This week the U.S. House voted to block the Environmental Protection Agency from allowing E15, a blend of 85 percent gas and 15 percent ethanol, to be sold at American gas stations. From David Shepardson of the The Detroit News:
The House voted 286-135 to block the EPA from spending any money to carry out a waiver to allow E15 to be sold at the nation's fueling stations. Currently, most gas stations sell E10 -- which is 10 percent ethanol.
The EPA has granted a waiver to allow a blend of 15 percent of ethanol to be sold for vehicles from the 2001 model year and newer.
Rep. John Sullivan, R-Oklahoma, introduced an amendment to the bill to fund government operations through Sept. 30, to block EPA from moving ahead.
"The EPA has completely ignored calls from lawmakers, industry, environmental and consumer groups to address important safety issues raised by the 50 percent increase in the ethanol mandate issued over the past year. Putting E15 into our general fuel supply could adversely impact up to 60 percent of cars on the road today leading to consumer confusion at the pump and possible engine failure in the cars they drive," Sullivan said.
I'm glad to see Congress acting to rein ethanol in. If you read this blog with any frequency, you know the government-mandated use of ethanol is something of a hobbyhorse for me. I don't think the costs in terms of higher food prices, lower fuel economy and damage to small engines are worth the benefits of a few cents off each gallon of gas and reduced imports of foreign oil.
Of all the negative effects of increased ethanol production, the worst may be higher food prices. Last week Kay McDonald wrote in the New York Times that up to 15 percent of global corn production was going into American gas tanks. That's insane.
And corn isn't the only staple affected, according to McDonald:
Wheat and soy prices increase when corn prices are high, since their acreage allotment is replaced by corn. In addition, wheat and soy get substituted for corn as animal feed.
As I've said before, I'm sympathetic to the goals of reducing foreign oil dependency and reducing carbon emissions, but ethanol isn't the way to achieve them. Instead, let's push fuel economy standards higher and encourage the development of electric cars. In the long run, those actions will have a much bigger impact on oil imports, without creating global food shortages and ruining engines in Americans' older cars and boats.
What do you think? Am I missing something? Do you support the use of ethanol in America's fuel supply?

Q+A: Susan Wood interviews Arthur Loo
Sunday 7th April,
Q+A: Susan Wood interviews Arthur Loo
Auckland Chinese community leader says New Zealand has nothing to fear from Chinese investment:
A highly respected member of the Auckland Chinese community says that if New Zealand is going to have a debate about Chinese investment in the country it should be a debate about all overseas investment.
Auckland Chinese Community Centre chairman Arthur Loo told TV One's Q+A programme that, for example, all of New Zealand's major banks are foreign-owned, meaning billions of dollars flow out of the country, and that the percentage of NZ farmland owned by Chinese was tiny in comparison to Australian, American, the UK and the Dutch.
Loo is currently visiting China as part of Prime Minister John Key's trade delegation. He told Q+A's Susan Wood that NZ had nothing more to fear from Chinese investment than it did from investment from any other major country.
"It's a business relationship, so a business relationship, irrespective of who you are contracting with, there are always ups and downs…China is a major power now, a major trading nation, so we've got to make the most of our opportunities. You know, New Zealand doesn't produce enough of its own capital. You know, we don't supply our own capital. So the only way we're going to get capital is through trading and doing business with other countries, and one of those other countries has to be China."
Q+A, 9-10am Sundays on TV ONE and one hour later on TV ONE plus 1. Repeated Sunday evening at 11:30pm. Streamed live at www.tvnz.co.nz
Thanks to the support from NZ On Air.
Q+A is on Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/NZQandA#!/NZQandA and on Twitter, http://twitter.com/#!/NZQandA
Arthur Loo is a Chinese Kiwi who's done well. He's chairman of the Auckland Chinese Community, partner in Loo and Koo Barristers and Solicitors, Australasia's largest South-East Asian-focused law firm, and he's on the Prime Minister's trade trip to China. Mr Loo is also involved in a lot of community work and has earned the Queen's Service Medal. Just before he left for China I asked him the significance of the large delegation and the trip to China.
ARTHUR LOO, Auckland Chinese Community Chairperson
I think it's significant, not only from the Chinese perspective but from the New Zealand perspective. I mean, we Chinese who live in New Zealand are, I think, you know, quite excited that he is going, and it's a significant event, because he is visiting China at an early stage of the new Chinese leadership.
SUSAN Yes, how important is it for our prime minister to meet this leadership? Because all things being equal, they will be there for some time.
ARTHUR A lot of it is symbolic. Chinese people set great store on face to face meeting, face to face contact. You know, it's not stuff that you can do over the telephone or now via the internet. So it's important, I think, that our leadership is there meeting the new Chinese leaders.
SUSAN And a prime minister and we're talking many ministers on this, they hold a lot of mana, don't they, in China? It really is an important thing.
ARTHUR Yes. Again, Chinese set great store on status, so having several cabinet ministers there indicates to them that, you know, New Zealand takes the relationship seriously and that we have so many people of status along on the delegation.
SUSAN How do we measure the success of a trip like this? We will no doubt have announcements of this bit of business and that bit of business, but how do we actually measure the success?
ARTHUR I'm not sure that it is immediately measureable. It'll be through, I guess, the goodwill of the Chinese government towards New Zealand. It's part of the on-going relationship that New Zealand has developed with China, I think. China has a fairly good benign view of New Zealand, and therefore I think, you know, we're fortunate to have Prime Minister Key go and visit so soon after President Xi has taken office.
SUSAN How deep, though, how real is that relationship? You look at our relationship with Australia, and we are very close. It's like cousins. America we're even very, very good friends with now. But how would you characterise the New Zealand-Chinese relationship?
ARTHUR I think it's warm. As the previous premier said, it's probably never been better. So I think it's a very strong relationship. I don't think we should underestimate how, I think, well regarded we are by the Chinese and the Chinese government, through some of the things that we've done in the past. You know, credit where credit's due. I think the Helen Clark government did a lot to, I think, encourage that relationship.
SUSAN They like the independent voice of New Zealand, don't they? They like the fact that we will walk our own path and not necessarily follow the Americans or anybody else.
ARTHUR Yes, I think that's very true.
SUSAN How much influence does that give us, that independent voice, in the Pacific, when we are poised at the bottom of the region -as we all know, the greatest growth region in the world?
ARTHUR I think it's important, because China regards New Zealand as being principled and having the spine to adopt a reasonably independent view, independent stance in international politics. Just because we haven't jumped to, say, the American's tune necessarily. And so I think China, you know, admires that degree of independence.
SUSAN Five years of FTA with China. The first in the world. Our exports have tripled to nearly $7 billion over that time. But are we doing enough? Are our businesses getting in there, investing and doing enough?
ARTHUR We could certainly do better. I mean, New Zealanders are very innovative. I think we're easy to get along with. We're very approachable. So, you can't measure, I guess, our success just in the immediate terms. I think we could do better in our relationships. New Zealanders, I think, have got to understand that they've got to persevere. We've got to realise that the whole world is beating a path to the door of China and, you know, people in China do not wake up in the mornings thinking about New Zealand. We have to be persistent. We have to be smarter. We have to play to our strengths. The things that we are good at doing, the products that we are good at producing.
SUSAN Maori. We have a lot of tribal settlements here. Dr Pita Sharples, again, going to China. Do you see some very real relationships developing between Maori, who have money and can do things with it, and Chinese?
ARTHUR Certainly. I know that the minister has already led two delegations to China. But one of the things that I think Maori maybe could look at is to look at doing business with some of the minority groups in China. I mean, the Han people are the majority, but there are 50-odd other minority groups in China, and some of them are quite significant and I think the Chinese leadership would quite like that. I think it's a nice story that the one indigenous group is doing business with another indigenous group.
SUSAN Why are New Zealanders so afraid of China? I mean, Americans can come and buy our farmland, the Australians can come and buy our farmland, James Cameron can come and buy whatever he wants to by - no one says peep. The Chinese come in and buy Crafar Farms and we are all up in arms about it. Why?
ARTHUR I'm not sure that we could say that all New Zealanders are afraid. I mean, segments of society, I think, maybe get a bit more strident when there is some aspects of Chinese investment. But I think by and large New Zealanders-
SUSAN Should we be worried about Chinese investment?
ARTHUR Well, I don't think it's particularly Chinese investment, but if we're going to have a debate about overseas investment, we should have a debate about all overseas investment. I mean, for example, all our banks are foreign owned, and billions flow out through our banks. You know, the percentage of farmland that Chinese own is tiny in comparison to Australian, American, United Kingdom and Dutch. So, you know, I think the Crafar Farms was an unfortunate point. But, you know, I think we're going to get over it. I think the Chinese understand that in an open democratic society that somebody can challenge the process, and it doesn't necessarily represent the view of all New Zealanders.
SUSAN Do we have anything to fear from China?
ARTHUR Not necessarily. I mean, no more than we have to fear from any major country that we do business with. I mean, it's a business relationship, so a business relationship, irrespective of who you are contracting with, there are always ups and downs. I think, as I said before, China has a fairly benign relationship with us. You know, China is a major power now, a major trading nation, so we've got to make the most of our opportunities. You know, New Zealand doesn't produce enough of its own capital. You know, we don't supply our own capital. So the only way we're going to get capital is through trading and doing business with other countries, and one of those other countries has to be China.
SUSAN Arthur Loo, thank you for your time this morning.
ARTHUR You're very welcome.

Research points to Kiwis becoming more connected
Research points to Kiwis becoming more connected
Find it hard to imagine life without your smartphone? Well consumer research shows you're not alone as new survey results from 2degrees give a glimpse into the changing lifestyle habits of Kiwis and their smartphones.
2degrees last month conducted a survey via Facebook of 357 smartphone users to find out more about the emerging smartphone habits of Kiwis. The results pointed to mobiles becoming a key part of people's lives with 85% of respondents agreeing that having a smartphone had changed the way they lived their day-to-day life and 82% saying they would never leave home without their smartphone.
So how many devices do Kiwis have already? 99% of respondents have at least two wireless networked devices (eg. a mobile phone and a tablet or laptop). Breaking that down, 42% of respondents have one mobile phone and one tablet, 24% of respondents have three devices. The survey's most connected respondent had 12 devices connected to the internet.
In addition almost 60% said they spent more time on their phone compared to six months ago and 65% spend more than two hours a day on their smartphone.
Voice calling and Maps/Navigation were the most commonly used features on smartphones with Facebook the most popular social network, used by 93% of respondents, with 36% checking Facebook more than 10 times a day.
When it comes to returning calls, most Kiwis prefer to keep their partner happy above others when given a scenario of four missed calls from their boss, Mum, partner and friend, and asked which they'd return first. 55% rated their partner, 23% rated their Mum, 20% rated their boss with only 2% saying their friend.
The research comes as global experts predict that by 2020 we'll all have 5-10 connected/networked devices – from glasses to watches, to shoes, to cars, with some speculating as many as 100 billion devices world-wide.
2degrees CEO Stewart Sherriff says: "It's all about IOT or 'Internet of Things' right now, which is adding connectivity and intelligence to just about every device. 2020 may sound a way off but 'wearable technology' is already here, we're already selling smartwatches in every one of our 2degrees stores on high streets nationwide. Globally, 64 million smartwatches are expected to be sold by 2016 and forecasts are that the 'Internet of Things' will become a multi-billion dollar industry."
84% of respondents were aged between 18-50 years old.

UK Traffic Law
Have UK Traffic Law Questions? Ask a Traffic Lawyer Online.
17 April.
Good point, yes, but I don't think any official council-run car park ever fail to mark up clearly when overnight timings change to daytime timings and regulations. I suspect that they are required to do so - just like a parking meter or any other council-run car park.
But the real point of my question is that I don't see that Car Parking Partnership have any statutory authority to raise these charges. There are no signs displayed that say this was private land: it is a parking lot for a shopping mall, but the one sign displayed makes no reference to any of these businesses, nor to who owns the car park.
OK, thanks. I'll take this one on the chin and pay up. Thanks for your advice. S

Anthony Warlow and Faith Prince to Premiere DIRECT FROM BROADWAY at Adelaide Cabaret Festival; Then Tour
Anthony Warlow, Australia's leading star of musical theatre and one of the world's most renowned stage performers, returns home this June with Tony-Award winner Faith Prince for an exclusive concert event titled Direct From Broadway. The Australian tour will premiere at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival on June 10, before going on to Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
For the first time in almost a decade, Australian audiences can experience the magic that only "Australia's first man of music theatre" can bring to the stage. Warlow will be accompanied by Faith Prince, his Broadway co-star who played Miss Hannigan from the critically acclaimed US production of Annie and a magnificent 30 piece orchestra under the musical direction of Alex Rybeck and the direction of Dan Foster.
This unique concert will feature music from some of musical theatre's greatest productions, including My Fair Lady, Annie, Fiddler on the Roof, Sweeney Todd, Guys and Dolls and Man of La Mancha.
Warlow's "exquisite falsetto" voice will seamlessly combine with Prince's compelling tones, described by the New York Times as "one-in-a-million". Direct From Broadway will be a truly unforgettable evening of music, a once in a lifetime event with two of musical theatre's brightest international stars.
"I had a glorious time performing on Broadway and it is wonderful to be home and bring some of the Broadway magic back to Australia," said Anthony Warlow. "Faith Prince was a wonderful co-star in Annie, and I can't wait to join her on stage and sing all our Broadway favourites."
Blessed with a thrilling voice, Anthony Warlow's versatility has enthralled Australian audiences ever since his 1981 debut with the Australian Opera at the age of 19 in Benjamin Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Recently making his Broadway debut as Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks in Annie, his lengthy stage credits include creating the role of Dr Yurii Zhivago in the Australian premiere production of Doctor Zhivago: The Musical (2011), the Australian tour of Annie (2000 and 2012), performing the title role of The Phantom of the Opera (1990 and 2007-2008), creating the role of Enjolras in the Australian production of Les Miserables (1988), and his musical theatre debut in 1985, playing the role of Sky Masterson in Guys and Dolls at the National Theatre in London.
Faith Prince established herself as a Broadway star with her portrayal of Miss Adelaide in the 1992 revival of Guys and Dolls, a role for which she won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical. Since then, she has also been nominated for Tony and Drama Desk Awards for her portrayal of Ella Peterson in the 2001 revival of Bells Are Ringing, and her feature in the 2008 Broadway musical A Catered Affair. Prince has also had an extensive film and television career with numerous appearances including Spin City, Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, CSI, Faith, House, Medium, Monk and Law and Order.
Adelaide Cabaret Festival Artistic Director Kate Ceberano says, "I'm thrilled that Daddy Warbucks himself, Anthony Warlow is joining the CabFest family for 2014 - he's the consummate performer and his beautiful voice will bring a touch of Broadway flair to the Festival Theatre. And to have Faith Prince - musical theatre royalty - joining him for this show is the cherry on top! We've got so many more superb artists lined up for this year's Festival and I can't wait to let the secrets out, stay tuned for the full program reveal in early April!"

7 Days Of Sex: Episode 5 Recap05/24/2012
All four episodes of '7 Days of Sex' have been massive successes so far, so I just had to tune in to episode 5 of '7 Days of Sex' to see if the lucky streak continued. In this new Lifetime reality series, two couples commit to having sex with one another every day for an entire week.
In Episode 5 of '7 Days of Sex' we watch two couples who struggle to keep the romance alive. The first couple is Joe and Nimisha who have been married for four years. They are trying to conceive a child and explain that they are maybe having sex every week or every other week. The doctor has recommended that they have sex every other night to increase the chances for conception. Joe has concerns that Nimisha doesn't take on enough responsibility around the house.
The second couple is Matt and April from Lewis, Texas. Matt and April have been married for 7 years, although they have known each other for a total of 17 years. They have a young son, and struggle with issues of control. Matt describes April as somebody who needs to be in control a lot, while April doesn't feel that Matt takes care of himself anymore.
Day by Day Summary of '7 Days of Sex' Episode 5:
Day 1: Nimisha meets up with her friends to tell them about the '7 Days of Sex' experiment. One of her friends tells her, "I think you're gonna be a little sore." Day 1 is a success for the couple, and Nimisha describes it as, "a goody but quickie."
Matt is concerned that April is always so focused on her job as a pharmaceutical representative. Night 1 is a success for the couple, but April immediately gets on a business call afterward.
Day 2: Joe does not feel that Nimisha does enough around the house, so he gives her a chore list. Joe is a highly successful car sales manager, and Nimisha lives a lavish lifestyle while he is away at work. Since Joe knew that Nimisha would struggle with the chore list, he hires a housekeeper to show Nimisha how the work is done. According to the hilarious narrator of the show "cleanliness is next to horniness" for Joe on Day 2.
Matt wants April to loosen up a little so he plans a nice family dinner, and tells April that she cannot take control. Their son ends up wearing pajamas to dinner, and April is worried what people will think. The couple has an incredible night in the "board room" (their term for the bedroom).
Day 3: Nimisha wants Joe to be less rigid and focused on work, so she takes him out to a nice French restaurant. She asks him to stay out late with her to go drinking and dancing. Nimisha describes it as, "A happy wife, a happy life." They have an outstanding night.
Matt takes April to a high ropes course so that she can relinquish control. Day 3 is a success, and April describes it as "getting easier."
Day 4: Joe gets Nimisha a crying, robot doll to see if she can really handle the challenges of caring full-time for a baby. She is simply not used to it, and leaves her robot baby on the kitchen counter. Day 4 is still a success, even with the crying baby lying nearby.
April takes Matt for a pedicure and manicure, and describes it as being a day for him. Matt wishes that April would have given him choices about things to do for his "special day." Day 4 is still a success as April kisses Matt's fresh, soft feet.
Day 5: Nimisha cleans the house as a surprise for Joe, who comes home to find spots on the floor. Nimisha gets upset because she tried so hard, and it was her first time mopping. Joe apologizes for focusing on the spots rather than the effort Nimisha put into it. Day 5 is a success, and then Joe just wants to go to sleep.
Matt asks April to try to pick him up at a bar in order for her to face a "challenge." The challenge does not turn out to be too difficult as April ties a cherry stem into a knot, and then asks Matt to go to their room together. Day 5 is a success!
Day 6: Matt and April enjoy the outdoors, and the fresh air really gets them both in the mood. Matt describes it as, "Wow! So good… so hot!"
Joe remembers how he and Nimisha used to fight a lot early on in the relationship. The fights would always bring about hot sessions, so Joe decided to "fake" a fight with Nimisha. The fake fight really got the two of them in the mood.
Day 7: 7 Days of Sex Recommitment Ceremony Vows
April – "I promise every night I will make 'us' time." April also promises to relax and let Matt take charge more often.
Matt – "I promise to focus more on my spouse, put her first." He also promises to get into better shape and to revisit the 7 Days of Sex experiment at least once a year.
Nimisha – "I promise to try to keep the house in tip top share… and when we have a baby I realize that you do work hard, and since I'm at home I will try to make it as easy as possible on you."
Joe – "I promise to be more spontaneous, more flexible, and less rigid… I promise to have sex every other night like the doctor recommended."

DNA evidence shows that two men charged with the fatal shooting of a rights activist in Chechnya did not commit the crime, her former colleagues said Thursday.
In addition, one of the suspects had actually fled the Russian republic shortly before the shooting, they said.
Natalya Estemirova, who collected evidence of rights abuses by security forces in Chechyna, was abducted on July 15, 2009 in the Chechen capital, Grozny. Her body, shot several times, was found the same day in a neighboring province.
Russian investigators said last year that two brothers who were members of an Islamist militant group killed Estemirova, who had implicated them in kidnappings of Chechen civilians.
One brother, Alkhazur Bashayev, was killed by federal forces four months after the killing. Another, Anzor Bashayev, fled to France and was granted political asylum. French authorities refused to extradite him in response to numerous requests from Russia, where he was charged with Estemirova's murder.
Memorial, the rights group Estemirova worked with, said it had obtained a DNA sample from Anzor Bashayev. The sample showed that neither he nor his brother had DNA matching samples of sweat found on Estemirova's clothes.
"There is no serious proof to really consider the version in which Alkhazur Bashayev is the main suspect in the killing of Natalya Estemirova," the group's leader, Oleg Orlov, said.
Shortly after the killing, Russian authorities said that they were investigating whether several police officers were involved in the killing. Estemirovaahad ccused the officers of publicly executing a man whose relatives were suspected militants.
Chechnya was ravaged by two wars between separatists and Moscow that started in 1994. Although major fighting between Chechen rebels and federal troops has all but ended, sporadic hit-and-run attacks and suicide bombings have continued.
Orlov said that Chechnya's leader Ramzan Kadyrov, a former Islamist militant who switched sides and enjoys Kremlin support, should be held accountable for Estemirova's murder.
Kadyrov is "directly responsible for the killing," Orlov said, "at least because an atmosphere of impunity and lawlessness has been created in the Chechen Republic."
The attorney for Estemirova's family, Roman Karpinsky, said that he has been denied access to investigation documents, including the testimony of the Bashayevs' cousin, Rizvan, who investigators said told them where to find the murder weapon and a fake police ID with Alkhazur Bashayev's photo.
Rizvan Bashayev has been in custody since Nov. 2009 and was charged with being a militant
Orlov's colleague, Svetlana Gannushkina, claimed authorities had deliberately attempted to mislead the public.
"What is going on is a fabrication of an investigation, not an investigation," she said. "But we cannot blame anybody without any proof."
Kadyrov, who had harshly criticized Estemirova's work, won two libel suits against Memorial but lost a recent criminal prosecution against Orlov for slander.
Memorial and other rights groups have accused Kadyrov's paramilitaries of involvement in abductions and extra-judicial killings of civilians and those suspected of ties of Islamic separatists.

Photos of Joel Madden With Harlow At Farmers Market In LA
Harlow Is a Daddy's Girl at the Market With Joel
Harlow Madden hugged Joel's legs at the farmers market in LA on Sunday. The two were out without Nicole, who has been laying low since the news broke on Friday that her former fiancé DJ AM was found dead in NYC. There were rumors that Nicole went into labor following the stressful and difficult situation, but her mother twittered that it wasn't true and Nicole apparently spent some time with Ellen Pompeo on Saturday. Even so, Joel was on Harlow duty for their Sunday outing as Nicole takes a break from being particularly public and the inevitable questions about Adam.

Treasury's "future of financial advice" reforms have come under renewed attack for failing to tackle the divisive issue of paid ratings research, which overseas regulators have blamed for contributing to the sub-prime debacle.
Critics of the government's policy claim that failing to ban financial product manufacturers paying for seemingly independent assessments of their products perpetuates a system that has contributed to bad advice, such as recommending the fund manager Trio Capital, which subsequently collapsed.
Supporters of the present system accuse critics of underestimating the market's sophistication in developing its own checks and balances and claim there is no need for additional regulation.
A spokesman for the Minister for Financial Services and Superannuation,
"We will be interested in the outcomes of their work," the spokesman said.
Investment ratings are intended to be an expert, impartial analysis and comparison for investors and advisers to establish the provenance and professionalism of a product they might consider recommending.
Mr Thomas said: "This would be akin to a wealth warning to unsuspecting investors whose default assumption is independence between product promoter and/or manufacturer and the adviser providing recommendations."
Anthony Serhan, chief executive of Morningstar Australasia, said the cost of investing in financial products would fall if product manufacturers no longer paid research houses to rate their investment products.
Ratings agencies are expected to be the targets of legal action being brought by investors and financial advisers against Trio Capital, with litigants alleging that they relied upon the analysis.
Standard & Poor's claims the manager-pays system boosts transparency because it makes the information available to all, rather than just a few subscribers.
Mark Hoven, an S&P analyst, said: "Users of fund research should move beyond simplistic assumptions and examine the processes that research houses use to maintain their objectivity and independence.
"Conflicts emerge in all business models," Mr Hoven said. "What is important is how potential conflicts are managed."
Craig Semmens, managing director of Lonsec, a research company that charges fund managers a fee to participate in its analysis process, said there were adequate checks and balances.

Expect Great ResultsIn desperation to get my melasma treated, I started using the Obaji C RX system both their cleanser and the Fxfoliating Day Lotion following up with a sunblock of 55 or -70.

A theatre group that has been inspiring Chippenham children to enjoy acting for more than 40 years might face closure because of a change of catering rules by the town council.
For the first time, Chippenham Hi-Lights will not be able to sell soft drinks and cakes at its annual pantomime in the Neeld Hall and risks losing up to £1,000 in revenue.
Hi-Lights producer Verina Vanzillotti said: "In the past we have always run our own stall selling tea, coffee, sweets and cakes but we received a letter from the town council saying it has now appointed a private person to run all catering.
"I can understand if we wanted a licensed bar to sell alcohol but we only want to do stuff that families want. It has always been a vital part of our income and I don't know if we will be able to survive without it. It could mean moving out of Chippenham or stopping totally."
Ms Vanzillotti has told families buying tickets for the production of the Wizard of Oz, which runs at The Neeld Hall from January 26 to February 2, to bring their own refreshments.
She said: "The only other income we have is the ticket price and we use that to cover our other expenses. It costs us £2,500 to hire the Neeld Hall. I tried to arrange a meeting with the town council to discuss the possibility of us being a special case as we do a lot to help so many children but they did not get back to me."
The group also holds a collection at each performance but this year the money is going to the Fibrosis Society, as long-term Hi-Lights backstage helper Roger Pentecost died in October, aged 56, after being diagnosed with fibrosis four years ago.
Ms Vanzillotti said: "We wanted to do something in his memory and to raise money for charity but the town council doesn't seem to want to do anything for us."
A council spokesman said it had appointed a private catering manager and he needed to make a profit.
She said: "The only exceptions to the rule is if something like a food fair is being held in the Neeld Hall. Otherwise the rule is the same for everyone."

I'm at the point in the development of my first dynamic website where I'm going back and forth between my local testing server and my site up on the Great World Wide Web. I successfully uploaded my "test" database from my computer up to the internet. My question, that I'm hoping someone can answer is how to I can go the other way. In particular, my internet database name is "kreut" while my local database name is "algebrabook". Is there a way that I can overwrite anything in my algebrabook database with my new entries that I put up on the web; both databases have the same exact table names and structures.
Thanks so much,
sure there's a way
extract the data from your web database, reformatting it if necessary into INSERT statements, then execute the sql file against your local database after having deleted all the rows in your local database
in mysql this is fairly trivial, because the dump utility program uses INSERT statements by default
what system are you using? i think i recall from one of your earlier threads that it's microsoft access, in which case you could just copy the entire .mdb file and overwrite your local file
Exactly what I' needed...and I think that you did in fact help me with a Query not too long ago!
PS it's MySql that I'm using.
FYI please note we have a Databases forum and a MySQL forum, and if you're using MySQL you really should post there -- the Databases forum is for all the others

Tango video calling demoed on Mango-based HTC Titan (video)
trick up its sleeve -- at least, a trick that'll be noticeable on HTC's looming Titan. Windows Phone Director Aaron Woodman -- the same Aaron that stopped by our own Engadget Show a few months back -- recently paused to show off a Tango video calling application on the aforementioned handset. We knew good and well that the front-facing Titan camera would be put to use by something, and now you know. 'Course, the "demo" looks pretty well scripted -- don't expect an accurate representation of video quality over a crowded 3G network -- but it sure serves to make the wait that much harder. Have a peek yourself just after the break.

DENVER—George Karl lost his star, his leader and nearly a third of his roster in the blockbuster deal that dismantled and disrupted his perennial playoff team.
The Denver Nuggets coach hasn't lost his exuberance.
Karl is relishing the thought of figuring out on the fly just how to put the pieces back together following the three-team swap that sent All-Star Carmelo Anthony and floor leader Chauncey Billups to the New York Knicks.
In spite of the shakeup, Karl vigorously insists the Nuggets can remain in the thick of the playoff hunt over the final 24 games of the season.

…is not above dressing down an opposing player with the occasional obscenity.
Or at least that was the case tonight, when, moments after Mark Recchi was called for boarding Ryan Hollweg, Sidney Crosby could be clearly seen calling Hollweg something I couldn't write on this blog.
Of course, this was also a night when Tom Renney was caught on TV mouthing something inappropriate at a Penguin. Good thing the game was on Versus, or someone might have actually seen it….
Meanwhile, the Rangers have had points in 10 of their last 11 games, and with sixth place in sight, Brendan Shanahan returns to the lineup on Wednesday. Where does he play? My suggestion: on the first line, with Jagr and Nylander.

Galapagos: Celebrity Xpedition Cruise Review by Mary Jane M
Overall Member Rating
Destination: Cruise to Nowhere
Embarkation: Other
We feel Celebrity Xpedition was a class act, as we were cared for every step of the way, any special needs were met. In the airports, we were met by a Guide holding a white sign with a blue 'X'!! Our luggage was taken care of, both incoming and outgoing. During the two weeks, the only time we were on our own was at the Lima Airport when returning to Miami. Machu Picchu will be covered in a separate page. More
Dgtr had an excellent Olympus Stylus 770, that took land stills and movies, together with terrific underwater pics (camera goes to 33 feet). She also had the silicone covering that made holding underwater easier. My Sony Cybershot H9 took excellent, true pics also - not underwater. I'm glad someone on this board suggested the Xpedition waist pack for holding cameras and other equipment that made getting in and out of the Zodiacs easier. Dgtr bought a great backpack at Target - lightweight with lots of pockets - and cheap.
Dinner took a very long time. The Maitre D' was very good and pitched in to help. When we knew our decisions about the next day's excursions, Dgtr and I went to the 6:30 pm dinner. Service was quick and a couple of times we were through eating and able to catch a good bit of the briefing.
Meds: We started Diamox and Pepto a day prior to our leaving Boston. I gave them up in a couple of days, but I think Dgtr continued for another day. After a few days, some people including Dgtr had stomach cramps and were just not feeling well. At that point, my bottle of Ginger Capsules made a few rounds. Dgtr did become ill and had to stay home from the two Darwin excursions. Dr. gave her bottle of Pedialyte, 2 Immodium tablets and another med that helped considerably. Also ordered some light meals. So glad to see Sharon up and about from her illness. When someone became ill in Machu Picchu, our guide told her to not drink OJ - perhaps the acidity.
Good sunscreen and bug repellant.
Clothes: Some people complained about shoes with side openings, because of sand. I had Merrell's that were closed on the sides, but mesh on top. Had Teva sandals for wet landings and a pair of slides for the plane and dinner. My personal experience with shoes was to have a good sole to deal with large and small lava rocks that are sometimes slippery. I took 2 pairs of slacks and 3 tops for dinner, 2 bathing suits, 3 pairs of shorts, 1 lightweight zip sweater with hood, 1 very lightweight rain jacket, Xpedition hat (available ship store), 3 cutoffs, 4 T-shirts. We took a little more than others, due to our extended trip.
Misc.: Snorkel and goggles - take your own, if you have them. Some of the ship equipment was defective and made snorkeling not easy. Several people used ship wet suits that were fine. Water was fine after the first dip. Toilet paper - necessary in Ecuador and Peru. Dgtr found small rolls that were easy to carry; small packs of Kleenex a good substitute. Sample bottles of dry soap. $$$: Ecuador uses USA money.
Hair dryer in the desk drawer I used for drying shoes and clothes. Take enough batteries, as I gave some extra AA's to a traveler. The ship only had AAA's. Internet was available but slow.
Dgtr's and my small knowledge of Spanish helped. One of our travelers spoke fluent Spanish. You may want to learn or brush up on this language. It did help, especially on land.
Penthouse: One traveler said it was not worth the extra $$; however, in our case it was perfect. The rooms gave us special time together, but afforded us our own space also. We moved the 2 sofas in front of the sliding doors. Re: beds: One room had twin beds that were put together to make a very comfortable dble. Twin beds in the connecting room could not be put together, due to a slight wall separation. Verandas were separate, but that was no problem.
Naturalists/Zodiac: The Naturalists were excellent and extremely knowledgeable. I do have a balance problem and shortness of breath and they willingly helped me. Even other travelers including Sharon's husband gave a helping hand or shoulder. Carlos took a walking stick for me, even though I did not ask for it. The Zodiac drivers knew their business in helping to get us in and out of the ship and at the excursion points. One or two days of rough seas proved their abilities.
Intensity excursions: One of the Naturalists told me that often times one can see more varied nature on the Low Intensity rides than offered on land at the same time.
Guests: From reading past input, I was surprised that the ages went from 7 or 8 (just a guess) to a woman, who was 87. The younger children seemed well behaved and enjoyed themselves.
Weather: We were very fortunate to have good weather - only a few drops at Darwin Station. A couple of days of rough seas that made ship walking unsteady. Less

Critical Redesigned Models Perform Well in Consumer Appeal
15 September 1999J.D. Power and Associates Reports: Redesigned Models Critical to Manufacturers Perform Well in Consumer Appeal
Industry Faces Challenges to Launch Vehicles AGOURA HILLS, Calif., Sept. 15 / -- Volkswagen, General Motors and Toyota (including its Lexus Division) have the greatest number of new vehicle models that consumers consider to be "most appealing," according to the J.D. Power and Associates 1999 Automotive Performance, Execution And Layout (APEAL) Study(SM) released today. The study is based on responses from nearly 88,000 new-vehicle owners and measures what excites and delights owners (or "things gone right") with their new-vehicle's features and design. Volkswagen's Jetta, GTI, Passat and Beetle rank highest in their individual car segments, while the BMW 3 Series and 7 Series capture the entry luxury and premium luxury segments, respectively. The Chevrolet Corvette tops the premium sports car segment. Among trucks, Toyota, Lexus and Honda models sweep the popular SUV segments. The Honda CR-V captures the mini-SUV segment, while the Toyota 4Runner and Land Cruiser top the compact and full-size SUV segments, respectively. The Lexus LX 470 ranks highest among luxury SUVs. General Motors' new truck entries, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, capture the top two positions in the high-volume, full-size pickup segment. The GMC Savana ranks highest among full-size vans. In addition, the Dodge Dakota continues its dominance in the compact pickup segment, ranking highest for the third year in a row. The newly redesigned Honda Odyssey is the top performer in the compact van segment. "Although new and redesigned vehicles tend to stand out from other models, our trend data shows that this phenomenon is decreasing," said Jacques daCosta, senior manager of product research at J.D. Power and Associates. "Successful new model launches will be those that attract consumers with a balance of innovative styling, new technologies, vehicle performance, and interior and safety features." The 1999 APEAL study comprises eight specific areas of vehicle performance and design, including more than 100 attributes that uncover what consumers like and dislike about their new vehicles. These areas include Vehicle Styling; Engine and Powertrain; Comfort and Convenience; Ride and Handling; Seats; Heating, Cooling and Ventilation; Cockpit and Instrument Panel; and Sound System. Headquartered in Agoura Hills, Calif., J.D. Power and Associates is a global marketing information services firm operating in key business sectors including market research, forecasting and customer satisfaction. The firm's quality and satisfaction measurements are based on actual customer responses from more than one million consumers annually.

Friskies Makes iPad Apps for Cats [VIDEOS]
Given how popular cats are on the internet, it's no surprise that Friskies — makers of delicious cat food (or so our cats tell us) for over 50 years — recently rolled out a line of tablet-based apps just for cats. Featuring movements, shapes and colors tailored to appeal to kitty's sensibilities, your feline friend can now download titles like 'Cat Fishing' 'Tasty Treasures Hunt' and 'Party Mix-Up' from the iTunes App Store and Android Market (if you don't mind a couple of scratches on your screen). Watch some cats test drive the apps below:

Mackie the Boston Terrier Loves Being Tickled [VIDEO]
As Della Reese once said in the 1996 Martin Lawrence classic of the same name, "It's a thin line between love and hate." Mackie the Boston Terrier clearly has some strong feeling about being tickled, but whether "Please sir, may I have another?" or "If you touch me again, I'm going to explode" is up for interpretation. Either way, it manifests itself with a series of delightful facial expressions the Mackie's owner caught on camera:
Anti-Tanning PSA Shows Women Burning Themselves With Waffle Irons and Toasters [VIDEO]
"Indoor tanning is out," says the Canadian Dermatology Association, who've placed tanning beds squarely in their crosshairs with a new web PSA that shows young women singing their skin with a clothes iron, toaster and waffle iron. Ouch. The CDA hopes these exaggerated examples of frying one's skin hammers home the dangers of tanning. According to their website:
10 America-Themed Songs for the Fourth of July
American popular music has been around since before America even declared its independence. 'Yankee Doodle,' anyone? That classic was sung by Colonial American soldiers as early as The French and Indian War.
Since then, our country has established one of the richest musical traditions in the world. Many songs even deal with America itself, from 'God Bless America' to 'God Bless the USA.'
Here's a list of 10 to add to your Fourth of July playlist.
Guy Narrowly Escapes Getting Hit by a Train [VIDEO]
There's no doubting the ease and creativity with which this gentleman avoids an oncoming train.

Popsicles Shaped Like Marilyn Monroe, Darth Vader and Other Famous Faces

Cutest Tune-Ups Ever – Four Cats Discovered in Cars by Mechanics [VIDEOS]
As cat owners know well, kitties like to curl up in any old warm spot: a ray of sunshine, the top of a radiator and, in the case of these curious cats, in the hoods and undercarriages of cars. Check out these auto-residing felines who made it out safely, thanks to some surprised mechanics.
Naked Australian Man Streaks Through Weather Report [VIDEO]
We don't know what it is exactly, but Australia has been having its fair share of great news bloopers recently. This video of a streaker running behind a 9News weatherman as he reports on the bitter cold temperatures in the mountain town of Katoomba (about 60 miles west of Sydney) is no exception. Be sure to pay close attention though: It's a quick streak and if you blink, you might miss it. In fact, given how cold it is, you might still miss "it" if he were standing there, stark naked, right in front of you. There's also a part of us that wonders if most Australians would even bat an eye at this sort of thing because if you've ever seen one of those "World's Funniest Commercial" specials, all the naked ones are from Australia.
Heavy Rains in China Create a Magical Floating City in the Clouds [VIDEO]
After days of heavy rain in China's Anhui Province, residents of Huangshan City were treated to a "mirage" that turned their cityscape into an ethereal scene, the likes of which are normally reserved for movies and fairytales. As the post-storm mist descended on the Tunxi section of the Xin'an River, large groups gathered to marvel at buildings and landmarks that appeared to float on the river surrounded by clouds.

Who is Affected By Domestic Violence
With one in four women victimized by domestic violence in her lifetime, each of us knows someone who has been affected, whether we know it or not. The survivor may be a family member, a coworker, someone who worships with you, a friend, or an acquaintance.
Domestic violence occurs in every culture, country, and age group. It affects people from all socioeconomic, educational, and religious backgrounds and happens in both same-sex and heterosexual relationships. Children are also affected by domestic violence, even if they are not abused or do not witness it directly.
The majority of victims of domestic violence are women, although men can also be victimized. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, women are 90-95 percent more likely to be victims of domestic violence than are men. Those men who are victimized include both men who experience intimate partner violence in gay relationships and men who are battered by a female partner.
Women with fewer resources or greater perceived vulnerability, including girls and those experiencing physical or psychiatric disabilities or living below the poverty line, are at the greatest risk for domestic violence and lifetime abuse.
Here are examples of how specific constituencies have been affected by domestic violence.
Immigrant Communities
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Community
Women with Disabilities
Elderly Women
Teens – with technology at their fingertips – are increasingly vulnerable to dating violence.
- Approximately one in three adolescent girls in the United States is a victim of physical, emotional or verbal abuse from a dating partner – a figure that exceeds victimization rates for other types of violence affecting youth.i
- One in five tweens – ages 11-14 – say their friends are victims of dating violence, and nearly half who are in relationships know friends who are verbally abused. Two in five of the youngest tweens, ages 11 and 12, report that their friends are victims of verbal abuse in relationships.ii
- Teen victims of physical dating violence are more likely than their non-abused peers to smoke, use drugs, engage in unhealthy diet behaviors (taking diet pills or laxatives and vomiting to lose weight), engage in risky sexual behaviors, or attempt or consider suicide.iii
- Technology has become a quick and easy way for stalkers to monitor and harass their victims. More than one in four stalking victims reports that some form of cyberstalking was used against them, such as e-mail (83% of all cyberstalking victims) or instant messaging (35%)iv. More and more teens are using these communication vehicles to stay in touch with one another.

Immigrant Communities
Fear is the driving force behind many immigrants' reluctance to report acts of domestic violence to the authorities.
- Reporting crimes and domestic violence to police or authorities generates fear of deportation, whether the immigrant is documented or not.
- Language and cultural barriers also serve as roadblocks to safety. As a result, some immigrant victims often don't know their rights, how to gain access to services, or how to work with police.
- Batterers exert control. Many deliberately give their victims misinformation about the laws. Abusers often keep control of immigration documents, and threaten their victims with deportation or loss of access to children if domestic violence is reported.v
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Community
The same issues of power and control can be present in the whole continuum of relationships, no matter a person's sexual orientation or gender identity:
- In a survey of men in gay relationships, the lifetime prevalence of domestic violence was 39.2%. And 22% of men reported physical abuse in the last five yearsvi
View the DCADV Fact Sheet about LGBT Domestic Violence.
View the Directory of Community Service and Domestic Violence Service Providers for the LGBT Community. This Directory was prepared by DCADV's Committee for LGBT Concerns. The service providers listed in the directory have self-identified as being LGBT "friendly" with a knowledge of domestic violence (updated November 11, 2008).
Women with Disabilities
Women with disabilities, including mental illness, and Deaf women are at greater risk for intimate partner violence than women without disabilities. Not only does their disability make them more vulnerable, the barriers to seeking safety can be higher.
- An abuser can utilize many tactics to keep a partner with disabilities under control. These range from manipulation of medication to refusal to help meet basic needs to destruction of adaptive equipment.
- Mobility and accessibility barriers may keep a woman with disabilities from leaving an intimate partner or reporting violence.
- Again, fear is a significant factor. Fear of losing independence and fear of losing vital support can keep a woman in an abusive relationship.vii
- Women with disabilities tend to stay in dangerous relationships longer than their counterparts without disabilities: 11.3 years versus 7.1 years in situations of physical abuse, for example.viii
DCADV is working to address this problem. In 2011 we began collaborating with the Center for Disabilities Studies at the University of Delaware and the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Delaware to increase awareness among individuals with disabilities and providers about the dynamics of domestic violence, and to connect them with services and supports using a Trauma-Informed Approach. At the same time, we are expanding the awareness among domestic violence service providers of the special needs and vulnerabilities of victims with disabilities, including those with mental illness. Read more about our Mental Health, Trauma, and Disabilities work.
Elderly Women
The challenge to assist elderly women facing abusive relationships may escalate as the "baby boom" generation begins to enter old age. Today, it is estimated that:
- More than one in ten women over 50 suffers from physical, sexual, or verbal abuse perpetrated by an intimate partner.
- Abuse of elderly women by their spouses is growing among the "over 60" demographic in the United States.ix
Advocates have identified two categories of domestic violence against the elderly:
- Domestic violence grown old – this is a pattern of violence that continues into old age.
- Late onset domestic violence – this begins in old age, and may be linked to challenges surrounding retirement, disabilities, new roles for family members, or sexual changes.x
- The symptoms are the same as those associated with physical or sexual abuse in younger women. Other characteristics of domestic violence against elderly women include:
- Injuries occur more often and become more severe over time.
- Victims often experience intense confusion and disassociation.
- The violence is preceded by periods of intense tension, which are followed by periods of apparent contrition on the part of the abuser.xi
View the DCADV Fact Sheet Elderly Victims of Domestic Violence.
Domestic Violence is a business issue that cannot be ignored. Many people facing domestic violence spend at least eight hours a day in the workplace. Domestic violence affects employee health and well-being, productivity, benefits, costs, and risk to employer. It is therefore important that employees who are victims or perpetrators and employers notice the signs and find ways of dealing with the situation.
The cost of domestic violence – both to victims and to our economy – is devastating. The cost to our economy is more than $8.3 billion, in health care, mental health services, and lost productivity.xii The National Institute of Justice found that the total yearly cost to victims of domestic violence is more than $8.8 billion.xiii

Environment Agency staff are restocking the River Stour near Kidderminster with young salmon or fry.
A spokesman said over the years there had been massive investment to improve the river's water quality.
"This is the first restocking of its type on the Stour and we look forward to the population thriving," he said.
Boost numbers
A decline in industry and improvements to waste discharge has seen a big improvement to the water.
Small numbers of salmon have been found further along the river, where it meets the Severn, and the agency hopes these numbers will be boosted.
"We are not planning to return the fish to the river to create an angling opportunity," the spokesman said.
Some of the fish have been tagged so their survival can be assessed.
