Built in 1965 under the name Kennedy Pavillion, the Martin Centre has been the home of men's and women's basketball, volleyball, and the locker rooms for all sports. In 1986, Charlotte Y. Martin donated $4.5 million to finance remodeling of the arena. The main gym could hold approximately 4,000 screaming fans. Originally, Charlotte Y. Martin wanted "something for the girls", and had a sewing room built where the P.E. classroom and office now sits.
Currently the basketball programs have moved to the new McCarthey Athletic Center, and volleyball has taken over the main court.
In addition to the main court, this building includes administration offices, PE classrooms and office, an athlete weight room, the golf practice room, locker rooms, and the Rudolf Fitness Center.

When Tam Trong left home for school each day, she left her parents' world behind.
They were boat people, Vietnamese refugees who fled South Vietnam. They finally settled in Newbury Park when Tam was an infant. Educated in the public school system, she quickly surpassed her parents' limited grasp of English. When she needed parent-teacher meetings, they did the best they could, usually just a handshake. Tam did well in high school and wanted to go to college at Cal State University, Northridge. Eventually she needed someone to meet with college counselors as her advocate, an adult who knew about her and could give her advice. For the last two years she had worked after school, cleaning and cooking for a lawyer in Thousand Oaks. With nowhere else to turn, she asked him to be her spokesman.
"My parents wanted to support me, but I couldn't tell them. It would have broken their hearts to know they couldn't go — they just weren't up to it," Trong said. "I told Polly (a Cambodian student who also worked for the lawyer) and he did the same thing for her. I don't think she told her parents either," she said.
"That (story) is a great example of what we are trying to change," said Ventura County Unified School District Superintendent Stan Mantooth. "We want to get input from the English-learning community and our poorer populations, to talk to them about what they feel is important and what they need."
Mantooth is describing just one aspect of sweeping changes in the structure of the Ventura County Unified School District — changes that have been mandated by Assembly Bill 97. The school funding bill was proposed by Gov. Jerry Brown and passed by the state Senate in January. While the legislation created some angry debate, it passed easily. Brown's idea was to invest in California's future by changing how schools are funded. The biggest change was a promise to direct more money to the neediest students. It was seen as an opportunity to correct historical inequities by giving more money to students who needed the most support. Each school district can decide how best to spend the money.
Fourth graders at Hollow Hills Fundamental School in Simi Valley during a holiday program.
"The governor's concept of local control is that we are able to write our own script as long as we're serving those kids. It might be more technology or reducing class size. It could take the form of additional educational material, also targeted teacher development to make the teacher more effective in those specific groups. The local school boards will make those decisions. There is an accountability plan that spells out how we are going to spend the money and help those students realize better achievement," Mantooth said.
The budget provides about $70 billion statewide over the next three years. For K-12 schools the funding will increase by $3,400 per student. More money will be given to districts that have a higher percentage of disadvantaged kids. Those three categories are English language learners, low-income students and foster youth.
Mantooth explains the breakdown. "If you have 20 percent or more of students of poverty, or English language learners you get additional money. If your proportion is 55 percent of those students, you get an additional pot of money that is called a concentration fund. Those are the neediest students that we are to target our funds toward. We're going to lift all boats. Fillmore might approach 90 percent of students who are in the neediest category. They get the most money available, but it has to be used for those specific students according to the new rules and regulations just approved," he said.
Within Ventura County Unified, there are 20 districts. About half will be eligible for extra funding.
"It's really an interesting mix because the Oxnard plain, Camarillo, Santa Paula, you will see very high numbers (of disadvantaged students). In the east county, Conejo Valley, Oak Park and Pleasant Valley, that's going to be a different story. It is a tale of two cities scenario … the haves and have nots," Mantooth said.
School districts eligible for the most funding with the highest percentages of disadvantaged students are:
Santa Paula, 85 percent; Hueneme, 84 percent; Rio, 84 percent; Fillmore, 83 percent; Oxnard, 82 percent; Ocean View, 80 percent; Briggs, 72 percent; Oxnard Union, 66 percent; Somis, 65 percent; and Mupu, 56 percent.
The lowest percentages of disadvantaged students are in Oak Park at 9 percent; Santa Clara, 21 percent; and Conejo Valley, 26 percent. There has been concern that funding in these more affluent districts will be seriously cut by the new allocations. While the results are not conclusive, Mantooth said he is confident there will be no hardships.
The funding will be spent to improve very specific areas. The school climate is evaluated with attention to attendance and dropout rates, and students' healthcare will be improved. Transportation issues will be addressed along with school safety. There will be attention directed at parental involvement, with meetings and town halls set up between now and May. Classroom instruction will also be changed as student achievement and testing goes under the microscope. New class materials like iPads will be added and a new approach to curriculums with Common Core standards introduced. Also more counseling and teacher training will take place.
"My associate superintendent has three boys, and one of them is gifted. He took the test for the first time and he didn't pass it. He took the test a second time and improved measurably. Took it at third time and scored in the 90th percentile. So we have to be doing the rehearsal bit so the kids get used to the format and getting kids and their teacher to understand that," Mantooth said.
There is also an extra 10.5 percent of the funding given to grades kindergarten to third grade to continue class size reduction. About 20 to 24 to one is the standard. Of course these decisions are made outside the classroom. From inside the classroom, veteran Ventura County teacher Jock Scott has another perspective.
"When I started teaching 35 years ago, the fourth grade writing test was that you had to write a paragraph … an introductory statement, three supporting sentences and a concluding sentence. That's something they now expect second graders to do. When I started teaching, kindergarteners spent a lot of time learning to share and to play and move around a lot. Now teachers are expected to teach them to have beginning reading skills and write at least a sentence. Your average teacher kind of knows what kids need, but they end up spending a lot of time being told by somebody not in the classroom what kids need, and then they've got to figure out how to do that," Scott said, who now works for the school district as a home school teacher.
"I just talked to another teacher who was frustrated. She told me that Bill Gates is telling her she needs to use more computers and Sacramento is telling her she needs to change her teaching, and she wanted to know where she was going to find the time to do all that," Scott said.
"It works with the really enthusiastic, bright teachers, the ones in their 20s. But for most of the others, they get overwhelmed. The teacher retraining is the issue; it's adequate at best. I think it's going to be very difficult for parents because they are not going to recognize the work that comes home. It's great to get all the information, but you have to know how to think. Computers don't teach others how to think; I believe people teach others how to think. We need to translate more wisdom and less technology," Scott said.
Sue Moore works as a hairdresser in Thousand Oaks. She put three children through school there and now has a young grandchild. "We put her in preschool before kindergarten. It was three days a week and not cheap. Then she went to kindergarten and everything was supposed to be fine. I eventually found out that she was failing. I mean, how can you fail kindergarten? Anyway we agreed to get her a tutor for the summer so she could get into first grade. How can a 5-year-old be under that much pressure? I couldn't believe how different it is now," Moore said.
Supervisor Mantooth acknowledges Sue Moore's concerns. He said he must find a balance between what students are comfortable with and what a more sophisticated society demands, including new ways of testing.
Associate Superintendent Dr. Valerie Chrisman is in charge of the new type of testing. It's called Smarter Balance and she describes it as our first step into the 21st century. She said testing is just one of the eight areas that will be assessed to see how well the program is working.
"We are accessing different types of learning styles and a deeper kind of learning, instead of just multiple choice or memorization. Smarter Balance testing makes the students actually create something. They have to apply geometry to create a plan for a garden.
Chrisman explains that what's important is assessing the student's ability to actually apply the knowledge. The computerized tests will analyze the answer to a question and decide what question to ask next.
"Some students will get a more difficult question and some will get a question rephrased in a less complex way for students who need more language support. It makes students less bystanders and more intimately involved with their education. The teacher becomes more of a facilitator than a lecturer," Chrisman said.
No one disagrees that school has become more sophisticated. The Common Core standards are a new way of teaching that is supposed to help. But disadvantaged students might need more help. Lynn Okun is a therapist in Ventura who has seen the casualties of foster youth.
"I am an art therapist and I have worked with youth in the foster care system for the last 20 years. My job is to help them process emotions that translate to the classroom. They may need support to feel comfortable raising their hands in class and say, I don't understand."
Okun understands that there are different ways of learning. Often, children who have been neglected or traumatized have brains that are not functioning in the same way as they would had they been raised in families that were less emotionally stressful.
"A lot of these children will enter school and not be able to focus, to really take in the material in the same way. They may not be the happiest of kids, so it's valuable to engage them in activities and ways of learning that are enjoyable, to provide opportunities for success," Okun said.
The Ventura County Superintendent's Office is hoping for success and staff members are going into high gear. Chrisman said it's a very compressed timeline. "We have the rest of the winter and the spring. There is a template provided by the state to guide the plans. One of the most critical components is parent engagement. Over the course of the next two months you are going to see school districts holding a number of public forums and soliciting feedback in a variety of ways … even through social media. We want to hear from people about what they feel is important and what they need. Also how parents can be better equipped to help their kids. In June the final budget is adopted."
The overall change in California's education formula is going to take a long time to fully implement. The State Board of Education gives it eight years. Rules for controlling the money are constantly changing and it may look different by then. The proof will be in assessments and how well they can be evaluated. It's considered a broad experiment that shifts the responsibility of education to a local level never seen here before.
"Sometimes when you're on the middle of something you can't really see clearly. It's like we've shaken up a jar of water and sand and it hasn't settled yet," Mantooth said. "This year and next year are field tests; in 2016 it goes live."

You can research AquaLipo, which sculpts an already healthy body into a more desirable shape. You'll even find out about sleeve gastrectomy, a last resort surgery that physically reduces the size of the stomach.
If you want to learn more about the advantages and disadvantages of weight loss surgery, then feel free to scratch that research itch right here. There's no substitute for the power—and long term health benefits—of a proper, healthy diet and exercise program. However, for some, surgery may be the only recourse. Look over these options and find out the best choice for you and your weight loss requirements. Whatever type of weight loss surgery you're looking into, this page will give you a clear analysis of what's involved in this weight loss step. Have fun browsing these reviews and facts about weight loss surgery.

Shoulders Rocks Baker at Fitch Park
Rock Shoulders homered, singled and walked, and Garrett Schlecht ripped a two-out two-run double and walked, in a Minor League Camp intra-squad game played this morning at Fitch Park Field #3 in Mesa.
Because the Cubs had a day off from their MLB Cactus League schedule, Carlos Villanueva and Scott Baker traveled a half-mile down Center Street to Fitch Park and were the starting pitchers in the game. Villanueva threw three shutout innings (46 pitches - 29 strikes) and struck out five, and Baker allowed one run on four hits (the Shoulders HR the only run) in his three innings of work (36 pitches - 25 strikes).
Baker threw strikes but didn't fool the kids, however this was just his first actual game action (not including "sim" games) since having Tommy John Surgery on his elbow last April.
Barret Loux (who is technically still on the Cubs MLB Spring Training roster) made the trip to Fitch with Villanueva and Baker and threw a couple of innings, although he was not effective, allowing three runs on five hits and a HBP in 2.0 IP.
Rob Whitenack (optioned to AA Tennessee yesterday) had control issues in his two innings of work (31 pitches - only 14 strikes, with three walks). He also allowed two hits and commited a throwing error on a pick-off attempt.
William Hill (2012 NDFA - Chicago State) and Bobby Buckner (2012 NDFA Texas A&M - Corpus Cristi) played in the game. Hill is the grandson of Cub great Billy Williams, and Buckner is the son of ex-Cub (and current Boise Hitting Coach) Bill Buckner.

Not an inspired outing by Rondon. Seemingly got ahead of every hitter but had no swing and miss pitch today, slider had no bite.
Somebody give Soler some smelling salts - yeesh
And...now that runner scores on a single...
So where do you think Soler will be traded to this off season?
And right on cue he throws to third with no chance to get runner on 2nd so the batter takes 2nd easily. How long has he been playing baseball??
Man you cannot put Soler out there late in games for Playoffs. Yuch...
Such is the life of a fatted calf...
fowler with a triple in the 4th...he's a HR away from a "natural" cycle
...and contreras takes one off the hand and he's in obvious pain. sigh.
he's staying in the game, though he's wringing his hand out during breaks in the action. aside from that he seems to have no issue giving signs or tossing back to the pitcher.
...and he's batting in the cubs half of the following inning. sweet.
his collapse started on august 21st this season...so it's a slight improvement.
but wow, what a collapse since then...only 2 out of 7 can be considered good/decent.
I'm really going to enjoy watching Hammel watch the playoffs.
The always combustible Jason Hammel
Hammel :(
That was fun.
"home field advantage through the playoffs?"
Except for the away games.

CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. - From the same crazy folks who brought the Spazmatics, Love Fool and Tainted Love, comes the next tribute to the time when soft rock ruled. It's high time for a yacht rock explosion.
Mustache Harbor is a group of dedicated and talented musicians brought together by their astrological signs and a love for vintage soft rock and sweet stashes.
Formed in Northern California, M.H. is comprised of Steven Moon on keys, (who's spiritual experience as a limo driver for Michael McDonald fueled his desire to play soft rock.) Pat Vornado on bass (yes, that Pat Vornado. Russ "Solid" Gold out of Biscayne Bay, on drums. "Pretty" Rick Dallas on guitar, and Dan " the man" Kingsford on vocals, acoustic guitar and overall frontman.
The mission, the destiny, is simple, to build a mustache army capable of creating a soft rock explosion the likes of which has not been seen since the days when Christopher Cross, Steely Dan, Ace, Kenny Loggins and the Little River Band, to name but a few, created A.M. Gold.

Chronic Sinusitis
Chronic Sinusitis
"Chronic" means something that won't go away or keeps coming back. Chronic sinusitis is an ongoing problem with the sinuses. It can cause uncomfortable symptoms. But your doctor can help you find relief. Read on to learn more.
What Is Chronic Sinusitis?
Sinuses are air-filled spaces in the skull behind the face. They are kept moist and clean by a lining of mucosa. Things such as pollen, smoke, and chemical fumes can irritate the mucosa. Constant exposure to irritants can cause persistent inflammation (swelling) of this lining. It can also damage tiny hairlike cilia that cover the mucosa. Cilia help transport mucus toward the opening of the sinus. Damage to cilia keeps mucus from draining from the sinuses.
Causes of Chronic Sinusitis
Problems that irritate the mucosa or block drainage can lead to chronic sinusitis. These may include:
Chronic allergies
Nasal polyps, deviated septum, or other obstructions
Constant exposure to irritants, such as cigarette smoke or fumes
Common Symptoms of Chronic Sinusitis
Symptoms may include:
Facial pain and pressure
Headache and sinus pain
Nasal congestion
Postnasal drip
Reduced smell and taste
Sore throat
Diagnosis of Chronic Sinusitis
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. An evaluation will be done. The doctor will examine your nose and face. A test called an endoscopy may be done. During this test, a lighted tube is put through your nose up into your sinuses to view the sinuses. An imaging test called a CT scan may also be done. This test gives the doctor another view of the sinuses.
Treating Chronic Sinusitis
Treatment involves reducing irritation and inflammation. Your plan may include:
Taking medications. Medications may be prescribed reducing secretions and swelling. These help unblock the sinuses and allow them to drain. If bacterial infections are a problem, antibiotics may be prescribed.
Sinus irrigation (flushing with saltwater) may be suggested. This helps to clear out old mucus.
A plan to control allergies is helpful if they are present. This plan may include medications or allergy shots.
Surgery, in some cases. Surgery on the nose, sinuses, or both can improve sinus drainage or remove nasal obstructions.

Children's education is parents' responsibility
April 3, 2013
Effective public education in West Virginia begins at home....
No one would argue that a two parent home is not the best but when a spouse dies is the survivor suppose to give up his/her children? If that is not what you are saying, then just what do you mean?

" youre forgetting who pays for that "public money"." The exact opposite. Taxpayer money should not be spent on private businesses and private schools are just that.

My parents used tools that aren't available anymore. If I skipped school, I got a whoopin'. If I didn't pay attention in class...I didn't get a pill prescribed to me. I got a whoopin'. The experts say that doesn't work and it's bad. But I went to school and got good grades. I worked my way up to master's degree and a great job. We were dirt poor and my parents couldn't afford to stay home and monitor whether or not I went to school. I simply knew what would happen if I didn't. So though, I grew up in a poor household in a bad neighborhood, I became a productive adult because my parents cared enough to keep my in line.

If a parent decides that a charter or private school better suits their child's needs, why should they continue pay taxes for the public schools, buses, etc when they are not using it? Therefore, a credit voucher is appropriate. Otherwise, these parents are paying for a public service they don't use.

"I also think vouchers for private school should be allowed for those who seek to detach from the traditional school system. Charter and private schools are very successful." No public money for private schools. This only leads to public schools being left with all of the difficult students and the rest going to private schools.

Annette, I can't alter my business hours to suit every employees hours. I have customers that demand support during those critical periods. I'm already offering flexibility for Unscheduled leave and time off. That alone requires me to rotate other employees to fill the gaps. I'm doing my part as a small business owner. You simply can't continue to levy unrealistic requirements and blame on the all the parents. As the whining teachers say, not all parents are bad but all are dealt with the same. So continue to lock up and bash all the parents. Again, when I was young, I wanted to go to school and so did 99% of my class mates. What changed? Teachers, Administrators, bullying, etc all have contributed to our kids dislike of attending school. There needs to be solution designed by the joint circle of all involved. I also think vouchers for private school should be allowed for those who seek to detach from the traditional school system. Charter and private schools are very successful.

You can always give a go to what my mom did when she found out my brother was cutting school. For one week she walked him into school and to his homeroom. She told him that if he cut again there would be another week of walking him in.My brother told me it was so embarrassing that he never cut again.

I have to agree to an point however it be nice if the county got their hands on some drs who actually helped your kids the first second or say third time you take them they treat everything as a virus in this county for a week or two before finally addressing real issues parents have little choices sending children if they can't get them well. I have to add how they handle taken a child out or bringing in late for appointments it really doesn't provide parents with any options And im sure I don't need to address the group of parents who send their children to school contagious and sick because they have no care during those hours. Education starting at home yes it is our responsibility to send molded children to school and teachers enhanced their gifts but society has become more concerned about numbers. Better attendance better averages most students on honor roll. It really is a multi faceted problem. Alot is invested in behavior issues maybe parents could start there

Well Annette, what do you tell parents who have done everything but literally quit their jobs to ensure their kids make it to school. I have two emplyees who have taken all of thier vacation or leave time and stayed home to make sure the kids get on the bus? They have even gotten support from other family members to monitor the situation. So what does the parent do next? Put their teenagers in "time out". Right.....or quit their jobs and go on welfare? You people must not have any children, have perfect children or simply have no life. there are great parents out there trying to do the right thing but cannot satisfy anyone while staying within the parameters of the law. How about make school interesting and attractive enpough that kids want to go and learn. gee, what a wonderful idea. How about firing some of the teachers who dont teach!!!!

Education begins and ends at home. The public school system is the middle. Parents need to instill the importance of education in their children. I know being active in your child's educational process can be difficult, but it is necessary. We can't simply rely on "others" to ensure our children's education. Take a personal and active interest in your child's success. No government grant or program will help your child more than a concerned and involved parent. My two cents.

This editorial seems to be creating a mountain out of a mole-hill. It states the solution--enforce truancy or more for grievous violations of neglect.
It is worth noting that likely every one of these parents is the product of the public education we glorify as "the answer".
I suggest that we privatize all education (or at least voucher it)! And, then start separating educational institutions by gender and concentrating on the core curriculum. Then, you would see almost every problem with our current educational system disappear...

Ask Ben: Selecting From The Union Of Two SQL Tables
Hi Ben, it's me again... I have a MYSQL 5.X question for you: I have two tables - Table A: pru_properties and Table B: mls_properties. They have the exact same columns names, but different content inside of them since they get feed by different companies. The only matching column is MLSID. how can I do a CFQUERY for both tables using a GROUP BY MLSID?
I don't know much about MySQL, but I assume that it can do most the basic functions that Microsoft SQL Server can do, which is where I have the majority of my experience. As such, I can show you how to do this (testing it in MS SQL Server) and I am just going to guess that it is mostly transferable; afterall, isn't that why people choose MySQL? Because it is a free yet powerful SQL Server?
If you have two tables that have the same structure that you know is unique to both tables, the easiest method is to use the UNION ALL directive. UNION, on its own, gets the SQL Server to combine two queries into one result set. This can be a very slow process because the server will go through both result sets during the unioning action and try to eliminate duplicate records. By adding the ALL aspect, it signals to the server that duplicate checking is not required. This can greatly increase the speed of the unioning function.
That being said, if you need to run a GROUP BY on the resulting unioned table the easiest thing is probably to get the UNION ALL of two queries (one for each table) as the FROM table in the master query (the one containing the GROUP BY). Since, I don't have two tables in my system that line up like yours, I need to create two. Take a look at the example below - the first half of the code is just creation and population of two tables that simulate yours.
- <!---
- Query for girls whose combined pool uses
- two different source tables.
- --->
- <cfquery name="qGirl" datasource="#REQUEST.DSN.Source#">
- @girlA TABLE (
- id INT,
- name VARCHAR( 30 ),
- hair VARCHAR( 10 )
- )
- ;
- @girlB TABLE (
- id INT,
- name VARCHAR( 30 ),
- hair VARCHAR( 10 )
- )
- ;
- <!--- Populate the [A] table with three records. --->
- INSERT INTO @girlA
- (
- id,
- name,
- hair
- )(
- SELECT 1, 'Sarah Vivenzio', 'Brunette' UNION ALL
- SELECT 2, 'Julia Niles', 'Blonde' UNION ALL
- SELECT 3, 'Kim Doria', 'Brunette'
- );
- <!--- Populate the [B] table with three records. --->
- INSERT INTO @girlB
- (
- id,
- name,
- hair
- )(
- SELECT 7, 'Ashley Thomas', 'Brunette' UNION ALL
- SELECT 8, 'Maria Bello', 'Blonde' UNION ALL
- SELECT 9, 'Ellen DeGeneres', 'Blonde'
- );
- <!---
- ASSERT: At this point, we have two tables that have
- the same structure but unique data (especially the
- ID column). This is how we can simulate two different
- database tables.
- --->
- t.hair,
- ( COUNT( * ) ) AS girl_count
- <!---
- For our FROM clause, we are going to UNION ALL the
- records from each of our two tables defined above.
- We are going to use the UNION ALL (as opposed to
- just UNION) to make sure that the database doesn't
- waste time trying to eliminate duplicates.
- --->
- (
- (
- ga.id,
- ga.name,
- ga.hair
- @girlA ga
- )
- (
- gb.id,
- gb.name,
- gb.hair
- @girlB gb
- )
- ) AS t <!--- Alias the inline temp table. --->
- t.hair
- t.hair ASC
- </cfquery>
- <!--- Dump out query. --->
- <cfdump
- var="#qGirl#"
- label="Two Table Select"
- />
Notice that our FROM clause in the master query contains the UNION ALL'd SELECT of our two tables. This temp table is then aliased as "t" and the rest of the parent query can refer to "t." to gain access to that table. In my experience, the aliasing of the temp FROM table is required for this type of code to work.
Once we have this unioned table, I am then using a GROUP BY on the hair color and getting the aggregate count of the girls with that given hair color. Running the above code, we get the following CFDump output:
In my experience, both UNION and the UNION ALL actions are slow (with UNION ALL being somewhat faster). I am not sure I would recommend this type of action with any tables that have a ton of data in them. But then again, I hope that other can speak more to this sort of recommendation.

It may be worth your time to try the query both ways: SELECT of a UNION, and UNION of SELECTs.
SELECT a, b FROM (
SELECT a, b FROM t1
SELECT a, b FROM t2
) AS a
WHERE (c = 1) AND (d = 2)
-- versus --
SELECT a, b FROM t1 WHERE (c = 1) AND (d = 2)
SELECT a, b FROM t2 WHERE (c = 1) AND (d = 2)
It looks like you are just duplicating the WHERE clause to each table in the UNION, but you are also modifying the order of operations. Do you want to mash everything into one big pile and then pick through it, or do you want to pick through smaller piles and mash the results together at the end? I find the latter to be more efficient in most cases, especially for multi-processor machines, but YMMV.
Many RDBMSes will optimize the query to transform one into the other, but for large queries it's worth the extra few minutes of debugging to find out. (Especially since you aren't doing much more than cut-n-paste.)
Thanks. I was hoping you might swoop in and drop some good advice. I see exactly what you are saying as to where the filtering is done and where the unioning is done. Good stuff.
Thank you guys... nice and elegant way to do it.
I have a question about this JOIN:
I have "Table A" and "Table B" which now is a JOIN-Query with all data from both tables. Now, is there a way in which to tell the Query to overwrite fields of "Table B" with matching fields in "Table A" and no the other way around?.
I need to do this since the data from Table A it's more valuable and complete.
I hope my question makes any sence.
Thank in advance guys.
I just recently learned how to do just that - using a JOIN in a SQL UPDATE statement. I blogged about it not so long ago. Take a look here:
Hope that helps.
Ben's on the right track if you want to permanently overwrite the data, but what if you want to leave the source data alone and do it all within the query? That's a bit trickier.
Given tables A and B, where A is the more complete and useful table, with primary key PK and useful data column DD, your JOIN looks something like this:
COALESCE(a.pk, b.pk) AS pk,
COALESCE(a.dd, b.dd) AS dd
FROM a FULL OUTER JOIN b ON (a.pk = b.pk)
The COALESCE function translates to "take the first value in this list that isn't null". Since you put table A first, it'll use that data if it is available, and only use B if A is not there.
If your system doesn't have FULL OUTER JOIN, you could do it like this:
SELECT pk, COALESCE(MIN(dda),MIN(ddb)) AS dd
SELECT pk, dd AS dda, NULL as ddb FROM a
SELECT pk, NULL AS dda, dd AS ddb FROM b
) AS c
GROUP BY pk
That's doing the same basic thing, but you're letting the GROUP BY handle the key-matching instead of the JOIN. Of course, this only works if you have a unique PK and aren't looking for multiple rows with the same PK.
If you don't like the GROUP BY solution and want to stick with a JOIN, there's a another option if you can't do a FULL OUTER JOIN:
SELECT a.pk, COALESCE(a.dd, b.dd) AS dd
FROM a LEFT OUTER JOIN b ON (a.pk = b.pk)
SELECT b.pk b.dd
FROM b LEFT OUTER JOIN a ON (b.pk = a.pk)
WHERE (a.pk IS NULL)
That's a bit trickier -- the first query gets everything from A, including all of the matches in B, while the second gets everything in B that doesn't have a match in A.
Nice!... next question will be "...is there anything, that you don't know how to do it...?" ja!
Thanks again Ben.

It's pretty easy to get into the comparing and judging game when it comes to parenting.
You may compare yourself to the moms at preschool whose kid can tie their own shoes. You may judge the mom with the screaming child at Target, wondering why she didn't stay home so the toddler could get a nap.
The truth is, us mommys have good days and bad days. Sometimes, we achieve utopia – we got enough sleep, the kids are content all day and we manage to get three healthy meals on the table. It's right to feel good about that.
Other days, we are in survival mode. We've lost our temper too often, the kids are whiny and we just can't quite pull the meal/grocery shopping magic off, so it's chicken nuggets again.
Unfortunately, we focus on the latter and rarely celebrate the former.
Everybody has parenting fails. We are less-than-perfect people parenting less-than-perfect children. That's real life.
I believe if we spent less time researching parenting techniques and more time talking to the parent next to us, we'd find out that we're not as bad as we think. We might even become confident that our kids will survive their formative years without severe emotional scarring.
But you have to surround yourself with friends who are willing to be transparent. So, just in case you don't have any of those people in your life, I'm going to offer up some of my real mom moments from this last month.
-- Announcing that I am done being mom for the rest of the day and I just want to sit on the couch.
-- Forgetting to buy a snack for snack and share day at school.
-- Telling my daughter that I was answering important emails but instead I was playing cribbage with my new app.
-- Telling the kids to dig school uniform pants out of their hampers because I didn't get around to doing laundry.
-- Letting the kids watch a whole season of "Master Chef" in a weekend (that's 20 hours of TV) because I wanted to see who won.
-- Not having an answer at least three times in the last week when they ask what's for dinner.
-- Letting one of my children sleep in the school shirt she plans to wear the next day (this does bother me, but it speeds up our morning, so I let it slide.)
-- Allowing my kids to do craft projects in bed after I tuck them in because I am too tired to deal with it (one of them told me she was going to make a sweater – I didn't ask questions).
-- Answering my children sarcastically, then reprimanding my kids for doing the same thing to each other.
-- Threatening my youngest daily that I will cut off her hair if she doesn't let me comb it.
Yes, I realize that I'm opening myself up to judgment here. But if I've made one mom feel better about herself today, then it was worth it.
What about you? Any real mom moments you'd care to share? Leave them in the comment section on the Greeley Moms Facebook page.

remains to be seen exactly how much mankind understands the science
of climatology. While global climate models continue to be produced,
disproved, corrected, and debated in the administration, there is
still some solid research being done. And that research keeps showing
that there's a possibility that climate science is missing large
tracts of data it needs.Recently DailyTech reported
on research concerning the Bering
Strait and how this comparatively small geological formation
might be responsible or at the least involved in the regulation of
the North American temperature via ocean currents. Oceans have been
understood to partially control temperatures and overall climate for
years, but marine science has only recently been getting any media
time with all the political hubbub over the global climate change
debates.A multi-institutional research team, led by Fiamma
Straneo, a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution physical
oceanographer, has been studying
ice loss in Greenland, particularly in the Sermilik Fjord, which
connects the Irminger Sea to the Helheim glacier. The last decade has
seen accelerated ice loss in Greenland -- the Helheim glacier has
already retreated by several kilometers.Unfortunately, the
area has not been monitored regularly for long enough to perfectly
reconstruct the ice melts before the recent accelerated melt, but a
combination of ship and moored survey data, combined with temperature
and depth data taken from the radio collars of hooded seals in the
area have allowed them to piece together just how quickly things can
change.They found that changes in the North Atlantic ocean
currents have been bringing much warmer, subtropical water further
and further north. Water as warm as four degrees celsius was found
during the time data. That warm water combined with swift current
propagation has enabled the massive uptake in Greenland's glacial
ice. The warmer water quickly moves through the fjords, taking away
with it the melted ice and keeping the temperatures relatively
warm.Straneo explains, "This is the first extensive
survey of one of these fjords that shows us how these warm waters
circulate and how vigorous the circulation is. Changes in the
large-scale ocean circulation of the North Atlantic are propagating
to the glaciers very quickly — not in a matter of years, but a
matter of months. It's a very rapid communication."She
goes on to stress how little is known about ocean-glacier
interactions and that continuous observation will be extremely
important in coming to a full picture of how they affect each other
and sea-level regulation. It is also likely that understanding how
these entities cooperate will help understand how the ocean currents
and sea ice as a whole may affect regional and global climates. A
rapid influx of cool, fresh water could serve to disrupt the global
ocean current system, known as the Ocean Conveyor even as the area
appears to be warming.

quote: From 1995, the trend is so weakly positive as to be statistically meaningless.
quote: The phrase "there has been no statistically significant warming of the planet in 15 years" is accurate. Period.
quote: You also conveniently ignore the fact that GW modelers predicted strong and rapid warming from 2000-2010. Instead, the only data we have shows a negative trendline. Care to explain that one away?

For the sixth consecutive year, 6th and 7th grade students at East Cooper Montessori Charter School (ECMCS) have ventured into the local business community for a week of education on the basics of running a business. This is not the traditional job shadowing where a student follows a professional. ECMCS students get down and dirty in their respective professions. They are expected to perform jobs while on site and then write a thesis on the experience.
Laura Cicarelli interned in the marketing department of the College of Charleston where one of her activities was to summarize multiple articles for publication in a magazine.
Jacy Fletcher gardened, cleaned, stocked, organized and operated the cash register while working at the Sweetgrass Ace Hardware. "I think I did almost every job there," she said.
Jacob Ericksen sorted diamonds, engraved jewelry and organized the stock room for the family-owned jewelry store, Joint Venture. Ellen Rickenbaker, owner of Joint Venture, commented, "It was interesting to see our world through Jacob's eyes. Those tasks we considered rote were of most interest to him."
Caitlin Maher taught workouts and designed workout sessions for clients during her week at Next Level Fitness.
The ice and snow interrupted some of the internships, but the students persevered!

Last week's 30-6 win at Central Cambria was the most complete performance the Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic High School football team has put together this season, and it looks like the Marauders might be peaking.
However, maintaining your peak performance is harder than reaching it. Guilfoyle coach Justin Wheeler is very much aware of that.
"As a coach, I think that's one of the things you worry about all the time," Wheeler said.
The Marauders will see it they can continue to play at a high level and try to run their winning streak to six games on Saturday afternoon when they travel to Johnstown to face off with Westmont Hilltop at 1 p.m. The Hilltoppers are winless but Wheeler is among those throughout the regional that think Westmont is a much better team than their record shows.
"Last year, we thought we had a pretty good team. Westmont came in and ran it right at us. They put us back on our heels for the better of a quarter," Wheeler said. "Most of their skill guys are back. They're looking for a breakout game."
Wheeler, though, feels confident his players won't be susceptible to any major letdown. The Marauders, at 5-2, currently are in position to host a District 6 Class A playoff game. If they can win out, they might finish in one of the top two spots, which would have them playing at home all the way through the district finals should they get that far.
"We've had a great week of practice. These guys really seem into it. The watch more film than any team I've been around. Indications are they're taking every team seriously," Wheeler said.
"This is a special group of guys," Wheeler added. "They had high aspirations at the beginning of the season. It's been more contagious - the better they play, the more they want to play, the more they want to continue to play. They've been focused at practice."
Although the bulk of his roster - especially high-profile skill position players - are underclassmen, Wheeler said he's gotten important contributions both in play and in intangibles from seniors like center-defensive tackle John Taddie, offensive tackle-linebacker Rob Luciano, place-kicker Jared Verba and defensive end-running back Nick Little.
Little has 19 tackles for loss and 11 sacks.
"There are some kids [in the senior class] that are definitely contributors in a big way," Wheeler said. "Most of them are lead-by-example kind of guys. They're hard-working kids in the weightroom and on the field. They're well-respected, but they're not really the scream-and-holler kind of guys."
Of course, Guilfoyle has several younger standouts. Sam McCloskey leads the team with 432 yards rushing, quarterback Brandon Chadbourn has 728 yards in total offense, and tight end Matt Gormley has registered a team-high 15 receptions.
"Sam McCloskey has already started 25 games as a junior. These kids have been playing a lot of football since freshman year, when they were thrown into the fire pretty quickly," Wheeler said.
Chadbourn ran for 150 yards last week as Guilfoyle improved to 5-2 by topping then-once-beaten Central Cambria.
The Hilltoppers have been in a number of their contests before falling out of contention in the second half.
"The kids have been great, surprisingly. They've worked hard," Westmont coach Pat Barron said. "The problem for us comes down to defense. If we swarm and aren't arm-tackling, we can be a pretty good football team. We haven't done that the last couple of weeks."
Hilltopper running back Sam Curry has 747 yards on the ground, while QB Liam Moran has thrown for 647 yards and completing more than 54 percent of his throws. Colin Barron has 30 catches.
Moran missed last week's game with Richland because of injury and is questionable for Saturday. If he can't go, Curry probably would move to quarterback.
"We're going to have to match their intensity. They're a big-time, physical bunch," Coach Barron said. "If we don't, it will be a long day."

By Martin Naparsteck
BELMONT – It sounds like it shouldn't be easy to find, one of those you-can't-get-there-from-here places. And indeed, Pollywogg Holler is out of the way. Being out of the way is one of the reasons you go there. To get away. From civilization.
If you're lucky, your cellphone won't work when you get there, and there's no television. After you park, there is still a walk through woods before you get to the place. Smart visitors will make that walk last up to half an hour, so they can look at the hundred or so sculptures scattered throughout the woods leading to the lodges.
Lodges? Well, yes, some of them are lodges. Others are lean-tos, with one side exposed. Most of the lodges, in fact, are small cabins.
Pollywogg Holler is an eco-minded getaway, where guests can spend a few days, or come just for a few hours.
But if you are someone who needs modern toilet facilities, be aware the choice of most visitors is any out-of-the-way tree or an outdoor urinal attached to a post. If you're staying in the sauna lodge and it's late at night, you just go out on the narrow back porch and ... Well, you can figure out the rest.
And if you're female, and also in the sauna lodge, you lift up this board on the porch and ... Well, again.
There is also music, some of it recorded, some of it live. Much of it sounds like it's left over from the 1960s.
And there are four cats (America, Margaret, Liberty and Battle Racket). They may expect you to share the pizza with them. After all, they live there and you're just a visitor.
The pizza is what draws many visitors. It starts at $7, and goes up a few dollars for some offerings, and when you see it and realize it's only about 11 inches in diameter, you may think the price a bit high. But this is pizza made in a wood-fired oven, with a thin, flaky crust, and one bite will convince almost anyone that they might have actually underpaid. The book "Weird New York" calls it "the best place ... to eat in New York State." The book is almost right.
But you can't get pizza just any day. It's available from 5 to 9 p.m. on Wednesdays and from 1 to 6 p.m. Sundays.
The sculpture garden is open from 1 to 4 p.m. seven days a week. Visitors can walk around for free. Mostly the sculptures are modernistic, some made from recycled objects. You'll see a big yellow disc with something red and something blue sticking out of it. And a big truck tire perched atop a tall yellow pole.
And there are lots of pieces of rusted metal that, if you came across them while hiking in an ordinary woods, you might think were parts of some abandoned machinery.
But collected together, you start to appreciate the sculptures, start to see that the shapes are interesting and the cumulative impact pleasing. Most of the works were created by people at New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University, about six miles away.
If you're traditionally minded when it comes to art, you will probably most like a white statue of an angel, affectionately called, by folks around here, Our Lady of Pollywogg Forest.
Pollywogg Holler is the creation of Bill and Barb Castle, who first visited the site in 1976. Eleven years later they opened the eco-resort. They built just about everything themselves, and they sell their handmade rustic furniture and other items at fairly ritzy prices.
To appreciate the artistry that went into it, just take a long look at the wooden door at the entrance to the Sauna Lodge. The carvings at first just look like leaves or flourishes. But after a few moments you realize you can read it: "Bathe Often Never Hurry."
If you don't want to hurry – and of course the whole place exists for the non-hurrying kind – you can stay for a few days or longer, starting at $110 per person per night, for lodging and two meals. For more details, visit their website at www.pollywoggholler.com.
For overnight guests, the menu will offer things like stuffed portabella mushrooms, vegetarian lasagna, Cornish hen, a buffet-style breakfast and a bunch of other delectable edibles.
If you go in the winter, there are many state forests around for cross-country skiing. You'll pass Palmer's Pond State Forest as you drive down South Road. If you wait for warmer weather, the same trails can be used for hiking.
If you go
Take any convenient route south to Interstate 86 (Southern Tier Expressway, formerly Route 17). Go east to exit 32 (West Almond). At the end of the ramp you come to a T; turn left. Go to the bottom of the hill and there will be a blue metal building (West Almond Highway Department) on your left. Turn left after the building, and you will quickly come to a fork in the road. Go right on South Road. It's gravel. In about 2½ miles you'll come to the Pollywogg Holler office on your right. Go about 100 yards more and there will be a small parking lot on your right. It holds about three cars. Park there or along the road. You'll see a geodesic dome. Walk through it and follow the trail through the woods. In about 10 minutes you'll come to the main lodge. The address, if you use a GPS, is 6240 South Road, Belmont.

Usually a guy is looking to earn the approval of his girlfriend's parents, but for Amanda Seyfried, we bet scoring her pet's okay is probably the more prudent route – and it seems Justin Long got the message.
On Wednesday, the actress posted a sunset photo of her dog, Australian shepherd Finn, snuggling a mystery man (though we have our guesses as to who it could be). In recent weeks, the Lovelace star and Long have been spotted on more doggy dates, leaving us to assume that Finn is as smitten with his mom's new beau as she is.
"[He's] someone separate from my industry life. I've known him since he was 16," Seyfried revealed of her then-new man in the July issue of Elle, which hit newsstands about a month before she and Long went public. Though we're unsure if Seyfried was referring to the actor, who previously dated Drew Barrymore, there's one individual's official comment we're eager to read: Finn's.

A 25-year-old man linked by DNA evidence to a sex act against a six-week old infant has pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal sexual act, the Erie County District Attorney's Office announced Tuesday.
Jason Salois, no address available, faces 25 years in prison when sentenced by Erie County Judge Kenneth F. Case on April 2.
Salois admitted to sodomizing the infant on Jan. 4, the District Attorney's Office said.
Salois was remanded to the Erie County Holding Center pending his sentence.
District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III credited the Buffalo Police Department's sex offense squad.
"Because of their excellent police work a depraved degenerate will be in prison for a lengthy period of time," Sedita said.

Me and Han Solo Down by the SchoolyardWhit Honea
I had the vest, the pants (any pair of pants would do), the hair (kind of), and the intent to swagger: I was a first grade Han Solo, and the galaxy never knew what hit it.
It was early in the Star Wars universe. Darth Vader hadn't turned in the dark side for daddy blogging, Luke still had a shot with his sister, and Han Solo still shot first. I spent my days beneath the shade of a brick wall and stocky third graders, planning our rebellion, and trading bubblegum cards like so much jailhouse currency.
We never could have known that the reach of Star Wars would stretch well beyond our childhood years and swaddle itself accordingly around kids of our own, but we always figured it would. Some things are meant to stay.
It has been well documented by every parent with a mouth how much their kids love Star Wars. In fact, the family bonding opportunities created by the multigenerational pop culture juggernaut were powerful enough to lift the voices of countless singing Padawans high above the ether and into the good graces of Disney, which, among other things, immediately put the chocolate of my youth squarely inside the peanut butter of my now (or vice versa). Needless to say, I was pretty excited.
And then the announcements came from galaxies as far away as Burbank and just outside San Francisco, more Star Wars movies are coming, and the story of Han Solo would, possibly, be one of them.
My thoughts on the matter are somewhat torn. On one hand, I am thrilled to see anything with Han Solo make it to the big screen, but the chance that he may have grown up next to a young Jar Jar Binks fills me with terror. Luckily, Disney has done right by Muppets, Avengers, and Munchkins, so I really have no reason to doubt they will show the same respect for our lovable scoundrel.
But that's not all! I just read on the Daily Express (not to be confused with Honea Express) that the new Star Wars trilogy being directed by J.J. Abrams has signed Harrison Ford to reprise his role as Han Solo. Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) and Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) have reportedly agreed to return as well.
I think I'm going to need a bigger vest. And some more bubblegum cards.

Free Admission to Museums from Bank of America Museums on Us
For thirteen years, Bank of America has put together their Museums on Us program where account holders get access to art and cultural institutions all across the country. They add more museums, aquariums, and cultural sights each and ever year. This year, the program includes 150 institutions in 85 cities, which means you can get into more places for absolutely free (this includes Merrill Lynch customers, which Bank of America acquired in 2008).
The participating institutions include the whole spectrum, in terms of popularity, and most notably include the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Seattle Art Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, the New York Aquarium. My current fair state of Maryland only boasts two participating institutions – The American Visionary Art Museum (I went to a wedding here recently and it's a pretty cool and wacky museum!) and the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture.
To find out what institutions are participating in your area, you can search the Museums on Us site for more information.
Some fine print for you:
To qualify for Museums on Us, customers simply present their Bank of America or Merrill Lynch credit or debit card along with a photo ID to gain one free general admission to any participating institution. Not valid for special exhibitions, fundraising events or ticketed shows. Not to be combined with any other discounts or offers. Free admission does not guarantee reservation. Offer valid the first full weekend of each month through December 3-4, 2011

Stop proselytizing in public schools
Joelle Silver is not to be commended for what she deems freedom of speech. What she is doing is neither inspiring, nor the encouragement of sound values and principles in students. While I am not able to definitively say what she is thinking in these actions, she is going against the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. If she wants to act in this manner in a public classroom, she is wrong. Let her do this in a Christian school, where parents send their children to contain them in a religious environment of their choosing.
Public school children of different faiths and sects should not be exposed to any type of authoritarian pressure or class peer pressure on an emotional subject that may not be to other parents' liking. Religious tolerance doesn't just consist of letting others possess beliefs of their own, but also, not inflicting them with your own beliefs.
In my lifetime, there has been a religious force-feeding of the public by shortsighted and emotional individuals, politicians and organizations; including adding "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance by the Knights of Columbus and political allies, and adding "in God we trust" to our paper currency.
We have individuals and organizations seeking to set up crèches and 10 Commandment tablets on public property in the name of religious freedom. When will people recognize the difference between religious freedom and religious zealotry? Most of the people immigrating to this country came to escape the sanctions imposed by the religious sect in power at the time.
I don't care what or even if you believe. Just leave the rest of us alone with our own private thoughts, and let your so-called freedom of speech evangelism be conducted without public expense in a private place.

He deserves a Cup, I don't think he will stay in Calgary if they don't make the playoffs
He wont stay. They don't want him and he doesn't want to stay... APPARENTLY. Rumour has it they want to rebuild and he doesn't/doesn't think he'll fit. I'd love him here.
Iggy is my favourite along with Vinny. Best days are behind them both but still love them. Vinny mainly for sticking with a sunbelt team (even though they are pretty good) and for all the work he's done in the community (children's hospital and all). Both just seem like guys I'd have a drink and a laugh with.

I will be teaching a series of Crazy Quilt Classes this February at Countryside Fabrics.
I've taught this class several times throughout the years. It is my most popular class.
It is a great way to use up scraps and all the embellishments are so much fun to learn.
If there is enough interest another class will be scheduled so if Saturdays don't work for you let me know and we can schedule a weekday or evening.
Class #1 February 2 10:00-12:00
This class covers all the basics of block construction.
Class #2 February 9 10:00-12:00
Embroidery 101. We will learn and practice some of the most common embroidery stitches to make those seams beautiful.
Class #3 February 16 10:00-12:00
Silk Ribbon Embroidery is beautiful. It works wonders for crazy quilts and is also a nice addition for little accents in signature blocks, labels, apparel, and so much more.
Class #4 February 23 10:00-12:00
Beading! You will be amazed how much is added when you sew on a small bead. We will cover the proper techniques for sewing beads so they stay on your quilt and look at combinations that will make your crazy quilt a real piece of art.
Send me an email for a class bring list or if you have any questions.
