We are not doing anything different in our schools this week. Safety and security is and always has been a priority in Walled Lake Schools.
We review our safety and security procedures regularly; and principals are reviewing procedures and processes with staff and students.
Although we have constant communication with the law enforcement departments that encompass our District, (Oakland County Sheriff's Department, the West Bloomfield, Novi, Walled Lake, Wixom, White Lake, Orchard Lake and Wolverine Police Departments), without us asking them, many of them have been at our schools this morning. We are so grateful to have exemplary relationships with all of them and we will continue to work with them to discuss safety.
We are reassuring any children that need to be reassured and using age-appropriate resources.
One of many possible causes of such a tragedy may be unstable individuals suffering from various mental illnesses.
We remain committed to being vigilant about safety; to review our safety procedures; to do whatever we can to ensure safety; but, at the same time, we do not want to scare, or cause undue concern to, our students and families by enacting new procedures/processes that are not recommended by our local law enforcement officials. We will continue to collaborate with our local law enforcement officials and each other.

How We Dress Now: An Oral History, Part IV
After accepting the job as president of Project, Tommy Fazio knew exactly what he had to do: "I wanted to make the concept of a trade show easy, comfortable, and as swift as possible." In his few months in the new role, he's managed to do just that. "This space flows — I'll tell you that. If you walk around, it just works. And even when nobody is here, the space looks absolutely beautiful," he says, speaking of the windowed location at Pier 92. And yes, comfort was clearly a necessity. He even brought in his own camouflaged Chesterfield chairs from his office to help decorate the space. Here, he shows us his on-site workspace — vodka bar included.
"This is our new location for Project NYC. Besides being a great space, it's really cool to see the ships coming in and out of the pier all day long. It never gets old. Plus, it's all about 'the flow' to me — and this spot definitely has it."

Dbforum 2006, in the past...
The database forum just finished. I am back in Malov Denmark - outside of Copenhagen - for the night to await my flight back home. The database forum was a neat event. I was a track leader - meaning I actually had some ongoing responsibilities during the conference. But that also meant I got to attend all of the sessions in my track, something I don't always get to do.
So, what will I miss about the dbforum? Not this guy, one Doug Burns:
He looks friendly enough, but looks can be deceiving :) All of these guys - definitely. I got to meet and "re-meet" a lot of people. I recognized some people from prior seminars and got to meet lots of new people I hadn't before:
I definitely will not miss these beds! The rooms were comfortable - but six people and one shower... Interesting in the morning:
I'll definitely miss the goats - not every conference has goats you know (it is true! believe it or not)
All in all, the housing was very nice, some 1,100 'cottages' all over the place. Lots of people around (besides the conference attendees). It was definitely fun (and don't let Jonathan Lewis know that I picked up a thing or two from his session)...
On the way out the door, I spied some artifacts from Mogens Oracle Museum, a copy of the Version 3 and Version 4 Oracle:
I picked up the documentation and was browsing through it, stumbled upon a chapter on the ORDER BY clause. Learned something new. I thought ORDER BY had always sorted NULLS to be "high" (big). Until 8.1.6 with analytics when they extended the ORDER BY to support NULLS FIRST and NULLS LAST so we could decide. But apparently in Versions 3 and 4, it was different:
It says there that NULLS always come first. And sure enough:
So, over time - things change. Hey, that was part of my presentation on Friday night. That is what makes "experts" wrong so many times. Because things change and what they think they know - just ain't so anymore.

Say it's 1960, you are 16, raised by Democrats and fascinated by politics. Because there is someone like John F. Kennedy running for president, you're also excited.
Unlike that old fogy Dwight D. Eisenhower, the current president, the candidate is young, witty, cultivated and articulate. He is a macho war hero who is talking about rectifying a missile gap with the Soviet Union, but he is also an idealist who wants to wake us up from the conformist, apathetic, great big yawn of a decade called the 1950s. He preaches a new frontier.
Clearly, Kennedy is better than "Tricky Dick" Nixon, that Republican cad, and the more you read about the issues, the more you think he is going to help America realize its specialness all over again. He gets elected; he seems to be doing a sound job
Then comes that day, three years later, when you are in college and see a bunch of guys on campus gathered around a car, listening to its radio. You walk over, ask what is up, and they say President Kennedy has been shot. Is he alive? They don't know.
You run to the dorm recreation room, where you find dozens already surrounding the TV set. You watch and there are all these announcements and reports from Dallas, and finally there is CBS anchor Walter Cronkite fighting back tears as he announces, "President Kennedy died at 1 p.m. Central Standard Time, 2 Eastern Standard Time, some 38 minutes ago."
The killing of Kennedy hits you hard, educates you, changes you. You had known in the abstract that hopes and assumptions can be turned upside down overnight, that the votes of millions and historical directions could be altered by a bullet, that someone important and admirable in your sense of things could vanish from this life with little warning. But here was the actuality and it made you ache.
Something else was to make me ache and affect my thinking as time passed, and that was the realization that John F. Kennedy was very little that he seemed to be.
Yes, as president, he started the Peace Corps, and that was splendid, if not major. He initiated work on the moon shot. The later landing was important for science, national pride and the human spirit. His economic measures made sense. But he was mostly lax on civil rights. He disastrously deepened our involvement in Vietnam. He was grotesquely incompetent in allowing the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba that helped prompt the Soviet Union's placement of missiles there.
Kennedy has received ludicrously large credit for the way he handled the resulting missile crisis that actually was badly mishandled and risked a nuclear exchange with the Soviet Union for the sake of politics. He was dishonest in not telling the public that the Soviets backed off because we agreed to remove our missiles from Turkey. And, by the way, the campaign business about the missile gap was phony, too.
Kennedy never should have run for president in the first place. An ABC News story on Robert Dallek's book, "An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy, 1917-1963," tells us that he suffered from four or five different ailments, was in near-constant pain that prevented him from moving about normally, and was regularly doped up on all kinds of drugs that included pain killers, stimulants and barbiturates.
Then there was his sexual behavior, which reached beyond wild to pathetic. Risking blackmail and other bad consequences, he apparently never slowed down for more than a few days from having sex with different women, including a Mafia moll. One story that makes you cringe is how he reputedly took shameful, degrading advantage of a 19-year-old college sophomore.
All of this is enough to render you a cynic, but cynicism makes you less alert to the good even as you become too quick to judge something or someone bad.
Fifty years after that horrifying assassination, the lesson I aim to keep in mind is instead to try to look past a politician's charisma, on the one hand, or a politician's klutziness, on the other, to what the person is really all about.

There is no question that if you train long enough as a runner, you will almost certainly develop some sort of overuse injury in your lower body. Whether it is Iliotibial Band Syndrome, plantar fasciitis, Achilles problems, or maybe piriformis syndrome, your legs take a lot of pounding as runners, and we are not always the best at learning to listen to our bodies when we get little warning signs that an injury may be coming. When an overuse injury does occur, it can be quite painful, debilitating, and frustrating.
One of the most frustrating parts of being injured is realizing the fitness you worked so hard to obtain may decrease or completely vanish if you do not do something to maintain your aerobic base. Indeed, the fear of losing fitness can be such a motivator to train again that runners are often unwilling to take time off or are tempted into resuming training too soon. When this happens, almost always the result is an injury that gets even worse or that lasts much longer than it should.
Perhaps the best way to steer clear of overuse injuries is to build some cross training into your weekly routine, every week. Cross training is not only for when you feel an injury coming on. If an injury does occur, you will already have a few "go to" activities you are proficient at, and you will be able to maintain much, if not all, of your aerobic fitness.
Clearly, there is no better option than running when it comes to building and maintaining running fitness. However, there are some great alternatives that come relatively close to the real thing. The best running alternatives are those that are most similar to the motion of running itself. Aerobic activities like swimming and rowing will help to maintain your aerobic fitness, but they are so unlike running in their movements as they are upper body dominant sports, not lower body dominant, like running.
Below are some choices for training through an injury:
Pool Running
Pool running is the most common alternative to normal running, and many professional runners practice pool running exclusively when injured. There are two types of pool running: deep water running, where the feet do not make contact with the bottom of the pool (thus no impact), and shallow water running (usually waist high), where the feet do make contact with the bottom of the pool. When deep water pool running, an individual will frequently wear a floatation vest that allows them to stay upright in the water in a more natural running position.
I believe shallow-water running is preferable because it enables the runner to better maintain the adaptations to the repetitive impact of normal running (but significantly lower impact compared to outside running or using a treadmill). This will reduce the risk that new injuries occur after the runner returns to normal outdoor running. However, because shallow pool running is a low-impact (versus a non-impact) activity, it may not be possible to be pain free for all types of overuse injuries, particularly plantar fasciitis and Achilles problems.
Steep Uphill Walking
A number of research articles published in the last decade have clearly demonstrated that the brain uses precisely the same motor pattern to run or walk briskly on steep gradients. Therefore, the way to think about this is that when you are walking on a very steep incline (at least 12%) from a motor nerve and muscle firing pattern perspective, running is the same as walking, and walking the same as running. Therefore, walking on a steep incline is a highly specific way to maintain running fitness. However, the impact force is greatly reduced compared with running, so steep uphill walking is possible with most injuries.
For many runners, the idea of merely walking on a treadmill is equivalent to a day off, and in no way do they think their fitness could be maintained. However, set the treadmill to 4.0 miles per hour, put the grade on at least 12%, and check your heart rate monitor. You will have little problem being in a heart rate zone that is necessary for fitness adaptations, and your impact will be very low.
The only limitation of steep uphill running is that like shallow water pool running, while it is a low impact activity, it is not a non-impact activity. Thus, it may not be done pain free with all injuries. For example, I would not advise someone with Achilles problems to engage in steep uphill walking.
Elliptical Training
The idea behind the many and varied elliptical trainers that now populate all fitness centers is that their motion mimics that of running with almost no impact whatsoever. Therefore, you are able to maintain running fitness and the running motion effectively.
Cycling may seem less running-specific compared to the other running alternatives mentioned, but there is no question it offers an alternative that is completely no impact and provides a break from the pounding of daily running. A number of high profile professional runners have incorporated cycling successfully into their training programs when injured, or simply as an effective way to cross train once per week. In 2004, while training for the New York City marathon, Meb Keflezighi relied a great deal on bike training to build and maintain fitness because of injury troubles. In that race he still finished second.
So incorporate these cross training techniques into your weekly routine or use them to train through a running injury. Best wishes for your continued training success!

Bucs ready to play non-NL Central opponent
BALTIMORE -- For the first time this season and after 26 games, the Pirates will play a team outside the NL Central. Pittsburgh plays a two-game series in Baltimore against the Orioles, assuming the weather cooperates.
Tuesday's series opener was rained out, leaving the series scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.
Yes, to wait that long is unusual. Every other team this season has already played non-divisional foes. Manager Clint Hurdle does not recall such a scenario unfolding during his years as a player or coach.
As for whether facing teams that know his squad well has been a factor in their 10-16 start, "I don't know," Hurdle said.
"You've got to play well. I know when you play well, it's easier to gauge things. When you're in the state of the game that we are right now, we're not meeting the demands of the game. When you don't meet the demands of the game nightly, you put yourself at the mercy of the game."
The Pirates enter Tuesday 14th in the National League in batting average (.221) and 10th in ERA (3.65).
"It's not so much about the competition we're playing against. It's about us playing to the best we can play," Hurdle said.

Intel Settles With NVIDIA: More Money, Fewer Problems, No x86by Ryan Smith on 1/10/2011 9:20 PM EST
30 Comments
Back to Article
AmdInside - Monday, January 10, 2011 - linkThe way I see it, Intel traded top prospect rookies in exchange for a proven star. Intel gets most of the benefits now while NVIDIA may get bigger rewards in the future depending on how they play their cards (and invest their money). Reply
has407 - Monday, January 10, 2011 - linkThanks Ryan; very good synopsis.
"Interestingly the agreement also classifies an "Intel Architecture Emulator" as being a proprietary product. At first glance this would seem to disallow NVIDIA from making an x86 emulator for any of their products, be it their GPU holdings or the newly announced Project Denver ARM CPU. . Being officially prohibited from emulating x86 could be a huge deal for Denver down the road depending on where NVIDIA goes with it."
At second glance the agreement would also seem to disallow it:
1.8. "Intel Architecture Emulator" shall mean software, firmware, or hardware that, through emulation, simulation or any other process, allows a computer or other device that does not contain an Intel Compatible Processor, or a processor that is not an Intel Compatible Processor, to execute binary code that is capable of being executed on an Intel Compatible Processor.
1.12. "Intel Compatible Processor" shall mean any Processor that (a) can perform substantially the same functions as an Intel Processor by compatibly executing or otherwise processing (i) a substantial portion of the instruction set of an Intel Processor or (ii) object code versions of applications or other software targeted to run on an Intel Processor, in order to achieve substantially the same result as an Intel Processor; or (b) is substantially compatible with an Intel Processor Bus.
An interesting constraint, but IMHO likely to be at worst a mild speed bump. In 4-5 years we'll know better: maybe Nvidia will hit that constraint (IMHO doubtful as they'll have plenty of new workloads/apps); or the current trajectory will make it irrelevant (ok, we can't run your legacy x86 apps--who cares cuz we got plenty of other new and more important ones that people want).
In short, that constraint appears to be Intel looking to the past and attempting to protect their legacy turf, while Nvidia looks forward and their lawyers yawn and say "yeah, whatever, talk to you in six years." Reply
vol7ron - Monday, January 10, 2011 - linkBut x86 is still a superior product. Reply
has407 - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkOK, I'll bite...
What does "x86 is still a superior product" mean? That the x86 ISA is superior? That processors using the X86 ISA are superior? That specific vendor implementations of x86 ISA are superior? Or what?
And superior to what? We have an existence proof that x86 is demonstrably inferior in billions of cases. Otherwise why don't all those billions of routers, cell phones, microwave ovens, washers, dryers, refrigerators, cars, etc. use x86 instead of Z80, MIPS, ARM, etc. and their derivatives?
Yes, "x86 is still a superior product" in some ways and for some applications, but the area is shrinking, so be careful what ground you choose and how you choose to defend it. Reply
Tros - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkI can't tell if vol7ron is being ironic, or authentic, but this is the kind of junk I'd expect nVidia to run into for consumers.
With retrospect, I could see the mobile-ARM market as lucrative and still booming, and the opposite of the desktop-market. Seems to me that nVidia is wagering everything, that their GPGPU + ARM architecture would beat Intel's SoC solution in terms of power-usage and parallel computation throughput.
But vol7ron brings up a good point, that the PC-users (and gamers) really only know of x86. And it doesn't matter if there's a better architecture/SoC out there, because it doesn't run Starcraft/LabView/Fishbowl. Even with a library-blessing from Microsoft, an ARM+GPGPU system still might not be licensed to actually run what software people are locked to.
Lord knows the developers are either slow to port across architectures (sans Apple). And nVidia is betting that somebody will take up the call for their ARM+GPGPU powerhouse. Microsoft might do it, but I've seen a lot of promising things Microsoft might do, that get axed. Apple might do it, but they've already been burned by straying from hardware too different than the norm. Linux/Android will definitely do it, but my enthusiasm for Linux distros depend on how well it runs Wine. Reply
Haawser - Monday, February 13, 2017 - linkWon't change anything. Even if Nvidia get to emulate x86, there's no way AMD will let them use x64. And x86 without x64 is less than useless. Reply
vol7ron - Monday, January 10, 2011 - linkThe way the article is worded, it seems like NVIDIA didn't have much of a claim, but because Intel had problems with AMD, the FTC just threw them in there. Basically, it makes it seem like the FTC is the bad guy. Seriously, though, the payment to NVIDIA shouldn't be more than AMD's, but the good thing to note, is that it's not a lump sum, so the NPV isn't as high as it would be.
As for the EU, I would say "F-them", even if it came at a cost. I'm getting sick and tired of the EU quibbles. The only reason they're stepping in is because they want a piece of the pie too. The settlement with AMD/NVIDIA should be enough.
It might be worth mentioning that Microsoft said they're going to support non-x86 chips as well. Thinking Denver, or something ARM-based. Reply
has407 - Monday, January 10, 2011 - linkThe Intel-AMD and Intel-Nvidia disputes are completely different animals. They are completely unrelated, and involve very different laws and jurisdictions.
Intel-AMD dispute involvea monopolistic practices and restraint of trade, which necessarily involved the FTC/EU. Intel-Nvidia dispute is a straight contact/IP dispute AFAIK.
I don't see how that "makes it seem like the FTC is the bad guy." or how "the FTC just threw them in there" since the FTC (or EU) has no involvement in the Intel-Nvidia contretemps. Please enlighten. Reply
vol7ron - Monday, January 10, 2011 - linkRe-read the article if you're curious about how the FTC popped in.
It's still unclear who was in the wrong. Not saying intel is innocent, but AMD outcome didn't help. Reply
has407 - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkOk, I get that the FTC was a lurker, and if Intel and Nvidia didn't settle, Nvidia might still goad the FTC into action to make life painful for Intel.
What I would dispute is that the the FTC was much of a threat or substantially involved in this case, especially considering that the Nvidia-Intel spat preceded the FTC action (and was not initiated as part of an FTC complaint, although it subsequently contributed to it). The FTC effectively wemt MIA following the AMD settlement; as Ryan said "the FTC didn't get everything they wanted".
In short, I think the FTC's actions had pretty much run their course, and their involvement (real or potential) likely had very little to do with the this Intel-Nvidia settlement. Was the FTC still a club Nvidia could weild? Maybe as an irritant to Intel, but as a substantive threat I doubt it, and this article (among others) does nothing to suggest otherwise. YMMV. Reply
vol7ron - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkYes. I want to also say, that I was not serious about the EU comment. I'm not exactly sure what happened there and I think everyone knows EU business is important, both to intel and the global economy.
I just re-read what was written and it seemed more sour then humorous. I hope this clarifies it was not meant to be serious. Reply

Intel has been breaking laws and being a general dick for quite a long time now. Intel is the bad guy and they should be sued another 100billion for wasting everyone's time lying in the courts pretending not to have done anything wrong. Reply

From the amended chipset licensing agreement:
"NVIDIA Licensed Chipsets shall not include any Intel Chipsets that are capable of electrically interfacing directly (with or without buffering or pin, pad or bump reassignment) with an Intel Processor that has an integrated (whether on-die or in-package) main memory controller, such as, without limitation, the Intel Processor families that are code named 'Nehalem', 'Westmere' and 'Sandy Bridge.'"
It specifically spells out the fact that NVIDIA can't make chipsets for Nehalem or SB generation CPUs. Reply

pugster - Wednesday, January 12, 2011 - linkAgreed. Intel paying off AMD for its integrated memory controller patents and Nvidia for integrated graphics patents. That's the big difference between a Sandy Bridge and a Core2duo cpu's. Intel says that they are going to have revenues of 13 bil because of Sandy Bridge this year, more than enough to pay off AMD and Nvidia for their IP's. A real bargain for Intel indeed. AMD and Nvidia should've be smart enough and license their technology to Intel and receive $x per every processor intel sells. Reply
quanta - Wednesday, January 12, 2011 - linkIt seems no one mentioned the SLI licensing that Intel has paid to NVIDIA prior to the settlement that 'allows' NVIDIA not to cripple SLI support at GeForce/Quadro drivers. That seems to be the only 'NVIDIA technology' that Intel ever gets out of the settlement, if the settlement is really just extending existing cross licensing deals. After all, the Intel HD Graphics has so far been based on PowerVR SGX cores licensed to Intel, it is unlikely for Intel to use new cores that that have incompatible instruction sets, especially now that Sandy Bridge-based CPUs include graphics cores that will get supported (or already supported?) by Intel compilers.

HOUSTON - Hundreds of people paid their respects to Senator Mario Gallegos at his viewing and rosary Sunday.
Gallegos made history and inspired many as the first Hispanic State Senator to serve Harris County in 1995.
However, his dedication to the area extended farther back, as Gallegos served 22 years as a Houston firefighter.
With his death from liver disease, hundreds converged on the University of Houston Cullen Performance Hall to honor Gallegos.
"We are very deeply thankful for you, his family, for sharing him with us...And of course, for all he has done for us," said Nelda Blair, University of Houston system board chair.
"Every single day he did his very best," said Gallegos' friend Harold Cook.
"We lost someone who meant a lot to the Hispanic community as well as myself," said Gallegos' cousin Joe Sanchez.
Leaders from the State described the spirit of the senator.
"[He was] kind, friendly, courteous, brave, courageous and a fighter," said Lt. Governor David Dewhurst.
"Whenever Mario fought, he fought for others," said Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. "For Mario, may you rest in peace my friend. I will miss you. I will miss you."
Gallegos' funeral is scheduled for Monday at the Sacred Heart Co-Cathedral in downtown Houston.

D-backs topped in extra-inning finale vs. Rockies
Chances slip by as Arizona unable to complete series sweep
PHOENIX -- The D-backs on Sunday lost a game in 10 innings that they had plenty of opportunities to win in nine.
Instead, Corey Dickerson's two-out homer in the 10th led the Rockies past the D-backs, 5-3, at Chase Field.
With the loss, the D-backs missed sweeping the three-game set.
D-backs left-hander Oliver Perez started the 10th in dominant fashion, striking out the first two batters he faced, and he jumped ahead of Dickerson 0-1 before hanging a slider that Dickerson hit into the pool area beyond the wall in right-center.
"One pitch can change everything, and that was the pitch," Perez said. "I was going to throw it down in the zone and I just slipped it right in the middle. That was a mistake and he took advantage."
After using a full leg kick on the first pitch to Dickerson, he changed things on the second one.
"I went up there looking for something out over the plate," Dickerson said. "He slide-stepped that second pitch and I just used my hands as a reaction. I thought it was a line drive. I thought it was going to hit the wall but it went out."
The homer came on the heels of a golden opportunity for the D-backs to win the game in the bottom of the ninth as they loaded the bases with one out.
David Peralta, though, hit a grounder to short and the Rockies were able to force the runner at the plate, and then Mark Trumbo grounded out to end the threat.
With runners on first and second during that inning, Aaron Hill hit a bullet to left, but the ball was hit so hard that Dickerson was able to get it back into the infield quickly so the runner had to hold at third.
That was one of just two hits the D-backs had on the day with runners in scoring position.
"We had pressure all over," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "We had a lot of opportunities. Other than that, we had an opportunity to win that game in the ninth inning, and we let it slip away. That's a game we should win."
The D-backs grabbed an early lead against Franklin Morales thanks to a two-run first-inning double by Trumbo.
Wade Miley, though, has struggled this year to shut the opponent down in the inning after being given a lead and he quickly let the Rockies right back in this one.
After Drew Stubbs drew a walk to lead off the second, Ben Paulsen hit his first career big league homer to tie the game at 2.
"The pitch to Paulsen, tried to steal a strike and he stayed on it for a two-run," Miley said. "That kind of hurt. That was a big part of the game right there. We'd just scored two runs but to give it right back kind of hurt."
Sloppy defense by the Rockies allowed the D-backs to get the lead back in the fourth.
Alfredo Marte and Jake Lamb led off the inning with singles and an error by Morales loaded the bases with nobody out.
Morales then got Didi Gregorius to pop out and it looked like he might escape the inning unscathed when Miley hit a tapper back to the mound. Morales flipped to catcher Wilin Rosario for the force at home, but Rosario's throw to first to complete the double play sailed down the line and a run scored to give Arizona a 3-2 lead.
The home run has been trouble for Miley, who has allowed the second most in the National League, and once again it was the long ball that allowed the Rockies to tie the game when Rosario hit a one-out homer in the sixth.
"Well, Rosario, he pitched pretty good with his offspeed stuff," Gibson said of Miley. "He tried to sneak a fastball by him, he hit it out."

BROCKHOLES Nature Reserve is appealing for volunteers to help mark the Summer Solstice tomorrow.
Volunteers are needed to created a new stone circle at the reserve in Samlesbury.
Help is needed to move the stones from the edge of the car park to a viewing area on higher ground.
The circle will be created using different stones to reflect the wide variety of stone can be found across Lancashire.
Lancashire Wildlife Trust senior conservation officer John Lamb said: "We will need help to move the stones, using levers, to dig the holes, to collect packing stones, to pull the stones into position and to backfill the hole.
"Over a 12-hour period between 9.40am and 9.40pm we hope to get at least three stones in place, out of a total of 13 which form a circle.
"The aim is for the last one to be put into place in the evening as the sun is setting.
"The first stones are limestone and are coming from Back Lane Quarry near Carnforth, care of Aggregate Industries.
"Millstone grit is coming from Pendle Hill and there will be sandstone from Grindleton Fell.
Haslingden flagstone will be coming from the Rossendale area .
"The other stones will, hopefully, be placed in the ground during the celebrations for Lammas, the Autumn Equinox, Halloween, with the circle being completed at the Winter Solstice on December 21."
For more details, call Brockholes on 01772 872000.

Confirmed: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes Are Getting Divorced
It's confirmed: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are divorcing. Should we be surprised or not?
-Lucia Peters
It's true: After five years of marriage, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are getting divorced—and oddly, I'm not sure if I should be super surprised by it, or not surprised at all. Thoughts, Bettys?
Katie's attorney confirmed the news to People this afternoon, releasing the following statement: "This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family. Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest." Hmmm. That doesn't bode well for successful co-parenting, does it?
As with all celebrity splits, I'm trying really hard not to pry too much—regardless as to how I may feel about the people involved, the end of a marriage is never an easy thing and obviously I feel for the whole family as they work through this difficult time. I'm still going to take a moment to speculate, though, because I'm curious, plain and simple.
So: Should we be surprised by the split or not? Part of me thinks we should be quite surprised indeed; remember the days of the couch-jumping, "I'M IN LOVE WITH KATIE HOLMES!" incident? But at the same time, the relationship always raised a few eyebrows, so maybe we shouldn't be surprised at all.
Read Alas, David Beckham's Olympic Dreams Have Been Crushed
Of course, the likeliest explanation is just that Tom and Katie's lives have begun to diverge too much. Tom's career is in better shape right now than it has been for a while (Rock of Ages not withstanding)—which probably requires him to be in LA more than New York these days. Katie, meanwhile, has been hitting the New York stage more often than the silver screen, and she's probably doing most of the caretaking when it comes to their six-year-old daughter, Suri.
Think about it: When was the last time Tom was photographed with Suri? Or with Katie, for that matter? We're used to seeing an awful lot of Katie and Suri together, since they're photographed pretty much wherever they go—but when was the last time you can recall Tom being with them? I'm drawing a blank, but maybe that's just me.
Anyway, thus concludes my moment of speculation; I'll butt out of their personal lives now. My best goes out the family as they work their way through this difficult matter.

I'm looking to build a toggle menu using jQuery. I have the toggle feature working but for some reason my if statement isn't working. Basically I need to check to see if the list item has any children (sub menu items) and if so then toggle them open/closed on click preventing the default click-through action, and if not then allow the default click-through action.

What's new?

$(document).ready(function() {
// Hide the sub menu items first
$('#menu > li > ul').hide();
// Add the toggle & prevent default action only if there are children
if ( $('#menu > li').has('ul').length ) {
$('#menu > li').toggle(function() {
}, function() {
return false; // Prevent default action
The toggle currently works but the click-through doesn't. By this I mean if you click the menu item which doesn't have any children it should go to test.html but doesn't. Also clicking on each of the children doesn't send through to the relevant page (hashtag).
Any help or suggestions on how best to achieve it are very welcome.
Right now you are adding the toggle behaviour on to all list items.
$('#menu > li').toggle(function() {
What it seems that you need, is to filter those before you add the toggle event to the remaining ones. You can do that by removing the if statement, and moving the has() method to just before the toggle
$('#menu > li').has('ul').toggle(function() {
Currently they are "#" when I suspect they should be something else, such as "#contactus"
Thanks. I knew my if statement was causing some problems but I wasn't quite sure how to filter on it. Your example solved the click through issues but the only issue that remains is that if I click on one of the sub menu items instead of taking me to that page it now just re-hides the that sub menu.
How can I elaborate on it so that instead of re-hiding that sub navigation it follows the link instead? Another check of some kind for child items?
The return false prevents the links from being followed.
Other than that, do you have a demo test page available? Because I suspect that the problem might be in the HTML now.
Yeah sure, I've changed the links now to point to pages and I can see that these are now working on the top level items because it follows through (even though those pages don't exist I am still taken to that page).
Here's the demo: http://ijy.me/tmp/toggle/toggle.html
jQuery still has the event on the list item, so when you click the link, it's not the actual link that's handling the click but the list item instead.
One way around this is to use the event info so that you can gain access to the clicked link, and then navigate to it from there.
function(evt) {
window.location = evt.target;
I see. Would it be better to target the link specifically then? Also, would it be better to use toggle() instead of the individual slideUp() and slideDown() methods?
I've uploaded the changes to show you the effect it has. Child links are now followed but the slide goes back up right after clicking and before transferring to the new page. Also if you click on one of the parents twice (once to open it, once when it is open) it follows that link too.
I'm open to suggestions on how to alter it to produce a better toggle menu/accordion (not quite an accordion because multiple items are allowed to be open at the same time).
How about using a tree menu plugin for jQuery that's ready to go?http://jquery.bassistance.de/treeview/demo/
It's more the learning than the time involved at the moment. I'd rather learn how to do it myself and understand why things work or don't work than use something off-the-shelf. I wouldn't have thought it would be too hard to get working but when you get down to the nitty gritty it's the little things you didn't count on which cause the problems.
Let's push on then.
For the slideup event, have the function check if the parent of the link has any ul elements
If it does, slide up. Otherwise, follow the link.
function(evt) {
if ($(evt.target).parent().has('ul').length > 0) {
} else {
window.location = evt.target;
Aha! That seems to be it!
So the extra check is to add the toggle to the parent if it has no children and if not then follow the link. It seems easy when you see how it's done.
Just to check I'm following correctly, (evt.target) is the 'li a', the parent is the 'li' and we're checking to see if there is a 'ul' in that 'li'?
So when using .length I need to make sure I also give it a conditional such as > 0 to get it to return true or false.
function(evt) is necessary because of event delegation, so the event handler isn't inherited?
window.location = evt.target; gives the browser back it's default link action?
Out of interest, if I had multiple nested items would this work on sub-sub-menus too? I used the child selectors for that reason of flexibility and the rest of the solution looks like it would work but I've not yet tried.
Thanks for the help, very much appreciated.
Also would it be better practice to change the event to that of the list item anchor tag instead of the list item?
It's not mandetory, as 0 will resolve to the same result as false, but it makes it easier to understand the code.
if (someFunc(stuff)) {
// huh?
if (someFunc(stuff) > 0) {
// that's better
On IE events are a global object, whereas on most other web browsers the event info is passed to the first parameter of the function handler. So no, it's not inherited.
Not exactly. Your return false does nothing to prevent the default action, so you can remove that.
The click event on the link bubbles up through the elements, from a to li to ul and so on upwards to the body tag. The event is captured by jQuery at the li where your toggle event is, and the jQuery's toggle method automatically prevents the default action from occurring.
From: the .toggle() documentation pageThe implementation also calls .preventDefault() on the event, so links will not be followed and buttons will not be clicked if .toggle() has been called on the element.
Because the links can no longer be automatically followed, we need to simulate that instead by using window.location
Yes it should work on multiply nested items.
Something that I noticed though is that the user has no way to tell if a link will open a submenu, or if it will navigate to another page. You may want to consider how to clear up that confusion for users of the navigation.
When using the toggle event, it's 6 of one and half-a-dozen of the other.
Since your main focus of toggling is on the list items, that does seem to be the more appropriate choice here.
So giving it a name such as function(evt) just helps to identify it in the code making it easier to read?
Interesting to know. I wouldn't have known toggle() added this behaviour by default without reading through the API docs (or you pointing it out :). I've removed the return false now and it still works as expected.
True. That's another usability enhancement that can be added to improve the menu. For the purpose it's not a problem at the moment but it could be something I add later on. I imagine the best way would be to add a class to each list item depending on whether they have any nested ul's? Then style that class by providing an arrow or such to indicate it contains sub content?
Thanks again, all good to know for future reference.
It doesn't just help, it's mandetory. That's the W3C way of handling events that occurs on web browsers that are not IE.
It's commonly done by using CSS to set the background image to the indicator. If you want to get fancy, you can script changes to the background image when you toggle things.

Comments about EVH Wolfgang Special Electric Guitar:
First of all let me start out by saying that I was very skeptical about this guitar, after all how could it be of any quality if it's $2k less than the orginal...Well let me say this guitar is AMAZING. I currently own about 26 guitars including 4 Peavey Wolfgangs. This guitar stands tall amongst all of them. The quality is top shelf. The guitar plays like a dream. The stainless steel frets are like playing on glass, I've never played a guitar where articlulation is so accurate. The finish is stunning and the case is gorgeous is looks so good I often leave the case open just to look at it. The guitar's hardware is topshelf the Floyd is tight and focused no LOOSE bar, the knobs and volume pots are sooooo smooth. The pickups are less gainy and distorted than the Peavey, Which I actually like, you can hear the guitars natural tone.
This guitar plays and sounds so good it makes me play ALL THE TIME ! ! ! I think about it first thing when I get up in the morning it is inspirational. If you can I highly recommend it. It was moved up to the front of the stable A++++

Dental Anesthesia
Carbocaine for 7 Crowns (Upper) 3 hour Appoin
i am having 7 crowns done 4 on right side and 3 on left side. all front uppers, i use carbocaine or something else with out the eppy.... i have has 2 crowns and root canals done before with this all at onece, but is it ok for this much work in 1 visit i have a 3 hour appointment.. i asked if he was going to numb all at one he said yes ..... i hear that carbocaine or like substance dont last long will this be ok to use for this kind of work.. i am having crowns only no root canals.. in prep for an extraction on front tooth and grafts to result in a one piece bridge/crowns at a later time,,,,
Carbocaine is regarded as an excellent local anesthetic for short and intermediate-lasting dental procedures. For most procedures on mandibular teeth (lower jaw), the effect of Carbocaine lasts long enough for the dentist to complete several crown procedures. However, for teeth in the maxilla (upper jaw) the duration of Carbocaine's effect is considerably shorter because there are more blood vessels in the upper jaw tissues that absorb the local anesthetic and wash the Carbocaine away, allowing the tooth to "awaken" more quickly.
The purpose of adding epinephrine, Neocobefrin or other vasoconstrictor agents to some local anesthetics is to shrink the blood vessels in order to reduce the blood flow through the area where the local anesthetic was injected. This helps to keep the local anesthetic in place longer and allows the local anesthetic to work for a longer period of time.
That is why lidocaine with epinephrine is the most popular local anesthetic in dentistry in the US. Carbocaine with Neocobefrin (levonordefrin) is also longer acting than Carbocaine Plain without Neocobefrin. If for some reason the dentist believes that the epinephrine or Neocobefrin are not good choices for you based on your medical history, the shorter duration of Carbocaine Plain will have to be supplemented by additional injections during the procedure whenever it begins to wear off and the tooth begins to become sensitive to the dentist's procedure.
Thus, the downside of doing it this way is that one could expect to have some discomfort from time to time during a long procedure whenever the anesthetic wears off and until the supplemental injections boost up the local anesthetic effect again. When the dentist using Carbocaine Plain gives more injections during long procedures, the total amount of anesthetic given during the treatment will be more than if he/she could have given an initial injection of an anesthetic that may have lasted for the entire procedure. The total amount that can be safely given is primarily based on your state of health, your lean body weight and the density of the blood vessels at the site of the injection.
If you are a small person, the maximum amount of Carbocaine that can be safely given is less than what can be given to an average or larger person. The FDA-approved labeling states the following total dosage recommendations for average-sized adults: Each cartridge contains 1.8 mL (54 mg of 3%). Maximum recommended dose for adults (400mg). Thus, the FDA would recommend about 7.5 glass cartridges as the maximum dose. Unless the dentist is very fast when doing all of the crown preps at once, he/she could numb one side of the mouth until nearly finished with those teeth and then numb up the their side just before doing those teeth. That way, the teeth on the second side will be just getting numb rather than being toward the end of the numbness period if all teeth on both sides were injected at the same time.
It is encouraging that you have apparently successfully undergone at least one other fairly long procedure without difficulty with Plain Carbocaine, so a few additional injections may be all that is necessary for a longer appointment.

IT may be cold outside but a charity is suggesting people shed some clothing for Valentine's Day.
Acorns Children's Hospice doesn't want people to strip off but is instead urging people across Worcestershire to donate unwanted items of clothing to its shops.
Staff at the shops are seeking clothing to sell to raise funds to care and support local children with life limiting or life threatening conditions and just 60 bags of good quality donated items can raise enough money to cover the £750 cost of caring for a child for one day at an Acorns hospice.
Acorns Children's Hospice head of retail, Kevin Ives, said: "On Valentine's Day people spend millions of pounds on their 'someone special'. Of course we'd like people to buy items from our shops this February 14 but we also want people to make donations.
"By offloading unwanted items people can also help make a huge difference to local children and families at our hospices. It's vital that we keep our shops well-stocked and we urge people to think of us and clear out their wardrobes.
"It costs nothing to drop-off unwanted items at our shops yet it's an easy way of getting 'the feel-good factor' this Valentine's Day."
Donations can be brought into the shops during the opening hours of 9am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday.
The shops are at Court Road, Barnards Green, Malvern; St Andrew's Street, Droitwich; St Peter's the Great Park, Worcester; Old Street, Upton; and Mealcheapen Street, Worcester.

Tim Cook: Some Mac Production Coming to U.S. Next Year

Apple CEO Tim Cook
(Source: siliconbeat.com)
He said it's important to create jobs both abroad and in the U.S.
In an extensive interview with
, which was released today, Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed that some Mac production would be moved to the United States in 2013.
Earlier this week, a report from
CNN Money
revealed an iMac purchase with the label
"Computer Assembled in USA"
on it. A reader by the name Aaron Gong had bought the 21-inch iMac in a San Jose, California Apple Store just last weekend.
However, another iMac buyer purchased the same unit at the Manhattan Apple Store last week, and it had the expected "Assembled in China" label. Clearly, Apple wasn't moving all Mac production to the U.S., but it sparked some speculation.
Now, Cook said himself that some Mac production will, indeed,
make its way to the U.S.
next year. He also noted that other parts, such as the iPhone's processor, is from the United States as well (Texas, to be exact).
"It's not known well that the engine for the iPhone and iPad is made in the U.S., and many of these are also exported—the engine, the processor," said Cook in the interview. "The glass is made in Kentucky. And next year we are going to bring some production to the U.S. on the Mac. We've been working on this for a long time, and we were getting closer to it. It will happen in 2013. We're really proud of it."
further asked what it meant for an American company like Apple to be "patriotic." In other words, how important is it to bring production to the U.S. despite it being cheaper overseas?
"I do feel we have a responsibility to create jobs," said Cook. "I don't think we have a responsibility to create a
kind of job, but I think we do have a responsibility to create jobs. I think we have a responsibility to give back to the communities, to pick ways that we can do that … and not just in the U.S., but abroad as well.
"I've never thought a company's
measurement of job creation
should be limited to the number of employees working directly for them. That's a very old-time way of measuring. Our iOS platform allows developers to work as entrepreneurs and sell their applications to a worldwide market that didn't exist previously. The mobile software industry was nascent before the iPhone. Now you've got hundreds of thousands of developers out there.
"Unlike other companies—at least I know of no other large companies—almost all of our R&D is sitting in California. It's a part of our model. We do this because it's important for people to run into each other and discuss ideas and collaborate. We're building a multibillion-dollar headquarters to house them in what we think will be the center of creativity. We're building a campus in Austin for people in Texas. We're building three data centers—adding to the one we have in Maiden [N.C.] and establishing new sites in Oregon and in Nevada."
"What would I do? I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders." -- Michael Dell, after being asked what to do with Apple Computer in 1997

Thornbury Theatre
CURB Your Enthusiasm, the post-Seinfeld project of that show's co-creator, Larry David, has never received a prime-time free-to-air television berth in Australia but that hasn't prevented one of its stars, J.B. Smoove (who plays David's foul-mouthed sidekick Leon), developing a sizeable cult following here.
That's not all that surprising given Smoove has been responsible for some of the funniest, most memorable scenes in the (partially improvised) TV show's history.
The crowd was reminded of this before Smoove made his entrance on Saturday night, with the screening of a brief series of highlights from the show.
But what soon became apparent after Smoove had bounded on stage to a blaring hip-hop track was what the small screen doesn't capture - he is not just witty, he is also a talented physical comedian.
Throughout the show, the New Yorker used his gangly body to simulate all kinds of situations - escaping police on a stagecoach, walking in high heels, a doddering old man giving directions.
The pace is relentless, but so are the laughs. While Smoove takes on well-worn stand-up topics - women, sex, bodily functions - he does so with such energy and glee you can't help but be swept up by it.
And despite his penchant for non-stop swearing, he also shows a taste for the surreal, with scenarios that start off in fairly familiar stand-up territory, such as discussing his sexual prowess, ending up with him simulating chin-ups on a string of his own ''residue''.
In an exhausting, 90-minute- plus set, it was apparent that TV success has not curbed Smoove's enthusiasm for stand-up and the audience was just as enthused.

The guide is 10 pages long. I will be sending this to you Via Email in doc. file. I will also send you a simple meditation to use to help attune your living stones to you. These Stones are very powerful. You can feel their energy! While in a state of Meditation Hold your stones lightly in your hand and you can actually feel them pulsate, or tingle once they have been attuned to you. The stones themselves sometimes become very warm when you are working with them. I can state this fact as being true from my own personal Experience with these stones. In fact while I was photographing a previous set that I sold here on Etsy upon request, the screen on my camera had these little moving spots on it all around the area of the stones when I had zoomed in on them, actually detecting their energy field. I have not attuned these stones. I only worked with them during the design process. Basic Info on the stones: These stones are found at the base of a natural pyramid mount in the center of the continental USA, and are the same type of rock, having the same properties. Kansas Pop Rocks usually come in pairs, a smoother stone which has Yin or female energy and is referred to as the female, and a rougher stone that has Yang or masculine energy and is referred to as the male. Kansas Pop Rocks are excellent for balancing energy and polarities of all kinds. They are used a lot in energy healing and psychic healing to release blockages. They are also used a lot to balance the chakras and align them. They are also excellent for grounding excess energies, grounding people who are feeling "spacey", and for shielding. In the both the household plant pots and out in nature, Kansas Pop Rocks are used to promote plant growth. Kansas Pop Rocks are also used in healing arthritis, back pain, general healing, regeneration of cells, adrenal glands, chronic fatigue, and physical energy.

The fruits that have countless benefits to the human health are of great importance for our nutrition. Fruits that help digestion with their fibrous structures provide many elements essential for the survival of the human body. Furthermore, fruits are rendered beneficial not only for human beings but also for other living beings on Earth. Several creatures such as birds, squirrels etc. feed on fruits. Meanwhile, fruits also benefit the trees on which they grow.
In order to continue their generations, many kinds of plants transport their seeds to locations unreachable for them by means of their fruit. For this end, they make use of the birds and other living beings that feed on fruits. After plucking the fruits from trees, these living beings carry them to far places and thus spread the seeds around. At the same time, some animals and insects feed on the fruit falling on the ground. Meanwhile fruit enrich the soil. Not only the pulp but also the seed of fruit are very beneficial for many living beings.
Fruit which are created with different tastes, colors and shapes are blessings of Allah. The coat of the banana which is easily peeled and its delicious taste, the juice of orange with its special aroma and the cooling and tasty flavor of watermelon in hot weathers and all other fruit are the blessings Allah provide us to our service.
In many verses of the Qur'an, Allah gives the good news that fruit are presented to human beings as the blessings of Paradise.
Platters and cups of gold will be passed around among them and they will have there all that their hearts desire and their eyes find delight in. You will remain in it timelessly, for ever. That is the Garden you will inherit for what you did. There will be many fruits in it for you to eat. (Surat az-Zukhruf , 71-73)
Orange, which is known as the fruit that contains all the anti-carcinogenic agents, is the second most consumed fruit of the world after apple. Orange, the "golden apple" of the ancient ages, is a juicy fruit filled with bursas. It is mainly divided into four groups as the navel orange, the seedy or seedless yellow orange, the blood orange and the non-sour orange. The homeland of orange, which is a citrus fruit which contains oil with a special scent, is China. Then, primarily in Spain, orange became a fruit that is grown in all other Mediterranean countries and warm regions such as Southern Africa and America.
Orange is an important source of ascorbic acid; its rich vitamin C content is instrumental in treating common colds, sniffles and influenzal infections. This fruit also contains several antioxidants and grows in winter, which is also a blessing of Allah, simply because its vitamin content help strengthening the human immune system and is also used for making up the water loss caused by the disorders cited above.

The below doses may not apply to all products. You should read product labels, and discuss doses with a qualified healthcare provider before starting therapy.
As an antioxidant, 250 milliliters of cranberry juice (Ocean Spray® Cranberry Select) has been taken three times daily for two weeks. Dried cranberry juice (NutriCran®90, Decas Botanical Synergies, United States) two capsules daily (400 milligrams) or two capsules three times daily (1,200 milligrams daily) has been taken for eight weeks.
For cardiovascular disease, 480 milliliters of double-strength cranberry juice (containing 54% juice, 835 milligrams of total polyphenols, and 94 milligrams of anthocyanins) has been used daily.
For diabetes, six capsules containing cranberry juice concentrate powder equivalent to 240 milliliters of cranberry juice cocktail have been used daily for six weeks.
For H. pylori infection, 250 milliliters has been used twice daily for 90 days.
For lipid-lowering effects, six capsules containing cranberry juice concentrate powder equivalent to 240 milliliters of cranberry juice cocktail has been used daily for six weeks. 125-500 milliliters of low-calorie cranberry juice has been used daily for four weeks.
For lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), one gelatin capsule containing 500 milligrams of cranberry fruit powder has been used three times daily for six months.
For metabolic syndrome (cardiovascular disease risk factors and antioxidant status), one cup (240 milliliters) of cranberry juice has been used twice daily, as a midmorning and early-evening snack with at least six hours in between doses, for eight weeks (for a total daily dose of 480mL).
For prevention of urinary stones, the following have been used: one quart of cranberry juice cocktail daily; eight ounces of cranberry juice four times daily for several days, then eight ounces two times daily; and one liter of cranberry juice daily for seven days. Efficacy has not been proven for these dosages.
For prevention of urinary tract infections, doses studied range from 30 to 480 milliliters (1-16 ounces) of cranberry juice cocktail 2-3 times daily for up to 40 weeks, or 15-30 milliliters of unsweetened 100% cranberry juice daily. One gram of concentrated cranberry extract (CranVerry, Aim This Way, Cambridge, MA) has been used twice daily for six months, and 1.5 ounces of frozen juice concentrate twice daily has been used. Eight ounces of cranberry juice cocktail (Ocean Spray® low-calorie juice cocktail) was taken twice daily for six months. One to three cranberry capsules (36 milligrams of cranberry proanthocyanidin; PAC) have been taken daily for 30 days. Four to five milliliters of cranberry tincture has been given three times daily (anecdotally). For a novel concentrated cranberry liquid blend (Uti-Stat®), the suggested dose was set at 60 milliliters daily. Supplements containing 200-8,000 milligrams of cranberry have been taken daily for up to six months.
For urinary tract infection treatment, 360-480 milliliters (12-16 ounces) of cranberry juice have been taken daily for up to 21 days.
There is not enough scientific evidence to suggest cranberry supplementation in children (beyond amounts found in a normal balanced diet). Cranberry been used safely in doses of 15 milliliters per kilogram. In children (2-18 years old) with neurogenic bladder receiving clean intermittent catheterization, 300 milliliters daily of cranberry juice for three months was used. High doses may cause toxicity.

Wada's recovery impresses Showalter
Fort Myers, Fla. -- Tsuyoshi Wada threw a bullpen session on Saturday, leaving Orioles manager Buck Showalter really encouraged with the progress of the southpaw's rehab from an elbow injury.
"He's throwing the ball, fastball and changeup, and that's pretty fun to watch him throw because it just reminds me of what he can be for us," Showalter said of Wada, who was signed last winter and has yet to throw a pitch for the Orioles. "He's got a chance to be pretty good. If we get him back in May, it bodes well. I'm excited about where he is."
Wada also threw on Friday, mainly working on his mechanics from the half-mound, and he remains on track to return as early as May. If he continues on that schedule, the question is whether the Orioles choose to put him on the 60-day disabled list -- opening up a spot on the 40-man roster -- to start the season, which would keep him sidelined until the end of May.
"If we needed that spot, we'd do it," Showalter said. "It's also kind of good in a way that he doesn't get any false hopes, because we're not going to pitch him [in a Grapefruit League game] before the season. If we need that spot, he is still a candidate.
Hopefully we don't need the spot. It wouldn't be the worst thing to have him kind of get that out of his head. All you have got to do is walk past him and see his face and you can tell how he feels."

AN up-market supermarket chain has become the first high street retailer in the UK to pick RELEX, Europe's fastest growing supply chain development solution provider, to help improve its replenishment management.
Booths, which has stores in Clitheroe and Chorley, has joined the system which has helped retailers to cut fresh produce spoilage, reduce stock levels, boost availability and manage events like seasonal campaigns.
Andrew Rafferty, Booth's IT and supply director, said: "We need to meet the challenges of a modern, grocery environment in managing fresh, ambient, chilled and frozen produce lines across a variety of store sizes and product ranges.
"The bar is always getting higher and no one in the sector can afford to be complacent."
Work on a new Booths store in Barrowford was due to start this weekend.

HOUSTON - Three suspects robbed a southeast Houston mobile store and killed the store's owner, police said.
A woman and two children saw the fatal shooting at the Boost Mobile store on Telephone Road and Kinney about 4:40 p.m. Monday.
Investigators say two men wearing ski masks stormed the store. While one served as lookout, the other with the gun forced everyone inside on the floor, police said. As the man was stealing money from the cash register, the store's owner, Hamid Waraich, 53, reached to push the button on a silent alarm. That's when the suspect shot Waraich in the back, investigators said.
Paramedics rushed Waraich to Memorial Hermann Hospital, but he died from his wound.
When Waraich's family received the news of his death, they were overcome with sorrow.
"All I know is he got shot. It's not fair," said stepson Victor Toscano. "For what? A couple of bucks? You got to take a life?"
Police said the two men ran to a dark grey, four-door Pontiac with paper license plates where a getaway driver was waiting. Investigators said they took off their ski masks as they left the store and left behind fingerprints.
It's also believed that the trio robbed a used car dealership on Almeda Genoa Road, which is about three miles from the mobile store, about 25 minutes before the fatal robbery.
