Query Build Help
"Need a little SQL help. I have 3 tables: I need to pull the ssn and dob using just the acctnum as the WHERE parameter. Basically, I have some software that allows a custom query but it will autogenerate the WHERE clause of something like WHERE acctnum = <internal_software_variable. I just do not know how to join the SQL together to match up the row. The database is MS SQL server."

Breast Cancer News
In this section, access cutting-edge breast cancer news on treatment updates, emerging therapies, study results and other medical and quality-of-life issues important to you.
Sights Set on Potential Targeted Treatment for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
New research shows triple-negative breast cancer tumors may have high levels of a certain protein in common. Identification of this protein may lead to better understanding of how the cancer grows, and how to more effectively treat it in the future.
T-DM1 May Overcome Resistance to anti-HER2 Medicines Caused by Gene Mutation
Through a subanalysis of data from EMILIA, the clinical trial that led to FDA approval of T-DM1, researchers found that the amount of HER2 messenger RNA (mRNA) present in HER2 positive, metastatic tumors may predict how well that breast cancer will respond to the medicine. Messenger RNA is a type of molecule that carries genetic information to help make proteins. The more mRNA measured on tumor cells, the more HER2 proteins present, and the more responsive those cells will be to T-DM1.
Delayed Time to Surgery Reduces Survival Rates in Young Women
Young women whose surgery-only breast cancer treatment is delayed longer than 6 weeks have decreased survival rates compared with women who are treated sooner.
Health at Diagnosis may Drive Breast Cancer Survival Gap
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Differences in the health and tumor characteristics of white and black women with breast cancer at the time of their diagnoses may be largely to blame for the disparity in survival between the two groups, a new study suggests.
Genetic Makeup of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Explored
A genetic analysis of triple-negative tumors cataloged in The Cancer Genome Atlas found that triple-negative breast cancers can be broken down into two main groups: those that are basal-like, and those that are non-basal-like.
Response to Early Chemotherapy may Predict Need for Radiation
How breast cancer responds to early chemotherapy may someday help doctors decide the need for radiation therapy based on individuals' risk of recurrence, a study showed.
Young Women More Often Choose Mastectomy Over Lumpectomy
Young women who have a choice of surgical treatment choose mastectomy more often than lumpectomy, or breast-conserving treatment, according to a study presented at a major breast cancer conference.
Study Supports Use of Zoledronic Acid for Early Breast Cancer
Researchers found that postmenopausal women who started taking zoledronic acid when they began treatment with the aromatase inhibitor letrozole saw improved bone strength in the spine and hip compared with women who started zoledronic acid after their bone density dropped too low.
Radiation Therapy Raises Risk of Heart Disease
European researchers found that radiation therapy given at any dosage for breast cancer increases a woman's risk of heart disease, with higher doses leading to higher rates of risk.
Lumpectomy With Radiation Improves Survival in Early-Stage Breast Cancer
A study published in the journal Cancer suggests that women with early-stage breast cancer who have a lumpectomy followed by radiation therapy have at least an equal, if not greater, chance of survival compared with those who have a mastectomy without radiation therapy.


text: There's a shorter way to compile unzip-5.50: # make -f unix/Makefile linux && # make prefix=/usr linux install This way, ./Makefile will be created as a symbolic link to unix/Makefile during "make -f unix/Makefile linux", so "-f unix/Makefile" can be omitted during make install. I compared the log-files, which were created during compilation. Except of an error which appears due to "cp unix/Makefile ." (see below) there is no difference. Also a md5-checksum of installed files are the same. This means, "make -f unix/Makefile linux" doesn't need the "prefix=/usr". An error will disappear during make (first line): ln: `./Makefile': File exists Also there are little typos in "Command explanation": make prefix=/usr linux: ...the prefix varible... => ...the prefix Variable... ...builds the executibles... => ...builds the executables... --- Hope this is useful Wuselwolf ______________________________________________________________________________ Die vCard - Ihr neues Kennzeichen - bei WEB.DE FreeMail! http://freemail.web.de/features/?mc=021156 -- Unsubscribe: send email to listar at linuxfromscratch.org and put 'unsubscribe blfs-dev' in the subject header of the message

Spiritual, uplifting, and inspiring!
Larkin Spivey's book is an inspirational, uplifting, spiritual work written against the backdrop of World War II. Spivey, himself a combat veteran, tells 365 true stories of faith and hope, set up in a one-per-day devotional format. Most stories contain quotes from the soldiers who lived them during the second world war, and each concludes with a scripture passage related to the story.
Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
I particularly liked the simple way Larkin told each soldier's (or sailor's, or airman's, or Marine's) story. Usually in one page, he set the stage, introduced the character, told the story, and explained the particular spiritual relevance. From privates to generals, allies to axis, warfighter and civilian, Larkin drew the most powerful stories together to produce a spiritual shield any prayerful soldier will count as a "must have" in his or her combat gear. It is a well laid out, simple read, with a gripping cover and appropriate pictures throughout. I also liked the way the page edges are ruffled, like an old bible, adding a subtle reminder of the inspirational nature of the book.
Highly recommended for any Christian military person or veteran who considers prayer, spirituality, and God an important part of his or her life. Also for their loved ones, or simply Christians in general.

Re: US open sick Petra had no chance
Just posted this in the GM 'Petra out of top 10 thread' - I think dropping just enough (+ helped by rise of Halep, etc) to miss YEC might be better for next season preparation. It seems she is lacking underlying stamina, and left open to illness when physically pushed. This new fitness coach Vseticek seems a lot more experienced than the 'unconventional' Bazja, whose methods don't seem to have worked - lets hope the new team addresses these problems.
Originally Posted by

If Jelena and Sloane lose today, I think Petra hangs on to 8th in the race, at least until a SF run by Simona or Roberta (either very possible) or perhaps Angie. But with Marion out (plus if Maria does not return by season end), Petra could yet stumble ass backwards into the top 8 by October. She might be competing with Caro in a 'least-shit autumn results' contest.
To misquote a gay Irishman, to crash out of one slam with a sicknote may be regarded as a misfortune; to pull a sickie again at a second looks like carelessness.
I hope the new fitness coach knows what he's doing, doesn't tolerate any self-pity & laziness, gets her properly prepared in the way she wasn't at the start of this year, and that she becomes an entertaining player to watch again. After all, enjoying watching these tennis matches is the main thing for us, not counting the ranking points.

The Benefits of Skin to Skin Contact
The benefits of skin-to-skin contact
The best place for a newborn baby to be is with its mother—skin-to-skin. Research shows that placing naked newborns directly on their mother's chest has significant benefits for both the mom and baby.
A head start to health
The advantages of this immediate, close contact start with easing the stress of being born. Babies placed this way cry less and sleep more than those who don't get this type of care. It also promotes closeness and bonding between mother and baby.
Babies who get early skin-to-skin contact also:
• Have more stable temperatures, heart rates and blood pressure.
• Breathe at a steadier rate.
• Start breastfeeding earlier and are more likely to nurse successfully.
• Have healthier blood sugar levels.
• Are more likely to receive beneficial bacteria from their mothers. All babies become colonized with bacteria soon after birth. Both breast feeding and skin-to-skin contact encourage colonization with bacteria from the baby's own mom, rather than from other caregivers or the environment. Beneficial bacterial help babies' digestion and may protect against illnesses and allergies.
In a good place
At Community, we put healthy newborns skin-to-skin with their mothers immediately after birth, even if they are born by cesarean section. Some babies with health problems can be also placed this way. In fact, babies held skin-to-skin are calmer and better able to tolerate painful procedures such as heel sticks and injections.

To begin with, nobody in the world is perfect. By attempting to look perfect,discount oakley sunglasses you can diminish the effect and appear to be trying overly hard.

Choosing a brown tone is much more flattering since it will not make you look too washed out.
Choose your fashion shopping friends wisely. Your friends can make hunting for the newest fashions fun and exciting. But if you bring a friend with a competitive shopping streak, she may tempt you into buying clothes that either don't fit you well or are outside of your budget.

When shopping for vintage clothing, don't make assumptions based on the size on the tag. A size 8 in the 1950s fits differently than a modern size 8, so save yourself some disappointments by always trying items on before buying them.

If you have ""problem"" hair, you may be washing it too much. It's not always a good idea to wash your hair daily. When you do this, you strip natural oils and end up with a chemical buildup on your hair. If you must wash your hair daily, use gentle, natural shampoo and conditioner and don't scrub your hair. Just stroke the product through it and let it rinse out gently under warm, running water. Allow your hair to air dry rather than blow-drying. After reading these tips, you should know more about modern fashion. Now you know what to look for when it comes to changing styles, and you can be the first one with the latest look.

The rising popularity of article marketing however has brought about some negative effects on online content however, as the rapid distribution of online articles via social networks and viral campaigns combined with individuals drafting poor-quality articles as a quick way of achieving promotion, has created a vast online vault of essentially valueless content.
Writing original relevant content is a much more efficient way of article marketing but does require some invested effort in researching and writing the content, but you are more likely to increase referrals to your site if you have something original to say that they haven't already read or heard, and you are more likely to get inbound links to your page from other sites if they consider your content is worth linking to.
A search engine ranking basically means where your web page comes in the list of results you get when someone does a search for a particular phrase. Search engines like Google return to you the pages that it considers to be most relevant to that keyword and which are also considered the most important are listed in descending order in the search results.
Getting your site listed on Google is one thing, getting it to appear high in the search rankings is completely another. Achieving this is probably the major goal of anyone involved in trying to promote an application on the world wide web, since Google, for the moment anyway, is probably the single-most important entity on the world wide web. The first and foremost rule you need to understand is that whilst there are lots of guidelines and common-sense rules, this is not a hard science and anyone who trys to sell you their SEO services claiming that they can guarantee you will in the top 10 results on Google in a fortnight are generally not to be trusted.
If you keep in mind that Google reportedly changed its search engine algorithm more than 400 times in 2007 should send a strong message that the Google index is constantly changing. The complexity and fluidity of the ranking algorithm, as Google continually seek to supply users with the most useful relevant results, means that it can be a difficult target to hit.
Search engine optimization (SEO) concerns itself with the order in which webpages get ranked when keywords or phrases are searched for in search engines. More specifically, it is concerned with how you might promote a page to rank higher than its 'competitors' by using various techniques. The higher a page is ranked, the more likely that page will draw a greater number of site visitors. For company websites, increased traffic often leads to increased sales, and article marketing has proven to be useful and effective in helping achieve this for many.

Original 1955 Corvette turns up after 45 years in storage
It simply doesn't pay to be greedy, or at least misinformed when it comes to values of vintage Corvettes as the owner of this 1955 Corvette found out at the recent Bloomington Gold show. The I've-got-gold mentality just doesn't work when you try to sell a Corvette in a place brimming with knowledgeable Corvette experts, collectors and owners. However, when this incredibly original, unrestored Corvette went across the block at the Mecum auction there, the high bid of $62,000 was rejected. While 1955 Corvettes are indeed rare, they're not as desirable as the '53 model, so they aren't worth nearly as much. This particular car has been in storage since 1966, so its odometer reading of 16,175 may be accurate, and nothing has been changed on it, including its original convertible top and side curtains. The original leather was in decent shape as was the entire car; of the 700 examples built this year it's one of only 15 painted in Corvette Copper color, the rarest of the bunch. Its 265-cu.in. V-8 runs and is original to the car as is its automatic transmission. Although the top price for such an unrestored gem such as this should have been closer to the $75,000 mark, rumor has it that the owner wanted $120,000 for it.

Four convictions based on confessions after years of inprisonment with torture. I still have a hard job believing that half a platoon of half trained Arabs could hijack four aircraft the same day. I do not think a full platoon of crack SAS troops could pull that off even with the full support of authorities. Forget delivering them on target without interception having crossed a dozen states or more.
I wonder if the Vietnamese went through a similar amount of angst over how to deal with their enemy combatants in the 60s & 70s?
I think GITMO should be turned into a detention centre for those who commit crimes against humanity & genocide. People like Bush, Chenay, Greenspan, Wall Street moghuls & Corporate CEOs involved in blatant embezzlement, affecting the lives & livelihood of hundreds or thousands of their stakeholders.
Might be a good idea to lock 'em all up & then throw the key away!
GITMO is a shame on USA justice and the legalities are a sham.
Doggonit but saving time thinking ahead makes a costly indulgence. Some glorious and just day, those who conspire to complicated foolishness will face the same treatment as conspirators to terror.
Gitmo is a pitiful mess.
Any civilian trial would last but 10 minutes. The US does not have civilian jurisdiction to arrest anyone in Afghanistan, so this would be asserted and the trial would end.
They are being held under the Geneva Conventions which REQUIRE a military trial. Not protecting their right to a military trial is a war crime.
"The worst abuses of the Bush years have been repudiated"
There is ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE to back up this statement, both in the narrow topic of prisoner handling to the broader matter of how to persecute the war on terror.
True, mr Obama ended waterboarding. That said, he has greatly stepped up the Predator attacks in the AfPak regions.
So, the Economist thinks waterboarding three known and confessed terrorists is a moral outrage, but killing dozens of suspected terrorists, quite likely along with their families and other unrelated people, well, that's just mr Obama making tough decisions! Can't you see how nonsensical this posture is?
Either treat the conflict as war, where irregular combatants like the ones held in Guantanamo have absolutely no rights whatsoever and could legally be shot immediately (as irregular German and Allied combatants in WW2 were, to no great protest by either side), or treat it as a criminal case, where the Predator attacks are far more egregious than the waterboarding.
The Bush administration really is to blame for this. They should never have started this military tribunal sham, because it makes people think that these are criminals that have rights. They are not criminals. They are irregular combatants which have no rights under any statute in the world.
The US prosecution system engages in this type of manipulation of the justice system all the time:
A person accused of murder finds himself with the option of pleading guilty and getting a life sentence with no parole, or pleading not guilty and possibly ending up getting capital punishment (ie killed). Does anyone actually think this is fair?
It shows that although you may exercise your constitutional right to trial by jury you can count on being severely punished for it.
So they won't give him a trial if it might not let them kill him?

Please forgive me if I'm making a mistake in placing a question of this nature here as I'm very new to this forum. I've got some Smith & Wesson handguns which I plan to give to some family members who are younger than I am, and I'd like to get some good Pachmyr grips on them first as I'd like to donate these fine old Smiths to people in my family who will need them. I've come to realize that I won't live forever and feel why should I wait till I kick the bucket to give these guns to people by a will? I have extra so why not do so now?
My question is where can I get these grips on the internet. I'm not that good at computer use and any help you folks could offer would be so greatly appreciated. I'm trying to make the use of these guns as easy as possible for some people relatively new to handgunning.
Thanks in advance for your help to a worn out old wreck.
Respectfully & Gratefully,

Indistinctive slate
shumbled amid the sand,
jolting in the currents.
Clamped around yourself
like murderous hands
tightening steel around throats
gravely spitting gravel
and ruminating, rotating.
Silt settles on your fore-brow.
There are plenty of fish in the sea;
they kiss the shell curiously
and dart away, afraid.
You remain with jaw clenched,
with spine curved hard,
with shoal grey defences up,
shaking under the temper
of an unjust ocean,
trying to keep your broken fingers
clenched fierce around the cracks.
You keep it safe,
beneath rubble and bone,
and you are so afraid of breaking it
that you convince even yourself
that it's not there -
but while you screw your eyes down,
shutters against the cruel pervading green,
all but you know
that the oyster has a pearl.

Researchers at Technical University of Denmark's (DTU) High-Speed Optical Communications (HSOC) team have been able to transfer data at 43Tbps with a single laser in the transmitter, setting a new world data transfer record.
Eclipsing the earlier record of 32Tbps set by Germany's Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the latest breakthrough was achieved by using a new single multi-core optical fibre from the Japanese telecoms major NTT.
Researchers noted that data speed competition has been the driving force behind the development of technology that can compete with the exponential growth of internet traffic, which is presently deemed to be rising by about 50% every year.
Furthermore, the increasing transfer speeds are claimed to offer environmental benefits. Emissions from the Internet's overall energy consumption currently equate to over 2% of overall man-made carbon emissions.
"DTU noted: It is therefore essential to identify solutions for the internet that make significant reductions in energy consumption while simultaneously expanding the bandwidth."
"This is precisely what the DTU team has demonstrated with its latest world record.
"DTU researchers have previously helped achieve the highest combined data transmission speed in the world - an incredible 1 petabit per second - although this involved using hundreds of lasers."

Brawn team principal Ross Brawn has been presented with the Motorsport Industry Associations (MIA) Award for the Most Outstanding Contribution to the Motorsport Industry. Brawn collected the honour at the MIA's annual summer reception at Britain's House of Lords on Monday night.
He joins a highly impressive list of previous winners, which includes Formula One luminaries such as Professor Sid Watkins, Frank Williams, Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart and Bernie Ecclestone. Brawn started as a milling machine operator at the March team and during a 33-year career in motorsport has won eight championships with Benetton and Ferrari.
His exceptional race engineering talent is coupled with integrity, sincerity and humility - a rare combination in this aggressive competitive sport, said MIA CEO, Chris Aylett. His personal contribution has benefited many in this global industry - employees, suppliers and drivers. His influence makes motorsport and F1 a better place to be.
"Ross is a great inspiration to young engineers who we need to help us improve our future. As patron of Formula Student for example he is putting something back into tomorrows generation. F1 leaders can be great ambassadors for global motorsport - Ross is one of the new breed who will ensure its popularity will last well into the future.
The award was presented by The Right Honourable Lord Drayson, Britain's Minister of State for Innovation, who is also a keen racer. The 2009 reception was attended by over 300 guests, including Ministers of State, Ambassadors, VIPs, MIA members and leaders from the motorsport industry.

Singapore: potential dilemmas over US links
Posted: 31/07/2012 Filed under: Asia Pacific, Tim Huxley, US | Tags: littoral combat ships, Shangri-La Dialogue, Singapore, US pivot to Asia Leave a commentThe United States will deploy up to four littoral combat ships to Singapore from 2013, Washington announced at the 2012 Shangri-La Dialogue. Against this backdrop, part of the Pentagon's much-vaunted 'rebalance to Asia-Pacific', IISS-Asia Executive Director Dr Tim Huxley has been analysing the relationship between Singapore (above) and the US from the late 1960s. Writing in The Strategist, he points out that while casual onlookers may assume that the city-state is a US ally, in fact successive governments have preferred a slightly less formal, autonomous status.
Singapore appreciates the value of the United States' presence in Asia. However, it is also aware of the need to display a degree of sensitivity towards its immediate neighbours. Its close defence relationship with the Pentagon 'doesn't imply that it would support any future US strategy aimed at containing China'.

Sectarian narrative simplifies and obscures
Posted: 30/07/2012 Filed under: Emile Hokayem, Gulf and Middle East Security | Tags: Alawite, Lebanon, Middle East, Saddam Hussein, sectarianism, Shia, Sunni, Syria Leave a comment
By Emile Hokayem, Senior Fellow for Regional Security, IISS-Middle East
These days, there is a dark meta-narrative spreading in parts of the Arab world and beyond: if the previous decade was that of Shia ascendancy, this one will be about the revenge of the Sunnis.
The chasm between Islam's two main branches, many believe, already shapes internal Arab politics and mirrors a great regional competition that pits Iran against the Gulf states, in particular Saudi Arabia.
The story reads this way: Iran won the first rounds, when it helped Shia parties grab Iraq from Sunni clutches, groomed Hizbollah into a powerful force in Lebanon, and consolidated its alliance with the Alawite House of Assad in Syria. This drive has now been stopped and is being reversed, starting in Syria.
This view, as narrow, simplistic and offensive as it may be, has come to colour the perception of the uprisings that have shaken heterogeneous Arab societies. It helps some people to find a pattern amid the chaotic uncertainty brought about by the massive changes unfolding in the region. It is also circular and self-serving: the more sectarian one is, the more one is likely to subscribe to this reading. Interestingly, many Arabs on both sides of that divide propagate it to mobilise their allies.
Mitt Romney's big London adventure
Posted: 27/07/2012 Filed under: Dr Dana Allin, US | Tags: #Romneyshambles, London, Mitt Romney, Olympics, special relationship, UK, US presidential election 1 CommentBy Dr Dana Allin, Senior Fellow for US Foreign Policy and Transatlantic Affairs; Editor of Survival
Mitt Romney's now infamous gaffes during a day in London, awkward though they have been, are not the stuff of huge diplomatic significance. His problem is that the whole trip – with stops in Israel and Poland as well as London – was premised on the alleged problem of the incumbent president's incompetence and indifference in nurturing important alliances. As New York Magazine's Jonathan Chait puts it, the UK visit 'was supposed to have been a restoration of the "special relationship," a goal that nestled comfortably into the general right-wing accusation that Obama spits in the faces of our friends even as he comforts our enemies.'
Instead, Romney ran into the buzz-saw of the British press, which Chait describes as 'an outrage-generating machine the likes of which we American reporters can only gaze upon with awe'. As an American in London, I know what he's talking about. In September 2009, a BBC producer called me at home asking if I could go on camera to talk about President Barack Obama's 'snub', in New York the previous day, to then UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
It's Time to Engage Iran, Russia on Syria
Posted: 26/07/2012 Filed under: Andrew Parasiliti, Gulf and Middle East Security, Russia and Eurasia | Tags: Syria Leave a commentThe battle for Syria is best understood as the epicenter and early stages of a regional sectarian conflict, rather than the last days of President Bashar al-Assad, writes IISS-US Director Andrew Parasiliti in his latest piece for Al-Monitor. The Syrian president has taken some hits in the past week but has settled in for a no-holds-barred fight to hold onto power. Syria's civil war is inseparable from the broader regional conflict – 'many in the Gulf Cooperation Council states consider Syria a sectarian battlefield to check Iranian and Shiite power and influence,' he explains.
The US has no easy options or answers in Syria, but if it seeks to prevent Syria's collapse, reduce the prospects for further bloodshed and facilitate as stable a transition as possible, then Washington needs to open an urgent new diplomatic front with Russia and Iran, the two countries that retain the most leverage with Assad.
History repeats with East Congo mutiny
Posted: 24/07/2012 Filed under: African Security, Armed conflict database, Hanna Ucko Neill, Transnational threats and political risk | Tags: Bosco Ntaganda, Congo, DRC, ICC, International Criminal Court, Joseph Kabila, military aid, Rwanda, US Leave a commentBy Hanna Ucko Neill, Global Conflicts Analyst
This past weekend the United States announced that it was cutting military aid to Rwanda over concerns that Kigali was backing rebel movements in neighbouring Congo. The $200,000 involved is not that significant, but Washington's move is. Despite Rwanda's vehement denials, and a delay in publication, its staunchest ally and international defender is acknowledging a controversial UN report linking Kigali to the new M23 rebel movement.
After the fierce inter-ethnic wars of the 1990s and years of instability, the last thing the citizens of strife-torn Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) needed was increased violence. But that is exactly what they have faced since April this year, when Congolese soldiers led by General Bosco Ntaganda – 'the Terminator' – deserted. The hundreds of soldiers who exited the army during the mutiny were former members of the rebel CNDP (Congrès National Pour la Défense du Peuple) who had only joined the force three years earlier, as part of a peace deal in 2009. Like the government in Rwanda, they are mainly ethnic Tutsis. Read the rest of this entry »
Another (small) leap forward for the yuan
Posted: 20/07/2012 Filed under: Asia Pacific, Geo-economics, Suvi Dogra | Tags: ADB, China, renminbi, RMB, second global reserve currency, yuan Leave a commentBy Suvi Dogra, Research and Liaison Officer, Geo-economics and Strategy Programme
China's yuan renminbi took another small step towards becoming a staple global currency earlier this week, when the directors of the Asian Development Bank decided to include the RMB and the Indian rupee in its programme for providing trade finance. The ADB has agreed to support deals denominated in these local currencies under its Trade Finance Programme (TFP), primarily to support growing intra-regional trade.

After two frustrating years at Renault, Alonso pounded his chest after jumping on top of his car as Ferrari got off to its best start since 2004 - when Schumacher led a 1-2 start. He replaced Kimi Raikkonen, who also won on his Ferrari debut three years ago.
"A very special day for me, coming back to the top of the podium is always special, but also more special with Ferrari and the history of the team and the expectations," Alonso said. "There is no better way to start the relationship."
Massa passed Vettel soon after to claim second on his return to racing after a life-threatening crash last July in Hungary. Lewis Hamilton overtook Vettel at the same spot as the McLaren driver finished third ahead of his Red Bull opponent.
Nico Rosberg was more than 40 seconds behind Alonso in fifth place. Mercedes teammate Michael Schumacher, who started seventh, was sixth in his first race in three years.
Alonso and Ferrari confirmed their preseason expectations as title favourites after the two-time champion's 22nd career victory. It was Alonso's third win at the Middle East track but first since 2006 - when he won his last title.
Alonso worked his way up behind Vettel, who had won four of his six previous races from pole, to set up his pass at the final corner before the finish line straight.
"I was waiting for the time to attack Vettel - maybe the last 10 laps - but suddenly he had a car problem and we had a chance to overtake him earlier than we expected," Alonso said after his first victory since the 2008 Japanese GP. "(It's) a fantastic sensation."
Massa pulled up to Vettel on the same stretch before going around last year's championship runner-up at the first corner, where Hamilton passed the German driver four laps later. Massa had to lay up over the last 30 laps to save fuel and his tires.
"I'm very happy. It's also the best start of my season," Massa said. "I rode through the race normal(ly), with very good pace. Thanks to God, I'm fine - and very happy."
Schumacher's new team, Mercedes, showed it still has some work to do to provide him with a car worthy of an eighth title. Schumacher finished 3.9 seconds behind Rosberg.
Defending champion Jenson Button finished seventh for McLaren, while Mark Webber of Red Bull was eighth.
Tonio Liuzzi of Force India and Rubens Barrichello of Williams rounded out the top 10 to finish in the points following a change in the scoring system.
Ferrari changed both of its engines without penalty before the start as a precaution, but there was little caution from Alonso as the Spaniard held the inside position to pass Massa into second after a relatively clean start from the 22 cars on the grid. Rosberg jumped in front of Hamilton with Schumacher behind him after getting ahead of Webber, whose engine spewed smoke to blind Renault's Robert Kubica and Adrian Sutil of Force India. Those two spun out in the confusion to drop out of the top 10.
Karun Chandhok's debut ended after two laps after he and Hispania Racing teammate Bruno Senna started from pit lane. Virgin Racing's Lucas Di Grassi was out one lap later soon after Williams' Nico Hulkenberg recovered from a wild spin across the track.
Virgin Racing failed to finish after Timo Glock also retired. The leading drivers didn't begin to pit until lap 16, when Russian driver Vitaly Petrov's Renault retired with a front suspension problem.
Vettel was the last to change to hard tires - after 17 laps - in the hot desert heat for a 3.5-second gap over Alonso, who was four seconds ahead of Massa. Vettel's lead narrowed to 2.6 seconds by the halfway point. Alonso eventually edged Massa by 16 seconds.
Senna's HRT car lasted 18 laps before its Cosworth engine blew out with the Spanish team failing to complete the race after almost not making the starting grid. Lotus was the only new team to finish with Heikki Kovalainen and Jarno Trulli filling the last two places.
Sauber driver Pedro De la Rosa's return after three years as a McLaren test driver ended after when he retired after 29 laps.

80% of Fort Lauderdale reviewers said Eyelid Surgery was worth it
"59 Year Old Female Extremely Pleased..."
I was tired of having people tell me I looked tired when I wasn't tired at all. My upper lids were sagging and my eyes looked sad and tired. The skin below my lower lids had some wrinkles and crepiness. After thinking about getting an upper bleph for over 5 years, I finally decided to do something about it. My fear of a possible bad outcome and going under anesthesia is what kept holding me... more
"Dr. Digeronimo, Be Very Very Careful..."
About five plus years ago the Dr. Decided to put a material called evolence under my eyes. Without my knowledge that it wasn't supposed to be put there, he did. He told me the only way to fix it was to do a blepheroplasty. It messed up my looks and my eyes, finally I let him try to fix it and it is like I'm living a nightmare. One eye is big, and pulling down. My eyes constantly tear to the... more
"Great Blepharoplasty Experience -..."
I'm a 66 yr old female who has been looking at droopy eyelids for many years. I avoided photos being taken and hated looking at an ever aging face...not normal aging but looking OLD and angry all the time. Saggy breasts didn't bother me, too much stomach fat didn't bother me, and even jowls didn't bother me the way my hanging eyelids did. I had been reading RealSelf for many months and... more
"Amazing Difference! - Boca Raton, FL..."
I decided to do upper eyelid surgery because puffy upper eyelids run in my family, and even though it just started to be an issue for me, I knew it would only get worse. I researched for a year and a half before selecting a doctor and doing the procedure. Amazing results! Not only do I feel like he "restored" my eyelids, I feel like the surgery left my eyes better than ever. I am posting... more
"Upper Lower Eyelid surgery Aventura, FL"
I met Dr Hochstein when he just was taking over a practice in Hollywood and he always did a great job on my fillers. Then I booked the surgery for the chin implant and lipo. Now this week I have booked an upper lower eyelid at 46 and am very hopeful he will do the same high quality standard and professionalism he gave me back then. I travelled from Hawaii just to see him. Here's my progress... more
"37, Looking Desperate for Sleep! -..."
Since my late 20s I have heard comment after comment about how tired I look or how I need a good vacation or a good night's sleep. I was unhappy with constantly agreeing, even though I had just had a good 11 hours of sleep! It's hard to tell an acquaintance, co-worker, friend (or my grandmother) "no, I slept great, I just have a genetic predisposition to under eye bags". How do they... more
"Upper and Lower Bleph "Eye Lid..."
I have wanted this done for a long time now, because I have always had puffy lower lids. I had a gastric sleeve earlier this year and have lost right at 60 lbs now. With the drastic weight loss my skin on my face has become more loose and droopy so my eyes have become more pronounced with the excess skin and puffiness. I thought it was time to do something about it, because all the cosmetic... more
"Lower Lid Pinch Review - Fort..."
1. Done under local anesthesia, which brings the cost down but also means that you hear everything: the skin cutting, the cauterizing. It takes about one hour per eye. 2. My surgeon also relocated fat pads; it makes sense to do this at the same time, and is a straight-forward cut and tuck. But, this means that instead of just a skin pinch, you have your lower lid skin stretched and trauma... more
"Only 3 Days In.... -Fort Lauderdale, FL"
On Friday sept 6th I had upper and lower blepharoplasty with DR.John Michael Thomassen...This was something I never thought I'd do but after seeing pictures of myself at a wedding ..I couldn't believe how puffy my eyes looked !! AND it did not go away!! I found Dr.T on groupon..I fell in love with HIM his STAFF and the whole idea of getting BLEPHAROPLASTY !!! it was truly a wonderful... more
"Dr. Felder is Amazing!!!! - Fort..."
Dr. Felder had performed eyelid surgery on a friend of mine, and the outcome was so natural that I definitely wanted to get my eyelids done with him. The down time was 3 days, and I got no bruising and very little swelling. The results are amazing - I look Iike myself, but 10 years younger. Thank you, Dr. Felder. more
"Turning 45 and Need a Bleph to Look..."
I met with Dr. Thomassen a few months ago to discuss my eyes and what his views are on surgery for me. He recommended a I wait a bit so that the surgery would be most productive. I really appreciated the consultations with Dr. Thomassen he was very thorough and took his time with me to explain the surgery and the benefits. I am looking forward to the procedure in March and will post pics -... more
"Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty -..."
I had both upper/lower bleph done last week, 10 days today. I read alot before , specially on realself and it was very informative and prepared me very well for pre and post surgery. In my opinion, the outcome depends on many factor...First of all , you have to expect to look really bad for the next few days following your surgery or so, or week....When i read the comments, people seem... more
"Eyelid Surgery and Fullface Laser...."
I had upper eyelid surgery and a fullface laser with Total FX laser about a year ago with Dr. Felder, in Fort Lauderdale. I am soooo very happy with the results. The laser was not very painful afterward and healed pretty quickly. The upper lids took a couple weeks for the swelling to go down, but now look like I was born with them! more
"Upper eye lid surgery was best..."
I felt my eye lids looked tired and made me look older. Couldn't wear mascara. It was like I had a hood on my eyes. It was the final peace to the "aging" puzzle. After my recovery from lipo, fat grafting and the tightening of my arm pits, I decided to add eye lid surgery to the mix. Call me crazy! I was assured that this procedure would be painless and easy. So, I must say it... more
"Eyelid Surgery - Fort Lauderdale, FL"
I'm in my early fourties and upper eyelids were drooping, wanted to look a little refreshed. He left me scars an uneven cuts. Scars are visible, horrible experience. more
"Excellent Blepharoplasty - Delray..."
Heavy Upper Eyelids and Big Bags Under Eyes. Performed upper and lower blepharoplasty on me 2 months ago. The results are amazing. People say I look so much younger but that can't figure out why. more
"Unhappy About Bleph Under Eyes"
I had a blepharoplasty done about 2 years ago to reduce the saggy skin from under my eyes which I felt made me look much older than I felt. The procedure was done under local anaesthesia, which turned out to be very painful.Although I had the standard post-op visits and applied the cold compresses etc., my face became quite swollen about a couple of weeks after surgery, and the swelling... more
"Eyelid Surgery Has Altered the Shape..."
I wanted to do this surgery because I was tired of looking "tired". The pros were that the "bags" under my eyes are gone. The con is that I feel like my eye shape has changed and I'm not sure if this is for good.Will this change the shape of my eye? It has been 5 weeks and my eyes look round. more

Bombay Online - A Mixed Bag
Sep 26, 2002 (Updated Sep 27, 2002)
Customer Service:
On-Time Delivery:
Full Review
Having exceeded the national debt on my
credit card, I am quite familiar with both their website in particular, and the company in general. This is a fact that grates on Nick to a very large degree. heh. Indeed, much of our house is decorated with Bombay items..from furniture to knick-knacks...(and don't let his gruffness fool you, his office is done entirely in Bombay office furniture!)
The Look
The online store is not bad, visualy. It could be much better. A major plus is the avoidance of frames. I detest frames. Thank for that much Bombay! The downside is, I think this is due to a lack of experience by the web developer, not because they were wanting to be nice. heh.
The site is done in subdues tones, making it very easy on the eyes. The menu is on the left as with most sites, with various categories such as furniture, wall decor, and accessories. It used to be that when you moused-over something in the side menu, a drop-down box appeared...and the game began! Can you click on your desired category before the drop-down changes? Ah-ha! There was the rub. Thank heavens they finally fixed that! Now when you click your desired link, it takes you to a new menu listing more specific items.. ie, chair, sofa, table, etc. Much more user-friendly!
What's There
The front page will usually show you what is currently for sale. Great deals here, my friends! For instance, the
Bowfront Chest
, which normally sells for $500, is currently on sale at the website for $369. We own this item and it is worth every penny. The website sells much of what you will find in their brick-n-mortar stores, and then some. Online you also get the benefit of browsing thru the outlet selections, and the relatively new
Bombay Kids
So what does Bombay Co offer, anyway? Well.. lots of stuff! They have been compared to
Pier 1 Imports
, but I don't agree with that at all. Bombay is
sort of
a furniture store, with extras. Many items in their line are exclusive... made specifically for them alone. The furniture is very well made and durable. The crystal pieces are exquisitely cut. You can find lamps, desks, chairs, beds, dressers, games, clocks, candles, wicker baskets.. too many items to mention here! All of Bombay's items are high quality.
Returns are very easy. You do not have to bother with repacking anything as the physical store nearest you will accept returns for on-line purchases. Keep your packing slip! Bombay's return policy is 30 days with a receipt. Now I'm going to tell you a secret....promise not to tell? OK.. come here... (pssst.. Bombay's policy is absolute customer satisfaction and they WILL take back items over 30 days if there is something wrong with it, ie surface separation on a furniture piece). In fact, the furniture is guaranteed for life against manufacturer defect. Keep those receipts!
Your return will be refunded in the manner you paid, less shipping charges. If you used your Visa, the credit will go back to your Visa. They Accept Visa, MC, American Express, and of course thier own Bombay Card. If you lose your receipt/packing slip, you will be offered a store credit at the lowest rate within the last 6 months. This holds for both on-line purchases and physical store purchases.
Customer Service
While email may not be the best form of communication with Bombay, they do supply an 800 number. I suggest you use the number if you have any problems at all. In fact, if you bought something on-line (or at the store for that matter) and are just dying for something to match, call them! They are fantastic at suggestions and tracking down any item that they may not feature on-line. Bombay truelly will go that extra mile for their customers.
OK.. why the 3 stars then?
One star was lost due to Shipping, which is 8% of the item price on furniture pieces. Pure and simple. My advice is to browse on-line, call the nearest store, and have them hold the item or order it for you to pick up there. Shipping is outrageous! If you were to order the
Queen size four-poster bed
online, you will pay a minimum of $150 in shipping charges. You can rent a u-haul and a coupla cases of beer for the guys you hire to lift it for half that. Especially buy art work at the physical store as these items are a great shipping risk. Smaller items, such as gift sets, are priced about average compared to other internet stores, shipping-wise, so you are pretty safe to go ahead and order those on-line.
The other star was lost because of the outrageous interest rate on their credit card, which can be applied for at the on-line store. We're talking almost 23% here. That is insane! Not to mention that Bombay has changed banks 3 times in the last couple of years, with each bank re-issuing a new card..or making customers re-apply for a new card. This is very irritating.
Last Thoughts
Bombay items have almost become a fashion statement. People recognize the line when they see it..with good reason. It is top quality. This is an awesome company to deal with. Just be sure to weigh all your options once you decide what it is you wish to buy. That sale on the website may not be such a good deal once you figure in the shipping costs..

Tony Hawk knows a trick or two on them there wheelie boards. That's probably why he got a whole line of games bearing his name. And, following the release of his latest title, Tony conducted an interview with Eurogamer to discuss the new game and, more interesting to us Wii-loving folk, the new Wii Fit peripheral and Channel coming from Nintendo. As if you didn't think about its use for skateboarding titles yourself ...
So, Tony thinks it could be done, using the Wii Fit board as a control device for his game. "I think it's possible to incorporate the Wii Fit board into one of our games, but it would change the control scheme dramatically and we'd have to figure out how to make that work," he comments, further adding "So I don't know yet."
While we'd argue that performing ollies and navigating a skater's route in the environment could easily be done with the device, we wonder if we would have the ability to successfully bust big chains using the Wiimote in combination with the board, as we can easily do so with a more traditional controller setup.

A trio of steeplechasers --- each with Camden connections --- were named as the three finalists for the 2012 Eclipse Award for steeplechasing.
The annual South Carolina Thoroughbred Owners' and Breeders' Association will hold its annual awards dinner on Saturday, Jan. 12 at the Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center on Broad St. in Camden.
Even though it is the first week of January, there is no such thing as it being too early to think about the spring and the Carolina Cup Steeplechase Races.
Every Way celebrated the final day of her 2-year-old campaign by ending the old year with a victory.
Stephen Pitcher Groat, a devoted steeplechase official and the presiding steward at last month's 43rd running of the Marion duPont Scott Colonial Cup steeplechase races, died Tuesday after a long and courageous battle against cancer. He was 67.
was one of two members who were re-elected to the National Steeplechase Association Board of Directors, along with two current directors who were re-elected. Results of the balloting were announced at the NSA's annual meeting in Camden, on Nov. 16.
There were several reasons for the Wooten family to give thanks last Thursday, not the least of which were the recent showings of several of their stables' graduates on the race course.
It was called, by many in the horse racing industry, the most anticipated maiden race in the history of the sport.
Maybe, there's more to having horse sense than people give it credit for.
This time, Matt McCarron said, there will be no turning back.
Nobody blinked.
Saturday's 43rd running of the Marion duPont Scott Colonial Cup is more than just about the racing on the Springdale Race Course.
Experience the thrill of the greatest timber race in the world as the National Steeplechase Museum presents a photo exhibition of the past 20 winners of the Maryland Hunt Cup on Friday evening at a Colonial Cup eve reception and book signing at the National Steeplechase Museum.
Over Creek Stables' Arrakis surged to the lead before the final fence and drew away to a 5 3/4-length victory under Roddy Mackenzie in the $25,000 Charleston Cup, feature race of the 19th annual Charleston Cup Steeplechase in South Carolina on Sunday.
I (Camden, S.C.) sports editor
Two more horses with Camden connections will try and stay on the Kentucky Derby trail when they go head-to-head in Saturday's $400,000 San Felipe Stakes (Gr. II) at Santa Anita Park.
With three weeks and a day to go before the 2015 Carolina Cup Steeplechase Races in Camden, reserved parking spaces are starting to fill up.
Three Kershaw County teenagers have brought home the Zone 4 Region 4 High School Championship along with their team, Creekside Farm, under the direction of Adrian Mack and Emma Phillips.
Previous year's box seat and reserved parking space holders have until Friday, Feb. 13, to secure their spaces for the 2015 Carolina Cup Steeplechase Races in Camden.
Even though the calendar just turned to January and cold weather is on the way, it is not too early to be thinking about the warmer days of spring.
