Patagonia Clothing & Gear
Patagonia is clearly our favorite brand here at Rock/Creek. It started as a small company importing shirts for rock climbers. The company is still privately owned and they still make clothes for climbing… and for trail running, mountaineering, paddling, trail running, hiking, backpacking, skiing, snowboarding, fly fishing, and just about any other active pursuit you can imagine. If your sport takes you outdoors and doesn't involve a motor or a cheering crowd, Patagonia clothing and Patagonia gear are for you.
Patagonia takes a lot of pride in protecting the environment and they donate to many grassroots charities around the world. The organic materials they use, like cotton made grown without pesticides, and recycled polyester, help reduce the impact of the clothes you wear, and will help on our journey to preserve the environment for generations to come.
The clothing Patagonia manufacturers is some of the best in the business. Whether you are an avid hiker, backpacker, rock climber, skier, or just want a nice Patagonia down jacket for the urban jungle, they have what you are looking for at every price point. If you need a high quality Patagonia backpack Rock/Creek carries them all, like the Patagonia Ascensionist Pack!
Patagonia makes great gear for men and women but they do not stop there. They make fantastic clothing, jackets, and gear for kids. The level of quality and durability of Patagonia kid's clothing can handle the abuse that any child can throw at it. It will take a beating and keep going so you know that the money you are spending will not go to waste. Your child will be warm, comfortable, and stylish in a Patagonia shirt, jacket, swimsuit, or backpack. So when they go to school or on vacation, get them the best they can have with Patagonia.
For all of your Patagonia needs call Rock/Creek. We have free shipping on orders over $49 and have an experienced and friendly staff to help you with all your outdoor clothing, footwear, and gear questions. We're trained by factory reps every season, and we also live in this gear, so we know and use the Patagonia gear you see here.
From the Rock/Creek blog:
Now available: Patagonia GORE-TEX jackets!
"Less than 15 ounces for a GORE-TEX Pro Shell jacket? Yep. Intended for ultralight alpinists planning long ascents, it's hard to imagine a true 3-layer waterproof/breathable jacket being any lighter than this. This is the ultimate minimalist shell jacket, for fast-and-light trips to far-away places that most of us have never even heard of..."
Rock/Creek's Top 10 Green Products
"Picking the greenest Patagonia product is like picking the prettiest sunset; it's impossible. Patagonia donates 1% of its annual sales to green causes, every single year, and they maintain a Common Threads program which allows you to recycle old Patagonia gear when you finally wear it out. Patagonia's environmentalism is inseparable from its product philosophies..."
Staff Pick: the Patagonia Ultralight Down Shirt
"We're all trying to save weight and space in our packs, regardless of which active pursuit is at hand, and a warm layer for those 'what if?' situations is often the one that doesn't make the final cut. Patagonia scoffs at our excuses; frankly, at just under 6 ounces, we don't have many excuses left..."
The History of Patagonia:
Yvon Chouinard started climbing in 1953, and by 1957 he'd started making his own reusable pitons to replace the soft iron models of the day. In 1965, Chouinard Equipment was born, and by 1970 it was the largest supplier of climbing hardware in the US, having redesigned and improved nearly every climbing tool. Soon, Chouinard's environmentalism led to the company's introduction of chocks that didn't harm the rock as pitons did. After buying a brightly-colored rugby shirt on a climbing trip in Scotland, climbing friends asked where to get one, and by 1972 Chouinard was selling rain jackets, bivouac sacks, and gloves. Patagonia was born.
Since, the Patagonia brand has led the way for technical fabrics and outdoor apparel. Patagonia is the company that first taught us about layering in the late 70s. In fall of 1985, Patagonia Capilene base layers and Patagonia Synchilla fleeces hit the market, replacing their polypropylene underwear and synthetic boiled-wool predecessors. Patagonia brought vivid colors to an outdoor market previously entrenched in forest greens and drabs. Later, Patagonia would introduce the world to Regulator insulation, Nano Puff insulation and more.
Patagonia is also an environmental leader in the industry. In 1988, they initiated their first environmental campaign, working to deurbanize the Yosemite Valley. For decades, Patagonia has used organic cotton fabrics, and continues to lead the charge by utilizing recycled polyester and instituting the Common Threads recycling program to recycle worn-out Patagonia clothing when its functional lifespan is over. Patagonia also donates 1% of its annual revenue to environmental causes, and strives to reduce the manufacturing footprint for each style produced.
The products in the Patagonia Clothing & Gear category have an average rating of 5 of 5 from 2364 customer reviews.

Time to let out your inner geek because the 2015 CES (International Consumer Electronics Show) starts their week in Las Vegas and the 4 day show will delight consumers with the latest in high tech electronics and gadgets. While 2014 introduced us to fitness tracker technology 2015 has expanded on that theme, as this year's show is centered around all things wearable. Fitness trackers in CES have exciting new features that are sure to dazzle consumers and there are also a lot of new offerings, from smartwatches to GPS devices. While some of these devices may seem other worldly (ala 'The Jetsons'), they are all fully functional and definitely worth checking out.
Stars of The ShowFitness trackers in CES are still the stars of this year's show and there are several that consumers will want to keep their eye on. These gadgets have been written and raved about by some of the top tech experts, so pay close attention.
The Vibe Band VB10
This tracker/smartwatch hybrid is from technology giant Lenovo and is an impressive blend of form and function. It has an E-ink display, which means it can last on a single charge for about a week, even when you run all of its features on a continual basis. It is waterproof and will also be both iOS and Android compatible when it is launched in April, so everyone can use it. There will be several fitness apps you can use with your smartphone along with smartphone capabilities built-in, like Facebook and Twitter notifications. VB10 will be available in the US April 2015.
Mashable agrees that "The Lenovo band might not be the most hyped or daring, but the price is certainly not bad."

|New Watauga HS: Commissioners consider neighbors' requests
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Wednesday, 06 June 2007 04:19
A plan to move 25 graves from the property for the new Watauga High School to Mount Lawn Memorial Park is not the only issue Watauga County Commissioners have dealt with this week.
Schuller Ferris Linstrom and Associates, or SfL+a, the architecture firm designing the new high school, requested a $39,000 increase in funding. Additional property on the Ray Greene lot was not included in the original estimate, the firm said. Commission chair Jim Deal was irritated at the increase, especially since the firm recommended the additional purchase. That, and residents' opposition fueled the commission's unanimous rejection of the measure.
The public hearing gave Commissioners a lot to think about, and they did not want to authorize funds before they made a final decision on the property.

On February 27 and 28, USSA (Utah Schools Sports Alliance) conducted their first state basketball tournament for both girls and boys. The girls from Pinnacle High School began tournament play by dominating Merit Preparatory Academy in a 71-16 win and finished as champions.
Julianne Price was the first game's high scorer with 15 points, followed by Jordan Hamner and Monique Hullings dropping 14 points each to help the Lady Panthers find their way to victory.
The PHS gals continued their destined play against Paradigm High School, winning easily 55-37 and clinching a place in the championship game on Saturday. Sarah Norton led the team in scoring with 26 points.
"Saturday morning the girls spent their time cheering on the Pinnacle boys, as they waited for their championship game where they again would face Paradigm," said Pinnacle Business Manager Paula Wells.
The girls did not let any pre-game jitters get the best of them as they showed the true grit downing Paradigm 31-27 in the championship game.
"The girls fought hard throughout the game trading the lead with Paradigm several times," said Wells.
Sarah Norton again led the team in points, pouring in 20.
Coach Heidi Kay stated "I am proud of the girls and their accomplishment."
Kay led the small team to the victory they had dreamed of, the girls were 12-1 in regular season play and the regular season champions.
Kay is a two time winner this season, as she led the Pinnacle High girls volleyball team to the state title this year as well.
At the end of the tournament Pinnacle garnered several accolades as Coach Kay was named USSA Girls Basketball Coach of the Year.
Additionally, Sarah Norton was honored as the tournament's most valuable player.
Norton scored a total of 51 points in the two day tournament.
Participating members of the Lady Panthers are: Julianne Price, Mariah Dimick, Jordan Hamner, Tesla Marakis, Hannah Urbanik, Monique Hullings, Rylie Birch and seniors, Jessica Hardy, Sarah Norton and Crystal Sherman.

Interpreting Sandy Alderson's interview on WFAN
Matthew Cerrone , Lead Writer
I find it difficult to take everything Sandy Alderson says at face value. Frankly, this is a compliment, because I think any CEO should be very careful with how he answers questions. That may not be a whole lot of fun for sports debate and speculation, but it's smart business.
Thankfully, Francesa has a way of pulling (on the record) information from Alderson that I don't hear in his public conversations with reporters.
So, in listening between the lines of this interview, and based on other things I've heard from people connected to the team, it's sounding to me like:
RA Dickey will either be signed to an extension or traded.
The team will make David Wright an offer worth more than $100 million, but he will be here on Opening Day whether he signs it or not.
Alderson would like to add 30 to 40 home runs to the lineup over the next two seasons, probably in the outfield; and he's more likely to trade Dickey, Lucas Duda and Jon Niese than Ike Davis, Matt Harvey or Zack Wheeler to make that happen… though I'm not sure any of these people will be moved.
The last two seasons were about removing (and not adding) long-term commitments, while also evaluating prospects.
He has just $5 to $10 million to spend this winter, so I expect maybe one substantive trade surrounded by smaller acquisitions. However, because of Jason Bay and Johan Santana, he'll have close to $50 million to spend one year from now, since the team's budget should still be around $100 million.
Also, if I had to bet, Scott Hairston will not be on the Mets if he gets a two-year offer from another team, and Bay is more likely to be released during next season than before it (assuming he can't be traded first).[/sny-editorial]

Does the magic trackpad work better than the magic mouse?
My magic mouse is terrible. Right-clicking is a nightmare, and the battery power is weak. I always need to re-charge the batteries.

- easier for most people to use

No. The problem with the trackpad is that you can't touch it, unless you want the mouse to move. You end up with your hand poised in the air above the trackpad - which as already tilted up - and this is actually much worse ergonomically than a mouse where your hand can rest on the mouse. I love the magic mouse. I keep the trackpad nearby for a few gestures but it's mostly just taking up space.
- Answered by William S from Durham

Well, for me personally, I never unpacked my Magic Mouse after working with my Magic Trackpad for a few hours. However, that's subjective and merely my own opinion. I have read that some people like to use both, depending on what they do on their Mac's.
Battery life is also not that great with the Trackpad. I purchased the Apple battery charger and believe me, between the wireless keyboard, the Magic Mouse, and the Trackpad, it won't take long until it will pay for itself.

Yes! I have both. I shelved the mouse awhile back, but the trackpad will stay a long time. It has no moving parts, is easy to clean, fits perfectly on my ergonomic trackpad, and it even relieves my carpal tunnel pain!

Unfortunately my Track pad was a dud right from the first day. I love mac I have a 27" iMac and love it. I think you would be better off going to buy a logitec wireless mouse to save you headaches I run one on my mac and it's flawless, I know that is the last thing I wanted to do but it just works. It's up to you but just make sure to ask the salesman to test your mouse before buying that way you will save your self some money before buying it.
Hope this helped.

- Flag as inappropriate Answer 6
I have not tried the Magic Mouse, but have been using the MBP Pro Retina 15" laptop trackpad for a year and many other mice over the decades since they were invented. I actually find myself using BOTH for what each does best.
The trackpad allows extremely convenient gestures that no mice can perform (scrolling is so much easier and more flexible with the trackpad). But, I find that my hands need to be perfectly clean and dry or they tend to stick to the trackpad and not glide smoothly. It is during those moments that I instinctively reach for the mouse. (I wipe down my trackpad every night with 91% alcohol to keep the friction as low as possible.) But, in humid environments, or if I'm rushed and stressed, and my fingertips get a little moist, the trackpad can become fairly difficult to use, simply due to the increased friction.
I also find that dragging and dropping or selecting text passages can often be easier with a mouse (with or without damp fingertips) but not always. It's weird. If I have been on the one device for a while and am getting fatigued in that position, shifting to the other sometimes feels "refreshing" and easier...at least until that position causes a little fatigue. In general though, I find the trackpad to be more ergonomic and have read how some folks have been able to cure their carpal tunnel or other RTIs by switching to a trackpad.
Lastly, I also notice that it's convenient - spacially - to have both available. If my hand is closer to the trackpad, I hot the trackpad. If it's closer to the mouse, I hit the mouse.
- Answered by David C from Hilton
- Flag as inappropriate Answer 7
It depends whether you are more comfortable with a trackpad or mouse. I like the versatility of a mouse and find the gestures available to the magic mouse to be more than enough for my needs as a graphic designer and someone on the computer for most of the day. For me personally, the mouse is a better option, but the trackpad is pretty neat too and may appeal to others. I have no issues battery life on the Mmouse at this juncture.
- Answered by Kort K from Boca Raton
- Flag as inappropriate Answer 8
Yes, but that answer is subjective. I have used a Mac Laptop as my only computer for so many years that I am used to navigating with the trackpad. When I bought the new iMac last month I got the magic mouse and couldn't stand it. I'm sure it's a good design but I am now afraid of mice!
- Answered by Aaron G from Lincoln City
- Flag as inappropriate Answer 9
I have tried just about every pointing device made in the last 30 years. I always favored a mouse, and never liked track pads. However the magic Trackpad is different. It is the only trackpad that feels right. Most, including trackpads built into Apple laptops, feel like ice rinks that allow the cursor to skate by the target. The Magic Trackpad is precise, and easy to use. If you spend an hour with it you will pack your mouse away for the few occasions where it might work better. For everyday use this trackpad is simply a pleasure to use.
- Answered by Paul S from Lexington
- Flag as inappropriate Answer 10
I just got the Trackpad and love it. I can rest my fingers on it, unlike what others have reported. It is sensitive, which I like because because a soft touch serves as a click. I have already stored my mouse. I changed preferences to activate the right click and it works perfectly. It is the perfect size for my hand. it takes less effort and is elegant.
- Answered by J Michele W from Mammoth Lakes
- Flag as inappropriate Answer 11
Complex answer:
See all the subjective answers in this session as regarding so many 'personal' opinions all of which are valid but still subjective!
Buy both and try for a week and return the one that is worser 'on your hands' i.e. unless you try them out, all these opinions are only hearsay. Hope this helps!
- Answered by Sanjeev S
- Flag as inappropriate Answer 12
I have used both and hate both. Like someone said on here, the problem with these devices is that you CANNOT rest your hands or fingers on it. So if you're like me, you will find your wrist and fingers raised off the device and after a few hours of this, will start to feel strained.

I use a Logitec gaming mouse on my main Mac and keep the magic trackpad on my mac mini which i seldomly use.

I have both, and I use both. I also have a Wacom tablet. I use all three for some of the same tasks. I find the use choice rather like a contextual menu that changes when I am trying to accomplish a greater task than the mere click.
For grand gestures, under my left hand sits the track pad, for some point and clicking, the mouse comes in handy under my right hand.

yes the most important thing to me is the battery life and the trackpad by far is better than the mouse for that reason alone. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got the trackpad and I find it to be very well designed. I agree with the above that the magic mouse is more precise and probably works better for a power user. However, I do find the mouse tends to be less ergonomic and strains my right hand a lot when I am on a long mission at my desk (I do use my hands a lot for dexterity tasks so this is a very important factor in my decision making). Thus, for me the trackpad is more versatile and ergonomic.

I like the mouse because I can use it on my leg if I choose while sitting away from the monitor and don't have to worry about it being on a flat surface. I also use the wireless keyboard from my lap. I find both more comfortable than being on a desk. If I feel the need, I can work either from the desk. The track pad works best on a flat surface.

No the magic mouse is better by far as it is easier to right click and has more infrequent battery changing

personally I use both. the magic mouse is a great tool and i would prefer this to the track pad. However, the track pad is also good to have. I use both hands, mouse left hand pad right hand. the pad has a great zoom so i love this feature

VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict held evening vespers in the Sistine Chapel on Wenesday to mark the 500th anniversary of the room's famed frescoes.
Five centuries ago, Pope Julius II entered inside Capella Sistina to see the vault completely painted by Michelangelo ... the great work, the terrible work, was finished.
It was an act of almost unrivaled artistic creation. Michelangelo considered himself first and foremost a sculptor, and looked down on painters of frescos. But Pope Julius II's invitation to paint the 5,000-square-foot ceiling of the chapel was one Michelangelo, 33 years old at the time, could hardly refuse. In essence, he was learning on the job.
The Sistine Chapel is where cardinals meet for the conclave to choose the next pope, and popes conduct baptisms and special prayers.
In the last half millennium, it has survived wars, political upheavals, and inclement weather, with surprisingly little damage. Just one section of the fresco depicting the biblical flood is missing. In 1797 it fell to the floor following a massive explosion in the nearby Castel Sant'angelo.
Today, the greatest threat to this priceless art comes from those who flock to admire it. About five million people visit the Sistine Chapel every year. That means five million people with heat, with dust with sweat.
The number of visitors is expected only to grow in coming years.
The Vatican is planning to upgrade the current climate control system for the chapel, but officials are hesitant to turn tourists away.
Michelangelo returned in 1535 to paint the last judgement on the chapel's wall. It took five years to complete this work ... a work art lovers no doubt hope will remain intact until judgement day.

To list the privileges granted to the account that you are using to connect to the server, you can use any of the following statements:
SHOW GRANTS FOR CURRENT_USER (or any of
the equivalent syntaxes) is used in
context, such as within a stored procedure that is defined with
SQL SECURITY DEFINER), the grants displayed
are those of the definer and not the invoker.
SHOW GRANTS displays only the

Selecting everything from mysql.user isn't quite the same as doing a SHOW GRANTS for user@host. Ideally, MySQL should allow a subquery on "show", where you could do "SHOW grants for (select concat(user,'@',host) from mysql.user)". However, until then, this Perl script might help (substitute "youruser" and "yourpassword" with details of a suitably privileged user):
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use DBI;
use Text::Wrap qw($columns &wrap);
my $dbase = "mysql";
my $dbuser = "youruser";
my $dbpassword = "yourpassword";
my $dbhost = "localhost";
my $dbh;
$dbh = DBI->connect( "DBI:mysql:$dbase:$dbhost", $dbuser, $dbpassword ) or die "can't open database ", $dbh->errstr, __LINE__;
my $statement = qq|SELECT User, Host from user |;
my $que = $dbh->prepare($statement);
my $result = $que->execute or die "error on database statement ", $que->errstr, __LINE__;
my $tmp;
my $columns = 120;
while ( $tmp = $que->fetchrow_hashref ) {
my $statement2 = qq| SHOW GRANTS for | . "'" . $tmp->{User} . "'\@'" . $tmp->{Host} . "'";
my $que2 = $dbh->prepare($statement2);
my $result2 = $que2->execute or die "error on database statement ", $que2->errstr, __LINE__;
print qq(Privileges for $tmp->{User}\@$tmp->{Host}:\n\n);
while ( my $tmp2 = $que2->fetchrow_hashref ) {
print wrap( "", "", $tmp2->{ "Grants for $tmp->{User}\@$tmp->{Host}" } ), "\n\n";
print "-" x 120, "\n\n";

The perl script provided by simon.ransome is very good, and runs as is. However, the print formatting is not perfect. I think the author intended the $columns variable to set the width of wrapping. If you remove the "my" from this line: my $columns = 120; then the script will work as the author intended. (in my case, I wanted to wrap at 200). Also, the line print "-" x 120, "\n\n"; could be changed to print "-" x $columns, "\n\n"; so that the separator bar will be the same width as the wrapped text. Finally, it's not a bad idea to put this at the end of the script (will occur implicitly, but I like to clean up anyway) $dbh->disconnect;

If you want to backup your MySQL grants this is a way to do it.
You need to create a ~/.my.cnf or add --user=<username> --password=<password> next to mysql
# ~/.my.cnf
To backup grants execute the following on your shell
mysql --batch --skip-column-names --execute="SELECT DISTINCT CONCAT('SHOW GRANTS FOR ''',user,'''@''',host,''';') AS query FROM user" mysql | mysql --batch --skip-column-names mysql | perl -p -e '$_ =~ s/$/;/; END { print "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;\n" }' > mysql-grants.sql
To backup the corresponding revokes execute the following on your shell
mysql --batch --skip-column-names --execute="SELECT DISTINCT CONCAT('SHOW GRANTS FOR ''',user,'''@''',host,''';') AS query FROM user" mysql | mysql --batch --skip-column-names mysql | perl -p -e 'if(/.root.\@.localhost./) { $_ = undef; } else { $_ =~ s/$/;/; $_ =~ s/^GRANT /REVOKE /; $_ =~ s/ TO / FROM /; $_ =~ s/.+ FROM (.+) IDENTIFIED BY .+/-- DROP USER $1;/; } END { print "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;\n" }' > mysql-revokes.sql
If you want to drop users remove "--" before each "DROP USER". Please note I have excluded 'root'@'localhost' for safety reason ;-P

if [ $X = "X" ]; then
echo "You must provide a username or partial username to use."
echo "showgrants.sh username1 [username2]"
echo "If only username1 is passed, all privileges for username1 will be listed as sql statements."

Is This a New Carmelo, or the Same Carmelo Getting More Appreciation?
Brian DiMennaThat photograph is sort of misleading. I don't think that Melo and Chris Kaman were ever actually that close together during Friday night's Knicks win.
If you saw the game, you saw another impressive Knicks win, with a 104-94 victory pushing New York's record to a perfect 4-0. You also saw the Knicks play a Dallas team missing Dirk Nowitzki, again offering just enough fodder for those who want to dismiss New York's hot start.
One thing that has not been getting dismissed is the impressive start to the season for Carmelo Anthony. Melo is garnering almost universal praise. Whether it's his renewed focus on the defensive end, his precision passing out of the post, or just his routine relentless scoring, every facet of Melo's game appears to be in perfect harmony.
Now, there's a part of me that is thinking that Anthony's experience in New York has been good for him. If there's one thing New York fans thrive on, it's constructive criticism. If there is a part of your game that we feel could use improvement, New Yorkers are rarely shy in gently pointing out one's shortcomings. We might say things like, "Hey you bum! Pass the ball!" or other gentle, constructive reminders of what we might expect from a superstar athlete.
But there is a part of me that wonders if this is who Anthony has been his whole career, but it's just now being appreciated because a Knicks team that many were doubting entering the season — I include myself in this group — is now 4-0 and blowing out opponents. If you look at the bulk of Anthony's statistics, advanced or not, none of it is greatly out of line with his career performance. His less quantifiable defensive improvement appears to show up in the numbers, as well, but is it the result of improved effort as has been generally observed, a natural evolution of a maturing player, or a team-wide re-commitment to the defensive end of which he's a part?
Similarly, there's little doubt that last season Melo struggled through one of the more difficult years of his career. But was the issue a lack of effort, his inability to mesh with head coach Mike D'Anotni, or the team's insufficient supporting cast, or maybe all of the above, or were legitimate flaws in his game exposed that he's addressed?
Now, admittedly, no one's had more doubts about Melo than myself, but while we're all enjoying Carmelo's stellar play to open the year, and surely digging the team's 4-0 start, I'm curious as to whether this is, in fact, some new and improved Carmelo Anthony that we're really witnessing, or just the same old version that we're finally ready to appreciate?

The Enquirer's Mark Curnutte today offered an analysis of recently released census data that shows a steady growth of the regional Hispanic population and a growth of minority population in areas outside the city that were once largely white. Cincinnati's data suggests that the city and region are slightly different than the nation's overall trend, which in 2011 for the first time found a majority of the country's under 1-year-old population minority (50.4 percent), up from 49.5 percent in 2010.
Included in The Enquirer's story, which included a profile of a Mexican-American Florence family that moved to Northern Kentucky eight years ago from Los Angeles:
A decrease of 1.3 percentage points in Hamilton County's black population under 5 was countered by increases in the black population under 5 in each of the region's six other core counties: Butler, Clermont and Warren in Ohio and Boone, Campbell and Kenton in Kentucky.
Overall, the regional population of Hispanic children under 5 years rose from 7,583 in 2010 to 8,032 in 2011, a proportional increase of 0.4 percentage points to 6.1 percent.
The family of a teenager fatally shot by a Cincinnati police officer on Fountain Square last summer has filed a federal lawsuit alleging police used excessive force and violated 16-year-old Davon Mullins' constitutional rights.

A conservative organization that advocates for immigration reform will begin running TV and radio commercials in Southwest Ohio next week that attempt to pressure House Speaker John Boehner (R-West Chester) to allow a vote on the "E-Verify" bill.
The group, Numbers USA, said Boehner is letting the bill languish in the House Ways and Means Committee so Republicans don't anger Latino voters in an election year. The House Judiciary Committee approved the bill last year.
The commercials include a 30-second TV ad and a one-minute radio ad.
Next to an image of Boehner, the TV spot states, "Meet House Republican Speaker John Boehner. He won't let Congress vote on E-Verify. Thanks to Speaker Boehner, illegal aliens can keep American jobs. Now Americans, meet the telephone … tell him to bring E-Verify for a vote or he may not like your vote in November."
Under the bill, the federal government's voluntary E-Verify system that is used to check the immigration status of employees would become mandatory nationwide.
Currently seven states require E-Verify checks and 12 others require state agencies and contractors to use it. The federal government has operated its system for the past 15 years.
About 300,000 of the 2.2 million U.S. employers with five or more employees were enrolled in E-Verify as of autumn 2011, according to workforce.com.
The Internet-based system checks any employee's personal information against the Social Security database and several Homeland Security databases.
If the employee is confirmed, that person is authorized to work. If the person isn't confirmed, he or she has eight working days to contest the finding with the Social Security Administration or the Department of Homeland Security.
"Speaker Boehner has supported legislation with E-Verify in the past, and the issue is currently working its way through the committee process," Michael Steel, a Boehner spokesman, told The Washington Times earlier this month.
But Numbers USA isn't convinced, and has launched the ad blitz in response.
Numbers USA said the bill would crack down on the hiring of undocumented immigrants and free up jobs that could be taken by unemployed U.S. citizens.
Critics, however, said the electronic monitoring system proposed by the E-Verify bill would be fraught with errors due to it reliance on incomplete or outdated databases. They cite the number of people who have mistakenly been placed on Homeland Security's terrorist watch list as an example.
Further, opponents believe the bill would lead to more under-the-table hiring, while some Libertarians have worried that it's a backdoor method for implementing a national I.D. card system.
The bill has caused some unlikely political alliances.
Supporters of the bill include President Barack Obama, GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Opponents include the American Civil Liberties Union and several labor unions.
Based in Virginia, Numbers USA was founded in 1997 by Roy Beck, an author and ex-journalist who worked for anti-immigration activist John Tanton. Tanton also helped form two other groups, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).
Numbers USA wants to reduce U.S. immigration levels to pre-1965 levels. The group's website states, "The 1990s saw the biggest population boom in U.S. history … this population boom was almost entirely engineered by federal forced-growth policies that are still in place. The Census Bureau states that Americans will suffer this kind of rapid congestion every decade into the future unless Congress changes these policies."
The Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights organization that monitors extremist groups, has said Numbers USA, FAIR and CIS have connections to white supremacist and neo-Nazi leaders.
A 2009 report by the center states, "FAIR, CIS and Numbers USA are all part of a network of restrictionist organizations conceived and created by John Tanton, the 'puppeteer' of the nativist movement and a man with deep racist roots."
The report added, "As the first article in this report shows, Tanton has for decades been at the heart of the white nationalist scene. He has met with leading white supremacists, promoted anti-Semitic ideas, and associated closely with the leaders of a eugenicist foundation once described by a leading newspaper as a 'neo-Nazi organization.' He has made a series of racist statements about Latinos and worried that they were outbreeding whites."
A bipartisan political action committee (PAC) that lobbies for "fair and just immigration laws" has selected Butler County's outspoken sheriff as one of 10 U.S. politicians inducted into its newly created Hall of Shame for local officials across the nation.
Immigrants' List says Sheriff Richard K. Jones was selected because the conservative Republican exploits fear and misinformation to make headlines and further his political ambitions.
Local clergy, civic leaders and residents will participate Tuesday in the National Day of Fasting and Prayer for Immigration Reform.
Cincinnati's prayer vigil will be held at the Su Casa Hispanic Center in Carthage.
Some local groups will be holding signs outside of Great American Ball Park today and Thursday while the Reds play, protesting Arizona's new immigration law and seeking signatures for a petition that asks Major League Baseball to move the 2011 All-Star Game from the state. The Cincinnati Interfaith Workers Center, the Immigration Advocacy Movement and various religious and civic leaders are organizing the event and will distribute leaflets to passersby.
Also, some participants plan to disrupt today's game by unfurling two large banners stating "Not in Arizona, not in Ohio — Immigrant Rights Now — No S.B. 1070" and "Shame on Arizona, Don't Spread Hate." The action was planned after Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig's announcement that he won't change the venue for next year's All-Star Game.
Forget what Lou Dobbs, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and U.S. Sen. John McCain are saying about the dangers coming into this nation from Mexico. A recent study suggests it's Mexicans who should be irate about the United States.
Police reports have already shown that crime is actually down in many towns along the U.S.-Mexico border, despite the fear-mongering tactics used by politicians who want to crack down on illegal immigration. And even Brewer was forced to admit earlier this month that no decapitated bodies have been found by U.S. law enforcement personnel, as she previously claimed.
An unusual online exchange Tuesday between an occasional CityBeat freelancer and an Enquirer sports blogger led to the blogger's own comments being deleted for violating the newspaper's terms of service.
The comment seems to have been deleted by a moderator for being racist against Hispanics.
CityBeat first wrote about the Springboro Tea Party last month, detailing the agenda for a rally planned Saturday that's heavy with speakers from the John Birch Society and movies about far-right conspiracy theories.
Now the Tea Party leader organizing the event, Brian "Sonny" Thomas, is under fire for racist and vulgar comments he posted on Twitter, which has prompted several politicians to cancel their appearances at the rally.

Ghirardelli Chocolate Culinary Stage | West Plaza
The success of the Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival would not be possible without the time and effort put in by our fabulous Project Open Hand and Ghirardelli Chocolate Company volunteers.
Project Open Hand provides meals to homebound, critically ill and seniors living in San Francisco and Alameda Counties. For only $2.00, Project Open Hand can provide a warm meal to a neighbor in need. In the last three years, the Festival raised over $185,000 translating into over 92,000 meals with love. Help us raise even more funds and provide even more meals to those who truly need it.
If you or your company would like to volunteer for the 20th Annual Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival, please visit Project Open Hand's volunteer site.
Vendor Registration for the 20th Annual Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival is now open! If you or your company would like to reserve your space, please review the Vendor Packet and contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Each year, the Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival partners with Project Open Hand, a local organization that provides meals to the homebound critically ill, senior citizens, and those living with HIV/AIDS. In the last three years, the festival raised over $185,000 for Project Open Hand. That's 92,000 meals to those in need! For more information about Project Open Hand, visit their website at www.OpenHand.org.

In 1849, Domingo Ghirardelli immigrated to the United States from his homeland of Italy with dreams of striking it rich in the California Gold Rush. After trying his hand and failing at mining, he opened a tent-store in nearby Stockton, CA, selling various supplies and confections to fellow miners. After relocating to San Francisco, he founded a new confectionery company called Ghirardelli Chocolate Company. In 1893, the company moved to what is now known as Ghirardelli Square.
Today, Ghirardelli Chocolate Company has built on its signature taste and time-honored manufacturing processes to become America's premium chocolate company.
With such a significantly historical part of our heritage beautifully located in the heart of San Francisco's waterfront, it makes perfect sense to throw a chocolate festival where it all began. Festival goers have the chance to experience the latest chocolate trends all while surrounding themselves in the rich history of America's longest operating chocolate company. The Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival started in 1996, and has been a hit every year since. Due to the overwhelming success, the festival has extended down to Beach Street and not only occupies the Plaza in the Square, but a full San Francisco block.

Building Successful Cities
In recognizing the vital part universities play in the life of a city, the University of Toronto's three distinct campuses embrace their role as city-builders in metropolitan regions they reside.
Situated in the world's most open, cosmopolitan and diverse city-region, U of T attracts talented, visionary and creative students and faculty from all over Canada and the world. Together, they are making this region a better place in which to live, work and prosper.
Our campuses are open spaces for public discussions of the most pressing and compelling social issues, whether it be addressing Toronto's housing crisis, or helping kids in the city's priority neighbourhoods:
- Our faculty lend their expertise and advice to government agencies, citizens' groups and community-based organizations on major urban policy questions.
- Our students engage in learning-by-doing, working with community partners in neighbourhoods right across the GTA.
- Our physical development plans help us to achieve our academic mission while addressing the needs and aspirations of our neighbours.
Our Impact, Our Experts
What difference do you want to make in the next few years?
"I want to help build more sustainable cities and urban transportation systems. My research involves building detailed and behaviourally sound computer simulation models of cities so that we can discover cost-effective ways in which to transform our cities into high-quality, productive and sustainable places to live and work."
- Professor Eric Miller, Civil Engineering
"I hope that my research may encourage others to balance social and environmental issues and work towards social and environmental justice in urban communities and neighbourhoods. I would like my research to be accessible outside of the university setting and to help with understanding the diverse roles of communities and neighbourhoods in cities."
- Professor Susannah Bunce, Department of Human Geography, University of Toronto Scarborough
"I want to carry out research that makes a difference in the ways that we think about and build cities. I am guided by questions about what types of infrastructure should be built to make great cities, how it should be paid for, and what processes should be followed to ensure that the decisions made are equitable, democratic, transparent and accountable. I want my research to be used by scholars, policy makers, politicians and communities to better understand the implications of the ways that urban infrastructure is delivered."
- Professor Matti Siemiatycki, Geography and Planning
"The health of 10 million Canadians is potentially being impacted by traffic-related air pollution. Through our studies of the chemistry, toxicity, and population exposure to vehicle emissions, we hope to reduce the adverse health effects of traffic congestion, making our cities more liveable."
- Professor Greg Evans, Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry

Several luxury hotels on the banks of the Nile River in central Cairo were forced to close after being surrounded by violent demonstrations and in one case, being broken into. Protests continued across Egypt nearly one week after the second anniversary of the Egyptian Revolution that overthrew former President Hosni Mubarak on January 25, 2011. Further protests are expected over the coming weekend to commemorate the first anniversary of the Port Said football massacre, when over 70 fans of the Cairo-based Al Ahly football club were killed in a violent post-match brawl between fans of the opposing teams inside the Port Said football stadium after a match between the Al Ahly and Al Masry football teams.

Proposed Virginia Religious Exemption Study Predictable
It wasn't a stretch to assume Virginia's religious exemption would pop up with some bill writing power in Richmond. For all the wrong reasons, Joshua Powell's widespread story caught attention from the right people. Delegate Rust's proposal comes in the form of a Joint Resolution requesting the Department of Education to study the religious exemption to compulsory school attendance.

Product Test: Spray on Lotion
We bought the Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizing Lotion at WalMart for $5.94.
Our tester, Christina was excited about this product. The commercial makes it look very easy. Just spray the product on and rub it in. Our tester found that the spray ended up all over. It went onto the floor and walls. That being said, it did make Christina's skin very soft and she liked it. She is giving the product one thumb up and one down.
Another down side is that it would be very easy to use the can very quickly.

FOR-SITE's Presidio Habitats is a unique year-long site-based exhibition that invited 25 artists and designers to propose custom-designed habitats for animals that lived or once lived in San Francisco's Presidio. The national park being an urban oasis with strange interweaving of natural and social histories (people have lived and worked on the grounds even after its designation as a national park in 1944), to my mind the show has two ostensible and very interesting audiences: animals who used to call the Presidio home, and us humans, who may or may not have been a factor in their leaving but are certainly playing a role in ongoing restoration efforts.
Eleven of the proposed pieces were actually realized and are now scattered throughout the park (although all 25 proposals are on display in the Exhibition Pavilion). The broad conceptual task of the artists being to propose custom-designed habitats for animals that live or once lived in the park, the results vary a great dea... More

so, I need a query that does this: get everything except null and empty values from a field and values which start certain way. Example of the values: everything NOT NULL and != '' and values which are like this 'test A 111', 'test B 222', 'test A 321'. I need the test A XXX, test B XXX values to get out from the query looking like this test A, test B (only one time). What I have so far:
$sql = "SELECT field";
$sql .= " FROM table";
$sql .= " WHERE field IS NOT NULL ";
$sql .= " AND field != '' ";
$sql .= " AND (src LIKE 'test A%' ";
$sql .= " OR src LIKE 'test B%') ";
But this will return only test A XXX and test B XXX values. I hope I explained it clear... Please help

Stop Stoning!
A massive global outcry stopped an Iranian woman, Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, from being stoned to death.
But Sakineh still faces hanging, and today, fifteen more people await execution by stoning -- people are buried up to their necks and large rocks are hurled at their heads.
Sakineh's brave children's international campaign shows that worldwide condemnation works. Let's turn this family's desperate appeal into a movement that ends stoning for good - sign the petition and send to everyone:
To Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the leaders of Iran
We call on you to finally put an end to capital punishment by stoning and to reverse the unjust judgment in the case of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani.

Francisco Santos says that compared to the Dominican Republic, Logan, Utah, is quiet. "In my home country there is music playing on every street corner," Francisco said. "Here, everything is just quieter."
The quiet is just one of a number of cultural differences faced by Francisco and a group of some 100 students who come each year from the Dominican Republic to USU on scholarships that are fully funded by their government.
USU started developing a relationship with the Dominican Republic in the 1980s, launching a variety of projects and research. This affiliation has grown into a yearly tradition of mixing cultures by sending around 100 of the best Dominican students to USU.
The program allows underserved, top students to study abroad. The students must meet all requirements of the country's ministry of higher education, and then the recommendations are sent to USU, where the final admittance decision is made.
Every year the Dominican Republic students celebrate their national independence at a USU event called Areito. The students host a native dinner and cultural presentations. That gives them a chance to share where they came from and to highlight some of the cultural differences between home and their new home-away-from-home.

ISLESBORO, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The storm that brought a lightning show to most of us Wednesday night, slammed into Islesboro. Trees were down all over the island, but the southern half was hit the hardest.
Islesboro Public Safety Director Fred Porter said that he was still trying to assess how many homes and cars were hit by trees. Crews worked overnight to clear the many cedars and other trees that fell down over on Main Road, West Bay Road, Ferry Road and other major ways through town. The entire island was without power at one point. By mid-afternoon Thursday, about half of the island's power was restored.
People who live or have houses on the island say they haven't seen damage like this in years. Mike Boucher takes care of the Weaver Estate, where two BMWs were smashed by a tree. He estimates about 100 trees came down on that property. Boucher said, "I remember years ago, we had an ice storm that was pretty horrific and it's been a long time since I've seen this much at this time of year."
Karen Hatch came to the island to check on property she rents, and discovered the wind had done a number on the place. "The power, the wind," she said. "We can't comprehend. Trees uprooted. I mean, these great big 40 foot cedar trees totally uprooted, like 10 of them."
One bright spot, according to Porter. No one has been injured.
