My son is 12 years old. After repeatidly asking his teacher to go to the rest room for 2 hours.,He was denied. He ended up having a bad stomach virus and was afraid to leave the room, thought he would get in trouble.Well it happened and he couldn't hold it anymore . He is such a good kid and he wants to move away now .My husband and I are devastated that this happened to him at school. I cry everytime I look in his eyes and can feel his pain. Parents are calling us that heard about it saying this was criminal.We should sue . We should call the newspaper . Do anything so another child will not have to go through this. Kids can be so mean and hurtful. I was wondering if anyone had any advice.

There are exotic indulgences in the realms of spiritual pleasure and well-being to be shared in luxurious, otherworldly settings. And there are opportunities to explore the mysterious depths which can be seen as a symbolic journey to each other's hearts.

Some people are constantly on the lookout for an adrenaline rush, with a hint of danger and boatloads of excitement.
Virtually every couple that enjoys what is considered a successful relationships share a priceless gift of communication and understanding.
On any trip to Thailand, no matter what part of the year or time of day, you will see couples sitting side by side, eyes half closed, without a care in the world, enjoying a blissful (and inexpensive) foot massage at the hands of an expert masseuse.

Giro Savant Road HelmetThe Savant bike helmet is a pure blend of race-bred style and unmatched value. The lightweight and durable In-Mold shell, the impressive airflow of 25 Wind Tunnel vents, and the adjustable retention of the Roc Loc 5 pave the way riders who want serious performance and competitive looks without the high price tag.
- In-Mold construction reinforces the area around the vents and ribs, creating a one-piece exoskeleton, which allows the helmet to be lighter, more durable and better ventilated than traditional designs
- 25 Wind Tunnel vents with internal channels thrust cool, fresh air over and around your head while forcing heat and stale air out
- Quite possibly the best-fitting retention system you've ever experienced, the Roc Loc 5 easily adjusts both fit tension and vertical position with a single hand, plus it's 40% lighter than its popular predecessor, Roc Loc 4
- Certified CPSC
- Suggested Use: Enthusiast Road, Triathlon, Touring, Urban/Commute, Cruiser/Casual

Ray Kosby is one of the most creative close-up magicians you will see. He comes up with original and often offbeat effects and his methods are just as wild. The strength behind his magic is that his routines will fool you. Audiences gasp at his effects -- when they are not speechless all they can say is, WOW! Try to figure out how he accomplishes the routines on this program without watching the explanations -- he will absolutely fool you -- you will have no clue as to how Ray accomplishes these impossibilities.
Routines performed and explained:
Silver and Bone:
A two phase routine which starts with a coin visually penetrating through your hand and concluding with a visual transposition between a half dollar and a jumbo coin.
Sidewinder Pretzel:
An ordinary pretzel stick is bent at right angles and then twisted into the standard pretzel design.
Rubber Nightmare:
A large rubber band is split into three equal sized bands and then the three bands are shown to be of different lengths -- a small, medium and large. The professor's Nightmare with rubber bands?
Square One:
A startling coin assembly with no covers where the coins assemble to one spot on the table and instantly jump back to the four corners.
The Bite:
Ray's trademark routine where he takes a bite out of a red apple and a moment later he is seen holding a green apple with the same bite missing. No switches and no sleight-of-hand used.
Twixt the Threads:
A coin penetrates through the center of a handkerchief.
A ball visually penetrates through the center of a clear plastic bag.
The Picnic Trick:
A can of soda is popped open so the liquid splashes. You rub the opening of the can and it heals itself so it is as good as new.
1 2 3 4:
Four sponge cubes are produced and placed in your fist. The fist is opened to show a giant number "4" made out of sponge. The "4" is then ripped into four separate cubes.
The methods are all straight forward and vary in difficulty from self-working to difficult. You will love the magic on this tape. Truly something for everyone.
Running time: Approximately 60 minutes.
Special DVD Features:
Sleightly Retouched performance and pdf instructions
Short Hop performance and pdf instructions
Instant access to performances and explanations
DVD trailers
Dolby Digital sound
Encoded for worldwide viewing

The CrockPot as a Foot Bath
Day 217.
I ran a half-marathon yesterday. 13.1 miles. All by myself. Well, myself and 20 thousand people.
I had a huge writing project due June 1, and instead of being happy that it was done and over with, I found myself in a funk. I didn't have anything to work towards, and was feeling antsy. Our friends Carol and Joey are long-distance runners, and they were going to run the San Francisco marathon---Carol the half, and Joey the full. Adam signed up--and without thinking twice I told him to sign me up too.
Except for that I have never really run. And Adam has. Lots.
and lots.
Being a die-hard optimist, I figured I could do it.
So I did.
We met Regan for a pasta feed and I got a good night's sleep and powered through.
I'm pretty sure that they were picking up the cones right behind me and sweeping up the Cytomax dixie cups, but I still did it.
And I'm so very glad it's over.
The Ingredients.
--a finished long run
--bubble bath (and yes, Disney Vapor Bath is the only bubble bath in our house...)
The Directions.
Make margarita.
Fill crockpot with nice warm water from the tap and some bubble bath.
Agitate water with your hand to make bubbles.
Convince the kids that this is for mommy and mommy only, and to go play outside. Or in the garage. Or in the playroom. Just stay away from mommy.
Plug in crockpot with an extension cord right in front of the TV.
Turn to warm.
Drink margarita.
The Verdict.
Adam: Hey Steph? Did you only run a half-marathon so you could soak your feet in a crockpot and post it on the Internet?
Steph: Yes. I absolutely did.
DISCLAIMER: psst. don't do this. you could get burnt. or electrocuted. or something really bad.
don't do this.
that is all.

Well... we won't be making THIS for supper! :)
Congratulations! The most running I've done in the last oh, 10 years is to the store and back (ok, not running..driving..whatever)
I'm going to keep this in mind, some days at work are very long.. I wonder if my daughter (or hubby) will let me cook in my crock after they see me "relaxing" in it?

That's the best recipe I've ever seen! Congrats on the marathon!
- August 4, 2008 at 5:11 AM
The price of a pair of running shoes...$100.
The price of registration for the 1/2 marathon....$15
One crockpot foot soak... priceless.
Awesome job. Your best post yet.

If there's an award for best use of a crockpot, this should win!

- Shawn said...
Genius! I just did this myself with one of those fancier versions and was thinking how it's a waste of space and plastic. This is a great idea. Think I'll sell my foot bath on Craiglist now. : )

- Kristen M. said...
Congratulations. I ran a half marathon last year...I wish I had thought of this. A genius idea.
- August 4, 2008 at 6:02 AM
- Debi said...
This is priceless and although I don't foresee me running even a tenth marathon the soak and margarita certainly do it for me. I would have to do it in private, I think it would freak my family out to know they are eating out of something I soaked my feet in just the day before, LOL. Great idea!!

I got the biggest laugh from your post! Good job girl!

Congrats on your marathon. That is awesome!
Great out of the box thinking with the crock pot. When I was in labor I used our crockpot to warm oil and towels. :) See there's infinite uses for a crockpot!! :)

Good idea for a spare crockpot. I hope you're not cooking in that crockpot. Ick! I have the opposite of a foot fetish, if I didn't need my feet I'd have them removed and run around on stumps. Feet are soooo nasty!

I never knew half marathons were so long!!! Bravo, my friend! You should really be proud of yourself. That takes a lot of endurance. The foot soak must've felt like heaven.

That is AWESOME!
I'm training for a 10k, so a HM totally gets my admiration :)

I thought that the crayons in the crock was good, but this newest use tops them all!
And you deserve it, wow!

Hey! Welcome to the 13.1 Club... Next stop 26.2? I've done both and I have to say, I'm envious that I didn't have your idea - that would have felt great! Especially after the 26.2!

LMAO Great job on the half marathon.

Too, too funny! I have done 5 and 10K, would love to work up to 1/2 marathon! Kudos to you!

To paraphrase an Arrested Development line -- "You can make soup with that!"

I have a foot spa but it never seems to get warm enough. I think using the crock pot is a wonderful idea and I'm going to use it instead of my foot bath next time! Thanks for the laugh!
- August 4, 2008 at 8:10 AM
- Lori4squaremom said...
Oh I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! And congrats on finishing the half marathon! That is awesome and a great accomplishment. And I have a feeling, if you were running the SF Marathon that you may possibly not live "too far" from me.
I LOVE this idea! And will need to make sure I bleach the crockpot afterwards :)
Oh! What was your time on the half-marathon?

Haha. Your creativity never ends!!
- August 4, 2008 at 8:55 AM

- Amiyrah said...
LMAO! I laughed and said "ewww" at the same time. Feet are just not my thing but this was such a funny idea. Hopefully, that's your "foot soak only" crockpot lol.
- August 4, 2008 at 9:20 AM
- maltagirl said...
you rock ! There is no way I could ever run a marathon. you must be so proud of yourself. I so get what you mean about the let down afterwards. It always takes me about a week of casting about to find the next big project. The foot bath in the crock pot is hysterical!
keep it up mama

Hmmm, wonder if I could give myself a facial with the crockpot steam?

- Jen T. said...
That is the funniest thing I've seen in awhile...thanks for the laugh!
I'm training for a half in September, then a full in January in Disney. Think they'll let me take me CP on the plane?
P.S. What half is Ginger running that is only $15 to register? I need to sign up for that one, lol...I just dropped $65 for Philly.
- August 4, 2008 at 11:30 AM
- Amie said...
LOL! and good for you! I'm proud of you! I can't run 1/2 a MILE with out stopping, so I seriously have to hand it to marathoners!

I hope you don't get sick. Andy usually runs 3 or 4 miles, but the time he ran 14 miles with his friend, he ended up with a fever and chills for 2 days.

Congratulations! You deserve this soak and the accompanying margarita.
- August 4, 2008 at 2:32 PM
Congratulations, Stephanie!! That's a huge accomplishment! I became a runner this year and ran my first 5K in March. That day, I was so psyched that I set my sights on half marathons... but yeah, I only thought about it that day. I think I'm just fine sticking to the 5ks! :)
- August 4, 2008 at 3:20 PM
Too Funny!!! =] I don't even run - do I still qualify for foot soaking?

Tonight we tried your Company's Coming Potatoes Augratin, except that I didn't add the parsnips or the cream or the cheese. And I cut the recipe in half. And I added carrots.
Anyway, it was based off your recipe, and it was yummy! Thanks for this blog, and for inspiring us to use our slow cookers more and try new things! You're awesome!

I have a slow cooker that the glass lid broke. I could not find a replacement anywhere. I am glad I kept it anyway, because we have been using it for a foot bath for a while now. Makes a great foot bath, actually stays warm enough to feel good. Most actual foot baths we have bought cool down very quickly and don't stay comfortably warm.

NICHOLVILLE – Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, stopped at the headquarters of Nicholville Telephone Co. on Friday to survey the progress of a massive broadband Internet construction project financed largely through federal stimulus money.
This is one of those infrastructure pieces that we have to have if we are going to have economic development in the north country, said Mr. Owens.
Using roughly $33 million in stimulus money awarded in 2010 through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Slic Network Solutions, a subsidiary of Nicholville Telephone Co., has placed 800 miles of fiber-optic cables throughout the north country.
Were very close to being done, Philip J. Wagschal, president of SLIC, said.
Mr. Wagschal said construction on the project is expected to be completed by March. Services allowing customers to access high-definition television should be completed by June.
The stimulus money saw the 110-year-old company increase its coverage substantially.
Before 2010, Mr. Wagschal said, SLIC served roughly 1,500 people. The current construction project has allowed the company to add an additional 2,000 customers to the network.
Despite the low population density in many regions Slic provides coverage for, Mr. Wagschal said, their business model is sustainable.
If you look at the model with stimulus money to cover the cost of building there is a strong [return on investment], Mr. Wagschal said. Were profitable.
Mr. Wagschal added that the next step is for the company to invest more of its own money in projects further expanding coverage.
Mr. Owens said the increased broadband coverage could provide substantial economic benefits to the region.
Itll attract some of our friends in Canada to come do business here, he said.
The increased coverage also adds value for summer residents who may be able to spend more time in the area now that they have the ability to work remotely using the Internet.
Mr. Owens said he wants to facilitate industry networking and stressed the importance of industry leaders like those at SLIC sitting down with local officials and chamber of commerce representatives who know their region.

|Mobile Meth Lab Found; Two Arrests
|Written by WCSO Press Release
|Tuesday, 11 January 2011 12:54
On January 8th, 2011, officers with the Watauga County Sheriff's Office discovered a clandestine methamphetamine laboratory inside a vehicle during a routine traffic stop.
A Deputy with the Watauga County Sheriff's Office noticed a vehicle driving carelessly around 10:00 pm Saturday night in the Zionsville, NC community. When the vehicle was stopped by the Deputy it was discovered that the driver didn't have a driver's license and the passenger had a warrant for his arrest in Ashe County, NC.
Both individuals were arrested and a K-9 officer deployed his dog around the vehicle and the dog alerted to narcotics. When officers searched the vehicle they found methamphetamine as well as chemicals consistent with the manufacture of methamphetamine.
Officers from the Watauga County Sheriff's Office Special Operations Unit responded and confirmed the presence of precursor chemicals. The NC SBI Clandestine Laboratory Response Team was contacted and responded the next day. A search warrant was acquired and agents and officers dismantled and cleaned up the precursor chemicals and a contract agent for the United States Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration disposed of the waste.
Charged in connection with clandestine methamphetamine laboratory were Jason Morisette, 31, of 189 Glade rd. Boone, NC and Michael Peterson, 19, of 1026 Rainbow rd. Mtn. City, TN. Both individuals were charged with possession of precursor chemicals with intent to manufacture methamphetamine. The investigation is ongoing and more arrests are expected.
Information supplied by one of the responding SBI agents from the NC SBI states this is the fifth clandestine laboratory response in the state of NC, thus far for 2011.
This is the first response for Watauga County, who led the state in Clandestine Laboratory responses last year (2010).

We at Pure Mobile love Halloween almost as much as we love mobile devices. And when the two come together, it's a high-tech house of horrors that we just can't resist.
If you're anything like us, you'll want to celebrate the scariest (and probably most fun) holiday of the year in all sorts of ways, and thanks to some creepy smartphone apps, you can take your Halloween spirit with you everywhere you go.
As Halloween quickly approaches, we at Pure Mobile are delighting in finding all the best iPhone, Android and BlackBerry apps for our frightening feature "Macabre goes Mobile."
Today's all about eerie iPhone apps, but Android and BlackBerry users can expect their own list of apps for those platforms in later instalments.
1: Free Halloween Sounds Pro for iPhone
Once upon a time, when you wanted creepy Halloween sound effects to scare trick-or-treaters, you had to play them through a stereo. And the speakers aimed at the door were kind of a dead giveaway.
But with the free Halloween Sounds Pro app for iPhone, you get to control a bunch of spooky Halloween sounds from your smartphone. Sneak up on that unsuspecting teenager who looks just a little too old to be asking for candy, or set the delay to scare the hell out of someone after you've left the room.
2: iMut8r app for iPhone and iPad
There are already a couple of apps that let you manipulate photos of yourself and of friends to make horrible monsters on your smartphone. SpookyPic and ZombieBooth are just a couple.
But iMut8r for iPhone and iPad lets you mutate into a vampire, werewolf, zombie, witch, ghoul, whatever. Mix and match elements for your most hideous Facebook profile pic yet!
3: Pumpkin Ninja app for iPhone
Addicted to smartphone gaming? The Pumpkin Ninja game app for iPhone lets you swipe at falling pumpkins à la fruit Ninja.
Not really scary but definitely in the Halloween spirit.
4. iDrakula app for iPhone
What's more Halloween than telling scary stories?
The iDrakula app for iPhone does just that, retelling Bram Stoker's classic Dracula novel with a modern slant through text messages, voicemails, emails and browsers in language geared for the Twitter age.
You may get a "text" from a character telling you another chunk of the plot, so the juicy story not only unfolds on your smartphone, but has interactive elements and develops at surprise moments not of your own choosing.
5. Dark Haunts app for iPhone or Android
Always itched to go ghost hunting?
The Dark Haunts app for iPhone claims to help you "find the closest 'real' haunted site near you."
Dark Haunts' database has over 3,200 haunted locations and is regularly adding new ones. They give you a bit of backstory, and direct you to the ghost-infested locations. You can also choose the type of haunt you want: a restaurant if you're hungry, a hotel if you want a creepy getaway.
Just don't go crying to the developers if you actually happen to run into a spectre.

A white button-up is like the sartorial equivalent of a blank canvas; set as the foundation piece of your look, it lends itself to an endless amount of interesting styling options. Though a longtime staple of the traditional nine-to-five uniform, this crisp closet necessity has its place outside the corporate world too, yielding loads of fashionable daytime and after-hours ensembles. Seeing as no fashionable wardrobe would be complete without a few white button-ups in the mix, we're showing you three must-try styles, as well as some top-notch essentials, to help you Get The Look!

While there are a hundred (if not more) ways to wear a white button-up this season, we are especially fond of Leelee Sobieski's boy-meets-girl styling. For the Women's Filmmaker Brunch during the Tribeca Film Festival late last month, the actress paired her Adam Kimmel button-up with a vintage Azzedine Alaia high-waisted skater skirt and Balenciaga leather monk-strap shoes for a noteworthy outcome that is uncomplicated, polished, and a bit debonair-perfect for the style-minded professional on the go!
Using Sobieski's easygoing daytime outfit as a reference, we've scoured the market for stylish button-ups that are ideal for the warm months ahead, and we've even included a handful of key pieces to help you complete your look! Read on for details and some styling tips, and be sure to tell us which white button-up is on your must-have list this spring.
The Product
Tucker Slim Fit Combo Shirt ($327, 212.938.0811) in Ivory with Sponge Cake
For a modern take on this timeless wardrobe essential, don't miss Tucker's Slim Fit Combo Shirt. This pajama-inspired blouse oozes easy elegance, not to mention, the printed trim adds just the right amount of visual interest, ensuring this button-up is anything by ordinary!
Lands' End Regular Short Sleeve Peter Pan Blouse ($25.50) in White
If you fear the white button-up is a bit too borrowed-from-the-boys for your tastes, we'd like to direct you to the Peter Pan Blouse by Lands' End. Featuring a fit-and-flare silhouette and a youthful rounded collar, this sweetly feminine top is a nice alternative to the traditional shirt. Try it tucked into a knee-length pleated skirt for a business meeting, or pair it with tailored tomboy shorts and loafers for a preppy weekend look.
Equipment Diem Tie-Front Washed-Silk Shirt ($185) in White
We like to think of Equipment's Diem Tie-Front Shirt as the perfect weekend shirt. Trust us, this breezy, sleeveless blouse will become your best friend when the sweltering summer heat arrives, plus we love how the tie-front detail lends the piece a cool and casual look. It's just the kind of white button-up you want to have on hand for a backyard BBQ or picnic in the park.
Style It With/A Skirt
Now that we've shown you four stellar white button-ups, we'd like to offer you some additional styling suggestions! Whether you're looking to spruce up your office attire or simply create a cool off-the-clock ensemble, these essentials will definitely do the trick! For readers looking to emulate Sobieski's masculine/feminine look, be sure to pick up ASOS' Full Skirt in Contrast Hem ($80). The voluminous silhouette lends the skirt a flirtatious spirit, however, the dark, color-block design keeps the piece professional, so it will easily take you from the boardroom to after-hours cocktails.
Style It With/Shorts
If skirts aren't really your cup of tea, you can always try printed shorts instead, like Burberry London's Jacquard Shorts ($325), which will instantly add interest to your outfit. If this pair falls into the pricier end of your summer wardrobe budget, we also approve of Dolce Vita's high-waisted Agustina Ikat Shorts ($154); they'd look sharp worn with a tucked-in button-up and neon belt.
Style It With/Accessories
As for the rest of your look, we recommend incorporating a few sleek and minimal accessories. A chic timepiece adds an element of sophistication to any ensemble (day or night), which is why we think a timeless style like Cartier's Tank Solo Watch ($2750)-Anne Klein's Crystal Embellished Watch ($85) is a worthy budget-conscious alternative-will complement your sharp button-up brilliantly. Finally, instead of slipping on sky-high heels, go for Gucci's Betis Glamour Leather Ankle Boots ($839) for a cool, downtown finish.--Jessica Baker

Task: For each article, find the dealer or dealers with the most expensive price.
This problem can be solved with a subquery like this one:
SELECT article, dealer, price FROM shop s1 WHERE price=(SELECT MAX(s2.price) FROM shop s2 WHERE s1.article = s2.article); +---------+--------+-------+ | article | dealer | price | +---------+--------+-------+ | 0001 | B | 3.99 | | 0002 | A | 10.99 | | 0003 | C | 1.69 | | 0004 | D | 19.95 | +---------+--------+-------+
The preceding example uses a correlated subquery, which can be
inefficient (see Section 22.214.171.124, "Correlated Subqueries"). Other
possibilities for solving the problem are to use an uncorrelated
subquery in the
FROM clause or a
Uncorrelated subquery:
SELECT s1.article, dealer, s1.price FROM shop s1 JOIN ( SELECT article, MAX(price) AS price FROM shop GROUP BY article) AS s2 ON s1.article = s2.article AND s1.price = s2.price;
SELECT s1.article, s1.dealer, s1.price FROM shop s1 LEFT JOIN shop s2 ON s1.article = s2.article AND s1.price < s2.price WHERE s2.article IS NULL;
LEFT JOIN works on the basis that when
s1.price is at its maximum value, there is no
s2.price with a greater value and the
s2 rows values will be
NULL. See Section 22.214.171.124, "JOIN Syntax".

The examples here by MySQL are not that helpful if you are working with temporary tables and need to add conditions to the query... like prices only from this year, for instance.
The first example falls down with temporary tables because you can't select from the same temp table twice in the same query (get "can't reopen table" error). It also doesn't give you just distinct articles, if that's what you were after. It will show the same article twice in the case where you have 2 articles from different dealers for the same price.
The second example is both difficult to understand and cumbersome to manage if you have extra query conditions (i.e. don't want to select the whole table). With large tables, you will end up needing to repeat query conditions in inner and outer queries (or at least in the LEFT JOIN ON part) for query speed.
I found another method for group-wise max that is a bit more straightforward and less duplicating of conditions:
FROM shop
[WHERE conditions]
ORDER BY price DESC) AS s
GROUP BY article
The inner query orders all records by highest price. The outer query uses a group by, which simply grabs the first distinct article that it finds. In this case the first one it finds will be the highest one since we ordered them that way.
This query is probably not as efficient as others, but it's straightforward, and it's easier on query developers when they need to use temp tables or needed to query on less than an entire table. It's only slightly less efficient than the queries given by MySQL on this page, in my tests.

Speakman: Your solution sounds good, but is it stable?
The manual tells that non-grouped fields have an indeterminate value if not all values of rows are the same.
Right now the value at the first encountered row may be used, but may it happen in the future releases that other random row will be selected? It would be nice to hear an insider's opinion.
|Posted by O T on November 19 2009 3:40pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
I suggest the following syntax which orders by column1 as usual but returns the corresponding column2 when given:
max( column1 [, column2 ] )
|Posted by Rick James on December 7 2009 4:14pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
Speakman's solution ("group by trick", as I call it) is stable and far more efficient than the methods given in the article.
This is Order(N*logN); the article is Order(N*N). That is, as the number of rows grows, the article's methods slow down quadratically -- a million rows would require a trillion operations.
|Posted by Alexandru Trandafir Catalin on April 21 2010 7:58am
|[Delete] [Edit]
I think of an easy way to get the row with the greatest value for one field, I don't know if it is efficient but it's sure very easy:
And that's all, it will give you the product with the biggest price.
|Posted by Charlie Chambers on July 13 2010 8:10pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
Alexandru Trandafir Catalin:
The query you provide is finding the greatest price for any article, i.e. a single value.
The problem that the page is targeted toward is finding the greatest price for each article, i.e. one value per article in the table.

O T: Although that would be awesome, it did not work for me and I couldn't find it in the manual.
|Posted by Deon Kuhn on February 9 2012 12:29pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
In my particular case I was only working with one record, and the correlated sub query solution proved 50% faster than the 'group by' trick. I am getting the most recent record to be altered by user 6 by way of a main table and changes log.
SELECT iA.tid
FROM main_table iA
JOIN log_table iC ON iA.tid = iC.tid AND iC.userid = 6
WHERE iC.status = 1 AND iC.id = ( SELECT MAX( id ) `scmax` FROM log_table WHERE iA.transactionID = trxid )
was faster than
SELECT iA.tid
FROM main_table iA
JOIN ( SELECT id, tid, userID FROM ( SELECT id, tid, userID FROM log_table WHERE userID = 6 ORDER BY id DESC ) iiA GROUP BY tid ) iC ON iA.tid = iC.tid AND iC.status = 1

|[Delete] [Edit]
I am using this as a tutorial and tried doing it by myself before seeing the "answer" and I came up with this:
SELECT * FROM shop
WHERE price IN (SELECT MAX(price)
FROM shop GROUP BY article);
I think is very straightforward and easy to understand but I might be missing something.
Why nobody recommended this?

@Daniel Bermudez :
You can find your query there : http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/example-maximum-row.html
"Why nobody recommended this?" :
1) it doesn't do what we want there
2) it is slow
|Posted by Predrag Bradaric on January 25 2013 12:48pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
I agree with Robin Palotai. Example given by Kasey Speakman is "unreliable" in the long run.
As stated in MySQL reference manual (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/group-by-extensions.html) values chosen by GROUP BY extension are indeterminate - it is not "guaranteed" that first row (top->down) with distinct value will be chosen in the final result.
Granted, tests have shown that (at the moment) MySQL server will choose first row (top->down) that it encounters but that can break in any future update.
|Posted by John Pratt on March 5 2014 12:17am
|[Delete] [Edit]
Perhaps a future version of MySQL will no longer be "indeterminate". It would be easier to write this query if the Select would reliably always select the top row. http://bugs.mysql.com/71942

BEAVER FALLS While the Beaver River Central School District had little difficulty in adding a universal prekindergarten program this year, getting state funding for it has proven much more problematic.
The monies were approved in the budget, District Superintendent Leueen Smithling said. The grant was initially supposed to come out over the summer.
However, availability of funding for new pre-K programs ended up being delayed until late September, and Beaver Rivers application was ultimately rejected because the district had already started its program at the beginning of the school year, meaning it was technically no longer a new program, Mrs. Smithling said.
No one told us we couldnt start the program in September, she said.
Mrs. Smithling said she has sought the assistance of local state representatives to help rectify the situation. She also publicly raised the issue at a forum in October when state Education Commissioner John B. King Jr. visited Watertown, and again earlier this month during an education forum at Lowville Academy and Central School sponsored by the state Assemblys Republican minority.
So far, district officials have yet to see any tangible results.
None of us have heard a word, Mrs. Smithling said.
The Beaver River Board of Education in 2010 established a pre-K program as one of its educational priorities, but state funding for new programs had been frozen for the past several years, she said.
District officials last spring adopted a 2013-14 budget that set aside $200,000 toward a pre-K program for up to 58 students, Mrs. Smithling said.
The cost will likely end up being well under that figure, since only 31 students are now enrolled in the half-day program, but that number may increase in coming years, she said.
Due to uncertainty about state pre-K aid at the time, no additional revenues were factored into the budget, with district officials choosing to move forward with the program which all other Lewis County school districts already offer regardless of funding availability.
This is about helping out 4-year-old children who need the services and helping them be successful in school, Mrs. Smithling said.
However, the hope was that Beaver River, like other county districts, would be able to get some state money to offset pre-K program costs and lessen the burden on district taxpayers, she said.
A program implemented three years ago that helps students in kindergarten through grade 2 better blend consonants and vowels has proven very beneficial, Mrs. Smithling said.
We have just seen phenomenal growth in how our kids learn to read, she said.
However, many kindergarten students have had to, in essence, play catch-up due to the prior lack of a universal pre-K program, Mrs. Smithling said, noting more than half of the incoming kindergarten class were deemed below grade level during their initial screenings.
It was more than we anticipated, she said.
And, with more than half of Beaver River students receiving free or reduced lunches, having a pre-K program available is important to give the students here a fair playing field versus those from wealthier school districts, Mrs. Smithling said.
Its a shame if we dont get the money, because its out there, she said. But these are our kids.

The Orphan Master's Son: A Novel of North Koreaby Adam Johnson
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
An epic novel that elevates its acclaimed author to a whole new level, The Orphan Master's Son is a stunning work of fiction that follows a young man's undercover journey in the world's most mysterious dictatorship, North Korea.
Pak Jun Do is the haunted son of a lost mother — a singer "stolen" to Pyongyang — and an influential father who runs Long Tomorrows, a work camp for orphans. There the boy is given his first taste of power, picking which orphans eat first and which will be lent out for manual labor. Recognized for his loyalty and keen instincts, Jun Do comes to the attention of superiors in the state, rises in the ranks, and starts on a road from which there will be no return—and that can end only in freedom or death.
Considering himself "a humble citizen of the greatest nation in the world," Jun Do becomes a tunnel soldier, trained in the art of zero-light combat, then a professional kidnapper who in turn lies low and lets others impose identities on him. Finally, in a secret fight for freedom, he engages in an act of outrageous impersonation, assuming the treacherous role of rival to Kim Jong Il and daring to fall in love with a legendary actress "so pure she didn't know what starving people looked like."
Part breathless thriller, part unique coming-of-age story, The Orphan Master's Son is also a vivid portrait, in devastating detail, of a world heretofore hidden from view: a North Korea rife with hunger, corruption, and casual cruelty but also camaraderie, humor, and love. A towering literary achievement, The Orphan Master's Son ushers Adam Johnson into the small group of today's greatest writers.
"Johnson's novel accomplishes the seemingly impossible: an American writer has masterfully rendered the mysterious world of North Korea with the soul and savvy of a native, from its orphanages and its fishing boats to the kitchens of its high-ranking commanders. While oppressive propaganda echoes throughout, the tone never slides into caricature; if anything, the story unfolds with astounding empathy for those living in constant fear of imprisonment — or worse — but who manage to maintain their humanity against all odds. The book traces the journey of Jun Do, who for years lives according to the violent dictates of the state, as a tunnel expert who can fight in the dark, a kidnapper, radio operator, tenuous hero, and foreign dignitary before eventually taking his fate into his own hands. In one of the book's most poignant moments, a government interrogator, who tortures innocent citizens on a daily basis, remembers his own childhood and the way in which his father explained the inexplicable: '...we must act alone on the outside, while on the inside, we would be holding hands.' In this moment and a thousand others like it, Johnson (Parasites Like Us) juxtaposes the vicious atrocities of the regime with the tenderness of beauty, love, and hope." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"Adam Johnson has pulled off literary alchemy, first by setting his novel in North Korea, a country that few of us can imagine, then by producing such compelling characters, whose lives unfold at breakneck speed. I was engrossed right to the amazing conclusion. The result is pure gold, a terrific novel." Abraham Verghese
"[A] fantastical, careening tale....Informed by extensive research and travel to perhaps the most secretive nation on earth, Johnson has created a remarkable novel that encourages the willing suspension of disbelief....Johnson winningly employs different voices, with the propagandizing national radio station serving as a mad Greek chorus. Part adventure, part coming-of-age tale, and part romance, The Orphan Master's Son is a triumph on every level." Booklist (Starred review)
"Impossible to forget...Adam Johnson unleashes a big, thrilling, and fully realized talent." Jennifer Egan, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of A Visit from the Goon Squad
"Remarkable...Johnson's heroes are isolated and alienated, but are capable of feeling just the right emotion at just the right time." The New Yorker
"[Johnson's] characters are wonderfully weird and charming, and he is so witty a storyteller that this strange novel manages to captivate." The Washington Post
"Teeming with clever conceits, superb turns of phrase, observations as precise as Updike's, and tonal echoes of Vonnegut, Boyle, and George Sanders...The author is wise, weird and worth watching." Seattle Weekly
"An addictive novel of daring ingenuity, a study of sacrifice and freedom in a citizen-eating dynasty, and a timely reminder that anonymous victims of oppression are also human beings who love — The Orphan Master's Son is a brave and impressive book." David Mitchell
"I've never read anything like it. This is truly an amazing reading experience, a tremendous accomplishment. I could spend days talking about how much I love this book. It sounds like overstatement, but no. The Orphan Master's Son is a masterpiece." Charles Bock
"Readers who enjoy a fast-paced political thriller will welcome this wild ride through the amazingly conflicted world that exists within the heavily guarded confines of North Korea. Highly recommended." Library Journal (Starred review)
"[A] vivid, violent portrait of a nation...[a] macabrely realistic, politically savvy, satirically spot-on saga. Johnson's metathriller, spiked with gory intrigues and romantic subplots, is a ripping piece of fiction that is also an astute commentary on the nature of freedom, sacrifice, and glory in a world where everyone's 'a survivor who has nothing to live for.'" Elle
"Ambitious, violent, audacious — and stunningly good." O Magazine
"The Kim Jong Il that we meet in Adam Johnson's second novel, set in North Korea, is no cartoon villain, no Team America marionette. He's a three-dimensional character — a hairsprayed, jump-suited, hopping-mad monomaniac, sure, but a man in whom we can recognize some of our own jealousies and desires....Peering into one of the world's most closed societies, the author has located the similarities between us and them, offering the possibility that we in the United States might be able to relate to the cognitive dissonance North Koreans experience on a daily basis. The idea that we can clearly recognize the people behind that iron curtain — that we can identify with their psychological disconnects — ought to console us, just as it ought to trouble us." Bookforum

His fiction has appeared in Esquire, The Paris Review, Harper's, Tin House, Granta, and Playboy, as well as The Best American Short Stories.

A new study led by Carol Bruggers, a professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Utah, examined the therapeutic benefits of video games for young patients with cancer, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, autism, asthma and depression.
"When you're in the hospital for a long time, or being treated for an illness like cancer, it can lead to some very serious physical de-conditioning and emotional de-conditioning," Bruggers told Science Friday. "We wanted to look at how to combat the physical and emotional deterioration that can go on, as well as build up resilience."
Bruggers and her colleagues developed a prototype video game that they hope will promote physical activity, and empower young patients in a fun and entertaining way.
The game, which the researchers called the Patient Empowerment Exercise Video Game, is compatible with Sony's PlayStation 3 console. Patients play as a superhero character facing a series of obstacles. For one activity, the superhero has to build a brick wall to stop a tidal wave from flooding the city.
"To build the brick wall, you have to use different arm motions at different times, so you have an incentive to use different muscles," Bruggers explained. "But, as you lay bricks and slather cement, it's sort of a takeoff on building up your immune system with an immune defense wall."
Bruggers and her colleagues detailed their ongoing research in an article published Sept. 19 in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
Within four to six months, Bruggers expects to begin clinical trials of the specially designed video game with a group of pediatric cancer patients.
The children will be able to play the game in their own homes, as well as at the cancer clinic at the Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City. The researchers will monitor the patients' physical activity and emotional responses to the game. The doctors will also look at the patients' neuropeptide levels to pinpoint protein-like molecules which Bruggers says are associated with self-empowerment and resilience.
Bruggers sees enormous potential within the video game industry to develop new programs similar to the one designed at the University of Utah. Other researchers agree.
"A lot of research is demonstrating that games are pretty powerful," said Douglas Gentile, a developmental psychologist at Iowa State University who was not involved with Bruggers' study. "People outside the gaming community are looking at the potential for this technology to be used in a number of beneficial ways."
"Anything we do to engage the brain engages our thoughts and engages our physiology, and that then can engage our emotions," Gentile said. "All of these are important in patient recovery."

Museum Ph.D. Student Confirms New Lizard Species in the Congo
by AMNH on
Museum graduate student Edward Stanley recently used high-resolution x-ray images of tiny "armor" bones to help an international team of scientists discover a new species of lizard from remote, war-torn mountains in Central Africa. The lizard, Cordylus marunguensis, was found on the Marungu Plateau in the southeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is described in the African Journal of Herpetology.
The new lizard was discovered on an expedition led by Eli Greenbaum, assistant professor of evolutionary genetics at the University of Texas at El Paso, and Chifundera Kusamba, a research scientist from the Centre de Recherche en Sciences Naturelles in the Congo. Suspecting that the lizard represented a new species, Greenbaum sent DNA samples and a specimen to Stanley, a third-year student in the Museum's Richard Gilder Graduate School—the first museum program in the Western Hemisphere with the authority to grant the Ph.D. degree.

We wanted to include a panoramic image of a magnificent coralscape in Creatures of Light: Nature's Bioluminescence, and Bloody Bay Wall [off Little Cayman Island] was the perfect place.
But capturing Ansel Adams-like vistas are impossible under water, where sections of the light spectrum—especially reds—are absorbed within a meter. We need to get in very close to our subject and use flash photography to capture the reef 's true color. We have to repeat this process hundreds of times over the wall face. Then, the small consecutive images are painstakingly stitched together to create a life-sized, true-color view.

This Mother's Day weekend, travel from the shores of Africa to the deep-sea habitats of bioluminescent creatures with a live puppet theater production that makes its New York premiere.Luna's Sea tells the story of a girl named Luna on a magical journey through the world's oceans using dance, puppetry, optical illusions, and black-light theater.

"What's the best way to get gems for forked repos?"
There was quite a discussion on this. The specific issue is that the team is trying to use Compass (Chris Eppstein gave a talk on Compass at Pivotal on 3/18-look for the future video on our Talks Page.) For the moment, since compass depends on the edge version of sass you must first manually install sass before installing the compass gem.
If it's a rails app, I recommend that you just vendor the gem until the official release. Haml can be installed as a frozen gem or you can just check it out from github into your vendor/plugins/haml directory.
Quick correction on the IE problem.
While Input elements in IE have the problem that you can't change the `type` attribute, they do let you set it once after you have created it.
The problem we were having was with Button elements. The spec says they should default to type `submit`, but IE defaults them to a type of `button`. IE also doesn't let you change the `type` attribute, making it impossible to create a submit Button element in IE using createElement('button').
A nicer work around for the changing type issue is to clone the input using cloneNode, change the type of the cloned input, and replace the existing input with the cloned one. No erronous elements or innerHTML required.
@chris – the gem had native components, so we didn't vendor it.
The problem with building our fork on GitHub was that HAML had a non-standard package procedure which did filesystem access.
So, we used [Jeweler](http://technicalpickles.github.com/jeweler/) to generate and check in a gemspec on our github fork, and then used [GemInstaller](http://geminstaller.rubyforge.org) to install it.
We did try out [HasMyGemBuiltYet.org](http://hasmygembuiltyet.org), but it built really fast anyway :)

I can't get cloneNode to work in IE. When I clone an input of type "text" or "password", the newly created node still has the original type, and attempting to set it fails in IE.
What I typically do in this case is create an new input, and set the type to what I want, then copy over the id and className attributes, not very clean at all, so if you've got a way to do it with cloneNode, let me know.
