Portal server fails to start with the SQL error codes mentioned despite having successfully completed a database transfer.
The SQL errors indicate an attempt was made to allocate a table space, index space, or a related index space while the table space or index space was in check pending status. Furthermore, the check pending status needs to be resolved before the operation will be allowed.
DB2® for zOS®
Resolving the problem
Essentially, it is up to the database administrator to run a job that will clear out the check pending status. They should be aware of the following utilities that should help resolve this issue on the database:
-- If the object is a table space with referential relationships, then run the CHECK DATA utility to check for referential integrity violations.
-- If the object is a base table space with LOB columns, then run the CHECK DATA utility to validate the auxiliary columns.
-- If the object is a LOB table space, then run the CHECK LOB utility to validate the structure of the LOB table space.
-- If the object is an index space, then run the CHECK INDEX utility to verify that the index keys are consistent with the data in the table space or table space partition.

File this one under "Why am I not surprised?"
Bill Donohue, head of the Catholic League, has already pulled out of his request to join the NYC Gay Pride Parade in June. On Thursday, Donohue asked to march under a banner that would read, "Straight is Great."
In a statement Saturday, Donohue put his cards on the table, admitting that the purpose of his request "was to see just how far they would go without forcing me to abide by their rules."
Donohue was attempting to draw a parallel between the Gay Pride Parade and the NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade, which continues to ban gay and lesbian organizations from participating.
But this latest publicity stunt backfired on him when, perhaps to his surprise, Pride organizers warmly welcomed him.
David Studinski, march director of NYC Pride, said in a statement, "Mr. Donohue and his group are free to participate in the 2014 March. His group's presence affirms the need for this year's Pride theme, 'We Have Won When We're One.' Straight is great -- as long as there's no hate."
Looking for a way out of his parade charade, Donohue complained that the Pride March would require him to attend a mandatory information and safety session. The session, which is meant to ensure a smooth and safe event, is a prerequisite for all participating organizations.
In a particularly juvenile move, Donohue characterized the safety training sessions as "gay training sessions."
"I don't agree with your rule," Donohue told parade organizers when they told him it was mandatory.
"It is hypocritical for gay activists to complain about having to abide by the mandatory rules of the St. Patrick's Day parade," he continued, "and then inform me that I cannot march in their parade unless I respect their mandatory rules that I reject."
Donohue, of course, is comparing apples to oranges. It's one thing for an organization to reject a group from a parade because they are gays and lesbians and quite another for a group to object to being in a parade because of required safety training sessions.
But in Donohue's mind, somehow, these two circumstances are analogous. For many who have observed Donohue's latest failed stunt, this is only further evidence of his organization's deepening descent into irrational thinking and religious irrelevance.

More than 400 people participated in a Thanksgiving potluck at The Baitul Hameed Mosque in Chino.
There was a mix of Thanksgiving favorites, including turkey and stuffing and traditional Muslim dishes. The dinner was followed by the regularly-scheduled Thursday prayer service led by Imam Shamshad A. Nadir.
They've been having the dinner for the past three years, inviting the community to come join.
"Thanksgving is not because of food," Nadir said. "It's a small part of it. Our prupose is to remember the favors God has bestowed upon us in everyday life. And it's also to teach our children our traditions."

My son has a Gibson SG. He also has a fender strat-tom delong with the invader SH-8 pickup. He likes the sound he gets from his strat, and would like to come closer to that sound in his Gibson by changing the bridge pickup to the SH-8. Does anyone have any experience with this. Would the sound be similar to the strat. I am thinking of doing this for him for Christmas and would love to hear.

The Barnes Foundation was established by Albert C. Barnes in 1922 to "promote the advancement of education and the appreciation of the fine arts and horticulture." The Barnes holds one of the largest collections of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and early Modern paintings, with extensive holdings by Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso, Rousseau, Modigliani, Soutine and de Chirico, as well as Old Master paintings, important examples of African sculpture and Native American ceramics, American paintings and decorative arts, and antiquities from the Mediterranean region and Asia.
The Barnes will re-open in May 2012 in a new state-of-the-art building, designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects, located on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Center City, Philadelphia. The collection will be displayed in a Gallery that replicates the scale, proportion and configuration of the Foundation's original galleries in Merion. The new building also will house a 5,000-square-foot space devoted to special exhibitions, as well as classrooms, a 150-seat auditorium, and much-needed facilities for painting conservation and research.

CCR5 is a gene on a coding region of chromosome 3, which means any
advantage it conveys or conveyed it totally unrelated to the y-

I had no issues during the update. "Sample size" was two m0n0walls 1.22 on
two identical WRAP platforms, with different configurations.
One was upgraded via MS Internet Explorer 6 on a W2K Workstation machine
(all recent SPs and hotfixes), the other one via MS Internet Exploer 7 (all
recent SPs and hotfixes) on a W2K3 Server SR2.
Perhaps your firmware upload got corrupted somewhere in the network or by
the web browser (or the firmware file on the HD). Bit flips in the network
are, as far as my experience goes, extremely unlikely. Browser fuckups can
happen, and subtle HD failures as well.

Sponsor Animal Update: Stella
Stella: 3rd Quarter 2006
Pretty soon it will be Stella's anniversary since she was rescued. That's right, Stella came to us on November 5th, 2003 from our out-of-state rescue program. In these past few years she has had an opportunity to have a healthy, normal life thanks to the Sponsor program and the wonderful support from you. Her loving caregiver told us recently that Stella is doing just fine with her orthopedic problems. She still is a young dog though, and sometimes has to be 'reminded' to take it easy. She just has so much fun with her other canine siblings. Her new favorite treat has been bologna although, Miss Stella does have an ongoing weight problem, so her foster mom monitors how much she gets. Being overweight will make her orthopedic problems worse, and no one wants that. Thank you for your lifesaving funds for Stella and all the animals in the program. We couldn't do it without you.

Atto: Multi-Language Content
Atto multilanguage plugin
The aim of this plugin is to facilitate the creation of multilingual content, forgetting the awkward method present from many versions ago.
There is an existing plugin that makes this easier, developed by Iñaki Arenaza, but only for TinyMCE editor. So, we have found necessary a plugin for the default editor of Moodle to perform this task.
The implementation of this plugin has been based on the mentioned TinyMCE plugin, using also Iñaki's other plugin, the multilang2 filter.
Above mentioned Iñaki Arenaza's filter_multilang2 is required.

Can I use it in quesions?
I Tried it and it doesn"t work well.
when I write it in the answers it distroying everything.
- Fri, 2 Dec 2016, 4:16 PMThanks for the work on this- this is a fantastic idea. Multilangfilter2 is really great and a big improvement over the previous version. However, this particular atto integration does not seem to work well for me. In fact, I had to uninstall so that I could use Multilang2 again. With the atto plugin in place, the editor would highlight my tag and prevent me from editing it. As soon as I included the bracket "{" the problems began. I had this behaviour even after disabling the highlight feature in the settings dialogue. Finally, I could not configure the languages I wanted the atto plugin to display to the user. Do you have a manual that can address these issues? I'd be willing to give this another try if I can get it to work, solving the above problems.
Thanks again for all the hard work!
- Sun, 11 Dec 2016, 9:22 PMHello @Mathieu and @Irith,
Sorry for the delay, but last times have been pretty busy for me.
There's a known issue regarding the questions that is pending to be solved.
The bugs can be opened at: https://github.com/julenpardo/moodle-atto_multilang2/issues
I'll try to solve them as soon as I have time for it.

Tobacco companies profit from loophole, market small cigars
After decades of progress toward their goal of preventing smoking-related illness and death, public health officials said Thursday that they're seeing a worrisome new trend: Smokers who switch from high-priced cigarettes to cheaper, but equally dangerous, small cigars.
While cigarette consumption declined 33% from 2000 to 2011, use of other kinds of tobacco grew by 123%, as smokers sought lower-cost alternatives to cigarettes, whose prices have risen sharply as a growing number of states raise taxes on them, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And overall declines in smoked-tobacco consumption are grinding to a halt, with less than a 1% decrease in use from 2010 to 2011.
"This report demonstrates that the the tobacco industry is as resourceful, and as predatory, as ever," says Thomas Glynn, director of international cancer control at the American Cancer Society. "It also provides us with some insight into the tobacco industry's future plans. When manufactured cigarettes may, at some point in the future, no longer be their primary source of income, they will look to other ways — such as cigars, roll-your-own, various forms of smokeless tobacco — of maintaining their customer's nicotine dependence."
Tax "loopholes" appear to be driving the shift in smoking habits, says the CDC's Terry Pechacek, the report's co-author.
Due to those loopholes, "little cigars" that look nearly identical to cigarettes, except for their brown color, are taxed at much lower rates, so they cost a fraction of what a pack of cigarettes does, Pechacek.
Unlike old-fashioned stogies, the newly popular little cigars are basically plumped up cigarettes. Their slightly larger size nudges them over the edge into a different tax category, allowing them to sell for as little as seven cents each, or about $1.40 a pack. In most states, cigarettes sell for $4 or $5 a pack, says the CDC's Michael Tynan, another co-author of the report. Little cigars are especially appealing to children and teens, Tynan says, because they come in a variety of flavors, such as grape, vanilla and chocolate.
"They look like cigarettes," Tynan says. "They smoke like cigarettes. They taste better than a cigarette, because they have flavors. They are cheaper than cigarettes, because of the tax issues. But they are just as deadly. They contain the same toxic chemicals."
Young people, who have the least disposable income, make up the bulk of new smokers, Pechacek says. Studies show that nearly all smokers take up the habit before they turn 20. Raising taxes and creating smoke-free zones have been shown to be among the most effective ways to prevent kids and adults from starting smoking, as well as encouraging them to quit.
Recent CDC research shows that one in four high school boys is already smoking cigars, however, Pechacek says.
Studies show that kids are also increasingly turning to smokeless tobacco, either in traditional chews or new pellets, to get their nicotine fix in places where they can't smoke, he adds.
Pechacek says he's concerned that these alternatives to traditional cigarettes are allowing tobacco manufacturers to circumvent the many roadblocks put in their paths in recent years, from taxes to smoking bans.
"When we look at the pattern of 'replacement smokers,' which are youth and young adults, we have half a million more replacement smokers this past year than we did 10 years ago," he says.
Matthew Myers of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids says that "by keeping the prices of these products low, tobacco companies are attracting kids and keeping smokers smoking."
Myers says the report shows the need to equalize taxes on all tobacco products, and for the Food and Drug Administration to regulate all of them. A 2009 law gave the FDA authority to regulate cigars, but it has not done so yet, he says.
Myers notes that the biggest changes in tobacco use happened from 2008 to 2011. That's when the federal tax on cigarettes increased to $1.01 a pack, taxing small cigars and roll-your-own tobacco at the same rate as cigarettes. Larger cigars, pipe tobacco and smokeless tobacco were taxed at much lower rates. Many cigar makers made their small cigars slightly heavier to qualify for the lower tax rate on large cigars, Myers says.
Altria, the parent company of the country's leading cigarette maker, Philip Morris USA, believes "that little cigars and roll-your-own tobacco should pay the same tax as cigarettes, as Congress intended," spokesman David Sylvia said. Although Altria also owns John Middleton, which makes machine-made cigars, it supports state and federal laws "to ensure that taxes on little cigars and roll-your-own are taxed the same as cigarettes."
R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, also a major cigarette manufacturer, does not market loose or roll-your-own tobacco, or cigars. Other makers of little cigars could not be reached or declined to comment.
William Zoghbi, president of the American College of Cardiology, praised the CDC for bringing the trend to light. He says he's concerned that American's health — which has improved markedly as smoking rates have declined — will suffer. "This is really alarming," he adds.
Tax loopholes have cost governments more than $1 billion in revenue since 2009, says Chris Hansen, president of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network.
"The disparity in tax treatment of tobacco products is undercutting our ability to effectively reduce tobacco use and save lives," he said in a statement. "Tax loopholes harm public health by encouraging use of lower-taxed tobacco products. … More smokers who might otherwise quit are now resorting to other types of tobacco products, including cigars and pipe tobacco, because of lower taxes resulting in overall lower costs. The CDC's findings are consistent with a Government Accountability Office report issued in April that found the same disparities in consumption of smoked tobacco products."
Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable deaths in this country, killing approximately 443,000 Americans each year, Hansen says. Tobacco costs the health care system $96 billion a year.

E30 immobiliser bypass
Firstly I'd like to thank Chris Deegan, who ever you are, for excellent tutorial on how to swap a dash... I couldn't have done it with out it.
However when I pulled the glove box out the immobilizer switch , which I didn't know I had, broke off. I've cut the wires and bypassed it so it starts but I'm afraid I may fry the ECU.
I'm gonna take to an auto electrician after the holidays and I don't plan to drive it much but I'm worried about causing some permanent damage to the ECU, fuel pump or anything expensive like that.
Any thoughts or opinions on this matter would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks and hope you all have a great new year
Are you talking about the 16 button code feature disable? If you already jumpered the wires on the little black box with the green plugs it should be fine. I woudn;t stress over it causing any damage, when the code is input it simply closes the circuit you bypassed.
Also I'm pretty sere it isn't a BMW immobiliser but there is an old phone number from the company that put it in, however it doesn't look like a current number (only 7 digits)
Anyway I'm pretty sure it will be O.K but I still want an auto electrician to look at it... just look at it though those guys charge like a wounded bull.
That sounds like a aftermarket alarm bro.
yeah the question now is do I just buy a proper housing and finish the connection properly or get an auto electrician to put a proper switch and re-activate the immobilser.
I'm leaning towards the first option.. I mean if I was able to bypass the immobiliser a car theif could easily do the same, plus as much as I love my E30, it's not the type of car it would be taken by a joy riding car thief.
By-pass the imob (which sounds aftermakrket) but keep the tell-tale on the dash. You are very unlikely to have damaged anything as the car runs.
Thanks mate but now I keep hearing this noise that wasn't there before... in paranoid head I could swear it's coming from the petrol pump but I will investigate this weekend.
After I swapped my dash and killed my immobiliser , which I didn't know I had, I called the NRMA (AAA) and the guy first thought it was the fuel pump so he bang the bottom of the fuel tank.... me thinks he's dislodged all the crap from the bottom of the tank and is slowly but surely clogging up my pump.... I will try to fill my car with premium fuel and maybe add some kind of injector cleaner to see if it fixes it... But I also swap the interior, back seat included so maybe the new seat is not as sound proof as the old one ... but i think that's wishful thinking.
Steer clear of 'injector cleaners' - they don't. Get brave and pull the pump and look in the tank. Fit what you find. New fuel filter and check fuel rail pressure.
Thanks for the response mate, I've changes the fuel filter and I'm waiting for the petrol cycle to start again, petrol is up to 20c a litre cheaper,to fill the engine with the good stuff but I'm not sure about pulling the pump out yet... I'm only a new at the DIY business hahahahaha

It's really too bad the first pitch of this route is "bracketed" by bolts. Hotshot's first pitch is what, 3 feet to the left? Nice. Slingwalker should have served as the approach pitch to the upper pitches of Hotshot, which is off to the left.
As a result, the first pitch of Slingwalker, which existed before its neighbors, is somewhat lost in obscurity. As in, "oh there's a bolt, I better not go that way. Oh there's another bolt, can't head that way either". Now, what was once a line that was thought provoking and followed natural weaknesses, ricochets back and forth between bolts.
We climbed Quickdraw McGraw on Wheeler Wall and it suffers this fate as well. However, that act was at least performed by the first ascentionist.
Crossing and crowding routes...bad form.

Lets see the line I want to do is a trad line. Bolts to the left and bolts to the right? I know I'll climb between them and place gear and sling heads on the way. Damn that WAS hard to figure out!
You had better stay away from the Stronghold and the Druid if bolt lines around old existing trad lines gets your panties in a bunch.
Plenty of moderate trad lines with no bolt encroachment on Rap Rock also.
Luke Slingwalker is a fun climb but hardly a classic to be revered.

Hey Jimbo,
Yep, truly a shame at the Druid and some parts of the Stronghold. I'd rather not think about it as it makes me sick. We really need to ask ourselves before we drill, "does this route add to the quality of the crag, or is there a different reason I'm tempted to begin drilling". I'd say most serial drillers have other reasons in mind.
But we've been through all this before and what's done is done. No use getting upset over it again. I'll try my best to forget about it.
I did enjoy Slingwalker and recommend it. Just remember to find the Hotshot anchors to rap from the top. Not the older, more obvious bolts. Both descend to the west but you are looking for the new ones just a bit more north of the old, seasoned ones that are more obvious.

The first ascentionist's (Gary Gray, RIP---8/19/91) mom just wrote a book about Gary's death.
Gary died in the North Cascades on the North West Couloir of Mt. Shuksan from a serac.
Roaring Mountain, Shirley Gray 2012.
I believe the route was put up in 1983.
By Paul Davidson
Oct 17, 2012
Thanks for that note Scott.
Had to order the book from Amazon.
Gary was a great guy and a fine asset to the Tucson scene of the '80s. I believe he did a bit of work with the Summit Hut under the counter guide, some of which helped JS with his later work.
He and Doug did a number of fine back country adventures together. My last time I saw him was on one of his trips through NM and we had an awesome full on Tele powder day up in Santa Fe in about '90. It was snowing so hard that every run was fresh tracks. Good memory of a lost friend.
FYI, for the FA info, Gary's last name is Gray, not Grey.

How Much Does Ground Turkey Cost?
Ground turkey is popular since it is considered to be a healthier alternative for hamburger and other meat. According to the National Turkey Federation, ground turkey is "manufactured from whole muscle material such as the drumstick, thighs, neck, etc., with all components, such as skin and adhering fat, in natural proportions." The producers of ground turkey agree that the fat content is either at or below the natural content in turkey meat. Because of these regulations and the natural makeup, turkey is a leaner meat.
"Ground turkey" (CC BY 2.0) by cote
How much does it cost?
- Depending on the quality of the meat, most stores are going to charge anywhere from $2 to as much as $8 per pound. The leaner it is, the more you are going to have to pay. Most find themselves paying around $2 to $5 per pound at their local stores.
- For instance, fresh extra lean ground turkey by Jennie-O turkey costs $6.07 per pound. It could cost you around $7.59 per package.
- On a forum thread on Stretcher.com, users claimed that they have paid anywhere from $3 to as much as $7 per pound.
What is going to be included?
- Ground turkey is a mixture of light and dark turkey meat that is removed from the bone and minced together with the existing skin and fat. Most of this meat is taken from the thigh or drumstick rather than the breast area.
- Ground turkey is often sold by the pound. It usually comes in airtight sealed packages and is found in the meat section of any supermarket.
- Some ground turkey meat is sold in rolls. These rolls weigh about 16 ounces each.
- Turkey meat is also available in bulk. A roll of bulk ground turkey can weigh around 10 pounds.
What are the extra costs?
- If you buy your ground turkey online. you will more than likely have to pay for shipping. Because this is a perishable product, the shipping will probably be slightly higher than it is on other products.
- If you need finely ground turkey meat, you may be asked for a different price compared to regular ground turkey.
Factors that influence the price:
- Producer of Ground Turkey. The price of ground turkey will certainly depend on the producer of the ground turkey. If the producer still comes from an isolated area or any place far from you, your ground turkey will already cost high when it reaches you.
- Type of Breed of Turkey. Different breeds of turkey will yield different quality of turkey meat. The best types of turkey are those that produce the leanest meat. The leaner the ground turkey, the better the meat is and the higher the price it will have.
- Weight of the Ground Turkey. Some ground turkey only comes in very small packages while others come in larger ones. The heavier the ground turkey is per pack, the higher the cost it will have. However, bulk packages will usually cost less per pound.
- Demand. The prices of turkey meat can fluctuate due to changes in the market and customer demand.
Tips to know:
- There are different types of turkey and they often produce different levels of quality in terms of the fat and the meat ratio.
- If you want to get the healthiest benefit from your ground turkey, make sure that you get the extra lean pack. Usually, this will be noted on the package somewhere.
- If you are more concerned about the price rather than the health benefit you would get from ground turkey, then it would be alright to choose ground turkey with a little more fat. However, it is still important to pay attention to the fat percentage.
- Ground turkey can be used to make anything that can be made with ground beef. It can be used to make hamburgers, spaghetti sauce, tacos, etc.
How can I save money?
- If you buy ground turkey in bulk, it can bring the price down by the pound. Ground turkey can be frozen for months and the taste and quality will not be affected.
- Like any meat in the grocery store, keep your eyes peeled for sales. If the price is good enough, this could be the time to stock up. Anything less than $2 to $3 per pound is deemed a good deal.
- Also keep your eyes in the clearance section. If the meat is about to go bad, many stores will knock a certain percentage off. As long as you freeze it or use it right away, there should not be a problem with it.

How much did you spend?
- Brittney (Springfield, Illinois) paid $ and said:

Was it worth it? Yes

Sotheby's puts itself up for sale
Sotheby's and its disgraced former chairman Alfred Taubman are trying to sell his majority stake in the auction house or find a merger partner.
The new chairman, Michael Sovern, said in a statement that Sotheby's was working closely with Mr Taubman and his advisers to ensure a smooth transition to new ownership or control.
The New York auction house also said it expects operating profits to rebound this year, after surprisingly strong sales in spring.
Mr Taubman owns about 13.2m Sotheby's shares, which represents a voting majority of about 62.9%, according to documents he filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday.
In April, he was sentenced to a year and a day in prison and fined $7.5m (£5.1m) for his role in a price-fixing conspiracy that shook the art world.
Mr Taubman, who is in his late 70s, is appealing against the conviction.
He is going to work with Sotheby's to explore a possible sale or merger of the company, and has agreed not enter into an agreement to sell his shares for a period of 90 days without its consent.
Art sales
"Sotheby's is now poised for growth and well positioned for new ownership," Mr Sovern said.
The company said its alliance with eBay Inc., the leading online auction company, is on track to begin in early summer and is expected to significantly strengthen Sotheby's Internet business.
Sotheby's also said it sold over $200 million of impressionist, modern and contemporary art in a two-week sale in May.
Sotheby's and Christie's allegedly fixed commissions between 1993 and 1999 to boost profits during a downturn in the art world.
The scandal resulted in an unprecedented $512 million settlement with clients to be shared by the two houses.

TOP STORY >>Water projects would help area
Leader staff writer
This area will get plenty of water from three lakes in the near future: Lake Maumelle, Greers Ferry Lake and Lake Winona in Saline County.
The cities and water associations in central Arkansas that share a 15 million-gallon-a-day water allocation from Greers Ferry Lake are considering banding together to build the long talked- about Lonoke White Water Project.
To build the project would require all the separate utilities coming together as a consolidated waterworks system.
In addition to the current members of the Lonoke-White Public Water Authority, which includes Cabot, Lonoke, Ward, Grand Prairie Water Association and Bayou Two Water Association, the membership would likely include Jacksonville, Conway Corporation, Conway County Regional Water Distribution District, Central Arkansas Water and Community Water System, which once controlled the project.
The Lonoke-White Project got its start about 15 years ago, when Community Water System, which operated around Greers Ferry Lake, decided to increase its customer base by supplying water to cities like Cabot and Beebe, which pulled out early but has since rejoined. Back then, grants were supposed to pay for part of the project while loans would pay for the balance. Community Water was to own the system, but the debt was to be repaid by revenue from the new customers who were to have been under exclusive contracts with Community Water.
When the grant money dried up and Cabot pulled out in favor of buying surface water from Central Arkansas Water, the project faltered.
Those who were left said the rates Community Water would have to charge to pay the debt were higher than they had contracted to pay.
Eventually Grand Prairie and Bayou Two sued Community Water for control of the project which they maintained belonged to its members, not Community Water. The case was settled this year with Lonoke-White members owning the right-of-way for a water line and a share of the intake site at Cove Creek.
Now, the project members must find investors and build the project within 11 years or ownership of the intake site reverts to Community Water. The cost of the project has been estimated at $60 million to $100 million depending upon the number of participants.
Grand Prairie Water Association, which sells Ward some of the water for its customers, is also working against another deadline.
That utility was granted an increase until 2027 in the amount of water pulled from its wells from 1.4 million gallons a day to 2.4 million gallons a day.
Terry House, Grand Prairie general manager, said Arkansas Natural Resources Commission, which has regulatory authority over ground water, is serious about preserving that resource. Cities and water associations have no choice about finding surface water, he said, and the more participants in the LonokeWhite Project, the less it will cost water customers.
All of us are going to have to ante up some money, House said. And its cheaper now than it will be later.
Right now no one is being excluded because we all need the water, he said.
Meanwhile, Cabot, Jacksonville and North Pulaski Waterworks are working with Central Arkansas Water on a project that will cost $43 million to bring water from Lake Maumelle and Lake Winona to Gravel Ridge where it will be disbursed to their systems.
From Gravel Ridge, Cabot will then run lines capable of carrying 9 million gallons of that water a day to its system at a cost of $11.3 million more.
Although the connection to Central Arkansas Water is expected to suffice until 2050, a line from Greers Ferry Lake would be a backup for the line from Central Arkansas Water.
Cabot and Jacksonville have allocations of 1.5 million gallons a day each at Greers Ferry Lake compared to the .9 million gallons a day set aside for Lonoke, Ward, North Pulaski, Grand Prarie and Bayou Two. Conway Corp. and Conway County Regional Water Distribution District each received half of the remaining 7.5 million gallons-a-day allocation.
When the LonokeWhite Project will be built is not known. The members try to meet once a month to discuss the project and House said he is optimistic that some progress will be made within two years.
Ward Mayor Art Brooke, president of the group and host of the monthly meetings in Ward, said this week that he is more hopeful about the project than he has been in the past because of the cooperation he sees among various entities that need the water.
The greater numbers we have the better off we are, Brooke said. We want everything to be affordable. If we did the project with just LonokeWhite members, we know the cost would be too high.

Brown and Warren Court Big-Name Endorsements
Saturday, October 20, 2012
Endorsements Pile Up
Warren secured the backing of President Barack Obama, Republican and former FDIC Chairperson Sheila Bair and Minnesota Senator Al Franken, as well as Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke who gained public notice earlier this year when House Republicans barred her from testifying at a hearing on access to contraception.
"I have never endorsed a Democrat, but I know Elizabeth well, and I know she will be independent. We need people who are independent in Washington, people who will vote the public interest," said Bair.
Franken was scheduled to spend Friday and Saturday on the campaign trail with Warren, making stops around the state in Lexington, Cambridge, Worcester, Springfield and Southbridge.
Arizona Senator John McCain, who formally endorsed Brown last month, with join the Massachusetts Republican for a rally in Melrose on Saturday.
"Scott understands the challenges we face, and he has the experience, wisdom and the temperament to influence the choices our nation makes," he said in a statement.
The Brown campaign also rolled out a new web video featuring former Republican Governor of Massachusetts Paul Cellucci.
"I see Scott as what I call a Weld-Cellucci Republican: someone who is moderate on social issues, conservative on fiscal issues, but always willing to work with Republicans and Democrats to find solutions for problems that are facing our country," Cellucci said.
"And that's exactly what we need in the United States Senate from Massachusetts. In fact, I would say we need more people, desperately need more people, like Scott Brown in the Congress of the United States where it gets more polarized each year - Republicans always voting Republican, the Democrats always voting Democratic."
Getting a Boost
The value of such endorsements can vary based on who the candidate is and who is endorsing them, said Morgan Marietta, an assistant professor of Political Science at UMass-Lowell.
"The less known a candidate is and the more known the endorser is, the more effective it can be," he said.
"Expected endorsements like President Obama's of Warren are less influential than unexpected ones coming from across party lines."
Brown has kept his distance from the national Republican party, which limits the range of big names in the GOP he can bring in.
"It is no coincidence that Brown is gravitating to John McCain, who is also known for the kind of bi-partisan cooperation that is a centerpiece of Brown's campaign," said Marietta.
Meanwhile, Warren has embraced the national stage and party and has picked up support from Washington to the Midwest.
But Karyn Polito, a former Republican state representative from Shrewsbury and 2010 candidate for state treasurer, released a statement on Friday criticizing Warren's decision to campaign with Franken, who she called a "walking poster-boy for misogyny" for the Saturday Night Live alum's lewd humor.
"Elizabeth Warren needs to use this occasion to make it clear to Al Franken that his comments are out of line and not funny at all," she said.
Rallying the Base, But Undecideds Still Out
"The Sheila Bair event was an interesting idea; it seemed like Warren's attempt to play Brown's game and show that she, too, could get support from the other party," he said.
"But I think it's too late in the race to make a real difference, and Sheila Bair isn't really a household name."
With less than three weeks to Election Day, high-profile endorsements from across the aisle are the only ones likely to have much of an effect on the highly-contested race, said Jennifer Lawless, director of the Women & Politics Institute at American University.
"A prominent Democrat endorsing Brown, for example, could matter. But general run of the mill endorsements do litle other than energize the base."

Architects work on look for upgraded Penn-Trafford High school
Renovations at Penn-Trafford High School could begin in May 2014.
But for now, architects and a construction firm are working on designs for the project that will consist mainly of piping, wiring and duct work.
"There's not a whole lot of glitz," said Daniel Kiefer, preconstruction director with Massaro Construction Management Services in Pittsburgh. "It's a lot of important things, but it's a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff."
Kiefer and principal architect Hank Tkacik with Axis Architecture in North Huntingdon presented the school board and officials with a tentative timeline Monday night for the proposed renovations. The high school was built in 1972 and renovated in 1996.
Directors approved in November the borrowing of $9.5 million to put toward what could be a $30 million project at the high school.
Kiefer and Tkacik said they have monthly meetings with district administrators to keep up with the tentative timeline and create a design that meets the district's needs. Tkacik said the renovations would take about two years.
Community input has played a big role in the design phase, which is ongoing, he said.
Superintendent Thomas Butler said he is pleased with the progress thus far.
"Once it's more definite, we'll set up a time to have (the public) come in" and look at the plans, he said.
The proposed timeline showed that a project budget could be developed in July and contracts for renovations could be awarded in April 2014.
The board approved two matters Monday in relation to the proposed renovations.
"What we're going to start seeing on a monthly basis is now expenses related to the high school renovation project," said Brett Lago, district director of financial planning.
An $86,250 payment to Axis Architecture was approved. Lago said monthly payments will be due to the firm until the construction phase begins.
A proposal for the surveying and mapping services submitted by Morris Knowles and Associates Inc. of Delmont was approved at a cost of $18,900.

Mars Hill, N.C. – Danny Sanders scored 28 points and P.J. Gore added 24 as Mars Hill drilled Brevard, 95-78, Saturday afternoon at Stanford Arena. With the win, the Lions (12-7, 3-6 South Atlantic Conference) avenge an earlier loss to the Tornados (10-9, 2-7 SAC), 90-80 on January 3.
Sanders (Shelby, N.C.) hit seven of 12 three-point shots en route to his 28 points, while Gore (North Myrtle Beach, S.C.) was 9-16 from the floor in scoring 24. Stoney Polite (Morganton, N.C.) added 14 points for the Lions, who have beaten Brevard five straight times at Stanford Arena. Mars Hill shot 47.9% from the floor and outrebounded Brevard, 39-34.
Cody Siniard (Brevard, N.C.) led the Tornados with a career-high 16 points, including a 3-4 clip from the land of three, while Jonathan Whitson (Clyde, N.C.), wearing a heavy brace on his right knee after spraining the leg Wednesday against Newberry, added 15 points. Darin Dellinger (Stanley, N.C.) scored 15 points of his own, and Shane Galloway (Rosman, N.C.) was 4-6 from downtown and scored a season-high 14 points.
Mars Hill opened the first half by scoring eight straight points, all from Gore, to lead 8-0 at the 17:38 mark. The Tornados got on the board with a jumper from Dellinger at the 17:15 mark, but then the Lions took off on a 13-2 run, including a pair of treys from Sanders, to lead 21-4 with 14:36 left in the half.
After a Polite three-pointer put the Lions up 28-11 at the 11:16 mark, Brevard showed life with a 10-2 run of their own. Andrew Freeman (Asheville, N.C.) capped the spurt with a long-range three to cut the gap to single-digits, 30-21, with 6:56 left in the period.
The momentum was short-lived. Mars Hill came back with seven straight, capped by a Sanders triple, to lead 37-21 with 5:04 on the clock. Another 11-3 run put the Lions up 48-24, 1:45 before halftime. But Brevard ended half with five straight, including a three-pointer from Whitson, to make the score 48-29 at the half.
Mars Hill controlled the second half in much the same fashion as the first. Another Sanders three made the score 68-37 at the 15:06 mark, and a free throw by Jamarl Glen (District Heights, Md.) stretched the lead to its highest point, 76-42, with 11:54 left.
Brevard spent the remaining part of the game whittling the gap to respectability. Galloway hit four consecutive three-point attempts in the final five minutes of the game; the last bomb cut the cap under 20 points, to 94-76, with 2:12 left. That was the last field goal either team would hit, as Mars Hill won, 95-78.
The Tornados were without two key perimeter players. Nathan Whitmire (Rosman, N.C.) is done for the season after breaking his thumb Wednesday against Newberry, while Terrence Johnson (Owensboro, Ky.) sat out with a knee sprain, also sustained Wednesday night.
The loss continues Brevard's road woes in South Atlantic Conference play. Brevard is 0-4 against SAC teams away from Boshamer Gymnasium, losing by an average margin of 17 points per game.
Brevard returns to action Wednesday when they host Lenoir-Rhyne. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. Mars Hill travels to Newberry College, also on Wednesday, for an 8 p.m. game.

Just imagine hanging this print in your office! Haha! That would start some conversation! No?
Here's a fascinating verse for you:
"to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself deceitful" (Psalm 18:26).
Oh the wealth that could be drawn from that sentence alone! The wise writer knew a fundamental truth: there is a direct correlation between your condition and your conception of your god. Have you thought about the possibility that your ideas about your god are a projection of your own state of mind?
This is why so many people in authority feel sanctioned to manipulate, control and even abuse people. They wouldn't call it that. They would say that they persuade, guide and discipline people.
Did you know you can make offers on my original art?

The family connections don't stop there with brothers Billy and Mako Vunipola also included in the squad.
While the squad will get together at training camps throughout the autumn before getting their first taste of action in the Under-20 RBS 6 Nations in 2011.
And Hunter admits he can't wait to see his young charges in action.
"It's a very talented group, competition for places has been very high and there are some good players who missed out on a place in the 32 who will continue to push for inclusion. Within the squad there's a great blend of skill, pace and power and we can't wait to see them wearing the England jersey.
"It's an exciting time to be involved with a new management team and a new squad coming together. The England Under 18 team has set a standard of playing at pace in recent years and we are looking forward to building on that and the excellent work being done in the regional academies.
"The England age group programmes are a key part of developing future international players and the progress made by the likes of Courtney Lawes and Ben Youngs into the England senior team last season is testimony to that."

This dividend is payable on April 17, 2013 with a record date for determining dividend entitlements of March 13, 2013. Intent to pursue separation of entertainment and publishing businesses On June 28, 2012, News Corporation announced that it intends to pursue the separation of its publishing and its media and entertainment businesses into two distinct publicly traded companies. The global publishing company that would be created through the proposed transaction would consist of the Company's publishing businesses, its education division and other Australian assets. The global media and entertainment company would consist of the Company's cable and television assets, filmed entertainment, and direct satellite broadcasting businesses. Following the separation, each company would maintain two classes of common stock: Class A Common and Class B Common Voting Shares. The separation is expected to be completed in approximately one year from the date of announcement. In addition to final approval from the Board of Directors and stockholder approval of certain amendments to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the completion of the separation will be subject to receipt of regulatory approvals, opinions from tax counsel and favorable rulings from certain tax jurisdictions regarding the tax-free nature of the transaction to the Company and to its stockholders, further due diligence as appropriate, the execution of certain agreements relating to the distribution, and the filing and effectiveness of appropriate filings with the SEC. On December 21, 2012, New Newscorp LLC filed an initial Form 10 registration statement and News Corporation filed a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the separation. The Company has also applied for certain regulatory approvals and tax rulings required to enable the separation to be completed as described. There can be no assurances given that the separation of the Company's businesses as described will occur.

Mumbai: The newlywed Vivek Oberoi took some time off and managed to prepare a perfect moment for his wife. The two enjoyed Valentine's Day alone, in their first lover's holiday as a married couple. Vivek and Priyanka celebrated their day in Kerala, at a very romantic, candle light dinner, at night, on the beach by the ocean. Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it?
Not really. The two really did enjoy their first Valentine's Day together, and appear to be just as happy as they can get. And how could the actor not shout out his love to the entire world? Or, in this case, post it on Twitter.
He shared with his fans that he has taken his wife away from their everyday routine. He was a bit nervous about the special night, considering it was their first and he wanted to make it really special. The two seem to be very much in love and seem to be enjoying each other's company greatly. On Monday morning, they were both in Thiruvananthapuram, as he was the special guest of the premiere of the film "Given A Chance".

Many Democrats have long assumed that issue would be health care. After all, at this point in 1999, Al Gore and Bill Bradley were bitterly scrapping over their rival plans to provide almost all Americans with some form of health insurance. The one-issue focus during the 2000 primary campaign became so intense that it seemed that only tenured health care analysts at major universities could decipher the back-and-forth between Gore and Bradley.
So this year, all the major candidates rushed to roll out health care plans and prepared to argue over which plan would provide the most coverage for the uninsured at the lowest cost. (This generalization, of course, excludes Wesley Clark, who is rushing to fill in the "domestic policy" pages on his résumé.) But instead of welcoming a battle over arcane points of health care economics, most Democrats have not shown passionate interest in sorting out the differences among rival plans.
As Iowa Democratic Party Chairman Gordon Fischer said over coffee Thursday morning, "You would think that there would have been more distinctions drawn on health care. But there is unanimity among the candidates that there has to be a big push for universal or near-universal health care coverage. As a result, voters figure: 'Now that's over with, let's get on to other issues.' "
Fischer's analysis was influenced by the surprisingly vehement exchanges on another domestic issue at a candidate forum Wednesday afternoon in Des Moines. The two-hour discussion, sponsored by the AARP and featuring six of the nine Democratic candidates, might have been expected to center on Medicare and other retirement-related issues.
Instead, the focus was over whether to rescind all the Bush tax cuts (the position taken by Howard Dean and Richard Gephardt) or whether to preserve those tax reductions that benefit the middle class (John Kerry's and John Edwards' stance).
Joe Lieberman, who did not attend the AARP forum, is much closer to the Kerry-Edwards side of the debate, though he places a heavy emphasis on overall tax changes.
Succinctly summarizing Wednesday's four-candidate scrum over tax rates is difficult. Dean expressed the essence of the rescind-everything-that-Bush-passed argument: "I think most people would be very happy to pay the same taxes they paid when Bill Clinton was president, if they could have the same economy." The opposing case for preserving the middle-class tax cuts was made by Edwards: "The last thing that we need to do is to put an additional burden on hard-working middle-class families by raising their taxes."
In dollar terms, this is far from a minor political scrap. The liberal Washington-based Center for Budget and Policy Priorities estimates that the federal government would take in an additional $2.5 trillion from 2005 to 2012 if all the Bush tax cuts were rolled back. The middle-class provisions (the child-care credit, the new 10% tax bracket and the elimination of the marriage penalty) account for about $686 billion of that total. So, in essence, the Democratic presidential candidates are squabbling over this $686 billion, or 27% of the overall Bush tax cuts.
Like most policy disputes during presidential campaigns, the tax fight is as much about political self-definition as it is about fiscal policy. Iowa Democratic political strategist Jeff Link, who is undecided about his preferences in the caucuses Jan. 19, explains, "Howard Dean uses the whole tax issue to say that the other guys from Washington are not telling the truth about the budget. And that's what people are inclined to believe about politicians."
Gephardt has based his campaign on a health care plan that would cost at least $200 billion a year, and he needs the revenue from a complete tax-cut rollback to pay for it. Edwards, on the other hand, is pitching himself as the tribune for the forgotten Middle Americans who will protect their tax cuts. And Kerry, whose views are similar to Edwards, continually emphasizes his sense of political realism in defending those tax cuts that Democrats helped add to the Bush plan.
Even liberal policy analysts admit that there is no right answer on taxes. As Bob Greenstein, the director of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, says, "On one hand, there is some value in a per-child tax credit and the 10% bracket. But by the same taken, we also have a long-term deficit problem."
What the knotty tax issue illustrates is how difficult it is to sort out the Democrats based on domestic issues.
Three months before the caucuses here, the Democratic race looks like it will be decided on the basis of candidates' political personas and, of course, their positions on Iraq.
Correction: In stressing the historical importance of the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary in Wednesday's column, I forgot that Bill Clinton was nominated in 1992 without winning either contest. Of course, Iowa wasn't contested that year because favorite-son Sen. Tom Harkin was running for president.

How to Make Sauerkraut in a Jar
I have a new batch of sauerkraut that will be ready next week, probably Thursday. Easy Peasy method: just shred cabbage on a mandolin, add salt (3 Tbsp per 5 pounds of cabbage), bruise the salted cabbage with your hands and pack it really, really tight into a jar. You want the juice to float above the cabbage at least 1 inch. Place another jar inside to hold the cabbage under the juice…or use giant glass marbles (sterilized of-course). Set it on your counter on a plate with a tea-towel covering. Wait 10 or 12 days and voila, old world "sauerkraut"! Refrigerate to stop fermenting. Will keep in frig up to a month or longer.
You can add Juniper berries to the fermenting cabbage for a real old-world flavor. Once the sauerkraut is ready, cook up some sauerbraten and add to a pot of hot sauerkraut cooked with chunks of apple and a teaspoon of caraway or fennel seeds. Serve with mashed potatoes and homemade Dijon mustard.
To store long-term, heat sauerkraut and its juice in a stainless steel pot just to a boil, pack into hot sterilized jars, seal with lids and rings, water bath in boiling water for 15 minutes. Remove to a draft free area and let cool. Check seal on lids, store in a dry, cool pantry or cupboard for 1 year or longer. Refrigerate any jars that did not seal properly.
If you have questions please enter them in the comment section below. Next up: Homemade Dijon Mustard

8. Simon Hughes (Southwark, North and Bermondsey) (LD): How much the average student loan taken out by students was in each London borough in the 200203 academic year. [154517]
The Secretary of State for Education and Skills (Mr. Charles Clarke): On the basis of information provided by the Student Loans Company, the provisional average income-contingent student loan taken out by full-time students in the London borough of Southwark in the 200203 academic year was £3,900. I will write to the hon. Gentleman giving the average loan figures for other London boroughs, and place a copy of such information in the Library.
Simon Hughes : I am grateful to the Secretary of State for that reply. Those figuresand figures given by his right hon. Friend the Minister for Lifelong Learning, Further and Higher Education for last year for the whole regionshow that students who are resident in inner-London graduate with a much higher level of debt than those living anywhere else, and that outer-London students are placed third in the league table. What will he do, therefore, to ensure that his current policy, with top-up fees included, does not inevitably result in students who live in London graduating with higher debt than those who live elsewhere? That would inevitably prove a disincentive to students' coming to, and staying at, universities in the capital.
Mr. Clarke: First, as I announced in the debate about this, the level of maintenance loans for students in London will be increased significantly. One of the main reasons why they get into debt now is the fact that they have to borrow to live, because their maintenance loans are insufficient to meet their costs. We are dealing with that, and what we are doing will make a very positive difference.
Secondly, the decision to abolish the up-front fee means that students will no longer have to borrow money on plastic, for instance, to pay a fee that, for whatever reason, their parents would not pay. That has been happening in many homes in London.
Both those moves represent a significant improvement for students in London.
Kali Mountford (Colne Valley) (Lab): People such as my constituents who want an education in London are not supported by their families in the same way as many who already live in London. Is it not important for loans and fees combined to reflect the actual cost of the education that they want? My right hon. Friend mentioned credit cards. The average cost of a credit card this Christmas was £6,500. The rate of repayment is what matters, and students should be made aware of the benefits of an interest-free, affordable rate.
Mr. Clarke: My hon. Friend is entirely right. First, we have addressed the up-front fee question. People have been getting into debt because it has not been addressed properly until now. Secondly, we have addressed the problem of the maintenance loan in London, thus reducing the pressure on those living there while receiving their education. Thirdly, as my hon. Friend pointed out, repayments after graduation will be made at a zero real rate of interest and through the tax system. That is a major improvement, at each stage, on the current state of affairs.
Mr. Tim Yeo (South Suffolk) (Con): Now that it is clear that the next generation of students will be
Mr. Clarke: What an extraordinary question. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman should spend a bit more time on his health or golfing responsibilities.
The fact is that there will be upwards of £1 billion of extra money coming into universities. Do not ask me; ask Universities UK, and ask every vice-chancellor. Vice-chancellors are telling Conservative Members, just as they are telling Labour Members, that they should support the Higher Education Bill because they know that the extra resource will make a difference to their universities. What must be borne in mindand we will point this out every day between now and the next general electionis that the vote of the hon. Gentleman and his colleagues in the House the other day was a vote to take money away from universities and to damage them. We will not forget it; the country will not forget it.
9. Norman Lamb (North Norfolk) (LD): If he will make a statement on the children's fund. [154518]
The Minister for Children (Margaret Hodge): The children's fund was allocated £450 million in the 2002 spending review. By September 2003, 302,000 children and families were using the services provided by the fund. However, efforts to ensure that all allocations were spent have resulted in a projected overspend. Reductions were therefore made in allocations for 200304 onwards.
Following my discussions with key stakeholders, we have taken action from 200304 to address the most difficult problems, and I am now urgently re-examining the allocations for next year. I expect to write to partnerships in the next few days.
Norman Lamb: I thank the Minister for that response, but how does she respond to the real anger and frustration felt locally at the far too late announcement of cuts to next year's funding allocation, which puts at risk the important work of groups such as Asperger Norfolk? Representatives of that organisation wrote to me expressing its dismay at the Government's announcementit may result not only in jeopardising important work for children, but in redundanciesand the fact that it was made at such a late stage in the planning process for next year. Yesterday the Prime Minister confirmed that work was ongoing, so can the Minister offer any help to local groups and would she be prepared to meet a local delegation to hear directly about their concerns?
Margaret Hodge: I certainly understand the concerns expressed by Asperger NorfolkI received a copy of a
Ms Sally Keeble (Northampton, North) (Lab): I accept the problems created for the programme by the underspend, but would my hon. Friend accept that, now the projects are under way and are spending up to profile, cuts that represent a quite small amount of overall Government spending will have profound implications for the ability of some of the projects to continue and to serve some extremely vulnerable children? The work is highly valued locally and many people are anxious to see it continue.
Margaret Hodge: Again, I am aware of problems in my hon. Friend's constituency, not least because she has talked to me about them. The projects are extremely important in providing a valuable contribution to the infrastructure and they are helping us to reach young people who could not be reached in other ways, thus preventing things from going wrong. That is precisely why I am having urgent discussions to see what we can do to help, and I hope to be able to write and inform the relevant authorities over the next few days.
Charles Hendry (Wealden) (Con): The Minister will recall the Chancellor saying:
Margaret Hodge: I am in constant communication with all the national organisations. Indeed, just this morning I had a conversation with one of the national charities that is responsible for running several partnerships in the country. Although I understand and applaud the hon. Gentleman's current commitment to the role of the voluntary sector, it is rather sad to note that he was among the Members who opposed the Budget, which enabled the Chancellor to provide the moneys to set up the fund, which has been so successful. However, I accept that there are lessons that the
