THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Recently I had a few questions about how to go about partial restores if you have media failure that affects only specific filegroups, and your database is inaccessible because of the missing file(s). The steps while simple, are not readily apparent in example form in books online.
In this example you have a multi filegroup database in bulk_logged recovery model. The database consists of read/write and read only filegroups. I throw these factors in to add a little bit more variance to the example.
-- create example database and filegroups
CREATE DATABASE my_db
ALTER DATABASE my_db
SET RECOVERY bulk_logged
alter database my_db add filegroup fg_static_A;
alter database my_db add filegroup fg_static_B;
alter database my_db add filegroup fg_static_C;
alter database my_db add filegroup fg_readwrite_A;
alter database my_db add file (name = 'f_static_A', filename = 'C:\f_static_a.ndf', size = 2 ,filegrowth = 2 MB ) to filegroup fg_static_A;
alter database my_db add file (name = 'f_static_B', filename = 'C:\f_static_b.ndf', size = 2 ,filegrowth = 2 MB ) to filegroup fg_static_B;
alter database my_db add file (name = 'f_static_C', filename = 'C:\f_static_c.ndf', size = 2 ,filegrowth = 2 MB ) to filegroup fg_static_C;
alter database my_db add file (name = 'f_readwrite_A', filename = 'C:\f_readwrite_A.ndf', size = 2 ,filegrowth = 2 MB ) to filegroup fg_readwrite_A;
You have done some bulk loads of static data to partitions in specific filegroups. You then mark these filegroups as read only:
MODIFY FILEGROUP fg_static_A READ_ONLY
MODIFY FILEGROUP fg_static_B READ_ONLY
Your next scheduled full backup occurs. The full backup captures both read only and read/write filegroups:
BACKUP DATABASE my_db
TO DISK='C:\my_db_full.bak' WITH INIT
You then do some more bulk loads of static data and mark that specific filegroup as read only:
MODIFY FILEGROUP fg_static_C READ_ONLY
You don't have the maintenance window right now to do perform a differentail or full file backup, and decide to do a transaction log backup. At this point, you will want to switch to full recovery before your next transaction log backup, take the transaction log backup and then switch back to bulk_logged. Otherwise, your bulk logged extents will keep getting backed up for your read only filegroups.
BACKUP LOG my_db
TO DISK='c:\my_db_log.bak' with init
Your database continues to be used and data is inserted/modified in the read/write filegroups. You then perform a partial backup of just your read/write filegroups:
TO DISK='C:\my_db_read_write.bak' with init
More data modification activity occurs on the database and then unfortunately you have drive failure that results in one of your read/write filegroups to disappear. SQL Server was restarted and queries on the database fail because the file is missing.
To simulate this, stop SQL, move file f_read_write_A somewhere else and restart SQL. Try quering the database, it should fail because of the missing file.
What do you do next if you want to just restore the read/write filegroup in question and get your database back online as quick as possible?
-- #1 back up the tail of the log with no_truncate. You *must* do this before you can do anything else.
TO DISK='c:\my_db_log_tail.bak' wth init
with NO_TRUNCATE
-- #2 then restore just the damaged file(s)/filegroup from the *partial* backup you took earlier
RESTORE DATABASE my_db FILE='f_readwrite_A' FROM DISK='C:\my_db_read_write.bak'
-- #3 restore all transaction log backup sequences ending with the latest tail you backed up.
RESTORE LOG my_db
from DISK='c:\my_db_log.bak'
with norecovery
from DISK='c:\my_db_log_tail.bak'
with recovery
Your database is now back online.
However, what if you lost one of your read only filegroups instead? For example, FILEGROUP fg_static_C. In this scenario, keep in mind that you've not yet performed a differentail or full backup since populating that filegroup and marking it read only. What steps would be required to restore that filegroup?
TO DISK='c:\my_db_log_tail.bak'
with NO_TRUNCATE, init
-- #2 Start your restore sequence from the last full backup. In this scenario, you must go back to the full backup because the partial only captured the readwrite filegroups.
RESTORE DATABASE my_db FILE='f_static_C' FROM DISK='C:\my_db_full.bak'
Your database is now back online and ready to go!

All of those concepts that it took us years to learn within a hand's reach. Math Formula is like a math book that fits in your pocket. 4 different categories that cover almost all the basic math formula: algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus.
Actually, this isn't just about formula. It provides basic facts, properties, definitions and tips. A great tool for everyone, specially for students (not just for cheating) that will have a handy way to check out if they're right on their daily exercises.
The only catch is its layout: too sober, it takes some time to launch the formula sheet since they're scanned documents. It needs a search bar for fast access to content and a enhanced interface. Besides this, a very useful app.

Gwen Stefani's Sons Are Well-Traveled
Gwen Stefani carried three-month-old son Zuma through Los Angeles International Airport while a nanny toted little Kingston Rossdale, 2.
The family—including Gwen's father, Dennis—returned last night from a vacation in Cabo San Lucas.
However, paparazzi were anticipating Gwen's arrival, and the 38-year-old pop star had to get a police escort to help her and her sons leave the airport.
Unfortunately, the cops didn't arrive before toddler Kingston had been reduced tears in his mother's arms.
Little brother Zuma seems to have kept his cool through the ordeal. The commotion seems to have hardly ruffled his blanket.
Between Cabo, the Beverly Hills Library and a scary Halloween party, baby Zuma sure has been out and about in his little life thus far.
But where was doting dad, 43-year-old Gavin Rossdale? He must be picking up the baggage.

Stay Classy, Michelle McGee
It wasn't enough that Michelle "Bombshell" McGee had an affair with Sandra Bullock's husband, Jesse James — she's got to rub it in the Oscar winner's face every chance she gets. This time, while McGee was at the doctor's office preparing to get Lasik eye surgery, she came across this photo of Sandra in a gossip magazine. Photo op! Ugh. [The Superficial]

The New Orleans Pelicans repeatedly have said that fixing their stale offense has to start with defense.
That was evident Tuesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder, with point guard Jrue Holiday leading the way. Holiday led a second-quarter aggressive defense that buried the Thunder and helped key a big 112-104 victory at Smoothie King Center.
The Pelicans (8-8) ended a three-game losing streak with a tough three-game Western Conference road trip beginning Thursday at Golden State.
"Jrue is good," said Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook. "I know from the past he's able to hold his own and play his game."
Key was Holiday's defense against Thunder All-Star guard Russell Westbrook. Westbrook scored 19 points, but it came on 6-of-17 shooting and he had seven turnovers. Holiday, meanwhile had 16 points, 10 assists, five rebounds, three steals and two blocked shots, clearly bothering Westbrook.
Tyreke Evans closed out the Thunder with 15 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter. However, the Pelicans had three players with double-doubles. Anthony Davis, who will be on the cover of Sports-Illustrated's Dec. 8 issue, had another excellent all-around game, with 25 points, 10 rebounds, six steals and four blocks. Ryan Anderson had 23 points and 11 rebounds off the bench.
Center Omer Asik scored just four points but had 14 rebounds as the Pelicans won that battle, 48-44.
The game marked the return of Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant, the NBA's reigning most valuable player. Durant scored 27 points but he, too, was unable to take over the game. The Thunder (5-13) had won its past two games.
The Pelicans weathered a late storm, as the Thunder cut a once-commanding lead to 87-82 a minute and a half into the fourth quarter behind backup guards Reggie Jackson and Jeremy Lamb.
But the Pelicans responded with defense. Leading 94-85, Davis blocked Jackson's shot, and Evans scored on the break. Davis later got a steal that led to a layup by Evans, and New Orleans was back in command, 100-85 at 6:21.
Davis scored 21 points and grabbed nine rebounds, leading the way as New Orleans surged to a surprising 69-52 halftime lead, besting high-scoring OKC 40-26.
Although Davis led the way with his scoring and all-out play, the key to the Pelicans' first half was the play of point guard Holiday against Westbrook. Westbrook played with extremely high energy in wrecking the New York Knicks with 32 points in 24 minutes on Friday in his first game back after missing a month with a broken index finger. He was in attack mode again, but Holiday cut him off at the pass with his defense, blocking his shot on drives when he wasn't chasing him down and stealing the ball.
Westbrook was held to 2-of-10 shooting, his only saving grace coming on 5-of-6 free-throw shooting.
The teams were tied at 41 at 5:43 of the second quarter when Davis stole an OKC outlet pass and passed to Evans for a layup. When Holiday made a steal and passed to Luke Babbitt for a 3 on the break at 4:11, it pushed the lead to 49-43.
However, it was just 55-50 with 2 ½ minutes left. Holiday steals led to a layup by Evans at 1:31 and a 61-55 lead and a 3-pointer by Anderson at 1:01 and a 64-52 margin. After a three-point play by Davis on a run-out with 33.6 seconds showing, Holiday jacked Westbrook from behind and passed to Davis for a free-throw line jumper with 29 seconds left for the final margin.
Getting stops, getting out on the break, and driving to the basket, New Orleans shot 15-of-19 (51.7 percent) in the quarter and ended the half at 50 percent (25-of-50). The Pelicans had 32 points in the paint to 18 for the Thunder.
However, Oklahoma City made an adjustment at halftime, initiating its offense closer to the free throw line in the third quarter.
The Thunder made shots, going 10-of-23, and that slowed the Pelicans' break and momentum. New Orleans made just four of 18 shots in the quarter, scoring 16 points.
Fortunately for the Pelicans, they played just enough defense to keep it from being totally onesided, and went into the fourth quarter still leading, 85-74. The Pelicans had led by as much as 81-64 in the quarter before simply being outworked down the stretch by a team with big-time playoff experience. That gave OKC a chance entering the fourth.
New Orleans led 29-26 after a cold start. Davis, however, was hot, scoring 11 points and grabbing six rebounds.

Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer: Current Limitations, Future Possibilities
Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer: Current Limitations, Future Possibilities
Drs. Blackstock, Cox, and Tepper have outlined some salient aspects
of the management of pancreatic cancer. I agree with most of their
comments, and will address some issues from my own perspective,
colored largely by a symposium on cancer of the pancreas held
in Newport, Rhode Island, in July 1994. This gathering of a large
nucleus of investigators with a major interest in pancreatic cancer
provided some additional insights that I will explore in my commentary
and that largely complement the points made by Blackstock et al.
Among other issues, my remarks will focus on: (1) the use of molecular
markers for diagnosis and treatment, (2) preoperative chemoradiation,
and (3) some surgical considerations that still generate controversy;
ie, the extent of resection.
The survival rate from cancer of the pancreas is 5% overall [1],
and even in patients with locally resectable pancreatic cancer,
surgical resection has been reported to yield 5-year survival
rates no better than 10% to 25% [2]. In the National Cancer Data
Base report involving 17,970 patients with pancreatic cancer,
the 5-year survival rate was 12% in patients with resectable pancreatic
cancer, opposed to 4% in those with unresectable disease [2].
Although several groups have recorded higher survival rates (19%
to 24%) [3,18-21], these are still exceptions and not the
rule. The higher survival rates may reflect more selective staging
and resectability criteria at some centers, among other factors.
In resected patients, factors associated with a significantly
shorter median survival include tumor size more than 2 cm, blood
vessel invasion, and lymph node metastasis [3]. The absence or
presence of nodal metastasis is the single best predictor of survival.
Patients without nodal metastases have a median survival of 56
months, as compared with 11 months for those with metastatic disease
(P less than .05) [3].
Molecular Pathology and Chromosomal Abnormalities
Recent studies of molecular pathology and chromosomal abnormalities
in pancreatic cancer have provided additional information about
the pathogenesis of this cancer beyond that afforded by classical
pathology. Allison and colleagues [4] measured the DNA content
of pancreatic cancers in patients who had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy
and determined that 60% of primary tumors were aneuploid. Ploidy
was the single most important predictor of long-term survival
(10.5 months for aneuploid tumors vs 25 months for diploid tumors)
Direct chromosomal analysis has yielded additional clues to the
specific genes involved in the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer.
Studies using a panel of molecular probes specific for each chromosome
arm have provided techniques for precise allotype mapping, allowing
one to survey gene pairs for allelic loss. Studies by Seymour
et al [5] and Hahn et al [6] showed high frequencies of loss at
1p, 6p, 6q, 8p, 9p, 10p, 10q, 12p, 12q, 17p, 18q, 21q, and 22
q. The loss of one allele of the tumor- suppressor gene results
in the loss of gene function if the second copy is mutated. Thus,
the tumor-suppressor gene p53, located on the short arm of chromosome
17 (17p), was lost in 95% of the cancers studied by Hahn et al
[6]. The "deleted in colon cancer" tumor-suppressor
gene (DCC) located on the long arm of chromosome 18 (18q) and
a recently characterized multiple tumor suppressor 1 (MTS 1) gene,
which resides on chromosome 9p, were lost in 88% and 76% of the
cancers, respectively.
In addition to loss of tumor-suppressor genes, K-ras abnormalities
and related oncogenes are commonly expressed in pancreatic cancer.
K-ras, H-ras, and N-ras encode G proteins, which are involved
in signal transduction [7]. Point mutations in codons 12, 13,
and 61 of K-ras inactivate the protein product by interfering
with its GTPase activity [7]. Approximately 80% of pancreatic
cancers contain activating point mutations in codon 12 [8]. The
mutated K-ras expressed in pancreatic cancer was more prevalent
in tumors obtained from smokers than from nonsmokers (88% vs 68%),
suggesting that carcinogens in cigarette smoke may be related
to the K-ras mutations in these patients. The finding of K-ras
mutations in hyperplastic "pancreatic duct lesions"
appears to be analogous to the increased prevalence of K-ras mutations
among intermediate adenomas in the model of colorectal tumor progression
[9]. This finding suggests that these duct lesions may be precursors
to pancreatic cancer.
Screening for K-ras Mutations Has Potential
It may be possible to take advantage of these abnormalities in
screening for early disease because K-ras mutations are virtually
restricted to a single codon (codon 12). An assay based on identification
of K-ras mutations, which appears to occur prior to the development
of invasive cancer, should be able to detect pancreatic cancers
and offer sensitive methods for screening.
Tada et al collected pancreatic juice endoscopically from patients
with pancreatic cancer and from control patients with chronic
pancreatitis or choledocholithiasis [10]. K-ras mutations were
detected in the pancreatic juice from all six cancer patients
studied but from none of the controls. Of interest, K-ras mutations
could also be detected in circulating cells in the peripheral
blood of some patients with pancreatic cancer [10].
Caldas et al have extended these studies and screened for K-ras
mutations in the stools of patients with clinical pancreatitis,
cholangiocarcinoma, and pancreatic cancer [11]. They found K-ras
mutations in stool specimens from nine patients, six of whom had
pancreatic cancer. In five cases, mutations found in the pancreatic
tumor itself were the same as those found in the stool. In the
remaining four patients, the mutations identified were identical
to those isolated from intraductal lesions present in the resected
pancreatic specimen. These data suggest that mutations found in
pancreatic cancers and intraductal pancreatic lesions may be detected
in the stool [11]. These researchers are currently testing for
K-ras in stool specimens from a large number of patients; this
approach may have potential as a screening test for early pancreatic
As Blackstock et al discuss, K-ras may represent a target for
therapeutic intervention using farnesyl transferase inhibitors
(FTIs). These compounds inhibit attachment of the 15-carbon isoprenyl
group, which is necessary for attachment of ras with the cell
membrane and for ras-mediated transformation. By preventing
the joining of the mutant K-ras with the cell membrane, FTIs may
interrupt signals leading to cell proliferation in established
pancreatic cancer.
Relationship of p53 Mutations to Pathogenesis
Tumor-suppressor gene abnormalities also play an important role
in the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer. Mutations of p53 are
found in over half of primary pancreatic cancers [12,13] and correlate
well with allelic loss of 17p. Thus, p53 mutations may precede
the development of invasive cancer. Several groups have found
overexpression of p53 product, a marker for p53 mutations, in
intraductal lesions in the pancreas [14,15]. The expression of
mutated p53 and K-ras in the same tumors suggests some association
between these two gene abnormalities. There also appears to be
a correlation of mutated p53 with tumor grade and decreased survival
in patients with pancreatic cancer [15].
Potential Impact of New Diagnostic Technologies
It is obvious that the greatest impact on survival in pancreatic
cancer will probably come from earlier diagnosis. New technology,
such as fast spiral CT using dynamic intravenous contrast, has
resulted in high-resolution images of small masses, which has
improved the accuracy of vascular staging [16]. Endoscopic retrograde
cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with improved cytology, brushes,
and biopsy forceps should enhance preoperative diagnosis of this
malignancy. Endoscopic ultrasound also may help detect small lesions
and determine the depth of invasion and vascular involvement.
The potential for vastly improved MRI images with three-dimensional
reconstruction (MRI with cholangiopancreatography) may permit
earlier diagnosis and management of these patients.
Unfortunately, screening for pancreatic cancer is not yet feasible.
A Japanese screening study of 10,162 persons over 40 years of
age with Ca 19-9 and elastase-1 or ultrasonography revealed only
four cases (P = 0.042) of pancreatic cancer, including
only one patient who was operated on for cure [17].
When pancreatic cancer is suspected, imaging with CT or the more
sensitive spiral CT, plus CT-directed FNA cytology and ERCP with
brushings should result in a definitive diagnosis. Although CT-guided
FNA is probably now the most common method of performing the biopsy,
it is controversial because of the potential risk of peritoneal
contamination [30].
Evans et al have examined the effect of preoperative CT-guided
FNA on the cytologic washings obtained a median of 3 weeks later
[30]. Among 60 consecutive patients who had peritoneal lavage
for cytology, 49 (82%) had CT-guided FNA, and 11 did not. Peritoneal
washings yielded four patients (6.6%) with positive cytology;
3 of 49 patients (6.1%) had undergone preoperative CT-FNA and
1 of 11 (9.1%) did not. All four patients developed metastatic
disease about 5 months later, suggesting that this was simply
due to advanced disease rather than being secondary to the FNA.
The value of laparoscopy as a staging technique has long been
championed by Warshaw et al [32], as well by Evans and the M.D.
Anderson group [30]. Laparoscopy permits direct visualization
of the liver, the serosal surface, and provides opportunity for
peritoneal cytology. With care, one can examine the porta hepatis,
the peripancreatic region, and in some cases examine and biopsy
accessible peripancreatic nodes. Laparoscopy also permits placement
of a tube jejunostomy and cholecystojejunostomy as needed, if
preoperative therapy is planned.

BMC Racing Team's Cadel Evans won Thursday's stage of the Giro del Trentino and increased his overall lead with one day of the race to go.
Teamwork Played Vital Role
Evans earned his second victory of the season by pulling away with an attack in the last kilometer of the uphill finish of the 184.4-km race. Domenico Pozzovivo (AG2R La Mondiale) finished second, three seconds later, followed by Mikel Landa and Michele Scarponi (both of Astana Pro Team) nine seconds later. The past Tour de France winner and world road champion now leads Pozzovivo by 45 seconds and Tiago Machado (NetApp-Endura) by 59 seconds with another mountain-top finish looming at the end of Friday's 175-km stage. "I counted on the team all the way until really the last climb with two-and-a-half kilometers to go," Evans said. "Martin Kohler, Daniel Oss, Steve Morabito, Brent Bookwalter, Sebastian Lander and Rick Zabel were really good. They did all the work until the third last climb. Then Brent and Yannick (Eijssen) and Steve took over and put me in a good position for the stage. Then it was up to me. That's what you get for being patient and working hard."
'Many Attacks At One Moment'
With a fourth-place finish on Wednesday's stage, Evans had assumed the lead from teammate Daniel Oss after the BMC Racing Team won Tuesday's Stage 1 team time trial. Controlling Thursday's stage was not easy, BMC Racing Team Sport Director Fabio Baldato said. "The race was really hard and there were so many attacks at one moment that the guys decided to let a group of 11 go," he said. "But I saw our team was strong mentally. They were really focused and motivated. Cadel did an amazing final. He did that because he saw the team was really strong all day and really organized." Evans said he remains focused on conserving his lead on the verge of winning his first multi-day race since the 2012 Critérium International. "It is important for us to think about the GC (general classification) and what we have to do as a team and what I have to do with that as an individual," he said.
Listen to complete comments from Baldato and Evans, as well as the post-race press conference (in Italian) on the BMC Racing Team Audio Line:

When using Vista and Excel 2007, Everytime I open a Workbook (.xls usually) I notice that Excel also opens up a Personal.xlsb file. This doesn't really get in the way but it is really annoying when I try to close excel. I have to do it twice to also close out the Personal.xlsb too. It does interfer with code that will Quit excel if only 1 workbook is open otherwise only close the 1 workbook.I can always change the workbook count to 2 but that can potentially cause problems. Is there a way to determine if that Personal.xlsb file is empty and not being used? What the heck is this even used for?VB:Sub WorkBookClose() If Application.Workbooks.Count <= 1 Then ThisWorkbook.RunAutoMacros Which:=xlAutoClose Application.Quit Else ThisWorkbook.RunAutoMacros Which:=xlAutoClose ThisWorkbook.Close False End If End Sub
I don't want to force a close on a workbook that someone is working on or a workbook that might be important. I've not heard of the .xlsb file type before and could use a little advise. Is there a way to stop it from opening automatically or is there a good way to deal with it. The only other thing I can think of is something like this:This still doesn't stop the need to have to hit the Top Right X Twice to Close out Excel unless I use the same code also in a beforeClose Event. Any suggestions or advise? Thank YouVB:Sub WorkBookCloseV2() Dim wbBook As Workbook If Application.Workbooks.Count <= 2 Then For Each wbBook In Application.Workbooks If wbBook.Name = "PERSONAL.XLSB" Then ThisWorkbook.RunAutoMacros Which:=xlAutoClose Application.Quit End If Next End If ThisWorkbook.RunAutoMacros Which:=xlAutoClose ThisWorkbook.Close False End Sub
If you don't need it, delete it.
Well that just fixed my whole problem. Thanks Dave
For those still having trouble finding their PERSONAL workbooks...
That path doesn't exist on my computer (running XP with Excel 2002 SP3); there is no "Users" folder on my C: drive.
The path to my Personal workbook is:
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\PERSONAL.XLS
(I don't/didn't have a .XLSB version)
Doesnt it hold any global macros/vba codes you have created? Deleting it will delete those procedures.
It varies by version of Windows, obviously with Excel 2000 it would not be Personal.xlsb. 2000 does not support that extension, it would be personal.xls. Only versions since 2007 will have .xlsb
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\PERSONAL.XLS

Retailers hold the "ultimate responsibility" for making sure that horsemeat is not in their products, environment secretary Owen Paterson said today.
After attending an emergency meeting with bosses from leading supermarkets and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) to discuss the scandal, Mr Paterson said retailers would have to start doing their own testing.
"Ultimate responsibility for the integrity of what is sold on their label has to lie with the retailer", Mr Paterson said.
Mr Paterson said that during this morning's talks the supermarkets agreed to work with the FSA to report their test results on a quarterly basis.
Mr Paterson said investigations would find whether "either gross incompetence or criminal acts" were at fault.
He warned of a possible "international criminal conspiracy" being behind the scandal.
"If there's a criminal act we will work with the authorities wherever they are to ensure the appropriate measures are taken," he added.
"It's a straight fraud. If a product says it's beef and you're actually buying horse, that is a fraud.
"It is in the interests of everyone to get this resolved as rapidly as possible."
Bosses from leading supermarkets including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrisons attended the meeting at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) in London.
The talks come as frozen food company Findus UK reiterated its apology after tests found up to 100% horse meat in some of its beef lasagnes.
Supermarket chain Aldi confirmed that two of its ready meal ranges produced by Comigel, the French supplier also used by Findus, were found to contain between 30% and 100% horse meat.
And last night, the issue became a police matter as Scotland Yard announced they had met representatives from the FSA.

The following is from a statement issued by the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence. The Portsmouth Police Department has not released the name of the victim from today's fatal stabbing on a RIPTA bus.
First and foremost, our hearts go out to the family, friends and community of Terry L. Chiodo.
While her death marks the first murder to occur in Portsmouth in a decade and Rhode Island's first domestic violence murder in 2013, it is also a stark reminder that we have a long way to go to achieve a Rhode Island that is free of domestic violence.
Even in a community that is known for its safety, domestic violence does happen behind closed doors every day by abusers who seek to control their partners—murder is often their final act of abuse. It is important to remember that these acts are not isolated incidents; they are part of a public health crisis whether they happen in the home or on a bus.
Domestic violence is, however, preventable; it escalates to the point of murder because our system has failed to either keep a victim safe or hold an abuser accountable. In this case, we know that the perpetrator and ex-husband of Chiodo, Christopher James, has a lengthy criminal record and history of domestic violence charges that were dismissed.
We commend the bravery of two bystanders who took action to detain James and hope the other victims – the passengers and driver of the bus – recover from this tragedy. Unfortunately, bystanders are often hurt when domestic violence situations escalate and we urge all Rhode Islanders to join us in saying NO MORE to this kind of abuse.
We also commend the Portsmouth police for identifying this fatal stabbing as a domestic violence murder. It is our responsibility as a community to address this abuse and the high dismissal rates of domestic violence cases in general. James had several cases of domestic abuse dismissed during the last two decades and had been arrested twenty times in different cities throughout Rhode Island.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also recognizes that intimate partner violence [and domestic violence] is a serious, preventable public health problem that affects millions of Americans. On average, 24 people per minute are victims of rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in the United States—more than 12 million women and men over the course of a year. And in Rhode Island, 29.9 percent of women and 19.3 percent of men, experience some form of domestic abuse in their lifetime.
To prevent another tragedy, we all must make a commitment to reach out to anyone who we suspect is in an abusive situation: listen and express your concerns without judging; ask what can I do to help; and stay supportive of the partner being abused, even if you disagree with her/his choices.
Domestic violence happens in every community, and no one is immune to it. The good news is that help is available. There are six local domestic violence agencies in our state that provide a wide array of services, including 24 hour hotline support, emergency shelter, support groups and assistance with the legal system. All Rhode Islanders should remember that if they hear or see someone being hurt to call 911 immediately and if they or someone they know needs support to call the statewide Helpline at 800-494-8100.

It could also simply be user error, I am not used to the Kindle interface. I think I was using a long press like I do on my T-1, rather than a double tap like the 350 uses.
You (or I, inspired by your report) have discovered an interesting behavior (or 'bug' if you prefer): when you first open a book, you cannot immediately select text with tap-and-hold. That gesture will be ignored (as will a pinch gesture to adjust text size). I don't know if this is what you found 'excruciating' but thought it was interesting to note.
But once you get one gesture out of the way ('successful' or not), all the gestures work as intended. Looking up a word is just a matter of a tap and brief hold (perhaps a third of a second, so if you say 'one thou-sand' to count off a second, you can lift after saying 'one') on the word. Nothing will happen until you lift your finger off (Kindle is waiting to see if you want to extend the selection).
On the Sony you don't have to lift your finger before stuff happens, but you still have to tap and hold. So there is some delay there as well. If I were to guess, you were holding longer than needed and thus you were simply preventing Kindle from doing your bidding.

Motorola has already charted plans for up to 2015: 6-inch phablet and a smartwatch rumored
The Chinese company is likely to first have to release all the planned Motorola devices before clearing its pipeline and being able to release brand new, Lenovo-designed Motorola gadgets. It's not clear how long Motorola's pipeline is, but we'd bet on at least a year.
Interestingly, rumor has it that Lenovo will also not change the customization options that Motorola offers with Moto Maker. It could, however, swap the place where most of this customization happens.
We should make it clear that all of this information comes from a Chinese source with a good track record on Motorola, having accurately predicted a lot of the features of the Moto X and Moto G before they arrived to market. Nonetheless, this is still a rumor, so take it with the usual grain of salt.

Good Luck MotoNovo...... Just don't use the crappy MTK chips on your Moto devices, STAY with Qualcomm.
2. Finalflash (Posts: 3527; Member since: 23 Jul 2013)
Lol, they're aiming for the big game and they've said it. They'll have better luck with Moto than Google because the latter had to fight with one arm tied behind their back. Hopefully they keep making inroads into ergonomics and battery life unlike other useless things like pushing for size or thinness.

Lenovorola is much better....catches the rythm:D:D:D
Btw its a great news.... I'm more happy for Motorola now than I was tomorrow....

Million dollar idea.... someone should create a list of idioms specifically to express skepticism. That way, every article on here wouldn't need to end with "take it with a grain of salt".
I can't handle that much sodium.

Why 2015? So many other companies have announced ~6" phablets already...
I've always wanted to see a Moto X Fab and a Moto G Fab, but... 2015 is pretty long time to wait.
10. WindowsiDroid (Posts: 138; Member since: 22 Jul 2013)
"Up to 2015." Not "For 2015", Did you even read the headline?
11. hurrycanger (Posts: 1625; Member since: 01 Dec 2013)
I did
"Motorola has already charted plans for up to 2015"
Doesn't that mean something like "Motorola has charted plans for both 2014 and 2015" already ?
Well, you get a point though. The article didn't say the phablet will be announce in 2015.

Interestingly, rumor has it that Lenovo will also not change the customization options that Motorola offers with Moto Maker. It could, however, swap the place where most of this customization happens.
YAY... Customization option for Asian countries too...
What 6" Phablet in 2015? WHY?
At that time 6" may become a size of NORMAL phones like S6... And 7.5" may be tha size of Phablets at 2015...

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/1/2013 (1673 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
STONEWALL -- She's been a junior champion and women's champion. She's been a provincial champion and Canadian champion and world champion.
Cathy Overton-Clapham, in other words, has been just about everything you could be in curling -- except easy pickings.
Until now.
In what was supposed to be a fresh start after what's so far been a terrible season for her squad, it was instead more of the same Wednesday as Overton-Clapham opened her quest for a record-breaking eighth Manitoba women's title with a pair of stunning losses at the 2013 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
Overton-Clapham -- the third seed this week -- fell behind early and never recovered en route to an ugly 7-3 loss to Pinawa's 11th-seeded Colleen Kilgallen in her opening game. And then things went from bad to worse Wednesday night when she lost 7-6 to Brandon's Stacey Fordyce.
In an event where one loss is often all you can afford to make and still advance to the weekend playoff round, Overton-Clapham already has two after just one day -- and with all the heavy lifting still in front of her.
And so it goes for Overton-Clapham in a season in which her team -- third Ashley Howard, second Jenna Loder and lead Breanne Meakin -- has failed to qualify for the playoffs in their last six events on the World Curling Tour.
"I've played a long time so you'd think I'd have all the little secrets," Overton-Clapham joked, "but we're not finding them right now."
Part of the problem, Overton-Clapham says, is just the continuing growing pains of a team that was put together from scratch last year.
Those pains were in evidence earlier this month when, after missing last year's Scotties playoffs and then struggling through this season's cashspiels, the decision was made to give Howard a chance to play third and switch Loder from third to second.
That's a dramatic position switch, particularly this late in an Olympic cycle and especially for a team that still has high hopes of being one of the eight women's teams who will be competing at the MTS Centre next December for the right to represent Canada in curling at the Sochi Olympics next year.
Overton-Clapham said she was hoping the position switch might light a spark, but the immediate results -- the team went just 1-4 at a bonspiel in Switzerland earlier this month -- suggests there will be no quick fix.
Howard -- who, as the daughter of Canadian curling icon Russ Howard, is no stranger to being around curling greatness -- said prior to Wednesday night's loss that she retains faith that Overton-Clapham will, as she has so many times before, rise to this occasion.
"This hasn't been the season we dreamed up or even the start we dreamed up here," said Howard. "But there's something about Cathy. She'll be here and we'll still be in this thing."
Howard has history to support her contention. With seven Manitoba women's championships on her resumé, Overton-Clapham with a victory here on Sunday would become the winningest curler in the history of the Manitoba women's provincials. (She is currently tied with Janet Arnott, coach of the Jennifer Jones squad).
Howard also has support of another kind here this week. Her father, Russ, a two-time world champion and the 2006 Olympic gold medallist, flew into Winnipeg this week to support his daughter's squad and diagnosed some problems almost immediately.
"He stepped off the airplane," Howard recounted, "and he fixed things I didn't even know were broken in my delivery. He knows me so well. It's great to have him around. He's a great resource."
Howard joked that her travels this month down the Overton-Clapham lineup from second to third is just a logical evolution given her surname. "Howards can't sweep so we're just slowly moving down the line," she said with a laugh.
Overton-Clapham is in the same eight-team pool here this week as second-seeded Chelsea Carey, who split her opening two games on Wednesday. Darcy Robertson and Kilgallen, who also upset Carey on opening day, lead the pool at 2-0.
The top two teams in each pool at the end of the round robin on Saturday advance to the playoffs.

MeiMei Fox is a life coach, writer and recognized social media expert whose philosophy is "Love More, Fear Less". She's one of the most inspiring women I've met, combining these multiple roles with grace and incredible warmth toward others. In 2009 she traveled with Alexandra Cousteau's Blue Planet Expedition to India, Botswana, the Middle East and beyond. I was curious how this experience changed her attitude to acquiring and owning possessions, so I persuaded MeiMei to share more:
Tell me how you came to live with so little, for so many months?
I was the writer for the Blue Planet Expedition, which spent 3 months exploring critical water issues around the globe. Following that, I did some personal travel and was also on the road for interviews for a book I was writing. In total, I lived out of two suitcases and a backpack for a year.
What were your essentials during that year?
I relied heavily on technology: bill pay and financial records were all online. So, my laptop and smartphone were essential. The clothes and toiletries in those two suitcases were more than enough – I really didn't need more. I've always been a bit of a minimalist.
You've spent some time in France. How are attitudes to clothing different there?
French women spend big on a few staple pieces of clothing: nice black pants, a black skirt, some black heels. They invest in those and plan to wear them for five years, changing things up with accessories or a one-season top. After all, do you really need more than one pair of jeans, if they're a good pair? In France, it's OK to repeat a piece of your outfit in the same week.
Have you acquired more stuff, since you came back?
I did have some furniture and my bicycle in storage, so obviously I needed those once I settled in San Francisco. Beyond that, I subscribe to the approach of getting rid of old things when I buy something new. The trip also made me more conscious of buying stuff: if I ask myself, "Do I really need this?", the answer is often No. It's environmentally responsible, too. I don't believe in giving "things" to others, either. I'd rather create an experience for them, and it doesn't have to cost a lot: pack a picnic and take a hike together, for instance.
If your home was on fire, what two things would you grab?
Without a doubt, my computer or backup drive, whichever was in reach. That has all my photos, music and most of my writing on it. Then, I have a box of journals going back 20 years – I'd save that if at all possible.
So, you still keep a paper journal?
I've recently switched to online journaling and a friend introduced me to 750words.com. I had always thought I'm a pen and paper girl and that I'd never transition. But I didn't want to accumulate more and more physical journals: now it's all online, backed up, and searchable. And I type way faster than I write. I'm so happy I switched!
To learn more about MeiMei, visit her website or find her on Twitter. You can also join her upcoming retreat in Costa Rica from March 5-12, for a wonderful blend of yoga and volunteering, to benefit the Surf for Life Foundation.
If you're in the SF Bay Area and would like friendly, confidential Professional Organizing help to turn chaos into calm, contact me to take the first step toward a sorted, stylish space.

The Electromagnetics of Theory C and Theory N
An elucidation and extension of Ivor Catt's Theory C(att) by Forrest Bishop
The purposes of this website include refuting the old, conventional electromagnetic theory (Theory N), independently from that introducing and extending a replacement theory of electricity and magnetism (Theory C), and of preserving the ancient record.
"'Theory C' is one of
the greatest advances in the history of science, and is experiencing the same
kind of obstruction as that experienced by Lavoisier's oxidation, getting rid
of phlogiston, and the attempt to get rid of caloric."—Ivor Catt,
We begin with the most important electromagnetics paper of the 20th Century, all two pages of it
at http://www.ivorcatt.com/2635.htm and at http://www.ivorcatt.org/icrwiworld78dec1.htm
"This is the historic first disclosure, in December, 1978, of research findings by Catt, Davidson and Walton."
"The flaw in this model [Theory N —FB] is revealed when we notice that the electric current entered the capacitor at one point only on the capacitor plate. We must then explain how the electric charge flowing down the wire suddenly distributes itself uniformly across the whole capacitor plate. We know that this cannot happen since the charge cannot flow out across the plate at a velocity in excess of the velocity of light." –Catt, Davidson, Walton, 1978
Some animations of how 'electricity' works. I did these at Ivor Catt's house in May, 2006, with Ivor's consultation. I have never seen anything like this before.
"The Catt Question"
"'Electricity' is the last of the medaeval
fluids. Its downfall came when mass was attributed to it."—Ivor Catt,
"The Catt Question" is in regard to a two-wire transmission line in conventional electromagnetic theory (Theory N). See figures 1, 2, and 3 at http://www.ivorcatt.com/1_1.htm
The wires may be any length, as the load at the other end does not enter into the Question. We are looking at the time period between the closing of the two switches of Figure 3, and before the 'electricity' can reach the load. Notice that a battery and two wires are a two-wire transmission line.
Two switches are used simply to make the visualization easier. When the (DPST) switches are closed, 'electricity' from the battery will move at the speed of light toward the right. A 'current', 'i', moves in one direction on one wire. An equal and opposite electric current, '-i', moves the other direction, according to Figure 1. These each cause magnetic fields to encircle the wires as shown.
Behind this transient electricity wavefront, we measure a voltage, equal to the battery voltage, under Theory N. To right of the wavefront there is no voltage difference (assume the wires were e.g. previously grounded or whatever). Therefore, there is an electric field, expressed either as flux, or strength, or displacement, between the two wires to the left of the wavefront. This is shown in Figure 1 as the arrows marked 'D' (for displacement). The feet of the arrows terminate on the positive charges, '+q', on the upper wire. The heads of the arrows terminate on the negative charges, '-q', on the lower wire. This is standard practice. Figure 2 is a qualitative end-view of the electric field of Figure 1, behind the wavefront. Notice in particular, that is does not matter what the ramp-up profile of the wavefront was- maybe it's a step, or a triangle, or something else. In all cases, we will see instantaneous fields as in Figure 2, at each point along the wires in Figure 1.
In order for this transverse electric field to exist, there has to be an excess of negative electric charge transported toward the battery on the upper wire, and an excess of negative charge transported toward the wavefront on the lower wire. Otherwise, there would not be any possible voltage difference between the two wires.
The Catt Question:
Where does the negative charge come from on the lower wire?
Some net-something has to move at the speed of light, or else something has to violate Gauss.

HTC Touch Pro To Hit U.S., Eventually
Sounds awesome, right? But the Touch Pro being announced now isn't for North America and in fact won't work on our high-speed networks. We'll get a version, but we'll have to wait until "later in 2008."
Rumor sites have said that the version of the Touch Pro we get may be quite different from the one HTC is announcing today. HTC has a habit of introducing some of their products on our CDMA networks, Sprint and Verizon, with different specs than the European versions. That happened, for instance, with the original Touch - Sprint got it several months later than Europe, but at double the processor speed. You win some , you lose some.
This does set up a rollicking Christmas season this year. AT&T and possibly T-Mobile will have the Blackberry Bold, AT&T will have the new iPhone (being announced next week!), and whoever HTC decides to deal with will have the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro with Windows Mobile. It's a good year for smart phones.
For the full skinny, check out HTC's site.

Edit: After half day, my wife's Mac started having the same problem. I have then applied the solution that I found in the Apple
Figures Reveal 52% Have Upgraded To iOS 8
Last month Apple reported that 46% of iOS users have upgraded to iOS 8 and now, new figures have been revealed that 52% have upgraded.
Last month Apple released iOS 8 to the public and now it has revealed that over 52% have upgraded to the new operating system.
The percentages on the App Store Distribution page specifically reveal the number of devices that visit the App Store on a given date.
So they don't provide a full picture of iOS 8 adoption but at least offer the measurement officially recorded by Apple.
Data from fellow mobile analytics firm Fiksu showed a slightly lower adoption rate for iOS 8. As of Monday, Fiksu's figures cited iOS 8 with a 48.5 percent share and iOS 7 with 43 percent.
The numbers reported by Apple and the mobile analytic's firms don't distinguish between people who upgrade their existing devices to iOS 8 and those who buy new iPhone's and iPads already equipped with the new version.

Marymount's Internship and Mentoring Program started with just two interns, and as of this summer, the program sponsors 50 girls in 19 internships with locations throughout Los Angeles. The program fosters personal growth through involvement in a community of scholars and other leaders. Participants learn to contribute to society through the public and private lives of leadership, service, integrity, and creativity.
Marymount's internship program provides students opportunities to work with extraordinary leaders who are not only role models, but who have made important contributions ranging from neuroscience, STEM fields, and art conservation to animation, public policy, and public health, in sites throughout the Los Angeles area.
On why she why she developed and grew the internship program, Head of Marymount High School, Jacqueline L. Landry notes, "When a girl has access to a mentor, the impact on her future is unparalleled. At this stage in her life, a girl needs to see and to be encouraged by leaders and to have experience in 'real world' settings as she seeks to discover her unique future path."
This year, Marymount students will be learning from leaders at the Department of Homeland Security, The Getty Conservation Institute, the LMU School of Film and Television, various research and medical departments at UCLA, the Pink Lotus Breast Center, CO Architects, Inspire Entertainment and the Torrance Courthouse. In addition, several students are pursuing advanced studies, participating in the following programs: the WEBB Schools' Global Leadership Program, Adventures of the Mind, COSMOS, and the Brain Research Institute's 2014 NeuroCamp at UCLA.

The divorce between the 'Not Myself Tonight' singer and her husband of five years is finalized on April 15 after the required six-month waiting period comes to an end.
After nearly five years of marriage, Christina Aguilera is officially divorced from her music executive husband, Jordan Bratman. Court records show that the divorce was finalized by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge on Friday morning, April 15 after the six-month waiting period required in California finally came to an end.
30-year-old Christina announced her separation from Jordan, with whom she has a three-year-old son named Max, back in October 2010. In a statement released via People Magazine, she said at the time, "Although Jordan and I are separated, our commitment to our son Max remains as strong as ever." Two days after the announcement, she filed for divorce in the Superior Court of California.
In the divorce petition, the "Burlesque" songstress cited "irreconcilable differences" as reason for the divorce and listed September 11 as the date of the separation. The documents also uncovered that the couple have a pre-nuptial agreement and that Christina is seeking joint physical and legal custody of their child.
Christina has since her separation from Jordan been dating Matthew Rutler. The singer and her boyfriend have reportedly paid a visit to his hometown of Newport, Rhode Island recently. Life & Style claimed during the stay, they checked into the Hyatt Regency Newport. A friend of Matt said, "I was told it was because she needed room service 24-7. And I know that when they left town, they flew out on her private jet."

The place where the story of Bettys began nearly 100 years ago
You have no items in your shopping basket.
Everything was wonderful: the food was gorgeous and the waitress was the best - she made us feel so at home. We'd definitely come back.
The story of Bettys began in 1919 when our founder, Frederick Belmont, opened his first Bettys Café Tea Room in the fashionable spa town of Harrogate
The combination of mouth-watering Swiss confectionery and Yorkshire warmth and hospitality in such an elegant setting proved irresistible. Bettys was an instant success. Nearly 100 years on, Bettys Harrogate remains as popular as ever. Providing a wonderful relaxed setting for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and evening meals, Bettys offers one of the best spots in town to enjoy the beauty of the town's surroundings.
From the swathes of crocuses which herald the spring, through to the autumn colours, the Stray is always a delight, and a window table at Bettys is the best place to enjoy it. You'll also discover our shop where you will be spoilt for choice with over 300 breads, cakes and chocolates, as well as 50 different teas and coffees, and a small delicatessen section with pastries, salads and soups.
Whether you are looking for a hearty English breakfast, a light bite for lunch or a three-course meal, your day out wouldn't be complete without a visit to Bettys.
We also offer a traditional afternoon tea for those looking for something extra special. A silver cake stand brimming with traditional sandwiches, delicious fancies and fresh scones, amounts to a quintessentially English treat you won't forget.
With a large Café Tea Rooms, a Café Bar, and a private dining area to choose from, Bettys is the perfect venue for a range of occasions.
The tables by the windows overlooking the Stray and colourful Montpellier gardens are always very popular, but in our downstairs Spindler Gallery you can enjoy views of Yorkshire of a more unusual kind.
Here you'll find a collection of exquisite Marquetry scenes of Yorkshire from the studio of Charles Spindler in Alsace, which was established in the late 1890s at the height of the Art Nouveau period.
Available all day, choose from our breakfast specialities, sandwiches/light dishes, a traditional afternoon tea or a three-course meal. Our unique selection of specialty teas, coffees and wines is available.
Bettys Harrogate can also provide a wonderful venue for every occasion, including business meetings, birthday parties, cocktail parties, afternoon teas and wedding receptions. With unrivalled views over Montpellier Gardens, The Imperial Suite can cater for up to 80 guests for breakfast, lunch or dinner or 100 guests for cocktail parties.
Or our Imperial Meeting Room is ideal for smaller private meetings or more intimate lunches/dinners for up to 20 guests, or cocktail parties up to 40 guests. Our menus combine flair and creativity with an emphasis on using only the freshest seasonal produce, bought locally. We can create bespoke menus, from canapés to four-course dinners, and Bettys classics such as Afternoon Tea.
For more information view our Private & Party Hire page.
Our Café Bar is reminiscent of the informal style of dining found in the cosmopolitan cities of Switzerland, Italy and France. Displayed in the counter where you place your order are a selection of classic pastries to accompany your morning coffee. You'll also find continental-style open sandwiches and filled rolls for the perfect lunchtime treat, and stunning handmade cakes, tortes and patisserie that will tempt you throughout the day.
The Montpellier Café Bar is also open in the evening, serving our full Spring Menu, ideal with a cup of coffee, pot of tea or even a deliciously chilled white wine – the perfect way to end your busy day.

We've seen Russell Brand's in underwear before, but that was on the set of a movie about Batman's pubic hair. This time around, he's in Miami sans-Katy Perry over the weekend where he apparently hung out outside his hotel room doing yoga in his underwear all day. Although, in his defense, the man's a sex addict, so it's either that or bang the obese Katy Perry double he carries around. Which isn't cheating by the way. If it looks like your wife, but heavier, that's a symbol of love and devotion more than anything else. "See, baby? I told you I'd still find you attractive if you got fat. And you thought I wasn't paying attention all those times. Ha! You."

Hornsey College of Art
Hornsey College of Art (a.k.a. Hornsey School of Art) is a former college centred on Crouch End in the London Borough of Haringey, England. The HCA was "an iconic British art institution, renowned for its experimental and progressive approach to art and design education".[1]
The college was founded in 1880 as the Hornsey School of Arts by Charles Swinstead, an artist and teacher who lived at Crouch End, Hornsey. During the inter-war years the schools curriculum was composed of Fine Art, Advertising Design and Industrial Applied Art. It bravely continued its day-time classes during World War II and was one of only two London art schools that did not vacate the capital during the blitz.
It became Hornsey College of Arts and Crafts in 1955. It survived until 1973 as a named entity, when it joined Enfield Technical College and Hendon Technical College to become Middlesex Polytechnic. The Polytechnic later became Middlesex University.
The 1968 sit-in[edit]
During 1968, the college was the scene of protests when students occupied the Crouch End Hill site.[2] Students attending the multi-site college convened to discuss the withdrawal of Student Union funds and resolved to sit-in. During this period they effected a temporary administration of the college, and called for major and consultative review of the art curriculum, supported by sympathetic academic staff and visiting artists. They offered a major critique of the education system at the time.[3] Some of these documents were presented as part of a project called The Hornsey Project. The college was repossessed by local authorities at the beginning of the summer break.
Hornsey achieved notoriety because of the scale of the all night protests and sit-ins, which were copied in similar art schools around the UK. During the six weeks that the sit-in lasted, Hornsey became the focus of debate about the method of art education and teaching in Britain. Hornsey was, and still is, afforded the blame for these disturbances that swept the student fraternity nationwide.[citation needed]
Kim Howells, a student and Nick Wright, then President of the Students' Union on a sabbatical year, initiated the sit-in.[citation needed] Howells later became a trade union official and a Minister in Tony Blair's government. After the protests, Tom Nairn, then a sociology lecturer, was dismissed from the college.[4]
"The Hornsey Affair", a book by students and staff at Hornsey, was published in 1969 by Penguin Books.[3] [1] A documentary film, Our Live Experiment is Worth More Than 3,000 Textbooks, about the Hornsey sit-in was directed by John Goldschmidt for Granada Television and transmitted in 1969.
