That's the premise behind one idea for fixing potholes and maintaining good roads. It's called "pot for potholes." The idea is to legalize and tax marijuana, using the revenue for roads, highways, and bridges.
What do you think of "pot for potholes"?
A "pot for potholes" proposal was raised in Michigan last year, but it didn't get very far—though Stephen Colbert had a heyday mocking it. Now, the idea has been raised in New Jersey and Rhode Island.
In some ways, legalizing and taxing marijuana to pay for roads is similar to legalizing gambling to pay for education. Proponents of legalized gambling said it would rescue public education. But it didn't. The Michigan Lottery, for example, covers only 6.6% of the state's education budget, as we've discussed on OurValues.org before. The real problem comes in when state legislators don't add the new revenues to the education budget. The California State Lottery ran into this problem. California state legislators cut the state's education budget and counted on the lottery to make up the cuts.
"Pot for potholes" could end up the same way. Instead of a supplement to state budgets for infrastructure repair and maintenance, the added revenue could be diverted to other uses or used as a replacement for cuts to state infrastructure budgets.
Oh, yes—and there is the morality issue of legalizing marijuana and asking vice to serve virtue.
What do you think of "pot for potholes"?
Do you think this proposal has merit?
Can it really help our pothole nation?

About the Movie
Based on a true story, when Chilean military dictator Augusto Pinochet, facing international pressure, calls for a referendum on his presidency in 1988, opposition leaders persuade a brash young advertising executive, Rene Saavedra, to spearhead their campaign. With scant resources and constant scrutiny by the despot's watchmen, Saavedra and his team devise an audacious plan to win the election and free their country from oppression.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The best movie ever made about Chilean plebiscites, No thoroughly deserves its Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Film.
Fresh: "No" stands proudly in a select sub-category of historical fiction films that work, completely and satisfyingly, as their own movies.
Fresh: If there are fewer white-knuckle showdowns than in a Hollywood movie, the trade-off is a cool, ironic intelligence that ripples off the screen and up the years to where we live.
Fresh: On every level, "No" leaves one with bittersweet feelings about democracy, love and the cost of compromise.
Customer Reviews
Fantastic Film on the Media Campaign against the Pinochet dictatorship
After seeing negative ad after negative ad in Politics it's refreshing to see how one positive advertising professional living under the Pinochet dictatorship was able to help bring together one country under the message of positive togetherness.
Just can't do subtitles. such a shame.

#1508 new defect
Editing inside DIV elements now almost impossible in Xinha/IE
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Xinha Core
|IE, div
I'm not sure if it was the "focus" fix for #1268 which created the problem (I haven't updated my server installation for a while), but now in IE8 when attempting to edit content within absolutely positioned DIV tags, it is impossible to use any of the navigation keys (forward arrow, back arrow, etc.) without IE losing its focus inside the DIV area (the cursor jumps immediately to the end of the DIV, outside it). The problem might be related to the striped box which appears, in IE only, when editing inside absolutely positioned DIV tags. This was obscuring the "new" dialog system. The fix in #1268 was to force IE8 to focus on the first text field in the dialog box. Now, however, even without invoking a dialog, the striped box disappears as soon as one types anything inside the DIV. It is possible to continue typing, but as soon as one uses a navigation key, the cursor jumps outside the DIV, requiring a double-click to get back in. This effectively renders IE useless for editing such documents. NB Firefox does not have this problem, since it handles editing inside DIVs in a much more transparent manner.

- Milestone changed from 0.96 to 0.97
The problem stems from updateToolbar, getParentElement, and IE's insistance to return a "None" selection.
When updateToolbar runs it tries to find the parentElement of the current selection, to update things like formatblock.
getParentElement() grabs the selection (InternetExplorer?.js)
It then tries to create a range from the selection using createRange() (also InternetExplorer?.js)
createRange() sees the selection it got is "None" and does a focusEditor(), which apparently defocuses the absolutely positioned div (removes the caret from it).
changeset:1259 removes the attempt to focusEditor() on a None selection when creating a range. I have no idea if this will have side-effects, but it appears to help.
focusEditor() however is still used in quite a few places, like when inserting html. I suspect that this means that there is more than just this broken when it comes to absolute positioned editing in IE.
We could use somebody who can put in some debugging time into working out the selection, range and focusEditor() stuff for IE, since it appears to have gotten a bit buggy with IE8 :-(
Leaving open for 0.97, in the vain hopes that somebody might take pity on it and have a closer look.

BAD DAY, BRIGHT STOPS: Recently, while driving on Jennings Mill Road, my car was struck by a road machine; the driver did not stop. I felt so helpless as I began to assess the damage to my car when I saw a gentleman approaching. He introduced himself as Kelly Rainwater. He said that he and his friend, Ryan Caldwell (both of whom I later learned are employees of Clarke County), were behind us and saw what had happened, and would be glad to be witnesses. He called the Athens-Clarke County Police and stayed with me until the police arrived. He left his name and phone number as well as his friend's with me and the policeman.
The policeman went to find the driver of the machine, and soon he and the superintendent of the road crew came to the scene. I was assured that I would be compensated for any damages to my car, and I have been.
I can never say "thank you" enough for the support I received that day - not the least of which was from my dear husband, who also came to my rescue. He loaned me his car, took mine to be repaired and I continued on my way to a great day of shopping. My heartfelt thanks to those wonderful Clarke County employees who went beyond the call of duty!

Accusations of intellectual theft in Hollywood typically revolve around screenplays. But in the case of StarClipz vs. StarGreetz, the narrative length being tussled over is of the logline length.
Per L.A. Times reporter Joe Flint, local start-up StarGreetz Inc., which launched this week and allows people to purchase celebrity custom-greeting messages for dissemination on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media platforms, is being sued by StarClipz. That's a lot of "z's" to go along with the parties of the first part:
StarClipz and its founders, industry veterans Mark Lieber and Adam Newman, filed a lawsuit this year in U.S. District Court claiming that Frankel took their idea and business plan. Lieber and Newman not only accuse Frankel of swiping their idea and trying to cut them out of the operation but also of being motivated in part by "Lieber and Newman's status as a same-sex couple," their suit said.
The discriminatory aspect of the lawsuit, if tangibly documented, is obviously explosive. StarGreetz's high-profile Hollywood backers include attorneys Skip Brittenham and Ken Ziffren as well as veteran studio execs Dick Cook and Joe Roth.

wikiHow to Induce Labor at Home
Seven Methods:Eating Certain FoodsPositioning Your BodyGetting Physical ActivityPreparing Your Body for LaborUsing Herbal TreatmentsRelaxing your BodyWhat to Expect from a ProfessionalCommunity Q&A
Your pregnancy due date is typically calculated at 40 weeks of pregnancy. If you are beyond 40 weeks, you may be uncomfortable, impatient and excited to get the birthing process started. Before you turn to medical interventions to induce labor, try some natural ways at home to start labor.
Eating Certain Foods
1Eat pineapple. Pineapple is one fruit that may trigger labor. It contains bromelain, which may help soften and "ripen" the cervix. This is a key stage in bringing on labor.[1]
- Eat pineapple plain, drink pineapple juice or make a fruit smoothie with pineapple.
2Eat spicy foods. Some people swear by spicy foods as a catalyst for labor. Mexican food or foods with hot chilis might help bring on labor. Be careful that these foods don't give you indigestion in this late stage of pregnancy.
- Some research show that eating spicy foods might actually stave off labor, thanks to the capsaicin in some spicy foods. Capsaicin overtake naturally-occurring endorphins that help relieve pain.[2]
3Eat licorice. Black licorice is said to stimulate labor. Get natural licorice that contains less sugar. You can also get licorice in pill form. Licorice can stimulate cramps in the bowel by having a laxative effect. Bowel cramps may help induce uterine cramps.[3]
4Eat garlic. When you eat enough garlic, you may stimulate your bowels. This can cause you to empty your bowels, which gives room for the baby to move lower in your body. Once the baby moves down, it engages more with your uterus and cervix, readying your body for labor.[4]
- Prepare foods with lots of garlic, as long as it doesn't give you indigestion.
5Eat plenty of fiber. Foods that are rich in fiber will help you avoid being constipated.[5] If you are constipated, you will have a full bowel or rectum, which takes up space that the baby may need to move lower down in your body. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables during the last few weeks of your pregnancy. Eating prunes and other dried fruits can help as well.
6Drink red raspberry leaf tea. This tea can strengthen and tone the uterus, and can help the muscles start to contract. Brew a cup by pouring 6 ounces of boiling water over one tea bag. Let it steep for 3 minutes. Let it cool and drink.
- Make red raspberry leaf iced tea in the summer for a refreshing drink.
7Drink cumin tea. Cumin can be used for digestive problems and also to start menstruation and to relieve bloating.[6] Brew a cup of tea using cumin seeds to bring on labor.
- Add some sugar or honey to counteract the bitterness of the tea.
Positioning Your Body
1Rest on all fours. Resting on all fours will help the baby into a good position. When the baby's head puts downward pressure on your cervix, the cervix starts to efface, or shortens and thins out. Resting on all fours for 10 minutes at a time, several times a day, can help move the baby's head into the optimal position.[7]
2Don't recline backward on the couch. You are probably exhausted at this late stage of pregnancy and ready to just relax. But reclining or sitting back on the couch can be counterproductive to making sure the baby is in the right position for labor. Instead, lay on the couch on your left side, slightly rolled forward. Prop yourself up with cushions to make it comfortable.[8]
3Bounce on a birth ball. A birth ball is a large bouncy ball (they are also used in exercising) that can help you sit comfortably towards the end of pregnancy. You can also use this ball to help you cope with labor. Sitting or bouncing on the ball, while spreading your legs wide, can help the baby move downward.[9]
Getting Physical Activity
1Go for a walk. Walking can help stir the baby into moving downward in your body. Once the baby's head puts pressure on the cervix, labor isn't far behind. Try walking for 15-20 minutes. Getting out in the fresh air can also be beneficial.[10]
- Try walking up a steep hill. This will force your body to lean forward at an angle. Leaning at a 40-45 degree angle can help the baby move in the right downward direction.
2Try galloping. Galloping, or moving one leg forward and hopping the back leg to catch up, can help jar the baby slightly. Be careful when trying this to make sure you don't trip over your feet.[11]
3Walk up a few flights of stairs. Walking up stairs will force your body to lean at an angle (about 40-45 degrees), which can help the baby move lower down in your body. Be sure to hold onto the handrail to make sure you are ascending the stairs safely.[12]
- Pounding your feet on each step can also help.
4Clean the house. Doing a semi-strenuous activity can help bring on labor. Cleaning out the garage, vacuuming, or mopping the floors gets your body moving, which can activate labor. You'll have the added bonus of having a clean house when the baby is born.
Preparing Your Body for Labor
1Have sex. Having sex with a partner can help release prostaglandins, which are similar to hormones in your body. Prostaglandins can bring on labor. Sperm from an ejaculation inside the vagina can help to soften and dilate the cervix, also readying the body for labor.[13]
- Having an orgasm stimulates prostaglandins, so if you don't feel comfortable having sex, you can still have an orgasm on your own.
- Do not have sex if your water has already broken, as this can put you at risk for infection.
2Stimulate your nipples. Nipple stimulation is another way to induce uterine contractions. Use your thumb and forefinger to roll the nipple for 2 minutes. Give it a rest for 3 minutes. Continue this process for about 20 minutes. If you don't feel any contractions, increase the rolling part to 3 minutes, with the rests lasting 2 minutes.
- Use olive oil on your fingers to prevent irritation.
3Use acupressure. Acupressure is similar to acupuncture, a traditional Chinese bodywork technique that promotes relaxation and healing. According to this healing technique, the body has acupoints through which energy flows.[14] Applying direct, firm pressure to two of these points may help induce labor.[15] To use acupressure:
- Locate the pressure points, which are in the webbing between your thumb and your index finger and on your lower leg about 3 inches (8 cm) above the inside of your ankle bone.
- Pinch the webbing of your hand. Rub for 30-60 seconds by moving in a circular motion.[16]
- Press firmly with the tip of a finger or two fingers on the spot on your leg. Rub in a circular motion.
- With either of these pressure points, stop rubbing when you have a contraction. Start rubbing again when the contraction stops.
4Use reflexology. Reflexology is a method of using pressure points in the feet to trigger labor within 24-48 hours.[17] Use the pressure points that correspond to the pituitary, bladder, solar plexus, and ovaries and uterus to activate your body into labor. Put direct, firm pressure on one of these points, or rub in a circular motion with firm pressure.[18]
- Pituitary: Located on the big toe, this pressure point will activate the pituitary gland, which releases hormones like oxytocin.
- Bladder: Located on the bottom of the foot near the instep, this pressure point can help the muscles around your uterus contract, which can in turn start uterine contractions.
- Solar plexus: Located in the center of your foot sole, this point will help you relax and feel more balanced.
- Ovaries and uterus: Located on your inner ankle, just below the malleolus (the bony part of the ankle that sticks out), this pressure point may be tender. This can jumpstart uterine contractions.
- Do not attempt reflexology before you reach 38 weeks, which can put you at risk for preterm labor. Definitely do not try it in the first trimester of pregnancy, as it can put you at risk for a miscarriage.[19]
5Try castor oil. Inducing labor by ingesting castor oil happens by causing intestinal cramps and stimulating the bowels. By contracting intestinal and bowel muscles, you can cause uterine contractions. These methods will cause diarrhea, which can be extremely uncomfortable.[20]
- Mix 2 ounces of castor oil in a glass of juice. Drink it all at once.
- Alternately, you can try an in-home enema. However, use this method only once, and proceed with extreme caution. It can clear out your bowels and leave you quite dehydrated and uncomfortable.
Using Herbal Treatments
1Take evening primrose oil. Evening primrose oil contains prostaglandins, which is the hormone-like substance that induces contractions and helps soften the cervix. Take this oil orally in 500mg capsules 3 times a day. [21]
- Alternately, insert a capsule at bedtime into the vagina. The moist environment of the vagina will melt the capsule and disperse the gel throughout the cervix.
2Take cohosh. Cohosh root is a medicinal plant that can be used to treat symptoms of menstruation, menopause and osteoporosis, and to induce labor.[22] It is available as black or blue cohosh root, typically in water-based or alcohol-based tincture form.[23] Follow the dosing instructions on the package.
- Black cohosh is thought to be more effective than blue cohosh.
3Try homeopathic remedies. Homeopathic remedies such as Pulsatilla and Caulophyllum can be used to stimulate labor.[24] Pulsatilla is often used to treat menstrual symptoms, as well as headaches and insomnia.[25] Caulophyllum can also help tone the uterine muscles, which helps with productive contractions.[26]
- Follow the dosing instructions on the package for both of these remedies.
Relaxing your Body
1Take a warm bath. Sitting in a warm bath can help you relax your body and release tension in your muscles. Put a few drops of lavender essential oil into the water to help calm your mind.
- Make sure the water is not so hot that your skin turns red. You don't want to stress the baby with excessive heat.
2Try visualization. Sit in a meditative state and imagine the start of the birth process. Breathe deeply and visualize your contractions starting. Visualize your cervix dilating. Imagine your baby moving further down your body to the birth canal.[27]
- Search online for an audio meditation for inducing labor. These are often available as downloadable mp3 tracks. They may also be available by searching for "hypnobirthing," which uses similar techniques to sustain you throughout the entire natural birthing process.[28]
3Have a good cry. Crying can release tension in your body, which can help your body relax enough to bring on labor. This point in your pregnancy can be a very stressful time, so give yourself the opportunity to cry it out.
- Grab a box of tissues and watch a good tearjerker movie to get the tears started if you need to.
4Get a massage. Getting a relaxing massage can be a great way to help your body stay calm. Make sure your massage practitioner is knowledgeable about giving prenatal massage. When you are getting your massage, lie down on your left side with a pillow between your knees to support your body.
What to Expect from a Professional
1Know when a would doctor will induce labor. If you are committed to a home birth, you should still have a doctor or midwife present. Most doctors will not rush to induce labor unless there are extenuating circumstances, including when:
- Your water breaks, but there are no contractions.
- You are two weeks past your due date.
- You have a uterine infection
- You have gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, or not enough amniotic fluid.
- There is a problem with the placenta or baby's positioning/growth.[29]
2Expect the doctor's first action to be to strip the membrane from the amniotic sac. With gloved fingers, the doctor will reach into the cervix and rub the membrane of the amniotic sac until it separates from the uterine wall. Naturally-released hormones then usually kick-start labor.[30]
3Expect the doctor to potentially break your water manually. Known medically as an "amniotomy," the doctor uses a thin hook to break the amniotic sac. This almost always brings on labor within a few hours.
- While it is short, this may be painful and uncomfortable.
4Prepare to be prescribed prostaglandin, a natural hormone. It may be applied directly to the vagina or taken orally. This usually happens in a hospital, and it thins out the cervix to prepare it for labor.
- This often leads to strong cramping and some pain.[31]
5Expect to be prescribed oxytocin through an IV at the hospital. This is generally for slowed or stalling labor. In emergencies, like those outlined above, it can also help induce labor.
- Labor induced with oxytocin often leads to more frequent contractions.[32]
6With your doctor, understand the risks of inducing labor. These strategies do not always work, especially if the body is not quite ready to go into labor. If you've tried to induce labor and it failed, it is imperative to get to a medical facility. The following risks and precautions should be carefully minded:
- Infection (especially if water has broken)
- Tears in the uterine wall
- Late pre-term babies (beginning labor prematurely)
- Irregular contractions.[33]
Community Q&A
I am 39 weeks pregnant and there are no signs of labor. Should I be worried?A full term is 36-40 weeks (9-10 months). If you are more than 42 weeks, then you should talk to a doctor.
Am 41 weeks pregnant with my second baby (first is 8 years had by c section) and my doctor says I cannot be induced. What should I do?A reason you may not be induced is because: You haven't reach 42 weeks or you had a c-section. Having a vaginal birth after a c-section can cause complications.
Does sex for the first time hurt?wikiHow ContributorSome people will experience pain and some won't. Both are normal. If you have consistent pain during intercourse, you may want to talk with your doctor. After the first time, it shouldn't be painful.
Can a baby be born at 32 weeks?According to MarchOfDimes.com, a baby born premature at 32 weeks has a 98% chance of survival. So, yes, a baby can be born at 32 weeks safely.
What should I do if I'm 42 weeks pregnant and not having labor contractions?wikiHow ContributorIf you're past your due date and still not experiencing labor contractions, see your doctor to determine the best course of action. They may want to induce you.
I'm 41 weeks and having irregular contractions and a light show of blood. Is this normal?
Is using a hip abductor at the gym bad to dilate faster?
- You can also try a bumpy car ride, which can jar the baby downward in your body.
- Consult with your midwife or doctor before trying any of these methods.
- Do not use any of these techniques until you are at 40 weeks of pregnancy. While none of these techniques is failsafe as far as in inducing labor, you should allow as much time as possible before trying to jumpstart the childbirth process.

Back sweater done!
I have finished the back of my sweater this morning. I'll start the front later today.
I have finished the back of my sweater this morning. I'll start the front later today.
Hi Guys,
I found this video and thought it might be of interest to some of you. It's all about weaving touch-sensitive conductive yarns into fabrics. Google and Levi Jeans have really taken it a lot further than just making gloves able to connect with touch screens. Enjoy.
Yes, summer has finally arrived here and I have a new blanket! I needed it earlier when it was rather chilly (and they turned the heat off in the building) so I started on this one. It took me about 5 and a half weeks. I had some trouble with my hand and was delayed somewhat.
I am a real fan of Arne and Carlos from Norway. So when they designed six different sock yarns for Regia, I had to buy them. I knit up the first pair and am very pleased with the pattern and with the yarn itself. 2.25 mm needles.
I have started a new raglan sweater lately. Will it be a crew or turtle neck, I don't know yet!
I had 9 balls of beige in Jamieson and Smith 4 ply Jumper Shetland Wool and dug out out 9 other balls of different colours. I used lovat, mustard, silver, periwinkle, sand, live lobster, spring green, oatmeal, and grape. I kept them in that order with a row of beige every other row. I knitted it with 3.25 mm needles. It is nice and warm and will be great in the autumn.
Hello All,
I'm looking at a pattern/chart and I ran across a No Stitch symbol. I'm curious, how does one execute that No Stitch?
Hello gents!
I don't know the ID of the gentleman who does the wonderful fair isle knitting on here but maybe someone could bring this link to his attention.
Found a wonderful vintage fair isle pattern online. Not sure if it'll be his cup of tea or not, but here's the link anyway.
Cheers fellas
This pair of tube socks has been in the works for quite some time but were finished this morning. A little bit of ripping back when I first started them [too tight] and at the very end [reshaping the toe decreasing for a more pleasing look] but, otherwise, a pretty fast and satisfying project when I could just work on them.
These are the latest socks. They took exactly 4 weeks to knit; the second in only 10 days. I would've been faster if I'd not been reading so much. LOL
The yarn is from Mary Maxim and was a gift. These socks will be given to a friend who admires the colors. Not that I'm too butch to wear them myself.

The Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U) recognized the Energy Justice Program of Colorado Law's Center for Energy and Environmental Security (CEES) and appointed 2L Jacquelyn Jampolsky, a volunteer CEES Policy Analyst, as its campus representatives for the CU-Boulder during 2010–11. CGI U Campus Representatives have the opportunity to: Conduct outreach to engage students with CGI U Help develop and support CGI U commitments Work with students, university administrators, faculty, and youth organizations Organize speaker events on and off campus which address global issues Assist in fundraising for CGI U commitmentsCGIEstablished in 2005 by President Bill Clinton, CGI convenes global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges. Since 2005, CGI Annual Meetings have brought together more than 125 current and former heads of state, 15 Nobel Peace Prize winners, hundreds of leading global CEOs, heads of foundations and major philanthropists, directors of the most effective non-governmental organizations, and prominent members of the media. CGI members have made more than 1,700 commitments valued at $57 billion, which have already improved the lives of 200 million people in more than 170 countries. Commitments made at the 2009 Annual Meeting are expected to affect almost 200 million people. In 2007, President Clinton expanded CGI's unique model membership and action to include college and university campuses by launching CGI U. Energy Justice ProgramThe World Energy Justice Program of CEES focuses on the ignored third of the world amounting to nearly two billion people, who rely on cow dung and other injurious forms of biomass for cooking, illumination and heating. Their lack of clean energy leads to millions of deaths every year. November 2010 ConferenceCEES organized the first major international conference on Energy Justice at the University of Colorado in Boulder in the fall of 2009. A follow up conference co-sponsored by the CGI U will be held on November 5-6, 2010, on how to globalize appropriate sustainable energy technologies (ASETs) such as cook stoves, solar lanterns, treadle pumps, bio-digestors, mini hydro, small windmills and solar applications. The 2010 conference will canvas ways of attracting the necessary financing for ASETs from entrepreneurs, as well as how to reform international funding mechanisms such as the clean development mechanism (CDM) under the Kyoto Protocol.

XForms: XML Powered Web Forms: Chapter 1
XForms: XML Powered Web Forms: Chapter 1
Reproduced from T.V. Raman's XForms: XML Powered Web Forms by permission of Addison-Wesley. ISBN 0321154991, copyright 2004. All rights reserved. See http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/0321154991 for more information.
Since their inception in 1993, HTML forms have come to form the underpinnings of user interaction on the World Wide Web (WWW). The convenience afforded by the ability to deploy applications at all levels of complexity on the Web, and thereby provide consistent end-user access to information and application services via a universal Web client, created a platform-independent environment for electronic commerce across the Internet.
However, building on the essential simplicity of HTML forms has resulted in an extremely complex Web programming model; today, Web application developers are forced to work at different levels of abstraction—and, consequently, duplicate application and business logic in multiple programming languages—in order to deliver a satisfactory end-user experience. These problems become even more complex given the need to perform electronic transactions with a variety of different devices and user interface modalities. As we deploy Web access to software at all levels of complexity ranging from business back-ends to simple electronic transactions, these issues can be better addressed by revisiting the design of HTML forms that are the essential underpinnings of the transactional Web.
XForms—a revision to the existing HTML forms technology developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)1—builds on the advantages of XML to create a versatile forms module that can stand the Web in good stead for the next decade.
Section 1.1 traces the evolution of Web applications and describes the problems inherent in the present-day Web programming model that motivated the work on XForms. We design a simple questionnaire application using HTML forms in Section 1.2 and enumerate the software components needed to deploy the questionnaire on the Web. We then recast this application in XForms in Section 1.3 to give a bird's-eye view of the various components that constitute W3C XForms. We conclude this chapter with a summary of key XForms features and their benefits in Section 1.4. The remaining chapters of this book will cover these components in detail along with numerous examples that illustrate their use.
1.1 Background
HTML forms for creating interactive Web pages were introduced in 1993. The addition of a handful of simple markup constructs that allowed HTML authors to create input fields and other user interaction elements enabled Web sites to deploy Web pages that could collect user input as simple name-value pairs. The values input by the user were transmitted via HTTP and processed on the server via Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts. This new innovation spawned a multitude of interactive Web sites that experimented with these constructs to create interfaces ranging from simple user surveys to prototype shopping applications.
As electronic commerce on the Web gained momentum during the mid-90s, Web developers moved from experimenting with HTML forms to deploying real end-user applications to the Web. These forms-powered HTML pages provided a Web interface to standard transaction oriented applications. In this programming model, the Web developer authored a user interface in HTML and created corresponding server-side logic as CGI scripts that processed the submitted data before communicating it to the actual application. The combination of the HTML user interface and the server-side logic used to process the submitted data is called the Web application. The Web application in turn communicates user input to the application, receives results, and embeds these results in an HTML page to create a user interface to be delivered as a server response to the user's Web browser.
This method of deploying electronic transactions on the Web where end users
could interact via a standard browser created a platform-independent environment
for conducting electronic commerce across the Internet. Examples of such Web
applications range from CNN's opinion polls to electronic storefronts
like amazon.com. During this period, the
server-side components making up Web applications gained in sophistication.
The simple-minded CGI script came to be superseded by server-side technologies
such as Java servlets, specialized Perl
2http://perl.apache.org/ [Link updated - Ed.]
As the ecommerce Web matured, vendors rushed to deploy server-side middleware and developer tools to aid in the authoring and deployment of interactive Web applications. By this time, such tools were almost mandatory, since the essential simplicity of HTML forms resulted in scalability problems when developing complex Web applications.
Using this programming model, developing, deploying, and maintaining a simple shopping application on the Web require authoring content in a variety of languages at several different levels of abstraction. Once developed, such Web applications remain expensive to maintain and update. Notice that the move from experimenting with Web interaction technologies to deploying real-world applications to the Web brings with it a significant change; in most real-world scenarios, the application to be deployed to the Web already exists. Even in the case of new applications, only a portion of the application in question gets deployed to the Web. As an example, only the electronic storefront of a shopping site gets deployed to the Web; such shopping sites are backed by software that manages customer information, product catalogs, and other business objects making up an electronic store. Thus, deploying complex interactive sites involves creating the business logic and then exposing relevant portions of this application to a Web application that creates a user interface accessible via a Web browser.

Rebuild Only the Indexes that Need Help
July 3, 2008[From SQL Server Magazine]
A common misconception among SQL Server DBAs is that they need to rebuild their indexes ofteneven as often as every night. The theory is that, to be effective, indexes cant have any fragmentation. Another common misconception about indexes is that if you dont rebuild them frequently, theyll become corrupted, and then youre in a HEAP of trouble. (Apologies for the pun.)

roboticus answered the immediate question, but note that this is why you should avoid using $a and $b a general purpose variables: they are magical and should really only be used inside sort.
Note too that using sort without a {...} bit is like sort {$a cmp $b}. That is, sort's default is to do a string sort.

Record Store Day
[UPDATE: This year's event is over now, but the RSD Web site remains active all year.]
Since this is the fourth annual Record Store Day, you should know what to do: Go to your local store and buy lotsa "records," be they vinyl LPs, CDs, or whatever else your shop happens to carry.
Everything you want to know about this worthy event can found at recordstoreday.com.
When I say "local store," I do not mean Walmart or Best Buy. I mean the independent shop around the corner, or down the street, or in the next town - the kind of shop that, especially in this day and age, needs your business.
Don't know where your local store is anymore? Or you do know, but you don't know if it's participating? Find out here.
To entice you to go shopping, the organizers of Record Store Day (working with many record labels) are offering exclusive items for sale at certain (not all) participating stores. Examples:
- The Decemberists: Live at Bull Moose, CD
- Foo Fighters: Medium Rare, 120-gram vinyl LP collection of covers
- Bruce Springsteen & the E Streeet Band: "Gotta Get the Feeling" b/w "Racing in the Street," 10-inch vinyl
A complete list can be found here. For a printable list that you can take with you to the store(s), go to the RSD home page and look for THE LIST: PDF.
There will also be special in-store events. That complete list can be found here.
Take it from Paul McCartney: "There's nothing as glamorous to me as a record store. When I recently played Amoeba in L.A., I realized what fantastic memories such a collection of music brings back when you see it all in one place. This is why I'm more than happy to support Record Store Day, and I hope that these kinds of stores will be there for us all for many years to come."
Or take it from Nellie McKay: "Independent record stores are aural cathedrals. . . . They're in it for love, not to turn a huge profit or to bend popular taste to a uniform will. Viva la indie!"
You know what to do.
- Ken Richardson

A man who is believed to have been stabbed in the stomach in a fight outside a bar is in a serious condition, police have said.
The 25-year-old was wounded outside the Coco Lounge in George Street, Nottingham city centre, shortly after 1am on Sunday,
Nottinghamshire Police have put up a cordon around the scene which they expect to be in place for most of the morning while they carry out inquiries.
A police spokesman said the victim was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre with a suspected stab wound to the abdomen.
The suspect is a black man around 5ft 8in tall.

Countdown to MMA's Greatest: Part 4June 22, 2008
The rankings so far have been: #33 Shinya Aoki, #32 Don Frye, #31 Pat Miletich, #30 Mark Kerr, #29 Igor Vovchanchyn, #28 Josh Barnett, #27 Sean Sherk, #26 Tim Sylvia, #25 Dan Henderson, #24 Ken Shamrock, #23 Tito Ortiz, #22 Frank Shamrock, #21 Uriaj Faber, #20 Cro Cop, #19 Sakuraba, #18 Matt Hughes, #17 Lyoto Machida, #16 Wanderlei Silva.
#15 Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua (6'0 201 pounds)
The 26 year old Rua has a 16-3 record with noteworthy wins over Quinton Jackson, Ricardo Arona, Kevin Randleman, and Allstair Overeem.
Shogun dominated the light heavyweight division in Pride but suffered a setback when he recently lost to Forrest Griffin. A win against Griffin would have setup a rematch against Jackson.
Rua was supposed to fight Chuck Liddell in June, but he's recovering from a knee injury. The fact that Rua is young (he won't be 27 until November) and he has dominant striking skills (13 TKOs) make him a likely candidate to crack the top ten soon. The one question that remains may be how he fairs in the UFC's Light Heavyweight division, which is arguably the toughest division in all of MMA.
#14 Rickson Gracie (5'10 185 pounds)
Gracie's professional record is listed as 11-0. He is a legend in MMA circles and a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu champion. Rickson is tough to rank because of his limited MMA record, which spans nearly twenty years.
There was a rumor over two years ago that Rickson would come out of retirement to fight in December of 2006. That never materialized and it looks like the 50 year old Gracie is officially retired from MMA competition.
#13 Dan "The Beast" Severn (6'2 250 pounds)
Severn has compiled a 86-15-7 record during a long and illustrious career. Severn's reputation does suffer, though, from not knowing when to call it quits. Severn still fights, despite being 50 years old.
He recently fought against Pavel Botka on May 3rd 2008, losing via decision.
His reputation also suffers from his lack of fighting against top tier competition. Severn is a UFC Hall of Famer who defeated Ken Shamrock when Shamrock was in his prime and won by decision against a young Forrest Griffin.
Severn is a substitute teacher and runs mixed martial arts classes in the Michigan area.
#12 Takanori Gomi (5'8 154 pounds)
Gomi suffers from not being a household name in the United States as he has spent most of his career fighting in Japan. He has compiled an impressive 28-3 record. The 29 year old has noteworthy wins over Jens Pulver, Duane Ludwig, and Marcus Auriello.
Gomi is scheduled to fight in the Sengoku 4 event in Japan in August.
#11 Bas 'El Guapo' Rutten (6'1 205 pounds)
Rutten is probably known more for his work in the broadcast booth because injuries cut short a promising MMA career in which he compiled a 28-4 record.
Rutten has noteworthy wins over Kevin Randleman and Frank Shamrock.
Rutten took a nearly ten year layoff before he defeated Ruben Villareal in 2006. The 43 year old has since gone back into retirement.

USC spokesman Steve Fink confirmed Saturday night redshirt freshman Sheldon Royster is "considering" transferring. The BigSpur.com reported earlier Saturday that Royster had not been at practice recently and was considering a transfer.
Royster's departure would be another blow to the Gamecocks' defensive depth. USC will be without cornerback Akeem Auguste, safety Sharrod Golightly, cornerback Rico McWilliams, linebacker Marcquis Roberts, cornerback Cadarious Sanders and defensive tackle JT Surratt for the opening game Thursday at Vanderbilt. Auguste, McWilliams and Roberts are injured, Golightly and Surratt are suspended, and Sanders has transfered.
Royster was a heavily recruited prospect from New Jersey when he signed with the Gamecocks. He has battled health issues at USC, most notably diabetes, and has not been able to crack the two deep on the depth chart. He is no longer listed on the 2012 roster on the team website.

OFT launches its first education resource to boost consumer skills
The Office of Fair Trading has today launched its first ever education sector resource, with a new consumer education toolkit for teachers. This reflects the importance that the OFT places on helping to build skills and confidence amongst consumers to support them in dealing with businesses and making purchases.
The toolkit, 'Skilled to go', is a free online resource
that uses everyday consumer situations, such as choosing a mobile
phone package or shopping online, as the basis to develop consumer
skills, knowledge and confidence.
The OFT developed the toolkit with LLU+ at London South Bank University, one of the UK's leading experts in literacy, numeracy and language. It is designed for use by teachers in further education settings including colleges, community education and offender learning to support learners on literacy and numeracy courses.
'Skilled to go' is a flexible learning resource which is easy to use and can be incorporated into existing class material or used on its own. The activities can be customised according to learner ability and the teachers' notes for each module include information on consumer rights so that teachers can feel confident in delivering the content.
'Skilled to go' currently has three modules: Buying and selling, Technology, and Utilities, and is available in variations for England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to reflect the legal differences in each of the countries as well as relevant geographic examples and websites.
The launch follows a successful trial of the toolkit at City and Islington College in London and Glasgow College of Nautical Studies. The OFT will be reviewing and updating the toolkit regularly to keep the content up to date.
Sam Brew, OFT Consumer Education Manager, said:
'Signing up to a new mobile phone package or switching energy supplier, for example, can be daunting tasks. Buyers have to weigh up a whole range of options against their own needs, check the small print and know their rights if something goes wrong.
'One of the OFT's most important tasks is to help consumers deal effectively with businesses and make informed buying decisions, both so that they get a good deal, and to ensure that markets across the UK function efficiently. This first step into the education sector reflects our desire to find new ways to help build consumers' skills, especially amongst more vulnerable groups, whether they are aged 16 or 80.'
During June and July the OFT and LLU+ will be running free workshops in London, Manchester, Cardiff, and Glasgow to introduce teachers to the toolkit. Further details can be found on the OFT website: http://www.oft.gov.uk/skilledtogo
1. Photographs of the toolkit pilot and interviews are available. For more details contact the OFT press office.
2. To book a place at one of the free workshop events, contact
Trevor Jones at LLU+ on 0207 7815 6260 or email@example.com.
Dates and locations:
* Wednesday 25 June, Palace Hotel, Oxford Road, Manchester
* Monday 30 June, Cardiff Marriott Hotel, Mill Lane, Cardiff
* Tuesday 1 July, LLU+ London South Bank University, London
* Wednesday 2 July, LLU+ London South Bank University, London
* Friday 4 July, Radisson SAS Hotel, Argyle Street, Glasgow
3. 'Skilled to go' was piloted in two further education colleges during January to March 2008. Staff and students on literacy, numeracy and ESOL courses at Glasgow College of Nautical Studies in Glasgow and at City and Islington College in London trialed the materials and gave their suggestions for how the content could be improved. LLU+ and OFT revised 'Skilled to go' for the launch, taking on board this feedback. A full evaluation report of the pilot project will be available later in summer 2008.
4. The OFT's consumer education work supports people in becoming more confident, assertive consumers who can help to promote competitive markets by demanding high standards from business. OFT has developed Skilled to go to support the OFT's consumer education strategy, which aims to give consumers the skills and knowledge to function confidently, effectively and responsibly when buying goods and services.
5. LLU+ at South Bank University is a national consultancy and professional development centre for staff working in the areas of literacy, numeracy, dyslexia, family learning and English for Speakers of Other Languages. http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/lluplus/

Trainer David Brideoake has confirmed that Griante will make her debut at Group 1 level when she contests the 2015 William Reid Stakes at Moonee Valley on Friday night.
Griante recorded a maiden win at Group level when she took out the Group 3 Sportingbet Series Final (1200m) at Caulfield on October 11 and she returned to racing with a credible fourth behind Tycoon Tara in the Group 3 Bellmaine Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on February 14 before she returned to winning form with a tough effort in the Group 3 Wenona Girl Quality (1200m) at Royal Randwick on March 7.
Brideoake told Racing.com that Griante had come through her Wenona Girl Quality victory in outstanding condition and he believes that the Good Journey mare is worthy of a chance at the highest level of racing in the William Reid Stakes.
"She's done really well since her trip to Sydney and I think it's a good opportunity for her to have a shot at a Group 1," Brideoake said.
"She's won a couple of Group 3s, it's her third run, she's in fine shape and has continued to improve, she ran a class record in Sydney and she's got excellent form around Shamal Wind who went on and won the Oakleigh Plate so I certainly don't think that she'll be out of her depth."
Griante has done the majority of her racing in Melbourne, but she will be having her first race start at Moonee Valley in the William Reid Stakes this weekend.
The four-year-old has an excellent record around the tight-turning Caulfield track and Brideoake said that the talented mare gives him every indication that she will relish the unique Moonee Valley track in the William Reid Stakes.
"I'm really keen to see this mare run around Moonee Valley, I just have an inkling the track will suit her, she's got a very quick turn of foot," Brideoake said.
"She galloped Saturday morning and it was probably as good a gallop as she's ever put in."
Griante has been included in the nominations for the Group 1 Queen Of The Turf Stakes (1600m) at Royal Randwick on April 11, but Brideoake said that the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes (1200m) on the same day is a more likely option for his star mare.
The 2015 William Reid Stakes nominations will be released this afternoon and they are set to include Group 1 winners Rebel Dane and Famous Seamus, talented mare Angelic Light and potentially Team Hawkes-trained Deep Field.
You can find the best odds for Griante or any other runner in the 2015 William Reid Stakes with leading online bookmaker Ladbrokes.com.au.
Sign-up and deposit and quote the code BETBONUS to score a free bet worth up to $250 that can be used to back the winner of the William Reid Stakes or any other race at Moonee Valley on Friday night.

The issue of City bonuses has become political dynamite, so a lot was hanging on the publication of the FSA's remuneration code on 17 December 2010. Despite trepidation in the City, the new code retains a certain level of flexibility, but the challenge for the companies affected is clear: to implement the regulations prior to 1 July 2011 while at the same time getting to grips with those aspects of the code that are still open to FSA interpretation. They must balance the need to retain key staff with the need to comply with the new regulations.
The original code of 2009 applied to 26 large banks and building societies, but from 1 January some 2,700 companies were brought into the scope of the code, including a large number of asset managers, plus some corporate finance and venture capital players, financial advisers and brokers.
One of these is asset management company Old Mutual. Unusually for a lawyer, its general counsel Meekal Hashmi is head of both legal and HR. Hashmi argues that there are advantages to having this dual role, since in the new regulatory environment the functions are intrinsically linked.
"I'm not an employment specialist, but as a lawyer I can bring a certain amount of legal rigour to the HR department given the increasing risk that people carry within an organisation," he says. "In the financial services sector, the people risk is a large one. I see risk everywhere."
Taking the code and applying it has been tricky, Hashmi says, because desks run differing strategies that have historically given rise to varying remuneration principles.
"We're multi-boutique and therefore have long-only funds and hedge funds, so we have people paid different amounts of money and paid in different ways too," says Hashmi. "There are different charging structures under those and you need to be able to articulate a cohesive policy so they don't leave. And on top of that you now have to layer the remuneration code."
With full implementation of the code due in July this year, Hashmi has been conducting a long exercise in reviewing Old Mutual's remuneration policy to make sure it is compliant with the FSA regulation.
Of particular interest to the regulator is the treatment of what are termed 'code staff', a group of employees to which the more prescriptive sections of the code will apply. Code staff are defined as persons who perform a significant influence function for a company; senior managers or risk-takers whose professional activities could affect a company's risk profile. Tier 2, 3 and 4 organisations may have to provide a list of these people to the FSA.
"Remuneration of code staff requires extra awareness of the rules," notes Hashmi.
Under the remuneration code the company as a whole is categorised, but in an asset management business a fund can be an isolated legal entity.
This has given rise to debate over whether fund managers are code staff as they do not put the wider organisation at risk. "I doubt we'll be putting all our fund managers as code staff," says Hashmi. "Obviously our key fund managers are on the executive team so they'll be designated as code staff, but it's not an automatic thing that if you're a fund manager you'll be designated as such. If you're taking risk for a separate legal entity it may be the case that your activities do not have a material impact on your company's risk profile. We'll look at people individually. You can't generalise."
He adds: "At the moment people are focusing on which tier they fall into when complying with the code."
As we went to press it was unclear whether the FSA would characterise Old Mutual as Tier 3 or Tier 4, but whatever the outcome the company has to explore the implications of the code for all its employees.
"The consequences in terms of tax and employment law issues are only just starting to be discussed," says Hashmi.
To take just one example, in section 8 the code states: "A firm must ensure that a substantial portion, which is at least 50 per cent, of any variable remuneration consists of an appropriate balance of a) shares or equivalent ownership interests […] or share-linked instruments or equivalent non-cash instruments in the case of a non-listed firm, or b) where appropriate, capital instruments. […] The instruments must be subject to an appropriate retention policy designed to align incentives with the longer term interests of the firm."
Added to this, section 12 of the code introduces a deferral concept, stating: "A firm must not award, pay or provide a variable remuneration component unless a substantial portion of it, which is at least 40 per cent, is deferred over a period which is not less than three to five years."
Tier 4 companies have to comply with the restrictions around guarantees and termination payments, while Tier 3 companies also have extra restrictions on the balance between salary and bonus.
However, the FSA encourages all companies to consider these deferral methods as part of enhanced risk management.
"Most asset management firms I know have already introduced or will be introducing a deferral element to their remuneration even though they don't strictly need to," says Hashmi.
Thanks to his dual role of head of legal and HR Hashmi is already predicting the next set of issues to be addressed.
"From an employment law perspective, you're going to have to make changes to people's contracts, so you'll have to consult with them," he says.
"You're opening yourself up to individual claims if you change the contract so you can claw back their bonus. Could this be a potential constructive dismissal claim? This hasn't been addressed in employment law thinking."
At the same time, adds Hashmi, the FSA code could create issues in terms of HM Revenue & Customs' (HMRC) approach to taxing bonuses.
"If you're given a bonus, the HMRC view has always traditionally been to try and accelerate the time of the vesting and claim tax from you as soon as possible," he says. "This seems to contradict the FSA approach of holding back payments from individuals. The implications haven't been tested yet. Although the tax issues strictly may only apply to Tier 1 and 2 companies, any company that goes on to introduce some level of deferral at risk will face the same issues."
Whatever the outcome, the code signals a new climate in regulatory thinking.
"It's clear that these changes signal the arrival of a more intrusive regulatory regime that it is here to stay," elaborates Hashmi. "A decisive shift from the light-touch regime we had become used to in London. Given the regulations coming out of Brussels and the Government's attitue to the financial services sector, we'd better get used to an increasing amount of regulation."
"Still," Hashmi concludes, "it ensures a key role for the lawyer within the business."

Obviously the easiest way for the Giants to make the playoffs is to sweep Dallas and win one of the Jets and Skins games. This will give them division title.
Other Division title scenarios:
If the Giants win this week, against the Skins and against the Jets and Dallas loses to Philly, the Giants clinch the division before Week 17's rematch against Dallas making that game in all likelihoodmeaningless for the Giants. This occurs due to the common opponent edge being tipped in the Giants favor over the Cowboys if this scenario plays out.
Wild Card:
The Giants under no circumstances can end up in a 9-7 tie with either Chicago, Detroit or Atlanta. If they all tie or2 otherteams tie at 9-7 with the Giants, I am pretty sure the Giants willlose all tiebreakers in those scenarios as well. Basically if the Giants split with Dallas, beat the Skins & Jetsand Dallas beats Phillybut loses to Tampa (or wins obviously), Dallas wins the division and the Giants have to hope two of Atlanta, Detroit and Chicago go 1-3 to finish 8-8 behind the Giants at 9-7.
If they all tie at or if there are ties of any kindat 8-8 or 7-9, well good luck trying to figure that insanity out, lol.[*-)]

For some reason, notebook manufacturer Asus likes coating their notebooks in bamboo. We have to admit: it's an attractive aesthetic now… but in ten years, these notebooks are going to look just as tacky and throwback as your dad's wood panel basement.
Either way, Asus has just release two new notebooks infused with bamboo: the U43JC and U43F. Both notebooks boast a 14-inch display, and — natch — are well-coated with that exotic prince of Asiatic trees, the panda's delight.
For $999.99, you can get the U43JC, which is driven by an Intel Core i5 processor clocking in at 2.26GHz, as well as 4GB of RAM, 640GB of hard drive space and NVIDIA's GeForce 310M graphics chipset. Expect the standard ports, a webcam, facial recognition software for logging you in based solely upon your gruesome mug, and Optimus graphics switching which should help the U43JC attain its cited 5 hours and 10 minutes of batterylife.
Then there's the U43F, which costs $50 less, but is basically the same machine as the U43JC… just gimped with a slightly wimpier GPU. We're not sure why you'd hobble your performance even slightly over $50, but then again, we write here.
Interested? Both the U43JC and U43F will be available for order at the end of the month.

Eco Eating: Culinary Trend Mapping Report

Across America, consumers are tuning in to new food choices to support their evolving values around sustainability and ecology. We have learned enough in these last few years about food scarcity, climate change, population growth, water shortages, crop failure and the health of the oceans to recognize that the norms for buying and eating food have changed. Permanently.
It is becoming easier all the time to practice more sustainable eating, or eco eating. A wide network of institutions, health organizations, certification bodies and foodservice professionals are banding together to offer new and appealing choices. Eco Eating: Culinary Trend Mapping Report showcases new foods and ways of eating that address the issues of alternative protein sources, sustainable seafood and meat, local food supplies and creative cooking without meat.
While some sustainability trends, such as eating insects and edible food packaging, may seem a little far out, they are moving closer all that time thanks to support from the United Nations and creative entrepreneurs. Fine dining chefs are joining hotel chains to plant rooftop gardens and raise honeybees to create ultra-local food supplies. Chefs and restaurateurs at all levels are working with seafood certification boards to obtain sustainably raised seafood, whether from the ocean or a fish farm, and looking deeper into the sea for new types of fish, big and small, that can be transformed into delicious fare. A number of chain restaurants are also leading the industry by securing grass-fed beef supplies for tacos, burgers and sandwiches, showing other companies that where there is a demand, a supply can rise to fulfill it. Meanwhile, campaigns like the one for Meatless Mondays have had a great impact on foodservice institutions as well as busy parents looking for meal inspiration that is also lighter on the planet. This interest in non-animal protein has also fueled a growing trend for tofu, long a health food staple but now being seen as an authentic element of Asian cuisine as well as a flavorful base for meals of all kinds.
Beyond the obvious goals behind eco-eating, other consumer drivers push this trend along up the Trend Map. Our food choice decisions and complex and even contradictory: flavor adventure, local eating, exploring authentic foods, animal welfare considerations and even extreme eating all play a role in the trends analyzed in this report. Food manufacturers, grocery stores and restaurant chains are all making efforts towards sustainability in energy consumptions, shipping, building and more. Eco Eating: Culinary Trend Mapping Report analyzes key approaches to taking sustainable food choices and eco-eating habits to the next level.

Anything on the scale of Grangemouth's massive new Asda depot is going to have a big effect on its surrounding area.
Recent articles in The Falkirk Herald, detailing concerns over traffic build up and controversy over jobs, seem to point towards that impact being particularly negative.
However, according to the depot's general manager, the new facility is a positive addition to the Falkirk area.
And, responding to what he felt was negative coverage, Colin Reid invited the newspaper to tour the site and meet members of staff.
The Bainsford man, who now lives in Brightons, started working with Asda in 1989 as a warehouse operator. He now oversees an operation which serves the whole of Scotland.
One of the employees Asda consulted when the time came to design a top-notch storage facility - he visited other sites in the UK to see if there were things that could be learned from them - he also knows how important Asda's presence is to local employment.
"There are more 2000 people employed locally by Asda, with 1200 in the two depots and the rest in the shops," he said. "A national decision was taken to stay in this area."
Asda has come in for criticism over the jobs situation at the new depot, with some accusing the firm of misleading people over the employment opportunities the site would actually create.
The general manager takes issue with this, stating more jobs will be there when demand dictates.
While Asda took on 90 new members of staff during 2012, the majority of those employees were let go at the start of 2013 and only 21 were kept on in full-time posts.
Mr Reid said: "Staff knew when they signed their contracts they would leave on January 5. You need a certain number of staff over Christmas and peak periods and you plan for that.
"Things then drop off and a lot of these guys go."
The depot serves all 56 Asda stores in Scotland and two in England - shops in Carlisle and Corby, Northamptonshire - where there are sizeable settlements of Scots who like to keep stocked up on their Irn-Bru and Tunnocks goodies.
Mr Reid said the last month has seen volume increase to such an extent a further eight people have now been taken on as full-time members of staff, making a total of 29 new jobs.
"It's great when we can bring people back in," he added. "The full-time jobs are there, but only when we know what is happening with the opening of the new stores."
Three more Asda stores are scheduled to open in Scotland in 2013, which means more work for the Grangemouth depot and a need for more staff - a fact which pleases Mr Reid. He said: "The new stores opening this year will take us up past 60 in Scotland. Each store opening brings a requirement for four or five full-time positions in the depot and a capacity to handle 111 stores gives us 20 years of growth."
The depot only officially opened in November last year, and beat off competition from more than 20 UK-based facilities to be named Asda's Depot of the Year 2012. It was a tribute to the efforts of staff who kept deliveries running smoothly despite the upheaval of the transfer from the old West Mains Industrial Estate site.
Mr Reid said: "The changes at the West Mains site in the last eight years saw staff numbers more than double from 300 to 600. The capacity of the old depot was just not big enough – we were having to go to the likes of WH Malcolm to get them to store items for us.
"You almost become inefficient because you simply have not got the space to work with. From a health and safety point of view you are putting pressure on yourself and your colleagues when space is at a premium.
"Around 35 stores was all it could cope with and when we left it was serving 50 stores."
The former depot in West Mains will remain in Asda's hands for the moment. The possibility of the site being used in the future to facilitate home shopping was mentioned, but the firm is keeping its options open.
The Asda facility in Bankside will also continue to store and transport chilled goods, while the Grangemouth depot houses ambient goods - food and items which do not require cold storage.
Mr Reid said: "We have £25 million to £30 million of product stored in the building at any one time and nothing stays with us for longer than a week. Things are always moving through.
"Products come in here this afternoon and will be in Asda shops and stores tomorrow."

Pediatric palliative care focuses on infants (even prenatal), children, adolescents and young adults with complex or chronic conditions and their families, enhancing quality of life in partnership with cure-directed care.
Palliative care and curative care are not either/or. In fact, palliative care is most beneficial and effective for families when it is offered and delivered concurrently with disease-modifying therapy.
This approach aims to control pain and other symptoms, as well as to help with psychosocial, emotional, practical, spiritual, educational and developmental issues, which may contribute to suffering or interfere with healing.
Palliative care is truly the effort of a transdisciplinary team, including, but not limited to: physicians, nurses, social workers, case managers, bereavement specialists, chaplains, child life specialists, pharmacists, psychologists, volunteers, and physical and expressive therapists.
Palliative care provides an opportunity for enhanced communication with healthcare providers, aiding families in making informed choices about difficult medical decisions.
Palliative care focuses on providing seamless care coordination and delivering care to patients and families where they feel most comfortable, whether in a home, hospital or alternative setting.
Palliative care efforts are completely compatible with the pursuit of interventions directed at prolonging life, and treatment is customized to meet the needs of each individual patient.
Or, as we like to describe it here at the Haslinger center: Palliative Care = A Palette of Care. Patients and families are given a canvas, brushes and paints with which to paint a life of quality, free of suffering.
The colors on the painter's palette represent all the different disciplines of caregivers on the palliative care team. Each child and family can pick and choose the colors they need or want to create the most beautiful painting possible of life and hope.
