In SQL Server 2008 Essential Training, Simon Allardice explores all the major features of SQL Server 2008 R2, beginning with core concepts: installing, planning, and building a first database. Explore how Transact-SQL is used to retrieve, update, and insert information, and gain insight into how to effectively administer databases. The course also covers features outside SQL Server's database engine, including technologies that have grown up around it: SQL Server Reporting Services and Integration Services. Exercise files are included with the course.
It's very common that as you start inserting information into your databases, what you're going to need or at least what your applications are going to need is to find out a bit more information about what you just inserted. Particularly in the case where you are inserting information into a table that is going to generate keys for you, either identity columns like this one, ProductCategoryID just going up one by one, or guids that are being built as well or perhaps both at the same time.
But in the INSERT example we saw before, all that I'm inserting is a ParentProductCategoryID and a name, because the guids and the identities are being generated for us. Now, we want to get that information after this INSERT has happened. This used to be a bit of a problematic thing to do. In fact often what you used to have to do is write little pieces of code to generate that guid yourself and then insert it yourself, so that you knew what it was. Well, it's a lot simpler these days. What we just do is we take our INSERT statement and we change it just a little bit.
See, before the VALUES that we were inserting, I'm using this new clause called OUTPUT. And we can actually use this on an INSERT, we can use it on an UPDATE, we can use it on a DELETE. OUTPUT is a special kind of a unique clause here. What it allows us access to is the inserted columns that are just about to happen and it knows they haven't happened yet, but it knows that we will have them. In fact, if I say OUTPUT inserted, notice that inserted is in IntelliSense, and I hit that, I hit the dot, and that's even smart enough to tell me here in IntelliSense, "Well, you are inserting into ProductCategories, so these are your only options.
Which one would you like?" Well! Let's say that what I want to do is I want to find the ProductCategoryID that's going to be generated as an identity field. And now when I hit Execute, what happens is I don't just get the phrase "one row affected," I get the new ProductCategoryID that I just created, which was ProductCategoryID number 56. Now you can even output multiple inserted values. So I can hit comma. I want now the inserted guid that's happening there.
I have got to be careful because I'm running another INSERT statement and Commuter Bikes already inserted there and that has to be unique. So I'll just change that to Custom Bikes, hit Execute, and we get back 57, which was to be expected. And the new generated rowguid. That again is being set because there's a default constraint on the ProductCategory table that will generate a new rowguid every time. Now in essence, what's going to happen here is if you've got an application that is executing this code, it's almost like having a mini SELECT statement that returns these values afterwards.
It's just a lot easier to write. And we can see later how this might be added to and inserted into say a stored procedure to make it a bit more friendly and a bit more reusable. But this is the general idea of using OUTPUT clause. In fact, I will show you another example. If I wanted to do a DELETE, I'm going to say that I'm going to DELETE FROM, same table not surprisingly. Again usually I just put the WHERE clause. Always want a WHERE clause when I'm doing this DELETE.
So ProductCategoryID = well let's say the one that we just entered in a couple minutes ago, which was 56. And again, I'm putting in the OUTPUT clause. Well! It's not going to be inserted this time around. That doesn't make sense but I will have an OUTPUT deleted. and I can say I'd like to know what the Name was. I'd like to know what the deleted guid was. We hit Execute and it tells us the name was Commuter Bikes and that was the rowguid.
So we can get that information back as well. I try and execute that again, not surprisingly I get no output because there is no row with ProductCategoryID equal to 56 anymore. Now it can also be used on an UPDATE statement but it's probably not what you are expecting. Here's the deal. When we construct a regular UPDATE statement here such as UPDATE SalesLT.ProductCategory, of course we have to use our SET, what are we actually doing here. I am going to just do a SET parent ProductCategoryID = 1, WHERE ProductCategoryID = 57.
Now, usually you might be ahead of me, thinking well, we put the OUTPUT in here and we had an inserted. for insert and a deleted. for deleted. So presumably we have an updated. And no, we don't. Here's the deal. What that inserted word and the deleted word represent is essentially a temporary table in memory. If we do an INSERT, the inserted table represents what happened after the INSERT.
If we do a DELETE the deleted table represents what got deleted and if we do an UPDATE, we don't have an updated one. Wat we really have is the inserted table. It's the changes that were made. So if I want to say output some information about the roq that's just getting updated, I could say OUTPUT inserted.Name. So hit that Execute and we find that we have just updated ProductCategoryID number 57 with a ParentID of 1 where the name was Custom Bikes and we are able to get that information out about what we just updated.
Nine times out of ten, the real use for the OUTPUT clause is going to be after an INSERT. That's the most important thing for most application developers is allow them to insert a new row and find out immediately what the identity or the guid of that row was, but it can also be used with your UPDATE and with your DELETE.

Summary. Background: The risk of venous thrombosis associated with major illnesses is not well known, and neither is the risk associated with the combined effect of immobilization and thrombophilia. The aim of this study was to assess the effect on the development of venous thrombosis of several major illnesses in combination with immobilization, body mass index, and thrombophilia, to identify high-risk groups that may provide a basis for personalized prevention.Methods: This study included 4311 consecutive patients with a first episode of venous thrombosis, and 5768 controls from a case–control study (MEGA study). We calculated odds ratios (ORs) for venous thrombosis for patients with a self-reported history of major illnesses.Results: Venous thrombosis risk was increased for all investigated major illnesses: liver disease, OR 1.7 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.0–2.9); kidney disease, OR 3.7 (95% CI 2.3–5.9); rheumatoid arthritis, OR 1.5 (95% CI 1.2–1.9); multiple sclerosis, OR 2.4 (95% CI 1.3–4.3); heart failure, OR 1.7 (95% CI 1.2–2.3); hemorrhagic stroke, OR 4.9 (95% CI 2.4–9.9); arterial thrombosis, OR 1.5 (95% CI 1.2–1.8); and the presence of any of the above major illnesses, OR 1.7 (95% CI 1.5–1.9). Combinations of major illnesses with immobilization and increased factor VIII (OR 79.9; 95% CI 33.2–192.2), increased FIX (OR 35.3; 95% CI 14.2–87.8), increased von Willebrand factor (OR 88.0; 95% CI 33.9–228.3), FV Leiden (OR 84.2; 95% CI 19.5–363.6), and blood group non-O (OR 53.1; 95% CI 30.9–91.4) were associated with increased venous thrombosis risks.Conclusions: All of the major illnesses reported here were associated with an increased risk of venous thrombosis. These risks were most pronounced at the time of immobilization or in the presence of thrombophilia.

Coating Materials
Protective and industrial coatings brightened AkzoNobel's otherwise-struggling second quarter, with the Dutch coating giant turning in single-digit revenue growth built largely on price increases, according to company financials released Thursday (July 19).
In its first quarter under new CEO Ton Büchner, Akzo Nobel N.V. reported an 8 percent increase in revenue from the year-ago period, mainly driven by pricing actions.
Second-quarter earnings (EBITDA) for Q2 were also 8 percent higher, at €593 million (about $727.8 million US). Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were €1.12 ($1.37 US), up from €1.09 ($1.33 US) in the same period in 2011.
Making Progress
Sales volumes declined 2 percent overall, due primarily to the economic slowdown in Europe. "The economic environment remains the principal sensitivity in 2012," AkzoNobel said in a release.
Nevertheless, the company said that its global performance improvement program, launched in mid-2011, was "making good progress" and would reap greater results in the second half of 2012. AkzoNobel has laid off about 1,000 employees since the program began, including 800 in 2012.
Performance Coatings Improve
AkzoNobel drew strength from its Performance Coatings business, although individual units varied widely.
Overall revenues increased by 12 percent over the same period in 2011, driven by strong growth in Industrial Coatings (from acquisitions) and Marine and Protective Coatings (due to strong demand in protective coatings).
Marine and Protective Coatings revenue was up 15 percent over 2011, although marine volumes declined with the slowdown in the new shipbuilding market. Protective Coatings volumes increased across most regions, with especially good growth coming from the oil and gas businesses.
The company reported "notable success" in the quarter with coatings supplied to "mega" projects commissioned by the oil majors Chevron, Total and Shell.
Industrial Coatings revenue climbed 28 percent, mainly due to acquisition activity. Coil Coatings' construction-related business achieved strong growth in the high-growth markets of Turkey and Russia. Packaging Coatings' beverage and food-related business continued to increase its top line, especially in Asia, while Specialty Finishes gained in the automotive and consumer electronics markets.
Automotive and Aerospace revenues remained flat, while Powder Coatings revenues climbed 7 percent.
Other Segments, Challenges
The Decorative Paints business achieved a 6 percent revenue increase in the second quarter, as gains in the Americas and Asia offset flat demand in Europe. EBITDA was down 8 percent, reflecting weaker European market conditions. Restructuring continued in Europe and other mature markets.
Specialty Chemicals revenue was up 6 percent, thanks to margin management, the Boxing Oleochemicals acquisition and currency effects. EBITDA rose 16 percent higher, the company said, reflecting improved margins and continued cost restructuring. Volumes dipped 2 percent below the previous year.
AkzoNobel continued to battle raw materials costs but said that the quarter had benefited from increasing supply from China and reduction in global demand.
However, the company also expressed concern about the European economy, delayed recovery of the U.S. real-estate market, and the potential for a slowdown in Asia.
Büchner: Solid Businesses, Strong Markets
"The overall performance in our Q2 results is solid, given the increasingly difficult economic environment," said CEO Ton Büchner, who assumed his position at the end of April.
"In my first few months as CEO, I have spent a great deal of time with our customers, employees and shareholders, and have also visited many of our factories around the world," he said.
"My initial observations are that we have solid businesses and many strong market positions. The opportunity remains to increase return on capital, cash generation and margins, which is why the immediate priority for me and the leadership team is performance improvement."

Editorial: Politics obscure science on climate change
There is an old saying among lawyers: If you can't argue the facts, argue the law, and if you can't do either, attack the opposing counsel.
Something like that has happened with the release of the third National Climate Assessment, 840 pages of scientifically reviewed data that confirm what anybody with a TV or who has walked outside into a swarm of unfamiliar mosquitoes, ankle-deep dust or a heavy, unseasonable snowfall already knows: Our climate is changing and generally not for the better.
The assessment concluded, as have others before it, that the effects of climate change "are expected to become increasingly disruptive across the nation throughout this century and beyond."
Unable to argue the facts, the elected representatives of fossil-fuel states and conservative think tanks funded by energy companies quickly went after opposing counsel — Barack Obama. GOP Senate leader Mitch McConnell of the coal-producing state of Kentucky said darkly that President Obama would use the report as a "platform to renew his call for a national energy tax."
Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., charged "the president is attempting to once again distract America from his unchecked regulatory agenda that is costing our nation millions of job opportunities and our ability to be energy independent."
The Cato Institute, co-founded by energy multibillionaire Charles Koch, said the report was meant to justify "federal regulation aimed towards mitigating greenhouse gas emissions."
Meanwhile, some of America's hottest and wettest and, in some places, hottest and driest, years in history have gone into the record books.
A powerful bloc in Congress is opposed to any long-term solutions, preferring to blame Obama for the weather. (For the record, the report was ordered up by Congress, not the White House.) Sen. David Vitter, R-La., says the report, rather than scientific, is "more of a political one used to justify government overreach."
Call us cynical, but if sea levels rise between one foot and four feet over the next several decades, as the report predicts, we expect Vitter to be first in line at the Treasury Department reaching for a large amount of taxpayers' cash to bail out and bulwark his sea-level state.

Alex Joseph, winner of the 2007 BAFTA for Best Sound, goes to great lengths to obtain the sound effects he needs. His recent work, including "Hannibal Rising" and "Casino Royale," are no exceptions.
To create appropriately gory and gruesome effects for the Hannibal prequel, Joseph used pig hearts, sides of beef, racks of ribs, grapefruit, coconuts, melon, celery and sugarcane, and retreated with his stash to London facility Soundelux. His microphones of choice included the DPA 4060 for high sensitivity, while the low sensitivity 4062 mounted on the blades of various knives, cleavers, hacksaws and scalpels. Joseph's techniques included snapping celery and sawing sugarcane to emulate bones fragmenting.
For another scene, Joseph used DPA's 8011 Hydrophone underwater mic to capture the sound of Hannibal dunking an adversary into a vat of formaldehyde. This required an underwater recording of the victim's screams, one from Hannibal's perspective looking down at him, plus the sound of the machinery lowering him down.
DPAs were also featured heavily in the recent remake of "Casino Royale." Two 4060s were used as binaural mics inside Bond's Aston Martin, with a 4062 capturing the lower end sounds of the exhaust and the engine respectively.
The most-used microphone in Foley recording for the Bond film was a larger DPA model, the 4006 omni, especially for "bigger than life" effects that are associated with the long-running film franchise.

Leica screw 28.8 mm
Leica M 27.95 mm
It therefore follows that an adapter for a LTM lens on a Leica M body must be 0.85 mm thick. If you have a micrometer and can check your adapters, you should find they are OK in this respect. From an optical point of view, it does not matter at all where the witness mark for the lens focus is positioned - cosmetically it looks neatest if it is in the 12 o'clock position, but the lens will work fine even if this is not the case. Of course rectangular lens hoods need to be positioned squarely and will have to be adjusted if the lens position is off. In general, you should find that Voigtländer adapters are better made.

At Sea Two
The piping of the boatswain's whistle…
"Now hear this!
Cleaning stations fore and aft,
All hands man your cleaning stations!"
The shrill, low, high, low whistle sounded again.
Hanging the HEAD SECURED sign on the outside,
swinging the hatch shut, securing it from the inside,
lighting a cigarette, the young man went to work…
Bong! A hollow, metallic, Bong!
Anxious to use the head, Bong!
A seaman pounding on the secured hatch.
Jesus, can't he read?
"Deck's just been swabbed!"
"Try one'a the other heads!"
The piping of the boatswain's whistle...
"Now hear this! Secure all duty stations!
All hands report for work parties!"
The whistle sounded again.
In foul weather,
cutting through waves,
the bow of the ship rises above the water's crest
and as it passes over the swell and drops into its trough,
depending on the height of the crest and the depth of the trough,
it descends,
striking the water with a shuddering crash.
Powerful winds howling through the constantly shifting
rigging playing a discordant, lunatic's cacophony,
the prow rose, ascending upward and upward, until, momentarily,
all the man on watch was able to see was a world of roiling black clouds
as the ship seemingly was pushed backwards on the water's precipitous turbulence.
Three-hundred-eleven feet aft,
the twin propellers rose out of the water to spin uselessly
as the ship hesitated on the crest of the wave for an eternal heartbeat,
as the torrent's momentum pushed the ship backward,
the propellers bit once again and, tottering,
the ship slid off the crest of the giant wave into its dark-green,
near vertical trough, where it picked up rollercoaster speed and,
with a shuddering crash,
the prow struck, submerged, and flung a sheet of water backwards,
dousing the shivering lookout on the flying bridge,
sending driblets of cold water down the back of his foul-weather gear.
Now the man on watch saw only boiling green water.
Rising… Rising, again…
Plummeting again…
Below deck:
Rotating with the motion of the ship,
the crew instinctively rotated their bodies from hip to hip
as their legs alternatively became longer and shorter.
In the galley:
Hissing, spitting, water and cooking oil sloped out of
secured pots and pans onto gas flames and hot griddles.
Chow trays slid from side to side on the long tables as the men
held onto their trays with one hand and the bench they sat on with
the other while waiting for a level moment when they were able to
release either the tray or bench long enough to shove some food into
their mouths before dropping their fork or spoon to grab hold of the
tray or bench again.
At night:
Lying awake, listening as a forgotten screwdriver maddeningly rolled from one side,
clanking into the bulkhead…
then, rattling as it rolled, to the other side.
Shifting from side to side, subconsciously hanging onto the bunk frame…
occasionally falling off.
The seas abated.
The winds subsided.
The air cold, invigorating.
Clouds floated from here to infinity.
Forward, to the east, beautiful to behold in the intense,
cerulean blue heavens, virginally white clouds formed thin,
stuttering banks broken by ragged strips of deep blue sky.
To the north and west the clouds were thick and puffy with stark, solid appearing, three dimensions,
leaving the definition of their phantom shapes to the eye,
and imagination of whomever was looking.

It wasn't "The Catch," but it certainly was "A Catch," and a very important one at that. Austin Jackson is giving the Detroit Tigers the best long-term center field play since the days of Mickey Stanley (1964-78), and the current occupant has a case for being better by dint of superior speed. Stanley seldom left his feet to make a catch, simply because he didn't have to. His route to the ball was always straight and true. Same thing for Jackson, although he astonished witnesses when he left his feet in the 10th inning Wednesday to make a game-saving catch of what looked to everybody to be an RBI double or triple into the gap in right-center. Probably a triple, since the hitter was fleet Toronto Blue Jays rookie Anthony Gose. "I couldn't see him at first," Alex Avila said. "I thought the ball was in the gap.

Press release from GlobeNewswire (a Nasdaq OMX company)
Loral Reports Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results
Wednesday, November 09, 2011
Loral Reports Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results13:59 EST Wednesday, November 09, 2011NEW YORK, Nov. 9, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Loral Space & Communications Inc. (Nasdaq:LORL) today announced its financial results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA1 for the third quarter and first nine months at Telesat continued to be strong. Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA1 for the third quarter and first nine months at Space Systems/Loral (SS/L) were in line with the company's expectations, although lower than for the same periods in 2010. Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for all segments before eliminations for the third quarter of 2011 were $473 million and $180 million, respectively, compared to $527 million and $207 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2010. Combined segment revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of the year were $1.42 billion and $560 million, respectively, compared to $1.43 billion and $546 million, respectively, for the first nine months of 2010. All of Telesat's revenue and Adjusted EBITDA are included in these segment results2. Loral's income statement, however, reflects its 64 percent economic interest in Telesat under the equity method of accounting. Loral's revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter after eliminations were $269 million and $23 million, respectively, compared to $323 million and $52 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2010. Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2011 after eliminations were $801 million and $83 million, respectively, compared to $832 million and $94 million, respectively, for the first nine months of 2010. The eliminations include all of Telesat's results. Driven by a large swing in the U.S. dollar versus Canadian dollar exchange rate, Loral reported a net loss in the current quarter of $77 million compared to net income of $72 million in the third quarter of 2010. For the first nine months of 2011, net income was $20 million compared to net income for the first nine months of 2010 of $82 million. Diluted loss per share for the quarter was $2.52 compared to diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2010 of $2.29. For the first nine months of 2011 diluted earnings per share was $0.63 compared to diluted earnings per share of $2.63 for the first nine months of 2010. Loral's available cash increased to $239 million compared to $166 million at the end of 2010, and liquidity continues to be enhanced by the availability of the SS/L $150 million revolver which remains undrawn. Business Unit ReviewSatellite Manufacturing In the third quarter of 2011, SS/L reported revenue before eliminations of $269 million which compares to $325 million in the third quarter of 2010. Revenue before eliminations for the first nine months of 2011 was $802 million compared to $837 million for the first nine months of 2010. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2011 was $27 million compared to $56 million in the third quarter of 2010 and Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2011 was $96 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $106 million for the first nine months of 2010. During the third quarter, SS/L was awarded a contract from Intelsat for two large and powerful satellites that will be used by DIRECTV in Latin America, driving a strong quarter end backlog of $1.5 billion. Last month, the SS/L-built ViaSat-1 was successfully launched, and the company shipped AsiaSat 7 to the launch base a month ahead of the contracted date for delivery. AsiaSat 7 is scheduled for launch on November 26. "From an operating perspective, SS/L continues the excellent performance of recent quarters delivering a 10 percent Adjusted EBITDA margin, notwithstanding a less than optimal mix of satellite production work in the factory during the quarter," said Michael B. Targoff, Chief Executive Officer of Loral Space & Communications. "Comparisons to last year are skewed by the unusually high 17 percent Adjusted EBITDA margin achieved in the third quarter of 2010 and do not alter management's outlook for the fourth quarter of this year or for next year."Satellite Services Telesat revenue for the third quarter of 2011 was $204 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $157 million, reflecting a small increase over revenue of $202 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $154 million in the third quarter of 2010. Telesat revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2011 was $617 million and $476 million, respectively, also higher than revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of $593 million and $450 million, respectively, in the first nine months of 2010. Third quarter financial metrics at Telesat continue to be strong. Backlog of $5.3 billion remains strong, and cash, including short-term investments, of $189 million, with $146 million of borrowing availability under its revolving credit facility, continue to demonstrate Telesat's financial soundness. Future growth at Telesat will be driven by the Nimiq 6 satellite, which we expect to be launched in the first half of 2012, and the Anik G1 satellite, which is expected to launch in the second half of 2012. The Canadian payload on ViaSat-1, fully leased to Xplornet (previously Barrett Xplore) for broadband services in rural Canada, is expected to go into service by the end of the year and will also contribute to growth in 2012. As a result of the solar array anomaly on Telstar 14R following its launch in May, Telesat filed an insurance claim for approximately $125 million. The claim is currently under review by the insurers and any proceeds that are received are expected to be invested in new satellites.Strategic Alternatives With regard to the previously announced process to explore strategic alternatives for Telesat, Telesat and its shareholders have explored, but have concluded not to pursue, a significant dividend recapitalization at this time. Telesat may from time to time continue to evaluate strategic alternatives and explore other refinancing or recapitalization opportunities. With regard to strategic alternatives for SS/L, Loral is continuing to focus primarily on a spin-off.Conference Call Loral's chief executive officer Michael B. Targoff will host a conference call and webcast on Thursday, November 10, at 11:00 a.m. ET to discuss the company's third quarter 2011 results. To participate, please dial (973) 200-3060 or toll free at (877) 831- 3841 prior to the scheduled start of the call.

A full discussion of Loral's results is contained in the company's Form 10-Q, which was filed today and will be available on the company's web site at www.loral.com or on the SEC's EDGAR service at www.sec.gov.About Loral Space & Communications Inc.

LORL-F This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this press release, the words "believes," "expects," "plans," "may," "will," "would," "could," "should," "anticipates," "estimates," "project," "intend" or "outlook" or other variations of these words or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements and information. In addition, Loral Space & Communications Inc. or its representatives have made or may make forward-looking statements, orally or in writing, which may be included in, but are not limited to, various filings made from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and press releases or oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer of the company. Actual results may differ materially from anticipated results as a result of certain risks and uncertainties which are described as "Risk Factors" and in the "Commitments and Contingencies" note to our financial statements in the current Form 10-Q, filed today, and in Loral's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The reader is specifically referred to these documents, as well as the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to (1) risks associated with financial factors, including swings in the global financial markets, financial covenants in SS/L's credit agreement, increases in interest rates and access to capital; (2) risks associated with satellite manufacturing, including competition, cyclicality of SS/L's end-user markets, contractual risks, creditworthiness of customers, performance of suppliers and management of our factory and personnel; (3) risks associated with satellite services, including dependence on large customers, launch delays and failures, in-orbit failures and competition; (4) regulatory risks, such as the effect of U.S. export control and economic sanction laws; and (5) other risks, including litigation. The foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. Furthermore, Loral operates in an industry sector where securities values may be volatile and may be influenced by economic and other factors beyond Loral's control.1 The common definition of EBITDA is "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization". In evaluating financial performance, we use revenues and operating income before depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation (excluding stock-based compensation from SS/L Phantom SARs expected to be settled in cash) gain on disposition of net assets and directors' indemnification expense ("Adjusted EBITDA") as the measure of a segment's profit or loss. Adjusted EBITDA is equivalent to the common definition of EBITDA before: gains on disposition of net assets, directors' indemnification expense, gains or losses on litigation not related to our operations; other expense; and equity in net income (loss) of affiliates. Adjusted EBITDA allows us and investors to compare our operating results with that of competitors exclusive of depreciation and amortization, interest and investment income, interest expense, gain on disposition of net assets, directors' indemnification expense, gains or losses on litigation not related to our operations, other (expense) income and equity in net income (loss) of affiliates. Financial results of competitors in our industry have significant variations that can result from timing of capital expenditures, the amount of intangible assets recorded, the differences in assets' lives, the timing and amount of investments, the effects of other (expense) income, which are typically for non-recurring transactions not related to the on-going business, and effects of investments not directly managed. The use of Adjusted EBITDA allows us and investors to compare operating results exclusive of these items. Competitors in our industry have significantly different capital structures. The use of Adjusted EBITDA maintains comparability of performance by excluding interest expense. We believe the use of Adjusted EBITDA along with U.S. GAAP financial measures enhances the understanding of our operating results and is useful to us and investors in comparing performance with competitors, estimating enterprise value and making investment decisions. Adjusted EBITDA as used here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by competitors. We also use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate operating performance of our segments, to allocate resources and capital to such segments, to measure performance for incentive compensation programs and to evaluate future growth opportunities. Adjusted EBITDA should be used in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial measures and is not presented as an alternative to cash flow from operations as a measure of our liquidity or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance.2 Telesat reports its results in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). However, all of Telesat's results, unless otherwise noted are reflected in this press release in accordance with U.S. GAAP and in U.S. dollars.

Author has written 6 stories for Dragon Ball Z/Sailor Moon, Gundam Wing/Sailor Moon, and Sailor Moon X-overs.
Updated March 20th, 2010: Clincal Study Explanation
So, yes! I have something new, for the first time in... what, almost seven years? It's a drabble. I wanted to explain it briefly. Spoiler on the pairing, so if you want to read it first don't read this now! :P
So basically, I didn't know who the guy with Usa was going to be when I first conceived of it. The idea was symptoms, the narrator being very naive and thinking Usagi is sick, the narrator's virgin mind not being able to comprehend what is going on with the guy unless... oh, of course, he must be a doctor! First I was thinking of a wide range of characters, but then I thought, it might make a little more sense if the guy WAS a doctor. The two I thought of off the top of my head were Hatori from Fruits Basket, and Kabuto from Naruto. However, I couldn't stick Hatori into a situation like that... without developing a relationship and getting him out of his shell, it would have been OOC. So, Kabuto then... and thus, medical nin. Now, I thought, how does one distinguish a medical nin? Do they have a badge or something? I didn't think so, at least not that I could remember. So, the hint that he was a doctor could be... bandages!
But, uh, wouldn't all ninjas with a lick of sense carried bandages? And, also... now that my mind was in the Naruto-verse, I kinda wanted it to be Kakashi. He's a ninja, thus would have bandages. Is it too much of a stretch that the narrator is this dense? Okay, she was wounded, and he was there to bandage her up.
...and then shamelessly seduce her.
But I think saying it was a medical nin threw people off. I hoped the bit about the mask would be enough of a clue. If I had gone with "well... he must be a doctor!" and some other person, people may have made the connection that it was just the narrator being an idiot, but medical nin was too specific. So. Yus. I afterwards added the bit about his eyes. Damn you for having the same hair color, Kabuto!
So... yus. >_>
I have a sequel in my head... with lots of other stuff. So who knows if it will ever get out :P
Updated May 5th, 2007... four years and one month after the last update.
Well hello there! Er... what to say. Hm. The stories are dead. Sorry. I have continued to write for the past few years, and my writing, I am happy to say, has gotten MUCH better. However, I haven't posted anything because of my inability to finish anything >_> so basically I have about 30 half-done stories on my computer. Yeah...
Anyway, I continue to read, and hopefully I can use my experience to aid writers with more time and determination than myself. And maybe I'll make a more interesting profile this summer. Who knows.

Not to say that I don't come out of my shell eventually...
Or online.
But in real life I just sit there and express myself through facial expressions while suppressing every thought that pops into my head.
I have yet to do anything with my life because I'm crap at making decisions.
BUT I'm trying to work on changing that.
I am a full figured woman.
If you have a problem with a woman that has quite a bit of meat on her bones please look else where.
I'm mostly proud of my body, but like I said, I can be shy.
And I wont deny that some of that branches from my weight.
I'm a very open minded person and tend to accept everyone for who they are-unless your a bigot, sorry.
And I wont defend myself to the grave if you have an opposing view because I don't do confrontation well-if at all.

Baseline to Baseline recaps: Kobe drops another 40
Jan 12, 2012, 7:58 AM EDT
What you missed while you tried to shame your kid into behaving…. Clippers 95, Heat 89: The game where the rims were afraid was our game of the night. Lakers 90, Jazz 87 (OT): The Lakers might not have gotten to the overtime without Kobe Bryant dropping 40 points — but when Kobe went cold…
LeBron finally aggressive late, but Clippers hand Heat another loss
Jan 12, 2012, 3:19 AM EDT
Last year's "it" team faced off against this year's "it" squad and fans from both sides got what they wanted. Sort of. They both got a wildly entertaining contest that had the intensity of May. But it came wrapped in a game where it looked like both teams were on the second night of a…
Bulls' Derrick Rose sits due to sprained toe
Jan 11, 2012, 9:47 PM EDT
If you wondered just what happens to the Chicago Bulls offense when Derrick Rose isn't there to create everything, watch Wednesday night's game. Rose did not suit up against the Wizards and John Wall due to a sprained big toe. "It's a pain tolerance thing. It's a sprain. He's gotten a lot of treatment. He…
Video: Utah Jazz mascot drops cake from upper deck
Jan 11, 2012, 7:07 PM EDT
I am not convinced this is organic, it may well have been staged. Even so, it's funny. Tuesday night Jazz are celebrating the birthday of a season ticket holder and the team's furry bear-like mascot — named "The Jazz," how long did it take them to come up with that? — comes out with a…
Video: Brandan Wright can jump very, very high
Jan 11, 2012, 5:14 PM EDT
In case you missed it, one more highlight from Tuesday night to whet your appetite for a full slate of games on Wednesday (highlighted by the Heat at the Clippers in a game where we feel sorry for the rims). Brandan Wright of the now 5-5 Mavericks can jump out of the building, which works…
Doc Rivers wants Celtics to throw first punch. Figuratively.
Jan 11, 2012, 4:26 PM EDT
The Boston Celtics won banner 17 in part because of their size — there are a big, physical team. Doc Rivers wants his Celtics to start showing it again, he told the Boston Herald. "We're just not there yet as a team," Rivers said after yesterday's practice. "I think we've got a tough group of…
Curry gets a second opinion on ankle, nothing changes
Jan 11, 2012, 3:17 PM EDT
So, it's a sprain. Stephen Curry has rolled his ankle three times this young season and is out a while to rest it. But since he had surgery on this same ankle, he decided to go back and have the surgeon — Dr. Bob Anderson — take a look at it. Basically he saw what…
Kobe Bryant wants you to keep on doubting him
Jan 11, 2012, 2:14 PM EDT
Six years ago, if Kobe Bryant dropped 48 points in a game, we called it Tuesday. It seemed like nothing out of the ordinary. There were a couple highlights on SportsCenter, his fantasy owners patted themselves on the back, and then we pretty much moved on because we saw this all the time. But in…
Flip Saunders thinks John Wall played too many summer games
Jan 11, 2012, 1:42 PM EDT
The counterbalance to the suits and greed of the NBA lockout this past summer was the rise of the rec league games. The Goodman League. The Drew League. Rucker Park. More than ever NBA players were rolling into these leagues and playing, and soon the leagues were playing each other like the epic Goodman vs.…
Larry Brown wants "badly" to coach again, not sure it happens
Jan 11, 2012, 12:15 PM EDT
Aggrey Sam sums it up well in one line of his interview with Larry Brown — the legendary coach "likely forgotten more basketball than anybody reading this has ever seen." He's won an NBA title with the Pistons, an NCAA title with Kansas, took UCLA to the final four and even took the pre-Griffin Clippers…
Wednesday And-1 links: Anderson Varejao is no Magic Johnson

The man who cut Michael Jordan in high school… sort of
Jan 11, 2012, 10:26 AM EDT
It is one of the legends of Michael Jordan — that as a high-school sophomore he was cut from his high school team. Jordan, ever the master at using slights real and perceived as fuel to drive him, took this insult as one of the things that pushed him through high school to North Carolina…
Gerald Wallace will not sign an extension with Trail Blazers
Jan 11, 2012, 8:59 AM EDT
Portland fans, this is not personal. It's business. Gerald Wallace — a key part of the Blazers resurgence — will not sign an extension with the Trail Blazers, representatives for the free agent to be told the team, reports Jason Quick at the Oregonian. It's not that the veteran isn't happy or doesn't want to…
Video: Watch Kobe Bryant drop 48 on Phoenix
Jan 11, 2012, 8:25 AM EDT
Kobe Bryant is an aging jump shooter with bad knees and a sore wrist and… well, it sure didn't look anything like that on Tuesday. Kobe got to his spots on the floor against the Suns (Grant Hill can't handle him), was feeling it and dropped 48 on Phoenix to power a Lakers win. Half…
Baseline to Baseline recaps: Nate Robinson beats the Heat
Jan 11, 2012, 7:40 AM EDT
What you missed while being addicted to cracking your knuckles… Wizards 93, Raptors 78: The Wizards win! Theeee Wizards win! Warriors 111, Heat 106: This was another Miami route, they were up 17 late in the third quarter, but then Nate Robinson happened. And then Dorell Wright happened. And suddenly Mark Jackson and the rebuilding…
Break out the champagne — the Wizards win!
Jan 11, 2012, 12:49 AM EDT
It all came together for one night. At home, against a tired Toronto team on the second night of a back-to-back. Flip Saunders put in a new starting lineup of guys playing with some grit — Chris Singleton and Trevor Booker start, and Andray Blatche comes off the bench. It worked — the Washington Wizards…
Dwyane Wade returned to Heat lineup Tuesday
Jan 10, 2012, 10:50 PM EDT
In the balancing act of how patient the Miami Heat want to be with Dwyane Wade versus the need to have him on the court, the scales have tipped in the other direction. Wade was back in the starting lineup for the Heat against the Golden State Warriors Tuesday night, reports our own Ira Winderman…
Video: Still not buying Kevin Love as league's best four
Jan 10, 2012, 9:17 PM EDT
I like Kevin Love's attitude — he thinks he is the best four in the NBA and you want a star player to think that. Although, do you want him to say it? CSN New England's Donny Marshall says no — and neither he nor I think Love is the best four in the league,…
Jimmer Fredette gets first start Tuesday in Philadelphia
Jan 10, 2012, 7:45 PM EDT
Jimmer fever has finally reached the starting lineup. Jimmer Fredette got his first start with the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday, due to Marcus Thornton suffering a bruised thigh. He had been averaging 24 minutes a game off the bench but played almost the entire first quarter of this one. Fredette has shown potential but is…
Mark Cuban will be on your television during Super Bowl
Jan 10, 2012, 6:55 PM EDT
Are there going to be any NBA players on your television during the Super Bowl? Well, LeBron James will not be on the sidelines (the Heat play at home that day). Maybe he or Kobe Bryant show up in an ad, maybe not. But there will be one NBA owner — Mark Cuban. Selling Skechers.…
Report: Team USA sets 19 players for preliminary Olympic roster
Jan 10, 2012, 5:39 PM EDT
The USA will send 12 men to London this summer to suit up and defend America's gold medal from the last Olympic games. And that dozen will come from these 19 guys, according Chris Sheridan at SheridanHoops.com who broke the story of the preliminary roster. We've broken them out by position (they are alphabetical in their…
Don't tell anyone, but Andrea Bargnani is playing well
Jan 10, 2012, 4:47 PM EDT
It's seems weird to write this but… Andrea Bargnani is playing really well this year. Raptors blogs are noticing. Everyone watching them is noticing. He's shooting better (52.7 percent overall and 37 percent from three), scoring more (22.8 per game) while taking fewer shots, rebounding more, turning the ball over less and has an All-Star…
Miami is not better without Dwyane Wade. Stop it.
Jan 10, 2012, 3:00 PM EDT
Dwyane Wade has sat out three games with a sore foot. The Miami Heat have won those three games. LeBron James has looked like the LeBron of the Cleveland era the past couple of games because he has to take on much more of the offense. So of course, some people looking to stir the…
Kobe not having experimental procedure on wrist after all
Jan 10, 2012, 2:37 PM EDT
Kobe Bryant can't go to Germany right now, and Germany is not coming to Los Angeles. Kobe wanted to but is not going to have the experimental procedure done on his wrist that he had done on his knee this summer, according to the Los Angeles Times. Of greatest importance, the German doctor whom Bryant…

I don't know what it is about this color but it just does not work on me. I thought it would be a soft, natural, medium pink but it ends up looking bubblegum pinkish on my lips which is not flattering. Very unnatural almost Barbie color. It also accentuates the lines in my lips and feels thick on for some reason unlike some of the other butters. I don't see even a hint of the purple others were talking about but it just does not work on my lips. It does seem to be much cooler when actually applied to lips than it looks like in the tube. Going to reserve this one for mixing in the hopes that I can make a wearable color using it.

I picked this up in Walmart last week due to its high popularity. I went with this shade cause it looked like a everyday pink color, but I was wrong.definitely won't buy products with no testers again. The color leans too childish, looks like a bubblegum pink,slightly neonish. And the texture is so soft that I can't use it directly on my lips, that would cause the lipstick to melt and break into pieces. And it's not even that" buttery", it drys me out in 90 minutes.
Gotta be careful with drugstore products now.

I bought this product as an easy wear colour, thinking the moisturising qualities would make this perfect for all day work wear. Although I absolutely love the colour and it is hydrating when its first applied, when topping up it tends to dry out on my lips too quickly. I found I could only really wear it for a long time if I applied lip balm first which really defeats the point of a lip butter. I have continued to wear it for shorter periods of time for which it stays well. I have heard great things about this range though so I will try different shades and would probably re-purchase this when its finished as the colour easily matches my wardrobe.

Nice colour, not amazing pay-off but still decent-ish. You need to have very moisturised lips. Not crazily flattering to my skin tone, personally speaking (NW20), but I like the formula and look forward to trying some other shades.

I'm that kind of person that LOVES wearing bright colours on my lips. And this is the first lip butter I have ever bought. It's really great for my lips, beacuse it hydrates, and it has great colour payoff! One thing I really didn't like about it was that it had little product. But I really love that it has a clear top on the lid, so you can actually see what it looks like in the tube. This came out on my lips as a pale blue based Barbie pink colour, which a lot of people complimented me for. This colour looks absolutely gorgeous on people with paler skin tones, because my friend also wears this, and it's so pretty on her.

So I've read the reviews, and thought i'd throw my two cents in to help someone else out. Ive seen this called a barbie pink, its most def not barbie pink...unless I was playing with the wrong barbies. Id describe this more like a creamy medium cool toned light pink if that makes any sense? There are 2 flaws I find in this product 1. the base of the lip butter should be longer so that its easier to open. 2. The lasting power isn't there. After 2-3 hours of wear its gone...even without eating or drinking. Honestly even that long is kind of stretching it. When I wear this I'm usually reapplying every 45min. With that being said the feel and the look of this lipstick is amazing. I am a very warm toned girl and when I wear makeup...I don't want to look natural, I want MAKEUP. So typically a cool and warm tone clash but on the face it just emphasizes that feature and this does so in subtle way. Gives a polished look with a little bit of a twist on a warm girl.

Strawberry Shortcake is a light pink color. It is very moisturizing. The staying power is about 1-2 hours. This color did not look the best on me because my natural lip color is very dark. This color would be perfect for someone with naturally lighter lips. I like the product, but not the color.

This was not the color for me! T.T It makes my lips look PURPLE!! I was hoping this to be a happy light pink not dying purple. . :\ Also its so pricey.. $10 just for one at Walmart. . The ONLY two good thing about this one is that it moisturises decently and it comes in a form in a lipstick instead of a pot. But otherwise eww purple lips! :(

I already fell in love with Relvon's Lip Butters before but in Tutti fruiti and Creamsicle. But I wanted to look for a pinky pink.
I was really excited by the shade I saw inside the tube but when I put it on, it was really sheer not as bright as the colour I see. Perhaps they wanted to make it sheerer because it's such a bold colour? I was disappointed, it was light and almost nude?! Strange. I really love the tutti fruity it's very pigmented, perhaps I will try candy apple next :D

I find this shade very hard to work on my skin tone because I have yellow undertones and I have to dab it on a teeny weeny bit so that it looks okay on me.
I'll repurchase this product, but another shade perhaps
