"I love these shoes: they make me nostalgic for my childhood jellies, but these are the grown-up version. They're really cute, comfortable if you don't need arch support, and make walking in the run super fun. The only downside is that after about a year (with nearly daily wear from spring to fall), the plastic starts to break. But that's okay for me--I rebuy these every spring because I love them so much."

Very narrow
"These are actually really cute and fun but just too narrow. They also don't look very durable and I read other reviews about them breaking. I don't think they would last long."

Perfect Spring/Summer shoe
"This shoe is really cute on. My mother bought the shoe and she has wider feet, but the shoe fit her perfectly and looked cute on, so I decided to get a pair. I was hesitant that the shoe would fit me well, I wear a size 11 and my foot is not narrow, but it fits well. Only issue with comfortability is my pinkie toe gets a little pinched with the plastic material."

- Enkata For Claims
According to the American Medical Association almost one in five (19.3%) of medical claims processed by the largest commercial health insurers is inaccurate. Imagine being one of those patients that goes in to see your doctor for a sprained wrist and a few weeks later receives a bill for a "short leg splint calf to foot." Last time we looked your wrist is nowhere near your foot…While it might sound ridiculous to think that such a grievous mistake could happen clearly it happens far more frequently than many patients realize.
In fact, the National Health Insurer Report Card found a 2% rise in claims processing errors from 2010 to 2011, which added "an estimated $1.5 billion in unnecessary administrative costs to the health system. The group estimates that if health insurers were able to eliminate all claim processing errors, the health care system could save $17 billion a year.
The AMA calculates that doctors' offices spend an average of 20+ hours each week dealing with claim edits. When a claim receives an edit, it is kicked back from the insurance carrier to the healthcare provider and the patient with a "reason code" for why the claim was rejected. A report from March 2011 from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) indicated that insurers are denied coverage more frequently because of claims processing and billing errors than because the care was deemed medically inappropriate. This means that your healthcare claims processing office could be at fault when patients are denied coverage! Not only are your processors costing you time and money; their processing mistakes are directly impacting the health and well-being of patients.
Eliminating claims processing and payment errors should be a critical objective for all health insurance providers. Errors are expensive, damage your brand and reputation, and can lead to regulatory sanctions. Healthcare claims processing errors come from a variety of sources (the subscriber is deemed ineligible for coverage, the medical coding doesn't match the actual procedure, the patient needed precertification, etc.), but a substantial amount of processing errors can be traced right back to employee activity. Some processors manage their time poorly, and then need to do many claims in a short amount of time to hit their daily requirements. Other employees might skip using the applications designed to reduce errors as way to save a few minutes per claim (which comes back to bit them in the end when they have to deal with a claim edit). And sometimes claims processing employees may simply not understand the processes they are expected to follow. Medical billing and coding can be incredibly complicated and if mistakes aren't caught and corrected right away your processors might not even realize they were doing something wrong.
In order to reduce the amount of claims processing errors and save that $17 billion, healthcare providers need to better understand the specific actions that caused the error to begin with. Was the processor doing something in particular that caused the error? Is there an issue with your system that makes the claims process more prone to errors? When a healthcare provider can identify employee work patterns that lead to claims processing errors and see the specific actions taken on claims that were processed incorrectly they can better identify process changes and coaching opportunities that will help reduce claims processing errors.

Recent Narragansett Pier Reviews
Just what we wanted!
This property was in an ideal location for us with all the space that we needed for our family event at the Towers.The rooms are spacious and the third floor provided an extra living room. The large dining room table enabled us all to sit together and we could also use the round table in the hall if we had any extra people for meals which we did on occasions. The house is very comfortable and has lots of storage space which was useful. Whilst the kitchen is a reasonable size it does have the benefit of a pantry and the appliances were excellent, very quick and effective. The owner and the team were extremely helpful and were so close it made things very easy. We had a problem with a bed and a new one was purchased for us the next day - fantastic customer service! I would definitely recommend this property if you want a central location and a large comfortable property to stay in with your family or friends; we loved it. The deck provided seating for the lovely views, fun and laughter - all together a magical time for us

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
From The CriticsReviewer: Josie Martin Bowman, RN, MSN, DSN (East Carolina University )
Description: This is the fifth edition of an adult health nursing book is written for students who are pursuing a degree as a practical vocational nurse. It is a companion to Foundations of Nursing , 5th edition, by the same authors (Elsevier, 2006) and updated to reflect the most current and accurate information. The previous edition was published in 2003.
Purpose: The authors state that this book, either alone or with the companion, is the "perfect text (s) to meet all the educational needs of LPN/LVN in all health care settings." The authors describe the book as meeting the expanded role of the LPN/LVN. These objectives are worthy and the book is needed in this area of nursing.
Audience: Since the focus of the book is on LPN/LVN, the authors discuss care delivered and use of the nursing process in relation to the role of the LPN. The authors are both masters prepared nurses who have teaching experience in community colleges. They also have an LPN advisory board and contributors and reviewers from nursing programs across the U.S. to review the book for content and accuracy.
Features: The book covers care of clients with various disorders using a medical model in the titles. The chapters are organized using a framework of: etiology/pathophysiology, clinical manifestation, assessment, diagnostic tests, medical management, nursing diagnoses and nursing interventions, patient teaching and prognoses. The book includes skills, nursing care plans, safety considerations, health promotion, clinical pathway, nursing diagnoses, complementary and alternative therapies, teaching, older adults, and home health considerations. Throughout, it has identified LPN threads that reflect reading level evaluation, colorful objects at the beginning of each chapter, key points, and critical thinking questions.
Assessment: The book is readable and well organized. Colorful illustrations and tables pull out the important aspects and identify skills. The fifth edition presents a discussion of safety considerations and health promotion not covered in other books. In addition, the authors have added two new appendixes: one on the JCAHO list of dangerous abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols and one on laboratory reference values. I would recommend this book to students and educators in LPN/LVN programs.

TROUTDALE, Ore. A Troutdale mom rushed to her children's rescue after they fell through the ice on a small pond Friday morning.
Around 10 a.m., the kids, who are around the ages of 8 and 10 years old, went out on the ice at Sunrise Park. Their mom watched as the kids broke through the ice and fell into the water. The woman rushed to pull them to safety, according to Jason McGowan with Gresham Fire & Emergency Services.
One of the boys was reportedly up to his neck in water.
The three then walked about 8 minutes back to their apartment to call 911. They were then taken to Mt. Hood Medical Center.

Tennis: Serena powers past Sharapova and into Miami final
Published on Mar 28, 2014 4:21 AM
MIAMI (AFP) - Serena Williams extended her dominance of Maria Sharapova on Thursday, defeating the Russian 6-4, 6-3 to reach the final of the Miami hardcourt tournament for the ninth time.
World number one Williams will be seeking a second straight Miami crown - and the seventh of her career - on Saturday, when she takes on either Australian Open champion Li Na of China or Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova in the women's final of the combined WTA and ATP Masters event.
Sharapova, ranked fifth in the world and seeded fourth, seized the first break in each set, but couldn't build on her advantage as she went down to Williams for a 15th straight time.
Williams leads their career head-to-head 16-2, and Sharapova's two victories in the rivalry came back in 2004, when a precocious 17-year-old Sharapova beat Williams in the finals at Wimbledon and the WTA Championships.

BMC Veterinary Research 2013, 9:168 doi:10.1186/1746-6148-9-168Published: 21 August 2013
The objective of this randomized controlled trial was to determine the effect of feeding a commercial lacteal-derived colostrum replacer (CR) or pooled maternal colostrum (MC) on preweaning morbidity, growth and mortality in Holstein heifer calves. A total of 568 calves were randomly assigned to be fed either 3.8 L of pooled MC or two doses (200 g IgG) of a CR. Calves were monitored daily for preweaning morbidity until weaning at 60 d old. Birth and weaning weights were measured to estimate growth rates.
Calves fed CR were significantly less likely to be affected with a diarrhea event (OR = 0.58; 95% CI, 0.38 to 0.88; P value = 0.011) and had a higher rate of daily weight gain (0.051 kg/day; 95% CI, 0.03 to 0.08; P value <0.001) compared to calves fed pooled MC. Use of lacteal-derived colostrum replacer was not significantly associated with respiratory disease (OR = 1.01; 95% CI 0.67 to 1.51; P value = 0.974 ), omphalitis (OR = 0.93; 95% CI 0.06 to 14.86; P value = 0.956), or mortality (HR = 0.71; 95% CI 0.27 to 1.92; P value = 0.505) in the study calves.
The lacteal-derived CR fed at the study dose was a viable colostrum alternative in the event of poor quality pooled MC for the prevention of preweaning diarrhea and resulted in higher growth rates in comparison to calves fed pooled MC in the study herd.

|Src, PKCalpha, and PKCdelta are required for alphavbeta3 integrin-mediated metastatic melanoma invasion.
Putnam, Andrew J, et al.
Cell Commun. Signal, 7: 10 (2009) 2009
Show Abstract
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Integrins, cell-surface receptors that mediate adhesive interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM), play an important role in cancer progression. Expression of the vitronectin receptor alphavbeta3 integrin correlates with increased invasive and metastatic capacity of malignant melanomas, yet it remains unclear how expression of this integrin triggers melanoma invasion and metastasis. RESULTS: Two melanoma cell lines C8161.9 and M14 both express high levels of alphavbeta3 integrin and adhere to vitronectin. However, only the highly metastatic C8161.9 cells are capable of invading vitronectin-enriched Matrigel in an alphavbeta3-depenent manner. Elevated levels of PKCalpha and PKCdelta, and activated Src were detected specifically in the highly metastatic melanoma cells, but not in the low metastatic M14 cells. Inhibition of Src or PKC activity suppressed alphavbeta3-dependent invasion. Furthermore, over expression of Src or PKCalpha and PKCdelta was sufficient to confer alphavbeta3-dependent invasiveness to M14 cells. Stress fiber formation and focal adhesion formation were almost completely absent in C8161.9 cells compared to M14 cells. Inhibition of Src signaling was sufficient to restore normal actin architecture, and resulted in decreased p190RhoGAP phosphorylation and enhanced RhoA activity. Src had no effect on Rac activity. Loss of PKCalpha expression, but not PKCdelta, by siRNA inhibited Rac and PAK activity as well as invasiveness. Loss of PKCalpha restored focal adhesion formation and partially restored stress fiber formation, while loss of PKCdelta primarily restored stress fibers. CONCLUSION: The misregulated expression of PKCalpha and PKCdelta and elevated Src activity in metastatic melanoma cells is required for efficient alphavbeta3-mediated invasion. PKCalpha and Src enhance alphavbeta3-mediated invasion in part by increasing the GTPase activity of Rac relative to RhoA. PKCalpha influences focal adhesion formation, while PKCdelta controls stress fibers.

NCAA baseball tournament
Sunday: 16 first-round regional host sites announced on ESPN's Bottom Line, @NCAACWS on Twitter and NCAACWS on Facebook, approximately 9 p.m.
Monday: Full 64-team field and top eight national seeds announced, ESPNU, noon.
There isn't any mystery for the Palmetto State going into the NCAA's Sunday announcement of the 16 host sites for next week's Division I baseball regionals.
South Carolina is a lock to get one for the fifth straight year. But the Gamecocks are on the bad side of the bubble for a top eight national seed.
Clemson has no chance to host a regional. But the Tigers hope to squeeze into the tournament with an at-large invitation.
The NCAA will announce the 16 host sites Sunday night at approximately 9 p.m. on its web site, social media pages (@NCAACWS on Twitter and NCAACWS on Facebook) and ESPN's Bottom Line scroll. The full 64-team field and the eight national seeds will be revealed during an ESPNU hour-long selection show starting Monday at noon.
The Gamecocks were No. 8 in the official weekly NCAA Ratings Percentage Index last Tuesday but slipped to 13 in the updated WarrenNolan.com RPI after stumbling out of the SEC tournament with lopsided losses to Mississippi State (12-0) and Florida (7-2).
Clemson after going 2-1 in the ACC tournament is No. 48 in the WarrenNolan.com RPI.
The top eight national seeds are assured of hosting NCAA tournament super regionals if they advance in first-round regionals. The Gamecocks won a super regional at Coastal Carolina in 2010 on the way to the first of two straight College World Series titles but lost a super regional at North Carolina last year.

Well I vote no. If this happens just count me out.
Well I vote no. If this happens just count me out.
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
I like the idea, but agree that it should be separate from the regular pick'ems. I would definitely be in though
Believe in Chimichanga's
Well it seems a bit undecided here. Most people who are doing it every week are not in favour of it, and rightfully so. If you play all year, someone plays 2 events and somehow upsets you in this 'tournament' style, then it feels like you've wasted the year and could've just played a single event and won.
So what I'm proposing is that this does NOT replace how the pick'ems are done now. Basically everything stays the same for the pick'ems as it is now. I will continue to keep it the same all year, and whoever wins that is the actual winner of the whole season.
I'm thinking of this more as a side thing, completely separate from the yearly pick'ems which will crown the actual champ who has dominated all year.
Your picks for those events will be used in both the 'season' (which crowns the actual champion for the year), and also in this separate event for this tournament. Basically if you don't care about the playoff thing, just ignore it, as it has no bearing on the yearly competition which will crown the actual champ.
I'm hoping this encourages people to join in more, and maybe beef up the field a bit next year.
So here's what I'll do. Anyone entering at least 1 pick throughout the year will be put into this tournament, which will probably start in like September or October or November or something. I'll figure out how many people when we get closer, and I'll figure out how many events per round, etc, and lay it out.
So yea, if you dislike this idea, no need to worry, it will have no effect on the season rankings and the points you get in that. That will continue as normal, and nothing will change for that whatsoever.
BUT if you're out there, and want to get in on this, make at least one pick throughout the year, and you can get into this tournament. However, once it starts, I need everyone involved to actually enter their picks for all events, to avoid someone getting an easy pass because an opponent no-shows. So yea, u guys out there who like it but aren't in the yearly pick'ems (RearNakedStroke, SwordofAres, The Return of the …, and hopefully Leu joins back in), get a pick in sometime and you're good to go.
This just gives more people a chance to get involved with the pick'ems too, as maybe they don't want to do every event for the whole year, but might do them that only run a few months. And then maybe some of them will stick around next year and do the entire year to get a higher 'seed'. I might even start it off with people who haven't been doing them all year start in a round-robin type thing, where you gotta win to get in.
Details will follow one day, once I figure it out and find out how many people are in for it (need to make 1 pick before the start). And again, it will in no way change the normal pick'ems, that will be run completely separate.

Animal Control Officer: Job Description and Career Requirements
Animal control officers generally require little formal education. Learn about the training, job duties and certification to see if this is the right career for you.
Essential Information
Animal control officers enforce local and regional laws concerning the care and treatment of animals. They patrol public areas looking for potential signs of distressed animals, and work directly with citizens concerning animal control issues. Some officers also educate the public about animal control safety. Most entry-level positions require a high school diploma at the minimum, while some require an applicable certification or undergraduate degree.
|Required Education
|High school diploma or G.E.D. at the minimum; some employers require postsecondary training
|Other Requirements
|Voluntary certification available
|Projected Job Growth (2012-2022)
|8% for all animal control workers*
|Average Salary (2013)
|$33,870 for all animal control workers*
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Animal Control Officer Job Description
According to the National Animal Control Association (NACA), animal control officers work to maintain public health standards by making communities safe for both people and animals (www.nacanet.org). Animal control officers are usually hired by city and county agencies, although some work for states or other branches of the federal government. Officers often respond to calls from citizens about stray animals, suspected animal cruelty or deceased animals. Sometimes, officers have to capture or rescue animals, but other times they administer warnings or citations to citizens suspected of animal cruelty and mistreatment.
Animal Control Officer Career Requirements
Information from the NACA shows that most entry-level animal control officer positions entail a minimum of a high school diploma. Some agencies require additional training and education, such as an undergraduate degree or certificate related to animal sciences, veterinary sciences or law enforcement. Related postsecondary coursework includes animal behavior, animal care and management, animal nutrition and community policing. Animal control officers are generally also required to pass drug tests and background checks, in addition to holding a driver's license.
While many animal control officers receive on-the-job training, agencies may require workers to complete accredited animal control training programs. The NACA provides training programs at different levels to accommodate workers of all backgrounds and experience levels, such as those with prior experience in the animal control industry and those without.
Lower-level training coursework covers animal first aid, evidence collection, public relations and documentation procedures. Mid-to-upper level training coursework can include animal capture and containment strategies, cruelty investigations, animal hoarding and puppy mills. Active animal control officers may also have to attend training courses and seminars routinely in order to stay current on topics like animal euthanasia, animal cruelty laws and humane chemical capture techniques.
Although not required in all states, employers may prefer applicants who have been certified by recognized animal control organizations, such as the NACA. To become an NACA-certified animal controller, applicants must complete the lower-level training programs, which tend to last five days. Candidates must then pass final written exams with a grade of 'B' or better.
Animal Control Officer Career Outlook and Salary Information
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects that animal control officers will see a slower-than-average 8% increase in jobs over the 2012-2022 decade. In May 2013, animal control workers received an average yearly wage of $33,870, with the highest levels of employment in local government agencies and social advocacy groups.

great product never had any problems
Posted by Jen G. on 18th Mar 2015
I love this glue!!! It has a pretty great hold time but isn't so tough that it's hard to remove grown out lashes at the touch up appointment. It's a tried and true product for me, I've been using it for almost 2 years with no complaints from clients.
I have been told by light eyed clients that the fumes can be a tad bothersome, but I hear this from them more often when it's a brand new bottle that I've just opened.
Posted by Michelle Martin on 6th Mar 2015
Adhesive is great, fast drying for those who have the ability to work at a good speed.
Posted by Unknown on 28th Jan 2015
I like the Ulbon glue because it dries fairly fast and does not get stringy.
Posted by gabby on 3rd Nov 2014
Dries super quick AND is lasting!!!!! Love it!!!!:)
Posted by Darlene Hand on 20th Oct 2014
The glue us awsome. Tries very fast. Burns very little at first, but you get used to it. A little goes a long long way.

Woodard, UNC blank top seed Clemson on three-hitter
Updated: June 19, 2006, 12:50 AM ETAssociated Press
OMAHA, Neb. -- For one night at least, a 46th-round draft pick by the name of Robert Woodard commanded the spotlight usually reserved for North Carolina's two better-known pitchers.
Robert Woodard threw a three-hitter and struck out seven to help North Carolina beat top-seeded Clemson 2-0 in the College World Series on Sunday night.
The junior had been overshadowed all season by first-rounders
Andrew Miller and Daniel Bard. But in his 130-pitch outing, Woodard

It will likely have to unwind its U.S. refining and marketing joint-ventures with Royal Dutch/Shell Group and Saudi Arabia's national oil company to satisfy antitrust concerns. Texaco has begun negotiations with both companies about the ventures.
"The integration teams continue to make good progress toward the goal of completing the merger in the mid-year time frame and positioning the new company, ChevronTexaco, as one of the world's largest and most competitive energy companies," Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Peter Bijur said in a statement.
If the Chevron deal is completed, the combination will be the world's fourth-largest publicly traded oil company, the latest in a string of oil companies created through consolidation. Others include Exxon Mobil Corp. and BP Amoco Plc.
In part by cutting its combined work force by 57,000 by 7 percent, or 4,000 employees, ChevronTexaco expects to slash costs by some $1.2 billion.
Capital and exploratory expenditures were $4.2 billion for the year 2000, compared with $3.9 billion for 1999.
Total upstream expenditures increased by 12 percent, the company said. BACK TO TOP
Exxon Mobil's Profits Surge
Fourth quarter net income at Exxon Mobil more than doubled, helped by surging oil prices, as the company easily surpassed Wall Street's expectations.
For the three months ended Dec. 31, Exxon Mobil earned $5.22 billion, or $1.49 a share, compared with $2.28 billion, or 65 cents per share, the company said today.
Excluding items in both periods, Exxon Mobil earned $5.12 billion, or $1.46 per share, nearly double the $2.71 billion figure, or 77 cents per share, of a year earlier.
Those figures include one-time gains and the effects of Exxon's $85 billion acquisition of Mobil, which was completed in December 1999. The company took a $215 million charge for merger-related expenses but also a gain of $315 million from asset sales, which regulators required as a condition of approving the giant merger.
Revenue was $64.13 billion, up from $54.58 billion a year earlier.
Analysts surveyed by First Call/Thomson Financial were expecting $1.31 per share.
The company said the improved profits were due mainly to exploration and production operations outside the United States, especially in the North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, Venezuela and Equatorial Guinea in Africa.
But refining profits — which often suffer from higher crude oil prices — also improved as a glut of gasoline and other refined products diminished, the company said.
"These results reflect historically high crude oil and natural gas prices, higher refining margins and further improvements in operating efficiencies, including those from merger synergies," said chairman Lee R. Raymond.
For the full year, Irving, Texas-based Exxon Mobil earned $17.72 billion, or $5.04 per share, on revenue of $232.7 billion. Last year, the oil giant earned $7.91 billion, or $2.25 per share, on revenue of $185.53 billion.
Materials Cost and Strong Dollar Hurt DuPont
High costs for oil and other raw materials dragged down DuPont's fourth-quarter earnings, though the chemical maker still managed to beat Wall Street's expectations.
DuPont earned $261 million, or 25 cents per share, compared with a loss of $1.42 billion, or $1.36 per share, in the year-ago period, the company said today.

Crap. I have two working copies of a subversion repository, one of the trunk, and one of a branch I created. Then, I accidentally the deleted the branch in a repository browser. How do I restore the branch? Is there a way to undo the most recent commit for the whole repository? Any help is much appreciated. :-\
svn cp [path to deleted branch]@[revision before delete] [new path]
for example:
Where 1993 is the revision before the delete...
Here is some good documentation...
There must be some way of escaping the @ symbol in the username...
Here is a solution if you are using TortoiseSVN:
Assuming your last revision was 108
You can also add your source URL to the merge:
Edit: Elsewhere on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/248821/undoing-a-commit-in-tortoisesvn
I ran into this problem but the above command didn't work for me. What did was much easier. I checked out the branch at one revision before I removed it. The revision that was removed was 9331. I checked it out at 9330.
That's the easy solution I wanted.
Hmm... you would have to create another branch off the revision of the original branch just prior to having been deleted. Then physically copy any changes in your orphan working copy to the newly-created branch.
I'm afraid there's no such thing as "undoing" anything in Subversion.

I've recently developed HP5+ pushed to 1600 which went through quite a bit scanning (at least 4 if not more) and I see no damage on the negatives. Same result with tmax 400 @400.
I prefer to avoid any hassle with airport security, specially in the countries which might be considered "hot". I would actually consider both, Jordan and Egypt to lean towards the "hot" side at the moment.
In both countries you can also expect your baggage is going to be scanned at the hotel (at least they did it in my hotels in both countries) on each entry. Better put the camera around your neck before you enter.

Collective blog for SQLOS team
The other day I came across a nice article written by Mario Broodbakker called "SQL Server Wait Events: Taking the Guesswork out of Performance Profiling" (see references) on how to troubleshoot slow response times in SQL Server 2000 and 2005 using the YAPP Method. According to the author, one of the biggest challenges to apply this method in SQL Server is that fact that the wait statistics are collected and exposed at the server level (server wide):
... "This is simply not enough, unless you have the luxury of testing your application and SQL statements on an isolated server" ..." But, of course, it's often hard or impossible to isolate and replicate production problems on an isolated test server." ...
I decided to write this because in SQL Server 2008 the wait statistics are available at virtually any level, and (at the time of writing) I couldn't find any articles on the new sqlos.wait_info and sqlos.wait_info_external extended events.
The YAPP Method: "Yet Another Performance Profiling Method" is based on a paper written by Anjo Kolk (see references). The basic idea of the method can be expressed with the following formula:
(1) Response time = service time + wait time
This method for performance troubleshooting has been around for some time and it is a fairly standard practice when debugging slow response times.
You can get the response time and the service time of a query by looking at sys.dm_exec_sessions, columns total_elapsed_time and cpu_time. Alternatively, you can use SQL trace or the more lightweight extended events in SQL Server 2008. Knowing response time and service time and applying formula (1), gives you wait time. So, we know how much we waited. However, in order to get the individual wait types we need the new extended events.
In SQL Server 2008 you can get wait statistics for a given session or statement by leveraging the new extended events. Optionally, you can limit the collection to a small set of wait types or collect only waits exceeding certain duration. If your event session is written carefully, you can use this technique on production systems with very little or no performance impact. In fact, SQL Server 2008 ships with a built-in event session, which is collecting wait statistics, and is running by default out of the box.
Here is how to create an event session to collect wait types for session 51. The events will go to the specified trace file:
create event session session_waits on server
add event sqlos.wait_info
(WHERE sqlserver.session_id=51 and duration>0)
, add event sqlos.wait_info_external
add target package0.asynchronous_file_target
(SET filename=N'c:\wait_stats.xel', metadatafile=N'c:\wait_stats.xem');
Here is how to start the event session, run your workload, and then stop the event session:
alter event session session_waits on server state = start;
exec sp_workload;
alter event session session_waits on server state = stop;
Here is how to read the trace file:
select * from from sys.fn_xe_file_target_read_file
('c:\wait_stats*.xel', 'c:\wait_stats*.xem', null, null)
The result is a list of wait events, representing individual waits, having wait type and duration column. In order to make better sense out of this we need to group the events by wait type and calculate the total duration per wait type. The following code can do this:
create view dbo.read_xe_file as
select object_name as event, CONVERT(xml, event_data) as data
from sys.fn_xe_file_target_read_file
('c:\wait_stats*.xel', 'c:\wait_stats*.xem', null, null)
create view dbo.xe_file_table as
, data.value('(/event/data/text)[1]','nvarchar(50)') as 'wait_type'
, data.value('(/event/data/value)[3]','int') as 'duration'
, data.value('(/event/data/value)[6]','int') as 'signal_duration'
from dbo.read_xe_file
, sum(duration) as 'total_duration'
, sum(signal_duration) as 'total_signal_duration'
from dbo.xe_file_table
group by wait_type
order by sum(duration) desc
Hopefully this example will demonstrate the power of sqlos.wait_info and sqlos.wait_info_external events. I did some measurements by executing the following workload from two connections:
create proc #sp_workload
SET nocount ON
CREATE TABLE #t1000k (c2 char(1020));
DECLARE @rows INT = 50000;
DECLARE @row INT = 0;
DECLARE @count INT = 0;
WHILE @row < @rows
INSERT INTO #t1000k (c2) VALUES (REPLICATE('a',1000));
SELECT @row = @row + 1
IF @count > 10
SELECT @count=0
SELECT @count=@count+1
While running the workload I had IOMeter (see references) so that I can add some disk pressure.
Results for session 51: Apparently, most of the time was spent waiting for space in the log buffer to store log records - wait type LOGBUFFER. For complete list of all wait types with their descriptions search for sys.dm_os_wait_stats in MSDN or Books Online (see references).
Results for session 52: The result for this session is very similar. We can tell that most of the time was spent waiting. After accumulating the durations from all waits we get 30726, which is pretty close to the total wait time calculated using sys.dm_exec_sessions (31484).
For the sake of completeness I also collected server-wide wait statistics, which are also available in previous version of SQL Server. The server-wide statistics clearly shows that we have IO bottleneck however you don't know exactly which session or query was affected and by how much:
Here is the complete source code of the test:
use tempdb
-- Enable xp_cmdshell to delete trace files
exec sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
exec sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1
drop proc #sp_workload
drop event session session_waits on server
exec xp_cmdshell 'del c:\wait_stats*.xel', no_output;
exec xp_cmdshell 'del c:\wait_stats*.xem', no_output;
declare @cmd nvarchar(max);
set @cmd = N'create event session session_waits on server ' +
N'add event sqlos.wait_info (WHERE sqlserver.session_id=' + convert(nvarchar(10), @@spid) + N' and duration>0) ' +
N', add event sqlos.wait_info_external (WHERE sqlserver.session_id=' + convert(nvarchar(10), @@spid) + N' and duration>0) ' +
N'add target package0.asynchronous_file_target (SET filename=N''c:\wait_stats.xel'', metadatafile=N''c:\wait_stats.xem'')';
drop table #snapshot
select total_elapsed_time, cpu_time into #snapshot from sys.dm_exec_sessions where session_id=@@SPID;
exec #sp_workload;
(es.total_elapsed_time - ss.total_elapsed_time) as 'Response time',
(es.cpu_time - ss.cpu_time) as 'Service time',
((es.total_elapsed_time - ss.total_elapsed_time) - (es.cpu_time - ss.cpu_time)) as 'Wait time'
from sys.dm_exec_sessions es, #snapshot ss where session_id=@@SPID;
drop event session session_waits on server
drop view dbo.read_xe_file
from sys.fn_xe_file_target_read_file('c:\wait_stats*.xel', 'c:\wait_stats*.xem', null, null)
drop view dbo.xe_file_table
drop view dbo.xe_file_table;
drop view dbo.read_xe_file;
drop proc #sp_workload;
The following MSDN article shows all wait types with their description: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179984.aspx

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
Illustrator can be used to accomplish many different design tasks. For this reason, Illustrator CS4 Essential Training teaches core concepts and techniques that can be applied to any workflow for print, the web, or assets that will find their way into other applications. Mordy Golding explains the elements that make up vector graphics—paths, strokes, and fills—and shows how to use each of Illustrator's drawing tools. He demonstrates how to combine and clean up paths, and organize them into groups and layers. Mordy also covers text editing, working with color, expressive brush drawing, effects, and much more. Exercise files accompany the course.
There are certain times in working with paths that you need to create an offset of that path. Let me explain exactly what I mean. I'm actually working with a file here, if you do have access to the exercise files, go ahead and open up from Chapter 05 the offset_path file. So what I'm doing now is I have this surfboard that I have created and may be I also want to may be on the inside over here create some kind of a design with like a border around it, to kind of comes out to the border just a little bit. So what I really need to do is kind of make a smaller version of the surfboard. However, you may know that when you chart a scale object that is not necessarily uniform in shape, the scale attributes are different from width and height.
So what do I mean by that? Well, if I want to make let's say a smaller version, the surfboard, and we will talk more about how I'm going to do this later on. We are going to learn about the Transformation tools. I'm actually going to use the Scale tool inside of Illustrator to make this a smaller version. I'll make a copy of it as I do that. So notice that I have not the same amount of space between here as I do on the ends. So because again, the surfboard itself is not at uniform kind of shape. Like for example, it started out, it's kind of close to an oval. So as I scale it, the scale is actually in proportion. But I don't necessarily get that exact same dimension that I might want in a particular design case. What I really want is I want the same amount of space to appear all the way around the inside of this and I can do the same thing may be if I wanted to have something along the outside as far as I border that way.
So I'm going to press Command+Z or Ctrl+ Z just to undo that. What I'm going to do right now is I'm going to take this, I'm going to use the Offset Path command to get the exact result that I want. I'm going to go over here to the Object menu, I'm going to choose Path and then I'm going to choose Offset Path, I'm going to get a dialog box, because Illustrator needs to know how much I want to offset by what amount. And what's great is this little Preview button. So for example I type-in preview, see how now I get basically the path itself is offset, I'm not getting an enlargement to that, it's not doing some kind of a scale, proportional scale. It's actually offsetting the path so that it's completely even on all sides around that. And for example right now it's at the 10 point, but I can do that may be 20 point, if I wanted a bigger one. But I actually want it to be on the inside, and the way that I can do that is basically specifying negative numbers. Let's say I do -10 and I hit the Tab key, I can see now that the Preview shows that I can now offset that path towards the inside of the path again because I use a negative number. When I click OK, I now have that shape that I'm working with. Now I can maybe fill this with a color and I'm good to go.
So that way I get the exact look that I'm looking for, and again I can do this as many times I want to. Offset Path is also-- I mean it's great to work on in outline type. Basically it gives you the ability to create these outlines that are perfect on all edges of the particular path and it's not the same as if you had scaled it. So whenever you need it, Offset Path is there for you.

Students place at regional History Day competition
March 25, 2015
Students from across the Eastside descended on Liberty High School on March 14 for the 2015 regional History Day competition.
History buffs from local school districts showed off their exhibits, performances, papers and websites.
Liberty's participation in the contest has grown over the years, buoyed by the success of its students qualifying for the national competition in Washington, D.C.
Passionate for the past
June 3, 2014
History Day competitors make it to nationals
Liberty High School student Lorrin Johnson is almost at a loss for words when asked to describe her love of history.
It's not because she can't find the words, it's just that she has so many things to say about her favorite subject, it's hard to whittle them down to a few coherent sentences.
"Don't get me started," she joked. "I've gone on rants about it before."
Liberty's renovation is the talk of earth-friendly buildings
May 13, 2014
Liberty High School students are keenly aware their school is undergoing a major modernization project, but they might not know the intricate details about the new building's environmental friendliness.
Liberty's renovation was part of a large-scale discussion at the school last month when the school's Sustainability Ambassadors hosted three assemblies about green-building practices.
The discussions, titled STAR Talks (Sustainability Tools for Assessing and Rating) were designed to give the student body a taste for what the new wave of building standards look like, particularly in regard to schools.

Tiger Mountain
Librarian hopes school will continue for years to come
My personal experience with Tiger Mountain Community High School was limited to about an hour and a half on Dec. 7, 1992.
I was at that time the young adult librarian at the Issaquah Library, and I visited the school to present a program to a group of young parents.
I didn't know what would be of interest, but I took along cloth books, board books, books about making toys or clothes or baby food — everything I could think of.
In my entire career as a librarian, I've never addressed such an interested, even rapt, audience! Those students were so keen to see the materials I'd brought. They loved the hand puppets (which at that time were for circulation), and some decided then and there to convert the stuffed toys they were scheduled to make into hand puppets instead. Their teacher agreed to help them with the project.
I was able to give every parent a copy of "Goodnight Moon," (and incidentally, I'd really had to work to persuade the library administration to let me have those books for that particular audience).
The teenagers were happy to show me their lovely babies after the program, and to tell me how they were caring for them — only 15 or 16 years old, but devoted caregivers.
I've often thought of those students and their children, children who would now be much older than their parents were in 1992. I do hope their lives turned out happily. I'm sure that attending Tiger Mountain Community High School helped a lot in that respect, and that the school will continue to assist all its students for years to come.

Molson Coors Brewing Company (NYSE:TAP) today announced the issue of its 2012 Corporate Responsibility (CR) Report, covering the company's performance in five key areas: Governance and Ethics, Alcohol Responsibility, Environmental Stewardship, Employees and Community and Responsible Sourcing.
"This past year, Molson Coors made considerable progress in improving what we call ' Our Beer Print,' our impacts on our communities, people and the environment," said Peter Swinburn, president and CEO of Molson Coors. "Our long-term success as a business depends upon sustainable water use, efficient energy consumption and responsible sourcing. Equally critical is responsible alcohol promotion and engagement of our people and stakeholders in working with us to improve Our Beer Print."
2020 Targets
As part of the 2012 CR report, Molson Coors has announced three ambitious 2020 goals, benchmarked to 2011: 1) improve energy efficiency by 25 percent, 2) increase water efficiency by 20 percent and 3) reduce carbon use by 15 percent."Our work toward achieving our 2020 targets will drive lower consumption of natural resources, both mitigating our impact and helping us to adapt to climate change," said Bart Alexander, chief corporate responsibility officer for Molson Coors. "Fresh water and energy are key to our business, and we intend to utilize these resources efficiently and responsibly." Corporate Responsibility Performance Highlights In 2008, Molson Coors set out to reduce energy and water use by 15 percent by the end of 2012. The company is on track to reach this goal. Molson Coors showed a positive trend in its 2011 environmental impact with:
- A two percent decrease in total water use versus 2010, and 15.25 million hectoliters of water will be saved by the end of 2012 versus 2008 – equivalent to the amount of water used to fill 610 Olympic swimming pools.
- A two percent decrease in absolute electricity use versus 2010, as part of the drive to reduce energy use.
- A 21 percent improvement in carbon emission efficiency versus 2008, enough to power 12,000 U.S. homes for a year.
- Selected for the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index, marking the first year that Molson Coors has been listed. Of the 143 companies listed on the 2011/12 North American Index, Molson Coors is one of only six Food and Beverage companies.
- Recognized as a leader in transparency and performance by the Carbon Disclosure Project, an accomplishment shared with only nine other S&P 500 companies.
- Launched 'Our Beer Print' to clearly articulate the company's CR strategy in a relevant way to employees and key stakeholders. As a result, corporate and environmental responsibility was one of the top three drivers of engagement for employees in 2011, with scores that outperformed the norm for high performing companies.
