Final Stats
MUNCIE, Ind. - The Northern Illinois women's basketball team played with fire offensively and defensively as it shot .412 from the field (21-of-51) and created 15 turnovers, but Ball State (13-15, 8-9 MAC) was 11-of-26 behind the three-point line to defeat the Huskies (9-18, 5-12 MAC) at Worthen Arena, 67-57.Three different NIU players reached double-figures with Jenna Thorp (Hinckley, Ill./Hinckley-Big Rock) pacing the squad with 14 points. Danny Pulliam (Indianapolis, Ind./Pike) and Jazmine Harris (West Allis, Wis./Heritage Christian) also went over the 10-point mark as they scored 12 and 10, respectively. The Huskies also out rebounded the Cardinals, 34-25. Ball State's Brittany Carter led the game with 23 points, shooting 8-of-12 from the field and 6-of-10 from behind the arc. "I felt like we played so hard. I credit this team because we don't quit and we keep fighting," said Head Coach Kathi Bennett, "we had opportunity after opportunity but the unforced turnovers and not taking open shots hurt us. We're right there defensively and we're playing extremely hard. Outside of one fast break by Ball State, where we weren't matched up, (Ball State) shot lights out in this game. We have to give them credit tonight."Each team traded runs to increase spreads and close up the gaps throughout the game, which ultimately told the tale of the game. The Huskies were the games aggressor in the opening nine minutes as they led for most of that time, leading by as much as four points. BSU overtook the Huskies with 10:19 remaining in the period, jumping out to a seven point lead only a minute later, 17-10. Northern Illinois battled back to within one point three times in the final nine minutes of the game, but another 7-0 run by the Cardinals in the closing minute put Ball State on top of Northern Illinois at halftime, 35-27. Cardinal Brandy Woody sunk a layup at the buzzer sounded to close the stanza and increase BSU's lead.Harris and Thorp were a force for the Huskies as they accounted for 10 and nine points in the half, respectively. Thorp did not miss a single shot taken from the field as she was 4-for-4, including 1-of-1 from behind the three-point line. Harris closed the period 3-of-6 from the field and 4-of-6 from the charity stripe, including four in a row.A three-pointer by Carter put BSU up by 11 points 11 ticks into the second half. However, home state players Ally Lehman (Nineveh, Ind./Indian Creek) and Pulliam nailed back-to-back layups and a trey to lift NIU back within two points with 16:01 remaining, 40-38.BSU tried to pull away from NIU over the next three minutes but Northern Illinois again brought it back to within three with 13:17 left, 45-42, on a layup by the Huskies third Hoosier State starter, Amanda Corral (Hobart, Ind./Hobart).The Cardinals built a 15 point lead in the frame and carried a double digit lead until NIU began to mount a final charge with 2:14 left. At that time, Thorp hit two free throws and her second three-point basket 33 seconds later to bring the Huskies back within eight points.Northern Illinois was 11-for-14 (.786) from the free throw line, 21-for-51 (.412) from the field in the contest and was +9 in rebounds on the Cardinals with a 34-25 mark.The Huskies, currently in ninth place in the Mid-American Conference standings, will close the regular season Saturday, March 8 against Western Michigan in the first game of a doubleheader at the NIU Convocation Center. Tipoff between the Huskies and the Broncos will begin at 1 p.m.

Mutating Triggers
Date: Mon, 20 Sep 2010 18:14:18 -0700 (PDT)
Message-ID: <4f3c1516-eba6-4ee7-9e7e-43d2369d7674_at_u13g2000vbo.googlegroups.com>
I've read a bunch of this but not 100% how to implement it. We are on 10gR2.
We've an customer order table. When a given product is ordered we need to set all other products in that customer account to a given status. We also need to save the existing order status in a different column so we have it when we are ready to revert the orders back.
We have 2 procedures: SUSPEND_ORDER & RESTORE_ORDER. Procedures that select the data and store it in another column of the same table, or restore the original column with the saved value. This will throw an error as we are running into that mutating table error.
Basic logic is: They order product X, for all other orders in their account, save their status in column A and set those orders to a Cancelled status.
When product X completes, take all the saved data from column A and restore the status of those original orders.
So, with all this logic, how to avoid the mutating table error? This is a lot of code so I do not want to put it all into a trigger. I'd rather call the procedure as who knows, in the future we may use that code elsewhere.
Does any of this make sense? Received on Mon Sep 20 2010 - 20:14:18 CDT

And then there is the one that says Plugin Home located on the same page under "Basic Information".
Thanks for the update.
I got used to seeing the links in the right hand column, and didn't realize that the links are elsewhere.
I've done the same thing myself. I also got used to seeing them in the right side column before the change.

Birth Place: Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Born in Baltimore, MD in 1965, he was the son of noted neuroscientist Leslie Weiner (pronounced WHY-ner) and his wife Judith, a law school graduate who raised Weiner and his three siblings. By the relatively few accounts of his childhood, Weiner's parents strove to educate their children about the finer aspects of the arts, including classic movies, literature and opera. While attending the Harvard-Westlake school in Los Angeles, Weiner developed a fascination for American history, with a particular focus on the 1950s, though he admitted in an interview that part of his reason for cultivating this interest was to find a common ground on which to communicate with his parents.

Celebrity, Filmmaker, Grandmother: Agnes Varda
by Andrea Meyer
Agnes Varda, the filmmaker known as the Grandmother of the French New
Wave, has been making films for more than 40 years. She began as a still
photographer working primarily in the theater, and then -- with no film
school education, no production experience, and no particular love of
cinema -- she threw herself into making films. She completed her first
feature "La Pointe Courte" in 1954. Alain Resnais edited and Felippe
Noiret starred. Guerilla fashion, nobody got paid, and everyone had a
great time. A new wave of filmmaking was born that would not have a name
for years, and Varda went on to rock the film world with ground-breaking
works like "Cleo from 5 to 7," "Le Bonheur," and "Vagabond."
In 1994, on the occasion of the French "100 Years of Cinema"
festivities, Varda completed a film called "101 Nights," about a
100-year-old man named Mr. Cinema (Michel Piccoli) who does nothing but
sit around with his old movie star friends and gab about movies, until
the day he hires a pretty, young film student (Julie Gayet) to sit
around with him and gab about movies. The kooky comedy features a parade
of celebs from Deneuve to De Niro to Belmondo, as well as Varda's son,
Matthieu Demy, who also plays the lead in another film opening this week
"Jeanne and the Perfect Guy," directed by Olivier Ducastel and Jacques
Martineau, a musical in the tradition of his father, deceased director
Jacques Demy ("The Umbrellas of Cherbourg"). Varda spoke with indieWIRE
when she was in New York promoting her son's film and her own. "101
Nights" and "Jeanne and the Perfect Guy" are currently playing in New
York and open soon in Los Angeles.
indieWIRE: Tell me about "101 Nights" in the context of your other
Agnes Varda: The film is a comedy, which I have not done so far -- not
very seriously -- but the whole thing was an opportunity to make some
references to films I love and to have visitors, because on a first
level, cinema is about stars. Whatever we love -- the auteur theory, the
directors -- what people see is faces on the screen. So, I asked a lot
of stars to come, and they came. I could convince Gerard Depardieu. I
gave him his first part when he was seventeen, in a film we never
finished. People said "that guy has no future." I think I convinced De
Niro because of Catherine Deneuve and Deneuve because of De Niro. Both
were excited to work together. He's very charming. He's not like usual
mafia killing type. I convinced the old timers, Gina Lollobrigida and
Jean-Paul Belmondo and Hanna Schygulla, and they all came. And I
convinced Alain Delon. He had said "no" at first, but when he heard that
Belmondo had come and De Niro had come, he said, "Hey, I shouldn't missw
this thing" -- and he came with his own helicopter. It was funny.
iW: It seems like the film was really about celebrating the films that
you love.
Varda: Not in a very systematic way. Some critics criticized me, saying
"oh, you forgot this beautiful film or you forgot the Russian cinema or
you forgot this or that." Okay, I forgot, but it's like in an evening;
you speak with people. You don't discuss the whole world. You discuss
what you discuss. Like memory, sometimes you remember stupid things and
forget big things. The memory's capricious. So, it's incomplete, but it
gives certain clues, certain glances to some films we love. We have to
take it like it is -- a fantasy. The critics think I'm better with
serious films, like "Vagabond" or "Jacquot de Nantes." People love
"Jacquot," and they love "Vagabond." It's like, because I do those
films, that's what I should do all the time. But I say let me have a
little fun once in awhile.
iW: Do you think it's primarily an entertainment for cinephiles?
Varda: It's about loving movies, but you don't have to love movies. If
Mr. Cinema speaks with a cow, well, he's just speaking with a cow. But
the cow on the bed is something in Buñuel's "L'Age d'Or." If you don't
know that, there is a cow on the bed. You don't have to know that he's
speaking with Buñuel.
iW: Let's talk about your role in the French New Wave.
Varda: I've been called the Grandmother of the New Wave, because my
first feature I made in '54, five years before the New Wave, and I
already had the freedom and the principles that they had. I hadn't met
with the Cahiers du Cinema. I never had any training. I wasn't a
cinebuff like they were. I wasn't a film critic. So, they called me the
Grandmother, because I started it, almost. There was a critic who said I
was the first "son de cloche d'un immense carillon." It's a beautiful
sentence. It's the first bell sound of a huge bell concert. The immense
carillon is the fifty films of the New Wave.
iW: And what do you think has happened to cinema since the New Wave?
Varda: Many waves, more or less interesting, recently including many
women. We have at least 20 women directors having films in the big
theaters, normal distribution. Nobody even says, "well, it's okay. For a
women." That's finished. They never said it for me either, because I was
so strong in my position and dedicated to my work. I would never accept
the slightest something related to being a woman or not. I was a
iW: What about Hollywood?
Varda: I think Hollywood makes good films. I think cinema has to exist
with different kinds of films and there's nothing to discuss with this
kind is good, this kind is not good. We choose where we go. Maybe I
wouldn't be able to do "Titanic," maybe I would. Technically, I would,
but I'm not sure I would do it like this. To start with, I think it's
un-type casting, because DeCaprio looks so elegant, so classy, and the
girl looks so peasant, so popular. She's supposed to be sort of a Vivian
Leigh type, Grace Kelly, and he's supposed to be more ordinary. But here
it's reverse casting. But I like the film, and they act very well. You
know we had DeCaprio visit Mr. Cinema? We filmed him, but I cut it!
iW: What do you think of your filmmaking career overall?
Varda: I've made very few films, if you think about a filmmaker like
Chabrol, who makes one film a year, or Christian Jacques, who made 100
films in his life. But I still have difficulties to find money, and I
don't think I can be inspired that fast. I need to reload my own. . .
not even energy, but sensitivity. And then life. I tried to do something
which was a dream-not dropping one life to have another one, like having
a family. When I met Jacques Demy, we spent time together -- we
traveled, we raised the kids, we tried to keep something outside of
movies. Even though we spoke about movies all the time. Spending time at
the ocean was part of life. And now I have three grandchildren, and I
have to give them some time. So, you don't do movies like a machine.
iW: What have you done that you love?
Varda: I've done three or four not too bad. I think "Cleo from 5 to 7"
is okay. I think "Jacquot" is okay and "Vagabond." There's one I love a
lot called "Documenteur," which had a nice title in English, "Emotion
Picture." I like some shorts I've made that no one's seen. And my kids
are okay, my grandchildren. Jacques is gone, which I don't like so much.
iW: Do you consider yourself a star?
Varda: People who have known me don't forget my films, and other people
don't know me at all. I'm not well-known, I'm bizarrely half-known. I'm
more loved than well-known.

Bureau International des Expositions
34 Avenue d'lena
To the selection committee of the World Expo 2020,
Dubai have officially submitted their bid to hold the World Expo in 2020 under the banner 'connecting minds, creating the future'. The bid is predicated on the belief that we live in an increasingly interconnected world and progress relies upon interaction and cooperation between individuals worldwide.
Sadly, although the UAE have made dramatic and impressive progress economically since independence in 1971, recent developments in freedoms of speech and association have been regressive.
The past year has seen the detention of sixty-three peaceful political reformists. Human rights lawyers, judges and student leaders have been detained for their advocating of greater democratic accountability in the UAE. The rule of law has not been applied to those detained, with some now entering their tenth month of detention. Those held have been denied regular family visitation, refused the right to have access to legal representation and are yet to have been charged or brought to trial. Of most concern are the allegations of torture and enforced disappearance against detainees, made by Human Rights Watch in September.
Many of those held are members of one of the UAE's oldest civil society organizations, al-Islah. Islah was established in 1974, just three years after independence, and has been active in the educational and charitable sectors for nearly forty years.
Islah has supported calls for the Federal National Council to be wholly elected by universal suffrage and for it to possess full jurisdiction over the law making process. Other civil society organisations including the Jurists' Association and Teachers' Association have supported such calls. As a result, the authorities have dismissed boards, detained members and severely restricted the independent operating of civil society groups. These actions have not been limited to domestic groups, with the offices of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, a German pro-democracy think-tank, and the National Democratic Institute having been forcibly closed in 2011.
The Bureau International des Expositions website states that participants of the expo include civil society organisations and citizens. Civil society organistions in the UAE are unable to operate freely and independently. Citizens experience some of the region's severest restrictions on freedom of speech and association.
These restrictions have tightened after the announcement of a new Cybercrimes Law that came into being on August 27th, placing severe restrictions on the Internet and telecommunications.
The law states that fines of up to 1 million dirhams could be applied to those who advocate for a change in the system of governance and Emiratis are banned from providing information to independent journalists and human rights organisations.
In a country that already has some of the region's severest restrictions on freedom of speech, this law is a clear attempt to close the Internet as the last avenue of free expression.
In addition, the law stipulates fines of up to 1 million dirhams and five years in prison for those who promote the ideas of an 'unlawful group'. For those who arrange demonstrations without permission from the authorities there is a 500,000 dirham fine.
This is a clear attack on freedom of association and is part of a coordinated attempt by authorities to stifle any calls for alterations to the UAE's autocratic governance system.
This law comes as families of the sixty-three detainees have begun to gather at the Supreme Court, demanding that their loved ones be put on trial or released.
Furthermore, the Expo 2020 Dubai website states that construction of the venue for the exhibition will take place on a 438 hectare site on the southwestern edge of Dubai. The proposed legacy of the expo will be a magnificent complex where people can come together, but the hands that will build it should be remembered too.
The UAE has a terrible record concerning the rights of migrant workers, many of who work in the construction industry. The Kafala sponsorship system has been likened to modern day slavery by human rights bodies. High recruitment fees paid by employees contribute to a system categorized by abuse: confiscation of passports, false contracts and dire working conditions are all commonplace. In consideration of the UAE's bid, their record on migrant workers' rights should be taken into careful consideration.
The UAE bid for Expo 2020 speaks of creativity and interconnectivity but seeks to stifle such ideas for its citizens. The Expo should be a celebration of human achievement and provide a forum to explore innovative solutions to the challenges we face in a localized world; the UAE's approach to civil and political rights is oppressive and not indicative of these values.
The UAE should not be awarded the prestige of hosting World Expo 2020 whilst it continues to restrict freedoms of speech and association with oppressive law, brutal treatment of political dissent and widespread abuse of migrant workers.
Synonymous with creativity, innovation and freedom, the World Expo 2020 should embrace and further these values rather than validating a regime that continues to abuse them.
The European Parliament expressed deep concerns about the human rights record of the UAE in a resolution recently; we urge you to take these considerations seriously and impress upon those bidding from the UAE that selection to host the World Expo in 2020 is about upholding and furthering shared values.
Yours faithfully,
Emirates Centre for Human Rights

Hickory Ridge Concert Series: Tom Irwin Returns to Hickory Ridge
Irwin discovered the notebooks tucked away in a pie-tin cabinet in the family farm home in 2006 and began composing songs as a master's project for graduate studies at University of Illinois Springfield in 2008.
Each song is based on a actual entry from the diary, be it an exciting visit to Chicago's 1893 Columbian Exposition in Hurrah for the World's Fair, the death of a schoolteacher in Nellie Manchester presented as a waltz with twin mandolins, a ragtime-like ode to lazy days in Doing Nothing, a look at time's passing driven by a strings and flute section during Moonlight Now or Corn to Shuck, a Roger Miller-esque romp about the glories of shucking corn.
One of our Hickory Ridge Concert Series

Sign up for Office 365
Learn more about Office 365
We have a number of licenses to Professional Plus and a number of P1 licenses. Does Professional Plus need to be tagged onto a P1 license or can it be stand-alone?
Thanks for the feedback.
Hi Jonnix,
Based on the article below, you can purchase Office Professional Plus as a standalone plan or included as part of Office 365. But Small business plan (P1) users will need to create a separate Office 365 account in order to buy Office Professional Plus as an annual subscription. So you can just rid of all licenses and just put everyone on office professional plus.
For more information, you may contact our sales and billing support.
Best regards,
Alex Du
You could leave it stand alone if you wanted. So if maybe you have a workers who needs no e-mail or access to sharepoint, they could use a OPP licennse just to produce documents, then perhaps if needed someone else could file them on sharepoint.
Thanks Robert. So if we no longer needed to have email or Sharepoint through Office 365 licenses but wanted the most up-to-date versions of office we could get rid of all our 365 licences and just put everyone on OPP?

Amy Adams Plans To Wed
By Mack Rawden 8 years ago
Auburn-haired hottie Amy Adams has gotten engaged to her boyfriend of six years, struggling actor Darren Le Gallo. The two met in acting classes way back in the day. He reportedly wooed her with a beautiful diamond from famed Beverly Hills jeweler Jean Dousset, and well, she said yes. How cute.
According to USA Today, the two plan to exchange vows sometime next year but have yet to announce a hard-and-fast date. Speaking about her boyfriend, the Enchanted star told Americas paper, Its really important to have someone to remind you who you are. Yeah, thats probably a quality up there on the things to look for list.
Note to young Hollywood: this is how youre supposed to get engaged. Date someone for a long period of time (see years) and get married on your own timetable. Dont force yourself into a shotgun wedding because you forgot to take your birth control for a few days.

The all new Range Rover had its premiere at the 2012 Paris Auto Show and introduced some significant changes compared to previous generations. One major change is the implementation of a V6 diesel engine as an addition to the V8 featured on its predecessors, as well as the aluminum unibody structure.
Starting at the exterior, the monocoque structure made from lightweight aluminum provides for a much lighter vehicle, weighing as much as 1,000 pounds less then previous models, which also helps get a better fuel efficiency. This large SUV features xenon headlamps, LED taillights, heated windscreen, and rain sensing windscreen wipers.
Going on the more meaningful side of the Range Rover, this 4-wheel-drive all-terrain vehicle comes with three types of engines, two diesel and one petrol. There is a 5.0-liter V8 petrol engine, one 3.0-liter V6 diesel and a 4.4-liter V8 diesel. The V8 petrol engine provides 375 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque. The V6 diesel is able to produce 256 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque, and the V8 diesel puts out 339 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. It can get from 0-60 mph in 7.4 seconds, with a top speed of 140 mph. There is 8-speed automatic transmission, with electronic power assisted steering and cornering brake control as some of the more meaningful features catering to a good stability and traction control.
The interior is very spacious and comfortable with the instrument panel and seats covered in high-quality leather. There is an 8-inch touchscreen and a Meridian Audio System with 13 loudspeakers and a dual channel subwoofer, as well as a hard disk drive navigation system.
With all these amazing features both on inside and outside, you could say that the latest Range Rover is one of the best ones designed so far, if not the best one. It packs a great amount of power under the hood, offers a roomy and luxurious interior, has top-notch safety features and provides a nice and stable ride on all-surfaces.
Author's bio: Jordan Perch is a blogger who is an active promoter of the new developments in the automotive industry. He is an author of many how-to articles related to the DMV, driver safety, automotive trends, etc. He is currently managing the blog of the resourceful DMV.com.

Clinton will arrive in Israel on
Saturday while Schwarzenegger is set to land in the Jewish State on Sunday aboard his private jet.
Members of the forum will be visiting Ramallah on Sunday and are scheduled to meet with Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. Sessions will conclude on Monday.
The Saban Forum is the initiative of Israeli-American communications tycoon Haim Saban, who founded the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institute in Washington.
The forum convenes alternately in Jerusalem and Washington and serves as a platform for dialogue between Israeli and American senior officials.
Saban said he hoped the dialogue would help in strengthening bilateral ties between the two countries.
Jerusalem's King David hotel will host some of the forum's participants, including Clinton, Schwarzenegger, US Senator Joe Lieberman, former US Ambassador to Israel Martin Indyk and host Haim Saban.
Forum organizers have secured 200 hotel rooms and 15 suites, including the presidential suite, to accommodate the visitors.

Famous athletes are more willing than ever to promote themselves by embarrassing themselves. Blake Griffin's mockery of his own tendency to endorse everything stands as the most obvious recent example, but Houston Rockets All-Star James Harden entered a new contender earlier this week with the release of "Harden Soul." In the 30-second spot for Foot Locker, Harden decides to cut a track of baby-making music based on the heels of his best season as a pro — the joke is that he's a horrible singer and totally full of himself. It's not an ad for Foot Locker's products as much as their brand, with the idea that they are hip enough to understand humor. It works because it really is quite funny.
Yet that short ad could not prepare us the insanity of the full 103-second "Harden Soul" track, released to YouTube on Wednesday. While the initial commercial prepared us for Harden's strained falsetto, there's something extra amazing about listening to it for this long, complete with faux-serious shots of Harden working in the studio (um, and several images of delicious shrimp).
The only question is if Harden sang this poorly on purpose or if it's his real singing voice. Can we have him sing "Feel the Heat" to find out?

P VAIDYANATHAN IYER: Why should people vote for the Congress-NCP alliance which has not taken care of basic needs like housing for a large section of Mumbais common public?
Given the lack of availability of land, Mumbais housing challenge is greater than any other citys in the country. In 1996 (when the Shiv Sena-BJP was in power), the government had promised people they would give them free houses, which incentivised them to come and live in slums. We attempted to rebuild the slums through redevelopment process. The Slum Rehabilitation Authority guidelines were faulty and involved giving a free house to relocate everybody in situ. Solving such a problem requires a huge political will, because the moment you touch anything like this, it is deemed as anti-poor or anti-slums. What I am trying to do now is bring in transparency and a level playing field, which till now was skewed, and allowing regulatory capture of the system. Secondly, the value that is locked in Mumbais land needs to be unlocked and come back into the governments coffers. We are contemplating a policy wherein the state acts as a developer and takes the excess money that is locked in land and also allows private contractors to build as per a design worked out by the state.
SHUBHANGI KHAPRE: How realistic is the government decision to extend the cut-off date on regularisation of slums?
The January 1, 1995, deadline was due to some poll decision. The government later promised to extend this to January 1, 2000. Instead of getting into whether the date was correct or not, I went by the fact that this was a commitment made by us not once but twice. There are concerns as to whether the move will cause further congestion. I think it wont. We are trying to convert single-storey hutments on an extremely costly piece of land into a multi-storey tower and the land will be free for commercial development.
P VAIDYANATHAN IYER: Many blame you for an overcautious approach on land issues.
The Supreme Court has issued guidelines after the Adarsh incident, wherein it has tied the hands of the government. Secondly, the Congress had given a call to do away with discretion. So, many discretionary land allotments were stopped. Moreover, after the RTI Act, every government official is cautious.

China on Thursday imposed an anti-dumping duty on Indian companies stating they were found to have dumped Tertiary Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) products in the Chinese market even as it said it would stop levying such duties on Phthalic Anhydride.
The anti-dumping duty of 49.8% on the TBHQ imports will begin on Friday and last five years, said the chinese commerce ministry. TBHQ can be used as antioxidant in cooking oil or as additives in the pharmaceutical and animal feed industries.
The commerce ministry's ruling came four months after it launched temporary anti-dumping measures against such imports from India, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
According to the ministry's year-long investigation, TBHQ imports from India have been dumped in the Chinese market and such imports have caused substantial damage to China's domestic industry.
However, the anti-dumping duties will not be retroactive to imports before. Earlier the ministry had said it will stop imposing anti-dumping duties on phthalic anhydride imported from India, South Korea and Japan from August 30.
The ministry said it has received no expiry review request from the Chinese industries to extend the anti-dumping duties that will expire on August 30 and it won't start an expiry review itself, Xinhua reported.
Phthalic anhydride is an important industrial chemical mainly used in the mass production of plasticizer for plastics.

Went from a 2003 Trek 7300 hybrid to a Cannondale Caad 10 5 w/clipless pedals.
I've got about 400 miles on the trek, and about 70 on the Cannondale now, so they're both fairly new.
My hopes in buying a road bike was to increase my average speed and just generally have more fun in the street.
The rub is: I'm a lot slower on the Cannondale. I find my cruising speed is about 10mph on the road bike, and 13mph on the hybrid. That's just where I "feel comfortable."
Putting a little effort into it, my average speed over several rides on the Cannondale is about 11-12 mph. On the heavy hybrid I'm at 12.5-13.5 mph.
The fastest I can go, until my legs don't go anymore, is about 26 on the Trek, and about 23 on the Cannondale.
(This is all checked by GPS.)
I thought fixing the seat height would help. There's ONE sweet spot that doesn't bother my knee arthritis which I've now found on both bikes.
I like to ride in the drops almost exclusively on the Cannondale. Riding on the hoods is terrifying if I need to brake in a hurry. I found the only way to stop the bike without scheduling in advance is from the drop position.
I have extremely tight hamstrings. Maybe that's the problem? Maybe I just don't know how to pedal? I try pushing forward, pulling back, all that in the pedal stroke.

BeeBoy Honey
Pittsburgh, PA
I grew up in Pittsburgh's northern suburbs. Though the area has since changed, I learned early on to enjoy and appreciate open spaces and forests. My family taught me to enjoy the natural world around me in myriad way and encouraged me to learn from my surroundings. I never expected, however, to be involved in food production or agriculture.
I've been living in the city of Pittsburgh since 2004, an area with a surprising environmental culture and landscape. Now a part of a rapidly increasing market for responsible food products - an alternative to the big commercial food industry - I'm finding people responsive to passion and quality.
I became involved in urban beekeeping several years ago, taking it on as a hobby for my own interest and the pollination of local flora. New information about the global honeybee crises impressed on me the importance of responsible beekeeping practices.
Over time my expansion provided me with a surplus of honey, which I've been selling to restaurants and individuals for the past two years. I'm lucky to have extremely loyal and supportive customers. Though I dreamed of becoming a profitable beekeeper, I was happy to stay at the hobby level. But the reaction to my product and practices has made it clear there is a rapidly growing market for what I'm doing.
The informed food culture is burgeoning here, and there's an encouraging demand for my local honey. But right now I'm not able to provide nearly enough honey for my customers, current or potential. I know I'm doing a good thing with my honeybees and honey, and I want to continue to do it on a larger scale. The slow growth of beehives and limited funds have kept me on a small scale, which allowed me to learn and grow confident in my own abilities. It took a few years to figure out how to work my way around a beehive because it's a complicated place with tens of thousands of inhabitants. I can handle the labor and distribution now but lack the funds for a large expansion.
Given the widespread sale of low-quality or adulterated honey and questionable beekeeping practices, I'm proud of my respectful treatment of my honeybees and their honey. I avoid chemical treatments and do not heat, filter, or alter the honey; this makes a pure, beautiful product of remarkable quality sold within walking distance of the beehives.
Over the past two years I've reinvested profit toward necessary equipment purchases to provide the backbone for beekeeping, harvesting, extraction, and bottling operations.
At this point, I mostly need to buy immature and mature beehives to increase honey production and satisfy more of my market. New beehives don't reliably product a harvestable surplus of honey until the second year, so growth has been slow. But with this loan I can buy producing hives, allowing me to harvest and sell this year. Mature hives cost around $300-400 and can produce honey worth $1000-2500 per year. Obviously there are many environmental variables, but I'm been learning for years how to keep the honeybees happy and healthy and have not lost a hive yet. Many customers are patiently waiting for me to grow. I'm working on it.
I will use a portion of this loan to set up an accounting system so I can formalize my business structure. Also I will buy bottles and labels for the physical product.
This loan would allow me to push my favorite activity and dream job toward being my "real job". With the harvest and sale of a few more hives, I could repay this loan and continue to expand subsequent years. Eventually I want this to be how I make a living. I would be the happiest beekeeper.
More than 5 years
I have known Randy since elementry school, we also were Boy Scouts together.
Randy is motivated to make the business work. I own the nursery where some of the hives are located and I can attest to Randys work ethic in regards to beekeeping
Bee Keeping is a low cost startup cost business and a small amount of money i.e 5K can get Randy going because the returns on hives, bees etc... is very high. Demand for the honey is good and if Randy stays on course he will easily be able to pay back the money from what I can tell.
A loan of $5,000 helps me to purchase more beehives, allowing me to satisfy the growing demand for my product.

My "tale of two states" story on Sunday, which looked at how the Affordable Care Act is playing out among the working poor in Kentucky and Indiana,has been inspiring lots of reader response.
The story examined how Kentucky is expanding Medicaid as called for under the law, while Indiana is not. This leaves low-income residents in similar situations facing very different health care options depending upon which side of the Ohio River they live on.

Mike Pence wants to expand coverage in an alternate way using a program called the Healthy Indiana Plan, which he argues promotes personal responsibility by requiring recipients to contribute toward their care. But the federal government has not approved his proposal -- although it has allowed a one-year extension of the program, with some changes, including an income cutoff at the poverty level in 2014.
Several people called me yesterday to tell me about their own situations and describe how state government decisions affect real lives. One Southern Indiana woman, for example, said she cannot qualify for Medicaid or find affordable coverage in her state --even as she's watched friends in Kentucky earning the same low incomes sign up for expanded Medicaid through the state's health insurance exchange, kynect.
Readers have also been debating one another online. Here are a couple examples of comments:
* Elections have consequences, In Indiana, the poor suffer because of it. Unbelievable to me that a state gov't. would actively work to deny health coverage to it's own people; insane.
*Let's hope the federal government gives favorable consideration to Indiana Governor Mike Pence's "shared responsibility" proposal. I don't see a downside to the feds if they allowed this, and unlike Kentucky's plan, it wouldn't create a long-term budget hole for the state. Much of today's governmental innovation comes from the states, and this certainly looks like it's worth a try....
One reason this situation has arisen is that Medicaid is different in every state. Indiana happens to have a less-generous program than many other states. For example, a working, custodial parent can't earn more than 24 percent of the federal poverty level to qualify for traditional Medicaid there. That means a working mother with two children earning up to $4,687 a year would be eligible.
Another big part of the issue is how the ACA has played out. It was intended to expand Medicaid to all Americans earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, which is $15,856 for an individual in 2013. But the U.S. Supreme Court allowed states to choose whether or not to expand Medicaid. Half did; half didn't. Leaders in states that didn't argue it would cost too much.
So this has left millions of Americans in a "coverage gap" -- ineligible for Medicaid or subsidies on insurance exchanges (which are available to people earning 100-400 percent of the poverty level.) The nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation estimates that nearly 5 million poor, uninsured adults fall into this gap nationally -- including 181,930 in Indiana.
Kaiser also estimates that if Indiana expanded Medicaid as called for under the law, it could see its uninsured population drop by more than half.

Doctor's Name NOT revealed in Series 7 Finale?
According to a rumour in the Daily Star, fans will not actually learn the Doctor's name in the Series 7 finale. His "greatest secret" will be something else.
They state:
Rumour has it that although characters in the show will discover the secret, viewers will be kept in the dark as the name won't actually be broadcast or shown when it airs on Saturday, May 18.
A source said: "We may have to wait another 50 years to find out. Steven Moffat is a big tease."
But a "show spokeswoman" supposedly said: "We learn The Doctor's greatest secret but it will be a surprise whether we learn his real name."

This is probably not too surprising -- the IB driver gives back memory
to the process that didn't come from malloc or other traditional
memory allocators, and this can confuse bounds checkers, leading to
false positives.
In the upcoming v1.3 series, we added a whole pile of stuff to handle
these kinds of false positives when running under valgrind. Just
curious -- does the gcc bounds checking stuff give you the possibility
of saying "this memory is ok"? (valgrind does; we use it for IB-

I've noticed lately that when flying any FFX plane, that about halfway through the flight that the sound begins to pop and skip out especially when I switch views. My system is top notch with 1GB ram, Radeon 9700 video card, and 2.4Ghz processor. Every other plane works great, but only recently has this been going on.
Has anyone else had a similar problem or knows how to fix this?

How do I know if my or my loved one was the victim of a distracted driving?
The nature of the accident itself often establishes the carelessness of the at-fault driver necessary to prove negligence. For example, running a red light, failing to stop at a stop sign, weaving into other lanes, speeding and similar actions often speak for themselves in terms of proving the other driver negligently caused the motor vehicle accident that injured you or your loved one. Proving that the driver was distracted by her use of her cell phone will often take extra work and investigation, but given the preventable nature of such behavior is something we fight hard to do. Let our Sarastoa Car Accident Attorneys listen to the details of your accident and work to develop your case of distracted driving. Please contact us today to hear more about your rights.
Will filing a lawsuit against the distracted driver be necessary?
It is not always necessary to file a lawsuit against a driver who was using a cell phone to distraction while driving. The driver may, for example, actually admit to the use, or witnesses may attest to seeing the driver on the cell phone or texting while driving. In some instances, however, it may be necessary to file a lawsuit in order to establish such distractions. A lawsuit would compel the suspected distracted driver to answer questions regarding what else besides driving may have been going at the time the crash occurred. Producing the suspected drivers' cell phone usage records can also be compelled once litigation begins.
What should I do about insurance companies offering me money or trying to get information about the accident?
We recommend AGAINST talking with the insurance companies or signing any documents that they send you. You may be limiting your rights to compensation. In our experience, insurance companies seldom offer you an appropriate settlement. An insurance adjuster works to save the insurance company money, so regardless of how reasonable and pleasant the adjuster may seem, he is looking out for his company's best interests, not yours. In the case of distracted driving, the insurance company may be aware that its driver was texting while driving or using the cell phone and in an effort to avoid having that damaging information revealed, offer you a quick and seemingly reasonable settlement. Once a case is settled, further claims will nearly always be precluded.
Also consider that the full extent of your injuries may not be known for a while. Accordingly, determining a fair settlement value of your case cannot be done. The amount of recovery time varies from individual to individual; settling before you have fully recovered usually precludes further claims from being made. Your car accident lawyer can handle all of the insurance communication and carefully evaluate any offers to ensure you do not settle for less than you deserve.

As "green" as he likes to claim he is, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa missed his chance to lead the growing urban farming movement.
That honor belongs to First Lady Michelle Obama who last week gathered a group of students and began digging up the White House lawn to plan a vegetable garden — a symbolic step that harkens back to Eleanor Roosevelt planting a Victory Garden on the White House lawn during World War II.
California First Lady Maria Shriver quickly followed Mrs. Obama's lead and announced today she will join the urban farming fever and plant a vegetable garden in Capitol Park in Sacramento.
I have to admit I'm not exactly the most environmentally-sensitive guy in the world but I'm learning.
For months, my wife has been talking about digging up the front lawn and planting vegetables. It has something to do with not wasting water on something as pointless as grass, saving money on food and having fresh, healthy organic produce on the dinner table.
I didn't take it seriously but then I met Tezozomoc, head of the South Central Farmers movement who raised by consciousness.
The 14-acre community farm was bulldozed in 2006 by developer Ralph Horowitz to build a warehouse for clothing maker Forever 21, whose executives have donated $1.3 million to the mayor's various campaigns and fund-raising efforts.
Because of that connection. backers of the South Central Farm hold the mayor responsible for fumbling efforts to buy the land from Horowitz and preserve what was widely seen as a positive asset to the area, bringing people together in a healthy activity and serving as a center for community life.
The warehouse still isn't built and the fight goes on and Tezozomoc has started a farmers' cooperative and is growing organic produce for sale.
Then my friend Bob Singer got his own far-out ideas into my head about how we need to return to our agrarian roots to save the planet, how we need to become vegans, how we need to put people to work as owner-farmers in the absence of industry, and rebuild community life.
He introduced me to Duane Thorin and Evelyn Hansen and others who are at the forefront of the trend.
And he work Villaraigosa back in December with what seemed like a cockamamie plan to make him the volunteer head of a Commission on Urban Farming. When he didn't hear back, he sent his letter to the mayor to OpEdNews.com which published it.
"Is the city or the nation prepared for the social dislocation, economic despair and breakdown in law and order that could occur as the crisis worsens? Are there enough police, National Guard or military to keep order when millions of out of work, out of home and out of food?
"You as Mayor can steps to mitigate the chaos and possible anarchy now before it is too late. One activity that can have the most far-reaching effects in these times of crisis is Victory Farms as put forth by Eleanor Roosevelt during the Great Depression."
Well, he still hasn't heard back from Villaraigosa and probably never will what with the mayor wanting to put up warehouses and factories and skyscrapers on every bit of open space in the city, and wanting the DWP to install solar units on what little is left unpaved under a program that's supposed to let poor people buy shares.
Now that the First Ladies of the nation and state are aboard the urban farming movement perhaps the mayor's desire to hang out with them and their friends will get the best of him and he'll respond to Bob Singer or take the initiative himself.
His support would be nice but unnecessary. Urban farming is taking root because it makes sense. It conserves dwindling water supplies, makes little plots of land productive, reduces food bills, provides healthy produce free of salmonella and chemicals and gets people off the couch and in motion.
Personally, I'm ready to join the movement myself. Anybody got a back hoe to dig up my lawn?

Question by : Should America continue to enforce ineffective laws?
Guns laws have been largely ineffective at stopping gun violence. Many people argue that gun laws actually promote violence through the creation Gun Free Zones or registries. These people believe gun laws have not been enforced effectively, and we should therefore take the laws off the books.
Now replace "gun laws" with "immigration laws." Same logic?
Best answer:
Answer by No religion in this pub ™
The only difference between the two is that we haven"t actually tried to enforce immigration laws.
But I think the way to "fix" illegal immigration is by getting rid of the incentives that bring the people here, e.g. 14th amendment, guaranteed medical care, etc.
