Yardy steers Sussex home
Sussex maintained the pressure on Group A leaders Somerset with an entertaining Clydesdale Bank 40 win over Lancashire at Old Trafford.
The Sharks won for the second consecutive match as they chased down 245 with four wickets and four balls to spare.
Lancashire's chances of reaching the semi-finals are all but over after losing five of their eight matches.
With Andrew Flintoff in the home dressing room, the hosts were indebted to 69 off 73 balls from captain Paul Horton, which included five fours, and Kyle Hogg's unbeaten 36 not 30 balls as they posted a competitive 244 for seven.
James Kirtley took 3-35 from seven overs for the visitors while Michael Yardy, Monty Panesar and Ollie Rayner also struck.
Joe Gatting hit a season's best 71 off 82 balls for Sussex in reply but it took a fifth-wicket partnership of 44 between Yardy and Andrew Hodd to take their side to the brink.
Captain Yardy, who finished 46 not out off 50 balls, hit the winning runs off Sajid Mahmood in the final over.
Gareth Cross and Horton shared Lancashire's highest partnership, 40 for the fourth wicket, but the hosts lost wickets at regular intervals on a placid track.
Tom Smith hit a solid 34 off 38 balls at the top of the order before Hogg struck three fours and one six late on. He and Stephen Parry added 33 off the last 21 balls, the former doing the bulk of the scoring.
Sussex openers Ed Joyce and Chris Nash got the chase off to a flyer as they took advantage of some wayward bowling from Daren Powell with the new ball.
The former West Indies fast bowler went for 10 off his first two balls, Nash doing the damage, and his first two overs went for 23.
Nash, however, fell in the third over when he holed out to Karl Brown at deep square-leg off Hogg.
Joyce and Gatting continued the momentum with a second-wicket stand of 63 inside 13 overs. They helped their side to 80 for one after the 12 overs of powerplay, but when Joyce departed in the 15th over Lancashire started to sniff victory.
He dragged the left-arm spin of Parry on to middle stump to depart for 46 before Murray Goodwin chipped to a diving Horton at short cover six overs later.
When Gatting was trapped lbw by Gary Keedy, Sussex were 174 for four in the 30th over, needing 70 off the last 10.
Smith took two late wickets to keep the Lightning interested, including Hodd for 30 off 27 balls, but Yardy's three fours and a six were vital.
Parry and Smith finished with 2-37 off eight overs and 2-30 off four respectively.
Sussex moved to within two points of Somerset after eight matches but have played two more than their rivals.
Hogg, Smith and Steven Croft were awarded their county caps by Lancashire chairman Michael Cairns before the game.

I installed word press through the set up provided by my hosting server and everything went fine and dandy. Because I've never used WordPress and I am new to blogging, I was looking through the settings within the blog after it was installed. Last I remember, I was looking at the Manage-Files tab, changed some text in one of the header sheet, trying to make it smaller, and next thing I know, something is totally messed up. See it for yourself at http://www.musicbasix.com/blog.
I saved the blog page to my desktop, and instead of having a stylesheet saved, I got an a file named 'a'???
Any help out there?!

My guide met me at 7:20 am and although he spoke English he was kind enough to speak Portuguese to me as I requested. The tour to Canoa Quebrada was unbelievable! The dune buggy and horse rides were great. The beach and food at the facility were top notch. I would highly recommend this tour and company. Both were first class.
Doing what: Canoa Quebrada from Fortaleza
I was charged much higher due to my online booking. The tour was supposed to be operated by an englich speaking guide. But the guide conducted the tour in Portugese. Although the guide was very helpful and tried to tell me about some of the landmarks in English, I felt cheated as they promised the tour will be in English during my booking.
Doing what: Lagoinha Beach from Fortaleza
Tried calling and emailing the company, but could not get them, therefore did not get to go.

Community-based services and resources: The significance of choice and diversity

We are reminded by the growth of consumer-run approaches of the value of diversity and individual choice in community support of persons with severe mental illness. These ideas are evident in the alternative approaches that have been developed to serve persons who have not been reached by more traditional services. The ACT program, described by Bond et al. (1990), is an example of a service approach designed to be responsive to individuals' day-to-day needs as they define them. Continued development of this type of alternative service should be encouraged.
Persons coping with severe mental illness benefit from a variety of community supports and resources. Strategies that encourage consumer involvement, ownership, and control help to provide diversity of services and to empower the consumer. Our efforts, as professionals, to provide community services can be enhanced by (a) supporting diversity of service and resource options, both inside and outside of the professional mental health system; (b) developing services that are responsive to individuals needs as they define them; and (c) facilitating the process of consumer choice in selecting resources options.

There's just not enough emphasis on the spanking here to really satisfy fans of the fetish, and it's definitely not presented with a fetish theme. The fact that there are only three scenes doesn't help things, even though two of them are good.
Monique and Julie Night share a good anal lesbo tryst where they just bang the hell out of each other's asses. Both girls cum repeatedly, which is hot, but the scene could have benefited from tighter editing. Victoria Sin gets d.p.'d poolside by Sledge Hammer and AVN Hall of Famer Dave Hardman.

text: A few guys rush into a bar and order 4 Carlton Draughts, dropping the duffle bag they brought in on the floor. The bag opens revealing the massive amount of money stored within. The bartender sneaks a peek at the contents of bag as he pours the four men their beer. He hands the men their now full glasses, they raise them for a toast, and the bartender gently clears his throat as if to direct attention to the other side of the bar. They all turn their heads to find the entire bar if full or police officers. We are led to assume the four men have committed quite the heist as they quickly dash out of the bar, Carlton Draught beers in hand. They look at the car, decide it's not the best idea to drive, and run off with the cops right on their tails. The rest of the commercial is watching these men, and the cops, running after each other, pretending that they are actually driving vehicles in an epic car chase. The chase ends when the four men try to jump a raising bridge, and land on a passing boat to freedom. Amazed they got away, they stride up to the bar on deck, and finish the beers they started.

As a jazz journalist every once in while you stumble upon a nice surprise, a young musician that let's you know that jazz is alive and well. Rochester born, now living in New York City, trumpet player Mike Cottone is one of this year pleasant surprises.

Ingenious compositions that have elements of bebop, cool jazz, hardbop and smooth jazz.
Just Remember close with excellent interpretations of the swinging Freddie Hubbard classic "Dear John" and the Hoagy Carmichael ballad"Stardust".
Musicians: Mike Cottone - trumpet, flugelhorn, Jeremy Viner - tenor saxophone, Kris Bowers - piano, Paul Sikivie - bass, Jared Schonig - drums, Ulysses Owens Jr. - drums (2,3,6,7)
Tracks: Just Remember, Selah, Old Blue, Slow Down, Gyroscope, Sloppin, I'm Sure, When Sunny gets Blue, Dear John, Stardust

If you want to write fan fiction based on my KotOR III story...
Go on right ahead. My story is linked in my signature. A couple members on that site said that they'd like to see fan fiction based off it, but the thing is... I ain't doing it, I suck at it. It's like how Lucas has great ideas, but we all saw what happened with the prequels when he did the directing and screenplays himself...
1) Don't compare yourself to Lucas.
2) Don't just say here is my story and post a link; we won't go to it.
3)You may not be that good of a writer, but don't assume those who are somewhat competent will take up your story.
This thread is a waste of time, and so is my reply. I'm just posting because I am bored. And to let you know that if you want to get noticed as a storyteller around here (if you write or not) you went about it the wrong way. Ohhh-kay? Cool.
Oh and one last thing, what the hell did you write if not Fanfiction? It's about Kotor III, you're a fan, and its a story. Ergo, it be fanfiction, mate. Just sayin'....
1) I'm not saying my ideas are Lucas good, but I think they're good and I don't give a **** if being proud of my work makes me come across as arrogant. I meant I was like Lucas in the sense that I'm not good at executing my ideas into some kind of screenplay or fan fiction well.
2 & 3) You won't, but you don't speak for everyone else. I'm not forcing anyone to do anything, nor am I assuming anyone will do anything with it. But I'll never know unless I give people a chance to at least look at what I've done. That's why I said *if* you want to...
I wrote what I'd do for a story if another KotOR game came out. It's just an outline of my plot, no dialogue or specifics about party members and what not.

Coast Guard's Allen Says He Trusts BP in Spill Effort
U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Thad Allen said he trusts BP Plc's chief executive officer as the company and government prepare their latest effort to stop the oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico from a damaged BP well.
The government is keeping a close watch over BP's response to the oil spill, Allen said today on CNN's "State of the Union." When U.S. officials give BP Chief Executive Officer Tony Hayward directions on problems, logistics or coordination, they get a prompt reply, he said.
"I trust Tony Hayward," Allen said. "When I talk to him, I get an answer."
U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar took a tougher line after visiting with the scientific team working on plugging the well at BP's Houston offices today. "Since the incident began, I promised that we would keep our boot on BP's neck and in the past few weeks we have absolutely been doing that," he said.
"I am angry and I am frustrated that BP has been unable to stop this well from leaking and to stop the pollution from spreading," Salazar said. "We are 33 days into this effort, and deadline after deadline has been missed."
BP, based in London, said it will likely begin by early May 26 local time to try to plug the well by pumping it full of heavy drilling mud, a method it calls "top kill." The method has been successful in wells on land, but has never been tried under these circumstances, where the well is leaking a mile deep under water.
Captured Oil
As it prepares its top kill effort, BP continues to divert some of the leaking crude to a ship using a mile-long pipe. BP captured about 1,360 barrels of oil yesterday, down from 2,200 barrels May 21, said John Curry, a company spokesman. The company has captured an average of about 2,010 barrels of oil a day since May 17, Mark Salt, a company spokesman, said in an interview today.
BP's well was damaged in an April 20 explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig that killed 11 workers.
Allen, of the Coast Guard, said on CNN that the leaking well has become a "very large, complicated spill." Officials are concerned about oil washing ashore around Port Fourchon in Louisiana, he said, and tar balls showing up as far east as Alabama and Mississippi.
Allen said responders are "fighting a multi-front war." Also today, investigators asked Gulf residents to look for debris from the Deepwater Horizon rig that might wash up on shore and be useful in examining the accident.
Official Oversight
Three of President Barack Obama's top officials plan to be in the Gulf Coast region this week, including Salazar, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Obama yesterday named Democrat Bob Graham, a former Florida governor, and Republican William Reilly, a former EPA administrator, to lead a commission to investigate the spill.
Salazar said BP is responsible for such activities as stopping the well and keeping oil from coming ashore.
"If we find that they're not doing what they're supposed to be doing, we'll push them out of the way appropriately and we'll move forward to make sure that everything is being done to protect the people of the Gulf Coast, the ecological values of the Gulf Coast and the values of the American people," he said.
'Top Kill' Preparations
Drilling rigs and remote-operated vehicles are being positioned for the top kill attempt, Doug Suttles, BP's chief operating officer for exploration and production, said at a May 21 news conference in Louisiana.
"This is a really complex operation, it involves several complex procedures coming together," BP's Salt said today in a telephone interview. "We continue with planning, preps, getting stuff on site, getting stuff on the sea bed, on the surface, testing things."
The procedure is intended to stop the flow and allow the well to be sealed with cement, Suttles said. The well is about 5,000 feet (1,524 meters) below the water's surface.
If the top kill method fails to halt the spill, BP has "a series of activities" to try, BP Managing Director Robert Dudley said today, also on CNN's "State of the Union." He said another containment device could be put over the leak to recover oil until a relief well is ready in August. Dudley called the spill "catastrophic" for Gulf Coast residents and the company.
A team of government and academic scientists may report this week how much oil is leaking from the well, after independent scientists told Congress the crude was coming out at more than 10 times the 5,000-barrel-a-day estimate BP and the government have given since April 28.
'Best Estimate'
BP says the 5,000 barrel-a-day rate remains the "best estimate" so far of the amount coming from the well.
The company also has been using Nalco Holding Co.'s Corexit oil dispersant to break the oil into small droplets that may eventually be digested by microbes. About 785,000 gallons of dispersant have been deployed in the region, according to BP and government officials' Unified Command.

I`ve spent 3 nights in the Novotel Toronto centre in december 2012. This was my second time in the hotel. I`ve returned because I really liked it`s installations and confort. I really recomend this hotel but a smal problem occurred to me. I`ve had a reservation in ``pay-upon-booking``way but at the end of my stay they`ve recharged my credit card. Hotel staffs were not very kind but Accor Brazil and USA centers solved my problem. I believe that it was an acciental problem that was solved by Accord central. I advise all tourists to allways check credit card facture, to keep all receipts and to immediatly contact Accor staffs in case of any problem.
By the way hotel localization and facilities are perfect, cleaning and confort are really good too.

Arrange a break from caring
Caring for someone can be very demanding and it's important for you to have a break from your caring role
- Emergency help
Carers often worry about what will happen if, at short notice, they are unable to care.
The Princess Royal Trust for Carers in Hampshire will help you to discuss, develop and implement your own emergency plan so that you can arrange care at short notice.
Once your Emergency Plan has been completed and signed it is backed up by:
a 24-hour telephone line 0845 604 1577
information about other services available
and up to 48 hours of care services free of charge in the event of an emergency
Carer's emergency card
This card, which includes emergency contact numbers, should be carried in your bag or wallet. In the event of an accident, this would help alert police officers, the ambulance service or other emergency response staff to the fact that there is also someone else in need of help.
Complete and print a copy of the carer's emergency card now.
- Finding help yourself
There are many organisations that offer short break services that will allow you to have time to yourself, even if it's just for an hour or so. Or you could ask friends and family to help.
Good neighbour groups
The Good Neighbours Support Service provides information, guidance, development and support to over 100 independent voluntary groups in Hampshire, enabling them to provide a dependable and trustworthy service. The groups offer neighbourly help to people in their local communities, enabling people to stay independent in their own homes and helping to prevent isolation.
Some good neighbour groups may be able to help in an emergency.
Friends and family
Ask if friends and family can help you.
Care at home
If you need a short break during the day, use our care at home search to find providers who offer a 'sitting service'. You can also search for live-in help to allow you to go away (overnight or for a longer break or holiday).
Local care homes
Many care homes offer short stay care if you need a break. Use our care homes search and select 'Short stay (respite) under admissions. You can also enquire at care homes near to you if they offer informal day care for non-residents.
If the person you look after needs special care whilst on holiday, due to disability or other conditions, there are specialist care holiday organisations. For information, visit the social and leisure activities page.
- Help from Adult Services
Take a Break Service
The Take a Break Service can only be accessed via Adult Services through a carer's assessment and is provided, under contract, by a range of providers throughout Hampshire.
This service gives carers the opportunity to have regular short breaks from caring and also gives the cared for person the chance to identify activities and outcomes they would like to achieve.
The service offers:
flexibility - carers can book their breaks when it suits them, a few regular hours off each week or save the hours they have been allocated for a slightly longer break
personalised care - before the service starts the care provider will arrange to visit to discuss what support they need to provide to the cared for person whilst the carer is out
access to the community - during the break the cared for person can be supported to go out to attend clubs, go for a walk, visit friends etc
overnight service - as an alternative to daytime breaks, allocated hours can be saved to be used for night time stays. This must be planned in advance and the care provider will arrange for a replacement carer to stay in the home to give the carer the opportunity of an undisturbed night's sleep
reassurance - staff providing the short breaks are specially trained by the care provider and are police checked
The Carers' Take a Break Service 312 kB
Shared Lives Scheme
For those assessed as eligible, Shared Lives offers carers a break from caring by providing short stays with Shared Lives carers in their own homes.
The Shared Lives provides users of the service a permanent home, a short stay, or day care in an ordinary home setting in the community.
Carer's assessment
Request a carer's assessment and discuss your needs as a carer including your need to have a longer term break.

text: Chunghwa Telecom Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Taiwanese telco giant Chunghwa Telecom ( CHT) is in a similar boat right now. It's a staid firm with reduced growth prospects, but it's also a cash generation machine that outpaces the income streams that U.S. communications stocks are paying out by the shovel-full right now. Dividend payouts are like kryptonite for short sellers, and with a dividend yield of 5.73%, it doesn't take much time before shorts see their profits get eroded. Maybe that's why it's so surprising that CHT currently sports a short interest ratio of 19.6. Chunghwa is the dominant Taiwanese mobile, internet and fixed-line carrier, serving a mind-blowing percentage of the population. While market share growth is difficult to achieve at this stage, the firm has found success in boosting its average revenues per user by convincing subscribers to increase their level of service. By boosting the percentage of customers who subscribe to 4G LTE on their cellular phones and high-speed broadband internet at home, CHT can continue to provide meaningful growth for investors. A huge net cash position gives Chunghwa plenty of dry powder to pay for network upgrades and to keep dividend payouts smooth. Given the firm's enormous infrastructure portfolio, CHT's balance sheet is immaculate -- and even though stock performance has been lackluster in the last year, its short interest ratio makes it a potential short squeeze name to watch in 2013.

Nordea, ABN Sell First Unsecured Europe Bank Debt in Month
Nordea Bank AB, the Nordic region's largest lender, joined ABN Amro Bank NV and Rabobank Nederland in selling the first senior unsecured debt in more than a month as European banks in top-rated countries seek to satisfy investor demand for yield.
ABN Amro, which is owned by the Dutch state after a 2008 bailout, and Rabobank, which is graded Aaa at Moody's Investors Service, are helping re-open a market all but closed to European lenders since mid-2011 because of the region's deficit crisis. The Netherlands, like Sweden, where Aa2 rated Nordea is based, holds top grades from the ratings firms.
Investors are shunning senior unsecured debt from lower-ranked banks amid concern their governments may default, bringing down financial systems. That wariness is forcing lenders to turn to secured borrowings, including covered bonds and repurchase agreements, as well as borrowing 489 billion euros ($636 billion) from the European Central Bank for as much as three years in the central bank's longest-ever refinancing operation.
"The banks have got to take advantage of any solidity in the markets because the level of funding they have to do is scary," said Alison Murdoch, a credit strategist at Ria Capital in Edinburgh. "From an investor's perspective, these deals are a steal."
Nordea sold two-year floating-rate notes that were priced to yield 95 basis points more than the benchmark euro interbank offered rate, as well as 4 percent fixed-rate bonds due in July 2019 that priced at 195 basis points over the mid-swap rate, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Rabobank Bonds
Utrecht-based Rabobank's unsecured 10-year bonds were priced to yield 175 basis points more than swaps, according to Bloomberg data. ABN Amro priced 1.25 billion euros of two-year floating-rate notes yielding 150 basis points more than Euribor and 1 billion euros of seven-year bonds with a spread of 275 basis points over swaps.
Spain's Banco Santander SA issued the last benchmark senior unsecured bond in euros on Nov. 24 in an exchange for existing securities, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"The window is basically open for senior unsecured and Rabobank and the Scandinavians are obvious names," said Oliver Judd, a credit analyst at Aviva Investors in London, which manages about $257 billion in fixed-income assets. "The ECB has definitely helped sentiment by showing there's a funding backstop for the banks."
The Netherlands bought Fortis's Dutch banking and insurance units and its stake in ABN Amro Holding NV in 2008 after the company, now named Ageas, ran out of short-term funding. The government plans to sell ABN Amro shares in 2014 at the earliest.

An intelligent community spaces architecture (COMNet), which supports the activation of communities through the application of P2P network technology, is proposed. COMNet can form network communities without requiring a broker. We call this a broker-less model. In this paper, we propose a distributed trust-control technology as one of the component groups of COMNet. This technology is important to the formation of reliable network communities. We propose a few trust algorithms and two types of reputation algorithm using information from other entities as elements of distributed trust-control technology. Copyright © 2004 AEI

Using Intel HD 3000 graphics card, is it possible to combine the bandwidth of a single link DVI-D and HDMI (using an adapter?) and support a monitor with resolution 2560x1600 monitor instead of 2 1920x1200 monitors?
First, the reverse:
A single connector with a dual-link DVI port usually drives a single display. It is not capable of getting split in two and driving two independent low resolution displays.
You can use extra hardware to clone the signal and drive two monitors (with identical contents on the screen) or you can use extra hardware like the (now older) Matrox dualhead2go's
Both options require extra hardware.
However, assuming such hardware exists:
PS: If you do search the web, do not get confused with the DMS59 connector, you can not use that 'reversed' to solve you problem. Even though it looks a lot like DVI.

CASPER, Wyo. (January 23, 2014) An electronic road sign warned motorists of wind gusts of 355 miles per hour or higher, at least until the error was caught, in windy Wyoming.
The Wyoming Department of Transportation says a sign operator working from Cheyenne meant to type "35+" but mistakenly added another 5.
The message was displayed for 17 minutes before the department caught the mistake and corrected it, but the whirlwind on social media lasted longer.
One person posted a photo of the sign with the comment "CASPER WY. WHERE TORNADO ALLEY SEEMS PLEASANTLY BREEZY."

cx_Oracle 5.2 is the first release Oracle has contributed code for (thanks Avinash!) so we're pretty happy all around. And a big thank you to all the other contributors and users who have made this release possible.

 The new code features are:

Support for Oracle Database 12c strings up to 32k characters.

Support for LOB values larger than 4 GB.

Support for Oracle Database 12c array DML row counts.

Support for fetching batch errors.

Support for connections as SYSASM.

Added types NCHAR, FIXED_NCHAR and LONG_NCHAR to replace the types UNICODE, FIXED_UNICODE and LONG_UNICODE (which are now deprecated). These types are available in Python 3 as well so they can be used to specify the use of NCHAR type fields when binding or using setinputsizes().

Support for building without any configuration changes to the machine when using instant client RPMs on Linux.

Fixed session releasing to the pool when calling connection.close() (Issue #2)

Fixed binding of booleans in Python 3.x.

Added __version__ attribute to conform with PEP 396.

Fixed handling of datetime intervals (Issue #7)

The complete release notes are here.
My favorite feature is the installation improvement. (Disclaimer: I contributed the initial implementation!) With this change, Instant Client RPMS on Linux can now be used. The best bit is cx_Oracle will automatically locate Instant Client and will then also automatically build using rpath. The installation of cx_Oracle on Linux is now as simple as installing the Instant Client Basic & SDK RPMs, and running 'pip install cx_Oracle'. No need to set ORACLE_HOME during installation. No need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH at runtime. If you have a Linux ULN support subscription you can install Instant Client via yum, which makes it even simpler.

Users of Database Resident Connection Pooling will like the connection.close() fix since it allows DRCP to be used effectively without requiring a cx_Oracle session pool.

In summary the cx_Oracle 5.2 release adds great features to the already impressive Oracle Database support available to Python applications. Application development and deployment just got better.

 https://blogs.oracle.com/opal/entry/configuring_python_cx_oracle_and Configuring Python cx_Oracle and mod_wsgi on Oracle Linux cj 2014-11-18T05:16:11+00:00 2014-11-25T21:17:47+00:00
The Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI) is a standardized interface between web servers and Python web frameworks or applications. Many frameworks including Django support WSGI.

This post is a brief how-to about configuring Apache's mod_wsgi with Python's cx_Oracle driver for Oracle Database. The steps are for Oracle Linux.

Download Instant Client Basic & SDK ZIP files from OTN. For cx_Oracle 5.1, use the ZIPs, not the RPMs.

As root, unzip the files to the same directory, e.g. /opt/oracle/instantclient_12_1:

 mkdir /opt/oracle cd /opt/oracle unzip /tmp/instantclient-basic-linux.x64-220.127.116.11.0.zip unzip /tmp/instantclient-sdk-linux.x64-220.127.116.11.0.zip

Configure Instant Client:

 cd /opt/oracle/instantclient_12_1 ln -s libclntsh.so.12.1 libclntsh.so

Install the pip package management tool for Python by following pip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installing.html and downloading get-pip.py. Then run:

 python get-pip.py

Install cx_Oracle:

 export LD_RUN_PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient_12_1 export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/instantclient_12_1 pip install cx_Oracle

The key here is the use of LD_RUN_PATH. This obviates the need to later set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or configure ldconfig for cx_Oracle to find the Instant Client libraries. There is a cx_Oracle-specific variable FORCE_RPATH which has the same effect.

Note the cx_Oracle installer overloads the meaning of ORACLE_HOME. This variable is not normally used with Instant Client.

Neither ORACLE_HOME or LD_RUN_PATH need to be set at runtime.

If you don't use LD_RUN_PATH or FORCE_RPATH during installation, you will need to make LD_LIBRARY_PATH available to the Apache process or use ldconfig to add Instant Client to the system wide library search path.

Configuring ldconfig is an effective and commonly used solution. However it has a potential problem that if multiple Oracle products exist, with possibly differing versions of Oracle libraries on the same machine, then there might be library clashes. If you wish to use it, create a file /etc/ld.conf.so.d/oracle-instant-client.conf containing:

 /opt/oracle/instantclient_12_1

Then update the linker cache by running:

ldconfig

Alternatively set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in Apache's environment file, /etc/sysconfig/httpd. In Oracle Linux 6 use:

 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient_12_1

In Oracle Linux 7 use:

 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient_12_1

In Oracle Linux 7, don't reference variables on the right-hand side of the equals sign since they won't be expanded.

[The Apache environment configuration file location varies between Linux distributions. On OpenSUSE see /etc/sysconfig/apache2. On Debian-based distributions look at /etc/apache2/envvars].

Set any other Oracle environment variables in the Apache environment configuration file /etc/sysconfig/httpd. For example:

 NLS_LANG=GERMAN_GERMANY.AL32UTF8

(Prefix any variable setting with export in Oracle Linux 6)

Install mod_wsgi:

 yum install mod_wsgi

Add this line to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

 WSGIScriptAlias /wsgi_test /var/www/html/wsgi_test.py

On Oracle Linux 6, start the web server with:

 service httpd start

On Oracle Linux 7 use:

 systemctl start httpd.service

Create a test file /var/www/html/wsgi_test.py that connects to your database:

 #-*- coding: utf-8 -*- def query(): import cx_Oracle db = cx_Oracle.connect("hr", "welcome", "localhost/orcl") cursor = db.cursor() cursor.execute("select city from locations where location_id = 2200") return cursor.fetchone()[0] def wsgi_test(environ, start_response): output = query() status = '200 OK' headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain'), ('Content-Length', str(len(output)))] start_response(status, headers) yield output application = wsgi_test

Load http://localhost/wsgi_test in a browser. The city of the queried location id will be displayed.

That's it. Let me know how it works for you.

 https://blogs.oracle.com/opal/entry/python_cx_oracle_and_oracle Python cx_Oracle and Oracle 11g DRCP Connection Pooling cj 2013-03-21T23:18:48+00:00 2014-08-08T19:04:19+00:00
The topic of Oracle 11g DRCP connection pooling in Python cx_Oracle came up twice this week for me. DRCP is a database tier connection pooling solution which is great for applications run in multiple processes. There is a whitepaper on DRCP that covers a lot of background and talks about configuration. This whitepaper is ostensibly about PHP but is good reading for all DRCP users.

The first DRCP and cx_Oracle scenario I dealt with was a question about mod_python.

To cut a long story short, I created a handler and requested it 1000 times via Apache's 'ab' tool. In my first script, and despite having increased the default pool parameters, there were a high number of NUM_WAITS. Also NUM_AUTHENTICATIONS was high. Performance wasn't the best. Querying V$CPOOL_CC_STATS showed:

 CCLASS_NAME NUM_REQUESTS NUM_HITS NUM_MISSES NUM_WAITS NUM_AUTHENTICATIONS ------------ ------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- ------------------- HR.CJDEMO1 1000 992 8 478 1000

At least the session information in each DRCP server was reused (shown via a high NUM_HITS).

Results were better after fixing the script <tt>mptest.py</tt> to look like:

from mod_python import apache import cx_Oracle import datetime # mptest.py # Example: Oracle 11g DRCP with cx_Oracle and mod_python # These pool params are suitable for Apache Pre-fork MPM mypool = cx_Oracle.SessionPool(user='hr', password='welcome', dsn='localhost/orcl:pooled', min=1, max=2, increment=1) def handler(req): global mypool req.content_type = 'text/html' n = datetime.datetime.now() req.write (str(n) + "
"); db = cx_Oracle.connect(user='hr', password='welcome', dsn='localhost/orcl:pooled', pool=mypool, cclass="CJDEMO1", purity=cx_Oracle.ATTR_PURITY_SELF) cur = db.cursor() cur.execute('select * from locations') resultset = cur.fetchall() for result in resultset: for item in result: req.write (str(item) + " ") req.write ("
") cur.close() mypool.release(db) return apache.OK

The 'ab' benchmark on this script ran much faster and the stats from V$CPOOL_CC_STATS looked much better. The number of authentications was right down about to about 1 per Apache (ie. mod_python) process:

 CCLASS_NAME NUM_REQUESTS NUM_HITS NUM_MISSES NUM_WAITS NUM_AUTHENTICATIONS ------------ ------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- ------------------- HR.CJDEMO1 1000 977 23 13 26

The NUM_HITS was high again, because the DRCP purity was ATTR_PURITY_SELF. If I hadn't wanted session information to be reused each time the handler was executed, I could have set the purity to ATTR_PURITY_NEW. If I'd done this then NUM_HITS would have been low and NUM_MISSES would have been high.

If you're testing this yourself, before restarting the DRCP pool don't forget to shutdown Apache to close all DB connections. Otherwise restarting the pool will block. Also, if you're interpreting your own V$CPOOL_CC_STATS stats don't forget to account for the DRCP "dedicated optimization" that retains an association between clients (mod_python processes) and the DB. The whitepaper previously mentioned discusses this.

The second place where DRCP and python came up this week was on the cx_Oracle mail list. David Stanek posed a question. He was seeing application processes blocking while waiting for a DRCP pooled server to execute a query. My variant of David's script is <tt>drcp2.py</tt>:

 import os import time import cx_Oracle # drcp2.py # Example: Sub-optimal connection pooling with Oracle 11g DRCP and cx_Oracle def do_connection(): print 'Starting do_connection ' + str(os.getpid()) con = cx_Oracle.connect(user=user, password=pw, dsn=dsn, cclass="CJDEMO2", purity=cx_Oracle.ATTR_PURITY_SELF) cur = con.cursor() print 'Querying ' + str(os.getpid()) cur.execute("select to_char(systimestamp) from dual") print cur.fetchall() cur.close() con.close() print 'Sleeping ' + str(os.getpid()) time.sleep(30) print 'Finishing do_connection ' + str(os.getpid()) user = 'hr' pw = 'welcome' dsn = 'localhost/orcl:pooled' for x in range(100): pid = os.fork() if not pid: do_connection() os._exit(0)

This script forks off a bunch of processes - more than the number of pooled DRCP servers (see MAXSIZE in the DBA_CPOOL_INFO view). The first few processes grab a DRCP server from the pool and do their query. But they don't release the DRCP server back to the DRCP pool until after the sleep() when the process ends. The other forked processes are blocked waiting for those DRCP servers to become available. This isn't optimal pool sharing.

My suggestion was to use an explicit cx_Oracle session pool like <tt>drcp3.py</tt>:

 import os import time import cx_Oracle # drcp3.py # Example: Connection pooling with Oracle 11g DRCP and cx_Oracle def do_connection(): print 'Starting do_connection ' + str(os.getpid()) mypool = cx_Oracle.SessionPool(user=user,password=pw,dsn=dsn,min=1,max=2,increment=1) con = cx_Oracle.connect(user=user, password=pw, dsn=dsn, pool = mypool, cclass="CJDEMO3", purity=cx_Oracle.ATTR_PURITY_SELF) cur = con.cursor() print 'Querying ' + str(os.getpid()) cur.execute("select to_char(systimestamp) from dual") print cur.fetchall() cur.close() mypool.release(con) print 'Sleeping ' + str(os.getpid()) time.sleep(30) print 'Finishing do_connection ' + str(os.getpid()) user = 'hr' pw = 'welcome' dsn = 'localhost/orcl:pooled' for x in range(100): pid = os.fork() if not pid: do_connection() os._exit(0)

The mypool.release(con) call releases the DRCP server back to the DRCP pool prior to the sleep. When this second script is run, there is a smoothness to the output. The queries happen sequentially without noticeably being blocked.

Like with any shared resource, it is recommended to release DRCP pooled servers back to the pool when they are no longer needed by the application.

Update August 2014: Oracle submitted a cx_Oracle patch which Anthony has merged but not yet released. This patch now allows <tt>drcp2.py</tt> to work efficiently. For the fork scenario the non-explicit session pool solution in <tt>drcp2.py</tt> is likely to be better than <tt>drcp3.py</tt>, since it does fewer DRCP requests. For the mod_python example, continuing to use a session pool as shown in <tt>mptest.py</tt> can minimize the number of authentications, which helps scalability.

Silver Lake College absolutely prohibits the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students on its property or as part of any of its activities.
In addition, students are strictly prohibited from being under the influence of alcohol or drugs while representing Silver Lake College, whether on the premises or not.
"Illegal Drugs" are defined for the purposes of this policy as any drug that is either not legally obtained or is legally obtainable, but has not been legally obtained. The term includes prescribed drugs not legally obtained, prescribed drugs not being used for prescribed purposes, prescribed drugs being used by a person other than the prescription holder. Legally prescribed medications are not covered under this policy and are permitted to the extent that their use does not adversely affect the employee or enrollee's work ability, job performance, or the safety of others at the College.
This policy does not apply if the illegal drug is prescribed by a medical practitioner or authorized for the employee or student possessing or using it while acting in the course of his/her professional practice. The legal drug must be used by the employee or student at the prescribed or authorized dosage level, and such level is consistent with the safe performance of the employee or student's duties.
This policy shall be annually distributed in writing to Silver Lake College students. The written policy for students will be included in the yearly fall distribution of the Student Handbook.
The laws of Wisconsin prohibit drug possession and delivery through the Uniform Controlled Substances Act, Wis. Stats. 161, and mandate stiff penalties that include up to 15 years in prison and fines up to $500,000. A person with a first-time conviction of possession of a controlled substance can be sentenced up to one year in prison and fined up to $5,000. Wis. Stats. 161.41 (2r) (b). The penalties vary according to the amount of drug confiscated, the type of drug found, the number of previous offenses by the individual and whether the individual intended to manufacture the drug, sell the drug or use the drug. See Wis. Stats. 161.41. In addition to the stringent penalties for possession or delivery, the sentences can be doubled when exacerbating factors are present, such as when a person distributes a controlled substance to a minor, Wis. Stats. 161.46 (1).
Substantial restrictions against alcohol abuse also exist in Wisconsin. It is against the law to sell alcohol to anyone who has not reached the legal drinking age of 21 and there is a concurrent duty on the part of an adult to prevent the illegal consumption of alcohol on his premises, Wis. Stats. 125.07 (1) (a) (1). Violation of this statute can result in a $500 fine. It is against the law for an underage person to attempt to buy an alcoholic beverage, falsely represent his or her age, or enter a licensed premise. Offenders can be fined $500, ordered to participate in a supervised work program, and have their driver's license suspended, Wis. Stats. 125.07 (4) (3). Harsher penalties exist for the retailers of alcoholic beverages, including up to 90 days in jail and revocation of their retail liquor permit.
The federal government has recently revised the penalties against drug possession and trafficking through its Federal Sentencing Guidelines that reduce the discretion that federal judges may use in sentencing offenders of federal drug statutes. Under these guidelines, courts can sentence a person for up to 6 years for unlawful possession of a controlled substance, including the distribution of a small amount (less than 250 grams) of marijuana. A sentence of life imprisonment can result from a conviction of possession of a controlled substance that results in death or bodily injury. Possession of more than 5 grams of cocaine can trigger an intent to distribute penalty of 10-16 years in prison, U.S.S.F.s.2D2.1 (b) (1)
The following is a partial list of drugs, and some of the consequences of their use. The abuse of alcohol and use of other illegal drugs is detrimental to the health of the user.
Further, the use of drugs and alcohol is not conducive to an academic atmosphere. Drugs impede the learning process and can cause disruption for other students and disturb their academic interests.
The use of alcohol or drugs in the workplace may also impede the employee's ability to perform in a safe and effective manner, and may result in injuries to others. Early diagnosis and treatment of drug and alcohol abuse is in the best interests of the student, employee, and of the college.
The effects of any drug depend on the amount taken at one time, the past experience of the drug user, the circumstances in which the drug is taken (place, feelings, activities of the user, presence of other people, simultaneous use of other drugs), and the manner in which the drug is taken. This list includes only some of the known health risks, and not all legal or illegal drugs are covered in this brief section.
Violations of these provisions by a student may lead to the imposition of a disciplinary sanction, up to and including suspension or expulsion.
Silver Lake College reserves the right to contact parents or guardians of students who violate the Policy on Alcohol and Other Drug use, in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). This parental contact provisions applies to students under the age of 21.
Silver Lake College will work with students suffering from drug or alcohol abuse or other personal/emotional problems in receiving the assistance necessary to overcome their dependency. Any student seeking such assistance is encouraged to meet with the Dean of Students to discuss the situation before problems begin to surface in the College. Any disclosures made by a student will be treated as strictly confidential by the College administration. The student's decision to seek assistance will not be used as the basis for disciplinary action or used against them in any disciplinary proceedings.
Along with counseling services available through the Silver Lake College Student Life Office, assistance can be obtained through:
Silver Lake College will review the Drug and Alcohol Free policy annually, to determine its effectiveness, implement changes if necessary, and ensure that the sanctions are consistently enforced.
Smoking of tobacco products is not permitted inside the College building, the Generose Enrichment Center, Clare Hall or in college vehicles. This policy is effective for all employees, students and visitors.
The College absolutely prohibits the possession and/or consumption of alcoholic beverages and/or containers in all areas of the Silver Lake College campus.
Violations of these provisions by a student will lead to the imposition of a disciplinary sanction(s). Sanctions will be imposed as follows:
Silver Lake College reserves the right to contact parents or guardians of students who violate Alcohol Policies, in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
The College absolutely prohibits the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs/controlled substances/drug paraphernalia by students and others in all areas of the Silver Lake College residence community.
Violations of these provisions by a student will lead to the imposition of a disciplinary sanction(s). The student will immediately be referred to the Dean of Students. Silver Lake College reserves the right to contact parents or guardians of students who violate the Drug and Alcohol Policy Standards of Conduct, when the Residence Life Staff feels that the health and well being of the student and/or other students is in jeopardy, The City of Manitowoc Metro Drug Unit will be contacted and brought into every incident of unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs/controlled substances.
The Silver Lake College Clare Hall community is a smoke-free and/tobacco-free building. Students must smoke outside and dispose of cigarette butts in the proper, provided receptacles.
Smoking is the third leading cause of fires in student residential settings. A student who ignores the smoking policy will be fined $100.00 per incident and placed on Disciplinary Probation for the remainder of the academic year. The fines will be billed through Student Accounts in the Business Office.

Inflation will moderate: Chidambaram
August 28, 2004
MUMBAI: Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram on Saturday said inflation, that has touched 7.94 per cent, would moderate and asked people to be patient. "There are three-four factors for the rise in inflation, including excess liquidity and shock of oil prices and it (inflation) will moderate", he told newspersons after addressing the annual general meeting of the Indian Banks Association here. "We have no control over oil prices. We have taken fiscal steps and hopefully the performance of various sectors will reduce inflation in the coming weeks", he added.
Now, tackle inflation
June 9, 2008
The inevitable increase in fuel prices is most likely to push up inflation which is already very high at around 8%. Hence the steps announced by the PM, Centre and various states to resort to austerity measures and to reduce sales tax will help in keeping inflation under control. However, this alone would not be sufficient. For example, the RBI can let the rupee rise against the dollar to offset high global prices of crude oil. Likewise, it can allow interest rates to harden which the nation can take at 9% GDP growth.
Menace of inflation
June 11, 2010
This refers to G N Bajpai's 'Imperatives of managing Inflation' (ET, June 9). Part of our inflation is due to higher incremental growth in ownership of personal transport in the absence of an efficient public transportation system. This leads to high growth in demand for fossil fuel followed by its suboptimal use. The second aspect of inflation emerges from the grossly uneconomic pattern of our public expenditure on heavy subsidies on food and grossly inadequate accountability of huge entrustment of public money to FCI. The government has gone on record that in an attempt to increase per hectare yield of agricultural output, there has been an excessive usage of nitrogenous fertilisers which has serious long-term implications for soil fertility.
Govt to tackle inflation

Beat inflation with bonds
January 23, 2011
Ashish Gupta , ET Bureau
With inflation galloping at 12 percent, fixed deposits (FDs) offering a meagre 7-8 percent returns do not meet the needs. Such fixed interest instruments tend to give negative real returns, and the worst affected are fixed income earners who have no indexation facilities. In view of this, a committee of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has proposed the introduction of fully inflation (price movements) indexed bonds (IIB) for institutional investors with maturities of 10-12 years.
New CPI series to have little impact on inflation reading: Analysts
January 25, 2015
MUMBAI: The new Consumer Price Index series, with 2012 as the base year, is expected to have marginal impact on the next reading of inflation, mainly on account of lower weight for food and beverages, say analysts. The government last week said it will have new base year for the CPI inflation series, 2012, and the first revised series would be compiled for January. The reading for that month will be released on February 12. According to SBI Research, the new CPI inflation, based on the consumer expenditure survey (CES)
Are inflation figures real?
September 19, 2007
Pallavi Mulay
The easing of the headline inflation rate over the last few weeks (close to 3.5% as of the week ended September 1) is being viewed by the market as a sign of an end to monetary tightening by the Reserve Bank of India although it could be a temporary breather. But it may be misleading to read too much into these numbers. For one, domestic prices of food articles are still climbing at close to 8.5%. Coupled with this is the fact that domestic fuel prices have not been hiked despite the surge in crude oil prices.
Inflation a major concern
March 1, 2007
Hi, as usual Swaminathan Ankleswara Aiyar has demonstrated his panache in his article. Yes we have a very sagacious finance minister and equally a brilliant media and yes, inflation is a major concern for people. The finance minister being a very intelligent person knows mighty well as what is causing it. It is the surge in black money in the nation which is having a dwindling effect on the economy and making life miserable for all. Hope government will do the needful on this score and ensure that huge sums of black money across all sections be it middle class, upper class or low class is controlled.
Inflation crosses 5% mark
June 4, 2004
NEW DELHI: Inflation pierced the five per cent mark for the first time this fiscal for the week ended May 22 mainly due to a whopping nine per cent rise in prices of vegetables and a moderate hike in the prices of other commodities like wheat, eggs and sugar. After remaining below 5 per cent for 11 weeks, the point-to-point Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inflation continued to rise for the second consecutive week by 0.35 per cent to 5.02 per cent, playing spoil-sport for the small investors and India Inc. The recent data shows that general price level was more or less heading towards six per cent mark though oil prices in the domestic markets have not moved upwards due to the public sector refiners' inability to pass on the higher import prices in the face of continued surge in the global markets and the index was as high as 6.32 per cent in the year-ago period.
