The deadly fungal meningitis outbreak linked to tainted steroid shots has now claimed 24 lives and sickened more than 325 people.
The tainted shots came from a Massachusetts compounding pharmacy. Now Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said the state is taking steps to make sure another outbreak does not occur.
"The Pharmacy Board will immediately start periodic, unannounced inspections of compounding pharmacies that prepare sterile, injectable medications such as those directly linked to the outbreak," Patrick said. "These pharmacies will be inspected at least annually and more frequently in a case of a substantiated complaint."
The New England Compounding Center is the pharmacy that made the tainted steroid used to treat back pain.
The Food and Drug Administration does not apply strict regulations to compounding pharmacies.

Heat up your outfit with this fiery bracelet.
- Two continuous coils of bracelet
- Remembrance Memory wire
- Two 2" silver head pins
- Twenty small silver flower bead caps
- Fourteen small silver spacers
- Twenty-Three 10X6mm red shaved glass rectangle
- Beads with Picasso finish
- Eight 4mm pink pearls
- Memory wire shear
- Round nose pliers
- Chain nose pliers
- Nipper Tool
- Designer Bead reamer
- Matches or lighter
Designer's Tip: Heat the tip of the memory wire with match or light that is going to be bent. This anneals the metal and makes the wire much easier to bend and get "pretty" loops.
- Thread onto one headpin, one small bead cap, 1 rectangle bead and one bead cap and make a loop at top to create charm. Repeat to make a total of two charms.
- Make a loop at one end of the memory wire and attach one of the created charms, secure by closing loop.
- Thread one small bead cap, one pearl, one small bead cap, one rectangle bead, one small silver spacer, one rectangle bead, one silver spacer, one rectangle bead. Repeat this pattern starting with one small bead cap until there are a total of 7 units. End by threading one small bead cap, one pearl, and one small bead cap.
- Cut wire long enough to create loop. Make loop at end of wire and attach other charm and secure by closing loop.

Planning for natural disasters is a frequent task when living in southeast Louisiana, where floods and hurricanes are a far too common threat. So when "Nature's Fury" was the theme of the 2013 First Lego League robotic competition, the student members of the Riverside Elementary Robotics Club understood the need for natural disaster response missions and readily accepted the challenge.
Success at the local and district competitions led to statewide competition in New Orleans on Dec. 6. After competing with 60 other teams, the nine-member Riverside Robotics Club placed 12th in the robotics portion of the competition.
"We are all kind of new but we made it all the way to the championship," said team member Neil Olivier. "We all worked together and we made a very good team. Even though we didn't win this year, if we ever get the chance to do it again, we will win."
The competition consisted of three different parts: A Robot game, the Project, and Core Values, said Riverside teacher Kelly Whitehead, who co-sponsors the Riverside Robotics Club with fellow teacher Melissa Eitmann.
The robotic portion requires students to build a robot from scratch and program it to perform different missions, Whitehead explained.
"And since one of our members lives in the Honey Island Swamp and often gets trapped due to high water, our innovative solution was a floating roadway system. And all of the team members learned the core values of cooperation and communication and gracious professionalism," she said.
"This whole year has been awesome working with and getting to know a bunch of people," said team members Stephen Crawford. "We worked on a lot of skills together, and it was just awesome."
This year's mission required the team's robot to perform a number of different missions, including the rescue of pets and getting supplies to people affected by a disaster, said team member Daniel Zechenelly. "And we had two and half minutes to run as many mission as possible," he added.
Teams were awarded points based on the varying tasks and their level of difficulty. "I really liked the missions where we rescued the pets," Neil Olivier said. "If we lose our pets during a natural disaster, it's kind of sad, so it is good to bring them together again."
Team member Ian Coble, who joined Riverside's team last year, said that at first the whole idea seemed boring as he was not a big robot fan, but he likes Legos, he said, and so he decided to gave it a try, learned a lot, and "I'm stuck with robotics now."
"I'm really like a tech whiz, so this was really easy for me," said team member Melanie Gambino. "I love building with Legos, and it's fun to use my imagination to build anything. The programming was hard, but it got easier as we went along."
Fellow teammate Hunter Spiehler agrees. " It's not all about the Legos," he said. "We learned a lot about degrees and rotations and how much the robot wheels can turn. Ever since I joined the robotics club, I've wanted to be an engineer. Now I know how to develop and run programs, and I've had a really good time hanging out with these kids."
At a recent meeting of the Robotics Club, the students explained and demonstrated their mission board and robot, and offered future team members a few words of advice.
"One thing we've learned is that Legos are not always the most accurate," Hunter Spiehler said. "Sometimes it just doesn't work. So when a program works once, you can't stop. It has to work at least three times before you can plan to use it. And you have to make sure the back wheels are stable."
Fourth-graders Caidy Jennings and Whitney Pullens said they both enjoy being in the Robotics Club and hope to be team members next year when they are in the fifth grade.
"My Papa, Keith Joiner, does robotics with high-schoolers in Slidell, so I thought it was cool to get some experience here," Jennings said.
"And I just really like to play with Legos and with robotics," Pullen said.
Other members of the Robotics Club were Del Gonzales, Isabella Jimenez, and Tristan Fournier. "And we are always looking for sponsors to help with the costs involved," Whitehead said.

To solve the re-paint problem you have to separate the button click and
the painting into two steps. When the button is clicked just set some
variables to remember which button(s) are active and call Invalidate()
or InvalidateRect(). Don't paint in the click handler. Almost
immediately after that you will receive WM_PAINT. Paint in the WM_PAINT
handler. If your application needs repainting you will also receive
WM_PAINT, so you have to do all painting, from all causes, in WM_PAINT,
using variables to remember exactly what to paint.
To improve the efficiency of the flash effect you should have a second
bitmap or bitmaps, with the buttons illuminated. When you paint, first
blit the standard bitmap into the CDC, then blit illuminated buttons
onto that from the second bitmap, then blit the composite to the screen.
If you don't know how to do this look up examples that use
CreateCompatibleDC, which is an in-memory bitmap where you prepare the
composite. This will be enormously faster than SetPixel.
Similarly, when your timer says it is time to remove the flash, don't
paint, just change the variables and call Invalidate or InvalidateRect
to generate another WM_PAINT.

Facebook unveils phone interface
Facebook has announced a new mobile application for Android phones that promises to "put people ahead of apps," by using photos and updates from the social network as the central feature of a phone's home screen.
The app, Facebook Home, will arrive preinstalled on a new smartphone made by HTC, but it will also be available for other Android phones through the Google Play app store.
Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg promised a crowd of reporters and analysts that the software will "turn your Android phone into a great, simple social device."
The new software also integrates text messaging and Facebook's own messaging service in a way that lets users chat with friends without interrupting other functions or apps on the device. While phones and computers have traditionally been designed around programs and apps, Zuckerberg said, the new software is intended to make the phone highlight "people, not apps."
The new HTC phone, called First, will be sold through AT&T for $99. Zuckerberg said the app will be available for other Android phones in coming weeks, and the company hopes to release a tablet version in the next several months.

Problem during runtime: Cofactor
Hello everyone, I am Arkaprava, a college student.....I am having huge problem regarding running the following program....please help me out. It has no compilation error but during runtime, it is giving rise to strange values.....please debug it....
Thanks in advance....
Re: Problem during runtime: Cofactor
What input do you give it? What is the strange output? What output did you expect?
Re: Problem during runtime: Cofactor
No output....it is showing error in processing data whenever I enter row=1, column=1.
I expect to print the entire cofactor matrix of that corresponding element.
Re: Problem during runtime: Cofactor
First of all please switch to a sensible way of getting data from the user:
printf("enter a number: ");
No output at all? Are you sure about that? After you've entered 1 for m and n I would expect to see at least "Enter the element a[0][0]=". If you're not seeing that then "scanf("%d", &n);" must be crashing.
By output I mean stuff displayed on the screen by the program, not necessarily final results. There must be some output if it's showing an error.
So what error is it showing? (The program doesn't display "error in processing data" at any point, unless you've added that since uploading the code.)
Re: Problem during runtime: Cofactor
Not error as such....it's showing an invalid output for the matrix {{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}}.
For row index 1 and column index 1 it is givin the cofactor {{-1,8653},{9119,22053}}......
Thanks for the advise regarding scanf....I did not know......could u teach me a bit more elaborately?? please????
Re: Problem during runtime: Cofactor
What output did you expect? Sorry, I know nothing about cofactors so I don't know.
Have you tried adding debug statements to the code to determine where the silly values are coming from? For example you can display the values in the first for loop with something like:
printf("Assigning a[i=%d][j=%d]=%d to b[i][j]\n", i, j, a[i][j]);
Re: Problem during runtime: Cofactor
Yes I can....help me in debugging the program.....
for cofactor, please see here.....
Re: Problem during runtime: Cofactor
Yes I have tried adding debugging code....but it did not help much....
Re: Problem during runtime: Cofactor
> .help me in debugging the program
Yes, to that end I've asked some questions which so far you haven't answered.
- What output did you expect? (Pointing me to a tutorial on cofactors doesn't answer this)
If adding debugging code didn't help then try adding more. Those dodgy values must be coming from SOMEWHERE.
- What output did the code I suggested display?
- Did you try adding equivalent code to the other loops?
What exactly are you expecting "return b[size-1][size-1];" to return to the caller ( using test matrix {{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}} ) ?
Re: Problem during runtime: Cofactor
Dear sir....I beg thousand perdons....I expected my output to be {{1,3},{7,9}}....
And I ave tried ALL the codes you have referred....and it is still undone.....some of your codes are not working in my compiler....probably because it is very old one...
I have tried equivalent codes in each and every loop....
I will still try to work it out....I have spend the whole yesterday behind this one....
I will use more debugging codes and will give you the ultimate feedback.....thanks for all your advises....

Capitol's edition on

series ranks quite low on the scale compared to others available on the smooth soul singer. Despite delivering the biggest of
's mid-'80s hits -- "Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)," "You Are My Lady," "Hey Lover" -- the disc fails to catch many of their charting companions: "Nice 'n' Slow," "Do Me Again," "He'll Never Love You (Like I Do)," or "Jam Tonight." The omissions fortunately don't extend to his two excellent covers of Philly soul chestnuts, "Me and Mrs. Jones" and "If You Don't Know Me by Now."

What if I like my weight, but I am trying to change my composition?
-work in progress
-on diet to lose weight and get fit
-on diet to gain weight and get fit
-at goal weight 0-5 years
-at goal weight 5+ years
-fit, increasing lean mass 0-5 years
-fit, increasing lean mass 5+ years
-getting over/underweight and unhealthy again 0-5 years
-getting over/underweight and unhealthy again 5+ years
-quit the diet+lifestyle that works for me
So, there's this thing doing the rounds that after 5 years, whatever diet or lifestyle change you make, you won't be at your goal weight/fitness level anymore (some even claiming that you'll be either the same weight or fatter than before).
This poll is for you regardless of what your ideal diet is. Primal, Peat, Paleo, Vegan... As long as you made a lifestyle change at some point, the poll applies.
I'm going to try and make it so you can select multiple categories, but, if not, ignore the 'lost/gained' two and focus on the main ones.
Here are the definitions of the categories (the first 9 assume you are still on the diet that suits your body best):
-work in progress: Have not yet reached the weight/fitness level you desire or that you believe is healthy.
-on diet to lose weight and get fit: What it says on the label.
-on diet to gain weight and get fit: What it says on the label.
-at goal weight 0-5 years: At goal weight, have been for 0-5 years.
-at goal weight 5+ years: At goal weight, have been for over 5 years.
-fit, increasing lean mass 0-5 years: Reached goal weight, gaining weight, but largely not fat, have been for 0-5 years.
-fit, increasing lean mass 5+ years: Reached goal weight, gaining weight, but largely not fat, have been for over 5 years.
-getting over/underweight and unhealthy again 0-5 years: Body destabilized and going/gone back to where it was before, has been for 0-5 years.
-getting over/underweight and unhealthy again 5+ years Body destabilized and going/gone back to where it was before, has been for over 5 years.
-quit the diet+lifestyle that works for me: Quit a perfectly healthy lifestyle that was working for you for reasons unrelated to physical health.
Here's hoping it will let you select multiple options!
If not, feel free to specify in comments. If it does, please elaborate in comments. Especially the 5+-year people. How long have you been going? How long have you been fit? What do you think of the claims that you "are not typical"?
Perfection is entirely individual. Any philosophy or pursuit that encourages individuality has merit in that it frees people. Any that encourages shackles only has merit in that it shows you how wrong and desperate the human mind can get in its pursuit of truth.
I get blunter and more narcissistic by the day.
I'd apologize, but...

50yo, 5'3"
CW-125, part calorie counting, part transition to primal
GW- Goals are no longer weight-related
I have been gradually leaning out over the past 6 years. Every year I get leaner or buffer or both.
My series of diets:
2007-2009: cutting out more and more junk food. Eating large spinach salad, 1 slice whole wheat bread, and 2 chicken breast/thighs in college cafeterias. Eating oatmeal with pb when I run out of money. Aerobics 3-5x a week.
2009-2011: got my own apt, survived on small amounts of oatmeal, brown rice, quinoa turkey/chicken. Large amounts of veggies and egg beaters (Blech). Lowish carbs. Almost gluten free by default. Started some lifting (p90x + my bf at the time teaching me). Still too much aerobics. Reached my lowest weight since freshman/sophomore year of hs here, mostly through severe caloric restriction.
2012-2013: moved to NYC from Austin Texas. Found primal... Then vlc... Then realized I was hampering my weightlifting goals by not eating carbs so I went high carb paleo (mostly peat but I eat some starches too). Lifting more seriously now and eating tons of protein. Gradually killed my aerobics habit. Body slowly getting more and more muscular.
2014 and beyond: I will continue to lift and eat this way. I finally found a woe that comes easily to me.
At a curvy 4-6 and 5'9" I am fine with the way I look but I want to look wayyyy better. I have stayed at around 4ish since 2010. I want to reach 2-4 but we shall see what I land at when I hit 18-19% bf.

I've only been at this since 2010 and it's been amazing. Yes, I still change things up from time to time, but I am getting stronger and adding lean mass as of now. I first got down to about 170, but looked gaunt. Now I'm usually around 180 most of the time, and 18% body fat. Did a few weeks of "gaining" while lifting heavy, and now am casually "cutting".
Steak, eggs, potatoes - fruits, nuts, berries and forage. Coconut milk and potent herbs and spices. Tea instead of coffee now and teeny amounts of kelp daily. Let's see how this does! Not really had dairy much, and gut seems better for it.
I was raised eating primally probably 70-80% of the time, and continued that when I left home. I've been in that 70-80% primal category for at least the past eight years, and in the past two years I'd say I've been about 90% paleo (don't eat much dairy any more).
I've always been within 10 pounds of my "goal" weight, although I don't have a scale and only know that I currently weigh 110 pounds because I recently had a regular exam. I've never been overweight, nor have I had the misfortune of having any kind of eating disorder. I'm 56 years old, 5'2" tall.
I plan to keep on skiing the black diamond slopes when I'm 100 years old.
I have never been considered overweight. I've been within a few pounds of that classification, but never hit that mark. That said, I did not like the way I looked or felt at that upper weight (136 lb at 5'2"). I guess I've been on the trail of discovery for just over 5 years, going from low cal/ low fat to primal to paleo/ low sulfite. It was the paleo/ low sulfite that was what I needed, because of lactose intolerance and a sulfite sensitivity. I dropped 10 lb in about a week after cutting dairy and sulfites and, when I behave, it's still steadily dropping.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"
My Latest Journal
Kochin, that's not a new thing going around. I've been hearing that for decades. It's one of the reasons that I'm not opposed to fast weight loss. It's also the reason I don't think I'll ever post a success story for myself until I've reached the five year goal. I've been part of the 95% who regain twice in my life, and I'm afraid to jinx it.
I don't know about people who are at a good weight and have other health goals, but as far as obesity, it takes some great will and continuing practice to keep the weight off for five+ years.
Loafing Cactus knows a lot about this. There's an obesity data base about which she's posted.

The proximity to the rainforest means lots of loud animal activity: the sound of chirruping coquí will send you to sleep, and you'll wake to wild birds whistling. Some places are accessible along the north section of Hwy 191, coming from Río Grande (Luquillo beaches are only a few minutes away). Other accommodations are on the south side, also on Hwy 191. Due to mudslides, south side accommodations must be accessed from the Naguabo entrance to El Yunque. These are good choices if you want to be in close proximity to day trips in and around Fajardo. Most properties have minimum stays.

The Sale That Stole Thanksgiving
The legend of the first Thanksgiving tells of survival against imponderably difficult odds and the celebration of Native Americans and English settlers alike around a common table. With rich and delicious food before them, they thank God for being alive to enjoy all of God's good gifts.
This lore calls to mind the common table of the early church and anticipates the supper of the Lamb, to which Christ invites the faithful of every nation at the end of all things. Thomas Jefferson reportedly regarded Thanksgiving as too Christian (and therefore in violation of his understanding of church-state separation) for the government to proclaim a holiday. It has always struck me as a profoundly religious—indeed, Christian—observance.
Therefore, I find myself dismayed at the backward encroachment of Black Friday—the busiest shopping day of the year and the purported start to the Christmas shopping season—into Thanksgiving Day itself.
Stores have been opening early—say, at 6 a.m.—on the day after Thanksgiving for years, but extremely early openings (4 or 5) have gradually become more common. Target, Best Buy, Macy's, and others caused a stir in 2011 by opening at midnight. Wal-Mart went further the next year and opened in the evening on Thanksgiving Day. This year, nearly a dozen stores—including Macy's, Kmart, Target, Best Buy, and Kohl's—will be open at least as early as that, putting employees to work hours before.
I realize that some people must work on holidays. At 18, my father spent a lonely Christmas as a new Air Force recruit on outdoor guard duty in the sub-zero winter of North Dakota. I've spent part of my own Thanksgivings and Christmases visiting loved ones in nursing homes and hospitals and have expressed my gratitude to the nurses, doctors, and aides who were there to care for them. And while I am glad that firefighters will rush to my aid if I set the kitchen ablaze (it's happened before) on Thanksgiving Day, having stores open for business on that day falls into an different category, meeting only our perceived need to be able to buy what we want when we want it… and at huge discounts.
My feelings go beyond mere nostalgia for Thanksgivings past. Our nationally observed holidays erode, gradually but certainly, with every wave of unending commerce. It's a regrettable and embarrassing move that suggests what we value most is not in fact family, religion, history, or even the cherished notion that God has blessed America. Instead, for us there is no day so sacred that it would keep us from standing in long lines under the glow of fluorescent lights to get a flat-screen TV…while others must stock the shelves and man the registers.

Fairfield wrote: Sometimes a teacher's words are the only praise a child ever hears. Sometimes a teacher's voice is the only one that ever recites a story to a child. Sometimes a teacher's discipline is what a child craves most. Because too many times, we ask our teachers to step in where parents and guardians fail.
Here's what Chronicle readers had to say:
It may be that a majority of ill informed people object to having teachers represented by a bargaining unit the teachers voted for, but the majority of people that I talk with know why teachers need unions. Four of my fathers sisters were teachers and when they started teaching any teacher could be dismissed (a polite term for fired) for any reason at any time and many female teachers were dismissed simply for getting married. Two of my aunts were.
Some private, very expensive, schools may have students that do outperform public school students but they are usually from very motivated families. There is nothing available to prove the difference is because of the teachers except figments of many people imaginations. Students at private schools come from families that are more disciplined and motivated. All private schools have students that do not perform to the level many parents expect and that often causes problems between the more motivated parents and the school boards of those schools for allowing those "scholarship students" in those schools. Some private schools have hiring standards much lower then the public schools do and teachers at those schools may not need to be certified to teach the subject they are teaching.
I know a large number of public school teachers, all of whom are dedicated and try very hard, to help every student they have learn what that student needs to learn. None of them would give up membership in the MEA although some would like the MEA to not be as vocal about some issues. Decisions about issues are made by the members of the union, they are not made arbitrarily by someone sitting in an office somewhere. Decisions about issues are voted on at membership meetings after discussion is about the issue.
rightofyou says that teacher union support of Democrats takes away from their profession:
All that is well and good. The problem with that profession is it is affiliated with the MEA, whether they choose to be or not! And we all know where most of those teachers union dues go! That's right, straight to electing Democrats!! Sorry but that trumps all the good things that they may have done!!!!!
Rightofyou, you are misinformed. MEA supports Republican candidates, as well as Democratic candidates. When a group of people takes a vote, the majority wins. Period. That is the democratic way. Teachers have joined together to form a union. They voted for the union, and the majority wins. There are those that don't believe in that and want to take that right away from working people. If someone doesn't want to join, they can choose to give the dues to the charity of his or her choice.
Cindy is right -- teachers are important. That is why we must cut their pay and benefits.
Madam Editor: Just as in any profession, teachers come in all varieties and levels of skills and talents. Remember that exactly half of all lawyers, doctors, truck drivers, police people, etc., are below average. Having said this, we should be thankful for all of the teachers who finance a college education and then join a profession that lays them off for a fourth of the year without compensation, awards minimal quality working conditions at sub-pay levels and then is criticized for not making Johnny learn and behave when his parents can't. Why anyone would want to become a teacher today, is beyond me, having said this, I am gratified that some do.
Did you have a teacher who changed your life? Do you think teachers are treated fairly? Do you think teacher unions have overstepped their bounds? Comment below or return to the original conversation.

obama and the usa foreign policy are both completely hypocritical… to not say anything about the murdering that israel has just commuted and to make like what is going on in and around israel is the only thing that matters, but never israel is just so typical…if it isn't syria, it is iran, and blah blah blah… or libya, and egypt and pick any country other then israel, lol………geez, i don't think israel could have a better leader then obama, even though the folks in the us didn't realize they were voting for a servant to israel……
Woody TanakaMay 19, 2011, 4:42 pm
"even though the folks in the us didn't realize they were voting for a servant to israel"
I sure didn't. I did a lot of stupid, foolish things in my time, but supporting this clown was one of the tops.
Richard WittyMay 19, 2011, 1:18 pm
I liked the speech. He saved his comments on Israel/Palestine for the end. If you turned off the speech in resentment, you missed his commentary.
He stated his commitment to the two-state approach. He stated opposition to Palestinian unilateral declaration though, and that will be a big obstacle for them to navigate.
He criticized the continuing settlement expansion, but cast Israel as attacked, not as attacking, as I'm sure you feel would be more representative.
DonaldMay 19, 2011, 2:51 pm
"He criticized the continuing settlement expansion, but cast Israel as attacked, not as attacking, as I'm sure you feel would be more representative."
That's why you liked the speech. For the type of liberal Zionist who habitually defends Israeli cruelty, Obama hit exactly the right tone. He characterizes the conflict in this fashion–Palestinians suffer humiliation, while Israelis lose their children in terror attacks.
It's the formulation one would use if you see the Israeli lives as more important than Palestinian lives, and if you think that Israelis are morally superior beings who can't commit atrocities (with the exception of a few far rightwingers, maybe). It's why the Palestinians should see the US government as one of the chief obstacles to a just peace.
Richard WittyMay 19, 2011, 3:37 pm
You still are looking for form over substance, when substance is needed.
67 borders, loud and clear.
DonaldMay 19, 2011, 5:24 pm
Wrong as always, Richard. Even if the Palestinians are willing to settle for a two state solution (which might be the case), there's a question of how to get the best deal possible. And that's not likely to come from a President who is so cowed by the Israel lobby that he won't treat Palestinian concerns over Israeli violence with the same seriousness that he treats Israeli concerns over Palestinian violence.
I know you don't understand this, because you have a purely tribal outlook. But it's true.
Richard WittyMay 19, 2011, 5:51 pm
I don't have a "purely" tribal outlook. I have an outlook that includes humanity for all, humanity for specific neighbors (whomever is there), and particular concerns and sympathies for my own community.
The best deal possible is not a relevant goal. You sound like a likudnik. A viable Palestine is the goal.
Again, you want "victory" rather than success.
ShingoMay 19, 2011, 6:14 pm
You still are looking for form over substance, when substance is needed.
Yes it was needed, and it was missing, which as Donald explained, is why you liked the speech.
It's you're kind of speech Witty. Vague platitudes while not proposing any action. More of the status quo.
Yes, we can see why you liked it.
DonaldMay 19, 2011, 6:18 pm
The best deal possible, Richard, would be one state with equal rights for everyone, with Palestinians and Israeli Jews living side by side in peace with respect for each other. Horrifying, I know.
Failing that, the Palestinians should try to get as much as they can. Unlike the likudniks, I don't mean ethnic cleansing of Jews, I mean that if Israelis are wedded to their rejectionist beliefs and don't want to live with Palestinians in equality, then Palestinians should at least try to get as good a deal possible for themselves. They are the chief victims here and deserve that much. So I hope the Palestinians stay unified, don't use violence, and use the UN to obtain statehood and then use every means of nonviolent pressure they can to obtain their goals. They can't trust the US government, but much of the rest of the world is more sympathetic. But cheer up–I seriously doubt they will able to obtain a one state solution without Israel's consent. So your side gets to profit from the ethnic cleansing of 1948 (which you approve). Perhaps bigots with your views will die off and gradually, a future generation of Israelis will see the wisdom of establishing a single multicultural state unifying Israel and Palestine.
ShingoMay 19, 2011, 6:54 pm
I don't have a "purely" tribal outlook. I have an outlook that includes humanity for all, humanity
Except when it comes to the I/P confict, in which case, your only concerns are for your tribe.
DonaldMay 19, 2011, 6:59 pm
Here's a serious question for you Richard. Why shouldn't Obama criticize the atrocities on both sides and empathize with the victims of war crimes on both sides? Isn't that what a fairminded mediator would do? Why can't he condemn the terrorism of Palestinians and empathize with Israeli victims, and criticize the war crimes of the Israelis and empathize with the Palestinian victims? Notice, by the way, this still privileges the Israelis. They inflict more harm and they are the ones who forced the Palestinians out of their homes and are occupying them. I'm just asking for a mutual acknowledgment of atrocities without getting into which side commits more or which side is more at fault. But Obama can't even do that.
Now I know the reasons for this–Obama like most US politicians is under tremendous pressure from the Lobby and also, the US itself is guilty of some of the same crimes against civilians. But it's what a mediator ought to do. Doesn't it ruin his credibility and America's credibility as a peacemaker if we are seen only condemning the cruelty of one side?
pjdudeMay 19, 2011, 10:44 pm
Witty you do know the US cannot legally recognize the 67 borders( well if we really and truly want to be brutally honest legally the US can't recognize Israel)
Richard WittyMay 20, 2011, 5:13 am
I think the speech was mostly a reasonable statement. There were a couple phrases that I objected to.
It is truly a roadblock to the UN ratification.
The only condition that will allow change to the Palestinian status in the REAL world, is acceptance of Israel as Israel, actual, not a carrot.
Palestinians have demonstrated historically that they are willing to kill, to mass murder, to war (more than mass murder) for property. (Yes, I know that the same applies to Israelis.)
If you want to argue for the single state, then shift already to what constructs that. And, the largest component is strong and confident assertion of safety for minorities.
Whenever the single-state advocacy is stated as Palestinian nationalist, in any way, it is rationally understood as a racial exclusion movement (in sheep's clothing).
eljayMay 20, 2011, 7:48 am
>> I have an outlook that includes humanity for all, humanity for specific neighbors (whomever is there), and particular concerns and sympathies for my own community.
And you demonstrate your "humanity" every time you:
– justify the "necessity" of ethnic cleansing;
– hypocritically defend Israeli actions while condeming similar or lesser Palestinian actions;
– sneer at universal human rights, justice and accountability;
– dismiss the concerns of victims; and
– argue for a supremacist "Jewish state".
Richard WittyMay 20, 2011, 9:31 am
"Here's a serious question for you Richard. Why shouldn't Obama criticize the atrocities on both sides and empathize with the victims of war crimes on both sides? Isn't that what a fairminded mediator would do? "
Two reasons:
1. Obama is not the judge and jury of a condition that is ambiguous at best. He KNOWS that the stimulus to Cast Lead was continued attack on Israeli civilians which is Israel's responsibility to protect. And, he has ordered intense military acts even when US civilians were not in direct harm's way. It would be hypocrisy for him to declare that Israel had no right to defend itself. I'm sure that he has urged restraint on Israel repeatedly, and has been listened to.
2. Condemning is the OPPOSITE of what a mediator does. A mediator in a design-process reconciles needs, not condemnations. Thats what those without responsibility for subsequent consequences do, they judge and condemn only, never proposing and never responsibly advocating for their proposals.
DonaldMay 20, 2011, 12:06 pm
Okay, Richard, thanks for the reply.
1. There isn't much ambiguity about Israeli war crimes. There is a dispute about whether it is correct to say that they targeted civilians as a matter of policy, but Israel definitely targeted civilian infrastructure and used indiscriminate firepower in urban settings. Those are war crimes. As for what Obama KNOWS (btw, capitalizing words doesn't give your argument any extra force), he seems to only KNOW what he wants to know. Israel killed far more Palestinian civilians in the period leading up to the war and they had Gaza under an inhumane blockade, treating every Palestinian there as a prisoner. The second part of your part 1 is half-right–Obama himself has the blood of civilians on his hands, but that doesn't stop him from condemning Palestinian violence. He never says they have the right to defend themselves. Both you and he seem to think that only Israel has that right. As for hypocrisy, that never stops Obama or any other politician, so please don't pretend that is something he wishes to avoid. And anyway, I agree Israel has the right to very carefully target rocket launching sites. They didn't have the right to use indiscriminate violence.
2. Condemning is NOT the OPPOSITE of what you and Obama do (say, this capitalizing is fun). You are both quite free with your condemnations of Palestinians. I'm not asking him to condemn only–I'm asking both him and you to acknowledge that both sides commit atrocities. It's the morally decent humane and honest thing to do, but unfortunately it is something Obama refuses to do. And why? Well, he has to worry about offending people in America who give his campaign a lot of money. Which makes him a pretty rotten candidate for fairminded mediator.
As for being responsible, the first rule of being a mediator is to be fair to both sides. Obama is not. As for proposals, one that I would make is that until there is a final peace agreement, both sides refrain from killing civilians. We all know here that Israel is the one that most often breaks lulls in the violence. But again, to appease the Lobby, Obama pretends that violence is only something Palestinians initiate. There's nothing more practical and responsible than recognizing that there are two sides in a conflict that are guilty of atrocities. It's something you and Obama refuse to do, which means you and he are giving Israel a wink and a nod saying that while we may urge them to practice "restraint", we won't ever do anything beyond that.
pjdudeMay 20, 2011, 3:31 pm
Sorry witty that the rest of us are not accepting your idea of pretending the law doe4sn't exist and that justice is wrong. and really ignoring my statements to you doesn't change the fact the questions I asked you really need to answer to be taken seriously.
Richard WittyMay 20, 2011, 3:49 pm
I think your first assumption about no ambiguity as to Israel committing war crimes is a false one.
There is a great deal of ambiguity as to that assertion. For one, to state that Israel committed war crimes is to state about intent of the policy of a state. If that contention is subject to a material degree of doubt, then it is by definition uncertain.
I find it wierd that you insist on framing every discussion on "guilt of atrocities". The very vast majority of diplomacy is oriented to constructing relationships, NOT on condemnation.
It is an entirely different orientation than you engage in.
DonaldMay 20, 2011, 5:50 pm
"I think your first assumption about no ambiguity as to Israel committing war crimes is a false one."
Your opinion is worthless. You pay no attention to the evidence.
"I find it wierd that you insist on framing every discussion on "guilt of atrocities". "
The spelling is "weird", not "wierd". And you don't find it weird that Obama and every American politician denounces Palestinian atrocities. You accept that. You only find it weird if someone thinks Israeli atrocities matter.
And I think you're disingenuous (that's fancy lingo for "I think you're lying") in saying this. I've explained several times why it matters and it's common sense. There's the question of simple fairness and establishing credibility with both sides and there's also the fact that Israel will continue to commit violent acts against Palestinians unless they are told in no uncertain terms that the US regards them with as much disfavor as it does rockets aimed at Sderot.
But I know this means nothing to you.
DonaldMay 20, 2011, 6:25 pm
Incidentally, Richard, I bet you would have trouble personally reconciling with a Palestinian who defended suicide bombings against Israeli civilians as legitimate.
For you, reconciliation doesn't seem to involve any genuine give and take, any real admission of wrongdoing on the part of the side you identify with. You just want to end the conflict on terms as favorable as possible for your side, with some bones thrown to the Palestinians as a sop to your conscience, but your pride forbids you to ever really admit to wrongdoing. It's why you reject the even a simple fairminded proposal that Obama condemn terror from both sides. This self-centered attitude of yours is no way to reconcile on a personal level or on a larger scale either. What sort of neighbors would Palestinians and Israelis make if each continued to think they were justified in blowing up the other side's children?
James NorthMay 20, 2011, 6:33 pm
Richard Witty said: 'When Palestinians commit atrocities, I talk about them at length, with specific examples. When Israelis commmit much greater atrocities, I make no mention of them, but start talking instead about "humanizing the other."'
James NorthMay 20, 2011, 6:45 pm
Richard Witty said: 'I mean something very specific when I use the expression "humanizing the other." I mean that Palestinians should forgive Israelis for everything, up to and including the illegal settlements that continue to this very day. In return, once I and the Israelis are convinced the Palestinians are genuine, Israel will stop invading, murdering and jailing Palestinians.'
eljayMay 21, 2011, 6:46 pm

The Might makes Right argument, that US has been heavily abusing the past decade(s) cannot work forever. The hypocrisy of our supposed justice has caused us to shrink in magnitude from leadership.
An article today asked a Egyptian woman about her vision of democracy, and she said 'we surely don't want the US style democracy'.
Israel should take heed, as they will become irrelevant unless they make reparations to their neighbors, from damage inflicted from the state's founding. Their colonial enterprise effects everyone.
They need to understand they are what Germany or Spain is to the EU, not the 51st state of the US. They wanted to land so bad, now they have to integrate into the fabric of the Middle East. But Jewish Exceptionalism prevents them from doing so, and they're left trapped in their own design.

Good question. I hope Phil finally gives up his love for the man after tonight's commentary. Good old Chris said that the Palestinians should promise to brutally suppress any violation of a peace treaty with Israel and if they don't promise that, then he would never recommend that Israel make a deal with them. Of course it doesn't bother good old Chris that right now and for the past 60 years Israel has been stomping on the Palestinians.
I have no idea why Phil likes Chris Matthews and fantasizes about the day he will come around. Chris is one of the dumbest people on television.
AviMay 19, 2011, 7:43 pm
The BBC's propagandist Jon Donnison has just reported that he spoke with Palestinian Authority's Abbas regarding Obama's speech.
Donnison claimed he told Abbas that Obama mentioned the 1967 borders, with some land swaps of course (can't have it without those glorious land swaps). Abbas' response — claimed Donnison — was genuine surprise. Abbas was pleased, claimed Donnison.
That's right folks, Obama's speech today was unprecedented in its generosity to Palestinians for the 1967 borders were mentioned.
But, forget about the last 10 years when each and every US administration mentioned the 1967 borders while emphasizing that a final solution will have to involve the 1967 borders.
The BBC must think their viewers have the brain of a chipmunk.

How many times have I read people calling you out on this nonsense and you simply ignoring them?
Witty, the claim above is absolutely disgraceful….

"Witty, the claim above is absolutely disgraceful…."
Stevieb, how can you say that? Why, I'll betcha Witty can come up with any number of quotes supporting his statement. And since Witty said them, they're real quotes! Anybody can see that.
As far as links go, well, he don' need no stinkin links!
But Stevieb, why read Witty, or Hophmi, or Wonderkind Jew or the rest, when you can simply read one short article (if you haven't already, and you probably have, but I like to mention it once in a while) and know exactly what they will say, and in what order they will say it.
MooserMay 20, 2011, 11:58 am
And don't forget, this article ("How to make the case for Israel and WIN!!) has been endorsed by Jose and other Hasbaratchniks: "They are simply basic principles of argument."

Gaynor helps SeaWolves to doubleheader split with Curve
Wade Gaynor was honored for his defensive play on Wednesday with a Gold Glove.
On Thursday, Gaynor was more known for his bat as he clubbed two home runs to help the Erie SeaWolves avoid a doubleheader sweep.
Gaynor hit a solo home run in the second inning and a three-run shot in the fifth as Erie defeated Altoona 5-2 in the second game Thursday in front of 3,696 fans at Jerry Uht Park.
Altoona won the first game of the doubleheader 9-4 behind a rehab start from Pittsburgh Pirates left-hander Wandy Rodriguez.
"I felt good and I was able to get some good counts and get some good swings in," Gaynor said. "The second home run felt great because it was a close game, and with two guys on, I wanted to get them in any way I could."
Gaynor's second homer gave Erie (11-13) a 5-1 lead to back a solid performance by the SeaWolves' bullpen. Instead of burning a second starting pitcher, Erie manager Lance Parrish went to Nick Avila to start Game 2.
"It was huge," Parrish said about Avila tossing three shutout innings. "We just needed somebody to come in and do exactly what he did. He threw strikes and kept them off-balance and put up three zeroes like we needed him to."
Pat McCoy allowed one run in two relief innings before Kenny Faulk pitched the sixth and Jose Valdez earned his first save with two strikeouts in a scoreless seventh inning.
Erie, which defeated Altoona 11-5 on Tuesday, picked up its second series win of the season. The SeaWolves' other series victory came in the first series of the season at Altoona.
Rodriguez, who has inflammation in his right knee, traveled to Erie late Wednesday night after throwing a pain-free bullpen session in St. Louis on Saturday. He lasted 31/3 innings on Thursday, allowing four runs, three earned, on four hits, with three strikeouts and three walks.
"I wanted to come out and see how my knee feels," Rodriguez said. "I feel pretty good and had good location. The Pirates wanted to know and I wanted to know when I'm 100 percent and I told them I feel pretty good now and nothing bad."
Rodriguez was lifted in the middle of an at-bat after reaching 74 pitches. He threw 48 strikes and commanded his fastball in the first two innings, topping out at 88 mph. Rodriguez started working his off-speed pitchesin the next two innings, and the SeaWolves starting looking for them.
Francisco Martinez hit a two-run home run in the third inning and Ramon Cabrera scored on an error in the fourth to cut the Altoona lead to 5-3. A.J. Morris relieved Rodriguez and walked a run in before shutting down the SeaWolves the rest of the game.
Morris finished with 22/3 innings without allowing a hit, and Brandon Mann tossed a scoreless seventh inning to secure the win.
Alen Hanson and Gift Ngoepe set the tone immediately for the Curve with back-to-back home runs in the top of the first inning off Erie starter Kyle Ryan.
Elias Diaz contributed with two RBIs on three hits for Altoona (11-13).
"I'm sure it was exciting for the guys to face a major league pitcher," Parrish said. "He doesn't dazzle you. He has average stuff, but he's very good at locating, which makes him successful. If anything, it was a lesson for our pitchers because we always tell them location, location, location. He did what he wanted to do, but we caught him a few times."

Robert graduated in 1973 from Palo Duro High School and then attended Jarvis Christian College. For many years, he sold encyclopedias across the country and won Top Salesman of the Year several times, allowing him to travel the world. This job brought him to his wife of 26 years, Paula.

He was preceded in death by his mother; a daughter, Kamica; and a son, Damon.
Survivors include his wife, Paula Wilkerson; five sons, Justin Wilkerson and wife Natasha of Baltimore, Kevin Wilkerson and Dillon Wilkerson, both of College Station, and Majhai Wilkerson and Robert Wilkerson Jr., both of Amarillo; two daughters, Vanessa Wilkerson of San Leandro, Calif., and Lanaria Wilkerson of Amarillo; three grandchildren, Kelah Prior, Quadrick Reeder and Jordan Gaither; a sister, Carolyn Whitaker of Amarillo; a brother, Paul Whitaker and wife Judy of Denver; and many more loved ones.

The Subaru Outback wagon, which some view as a crossover SUV, is your best bet with 8.7 inches of ground clearance. Although the Outback is styled to resemble an SUV and has standard all-wheel drive, it is based on the Legacy sedan and has passenger-car DNA.
Most cars have around six inches of ground clearance or less, and we aren't aware of others that sit as tall in the saddle as the Outback. The Legacy sedan, for example, has 5.9 inches of clearance, the Mitsubishi Lancer SE 5.5 inches, and the Lancer Ralliart 5.8 inches, and all three have all-wheel drive. The Subaru Impreza, another car with all-wheel drive, has 5.7 to 5.9 inches of ground clearance, depending on model, and 6.1 inches on the performance WRX models.
If the Outback isn't right for you and you need at least 8 inches of clearance, you may have to look at SUVs such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee (8.6 inches) or Toyota 4Runner (9.6 inches). Even some crossover SUVs have less than eight inches of clearance, including the Toyota RAV4 (7.5 inches) and Jeep Liberty (7.7), so check the specifications for these vehicles in the Cars.com Research section.

The big story, if you're inclined to check it out, is Yahoo and Rivals have uncovered that Connecticut has committed NCAA violations. The violations center around Josh Nochimson, a former professional sports agent and UConn student manager, and the recruitment of former Huskies guard Nate Miles.
This isn't the first time Nochimson has received negative publicity. In 2008, he was fired by client Richard Hamilton after Hamilton accused him of stealing a significant chunk of change.
March 25, Rivals.com: Nochimson filed paperwork with the NBA Players Association to decertify himself as an agent in June 2008 after UConn All-American and Detroit Pistons star Richard Hamilton fired him as his business manager and accused him of stealing more than $1 million.
"He was pretty much running his business as an agent off of me," Hamilton said.
Nochimson declined to comment for this story.

Salt Lake City -- The locker-room scene, frankly, was heartbreaking.
Arinze Onuaku, with his broad shoulders heaving and fully embraced by Scoop Jardine, was loudly sobbing. Kris Joseph, tears streaming down his face and dripping from his nose, was able to whisper and whisper only. Brandon Triche stared straight ahead, a Sphinx in shorts and sneakers.
The Orange had lost. Shockingly. Amazingly. Unimaginably. The Orange had lost on Thursday evening to the Butler Bulldogs, of all people. And now, having been booted from the NCAA Tournament far sooner than anybody would have dared thought, it was headed home.
And the post-game words, spoken about as blankly as words could be spoken, were just so . . . empty.
"We turned the ball over more than anything," offered Jardine, the sophomore guard. "We were rushing. We turned the ball over too much. Period. We were just impatient. For some reason, we were throwing balls out of bounds. I don't think we did that all year. It's like Coach said, 'You can't beat yourself.' And we did that tonight."
The final, unforeseen by so much of the cognoscenti, was 63-59. And while those 59 Syracuse points represented a black-and-white season low for the SU side, the box score amounted to a lie.
The Orange out-shot the Bulldogs. The Orange out-rebounded the Bulldogs. The Orange out-assisted the Bulldogs. Butler's Shelvin Mack shot 1-for-10 from beyond the three-point line, and yet the Bulldogs won. Syracuse's Andy Rautins was 4-for-8 from the same range, and yet the Orange lost.
And just like that, it's over. A campaign that had begun with SU on nobody's radar and proceeded to yield a spot in March atop the national rankings, a Big East Conference championship and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament was done. And the pain was palpable.
"Right now, for us, man, that means nothing," declared Rick Jackson, the junior forward-turned-center, after he'd stopped weeping. "We wanted to be that team cutting down the net. Maybe in the future, months from now, we can say we had a successful season. But right now we don't feel that way."
The truth of the matter is that this contest never did have the look of something that was destined to be placed behind velvet ropes inside a museum. From the Syracuse perspective, it just didn't feel right.
For openers, the Bulldogs -- short in some cases, gangly in others -- failed the "look" test. And as far as pedigree goes, that 22-game winning streak they'd lugged into the building was thinner than you might have otherwise imagined.
Indeed, of Butler's 20 consecutive triumphs coming into the Tournament, one (1) had been over a club that had qualified for it. Otherwise there'd been a lot of conquests of Youngstown State and Illinois-Chicago and Loyola. Meanwhile, the Orange had been bagging the likes of Villanova and West Virginia, Georgetown and Marquette, Notre Dame and Florida.
You can understand, then, how weird it was to watch Butler, the dreaded mid-major, erect double-digit leads throughout the first half that ended with SU trailing by, gulp, 10. But it wasn't just that. It wasn't merely the oddness on the floor.
This whole deal was fairly curious, particularly across those initial 20 minutes. EnergySolutions Arena, the home of the Utah Jazz and considered the loudest joint in the NBA, was fairly dead at the start and pocked with empty seats throughout the first half to thus create a bland atmosphere more typical of an opening-round contest.
And, well, for some reason the Orange sort of played as if it had been thrown in against a Prairie View kind of outfit. Simply, early on the SU guys seemed . . . unmoved.
But then came the recess and with it a noisy reminder by Jim Boeheim of the time, the place and the circumstances. And the Syracuse athletes roared out of their dressing quarters, quickly turning a 35-25 deficit into a 40-39 lead to more or less re-gain their grip on the wheel.
It was, however, so very fleeting. Butler may not be overwhelming, it may not be part of college basketball's upper crust, but it is feisty. And by game's end, it somehow had generated more points than SU. And according to the rules -- though the inferior club, to the naked eye -- it moves onto the Elite Eight on Saturday while the Orange sits at home in a daze.
The culprit? Mainly, it was those turnovers mentioned by Jardine. There were 18 of them, leading to 23 Bulldog points . . . and they served to crush the Syracuse people -- body, mind and soul.
"That's what hurt us," offered Joseph, the sophomore forward, between sniffles. "Eighteen turnovers. That was the game right there."
There were other issues, sure. And not the least of them was the absence of Onuaku, the honorable senior center who never logged a minute in this Tournament because of an injured quadriceps that, according to sources, was actually torn by as much as 50%. Had Arinze been on the floor on Thursday, perhaps Butler's two bigs -- Gordon Hayward and Matt Howard -- may not have combined for their 26 points and 12 rebounds.
Too, the idea that Wesley Johnson and Andy Rautins, both of whom are now bound for pro ball somewhere, were able to squeeze off only 19 total shots (which netted 32 cumulative points) helped matters not at all.
Oh, and just one blocked shot? And only four steals? Those numbers were simply not good enough. Not on the last weekend in March in the only competition that matters. And especially when mixed with 18 turnovers.
And so . . . kaput. Splat. Pack up the balls. The Orange, 30-5 and the author of one of the greatest feel-good seasons in Syracuse history, is done. Shockingly. Amazingly. Unimaginably. And the tears are perhaps only now, on the morning after, beginning to dry.
"For a team that had such high aspirations," said Rautins, "I don't think we're going to be able to see the good side of it for a while."
That such is a shame doesn't make it any less so.

Hi John
Your latest blog has prompted me to share with you a funny comment from my late father about my training: " Son, you have been training a long time and you're still learning, you're not very good are you." He was stirring me up.

I have always subscribed to the concept of "pay yourself first". Take your monthly paycheck and deduct that 10 percent first, invest it, then live off the rest. It is not that hard, and takes little effort. I also think this concept works well with time management. Put those 10 percent of critical activities first, get them done, then everything else will fall into place. Very thought provoking post John.

What is the smallest number with exactly 14 divisors?
Many numbers can be expressed as the sum of two or more consecutive integers. For example, 15=7+8 and 10=1+2+3+4. Can you say which numbers can be expressed in this way?
Helen made the conjecture that "every multiple of six has more
factors than the two numbers either side of it". Is this conjecture
What do you notice about the number at the base of the V in all your magic Vs?

Am Using SAP Business Objects SP4 4.0 To connect to SAP ERP System
And am not
able to understand what is appear to me
What i did
After install Business Objects SP4 4.0 ,I Create Connection With SAP ERP Using the New SAP
Business Objects Driver (SAP ERP 6.0)
The Connection is work fine After that i Star to create the Data Foundation
Put the strange is when i open the connection from the DF
First one
is ABAP Function (Contain too many thing that i don't understand it)
Second One Is Golbal Third One Is Local
As i know , If Any user create new reprots in the erp system ,The
report will be under specific user and group and under specific info set in business objects 4.0
Now here i can't find the erp table as i was expected and i cant find the sap erp existing report with came with sap erp installation
Now Can Any one in SAP Tell me where can i find the sap erp tables and sap erp existing report in business objects
Hope every
thing is clear
You cannot create a report against ERP tables in BI4 SP04 - only against InfoSets and ABAP Functions. You can create an ECC Universe - see http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-27686 and http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-27725
If you want to create a report against an ERP table please use Crystal Reports 2011 or create an InfoSet and then create a universe.
Hi Tammy
Thank you for your usefull replay
As I understand from my previous reading in SAP ERP there is Slandered SAP reports that come predefined once you install the system usually those are generated through a T.codes
My main Question is how to be able to connect those Slandered reports (T.cod = ME2L ) to a BO4 4.0 SP4 ?
also is there any configuration needed in the SAP ERP , because all we are seeing in the universe is infoset for the query tools (which is an extra tools that will make you creates new reports)
I would be very grateful for your answer !
note that my past exprience in Sap B.O are usually with others software, the SAP ERP is a new environment to me.
That really isn't dependent on BI4 - yes, you can tie ECC transactions to a Crystal Report inside your ERP system but you must be on Enhancement Package 5 in ECC
Please take a look at the materials in the Embedded Analytics Space
Thank you so much for your reply
Please Correct me if i'm wrong
First Thing:
Now most of erp user who's using sap erp system are using the
existing reports that came with the sap erp installation
Now as i understand , bo can't see this reports as SAPQuery or/and infoset
But if any erp user create a new infoset , Business Objects can see it and can create report from it.
Second Thing:
What if i want to create FI ERP Module in bo
What if i Start create infosets from erp system , Each Infoset contain specific table
(EX: Lets say FI ERP Module Contain 10 table
and i create 10 infoset , each infoset contains specific table ,
and after that i take this infoset, and create the relation between this table in bo
Is this concept will work
Because if the users whose using erp system can't see the existing report
the is no purpose to connect business objects to erp
So please help me an that
Thank you and waiting your reply
I am not sure I follow your question
Right now BusinessObjects ECC universes can only read InfoSets, queries & ABAP function modules
If you want to look at something more, I encourage you to check out the help or otherwise look at using BW against ECC.
Thanks for your replay
Please first can you tell me what is the meaning of ECC
What is the meaning of infoset , queries and ABAP Function and what is the difference between them and for what purpose they use
i have install crystal report 2011 and i tried to connect it to sap ERP
But i cant see SAP ERP application
what should i do
Could you please tell me what is the purpose of connecting bo to sap erp
I encourage you to research this yourself. There are several materials on SCN that can help you with this.

The music stopped people in their tracks. Three-chord slides on an electric guitar, weeping the bluest of the Delta Blues, drew them closer and made them lean closer to the husky-voiced words.
"Rock me, baby," the singer growled, intoning the lyrics just like John Lee Hooker. "Rock me all night long. Rock me, baby, like my back ain't got no bone."
The last thing visitors to the James W. Fannin Middle School History Fair probably expected to see was 12-year-old Eric Balderas sitting in the breezeway of the school, belting out the blues and moving his small fingers up and down the neck of a plugged-in guitar.
"Did you hear this little boy? He's great. I've been listening to him all morning," said Joie Campbell, an English teacher at Caprock High School who was visiting the fair with her students.
Eric is starting to get used to that reaction.
"People tell me I play good," he said. "I think that's nice."
Other kids are schlepping out the trash while Eric is getting gigs and collecting tip money at clubs around town. His father, Felix Balderas, said he was leery of taking his pre-teen son into smoky clubs at first.
"The people have been really nice to him," Felix said. "When you're starting out, you have to play clubs and bars. He plays in church, too. He plays whenever and wherever he can."
When he was little bitty, Eric would stare up in rapt adoration as his grandpa played guitar, Felix said. And he paid attention to all of Felix's favorite songs. Early on, he could identify Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson and B.B. King.
"Just about all the men on my dad's side are musicians," Felix said. "I guess it's just in him to do this."
One day while he was at school, Eric noticed an ad announcing guitar lessons. Then 7 years old, he went right home and told his dad that he wanted to sign up.
"I got him a little $25 used guitar, thinking that he probably wasn't going to stay with it. You know how kids are. But, the first thing when he'd come home from school, he'd say, 'I've got to practice.' And he'd sit in his room and practice for 30 minutes to an hour every day," Felix said.
As Eric matured in his lessons, the cheap guitar was replaced with three electric guitars and an acoustic. He started booking gigs at clubs on Sixth Avenue as people started paying attention to the little kid with the grown-up talent. Recently, he was invited to play with another 12-year-old guitar whiz from Austin at Club Mayfair's birthday salute to Stevie Ray Vaughn.
"That was fun," Eric said. "They told me I could go with them to Dallas if I wanted to."
A man who saw Eric that night walked into the guitar shop where he practices and brought him a present.
"He said that he thought I was good and he didn't want me to quit playing. So he said he wanted to buy me a guitar, and he bought me a Lone Star Stratocaster," Eric said.
The bright red guitar will sit in its case until it doesn't intimidate him, Eric said.
"I haven't really played it," he said. "I held it once, and it felt really good, but I don't want to hurt it or scratch it."
Eric is home-schooled by his father and spends up to three hours on music some days, Felix said.
"His maturity toward his music is 'I'm serious. I'm going to get it done.' I'm glad he wants to do it and has the discipline. When he plays, he's prepared," Felix said.
Eric knows 50 songs by heart, including his own original song, "Kid's Blues." The lyrics, co-written with Dennis Antel, are a precocious take on chores.
"I take out the trash and do the dishes/But a kid's gotta do what a kid's gotta do/I play this old guitar/And sing these grown-up blues," he sings, his face becoming as serious as can be.
"It gives me a good feeling to play the blues," Eric said. "Some of the songs are not so sad. I like playing for a crowd. I feed off their energy and it makes me play better."
Felix said the family is getting serious about Eric's talent. They plan to start auditioning a backup band for him soon.
"Hopefully, he'll start doing a regular band routine and get more experience and maybe get a recording contract one day," Felix said.
Music has opened doors for him, Eric said, and he's grateful that he's found something he's good at so early in his life.
"It's done a lot for me. It's gotten me noticed. I've made friends and met people. I hope to make a career out of it. But most of all, music just makes me feel good," he said.

Another attempt to extend King George Inn's reign
Posted: 6:04 PM EDT Sep 23, 2013 Updated: 7:57 PM EDT Sep 23, 2013
The reign of Lehigh County's King George Inn may not be over yet.
South Whitehall Township commissioners say they want to meet with developer Atul Patel to discuss what can be done to save the historic landmark.
Township manager Jon Hammer says no meeting has been set yet.
Patel has plans to demolish the restaurant and build a new restaurant, a bank and a pharmacy in its place.
The owner closed the King George Inn back in August after forty-two years of business.
