If Comic-Con is an economic superhero — Batman, say — a new study finds that San Diego's craft beer industry is as powerful as Batman and Robin.
"The economic impact of our breweries is more than one-and-a-half times larger than Comic-Con," said Vince Vasquez, a senior policy analyst with National University.
Vasquez, author of an independent study that was released Monday, reported that the county's breweries accounted for an estimated $299.5 million in wages, capital expenses and contracts in 2011, the last year with complete statistics.
That same year, the direct economic impact of Comic-Con — a five-day pop culture celebration that is the county's largest convention — was pegged at $180 million.
Local breweries reported another $680.8 million in sales, plus additional hotel and restaurant revenue from people attending annual festivals like the 10-day San Diego Beer Week.
"San Diego craft beer," Vasquez said, "is a major economic driver in the region."
This is the first full-scale study of local craft brewing's financial clout. It echoes national and statewide reports, that have highlighted the success of San Diego's largest breweries. This month, for instance, the Brewers Association released its list of the country's 50 largest breweries based on sales. Escondido's Stone ranked 10th, while two San Diegans — Karl Strauss and Ballast Point — were 39th and 46th respectively.
But Vasquez was unable to find any government agency, industry group or chamber of commerce that compiled data for San Diego County's entire brewing industry.
For his report, then, he parsed statistics from California's Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and the county's Environmental Health Department to find the number of employees; used Bureau of Labor Statistics reports to calculate wages; and employed a computer model to estimate expenses like equipment purchases and contracts for malt and hops.
Among the results:
• Local brewpubs employee 1,133 people.
• Local breweries, another 497.
• In California, San Diego County has 52 small brewery licenses, more than twice the number found in its closest rival, Los Angeles County.
Those figures, predicted Shawn DeWitt, president of the San Diego Brewers Guild, understate local beer's strength.
"Overall, this is very positive," he said of the report. "But those numbers are a year-and-a-half old. I'm guessing they are currently much higher."
Vasquez agreed. He noted that 15 licenses were issued for new craft breweries in 2011, and another 18 in 2012.
That's cause for celebration — and concern.
"There's really been meteoric growth," he said. "The industry is wrestling with that — what happens with the area's reputation for quality when you have so much growth and some of the breweries may not meet the area's high standards?"
And Vasquez warned that other areas are aggressively staking their claims as ale and lager destinations. Using state-funded studies on "beer tourists," North Carolina breweries and tourism agencies are trying to woo more college-educated travelers with household incomes of at least $80,000 a year.
"San Diego is going to have to be more forward-thinking," Vasquez warned. "We have to bring together San Diego's tourism boosters and the craft beer industry."
DeWitt, though, noted that the San Diego Brewers Guild works with San Diego's Tourism Marketing District. Last year, the district provided $70,000 to promote San Diego Beer Week — an event that brought in an estimated $780,000 in hotel revenues.
"We don't feel like we are falling behind or lagging in any of this," said DeWitt, Coronado Brewing's director of brewing operations. "We feel that San Diego is now the craft beer capital of the United States."

Urinary Disorders
Trace hematuria in 26yo male. Followup?
Recently, I suffered my first attack of atrial fibrillation with an unknown cause. Upon arrival at the ER, I gave a urine sample. I gave another sample the following day. Both results show trace amounts of hematuria. My cardiologist is suggesting I follow up with a nephrologist. Is it appropriate to follow up with a nephrologist or a urologist for the hematuria? I did have a CT scan with and without contrast which results were normal. Do you know any causes that are likely for me at my age. I am non-smoker and in general good health. Thank you very much for your help.
At this point, it's most appropriate for you to see a nephrologist (non-surgeon).
The initial questions that need to be answered are:
- Is your kidney function (as measured by the blood tests BUN and creatinine) normal?
- Is there any sign of kidney damage, such as high blood pressure or protein in the urine?
- Is there any sign of infection or inflammation in the bladder, prostate, or urethra?
- Do you have any other diseases such as lupus or a disorder of blood clotting?
- Is there any structural abnormality of the kidney or urinary tract (ureters, bladder, prostate, urethra)?
Because you apparently have no symptoms and because your contrast-CT was normal, the answers to all of the above questions are most likely going to be "no." The nephrologist will probably order an ultrasound, which may be a little better at detecting structural abnormalities of the kidney than a CT is. Then if the workup remains negative, you can either be followed for several months/years to see if the hematuria gets worse or better; or you can see a urologist, who will probably perform a cystoscopy to see if there is anything abnormal in the bladder. If not, you can continue to be followed once or twice a year by either a primary doc or nephrologist to see if anything develops.
A common type of kidney disorder that causes microscopic hematuria is IgA (immunoglobulin A) nephropathy. This is more common in certain ethnic groups, including people from western Europe (Netherlands, Belgium, France), southeast Asia, and Navajo Indians, and very rare in blacks. In this disease, hematuria is often the first and sometimes only manifestation, and blood in the urine may actually be visible if the person has a respiratory or GI infection. So this is a disorder that may be considered if you are in one of the ethnic groups above. However, the most likely cause of the hematuria at your age is "idiopathic," or unknown; and once you undergo the tests above, they should not need to be repeated unless something changes. Hope this info helps, and please write again if you have more questions.

With all the hassling about the "cliff," I feel the federal government owes it to the people of the country to offer some explanations and specifics.
As a start, for example, if the country could operate at a profit in 2000, why are the tax rates effective at that time ? prior to the Bush tax cuts ? so offensive to so many now? Just what are "job creators"? And offer us some examples. No one has to date.
For Mr. Nordquist and his allies, just how does one determine what the spending "bottom line" is, making sure that total spending of federal, state, county and local is what we are dealing with?
I suspect that virtually everyone grants that "spending" needs reining in, including medical services and parts of Social Security. I figure SS is the easiest to fix. Just take the income limit off, but no one wants to consider it.
I notice talk of many, many billions to be saved from medical services, but a figure of $800 billion isn't very satisfying without some explanation of where it comes from. And remember, the country will not accept letting people die, even though it is a possible solution. Details, please, not just a phantom figure.
From a budget standpoint, even with adjustments for time, what is so terribly bad about reverting to those of Reagan's and/or Clinton's last year? I'd like to see some valid comparisons with current proposed budgets and have our politicians explain why we can't do now what we used to be able to do without digging our hole deeper.
Very obviously there are justifications for some things. But to me, to spend the vast sums of the last 12 years with no action to increase revenue is idiotic and very irresponsible.
Possibly my problem is that my memories go back beyond World War II, when people felt responsible to pay off the cost of government. How many, today, remember the tax rates that were felt justified by the need at-hand? Ever heard of "Victory" (E) bonds and defense stamps? And, by and large, our country did survive those needed measures pretty well.

Powers Inducted Into Texas Fishing Hall of Fame
ATHENS, Texas — For his ongoing efforts as a spokesman, role model and mentor for physically challenged outdoorsmen, Michael "Shorty" Powers has become the newest member of the Texas Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. Powers was recognized here at the recent Texas Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame and Budweiser ShareLunker Banquet.
For the last 35 years, Powers has built a reputation across the state for his "can do" spirit in promoting fishing and hunting participation among the physically challenged. An avid bass angler, Powers has organized numerous fishing derbies over the years, including his Caddo Lake National Bass Championship Tournament for the physically challenged and his annual Bachman Lake Extravaganza. His organization, Turning P.O.I.N.T. (Paraplegics on Independent Nature Trips), is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
Powers has served on several advisory committees, including the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's state parks and freshwater fisheries groups and the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation's national advisory board.
In addition to Powers' induction into the Hall of Fame, several others were recognized for their fishing achievements this past year as part of the Budweiser ShareLunker Awards program.
The Budweiser ShareLunker season ended April 30 with 15 largemouth bass weighing 13 pounds or more entered into the program. One fish was caught, marked and released, only to be caught and entered into the program for the second time. Another angler likely released his chance to become the first to "fourpeat" and submit four fish to the program in the same year.
This year's overall Angler of the Year honors went to Jason Reyes of Humble for his 15.1-pound largemouth entry caught from a private lake north of Houston on Feb. 20.
Once again, Lake Fork led all water bodies for the most entries in the program with seven, bringing the total number of Budweiser ShareLunkers from this trophy bass factory to more than 220.
"We had a couple of high points this year," said ShareLunker Program Director David Campbell. "We had two water body records, including the 14.64 out of Casa Blanca; that lake surprised me the most. You don't expect smaller lakes like that to contribute but it shows that they can produce. Rumor is there were several more caught on that lake, but the anglers didn't know about the program."
Campbell said he continues to be impressed with the distribution of entries into the program, with quality bass being landed from a variety of different lakes throughout the state.
One unusual entry this year was actually a repeat ShareLunker. The fish was first caught on Lake Fork last year and the angler opted to have it released into his private lake. This year, the angler caught a big bass from his private lake, but didn't think it was the same fish and entered it into the program. Identification pit tags implanted in the fish proved it to be the same one he caught the year before.
The Budweiser ShareLunker Program is headquartered at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center here. The visitor center is open to the public Tuesday through Sunday with daily tours of the hatchery. Additional information about the Budweiser ShareLunker Program, rules and regulations, and previous entries is available online (http://tpwd.texas.gov/fish/infish/hatchery/tffc/).

Safe4Athletes Survey Results
Safe4Athletes Survey Results
Safe4Athletes developed an online survey to indentify current and former athletes and to learn about the type of harassment that may have been experienced over the course of their career. The survey allows for both the athlete and a parent of athlete to respond.
Aims: To determine if there were any trends across sport, gender and competition level, that identify abuse levels for emotional, verbal, physical and sexual abuse.
Methods: The survey was distributed in phases; the first phase was directed towards personal contacts, via Facebook ( friends and large number of Olympians from around the world), and private communication with contacts that have come to Safe4athletes with experience of abuse in some form in sports. The second phase included a more public distribution with websites like Huffington Post, Momsteam, (a focused parent/athlete audience) and the Safe4athletes website.
Results: 155 participants – 103 Athletes – 52 Athlete/Parent; Athletes 91 Female and 12 Male.
Speedskating Coach Is Accused of Abuse
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Five Olympic medalists and other current and former members of the U.S. speedskating team filed complaints accusing head coach Jae Su Chun of "unchecked" verbal, physical and psychological abuse.
Nineteen athletes filed a wide-ranging grievance against U.S. Speedskating and 14 signed a complaint with the U.S. Olympic Committee. The Chicago Tribune and Salt Lake Tribune reported on the accusations.
Attorney Edward Williams, who represents the skaters, said the abuse was "outrageous."
The code of conduct complaint accuses Chun of slamming an athlete against a wall and repeatedly hitting him, throwing bottles and chairs at skaters, and repeatedly telling female skaters they were "fat" and "disgusting."
Safe4Athletes Appeal for Change
by Katherine Starr
Unlike athletes and students in schools and colleges who are protected by Title IX's sexual harassment and abuse provisions, athletes in open amateur sports are currently unprotected from coach or sport leader misconduct except by criminal law. While the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) has promulgated recommended policies, it does not require its national sport governing bodies (NGBs) nor the local organizations and coaches who are members of these championship conducting entities, to have such protections in place. Thus, children and adult participants in non-school youth sports programs nationwide are vulnerable to pedophiles and unethical coaches who use parent and athlete respect for their positions to manipulate their athletes to engage in inappropriate relationships and sexual exploitation.
Linking Maintenance Strategies to the Quality of Coach-Athlete Relationships
This study investigated associations between the use of maintenance strategies and relationship quality within coach-athlete dyads. A total of 251 participants (146 athletes and 105 coaches) were administered the Coach-Athlete Relationship Maintenance Questionnaire (CARM-Q) to measure the use of conflict management, openness, motivational, preventative, assurance, support, and social network strategies and the Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (CART-Q) to measure closeness, commitment, and complementarity.
The investigation of relationship maintenance strategies has received considerable attention in various types of dyads including romantic, marital, and familial relationships. No research, however, has yet investigated the use of maintenance strategies in the coach-athlete partnership. Thus, this study aimed to investigate coaches' and athletes' perceptions of the strategies they use to maintain relationship quality.
The Development of a Typology of Abusive Coaching Behaviours Within Youth Sport
Written by: Elaine Raakman1, Kim Dorsch2 and Daniel Rhind3
Why, from a "protection from harm" perspective, is it important for a local club to have policies defining prohibited behaviors, misconduct, etc.?
· The failure to have policies or prevention systems is, in itself, an action by the Club to take no action. In other words and for example, if sued by the victim or her/his family, a court would most likely say "The athlete was harmed by the Club's failure to exercise reasonable care on behalf of the athlete by failing to adopt and administer policies that would have prevented the abuse suffered."
Why should your club adopt Safe4Athletes or similar child safety and welfare policies and procedures?
- Parents want to know that a sports program is safe for their children. Having specific policies that address these issues will increase parent trust and confidence in club leadership, coaches, or ownership.
- Athletes can concentrate on their sports, without second-guessing their "gut feeling" that someone's behavior isn't right.
- Clear rules and a fair process reduce the Club's risk from lawsuits that may be filed by dismissed coaches or the abused victim or her/his family.
- Many national sport governing bodies (NGB) do not yet require their Club members to have comprehensive athlete protection policies, and if they do, these policies may not address bullying or coach/peer athlete conduct that falls short of criminal behavior.
- Even when NGBs have processes that are applicable in cases of athlete sexual abuse, reporting and investigation procedures take a considerable amount of time and because the NGB is not the employer, the NGB in not in a position to address immediate suspension of an employee in the case of serious misconduct.
The local Club is responsible for the safety of its program participants and is obligated to take immediate action to remedy a hostile environment.
Athlete Education Sheet
It is important that an athlete "respect" their coach (teammates, staff and volunteers), but sometimes, they act in ways that can be harmful and hurtful to young athletes.
It is important for every athlete to understand what is unacceptable behavior and when to reach out to an adult to ask for help and guidance.

Cupcake Hero Challenge: Maple Walnut Cranberry Cupcakes with Cranberry Sauce and Maple Frosting
When this month's cupcake hero theme was announced to be cranberry, I was a little worried.
I don't eat cranberries. Growing up, it was never in the Thanksgiving spread. In fact, until a week ago, I had never even touched the things.
I don't drink cranberry juice. I had a kidney stone a few years back and had to go on an all-liquid diet for 5 days until it passed. I had to drink a gallon of cranberry juice every day. And, to make things worse, it was the week of Thanksgiving. Since then, I haven't touched the stuff.
But I wanted to give the little guys a second chance. After all, it's not their fault that my family never served cranberry sauce or that I got a kidney stone. And they're really pretty during harvest time…
I started early in the month looking for a cupcake recipe with cranberries in it. Most recipes with cranberries are for muffins or scones; sometimes cookies have dried cranberries… I asked everyone who would listen what flavors go with cranberries – most people suggested orange or white chocolate.
I really wanted to stretch my baking wings and do some experimental baking. I've never "invented" a baking recipe, but I do it all the time when I cook. I found the base recipe for my cupcake in Crazy about Cupcakes. I thought that cranberries would go well with a maple-walnut cupcake. Then I thought about the frosting.
I wanted these guys to have a strong cranberry flavor and I was worried the berry would get lost in the cupcake. I thought about adding cranberries to the frosting and then it hit me. I could do a cranberry glaze and a maple syrup cream cheese frosting.
When the cupcakes came out of the oven, they smelled like warm pancakes – yuuuuummmmmmy! I was right about the berry flavor being lost in the cupcake, so now it was all up to the glaze.
The cranberry glaze turned out too sweet and I wanted the cranberry flavor to be more tart/tangy. The cream cheese frosting was also too runny and didn't want to hold up for piping.
I decided to make a cranberry sauce with no sugar, to keep it tart, and a maple syrup buttercream so it could be piped. This flavor combination of the sweet maple syrup frosting, tangy cranberry sauce and nutty cupcake turned out amazing. After hours in the kitchen and years of avoiding cranberries at all costs, my mouth was excited when I took the first bite.
I sent these guys to work with Hubby and he said they got more compliments than any other baked good he has taken in!! I have to admit, they are quite pretty 🙂
Maple Walnut Cupcakes (from Crazy about Cupcakes ) makes 18 – (with my changes in purple)
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour – I use King Arthurs White Whole Wheat Flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup chopped cranberries
Preheat over to 350F. Insert liners into a medium cupcake pan.
In a large bowl cream together the sugar and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Beat in the maple syrup. Add the vanilla and eggs. Beat until mixture is smooth.
In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder, powder, and salt.
Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk. Beat well. Stir in the walnuts and chopped cranberries.
Fill the cupcake liners three-quarters full. Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of cupcakes comes out clean. Cool cupcakes in the pan.
Sugar Free Cranberry Sauce (by ME!)
1 bag of cranberries (less 1 cup for the cupcakes)
Place remaining cranberries in a saucepan. Add water to cover the berries.
Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and cover for 20 minutes. Turn off heat and cover. Allow to simmer while cupcakes bake and cool.
When cranberry sauce is cooled, puree in food processor by using the pulse button.
Maple Syrup Frosting (by ME!)
6 Tbsp (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 cups powdered sugar
2+ Tbsp maple syrup
Cream butter and sugar until blended. Add maple syrup until desired consistency and flavor is reached
To assemble cupcakes:
Allow cupcakes to completely cool. Using a toothpick, poke multiple holes into the cupcake tops.
Spoon some cranberry sauce onto the top of the cupcakes, coming close to the edge. Allow to soak in for 20 minutes.
Mix frosting while cranberry sauce is settling. Using a large tip, pipe frosting on to of sauce, but not covering all of the sauce.

Wow, these look and sound amazing!! Good luck.
If I were judging this contest.. even with my dislike of cranberries (usually) you would win the grand prize.
Not only for the combination of flavors which has me salivating – but for presentation. I absolutely LURVE the cranberry sauce under the pretty white maple buttercream. *swoon*

I made them – they're GREAT!
I'm Veronica, I'm trying this recipe but how much Baking soda is it?
You put in the directions to mix it, but in the ingredients is missing.
Thank you!
Later on I'll let you know how they baked!
Veronica – It's a typo in the instructions. It should say Baking Powder. I have corrected the post.

Linn EnergyDividend Yield: 10.60% Linn Energy (NASDAQ: LINE) shares currently have a dividend yield of 10.60%. Linn Energy, LLC, an independent oil and natural gas company, engages in the acquisition and development of oil and natural gas properties. The average volume for Linn Energy has been 2,066,200 shares per day over the past 30 days. Linn Energy has a market cap of $6.8 billion and is part of the energy industry. Shares are down 18.3% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Wednesday. TheStreet Ratings rates Linn Energy as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, compelling growth in net income and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including generally higher debt management risk and a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- LINE's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 5.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 923.3%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry. The net income increased by 93.0% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$430.01 million to -$30.06 million.
- LINN ENERGY LLC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, LINN ENERGY LLC swung to a loss, reporting -$1.86 versus $2.21 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.93 versus -$1.86).
- LINE has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, declining 19.71% from its price level of one year ago. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.
- Currently the debt-to-equity ratio of 1.61 is quite high overall and when compared to the industry average, suggesting that the current management of debt levels should be re-evaluated. Along with this, the company manages to maintain a quick ratio of 0.46, which clearly demonstrates the inability to cover short-term cash needs.

Samira Saeed postpones release
Moroccan singer Samira Saeed has announced that she will postpone the release of her upcoming album, produced by 'Alam El Phan,' until next summer.
The singer stated that she hopes it will meet the satisfaction of her fans.
According to the Qatar based daily, Al Raya, Samira explained that she decided to postpone the release date because "too many singers have released albums this year, which may effect the success of he album."
Samira turned down a very generous offer from a competing music production company, stating that she is very satisfied with Alam El Phan, owned by Muhsin Jaber.
The singer praised Alam El Phan's treatment of her, and affirmed that she has no desire to shift her loyalties.
On a different note, Saeed denied circulating rumors that she has gotten a divorce, stating that she will not allow anyone to interfere with her private life, and refuses to talk about it with the media.

Inland Empire residents can look forward to sunny – and windy – weather in the early days of 2013, according to National Weather Service forecasts.
The skies above the Inland Valley and San Bernardino area are expected to stay clear through Saturday as temperatures get slightly warmer.
Forecasters are also advising that moderate to strong winds are likely to blow throughout the Inland Empire today before losing strength on Thursday.
The National Weather Service is not forecasting any new snowfall over the next few days over local ski resorts in the San Gabriel or San Bernardino mountains.
Ski areas, however, received valuable snowfall during the final weekend of 2013. Local ski parks – Mt. Baldy Ski Lifts, Mountain High, Snow Valley, Snow Summit and Bear Mountain Ski Resort – reported Tuesday night that their slopes have received both machine-made and natural snow over the past few days.

Town criers from across the country had plenty to shout about at Calne's fifth bellowing competition on Sunday, as sunny weather boosted spectator numbers.
The 14 contestants, in full regalia, made their speeches to the public and town councillors by the riverside at Beach Terrace.
The first cry was a home cry, on the subject of their choice, and the afternoon cry was on the topic of war and peace, to coincide with the First World War centenary.
For the first time, the competition included a junior cry, with Harrison Wylie, the son of Calne town crier Mark Wylie taking part.
Alex Borthwick, of Peace-haven in Sussex, and Tom Gahon, of Royal Wootton Bassett, also tried, with Steven Golding and Stanley Fisher who had come to watch.
Mark Wylie said: "They were just watching it with their families and I said, 'Would anyone like a go?' "The three official junior criers were excellent and the two little ones did really well, considering that this was the first time they had stood up in front of a huge crowd.
"We are definitely trying to encourage young people to take an interest in town crying, because this is something that's a dying art. If you want it to keep going, you have to encourage the young.
"I'm biased, of course, but I think Harrison was the best. He's only ten, so he thinks it's brilliant to do what his dad does. He watches me and he learns."
The contest coincided with a competition in Frome the day before and a joint cup, for the overall weekend winner, went to Peder Nielsen, of Bromyard, Herefordshire.
He also won first in Calne, with Roy Goodwin of Ilfracombe second and Ken Knowles, of Lichfield, third.
The best dressed crier prize went to Warminster's Phil Seddon, and Lilian Heeks, of Trowbridge, won best dressed escort, as well as best dressed couple with husband Trevor.
Mr Wylie said: "Everyone was really impressed with how it went. I'm lucky that I'm supported by such a wonderful town council.
"As a result of the heat, a lot of families came down. A gentleman had to have medical attention. He was recording the whole thing and was overcome by the heat.

text: EPA pushes to reduce Mingo mine's impacts By Ken Ward Jr. January 26, 2012 Story Share Read more @ blogs.wvgazette.com/coaltattoo/ CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Obama administration has again questioned a huge mountaintop removal mine associated with the King Coal Highway, and is pressuring state regulators and CONSOL Energy to reduce the mine's potential impacts.U.S. Environmental Protection Agency officials said the 2,300-acre Buffalo Mountain Surface Mine is "among the largest single mining projects ever proposed in Appalachia."EPA officials noted the operation, proposed for between Belo and Delbarton in Mingo County, would bury nearly 10 miles of streams beneath waste rock and dirt, under 13 separate valley fills. The permit includes 159 separate water pollution outfalls."The scale and magnitude of environmental and water quality impacts from the mine as currently proposed are as significant as any mining operation we have reviewed in the past 20 years," EPA regional water quality director Jon Capacasa wrote last week in a letter to the state Department of Environmental Protection.Capacasa wrote to DEP to file a specific objection to a Clean Water Act pollution discharge permit for the operation. The letter is a step toward EPA taking over the handling of the permit application, which would normally be processed by DEP.EPA officials have expressed major concerns about the Buffalo Mountain proposal, submitting a letter objecting to a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers "dredge-and-fill" permit for the operation on the day President Obama was inaugurated.CONSOL wants to mine 16 million tons of coal at the site over a 14-year period, and part of its post-mining land use plan involves construction of the King Coal Highway on mined-out area. DOH says the plan reduces the cost of the Delbarton to Belo section of the road from nearly $200 million to just less than $90 million. But EPA said in its recent letter that DEP has not included adequate pollution monitoring or discharge limits in its proposed water quality permit for the operation. EPA cites the growing body of scientific literature that documents "the adverse water quality, environmental, and public health effects of Appalachian surface coal mining.""The EPA's review of the mining operator's proposal indicates that feasible, cost effective steps are available to be incorporated into the operation to avoid and minimize the significant, adverse environmental and water quality impacts associated with the Buffalo Mountain mine," EPA said. "Unlike Buffalo Mountain's mine design, modern, technically feasible, and cost-effective mining practices are being proposed and incorporated by many mining companies into their mine designs with the intent to significantly reduce the adverse impacts to the aquatic ecosystem."On Wednesday, the Federal Highway Administration and the state Division of Highways announced they would conduct an additional study of the potential environmental impacts of the highway, with a focus on the Buffalo Mountain mining project.EPA said that study "will provide a helpful vehicle for agencies to work together to identify improvements in the mine design to reduce potential adverse impacts to water quality, public health and the environment."CONSOL officials offered no immediate response to the EPA letter.Tom Clarke, director of DEP's Division of Mining and Reclamation, said his office is reviewing the EPA's letter."We'll certainly look at the letter and determine how to respond," Clarke said. "We've had some constructive discussions with them."Reach Ken Ward Jr. at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1702.

Im not exactly sure how, but I've ended up with duplicates.
In the current table, you'll see that I used chapt_id as the PK. This allowed for duplicate chapters in some movies.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `chapters` (
`chapt_id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`mov_id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`chapter_num` varchar(3) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`chapter_title` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
PRIMARY KEY (`chapt_id`),
KEY `mov_id` (`mov_id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci ;
You can see here, if I export from the chapters table
INSERT INTO `chapters` VALUES
(1996, 65, '1', 'Main Titles'),
(1997, 65, '2', 'The Prisoners Arrive'),
(1998, 65, '3', 'Escape Attempt 1'),
(1999, 65, '4', 'The Blind Spot'),
(2000, 65, '5', 'To the Cooler'),
(2001, 65, '6', 'Bartlett''s Arrival'),
(2002, 65, '7', 'The Objective'),
(2003, 65, '8', 'The Escape Committee'),
(2004, 65, '9', 'Forger & Scrounger'),
(2005, 65, '10', 'Stealing Steel'),
(322864, 65, '1', 'Main Titles'),
(322865, 65, '2', 'The Prisoners Arrive'),
(322866, 65, '3', 'Escape Attempt 1'),
(322867, 65, '4', 'The Blind Spot'),
(322868, 65, '5', 'To the Cooler'),
(322869, 65, '6', 'Bartlett''s Arrival'),
(322870, 65, '7', 'The Objective'),
(322871, 65, '8', 'The Escape Committee'),
(322872, 65, '9', 'Forger & Scrounger'),
(322873, 65, '10', 'Stealing Steel');
I'm trying to take the data from the current "chapters" table and INSERT it into the new "movies_chapters" table. Obviously, looking at the PKs below you can see that I'm running into duplicate errors.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `movies_chapters` (
`mc_mov_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`mc_lang` char(2) CHARACTER SET latin1 NOT NULL,
`mc_chapter_num` varchar(3) CHARACTER SET latin1 NOT NULL,
`mc_chapter_title` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`mc_mov_id`,`mc_chapter_num`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;
I'll be using the mov_id and the chapter_num as the new PK, so I'm not worried about keeping the chapt_id anymore. What's the best way to handle this? Delete the duplicates from the chapters table? If so, how?
Do any other tables in the database use the PK from the chapters table is their FK?
see if you can spot the difference in these two solutions --
INTO movies_chapters
( mc_mov_id
, mc_lang
, mc_chapter_num
, mc_chapter_title )
, 'en'
, chapter_num
, chapter_title
FROM chapters
INTO movies_chapters
( mc_mov_id
, mc_lang
, mc_chapter_num
, mc_chapter_title )
SELECT mov_id
, 'en'
, chapter_num
, chapter_title
FROM chapters
The syntax is different, but I'm going to say those do the same thing. Does INSERT INGORE use less system resources?
no, INSERT IGNORE attempts to insert all rows, ignoring dupes, whereas the INSERT which has SELECT DISTINCT inserts only the uniques
system resources is of minor concern here, since you are presumably doing this only once
@Rudy, for the benefit of anyone who comes across this thread what performance difference, if any is there between the two solutions?
i would guess that the one with DISTINCT might be slower, because it has to sort the entire table on all columns first, whereas the IGNORE only has to do an index lookup on each row
who do you suppose has some sample data in the requisite two table layouts and might be available to test it for us?
I tried doing both and received this error performing the DUPLICATE query: #2006 - MySQL server has gone away. The chapters table has over 600,000 rows.
Rudy, I understand that the actions are different, but isn't the outcome still the same? Which method do you recommend?
i would not agonize over which method to use
if one of them failed on me, i'd use the other one in a flash
Excellent, so they DO produce the same result.
I'm working on this on my local Mac, not a web server. It's a Mac Pro 8 Core with 6 GB RAM. My query results are
Using INSERT IGNOREInserted rows: 579653 (Query took 47.4497 sec)
Using DUPLICATE
I tried this three times and got the same result. Use INSERT IGNORE.
Thanks Rudy!
Not necessarily. You might have multiple records with the same mov_id and chapter_num, but have different titles. Distinct sees those as distinct rows. An error would be thrown when you try to insert them because your new table only has a unique constraint on mov_id and chapter_num.
This probably isn't the case in your dataset though.

"Escape from Tomorrow"
*** (three stars)
"Escape from Tomorrow"
*** (three stars)
"Escape from Tomorrow" just might be one of the bravest movies I've ever seen at the Sundance Film Festival. And for that, I recommend you go see it during the festival because it may well be your last chance. It's an independent film in the truest sense, a scrappy black-and-white film shot guerilla-style at Disneyland and Disney World. There's a reason it's shot covertly it's a darkly comic, surreal vision of the amusement park landscape, a psychadelic trip through the fanciful world of Disney imagination that Disney the corporation would never have approved of. Jim (Roy Abramsohn) is a otherwise mild-mannered father who is on the last day of his trip to Disney World with his wife and two kids when he's learned he has been laid off. Bent on hiding the news from his family for the last day of their vacation, Jim instead gets pulled onto a David Lynchian stage of weirdness where Disney princesses sideline as high-paid hookers and the "It's a Small World" ride is a journey through demonic imagery. If that weren't enough, Jim is attracted to two European teen-agers at the park to the point of stalking them from ride to ride. Director Randy Moore delivers a wildly uneven view of a nightmarish day at Disneyland, but it's undeniable that there is an underlying layer of creepiness that will make any middle-aged parent feel queasy. With a litigous Disney likely to pounce on any real shot this movie has at national distribution, it's very possible that "Escape from Tomorrow" will never see the light of a projector again. But one only hopes it does.

"Escape from Tomorrow" screens again: Thursday at 5:30 p.m., Library Center Theatre, Park City; Saturday at 3 p.m., Broadway Centre Cinema, Salt Lake City.

On September 8th, 2006 I lost my beautiful and gracious wife of 16 years, Vicki. I feel like I have suffered a lifetime of loss in just the past two years with the deaths of my brother, my mother, my father, and now my wife. But, the loss of Vicki has for me been by far the most devastating.
Vicki first starting feeling an unusual pain in her right shoulder in June 2003 that her doctor misdiagnosed as lyme disease. In December of that year we learned from doctors at Memorial Sloan-Kettering in New York that Vicki had intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and that she had very little hope of surviving the disease. The focus of our lives transitioned from career moves, house purchases and family vacations to hospital and doctor visits - seeking the best treatments in hopes of a cure or at least a delay in the spread of the cancer. But time relentlessly pressed on and we could not contain the disease indefinitely. Earlier this year, as the cancer began to spread throughout Vicki

Thankfully, they sent us two fantastic songs from the EP to share with all of you.
"Blood" - The Middle East from The Recordings of the Middle East (2009)

The Love X Nowhere - High Score Blackout
The Love X (as in "times") Nowhere's latest LP, High Score Blackout, was released last summer on Redgummy Records. The album oozes with Cocteau-heavy guitars dripping with the sway of chorus and delay; analog synth as at home with The Cars as Meddle-era Pink Floyd; a rhythm section adept in thick, explosive grooves and awe-inspiring dynamics.

Emanuel and the Fear - Self-Titled EP
Brooklyn's 11-piece band Emanuel and the Fear, released a self-titled debut EP late in 2009 to enthusiastic reviews in publications like the Village Voice, Deli Magazine, Absolute Punk and NME. Headed by NYC resident Emanuel Ayvas, EATF creates and delivers magnificently crafted, and complex, yet accessible songs. Their self-titled debut EP was released last January on Paper Garden Records and included contributions from musicians who have previously played and toured with Sufjan Stevens, The National, Akron/Family and Bryan Scary & The Shredding Tears.

Solfege Radio - Eleven!
New Jersey's melodic pop punk band Solfege Radio released their debut album late in 2009 on Danimal Records to fairly good press and reception from fans. The band of teen musicians demonstrate a true talent at a young age for crafting tight rock songs with a shimmering undertow. We'd be curious to know what you think about this single.

Jacob Faurholt - Why Write
In December, we featured Danish musician Jacob Faurholt in the In Dee Mail Special Edition, Vol. I, post. Now, Faurholt has another song to share, "Jesus on a Stamp," which sounds like the Editors mixed with Interpol, accompanied by bright keys and booming drums, hand-clapping and flowing choruses.

Franklin for Short - Swell
Franklin for Short hails from Ventura, California, a quiet little beach town 75 miles north of L.A. Living off a diet of burritos, coastal fog and reverb, the band has been incubating their latest release Swell for a year and a half. The result is a 14-song epic that winds its way through a landscape half ethereal and half earthbound.

The search for accused killer Christopher Dorner turned cold Friday as hundreds of law enforcement officials waded through a mountain blizzard hoping to catch the formerĀ officer accused of a waging a deadly war against police.
As night fell in Big Bear Lake, searchers were left wondering if the former Los Angeles police officer had slipped away.
The manhunt resumes Saturday for the 33-year-old fugitive suspected of killing three people, including an officer, and wounding others on a revenge-filled rampage across Southern California.
"The danger is, there is the possibility that he's still here," said Cindy Bachman, spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. "And the possibility exists that he did leave."
As snow fell throughout the day, SWAT officers swarmed the woods and homes around the 7,000-foot-high Bear Mountain ski resort, where Dorner's pickup was found torched Thursday morning.
The San Bernardino sheriff's department said the snowy footprints leading from the burned-out truck were Dorner's. Searchers followed the tracks for several miles until they disappeared on icy ground.
Riding in armored personnel carriers and tractors, more than 100 officers canvassed about 200 cabins for the man suspected of a waging a one-man war against targets he felt had quashed his police career.
Bloodhounds barked as officers in flak jackets and snow goggles went door to door and tree to tree.
Throughout the night, a dozen two-man teams were expected to be on the lookout, with a full search to resume Saturday morning.
"It is an extremely dangerous situation, but sheriff's deputies are trained," San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said.
And while authorities endured freezing temperatures in Big Bear, heavily armed police remained on the hunt throughout California, Nevada, Arizona and northern Mexico.
Meanwhile, bogus sightings popped up from the high Mojave Desert to an Indian reservation in San Diego, from Downey to a county jail in Los Angeles.
As the burly ex-officer eluded capture in the San Bernardino Mountains, local and federal police searched his mother's Orange County home, carrying out boxes of evidence, including computers.
His mother and sister, who live at Dorner's last known address in La Palma, were cooperating with officers, police said.
La Palma residents who have been following the news coverage were on edge with the knowledge that someone suspected of killing at least three people this week had been living in their neighborhood. They stayed inside their homes on Friday as heavily armed officers searched the property.
"They're scared," said local resident Kent Castle, who has lived in the area for 30 years. "It's a ghost town."
Local resident David Pighin recalled seeing Dorner around the neighborhood.
"He'd park his truck outside. He'd be wearing a military jumpsuit and duffel bag and go inside and not say a thing," Pighin recalled. "And to find this out, it was quite a shock, to say the least."
Dorner is wanted in connection with killing an engaged couple in Irvine on Sunday - Monica Quan and her fiancķ, Keith Lawrence. Quan is the daughter of the former LAPD captain who represented Dorner in his efforts to contest his firing from the LAPD in 2008-09.
After that, police say, he carried out a vendetta against law enforcement, ambushing two officers in Riverside, killing one and wounding the other, and exchanging gunfire with another pair of officers in Corona. He also issued a rambling 11,000 word manifesto in which he named some 40 targets, as well as his admiration for celebrities like Anderson Cooper and Charlie Sheen.
Dorner is described as a 6-foot, 270-pound highly trained marksman and Navy veteran.
In Los Angeles, a report of a possible Dorner sighting led to the lockdown of a county jail.
A civilian employee of the Twin Towers Correctional Facility about 8:45 a.m. reported seeing "somebody outside who resembled suspect Dorner," according to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore.
Officials cordoned off the area and conducted a search, but there were no additional signs of Dorner.

With the fourth-generation Lexus GS 350, you get more without spending more. The GS was thoroughly re-worked for 2013, and while we would expect there to be a price increase, Lexus has announced the base price remains unchanged from the 2011 model. The restyled and re-engineered GS will still have a base price of $47,775 (including a $875 destination fee) while the all-wheel drive version starts at $50,325.
So what exactly would buyers be getting without shelling out more money for the all-new GS? The same 3.5-liter V-6 as the 2011 model still appears under the hood, but with a slight power bump to 306 hp and 277 lb-ft of torque. It also rolls on an all-new platform, and features all-new front and rear suspension. The design has also changed to give the GS a more aggressive look, including Lexus' new signature "spindle grille" and flared wheel arches. The interior also got a major refresh, featuring a more driver-centric design theme.
For $1,400, the premium package adds heated and ventilated front seats, a power rear sunshade, and rain-sensing wipers. The new GS 350 is also available in Luxury and Sport trims, with the Luxury package including even more amenities like a wood and leather steering wheel, rear audio controls, 18-way power front seats, and adaptive suspension. Checking this box off will set you back a cool $5,750, while the GS F Sport brings the complete sport suite for an extra $5,690.
GS F buyers will gain a further dressed up with redesigned fascias, 19-inch wheels, larger brakes, perforated-leather interior, aluminum trim and pedals, and dynamic handling packing with variable-gear-ratio steering . But to enjoy the massive 12.3 inch split-screen display on any GS, buyers have to opt for the navigation system, which costs $1735.
The new 2013 Lexus GS 350 will start arriving in showrooms in early February.

7 Surprisingly Healthy Foods to Indulge in, Guilt-Free
The winner: Ham and egg breakfast sandwich
It's made with a 100-calorie English muffin, one egg, and a slice of naturally lean Canadian bacon, and gets bonus points for built-in portion control. An official serving of granola is often a tiny quarter cup; a full cup can easily have 400 calories. Factor in 2% milk and you've blown your breakfast.
The winner: Filet mignon with a baked potato
Fact: Caesar salads are loaded with fatty dressing and topped with croutons and cheese. A petite filet, on the other hand, can be a perfect portion of lean beef. And while potatoes get heavy if you top them wrong, they can be a satisfying guilt-free side if you spoon on salsa or marinara sauce instead of butter and sour cream. If it's a huge potato, save half for later.
7 Winter Workouts That Will Actually Make You Want to Leave the House

Africa may be thousands of miles from Silicon Valley, but two local residents are bringing it closer to home at "Passport to Tanzania," the inaugural fundraiser for an orphanage on the road to the Serengeti region.
The benefit, scheduled 5-8 p.m. Saturday at Auto Vino, 205 Constitution Ave. in Menlo Park, will feature wine tasting, appetizers, desserts, silent and live auctions, African music and the opportunity to learn about the nonprofit Friends of Children Concern Foundation (CCF), dedicated to helping orphans in Tanzania. Auto Vino will offer guests a look at more than 50 vintage and exotic cars not usually on display to the public.
Mountain View resident Betsy Collard and KC Cannon of Menlo Park organized the event, which they said aims to provide guests with a view of a "very different world" and a chance to be part of a journey that can change the lives of children at the CCF orphanage.
In addition to Collard and Cannon, the event committee includes, among others, Jane Reed and Dorothy Rosenthal of Los Altos and Jan Carey and Lisa Lane Kasperzak of Mountain View.
Collard first visited the orphanage in 2011 when she traveled to Tanzania to celebrate a clinic opening for Maasai women and children and to go on a safari.
"We stopped at the home where 36 children, ages 4-16, lived in a small, cramped, rented house," she said. "There was no electricity, no place for the children to play, and they slept two or three to a bed. I fell in love with the children. When I returned to the U.S., I vowed to do what I could to help these children."
Collard approached Cannon, a longtime friend who also had a passion for Africa. Together, the women established the nonprofit organization committed to providing the children with a safe living environment, education, access to medical care and hope for a better future.
"The orphanage receives no government assistance and currently depends entirely on donations from tourists who stop on their way to a safari, just as we did," Cannon said. "Often, especially during the heavy rainy season, there is not enough money for food."
By Tanzanian law, orphans are not allowed to be adopted and are only allowed to live with family members willing to care for them.
Collard and Cannon have made several trips to Tanzania to visit the children and help the staff. Friends of CCF has raised funds to support the facility's operational costs and enabled the purchase of a few acres of land for a permanent home.
Tanzanian vocalist and songwriter Erica Lulakwa, a drummer and other musicians will perform at "Passport to Tanzania." Auction items will include an African safari and other trips, artwork, wine and gift certificates for local restaurants. Guests will have an opportunity to support the orphanage by participating in the Make-A-Difference Appeal.
Tickets are $95 per person, with a portion tax deductible.
