Scheduled partial down-time and mod publishingposted by Dark0ne Site NewsSomething we rolled out on the sites a couple of weeks ago without any kind of announcement was a new file publishing system when adding file pages to the Nexus. The inherent problem is thus; if you want to (properly) release a mod on the Nexus you need to first start a file page, add a good long description, add and setup all your images, upload your files and setup any videos and mirror links. If you do this without hiding the file (so that others can see it) you run the risk of some hasty (and annoying) users asking you why you haven't uploaded your files/images yet. If you do it while your file is hidden then your file is losing "valuable" exposure in the new today and recent files pages and columns.
So what we've done is added an extra step to the process. You no longer choose whether you want your new file page to be visible or hidden. All file pages start off hidden and you now need to "publish" your mod before it becomes visible on the site. Until you publish your mod your file page will have no comment thread, no upload date and you have all the time in the world to upload and setup everything exactly how you want it before your mod is visible to everyone. It also guarantees you complete control over when the file is released to the public, and as the upload date isn't updated until you publish the file, you can have your file unpublished for as long as you like without suffering any drawbacks.
For an added example of why this might be handy, take if you will a new mod you'd like to upload to Skyrim Nexus. You think this mod is going to be the next big thing. Now the Hot File system on Skyrim Nexus has a 7 day turn around time, so it only shows the most endorsed files uploaded over the past 7 days. If your mod is 1GB+ in size it might take you a very long time to upload it to the site, anything from a few hours to days depending on your upload speed. So by the time your file is actually up on the site and ready to be endorsed you've lost a hell of a lot of time, and perhaps dented your chances at hitting the (sometimes) coveted hot files. With the publishing system in place, your mod only gets properly added to the site when you click that publish button, ensuring you're absolutely ready to launch. Now, if you don't care about the hot files or your mod's exposure then this isn't a big deal for you, but I know it is for some. So that's what the publishing system is for, and it's going to come in handy for the partial down-time I'm about to tell you about.
We're hoping that on Monday (the 11th of February) we're going to be taking the forums down for a long overdue software update. Now the forums are pretty integral to the operation of these sites, and lots of functionality is linked to it; the commenting system, the user login and registration system, messaging, chat, and so on and so forth. We've been running some tests over the past couple of weeks, doing some mock runs, and we believe we can keep the majority of the site's functionality operational during this forum downtime. You'll still be able to browse the sites, download mods, look at images and even read comment threads, but you won't be able to browse the forums or post any new posts or comments either on the forums or in file or image comment threads. Similarly new registrations will be locked down during this period.
As the forums are going to be locked down during the upgrade we're also going to lock down the publishing of new mods to the database, as publishing a mod during the forum upgrade would result in the mod comment topic being lost. As such, you will be able to add or edit new file pages, upload files, images and everything else you do before publishing a mod, but you won't be able to actually publish the mod so it's visible to the public until the forum upgrade is finished. This only affects new file additions to the site. You'll be able to manage any current files already published on the site no problem. We're doing this for the integrity of our data, and for the safety of maintaining the effort you've gone into getting your file up on the site.
We'll be putting notifications up on the site to let you know when we've taken the forums down and I'll try to keep you updated. This is one of these things where any number of problems can occur along the way. We've tried to account for everything (and there's a hell of a lot to account for considering how integral the forums are to the running of the sites) but it's logical to assume that at some point something unexpected is going to happen that we'll have to react to. So while I'd like to tell you that this forum downtime will probably only last 6 hours, it could last 12 hours, a day, or hell, even longer. But I hope not.
Fingers crossed!

The Anti-Apple: Netflix to $300 by Summer
No. 1 . The same flavor of irrationality -- Apple's Crash: A Wall Street Tragedy -- that drives Apple (AAPL) down will take NFLX back up to $300.
Go ahead and laugh. But before you do, realize I've called this thing every step of the way:
Netflix's Business Model Isn't Sustainable -- Seeking Alpha , April 5, 2011.Prepare to Buy Netflix Before It Rises From the Dead -- TheStreet, July 30, 2012. Netflix Will Hit $300, Go Out of Business or Both -- TheStreet, January 17, 2013.
Timestamp it: NFLX will hit $300 by summer.
Why? Because Reed Hastings has fired up the smoke-and-mirrors machine yet again.
So, No. 2 . Netflix has an excellent product. As somebody who covers the stock and subscribes to the service, there's no question the Netflix of 2013 is worlds better than the Netflix of 2011 from a content standpoint.
As Reed Hastings explains in the company's Q42012 Letter to Shareholders , Netflix has found its content sweet spot. It owns KidsTV. It has become an excellent outlet for prior seasons of current television shows (e.g., "Mad Men"). It's about to roll the dice on original programming. And you'll be hard-pressed to find its most popular movies and television shows on competing services such as Hulu and Amazon (AMZN) Prime.
That's all good, but it's simply not going to fly as a business at $8 per month.
The "virtuous cycle" Hastings touts (more subscribers means more money for content, more money for content means more subscribers and so on) is actually a "vicious cycle." Always has been. That errant Disney (DIS) deal notwithstanding, content owners will not license premium content if Netflix continues to give it away, all you can eat, at $7.99 a month.
Another tit-for-tat metric Hastings likes to brag about just went bust. He explained, quite transparently, in the above-linked communique to shareholders:
In the past, we have managed our content licensing agreements such that cash payments in any quarter do not exceed 110% of the P&L expense (in other words, if our P&L expense was $200 million in the quarter, our cash payments for content would not exceed $220 million in the quarter). As we shared on our last earnings call, our original programming will require more up-front cash payments than most other content licensing agreements, raising this ratio (of cash to P&L for content) to as high as 120% in certain quarters with material originals payments. The bulk of our remaining cash payments for our current originals will be in Q1, driving FCF materially more negative than Q4, and then FCF will improve substantially in subsequent quarters.

Together ... everything is possible
Pasadena nonprofit Collective Voices plays matchmaker between teacher needs, community resources
By Sara Cardine 02/22/2012
Many of the CIS Academy students who shuffled into the classroom Friday morning for an elective course on the topic of restorative justice had no idea what the next two hours would bring. Some came because a friend had talked them into attending, while others were there at the behest of teachers of the small, independent study-focused school that operates on a small corner of the Pasadena High School campus. Still other students were called to the 10-week class by the perceived allure of easy course credits.
They entered a plain room, whose walls were lined with chairs fashioned in a circle, and sat down. Instructors and facilitators took seats among the students as Monica Chinlund, director of development at the Ojai Foundation, Council in Schools program, welcomed everyone and began the session.
"How many people here feel you have a story to tell?" she asked the room. A mere four of nearly 30 students in the circle raised their hands.
"I'm hoping that you're going to change your minds, and when I ask you again in 10 weeks, you're going to have a different answer," Chinlund responded, "because we all have stories to tell."
Giving a voice to underserved students is an underlying premise of the Restorative Justice/Youth Law Project, which aims to expose the students to topics ranging from street law and conflict resolution to nonviolent communication and positive social change. The class is a collaboration of the Council of Schools, Loyola Law School's Center for Restorative Justice, Pasadena's Western Justice Center Foundation and InsideOUT Writers, a Los Angeles nonprofit that provides creative outlets for members of LA County's Juvenile Hall system.
The mastermind behind this innovative partnership is the Collective Voices Foundation, a Pasadena nonprofit that plays matchmaker between educators who want to bring project-based or "real-world" learning into the classroom and community groups that can provide the speakers, funds and tools needed to make it happen.
"There is a division in Pasadena between resources and under-performing students," said Executive Director Diane Fisher, who also teaches communication studies at Cal State LA. "I really wanted to envision a way to bridge that division."
Working together
To create the Youth Law Project at CIS Academy, Fisher and Collective Voices Associate Director Liza Bearman worked with the participating organizations to create a survey learning experience that would engage students in the deeper issues surrounding America's justice system.
This Friday, students will spend their second class at Loyola, where the Center for Restorative Justice will hold its 2nd Annual Another Way Conference. The free event is open to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and will feature discussions from Father Gregory Boyle of Homeboy Industries and California Supreme Court Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye as well as many others.
Throughout the class, CIS students will be asked to keep a journal, and members of InsideOUT Writers will help them respond to several writing prompts by recording their thoughts and opinions. By the end of the 10-week curriculum, the students will prepare their own projects that reflect on what they've learned and how it relates to their daily lives.
CIS Academy Principal Jack Loos said he was happy to be contacted by Collective Voices with this unique educational opportunity.
"The district did away with a lot of the elective courses last year. So when this came in, I thought, 'This is perfect.'" Loos said, "Just the process of exposing them to different things in life outside the core curriculum of what schools offer is a plus to the development of the students. And it's a topic we need to look at, because the system of justice we have doesn't always work."
'Resource choreography'
Collective Voices has already brokered several successful learning projects in elementary, middle and high schools in and around Greater Los Angeles since it began in 2009. Fisher and Bearman see their work as "resource choreography," a dance of connecting schools with people and groups who can offer unique learning experiences. The pair has created dog tags with the Collective Voices logo on a black background to pass out to students as keepsakes. The slogan on the back sums up the mission in four succinct words: "Together … everything is possible."
Recently, sixth-graders at Aveson Charter School took part in a multimedia project that included a visit to and collaboration with the Pasadena Humane Society. English learners at Washington Middle School began a program that brings in Spanish-speaking professionals with math and science careers to help students develop science fair projects. Another successful collaboration had culinary students from Le Cordon Bleu working side by side with students whose families receive government subsidized food to create healthy, balanced meal plans.
Since its move to Pasadena last year, Collective Voices continues to make inroads with philanthropic and community-based groups, such as the Flintridge Foundation and Leadership Pasadena, to expand the scope and depth of what it can offer schools. So far, it's been a difficult but worthwhile venture, Fisher admitted.
"You can use the Internet to start a revolution in Egypt, but you can't connect a classroom to a leading science school in the same county," she joked.
To make those connections easier, Fisher and Bearman have launched an online platform called Collaborate Now, where teachers and students can post project needs and wish lists, sponsors can create their own grants and professionals can sign up to receive a weekly email list of educational needs in their specified fields.
The hope is that the site will eventually become like Craigslist, where people can post and browse through proposals, schools, speakers or sponsorships.
"The goal is to get everyone plugged in to really create collaborations that are cool and possible and interesting," Fisher said. "We want to get the word out to educators that this site exists, this tool exists — post."
Justice = healing
Over the next nine weeks, the CIS Academy course will introduce students to the idea of restorative justice, a philosophy that aims to heal victims and offenders, often themselves victims of larger societal dynamics and disenfranchisement, according to instructor Seth Lennon Weiner, a postdoctoral teaching fellow at Loyola's Center for Restorative Justice.
"It's not anti-punishment. It's a community investigation of how to right the wrong," he added. "If crime is a wound, then justice should be healing."
Understanding and unraveling the mystery of American jurisprudence — which can often seem unfair and exclusionary toward certain groups — is something 18-year-old Felix Hernandez wants to learn more about. Hernandez initially came to the class when a friend mentioned it to him that morning but admitted after the first session, "I have to come back." He wants to learn more about the perception of racism in the criminal justice system. "It's kind of unfair how it's still going on," he said "It's like they're bringing it back and just enslaving other races."
Aidyn Cooper, 17, said she was more interested in seeing what the class might offer on the topic of community building. "That's the part that really intrigued me," she added. "In high school, you have judgments about people — I'm open to changing that, and I think this class could help."
When other students were asked in class to list topics they wanted to cover, they were not ashamed to speak up. "Learning more about law and what we can do, like if we get pulled over for no reason, how to fight that," said one male student.
"Why rich people get away with stuff we can't," added Richard when it was his turn to speak.
"Laws in Arizona," Alfredo said. "Racial profiling," said a student named Skyler. By the time the round-robin was done, a long list had been recorded: How age restrictions are determined; why some people get tougher sentences than others; how far our freedom really gets us; and how morals become laws.
How the next two months play out at CIS Academy is anybody's guess, but educators like Gareth Siegel, who helps prepare seniors for the California High School Exit Examination, believe Collective Voices has struck a nerve with the class and that students stand to gain a lot from the experience.
"I see this as a basic way to reconnect these kids to the community and help them feel empowered," said Siegel, who himself attended Friday's class. "And frankly, I'm learning right along with them."

ASP.NET in a Nutshell
In part one from this series of book excerpts from ASP.NET in a Nutshell, get an overview on ASP.NET controls, and learn about ASP.NET user controls.
Reuse is a technique that is important to most developers. Reuse allows you to avoid constantly reinventing the wheel by using functionality that has already been built and tested. It increases productivity, by reducing the total amount of code you need to write, and reliability, since by using tested code, you (presumably) already know the code works reliably.
ASP.NET provides a range of options for reuse. The first is the wide variety of built-in server controls that ship with ASP.NET. These server controls alone can eliminate hundreds, or even thousands, of lines of code that needed to be written to achieve the same effect in classic ASP. In addition, the .NET Framework Class Library (FCL) provides hundreds of classes to perform actions (such as sending SMTP email or making network calls) that in classic ASP would have required purchasing a third-party component or making calls into the Win32 API.
Going hand-in-hand with reuse is the concept of extensibility, the ability to take the existing functionality provided by the .NET Framework and ASP.NET and extend it to perform actions that are more tailored to your particular applications and problem domains. ASP.NET provides a significant number of avenues for extensibility:
The rest of this chapter discusses employing ASP.NET user controls and custom server controls for reuse and employing custom server controls for extensibility. The chapter also explains how custom server controls can easily be shared across multiple applications, making reuse simpler than ever.
The simplest form of reuse in classic ASP is the include file. By adding the following directive:

ASP developers could place the contents of the specified file inline with the page in which the directive appeared. Unfortunately, this reuse technique is a bit crude and sometimes makes applications harder to debug.
While ASP.NET still supports include files, a better way to provide the same kinds of reuse is through a new feature called user controls. User controls consist of HTML, a server-side script, and controls, in a file with the .ascx file extension. When added to a Web Forms page, ASP.NET treats user controls as objects; these user controls can expose properties and methods like any other object. The rendered output of user controls can also be cached to improve application performance.
Example 6-1 shows a simple user control that provides navigational links to other examples in this chapter. The user control appears in each example page to demonstrate how the use of a user control can provide a single point for modifying such frequently used elements as headers, footers, and navigation bars.
Example 6-1: Nav.ascx
<%@ Control Language="vb" %>

Navigation Bar

<a href="NavBarClient.aspx"

NavBar Client

<a href="UCClient.aspx"

User Control Client

<a href="BlogClient.aspx"

Blog Client

<a href="BlogAdd.aspx"

Add New Blog

With the exception of the
@ Control directive, which is not strictly required, the code in Example 6-1 consists exclusively of HTML and client-side script (for performing a simple mouseover graphics switch). However, the user control could just as easily contain server controls and/or server-side script to perform more complicated tasks.
@ Control directive performs essentially the same task as the
@ Page directive, only for user controls. Chapter 3 lists the attributes of the
@ Page and
@ Control directives and the purpose of each.
The advantage of using a user control for this type of functionality is that it places all of our navigation logic in a single location. This placement makes it considerably easier to maintain the navigation links for a site. If you used ASP.NET's built-in server controls instead of raw HTML in your navigation user control, you could manipulate those server controls programmatically from the page on which the control is used. For example, you could hide the link to the page that's currently displayed or highlight it in some fashion.
The disadvantage of a user control is that it is not reusable across multiple sites. It's also not usually a good idea to tightly couple user interface elements and data, as this control does, because doing so tends to reduce the reusability of a control. Later in this chapter, you'll see how to improve this user control by turning it into a custom server control.
User controls are made available to a page through the use of either the
@ Register directive, which prepares a user control on a page declaratively (i.e., using a tag-based syntax like server controls), or to be included programmatically using the LoadControl method of the
TemplateControl class (from which both the
Page class and the
UserControl class derive).
Example 6-2 shows a page that uses the
@ Register directive and a declarative tag to create the user control shown in Example 6-1. The
@ Register directive in Example 6-2 tells ASP.NET to look for any
<aspnetian:nav> tags with the
runat="server" attribute, and when it finds one, create an instance of the user control and place its output where the tag is located. This allows us to place our control very precisely.
Example 6-2: UCClient.aspx
<%@ Page Language="vb" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="aspnetian" TagName="nav" Src="Nav.ascx" %>

User Control Client Page

<aspnetian:nav runat="server"/>
This is where page content might be placed
You can instead create the control dynamically using the LoadControl method and add the control to either the Controls collection of the page, or, better yet, to the Controls collection of a PlaceHolder control. The latter allows you to control the location of the user control based on the location of the placeholder. This technique is shown in Example 6-3.
Example 6-3: UCClient_Prog.aspx
<%@ Page Language="vb" %>

A 16 year-old Dutch boy has been arrested in the Netherlands for his part in revenge attacks on websites that crossed WikiLeaks, PC World reports.
The teenager has already confessed to his involvement in the attacks on Visa's, MasterCard's, and PayPal's websites. All three companies cut WikiLeaks off to distance themselves from the organization's release of U.S. diplomatic cables.
The attacks by Anonymous have involved thousands of people working together, and at this point there is no indication that this teen played a particularly central role.
Other companies, most recently Amazon, have been called out as potential Anonymous targets. Given the group's track record, we wouldn't expect this arrest to send them running for cover.

My daughter has had trouble with constipation for the last 6 months... she didnt like apple or prune juice so i started with "pear peach" and she liked that kind and then i worked towards apple and prune... mixing it and now i give her straight prune juice every morning with her breakfast and depending how much she takes then i may give her some with all her meals... i also have water with us through out the day to offer her inbetween bottles. i give her all the "poopy" foods i can get into her, i add a tiny bit if metamucil somewhere into her diet either food or bottle, and have just started giving her ground flax in her food, which i find works pretty wonders!! jsut remember you have to have enough fluids with all the additional fiber given... and even if your baby doesnt like something try it again a couple weeks later cause they may start to take juice of prunes or whatever it may be... for my daughter i also switched her formula to soy just to cut out that little bit of dairy (dairy can be constipating) i think i have tried everything under the moon and still find it frustrating having to obsess over her BMs... the main part my GP told me was to make sure i made sure she wasnt always constipated or it could cause major damage with the stool stretching her bowels bigger than the sphincter would allow past it... causing permanent dependancy to laxatives... also glycerin suppositories do not cause dependancy and are safe to be repeated... i break a peice off and give it rather than the whole thing and i get results (i havent given one in a good 2 weeks which is amazing! i hate to jinx it but we may be on the mend!!!)
Hi there! I'm new here but I wanted to share what we do in Portugal. I have a 3 month old and a 10 year old and when I started solids with him we usually start with soups of various individual vegetables and we add a tea spoon of extra virgin olive oil to help those issues!
I'm living in the US now and I see nobody recommends it so I'm just putting it out there! You really need to find a good quality Olive Oil, one that is Extra Virgin and says "First Cold Press", is the best! Only use it raw after the baby is more than a year old!, before that you need to boil it a bit with the soups! When starting solids, giving those soups before anything else, even if it's a little soup, helps a lot!

Educational Leadership Programs
You are considering a life changing adventure; school leadership is an amazing journey. Schools are the method that our society has to level the playing field. In well run schools all students can find the strands that, if woven well, will build a garment that prepares them for a lifetime of success, excellence and equity. Schools invite children into the life of the mind. One part of the social justice mission of this School of Education is to prepare leaders who can guide a team to establish excellence and equity in their school.
In our programs, candidates learn how to run the enterprise of education. This is a challenging undertaking but also a rewarding career choice. Our programs focus on the development of highly effective leadership teams, and the use of case studies; an approach that places our degree candidates in the Principal's or District Level Administrator's seat and simulates the responsibilities of deciding what to do when time, ethics and limited resources are factors. The programs' goal is that when our candidates finish their 15 month program, they will actually be able to do this important work, with the skills and dispositions to leave a lasting legacy.
The programs' faculty members have distinguished themselves as educational leaders and continue this leadership on the local, state and national levels. They have attended to the theory and research about the profession and they know personally what it is like to be in the vortex of public pressure and crushing time constraints. Candidates also experience the benefits of having each course taught by two faculty members modeling the success that can be achieved through collaboration. The nuanced richness that this brings to the classroom, when combined with the candidate's own continuous internships, makes a powerful classroom environment.
The programs are highly selective in the review of candidates, requiring a writing sample, and two letters of recommendation from certified school administrators, along with additional evidence of achievement. If you are accepted, prepare for a rigorous experience that will prepare you for 21st Century Leadership.

I Got Dem Ol' January Blues Again
The holidays are over, it's cold outside, I overate so much I wish I could hibernate, and I've been MIA around the blogosphere lately. This is due mostly to:
1. Lots of Actual Work to do (which is good, I get paid for that and not this).
2. Not much exciting going on in Phillies-land.
Not that nothing's been going on, the Phillies did sign Danys Baez to a two-year deal. Hmm. After missing the 2008 season following Tommy John surgery, Baez went 4-6 with a 4.02 ERA for Baltimore last season. Reports on the signing like to point out that Baez has closing experience, which could come in handy if Brad Lidge is not ready to start the season following his own elbow surgery. But wait, his last successful season as a closer was back in 2005 with the Rays! In 2006, while splitting time between L.A. and Atlanta, he blew 8 of 17 save opportunities.
<begin sarcasm> Gee, I can't wait to watch Baez pitch for the Phillies! <end sarcasm>
OK, enough ranting.
A number of weeks ago, Ben of Ben's Biz Blog asked his readers to send any minor league mascot photos his way. Since mascots are one of my favorite photo subjects at the ballpark, I sent Ben a supply of photos. Apparently, yesterday was a slow day for him, so he decided to use many of them in his post, which you can view here in it's full glory.
So now the countdown begins. In a mere 63 days I will be winging my way to sunny Florida!
Yes, the hubby and I will be spending a week in the Clearwater/St. Pete area, enjoying the warm (hopefully) weather, and satisfying our baseball withdrawal with some Spring Training!
I don't know which is worse – the anticipation of Christmas as a child, or the anticipation of Spring Training as an adult! Patience, unfortunately, has never been one of my virtues.

Wish I could go to Clearwater with ya this year! Looks like my work schedule is not going to allow it as I am taking this next week off for the Phillies cruise. Guess I should not complain though…can't wait to get outta this cold weather tomorrow!
I can't imagine why y'all picked up Baez at all. When he pitched in the AL East, he kept getting beaten up for his lunch money. He was one of those guys, whenever he came in to pitch, that I would say "Oh good, HE'S in!" I hope he does better for you guys, but…
Good to read you again! Welcome back! You can wait with all of us here for Spring Training to start. I'll be in Arizona the first weekend of March and the last weeekend.
Baez was a Dodger sometime ago.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
STORYDick Ruthven's last season as a starting pitcher in the "Show" was in 1985, the year this Topps card was printed. He appeared in 20 games and started 15 for the Cubs, going 4-7 with 4.53 as the Cubs struggled the year after reaching the NLCS.

AdeptSQL Diff is a lightning fast and intuitive tool to visually compare and
synchronize two MS SQL Server databases. The program scans both databases and
displays the combined schema tree view, with all differences color-marked.
through the database schema tree, you can see SQL definitions for individual objects (tables,
view, stored procedures, etc) compared side-by-side in the larger panel to the right of the schema tree.
You can produce difference scripts
for any chosen part or for the whole schema. The schema matching engine
generates effective update SQL for any schema difference you need to
synchronize, trying to preserve the table data whenever possible.
The generated scripts are displayed in a separate
debugger-style popup window where you can edit them, execute them
either uninterrupted or step-by-step, set breakpoints, turn on transactions and
rollback on errors.
Even if you have only one database to work with, the drag&drop scripting
(you simply drag one or more schema items to any text editor supporting regular OLE
drag&drop) together with very flexible scripting options makes
AdeptSQL Diff a perfect tool to explore your database schema.
Currently, version for MS SQL Server is available.
Support for other SQL databases is planned.
To learn more about AdeptSQL Diff, you can:
The evaluation version is fully functional: it has no "trial" restrictions
other than the 30-day / 50-runs (whichever lasts longer) time limit. The latest
version is AdeptSQL Diff 1.98 Build 104. It supports each of the following
versions of MS SQL Server:
Please note that updates within AdeptSQL Diff 1.xx version range are free for
all registered customers. Furthermore, we only provide technical support for
the most recent Diff version. Always make sure you have
the most recent version!
IMPORTANT information for licensed users:
As of version 1.98, the Diff accepts activation keys only in the new
"Licensee name/Short-key" format. It is no longer compatible with the legacy "long keys".
All registered users who still use older "long key" versions are welcome to
update their Diffs and request replacement keys, free of charge, directly from the program.
If you have been using the "WS2008/Vista" edition of Diff already, you'll
be able to update without any changes to the activation key.
AdeptSQL Diff is now our company's primary tool for pushing database objects
from test to pre-production to production. We are very happy with the tool.
Brett Estes, FNC Inc, USA
See all quotes
10 Apr 2013: to this date, the Build 104 is still the latest available
See the complete list of changes
for more details.
IMPORTANT: as of this version, we no longer support two separate
"editions" with alternative activation key formats. The "Licensee name/Short key"
format is the only one available now. The licensed users who still have the
"classic" Diff edition will have to request a new key, free of charge, after this update.
SQL 7.0 dropped: as of this version, AdeptSQL Diff is no longer tested
with SQL Server 7.0. The Diff might still work with SQL 7.0, but the compatibility
is no longer maintained.

I know it's mid-May and Veterans' Day is six months away, but today I got a heart-warming dose of reality. As the PawSox arrived early Saturday at the Detroit airport to fly back to Pawtucket, we came upon a contingent of World War II veterans who were making a trip to Washington D.C. to visit the World War II monument. What struck me was the contrast between the young, strong PawSox players and the heroes of our fathers' generation. As they sat, smiling and clearly happy about their excursion, I imagined them in foxholes, storming the beach at Normandy, or enduring the attack on Pearl Harbor. There they sat sixty four years after the war ended, no doubt wondering how the time passed so quickly. Dressed in patriotic colors, they used canes, walkers and wheelchairs to get around. You didn't see or hear any complaints, these were men who fought for us. They fought and in a lot of cases, died to defend the United States of America. They boarded the same Southwest flight as the PawSox, settled into their seats and headed for the airport in Baltimore where a bus awaited their arrival. After the short ride to the monument, I imagined there would be a flood of emotions, ranging from sorrow and anger to a sense of "Wow, I can't believe we did what we did", perhaps a sense of pride for their accomplishment. I suddenly felt very guilty for being bitter about getting up early. You know these men faced much more dire situations. It definitely gave me a pause for thought. As we got off the plane, the people at the gate in the Baltimore airport were standing and applauding their arrival. It was a humbling experience. I'm glad I was there. I know this blog is supposed to be about baseball, but I felt that any reader might appreciate everything about our life on the road. Today was a special day.
After we boarded the plane, the stewardess welcomed the veterans on board. She then wished PawSox manager Ron Johnson a happy 65th birthday. Every trip, it seems someone tells the flight attendant that it's RJ's birthday. RJ is only 53 and his birthday is in March. Usually they just wish him a happy day, but this time the stewardess got the entire plane to sing "Happy Birthday". To me, it was incredibly funny. Wild applause followed as the players got a tremendous kick from the joke. As Larry the Cable Guy might say- "That's funny, I don't care who you are."
True moment- as we got off the plane, strength and conditioning coach Mike Jones was applauded with the other veterans. Jonesey is a "silver fox" with a full head of white hair. He took a good deal of teasing for it and inherited a new nickname, "D-Day". We'll see if it sticks.
Best of luck to Jeff Corsaletti, the outfielder out of the University of Florida. Corso wa traded early Saturday to Pittsburgh. The PawSox will receive Freddy Guzman. Guzman lead the I.L. in stolen bases in 2008.
1 Comment
A couple of summers ago, my family and I were in DC and when we were at the WWII monument I was struck by how much the veterans of that war want to share their stories. I think they know there is little time for most of them and I think they want to make sure another generation knows their stories. God Bless them.

In La Crosse County, the winter months for job growth can be a bit of a drag.
"It's the seasonality of Wisconsin that's hard to get rid of," said regional labor market analyst Bill Brockmiller.
New numbers from the Department of Workforce development shows La Crosse County's unemployment rate rose from 4.9 percent to 6.3 percent.
Brockmiller said after coming off of a strong holiday hiring season, seeing unemployment rise in January isn't surprising.
"We have retail trade that in January, lays off a lot of its seasonal help," said Brockmiller. "We have construction that continues to slow down in January, one of its slowest months."
The city of La Crosse also saw unemployment rise by nearly two percent.
Creating jobs and growing the local economy is something both La Crosse mayoral candidates plan to work on if elected.
Candidate Doug Farmer said it can't happen unless neighborhood revitalization happens too.
"The word of the day, the word of the age is partnership," said Farmer. "We're all interconnected. We'll never have a successful downtown if we're ringed with neighborhoods that are not successful."
Candidate Tim Kabat said partnership with the business community will be key.
"I've got some ideas that I would like to work on including business round table meetings where we sit down with the business community and talk about issues and talk about the challenges, and really try to again work together as public private partners to help grow our region," said Kabat.
But Brockmiller said either way, something needs to be done to lower the unemployment rate.
"Where we are in this recovery (with) this slow steady increase, it's where we can expect to be, but in the long run we need to be lower," said Brockmiller.
Brockmiller said finding a way to lower the rate grows the economy in more ways than one.
"To get more people jobs is the most painless way to for government to raise revenue," said Brockmiller. "It really is because more people (will) pay taxes without raising them. More people can afford houses, more people can afford a new washer, so there's more sales tax."
Brockmiller said he expects February's unemployment number to be similar to January's.
He thinks the rate will fall back down once the weather starts to warm up.
Even with a rise in the unemployment rate, the La Crosse metropolitan area still ranks second to Madison for having the lowest unemployment rate in state.

Meet Jack! Jack is a black and tan Coonhound. He is about 2-3 years old, neutered, and current on his vaccinations. Jack is one silly man looking for just the right home to call his own. He loves to go on walks and would be happy to be your new walking or hiking partner. He enjoys playing fetch and loves attention and affection from his human friends. This well-mannered man is ready for you! Jack is fairly gentle and tolerant. With parental guidance, he should do well in a home with children above toddler age. With time to adjust and proper introductions, Jack may do well in a home with other pets. He can be dog selective at times so a dog meet would be required at the time of adoption. Jack is an amazing dog looking for the perfect, loving home. Give this sweet man a chance and he'll change your life...for the better.
If you would like to help our wonderful friends while they are waiting to be adopted, the Coulee Region Humane Society is always looking for donations. These donations go a long way in making the stay more comfortable for our animal guests.

Last week, following nine hours of debate that involved more than 100 amendments, the Texas House passed HB5 — an education reform bill sponsored by Republican state Rep. Jimmie Aycock of Killeen, the Public Education Committee chairman — that slashes the number of end-of-course tests by 67 percent, from 15 to five.
It was co-sponsored by 70 representatives, including Rep. J.M. Lozano, who represents the newly created District 43, a largely rural district that includes Bee, Jim Wells, Kleberg and San Patricio counties.
The bill, enjoying broad bipartisan support, passed 145-2.
Lawmakers says that the bill's attracting so many amendments is indicative of intense public interest.
So, too, is the pure volume of bills filed in both houses concerning education. "There's just a ton of bills out there," Thomas says.
House members also eliminated the STAAR requirement that the test results constituted 15 percent of a student's grade.
The bill now heads for the Texas Senate, which also is considering its own bill.
"It's a step in the right direction," Thomas says. "I like the idea that the legislators are backing off from the stringent four-by-four requirements."
To be graduated, a student now must pass four years of math, science, English and social studies — a regimen that some critics say is too rigorous.
Proponents of the bill include business leaders who say the 4x4 system hampers their ability to find students who wish to enter the skilled workforce after graduation instead of attending college.
"I don't think everybody needs to take the upper-division math and science courses," Thomas says. "Not everybody needs calculus; not everybody needs physics. The tests need to be relevant to whatever a student's career choice is."
But, Thomas warns, the final legislation may barely resemble the dictates of HB5 because of changes decided by the Texas Senate.
Legislators predict the final bill will be hammered out by a House-Senate conference committee.
"I'm encouraged," she says, "but I'm also a conservative, so I'm not going to say I'm optimistic."
Thomas says she hopes a final bill will be passed before the end of the regular legislative session, rather than its being debated in special session.
"I don't have a problem with our testing students to find out where they are on the curriculum," Thomas says. "But, I don't think the scores should be the sole judge of our schools."
One of the focal points of the STAAR testing system is to supply a measure of how well a student is ready for college. But, Thomas questions its reliability.
"I don't like the way the tests are being used," she says. "I've known students who have done great in college, but they didn't do that well on their scores. I've also known students with great scores who flunked out because they were not ready for college."
HB5 and its Senate counterpart only address high school test scores. "What I would like to see," Thomas says, "is for someone to address the number of tests the elementary and middle school students have to take."
Twenty-five percent of the school year is devoted to testing — which doesn't include taking other required tests and classroom preparation.
She used a calendar on her desk as an example:
"Today, we're testing grade 4, day 1 writing, grade 7, day 1 writing, grade 5 math, grade 8 math and English 1 reading. Tomorrow, we administer grade 4, day 2 writing, grade 7, day 2 writing, grade 5 reading, grade 8 reading and English 2 reading. The next day, English 2 reading.
"It just goes on and on and on and on."

These two images, taken about a week apart by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, show four moons orbiting the distant, icy dwarf planet Pluto. The green circle in both snapshots marks the newly discovered moon, temporarily dubbed P4, found by Hubble in June.
P4 is the smallest moon yet found around Pluto, with an estimated diameter of 8 to 21 miles (13 to 34 km). By comparison, Pluto's largest moon Charon is 746 miles (1,200 km) across. Nix and Hydra are roughly 20 to 70 miles (32 to 113 km) wide.
The new moon lies between the orbits of Nix and Hydra, two satellites discovered by Hubble in 2005. It completes an orbit around Pluto roughly every 31 days.
The moon was first seen in a photo taken with Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 on June 28, 2011. The sighting was confirmed in follow-up Hubble observations taken July 3 and July 18.
P4, Nix, and Hydra are so small and so faint that scientists combined short and long exposures to create this image of Pluto and its entire moon system. The speckled background is camera "noise" produced during the long exposures. The linear features are imaging artifacts.
The tiny satellite was uncovered in a Hubble survey to search for rings around the frigid dwarf planet. The observations will help NASA's New Horizons mission, scheduled to fly through the Pluto system in 2015.

|View EO 12866 Meetings
|Printer-Friendly Version Download RIN Data in XML
|Publication ID: Spring 2006
|Title: ●Postmarket Safety Reporting for Combination Products
|Abstract: The proposed rule would clarify the postmarket safety reporting requirements for combination products (combinations of a drug, device, and/or biological product). The proposed rule would provide a framework for the reporting of adverse events for combination products and specify sponsors' reporting requirements for each type of combination product. The proposed rule would clarify the circumstances in which following one set of postmarket safety reporting regulations generally would meet the requirements of another set, and the circumstances in which these requirements would be supplemented with specific reporting provisions applicable to the other constituent part of the combination product. The regulation would ensure the consistency and appropriateness of postmarket safety reporting for combination products while avoiding the need for duplicative reporting requirements.

Nothing in life is simple -- especially when it comes to romantic relationships. However, some people make things harder than they need to be.
When all those little habits that your soul mate possesses evolve from endearing idiosyncrasies to the bane of your existence, chances are the spark has started to fade.
If you find that your relationship is losing its "oomph," there are many options available other than breaking up.
You could spend hundreds of dollars on counseling. You could communicate about your problems until you are blue in the face. You could even attend a couples "boot camp" where you are forced to practice grueling and humiliating "trust exercises."
Or you can just speed things right along and follow these five simple tips for reigniting the flame in your relationship ...
No. 5: Take a stroll down memory lane
Sometimes the easiest and quickest way to get that lost lovin' feeling back is to actually transport yourselves back in time.
OK, you can't literally do that -- real life hasn't yet caught up with sci-fi. But you can go back to the restaurant where you had your first date.
Or go dancing and ask the DJ to play "your song." Or bring out those photo albums and love letters you've been collecting over the years and sit together by the fireplace talking about all the great times you had.
Once you remember what made you guys sizzle as a couple in the first place, those old emotions and chemical reactions are likely to heat up all over again.
Plus, a stroll down memory lane is a lot less expensive than couples counseling or divorce court. And so is our next tip ...
No. 4: Try something new
You can't spend all your time reminiscing about the past -- that is just the beginning of the rekindling process. It is just as important to try new experiences together.
Tandem bungee jumping is always good for sparking the adrenaline rush you need to feel forever bound.
But if that's a little extreme for you, try something new in the bedroom, such as new lingerie or maybe even try a little bit of role playing.
Even a change of scenery can help rekindle the romance. If you can't afford a vacation, or don't have time, check into a local hotel for a night and pretend you're in your ideal vacation spot. After all, you don't need to go far away to leave your ordinary life behind for a little while.
A little old, a little new, and a little of our next idea will go a long way ...
No. 3: Be spontaneous
Too often, married couples fall into a routine, especially when there are children in the picture. Every day can start to be the same old thing over and over again and that can take its toll on your relationship.
So mix it up now and then. If you usually spend the night in front of the TV watching the game, decide tonight is the time to surprise your partner by suggesting a walk around the lake.
Or decide tonight is the night to get away from the dinner table and have a picnic in your backyard. Such surprises are a great way to get the whole family involved and spend some time with your husband or wife doing something new and different.
And be spontaneous with your love as well. A surprise romantic night out on the town or any other kind of surprise can bring the excitement back for both of you.
