Django attempts to support as many features as possible on all database
backends. However, not all database backends are alike, and we've had to make
design decisions on which features to support and which assumptions we can make
This file describes some of the features that might be relevant to Django
usage. Of course, it is not intended as a replacement for server-specific
documentation or reference manuals.
.. _postgresql-notes:
PostgreSQL notes
.. versionchanged:: 1.4
Django supports PostgreSQL 8.2 and higher.
PostgreSQL 8.2 to 8.2.4
The implementation of the population statistics aggregates ``STDDEV_POP`` and
``VAR_POP`` that shipped with PostgreSQL 8.2 to 8.2.4 are `known to be
faulty`_. Users of these releases of PostgreSQL are advised to upgrade to
`Release 8.2.5`_ or later. Django will raise a ``NotImplementedError`` if you
attempt to use the ``StdDev(sample=False)`` or ``Variance(sample=False)``
aggregate with a database backend that falls within the affected release range.
.. _known to be faulty: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2007-07/msg00046.php
.. _Release 8.2.5: http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/release-8-2-5.html
Optimizing PostgreSQL's configuration
Django needs the following parameters for its database connections:
- ``client_encoding``: ``'UTF8'``,
- ``default_transaction_isolation``: ``'read committed'``,
- ``timezone``: ``'UTC'`` when :setting:`USE_TZ` is ``True``, value of
:setting:`TIME_ZONE` otherwise.
If these parameters already have the correct values, Django won't set them for
every new connection, which improves performance slightly. You can configure
them directly in :file:`postgresql.conf` or more conveniently per database
user with `ALTER ROLE`_.
Django will work just fine without this optimization, but each new connection
will do some additional queries to set these parameters.
.. _ALTER ROLE: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/sql-alterrole.html
Transaction handling
:doc:`By default </topics/db/transactions>`, Django starts a transaction when a
database connection is first used and commits the result at the end of the
request/response handling. The PostgreSQL backends normally operate the same
as any other Django backend in this respect.
.. _postgresql-autocommit-mode:
Autocommit mode
If your application is particularly read-heavy and doesn't make many
database writes, the overhead of a constantly open transaction can
sometimes be noticeable. For those situations, you can configure Django
to use *"autocommit"* behavior for the connection, meaning that each database
operation will normally be in its own transaction, rather than having
the transaction extend over multiple operations. In this case, you can
still manually start a transaction if you're doing something that
requires consistency across multiple database operations. The
autocommit behavior is enabled by setting the ``autocommit`` key in
the :setting:`OPTIONS` part of your database configuration in
'autocommit': True,
In this configuration, Django still ensures that :ref:`delete()
<topics-db-queries-delete>` and :ref:`update() <topics-db-queries-update>`
queries run inside a single transaction, so that either all the affected
objects are changed or none of them are.
.. admonition:: This is database-level autocommit
This functionality is not the same as the :ref:`autocommit
<topics-db-transactions-autocommit>` decorator. That decorator is
a Django-level implementation that commits automatically after
data changing operations. The feature enabled using the
:setting:`OPTIONS` option provides autocommit behavior at the
database adapter level. It commits after *every* operation.
If you are using this feature and performing an operation akin to delete or
updating that requires multiple operations, you are strongly recommended to
wrap you operations in manual transaction handling to ensure data consistency.
You should also audit your existing code for any instances of this behavior
before enabling this feature. It's faster, but it provides less automatic
protection for multi-call operations.
Indexes for ``varchar`` and ``text`` columns
When specifying ``db_index=True`` on your model fields, Django typically
outputs a single ``CREATE INDEX`` statement. However, if the database type
for the field is either ``varchar`` or ``text`` (e.g., used by ``CharField``,
``FileField``, and ``TextField``), then Django will create
an additional index that uses an appropriate `PostgreSQL operator class`_
for the column. The extra index is necessary to correctly perfrom
lookups that use the ``LIKE`` operator in their SQL, as is done with the
``contains`` and ``startswith`` lookup types.
.. _PostgreSQL operator class: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/indexes-opclass.html
.. _mysql-notes:
MySQL notes
Version support
Django supports MySQL 5.0.3 and higher.
`MySQL 5.0`_ adds the ``information_schema`` database, which contains detailed
data on all database schema. Django's ``inspectdb`` feature uses it.
.. versionchanged:: 1.5
The minimum version requirement of MySQL 5.0.3 was set in Django 1.5.
Django expects the database to support Unicode (UTF-8 encoding) and delegates to
it the task of enforcing transactions and referential integrity. It is important
to be aware of the fact that the two latter ones aren't actually enforced by
MySQL when using the MyISAM storage engine, see the next section.
.. _MySQL: http://www.mysql.com/
.. _MySQL 5.0: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/index.html
.. _mysql-storage-engines:
Storage engines
MySQL has several `storage engines`_ (previously called table types). You can
change the default storage engine in the server configuration.
Until MySQL 5.5.4, the default engine was MyISAM_ [#]_. The main drawbacks of
MyISAM are that it doesn't support transactions or enforce foreign-key
constraints. On the plus side, it's currently the only engine that supports
full-text indexing and searching.
Since MySQL 5.5.5, the default storage engine is InnoDB_. This engine is fully
transactional and supports foreign key references. It's probably the best
choice at this point.
.. versionchanged:: 1.4
In previous versions of Django, fixtures with forward references (i.e.
relations to rows that have not yet been inserted into the database) would fail
to load when using the InnoDB storage engine. This was due to the fact that InnoDB
deviates from the SQL standard by checking foreign key constraints immediately
instead of deferring the check until the transaction is committed. This
problem has been resolved in Django 1.4. Fixture data is now loaded with foreign key
checks turned off; foreign key checks are then re-enabled when the data has
finished loading, at which point the entire table is checked for invalid foreign
key references and an `IntegrityError` is raised if any are found.
.. _storage engines: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/storage-engines.html
.. _MyISAM: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/myisam-storage-engine.html
.. _InnoDB: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/innodb.html
.. [#] Unless this was changed by the packager of your MySQL package. We've
had reports that the Windows Community Server installer sets up InnoDB as
the default storage engine, for example.
`MySQLdb`_ is the Python interface to MySQL. Version 1.2.1p2 or later is
required for full MySQL support in Django.
.. note::
If you see ``ImportError: cannot import name ImmutableSet`` when trying to
use Django, your MySQLdb installation may contain an outdated ``sets.py``
file that conflicts with the built-in module of the same name from Python
2.4 and later. To fix this, verify that you have installed MySQLdb version
1.2.1p2 or newer, then delete the ``sets.py`` file in the MySQLdb
directory that was left by an earlier version.
.. _MySQLdb: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python
Creating your database
You can `create your database`_ using the command-line tools and this SQL::
CREATE DATABASE <dbname> CHARACTER SET utf8;
This ensures all tables and columns will use UTF-8 by default.
.. _create your database: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/create-database.html
.. _mysql-collation:
Collation settings
The collation setting for a column controls the order in which data is sorted
as well as what strings compare as equal. It can be set on a database-wide
level and also per-table and per-column. This is `documented thoroughly`_ in
the MySQL documentation. In all cases, you set the collation by directly
manipulating the database tables; Django doesn't provide a way to set this on
the model definition.
.. _documented thoroughly: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/charset.html
By default, with a UTF-8 database, MySQL will use the
``utf8_general_ci_swedish`` collation. This results in all string equality
comparisons being done in a *case-insensitive* manner. That is, ``"Fred"`` and
``"freD"`` are considered equal at the database level. If you have a unique
constraint on a field, it would be illegal to try to insert both ``"aa"`` and
``"AA"`` into the same column, since they compare as equal (and, hence,
non-unique) with the default collation.
In many cases, this default will not be a problem. However, if you really want
case-sensitive comparisons on a particular column or table, you would change
the column or table to use the ``utf8_bin`` collation. The main thing to be
aware of in this case is that if you are using MySQLdb 1.2.2, the database
backend in Django will then return bytestrings (instead of unicode strings) for
any character fields it receive from the database. This is a strong variation
from Django's normal practice of *always* returning unicode strings. It is up
to you, the developer, to handle the fact that you will receive bytestrings if
you configure your table(s) to use ``utf8_bin`` collation. Django itself should
mostly work smoothly with such columns (except for the ``contrib.sessions``
``Session`` and ``contrib.admin`` ``LogEntry`` tables described below), but
your code must be prepared to call ``django.utils.encoding.smart_unicode()`` at
times if it really wants to work with consistent data -- Django will not do
this for you (the database backend layer and the model population layer are
separated internally so the database layer doesn't know it needs to make this
conversion in this one particular case).
If you're using MySQLdb 1.2.1p2, Django's standard
:class:`~django.db.models.CharField` class will return unicode strings even
with ``utf8_bin`` collation. However, :class:`~django.db.models.TextField`
fields will be returned as an ``array.array`` instance (from Python's standard
``array`` module). There isn't a lot Django can do about that, since, again,
the information needed to make the necessary conversions isn't available when
the data is read in from the database. This problem was `fixed in MySQLdb
1.2.2`_, so if you want to use :class:`~django.db.models.TextField` with
``utf8_bin`` collation, upgrading to version 1.2.2 and then dealing with the
bytestrings (which shouldn't be too difficult) as described above is the
recommended solution.
Should you decide to use ``utf8_bin`` collation for some of your tables with
MySQLdb 1.2.1p2 or 1.2.2, you should still use ``utf8_collation_ci_swedish``
(the default) collation for the :class:`django.contrib.sessions.models.Session`
table (usually called ``django_session``) and the
:class:`django.contrib.admin.models.LogEntry` table (usually called
``django_admin_log``). Those are the two standard tables that use
:class:`~django.db.models.TextField` internally.
.. _fixed in MySQLdb 1.2.2: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1495765&group_id=22307&atid=374932
Connecting to the database
Refer to the :doc:`settings documentation </ref/settings>`.
Connection settings are used in this order:
1. :setting:`OPTIONS`.
2. :setting:`NAME`, :setting:`USER`, :setting:`PASSWORD`,
:setting:`HOST`, :setting:`PORT`
3. MySQL option files.
In other words, if you set the name of the database in :setting:`OPTIONS`,
this will take precedence over :setting:`NAME`, which would override
anything in a `MySQL option file`_.
Here's a sample configuration which uses a MySQL option file::
# settings.py
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'read_default_file': '/path/to/my.cnf',
# my.cnf
database = NAME
user = USER
password = PASSWORD
default-character-set = utf8
Several other MySQLdb connection options may be useful, such as ``ssl``,
``use_unicode``, ``init_command``, and ``sql_mode``. Consult the
`MySQLdb documentation`_ for more details.
.. _MySQL option file: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/option-files.html
.. _MySQLdb documentation: http://mysql-python.sourceforge.net/
Creating your tables
When Django generates the schema, it doesn't specify a storage engine, so
tables will be created with whatever default storage engine your database
server is configured for. The easiest solution is to set your database server's
default storage engine to the desired engine.
If you're using a hosting service and can't change your server's default
storage engine, you have a couple of options.
* After the tables are created, execute an ``ALTER TABLE`` statement to
convert a table to a new storage engine (such as InnoDB)::
ALTER TABLE <tablename> ENGINE=INNODB;
This can be tedious if you have a lot of tables.
* Another option is to use the ``init_command`` option for MySQLdb prior to
creating your tables::
'init_command': 'SET storage_engine=INNODB',
This sets the default storage engine upon connecting to the database.
After your tables have been created, you should remove this option.
* Another method for changing the storage engine is described in
.. _AlterModelOnSyncDB: https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/AlterModelOnSyncDB
Table names
There are `known issues`_ in even the latest versions of MySQL that can cause the
case of a table name to be altered when certain SQL statements are executed
under certain conditions. It is recommended that you use lowercase table
names, if possible, to avoid any problems that might arise from this behavior.
Django uses lowercase table names when it auto-generates table names from
models, so this is mainly a consideration if you are overriding the table name
via the :class:`~django.db.models.Options.db_table` parameter.
.. _known issues: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=48875
Both the Django ORM and MySQL (when using the InnoDB :ref:`storage engine
<mysql-storage-engines>`) support database :ref:`savepoints
<topics-db-transactions-savepoints>`, but this feature wasn't available in
Django until version 1.4 when such supports was added.
If you use the MyISAM storage engine please be aware of the fact that you will
receive database-generated errors if you try to use the :ref:`savepoint-related
methods of the transactions API <topics-db-transactions-savepoints>`. The reason
for this is that detecting the storage engine of a MySQL database/table is an
expensive operation so it was decided it isn't worth to dynamically convert
these methods in no-op's based in the results of such detection.
Notes on specific fields
Boolean fields
.. versionchanged:: 1.2
In previous versions of Django when running under MySQL ``BooleanFields`` would
return their data as ``ints``, instead of true ``bools``. See the release
notes for a complete description of the change.
Character fields
Any fields that are stored with ``VARCHAR`` column types have their
``max_length`` restricted to 255 characters if you are using ``unique=True``
for the field. This affects :class:`~django.db.models.CharField`,
:class:`~django.db.models.SlugField` and
DateTime fields
MySQL does not have a timezone-aware column type. If an attempt is made to
store a timezone-aware ``time`` or ``datetime`` to a
:class:`~django.db.models.TimeField` or :class:`~django.db.models.DateTimeField`
respectively, a ``ValueError`` is raised rather than truncating data.
MySQL does not store fractions of seconds. Fractions of seconds are truncated
to zero when the time is stored.
Row locking with ``QuerySet.select_for_update()``
MySQL does not support the ``NOWAIT`` option to the ``SELECT ... FOR UPDATE``
statement. If ``select_for_update()`` is used with ``nowait=True`` then a
``DatabaseError`` will be raised.
.. _sqlite-notes:
SQLite notes
SQLite_ provides an excellent development alternative for applications that
are predominantly read-only or require a smaller installation footprint. As
with all database servers, though, there are some differences that are
specific to SQLite that you should be aware of.
.. _SQLite: http://www.sqlite.org/
.. _sqlite-string-matching:
Substring matching and case sensitivity
For all SQLite versions, there is some slightly counter-intuitive behavior when
attempting to match some types of strings. These are triggered when using the
:lookup:`iexact` or :lookup:`contains` filters in Querysets. The behavior
splits into two cases:
1. For substring matching, all matches are done case-insensitively. That is a
filter such as ``filter(name__contains="aa")`` will match a name of ``"Aabb"``.
2. For strings containing characters outside the ASCII range, all exact string
matches are performed case-sensitively, even when the case-insensitive options
are passed into the query. So the :lookup:`iexact` filter will behave exactly
the same as the :lookup:`exact` filter in these cases.
Some possible workarounds for this are `documented at sqlite.org`_, but they
aren't utilised by the default SQLite backend in Django, as incorporating them
would be fairly difficult to do robustly. Thus, Django exposes the default
SQLite behavior and you should be aware of this when doing case-insensitive or
substring filtering.
.. _documented at sqlite.org: http://www.sqlite.org/faq.html#q18
SQLite 3.3.6 or newer strongly recommended
Versions of SQLite 3.3.5 and older contains the following bugs:
* A bug when `handling`_ ``ORDER BY`` parameters. This can cause problems when
you use the ``select`` parameter for the ``extra()`` QuerySet method. The bug
can be identified by the error message ``OperationalError: ORDER BY terms
must not be non-integer constants``.
* A bug when handling `aggregation`_ together with DateFields and
.. _handling: http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/tktview?tn=1768
.. _aggregation: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/10031
SQLite 3.3.6 was released in April 2006, so most current binary distributions
for different platforms include newer version of SQLite usable from Python
through either the ``pysqlite2`` or the ``sqlite3`` modules.
Version 3.5.9
The Ubuntu "Intrepid Ibex" (8.10) SQLite 3.5.9-3 package contains a bug that
causes problems with the evaluation of query expressions. If you are using
Ubuntu "Intrepid Ibex", you will need to update the package to version
3.5.9-3ubuntu1 or newer (recommended) or find an alternate source for SQLite
packages, or install SQLite from source.
At one time, Debian Lenny shipped with the same malfunctioning SQLite 3.5.9-3
package. However the Debian project has subsequently issued updated versions
of the SQLite package that correct these bugs. If you find you are getting
unexpected results under Debian, ensure you have updated your SQLite package
to 3.5.9-5 or later.
The problem does not appear to exist with other versions of SQLite packaged
with other operating systems.
Version 3.6.2
SQLite version 3.6.2 (released August 30, 2008) introduced a bug into ``SELECT
DISTINCT`` handling that is triggered by, amongst other things, Django's
``DateQuerySet`` (returned by the ``dates()`` method on a queryset).
You should avoid using this version of SQLite with Django. Either upgrade to
3.6.3 (released September 22, 2008) or later, or downgrade to an earlier
version of SQLite.

Using newer versions of the SQLite DB-API 2.0 driver
For versions of Python 2.5 or newer that include ``sqlite3`` in the standard
library Django will now use a ``pysqlite2`` interface in preference to
``sqlite3`` if it finds one is available.
This provides the ability to upgrade both the DB-API 2.0 interface or SQLite 3
itself to versions newer than the ones included with your particular Python
binary distribution, if needed.
"Database is locked" errors
SQLite is meant to be a lightweight database, and thus can't support a high
level of concurrency. ``OperationalError: database is locked`` errors indicate
that your application is experiencing more concurrency than ``sqlite`` can
handle in default configuration. This error means that one thread or process has
an exclusive lock on the database connection and another thread timed out
waiting for the lock the be released.
Python's SQLite wrapper has
a default timeout value that determines how long the second thread is allowed to
wait on the lock before it times out and raises the ``OperationalError: database
is locked`` error.
If you're getting this error, you can solve it by:
* Switching to another database backend. At a certain point SQLite becomes
too "lite" for real-world applications, and these sorts of concurrency
errors indicate you've reached that point.
* Rewriting your code to reduce concurrency and ensure that database
transactions are short-lived.
* Increase the default timeout value by setting the ``timeout`` database
option option::
# ...
'timeout': 20,
# ...
This will simply make SQLite wait a bit longer before throwing "database
is locked" errors; it won't really do anything to solve them.
``QuerySet.select_for_update()`` not supported
SQLite does not support the ``SELECT ... FOR UPDATE`` syntax. Calling it will
have no effect.
.. _sqlite-connection-queries:
Parameters not quoted in ``connection.queries``
``sqlite3`` does not provide a way to retrieve the SQL after quoting and
substituting the parameters. Instead, the SQL in ``connection.queries`` is
rebuilt with a simple string interpolation. It may be incorrect. Make sure
you add quotes where necessary before copying a query into a SQLite shell.
.. _oracle-notes:
Oracle notes
Django supports `Oracle Database Server`_ versions 9i and
higher. Oracle version 10g or later is required to use Django's
``regex`` and ``iregex`` query operators. You will also need at least
version 4.3.1 of the `cx_Oracle`_ Python driver.
Note that due to a Unicode-corruption bug in ``cx_Oracle`` 5.0, that
version of the driver should **not** be used with Django;
``cx_Oracle`` 5.0.1 resolved this issue, so if you'd like to use a
more recent ``cx_Oracle``, use version 5.0.1.
``cx_Oracle`` 5.0.1 or greater can optionally be compiled with the
``WITH_UNICODE`` environment variable. This is recommended but not
.. _`Oracle Database Server`: http://www.oracle.com/
.. _`cx_Oracle`: http://cx-oracle.sourceforge.net/
In order for the ``python manage.py syncdb`` command to work, your Oracle
database user must have privileges to run the following commands:
To run Django's test suite, the user needs these *additional* privileges:
Connecting to the database
Your Django settings.py file should look something like this for Oracle::
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.oracle',
'NAME': 'xe',
'USER': 'a_user',
'PASSWORD': 'a_password',
If you don't use a ``tnsnames.ora`` file or a similar naming method that
recognizes the SID ("xe" in this example), then fill in both
:setting:`HOST` and :setting:`PORT` like so::
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.oracle',
'NAME': 'xe',
'USER': 'a_user',
'PASSWORD': 'a_password',
'HOST': 'dbprod01ned.mycompany.com',
You should supply both :setting:`HOST` and :setting:`PORT`, or leave both
as empty strings.
Threaded option
If you plan to run Django in a multithreaded environment (e.g. Apache in Windows
using the default MPM module), then you **must** set the ``threaded`` option of
your Oracle database configuration to True::
'threaded': True,
Failure to do this may result in crashes and other odd behavior.
By default, the Oracle backend uses a ``RETURNING INTO`` clause to efficiently
retrieve the value of an ``AutoField`` when inserting new rows. This behavior
may result in a ``DatabaseError`` in certain unusual setups, such as when
inserting into a remote table, or into a view with an ``INSTEAD OF`` trigger.
The ``RETURNING INTO`` clause can be disabled by setting the
``use_returning_into`` option of the database configuration to False::
'use_returning_into': False,
In this case, the Oracle backend will use a separate ``SELECT`` query to
retrieve AutoField values.
Naming issues
Oracle imposes a name length limit of 30 characters. To accommodate this, the
backend truncates database identifiers to fit, replacing the final four
characters of the truncated name with a repeatable MD5 hash value.
When running syncdb, an ``ORA-06552`` error may be encountered if
certain Oracle keywords are used as the name of a model field or the
value of a ``db_column`` option. Django quotes all identifiers used
in queries to prevent most such problems, but this error can still
occur when an Oracle datatype is used as a column name. In
particular, take care to avoid using the names ``date``,
``timestamp``, ``number`` or ``float`` as a field name.
NULL and empty strings
Django generally prefers to use the empty string ('') rather than
NULL, but Oracle treats both identically. To get around this, the
Oracle backend coerces the ``null=True`` option on fields that have
the empty string as a possible value. When fetching from the database,
it is assumed that a NULL value in one of these fields really means
the empty string, and the data is silently converted to reflect this
``TextField`` limitations
The Oracle backend stores ``TextFields`` as ``NCLOB`` columns. Oracle imposes
some limitations on the usage of such LOB columns in general:
* LOB columns may not be used as primary keys.
* LOB columns may not be used in indexes.
* LOB columns may not be used in a ``SELECT DISTINCT`` list. This means that
attempting to use the ``QuerySet.distinct`` method on a model that
includes ``TextField`` columns will result in an error when run against
Oracle. As a workaround, use the ``QuerySet.defer`` method in conjunction
with ``distinct()`` to prevent ``TextField`` columns from being included in
the ``SELECT DISTINCT`` list.
.. _third-party-notes:
Using a 3rd-party database backend
In addition to the officially supported databases, there are backends provided
by 3rd parties that allow you to use other databases with Django:
* `Sybase SQL Anywhere`_
* `Microsoft SQL Server 2005`_
* Firebird_
The Django versions and ORM features supported by these unofficial backends
vary considerably. Queries regarding the specific capabilities of these
unofficial backends, along with any support queries, should be directed to
the support channels provided by each 3rd party project.

Early Test for NFL's New Domestic Violence Policy
49ers DT Ray McDonald's weekend arrest came two days after Roger Goodell established a six-game ban for first-time offenses. What happens next? Plus, examining Alex Smith's extension, the lack of surprises on cutdown day and more
Much to address this morning, three days out from the NFL's 95th season. I was planning to address the Roger Goodell about-face on domestic violence later in the column, but the Ray McDonald arrest at 3 a.m. Sunday in San Jose, and the 49ers defensive tackle being charged with felony domestic violence, changed all that. So this bit of inside-MMQB for those waiting for my piece on Green Bay GM Ted Thompson: We're going to run it Wednesday here at The MMQB, when we can give it proper treatment the day before the season. Today's budget:
- An early test for the new Roger Goodell policy on domestic violence.
- Alex Smith gets what he deserves, a new four-year contract that doesn't overpay him.
- Theorizing why Michael Sam was still unemployed as of midnight.
- A body double made Champ Bailey outdated.
- A relatively boring cutdown weekend, if you ask me. (Even if you ask one veteran NFL personnel man. "Man, that waiver wire sucked this weekend,'' he said Sunday.)
- The Browns lead the league in something, anyway. (Defensive backs.)
- Seattle is shallow on the offensive line, and an interesting punt-returner call by Pete Carroll.
- Story of the weekend not named Michael Sam: Ben Garland. (Go ahead. Search him.)
- I talk to Logan Mankins. He doesn't sound bitter, but how can he not be?
- Why you want Bill Vinovich or Craig Wrolstad to be the ref at your team's game this weekend.
On with the show.
NFL KICKOFF: The MMQB writers preview the 2014 season in our predictions extravaganza
* * *
News item: Goodell toughens NFL's domestic violence policy.
Newsier item: Forty-Niner tests it immediately.
San Jose police responded to a complaint early Sunday morning involving San Francisco defensive tackle Ray McDonald and a woman that NBC Bay Area reported is pregnant. She had bruises on her neck and arms, the Sacramento Bee reported, and McDonald was jailed on suspicion of felony domestic violence charges. He was released later in the morning on $25,000 bond and ordered to appear in court Sept. 15.
"Felony domestic violence is a serious charge in any jurisdiction," said Kim Gandy, president and CEO of the National Network to End Domestic Violence, in a phone interview Sunday afternoon, hearing the news for the first time. "The fact that they are discussing this as a felony says to me the law-enforcement investigators believe it is serious. I expect the commissioner to respond definitively and assertively."
Gandy was one of six national authorities on domestic violence who helped Goodell shape his decisive new policy, first in a lengthy phone call in mid-August and then in a meeting at the league offices in Manhattan on Aug. 21. The MMQB has talked to three of the outside experts called on by Goodell, and all were encouraged by the tougher policy on domestic violence laid out by Goodell: a six-game ban for a first offense (though with some wiggle room for "mitigating factors"), and a year-to-lifetime ban for a repeat offender.
Then came the McDonald news, disappointing for the substance and stunning in its timeliness.
"We are looking into it," league spokesman Greg Aiello said Sunday. That was the only statement—but it seemed clear that the league may not wait for final court adjudication in the case. Goodell's letter to the owners Thursday addressing the new policy said the policy is "effective immediately" and the urgency of the issue could push the NFL to act sooner than the courts. The league's Personal Conduct Policy opens the possibility for discipline before the courts rule if Goodell feels there is an "immediate and substantial risk to the integrity and reputation of the NFL."
"The [domestic violence] policy is going to be tested quickly," said Gandy, a veteran of the fight to end domestic abuse. "I think it is probably a good thing for a policy to be tested quickly, to see if the policy works the way it was meant to work. I am very sorry to hear this news, but it is a reminder how frequent and common domestic violence in this country is, unfortunately. I believe the commissioner will say, 'This is our policy and we are going to stand behind it and implement it fairly.' My experience with him is that he will be fair and even-handed."
But the news about McDonald, a valuable starter on the San Francisco defensive front seven already coping with the nine-game suspension to its best pass-rusher, Aldon Smith, and knowing the team could be without rehabbing star linebacker NaVorro Bowman until midseason, could not come at a worse time. Being in trouble with the law is one thing. But coach Jim Harbaugh has been open with his players about seeing red over domestic violence. The Niners were mostly mum Sunday about the incident, but it will be interesting to see if the Niners act on McDonald once all the facts are in before the commissioner does.
If McDonald did indeed lay his hands on a woman in the tenor of these times, he has just made the biggest mistake of his career—and at just about the worst time possible. Goodell obviously views this issue as one the NFL has to take a lead role. On Thursday—with Russian troops pouring into Ukraine, with a presidential news conference that day discussing crises in Iraq and Syria, with ISIS creating an international scare, with a cease-fire in Gaza holding perilously, with Ferguson, Mo., still simmering—NBC led "The NBC Nightly News" with Goodell's re-write of the domestic violence policy.
What was so impactful to Goodell and to those in the league who worked on this issue was the staying power of the outrage after the commissioner suspended Ray Rice of the Ravens just two games for an incident in which his then-fiancée was knocked unconscious in an altercation with Rice in February. Five days after the Rice decision, CNN led its morning newscast with a panel ripping the league over the light sentence. Five days. In his letter to owners last week, Goodell recognized the outcry, and the league's role in society that he underestimated. Goodell wrote: "The public response reinforced my belief that the NFL is held to a higher standard, and properly so. Much of the criticism stemmed from a fundamental recognition that the NFL is a leader, that we do stand for important values, and that we can project those values in ways that have a positive impact beyond professional football. We embrace this role and the responsibility that comes with it."
In his early fact-finding, Goodell talked to experts inside and outside his office—mostly outside. "When we talked," said Gandy, "he said, basically, that he wanted to educate himself. He was genuine in wanting to understand the causes and wanting to know the best role for the league. At one point, we were talking about law enforcement, and he said to me, 'Why isn't everyone angry at the judge and the prosecutor in the Rice case? We actually did something, rather than nothing.' I said, 'These are your fans who are angry. They are not fans of the judge and the prosecutor.'"
The three advocates interviewed by The MMQB were pleased with what the NFL did last week, but clear they will be watching to see how the league implements its discipline and outreach programs. "If they address domestic violence at the level they are capable of, it can be game changing," said Rita Smith of the group Violence Against Woman. She was in the meeting with the league Aug. 21. "I feel pretty strongly, as of right now, that Commissioner Goodell and the NFL are committed to this. I believed they listened to us and took our advice with weight. It took a while, and a lot of outward pressure, but we are here. They need to follow through. So I hope I feel as good about it in six months, or a year. If I don't, I have no problem applying a little more pressure. That's what it took to get them here."
Said Esta Soler, president of Futures Without Violence: "At the end of the day, the letter the commissioner released is a very strong letter. But the work now begins. That was just a letter. That was day one. Now the commitment of resources and time is how we will evaluate how committed the NFL is to this issue. We certainly applaud the NFL for the letter, and for increasing the penalty and laying out a program. Now they have to do the program. And they need to see it through. The letter is a strong letter. And it goes beyond just the penalty, which is a good thing. Because that's how you change culture and that's how you change behavior. We get that. But now a serious commitment to time and resources has to accompany that outline."
One more point. One of the late additions to the letter Goodell sent to owners was trying to leave the league some flexibility on a hard-and-fast six-game ban for first offenses. Aggravating factors—assaulting a pregnant woman, for instance—could make the sanction harsher. But there also is no guarantee that the ban could be as long as six games. Read the letter:
"Effective immediately, violations of the Personal Conduct Policy regarding assault, battery, domestic violence or sexual assault that involve physical force will be subject to a suspension without pay of six games for a first offense, with consideration given to mitigating factors, as well as a longer suspension when circumstances warrant. Among the circumstances that would merit a more severe penalty would be a prior incident before joining the NFL, or violence involving a weapon, choking, repeated striking, or when the act is committed against a pregnant woman or in the presence of a child."
So I think any confirmed assault will merit more than two games, but there's no guarantee every one will be at least six. "We were clear in our meeting with the commissioner: One size doesn't fit all, and one size rarely fits all," said Gandy. "We recognize there are greatly different levels of violence."
We'll see how steadfast the league is on the issue, both in discipline and education, but last Thursday was a start. The McDonald case tests it immediately. "Movements are made of moments," said Soler, "and this is a moment." It won't take long to find out if the movement is working.
From the San Francisco newspaper, posted this morning.
San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Ray McDonald will not face domestic violence charges in connection with a dispute at his San Jose home in which his pregnant fiancée was reportedly injured, Santa Clara County prosecutors said Monday.
San Jose police had arrested and jailed McDonald on suspicion of felony domestic violence after responding to his home on Bentley Ridge Drive early Aug. 31, after a 30th birthday party that McDonald had thrown for himself. Investigators said his fiancée had "visible injuries."
But after a lengthy review, the office of District Attorney Jeff Rosen declined to file charges, citing insufficient evidence.
"Conflicting versions of the incident, a lack of verifiable eyewitnesses, and a significant lack of cooperation by Jane Doe (McDonald's fiancée) left investigators uncertain exactly what happened," Rosen's office said in a news release.
"All domestic violence complaints deserve our concern, sensitivity and careful review," Rosen said. "After our thorough review of all the facts, we do not have evidence sufficient to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. McDonald committed a crime against Jane Doe."
The case garnered national attention in the wake of arrests of other NFL players for alleged domestic violence.
McDonald has suggested he was wrongly arrested. "I can't say too much, not right now, but the truth will come out," he told reporters after being released on $25,000 bail following his arrest. "Everybody knows the kind of person that I am. I'm a goodhearted person."
According to the district attorney's office,
The McDonald case was complicated by the fact that when San Jose police officers responded to the defensive tackle's home just before 3 a.m., a fellow officer who works private security for the 49ers in his off hours was already there. The officer, Sgt. Sean Pritchard, who worked security at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, has not commented.
The incident raised questions about whether officers who moonlight as security guards have conflicts of interest. The San Jose police internal affairs bureau is investigating why Pritchard was at McDonald's home, and Police Chief Larry Esquivel has suspended more than a dozen officers from providing security for the Niners.
In the wake of McDonald's arrest, San Jose police also revealed that they had responded to an earlier incident at the player's home.
On May 25, officials said, officers went to the residence to deal with an altercation in which an engaged couple argued and the woman grabbed the man's gun and held it at her side. When the man said he he was going to call 911, the woman reportedly put the gun away and fled. No one was arrested, and a brief report released by police did not identify the man and woman involved.
McDonald was not suspended by the 49ers after his August arrest and has played all season. The team and the NFL have said they would allow the criminal investigation to play out.
The NFL has been under intense public scrutiny in recent months over how it deals with players accused of domestic violence. Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice was cut by his team and suspended indefinitely by the league after video footage surfaced of him punching his then-fiancée in an Atlantic City hotel elevator, knocking her unconscious.
Before the video became public, Rice was suspended two games, which caused a backlash and prompted NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to institute harsher penalties for players involved in assault, battery, domestic-violence or sexual-assault incidents.
The Santa Clara County district attorney's office has been under a spotlight for its decisions on criminal charges involving 49ers players who live in the area. The office has charged players in some cases and cleared them in others.
In August 2013, linebacker Ahmad Brooks was arrested after allegedly hitting then-teammate Lamar Divens three times in the head with a beer bottle and punching him in the face in Brooks' driveway in San Jose. The district attorney's office decided not to file charges, concluding that the two players had a history of conflict and and that Brooks might have been acting in self-defense.
In October 2013, prosecutors charged linebacker Aldon Smith with illegally possessing three assault weapons that he had allegedly bought over the counter in Arizona, while the team was on a road trip. The weapons were found at Smith's home in the foothills east of San Jose after a June 2012 party during which he fired a handgun into the air and was stabbed, and two other people were shot, authorities said.
A judge sentenced Smith to probation on the gun charges as well as an unrelated charge of drunken driving filed against Smith after he crashed his car. Prosecutors said they thought the sentence was fair.
The NFL suspended Smith for nine games because of the Santa Clara County case and other incidents. He will be eligible to play his first game for the team this season Nov. 16.
In April, prosecutors charged cornerback Chris Culliver with misdemeanor hit and run and felony possession of brass knuckles. That followed a March incident in which Culliver allegedly drove without a license, slammed his Ford Mustang into a bicyclist in San Jose, tried to flee and then used the brass knuckles to threaten a witness who followed him. Culliver has pleaded not guilty.Hamed Aleaziz is a San Francisco Chronicle staff writer.
I have a simple question: If the circumstances were unclear after the 1st video of Rice pulling his fiance out of the elevator, what were the other possibilities, other than he had knocked her out. If she passed out after drinking or slipped and fell after drinking, why suspend him at all. If ????? well other than him knocking her out, I give up. It was the outrage after the 2nd video that resulted in the additional punishment. People more enraged by the 2nd video are as bad as Goodell - why the 2nd video not the first? Does he deserve punishment? Yes. Was 2 games too light? Yes. The outrage caused a change in the rules and a good one. However, to change his punishment with no new evidence (it was obvious he knocked her out), just a more upsetting view of the same evidence is wrong and it was done for the wrong reasons.The punishment was too light too keep Rice in the game and revenues for the team & NFL up. The increase was done for the exact same reasons. The NFL, the people trying to reduce domestic violence, and really everyone should ask what policy will really do this? Will a wife that is a victim in the future not come forward about abuse if she sees her husband or future husband losing millions, due to gut reactions by the NFL, which will also cost her millions as his wife hesitate to report abuse. Would not a punishment plan designed to offer the abuser an incentive to change be a better alternative? I do not propose a specific solution but I am sure one motivated by the NFL's gut reaction to public opinion that may effect revenue, instead of a solution motivated by a desire to solve the problem is probably not the best one. However, is the solution now in place for now.
PK is lining up his next man-crush in the NFL. It's currently Bill Belichik but he has Chip Kelly on the bench. So much love for a guy that hasn't done anything yet.
I disagree with your comment that Mike "Will" Sam was the best name for a linebacker. Steve (and son Mike) Stonebreaker share that distinction.
" in the tenor of these times"
In the tenor of these times where commitment enables a cross section of our society to engage and impregnate their "Girlfriend" In the tenor of these times where as an employer I am expected to take a text from an employee's "Girlfriend " as the appropriate method of calling out and missing work.. In the tenor of these times where responsibility is always subjected to the review of the lie that always goes with the lack of integrity-- from the very top on down..
Peter has nailed it-- the Girlfriend who is carrying Mcdonald's child will certainly score if she took a couple of bruises --and Mcdonald may be free to continue his career if he can have his people craft a lie that says he did not-- Wow in the tenor of these times where we see lies from everyone-- Who cares what happens to either of these people??? Mcdonald's millions being fleeced by lawyers on both sides and his utility to the 49ers ...pretty much all that anyone including Peter really care about.
This won't be an early test. The NFL will find a glitch in their program and say that this guy didn't have enough time to learn the new rules so he does not fall under the new discipline. They thought just putting it out there that new suspensions are coming would cure the problem. What they don't realize is that once a thug always a thug. Not just black players but you will also see white players doing the same thing. Although the white players have been coached by white fathers as to how to get away with it most of the time. The NFL is a joke as far as caring about people. The care about one thing, the money. When the pressure was put on them after the Ray Rice incident then they suddenly changed the rules. Not because it was the right thing to do but because of the backlash from all the people who wrote to the NFL complaining. Goodell even admitted that when he introduced the policy. So we all know the truth. Follow the Money.
So, when will the great commish penalize Mr. Irsay? Just wondering. Likely never. Too many players who have smoked a couple skinnys to worry about. Rich, white drug users/traffickers that own a team are exempt.
MMQB Comments Haiku:
Idiots come out
Others try to educate
Steaming mound of crap
It seems in a way ironic that we need to repeat "lets wait for the facts". The black community seems unwilling in cases like that in Ferguson and others to do that and the media fans the sentiment and creates an atmosphere of hysteria. I cannot make any sort of judgment on the little bit of information that has been released and I would expect no one else could either. What is so difficult about waiting until we hear the facts and not jumping to conclusions before hand. The media is the culprit here, it is their overwhelming desire to create a controversy and sell ads and newspapers that makes this difficult. This is no different then selling "racism" when they find a black/white issue, its just egregious and not professional in any way. Give the man his day in court before you make any judgements.
The Ray McDonald debate in the Bay Area is both disturbing and fascinating. A number of writers and talking heads have already assumed the man's guilt, and the call for him to be suspended, or at least prevent from playing immediately grows louder by the day.
A couple of points about such reactions: the 49ers have allowed this teams reputation to be trashed in the last three years, and Trent Baalke is clearly the point man of the "just win, baby" philosophy that would have appalled Bill Walsh. But Jed York owns this team, and Trent Baalke is his employee, not to mention a GM with a very brief record of success in the NFL. This is not Bill Walsh. And if Baalke has any sense of power in terms of setting public policy for the 49ers, that void that he sees himself filling is Jed York's doing. York needs to be heard and he needs to speak at some length about what has happened to this team's reputation.
But another point seems to me far more important: none of us knows if Ray McDonald is guilty. To assume that he is guilty, as local writers Scott Ostler and Tim Kawakami are doing may sell papers, yet their logic is misguided and their facts are simply wrong. This is not a clear cut case, at least not from the details that they themselves have reported. By comparison, Aldon Smith drove into a tree. The photos of that incident left little doubt what about had happened (including Smith's pathetic, drunken mug shot). In Ray McDonald's case, the situation is obviously far more complicated, and while he very well might be guilty--and I'd agree that without question he should be cut immediately if he is guilty, regardless of any impact on the roster or this team's success--it is fair to say the man just might be innocent. People do make up stories, make up charges, even key "facts" about how bruises happen, especially when they are angry; that scenario here is conceivable, and to emphasize the point seems important when the concept of due process is really the issue.
For me the question now is why so many writers believe it's acceptable to assume Ray McDonald is guilty? Is that stance in any way a moral high ground? And if you don't assume that fact, then why should McDonald be punished before the legal system judges him?
Jerra's mad. Someone gonna get fired.
I only wish your "new policy (anti-Redskins)" faced as "stiff (a) test," from publishers, peers & public, Peter.
""Effective immediately, violations of the Personal Conduct Policy regarding assault, battery, domestic violence or sexual assault that involve physical force will be subject to a suspension without pay of six games for a first offense"
I dont understand, what was the penalty before? If it was up to goodel then this measly 2 game suspension is on him,just like the big ben rape suspension.
I never read Peter King's column for the content, but only for the comments.
I still think its messed up rice STILL only gets 2 games. Big ben only gets a few games also, because the cops sucked in that case also. Why is the nfl blaming the cops when it doesnt matter?
Spend some more time up here in Portland, Mr. King. There are nine microbrews in the city alone, with more in the surrounding region. We love our beer, and I'm sure you will too.
Thanks for the love for the NDSU Bison!

@RoyCrim Hey, who knew Glenn Beck posts here?
@Shwump That's with any business. But if you read the responses of the 3 advocates Goodell brought in about domestic abuse, they all said they would be watching to see if the policy will be implemented and will speak out strongly against the NFL if it isn't. So I think it's very likely that you will see him hit with something more daunting than what Ray Rice got.
@ianforbes NFL just suspended Irsay for 6 games and $500K.
@Mech oh just shut up
@Mech "The black community in Ferguson" didn't trust the cops to provide "the facts," and they have a multitude of damn good reasons for that mistrust. No honest, intelligent observer can deny that. You are a completely blind fool if you've been following this case and all of the information that has come out about Ferguson and its history and you still don't get it.
The protests have vastly increased the possibility of "the facts" coming out because the eyes of the nation are now on Ferguson. The clowns pretending racism no longer exists deserve nothing but contempt.
@DavidHarte I think the factors that you pointed out in regards to the issues the rest of the team have had and the fact that this came directly after Goodell's release of a statement about needing to do more about domestic violence led to the perfect storm for the media to jump on the McDonald case.
@killer44 Jerra is the one who should be fired. He seems no more competent than Donald Sterling at this point.
@KeysSteven The policy is tested every time he blogs. Look below; It still draws a crowd. If you wanted to make a point disappear and lower the amount of clicks.

@MoeLarryAndJesus @Mech The kid was a punk the cop performed abortion on a criminal life
@MoeLarryAndJesus @Mech So the rioting and looting against their friends and neighbors - the shop owners - was necessary too in order to get the facts out?
Protests absolutely can work when done peacefully and with clear messages; what's happened in Ferguson goes far beyond that.
No doubt. The timing is just unbelievable, all the more because McDonald has been considered one of the good guys on this team for years, and clearly an intelligent man.
If he did this, it's both appalling and bizarre.
@MoeLarryAndJesus @killer44 Please don't fire him. His incompetence helps my Eagles win the division!
@Raiderforlife @MoeLarryAndJesus @Mech Abort yourself.
@Mike26 @MoeLarryAndJesus @Mech I know that right-wing morons assume the protesters and the looters in Ferguson were one and the same, but of course that wasn't the case. In reality many of the protesters tried to stop the looting. Of course the Ferguson cops were engaged in multiple assaults on the peaceful protesters as well as the looters, so those cops are apparently right-wing morons themselves.
If no protests or looting had occurred the killing of Michael Brown would have been swept under the usual rug and you, Mikey, would have been perfectly happy about that. You can pretend otherwise all you wish, but try to be honest with yourself for once in your life. You don't care one bit about the constant police harassment that goes on in places like Ferguson, and you don't care how many unarmed black men are gunned down under suspicious circumstances by Officer Unfriendly. You don't even care about a burned out Quik Mart all that much, but you'll pretend you do because it allows you to do what you do best - harrumph and feel good about how much better you are than "those people."
@Mike26 @MoeLarryAndJesus Mechowho said everyone was rioting? That vast majority were peacefully protesting. It was the police acting aggressive. And when you have a lawless town like Ferguson that's what happens
@DavidHarte @usameos6 : Clearly the NFL and Goodell are in a tough spot here. The timing of this puts the pressure on them for "action".
Now, the thing is, the NFL can't wait for the courts to do their business, as it's just too long of a timeframe. The NFL will have to do their own fact finding and come to their own conclusions far before the courts.
Not an easy position. McDonald should not be judged by the public and the media before he has his day in court (when has that EVER happened before?), but his employer certainly has the means to satisfy their own needs regarding his football status without waiting for the legal system.
@MartyJenkins @Mike26 @Wombat The nuts predominate on the right. These teabaggers are just a bunch of twisted, ignorant lunatics I wouldn't trust to make a ham sandwich. There is no comparable group on the left.
@MartyJenkins @Mike26 @Wombat Yes, but the massage parlors that give them are watched by the police... :}
@MartyJenkins I was paraphrasing another "self-astute" poster here on the board - there wasn't any political seriousness to it.
@BushidoBrownsRevenge @Mike26 @MoeLarryAndJesus It is a right to question any authority through peaceful protest in this country. The people of Ferguson did nothing wrong. Most of the looters and trouble makers were from outside of their community. Sadly, the troublemakers are the ones that make the nightly news... The facts will come out as they will. Has the media exacerbated the issue, perhaps. Does the community of Ferguson have a right to doubt the police investigation, yes. Is racism a part of the issue here, of course. The problem now is that there are too many people involved with too many differing agendas to allow the system to work properly so I doubt justice will ever be done. The media has their frenzy, the police will get their say, the looters have their day, but sadly; the people of Ferguson will not have anything solved. Until the problems causing issues like this to occur are addressed events like this will continue to occur. Ferguson is no different than any other town in the USA.
@MoeLarryAndJesus @MartyJenkins @Mike26 @Wombat Sadly Moe, education and sanity are not questioned when voting. Your vehemence against all things conservative, (even if justified), is just as damaging as the hard line zealotry of the Right. Yelling and name calling only blocks dialog... it isn't helping the situation. So, while I understand you are a believer in the Left's ideals you are not promoting their cause by your actions. Only through common goals and compromise will our country regain it's prominence. The current polarization and accompanying hatred is only exacerbating the problems. Remember, I have no dog in this race as I don't like either side. I am just hoping the two "sides" learn to talk to one another again so that we can move forward as a nation. Right now, the Left is no more willing to compromise than the Right and BOTH party's agenda are designed for the acquisition and retention of power only, not public service.
@Wombat @BushidoBrownsRevenge @Mike26 @MoeLarryAndJesus The hope for change in Ferguson lies with the ballot box. The drooling fascists at Fox News were INCENSED that activists were setting up voter registration booths at the protest sites. But if enough black voters show up at the polls they can get rid of that idiotic mayor and force some changes in what is clearly a police department filled with racist trash.
@Wombat @BushidoBrownsRevenge @Mike26 @MoeLarryAndJesus : Not to mention the fact that there are stories from reporters who were just standing on the streets to cover the protests, and they were strong-armed by police and shot with rubber bullets - which can maim and kill. A protest can become a riot very quickly if the authority's first reaction is to disperse the crowd with tear gas and blunt riot control ammunition.
@Wombat @MoeLarryAndJesus @MartyJenkins @Mike26 Sorry, Womby, but you're just showing how uninformed you are. The Dems compromised with the ACA, which was based on ideas formed by the right-wing Heritage Foundation and put into place (via compromise) by Willard Romney and Ted Kennedy in Massachusetts. "Obamacare" is the very quintessence of compromise, but the GOP went bat-guano nuts over it because they hate Obama. They hate it even more now because it's working so well.
The "both sides suck" idea is pushed by some media but it's lazy thinking that doesn't reflect current reality. The GOP now sucks almost completely. The Dems are way too cozy with Wall Street and the stupid War On Drugs, but they're not dominated by crazy morons from Texas. The GOP is.
@MoeLarryAndJesus @Wombat @BushidoBrownsRevenge @Mike26 I agree that the ballot box is the most powerful tool here but it is slow and not always reliable. While I am not as convinced as you of the guilt of the Right and the purity of the Left, (I am much more inclined to believe that both are out for themselves and think nothing of the people the are supposed to serve), I do agree that the Ferguson police are a symptom of a major problem in our society... and cover-ups and attempts at repressing the press won't do them any favors.
@Wombat @MoeLarryAndJesus @BushidoBrownsRevenge @Mike26 I've never said anything about the left being pure. But the Dems are a centrist party these days - anyone who thinks Obama is a socialist is an ignorant whackjob - and the Republicans have been hijacked by their extreme right.
You can say both sides are the same and are self-serving, but there are 10 million+ people who have health care today despite the deranged Republican opposition to a plan that was originated by conservatives.
And the ONLY people supporting the racist status quo in Ferguson are right-wingers. I don't see how anyone could seriously argue otherwise.
@MoeLarryAndJesus @Wombat @BushidoBrownsRevenge @Mike26 You may be more optimistic than I Moe... I think the Dems got the ACA put in place to garner votes, not help people. I think the Repubs are tending right to pander to their base. No one is putting a platform together to help Americans. They only plan for what they can do to get them the most votes. Civil servants don't care anymore... except about power.
@Wombat @MoeLarryAndJesus @BushidoBrownsRevenge @Mike26 Sorry, but helping 10+ million people is a real accomplishment and it seems to have hurt, not helped Dems electorally in the short run. I suspect in the long run it will help them, but so what? They deserve to be helped because they did the right thing, even if it didn't go far enough.
So you can say both sides are the same but one side has actually helped a huge number of people. The other side seems to be interested only in tax cuts for millionaires. Trickle-down economics is a failed dogma and only one party is still pushing it.
@MoeLarryAndJesus @Wombat @BushidoBrownsRevenge @Mike26 I'm glad you have something to believe in... I hope that they never let you down. I've just seen too much from both parties to believe in their altruism any longer... and failed dogma to one is gospel to another so regardless of the uselessness of our folks in Washington the polarization of the nation will continue... to our detriment... and until BOTH sides admit that they need to work together and compromise nothing of value will happen. Your zeal for your beliefs will just keep butting heads with the zeal from the other side... no one is 100% right or 100% wrong.
@Wombat @MoeLarryAndJesus @BushidoBrownsRevenge @Mike26 Womby, you're not listening. I don't say the Dems are 100% right. I don't even say the Repubs are 100% wrong, but they're sure coming close these days. The Repubs reject altruism explicitly. That's why Rand Paul and Paul Ryan worship Ayn Rand.
Obama kept offering compromises to the GOP and they kept spitting on him. The way to force them to compromise is to defeat them over and over again at the polls until they regain their sanity as a party. Or until their party dies and is replaced by a sane one.

Three alleged counterfeit cellphone sellers are now out of service.
Qiang Chen and Ye Zhang, both of Syosset and doing business as AMAX International Group, were arrested, along with Robert Eisenberg of Manhattan, as part of a multi-agency investigation into sales of counterfeit cellphones. The three arrests were accompanied by the seizure of more than 32,000 counterfeit Chinese cellphones worth more than $2 million.
The investigation began in January when customs agents at JFK International Airport inspected a shipment of cellphones from China and suspected they were counterfeit. They sent the phones to the respective companies they were labeled as, including Motorola, HTC, LG and Casio, for testing. The manufacturers determined the phones were fakes.

- Former Agape World brokers found guilty in fraud
At that point, the Nassau County District Attorney's office began flagging shipments from both the sender and recipient. In total eight shipments were made between January and June. The phones were stored at warehouses in Hicksville and Plainview.
Search warrants were executed Tuesday at the warehouses, as well as on a shipment at JFK, resulting in the seizure of more than 32,000 phones with a retail value of more than $2 million. The recipients would re-package and sell the counterfeit phones online or through legitimate cellphone wholesalers who were likely unaware they were receiving counterfeit goods.
Business records will be analyzed to determine what companies were duped by the counterfeit phones, and they will be contacted and warned to investigate their inventory.
Chen, Zhang and Eisenberg have been charged with several counts of trademark counterfeiting. If convicted, they each face up to four years in prison.

Film: Hell's Angels
Hell's Angels is a 1930 film directed by Howard Hughes and starring Ben Lyon, James Hall, and Jean Harlow in her Star-Making Role. Lyon and Hall play Monte and Roy Rutledge, students at Oxford at the start of World War I. Harlow is Helen, the local society girl that Roy is sweet on—although unfortunately for Roy she is not as sweet on him. Roy is the serious, high-minded one who wants to have a family with Helen, while Monte likes good times and carousing.Roy signs up with the RFC immediately at the start of the war. Monte is essentially tricked into signing up by a pretty girl at a recruiting station. The brothers are assigned to the same unit and go off to France, where they learn the truth about Helen and about war. They survive an attack on a German zeppelin, but later have to go on a dangerous mission behind enemy lines to bomb an ammunition depot.The Troubled Production of Hell's Angels was notorious at the time, and was dramatized 75 years later in The Aviator. Shooting lasted for three years. Hughes, who was 22 years old when production started in 1927, was Doing It for the Art, spending rivers of money on elaborate sets and dozens of planes used for the flying scenes. The entire film was in the can when the talkie revolution spurred Hughes into scrapping almost all of his silent footage and re-shooting everything with sound. Greta Nissen, the Swedish actress who had played Helen during shooting of the silent film, was replaced by the 18-year-old unknown Harlow when filming of the talking scenes commenced. Hughes hired and fired three directors before taking on the aerial scenes himself and hiring James Whale, who would soon have his breakout hit with Frankenstein, to direct the talking scenes. (Hughes received sole directing credit.) The film didn't earn its money back because Hughes spent so much, but it was well received, winning an Academy Award for cinematography.
- Blood from the Mouth: Happens with one of the pilots in the aerial dogfight, after taking a machine-gun burst.
- The Casanova: Monte. In his Establishing Character Moment, he brings one girl to a bar where another one of his girls works as a waitress.
- Chekhov's Gunman: Baron von Kranz, the officer who Roy fights a duel with in 1914, is the officer who questions Roy and Monte after they are captured years later.
- Cold Equation: See Heroic Sacrifice below.
- Dirty Coward: In the last scene, Monte is perfectly willing to tell the Germans about the attack and condemn a British division to slaughter in order to save his own skin. His brother has to shoot him In the Back to keep him quiet.
- Downer Ending: Roy shoots his brother and is promptly executed by the Germans.
- Emergency Cargo Dump: See Heroic Sacrifice below.
- Get Out: Helen to Monte after he grows a conscience following sex with her.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Most of the crew of the zeppelin willingly jump to their deaths to try and lighten the load so it can escape the RFC. A couple have to be pushed.
- High-Class Glass: Baron von Kranz, the German officer who catches Monte with his wife in 1914, wears one of these.
- Hitler Cam: An anarchist protesting against the war is shot this way, right before the audience pulls him off his platform and beats him.
- Honor Before Reason: When Monte skips out on his duel with Baron von Kranz, Roy, who is worried about the social stigma, takes his place.
- Mildly Military: Monte apparently is a good enough pilot but definitely isn't down with the whole war thing. His response when the squadron is roused to take on a zeppelin bombing London?"Surely we don't all have to go. I'm tired."
- Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Jean Harlow makes no attempt to sound British.
- Really Gets Around: Helen will sleep with anything in a uniform, while also pretending to love Roy.
- Sexy Backless Outfit: Harlow wears one for the ball scene.
- Slip into Something More Comfortable: Helen says this when seducing Roy. She then re-emerges wearing a robe tied loosely enough that it appears to reveal a breast. (Yes, this film was made before enforcement of The Hays Code.) This film is believed to be the Trope Namer.Helen: Would you be shocked if I put on something more comfortable?
- Splash of Color: The formal ball is shot in Technicolor. This scene is the only color footage of Jean Harlow.
- Taking You with Me: A British pilot plows his plane into the Zeppelin.

The president stopped short of calling the blasts at the marathon terror attacks during his prepared remarks, but CNN is reporting that federal investigators have classified them that way.
The Boston Globe has just released a chilling video that captures the extent of the horror of the Boston Marathon explosions Monday afternoon, including the sounds of both blasts being detonated and the screams and shouts of the panicked crowd in the aftermath.

Officials also said during a news conference that a third incident has been reported at the JFK Library in Boston.
"Somebody's leg flew by my head," one spectator told the Boston Herald. "I gave my belt to stop the blood."

I have an Edit text field and set his inputType to
The default view shows little dot icons. I would like to increase their size. I assume that there's no
"largeTextPassword" option and you should set this up yourself.
I made a new large dot icon and would like to place it in instead of the regular one. Now I use the
setText() method to insert the text into it. How do I combine between those values?
I'v tried to increase the
textSize but the padding drove me crazy on different screen sizes.
I'v tried to use the
setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(R.drawable.dot, 0, 0, 0) method but still, I'm not sure this the right way.
If someone can shed some light on this would be great.

Presentation at Stocktoberfest
- Posted by JC Parets
- on October 27th, 2012
This was an awesome couple days out in San Diego. I learned a ton about some startups that are doing incredible things. And more importantly I got to meet and hang out with some of the most brilliant minds that the market has to offer.
A lot of people approached me about sharing my slide presentation so here you go. What I tried to do was to talk about many of the different types of analysis that we do: correlation analysis, sector rotation, momentum analysis, seasonality, sentiment, and most importantly risk management. Then we just talked a little bit about some of the trends that we currently like and what we're watching closely for 2013. (here is the video)
