Primary sets up tight fall legislative contests
Photo Credit: Shutterstock
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A low-turnout, low-interest primary election Tuesday has the potential to set up several intriguing legislative contests in the fall, when Democrats will be trying to maintain their two-thirds majorities in the Assembly and Senate.
While the parties will be focused on gaining or holding seats, some of the more intriguing story lines emerging from the primary involve intraparty races.
In a Sacramento state Senate district, two Democratic members of the Assembly, Roger Dickinson and Richard Pan, are preparing for an expensive general election battle as both seek the Senate District 6 seat held by termed-out President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg.
Another Sacramento-area same-party runoff was shaping up in Assembly District 9 between Democrats Jim Cooper, an Elk Grove City Council member, and Sacramento City Councilman Darrell Fong.
In Senate District 10 in Alameda and Santa Clara counties, the question was whether voters would forgive former Democratic Assemblywoman Mary Hayashi for shoplifting nearly $2,500 worth of clothing from Neiman Marcus in 2011. Among her four opponents is Democratic Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski, who was leading in early returns. Hayashi was trailing GOP candidate Peter Kuo, despite the district's low Republican registration.
The state's new primary system means the top two vote-getters in each race will advance to the November election, no matter if they are from the same political party.
In something of a twist, Democratically aligned interest groups were trying to prevent that from happening in an old-fashioned business vs. labor battle involving two Democrats in Assembly District 16 in Alameda and Contra Costa counties.
Labor organized against Steve Glazer, an Orinda city councilman and longtime adviser to Gov. Jerry Brown, because he worked on a California Chamber of Commerce independent expenditure committee in two key Assembly races in 2012.
Republican Catherine Baker was leading that race in early returns, with Glazer trailing union activist and Dublin Mayor Tim Sbranti for the second position.
Competing allegations also flew between two Republicans running in a six-candidate field for a new Riverside County seat in Senate District 28. County Supervisor Jeff Stone was slightly outpacing the others, including former lawmaker Bonnie Garcia, who was termed out of the Assembly in 2008.
Garcia was the first Puerto Rican elected to the Legislature and gained national notoriety when former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger called her a "very hot" Latina for her temperament, a comment she actually embraced. But she was in danger of being knocked out of the November runoff, as three other Republicans were splitting the GOP vote.
Meanwhile, Democratic Assemblyman Steve Fox was fighting to retain the Assembly District 36 seat he won by just 145 votes in Los Angeles County's Antelope Valley two years ago. Fox was in the No. 2 position behind Republican Tom Lackey in the five-way race.
The primary also set up November general election contests in two cornerstone Senate districts that are likely to determine if Democrats regain their supermajorities, and with them the unilateral power to raise taxes, pass emergency legislation, put measures on the ballot and override gubernatorial vetoes.
Democrats have a supermajority in the Assembly but lost it in the Senate after three Democrats entangled in serious legal problems were suspended.
Former Democratic Assemblyman Jose Solorio and Orange County Supervisor Janet Nguyen, a Republican, were on track to advance in Senate District 34.
Republicans also are counting on Sen. Andy Vidak to repeat his victory in the Democratic-leaning Senate District 14 in the San Joaquin Valley, which includes Fresno and Bakersfield. He and Democratic challenger Luis Chavez were set to advance.
The Democrats' challenge in the Senate is complicated by two significant shifts as election maps were redrawn by an independent commission after the 2010 census. Republicans are favored to pick up a newly drawn seat in Riverside County, while Democrats will lose a corresponding district currently held by Sen. Leland Yee of San Francisco, who was suspended after being charged in a federal corruption and gun-running investigation.
Democrats nominally hold 28 seats in the 40-member Senate, but the suspension of Yee, Sen. Ronald Calderon of Montebello and Sen. Roderick Wright of Los Angeles County dropped them below the 27 votes they need for a working supermajority.
Democrats currently hold 55 seats in the 80-member Assembly compared to Republicans' 25. The majority party needs 54 to maintain a supermajority.
An added wrinkle is that write-in candidates were certified to run in 18 legislative races, including 14 in which they could qualify with a single vote to run in the fall campaign without going through the normal primary process.

My approach to food prepping on the weekends has evolved a bit so I decided to give you guys some insight as to how my diet has changed recently.
Over the last few months I've phased out most gluten and dairy products. I decided to go 'gluten light' after being diagnosed with Hashimoto's and reading more on the strong negative relationship between my thyroid disorder and gluten. Also, my Dad has celiacs so there's an increased chance I have a sensitivity to gluten. The primary reason though is that I feel better without it. Same goes for dairy. Over 10 years ago I was diagnosed with IBS after numerous trips to the doctors office and ER with extreme stomach pains. I rarely have any IBS issues anymore but when I do they are usually triggered by foods rich in dairy and gluten (most pasta dishes = me wishing for death.)
I also try to eat foods that are as nutritionally dense as possible and pasta falls pretty low on the list. 1 cup of spaghetti noodles is about 200 calories and 1 cup of sweet potato is slightly less (180) but has significantly more vitamins and minerals. I will still have the occasional piece of bread or dessert but almost all the food I make/eat at home is GF.
With dairy, I will occasionally buy a tub of cottage cheese or greek yogurt to have as my afternoon snack for the week but that's about the extent of my dairy consumption. I stay away from cheese as it's a definite IBS trigger!
So - what do my meals look like then? Now that I'm marathon training my diet went from about 60% vegetables to 60% carbs! Here's my menu for this week:
Breakfast: always my favorite PB2 Oatmeal with Chia seeds
Snack 1: Protein Bar
Lunch: one of the best recipes I've ever made, ever. If you like Indian food you need to make this Curried Chickpea Soup immediately. I followed the directions except for adding a little less olive oil (about 1/2 T.) and it made 6 cups and came in at 1200 calories for the batch. I'm planning to reheat a cup at work and put it over a bed of spinach to make it more of a salad, and because I'm a volume eater it will fill me up better & get some greens in.
I actually called my Mom as soon as I was done making it to tell her how good it was.
Snack 2: Cottage cheese with Pineapple
Dinner: White bean pizza with garlic green beans
This was my first time using Udi's GF pizza crust and I thought it tasted just like a regular crust. Each slice (1/4 of the pizza) is about 200 calories and has a nice amount of protein thanks to the beans. It was a tad bland but I'm definitely making it again and just adding some more spices to the bean mix and probably some olives, onions and peppers as toppings.
Snack 3: Apple, PB2 and either macadamia nuts or GF carby something (animal crackers are a favorite right now!)
So - that's what my tummy's enjoying lately. My appetite has gone back to normal after eating ALL the foods the first month of training. I'm also trying to find meals that are quick to prep on Sundays. Before I started working at the hospital I had much more free time and didn't mind spending a few hours on Sunday cooking. Now - that's cutting into my extremely limited R & R time so I aim to spend a max of 1 hour cooking. These two meals were perfect as I could work on them at the same time, and my veggie side for the week was as easy as opening up a few cans of green beans and adding some seasoning to them.
What are some of your favorite 'quickie' recipes?
If you have any GF/Vegan-ish meal ideas please share!

President Barack Obama likes Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky and Villanova to reach the men's basketball Final Four, and ESPN will reveal his full brackets at noon ET on Wednesday.
Obama also filled out a bracket for ESPN last year, and correctly predicted North Carolina's championship. This year, in the interest of equal time, he also will make his women's bracket public.
His choices for the women's Final Four are Connecticut, Notre Dame, Stanford and Tennessee, according to the website.
ESPN college basketball analysts Andy Katz and Doris Burke were spotted at the White House Tuesday.

Social rejection
Social rejection occurs when an individual is deliberately excluded from a social relationship or social interaction. The topic includes both interpersonal rejection (or peer rejection) and romantic rejection. A person can be rejected on an individual basis or by an entire group of people. Furthermore, rejection can be either active, by bullying, teasing, or ridiculing, or passive, by ignoring a person, or giving the "silent treatment." The experience of being rejected is subjective for the recipient, and it can be perceived when it is not actually present.
Although humans are social beings, some level of rejection is an inevitable part of life. Nevertheless, rejection can become a problem when it is prolonged or consistent, when the relationship is important, or when the individual is highly sensitive to rejection. Rejection by an entire group of people can have especially negative effects, particularly when it results in social isolation.
The experience of rejection can lead to a number of adverse psychological consequences such as loneliness, low self-esteem, aggression, and depression. It can also lead to feelings of insecurity and a heightened sensitivity to future rejection.
Need for acceptance
Rejection is emotionally painful because of the social nature of human beings and our basic need to be accepted in groups. Abraham Maslow and other theorists have suggested that the need for love and belongingness is a fundamental human motivation. According to Maslow, all humans, even introverts, need to be able to give and receive affection to be psychologically healthy.
Psychologists believe that simple contact or social interaction with others is not enough to fulfill this need. Instead, people have a strong motivational drive to form and maintain caring interpersonal relationships. People need both stable relationships and satisfying interactions with the people in those relationships. If either of these two ingredients is missing, people will begin to feel lonely and unhappy. Thus, rejection is a significant threat. In fact, the majority of human anxieties appear to reflect concerns over social exclusion.
Being a member of a group is also important for social identity, which is a key component of the self-concept. Mark Leary of Wake Forest University has suggested that the main purpose of self-esteem is to monitor social relations and detect social rejection. In this view, self-esteem is a sociometer which activates negative emotions when signs of exclusion appear.
Social psychological research confirms the motivational basis of the need for acceptance. Specifically, fear of rejection leads to conformity to peer pressure (sometimes called normative influence), and compliance to the demands of others. Our need for affiliation and social interaction appears to be particularly strong when we are under stress.

The Massachusetts Bar Association and Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly co-sponsored "Excellence in the Law" on Thursday, Feb. 1 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Westin, Boston Waterfront. This year's event honorees included:
MBA President Mark D Mason presented the Daniel F. Toomey Excellence in the Judiciary Award to the Hon. Edward M. Ginsburg and the MBA Excellence in Legal Journalism Award to Jim Braude.
Mason described Ginsburg as "an icon in probate and family law and our profession as a whole" who has "redefined retirement for a judge." Ginsburg founded the Senior Partners for Justice, an organization that has enlisted more than 200 volunteer attorneys to represent clients who would otherwise be pro se litigants. Before his appointment to the judiciary, Ginsburg was a private practice attorney for almost 20 years. He is also an adjunct professor at Boston College and Suffolk Univeristy Law Schools, serves on the Lawyers Weekly board of editors, sits on the educational committee of the Flaschner Institute and remains an active MBA member, even in his retirement.
Jim Braude currently hosts "NewsNight" on New England Cable News; however, he began his career as a legal services lawyer in New York's South Bronx representing low-income people in housing and prisoners' rights matters. He was the founder and first president of the National Organization of Legal Services Workers, a union representing staff in more than 30 states. Upon moving to Boston, he served on the board of the Mass. Law Reform Institute and the MBA's Delivery of Legal Services (currently Access to Justice) Section Council. "[Jim] informs and challenges his viewers to expand their thinking and analysis of current events," Mason remarked. "Jim's footprint in the Boston and New England media markets is vital."

Video listening quiz: Problems with English

European Day Of Languages

The teaching procedures differed from class to class. Some teachers asked their students to match the proverbs with their definitions, others wanted their students to match the first half of a proverb with its ending. I was lucky enough to sign up for the computer lab so that when I said a proverb in Croatian, my students had to search the Internet to find its English and German translations. I divided the class into two teams, which added a competitive feel to the activity.
The list of proverbs can be found on Google Docs. Feel free to edit it.

So I have to make do with what I have. One of my favourite icebreakers that works well with large classes and students who have just met for the first time, is in fact similar to Seth's writing facts on the white board, except that I don't do facts, but photos, and to a certain extent to Karenne's Power Point presentation, except that I don't create a presentation but a poster.
For my Who am I? activity, I created a poster divided into four parts, each depicting a different topic:
Each of the parts contains photos only, so that students have to ask questions if they want to know more about me.
After they've found out "everything" about me, I ask my students to take a piece of paper, divide it into four parts and draw pictures that describe their family, their wishes, their hobbies and what they do. They are not allowed to use words, letters or numbers.
After that, they do a pair-share activity, in which they try to find out more about their partner, based on their drawings. Finally, instead of introducing themselves to the whole class, they introduce their partners.
I've noticed that students talk about their partners in front of the whole class more willingly than they would about themselves. They feel less shy and more confident, as they are not supposed to know everything about the person they've just met.
Reading practice
Sep 2, 2010
For teachers who want to enhance their students' reading skills, Read Print is the website to go to.

Sankshema was registered as a Charitable Trust in March 1990. After a brief socio-economic survey, the trustees decided that the primary aim for the trust should be Medicare, specially focused on cancer awareness, detection and treatment. In addition to Medicare, the trustees decided to provide scholarships to the economically deprived rural students to help them pursue higher education.
The Cancer Hospital to serving rural poor who are suffering with cancer and are unable to meet the prohibitive costs which are involved in treating the disease in cities where the cost of boarding and lodging for the patient and attendant is higher than the cost of treatment. Sushruta Cancer Hospital named after the famous ancient Indian surgeon "SUSHRUTA" was set up in Karimnagar district of Andhra Pradesh in 1992 with a capital cost of two crores..
The Cancer Hospital is equipped with Alcyon II Telecobalt Unit from France to conduct Radiotherapy on patients. The hospital has upgraded radiotherapy treatment by adding a LINAC (Linear Accelerator) which administers radiotherapy with minimal damage to surrounding body tissue. On an average, the machine is used for 10 hours a day. Well equipped medical oncology, surgical oncology and brachy therapy departments have been set up to cater to the needs of the patients. Free meals and accommodation is provided to every patient and one attendant caring for them.
From 1995 to Feb 2014 17,104 patients were treated. If radiotherapy is prescribed, the patient would have to take at least 40 radiotherapy sessions. Annadanam (Free Food) is provided twice a day to the patient and their attendant. This scheme which was started on 1st January 2000 has served meals 430,617.
Many bright, hardworking and deserving students in India do not complete their education because of their poor economic background. Many of them are children of poor farmers and daily wage laborers who go to great lengths to provide their children basic education. The students themselves study in conditions which would not be acceptable in any developed country. They lack basic infrastructure like a table and chair sufficient books etc. In spite of these odds, they manage to qualify in the entrance exams for professional streams, but they back out due to lack of financial support.
In 1999 the Sankshema trust decided to allocate funds from the group companies and collect donations from individuals and organizations to sponsor students with merit from economically deprived rural communities to complete their studies by providing them with financial support. The scheme commenced in 1999 with 14 students in the fields of medical, engineering and commerce streams.
We are very proud of the fact that we have, from 1999 to 2014 given educational scholarships to 3,206 students. Amount disbursed as scholarships until 2014 is Thirty three million, six hundred and three thousand rupees (3,34,63,000) Rs.This figure continues to grow every year.

Award winning Ferndale artist dies
Ferndale - Jack Mays the award winning Ferndale artist and editorial cartoonist passed away today. He died around 2 Friday afternoon surrounded by family and friends at St. Joseph Hospital.
He was one of the original group of artists who settled in Ferndale back in the late 60's early 70's. Not long after, the art world began to take notice. Hobart Brown's gallery sprang up and so did Jack's along with 30 or 40 other artists. Rents were cheap. In fact, you could get a storefront with utilities paid for around $30.00 a month. As Jack would say, "You couldn't afford to leave!" People were buying art by the arm loads in those days. Gone are the multiple times of 5 or $6,000 commissions. He bemoaned the changing times when News Channel 3 interviewed him for this last year's Kinetic Sculpture Race. "People just don't buy art like they used to," he said. Jack was the instigator of what has turned into the Kinetic Grand Championship. He threw the challenge to Hobart Brown and in 1969 the race was on with Jack driving his homemade tank! The race has continued non stop ever since.
Back in December of 2004, he was diagnosed with terminal kidney cancer. Doctors gave him three months to live. He would have none of that and defied the odds another 10-years; inspiring others to fight the good fight.
He leaves a legacy of great art and a human history with his pencil drawings of his beloved and adopted home,Ferndale. For many years, he sat at corners of the town, painting storefronts, and daily events. His sharp eye never missed a detail.
That huge collection of colored pencil drawings, rarely seen or shown, was given to seed a foundation called, The Amazing Grace Foundation. It is dedicated to assisting Ferndale families who have to travel outside of the area for their children's medical attention. Gone at the age of 76. Rest in peace Jack Mays.

1995 Jeep Cherokee Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1995 Jeep Cherokee based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
Ignition wire failures can cause a rough idle or intermittent engine misfire and there might not be a Check Engine light.
The throttle position sensor (TPS) may fail causing intermittent drivability problems like hard starting, stalling, and/or hesitation when accelerating. A failed TPS will require replacement, proper diagnoses should always be performed before replacing any parts.
Leaks at the front and/or rear differential pinion seal and from the transfer case are common. Leakage from the transfer case normally occurs at the case-mating surfaces and require removal of the transfer case to reseal.
Engine oil leaks from the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket and timing cover gasket are common.
The outer exhaust manifold studs can break and cause exhaust leaks, commonly noted as a ticking type noise. The outer studs, clamps, and nuts will need to be replaced and are now being tightened to a reduced torque value (20 Nm/180 in lbs).
The throttle body may accumulate an oily, black residue in the bore and on the throttle plate causing hard starting or possibly stalling when coming to a stop. The throttle body should be cleaned during regular maintenance but do not spray cleaners directly on or at the throttle position sensor (TPS) as this can damage the sensor.
Some models are susceptible to rear main oil seal failures in dirty or dusty conditions. As dirt and dust collect on the oil seal, the abrasion wears through the sealing surface. A rubber plug, installed above the starter, is being used in production that prevents the dust entry near the seal and extends the life of the seal. The plug is available from MOPAR and should be installed any time a rear main seal service is performed.
A ticking type noise may be noted from the engine area due to an exhaust manifold that has cracked where the pipes are welded; cracked manifolds should be replaced.
A water leak and/or wind noise may develop from the doors or lift gate area. As a result of a leak, water may accumulate on the vehicle floor. While door seals can be a common cause for this type of leak, diagnoses may be required to confirm that a door seal is indeed causing the problem.

Protocol for the DeltaVision Microscope
First thing, it is kinda hot (since it is kept at 37°C, so don't be wearing a jumper under the lab coat.
First thing to do is to set up the deconvolution settings. Unfortunately I don't think I watched closely enough to be able to do it next time. For toxo slides prepared at botany, we used 10um distance from the cover slip to the cells, and we were using number 1.5 cover slips (which most labs use, I understand), and Fluorogel was approximated as vector shield (ie. refractive index 1.44), since we couldn't find the refractive index of fluorogel with a quick google. So we used the 1.522 oil, dabbing it on each slide (NOTE: not the lens).
Need to change lenses manually. We used 100×.
Use 512x512 image with 1x1 box. The 2x2 box has an average (median?) pixel for each 4 1x1 pixels, which seems like loss of information. We are pretty close to the resolution limit though.

Unfortunately, the machine uses its own proprietry format when exporting There are 3 ways to do this, probably the first way is the way that I should be using
You can use ImageJ afterwards instead on the DV files, using the loci tools, e.g. the ImageJ plugin, or using the cmdline e.g. https://github.com/wwood/bbbin/blob/master/microscopy_automate_dv.rb
To put images on a USB stick, the stick needs to be formatted using the FAT32 filesystem, not NTFS. To insert the USB stick, open the door in front of the computer, and the slot is on the right.

From: "Bob Letson" <>
Subject: US Sutherlin Place Names
Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2001 10:46:28 -0700
Hello all,
Was just looking up a place name question for one of my Letson family and
took a shot at getting something on Sutherlins.
I found a web page on the USGS web search which lists them. Try checking on
this URL:
If that doesn't work try going to the search page and searching for
Sutherlin (don't request any region) and you get the whole of the US. I am
going back to get that URL. Hold on. Back again. Here goes:
I imagine that you may have to type it in your browser. Where it looks like
spaces in the URL, there are underline marks. They don't show in this
This is quite interesting in that you can access maps to Sutherlin
Cemeteries, etc.
Someone, let me know if this works for you.

When Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) was picked as Mitt Romney's running mate last August, conservatives rejoiced.
Ryan, after all, is known as a conservative's conservative, having authored the GOP budget that contained trillions in spending cuts and major entitlement reform. By picking Ryan, the logic went, Romney was making a bold choice in the name of shoring up the GOP base.
But in today's Republican Party, Ryan's recent voting record is hardly one of the most conservative. And in fact, his votes over the past two years paint the picture of a middle-of-the-road conservative Republican rather than a rabble-rousing tea party crusader.
Whether that says more about the Republican Party or Paul Ryan is up for debate.
Ryan's move to the middle is one of the most interesting findings in the new 2012 vote ratings put out by the conservative Club for Growth and several other organizations. We've put them in chart form below:
You'll note that on the scorecards for both the Club for Growth and National Journal, Ryan actually ranked in the bottom half of House Republicans as far as his conservatism (128th out of 242). And his ratings from the three groups which also provide lifetime scores for Ryan suggests he was more moderate in 2012 than previous years.
If there's a group that should love a fiscal conservative like Ryan, it's certainly the Club for Growth. The group is devoted to economic issues and especially appreciates Republicans who have been active on their issues and have stuck their necks out for the cause.
But while he routinely ranked in the Club's top 40 Republicans early in his career, Ryan is no longer a Club favorite. While the Club praised his selection as Romney's VP, it had previously criticized his budget as doing too little.
And the last two years, he has dropped considerably in its rankings.
The reasons Ryan slipped on the Club's scorecard in 2012 were his vote against the Republican Study Committee budget -- an alternative to his own -- and his votes for the transportation bill and the omnibus spending bill. On those issues, he has aligned more with Republican leadership -- of which he is a member as budget committee chairman -- than the conservative wing of the party.
When asked about Ryan's less-conservative turn, Club for Growth spokesman Barney Keller said only: "His voting record speaks for itself."
Perhaps most illustrative, Ryan has been considerably less conservative than his potential 2016 presidential primary foes, Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.), according to all five ratings.
While Ryan has rightly earned a reputation as a conservative, in today's Republican Party, there's a difference between a conservative and a conservative's conservative. And groups like the Club for Growth and tea party-aligned groups have put a premium on ideological purity in today's Republican Party.
Ryan's recent voting record suggests he's more interested in being a party leader than a true believer. That might be great for his future in the House, but he could be ceding some ground in the presidential primary to the likes of Rubio and Paul.
If he actually wants to run for president, that is.

She was so comfortable to work with, and our videographer agreed. They were both able to work well together despite never meeting each other, which I have heard is not always the case. -Oh dear, I can't imagine! Meg's passion for her work was evident in every shot, and she was a wonderful addition to the positivity on our special day. We got married on one of the hottest days of the summer, yet Meg was still able to get amazing shots of my husband and I, despite the sweat and heat. The angles and the lighting were perfect in every shot, and she was able to capture all of the little details from that day. I would highly recommend Meg, she was not only an exceptional photographer, but we consider her now a friend!

Bethenny Frankel: Mother-Daughter Ice Cream Date
Stopping off for a frozen treat, Bethenny Frankel picked up some ice cream for herself and her daughter Bryn while out in Manhattan yesterday afternoon (September 26).
The "Real Housewives" hottie looked stylish as she pushed her little girl's stroller, however when she bent down for a bite of Bryn's cone, she spilled her own ice cream all over her hand.
Earlier this week, Bethenny announced that she'll be going nationwide with her talk show during a visit on the "Ellen DeGeneres Show."
Frankel gushed, "I am so excited for this next adventure. Hosting a talk show this summer and connecting with women every day made me realize that I have found my true passion."
"My heartfelt thanks go out to my dedicated fans who tuned in and helped make this great opportunity happen. This show will be for us. I am truly grateful for FOX's support of the show as well as Warner Bros.' and Telepictures' belief in me. I can't wait to get started!"

Familiarity with building Flex applications on Adobe AIR.
In my MAX 2008 session, Liberate Your Data with AIR, I presented three different approaches to access local data using the SQLite database access API in AIR:
I demonstrated a version of inSync (a simple contact management application) built with each of these approaches. In this article, I summarize the benefits and limiations of each approach.
Note: This application also demonstrates how to take a picture of a contact using your webcam and store it in the SQLite database as a blob. Note also that the application uses the same skin and overall context as a sample I posted previously to illustrate offline data synchronization using LCDS, but the implementation is entirely different: No LCDS here… just local data access.
In the "SQL in View" approach, you embed SQL statements as needed in View components. In this example the ContactForm component has create, update, and delete methods with the appropriate embedded SQL statements to insert, update, and delete a contact in the database. This approach works for quick prototyping, but is generally a bad practice. When you mix view logic and data access logic in the same component, neither the view logic nor the data access logic is reusable: you can't reuse the view with a different way to access your data, and you can't reuse your data access logic with a different view.
Download the inSync Local DAO Edition source code.
I provide this approach here as a quick way to get acquainted with the database access API in AIR. For real-world implementations, a more partitioned approach such as the DAO pattern or an ORM framework is highly recommended.
In this second version, I use the Data Access Object (DAO) pattern to improve the overall architecture of the application. A Data Access Object typically encapsulates the data access logic for one entity (in this case: Contact).
An interface (
IContactDAO) defines the contract:
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
public interface IContactDAO
function findAll():ArrayCollection;
function insert(contact:Object):void;
function update(contact:Object):void;
function updatePicture(contactId:int, jpeg:ByteArray):void;
function deleteItem(contact:Object):void;
The ContactDAO class implements that interface and provides one specific implementation of the contract (persisting data to the embedded SQLite database).
Download the inSync Local DAO Edition source code.
This approach has the following benefits:
dao property of ContactForm is of the IContactDAO data type (the interface). This allows us to pass an instance of any class implementing the IContactDAO interface to ContactForm.
The limitation of this approach is that you still have a lot of SQL code to write. You could use one of the following approaches to overcome this limitation:
In this approach, I use a mini object-relational mapping (ORM) framework that leverages the Flex support for class annotations to entirely eliminate manually written SQL statements. I first explored this approach at MAX 2007.
The idea is that you need to add a few hints to a model class definition for an automated system to be able to generate all the SQL statements required to persist instances of that class. For example, you need to specify which field is the entity identifier (primary key), as well as any discrepancy between a class field name and the corresponding table column name (firstName and lastName in this example), and so on.
The annotated Contact class used in this example looks like this:
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
public class Contact
public var contactId:int;
public var firstName:String;
public var lastName:String;
public var address:String;
public var city:String;
public var state:String;
public var zip:String;
public var phone:String;
public var email:String;
public var pic:ByteArray;
[Bindable] is the standard Flex metadata annotation whereas Table, Id, and Column are custom. Custom annotations are defined in the application config file (inSyncLocalORM-config.xml) as follows:
This instructs the compiler to keep your metadata in the generated SWF file so that you can get to this information at runtime using the reflection API (describeType). Click the Describe button (Debug icon) in this version of inSync to see the describeType result that includes the meta data information.
That's all you have to do to provide your AIR applications with automatic persistence to the embedded SQLite database. No SQL to write! The framework will even generate the table if it doesn't already exists.
For example to add a new contact to your database, you'd simply do something like this:
var contact:Contact = new Contact();
contact.firstName = "Christophe";
contact.lastName = "Coenraets";
contact.email = "email@example.com";
to modify the contact:
contact.firstName = "Chris";
to remove the contact:
You can provide the
entityManager with instances of any annotated class and it will figure out how to persist the object (how to generate the appropriate SQL statements) based on your metadata annotations.

Browns Pro Bowler Jordan Cameron will no longer be pigeonholed based on his Twitter bio because he made a notable change to it today.
The short bio reads, "Pro Bowl pass catcher for the Browns." It used to read, "Pro Bowl TE for the Browns."
Cameron's edit is a reaction to arbitrator Stephen Burbank's ruling today that New Orleans Saints Pro Bowler Jimmy Graham is a tight end and not a wide receiver for franchise-tag purposes. The cost to franchise a tight end is $7 million compared to $12.3 million for a wide receiver, so there's a difference of $5.3 million between the two positions.
Burbank pointed directly to Twitter as one of the reasons for his decision.
"Mr. Graham refers to himself as a tight end in social media that he controls (Twitter and Facebook), and his agents do so as well," Burbank wrote in the ruling.
It's worth noting that Cameron is scheduled to enter the final season of his rookie contract in the fall. And barring a contract extension, he'll be a prime candidate for a franchise tag next year.
ESPN.com sports business reporter Darren Rovell noticed the change in Cameron's bio and drew attention to it on Twitter. Cameron later acknowledged it with a tweet of his own.
Looks like the Jimmy Graham effect has hit @jordancameron's Twitter bio (via @B_Swag55) pic.twitter.com/ZtmLcn7hOc
— darren rovell (@darrenrovell) July 2, 2014
Thought no one would notice that minor change in the bio. Thanks @darrenrovell for calling me out.
— Jordan Cameron (@jordancameron) July 2, 2014
So now Cameron, who had a career-high 80 catches for 917 yards and seven touchdowns last season, seems to be a step ahead on the social-media front. Burbank, though, found many other reasons to deem Graham a tight end. He also explained that Graham lined up within 4 yards of the offensive tackle for the majority of the plays, the Saints drafted him as a tight end and he meets and practices with the tight ends when the team divides into position groups.
Still, no one can fault Cameron for trying.

The number of people left homeless has also jumped, from 2.5m to 3.3m, according to the Pakistani government.
Really bad weather in the area has made it difficult to get aid to the places that need it most, with wind and rain keeping helicopters on the ground.
Now aid agencies are worried about the affect the weather will have on the homeless, especially the children.
Cold, a lack of food and disease are all big problems for children, according to charities Unicef and Save the Children.
At least 1,400 people are also known to have died in Indian-administered Kashmir.
UN top relief co-ordinator Jan Egeland said billions of dollars would be needed for the aid effort.
Only $50m had so far been pledged from the UN target of $272m from the international community, he said.

We found transportation to be a challenge everywhere except Amsterdam and Helsinki, where trams were wheelchair accessible. Cab fares were high, as were the price of More meals as compared to USA.
In St Petersburg we had two amazing days with Alla Tours. Our guide was very knowledgeable, moving our party of 4 through the busy sites in such a way that we missed most of the large group tours. In the evening we attended the Alexandrinski Ballet-which was a magical experience in an over 200 year old, ornate theatre. The ballet, orchestra, and set were all outstanding. I highly recommend Alla Tours and the Alexandrinski in St Petersburg, Wish we had been able to stay 3 days instead of 2.
Every city was beautiful and unique in its own way. We did not go to Stockholm because the ship docked, apparently for the first time, in a port that required 1 1/2 hour train ride into Stockholm.
The Eurodam is larger than we usually enjoy. The modern decor is interesting. We found bathrooms in the public spaces that were designated accessible, but had no bars and extremely slipper floors.
We loved the Silk Lounge for its views and friendly staff.
One again, we found the entertainment on HAL to be poor. We went to the first night show, left on the 3rd song, and did not go again, so perhaps they improved. The dancers and singer were never working on the same beat.
One thing that we found unpleasant on this cruise were the number of cruisers who were just plan rude to the staff and to other cruisers. We have never seen this level of rudeness on a HAL cruise from travelers who were clearly old enough to know better. People cut in line, sometimes shoving. We saw outright fits at the customer service desk and poor treatment to some of the wait staff. HAL of course has no control over this. Everyone needs to remember to bring their manners with them when traveling!
For those who want to see a number of Baltic Cities in a short period of time, this is a great trip. Less

Cabin review: VA6001 Deluxe Ocean-View Verandah Stateroom
Balcony is partially obstructed by a metal piece. This is not disclosed in the description of a Superior Verandah. 3 adults shared this room. It was roomier than most cabins, and I was able to more around in my wheelchair. The bathroom was roomy, and user friendly with two exceptions: the rails in the bathroom were not very useful, and pull down rails by the toilet would be more useful. Access to the verandah was difficult, with a small rise in an inconvenient position. There is a pillar in the middle of the room, which made getting near the closets difficult in a wheelchair. There really wasn't enough closet space. The room was at the end of the hall, with very little traffic outside, and was very quiet. The 'contemporary' decor advertised as the Eurodam decor looses its sparkle in the stateroom. The variable shade beige wall coverings might have been nicer when first install, but now they are just dingy and look soiled. We had a dark, depressing picture by the bed. Since we were out and about most of the time, the room decor was not so bad. If I were on a long cruise, or spent much time there I would find it oppressive.Our room stewards were friendly, helpful, and efficient. The room was always clean and tidy.Read All Deluxe Ocean-View Verandah Stateroom (VA) Reviews >>
Port and Shore Excursions
Excellent Hotel Renaissance Amsterdam in the City center, near trams. Amsterdam is a walking friendly city, although there are some obstacles to wheelchairs. Many trams are wheelchair accessible.
We purchased the Amsterdam Holland card, which saved $ on museums. We never understood until the last day that we were to take our transportation card to the Central Station! Each time we got on a tram and showed it they let us stay, but never did anything with the card. Finally the last day we were told by one attendant that we what we needed to do!
Food was excellent everywhere we went, although higher prices than we are used to in US.
Sunday in Copenhagen is extremely crowded. There were tour groups everywhere. We did a walking tour and saw many wonderful buildings, a great garden. I would like to visit when it was less crowded and public buildings open.
Beautiful city, well laid out. Trams accessible!
Food good.
Amos museum is a private home that is now a museum with a truly excellent selection of art.
Church of the rock is an architectural wonder.
We enjoyed the ambience. However, the city is on hills, many cobblestones, which made it difficult in the wheelchair. We had no luck finding public transportation that was accessible.
We took a cab into town-20 Euros each way.
When we left we could not find a cab. We went to the stop and cab drivers did not know where the cruise ship was docked. The third driver who came knew, and we got back in time.
We were disappointed in this port. We had not realized that it was an hour and half train ride both ways to Stockholm. Nynasham was a quaint port town and we were told that this was the first time HAL had docked there. I could not go ashore, because the steps were too steep to the tender. Husband and daughter went and enjoyed the ONE Hop on Hop Off bus. They also brought back some magnificent pastries.
Emailing the tourist bureau I was told there was accessible transportation. Not so. The trams are from Czechoslovakia, which tells you their age!
We took a cab to Catherine's home that was built by Peter the Great. A nice tour, nice accessible bathroom with an interesting amenity-a shower head and drain for a shower!
There is a lovely park, with a pond that is home to a pair of black swans.
Our cab driver came back at a set time, and took us to the city center of the Old Town. We then worked our way downhill, had lunch, and saw a number of old, interesting buildings. Our daughter bought a T-shirt from the Texas Bar in Tallin.

Q. What is the Developer Services Program?
A. The Developer Services Program was created to provide formalized services and consistent support for our customers and partners who are leveraging Cisco interfaces in their development projects. Developer Services Central is the single-point access for all Cisco developer-focused information and help.
A unique Developer Services contract number is required to access our services. SmartNet and SAS/SASU contracts are for TAC supported products and software - they do not include support for developer APIs and protocols.
A. Through the program, you will be able to access all available developer documentation, downloads, and customized bug-tracking reports specific to the technology-solution interface products. You will have access to our dedicated subject-matter expert engineers using Cisco's online case tracking system. You will also receive the quarterly program newsletter with the latest information on program changes and new offerings, updated interface information, common development issues and latest bugs, and any other pertinent information that would benefit you as a developer. In addition to the newsletter, we also send out Field Alerts about critical interface issues/problems so your development team can react in a timely manner.
A. There is an annual subscription fee to access the many benefits we provide in the program. You can also purchase add-on support options as needed. For details, see Program Subscription Information in the At-A-Glance section of this web site.
Q. Are there any criteria for joining the Program?
A. Development Partners and Affiliates must belong to the Cisco Technology Developer Program. Customers who are developing internal applications may join the program at any time.
Q. How do I access the developer kits and downloads?
A. Access to our product information does require CCO login,
however many of the SDK downloads and documentation are available with just
a Cisco guest level log-in ID. Follow the log-in instructions provided on the
Supported Products page at
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/dev_support/access_level/product_support and select the product you are working with. We also provide a link to register and set up your Guest Profile if you don't have one.
Q. Do I have to subscribe to the program if I don't need support?
A. The subscription fee provides access to all the benefits of the program in addition to support. Without an agreement, you will have access to limited documentation and program benefits.
Q. What if I want to work with an interface not supported by your program?
A. We are working as quickly as possible to set up the support structure for the many Cisco interfaces that are being opened up to the development community. We will keep you posted as more Supported Developer Products are added to our program umbrella through the program newsletter.
Q. Can I download products and product upgrades, and get product support, with my Developer Services contract number?
A. Your Developer Services contract number only provides access to API-specific downloads and documentation on Developer Services Central, and developer support from our team of specialized engineers. You cannot access the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for product support, or access the Software Download Library for product software or upgrades.
TO PURCHASE PRODUCT AND/OR UPGRADES: Contact your local Cisco Reseller Partner. Visit our website at http://tools.cisco.com/WWChannels/LOCATR/jsp/partner_locator.jsp to find a reseller/partner.

Five-year cost of ownership: $29,929
Fair purchase price: $15,595 Hyundai gave the Accent a complete redesign for the 2012 model year, and Gutierrez says the makeover made the model "a world-class subcompact." Available as a sedan or hatchback, the Accent seats four adults comfortably but gets 28 mpg/city and 37 mpg/highway. That gives the model a low estimated five-year fuel cost of $9,544. Couple that with low five-year expenses for depreciation ($9,619), financing ($1,102), taxes/title ($1,403), maintenance ($2,148) and repairs ($1,837) and owning an Accent will cost you less than $30,000 over five years. The model does have a fairly high $4,276 estimated five-year insurance cost. But Gutierrez says that's because the Accent -- like the Versa -- has been around long enough for insurers to predict its accident rates precisely. He says the higher premiums mean the Accent isn't "the absolutely least expensive 2013 to operate, but it's definitely one of the best in the subcompact segment by far."

Fresh Summer Salad
One of my favorite parts of summer are farmers markets – or in my case, a trip to the local farm stand out in Orleans. Once the farm opens for the season, I do most of my fruit and vegetable shopping there. Shopping this way means that I am shopping for products in season, so every week can mean something different. I look forward to October each year to get my hands on some butternut squash to make my butternut squash soup just in time for Thanksgiving.
The other day I had quite a bit of product in the fridge, and I needed a quick side dish to go along with our BBQ'd meat. So looking what I had in the fridge, I decided to make a fresh summer salad featuring product almost entirely purchased locally. The salad was fresh, crisp, and gone within minutes. Success, I would say!
- Fresh corn off a cob
- Cherry Tomatoes (small handful)
- Cucumber
- Feta or Goat Cheese (to your liking)
- Olive Oil (1 tablespoon)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Cilantro (to your liking)
- If you haven't already, cook your corn using your preferred method
- Slice the cucumber and cherry tomatoes and put into a bowl
- Once the corn has cooked and cooled, slice and put into the bowl
- Add as much cheese as you desire
- Coat the mix with the olive oil, dash in some salt and pepper
- Mix and you are done!

Soft, light and comfy... medium fits me perfect at 5'8" and 155 lbs. I have it in 3 colors, and wear them all the time... casual nights out, at the office, and out snowboarding on the weekend. Biggest problem I have with this fleece is keeping my girlfriend from stealing it from me so she can wear it.

Compresses well, expands quick once you unroll it, and lightweight. Nice luxury item to carry if you have the space... better than trying to use your stinky clothes as a pillow.

I've used these for about 20 days on the slopes this past year and overall they've held up better than gloves from some other brands I've owned. Snowboarding can be rough on gloves so I've gotten used to buying a new set every year (I'm not the sort who will keep a pair of gloves that I have to duct-tape together to get through the day.) I was hoping that jumping to a higher quality glove that I'd get a couple of years out of them at least; so far so good, with a couple of caveats.
First the good: they're wicked warm... worn these in temperatures close to zero degrees without liners and I was still able to feel my fingers. The style and fit is great, and I'm especially impressed with the over-glove cynch... I've had the stretch-cord fail on me for several sets of gloves in the past (Burton in particular) and so far there's no fraying on these. Otherwise the stiching quality is good... no seam seperation (and no holes) so far.
The bad: the soft textured leather on the fingers is starting to fall apart, and the way the gloves were sown together the lining will occasionally bunch up around the pinky finger and make it difficult to get these on. These are both problems I've seen in other gloves so I'm not totally surprised, just disappointed that I still have these sort of issues with hundred dollar gloves.
Overall I'm happy with these so far... considering the amount I abuse my gear I guess I can't complain too much. I would even consider buying another set of these in the future... however durability issues seem to linger even at this price point, so beware.

Pricey, but an absolute must for making sure your valuable gear doesn't walk off without you.

Simple install... works great on my Subaru Impreza and my girlfriends Honda CR-V.

Look good, they're comfy and have great wet/dry traction. Bought these to wear on a white water rafting trip last summer; performed beautifully compared to the strap sandals and water shoes most people wore. The pull-strap works really well; you can get these good and tight if you need to... makes them a bit uncomfortable if you overdo it but I can vouch for the fact that they won't get torn off your feet if you get dunked in a Class V rapid.

A bit awkward to get the bike up on top of the car, so hopefully you are tall or your ride is low to the ground. But once you get your bike up on this it ain't going nowhere. This system locks the front wheel nice and tight, and works fine with my disc brake mountain bike.
Mounts quick on my Yakima crossbars, so quickly that they might as well have painted "steal me" on the side of it. Will work with the accessory lock housing if you use a nut/washer combo and thread the bolt down through the crossbar mount, however nothing in the instructions mentions this possibility.
I still highly recommend this bike mount, however given how expensive it is Yakima really should have included a better way to secure it to your crossbars so someone doesn't walk off with it while you're out on the trail (thus why I give it 4 stars instead of 5).
I just started backpacking again last summer, and picked one of these up for a weekend trip on the Appalachian trail in New Hampshire. I was a boy scout for 6 years, and I wish they had packs like this back then. Comfort-wise it was like night and day compared to the old external frame packs I remember using. Even compared to some of the somewhat modern gear that my buddies had, it was better fitting and I could easily carry more in it without any strain on my back. I've only used it a couple of times so far so I can't vouch for the long-term durability... however I have yet to see any problems and given the build quality I don't expect to. The lightweight fabric used has yet to snag, tear or stretch in any way... I was really rough on it my first time out and I was impressed that it still looked brand new after a couple of days being tossed/dragged/carried around in the woods. The little touches really added to my appreciation of this pack... things like the mesh side pockets on either side of the belt where I could carry my bandana and pocket knife, or the multiple access points so I could get to things in the middle or at the bottom of my pack without having to unload and reload everything constantly. Probably the only drawback is that it's so roomy that it could encourage you to overpack... I easily fit my sleeping bag and inflatable mat inside the bottom compartment and still fit my clothes, food, 3L Camelbak and a good amount of the group gear in the top with room to spare.
Overall I'd say it's worth every penny... so if you're looking to get into multi-day backpacking I would highly recommend this pack. Might be a bit expensive for someone just starting out, but look at it this way: you can end up losing a lot if your pack fails you part way through a trip... respect from your buddies if they end up having to pack out your gear for one.

Bought these on sale last year at a local store... probably the most comfortable pair of shoes/boots I've ever owned. They look great and are light enough for casual wear around town or at the office. Break in time was minimal; my feet felt great on multiple day hiking trips in and around New England last summer, including a 3 day backpacking trip along the Appalachian Trail in the NH White Mountains. On that particular trip it rained hard for most of the second day; unlike my companions my feet were still warm, dry and blister free by the time we made camp that night (even after sloshing through a couple of inches of water at a few points on the trail!)

Kavanagh and Schimel Hail Inclusion of Microstamping in Assembly Budget
Assembly would give law enforcement critical tool to solve violent crimes
March 12, 2012
Albany – State Assemblymembers Michelle Schimel and Brian Kavanagh hailed the inclusion of microstamping in the Assembly budget proposal passed today. Microstamping would replace the existing, less effective Combined Ballistic Identification System (CoBIS), which the Governor has proposed to eliminate in his Executive budget. Microstamping allows law enforcement to trace firearms through shell casings found at crime scenes, even if the crime gun is never found. In passing microstamping, the Assembly heeded the call of gun violence victims and their families, anti-crime advocates, and law enforcement who have called for microstamping to be enacted in the budget due to be completed by the end of the month. "Microstamping is about public safety and placing criminals behind bars," said Schimel, who has sponsored legislation calling for microstamping for several years. "This technology will save taxpayers' dollars by enabling law enforcement to solve gun crimes quicker. At a time when government has to save money and be more efficient, microstamping will help reduce the number of man-hours needed to solve gun crimes. I praise my Assembly colleagues for realizing the urgent need for microstamping in New York State, and I strongly urge the State Senate and Governor to join us and include it in the final budget." Kavanagh said, "With violent gun crimes continuing to be a scourge throughout the state, it is essential that we give police the best tools available to solve them. Microstamping is a straightforward mechanism that is very difficult for all but the most sophisticated criminals to thwart and has no significant effect on law-abiding gun owners. The Senate should join us in taking this simple step to solve violent crimes and end some of the carnage."

National study to track career changes among newly licensed registered nurses
The Foundation's program interests on nurses focus on increasing the retention of nurses in hospital settings by improving the work environment. Eighty-eight percent of new nurses start their careers in hospitals. There is evidence based on anecdotal or small-scale studies that these nurses have the highest turnover rates. The reasons for these early career choices are not clear, and to improve the work environment for nurses we need better information about when and why new nurses leave. The purpose of this collaborative project is to track a nationally representative sample of newly licensed nurses over the first three to four years of their careers. A successful project would inform the Foundation's staff focusing on nurses, hospital administrators, and policy makers on why new nurses are changing jobs and where they go when they leave. A series of planned papers and publications will promote dissemination of findings and the spread of the new information about nurse retention.

I regret that I don't have the time to look into this. I don't understand
affix files and the endings algorithm enough right now to be able to figure
much out. Just a simple guess, though: did you try removing any old
word2root.db or root2word.db files before running htfuzzy endings? It may
be a problem with an existing database, rather than an affix file problem.

Former president George W. Bush made a rare public appearance today, hosting a conference on private sector growth and telling attendees he doesn't really miss the presidency.
"I enjoyed it; it was an unbelievably interesting experience," he said at the forum sponsored by the George W. Bush Institute and held in New York City. "It was inconvenient to have to stop at some stop signs -- stop lights -- coming over here, but I guess I miss that."
Bush did not mention President Obama, but did discuss one of his successor's big issues: The tax cuts Bush signed into law in 2001 and 2003.
Obama has pledged to repeal those tax cuts for wealthy Americans, a proposal Bush appears to oppose. "If you raise taxes, you're taking money out of the pockets of consumers," he said.
As he has on previous occasions, the former president also said: "I wish they weren't called the 'Bush tax cuts.' "
If they had some other name, Bush said, they would probably be "less likely to be raised."
Bush also joked about himself, saying his institute would soon be publishing a book about how to achieve a 4% growth rate -- this on top of the presidential memoir he had published in 2010.
"It's got to be a staggering thing for some of the cynics up here," Bush said. "I publish a book, and now the Bush Institute's publishing a book -- they didn't think I could read, much less write a book."
David's journalism career spans three decades, including coverage of five presidential elections, the Oklahoma City bombing, the 2000 Florida presidential recount and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He has covered the White House for USA TODAY since 2005. His interests include history, politics, books, movies and college football -- not necessarily in that order. More about David

I'm currently on the birth control pill and was wondering what other birth control options I have. Are these options available at the student health center?
There are other hormonal contraceptive options, including the NuvaRing and OrthoEvra patch, both of which are available at the Student Health Center. We also do the every 3 month Depo-Provera injection.
There are also barrier methods available, including cervical cap, diaphragm and spermicide/condoms, all available at the Student Health Center.
Some students are interested in the IUD, which we are able to do at the Student Health Center, but it is not the best option for everyone.
Lastly there is the Implanon hormonal implant, which we do not offer at the Student Health Center.
For an informational session on all these options, you can make a free appointment with a Peer Sexual Health Adviser (PSHE) by calling 650-3400 and talk with the receptionist.
