The following is an archive of a post made to our

by one of its subscribers.
Hi everyone,
this may be a simple question, but I cannot seem to figure it out:
Is there any way to run a function, which expects a single value as an
argument, for each row returned from a select statement? Note that this is a
special function, used in the following way:
SELECT sum(length(the_geom )) as dist_meters
shortest_path_as_geometry('roads', 2192, 154) ;
In the above example the function "shortest_path_as_geometry" expects three
arguments... Is there any way to feed a function like this its arguments from
column returned from a previous select statement? Or, would this function
have to be re-written to allow for this flexibility?
thanks in advance,

Lead 1st pitch. Definitly a great classic of the crag encompassing all that's special about Dunkeld rock and climbing. The climb is unencumbered by excessive gear and the placements are just sufficient for someone climbing confidently at the grade (because of this it's probably not suitable as a first taste for someone new to climbing at Dunkeld). Rock is wonderfully varied, wavy and solid throughout. At top of first pitch a few nuts form a decent belay for the left traverse starting the 2nd pitch. Both pitches could probably be run into one. HVS variation looks good as well! Relies on friction on smooth rock in places so would probably be difficult in damp conditions.RobScotland - AltLd O/S - 22/Sep/07 with Ewan

People whose genes have given them a super-sharp sense of taste are more susceptible to colon cancer than those with duller palates, suggests new research.
"Supertasters" have an unusually large number of taste buds, giving them a "neon taste world", says Linda Bartoshuk, at Yale University, compared with the rather muted "pastel world" of nontasters. This means the bitter tastes of many green vegetables are much more intense for supertasters, so they eat less of them.
"This puts them at risk of certain cancers which the bitter compounds can protect against," she told the American Association for the Advancement of Science's annual conference in Denver.
A pilot study on colon cancer by Bartoshuk and Marc Basson, of the Wayne State University School of Medicine, showed that the number of cancerous polyps a patient had was directly related to their tasting ability.
However, it is not all bad news. Supertasters also find highly fatty or sugary foods less palatable that nontasters and tend to be slimmer. Research to be published by Bartoshuk's colleague, Valerie Duffy, indicates that supertasters have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, because of lower fat intake.
Unbearably bitter
Supertasters were already known have a higher risk of gynaecological cancers, but the link to colon cancer had not previously been established. Bartoshuk and Basson examined 200 older men with colon cancer. "In older men we found the number of polyps was related to the intensity of bitter perception," said Bartoshuk.
To distinguish the different types of tasters, the researchers developed a test involving filter paper impregnated with a chemical called 6M propothyiourea. Supertasters find this unbearably bitter, while nontasters experience nothing at all.
The researchers also found a link to ear infections. Although supertasters tend to eat less fat, those with a history of ear infections had an increased liking for high fat foods, and were usually heavier.
This is probably because "the ear infection damages your taste nerve to the point at which you can't taste bitter tastes," says Bartoshuk. "So it doesn't matter if you are a supertaster or not."
About a quarter of the US population are supertasters, a quarter nontasters and half are inbetween. Women are more likely to be supertasters than men, and Caucasian people are less likely to be supertasters than Asian people.

New book questions Baseball's Hall of Fame selection criteria
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
Baseball star Manny Ramirez returned back to playing this weekend with the Los Angeles Dodgers after being suspended 50 games for using a performance-enhancing drug.
The reaction by the fans in San Diego was mixed, but more positive than negative. That could have been because so many Dodger fans attended the game.
Ramirezâ return is not being cheered on by many of the nationâs sporting press, however.
MSNBCâs Keith Olbermann slammed Ramirez over the weekend on his blog on the Major League Baseball website.
But longtime journalist Zev Chafets thinks thereâs been too much hysteria by the media when it comes to baseball and steroids, and who qualifies for the Hall of Fame.
Chafets, a former news columnist for the New York Daily News, has just written a new book: âCooperstown Confidential: Heroes Rogues, and the Inside Story of the Baseball Hall of Fameâ. We spoke with him last Thursday, and asked him what prompted him to write about the Hall of Fame.
Weâll hear more from Chafets later this week on the Evening News.comments powered by Disqus

Chiredzi — AFTER successfully campaigning for President Robert Mugabe and Zanu-PF resulting in a controversial victory during last year's harmonised elections, it is now pay back time as former freedom fighters are demanding rewards in form of sugar cane plots.
The war veterans in Chiredzi, the country's sugar plantations, have asked government to give them a bigger share of the 10 000 hectares which may be expropriated from South African sugar milling giant - Tongaat Hullet.
The veterans claim they were promised the land during the election campaigns last year and had met Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) commander General Constantine Chiwenga several times where the issue has been discussed.
War veterans' spokesman for Masvingo province, Ezra Charinda, who is based in Chiredzi confirmed having held a series of meetings with the army chief.
Charinda, spokesman of the war veterans said they were "not demanding but were just asking" what was promised to them during the run up to the July 2013 harmonised elections.
"I am surprised if you say we are demanding because we are not demanding", said Charinda.
"This has been on the table and we are just saying let us have what has been on the table", he said.
"Since we are regarded as a reserve force falling under the Ministry of Defence we held a series of meetings during the run up to the polls with army chiefs including Chiwenga and this was tabled as one of our benefits if our party and president won the polls," he claimed.
Charinda said it is concerning that after 34 years of independence some former freedom fighters were still land less.
"We have some of our comrades who toiled during the liberation struggle and are still without land can't you see that it is unfair", he said.
Chiwenga could not be reached for comment.
Zanu-PF spokesman, Rugare Gumbo, said he was not aware of such demands by the former freedom fighters.
War veterans national leader, Jabulani Sibanda, said although he was not aware of such demands, war veterans must be honoured for supporting the party.
"As war veterans we believe we have to be thanked for the good work we do for the party and this might be in form of land or plots," said Sibanda.
However the demands by the former freedom fighters have come at a time when Power and Energy Development Minister, Dzikamayi Mavhaire, who is a senior party member in Masvingo province under which Chiredzi falls has urged transparency in the distribution of land especially plots for sugarcane production.
Mavhaire, somewhat contrary to the party's stance, said that all Zimbabweans should benefit equally from the land distribution and not specific interest groups.
"We have to make sure that this issue of sugar cane plots is handled in a good manner where those who already have farms should wait for those who have not benefited to get something," he was quoted as saying WHERE WAS HE QUOTED?.
"It does not make any sense to give sugar cane plots to those who already have some. If we do that as a party it will be a clear case of corruption", he said.
The government through the Masvingo political leadership intends to take over 10 000 hectares of land from Hippo Valley arguing that the company under-declared its land.
The government also claims that the company had pledged to share some land with locals and hence should honour the pledge.
Masvingo political leadership, led by Provincial Affairs Minister, Kudakwashe Bhasikiti, has formally approached government to be given the land.
A response is yet to be made.
War veterans are notorious for the land invasions that started in 2000.
The land invasions led to the controversial land reforms critics argue led to a decline in commercial agriculture and incessant food shortages.

LeAnn Rimes Back In Talks To Host X Factor
LeAnn Rimes is back in contention for a judging role on the X Factor. According to Examiner.com, Rimes name has been mentioned as a replacement for Britney Spears, who may be let go from the show after a lackluster first season.
Rimes was a past contender for a spot on the show, but was passed over for Spears and Demi Lovato.
Since Spears and Lovato became judges, the show's ratings have dropped by 25%.
It's rumored that if Rimes does get the job, she will earn somewhere between $1 to $9 million per season. Spears on the other hand was given $15 million.

Notes & Reviews:
"Maestro Thielemann presides over one of the most exciting, emotionally committed Mozart recordings to have appeared in quite some time. It is a grand performance, full of drama and big gestures. The 'Dies Irae' is a juggernaut heading straight for the cataclysm of Judgement Day. The Kyrie- Cum Sanctis double-fugue is intense to a fault as it builds inexorably (both times) to a shattering final cadence. If you've been duped into believing that Mozart tiptoed gently into that good night with the sounds of pipsqueak choirs and peppy little vocal runs dancing in his head, you may be in for a shock! Orchestrally, this is the best Mozart Requiem ever For my money, Thielemann's emotionally rich conception and stellar realization of the orchestral score propel his Mozart Requiem to the top rank of those currently available." -ARG

THERE can now be little doubt that BSE has jumped the species barrier from cows to people. Research published this week reveals that the agent that causes mad cow disease is indistinguishable from that responsible for the new variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD).
The findings, from a team led by Moira Bruce of the Institute for Animal Health's Neuropathogenesis Unit in Edinburgh, describes experiments in which material from the brains of three patients with vCJD was injected into the brains of mice from four different strains.
Bruce has shown that BSE has characteristic incubation times in these mouse strains that distinguish it from other similar diseases, such as the various strains of scrapie that affect sheep. Although she only has complete data from the first strain to succumb to vCJD, the incubation times match precisely with those for BSEwhich would be highly improbable if the two agents are not the ...

With the Golden Globes gaining column inches it has us thinking, who has lost inches and who has started their 2013 appearing rather fresh faced?
It's thought that there has been a lot of healing this festive period in tinsel town…from Sylvester Stallone's rumoured face-lift to Jennifer Westfeldt's proposed fillers.
The boys and girls of Hollywood have upped their game over the years and are now parading their new looks for literally the whole world to see.
Sylvester Stallone born 1946, is best known for his roles in Rocky and Rambo, and it is hard to believe that he is aging completely naturally.
It's thought that Stallone has undergone a facelift, traditional cosmetic surgery that is commonly practised and recognised for aiding the bid against aging, and that this has helped him to maintain his mainstream hero image.
Jennifer Westfeldt, actress and girlfriend of John Hamm, appears to have new smoother cheeks, a look that Juvederm VOLUMA® would achieve.
And it's not just the A-listers who are busy visiting the surgeon's offices – Hugh Jackman's wife Deborra-Lee Furness appears to have enhanced her features with rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) and botox in her forehead.
Whether you are looking for breast enlargement, buttock lift, liposuction, abdominoplasty, face lift or any other cosmetic procedures, The Hospital Group's team of surgeons are dedicated to aesthetic surgery and carry out thousands of procedures all designed to improve your appearance.

Fukushima vigil held at Yankee as plant shuts down for refuelingBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | March 11,2013LEN EMERY PHOTO
Two anti-nuclear protesters beat drums, chanted and burned incense Sunday outside the main gate at the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant in Vernon, in remembrance of the Fukushima nuclear disater in March 2011 in Japan.VERNON — A group of more than 40 anti-nuclear activists held a quiet vigil outside the gates of the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant Sunday morning, in remembrance of the Fukushima nuclear disaster two years ago.
About 12 hours earlier, the reactor had shut down for its regular refueling and maintenance outage, but from the outside, there were few clues that an extra workforce Entergy Nuclear says is in the hundreds were at work. In 2011, the company said it spent $65 million on new nuclear fuel alone for Yankee as part of a $100 million outage.
Entergy Nuclear spokesman Robert Williams sent out a press release early Sunday afternoon announcing the shutdown, saying the plant left the New England power grid at about 10 p.m. Saturday. The plant has been at reduced power for a couple of weeks, preparing for the shutdown.
But a special parking lot marked for outage workers, while plowed free of snow, was empty and showed no signs of traffic, and traffic was extremely light in and out of the plant's main gate.
The morning, hour-long vigil, organized by the Safe And Green Campaign, is part of three days of activities to mark the Fukushima nuclear disaster, which unfolded after the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami, which killed thousands of people and triggered the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl.
Vermont Yankee, like the Fukushima Daichi reactors, are General Electric Mark I containment reactors. There are 23 GE Mark 1 reactors in the United States, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff have proposed new safety systems at those reactors, something the nuclear industry is fighting tooth and nail.
Leslie Sullivan Sachs, a spokeswoman for the Safe and Green Campaign, said activists in several towns had "adopted" Japanese towns in the evacuation zone around Fukushima, to better learn what the actual impacts of a nuclear emergency and evacuation would mean.
She said Namie is a town outside Fukushima, similar in size to Brattleboro and within the 10-mile evacuation zone. Namie is, like Brattleboro is to Yankee, about five miles from the Fukushima reactors.
"Namie is now a ghost town, its 22,000 residents spread across Japan," she said. People don't trust the Japanese government or Tepco, the Japanese utility, to tell them the truth, and as a result people take their own radiation readings, she said.
"Hand-held dosimeters are now as common as cellphones," Sullivan Sachs said.
"Namie's lesson is that the unimaginable can happen, changing thousands of innocent lives forever, and a beloved community is no more," Sullivan Sachs said.
Putney activists have adopted the town of Iitate, which like Putney is relatively near a nuclear plant but outside the evacuation zone.
Sullivan Sachs and another activist, Ann Darling of Brattleboro, said they were working to educate people in the towns surrounding Yankee about what has happened to the towns around the Fukushima reactors in the past two years.
Williams said the outage marked a strong run of 493 days without shutting down, since the plant's last refueling outage was completed in November 2011.
While Yankee hadn't shut down there were several times when the plant had to scale back power production significantly because of various problems at the plant during that time frame.
Chris Wamser, Entergy Nuclear's site vice president, credited the Vermont Yankee workforce for the plant's excellent reliability.
"Running for 493 consecutive days is a testament to the condition of the plant and the safety focus of our workforce. During this refueling, we will take the time necessary to carefully perform testing, maintenance and capital improvements which will position the plant for safe and reliable operation for years to come," Wamser said in a prepared statement.
Entergy said the outage workers would pump $2.5 million into the local economy during their stay.
Vermont Yankee's refueling outage came despite predictions from at least one financial analyst, UBS, which has been predicting Entergy Nuclear would be forced to shut down one of its smaller nuclear reactors because of the increasing financial pressures on nuclear energy. But despite the dire predictions from UBS, Entergy Nuclear ordered a new load of nuclear fuel for Yankee, which will mark its 41st year of operation later this month.
How long Vermont Yankee will be shut down for refueling is unknown, as the company says it is proprietary information. Outages typically last about three weeks or longer as one-third of the nuclear fuel is transferred out of the reactor core into the nearby spent fuel pool. The outage can last longer, depending on the amount of maintenance work to be done.

A few minutes after 1 p.m. Pacific time on April 23, 2013, the U.S. equity markets fell sharply and within a few minutes recovered completely (see Figure 1). One would miss this event completely if one were looking at closing market prices. News articles later attributed the sharp fall to a rumor created by a hack on a news service's Twitter feed. For those managing the tail risks of investment portfolios, this rerun of the "flash" crash provided a real-time laboratory for identifying where market stresses might lie. High frequency events can also be a valuable source for statistics on rare events. Whereas rare events that occur over lower frequency, longer horizons are much harder to find (and hence much harder to derive statistics from), intraday events create a larger, more accessible data set that can be used to supplement data on tail events.

Something had to give.
With Palmer Ridge's girls' soccer team in the midst of an 11-game winning streak and Coronado riding an eight-game streak of its own, one team knew Tuesday night's tilt at Garry Berry Stadium would mean the end to one of them. That turned out to be the Cougars' streak, as the Bears used two goals from a freshman and a swarming defense to earn a 2-0 victory.

Intriguing Timing Of Sharp Announcement Suggests The iPad Mini Might Have New IGZO Display
Sharp has been hard at work on a new display technology known as IGZO which looks set to be a perfect solution for mobile devices. Not only does it offer higher touch sensitivity, but it's so energy efficient it can triple the battery life of devices. We've been expecting Apple to use IGZO displays for some time, but reports have suggested that Sharp simply cannot make them quick enough to meet the demand of Apple's consumers. However, it seems that's all changed.
Just hours ahead of Apple's iPad mini event in San Jose, Sharp has announced that it soon expects sales of its IGZO displays to surge.

Imagine this.
You're the only remaining member of your Airsoft team, playing in the final championship match in one of the most prestigious Airsoft tournaments the world has ever known. Everyone else has been wiped out and it is up to you, and only you, to bring home the trophy and bring glory to your team.
All that stands in your way is one man; one opponent. Fighting for the same reasons; Fighting for the same destiny.
And now, the battle begins:
You rush to advance your position while unleashing a furious barrage of cover fire. You manage to secure yourself a tactical advantage by establishing higher ground.
Your opponent panics. Out of pure desperation, he rushes out of cover.
This is it. This is your moment. The foolish player has handed victory to you on a silver platter.
You line up your shot. You take sweet aim. You pull the trigger.
You keep your cool. You pull the trigger again.
You start to sweat. In a second, reasons and questions flood your mind as you hopelessly pull the trigger again and again but to no avail.
You think, "Maybe it's the mag." As you desperately try to change your magazine, you notice your opponent has taken advantage of your unfortunate situation and has begun to close in on you.
You successfully change your magazine. You quickly take aim once again. You pull.
Frustration sets in.
"Why didn't I buy better gear? What was I thinking; going into an elite Airsoft tournament with second-rate items. I'm going to cost us the championship.."

Huntington Learning CenterRead MoreWithin each of Reed Manning Salon & Spa's colorful, calming oases, skilled aestheticians work diligently to revitalize appendages and foster relaxation. After seating patrons at cozy pedicure stations set against a charming beach-scene backdrop, specialists treat fatigued feet to the 45-minute classic pedicure, which includes a light filing, shaping, buffing, cuticle treatment, and more. The 30-minute classic manicure similarly nurtures table-tappers and rounds out serrated scissorhands, concluding with a fresh coat of polish in either the hue of your choice or the hue of a trusted tarot reader's choice.2125 Starmount PkwyChesapeake, VA US
Huntington Learning CentersRead MoreIn 1977, career educators Eileen and Raymond Huntington opened the first Huntington Learning Center in Oradell, New Jersey. Their mission to give every child the best education possible is still going strong. They use an individualized approach to education, adjusting instructional tactics according to each student?s particular needs. Due to their success in helping K?12 students prepare for exams and improve grades and study skills, there are currently 260 Huntington franchises open nationwide. The certified Huntington tutoring staff utilizes testing and rubrics for assessing each child?s skills, academic needs and potential for growth. Tutors note student response to different testing and academic situations to craft a methodology sensitive to each child?s learning style. Teachers adhere to the company?s code of ethics that stresses professionalism and confidentiality, encouraging students to improve grades honestly through dedicated study rather than shortcuts.5300 Kempsriver DriveKempsville, VA US
Virginia Beach School of the ArtsRead MoreAt The Virginia Beach School of the Arts' "Music Mommy & Me" classes, kids and parents sing together to learn musical terms such as rhythms, notes, piano, and orchestral instruments. These classes work hand-in-hand with "Baby School", another entertaining program to help kids learn things such as sign language, academic information, and mathematical concepts through music and movement. "Five layers in the Earth's atmosphere," the song begins. "Troposphere from here to 10 miles up. Stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Pass these, and then you're in outer space." So goes the song "Atmosphere," set to the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It." By setting these easy-to-confuse scientific terms to a familiar song and adding in simple hand motions, kids can absorb knowledge better than a paper towel set on an encyclopedia. This is the concept behind Acadamiacs, one of the programs that combines education and fine arts at The Virginia Beach School of the Arts. At the school, students learn important educational concepts such as reading and math; fine-arts concepts such as art, dance, and music; and social concepts such as following directions and listening skills. And while most classes are geared toward kids as young as 3 months old, adults are welcome in some courses, including private music lessons.3083 Brickhouse CtVirginia Beach, VA US
MorningStar Music Learning CenterRead MoreAt Virginia Beach School of the Arts, full-time music educator Wesley Stevenson and his finely tuned team of instructors teach students of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels. More than music, the school emphasizes music education as a vehicle for self-expression, and as a beacon for exploring the cavernous nooks of individual creativity.5541 Virginia Beach Blvd.Virginia Beach, VA US
The Nutrition and Wellness CenterRead MoreA naturopathic doctor (ND), certified nutritionist (CN), and certified natural health professional, founder of The Nutrition and Wellness Center, Julie Mitchell tailors individual wellness programs to address clients' specific needs. Relying on natural health enhancers such as gentle colon hydrotherapy, infrared therapy saunas, and nutritional coaching, Julie leads people to healthier habits and wards off encroaching threats to wellness, unlike the questionable medical advice of Mayor McCheese.151 Kristiansand Dr, Ste 101Williamsburg, VA US
Sylvan Learning CtrRead MoreThe staff members at Sylvan Learning's numerous study facilities understand that each child learns differently. Therefore, they don't try to implement a uniform tutoring system; instead, they design custom lesson programs based on the results of standardized testing, diagnostic tools, and one-on-one interviews. Tutors work with students from kindergarten through grade 12, illuminating topics ranging from basic reading and writing to remembering complex algebraic formulas without having them tattooed on your chest. Many of Sylvan's instructors work in local schools, so they are intimately familiar with common curricula and understand how to gear lessons toward optimal results. After-school and summer classes can ready high-schoolers for the rigors of the ACT or the SAT, or they can help students to wow college-admissions officers with their superior essay-writing skills.326 Smith Church RdRoanoke Rapids, NC US

A FIELD of free-ranging pigs still has rarity value. Most farmers raise pigs in barns and aim for maximum meat production. But in countries where animal welfare is a major public concern, such as Britain and to a lesser extent the US, an increasing number of animals are being turned out to live "naturally" in fields, with just a few sties for shelter.
These "extensive" methods of livestock management allow farmers to charge more for their meat. As with organically grown grain, customers will pay more for a product with a healthier, more environmentally friendly image. Farmers can also save money on housing, feed, veterinary care, heat and manure disposal. And free-ranging animals feeding on pasture satisfy the public, who associate the cramped conditions and concentrated feeds of intensive farming with suffering and cruelty.
But this common perception may be misplaced. Several animal scientists are pointing out that pigs, and ...

By DANNY P. SMITH
Starkville High School head boys basketball coach Greg Carter knows what it's like to play games inside Mississippi State's Humphrey Coliseum.
During his career with the Bulldogs from 1988-91, Carter got plenty of chances to play at the arena.
Now the high school team he coaches gets that experience.
The Yellowjackets will host a three-day tournament at Humphrey Coliseum on Dec. 28-30. The event is called the Travis Outlaw Slam Dunk at the Hump Christmas Tournament.
It's the first time SHS has hosted a holiday tournament and Carter is excited about what it can become.
"This has a chance to turn into something big," Carter said.
Carter and athletic director Stan Miller came up with the idea to have a holiday tournament in Starkville after a Mobile (Ala.) tournament the Jackets were supposed to play in last December was canceled due to a lack of funding.
"Dr. Miller mentioned that it would be nice if we had our own tournament so we started brain-storming, putting together ideas and we came up with having one at Humphrey Coliseum," Carter said.
Once Carter and Miller decided to go ahead with the idea, they had to work to make sure all of the pieces were ready to put together such an event.
They approached the administration at Mississippi State to see if the Humphrey Coliseum was available during that time and how much the rent would be.
"Mississippi State can't have a whole lot to do with this, but I can't say enough about Mississippi State's (athletic director) Scott Stricklin, Jay Logan and Duncan McKenzie for what those gentlemen have done to help make this as easy a transition as possible out there."
The Lady Bulldogs of coach Sharon Fanning-Otis will be out of town that week and the Bulldogs of coach Rick Stansbury won't need their home court until the Saturday following the prep tournament, which will be Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
"The schedule worked out and the timing was great," Carter said.
Carter and Miller plan to bring in out-of-state teams from Alabama (Birmingham), Louisiana (Monroe), Arkansas (Strong) and Tennessee (Memphis). Along with Starkville, area schools involved with the tournament will be West Oktibbeha, Columbus and Aberdeen. Meridian will also attend.
"We wanted to make this a premier tournament," Miller said. "What we tried to do is pick teams from different places. It's a great situation.
"I've got five other schools that want to be in the tournament next year already with one out of Florida, one out of Nashville and two or three out of Alabama. I think it's going to grow."
Former SHS player Travis Outlaw of the New Jersey Nets is the major sponsor and is why his name is attached to the tournament name. Miller said there will be banners up in Humphrey Coliseum recognizing Outlaw and his contribution.
"There's no telling what Travis has done for this community with the Boys and Girls club and helping our cheerleaders. He does everything in the world."
Other sponsors that will be involved are Aaron's, Bojangles and Applebee's. Miller is also using two local hotels to house two out-of-town teams each.
"We're providing meal and room accommodations," Miller said. "The basketball booster club will coordinate this thing and I'm working with them on that. Greg is working on the bracket."
Every team is guaranteed three games in a round-robin format. The action on the first two days will begin at approximately 3 p.m. with the final day starting at 10 a.m. so the schedule can be concluded for teams to make the return trip home. Ticket prices are projected to cost $7 each.
Miller believes the tournament has a chance to boost Starkville's economy during a time of the year that tends to be slow.
"It's a feather in the cap of the district, but also the community," Miller said. "We're bringing in some excellent fans."

Bar 355
By awoodall
Bar 355 is named for its address: 355 19th Street. The new owners are busy removing layers of history from the lounge. Not the storied decades as Mr. B's Restaurant & Lounge or Softnotes or other incarnations. The original signs from two of those incarnations still stand on the roof, high above the facade made from rocks.
They have been scraping away at the residue left behind by food, bourbon, whiskey, beer and smoke. They have a way to go but already the walls are new — royal blue with a gold fleur-de-lys stencil. The bar is long, stretching nearly to the end of the rectangular room.
I happened by yesterday on my way back from a run around Lake Merritt. (I was thinking that the lake has developed an even more serious problem with waste: aviary. To be blunt, the bird s— is layers thick in some spots, including near the Lake Chalet.) The door was open so I peeked inside.
I can tell already that it's a new era at 355 19th Street.

Hague backs plans to restrict discussions that could reveal MPs' intelligence
William Hague has backed plans to prevent intelligence being discussed in open conversation, particularly when it makes MPs look stupid. "As Secretary of Two Big, Important Things, I am ideally placed to reassure the public that I'm quite bright, really", explained Hague to a crowd of journalists. "This new rule means you can't ask me how I got this bucket stuck on my foot, or why I spent the first twenty minutes of this meeting in the broom cupboard."

Coating Materials
Inspired by one of nature's own defense mechanisms, scientists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) in Germany have discovered that tiny vanadium pentoxide nanoparticles can inhibit the growth of barnacles, bacteria, and algae on surfaces in contact with water, such as ship hulls, sea buoys, or offshore platforms.
A team of scientists working under Professor Dr. Wolfgang Tremel of the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry at JGU was inspired by certain enzymes found in brown and red algae that produce halogen compounds with a biocidal potential. It is assumed that these compounds are synthesized by the algae to protect them again microbial attack and predators. The chemists at JGU decided to mimic this process using vanadium pentoxide nanoparticles, a release from the university stated.
The university's experiments showed that steel plates with a coating containing dispersed vanadium pentoxide particles could be exposed to seawater for weeks without the formation of deposits of barnacles, bacteria, or algae. In comparison, plates that were coated only with the ship's normal paint exhibited massive fouling after exposure to seawater for the same period of time.
The discovery could lead to the development of new protective, antifouling coatings and paints that are less damaging to the environment and more cost effective than the current coatings in use, according to the university's release.
Vanadium pentoxide functions as a catalyst so that hydrogen peroxide and bromide combine to form small quantities of hypobromous acid, which is highly toxic to many microorganisms and has a antibacterial effect, according to JGU. The required reactants are present in seawater.
The process has been demonstrated both under laboratory conditions and in natural seawater. According to the university, it has very minimal consequences for the environment because the effect is restricted to micro-surfaces. The metallic oxide is particularly potent when it is present in the form of nanoparticles because then, due to the larger surface area, there is an enhanced catalytic effect.
"Vanadium pentoxide nanoparticles, due to their poor solubility and the fact that they are embedded in the coating, are considerably less toxic to marine life than are the tin- and copper-based substances used in the commercially available products," explained Dr. Tremel. "Here we have an environmentally compatible component for a new generation of antifouling paints that employ the natural defense mechanism used by marine organisms."
Ron Wever, the team's Dutch cooperation partner from the University of Amsterdam, has been investigating such natural defense mechanisms for the last 15 years. He suggested adding the enzyme involved to antifouling paints. The chemists at JGU are no working together with Wever to develop vanadium pentoxide nanoparticles.
A research group at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, headed by Dr. Klaus Peter Jochum, has been conducting experiments to determine whether the use of vanadium pentoxide might have a negative effect on the environment. Using a sensitive ICP mass spectrometer, the scientists determined the concentration of vanadium in various samples of seawater that had been exposed to the coated material for different lengths of time and found that levels were only slightly elevated above the normal average vanadium concentration in seawater.
More information is available from JGU.

'Argo' begins with a frightening recreation of angry Iranians storming the U.S. embassy in 1979. Fifty-two Americans were taken hostage and held more than a year.
In the movie, Ben Affleck plays a CIA operative who dreams up a plan to free the hostages.

Angry passengers were reported to have grounded the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, last Thursday. They had booked to fly to the Margaret Ekpo International Airport in Calabar but were delayed for hours due to, as the airline later explained, the movement of VIPs and bad weather. By the time the aircraft was cleared to fly, it was well behind schedule, and, by the time it reached Calabar, the station manager had closed the airport. There was no lighting at the airport and the aircraft had to return to Abuja.
It is unfortunate that the nation has witnessed another awful embarrassment -- another security breach at one of its leading international airports. The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, has expressed its displeasure over the incident, but, according to the spokespersons of the airline, Arik Air, concerted efforts were made to pacify the passengers: they were offered flight seats to Uyo but a number of them refused while about 45 passengers accepted the offer. The NCAA, citing the Consumer Bill of Rights, has stated that the passengers are entitled to compensation from the airline for the three hours' delay. But the matter is more complicated.
Security breaches at our airports are becoming frequent. From airplanes running into cows at the airport tarmacs to adventurers driving onto the tarmacs and into the underbelly of aircraft in addition to stowaways, they are both alarming and embarrassing for the nation. Why, in the first place, did air traffic control in Abuja clear the flight when it knew that the lights at the Calabar airport would have been switched off when the service would arrive at its destination? It is rather curious that instead of the NCAA to investigate and deal with the picketing of the airport, it is already threatening to punish the airline. What signal is this sending to the world about the safety of our airports? We are concerned about the current state of professionalism - if it still exists at all - at the NCAA. The aviation ministry recently stated that it was repositioning its airports to be competitive internationally. We hope the envisaged reform includes the thorny issue of security.
The NCAA should wake up to its responsibility as the agency charged with ensuring that airports are safe and secure. The closure of the Margaret Ekpo Airport for the reason of poor lighting is most indicting. Any international airport or landing facility under the NCAA that endangers the lives of citizens and visitors alike over such a sickening excuse needs a massive intervention. And this has unfortunately exposed the lie in the so-called renovation and repositioning for competition and development.

The sunshine vitamin may help fight multiple sclerosis. Researchers are testing vitamin D supplements in multiple sclerosis patients So far, they've only studied it in animals.
In mice, with a rodent form of multiple sclerosis, vitamin D appears to block immune cells that cause damage from migrating to the central nervous system, reserachers say that could explain why so-called "sunshine vitamin" may prevent or ease symptoms of MS.
"With this research, we learned vitamin D might be working not by altering the function of damaging immune cells but by preventing their journey into the brain," says study leader Anne R. Gocke, Ph.D., an assistant professor of neurology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "If we are right, and we can exploit Mother Nature's natural protective mechanism, an approach like this could be as effective as and safer than existing drugs that treat MS."
The quest to understand the role of the nutrient began with the observation that the disease is more prevalent in regions of the world farthest from the equator where there is less sunshine, the main natural source of vitamin D.

As the same procedure as last year John Bartelle made some predictions for the new year. They are really interesting and I can agree to most of his statements. Particularly the point that the mobile Internet needs one more year to have its break through, although all mobile phone companies evangalize mobile internet for this year. At the moment we are in the typical hype phase but before a delivery to the mass market we need some more iterations between- or who is talking about second life at the moment?
