InfoSphere Data Architect: Best practices for modeling and model management
This article provides best practices for using InfoSphere Data Architect to achieve the following goals:
- Protect model integrity at all stages of development
- Manage logical and physical data models more efficiently
- Reduce memory and processor resource consumption
- Use version control systems (such as ClearCase) effectively
Protecting model integrity
InfoSphere Data Architect XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) file structures
InfoSphere Data Architect models use the XMI standard. Even though the model metadata is stored in XML format, models are not simple XML files. Each model contains complex interlinks between the XML nodes, and these links are not understood by tools that are not compatible with InfoSphere Data Architect model files. Therefore, if you want to perform any task that must be performed on the models (like comparing two models), you must use a version control system that is built into or compatible with InfoSphere Data Architect. The workbench is the only tool that you can use to complete data modeling tasks and create valid InfoSphere Data Architect models.
Note: The article "Comparing and merging UML models in IBM Rational Software Architect: Part 5" (see Related topics) discusses the XMI format used with Rational Software Architect. However, the XMI standard that is used in Rational Software Architect is shared with InfoSphere Data Architect, and the same concepts apply.
Model management
Model management is an important part in the data model design lifecycle. Proper model management improves performance and memory consumption when you use InfoSphere Data Architect. When you maintain models well, the workbench can complete data modeling tasks that require less memory and processing power. You can even sometimes increase productivity when you manage models properly.
Store model files together
- When you work with models in InfoSphere Data Architect, store all of the files that are related to a model in the same data design project, as shown in Figure 1. If the files are stored in multiple projects, the model might become corrupted if there are references to the other models and the referenced models are not stored in the same workspace. If data models in a data design project use glossary models or domain models, store the glossary and domain model files in the same project.
- If you store glossary or domain models in separate projects in order to make them easier to maintain and reuse, store the related data model projects in the same workspace.
- Sometimes, models are stored in different design projects. If a model contains cross-referenced data objects in a model that is stored in another data design project, the other data design project should be loaded in the workspace, and the project should be open. If the project is not open, any changes that are made to cross-referenced data objects will not be propagated to the data models in the closed projects. The data model in the closed project, therefore, will be out of date, and you will have to manually correct the differences.
Figure 1. Store model files in the same project
Managing logical data models
Managing packages
In a logical data model, packages are containers that store related objects. The top-level package in a data model is the root package. Each logical data model has only one root package. You can create multiple subpackages under the root package, as shown in Figure 2. You can create entities in the root package and subpackages.
Figure 2. Logical data model with subpackages and entities
Using packages effectively
If you do not want to create multiple model files, create subpackages in each logical data model. These packages can help you to structure the model into manageable units and keep related data objects together.
If you create multiple subpackages in each logical data model, avoid creating dependencies (like a relationship) between packages when possible. Minimize the number of dependencies that you create. Performance is impacted when you create these dependencies.
Each package should contain entities that do not depend on other parts of the data model. If you must share entities, create the entity at the root level (under the root package). When you create dependent entities at the root level, you can easily maintain this model in the future if the model must be split into multiple smaller models.
Figure 3. Diagram of dependent subpackages
An example of this type of logical data model is shown in Figure 3. This logical data model has a root package (root) and two subpackages (Student and Teacher). The entities and related data objects in the Student and Teacher subpackages should preferably be independent from each other. If a relationship must exist between the Teacher and Student entities, these entities should exist in the root package, rather than in subpackages. The root package contains one shared entity, Classes.
- A data model file becomes difficult to manage when:
- A VCS is used.
- Packages are not independent.
- Multiple data architects work on different packages of a single data model.
Consider separating packages into separate logical data model files, which allows each data architect to work with the data objects in a package without causing conflicts when the data architect commits or shares the changes.
When you open a data model, the workbench loads the entire model into memory, even if you do not work with every package in the model. If a model contains several data objects and diagrams, the workbench consumes even more memory to load these objects, whether they are used or not. Performance can degrade if you open these large models and perform other tasks that require a large amount of memory (such as comparison and synchronization or comparison and merge).
InfoSphere Data Architect can run out of memory if your workstation does not have enough memory to complete a task. For this reason, you should create smaller models. When you create smaller models, more memory is available for memory-intensive tasks.
Managing physical data models
The root of a physical data model is a database. Unlike a logical data model (which can contain subpackages), only one database object can exist. In other words, you cannot create database objects under a root database object.
Managing databases and schemas
Database objects are the root objects of a physical data model. The hierarchy below each database object is different, depending on the data server type that is being modeled, but the database object and schemas are common across all database vendors.
Even though multiple schemas can be created under a database object, it is easier to manage a single schema under a database. It becomes more difficult to manage the model when multiple users work on multiple schemas. The size of the model also increases as you add schemas, which causes both load times and time required to work with version control systems to increase. If you must work with multiple schemas, create separate physical data model files for each schema.
You can create a physical data model in several ways:
- Create a physical data model from scratch.
- Transform a logical data model into a physical data model.
- Reverse-engineer from an existing data source.
Managing changes and memory usage
- Some physical data models are created when they are transformed from a logical data model. You should make any changes in the logical data model, and then transform the logical data model into the existing physical data model. When you use this method, the models are consistent and synchronized.
- As with logical data models, when you open a physical data model, every schema and data object of that model is loaded into memory. To reduce the amount of memory consumed, move any schemas that can function independently into separate physical data models.
- When you reverse-engineer a physical data model from a database, only reverse-engineer the data objects that are necessary for your current task. For example, you might not want to work with table spaces, buffer pools, or stored procedures, but you do want to work with tables and columns. When you want to work with the storage objects, you can reverse-engineer them into a separate model or the existing model.
Cross-referenced models
If a project contains multiple models, and one model refers to another model, both models are cross-referenced models. The referenced object could be part of a diagram or relationship between two objects. Some data modelers prefer to share objects between two models if the models are stored in a centralized repository.
Even though you can cross-reference models, each model should be as independent as possible. Minimize the number of cross-referenced models. If possible, avoid copying data objects from one model into another model.
Cross references occur in two circumstances:
- You copy and paste or drag-and-drop a data object that has a relationship to another data object from one model to another model.
- You drag-and-drop a data object into a diagram that exists in another model.
The following list describes some disadvantages of cross-referenced models:
- All cross-referenced models must be stored in the same workspace, and more specifically, the same data design project. You cannot share between projects and workspaces.
- When you open a cross-referenced model, the workbench opens the other referenced model. Opening cross-referenced models could quickly consume valuable system resources.
- If a referenced object is modified, all data models that contain the referenced data object must also be open so that the change is propagated to all of those data models.
- Cross-referenced models can easily become corrupted if they are not loaded in the workspace when updates are made to referenced objects. It is hard to maintain cross-referenced models when all models are not open, and system memory is consumed quickly when multiple models are open.
How to identify cross-referenced data objects in diagrams
When you add a cross-referenced data object to a diagram, an arrow icon is added in the name compartment of the data object. You can also show the cross-referenced object in each of the open data models by right-clicking in the diagram and selecting Navigate > Show In > Data Project Explorer. Both of these methods are shown in Figure 4:
Figure 4. Cross-reference entity icon
When you drag-and-drop an object from one model to another, the models is considered cross-referenced. The following tips help you to manage your cross-referenced models efficiently:
- When you cross-reference data objects, a message opens to verify that you want to create this cross reference. If you choose to create the cross reference, you can use the Compare editor to duplicate the child objects and properties of the copied data object.
The comparison and synchronization task is discussed further in the subsequent sections of this article.
- Create several small models so that fewer merges are required.
- All data objects in a package or schema should be independent of other packages and schemas. If a model becomes large (contains several packages or schemas), determine which packages or schemas should be added to a new model file.
- All models that cross-reference each other should be stored in the same workspace, in a single data design project. If cross-referenced models are stored in separate workspaces or projects, the workbench will not be able to process the information in the models. Models can become corrupted, invalid, or out of sync.
You can close an unnecessary cross-referenced model while you are working on unrelated data objects, but the referenced model should be available in the workspace.
How to identify cross-referenced data objects with relationships across models
To identify the cross-referenced data objects that are related to other data objects, run the impact analysis tool. You can locate impactor objects (objects that impact the selected data objects) or dependent objects (objects that depend on the selected data objects). In either case, be sure to include contained objects (data objects that xxxxx).
Figure 5. Analyze impact to find cross-referenced objects
The method that is described here helps you to identify objects that are cross-referenced and have relationships between them. You will not be able to locate objects that are added to a diagram via the drag-and-drop method. You can learn how to create diagrams of cross referenced objects in How to identify cross-referenced data objects in diagrams.
To find the cross-referenced objects, you can use the analyze impact functionality of InfoSphere Data Architect. You can perform impact analysis on the root object of the model. For a logical model, analyze the root package. For a physical data model, analyze the database object.
To identify cross-referenced objects:
- Right-click the root package or database, then select Analyze Impact. The Impact Analysis window opens.
- Specify that you want to locate impactor objects and contained objects, then click OK. A diagram opens to show the dependencies, and the Model Report view opens. Keep both of these views open.
Next, you should analyze the impact to locate dependent objects.
- Right-click the root package or database, then select Analyze Impact.
- In the Impact Analysis window, select dependent objects and contained objects, then click OK. A new diagram opens to show the dependencies, and the Model Report view displays a list of the dependencies.
You can use the Model Report view or diagram editor to show the objects in the Data Project Explorer.
Keep models small
When you begin work in a workspace, create a new model file or package, unless you are updating an existing project. When you use small models, you minimize the risk of creating large models with unrelated data objects. If you must reuse objects from other packages or models, use the Compare editor to clone the object. Do not copy and paste the object.
Data modeling in a team environment
Even though InfoSphere Data Architect is a data modeling tool, you can use the workbench throughout the complete data development and design lifecycle to help manage your projects. Version your data model files; multiple users can work on the same model file in parallel, while synchronizing their work by merging changes.
You can integrate versioning tools into InfoSphere Data Architect by installing compatible Eclipse plug-ins. When you use versioning tools in InfoSphere Data Architect, the tools also use memory and processing power. The advantage of integrating these tools is that the plug-ins seamlessly help the user to complete the tasks within the workbench without using other tools or products outside of the workbench. Rational ClearCase is one such tool that can help your team to version your model files. Because ClearCase and other versioning tools also use memory, they can require a large amount of memory to complete the task at hand, sometimes up to three to four times the size of the model.
When you create and work with small models with minimal cross references, the system has more resources available to it to perform other tasks in the data development and design life cycle. If you work with large models that consume large amounts of memory, system resources can be impacted, and the workbench can run out of available memory.
You can increase the amount of memory available to InfoSphere Data Architect. See Increase the JVM max heap size.
Advantages of small models
- Smaller models are easier to manage in conjunction with a change management or version control system, because you and your team members require fewer merges. The models are less complex and cause far fewer conflicts when you merge changes.
- The workbench uses less memory and processing power when you open and work with smaller models that do not use cross-referenced data objects.
Copying, pasting or comparing and synchronizing to duplicate data objects between models
You might want to reuse an existing data object, but modify it slightly to use it for a different purpose. For example, you might want to reuse an attribute in a new entity, but you only want to change the name. There are a few ways that you can achieve this within the workbench:
- Copying and pasting the data object to its desired location
- Comparing and synchronizing the data object
When you clone a data object within a single model, you can use the method that works best for you. Since you are cloning an object within a single data model, no cross references are created.
When you clone a data object from one data model into another data model, avoid cross references whenever possible. As stated in section 3.2.4, you risk creating cross references when you copy objects between data models, and these cross references impact performance. Instead, you should use the Compare editor to clone the data object and its properties into another data model. When you use the Compare editor, the related data objects are also cloned, causing fewer inconsistencies.
Preferred method: Compare and synchronize to clone data objects between two models
Use the Compare editor to clone data objects.
Cloning a single data object
To clone a single data object:
- Create a data object in the target model. The data object should be the same type of data object that you want to clone.
- Use the Compare editor to create the cloned object:
- Select the data object that you want to clone, then select the target data object in the target model.
- Right-click one of the data objects, then select Compare With > Each Other. The Compare editor opens.
- In the Compare editor, select the required properties of the source data object, then copy those properties to the target data object. Whether you copy from right to left or left to right, be sure to copy from the source to the target.
An example of this is shown in Figure 6. The user, Tom, is cloning the Classes entity, which exists in two separate data models. Tom selects the properties that he wants to copy. Because Tom is cloning a single object and not any related objects, he does not copy the relationship objects. If Tom did copy the relationships, the relationship and the related data object would also be cloned and added to the target model.
Figure 6. Using the Compare editor to copy a single data object
Cloning a data object and its relationships
You can also clone the relationships of a target data object by using the Compare editor. The steps are the same as outlined in section 184.108.40.206.1, but you can copy the relationships. When you copy the relationships into the target data object, the related data objects are also added to the target model.
Copy and paste to clone data objects across models
You can also copy a data object from a source data model and paste it into another data model.
The copy-and-paste method is not recommended, because it can create cross-references, and these cross-references impact performance and can cause inconsistencies.
Renaming objects
When you rename a data object, you should consider the impact of your changes. You can invalidate the model if you cross-reference data objects, and those models and projects are not open or available in the workspace. If you rename a cross-referenced object, you may have to manually update the corresponding data objects later.
When you rename a data object, keep the models in the workspace. If the models are spread across different data design projects, make sure that all of the projects are loaded into the workspace.
You should only rename objects in a domain or glossary model when all of the models that use these models are in the same workspace. If the models are not in the same workspace, the data objects will not be renamed across data models, and you must manually update the affected data objects.
Diagram management
Diagrams are personalized views of data objects in a data model, and they help you to visualize the relationship between those data objects. Multiple diagrams can contain the same data object, but it is not required to show these data objects in a diagram. The actual data object is shown in the Data Project Explorer.
You can modify data objects in a diagram or from the Data Project Explorer.
In the workbench, diagrams are a visualization of your actual data objects. Therefore, if the diagrams are deleted, the data objects remain in the data model and are accessible from the Data Project Explorer. To delete a data object from a diagram, you have to right-click the object, then select Delete From Model. That is the only circumstance in which a data object is deleted from a model from the diagram. Any other operation performed on a diagram modifies the actual data object.
Figure 7. Delete data object through diagram
Diagrams consume large amounts of memory. Manage your diagrams by integrating the following tips into your diagramming tasks:
- If you are not using a diagram to modify a data model, you can move the diagram into a separate model that contains only diagrams. You can move the diagram back into the data model when you need it again. If you never plan to use the diagram again, delete it from the data model.
- Diagrams can be convenient to visualize the relationships between objects and easily create new data objects for a data model. You can create a diagram to use temporarily while you perform these data modeling tasks. When you're finished with the tasks, delete the diagram from the model.
- You can use a diagram to modify parts of a data model that you are actively developing. These diagrams should be stored in the same model and same package or schema as the data objects that you are editing. You should store them in the same locations because the diagram creates data objects in that package or schema whenever you use the diagram to add an entity or table.
- Separate diagrams that you are not currently using to modify data models into a different data model. You can move diagrams in and out of models, depending on the models you are modifying.
- Do not create duplicate data objects that are also in another model in a diagram. Any data objects that you create in a diagram are created in the parent data model. Do not create data objects in the diagrams that are in another model. Any data objects created in a diagram get created in the same model in which the diagram exists. To create a new data object, use a temporary diagram method if required.
- Use diagrams to help visualize or explain a design, data structure, or business case. You should not create a diagram that contains all of the objects in a data model. When you create a diagram, only include the data objects that are in context to help explain a part of your model, or communicate a business model.
- You should not create diagrams that contain more than 100 objects. If you have already created a diagram with more than 100 objects, modify it, move it out of the data model, or delete it if it is no longer required. In most cases, diagrams with more than 100 objects are harder to understand, and these diagrams consume large amounts of memory.
Note on deleting diagrams or objects within diagrams
- When you delete a diagram, the data objects that are in the diagram are not deleted from the model.
- If you select an object in the diagram and then press the Delete key, the data object is deleted from the diagram only.
- When you delete an object from a diagram by right-clicking in the diagram editor, you can delete the object from the diagram or model.
InfoSphere Data Architect and version control systems (VCS)
Working with models that are in a VCS
When you work in data design projects, relationships can exist between multiple files in these projects. For example, you might include glossary or domain models that are linked to the data models. To preserve these relationships, be sure to load all files from the project, and do not move them out of the project or workspace.
Which VCS to use
Versioning capabilities are not explicitly built into InfoSphere Data Architect. However, the workbench can still work with different supported version control systems.
You can use any VCS with the workbench, but only certain VCSes are explicitly supported. Try to use a VCS that the workbench supports (called an integrated VCS), so that the workbench can help resolve the differences and conflicts that occur with an integrated VCS. When a conflict occurs with an integrated VCS, you can use the comparison and merge functionality to resolve the conflicts.
If you use a VCS that the workbench does not support, the comparison and merge functionality that is built into the workbench may not be able to resolve conflicts, and your models could become corrupted. These problems occur because unsupported VCSes typically store data model files as simple XML files and not files built on an XMI specification.
Using IDA with Rational ClearCase
Rational ClearCase is a VCS that you can integrate with InfoSphere Data Architect and all ClearCase operations can then be controlled from within InfoSphere Data Architect. To understand more on ClearCase usage, you can read Kim Letkeman's article (see Related topics).
How to increase memory for InfoSphere Data Architect
You can edit the
eclipse.ini file (in the folder where
InfoSphere Data Architect was installed) to increase the amount of memory
that the workbench can use.
Figure 8. Eclipse.ini file location
To increase the amount of memory that the workbench can use:
- Create a backup copy of the
- Open
eclipse.iniin a plain text editor, such as Notepad.
- Add or modify an argument to increase the amount of memory the
workbench can use:
- If it does not already exist under the
–vmargssection, add a new argument,
–Xmx. Then specify the amount of memory that the workbench can use by appending the amount (in megabytes) to the
-Xmxargument. The following example shows how to specify that the workbench should use 1024 megabytes of memory:
- If the
–Xmxargument exists, modify the current value to a higher value. The highest value that you can specify depends on how much memory is installed on the computer and how much memory the operating system can let the workbench use.
The value that you specify for
–Xmxshould be multiples of 128. You can start by specifying 128, then increase the value by 128. So you would start with 128, then specify 256, then specify 384, and higher until you find a value that allows you to work efficiently.
- If it does not already exist under the
- Start the workbench.
If your operating system allows you to use this value, the workbench will
open. If the workbench does not open, you must change the value. If the
product does not start, try to reduce the
-Xmx value to find
the best value the operating system will accept.
Preventing instability: Studying use cases
Use case #1: Large models
One of the main ways that a model can become corrupted is to encounter an out of memory error. When you run out of memory, the result is unpredictable, and the model could become corrupted. The only way to recover from this type of problem would be to regularly back up your work. You can create a personal backup or use a version control system like Rational ClearCase.
To prevent this situation:
- Create and work with smaller models.
- Increase the memory that is available to InfoSphere Data Architect to make it easier work on larger models. However, limitations can arise, depending on the operating system that you use and the amount of memory that is installed in your system. In most cases, though, increasing the memory does help when you aren't as restricted by limitations. Read the Increase the JVM Max Heap Size section, to learn how to increase the amount of memory that is reserved by the system for InfoSphere Data Architect.
Use case #2: Cross-referenced models
Sometimes, referenced model objects are changed, and changes aren't propagated correctly because the other cross-referenced models are not available, or the models are not updated and saved correctly.
More concrete use cases are provided in the following sections. For these use cases, assume that there are two models: M1 and M2. Objects in the M2 model reference objects in the M1 model.
Use case #2a: Diagrams
Sometimes, data objects are cross-referenced in diagrams. For example, a diagram in M2 references objects from M1.
Even though diagrams may not be updated properly, or diagrams get corrupted, you can simply delete the diagram and recreate it if necessary. In most cases, diagrams update automatically when you open them. When diagrams get corrupted, the parent data model should not become corrupted.
Use case #2b: Relationships
Problems can arise when your data objects are related across different data models.
- Primary key or foreign key relationships: A child table or entity in M2 references a parent table or entity in M1. Someone updates one of the data objects. The relationship becomes corrupted or out of sync.
- Generalization relationships: When someone changes the primary key for a table in M1, the corresponding foreign key in M2 is not updated correctly.
Use case #2c: Domain models
You cannot avoid cross references in domain models, as these models are designed to be separate from the logical data models and physical models that use them. All of the models that refer to the domain model should be in the workspace when you update the domain model.
For example, a table in M2 is cross-referenced with a table in M1. A column in that table in M1 contains a domain reference. When the domain is updated, if the M2 model is not also open, the domain reference in M2 is not updated correctly.
Preventing problems with cross references
To prevent these issues:
- Create and work with smaller models.
- Minimize the amount of cross references that you create.
- Make sure that all related objects and models are in the same workspace before you proceed.
Working with large data models
The base recommendation in model management is to keep models small. However, there are cases where this cannot be put into practice. When dealing with large models, the following are some tips that may prevent out of memory errors. These include: turning on the heap monitor, backing up changes frequently, and increasing the JVM maximum heap size.
Turn on the heap monitor
It is recommended that you turn on the heap monitor (from Preferences -> General -> Show Heap Status) and keep an eye on the heap usage. When turned on, the heap monitor appears at the bottom of the IDA workbench window.
Every once in a while, or after doing a memory intensive operation, click the garbage can in the heap monitor several times. This attempts to assist the garbage collection. If the heap monitor gets too close to the maximum heap used, do not do any more memory intensive operations such as save and check-in. The save operation might run out of memory and cause issues with the model you are trying to save. Simply exit and restart IDA. This is true of ALL versions of IDA.
Back up your changes frequently
The local history facility (Preferences -> General -> Workspace -> Local History) provides the ability to keep several backups on the local file system. Using this system as the primary means of model backup or change recovery could clutter up the file system because multiple versions of the models are kept and loaded into IDA. The recommendation is to rely on a supported version control system (CCRC, RTC, or CVS) by checking in changes frequently instead of using local history. Local history can be used in-between check-ins. The time between check-ins should not span more than a day or two. The preference setting for saving local history should be reduced from 31 days to 1-2 days.
Although the version control systems will remind you to save the changed file while you check in, it is better to save the changed file before checking in the file.
Increase the JVM max heap size
You can edit the eclipse.ini file (in the folder where InfoSphere Data Architect was installed) to increase the amount of memory that the workbench can use.

Even though a Best Picture win for Lincoln eluded him at last Sunday's Oscars, Steven Spielberg has accomplished virtually everything possible for an American filmmaker-- his name as this point is practically synonymous with "movies." But can the king of American blockbuster cinema make just as big an impact at the fanciest, most prestigious film festival on the planet?
He's gonna give it a shot, at least. The Cannes Film Festival has officially announced that Spielberg will serve as the Jury President for their 66th Festival, which gets started on May 15 this year. Here's what he had to say about the job in the official announcement, after the festival's head Thierry Fremaux admitted he's spent the last two years trying to get Spielberg to free up his schedule and actually accept the position:
"The memory of my first Cannes Film Festival, nearly 31 years ago with the debut of E.T., is still one of the most vibrant memories of my career. For over six decades, Cannes has served as a platform for extraordinary films to be discovered and introduced to the world for the first time. It is an honor and a privilege to preside over the jury of a festival that proves, again and again, that cinema is the language of the world."
Spielberg also won a prize at Cannes for his very first film, Sugarland Express, in 1974, and was there just a few years ago with the premiere of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (that's not mentioned in the official release, and you can't really blame them for not bringing it up). Though Cannes hosts a handful of big potential blockbuster premieres each year, the films in competition are typically much smaller-- but given how much Spielberg knows about movies at this point, he ought to have no trouble making that kind of transition. Plus, after the grinding process of bringing Lincoln through awards season, he now gets to spend time at a film festival in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Not a bad consolation prize for that Best Picture loss.

Rogue FCU Rewards Perfect Attendance
MEDFORD, Ore. -- Rogue Federal Credit Union awarded "Perfect Attendance" certificates to more than 250 Phoenix elementary students during a morning assembly.
Hoping to promote the importance of school attendance, RFCU makes a presentation of these certificates monthly. RFCU also conducts an annual presentation at the last assembly, where children with perfect year long attendance receive certificates and movie bucks for their efforts.
This year, two paid memberships to a boys and girls summer program will be awarded in a drawing for boys and girls with perfect attendance.
Because of RFCU's roots in Jackson County schools, the credit union embarked on a school/business partnership with Phoenix Elementary School in November of 1992. Since then, RFCU has offered staff assistance with field trips, teaching aids, computers and various other forms of support. RFCU has similar partnerships with Parkside Elementary School in Grants Pass and Stearns Elementary School in Klamath Falls.

From the source:  Firefox seems to be choking on that hyperlink; specifically it is looking for a file that includes #id868187 on the end.

Pro-Pipeline Holds Town hall
By Annie Andrews firstname.lastname@example.com
Facebook / Twitter @NTVAnnieAndrews
They're the meetings before the meetings taking place along the pipeline route. On Tuesday, pro-pipeline advocates spread their message in Central City; the center of much debate.
The free luncheon was the third of four hosted by Nebraskans for Jobs and Energy Independence. They call the meetings a way to clear up confusion and propaganda over the pipeline debate -- convincing some but confusing others.
Around 40 people came for the meeting in Central City, but notably absent were any members of Bold Nebraska, who have gone to earlier meetings. A short presentation outlined the non-profit's stance on the pipeline -- promoting job creation and energy independence.
A union representative, former pipeline regulator and a representative of Americans for Prosperity
all said Nebraska and America needs the pipeline. That message was the focal point of the meeting, right next to job creation and the argument that the pipeline is safe for Nebraskans.
A former federal pipeline regulator, turned consultant, was at the meeting on behalf of NFJEI answering those very questions.
The meeting lasted right around two hours, one gentleman NTV spoke to said the meeting didn't
convince him the pipeline is the right thing for Nebraska. He said what TransCanada has planned
will change his land forever and that's worth far more than what they're willing to pay. Others, however, said they heard enough to support the pipeline and the new route.
This conversation will obviously continue with the DEQ's town hall meetings starting in O'Neil on Wednesday.

In Congress: Pecking Away at a Public Lands Agenda
Your Wilderness - August 2012
- Featured Wilderness: Washington's Wild Olympics
- In Congress: Congress Pecks Away at Public Lands Agenda
- Spotlight On: Common Ground Ad Campaign
- Special Feature: Desert Conference XXVI
Although the bird most often associated with July is the bald eagle, action last month by the House Committee on Natural Resources focused on safeguarding the habitat of the critically endangered California condor. The committee considered two lands bills to help the preservation of this raptor's historical and rehabilitative range.
At the end of June, the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands held a hearing on a bill introduced by Rep. Elton Gallegly (R-CA) to protect approximately 63,000 acres of California's Los Padres National Forest as wilderness (H.R. 4109). The area offers natural beauty and unique opportunities for hiking, fishing, and camping, and equally important is its proximity to the critical California condor breeding grounds at Sisquoc Condor Sanctuary. The bill also includes additions to the Wild and Scenic Rivers System, with protections for Upper Piru Creek, Upper Sespe Creek, Mono Creek, and Indian Creek. The measure was supported by a number of conservation, outdoor recreation, and local business groups.
In July, the committee favorably reported Rep. Sam Farr's (D-CA) Pinnacles National Park proposal (H.R. 3641) to the House floor. The California Democrat's legislation would move Pinnacles National Monument into the National Park System, protecting both natural and cultural assets as well as much of the ancestral home range of the California condor. Specifically, it would preserve Native American and early settler heritage sites, protect 32 species of flora and fauna, and safeguard the area's unique rock formations. Ken Burns, producer of PBS's "The National Parks: America's Best Idea," submitted a letter in support of H.R. 3641.
Unfortunately, amendments in committee ended Rep. Farr's proposal to add 2,905 acres of wilderness and denied authority for acquisition of private land to H.R. 3641, a restriction that the committee has previously imposed on legislation designating or expanding National Park System units. These actions run counter to the desires of locally based and broadly supported conservation efforts, and the Pew Environment Group will endeavor to improve the modified bills.
On July 9, Rep. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) introduced the Hunt Unrestricted on National Treasures Act (H.R. 6086). Unlike other bills (such as H.R. 4089) that would threaten wilderness protections under the guise of expanding opportunities for outdoorsmen, this legislation simply does what it says: protects the outdoors while providing new opportunities for the public to access public lands that are now "landlocked" by adjoining private lands. Through an inventory of access routes to public lands and authority to purchase easements where access is needed, the act seeks to ensure that all may enjoy hunting and fishing in these places.
On July 11, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) introduced legislation that would designate the Berryessa Snow Mountain region as a National Conservation Area (S. 3375), protecting 319,000 acres of public lands in Lake, Mendocino, Napa, and Yolo counties and promoting recreational opportunities across the region. The legislation would consolidate all currently owned federal lands within the NCA under one management plan that would safeguard wildlife (including bald eagles), improve water quality, and boost opportunities for camping, rafting, and horseback riding. The proposal is a companion piece to a bill introduced by Reps. Mike Thompson (D-CA), Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), and John Garamendi (D-CA) in May (H.R. 5545) and has the support of local elected officials, business owners, farmers, and conservation and recreation groups.
Finally, on July 18, Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) introduced the Hermosa Creek Watershed Protection Act (S. 3400), which has the support of local elected officials, as well as recreation and conservation groups, and would safeguard more than 107,000 acres as a watershed protection area, including 37,236 acres of wilderness, in the San Juan National Forest in southwestern Colorado. The legislation preserves a wild place known for its biologically diverse forests and vast herds of deer and elk.
Aside from the Pinnacles National Park proposal above, 11 wilderness bills have received hearings in the House Natural Resources Committee, though none have been reported by the committee to the House floor. By comparison, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee has voted to report out five public lands bills, while several others await markup. The Pew Environment Group will continue to work for passage of these bills as the summer progresses and remains optimistic that we'll see more action before this Congress adjourns.

Leasing with a roommate
Sharing a rental house or an apartment is something most of us have done at one time or another. It's a great way to cut costs and seems logical, until your roommate turns out to be a bum. The problem? You both signed the lease!
Here to tell us how to proceed is real estate expert John Adams:
Question: Is there something about having a roommate that is inherently wrong - it seems like a lot of people do it successfully?
John Adams: You're right. The vast majority of shared rental arrangements probably work out just fine, and that's why you never hear much about them. It's the ones that don't work out that cause the problems.
Q: OK, so give us an example of what can happen.
John Adams: As often as not, it's all about money.
You and a good friend agree to share an apartment and split all the costs 50/50. Things go great for the first few months, with each of you sending in a check for half the rent every month.
Then your roomie loses her job. She now has no income, and is actually trying to borrow money from you.
You send in your half of the rent check, and the landlord returns it. He says they can not accept partial payment, only payment in full, which is now subject to a late fee.
Now your roommate is living for free and you are having to pay the full rental every month.
Q: Bad situation. So what can I do if I just want out of the arrangement?
John Adams: Unfortunately, you and your roommate signed signed the lease "each and severally."
That means each of you guarantees to be responsible for meeting all of the obligations of the lease, regardless of what the other roommate does or does not do. Every lease I have ever seen has a clause in it making all signers responsible for complete performance of the terms, including payment of rent.
Q: Let's say I want to get tough and kick my roommate out because she's not paying her share of the rent. Can I do that?
John Adams: No. Under the lease agreement, she has just as much right to be there as you have.
Q: Is there anything I could do to get her out of the apartment?
John Adams: You would have to sue her in small claims court and ask a judge to order her out, then it would be up to the judge to make a decision as to what to do.
Q: Ok, but what would happen if I just moved out and quit paying the rent?
John Adams: In most cases, the landlord would file a dispossessory action against both of you, seeking possession of the property, back rent, late fees, and court costs.
It's even possible that the court might award the landlord a judgment for all rent due through the remainder of the lease, which could add up to thousands of dollars.
In addition, any judgment against you and your roommate will negatively impact your credit report for seven years, making it much harder for you to rent the next house or apartment.
Q: And if I stay and she moves out, can I try to find another roommate?
John Adams: Yes, that can work, but you will need permission from the landlord, and the former roommate will remain legally liable for the entire rent for each month remaining on the lease.
Q: Why can't we just SWAP the new roommate for the old one.
John Adams: Because the landlord wants as much insurance as he can get.
Landlords are usually happy to ADD people to a lease, but there is no motivation to REMOVE anyone who has already signed, even if they are not living there anymore.
Q: Is there ANY way to get someone OFF of a lease after it is signed?
John Adams: YES, but the landlord has to be convinced to allow it.
One way might be for you and the NEW roommate to offer to sign an entirely new lease in exchange for terminating the old lease. The advantage to the landlord is that you are now agreeing to stay for another year.
Another way to accomplish the same thing might be for you to find a new renter and ask the landlord to terminate YOUR lease in exchange for the NEW resident.
Either way, YOU are still on the hook until the landlord let's you go!
Q: How can our viewers avoid the problem of getting trapped in a lease with another person?
John Adams: Simple. DON'T AGREE TO GUARANTEE THE ACTIONS OF ANOTHER PERSON.
Most folks never read the lease they are signing, and in my opinion, that's a big mistake. I know it sounds funny, but I recommend that, if you don't understand any agreement you are being asked to sign, pay for an attorney to explain it to you. That's the only way I know to stay safe.
The BOTTOM LINE: READ & UNDERSTAND YOUR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LEASE.

A McKinney middle school teacher is being held in the Collin County jail on suspicion of having an improper relationship between a teacher and a student.
Sharon Lynn Hoskison, 39, was booked into jail Monday afternoon and is being held on a $200,000 bond. The student is 17 years old.
McKinney ISD officials sent a letter to parents at Evans Middle School, where Hoskison teaches eighth grade social studies and history. The letter states that Hoskison was placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation by McKinney ISD and McKinney police.
"Please know that we take these matters very seriously, and student safety is our top priority," stated the letter from Evans Principal Todd Young.
Further details about the charge against her weren't immediately available. McKinney police declined to comment.

In the four years you've served as a manager, your boss has repeatedly told you half-jokingly, "You're too valuable where you are for me to promote you."
That's not funny.
You work hard and earn kudos from your 12 employees. They love you. Whenever your company engages in 360-degree feedback, you get glowing reviews all around.
Yet your boss, Ari, won't promote you because there's no one to replace you. "When you develop a pipeline of qualified people to step into your shoes, then we can talk about your next step up," Ari says.
You've done everything in your power to fill that pipeline. You've recruited talented people and given them increasing responsibilities. You've tried to hire go-getters who seek a career rather than a job.
Just when you start grooming someone with promise, they leave. You've noticed that most of your hires are under 30—and many of them initially say they want to build a career with your organization. ...(register to read more)

A guitar worth more than $5,000 belonging to a member of George Clinton's P-Funk All Stars was recovered, and an arrest warrant has been issued for Memphis man Neika Lightfoot in connection with the theft.
The guitar went missing while the All Stars were performing last August at Shelby Farms. Someone posing as a security guard entered the band's tour bus and stole the guitar. It was recently recovered in Atlanta, where it had been sold to a Guitar Center store. The guitar was located there thanks to a Google search by a friend of the victim.
Authorities have determined Lightfoot, 35, was connected to the theft. The Shelby County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in locating Lightfoot. The guitar has been returned to its owner, Shaunna Hall.
(Note: Hall is also a founding member of '90s alt-rocker band 4 Non Blondes).

I bought a 75ml bottle for my mother, from Boots, for her birthday and she absolutely loved it.
First of all: the packaging is really pretty and fresh: an embodiment of the perfume itself. It looks really delicate and is likely to attract buyers who like to collect designer bottles.
On to the actual perfume. I found that this perfume was the most delicate and 'lightest' of the Mark Jacobs Daisy range. It has a lovely floral and fruity scent that is reminiscent of a crisp, early Spring season. This is probably due in part to the notes it has: I could definitely pick up some raspberry, rose, apple and grapefruit. It's meant to have cedar as a base note but both me and my mother could not pick up on any woodiness - and thus it remains a very fresh and feminine fragrance.
My mother wore this to her birthday party and she received plenty of compliments. It has a wonderful tendency to linger and burst when you move. Her friends commented on how it was quite 'zingy' - like the top grapefruit notes. It is also quite long lasting - lasting around 16 hours for my mother personally.
For those who are not used to buying expensive perfume, I would say that this is one to possibly invest in as it is so long lasting in small amounts. My mother has never had a Marc Jacobs perfume before and now she's looking to purchase her fourth perfume from the range!
Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh is an Eau de Toilette which is available in a 20ml purse spray for £24.50, a 75ml bottle priced at £55.50, or a 125ml bottle priced at £71.50.
My thoughts
I do like the bottle of this perfume, though I don't think it's the best looking in the Daisy range. The flowers on the top are cute and pretty but I think there are better colourways on some of the other Daisy scents. This one looks a little bit boring in comparison to some of the others in my opinion.
The fragrance is described as the spirited new version of the original daisy, which transports you to a place that is happy and sunny exuding a youthful spirit with a positively fresh and charmingly simple feeling. I think that's a pretty accurate description to be honest, it sums it up well as it is a fresh, zingy, positive kind of scent.
The top notes are raspberry, grapefruit and pear, the mid notes are violet, wild rose and apple blossom, and the base notes are musks, cedar wood and plum. The overall scent is a really light, fresh, exciting fruity scent which really does seem to lift the spirits.
This is a perfect day time, summery scent and I really enjoy wearing it, it makes me feel happy every time I smell it and gives me a real boost. I do think it's aimed more at younger women and would suit them best, though that's not to say that older women couldn't get away with it as well.
The light, fresh feel of this fragrance is just lovely but even though it's light it's still very noticeable and could hold it's own on a night out. I use just a couple of sprays of it and this is enough to give a wonderful scent which I get a lot of compliments on. It also lasts well for an eau de toilette, not needing topping up until after about 6 hours.
Yes, I would recommend this fragrance to anyone looking for a light, fresh, summery scent which will lift the spirits and receive a lot of compliments.
If you try one Marc Jacobs gorgeous 'daisy' effect range, the bottles with lovely tops of flowers, then you may as well try them all.
The bottle top shouldn't force you to buy the bottle but it does look pretty special and especially alongside the rest of the range! Dam marketing! :)
This, I personally felt, was the lightest out of the range.
These all seem like bright sparkling notes and they are but t is more or a fruity scent than it appears and summery.
For me, all the MIDDLE notes stood out and really well. This smells like the signature fragrance the brand of Marc Jacobs is known for and it helps me as a customer to have confidence when purchasing his range. Also, a lot of my friends notice this scent and immediately suss out who it is by.
I would say this is one of those perfumes that is just too light for winter or autumn and would much prefer a more intense scent but during those hazy summers [ actually can't really remember that many on this isles!] but when we do it is a true reflection of that atmosphere and holds a lot of great memories.
Again the best prices come to those who seek them out, so shopping around online will throw up some great competitive prices and even samples before you buy.
I had wanted to buy perfume for a very long time after trying it at my cousins house for the first time. I was staying at hers for a few nights and noticed this perfume just sitting there on her dressing table. I asked if I could try it and I am so glad that I did. I wore it the whole time that I was there, I was so obsessed with it.
The reason why I loved it so much was because it is such a timeless fragrance. It is just so fresh and as the name suggests it is a floral fragrance. If I had to, I would catergorise this perfume as a daytime one to be used in summer. But saying that I think that this perfume is perfect for any occasion. It is light and very classy.
I also love the lid of the perfume. As you can say from the image above, it has flowers, or more likely daisies, on it. This is a lovely addition to your perfume collection as it just adds to it and makes it look very pretty.
Now this perfume does carry quite a hefty price tag. It costs around £50.00, I would not usually spend this much on perfume but because I loved it so much the first time that I tried it, I had to buy it! To be honest you are getting a lot for your money, so I would definitely recommend it as it is so durable.
I love it!
"Vibrant, charming, whimsical Daisy Eau So Fresh is the spirited new version of the original Daisy. It transports you to a place that is happy and sunny"
This evening let''s check out a birthday present that has been regulated to my wardrobe shelf: Daisy so Fresh is meant to be a completely different fragrance from the original Daisy, but in all honesty I''ve found it to be very similar...
A major way in which the two fragrances are similar is the way that this surprised me with its lightness. I was expecting something a bit bolder and slightly tart based on the list of scent notes; but It is just a simple, mild mix of berries, violets, powdery rose and vanilla on me; It seems very watered down thanks to the long lasting pear note. What I guess to be the ''green notes'' is a faint undertone of something that reminds me of trekking through the woods after the rain - this is the only real difference I''ve noticed between and Daisy.
I guess as this fragrance has ''fresh'' in the title I can''t really complain that it is light and watery, but I can''t detect any real changes between the top, heart and base notes - everything seems jumbled together.
Scent notes: grapefruit, green notes, raspberry, pear, jasmine, rose, violet, litchi, apple blossom, musk, virginia cedar and plum.
Aside from this edition''s close similarities with the original Daisy, my main complaint with Daisy so Fresh is the poor longevity; within three hours I had to press my wrist against my nose and could only get a faint sense of vanilla and musk.
The light, airy fragrance is ideal for the warmer weather, although I do wear mine all year round - when I remember that I have it.
Daisy so Fresh can be worn to work, weekends and would be a good choice for crowded parties, when a stronger fragrance could cause headaches and/or dizziness.
I never reviewed this before as I can''t separate any of the floral notes out - aside from the listed violet and rose, so it''s a pretty boring review.
For the short time it lasts Daisy so Fresh is clean, airy and very feminine, but one problem I had was boredom. Light fruit and vanilla is nothing new, and the notes were so mild they didn''t capture any attention. It was a gift, so I wore it and didn''t dislike it, but I''d never pay money for this - it wears like a body spray.

50ml: 44.00
100ml: 54.00
I am a big fan of light and fresh perfumes so I thought that one that actually had fresh in the name would be perfect for me and it turns out that I was right because I really like this latest perfume from Marc Jacobs. This perfume from Marc Jacobs is a really nice one, especially for summer, because it is light and fruity without being too overpowering. I am a big fan of fresh and light fragrances, which is exactly what this is. If you like things like Cool Water by Davidoff and L'Eau D'Issey by Issey Miyake, I imagine that you will also like this one. It has top notes of citrus fruits although it has flowery bottom notes, which stop you from smelling like a fruit cocktail when you have it on. I have found that it lasts well in that I can still smell it on myself at the end of the day if I have sprayed it in the morning. Having said that, it is not one of those fragrances that just hangs around because it is far too strong. It is a perfect fragrance for summer, especially during the day, although it is strong enough that it is suitable for evening wear too. The bottle, as with all Marc Jacobs fragrances, has a collectible lid. This ions has pink and white daisies on and is really pretty. the only bad thing I have to say about this fragrance is that it is not cheap. Costing upwards of fifty pounds for the seventy five ml bottle that I have, it would probably be worth seeking it out in the duty free shop at the airport if you are going on holiday soon! I do think it is pretty good value for money though, nonetheless, because it has got staying power, you don't need much of it, it comes in a funky bottle and the smell is really nice. Recommended.
I have quite a few perfumes in my cupboard: the nineties classics like J'adore (Dior) and Amarige (Givenchy) which are always the ones I fall back on for a night out. There are of course others like Florabotanica Balenciaga which are very aromatic and depend on the mood, but 'Daisy Eau so Fresh' by Marc Jacobs is the only perfume I have found within the last few years that I can wear every single day without getting sick of it!
Of course this depends on personal taste and before buying I would recommend spraying a sample of it from somewhere, but this is DEFINITELY one to consider if you're looking for a new perfume, because it smells beautiful. I find one or two squirts is normally sufficient for the day and so is quite cost-effective. Of all Marc Jacobs perfume, this flowery scent (I'm told wild raspberry, rose and plum, but let's be honest who really knows?) is subtle but so gorgeous.
It's popular for a reason but honestly perfume smells so different on every woman that you must not rule this out. It would also make a perfect gift for someone.
Whilst it's difficult to decide whether to buy a perfume online if you haven't smelled it, of all the perfumes out there, Daisy eau so fresh should be in your top choices.

Atmosphere w/ Brother Ali
The Pageant – St. Louis, MO 05/21/09
Words/Photos/Videos by BeeZnutZ
I have been down with Rhymesayers Entertainment for about 5 years. My friend took me to the store to buy "God Loves Ugly" in 2003. I also believe he got Sage Francis "Sick of Waiting Tables" the same day. We rolled around St. Louis checking out graffiti throughout the city relaxing bumping this hip hop in his car.
Hip Hop is a whole lifestyle and Atmosphere to me represents. I liked his music but couldn't have envisioned of what his live show would bring. Disappointments and let downs are far too common in some of todays live hip hop acts. Atmosphere falls far from that category and into one of his one.
Every tour is different for Atmosphere, a different theme, a different feel, a different band. One thing stays the same he always comes to rock it. Slug has not forgotten the years it has taken him to play those dirty clubs or his fans. Atmosphere as a group has earned every bit of there success.
When I saw them announce a show at one of my favorite venues in st louis "The Pageant". I was quick to request off work as for I knew Atmosphere would be a dope show regardless.
The day of the show, I sat around getting things ready for my trips coming up and working around the house. I called up my buddy Curtis to see what he was doing that night. He replied with " what do you think I'm doing" by which he meant he was obviously going to see Atmosphere.
See back in the day in 2005 Curtis bought this poster he loved of mine off me for 80 bucks. With that 80 dollars we went and saw Atmosphere 4 hours away in Louisville. Great Show, Great Adventure and DAMN I miss the days when 80 bucks would take you on a road trip damnit. That was my first Atmosphere show and I still have the show poster on my wall to remind me of that trip.
Anyway I decided to Ride with Big Curt and get my Drank on. So thats what I did. I had 3 strong drinks before I went in and then walked straight up to the bar and ordered one more. Thats my level right there. As soon as I turn around with my drink someone familiar walks by.
It's Slug from Atmosphere. I stumbled over to where he was kicking it with a few other keen fans signing ticket stubs and what not. I chatted with him for a minute about the tour, the album and everything else. We took a quick picture together and I kept it moving.
This Tour was called the "When God Gives You Ugly" Tour. After viewing the picture of me and Slug I noticed that I was rocking my "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" Shirt. Which was a good fit for the night thinking back on it. Got a few random compliments while i was posted at the bar. Then Brother Ali hit the stage.
I ran down to the first tier and started doing a few video clips because I like Brother Ali's music a lot. After the first song I get BUSTED. Nothing happens the security guy was cool and told me "They don't mind photo's but no VIDEO". That sucked oh well. Brother Ali Killed it for 30-40 minutes and got the crowd more than ready for ATMOSPHERE. Who hadn't played a St Louis show in about 2 Years.
The crowd was hype, tons of random people from my past popped up for this show. People I hadn't seen in 5-9 YEARS were stopping me in the crowd. Really crazy messed up awkward moments at this show.
Atmosphere hit the stage and came out ripping it. His second or third song was my favorite Atmosphere song "God Loves Ugly" off the album god loves ugly which they just remastered and rereleased. Atmosphere is comprised of Slug and Ant who does the production. This show they had a Keyboardist, A guitar player and a back up singer. It all blends together nicely into a unique hip hop show.
No two atmosphere shows are the same and this one was hype. It took about 3 songs for Slug to lose the hoodie he was wearing. He played all the popular tracks plus a bunch of older songs as well that got the crowd going. What I like most about his performances is the improvisations in each of his songs. He doesn't make it the same as on the record some people don't like that but when used in the right situations as he does. It makes the moment, the music, the show mean that much more. One of a kind.
Another notable song was "Always coming back home to you" That is my favorite song off the album "Seven's Travel's". The crowd got the craziest during "Trying to find a Balance" which was fun. I loved the intro story Slug has for "Modern Man's Hustle" I would totally jack the story if I tried to retell it. So I wont. Go see the show.
After about 45-55 minutes they stopped the music and announced that was the end of the show and if it was cool that they would do an encore but they didn't want to have to leave the stage. As bands normally do, Slugs words were" C'mon you really think I am not going to play an ENCORE???? I have Played St Louis in 2 plus years and I'm not gonna do a ENCORE????"
So he Ripped a Few other songs, last one being joined by Brother Ali. Then It is my favorite part of the show. At the end of All RHYMESAYERS shows they always ask" Is it cool if we Freestyle?". The crowd always loves it. They Freestyled for 6 plus minutes taking turns over the beat the band made for them.
Awesome show, Awesome Energy, Awesome Night. If you aren't a RHYMESAYERS fan you best check yourself before you wreck YO' SELF and listen to some good hip hop. Oh yeah GO SEE A SHOW.

FBI gathers evidence in arson probe over Calif. wildfires
By Matt Apuzzo
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Special FBI teams gathered evidence Wednesday as part of a possible arson investigation into the wildfires devastating Southern California, the agency said.
FBI evidence response teams recovered materials they hoped would identify the source of the fires that have burned for four days. The FBI said a house was not searched, correcting earlier reports from a law enforcement official.
Richard Kolko, an FBI spokesman in Washington, said the evidence response teams "have been working with other federal, state and local authorities" to identify the source of the fires.
The fires have destroyed 1,500 homes and caused at least a half-million people to flee, in what has become the largest evacuation in state history. San Diego County accounted for at least 1,200 damaged homes, and officials believe that number will rise.
Twenty-one firefighters and at least 24 other people have been injured. One person was killed by the flames, and the San Diego medical examiner's officer listed five other deaths as connected to the blazes.
Thousands of people remained in emergency shelters, where many had an agonizing wait to find out whether their homes had survived.
President Bush signed a major disaster declaration for California in the wake of the wildfires that have charred about 426,000 acres, or about 665 square miles.

San Diego police continued Friday to investigate the apparent theft of two memorial benches from an Ocean Beach clifftop overlooking the ocean.
Investigators have interviewed the crane operator who removed the benches on July 8, and have identified the local resident who reportedly hired him, police Lt. Andra Brown said.
Brown said investigators are now trying to figure out what crime was committed and who the victim is before sending a case to the District Attorney's Office.
Two families bought heavy concrete benches with inscriptions to honor their loved ones and had them installed on concrete pads on a small spit of land at the west end of Del Mar Avenue at Ocean Front Street.
One bench was placed there 10 years ago for George Story, a 30-year city employee after he worked as a reporter for the San Diego Union. The other commemorates Anthony Cappellucci, who used to surf below the lookout point before he died of cancer two years ago.
Both families said the city approved placement of the benches on public property. But Brown said it isn't clear if the benches were formally donated to the city and accepted as city property, making the city the current owner and therefore the victim of a theft.
George Gonzalez, owner of Gonzalez Crane Services in San Diego, said the resident who paid him $300 to hoist out the benches claimed to have permission from the city. Brown said the benches are being left at the crane yard for now, until the city and the Cappellucci and Story families figure out how to put them back where they were.

Many thanks for the reply Ike,
I'd not realised the Catholics had been so ill treated - although I have
one case of an Irish ancestor changing his surname (McAnally to his
wife's Athey [which, although still an Irish name sounds less so than
McAnally]) due to the influx of Irish 'Strike - breakers' into the
Durham coalfields during the 1800's

This costume was extreme easy-mode. The shirt was leftover from my old Terra cosplay, I already had the shoes and gloves, I already had the fabric for the pants and the belt was thrown together in only a few hours. The pants were probably the hardest part since I only just recently figured out shorts. I might re-make them for the future.

HOLLADAY — A man who police say kidnapped, robbed and sexually assaulted a woman at a gas station remained on the run one week after the incident.
Law enforcers from several Salt Lake County jurisdictions are anxious to find and arrest the man who they say has shown a increasing pattern of targeting and assaulting women.
"He's a serial robber, serial kidnapper and serial rapist at this point," said supervisory deputy U.S. marshal Jim Phelps, head of the Joint Criminal Apprehension Team.
On Aug. 17, a woman filling up her car at the Smith's Food and Drug gas station, 845 E. 4500 South, about 11:20 p.m., was carjacked at gunpoint. The woman was taken to an ATM, forced to withdraw money and then taken to another area where she was sexually assaulted before being released.
Authorities believe the man responsible can be linked to possibly as many as 16 to 19 incidents throughout the county.
Phelps said the alleged assailant started off robbing people at ATM's and committing home invasion robberies.
"Then over a period of time, he added some sexual overtones. He was making women undress after robbing them," he said.
The crimes have now escalated into rape, Phelps said. While both men and women were initially targeted, the past few crimes believed to have been committed by the man involved all female victims, he said.
"He's increasing the violence with each incident," Phelps said. "We don't know at what point the woman might not come back at all."
Phelps said he and his agents got chills as they watched the surveillance video of the woman at Smith's being taken at gunpoint. When they initially watched the video, the woman was still missing and investigators didn't know if she was still alive.
Monday, detectives from several police agencies met to trade notes about the wanted man. Phelps said JCAT was assisting all these agencies and his group has been out several nights each week tracking leads.
All investigators need, he said, is a name or moniker and they would find the man.Comment on this story
Phelps fears there may be other women who have been victimized by the man but have been afraid to come forward.
"In each case, he makes a lot of threats to these victims so they don't contact law enforcement," he said.
Unified police say they have not had another incident they can link to the man since the Aug. 17 carjacking. The latest description they have on the man is a male about 5-foot-9 and 175 pounds with a thin build.
Anyone with information on the man can call JCAT at 801-524-5693 or their local police department.

The latest debt trends & analysis from our industry experts
If you're part way through Debt Remedy...
If you're an existing DMP client...
Many people worry that getting debt advice or choosing a certain debt solution will affect their job. They fear that having a poor credit rating might mean that their contract will be terminated, or they may feel embarrassed at the idea of their employer finding out about their debt.
As our service is confidential, anyone can get in touch with us for debt advice and find out more about their options. What's more, we will never tell your employer that you've been in touch with us.
Free online debt advice in 20 mins
Most lines of work are not affected by debt or debt solutions, as having debt shouldn't impact how you carry out your responsibilities. If you have any doubts at all, it's always worth talking to your HR department, or getting independent advice from your trade union representative if you have one.
By taking a look at your employment contract, your union rep or Human Resources (HR) department can let you know if giving reduced payments to debts or entering a debt solution could affect your job. Your HR department should treat your enquiry confidentially, so you should be able to find out where you stand without it impacting your job.
Very few jobs require a perfect credit rating. Unless you work in the financial sector – for example banking or accountancy – it's unlikely that your employer would perform a credit check on you.
When it comes to the solutions we offer, one that could potentially have an impact on a person's job is bankruptcy. Less formal solutions such as a debt management plan shouldn't have any effect on your employment. It's still best to check however as debt management plans are based on paying lower than the minimum amount, and will affect your credit rating.
If you work in any of the following roles, you may need to look closer at how a debt solution such as bankruptcy will affect you, as you'll usually be unable to work in these positions until you're discharged:
Whatever your employment circumstances may be, getting in touch with us to talk over your options is still a step in the right direction. Our advisors can help you put together your budget over the telephone and prepare you for looking into available debt solutions. Alternatively, you can use our online anonymous advice tool Debt Remedy.

Dirty Love Burgers are no more.
After 18 months in business, the Love Shack in downtown Denton permanently closed its doors Monday morning.
A sign outside the restaurant at 115 E. Hickory St. states that owner Tim Love would be "redesigning and renovating the space, which will open with a new concept in early 2013."
A sign also states the last night of service for the restaurant will be Thursday. However, windows were covered up and the doors were locked, though cars were in the parking lot behind the building.
The same message appeared via the restaurant's Facebook and Twitter fan pages.
"Thank you for your dedicated support and patronage and we look forward to seeing you at Tim's new concept," the post said.
In trying to reach the owner, officials with the restaurant would not comment regarding the closing, only saying that the Facebook comment was the official statement.
Love opened his third Love Shack in April 2011. Since its opening, the 3,600-square-foot restaurant — which included indoor and outdoor sitting for 120 guests — became quite busy, participating in many Denton community events and hosting popular music talents.
City officials approved a $10,000 downtown grant for Love to use for exterior improvements to the building in 2010.
The building once housed a barbershop, among other businesses.
Julie Glover, Denton's economic development program administrator, said the owner of the building already knew Love was planning on closing.
"The building owner talked to him and he told him he would be rebranding and reopening," she said. "The restaurant is temporarily closing. …"
Glover said the building owner answered at least 25 phone calls Monday afternoon from people wanting to know what happened.
At about 2:40 p.m., Lucinda East, senior account executive with Baltz & Company in New York — the firm representing Love — confirmed again the official Facebook posting and added that more details would be announced as they are provided.
Throughout the day Monday, surprise was the initial reaction as news of the Love Shack's sudden closing spread through social media sites.
People who made comments mostly said they were sad the restaurant closed, while others were already looking forward to the new concept.
Love, a Denton High School graduate, has told the Denton Record-Chronicle that he opened the Love Shack in Denton because his mother wanted him to build a place locally.
He also said he wanted to give something back to the community.
In May, Love closed his Love Shack location on West Seventh Street in Fort Worth.
Love still has another Love Shack location at the Fort Worth Stockyards and opened a Texas Christian University-based food truck named the Big Purple Truck on Thursday, according to his Twitter page.
If customers have outstanding coupons from the Love Shack, those would be honored at the other Love Shack locations, company representatives said.
