Costco's Incredible Return Policy
|Email Print
I know a lot of folks love Costco, I'm one of them. Did you know that their return policy permits you to return ANYTHING (except computers) with or without the receipt whenever you want as long as you still have the same membership. If you bought a pair of pants, as I did, and found that you didn't really like them but tossed the receipt already… no fear, just go back and they have it all on record. Yes, I bought these pants two months ago and had been meaning to return them for two months. You can also use this as a (semi-free) extended warranty – buy a TV or DVD player and if/when it stops working after four or five years, just return it! The only exception to this rule is a computer purchase and that return period expires after six months.
Update: Costco recently amended their return policy. Televisions, projectors, computers, cameras, camcorders, iPOD / MP3 players and cellular phones can only be returned within 90 days of purchase.
Don't believe me? My friend David bought a mattress from Costco and emailed them to find out their return policy on mattresses. In short, he could return at any time, at no cost, to a store or arrange with customer service for pickup if you can't get it to the store because of size and weight. Pretty sweet.{ 749 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

BATAVIA – A Batavia man has been arrested and charged with selling a quantity of pills containing a controlled substance to an agent of the Genesee County Local Drug Task Force, the Sheriff's Office announced Tuesday.
Investigators said Randy K. Wilmet, 35, of Franklin Street, is charged with fourth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, a felony.
The Sheriff's Office said a Batavia police officer arrested Wilmet Sunday afternoon, near the intersection of Bank and North streets, while the officer was investigating an unrelated matter. The suspect was taken to the Genesee County Jail, where he was held without bail.
The charge was contained in a sealed indictment warrant handed up by a grand jury.

ASPEN � Austria�s Kathrin Zettel held off teammate and training partner Marlies Schild to win a World Cup slalom Sunday, skiing a blazing second run on a course on which she is very much at home.
Zettel finished in a combined time of 1 minute, 42.46 seconds to edge Schild by 0.67 seconds on the course on Aspen Mountain.
Tina Maze of Slovenia was third in a race Lindsey Vonn skipped as she recovers from an intestinal illness.
Schild was seeking her 34th career slalom win, which would match the discipline record of Swiss great Vreni Schneider. She looked on her way, too, after a swift second run through a challenging course. But Schild was eclipsed by Zettel, the last skier of the afternoon.
�She was pretty tough to beat,� Schild said.
There�s something about the Aspen course that suits Zettel. She also finished second in the giant slalom the day before, making it a highly productive weekend. She now has eight career podium finishes at this venue.
Skiers raced on hard manmade snow.
�I don�t even know what to say,� said Zettel, who won her first slalom race since 2010. �Aspen is a great place for me.�
Teenager Mikaela Shiffrin of the U.S. was in the lead for a few skiers before winding up seventh. Still, it was another solid showing for the 17-year-old who�s from down the road in Vail.
Very rapidly, Shiffrin is making quite a name for herself.
�I�m just trying to establish myself as a competitive racer with all these other guys,� she said.
Shiffrin�s definitely succeeding, with some referring to her as skiing�s next prodigy.
�I don�t know what I am. I just know I love to race, love to ski and love to go fast. I guess let people think what they want,� Shiffrin said. �But it�s very flattering.�
Shiffrin was third at the last slalom event in Levi, Finland, a competition won by Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany.
Hoefl-Riesch wasn�t sure she�d be able to start after bruising her left arm during a crash Saturday. But she recovered enough to not only race Sunday, but race well, taking fourth.
Vonn is regaining her strength after a bad stomach bug recently landed her in the hospital. She competed in the giant slalom Saturday � finishing 21st � but clearly was winded at the end. She collapsed in the snow after her final run.
Her plan all along was to skip the slalom. The four-time overall champion is conserving energy for next weekend�s races in Lake Louise, Alberta, a venue Vonn has dominated. She won all three speed races there last season.
Vonn will have some ground to make up with Maze jumping to a big lead in the overall standings. Maze finished runner-up to Vonn last season.
So far this season, no one is skiing any better than Maze, who already has two wins, along with third- and fourth-place finishes.
�I�m feeling fit and strong,� Maze said.
�Everything is going well for me.�

More fuel-efficient vehicles aren't good news for everybody, and state governments are proving to be especially sore about the subject. Taxes on gasoline pay for state highways, and as fuel economy figures improve, the tax revenue that pays for highways is drying up. To counter this a bit, Washington will soon be charging pure-EV owners a $100 annual fee, since they also use the roads but would otherwise pay nothing for their upkeep. It will hardly offset the savings of owning an EV, and there is undeniably a logic to it, even if it does come across as mean-spirited when considering how few of these vehicles there really are.
But the situation is far direr for cash-strapped Virginia, a state where the 17.5-cent per gallon gasoline tax that was set in 1986 wasn't pegged to inflation. Combined with rising mpg figures, gas tax revenue isn't helping the state much. So Governor Robert McDonnell has a new proposal to fix this problem, which was published in the Washington Post, getting rid of the gas tax. He plans on raising the state sales tax, as well as the fees for vehicle registration. But there's another part which just seems odd. He is imposing a Washington-style $100 fee for plug-in vehicles, but is also extending it to hybrids as well. So even though the gas tax, the whole reason for the fee for alternative fuels in the first place, will be repealed, hybrid and EV owners have to pay anyway. This actually means that hybrid and EV owners will be paying more taxes for roads than the owners of gas guzzlers. And don't think you can get around it by buying an efficient clean diesel either, as the 17.5-cent tax will apply.
It's fairly amazing that someone could possibly try to sell this idea as fair, but it isn't law yet and it might not go anywhere. It remains to be seen if a more even-handed solution can be found.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were spotted together – again – during a lunch outing Wednesday with friends in Los Feliz, Calif.
The casual couple stayed true-to-form, both clad in black jeans (Stewart opted for cut-offs) and T-shirts. The twosome were "very much in love, lovey dovey, cuddling and smiling," according to an observer.
After spending nearly two months apart for work, Pattinson and Stewart were first spotted at a karaoke bar in L.A. before joining Katy Perry at her assistant's birthday party on March 20.

I use this pocket briefcase as my primary capture tool, and never leave home without it. I use it to write down ideas, questions, tasks, notes, reminders .... you get the idea. I use it throughout the day and then organize my notes into my "Home Base" (my Bomber Jacket Circa Junior).Opinions/reviews vary regarding the Pocketini Pen. I like it, but I use a Cross Classic Century (Classic Black) that I've been using for a long time. It's only a hair wider and a tad longer than the Pocketini, but works nicely.I definitely prefer the Bomber Jacket leather over the regular smooth-grain leather. Nice work Levenger!

I bought it to replace my older bomber briefcase and I thought one with pen will be a good choice. However I noticed couple of things with this new briefcase. First it is bit shorter in length. This makes the case fat if you put few cards (I normally have 10-12) extra and causes the platform NOT to stay flat. The other problem I have is with pen in the loop in the back, the pen pocket makes the case too tight as well hence you can't keep lot of cards like the older case I had.I thought there would be break-in time for this and the case will become flatter and comfortable eventually, but I have had it for some time now and it still is very stiff to write. This is disappointing since the idea is right, but execution is not so. I am thinking of calling Levenger and exchanging for the regular Bomber pocket briefcase.

Pros: great leather, houses the heavier note and todo cards, small size, sturdy surface for writing, pocket for multiple card typesMixed: the pocketini pen is a love hate thing, convenient but awkward to useCons: Maybe for a man's suit shirt this is ideal, but I carry this in my purse where I have room for a compact notebook (or a jotlet which I wish I'd seen instead and am purchasing today). It annoys me to no end that I can't completely insert a card between the top and bottom slot. Perhaps I have too many cards in it but if you can only carry 3 what's the point? I should have stuck with the notebooks that I love, but since there are no nice binders for the compact size I splurged on this when it was on sale. Huge waste of money and I'll never personalize anything again. A rare regret with Levenger.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Thank you for your review. I am sorry that the Bomber Jacket Pen Pocket Briefcase did not work out for your needs. I will send you a personal email on how we can take care of this for you. We want you to be satisfied with all items purchased from Levenger.

High Quality Low Tech "Device"
By CbytheSea
from Charlestown, RI
In this world of electronic gadgets, something quick and easy to use - with no training, manuals, batteries to charge, etc. required - can certainly be appreciated. Add to that, good looks and you have the Bomber Jacket Pen Pocket Briefcase. So far, I have purchased three of these: two as gifts and now one for myself. The packaging is impressive, delivery (even with personalization) was very fast, and the quality of the leather and workmanship is evident. The only downside is the price, but then, "you get what you pay for".
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Bomb!

First off, I love the look and feel of the Bomber leather and lining and am perfectly pleased yet again with another Levenger product!! This handy gizmo fits nicely in my St. Tropez Leather Pouch (that I also adore) but can easily be the only thing I take into a store with me since it holds dollar bills, credit cards, discount cards, coupons, errand/shopping lists that I cross off as I go, and pen. Speaking of the pen…I wasn't sure if I was going to like the pen given it's 4 sided design, but it is awesome--much better than I anticipated! Again, nice work Levenger!

I have other leather products from Levenger, but this one is my favorite. The leather is durable and supple. The perfect size to take anywhere. Every time I use it to take some notes, everyone asks where I got such a beautiful note pad.

By Ms. C

This was an extravagent purchase--but worth it! The bomber jacket leather is very soft. The number of pockets are handy for organizing my notes. The quality is excellent-I didn't expect much from the pen, but it turns out it is good quality and sturdy, though a bit uncomfortable to use. I will definately be purchasing other bomber jacket products...already its obvious that the leather will wear well with time.
Quality Useful Product

This my second pocket briefcase purchase. A most useful shirt pocket or hand carry notepad/pen depending on your attire. I really like the bomber jacket pebble finish, matches my bomber jacket zippered briefcase perfectly. It looks very stylish together. I own many Levenger products from pens, cases, to furniture and recommend any of their products to my friends. Levenger simply means its a quality product. A long time happy customer-JW

Still need to enroll? Here's where, when
Rockford-area agencies are hosting several extended-hour open enrollment events with counselors who can help people navigate the insurance sign-up process.
The following enrollment events are taking place:
Saturday: 8 a.m. to midnight at OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center, 5666 E. State St. (enter through the emergency department entrance); 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Kmart, 5909 E. State St., and 1 to 4 p.m. at the 1321 Sandy Hollow Road store; 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Winnebago County Health Department, 555 N. Court St.; 2 to 6 p.m. at Memorial Hall, 211 N. Main St.
Sunday: 8 a.m. to midnight at OSF (ER entrance)
Monday: 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Lifescape Community Services, 705 Kilburn Ave.; 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the health department; 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. at OSF (enter through the main hospital entrance).
Federal officials will offer some leeway to people who try signing up for insurance by March 31 but can't complete the process. If you try to enroll online, in person or over the phone by the deadline, you can ask for an extension that creates a special enrollment period through April 15.
The key is to start the process so you have proof that you tried, said Juliana Barker, coordinator for the in-person counselor grant program at the Winnebago County Health Department.
"Not everyone gets an extension," Barker said. "You have to be proactive and do something to qualify for extra time."
Barker suggested first visiting getcoveredillinois.gov to see if you qualify for the expanded Medicaid program or one of the health plans through the Illinois Health Insurance Marketplace. You can also visit healthcare.gov, but it might bump you back to the Illinois site.

CHICAGO — Illinois officials are planning late-night enrollment events at hospitals, a library and at Ann Sather, a popular Chicago restaurant known for Swedish pancakes.
Enrollment counselors will help people sign up until midnight Saturday, Sunday and Monday in the Chicago area, Mattoon and Rockford. At a call center in Chicago, operators will answer questions from around the state those three days until midnight. Meanwhile, a federal call center is open 24 hours a day.
The scramble to reach procrastinators — including a "last call" public service announcement from President Barack Obama — may push the president's home state to a federal goal of 143,000 enrollees for 2014 health coverage, or it may not.
That won't be known until mid-April when the Obama administration is expected to release figures for first-year enrollment under the Affordable Care Act. Even then, it may not be clear how many Illinois residents paid their first monthly premiums and were actually covered.
For now, Illinois officials are optimistic — and busy. They say they're on track to meet the goal.
"We're making sure Illinois consumers have every single opportunity to enroll before the deadline," said Jennifer Koehler, executive director of Get Covered Illinois, the state's online insurance marketplace. On Monday, the help desk received 7,647 calls, its highest one-day volume.
Koehler expects young adults to be the toughest holdouts. So far, 1 in 4 Illinois enrollees has been 18 to 34 years old. "We've really ramped up our messaging to that demographic, making sure they're aware of the free help available across the state," she said.
Meeting the deadline means avoiding financial penalties on 2014 federal taxes. After Monday's deadline, only people with limited special circumstances, such as a divorce or a moving to a new state, and low-income people who qualify for Medicaid will be able to get coverage that meets the federal law's requirements.
People without insurance can be fined either 1 percent of their income or $95, whichever is greater, when they file their 2014 federal taxes.
"Many people are unaware of the March 31 deadline and what it means to them," said Kurt Kossen, vice president for retail marketing for Health Care Service Corp., the operator of Blue Cross plans in Illinois and four other states. After Monday, some consumers might be eligible to purchase a short-term temporary policy, but it likely would have skimpier coverage and the consumer would still have to pay a tax penalty.
Others are responding to the tick-tock of time running out. "We've seen an increase in activity in the past couple of weeks," Kossen said. "Clearly there are some individuals who understand it and are taking action."
Page 2 of 2 - The White House has said it won't push back the deadline to sign up for coverage, but if someone has started an application, they will get some extra time to finish it.
Koehler said people shouldn't wait until Monday to get started shopping on the health insurance website or to get help from an insurance broker, agent or enrollment counselor. Many people are surprised, she said, by how many insurance plans they need to review. Most areas in Illinois have 30 or more plans being sold.
"We want them to know that if they want time to consider their options to talk with family, they shouldn't wait until the last minute," she said.

Five Ways to Avoid Big Mistakes with Big Data
Every so often a technology movement comes along that promises to change everything. Many say big data -- which can encompass anything from a few hundred million names in a census survey to billions of data points in a scientific research project -- is one of those game changers.
The big data push in government has spawned computing techniques to process vast amounts of information at speeds that make interpretation practical. They can capture meaningful intelligence, even from unstructured information, and apply the analytics that drive agency decision-making.
Still, advances in big data are in their infancy. A recent survey of security and IT professionals conducted by LogLogic and Echelon One showed 49 percent of respondents were somewhat or very concerned about managing big data, with 38 percent acknowledging they do not have a clear understanding of what big data is.
Here's how to avoid five common mistakes in managing big data.

This is a complex situation, and I don't think there is a particularly simple solution. The simplest short term solution might be to create a work page for each magazine. The problem with this, that Perlnerd666 brought to light, is the potential size of each category. For example, one periodical may have published as often as one time per week. Let's look at two possible solutions to this problem:
1. A majority of periodicals were probably not published once a week - so let's wait until the second solution to analyze this scenario. Most periodicals were published once a month, which means would be dealing with organizing 12 issues per year. I would not mind having a maximum of 60 issues category page, which means at this rate we are dealing with a 5 year time span. Since we have tabs, it may be easy for each tab to contain 5 years worth of periodicals. For example, one tab would be "1865-1870". Even this, however, could potentially generate an overwhelming number of tabs.
2. For works that have 52 issues per year (once a week) we might be able to implement some sort of accordion-type collapsible table. That would serve to organize all 52 without cluttering the work page what-so-ever. I'm not sure if this is technically possible as I'm not altogether familiar with MediaWiki, but it's something to possibly consider.
Another overarching solution to the problem is to create a non-category page for each journal (.org/Wiki/Name of magazine) that would contain direct links to the PDF. All of the information about the periodical would probably be listed in a template at the top-right of the page that I would need to create (infobox). Since the publisher information should be the same, it won't be necessary to have publisher information for each periodical except for the year (level 3 heading) and month (next to the PDF link). A table of contents would be necessary as well. The obvious problem with this solution is ease of submission. It seems as though the PDF files would need to be directly uploaded using the "upload" link on the MediaWiki sidebar. In addition, this is usually a frowned upon practice and might give the wrong impression to new users; consequentially, how about we consider this to solve both problems:
*We create a composer category page called "Periodical submissions" where any regular user can submit a scan of a newspaper, magazine, article, etc. Any experienced user can then transfer the article accordingly and delete the work page used upload the file.
As I've said before, I'm far from a librarian - and perhaps for good reason! Respectfully, Emery

Joey Eugene Gallegos was sentenced Friday to four years in prison for stealing underwear from an apartment complex in Greeley after reaching a plea agreement.
Gallegos, 39, pleaded guilty to second-degree burglary, a class 3 felony, and theft of less than $500, a class 2 misdemeanor, according to a news release from the Weld District Attorney's Office.
He was sentenced to four years in prison for the felony and one year in jail for the misdemeanor, according to the release. The two terms will be served at the same time in the Colorado Department of Corrections.
At the same hearing, Gallegos also pleaded guilty to driving after revocation prohibited and was sentenced to 15 months in prison, also to be served concurrently.
A second felony burglary case and two misdemeanor theft cases were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.
Greeley police arrested Gallegos on Aug. 1 after tying him to the theft of undergarments from a laundry room and apartments in a complex in the 1800 block of 30th Street. Inside his residence, which was a block away form the apartment complex, investigators found more than 350 items of women's clothing, mostly undergarments, all believed to have been stolen, according to the release.
While the charges against Gallegos may strike some as a laughing matter, police say Gallegos poses a threat to the community. At the time of his arrest in August, Greeley Police Chief Jerry Garner said the crimes Gallegos committed may show a tendency to commit more serious crimes against women in the future.
Deputy District Attorney Manuel Pellicer prosecuted the case.

In one horrifying instant on a road in Austria, Marcel Hirscher had to pick between ramming an oncoming car or a tree.
The reigning overall World Cup champion was going about 50 mph near Salzburg last May when a woman cut in front of him to make a turn.
Trees to the right or the vehicle � one was about to be hit.
At the moment before impact, the Austrian skier noticed a person sitting in the passenger�s seat.
So he treated the situation like a giant slalom course. He veered around the car like he would a gate and struck the tree in such a way that he only suffered minor bruises and a stiff neck.
Still, the accident changed Hirscher.
He�s now more calculated about taking risks � even on the slopes.
�I was so lucky,� said Hirscher, who plans to compete in the super-G and giant slalom this weekend at Beaver Creek. �I�m totally recovered, but now I�m thinking more about my whole life, like, �What does it mean?�
�I was just driving to a press conference that day, with no thinking about my life. Maybe it�s over there? Not maybe, normally it is over there. I really think different now.�
For instance, the 23-year-old used to give no thought to jumping off a boulder and into a lake. And now, before he leaps into the unknown depths, he will swim into the water wearing goggles and inspect the bottom, just to see if it�s safe.
He also double- and triple-checks the knots on the rope when he goes rock climbing and makes sure the tires are in fine working order before going dirt biking.
Overly cautious? Perhaps.
It�s just that the car crash provided a stark reminder for Hirscher not to take things too lightly.
�Look, something can happen anytime. I don�t know if the lamps are safe,� said Hirscher, staring up at the lights as he sat on a couch in a hotel lobby. �Maybe it falls on my head, and it will be over for me. These are things that can happen every day.
�But I�m not doing stupid things. Maybe risky things, but no stupid things.�
He won�t be holding back on the slopes. That�s not what he means.
After all, his risk-taking is why he won the overall title last season. Hirscher was so fluid in the technical events all season, winning five slalom events and four more in giant slalom. He also took the GS discipline title away from Ted Ligety of the United States.
In the opening giant slalom competition in Soelden, Austria, last month, Ligety won by 2.75 seconds, with Hirscher more than three seconds behind in third.
�Ted is incredible,� Hirscher said. �It�s always really amazing to ski with him.�
But that time gap � a concern?
�He made no mistakes,� Hirscher said. �When you watch the video head-to-head, I�m pretty close to Ted, but in the flat part, three gates before the finish line, I lost (time).�
Any thought it was due to some sort of hesitation quickly was dismissed by Hirscher�s teammate, Klaus Kroell.
�Marcel looks the same,� the downhiller said. �He�s the same guy. He takes all the risks that are possible. I think Marcel is just like last year. He�s good. If you�re not good, you�re not the overall winner. He�s a good guy and one of the best technician guys. Yeah, he likes to risk it all.�
Being from Austria, where skiers are revered, Hirscher became an instant celebrity after last season�s success. He just had no idea how fame would impact his life.
Hirscher can�t go anywhere without being mobbed for autographs or photos. Even when he goes shopping, he�s quickly recognized.
�They catch and want to hold me,� Hirscher said with a look of astonishment. �This is a point where I have to say, �I�m a normal person. I�m only on television. I�m normal. Let me be a normal person.� Sometimes, it can get a bit too much. All in all, it�s good to be an Alpine rock star.�
He is at that, too.
That�s why his accident drew such big headlines around his nation.
He was driving his Audi to an event for the 2013 world championships in Schladming. He had plenty of time to get there, so he kept the speedometer at a reasonable rate, as evidenced by the fact there was a trail of cars behind him.
The police told him that had he not swerved to avoid the collision, the passenger in the other vehicle might have been severely injured � or worse.
That rattled Hirscher.
�It wouldn�t have been good,� said Hirscher, who briefly was hospitalized. �I just decided to make a right turn, where there were trees. I was really shocked.�
When he hit the tree, he said the air bag deployed, leaving him with bruises on his chest and face.
Soon after, Hirscher let his fans know he was all right: �I am glad I reacted this way and didn�t risk a frontal crash. It all hurts a bit, but nothing too serious happened apart from some bruises and a headache.�

Hi Experts,
Please tell me how to create JDBC Connection for SAP HANA.
If you have the HANA studio installed in your PC, you should have the drivers for JDBC installed automatically.
Which tool are you trying to use to connect to HANA? Depending on that you do that via the tool or you can use the Windows control panel and create a system DSN or local DSN using the JDBC driver and then use that connection within the tool.
Hope this helps.
HI Mr.Rama Shankar,
My Server is running on LINUX system. Please tell me the step by step procedure for Creating JDBC Connection in LINUX.
Vishali Ragahava Raju.
Hi Mr.Manish Umarwadia,
I know those steps. But while creating Views i am getting JDBC errors. So I need to create JDBC connection. If you know how to create JDBC connection for HANA Please tell me the Step by Step Procedure. And my system is running on LINUX system.
Vishali Raghava Raju
Hello vishali,
you need to install the HANA client on your system first.
then you need to copy the ngdbc.jar file from C:\Program Files\SAP\hdbclient
and paste the same in C:\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\dataAccess\connectionServer\jdbc\drivers\newdb
Here newdb is the folder that you need to create under drivers and paste the ngdbc.jar file in newdb folder.
Now, you can create the JDBC connection as mentioned above.
Hope it is useful.
Hi Vishali,
As Neha mentioned,you need to install HANA Client in your client System where you installed IDT.
using the command ".......exe -a client"
This will install JDBC driver along with ODBC and ODBO
Then place the ngdbc.jar file under newdb folder as stated above.
Use IDT to create the Relational Connection and start consuming your views created in HANA Studio.
1) What application is going to connect to hana using JDBC drivers?
2) jdbc jar file will be used by ur client application so it should have some connectivity screen where u can give the path of ngbc.jar file.
3)you can also use other clients libs from /usr/sap/hdbclient dir for ur connectivity
Hi Jeet,
1)Almost all the BO Clients can connect to HANA using JDBC Connection.The Relational Connection in IDT can be created using JDBC driver and can be published to BOE Reporsitory.So that this can be used to consume HANA Data in Dashboard,CR,WebI or Explorer.
2)There is no connectivity screen as such.You need to place this ngdbc.jar file in the correct location(as mentioned in he above replies) and with the help of IDT Relational Connection option,you can mention the Host name and Instance number of your HANA DB.
3)When you install the HANA Client(using "....exe -a client" ),all the drivers like ODBC,ODBO and JDBC will get installed in the path you mention.So these drivers also can be used.
For Eg:AO(Analysis for Office) and CR 2011 use ODBC driver,Microsoft Excel uses ODBO driver.
Hi All,
I have gone through quite a few posts about JDBC connection to HANA. The only working answer received is creating connection using IDT's Database Middleware Driver Selection. i was wondering, Hana has been designed to work independently as database and for landscape in which no IDT is used, then how the connection to HDB will be done from HANA Studio.
Pardon me if it sounds stupid, but i think its a valid question for which i haven't found and answer yet. Please help me here. I don't have access to IDT then how am i supposed to create the JDBC connection. is it not possible?

Six candidates running for three seats on the Williamsville School Board all approve of the direction the school district is headed, but some of them have different visions for change.
Foreign language in elementary schools, better athletic fields and more vocational programs were among the ideas floated during a candidates forum held by the district's Parent-Teacher-Student Association Council on Thursday.
"We're staring down some pretty tight financial straits over the next several years," said Peter U. Bergmann, who is running for a full term after being appointed to a seat last year. "First and foremost, we need to maintain what we have." Bergmann, who is president and CEO of Sisters Hospital and has three children in district schools, was one of four candidates who said they want to see foreign languages taught in the district's elementary schools.
"Language is very important because it prepares students for the future," said Mohan S. Devgun, a professor at SUNY Buffalo State who was first elected to the board in 2010.
In addition to extending the district's language programs, Devgun said he would like to see the district expand projects to optimize operations, including the use of the Six Sigma efficiency program and solar technology. He also wants the district to create better collaborations with higher education.
Carrie Kahn, current board president, said she would like to see languages taught from kindergarten to 12th grade and said she would like to see more ways for students to earn college credits. "We have an outstanding fiscal long-term plan," said Kahn, executive dean of workforce development at Erie Community College. "It's not what I would like to see, it's that we should support the district in the implementation of that plan."
Michael Kane, a lawyer who graduated from Williamsville North in 2006, wants to build on what the district has already done, noting that schools have had to tighten their belts as state financial aid has failed to keep up. "We're starting to see that state aid come back," said Kane, who is running for his first term. "With the right direction, we can start to make the education better, enhance what's already one of the best educations in New York State."
Anthony J. Lafornara III, a teacher in the Buffalo Public Schools who has three sons in Williamsville schools, said he would like to see the district continue to grow its technology programs, and he praised an initiative in which all fifth-graders will have access to iPads next year. He would also like to see the district add more vocational programs.
"We still need to lead the way," said Lafornara, who is seeking his first term. "And infuse some more wellness, not just physical wellness, but mental wellness for all students."
Thomas J. Navarro Jr., a lawyer running for his first term, said he would like to see the district improve its athletic fields and said he would like foreign languages to be taught at an early age in the district's schools. "I believe foreign language is critical to a well-rounded student and provides another opportunity for students to excel," said Navarro, who has a fifth-grade child in the district.

As of the middle of November, key agricultural congressional leaders working to resolve the differences between the House and Senate bills were signaling, with a level of confidence, that a farm bill would be passed before the end of the year. It has taken far too long, there are far too many reforms, there are genuine and significant spending reductions, and it will solve international agricultural trade disputes. It will be one of the few actions taken by the Congress this year that achieves all of those objectives.
Oh, and by the way, next year is an election year. Members of Congress know they need to get this off of their plate.
Since the sugar provisions are the same in both the House and Senate versions, no changes are expected in our policy in the final farm bill.
Once the conference report is completed, American agriculture needs to lock arms and get this bill passed and signed by the President.

Two points:
1. NYI have a preseason game scheduled for Kansas City next year, so they have been hinting at this for a while.
2. Bettman has said that it is not a forgone conclusion that Detroit would move East, if a team moves West.
Posted 10 March 2009 - 11:47 AM
I'm not sure I really want them to move to the Eastern Conference though. I think they'd be more likely to sink down to the level of the Eastern teams rather than maintain the high level they have from being constantly challenged in the West.

They truly are that bad. But I think they're going to put together a decent season next year! With DiPietro hopefully regaining his health, he (IMO) is one of the best goalies in the game today. They have Danis who's turning into a fantastic goalie as of late, Okposo is only 20 and already a big offensive threat, and many other promising young guys. With Tavares potentially joining them, I think it would be a much better situation than Stamkos going to Tampa. NYI actually has some promise. Or maybe that's my false hope... but I love that team.
Wouldn't mind a move for the Isles but they really shouldn't suck so badly the next few years (fingers crossed!).

It's taking less time to get a college diploma
It's taking less time to get a college diploma
This may not be the case at all universities, but we suspect the trend is occurring at other institutions of higher learning. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, data from Chancellor Biddy Martin's office reveals that it is taking students less time, not more, to get their diploma. In a study looking at all freshman students enrolled at the University since 1978, research shows that the time needed to complete a degree took 4.33 semesters in 1978 and peaked at 4.37 in 1981. Since then, there has been a gradual drop — a positive trend — in the time needed to obtain a diploma. In 2003, it took students 4.1 semesters to get their degree. In calculating this trend, the UW team looked at students six years after entering the University.
Making this trend more impressive is the fact that more students are actually graduating. Going back to 1978, only 61.7 percent of students were earning diplomas six years after entering the school as freshman. That rate bottomed out in 1980 when only 60 percent got a degree. Since then there has been a steady gain in graduation rates which peaked at 82.4 percent in 2002.
So why is it taking students less time to get a degree when most conventional wisdom says that it is taking longer? We have two theories.
1. More students are coming to the universities with Advanced Placement (AP) courses. These AP course transfer directly from high school to college transcripts.
2. As tuition costs go up, students are taking more courses each semester. College isn't cheap, so get done as quickly as possible is the new trend. College judging team coaches confirmed this notion at World Dairy Expo, noting it is getting more challenging to find times to practice with their judging teams as course loads get more demanding.

Robert Moses might be the only person who wouldn't have approved. The parkway bearing his name is going to be torn out, ripped up, cleared away between downtown Niagara Falls and its northern neighborhoods. In three to four years, residents will have easy access to the Niagara River gorge for the first time in more than 50 years.
It's been a long time coming, but last week state officials agreed to remove what has proven to be a costly mistake: costly to build and costly to the City of Niagara Falls, which has been cut off from a natural resource that is nearly as spectacular, though less well known, as the falls, themselves.
As it stands, plans are to remove the parkway between the city's downtown to Findlay Drive. Whirlpool Street will be transformed into a low-speed, two-lane parkway along the lines of the one hugging the river on the Ontario side. The land where the existing parkway now obstructs access to the gorge will be transformed with native plantings and a multi-use natural trail that would feature hiking, biking, cross-country skiing and more.
While design and construction work begin on that two-mile stretch of road, meanwhile, debate will continue about the future of the stretch of road from Findlay Drive to Center Street in Lewiston.
Plans are either to transform it into a two-lane park road with a nature trail or turn it into a completely natural setting with vehicles traveling on existing city streets. Environmentalists prefer the latter while advocates for the Village of Lewiston, including State Sen. George Maziarz, D-Newfane, want to preserve easy access to the village for people visiting Niagara Falls. Either would mark a huge improvement.
The stretch of the Moses bringing tourists from Interstate 190 to Niagara Falls State Park would remain, but would soon include a lower speed limit and pedestrian access points to the Niagara River.
The parkway was constructed in the 1960s by New York's master builder, Robert Moses, who had a way of getting what he wanted, even when it damaged neighborhoods. The Niagara Falls parkway bearing his name didn't bring Niagara Falls low on its own, but it was a blow, even if it was done to provide drivers with spectacular views of the gorge.
The car was everything to Moses. He built roads and bridges to accommodate them, accelerating sprawl and leading to the manufacture of more cars that increased congestion that demanded more roads. He thought little of the people who lived in the areas where he built his transportational monuments, even to the point of cleaving once cohesive communities in half.
That didn't happen to Niagara Falls, but the community was cut off from its namesake river and a valuable source of recreation and commerce. We know better now, and while New York City may never be able to unburden itself of the Cross-Bronx Expressway, Niagara Falls will soon enough be able to reclaim its waterfront.
It's a long-hoped-for development that will make a difference in the lives of city residents and could also help to expand its tourist economy. Those are fine things.

CLEMSON — Football coaches at Clemson believe they have seen the future of college football recruiting, and they are concerned.
In an effort to simplify an increasingly complex and unenforceable rulebook, the NCAA has adopted a number of deregulation proposals involving recruiting that are scheduled to go into effect this summer.
There are two key areas of deregulation raising concerns. The most significant change will allow football programs to hire additional support staff — beyond the 10 full-time coaches — to assist in recruiting and evaluating prospects. In effect, creating full-time player personnel departments.
The second major change would allow coaches to send recruits unlimited text messages and mailings.
Said Clemson recruiting coordinator Jeff Scott: "Ten years from now, we're going to look back and say, 'What have we done?' "
Big Ten Conference athletic directors and coaches share Clemson's concern. They issued a joint statement against the deregulation measures.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney is afraid deregulation will lead to increased spending for athletic departments. He's concerned the deregulation could spill over to facilities, like new dorms for athletes.
"We've talked about saving money," said Swinney of the national conversation about athletics, "so this doesn't make any sense."
Swinney sees the biggest football programs pouring millions of dollars into beefed-up support staffs that will recruit and evaluate. Last week, Alabama announced it has hired former Clemson defensive coordinator Kevin Steele to be its director of player personnel, an NFL-like title.
"What's going to happen is these major programs are going to create personnel departments because everyone in your building can recruit," Swinney said. "You are going to have programs that already have enormous support staffs, now those guys are going to be able to recruit. Everybody is evaluating, recruiting, calling, texting.
"There's no limits."
That leads to another major point of contention — coaches will now be allowed to send unlimited communications to recruits after their sophomore years in high school.
Swinney predicts significant recruiting targets will now receive up to 200 text messages a day. And he anticipates major programs will hire full-time graphic designers to produce posters designed specifically for recruits.
"Everyone can spend their money where they want to spend it," Swinney said. "It's going to be crazy, It's going to make the gap bigger between the haves and the have-nots."
Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich said it is too early to know what might happen, especially since the NCAA Board of Directors still has several meetings scheduled before the changes are scheduled to take effect Aug. 1. Moreover, Radakovich said some of the deregulation will save money.
"There were an awful lot of costs associated with monitoring phone calls and text messages that may not be readily seen by the outside," Radakovich said. "You would save some of the dollars associated with that. I'm not sure all of these things will (be implemented). But if they do, I think there is an opportunity to save some money in some areas and certainly an opportunity to expend some resources in other areas that heretofore you didn't have the opportunity to do."
Swinney said the deregulation will force programs like Clemson to make a choice.
"I think Clemson is one of those programs that's going to have to make a decision on which way we want to go," Swinney said. "Do we want to continue to be elite or are we going to be satisfied with pretty good?"

SILVER CREEK – The 17th Annual Laurel Run in Silver Creek may be a sanctioned speed race for some runners, but for others it is a chance to honor their former track coach and have a reunion.
The race will be held next Saturday in Silver Creek. Registration starts early in the morning as both runners and walkers participate in the hilly village course. Proceeds from the race are used to promote programs in the community for persons with disabilities. The Resource Center, a well-known provider of services in the disability field, is the main sponsor.
Wayne Hotelling founded the race to promote awareness of programs for people with disabilities. A former track coach and high school social studies teacher in Silver Creek, Hotelling named the race for his daughter, Laurel, who has Down syndrome. It started with Hotelling running across New York State and quickly evolved into an 8K running race and 5K walking race.
Laurel turned 50 this year, and her father has announced that he would love to see 500 people register for the race in honor of his daughter's landmark birthday.
Mike Matesevac, a graduate of the class of 1989, will return for the event. He lives in Atlanta and said he plans his family vacation around the Laurel Run. This year, he expects to be joined by several runners who were coached by Hotelling during the championship years in the 1980s.
Matesevac said Hotelling was the kind of coach who encouraged everyone to work to their potential. He said the runners formed a bond. During his senior year the track team was undefeated in Chautauqua County.
After the group decided to run to honor Hotelling, they came up with the name "The Rusty Knights." The Silver Creek High School team was called "The Black Knights."
Paul Crino, a 1986 Silver Creek alumus, was a senior when Matesevac and other members of the "Rusty Knights" were running track in Silver Creek. Crino, who still lives in Silver Creek, said he looks forward to the event for the reunion with his former teammates. "Mr. Hotelling was a great track coach," said Crino. "He really made you want to perform. … As a coach, he always had something to say to make you smile even when his workouts were really tough."
Another group of alumni calls itself "The Creeky Knights."

#2. They Can Keep the Company Alive
Hey, here's another reason you want a frighteningly smart and competent boss: to keep your company and job alive. I know many of you understand what it's like to be out of work. After all, who but the unemployed have time to read a 2,000-plus-word column like this? (Oh, right -- stoned college students.) In any event, not having a job sucks. A lot.
Sure, your nice boss who never yells and doesn't expect too much from you because he doesn't actually know how to do things right is swell to work for, but how good is he at keeping the company and your job afloat? Whoops. Forgot to do the he/she thing on that last sentence, but it's getting exhausting to be politically correct. Do me a favor: Going forward, just pretend all the bosses I'm referring to are she-males.
Cracked Editor-in-Chief Jack O'Brien, or Jacqueline, to his employees who want to be fired.
But a Frighteningly Talented Boss ...
Not surprisingly, the skills that rise a half-talent to power and keep him (she-male) there are not necessarily the same skills that can keep a business successful. Some people -- be they clients or the general public -- want actual competence and results on occasion. Not often, but sometimes not all the hidden information, smiles and tricks can compensate for mediocrity. A truly talented boss can keep your bread and butter coming.
#1. They Make You Smarter So You Can Be the Boss
Whether they want to or not, bosses set tones. Even those who aren't leading at all still set an example. If you work for a half-talent who rose to power and maintains it through deceit and guile, you will learn to be deceitful and beguiling. You will learn to play your cards close to the chest instinctively, devoid of any understanding of what and why you're exactly hiding. You will learn to be distrustful. How to play games. And not fun games like Hungry, Hungry Hippos, either.
Hungry Hungry Hippos
Yeah, corporate games have a lot more lies and fewer marbles.
And maybe if you play every game and leap every shitty hurdle you will get to sit on the throne some day. But you still won't be good at your job. You'll just be a good successor to the shit boss you had. And you won't be someone creating a quality product; you'll just be creating more future shitty bosses like the one you've become. Maybe you're OK with that. I'm guessing most people are actually totally OK with that. And I guess I understand, because most people just simply don't have the raw talent to ever be anything other than that kind of a boss, and why shouldn't they get to have nice cars, too?
But a Frighteningly Talented Boss ...
The talented boss will teach you how to be good at your job. Your real job. Not the job of appearing successful. The job you're supposed to be doing, like managing a restaurant or being a lawyer or organizing a call center. Whatever. Even if they're assholes. Even if they don't actually care about teaching you. Just the exposure to someone who can do that job right and is open and up front about it will make you a better employee. It will give you a real skill set that you can take with you. It will give you the ability to become the boss one day. One who deserves the big office and pretty ficus plant. One whose intelligence and talent will create better employees and better future bosses.

Grilling in leaves
From BBQ Wiki
Revision as of 20:39, 15 November 2013 by Christine Porretta (Talk | contribs)
Another ancient method of grilling. Pieces of fish, chicken, or pork—or even whole quail—are wrapped in leaves and cooked on the grill or in the embers. One good example of the use of this technique is the Bluefish in Banana Leaves on page 307. The New England clambake, with its seaweed-lined fire pit, combines the techniques of grilling in leaves and roasting in embers.

Pickled Beets
½ pound kosher or sea salt
3 pounds fresh beets
3 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
3 cloves chopped garlic
3 tablespoons whole mustard seed
1-¾ cups sugar
1-¾ cups apple cider vinegar
pinch of red pepper flakes
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Cover the bottom of a rectangular cake pan with ¼-inch layer of salt. Cut the tops and bottoms off the beets, and place on the bed of salt. Cover the pan with plastic, then foil, and bake the beets at 300 degrees until soft (about 1½ hours). Remove the beets from the pan, scrape away excess salt and let cool. Using a sharp knife, peel the beets. In a saucepan, combine the ginger, garlic, mustard seed, sugar, vinegar and pepper flakes and bring to a boil. Add beets and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool. Beets can be used as a garnish, in salads or eaten as is.
Herbed Goat Cheese
8 ounces high-moisture goat cheese (can use French or local Amish cheese)
3 pounds cream cheese
1 tablespoon each dried thyme, basil and oregano (leaf only, do not use ground)
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh garlic
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 dash Tabasco
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
4 ounces drained artichoke hearts
4 ounces chopped Kalamata olives
4 ounces diced roasted red pepper
4 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix the garnish ingredients until combined. Add the garnish to the cheese mixture, mixing until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. Serve with crackers, crusty bread or as a salad garnish.
Maple Pecan Diamonds
(A kitchen scale is recommended for this recipe.)
For the crust:
1 pound white sugar
2 pounds butter
3 pounds all-purpose flour
For the filling:
1 pound butter
1 pound brown sugar
4 ounces white sugar
8 ounces honey
4 ounces pure maple syrup
2 pounds whole pecans
6 ounces heavy cream
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a bowl, using fingertips, combine the sugar, butter and flour until it forms a flaky dough.
Roll the dough to ¼-inch thickness, and lay into a half-size commercial sheet pan (12 ½-by-17-by-1 inch) and up the sides to the rim. Trim. Lay foil over the crust and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake at 325 degrees until lightly browned, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Gently remove beans and foil.
Raise the oven temperature to 350 degrees. In a heavy-bottom saucepan, bring the butter, brown sugar, white sugar, maple syrup and honey to a boil. (Chef's note: It's not necessary to stir the mixture once the ingredients are at a boil). Boil the mixture rapidly for four minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in pecans. Stir in cream until thoroughly combined. Spread mixture over the crust and bake until the mixture boils in the center. Let cool. Cut into triangles and serve.

Penn State and unbeaten Ohio State are both staying home for the college football bowl season, but it will hardly be an uneventful one.
Notre Dame is once again relevant, bidding for its first national championship since 1989. The undefeated Fighting Irish (12-0) meet Alabama (12-1) for all the marbles in the Jan. 7 showdown in Miami.
It's the most interesting game on this postseason's docket, but many others are in store as well. From this viewpoint, these are the top four, with date, site, and television listing:
1.) Notre Dame vs. Alabama, BCS championship game, Jan. 7, Miami, ESPN: Brian Kelly earned the National Coach of the Year award after leading the Fighting Irish, who started this year unranked, to an unbeaten season. Granted, the Irish survived a triple-overtime marathon against Pitt and benefited from an iffy goal-line call against Stanford. But Notre Dame also posted signature road wins at Oklahoma and USC. The Crimson Tide's lone blemish was a home loss to Texas A&M and sensational freshman quarterback Johnny "Football" Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner. 'Bama opened as an 8-point favorite in this game, but look for Notre Dame to make it a lot closer.
2.) Kansas State vs. Oregon, Fiesta Bowl, Glendale, Ariz., Jan. 3, ESPN: A pair of 11-1 offensive juggernauts meet in what should be a spectator's delight.
3.) Stanford vs. Wisconsin, Rose Bowl, Pasadena, Cal. Jan. 1, ESPN: Coach David Shaw said that his 11-2 Cardinal believes it can beat any team in the country, and after late-season wins at Oregon and UCLA, it's difficult to argue. Badgers - who have lost coach Bret Bielema to Arkansas - are a tough team to figure, looking shoddy one week and terrific the next.
4.)Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma, Cotton Bowl, Dallas, Jan. 4, FOX: Back in the day, the Cotton Bowl was one of the premier college bowls. More matchups like this one between the Aggies and Sooners, who are both 10-2, will help bring this game back. Manziel's emergence helped A&M make its mark in its debut season in the Southeastern Conference.

Women, Arrogance and The Next Steve Jobs
By Swathy Prithivi (Head of Corporate Development, Sonim Technologies)
In "Who Will Be the Next Steve Jobs?" in the Wall Street Journal, Vinod Khosla, entrepreneur and venture capitalist extraordinaire, lists two key characteristics of "would-be revolutionaries" — unbridled confidence and arrogance.
A recent tweet by Silicon Valley scholar Vivek Wadhwa says: "More than 50% of Silicon Valley is foreign born. Less than 5% women… A lot needs to be fixed."
To me, these things are the two sides of the same coin.

My husband and I have been friends with Ed for years.We do not believe this for a second.He is a very nice man.He was around our daughters who are grown now and he never once even slightly acted in a bad manner to them.I hope justice comes for him.This is so wrong.They need to find the right man.

Granted you may never truly know someone but when you live with them long enough you know them enough to know that they would not do something like this. Ed would never hurt a child, infact it would be quite the opposit. He would hurt someone for hurting a child. This injustice has hurt some many people and will continue to regardless if ed is found innocnet or guilty. Everyone out there know's that in the great old USA you are guilty and it's on you to prove otherwise. I pray the real monster is found before this innocent man pays for that crime he didn't do.

Not pretty
February 19, 2013
The economic report for the city of Williamsport is in and it's not pretty. Over the last year our unemployment rate rose from 7.4 percent to 8.2 percen....
Enigma, there are a lot of states that have a sliding scale, I just went with the highest percentage for every state. PA has a set rate of 9.99%, which is the highest percentage of any state, except, of course, Iowa's highest rate of 12%.

Mr. Weiss:
First off, let me say from the start, that I am appalled that you would actually have the nerve to write a "LETTER TO THE EDITOR" regarding this region's unemployment rate increase. This is brought on by the simple fact that you were a contributor to this statistic.
FACT...YOU ARE A 1/3 OWNER and PRESIDENT of DOWN UNDER TRANSPORTATON CORPORATION.
FACT...YOU TERMINATED YOUR ONLY EMPLOYEES (3) BECAUSE YOU FELT THAT OUR PROFIT MARGIN (37%) was not enough.
Mr. Weiss, you are a poor business man and you really should reconsider uttering anything in a public forum without first thinking of the consequences.
PS...I hope the Department of Labor has fun....

OK Mike, Iowa does have a higher rate. The data I was looking at had their lowest rate listed which is 6%, but very few would pay that. any business worth attracting would pay the 12%, which would mean they're not getting any new business there. PA's rate is 9.99 for all business, which is outragous and we will never attract new business with that. Chuck can't seem to understand the differnce between corporate income tax and individual income tax. Probably because he believes that corporations are people.

I frequently go the 'contact the mayor' page, not hard to find, and email Gabriel Campana.. he actually responded last time..simply saying "the roads that have been in terrible condition for 20 years is part of my plan to turn the city around."
But that's the problem isn't it? It's always "the plan" but in order for them to 'carry out' their plan, we've gotta reelect them 10,000 times..meanwhile they continue to raise our taxes and say "changes are coming".
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The answer is simple. Taxes. PA has the highest corporate taxes in the country and the US has the highest corporate taxes in the world. That means that PA has the highest corporate taxes in the world. That trumps nearly any advantage that locating here might have. Until we fix that, the economy here will be slow, even with gas drilling.

Mr Weiss,
Is it, could it be the paradigm of some of the people?
Admittedly, I moved from the area 30 yrs ago so I probably don't have a clear picture so please indulge me.
When the gas companies were trying to grow and find workers several years ago, the things I heard (both from gas companies and a few local Lyco people who were raise on a farm) was that they could not find people to meet the demands of the job. Drilling activities and all the supporting services take place 24/7/365. Many people only wanted to work 8 hr days, 5 days a week. They were not willing to work nights or weekends. They were only willing to work on their terms.
Your thoughts.
Of course so many manufacturing jobs have gone overseas, where people are willing to get paid a pittance and work long hours in undesirable conditions. How does Williamsport area compete with that?

Paul Krugman NAILS IT:
In the ongoing battle of the budget, President Obama has done something very cruel. Declaring that this time he won�t negotiate with himself, he has refused to lay out a proposal reflecting what he thinks Republicans want.
