Using OES11g from the Oracle Database
By user12587121 on Oct 24, 2011
Future versions of the Oracle database may include integration with Oracle Entitlement Server for fine grained authorization configuration. However with the current versions (11g, 10g for example) any such integration is not available out of the box.
How then might we use OES to protect data in an Oracle database ?
As an example, consider a stored procedure querying and returning values from some database tables. We can use OES to provide authorization on this data in the following way: we ask OES for an authorization decision and if the decision is allow we interpret any obligations as additional where clauses that we use to constrain the queries.
With OES performance is best if we can make the call from a Java SM client as we can then benefit from local copies of the authorization policies This reduces the overhead of the call to OES to the microsecond level. So in the case of our stored procedure, if it is being invoked from Java, then it would be best to call OES from Java and pass in any constraints to the stored procedure as parameters. However this may not always be possible.
In this case we can use the facility of the Oracle database to load java classes and to call them from stored procedures. As OES offers a webservice XACML interface one could load some Java code that would call out to OES. Another technique would be to use the OES gateway from my previous posting, calling it using a very simple Java class that does a HTTP GET for the appropriate URL.
This set of scripts and SQL demonstrate how to load such a Java class to the Oracle database and configure a database function to allow the Java class to be called from a sample SQL script. If one is using Oracle 10g database then as it has a 1.4 JDK one must compile the class with JDK 1.4. Oracle Database 11g has a 1.5 JDK so JDK 1.5 can be used in that case.
The steps to prepare the example are:
- compile the Java class with the appropriate JDK (use the
- load the java classes to the data base (use the
- run the database preparation script to define a function to interface to the Java class and allow the database user appropriate permissions to execute Java code. The example assumes the user SYSTEM is being used.
- run the SQL script to show the usage of the call to OES. It runs a raw query on the scott.emp table with no constraints and then it calls the Java class which will call the OES Gateway to recover an authorization from OES. If there are obligations returned the procedure looks for an obligation key of scott.emp and if it finds one it uses the value--for example (sal<2000)-- as a constraint when querying the table.

Practice doesn't make Lakers perfect against 76ers
LOS ANGELES – Three days without a game for Dwight Howard's body to recuperate. Consecutive days of practice for Mike D'Antoni to refine the Steve Nash-led attack.
And one more dog of a day in the Lakers' season, no matter that it's 2013 instead of 2012 now.
The Lakers dropped to 1-9 this season when trailing after one quarter and blew another chance to creep above the .500 mark with a loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, 103-99, on Tuesday night at Staples Center. They never led in this first quarter — falling behind, 16-5, despite not having played since Howard's bounce-back game Friday night vs. Portland.
That great game by Howard prompted Nash to issue a "When he plays hard ..." commentary on Howard's impact — except inactivity set in again. Howard didn't have the lift, touch or wherewithal to make the game easy for his teammates, who didn't pick up Howard either.
Howard did have five blocks, though that didn't give the Lakers' defense the consistent unity it needed to contain UCLA product Jrue Holiday (26 points, 10 assists, one turnover).
D'Antoni said the slow start might be understandable considering the lack of recent game action, but then he said: "I don't understand how in the second half we don't come out and take control of the game."
The 76ers continue to play without ex-Lakers center Andrew Bynum because of knee problems that have kept him out all season. But the Lakers were missing their own interior force with Howard (1 for 7 from the field) and Pau Gasol (2 for 12) offering next to nothing in the paint. The interior problems were exacerbated by the Lakers' poor 3-point shooting — 3 for 22 (14 percent) — which encouraged Philadelphia's defense to collapse in the paint.
About Howard, D'Antoni said: "Got a little tired, probably. Maybe frustrated."
Kobe Bryant (36 points) kept the Lakers in it with some brilliant shots but not enough of them, and didn't record an assist as the Lakers' offense eroded into Bryant's one-man, high-degree-of-difficulty gunning too often despite the presence of Nash (12 points, 10 assists).

Description: The identity for the Series of Focus-Abengoa Forums to be held in the future was developed with the aim of achieving the most versatile and abstract brand possible, and one that is both symbolic and relevant. The topics for discussion at the Focus-Abengoa demanded an identity that functions as a metaphor for sustainable growth and reflect environmental concerns at the same time. The solution is a memorable organic shape that represents a flourishing tree, centered on fundamental human cooperation and Interaction as a whole, so that the planet can endure and prosper with the natural resources available.

'Bold' from Dawson Interiors
Flowing, funky and surprisingly comfortable, The Moustache Paris 'Bold' Chair makes a powerful design statement.
Made up of two tubular parts in metal embedded in each other and inflated with thin polyurethane foam, the line drawn by the Bold successfully plays the role of foot, seat then back, and gives it an amazing level of comfort. With a single stroke, in the manner of the Osvaldo Cavandoli Linea, and thickened similarly to the font which is made bold, the Bold chair succeeds in doing away with the seat and back. Covered with a removable textile or 100 % Italian cashmere coating, the Bold chair can change colour in a few seconds.
Made in France, the Bold chair is composed of a few simple materials: steel structure, polyurethane foam and removable textile or 100% Italian cashmere covers, which can be bought separately. The Bold is available in purple, pink, dark grey, light grey, yellow, black and navy blue, with the Italian cashmere covers also available in teal, storm blue and liana brown.
The Bold chair and other exciting new Moustache Paris collections are now available exclusively through Dawson Interiors in Australia and New Zealand.

Byers ISD Closes After 106 Years
A small Texoma community is saying goodbye and ringing the final bell ... to close the chapter on 106 years of history. The community of Byers gathered tonight to officially end Byers Independent School District. Doing the honors, former Byers Superintendent Mike Priddy and longtime teacher Judy Wade. On June 25, 1906, George and Walter Byers held a lottery for 100 lots at a cost of 50 dollars per lot, in what is now the town of Byers. The brothers spent that 5- thousand dollars to build the first Byers school building on land they donated. Classes began in the fall of 1907 --- and according to the Texas State Historical Association -- 115 students and two -- yes, two -- teachers were there to get things started. One interesting note --- the original building had an outhouse on either side. Of course, one was for the girls ... the other was for the boys. 106 years is a long time for any school district and we want to congratulate Byers on more than a century of educating kids in Texoma !

Hmmmm…. Note the finger he uses when he plays cowboys and citizens.
Assesinos for hire.
"We must all buy arms to protect ourselves from the NRA!"
The NRA is there to protect your rights, but you can fully give them up either by moving or voting at the ballot box for Democrats.
The ACLU is there to protect your rights, even your right to bear arms. The NRA is there to frighten you out of your money with lies and bogeymen.
The NRA is all about gun safety and sensibility. I don't own a gun and don't want to no matter how far down the tubes prez hussain sends us. The ACLU is all about its own liberal agenda and the 'rights' of the left.
@alcors3 "The NRA is all about gun safety and sensibility."
Back in the '90s, George H W Bush made the news when he quit the NRA in disgust over a newsletter they sent out referring to government agents as "jack booted thugs."
what about turning swords into plowshares?
Sorry, that would be bad for the major arms manufacturers who are the backers of the NRA.
The NRA may have once been about gun safety, which is why they used to call for universal background checks. Now it's purely for protecting their corporate sponsors from liability, and drumming up business by scaring people who aren't very smart and getting them to buy ever more guns, no matter how many Americans have to die.
One, because at the behest of the NRA, the GOP has been filibustering ANY nominee for the head of the ATF. If they wanted to enforce laws, step one would be hiring someone to do that. Two, if the NRA wanted to enforce laws, they'd allow laws to be passed. There ARE no laws that prevent people from selling guns to criminals, and the GOP just filibustered one. The NRA has to be stomped into irrelevance by voting out the cowardly worms in the Republican party.
La Pierre's leadership of the NRA has made Al Qaeda seem "reasonable". As a long time gun owner, I can't think of an organization in the U.S. that actually poses a greater threat to making folks LOSE their "rights" to bear arms. It's their No Rational Alternative approach.
"Provide valid link to back up your claim"
I love how Tigger never backs up his comments when challenged, yet doesn't hesitate to demand it of others.
Fear and Greed won this round, the fight is not over!
Gee, it's ok to stereotype the 4 million members of the NRA but you would get pilloried if you said the NAACP is a racist organization filled with criminals because some of the members have run afoul of the law.
One can't know the minds of each of the members…one can only see what is said and done by the leaders they elect.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. - Earlier this month, officials from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) and the Department of Energy (DOE) signed a Natural Resources Damages settlement agreement. The signed document designates DOE's plans to compensate the state for ecological and human use impacts associated with contaminant releases from facilities at the Oak Ridge Reservation.
To correct the mistakes of past operations on the Oak Ridge Reservation, DOE conducts environmental cleanup projects to eliminate or reduce risks to human health and the environment. But these efforts may not fully restore injured natural resources or address their lost uses by the public. Through the Natural Resources Damages Assessment process, studies are completed to identify the extent of resource injuries, the best methods for restoring those resources, and the type and amount of restoration required.
After coordinating with the State of Tennessee, with concurrence from the U.S. Department of Interior and the Tennessee Valley Authority to address the Lower Watts Bar Reservoir, DOE agreed to grant an Indefinite Term Easement of 2,965 acres (the Black Oak Ridge Conservation Easement) to the State of Tennessee. The tract of land is situated in the northwest section of the Oak Ridge Reservation, and will provide habitat for endangered songbirds and recreational opportunities for the public (e.g. hiking, bird- watching, and biking).
In addition to the land easement, DOE has agreed to pay the state $20,000 annually for operation and maintenance of the land, and $16,300 for yearly in-kind goods and services associated with the easement. Finally, DOE will provide a one-time $50,000 payment to the Trustee Council. The funds will be used by the Council to further compensate for recreational fishing services lost due to environmental contamination through restoration projects to specifically benefit recreational fishing in the area.
The role of the Trustee Council is to evaluate how the natural resources were harmed over the time that the area was contaminated and to assist in the development a restoration program to compensate for those losses. The Trustee Council included members from DOE, the State of Tennessee, DOI, and TVA.
"This agreement is a culmination of a lot of hard work, and we are very pleased with this solution," said Robert Brown, deputy manager of the Oak Ridge Office and chair of the Trustee Council. "The Department of Energy is intensely committed to the environmental cleanup in affected areas around the Reservation, and we're equally interested in ensuring the negative impacts on the land don't translate into fewer resources for the community to enjoy."
DOE has agreed with the other Natural Resource Trustees to now focus on and expedite settlement negotiations concerning Natural Resource damages for the entire Oak Ridge Reservation.

Secretary of State Linda McCulloch Unveils "Treasured" Montana Artist
Betsey Hurd, Kalispell/Livingston Painter
HELENA - Secretary of State Linda McCulloch on Friday introduced painter Betsey Hurd as the next "Treasured" Montana Artist. Hurd is an accomplished artist who splits her time between residences in Kalispell and Livingston.
"Betsey's exhibit is as powerful as her subject, the horse," McCulloch said. "Her approach to color and shape captures the graceful beauty of a horse running free in the wild. It's almost whimsical in design."
McCulloch launched the "Treasured" Artist exhibit in January 2009 to showcase Montana artists whose work is tied to the Treasure State. Having lived in Montana all her adult life, Hurd says she's honored to have the opportunity to celebrate an animal she lives with and observes daily.
"My strength as an artist comes from depicting what I know best," Hurd said. "I'm one of those people who never got over being a horse-crazy girl. I still ride every day. Horses are stalwart and frisky, powerful and gentle, and balance a lot of weight on perilously thin legs. It's hard to better an honest horse."
Hurd is a renowned artist whose work is featured in permanent collections at the White House in Washington, D.C.; the Nicolaysen Museum in Casper, Wyoming; the Hockaday Museum of Art in Kalispell, and Paris Gibson Museum of Art in Great Falls, Montana; and at Over Pope's Head in Clifton, Virginia. She is a painter and ceramic and bronze sculptor, with work featured in galleries and exhibits across the West.
"Horses are a staple in Montana," Secretary McCulloch said. "We either own them, or watch them as we drive past fields and pastures. They epitomize the notion of freedom and spirit, and Betsey is spot-on in her interpretation."
Hurd's exhibit will be on display through May 2012 in the front lobby of the Secretary of State's Office, which is located in the State Capitol Building in Helena. It is available at no cost to the public.
Past and present "Treasured" Montana Artist exhibits are featured in an online gallery at sos.mt.gov/Gallery.

Consider the following scenario: you're walking down the street to your favorite microbrewery when a police officer stops you. "Excuse me", she says. "Do you live around here?" "Yes, yes I do." "Have you heard seen any strange people hanging around here?" she follows up. "No, not really." Maybe you have your hands in your pocket; maybe you're wearing a hoodie; maybe you're a minority. "Did you break into that apartment there and steal a TV?" she asks, accusingly.
Now, maybe you're a smart person, or maybe you've read this blog or many like it, or maybe you've had a brush or two with the justice system before and something somewhere in the recesses of your brain says to you "Don't answer that! You don't have to say anything! Walk away!".
It's been drilled into you: "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you". It's a phrase that's spawned an empire and will keep Dick Wolf's family from having to work for about two centuries.
So you remain silent. You walk away. She doesn't like that. She arrests you. You go to trial because you're innocent. And then the prosecutor asks the officer about that incident. She says you went silent all of a sudden when asked the incriminating question. Maybe she says you shifted your feet, or averted your gaze. Then the prosecutor argues to the jury – the 6 people that will decide whether you keep your liberty or lose it – that only guilty people avoid answering incriminating questions.
If you have nothing to hide, you won't hide anything.
It's pretty clear that post-arrest silence cannot be commented on – because really, why even have the right if you're going to allow that, but yesterday, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that [PDF] pre-arrest silence can be equated to guilt.
That means, if you're questioned by a police officer, before being arrested, and you refuse to answer a question, that silence is proof that you're guilty.
Because, see, it's not that you don't have a right to be silent – we don't know that for sure – but you have to explicitly invoke that right. Meaning you have to say it out loud.
"Sorry officer, but I refuse to answer your question."
You know what I call that? A technicality. A technicality that has now erased a whole lot more of what was written into the Fifth Amendment for your protection.
So why this line? Isn't the "Miranda" warning prophylactic, as we were just told? Isn't that merely an "advisement" of an already existing right?
So do I have the privilege against self-incrimination or not? Does it matter if I'm arrested or not? Should it? I'm either incriminating myself or I'm not. Does my custodial status matter?
Orin Kerr, writing at Volokh, asks two questions:
Finally, I have two major questions about how Salinas is supposed to work in practice. The first question is obvious: How clear an invocation of the Fifth Amendment right does it need to be?
Second, and perhaps more interestingly, it's unclear to me what is supposed to happen when a suspect outside of custody clearly asserts his Fifth Amendment privilege.
You really should read his entire post – and this one by fellow blawger bmaz, and this one at Cato and this one by Bobby G. F. – but I can answer that second one easily: what's supposed to happen is that law enforcement respects the existence and invocation of those rights and stops questioning.
But that's not going to happen. What's going to happen is that they're not going to advise anyone of these rights. They're going to "manufacture" scenarios so as to elicit silences and then use those silences to form the basis for probable cause to arrest people. Can't you just imagine that officer who says that "based on his training and experience", "innocent people don't make furtive gestures" and since you did and then "stared silently, with a guilty expression, at the floor", there is probable cause to believe that you are, in fact, guilty?
I don't trust them to not abuse this to arrest individuals they don't have much else on, in an effort to get them into a custodial setting in a police department to further "question" them.
If silence is guilt, then is that enough for probable cause?
When a silence is as good as an admission, does it really matter how you question someone or what you ask them?
The State has already argued that it should have the authority to detain – and that's a legal term meaning you're not free to go – anyone on the street for no reason whatsoever. Now they can ask you questions and if you silently walk away, they get to claim you're guilty because of that?
Do you feel the grip tightening? Do you feel trapped yet?
Perhaps it is easy for you to say – as it is for the august Justices of the Supreme Court – that only a guilty person would refuse to answer incriminating questions or speak up about their rights. But have you ever witnessed an "interrogation"? There's a reason why false confessions is a growing area of social science study. And what of those with limited mental abilities, or language barriers?
The Constitution is not dependent upon your level of confidence or your proficiency in English. It exists, as it always has, as a document that has executed. It's rights have been conferred and now we're giving the exercise of those rights back to the control of the constabulary.
When those with power decide who gets what protection, eventually, no one gets any.
This is what blind deference to establishment in the name of safety has wrought.
But don't keep silent about it; I might think you're guilty.

Philadelphia City Council passed legislation last week that would prohibit the city from accepting a bid, or holding investments in, foreign-owned firms that do business with Iran or Sudan.
Its primary sponsor, Democratic Councilman James Kenney, insisted that the bill is not just a symbolic victory, but will hurt both countries in the pocketbook as well. He did acknowledge that the financial implications for various city departments weren't immediately clear.
The vote in City Hall came just a few days before the Pennsylvania House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill that would mandate the state's three largest pension funds to divest from companies that deal with Iran and Sudan. A similar measure, sponsored by State Rep. Josh Shapiro (D-District 153), passed the House in 2008, but later stalled in the Senate.
"Investing in companies with ties to terrorist nations puts the Commonwealth's assets at substantial financial risk. A company's association with terrorism and human-rights abuses undermines the value of our investment in such a company," said Shapiro, who is hopeful that the bill stands a better chance this time.
A spokesman for Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter said that the 12-page Council bill was currently under review.
Kenney noted that he expects the mayor to sign it shortly.
"Those companies doing business there are going to feel the economic pinch," said Kenney, a lawmaker from South Philadelphia.
The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia lobbied on behalf of the city legislation.
Essentially, the law would forbid the city from accepting a contractual bid from a foreign-owned company doing business in Iran or Sudan. Some, but not all, of the parameters for determining which companies would be specified are laid out in the bill's language, and some still need to be worked out, explained Kenney.
There are several provisions for waivers, including the stipulation that if the next lowest bidder would cost the city 10 percent more, it could hire what would otherwise be a prohibited company.
Kenney said that the city will undergo a review to determine if it currently has any contracts with a prohibited company. The law can't nullify an existing contract, but would prevent an agreement from being renewed.
A major compromise for the bill involved leaving out any language that related to the city's pension funds, making it very different from the bill being debated in Harrisburg, which is all about public pension funds.
Rob Dubow, who heads up the city's department of finance and chairs the Board of Pensions and Retirement, cited a concern from the city's lawyers as the reason. In a written statement to the council, Dubow said that the City Law Department feared that forcing the pension board to divest might not square with current federal law.
"If the federal law were to change, the Board would adopt an appropriate resolution," he wrote.
Many in Washington are trying to do just that.
In October, the U.S. House passed the Iran Sanctions Enabling Act, which would make it easier for states and local governments to enact divestments targeting Iran and Sudan. The U.S. Senate banking committee also approved a similar measure; it's now awaiting a floor vote.
On Dec. 2, the Federation issued an action alert asking Jewish community members to urge members of the U.S. House and Senate to approve two separate bills regarding divestment and sanctions that are currently being debated on the Hill.

Announcing the 2012 Cameroon Startup Challenge
Fostering the growth of the VC4Africa community is central to the daily work that Ben and I do. In our travels and interactions with entrepreneurs in all corners of the continent, we're also acutely aware of the need for early stage venture finance. Increasingly, new funds, niche firms and angels are testing the waters of investing in African tech. Despite this, many African markets remain underserved. The challenges are well understood: high costs of due diligence, lack of viable exits and so on.
We've kept Sanaga Ventures in standby mode over the last year while we refined our strategy. Ben and I are focused on markets and sectors we know well, and will offer not only seed finance but a package that includes the knowledge, network, mentorship and non-financial resources needed to give startups their best shot at success. Our end goal is to work closely with these founders to create an attractive opportunity for the investment community.
To start things off, we're pleased to announce a Startup Challenge for Cameroon; a country and tech community that's very close to us:
The competition offers a cash prize of USD $5,000 for the most innovative web, mobile or hardware-based business venture in Cameroon. As an additional benefit, the winning venture is eligible to be incubated at ActivSpaces, Cameroon's leading technology hub, and receive ongoing support, oversight, services and mentoring. An awards ceremony will be held in Cameroon at the close of the challenge with the top three startups, participants, judges, invited guests, a video crew and local press. Entries will be accepted from May 7th – July 6th, 2012.
We're very fortunate to have several of the top figures in Cameroon's tech sector participating on the judging panel. Entry criteria, eligibility, success measures and all the details are available in the press release:

Where I stayed
Y'all know how I feel about the big apple.
I'm just friends with New York.
After the past couple days though, I have a growing affection for the place. Let's start from the beginning…
I arrived in New York city late Saturday afternoon and it's hot. It's not just hot, it's humid. Turfed out of the train station onto the bright street in front of Madison Square Garden, it's definitely a cab job. The subway here isn't as straight forward as Boston's, and my bag is the heaviest thing on the planet.
It's small, but super cute - the standard cabins are only big enough for a single bed and a person to stand next to it, but there's clever storage space and the cute d�cor (decked out like ship's cabins) helps you feel less claustrophobic. There are also free bikes for exploring the neighbourhood but I haven't got long to look around before I have to head out again. I am catching the metro north railroad out of town to Port Chester, New York State, to see Hugh Laurie (Dr House) play with his Copper Bottom band at the newly restored Capitol Theatre.
I'm too disorganized for dinner but just in time for the train, which whizzes past Larchmont and Mamaroneck (again - where my family used to live and I really want to visit later in my trip!!) before dropping me in Port Chester just steps from the Capitol theatre.
It's after 11pm by this point and I haven't eaten anything since lunchtime. I come across a lady selling $1 churros in the subway… My saviour. By that point I would have given her $100. And made out with her.
Arriving home at the Jane late that night I realise the hotel bar is quite the hot nightspot. There is a long trail of hipsters and drunk college kids/model types waiting all the way around the block to get in. Feels good to walk straight to the front of the line with my key and let my unfashionable, sugar-covered-donut eating self right in the front door while the bouncers smile and greet me with a friendly 'good evening'.
Damn West Village hipsters…

My Son
I know this isn't totally baseball related, but I have to do this.
His name is Robbie. He was born on the 15th of December (sorry it took so long to post).
We are very blessed to have him. Life is simply amazing.
He is healthy and happy. Mom and dad are very tired…
I really want to talk a little bit about the possiblity of the Rays adding Manny and Johnny, but right now fatigue is taking over.
Thanks to all who sent a note of congrats and concern. It means a great deal.
It's funny, but somehow baseball has taken on even more meaning! I look forward to his first Rays game this summer…
How old do they have to be before they can start swinging a bat!? Ha!

Congrats man! What a blessing!
Aww … glad to hear he's healthy and mom and dad are doing OK. Congrats!
Congrats on your little miracle. I wish him health and happiness. His first ball game will be a great day, I'm sure. It won't take him long to start swinging the bat.
'Minoring In Baseball'
Nice work, congrats.
Too Cute…. when a miracle like that happens it kind of makes you realize baseball really is just a game…
Happy fatherhood…
Congrats on your new addition to the world and your family. May Robbie live healthy and happy!
– Randy
WOW!!! Congratulations! And who are we all kidding? His wife did the hard part!! Let's give a round of applause to her! Enjoy it buddy! Rest when you can. They are only this small once and it doesn't last very long. Soak it in; the next thing you'll hear is for the keys to the car "Dad".
All wishes for health and happiness!
He is a d o r a b l e ! !!
Agree with Russel that he looks like a hitting first baseman.

Movirtu's Cloud Phone for the world's poorest citizens
An international telecoms firm has turned to Lewis PR to help promote a mobile service to connect some of the world's poorest citizens. PR Week reports.
London-based Movirtu has launched a cloud phone specifically for the developing world. It enables communities to share a single mobile phone, but individuals have their own numbers.
According to Balancing Act, the account details are stored in the operators hub and each individual user on the platform gets to store contacts and can have a service which forwards missed calls to another phone for when they are not logged in.
It also contains a gateway that will allow them to use m-money services like M-Pesa.
For the wealthier users in this low-end user group, there is a product called ManyMe with which the user can get several different numbers on the same basis. It currently works on any GSM handset but not CDMA, although they may extend to it in the future.
The product was being tested in 2010 and started being deployed as a pilot with several operators in Africa. Two weeks ago it went live with Airtel Madagascar.
Movirtu hopes to reach more than one billion people, primarily in Africa and South Asia, who previously could not afford a mobile phone.

Entrepreneur Jay Bourke said yesterday that he is very happy with the performance of his restaurant the Market Bar, with figures showing that the business increased pre-tax profits by 28% to €401,018 in 2011.
Mr Bourke co-owns the Dublin restaurant and pub with John Reynolds and Eoin Foyle, and the profits in 2011 follow profits of €295,087 in 2010.
The restaurant — with seating for 300 — featured on RTÉ series Fade Street, and the two years of successive profits follow a pre-tax loss of €409,002 in 2009.
In an interview yesterday, Mr Bourke confirmed the business continued to perform well in 2012. "We are very happy with the business and very proud of it. It is a great business and has always been very well-run. It is doing fine and has always offered good value," he said.
"It has been a difficult time to be in business with very little credit available. We are all a little battered and bruised, but if you are still in business, you are doing fine."
Mr Bourke criticised the Government's failure to deal with upward-only rent reviews. "A lot of businesses have been destroyed because of this silly legislation."
Last December, Mr Bourke and Mr Reynolds – along with two other publicans — were unsuccessful in opposing €1.4m plans by Dylan McGrath in securing a full public house licence for a 8,000ft sq restaurant close to the Market Bar.
Mr Bourke said Mr McGrath's new business, Fade St Social, "has improved the area. There are a lot of people coming here. He has done a fantastic job."
Mr Bourke said the restaurant sector in Dublin "is very competitive. There is fantastic food everywhere on offer".
According to a note attached to the accounts for Mercroft Taverns Ltd, "the company has a deficit of shareholder funds at year end of €989,161 — down from €1.33m in 2010. The company continues to depend on the support of its bankers, trade creditors and directors."

There are now over1525Lawler Trumpets,Flugals and Cornets made. For over 30 years we have continued to make what players want!
In a small shop in the hills of Tennessee Lawler trumpets are built one at a time. For the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ! Each Lawler Trumpet starts with a personal consultation as to what bell,leadpipe and bore will best suit your playing needs. Every aspect of a Lawler is taken into consideration for total satisfaction from its player. My Lawler C7 models offer great quality and hand made care but at an affordable price. So try a Lawler today. Take a look at the following pages and if you have any questions call.
Roy & Tysh Lawler
Lets Talk about Finishes!No Finish Lasts Forever!I wanted to make players aware of our Brush (scratch) lacquer finish. Lawler trumpets was first to offer this finish in lacquer and have been applying it for several years now. The advantages of this finish is that it is very maintainable over time. If you wear through an area it can be touched up with no visible signs. It does not change playability as I still use an air dry lacquer that is not hard and thick. Also turn around is faster as it is done in our shop. Plating such as silver and gold take longer and gold plate has become very expensive. So consider this finish. Plating will add up to 4-6 weeks to your build time. Brush lacquer will only add a few days. If you have any more questions about our brush lacquer for your new or old Lawler, just give me a call.A Note about 24K brush gold and satin gold plate. Our platers (Anderson Silver Plating, Elkhart,IN) will no longer offer any warranty on this finish. We recommend the high polish gold plating only as it will be warranted for 1 year.
What makes it a Lawler?
One of the comments made most often about my trumpets is how responsive and even the trumpet feels. This is due to the fact there is no stress when assembled.Even after polishing the braces are stress relieved several times.
I do all of the solder joint cleaning and polishing by hand. The reason for this is that the large companies put the finished assembled trumpet in an ACID etching solution to remove excess solder for speed. This is why some trumpets have red rot problems as they are left in too long. The strong acid pulls the zinc out of the brass.

Comments: This stick is not very good in my opinion. The control is not there and the flex is too noticeable. Stay
away from this racquet.
From: Ted, 8/12
String type and tension: Polyester @ 58 lbs
Comments: Love the racquet as someone who used to play everyday, play well, and winning some local
tournaments to not playing for a good four years because of work and now playing casually on the weekends. I had an old
ProKennex Jr racquet which I loved but the strings were dead and the ball was flying inconsistent and the handle was too small to
play with two hands so I had to retire it. I used to think those Yonex racquets looked weird and I wanted to get an oversized
racquet but I'm happy I got a midplus. I was able to pick it up and play well and aggressive right off the bat. The Black Widow
strings gave me more power than I thought, yet gave me loads of control. I'm more of placement kind of guy who's quick and
picks my spots to power through a shot (Hingis, Sanchez Vicario, Hewitt) with some serve and volley, so if your a power player, I
would skip this review.The only thing I'm still working on getting used to is my serve. The added grip length has thrown me off a
bit because now I don't have to jump as high yet I get plenty of spin and good power on flatter serves. My ball release I still need
to work out but serving is a strong point of mine so I'm sure its ok.
From: Joel, 6/12
String type and tension: Dunlop Black Widow 16g @ 56 lbs
Comments: This racquet has a great balance to it when you first pick it up. I have always liked Yonex
frames, but have never been able to talk myself into buying one. I was just about to buy this one but my son picked it
up and demoed it. He had been in demoing the Babolat Pure Storm Tour and picked this racquet up and we switched.
He hit for a few minutes and said, "I dont like this racquet! It vibrates even with the dampener in it" As I continued to
hit with the Babolat I did notice that it did not have the same vibration that the Yonex did. I am not sure if it was the
grommet vibrating or if it was the frame. Otherwise, this was a delightful stick to hit with. Groundstrokes came easy
and depth was great without much effort. I did have a time dialing in on the serve, but many posted they served great
with the racquet. I am going to demo the RDiS 200 and see if it has the vibration. I hope it does not as I really liked the
From: CF, 5/12
Comments: The only Yonex frame I had hit with before this that I've
cared for was the RD-7 so I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I
tried this frame. The RDiS 200 lite was more in line with the specs I
prefer as of late so I included it in my most recent demo shipment
from TW. Unfortunately I am very disappointed, this frame just felt
sluggish to me on ground strokes with my normal style of play. I
don't know if it's the Yonex head shape or what but I just could not
seem to generate the same kind of racquet head speed with it as I can
most frames. It played like a much thicker beamed racquet to me. I
found myself hitting a much flatter ball and having to constantly
adjust my game to get any court penetration. On the positive side it
served pretty nicely for me but that was the only positive for me.
The standard weight RDiS 200 might address some of my complaints as I
think a bit more weight and a more head light balance might help this
stick some.
From: Rob M, 4/12
Comments: Made a switch from Head Microgel Radical and could not be happier with
the results. Got my serving grove back, this stick give more power and better bite from
the 16x18 string pattern. Also feels much softer than the radical even with the higher
stiffness rating. Great racquet for aging weekend warrior like me.
From: Alexander, 3/12
Comments: This racquet is much better after adding 10 grams of lead tape at 3 and 9 o'clock on the
hoop. Before
that the racquet didn't feel very stable. however, it changes the balance to almost even though. Overall, I really like it
but it doesn't
have anywhere near the control of the RDX 500 90.
From: Noah, 8/11
String type and tension: Blue Gear and OG Gosen at 60 lbs.
NTRP Rating: 4.0
Comments: Absolute beauty. Great weight. Nice feel. Flex. Power. Best racket I ever used. I've had APDC
and Youtek
speed etc…this one is so much easier to play with. I hit topspin and it's great. And flat works as good. Just light enough
to whip
but heavy enough to plow. Get it and enjoy it. I played good straight from the day I bought it. Changed to poly strings
and oh yes
baby. Beat my regular partner easy. Just moved him everywhere. Love it and am looking to buy 2nd one
From: Dean, 01/11
String type and tension: Poly 55lb
Comments: Nice racquet for an old baseliner whose knees have limited him to only doubles. I have been
for 15 months for a lighter player's racquet that had similar qualities to a baseliner's frame - I used to play with the
Kneissl White
Star Twin in the late 80s & early 90s and then the Wilson Pro Staff 6.1. Have used several Babolat frames over the past 8
This RDiS 200 Lite frame provides a very solid feel with the ground strokes and returns. In addition, I can get some
extra pop on
my serves, and the head lightness of the frame allows for quick responses at the net. The string pattern does enhance
my ability
to place extra topspin on my ground strokes. Definitely worth a look if you are starting to gray but want to have that
old school
solid feel when you hit the ball.
From: Marc, San Diego, CA, USA. 09/10
String type and tension: GAMMA TNT, 54 lbs
Headsize: 98
NTRP Rating: 4.5
Comments:Is there gonna be a TW review on the RDiS 200 lite?
From: Anon, 07/10
(We currently do not have any plans to review this racquet.--TW Staff)
Comments: This is a great and well-balanced racket. I tried other rackets (including Wilson BLX Pro
Open; Prince
EXO3 Black, EXO3 White; and the heavier 320 gram version of the RDiS 200 Midplus) but this Yonex racket gives me the
control and feel. I switched the grip to Prince's ResiPro, which is the best grip I've ever used. I tend to hit with a bit of
a slice and
this racket is great at that but it also handles flat hits very well. This Yonex racket has improved my game noticeably
and is easy
on my arm. I like that Yonex is made in Japan and not China like everything else. I finally found the racket for me.
Love it!
From: Kent, San Antonio, TX, USA, 06/10
String type and tension: Tecnifibre Biphase X-One 17G, 52.5 lbs
NTRP Rating: 3.5
Comments: After playing with this racquet for about 30 min. I think even with bad demo strings the
racquet has
nice flex and really good control. It weight 315g without over-grip and dampener. Balance is about 32cm. For me it
feels way too
light and it's hard to handle heavy topspin with this frame. Didn't try the heavier version yet, it might be a way to go. (I
don't like
Yonex racquet at all, but this one is not that bad.)
From: Martin, Washington, Dc. 4/10
String type and tension: Demo

MammalMAP: Cape Grey mongoose
This widespread species has an elongated body with varying tints of grey to give it a grizzled appearance. Its small, round ears are situated on the sides of its long head that ends in a pointed muzzle. Its long, bushy tail is usually held parallel to the ground.
Cape grey mongoose is solitary and feeds predominantly on rodents and insects. Although, they do supplement their diet with birds, reptiles and other opportunistic prey items.
These mongooses are diurnal and only occasionally seen in pairs during mating season. They use ground holes made by other species as dens for their litter of 1 -3 young from August to December.
The IUCN Red List classifies Cape grey mongoose as a species of least concern in terms of conservation priorities. They have a wide habitat tolerance and are often seen along urban fringes. Chances are that if you haven't seen a Cape grey mongoose before, you clearly need to get out more.
