DENVER — On the brink of a strike against supermarket employers, members of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 here voted this week to oust its longtime president, Ernest Duran, along with 19 of 25 members of its board of directors. Kim Cordova, a rank-and-file employee of Safeway, will take over as president Jan. 1. It was unclear how or if the voting would affect ongoing consideration of a "final offer" from employers Safeway and Kroger/King Soopers. Published reports this week ...

using variables declared outside of a function
Well I'm sure someone here has wondered why wont my function use the variable I defined outside of it like it does in javascript? Php does not have global variables by default so if you define a variable in a function it is closed for use in that function naturally but if you define a variable you can use it in a function by setting it as global.
PHP Code:
To get around this we can use global declaration in the function.
This makes the variable global so it will use the value from a variable not defined in the function. This makes the variables scope global.

Client – The SEWA Shantipath Program
Background – The Shantipath Program was born out of SEWA's relief work in response to the Gujarat riots of 2002. Though the cause of the riots is still debated the riots were based in conflict between the Hindu and Muslim communities within Gujarat. The Indian Prime Minister tasked SEWA with providing for the widows and orphans created during this violence. Through religious education, vocational training, and schooling Shantipath has made significant progress mending the damage of this atrocity. One key way that the "Shanta-bens" (Peace Sisters) were able to accomplish this was through linking women with livelihoods. This provided both income and empowerment for women within their family and community.
Initial Project Mandate – Assess the impact of these centers as training and business hubs and recommend ways to increase livelihood opportunities
Post Field Project Mandate – Develop a plan for implementation of two pilot "Business Hub", a marketing brochure, and an impact assessment of the Shantipath Peace Centre Program.
Challenge – Create a viable solution with the scope to grow with the economic landscape of the Ahmedabad based on minimal information.
Personal Impact – Prior to leaving for India it was mentioned during one of our information sessions that the women we would be working with are very intelligent and capable, and that is exactly what they were. Most of the senior management has completed graduate level education, and even those members with an eight-grade education have years of experience addressing the livelihood problems within Ahmedabad. In the last 10 years these women have increased the income, skill, and employment levels of the SEWA membership in their communities. We were not there to provide some unique insight through the lens of a US MBA student, but to provide an additional perspective. The main reason that I went to India was to experience the informal jobs sector in India and my experience with the leaders and membership far exceeded my expectations.

UNEP Risoe Centre: Call for CDM Projects and Participation in CASCADe CDM Capacity Building Workshops
November 2008: The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) Risoe
Centre on Energy, Climate and Sustainable Development has announced calls for
clean development mechanism (CDM) and voluntary market projects in Benin and
Mali for project sponsors who want to participate in CDM capacity building
workshops to be held in the two countries.
The CDM capacity building workshops
will be held from: 17–19 November 2008, in Cotonou, Benin; and 18–20 November
2008, in Bamako, Mali. The two workshops are being organized by Carbon Finance
for Agriculture, Silviculture, Conservation and Action against Deforestation
(CASCADe), a UNEP project aimed at enhancing expertise for generating carbon
credits from land use, land use change and forestry, as well as bioenergy
activities in Sub-Saharan Africa. The capacity building workshops will consist
of training on the CDM and voluntary carbon markets, followed by practical
discussions with experts to provide technical support. The workshops are open
to project sponsors who work on: agroforestry; reforestation; avoided
deforestation; and bioenergy, including cogeneration and renewable energy
linked to agriculture and reforestation.
To register for the workshops,
participants are required to send files introducing their prospective CDM or
voluntary market projects. [CASCADe

Dual Sphere-Unfolding/Omni-directional shadow maps
#1 Members - Reputation: 685
Posted 19 July 2012 - 07:07 AM
I think that dual paraboloid and cube map shadows are two typical choices. I have used the latter in the past. While looking for alternatives that might perform faster with comparable quality I came across Dual Sphere-Unfolding Shadow Maps, which are rendered in a single pass. Has anyone tried it? Is there a more detailed explanation of the method around? Any other methods that are worth looking into?
#2 Members - Reputation: 445
Posted 19 July 2012 - 05:19 PM
BUT you'll want to have a very fine geometry in order to obtain accurate shadows: the projection used to store the whole shadow sphere in a single texture will highly bend the geometric data, thus leading to frequent artifacts during the depth comparison.
(Though I had to rush that project so I might have missed something)
Still, it was tremendously fast and produced cool shadows... If you don't stare at them too much

This technique seems to remain unnoticed (or people consider that such artifacts are unworthy of their time ).
There is this video, made by the author of Dual-Sphere Unfolding (It was my only help when implementing my demo), but nothing from the community.
If you ever find something, I would be greatly interested.

It would be nice to see your results in case you find the time and implement it.
It's just simply sphere mapping. The only difference is, that they use 2 sphere maps and let the vertex shader decide on which one the vertex gets projected, based on whether the y axis is positive or negative. They say that it would be a one pass method, but I really doubt it. I don't think that a triangle that has vertices on both sides of the xz-plane wouldn't cause artifacts. You'd probably still need a geometry shader or 2 passes to render these shadow maps without artifacts. I think it's worse than dual paraboloid shadow mapping, but I'll give it a try.

The least amount of geometry warping that I know of, and still very efficient

Last time I tried it, using the geometry shader for single pass cubemapping was slower on my machine than doing a pass for every cube face. Have you seen more encouraging results?
I would also try single pass cubemapping using the geometry shader: http://devmaster.net...-really-useful/

Mandatory Disclosure and Operational Risk: Evidence from Hedge Fund Registration

Yale ICF Working Paper No. 06-15
Mandatory disclosure is a regulatory tool intended to allow market participants to assess operational risk. We examine the value of disclosure through the controversial SEC requirement, since overturned, which required major hedge funds to register as investment advisors and file Form ADV disclosures. Leverage and ownership structures suggest that lenders and equity investors were already aware of operational risk. However, operational risk does not mediate flow-performance relationships. Investors either lack this information or regard it as immaterial. These findings suggest that regulators should account for the endogenous production of information and the marginal benefit of disclosure to different investment clienteles.

Sleek liquid eye liner pen draws a precise line with ease!
The fine tip applicator is firm but gentle and draws a richly pigmented black line.
Features and Benefits
Weight: 0.03 fl oz/1.1 ml
Hold the pen at an angle so the tip lies flat against the lash line. Start at the center of the eye and work outward. This will prevent a too-thick line at the inner corner. Slowly draw tiny strokes tight along the lash line toward the outer corner of the eye.
To create a classic day look, end the liner right at the outer corner where the lashes stop.
For a high fashion look or a retro flare, apply the liner past the lashes lifting upwards towards the brows created a slightly winged out effect.
Now draw tiny strokes toward the inner corner of the eye. The line should taper to its smallest point at the inner corner.
Repeat the application if a thicker, bolder line is desired.
For a classic daytime look, end the liner right at the outer corner where the lashes stop.
For a cat eye look, extend the liner past the lashes, lifting upwards towards the brows to create a winged effect.
*Store pen horizontally for best results.

Former Dewey Leaders Seek to Limit Personal Liability
The top three former executives at Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, the defunct law firm, filed objections to aspects of the proposed settlements with about 400 partners designed to bring in $71 million.
Steven Davis, the former chairman; Stephen DiCarmine, the former executive director, and Joel Sanders, the ex-chief financial officer, said last week that it's improper that releases under the settlements end up making them solely liable for the firm's failure.
The law doesn't permit the settlements to eliminate their rights to have liability for only their "proportionate share" of damages, the three ex-executives said in a filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. They also object to making secret the identities of the settling partners, saying they need to know who settled in preparing their defenses.
The firm's former leaders also want the bankruptcy judge to strike a provision that would prevent settling partners from helping them fight lawsuits. The settlements come up for approval at a Sept. 20 hearing.
Several former partners have a motion scheduled for hearing that day asking the judge to appoint a Chapter 11 trustee. The official committee representing partners instead advocates having an examiner perform an investigation before settlements are approved.
Dewey once had 1,300 lawyers before liquidation began under Chapter 11 in May. The petition listed assets of $193 million and liabilities of $245.4 million as of April 30.
The case is In re Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, 12-12321, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

The process of cervical carcinogenesis may take between 10 and 30 years from HPV infection to progression to invasive cancer, and many HPV infections never cause cancer. Thus, it is unclear if cervical cancer represents a threat to older women who face competing causes of mortality, if benefits outweigh harms in this group, and if screening into older age is a reasonable expenditure. Conducting a randomized trial to evaluate the effects of screening older women would not be feasible given the relative rarity of cervical cancer, the length of follow-up needed, and the large sample size required. In this situation, mathematical modeling can simulate population harms, benefits, and costs, and can guide policy decisions. A validated model shows that extending biennial screening with Pap smears and HPV testing from age 65 years to age 75 years would entail an additional 400 000 false-positive results. Biennial screening with Pap smears and for HPV between the ages of 20 and 65 years captures 86.6% of the benefits of lifetime
Costs and outcomes of biennial Papanicolaou test and human papillomavirus screening by age at screening cessation. The left-hand axis displays the incremental costs of screening and the right-hand axis shows the incremental quality-adjusted life-days (QALDs) saved using biennial screening with Papanicolaou and human papillomavirus testing, compared with biennial Papanicolaou screening alone.

Francis Scott Key's Star-Spangled Bannerby Monica Kulling Richard Walz
Francis Scott Key was a very busy man. He and his wife had 11 children. He was a lawyer and many people came to him for advice. But whenever he had a moment, he would jot down a line of poetry. He loved writing poems. When the War of 1812 broke out, Francis became even busier. He was well-respected and often called upon to help keep the peace as the war between the United States and England raged on. One fateful night Francis and his friend helped talk the British Navy into releasing a prisoner of war. But they couldn't return home just yet because the Battle of Fort McHenry was starting! If the British captured the fort, America might very well lose its independence. Francis and his friends could only sit on a boat and observe the battle. For 25 hours they watched in awe. What Francis saw inspired him to write a poem that would become America's national anthem!

Great Expectations (Adapted)by Charles Dickens Monica Kulling
One of Charles Dickens's most fascinating novels, Great Expectations follows the orphan Pip as he leaves behind a childhood of misery and poverty after an anonymous benefactor offers him a chance at the life of a gentleman. From the young Pip's first terrifying encounter with the convict Magwitch in the gloom of a graveyard to the splendidly morbid set pieces in Miss Havisham's mansion to the magnificently realized boat chase down the Thames, Great Expectations is filled with the transcendent excitement that Dickens could so abundantly provide. Written in 1860, at the height of his maturity, it also reveals the novelist's bittersweet understanding of the extent to which our deepest moral dilemmas are born of our own obsessions and illusions. This edition includes Dickens's original, discarded conclusion to the novel, the 1907 Everyman preface by G. K. Chesterton, and twenty illustrations by F. W. Pailthorpe.

It's A Snap! George Eastman's First Photographby Monica Kulling
In 1877 in Rochester, New York, George Eastman couldn't understand why picture-taking was so difficult. Having left school at fourteen to support his mother and two sisters, George decided to find out by making photography his hobby. He packed up glass plates, a plate holder, a tent, a heavy tripod, a thick piece of black cloth, a water jug, and chemicals and set off to take his first photograph. George realized that not many people could own a camera -- they were too expensive and the size of today's microwave ovens! But how could he make picture-taking easier? Eventually, George created dry plates, and they were such a success that he opened his own dry-plate company in 1881. But this was only the beginning -- George went on to invent film and the Brownie camera. The rest is history.

Meb Keflezighi, 38, led the pack of runners Monday, giving a happy ending to the city's first marathon since last year's tragic bombing killed three people and injured more than 260.
Keflezighi is the first U.S. man to finish first since 1983 – and the first American since 1985, when Lisa Larsen-Weidenbach won the women's race, the Associated Press reports. A former Olympian, he clocked at 2:08:38. Before the race, he Tweeted a message of hope, sharing a photo of his three daughters "in the Boston Strong spirit."
Though Kenya's Rita Jeptoo won the women's title for the second year in a row with a time of 2:18:57, Boston local Shalane Flanagan, 32, made her hometown proud, winning fifth after a strong start. Jeptoo, 33, broke a course record with her time of 2:18:57, according to the Associated Press.

how to connect the database using c++
Hi Everyone,
I want to connect the database using c++ or c language.
how to connect .Can you explain ............................
Re: how to connect the database using c++
That would all depend on the database and the platform. If you're connecting to an ODBC compatible database, you need of course ODBC drivers on each workstation and program against the ODBC API. If you are going to use a native interface to your database, you need custom libraries from your database vendor, possibly specific for your compiler as well.

All too often, it seems we are reminded of the mortality of man when the shocking news that one of our heroes, someone whose athletic prowess we watch and cheer on week in and week out, has made headlines for a much more tragic reason: their untimely and ultimately senseless death at much too early an age.
While some were entering the twilight of their careers, others were just getting started, only to have circumstances dictate that their time was most decidedly finished.
Here then, in no particular order, are the 15 biggest tragedies in the first decade of this century.

A color challenge that is! February's color challenge is so beautiful and I was more than delighted to play along! Take a look at this color palette - so pretty for Spring don't you think?!
As soon as I saw this combination I knew exactly what picture I was going to use! My niece's daughter Katelynn is often a subject for my pages. She is a ham for the camera and this picture is no exception! Here's my layout ...
Here's a few close-ups ... The alpha was painted with twinkling H20's and I added white rub-ons to tone down the pink. I added liquid pearls to "dance" and then added some glitter flakes while it was wet ...
The handmade flower was made by punching eight 2.0" scalloped circles, wetting the circles and crumpling while wet. Then layer all eight circles together, add a brad to the middle and scrunch each layer towards the center. I then added some white paint to accent the flower and placed some pink tulle behind the flower ...
Supplies Used:
- Patterned Papers: Basic Grey's Kissing Booth, Making Memories Flutter
- Alpha: Basic Grey, Thickers
- Twinkling H20's: Apple Blossom, Lucky Apple
- Ranger: Liquid Pearls
- Twine: The Twinery
- Other: Tickets, Cirlce Calendar, Stick Pins, Doily's, Chalk Inks, Rub-ons, Glass Glitter, Butterfly Punch

Show Us Your Dove Recipes and Prove Anti-Hunters Wrong- (08/28) Michigan Join our e-mail alert list
In their quest to ban dove hunting in Michigan by ballot in November, anti-hunters have stated repeatedly that doves are not eaten by hunters, giving the impression that they are left in the field to rot.
The U.S. Sportsmens Alliance wants sportsmen across the country to prove the anti-hunters wrong by submitting their best dove recipe and perhaps winning a sportsmens prize package for doing so.
Anti-hunting groups in Michigan have created a campaign of misinformation designed to win the votes of urban-dwellers and non-hunters across the state. Within every treatise they print or email about why dove hunting should be banned, they state that doves are nothing more than live target practice. There isnt enough meat on them to make eating them worthwhile. And in fact, they give the impression that no one eats them.
As any sportsman lucky enough to bring home a limit of doves knows, there is a reason that doves are the most popular gamebird in America. Beyond the fact that doves routinely challenge the shooting skills of even the best wingshot, they just plain taste good. Whether its grilled, fried or roasted, doves are at the top of the pile when it comes to good wild game fare.
In response to this falsehood by the anti-hunters the U.S. Sportsmens Alliance is asking sportsmen for their best dove recipe. For a gamebird that no one eats, there sure are a lot of recipes for preparing them and the USSA wants them all.
Send your best dove recipe and it will be posted on the USSA website. Show the anti-hunters in Michigan that, in fact, sportsmen do eat doves. There are as many recipes for preparing them as there are hunters fighting to continue hunting these great gamebirds.
Send your recipes, along with name, address, email address and telephone number to email@example.com or to Dove Recipes, U.S. Sportsmens Alliance, 801 Kingsmill Parkway, Columbus, OH 43229-1137.
All recipes will be posted, along with the name and state of its contributor. All who send in a recipe will be eligible for a sportsmens prize package featuring a Gerber knife, a Streamlight flashlight and USSA travel mug, shooting shirt and camo and blaze orange cap.
All who contribute a recipe will be eligible. Please send as many recipes as you wish, however only one entry will be submitted in the prize drawing per contributor. Only one prize package will be awarded. The winner will be chosen, at random, on October 1.
Information on this website can be reprinted with a citation to the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance and www.ussportsmen.org
They should have one of those cook offs, where people can sample the recipes and have judges taste test them. Best way to determine the winner.
best recipe for clay birds??????
I'd like to contribute a dove recipe. Trouble is I never seem to be able to hit the little buggers. I'm death on quail, but those fast-moving little grey birds have always gotten the best of me.
Give me a nice big, bird like a goose, pheasant, or turkey, any day. I can hit them.
I don't do the cooking so I don't have the recipe, but I love them sauteed in a skillet with brown gravy.
I remember when PETA launched its anti fishing campaign. They went to a fishing tournament to protest cruelty to the fish.
A local radio station set up a remote broadcast across from the PETA protestors, they had a free fish fry for the public. It was great.
Clean the dove. Make an eggwash and put doves in. Roll em in peppered flour. Fry til crisp. Eat about a thousand of them. Wait til deer season and repeat recipe. Squirrel season...repeat. Bake the turkey. fry the fish. Gun em down and cook em up. Love that Ted Nugent.
Stick dove between teeth and gums. Enjoy smokeless dove satisfaction all day.
I've only had dove a few times, it was incredibly delicious.
Dove and shallots, french sauce, damn fine dining experience.
Kill it and Grill it! .....with lots of garlic butter..........
It has been a long time but I seem to remember it goes like this: Skin out breast, throw the skin legs and wings away, salt pepper, dredge in flour and deep fry. Even a caveman could do it. Yum!
Have sample "Dove Nuggets" at your polling place for folks to try.
Grew up and worked on a farm in upstate NY. Had a huge wire silo that we always filled with corn, and the pigeons were very well fed. Routinely took half a dozen birds or so, man were they good!
A little olive oil in the pan. Onion, celery, carrot and some garlic gets sauteed. Add dove meat. when almost done, remove from pan. Deglaze with some cabernet, run through strainer, add a little flour, salt and pepper and return bird meat to pan.
Serve with wild rice and veggie of choice. Drink rest of wine in bottle.
Or how I used to do it in NYC.
Wait outside of UN for Doves to appear. On any given Sunday there could be dozens of them. Laugh hysterically at them, call them code pinkos and go to Blarney Stone for some beer and bangers.
Season with salt and pepper. Wrap with a slice of bacon, and wedge a slice of jalapeno pepper between the bacon and bird. Grill.
Hilarious and good eating, too!
I am all over that, especially the wine part. I bet you use a California cabernet...not French.
Look out for the yellow bellied Kofi dove and the yellow winged Kerry loon.
You ate pigeons? pigeons???? Did you try the rats too?
"I am all over that, especially the wine part. I bet you use a California cabernet...not French. "
The only thing French I eat is French toast and that's pushing it.
I have French doors going to my sunroom.
Yup. Just like that.
"You ate pigeons? pigeons???? Did you try the rats too?"
Pigeons are called squab. They used to sell them in the slaughterhouses in Brooklyn. Bunnies also. But no rats.
I keep hearing about squirrel. I guess those are RATS with bushy tails?
What exactly do you think a dove is?
~ 1 cup flour
~ 10 dove breasts
~ 1 stick butter or margarine
~ 2 cloves garlic, minced
~ 1/2 cup water
~ 1/2 cup cooking sherry
Preheat oven to 350°.
In skillet, melt butter or margarine. Add garlic and simmer 1 minute to release the flavor of the garlic.
Dredge dove breasts in flour and brown in skillet.
Place breasts in baking dish. Cover with water and sherry. Bake 1 hour.
Serve with rice or noodles.
I always toss 'em in the rubberized game pouch, when I'm lucky enough to hit 'em.
Now just where did you get that picture of Mr. Ditter?
You never heard of SQUAB?
Squab or young pigeon are processed at four weeks of age, and they are available all year round fresh although there are occasional shortages.
Squab - young pigeon with head on, feathers and feet off and gut out (sized in 50 grams increments) IW
200-500 grams
Squab Supreme - double breast fillet skin on with first wing joint attached
100-200 grams
As Required
Squab Maryland - drumstick and thigh bone in
I love doves! They're challenging to shoot and easy to clean. :-)
Make an ashtray out of 'em?
Man, that sounds good! We normally baked them poultry style, a bit of poultry seasoning, garlic and onions wrapped in foil.
I love to cook. It is one of those things that really are worthwhile. When I go on a lasagna rampage, I usually make at least 4 lasagnas, with and without meat, and different sauces.
Takes at least a day to clean up after, though.
Dove Breasts
Chedder Cheese
Fresh Jalapenos
Lawrey's seasoned salt
Pace Picante Sauce (Mild or Hot depending on your taste)
Breast the doves into two seperate pieces of meat
Marinate meat in Pace Picante Sauce & Lawrey's seasoned salt
Half the jalapeno peppers iand remove the seeds
Fill the pepper with cheese
Place a piece of meat on each side of pepper and wrap with bacon.
Place a toothpick through the bacon, meat and pepper to hold 'em together.
Throw 'em on the grill.
Hawk food?
Whether its grilled, fried or roasted, doves are at the top of the pile when it comes to good wild game fare.
The top of what pile? Surely you would not seriously try to suggest that wild dove is the best tasting wild game! I cannot comprehend such a suggestion. I wouldn't trade one Bobwhite quail for a truck load of doves.
Mourning doves, in addition to being plentiful all over Michigan, are also kosher. Many times I have contemplated grabbing one or two off my back porch.
marinate dove breasts over night in italian dressing, soy sauce, and a good splash of tabasco.
wrap each breast with a half slice of bacon securing with toothpicks.
grill over hot coals til bacon is cooked.
you pretty much want the dove meat cooked like you like steak. i like it still kind of pink/medium.
serve with red wine of your choice.
Some of the most enjoyable meals of my life have been doves on a brisk fall evening. I only cooked them one way, and that was by coating them with flour, salt and pepper and quickly browning them in hot oil. After that I would simmer them until done, replacing them with milk in the skillet to produce a nice gravy to go over the mashed potatoes. (Does that e belong there. I'll have to ask Dan Quayle. Oops, thats another great game bird.
One fall evening over twenty-five years ago some of my hunting friends and I had saved our doves from a few hunts and had a family dove dinner at my house. Counting kids, there were about twenty people to feed doves to, so getting them ready at the same time required several electric skillets, in addition to the stove. At that time our house still had the old fashioned fuses. They began to blow as more electrical devices were loaded up. After three or four fused were blown and replaced, someone was stationed at the fusebox with a box of fuses until dinner was ready.
I would wager that some of those kids are telling their kids about that dinner right about now as they eagerly wait for opening day of dove season the Saturday before Labor Day.
If it came down to it, hell, I'd eat a rat. A country rat, not a city rat.
There's a couple squirrels in my back yard that are livin on borrowed time... not that I'm starvin, but they like to plays games with my hound, and he don't appreciate it.
I roll them in buttermilk and grill them or roll them in buttermilk and then dip them in corn meal and deep fry them.
Something about european ring-necked invading the US and wiping out our indigenous species the other day.... recommended unlimited bags. I'll have to find it.
Something I have really come to enjoy is cooking up a couple cups of either egg noodles or angel hair pasta. Drain it really, really good, then pan fry it in olive oil or almond oil till it starts to brown. Spice as needed.
Great side dish for stir fry or a with a main meat plate, and/or gravy. Also, excellent with cheese or a sprinkled Parmesan.
My dad used to make dove stew, but I didn't like it - I think the gamey taste is a little too sophisticated for a young palate.
Now, venison you couldn't keep me away from.
Recipes? (please! Inquiring dove hunters want to know!)
I like to pepper them until they smoke.

WPARs are an enhanced capability of the AIX operating system, where users can create virtualized and isolated environments within an AIX installation. Multiple WPARs can be created in a single AIX operating system instance. Physical resources of a single logical partition (LPAR) can be shared amongst multiple WPARs, along with the option to control resource (such as processor, memory, and so on) usage.
For storage purpose, previously only individual endpoint devices (such as disks and tapes) were supported in a WPAR. With WPAR Manager 2.3 and AIX 7.1 onwards, support has been extended to allocate a FC storage adapter, controlling a pool of storage devices to a WPAR.
WPARs have been certified for customers running Oracle Database 11gR2 on IBM Power Systems™ starting with AIX 6.1. This announcement from the IBM Oracle International Competency Center (ICC) helps enterprises running on Oracle database in a single instance mode to benefit from the features of AIX WPAR. For more details refer to Resources.
Details of the FC adapter support for WPARs
Key highlights of the FC adapter support for WPARs:
- Storage adapter support requires LPARs to be at AIX 7.1 or later. Also, WPAR Manager must be of version 2.3 or later.
- Adapters need to be allocated when creating a new WPAR. You can also add it to an existing WPAR, and you need to run the
cfgmgrcommand inside the WPAR to view the configuration changes.
- Storage adapters support for WPARs supports Multiple Path I/O (MPIO).
- Both virtual and physical FC adapters can be exported to WPARs.
Restrictions :
- FC adapter and storage device support is only for system WPARs.
- Storage adapters cannot be exported if the same are in use by the global AIX.
- Storage adapters are not supported for export to versioned WPARs.
- Allocating both, storage adapters and individual storage devices simultaneously to a WPAR is not supported.
- Presently, WPAR mobility is not supported with FC storage adapters.
Benefits of installing Oracle database inside WPARs
- Installation of Oracle database inside separate WPARs allows the user to run different application in each of them. Also, creating multiple WPARs enable different versions of Oracle database to co-exist in the same Global AIX. This kind of setup is mostly useful for customers in test environment.
- With FC storage adapter support being extended to WPAR, Oracle database can benefit from it by getting all its storage requirements from a single adapter. Multiple disks need not be explicitly exported from the global AIX.
- By exporting a FC storage adapter to a WPAR, the WPAR automatically owns and manages the storage devices attached. Thus, WPAR has an exclusive control of the adapter and all the adapter-attached storage devices without the intervention of the global AIX.
WPAR setup details using IBM Systems Director
This section highlights the steps needed to create a FC adapter exported system WPAR. In this example setup, one of the FC adapters assigned to the global LPAR is assigned to a WPAR during its creation.
Listing 1. List of adapters assigned to the global AIX (LPAR)
# lsdev -Cc adapter ent0 Available Virtual I/O Ethernet Adapter (l-lan) fcs0 Available C3-T1 Virtual Fibre Channel Client Adapter fcs1 Available C4-T1 Virtual Fibre Channel Client Adapter fcs2 Available C5-T1 Virtual Fibre Channel Client Adapter fcs3 Available C6-T1 Virtual Fibre Channel Client Adapter vsa0 Available LPAR Virtual Serial Adapter
From the list of FC adapters, fcs2 will be assigned to the WPAR during its creation.
Listing 2. List of disks owned by the FC adapter, fcs2
# lsdev -p fcs2 fscsi2 Defined C5-T1-01 FC SCSI I/O Controller Protocol Device # lsdev -p fscsi2 hdisk17 Defined C6-T1-01 MPIO 2810 XIV Disk hdisk18 Defined C6-T1-01 MPIO 2810 XIV Disk hdisk19 Defined C6-T1-01 MPIO 2810 XIV Disk sfwcomm3 Defined C6-T1-01-FF Fibre Channel Storage Framework Comm
The above listing shows that
fsc2 is parent to
fscsi2, which in turn is parent to the disks
hdisk18 and
On creation of a WPAR with
fcs2 assigned, it will automatically own all the disks that
fcs2 is parent of.
The WPAR Manager plugin of IBM Systems Director provides a very easy interface to create and manage WPARs. There are a sequence of setup steps required to work on WPARs through Systems Director.
- Using the WPAR Manager, the WPAR-capable systems must be discovered using the System Discovery option.
- To begin managing WPARs on the discovered systems, the WPAR Manager subagent must be installed on each system.
- User must then collect All Software Inventory and Extended WPAR Inventory on the managed systems to discover existing WPARs.
- Now, the Create Workload Partitions wizard in the WPAR Manger can be used to create WPARs on WPAR-capable systems.
Most of the steps to create a WPAR with FC adapter assigned would be the same as creating a system WPAR except the Device Control step. This is explained in the following screen captures.
Figure 1. The Device Control step in the creation of a WPAR using WPAR Manager
Figure 1 shows the Device Control step during the creation of a WPAR. This step is the place to reserve the required storage devices or adapters for use by the WPAR. For assigning storage adapters to the WPAR, as the first step, in the Adapters tab, the user has to click Add Adapters to get the list of adapters that the global system has.
Figure 2. Selecting the adapters to be assigned to the WPAR
Figure 2 shows the Add Adapters dialog box that lists all the adapters available to the global system. This dialog box lists the same adapters that was seen using the command mentioned in Listing 1. You can view the devices attached to the selected adapter by clicking Actions --> Adapter Devices or by clicking the name of the adapter. The required adapters can be exported by making a selection in the appropriate check boxes listed along with the adapters. After the required adapter selections are made, click OK to go back to the Device Control tab to finalize the selection.
Figure 3. The Device Control page after selecting the adapter
Figure 3 lists the storage adapters and adapter-based storage devices on the global system that are currently selected to be exported to the WPAR. You can click Add Adapters to export the new adapters and the adapter-based devices. This is also the place for selecting the disks to be used as the root volume group (rootvg), if required. In this example, hdisk17 is selected to be used as the rootvg.
Figure 4. A summary of the settings selected for WPAR creation
Figure 4 lists all the selections made and the values provided for the creation of the new WPAR. Before beginning the creation, this is the last step to confirm whether all the information provided is proper, and if required, go back and change any values. The user needs to click Finish to create a WPAR with the given settings.

Installation and configuration of Oracle database inside the WPAR
Before installing the Oracle database, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:
- A new oracle user must be created inside the WPAR.
- The size of the
/tmpfile system should be increased to a minimum of 2 GB.
- A separate file system must be created to place the Oracle binaries and for Oracle workload configuration. This new file system must be assigned proper permissions for the oracle user.
- Virtual Network Computing (VNC) server needs to be installed to get the graphical user interface (GUI) on the remote computer during Oracle installation and workload configuration.
The steps to install the Oracle database software inside the WPAR are similar to that of inside a global AIX and can be done by running the
runInstaller' command from the directory containing the Oracle binaries. After successful installation, a listener needs to be created by running the
netca command and a database needs to be configured using the
dbca command. Both these binaries are located in
On running
runInstaller, on the first page, the user must provide the user ID. On the next page, the user must select the Install database software only option. Then the user has to specify the database installation type as Single instance database installation. On the subsequent page, Database Edition should be selected as Enterprise Edition followed by providing the path to the file system created for the Oracle software. On the last page, the inventory directory needs to be selected before clicking Finish.
While installation is in progress, the installer will prompt the user with a path to the script, which must be run manually inside the WPAR to finish the installation process.
OAST workload configuration details inside the WPAR
The OAST workload is developed by Oracle to test Oracle on a system by simulating a real-world environment. In this setup, OAST is configured on top of Oracle database.
The OAST readme file will guide the user on how to configure it. There are four basic steps to be followed:
- OAST needs to be installed in the single instance database mode.
- After the install is complete,
kitcompileneeds to be run.
- A database must be created after running the
- The tests must be run for a minimum of 24 hours to get good results.
Tips for OAST workload :
- Before starting a new run for a long duration, the user needs to check for 30 minutes and see if the required performance metrics are achieved. Otherwise, different values for the options should be tried.
- User can provide different values for the
-woption to chose different workloads depending upon their test scenario.
- It is also a good idea to clean up the old Oracle alert log files before starting a new run. Users can change the
memory_max_targetvalues as per the requirement.
- If the processor utilization is not met as expected, an increase in the number of users might help.
In this article, we introduced the creation of FC adapter exported WPARs using IBM Systems Director and listed its advantages. We provided a brief explanation of the steps required to install Oracle database on the same WPAR setup. Also, we explained how to configure and run the sample workload OAST on this setup.

Three photos taken of Bridgeton Invitational Tournament Director, Dave Elwell with representatives from Woodruff Energy, Jack Neff and Joe Robestello who were there when the concession stand was delivered to Alden Field to hook up propane for use during next week's John Rose Tournament.
Bridgeton store owner Goldie Wulderk nailed it at the Bridgeton City Council meeting Tuesday night.
She owns the Senior Thrift & Caring Center on East Commerce Street that provided 100 tons of vegetables to Bridgeton residents last year and victuals from the food bank three times a week.
She has a roof that doesn't leak.
She has bricks in her alley that aren't pointed.
In her alley!
Code Enforcement gave her a deadline to take care of both.
She told city council she's working to raise money for the new roof.
But it does not leak.
The Bridgeton Professional Firefighters Assoc. took care of that.
Goldie's presentation was so riveting, Warren Robinson and got up and spoke on her behalf, saying she shouldn't have to be put through that.
Mike Abbott got up and said the code enforcement officer was only doing her job.
Councilman Bill Spence said he would meet with Goldie to see what can be done.
Then Mayor Albert Kelly said he would talk with her.
One more council person meeting with her and they break the Sunshine Law.

WOODINVILLE--To mitigate wetland impact and allow more housing in the newly-named "Woodinville Heights" affordable housing complex, the City Council approved "vacation" of the 144th Ave. NE right-of-way at their March 13th meeting.
"The wetland mitigation will enhance vegetation along the north end of the road (where it will merge with NE 195th/North Bypass), will increase buffering on the east side, and will create more wetland along the south portion," said John Harkness of CAMWest, the owner-developer of the ARCH project.
Daniel Jones, an environmental biologist from Shelton and Associates, said he found indications the south portion of the property was once a wetland, but disturbed to create usable land. He said he found a lot of old garbage and oil residue in that soil. Regrading will restore hydrology, allowing water to flow naturally.
CAMWest attorney Roger Pierce said the current right-of-way goes straight south through the wetland before making a 90-degree turn westward. Curving the road west on the south end and pulling some of the road's north-south span westward will increase the buffer area between housing on the east side of the road and the major portion of the wetland east of there, he said.
Jones said they will plant a variety of native trees and six shrub species to enhance the wetland landscape, including western red cedar and cascara on the north end, to mix with the prevalent red alder.
Councilmember Carol Bogue asked if CAMWest planned to do anything about the water from the land that runs across the North Bypass. Mike Matheson of TRIAD Associates, representing CAMWest, said they will install a storm water catch basin and conveyance pipes that will run into a vault. From there, the water will run into existing county pipes running under the south side of the Bypass. "That will eliminate 99.9 percent of the water," he said.

Still, and Undeniably, a Tragedy
I offer this with only my post title as commentary.
The words of a Canadian United Nations observer written just days before he was killed in an Israeli bombing of a UN post in Lebanon are evidence Hezbollah was using the post as a "shield" to fire rockets into Israel, says a former UN commander in Bosnia.
Those words, written in an e-mail dated just nine days ago, offer a possible explanation as to why the post—which according to UN officials was clearly marked and known to Israeli forces—was hit by Israel on Tuesday night, said retired Maj.-Gen. Lewis MacKenzie yesterday.
"What I can tell you is this," he wrote in an e-mail to CTV dated July 18. "We have on a daily basis had numerous occasions where our position has come under direct or indirect fire from both (Israeli) artillery and aerial bombing.
"The closest artillery has landed within 2 meters (sic) of our position and the closest 1000 lb aerial bomb has landed 100 meters (sic) from our patrol base. This has not been deliberate targeting, but rather due to tactical necessity."
Those words, particularly the last sentence, are not-so-veiled language indicating Israeli strikes were aimed at Hezbollah targets near the post, said Maj.-Gen. MacKenzie.
"What that means is, in plain English, 'We've got Hezbollah fighters running around in our positions, taking our positions here and then using us for shields and then engaging the (Israeli Defence Forces)," he said.

Vacation Oasis in Tucson, Arizonailanawiles
Last week, Babble sent me to Tucson, Arizona to stay at the Westin La Paloma.
My husband was away for work so I decided to take my two-year-old daughter, Mazzy and my mother. I'm not going to lie— the flight and the time difference were both tough on a toddler.
But once we arrived in scenic Tucson and Mazzy saw her first cactus, the exhaustion of the plane ride faded away.
"THESE! THESE! THESE!" she shouted as she pointed to a bunch of large cacti greeting us right outside the airport. "Don't touch them!" I shouted back. (I'm such a mom.)
The excitement continued when we arrived at the Westin La Paloma and saw our accomodations.
For one thing, Mazzy couldn't wait to get into one of the SIX POOLS (family pool, kiddie pool, adult pool, Olympic-sized lap pool, waterfall jacuzzi and waterslide pool).
But first, we had to unload our bags, which meant taking a golf cart to our room.
This was an exciting first for Mazzy too. From that point on, she requested golf carts to go everywhere (the property is large and quite spread out) and would yell "WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" the whole ride.
The Westin provided us with an incredibly large suite (I'm not kidding when I say it was larger than my entire Manhattan apartment), complete with a living room, dining area, full kitchen, two bathrooms, balcony and a separate bedroom. Totally ideal for traveling with a child since it's much easier if you can put them to bed and then have somewhere else to hang out and watch TV.
Next, we went to the pool. Mazzy had a blast jumping in the water and trying to escape me at all times— the girl thinks she can swim. And I, who usually try to stay dry, was more than happy to take the plunge in 100 degree heat.
One of the big moments of the pool experience was Mazzy's first trip to the swim-up bar. The ability to order apple juice while sitting on a stool submerged in water was just too much amazingness for my toddler's brain to comprehend.
Over the next few weeks, I'll be talking about my experience at the Azul restaurant, the Westin Kid's Club, the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa and of course, sleeping in the famously comfortable Heavenly Bed.
But for now, I'll give you a sneak peak of our eventful three day stay at the Westin La Paloma.
Mazzy's First Cactus 1 of 17Fun fact: Did you know that the Giant Saguaro plants (or what has become the universal image of a cactus) are only located in Tucson?
Lobby of the Westin La Paloma 2 of 17With view of the pool and the mountains behind it.
Mazzy's First Golf Cart Ride 3 of 17The property is large, but walkable. Nevertheless, Mazzy insisted on getting the carts.
Our Huge Suite 4 of 17Dining room area is behind the couch, kitchen is behind the stools, and our bedroom is behind the door in the upper left.
Welcome! 5 of 17Wine and cheese plate courtesy of the hotel.
The Heavenly Bed 6 of 17Don't be fooled. Mazzy wasn't sleeping. She was playing "sleeping". Still. Not even a toddler could resist that bed.
The View from our Balcony 7 of 17
One of Six Pools 8 of 17Mazzy refered to this pool as "the river".
The Waterslide 9 of 17Mazzy was too small to ride the waterslide, which she seemed to know intuitively- thank god. Although she did get lots of entertainment watching the big kids go down.
Superfoods Breakfast 10 of 17Egg, Mozzarella, Sundried Tomato and Arugula on a Panini. If this is healthy, sign me up.
The Kid's Club 11 of 17Mazzy left with a Westin Kid's Club backpack. Score!
The Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa 12 of 17Thankfully, the Kid's Club is right next door. Total relaxation.
I'm not in NYC anymore. 13 of 17
Mazzy Taking the Stairs 14 of 17There's a huge flight of stairs in the lobby. By the end of the trip, Mazzy went down them by herself without holding the banister. So proud.
Daring to Touch the Foliage 15 of 17Mazzy couldn't get enough of the different plant species in this part of the country. I'm thankful she only got pricked once.
The Only Photo of Me 16 of 17I know it's not a great shot of Mazzy (plus I look like I don't have a neck) but it's the only one I've got. I'm always behind the camera.
Pooped 17 of 17Mazzy after a day at the pool. She didn't even make it back to the hotel room before she fell asleep.

The reason to pick up "Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America" No. 2, is for the spot-on portrayal of Spidey.
To recap the premise of the series, each issue will have a hero or group of heroes going through one of the "five stages of grief" in the aftermath of the death of the beloved icon.
This issue has both teams of Avengers representing "Anger." Or at least that's what the promo says.
Inside the issue are more than 10 characters, and only two, Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel, seem to be exuding any anger.

Charleston County EMS Director Don Lundy got a firsthand look Tuesday at what it's like for a house to be struck by lightning.
As thunderstorms swept through much of the Lowcountry late Tuesday afternoon, Lundy and his wife were sitting in their house in Shadowmoss waiting for the power to be restored.
Suddenly there was a tremendous boom and the whole house shook.
"It was louder than any weapon I ever heard in military service," he said.
He thought a tree had fallen and ran outside. Flames were shooting from the back of the house. A lightning bolt had burned a hole in the siding near the attic.
Crews from Charleston and St. Andrews fire departments quickly arrived to keep the flames from spreading. They also put plastic over the hole in the house.
"They did a great job," Lundy said.
"My wife and dog and I are all OK, and that's what counts."
Lundy also said he's glad the lightning hit after the power went out, or the bolt would probably have fried every electronic device in the house.
The family was staying in a motel Tuesday night and would take a closer look at the damage Wednesday.
The storms knocked out power in scattered areas around the Lowcountry Tuesday. Trees were reported down in Summerville, including one on Twin Lakes Drive.
SCE&G was reporting 2,621 outages in Dorchester County, 898 in Charleston County and 61 in Berkeley County at 8:40 p.m.
The biggest outages at that time were in the Summerville area, including 1,366 customers without power off Scott Range Road and 532 without power off Simmons Avenue.
SCE&G's outage map is here.

, updated July 8, 2013 at 6:20 AM
One of the most preposterous expenses that Western New York taxpayers are forced to bear is the cosmetic surgery rider included in some public union contracts, including that of Buffalo teachers, where the cost has become particularly onerous.
Facing elimination of nearly half the Buffalo School District's band and orchestra programs, the School Board is targeting superficial anti-wrinkle procedures such as facial peels and microderm abrasions. The cost of such procedures to the district in the 2011-12 school year came to nearly $1.7 million, according to School Board member John B. Licata, who has sponsored a resolution to deny such claims from teachers and administrators.
We sympathize with Licata and the board, which unanimously approved his resolution in late June, but as Philip Rumore, president of the Buffalo Teachers Federation, noted, this is a contractual issue. For reasons that defy understanding, the school district at one time provided that benefit to some teachers and administrators.
As foolish as it was, the cosmetic surgery rider is in the contract. That makes it difficult, if not impossible, for the district simply to decide not to cover certain procedures.
But now, teachers and students are about to pay a steep price for it. Licata believes the savings from his proposal could help preserve the endangered music programs, whose pending termination has stirred anger in the community.
In the hands of rational people, an obvious bargain would be evident. The BTF gives up the cosmetic rider – which Rumore has said he is willing to do – instructors get to keep their jobs and students get to keep music programs, which are critical to some of them.
Unfortunately, rational is not a word easily applied to the working relationship between the district and the union. Indeed, it is as dysfunctional as they come. The union rarely shows any interest in saving jobs, preferring to sacrifice members rather than compromise, even on easy issues like the cosmetic surgery rider. And despite its periodic claims of devotion to the students, the union's interest is its members, money and influence, and not necessarily in that order.
For its part, the district has been known to make rash decisions that backfire. In 2005, it unilaterally decided to offer union members one health insurer, even though the contract called for four. The BTF went to court and, three years later, prevailed.
The problem faced by the district is that state labor law leans heavily in favor of unions and away from taxpayers. In a weak economy such as today's, the law incentivizes unions not to negotiate in good faith, since contract terms, including step raises, stay in force even after contracts expire.
Thus, the district can likely do little about the rider without negotiations, but the union may not want to negotiate the kind of givebacks the district needs. It's a prescription for doing nothing.
Still, negotiating will be needed. The angels may be on the district's side when it comes to changes that could protect the education of thousands of city students, but the law is on the union's side. Sad to say, the law usually trumps angels.

PRIMARY TUBERCULOSIS of skeletal muscle was first described in 1886. Since then this entity has rarely been observed. In the strict sense, primary muscular tuberculosis does not occur, except by accidental inoculation as with a contaminated needle. The term primary tuberculous myositis is used to describe the clinical situation in which the most prominent lesion in the course of hematogenous tuberculosis involves the muscle, and not the fact that the infection occurred primarily in the muscle.1 Hematogenous spread of tubercle bacilli to muscle has been described in very few cases and has been noted to be exceptionally rare.1,2,3
The following is a well-documented report of skeletal muscle involvement as a prominent clinical feature of hematogenous tuberculosis, and is thought to represent the third such case in the American literature.
Report of a Case
A 43-year-old Negro male porter noted the onset of cough, weakness, anorexia, weight loss, and left-sided

Overheard on a recent afternoon at a farm in Elbridge, N.Y.:
FIRST PONY: Now there goes something you don't see every day, Otis.
SECOND PONY: What's that, Oren?
FIRST PONY: Sheep with a can on its head.
SECOND PONY: Maybe it's just a very, very ugly sheep.
THIRD PONY: Is there a joke here somewhere about unembraceable ewe?
FIRST PONY: Perhaps. Or something about pulling the steel wool over its eyes?
THIRD PONY: I don't think so. How about canned lamb? Or sheep dip? Muttonhead, maybe?
SECOND PONY: Close, but no cigar. I think what we have here, gentlemen, a sheep in search of a punch line.
FIRST PONY: And a can opener.
