SQL Statements for Backing-up Databanks
Refer to the Mimer SQL Reference Manual, Chapter 12, SQL Statement Descriptions for a detailed description and syntax definition of the SQL system management functions. A brief description of the purpose of each function appears here.
Online Backup Commands
The SQL system management statements that can be used to take backups are:
START BACKUP starts a backup transaction and clears the log records for the databank backups taken within it. CREATE BACKUP creates a backup within a backup transaction. By default an online backup is created, but optionally an exclusive backup can be initiated, which will lock the databank from other users. COMMIT BACKUP commits a started backup transaction. ROLLBACK BACKUP aborts a backup transaction and ensures that all log records are preserved.
To use these statements to take a databank backup, the user must either be the creator of the databank, or have BACKUP privilege.
When the SQL statements are used to take a backup of a databank, the entire process of taking a databank backup is handled automatically.
The use of a backup transaction ensures that the backups taken within the transaction are consistent with one another, as each backup is effectively taken at the same point in time. Log records are cleared for successfully backed up databanks when the backup transaction is committed. If LOGDB is included in the backup transaction all log records are cleared.
Online/Offline Commands
The SQL system management statements (typically used when taking databank backups using the host file system) that can be used to set a databank, shadow or the whole database online or offline are:
SET DATABASE OFFLINE sets all non-system databanks offline, and makes the database unavailable.If one of the databanks cannot be set offline (e.g. because it is being used), the command will fail. SET DATABASE ONLINE sets all databanks online, optionally clearing all records from LOGDB and makes the database available. SET DATABANK OFFLINE sets a databank offline and the databank pages are updated with all changes made by committed transactions so far.The databank file is closed (except SYSDB, which always remains open as long as the database server is running) so the file can be copied, and it becomes unavailable to database users. SET DATABANK ONLINE sets a databank online, making it available, optionally clearing records from LOGDB. SET SHADOW OFFLINE sets a list of shadows offline, making them unavailable. SET SHADOW ONLINE sets a list of shadows online, making them available, optionally clearing records from LOGDB.
A user setting the database online/offline, must have BACKUP privilege and must be the only user accessing the database.
A user setting a databank or a shadow online/offline, must either be the creator of the databank or have BACKUP privilege.
Restore Command
The SQL system management statement used to recover a databank in the event of it being damaged or destroyed is:
ALTER DATABANK RESTORE used to restore a databank from a backup copy by using a LOGDB backup and/or the information currently in the LOGDB system databank.
A user using this function to restore a databank must be the creator of the databank or have BACKUP privilege.

The Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) has confirmed to receive an appeal lodged by Young Africans (Yanga) for three docked points in the Mainland Premier League and will work out on it after Easter holydays.
Speaking with The Guardian yesterday, the TFF media officer, Boniface Wambura, said the appeal was received on Thursday evening and will be presented to the responsible committee on Tuesday.
Wambura said after receiving the appeal on Thursday evening, they tried to contact the federation's chairman of disciplinary and reconciliation committee, retired Police Commissioner Alfred Tibaigana, but their efforts ended in vain.
The Tibaigana committee declined to work out on Yanga's much touted appeal to protest about three-point loss to Coastal Union as it was not tabled.
Yanga were docked the three points by the premier league committee earlier this week as a result of fielding suspended defender Haroub in a match against Costal Union which they had won by a lone goal last Saturday in Tanga.
Haroub played the match as club officials played down his suspension resulting from a straight red card during the match against Azam on March 10.
Earlier, Yanga had submitted two appeals to the disciplinary and reconciliation committee, the first lodged on March 11 claiming an annulment of the match against Azam.
The second was submitted on March 14 with details that contradicted the first as the club protested the suspensions and fines imposed on the players during the match.
Before the appeals were discussed Yanga opted to withdraw the first appeal.
Yanga left back Stephano Mwasika, who was found guilty of punching referee Israel Mujuni, has been slapped a fine to the tune of two millions and suspended for the rest of the ongoing season.
Yanga have five matches to play. The player was initially banned for a year and fined one million shillings.
Two other players, including midfielder Nurdin Bakari and Omega Seme, have been suspended for three matches and pay one million shillings fine each.
The committee reduced a six-match suspension imposed on defender Nadir Haroub to three matches after picking up a straight red card during the chaos.
However, he is supposed to pay a fine of one million shillings and waived an additional three-match suspension as imposed by the premier league committee earlier based on chapter 25(c) of the rules and regulations governing the league.
Yanga's substitute player during the match Jerryson Tegete has been reduced a six-month suspension to five matches and pay a fine to the tune of two million shillings.
Tibaigana's committee upholded the club's two 500,000/- valued fines imposed for crowd violence and conceding more than five warning cards as per section 32(1)and 25(1).
The committee said the suspensions and fines are effective the day the premier league committee had imposed.
Basing on that, players who have already served the suspensions will be free to play for the club subject to payment of the fines.
Tibaigana gave a verbal warning to the club officials to adhere to the suspensions and pay fines as otherwise an occurrence of similar offence in the future would result in more stringent disciplinary measures.
The National golf team has stepped up its preparations for the coming zone V1which will be hosted by Malawi starting from 16-19 of this months at Lilongwe Golf Club (LGC)
Tanzania Golf Union executive secretary Sophia Nyanjera said the training are going well in Moshi where the team has camped in readiness for the tournament which has attracted 14 African countries.
She said TGU has 10 golfers camping and they are all in good mood, she however said due to lack of finances TGU will send only 8 golfers to Lilongwe.
Nyanjera named the 10 golfers currently camping as Nuru Moller , Frank Romani , Jimmy Moller , Martin Macdonald ,Elisante Lembris , John Saidi , Isaac Inania , Michael Makala , Abas Adam and John Leonce .
She could not say when the final squad for the games will be released saying the coach is better placed to know the date.

As one of the guinea pigs for expanded and third-party drug testing in MMA, Rory MacDonald admits the process is a bit annoying.
But, he said, it's doable.
MacDonald (13-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC), of course, agreed to undergo Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) testing with opponent B.J. Penn (16-8-2 MMA, 12-7-2 UFC), whom he meets next month in a featured welterweight bout at UFC on FOX 5.
MacDonald discussed the process today on "Training Day: Inside Tristar Gym Live." The live FUEL TV special gave viewers an inside look at the Canadian gym, where MacDonald, teammate/UFC 154 headliner Georges St-Pierre, and other Tristar members are preparing for upcoming fights.
UFC on FOX 5 takes place Dec. 8 at Seattle's KeyArena, and MacDonald vs. Penn is one of the network-televised bouts.
"It already started," MacDonald said of the VADA testing. "My first test was last week. … I got a random knock on the door. They did the test. So from here to the fight, it's just random testing."
And the process itself?
"It's pretty annoying," he said. "I don't like getting woken up in the morning. It threw my routine off. I didn't expect it. I forget about it, to tell you the truth. It was a bit annoying that day, but if it only happens a few times, a couple times, I can deal with it."
MacDonald agreed to the testing at the urging of Penn for their bout at UFC 152. However, when MacDonald was forced off the September card due to a cut, the matchup was rebooked for UFC on FOX 5.
VADA has stated the result of the random testing will be submitted to the Washington Professional Athletics Program, the Association of Boxing Commissions and the UFC. The nonprofit organization is working with a handful of MMA fighters as an unofficial pilot program. Officials hope to show how VADA-type testing can work within and complement the sport's current structure, in which state athletic commissions are usually in charge of drug testing.
The VADA testing has provided further fuel to a growing rivalry between MacDonald and Penn, which has played out (often humorously) on Twitter. MacDonald, though, fights for the first time since April, he looks to extend his current three-fight win streak, and he anxiously awaits a chance to post a high-profile win against one of the biggest names in the sport.
"I'm a little bit sick of waiting," he said. "I'm pretty much ready to go anytime now. It's just a waiting game now. I'm just trying to kill time by training."

Nissan Altima 1998-2001, Front Fender Splash Shield by Replace®. Inner Fender Liners keep road debris from inside the engine compartment. These usually unseen panels can be damaged in a front end collision, but they're also susceptible to rust damage from years of water, snow, salt and dirt thrown up by the front tires. A new inner fender liner from the dealer can be very expensive, but you don't have to let the high dealer price unduly lighten your wallet or keep you from making needed repairs. Replace has quality replacement inner fender liners that are identical to original equipment (OE) for much less than the OE price. With Replace you'll be back on the road with cash in your pocket.
- Same quality as OE for less money
- Designed with the latest software and manufactured with modern tooling
- Direct replacement
- Installs the same as factory unit
- Same dimensions as OE part
- Same gauge material as OE
- No vehicle modifications required for installation
- Backed by a limited lifetime warranty
A front inner fender liner can be crumpled if the outer fender takes a severe hit, but these panels are also vulnerable to other types of damage. The tops of the inner fender liners usually look okay, but when you get down near the bottoms you can usually find damage from spilled battery acid or rust from years of rocks, water, snow, ice, salt, sand and gravel thrown up by the tires. These panels are important to ensure that other front end panels fit properly, so any time a front inner fender liner is damaged a repair should be made with a quality replacement.
In the past your options for replacing a damaged front inner fender liner were finding a good used panel, buying a cheap replacement, or paying big bucks for an OE inner fender liner. Because damage to this panel is so prevalent, searching for a useable part from a scrap yard is a waste of time, and you may end up owning an inner fender liner with hidden damage that was incorrectly repaired with excess body filler. And many cheap replacement panels don't fit properly and aren't even made of the proper gauge material.
Today you can fix your car or truck properly and have money left in your pocket with a new quality replacement front inner fender liner from Replace. Replace offers OE quality body parts at less than original equipment prices. You get the same quality part that you'd get at the dealer without the high dealer price. A Replace inner fender liner will look and fit just like an inner fender liner from the dealer, so your vehicle will look new again. Replace front inner fender liners are designed using the latest software so they exactly replicate the OE units, then they're manufactured using the most modern tooling, so the end product looks and fits exactly as designed. A Replace inner fender liner is made to the same dimensions as OE with the same gauge material.
Body repair is expensive enough without paying more than necessary for quality parts. A Replace inner fender liner is the sensible alternative to the high dealer price markup. A Replace inner fender liner will get you back on the road in a car or truck that looks brand new, without breaking the bank. Replace is so confident in the quality of its inner fender liners that they're backed by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for as long as the original purchaser owns the vehicle on which the part is installed. This includes perforation (metal rust-through) due to corrosion in normal use.
Replace® is dedicated to providing original equipment (OE) quality body parts and lights without the high OE price. Rather than deal with so-called "universal" parts that may or may not fit your vehicle, Replace sells only parts that have OE quality fit, function and appearance. They believe such parts should be affordable so you can repair your vehicle to its former state, restoring your pride of ownership and preserving its resale value. With Replace parts you can just say no to high dealer prices.

Countless, countless inside sources, including Dr. Steve Pieczenik who personally worked with Osama Bin Laden have confirmed that Osama died nearly a decade ago and his corpse has been on ice ever since. However the news of his death has been purposefully withdrawn from general public to be announced at a more politically convenient time. As we have witnessed over the past few days, this time has now come. Osama Bin Laden has been dead for years, however announcing his death back then would not have delivered an anticipated impact.
There has been nothing but withdrawn statements, fake pictures, story of his body being dumped into the sea and other lies from Barack Obama and his fellow high officials who are having hard time fooling everyone. Obama sheep stick their noses deep up his ass, but not everyone is that clueless.
In April 2002, Steve R. Pieczenik – member of Council on Foreign Relations, who served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, and James Baker, told Alex Jones that Bin Laden had already been "dead for months". Osama Bin Laden had been dead for months In April 2002! We're in 2011 now – it's been years since his death.
Dr. Steve Pieczenik is one of the most fearless former high politicians who knows what he's talking about. It doesn't get any more credible than that. Because George Bush's presidency gained momentum when he declared war on terror, there was no sense in trying to boost his ratings in the eyes of average American any more so the people behind the curtain left this high card in their sleeve until the end of Barack Obama's presidential term. Barack Obama is otherwise a major failure so if killing of Osama Bin Laden is assigned to him, he would be seen by majority of Americans as a hero which would both boost his pre-election ratings, but it would also take focus away from collapsing economy and ongoing war in Middle East which takes money away from the tax payers to give it to private contractors who are raking in trillions of dollars.
Back to Steve Pieczenik – aside from serving under three different administrations as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Dr. Steve Pieczenik also worked under Reagan and Bush senior, and still works as a consultant for the Department of Defense. Dr. Steve Pieczenik is a former US Navy Captain, achiever of two prestigious Harry C. Solomon Awards at the Harvard Medical School where he simultaneously completed a PhD at MIT.
Dr. Steve Pieczenik developed the basic tenets for psychological warfare, counter terrorism, strategy and tactics for transcultural negotiations for the US State Department, military and intelligence communities and other agencies of the US Government, while also developing foundational strategies for hostage rescue that were later employed around the world. He was originally recruited by Lawrence Eagleburger.
Dr. Steve Pieczenik also served as a senior policy planner under Secretaries Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, George Schultz and James Baker and worked on George W. Bush's election campaign against Al Gore. He is without doubt one of the best connected men in intelligence circles, with his connections extending over the past three decades.
As was confirmed by Dr. Steve Pieczenik many times before, auspicious announcement by Barack Obama that Osama Bin Laden was dead just over a year prior to him seeking re-election changes nothing on the fact that Osama Bin Laden has been dead for years. Latest interview with Alex Jones further confirms this information.
As Dr. Steve Pieczenik mentions in the video (below), General Tommy Franks accidentally confirmed that Osama Bin Laden is dead in a verbal slip that pissed off many people in the high places. Osama Bin Laden suffered from Marfan Syndrome which is a disease that significantly shortens the lifespan of patients who suffer from it. It is unlikely that a person who suffered from Marfan Syndrome would survive for extra 10 years.
General Tommy Franks was not the only one to officially confirm Osama's death. There is in fact a very long list of officials who clearly suggested that he was dead. Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State under President Clinton said that the Bush administration may already have captured Osama bin Laden and will release the news just before next year's presidential election. Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari said in 2009 that counterparts in the American intelligence agencies hadn't heard anything from Bin Laden in seven years… I don't think he's alive. All of the photos and videos of Osama Bin Laden released after 2001 were proven to be fake.
So what's the deal? Is Osama Bin Laden Dead or Alive? Check out the interview between Alex Jones and Dr. Steve Pieczenik which tells the truth about what is really going on and casts light on the issue of Osama's death closing it once and for all.

|Memory Alpha
|Alpha Quadrant
|United Federation of Planets
Template:Disambiguate Memory Alpha (also called The Memory Planet) was an inhabited planetoid of the Alpha Quadrant, and was the location of a Federation facility. Its location in the Milky Way Galaxy was shown on a Federation star chart in 2293. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, production art)
Prior to stardate 5725, the Memory Alpha library complex was established on an unnamed planetoid. This complex was an archive of the total cultural history and scientific knowledge of all Federation members. The library was assembled for academic purposes only. No defensive shielding was installed, as the information was available to anyone in the galaxy.
As of 2269, the library complex was an array consisting of five large and seven smaller domes on the surface of the planetoid. Aside from the technicians, the occupants of Memory Alpha varied with the number of scholars, researchers, and scientists from various Federation planets who were using the computer complex at any given time.
In that year, the USS Enterprise was en route to transfer newly-designed equipment to Memory Alpha. Lieutenant Mira Romaine was on her first deep space assignment to supervise the transport from the emergency manual monitor. Before the arrival of the Enterprise, Memory Alpha was attacked by the non-corporeal Zetarians.
While the Zetarians were attempting to take over the bodies of the personnel of Memory Alpha, they managed to cause extensive damage to the complex. The memory core of the computer, called the central brain, was burned out. The energy generator was rendered inoperative. All occupants of the complex died from brain damage caused by resisting the mind control efforts of the Zetarians. After the Zetarians were destroyed, the Enterprise returned to Memory Alpha to begin repairs. (TOS: "The Lights of Zetar")
In the mid-23rd century, Brian Vogt Raymond, the son of Max Gabl Raymond and his wife, was born on this planetoid. (TNG: "The Neutral Zone")

Background information
According to Michael Okuda: "Based on the size and spacing of the windows, I'd estimate that each of the domes must be similar to the Superdome." also "If you look very closely at the far left dome, you might notice a small blue patch on the top of the dome. That's the Memory Alpha emblem." [1]
"The Explored Galaxy" was a map of charted space in the Alpha Quadrant. Memory Alpha was located between the Tholian Assembly and Romulus. Both locations were identified in DS9: "The Search, Part II", "Call to Arms" as being located in this quadrant. This star chart was also seen in several Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes set in the 24th century, from the year 2364 to 2370. These were: TNG: "Conspiracy", "The Measure Of A Man", "The Emissary", "The Mind's Eye", "The Game" and DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets", "Cardassians".
According to Star Trek Maps (page 27) Memory Alpha was established for the Federation Centennial celebration and opened to the general public two years later. The library computer was only partially destroyed by the Zetarians and was overhauled after the attack. The resident population is six hundred. According to Star Trek: Star Charts ("United Federation of Planets I"), Memory Alpha was located in the Alpha Quadrant.
The Memory Alpha facility is mentioned in the 1988 novel sequel to "The Lights of Zetar", Memory Prime. Memory Alpha is also referred to in Boogeymen, and research done at the complex was referenced in Demons of Air and Darkness and Captain's Blood. Memory Alpha is mentioned in Losing the Peace.
In the comic Star Trek: Countdown, information from Memory Alpha was restricted while Nero was searching through the historical files on the USS Enterprise-E.
In the video game Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Fallen, Jadzia Dax consults the Memory Alpha database for information on the Grigari.
By 2409, in the game Star Trek Online, the complex expanded to circumnavigate the planetoid. The facility functions as a hub for crafting in the game, used to fabricate more advanced versions of standard items (equipment, weapons and such) as well as data sample storage. Memory Alpha is in the Alpha Centauri sector block, near the Romulan Neutral Zone.

Photography: Zanita
Clothing: Mango
Excited to share this collaboration between some of my favorites: Mango x the super talented & beautiful Zanita! A couple of months ago, you may remember I was in Barcelona having my summer experience with Mango … while we had fun exploring the city and following the activities Mango had planned for us, I was getting antsy to work on our shoot after the experience was over!
I've been blessed to meet and work with such amazing + talented people throughout my whole blogging experience, but one sweet lady I've been dying to work with was with my now good friend Zanita. She's the total package! Literally. I was beyond thrilled to find out I was going to be shot by Zanita. She really does capture the most sweetest moments and I have always been fan of her keen eye and editing skills! It was definitely such a dream team!
Mango has always been one of my favorite brands to work with and it really dates back to the beginning of when I started blogging; I've had such a great working relationship with them. Their new collection is something I'd love my whole wardrobe to be composed of. Animal print and denim? Yes please!
I hope you guys enjoy these photos by the amazing Zanita for Mango! I love them.
Thank you my beautiful friend Zanita, you're such an inspiration! Mango- thank you for making me a part of this collaboration! #dreamteam. Check out the magazine here.

"I made a lot of mistakes, from both sides ... I just looked at the stats on the way up the stairs. Twenty-four unforced errors is far too many. That's a set's worth. That's where half the points went."He served well. He won some points from there. When I started making a lot of errors, I started hitting the ball shorter. Then he was able to dictate all of the points from there. When you do that on clay, when you make a lot of unforced errors, your response is to take your foot off the gas on the shots. If you don't give any power or spin on the ball, it's easy to let your opponent dictate the point."
Being more aggressive has paid rich dividends for Murray in the last year, but on clay the balance between attack and defence can be harder to find. In going for his shots Murray kept making mistakes and when he became more cautious he allowed Wawrinka to dominate.

The Foo Fighters are an American rock band from Seattle, Washington, formed in 1994. Drummer Dave Grohl formed the group as a one-man project after the dissolution of his previous band, Nirvana. Prior to the release of the band's debut album in 1995, Grohl drafted two members from the former band Sunny Day Real Estate, Nate Mendel as bassist and William Goldsmith as drummer, as well as fellow Nirvana bandmate Pat Smear as guitarist to complete the group. Goldsmith left during the recording of the group's second album in 1997 and Smear's departure followed soon afterward. They were replaced by Taylor Hawkins and Franz Stahl, respectively, although Stahl left before the recording of the group'... Continue Bio >>

Mannie Fresh
T.I. vs. T.I.P.
Big Sh*t has been poppin' for Atlanta's T.I. ever since he released the now double platinum selling, King, in early 2006. Movie roles (ATL), television commercials (Budweiser) and noteworthy collaborations (My Love with Justin Timberlake) have all helped raised the stock of one of Hip-Hop's hottest acts. On the first single from his summer-ready release, T.I. vs. T.I.P., the self proclaimed "King of the South" reminds us all of what he's been upto the past year or so. With booming production from Mannie Fresh and an attentive audience, all that's missing from T.I.'s party is some bottles to unscrew.

In a rare appearance at a House Education Committee Wednesday, Madigan said the governor's plan would give unions too much control over the process of certifying teachers.
Gov. Rod Blagojevich wants to create a certification board with most of its members appointed by teachers unions.
The proposal is part of his plan to gut the State Board of Education, which currently has the final say on whether teachers are deemed qualified.
Supporters of the change say it would not be a major difference because teachers unions already have a big role in recommending who should sit on the certification board.

Building on its unique ties with the world of the 7th Art, Jaeger-LeCoultre is proud to be associating with the Académie André Delvaux and the Magritte Awards which annually celebrate the amazing richness of belgian cinema.
The 4th Ceremony of The Magritte Awards took place in Brussels on Saturday February the 1st. During this exceptional evening, 20 awards were presented to the most emblematic talents from the past year.
Keenly aware of the importance of these distinctions in acting careers, Jaeger-LeCoultre is delighted to present the Best Actor and Best Actress with a Reverso watch personalised in the Magritte Awards colours.
This year, Benoit Poelvoorde won the price of Best Actor for his performance in A place on earth and Pauline Etienne received the Best Actress award for her role played in The Nun. The Honorary Magritte Award celebrated the Director Emir Kusturica for its exceptional contribution to the world of cinema. As a souvenir of this unique moment, he received a personalised Atmos clock.
Jaeger-LeCoultre and the Académie André Delvaux are passionately committed to supporting and promoting film culture. A yearly "Talent Dinner" will bring together Belgian film talents in order to create and encourage new synergies. Promised to a bright future, each edition of this new collaboration will be presided over by a personality who will bring his or her particular support and experience.
True to its values and this desire to support film-making around the world, Jaeger-LeCoultre is thus now turning its attention to Belgium, which holds a very special place within the francophone film industry. Demonstrating impressive production diversity and exceptional creativity extending well beyond national borders, industry professionals have developed immense know-how in international co-productions, as well as animated movies, documentaries and short films. This new partnership continues the tradition cultivated by the Grande Maison through ties with the most important film events, from Venice to New York, Abu Dhabi, Shanghai and San Sebastian.
Movie sets and watchmaking workshops share a common denominator : both are pervaded by the same atmosphere of intense concentration. These are places where dreams come true, where fascinating creations requiring precise and meticulous attention to detail as well as enormous passion are born. History is written, from cameras capturing emotions to the artisan who immortalises the present moment in time. Jaeger-LeCoultre's affinities with the 7th art undoubtedly stem from the fact that film and watchmaking are both universes marked by the same creative effervescence backed by a longstanding tradition.

You might say William Shaner of Silt is gunning for a title in a prestigious competitive shooting event as one of the youngest youths from Colorado to aim high.
The 11-year-old will compete for the first time in the National Junior Olympic Shooting Championships next month against youth from around the U.S. He will demonstrate his proficiency in men's air rifle, men's smallbore three position, and men's smallbore prone at the Olympic training center in Colorado Springs.
Shaner, a seventh-grader enrolled on the online Colorado Virtual Academy school, began competitive shooting at age 8 when his father, Gregory Shaner, suggested he try shooting sports in the Garfield County 4-H program.
"A lot of it is in my genes," explained Will Shaner.
His great-grandfather was a U.S. Army marksman, he said.
Just five months after Shaner began precision shooting, he attended his first 4-H state championship. In December 2011, he joined USA Shooting's National Training Center Junior Club in Colorado Springs, where he's practiced alongside Olympic champions Nicco Campriani and Michael McPhail.
"It was pretty cool," said Shaner, who isn't easily starstruck.
In fact, Shaner doesn't brag at all about being a 4-H Junior Champion athlete, unlike his proud dad, who told a reporter that his son won first place last summer in the 4-H State Championship's .22 hunt class, air rifle Olympic offhand, and air rifle three-position competitions, as well as reserve champion in the .22 sport class. Last October, Will Shaner was named Garfield County 4-H Sportsman of the Year.
USA Shooting, the national governing body for Olympic shooting sports, runs the invitation-only championships. Officials compile state scores and develop benchmarks for three age groups. That means the younger Shaner had to meet or best the benchmark in the 14 and under category to get an invitation.
"He won in his age group," said Gregory Shaner, who is a USA Shooting coach.
Will Shaner is the only under-14 youth in Colorado to qualify for both the air rifle and smallbore competitions. He said it takes stability and balance to hit the bullseye, or "10," as it's called on the Olympic shooting range.
"I focus on making the perfect shot," he explained. "My mind goes blank and I wait for the opportunity to take the shot."
To win the air rifle competition, Shaner must hit the center of a one-inch diameter, black circle the most out of 60 shots from a distance of 33 feet. He lines up the front sight of his Feinwerkbau 700 Junior air rifle with the outside of the circle and then matches two rear sights with the front sight. When they're all lined up, that's the opportunity for the perfect shot, he said.
Shaner's personal best is 563 bullseyes out of 600 shots, or about 94 percent - not far behind Campriani, whom Gregory Shaner said shoots 598 out of 600 on an off-day.
"It's hard to believe that you're shooting that great and you're at the Olympic Training Center," said Will Shaner, who seems a bit surprised by all the fanfare over his success.
For the men's smallbore three-position and the smallbore prone competitions, Shaner uses a modified Anschutz 1907 .22 gauge long rifle. He shoots standing, kneeling and prone, aiming for the middle of a 5-inch diameter circle from half the length of a football field.
Gregory Shaner said that living in a rural area, Will might not have the same opportunities as those from the city.
"He doesn't have all the fancy stuff, but he still beats the pants off them," he exclaimed with a gleam in his eye.
Will Shaner's goal is to compete in the 2020 World Olympic Games and to earn a shooting sports scholarship to an NCAA Division I university. He said precision shooting sports has helped him out of his shyness and has taught him independence and confidence.
"You have to be independent," he said. "Because it's you on the line by yourself."

Pitt County District Attorney Clark Everett is reflecting on his more than 30-years as a prosecutor as he prepares to retire at the end of the month.
Everett has been the D.A. for the past 14-years after being appointed by Governor Jim Hunt and says it's time to move on and do something else.
Everett has tried hundreds of cases, 18 of which were capital cases, in his 32-years in the courtroom.
Everett says, "It's been an interesting career. It's certainly exciting. It can be stressful. It's not necessarily the career where people like you all the time."
While Everett says he's not too sure yet what he'll do with his free time, he says there are some things he will not do. "What I'm not going to be is a politician. I'm not going to be running for office. And I'm not going to hold an elected office."
However, Everett says he will continue to work with other D.A.'s on cases that are still pending.
Everett says he's enjoyed his time serving Pitt County, and he hopes his years of hard work left an impression on the community. "I just hope people will look back and say, he was fair and he did a good job at what he was doing."
Governor McCrory will appoint a new D.A. by February first.

On the fence? Don't be. Could be my favorite action game ever. And I've been gaming since the original Contra, ya heard?
Epic, does not adequately describe this game.
It runs so smooth on my PC that used to have a bit of trouble with the first game. So it's much more highly optimized with improved graphics.
I'm not going to bother to discuss it here. But if you were on the fence jump off it and buy this game. So good.
Best action game ever so far and I'm like on level 2 or something.

LP Gas Concerns > Turkey Fryers
Richard Fredenburg, LP-Gas Engineer
Three noted organizations have expressed their opinions that using turkey fryers can easily be unsafe. They have shown that fires can be caused, that extremely hot surfaces can be touched, and that the pot of hot oil can be easily toppled, causing significant and possibly life threatening injuries and extreme property damage. The taste of a fried turkey is a delight for many people during winter holidays and on summer special occasions. Don't let a substandard fryer or a lapse in safety vigilance turn your special time into a tragedy.
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) did some testing of turkey fryers. Click here to be taken to their Product Safety Tips on Turkey Fryers.
The Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued Safety Tips for Turkey Fryers.

- Were you looking for general information on soulstones or information on the Create Soulstone spell?
- Soulstone
- Conjured Item
- Item Level 18
- Binds when picked up
- Unique
- Use: When cast on living party or raid members, the soul of the target is stored and they will be able to resurrect upon death.
If cast on a dead target, they are instantly resurrected. Targets resurrect with 60% health and 20% mana. (15 Min Cooldown)
- 1 Charges
|Soulstone from Fields of Honor Deck
A Soulstone is a conjured item that a warlock can create beginning at level 18 with the [Soulstone] ability that temporarily grants one player the power of self-resurrection or allows the warlock to battle-ress a dead friendly target. It is also a verb term for applying any type of soulstone to a target, as in "to soulstone somebody."
Patch changes
- Patch 4.1.0 (26-Apr-2011): Soulstone can now be used in combat to resurrect a targeted dead player.
- Patch 2.1.0 (22-May-2007): Soulstones can no longer be used on targets not in your party or raid. In addition, the soulstone buff will now be removed if the target or caster leaves the party or raid.
- Patch 2.3.0 (13-Nov-2007): Soulstone's animated visual effect no longer appears around the warlock when the soulstone is used. It appears around the soulstoned target now.

Please forgive our indulging in an overused nautical analogy, but as Oregon's economy has been foundering these past several months, it seems to us that state workers have more than their share of reserved seats on the lifeboats.
For instance, according the Oregon Employment Department, private sector wages in the state rose an average of 2 percent in 2008.Average wages for state employees, meanwhile, increased by 5.7 percent.
But the more egregious gap between the private sector and state government involves health insurance.
State workers have it, and to them it's free.
Some private sector employees have insurance, but relatively few of them have their premiums fully paid.
And now the Legislature, at the behest of Gov. Ted Kulongoski, wants to widen the chasm between private and public benefits.
The mechanism is House Bill 2116.
The bill, which Kulongoski requested, would impose a 1 percent tax on the gross premiums that insurance companies collect.
The money would enroll an estimated 80,000 children, and as many as 100,000 adults, in the Oregon Health Plan (the state's version of Medicaid).
Here's our problem: Insurance premiums for private sector workers probably will continue to rise as they have for the past decade, and insurers almost certainly would pass on the 1 percent tax to their customers.
Yet Kulongoski refuses to push state employee unions to pay even a paltry portion of their premiums. And so long as the state continues to pick up the entire tab — an average of $12,800 per year per employee — HB 2116's 1-percent tax won't affect state workers.
This is reckless spending at any time, but it's absolutely unconscionable when Oregon's unemployment rate is near 12 percent, and the vast majority of the jobless were most recently working in the private sector.
We don't fault the governor and the Legislature for trying to supply health insurance to Oregonians who are trying to ride out the economic storm.
But it's long past time for state workers to join the private sector and pick up a baling bucket.

Unlike its double-action counterpart, a single-action revolver's trigger only releases the hammer. When the hammer is pulled back to the full-cocked position, the trigger is set and can be pulled to fire a single shot. After a shot is fired, the trigger is locked in place until the hammer is pulled back to the full-cocked position for another shot. The cylinderPart on a revolver where ammunition is stored. does not swing out on a single-action. Loading requires the hammer to be pulled back to the half-cock positionSafety mechanism where the hammer rests in the half-cocked position, not resting on the firing pin, and locking the trigger in place.. Next, open the loading gate, rotate the cylinder to an empty chamber, and insert a cartridge. To eject a cartridge, pull the hammer to a half-cock position, open the loading gatePart of the single action revolver that, when opened, exposes a single chamber in the cylinder, for loading or unloading ammunition., and rotate the cylinder until a cartridge is visible.

Important! The trigger must be pulled while holding the hammer back to lower the hammer without firing the revolver. Don't slip!

The Akatsuki Makes its Move (暁、始動, Akatsuki, Shidō) is episode 2 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.
Now that Naruto has returned to the Konohagakure from his approximate three year training, he, and the rest of the village, will soon have to deal with the Akatsuki. Once upon arrival, Jiraiya begins telling Kakashi that Akatsuki has begun to make their move which includes them capturing the tailed beasts. As they agreed Jiraiya returns Naruto's training to Kakashi after the long period of time they spend together. Tsunade decides that it's time to test if Naruto and Sakura are worthy enough to recreate Team Kakashi and hunt Akatsuki. They'll be doing the same test they did the first time they became ninja: take the bell from Kakashi. As Naruto and Sakura succeed, Akatsuki has already planned their first step towards the ultimate dream. In Sunagakure, two Akatsuki members, Sasori and Deidara, arrive at the gates of the Suna. Their secret agent Yūra has already cleared the guards to give them access.
- This episode and episode 1 were originally aired together as an hour-long premier special.
- The first appearance of Kakashi after the time skip is different to that of the manga.
- The way Naruto and Jiraiya comes back to Konoha after the time skip in Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 was more similar to that of the manga than the anime. The first person he sees is Kakashi, instead of Team Ebisu and Sakura.

Cold Exposure: What Increases Your Risk of Injury?
Topic Overview
Cold injuries occur more in certain outdoor conditions, such as:
Cold temperatures.
- Hypothermia can develop quickly with temperatures below freezing.
- Frostbite develops at freezing temperatures.
- People who live in poorly heated homes can gradually develop hypothermia in temperatures of 60°F (16°C) to 65°F (18°C).
- Cold injuries, such as trench foot or chilblains, can develop gradually in moderate temperatures, especially when the skin is wet.
Wet conditions (rain, being in water, sweat).
- Water on the skin causes you to feel cool and lose heat.
- Wet skin freezes more quickly than dry skin.
- Wet feet and hands can be damaged even at temperatures above freezing if they are constantly wet.
Wind. Heat loss increases in
windy weather because the wind chill factor makes the outside temperature feel
- A wind chill factor of 1 to 3 means that proper clothing will likely protect you from frostbite.
- A wind chill factor of 4 means that exposed skin may freeze depending on how active you are while you are outside.
- A wind chill factor of 5 or 6 means that exposed skin can freeze very quickly. Face, hands, and feet should all be protected.
- A wind chill factor of 7 means extreme cold conditions with a high chance of cold exposure injury.
High altitudes.
- At higher altitudes, the air is "thinner" so you need to breathe more air to get the same amount of oxygen. Because the air is also drier, you may lose more body heat through the lungs by panting and being too active. Lower oxygen levels can also change your normal good judgment, such as knowing when to wear adequate protective clothing.
- At higher altitudes, you don't shiver as much. Shivering makes the body warm.
- At higher altitudes, cold temperatures and storms are often more intense. Shelter may be harder to find, or it may not provide enough protection.

David, what about Enke's division, ever seen it in your 16 incher?
If you mean the Encke Minima (what I call the 'classical Encke'): yes on very many occasions. If the IAU Encke then on average some five or so times per apparition (edge-ons excepted!), but only during better seeing. This latter to me is the true Keeler Gap: the IAU compounding the silliness by calling an impossibly fine line even nearer Ring A's outer edge the Keeler. Can I see the IAU Encke as a 'black' gap like Cassini? Definitely not. On the BAA intensity scale (0 = White/Bright; 10 = Black) I usually make it twixt 7 & 8. Appropriately it looks to me quite like a fine lead-pencil line tho' often a little diffuse – especially on the inner edge. I can't rule out contrast effects entirely, but in my view perhaps 60/40: and undecided which predominates: real or illusion!! Nature seems to like hiding real features, at least to some eyes, under illusion/contrast effects; Saturn's rings seemingly being particularly prone.
Somewhere in the BAA Saturn archive is a drawing of the only time I saw IAU Encke in my 10" (1970s?) also in their Journal – will need to check.
Attached is about the best view I ever had of Saturn. The original (HB pencil drawing) is a corrected scan. Never liked my scans as they usually necessitated a lot of computer work to bring them back with the original – very stressing (and eye-abusing!). Some would call this photo-shopping, but I largely contest this as the original is there for guidance; as opposed to giving some pimply model a flawless complexion (not denying some 'primitive' pleasure tho'!). In line with my current practice I plan to digitally photograph this, as correction is very minimal, and redo it with the saved colour hues – some cloudy night maybe.

Superb work Dave.
Posted 06 April 2013 - 11:07 AM
One thing I quickly found when first trying the computer-colouring method is how grossly wrong the judged hue turned out to be. For example I might decide a pale lilac fill (Corel Draw pre-prepared vector) might be close for ring A, but when applied has to be desaturated considerably. This can be done by holding down control on one of the greys; left-clicking adds small increments of the chosen grey. Then the same procedure with an appropriate colour to achieve a closer hue to what was seen. In addition belts and zones (vector fills) can be adjusted against each other to get a nearer relative hue. E.g. I once judged a broad dusky band on Uranus (!!) as of warm brownish hue. Had I been using pastels would I probably have used a small amount of terra cotta + grey/brown; but after being satisfied with the relative hues the Corel colour-sampler indicated the band an olive-brown hue but it looked reddish-brown in relation to the general cyan hue on the monitor! I have a totally black work-area/background when pursuing this. The computer being in the house some 20yds away entails a lot of to-ing & fro-ing so a certain ability of carrying the general view/hues in the head is desirable, but manual drawing-media method demands much more on the memory even if you get down to it straight after – and of course there is the scanning nightmare!!
Colour work is a veritable mine-field and many many variables: futile to claim absolute colour; ball park is the best aim I feel. I have already used a lot of words to describe relatively basic/simple procedures; and it would take pages to relate what is involved with what I am seeking tinting my drawings.
I am finding a basic Kodak Easy Share camera ideal as a substitute 'scanner'. A discard from our son Stuart after he moved to DSLR! Inserting an SD card in the PC quicker and simpler than scanning.
David/Dave (either - been called worse!)

I thought I observed Enke once in a 6" Mak. But after some research and a lengthy thread discussing it, I determined it was not very likely observed. Highly improbable, in fact. Enke minimum, however, will suffice.
Not to get off topic, but some manipulation to get it just right or to display well is fine. Observing is the result of long periods of careful study, it's not nice to ask your audience to do the same work studying a "realistic" sketch.
Outstanding work, David.
Posted 06 April 2013 - 01:08 PM
Many thanks Norme:
I thought I observed Enke once in a 6" Mak. But after some research and a lengthy thread discussing it, I determined it was not very likely observed. Highly improbable, in fact. Enke minimum, however, will suffice.
If you had good faith, and with all due caution, in your observation at the time I would say stand by it. 6" scopes do remarkably well in skilled hands (S.W. Burnham: 0.2" doubles elongated etc) Some cynics conceal many explaining-aways beneath their comfort- blankets. I saw someone on the first locked Uranus ("…Season…") thread virtually talked-out of his Uranus drawing, which accorded well with my impressions around that date.
In earlier days there was a dictum "draw only what you actually see" even if you suspect an illusion. If there is a strong feeling of illusion note it down as a cautionary: someone else may have independently recorded your 'illusion'; then there is a chance of mutual confirmation. Taking this principle to its extreme, if one night I found that the turbulent Jovian atmosphere had produced markings that looked like "Hi There" (not impossible) I should draw it as I see it. Imagers would soon sort this one; but just to demonstrate.
Please pardon if I am telling you what you already know/practice. But simply stating my strong views.
The late Andy Hollis had strong views with this all this: note the last paragraph in his letter attached. I have hidden the name of a very experienced (still living) observer to spare his blushes!

It is possible to observe what others cannot or might doubt. Sure, record what you see and note observations. I've tried to be aware of optical illusions such as the mach effect. But those illusions are much easier to see on an internet web site than picking the illusion from Martian maria.
Jupiter and Mars were amazing during their recent flybys. I am afraid I will miss Saturn during our short dry season and being away on travel.

the IAU compounding the silliness by calling an impossibly fine line even nearer Ring A's outer edge the Keeler.
Glad to know I'm not the only one to be bothered by the silliness of the UAI nomenclature. When I wrote reports on Saturn for the Italian Astronomical Union I tended to call "Encke minumum" the large, easy shading at the center of A ring and "Encke gap" what used to be Keeler's gap, just to avoid confusion.
Saturn's rings seemingly being particularly prone.
Attached is about the best view I ever had of Saturn.
Awesome. I've always been stunned by your draftsmanship. I remember too the green hue around the polar region in 2003. I've given up trying to get a decent digitization from a scanner, I just take a digital shot - which of course has its drawbacks too.
I'm also intrigued by the bright spot in the temperate zone; how "visible" was it? Could you definitely see its rotation?
Great to see your works on this forum.
Posted 08 April 2013 - 05:38 AM
I'm also intrigued by the bright spot in the temperate zone; how "visible" was it? Could you definitely see its rotation?
Many thanks Ivano:
Not sure if the spot is real; but was more certain of a mainly slight scalloping of the NTB n. edge. There being a deeper more apparent indentation/bay that I followed to the CM from early in the session: NTB thicker and darker p. & f. the light 'spot'. We are familiar with this effect on Jupiter: where any real lightness can be contrast-enhanced. So possibly illusory and perhaps made a little too apparent/light through artistic incompetence/carelessness. Actually it is less apparent on the full-res version (300 dpi) on the monitor, and the original drawing!
Encke div: I spout off about this IAU thing at any opportunity it's had me riled for years! I got the impression those that might have had some influence just seemed to roll over and accept it – speaking to, among others, upper-level BAA people back then.
2003 drawing: I think I defined the green hue as "a duck-egg-bluish-green" or some such and it was striking to a lot of observers I recall.
Very much like your drawings too; and would like to add I feel honoured to be among some very accomplished artists on this forum – though for myself I like your term "draftsmanship"! My late mother and, very especiially, her sister Florence (Raine) (Aunt Florrie: 1892-1931 [d.tragically]) were the real artists of the family

I see. That surprises me a bit, as IAU nomenclature is first of all historically inaccurate and I'm sure BAA guys knew well about that...
though for myself I like your term "draftsmanship"!
Uhm...not a native English speaker, so "draftsmanship" might not be accurate Or maybe it is American (I live in the USA now), or related to technical drawing rather than artistic, or I may just have invented it
Anyway, your drawings of Saturn are by far the best I see around; would love to know more about your technique. It takes both an experienced observer of the planet and a good artist.
Posted 08 April 2013 - 01:33 PM
[around; would love to know more about your technique.
Draftsmanship: well I am far-north English born (mainly Celtic/Viking stock here!) so draughtsmanship; but that or artistic I guess I traverse their hazy boundaries. I have been accused of trying to produce planetary works of art; but I say if you get what you see at the eyepiece accurately, then, as they are often objects of beauty, the art takes care of itself! I have to say that assorted candy-colours on planets etc. elude me: even so I find our 'drab grey' moon a rich palette of subtle hues!
My technique: a good HB pencil and stumps (medium & thin). I adopted a method of stump painting some years back and 'tickle' in darker features with the HB. To me, why draw with the pencil first then have to blend in the marks afterward. Stump first and much of the blending is done and at the eyepiece; saving time and more retaining the integrity of the drawing with it pretty much finished on site. I am attaching more details, but the reference to Staedtler Mars Lumograph EB pencils is out of date as I find they (& EE) are discontinued now. Replaced with, I think, 8B & 9B graphite. A great shame as the EB takes a fine point and is ideal for Cassini div. C ring, and shadows etc as it has considerably less sheen than graphite – glad I bought a good stock years ago!
Erasers: I do not anymore use kneaded (putty) erasers as with using the stumping technique any putty-residue on the paper will greedily grab the graphite from the stump and leave a virtually irremovable dark patch. I find a good triangular pencil-end rubber perfectly fine and convenient.
Paper: I used to use Ivorex or Bristol Board. But now use Xerox Colotech+ (100 gsm) inkjet printer paper £10 ($15) for 500 sheets some years back; and some years back got a deal on three packs for £20 ($30) and have just recently started on the second. So much more economical than the board; very smooth, white (no yellowing yet!) and damp-resistant outdoors at night. Also gives good prints!
For planets with very delicate diffuse features I prepare the drawing area by rubbing all over in small tight circles with a small wad of tissue or cotton wool. This dulls the tooth making very smooth blends possible. With Saturn I apply this more thoroughly to the rings than globe area. I use small tight circles when stumping also, unless I want to lightly reinforce a faint belt, ring div or such.

Could you explain it a little further? Is this a standard tool or method or one you developed on your own. Its the first Im hearing of it . Particularly in Connecticut in winter, dispersion can be very degrading to the image indeed. It'd be a fine thing if I had such a thing to counter its effects.

So these oculars deliberately showing chromatic aberration work to cancel out atmospheric dispersion colors on things particularly like Galilean moons at high power and such? Amazing .
Could you explain it a little further? Is this a standard tool or method or one you developed on your own. Its the first Im hearing of it . Particularly in Connecticut in winter, dispersion can be very degrading to the image indeed. It'd be a fine thing if I had such a thing to counter its effects.
If you have "The Planet Jupiter" (1958) by B.M. Peek then you can find my first source of information in chap. 5 (OBSERVATIONS OF COLOUR) page 38. Also Sidgwick's classics deal pretty thoroughly with chromatic aberration in general and may touch on the Ramsden effect. If you can't access these I will be glad to quote some passages.
Actually a narrow angle dispersion prism, as used by many imagers now, would be the ideal; but needing differing angles for varying altitudes. There are variable ones available – one I have seen retails at over £300 ($450): I am just a poor pensioner! S&T years ago gave details of H.E Dall's Compensating Eyepiece where the crown and flint components of the field lens are uncemented and a thumbscrew (with a graduated scale) alters the position of the flint against the crown.
In principle I would not be inclined to tackle the Galileans for detail at other than a goodly altitude where the atmospheric effects would be minimal. But it would certainly bring out truer colours (ball-park!) lower down.
Whilst checking out Peek I re-read (after many years) the "Drawings of Jupiter" section - page 35 bottom half to 36 where he had described an observing technique that years later in S&T Alika K. Herring (a bio.) wrote that a seasoned U.S. observer had told him in his early years: that we should look on a planet rather than at it. Those who seek elusive detail should particularly note this apparent absurdity – my experience finds it quite logical!! Hope you can see Peek's book: and I will have to dig out those S&Ts to check the details against my memory!

Empty sella syndrome is a condition in which the pituitary gland shrinks or becomes flattened.
The pituitary gland is a small gland located at the base of the brain. It sits in a saddle-like compartment in the skull called the sella turcica. In Latin, it means Turkish saddle.
When the pituitary gland shrinks or becomes flattened, it cannot be seen on an MRI scan. This makes the pituitary gland look like an "empty sella." But the sella is not actually empty. It is often filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF is fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. With empty sella syndrome, CSF has leaked into the sella turcica, putting pressure on the pituitary gland. This causes the gland to shrink or flatten.
Primary empty sella syndrome occurs when one of the layers (arachnoid) covering the outside of the brain bulges down into the sella and presses on the pituitary.
Secondary empty sella syndrome occurs when the sella is empty because the pituitary gland has been damaged by:
Empty sella syndrome may be seen in a condition called pseudotumor cerebri, which mainly affects young, obese women.
The pituitary gland makes several hormones that control other glands in the body, including the:
A problem with the pituitary gland can lead to problems with any of the above glands and abnormal hormone levels of these glands.
Often, there are no symptoms or loss of pituitary function.
If there are symptoms, they may include any of the following:
Primary empty sella syndrome is most often discovered during an MRI or CT scan of the head and brain. Pituitary function is usually normal.
The health care provider may test the pituitary to make sure that the gland is working normally.
Sometimes tests for high pressure in the brain will be done, such as:
For primary empty sella syndrome:
For secondary empty sella syndrome, treatment involves replacing the hormones that are lacking.
In some cases, surgery is needed to repair the sella turcica.
Primary empty sella syndrome does not cause health problems, and it does not affect life expectancy.
Complications of primary empty sella syndrome include mild hyperprolactinemia.
Complications of secondary empty sella syndrome are related to the cause of pituitary gland disease or to the effects of too little pituitary hormone.
