Phil is the founder and head of the Better Food Company, which delivers organic produce in boxes to households within a 30-mile radius of Bristol. The company employs more than 20 people, has a turnover of less than pounds 1m and until not so long ago operated from a kitchen in the family home. It is, in short, a small business but it is also typical of a retailing revolution which is distinctive to organic food but now promises to spread far beyond it.
Last year the Better Food Company won the national vegetable box scheme category in the Soil Association's Organic Food Awards. As well as supplying local households it operates an overnight national delivery service and a Christmas hamper selection. Its boxes of produce are sourced from local growers and supplemented by deliveries from a big co-operative in Gloucestershire.
Up in Bridgefoot, near Aberdeen, a slightly different pattern prevails. Twelve years ago Colin Ward, another award winner, fulfilled his dream of running a small farm when he was able buy the 17 acres of land next to his house. From the food grown there he now supplies 100 households locally with a box of fresh seasonal vegetables every Friday between July and February. All the boxes are different, since customers can specify what they want and how much they feel like spending, but they're straight from the soil - the lettuces and salad leaves are cut immediately before packing.
The organic boom, in the views of experts, can't and won't progress without the giants of retailing, the supermarkets. According to one recent market analysis, the presence of a major supermarket "is vital to make the foods widely available to the public"; the marketing support supermarkets can supply is "crucial" in raising public awareness of organic foods. But it wouldn't have got off the ground without small, evangelical entrepreneurs like Phil Haughton and Colin Ward.
There are an estimated 200 vegetable box schemes in the UK, delivering to between 30,000 and 40,000 customers and involving about 30 per cent of the country's organic growers. Virtually all have sprung up since the late Eighties and together with farm-gate sales and farmers' markets they now account for roughly a fifth of the sales of organic foods, far more than is the case with conventional foods and highly unusual in retailing. Supermarkets account for over two-thirds of sales, a proportion that has been rising fast, and independent outlets for about one tenth.
But the humble vegetable box represents more than an attempt simply to supply fresh food directly from producers to consumers. It is seen as one way of reinvigorating the local economy and turning back the tide of globalisation that has washed over the world in the past two decades - bringing with it, for many communities, job losses, bank closures, and the leaching out of economic wealth. It is part of a wider movement that has seen the sometimes phenomenal growth of credit unions - a form of self-help alternative to banks - local exchange and trading systems (LETS], where people exchange skills and services instead of money, and many other forms of economic DIY.
Globalisation has had a significant impact on food, where, critics argue, it has destroyed seasonality, disconnected people from farming and vastly increased the "food miles" total - the distance food travels from farm to plate - at a high environmental cost. Repairing this damage accords with two of the organic movement's important principles - working in locally organised agricultural systems and taking account of the social and ecological impact of farming methods.
Box schemes are one part of this local food economy, which is known generically as "community supported agriculture". Others are food co-operatives, community- owned farms and gardens, allotments, farmers' markets and local cooking businesses.
In the UK, the number of farmers' markets, where producers sell direct to customers, has increased dramatically in the past few years. There are now 120 of them, held regularly from Penzance in Cornwall to Perth in Scotland. Many local authorities are helping to establish farmers' markets as part of their sustainable development strategy, known as Local Agenda 21 since being agreed at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. In Bath, a pilot market was set up by the city council and the Bath Environment Centre in 1997, with up to 30 farmers and producers selling to 3,000 customers every month. The stallholders have now formed their own association and hold the market fortnightly.
Community-supported agriculture began in Japan 30 years ago - it was known as teikei, meaning "putting the farmers' face on food" - and more recently has spread to the US and Europe, notching up remarkable growth.
In 1990 there were about 60 such schemes in the US, mainly "subscription farming" in which customers commit themselves to buying produce from a local grower: the grower receives a fair price, the customer can even help out with the harvest. Today there are more than 1,000 involving over 100,000 families. And with support from the National Lottery Charities Board, the Soil Association is now setting up 15 Food Futures projects around the UK - all aimed at generating new networks for producing and selling food. Three are already operating, in Leicestershire, Cumbria and Powys.
The doorstep economy has pointed a different way forward for local producers. So far, at least, it's proving extraordinarily popular.

B/dos victory second largest ever by local ruggers
The national rugby team's margin of victory against Barbados on Saturday in their NACRA 15s fixture was the second largest ever.
The 48-19 win (29 points gap) is Guyana's biggest against any team since their 57-nil drubbing of St Lucia in August 2005.
With the win on Saturday at the Garrison Savannah, Guyana moved on to face last year's Southern Zone winners and familiar foe, Trinidad and Tobago in the zone final on June 7.
That match will be played here in Guyana at a venue yet to be announced.
In Saturday's thrashing of the host, Avery Corbin and Carl Lewis breached the Barbados' defense
on two occasions each while Rondell McArthur Claudius Butts, Cloyd Prowell and Theodore Henry recorded a try each.
National captain, Ryan Gonsalves also chipped in with four conversions in the rout.
The three tries and two conversions by the Bajan ruggers were not enough against the powerful locals.
"The team performed really well," Gonsalves told this publication soon after returning to Guyana on Sunday.
"It's good to know that we put away an opponent with such a margin of victory, that the most we ever beat Barbados."
Team's performance
"I think everyone gave it their all, the game meant a lot to us because we wanted to be on the winning side.
"We really took the game to the Bajans from the first kick off, we played as a unit and stuck to the game plan which was to play loose since we are not as big as them."
Gonsalves added "The players used their speed and played wide, I must give a lot of credit to my teammates, everyone played a major part in getting the victory but it is not over yet."
Next hurdle to cross
"The journey is not over yet" Gonsalves pointed out. "Barbados was just the first hurdle, we have our next game against Trinidad and that to me is the Caribbean finals so aloft is at stake."
Gonsalves also mentioned that "the team still have some areas to work on" and will be using the time in between their next game to iron out the kinks.
The national captain also highlighted that the sport has brought pride and glory to Guyana and is optimistic of receiving corporate support to help with preparations before the game and a large raucous crowd during the match.

Norman Reedus, Kesha, Ron Howard + More in Celebrity Tweets of the Day
Today (May 1) the celebrities celebrated May Day, talked Hollywood and gave health and hair advice.
Today (May 1) the celebrities celebrated May Day, talked Hollywood and gave health and hair advice.
Kesha was her usual adorably wacky self on 'Conan' last night. To wit: She wore a booty short/three-piece suit with host Conan O'Brien's face all over it, and then she talked about the weirdest things possible.
Kesha is all about love -- love for whiskey, love for partying, love for music and most of all, love for one another. Considering she's taken considerable beatings in the press from critics and gossip bloggers who don't know any better, the Cannibal Queen is a natural to take on bullying.
She's joined the Love Is Louder Than the Pressure to Be Perfect campaign to combat bullying, joining the ranks of fellow stars Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Victoria Justice and more. A special clip from her show demonstrates just how much the cause matters to her.
When Kesha announced she was touring with Pitbull, a lot of Animals scratched their heads. Considering 'Warrior' had a bit of a rock n' roll turn, it seemed strange that she'd hit the road with the Latin pop king. But it actually makes a lot of sense when you think about it. K-Dollar Sign herself explains.
Kesha can have any man she wants, though she tends to opt for dudes with beards -- but she may have her baby blues set on a baby-faced heartthrob. The 'C'Mon' singer admits that she's been texting One Direction hottie Harry Styles!
The 2013 MTV Movie Awards took place tonight (April 14), with plenty of pop stars on hand to party and bro down with the actors and actresses who were celebrated at the event. Selena Gomez was golden and utterly gorgeous in a mini dress, tossing her hair into a sexy, messy fishtail braid, while the always unpredictable Kesha channeled her inner goth hippie. Check out the red carpet fashions, which were much more dialed down than your typical awards show, like the VMAs or the Grammys, since this was a casual, cool and fun night, and not nearly as formal.

Fire, Flames And Fantasy - Poem by Michael Wride
Words flow through tinted mists
Falling out of holes
Words flowing from a fire
Like glowing coals
Inflamed orange with pain.
Light the mists with a red tinge
Reach the spiralling heights of a whirlwind
Of swirling incandescent sparks
Pulled upwards
Pulled inwards
On themselves
Screaming in pain.
Flames floating, flickering, flying, dying
In vain they cry
For fear of frozen liquids
Of snow
Of ice
Of rain
To dampen the heights of their power.
Above all the church spires
The angels cry at the heat
The heat from the fires below
It infests their minds
And again makes them cry.
Holding invisible irretrievable sparks
Like rain
They stain the ground when they fall
Born on the air they burn it
With languid histories of heat
They tell tales
Into furrowed brows they burrow.
And then
Then they provide the time to know
Provide all the time of life.
For ever
To show how beautiful they have become
Falling upwards to fill the gaps they made
In the stars from whence they came
'To return to whence we came' they say
And now they return
With stories of heroism
And heroes and cowards killed
Stifled when the wind blows away
All thoughts that they should have stayed.
The life force lost
The sparks have gone
The fires are black and the coals have cooled
Cold as cold
Colder than ice can be
Like a frightened, fantastic, ill-fated life.
A nightmare of whiteness
There is now no form to things
No one can mourn the many moons there once were
'Once were'?
Strips of paint on flat paper
Are all that remain
And the news at which the poor things gloat
Is the same as their fingers of nastiness.
All they say is
'Blackened light is nothing'
And they leave.
Now the flames have gone
The sparks have flown
The coals have cooled
Forgotten how they glowed.
The stars have become real again
But who cares?
But indeed who knows?
Who the hell is there left to know?

The Energy Report Friday, June 19, 2009
Treasuries for sale or rent. The buck ain't worth but 50 cents. More rules, more czars, more debt. I won't let you make thoserisky bets. Ah but, more powers I have found will let me push entrepreneurs around. I'm a country of means by no means king of the Fed.
If you have seen one bubble you have seen them all. Tim Geithner defending the administration asking for sweeping regulatory powers while the government racks up record debtwith him saying that we still need to do more. The Treasury announced a jaw dropping 104 billion dollar debt to auction shaking the concept of fiscal responsibility to the core. Commodities are becoming more valuable as the marketwonders if the Fed would know a bubble if it popped in its face.
Still the oil market wanted to be optimistic about better than expected economic data from the Conference Board's Leading Economic Indicator and a much better than expected Philly Fed number. Or maybe oil just has no confidence that the dollar can stay strong. Yet then oil got into a fascinating tug of war with natural gas as oil kept trying to drive higher while natural gas pulled lower. Part of that was the natural gas injection that was much higher than expected and reminds us that demand is weak.
But It isn't just the weekly gas number that has attracted the attention of the gas market but a long term outlook and the mood set by a report by the Potential Gas Committee that said without government assistance (how is that possible?) the amount of technically recoverable and proven U.S. natural gas reserves climbed to 2,074 trillion cubic feet last year, up 35 percent from 2006.The report by the said the United States holds a potential 1,836.4 tcf of natural gas compared with the group's previous estimate of 1,320.9 tcf. This is the highest natural gas resource estimate in the committee's 44-year history.
China has been buying commodities as a hedge against inflation and a hedge againstUS record spending. Dow Jones is reporting that there is more evidence of China's growing energy imbalancewith newsfrom China's Securities Journal that May coal imports were 9.43 million tons, more than double year-earlier levels.Surging imports in the first few months this year can't be (interpreted as) booming demand in China as refined copper was used as a substitute for scrap copper and copper alloy which were in short supply due to weak prices. Dow Jones reported China's appetite for copper in 2009 won't likely be as large as last year despite Beijing's industry-supportive measures.
Buy August crude at 7000 - stop 6790.
Bu August heating oil at 18700 -stop 18500.
Buy August RBOBat19300 -stop 18900.
Buy August natural gas at 4120 -stop 3290.
The Dan Flynn Corn & Ethanol Report
The July Corn settled at 404 3/4 which was up 1 1/2 cents.
The range was 406 1/2 to 402 1/2.
I continue toremain bullish in the long hauldespite short term selling setbacks.
On the Energy Front look for continued gains on Crude Oilwhich will propelhigher R-Bob Gasoline prices.
With higher Gas prices alternitive sources of Energy will become more attractive.
Keep in mind a cheaper U.S. Dollar andhigher Energyand Grain prices look for a spike in Ethanol.
Have a Great Trading Day !

In a veiled criticism of Michael Howard's plans unveiled in his Crime Bill, Chris Sallon QC said judges' freedom to sentence according to the merits of individual cases was vital.
Judges had the right, enshrined in law, to change their mind about a prison term and impose a less harsh penalty for up to one month after the original sentencing.
Greg Lynn, of the Victims of Crime Trust, said crime victims could feel insulted by criminals receiving lighter sentences in recognition of the fact that they have pleaded guilty.

Exclusive: CVC say they are under no pressure to sell F1
By Alan Baldwin
SILVERSTONE, England (Reuters) - Formula One's commercial rights holders CVC Capital Partners are under no pressure to sell their controlling stake in the sport and want to keep it, co-chairman Donald Mackenzie told Reuters on Saturday.
He would not comment on reports that RSE Ventures, the investment vehicle of Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, was teaming up with Qatar to buy CVC's stake in a potential $7 billion-$8 billion deal..
Asked at the British Grand Prix whether the private equity fund had a deadline by which they had to sell their 35.5 percent stake, the media-shy businessman replied: "No, we don't. There is no end date.
"We have 12 year funds, which we have to return the original money. We have already done that. So the pressure's off," added Mackenzie.
"We like owning it (Formula One), we don't want to sell it. There are always some people who'd like to buy it, it's a very good business."
CVC has twice tried to float Formula One, most recently in 2013, but the plans stalled and the fund instead sold stakes to U.S. investment groups BlackRock and Waddell & Reed, along with Norway's Norges Bank.
It sold down its holding from 63 percent in 2012 in deals that at the time gave the business an enterprise value, which includes debt and equity, of $9.1 billion.
A source familiar with the matter told Reuters last month that a deal with Ross and the Qataris could be done within six weeks. Continued...

The so-called "Begelman Scandal", dubbed "Hollywoodgate" by the New York Post's reporter Liz Smith, broke in the autumn of 1976 when the actor Cliff Robertson discovered that a cheque made out to him and allegedly endorsed by his own signature had never reached him, nor was he due any payment from Columbia. It transpired that Robertson was one of four Hollywood residents, including the director Martin Ritt, whose names had been forged by the former agent David Begelman, then Columbia Pictures' senior executive vice-president, and head of Columbia Pictures Studios.
Jaffe was the first person to be confided in by Hirschfield, the head of Columbia. Although much of Jaffe's own authority had been curtailed on Hirschfield's installation, Jaffe was rightly regarded as venerable and influential. Jaffe stayed on, weathering the Begelman scandal with dignity until 1981.
Leo Jaffe had been majoring in business studies at New York University when he took a summer job at Columbia in 1930, only six years after the studio had been officially founded by Harry Cohn and his brother Jack Cohn. Jaffe was offered a permanent auditing position at the completion of his summer job. He accepted, and managed to complete his formal education at night. Under Harry Cohn, aided greatly by the director Frank Capra, Columbia dragged itself up from its poverty-row bootstraps, and Leo Jaffe rose through the ranks to become vice-president in 1954, assistant treasurer vice- president in 1956, first vice-president treasurer in 1958 and executive vice-president in 1962.
Jack Cohn died in 1956, and Harry Cohn followed two years later - after Columbia's staggering 1957 multiple Oscar win with The Bridge On The River Kwai - ending a truly remarkable period where Columbia Pictures, unlike any other Hollywood studio, had never gone into the red. Sam Briskin succeeded Cohn as the head of production, and it was he who promoted Leo Jaffe to vice-president, and the associate Abe Schneider to chief executive.
The studio enjoyed a run of European-based hits, including The Guns of Navarone (1961), Lawrence of Arabia (1962), and Dr Strangelove (1964), which were both critical and popular successes, prompting Jaffe and Schneider to open a London base in 1965. This resulted in a flurry of "swingin' London" movies, but also in the excellent A Man For All Seasons (1966) and Oliver! (1968).
The Sixties were good for Columbia, with across-the-board triumphs like Born Free (1966) from the British base, and the tremendously influential Easy Rider (1969) and Five Easy Pieces (1970), key examples of a perceived new independence in American cinema.
But the early Seventies saw a series of expensive catastrophes - Richard Harris as Cromwell (1970), Liv Ullman in the utterly unnecessary musical version of Lost Horizon (1973), the over-long and simplistic Independence musical 1776 (1972) - that seemed unstoppable. These were megabudget movies with little audience potential to justify their costs, leaving Columbia with debts of $220m, and extremely vulnerable. This led to the Wall Street investment banking firm of Herbert A. Allen & Company picking up the studios, and to the promotion of Leo Jaffe as chairman of the board in 1973.
The veteran producer Ray Stark masterminded Allen's 1973 take-over. He hired Alan Hirschfield as head of Columbia Picture Industries, and David Begelman as president of Columbia Picture Studios, both with the title President and Chief Executive Officer, under Jaffe's Board Chairmanship.
Under this new management, Columbia began the long climb back. New movies were openly more adult, the creative responsibility, though supervised as tightly as any studio in Hollywood, offering a degree of new freedom under Hirschfield and Begelman's benign liberal control.
Their 1973 story purchase Watch The Skies! was to become 1977's success Close Encounters of the Third Kind; a tale loosely based on a local hairdresser became 1975's adult hit Shampoo; Martin Scorsese delivered the astonishing Taxi Driver (1975); Oliver Stone wrote the sensationalist expose Midnight Express (1977), while Tommy (1975), The Deep (1977), and Funny Lady (1975, the sequel to the smash Funny Girl) were proof, if proof were needed, that the studio was well and truly back on its feet under the new regime.
But it was on the eve of the premiere of Close Encounters of the Third Kind that the Begelman affair burst wide open. In a year when Columbia was verging on a $300m take Begelman was revealed to have embezzled over $61,000 - a petty sum in Hollywood terms - by forging signatures and abusing his position. At a series of intense board meetings, presided over by Jaffe, Hirschfield rightly tried to have the errant Begelman removed, but Columbia's new track record and Begelman's own popularity within the closed film community made that exceedingly difficult, despite the fact that Begelman was clearly a habitual liar and appropriator of other people's money.
The whole affair appalled Jaffe, whose boardroom speech was reported in David McClintick's Indecent Exposure (1982): "There are certain things you can forgive a man for doing as a human being, but that have no place in a publicly-owned company. We have to think about the public, the shareholders, and our employees. What do we say to the next person who steals? Do we have a double standard? Executives can steal, but employees at a lower level can't?"
It was a powerful, reasoned, cogent, humanitarian argument, but the board, impressed by Begelman's own appearance before it, turned against Hirschfield and Jaffe, and amazingly Begelman, though initially suspended, was reinstated in a stronger position than ever. It was Jaffe who publicly announced that if Begelman was to return to Columbia, Hirschfield must have a new contract, to show that he was actually running the company. It was also Jaffe, as chairman, who was entrusted with informing the California police that Columbia would not file charges against Begelman.
Understandably, Hirschfield was furious, and Begelman's victim Cliff Robertson went public over the affair. Hirschfield used Jaffe as a conduit to communicate with the board, and on 31 March 1978 Begelman was finally arrested on four charges of felony - one count of grand theft and three counts of forgery.
Hirschfield had angered Herbert Allen by his handling of the affair, and Jaffe was asked to give him the news that Allen wished him fired along with the eventual removal of Begelman.
Variety reported Jaffe as saying that he hoped Hirschfield would be retained, but on 5 July 1978 he was removed as President of Columbia, ceding power to Daniel Melnick and Frank Price, who became responsible for a run of success including Gandhi (1982) and The Karate Kid franchises.
Jaffe stayed on as chairman until 1981, and was proud to witness a major Columbia success with Kramer vs Kramer (1979), a marvellous tear-jerker produced by Leo's own son Stanley.
Jaffe stepped down as chairman immediately before the Coca-Cola Corporation bought Columbia Pictures for a figure of between $700m and $800m (about $70 per Columbia share), before the two smash hits of the Eighties, Tootsie (1982) and Ghostbusters (1984), and worked during the latter years of Columbia's disarray for President Reagan, as chairman of the US Information Agency, 1981-88.
In 1979, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recognised Jaffe by awarding him an Oscar, the select non-competitive Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, industry awareness that amongst one of the most appallingly corrupt scandals from a town drenched in scandal Leo Jaffe alone emerged with both honour and credit.
Leo Jaffe, film executive: born New York 23 April 1909; vice-president, Columbia Pictures 1954-56, assistant treasurer vice-president 1956-58, vice- president-treasurer 1958-62, executive vice-president 1962-73, chairman of the board 1973-81; married; died New York 20 August 1997.

Approximate self-consistent orbitals for excited electronic states of cis- and trans-1, 3-butadiene are obtained by a modification of Roothaan's procedure, in the non-empirical $\pi $-electron approximation. The integrals used were evaluated by Parr & Mulliken for calculation of the ground-state electronic wave function. The effects of configuration interaction are calculated by an approximate method and compared with an exact calculation. Molecular orbitals have been obtained both with and without the auxiliary condition that spatial factors of both $\alpha $ and $\beta $ spin-orbitals should be members of a single orthogonal set. Semi-empirical values for the basic integrals, due to Pariser & Parr, have also been used to calculate the energies of excited states by the approximate configuration interaction method. Energy levels derived from the Pariser-Parr integrals are in close agreement with observed levels, which differ considerably from those calculated from the Parr-Mulliken non-empirical integrals.

Discovering new treatments for different types of human cancer is essential. We have identified the Hippo tumor suppressor signaling pathway as a potential new avenue by which melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, could be treated. Using highly efficient laboratory modelling of human melanoma, we will test whether targeting the Hippo pathway could treat this disease. Our findings will have the potential to influence treatment of other cancers too.

Muskingum County Community Development Director Sheila Samson met with the county commissioners Thursday to discuss the allocation of funds.
The county is eligible for $133,000 from the 2014 Community Development Allocation Grant funded by the state of Ohio.
"They were reviewing the subrecipient applications that different communities had submitted," Samson said. "They were reviewing their grant requests along with their match dollars and gave a description of the projects that they were wanting to move forward with."
The commissioners agreed to allocate $67,400 to projects in Licking Township, $23,600 to the Village of Philo, and $24,000 to projects in Cass Township for a total of $115,000. Each county in the state is also eligible to apply for two critical infrastructure grants for up to $300,000.
"We will apply for funding to assist with the construction for the Grant Cliff Bridge project which is earmarked to begin in the summer of 2015," Samson said. "Then we are also looking at the Village of Frazeysburg for a storm sewer improvement project, and that will be approximately $150,000."
Samson said they also plan to apply for a $300,000 neighborhood revitalization grant for the Village of South Zanesville that would help fund street and park improvements.

Dickinson read by Classic Poetry Aloud: http://www.classicpoetryaloud.com/ Giving voice to the poetry of the past. --------------------------------------------- Surrender by Emily Dickinson (1830 – 1886) Doubt me, my dim companion! Why, God would be content With but a fraction of the love Poured thee without a stint. The whole of me, forever, What more the woman can, -- Say quick, that I may dower thee With last delight I own! It cannot be my spirit, For that was thine before; I ceded all of dust I knew, -- What opulence the more Had I, a humble maiden, Whose farthest of degree Was that she might, Some distant heaven, Dwell timidly with thee!

|[jira] Commented: (OJB-54) ConnectionFactoryManagedImpl may try to use pool
|Sat, 09 Jul 2005 18:40:10 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OJB-54?page=comments#action_12315410 ] Armin Waibel commented on OJB-54: --------------------------------- Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. If you use ConnectionFactoryManagedImpl OJB still need to know the name of the DataSource in jdbc-connection-descriptor. If you specify a DataSource name in the jdbc-connection-descriptor or set this name at runtime OJB don't expect a driver name (I tested it). Could you describe in detail (code/pseudo code) what's going wrong? > ConnectionFactoryManagedImpl may try to use pool > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: OJB-54 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OJB-54 > Project: OJB > Type: Bug > Versions: 1.0.x CVS > Environment: JBoss/HSQL > Reporter: Michael Lipp > > When I configure ConnectionFactoryManagedImpl as connection factory, I expect that my already managed connection (e.g. from JBoss) is used. However, as ConnectionFactoryManagedImpl.lookupConnection calls ConnectionFactoryAbstractImpl.lookupConnection this is not the case. ConnectionFactoryAbstractImpl.llokupConnection doesn't care whether or not called from ConnectionFactoryManagedImpl. Rather, its behaviour depends on jcd.isDataSource() which in turn depends on a data source name being set (and in my case subsequently causes an error because it wants a driver name for creating a pool and the driver name is not given). > This is not what the "uninitiated" user expects. Especially in conjunction with using JdbcMetadataUtils. I used this to fill my JCD, set connection factory to ConnectionManagedImpl and, of course, expected everything to work find. No mentioning anywhere that I have to specify a data source name! -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

In 2008, Bobby Johnson's Commodores easily surpassed media expectations. Selected to finish last in the SEC East, the Commodores finished in a tie for third with a 4-4 league mark. The record included victories over nationally ranked South Carolina and Auburn, eventual Cotton Bowl champion Ole Miss and eventual Liberty Bowl winner Kentucky.
The media voted Florida unanimously as their projected winner in the SEC East, followed by Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Kentucky. In the West, Alabama was given the nod in a close decision over LSU and Ole Miss. Arkansas, Auburn and Mississippi State followed in the ballot.
Lewis, a three-year starter from Pompano Beach, Fla., has been mentioned as a preseason candidate for the Thorpe Award, given to the nation's top defensive back. He is also listed among the nation's elite senior cornerbacks by most NFL Draft analysts.
Lewis enters the season off a superb 2008 campaign, when he formed one of the SEC's top cornerback tandems along with All-America recipient and current Chicago Bear D.J. Moore. Lewis finished with five interceptions last year, including game-clinching picks over Auburn and Boston College in the Music City Bowl. He also shared the team lead with five quarterback sacks and set new single-season career highs in virtually every defensive category.
The Commodores open the 2009 season hosting Western Carolina on September 5 in Vanderbilt Stadium. Besides Western Carolina, other opponents on Vanderbilt's six-game home schedule are SEC foes Mississippi State (Sept. 19), Ole Miss (Oct. 3), Georgia (Oct. 17) and Kentucky (Nov. 14), and Atlantic Coast Conference power Georgia Tech (Oct. 31).
SEC PREDICTED ORDER OF FINISH 64 total votes SEC Champions – Florida (63), Ole Miss (1) Eastern Division 1. Florida (64) 64 2. Georgia 133 3. South Carolina 217 4. Tennessee 258 5. Vanderbilt 317 6. Kentucky 355 Western Division 1. Alabama (33) 109 2. LSU (15) 145 3. Ole Miss (16) 149 4. Arkansas 245 5. Auburn 309 6. Mississippi State 387

Dean Russell McKeown (born 5 February 1960) is a currently bannedBritish Thoroughbred horse racing jockey. He embarked on his professional career as a teenager, earning his first win in 1977. While never a Champion jockey, McKeown has won a number of important Conditions races in the United Kingdom including three editions of the Cambridgeshire Handicap at Newmarket Racecourse. He also won the Ebor Handicap (2002) and Chester Cup (2003) aboard Hugs Dancer then in the fall of 2004 became the regular jockey for trainer Alan Swinbank where he became an integral part of the racing success of Collier Hill.
Riding Collier Hill, McKeown won a number of major international races, including the 2005 Group 2 Gerling Preis in Cologne, Germany, the C$2 million Grade 1 Canadian International at Woodbine Racetrack in Canada, and the HK$14 million Hong Kong Vase in Hong Kong, China.
Dean has found himself in hot water after being found in breach of the non-trier's rule (rule 157) at Southwell on Tuesday, 4th November 2008. McKeown was found guilty after his ride on Rascal In The Mix in the 1.30 maiden auction stakes finished unplaced having attracted significant market support before drifting.
He has since had his licence removed for his involvement in race fixing and is currently waiting for a decision from the high court in which he is appealing against the British Horseracing Authority's decision.
Dean McKeown has three daughters: Lauren, Hayley, Francesca.

GBPUSD: Weakening Within Its Rising Channel
GBPUSD :Even though GBP weakened for a third in a row Wednesday, it held above its Tuesday low at 1.4581 and its key support at the 1.4662 level, its Feb 23'09 high suggesting that we may soon see a recovery of its declines triggered at the 1.4959 level, its April 06'09 high. Another support for this view is the pair's rising channel which provides an upside bias while price action remains within it. Resistance now runs from the 1.3655 level, its Mar 11'09 low to its April 06'09/Feb 09'09 highs at 1.4986/65 with a break and hold above there triggering the resumption of its recovery initiated at the 1.3504 towards the 1.5374 level, its Jan 08'09 high. However, if a return below the 1.4662 and the 1.4581 levels occurs, that will put our upside view temporarily on hold and yield pressure towards the 1.4305 level, its Mar 06'09 low and next the 1.4110 level, its Mar 30'09 low ahead of the 1.3845 level, its Mar 18'09 low. The daily stochastics remains supportive of this scenario. All in all, we retain our upside bias while the pair continues to maintain within its rising channel.

• The Guardian has a package of articles today about antidepressants. The use of antidepressants has surged across the rich world over the past decade, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, raising concerns among doctors that pills are being overprescribed. Doctors across Europe are warning that the soaring use of antidepressants is down to growing pressure to "medicalise" unhappiness, report Mark Rice-Oxley and Carmen Fishwick. In response to a questionnaire devised by the Guardian and five leading European newspapers, the vast majority of almost 100 European doctors and psychiatrists who replied said there was a "prescribing culture" in their country because other help for people with depression was inadequate. The Guardian asked readers to share their experiences. Fishwick writes:
although statistically it is hard to draw conclusions from such a self-selecting group of Europeans, the overwhelming sense was that respondents felt that antidepressants had helped them – particularly when twinned with some kind of talking therapy.
The Guardian also explores how depression treatment differs throughout Europe and the Data Blog looks at which countries use the most antidepressants. Writing for Comment is free Dr Tim Cantopher, a consultant psychiatrist for the Priory Hospitals Group, says antidepressants work, but they can't cure unhappiness:
Prescription numbers are rising mainly because doctors are getting better at identifying depression, though antidepressants are sometimes prescribed when they aren't needed and won't work. Except for people suffering from recurrent depression they are only first aid, buying you time to sort out the issues that caused the depression in the first place, but never to use them is to miss an opportunity to provide relief from this horrible illness.
• Patrick Butler's Cuts blog examines the problem of rural food poverty. He says a report, published by Harrogate and Ripon Centres for Voluntary Service, identified the biggest food poverty problem in North Yorkshire as "unhealthy eating". He writes:
... perhaps the most interesting cause of unhealthy eating, and not one, I suspect, that is necessarily commonplace in inner city areas, is this one:
An individual or family skips one for more meals because they cannot get to a shop to buy food.
Strange as it may seem, you may be surrounded by farms and farmers but also live in a "food desert". If the nearest shop is miles away, getting there on a regular basis is difficult if you struggle to afford the cost of petrol and transport. The issue of remoteness is even more pronounced when it comes to accessing emergency food aid, the report finds. Respondents to the survey reported that most food aid organisations were based in market towns. Over a quarter of those surveyed said that those in food poverty living in more isolated parts might struggle to get to a food bank (which might be as much as 20 miles away) particularly if they are disabled or sick.
There's more on austerity in rural North Yorkshire in this article by Helen Clifton for the Big Issue in the North.
• An interesting blogpost by Nigel Stanley, TUC's head of campaigns and communications, about what the public think about the economic recovery. He picks out some findings from a recent poll commissioned by Shelter from Populous. Stanley writes:
Almost half of respondents make rising wages the most popular indicator of whether any economic recovery will feel real for them. This goes against the view that people see the living standards crisis as a price issue, rather than a wages issue.
