WI Governor Walker faces recall... what does it mean for Governor Snyder
By Zoe Clark and Jennifer White
It's a big day in Wisconsin as voters in that state are deciding whether or not to recall their Republican Governor Scott Walker. Here in Michigan, however, Republican Governor Rick Snyder is faring a little better. Michigan Republican Party Chairman Robert "Bobby" Schostak joins Michigan Radio's All Things Considered host Jennifer White to take a look at the state of Governor Snyder's popularity, what Republicans voters want in Washington D.C., and when we might see another visit to the mitten by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

Crossing the Battle Line
Dawn has challenged Maylene, the Veilstone Gym Leader, to a battle that's scheduled for the next day. This gives both Dawn and Ash time to train—Ash and Reggie, Paul's older brother, are helping Staravia learn the Brave Bird move. Ash makes himself a moving target to help Staravia improve its concentration, a selfless move that surprises Paul's Electabuzz. That night, after all the training is done, Dawn discusses her Gym challenge jitters with Ash and Brock.
The following morning, the challenge begins: a three-on-three battle! Maylene starts with her Meditite and Dawn is so nervous she almost freezes, but Ash's cheering gets her back into the game. Dawn chooses Buneary; she's unused to this style of battling, but she can also use Contest-style moves to cover for her weaknesses. However, Maylene and her Pokémon move in perfect sync, and Buneary is no match for their power.
Dawn sends out Ambipom next, hoping to draw on the battle experience it gained with Ash. Ambipom defeats Meditite but falls to Maylene's next Pokémon, Lucario, which packs a powerful Bone Rush attack. Now Dawn has to rely on her trusty Piplup, surrounding Lucario with Whirlpool to try and get the upper hand. Lucario still comes out the victor, but the battle leaves both Dawn and Maylene excited about the battles to come. Now that Maylene is ready to resume her Gym Leader duties, it's time for Ash to finish teaching Brave Bird to Staravia so he can challenge Maylene himself...

High Availability Tech Tips
Current Tip
Implementing Data Guard? What you need to know Planning a Disaster Recovery (DR) strategy for your Oracle database may appear daunting but the good news is that Oracle Data Guard is a straightforward application of Oracle technologies, used to maintain one or more synchronized copies of your production database. This lets you leverage existing DBA skills already in-house, and gives your DBA team complete control over your standby databases. You will simultaneously increase data protection and high availability, while reducing cost and business risk compared to using traditional DR solutions implemented in-house or outsourced to 3rd party DR service providers. This overview covers the main points you need to consider to get your Data Guard configuration up and running.
Previous Tips
Data Protection: The Oracle Data Guard Difference - It's Not Just About Disasters Oracle Data Guard is about much more than disaster protection. It protects data and system availability from a wide range of potential events that can cause system downtime leading to business disruption and customer dissatisfaction. This tech tip shares actual customer experiences and helps explain the Data Guard difference compared to some other data protection solutions available today.
Technical Comparison of Oracle Data Guard vs. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Database Mirroring This article provides a comprehensive technical differentiation between Oracle Data Guard and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Database Mirroring.
Technical Comparison of Oracle Data Guard vs. IBM DB2 HADR This article provides a comprehensive technical differentiation between Oracle Data Guard and IBM DB2 HADR.
Oracle Database 10g and Low Cost Storage The trend in the storage industry has always been that as the disk capacity continues to increase, the price per storage continues to decrease. Today you can purchase a 250GB disk drive for less than $500, and six months from now you probably can purchase a bigger disk drive for even less money. Low cost storage does not necessarily mean low performance or reliability.
Reorganizing the Database Whilst Users Are Changing Data There was a time when computer systems were taken offline, overnight or at weekends, so that system maintenance could be performed. Today we live in a very different world where systems have to be constantly available because people expect to be able to do their online banking or Internet shopping, late at night, or on a Sunday morning. Oracle Online Redefinition was introduced in Oracle 9i and with each release of Oracle, it has been enhanced such that it offers a comprehensive range of features for reorganizing the database for both physical and database schema changes without requiring users to disconnect from the database.
Oracle9 i Flashback Query - Fast Row-level Recovery Several leading IT studies indicate that up to 40% of database downtime is attributed to human errors. It's not just the end users making the mistakes; it is the well trained IT professional. We are all human and humans make mistakes. If only it were as easy to undo a mistake as it was to make it! Flashback Query addresses the unavoidable human element, by providing an easy, fast method of querying data, as it existed in the past.
Oracle9i Data Guard - Not Your Father's Log Shipping Oracle9 i Data Guard includes many features that automate the maintenance of a standby database and enable zero data loss disaster recovery configurations. This Tech-Tip helps explain the benefits of using LGWR, and provides a simple method to evaluate network performance of a Data Guard configuration under a production workload.
New Backup & Recovery Features in Enterprise Manager 10g Enterprise Manager (EM) offers a number of features to assist DBAs with the management of database backup and recovery, an essential component of an overall high availability strategy. These features include management of backup set/image copies, a pre-configured backup strategy, point-in-time recovery, and new flashback capabilities.
Oracle Database 10g Cross Platform Transportable Tablespace Moving data using transportable tablespaces can be much faster than performing either an export/import or unload/load of the same data. This is because transporting a tablespace only requires the copying of datafiles and integrating the tablespace structural information. You can also use transportable tablespaces to move both table and index data, thereby avoiding the index rebuilds you would have to perform when importing or loading table data.
Oracle Flashback Technology In the past it might take minutes to damage a database but hours to repair it. In many cases the time to correct errors using Flashback equals the time it took to make the error. Flashback is also extremely easy to use and a single short command can be used to recover the entire database instead of performing complex media recovery. Flashback provides fine-grained surgical analysis and repair for localized damage - like when the wrong customer order is deleted.
Network Bandwidth Implications of Oracle Data Guard Oracle Data Guard is Oracle's data protection and disaster recovery solution. One of the frequent questions that customers ask the Data Guard team is how much network bandwidth is required by Data Guard. A variation of the same question is: Can the network link between the production (or primary site) and disaster recovery (DR or secondary site) data center support a Data Guard configuration?

Operation Bad Blood
The University of England's main campus is a maze of ancient, stone structures and rolling green lawns. Pinehearst's email points you to a building tucked onto the edge of campus.
Inside, you pick through knots of students until you reach a skinny, frosted-glass door labeled "PROFESSOR PRISCILLA VAN CLEEF." The door opens at your knock, and there stands the chairwoman of Pinehearst's Strategic Human Initiatives Committee.
"You look surprised," Priscilla Van Cleef says.
"I didn't expect you to answer your own door," you say.
"Why not? Good exercise. Come in."
"Professor Van Cleef?" a student asks, eyes on you. "I had a question."
"After my meeting, dear," Priscilla says.
"Are you really a professor?" you ask as you enter the dim, book-crammed office. Dust hovers in the air like cigarette smoke.
"Mostly," Priscilla says.
"That student had a taser under his jacket," you say.
"We live in dangerous times, my dear. Please, sit down."
Priscilla settles behind her antique, wood-paneled desk.
"As you know, Pinehearst recruits talented people with abilities," she says. "We recently made contact with a young woman named Elle Bishop. Elle was in quite a pickle, although she didn't know it. A small group of heavily armed and very determined individuals was planning to murder her. One of our RARU tactical teams was able to divert her mysterious attackers before she was even aware of them."
"And now you want me to track the rest of the group down?" you say.
"No," she says. "I'd like you to join them."
"They have intelligence and resources far beyond their means. Infiltrate them. Find out who they work for. Find out what their long-range intentions are."
Priscilla stands.
"Find out if we're at war," she says.
She hands you a slip of paper with an address.
"One of their operatives was wounded during the attack. He is hiding in an underground medical clinic in the city. Go there. Convince him to recruit you."

Convinced that the search for good nutrition goes hand-in-hand with the benefits of mineral water, Nestlé acquired a 30% stake in Société Générale des Eaux Minérales de Vittel (SGEMV) in 1969. At the time, SGEMV was France's third largest mineral water company. In the 1970s, Nestlé strengthened its ties to water by acquiring several German springs via Rietenauer and Blaue Quellen AG. Then it acquired a controlling interest in SGEMV in January 1992, and went on in May of the same year to buy out the entire Perrier Group. Almost as soon as the Group was created, it started stepping up its development. It gradually became established in the rest of Europe and Asia, then in Latin America. Its American subsidiary already had a front seat in the United States. The Group developed "Home & Office" there, a market segment still relatively unknown in Europe, which consists of delivering water coolers to homes and offices. The Group constantly innovates to support geographic expansion. In 1992, Nestlé was the first company to dare to launch a mineral water, Valvert, in five different countries at once. Its originality lied in the use of an all-new plastic, P.E.T. (polyethylene teraphthalate), which is stronger and more elastic than the PVC used since 1968. Besides, P.E.T. is recyclable. The Group launched other innovative products as well: sparkling Quézac water and the sports cap first used in the United States, then in Europe. By the end of 1997, the Group was present on every continent and the acquisition of Sanpellegrino propelled it to the top of the Italian market. The combined operations are forming to lay the foundation for Nestlé's long-term commitment in the bottled water field.
Nestlé Waters, world bottled water leader, is the Nestlé Group's Water Division, accounting for approximately 10% of total sales. Established in 130 countries, with a full range of product formats for all distribution channels, Nestlé Waters offers bottled waters and refreshing water-based beverages to meet consumer needs anywhere, anytime. In a bottled water market where disparities between countries are significant, Nestlé Waters bases its growth on managing a unique portfolio of brands and on a policy of targeted acquisitions around the world. Since its creation in 1992, Nestlé Waters has continued to strengthen its position, regularly showing faster growth than the bottled water market. In parallel with growth, Nestlé Waters is committed to scrupulous protection of its springs, drawing only the bare minimum required for its operations. The company also has a policy of continuous optimisation of production processes so as to avoid waste. As a result, despite Nestlé Waters' market leadership, it uses only a tiny share (0.0009%) of the water consumed on the planet. With this approach, Nestlé Waters ensures the sustainable development of its business model and guarantees its consumers a superior product that stands for quality and purity.

Steamboat Springs The snowy pattern that brought winter to the upper Yampa Valley from Friday to Sunday left more than an inch of moisture behind at 10 different snowpack-measuring sites in the mountains surrounding Steamboat Springs. Together, they feed the Yampa and White river drainages.
The Flat Tops mountains, in particular, received significant moisture.
Crosho Lake, on the edge of the Flat Tops near Phippsburg, has a modest 7 inches of snow on the ground, but the 0.8 inches of water that snow contains represents 100 percent of average for the date.
When will more snow arrive? The National Weather Service in Grand Junction is not showing any snow in the forecast for Steamboat through Sunday. However, there is a chance of snow showers in the Elkhead Mountains along the Colorado-Wyoming border in northwest Routt County sometime after midnight Wednesday.
Ripple Creek Pass, on the way from Phippsburg to Trappers Lake, has 13 inches of snow on the ground that contains 2.1 inches of water. That measurement is 66 percent of average.
Closer to Steamboat, the west side of Rabbit Ears Pass has 7 inches of snow on the ground, representing 1 inch of water, or about 36 percent of average for the date.
To the north of Steamboat, on the edge of the Mount Zirkel Wilderness Area, the Elk River snowpack measuring site at 8,700 feet contains 0.8 inches of moisture in the 6 inches of snow on the ground, representing 89 percent of average for the date.
For the combined Yampa/White Basin, the snowpack is 52 percent of average.

A Langley man was arrested without incident and charged with manslaughter last week in the death of Lytton resident Sandy Charlie.
RCMP told the News the alleged killer, William Robert Smith, 45, is from Siska and was living in the Lytton area at the time Sandy Charlie disappeared. Police say the two men knew each other, and Smith is known to police. Charlie was a member of the Lytton First Nation.
Charlie, 48, was reported missing Jan. 20, 2000 when his friends and family reported he had been missing since December 1999. They waited to alert authorities until Charlie�s Jan. 20 birthday, hoping that he would make contact or return to Lytton.
Despite an exhaustive search by Lytton RCMP and volunteers, Charlie�s remains were not discovered until September of last year when they were found in a concealed makeshift grave near Lytton.
The Provincial Unsolved Homicide Unit took over the case in 2005. After DNA testing last fall determined the remains were Charlie�s, evidence was collected that eventually led to a charge.
Smith appeared Monday in Provincial Court in Kamloops.
�Your heart has to go out to the Charlie family,� said Insp. Gary Shinkaruk of the E Division Major Crime Unit. �Sandy Charlie was missing for so long and they never knew what happened to him. Then after his remains were found, we had to tell them he died as a result of being murdered.�
Insp. Shinkaruk told the News Charlie was �a good man, a good guy. He didn�t live the kind of lifestyle that would put him at risk of dying this way. By all accounts, he was a very well-liked guy and a family man.�
He expressed appreciation to the Lytton community for its �continued efforts and support. Missing persons and homicide cases can have a wide-ranging impact and this was even greater because the community is so tight-knit.�
The inspector said RCMP representatives met Aug. 16 with representatives of the Lytton First Nation and the Siska Band.
�We spent time with the two bands yesterday. In such a small community, this is tough news for people to take in.�
Compounding the tragedy is the death of Charlie�s son, Sandy Nolan Harry Cleghorn, who died while searching for his father.
Cleghorn was reported missing on Jan. 25, 2000 after traveling to Lytton to look for his father. On May 12 of that year, a body identified as Cleghorn, was located on the Fraser River near Lytton. Police determined he died of exposure.
�Our empathy and thoughts go out to the Charlie family, not only for the uncertainty that has been in place with Sandy, but the added loss of his son who was also trying to find his dad,� said Insp. Shinkaruk.

Around the Diamond
I went to the dentist today. (1) Who would ever want to spend their day with their fingers in someone's mouth? (2) I hate the dentist – though who doesn't? (3) At least if they are gonna make me go and inflict copious amounts of pain on me they could have some eye candy for me to look at, right? Only seems fair to me.
With each passing outing I grow more and more fond of this Mike Leake kid. He skipped the minors completely after being the 8th overall selection in the 2009 Entry Draft, and that looked like a major faux pas when he walked 12 batters in his first two big league starts. Well, consider those worries completely alleviated. Leake has gone at least six innings in each of his 10 starts, and nine times the outings have been of the "quality" variety as he has lowered his ERA to 2.45 on the year. Oh yeah, and the walks, they are no longer a problem as he has walked all of 13 batters in his last eight appearances.
The Braves are 16-4 since May 10th as they have made up 7.5 games in the standings. You didn't make the mistake of thinking they wouldn't be in the mix this year, did you?
The Brewers went 9-0 against the Marlins in 1998. Since then they are 30-48 in the matchup.
Speaking of the Brewers, Corey Hart is blazing hot right now with 10 homers and 21 RBI over his last 16 games. Hart also has a fantastic .800 SLG in that time as he is averaging one blast every 6.50 at-bats, though there are also some rather odd numbers to be found such as his .299 OBP and the fact that he's only scored two runs when he didn't knock himself in with a dinger.
I know it sounds crazy, but Aaron Heilman is the best reliever the D'backs have going right now. It's not inconceivable that he could get a few chances in the ninth inning thanks to his 3.38 ERA and 1.17 WHIP, numbers that blow doors on Chad Qualls (7.64 and 2.09) and Juan Gutierrez (10.00 and 1.72).
How disappointing was that Giants/Rockies game on Monday? Ubaldo Jimenez was once again spectacular with a complete game four hit shutout, but Tim Lincecum failed to step up as he allowed five walks and four runs (three earned) before being pulled after 121 pitches and just 5.2 innings. The Giants desperately need Lincecum to figure out what ails him – possibly issues range from blisters to a mechanical glitch – or they'll have no chance to compete in the NL West. As for Jimenez, he tossed 130 pitches on Monday and is third in baseball in pitches thrown (1,218) behind Justin Verlander (1,243) and Roy Halladay (1,220). Verlander has three 120-pitch outings, Halladay two and Jimenez four by the way. All bear close watching as they are throwing an awful lot of pitches right now. One last note on Jimenez. If he were to allow 19 runs in his next start and not record a single out he was still have an ERA below 2.95. That's truly amazing.
Alex Rodriguez hit his 20th grand slam on Monday to move into third place all-time in salami's behind the Iron Horse, Lou Gehrig (23), and the Iron Head, Manny Ramirez (21). A-Rod hit .250 with two homers in April, but he was the same old A-Rod in May hitting five bombs while knocking in 27 runners in 27 games played. He also hit a fine .330 on the month.
I just started watching the series 24 for the first time on DVD. Don't know how people waited an entire week to watch the next episode. And yes, I find Nina attractive.
Grady Sizemore was transferred from the 15 day DL to the 60 day DL meaning that in a best case scenario he would return a couple of weeks after the All-Star game. He might still need more extensive surgery than what is currently planned, the doctors won't know until they get in there, so there is a chance that he might end up missing the rest of the season.
Overall batters are hitting.215 this season against Justin Verlander. However, they seem to be able get to him before he settles in as evidenced by his .370 batting average against in the first inning. After that, they have no shot.

Great room and a very nice hotel. The only issue was the mattress has a baffle system to control how firm it is. The baffles on one side of the bed were not operating correctly creating a low spot. Regardless, would definitley stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Overall very good, but it was a little bit expensive for the room and area...Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel in Missoula"
the hotel was quite comfortable and in a great location since it was just off of the freeway. The rooms were a bit small for us as we had an infant and not much room for the portable crib or to get around the crib. I would ask for a bigger room if you find yourself in a similar location. Otherwise, the rooms were quite clean and the hotel staff was […] very friendly thus making it a good hotel choice if you are in Missoula. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Nice Hotel"
This is our get-away-hotel. We live close by but have stayed here consistently to get some quiet time or get caught up on reading/work that can't be done with the hussle and bussle of home life.

"Hilton Missoula"
Nice, but was told it had sllep number bed and it did not.. Pool was too cold for the kids!!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Less than expected"
This hotel (as advertised) includes breakfast. However, what is not advertised is that there is amenities for breakfast, but there are additional fees for this. The room was cleaned well, although was not cleaned every day. The hot tub was lukewarm and filthy. Some of the staff were friendly and helpful, others were NOT (i.e., recommending a restaurant […] but not mentioning that reservations were required). This place would be good in a pinch (for the price), but not for an extended stay and not if you are expecting to use/receive the advertised amenities/benefits. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Laphroaig Independent Bottlings
My general novice understanding is that most independent bottlings can not be compared to distiller's bottlings, as they aren't so much concerned with keeping the characteristics that make a particular malt, special.
Can anyone here comment on the Laphroaig Independent Bottlings? There are a few and Laphroaig is the favorite in our house (my wife and I enjoy 2 whiskeys each night, one before and one after dinner) and I'd like to expand our collection. We're new to Scotch, just got into it last year, but like everything else we do, we went in the deep end (52 bottles in our collection right now, and it grows every week). We have the 10, 18 and 25 (on the way), the Triple Wood, QC, Cadeiras as well. Any of the Indys we should grab? |
I've only tasted a few independent bottlers so I can't comment on them all. The main concern I have with them is that every bottling is different, that's what they sell them on. I've found one or two that I really like but again some I really don't like all from the same bottler.
If you want a consistent flavour always go for distillery bottlings but buy the independents when you can taste them first for something quite different. |
Thank you, this is very helpful!

Thanks to the Progressive/Socialists, I now recognize that it is no longer Americans who populate this country, it is separate and distinct ehtnic and cultural groups.

The Commiecrats simply want to eliminate the tiresome necessity of stealing 10% of the votes each election. Get more ignorant, socialistic moochers of color in place and that will just naturally take place. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
What reason would Hispanics have to vote for the wimpy Republicans after they caved and went along with a liberal Democrat proposed amnesty?If the Republicans allow any sort of amnesty to pass that gives illegal alien permanent residency, and that puts them on "a path to citizenship" that is liberal Democrat code speak for eventually granting them all duel nationality status with US voting rights, the Republicans will be facilitating the creation of many millions of new liberal Democrat voters and will affectively be committing long-term political suicide. The liberal Democrats would never push for illegal aliens to be granted US voting rights if they ever thought that more them a very small percentage would ever have an epiphany and vote for conservative Republicans.Any legalization program should only give illegal aliens a temporary immigration status, a work permit, and the ability to come and go from the USA. Most working illegal aliens would be happy with that.To attain permanent residency in the USA, the status that leads legal immigrants to US citizenship, all illegal aliens legalized through amnesty should have to go to the back of the line and should have to follow the same procedures, and meet the same qualifications, that legal immigrants must meet when they apply for permanent residence in accordance with the immigration laws.

By failing to secure the border and deport illegal aliens (AKA anchor baby factories) as described by OP, give or take overhauling voter ID rules and halting importation of refugees from Somalia et al, George W. Bush personally hammered the final nails in the coffin lid of the GOP, and by extension, the nation. I don't suppose this was unintentional. Click Here if you Like this Comment
