WALNUT CREEK -- Once upon a time, Kristan Le was a financially-stable software engineer working in Silicon Valley.
But after nine years of the daily grind, Le had an epiphany.
"I kind of cried on the way to work because I wanted to paint," Le said. "I felt something was missing. My sister told me, 'Just do what you love.'"
Taking a leap of faith, Le quit her well-paying career and enrolled at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. Still, she approached art with trepidation.
"I always wanted to paint but was afraid," she said.
Her computer background beckoned her to take up animation; she thought she could play it safe -- create art while still in a familiar computer environment. But, she said, her heart knew best.
"I realized I really wanted to touch paint," Le said. "So when I took my first painting class, I never looked back."
Le always remembered what her sculpture teacher once told her: "Choose art over fear."
She said she took that line a step further:
"Choose love over fear. Even if you're painting, there's so much inhibition. But if you chose what you feel is right, it will be OK."
Le, a former Concord resident, embraced her own philosophy when she opened Renditions Art Gallery in downtown Walnut Creek with her partner, Tu Bui, a venture, she said, which has proved to be fruitful as the gallery celebrated its one-year anniversary.
The gallery features not only Le's oil paintings but also the paintings of local artists. She named the gallery for the paintings that represent various renderings of life.
"A painting is a rendition of anything you see," she said.
Embracing new life adventures has been Le's modus operandi. Born in Saigon, Vietnam, Le remembers when she and several other people headed for the United States by boat in 1975.
"The boat drifted out to sea and we were stuck out at sea for at least a month," she said. "I was a kid. I thought it was adventurous. Kids didn't understand the fear. For the adults, it was terrifying."
She settled in San Diego with her family and even then, Le had her heart set on art. Her high school art teacher submitted one of her drawings to the Congressional Art Competition. She flew to Washington, D.C. to accept her first-place award when she was a junior in high school.
Still, Le took up cognitive engineering at UC San Diego because she didn't think she could make a living as an artist. But the fine arts degree she obtained from what is now known as Academy of Art University in San Francisco proved to be a fulfilling investment, Le said.
Now, she splits her time between running Renditions Gallery and teaching art classes at Academy of Art University.
Her work has been shown at Gardner Colby Galleries in Naples, Fla., and for the national exhibitions of the Oil Painters of America and the American Impressionist Society.
Le admires the work of Russian Impressionist painters such as Nicolai Fechin. Many of her paintings show street scenes, seascape and landscapes of her native country.
"There's always Vietnam in there because I'm trying to find something I lost or bringing back something I had," Le said of her art. "I was born in one place but raised somewhere else so I'm just making that connection to where I was born in my paintings."
Le's partner, Bui, said her paintings are diverse in subject matter and style.
"What I find to be most captivating about her paintings is that each one of them has their own mood or story," he said. "I am most moved by the expressiveness in the lighting and the faces that she paints."
Le said she aims to make the gallery space very easygoing.
"You will be welcomed by my two four-legged employees -- my gallery dogs," Le said of her Labrador and pointer mix.
WHAT: Renditions Art Gallery one-year anniversary show through Dec. 1
WHERE: 1383 N. Broadway, Walnut Creek; Regular hours 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday

High winds down trees, knock out power in West Alabama
Published: Friday, January 11, 2013 at 9:13 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 11, 2013 at 9:13 a.m.
Heavy winds caused some downed trees and structural damage across West Alabama on Thursday night.
Winds that reached 74 miles per hour were recorded on the roof of the Tuscaloosa County Courthouse, according to the National Weather Service.
Trees and power lines were reported down on Caplewood Drive, on U.S. Highway 43 near Tuscaloosa County Road 63, in Duncanville, Fosters and Samantha. Several businesses on the Strip also lost power.
Meteorologists said that the event is a type of gravity wave, also called a wake low.
It's an uncommon occurrence that's not easy to forecast.
"It typically happens on the back edge of a rain event," said Jim Westland, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Birmingham. "As rain dissipates, there's a disturbance in the atmosphere and it causes an imbalance in pressure. The wind is just an attempt for the atmosphere to get things back into balance."
"Picture a boat going through the water, or what happens when you put your hand vertically into water and push it forward. Behind your hand there's a depression. That's the water version of a wake low," he said.
The wake low was caused by a wave of storms that began in Mississippi.
"That big wave of thunderstorms acted as the hand. That created low pressure behind the decaying area of storms, the winds were trying to fill that isolated, but strong low pressure area. They're not common, but they do occur. We can see conditions that are favorable for them to form, but trying to forecast when they will form is next to impossible."
Roof damage was reported at the Boligee Post Office in Greene County, where several trees and power lines were also reported down. Fallen trees and utility lines were also reported in Sumter, Lamar and Hale counties.
Alabama Power reported Friday morning that 450 customers were without electricity, down from 17,000 homes and businesses that initially lost power.
The weather service says parts of Alabama could see as much as 5 inches of rain by early next week, and some areas could receive even more rain in small downpours.
Forecasters say the storms are from an unseasonably warm and humid air mass that is moving across the Southeast.

STOCKTON – Citing a fear of rising crime, the city tonight will seek to ban medical marijuana dispensaries nearly three years after making them legal in Stockton.
Burglaries, robberies, violence and illegal sales to minors have increased in cities that allow dispensaries, the city's Deputy Community Development Director Forrest Ebbs says in a staff report.
Ebbs will ask the city's Planning Commission tonight to vote on the ban before it goes to the City Council for final action.
Cannabis advocates plan to fight the change, saying medical users in Stockton will be forced to buy on the street.
The city on Sept. 23, 2010, approved the ordinance, allowing three dispensaries that needed city permits. Only one dispensary ever opened.

PRAGUE, Czech Republic (WOMENSENEWS)--A woman's cut-off torso, bound in leather, towers 50 feet above a heavily trafficked city street here.
For the thousands of people who pass the billboard of the giant, enslaved torso each day, her enormous and exposed cleavage blocks the view of the sky.
The image is not an advertisement for a pornographic magazine. It's for a bank in the center of the Czech capital city. "A beautiful woman is hard to guard," wording below the torso announces. "What about your money?"
The billboard is no longer just on view at this and other busy intersections. It is now also part of an exhibit that some think may be the first government-supported initiative in a formerly Soviet bloc country to combat sexually explicit advertising.
The exhibit, "In Our Faces: Visual Assault on the Streets of Prague," opened earlier this month in Prague's city hall in the same medieval building on the Old Town Square that houses the city's famous landmark astronomical clock.
The mayor's office donated the space for the exhibition, which includes about 50 large-scale photographs of sexually explicit advertising billboards and magazine covers that are highly visible throughout Prague.
"The exhibition is intended to draw attention to the degradation suffered by everyone--men, women and children--when they must constantly confront advertising that views the human body as a sexual tool for advertisers," said Suzanne Formanek, one of the exhibition's organizers. "These ads are all over Prague, but they are not tolerated in many other developed cities in the world."
Relationship of Public to Ads
The exhibit photographs portray not only the ads themselves, but the relationship of the public to the ads. They show passers-by, roller skaters and children eyeing naked bodies and suggestive captions.
"I guess I took these photographs as a way of fighting back," said Beth Lazroe, the Prague-based American photographer and university lecturer whose works are on display. "I think we all become so deadened to these pictures around us and it is becoming worse. We don't even know how it affects us, how it makes us feel about ourselves and about the worth of women."
Lazroe, who has lived in Prague for 10 years, said that she did not intend for her works to foist an American attitude onto Czech society. She said the idea for the exhibit came from Czech friends. "They encouraged me and they complain about the presence of these ads. They just thought there was nothing to be done about it," she said.
Prague authorities take the issue of sexually explicit advertising seriously, said Miroslav Sklenar, vice director of Prague City Hall. "If a problem is to be resolved, we first must become aware of its existence and this exhibition proves that Prague is aware of the problem."
Sklenar noted that the city had recently banned street advertising for its ubiquitous sex clubs, although some in the exhibition-opening crowd grumbled that the sex clubs, not their ads, are the problem.
Kristina Mikulova, a student in her second year at Prague's Charles University, glanced up from viewing photographs at the "In Our Faces" exhibition to say that the ads in which women's heads are cut off make her particularly angry.
"It's like the advertisers are telling us that what is in a woman's head doesn't matter," she said.
Mikulova was not optimistic about such ads disappearing anytime soon. "Women here, we are still getting used to the chance to get things, to buy things," she said. "We are more focused on ourselves and much less on what is around us."
Looking at Links to Violence, Trafficking
The exhibition opening followed a Sept. 8 conference held in the upper floors of the gallery about the links between sexually explicit advertising and domestic violence, human trafficking and the overall lowering of the status of women in society.
A speaker, Branislava Vargova of the Prague-based domestic-violence support group, ROSA, led with a 1999 billboard ad for a racy tabloid that showed a woman's bare behind with several cuts in it. "Everyone likes a good spanking," read the tagline.
Vargova told conference attendees that such ads were typical in the Czech Republic and played into the stereotype that women like to be humiliated.
While reported incidents of domestic violence in the Czech Republic are along the lines of the European average--between 10 percent and 12 percent of women here are abused during the course of their lifetimes--Vargova said she was troubled by cases in which perpetrators specifically referenced their partners' shortcomings to the ideal portrayed in billboard advertisements.
"We had a case where a man would exhaust his wife by forcing her for hours to assume the positions of the women featured in all the ads," said Vargova. "In another instance, a man beat his wife because he said she did not act as sexy as the women he was now seeing on billboards."
Jirina Siklova, founder of the Gender Studies Center in Prague, an academic think tank and co-organizer of the conference, said that pornographic magazines and sexually explicit ads began cropping up in Prague only a few weeks after the demise of Communism in 1989.
"Everything coming from the West was connected to freedom and liberty for us," Siklova said. "We thought we were being modern and democratic by tolerating such things."
Problematic Import
Petra Burcikova, director of the Czech branch of La Strada, a nongovernmental organization that assists victims of human trafficking, told conference attendees that the capitals of Western Europe are engines of advertising that use women and their bodies to sell products to men.
"It is clear that women's bodies, not men's, are used to sell everything from saws to cars and men are the target customers," Burcikova said.
But while the ads and magazines came pouring in from Western Europe, that region's culture of social protest and criticism did not follow.
Although women in Western Europe may have long campaigned against sexually explicit advertising, women in the former Soviet bloc had little experience with that or other gender-related issues.
A feeling of powerlessness amid offensive advertising is typical of former Soviet bloc countries, gender analysts here say, since active social resistance was prevented during Communism's four-decade rule.
"What is tolerated in our region would never be accepted by women or even society in the West," said Pavla Jonssonova, a professor of gender studies at Prague's Anglo-American College.
For instance, in 2001 Nokia ran a billboard promoting a hands-free device to Czechs that featured a cartoon illustration of a man in a car attacking the breasts of a woman with both hands as she screamed. The phone was cradled on the dashboard. "Free Hands!" read the caption.
The Gender Studies Center, a nonprofit think tank based in Prague, complained to Nokia's Czech office, which ignored the objection. But once people from the center contacted Nokia's head office in Espoo, Finland, managers there they said they were appalled.
The ad was promptly taken down.

Fifty Salem-Liberty Elementary students were in Marietta Monday, learning more about the Pioneer City they've been studying for the last few weeks.
Their day began at the Anderson Hancock Planetarium on the Marietta College campus. Sara McElroy, 10, said she's visited the planetarium before.
"I've probably been there about four times, but every time it's been something new," she said. "I like to learn about the constellations."

Students from Salem-Liberty Elementary School gathered for lunch on the Marietta College campus lawn Monday where they were joined by Marietta Mayor Joe Matthews who talked about the city's history and municipal government.
SAM SHAWVER The Marietta Times
Salem-Liberty Elementary School students rode on the Trolley Tours bus for a tour of Marietta's historic sites Monday morning. The tour was part of a field trip related to recent studies about the Pioneer City.
McElroy said the planetarium visits have helped her identify the constellations when they appear in the night sky above her home.
She and classmate Lauren Zwick, 10, were also interested in the replicas of two Chinese terra cotta warriors at Marietta College's Thomas Hall that were recently donated to the institution by alumni Ormah and the late Bob Duggan.
The warriors are copies of more than 1,000 terra cotta soldiers that have been discovered by archaeologists in 1974 while unearthing the tomb of 3rd century B.C. Emperor Qin Shi Huang Di. The warriors, stationed in underground trenches around the tomb, were reportedly created to guard the emperor in his afterlife.
Fact Box
Students learn about Marietta
Students in fourth through sixth grades from Salem-Liberty Elementary School traveled to Marietta for a day-long field trip Monday.
The group attended a presentation at Marietta College's Anderson Hancock Planetarium, had lunch with Mayor Joe Matthews, toured Marietta College and President Joseph Bruno's home and received a tour of the Washington County Courthouse by the county commissioners.
The field trip was part of a course the Salem-Liberty students are taking to learn more about the Marietta area and history in their own backyard.
"We've been learning about the terra cotta warriors that were originally dug up by some Chinese farmers," Zwick said. "I love history, and just learning about it."
The students spent their lunch time on the campus lawn along Fourth Street, munching on sandwiches and hearing about some of Marietta's history from Mayor Joe Matthews.
"Is it hard to run a city?" asked fourth-grader Michael Carpenter.
"Anything you do in life can be hard," Matthews answered. "But I like my job, so it's not really hard to me. And something you all should know is to do what you enjoy in life and it won't seem so hard."
Ten-year-old Luke Huffman said he didn't realize there was so much to learn about in Marietta.
"So far I really liked the talk with Mayor Matthews and the planetarium," he said.
After lunch the students were split into two groups. One group boarded a Trolley Tours bus bound for a tour of some of the city's historic areas. Unfortunately that tour ended within a half hour as the trolley had a breakdown near Indian Acres Park.
The other group of students took a walking tour of the college campus, through the Dyson-Baudo Recreation Center and were taken on a tour of the college president's home by Marietta College President Joseph Bruno and his wife, Diane.
"This is a really cool house," said 9-year-old Derek West as the students climbed the steps to the nearly 200-year-old home.
The Brunos met the children at the door and invited them in to see some of the historical items, paintings and photos inside.
Hands went up all over the room when Joesph Bruno asked how many children were planning to attend college. He gave some advice on getting ready for their post high school education now.
"You have to work hard in school, but also get involved in as many other activities as you can," Bruno said. "Pursue your interests, and maybe we'll be seeing you in about eight years."
Teacher Renay Eddy, who coordinated Monday's field trip, said the students have been studying about Marietta and some of the history and other attractions that exist in the Pioneer City.
"When we go back to the classroom they'll be asked to design a brochure about Marietta from all that they've learned today," she said. "There are a lot of free things they can do and sites they can see here, and we hope they'll tell their parents who will bring them back to see more during the summer."
Eddy and fellow teachers Kelly Biehl and Ericka Schneider are Marietta College alumni and wanted the children to visit the campus.
"A lot of these kids have never set foot on a college campus, and we wanted them to get an idea of how exciting it can be," Eddy said. "And we have so much for people to see and do right here in our own backyard."

Richard Littlemore | January 10, 2009
By Richard Littlemore • Saturday, January 10, 2009 - 10:29
There is a nice repudiation by Tamino at Open Mind of the current round of stories announcing the "cooling trend" in global average temperatures. (Thx Jim Eager for noticing.)
Tamino concludes that the deniers are right: it was cooler in 2008 than in 2007 - which is a variation - but inexorably warmer over the last century - which is the trend.
When people ignore this longterm direction, choosing instead to pick the high point (perhaps 1998) and then claim a decline in average temperature, Tamino keeps an open mind about whether that is a reflection of dishonesty or stupidity.
In this, however, stupidity should not be a defence. It's bullshit, even if the liar is delusional rather than dishonest.

Hansen's presentation at the AGU had an additional detail....
James Hansen showed a similar graph in his December 17 2008 Bjerknes Lecture delivered at the American Geophysical Union meeting, which is available online http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/2008/AGUBjerknes_20081217.pdf top of page 3.
Hansen's presentation adds the additional detail of a graph on the same time scale at the bottom showing the strength of El Nino/La Nina. The "cooling" that people talk about from 2007 to 2008 is shown to correlate to the La Nina event currently underway, which as I understand things in my dim way indicates the planet may not be "cooling" at all, as some of the heat measured in 2007 at the surface of the ocean may be underneath the cooler surface waters of the La Nina, which may be a wind caused event mixing ocean waters. In any case, this graph showing the global temperature figures and the El Nino/La Nina correlation is used by Hansen as he confidently predicts the global temperature graph to be showing "heating" again as soon as an El Nino appears, which looks to be very soon. Hansen notes that there is not enough good data about temperature in the deep ocean. It is preposterous to believe one can condemn global warming theory on the basis of a one year wiggle in a graph of global surface temperature like this.

The long term
Could you clarify what you think is the long term? For you, how long would temperatures have to cool - or at least fail to rise - while CO2 emissions continued to rise - for you to say, "okay, the theory of Catastrophic AGW doesn't fit with observable reality"? Two years, five, ten, fifty?
Richard Littlemore replied on Permalink
Long term?
It's not within my expertise to set out definitions, but if you look at the Tamino graph for the 10 year average, you might get a sense of what the "long term" trend looks like. If you look at the material on which the graph is based, you will see that every years since 1999 has been hotter than any year before 1998. That seems to indicate a long term trend, too.
I have to wonder, what would have to happen to make you spend a little time looking critically at the literature and notice the preponderance of evidence? Because I am confident that if we hit an El Nino year in the next couple of years and the temperature spikes again to a new high, that everyone in the denier community would say, "Oh, that's only one year. That's weather, not climate." Yet in a La Nina year, when the global average temperatureis holding at a top-10-in-recorded-history level, you're implying that the global warming has stopped.

Increasing CO2 will always be a problem
You are under a couple of misunderstandings about the effects of CO2.
Firstly, the physics of CO2 in the atmosphere is unequivical. It is acting as a greenhouse gas and increasing concentrations will result in long term temperature increases. Over the short term these increases may be masked by other factors e.g. volcanoes, solar variation and just weather. One of the factors which is being looked at right now is the effects of Asian brown clouds which are having a number of effects on climate and weather. (see: http://preview.tinyurl.com/6endor). Thus global temperatures may seem to be flat for a period of time but the underlying forcing is still present and is increasing (till we produce less CO2) and will come back with a vengeance when the temporary maskings cease.
Secondly, even if other factors ABC, sulphate aerosols (see geo-engineering) produce a temporary levelling off in temperatures the effects of CO2 on oceans will continue unabated. Lowering the pH of the oceans will have catastrophic effects on ocean life cycles including food for human consumption and reduction in oxygen production.
So please don't think that if temperatures are level for a period of time that everything will be alright. Things will only get worse if we continue to pump ever increasing amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere.

I was asking what empirical
I was asking what empirical data would constitute a falsification of the theory of catastrophic man-made global warming? If no imaginable data could ever falsify it, then it's not science, it's religion.
Richard Littlemore - you suggest I "notice the preponderance of evidence". But you can't have it both ways. If a marked rise in global temperatures since the 1980s supports the theory, then a failure to continue rising in the future would surely put the theory into question. Don't you agree?
Ian Forrester - You seem to be saying that anything that might happen to the Earth that conflicts with the theory of catastrophic man-made global warming - no matter how intense, no matter how enduring - must, by definition, constitute merely a "temporary masking", not a falsification of the theory.
You say "the physics of CO2 in the atmosphere is unequivocal" - that we already know everything there is to know about it. Yet the fourth IPCC report, for instance, predicts a temperature rise of between 1.1 and 6.4 degrees centigrade across the next hundred years. That's a very wide predictive margin of error for a scientific forecast. I don't know if the low figure is to allow for a hundred years of "temporary masking". But it suggests that there is still a fair bit of honest scientific disagreement about the extent of positive and negative feedback effects in the climate system. If a climate scientist predicts the Earth will warm by only 1 degree, is she a "denialist"? If in fact the Earth only warms by 1 degree, is the Earth a "denialist"?
It seems incredibly anthro-centric to assume that everything effecting the earth system other than man-made CO2 is just a trivial, temporary masking phenomenon. The forces we're talking about - the Sun, cosmic rays, Milankovic cycles, Jupiter, the Earth's interior, the Earth-Moon interaction - are giant forces. Maybe they're all effectively flatlined, and only man-made CO2 is changing the climate system significantly - for the moment at least. But if evidence emerges that they are causing major effects on the climate - in either direction - we will have to adjust our models to take account of them, and not just dismiss them as "temporary masking".
Ian Forrester replied on Permalink
Of course it can be falsified
It's just that any conceivable "falsification" is so improbable as to be laughable.
Perhaps there are aliens on a planet far removed from our solar sytem who, just for fun, are shooting rays which we cannot detect, that will have the same effect on the earth's temperature as increasing the levels of carbon dioxide. Of course, these rays would also have to neutralize the radiative properties of carbon dioxide.
A second way the theory could be falsified is if for some reason the radiative properties of carbon dioxide only functioned in a narrow range of concentrations so that once a certain level was reached there would be no further warming observed as concentrations increase. This has probably been disproved in the lab (maybe 100 years ago?).
If you believe that such nonsense could be true you are the one who is following a religious belief system, not climate scientists or other intelligent people.
It is funny that the only people who ever bring up Karl Popper and his ideas are deniers. I first heard of him on evolution denying websites. I have been a scientist for over forty years and I have never heard his name mentioned once in all my courses and many countless hours talking to other scientists. Clearly we do not seem to think that his ideas have much to do with how science is actually conducted (successfully, I might add). How can scientists be considered scientists before Popper told us how science should be conducted? The scientific method predated Popper by a long time.
As for your comments about the range of warming stated in the IPCC, the range was based on different scenarios as far as output of carbon dioxide, not on the effects of a doubling as many deniers like to, falsely, claim.
The IPCC consider that 3-5 degree increase for a doubling, reducing the uncertainty from the previous report while leaving the most likely unchanged.
Why do people have so much trouble interpreting the IPCC reports? Do not rely on second hand comments (especially from right wing think tanks or denier websites), go and read the reports directly or go to sites where actual scientists discuss these things (RealClimate, Open Mind, Deltoid, Skeptical Science) etc.).

Hello everyone,
I have a report deployed to CMC that was migrated from a BOXI R2 environment. In the R2 environment the report was created against oledb driver, deployed and we ran it against an ODBC SQL Server data source. Everything was fine. Report could be previewed and scheduled/ran.
After migrating the report to SAP BI 4.0 using the deployment tool, I can view the report in 4.0 CMC fine which means that the report can establish a connection to the database. I could verify this by changing the data source name in ODBC admin in windows and it didn't work, so I know it was using the connection.
The strangest thing is that when I run the report (Right click > Schedule or Right click Run Now) I get this error:
Error in File ~tmp1bc86f443c2ea80.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 18456 ]
This error seems to suggest that I didn't provide the correct logon parameters or that I am not authorized to access this database (correct me if I'm wrong). However it doesn't make sense because the exact same parameters were used for Viewing the report which works.
I verified a thousand times that the login info in Database Configuration is correct. I'm out of ideas. I expected this migration to be rather smooth since we're going only 2 versions up.
Anyone? Much appreciated.
BI 4.0 is running on Windows 2008 Server 64 bit.
Hi Bart,
What DB client are you using? And is it 32 or 64 bit?
Try adding the same DSN to both ODBC Admin, one located in \windows\system32 and the 32 bit is in \windows\syswow64 folder.
Thanks for the reply Don,
I did not have the data source set up on the \windows\system32 admin so I have done that (exact same config as on the 32 bit one).
I'm still getting the erorr when I try to schedule/run the report. Viewing still works as before.
ODBC data source is using SQL Native Client for SQL Server 2005 (which is our database - set up on a different machine).
Is there any reason why it wouldn't work when scheduling the report vs viewing it? I thought the backend process for getting the data would be the same...
Thanks again.
Best regards,
Hi Bart,
What I have discovered is the SQL 2008 Client Tools works for SQL 2005 and it has both a 32 and 64 bit client. See if installing that works on the BOE PC and setting up the ODBC using the SQL Native 10 driver.
You can download the Client Tools from MS.
Hi Don,
Thanks for the suggestion but I have tried that before. I tried again right now and I still get the problem.
I used the SQL Server Native Client 10.0 (version 2007.100.1600.22, SQLNCLI10.dll) drivers.
I still, however, receive the same error message described above.
Hi Bart,
Just to clarify, you create the report off of OLE DB and then publish to BOE and use ODBC to connect correct?
If so the error is likely generated due to the changes in the driver. Use the same connection method in BOE and you do in CR Designer.
Hi Don,
Correct, we use oledb/ado to connect at design level (easier for the designers) and then publish to BOE and run as odbc. It was done this way for historical reasons and there are thousands of reports done like this. Now, the reason why I expect this to work on version 4 is that it worked in boxi r2 without issues. Did something change? And I still find it a mystery that viewing the report works yet running it does not. Is it a 32bit/64bit issue maybe?
Hi Bart,
Yes it did change, MS SQL 2008 does not support the MDAC version of the SQL Client which your report designers are likely using. So converting on the fly can and will generate errors if they are using features unique to SQL Server 2008.
BOE assumes your reports work as is and no conversions are required, designing on OLE DB and running against ODBC is considered a conversion.
I don't see any advantage of doing this.... You still have to enter a Server Name User, Password and Table to use.
It's going to be a pain to set them all to OLE DB but better to do it now than later....
Try one to verify it works...
Oh, and the reports also require being updated to Native 10 driver.

Children can easily drink a lot of juice because juice tastes good. However, too much juice in your child's diet can contribute to other problems, like poor nutrition, obesity, and tooth decay. Parents can continue to offer age-appropriate servings of juice in addition to offering whole fruits and other beverage options like water or low-fat milk.
*The AAP recommends breastfeeding as the sole source of nutrition for your baby for about 6 months. When you add solid foods to your baby's diet, continue breastfeeding until at least 12 months. You can continue to breastfeed after 12 months if you and your baby desire. Check with your child's doctor about vitamin D and iron supplements during the first year.

It's the Mondrian cakes that made her famous, but the distinctive primary-colored pastry is by no means the only modern art dessert in Caitlin Freeman's baking arsenal. Over the years, the pastry chef behind the Blue Bottle Cafe at San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art has done Robert Mapplethorpe bananas, Andy Warhol gelees and scores of other artistic sweets, all inspired by SFMoMA exhibits.
So it's with a certain sense of culinary relief that we can tell you that while the museum may be shutting down this summer for a massive expansion project, you needn't be Mondrian cake-deprived until 2016. Not only is Freeman reprising her signature edible graphic at New York's MOMA later this month, you'll find DIY instructions in her new cookbook, "Modern Art Desserts" (Ten Speed Press, $25, 216 pages).
Naturally, we had questions.
Q You're the sweet side of Blue Bottle Coffee. How did you wind up making edible homages to artists?
A Back in college, I was an art student, and fell in love with the painter Wayne Thiebaud. I got sucked into work life in San Francisco, having nothing to do with art. I saw the 2000 retrospective of Thiebaud's work and made a big declaration: that what I was going to do with my life was make art with cakes. And learn to make cakes.
Q You ended up with a patisserie of your own, the now-famous Miette. How did you land at the museum?
A SF MoMA called my husband (Blue Bottle founder James Freeman) and said, "Hey, we have this new cafe space, would you be interested in being the coffee shop up there?" We did a hard hat tour space and kind of during the middle of it, I thought, "My god, this building was where I first saw the first Thiebaud painting, 'Display Cakes' back in college. We're going to have a cafe, and I'm totally going to make Thiebaud cakes here."
Q Mondrian, Mapplethorpe -- how do you and your pastry colleagues, Leah Rosenberg and Tess Wilson, decide which art works deserve something delicious?
A We only serve things that are on display in the museum, so they're constantly changing, but the Mondrians never come down. We start to get an idea of what's going on with the show, talk to the curators. There's a lot of brainstorming -- and often the most ridiculous thing is super awesome. We're in this insane position, where we get to come up with preposterous things, and people are delighted by it. It has to be clever, and it has to be delicious. It's not just an art project up there. We have to have delicious food.
Q What's the best part of this for you?
A It's so thrilling to be in this place I admired so much. As a failed artist, I see this as this incredibly exciting way to gallivant around the museum, participating.
Q So what will you do while the museum is closed?
A A pop-up at MOMA in New York, May 14 to May 21. We're starting with Mondrian cakes and Thiebaud cakes, and there's a great Andy Warhol series in their cafe -- incredible, they have Andy Warhol in their cafe! -- so we'll modify our Warhol jello to work with their pieces. Blue Bottle always has stuff in the works, and we started Modernartdesserts.com to archive all the projects that aren't in the book.
With life and my work, not knowing (the future) is pretty great. I can't help but think amazing things are out there.

Heart Disease Health Center
When Your Heart Rhythm Isn't Normal
In this article
Causes and Types of of Arrhythmias continued...
AV nodal reentrant tachycardia. This is another type of fast heartbeat. It's caused by there being an extra pathway through a part of the heart called the AV node. It can cause heart palpitations, fainting, or heart failure. In some cases, you can stop it simply by breathing in and bearing down. Some drugs can also stop this heart rhythm.
Ventricular tachycardia (V-tach). A rapid heart rhythm starting from the heart's lower chambers. Because the heart is beating too fast, it can't fill up with enough blood. This can be a serious arrhythmia -- especially in people with heart disease -- and it may be linked to other symptoms.
Ventricular fibrillation. This happens when the heart's lower chambers quiver and can't contract or pump blood to the body. This is a medical emergency that must be treated with CPR and defibrillation as soon as possible.
Long QT syndrome. This may cause potentially dangerous arrhythmias and sudden death. Doctors can treat it with medications or devices called defibrillators.
Bradyarrhythmias. These are slow heart rhythms, which may be due to disease in the heart's electrical system. If you experience this, call your doctor.
Sinus node dysfunction. This slow heart rhythm is due to a problem with the heart's sinus node. Some people with this type of arrhythmia need a pacemaker.
Heart block. There is a delay or a complete block of the electrical impulse as it travels from the heart's sinus node to its lower chambers. The heart may beat irregularly and, often, more slowly. In serious cases, you'd get a pacemaker.
Symptoms of Arrhythmias
An arrhythmia can be silent, meaning you don't notice any symptoms. A doctor can find an irregular heartbeat during a physical exam by taking your pulse or through an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG).
If you do have symptoms, they may include:
- Palpitations (a feeling of skipped heart beats, fluttering or "flip-flops")
- Pounding in your chest
- Dizziness or feeling light-headed
- Fainting
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain or tightness
- Weakness or fatigue (feeling very tired)

Walker football coach involved in bloody brawl resignsThe Associated Press
Published: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 11:09 p.m.
One of the coaches involved resigned. It wasn't clear whether either school would face disciplinary measures.
Steve Savarese, executive director of the oversight body, said the fight between coaches from Cullman and Walker high schools was an "isolated incident" that did not reflect the actions of most coaches.
"We truly understand the passions that are involved in competitive athletics, but we can never allow those passions to cross the line and become unsportsmanlike in nature," Savarese said in a statement.
The association is still investigating, and an AHSAA spokesman said both schools will be allowed to play their games this week. The schools could face disciplinary measures including post-season restrictions.
A television station captured video of the fight and it has been featured on numerous websites and channels.
Two coaches from Walker and Cullman high schools fought on the field seconds after Cullman beat Walker 13-10 with a late touchdown on Friday.
Video from a cable station in Jasper, TV16HD, showed a Cullman coach walking toward a Walker coach, who takes a swing with his right fist. Others coaches, players and police separated the men.
Jasper school officials suspended Walker head coach John Holladay indefinitely and named an interim coach.
Jasper school superintendent Robert Sparkman told reporters after a meeting with AHSAA officials in Montgomery that Holladay had resigned, said Ron Ingram, a spokesman for the prep organization. Sparkman did not immediately return a message seeking details.
Cullman didn't take any action against its coaches.
Photos showed Cullman assistant coach Matt Hopper with a swollen, reddened face after the fight.
Savarese said he was "disappointed by the actions of those involved."
"This is an isolated incident, and is not indicative of the good sportsmanship demonstrated by the more than 10,000 coaches in our state each day," Savarese said.
Savarese said the findings of the AHSAA probe would be released to the schools, which will release any further information.

If anyone is interested, and either doesn't mind drivin' to Clinton, or, lives somewhere close to Clinton:
September 7th, 6:00, Clinton Chamber of Commerce building.
The City Chamber of Commerce is going to try to get "interested parties" together to start talking about the new course going in.
Interested Parties:
1. People interested in becoming a part of a Clinton Club (of sorts), that will comprise of interested disc golfers in which the grant money will be submitted to, if accepted. (the grants were written by the "CDGC", in order to have an entitity, not simply one person's name)
2. Eagle Point Park workers. I'm told that the "big guy" for the park is going to be there, so we can discuss what will need to be done, how, when, etc. The course is already laid out, and adheres to their wishes, we just have to talk to everyone about getting it done.
3. City officials, of sorts. This was all started in order to finish a relatively easy project this year for Clinton's "Great Places" award (or something like that). I'm sure some will be there in order to see what this Disc Golf thing is all about, and ask questions about what it could do to help the city.
Hope to see some of you.

- Inside Politics: Contra Costa County says labor is putting new call center jobs at risk
RICHMOND -- Contra Costa County has secured a major infusion of state funds for a new health exchange call center, but the big question is what city gets the investment.
The state last month chose the county as the site for one of three California Health Benefits Exchange Call Centers, but after weeks of study and debate, county supervisors appear divided on whether the center should be in Richmond or Concord.
The board is set to vote Tuesday.
"We need to have a side-by-side comparison and consider all the elements," said District 3 Supervisor Mary Piepho, who represents the eastern portion of the county. "The staff was pushing for Richmond, but this needs a full deliberation and a decision by the board."
The new site will house a call center with more than 200 employees. The center is aimed at supporting the eligibility and enrollment aspects of the state-level Affordable Care Act programs, including assisting uninsured Californians in purchasing insurance. The center will be funded by state and federal dollars.
Supporters of putting the center in Richmond note that the city was touted as a preferred site in the county's successful bid. One of the criteria for the preferred site was that it should provide employment in an area where unemployment rates are persistently high.
Unemployment in Richmond is at 14 percent, one of the highest rates in the county.
But Concord supporters say that city is more centrally located for workers and residents in the heart of the county, in closer proximity to other county services and accessible by public transit.
"The most overarching issues are cost-effectiveness and acceptability to the most amount of people looking for a job," said District 4 Supervisor Karen Mitchoff, who represents an area of Central County that includes Concord. "West County has a higher unemployment rate than Concord, yes, but when you combine areas of East and Central County, the difference is not that big."
The uncertainty heading into Tuesday's meeting is a marked change after county staff had settled on a preliminary site in Richmond for the new center. In December, the board voted unanimously to search for a site in San Pablo, Pittsburg or Richmond. But now Piepho wants to consider other options. She led the charge to explore other sites and bring the decision before the board.
"We were just being told (by staff) that Richmond was the site," Piepho said. "I stood up against that."
According to a staff report released late Thursday, the cost to occupy the proposed site at 1450 Marina Way South in Richmond would be $3.4 million, and the cost at the Concord site, 2500 Bates Ave., would be $4.25 million.
District 1 Supervisor John Gioia, who represents West County, said the staff report makes clear that Richmond is the optimum site.
"(The Richmond site) is $860,000 less than Concord and is located in the highest unemployment area of the county," Gioia said, adding that he's concerned the county may have to pick up the difference for the higher-priced option. Piepho and Mitchoff dispute that contention.
The 31-page report prepared by county staff avoided a direct recommendation but appeared to favor the Richmond site overall and noted that the owners of the Richmond site submitted a superior proposal.
"The Bates Avenue proposal did not meet a significant portion of (the minimum) requirements, and instead suggested the county change its requirements ..." the report said.
Richmond's City Council on Tuesday passed a unanimous resolution urging the county to choose Richmond.
Mitchoff on Friday disputed the notion that the Richmond site would provide cost savings or that the county may be on the hook for some costs if the Concord site is selected. She called the Concord site, a former Comcast call center, the more move-in-ready facility.
"I am not looking at this from a territorial perspective," Mitchoff said. "I want what is best for all the county."

there were two dudes there, one had like an orange purse thing. and his friend with an army/navy football shirt. real goofy. i was hella uncomfortable around them. or when they were asking sage what his inspiration is. (what the fuck? read something.)

I had a good time. The directions were a bit risky, but aside from that
the show was great. Thanks to Caroline for bringing us out and Josh/Fitch
for hooking it up. I hope cats enjoyed the set. As for us being dickheads
in pushing our respective albums/products, perhaps anyone who has a
problem with us trying to move units could pay my gas bill. If not, oh well gets awful chilly in my apartment, but its a small sacrifice in respect to your peace of mind and mine too. For that matter my cell-phone bill needs to be paid off too, so be a sport and drop a check off for a couple of yards at
my doorstep, so that way I don't have to offend whatever code of manners
you so stridently hold me in violation of. Money for textbooks would also
come in handy as well, but if you can't help us out we understand, we
wouldn't hold you trying to get by against you or anything.
That said peace to Sage, I hope you enjoyed the show, had fun rocking
and got home safely, let us know what you think of the albums.

...oh yeah I have one more "dickheaded" comment to make, to add on to what Dos mentioned. STOP BEING SO FUCKING SENSITIVE!!! STRAIGHT UP WHEN DID PEOPLE START TAKING THEMSELVES SO FUCKING SERIOUSLY. If you really think that we came all that way to rock that show and offend the audience so they would not buy our music you have some kind of fucking disorder. There are places where you can that checked out at bro.
yadda, yadda, yadda... insert everything that dos said above in this space.

well, well...
To the guys who went on first - very good.
sage-you fucking rocked. It was definitly worth the drive. My boyfriend wasn't too all about your stuff before, but all weekend he was spitting out little lines. (so cute)
I wasn't feeling the crowd that much though. I was singing in the back and I had people staring at me, looking like, "how does this littel girl knwow all the words". But whateva- I was busy doing my thing.
There were too many tall people as well.
That guy who yelled that shit about Eminem needed to shut his face. Was he mad cause you said shit to that girl? It's not you fault she had an annoying little voice.
So-we hug out in philly all day on Saturday. Having never been there before, I had a GREAT time. We went everywhere, but mostly chilled on South St. You know, that's where all the *kids* were. Made friends with an old man who had a lot of broken bones. Good stuff.
Overall-very good weekend. Driving up there was a biotch, but the ride home wasn't shit though. The only bad thing--I did not get my philly cheese steak. I wanted one so bad.

Much thanks to Sage, Dos, and Cabell for performing. I enjoyed bringing you out.

Cheerios ad sparks debate on interracial relationships
TERI AND CARL DASHFIELD The recent controversy over the new Cheerios commercial which features an interracial couple and their biracial daughter's concern for her father's heart health has stirred up a lot of emotion, causing the question to be asked, has society become more accepting of interracial relationships now than years before or is it still just as taboo?"I loved it (the commercial) and thought it was so cute," said Teri Dashfield, of Ohio. "But the first thing I thought, besides how cute it was, is that Cheerios is going to get some flack. There are going to be some narrow-minded people being ugly. People need to get over it. It is adorable and it represents the changing face of our nation. I'm very happy Cheerios has not backed down."
