CR-V vs Escape
"Crash safety is one area where they failed."
At least they didn't score lower in the IIHS and NHTSA tests.
I took another look at the IIHS pictures http://www.iihs.org/vehicle_ratings/ce/html/photo_comp_smsuv.htm after reading Road and Track's online review of the 2002 CR-V. They tell us that Honda added some extra under-floor bracing to the 2002. When you look at the crash picture of the CR-V, it does not seem to have a bend in the roof like the Escape does and the back end seems higher off the ground.
I'm wondering if that might be a large part of what caused the big difference in the test? Could be a pretty simple fix for Ford if it is.
Details, it's in the details.I could have had
either loaded for the same price.My son works for
FORD and took me to a backlot where I could look at bunches of Escapes.The thing that sticks in my
mind is the carpet in the cargo area.It was not trimmed, just cut. A day long drive found it
lacking in low end torque,thirsty,noisy,and rough riding.In the end I had to ask myself,why is there
so many unsold Escapes,but so few unsold CRVs?
So I went with the crowd.
diploid Posts: 2,286I think the reason there are so many unsold Escapes is not because people don't buy them (cause they do), but because I'm sure Ford makes much more Escapes than Honda can make CR-V's, but the same number of buyers buy both SUVs.
But you're right, considering how very close these 2 SUVs are in basically every area, you just gotta nitpick at the details.
I believe the cargo carpet was trimmed and sewn in the 2001's. I guess they got a better deal on the untrimmed/unsewn carpet for the 2002 MY. The carpet edges tuck away underneath the surrounding moldings, so I didn't give it a second thought because I never see them any more.
I always thought the standard floor mats were a little cheap and off-color. I just might have to shell out the extra dollars for the fancy Escape logo mats.
I think you hit the nail on the head.
I expected the Honda to be better in fit and finish as well, but was surprised to find it was not. Of course, that is only with my experience.
Loaded is a subjective term as well. There are options available on the Ford that are not available on the Honda. Leather, being an obvious one.
Duck - Like I said, I can only compare to the 2000 CR-V. Against the 2000, there is no contest. That being said, the low end grunt the Escape has would be tough to match. I have no doubt that the Honda makes up for the initial lag by the time you reach 60, but from what I have read in previous posts, the Escape gets a lead early on and that would support what I am saying. I was always able to do those things in my CR-V, but I feel much more confident doing them in the Escape.
One thing I am curious about with the the new CR-V is the AC. I always thought the AC could be improved. Did Honda address that?
On my '02 EX, all the trim pieces fit perfectly - the first car I've owned where there was at least one trim piece that was not correctly fitted. My other cars have always had rattles and squeaks, sometimes very severe. The EX does not - there are some very minor squeaks on rough roads.
I can't compare the A/C with the previous generation CR-V since I didn't own one but the '02 works great.
Any V-6 should be more powerful than a 4-cyl. From what I've read, there is very little difference between the Escape and CR-V.
Changed the air filter in my Escape recently and it was a bugger. Make sure the housing is on completly, may feel like it but be sure to check for proper seal all the way around. The position of the housing makes it a bit difficult to ensure proper fit. If you don't get this on all the way your engine life may be short lived...:-))
Otherwise, my Escape at just over 12,000 miles runs like a champ, purrs like a kitten, pulls like an ox! I know I made the right choice..
Have you trained it to roll over?
(couldn't resist)
The CRV does exceed the Escape in the fit and finish (Edmunds use the term shoddy for the Escape) As for Leather, I don't want it, you stick to it in the Summer and the CRV comes standard with side air bags and ABS that are options on the Escape of similar price.
ABS is standard on the XLT and you don't stick to the leather in the summer. I know this because it is summer now, I wear shorts quite often, and I have an XLT with the leather. Although, it's not exactly the highest quality leather which may help in that situation.
I stand corrected, you are right the ABS is standard. But I still don't like the leather interior (personal preferance).
I didn't think I would either. Our Escape was the only one that rolled off the truck that wasn't pre-sold, so we didn't have much choice and didn't want to wait. I've really grown to like the leather for some reason. Maybe it's the smell or something.
Surprisingly, the leather is great when you have a two year old, especially if it is a dark color.
If you do not like leather, then the fact Honda does not offer it is a non-issue, but there are plenty of folks that do want leather and I think it is too bad that Honda waits until they need something to keep sales high before offering it.
Where does Edmunds say the 2003 Escape interior is shoddy? The quote I saw was:
"A very capable small SUV thanks to its powerful V6 engine, spacious cabin, handsome looks and car-like handling. One of our favorites."
I specifically mentioned that they were equal in my experience. In my case, like duck, I have no trim problems. I admit to being surprised. I expected to have some.
The CR-V is a nice vehicle. I liked mine. My neighbor just got a new one and it looks very nice. Wish they would put some bigger wheels on them though.
Have you trained it to roll over?
No training is necessary. It's like the mammalian diving reflex - they're just born with the ability! ;-)
SUVs; Aftermarket & Accessories
Are you saying that the Escape knows how to roll over by instinct? Or, if I may bend your words a little, it rolls over better than others? Who's side are you on anyway?
Don't mind me, it's Friday and I'm itchin' to leave work.
I'm just having a little fun! Have a great weekend.
SUVs; Aftermarket & Accessories
Both the CRV and Escape have a shift lever on the dashboard but I prefer it on the floor and with
a manual shift mode.I would not consider the CRV fun just functional.Nobody has created a sportscar
with lot's of room for hauling stuff yet and that's too bad.A 5 speed CRV is in high demand
but even harder to find so I guess the 2003 Forester with a 5 speed would be next choice.
The new Infiniti G35 would be cool if it was in a
station wagon for under $30k.If you are rich you can get a Volvo Turbo but turbos have lag.
"Nobody has created a sportscar
with lot's of room for hauling stuff yet and that's too bad"
The closest thing you'll find is the Volkswagen GTI...a sporty car with quite a bit of cargo room when you fold the seats down....it's a sports-box. Until someone starts releasing "tuner" parts for the Escape and CR-V.
I go away for a couple of days and return to read a response to my post. Well, let me explain again. My question was why would Ford develop a new SUV based on a 96 platform? Yes the CRV at that time was ahead of the competition but I have a hard time understanding a company that uses safety measures that were at least 3 years old (at the time) and matches them instead of surpassing them knowing that Honda changes models often. Now it can barely compete with the Sportage and even that is going to change models (based on the Santa Fe) in a couple of months. You guys gloated over a back bumper glitch for a while but I think that there are more serious issues you should be concerned about.
If you would please re-read my post you will notice where I said twice that I did not think that the CRV could compete with the Escape in acceleration. I can't understand why you would say that you find it funny that us "Honda Guys" like to think that our "little 4" is faster. I never did because I have had experience (bad!!!) with a Tribute and I also think that it is definately faster BUT.......not by much to merit a trophy!!! For a 40hp difference, it should blow it away but it doesn't now does it? How is that? Your an engineer so explain it to me.
Gearing, the Escape can tow 3,500 lbs and has more GVWR and maxpayload.. Escape V6 is an advantage
Also uses more gas and stalls a lot! Nice try...........still does not answer my question as to why acceleration is only a half second off with a 40hp difference. Your reasoning is not one of an engineer! My chum told me that when he tried to pull 3000 pounds the truck felt like it was going to come apart and he had all the bells and whistles for towing. I don't think they were made to really pull that much long distance. He now owns a Pilot and it pulls no prob BUT that is in a different league now isn't it?
a typical Honda drone response..
Gearing does make a difference. The Escape is more of a truck.. more towing, hauling, more payload, more maxpayload, more GVWR.
Also looks like the Escape wins in Sept. motor Trend comparo! Yikes, this is going to make you Honda drones mad..
I tow my two jet skiis and trailer/gear just fine in my Escape, solid as a rock! don't go there with the Pilot towing capabilities.. they are WEAK when comparing like vehicles in this class.
Also, if Honda were so perfect and advanced why didn't they fix the rear tires weakness issue in crashtests? from model 2001 to 2002?
Scape, I have a rebuttle with the towing debate.
According to other countries other then North America the towing capacity for the 2002 CRV is 1500 Kg's which is 3307 pounds! Yahoooo! All CRV's are the same not matter where you go in the world, except some places have the smaller engine.
click on CRV, then specifications!
Just because Honda America has a bunch of conservative engineers, where Ford lacks the later, doesn't mean the CRV isn't capable of hauling as much as the Escape.
Nice try dave.. Your telling me Honda chose not to say the CRV could tow 3K because of a bunch of conservative engineers! LOL! C'mon your reaching for straws here. If Honda had the choice to say the CRV could tow even 2,500 lbs they would. Where is the trailer hitch? Look at the numbers Dave, 160HP/160ft/lbs of torque, look at your torque curve. I already loaded an automatic CRV down with 4 adults and about 3-400lbs of gear. NO-way the CRV could handle an additional 3K. The vehicle gasped, rasped, hunted for gears and barely made it up MT Hood HWY 26 and maintained even 50MPH.. The CRV doesn't have the gearing, GVWR or frame to tow 3K.
I wonder why Motor Trend decided to test a 5spd CRV against automatics.. Maybe they wanted to CRV to at least win one category LOL! :-))
Insurance regulations are stricter here. It wasn't the engineers that decided to not allow the CR-V to tow less...it was the accounting and legal departments. People make SO much off of lawsuits here, that car companies (under orders from insurance companies) have to make really really REALLY sure cars are capable of what they say.
As a direct example, the Escape could probably be rated to tow over 5000 pounds in Europe or Austrailia, but that's just a guess on my part. Anyone have any firm numbers?
The whole point is, the Escape is still stronger in the towing department, due to stronger engine, stronger chassis, and stronger suspension. So no matter what country you go to, sell the Escape and CR-V side by side, and the Escape will have a higher rated towing capacity. Well, except for Japan, where everyone knows that the government there gives a leg up to Japanese manufacturers.
Scape, back up your argument with some substance, like npaladin2000.
npaladin2000, I took the liberty to look up the escape in the same country that I linked the CRV to in my last post. The CRV is rated at 1500 Kg's and the Escape is rated at 1600 Kg's.
Click on passenger vehicle, then escape, then specifications, then fact sheet.
Each company has to buy insurance for itself on the grand scale. Honda America has always been far more conservative the Ford has been.
Just for reference, that 1600 kg is 3527.40 pounds, so the Escape can tow more than the CR-V too, which can only tow 3306.93 pounds (and no, I can NOT see a 2.4 liter 4 cyl towing that much, no mattert how much torque you Honda lovers say it has). That's a 200 pouund difference in US measure. You also have to realize that in kg, the tendency is to round to the nearest 100. However, in the US, the tendency is to round to the nearest 500, i think...unless someone knows of a tow rating that's not a factor of 500. There's probably one around somewhere.
npaladin2000, who would have though that a 4 cylinder would be comparable to a v6 in regards to acceleration? You are right about rounding numbers they way you stated. Essentially when rounding Kg you are rounding in bathches of 220 pounds instead of the American way of rounding 500 pounds. So, foreigners have a more accurate way of showing the costumers the towing limit of the vehicle.
I am sure everyone is aware of this, but just to make sure.... a straight 4 cylinder has four independent cylinders. The V6 has three pairs of cylinders that are joined together. Not, the same thing as a straight 6 which has 6 independent cylinders. So the V6 falls somewhere between the straight 4 and the straight 6. So, yes the v6 is made to be stronger then the 4, but not as much as one might initially deduce.
varmint Posts: 6,326Folks, there is no set standard for how a manufacturer reports towing capacity. For example, the numbers that Honda publishes are for a fully loaded vehicle (four passengers and their luggage). However, the numbers used by the big 2.5 are often with only a driver in the vehicle. I haven't found a source which gives specific information on either of these vehicles.
types of vehicles over the years. The 2.4 has 160HP and 161ft/lbs of torque to pull the weight of the vehicle. Add passengers, gear and you add upwards of another 1200-1400lbs, now add another 3K! to that 4cyl, no-way, no-how. Keep trying to justify dave in your mind. The Escape tows more than the CRV bud...3,500lbs vs 1,500lbs.. The main point here is the V6 is much stronger than the 4cyl in the CRV.

I would say it's an infringement.
I'm not at all sure where the SCOTUS will come down on the issue, though.
In southern states, even though they might not have one-gun-a-month laws, you're at risk of becoming a suspect if you buy several guns at a time. ( http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=365460 )
I'm not sure which is worse... laws that forbid us from buying multiple guns at a time, or overzealous law enforcement treating people as suspects for buying multiple guns at a time...

I usually can't afford to buy one month
in the serious side, Is it an infringment? Morally, I think yes. BUT, legally? Hard to say. The SCOTUS decision in Heller ruled that outright prohibition was a violation of our rights, but some regulation was not.
Restricting citizens to one per month clearly does not deprive them of the abilty to have a handgun for personal defense (after all, once you buy the first one, your rights are exercised), but the 2nd Amendment doesn't say deprived or denied, it says infringed.
Until/unless a court says its void, it is the law, for better or worse.
All else being equal (and it almost never is) bigger bullets tend to work better.

Suppose your family who haven't been gun owners, suddenly faces a threat. What if your family needs two or three guns right away? I could imagine a number of exigent scenarios where that might be the case. You have a stalker, or a threat has been made against a family. A sixteen year old can't buy his or her own gun, but some 14-17 year olds might be trustworthy enough, and responsible enough, and well trained in the use of firearms to defend themselves, should the need arise.
If such exigent circumstances existed, and if my 16 year-old daughter were home alone for even a short while before I arrived home from work. I would want to make damn sure she had the training, and the means to fend off an attack.
Whatever the reason, having the government decide how many guns I may immediately purchase for the defense of hearth and home seems to me an infringement.

SCOTUS has ruled that any scheme that requires a citizen to pay any fee, tax or toll or requires "permission" from the government to exercise a right is prior restraint of the right. That means your "right" is only valid when the government authorizes it -- which is no right at all.
Paying a tax or fee before voting is prior restraint. Requiring a permit to peaceably assemble violates the constitution.¹ The government can't charge you for witness subpenoas in a criminal trial.
Limiting the exercise of any right to some arbitrary time frame is a violation of the right.
In practical terms, a citizen becomes the target of some kind of violence or threat of violence. As one step in providing for his safety, he purchases a handgun. Shortly after that purchase, the threat expands to his wife and/or family members. He gives his wife the new handgun and decides to buy two more, one for his minor daughter and one for himself. Yet, the State has decided that he cannot do so out of an unfounded fear that he will traffic those guns illegally.
Rights may not be restricted based on what a citizen might do with those rights. Limitations can only be imposed on specific acts or actions that injure others or by their nature are highly likely to cause injury to others.
For example, we do not have laws that say you may not yell in a crowded pubic venue. That would make it illegal to yell "Popcorn!" to the vendor at a ball game - indeed it would make football games as quiet as tennis matches. But we do have laws that prohibit yelling certain words or phrases in crowded public venues - ones that would instill a panic -- "fire" "bomb" "Gas" etc.
SCOTUS has said that the right to arms is a fundamental right of Americans. Allowing the government to restrict the exercise of that right to some arbitrary time limit is repugnant. If deemed permissible then other "rights" could likewise be restricted -- only one editorial opinion per month; Rush Limbaugh limited to monthly comments; Chris Matthews could only criticize Republicans once a month. You only get to invoke your 5th Amendment rights once a month. Few people would tolerate such blatant trampling of their rights.
This does not mean that the government can't require you to fill out several tedious forms in order to buy two or more guns at a time. But they cannot limit you to exercising your right arbitrarily.
¹ Other laws may apply that require permits, such as sanitation requirements for large public gatherings, permits for amplified sound equipment, etc.

I would love a one gun a month club! What a great way to explain my addiction to my wife. BUt sweetheart, I HAVE to buy a gun every month, it's the law!
The only thing is I can never remember to return those Do Not Send card, so I would end up with multiple copies of some offbeat firearm that are automatically sent. Like a bunch of Llama .45, French Chauchaut, Persian musket, Lorcin .25 and the like. BUT, if I could get 4 firearms of my choiice for one cent each just for joining, then maybe ...

While it's true that gun runners are already violating a couple of laws and will violate another, this law is different from those two.
The law about straw buying only affects buyer and seller, and we know we won't stop them with a law.
The law about crossing state lines only affects the seller, again we won't stop him.
The law about one a month affects seller AND FFL DEALER, who the govt has by the short hairs.
I can imagine that if I had a little business where I bought some guns and took them to a more restrictive place and sold them, I would be unhappy to see this one gun a month law, as my FFL dealer would no longer be allowed to sell me my inventory.
As it is, like most of you, I can't buy a gun a month anyway, so it can be said that the law doesn't really hinder law abiding people.
In other words, they have a point with this law, and it's not a nonsensical one, and we have to address it.
We can argue that the databases required to keep track of who bought what are an infringement.

If the law was raised to 2 handguns a month...would that make your venture so much more worthwhile?
Cause if you were buying 20-30(which you seem to suppose is the law's intent) a month...you would most likely already be on someone's radar.

BillCA, I suggested that the Supreme Court would not find a one-gun-per-month law to be an "unreasonable restriction." I did not suggest that I agreed with that. I also suggested that an individual would have to show that the law caused him to suffer some loss of a constitutional right in order for any of the federal courts to even have jurisdiction to hear the case. The Supreme Court is not simply going to point to an existing law and say "foul!"
My state has just passed the one-gun-per-month law, to go into effect in January. At least three other states have such a law in place already, and none of the federal courts, including the Supreme Court, have found it to be constitutionally void.
Back in the late '90's, NJ gun rights groups tried to challenge NJ's assault weapons ban to the Supreme Court. Our case was rejected. I believe the same will happen if we try to challenge one gun per month laws to the Supreme Court.
Your comments about restraint of rights, government abuse, and limits on how many times per month a person can invoke other rights are appreciated, but purely academic.
I'm not afraid of the guy who wants many guns; I'm afraid of the guy who wants just one.

I really hope they'll attack NY's Sullivan Law soon. Needing a may-issue license that you have to wait 6 months to a year to apply for then another 6 months to a year to get, after paying over $100 plus training courses, then having judge issued permit coupons for each and every pistol, sure doesn't seem like anything constitutionally permissable to me.

I'm glad you don't agree that a 1-gun-a-month scheme would be legal. Because it isn't.
Constitutional rights cannot be legislated away nor restricted by legislation alone. To lose or restrict any of your rights, you must first have due process before a court.
Legislating that you can only attend a place of worship once-a-month is prior restraint on a fundamental right. It is the same with the 2A right.

Average Rating
"This turkey burger is the best burger I've ever eaten. Forget the traditional hamburger. This burger tops any restaurant style burger any day of the week."
"We have these burgers about once a month, always great reviews from everyone (even the kids and die hard beef lovers). I substitute out the Swiss for provolone, and husband makes a fantastic aioli sauce to go over them as well, adding another layer of flavor."
"My favorite ground turkey recipe."
"These are awesome! My family loves them. I use Italian style breadcrumbs for more flavor."

That coveted first Foothill League win of the season can sometimes be the toughest one.
Even the two-time defending league champion West Ranch Wildcats boys basketball team learned that on Tuesday night in a 56-52 win over Saugus at Saugus High School.
West Ranch (8-11 overall, 1-2 Foothill League) made two crunch-time baskets in the final 1:31 to break a 50-50 tie and hold off a Saugus Centurions team that fell to 0-3 in league play.
"It's been tough. We've had a hard schedule," said West Ranch guard Alec Rodriguez. "There's no doubt we should have won (last week's) game."
The Wildcats were coming off narrow losses to Hart and Canyon a week earlier, and although they led most of the way on Tuesday night, Saugus (9-12, 0-3) wasn't ready to hand it over.
With the score tied at 50, Rodriguez made go-ahead floater via an accurate pass from Ryan Beddeo coming off a timeout. That put the Wildcats in front 52-50 at the 1:31 mark in the fourth quarter.
"We just wanted to get the ball in the paint and get the best shot we could," said West Ranch head coach Shant Bicakci of the play. "We didn't want to be picky."
Following a pair of Saugus missed free throws, West Ranch extended its advantage to 54-50 with a Anthony Austin layup with 30 seconds to play.
West Ranch was eventually able to put the game away despite making just 5-of-14 foul shots.
On the other end, Saugus made 12-of-20 free-throw attempts in the game and 4-of-8 in the fourth quarter.
"They just executed on there (plays) and we missed ours," said Saugus senior guard Jacob Tobon, who scored a game-high 17 points.
West Ranch distributed its points all around, with Jon Semerjian's 10 leading the way.
After that, Beddeo had nine points and five assists and Rodriguez, Izayah Doyle and Ryne Williams all added eight points apiece.
"That's when we play our best," Rodriguez said of the spread-out scoring.
Early in the game, both teams had trouble hitting shots and finishing at the basket.
Saugus led 9-8 after a sluggish first quarter, and the teams swapped leads in the second with West Ranch taking a 28-22 upper hand into halftime following a buzzer-beating putback by Alex Weichel.
That was the biggest lead for either team at any point in the game.
Overall the Centurions made 36 percent of their shots. After Tobon, Amir Mirtabatabaie and Caleb Grisanti each scored 11 for Saugus, including Grisanti's game-tying layup with 2:16 to play.

I've always been more of a fan of John Williams style of scoring, where the film can be told by simply listening to the music. Music sets the tone for everything and backs up all of the action, drama, and intensity (or lack thereof sometimes). The works in the Transformers movies never left me with any kind of impact at all. It felt, to me, as if you could copy and paste that music into any action movie, and it would fit...because it has a very generic feel to me. That's an opinion. Not an ignorant dismissal.

Toxicology reports show a bank robbery suspect died of a heart attack, with a contributing factor of cocaine toxicity.
Ocala police have received toxicology results from a case late last year where a bank robbery suspect was found dead shortly after the hold up.
Detective Mark Hoover said Christopher Allen, 44, died of a heart attack, with a contributing factor of cocaine toxicity.
The Ocala Police Department received the report from the Medical Examiner's Office.
Hoover said that at the time of the initial investigation, he was not aware of any past drug use or medical conditions with Allen. At the time of Allen's death, officers said there was no trauma to his body, which was found less than a mile from the bank at the back of Fox Meadows subdivision by a woman walking her dogs.
Police say that on Nov. 30, 2009, they received a call from Florida Citizens Bank at 4201 E. Silver Springs Blvd. that they were being robbed.
A man, later identified as Allen, entered wearing a mask and clad in dark clothing, carrying what appeared to be a handgun. Holding a black Publix bag, he jumped the counter and demanded money from a teller. After receiving cash, he fled.
During their investigation, officers received a call from Pat Portwine telling them she had seen a person lying on the ground.
Portwine told the Star-Banner during an interview a day later that as she approached the end of Northeast 38th Avenue, which dead-ends into a retention pond, she saw a person a few yards from the wooded area. She said she cautiously approached, then returned home, got her cellphone and walked back to the area and called 911.
Detectives said the person and clothing matched the descriptions given of the bank robber.
They recovered the bag, which contained $1,805, the mask and the weapon, which turned out to be a pellet gun. Allen's fiancee, Diane Piper, told the Star-Banner the day after his death that they were being evicted from the two-bedroom home they shared with a roommate, and she could not understand why he would rob a bank.
She said he woke up like any other morning, fixed breakfast for her and their roommate, hung around for awhile and left. She said he worked odd jobs to make ends meet.
She could not be reached Wednesday for comment..

Kanawha County officials are trying to figure out what's responsible for a recent spike in the bill for housing prisoners at the South Central Regional Jail.
The county's jail bill jumped more than $75,000 over the past three months, financial records show.
According to county records, the jail bill was about $278,000 in December, about $283,000 in January, about $279,000 in February and about $316,000 in March. In April, the jail bill jumped to about $340,000, and went up to $394,000 in May.
June's jail bill, received recently, is almost $404,000.
Kanawha County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Plants said most of the increase in the bill is probably because of normal seasonal fluctuations. "Usually, summer is when more crimes are committed," he said.
A review of the county's jail bills going back to 2006 shows the bill tends to go up during the summer, usually starting around March or April. July and August tend to have some of the highest bills, records show.
But even taking into account an uptick in crime with warmer weather, county officials are still concerned about the recent rise in the jail bill. April's bill this year is lower than April of last year and April of 2012, but May's bill is more than $36,000 higher than last year.
And the $404,000 jail bill for June is the highest of any year dating back to 2006. Records show the jail bill for June of last year was about $381,000; the bill for June 2012 was about $370,000 and the bill for June 2011 was about $375,000.
The jail bill for the month of June was less than $350,000 in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2010. The bill for June 2009 was about $357,000, county records show.
"I think it's due to a lot of things," Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper said of the increase. It falls to the County Commission to pay the jail bill when it comes in every month.
Carper said part of the increase may be because judges aren't taking advantage of alternative sentencing options that keep offenders out of jail. While the county's circuit judges often use alternative sentences like home confinement, Carper said county magistrates are less likely to.
He also said there are more drug arrests being made in the county. "We've got a drug crisis around here, if nobody's been paying attention," Carper said.
Even so, the jail bill could be a lot worse. Shortly after taking office in 2009, Plants began a concerted effort to rein in the jail bill. Plants tried to speed up indictments so defendants spent less time in jail before trial, and tried to streamline sentencing.
Once a prisoner is sentenced, the state picks up the tab for their jail stay.
After state officials raised the daily cost of a jail stay, county officials started a second round of cost-saving procedures that included transferring some misdemeanor cases to Charleston Municipal Court. After noticing several errors in the jail bill, county officials also started closely auditing each month's bill to make sure there were no mistaken charges.
Plants says the cost-saving measures have saved the county millions of dollars since he took office, including about $570,000 over the past year.
"All of our procedures and cost savings remain in place," he said.
Carper isn't sure what more can be done to keep jail costs down.
"It's almost academic," he said. "They're in jail and we have to pay the bill."

"Search for the XML Superstar" contest
You may have heard about this contest in my DB2 on Campus presentations in China, ASEAN, and India. The "Search for the XML Superstar" contest is now a reality in Turkey, Lithuania, China, India and ASEAN. In India it is used as the theme of this year's TGMC contest (http://www.tgmc.in/). In ASEAN they have announced the contest recently (asean.xmlsuperstar.com), and in China, the contest is now running for a few months (http://www.dbacontest.net/). But rather than checking out each of these web sites individually, you can log on to xmlchallenge.com and choose the country of your choice. The site will be live this October 1st, when the International DB2 User Group (IDUG) officially announces the "Search for the XML Superstar" contest in the United States.
As I've been saying in my presentations, XML is the foundation for many of the technologies of the present and future. It is shaping the way data is stored, exchanged, analyzed, transferred and processed. Participate in this contest and become the XML superstar!.
Note that the contest has several categories, so even if you are an XML or DB2 novice, you can participate!. The five categories are: XML application programming, ported applications, database gadgets, videos and query challenge. Contestants will participate in a combination of education, exposure to practical applications and "tests" that will validate understanding and ability to program IBM database technologies. Entries will be judged by an independent panel of DB2 professionals.
In terms of prizes, you could receive an all-expense paid trip to an IDUG conference, a Segway i2 personal transport system, a new laptop, an iPod, a Sony PlayStation 3 or a Nintendo Wii system!. For students you may also win opportunities for interviews and IBM lab visits.
Participate and be the XML superstar!

DB2 on Campus in India
On Tuesday I visited Anna University in Chennai (picture below) and delivered a 3-hour presentation to almost 150 students. On Thursday I visited Truba university in Bhopal ("The city of lakes"), and there were also more than 150 students and 5 teachers (Picture to the right). I'm receiving several applications from students now who want to become DB2 Student ambassadors. On Friday, I had a very fruitful meeting with IBM India colleagues. IBM India is doing a great job to reach to universities and give them access to IBM software. They started the TGMC (The Great Mind Challenge contest) a few years ago, and now they are running it every year with a huge amount of students participating. This year's main theme for TGMC is to become the "XML superstar" taking advantage of DB2's unique pureXML technology. The DB2 on Campus DVDs containing the free book and videos have been well received in India, and IBM India will reproduce it locally and use it for TGMC.
Though it was a short visit, I do plan to return to India again. I see a "can do" attitude in almost every student I meet in India. This is also the attitude IBM India has, and they are eager to execute a program I presented to them on the Friday's meeting.

DB2 on Campus faculty training successfully ends in ASEAN
In Thailand (picture on the left) I held two sessions to 31 teachers from 10 universities. Several teachers were very interested in the pureXML unit, and planned to incorporate it in his/her courses. Both in Vietnam and Thailand there were sessions held on Saturday and Sunday to fit professor's schedules.
Next stop: India!

THESE are sad days for Egypt. Its year-long struggle to have a better system of government has been dashed to the ground with the swearing-in of Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Mursi as president.
The Muslim Brotherhood is the Taliban in disguise. The members of the party may wear western clothes and have shorter beards, but deep in their hearts they are as fanatic as the Taliban. I know this because I have rubbed shoulders with a lot of their sympathisers during my long stay in an Arab country.
From the very start of its movement, I have never been sure of its success. If you look at the recent history of the country, the Egyptians have never made a right choice.
Let us for a moment look at their defeat at the hands of Israel in the 1967 war. After the Israeli army made Gamal Nasser's forces bite the dust in less than a week, Nasser accepted responsibility and announced his resignation. He had hardly finished reading his prepared statement on the radio when millions of Egyptians took to the streets of Cairo, shouting 'Nasser, Nasser come back, we love you.'
The Egyptians as a nation are emotional people. They can be easily manipulated by a cunning player like Mursi. For almost six decades, three military dictators have ridden them roughshod and they have been very thankful for that all along, until the Tunisians rose up against their own dictator.
Only then they realised that they have been taken for a ride for so many years and they were not aware of it. But this late knowledge hasn't helped them much and another shrewd bunch of manipulators have been waiting in an ambush and there everything has ended up in zilch.

Earlier this year, dog lovers were shocked to learn that Outdoor Adventures in Whistler slaughtered 100 sled dogs [3] due to a downturn in the economy. When Lisa Wogan covered the story, she wrote that inhumane treatment of sled dogs isn't as uncommon [4] as we might like to think.
With all of the bad press that came out of the mass euthanasia, Outdoor Adventures is now looking for foster or adoptive homes for 35 dogs [5] that they are retiring. If you can help, contact Paula at the Whistler Animal Shelter [6]: email@example.com [7] or 604-935-8364.
It's important that people only respond with offers to help and refrain from attacking Outdoor Adventures. Sled dog advocates want to encourage more companies to work with rescue groups to adopt out unwanted dogs.
What happened earlier this year was a tragedy, but thankfully Outdoor Adventures has learned to be more humane in how they treat their retiring dogs, whether they were forced to or not. Given the media attention that this tragedy has garnered, I hope that treatment of sled dogs will improve and that more companies will follow Outdoor Adventures' example.

text: Politics 20 February 2009 The David Miliband interviews Sign up for our weekly email * In extracts from his exclusive interviews with the New Statesman, David Miliband talks about his childhood, the current state of British domestic politics, and his outlook on foreign affairs. A former head of the Prime Minister's Policy Unit, the Foreign Secretary shares his thinking on the current economic crisis, inequality and redistribution, and David Cameron's leadership of the Conservative Party. On international affairs, he ranges across the impact of the attacks of 11 September 2001; the UK's involvement in Afghanistan; the importance of Anglo-American relations and the need for Britain to remain a strong player in Europe. He also offers his thoughts on anti-Semitism on the left, in the wake of a recent article by Jonathan Freedland in the Guardian. David Miliband on: Work-life balanceI believe in work hard and play hard... maximise the amount the work you do while you are away to minimise the time you are away... thinking about policy, about people, about communication, about alliances, events... On self-imageVery happy to admit that my brother is better than me at everything. You can't be concerned about your image then you are self-obsessed. But if you think you are right about everything, you are wrong as well. It's a balance. Much more concerned about the image of the Labour Party than I am about my own image. On childhood and family lifeMy memories of my childhood are about school and friends not about discussions of the Hegelian dialectic. We had a very small family, with a relatively small extended family. The four of us at home were very close, very supportive. My mother was a very important influence on me, not just my father, my mother... she kept the whole show on the road. When I was a very small child she was a history teacher then she worked in the voluntary sector, in child care. Our house wasn't some kind of intellectual and political salon, but people like Joe Slovo and Tony Benn were friends of the family, and I used to talk to them. It was a remarkable privilege to have that. But the iconic memory of my dad isn't one of politics. It's of one Saturday morning in Guiseley, in west Yorkshire. He used to come to watch me play football. I was a goalkeeper and he would stand behind the goal. I remember on this wet Saturday morning I let the ball go straight through my legs and I turned round to see that he had his head in his hands. But yes, obviously, politics was to the fore in our house. My father was a member of the Labour party in the 50s. After that, he never joined any other party. He was a genuinely independent Marxist-socialist. Comprehensive schoolThe school did a lot for me but a lot of kids did not do very well there. I learned from my school that the truth about mixed ability teaching is that you need exceptional teachers. In my third year at Haverstock, our English class was taught by our headmistress. She was an exceptional teacher and she had a mixed ability class in the palm of her hand. But you can't design an educational system around the most exceptional teachers. Is that why you need to stream pupils?I'm in favour of setting rather than streaming. Streaming means you are in a group and you are stuck in that group for every class. Setting is much more flexible, and it is right. Domestic politics Is Labour to blame for the recession?At the same time we experienced a credit crisis, and a resource crunch, with the oil price surge in 2008. The question is how ready were different countries to address these problems. Is this the end of neoliberalism?The wave of centre left governments who were elected around Europe in the mid-to-late nineties marked the end of neoliberal political dominance and the events of the last year have marked the end of its intellectual dominance. Long before this, the ideas of monetarism had run out by the mid-90s. The idea of private good, public bad had run out. The idea that the government is the problem, the market is the answer had run out. New Labour asserted collective action but it didn't restrict that to the state. It asserted the need to tackle poverty and inequality. It's wrong to say that New Labour was a continuation of a linear trend. What about redistribution?The truth is that the growth of inequality was a massive problem for Britain in the 80s and 90s. One of the main inequalities was between those who work and those who don't. My constituency bears the scars of the 80s and 90s recessions. But redistribution is a very static way of thinking about everything. The primary question to ask is, inequality of what? Equality of opportunity is a far more radical idea than anyone in the 50s or 60s believed. Crosland was damned as a pusillanimous revisionist because he didn't believe in equality of outcome. The key, as I see it, is to reduce inequalities, plural – inequalities of power and of wealth rather than concentrating on inequalities of income at any one time. And on accusations that Labour is too relaxed about wealth or as Lord Mandelson put it "intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich"?You are always going to have a 0.1 or a 0.5 per cent who are in the stratosphere. It's important that they pay their dues. But that doesn't create two nations. What makes a two nation society is if the top 20 or 25 per cent just float off from the rest of society, in terms of schooling, income, healthcare and housing. Remember the top 25 per cent takes you down to someone earning £35,000 a year. The bigger point is to reduce inequalities of opportunity. That's a better way of looking at it. Equal opportunity for all special privilege for none: that comes very close to what I believe in. If you wrote that on your banner you'd be on your way to producing a decent society. How about Gordon Brown not showing enough humility?On the whole 10p tax business he accepted frontally and clearly that we made a mistake. But we must rebel against the suggestion that everything is bad, that it's all our fault, that the international argument [that the crisis is global] is bogus. We are working incredibly hard to confront the problems. What I want to say is that it's all to play for. We made the right decisions – on Northern Rock, on the recapitalisation package – but there's a lot to do. Yes, but you presided over a housing bubble, a debt bubble, and cheap credit?What does cheap credit mean? Low interest rates. The alternative to low interest rates is high interest rates. You don't want that do you? Having high interest rates generally means that the economy is out of control, and you're trying to tame high inflation. Now we have a low inflation, low interest rate regime. I'd much prefer that to a high interest rate, high inflation regime. Right. QED. Yes, we have a low rate of personal savings in this country. That is true but actually our government debt is also relatively low. Each day is about granularity and trying to look underneath the headline to try to get closer to the truth. There's a longer, and different argument to be had about how the British economy rebuilt itself on a low carbon basis. How we generate alternative centres of economic growth around the country and how we sustain cities that have made such progress over the last 10 years – the Leeds, Edinburghs and Newcastles – how we expand the university base that is good for the economy and good for society. Those are profound and difficult questions that are linked to political reform. We are one of the most advanced post-industrial economies – and we have to see over the precipice to see how our economy with its particular balance of service and manufacturing, and its particular structures of the housing market, linked to our own social market economy...There are big things that we have to address. Impression of David Cameron and the Conservative partyHe's presentationally good, he's repositioned the party but he hasn't changed it. The Tories are like a hologram. The thing about a hologram is that there's nothing there. Conservative means to reach progressive goals. There's bankruptcy there. The role of all of us is to expose that choice. The Tories are trying to get away from that right-wing image, not by changing their policies but by changing their image! International affairs The post-9/11 contextThere's a guy in a Birmingham jail today who is serving a sentence for trying to blow up the centre of Birmingham in 2000 – before 9/11, before Afghanistan, before Iraq, which is a very important thing to remember. It's our position to use both sticks and carrots to persuade countries to pursue what I call responsible sovereignty. The nature of the multilateral challenges are clear. In Pakistan, for instance, can we get them to chase after the LeT [Lashkar-e-Taiba] problem? It's important to recognise that we cannot sort out Afghanistan in isolation from Pakistan. There is a post-9/11 foreign policy becoming clearer... We were in shock after 9/11. Now we have shifted from reactive mode into a more strategic mode, which takes account of the shift in the balance of power in the world from east to west, national to international, organisations to individuals. There's greater clarity about that context and about the threats to stability... terrorism, inequality, climate change, frozen conflicts, weapons of mass destruction... what the challenge is, especially with a new administration in the US, is to show that you can't handle these threats without progressive values, to use multilateral instruments to make a difference... How long will the UK be in Afghanistan?We are there to help a democratically elected government defend itself against Taliban/Al Qaeda. Why does that matter? If the democratic government is usurped in Afghanistan it has been shown that the country becomes an incubator for global terrorism. How long will we be there? It depends on our progress in training up parts of the Afghan national army. The development challenge is a much longer term one. Is there a need for more British troops in Afghanistan?That's not proven. We'll have to see. It depends on strategy. If Americans bring the issues of Pakistan and Afghanistan together, and why we can help them work very closely on that issue. On southern Lebanon (Summer 2006): was it a mistake to not condemn Israeli military action more strongly? I can't freelance... you either play by the rules in politics or you don't: you work as a collective and you are bound by those decisions. You'll have to wait for the cabinet minutes to see what was said. But it's important if the government takes a position on something that you support it. This is a very unfactionalised period in Labour history... the bludgeoning we took in the eighties taught people about the dangers of factions. Reaction to Jonathan Freedland's recent article in the Guardian concerning the left's silence on anti-Semitism I'm disturbed by anti-semitism and racism full stop. I read Jonny's piece. It was powerful. But it's important not to beat up on leftist anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism is not leftist as far as I'm concerned. But if Jonny reports it, I take it very seriously. There's no question there's more fear in the Jewish community, but freedom of speech and of religion in our society is important. We cannot compromise the ideals on which we base our own society. No one should feel uncomfortable about wearing the yarmulke or turban or any other religious symbol. Anglo-American relationsThere is a special relationship. We should not be afraid of better relations between Washington and Paris and Washington and Berlin and Washington and Madrid. The EU as a whole needs to build a better relationship with the US. The only thing that threatens the special relationship with the US is if Britain is not strong in Europe. The Tories' Euroscepticism will threaten the special relationship. Hillary Clinton is committed to a united, forceful, strong Europe and believes Europe is stronger for Britain being at the heart of it, at the leading edge. In his Munich speech Joe Biden was both forceful and humble. It's all a question of the relationship between rights and responsibilities. Iran can have its rights under the non-proliferation treaty but it has a responsibility to curb nuclear proliferation and to have no truck with the creation of weapons of mass destruction. The new administration wants to establish bilateral relations with Iran. That's good. Iranians don't actually hate America; some are quite interested in it, some of them admire it. We don't seek regime change in Iran: we seek behaviour change. Israel and GazaI feel even more strongly than I did then [in India] that the only solution is a two state solution. It's strongly in Israel's interest to engineer the creation of a Palestinian state with the Arab world, but the more conflict there is the harder it becomes. One has to hold fast to the vision of a Palestinian state; it's the only vision that brings security and justice to both Israelis and Palestinians. Jason Cowley is editor of the New Statesman.

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. - The Broward Sheriff's Office arrested three boys who investigators say burglarized a private school in Deerfield Beach.
The boys broke into the St. Ambrose Catholic School at 363 SE 12 Avenue on June 23, said investigators.
"That decision really messed me up in so many things right now," said 14-year-old Nicholas Knisely (pictured, above).
WATCH: Surveillance video
Video surveillance shows Knisely -- the shirtless one wearing pink pajamas -- and his two friends walking around the school two days before breaking in, police said.
The teenagers discharged several fire extinguishers throughout the classrooms and on the property, police said. They vandalized vending machines and threw paint on the furniture, computers, and walls.
Knisely said boredom drove them to do it, and admitted to using a hammer to destroy a vending machine and several windows.
"If I could take it back, I really would. When we went in there, we really didn't plan to destroy anything really. It just happened," he said. "It was mostly me who did most of the things, and I'd like to say that before my two friends get in trouble for most of the work that I've done."
The teenagers also broke several cabinets and made themselves a meal, leaving their DNA on used utensils for detectives to gather as evidence, said investigators.
All three were charged with burglary structure, felony criminal mischief, grand theft of fire extinguisher, and molesting coin operated machine/larceny. The other two boys were 15 and 14 years old.
"I'm sorry to the church, to the priest. I'm sorry to my friends. I'm sorry that I brought my friends into this and it really wasn't their fault," said Knisely.

Living Doll Distressed Knit – None The Richer Blaze Necklace from Market HQ – ASOS Boyfriend Belt – Romwe.com Wide Leg Pants – Lorenzi Heels – Covet Vintage Co. Tan Envelope Clutch
I consumed food with my dear brother this afternoon and he hates my new favourite Romwe pants, so I wore them. This wide leg business is the best solution for being warm in winter – you could be wearing polka dot leg warmers underneath and nobody would ever know. And because your bottom half is warm, there's a bit more room to play in the top half – though, to be fair, the distressed shoulders on this sweater are a bit deceiving. It is a lot warmer than it looks.
More importantly: If you've been keeping tabs on Twitter and Facebook, you will have observed that I was not so excited with the result of my long overdue haircut that happened yesterday afternoon.
This is how it went. I'd explained to the hairdresser how much I wanted off (admittedly I hadn't had my hair cut in a good 6 months and it had gotten to a point where there is only so much Moroccan Oil can do). Said hairdresser proceeded to demonstrate the length (which I was happy with) and cut on one side (which I was also happy with). Then we get to the other side.
Snip snip snip.
"Oh sh*t…"
Wooo gotta love that!
So because one side was messed up, the other half had to come up to make it even.
And that is the story of why the hell Margaret's hair is now oh so short. Looking at it now, it probably isn't so bad – can it be called post-traumatic-chopping-off-half-my-hair disorder? I think so. I think I'll like it in two weeks.
Tip for amazingly chunky necklaces such as this one – half in half out.

Project aim
To raise £5,000 to fund cinema events all over Plymouth, including Open Air Cinema at Royal William Yard, this summer.
About the project
Following on from last year's successful Open Air Cinema in Plymouth, we want people all over Plymouth to enjoy a great evening watching a film in an interesting and iconic location. We're planning a whole season of Cinema in the City film events for this summer and need to raise money so that these film screenings can go ahead.
We had some great feedback from last year – "Thank you for providing such a wonderful event – the like of which I thought could only be experienced in London (or some other larger city)." and "I will definitely attend a future outdoor screening and will tell my family and friends all about it."
Why do we need the money?
We're asking for your help to pay for some of the costs involved in putting on these cinema events. It costs £7,000 just to put up the scaffolding for the screen at Royal William Yard, as well as the projection equipment. We need to employ professionals to get the sound right at a variety of different venues so that everyone can hear. We also need to pay for the boring essentials, like toilets – essential for an enjoyable evening; First Aid cover, security and we have to pay the film distributors a percentage of what we receive from the ticket sales.
We can offset some of these costs by charging for tickets and we've had some funding already lined up, but we still need to raise £5,000 to make sure these fun film nights happen.
Where will the films be shown?
We're hoping to show the films in some of Plymouth's best known venues, including:-
- The amazing 1930's architectural of the Council Chamber adjacent to the Civic Centre
- Devonport Guildhall
- The National Marine Aquarium
- Royal William Yard – already confirmed as 10-12 September
What films will be shown?
Last year at Royal William Yard, we screened Roman Holiday, Sing A Long A Grease and the summer blockbuster,Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. It's still too early to say for certain, but the films will include some old classics, favourites and hopefully a recent release. Dirty Dancing is definitely on our shortlist!
The film screenings will be preceded by a series of short films, produced by Magic Hour, a young person's film and photography social enterprise based at High View School, Efford which document and create film about art and local community work in Plymouth.
Please make a pledge and enjoy cinema in the city.
For every pledge received, we can claim an extra 50% on top from Arts Council England, which will be invested in Cinema in the City and other arts and cinema projects in Plymouth. Our fundraising for Cinema in the City is part of a wider range of fundraising activity which Plymouth Arts Centre has planned.

The server is reporting to the driver that zero rows were affected (not "unknown", *zero*) so I don't see any reason why the driver should not report that as the number of rows affected. Returning SUCCESS_NO_INFO reduces the usefulness of the driver in the other 98% of cases where there are no INSTEAD rules.

So if the server is not returning "the number of rows inserted" then either the server has a bug or the protocol docs are wrong. -O

Photo gallery: Relive last night's inspirational fashion show at Open in Norwich
PUBLISHED: 11:06 04 October 2012 | UPDATED: 15:16 04 October 2012
Over 500 people flocked to Open on Bank Plain in Norwich last night to be inspired by an evening of breast cancer survivors strutting down the catwalk in aid of the support charity Keeping Abreast.
"Keeping Abreast is about women regaining something. It really is more than a fashion show."
The fashion show, which has reached its third year, featured 26 women who have all experienced breast cancer and bravely chose to take to the stage as models to support others who are going through similar situations.
Organised by five-year-old Norwich-based charity Keeping Abreast, the show saw energetic dance routines performed to rock, hip-hop, and pop music, choreographed by artistic director Stephen Knights, as well as touching stories from patients, family members, and doctors.
Co-founder Anna Beckingham, 43, from Reepham, helped set up the charity in September 2007 after she had breast cancer, with Beverley Birritteri, also a breast cancer patient, and a breast reconstruction nurse specialist at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, Ruth Harcourt.
The trio said they recognised a need for women to meet and talk to others who have been through similar experiences surrounding breast reconstruction, and formed the charity to provide support for women at any stage throughout their diagnosis, treatment or surgery.
Ms Beckingham said at the show last night: "This evening just shows what these women have achieved, and it is a real confidence boost for the ladies."
She added: "Keeping Abreast is about women regaining something. It really is more than a fashion show."
And Mrs Harcourt stressed the importance of women affected by breast cancer to have some one to talk to.
The fashionistas shone under the bright lights in the city venue, wearing outfits from local shops, such as Vanilla on Ipswich Road, Catfish on Exchange Street and Philip Browne and John Lewis in the city centre.
The models said backstage that they were both excited and proud to be taking part in the show.
Louise Horner, 44, from Brundall was diagnosed recently with the cancer.
Coming off stage she described the show experience as "bloody brilliant", and praised the support from the charity. The Gallery hairdressers based on Waterloo Road in north Norwich provided hair-care for the models for the third year running, and owner of the salon, Adrian Dunham, said the show wasn't just about raising money for the charity, but also about raising awareness of their reconstructive work.
And hair stylist from his team, Mollie Cavell, from Marlingford, said: "I am so proud to be a part of something so big and so local."
There are limited tickets left for tonight. Call Victoria on 07799 258084.

DENVER — Pirates right-hander Ross Ohlendorf was not seriously injured Wednesday when he was struck on the right side of his head by a line drive during the Pirates' 6-2 victory against the Colorado Rockies.
Ohlendorf was taken by ambulance to nearby Rose Hospital. Results of a CT scan were negative and he returned to Coors Field after being diagnosed with a contusion and abrasions.
"I feel fine," Ohlendorf said after the game. "I guess I got lucky."
With two outs and a runner on third base in the first inning, Troy Tulowitzki connected on a fastball away and hit a comebacker. Ohlendorf was following through on his delivery when the ball struck him near the temple.
"It was more than a glancing blow," manager John Russell said.
Fans sitting behind home plate in the third level of Coors Field were able to hear the sharp crack when the ball connected with Ohlendorf's head.
"You're hoping it didn't hit him in the face," first baseman Garrett Jones said. "You're hoping it hit him in the hardest part of the head. Ross must have a thick skull because that ball was hit hard, but he seemed all right."
Ohlendorf dropped to his knees on the mound and watched as the ball caromed into right field for an RBI single.
Ohlendorf was examined briefly on the field, as Tulowitzki squatted on first base and grimaced.
"It's funny," Ohlendorf said. "Last year, (Tulowitzki) hit a ball hard back at me. It hopped up, hit me in the chest and knocked the wind out of me. This one was a line drive."
After a couple of minutes, Ohlendorf walked off the field, assisted by Pirates head athletic trainer Brad Henderson.
"He said he wanted to stay in the game," Russell said, grinning.
Ohlendorf hopes to be able to make his next scheduled start. Russell said only that Ohlendorf will be re-evaluated Thursday by doctors and his status is day to day.
Ohlendorf is the second Pirates starting pitcher this season to be struck on the head by a batted ball.
On April 24 in Houston, righty Chris Jakubauskas was hit by Lance Berkman's line drive. Jakubauskas, who was struck behind the right ear and sustained a concussion, is on the 60-day disabled list.

A look back at the top 5 things to remember from NU athletics from 2013-14
June 6, 2014
Nevada Union has a proud tradition of winning when it comes to athletics and this year was no different — well a little different.
While some traditional powers, like football, struggled to gain footing in the 2013-14 school year, others sports carried NU athletics to levels never seen before. The Miners earned team league titles in girls basketball and individual league championships in track and field, wrestling, diving, mountain biking and boys golf.
While there are so many things to take from NU sports over the last school year, here are five things that stood out among the rest.
Zetterberg's impact
Not that this man could ever be forgotten, but it's important to note that this year Nevada Union lost one of its great educators and coaches in Craig Zetterberg. The charismatic girls water polo coach died of a massive heart attack while helping out with the NU mountain bike team.
Zetterberg was an engaging, genuine man who had an ability to reach his students and players.
Recommended Stories For You
In 2013 he led the Lady Miners water polo team to the playoffs, but more importantly was a positive role model and mentor to all those he came in contact with.
Zetterberg was integral in the effort to change the negative culture at NU and was always looking for ways to improve the team he coached and the students he taught.
Gridiron woes
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And, that's why NU football makes the top-five things to remember from 2013-14.
Under a new head coach for the first time in more than 20 years, the Miners floundered against a difficult schedule and closed out the season without a win for the first time ever.
Dennis Houlihan, a NU grad, took over when Dave Humphers retired after the 2012 season, only to lead the team to a 0-10 record.
The Miners were outscored 511-134 by their opponents and never were in a game past halftime. The Miners saving grace was found off the field as they logged countless hours helping out the community and were awarded for their efforts by the Sac-Joaquin Section.
Lady Miners are magic
The Lady Miners basketball team was the most dominant team NU had this year, going 23-5 overall and 10-0 in the SFL. The Lady Miners were led by four seniors and a junior who banded together to help NU win its second straight SFL title.
Led by Sydney Porter, the SFL MVP, and seniors Melanie O'Brien, Emma Peterson and Erin Selleck along with junior Sammy DeHart NU earned a No. 4 seed in the D-I playoffs and won a home playoff game. The Lady Miners were nearly unstoppable at home going 8-0 until their season was ended with a home loss to McClatchy in the playoffs.
Volleyball's late season surge
The Miners may have finished third in the SFL, but that was good enough for a playoff berth and that's where they would do their damage.
After finishing league play 6-4, the Miners opened the playoffs by blowing away a Grant team that had only one loss leading up to the playoffs. The Miners then topped defending section champ Granite Bay in the semifinals to earn a spot in the title game. NU would fall to Del Oro in the championship, but the late season run by NU was an exciting end to an up and down season.
Diving right in
The NU dive team impressed all year, led by Mikaela Lujan and Austin Foote the Miners claimed both the individual SFL titles. Lujan won her second league title in a row and went on to win her second section title as well. Foote, a senior, went on to finish third in the section competition. Both Lujan and Foote set Nevada Union school records during the season. Lujan, a 2013 All- American, and Foote have both applied to be 2014 high school All- Americans.

Also Tonight: The Maldives + SIFFPosted by Suzi Pratt
SIFF presents: The Maldives perform Riders of the Purple Stage @ The Triple Door | 7PM OR 9:30PM | Buy tickets here
SSG was eager to get in on some Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) action this year, so when we heard about SIFF's Face the Music Live Events series, we got excited. Now in its seventh year, this year's series will feature three special live music events relating to film. Tonight's show will see Ballard's own alt-country band The Maldives perform an original live score to a 1925 silent western film, Riders of the Purple Sage. The film is said to be action-packed for its time, full of cowboys, shootouts, stampedes, and more. Legendary Hollywood cowboy Tom Mix is the starring actor of this classic Western film. Read more about the film on SIFF's website. Having never seen a film with a live score being played, I have no idea what to expect, but it's certain that we'll get to hear some brand new Maldives material tonight.
Other Face the Music Live Events include Stephin Merritt of the Magnetic Fields performing his live score to the 1916 silent film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and pianist Donald Sosin providing live accompanying music for Bu Wancang's silent Chinese comedy A Spray of Plum Blossoms.

Writing Custom Entries to the Audit Log in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
Applies to: Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Ted Pattison, Critical Path Training
May 2007
Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services provides an auditing facility that allows you to see the actions users take within the context of a site collection. Examples of user actions that you can audit automatically include viewing, updating, and deleting list items and documents, as well as viewing site pages. One important limitation of the built-in auditing facility is that it cannot audit access to application pages that are deployed within the \LAYOUTS directory.
If you want to audit the actions of users as they view your custom application pages, you must add code that writes custom audit entries into the Windows SharePoint Services audit log. You can write custom audit entries within the context of any auditable object, such as those of type SPSite, SPWeb, SPList, and SPListItem.
Auditable objects, such as SPSite, SPWeb, SPList, and SPListItem, expose an Audit property. This property contains a reference to an SPAudit object that exposes a method named WriteAuditEvent. Here is an example of code within a custom application page that writes a custom audit entry for a specific SPListItem object.
SPSite siteColl = SPContext.Current.Site; SPWeb site = SPContext.Current.Web; string ListId = Request.QueryString["ListId"]; string ItemId = Request.QueryString["ItemId"]; SPList list1 = site.Lists[new Guid(ListId)]; SPListItem item1 = list1.Items.GetItemById(Convert.ToInt32(ItemId)); item1.Audit.WriteAuditEvent(SPAuditEventType.Custom, "CustomViewAuditEvent", "");
When you write a custom audit entry by using the WriteAuditEvent method, Windows SharePoint Services records the name of the current user by using the identity of the executing code. That means you should avoid programming techniques that elevate privileges or that use impersonation before making the call to WriteAuditEvent because that can cause the wrong user to be associated with the audit entry.
When you call WriteAuditEvent, the first argument is an enumeration value of type SPAuditEventType, which indicates the type of audit entry you are making. The second parameter is a string that allows you to indicate the name of the audit source.
The third parameter passed to the WriteAuditEvent method is an open-ended string value that you can use to pass whatever custom data you want to record for a custom log entry. This allows you to pass a domain-specific XML document to track any type of information you want when writing an entry to the audit log for a particular event.
item1.Audit.WriteAuditEvent(SPAuditEventType.Custom, "MySource", "<MyData>MyValue</MyData>");
As you write custom XML documents into entries in the audit log, you also must provide the complementary code that reads these audit entries and interprets the data within these XML documents.

This Asheville-based sonic monster takes the listener on a rollercoaster ride with funky bass, thick organs, edgy guitar riffs, and a driving drum section matched with creative songwriting and vocals. Elements of rock, soul and funk are the initial ingredients for ECD's self-coined "Sneaker Boogaloo" - a danceable music-blender of styles, sounds and personas. ECD has been crafting their skills as a team with spontaneity, discovery and polish since early 2007. Original members Wilson Hawes (bass, guitar), Brad Boughton (drums, vocals) and Will Little (keyboards, guitar) have recently added Travis Bossler (percussion) and Alex Robertson (guitar) to the full-time lineup. The collective chemistry at live shows is obvious with improvisations and compositions taking place simultaneously, all while connecting to the crowd, keeping all ages happy, smiling and on the dance floor. Ranging from Knoxville to Charleston, and Atlanta to Virginia, music lovers have continuously shown their love and support for the band over the past four years, and now their music is reaching an even broader fan base as they explore many new venues in support of their self-titled release. Currently available through iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody and eMusic, the album was recorded at Asheville's Collapseable Studios, and showcases all aspects of their growth as a band. The album then reached Relix Magazine's national radio charts in April 2011. All in all, East Coast Dirt is a rock-n-roll band for the coming days, bringing with them the spirit of the classics we often miss in today's modern music.

Camera found in Glen Burnie High School bathroom
An Anne Arundel County police officer is on administrative leave after{ } allegedly installing a camera inside a men's restroom at Glen Burnie High School, police say.
According to a preliminary investigation, the officer, who is assigned to the Special Services Bureau, installed the camera without the knowledge of the school system or police department.
A student discovered the camera on Wednesday and reported it to school administrators. No images or recordings were found on the camera, and no additional unauthorized cameras were located in the building.
The police powers of the 14-year veteran were also suspended. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
Glen Burnie High School is located in the 7500 block of Baltimore Annapolis Boulevard in Glen Burnie.


text: Unfortunately one of my favorite 55mm lenses has been acting up recently. The DOF "slide" on the inside ring of the lens appears to be loose (it will freely float back and forth just from gravity) and when I lock the lens into place on the FE2 I use with it, something happens where when I release the shutter it appears to trip up and will not take the foto (you will see a blurry, dark image if you look through the lens at this point). There is no way to free the shutter except to remove the lens. The moment I remove the lens the shutter frees and an unwanted picture is taken. I'm guessing this has to do with the DOF slide because there's really nothing left to be broken (that I can tell, at least). The DOF preview on the FE2 also won't work. Occasionally if I press it many many MANY times it will give me a slight preview or stick in preview mode. So I guess I'm wondering if this is something that I can fix. Seems like maybe there's a spring in the lens that broke or came unhinged. The lens isn't cheap and it's my favorite 35mm macro. Thanks! P.S. All my others lenses including very old Nikkor lenses all work fine.

For the record: Mark-Paul Gosselaar has always been a serious actor, even when he was playing personality challenged Zack Morris on the goofy '90s sitcom Saved by the Bell. "The reason why it was such a success in my opinion was because we worked really hard at it," Gosselaar, 35, now the star of the TNT legal series Raising the Bar, tells PEOPLE. "I feel things work because of the amount of effort that you put into it, you'll see a return. That was the way it was for Saved by the Bell. We didn't take anything for granted on that show." And that work ethic extended to the toil required for the blond hair sported by the naturally brunette Gosselaar. "I sat every three weeks in a chair getting my hair done by someone on the set putting in foils," he says. "I'm lucky that I came out the way I did. It really could have scarred me." We're happy to see that Gosselaar takes his blonde days in stride, even turning up on Jimmy Fallon's couch last night in full Zack Morris costume — done to his perfectly highlighted hair. Tell us: Do you prefer Mark-Paul with his natural brunette hair or his teen-era blonde locks? –Michael Fleeman
