Creates a secondary index on one or more columns of a table.
A secondary index is created on the column(s) in the table as specified. The index is stored in the data dictionary under the given name. The secondary index is used internally by the optimizer to improve the efficiency of a search.
The UNIQUE Option
If UNIQUE is specified each index value (i.e. the value of all index columns together) is only allowed once. In this context two null values are considered equal. It is recommended that UNIQUE is used in the CREATE TABLE statement rather than in the CREATE INDEX statement.
If index-name is specified in its unqualified form, the index will be created in the schema which has the same name as the current ident.
If index-name is specified in its fully qualified form (i.e. schema-name.index-name) the index will be created in the named schema (in this case, the current ident must be the creator of the specified schema).
The COLLATE Clause
If the COLLATE clause is specified, the index will be ordered according to the collation specified.
Also, a collation can be inherited from a column-definition.
For more information, see the Mimer SQL User's Manual, chapter 6, Collations.
ASC and DESC indicate the sort order of the column within the index. If neither is specified, then ASC is implicit. This makes an index appropriate for queries with a matching ORDER BY specification.
Two indexes with the same name cannot belong to the same schema.
An index must belong to the same schema as the table on which it is created.
Secondary indexes may only be created on base tables, not on views.
UNIQUE indexes may only be created on tables in databanks defined with the LOG or TRANS transaction option.
Each column name must identify an existing column of the table. The same column may not be identified more than once.
Mimer SQL can make use of an index in both the forward and backward direction. It is therefore immaterial whether ASC or DESC is specified if all the index columns have the same sorting direction.
Secondary indexes are automatically maintained and are invisible to the user. The index is used automatically when it provides better efficiency.
Any column may be specified as a secondary index.
Note: Table columns that are in the primary key, a unique key or used in a foreign key reference are automatically indexed (in the order in which they are defined in the key). Therefore, explicitly creating an index on these columns will not improve performance.
Consider a table with columns A, B and C of which A and B form the primary key, in that order. An index is automatically created for the column combination A,B. Therefore, there is no advantage in explicitly creating an index on column A or on the column combination A,B. Secondary indexes may, however, be advantageous on column B alone or on combinations such as B,A or A,C.
When you use ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN to a create a new collation, the index will remain unchanged.
ExampleCREATE INDEX cst_date_of_birth ON customers(date_of_birth);
For more information, see Mimer SQL User's Manual, chapter 9, Creating Secondary Indexes.
Standard Compliance
X/Open-95 YES Fully compliant. SQL-92 MIMER EXTENSION The CREATE INDEX statement is a Mimer SQL extension.

The survey by the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees indicates that, so far, nearly 70,000 visitors have been shut out of Acadia National Park, resulting in a revenue loss of more than $5 million.
A coalition of retired national park employees says its research shows that the government shutdown is killing tourism and visitor revenue in park communities.
"We believe that about 7 million visitors have been prevented from visting national parks, and there's been a loss of more than $750 million in visitor spending, just for the first 10 days throughout the country," says Joan Anzelmo, of the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees.
Anzelmo says the coalition has tracked and compiled figures on 12 of the nations popular parks, including Acadia National Park in Maine.
"It looks to us like Acadia probably has lost over 68,000 visitors in the first 10 day of this shutdown, and probably well over $5 million in lost revenue," Anzelmo says.
The group also contends that 3,300 jobs are at stake because of the shut down.
This story was reported and written by Jennifer Mitchell.

ROCKVILLE, Md. (WUSA9) -- Some fourth graders are making bread so others can break bread in a project that gets them excited about science. They are learning the chemistry behind the crust in a really cool bread baking project working with scientists from Johns Hopkins University in Rockville.
Barbara Crews with Johns Hopkins University, told us," If the kids can touch it feel it, understand it's more than what they're reading in a book, it's more than a picture, it's more than what they see on the Promethian board. They actually can feel it. It relates!"
Student Carly Felischer shared, "It was so much fun. We did all this different stuff. We learned what vegetables to eat. We learned how good we could wash our hands. They put fake germs and we got to go wash our hands."
Five schools were part of the project. The hope is that while the students will learn about chemistry what they make will get handed over to Interfaith Works Homeless Shelters.
Charlotte Garvey Corbett with Interfaith Works said, "We're going to get hundreds of loaves of bread. We picked some up last week, we're going to keep picking it up this week in some of the schools... it's a special thing for them to share. What's more essential than bread to share?"
They also get to share their new skills at home.
If you have a cool school, send an email to email@example.com or Tweet to @mikehydeck.

|New Stratomaster Engine Monitoring System From Sport Flying Shop
Cabling from engine probes goes directly to the Stratomaster E2's RDAC (remote data acquisition computer, left). "The Stratomaster E2 EMS (engine monitoring system) interfaces to your engine via a single three-wire cable to the RDAC IV, which is mounted near your engine," explains Matt Liknaitzky of Sport Flying Shop. "All temperature, pressure and fuel probes connect directly into the RDAC IV, ensuring cable lengths are kept to a minimum, and reducing installation time."
Great Britain's MGL Avionics has released their latest instrument deck, the Stratomaster E2 EMS engine monitoring system. The Stratomaster E2 EMS joins the Stratomaster Flight Information System* as complete "all in one" instrument decks marketed for ultralights and light-sport aircraft by Sport Flying Shop (SFS), the accessories company of Aerotrike North American distributor Rainbow Aircraft.
"The Stratomaster E2 EMS is the answer to complete engine management in light aircraft," says Matt Liknaitzky of Sport Flying Shop. "The E2 provides a continuous display (both graphically and numerically) of all important engine parameters, allowing you to monitor and optimize engine performance at a glance."
The E2 can be customized to suit almost any engine, and fits in most sport aircraft instrument panels, SFS indicates. "The E2 interfaces to your engine via a three-wire cable from the separate RDAC IV (remote data acquisition computer), which is mounted near the engine," Liknaitzky explains. "All temperature, pressure and fuel probes connect directly into the RDAC IV, ensuring cable lengths are kept to a minimum and reducing installation time. No more pulling your cockpit apart to introduce a new temperature probe to your instrument cluster simply connect the probe to the RDAC, and reconfigure the E2 to display it."
According to SFS, the problems with other digital engine information systems can be: (1) alphanumeric readouts are difficult to read and comprehend; (2) you may have to page through several screens of information to get to what you're looking for and need; and (3) installation involves a lot of wire between the display and your engine. "The Stratomaster E2 EMS solves all these problems," Liknaitzky says. "The display features graphical as well as alphanumeric readouts and can be customized to suit almost any engine. All information is displayed on one page. And the E2 uses the Stratomaster RDAC, mounted near the engine, which cuts down wiring troubles and makes installation a lot easier." Liknaitzky also notes the "usual benefits of high-quality digital avionics:"
* They are much lighter than traditional analog instruments.
"The E2 provides a continuous display of all important engine parameters (both graphically and numerically)," Liknaitzky says, "allowing you to monitor and optimize your engine performance at a glance. The backlit display ensures the information is always clearly visible in both poorly lit and direct sunlight conditions. No matter what your engine, the Stratomaster E2 EMS can be configured to display and monitor the parameters you are interested in.
"The E2 lets you concentrate on flying by monitoring the engine, alerting you to any over/under limit conditions with an audible alarm and/or flashing alarm light. And all alarm conditions are under your control, allowing you to set them according to your specific needs."
Functions of the Stratomaster E2 EMS include: exhaust gas temperature (EGT), cylinder head temperature (CHT), water temperature, oil temperature, oil pressure, engine rpm (tachometer), engine hours, trip timer, maintenance countdown, fuel level, fuel flow, ambient temperature, voltmeter and flight data recorder.
The Stratomaster E2 EMS is "priced from $560 (including shipping)," SFS says. Senders are available separately, the company notes. "Engines supported range from small 2-strokes like a Rotax 447 or Rotax 503 to the more powerful Rotax 582, the Simonini and 2 Stroke International line of engines, and 4-stroke engines, such as HKS, Rotax, Geo Metro, VW, Jabiru, and many more," SFS says.
Sport Flying Shop "is now carrying all Stratomaster avionics systems," the company notes.

As early as 300 BCE, the power of the wind has been harnessed to power ships, windmills, and to heat furnaces to blazing hot temperatures. However, as the advent of steamboats eclipsed the utility of sailing vessels and mechanical motors outstripped the power of a windmill, wind slowly died as energy producer around the world.
Today, people are looking again toward this ancient source of renewable energy as the cost of fossil fuels continues to rise. The first wind turbine was created in the USSR in 1931, providing 100kW of power. Wind turbines have continually (more…)

Dopamine Precursors and Agonists for Restless Legs Syndrome
Dopamine precursors
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Parcopa, Sinemet
Dopamine agonists
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
How It Works
Dopamine precursors are drugs that the brain converts to dopamine, a chemical (neurotransmitter) involved in controlling movement. Dopamine is involved in movement, sleep, emotions, alertness, and addictive behavior.
Dopamine agonists directly stimulate nerves in the brain that are not naturally being stimulated by dopamine.
Why It Is Used
These medicines are generally prescribed to treat Parkinson's disease. But there seems to be a relationship between restless legs syndrome and abnormalities in how the body produces or uses dopamine. A doctor may prescribe medicine as treatment for continuous symptoms that frequently disturb sleep, in which case dopamine agonists are usually the first choice.
How Well It Works
Levodopa and dopamine agonists improve symptoms of restless legs better than a placebo. They also reduce periodic limb movements. People who took dopamine agonists or levodopa said they slept better and that their quality of life was better.1
For some people, these medicines seem to help at first. But later they seem to make symptoms worse by a process called augmentation. Because this undesired outcome is most associated with regular use of levodopa, most patients who require daily medicine will need a dopamine agonist.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Hives.
- Agitation or anxiety.
- Confusion, hallucinations, abnormal thinking, or holding false beliefs that cannot be changed by fact.
- Clumsiness or unsteadiness.
- Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting.
- Difficulty swallowing or excessive mouth-watering.
- Nausea or vomiting.
- Uncontrollable movements, such as twitching or repetitive movements of the tongue, lips, face, arms, or legs.
- Unusual tiredness or weakness.
- Worse tremor.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Belly pain.
- Dry mouth.
- Loss of appetite.
- Nightmares.
- Passing gas.
Dopamine agonists
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Hives.
- Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting.
- Confusion or hallucinations.
- Nausea.
- Sudden attacks of sleepiness where you fall asleep without warning, even in the middle of the day.
- Uncontrollable movements, such as twitching or repetitive movements of the tongue, lips, face, arms, or legs.
- Unusual tiredness or weakness.
Common side effects of these medicines include:
- Constipation.
- Dry mouth.
- Headache.
- Heartburn or indigestion.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Problems related to the dosing of dopamine precursors and agonists can occur, such as:
- Rebound. This occurs when symptoms become worse at the end of a dosing period, usually late at night or in the morning.
- Augmentation, which means that symptoms generally get worse. Symptoms begin to be noticed progressively earlier in the day, often in the afternoon or evening. Augmentation is most often a side effect of long-term levodopa/carbidopa or dopamine agonist use and usually becomes worse with increasing dosage. People with severe augmentation have symptoms constantly. The discomfort may intensify and spread to the torso or the arms. Stopping the medicine will usually return symptoms to the level that the person had before starting the medicine. At first, though, symptoms may temporarily get worse.
Dopamine agonists and levodopa may cause impulse-control disorders in some people. Impulse-control disorders include uncontrollable or problem gambling, sexual behavior, and shopping. Binge eating is another example.
Dopamine agonists are more likely than levodopa to cause impulse-control disorders. But your risk is even higher if you take both a dopamine agonist and levodopa. If you are concerned about taking these medicines because of this risk, talk with your doctor.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

His knowledge of the details of the job was apparent and he gave me great confidence. Jim priced the job very competitively using premium materials necessary to provide us with a lifetime warranty. He came on the dates scheduled at the appointed time. When foul weather forced the cancellation of a day's work, Jim called the night before to inform me of the forecasted delay. He came the next day to complete the job. The final costs matched the original estimate. As a multiple location manager for a large restaurant company, I contracted with many subcontractors to do both new construction and renovation/repair work on numerous buildings in the metro Atlanta area. I had preferred customer status with many of these companies due to the size of my account. Keller Waterproofing matched the service the best of these contractors gave me while exceeding the service most provided. I will use Keller Waterproofing again should the need arise either in my next home or at work.
Basement Waterproofing in West Boylston, MA
Dear Mr. Keller, I am impressed with the job your crew performed. Carlos showed me how the piping system works and how to remove the cleanout covers. My yard was left spotless. The bushes and rocks were returned to their original placement. When it rains, I am confident I will no longer have water seeping in the basement or garage. Thank you for your highly professional work.

BEIJING—Beijing is waging a war against air pollution and it is doing so one barbecue at a time.
Authorities in the capital have destroyed more than 500 open-air barbecues "to cut PM2.5"—the tiny particulate matter in the air that can enter deep into the lungs.
Photos carried by state media showed workers cutting pieces of metal with sparks flying as city wardens looked on.
Citizens online ridiculed the exercise, suggesting authorities should focus on bigger sources of pollution.
Beijing's Xicheng district administration bureau said the hundreds of barbecue grills were confiscated over a three-month campaign and cut up so they couldn't be used again.
Beijing's pollution regularly reaches hazardous levels.

CHDK allows you to automate your camera by running "scripts", small and simple programs written by end-users and executed on the camera. Currently, CHDK allows you to use scripts written in Lua (filetype: *.lua) and uBASIC (filetype: *.bas). The file extension indicates how the script should be parsed. There are scripts for exposure bracketing, focus bracketing, intervalometer and many more.
Running a script
- Download or write your own script and place it in the chdk/scripts/ folder of your SD-card with the proper extension (.lua for Lua scripts, .bas for UBASIC scripts).
- Enter the script menu, load the script, adjust the parameters to your liking and leave the menu.
- While still in <ALT> mode just press the shutter button and the script will start. A mini console will be displayed while you run the script.
- Note: set the Review parameter in the NORMAL camera menu to "off", other options like "x sec" or "hold" will interfere with the execution of scripts.
- You may interrupt a running script by just pressing the shutter button again. Or pause a running script by exiting <ALT> mode, if paused the script will resume right where it left off when re-entering <ALT> mode.
Running a Lua script
- The script should be saved with the filename extension .lua in the CHDK scripts folder chdk/scripts
- Lua scripts support libraries, place these files in either chdk/scripts or chdk/lualib (see Lua syntax: Libraries).
Running a uBASIC script
- The script should be saved with the filename extension .bas in the CHDK scripts folder chdk/scripts
Differences between Lua and UBASIC
uBASIC was the first scripting language supported in CHDK and is a smaller language (both in memory size and extensiveness of features). Lua came later and can be found in CHDK builds > version 0.5 / changeset 512. In general Lua scripts will use more memory and run faster. Some scripts use particular implementation details of one or the other language and will need some re-factoring (re-writing the flow and content of the program) in order to accomplish the same goals

Los Desperados is the penultimate mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to protagonist Carl Johnson by his brother Sweet from his home in Ganton, Los Santos, San Andreas.
CJ drops by Sweet's house in Grove Street and starts to talk about the hood and the rioting going on. After a short argument, Cesar arrives and says that his hood is screwed up and he needs to get his gang back together. CJ agrees and they recruit two Grove Street gang members for help while meeting up with three Aztecas veterans, Sunny, Hazer and Gal in Unity Station.
Upon arriving there, they all start to attack the waves of Vagos gang members protecting El Corona. After clearing out the houses by the railway, they head deeper into the area through an alleyway. The Vagos manage to injure Hazer shortly before being completely cleared out. The crew head to the serious part of the district and the last wave of Vagos have gang members carrying flamethrowers and rocket launchers. CJ and the rest of the team manage to survive the gunfight, with the Aztecas taking over El Corona. Cesar and his fellow homies decide to get Hazer to a hospital and thank CJ for helping out.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Recruit a couple of Grove Street Families gang members
- Go and meet up with the veteranos at Unity Station
- Help Cesar and the OG's clear out the neighborhood
- Head to the alleyway
- Stay close to Cesar and clear out the alleyway
- Defend Cesar
- Finish off the last Vagos
The reward for completing this mission is an increase in respect and the final storyline mission End of the Line is unlocked. However, it can't be triggered until 20 gang territories (35% of the territories in Los Santos) have been taken over by the Grove Street Families.
- A difficult part of the level is simply recruiting Grove Street members and keeping them with you until you reach Unity Station, as the other gang members may ignore you (especially if they're in the middle of their own gun battle) or run in panic before they get into Carl's car (or if they exit the car prematurely); adding to the difficult of this last point is the fact the required four-door vehicle may not always spawn outside Sweet's home, and availability of carjackable vehicles declines considerably during the riot. Another difficut part about this is that Cesar may (on rare occasions) wander off and you will need him to trigger the cutscene, also it is easy for him to get killed. A way to counter this threat is to take over a considerable amount of territory so GSF members will spawn (namely Willowfield, Idlewood, Commerce and Little Mexico) and Cesar will be less likely to get killed.
- This is the only mission to show the conflict between the Los Santos Vagos and the Varrios Los Aztecas.
- The easiest way to keep Cesar safe is to drive him to Unity Station and leave him there and then go back and get GSF members, pick up Cesar and head to the corona.
- When you get to Cesar's house, the Vago gang member on top of the house will have a rocket launcher. He will only lauch a rocket if you don't take him out quickly. Also, getting closer to the house will cause him not to fire, possibly because he will kill himself if he fires too low.
- "Los Desperados" translates from Spanish into "The Desperates".
- Although the mission is technically given to Carl by Sweet (as it is triggered at Sweet's House), the mission is actually done for Cesar.
- While crossing the alley to Cesar's house, the Vago that injures Hazer cannot be killed until Hazer falls down.
- Cesar may occasionally kill your GSF members if they are standing in front of him.
- Cesar and the other VLA member are bulletproof after arriving at Unity Station, so the player don't have to worry about if Cesar and the other VLA members are attacked by the enemies, unless an explosion or fire occurs.

Hi all,
I'm just getting started in serious lego rolling stock and I see several of the instructions in this sight, particularly Daniel Aubin's rather awesome cars, have custom decals to print. I have access to sophisticated printers but I've never tried to print decals before. Can anyone give me some direction?

re: Decals
I've had good luck printing on standard ink-jet mailing label paper, as well as on water-slide decal paper. The water slides worked well on my light-colored rolling stock. Darker colors tended to show through the ink though, so the majority of my locomotives are using mailing label stickers.
The most difficult part for me is matching the colors to the LEGO colors. I usually start with either the CMYK or RGB values from the color chart on Peeron, then print a sample to see if my ink is darker/lighter then needed, then adjust as necessary.
My biggest problem is that the roads I model use a lot of white lettering, which I can't do on a standard ink-jet printer.

One excellent feature of the science of politics is how it remains calm over change and movement when everyone else is breathless with exhaustion. In this event, it will be quite hard for many to tell where there are continuities, disruptions, improvements and perhaps outright errors.
When it comes to the first two, observation may often coincide, but when it shifts to the third, disagreement prevails – not just about where but more explicitly, in what regard – for instance what medicine is best and if the shuffle fits the bill. There it is.
The basic reason for this calmness is that to various extents, hard-nosed political analysis of rather 'realistic' outlook utterly refuses whatever proposition that 'change is happening now.'
It is rare enough that change quite significantly comes up, and usually reshuffles are a sit-in strategy to best weather the storms of opposition, criticism and real incipient revolt. For one thing, those in authority are fairly well used to such phenomenon, in which case they can exercise their options so long as the public accepts it graciously.'
'Regime change' becomes necessary when peaceful options, that is, those acceptable to rulers, have been exhausted, and those brandishing all sorts of banners and threats against it, are profoundly dissatisfied. Depending on the nature of the 'missing link,' such change may be painful or manageable, especially as well in relation to flexibility in the political system – the point where all talk of change in Tanzania becomes curious to say the very least. In what way could there be 'change' when none of policy contentions is resolved?
This is precisely the problem identified at the point of departure, that those who relish reshuffles and picking new individuals refuse to pose issues, of what was wrong in the first place – fully satisfied with saying 'what happened.' But people don't take decisions in a vacuum, in which case one must take any proper administrative decision especially at highest level where the public perception of the government is at stake is well reasoned. When one starts from that idea, s/he realizes that this or that contract wasn't a street trick.
Unfortunately this 'know all' attitude has characterized not just media commentary but the broadest stretches of opinion, which means what some people take the burden for their visible roles in a mess, simply. Few stop to ask whether the mess has started being cleared – and here one should not stop to find an answer, as it is sufficient that points of explosion keep surfacing in 'musical' regularity. In other words whether it is Richmond or hiring an Airbus, the proper effort is to drown the criticism, 'let sleeping dogs lie.'
At the same time compromises had to be sought at every instance on what should be done – or in proper terms who should carry the burden. The systemic contradiction is that those inside the system realize that it is an arrangement to shore up regime confidence, and the wider knows change is coming. When they meet again in like atmosphere, it is explosive.
That is why a mild-mannered political scientist, to put it in a rather Anglicized way, will say that every reshuffle prepares another reshuffle – and a more hard hitting one (even if this hurts modesty, let's pick an example of Prof. Mwesiga Baregu) his tone would be different. He would see through the continuities labeled as change, the compromises and not the changes needed, and the flaws of expecting uniform public opinion about the fate of each sacked minister. The result is something like James Baldwin, 'the fire next time.'
So the proper debate in this long awaited reshuffle, for those in proper realistic mood on how politics works, and not 'visions' as if they were horses, will be posing the issue of when 'the fire next time' arrives.' Before one suggests that this is astrology of political explosion, let it be said that 'fire' could as well be the next round of 'indomitable' mood in Parliament as when MPs rejected Energy and Minerals estimates, sending the Treasury on 'bank raid,' ruining all of 2011/12 estimates architecture.
The minister was tiring out. One can start from there, the most contested of the ministers removed, and all there is to hear is a litany of 'mistakes' of Mustafa Mkulo, where it is hard to see how he himself devoted 48bn/- to the cotton sector in a 1.7trillion/- stimulus package and pay fictitious companies, just alone.
Extending this sort of observation – a bird's eye view, not starting 'research' – one can see the line of intuitive errors of what the problem is all about, viz., the government works to achieve goals it can't tell MPs. That's the heart of the matter.
There is a singular point on how the government operates, which public opinion often ignores or admittedly has little inclination to appreciate. It is that there is never a case of cabinet fragmentation or polarization in decisions.
Tanzania has never had, since 1961 found itself in a situation where the prime minister oversteps the president and the latter has little reserve to solve it. In 1983 it was the campaign against smuggling or hoarding, where President Nyerere put a stop to it, against public opinion, and took responsibility.
The other instance was precisely ten years later in 1993 when President Mwinyi caved in to 'Tanganyikan' parliamentary pressure and accepted 'a government of Tanganyika within the Union in one year.' Resignations in the third phase government were like the present phase – the government engages in some policy action and commits enormous funds, MPs know next to nothing or merely exploit public ignorance to shout. Ministers are told to resign; a new round of appointments, swearing – the life blood of the system.
In actual context therefore, it isn't a series of ministers who were being contested by the public but government action, for one ever said this or that minister disobeyed topmost authorities.
How therefore can a minister satisfy the day to day inquiries of leadership in the government – and then well schooled MPs discover he has made ten mistakes costing billions of shillings in one year, and this 'loss' wasn't factored in what cabinet hierarchy told him or her to do? When you remove six, it is just where some 'remodelling' has to take place – in continuation of the permanent war of feelings between rulers and opinion.
A clever fellow would say the US federalists said it all, that 'you can fool all people some of the time, fool some people all the time, but not fool all people all the time.' It isn't really fooling them but balancing their contentions, by grabbing here, pushing there.
Unless these interests are rationalized in the first place, there is no way the government can explain to all what it is doing to anyone in particular – for instance saying the 1.7trillion/- was for the cotton sector was plausible, owing to widespread belief in using global commodity trade openings for foreign exchange.
But it would have been palpably unequal when so many sectors were on the verge of collapse and then only King Cotton is considered. And helpfully, does the government lose a night's sleep over problems of cotton marketing companies or is it cooperatives? But whom do the donors want to hear?

Ophthalmology reviews in Hellertown
I would absolutely NOT let anyone in the optical department touch a pair of my glasses again. While I appreciated them confessing after ...MoreRead more of this review examining my glasses that they did not know how to take the lenses out of the frames, in the process I believe they put a deep scratch in one of the lenses, and refused to accept responsibility for it. The insulting implication was that the lens must have already had the scratch, and by me pointing it out to them, I was trying to scam them in some way. I was very offended, and worse, very disappointed, because everything up to that moment had been fantastic. Even as I write this I get incensed thinking about it.
(I state this in terms of "I believe they put a deep scratch...." so no one should be able to think I am being libelous. From my perspective, I clean my lenses regularly and know what they look like, and had done so just a hour or so before I handed them to the person working in the optical department. In my opinion, the lens wasn't scratch before I handed them to her, it was when she handed them back...)
Regardless, I would absolutely go back to Dr. again. He has all the latest equipment, and it makes the exam process much more pleasant and much more thorough and precise. I just will stay the heck away from the optician."
I can't give a review of Dr. because I never saw him. But, based on the service I received from his staff, I would not recommend him.
First of all, I made it clear to three different employees that I both needed (due to insurance) and wanted to go to a specific ...MoreRead more of this review hospital. I did so to ensure that I would be scheduled appropriately. As I was securing the date, I noticed they had put the wrong hospital on the information card. I immediately pointed this error out to the scheduling on duty and was told it would be corrected immediately. I travel for a living and it is very important that I confirm my appointments to prevent excessive fees due to schedule changes.
Then I got a phone call from the "surgical coordinator" informing me that I had in fact been scheduled to the wrong hospital. When I told her what had happened and what my needs were, she dismissed it, saying that "it was to correct" and that I needed to "change the date of the surgery". I asked her who was going to pay my travel fees for changing my travel due to their error, because it certainly was not going to be me or my organization. She did not know what to do at all and never helped with the end result. I ended up going through a mountain of phone calls with my insurance to make sure that if I went ahead with the surgery on that day in the wrong hospital, I would still be covered.
My coverage is excellent and yet, I received several phone calls from the "insurance and billing" person, who talked to me as if
she was some sort of bill collector and I was in arrears. This was not the case at all. We have always paid promptly and also had excellent insurance coverage. She actually threatened me with "if you don't pay up front, you won't get the surgery" when I questioned about what she had filed with the insurance providers.
I expressed my dissatisfaction several times to the insurance and billing person and the surgical coordinator and nothing was done. I even had to push hard to get receipts so I could file my own insurance. Interesting since they push hard for their money and yet drag their feet to give the appropriate receipt.
I had both eyes done and was satisfied with Dr Blotnick until I went for my next day follow-up. I went to the Rd office which is where I have always gone for years. I was told when I arrived that Dr Blotnick was in the University location. At no time, via paperwork or the confirming phone call, was the location mentioned. At no time did anyone on staff indicate that I was scheduled to go to a completely different location than I had ever gone to. So , I ended up seeing a completely different
doctor who DID NOT perform the surgery. While he was nice, he was not Dr Blotnick. Again, their idea to correct their series of blunders was to expect me to jump through hoops.
Finally and totally fed up, I spoke with the office manager about all this and was told by him that he agreed and that I had been treated very badly. And then he said, "What do you want me to do about it?" If that wasn't bad enough, he then said, "you got eye surgery from one of the best in , so...." in a very patronizing way, inferring that I show my gratitude by keeping quiet. I was appalled and disgusted. I paid dearly for good service on every level and did not receive it. Frankly, with this
arrogant and dismissive office manager, no wonder the office staff are lacking in professionalism and seem entirely incapable of listening to patients needs.
I am done with this practice.
minutes. He had picked up the anxiety in my voice and first reassured me
that the problem was most likely a minor one, not uncommon after
cataract surgery. Then he arranged for me to be seen as soon as the office opened. He examined
my troubled eye, and quickly confirmed ...MoreRead more of this review his initial expectation. He explained that the cause of the fogginess was a thin film behind the lens, and that it could be removed in an out-patient laser procedure that was extraordinarily safe. (I believe he quoted the odds of permanent impairment as 1 in 2800. He always has the benefit/risk odds in mind when discussing the pro's and con's of any procedure, and engages me in deciding what to do. This is just one aspect of his thorough knowledge of his specialty. )
The procedure went perfectly, and my vision in that eye is now better than it has ever been in my life!
This was our latest interaction. Previously, I had seen Dr. many times for everything from routine examinations to symptoms of possible retinal detachment, and for cataract removal. In every case and every interaction, his professionalism, expertise, and personal caring were exemplary.
I would recommend Dr. without any reservation whatsoever. You could not find a better ophthalmologist.

Eatocracy's Managing Editor Kat Kinsman attempts to vegetable garden on a roof deck in Brooklyn, NY in USDA Hardiness Zone 6b. Feel free to taunt, advise or encourage her efforts as this series progresses.
This year, you'll grow your own food. Not all of it and probably not even most or much of it. But you'll grow some, and that's going to change your life.
There are plenty of reasons to do this. Andrew Zimmern told us just this week that. "If everyone grew what they could, supported urban farms and community gardens in cities and local CSAs, the pressure relief on our overtaxed system would be immense. The resulting dollar shift would be staggering and deliver a positive shot in the arm to local economies. Our food would also be safer. Small action here can yield tremendous impact, immediately."
That's awfully compelling - and pretty intense. Perhaps start small. Grow an herb you are sick of having to pay money for at a store. Grow a vegetable that reminds you of how a grandparent's kitchen smelled. Grow a fruit you always want to have at your fingertips. Grow an ingredient that will make your sauce, stew, soup or salad taste the way it did when you had it at that little cafe in Rome, France, Mexico City or Des Moines.
Just grow something.
But...but...but you have no time and possess neither arable land nor green thumb. You live in a mineshaft several kilometers below the Gobi Desert, and it is dark, arid and oh, so cold. American Idol is on.
Nope. Nuh-uh. We're having none of that and will no longer accept any of the following excuses.
I have no outdoor space.
You do, presumably, have a window in your cell, yes? Congratulations. You have outdoor space. Shocking quantities of vegetation can be grown in window boxes, hanging baskets and those Topsy Turvy planters that blonde people smile near in commercials.
In my fifth-floor walk-up bachelorette apartment, I grew 23 varieties of heirloom tomatoes and a slew of peppers in an elaborate rigging of containers strung from my fire escape. This was, most likely, not especially prudent or legal, but boy, did my landlord dig the fresh salsa I
You have space; just get clever about it.
No, seriously, I have no outdoor space.
There is a community garden near you. Look it up online at localharvest.org, or ask that vegan who your cousin used to date. They'll totally hook you up.
A community garden is defined by the American Community Garden Association as "Any piece of land gardened by a group of people." That's it. You won't suddenly become a Communist, break out in a case of tie dye or even have to make friends if you don't want to (though you could). You'll just have a small, nearby chunk of land over which to fuss. You'll acquire a new place to go outside your house that isn't a cafe with wi-fi, a bar, or anywhere else you would spend a wad of cash on a regular basis.
Oh, right - money.
I'm totally broke. How can I garden?
– Containers and tools
If you want to pony up for a $299.95 Hammacher Schlemmer Standing Patio Garden or an $80 garden fork from Smith & Hawken, hey, they're really pretty and I'm not going to stop you.
The rest of us will grab old bathtubs, dented cooking pots, egg cartons (and eggshells), takeout containers, tires, soup cans, and even newspapers stuffed into old soda bottles, throw some soil into it and call it a garden. You could, in theory, scoop dirt into an discarded pair of stockings, nail it to a windowsill and call it a planter. Martha Stewart might not come calling, but did you really want her dropping by your house, anyhow?.
You don't need schmancy tools, pricey chemicals (which aren't necessarily great for you anyhow), artisanal farming cleats or any such frippery. At the bare minimum, you require dirt and seeds. Yes, sunshine and light as well, but for the most part, those are available for free from the sky.
– Dirt
As for dirt - if you're lucky, it's just right there underfoot. If you're concerned about its quality, stick it in the oven at 200°F for about an hour to kill off any nasty fungus or nematodes. If you indeed live in a concrete jungle, grocery and dollar stores tend to have inexpensive potting soil that you can amp up with coffee grounds - which are usually free for the asking from your local cafe, or many Starbucks outposts.
– Seeds
Seeds. Ohhhh...seeds. They can become an obsession, and there are many incredibly worthy operations like Southern Exposure, Seed Savers, Baker Creek, Victory Seeds, Amishland and D. Landreth, dedicated to saving heirloom and non-genetically modified produce for generations to come.
You could consider that an investment in yours and the planet's future, but if you haven't got the scratch, that's okay. Gardeners are some of the most delightfully generous and freaky people on the planet, and if you say you'd like to join their ranks, they'll likely throw fistfuls of seeds and cuttings at your head in welcome. Gayla Trail's You Grow Girl is a remarkable resource and rallying place for people gardening on a budget, and any urban gardening group will be more than happy to pitch and help you start.
Dollar stores and Asian markets often have incredible deals on seeds, but there's an even cheaper way. Just save the seeds from the food you're eating. Skip any potentially genetically modified produce, and scoop out some of the seeds from your favorite farmers market tomato, pepper, melon, okra or whatever you'd like to replicate.
For tomatoes, include any surrounding glop (a.k.a. locular jelly) and put in all a glass of water. Cover with plastic wrap, poke a small hole in the wrap and place on a windowsill for a couple of days. Stir it once a day and replace the wrap.
You'll see a little bit of white mold floating on top of the water. Scoop that off, along with any floating seeds (they're duds). Pour the water and seeds in a sieve and rinse thoroughly, agitating with your fingers if you'd care to.
Put the seeds on a paper plate, labeled with the seeds' variety if you happen to know it, and let them dry thoroughly. Then store them in an envelope in a cool dark place (the fridge is fine) until the next planting season. Saved properly, they'll germinate for up to ten years.
For peppers, just separate them from the inner membrane and dry on paper plates. Corn can be dried on the cob and stored for future use. Okra seeds just need to be removed from the pod, dried, and used within the next year. Once you have a stash, start trading them with your new Communist hippie vegan pals from the community garden and explore a whole new world of freshly grown freebies.
I am just horrible at gardening and kill my houseplants. It's just too hard.
I grew corn and potatoes on my Brooklyn roofdeck and sweet potatoes on my front stoop with a bus stop a few feet away. You can do this.
Give yourself permission to fail. Some things just aren't going to work, and you have to accept that. Others will just go gangbusters. You can stack the deck in your favor by finding out what grows best in your hardiness zone, when you should plant it, and how much light and water it requires. Take a spin through your local farmers market or CSA and see what was grown nearby (rather than the tomatoes that were trucked across country) to get a sense of what might work.
You can indeed use seedlings from a friend or garden emporium, but try starting at least one or two things from seed. This may sound incredibly dorky, but it's simply thrilling to see something you planted spring to life. As our very own commenters have said, "It truly is a miracle that happens right before you." and "These are like your children right now. Of course you will think about them often, especially at the end of the day."
Some sort of primal, protective instinct kicks in, and you will not forget to water, shade and nurture that plant. I promise. And if you need encouragement, I'm here in Zone 6b. Drop me a line in the comments.
Seriously, I have no dirt, sunlight, community garden or friends.
Lettuce. Countertop. Kitchen sponge. Fluorescent light. Have at it.
Got a gardening question? We're partnering with CNN and Sanjay Gupta's Fit Nation to empower people to take action and grow their own food. Follow along at Eatocracy as we garden all through to winter, and don't be afraid to ask for help. Let's grow something together.

El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa talked to a packed house Thursday night about the gun bills Governor John Hickenlooper is likely to sign.
A lot of people have questions about how the gun control bills will impact Southern Colorado.
"The Constitution is the supreme law of this land, it cannot be infringed upon," said Belinda Toth, who is against gun control.
"I'm concerned about politicians trying to take away our gun rights," said gun advocate Ryan Parkinson.
Hundreds of people attended the town hall meeting to learn about gun control. Maketa explained the gun bills pending in our state. One would ban ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds. Maketa says that would be impossible to enforce.
"I can't tell you when those were sold, bought, and purchased. As far as I'm concerned, they were all pre-July 1st if the governor does sign this bill," said Maketa.
Hickenlooper says he will sign the bills.
Maketa told the crowd he will have no choice but to follow them, but he won't stop fighting for what he believes in.
The other side of the debate includes Mark Kelly, the husband of former U.S. Representative Gabby Giffords. Kelly, who is a gun owner himself, spoke in Denver last week about why he thinks we need stricter laws when it comes to owning guns.

The fin uses tri-material construction is made of Tecraclene (Techno-Polymers) and thermoplastic rubber: blade with four channels for optimizing water flow, the center channel is inverted to make better use of the glide stroke. The upper and lower stabilizers help maximize muscle energy conversion.
Tecraclene ribs in the foot pocket afford an improved fit and permit more efficient transmission of the kicking action. The foot pocket delivers maximum power and evenly distributes pressure over the foot to minimize fatigue. The foot pocket interior features internal ribbing that improves fit, eliminates foot suction and prevents foot pocket flexing, while transmitting more power to the blade.

A combination of materials and geometry designed to achieve an OPB without apparent hinge points, the elastic OPB causes the blade to flex at an optimal angle during the upward and downward strokes increasing the efficiency of the kicks. All effort is translated into a positive easy thrust.

Birth defects might be structural or functional
(HealthDay News) -- Researchers have identified thousands of types of abnormalities present at birth that can cause physical or mental disability. But all the variations can be put into a few categories, according to the U.S. National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
Structural birth defects, according to the institute, are physical problems such as cleft lip or cleft palate, heart defects (missing or misshaped valves, for instance) and abnormal limbs (such as club foot). They also include problems related to the growth and development of the brain and spinal cord -- neural tube defects such as spina bifida.
Functional birth defects, it says, are problems that stem from a body part or body system that does not work properly, often leading to developmental disabilities. They include:
Sometimes a combination of factors is involved. Birth defects can, in fact, lead to both structural and functional problems.

Count Dracula is a fictional character created by Muggle author Bram Stoker. Dracula, a vampire, was inspired by Vlad Drakul, father of Vlad the Impaler.
Behind the scenes
- In an early version of the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Parvati Patil's boggart would have taken the form of Dracula, who would have been forced into the clothing of Carmen Miranda when the Boggart-Banishing Spell was used.[1] The role was even cast, with Yana Yanezic set to play the part, though it is unknown if it was ever filmed.[2]
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (film) (Cut from final film)
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (video game) (Mentioned on a Famous Wizard Card)
Notes and references

The Republican catch phrase as the 111th Congress winds down appears to be "rushing this thing through," or something similar. It's an accusation that the Democrats are "ramming this thing down our throats," or some such, and the implication is that the poor Republicans just don't have enough time to do their jobs. I mean, read all these bills.
It's true, they've used the same phrase in the past, but it's about every other phrase coming out of their mouths these days, the other being "ignoring the mandate of the American people."
Never mind that (a) several of them are on record saying they want to stall so that the bills they fear will pass will have to wait for the 112th Congress, which will be populated by more of them, (b) several of these bill have been languishing around for months now, and (c) these are the same whiners who've filibustered every goddamn bill the Democrats have tried to put through.
Didn't work with Don't ask don't tell, now did it? And that's a curious thing. Eight Republicans — including two who voted against cloture — voted to repeal that disgusting policy. The extremists on the right (most of them, these days) are howling in despair and predicting disaster for the U.S. military. Tell that to Alexander the Great. But really, what they're howling about is something entirely different. That one little vote — the disaster it portends is for the extreme right and homophobes everywhere because it proves that progress does indeed happen, regardless of how much you try to stop it.
For some reason, though, the radical rightists didn't try the "we don't have enough time to read the bill" thing with DADT. Maybe "repeal the damn thing" was actually simple enough for them to understand.
But they killed off the bill providing aid to the first responders on 9/11 — these uber-patriots who use "9/11" to stir up fear and question the patriotism for everyone else. They didn't have time to read the bill. Never mind that it was introduced in February. February 2009.
And they don't have time to read the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, which was completed in April.
They just killed the DREAM Act outright, though. It was about immigrants, and they never had any intention of reading that one.
I suppose Harry Reid could file for cloture on the 9/11 bill again, and probably cause more howling of outrage from Republicans who don't like the idea of working the week before Christmas like the rest of us. Jeez, these guys get more vacation time than I do, and I get a mountain of it.
Chuck Shumer says there will be another vote and that they've rejiggered it to make more Republicans happy. But when has that ever gotten Republicans to vote "yes" on something?
And the real reason they're stalling on the START is because they don't want the United States to limit its nuclear arms in any way whatsoever, which made Bob Corker and Lindsey Graham look like total idiots when they threatened to fuck with it because Reid was gonna make 'em vote on DADT. They were gonna fuck with it anyway, let's be real. They think that if the United States cuts back on its nuclear weapons, it won't have enough to blow Iran off the map. And maybe North Korea, although you'd think they already woulda done that. What keeps 'em so quiet about North Korea, I wonder? They're hatred of Kim Jong-il doesn't even make the shadow of their hatred for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The leader of this madness is Arizona's junior senator, Jon Kyl. Combined with mean old man John McCain and Arizona's nutty governor, Jan Brewer, that state's starting to look like the Mississippi of the West.
Kyl is the Senate Minority Whip, meaning he's responsible for whipping up the insanity to a fever pitch, and he was just named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world. Of course, Time also named the guy who started Facebook as its Man of the Year, so take that for what it's worth.
Kyl's another one of those who is calling Harry Reid sacreligious for making the senators work this week. Say, did you happen to notice that Joe Lieberman, who is Jewish, said not one work about working on the Sabbath to repeal DADT? And Kyl, named by distributorcap as the 2010 Douchebag of the Year — sure spends a lot of time on the Sunday morning talk shows and not in church.
But he also said something about Christmas being one of the two most sacred days to Christians, the other being Easter, and the two taken together being the only two times in the year many Christians grace the inside of a church.
The other 363 (364 in Leap Year), you'd be hardpressed to tell they were Christians at all, unless, of course, you happen to believe that Christians are all about making money and screwing everybody else.
Regardless of all that, the end of the 111th Congress is nigh. It accomplished a lot actually, but also caved a lot to the threats and machinations of the Bully Party. The 112th Congress isn't likely to accomplish jack shit, what with the Republicans' Number One priority being to keep Obama from being elected.
So, the big question will be who's to blame for the gridlocked Congress.
You and I know the answer to that. But what about the rest of America? Will they finally get it? Or will they go along with the Republicans and blame the black guy in the White House?
Only time will tell. But I know which one it'll be if a certain somebody doesn't get off his ass and show some gumption. Getting DADT repealed was quite a coup. But we need to see more.
Much more.

Big, chunky necklaces – in any size, shape, or color variation – are hands-down my favorite way to accessorize. Who doesn't love a one-step addition that instantly takes plain T-shirts from 0 to 60 on the style scale? Exactly.
Even though there seem to be no hard-and-fast rules about which type of statement necklace should be worn with each neckline, I've found that these pairings always work (and are pretty much guaranteed to garner a handful of I-want-your-necklace compliments).
The Statement Necklace: An Instant Outfit-Maker Boutique opens Saturday, May 11, at 11AM ET.

I'm somewhat disheartened that no one has taken this opportunity to get into the CWBP. I've seen a lot of posts from people that say they want to contribute but don't know where to start, and here I've put it out on a silver platter.
Hopefully this bump will inspire someone. Otherwise I suppose I'll start it when I get back from New Orleans in a couple of weeks.
