|In this segment, we'll look at new research into using inkjet technology to build artificial tissues. Writing in the journal Science, Paul Calvert describes efforts to convert the common home office technology of inkjet printing to manipulate living cells. Using printing technology is of interest to biomaterials researchers because it is a precise, simple, rapid and clean process that avoids contamination. Researchers have successfully printed bacteria, yeast and animal cells. What will it take to move from those studies to more complex tissue? Is it realistic to imagine 'printing' living tissue?

NEWPORT CENTER - Tom Emrich is a very well known photographer here in the Kingdom. For many years, his photos of schoolchildren, with their bright smiles, combed hair, and new clothes, were sent around the world at Christmas to grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. These photos today sit in cherished albums for the children's children to enjoy.
Tom also became very well known for his amazing scenic photography that captured the ever-changing beauty of his adopted home, Vermont.
But, after nearly 50 years and a small stroke in 2007, Tom has decided it is time to retire.
Born Ottomar Emrich in 1934, in the Black Forest area of southern Germany, Tom spent his formative years in Bad Homburg near Frankfurt. Tom had a brother and sister who have both died. His father, Dietmar, a German Officer, died in Russia during World War II. His mother, Kläre died in 1998.
Tom's parents were in the hotel/restaurant business in Bad Homburg, and his mother continued with the business after her husband died, until she retired. Tom noted that she was very good at it and had a successful life.
Tom's life has taken him to many places around the world. In 1956, he gave up his German life and emigrated to Canada, working various jobs for nearly four years. He traveled around to Edmonton, Vancouver, and Montreal. While in Montreal, he joined a group that went skiing in Jay Peak, Vermont, U.S.A.
While at Jay, he learned the skiing style "Natur Teknik," which was the lifelong craft of ski pro and Jay Peak promoter Walter Foeger. Tom was hired by Foeger to be an instructor.
With only a work permit, Tom had to return to either Canada or Germany for the summer months. It was this requirement that forced his decision to emigrate to the United States. He would spend his summer months in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania as a photographer. When he decided to make his living as a photographer, he moved to Vermont permanently, worked at Jay Peak, took stills and made movies. He also opened a small studio in Newport.
He married a young lady from Montgomery and built a home Jay. In due time, they were blessed with a daughter, Marie. Tom and Juna would have three other children: Laura in 1972, Matthew in 1985, and Andrew in 1988.
Jay Foto was located in various spots in Newport. In 1978, Tom rented part of the old M. H. Fishman store on Main Street. Village Pizza was to have the other half of the building but, just before the studio opened, around Christmas, the building burned to the ground one evening. The Emrich family was sleeping in the back of the studio and escaped with only the clothes on their backs.
In 2002, Tom and his family moved to Newport Center where they bought a home and converted the ground floor to a studio. This worked fine until 2007, when Tom suffered a stroke, which landed him in Fanny Allen Hospital for seven weeks. Recovery was slow and unfortunately not complete. Among other things, he can no longer drive. This means he can no longer travel to assignments.
With business steadily declining, Tom decided that it was time to retire and care for his health. His wife cares for him as well when she is not working at the school.
In August, Tom removed the sign from his front lawn, closed his studio, and packed up the contents.
One thing Tom is very proud of is the fact that in the mid-70s he was elected President of the Vermont Professional Photographers Association.
Tom now spends his time mowing his lawn (over two acres), caring for his four cats, one turtle, and his dog Bentley. That, his wife, children, and grandchildren are more than enough to take up his time.
Tom has had a remarkable career and we wish him well in his retirement, with all the happiness in the world.

JR, a 5-year-old Australian shepherd, scurried through a 20-foot-long tube, then leapt over a miniature high-jump bar Tuesday in front of an audience of fourth-graders at the Thompson Park pavilion in Watertown.
The demonstration by the intelligent canine trained to herd farm animals taught children that agriculture is about much more than farming, which is the goal of the agricultural extravaganza put on by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Jefferson County.
In addition, pupils from General Brown, Belleville Henderson, Alexandria and Thousand Islands central school districts learned how apples are pressed to make cider and maple syrup is tapped from trees; how to care for horses, sheep and poultry, and how worm compost bins are used to recycle kitchen scraps.
Karen E. Soule, a 4-H educator at the extension, taught children how to show dogs basic commands during her demonstration with the Australian shepherd.
They learn about the safety of dogs, how to pet them, how to act when a dog behaves strangely, and basic obedience skills to teach their own dogs, said Mrs. Soule, who has trained dogs for 19 years.
Students also learned how these dogs play an important role on farms by herding sheep and cattle. JR has been trained to herd sheep, she said, and has won awards in state competitions against other Australian shepherds. He also has experience managing a flock of about a dozen sheep at Mrs. Soules farm on County Route 72 in Henderson.
He helped me guide the herd into the barn, said Mrs. Soule, who managed the flock for two years on behalf of another farmer.
Tyler M. Hulec, 9, a fourth-grader who attends Megan J. Martins class at Alexandria Central School, enjoyed learning about how to care properly for a pony. He referred to the demonstration with Blitz, a 26-year-old pony gelding that made the trip from a Cape Vincent barn to be featured for students Tuesday.
The horseshoes are nailed on the end of hooves to avoid hurting horses feet, Tyler said.
Students also learned how a vacuum pump is used to draw sap from maple trees during a video presentation by Jamie N. Thibodeau, sugarmaker and ropes-course director at the Oswegatchie Educational Center in Croghan. The pump, linked to maple trees with a hose, helps generate a steady flow of sap as it travels down from the tree.
Trees will push syrup out at 30 pounds per square inch, and the vacuum adds about 20 inches of pressure, Mr. Thibodeau said. Maple syrup is big here in the region, and we want to show kids natural syrup is better than common store brands.
Mr. Thibodeau said the Oswegatchie Educational Center, owned by the New York FFA Leadership Training Foundation, conducts educational presentations for up to 400 students a year and hosts a summer camp.

Mets to first offer Wright deal to stay through 2020
Matthew Cerrone , Lead Writer
According to team insiders, the Mets will begin hard negotiations with David Wright by offering a deal that could keep him through 2020.
Jon Heyman of CBS Sports said yesterday that the Mets will start with a six-year, $100 million offer, which includes an option, similar to what was agreed upon between Ryan Zimmerman and the Nationals last winter.
I, too, think this is the template. However, it's worth noting that Zimmerman's new deal essentially starts in 2014, after his current deal ends, which is why some people consider it an eight-year, $126 million contract (also with an option).
Based on Heyman's reporting, along with what I'm hearing, it suggests the Mets intend to offer a six-year deal to start after next season, during which Wright will be paid the $16 million option that completes his current deal. So, the current option (2013) plus the new deal would mean (starting next season) Wright would be under contract for seven years (2013-2019) with another option for 2020.
Naturally, Wright's camp will ask for more. I'm told they intend to milk talks and draw things out until at least after the World Series, in hopes of reaching a better compromise at the last minute.
I'm guessing here, but (based on the team's rumored starting point, plus Wright's assumed counter) I bet the two sides end up haggling over that 2020 option, arguing whether it should be guaranteed. If it's guaranteed, the result will be almost identical to the eight-year, $126 million number associated with Zimmerman.
Nevertheless, as one person close to the situation told me last season, "This is not going to be handled like last year's negotiations with Jose Reyes."
Thankfully, it seems everyone in the organization wants Wright to return, they're not going to be far off, and all signs indicate he genuinely hopes to stay put and retire having played with one team. Of course, he's quite clear about also wanting to win a World Series and his camp will let that be known.
For what it's worth, if a deal can't be worked out, the Mets will become more serious about trading Wright this winter, as opposed to waiting for next summer. It's just a feeling I get, based on talks with people around the league. Why? He'd have more value now, given his stats from 2012, and because his new team would get him for a full season. Also, the Mets aren't winning or selling a ton of tickets these days with Wright, so it might be easier to get new talent now and start marketing it before they take the field in 2013.
That said, unlike with Reyes, I believe the Mets and Wright will eventually work things out… making trade talk a non-issue.

Reviews for Pork Tenderloin with Peach Honey Mustard
Sort By :
"This was outstanding! The pork was delicious and the sauce complimented it well. However, I was disappointed that the peach flavor didn't shine through more in the sauce. Next time I'll cut the mustard just a bit in hopes that the peach flavor will become more prominent."
"This is an amazing recipe...my husband didn't like the peach mustard on it, but loved the pork. The rest of the family LOVED the entire dish!"
"This is such a nice recipe.."
"I would definitely make this recipe again. No doubt. One of the best Tenderloin recipe I've ever tasted in my entire life. I definitely love pork and it's tender and juicy meat. There are many pork recipes out there that will surely leave your mouth asking for more. Recipes such as the one I saw at Gourmandia. Great sites. Thumbs up! :)"
"I tripled the dry ingredients and used it as a rub on (5) boneless pork chops. It had a kick to it, but the peach sauce really balanced it out - my husband and I loved it!"

Detailed Description:
Active vitamin D analogs have been the mainstay of treatment for patients on hemodialysis with mineral and bone disease (MBD) for the past decade. Intravenous calcitriol is an active vitamin D analog which is nearly identical to natural 1, 25 Vitamin D3. Calcitriol results from the hydroxylation of previtamin D3 in the liver and kidney. Paricalcitol, 19-nor-1 , 25-dihydroxyvitamin D2, is a newer agent vitamin D analog. This agent is believed to have an effect more specific to the parathyroid gland, and less specific to absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the gut. Although both formulations appear equally effective in suppressing parathyroid hormone (PTH), studies have suggested a greater calcemic effect with intravenous calcitriol as compared to paricalcitol (1). Due to this, paricalcitol is the predominant active vitamin D analog used in hemodialysis patients in the United States. Two recent changes in the management of hemodialysis patients will likely reduce the amount of active vitamin D analogs used in the near future: the liberalization of PTH goals according to international guidelines, (2) and the implementation of bundled payments for dialysis by Medicare. These changes challenge previous studies that have analyzed the safety and efficacy of these medications. The purpose of this prospective, randomized, cross-over study will be to determine whether calcitriol is as safe and effective as paricalcitol in the treatment of MBD in hemodialysis patients using the revised KDIGO parathyroid hormone targets. Our hypothesis is that calcitriol will be as equally safe and effective as paricalcitol in the treatment of MBD in hemodialysis patients.

With the fairly nice weather the last few days it may seem that winter is losing its grip on the area, but there is probably lots of winter still to go in eastern Utah.
Even if you did a pre-winter check on your vehicles, here are some things that you should do at the mid-winter point as well.
*Lubrication. Check oil levels and be sure they are correct. Few people check during the winter because it is so cold, so this break in the weater is a good time to do it.
*Check all the tires. The bad conditions of road surfaces (especially if you have driven I-15 through Utah County) and of course the snow and ice itself can cause serious damage to the vehicles tires. Look for cuts or slashes as well as for unusual wear.
*Inspect the steering. If you have been through a few potholes (again I-15) it can pay to check your steering to ensure everything is still correct and hanging together.
*Tighten hose connections on the engine. The constant temperartue changes can loosen connections.
*Inspect and adjust the fan belt. An engine works harder in cold conditions and fan belts takes a lot of the abuse. The last thing anyone wants is a broken fan belt overheating an engine when the temperature is 15 degrees outside.
*Clean and tighten battery terminals and cables. Batteries can be damaged by winter temperatures so give all connections a cleaning. If possible check the cells in the batteries as well.
*Check the engines coolant. Check it with the proper instruments so you know exactly what temperature it can protect your engine to. Just don't add some coolant and think that is enough. Know the numbers before it is too late.

Their favorite characters
3 photos | Posted 11/1/12
As part of a fun project, Sherman School second graders transformed pumpkins into their favorite children's' book characters with the help of friends and family … and lots of imagination. Displaying their character pumpkins in the front of the class of Christine Laramee are Alyssa Twomey and Matt Badway. And Jonathan Russo shows off Captain Underpants, his favorite. Asked if his father had a hand in the creation, Jonathan said, no, those are his pair of Hanes. (Warwick Beacon photos)

DiPinto has designed a model that straddles the line between classic American design and import oddities.
Matching tortoise pickguard and headstock ensemble, star inlays, and 4 DePinto single-coils scream fun. 5-way...
This guitar was designed to rock, and rock it does. The bridge pickup is actually two DiPinto single coils...
DiPinto Guitars is a perfect example of how dedication and forward thinking can bring you to center stage. Founded in 1995, DiPinto began as a repair shop in Philadelphia, but quickly expanded into a creative outlet for Chris DiPinto to bring his own guitar designs to artists. Today, DiPinto is still family-owned and continues to operate their retail location, while their incredibly distinctive guitars garner praise from musicians all over the world. What makes DiPinto guitars so noticeable? In a word, flair. Inspired by bold vintage designs, these guitars are loaded with metallic sparkle finishes, pearloid pickguards and headstocks and one-of-a-kind shapes and designs that stand out in a big way on the stage. When you want to make a big impression, picking up a DiPinto guitar is a great way to do it.
DiPinto's most popular model is probably the Mach IV. This guitar has been played by artists like Christoph Hahn of the Swans, Kyp of TV on the Radio and Jack White. DiPinto uses their own pickups in the Mach IV, wired to a selector switch that lets you change up the sound by switching between single-coil, humbucker, or both. This guitar definitely has the sound to back up its retro sports-car styling.
You'll know another of DiPinto's guitars, the Galaxie 4, if you've ever seen Los Straitjackets perform. These Nashville-based rockers are known for their flashy masks and equally flashy, matching Galaxie 4 guitars. You can get your own Los Straitjackets edition Galaxie 4 or go for a different color scheme - either way, you'll have an excellent guitar with four single-coil pickups creating a sound that's all its own.
Every one of these guitars is a real showcase of the passion that Chris DiPinto and his family have for making instruments that stand out in both style and sound. When you roll out on stage carrying a DiPinto guitar, the audience is sure to take notice - and when they hear it, you're sure to have fans for life.

West 8′s winning entry for the 'Guangzhou Huadi masterplan' capitalizes on the southern chinese history of horticultural fecundity to provide the city with a restorative and sustainable trajectory. As the delta land rapidly industrialized, land use scaled back the natural ecosystem of wetlands and created a scattered and severely polluted urban landscape. The proposal aims to create a balance between continuing urban development and zoned hydrology by rescaling land use and introducing 'ecological cleaning machines' along the canton axis, the historical gridline between Guagzhou and Fushan cities.
The tiered system includes a primary water collector, helped by a secondary mechanism with connectors and locks and a tertiary network of canals. Specific divisions between urban areas and horticultural lands are aimed at creating a more robust structure while preserving the major existing infrastructure. a central park will be bolstered by pockets of greenery and courtyards; a riverside bicycle lane will be implemented to encourage environmentally low-impact transportation. Known as 'flower city' the main metropolitan park is set to host the 'guangzhou international flora expo', an urban fair event yielding a flower show, a large greenhouse, and and architectural village comprised of both restored historical buildings and new hospitality development. This city within a city would also alleviate the displacement of resettled inhabitants from nearby villages into 'green open city block structures.' the masterplan posits that the area can be a world-class place of technological horticultural development, while creating an atmosphere that respects the makeup and movement of lingnan culture, itself distinct in its painting style, food, greenery and above all, a thousand-year fondness of botanic culture.

The Suter Science Campaign
- Contributions to the renovation of the Suter Science Center builds on EMU's long-standing excellence in the sciences. – President Loren Swartzendruber
EMU's Suter Science Center has served the university well for more than four decades, preparing thousands of alumni to serve and lead in the sciences. Today, we're poised to take the program into the future with renovation and expanded facilities to better meet the needs of students.
Designs for Phase II of the project are now available in a gallery of architectural renderings.
On December 31, 2013, thanks to the momentum and broad participation of 460 alumni, donors and foundations, the $7 million fundraising goal for the Suter labs renovation was exceeded, totaling $7,581,811.
Even as lab renovations are underway, additional planning is underway to address similar HVAC and other infrastructure needs in the western wing of Suter Science Center. The estimated cost of Suter's west wing renovation is $3.3 million with over $1,070,000 of funding already committed by generous alumni and donors.
A one of a kind program
The holistic approach of EMU's one-of-a-kind science program reflects EMU's values – combining high-tech, hands-on learning in a liberal arts environment with Mennonite values of sustainability, social justice, and service. The result: ethical, well-trained, globally-minded graduates who make a real difference in their respective fields.
Here's the problem: The quality of EMU's facilities does not reflect the exemplary faculty and the academic rigor of the programs offered. An upgraded Suter Science Center will allow EMU science programs to keep pace with technology, research and growing trends in various scientific fields.
How you can help
Support the campaign by making a gift or getting involved. With improved classrooms and research labs, advanced technology, and the ability to expand programs and develop new fields of study, this renovated center positions EMU to address global healthcare and environmental challenges.
We celebrate the continued collaboration of EMU faculty, staff, alumni, donors and the broader community to prepare outstanding science graduates to serve and lead locally, regionally and around the world.
To discuss a gift to the Science Campaign or to address any questions or comments, contact: Kirk L. Shisler, Vice President for Advancement, at or 540-432-4499.

A woman holds a sign reading 'Turkey, the beautiful rebel' as she... News PhotoAdult,Conflict,Continuity,Demonstration,France,Holding,Horizontal,Injured,Paris - France,Participant,People,Sign,WomenPhotographer AFPCollection: AFP 2013 AFPA woman holds a sign reading 'Turkey, the beautiful rebel' as she takes part in a protest in support of people wounded in ongoing demonstrations in Turkey, on June 4, 2013, in Paris. Meanwhile protests continued in Turkey against the ruling party, police brutality, and the destruction of Taksim park in Istanbul for the sake of a development project. Turkey's Islamic-rooted government apologised today to wounded protestors and said it had 'learnt its lesson' after days of mass street demonstrations that have posed the biggest challenge to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's decade in office. What started as an outcry against a local development project has snowballed into widespread anger against what critics say is the government's increasingly conservative and authoritarian agenda.

99% of the cast.
Using Shirley as a plot device to tie up the loose end of the Geass cult was sloppy writing, using Rolo was another plot device as to make sense of Lelouch's escape was unnecessary even if some of the fans demanded it.
But the most unnecessary death had to be Lelouch. Why did they set him up? so they could him a martyrdom, something meaningful. It backfired as the zero Requiem was a juxtaposition of what they wanted. It was nonsensical because it was a flimsy peace at best, and it relied on people that formerly betrayed him to keep the peace.
He wanted to die, and honestly I don't see how he wanted to die. It would've been in character for him to pass the despair event horizon and come to the conclusion he had to create a world Nunnally would be proud of, not run Britannia into the ground, ruin million of lives, and set himself up as a despicable man. Taniguchi swears it was his pride that was his downfall. No, his downfall was particularly rushed writing. You know you could've went back on your words and made a third season, right? Without killing Shirley, Rolo, or Lelouch. And if it did and absolutely had to involve them dying, you could've made it in a much more.... believable manner.
Most Necessary: Lelouch's death. Lelouch tards are even worse than Narutards
Least Necessary: Shirley's
Lelouch should have died in episode 22 but lelouch tards trolol them to kill Euphemia instead
Everyone talks about narutards and brolytards but what about lelouch tards?
Everyone of the character's deaths were all neccesary. Lelouch wanted to die so he could atone for the sins he committed. Shirley died so that Lelouch could gain hatred for Rolo and also start his plan to go after the order. Euphemia's death was mentioned in R2 so much, and it was Suzaku's driving force. It also showed Lelouch's descent into evil, how he was prepared to do what he needed to do in order for peace. Those three seem to be the most disputed deaths, but if you look at it, the show was written beautifully and any other way would mess up the flow and how Lelouch's character was developed, as well as Suzaku's and many others.
"What is up with you and your fetish for Euphemia? I accept the fact that she was indeed the only character in the whole show with the most simple and peaceful solution to all the problems. But, Lelouch killed her, and that is how the producers decided the show will go."
Euphemia was not just the most good person in the show, she was the only person in the show good enough to be liked by me. She was the only person ever shown to be good enough to not be evil. And the producers did not bother to replace her with any other characters who were good enough to not be evil. After her death the show became a pointless and meaningless struggle between different groups of evil characters.
"The biggest reason why I find all of your arguments completely invalid is that you didn't finish the series. Lelouch clearly regrets and feels remorse at Euphemia's tragedy. If you fail to find any reason for Lelouch's action, then think of it as just that: a bad decision. Lelouch, despite being a genius, is not perfect. He also has emotions. You claim Lelouch has no desire to do any good. That is wrong. In the end, he does the greatest good of all. The means with which he achieved it were evil, the giant irony that envelops the whole show. "
I don't have to watch the second season for my arguments to be valid. In episode 23 I saw Lelouch express slight regret for his totally senseless murder of Euphemia. So what? In Oliver Twist one of the main characters murders another main character. And most of the next chapter shows the murderer falling to peaces and wandering around aimlessly, haunted by visions of the crime. This character has much greater remorse than Lelouch. But that does not make the character any less guilty of a terrible and needless murder.
Many real life killers have reportedly been haunted by guilt and remorse over their crimes. In 1950 a unit of the Seventh US Cavalry at No Gun Ri under Captain Melbourne Chandler allegedly shot a lot of Korean refugees for fear that North Korean infiltrators might be among them. The author of one website discussing that incident claims that after leaving the army Chandler drank himself to death, and certainly many men have done so after such incidents. But that does not reduce their guilt for any crimes which they may have committed.
I say that if Lelouch had a desire to do whatever good he could do, and to avoid doing totally unnecessary and senseless acts of evil, he would never have killed Euphemia so pointlessly and needlessly. Thus I find it hard to believe that he had ANY desire at all to do good, despite the fact that it is scientifically almost impossible for a human to not have at least a tiny little desire to do good. So despite my slightly exaggerated claims I have to admit that Lelouch probably had about as much (or little) desire to do good as Genghis Khan, or Hitler, or Tamerlane, or Stalin, or Chairman Mao, who between them needlessly murdered about fifty to one hundred million helpless victims, not counting tens of millions of other deaths they caused which don't qualify as murders.
And by the good you claim that Lelouch did I suppose you mean that by making himself so hated he brought peace and good feeling to the world. But such a peace would last just a short time since Lelouch permitted the underlying cause of war, independent national governments, to continue. So this was all part of a scam to get as big a reputation as possible by having one identity, Evil Emperor Lelouch, be known as the most evil and bad ass teenage tyrant in history, and his other identity, Zero the hero, the brave and noble freedom fighter and rebel, get the credit for a brief period of peace and the slaying of the Evil Emperor Lelouch.
And how did Lelouch get the Evil Emperor Lelouch so hated that it might have caused a few months of peace? I have read that Lelouch never learned how to go on TV and geass command everyone in the world to obey him, so he must have used ordinary methods to make Evil Emperor Lelouch hated by everyone.
There were not even brief periods of peace caused by joy at the deaths of Genghis Khan, Tamerlane, Hitler, Stalin, or Mao, so I can only guess that Lelouch must have murdered tens or hundreds of times as many people as any of them to get Evil Emperor Lelouch hated universally.
everyone that says euphemia's death was necessary is a lelouch wanker
and if euphemia killed lelouch, there will be no retards that think lelouch can beat goku
You do remember Lelouch accidentaly cast the geass on Euphy. He said he was going to work with her on the Zone thing. He had to kill her after he cast it because she killed so many japanese people. I think you're missing the point that it was an accident.
if euphemia killed lelouch, the world would be better

there will be less lelouch fantards
well you see, it kinda gets annoying when lelouch retards say stuff like:
1) lelouch can solo dbz
2) lelouch is physically stronger than euphemia
3) lelouch can beat goku
4) lelouch can control the world
Lelouch did control the world, and I don't care for comparing it to DBZ, two different animes

For most system errors, MySQL displays, in addition to an internal text message, the system error code in one of the following styles:
message ... (errno: #) message ... (Errcode: #)
You can find out what the error code means by examining the documentation for your system or by using the perror utility.
perror prints a description for a system error code or for a storage engine (table handler) error code.
Invoke perror like this:
perror [
errorcode ...
perror 13 64
OS error code 13: Permission denied
OS error code 64: Machine is not on the network
To obtain the error message for a MySQL Cluster error code,
invoke perror with the
--ndb option:
perror --ndb
The meaning of system error messages may be dependent on your operating system. A given error code may mean different things on different operating systems.
perror supports the following options.
Display a help message and exit.
Print the error message for a MySQL Cluster error code.
Silent mode. Print only the error message.
Verbose mode. Print error code and message. This is the default behavior.
Display version information and exit.

Regarding list of MySQL errors.
If you use unix, you can generate the list with the command:
perror `seq a b`
where a is the first error code and b is the last error code you want to list.
For example,
perror `seq 0 10`
shows codes 0 through 10.

In Windows you will find perror in 'mysql\bin'
from the command line in this directory run the program with your error code;
perror.exe 2
This will return the results;
Error Code 2: No such file or directory

To generate an error list if you don't have the seq command on your system, and you do have perl:
perror `perl -e "print join ' ',1..100"`
Where 1 is the first error number, and 100 is the last error number you want to see (similar to seq).

Save Money Monday: Sign Up For Customer Rewards Programs!
Free Customer Rewards/Loyalty Programs are now being offered by many different types of businesses. If you are a frequent shopper, or if you think there is any chance you will be returning to the establishment in the future, then it is worth the few minutes it takes to sign up for a Free Customer Rewards/Loyalty Program. This week's Save Money Monday post from Dottie Hobbs at PennySaverUSA.com will explain all the advantages of signing up for these Customer Rewards/Loyalty programs.
First off, what is a Customer Rewards/Loyalty Program?
- It gives consumers what they want, the incentive to frequent a business.
- It also gives merchants what they need, profitable customers who keep coming back.
The practice is common among book and music retailers, and ranges from large chains to independent retailers. In some instances, the customer purchases the card and receives a percentage discount on all purchases for a period of time (often one year), while in other instances, a customer receives a one-time percentage discount upon reaching a specified purchase level. (For example, a bookseller's loyalty card program might provide a customer with a 10% off coupon once the customer has spent $200 at the bookseller.) Major retailers Best Buy and Sears offer loyalty programs that offer points redeemable for dollar-amount discounts after accumulating a set number of points along with other discounts from time to time. Independent hardware stores such as Ace Hardware and True Value added customer loyalty programs in order to compete more effectively against larger chains.
Three easy steps to help you save money when you use a Customer Rewards/Loyalty Program:
- Sign up for any free business rewards program offered to you.
Even if you are a rare customer, having a rewards card for the business will eventually net you some coupons, discounts and maybe even freebies.
- Create a Gmail address just for your customer reward programs.
It is very important to be cautious about giving out your personal information, and if you want, you can always make up an email address. In most cases the programs benefits are "virtual" meaning they do not require contact with your identity.
- Check that Gmail account for coupons and offers when you are ready to shop/or purchase a service.
If the thought of keeping track of all these cards or bulking up the size of your wallet is overwhelming, then try using justoneclubcard.com to cut down the size of your wallet by up to 87% by literally combining up to eight rewards cards onto a single card.
Customer Advantages:
Some personal examples of rewards programs are the local fast food frequent buyers card. After five lunch entree purchases get $1.00 off the next one and after ten lunch entree purchases get one free. The local car wash has a frequent wash card, after eight get the ninth free, (I love that one!) After spending $100.00 at a local department store, either spent all at once or a combined total, I have been emailed a $10.00 reward coupon good toward anything I purchase on my next visit. Movie theaters often offer a free popcorn or drink after so many movie tickets are purchases. These are just a few examples of what you can save/receive if you ask for a free customer card or sign up with the rewards program. Sometimes you are given a bonus at the time you sign up, 10% off your immediate purchase, or a free gift.
Business Advantages:

- How to Read a Study Record
Many school children in Ethiopia and their mothers are known to be iodine deficient. Prevalence in the Amhara region is around 29%. Micronutrient Initiative, a development organization based in Ottawa, plans to help iodize the salt by providing iodization machines and iodine to the salt producers in Lake Afdira where salt is produced and distributed to the population of Ethiopia. Although it is generally assumed that iodine is important for cognitive development, very few studies examining the effects of iodized salt have been conducted. Studies using a single dose of iodine capsules with children 6 to 12 years showed mixed outcomes with approximately 25% yielding positive outcomes for the intervention children. Sixty districts in Amhara will be randomly selected and randomly assigned so that half receive early delivery of iodized salt. Approximately 6200 mothers and their children 6-, 18-, or 60-months old will be recruited from 1-2 villages in each of the 60 districts, with the help of government-paid Health Extension Workers, for a 12-mo longitudinal study starting in May 2011, prior to the introduction of iodized salt. These same mothers and children will be visited 12 months later for repeated measures. Measures include nutritional status such as height and hemoglobin, along with iodine sufficiency (e.g., goitre, urinary iodine, thyroglobulin), and child development (Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development III, Wechsler Preschool and Primary School Intelligence test for older children). Comparisons will be made within and between groups to determine whether iodized salt has an effect on children's mental development.

|Assigned Interventions
No Intervention: Comparison group
This arm will use the salt that is on the open market, which is primarily non-iodized salt. Iodized salt may enter in these communities through the normal trade route. No active interference with salt trade will occur in these communities.
Experimental: Early delivery of iodized salt
Iodized salt that is produced nationally for the open market (which meets only about 10% of national needs) will be directed to these communities through the normal trade system or by direct delivery to the communities.
Other: Iodized salt
salt for human consumption is fortified at the national level with iodine. The experimental group will receive iodized salt early. the comparison group will receive it by market forces. presently there is only enough iodized salt to meet 10% of the countries needs, and is targeted mainly to urban areas.

VIDEO> Behind The Scenes with Barris Kustom
As the reach of our automotive website continues to expand, the MotorMavens Crew and I have been fortunate enough to attract tons of new and exciting opportunities – they seem to just fall into our laps! You can only imagine how shocked I was when I received an email from the good people at SPEED Channel, saying "we'd love to chat with you."
As the biggest cable network with automotive programming, SPEED is obviously huge – I've been watching various forms of racing on SPEED Channel for years. I had no idea that they were even aware of MotorMavens! I was definitely excited to speak to them on the phone.
Although SPEED Channel is headquartered in Charlotte NC, they are constantly filming shows in Southern California. During our phone call, I discovered that they were actually filming their newest TV program, Car Warriors, only 10 minutes away from where I live! They suggested that we come out and visit, so I invited our lovely Motormavenette Samantha Totem to come out and spend the day hanging out on set with me while they were filming – cool! When the cameras stopped rolling, the very first person we were introduced to was none other than George Barris.
Even if you're too young to recognize the name 'George Barris,' you've undoubtedly seen the cars he has created. As the automotive legend behind Barris Kustom Industries in North Hollywood, George Barris has created some of the most iconic cars in movie and television history – the original Batmobile from the Batman TV show with Adam West and Burt Ward; the General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard; KITT from Knight Rider; the original A-Team van; the DeLorean time machine from Back To The Future; the Munsters hot rod; and many many more.
As we got ourselves acquainted in between filming, Mr Barris invited us to visit him at his shop, which is like a museum of famous movie cars, toys, and Hollywood memorabilia. How could we pass that up?! (more…)

Islanders select D Griffin Reinhart with fourth overall pick
Click here to read IPB's exclusive interview with Griffin Reinhart from March.
For the first time since drafting Slovakian defensemen Branislav Mezei with the 10th overall pick in the 1999 NHL Draft, the New York Islanders have decided to address a glaring need on its blue line with its latest top-10 overall pick.
On Friday evening in Pittsburgh, the Islanders selected Edmonton (WHL) defenseman Griffin Reinhart with the fourth overall pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. The 6-foot-4, 207-pound Reinhart led all Oil Kings defensemen in goals with 12. In 58 regular season games, Reinhart registered 36 points – 12 goals and 24 assists – as he helped the Oil Kings capture the Ed Chynoweth Cup, awarded to the playoff champion of the Western Hockey League.
Reinhart, who turned 18 back on January 24, added eight points – two goals and six assists – in the Oil Kings' 20 postseason games.
The West Vancouver-native also has a hockey pedigree. Father Paul Reinhart, a defenseman, played 12 seasons (1979-90) with the Vancouver Canucks and both the Atlanta and Calgary Flames. Brothers Max – a third round pick by Calgary back in 2010 – and Sam – an expected top-five selection in the 2014 NHL Draft – both played this past season for Kootenay in the Western Hockey League. Both Max and Sam are forwards.
Reinhart, who models his game after Norris Trophy finalist Shea Weber of the Nashville Predators, possesses a high hockey IQ based on his bloodlines. He is a very good skater, and has tremendous agility for his size. Many scouts believe that when fully developed, Reinhart has a chance to have a major impact on the NHL level.

The Last Queen by C.W. Gortner
Juana, daughter of Queen Isabel & King Ferdinand of Spain was raised to be a pawn. She was betrothed as a toddler to Philip of Flanders, heir to the Hapsburg throne, to improve political alliances with Spain.
At 16 she was sent with her attendants to Flanders, to marry Philip. She did not want to go but knew it was her duty. Once she met Philip and saw how handsome he was, she fell in love with him. Their first years together were romantic and happy one's. Juana had a daughter and then a son, which made Philip very happy.
Juana was given an education, as a child she was raised to be a good wife and to gently persuade her husband to agree with Spain on issues that may arise. However, after a few year of wedded bliss, Juana's brother and the sister and nephew died. She was next in succession to the Spanish throne.
Though she was not raised to be Queen, she knew it was her duty. However, this created a power struggle with her husband. She also had to struggle with other men of power to take her rightful place as Queen.
This is an enthralling story of greed, lust, power, loyalty, and friendship. C.W. Gorther keeps the story going in perfect pitch! His vivid re-telling of the last Queen of Spain is quite believable and you can tell he really did his research to keep historical facts accurate.
I could not put this book down and it kept me up into the wee hours of the morning. I highly recommend this wonderful book. If you love historical fiction, you must read this book!
This trailer For The Last Queen is really good. There is some good backround information. Check it out:

The new Unlocked Sony Ericsson U8a Vivaz Pro, a device for NextG is a phone that has not received a lot of attention from the mobile community, which is a bit surprising given the quality of the phone. The non-Pro version of the phone was a standalone touchscreen and the Pro gives users an upgrade to a QWERTY keyboard which should help in business situations. The QWERTY keyboard will allow users to more quickly communicate using the device and will speed up the social networking process.
The Unlocked Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro, much like the previous versions of the phone wills till allow users to broadcast HD video, which was a huge selling point when the device was originally released. Users will also be able to download apps through the PlayNow marketplace as well as the Symbian Developer Community, which has grown quite a bit since the first version of the device was released.
The shape of the device has also changed for the pro release, making it easier to comfortably hold. The shape of the phone is now specifically molded to the shape of the human hand so that it fits comfortably in the hand when you are speaking on the phone.
The Vivaz Pro has a 3.2 inch touch screen that is completely scratch resistant and also features a 16:9 nHD touchscreen display screen. Along with the keyboard, the phone also provides users with a 5.1 megapixel camera that comes complete with up to 4x zoom and autofocus to ensure that you capture the best pictures possible. At only 117 grams in weight, the Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro is a light weight phone that is very phone and fits comfortably int he pocket of jeans and other casual-wear. With the U8a Vivaz Pro unlocked being Next G compatible, it is a phone that should stand the test of time and make for a solid investment for anyone who enjoyed the original version of the phone but are looking for a more professional option.
PureMobile carries a wide range of cell phone accessories and unlocked cell phones such as Nokia N8, BlackBerry Torch 9800, etc..
