Intern program violates vets' rights
The Merit Systems Protection Board last week ruled that a controversial intern program violates veterans preference laws and must be overhauled.
The Federal Career Intern Program (FCIP) has been improperly used to fill positions with nonveterans who ordinarily would not have been picked ahead of job seekers who were veterans, MSPB ruled.
MSPB said the government has improperly placed the FCIP positions in the excepted service, which lets agencies avoid the legal requirement to notify the public that competitive service vacancies are available. MSPB agreed with the plaintiff, disabled veteran David Dean, who argued that FCIP violated his right to seek federal employment.
FCIP violates veterans preference laws because it doesn't require the government to justify the placement of positions in the excepted service instead of competitive service, MSPB ruled. Excepted service is meant to fill jobs where it isn't practical to hold an open competition.
MSPB ordered the Office of Personnel Management to bring FCIP into compliance with Title 5 laws governing veterans preference within 120 days. And judges ordered the Veterans Affairs Department to conduct the hiring process again for nine positions in Columbia, S.C., that another plaintiff, Larry Evans, applied for in 2009.
Justify sensitive information designations
Open government advocates are hailing a new executive order requiring agencies to review and justify markings used to designate various types of "controlled unclassified information" (CUI).
Under the reviews, agency officials have to define each category and subcategory of CUI and link it to a specific law, regulation or governmentwide policy. The results must be approved by the National Archives' Information Security Oversight Office.
The executive order, released Nov. 4, targets the current system of more than 100 CUI markings such as "sensitive but unclassified." It calls the system "an inefficient, confusing patchwork" that "has resulted in inconsistent marking and safeguarding of documents, led to unclear or unnecessarily restrictive dissemination policies and created impediments to authorized information-sharing."
In news releases, open-government groups praised another provision that makes clear that CUI markings will have no bearing on whether records are releasable under the Freedom of Information Act.
The order "is a victory for openness, for both our community and the administration," said Patrice McDermott, director of the OpenTheGovernment.org coalition.
Guidance bars lobbyists from advisory panels
In proposed guidance, the Office of Management and Budget is following up on President Obama's June memorandum barring lobbyists from serving on federal advisory commissions.
Registered lobbyists already on such panels will not be booted, but cannot be reappointed once their terms are up, according to the guidance, which was published in the Nov. 2 Federal Register.
Anyone who becomes a lobbyist while serving on a commission will have to resign or face removal.
One loophole could surface on appointments by state governors or members of Congress. While the discretion of such outside appointing authorities will be respected, OMB says, those authorities "should be encouraged" to name individuals who are not lobbyists.
DHS soliciting bids for next-gen IT services
The Department of Homeland Security is soliciting bids on its next-generation, $22 billion contract for information technology services.
The five-year Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for Leading Edge Solutions II (EAGLE II) contract has three categories: development and delivery of services; technical support for those services; and independent evaluation on the cost-effectiveness of those services.
Questions on the solicitation are due by Nov. 15. Bids are due Jan. 11 for the unrestricted source category and by Jan. 18 for the small-business category.
Contractors coalition honors two feds
A coalition of government contractors honored two feds last week for their work in partnering with the private sector and maintaining a spirit of collaboration in the contracting process.
Charlie Williams, director of the Defense Contract Management Agency, and Soraya Correa, director of the Office of Procurement Operations at the Department of Homeland Security, were honored at the 8th Annual Greater Washington Government Contractor Awards.
Stan Soloway, president and CEO of the Professional Services Council, one of the event's hosts, said that Correa and Williams embodied professionalism and dedication to mission.
"Both have repeatedly demonstrated that one can stay entirely true to the procurement rules and the taxpayers' best interests while also maintaining an open, collaborative line of communications with the private sector," Soloway said.
Only 20% of overseas air cargo checked
Billions of pounds of packages bound for the U.S. each year are delivered on passenger flights in which cargo is checked with an electronic system that does not screen for bombs, lawmakers and security experts said last week.
The Department of Homeland Security uses computers to identify possibly dangerous cargo, usually after flights already in the air and en route to the U.S.
"That's too late. A bomb will go off while a plane is in the air," said aviation security consultant Glen Winn, a former United Airlines security chief.
The tracking system is under scrutiny following last month's plot to sneak bombs into U.S.-bound planes using cargo packages sent from Yemen. At some overseas airports, cargo is checked for bombs before being put on planes, but that screening could be below U.S. security standards, according to the Government Accountability Office.
About 20 percent of the 9 billion pounds of air cargo that comes from overseas each year is physically checked for bombs, according to the Transportation Security Administration.
Google sues Interior over bidding for e-mail system
Search giant Google claims the Interior Department's bidding process for a new e-mail system is "unduly restrictive of competition," according to a lawsuit filed with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.
In the Oct. 29 lawsuit, Google said it is at a disadvantage because Interior requires a Microsoft solution to support some 88,000 users on the new system.
The contract ceiling is $59.3 million over five years, according to the lawsuit.
"Google is a proponent of open competition ... in the technology sector in general," said a Google spokesperson in a statement. "A fair and open process could save U.S. taxpayers tens of millions of dollars and result in better services. We're asking the Department of Interior to allow for a true competition when selecting its providers."
The company asked the court to prohibit Interior from proceeding with the bidding process.
An Interior spokeswoman said she had no comment on the lawsuit. A Microsoft spokesperson also declined to comment.
Partnership council stalls on telework policy role
The effort to use labor-management partnership councils to increase teleworking opportunities may be over before it had a chance to begin.
At the Nov. 3 meeting of the National Council on Federal Labor-Management Relations, labor representatives and administration officials appeared divided on the partnerships' role.
American Federation of Government Employees President John Gage said the partnerships should focus on eliminating broad telework obstacles, such as concerns about security, and create more opportunities for employees to work from home on a regular basis.
He dismissed any effort to limit partnerships' role to the issue of expanding the use of mobile workdays or teleworking during snowstorms and other government-closing emergencies.
"I'm not interested in talking about a mobile workday," Gage said. "It sounds like you're just going to try to charge employees leave [during snowstorms]. If you can work at home on a snow day, you can work at home on a beautiful day in July."
But Jeffrey Zients, acting director of the Office of Management and Budget, said it's up to the White House to set government-wide telework policy, and mobile workday plans were more in the partnership council's jurisdiction.
Watchdog calls on SEC to put reports online
The Project on Government Oversight is accusing the Securities and Exchange Commission of inadequate disclosure.
Although semiannual reports from the commission's inspector general document dozens of investigative reports issued to SEC management over the past two years, the IG's website lists only eight such reports since last year and none before then, POGO said on its blog last week.
Even when investigative reports which look into allegations of misconduct by SEC staff and contractors are made public, key details are sometimes withheld, POGO said. In a report on SEC's investigation of Allied Capital, for example, the commission redacted the name of a former SEC official who became an Allied lobbyist, then illegally attempted to access a hedge fund manager's phone records. The ex-official's name had been disclosed in media reports and a book.
SEC officials could not be reached for comment.
OMB reminder to agencies: Share data, protect privacy
Agencies must find ways to improve data-sharing while at the same time protecting individual privacy, the Office of Management and Budget said in a Nov. 3 memo.
While sharing data can improve decision-making and government efficiency, "all participants must comply with applicable privacy laws, regulations and policy," according to the document, signed by acting OMB Director Jeffrey Zients and Cass Sunstein, head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
NASA's Mars rovers are on the cloud
NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Project is the agency's first space mission to use cloud computing for its daily operations.
The project team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is working with Amazon.com to use cloud computing software and data for the rovers, which landed on Mars in 2004.
Cloud-based solutions will allow NASA to access services on demand and pay for only what is used.
Former Army engineer sentenced for bribery
A former engineer with Army Space and Missile Defense Command was sentenced last week to 20 months in jail for accepting bribes and evading taxes.
Steven Early Bryant, 39, was ordered to pay $200,000 in restitution to the government and a $5,000 fine.
Bryant pleaded guilty in July to accepting bribes in relation to the command's contracts providing material for missile defense research.

Gluten Free Snack Product Review-Boomi and Prana Bars
Erin | Jan 25, 2010 | Comments 0
Living gluten free can sometimes prove challenging to having "grab and go" type snacks. I did go over a few of my favorites in my "top 10 portable gluten free snack" article. However, I know sometimes the urge to snatch a prepackaged treat off the shelf can hit. For those occasions, the folks at Divine Foods present the Boomi and Prana bars.
Jessica at Divine Foods very kindly sent me 2 complimentary bars to review: the Prana Bar in coconut Acai flavor, and the Boomi Bar in Cashew Almond.
The bars claim to fame is that they are 100% natural, and both are gluten free.
They are slightly different in composition, texture and ingredient.
Boomi Bar: per the label: Gluten Free "Energy Bar"
Ingredients: Almonds, Cashews, Honey, Dates, crisped Rice, puffed amaranth, and salt.
Nutrition facts: 260 calories, 14 grams of fat, 23 grams of carbs (1 fiber) and 8 grams of protein.
The Boomi bar has a chunky nutty flavor which I like. Akin to the Kind bar in the sense of big chunks. It is VERY sweet. And I like sweet. This was almost too sweet for me, and that's hard to do. I like the ingredients, and I really wanted to like these bars. I think the theory is great. But in practice, I see this more of a treat kind of bar. "Energy" bar-yes, in the sense that you're getting calories, and being as there is no actual definition for "energy bar" I see no problem with that. It contains healthful ingredients, but don't think this is like having an apple. This is very calorie dense for the size-eating one goes very quickly. I can see having this as a treat with a cup of coffee, or maybe for kids before/after sports to get some quick and easy calories in.
The Prana bar : per the label: Organic "Energy" bar
Ingredients: organic almond butter, organic agave nectar, organic date paste, organic dried coconut, organic almonds, organic raisins, organic puffed amaranth, organic acai dry powder, sea salt.
Nutrition facts: 220 calories, 13 grams of fat, 26 grams of carbs (3 fiber) and 4 grams of protein.
The Prana bar has a much more smooth and chewy texture, no big chunks. It did have some coconut texture. Again, very, very sweet. I was a little turned off right away by the fact that they were jumping on the ACAI SUPERFOOD ZOMG! bandwagon, especially seeing as it is the second to last ingredient. Call me skeptical. As far as the agave goes, again this seems to be a "hot" ingredient right now, and almost as controversial as it is popular. Check out this great article by Tamara Duker on the agave dust-up.
Overall, I think these have their place as a TREAT. I would not consider them a meal replacement by any stretch of the imagination. Think of them as a slightly healthier version of a candy bar.

We listened to a great podcast today with Jason Stall, an independent filmmaker who talked with Music Technology Policy's Chris Castle about his recent documentary, Blood Into Wine, and how content theft has affected his work and the commercial success of his films.
After talking briefly about what went into creating Blood Into Wine, a documentary about Maynard James Keenan, a singer turned successful winemaker, Castle got right down to business, bluntly asking Stall, "When you released the picture, was it pirated?" Stall laughed before he replied with the inevitable yes: "I wish I was more shocked but even during the time we were screening it in the theaters, a copy that had been signed for and everything else had made it out before we were even done with our theatrical screening… We thought we had done everything [to prevent content theft] but we turned our heads for a second and it was out there… the explosion was crazy.""Once we had a DVD release, within the first week a site popped up that had 23,000 downloads within a very short period of time," he said.To help listeners fully understand the way in which content theft affects independent filmmakers, Stall explained the process step by step: "When you can no longer present on the front end a business model that has a potential as a return for anybody, it becomes pretty hard to find the investors, so that's the money side of it. Then let's take the creative side. If you can't raise the money you did before, quality is going to go down, quantity is going to go down and you've crushed the creative process."
Independent filmmakers like Jason Stall depend on the revenue they earn from viewers who pay to watch their movies and documentaries.
When their films are stolen at such an overwhelming rate, it becomes much more difficult for producers like Jason to persuade investors to back future projects – meaning fewer great new films for all of us.

Minn. officer shot during domestic dies
Officer Shawn Schneider, 32, was in critical condition for nearly two weeks
By PoliceOne Staff
LAKE CITY, Minn. — A critically injured Lake City police officer died Friday night after nearly two weeks in the hospital, a Mayo Clinic spokesperson said.
Officer Shawn Schneider, 32, was shot in the head Dec. 19 while responding to a reported domestic incident.
Alan J. Sylte, 25, fired at Schneider and returned to the inside of his home, launching an hours-long standoff involving more than 100 local officers, the Republican Eagle reported. Officials found Sylte's body that evening and medical examiners determined that he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Several candelight vigils were held in Schneider's honor as he remained in the hospital following the shooting, and police were impressed with the community's remarkable ability to unite during the trying period, they told the Star Tribune.
Contributions to help Schneider's family can be sent to Alliance Bank, c/o Kathy Moyer, 105 E. Lyon Av., Lake City, MN 55401.

Does writing "See ID" on your card really work?
PORTLAND, Ore. - Many people write "See ID" on the back of their credits cards, a simple phrase they hope will protect them from identity theft, but does it work?
KATU News decided to put the method to the test, so we had our producer put the phrase on the back of her husband's credit card and then do some shopping, all with an undercover camera capturing what happened at each store she visited.
We began our day at two popular coffee shops in northeast Portland. Known for their fast service, we were in and out of both locations within minutes, without the baristas ever looking at the name on the card.
At a pharmacy chain across the street, it was even easier because there you do not hand the cashier a card, you swipe it yourself. Also, for purchases under $25, you do not even have to sign a receipt.
Next, we headed to a popular retail discount store where our ticket totaled around $50. We thought charging a higher amount might matter. Again, our producer handled her own transaction - inserting the credit card into a reader without the clerk ever asking to see it.
Business after business, no one questioned a woman using a man's credit card with the words "See ID" written on the back.
At the Tanasbourne Old Navy store in Beaverton, we got our hopes up as we made another $50 purchase. The cashier asked to see our producer's credit card and followed up by asking for identification.
Our producer handed the cashier her driver's license, which has her maiden name, not her married name. The clerk held both cards up side by side and, despite the non-matching information, proceeded with the transaction.
Old Navy is a branch of GAP, Inc. and here was their response:
In all, we got away with buying coffee, pastries, hand cream, books, CDs, a calendar, a purse and clothing, nearly $200 worth of merchandise, using someone else's credit card.
We showed our footage to identity theft expert Chuck Whitlock and he said part of the problem is that when identity theft occurs, the store suffers no loss. As long as the credit card is approved, the merchant gets their money.
Granted, this was hardly a scientific study, but only three out of the 10 businesses we went to refused to make the transaction.
One business that passed the test was Circuit City in Clackamas, where we tried to buy a $100 external hard drive. Once the cashier there asked for our producer's identification, and realized the information did not match, she politely turned us away.
Another business that did the right thing was the Nordstrom store at the Lloyd Center mall. The sales girl there was in the midst of multiple distractions - other customers with questions, a phone ringing - but she still took the time to look at the credit card and ask for identification. When she saw the names did not match, she very tactfully said she could not make the transaction for us. The same thing happened at the Nordstrom store in Clackamas.
Nordstrom's corporate office did not want to comment, but a store employee told KATU News that combating identity theft is covered in the employee training handbook as part of customer service.
So what is the lesson in all of this? The convenience of using credit cards comes at a price and unless store policies change, you are largely on your own when it comes to protecting your identity.
Some stores even have policies forbidding their clerks from asking to see someone's identification because they do not want a rogue employee gathering too much information about their customers.
Starting Jan. 1, the Oregon Identity Theft Protection Act will require companies to put in ironclad protections for personal information that will also impose stiff penalties for security breaches.

The Times-Leader reports ( http://bit.ly/106WEru) U.S. District Judge Yvette Kane has appointed attorneys James Swetz and Mark Fleming to represent Jessie Con-Ui, who hasn't been charged. The 36-year-old inmate has been moved to the federal Supermax prison in Colorado.
Officials say Con-Ui is the suspect in the Feb. 25 killing of Corrections Officer Eric Williams, who was working in a housing unit at the federal prison in Wayne County when an inmate using a homemade weapon attacked him.
Con-Ui had been jailed for his role in an Arizona drug-trafficking operation. He was scheduled to complete the sentence in September and would have been returned to Arizona to serve a life term for a 2002 murder.

How can we make these vacation offers?
We are able to extend this incredible offer because some travel providers have decided that they want to monetize their unsold space. Hotels anticipate that a certain portion of their capacity will remain unsold. An average hotel is usually 80% booked. Rather than letting the remaining 20% of the rooms sit empty they prefer to give them away. The higher the occupancy rate the higher the sale of the other services they provide, like gift shops, bars, restaurant, etc. However you are not required to make any purchase. In addition studies have shown that if vacationers enjoyed their first visit they will return for another vacation. Also they will tell there family and friends about their wonderful trip.
This is a win-win situation for both the hotels and the consumers
3 Day / 2 Night Vacation Getaway

for you to give to your customers to increase leads and create sales.

Senior Airman Matt Morrow, an aerial gunner from the 33rd Rescue Squadron at Kadena Air Base, Japan, scans the Sri Lankan horizon during tsunami relief operations. Aerial gunner is one of the 30 fields on the CJR restricted list. (Air Force)
- Filed Under
The Air Force has nearly doubled the number of career fields that will face tougher re-enlistment limits for first-term airmen looking to re-enlist.
Air Force Personnel Center officials announced that 30 career fields will have career jobs reservation restrictions for fiscal 2013. That's up from the 17 Air Force Specialty Codes on the CJR list announced in February. Five careers from that list are no longer there, 12 are still there and 18 new ones were added.
All first-term airmen need a CJR to re-enlist, but historic high retention has forced the service to limit the number of CJRs in some career fields. The CJR program helps the Air Force control the number of first-term airmen allowed to re-enlist in careers that are already overmanned, said Michael McLaughlin, AFPC Air Force Re-enlistment Branch chief, in a news release.
CJR selections are based on current grade, projected grade and total active military service. An airman with an unfavorable information file is automatically disqualified. The window for reservations begins in an airman's 35th month if enlisting on a four-year contract or the 59th month for airmen on a six-year contract.
Airmen selected by their commanders for re-enlistment will automatically be considered for a CJR, but airmen who are not selected will be considered the following month. CJRs are awarded the 25th of each month.
"If you aren't selected … that doesn't mean that your career is over," McLaughlin said. "In addition to being considered the next month, you can always apply for retraining or a special-duty assignment."
McLaughlin said airmen should seek out retraining and special-duty assignments to develop new skills and leadership abilities.
NCO deadlines approach
First-term airmen are not the only ones facing big career decisions. The Air Force announced in August that it needed more than 1,400 E-5s and E-6s to move from overmanned career fields to those with shortages as part of its annual NCO Retraining program, or NCOR.
Thousands of airmen were notified that they were on the service's master vulnerability list of more than 3,500 airmen and subject to involuntary retraining in fiscal 2013.
So far, the Air Force has filled about 61 percent of the slots through airmen who volunteered to retrain. Some airmen were forced to retrain into restricted career fields. The service will fill its quota of 539 unrestricted slots through an involuntary phase of the program that began Oct. 6.
Eighteen career fields were added to the career jobs reservation program, and 12 remain from the list released in February. The list includes 25 overmanned career fields on the NCO retraining list, which are marked with an asterisk. The new Air Force specialties are highlighted in bold:
1A7X1 Aerial gunner

WalletKit was one of the most recent batch of 500 Startups graduates, emerging from the incubator with some funding and renewed conviction about the path ahead. That newest batch of fledgling teams was notable for containing four Indian startups, and WalletKit also counts as one of those.
The co-founder and CEO of WalletKit, which is a platform for creating good-looking cards for Apple's Passbook or Google Wallet – is Kevin William David (pictured above). He tells us that it was useful being among fellow entrepreneurs from India:
Being around three other Indian startups has been really beneficial. All of us are in the same boat, trying to get customers, meet investors. Some of the Indian founders have done a successful startup and raised money before. Also being a part of a batch with startups from across the globe from various industries and expertise has helped a lot. You get to learn from each one of them on their experiences with each passing day.
WalletKit is now a team of five and, like a number of 500 Startups graduates, has opted to move to San Francisco soon (from Chennai) so as to be closer to the team's prospective clients.
The service lets businesses make customized virtual boarding passes, tickets, store cards, and coupons for various mobile wallet platforms. Moreover, it gives retailers and other companies a way to analyze the usage and redemption of these kinds of digital tokens. Kevin says that users can make the first 500 Passbook-style passes for free before the startup's tiered pricing kicks in. With mobile wallets being so fragmented right now across dozens of emerging providers, WalletKit aims to be a constant and affordable way for businesses to serve up these passes to their customers.
Stalking into 500 Startups
Kevin and co-founder Ramakanth are both 23 years old and from Chennai, and only graduated from college last year. Getting into 500 Startups was an initial aim of theirs, and Kevin explains that it required some cunning and planning:
We stalked one of the 500 Startups partners at his hotel when he was in India figuring out his hotel location by his tweets. We made a customized pitch book for each partner at 500 along with a poster of their life-size cartoons. Pitched him in his cab all the way to the airport. Three weeks later we were invited to the US to be a part of the current accelerator.
That occured a couple of months before 500 Startups became more firmly entrenched in India by opening the StartupWallah fund to pump US$5 million into startups in the nation. So for future Indian entrants, perhaps they'll only need to drop an email to 500 Startup venture partner Pankaj Jain to begin their journey into incubation.
The other three Indian startups that toiled along side WalletKit were GazeMetrix, Instamojo, TradeBriefs. In the past, 500 Startups nurtured the Indian team behind Teliportme. Looking outside of India, another one to emerge earlier this month was the clever Chinese-English translation app Waigo, which we reviewed last year.
The next – and fifth – batch is now being recruited by Dave McClure's incubator, and submissions are open until March 1st. That gives Indian startups one more week to be able to follow WalletKit and other graduates into the program.

Lemurs Live in Trees
Lemurs are the most primitive members of the order 'primates' which includes the monkeys. Today, lemurs are found in Madagascar, Africa and parts of Asia. At one time, they also lived in America and Europe where they fossil remains have been found.
Lemurs differ from other primates in having a long fox-like face and a long claw instead of a nail on the second toe. All the lemurs live in trees.
Lemurs live on a mixed diet which may include fruit, seeds, insects, bird's eggs, or meat. Some of them are active in the day time and some are active at night.
There are many different kinds of lemurs. One large lemur lives in Madagascar and is called the "Sifaka". It is brightly colored- white with black, red or brown markings.
There is a fold of skin between its arms and body that is probably a help to it in its long leaps from one tree to another.
Another group of lemurs is called the "true lemurs", of which 13 kinds live in Madagascar. They have long tails and vary greatly in color.
The smallest of the lemurs has a body five inches long and tail six inches long. It is known as the "mouse lemur". These little animals store fat around the base of the tail in good times. During the dry season when food is scarce, they sleep in a hollow tree, living on the fat in the tail.
The aye-aye is very different from other Madagascar lemurs. It has very large ears, long coarse fur, a long bushy tail, and long fingers. One kind of lemur, the tarsier, has a neck so flexible that, without turning its body, it can turn its head to look backwards.

Politicians as a species are verbally robust, but North Coast congressional candidates are flocking to Twitter, the social media site that limits tweets to 140 characters.
Tiffany Ren?, the Petaluma vice mayor, is the undisputed tweeting leader among the eight candidates actively seeking the seat Lynn Woolsey is vacating this year.
Ren? has posted more than 5,200 tweets since May, 2008. And she has more than 1,750 followers on Twitter, the San Francisco-based site launched in 2006 that now claims 100 million active users worldwide.
In second place among Democrats competing in the 2nd Congressional District is Marin activist Norman Solomon, with more than 1,050 tweets and 825 followers.
Establishing a Twitter account is free and easy, with unlimited tweeting capacity and freedom to "follow" or subscribe to the tweets of others.
No one else comes close, and Republican Dan Roberts of Marin County, who has a red, white and blue, stars and stripes backdrop on his Twitter home page, hasn't tweeted once.
Asked by phone if he could respond to a reporter's tweet for this story, Roberts said: "First I'd have to find it."
He's not alone in the Twitter wilderness.
"I didn't know I had a Twitter account," said Rep. Mike Thompson, D-St. Helena, who is running for re-election in an inland district that includes Santa Rosa.
A staffer said the account was created in case Thompson ever wanted to use it. The seven-term incumbent said he posts to Facebook once or twice a day. But his busy schedule precludes lengthy engagement with Twitter.

Texas Road Network
Texas is the second-largest state of the United States of America spreading over an area of 268,601 sq. mi. in the south-western region.
Interstate 10 (878.7 mi), being the longest highway in Texas extends over the entire state form El Paso to Orange. The interstate connects major cities like El Paso, San Antonio, Houston and all. Some of the other interstates in Texas are Interstate 20, Interstate 35, Interstate 40, Interstate 110, Interstate 610, Interstate 820 and many more. The State Highway system of Texas is classified as SH (State Highways), SP (Spurs) and LP (Loops).
Located in south-western part of Houston near Loop 610, the US 59 is considered as the busiest highway in Texas.
The road network of the state involves more than 79, 535 miles of public highway. These highways are provided with specialized features to reduce rush hour congestion. The HOV (high-occupancy-vehicle) lanes are the special roads where only pooled vehicles are allowed for smoother flow of traffic. Texas T is a unique feature of Texas free-ways, which is basically a specialized ramp design to facilitate smoother regulation of traffic in HOV lanes. Another integral feature of Texas free-ways are frontage roads or feeder roads, which allow easier access to individual city streets from the free-ways.

Mavericks open summer league play Sunday vs. Denver
From Mavericks beat writer Eddie Sefko
Summer team departs: The Mavericks' summer-league team takes off Saturday for Las Vegas, where it will compete in five games as part of the NBA Summer League.
The squad is highlighted by draft picks Jared Cunningham, Jae Crowder and Bernard James, as well as Dominique Jones, who is going to his third season with the team.
"I told these guys here that 28 years ago when I went into a rookie camp like this, Red Auerbach stepped into the room and said, 'We can only go by what we see, so whatever you do, do it to the best of your ability and give us the best chance to evaluate you,'" coach Rick Carlisle said. "So that's what we've asked them to do. We're certainly going to work with guys to help get them better every day, but whatever's gotten them to this point is what we need them to do well and we'll work with them on the other things going forward."
The Mavericks' first summer league game is at 5 p.m. Sunday against Denver. The game will be shown on NBA TV.

Stat Pack Podcast: Texans Blown Out of Super Bowl Contention?
After one week out of action, Adam Dobrowolski is back with an increased hunger for football and a pile of statistical bombshells from the past week of pigskin paradise. (Rumors are not true: the emergency was not caused by the annual sneak peak at the real and spectacular twins from the nearby gentlemen's club.)
Like anyone who's sent out of action for a period of time, the return comes with a revenge. In the Week 15 edition of Stat Pack, Dobrowolski explains why the Texans perhaps played themselves out of legitimate Super Bowl contention. The 42-14 loss in New England tells us a lot more than what ails Houston schematically, he claims. In fact, only two teams in NFL history won the Super Bowl after losing multiple games by 18 points or more: the 1979 Steelers and 2007 Giants. The 2012 Texans must keep that in mind as they try to win the Lombardi Trophy. Bottom line, championship teams rarely get blown out, even against the league's top teams. The first 46 Super Bowl champions lost a combined 22 games by 17 points or more.
Meanwhile, Dobrowolski takes a look back to the one quarterback who *still* owns a better rookie resume than Robert Griffin III. The late Greg Cook held over a 50 percent advantage in Passing Yards per Attempt on the rest of the AFL in 1969, something which even puts The Third to shame. The Stat Pack puts both rookie seasons under a microscope, and speculates if Griffin will have the best rookie season ever when the year is complete.
Also, with all the rage for Adrian Peterson's recent tear, Dobrowolski looks at another young running back making an early case for Canton. Last year's Judas Priest-inspired article should give a nice prelude to the Hall of Fame case for Jamaal Charles.
Finally, Dobrowolski tackles the individual awards race, the NFC playoff race and six power-packed showdowns for Week 15. We're turbo pumped for this edition of Stat Pack!
For those who are interested in checking out bits and pieces of this week's podcasts, every edition will include a "playlist" of sorts breaking down every segment from the podcast.

- 23:40 -- Why RG3 still needs to surpass one QB for best rookie season ever
- 27:35 -- Why Jamaal Charles is building a Hall of Fame resume
31:40 to 36:30 -- Six Pack of the NFL's Best Teams (New England Patriots, Houston Texans, Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers, Seattle Seahawks)

San Diego Troubadour on PreSonuSphere
November 29,2012
[Sven-Erik Seaholm, Executive Wordsmith over at San Diego Troubadour, flew out to Baton Rouge for PreSonuSphere and created a nice writeup on his experience.]
As my flight lifts off from the Baton Rouge runway, a silvery trickle of sunlight glints along the plane's wing (of which I have a perfect view) and suddenly splashes into my eyes with the blinding sting of organic hotel shampoo. Lying back, I think about the events from the last two days and wonder if I'll ever be able to digest all of the info and experiences I feasted on like Thursday's jambalaya…
Regular readers of this column know that in addition to the techniques and philosophies discussed here, we also cover a lot of different gear from a variety of manufacturers. Microphones to headphones, keyboards to plug-ins; if it helps you make better music and recordings we try to cover it. That said, there are a few companies whose products have been featured here numerous times. None more so than those from PreSonus (www.presonus.com).
Most recently, we looked at their StudioLive 16.0.2 mixer and StudioOne 2 digital audio workstation software. We highlighted these particular products for three specific reasons: the amount of power being placed into the hands of the "average" musician or recordist, the company's very reasonable price points and the ingenuity and elegance with which their solutions are rendered.
When I heard they were hosting a two-day event called PreSonuSphere, an interactive conference where users would not only attend information-drenched presentations and receive hands-on training with PreSonus' line of mixers and software solutions, but would actually be able to interact with the developers of these products as well, I knew I had to go.

This girl deserves appreciation for the great job she's doing. Why watch "professional" porn when it's amateurs like her who are really, really good? Girls, if any of you happen to watch this (not likely), THIS is how it's done. Awesome!
>>i don't think that is the first cock she has sucked Well, and looking at her profession, it was not the last...
i don't really think she's enjoying it. it looks like pain for me...
She sucks like my girlfriend suck me.
Can anyone tell me the name of the song in the background? Thanks
good girl, woulda been better if she'd taken the cum down her throat and swallowed
Wish my man was home right now! After watching this all I want is a big fat cock shoved down my throat just like that! Especially the end! How he forced her to keep going OMG I NEED a cock in my mouth NOW!!!
i wish i could deep throat someone like that and let them fill my mouth with cum look's so yummy.
How the hell does he keep it so soft? I'd be rock hard in 2 seconds flat

boooo, he's not even hard. cheaters.
That's every man dream woman. Just amazing.
oh u made me cum so quick bby
I want her to do me- she is fab
This is the best date.
T-baggin much>
OMG i wanna fuck her mouth mmmm and cum all over her face great vid
this woman know how to suck..*___*
Very nice! I loved how she finished him off...and swallowed as if it was nothing...then a smile..obviously she loves cocksucking, and the taste of a mans juices...cant fake that...
nice cock and cumshot! if his cock looks so beautiful i'll bet he has a beautiful asshole to suck on ;0...
This is how a man should be pleased. She is so maryable....
I havae been looking for a woman that could do something like this to me for years. Granted, my cock is definitely longer and thicker.....but there HAS to be a lady out there that could do this to a bigger cock, like mine? I just gotta find the California girl that can and will.
this is real love!!!

Well, gee, having bought this dangerous gun, I'm surprised that it didn't take command of his mind and force him run off and start shooting people at random like these weapons do every minute of every day in every other state and city all over the entire world. What, that doesn't happen? You can't be serious!

No no, you don't understand. The GUNS get up on their litle gun legs and run out and wreak havok. THe owner is just there trying to herd the gun back home.

Like I said before, the only reason he changed the purchase to a straw purchase (illegal under federal law no matter who the recipient is) is because he got caught buying the rifle and handgun. Now all of a sudden he is on TV claiming he "intended" to buy it for the purpose of giving it to the Police Department, That would mean he had the direct intent to violate federal law, but with this Attorney General he will never get prosecuted, he will be able to violate the law and walk away scott free. He is now also claiming he is a supporter of the second amendment…Well which is it asstronaut boy? Either your for gun control and following the law or your a liberal who believes he is above the law. Hypocrite meter on the top peg for this libturd.

Wait. Why would anyone buy a gun and theimmediately turnit over to the cops? Is he trying to get some cash for a buy back? WHatevr his agenda, the only thing that makes sense is that he bought the gun and got busted with it, Strange. Military, including astronauts, used to have integrity.

Space Boy has gotten busted and with the picture of wifey holding the same weapon there is no way that he can stick to the claims he has made. They have had their "lives and lies" exposed. Now its damage control and covering their asses.

text: By IRV OSLIN T-G Staff Writer The City Fire Department sent seven people to man the fort at the Wellington Fire Department Tuesday while members of that department attended services for a fallen comrade. Wellington volunteer firefighter Al Buz Anderson died during last weeks flooding trying to rescue two teens trapped in a vehicle in fast-moving water. The City Fire Department sent a truck to Wellingtons second fire station on the north end of town, according to Chief Mark Burgess, who was among the seven who made the trip. They manned the station from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Burgess was joined by Capt. Tom Smith, Capt. Chris King, Rick Anderson, Joe Coseno, Chad Buzzard and Ken Gardner. Gardner has family ties with fire departments in Lorain County. His father is a lieutenant at the Wellington Fire Department and his uncle is a chief at the Carlisle Township Fire Department. It was nice to be able to do something for them, Burgess said. You could see in their faces when we pulled up that it hit them hard. The Wellington firefighters had pizza at the fire station for the Ashland contingent. They also arranged to have a water department employee on station to give them directions if any calls came in. None did. Andersons procession passed near the fire station, and the Ashland firefighters were able to walk up the road to pay their respects as it passed on Ohio 58, according to Burgess. There they were approached by a man from Huron, who drove to Wellington to pay his respects and donate to a fund for Anderson. He asked where to make a donation, and we didnt know, Burgess said. They took the man back to the fire station, where the water department employee was able to direct him to the bank where donations were being taken. Its great the way it works out, Burgess said. In a situation like that, everybody steps up. Although there was plenty of manpower available back in Ashland, other firefighters offered to be on standby just in case. The Wayne County Firefighters Association offered to send some men over, but they were not needed, Burgess said. The Cleveland firefighters union also offered to man the station if necessary. n Irv Oslin can be reached at 419-281-0581 ext. 240 or at ioslin@ times-gazette.com.

If you like weird pop culture things, you're probably eagerly anticipating the release of Spring Breakers, a film directed by Harmony Korine that stars people as varied as Disney princess Selena Gomez and Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane (in his cinematic debut, no less). I happen to love weird pop culture things, so to celebrate the film, we're going to take a look at the handbag collection of Vanessa Hudgens, who plays one of Gomez's debauched friends in film. If you like fringe, you're in the right place.
Vanessa's personal style is pretty much All Coachella, All The Time; when left to her own devices, she generally looks like she'd rather be sitting in the California desert and listening to some live music than doing whatever it is she's actually doing at the time. I can't say I identify with it personally, but if you've got a bit of hippie chick in you, this one's going to be right up your alley.
Slide 1 / 31
I always try to start where I think the celeb in question would want me to start, and I don't think I love anything on this earth as much as Vanessa loves fringe. My favorite of her (many) fringe-y bags is this Botkier Morgan Fringed Satchel. Shop Botkier via Bloomingdale's.
Slide 2 / 31
In general, Hudgens seems to prefer her fringe in small crossbody form, like with this beaded suede Lucky Brand Get Laced Fringe Bag. Shop Lucky Brand via Zappos.
Slide 3 / 31
For Vanessa, one tan suede fringe bag is not enough, which is why she also has the Sabrina Tach Shredded Suede Bag. Shop Sabrina Tach bags via Etsy.
Slide 4 / 31
For a slight change, how about some tan leather fringe? Vanessa's got it covered with this Cole Haan Crossbody Bag. Shop Cole Haan bags via Nordstrom.
Slide 5 / 31
Relative to Vanessa's other bags, the tassel on this brown suede Ruehl No. 925 Walker Cacao Bag is a pretty small amount of fringe.
Slide 6 / 31
Of course, a craving for grey fringe can also be accommodated by Vanessa's collection, like with this Antik Batik Juddy Fringed Bag. Shop Antik Batik bags via ShopBop.
Slide 7 / 31
This Cleobella Aduma Fringe Handbag is perhaps the most ladylike implementation of fringe I've ever seen. Shop Cleobella via ShopBop.
Slide 8 / 31
Is that a bit of fringe I spy on the Jimmy Choo Roxana Bag? Shop Jimmy Choo via Net-a-Porter.
Slide 9 / 31
In case it weren't already clear that Vanessa's a hippie, check out her Lauren Moshi Free Love Taylor Tote. Pick one up for $87 via Boutique to You.
Slide 10 / 31
Even when they aren't covered in strips of suede, Vanessa likes a mini crossbody, like this Chanel St. Tropez Shoulder Bag.
Slide 11 / 31
Vanessa likes this positively tiny Cole Haan Phoebe Leather Crossbody so much that she regularly carries it in two colors. First, black. Shop Cole Haan bags via Nordstrom.
Slide 12 / 31
Naturally, she also has tan.
Slide 13 / 31
Don't worry, this collection isn't just neutrals - how about a Linea Pelle Dylan Quilted Crossbody? Pick up a similar Linea Pelle crossbody a 6pm for $125.
Slide 14 / 31
Ok, so it's mostly neutrals. Vanessa carried a very pretty blue Diane von Furstenberg Mini 440 Bag to the designer's most recent show, though. Shop DVF via ShopBop.
Slide 15 / 31
Vanessa also carried a petite Alice and Olivia Shoulder Bag to the designer's Fall 2013 show.
Slide 16 / 31
Continuing on her fashion show bender, Vanessa carried a Marc Jacobs Bicolor Clutch to Jacobs' Fall 2011 show. $875 via Yoox.
Slide 17 / 31
Mostly, though, it's all neutral, casual bags for Vanessa, like this Alexander Wang Diego Bucket Bag. Buy through ShopBop for $850.
Slide 18 / 31
Perhaps surprisingly, the bag that appears to be Vanessa's time-tested favorite in her entire collection doesn't seem to be a crossbody at all. Instead, it's this Balenciaga Giant Part Time Bag. Buy a dark green version for $1,945 via MyTheresa.
Slide 19 / 31
Vanessa has a well-developed appreciation for Balenciaga. She also uses a Balenciaga Weekender Bag for travel. Buy through Neiman Marcus for $1,845.
Slide 20 / 31
I wish I had Vanessa's Balenciaga Midday Bag for myself - the brand no longer makes this shape. Shop Balenciaga via Neiman Marcus.
Slide 21 / 31
Despite her penchant for casualness, Vanessa cleans up quit well. She looks so pretty in this Jenny Packham dress and Daniel Swarovski Dedicace Clutch.
Slide 22 / 31
This Salvatore Ferragamo Etched Box Clutch looks almost like it were woven out of fringe, which seems appropriate. Shop Ferragamo via Neiman Marcus.
Slide 23 / 31
Sometimes, Vanessa takes her love for tan in a more high-end direction, like with this Louis Vuitton Stephen Monogram Embossed Cuir Bag.
Slide 24 / 31
Ultimately, though, Vanessa's most consistent affections seem to stay with contemporary bags like the JJ Winters Suede Zip Bag. Shop via JJ Winters.
Slide 25 / 31
The Linea Pelle Dylan Tote also fits in well with Vanessa's style. Buy for $495 via The Trend Boutique.
Slide 26 / 31
We've saved some of the goodies for last, like this Miu Miu Bow Bag. Buy the black version for $1,495 via Net-a-Porter.
Slide 27 / 31
Even if your style is much different than Vanessa's, this Fendi Unzipped Zip It Satchel is pretty cute. Shop Fendi via Neiman Marcus.
Slide 28 / 31
We already mentioned one of her Chanel bags, but Vanessa seems to have some affection for the brand. Here she is with a Chanel Classic Flap Bag.
Slide 29 / 31
Is that a Vintage Chanel Backpack in Vanessa's hand? It sure looks like it.
Slide 30 / 31
If Vanessa wants to take her boho look more high-end, Givenchy's handbags are a good place to start. This Givenchy Melancholia Bag is a nice place to start. Shop Givenchy via Barneys.
Slide 31 / 31
Ultimately, I think a Givenchy Nightingale might be the perfect premium designer bag for Vanessa. Buy a Nightingale for $2,260 via Barneys.

Just thought i'd go through some basics for SCCM 2007 r2 during the installation.
Before installation, make sure your server has the following installed
- remote differential compression (under features)
- -ASP.NET (for the reporting)
- Windows authentication (for webdav)
- Basic Authentication (not used, but needed)
- WDS (DO NOT CONFIGURE, JUST INSTALL) (for pxe deployment, if required)
There is a whole bunch of stuff that can go wrong if you don't pre-prep your server correctly. from experience, doing the above before install, even though it verifies anyway really does help the process.
There is also configuration of IIS and webdav that will need to be done as well. there are a few great guides @ windows-noob.com (funny title for a great website that covers not-noob stuff) as well as the microsoft documentation.
- the idea with webdav is to essentially enable it, and allow anon access. thats the concept used, anyway.
This is only a small part of the references i intend on supplying, but its a good start.

Bad Ideas, Drinking, Law Schools, Rank Stupidity
Are there lots of people in law school who are under 21? Are there lots of people in law school who can't give legal consent for taking out hundreds of thousands in student loan money? Are there lots of people in law school who should have to ask for a hall pass before they go take a leak? Not many? Then maybe law students should be allowed to congregate and have a freaking beer without the administration threatening them with sanctions. Maybe the law school's policies regarding alcohol at student functions should be a little bit different than the policy of the undergraduate school. Maybe a group of legal educators should be able to DISTINGUISH between a law student and a college freshman.
A law school has come up with a set of embarrassing and ludicrous alcohol-related policies, and now it's threatening students who try to work around them…
Earlier this week, tipsters sent in a message from the SBA at George Washington University Law School. It's hard to explain how stupid GW is being here until you read it:
For those of you who may not know, the GW Center for Alcohol and other Drug Education (CADE) oversees all events with alcohol hosted by GW student groups. This office is part of the overall university; it is not an office within law school. CADE is responsible for developing and overseeing the policies governing events hosted by student groups that have alcohol. Last semester, the CADE office revised its master policy governing events with alcohol. The SBA was involved with every step of the process and advocated first for an individual graduate student policy, and when it was clear that this would not be possible for policies that would allow for maximum flexibility for the organizations within the law school. Ultimately although some aspects of the policy were changed favorably for graduate students, other aspects of the policy added costs and additional planning requirements for events with alcohol.
You can check out the full SBA letter, which describes new limits on events with alcohol, on the next page.
Why would an alcohol policy set for undergraduates, many of whom are underage, be applied to law students, nearly all of whom are legally allowed to drink? That's like not being allowed to drive because your little sister doesn't have a license. Different things are different, and having a one-size-fits-all alcohol policy is the height of bureaucratic nonsense replacing common sense.
Apparently the GW Law SBA was in "violation" of some of these policies for children. Papers were not filed. Undergraduates got their hands on some material suggesting law students would be drinking (gasp) on Thursdays. It's ticky-tack stuff, and it suggests that GW's real purpose is NOT to actually deal with alcoholism or alcohol abuse by the student body, it's to cover their ass in case the parents of a drunk teenager sue the school.
As a result of these violations, GW ordered the SBA to limit the number of events where alcohol is served. The limit (seven to ten events) effectively ends any kind of weekly law student get together (like a "bar review"), and it also means that student groups that get funding from the SBA will probably not be able to serve alcohol at their events. Again, GW Law is happy to take hundreds of thousands of dollars from these kids over three years, but GOD FORBID one of them gets their hands on a Heineken.
Fine, whatever, if students can't use student funds to do things the students want to do, that's GW's own stupidity. ADULTS at GW Law can still find a way to get together at a bar once a week if they like. Soon after GW brought down these ludicrous new rules, a tipster reported that students were doing what students do:
A little more than a day after the announcement went out, I got an invite to a Facebook group "Underground Bar Review." Went from 20 to nearly 700 members in 2 days. They've managed to put together the same specials the SBA was getting for this [T]hursday…, but without the SBA bar tab.
Is that not an elegant solution — creative lawyering at its best? Students organize on their own, get deals from local establishments, and go out for drinks.
Well, not only is GW against this, they're also apparently threatening the student organizers. Tipsters report this message went up on the "underground" Facebook group from one of the organizers:
Group Members,
It has come to my attention that administrators both within the law school and the undergrad have become aware of this group. While I am firmly of the belief that students should and are allowed to congregate outside of school as they see fit, it has become possible that the undergraduate administration will charge me with violations of their student conduct policy. Additionally, continuing with organizing this Thursday will likely jeopardize the remaining activities we have this year including Barristers, while simultaneously leading to new sanctions for next year as well.
I believe the undergraduate administration's response is unfair and ultimately indefensible. However, faced with this short term situation I feel the only course of action is to cancel this week's activity. I am additionally temporarily suspending posting within the group and changing the description (it appears at this point I cannot change the group name). I intend to resolve this situation in the coming days and hopefully continue to provide organization for activities at public locations.
I was truly excited about this idea and still think it has great potential as demonstrated by how quickly we were able to organize this week. It is my hope that we are back on track soon.
I am deeply sorry to anyone who is disappointed with this decision and want to wish everyone a fun a safe Thursday night regardless of where or what the endeavor may be.
Thanks for understanding.
ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? Where in the hell does the undergraduate administration get off threatening a law student with "sanctions" because he organized an OFF-CAMPUS event for other law students? What kind of Orwellian s**t is this? The university shouldn't have any authority to regulate legal off-campus behavior organized through an unaffiliated Facebook page. Could a reasonable GW Law student confuse this Facebook group with the "official" school-sponsored SBA? Not bloody likely, not when the "real" SBA is busy dancing a tarantella so everybody can see how the university treats them like children at an ice-cream mixer. I feel like GW has made its school-wide Volstead Act pretty freaking clear to reasonable adults.
Shouldn't there be a GW law professor who can step in and help the law students explain basic civil liberties to whatever power-drunk GW administrator is pushing the ball here? Can Jonathan Turley spare a second? Can John Banzhaf roll onto the Facebook group and say, "Don't worry, I got this."
I know that people usually don't want to go to the mattresses over "drinking rights," because they think that it makes them look like alcoholics. But this isn't about IU students wanting to get s**t-faced and pin their panties to a wall (not that there's anything wrong with that). This is about the basic right to congregate free from whatever schoolmarm GW hired to limit the choices of consenting adults.
GW shouldn't be restricting law student funds in this manner, it shouldn't be restricting off-campus activity in this way, and it damn well shouldn't be threatening any grown-ass adult who gets a special deal at a bar for his friends. Hopefully, the GW Law faculty won't leave it to the students to fight the administration alone.

While I'm away, readers give the advice:
On helping a friend who is being abused: After slowly being isolated from all friends and family - in short, everyone who made or was likely to make any comment about what a jerk my then-husband was to me - I had one single friend left, a particularly astute woman who was very familiar with abuse victims.
She focused all attention on him when the three of us were together, thereby feeding his ego and need to feel powerful, which ensured he would not sever the connection and would allow her to have time alone with me. ...

Ice Fishing Guide - Finding FishBluegill | Crappie | Perch | Largemouth Bass| Northerns | Walleye | Trout
PerchIn large western Nebraska reservoirs and the natural Sandhills lakes in northcentral Nebraska, the yellow perch is the king of the panfish, much as the bluegill and crappie rule eastern Nebraska waters. Perch stay in the depths of the reservoirs, often in 20 to 50 feet of water. They hug the bottom, run in schools and are strictly daytime feeders. They are also daytime feeders in the natural Sandhills lakes, but depth is not a factor in those shallow waters.
There are many effective ice-fishing baits for perch. One day, a plain hook and minnow might work best, while the next might require a teardrop and waxworm. Sometimes a small, flashy spoon tipped with a grubworm or a strip of belly meat and skin from an already-subdued fish secured to a Russian spoon or teardrop might be the ticket. One old standby bait -- the perch eye -- should be included in every serious perch fisherman's arsenal. An eyeball plucked from a recently caught and dispatched perch can be used in place of a minnow or worm, often with better results. The eyeball is effective on a plain hook, teardrop or spoon, and once the first perch is iced. a supply of bait is assured.

Film watched: ''Film/RobotHolocaust'' with film serial ''Radar Men from the Moon'' Chapter 9: ''Battle in the Stratosphere''
It was the first [=MST3K=] episode (not counting the KTMA era) to feature a color film. It was also the last to feature a Commando Cody serial.
!! This [=MST3K=] presentation contains examples of:
* CutShort: The ''Radar Men'' serial literally breaks halfway into the short, much to the annoyance of Joel and the 'Bots.
* CelebrityResemblance: Joel constantly compares the mute character to Music/TedNugent.
* {{Mondegreen}}/RunningGag: Joel and the 'bots continually guess what the BigBad's name is supposed to be and get it wrong until the ending narration.
* ShoutOut: Crow wonders where Wrestling/BobbyHeenan is.
* TheUnintelligible: Joel and the 'bots find it very difficult to understand Valaria with her thick accent.
-->'''Valaria:''' Do you understand what you're saying?
-->'''Servo:''' Look, sister, I don't understand anything ''you've'' said for the last half-hour.
* WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties: An image of the Mads with thought bubbles saying "Film broke!" appears right after the ''Radar Men'' serial breaks.


text: Title: AQuery: Query Language for Ordered Data, Optimization Techniques, and Experiments (NYU-CS-TR836) Authors: Alberto Lerner and Dennis Shasha Abstract: An order-dependent query is one whose result (interpreted as a multi-set) changes if the order of the input records is changed. In a stock-quotes database, for instance, retrieving all quotes concerning a given stock for a given day does not depend on order, because the collection of quotes does not depend on order. By contrast, finding the five price moving av- erage in a trade table gives a result that depends on the order of the table. Query languages based on the relational data model can handle order- dependent queries only through add-ons. SQL:1999, for example, permits the use of a data ordering mechanism called a "window" in limited parts of a query. As a result, order-dependent queries become difficult to write in those languages and optimization techniques for these features, applied as pre- or post-enumerating phases, are generally crude. The goal of this paper is to show that when order is a property of the underlying data model and algebra, writing order-dependent queries in a language can be as natural as is their optimization. We introduce AQuery, an SQL-like query language and algebra that has from-the-ground-up support for order. We also present a framework for optimization of the order-dependent queries catagories it expresses. The framework is able to take advantage of the large body of query transformations on relational systems while incorporating new ones described here. We show by experiment that the resulting system is orders of magnitude faster than current SQL:1999 systems on many natural order- dependent queries.
