Benefits of Query of Queries
Performing a Query of Queries
Use the results of a query in a query
Displaying recordset data incrementally
Using the cfdump tag with query results
Using Query of Queries with non-SQL recordsets
Use Query of Queries with a Verity recordset
Use Query of Queries to combine recordsets
After you have created a recordset with a tag or function, you can retrieve data from the recordset in one or more dependent queries. A query that retrieves data from a recordset is called a Query of Queries. A typical use of a Query of Queries is to retrieve an entire table into memory with one query, and then access the table data (the recordset) with subsequent sorting or filtering queries. In essence, you query the recordset as if it is a database table.
Performing a Query of Queries has many benefits, including the following:
When you have to access the same tables multiple times, you greatly reduce access time, because the data is already in memory (in the recordset).
A Query of Queries is ideal for tables of 5,000 to 50,000 rows, and is limited only by the memory of the ColdFusion host computer.
You can perform joins and union operations on results from different data sources.
For example, you can perform a union operation on queries from different databases to eliminate duplicates for a mailing list.
You can efficiently manipulate cached query results in different ways. You can query a database once, and then use the results to generate several different summary tables.
For example, to summarize the total salary by department, by skill, and by job, you can make one query to the database and use its results in three separate queries to generate the summaries.
You can obtain drill-down, master-detail information for which you do not access the database for the details.
For example, you can select information about departments and employees in a query, and cache the results. You can then display the names of the employees. When users select an employee, the application displays the details of the employees by selecting information from the cached query, without accessing the database.
You can use a Query of Queries in report definitions to generate subreport data. For more information, see Using subreports.
Perform a Query of Queries as follows:
Generate a recordset through a master query.
You can write a master query using a tag or function that creates a recordset. For more information, see Creating a recordset.
Write a detail query—a cfquery tag that specifies dbtype="query".
In the detail query, write a SQL statement that retrieves the relevant records. Specify the names of one or more existing queries as the table names in your SQL code. Do not specify a datasource attribute.
If the database content does not change rapidly, use the cachedwithin attribute of the master query to cache the query results between page requests. This way, ColdFusion accesses the database on the first page request, and does not query the database again until the specified time expires. Use the CreateTimeSpan function to specify the cachedwithin attribute value (in days, hours, minutes, seconds format).
The detail query generates a new query result set, identified by the value of the name attribute of the detail query. The following example illustrates the use of a master query and a single detail query that extracts information from the master.
Create a ColdFusion page with the following content:

Employee List
  <cfset LastNameSearch="Doe">  <cfquery datasource="cfdocexamples" name="master" cachedwithin=#CreateTimeSpan(0,1,0,0)#> SELECT * from Employee </cfquery>  <cfquery dbtype="query" name="detail"> SELECT Emp_ID, FirstName, LastName FROM master WHERE LastName=<cfqueryparam value="#LastNameSearch#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_char" maxLength="20"></cfquery>
Output using a query of query:
 <cfoutput query=detail> #Emp_ID#: #FirstName# #LastName#
 </cfoutput>
Columns in the master query:
 <cfoutput> #master.columnlist#
 </cfoutput>
Columns in the detail query:
 <cfoutput> #detail.columnlist#
 </cfoutput>
Save the page as query_of_query.cfm in the myapps directory under the web_root.
Display query_of_query.cfm in your browser
The master query retrieves the entire Employee table from the cfdocexamples data source. The detail query selects only the three columns to display for employees with the specified last name. The following table describes the code and its function:
cfset LastNameSearch="Doe"
Sets the last name to use in the detail query. In a complete application, this information comes from user interaction.
<cfquery datasource="cfdocexamples" name="master" cachedwithin=#CreateTimeSpan(0,1,0,0)#> SELECT * from Employee </cfquery>
Queries the cfdocexamples data source and selects all data in the Employees table. Caches the query data between requests to this page, and does not query the database if the cached data is less than an hour old.
<cfquery dbtype="query" name="detail"> SELECT Emp_ID, FirstName, LastName FROM master WHERE LastName=<cfqueryparam value="#LastNameSearch#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_char" maxLength="20"> </cfquery>
Uses the master query as the source of the data in a new query, named detail. This new query selects only entries that match the last name specified by the LastNameSearch variable. The query also selects only three columns of data: employee ID, first name, and last name. The query uses the cfqueryparam tag to prevent passing erroneous or harmful code.
<cfoutput query=detail> #Emp_ID#: #FirstName# #LastName#
 </cfoutput>
Uses the detail query to display the list of employee IDs, first names, and last names.
<cfoutput> #master.columnlist#
 </cfoutput>
Lists all the columns returned by the master query.
<cfoutput> #detail.columnlist#
 </cfoutput>
Lists all the columns returned by the detail query.
If your database is large, you can limit the number of rows displayed at one time. The following example shows how to do this using the currentRow query variable of a Query of Queries. For more information on query variables, see Getting information about query results.

QoQ with incremental row return
  <cfparam name = "MaxRows" default = "5"> <cfparam name = "StartRow" default = "1">  <cfquery name = "GetSals" datasource = "cfdocexamples"> SELECT * FROM Employee ORDER BY LastName </cfquery>  <cfquery name = "GetSals2" dbtype = "query"> SELECT FirstName, LastName, Salary FROM GetSals ORDER BY LastName </cfquery>

    	  FirstName 	  LastName 	  Salary
  <cfoutput query = "GetSals2" startrow = "#StartRow#" maxrows = "#MaxRows#">
  #GetSals2.currentRow# 	  #FirstName# 	  #LastName# 	  #LSCurrencyFormat(Salary)#

Save the page as qoq_next_row.cfm in the myapps directory under the web_root.
Display qoq_next_row.cfm in your browser.
As you debug your CFML code, you can use the cfdump tag to quickly display the contents of your query. This tag has the following format:
<cfdump var="#query_name#">
For more information on the cfdump tag, see the CFML Reference.
A Query of Queries can operate on any CFML tag or function that returns a recordset; you are not limited to operating on cfquery results. You can perform queries on non-SQL recordsets, such as a cfdirectory tag, a cfsearch tag, a cfldap tag, and so on.
The following example shows how a Query of Queries interacts with the recordset of a Verity search. This example assumes that you have a valid Verity collection, called bbb, which contains documents with a target word, film, or its variants (films, filmed, filming). Change the name of the collection and the search criteria to as appropriate for your Verity collection. For more information on Verity, see Building a Search Interface.
  <title>QoQ and Verity</title>    <cfsearch name = "quick" collection="bbb" type = "simple" criteria="film">
Master query dump:
 <cfdump var="#quick#">  <cfquery name="qoq" dbtype="query"> SELECT * from quick WHERE quick.score > 0.7743 </cfquery>
Detail query dump:
 <cfdump var="#qoq#">

To paraphrase means to express someone else's ideas in your own language. To summarize means to distill only the most essential points of someone else's work. Paraphrase and summary are indispensable tools in essay writing because they allow you to include other people's ideas without cluttering up your essay with quotations. They help you take greater control of your essay. Consider relying on either tool when an idea from one of your sources is important to your essay but the wording is not. You should be guided in your choice of which tool to use by considerations of space. But above all, think about how much of the detail from your source is relevant to your argument. If all your reader needs to know is the bare bones, then summarize. Ultimately, be sure not to rely too heavily on either paraphrase or summary. Your ideas are what matter most. Allow yourself the space to develop those ideas.
How do I paraphrase? Whenever you paraphrase, remember these two points: 1. You must provide a reference. 2. The paraphrase must be entirely in your own words. You must do more than merely substitute phrases here and there. You must also completely alter the sentence structure.
It can be difficult to find new words for an idea that is already well expressed. The following strategy will make the job of paraphrasing a lot easier: 1. When you are at the note-taking stage, and you come across a passage that may be useful for your essay, do not copy the passage verbatim unless you think you will want to quote it. 2. If you think you will want to paraphrase the passage, make a note only of the author's basic point. You don't even need to use full sentences. 3. In your note, you should already be translating the language of the original into your own words. What matters is that you capture the original idea. 4. Make sure to include the page number of the original passage so that you can make a proper reference later on.
When it comes time to write the paper, rely on your notes rather than on the author's work. You will find it much easier to avoid borrowing from the original passage because you will not have recently seen it. Follow this simple sequence: 1. Convert the ideas from your notes into full sentences. 2. Provide a reference. 3. Go back to the original to ensure that (a) your paraphrase is accurate and (b) you have truly said things in your own words.
How do I summarize? Summary moves much farther than paraphrase away from point-by-point translation. When you summarize a passage, you need first to absorb the meaning of the passage and then to capture in your own words the most important elements from the original passage. A summary is necessarily shorter than a paraphrase.

Today's the one-year anniversary of Steve Jobs' death. This tribute video from the front page of Apple.com is simple and straightforward — pretty classic Apple.
There's a weird section, from about the 17-second mark to roughly 45 seconds in, where it seems like the video is going to devolve Jobs' life into a series of product launches, but it fortunately pivots back into something more personal and human.

Essential Style: Todd Snyder Lures Us Back Into Autumn
We know, we know the exact moment when you're pushing all that wool to the back of your closet and hanging up your winter jackets until October is no time to be scoping out new sweaters. Believe us, we've got it bad for summer too Mother Nature owes us. Still, we couldn't help but collect the best of Todd Snyder's Autumn/Winter 2011 collection when we saw it on Slamxhype this afternoon and pass it on to you. First off, we took a look at the loose structure of his light, black trench. Then we got caught up in the ever so slightly oversize pockets on his crewneck sweaters. Then there was that blue top (so reminiscent of something we lost during Sophomore year of college) and those slate shirts with the collars that were just the right amount of too long. By the time we got to the end of this very American Psycho collection by the J. Crew alum with silhouettes re-engineered for a 2011 fit, well, fall had pulled us right back in. Be sure to hunt for these refined staples when the wind starts to cool come September.

The 1-dimensional examples, interval exchange transformations, have been studied fruitfully for many years and have deep connections to other areas of mathematics, such as Teichmüller theory. This book introduces a general method for constructing polytope exchange transformations in higher dimensions and then studies the simplest example of the construction in detail. The simplest case is a 1-parameter family of polygon exchange transformations that turns out to be closely related to outer billiards on semi-regular octagons. The 1-parameter family admits a complete renormalization scheme, and this structure allows for a fairly complete analysis both of the system and of outer billiards on semi-regular octagons. The material in this book was discovered through computer experimentation. On the other hand, the proofs are traditional, except for a few rigorous computer-assisted calculations.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The Hyperstone Heist
a game by Konami- Downloads
- Screenshots 20
- Cheats 0
- Forum 6
Shredder's back, and this time he's not only stolen the Statue of Liberty, but Manhattan itself! Who can stop him and his Foot soldiers? The Turtles can! In The Hyperstone Heist, Donatello, Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael must return to save New York. Shredder's not just going to turn himself in, however, and there's five intense levels to complete. Get ready to stomp on the Foot Clan - Turtle style!
People say:
This game plays like a Genesis version of the Turtles game we reviewed a few issues ago on the Super NES. Although the game play is good and the levels are long, the two conspire to make this effort repetitive even on the easier settings. I have nothing against the execution - it's a great game just wanted diversity.
Hey, where is the software scaling of the enemies coming out of the screen? While it would take a bit more work, the wizards at Konami can do anything. At least I thought so. The game plays quite well and the graphics arb quite detailed. The only problem I could find is the usual complaint - the game is too easy!
There are quite a few things missing from this version that made the Super NES version so good. You can't hurl the enemies towards the screen and the game play has less to offer in terms of moves. Don't get me wrong, this is still one of the better Genesis carts around. The game is also far too easy in the 2 player mode.
It doesn't compare to the arcade, and even on Normal Mode it js incredibly easy. On Easy Mode, take a nap. The graphics are very good, with decent animation and very little breakup until later stages. The sounds really need work and with better music and effects, it would be coo!. It needs more levels, too.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The Hyperstone Heist Downloads
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The Hyperstone Heist downloadCowabunga, dudes! Konami takes on the Genesis and pulls out all the stops with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist, a 16-bit graphic and game playing work of art. Every aspect of this game is top-notch, from the startup animation to the final end Boss. This game is an action/adventure video game piece de resistance!
Start Spreading the News
The Turtles' archvillain, Shredder, has latched his slimy hands onto the Hyperstone from Dimension X, and he's using it to shrink the Big Apple into apple fritters! It's up to Michaelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, and Raphael to do what they do best -- track down Shredder and return New York City to its rightful size. One or two players choose Turtles and embark on a five-level, side-scrolling action extravaganza.
You'll immediately notice the Hyperstone Heist's beautiful graphics and crisp animation. The programmers pillaged the Genesis' graphic vaults to present large, colorful, highly detailed characters, and silky smooth onscreen action.
The backgrounds of each of the five levels are also extremely detailed. They cleverly use shadows and gradations to add depth to the scenery. You fight through the sewers and streets of New York City, a mysterious ghost ship anchored in N.Y. harbor, Shredder's secret hideout, and a gauntlet of villains. Ultimately, you face Shredder for the final showdown in the Technodrome.
- Use jump attacks to knock down large gangs with a single blow.
- In two-player mode, fight back-to-back to cover each other's behind.
Playing for Kicks
This gamefeatures great, fully-animated, fighting action controlled by combinations of the Attack, Jump, and Dash buttons. Each Turtle fights in a different style depending upon his specific weapon. Each one also possesses special power techniques, such as Leonardo's Bamboo Split and Donatello's Hurricane Attack. In especially tight situations, each Turtle can initiate a Deadly Attack, which enables them to instantly defeat all the enemies around them. Unfortunately, using an Attack sucks up two valuable life units. The Boys need to save their Deadly Attacks for the huge Bosses at the end of each level, such as the Krang's Robot, Leatherneck, and Rock-steady.
- Wear down Leatherneck with repeated combinations of a jump attack and several hits. Then, jump back before he can chomp on you.
- The knife-tossing yellow Foot soldier always throws his blades directly at the spot where you're standing. So, jump up as soon as he makes his move.
Pizza Time!
Unfortunately, only 10 life units stand between your character and Turtle soup. However, find a Pizza to instantly rejuvenate your life bar. Moreover, you receive an additional Turtle life for the first 100 villains you defeat, and for every 200 thereafter. Additional help is available from the Options Menu, which enables you to set the difficulty level and set up to five Turtle lives and five Continues per game.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist brings excellent arcade-quality graphics, sound, and game play to your home unit. The variety of options guarantees fun and challenge for gamers of all ages and abilities. Although, the story line and the objective are simple, there are plenty of moves and challenges to make you spin in your shell. The Turtles make a big splash for Konami in their Genesis debut!
Those heroes in a half shell -- Raphael, Michaelangelo, Donatello, and Leonardo -- are back to help Konami initiate its foray into the Sega seas in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist.
The Turtles Tale
The evil Uroku Saki (a.k.a. the Shredder) has captured the mystic Hyperstone, an ancient orb that gives him the power to shrink New York City and everything else on Earth. This Genesis game will focus most of its action in New York. There will be five stages with up to three substages each. One player can be a solo Turtle on the hunt, or two players can team up for simultaneous amphibian ninja action. Player Two can join in anytime.
You'll slice and dice your way through familiar territory that looks Genesis great. The quartet starts their search in the famous sewers of New York. Then, they're off to sea for a battle on an eerie wraith-like ship. Next, they must sneak into Shredder's hideout, which features a danger-filled Japanese garden. Then the guys get wet and wild as they fight across treacherous waterfalls. Finally, it's time to get down in the Drome, the Technodrome that is.
Your crummy competition features the usual suspects and some brand new foes that even Turtles comic book fans have never seen. Some of the villainous favorites are back to help Shredder shred you -- Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady, Leatherhead, the Stone Warriors, and the Foot Clan. Don't worry you'll get help from Master Splinter.
Hyped on the Hyperstone
With the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Konami set to jump into the Genesis, there's no telling how far out The Hyperstone Heist will get. It ought to be a shelluva game!

Over the past four months, as my roast beef po-boy eating bender has stretched to something like eternity, I've been asked this question with increasing frequency: Are you sick of them yet? No. Which, to be honest, has come as something of a surprise.
Even more surprising is that I have experienced the opposite: I like, and crave, roast beef po-boys even more today than when I started a project whose main risk, I feared, would be turning me off to the sandwiches altogether.
Even po-boys that won't ultimately rank among my favorites have awakened my palate to something I hadn't considered before, like how beef cooked a tad dry for my taste is reborn with melted cheese (which is how I suggest ordering it at the Tackroom Bar & Grill in Kenner). And has anyone else noticed a micro-regional preference for griddle-toasted bread in Marrero? The technique is favored at both Frazier's Connection and Schnell's, whose grilled/pressed roast beef po-boys eat like bayou paninis.
All of this eating has given me a more detailed picture of what it is that I love about roast beef po-boys. And like a burgeoning wine connoisseur whose sampling of the world's grapes ultimately intensifies her desire to drink more Romanée-Conti, I keep returning to R & O's.
If we can agree that gravy is not a substance separate from beef, but a liquid expression of why we so covet the flesh of the cow, we can then argue that R & O's roast beef po-boy is not just filled with beef; it's painted with it. You can see it staining the edges of the bread, both halves of which are introduced to beef before being placed in the oven.
The top half gets dipped in gravy, the bottom half layered with gravy-soaked beef that comes as close in flavor to true debris as any I've tried. The dry heat does something for the seeded bread — call it Crisping for Battle — but even more for the beef. It is as if the meat has been plugged into Spinal Tap's amplifier, turning the volume on its beefiness up to 11.
It is impossible to think of anything while eating R & O's roast beef po-boy other than the pleasure of eating. For a devoted carnivore — or even a conflicted but still wildly enthusiastic one like me — the experience reaffirms carnivorousness as an energy that borders on sexual.
If everyone could eat something that had this effect on their minds and bodies every single day, the sum total of human unhappiness would reach historic lows. Too bad there is only one R & O's.

Dear donors to the 'Help Afghan Boys Trade Guns for Books':
We want to sincerely thank you for your many donations to this important project in Afghanistan. Our original goal was to reach $30,000.00, and we are nearly at that goal. However, due to the ongoing sensitive situation in Afghanistan, there is a still critical need to offer an option to boys and young men. Giving them the opportunity to become literate and get an education allows a choice that is different from the more extreme, violent options facing young males.
We have increased our funding goal to $40,000.00 to address this ongoing need. The Afghan Institute of Learning and Creating Hope International have used your donated funds to start and continue classes for boys and young men in several of our educational learning centers. Students are learning to read and have gone on to other subjects such as math, science, and computer technology. With this training, young men have the opportunity to find good jobs to support themselves and their families. In all our classes we also discuss human rights, democratic principles and peace. Your donations have, and will, continue to allow Afghan males a chance to improve and grow.
Thank you again for all your support.
TweetAfghanistan is in the news a lot these days. As a donor to a project in Afghanistan, you may be wondering if change is happening, and if your donation really makes any difference. Following is a message from Dr. Sakena Yacoobi that answers your questions. It's part of our annual newsletter, where we also share progress reports from several areas, and the impact AIL's work is having in Afghan lives. This newsletter is below in a PDF format; we invite you to click on it and read ALL the details……
From Sakena Yacoobi: First, I want to thank all of you for supporting the work of the Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL). Your support is so important. Yes, the funds you send help us to bring education and health to so many Afghan women and children. But, more importantly, in this time of increasing violence and insecurity in Afghanistan, your support helps Afghans to know that they are not forgotten. It gives ordinary Afghan women, men and children the courage to keep studying, to keep going to clinics and to keep working for peace.
Today you probably hear that Afghanistan is a place of war, terrorist bombings, burning of schools, kidnapping, drugs and all kinds of other horrible things. And it is true that in every province of Afghanistan, including the capitol, every single day, these kinds of things are happening. But what you might not hear in your news is that everyday many women, men and children of Afghanistan get up in the morning….. say goodbye to their family…..and go to work….. go to schools and centers ….. go to trainings……because they know that they must be educated. They know that the only way they can stop these problems is to be educated. So they are learning, they are teaching and they are not afraid.
And when there is no electricity or no clean water or no school or no road or no job and there is no help from the national government or the international agencies, Afghans, particularly women, are joining together in community or with their local officials to find ways to solve their own problems. And, with your help, AIL is helping them to do this. I want to let you know that as dark as it seems to be in Afghanistan now, much is happening. Afghans, themselves, are changing. They are educating themselves; they are making sure that their children are educated; they are finding new ways to solve their problems. I would ask you to walk with us a little further on our journey towards peace.
TO READ the rest of our annual newsletter, please click on the PDF link below and it will open for your inspection-
Thank you for your support. Your desire to make a difference in this world has made a difference, and we are very thankful that Afghan people have had their lives changed with your help.
We wanted to share with you a very special opportunity to give more than 100% from November 10 through December 1st. Please share this with those you know who care. During this time, we are privileged to receive additional matching funds from your donation through Global Giving of at least 30%. The need is still great. Afghanistan struggles to become a country of strength and stability.
In the month of September, AIL taught 2,881 males. The opportunity for an education is a crucial alternative for Afghan boys. Without the opportunity to better themselves, these boys have a much higher chance to drift into the murky world of militant fighting and extremist propaganda. Providing basic literacy, advanced education in math, science, English and computer training gives Afghan boys and men the basics needed to develop strong jobs and be an asset to the Afghan society.
TweetThere's a new focus on women worldwide. The New York Times magazine dedicated their entire issue one week in August on women in the developing world. Of particular focus was a newly launched book written by the well-known Pulitzer winning couple Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl DuWunn titled: "Half The Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide". The press focus on this timely book is significant- from reviews in Harvard and People magazine, to upcoming segments on shows like "The Today Show", the time has come for women and their issues worldwide to be in the spotlight.
Sakena Yacoobi and her organization the Afghan Institute of Learning is one of the topics in Chapter Nine of the book. Dr. Yacoobi grew up in Herat, Afghanistan and then came to the United States to study at the University of the Pacific and Loma Linda University. Concerned about the condition of her people back in Afghanistan, Sakena returned to Pakistan to work in Afghan refugee camps and later went to Afghanistan. Although the Taliban forbade girls from getting an education in Afghanistan, Sakena was instrumental in establishing a string of secret girls schools with community support.
Today, the Afghan Institute of Learning has multiple education programs in Pakistan and in seven provinces of Afghanistan. There are educational learning centers for women and children, preschool programs, post-secondary institutes, a university, and teacher training programs. In addition, AIL has an in-depth program of health education and treatment for women and small children. Since its start in 1995, AIL has trained nearly 16,000 teachers and over 3.5 million women and children have received a quality education. With the health programs included, AIL has directly impacted over 6.7 million Afghans.
Sakena has been and continues to be recognized for her work. Her philosophy is to develop a program from the grass-roots level so the community members are an integral part of the process. State Kristof and DuWunn in their book Half The Sky- "American organizations would have accomplished much more if they had financed and supported Sakena, rather than dispatching their own representatives to Kabul...The best role for Americans who want to help Muslim women isn't holding the microphone at the front of the rally, but writing the checks and carrying the bags in the back."
Dr. Yacoobi and the work of the Afghan Institute of Learning have been supported by multiple grantors and organizations over the years. "I wish to thank everyone who has helped in this important work," states Sakena. "I want to share with each and every contributor the joy of seeing a young woman, who has a renewed interest in life because she can now read, or the happiness of a widow who has learned a skill that will allow her to support her children.
"We now have children who are healthy because of inoculations, and women who did not die during childbirth who have happy, healthy babies. My wish is that these small steps that allow awareness and growth in families will lead to the growth of our country."
Recently, we spoke with Sakena, and she has this message to all the supporters of AIL:
"It is an honor to be included in Nicholas' and Sheryl's book Half The Sky. So many foundations and individuals have contributed to the work that the Afghan Institute of Learning has been able to do in Afghanistan.
"From the bottom of my heart I want to thank all who have understood the plight of Afghan women and children, and have reached out with compassionate, caring support.
"May God reward your generosity......."
TweetRecently, AIL was asked by the Afghan Ministry of Women's Affairs to report on the impact AIL's programs have had. We were amazed by our findings. Since beginning in 1996 through May 2009, 220,970 Afghans have been educated in AIL schools, centers and post-secondary programs and overall 6,778,026 Afghan lives have been directly impacted by AIL programs.
Although most of the students in AIL centers and schools are women and girls, AIL is also educating boys who have not had an opportunity to go to school during the war years. During the first 6 months of 2009, your donations helped AIL educate 4,177 Afghan boys in Educational Learning Centers in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Masten Gregory (February 29, 1932 − November 8, 1985) was a racing driver from the United States. He raced in Formula One between 1957 and 1965, participating in 43 World Championship races, and numerous non-Championship races.[1]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (May 2012) |
Known as the "Kansas City Flash", Masten Gregory was born in Kansas City, Missouri as the youngest of three children; his elder brother was Riddelle L. Gregory Jr., also a race car driver, and his elder sister Nancy Lee Gregory married, as her second husband, the Anglo-American fashion designer Charles James. An heir to an insurance company fortune, Gregory was well known for his youngish looks and thick eyeglasses, due to his "terrible" eyesight. Although he attended the Pembroke-Country Day School in Kansas City, he left school before completing his senior year, and married Luella Simpson at the age of 19. His parents divorced when he was very young, and his father died when he was three years old. As an adult, Gregory used his inheritance to buy a Mercury-powered Allard, which he drove in his first race, the 50-mile (80 km) SCCA race in Caddo Mills, Texas in November 1952. He retired from that race due to head gasket failure, but installed a new Chrysler hemi-powered engine in his car to race at Sebring in 1953, where he again retired, this time due to a rear suspension failure. Gregory's first win came in just his third race, in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Changing to a Jaguar, Gregory won several races in America, including the Guardsmans Trophy in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco and a race at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Nebraska. At the end of 1953, Gregory was invited to his first international sports car race - the 1000 km Buenos Aires in Argentina, which he finished in 14th due to water pump problems.
Throughout 1954 and 1955, Gregory competed in European races, including the Tourist Trophy at Dundrod and the 24 Hours of Le Mans (although his co-driver Mike Sparken retired before Gregory got a chance to drive). He also won the inaugural Nassau Trophy at the Bahamas Speed Week in 1954.[2] Moving back to America in 1956, Gregory entered several SCCA races, often winning. In 1957, he had another attempt at the Argentine 1000 km race, this time winning. This performance got him a drive with Mimo Dei's Scuderia Centro Sud, a privateer Formula One team using the Maserati 250F. His first race was the 1957 Monaco Grand Prix, where he scored an impressive 3rd place finish, the first podium for an American in an F1 Grand Prix. He followed this with a string of good results, coming 8th in the German Grand Prix, and 4th in both the Pescara and Italian Grands Prix. Despite only competing in half of the races, Gregory ended the 1957 season in 6th place in the championship.
Gregory only competed in four Grands Prix in the 1958 season, due to injuries sustained through one of his trademark bailouts when his car was set to crash, this time in a sports car race at Silverstone in England. He did manage a 4th place at the Italian Grand Prix, and a 6th in the last race of the year, this Moroccan Grand Prix. Moving to Cooper-Climax for the 1959 season alongside Jack Brabham and Bruce McLaren, he scored two podium finishes - a 3rd place at the Dutch Grand Prix, and a career-best 2nd at the Portuguese Grand Prix. However, he missed the final two races of the season, again due to injuries sustained jumping from a car moments before it crashed. He finished 8th in the Championship, and with teammate Brabham winning the World Championship, Cooper won their first Constructor's Championship. Gregory scored a pole position and set a course record at the non-Championship race at Aintree, but his contract with Cooper was not renewed for the following year.
Gregory continued in Formula One until 1965, but mainly with uncompetitive independent teams. He was unable to reproduce the results he obtained early in his career, his best being a 6th at the 1962 United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen with the UDT Laystall team, in a Lotus 24. Running 4th, just behind eventual winner Dan Gurney at the French Grand Prix, Gregory retired with ignition problems, losing possibly his best chance at a maiden Grand Prix victory. Gregory did manage a win in the non-Championship Kannonloppet race at Karlskoga in Sweden, but this race only featured six drivers (only four of whom finished), and no top teams.
After his release from Cooper, Gregory also went back to competing in sports car races, setting the overall fastest lap at the 1960 24 Hours of Le Mans. He won the 1961 1000 km Nürburgring, driving alongside Lloyd "Lucky" Casner in a Maserati Tipo 61 for the America Camoradi Racing Team. In the same year, Gregory finished 5th in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in a Porsche RS61 Spyder. 1962 saw Gregory win the Canadian Grand Prix sports car race at Mosport Park in a Lotus 19-Climax. In 1964, Gregory again competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, this time in a Ford GT40. He retired from the race in the 5th hour due to gearbox difficulties. The following year, Gregory teamed up with 1970 Formula One World Champion, Austrian Jochen Rindt, and the pair won the race in a North American Racing Team Ferrari 250 LM. 1965 was also the year in which Gregory raced in the Indianapolis 500, starting from the back of the grid and working his way up to 5th before being forced to retire due to an engine problem.
Gregory then began to wind down his motor racing career, continuing to compete in international sports car races with some good results including a second-place finish at the 1966 1000 km race at Monza alongside John Whitmore. Following his good friend Jo Bonnier's death at the 1972 Le Mans race, Gregory stopped racing, and retired to Amsterdam, where he worked as a diamond merchant before operating a glassware business. On November 8, 1985, Gregory died in his sleep of a heart attack at his winter home in Porto Ercole, Italy. He had four children, Masten Jr., Debbie, Scott and Michael. Gregory was inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame in 2005, the Kansas City C.A.R.B. (Central Auto Racing Boosters) Hall of Fame in 2007 and the Watkins Glen Walk of Fame in 2012. In August 2013, Gregory was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America.
Gregory is in a distinct club of motorsport being only one of seventeen drivers to compete in all three legs of the Triple Crown of Motorsport (Indianapolis 500, 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Monaco Grand Prix) and to have won at least one of those events. The others were Louis Chiron, Jack Brabham, Jim Clark, Graham Hill (who won all 3), Dan Gurney, Jochen Rindt (who won 2), Mario Andretti, Mark Donohue, Jackie Stewart, Denny Hulme, Danny Sullivan, Vern Schuppan, Stefan Johansson, Michele Alboreto, Eddie Cheever and Jacques Villeneuve.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
A release that comes with a name like Ultimate T-Girl 3 better have its ducks in a row, metaphorically. Because, if you watch this thing, and it's not the ultimate, or nearly so, you're going to wonder where all the hubris came from.
And so, you will wonder with UTG3. There is a scene up front, featuring a lovely tranny by the name of Claudia, who makes you feel, just for a moment, that this feature is going to be special. Tall, tanned, nice curves, and a huge cock, Claudia is the complete package, nice to look at, and pretty good in bed, too.
Sadly, though, the rest of this feature is more of the same tranny fare doled out time and again by people looking to cram out the next in a series of millions of tranny films. It's not that they're not good, but fans seem to demand more, so why not give it to them?

Anyone have pictures of a cool home office? I'm thinking of updating our generic one we have in place now. I'd like to have a space for two monitors/2 chairs.
Nothing too cool, but I have a desk built into the corner of my home office with a 13 inch TV right beside my computer monitor so I can "multitask."
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.
Always need a small basketball hoop to shoot buckets as paper goes through the hoop and hits the trashcan.
Let my Fred's Posse Ride: Georges, 3sus, Hallice, Deonte, Dustin, Abdel, Monte, Matt, and McKaT.
I have an ISU dart board as well in it.
I actually have a mini air pistol range in my office. I just take a bunch of waste paper, and pack it loosely in a paper box, and staple 3 x 5 cards to it as targets. People think I'm weird, but at least they have a realistic and accurate assessment of me when they first meet me....
I'm baaack! See my Hot Milk For Breakfast blog under Social Groups for more details

One Box of Past & Present
Picked up a box at this weekend's Sun-Times show in Chicago. Despite the "hits" being absolutely valueless, I had a TON of fun with this break.
I really like the design of the relics. Big piece of jersey without dominating the look of the card. I see why the patch versions are going for some serious coin. From a value standpoint, this baby saved the break from being a total disaster: Throw in some visually stunning inserts (the Raining 3s and Fireworks sets are amazing, and the Changing Times set features some wicked afros) and this was a ton of fun for $80. Scan of inserts not working, but here they are: Raining 3s - Lebron, Dirk, Nash Fireworks - Garnett (gash in back of card), Rondo Changing Times - Dr J, Thompson, Haywood, Love Breakout - T Evans, Gallinari, Cousins, DeRozen And the Breads: Life - Laimbeer, Schayes Energy - Brewer, Garnett, Terry, Evans Health - Nash, Deng, Bynum I'll be breaking more!
After eight years I finally completed my 2005 Upper Deck Legends Legendary Signatures set. Well, unless the Steve Young card was made. If you know anything about this card or by some chance know where one exists, please PM me. Thanks!! |

There are plusses and there are minuses to this Latina-boning buffet. On the minus side, almost none of it qualifies as true POV; indeed, a better title might have been Latin F.T.S.V. (or From the Side View) 5.
The plusses, however, definitely outweigh the minuses, what with the great lineup of saucy Latin ladies on deck, all doing plenty of bonerific-good cock-bonking. In particular, the ludicrous (as in hot ass) Isabella Dior and Veronique Vega (the latter gracing the box cover) will leave viewers absolutely panting. Keep an eye on both these gals as prime up-and-cummers.
Excellent stuff for anybody who lusts after beautiful babies of the brown-skinned kind.

While ACTH has been approved for use in MS relapses for many years, its cost has limited its use to only those patients who are in need of a relapse treatment alternative to corticosteroids. This is believed to be the first study to have been done on its use as a chronic treatment for MS. ACTH is not FDA-approved for use as chronic treatment for MS.
The study was supported by a research grant from Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc., maker of ACTH.

Fitness First
by Sail Staff, Posted August 28, 2008Being strong makes racing more enjoyable, but many strength-training programs are complicated to follow and necessitate gym access and ample free time. Luckily, you don't need a gym to improve your sailing-specific strength. You can do this short workout anywhere.

Imagination Isn't Silly
by Sail Staff, Posted August 28, 2008Most embarrassing situations on the water happen because someone hasn't bothered to think out the maneuver ahead of time. Athletes in all sports train themselves to imagine the steps they need to take to achieve success. A downhill racer, for example, will run a course in her imagination as many times as it takes train the muscles involved in each turn to react subconsciously and produce the
Fresh Water
by Sail Staff, Posted August 28, 2008We always try to collect rainwater aboard our Serendipity 42 so we can enjoy plenty of cool, sweet-tasting water without having to run our watermaker. To do this we designed our shade awning so that it is also a super-efficient rainwater collector.
We shaped the awning with a belly on each side where water can collect; a rope running along each side of the awning forms a gutter. A
Flat is Fine
by Sail Staff, Posted August 28, 2008When you're outfitting a cruising boat's galley, it's wise to select flatware that has no pattern. Leave the Climbing Rose and Parthenon patterns at home. When you're on the water, particularly salt water, you want the surface of your eating utensils to be as featureless and smooth as your chainplates—for the same reason. Every ripple and crevice in a piece of patterned cutlery can harbor
Dinghy on Deck
by Sail Staff, Posted August 28, 2008I know this idea isn't popular with a number of cruisers, but I don't think it is ever seamanlike to tow a dinghy when on a passage. For starters, the drag is considerable and a real impediment to sailing speed. There are many other reasons, of course, starting with the fact that towing a dinghy is bound to be a distraction. Then there's the question of potential danger to the crew if the

In Charleston 1835, we are back to the allegory of the Cooper River, with its familiar message of maritime prosperity. This decade was perhaps the height of Charleston's ascendancy, and the illustration reflects as much. The harbor is shown crowded with boats as never before, and the still water reflects a bright sheen of light from the sky. A foreground figure, dressed in tophat and aristocratic attire, surveys a scene that resembles a tended garden more than a wilderness. And an inescapable rainbow arcs from the sky to the ships, signifying pots of gold now figuratively and literally sailing into the city's coffers.

Odds & Ends about college completion, homework loads and seniority layoffs
Californians who delayed starting college until 25 or older were more likely to finish, a study released today finds. We were among only five states where this was true, one of dozens of statistics included in the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center study.
Overall, 69 percent of Californians who went to four-year universities had a diploma in hand within six years and 17 percent were still enrolled, compared with 63 percent graduating, 15 percent still trying, nationwide. Best grad rate was in Iowa, 80 percent; worst showing was 41 percent in Idaho.
Those in the traditional track, going straight to full-time enrollment at a four-year campus, did best statewide, with 9 out of 10 graduating.
Homework Update
The 2014 Brown Center Report on American Education, released by the Brookings Institution Tuesday, tackles the thorny issue of families drowning in homework. Bottom line: It's not so bad and hasn't changed much since you went to school. If teens are staying up too late, the study suggests, it's more likely because of the time they spend chatting with friends before buckling down to the books.
Short on time yourself? Catch the movie.
Lawsuit update
The potentially pivotal lawsuit seeking to overturn California's strong job protections and seniority layoff system for teachers winds up Thursday, March 27. Administrators, students and parents have testified on both sides during Vergara v. California. In an impressive amount of spin, both sides saw each others' witnesses as bolstering their own views. Whether viewed as a case for educational equity or a politically motivated attack on the teaching profession, it is a verdict to watch.
For one thing, it could change laying off teachers based solely on seniority. Research shows teachers do better after at least two years on the job. Beyond that, seniority does not appear to be the best predictor of great teaching.
While much was made in the case about the turnover at inner city schools caused by seniority layoffs, I would argue the strongest evidence against the statute comes from looking through cases where laid off teachers sue to bump other teachers. Such cases come down to bare-knuckled fights about money, a profoundly unflattering look at the profession.
In one local case, a community college instructor who had never taught a technology course sued to take over cutting-edge digital design classes. Her qualifications? Decades earlier she made a flier using a computer and she had seniority over the expert then teaching the classes. While the law seemed fuzzy on the issue, the judge ruled 20-year-old computer skills did not qualify as qualified.

Interesting article on the PIG here. Not heard of this show before?
Interesting article on the PIG here. Not heard of this show before?
The artist formerly known as Hifiwigwam.
Blimey, some proper gear there!
P.s Pah, not a patch on Scalford......
first of all a massive thumbs up to James for posting this up here!! There really is some great kit and i thought it may be a tad off a few folks radar.
Secondly I agree Rob the whole Scalford thing does take some beating!! Real people, real kit and with a bit of luck and a following wind there'll be a fat and bald expat there next year!!
Hi Stu,
I notice someone has fallen into the old 'Austria and Australia are probably the same country' trap.
Were Audio Stoat not on show this year, or are you just saving the best till last?
'Why do we always come here? I guess we'll never know. It's like a kind of torture to have to watch the show.'
Nah - Audio Stoat is proper high end gear - Stu's probly saving that for next year's Scalford Show.
Life's too short for boring hifi!
There's something about shows in other countries - Germany, USA, Hong Kong etc that has the overwhelming ability to make us feel positively destitute, no?
Anyway, re the Concert Fidelity stuff, some English dude Martin Logan owner got hold of the DAC and was so impressed he is trying to bring the stuff into the country. Not sure if he has succeeded yet.
The rightful owner of the Mighty Audio Stoat amplifier is actually James (Mr hifiwigwam)
BTW I do better show coverage - the best, in fact. Rates from £10,000 a day. Pretty reasonable...
Nice to see a good selection of beardies and baldies on show
Oh, and EDDIE CURRENT should change their name.
The High End Show? Think its been running for near to 10 years. Oddly I first heard of it when reading a kind of resumé of a guy who now is promoting buying physical silver to financially survive the collapse of the world economy - the guy used to run it before getting into the whole economic collapse thing, as you do.
I recognized the amp in the picture, the little valve hybrid, as one I have and use with my tv in France. I took it to one of Doms bake offs a good while ago and everyone was gobsmacked at the sound quality for £ 150.

Slotting Allowances And Endogenous Shelf Space
Date Added: Jun 2009
Format: PDF
Slotting allowances are upfront payments that manufacturers make to retailers to obtain shelf space. They are widespread in the grocery industry and are of concern to antitrust policy makers because of their potentially adverse effect on retail prices. A popular view is that these payments arise because retailers have more products from which to choose than they can profitably carry given the availability of shelf space. According to this view, slotting allowances are caused by the scarcity of shelf space. In this paper, the authors show that the causality can also go the other way: the scarcity of shelf space may in part be due to the emergence of slotting allowances. This has policy implications.

Touted by Oprah, proclaimed a "genius" by the MacArthur Foundation, decked with medals by France and the United States, beloved by generations of readers, and a recipient of the National Book Critics Circle Award, author Ernest J. Gaines is about to get the red carpet treatment from New Orleans. Beginning on Wednesday, Nov. 28, Gaines will take center stage at "Words & Music, a Literary Feast in New Orleans."
That sprawling annual festival will toast Gaines with a black tie dinner, panel discussions, public interviews and the premiere of a Gaines-inspired jazz composition by trumpeter Irvin Mayfield.
The fuss isn't likely to affect Gaines' work, however.
At 79, the grand old man of Louisiana letters follows the course he set decades ago, with novels such as "A Lesson Before Dying," "The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman," and "A Gathering of Old Men." Now translated into 15 languages, those books have made Gaines and the people of Pointe Coupee Parish familiar to a worldwide audience.
"In my writing, I've never strayed too far from the well," Gaines said in a recent phone interview. "I'm living on the land where I picked cotton as a boy, where I found my vocation by writing letters for illiterate share croppers who paid me a nickel or gave me some clabber to do it."
Gaines and his wife built a home on the False River property in 2004, and settled full time in Louisiana. For 22 years, Gaines had commuted between a teaching post at the University of Southwestern Louisiana, and his second home in San Francisco.
"I couldn't teach and write at the same time," Gaines said. "Writing is a jealous bitch. She wants all of your attention, and that's what she got from me in San Francisco. My family knew not to call me before 4 in the afternoon. I was at my desk and didn't want to be bothered."
The Bay Area also was the site of Gaines' literary apprenticeship. He moved there as a teen, fleeing the repressive Jim Crow laws that barred him from Louisiana libraries and left him with no chance to get a high school education. Gaines eventually made it to Stanford University as a Wallace Stegner Fellow --- among the most prestigious such awards for emerging writers.
"When I first walked into a California library, the whole world opened up for me. I read the Russians. I read the French. I read Steinbeck and Hemingway. I learned from them. That's where my style comes from, my sense of the novel's structure," Gaines said. "But style isn't everything. Those white writers showed me how to build a house, but Leadbelly taught me what to put in the house. I had to come back to my music, my ancestors, and my spirit to make my own work."
It wasn't an easy beginning. For a time, Gaines supported himself as an insurance clerk and sneaked away to the men's room to write on paper towels. On cold nights in San Francisco, he'd sit by the open door of a kitchen stove, shivering in coats and sweaters, as he dreamed his way back to Louisiana.
"I tried to write ghost stories, Army stories, interracial love stories, but nothing came out true until I came back to Louisiana subjects," Gaines said. "My physical body had gone west to California, but my soul stayed here."
On visits to Louisiana, however, Gaines sometimes felt estranged. "I didn't fit in anymore. I couldn't love everything about Louisiana. But I still could find things that moved me when I was a country boy chewing sugar cane, hunting and fishing, collecting pecans," he said.
Mostly, he found people, especially the old folks who told him stories, and took him back to the ways things were. Most of those elders are gone now, some laid to rest in the cemetery on Gaines' property, where he hopes to be buried himself.
"I never knew Miss Jane Pittman, but I feel that I knew a thousand like her," Gaines said. "I sat around and listened when the old men got together. I saw people who were angry because they wanted a chance to stand up. I learned about love and rage and being a stranger. I learned about our common humanity --- and that has powered my writing. That's why people want to translate my work."
The broad appeal of Gaines work has won him a special distinction, as scores of cities have selected his work for "One Book" programs intended to foster dialogue by encouraging readers to discuss the same book at the same time. "A Lesson Before Dying" was chosen for the New Orleans area 2012 Big Read project, which is also tied into Words and Music.
Gaines has also held his own with the literati, having lent his name to the nation's most prestigious annual award for African-American writers.
In October, Stephanie Powell Watts won the Ernest J. Gaines Award for Literary Excellence — and a $10,000 prize — for her debut story collection, "We Are Taking Only What We Need." Watts joined a distinguished list of honorees, including Dinaw Mengestu, Victor Lavalle, Jeffery Renard Allen, Ravi Howard, and Bogalusa native Olympia Vernon. (We highlighted their achievement in January and focused on Mengestu in a 2011 story).
"I'm not a judge for the awards, but I'm very excited by the work of the winners," Gaines said. "These writers are the age of my grandchildren. They see the world differently. They may not reflect the repressive South of the 1940 and 1950s, but they know what it takes to write well. They get the world onto the page. They reflect the human condition. They work with grace under pressure. That's what your job has to be if you are a writer."


text: I just picked these up from Archive last week. They're amazing, as expected. The leather is ridiculously thick and moderately stiff, but after several wears is already breaking in nicely. They feel extremely solid, and they're really comfortable almost immediately. I've owned other kudu leather boots, but they've tended to have thinner, flimsier leather (and tended to be, well, significantly less expensive) . The depth of color on these is impressive, too. Absolutely perfect.

Drug Safety

A decade ago, only about 10 percent of the patients at Cincinnati's Center for Chemical Addictions Treatment were admitted for opioid addiction and abuse. During the treatment center's last fiscal year, that number was up to 64 percent. The numbers reflect a startling trend in Ohio and throughout the nation — a trend that public health workers are taking to task.
Since 2000, overdose deaths due to prescription painkillers in Utah have increased by more than 400 percent. By 2006, more Utahans were losing their lives to prescription drug overdoses than to motor vehicle crashes. For Dr. Lynn Webster, a longtime pain management physician, the startling numbers were a call to action.
It took six years of going from doctor to doctor to doctor for Penney Cowan to finally receive a diagnosis for her chronic pain: fibromyalgia. Doctors had told her she'd just have to learn to live with the pain — a condition that some days made it hard to lift a cup of coffee. So when she decided to join the pain program at Ohio's Cleveland Clinic, she didn't have high hopes. She says she expected the effort to fail.
Researchers studying workers' compensation claims have found that almost one in 12 injured workers who begin using opioids were still using the prescription drugs three to six months later. It's a trend that, not surprisingly, can lead to addiction, increased disability and more work loss – but few doctors are acting to prevent it.
Between 1940 and 1971, a synthetic form of estrogen called diethylstilbestrol (DES) was prescribed to pregnant women to prevent miscarriage and premature labor. This practice changed abruptly, though, after the New England Journal of Medicine published a dramatic new finding from a study of young women diagnosed with a rare cancer in two Boston hospitals.
For years, Peter Rosenfeld was looking for an effective way to treat what doctors had diagnosed as severe and intractable migraines. He'd heard of medical marijuana, but thought it was a joke — that it was just a way for people to justify their marijuana use. Today, he's a passionate advocate for medicinal marijuana and one of many advocates disappointed at recent federal actions.
In the New York Times last week, Gardiner Harris reported on tensions between FDA and the White House over FDA decisions that White House officials fear will be politically problematic for President Obama. Harris reminds readers that "The Bush administration repeatedly stopped the agency from issuing rules to prevent contamination of eggs, produce and other…
Washington State becomes the first in the nation to adopt specific workplace safety rules to protect healthcare workers who are potentially exposed to anti-neoplastic drugs and other hazardous medications. The new rule, issued earlier this month by the State's Department of Labor & Industries, stems from legislation passed in April 2011 and signed into law…
Earlier this week, FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg presented Frances Kelsey with the first in what will be a series of awards bearing Kelsey's name. Fifty years ago, as a new medical officer with the FDA, Kelsey refused to approve US sale of Kevadon, a drug widely recognized by its generic name, thalidomide. The drug was…
