I have the following query (column log is of type CLOB):
UPDATE table SET log=? where id=?
The query above works fine when using the setAsciiStream method to put a value longer than 4000 characters into the log column.
But instead of replacing the value, I want to append it, hence my query looks like this:
UPDATE table SET log=log||?||chr(10) where id=?
The above query DOES NOT work any more and I get the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column

Giving love to appetizers
Superdiners dish on the delightful beginnings to every meal
The first course of a meal is underpraised. That's why we turn to our Superdiners and ask them who's got a great appetizer in San Diego.
My go-to appetizer is always the soup. You can tell everything you need to know about a place by its soup. The sambar soup at Gourmet India (810 Fourth Ave., Gaslamp Quarter. 619-702-7967 or gourmet-india.us) is a great start: lentils, tomatoes and onions, spiked with cardamom, coriander and ginger. Catch a Bollywood gangster flick on the projector there and it's a good day. — Ricardo Heredia, executive chef at Alchemy Restaurant
I spend more time dining off the appetizer side of menus than the entree side, because I enjoy the whimsy chefs are able to employ when not saddled to the protein-starch-veg-sauce equation. I never thought I'd cite a mussel dish as one of my faves, but I recently lapped up every bit of a huge plate of mussels served in a white wine and garlic broth fortified with duck confit and cognac at Pacifica Del Mar (Del Mar Plaza, 1555 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar. 858-792-0476 or pacificadelmar.com). Rich and bathe-in-it good, it was unlike anything I've had before. — Brandon Hernández, food writer (Twitter @offdutyfoodie)
I confess, I am stuck in a rut. I have never eaten at The Farm House Cafe (2121 Adams Ave., University Heights. 619-269-9662 or farmhousecafesd.com) without splitting an order of chef Olivier Bioteau's escargot risotto (OK, once I had a burger, but that was breakfast and doesn't count). There's none better, period! In fact, just the very act of writing this makes me crave another steamy bowl of that snail-laden gem! — Andrew Spurgin, consulting chef and event architect, andrewspurgin.com
Go-to starter: veggies. It's a preview of things to come. An example: I just had an incredible wood-fired roasted yams with blue cheese sauce and cabbage dish at Tiger! Tiger! (3025 El Cajon Blvd., North Park. 619-487-0401 or tigertigertavern.blogspot.com). I left wanting to try everything on their menu and will likely return for the attempt. — Anthony Schmidt, bartender at Noble Experiment
These days it's the sweet potato fry. Simple and delicious, and if the chef does it right, I know I've got a very good chance for a great meal to follow. And for me, Heights Tavern (3377 Adams Ave., Normal Heights. 619-501-3455 or heightstavern.com) raises the sweet potato bar. This is a tavern, so you'd be a simple spud if you didn't try its stout (ice cream) float while you're there. — Charles Kaufman, baker, owner of Bread & Cie Café (Twitter @BreadAndCie)
We'll order the goi cuon (pork and shrimp fresh spring rolls) whenever we get pho. We phased out of ordering calamari and moved on to new starters. The shaved Brussels sprouts are excellent at Davanti Enoteca (two local locations; davantienoteca.com). The hot wings at Eureka! (UTC Mall, 4353 La Jolla Village Drive, University City. 858-210-3444 or eurekaburger.com) aren't bad, and surprisingly you're given a generous amount. — Joanne Arellano, human resources professional, avid Yelper, avid diner
My go-to starter has been oysters for as long as I can remember. With champagne preferably. In SD I still look to the Oceanaire for solid oyster experience. — Jeff Josenhans, director of beverage outlets and sommelier at U.S. Grant Hotel
Like about 99.9 percent of carnivores, I like bacon. I especially like it when it's wrapped around something. I haven't tried bacon wrapped around some Air Jordan kicks, but I'm not ruling it out. For now, though, a starter like the bacon wrapped dates — not the person you arrived with, but rather those delightful fruits that are really good for you — is a must have for me. PrepKitchen in Little Italy has them on their tapas menu from 3-7 and late night 10-close. If I'm in the area at either of those times, I don't miss a chance to have this delicious combo of sweet and salty. — Gerald "Dex" Poindexter, publicist, avid diner (Twitter @SuperdinerDex)

Abused woman dies eight days after beating
– reputed husband on the run, lover arrested
Eight days after sustaining a "sound trashing" allegedly at the hands of her reputed husband, Seekumarie Singh, succumbed to her injuries at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) early yesterday.
Singh, 40, of Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara (ECD) was brutally beaten by her reputed husband, "Budan" two Saturdays ago but was only rushed to the hospital yesterday after complaining continuously for abdominal pain.
However, this action was apparently too late, as she eventually succumbed while receiving treatment. Despite the circumstances surrounding her death police are treating the matter as a murder.
Singh's reputed husband has since gone into hiding.
But police have arrested a man who was said to be a friend of the dead woman, after they were informed that he too was a constant abuser.
Singh had sustained an injury to her forehead, swollen eyes and black and blue marks were visible on her skin. This publication was told that she was kicked a few times in her abdomen.
According to information, Seekumarie and "Budan" lived together for a number of years. "Budan" is a fisherman and would spend almost two weeks at a time away from home. Kaieteur news was informed that in his absence, Singh started another relationship a few months ago with another man.
"Budan" learnt about the relationship about two months ago.
Two Saturdays ago, "Budan" returned from sea and was spending time with Singh when the beating allegedly took place.
Singh subsequently fled the home and went to her male friend and complained to him about the "beating" she received from her reputed husband.
She stayed with the friend and after crying out for severe pain, he rushed her to the hospital where she died.
A post-mortem would be performed on the body today.

Gone are the days when every party ended with a goody bag. I'm sure you'll agree that the best part of grade school parties was the paper bag full of Blow Pops and Silly Putty that you received when it was over. Unfortunately, most people don't observe that particular tradition past the age of ten, and as a result, adult parties don't tend to include goody bags. In fact, it's the other way around when you're a grown-up.
A polite guest always brings a hostess gift when showing up to a party. There's no better way to say "thanks for the good time" than with a thoughtful gift. If you're going to be partying it up this holiday season, here are some fresh new ideas that any host or hostess will appreciate.
Something Tasty
Give the gift that won't be re-gifted: tasty food. If you choose to bring something edible, make sure your hosts understand that the treat is for their own enjoyment; you don't want them to feel compelled to share it with guests. If you're a whiz in the kitchen, here are some culinary concepts for your busy (and rather hungry) host.
A loaf of bread
Bake an out-of-the-ordinary loaf that your host can enjoy as a snack. Consider making holiday breads like banana bread, cranberry bread, or this tasty-sounding rocky road bread that I found on Bake Space. For a delightful presentation, wrap the loaf in a cute kitchen towel and tie it up with a ribbon.
No baking talent? No problem! Give your hosts the gift of hot-out-of-the-oven brownies or cookies with minimal work. Simply layer dry ingredients in a mason jar, slap a bow on it, and attach baking instructions. For directions, check out this brownie recipe. It makes a gorgeous gift, and it's easy to put together.
Splurge on some gourmet chocolates. I guarantee that you'll be thanked profusely.
Something Decorative
If you're fairly confident in your host's personal taste, you can bring a decorative gift. Here are a few gift ideas for the host that appreciates knick-knacks.
Homemade candles
Store-bought candles are cliché. But homemade candles? Simply genius. Check out this tutorial on Overstock.com to learn how to make simple fragrance candles.
Christmas ornaments
Whether it's store-bought or homemade, an ornament is always a great gift at Christmas time.
An air-purifying houseplant
You might be scratching your head in confusion at this one, but small plants make a great gift because they not only look nice, but they've been shown to reduce stress. If you're going to gift a plant, buy one that has a purpose. Air-purifying plants can absorb the nasty chemicals left behind from cleaning, painting and doing other household things. Check out this list of air-purifying plants to find the perfect little green pet for your host or hostess.
A vase
Do not, and I repeat, DO NOT bring a bouquet of flowers. You don't want your hosts to feel compelled to leave the party to put them in water. Bring a vase instead, or if you'd really like to go the extra mile, put flowers in the vase and gift both.
Something Just for Fun
A board or card game
Check out "Table Topics" cards from Uncommon Goods. Each box comes with 135 cards to get guests thinking and talking. Help liven up the party, and give your hosts something to enjoy for years to come.
Wine, beer, or liquor
Yes, wine is a "tired" gift, but it'll never be refused. CBS News has a great article about the etiquette rules for gifting alcohol that you can find right here. In short, remember that alcohol may not be an appropriate gift for all events. For instance, you don't want to show up to Great Aunt Erma's formal Thanksgiving dinner with a six-pack of Budweiser – unless, of course, that's how Great Aunt Erma rolls.
Fun shot glasses
If it's a less formal event, and you plan on bringing fine whiskey or something of that nature, it could be fun to include a pair of quirky shot glasses – but only if it's appropriate!
Something Kitchen Related
Is your host into cooking? Pick out something your host wouldn't normally spend money on for themselves; think "quirky but useful." Here are a few of my favorite ideas for a kitchen-savvy host.
Wine charms
Wine charms are a great way to dress up even the most boring wine glasses. Your hosts will love showing them off next time they throw a party.
Unique salt-and-pepper shakers
Antiques stores everywhere are full of quirky salt and pepper shakers. Pick up a funky pair – they won't cost much, and they'll give your hosts a laugh.
A pretty apron
If you've got a hostess who likes to entertain from the kitchen, buy a pretty and party-worthy apron so she can stay clean and feel fashionable all night long.
Bringing a hostess gift to a party is not old-fashioned; it's polite. It doesn't take a lot of effort or money, but it'll sure be appreciated. What do you plan to give to your holiday hosts this season? Shoot us a comment to share with other Zing readers!

Audio: C-IED Schoolhouse Story 1 of 5
Audio by Rick Haverinen
The improvised explosive device is not new to warfare, but it has become a principal concern for U.S and partner nation forces operating in Iraq and Afghanistan. The U.S. Department of Defense has reacted to the IED in multiple ways, including the creation of the Joint IED Defeat Organization, or JIEDDO, (RHYMES WITH PIE-dough) which counters the IED threat with the creation and funding of strategies, equipment and programs such as Attack the Network, Train the Force and Defeat the Device. Rick Haverinen, (HAVE-rih-nen) a public affairs specialist at the U.S. Army Transportation School, has prepared a series of radio stories that focus on the U.S. military's training of service members to counter the IED threat. The next story in the series visits the U.S. Army's A-symmetric Warfare Office and the Mobile Counter-IED Interactive Trainer at Fort Bragg, N.C.

Suzanne Roberts Wins National Book Award

Roberts, who teaches in the Sierra Nevada College MFA program and also at Lake Tahoe Community College, took the 2012 prize in the literature category. The NOBA review said that "the dialog, the imagery, and the story are so well done and so absorbing that men and women of all generations will find it a satisfying and fulfilling literary treat." In 2008, National Geographic presented Roberts with the "Next Great Travel Writer" award. Almost Somewhere: Twenty-Eight Days on the John Muir Trail shows she has lived up to that promise.

IRVING, TX (February 4, 2013) – Every concrete pipe plant in North America is committed to producing quality products. But as in other industries, there's good, there's excellent and there's exceptional. The American Concrete Pipe Association (ACPA) established its Qcast Awards to recognize those plants that stand above the rest on the most important measures of production quality.
TheACPA's "Quality Cast" Plant Certification Program, commonly known as Qcast, is the recognized standard for quality assurance in the concrete pipe industry. The Qcast program covers the inspection of materials, finished products and handling/storage procedures, as well as performance testing and quality control documentation. Plants may be certified in storm sewer and culvert pipe, sanitary sewer, box culverts, three-sided structures, manholes and precast structures.
Plants in each of the certification categories that score 95% or better on their annual Qcast audit are recognized with the ACPA Qcast Awards. From these honorees, one overall winner is selected in each category.
The ACPA recognized its 2012 Qcast Awards winners during a special ceremony at its annual Pipe School held in Indianapolis last month. The overall winners are:
Langley Concrete Group
Chilliwack, BC, Canada
Combined Sanitary & Storm
Hanson Pipe & Precast
San Antonio, TX
Storm Sewer
Hancock Concrete Products, LLC
Cannon Falls, MN
Box Culvert
Cretex Concrete Products Midwest, Inc.
Shakopee, MN
Sanitary Manholes
Cretex Concrete Products Midwest, Inc.
Elk River, MN
Grand Junction Concrete Pipe Co.
Grand Junction, CO
"Every year at this time, we are reminded that North American concrete pipe companies are laser-focused on quality manufacturing, which, of course, is why our industry is able to compete so effectively in the marketplace," said Vince Bussio, ACPA Chairman of the Board, and President of Geneva Pipe Company. "It should be reassuring to every DOT, engineer, specifier and contractor to know that the concrete pipe they specify and install has met the most rigorous and comprehensive quality assurance criteria available."

EXCELLENT for what I call "level #2" migraines. My only desire would be an easier injection devise,perhaps one as simple as a lovenox injection. Imitrex is not simple to use and has SO MUCH waste of plastic for the landfill!!!!!

Land-mined talent
Music | New albums from Jay-Z and Kanye West feature sonic trailblazers trending in cultural destruction
Does anyone remember Robert Mapplethorpe? He was the photographer who posthumously made federally funded obscenity a hot topic when a museum presented a display of his work in the early 1990s.
The display featured homoerotic photos, the kind that would've previously been sequestered in society's darkest corners. So the public could know what the fuss was about, they were reproduced in magazines available at checkout counters. Suddenly, the taboo had gone mainstream.
That watershed is helpful to understand why the latest hip-hop albums by Kanye West and Jay-Z, Yeezus (Def Jam), and Magna Carta... Holy Grail (Roc Nation/Virgin EMI), respectively, have become two of this year's bestsellers.
Mapplethorpe's defenders championed his aesthetics—the way he used lights and darks to create powerful effects and so on. The subject matter, which remains too perverted to describe, was not an issue.
Something similar has occurred with West and Jay-Z. Sonically, they're trailblazers, layering beats and hooks with an electronic sophistication that will provide musicians and producers with templates long into the future. The attitudes they're expressing, however, once would've gotten their mouths washed out with soap.
Those attitudes are not without interest. Somewhere in the seemingly bottomless pit of West's and Jay-Z's anger and self-regard lie clues to nearly every dysfunction currently hastening Western civilization's decline and fall. Yet despite a practically Joycean array of "shout-outs" that include fellow pop stars (Nirvana, R.E.M.), the Bible, Kubrick films (Jay-Z), or the very "zeitgeist" itself (West), the road the clues map is so land-mined with profanity, vulgarity, obscenity, and blasphemy that to travel it is to risk one's sanity.
Quoting the lyrics is pointless. Suffice it to say that were it not for overdeployed rhythmic grunts and what George Carlin once called the "dirty words you can't say on TV," neither West nor Jay-Z could easily get from one of their quick-edit thoughts to another. Compared to their latest songs, toilet-stall poetry is the Norton Anthology of Romantic Verse.
Gavin McInnes has quoted the TV producer Charlie Corwin as saying, "Tattoos used to mean 'Get away from me.' Now they mean 'Ask me about my tattoo.'" To the extent that profanity is to language what tattoos are to the temple of the Holy Spirit, a similar shift has occurred regarding pop lyrics: What was once spoken in closets lest it offend is now proclaimed upon housetops lest it lack mass-marketable street cred. Rappers are prime players in this degradation of the gift of speech.
That such stuff sells is to be expected, but that critics acclaim it is confounding. If only the praise were written by journalists too young to know better, one could at least hope they'd mature.
Enter Lou Reed, the 71-year-old rock poet who in the 1960s rode Andy Warhol's pop-art coattails to a rock superstardom he still enjoys. In July, fresh from a life-threatening liver transplant, he took the unusual step of reviewing West's Yeezus at TheTalkHouse.com.
Echoing Mapplethorpe's admirers, Reed devoted his 1,800 words to defending West largely in terms of his technical achievements. "[T]he guy really, really, really is talented," he wrote. "He's really trying to raise the bar. No one's near doing what he's doing."
"If you like sound," he concluded, "listen to what he's giving you. Majestic and inspiring."
"Inspiring"? Perhaps. After all, that which inspires anyone to do anything can be called "inspiring."
But "majestic"? Kings still in their graves are undoubtedly rolling over.

Bored To Death
Bored To Death is an arcade style brawler intended as a throw back to arcade games of the past and powered by JavaScript and HTML5. Developed in partnership between Internet Explorer and digital agency Bradley and Montgomery, the game was initially developed to be playable in an arcade machine running IE9 at Internet Explorer's Badger Palooza event at the 2012 SXSW Interactive festival.
The game's main characters, style and gameplay are based on Jason Steele's popular Marshmallow People online video series. An accelerated development timeline and goal of getting the game running in an arcade machine, as well as the organic style of Jason Steele's videos influenced many of the development decisions including the use of frameworks and large sprites. Despite the goal of getting the game up and running in an arcade machine running IE9, Microsoft and Bradley and Montgomery wanted to focus on a web standards based approach, programming in a way that would work cross-browser. The end goal being to create a game using only web standards that players would want to come back to over and over again.

If most people were to choose one word to sum up workstation computers, it would be "unique." Back in the 1980s, when computers were either mammoth mainframes and minis or low-powered PCs, workstation computers were in a class of their own: high-powered, yet reasonably affordable, using one-of-a-kind RISC microprocessors and the arcane UNIX operating system. The joke was that users needed a Ph.D. to operate a workstation computer and, not surprisingly, the science and academic community became its primary user.
But the power and performance of workstations also helped state and local governments, particularly in the area of geographic information systems (GIS). Only workstations could provide the processing power and multitasking capability needed to analyze large amounts of geo-coded data, as well as
to display and redraw electronic
maps quickly.
Today, however, what made workstations unique no longer matters. RISC technology can be found in Apple and other brands of low-cost desktop computers, while Intel's Pentium Pro microprocessor has boosted the power and performance of PCs to equal that
of low-end workstations. These improvements have allowed software applications that were once the exclusive domain of workstations to migrate over to Windows-based computers. And UNIX, which was once praised for its networking strength, has now been nearly equaled by Windows NT, Microsoft's corporate operating system.
But workstation vendors are not about to throw in the towel. The hardware and UNIX software they produce are still preferred by many organizations for use as servers in applications that require lots of horsepower. Workstations now offer 64-bit processing as well as multiprocessing capabilities. They also have found a new life on the Internet, where the lingua franca is UNIX (just look at those 30- and 40-letter URL addresses), and TCP/IP, the Net's communications protocol, is an inherent part of the UNIX operating system, not an add-on.
State and local governments are also finding that workstations still serve a purpose. Some of the more sophisticated GIS applications require the power and performance of a workstation. Certain kinds of business applications, such as finance, are also relying on workstations for crunching large amounts of numeric data.
But the biggest reason today's state and local government market still needs workstations is the growth in visual computing. Government agencies are creating and manipulating computerized images and graphics as never before. For example, fingerprint matching is no longer just a function of law enforcement. A fast-growing number of state welfare agencies now use fingerprint matching to verify the identity of aid recipients. Computer-aided design, document management, forensic evidence, traffic-flow management, computer-aided dispatch -- the list goes on and on with government applications that have become heavily reliant on the manipulation of data, visual information and, in some cases, three-dimensional graphics.
Five vendors dominate the workstation market: Sun Microsystems, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Silicon Graphics and Digital Equipment Corp. In 1994, they shipped 86 percent of all workstations and earned 87 percent of all revenue, according to Dataquest Inc. Other players include: Intergraph, Motorola, Unisys, Control Data and Data General.
Back in 1992, Digital introduced the first 64-bit microprocessor, the Alpha, for the workstation market. Today, industry leaders Sun and Hewlett-Packard have also unveiled their versions of 64-bit RISC microprocessors. These high-speed machines are helping to expand the realm of visual computing, creating new applications in the field of computer-aided design, science, defense, technical publishing and GIS.
According to Jack Sweeney, marketing manager for Hewlett-Packard's state and local government program, GIS has been the traditional government application for workstation computers. "Today, however, that's changing," he said. For instance, California's Department of Transportation is using HP workstations to redesign bridges and other types of transportation infrastructure to make them earthquake-proof. Los Angeles uses HP workstations to manage traffic on its mammoth system of highways. The workstations process information coming in from

Can I wear invisible hearing aids?
The shape and degree of your hearing loss will determine which styles may work best for you, with smaller models generally suited for less significant losses and larger styles suited for any degree of hearing loss, including severe and profound. In recent years, many new styles have emerged that are not noticeable when worn. In addition to small, hidden hearing aids, there are new bold colors and stylish designs such as leopard print and polka dots. Rather than try to hide your hearing aids, you just may be tempted to show them off!
Which hearing aid(s) would work best for you needs to be determined by an audiologist or hearing instrument specialist, after a comprehensive hearing evaluation. There is often more than one option available for each person.

But that also affects the whole notion of planning your team for next season and trying to obtain keepers to make your team better for the future.
Maybe a better idea as well as dropping the amount of keepers to 3, is to reverse the draft order so that the last place team gets 1st overall pick and so forth. This will help the league be more competitive and probably prevent guys like RF being 1st place year after year. Just a thought.
Think your missing the point a bit. The bottom three will be in the 'hot seat' not necessarily cut from the league. If your active you'll never get cut.
Think the rule is more for nonactive managers.
