OWB 11gR2 – XML
By David Allan-Oracle on Apr 13, 2011
An XML post I did a while back was on Leveraging XDB, which illustrated how to leverage the XML SQL capabilities of the Oracle database. A couple years on, this post could as well have been titled Leveraging ODI, since here I'll show how with a new XML platform defined, you can leverage the ODI XML JDBC driver and build code template mappings to extract and integrate XML in the same manner as ODI.
First up copy the snpsxmlo.jar file from ODI 10g into the OWB owb/lib/ext directory and also on the server if you are running distributed. You'll need to restart any processes (OWB, control center agent etc.) to pick up the jar. Next download and execute this XML platform script here to define the XML platform in the OWB repository – the platform script defines datatypes and some properties of the platform (default URL, driver class etc.). You can execute this from OMBPlus or from the OMBPlus panel in the designer. This will create an XML node under the Databases node in the Projects panel and Locations panel.
You build XML modules in the same way as you build any other module.
Create the module and define the location using the URL for the XML JDBC driver (see doc here) – just like in ODI we can stage the data in a different database rather than what the default driver does, below we are just using the default in-memory mode;
You can hit Test Connection and validate your input. If you get class not found ensure you put the driver JAR file in the correct directory. There is a bit of typing going on as you can see, so double check your work.
After that thought its easy street. Now you can import just like regular modules.
Select the table type, the import for XML will use the JDBC database metadata to return 'tables' corresponding to the elements in the XML.
I just selected all the elements…
After the import is complete, just like in ODI we get the columns for our elements and a table for each element, You can then view the data in the elements;
Note there are some extra columns from our XML element definition;
<!ELEMENT city (client*)>
<!ATTLIST city
The columns CITYORDER, CITYPK and REGIONFK are the additional columns the XML JDBC driver has added to 'relationalize' the nested XML element.
You can then go on and build code template mappings manipulating the XML, below I join region, city and client and load the result into an Oracle target table, I could do all sorts along the way.
The execution unit view has the XML elements being joined in one execution unit and the Oracle target in another, this was the default execution plan generated by OWB. I used the SQL to Oracle load code template shipped with OWB and the Oracle target code template for the integration execution unit.
Deploying and executing the mapping we can then view the resultant data in the target table, pretty straightforward.
That's a whirlwind pass on extracting information from XML in a very straight forward manner. The platform definition provided has been used here for demonstration to illustration how simple this can be. Writing XML is another interesting capability also possible with such an approach using this driver, but that's another story.

Wyeth, Elan Push Forward With Alzheimer's Drug
Wyeth and Elan are pushing ahead with research on an Alzheimer's drug designed to clear toxic plaques from the brain, despite mixed results in mid-stage testing.
The companies had already revealed data showing the drug, called bapineuzumab, helped people who were free of a form of a gene that's a risk factor for Alzheimer's. But patients with that form, called ApoE4, showed only a trend toward improvement — not a statistically significant one.
Now, in another tough year for Alzheimer's drugs, the companies presented more detailed data today at a big Alzheimer's conference. The results showed that none of the patients — with or without the genetic issue — saw more benefit from a higher dose of the drug than they did a lower dose.
In after-hours trading, shares of Wyeth were off $4.94, or 11%, to $40.17. Elan's ADRs fell $8.40, or nearly 25% to $25.56.
More information about side effects was also revealed. Three patients getting bapineuzumab died, though researchers didn't consider them to be related to the treatment, Dow Jones Newswires reported. In addition, there were 12 cases of fluid buildup in the brain, or vasogenic edema, in bapineuzumab-treated patients compared with none among patients on placebo. Wyeth and Elan said they believed the side effect can be managed.
On a more positive front, those who didn't carry the ApoE4 variant improved on three of four measures of cognitive tasks, as well as in activities of daily living such as eating or using the toilet without assistance. People who fared best on the drug were those without the variant who completed the 18-month study; about 25% of participants didn't remain to the conclusion. The companies called the data "encouraging." See their news release.
Ronald Petersen, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., told Dow Jones Newswires: "I can't tell if the compound's efficacious or not at this point in time, but (Wyeth and Elan) learned some important information going forward about both the possible efficacy and safety." Petersen is also chair of the medical and scientific advisory council of the Alzheimer's Association, the group sponsoring the International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease. The Health Blog talked with him late last year about his research looking for early warning signs of Alzheimer's.

Students will be placed by their First-Year Seminar in a first-year residence hall. The information completed on the application will also be used in the pairing of roommates such as: day or night, clean or messy, study habits and smoker/non-smoker.
For the 2015-2016 academic year...
New Student Move-In: Wednesday, August 26, 2015 at 8:00 am
Returning Student Move-In: Friday, August 28, 2015 at 8:00 am
Winter Break All Halls Close: Saturday, December 19, 2015 at noon
All First Year Experience (FYE) residence halls are closed during January Term (J-Term)
All Halls Open for Spring Semester: Saturday, January 23, 2016 at noon

Welcome Weekend starts on Wednesday, August 26, 2015 at 6:00 pm for residence hall students.
Nearly all of the students on campus live in double rooms, as well as a few triple rooms. There are more than 40 three-person rooms on campus. First-year students are assigned to available spaces in the order in which the contract and $250 housing deposit were received. Most first-year students receive another first-year student as a roommate, but this is not guaranteed. Assignments will be available online beginning late July 2015.
To access your room assignment, follow these steps:
1. Log into BlueView
2. Click "Banner Self Service" (under MyDUSIS)
3. Click "Student Services and Financial Aid"
4. Click "Housing Roommate" (last option)
5. Select term
*This is in accordance to the Uniform Fire Code and City of Des Moines Housing Code. Drake University carries no insurance covering personal property that may be destroyed by fire. The University suggests that students obtain insurance coverage for all personal property if they do not have such coverage already.
All halls on campus (First Year and Upper-class) have extra-long beds. Residents supply their own sheets, blankets, bedspreads, and pillows. Linen packages may be purchased through the Residence Hall Association. Information on this service will be mailed to your home address.
The Drake University campus is a smoke-free environment as per an Iowa State Law enacted July of 2008. Hookah pipes are not allowed in the residence halls even to be stored. Should a resident be found responsible for smoking in their residence hall room, that resident will be assessed a cleaning fee of $250 at the time of the incident.
Residence hall rooms contain wooden beds that can be bunked/lofted or used as twin beds. Only university beds are permitted in the residence halls. Beds cannot be bunked in First Year Experience residence halls.
There is no storage available on campus. Any residents needing storage will need to seek a location off campus. Information for facilities can be obtained at the hall front desk through the yellow pages.
Burning of candles, incense and similar materials is a fire hazard and is prohibited in residence hall rooms and on exterior window sills. The aroma of incense and scented candles may affect another student's health.
All pets, except fish, are prohibited, as they can create safety and sanitation hazards in the residence halls. Animals "just visiting" are also not permitted in the residence halls. Fish are the only acceptable pets permitted and may be kept in tanks no larger than 10 gallons. Fish should be removed from the residence halls during winter and spring breaks.
As there is only one telephone line in each room, it is recommended that you discuss the acquisition of a telephone with your roommate. Each room will have shared voicemail.
The Hall Coordinator or Assistant Director must approve all room changes and the room change forms must be completed before a student may move into a new room. Should an unauthorized room change occur, the student will be assessed an improper room change fee of $100.00.
The complexes are located adjacent to Drake's campus on 30thstreet and are for Juniors, Seniors, Pharm. D, Law and graduate students.
There is a two year live on requirement: Full-time students must live in a Drake University residence hall for the first two-years out of high school. The Drake West Village property is not owned nor operated by Drake University. Drake West Village is not a residence hall

I've written recently on how restrictive English and Welsh legislation (more here) really is, certainly to my gobsmacked surprise, in relation to what we have casually understood to date as the right to free speech in these nations.
I'm still cogitating on these matters, as I imagine you are too.
Today, meanwhile, Lord Leveson publishes a 2000-page report on the subject of the press, its culture and ethics – as well as, presumably, suggestions for its possible future regulation. You can find more background to this report at its current website here.
I'm inclined to believe the best way forward to guarantee the plurality of viewpoints, which Paul mentioned the other day is quite lacking, would be to ensure media ownership was in some way mutualised or devolved to the people who actually did the work, as well as – potentially – to the readers themselves. This may be a simple prejudice on my part, of course: a cognitive bias from an instinctive "worker". (You're hardly going to see me on a board of directors any time soon, after all.) But, even so, I'm still inclined to believe that a better transmission of a more representative understanding of what people across the nation think – when they truly think for themselves – would be achieved under such a regulatory framework than the current corporate capitalist version of "free market" communications.
And not that I'm knocking the idea of corporations themselves. Personally, I feel the concept has been unreasonably hijacked by the very rich. Corporations are a magnificent organisational tool we will surely need more and more, as society and a wider civilisation become even more complex and tenuously connected.
No. This is not a diatribe against corporations but a measured and level-headed criticism against a certain implementation. We don't need to discard the concept in principle but, rather, should examine different models of corporate governance and structure. As one of my Twitter friends pointed out:
@eiohel co-ops spring to mind. John Lewis Partnership. Anarcho-syndicalism. Mondragon?
These are still corporate bodies, after all; still massive organisational structures.
They could be used to create media empires that, nevertheless, could still serve to respond to society's needs for plural and democratically-couched debate.
So I'd prefer a system whereby we regulate and control business structures rather than regulate and control concrete content. I'm inclined to conclude that bad comes from dysfunctional framing and good comes from reasonable and sensible power relationships. Concrete content, meanwhile, should be in the hands of moral individuals: people who work in good faith because of who they are and what they subscribe to.
One final thought – too late for Leveson, mind – on how we should deal with the subject of libel. The recent Lord McAlpine case made it clear that a loose word or tweet can do a lot of damage. But it is also true to say that in other cases it would appear that English and Welsh libel law has been used to muzzle matters of considerable public interest. How about we tweak the law as well as the process that surrounds it?
In the following way, that is:
- If someone takes out libel action against another, a special legal figure invented for the purpose should automatically kick in and investigate the substance of the issue.
- If it is found to be true, the person who complained about the statement should then be obliged to justify why further public dissemination of the information should not take place.
- If they cannot justify why further dissemination should not take place, they pay all the costs of the investigation.
- If the statement under question is found to be false, the person who made the statement must pay the costs of the investigation and apologise for the statement.
- Under no circumstances will compensation be paid to either party. All that is covered is the cost of the special legal figure and their investigations. Neither would intentionality be a matter for debate.
Pros and cons? Further tweaks? What do you think?
Would the above introduce a more balanced set of dynamics – fit for a 21st century where we have all become potential public-domain communicators?
Or would it open the floodgates to even more dysfunctional discourse than we currently find ourselves witnessing?

Skipper Stuart Broad says England's last game of the tour Down Under remains important, despite Australia wrapping up the Twenty20 series today.
The hosts' eight-wicket win at the MCG leaves Broad's side playing for pride in Sydney on Sunday.
However, the match represents another step towards the World Twenty20, starting in mid-March, ahead of which England have a limited-overs series with defending champions West Indies in the Caribbean.
Speaking exclusively to ecb.co.uk, Broad said: "This series is gone, which is disappointing. But every time you pull on the Three Lions for your country you want to win that game and you want to do the best for yourself and for your team.
"I think the guys will look at that game positively because we have got cricket coming up. It's not like we go home and you don't do anything for four months.
"We're playing towards World Cups etcetera, but I think the guys will really give it their all there because we're desperate to leave Australia with a little bit of pride.
"It's been a tough tour and Australia have thoroughly outplayed us and you have to give credit to them."
The hosts completed their third series victory of England's visit by initially limiting their opponents to 130 for nine, with seamer Josh Hazlewood returning 4-30.
Unbeaten fifties from Cameron White and home captain George Bailey finished the job with more than five overs to spare.
Broad admitted that, defending such a low score, he and fellow opening bowler Jade Dernbach did not deliver well enough up front.
"Jade and I didn't set the tone how we'd like to. I have to take responsibility for that," Broad, who played his 50th T20 international today, added. "But I think you have to credit the way Australia played.
"When you're chasing a low total, what you want from a team is to come out a bit 'blocky', stuttery and give you a chance. But they came out all guns blazing.
"That's a lesson we can learn for the future. I think there's been occasions in the past when we've potentially fallen into the trap of getting too shy and we have to learn from our mistakes because you're always going to lose games in international cricket, but to lose it when you don't particularly feel like you've turned up is disappointing."

Wellsboro, a town of beauty and culture rich in natural resources and the County Seat of Tioga County, is a beautiful gas-lit town in the Endless Mountains which are part of the Northern Tier (approximately four hours from Philadelphia, five hours from Pittsburgh and three hours from Harrisburg). Founded in 1806 by settlers from Delaware, Maryland and Philadelphia, it was incorporated in 1830.
The town was named in honor of Mary Wells, wife of one of the original settlers, Benjamin Wister Morris. Noted for beautiful elms, maple trees and wide boulevards with gas lights, this is a village of pleasant homes and hospitable people.
If you are an outdoors enthusiast, you have come to the right place. Situated in approximately 160,000 acres of the Tioga State Forest lies the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania. The Canyon begins south of Ansonia along US Route 6 and continues for approximately 47 miles. The maximum depth of the canyon is 1,450 feet at Waterville, near the southern end. At Leonard Harrison and Colton Point State Parks, the depth is more than 800 feet and from rim to rim is approximately 4,000 feet. These overlooks offer the most spectacular views. Enjoy hiking and biking along Pine Creek in beautiful Tioga County, as well as hunting, fishing, bird watching, birding, rafting, boating, hiking, snowmobiling and skiing.
If you love antiques, quilts and crafts, you will be in your glory here in Wellsboro. There are many wonderful finds in the stores of Main Street.
Select the restaurant of your choice before taking an old-fashioned train ride on the Tioga Central Railroad.
Whether you are looking for romance, recreation, nature, or a relaxing and enjoyable weekend getaway or vacation, you're sure to find it, here in magnificent Wellsboro, PA.

"I had hoped that liberal and enlightened thought would have reconciled the Christians so that their religious fights would not endanger the peace of society." "We have abundant reason to rejoice that in this land, the light of truth and reason has triumphed over the power of bigotry and superstition, and that every person may worship god according to the dictates of his own heart."
- George Washington
This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it. Consider the calamities that engine of grief has produced!
- John Adams
"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon, than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind."
- Thomas Paine (The Age of Reason, 1794-1795.)
"Lighthouses are more useful than churches."
- Benjamin Franklin
I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of... Each of those churches accuse the other of unbelief; and for my own part, I disbelieve them all."
- Thomas Paine (The Age of Reason, 1794-1795)
"During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What have been its fruits? More or less in all places, pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution."
James Madison (Memorial and Remonstrance against Religious Assessments, 1785.)
"Is uniformity attainable? Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth."
Thomas Jefferson (Notes on Virginia, 1782)
"Where do we find a precept in the Bible for Creeds, Confessions, Doctrines and Oaths, and whole carloads of other trumpery that we find religion encumbered with in these days?"
"The civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship, nor shall any national religion be established, nor shall the full and equal rights of conscience be in any manner, or on any pretence, infringed.''
- James Madison (Original wording of the First Amendment; Annals of Congress , June 8, 1789)
"As the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."
- President John Adams (Treaty of Tripoli, 1797)
"As to religion, I hold it to be the indispensable duty of government to protect all conscientious protesters thereof, and I know of no other business government has to do therewith."
- Thomas Paine (Common Sense, 1776)

The goal of 'Pollan for Secretary of Agriculture' is to have Michael Pollan
Secretary of Agriculture for The United States of America.
We believe that access to wholesome food is the right of every person.
The preamble of The Constitution of the United States of America:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
This is a unique time in our nationĺs history where the opportunity for changing business as usual is possible. This is not a partisan argument, but one that all Americans can rightly feel passionately and patriotic about. Coming together over the dinner table is inextricably woven into the fabric of our nation.
We understand we are in the position of drafting a reluctant leader in Pollan. He is fully aware of this movement and we are in regular contact. Heĺs had an opportunity to preview this material and is impressed with the enthusiasm the petition has garnered. We see this as an excellent opportunity to hone our argument and forge a coalition dedicated to transforming the way the USDA does business. Following is a list of statements that show why Pollan's unique understanding of Agriculture makes him the best choice for Secretary of Agriculture. The quotations are from Pollanĺs Open letter to the Next "Farmer in Chief" published in the New York Times Magazine. We view that article as our position paper.
The ĹOne Big Ideaĺ put forth in the article:
"Most of the
problems our food system faces today are because of its reliance on fossil
fuels, and to the extent that our policies wring the oil out of the system and
replace it with the energy of the sun, those policies will simultaneously
improve the state of our health, our environment and our security."
-Energy Independence :
"After cars, the food system uses more fossil fuel than any other sector of the economy -- 19 percent. And while the experts disagree about the exact amount, the way we feed ourselves contributes more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere than anything else we do -- as much as 37 percent, according to one study."
"Spending on health care has risen from 5 percent of national income in 1960 to 16 percent today, putting a significant drag on the economy."
"Four of the top 10 killers in America today are chronic diseases linked to diet: heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes and cancer. It is no coincidence that in the years national spending on health care went from 5 percent to 16 percent of national income, spending on food has fallen by a comparable amount -- from 18 percent of household income to less than 10 percent."
-National Security:
"At issue is
not only the availability of food, which may be held hostage by a hostile
state, but its safety: as recent scandals in China
demonstrate, we have little control over the
safety of imported foods. The deliberate contamination of our food presents
another national-security threat. At his valedictory press conference in 2004,
Tommy Thompson, the secretary of health and human services, offered a chilling
warning, saying, "I, for the life of me, cannot understand why the
terrorists have not attacked our food supply, because it is so easy to

A 31-year-old Federalsburg, Md. man is wanted by police for allegedly forging a 74-year-old man's checks at grocery stores in Bridgeville and Seaford.
According to the Delaware State Police, the victim reported the checks stolen from his Federalsburg home on June 19. The victim told police the checks had been used at the Food Lions in Bridgeville and Seaford. Police said an investigation revealed the victim's grandson, Frederick F. Kirsch III, and granddaughter, 23-year-old Brittany A. Moore of Blades, had cashed six checks totaling more than $300 by signing the victim's name. Police said Moore was arrested on July 1 and charged with six counts each of identity theft, theft under $1,500 where the victim is over 62 and second degree forgery. Moore is incarcerated at the Delores J. Baylor Women's Correctional Institution on $6,000 cash bail. Kirsch is facing the same charges.
If anyone has information on the whereabouts of Kirsch, they are asked to contact police at (302) 337-1090 or by using the DSP Mobile Crime Tip Application available to download at www.delaware.gov/apps.

President Obama visits Vietnam and Japan this week. The US approach to security in the region is shifting as its friends in the region forge new ties among themselves.
Activists say government permits for mining companies threaten the way of life of the Mangyan indigenous people on the island of Mindoro.
Describing their expedition as a 'a patriotic voyage,' the protesters planned to camp on the island for three days in a symbolic act of defiance against China.
In a blow to China, the tribunal agreed to hear a case in which the Philippines has challenged China's broad claims over disputed areas of the South China Sea.
China has criticized the sail-past of a US warship close to an uninhabited reef in the South China Sea that China has occupied. The US and others contest China's territorial claims there.
The group Abu Sayyaf may be responsible for the kidnapping of two Canadians, a Filipino, and a Norwegian in the troubled southern region of the country.
Even if economic growth in the Middle Kingdom is slowing, Pacific nations are unworried. At least so far. Many have diversified their growth models and aren't wholly dependent on China.
The Philippines today announced a 25 percent military increase to counter China's reclamation projects in the oceans off its shores. Manila says China's claims are illegal and this month argued the case before an international court at The Hague.
Japan and the Philippine are engaged in war games in the South China Sea. The US is at odds with China over land reclamation projects on disputed islands and reefs.
Ugandan audiences strongly relate to the everyman struggles found in soap operas from the Philippines. But sometimes their dramatic plotlines can be too exotic for viewers.
The Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia are building infrastructure and dangling tax breaks for foreign investors at a time when the cost of doing business in China is rising.
And if he was, what does it mean?
Typhoon Hagupit looks set to make landfall this weekend amid two of the Philippines' poorest provinces. Residents have already begun to evacuate, remembering the damage from last year's storm, which left thousands dead and millions displaced.
Haiyan became the strongest storm on record to make landfall when it hit the central Philippines on Nov. 8 last year, killing 6,300 people and displacing 4.1 million more.
The gender gap has narrowed in 105 countries over the last decade, according to a new report from the World Economic Forum. But three nations stand out in a mostly Nordic top 10.
Philippine authorities want to question five US service personnel over the death of a transexual in a hotel room. The US recently upgraded its military alliance with the Philippines in the face of perceived Chinese maritime aggression.
President Benigno Aquino III on Wednesday proposed to give Muslims in the south the ability to run their own government under their own flag, part of a peace plan aimed at ending a four-decade rebellion that has killed 150,000 people.
The Philippines accuses the detained fishermen of poaching endangered turtles in its waters. China says Manila has no jurisdiction to try them and has tried to undermine their trial.
China defended its right to place an oil rig in disputed waters in a meeting today with Vietnamese officials. China's assertiveness has led several Southeast Asian countries to recently settle old disputes among themselves.
China is embroiled in territorial disputes over an oil rig close to Vietnam and the arrest of Chinese fishermen in the Philippines, alarming its Southeast Asian neighbors.
Vietnam disputes China's right to drill for oil in waters that lie within Vietnam's exclusive economic zone. The Philippines has detained Chinese fishermen accused of collecting protected turtles.
A new defense agreement will strengthen the US military presence in the Philippines, a former US colony. The move comes amid tension in the region over China's claims in the South China Sea.
As part of his four-country tour of Asia, Obama will visit the Philippines Monday. He's expected to highlight the importance of security cooperation and the Philippines' strategic role in the region.
The Philippines filed a legal case with the UN Sunday over contested islets, despite China's threats of retaliation for the campaign.
Reconstruction aid is arriving in Tacloban but its mayor is sparring with Philippine President Benigno Aquino. Both are scions of rival political families.

They run each other into walls and don't hesitate to throw an elbow or two, but they make sure their lipstick is in place before doing it. The women of the Rotor City Rollers roller derby league are a combination of football roughness and cover girl looks.
"I went through a really rough time in my life," said league member Christina Brown, 32. "I didn't feel strong, didn't feel assertive and in that moment I was like, 'This is something that I can do.' Here are these women and for whatever time they are on that track, it's not about who they are; it's about a goal you can reach, and you can see it in their faces."
Similar to hockey, but played with roller skates, roller derby is undergoing a resurgence in popularity.
The Rotor City Rollers are practicing now, trying to get players at the same skill level. Open tryouts end Feb. 28. Teams will be chosen after that. The Rotor City Rollers are hoping to have their first match by mid-summer.
"I love the roller derby aspect of it, of course, the fact that it's a contact sport for women. You can still be feminine and sexy or whatever and still be girls," said derby participant Crystal Tabor. "I also like all the girls. It feels really good to be close to a bunch of girls who are respectful of each other and like each other."
Dean Self, one of the coaches in the league, said he likes derby because it's unique.
"It's a little bit more aggressive as far as some of your other skating sports," Self said. "It's different from your typical sports. It's not typical like basketball or football."
Assistant coach of the Rollers and head referee Ken Buchanan used to watch the sport when he was young. His wife is in the Rollers.
"When I was a kid, there was roller derby on TV and I picked up on it and then I kept up with it on TV," Buchanan said. "I like the fact that it gets us out and about nowadays. You have softball for young adults, but other than softball, there's not much else for young people to do."
"I hadn't been on skates since I was 11 or 12 years old. Some of us are really good and then others, like me, haven't been on skates for a while," Tabor said.
A contact sport, roller derby uses two teams that take to the track, each with five members. The women race around the track, while two try to get around the rest to score points. Using hits and blocks, the others do what they can to stop that from happening.
"Some of the things you learn off the bat are how to fall safely to keep you from falling on your rib cage or falling on your tailbone. It does happen though. There are several falls we learn that the safety equipment helps these falls. It helps condition you to relax - that the safety equipment helps," Tabor said.
Every player has a player name they go by. Some range from the threatening "Hurt Cobain," to the outrageous "Thump Her."
"I love competition. I'm very competitive and I like to go very fast," Brown said. "I like how fast the game goes. I like that it's not bogged down with 15,000 rules and sub-rules. I love the campiness of it. It doesn't take itself too seriously. When you're in the game, it's serious, but you're not taking yourself too seriously."
Brown and Tabor said they like the camaraderie of the sport.
"My favorite thing about derby is the way it brings people together," Brown said. "Women of all ethnic groups and races can come together with a common goal. With women, we don't have as many of those opportunities. We don't have as many of those things that we can go do. It's not about your background and who you are, it's about who you are on the playing field."
Buchanan said, "There's nothing like roller derby out there. A lot of guys expect girls to do knitting circles or whatever, and this gives them a chance to work out and work out some of their frustrations. It gives them an opportunity that a lot of women don't have nowadays to do that."

College Hockey:FSU Blanks Lake State
Brown Backstops Bulldogs To First League Win
BIG RAPIDS, Mich. — Lake Superior threw everything at Bulldog goaltender Mike Brown except the kitchen sink Friday night. In return, Brown denied every Laker scoring opportunity to help earn Ferris State a 2-0 win.
"Brown played outstanding tonight," Bulldog coach Bob Daniels said. "I feel that our team as a whole could have played better, though, but Brown was there to make the saves."
Rob Collins provided the scoring early in the first period with a big shorthanded tally. Collins and Chad McIver broke in on goaltender Scott Murray on a two-on-one opportunity. Collins faked the pass and then drained the shot past Murray at 5:54 to make it 1-0.
"Rob Collins is one of the premier players in the league. When he gets the puck, he just has the knack to make things happen," said Daniels.
During the second period, the ice seemed to tilt more in the Lakers' favor. Brown turned away a breakaway early in the second period and then a two-on-one a few minutes later. Likewise, LSSU netminder Scott Murray did a excellent job in halting all the quality chances the Bulldogs threw at him.
The momentum was on the Lakers' side at the beginning of the third period, and strangely it took a fight between Aaron Davis and Chad McIver in the middle of the third to tilt the momentum back in the Bulldogs' favor. Although the defenses were stingy, both goaltenders were there to eliminate any scoring opportunities that were left.
It took an empty-net goal by the Bulldogs to put this one out of reach and get Ferris its first league win.
Lake State and the Bulldogs will face off again on Saturday night.

"Why Was I Born in Russia" was selected for inclusion in "DIY: Photographers & Books" exhibition curated by Barbara Tannenbaum, Curator of Photography at The Cleveland Museum of Art (August 11 - December 30, 2012).
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
With "Why was I born in Russia" photographer Yury Toroptsov invites viewers to follow him on a trip to his native region of Vladivostok in the Far Eastern Russia. The book contains three sections: myth, reality and fiction and features the following photo series (1) Grodekovo (2) The House of Baba Yaga (3) Dora.
Born in 1974 in a small rural community near Vladivostok, Yury Toroptsov left his native Russia to study at the New School for Social Research in New York after having won a prestigious scholarship. Nourished by his Far-Eastern origins, American travels and the current residence in Europe, Yury Toroptsov keeps at the core of his work what constitutes a common denominator for those distant cultures: people and their identity and the permanence of myths. Memories, metamorphosis, profane and sacred are the recurring themes in his photographs. Lives and works in Paris.

This simple staple, made from dried corn kernels that have been ground into meal, comes in a number of variations. The first, texture, depends on how well the corn kernels are ground; cornmeal can come in fine, medium, or coarse grind. The second, color, depends on the type of corn used; cornmeal can be yellow, white, or blue.
The last variation is the method of grinding: it can be traditional water-ground (also called stone-ground) or the more modern steel-ground. In water-ground cornmeal, water is used to power the rotation of the mill's stone wheels. This method does not entirely eliminate the corn's hull and germ; this makes water-ground cornmeal the more nutritious choice because it retains more fiber and other nutrients, but a higher fat content also means it will spoil faster than steel-ground. Water-ground cornmeal should be stored in the refrigerator for up to four months. Steel-ground cornmeal is ground on steel rollers that almost entirely eliminate the husk and germ; without the fat-containing germ, steel-ground cornmeal will keep almost indefinitely in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Usually, water-ground or stone-ground cornmeal will be labeled as such; unlabeled cornmeal is typically steel-ground.

A rapist left a note of apology on the door of a woman he attacked in her apartment, police say. According to The Columbian, 33-year-old Cruz Bonilla broke into a 39-year-old Oregon woman's apartment in the town of Beaverton, and sexually assaulted and sodomized her.
In a police affidavit obtained by KATU, the sexual assault victim told police that she found the note on her door with an apology and a phone number where she could contact him. The rapist also encouraged the woman to contact police. The apology note, which was written in broken English stated the following: "I hope you don't hate me (phone number inside) if you wants and send me to jail please," Bonilla told his victim.
The assault victim told investigators that she was in her apartment at 1:30 a.m., when a man that she had never seen came through the sliding glass door. That's when Cruz Bonilla attacked the woman and sexually assaulted her. The attack occurred on August 15, 2014. Investigators were able to track down Cruz Bonilla in Hillsboro, where they arrested him and charged him with sodomy, first-degree sex abuse and first-degree burglary. He is currently being held in the Washington County Jail.
In a similar case, Arturo Garcia-Torres, was arrested for the rape of a woman in Valparaiso, Indiana, Arturo Garcia-Torres, a Mexican national and illegal immigrant, broke into the victim's apartment and raped her in 2004. During the rape, he apologized to her repeatedly.
Another rapist apologized to his victim in 2006. Court records show that 44-year-old Frankie Dale Crowley raped a 63-year-old elderly woman in her home. The rape victim told cops that a man aggressively entered her home through the front door and hit her in the forehead with a candle holder. He then proceeded to rape and sodomize the woman, according to Central Kentucky News.

So I really wanted to make last year's Figgy Pudding quilt, with the Christmas trees and the courthouse blocks. But since the Figgy Pudding line is tough to find now, I considered making it in this year's Basic Grey line, Fruitcake. But I dunno, Fruitcake just wasn't doing it for me. Which is strange because it's really not all that different from Figgy Pudding. But there's just something about Figgy Pudding that I love, so I decided I needed to track down enough of it for this quilt.
So yes, I always have to give myself that extra challenge. This could have been a perfectly fun, stress-free holiday project. Instead I've spent hundreds of man-hours scouring the entire Internet for the teensiest scrap of "Pepperberry Juniper," before I've even sewn a stitch.
As of two weeks ago, I only needed two more prints: The red tonal damask and the snowflakes on brown background. I couldn't find any trace of either online, and I had all but given up on finding the necessary 4 yards of the brown to use as the background and binding. Then, a bit of serendipity required me to go to my local quilt store to pick up something for another project. And there it was. Rolled up and literally tied with a bow: 3.25 yards of the brown with snowflakes (not quite enough, but I can do the binding in something else). I had looked for it at that store before of course, and it wasn't there at the time. Suddenly it just appeared. Obviously we were meant to be together.
Things like this make me realize that collecting out-of-print fabric is actually kind of fun. That could be a dangerous discovery.

I Found It

I'm having a pretty serious problem right now that I hope someone can help me with. I can't seem to load Windows 7. I just started and set up a dual boot of Windows 7 and Ubuntu. My windows was working fine before installing Ubuntu. However now whenever I select the Windows loader option in the Grub menu it won't work. It will appear like its starting to load but then after a few minutes it will take me to the startup repair screen (I think that's what its called). After several minutes of waiting it says that it can't repair it and suggests using the system repair disc...which I don't have.
I've have searched and tried several different "solutions" to no success. Is there a way I can create a System Repair disc using a USB drive from Ubuntu?? Doesn't seem possible to me.
Or could it be that Grub isn't loading Windows 7 correctly? Is there anyway I can just bypass Grub? Or not use it at all. Maybe what I'm trying to ask is can I boot Windows 7 directly from the BIOS menu or something?
I wish I never had even considered dual booting and should have just stuck to a virtual machine.
Can anyone help??

Before you deposit at Casino Moons (Winward group), ask live chat about their withdrawal terms first! WORST terms ever - 3 deposits required before 1st withdrawal, 1 withdrawal per month per casino, $500 max withdrawal per month for first 6 months, including 1 more deposit at withdrawn account before you can make another withdrawal elsewhere!!! TOTALLY INSANE RULES!
Upon registering to this site, I found myself quite fond of it. But just like most sites out there, they have a good side and a bad side. I found the site to be extremely easy to navigate and I especially like that they offered a detailed tutorial which gave me a good idea of what to expect from the site as well as tips on playing (which I didn't need) but it's definitely a nice addition for new players. Their selection of games isn't too hefty but they do have a broad selection. I mostly play for the slots and one of my favorites at the site, and I think a lot of players' favorites is the lost inca's gold slot. It's a 25- line slot and the bonus rounds are truly a blast. However, and this is a big however, their withdrawal rules kind of stink. Their payouts can take up to 14 days! Plus, there is only one withdrawal allowed per player per week. I found this to be ridiculous and I had to steer away from them because of it. But the games can really be enjoyable.
What first comes to mind is that they accept US players, and the only accepted currency is US Dollar. The weird part being the fact that the interface is available in English, French and Norwegian. This site is using Top Game software, which is a bit unusual and I haven't played many Top Game casinos, if any. You have to download and install the software, and I am not all that thrilled by that.
I did check the withdrawal terms, and yes, only one withdrawal possible per week, and that can take up to 12 business days. What!?
They also have limits on how much you can withdraw at once, and that depends on your VIP level and if you made your cash from deposit or bonus money.
Although the games are good looking and the bonuses look solid, all the terms you have to fulfill just to get your money to your account don't make a good case and I don't believe I will be coming back until they do something about it.
Casino moon casino has been around for many years now. There are a top game software casino. They have many games to play. they have video poker , Keno , craps , roulette , baccarat , pontoon , caribbean poker , video slots , 1 line slots , 3 line slots , 5 line slots , progressive jackpot slots and black jack. after use decide which game you want to play you might want to find out what the playthur is . they offer there new sign ups a no deposit bonus to try out the casino to see if they like it before making a deposit. to get no deposit bonus click on the banner above and download the casino , than register a account. once inside the casino top left hand side look for profile and click it. finish filling out your profile and than inside the chat box ask them for the $10 no deposit bonus for signing up. they will credit you right away. The video slot that i like most is grave grabber , it is a older game but it is alot of fun to play and it has two bonuses. free spins and a bonus game. the free spins come with a multiplier , so if you get some nice hits during the free spins you can win alot. another good game to try is lucky fishing when you hit the bonus round you get to go fishing it is pretty cool. another few are merry bells and transylvania they pay pretty good also. the only problem that i find with top game softwre casinos is that the slots do not seem to keep hitting. mostly after you hit something kinda good it seems to just take it back plus more. every once in awhile the casino will credit your account with a free no deposit bonus. they actually do this a few times a year. even to players who have never made a deposit before. They do have an awesome first time deposit bonus. before you deposit go to live help and tell them. The support team at casino moon is very nice. they have always been very helpful and very nice to me. never had a problem with this casino . i would recommand signing up for a account and taking advantage of the free no deposit bonus they offer , you have nothing to lose.
This casino was another one that disappointed me strongly, but this time it was even more proggresive - usual case is, that a casino offers free spins to everyone, or NDB and in terms stands that your country is restricted, but this case was without the warning, and that negative surprise must did the support with a pack of excuses and classic support phrases. I think that it would be enough just to inform people about this.
This casino is literraly mooning you if you play here. Beside the games are poor and not fun at all, the only good thing they have is the background music, it's kinda relaxing ( the same background music plays also at other TopGame casinos).
Almost forgot, also their live chat help is kinda good because their reaction is kinda fast. thats why the 2 star rating.
once a casino went rogue, they cant be trusted anymore.
Top game has great video slots and keno. Casino Moons use to give out free bonus money every time you turned around, don't see those bonus codes much anymore but I still deposit and play from time to time.
Not soo into this top games ,but registered there so I can use the free chip,actually they dont give free chip,because theirs bonus is not cashable so you need to make deposit before you withdraw.What I find ridiculous at Top games casinos,when they will send free chip or free spins in my eail,those are not free or not cashable ,you may only try theirs games.Ok if i want to play for fun I would do that I dont need all that truble to insert some codes,so I can play for fun !!
There are so many TopGame Rogue casinos, that I don't know, what is what. I joined this one liek the other topgames because of no deposit bonus with huge 99x wagering, offcourse lost it in few minutes. But after Decided to try put my own money ( this happens very rarely, if we talk about TopGame). They matched my deposit instantly and got 40 bucks to play with. So decided to play one of My favourites, Grave Grabbers at 1$ bet size and after few minutes balance growed up to 84 dollars after bonus round received, after that went to play some other slots and was quite close to complete wagering, but slots stopped give and I lost it quickly..
Don't know anything about cashouts, but maybe this one paying without problems? I really hope this way.
By the way, Casino moons Accepting USA players!
Hi iDark,
yes, they accept players from USA. Only following countries are restricted at this casino: Bulgaria, Costa Rica, Denmark, Israel, Poland, Romania, Ukraine.
I joined Casino Moons because they offered a no deposit bonus, at this time I played the Bingo slot and Beauty Salon and a few others I cannot recall their exact names, but I never won off the no deposit bonus, I havent gone back yet, I am not sure if I will, I do like the newer games they brought in,
This casino is not a favorite at all, id rather be on the moon before I play here again, lame customer support and never have any no deposit bonuses to offer. They have no tournaments here at all but I will say this that they do have my favorite game of all time "Lucky Day At The Races". I am giving this casino a 3 star rating regardless.
Casino Moons have great site and great look like the most Top Game casino. Graphics is great they games runs fluid without any bugs and errors and from that side this casino is great. But for me all top game casinos have a little boring games. Their slots are just not attractive to me like for example net ent slots or rival slots and I have problem finding game which I like on this casino.
Casino Moons an Topgame casino, most of people are known with bad service's from topgame casino's , or very slow payments, and too much useless promotions, and for sure those no deposit bonuses they always offer, it's not possible to cashout anything, they keep telling me this always on livechat, there games pay out very very bad on low stakes, i knew this long time ago already, they have some games 1 or 2 who pay good on small stakes, this game looks like the famous Book of ra slot, i forgot they name of it but that game can pay very good! support here at moons, is also spamming to much with promotions, that have weird bonus rules, please keep that i mind before taking this bonus because i made this mistake also few times.
i registered there so I can use the free chip, i recieved email from them about free chip wich is actually they dont give free chip,because theirs bonus is not cashable so you need to make deposit before you withdraw
well another top game casino with more generous free chips and even without making a deposit your account will often be credited with yet another no deposit bonus, this is all good and well and very generous of the casino and especially a great way to for the player to get familiar with the games and with a touch of luck hopefully succeed in a fast and fair withdrawal which is not common place amongst the rival casino sadly, i personally have never managed to wager a no deposit bonus here or any rival casino and it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth but not being a fan of the games or the spam i never deposit and when one day i do it will only be to claim the profits from the no deposit free chip they throwing in my account
I was liking the games here when I won but it seems the withdrawal terms and conditions are hard to meet.
Just like all of the other top bet software casinos except I think the customer service exceeded a few of the other casinos with similar software
I don't know about you guys, but after reading the reviews and taking a good look at the software and the casino I'd say this one borders on road just simply for the fact that the withdrawal conditions are nearly impossible to meet and are actually quite abrasive in my opinion I don't think I'll be giving any money to casino moons ever.
I joined this casino about six years ago and enjoyed playing there without any problems. Finally, when I had a chance to withdrawal it was the biggest nightmare you could imagine. No responses to my emails inquiring about the withdrawal, nothing! After a week of badgering to get some type of response I was locked out of my account. No explanation, no reason, nothing. Pretty much after that I stopped playing at most of their sister casinos.
I registered with this casino some time ago (just over a year ago) as i was attracted by the look of this casino. I really liked the name selected and the design of it all. They recently add a few new games which i feel is a big improvement to the slots they were offering before. They are a bit more exciting to play. They offered me a nice free chip when i opened my account and often offer me additional free stuff to keep me active and playing. The only issue is i have never been able to wager the bonuses and fins it difficult to win on any of their slots. Because of this im very scared to continue playing at this casino. I have also not heard that much about them. I will keep my account open but not sure i will continue playing here for now.
i like it here it was cool while it lasted hopefully it can fix the little niknaks but other than they letting me play with a free no deposit bonus.... they are really nice here with there promo and deposit option.... they updated there games.......and winning is the only thing you need to do is keep on going up instead of out........
I have been a member here for a long long time. I do not remember depositing here and I doubt I will be in the future. No special games or stuff here and everything seems tired. The support is subpar and the entire experience is a 5 or nothing to remember. Hope these places get with the times soon. 1 star for you.
What we have here...oh,it's another Top Game casino!:))) And once again i must give just half of a star:)
As always i can say actually the same about any topgame casino. No deposit bonus is fun and kind thing and it's always is added on account without problem but to withdraw money from it is impossible here. Welcome bonus for the first deposit is huge and wagering requirements are not very high but i am in big doubt that after wagering they will not find some strange mistakes you have made in wagering process. And withdrawals as always are slow. So,people, dont waste your time at top game casinos.

Art Investment News editor and publisher Paul Ben-Itzak, who has also written for Reuters, the New York Times, and many others and also publishes the Dance Insider & Arts Voyager, is looking for work in France, where he lived and worked for 10 years. He is ready to include his magazines in any deal. Interested parties can e-mail Paul.
Art Investment News Gallery, 12-5: From collector to collection
An American Panorama at the Amon Carter
By Paul Ben-Itzak
Text copyright 2012 Paul Ben-Itzak
FORT WORTH, Texas -- Once upon a time a newspaper man named Amon Carter followed the recommendation of his friend Will Rogers, the great American humorist, philosopher, and actor, and spent about $5,000 on a couple of canvasses by the "cowboy artist" Charles M. Russell. He built his Russell (and Frederic Remington) collection until, by the time of his death, he was able to bequeath it to found the museum which for the past 51 years has born his name and which, by his decree, is always free, because Carter wanted children to have the advantages he didn't. The museum did not rest on its rawhide laurels, but grew up to be the greatest museum of American art in the world, in both its curatorial savvy and collecting prescience. It chose Stuart Davis as the one artist it was important to represent in all phases of his career, which, following the trajectory of art in the 20th century, took him from the stark literalism of the "ashcan" school to the wildest reaches of abstraction, never losing sight of reality. And, unlike so many museums which follow collecting trends, the Amon Carter anticipated at least one. Starting in the 1960s, it built a photography collection which dwarfs even that of the Museum of Modern Art.
It's been a while since we've caught up with the Amon Carter, so busy has the auction season been. So we're taking advantage of a breather in art sales to continue your -- and our -- ongoing arts education, always with a view to making us all better informed art investors, to offer this update in images of current and upcoming exhibitions at my favorite museum. Herewith you'll find images of work from the current exhibition "To see as artists see: American Art from the Phillips Collection," on view through January 6; "Marie Cosindas: Instant Color," running March 5 through May 26, 2013; "Big Pictures," on view March 5 - April 21; "Romaire Bearden: A Black Odyssey," May 18 - August 11; and "Larry Sultan's Homeland," closing January 13.

Who would've thought to use an old book as the base for a beautiful floral arrangement that's so easy to make and so gorgeous to look at? Well it seems that Stephanie Schur of Bontany Flowers has. This arrangement makes the perfect last minute D.I.Y Valentine's Day gift and can be customized any way you like with your favorite flowers and greenery. For a long lasting arrangement you can always use artificial flowers too. Here's the how to!
Find an old book that you feel comfortable cutting into (preferably a book of love or love poems for Valentine's Day or a favorite book you share in common).
Open the book and trace a square on the top page, leaving about an inch border all around.
Using an X-Acto knife, press firmly to cut out the pages within the square. Try to cut out as many pages as possible.
Line the inside area with sturdy plastic and place a piece of flower foam or moss inside to keep the flowers in place.
Begin placing the flowers. According to Stephanie Schur of Botany Flowers she suggests using flowers that are full and overflowing with lots of movement and light.
Add moss around the edges to cover up any exposed stems and to give your arrangement a polished look.
And that's it...you're all done and have created a beautiful arrangement that's total unique and made with love!

Olympic curling competitions have begun at the Winter Olympics. One of the few sports that never seems to get enough exposure, Olympic Curling hasn't always been at the top of America's list to watch for sports. According to SBNation on Monday, the Olympic Curling for Team USA begins their competitions in hopes to win the gold. The world will be watch as the games begin with the sliding of curling stones down the slippery ice while athletes guide the stones into position.
Let's all be honest, Olympic Curling won't be heavily broadcast on NBC's prime time schedule because America isn't as excited about the sport as other sports like figure skating or skiing. Yet, the intensity of this sport has the curling athletes taking the ice and looking extremely passionate. It's impossible to miss the facial tension.
Ever since the Olympic Curling began in Sochi the pictures of the men and women focusing on their sports have been coming out of Russia in a steady stream. Focusing on the curling stones and ready to win gold is a look of a champion. The Olympic athletes are so focused they don't even know the cameras are taking pictures for the fans and the facial expressions of the athletes are priceless.
Of course let's not forget that the facial expressions are not the only thing viewers get to see watching these Olympic athletes. There is the issue of those crazy pants. In 2014 several teams have decided to make their mark with wild designs and fans are tuning in to see what fashion might be found.
Whether it is the faces or the pants that draw viewers to the ice, the Olympic sport of curling definitely needs more exposure. Take a look at the photo slideshow of the Olympic athlete's expressions and tune in to support Team USA during Olympic Curling.
