Databases for Free
Anywhere data needs to be stored and organized, a database is needed. Sid shows what's available.
by Sid Wentworth
In addition to needing an operating system, some embedded systems will need a structure for organizing data. In this article I discuss various ways of storing and retrieving data. Where appropriate, I include references to free packages that may be what you need.
UNIX, on which Linux is based, has a long history of supporting relatively fast, highly reliable filesystems. While Linux filesystems are not directly based on the UNIX ones, Linux does offer reliable storage options.
The default Linux filesystem, called ext2, has been in service for about eight years. While there have been some minor enhancements during that time, the basic structure remains the same and reliability has never been questioned.
The one disadvantage of the ext2 filesystem is that after a system crash, it is necessary to run a check program to repair any possible damage. This increases system startup (boot) time and, if there is severe damage, could require manual input. This problem is not unique to Linux file systems but is something you should be aware of.
An alternative type of filesystem is called a journaling filesystem. In this filesystem, a transaction log is maintained so that the filesystem itself can perform recovery rather than requiring an external program. Such a filesystem was added to UNIX system V about ten years ago. The Reiser filesystem, a type of journaling filesystem, recently became available for Linux. It is, however, relatively new, so we don't have a good history of reliability yet.
Now, on to specific approaches for data storage and retrieval. All these methods will run on top of whichever Linux filesystem you select.
The most basic way to store data is to save it in regular files. These files are commonly called flat files because there is no indexing information available. You must read the file sequentially to search for a particular datum.
UNIX systems have included what are called DBM routines. While not precisely a database, DBM provides a handy method for storage and retrieval of data using access keys.
Just to make things a little confusing, you will be able to find libraries called dbm, ndbm, gdbm and db. Rather than offer an exhaustive list of options, I address one specific alternative: the Berkeley DB. Originally from the BSD version of UNIX, Berkeley DB is available as a commercial product from Sleepycat Software.
Before you reach for your wallet, let me explain what commercial means here. Sleepycat makes Berkeley DB available at no charge, including source code, if you use the software internally only or if you make your marketed product's source code freely available. If you find this licensing scheme unpalatable, look into ndbm. It may be a better choice for you.
Back to Berkeley DB. What it is not is a relational database package. It is, in fact, a C-callable set of functions that allow you to store and retrieve key/value pairs. These key/value pairs can be pretty much anything you want (that is, any data type and any length up to 2<+>32<+> bytes), which gives you the flexibility to do what you want. Additional features include the ability to have multiple databases; keyed and sequential access to records; memory-mapped, read-only databases; and record locking.
You can download the whole package from the Sleepycat web site, http://www.sleepycat.com/. What you will find included are three packages, the data store, concurrent data store and transactional data store.
As we move through this list, we get more features, but that means more code space and more overhead. The basic data store only offers support for one writer and multiple readers. The concurrent data store adds support for multiple writers, while the transactional data store adds locking options and the code necessary to handle hot backups and disaster recovery. Again, the right choice depends on your application.
While the native language of Berkeley DB is C, interface libraries have been built for other programming languages including Perl, Python and Tcl.
If you still need more capabilities, open-source relational databases are available. Relational databases allow you to store data in uniform structures called tables. Each table has rows and columns. Each row represents one data set or record, and each column represents a particular field within the record. For example, a table of your friends might have their name, phone number and date of birth. The table might look like the one shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Example of Relational Database Table
The power of relational databases comes when you create multiple tables and are then able to associate them using a common column in each table. This operation is called a join. For example, let's say you had a second table that contained your friends' names and their e-mail addresses (see Table 2).
Table 2. Example Table for join
By performing a join operation on these two tables and selecting the Name, Phone and E-mail columns from the result, you could produce a list containing these three columns. While this is a very basic look at what a relational database is, I expect you get the idea of where this could lead.
All that is the good news. The bad news is that in order to realize the power of a relational database you have to learn a query language. The most popular of these languages is SQL, which stands for structured query language. Originally developed by IBM, ANSI and the International Standards Organization (ISO) published SQL standards in 1986 and 1987. Subsequent standards have been a joint effort of ANSI and ISO.
Besides entering SQL statements yourself to access data, applications program interfaces (APIs) are available for most other programming languages that allow you to access SQL databases.
One important capability of a relational database is called a transaction, which allows you to identify a set of database updates that are to be treated as one event. That is, you can be assured that either all of them will be performed or none of them performed. For example, in an accounting application, you need to guarantee that a debit is performed only if the related credit is also performed.
Unlike Berkeley DB, most relational databases contain separate client and server parts. What this means is that rather than linking the database system code with your program (like Berkeley DB), you only link with the client. The client code then uses a communications protocol such as TCP/IP to communicate with the server.
The advantage of this client/server approach is that you need not run the client and the server on the same computer system. Thus, this approach scales well. The disadvantage is the additional overhead of supporting the communications protocol. Again, the right choice will depend on your application.

From A Compendium of Irish Biography, 1878
« Archbishop Adam Loftus | Index | James Logan »
Loftus, Dudley, writer and publicist, son of Sir Adam Loftus, was born at his father's castle (built by his great-grandfather Archbishop Loftus) at Rathfarnham, near Dublin, about 1618. He took his degree of B.A. at Trinity College, and finished his studies at Oxford, being incorporated Bachelor of Arts in 1639. Returning to Ireland after the breaking out of the War of 1641, he for a time held command at Rathfarnham, and defended Dublin from the incursions of the Irish of the Wick low mountains. He was afterwards made a Master in Chancery, Vicar-General of Ireland, and a Judge of the Prerogative Court. Ware says: "His greatest excellence lay in the knowledge of the tongues, so that by the time he was twenty years of age he was able to translate as many languages into English.
Yet, notwithstanding his learning, he was accounted an improvident and unwise person, and his many levities and want of conduct gave the world too much reason to think so. They gave occasion to a very satyrical reflection made by a great but free-spoken prelate, who was well acquainted with him, viz.: 'That he never knew so much learning in the keeping of a fool.' "His mind became much impaired with years; when seventy-six he married a second wife, and died the following year, June 1695. He was buried in St. Patrick's Cathedral. Part of his large collection of books is now in Marsh's Library. Both Harris's Ware and Wood's Athenae Oxonienses give a list of his writings, some thirty in number. The most important were in Latin — many being commentaries on the Scriptures and philosophical works translated from Syriac into Latin.

Popular Rhymes and Sayings of Ireland
In Popular Rhymes and Sayings of Ireland (first published in 1924) John J. Marshall examines the origin of a variety of rhymes and sayings that were at one time in vogue around different parts of the country, including those which he recalled from his own childhood in County Tyrone. Numerous riddles, games and charms are recounted, as well as the traditions of the 'Wren Boys' and Christmas Rhymers. Other chapters describe the war cries of prominent Irish septs and the names by which Ireland has been personified in literature over the centuries.
The book is also available as a Kindle download.
Annals of the Famine in Ireland
Annals of the Famine in Ireland, by Asenath Nicholson, still has the power to shock and sadden even though the events described are ever-receding further into the past. When you read, for example, of the poor widowed mother who was caught trying to salvage a few potatoes from her landlord's field, and what the magistrate discovered in the pot in her cabin, you cannot help but be appalled and distressed.
The ebook is available for download in .mobi (Kindle), .epub (iBooks, etc.) and .pdf formats. For further information on the book and author see details ».
Ireland's Welcome to the Stranger
This book, the prequel to Annals of the Famine in Ireland cannot be recommended highly enough to those interested in Irish social history. The author, Mrs Asenath Nicholson, travelled from her native America to assess the condition of the poor in Ireland during the mid 1840s. Refusing the luxury of hotels and first class travel, she stayed at a variety of lodging-houses, and even in the crude cabins of the very poorest. Not to be missed!
The ebook is available for download in .mobi (Kindle), .epub (iBooks, etc.) and .pdf formats. For further information on the book and author see details ».
Henry Ford Jones' book, first published in 1915 by Princeton University, is a classic in its field. It covers the history of the Scotch-Irish from the first settlement in Ulster to the American Revolutionary period and the foundation of the country.

New Brug Book - Amazing!
In the spring of 2011, Keriann asked for a recommendation for books on Brugs. I just got the much anticipated new book titled HUANDUJ: Brugmansia
This is THE definitive Brug book...over 400 pages (and nearly 4.5 pounds), it thorougly covers the history of Brugs, their medicinal and shamanist uses by the indigenous peoples of S. America, as well as in-depth information about the cultural and ornamental aspects of today's 1800+ hybrids. Altho a lot of scientific information is presented, the style in which it's written makes it a very enjoyable read.
No other book can touch this one for the amount of information, quality of printing or number of beautiful, richly colored photos. It may be a bit of a splurge for some budgets, it is not over-priced when you see what it contains and it's excellent quality.
A book store might order it for you, but I know it's available from Amazon.com. If you own this book, you will probably want to display it as a coffee table book that your guests can OOOH & AAAAH over. I consider mine an ablsolute treasure.

Every Filipino, they say, has a Tito Boy. And I'm one of the many to have two—one on each side of the family.
We don't call my paternal "Tito Boy" by that moniker, however. We call him "Ninong Boy" instead.

To this day that's how we in the family refer to him. Continue reading Eulogy

"The Signal and the Noise," by Nate Silver, discusses various ways to use data in forecasting.
When statistician and predictive analytics expert Nate Silver speaks, people pay attention.
After he successfully predicted the outcome of the presidential election in 49 of 50 states in 2008 and all 50 in 2012, his star has grown almost as fast the unread messages in his e-mail inbox -- more than 99,000 in a recent image he posted to Twitter.
Media outlets crowned Silver the real winner in November, with the triumphant success of his data-based predictive model in the face of critical go-by-the-gut pundits that he had claimed all along weren't much more accurate than a coin-flip.
Silver, an East Lansing, Mich., native, made the same assertion in his latest book, "The Signal and the Noise: Why so Many Predictions Fail – But Some Don't", which quickly became a New York Times bestseller after its September 2012 publication.
In it, he describes a range of forecasters, including enigmatic poker players and the supercomputer-based big-data models used by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that recently nailed the path of Hurricane Sandy five days before it struck land.
Somewhere along the way, Silver has helped make data cool. Political junkies hailed it, news outlets lauded it and some pundits weren't too happy about it. Yet data is everywhere – IBM says 2.5 quintillion bytes of it are created every day – even if corporations and federal agencies are still in the early stages of making sense of "big data," the massive data sets too large to process via traditional methods.
Hidden in these vast data sets are insights that could help agencies solve big problems, but in an interview with FCW, Silver said the "big data" era will only be successful if the government is willing to evolve with it.
"In some cases, the government has the best data in the world, but not always the ability to use it," Silver said, speaking with FCW prior to delivering a keynote speech at the Feb. 12 Adobe Government Assembly.
"The governments that are willing to evolve with it will benefit, certainly," Silver said. "But there is no end-point to big data."
If big data is to become a standard tool by which the government operates, aging legacy IT systems will have to modernize. This is no small feat, given that 70 percent of the federal government's $79 billion IT budget in 2011 was spent on maintaining existing systems. Many federal systems still run Common Business-Oriented Language (COBOL), a programming language developed in 1959, ten years before NASA put a man on the moon.
But perhaps the biggest obstacle required before big data becomes a big staple in the government's IT arsenal is peoples' "goals and attitudes," Silver said.
Old-hat policies need to change – Silver later told feds at the conference that "bureaucracy is the enemy of imagination," to smiles and knowing glances around the room. Changing policies means changing people's beliefs about what big data is and what it might do.
Big data is not a cure-all, and it is inherently filled with noise and uncertainty, but it does have tremendous potential if people approach if the right way. "The world is not lacking for techniques, it's more about the right goals and right attitudes," Silver said.
Data-based statistical prediction has been changing the way people think since Bayes' Theorem – named after English mathematician Thomas Bayes – was published in the early 1800s. As Silver notes in his book, the expression forever linked science, probability and prediction. It basically states the world follows predictable laws and that the more data you have, the closer you are to a full picture of reality – and better predictions – which contrasted with most people's views of divinity at the time.
But since we can collect more data than ever before, shouldn't big data reduce uncertainty?
Not likely, Silver said.
There isn't any more truth in the world than there was before the Internet or the printing press. Most of the data is just noise, as most of the universe is filled with empty space. -- Nate Silver in "The Signal and the Noise."
Generating trillions of relationships between variables does not necessarily generate any more meaningful relationships between them. If you flush your toilet in Washington, D.C. and it rains in Australia, you can use supercomputers to look for connections and you might even find some, but it doesn't mean those events are linked in any meaningful way.
"It's okay to fail," said Silver, who recently flopped himself, erroneously picking the San Francisco 49ers as the winners over the Baltimore Ravens in the 2013 Super Bowl. "It's okay to fail as long as you learn."
Big data predictions may be more apt to fail than those based on smaller data sets, but just like hitting the lottery, the payoffs can be enormous.
In November, NOAA's big-data based supercomputers took in data from polar-orbiting satellites, weather buoys and Gulfstream-IV and P-3 jets to churn out high-resolution computer models of Hurricane Sandy's path every six hours for several days before the storm landed. Residents in the storm's path had ample warning, and though more than 100 people died, without big data the net loss of life would have been far higher.
"If Hurricane Sandy happened 20 years back, it would almost certainly have been a disaster without much warning," Dr. Sundararaman Gopalakrishnan, a senior meteorologist at NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory in Miami, told FCW at the time.
Even in its infancy, big data is changing the way agencies perform. The Department of Health and Human Services is changing the way it responds to disasters and the Department of Defense's global shared service center has implemented a big-dated based business activity monitoring software tool that has so far detected $4 billion in improper payments.
Silver's rising star as a data wiz has helped show the importance of data in predicting and shaping the future to the masses. While he is likely to continue political predictions at his New York Times-affiliated FiveThirtyEight.com through the 2016 election, Silver said he plans to expand its focus to other categories.
Sports for sure, he said – Silver first made a name for himself developing a sabermetric system for monitoring Major League Baseball player performance in the early 2000s. (A sabermetric system is an analytics tool that measures the performance of baseball players' statistics.) He'd also like to "broaden the scope a bit" by delving into topics like economics, and perhaps health and education. Even entertainment is fair game -- on Feb. 22 Silver made predictions for the Oscar awards that were announced Feb. 24, and went four-for-six on his picks.
Where the federal government goes with big data is perhaps less clear, but tough choices will have to be made. There will never be a time, Silver said, when "Pressing a button solves all our problems."
"One thing data doesn't do is tell you what your goals ought to be," Silver said. "You still have to think about what to accomplish. Data is not a substitute for judgments you have to make."

David Bowie
There's a brand new talk...
Wherever you are in the world, don't forget to tune in to The Jonathan Ross Show on BBC Radio 2 tomorrow morning from 10.00AM London time. As Blammo told us last week (07/25/03 NEWS: LISTEN TO THE J R SHOW ON SATURDAY MORNING and 07/28/03 NEWS: DB REMEMBERS RICK WAKEMAN AND HUNKY DORY):
Jonathan announced the wonderful news that he has the world-wide exclusive first play of New Killer Star, and a live phone-in from David. Expect the phone-in during the last hour of the show.
You can listen to the show online, here.
Time flies when you're having fun...
The BowieNet News Archive for July 2003 is now live - and what a great month it was. :)
You can read the summary of events by going to the 2003 BowieNet News Summary page or you can check out the whole of July by clicking on the screen grab above.
Have fun.
Hope the weather's good and it's not too hot, For me...
I'm shortly off on another annual family holiday, Italy again, but Sorrento this time. As I said last time, don't let my absence deter any of you who were thinking of posting me foreign magazines, or any other Bowie-related goodies, as my long-suffering sister will be house-sitting again... and she enjoys the early alarm call from the Postie!
The news will be left in the more-than-capable hands of Spaceface, with a bit of help from Susans... and you should contact Spaceface if you have any news-worthy snippets.
Dressing down for the NME...
The occasional reader of NME may be puzzled by the above picture story in the Gossip section of this week's NME. The top story in a column called Plus Ones next to the picture story will have done nothing to clear the confusion:
Keen Gossip viewers will be aware that David Bowie was on holiday last week. What was he up to? We'll tell you: watching Blur in New York, along with The Strokes. Which is all well and good, but The Strokes have never been immortalised in a hilarious comic strip, have they? Still, perhaps it's only a matter of time...
Well, keen BowieNet

Jesus Cares For Little Ones Who Leave Too Soon... - Ministry Videos
Embed church-ga-statesboro-church-in-the-boro 3508 views 2008-03-17T00:00:00 When Shanna was about seven months old, I learned through the church "grape vine" of a very sick child related to one of our families. The little girl was born on March 14, 2004 and died on March 28. This hit me doubly hard. First, survivor guilt because my little girl was still with me, but I realized afresh how fragile life is. Secondly, March 29th that year marked the second annivesary of my Dad's death at 73.

Five Lessons on Loving Your Enemies
By Jason Hines — Because of situations in my own life I have been repeatedly returning to the concept of loving your enemies. I have wrestled with this issue publicly (I have preached a sermon on this subject twice) and at times in this space, but I have yet to share here my spiritual thoughts on the issue. The best place to begin is with the words of Christ. In Matthew 5:43–48 (NASB) Jesus says,
Gen 31 we see an uncle and a nephew, a father-in-law and a son-in-law at odds with each other. In 1 Sam 24, we have a mentor and a mentee, as well as a father-in-law and a son-in– law at odds with each other in Saul and David. The animosity between Jesus and Judas is told to us in Matt 26. Of course this is Jesus with one of the 12 people he shared his ministry with. How quick we are to forsake the love we once had switch to hate.

Well the old gestures are also aimed at Windows 8 (e.g. window handling [snap, maximize, minimize, Exposé,...]) - unless you're using Metro all the time I'd always go with those gestures...

Ireland will survive, but it won't be because of the austerity policies. No one ever recovered an economy by breaking it further. Ireland will survive because we are an indomitable, creative, maverick people. However, we are being let down so very badly by our leaders who refuse to call to account those who lead our country into debt, who prop up the banks on all fronts and who cannot see or do not care about the thousands of families suffering with debt.
It is ironic that our very own Becket said "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better." as we are being punished by our own.

under cab lighting and wireing
In my build, the GC never talked with the light supplier as to my wants. As it is, the GC wired for fluorescent lights. Xenon would work as well.They have 120v romex coming out of the walls for each length of cab wired to one switch so they could direct connect the fixtures. I was talking with the light guy about LED which required a different wire scheme.Back splash is up so too late to rewire without lots of cost. That would be my cost not the GC. (too long a story)
Im looking for dimmable lights and am concerned of the heat from xenon. I may try to retrofit LED later on. Any advice? Is there a way to install LED with the current config with the romex coming through the wall and backsplash?
How is the heat issue outside the cab like at counter level and such? I read a coffee maker can be melted to a degree under a cab light. Easy to burn hands?
There are a number of direct wire led strips today which are quite good. I would consider the Philips eW profile power core. Other choices inc max lite, talea, kichler... In no particular order

A Radioactive Challenge: Preventing Nuclear Terrorism
January 2011
Editor's Note: A new series of feature articles in think. will examine the main themes of the three issue areas on which the Stanley Foundation focuses its programming—global leadership, nuclear material security, and genocide prevention. Each article will lay out the concerns, international trends and dynamics, and underlying reasoning on which our approach and advocacy are based. We will also strive to inspire you to learn more, take action, and work with us as we push for better US and global policies that lead to a secure peace.
Nuclear terrorism. The words make one shudder when thinking of the implications of such an act. The world's leaders say nuclear terrorism is the greatest threat we face—with good reason. In September 2009, Mohammed ElBaradei, near the end of his 12 years as director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said, "The gravest threat faced by the world is of an extremist group getting hold of nuclear weapons or materials."
There are clear indications that Al Qaeda has been actively seeking nuclear weapons for years. There's ample evidence, including a statement from the man himself, that Osama bin Laden is seeking and would use a nuclear weapon. We also know that Pakistani scientist A.Q. Khan and his network sold nuclear secrets worldwide. There are regular media reports about smuggling incidents that seem to indicate a black market for weapons-usable nuclear material.
The explosion of one crude nuclear bomb in any major city would change the world forever. Not only could it cause death on a mass scale, but it could also trigger global economic disruption, environmental degradation, and a wider conflict requiring a military response. According to nuclear security expert Matthew Bunn at Harvard University, "a 10-kiloton bomb (equivalent explosive power to 10,000 tons of TNT and modestly smaller than the Hiroshima bomb) detonated in midtown Manhattan in the middle of workday could kill half a million people and cause $1 trillion in direct economic damage."
Admittedly, experts don't agree on how high the odds are that a nuclear bomb will be detonated in the next ten years. Some say it's as low as 1 percent and others say it's as high as 50 percent. But even if there's little chance of it, working to eliminate the threat is an investment well made by world leaders.
There has been a serious effort to scoop up and lock down the world's nuclear materials since the end of the Cold War. Yet nearly 20 years later, we are far from having all of the materials secure. And we are at risk of them falling into the wrong hands.
The easiest way to prevent a nuclear attack by terrorists is to make sure they don't acquire weapons-usable nuclear material. There are two types of material they could use to build a nuclear bomb—highly enriched uranium (HEU) or plutonium. Securing these materials is crucial because once terrorists have acquired enough of these materials, then it becomes significantly more difficult to stop them from using it in a bomb. That's why time is of the essence in global efforts to prevent a nuclear terrorism incident.
The United States has long played a leadership role in nuclear materials security. Shortly after his election, President Obama made preventing nuclear terrorism a top policy priority. In a public speech in Prague in April 2009, he declared that the United States would lead a global effort to secure all materials in four years. A year later Obama hosted 47 world leaders at a Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, DC. Ongoing, sustained US leadership is crucial to not only reaching the four-year goal but also to attaining effective, long-term nuclear materials security.
Yet the United States cannot solve this problem alone. Only global cooperation can prevent nuclear terrorism. All nations attending the Nuclear Security Summit last year agreed to take measures to keep terrorists from acquiring nuclear material and most made specific pledges to take action. This was one of many important steps that need to be taken to address the threat.
Almost two years ago the Stanley Foundation began a programming effort focused on the security of nuclear materials. From our point of view, preventing a nuclear terrorist attack from taking place anywhere is an achievable and common sense goal the world's governments can agree on. Securing the material eliminates the threat.
But, what are the practical policy steps that need to be taken to prevent this kind of catastrophe from happening anywhere in the world? What kind of international cooperation is needed to meet the four-year goal set by President Obama? Are current efforts enough to not only reach the goal, but to also achieve sustainable security of nuclear material?
In upcoming editions of think., we'll explore these questions and more with you.

This gives me a clearer understanding as to why there hasn't been any "increased" patrol, as promised, after I reported ongoing suspicious activity in my neighborhood.

Why is Danville spending precious money on a study of police services? We can get rid of the Sheriff's contract service and save an immediate 30 percent on law enforcement costs. If that sounds like a no-brainer, it is.
Just look next door at San Ramon - they have their own officers and are saving a fortune.
The "get a consultant" mentality never ceases to frost me. Why don't our elected leaders do the job they were elected to do and MAKE SOME DECISIONS without running with quivering lips to Mother Consultant?

LATEST: One of the men being investigated over an alleged assault on clamper Daniel Clout is New Plymouth district councillor Andrew Judd.
Mr Judd has told the Taranaki Daily News he acted in self-defence during an altercation which took place in a private car park next to his optician business on King St.
The scuffle happened about 11.45am yesterday after Mr Clout clamped a Judd Opticians customer who had parked in the private car park.
Mr Clout said he was approached by two men, including Mr Judd, who ''got right up into my face and were trying to intimidate me''.
He said he was forced up against a brick wall by the throat, and then shoved and hit in the face.
Mr Clout said his video camera was also broken during the incident.
But Mr Judd said the clamper had been monitoring the area from one of the six parks privately owned by him, which he has forbidden Mr Clout from doing.
Mr Judd claimed he told Mr Clout he would have him clamped, to which Mr Clout replied ''try it'', followed by a flurry of offensive language.
He then advanced at Mr Judd and his business associate with one of his clamps, which Mr Judd described as scary and intimidating.
''It was more just shoving and yelling and swearing,'' Mr Judd said.
''In the heat of debate, things sometimes get out of hand. Given the tension and the circumstances I think I acted appropriately as any other person would.''
Mr Judd said it was not the fact he had clamped the customer that agitated him, but that he had been parked in one of his private parks while preying on others.
''In this case he was right, and I'm not saying he wasn't. I don't want to stop him doing his job.
''But he's not supposed to be in my car park, looking to clamp others.''
Mr Clout said he expected both men to be charged for threatening behaviour and assault.
Senior Sergeant Thomas McIntyre said police were now investigating and asked members of the public who may have witnessed the altercation to contact Senior Constable Toni Haggart at the New Plymouth Police Station.
Mr Judd said following police investigations, if he was found to have done anything wrong, he would do the honourable thing and step down from his duties as a councillor.
Mr Clout has been in the spotlight this week for clamping an unmarked police car which was parked in a private car park on Monday afternoon.
He was also recently found guilty of assaulting a German tourist whose van he had clamped.Police are investigating an alleged assault on New Plymouth clamper Daniel Clout.

OCHS Principal Search
The OCHS Principal Selection Committee is seeking feedback and suggestions from various stakeholder groups. Surveys have been developed for students, staff, and parents to complete. Parents of current OCHS students and incoming freshmen for 2015-2016 are asked to take a few moments and answer a short anonymous survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OCHParents. The committee will review each response and use the information from the surveys to shape the interview and selection process. Paper copies of the surveys are also available in the school office. Parents are asked to finish the survey by March 31.
The OCHS SBDM Council met Friday, March 13 to continue work on the principal selection process. The committee used time at the March 13th meeting to hammer out the criteria that they feel should govern the principal selection process and to plan how to garner stakeholder input. The committee has created three stakeholder surveys (staff, parent, student) that will be administered and then used to fine-tune the selection criteria and help craft interview questions and tasks. Surveys will be administered in the very near future.
At the next meeting scheduled for March 27, the committee will focus on screening candidates and finalizing the interview process to be used. Currently, the committee is on schedule to complete their work by April 20.
Please contact Anita Davis, Chief Academic Officer, if you have questions regarding the process.

Tasted totally sour. No-one in my family would eat it. I would not recommend to anyone, ever. Unless you are fond of tammarind. No seasame at all.
Very good. I love strong flavors, and this was absolutely delicious and was an excellent accompaniment to a chicken curry dish I made. Cut back the tamarind paste a bit if you prefer a less sour taste.

Water damage, no backlight, replaced LCD but still doesn't work?
Hi there,
My iphone had water damage (you could see it in the camera and in the LCD). Everything was fine except there was no backlight. So I opened it up and the indicators on the logic board were still white.
So I ordered a new LCD on ebay and replaced that, and after replacing it, the backlight still isn't working. There doesn't appear to be any corrosion or anything on the logic board or other connections, and the indicators are still white. Should I give up or are there more steps I can take to get this phone working?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Edited by: oldturkey03 ( )
Accepted Answer
if this is the case then it may be the 6r8 coil or part of that pathway. take it to a phone shop and see whether they do that repair.. or buy the part from ebay for $5 solder it yourself or if the path is damaged you'll need to to solder a wire between the coil and the lcd pin (1 or 2 ) i forget now..but google backlight iphone 3gs and there are millions of how to guides on youtube that should help.
You also might want to look at this guide http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/iPhon... and clean your logic board and connectors of the corrosion that you noticed. The guide is for the 3G but essentially shows you what you need to do. Follow these guides to get to your logic board....
Once water damaged, there is lots of things which can go wrong on this phone.
First of all, check the LCD connector (on the iphone logic board of course). Ensure the pins are all clean and not shorted. If a doubt, use a thin needle to clean between the pins.
Then, check if all these pins are well soldered to the board. With the needle try to move (gently) each pin to see it they are correctly attached. If one is moving then you will need to use an iron with a very thin tip to solder it back the pad. Due to the corrosion you will probably have a hard time to solder the pin.
Of course a good magnifier is needed to do a good job.
If the LCD connector is alright then you will need to remove the upper can of the logic board and check for shorted pins.
Good luck!!

Toyota Tacoma Problems
The amber front running lights, located in the head light assembly may melt or crack their lens. The correction at this time is to replace the head light assembly.
Toyota issued a recall on the lower ball joint due to the possibility of premature wear from improper finishing in production. The ball joints will be replaced under the recall. This recall applies to 2001-2004 models only. Please contact you local Toyota dealer to see if your vehicle is included.
Occasionally, the Check Engine Light may come on, this can be related to a failed air flow sensor. This type of fault is commonly repaired by cleaning or replacing the air flow sensor.
Toyota Tacoma Questions
Toyota Tacoma Recalls
Southeast Toyota is recalling certain vehicles because the seat heater element may become damaged as a result of compression of the seat cushion. The damaged element could short causing burning of the seat cushion, increasing the risk of personal injury. Dealers will disconnect seat heaters with copper strand elements and refund the purchase price of the seat heater accessory to correct this concern.
The steering column assembly contains electrical connections for the driver's airbag, commonly called the "clock spring". This spiral cable assembly includes a Flexible Flat Cable (FFC). Due to the shape and location of the FFC's retainer, the FFC could become damaged when the steering wheel is turned. If the FFC is damaged, the driver's airbag could be deactivated. The failure of the driver's airbag to deploy when required increases the risk of injury to the driver. When the parts are available, dealers will replace the spiral cable assembly to correct this concern.
The brake system contains an actuator that adjusts the fluid pressure to the brake at each wheel. An electrical component inside the actuator may experience an increased electrical resistance resulting in the illumination of various warning lights, including those for the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system, Antilock Brake System (ABS), and Traction Control system. As a result, these systems may not function as expected, reducing directional control assistance and increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will update the software for the Skid Control module to correct this concern.
Toyota Tacoma Reviews
I see others had a problem with the air conditioner. At 65K miles, my compressor went. $2400 to fix it. My guess is that this is a common problem and I'd like to see Toyota step up. This is my third Toyota and first major problem. Other than that, it has been excellent purchase but the "bullet proof reputation for reliability" mentioned in advertisements is suspect at this point!
Gas mileage sucks! Stock 17.5 mpg hwy I added K/N filter and cold intake with minor difficulty for a whopping 20mpg! My friends have Dodge diesel 4x4s that get 21. Front wheel wells on this model have openings that collect leaves and has to be cleaned regularly to prevent rust. Paint job chips, scratches and stains very easily. I keep teflon wax on it but the paint is bad. A/C is only fair and ...
At 97000 miles I took the P/U to a local garage to have timing belt and all other belts replaced as preventative maintenance. The mechanical part went well but the engine was missing when started.
