Swing by your local farmers' market to find heirloom varieties of yellow tomatoes in the fall. While you are there, pick up a few extra pounds to core and freeze whole so that you can make this soup throughout the winter. If you can't find yellow tomatoes, red beefsteak tomatoes will work just as well.
Click here to see Getting Schooled in the Art of Mediterranean Cooking.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly oil the yellow tomatoes. Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Roast the tomatoes in the oven until the skins pop open and the flesh is fairly tender. Let cool to room temperature.
Place the tomatoes, all the reserved vegetable scraps, and the jalapeño in a blender and purée. Press the purée through a fine-meshed sieve. Season with salt, pepper, and vinegar, to taste. Add the lime juice.
In a bowl, combine all of the diced vegetables. Stir the vegetables into the purée or reserve the vegetables and use them to garnish the soup. Refrigerate the soup overnight to allow the flavors to develop. Serve the soup chilled, garnished with the cilantro.

Concur with WaltKnapp. My macro experience is limited, but I bought the Sigma 105mm F2.8, and have found it to be fantastic on my A55. I think this focal length is far more useful for plants / bugs whilst out and about than a 50 mm macro would be. It's also a great as a portrait lens - very useful in low light.

The State Of Calgary's Defence
by PuckStopsHere on 01/18/10 at 12:33 PM ET
Comments (0)
This summer when the Calgary Flames added Jay Bouwmeester, they were a popular choice to be the top defence in the NHL. Bouwmeester was joining Robyn Regehr and Dion Phaneuf. They were to form the best top three on any defence unit in the NHL. If former Vezina Trophy winning goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff bounced back into form behind that defence, this was a Flames team that could dominate. They could allow the least goals against in the NHL and be a Stanley Cup contender.
There was a solid chance that Calgary would provide three of the Canadian Olympic Team defencemen. When the team was actually named, Calgary had zero defencemen on the roster. What happened?

The CHL Top Prospects Game is this Wednesday in Windsor, Ontario. It pits two teams of the top players who are draft eligible in 2010 who play on teams in the three CHL leagues. The teams are coached by Don Cherry and Bobby Orr and are thus called Team Cherry and Team Orr.

Masterton Trophy Leader
by PuckStopsHere on 01/16/10 at 01:03 PM ET
Comments (0)
Of the major NHL awards, I think the Masterton Trophy is the one that has the most ambiguous description of who wins it. It is officially given to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverence, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey. In practise, I think the award goes to the player who overcomes the biggest adversity anevertheless contributes the most to his team. That is how I pick it and it is consistent history. Despite the fact it is explicitly mentioned in the award description, sportsmanship plays little or no impact in the selection of Masterton winners.
I think the man who best fits this description this season is Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins. Bergeron essentially lost his 2007/08 season to a concussion. He only managed to play ten games. Although he was back last season, he was not the same player he had been in the past. This year he has been the top scorer on the Boston Bruins and is on the roster for the Canadian Olympic Team.

The Worst Penalty Kill Ever
by PuckStopsHere on 01/15/10 at 01:07 PM ET
Comments (0)
The Toronto Maple Leafs have the worst penalty kill in the NHL this season. They have killed 68.9% of opposing team's penalties. The second worst team is the Edmonton Oilers who are over 7% better with a 76% success rate. The NHL has recorded penalty kill success rates since the 1963/64 season and this year's Leafs team has the third worst rate in history. Behind the Net Hockey has a nice summary of the worst penalty kills in history.
The two teams that were worse in raw percentage than this year's Maple Leafs are the 1979/80 Los Angeles Kings and the 1982/83 Kings who came in at 67.7% and 68.24% respectively. With a bad game or two, the Leafs could be in that range. In fact at times they have fallen behind the 83 Kings penalty kill rate only to recover a bit.

Top Defenceman So Far
by PuckStopsHere on 01/14/10 at 12:36 PM ET
Comments (0)
In December I picked Mike Green of the Washington Capitals as the top defenceman in the season so far. At that point, the race for Norris Trophy was most likely between Green, Duncan Keith of Chicago and Drew Doughty of Los Angeles. Since that time, Doughty has fallen off the pace and Keith has come on strong. He is closing the gap in points and +/- with Green. Currently Keith has 42 points to Green's 46 and has a +16 to Green's +17. The main difference between them comes in the fact that Duncan Keith plays against the some of the toughest opposition that Chicago faces and Green plays against a more average level of competition. It is in the tougher competition he faces that Duncan Keith that he makes himself the Norris Trophy leader at this point.
Duncan Keith is clearly having the best season of his NHL career to date. In 46 games played he has 42 points. His previous best (established last season) was 44 points and that took 77 games and that was a strong enough season defensively to earn Keith a sixth place finish in the Norris Trophy voting. Keith has maintained his defensive strength and added an offensive component to his game that makes him the second best offensive defenceman in the world (behind Mike Green). Keith has established himself as the best defenceman in the league so far this season.

NHL Officiating On Trial
by PuckStopsHere on 01/13/10 at 12:24 PM ET
Comments (0)
In order for the NHL to be a credible sports league, the impression must exist that teams decide who wins the games on the ice. There cannot be an impression that officials (either on or off ice) can decide these things. Reality is that decisions by officials often impact NHL games. As long as any influence is random and cancels out in the longterm, it is an acceptable situation for the NHL, but this is not an acceptable position for the NHL public. Many members of the public must believe that teams are the only factor in deciding who wins games in order for the league to maintain credibility.
That is why the allegations that referee Stephane Auger was out to get Alexandre Burrows of the Vancouver Canucks in Monday night's game versus Nashville (which Nashville won 3-2) are serious. It opens the door to fans who had previously believed that the players decide games to the idea that officials play a much bigger role in the outcomes.

Thrashers Franchise Changing Decision
by PuckStopsHere on 01/12/10 at 12:26 PM ET
Comments (0)
Ilya Kovalchuk has been the best player in Atlanta Thrasher franchise history. Ilya Kovalchuk will be an unrestricted free agent this summer. How will the Atlanta Thrashers handle the likely loss of their best player? Do they trade him before the NHL trade deadline? That would trigger a likely end to any hope of contending for a playoff berth this season. Currently Atlanta sits four points back of eighth seed Montreal in the East Conference with three games in hand. They are currently mired in a slump where they have won only one of their last eleven games. Before it started, they looked like a sleeper team that could make some noise in a playoff run.
There are plenty of reasons to imagine that Kovalchuk will not want to return to Atlanta. Atlanta is a franchise that has never won a playoff game in their history. Kovalchuk may want a better chance of winning. Atlanta is not a financially strong franchise. Atlanta ownership has been fighting one another in court and not put sufficient capital behind the franchise. They are a strong contender to be one of the next teams that the NHL is forced to keep alive on life support (much like the Phoenix Coyotes).

Worst Regular So Far This Season
by PuckStopsHere on 01/11/10 at 08:07 PM ET
Comments (0)
In December, I picked Kyle Chipchura of the Anaheim Ducks as the player who had been the worst regular so far this season. He has played himself out of that dishonor by scoring 3 goals since that point.
So far this season, we have seen competition for the worst regular in the league. Vesa Toskala of Toronto was the early season pick. He has improved his game somewhat since that low point. Brad Richardson of the Los Angeles Kings came next. But in time he started scoring. Next up was Andrew Peters of the New Jersey Devils. Peters lost the spot by losing his status as a regular. He has only played three games since December 2nd. Next I made my selection of Kyle Chipchura.

All Star Game 2010
by PuckStopsHere on 01/10/10 at 03:06 PM ET
Comments (0)
There is no NHL All Star Game in 2010 because the Olympic break already forces a compressed schedule and the NHL is opting to get rid of All Star Weekend to free up some time. Nevertheless, we can pick teams for a hypothetical game. I will assume that the same rules apply as in the actual All Star Games. There is a fan ballot to select starters. This will have to be "simulated", in that I will have to guess who fan voters might have selected. Probably my choices would not be accurate should there actually have been a vote because there will be ballot stuffing by some teams and likely undeserving players selected. Nevertheless, I think I chose a reasonable group of three forwards, 2 defencemen and one goalie per conference who might have been selected as starters. The rosters are then filled out to contain at least one player per team and have 12 forwards, 6 defencemen and three goalies per conference.
Here are hypothetical All Star Game rosters, with hypothetical starters denoted by *:

New Selke Leader
by PuckStopsHere on 01/09/10 at 09:17 PM ET
Comments (0)
In December, I picked Travis Zajac of the New Jersey Devils as the Selke Trophy for best defensive forward. Zajac remains a top Selke candidate, but with Rob Niedermayer and Jay Pandolfo returned from injury, Zajac's defensive role on the Devils is declining. Hence, I am picking a new Selke leader. My selection is Mike Fisher of the Ottawa Senators.
Fisher is having a very good season and received some consideration for a spot on the Canadian Olympic team. He currently leads the Sens in points with 32. He is doing this while playing one of the toughest defensive roles in the league for the Sens. Fisher is an outstanding defensive centre who regularly shuts down the opposition and he is becoming an offensive threat in that situation. He has been the best forward in the league who is primarily used in a defensive role so far this season.

'All of this comes with the territory,' Ush tells MTV News of paternity-suit drama.
By Jocelyn Vena
Justin Bieber and Usher
Photo: Ben Rose/ WireImage
Usher might not have known how big Justin Bieber would become when he discovered him a few years back, but he was pretty sure he had found something special.
Since Bieber burst on the scene with his My World EP back in 2009, the 17-year-old has grown up with the world watching. He's gone from up-and-comer to full-fledged pop sensation, racking up chart-topping albums and a box-office hit and becoming an all-around mega-heartthrob — all in two years.
Of course, with the good does come negative attention as well. Recently, Bieber was hit with a paternity lawsuit, which has since been dropped.
Usher, no stranger to his own controversies, had these words for the Biebs: "Stay strong. And know that all of this comes with the territory."
Aside from the drama, Usher is especially proud of Bieber's charitable side. His mentor said he "absolutely" knew the kid from Stratford, Ontario, had a big heart from the start.
"To write a check is only half of it, but when you truly take on a responsibility to be a philanthropist, you accept an effort, and I really think that Pencils of Promise is something that has a very bright future," Usher told MTV News at an event for the charity, noting that Bieber is a only a small part of it.
Usher — who appears on Bieber's new Christmas album, Under the Mistletoe — gives credit to the folks surrounding the teen superstar, including manager Scooter Braun. "Just judging from the determination and the will power of the entire team around Justin, I see a very, very promising [future] for him as a philanthropist," Usher said.

How long do humans typically live in the 24th Century?

The last movie made mention of Admiral Archer - and if he's the same guy we saw as a Captain in the Enterprise TV series (as the writers intended), he would be around 140 at the time. That said, Archer was Trek's king of time travel.
It really depends who's writing. Although evidence from TNG and the novelverse indicates people can live to very old ages and remain useful and functional into their 100's (see: Elias Vaughn), the animated episode "The Counter-Clock Incident" gave officers a mandatory retirement age of 75.
Yes, and Memory Alpha pointed out that Archer would've been 145 at the time of Abrams-Trek, which I personally think it more than pushing it.
I prefer Mike Sussman's unseen footnote from "In a Mirror, Darkly" that Archer died in 2245 (at 137) a day after attending the launch of the Connie Enterprise.
R. Star wrote:
Elias Vaughn is the worst kind of character to trump out as an example being the gray haired Mary Sue he is.
That said, some of the ages seem somewhat ridiculous. I guess it's possible medical technology could advance to the point of keeping a person function into their 150's... but if that's possible, why aren't we just cloning people and putting them into new bodies... this isn't unprecedented in Trek by any means.
Kind of like the Emperor did in Star Wars comics? I always thought synaptic transfer into clone bodies would be the best bet for attaining near-immortality while preserving quality of life (not transferring yourself into a computer).
There have been a couple of examples in Trek of organic-to-organic transfers ("The Passenger"), but there's no way to know how reliable it is in the Trek universe. It's also possible it may work for some species but not others.
Mojochi wrote:
I'd think it could be possible that even though people live to 140-150 as it seems to be in Star Trek, it might also be possible that they would still retire between 70-80, because even though their medical tech has pushed back death, with treatments and organ replacements, there's been no evidence that their tech alters in any way the aging process of humans, meaning menopause sets in around the same time it does for us. They become geriatric at the same time we do, but their advancements have made geriatric living better and last longer
This is kind of an uncomfortable question but one wonders if a society could sustain a large number of retirees living that long, longer in fact than the number of years they can work productively.

BTW, they offer free one-on-one personal financial counseling for low income New Yorkers.
They are calling on developers and designers to help us create an app that will empower New Yorkers to achieve their financial goals. There will be great judges, prizes, free food and beer. More importantly, this is a great
chance to help low-income New Yorkers move forward financially! For more information, go to the Hacker League page. Sign-ups are available through OFE website, www.nyc.gov/ofehackathon. Developers of all levels are welcome to attend, and can form teams at the start of the event.
The team or individual who creates the winning app will receive $1,000; two second place winners will receive prizes of $500 each.

D status means they have your parts and allocation. 5 days later I am now currently in D1 meaning I have an estimated build date/ship date. You could also use the contact us from the ram website, they usually were able to find out for me but it will be a generic copy/paste of what i told you about awaiting allocation. If you have already been given a VIN and then they are now unable to find your order, well, that would have me worried. Hope this helps, this is just what I have gathered from my ordering experience so far. Also, I received my first email from Chrysler once I hit D status and then again when I hit D1.
Thanks for your insight, but I already knew how Rams ordering codes worked.... This 14My order is actually my 4th order with Chrysler.
My frustration has to Chrysler not giving their CS reps the access they need to properly service their customers... It really blows when they offer a service to check your order, but can't.
BTW, I'm in D status and have been there for a week now... I got my VIN from Ram CS... One of their reps go it for me, when I called in the past... I'm just getting antsy because my original '13 order pretty much disappeared and I had gotten word that another guy who order a '14MY a week after me, is already D1 status with a estimated ship date of 9/2...

Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid have been kept apart in the draw for the UEFA Champions League quarter and semi-finals, setting up the possibility of a final showdown between the two in Munich.
Real Madrid drew Cypriots APOEL Nicosia, while Barcelona landed Italian powerhouse AC Milan. Chelsea, the sole English survivors, will take on Benfica of Portugal, while the remaining tie sees Marseille up against Germany's Bayern Munich.
Despite facing the competition's underdogs in the next round, Real club director Emiliano Butragueno is not prepared to underestimate Apoel. "We have to be extremely respectful," he told Sky Sports. "Of course on paper there were stronger teams that Apoel, but it is the quarter-finals and they are a very strong team."
Butragueno also refused to address the prospect of a Real-Barça final. "The final is too far ahead," he said. "We have to be very focused on the next game and try to reach the semi-finals. That will be a difficult tie according to the draw. After that, if we are lucky enough to reach the final then we'll think about it."
Cypriot minnows APOEL put on a brave face following the draw on Friday, saying they were "proud" to come up against Spanish giants Real Madrid.
"I am proud of APOEL and of Cyprus. We are proud to play a team like Real Madrid," the club's president Fivos Erotocritou told Sport FM radio from Switzerland. "This is something incredible for us and for Cyprus. Before the draw we were congratulated for what we have achieved so far. The emotions we are going through are unique."
AC Milan director Umberto Gandini insisted they were not disappointed to draw the European champions. He said: "At least it will be easy to organise the away game as we have been there recently and we know the place. We faced them in the group stage and the aggregate score was 5-4, so I think it will be balanced.
"We drew 2-2 there and played well also at home despite losing 3-2, so we have confidence because I think we have also improved since then. It's a game every player dream to play, both teams will be very motivated and we will see the winner of Benfica-Chelsea in the semi-finals!"

To help health care providers comply with privacy and security requirements, and help consumers better understand their rights, new resources on the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) are available online. The Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has developed fact sheets, continuing education modules, and videos, all of which are now linked from APTA's HIPAA webpage at www.apta.org/HIPAA under Related Resources.
New for providers are 3 video educational modules (hosted on Medscape.org, free login required) and a YouTube video that explains how to protect patient information in compliance with HIPAA security rules. For consumers, 7 new multilingual consumer fact sheets complement 7 videos released earlier this year on OCR/s YouTube channel.
Although emergency medical services (EMS) use can increase stroke evaluation and treatment, more than a third, or 36.3%, of stroke patients fail to use EMS to get to the hospital, say authors of a study published electronically ahead of print in April by the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes.
For this study, the authors analyzed data from 204,591 hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke patients. Those patients were admitted to 1,563 hospitals that use National Institute of Health Stroke Score and insurance status data and participate in the Get With the Guidelines-Stroke program.
The authors concluded that while 63.7% of patients arrived to the hospital via EMS, older patients using Medicaid and Medicare insurance and severe stroke patients were more likely to use EMS services. Race and ethnic minorities and people living in rural areas were less likely to use EMS services. Use of EMS services is associated with earlier arrival, prompter evaluation, more rapid treatment, and greater eligibility for treatment with tissue-type plasminogen activator.

ETFs to increase buying and selling flexibility in Iran stock market
Stock exchange in Iran dates back to 46 years ago when Tehran Exchange Market was established as the country's largest stock exchange. But in 2009, Iran Fara Bourse Company was established as one of the main steps for developing capital-market in Iran and diversifying financial instruments traded in the securities market. Farabourse operates under official supervision of Securities and Exchange Organization. Farabourse operates as a self-regulatory organization governing the activities of its brokers and members. One of the most recent services Farabourse has provided for the investors is the Exchange-traded funds or the ETFs. ETFs are a type of financial instrument whose unique advantages over mutual funds have caught the eyes of many investors. If you find the tasks of analyzing and picking stocks a little scary, ETFs may be right for you. The ETFs are the best places for those who know very little about exchange market but are interested in buying and selling stocks and bonds. Unlike a mutual fund that has its net-asset value or NAV calculated at the end of each trading day, an ETFs price changes throughout the day, fluctuating with supply and demand. By owning an ETF, you get the diversification of an index fund plus the flexibility of a stock. When buying and selling ETFs, you pay your broker the same commission that you'd pay on any regular trade.

nice lightweight shoes
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit:True to size
These are my first Mizuno pair and I really like them. They are lightweight and the color is catchy (two of the biggest draw for me to these shoes). The color is less neon than it looks online - really nice bright yellow color :) Went on a 4 miler today and they felt great right out of the box. Time will tell how they would hold up on longer distances. I toggle between a 9 and a 9.5 and I opted for the 9.5 - which is perfect size with socks on. The upper mesh is great and I imagine this would be really nice on hot runs. The only thing I'm wary of is the secondary upper material which lines the toes and parts of the heel - it looks/feels flimsy and I think they'd wear or rip off easily. The lace material feels a bit substandard and I might actually replace them. Other than that I am pretty happy with this purchase - especially since I got them at a sale price.
Run Small
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit:Runs small
I love Mizunos but these shoes run a size small. I have had two of their wave riders in a 8.5, but I had to go up to a 9.5 in these for my toes not to get crammed into the front. All in all I love them though and am glad I sized up.

|By: Greg Robidoux | Read Comments (12) | Related Tips: 1 | 2 | 3 | More > Indexing
One very important design aspect when creating a new table is the decision to create or not create a clustered index. A table that does not have a clustered index is referred to as a HEAP and a table that has a clustered index is referred to as a clustered table. A clustered table provides a few benefits over a heap such as physically storing the data based on the clustered index, the ability to use the index to find the rows quickly and the ability to reorganize the data by rebuilding the clustered index. Depending on the INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE activity against your tables your physical data can become very fragmented. This fragmentation can lead to wasted space in your database, because of partly full pages as well as the need to read several more pages in order to satisfy the query. So what can be done?
The primary issue that we want to address is the fragmentation that occurs with normal database activity. Depending on whether your table has a clustered index or not will determine if you can easily address the fragmentation problem down to the physical data level. Because a heap or a clustered index determines the physical storage of your table data, there can only be one of these per table. So a table can either have one heap or one clustered index.
Let's take a look at the differences between a heap and clustered table.
source: SQL Server 2005 books online
Clustered Table
source: SQL Server 2005 books online
So based on the above you can see there are a few fundamental differences on whether a table has a clustered index or not.
A problem that occurs on all tables is the issue of becoming fragmented. Depending on the activity performed such as DELETES, INSERTS and UPDATES, your heap tables and clustered tables can become fragmented. A lot of this depends on the activity as well as the key values that are used for your clustered index.
Identifying Fragmentation
To identify whether your clustered table or heap table is fragmented you need to either run DBCC SHOWCONTIG (2000 or 2005) or use the new DMV sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats (2005). These commands will give you insight into the fragmentation problems that may exist in your table. For further information on this take a look at this past tip: SQL Server 2000 to 2005 Crosswalk - Database Fragmentation.
Resolving Fragmentation
Clustered Tables
Resolving the fragmentation for a clustered table can be done easily by rebuilding or reorganizing your clustered index. This was shown in this previous tip: SQL Server 2000 to 2005 Crosswalk - Index Rebuilds.
Heap Tables
For heap tables this is not as easy. The following are different options you can take to resolve the fragmentation:
Additional Info
When creating a new table via Enterprise Manager or Management Studio when you specify a primary key for the table, the management tools automatically make this a clustered index, but this can be overridden. When creating a new table via scripts you need to identify that the table be created with a clustered index. So based on this most of your tables are going to have a clustered index, because of the primary key, but if you do not specify a primary key or build a clustered index the data will be stored as a heap.

Hi Emmanuel,
The growth of the log is caused by large transactions in conjunction with other processes that may not clear the log such as replication, a database in FULL recovery model and no transaction log backups are being performed, database mirroring is setup but the databases are not synchronizing., etc.
If you have large tables and therefore large indexes when rebuilding the index it will take up a lot of space in the transaction log, so this would need to be monitored.
As far as your steps below go I would rebuild and reorg indexes where needed. There are several scripts on MSSQLTips.com that you can find as well as plenty others on the web to only do index maintenance when needed.
As far as shrinking goes I would only do this if the log gets way out of control. The best thing to do is to run your normal transactions and maintenance and see how large the log file gets. This should then be your baseline to how large your log needs to be to perform all of the operations for your database. I would advise against constantly having the log grow and then shrinking it again. This should only be done if an anomaly occurs and therefore this is needed to keep things in check.
Hope this answers your question.

Hi Greg,
Before I proceed, God bless you for the nice article.
I resumed a new job recently and an issue was reported to me about the database transaction log file(.ldf) expanding very fast. This also in a way affects the system memory, and delays transaction operations at the particular hour when a whole lot of transactions are performed.
I discovered they do shrink the database whenever this occurs so I began thinking of a permanent solution.
What came to my mind at first was:
1. index rebuilding/ reorganizing.
2. "Is database shrinking a good idea?"
So while searching for articles on that online, I came across yours. After going through your comprehensive article, I decided a periodic shrink and index reorganizing while I also advice for an increase in the system RAM and Disc space.
Please is this a good idea (Expecially for an Enterprise app)?

@Cameron - the Clustered index contains all of the data for a table including the non-indexed columns. So by specifiying columns for the Clustered index, when the index is created the data will be stored in that order. As new data is added SQL Server needs to add the rows to existing pages or get new data pages which introduces fragmentation and the data is not physically stored together.

Could you expand on this more. What exactly do you mean by "stored in order"? Do you mean on disk or what exactly. I thought that data was not necessarily stored in order.

Hi Greg,
I think I found what I was looking for:
"As soon as you create a clustered index, that becomes the table. All the data is stored at the leaf level of the index. So when you have a clustered index, and you get a scan, you'll only ever see a clustered index scan and never a table scan. This is because the cluster is the table."
I hope that is correct.
Thank you very much.

Hi Greg,
Thank you for the response.
>>a clustered index is the same as the table
So, Is there only one object? What is not clear to me is the logical architecture of the clustered table. Is it correct to say that all records are stored inside de clustered index? In this case, FULL TABLE SCAN and INDEX SCAN are the same in a clustered table?
Thank you

@Leo - a clustered index is the same as the table. The clustered index just tells SQL Server how to sort the data for storage.
If there is a not a clustered index the table is called a heap and there is no specfic ordering of the data.

Hi Greg,
The clustered index and the table are separeted objects or they are the same object inside the Data File?

Very userful post. Cleared up a lot for me. I was confused as to whether or not a heap is created for each non clustered index. I was wondering why it would be necessary to use possibly double the space simply to make queries faster. "Because a heap or a clustered index determines the physical storage of your table data, there can only be one of these per table. So a table can either have one heap or one clustered index." You cleared it up for me - Thanks.

Sorting through the Dramatic New Retiree Health Care Accounting Rules
Spalding, Albert, Reinstein, Alan, Gray, Peter C., Journal of Commercial Lending
Bankers and other financial statement users will see financial statements in coming months that will reflect the most dramatic plunge in earnings ever reported by U.S. businesses.(1) And the drop will not be the result of economic recession, industry turmoil, the ravages of imports, or management inefficiency.
The drop in earnings will be the result of a change in accounting rules. In particular, the "hit" is the result of the issuance of SFAS No. 106 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).(2) The rule requires the accrual of postemployment health care benefits in lieu of the traditional "pay as you go" method of accounting for these costs.
Effect on Corporate Earnings
The accounting change, which has already triggered or exacerbated huge corporate losses, is one of the most significant and complicated modifications to financial statements ever announced by the accounting profession. Its effects have been immediate and striking. Some companies, for example, have already reported that a significant portion of their net worths will be consumed by the charge to earnings caused by the new rule.
For example, General Motors Corporation has a net worth of $28 billion, but this accounting rule is expected to absorb $24 billion. Ford Motor Company's entire $6 billion net worth will be virtually wiped out by the change. And USX's net worth of $5.3 billion is expected to shrink to less than half that amount after the change is implemented.(3)
Smaller companies will be affected just as seriously. In a survey by William M. Mercer, Inc., it was reported that companies with fewer than 1,000 employees will experience an increase in their retiree health benefit expense by a factor of three or more, as indicated in Figure 1.(4)
The implementation of SFAS No. 106 can also have an adverse impact on the financial statements of commercial banks. Citicorp has disclosed that the application of SFAS No. 106 will result in a 4% reduction in stockholder equity, an amount of approximately $400 million. Other banks maintaining retiree health programs will be similarly affected.
A major employee benefits consulting firm, Towers, Perrin, Forster & Crosby, analyzed the potential effect of SFAS No. 106 on 200 mid- to large-size companies. It concluded that if the new rules had been in effect in 1990, those companies would have had to accrue $2,500 per active employee (rather than the current cost of $340 per employee) on their 1990 financial statements. About 30% of that $2,500 covers prior year service (and could therefore be amortized over 20 years), and the rest covers the costs expected to be incurred between now and retirement.
The Old Rule
Until now, most companies have accounted for the cost of postemployment health care, life insurance, housing allowances, and similar benefits under the cash basis method or have otherwise accrued those benefits on their financial statements as employees have retired. Several reasons governed this prior method of accounting:
1. The quantitative difference between preretirement accrual of these costs and the cash method was often thought to be immaterial.
2. The benefit (in terms of more useful or more fair financial statement information) of early accrual of these postemployment benefits did not appear to outweigh the costs, including the actuarial costs of obtaining such information.
3. The mix of ages in various companies within an industry did not differ so significantly that an intercompany comparison of financial statements reflecting such accruals would yield substantially different analytical results from a comparison of the same statements without such accruals.
The New Rule
As health care costs have soared, however, the impact of postemployment health care costs has increased. In the 11 years from 1976 to 1987. spending for medical care generally exceeded inflation by almost 80%. …

Small businesses rely on email messages to stay in contact with their customers in between shopping trips. In fact, email outreach was listed as second-most common method for achieving customer loyalty in Constant Contact's 2013 Small Business Saturday Insights survey, falling just behind offering a great product or service. Soon, SMBs might see stronger metrics from their email marketing campaigns because Gmail announced it's automatically displaying images in the messages they send.
Previously, recipients would have to click a button to give permission before Gmail would display images. This was a precautionary method to protect users' security, because the way Google used to handle images – pulling them from sender's' proxy servers – provided data about recipients that might leave them vulnerable to spammers and hackers.
This same data is extremely valuable to businesses running email marketing campaigns. If recipients opened the emails but didn't click the link to load the images – and that data wasn't sent – SMBs couldn't necessarily track those instances in their open rates.
It's important to distinguish that this doesn't mean more people are reading emails per se, but it does mean SMBs will be empowered with more accurate information about their successes and failures.
Now Gmail is serving images on its own servers, so it's safe for consumers to see the images in marketing messages, and Google reps told Marketing Land this could mean better open rate tracking. It's important to distinguish that this doesn't mean more people are reading emails per se, but it does mean SMBs will be empowered with more accurate information about their successes and failures.
The updated image display policy and resulting access to open rate data will give small businesses a better idea about when their strategies are most effective – Daytime vs. nighttime sends, the kinds of subject lines that resonate with readers, etc. With these insights at their fingertips, SMBs can make more informed decisions about their email marketing to keep customers happy and coming back for future purchases.

I used to be a planner, also super-organized (and this is the part where my husband would insist otherwise and I would end any possibility of a long, drawn out debate, by insisting back "WAS SO!" Because I am a great debater, like that!), but those days seem so long ago.
In our house, the holidays were my Olympics! I researched recipes, collected odds and ends for binge-crafting sessions with the kids and made lists for ALL things holi"daze".
This year? I'm lucky if I remember to wear matching earrings, and leaving the house with shoes on, and I can't tell you how many times I've caught myself wondering if I had remembered to use shampoo after already having gotten out of the shower.
My mommybrain is all grown up and waiting for someone to strain my carrots, dammit.
Now with Dad in and out of hospitals and rehab centers, since the end of August, I can't seem to think past remembering to eat lunch. Our parents play a large part of our celebrations and, now that our kids are getting older, (us too!) I keep reminding myself that every day we spend together is a gift.
"What's gonna happen on Thanksgiving?"
Thanksgiving has ALWAYS been my son's favorite holiday and now that he's turning 17 (ugh, really?!?) and has the appetite of a 17yo (a.k.a. never NOT hungry) he's taken over the menu-planning :)
"I haven't even thought about it, so don't know what we're doing, Bud!"
Truth be told, I'm still trying to figure out where September went.
"Well, if Papa is still in the hospital, we'll just have to bring Thanksgiving to him, that's all!"
[one beat, two beats]
"I mean, it doesn't matter where we have it, or if we cop a squat in the corner and eat off of trays, as long as we are together, right?!?"
I'm still trying to clear the massive goober that has formed in my throat, so I have yet to get back to him on that one, but I think maybe he already knows the answer and it was more of a rhetorical question, because these kids are way smarter than me.
"Wait, is that Christmas music you're playing?"
My oldest daughter, on the other hand...
"YUP! Don't judge!"
Gahdfuhbid, it's like she doesn't EVEN know me!!!!

Yesterday started out uneventfully enough -- I hopped onto the train (okay, so it was more like a slow side-step, being very weary of not falling in between the dreaded gap) settled into my seat (near the emergency exit, of course!) and then started playing around with my phone.
And then my left eye began to twitch and I started rubbing it...and rubbing it...and daaaaaaang, what is UP with the itching...so I rubbed it some more, blaming the stupid cat or the dumbass dog for dumping hair all over the house.
I got into work and then the coughing started...cough-cough...hack...gag...cough-cough...OMG!!!...what is up with all this...cough-cough...hacking?!?!?! I've had this weird sort of nothing cough since spring, so I thought maybe it's allergies...rub...rub...rub...and the itchy eyes must be like fall allergies...OR...I'm just allergic to work.
What?!? YOU TOO!!! Ugh, one of us needs to win the lottery and end our agony, right?!?
So, by the end of the day, my left eye was beginning to hurt and now my right eye was getting all weepy, but I really needed to finish up a few projects before leaving for home, so I texted my husband:
So, I got on the train and then the pain hit...not like, hmmmm, this sucker hurts...I'm talking about the full-metal-holy-crap-I'm-dying-ova-here...ME EYE!!!! And then I InstaFacebooked it:
Seeeeee, totally gross, right?!?!?
So my husband, Garth (not his real name) picks me up at the train station and takes me to the doctors office. We were waiting for quite a while and I was getting restless, because ME EYE!!! So, as a way of distracting myself from the full-metal-holy-crap-I'm-dying-ova-here, I started telling my husband about the conversation I had with my co-workers, before leaving the office.
"I told them it was probably pink eye and then one of them asked me if I had heard about the licking eyeball fetish?!?"
[blank stare]
"I looked it up on the train home and found out it has a name, too: Oculolinctus."
"Even though I was a little afraid about Googling licking eyeballs, because you never know what the Internet will spit out!"
Aaaaand, oh how he laughed...and laughed...
[the sound of crickets chirping]
Moral of the Story: I put the LOL into Oculolinctus!
[the sound of crickets gasping for air, and then falling down, dead before even hitting the floor]
Stupid pink eye, dumbass OcuLOLinctus.

I love going through my Instagram feed, especially while riding the train, first thing in the morning. You people take good pictures, while I play with apps and filters and pretend like I know what the heck I am doing. Photo apps are so much more forgiving, they make even the most...meh, it's a drawbridge...image worth an extra 3 seconds of non-scrolling.
Today, I took this picture of one of my favorite little coves along the water (in between the Raritan River and the New York Bay) and a drawbridge...but, well, the poor drawbridge can't help its utilitarian feel. I mean, it's a drawbridge. A hard-working, under-appreciated and often times thought of as an inconvenience to commuters rushing to and from work type of drawbridge. And it deserves a little love, dammit.
Add a little charcoal filter and it becomes a much more interesting drawbridge, don't you think? Even the high-tension wires in the the back look almost cool and the shadowing of the water directly under the bridge, very deep!
Hit it with a little pen and ink, and the drawbridge transforms into something so unlike a drawbridge, right? Still, I can't stop staring at it.
This one is called Fusain Painting, which means creating art with a charcoal in stick form, made from the wood of the spindle tree -- don't believe me? Google it, like I did :)
Aaaaand, then my favorite filter: Van Gogh Style! I adore the coloring, now this drawbridge makes me feel all artsy-fartsy and stuff. Thank you SO MUCH and have a nice day, drawbridge!

Was wondering if anyone know the quickest/cheapest/easiest way to get from HCMC to Siem Reap,
I am leaving from PP to BKK after visiting SR so don't really want to have to go through PP twice but is this the only way?
I have read that you can get the 'Mekong Express' from HCMC to PP and then catch another bus from PP to SR..but this sounds a bit time consuming? If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi JessRH,
Welcome to Travelfish!
So you're going Saigon - Phnom Penh - Siem Reap - Phnom Penh - Bangkok right?
The cheapest way will be to take the Mekong Express Bus -- remember the bus from SR to PP only takes around 3-4 hours, while the Saigon to PP bus takes all day as you tend to get "delayed" at the border.
Your only other option would be to fly from Saigon to Siem Reap, but that isn't particularly cheap...

On behalf of the parents and families of the Squirt C Ice Hawk hockey team, we would like to thank the following for their donations and sponsorship of the 2013 State Hockey Tournament. Without you, an event of this magnitude would have been impossible. We appreciate your part in making this tournament a success and for investing in the youth of this community.
We would like to take the time to thank the many people and organizations that made the First Annual Tesoro Alaska Daubenspeck Park Pond Hockey Tournament a success. First, we would like to thank our Sponsor, Tesoro Alaska, for their generous financial support. Also, the City of Kenai and their employees Bob Frates, Alex Koch and Chris Konig who worked tirelessly to assure that the Daubenspeck Park Pond was in perfect shape for the tournament.
We are so grateful for the facilities here on the Kenai Peninsula that are available for individuals in need of medical care.
For many years nations had a three-mile territorial limit based on the distance a cannon ball could fly. Unfortunately, three miles was insufficient to protect U.S. fish. Japanese hunters and fishermen entered Alaskan waters by 1905. In June of that year the Revenue Cutter Perry found four Japanese schooners at Attu Island. They had 6,500 salmon on board, a partially-built floating trap and a shore camp.
Kenai Middle School and their Shinny Hockey Club would like to thank Rick Koch, Bob Frates, Dave Essert and the City of Kenai for their continued support and use of the skating rink. Each year during the dark of winter, Kenai Middle School offers many unique club opportunities to their students. For six Fridays during third quarter, students are able to choose from a menu of club offerings. The menu includes the following: hockey, rock wall climbing, arts/crafts, robotics, dodge ball and many other interesting offerings.
The Kaleidoscope School of Arts and Science Art Piece Committee sends heartfelt thanks to the sponsors, donors and volunteers who made the Fiesta in February a phenomenal success. Your generous contributions were essential in meeting the goal of moving on to the exciting second phase of the project: the much-anticipated "call to artists"!
Thank you to all who attended the Fiesta and helped make it not only a successful fundraiser, but a fun and memorable family event!
The Nikiski Middle/High School Track and Field athletes, coaches, and parents wish to extend a huge "Thank You" to all those involved in helping to clear snow from the Nikiski track this year.
Last year we were unable to have Regions here because of the late snow fall and the fact that heavy equipment is not allowed on this new type of track surface.
After discussions with KPB Mayor Mike Navarre and KPB Public Works Director Sean Wedemeyer, a workable solution was found, which included help from the City of Kenai.
Soldotna High School Basketball Boosters would like to thank the following businesses for their generous donations to our hospitality room during the recent Region III Basketball Tournament: Coca-Cola of Kenai, Kaladi Brothers Coffee, Froso's Restaurant, Three Bears, Save-U-More, Kenai Carrs/Safeway and Berry Cool Yogurt. Your generosity in combination with the hard work, time and effort of countless parents was truly immeasurable and all made the hospitality room a resounding success!
I want to thank the many people who helped with the benefit for me, it was greatly appreciated and unexpected. First off I want to thank the VFW for having the benefit in their building, the many people who donated their time to help put the benefit together, all the donations for the auction, anyone who was able to make it, and last but not least the 8 Mile Band. I appreciate all my family and friends, whether they were able to make it or not. These are the people that have helped me through this journey and will help me to continue to push forward.
When an older person has nothing to do, but "sit and think" weird thoughts can happen. I was looking at the prize list for the Iditarod, and my imagination took over. $50,400 and a new truck to the winner Mr. Seavey, while on a sunny weekend in Florida, a golfer made about $1.5 million for 4 days of play. Now I have played sports all my life and know how difficult the game of golf is, but it does not compare to feeding and training a dog team in winter, running a team at night at 30 degrees below zero while most training for golf is in the sunshine.

Philadelphia Eagles' receiver DeSean Jackson has already given his opinion on who he thinks will be his starting quarterback. That didn't stop Jackson from once again speaking up about the competition.
Jackson gives Michael Vick the edge in the quarterback competition over Nick Foles on ESPN's First Take.
In my opinion, honestly, I don't want to be put on the spot," DeSean Jackson said. "But Michael Vick's got a lot of confidence in himself. He's been there going on 12 years in the NFL, and I think he'll get the job. I think Michael Vick will probably be the starter, but we still don't know. I think Chip Kelly's going to keep everybody honest.
Jackson also gives his opinion on why he thinks Vick has struggled the past two years.
They tried to switch his playing skills up a little bit, try to sit back and just be a pocket passer," Jackson said. "Michael Vick is a quarterback that uses his legs first and foremost. When things break down, that's what he's got to depend on. He can't sit back there and just take hits. . . . To try to get a Michael Vick to stay in the pocket when things shut down, that's hard to do.
I actually think Jackson makes a great point there. Andy Reid tried to transform Vick into a traditional, defense-reading, pocket-passing quarterback and that's just not Vick's game. It's also fair to wonder if the abuse Vick's received the past two years slowed him down to the point where he lost what once made him one of the most electrifying players in the NFL.

Fab Blab: Katy Perry Talks Clothing Lines and Style Icons
There are more than a slew of celebrity clothing lines out there, but none with a retro twist. The cute-as-a-button Katy Perry may fill that void with a possible clothing collection. "I've always experimented with clothes and have my own style inspired by pin-up girls and Lolita," she said. "I love to create a character, and I like looking like I've just stepped out of a history book." She certainly did that in her Manish Arora merry-go-round dress (left).
As for her style icons? "Agyness Deyn and Dita Von Teese." It remains to be seen if she acts on her intentions, but given Katy's whimsical style, I would love to see what she dreams up.

Davidson Deac II replied to nctarheel0619's topic in Carolina PanthersAll starting means is that they will get the first snap. After that, its probably going to be situational.

k. Personally I don't really care if Romo is among the top 5 qb's we have faced. Romo is a decent to good qb depending on who you ask, but the key imo will be who controls the line of scrimmage (as it usually is).
If you are replying to me, I never used the phrase "qb's the panthers have faced". He is in the upper half of all NFL qb's.

2jakefansinva liked a post in a topic: What Cowboys Fans Are Saying
I imagine that Jerry Jones and the rest of the Cowboys front office is getting a little desperate. No Superbowls in a long time, and its highly doubtful they even make the playoffs this year. Even if they beat us, they have games at Green Bay and at Buffalo, both in December. Odds are they lose at least one of those and probably both. Romo is a top half of the league qb, the best the Cowboys have had since Aikman left. But he is 35 years old, and probably has a year or two left before his skills begin to drop off. And replacing him with a QB of equal or greater ability will not be easy. So their window is closing rapidly. And I hope we make it close a little more on Thursday.
The greg hardy vs michael oher matchup
Davidson Deac II replied to philw5289's topic in Carolina PanthersFour years I think. I don't think he practiced with us last year, except perhaps in preseason. I am not all that worried about him knowing or not knowing the playbook. Players move around all the time, so I am sure the teams prepare for this. Godfrey played for Atlanta last year and probably knew our plays as well as anyone, yet it did him and them no good whatsoever. Knowing player tendencies, especially our offensive linemen might be of greater benefit. But then the reverse is also true in that our offensive linemen know his tendencies.
Breaking: Turkish F-16 shot down Russian fighter jet
Davidson Deac II replied to ARSEN's topic in The TinderboxPutin will make a lot of noise, but I don't see him doing a whole lot, at least not at this point, except perhaps use it as a bargaining chip. But it will increase Russian hostile attitudes towards Turkey. Fwiw, the USS Truman and the French Carrier Charles Degaulle are apparently operating together in the Eastern Med near Syria. We have some fairly significant air assets in the area.

NFL refs and reffing inconsistencies
Davidson Deac II replied to Doc Holiday's topic in Carolina PanthersThis is not just an NFL thing. I remember a former ACC coach talking about knowing the tendencies of certain officials, and game planning accordingly. I do wonder if scouting teams report on referee crew tendencies. If not, then perhaps they should, if such a thing is allowed. I don't really blame the refs for seeming inconsistent though. The NFL almost seems to go out of its way to make certain rules as difficult as possible to enforce.
Week 12 Power Rankings
Davidson Deac II replied to ItsNotGonnaBeAlright's topic in Carolina PanthersI might agree if the legacy was from 10 years or more ago. But the Patriots won the Superbowl last year with pretty much the same team they have now. They will be number one in the rankings until someone beats them. Preferably us in the Superbowl in the first SB battle of unbeatens. Not that I really care that much anyway. These polls are interesting to discuss on message boards, but beyond that, they are meaningless.
The Stupid Double Standard in the Media
Davidson Deac II replied to gtanaka's topic in Carolina PanthersYou might be right, but I also think that not having any big name offensive players besides Newton plays into it. We are kind of a no name offense.

Buffalo's is absolutely horrid. 2 minutes and they move the ball 25 yards with the qb throwing 5 yard passes and staring at the sideline for 20 seconds. Taylor was obviously hurt, should have been yanked.
We're a nameless, faceless opponent - Hardy

Atlanta Falcons.... RISE UP
Davidson Deac II replied to thebigcat's topic in Carolina PanthersOr maybe they have over performed to get to 6 wins, and what we are seeing now is a more realistic performance for them. Paying a price for using so many draft picks to get Julio Jones. Don't get me wrong, Jones is one of the better receivers in the NFL. But they could have used some more offensive and defensive line players.
What's our magic number to clinch a playoff berth and/or the division?
Davidson Deac II replied to Sam Mills Fan's topic in Carolina PanthersWe clinch the division with 3 wins. Or two wins if one of them is against Atlanta.
