Opposing players and coaches admit that whenever Connor Fields leads the offensive rush they are very afraid and with good reason. The end result is usually a goal.
"He's the most feared player," said one opponent recently who didn't want to identify himself.
The only shocking thing about that quote is that it didn't come from a lacrosse opponent. It came from one of Fields' hockey foes.
It turns out Fields' finishing ability isn't limited to the turf. The Bishop Timon-St. Jude senior's hands are just as dangerous to opposing goalies on the ice, as he is one of the reasons the Tigers enter the Western New York Varsity Hockey Federation boys playoffs as the hunted.
Timon (18-5-1, 12-3-1), which is ranked fourth in the state, brings a 10-game winning streak into the Niagara Cup Playoffs (the Federation's Catholic/Private Schools postseason tournament) as the No. 1 seed. The Tigers play the winner of Wednesday's No. 4 St. Francis versus No. 5 St. Mary's of Lancaster game in the semifinals Feb. 18 at Niagara University's Dwyer Arena.
The Niagara Cup final is slated for 3 p.m. Feb. 24 at First Niagara Center. That game opens a tripleheader of Fed playoff championship games that closes with the Section VI Large School (5:30 p.m.) and Small School finals (8 p.m.).
Fields, who has scored 265 goals in his lacrosse career with the Tigers — including last year's believed-to-be single-season national record of 129, leads the Federation with 26 goals and 42 points in league play. Including non-league games, the future Albany Great Dane collegiate lacrosse player finished with 45 goals and 78 points in 23 games.
Last season, Fields had 26 goals and 42 points in 16 league games (his overall totals were unavailable) in helping Timon to a runner-up finish in the Niagara Cup playoffs.
"I wouldn't want to play against him either," said Tigers coach Gene Overdorf. "He's the best pure goal scorer I've ever had. He handles the puck very well. He runs our power play. He does a lot of stuff for us."
Except kill penalties, which is a coaching decision as Overdorf wants him to get some rest even though Fields has asked to play on the PK, too. The Tigers are deep enough on the kill with Justin Blake, Sean Hillery, Billy Copolla and Joe Panek — grandson of legendary Timon coach Frank Panek — that they don't need their top offensive threat on the ice trying to block shots or using his speed to disrupt the opposing power-play unit.
They prefer Fields making opponents go into full-panic mode whenever he has the puck or is in position to receive a pass.
"I'm part of the offense but there are a lot of other components that go into it," said Fields. "My linemates (Joe Piegay and Blake), they feed me real well. They can finish when I feed them. I can't take all the credit. They're right there with me."
As usual, Fields shoots and scores.
The Tigers' scary good offense features four players among the top five leaders in Division I (large schools) scoring. Piegay has nine goals, 22 assists for 31 points, which ranks second. Blake has nine goals and the fourth-best point total (27). Sophomore Jacob Giacobello has nine goals and 26 points. Hillery, who's battled through injuries, has five goals and 12 points while playing on the same line as Giacobello.
"They're a strong offensive team," said St. Joe's coach Rich Crozier, whose Marauders lost twice during the season to Timon but enter the postseason as defending Niagara Cup champions. "They have a good transition game. In both games, we were up on them. They're so explosive they caught up to us. But we'd love another shot at them."
Before that can happen, St. Joe's (14-11-1, 9-6-1), which fashioned an eight-game winning streak after a 6-10 start, must get by old friend Canisius. The Crusaders (16-4-2, 13-3-2) swept the regular-season series from St. Joe's.
"It's going to be a challenge for us," interim Canisius coach Jason Bridge said of trying to beat the Marauders thrice in a season.
Zach Grace has eight goals and 18 points to lead Canisius, while Elliott Crimmen has a team-high 10 goals in Fed play. Quinn Beiter, Joe Mancuso and Pat Mitchell are all seniors hoping to help the Crusaders reach the state Catholic final for the first time since 2010, when they won their second of two straight state titles.
St. Joe's win streak may be over, but the Marauders have officially found themselves after enduring some early-season growing pains. Goalie Peter Chopra has three shutouts and a 2.06 GAA, while holdover Dominic Perna has six goals and 12 points. Nicholas Zenger leads St. Joe's with nine goals.
"We're peaking at the right time. This is what this league is all about," Crozier said.
Of course Timon feels like it's peaking as well, and it has its own motivation for returning to the final. Ten members of the Tigers still remember how close they were to earning an upset triumph over St. Joe's until a late-game turnover gave them reason to just be upset that they let an opportunity to win a title slip away with that 3-2 loss.
Timon has won two Fed playoff titles (the last in 2002 to go with the league's inaugural crown in 1991) but has lost in the final six times.
"I just tell the kids one game at a time," Overdorf said. "I'm not worried about the final until we play the semifinal."
But they're using last year's loss as motivation.
"That's always going to be in the back of our heads," Fields said of the feeling following last year's title-game loss. "It's something we don't want to go through again. … It's just going to be the drive behind our team to help us get through the playoffs."

I keep getting a message that "Internet Explorer Stopped Working" and it's keeps happening on GS site. I can barely post. Anyone else having a problem here??? I am surprised that I am able to type this up. Please help if you can.
I keep getting a message that "Internet Explorer Stopped Working" and it's keeps happening on GS site. I can barely post. Anyone else having a problem here??? I am surprised that I am able to type this up. Please help if you can.
Have you ever tried with Firefox or Chrome?
Meanwhile, we'll be looking into the problem.
Also, what is the setting on your popup blocker in IE?
(I'd use Tools/Internet Options/Delete to clear all cookies, temp internet files & so forth Dee, if you haven't done so already)
IE 10 has caused problems for a lot of platforms as they do not upgrade together, of course. I no longer use IE for my browser because it even messes with my CNN page. Very annoying.
IE 11Originally Posted by gsk8
After doing some research, someone mentioned add-ons or other files currently added.
The only other file I see that was installed a couple of weeks ago is Adobe flash player 11 plug-in and active X.
I did that Doris, I also went in and disabled the Shockwave Flash object....an Adobe Product.Originally Posted by Doris
Popup blocker has websites listed like paypal, but not GS.
I might try turning off the pop up blocker entirely, just to see whether that helps.
I know very little about computers, and the on the line experts failed to solve a problem I was having with IE11. It suddenly was refusing to show Instagram and certain vids. I turned off Active x just because it was a very recent update - and low and behold - all worked fine again.
The other turn off that was actually suggested and helped with a different problem was compatibility view. I had to "off" all the boxes.
Those are both good suggestions!
This just happened to me today on this forum and this forum alone...I was on the forum and suddenly I got the "Can not display" message and I looked at the URL and it had been hijacked to an advertising website, or what at least looked like one....
I will change some security settings and see if that helps....
I don't know much about computers so I'm always afraid to make changes.
Chris, if you find a solution as well, please post it here.
It surprises me that it's let me type this -- normally, when the ads above are switching it seems like that's when I have the problem. I have to post here or I'll go crazy!!
Coyote, if this happens again, please send me the URL.
Dee, you can add sites to the popup list. Paypal is an example.
Again, IE 9+ has become a pain for a lot of people. It used to be my favorite browser, but with each upgrade, has gone downhill for me. I am unable to browse CNN without it crashing and have problems with several other sites - including sites that use Vbulletin (i.e. GS).
I use Google Chrome or Firefox now.
I can't provide support for IE problems unfortunately.
I use IE because I have less troubles with icenetwork than I do with Firefox or Chrome. So being, lazy, I use it for GS as well.
The IE settings I use are Pop Up blocker off
On addons, Shockwave Flash Object Enabled
Everything else including Java, Disabled
No non IE toolbars, including the new Google Toolbar, which gave me fits. I just have the Status bar, Menu bar, and Command bar (which are intrinsic to IE)
When you bring up www.goldenskate.com, click on the little ripped paper icon next to the web address. That will give you compatability view. You just have to click-I would do this prior to trying to post, if it were giving me problems. At this point, I don't, but then my machines are at IE9 for one and IE10 for the other.
Dee, if you can, please keep us up to date on whether anything helps. You can post on GS from a smartphone or a tablet, other than the pest of typing with one or two fingers or thumbs and coping with AutoCorrect (which I hate)
If by some strange, strange chance you have AOL desktop on your computer, the browser inherent to AOL desktop is not IE, and doesn't have IE problems. Additionally, if you ever have a toolbar hijack malware, it works when Chrome, Firefox and IE are all DOA.
Last edited by dorispulaski; 12-01-2013 at 12:33 PM.
After doing some reading, if you have the Google toolbar on IE, there is a possibility that that is making things worse.
To turn it off, right click in the area where menu bars are displayed just below the box that lists the web address of the site you are currently viewing, but away from anything clickable. Your Toolbars list comes up. Unclick Google.

Help, my Mac is under attack!
Though not a tinfoil hat type, I do take reasonable security precautions on my Mac. That is, in addition to running ClamXav, OS X's Firewall and Stealth mode are active, while automatic login is turned off.
Thereupon, ClamXav finished its daily scheduled run the other night and I've set it up so that Console (Applications > Utilities) launches automatically to report what if anything has been found — nothing, occasionally a phishing heuristic shows up in Mail. However, for whatever reason (it seems to be related to Boxee Media Manager), Console also spawned a network monitoring window displaying a scrolling list of notifications (shown above).
Holy cow! Someone's polling ports on my Mac, looking for a way in — I'm under attack!
Well, kind of…
This Apple Support Forum Thread has a rather reasonable explanation of where this "unsolicited" network traffic is coming from:
These messages are perfectly normal, and are not at all indicative of a hack attempt.
What usually generates these is the action of navigating away from a site while that site is attempting to communicate with your browser. This can be anything from clicking on a link before the page is finished loading to navigating away while a banner ad or other animation is running.
If you do a reverse DNS lookup on some of your addresses you'll come up with sites like Google and doubleclick.net…
In short, don't be concerned about them.
And, for what it's worth, the IP address in the screen cap directs to google.com.
Your clicks give you away
If you make OS X Stealth Mode active, it will block unsolicited networking connections. You can see the advertisers, data miners and trackers trying to work their voodoo in Console. If Stealth Mode is turned off, these connections will be successful — you can see that in Console, too.
In other words, people you don't know monitoring you can't be a good thing — turn on OS X's Stealth mode. Be informed, take reasonable precautions and be well…
What's your take?

Activation Help: Updating Your MX Records
About This Step
After you complete your purchase and set up your Billing Account, you're ready to manually change your mail exchanger (MX) records to point to Postini. This ensures that all messages for users within your domain are filtered and/or archived by the message security service. MX records represent the mailing address for your domain's email.
To change your MX records, you must log in to your domain registrar. To do this, follow the instructions below.
Note that MX records may take 48 hours or longer to propagate after you change them, although propagation may take just one hour in some cases. The length of time that's required for propagation depends on the Time to Live (TTL) setting that was previously specified for your domain. During this transition, your mail will be delivered as usual, but not all mail will be filtered by the message security service until your records have fully propagated.
To change your MX records, follow these steps:
- From your Domain Settings page (in your Billing Account), click the Setup and Activate link.
Clicking this link takes you to the Setup and Activate Your Service page.
- Bookmark the Set Up and Activate Your Service page.
This page lists the MX records for your domain. You'll need to keep this page for reference when you change your MX records, and also while you check your Activation Status.
If you pause during the activation process and close your browser window, you can later access your MX record information by logging in to your Billing Account. Keep your activation email handy, as it contains a link to your Billing Account as well as the login information you need. You can also access your Billing Account at http://www.google.com/a/your-domain.com. Don't forget to replace your-domain.com with your own domain name.
- Log in to your domain registrar (also called "domain host" or "domain provider"), where you have access to your MX records.
Click the links at the bottom of this page for detailed instructions for specific domain registrars (see Detailed Instructions for Specific Domain Hosts).
- Change the MX records for your domain.
Your Billing Account displays a list of MX records as shown above. You must change your MX records to switch your mail flow to the message security service. The activation email also provides your Administration Console login information, which is important for completing your activation, so be sure to save this email.
When you enter your MX records, log in to your domain registrar and enter them exactly as they appear in your Billing Account, including the trailing dot at the end of each line. In general, your MX records include the following details:
[yourdomain].com.s[your system number]a1.psmtp.com.
[yourdomain].com.s[your system number]a2.psmtp.com.
[yourdomain].com.s[your system number]b1.psmtp.com.
[yourdomain].com.s[your system number]b2.psmtp.com.
- Return
to your Billing Account to check your activation status
Go to the Set Up and Activate Your Service page in your Billing Account. From this page, you can check your MX settings, or click Continue to Billing Account Information, which takes you to the Domain Settings page. From the Domain Settings page, you can also check your Activation Status.
Important tips regarding MX records and priority: The above example displays only sample MX records. Copy and paste your actual MX records, one at at time, from the Setup and Activate Your Service page in your Billing Account. Specify priorities of 1, 2, 3, and 4 for the records. We recommend that you keep the old records for a period of 24 to 48 hours, or until you have tested your MX records and successfully tested your mail flow. However, during this period, it's important that the four new MX records you receive for Postini occupy higher priorities, or in other words lower numbers. So, if necessary, change your old (existing) MX records to lower priorities (or higher numbers). You can later remove your old MX records once you have confirmed mail flow through the message security service. For more information, see About MX Priority.

Next step: Checking Your Activation Email
FAQs and Troubleshooting
What if I can't find my activation email?
In general, you'll receive your activation email within a few minutes of completing your order. The activation email contains your login information for your Billing Account (which you need for changing your MX records) and your Admin Account, which you will later use for logging in to the Administration Console. If you cannot find your activation email, you can request a new one through the following Request Form. See also the General Troubleshooter.
What if I forget or can't find my user name and password?
Be sure you are logging in with the correct account. When you sign up and activate the message security service, you will have two accounts: your Billing Account and your Admin Account. Your Billing Account enables you to log in to your Domain Settings page and to access your MX record information. Your Admin Account enables you to log in to the Administration Console. Login information for both accounts is displayed in your activation email.
You can also access your new Billing Account at http://www.google.com/a/your-domain.com. Don't forget to replace your-domain.com with your own domain name.

Female Worgen prototypes are out!
Well it's official! The female worgen models are now out, but with a heavy reminder that these are still under revision. I talked about them briefly in the latest State of Azeroth and my opinions stand about the same. You can see the obvious Draenei similarities to it, but at the same time it has more of a bestial quality. They've done a good job at capturing the wolf-like qualities but it's still nicely feminine. I do think that they'll look better with some hair to them though. I still want to see what the animations are like as well, but I think my worgen druid is going to be of the female persuasion once the expansion hits. But enough of my talk, check out the images!

Australia Finally Gets to Rent Movies Via PSN
Australia gets things later than North America sometimes. I mean, they get to live in the future in general, but as far as games go, sometimes…well, they just get the short end of the stick (I remember Rock Band in particular taking several months to get there). Now, they finally get to enjoy the PlayStation Network's video delivery service that has saved many a movie night in my house. Cool! It looks a lot like the usual PS Store…but perhaps a bit more aquamarine than you might be used to. (Also, whoever has the actual username "CleverUsername" gets a million props.) It'll be launching in a handful of hours – at 1 a.m. on Thursday. Hundreds of movies will be available for rent from major movie studios in HD ($7.99) and SD ($3.99), and you can watch them on PS3 or PSP.

Seven repeat as First Team members on 2014 ASICS® Girls All-American Team2014 ASICS Girls High School All-American Wrestling Team named
The nation's best girls high school wrestlers are being honored with the announcement of the 14th annual ASICS Girls High School All-American Wrestling Team.
The 2014 First Team members will be recognized at the ASICS/Vaughan Junior National Championships in Fargo, N.D., July 18-26, where they will be presented with their trophies. At the same time, the ASICS High School Girls Wrestler of the Year will be announced.
There were seven members of the 2013 First Team who were selected as First Team members again in 2014: Teshya Alo of Kamehameha High School (Hawaii), Marina Doi of Kingsburg High School (Calif.), Alyssa LaFrancis of Poway High School (Calif.), Becka Leathers of Choctaw High School (Okla.), Anastasia Lobsinger of Northgate High School (Calif.), Kayla Miracle of Culver Academy (Ind.) and Alexis Porter of Shenedahowa High School (N.Y.)
Miracle is on the ASICS First Team for the fourth straight year. Doi and LaFrancis are on the team for the third straight year. Alo, Leathers, Lobsinger and Porter are First Teamers for the second time in a row.
The ASICS Girls High School All-American Wrestling Team is selected by a nationwide panel of wrestling experts. It is the only national all-star team for which female high school wrestlers competing on all four grade levels are eligible. Athletes from across the nation were considered for their achievements in high school wrestling, as well as the major post-season freestyle and folkstyle competitions.
ASICS is a national sponsor of USA Wrestling and a major supporter of wrestling at all levels. ASICS has sponsored the nationally respected ASICS High School All-American Team for boys wrestlers for 29 years.
"ASICS America Corporation is proud to be a sponsor of the All-American wrestling team for girls," said Neil Duncan, Vice President of TW Promotions which represents ASICS. "Women's wrestling is growing at all levels, with more opportunity on the college and Olympic levels. These are our future college national champions and Olympians in women's wrestling."
California led the nation with five First Team members, including Marina Doi, Alyssa LaFrancis and Anastasia Lobsinger, plus Regina Doi of Kingsburg High School and Gabrielle Garcia of Valencia High School. No other state had more than one First Team member.
Miracle placed sixth in the 2014 U.S. Senior Open at 128 pounds, the top placement of a high school wrestler at the competition. Lobsinger placed seventh at the 2014 U.S. Open at 165 pounds.
Seven First Team members won USA Wrestling ASICS/Vaughan Junior National titles in the summer of 2014, including Alo, Leathers, Marina Doi, Regina Doi, Porter, plus Rachel Hale of Mount Anthony High School (Vermont) and Maya Nelson of Denver East High School (Colo.).
Six First Teamers won the 2014 USA Wrestling Junior Folkstyle Nationals in Oklahoma: Marina Doi, Regina Doi, Miracle, Leathers plus Jasmine Bailey of Iowa City West High School (Iowa) and Kenya Spenser of Caro High School (Mich.)
Regina Doi won a Cadet World silver medal in the summer of 2013, while Marina Doi and Alo won Cadet World bronze medals.
Four First Teamers were also Cadet National Champions last summer, Alo, Nelson, Garcia and Spenser.
Four First Teamers won the 2014 Body Bar FILA Junior Nationals and will compete at the Junior World Championships this summer: Miracle, Leathers, Marina Doi and Porter. Alo and Garcia won the 2014 Body Bar FILA Cadet Nationals, and will compete at the Cadet World Championships this summer.
Rounding out the First Team was Jessika Rottier of North Pulaski High School (Wis.)
The First Team featured seven seniors, four juniors and three sophomores. In total, 10 states were represented on the First Team.
The Second Team was also star-studded, led by Junior Nationals freestyle champions Steffanie Hampton of Leslie High School (Mich.), Kiaya Van Scoyoc of Lakes High School (Wash.), Ryan Gibbons of Centralia High School (Wash.) and Autumn Rux of Lansing Eastern High School (Mich.), plus Cadet Nationals freestyle champions Angelica Llanes of Arvin High School (Calif.) and Taylor Rosario of Cinco Rancho High School (Texas). Junior Folkstyle National champion Maddy Tung of Santa Monica High School (Calif.) and FILA Cadet National Nationals freestyle champion Sariyah Jones of James E. Enoch High School (Calif.) were also Second Team.
The Third Team featured Junior Folkstyle National champions Theresa Rankin of Grass Valley High School (Mich.), Kendall Reusing of La Sierra High School (Calif.), Ronna Heaton of Brookings High School (S.D.), Dominique Parrish of Scotts Valley High School (Calif.) and Rachel Watters of Ballard High School (Iowa). Also on the Third Team was FILA Cadet freestyle champion Katerina Lobsinger of Northgate High School (Calif.)
As the National Federation of State High Schools has yet to determine specific weight classes for girls wrestling, the athletes were selected based solely on achievement and ability. The top 14 athletes were named to the First Team, the second 14 athletes were named to the Second Team and the third 14 athletes were selected to the Third Team. Thirty athletes were named as Honorable Mention. An effort was made to make a reasonable spread of weights on each team. If the National Federation sets specific girls weight classes in the future, the selection committee will consider using those weight classes for the selection criteria at that time.
For the TheMat.com/ASICS Girls High School All-American Wrestling Team, athletes were identified in three weight ranges: Light (100-121 pounds); Middle (122-140 pounds); Upper (141 pounds and above).
In total, 72 wrestlers were selected to TheMat.com/ASICS Girls High School All-American Wrestling Team.
California led all states with 20 selections, followed by Michigan and Texas with seven and Hawaii and Washington with four.
A total of 29 states were represented on the All-American Team. The team included 31 seniors, 27 juniors, 12 sophomores and two freshmen.
Women's wrestling is one of the fastest growing sports among youth sports for women. It has been an Olympic sport for the last three Olympic Games, the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece, the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China and the 2012 Olympics in London, England. There are an estimated 11,000 girls competing on the high school level in the United States today, and the number has grown each year for the last dozen years. Colleges continue to add women's wrestling on the varsity and club level across the nation.

By 10 a.m. Saturday, at least 75 people had lined the sidewalk outside St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Glassboro. Some held infants, some waited in wheelchairs, and some helped the elderly carry canvas bags or push small carts.
They had all come for food.
Asked what was left in his kitchen at home, Tim, 13, giggled.
"Carrots," the Elk Township teen said. Not a favorite.
"Good morning, everyone," Vivian Hanson, the archdeacon's wife, shouted as she opened the door of the Gloucester County church. "Glad to see you all."
Just 30 minutes outside Philadelphia, amid the rolling farmland that produces some of the nation's largest peach and bell pepper crops, more Gloucester County parents are seeking help to feed their children, while others live in tents in the wooded areas near major shopping centers.

I create a cusomized Z-table and a view for it, all the table maintain genenator was done and ok, so there is diolog program SAPLZ* and screen generated for maintain the entries in Z-table, since we need a t-code with authorization object included, so i tried to create a t-code with this dialog program and the screen and put authorization object, but it got problem when it test it no matter i delete the authoirzation object.
What is the problem?!
Once you geenrate the table maintenance for that Z table
use the tcode SM30 to add/change the entries in that table.
If you wants to create a new Tcode you can create using the Transaction SE93
for authorization object see the doc;
In general different users will be given different authorizations based on their role in the orgn.
We create ROLES and assign the Authorization and TCODES for that role, so only that user can have access to those T Codes.
USe SUIM and SU21 T codes for this.
Much of the data in an R/3 system has to be protected so that unauthorized users cannot access it. Therefore the appropriate authorization is required before a user can carry out certain actions in the system. When you log on to the R/3 system, the system checks in the user master record to see which transactions you are authorized to use. An authorization check is implemented for every sensitive transaction.
If you wish to protect a transaction that you have programmed yourself, then you must implement an authorization check.
This means you have to allocate an authorization object in the definition of the transaction.
For example:
program an AUTHORITY-CHECK.
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT <authorization object>
ID <authority field 1> FIELD <field value 1>.
ID <authority field 2> FIELD <field value 2>.
ID <authority-field n> FIELD <field value n>.
The OBJECT parameter specifies the authorization object.
The ID parameter specifies an authorization field (in the authorization object).
The FIELD parameter specifies a value for the authorization field.
The authorization object and its fields have to be suitable for the transaction. In most cases you will be able to use the existing authorization objects to protect your data. But new developments may require that you define new authorization objects and fields.
To ensure that a user has the appropriate authorizations when he or she performs an action, users are subject to authorization checks.
Authorization : An authorization enables you to perform a particular activity in the SAP System, based on a set of authorization object field values.
You program the authorization check using the ABAP statement AUTHORITY-CHECK.
'S_TRVL_BKS' is a auth. object
ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '02' in place 2 you can put 1,2, 3 for change create or display.
The AUTHORITY-CHECK checks whether a user has the appropriate authorization to execute a particular activity.
This Authorization concept is somewhat linked with BASIS people.
As a developer you may not have access to access to SU21 Transaction where you have to define, authorizations, Objects and for nthat object you assign fields and values. Another Tcode is PFCG where you can assign these authrization objects and TCodes for a profile and that profile in turn attached to a particular user.
Take the help of the basis Guy and create and use.
Reward points if useful
Thanks Anji,
But I just want to put all in the Z t-code, the problem is: at this moment, in the Z t-code, I only put the program name (table maintain generator program) and the screen number, and ticked GUI support, but I still get shortdump error when testing the Z t-cde.
I don't know why?!
u have to create Parameter Tcode , not a normal Tcode in case of TMG.
in parameter Tcode u have pass there data.
1.First tick Transaction = SM30.
2.tick option = skip first screen.
3.tick all GUI options
<b>VIEWNAME ZZHR_DOBJE--->ur Table name
UPDATE X </b>
You should create a Parameter transaction.
In proposed values, put SM30 and tick "skip initial screen".
Then at the bottom, complete the parameters:
VIEWNAME | put table name
SHOW | put X
Hope it helps
However, i think you should use integrated Maintenance view security instead of a separate Z transaction.
Yes, I have done all you mentioned. So, do you mean i have to make ABAP code to make any authorization check?!
Sorry for delay. I meant entering Authorization group in SE55 transaction, where you define the maintenance view. I think from there you set the security over the maintenance view so you don't need any additional coding. But someone more experienced about this should confirm or clarify.
But what I want to put in is <b>Authorization Object</b> NOT Authorization Group?
Any idea?!
Please check this threads:
They should give you a hint. You should start searching for S_TABU_DIS which is the authorization object to configure for this.
However all this seems more of a Basis task for me.
i need to create t.code for table maintance...
in that t.code creation we should not use SM30 .
since the user doesnot have access to SM30.
pls help me out..

2,500 students, no Computer Science teacher
By S Kumaresan / ENS - PUDUKKOTTAI
Published: 10th September 2012 08:43 AM
Last Updated: 10th September 2012 09:51 AM
About 2,500 students are studying Computer Science in the district for the last five years without a teacher for the subject.
According to sources in Pudukottai educational district, 60 students Maruthanthalai, 80 at Kalakurichi, 120 students at Pon Pudupatti, 75 at Alavayal and 60 at Ananakottai are studying computer science as one of the subjects at the Plus-II level.
The number of computer science students at Viralimali is 120, while it is 140 at Thirumayam and 35 at Odugampatti. In Aranthangi educational district, 120 students are enrolled for the subject at Ambalavanayendhal and 140 at Aththani. Around 60 students have taken the course in Ariyap atti, 90 at Ammapattinam, 120 at Subramaniyapuram, 75 at Chidhampara viduthi, 70 at Maanchan Viduthi and 40 at Kallur. In all schools, computer science has no teacher for the last five years. In Mulukurichi Adi-Diravidar Welfare School, students of computer science are without a teacher for the last 12 years. This year, about 160 students have been admitted.
At the government model school in Pudukottai, one computer teacher takes class for 200 students and at the Raniyar Girls Higher Secondary School, a single teacher is conducting the class for 400 students. In the government schools at Alangudi and Keeramangalam, one teacher is taking class for more than 200 students.
The situation is not better even in government-aided schools. There are 14 government-aided schools in the district conducting computer science classes without a teacher for the subject.
In total more than 2,500 students are undergoing computer science courses in the district without teachers. Out of these, about 50 per cent of students study on their own, without the aid of teachers.
According to computer science teachers, lack of teachers in the subject affected students. As most of the schools are without computer science teachers, the schools which have appointed teachers for the subject do not consider them seriously, and are asked to prepare list of beneficiaries for the welfare schemes of the government. The additional burden affects the teachers' performance, they said and appealed to the government to immediately fill the vacancies in all the schools.

West Boca Medical Center Nurses Challenge Corrupt Agreement between SEIU and Hospital
Nurses who oppose forced unionization of workplace suffer from viewpoint discrimination
Boca Raton, FL (October 10, 2012) – A local nurse has filed a federal charge against West Boca Medical Center and its parent company for enacting a secret deal that discriminates against the nurses and gives Service Employees International Union (SEIU) operatives preferential access to the facility.
With free legal assistance from the National Right to Work Foundation, Registered Nurse Jenna Orlando filed the charge with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) regional office in Tampa.
According to the charge, SEIU union officials entered into a "neutrality agreement" with West Boca Medical Center and its parent company, Tenet Healthcare Corporation. The agreement successfully greased the skids for the nurses unionization.
However, a tenacious group of nurses are seeking to petition the NLRB for a secret-ballot election to remove the unwanted union. While the so-called neutrality agreement gives SEIU union officials wide-ranging access to employee break rooms, lounges, bulletin boards, and other company facilities, nurses who oppose the union hierarchy are being denied equal access. Tenet even changed workplace procedures to deny off-duty nurses from entering the premises.
Nurses from across the country are challenging neutrality agreements signed by Tenet management. Recently, a group of nurses in McAllen, Texas filed for a decertification election with the NLRB and in July 2012 successfully voted a union out of their hospital. Just last week, two nurses in El Paso filed federal charges against Tenet and the California Nurses Association-affiliated National Nurses Organizing Committee union challenging a similar discriminatory agreement.
"So-called 'neutrality agreements' like this one between SEIU union officials and hospital management are hardly neutral: They give union organizers license to browbeat and intimidate workers into acceding to unionization," said Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Foundation. "Tag-teamed by union bosses and corporate executives who abandon their employees to gain what will likely be very short term union boss favors, these nurses have been stripped of their rights to organize against forced unionism in their workplace."
"Medical professionals shouldn't be subjected to backroom deals that give union operatives preferential treatment at the expense of their workplace rights."

Birthplace of Route 66 Festival to feature live concert simulcast at Park Central Square 7 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 9
The Birthplace of Route 66 Concert, featuring the Ozark Mountain Daredevils at the Gillioz Theater Aug. 9, has sold out. In partnership with the band, the City of Springfield will present a live simulcast of the concert at Park Central Square. Video of the concert in the square will be projected on the City's 16 x 30-foot screen. There is no charge for the event and festival-goers are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs.
We really wanted to take the Birthplace of Route 66 Festival to a whole new level, said Cora Scott, City of Springfield Director of Public Information Civic Engagement. We first approached Vance Hall at the Gillioz and Dwight Glenn Productions to encourage them to bring in high-quality entertainment for an evening concert. When they were able to book our first choice the Daredevils we pitched the idea of the outdoor concert broadcast in the event of a sellout to the band. They loved it.
The concert will also feature regional acts such as Powder Mill and Cindy Woolf and Mark Bilyeu. It starts at 7 p.m.
"Its fair to say that Route 66 played a key role in Springfields access to popular music, says band member John Dillon. Because of our location on The Mother Road our area of the country was able to tap in to the amazing talent of so many great performers from so many different genres. Our band was influenced by the spirit of Route 66, the artists who traveled through Springfield, and the music they shared. Its an honor to be a part of this festival."
Scott said the City is hoping to create a unique and exciting series of events during the festival that are attractive to people of all ages. Various groups havepartnered to make the festival possible, including Best Western Route 66 Rail Haven, West Central Neighborhood Association and Urban Districts Alliance. We continue to add supporters and sponsors, Scott said.
Some proceeds of various activities will benefit the City of SpringfieldsBirthplace of Route 66 Roadside Park Fund.
A complete line up of Festival Events:
Friday, August 8:
4:30ish – Classic car "cruise" in forms at St. Louis Street and Glenstone Avenue at Best Western Route 66 Rail Haven and travels to the site of the
future Birthplace of Route 66 Roadside Park on College.
7 p.m. Birthplace of Route 66 Roadside Park Ribbon cutting and party includes the dedication of a replica Red's Giant Hamburg sign within the park. (We expect about 200-plus people at this, including dozens of classic cars.)

Wednesdays at 10pm on NBC
Let's kick-off this review with an amusing little anecdote shall we? Years ago, I was playing Scattegories with a few friends. The letter was T – the category was "offenses" and I was stumped. I couldn't think of the proper name for any type of criminal activity (although now Trespassing comes right to mind) so I wrote "Touching Children in Bad Places". I don't remember whether I got a point for that, but I do remember that my friends and all have sick senses of humour and we laughed a LOT. A few years later it occurred to us that Law and Order: Special Victims Unit had a disproportionate number of episodes focused on sexual crimes against children. It makes sense I guess….but from that moment on we've referred to the show as Law and Order: TCBP. For further inappropriate hilarity on the subject check-out an earlier blog entry about Netflix films: Netflix Docu-Fun: TCBP
The 13th season premiere of Law and Order: SVU was not in fact about Touching Children in Bad Places…but it WAS about forcing adults to touch YOU in bad places.
Sidenote: Does anyone else think 'ripped from the headlines' is just an excuse not to make up your own stories?
Anyway, this episode 'borrowed' from the recent headline grabbing news story about Nafissatou Diallo, a 32-year-old New York hotel maid, of Guinean heritage, who accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former head of the IMF (International Monetary Fund), of forcing her to perform oral sex on him. Seriously I don't even need to tell you what happened in the episode because the entire plot was actually in the news. It is important to remember that names and 'details' have been changed to protect the asses of producers. The hotel maid is not from Guinea, she's from the Sudan, which is a totally different country in Africa. The entitled sexual predator is not in charge of the IMF, he's head of the Global Trust Fund, which is not at the all the same thing. Also, in reality, the charges against Strauss-Kahn were dismissed, but in SVU his counterpart was jailed on a lesser charge of 'unlawful imprisonment' because he stopped the maid from leaving his room. The moral of this story is that bad people don't get off scot-free…in fiction.
Ratings: NBC's most successful drama pulled in 7.60 million viewers, good for 4th in its timeslot (after CSI, The X-Factor and Revenge) and 11th place overall.

Dramatic changes in the marine environment, particularly those fuelled by climate change, are believed to be responsible for the dramatic collapse in the numbers of one of the UK's most engaging seabirds.
The numbers of the kittiwake – a dainty type of cliff-nesting gull – have more than halved since the mid 1980s across the UK, and populations in Scotland have crashed by almost two thirds.
In contrast, the East Sussex cliff-top colony at Splash Point Seaford, made up of around 1100 pairs this year, and is up from 800 pairs in 2011, has become increasingly significant in recent years as kittiwakes struggle to breed in strongholds along the coast of northern England, Scotland and Wales.
One of the South East's last remaining kittiwake colonies, Splash point saw chicks hatching at the beginning of June, which hopefully indicates another successful year for this important seabird colony.
In July the RSPB ran one of its popular Date with Nature projects at Splash Point, where visitors were able to get close-up views of the kittiwakes as they raised their young.
Kate Whitton, Date with Nature project officer at RSPB South East, said: "Sussex's kittiwake colony seems to be doing well, which is welcome news, especially as another local colony at Newhaven, which has been steadily decreasing over the last few years, had no nesting kittiwakes at all this year."
Early reports of seabird nesting performance from across the UK this summer indicate continuing problems for the kittiwake population with one breeding colony now extinct and others predicted to disappear within three years. Counts of the average number of chicks per nest also seem to be reducing too. These declines are being linked to changes in the marine environment.
Dave Burges, conservation officer for the RSPB in the South East said: "It now seems beyond doubt that the decline of the kittiwake is being driven by a slump in the availability of sandeels – a staple food for this and many other seabirds.
"It is almost certain that the crash of sandeels is linked to the warming of the sea and subsequent changes in plankton availability. In other words, changes at the microscopic level are wreaking havoc at the other end of the food chain."
Although one of the world's most abundant seabirds, kittiwakes are declining at an alarming rate, particularly in Orkney and Shetland where around one-fifth of the UK population return to breed each year.
Dave Burges added: "Seabirds remain largely unprotected at sea and have been marginalised in the identification of new Marine Protected Areas - this obvious gap needs to be filled if we're going to prove we're serious about protecting threatened marine wildlife.
"It is vital to maintain the current tight restrictions on the North Sea's industrial fishery for sandeels to ensure it doesn't add to the wider pressures on sandeel stocks."
In other parts of the kittiwake's range, there is evidence from Iceland, Greenland and Norway of its population declining.
In 2008, the kittiwake was added to an international watch list of threatened species, under the Ospar – Oslo-Paris – Convention, set up to protect the marine environment of the north-east Atlantic.

My comment about some people not feeling comfortable imposing on others was just to highlight that people should do what they feel comfortable with and that a lot of rules of etiquette are arbitrary and what might seem to be good manners to one person might seem rude too another. In China the couple throws their own party after the baby is born and people traditionally bring gifts. It's all subjective.
I actually went to a friend's baby shower this past saturday. She made everything and paid for everything herself. She then just asked her sister and her BIL's gf to host the baby shower for her. At first I was like well what was the point of that? Then I figured when she asked them to host it she meant as in they were in charge of doing the games during the baby shower. Tho it didn't mean that they threw the baby shower for her. Everyone that attended brougth gifts and were all happy to be there for her and her baby.

What if you did the planning and organizing of the major details but a friend agreed to host the party and send the invites on your behalf? Seems like that could be a good compromise if no one can dedicate the time/money but still want to do something special for you.

David Millar, the repentant former drugs cheat who has been welcomed back into the British Olympic Association fold, clinched a fourth British stage victory of this year's Tour de France, winning the twelfth and longest stage in Annonay.
"I've already won stages in the Tour as a clean rider," the Scot said. "But today is the 45th anniversary of Tom Simpson's death, so it's very poignant."
Simpson collapsed and died of heart failure, connected to amphetamine abuse, during the 1967 Tour.
"I've made my mistakes," Millar said. "I am an ex-doper, you can't forget that, but I'm clean now and

Vintage unknown, but it is a PP, WWII vintage for sure, since it came back as a war relic during WWII. It is more than likely 7.65X17 and in great condition except for a microscopic fissure in the tip of the barrel. Guy says it doesn't affect the accuracy. What would it be worth?

The biggest seo mantra is "content is king" and a subject which causes most website owners the biggest headache. But when you write your compelling copy or content how does it get found quickly. This is where your social media strategy comes into play.
You can spend thousands on creating the most beautiful website but unless it gets visitors then how can you convert those visits into sales?
I hope it comes as no surprise that the search engines need your website to have plenty of content so they can understand what your website is there for. There is little point in having great imagery and functionality if Google can't tell what it is all about. In its rawest form a picture is just a file name. Google can't tell what the picture is unless you describe it by an alt tag.
Let's take it that you have found the time to write say one great article per week and get it published on your website; how do you get it noticed?
You have two main choices. The first is to publish it and hope that Google will crawl it quickly and index it. That you have dealt with your on page seo by making it keyword rich. Hoping that you have got those keywords right for the searches your visitors will be making. From here you are reliant in your visitors making those searches and finding your article.
The second and complimentary method is submitting or social bookmarking your article with the major social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Digg, etc.
Your visitors are likely to be members of at least one of the major social networks and if they are linked to you then a link to your article will appear in their time line. If your article title is interesting to them, they will click the link and find themselves on your website.
Sounds simple. Well at its base level it is.
A little known fact is that the social networks themselves have search facilities built in. They themselves are starting to be secondary search engines and there is an implied level of trust when their members make their searches.
Also by making such a social bookmark you are creating a natural back link to your website from a high PR domain that Google respects and will credit to your website. SEO TIP make sure that any social bookmark you make has a link to your home page or landing page.
Another key aspect is that of information sharing. If the content of your article is good enough then your those people you have shared your article with will share it with their members. This means that your article and your website will get much more coverage than you could imagine.
There is a good reason why the most successful websites use social media, not only for visitor engagement but for getting their message out there.
So in answering the question "is social media good for SEO?" the answer has to be more than yes, it is essential.

Dear Heloise: My front-entry garden has been used by a neighborhood cat for his litter box. I have not been able to remove this odor. Do you have a solution for this problem? — Barbara, via email
Barbara, here are a few things to help remove the odor. Take the top ½ inch of soil off and replace it, if you can. Then mix a solution of ½ vinegar and ½ water, and spray directly on the soil.
The important thing is to keep the cat from continuing to use your garden as its litter box. Throw citrus peels around the garden, or, if you can, place pine cones over the soil. Cats will no longer have easy access, but you still will be able to water. — Heloise
Dear Heloise: My family is quite large, and on birthdays and holidays, we always buy sheet cakes. The plastic boxes they come in make good storage boxes. You can see what you have stored, and they stack well on shelves in closets. — Paula C., Bakersfield, Calif.
Dear Heloise: I am going on a trip in a few weeks with my 1-year-old. Do you have any hints for childproofing a hotel room? — Wanda in Virginia
Wanda, traveling with a toddler can be stressful without having to worry about your hotel room! Here is some advice on childproofing while traveling:
■ Pack outlet plugs. They are small and don't take up a lot of space.
■ Tie up loose cords, such as curtain pulls. Hair ties work well for this.
■ Unplug and store electrical appliances. Most hotels provide hair dryers and coffee makers. Store them out of reach when not in use.
■ Cover sharp edges with washcloths and tape.
Remember, children are curious, and a hotel room is a new place to explore! Get down on their level to scope out any other potential hazards. Check with your hotel. Some now offer childproofing kits for use while there. — Heloise
Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 210-HELOISE or email it to email@example.com.

Originally taped for an HBO hour special, this delight features SCTV alums John Candy and Eugene Levy as the Shmenge brothers, the "Leutonian" siblings who rose to polka stardom via such vehicles as their bowling and polka TV series, Strikes, Spares and Shmenges. Candy and Levy wrote the script, the highlight of which is the Shmenges' desperate comeback attempt; Candy and Levy incorporate a polkafied version of Michael Jackson's Beat It and moonwalk into the act. Director John Blanchard neatly apes rockumentary editing—one vapid comment is juxtaposed to another—and another SCTV veteran, Rick Moranis, adds a priceless bit as Linsk Minyk, the polka version of a Vegas lounge singer. While the humor has bite, it never seems mean-spirited. What's being made fun of is not Eastern Europeans or polka music; it is the way our culture creates and treats celebrities. (Vestron, $59.95)

Greetings forumites,
I am starting university in a week. One of main concerns of the move is keeping myself fed and watered in accordance to the Primal Blueprint. I'm going to be doing my best to forage in the dining halls and on-campus eateries, but I'm mostly worried about how to eat in my dorm room.
What sorts of primal foods can you prepare using a microwave and a mini-fridge?
for the microwave: sweet potatoes work really well, same with thin white fish like tilapia, orange roughy, whiting. If you really wanted to you could even cook chicken thighs in the microwave, I did it regularly when I was in a dorm room, the only catch is that it doesn't taste nearly as good and you need to cover it because it will 'pop' occasionally.
otherwise: canned fish, coconut flakes, any veggies that you like to eat raw, nuts, seeds, and of course butter to spread atop anything and everything.
A lot of veggies can be steamed pretty well in the microwave.. just add a little water (or leave them really wet after washing), and cover the container most of the way but leave a little room for air to escape.
Buying one of those $5ish cooked rotisserie chickens from the store will give you a couple meals of meat.
There's canned tuna, salmon, chicken, sardines.
Find a good source of jerky that doesn't have lots of sugar and junk.
Bacon microwaves quite well, and microwaving has been shown to produce less of those carcinogenic compounds from the nitrites than frying does, so that's a plus!
"mayness, you need to have a siggy line that says "Paleo Information Desk" or something!" -FMN <3
I'm blogging again, at least a little bit.
as to OP, others suggestions for rotisserie chicken and canned meats are excellent suggestions. Fruits and veggies are easy enough--they require no fridge and can be eaten raw of steamed in the microwave! Also, you may want to get some protein powder for meal replacement shakes.
My dorm had a kitchen and a set of pans that actually included a wonderfully-seasoned carbon steel wok. I bought a decent cutting board and a few sharp knives and I'd make a couple batches of meat-/w-stuff-in-a-pan during the week. I usually made 4-6 servings and packaged up the leftovers before I even did dishes (the kitchen was also stocked with dishsoap). Then all I needed to do was grab one and pop it in the microwave. Hard boiled eggs are convenient and fast for breakfast. Chopped salads are easy and terrific with a cup of primal chili.
Sometimes I'd make a pot of soup, and would take my books into the kitchen and study while stuff simmered. It was also a great way to meet people - folks would always want to pop their head in and see what smelled good. Sure it wasn't a great kitchen, and you wouldn't have wanted to make anything complex there, but it was more than sufficient to make some simple-yet-awesome one-pot primal meals. My little fridge could easily hold enough food for nearly a week.

Some really big concert news came out yesterday. First- Bruno Mars IS coming to Calgary. He was on Ellen yesterday and announced a worldwide tour. He announced about 40 North American cities and there are quite a few Canadian towns on there- if you wanted to be a Bruno Stalker, you could totally follow him around. Jay Z and Justin Timberlake also announced that they'll be doing 10 stadium shows this summer. Chances are a little lower that they'll come here, but you never know and no matter what you know Virgin Radio has the hook up to send you to concerts all over the world.
A Canadian Girl has been named TV's Most Beautiful Woman- Elisha Cuthbert! She's come a long way from Popular Mechanics for kids. Of course she had her role on 24 but it's her part on Happy Endings that has really shown how hilarious she is! Elisha says she doesn't think it's possible to pick on most beautiful woman but will accept with grace. She did mention one downside saying that being on a show with two other beautiful women will make things awkward at work.
Justin Bieber has responded to an insult from the drummer of The Black Keys. That band won a few awards at the Grammys the other night and were asked about Justin's Grammy snub. The drummer basically said Justin didn't deserve a Grammy because he's rich. The Biebs tweeted yesterday "The Black Keys drummer should be slapped around" He did add a haha but that was enough for Beliebers to start hurling insults at the drummer, which he in turn just mocked.
On TV tonight It's the girls turn on Hollywood Week on American Idol, Survivor 47 and Strange Addiction's Season premiere featuring a woman addicted to eating cat hair. GROSS!!!!!

Think of it as health insurance. You are reducing inflammation by eating foods higher in Omega 3s, as well as eliminating hormones or antibiotics that can mess up your system. Kinder to the animals, too.

It's worth it just for the flavour. There's a huuuuuge difference between a nice, orange-yolked, satisfying pastured egg and a tasteless pale-yellow blob of a store egg. And there's no point in eating steak that doesn't taste like steak. I ate grain-fed prime rib roast a few days ago (at a friend's) and it tasted like... nothing. Grass-fed beef tastes like beef.
Buy some of both - whatever it is - and do a side-by-side comparison. If you can afford to buy the calories you need and do it pastured, you'll find a way.
do your own research and figure it out for yourself.
versus this:
^Jesus Christ....
It's highly worth it. Once you go grass-fed, you'll never go back. I gag at the thought of CAFO beef now. It doesn't even taste like the same animal.
You should see "King Corn." One part of the documentary is about what happens to cows who are forced to eat corn. If they weren't slaughtered at their certain age, they would die pretty soon thereafter anyway ... from what the corn does to them.
As my ex-BF used to say: "Pay the farmer or pay the doctor. It's your choice."
"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." -- Hippocrates
One good reason to buy organic eggs - they are a cheap source of excellent protein, even paying a premiumfor farm fresh or organic. I pay $4/dozen. That's $1.00 for 3 eggs. So if money is tight at a minimum buy good eggs.
Organic meat is more expensive per serving, but it has the right kinds of omegas that your body needs. I buy organic ground beef and chicken thighs at Costço. The rest of my eat is usually conventional.
Go in on 1/16 of a cow with people locally. A good butcher can probably hook you up with others looking to cow-pool. It's a good way to get about 35 lb of awesome meat relatively cheap.
August 2010: 207 lb, 37" waist, 25+% BF | Currently: 177 lb, 33" waist, ~15% BF
I have a new site up and will soon be blogging at The Wayward Mind. (My journal is semi-retired at this point)
If you can find some local farms to get your eggs, veggies and meat from - you can often get it for the same price as the supermarket or less. So you don't really have to 'fork over' for the good stuff. It takes a little effort but it's well worth it. Paying 3 times as much at the store? Not so much.

By SEANNA ADCOX
Associated Press
COLUMBIA - South Carolina's sophomores have ushered out the final year of the high school exit exam with their worst passing rate since 2009.
Data posted on the state Education Department website shows that 77.4 percent of first-time test-takers passed both the English and math sections of the High School Assessment Program last spring.
That's down from 82 percent in 2013. The passing rate had been climbing upward since 2009 when it was 76.4 percent.
Education officials say a new law signed in April abolishing the exit exam could partly explain the drop. They suggested some students might have put forth less effort knowing their scores carried no personal consequence.
"We don't know the exact extent, but we do think it had something to do with it given the time frame," Dana Yow, spokeswoman for the state Education Oversight Committee, said Thursday.
South Carolina Education Superintendent Mick Zais said in a Friday news release that the drop in scores, particularly in math, was disappointing.
"While the requirement to pass an exit exam has been eliminated in South Carolina, we must continue striving for high-level achievement by all students. Next year, students will be taking an assessment to determine their college and career readiness along with WorkKeys, and we must work together to ensure improved outcomes on these tests," Zais said.
The scores will still be used to grade high schools and districts on 2014 state report cards issued this fall.
The law, signed April 14, ended the three-decade-old requirement that students pass an exit exam to graduate, starting with the Class of 2015. Students across the state took the High School Assessment Program between April 1 and April 18. By April 1, both the House and Senate had already given the measure overwhelming approval. The final vote was April 9.
Beginning with this school year, the HSAP won't exist at all. Instead, 11th graders will take two tests considered more useful to students' future success, with scores that can go on work resumes or college admissions applications.
Previously, students had to pass both the math and English sections of the exit exam to graduate, initially taking the tests in their second year of high school. Those who didn't pass both on their first attempt had several chances to retake any part they failed.
Under the law, former students who didn't graduate solely because of the exam can petition their school board to retroactively receive a diploma. The petition deadline is Dec. 31, 2015.
Just 7 percent of 2012-13 high school seniors didn't receive a diploma because they couldn't pass both sections before the school year ended, according to the Education Department.
The switch from HSAP follows recommendations by the independent Education Oversight Committee. The nearly $4 million the state has spent on HSAP will be redirected to the other tests.
The law specifies that one will be ACT's WorkKeys, a work-skills assessment system that awards certificates for qualifying scores, from bronze to platinum, which students can take to employers. The state Chamber of Commerce pushed for WorkKeys as a practical test that help match students to jobs.
The other will test for college readiness. That could be either the SAT or ACT college-entrance exam.

Soft Negligence and Cause in Fact: A Comment on Ganuza and Gomez
Giuseppe Dari‐Mattiacci
University of Amsterdam - Amsterdam Center for Law & Economics (ACLE); Tinbergen Institute
September 2004
George Mason Law & Economics Research Paper No. 04-37
Lowering the standard of negligence below the first-best socially optimal level has been shown by Ganuza and Gomez (2004) to increase the level of care taken by judgment proof injurers. In this paper, I consider a more complex model of negligence in which cause in fact is taken into account, and I show that this conclusion holds when the injurer's care reduces the magnitude of the accidental harm but not when the injurer's care reduces the probability of the accident. Thus, such soft negligence strategies aimed at tackling the adverse effects of judgment proofness need to be conditioned to the accident prevention technology available to injurers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Young Brothers, Limited receives inquiries regarding our services on a daily basis. To help our customers find the answers to the questions they have, here are a few of our most frequently asked questions. If the information listed below does not answer your questions or you require more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Is Young Brothers required to prepare environmental impact statements (EIS) or environmental assesments?
All harbor improvements at YB facilities must comply with the State's environmental review process. Any new use of State property or funds "triggers" an environmental review under HRS Chapter 343. Like other commercial harbor users, YB occupies State Department of Transportation (DOT) property. In exchange for the use of DOT property, we pay various harbor fees such as lease payments, revocable permit payments, and dockage, wharfage, and storage fees. Because YB has operated continuously for decades, and because DOT periodically conducts harbor master plans and environmental reviews of those plans, YB's use of harbor facilities have consistently been covered by such DOT reviews. However, any new YB facility improvements not previously covered by a master plan would trigger a separate environmental review. As a general rule, the greater the potential impact, the higher the level of review.
Shipping Goods
Does Young Brothers offer a discount for local agricultural products?
YB offers extremely reasonable rates for local agricultural products. Specifically, YB has offered an "Island Product" discount for decades. In 1995, that discount was raised to 30% for less than container load (LCL) shipments. More recently, a 35% discount for straight load container shipments has been added. For example, a Maui customer can ship 400 pounds of produce for about $52, including YB services to load the pallet into a YB refrigerated container, load the container onto the barge, transport the refrigerated container via barge, and unload it in Honolulu the next day. (This price fluctuates with the cost of fuel.) We also have similarly discounted rates on farming "inputs" like feed, fertilizer, and fiberboard.
Can agricultural products be refrigerated during transport on a Young Brothers barge?
Yes. For years, YB has supported local farmers with refrigeration services at extremely reasonable rates. YB accepts straight-load refrigerated containers, as well as less-than-container-loads (LCL). Containers can be provided by YB, or shippers may use their own equipment. For LCL, YB stevedores will load the cargo into a YB refrigerated container, load the container onto the barge, transport the refrigerated container via barge, and unload the cargo from the container at the destination port.
How and when should I pay for my shipment?
Young Brothers accepts cash, personal checks or charge cards (MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover). Customers may also establish an account with Young Brothers and charge their account. Customers have the option of paying for the freight charges at the time of drop off (Port of Origin) or at the time of pick up (Port of Destination).
I have a small box I need to send to Kauai. Can I ship it through Young Brothers?
Yes, Young Brothers will be glad to assist you. Your box does not require reservations and should be brought to Young Brothers one day prior to the barge sailing date or at the very latest by 11:00 a.m. on the day of the barge sailing.
When is the latest I can drop off my cargo and have it make the barge?
Young Brothers recommends that cargo be delivered the day prior to the barge sailing date. If this is not possible, cargo should be delivered as early as possible on the date the barge is scheduled to sail. Click here for schedules.
Can I ship from Maui to Kauai?
Yes, although Young Brothers does NOT directly sail from one neighbor island port to another. The cargo may be shipped from Maui to Honolulu, where it would be discharged and loaded onto the barge departing for Kauai. Young Brothers calls this a transshipment.
Does Young Brothers ship to the mainland?
Young Brothers does NOT ship outside the State of Hawaii.
Shipping Vehicles
Does Young Brothers allow refrigeration trucks to plug in to power outlets during the voyage?
YB transports cargo in refrigerated containers – not refrigeration trucks. At YB, customers bring perishable cargo in refrigerated containers (either provided by Young Brothers or owned by the shipper) or in smaller units such as pallets or boxes, which YB stevedores load into YB refrigerated containers. Either way, all cargo is "plugged in" while in YB's care.
Does Young Brothers charge an extra weight fee, and would it apply to my vehicle?
The extra weight fee applies to any cargo (including vehicles and containers) exceeding 60,000 pounds (30 tons). Automobiles are typically up to 6,500 pounds (a little over 3 tons).
What is required to ship my car to another island?
Reservations are required for all automobile shipments and should be placed at least two weeks in advance by calling any Young Brothers Office.

How long does it take a Young Brothers barge to sail to its destination?
YB's barges provide next day delivery. We generally load our barges during the day, set sail in the evening, and arrive the next day. Depending on the type of cargo, a customer may be able to drop off cargo at a YB one day and pickup at another YB port the next day. You can check our recommended delivery and availability information on our Schedules and Maps Section
