Mickey Edwards was a cab fare picked up by Vikram Desai. Vik recognised him as a famous jockey and Mickey offered him a hot tip instead of his fare at the end of the journey but this was refused. Nevertheless, Mickey gave Vik the tip anyway: "Lucky Sam". The horse won as predicted although Vik had failed to put a bet on. A few days later, Vik found that Mickey was his customer again. Once more an offer was made of the fare or a tip and again Vik chose the fare, although this time Mickey wasn't forthcoming with the tip. The third time, Vik wasn't so reticent and took the tip, winning £200 in the process.

Once again, the Lancaster County Council has displayed its bias against Indian Land by singling out District 7 Planning Commission member Jerry Holt and declining to reappoint him to the commission.
This is in response to Friday's column by Charles Bundy. Yes, the president was rightly chosen by the Electoral College, but Trump lost the popular vote by 3 million votes. People have a right to protest and resist peacefully.
The Democrats did oppose the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Mr. Bundy fails to mention that the Republicans refused to even meet with Merrick Garland, Obama's choice to fill the vacated position on the court. President Obama had every right to make that appointment, and the Republican Senate resisted.
Obamacare has been burdensome for small business. This week, the Senate has a chance to do something about it.
Year after year, when the National Federation of Independent Business surveys its members, they say their No. 1 priority is health care, but the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, has made things more difficult for them. Its onerous taxes and mandates have increased costs and reduced choices.
This is a response to Charles A. Bundy's column in Friday's Lancaster News, headlined "Negativism, resistance to president must end so we can solve problems."
The Republicans have majorities in both houses of Congress, so they can pass any legislation they want. But the writer states that "Democrats, supported by an unhappy and embarrassed media, have thrown up every conceivable stumbling block to the orderly formation of a new government."
Because I take pride in my community and value those who serve in it, I would like to take a moment to thank a few organizations and individuals.
I want to thank the J. Marion Sims Foundation for supporting the Citadel House. Also thanks to the chamber of commerce, the United Way, The Lancaster News and the many individuals who came out to our open house ribbon cutting on June 21.
I am so grateful to you all for all you have done to support this new 90-day supportive-service homeless shelter here in Lancaster.
Here's my final legislative summary for you regarding the just-finished General Assembly session.
Roads funding and restructuring
After years of inaction, the General Assembly passed a roads bill that reforms both the DOT and the State Infrastructure Bank, as well as provides a major increase in funding for long-overdue maintenance needs. The governor now has the authority – and responsibility – to appoint, oversee and, when necessary, fire the nine SCDOT Commissioners.
Did you ever wonder what a truly great school looks like?
In doing research with the U.S. News and World Report rankings of high schools, I learned that the top three high schools, and five of the top seven in the country, were run by BASIS – a chain of 27 tuition free, charter, private and international schools in five states, Washington, D.C., and China.
The recent shootings of unarmed members of Congress on a baseball practice field in Virginia is just the latest, but most serious, of a series of reactions to the election of our president.
The shooter was dispatched by two brave security officers on the scene and will be no cost to the taxpayers while he awaits trial.
This behavior must cease, and we need to face up to the atmosphere that feeds this kind of cowardly action by misfits in our society.

Chasing Cash with Consumables at HP, Canon, Epson, and Lexmark
The four major printer OEMs (HP, Canon, Epson, and Lexmark) rely on supplies revenue to sustain their revenue and profitability over the long term. OEMs sell many printing products, particularly entry-level models, at a loss and then expect to recoup the lost revenue through supplies sales. In this report, Lyra leverages its deep understanding of ink jet and laser printing market dynamics to provide industry executives and financial analysts with a complete view of OEM supplies revenue and an understanding of the trends that impact OEM profitability.
In 2005, both HP and Lexmark derived similar shares of their supplies revenue from sales of desktop ink jet cartridge (53 percent each) and laser cartridges (40 percent and 43 percent respectively). The picture is quite different for Canon and Epson. Laser cartridge sales drove much of Canon's supplies revenue in 2005. Although Canon has a strong presence in the laser printer market, ink jet cartridges accounted for less than one-quarter of Canon's supplies sales in 2005. Epson is second only to HP in worldwide ink jet printer installations and worldwide desktop ink jet cartridge sales but has less of a presence in the laser market.
Supplying the Profits: Chasing Cash with Consumables at HP, Canon, Epson, and Lexmark examines each company's 2005 revenue in detail. With over 50 figures and five chapters, the report provides an understanding of the trends that impact OEM profitability. Purchase this report today to find out which vendors have been most affected by the sale of aftermarket cartridges, how much revenue was generated from the sale of color laser versus monochrome laser cartridges, and how much branded media has contributed to each company's supplies revenue.

|Re: [all] Going TLP?

Sorry for the dumb question, I may have missed an important thread, but what do we gain exactly by moving to a TLP ? What will be different ? I can see the external aspects like a new web site, new mailing lists and the loss of the Jakarta brand, but I doubt we are moving just for this. Will this new structure help us attract more users or more contributors, and how ? Will we release more components, more frequently ? Will this improve the quality and the visibility of the projects ? Thank you for enlightening me.

Beijing berths up for grabs at Miami regatta
by RYA on 28 Jan 2008
The last remaining British berths for the Beijing 2008 Olympic and Paralympic sailing events will be at stake this week when the Rolex Miami Olympic Classes Regatta gets underway in Biscayne Bay on Monday (28 January).
While sailors for ten of the eleven Olympic disciplines have already been named by RYA selectors, the British trials are still ongoing in the women's single-handed Laser Radial class, and in the three classes which make up the Paralympic sailing competition.
Southampton's Helena Lucas took an early advantage in the race for Paralympic selection, winning the 2.4mR Midwinters yesterday – the first of the trials events for the single-handed Paralympic class – with Swede Stellan Berlin in second and Skandia Team GBR teammate Megan Pascoe in third.
The event was a warm-up event ahead of the Rolex Miami Olympic Classes Regatta, which also forms part of the trials for the 2.4mR class.
The Miami regatta is the first event of a potential three-regatta trials series in the Laser Radial class, in which the race for the single British spot for Beijing will be between Andrea Brewster, Penny Clark, Charlotte Dobson and Lizzie Vickers.
As the only British boat in contention in the three-person Paralympic Sonar class, two-time World Champions John Robertson, Hannah Stodel and Stephen Thomas will be hoping to put their disappointing sixth-placed finish at the 2007 IFDS Worlds behind them with a strong showing in Miami to earn the green light from the RYA selectors.
Meanwhile the battle for selection in the SKUD-18 – the new two-person Paralympic boat for Beijing – will be between Allan Smith and Jackie Gay, and Niki Birrell and Alexandra Rickham.
"With Beijing places still up for grabs in four of the Olympic and Paralympic events, we can certainly expect some pretty competitive racing out here this week," said Skandia Team GBR Manager Stephen Park.
"I'm looking forward to seeing how the trials process pans out, and hope to gain a clearer picture of what our final team for China will look like by the end of the regatta."
Yngling World Champions Sarah Ayton, Sarah Webb and Pippa Wilson, already selected for the Beijing Games, will also be in action for Skandia Team GBR out in Biscayne Bay, while Shirley Robertson also makes a return to competition, racing with Annie Lush and Lucy Macgregor in the Yngling for the first time since missing out on the 2008 Olympic berth to her former crewmates.
One year on from their very first regatta together in the Star class, Beijing-bound sailors Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson will be in the hunt for medals in the two-man keelboat event.
Racing at the Rolex Miami OCR 2007 will run from 28 January - 2 February – for results and regatta information visit www.skandiateamgbr.com

Author's Note/Disclaimer: So, it took me forever to figure out how to actually add this in after the story was already up, but whatever. Anyway, the usual disclaimer applies here: Shadowrun and it's technology and corperations are currently the property of Topps, and licensed by Catalyst Game Labs. The characters here and the Trident Corporation are mine, obviously. Anyway, any reviews would be welcomed and appreciated. By which I mean actual reviews. "This is great" or "you're awesome" is nice, but I can't do anything with it.
In a cramped apartment in one of the worst neighborhoods of Seattle slept a man who went by the unlikely name of Frost. Unfortunately he did not sleep for very long. His commlink, a device that was part cellphone, part personal computer, and entirely inconvenient, notified him that he had received a new message.
"Gods damn whoever is messaging me at this hour!" Frost spat as he reached over and plugged himself into his commlink.
After issuing a few short sub-vocal commands, he had the message overlaid on his field of vision using his cybereyes, and he began to read. It appeared to be a job offer from a Mr Johnson, which was undoubtedly not the fellow's real name, inviting Frost and his team to meet Johnson at a bar that Frost recognized as both a bit of a dive and a hangout for Shadowrunners and mercenaries like himself. The message said that further details would be provided upon arrival at the meeting.
With no other jobs lined up in the near future, and an overwhelming urge to actually eat this month, Frost decided that attending the meeting was well worth the risks of traveling to that part of town. Which, to be perfectly honest, was only slightly worse than the part of town he currently resided in. Besides, it wasn't as if he couldn't handle himself. Standing close to six feet tall with a rather obvious cyberarm and a build that said that he wasn't just some corp wageslave, but was rather someone who had spent a great deal of time surviving in Seattle's shadows, meant that there weren't many street-level thugs that would actually try to start something with him. After all, in a town like Seattle you don't start anything with someone who looked even remotely competent unless you're being paid, because you never know who's packing what.
Decision made, Frost brought up his contact list and forwarded Mr Johnson's message to the rest of his team. Upon getting confirmation from the four of them, he sent a reply to Johnson, saying that they'd meet him there in two hours. Since he had time to spare once he was finished getting dressed, Frost sat up sofa and dragged his coffee table closer to him. Once it was close enough that he could reach it without leaning over too much, he removed his pistols from their hidden holsters and set about disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling them. When he was finished with that task, he pulled his maintenance kit from under his sofa and made sure his cyberarm was in top condition.
Once his usual maintenance routine was finished, Frost got the rest of his gear together and left his apartment. As he headed down the stairs he made sure that both of his pistols had a round chambered, and attached one to the wrist holster he hid under his jacket sleeve, and the other went in the small holster concealed at the small of his back. It was a testament to how bad his neighborhood was that the few people who saw him as he went past considered his actions completely unremarkable.
From his apartment, the bar was a fairly short drive. On his way there, Frost amused himself by thinking up new and exceedingly extravagant ways to spend the money he would make on the job. Not that he had any clue how much he was going to be paid, or what the job was, but it was nice to dream. By the time he had reached the bar, he had decided that if the pay was good enough, he was going to buy himself a yacht and get out of the mercenary business. Of course, that kind of money was highly unlikely, and would probably involve some kind of high-risk operation like blowing up the headquarters of one of the mega-corporations.
Frost pulled into the surprisingly empty parking lot of the bar, a little hole in the wall called Lucky Eddie's, and got out of the junker he drove. Once inside the rather smoky and foul-smelling building, a man who was dressed far better than anyone else there, or indeed anyone in the entire neighborhood, waved Frost over to a booth in the far corner. He surmised that the man must be Mr Johnson, but it looked like he was the first member if his team to arrive. As he took a seat, he was relieved to see his team's (other) gunslinger, the ever surly Knight, walk through the door.
"Gentlemen, if you would be so kind as to take a seat while we wait on the rest of your group? I am, as you may have guessed, Mr Johnson," the man said as Knight arrived.
"Yeah, no kiddin'? What's this job offer 'bout, den?"
"Come on, Knight, you know our rules. Even if Mr Johnson was willing to tell us, we always wait on the rest of the team first," Frost said, both as a not-so-gentle reminder to Knight to keep his greed in check, and to let Mr Johnson know that they would indeed be waiting on the rest of the team.
Eventually, one-by-one, the rest of Frost's team arrived and made their way over to the booth. The team's enormous close-combat expert, Slim, the petite and (in Frost's opinion) lovely hacker, Netrose, and finally the team's infiltration specialist, Noir. Once they were all seated at the booth, which in Slim's case required dragging over another chair, Mr Johnson outlined his job offer for them.
"Gentlemen, and lady, you are all here because I requested your assistance with a matter of utmost importance. Assistance for which I am prepared to pay a rather large sum. I -" Before Mr Johnson could continue he was interrupted by Knight.
"Yeah? How large are we talkin'?"
"Knight! Let the man speak. We'll get around to payment in a bit," Frost scolded.
"Yes, quite. As I was saying, I require a group of individuals such as you to, ahem, acquire information on a prototype android currently in development. Should you choose to accept the job, I am prepared to pay a sum of fifty thousand nuyen, to be divided amongst your group as you see fit. Feel free to take a few moments to discuss my offer between yourselves."
The group all exchanged a meaningful glance, and initiated sub-vocal communication with each other. Knight, of course, was all for the idea. After all, it sounded like a simple enough job, and ten grand apiece was well worth it in his opinion. Noir and Slim, on the other hand, had a few reservations about the job, which Frost tended to agree with.
"I'm not so sure about this'n, Bossman. We dunno jack 'bout de target, we dunno jack 'bout dis Johnson fella, an', mos' impor'antly, we dunno if dis job on de up an' up," Slim growled through his mic.
"The big lummox is right, for once. We've been played before. Might be that we're being played again," Noir said in his light, whispery voice.
"Slim and Noir bring up good points, Knight. Not saying we shouldn't take the job, but we should know what we're getting into before we do. 'Rose, do me a favour, and see if you can't dig up any information on which of the megacorps has a robotics project in R&D right now, if you can."
"Already done, boss."
"The two most likely candidates are Hermes Technology, and Fujiyama Enterprises. Anticipating your next question, I went ahead and checked out our Mr Johnson. He has a disposable commlink produced by REvolution Inc. Not saying for sure that's who he works for, but they seem like a likely candidate. There've been rumours of them wanting to branch out, and robotics is the next logical step from computer technology."
"Well, it won't be a cakewalk, but unless the plans, or whatever he's wanting, are being held at one of the two groups' headquarters, then we should be fine. Let's see what Johnson says, and go from there," Frost finally decided.
Turning his attention back to Mr. Johnson, Frost addressed him directly once again. "Mr Johnson, you have our interest. We'll take the job."
"Excellent. My employers want you to acquire the prototype of the Trident Corporation's latest hunter-killer drone. If you manage to wipe all data on the drone from Trident's computers, we are willing to offer a bonus of an additional five thousand nuyen. With your permission, I'll send the details on the job to your team's commlinks now."

Midfielder Sergio Busquets will be fit to line up for defending champions Spain on Monday against Croatia in their decisive Euro 2012 Group C encounter after recovering from a knock to the foot his federation said.
Euro 2012 | Features | Standings | Photos
The 23-year-old Barcelona star had a scan which found no damage after a challenge from Ireland's Keith Andrews in Thursday's 4-0 romp in Gdansk.
"They undertook a scan on Busquets and can rule out any injury to the foot," a federation spokesman said.
Both Spain and Croatia sit atop the group on four points, though, the Spanish are ahead on goal difference - Italy on two points can prevent one of them going through to the last eight but have to beat the already eliminated Irish to stand any chance of that outcome taking place.

Canadians are wondering whether electronic cigarettes are deemed legal in Canada. The last update from the Canadian government on electronic cigarettes dates back to 2009. Health Canada announced then that it doesn't consider the nicotine cartridges safe until further testing is conducted. It's a little ironic that Health Canada still permits the import of non-nicotine cartridges, which have exactly the same ingredients, except for the added nicotine. It's now been more than 3 years and we're still stuck in the same rut. Personal electronic cigarette reviews in Canada are popping up daily on blogs and forums everywhere online, with new ex-smokers praising the electronic cigarette. Why is Canada keeping quiet about e-cigarettes? Read the full article on why electronic cigarettes are considered legal in Canada but the nicotine cartridges are not. There's a mystery involved.

Please update your forum profile with a real handle instead of "907426".
I am storing awr reports in a clob column in a table by calling dbms_workload_respository.awr_report_html procedure and storing the data returned into the clob column along with dbid, start and end snap id in numeric columns. My requirement is to display a drop down of these 3 columns together and based on the selection get the data from clob column and display the awr in html format in the same page or another page. I don't know much of apex, need help on how to accomplish this.Those threads deal with overcoming the 32KB maximum size of an APEX item to make CLOB data available for editing. Simply displaying the contents of a CLOB is much easier. Create a PL/SQL Dynamic Content region that uses <tt>htp.p</tt> to output the CLOB contents. This method also has a maximum output limit of 32K, and the size of the AWR reports will be much larger than this. To safely send CLOB content to the browser it's necessary to buffer the output in chunks of 32K or less as shown in +{message:id=4497571}+.
I have searched Oracle Apex forum and tried below 2 things but maybe I am missing something in the process, can someone please help me and tell me how to display html data stored in clob.

Welcome to Zero Tolerance idiocy and the effect of Good intentions gone horribly wrong, pretty much liberalville./..
The principal seemed to be listing the possible consequences for such acts in response to reporters questions. He even seemed somewhat sympathetic to the kid, kids being kids and not always exercising the best judgement. I don't think its fair to imply he was responsible for the kid's suicide.
If he had said he was gay, he would be a hero instead of a stupid dead kid.
What a stupid, moronic thing to do. In front of kids too.
I didn't see where the threat of being charged as a sex offender led to the suicide. The kid was clearly begging for attention. Who knows what was going on at home, or what else was going on in this kid's head? "Sex offender" is mentioned and then the kid kills himself? It's nice that the headline connects the dots for me, but I'll handle that on my own, thanks.
He must have had other severe problems going on.
FU school pigs at the trough
I hope the parents sue you to the ground
My stomach hurts. This should never have happened.
Sex offender for streaking? Give me a break. This is LIBERAL INTOLERANCE RUN AMOK. The same people who teach kindergarteners about condoms fail to see the hypocrisy.
There is a big difference between a pervert exposing themselves and a kid streaking or taking a leak in public; that the judicial process at times fails to see this is amazing.
The kid was mentally ill. It's sad, but he is neither a hero nor a martyr.

This Polish death metal unit formed while all its members, Vogg (Waclaw Kieltyka, Poland; guitar), Vitek (b. Witold Kieltyka, 24 January 1984, Krosno, Poland, d. 2 November 2007, Novozybkov, Russia; drums) and Sauron (b. Wojciech Wasowicz, Poland; vocals), were in their early teens and still studying music in their respective schools. Adding bass player Martin (b. Marcin Rygiel, Poland), the band recorded their first demo, Cemeterial Gardens, in 1997. Unsurprisingly heavily influenced by Polands leading death metal outfit Vader, the demo was an impressive affair, especially considering the bands young age. A second demo, The Eye Of Horus, appeared the following year and was eventually released as part of Relapse Records Polish Assault compilation. Winds Of Creation followed in 2000, a furious blast of technical grinding death metal, it rapidly led to a bidding war eventually won by Earache Records, who signed the band to its Wicked World...

A sampling of the tastes of Delaware has been packaged into a trail of 24 iconic restaurants made to order for the culinary tourist.
The Delaware Culinary Trail was unveiled Feb. 12 at Harry's Savoy Grill along with the companion book, "First State Plates: Iconic Delaware Restaurants and Recipes," which is the prize for those diners who complete the trail by visiting 15 of its 24 eateries - a trek that begins by downloading a passport at www.visitdelaware.com/culinary.
Dining out is one of the top activities in Delaware, and so the Delaware Tourism Office set its sights on creating a menu-like road map of some of the First State's restaurants. The trail was modeled after the popular Delaware History Trail, Delaware Geocaching Trail, and Delaware Wine and Ale Trail, offering one-stop tourism shopping, a prize element and a passport system designed to encourage multiple stops and user interaction with the Delaware Tourism Office's website.
The most challenging part of building the trail was narrowing the field down to 24, which was done with an eye toward representing a diversity of culinary styles and geography, said Linda Parkowski, Delaware Tourism director.
"The restaurants we chose provide an accurate representation of the tastes and traditions of the First State," Parkowski said. "It's real people making real food, from local favorites like crabs, scrapple and signature pizza to dishes at fine-dining establishments on par with those found in nearby big cities."
Restaurants are big business in Delaware, and the proof is in the numbers. According to the National Restaurant Association, Delaware's restaurants were projected to register $1.6 billion in sales in 2012.
"Most restaurants are small businesses, and small businesses form the backbone of Delaware's economy - a backbone that Gov. Jack Markell plans to strengthen during his second term," said Alan Levin, director of the Delaware Economic Development Office. "I'm excited to see the launch of an initiative like the Delaware Culinary Trail that will use the success of small businesses to bring out-of-state visitors and added revenue to Delaware."
While the restaurants on the Delaware Culinary Trail will offer a plethora of eats for breakfast, lunch and dinner, "First State Plates" provides a feast for the eyes. The book, written by Pam George, features the stories behind the 24 restaurants, as well as recipes for some of the most popular dishes at each of the eateries. The book also features photos of the mouthwatering meals by Keith Mosher.
Those who download a passport at the Delaware Culinary Trail website, www.visitdelaware.com/culinary, and collect codes at 15 of the 24 restaurants - five in each of Delaware's three counties - will receive a copy of "First State Plates" as their prize. The book will also be available for $25 through the Delaware Tourism Office website.

Gilbert Arenas and the Washington Wizards hope the Christmas break hasn't cooled them off.
Arenas and the Wizards should get a rousing welcome home from the crowd at the Verizon Center as they face the Memphis Grizzlies, owners of the NBA's worst record.
One of the Grizzlies' league-low six wins, however, came in the only meeting this season with Washington (14-12). Arenas was held to a season-worst three points on 1-of-12 shooting in the Wizards' 95-80 defeat at Memphis on Nov. 24.
Arenas has had no such scoring problems lately, averaging 37.7 points over the past 10 games while Washington has gone 8-2.
``He wants to win,'' Washington coach Eddie Jordan said. ``He wants to show he's going to be one of the greatest of all time.''
The sixth-year point guard scored 54 points on Friday as the Wizards ended Phoenix's 15-game winning streak with a 144-139 overtime victory.
That contest ended a four-game road trip, during which Washington went 3-1 while Arenas averaged 41.8 points. The trip began with Arenas scoring a team-record 60 points in a 147-141 overtime win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Dec. 17.
``We've shown the world that we can compete with these good teams out here,'' said Arenas, averaging 30.1 points this season to rank third in the league behind Denver's Carmelo Anthony (31.6) and Allen Iverson (30.6).
Washington has lost the last three meetings with Memphis (6-22), but the Grizzlies have lost three straight overall and nine of 10.
Memphis appeared to force overtime in its most recent game when Damon Stoudamire banked a 3-pointer at the end of regulation, but officials ruled it came after the buzzer and the Grizzlies lost 100-97.
``At the end of the day, it's still a loss,'' Grizzlies swingman Mike Miller said. ``We've got to learn how to win games, and that's the bottom line. We're playing good enough to win. We're just not doing it and that's disappointing.''
The loss was Memphis' second in consecutive nights by the same score. It lost 100-97 in overtime to New Orleans on Friday.
The Grizzlies have dropped five consecutive road games and their 2-14 record away from home is the worst in the NBA.
Miller leads the team with 15.5 points per game and had 28 on Saturday, but is looking for more support from Pau Gasol.
The team's top scorer last season at 20.4 points per game, Gasol was held to 12 against Utah after scoring 28 against New Orleans. He's averaging 14.3 points through six games after missing the first 22 of the season with a broken left foot suffered during the world championships over the summer.
The last time he faced Washington, Gasol had 39 points and 10 rebounds in the Grizzlies' 108-98 win on Feb. 27.
He could be in for another big game against a Wizards team that allows a league-high 106.2 points per game.
