount. And, New York's department of transportation found that a new dedicated, buffered bike lane in Brooklyn near Prospect Park tripled commuter ridership and dramatically reduced speeding by cars.
"A protected bike lane is kind of like a vaccine for traffic deaths," says Noah Budnick, deputy director of New York's Transportation Alternatives, the advocacy group that champions safe streets. "This is 2014. We've sent people to the moon. We know how to design our streets. To even question the safety superiority (of cycle tracks) is confusing to me."
One or two cyclists get killed every year in Winnipeg, and many more, like Ward, are hurt. The trouble is, if there's no MPI claim, there's no real record of a cyclist collision. Local bike activists say that means collision data under counts bike crashes. Only 22 bike-crash victims were recorded by MPI in Manitoba in 2012.
Winnipeg has only one truly protected bike lane -- the path along Assiniboine Avenue downtown, part of which is now closed for two years to accommodate nearby construction. The Pembina Highway bike lane, slated to be expanded this summer, is more of a hybrid, though cyclists say it's a good start.
"We're about one per cent of the way there," says Anders Swanson, an outspoken cycling advocate.
Difficult things, which really anger motorists, include narrowing roads to make way for protected bike lanes, building cycle tracks down some of the city's widest boulevards or giving up a lane of parking for cyclists.
The last time Winnipeg tried that, in 2010 on Sherbrook Street, all heck broke lose, when neighbourhood residents and businesses balked at giving up parking for a bike lane. That was the summer the city's bike infrastructure took its first major and messy leap forward, with more than 30 projects across the city, more than $20 million in funding and weeks of controversy.
This summer, the city is taking another crack at a bike lane on Sherbrook, with plans to create a protected lane buffered by parked cars for two blocks.
The city's latest active-transportation plan includes relatively few protected cycle tracks such as that one. A proposed $7-million downtown network is planned, as well as a protected track down St. Matthews Avenue.
But transportation manager Luis Escobar says the city has instead invested in off-street paths well removed from roads, such as the Bishop Grandin greenway and the path that hugs the Chief Peguis Trail. Those have worked better than on-street bike lanes, and there are more planned, mostly for the south end.
He says it's much trickier to build protected bike lanes on existing roads. It's difficult to manage intersection crossings and to maintain visibility. Escobar says it took more than two years to come up with what he calls an innovative solution for Pembina Highway that satisfied cyclists, business-owners, residents and drivers.
"The direction we get is make sure you work something out with everyone and strike a balance," says Escobar. "Safety is the main thing we don't compromise on. We make sure whatever we build is as safe as it needs to be."
The Winnipeg Free Press asked readers to share their own crash stories. We received dozens. We'll print some each day as part of the series.
I was cycling in rush-hour traffic on York Avenue in July 2012, when a truck, attempting to cross all four lanes to enter the alley, hit me broadside. I flew from my bike and landed on the sidewalk. Many kind people helped me by noting the truck's license plate, cleaning my wounds, and even bringing my bike and me home. I tore ligaments in my wrist and sustained bruising on my leg from the impact of the truck, as well as knee injuries and gashes from landing. The driver stopped, muttered an apology, but quickly left. He did not end up facing charges, as my witnesses and I were unavailable for the trial, scheduled nearly a full year after the accident. Many thanks to those strangers who helped at the scene, and to my physiotherapist for helping me recover from an accident that could have been much, much worse.
-- Andrée Forest
I've been involved in two separate crashes over the past five years, both on Portage Avenue while commuting to and from work on clear, sunny days and while wearing bright, visible, reflective clothing and riding in the curb lane ! One was a "hit from behind" by a motorcyclist making an illegal pass on the inside of a curb lane around a transit bus. Upon overtaking the bus, he encountered me in front of it and he stated he "didn't have time to stop". The forward momentum of the projectile (me) onto the roadway split my bike helmet (spared my brains) and resulted in soft tissue injuries and time off work. The second was a "hit and run" by a truck overtaking me in my curb lane, not providing sufficient passing distance and striking my pedal/ foot at 60 km/ hour, causing me to lose balance. Again, I took a hard crash onto the ground, resulting in a separated shoulder, knee trauma, soft tissue injuries and time off work. I also missed out on a European holiday I was to have left on the day following the crash!

WASHINGTON - The head of the International Monetary Fund is warning that if Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling the consequences could be severe not just for the U.S. economy but for the global economy as well.
IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde says that the ongoing political uncertainty in the United States over the federal government shutdown is bad enough but a failure to raise the government's borrowing limit when the current maximum is reached later this month would be far worse.
Lagarde calls it "mission-critical" that the fight over the debt ceiling be resolved as soon as possible. Her remarks came in a speech at George Washington University in which she previewed next week's meetings of the IMF and World Bank.

The current partisan atmosphere concerning Israel is "very dangerous" and "like playing with fire", according to Democratic Congresswoman Nita Lowey, a veteran pro-Israeli lawmaker who is the ranking Democrat on the House Committee that deals with foreign aid.
"I've never seen such partisanship," she said, declaring that "Israel should not be used in order gain a political foothold."
Lowey was speaking in New York at a press briefing organized by the Israel Project advocacy group, together with Republican Representative Peter Roskam, the Chief Deputy Majority Whip in the House of Representatives.
"Let's not act as if people have to agree all the time about Israel," he responded "and we want to avoid a situation where one party cannot criticize another party. That would be absurd."
The two were referring to the harsh tone of the attacks on President Obama's policies towards the Middle East, especially at this week's Republican Jewish Coalition meeting in Washington.
Roskam said the administration should "remove" U.S. Ambassador to Belgium Howard Gutman, who aroused controversy last week by suggesting that that the lack of peace between Israel and the Palestinians was one of the reasons for Muslim anti-Semitism in Europe. He also chided Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for criticizing Israel in her address to the Saban Forum in Washington last week, as well as Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta for voicing his reservations about a military attack on Iran: "Panetta should make clear that 'all options are one the table really means all options are on the table. There are things that are better not said than said.
Nonetheless, both lawmakers extolled the extraordinary collaboration between Democrats and Republicans in the Senate, and Lowey said both parties were strong supporters of tightening sanctions on Iran. She called for the US and other countries to impose sanctions on Iran's Central Bank "so that it is clear to them that nuclear is unacceptable."

Thank you.
I have a table that was imported as all UPPER CASE and I would like to turn it into Proper Case. What script have any of you used to complete this? Thank you. |
Here's a UDF that will do the trick...
You will still have to use it to update your data though. |
This function:
If you can enable the CLR in SQL Server (requires 2005 or later) then you could create a CLR function that uses the TextInfo.ToTitleCase built-in function which would allow you to create a culture-aware way of doing this in only a few lines of code. |
It would make sense to maintain a lookup of exceptions to take care of The von Neumann's, McCain's, DeGuzman's, and the Johnson-Smith's. |
Tony Rogerson has a great post on this: link And Galwegian looks to have posted a tribute to Jeff's function posted at SQLTeam: link |
The link I posted above is a great option that addresses the main issue: that we can never programmatically account for all cases (Smith-Jones, von Haussen, John Smith M.D.), at least not in an elegant manner. Tony introduces the concept of an exception / break character to deal with these cases. Anyways, building on Cervo's idea (upper all lower chars preceded by space), the replace statements could be wrapped up in a single table based replace instead. Really, any low/up character combination could be inserted into @alpha and the statement would not change:
Here is a version that uses a sequence or numbers table rather than a loop. You can modify the WHERE clause to suite your personal rules for when to convert a character to upper case. I have just included a simple set that will upper case any letter that is proceeded by a non-letter with the exception of apostrophes. This does how ever mean that 123apple would have a match on the "a" because "3" is not a letter. If you want just white-space (space, tab, carriage-return, line-feed), you can replace the pattern
I think you will find that the following is more efficient:
The replace statement could be cut and pasted directly into a SQL query. It is ultra ugly, however by replacing @str with the column you are interested in, you will not pay a price for an implicit cursor like you will with the udfs thus posted. I find that even using my UDF it is much more efficient. Oh and instead of generating the replace statement by hand use this:
Anyway it depends on the number of rows. I wish you could just do s/\b([a-z])/uc $1/, but oh well we work with the tools we have. NOTE you would have to use this as you would have to use it as....SELECT dbo.ProperCase(LOWER(column)) since the column is in uppercase. It actually works pretty fast on my table of 5,000 entries (not even one second) even with the lower. In response to the flurry of comments regarding internationalization I present the following implementation that handles every ascii character relying only on SQL Server's Implementation of upper and lower. Remember, the variables we are using here are VARCHAR which means that they can only hold ASCII values. In order to use further international alphabets, you have to use NVARCHAR. The logic would be similar but you would need to use UNICODE and NCHAR in place of ASCII AND CHAR and the replace statement would be much more huge....
Basically the premise of the my method is trading pre-computing for efficiency. The full ASCII implementation is as follows:
Is it too late to go back and get the un-uppercased data? The von Neumann's, McCain's, DeGuzman's, and the Johnson-Smith's of your client base may not like the result of your processing... Also, I'm guessing that this is intended to be a one-time upgrade of the data? It might be easier to export, filter/modify, and re-import the corrected names into the db, and then you can use non-SQL approaches to name fixing... |
Here is another variation I found on the SQLTeam.com Forums @ http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=47718
I know this is late post in this thread but, worth looking. This function works for me ever time. So thought of sharing it.

Like The Little Engine That Could, the plucky blue locomotive who made it over a seemingly insurmountable hill by repeating the mantra, "I think I can, I think I can," Orlando native (and first-time Booth featuree) Joe Clark knows he's destined for the top, and he's going to keep chugging up the track till he gets there. Mixtape leak Locomotive Joe finds the half-human, half-machine emcee filling his soon-to-be fans in on his mythic origin story, assisted by some appropriately cinematic voice-over narration. Unusually-named beatsmith Soy Sauce sets the cherry on top of this motivational jam, serving up a driving soul sample that perfectly captures Clark's dogged determination. The message may be a simple one – Joe Clark is here, and he'll stop at nothing to take over the game – but the high-concept creativity Clark brings to this record will likely score him points among Booth readers. If you like what you're hearing, grab a copy of the up-and-comer's We Are the Stars mixtape, pulling into the station tomorrow, November 24.
