Theophilus Acheampong, 2010 Graduate
Theophilus Acheampong is a PhD student in Economics at the University of Aberdeen where he researches on oil and gas safety economics and the impacts of regulatory interventions. He holds a master's degree in Petroleum and Energy Economics with distinction from the University of Aberdeen and a BSc (Hons) in Chemical Engineering from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana.
He previously worked as a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Aberdeen developing new projects in the field of petroleum economics, taxation, and regulatory policy. He also works as a West Africa Analyst and Country Risk Specialist providing political and commercial risk analysis for IHS Exclusive Analysis, a leading political risk consultancy based in London.
The MSc programme in Petroleum and Energy Economics was a natural attraction for me because I always wanted to have a career in the energy industry in business strategy, investment analysis and corporate planning. The analytical focus of the course especially in the areas of economic and financial risk modelling has provided me with unique problem solving skills that allows me to conceptually identify and practically optimize business risks. Currently, I also work as an economic analyst providing support for 45 leading authors engaged in the international research and publication project on "Environment, Health and Safety Management for Upstream Oil and Gas".

MASSENA - MASSENA - A Massena man described as potentially a one man crime spree in the village could be sentenced to a year in the county correctional facility after he pleaded guilty to a petit larceny count in a plea bargain agreement that satisfied a host of other charges.
Joseph A. Rousaw, 38, of 35 Highland Ave., Massena, pleaded guilty to one count of petit larceny. He admitted he had filled his vehicle up with $92 worth of gasoline at the Mountain Mart Mobil station before driving off without paying for the fuel.
Massena Village Justice Eric J. Gustafson directed the probation department to conduct a pre-sentence investigation and scheduled sentencing for Nov. 27.
Prosecutors have said they will ask for Rousaw to be sentenced to one year in the county jail as a result of the guilty plea, but the plea bargain agreement did not include a stipulated sentencing commitment.
The plea bargain agreement covered two other gas drive offs, an unrelated petit larceny count, a drug-related charge and second-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.The aggravated unlicensed operation stemmed from a late March traffic stop related to an investigation into three gas driveoffs over a two-week period. He allegedly stole $92 worth of gasoline from Mountain Mart, $50.08 from Stewarts and another $10 from Stewarts at a different time.
Rousaw, in a statement provided to police, admitted he had driven off without paying for gas on three occasions.
Times are tough, and I use my truck for work and needed to put gas in it so I can work, he said in his statement.
He was charged with petit larceny on June 30 when he and a male co-defendant walked out of the Price Chopper without paying for $191 worth of groceries in his cart, including two cases of Bud Light beer, a 12-pack of Twisted Teas and 10 packages of beef.
The previous day he had been charged with criminal possession of a hypodermic needle when they found a needle in his pants pocket during another petit larceny investigation.
If these allegations are true, Mr. Gustafson said at Rousaws initial arraignment, it appears Mr. Rousaw is on the process of creating a one-man crime spree in the village.
He was sent back to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility with bail continued at $1,000.
In other recent court action before Judge Gustafson:
■ Carmon L. Kingsley, 39, of 56 Parker Ave., Apt. 3, Massena, pleaded guilty to attempted petit larceny in a plea bargain agreement that satisfied two petit larceny counts.
Mr. Gustafson directed the probation department to conduct a pre-sentence investigation and scheduled sentencing for Nov. 3.
Kingsley had been charged in July with stealing $50 on one occasion and $20 on a second occasion from a cash register while employed as an associate at Walmart. Kingsley then reported used the stolen money to purchase food from the Walmart store.

Referral Fees
Referral Fees
By Marc J. Katzman in collaboration with Matthew B.F. Biren. Katzman is a member of the Law Practice Management Section Executive Committee and practices in Los Angeles with Biren at the firm of Biren & Katzman in the areas covered by this column. The views expressed are their own.
On a weekly basis, we (column authors Marc J. Katzman and Matthew B.F. Biren) receive numerous calls from attorneys and legal administrators throughout California asking about our policies regarding client referrals and referral fees. Lawyers are often confronted with a quandary -- what to do when a client, relative or friend calls with a legal problem that is outside their field of practice. The attorney wants to help the client but is concerned that he/she may not have the expertise or the resources to do a proper job. In some instances, the lawyer may wish to be involved with the case, recognizing its financial potential for the firm, but is not willing to embark into new areas of practice at the potential expense of the client.
The Source of the Gold
Lawyers and law firms have a golden asset. That asset is their client and contact base -- their personal network. The problem is that most lawyers only capitalize on this asset when it results in cases that they are comfortable handling. The key to mining your practice for gold is to capitalize on the total asset. The key is converting the cases you do not want to handle into a golden income stream.
Referral Fees: Ethically Permissable
Rule 2-200 of the Professional Rules of Conduct of the State Bar of California permits the division of legal fees with a lawyer who is not a partner of, associate of, or shareholder with the member provided that:
1) The client has consented in writing thereto after full disclosure has been made in writing that a division of fees will be made and the terms of such division; and
2) The total fee charged by all lawyers is not increased solely by reason of the provision for division of fees and is not unconscionable as that term is defined in rule 4-200.
Benefits of Attorney Referrals
All parties involved in a referral relationship -- the client, the referring lawyer and the handling lawyer -- stand to benefit.
Perhaps most significant is the benefit to the client. Rather than a lawyer with inadequate experience and/or resources trying to work over his or her head, or the client being abandoned to try and find competent counsel on his or her own, the client is referred to a specialist and is positioned to receive the best possible representation.
The referring lawyer/law firm avoids handling a case outside of their specialization and all the potential pitfalls -- including malpractice -- that come with such folly. Additionally, the referring lawyer stands to realize additional income -- fees without a concomitant expenditure of time or resources. In many instances, a cross-referral relationship can be established, which can also result in new business opportunities coming to the referring lawyer as well.
Mining Your Practice for Gold
The first step to mining your practice for gold is to establish a network of lawyers to whom you are comfortable referring cases outside of your specialization.
The second step is to retrain yourself and your firm members to actually make referrals when you receive inquiries about cases that you do not want to handle.
Finally, the real gold comes from encouraging your clients and contacts to contact you whenever they have a legal problem and letting them know that you have a network of qualified lawyers to whom you can refer matters that are outside of your area of expertise.

Foodbuzz Blogger Festival Recap: Day 3: The Farewell BrunchPin It
After packing as much swag as I could actually carry home (someday I'll get a good picture of everything we got so you can see just how much Foodbuzz spoiled us), I hopped – literally, haha – into a cab and headed to LuLu Restaurant for the final event of the weekend, our Farewell Brunch. A few folks were already in line but the organizers were kind enough to let me go in early so I could get settled. As I waited for the rest of the folks to come in, I took a few shots of the restaurant and tried not to drool over the menu that would be served to us in short order. I liked the bright airiness of the restaurant and the simple, contemporary décor, and was very impressed at how friendly the wait staff and bartenders were. Nothing like good service to start off a good dining experience.
I was finally joined by Catherine of Munchie-Musings, Kate of Something We Dreamed, John of Food Wishes (who won Best Video Blog – congrats!), and Joel of Six By 10 Tiny Kitchen and we shared our impressions of the previous night's dinner while we waited for the brunch to begin. Soon enough we were told we could proceed to the Build Your Own Bloody Mary bar, which I was definitely looking forward to. They split us up into two lines for that, one for those of us who wanted to pick up our Skyy Vodka before mixing our drinks and the other for those who preferred a Virgin Mary. Fresh orange juice and coffee were also offered, in case folks weren't too interested in the savory brunch drinks. The spread for the Build Your Own Bloody Mary bar was lovely, with ice cold pitchers of the most delicious Bloody Mary mix I've ever had (the whole spices and use of real ingredients truly made a difference), giant stalks of celery and every possible garnish you could wish for. My only wish would have been to have a Mimosa bar right next to the Bloody Mary's, since some of the dishes would have paired nicely with a good Mimosa.
Ever the anthropologist, it was fun for me to watch all of us pile our dishes sky high with the great food choices, a sharp contrast to the dainty portions we were serving ourselves the night before. I made sure to try a bit of everything except for the sausage (my thick slab of bacon was more than enough), and I think everything was my favorite! The panzanella was excellent and I would have been perfectly content to eat a pound of that and the Pear & Bleu Cheese Salad if I hadn't been so curious about everything else. As I just mentioned, the slices of bacon were cut so thick it would have been impossible for me to eat more than one, but I admired those that could. I was quite glad that it was very lean, meaty bacon, a welcome change from the usual greasy bacon they serve at most places.
The French Toast was cooked to perfection and accented beautifully by the Pear Compote and Cinnamon Butter. I was a little disappointed that the cinnamon butter was not as cinnamon-y as I'd hoped, but it was still nice to have that as an option in addition to the standard maple syrup. Though I enjoyed everything on the menu, the true star of the show for me was the Croque Monsieur. The entire combination was perfect for me, especially since I've become the hugest fan of Nature's Pride Whole Wheat Bread (seriously – this is the best whole wheat bread I have ever tried). What really made it special was the use of the truffle mustard; it brought a certain earthiness to the tiny sandwich that rounded out the flavors of the ham, Swiss, and nutty whole wheat bread. I was SO glad I grabbed more than one piece before the rest was gone!
After saying my goodbyes (wish I could have seen my gals from dinner the night before!) and struggling to get a cab back to my hotel (SF cabbies are MEAN on Sundays! And there was some protest parade that blocked most of the routes that we needed to take to get back to the hotel! Snarf.), I headed back to Sacramento with a ton of great swag and memories of an incredible weekend. I'm sure it would have been even better to have participated in every event, but the ones I was able to experience were just fabulous. Foodbuzz really deserves all the thanks in the world for organizing a truly memorable event that I believe will only get better as the years go by. Between the seminars, the food, and the ability to meet and socialize with awesome folks who are just as crazy about food (and taking photos of it) as I am, the Foodbuzz Blogger Festival is a food bloggers dream! I mean, where else can you find 249 other food obsessed people with cameras ready to take pictures of anything they see?
Thank you, Foodbuzz!!! See you next year!

Another nice pre release review of First Light by Michael Diamond over at Music and Media Focus.
You can read that here
"Each composition is exquisite, yet just as impressive as the overall piece, is the attention to the smallest details heard on closer listening.
I don't know how many "wow" moments I had throughout the album, but they were numerous. Peter's skills in arranging are among the best I've heard."

For Mars Assault rifle, why don't use assault rifle's texure and other of quake 4?
Ballistic Weapons replaces UT2004's wepaons with a batch of new, realistic, high quality weapons using an enhanced weapons sytem with reloading, aiming, firemodes, improved damage behaviour and much more to give the game a more tactical style. All the items have also been replaced and the mod uses totally original sounds and effects. The entire mod is implemented through a mutator so it is compatible with all gametypes and many different mods. It also comes with a melee mutator to play using only the melee weapons. Decent bot support has been included, allowing the bots to use all the new weapons. The mod has also been designed to be very mod friendly so as to serve as a base for other mods allowing most features and systems to be implemented using just the default properties of new weapons. A manual is included with the mod as well.
Bug fixes, new media, and open positions for the community Ballistic Weapons bonus packs!
Posted by Sgt.Kelly on Dec 23rd, 2011
Let's start this post off with some new content for the Ballistic Weapons mod!
Version 10 of our bonus pack is off to a great start, with two new weapons already modeled, coded and textured for ingame use!
First up is the RS04 .45 Tactical Pistol. This little guy finally his own weapon model thanks to the work of modeler Glosmostinex, who in turn based it off the concept art of Bonez18B. This gun will be available ingame with a variety of camo finishes with animations by the talented Captain Xavious.
Second up is the PS-9m Tranquilizer Stealth Pistol, a newcomer that you may have noticed in our prototype testing package! This sneaky little dart gun was modeled by Blade Sword and is based of the iconic Stealth Pistol of Deus Ex. (Which we love.) Also comes with a giant mountable dart filled with medical gas that you can embed in walls or your teammates' squishy little eyes!
This is only the tip of the iceberg! Stay tuned for more and more weapons in the coming months!
Also, nothing kicks off a festive season better than some new downloads! I'm happy to announce the release of a new patch for our V9 pack. We browsed forums and online servers and incorporated the changes the players wanted. We also fixed a few leftover bugs too, and that's always good.
If you have V9 already, you can snag the patch file to get your mod up to date! Additionally, if you don't have the mod or had trouble installing it from the .zip, we now have a V9.0 + V9.2 UMOD file available as well.
Version 9.2 Changelog:
- Bulldog accuracy settings changed. (Accuracy improved, follows users settings better.)
- Bulldog runspeed reduced. (It's a really heavy gun.)
- Bulldog netcode modifiers optimized.
- Bulldog sometimes not cocking after firing online fixed.
- LS14 rocket reloads now work online.
- LS14 mismatched tips fixed.
- CYLO shotgun ammo now feeds the CYLO.
- MR-DR88 ammo no longer pounded into the floor.
- SKAS-21 pickup no longer tiny.
- HMC-117's splash damage range and damage increased.
- HMC team code optimized.
- Bots now use HMC 25% blast at range.
- Coach Gun's range massively increased.
- Coach Gun's spread halved.
- Coach Gun's damage increased. (Coach gun is quite good at range!)
- Coach Gun + Sawn Off no longer move around when jumping.
- A49 pitch issues when dual wielded. (No pitch change ever.)
- A49, MRDR dual wielding upside down bug squashed.
- Sawn Off 3rd-person's huge muzzle flash reduced.
- SRS M2 recoil adjustments. (More kick default, camo variants have less chaos or less recoil)
- A49 sound volume fixed.
- LS440M pullout/putaway sound pitch set to 1.
- MRDR88 Deathmessage fixed.
- Doom fists 'swap rank' reduced to 1. (They'll still show up first when the mutator is used though.)

-Dragons Tooth teamskins fixed online.
-Added the instagib rifle as a mutator option.
-LS440M is now 'Instagib Rifle' instead of 'Enhanced Shock Rifle'.
We also have some servers hosting the weapons now, in case you want to test these weapons against real live people instead of the usual bots.
ut2004://184.108.40.206:7777 ABA clan server. [Fast paced arcade gameplay]
ut2004://188.8.131.52:7777 Dorian's Prototype server. [Development server with V10's WIP guns.]

ut2004://22.214.171.124:8025 LDG clan server #2. [Tactical Call of Duty style gameplay]
Last, but not least, we're looking for new members! V10 is going to be our most ambitious release yet, with boatloads of new models, textures and sounds. We're going to need all the help we can get! If you're interested in helping out our community effort and have knowledge in UV mapping, animating, or texturing, just shoot us a message at the Ballistic Weapons Community group; we'd love to have you on the team!
For Mars Assault rifle, why don't use assault rifle's texure and other of quake 4?
I already asked for a Halo Energy Sword model, buut... I believe the whole point of this wonderful mod is to keep it original (Though... the Dragon Nano blade looks.... an awful lot like the one from Deus Ex. . .)
This just happens to be one of the biggest pieces of community work. :D
Also, this pack ROKS, it just shows how much dedication they are willing to invest into this pack.
Honestly we need more alien weapons, as there is such an overwhelming number of human weapons as it is.

Number 13 - unlucky for genes?
Latest chromosome analysis reveals the variety in our genome
Ahead of this weekend's HUGO meeting in Berlin, researchers from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute today (Thursday 1 April 2004) describe their studies of human chromosome 13 (published in Nature). Among the genes identified using the sequence of chromosome 13 are those that can dispose to breast cancer (BRCA2) as well as regions associated with schizophrenia and one containing a gene implicated in asthma.
One of the most remarkable results is just how few genes there are on chromosome 13 - although for the first time, researchers have used methods to predict the locations of a class of genes - so-called microRNA genes - which are important in controlling the activity of other genes.
The high-quality sequence consists of more than 95.5 million letters of DNA code. Painstaking study shows that, within that sequence, lie only 633 genes - fewer than on chromosome 22, which is less than half the size of 13.
Andy Dunham, leader of the team at The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, said: "Chromosome 13 has a dramatic genomic landscape, in the centre of which is a huge 'desert' of only 47 genes. Normally we would expect about 180 genes in such a region of DNA."
"But what we have been able to do is look in greater detail at regions of the chromosome that may control gene activity. We have a clear image of regions that do not code for genes, but are shared with other species, and it is clear that some of these will encode regulatory messages."

So the wilderness of chromosome 13 has revealed a bounty of new and exciting detail. Recently developed tools and databases such as Rfam allowed the team to look deeper into regions that might previously have been thought to be barren - junk DNA.
MicroRNAs do not specify proteins, but bind to other RNAs and diminish their activity or even lead to their destruction. This is a level of control of genetic activity that was not widely recognized only two years ago. Today, several hundred genes for these RNAs are thought to be present in the human genome.
Dr Jane Rogers, Head of Sequencing at The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, said: "Each chromosome brings its own surprises. Our genome is not a homogeneous whole, but a rich mixture of DNA sequences that are revealing new glimpses of how we control our genes and how our genome evolved to look the way it does. High-quality finished sequence and accurate gene analysis help us to pick apart the mysteries of what the large non-coding regions of our genome might do."
Much remains to be uncovered: there are regions on chromosome 13 that appear to play an important role in leukaemias and lymphomas, but the genes involved have not been identified thus far. The sequence produced at the Sanger Institute can only speed that discovery.
Notes to Editors

Publication details
The DNA sequence and analysis of human chromosome 13.
Nature 2004;428;6982;522-8
PUBMED: 15057823; PMC: 2665288; DOI: 10.1038/nature02379
About 2-3% of the human genome codes for protein: much of the remainder is repetitive sequence, but some 40% or so is not. Some of this sequence will be important in gene regulation, but we are only just beginning to recognise where these regions may be and develop methods to study the roles that they play in controlling biological function. Comparing sequences of genomes from multiple species (comparative genomics) highlights regions that are conserved: these include genes and possible regulatory sequences.
Following the sequence of the human genome, new resources have been developed to help researchers investigate the range of genetic signals in genomes. Amongst these are ever-improving databases of RNA and protein families, which help the identification and description of novel genes - a process called annotation.
Recent results suggest that a class of small genes code for RNA molecules that are not translated into protein, but serve to control the activity of other genes. First clearly described in the worm C. elegans, so-called microRNAs (miRNAs) appear to act most commonly to reduce gene activity. It is only with sequence of entire genomes that this new and important class of molecules has been identified.
Chromosome 13 is acrocentric - that is the centromere (or 'waist') of the chromosome lies near one end, and the chromosome effectively has only one gene-coding arm. The sequence reported in the publication in Nature is some 95,564,076 base-pairs of DNA code, covering 98.3% of the long arm of chromosome 13. It consists of five sections.
The Wellcome Trust and Its Founder
The Wellcome Trust is the most diverse biomedical research charity in the world, spending about £450 million every year both in the UK and internationally to support and promote research that will improve the health of humans and animals. The Trust was established under the will of Sir Henry Wellcome, and is funded from a private endowment, which is managed with long-term stability and growth in mind.
The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute
The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, which receives the majority of its funding from the Wellcome Trust, was founded in 1992. The Institute is responsible for the completion of the sequence of approximately one-third of the human genome as well as genomes of model organisms and more than 90 pathogen genomes. In October 2006, new funding was awarded by the Wellcome Trust to exploit the wealth of genome data now available to answer important questions about health and disease.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- With Wisconsin big man Jon Leuer out with a broken wrist and Ohio State's Evan Turner back in the Buckeyes' lineup, the tables were turned in Saturday's contest in Columbus.
Though No. 13 Wisconsin (14-4, 4-2) cruised to a comfortable win over the Buckeyes (13-5, 3-3) at the Kohl Center on New Year's Eve, Saturday's second meeting was much more of a challenge for Wisconsin, which fell, 60-51, at Value City Arena.
Ohio State burst out to an early 6-0 lead, but UW quickly rebounded, with senior guard Trevon Hughes taking charge and scoring five points to keep OSU's leading margin manageable. Wisconsin gained its first lead 4:40 into the game.
Turner picked up two fouls within the first six minutes, but despite his loss, the Buckeyes came back to earn a nine-point lead by the 2:55 mark of the half. David Lighty expanded OSU's lead to 12 with less than a minute left,
The Badgers entered the second half with poise, opening the frame with an 8-0 run in just over three minutes to cut OSU's lead to four, at 34-30. Both Lighty and Turner picked up their third fouls less than four minutes into the second half, opening up the offense for Wisconsin.
By the 8:43 mark, however, Ohio State had increased its lead to a 15-point leading cushion.
Nankivil made a statement for Wisconsin with a put-back dunk with eight minutes left, followed by a deep trey by Hughes 30 seconds later, and the Buckeyes' lead was down to 10.
Hughes continued to whittle away the lead to single digits by the 4:29 mark, giving UW a chance to capture the lead before time ran out.
However, a pair of free throws by Dallas Lauderdale after Nankivil was called for an offensive foul on a fast-break attempt put the Buckeyes back up by 10 points with 1:28 remaining. The Badgers battled, but 3-point misses on three straight possessions proved to be the downfall for Wisconsin.
Both teams relied heavily on a pair of players, with Wisconsin's Hughes (18 points) and Jason Bohannon (10) shouldering the load for the Badgers in 40 minutes of action each. Lighty had 18 and Turner added 15 points for Ohio State.
Though the teams broke even in rebounding at 27, the difference came in shooting, with Wisconsin only making 40.4 percent of their field goals to OSU's 52.5 percent. The Buckeyes also shot 50 percent from 3-point range.
The Badgers now return to the Kohl Center for a pair of Big Ten matchups, beginning with a game against Michigan on Wednesday, Jan. 20. Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m., with the game carried live on Big Ten Network.

Students can now take a trip to South America simultaneously get credit for a double course in the Summer School, it was announced yesterday by Kirtley F. Mather, Director of the Summer School. The trip this summer will include a study of trade, banking, and industry in the principal cities of Brazil, Uruguay, and Agentina.
Plans for the tour are the result of three years' effort by Comtesses Alain de Pierreien to establish international study tours for University students. Comtesse de Pierreien has sought support in the United States and abroad for a round-the-world tour, to which each country would contribute gifted students, but the project was called off on account of the war.
In charge of the present South American tour will be Professor Norman T. Ness of Polmana College, California and a specialist in the field of Latin-American economy. The group will leave New York, June 28 and return September 2.
Embassies in South America and the U. S. have been asked to assist in arranging conferences with government economic ministers, representatives of chambers of commerce and labor groups, and university scholars. Major industrial plants will also be studied.
In addition to the visits and conferences now being arranged the tour will include a course of study on Latin American conditions and problems equivalent to a double course in the Summer School. Classes will be held on shipboard and final examinations will be given for those who wish credit from the trip.
Strengthen International Ties
Professor Mather pointed out that an important aspect of the trip would be meeting and talking with South American peoples, thus strengthening the ties between the nations of the Western Hemisphere.
Total cost for the tour, including travel and living expenses for the two months and tuition, will be $595. One scholarship covering the expenses of the four has been established, and other scholarships may be established later for able students.

Cape Canaveral, FL (written by James Dean/Florida Today) -- A private spacecraft is on its way to resupply the International Space Station for the first time, opening a new era for NASA and the commercial spaceflight industry.
SpaceX's Dragon cargo capsule blasted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station atop a Falcon 9 rocket at 8:35 p.m. Sunday, lighting the night sky with an orange glow as it roared northeast over the Atlantic Ocean.
The unmanned Dragon spacecraft separated from the rocket in what SpaceX called a "picture-perfect" orbit to start a roughly two-day flight to the station, where three astronauts and cosmonauts await its arrival.
"We are right where we need to be at this stage in the mission," SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said in a statement after the launch. "We still have a lot of work to do, of course, as we guide Dragon's approach to the space station. But the launch was an unqualified success."
SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell said later that one of the rocket's nine first-stage Merlin engines apparently shut down prematurely, but the anomaly did not affect the flight. A video showed debris falling from the bottom of the rocket 80 seconds into flight, but it wasn't immediately clear whether it was related to the engine problem.
The launch made real a concept first proposed in 2004, when NASA announced plans to retire the shuttle after completing the space station and to rely on commercial vehicles to ship cargo to the outpost.
NASA in 2006 picked SpaceX for a program that helped develop and test its new rocket and spacecraft, and in 2008 awarded the company a $1.6 billion contract for 12 commercial resupply missions.
The Dragon's successful test run to the station in May this year paved the way for contracted missions to begin.
NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden called Sunday's launch "a historical event in the annals of spaceflight."
"This was a critical event for NASA and the nation tonight," Bolden said at Kennedy Space Center. "We are once again launching spacecraft from American soil with the supplies our astronauts need in space."
The Dragon is carrying about 1,000 pounds of food and crew supplies, spare parts and science experiments, and is expected to return late this month with twice as much cargo.
A freezer used to store biological samples won attention for its more palatable payload on the ride up: cups of vanilla and swirled chocolate ice cream for a microgravity treat.
The capsule is scheduled to arrive near the station early Wednesday and be grappled by a robotic arm around 7:30 a.m.
NASA said the station crew -- which passed over Cape Canaveral about an hour earlier -- watched video of the flight.
Said station commander Suni Williams: "We are ready to grab Dragon."
Williams and Aki Hoshide will operate the 58-foot arm that performs the grab and attaches Dragon to a docking port.
The Dragon is tentatively scheduled to depart the station Oct. 28, a few days after three more crew members arrive on a Russian spacecraft.
While beginning its first contracted cargo mission, SpaceX is one of several companies competing to launch NASA astronauts to the station by 2017. The U.S. now relies on Russia to fly its astronauts.
Bolden said Sunday's launch helped strengthen the case for flying crews commercially, too.
"Every time they have successful mission, then that gives the non-believers one more opportunity to get on board and root for us and help us make this thing happen that we know can happen," he said. "This was a big night."

Conor Cunningham's blog on SQL Server, data-driven applications, and pretty much whatever other random stuff he decides to post.
I am giving a talk tomorrow (Tuesday) night at the Austin PASS group on how Update Queries are processed/optimized in SQL Server.
The talk will be at the Microsoft office in Austin (which recently moved).
More details can be found at the CACTUS web page. (I don't know if they have my talk announcement up there yet, but hopefully it will be there soon)
(I believe that I will be giving a longer version of this talk at the national PASS conference in Seattle in November, for those of you not lucky enough to be in Austin :)).
I hope you see you there!
I had asked some questions this afternoon about doing large amounts of updates without commits. I'm not sure I was able to ask the question I wanted, so I'll put it here.
I had been given the schema for a mainframe application (IMS pointer array tables) that was the sum of 160 tables times, say 300 lines each. The table contained roughly 50,000 rows.
Roughly speaking, each row contained a table name, line number, column name, size information, and format information of the original database column to the right, various intermediate working columns in the middle, then SQL server names, data types, and size parameters, followed by Visual Basic property names, data types, and dimensions, followed by complete lines of SQL DDL statements, following complete lines of VB.NET classes. In short, it was possible to see, in one row, how each column was transformed from mainframe to client/server.
I wrote a single stored procedure to execute this transformation, which, if I recall, was about 1200 lines long. This took about 5 minutes to execute on 3.6Ghz computer with 2GB of RAM. I had SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition installed on the machine.
Its safe to say that I probably ran about one million updates on the table during that one execution. The specific question is: should I have put periodic BEGIN TRANS and COMMITS to flush pending transactions? Would this have made any difference in performance? Is there
any other design decisions that would have been better?
I did run out of room on my drive from time to time, and got good at shrinking the database. I had gotten really good at writing stored procedures, but only had cursory knowledge at that point about execution plans. The people with Oracle experience had told me that they wouldn't have done it the way I did it, but they didn't say how they would have done it differenty.
"It depends".
If the semantics of your application need all-or-nothing, then do txns at that scope.
If the desired semantics is to get reasonable performance but allow some work to commit before the whole job is done, smaller transactions mean that you hold locks for less time and generally promote concurrency.
I don't know enough about your app to know whether the application NEEDS isolation. I can tell you that most batch jobs have other notions of backup/recovery (ETL may go into a staging table and the whole thing can just be dropped at the logical level instead of worrying about txns). I would start with the business requirement and then work towards the "how does it get implemented w.r.t. txns?" question.
While not in this particular code situation, we were running another code transformation process where we had 4 million rows of mainframe source code in a table. My stored procedures did updates to translate all occurrences of (for example) VAR-ABC to VarAbc. Based on what you were saying in the meeting, this would have generated two spoolers to force the updates to operate sequentially. In this case, since the updates were occurring to different columns of the same table, so 'sequential' would occur by default.
When I tried creating Oracle stored procedures that did updates on hundreds of thousands of rows, it failed with a message to the effect that I had exceeded my rollback segment (or some term to that effect). To complete this update, I had to create a cursor, scroll through 1000 records applying my updates, then commit the 1000 update transaction. On the one hand, I was horrified at the bother, on the other hand, I could see that this probably forced better performance.
On a developer machine, one doesn't worry about concurrency or deadlocks. The local instance was, in effect, the production instance. Based on the fact that each row update creates a new record, however, this means our 4 million row table was putting 40 million rows in tempdb, under the assumption that there is no periodic commit. So the question becomes: is it best to have fewer columns in the table and run separate stored procedures on separate tables to generate (for example) the SQL schema and the VB classes? Better to begintrans and commit around each group of closely related updates (i.e., updates on string fields followed by updates on numeric fields followed by updates on date fields)? Or, better to reduce rowcounts if possible? We could do that down to the IMS table level, say 250 database columns with 20 repeating subgroups.
Sometimes someone can look at stuff like this and know instantly how they would do it better. On the one hand, you may not be able to remark on that in the capacity of a Microsoft employee, on the other, the approach I described may be as efficient as any alternative.
Personally, I would probably do this in batches. It likely would improve performance and also would give me the chance to restart the operation mid-way. However, it is not a requirement in SQL Server to do so. A lof of other factors would play into my ultimate decision, including load on the source and target machines, how long the operation took on the hardware, etc. It sounds like batching would be very reasonable in this case given that the Oracle equivalent was batching.

I had a great day yesterday. But was it healthy or unhealthy? Hmm…
When I finally rolled out of bed (I slept A LOT later than everyone else in the house), I had a cup of coffee and a raisin bagel.
I spent some time repacking and organizing my crap stuff that I spread all around Jared's family's formal living room.
Nothing beats curling up with a good book!
I spent some time reading Amy Tan's The Bonesetter's Daughter. It wasn't long before my eyes were heavy and a nap was necessary. 😛
Jared's parents grabbed burgers for lunch.
Ooo, crinkle cut fries!
Once my greasy cheeseburger digested, I tried to accomplish an at-home workout.
Going for time rather than reps, I made a list of several exercises and then performed each one for a minute. I went through the circuit twice. My workout included:
- Squats
- Front Lifts (holding a medium exercise ball)
- Push Ups
- Crunches
- Plank
- Jog in place
- (a few other random exercises that I can't remember)
Jared and I met his HS buddy for dinner at the Owl House. It's a casual spot in Rochester that offers many vegetarian and gluten-free menu options.
I was obsessed with this cute owl graphic!
We waited 30 minutes for a table. It was a comfortable and easy wait; there were plenty of seats at the bar.
I enjoyed a glass of "Irony" Pinot Noir while we waited.
Once we were seated, the 3 of us split an appetizer. We ordered Cigarillos, buffalo spiced chicken & cheddar, wrapped in flour tortillas, fried crisp, and served with Bleu Cheese. This was also available with vegan substitutes.
After a very heavy lunch, I wanted to keep my dinner on the simple side. I ordered the Matty's Moustache sandwich: warm Brie, apple, pear, red onion, and baby arugula on grilled sourdough bread. I had field greens on the side.
Jared and I made a pit stop at Wegman's. Even though I had only spent one day in Rochester, Jared was hoping I'd been converted and would cheer for the local teams. Sorry Buffalo Bills and Sabres. I still love the Patriots and the Bruins.
We made plans to spend the evening relaxing in the hot tub with a few friends.
I was a little nervous to go outside in my bathing suit. Especially with so much snow surrounding the hot tub!
Yikes! Running across the snow covered deck was COLD. 😯
Once I made it in the hot tub, I was content. The water was warm and soothing. I had a glass of red wine and good company. The ultimate relaxation – until I had to leave the hot tub to run back inside.
*So what do you think, was I healthy or unhealthy?*
I don't think I made the best food decisions, but it could've been worse. I enjoyed a few glasses of wine, but didn't over imbibe. I spent a lot of time focused on rest and relaxation. But I also spent 20 minutes exercising and getting the best workout possible given my surroundings. I can't live every day this; that wouldn't be healthy. But since I'm still on Christmas Vacation, I'd say I did ok.

- Synopsis
- Fathom Events invites you to experience a joyous tale when La Fille mal gardée is screened in select cinemas nationwide on Tuesday, May 5. Based on an 1828 French ballet of the same name and inspired by choreographer Frederick Ashton's love of the Suffolk countryside, La Fille mal gardée is one of the choreographer's most joyous creations. Laced with good humor as a whirl of dancing chickens, grouchy guardians and halfwit suitors take to the stage, Ashton's final full-length ballet incorporates some of his most virtuosic choreography to depict a charming, simple tale of boy meets girl. With elements of national folk dance incorporated throughout, from a Lancashire clog dance to a traditional maypole dance, this emphatically English work has remained a celebrated classic in The Royal Ballet's repertory since its successful premiere in 1960. This brilliant work features music adapted by John Lanchbery from Ferdinand Hérold's original score and colorful designs by Osbert Lancaster that reinforce the robust wit of the lively production. Don't miss this breathtaking performance from The Royal Ballet at your neighborhood cinema!

As the temperatures become warmer, many homeowners are inquiring as to which plants tolerate the hot, dry weather of our summers. One group of plants that thrive under these conditions is ornamental grasses. They have attractive features and come in a variety of colors and textures. Many species have spectacular plumes in summer and beautiful color in fall. Ornamental grasses prefer fertile, well- drained soils with full sun. They seldom have pest problems.
Ornamental grasses can have a variety of functions in the landscape. The taller species can be used as screens or hedges, as well as an accent or focal point in plantings of perennial flowers and shrubs. They are also attractive when grown in containers. Grasses create interest in gardens by their ability to sway in the wind with a rustling sound. They also provide food and shelter to many species of birds.
Of the many types of ornamental grasses, the most frequently planted ones in our area are pampas grass, maiden grass, and fountain grass. Pampas grass, which is native to South America, grows tall, forming tough clumps from its spreading rhizomes. The leaves are narrow, long, strappy, and have sharp edges. The plumes are two to three feet long, varying from white to pink in color, and appearing in the late summer and early fall. The plant has a fountain-like appearance and is best planted where it can be observed from a distance.
Fountain grass is grown as an annual in the northern part of Georgia and as a perennial in the southern part of the state. It has arching branches, forms clumps and grows three to five feet tall. The purple to pink plumes appear during the summer and have a bottlebrush-like appearance.
Maiden grass has fine- textured, dark green leaves that grow four to six feet tall, and is among the most attractive of all of the ornamental grasses. The plumes have a rose to silvery color. The variety 'Zebrinus' has bands of yellow variegation across the blade with a zebra-like appearance. The plant is very versatile in the garden. It adds dimension and texture to a perennial border or foundation planting.
The best time to plant ornamental grasses is in the spring. Lightly fertilize in spring and late summer with an all purpose fertilizer like a 10-10-10. Even though tolerant of dry conditions, they require supplemental water when becoming established. Most of the ornamental grasses should be cut low to the ground in the middle to latter part of the winter prior to the appearance of new growth. Remove the old stems, blades and plumes then clean out the debris in the middle. You can divide the grasses by digging sections from the edge of the clump when new green stems appear in April.
Ornamental grasses are definitely worthy of planting in the landscape. Their attractive growth habit, low maintenance and ease of growing make them an excellent choice for any garden.

@Chris_Broussard: Knicks, Nuggets, Twolves discussing 3-team trade. Melo to NYK; Chandler, Corey Brewer, Minny 1st rnd pick to Den; ECurry, ARandolph to Minny
If Donnie Walsh can somehow manage to pull this trade off, he deserves GM of the year award.
Anthony Randolph has much more upside then Corey Brewer so that is why Minnesota is thinking about this.
Denver is satisfied getting two young players that have the ability to score, as well as a first round pick.
The Knicks make out like bandits if they can get Carmelo Anthony, and only give up Eddy Curry, Anthony Randolph, and Wilson Chandler.
Let's cross our fingers and hope for the best.

Woman drowns in Hartwell Lake
A Georgia woman who family members say knew how to swim drowned Wednesday just 20 feet from Hartwell Lake's shoreline.
Crystal Sabrina Lester, 33, of Athens, Ga., went to the Singing Pines Recreation Area to spend the Fourth of July with her family. She was walking through shallow water from a small island to the mainland with family members around 3 p.m., said Anderson County Deputy Coroner Don McCown. Lester disappeared below the water's surface, he said, noting that the lake's waters are deceiving.
"The lake is so down you can be walking across in 3 feet of water and it drops to 12 feet," he said.
Lester likely panicked, he added, when she lost her footing.
Rescue workers pulled her body from water that was about 12 feet deep at 3:45 p.m.
About 30 of her family members huddled around a white sport utility vehicle near picnic shelter 1, embracing and talking quietly on cellphones. Two little boys sat on the back of the tailgate next to coolers, their legs swinging back and forth.
Across the parking lot, another family grilled hamburgers and lounged in hammocks.
Lester's sister Pamela, who declined to give her last name, said Lester had a son and three daughters.
"She was just a wonderful person, always smiling," Pamela said.
She teased her sister about her good looks.
"We had a thing going where I called her Miss America," Pamela said, smiling.
Search efforts barely hindered some lake visitors. As a helicopter flew across the area at 3:30 p.m., women sunbathed on beaches and couples sat in blankets. About 30 people swam as a small boat with blinking blue lights searched the waters 100 feet away.
But in the picnic shelter 1 parking lot, the vacation had ended.
A young man pulled off his cap and put his hands on his head.
"I just saw her two days ago," he shouted.
Divers from the Anderson County Technical Rescue Team as well as workers from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Anderson County Sheriff's Office and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources responded to the lake Wednesday. Singing Pines Recreation Center is in Anderson County a mile from the Georgia/South Carolina state line.
Lester is the second person from Athens, Ga., to drown there this year. Elio Segura, 33, drowned May 12.
Lester's death was one of a series of deaths Tuesday and Wednesday in Anderson, including a car accident on Liberty Highway, the shooting of a 2-year-old and the fatal shooting of a man.
"It's been a tragic 24 hours in Anderson County," McCown said.
