Czech Republic coach Michal Bilek has urged his players not to press the panic button ahead of their UEFA EURO 2012 Group A meeting with Greece on Tuesday.
The Czechs were shell-shocked after losing their opening game 4-1 to Russia while the Greeks were grinding out a gutsy 1-1 draw with co-hosts Poland. And they will be aware that it was the Greeks who dumped them out of EURO 2004 when the Eastern Europeans were expected to swat them aside with ease.
Instead, Greece won the semi-final with a last gasp goal and then beat hosts Portugal for the biggest shock in the history of the tournament. But Bilek, asked if he would ring the changes, insisted: "the 23 players are on form and I haven't decided. Anyway, I shan't tell you who is going to play. But it is not time to panic."
Skipper and Arsenal star Tomas Rosicky admitted that the 2004 loss was "the most painful defeat I have suffered in the national side."
The bad memories of the Greece game are still there - but this isn't about revenge.
Speaking to the Czech news agency CTK in Wroclaw, Poland, he recalled how a side with the glittering talents of Pavel Nedved, Karel Poborsky and Vladimir Smicer lost out to an extra-time goal from Traianos Dellas - his only goal for the Greeks in 53 games.
"The worst thing was the impossibility of reacting" to the goal as the rules at the time stipulated that no second period of extra-time would be played if a 'silver' goal were scored in the first, hence Dellas' effort was virtually the last kick of the match.
"The bad memories of the Greece game are still there - but this isn't about revenge," said Rosicky, who hit the bar in the 2004 encounter.
The Czechs endured earlier pain with a 1996 final 'golden goal' loss to Germany scored by Oliver Bierhoff, now German team manager.
His country's other survivors from eight years ago are keeper Petr Cech and striker Milan Baros, while Giorgos Karagounis and Kostas Katsouranis are still there for the Greeks.

How To Prosper From Melaleuca's Lucrative Compensation Plan
Melaleuca's Compensation Plan is designed to reward independent Marketing Executives who develop customers for Melaleuca products. The income you earn from your Melaleuca business is determined by three factors: the number of customers you have, the amount each customer purchases each month, and your effectiveness in building a marketing organization that includes other Marketing Executives who help you expand your customer base as they build their own marketing organizations.
The key to understanding the Melaleuca Compensation Plan is to remember that all commissions and bonuses earned are based on the sale of products to end consumers. "End consumers" are customers who purchase products to use in their homes. You do not earn commissions and bonuses for recruiting or signing up customers—but you will be paid commissions whenever those customers buy products. And that can mean monthly residual income for years to come.
Recently, Melaleuca added several powerful bonuses that more directly reward the all-important business building activities of referring new customers and working with your personals to advance their business. For the first time ever, some of these new bonuses will be paid weekly to those leaders who refer customers and build their business in a quality manner!
The information on this site explains the Compensation Plan, and is not representative of what any Marketing Executive will earn. Any representation or guarantee of specific earnings would be misleading. Success with any business takes hard work, diligence, perseverance, and leadership. Success with Melaleuca will depend on how effectively a Marketing Executive exercises those qualities.

Driving traffic to Prophetstown State Park, the state's relatively young park just outside Battle Ground, was the reason behind the new aquatics center there.
The question, even as the state raced to finish the $6 million project in time to get some use this summer, was whether a water park among the camping and nature trails would bring people to Prophetstown.
The answer: A big yes in the opening weeks of July.
Prophetstown officials told the J&C this week that the water park has been at or near capacity since opening. (That would be minus two days this week when staffing shortages kept the aquatics facility closed. This summer definitely will need to be considered a learning experience at Prophetstown.)
The idea of making a water park a centerpiece attraction raised some eyebrows for those who wondered whether it would detract from the pristine and serene nature of the park - not to mention the slow-to-develop aspects dedicated to Native American history in this part of Indiana.
But Prophetstown, a park without rolling terrain or coveted rugged hiking of Turkey Run or other state parks, was certainly in need of something that could get people through the gates. Swimming seems to provide one solution.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - A group hoping to begin running adults-only "party train" service between Southern California and the Las Vegas area is talking about putting their destination station about 10 miles north of the Strip.
Las Vegas Railway Express official Dianne David Barron says in a statement issued Tuesday that the company is negotiating for a North Las Vegas site for what she calls the Vegas X Train Station.
Barron says a formal announcement is planned in coming weeks.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports the company had been considering a downtown Las Vegas site.
Backers say the X Train "'nightclub on wheels" will offer cocktails, big TVs, recliners and two lounges for the five-hour trip between Fullerton, Calif., and the Las Vegas area.
They want to begin service by New Year's Eve.

People come from around eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland to get a taste of the fasnachts made at St. Cecilia's Catholic Church every year. But Mary and Jim Meyer travel farther than that. They fly in from California.
The Meyers arrived at the church basement around 10 a.m. Monday to pick up their order of 144 fasnachts.
For the past 10 years, the couple has been making the special trip to Lebanon for the fasnachts. "It's part of the culture. It's historic," Mary Meyer said during her visit Monday.
Although the Meyers live in California, they keep a second home in Hershey and fly back East every month to visit an elderly aunt who lives in Palmyra.
"You never forget these doughnuts," she added. "We never miss them. It's fabulous, and it's for such a good cause."
Last year, Meyer said she waited over two hours to buy 5 dozen fasnachts, the allotted amount per customer if you don't pre-order. She went back two more times last year to get another 10 dozen, she said. So this year, she pre-ordered her fasnachts to avoid the line.
Jim Meyer is a native of Lebanon County and the couple lived here many years ago, so are familiar with the long tradition of fasnachts at the church.
Meyer said the couple keeps two dozen for themselves to take back to California. But they share the remainder with an elderly aunt, Romaine Smith, who lives at Lebanon Valley Brethren Home in Palmyra.
"We get them and share them with everybody in her building," she said. "And my sister (Glenna Daub) lives in Myerstown and we always take a dozen to her, too."
Fasnacht Day is the day before Ash Wednesday, which begins the six-week Lenten season of penitence in the western Christian calendar.
The idea behind Fasnacht Day was to use up the lard in the household before Lent, when eating it was forbidden.
The fasnacht sale is a huge undertaking for the church and it takes a lot of work.
The fasnachts are sold during three days at St. Cecilia's social hall, 202 E. Lehman St., Lebanon.
Fasnachts are $9 a dozen. The sale continues until 8 p.m. Monday. Fasnachts will be sold again starting at 7 a.m. Tuesday until the church runs out of the famous pastries.
Five dozen or less may be purchased at the door.
Pat Vucetic, who along with her husband George has been organizing the annual sale for past six years, said it has been busy since last Wednesday, when workers started the process by putting together boxes, setting up the kitchen, getting everything ready.
"It is a lot of work," she said. "People don't realize what we have to go through to get it all ready."
Vucetic said they have about 350 volunteers, including church members, students from Lebanon Catholic, Lebanon and Cedar Crest, the Lebanon County Career and Technology Center, as well as clients from Renaissance, a drug and alcohol program run by Pennsylvania Counseling Services.
"Without the volunteers help, we couldn't do this," she said.
The fried doughnut-like pastries will be sold by the end of the day Tuesday - also known as Shrove Tuesday.
This year, the church had 3,500 dozen pre-ordered, and expect to make 8,500 dozen, or 102,000 fasnachts.
To make the doughnuts, volunteers use huge quantities of ingredients: 13,000 pounds of flour, nearly 13,000 eggs, more than 7,500 pounds of sugar, 720 pounds of oil and 1,000 gallons of milk.
Parishioner Richard Seyfert has been volunteering at the sale for 20 years.
"I started making boxes, and then moved up to frying them," he said. "It takes about two minutes to fry one side."
Minh Altland was taking a turn at each of the different stations, learning each step in the process. It was her first year.
"I'm really excited about it," she said. "I think it's a good cause to help charity. I feel good about it."
Suzanne Papson also has been volunteering for 20 years. For the past five years, she has been packaging the pre-orders.
"I just want to help the church," she said. Her daughter Alexis, 13, also came to help. "She was excited. She enjoys helping, too."
"It's fun helping out, and getting to eat the doughnuts."
The fasnachts are sold during three days at St. Cecilia's social hall, 202 E. Lehman St., Lebanon.
Fasnachts are $9 a dozen. The sale continues until 8 p.m. Monday. Fasnachts will be sold again starting at 7 a.m. Tuesday until the church runs out of the famous pastries.

PROUT: A New Paradigm of Development
PROUT is a new and comprehensive socioeconomic theory intended to create opportunity for every human being to fully develop and constructively express their physical, mental and spiritual potentials. Current systems of development are unable to provide this opportunity. They cannot even ensure the peace, equity, sustainability, basic necessities, and social unity required for basic human existence. No amount of reform can change this, as their limitations stem from their fundamental values. Rather than focus on criticizing the defects of the dominant paradigm of development, PROUT emphasizes a solution-oriented approach, based on an empowering vision that provides a constructive means to build a truly sustainable and abundant future. Fundamental Social Objective
Based on a universal humanist outlook that values the welfare of all living beings, PROUT puts forward the fundamental social objective that all people must have reasonable opportunities individually and collectively to develop and progressively utilize their physical, mental and spiritual potentialities, while sustainably coexisting with the other living beings of the earth. To give practical expression to this social objective, PROUT has proposed solution-oriented approaches and policies to guide development in social, economic, political and cultural spheres of life. Conditions for Social Transformation
Many people recognize the need for a new paradigm of development, but cannot envision how the leviathan global economy, with its allied state power, can be replaced. While this undertaking seems daunting, the inevitable alternative to the continuation of greed-driven, unsustainable growth is collapse. Reforms that ameliorate the excesses of the global economy are not sufficient; they can only slow, but not stem, the tide. Deep solutions, based on new values and new approaches, are necessary. PROUT offers a viable means for transitioning to a sustainable and life-promoting society, placing emphasis on giving people hope, vision, empowerment, and a solution-oriented approach. Future Vision
While recognizing that humanity faces unprecedented problems, and that significant disruptions in social life are now upon us, PROUT holds a positive outlook on humanity's future. It sees the difficulties of the present forcing shifts of consciousness and creating conditions for the rapid emergence of a universal humanity, able to work together to develop the rich potentialities of the human species that have been long suppressed by an excessively materialist culture. PROUT seeks to help open a path through the darkness of the present to this new stage of human existence and to provide a socio-economic paradigm in which humanity's emerging new consciousness and unity can take root in fertile soil and flourish. It seeks to open a cleared vista, without dogma-created impediments, to the comprehensive fulfillment of human potentialities.

PHOTO CAPTION: Natalie Fultz and her toy poodle Wrigleigh were one of many to attend the grand opening of the dog park Saturday in Columbus.
October 30, 2013
By Adrienne Anderson
FORT BENNING, Ga., (Oct. 30, 2013) -- The first dog park in Columbus officially opened Saturday. The park, located next to Oxbow Meadows, features two fields -- one for dogs 30 pounds and smaller and another for dogs heavier than 30 pounds. It also includes a festival field and a pavilion to complete the Community Support Facilities.
"We are in an era in this city of just big ideas (and) big things happening," said Columbus Mayor Teresa Tomlinson. "And I hope as we're enjoying this that we don't take it for granted. This is really a very special time in this city's history and today's no different."
Due to the hard work of many, she said, the city was able to bring a big idea to fruition -- turning a landfill into a safe and environmentally friendly park for the community.
"(This is) where Families can come and celebrate, where we can have festivals, we've got a pavilion here for Family reunions … anything that you can imagine in this wonderful dog park so that you can celebrate the outdoors with your entire Family, including your loving pets," she said.
Jessica Song, a military spouse who lives on post said she was excited about the dog park.
She heard about the grand opening ceremony on Oxbow Meadow's Facebook page and decided to attend.
"The dog parks on post are on the other side and this one is actually closer," she said, adding she wanted to come to the dog park to get her dog adjusted to other dogs.
It was a big step in the overall renovation of South Columbus, Tomlinson said.
"It has to be a synergy and (activity) going on in the area that leads (businesses) to come here. When we do things like bring Westville to South Columbus, build hotels in South Columbus, build this dog park, this festival field -- that type of activity makes the private market want to be near that vibrancy and that's what brings the ... other development."

November 25, 2015
DALLAS (AP) Visitors to the State Fair of Texas have spent an estimated $37 million on the food, rides and other fun.
Fair officials in Dallas late Sunday released preliminary economic figures hours before the end of the 24-day run. A parade Sunday night that traditionally helps end the fair had to be canceled due to the large crowd. Attendance figures weren't immediately released.
Fair spokeswoman Sue Gooding says good weather played a role in attracting people to the State Fair, which this year featured a new version of towering greeter Big Tex. The 55-foot-tall cowboy-styled icon replaces a version that burned last year.
Gooding says Big Tex will be dismantled Tuesday and stored on the fairgrounds until next year's expo.

Great Microwave
GE is always reliable
By Kennuchi
from Hardyville, VA
About Me Casual Cook
Smart decision
Our old GE spacemaker died after 10 years. Decided to buy another as we were pretty happy with the first one. Microwave showed up after 8 days. It was double packed by ABE's and was in perfect condition.Installation was a snap. Took about an hour. Unit heats very well and does everything our last one did. I like the vent van as it easily pulls all the cooking odors out of the kitchen on the high setting. Our old one was made in the US. This one is made in Malaysia. I hope it proves to be as reliable. I assumed GE was still making them here. My mistake. Time will tell if the quality is still there.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

So USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 can connect every other kind of device in the world EXCEPT Apple products? Why? Does Apple use some secret faster-than-light subspace transmission mode that requires their connectors to think differently? Need more pins than USB 2.0? Guess what - USB 3.0 has more pins.
Everything coming out or going into the iPortables is either digital data or analog audio . None of which requires an exotic non-standard connector.
Why does it matter? Because when Apple abandons it non-standard connectors (ex 30 pin) it orphans a boatload of devices and cables made for that standard. And it means that you cannot use the same charging and sync cable that your sue for all your other devices - leading to more consumer confusion, needless duplication, and e-waste. This is why the EU has made micro USB the required standard connector for all phones.

Apparently, the Apple iPhone store is not immune from piracy. 20% of the apps have been stolen and
are available for free out on the net, and not surprisingly, it's the most useful 20%.
Meanwhile, cracked versions of Microsoft Office, including those that deal with the hideous new

paying attention to user comments of anonymous downloaders who've tested all this booty.
Let the thieves beware. Surely Microsoft must be watching, right?

February 8, 1999: University of Waterloo scientist, Prof. Peter Bernath, is leading a $15-million international study on ozone depletion in the atmosphere, using data collected by an all-Canadian satellite to be launched in 2001. The new satellite, SCISAT-1, will be the first Canadian space science satellite since ISIS-2, which was launched in 1971 to study the upper atmosphere.
Bernath, a faculty member in UW's chemistry and physics departments, leads the project science team, which includes scientists from across Canada and from the United States, Japan, France, Sweden and Belgium. "The principal goal of the mission is to measure and understand the chemical and dynamical processes that control the distribution of ozone in the stratosphere," Bernath said, adding that the research focus will be on the decline of stratospheric ozone at northern mid-latitudes and in the Arctic. "Average ozone declines have been measured over much of Canada, using ground-based instruments," Bernath said. Since 1980, a six-per-cent decrease in the ozone has been recorded sparking fears of atmospheric and climatic changes that could threaten human health and safety.
SCISAT-1 will be launched in cooperation with the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The mission will include the CSA satellite and one from NASA on a single launch vehicle, a Pegasus XL class rocket. The Pegasus is deployed during flight from a modified L-1011 airplane.

Hi all
I am having problems using
(JDK 1.3) when I am trying to update my database (SQL Server) with certain Chinese Charaters.
I am trying to update data in a table with non-Unicode datatype (varchar) and some characters are giving problem (characters with character codes 29054, 29055, etc).
The JDBC Connection with Data base was obtained using
Properties props = new Properties(); props.put("user", "sa"); props.put("password", ""); props.put("charSet", "Big5"); try{ Class test = Class.forName("jdbc :o dbc:amit"); con = DriverManager.getConnection("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver", props); }
But for the special characters i mentioned before it is not updating the table correctly but shows question marks (?) instread.
Well I have no problems with SQL Server Internationalization since I am able to add data (including the special characters I mentioned in my question earlier) in the SQL tables through the query analyser.
My problem basically is that I have not been able to add those special characters via my web application (JSP/Java Bean).
With regard to the problem lemme give u some more information
Unicode data types are nchar, nvarchar and ntext. Non-Unicode data types are char, varchar and text.
I am already using a Chinese Windows Machine (Win 2K Adv server) and so already have the Chinese Trational (Tiawan) Locale (zh_TW).
Now I am trying to go on with Unicode Encoding (UTF-8) but till now haven't found the solution.
If someone has some idea about using Chinese Traditional with JDBC please help. Any Help would be welcome

Dear Amit
I had a similar problem with chinese character fonts showing an occasional question mark (?) on windows. I fixed the problem by install all chinese language support ie Chinese tradional and chinese simplied.
I stumbled across you question because I am stuck with storing chinese unicode characters in MySQL and wondered how you were storing them in SQL server. Do you have values like "\u4F60\u597D" which when I add to a
and drawString( ) then it prints Ni Hao but if I get this value from MySQL it just draws \u4F60\u597D.
Best regards

Oh found this, but since you original posting is quite old I am sure you have solved your issue.
2 SDK and Runtime Environment version 1.3.0 for Windows had two serious bugs affecting Traditional Chinese:
* The Swing dialogs and the output of several tools, including the javac compiler, show up as a mix of Chinese characters and question marks (bug 4339627).
* In the Plugin control panel, Chinese characters are rendered in such poor quality that the text is illegible (bug 4346273).
These bugs have been fixed since version 1.3.0_01.
I agree. Here's the link:

We spent 1984 skating every ramp we could and going to every show we could. These two interests (hardcore/skating) were completely intertwined; a mishmash of Government Issue, bus transfers, Marginal Man, stinky pads, snickers, ditches, stealing wood, Annandale, cassette tapes, super big gulps, and/or Void at the Wilson Center. At the shows we started to recognize familiar faces from ramps, school and the neighborhood, and made new friends from all over the DC area. I feel like being skaters gave us a bit of a late pass, like "oh, how cute! here come those skaters again" as we'd stage dive in train fashion. Our high school had a healthy goofy punk scene (Colin and Roger from BMO and later Dag Nasty, Mike Fellows from GI and Rites of Spring, Natalie and Kate who would go on to form Fire Party, Joel Gwadz, Rob Hardesty, Maureen Gorman, Jen Mercurio, Katey Chase). Many of these older punks took a big-brother/sister interest and helped refine our musical tastes.
One day Tom Clinton brought a kid named Lawrence McDonald and his little brother Mark to our ramp. They soon became a daily fixture and very much a part of our tight-knit group. Lawrence had played in a band years before (Capitol Punishment with Colin Sears and Mike Fellows), and was starting a new band called Bells Of with himself on guitar, Alec MacKaye (Faith) on vox, Bleu Kopperl on bass, and Peter Wilborne (the 400) on drums. Having started in summer DC 1985 they were heavily inspired and influenced by Rites of Spring. Their first show was ok, in hindsight maybe Alec wasn't 100% sure of his involvement in the band. At the end of the summer they jumped into Inner Ear and recorded rough tracks for 7 songs before Pete left for college. With their 2nd show approaching and no drummer to practice with, Lawrence asked me (a nubile guitarist with marginal ability) to get my friend Tom Doerr to fill in on drums so the band could stay tight. In exchange, I could attend their practices and maybe get better at guitar.
Bleu quit Bells Of so I moved over to bass while Lawrence's little brother Mark took over on drums. I learned all that I could about songwriting from Lawrence, but eventually faded on the project, quitting in 1986. Though you wouldn't guess it from the sound, Bells Of was a skate band through and through, with many of its future members swapping in from our original tight core of skaters. Bells Of continues to this day, still centered around Lawrence and a rotating cast of players.
Around that time we were skating regularly at a huge new metal vert ramp called Cedar Crest. I picked up a sponsorship from Powell Peralta in 1987 or so… It was just the B-team (or "flow" team), meaning most of what I got was seconds and/or boneite, but fuck I couldn't believe it. When all you had to do was pick up the phone and call some dude in Santa Barbara to have a box of decks/wheels/jackets delivered to my door, you didn't notice the little number "2" branded in everything.
As much as I loved skating, I still wanted to play guitar in a band—something that bridged my twin loves of Metallica and the Faith. In early 1987, Shawn Brown and a guy I vaguely knew (Ramsey Metcalf; a Mod who had recently transferred into my school) walked into my job at the photomat. I had already known Shawn for a couple years; we had skated together a few times and went to all the same shows. I had watched him sing in Dag Nasty (and later watched him stand front-and-center, dead-still, enraged as Dave Smalley sang his words). They were there to ask me to join their new band; something Bad Brains-esque. Sounded perfect to me, so fuck yes. Days later I dragged a borrowed amp into Ramesy's living room where the rest of the band was setting up for the first time: Nathan Larson (NFC) on bass and Alex Daniels (Carpe Diem) on drums. We kinda knew each other from shows our previous bands played together, but within minutes of playing, we quickly recognized that this new band was something we definitely wanted to pursue. A few weeks later we called it Swiz.
Though my interest in skating didn't die that day (I still skate), it did get pushed over to shotgun status.

SHAWN BROWN IN FRONT OF THE DAG NASTY CROWD AT THE BLACK CAT, 12/28/2012 | PHOTO: NALINEE DARMRONG[/caption]
Then Dischord went and changed all of that with the release of "Dag With Shawn." For whatever reason, although it wasn't that much different from the Selfless release, this new Dischord release really impressed me. Since I picked it up last year, "Dag With Shawn" has been in constant rotation. So when the announcement was made that Shawn Brown would be fronting Dag for the Salad Days show in D.C. I really looked forward to it.
As everyone knows, tickets sold fast for the Dag Nasty night of Salad Days. The minute I heard about them being available (which was minutes after they went up) I kept coming up short in my efforts to score two tickets. Luckily, my friend Jeremy Dean landed two tickets and offered the second one to me. At the very least, I was able to secure myself a trip to the show. As much as I would have loved to catch both nights and all the bands, a full weekend in D.C. just wasn't in the cards. Instead it was going to be a whirlwind trip back and forth in a day to Washington D.C. for a healthy dose of Dag.
I ended up riding down with Jeremy and two other friends; DCXX's Ed McKirdy and NJ local, Karl Sadowski. We got down to D.C. about two hours before the Black Cat opened their doors so we grabbed a meal at Whole Foods before heading over to the show. Once we made it over to The Black Cat we stumbled upon a massive line piled up in front of the venue. Word was spreading that Dag Nasty was slated to play second as opposed to headlining as everyone previously expected. Kingface were the opener, Dag second and the headliner was now Black Market Baby.
Once we made our way inside, it wasn't long before Kingface took the stage. I tried to watch them as much as I could but it was tough to really soak them in considering I kept running into a lot of old friends that I hadn't seen in years. Kingface did sound great though and I was pretty stoked that I was finally getting the opportunity to see them.
Dag Nasty was up next and I quickly made my way to the front of the crowd and as close to the stage as I could. The last time I saw Dag Nasty was July 17th, 1988 on the "Field Day" tour with Peter Cortner fronting them at City Gardens so it had been a long, long wait for my second chance at seeing one of my favorite bands. I knew I definitely wasn't going to sit this one out or watch them from a distance, I had to be up front and in the mix.
Colin, Roger and Brian took the stage first and prepped their instruments then started into the instrumental, "Mango" which served as a nice little warm up tune that got everyone packing up front and ready for the Shawn Brown experience. Shawn took the stage and the band blasted into "Can I Say". The crowd naturally packed tighter and erupted into flying fists and sing alongs.
As you would expect from a collection of veteran musicians like Dag Nasty, the band sounded great. As the set continued, it became pretty obvious that the guys in Dag Nasty were really enjoying themselves. Brian clearly looked to be in the Dag zone and every note seemed to be played just as it was recorded, all those years ago. Shawn Brown also sounded incredible and delivered those "Can I Say" lyrics with conviction and heart, while still sprinkling humor in between songs.
The set was packed with all the "Can I Say/Dag With Shawn" hits. Every song was pretty much a highlight considering all of those songs are pretty much flawless. As the set went on and I sang along to every song, I realized just how special it was to be able to see one of my all time favorite bands again and how those songs and lyrics still move me as much today as they did 27 years ago. As an encore, Dag popped back up on stage with the Flex Your Head comp. classic by Red C, "Pressure's On" then one more Dag song and it was over.
As Black Market Baby set up, I stood there reflecting upon what Dag Nasty had just wrapped up. I'm sure the crowd could have been a little more intense but I think the Black Cat's no stage diving policy kept the crowd slightly toned down. Regardless, I was grateful the band was able to pull it all together and that I could be there and be a part of it. Considering I've now got Cortner and Brown Dag sets under my belt, all I need is a Smalley-fronted Dag set and I'll have all the bases covered.
Next up, Black Market Baby got underway and they were surely not a disappointment. One of D.C.'s early punk outfits, Black Market Baby tore through their set and held their own. Unfortunately, because my friends and I had a three-plus-hour drive ahead of us and it was already well past past midnight, we rolled out a little early (and we still didn't get home before 5:00 am.)
Thanks to all those associated with the Salad Days shows and of course the bands for bringing it back together. Also, a personal big thanks to Jeremy Dean for the ticket and ride hookup, both were much appreciated. I wish I could have stuck around for show two with Scream, D.C.'s Youth Brigade and Government Issue, but I'll take what I can get and I can assure you, what I got was memorable to say the least. -Tim DCXX

All Things Promotional Marketing
Raise your hand if you have been visited by the tradeshow gypsies. People who go from show to show, grabbing hand fulls of the free logoed promos you have on your table, and have absolutely no intention of doing business with you.
In reality, there might be 3 to 10 prospects at a show that have real potential. Here is what to do to defend against the promo swipers and at the same time treat the top prospects with the respect they deserve.
While you need to have the inexpensive handouts for the masses, take the time before the show to giftwrap a handful of higher end gifts and keep them hidden behind the table. A nice Cross or Waterman pen with your logo on it are great ideas. If you know the size the prospect wears in advance, embroider your logo on a high end brand name apparel item such as Columbia, Nike, or Cutter & Buck. Review the list of attendees to see who you can expect, and plan accordingly. Giftwrapping the nicer item, letting the prospect know that you had hoped they would stop by, and then providing a more expensive, special vip gift will make a very strong impression. It means they were important enough that you took the time to prepare for them, and that will translate to the prospect big time. After the show when you follow up, odds are that cold call will not be so cold.
Have a Happy Passover and a Happy Easter. Thank you for listening.

Developments to Watch
This Baby-Infection Test Is Ready for Long Pants
Scientists at Stanford University have developed a test for the early detection of sepsis, a bacterial infection of the blood. In newborns, sepsis can be lethal in as little as six hours. Since there has been no way to detect sepsis until it becomes serious, hospitals routinely administer antibiotics to hundreds of thousands of infants--even though only 10% of those treated actually have blood infections. Treating the other 90% is unwise, medically, and costs $800 million per year.
The new test, which takes just 15 to 20 minutes, uses fluorescent antibodies that signal the presence of certain protein markers on the surface of white blood cells called neutrophils. These markers spread rapidly on cells that have been exposed to the bacteria causing sepsis. The test has been licensed to CompuCyte Corp. of Cambridge, Mass., which has begun clinical trials at Boston University Medical Center. CompuCyte hopes to market a drug before 2002.By Petti FongReturn to top
Motherboards Get a Second Childhood
Your Commodore 64 may be obsolete, but many of the materials used to make it aren't. As much as 95% of the parts and materials in junked PCs could be recovered and recycled. But only a small fraction of discarded PCs get rescued before being buried in landfills. The waste is huge and growing: 20 million computers were trashed by Americans in 1998, and that number could triple by 2005.
The main reason recyclers don't target computers more aggressively is that many of the parts are attached to circuit boards with epoxy adhesives that are well-nigh indestructible. But a new formulation could soon make it much easier to mine the gold in high-tech waste. Researchers at Cornell University and the State University of New York at Binghamton have developed a new epoxy that essentially dissolves in an industrial solvent at 190 degrees C. Dubbed Alpha-Terp, the new substance should make it simple to detach parts without damage after a computer is turned off for the last time. "The only other way to break an epoxy's grip is to smash it with a hammer, and that's kind of tough on those delicate components," says John Jir-Shyr Chen, a Cornell graduate student in materials science. He delivered a report on the new fail-on-demand adhesive at the late-August meeting of the American Chemical Society.By Petti FongReturn to top
A Disorderly Plan for Nuclear Waste
The biggest problem with storing radioactive waste isn't finding the space. It's making containers that can last the thousands of years it will take for the stuff inside to decay back into a benign state. Any container would have a hard time enduring incessant pummeling by high-energy radioactive particles. Mother Nature didn't foresee the need for something that could withstand concentrated radiation for millennia. But she came close with fluorite.
Searching for a material to contain nuclear wastes, especially plutonium from dismantled U.S. and Russian bombs, two international research teams have come up with almost the same stuff--ceramic formulations that resemble fluorite, a purplish mineral. Like fluorite, the materials work because they have an unusual internal structure: Their crystals are inherently "disordered," says Kurt E. Sickafus, a materials scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Disorder seems to be the key. Since structural integrity doesn't depend on a rigid crystalline pattern, the ceramics can shrug off a hellish rain of "hot" particles. In fact, computer simulations suggest the zirconate-based ceramics could keep radioactive wastes bottled up safely for as long as 30 million years.By Petti FongReturn to top

Original monograph discusses graphene within the carbon chemistry alternatives available to materials engineers and explains how it is incorporated into polymer-matrix, as well as ceramic- and metal-matrix composite materials. The book shows how different forms of graphene can be synthesized and then added to polymer composites as main or hybrid nanofillers, with a focus on how graphene affects electrical and mechanical properties. Offers the theory and data necessary to design novel graphene-based composites with unique load-bearing, flammability and wear properties. Throughout, the book lists many newly discovered mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of graphene. Emerging uses of graphene in films, coatings and colloidal suspensions (i.e., graphene with liquid matrices) are also investigated.

Name: Doug Satre
Age: 45
Residence: Clairemont
Family: wife, Kathryn, and three children
Nonprofit work: director of development since 2008 for Plant With Purpose, a San Diego-based group that has worked with farmers in six countries (The Dominican Republic, Haiti, Mexico, Tanzania, Burundi and Thailand) to plant about 9 million trees. On Jan. 29, he and others will embark on Wings of Kilimanjaro, a climbing and paragliding expedition to raise money for humanitarian projects in Tanzania.
Q: What motivated you to join Plant With Purpose?
A: I was raised in a Christian household with one twin brother and seven adopted siblings. My parents really modeled a lifestyle of wanting to help others. They also owned a cabin, and I grew up loving the outdoors. So three strands of belief have really shaped my life: faith, humanitarianism and love of nature.
In my vocational journey, I've sought ways to bring all three strands together. Being a Presbyterian pastor in Bonn, Germany, for example. I also like to tell stories, and in Plant With Purpose's office, we are part of so many stories of progress, healing and hope amid the challenges in our host countries. People are so determined to better their lives; all they need is a little coaching and a few resources.
Q: What is the organization's overarching goal?
A: The mission is to empower the poorest communities in the world to find rejuvenation through the land. We help rural farmers collectively develop the resources they have to solve their problems. Two primary problems are land degradation (overfarming, deforestation) and the resulting worsening of poverty. It's a vicious cycle. We come alongside them to reverse that culture.
We teach sustainable agriculture, help them establish small businesses through community lending among themselves (they pool their own money instead of getting microloans from us). Plant With Purpose deals with about 60 kinds of trees, some fruit (such as avocado, orange, lemon, mango, banana, coffee) and some forest varieties cultivated for building materials (including eucalyptus, pines, grevillea).
Q: What is most gratifying about your work?
A: The No. 1 thing is hearing about the impact we're making. For example, in Haiti we've seen a 50 percent decline in cholera and typhoid in the communities where we work.
Q: How can the public help Plant With Purpose?
A: We have an annual gala each October, both as a fundraiser and simply a way for people to get to know us. We also host trips for people to visit the farmers we've been helping, and there's a program for people to sponsor a village. In addition, we're always seeking more interns for our central office. And another way to help is letting us know about civic groups, neighborhoods, corporate offices that will invite us to speak about Plant With Purpose's mission and activities.
Q: What is something people might find interesting about you?
A: One thing I really love about San Diego — and places where I travel — is the chance to identify different types of birds. Even the poorest locations have such beauty and diversity.

|Pulmonary Mechanics Following Albuterol Therapy in Mechanically Ventilated Infants with Bronchiolitis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22741817 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Background and aims. Bronchiolitis is a common cause of critical illness in infants. Inhaled β(2)-agonist bronchodilators are frequently used as part of treatment, despite unproven effectiveness. The purpose of this study was to describe the physiologic response to these medications in infants intubated and mechanically ventilated for bronchiolitis. Materials and methods. We conducted a prospective trial of albuterol treatment in infants intubated and mechanically ventilated for bronchiolitis. Before and for 30 minutes following inhaled albuterol treatment, sequential assessments of pulmonary mechanics were determined using the interrupter technique on repeated consecutive breaths. Results: Fifty-four infants were enrolled. The median age was 44 days (25-75%; interquartile range (IQR) 29-74 days), mean hospital length of stay (LOS) was 18.3 ± 13.3 days, mean ICU LOS was 11.3 ± 6.4 days, and mean duration of mechanical ventilation was 8.5 ± 3.5 days. Fifty percent (n = 27) of the infants were male, 81% (n = 44) had public insurance, 80% (n = 41) were Caucasian, and 39% (n = 21) were Hispanic. Fourteen of the 54 (26%) had reduction in respiratory system resistance (Rrs) that was more than 30% below baseline, and were defined as responders to albuterol. Response to albuterol was not associated with demographic factors or hospitalization outcomes such as LOS or duration of mechanical ventilation. However, increased Rrs, prematurity, and non-Hispanic ethnicity were associated with increased LOS. Conclusions. In this population of mechanically ventilated infants with bronchiolitis, relatively few had a reduction in pulmonary resistance in response to inhaled albuterol therapy. This response was not associated with improvements in outcomes.

Welcome to Cost Seg, LLC.
Cost Seg, LLC specializes in preparing cost segregation studies.
We are committed to providing you expert advice on cost segregation, real estate taxation and valuation issues. Our extensive experience and knowledge of current legislation, regulations, revenue rulings, and court cases will provide you with a thorough and supportable analysis. The methodologies and procedures we employ rely on fully documented engineering and appraisal techniques and are based, in part, on our experience gained through direct reviews by the IRS.
What Is Cost Segregation?
Cost Segregation is the process of segregating the costs associated with the real and personal property investments in real estate. Real property is depreciated over 39 or 27.5 years versus personal property, which is depreciated over 3, 5, 7 and 15 years.
What Are The Benefits?
By properly segregating costs, investors, CPA's, appraisers, engineers, developers and consultants can accomplish a number of goals related to real estate investments:
1.Significantly improved after tax cash flows from the project due to accelerated tax depreciation.
2. Reduced real property taxes resulting from reclassifying assets as personal property.
3. Increased state investment tax credits on manufacturing property.
4. Opportunity to claim "catch-up" depreciation on future tax returns for corrections in tax depreciation. (No extension of the statute of limitations or amended returns required)
Do I Qualify?
All properties constructed, acquired, or renovated after 1986 qualify under the IRS guidelines. It can be a new building currently under construction; existing buildings undergoing remodeling, restoration or expansion; purchases of existing property constructed anytime, but placed in service after 1986; office / facility leasehold improvements on your current facility and "fit outs".
How Do I Get Started?
Simply go to our contact page or call, e-mail, or fax us with information about your property. Let us know the year that the property was constructed or acquired, the building cost, and the type of property.
Since we specialize in cost segregation, our turnaround is quick. We typically respond within twelve hours to your inquiry, and we can send you a proposed estimate of the net present value of the tax savings after a cost segregation study within twenty-four hours.

Technology didn't do much good at Royal St. George's
SANDWICH, England -
While the golf world is still pondering how someone named Ben Curtis won the British Open on Sunday in his first attempt at playing in a major championship, an ever-growing debate, at least for a moment, was put on hold.
You don't hear much consternation today about hot-faced drivers, hot golf balls and the imminent demise of great golf courses on the planet due to technology.
Oh, the talk has only subsided for a short time. Assaults on the golf record books will continue, and other great venues will take a beating.
But for one week, the golf course won. And it was an amazing sight.
Curtis was the only player to complete 72 holes at Royal St. George's under par, and he finished at 283, 1 under. He actually made it to 5 under par on the back nine Sunday, and several other players were in red numbers as well. By the end of the day, however, he stood alone.
A course that was designed in 1887 by Dr. Laidlaw Purves, a London ophthalmologist with no previous golf course architecture experience, beat back the modern golfer and made meaningless all the modern tools of the trade.
Of course, for a golf course to dispatch that kind of misery on the best in the world, there must be an element of trickery involved. It is a fine line, and it wouldn't work every week. Those worried about technological advances will no doubt point to Royal St. George's as proof that only the most severe golf course can have a chance at thwarting elite golfers.
Dr. Purves designed his course with blind tee shots and reverse-canted fairways. All the high-tech equipment in the world isn't going to help a golfer make his ball bounce forward, no matter how well he strikes it.
"Almost every fairway out there slopes away from the dogleg,'' said Scott McCarron. "In other words, if the dogleg goes left, the fairway slopes right.''
"This is the truest links we've played for moons,'' said three-time Open champion Nick Faldo, who tied for eighth. "It's rock hard. The wind is really blowing, and you see we just are unprepared for this. The odds on getting a day or week like this are so low in your whole career. It comes as a complete shock, really. Plus, with the pin positions being so wicked ...''
For the first time in recent memory, a major championship was played without rain being a factor.
Go back over the last several majors, and a common theme developed: a world-class golf course being softened by water. That takes out the sting, and the best in the world typically pounce.
Not this time. Royal St. George's was hard and fast. Fairways were narrow and difficult to hit, the rough brutal. And then the wind blew, too.
"It's tough,'' said Tiger Woods, who tied for fourth, two shots back of Curtis. "When you play most tournaments, you hit a tee shot and if you hit it down the middle, you pick up your tee and don't worry about it. Here, you worry about it. ... It's a little more stressful than most tournaments we play, because good shots aren't always rewarded by being in the fairway.''
Woods, however, relished the challenge, even if he didn't always like where his ball ended up.
"It's a lot of fun if you go out there and you get rewarded for shooting a round in the 60s,'' he said. "You guys watch us play the (PGA) Tour every week, and if you don't shoot 67 or 68 every day, more than likely you're going to get passed. This week is different. It's a major championship and that's the way it should be. If you shoot a round in the 60s, you've played one heck of a round of golf.''
As it turned out, Woods managed that feat just once in four days.
There will be many, of course, who believe that Royal St. George's was tricked up, that if a few of the fairways were smoothed out and the rough not so deep, it too, would succumb to the game's best.
And all you need to do is go back 10 years, to Greg Norman's 1993 victory, at Royal St. George's, where he closed with a 64 by hitting all 14 fairways. His total of 267 is still an Open scoring record. That year, it rained on the eve of the tournament.
Still, Norman did not put the venue among his favorite in the British Open rota. He called it quirky. Before the tournament, Steve Elkington, who shot 86 in the first round (he later withdrew due to an injury), ranked the course among Open Championship venues: "I'd say it's in the top 10,'' quipped Elkington, knowing full well there are just nine.
So not everybody likes the place. Jack Nicklaus once said that British Open venues got weaker the farther south you go, and there is no Open course farther south than Sandwich. And it is interesting to note that Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Gary Player or Peter Thomson -- who combined for 16 Open titles -- never captured one at Royal St. George's.
And there will be those who contend it produced a fluke winner in Curtis, who had never finished among the top 10 in a PGA Tour event -- which sounds good until you consider that world-class players Vijah Singh, Thomas Bjorn, Woods and Davis Love III were right behind.
Tricked up or not, Royal St. George's stood proud.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ A Kansas House committee has voted to authorize $1.5 billion in bonds to bolster the state pension system for teachers and state government workers.
But the Pensions and Benefits Committee vote Thursday was 7-6, reflecting a split over whether the legislation does enough to address a long-term funding gap facing the pension system.
The Kansas Public Employees Retirement System projects a $9.3 billion gap between anticipated revenues and benefits promised to public employees through 2033. The system's assets would cover about 53 percent of its obligations.
KPERS Executive Director Alan Conroy has said putting the proceeds from the bonds into the pension system would bump up the funding ratio more quickly than it would rise otherwise.
The bill goes next to the full House for debate.
