4-9-12 Progressive Field
I went to Progressive Field on Monday, despite an iffy forecast of afternoon showers. When we arrived, it looked as if it could start raining at any moment.
At one point I felt a drop or two, but the rain never materialized, and the Indians took early batting practice, which I watched with Amy, Olivia, and Nick from just outside the Toyota Home Run Porch.
There were several balls that landed in the seats, but the ushers would later pick most of them up later and pocket them for themselves.
Before the gates opened, Nick and I played catch. It was about the fifth consecutive day that I had thrown, and my arm was feeling it. I threw a lot sidearm or 3/4 because my arm was sore.
When the gates opened, I ran in and found nothing.
After a long dry spell to start BP, an Indian hit a ball into the trees at Heritage Park, which I just reached in and grabbed to put me on the board:
My second ball was a clean home run catch here:
And ball #3 was a clean home run catch here on the fly:
which resulted in me being booed because a twelve year old was two rows in front of me, and the ball sailed over his glove by a foot and into mine. I didn't give him the ball, and he and his dad ended up getting at least four that I saw, since there was no one there.
That was it for the Indians BP. The White Sox BP was pretty bad, as it featured a majority of right handed batters. To make it just a little more difficult, all of the Sox players had pullovers on, so I could only really identify a few of their players such as John Danks and Will Ohman. Plus, a trainer's son was snagging 85% of the balls in right center, so not a lot of players were snagging flies near the outfield fence for me to put a request in.
I got shut out until 6PM when I found ball #4 in the left field bleachers. Somehow an usher missed it, as it was tucked neatly under a bleacher near a support.
Ball #5 was a disaster. I hate snagging in left field because its so steep. Tyler Flowers, a young catcher with a ton of power hit a home run at me. I started running up the steps in the bleachers, thinking it was way over my head. As I turned to find the ball, the struck me square in the back, bounced around, and rolled down a few rows, where I picked it up. It should've been an easy catch for me, but I botched it. I had wanted a Flowers ball, so I guess I should be happy that I at least got one, but still, I feel like I'm off to a rusty start to the 2012 season.
At 6:10, the White Sox ended BP, clearing the field, except for the infielders. In a rare scene, the Sox took infield practice.
It began with the coach hitting balls to the outfielders and working on cutting throws, then it progressed to double plays, etc. It was pretty cool to watch. I stood right behind the dugout and waited.
There were no other White Sox fans around, so I figured I had a good shot to get a ball.
It worked, as Mark Salas tossed me a well worn ball that had been used in infield practice for ball #6.
After BP, I got Amy and I some fried cookie dough:
Not a bad trip to Cleveland. I wish I could get here more often.
Here's today's baseballs:

Deal on Ammo
A friend told me that a local coin shop had just started buying and selling ammo. I rounded up what I had laying around but don't use, about 100 mostly loose rounds, not one full box, and checked them out. I would have taken $30.00 for it, but wound up adding $45.00 to it and walked out with three pristine boxes of Norma 6.5x55 139 gr. I have two rifles that really like that particular load. My L579 Sako was throated specifically for it. It took a while to come up with a handload that would match it for accuracy. I have two other rifles I haven't tried it in yet.

The Cavs have traded Andrew Bynum, three future draft picks and the right to swap picks in 2015 (1-14 protected) to Chicago for Luol Deng. The Bulls are expected to waive Bynum before his $12 million contract becomes guaranteed on Tuesday. Deng will be an unrestricted free agent following this season.
From the Cavs official release:
In exchange for Deng, the Cavs send Chicago Bynum, Cleveland's right to the Sacramento King's first round draft pick conveyed in a June 30, 2011 deal, the right for Chicago to swap its own 2015 first round draft pick with the Cavs own 2015 first round draft pick (only in the case that the Cleveland 2015 first round draft pick is between 15 and 30) and the Portland Trail Blazer's 2015 and 2016 second round draft picks acquired from the Trail Blazers via a 2013 draft night trade.

MINIDonations, QR Readers, and Fundraising
Apr 20 2012
I was on the committee to help with my kid's school (Magellan International School) big annual fundraiser, Noche de Gala. I played a small part in a great event held at the Bob Bullock museum last weekend. The theme was "peace" so most of us wore white dresses or suits. There were many big and smaller items to auction
The lead organizers did an amazing job pulling everything together across multiple facets. I was one of the people in charge of collecting payments on items that were auctioned off and this year we used some cool technology. We downloaded free QR readers to our iPhones or Androids. We scanned the QR codes on the back of the bid card of the person who won an auction item. If the scan was successful, a page popped up hosted by MiniDonations with all their information pre-loaded. We just had to enter their credit card information and the amount and it was processed and subsequently put into the appropriate school account. It was kind of fun and neat to use and made me feel so efficient and powerful! 🙂 The only thing I would recommend that MiniDonations add to their interface is a field for comments so we could put a note regarding what item the bidder was purchasing.
I always like using technology that makes things easier while being fun to use!Author: Aruni | Filed under: entrepreneurship, fundraising, parenting | Tags: bob bullock museum, magellan international school, minidonations, noche de gala, qr codes, qr reader, school fundraiser | Comments Off on MINIDonations, QR Readers, and Fundraising

Hi folks,
It has been some time since I posted. There are a number of reasons for that: first off I had nothing to add to the nuggets of wisdom that the very clever men and women of this site freely and happily impart to anybody in need of help and secondly; I have had a number of family situations to deal with not least my own. If anybody has had a TURP operation - HE, for it will most definitely be a HE - will appreciate what I have been through. For everybody else: prostate problems due to cancer, all very inconvenient, annoying; time consuming and action limiting and no bloody fun at all. The upshot of it is I have spent a good deal of time incapacitated and have had limited time on my computer. Although my body might have been still, my mind has been anything but and I have done a lot of thinking.
Everything we are talking about on the FreeManOnTheLand site and the GetOutOfDebtFree site is bullying – good old-fashioned bullying that we were all (to a lesser or greater extent) subjected to in school. After dwelling on this thought for a time I realised that nothing has changed. So I began to scribble down all my thoughts on bullying and to cut a very long story short: I ended up with a very long story! I had pages and pages and as I started to sort through the morass of paperwork - a poem began to emerge.
After writing and re-writing to refine the thing I ended up with a 31verse poem. Now it's no good just sitting on my computer so I was thinking (and I have checked and don't think I am breaking any posting rules) if I posted the poem up for all to see, perhaps somebody who is better at writing poetry could refine it. In fact I think it would be great if anybody who thinks they could add to it would do so. It could end up with thousand's of verses and freely distributed to all the people to show them how they are being fooled and conned by a system that is more concerned with the health of banks than the health of human beings – whoops, I've given some of the content away.
I know I've dragged on a bit and I'll close soon, but on the power of poems, some years ago, having failed miserably to get messages over to young people, I wrote a poem that repeated everything we had told them. One young lad put music to it, turned it into a song and the kids all remembered the messages we had been trying so long to drum into them.
Bye the way, if anybody is interested I kept sending my bill to HMRC. The last one was on the 5th February 2016 for an accumulated figure of £1,119,875. They have stopped communicating with me since then. YES, I know, I know, I know what you're thinking and yes, you are probably right – 'HMRC are never going to send me a cheque'. I have been told this by lots of people and I accept it – as long as they leave me a lone and stop harassing me that will be enough of a success for me. But just let's indulge in a little fantasy for a moment.
Imagine HMRC decided to take me to court for non-payment of something or other in the future; let's say £1,000. The judge asks me to pay and I say: "Certainly, I'm happy to. Just tell HMRC to deduct that £1,000 from the six and a half million pounds they owe me, look here is the paperwork to prove they owe it to me."
On with the Motley:
We start out in life an accident, that's how we're born on Earth
With traits locked in a blueprint that shapes our path from birth
This means there is no difference with the tramp and engineer
For neither had a choice of whose DNA they'd be the heir
And life is also this unbalanced and results in unfair measure
As privileged ones will steal and cheat, adding to their treasure
From atop their lofty places they trick the weak and poor
With junk TV and football and the pub's all-day open door
So if our post in life is set at birth and favours rich and strong,
and bullying begins in school and lasts our whole life long.
why are we surprised to hear strong children hurting weak?
For is this not life's cruel legacy, the strong will hurt the weak?
When in school the brutal ones might hit and steal our things
But teachers, parents and the Law can help us mere underlings
But bullying is also in the workplace, the system and bureaucracy
but now we have nowhere to turn for help to hear our plea.
If born in wealth and privilege, then good life will be assured.
And you'll live your life in luxury, need and poverty obscured.
Life is pure chance, and if born poor in this real lottery,
then chances are you'll be the prey in your earthly entity.
Good fortune may present itself, and prospects you may find,
and if keen of brain and quick of wit, and studious of mind
then you will have the basic tools to prosper and to lift
you from the ranks of those of whom were not born with your gift
For those who life has failed to give good minds, it may instead,
give bodies strong with which to make one's way and earn one's bread.
But those who life has failed to give keen minds or strong physique,
will go through life deprived and poor, powerless to find their niche.
Nature's indifferent to their plight, it cares not that they're in pain.
It wants procreation of the race, so the best of species will remain.
And it seems endemic on the Earth, tyranny must always rule
And those with the power will use it as an all-prevailing tool
In a fair world those with the power would help and shield the poor
And keep the children safe and sheltered from the horror of war
And spread the fruits of their good luck so all would have a share
Then look to the plight of the Earth and of the animals take care
But, as strong animals prey on the frail and kill the weak for food,
strong countries will wage war on those, they know will be subdued.
And in this quest the young are killed on both sides from the poor,
reinforcing that, which we know is fact, oppression's at the core.
Politicians might come in to power wanting to do some good
but corporate bullies in Government ensure this thinking is dud
good intentions are soon forgotten and ideals are soon no more
As another corrupt mandarin glides through the 'revolving door.'
How can we stop these selfish people, they are everywhere?
The psychopath rises to the top in politics and in commerce
Like the arms dealers - who by normal people are so reviled -
sickeningly greed driven, impervious to the agony of a dying child
People work hard and pay tax and bills while they are in employ
They don't want much, just raise their kids and family time enjoy
But Government won't let them be, they hound and taxes raise
And take more and more from off the poor in every budget phase
The people bear the losses while savings go up in smoke
As Governments use public funds to keep banks from going broke
This happens each ten years or so, so we can truly state
Here is some further proof of how the system will intimidate
Therefore, it is apparent to us the law favours the ruling class
And when applied to bankers this nepotism is seen en masse
To indict HSBC, I've heard it said, would make the bank unsound
so sub-prime lending and LIBOR rigging is conveniently played down
When people try to use the courts to help them challenge wrong
The lawyers come, from their dark places, and to the pig swill throng
Proffering high-priced fees for legal ploys to crush honest folk in court
And hired by the corrupt ones their crooked dealings to distort
This is a flaw and for the unwary makes it hard to participate
The privileged at the best schools are taught to think and debate
this cleverness is skilfully used in court against hapless folk
yet another illustration of how we are kept under the yoke
The scales of justice are greatly weighed towards those in the know
And there are traps for the amateur who wants to have a go
For it's not enough to be in the right you need to show the proof
And also to know which law to use, Common or Legal Statute
Lawyers speak in tongues, which makes it hard to take things in
as barristers share secret turns of phrase and terms in the Latin
And although it is unlikely that they are fluent in the dialect
this ancient language spoken makes shaky thoughts misdirect
Without training in Law and learning to see an alternative account
One's success against a trained barrister is certainly in doubt
So once again we see the weak are browbeaten and cowed
And our own kind the police join in where bullying is allowed
Are we the same under the law, does it treat us all equally?
Well something that I once was told would seem not to agree
It said amongst the middle classes the police uphold the law
But in dealing with the working class the police enforce the law
We will never see the ruling classes in the ranks of PC plods
As usual the rich occupy advantaged positions the privileged sods
Plods come from the working classes and divide us and barricade
Enabling the rich minority to bully, steal and keep us all afraid.
The police are traitors to their kind, obstructing the working people
A strong barrier between Us and Them - a power balance evil
The bullying police stop us the majority and force us to withdraw
From taking the rich minority to task for overriding Magna Carta Law
A person joins the police service from one of two directions
In school they were the bullies or the one with the imperfections
Although still being a copper the latter's more likely to be lenient
Whist the former has a nature that is inclined to be more deviant
Of course we need protection from murder, rape and theft
And plucky detectives work to see from danger we are kept
Still the service gives the bully reign to practice pent up hate
Hounding us for the least breach while letting off the great
And how can we trust these people who won't join a trade union?
Bound by a promise nearly 100 years ago during much confusion
The Police Strike of 1919 struck fear into the heart of Government
With many forces joining the strike causing countrywide descent
The Government of the day feared revolution the result may be
And it was clear where power lay, and the police held the key
With their discipline and training they held the power real
Only they could control the working folk and keep them down at heel
And they did and they still do!!!!
But since the time that the police promised not to strike again
Governments shifted goal posts, to see that is rather plain
therefore that original accord must now be viewed as a no-no
and cops must see the agreement is as dead as the Dodo.
Overtime the police have watched while their jobs are depleted
First by volunteer Specials, the coppers were all cheated
Now Community Service Officers do their jobs on a lower wage
but the police stand by gutlessly witnessing it all off stage
And let's not forget the Army seeing the people as the enemy
evidenced by the Peterloo massacre, Manchester in the 19th Century
it's thought we have armed forces to protect us from invasion and war
more likely to protect the rich from us as they bully us more
So please listen world oppressors as this song for you is meant,
why wage war on the weak and the poor and cause them all torment?
And to all of you bullies of the weak why hurt folk, it's perverse?
When our precious life is but a flash….
…in this great universe!
Remember the murdered people cut down by the military and known as
the Peterloo Massacre, St Peter's fields, Manchester 16th August 1819
Remember and never forget what our army did to us!

A colorful community
The Caminho do Grafite brings a splash – or rather an explosion – of color to the grey everyday life in the favela of Morro dos Prazeres. We present a video of Rio de Janeiro's spectacular graffiti path
This view is…hmm – wow! probably describes it best: Spread out in front of us is the bay of Rio de Janeiro, in the distance the magnificent Sugar Loaf juts up; behind us, Cristo, surrounded by tiny, fluffy clouds, is silhouetted against the blue sky.
We meet Charles Siqueira high up above the more famous, more touristy Rio. We are standing in the middle of the favela Morro dos Prazeres, which translates as the hill of happy people. And the name is appropriate, despite the fact that this place is home to some of the city's poorest folk. All around us people seem to be enjoying themselves: a few youngsters are kicking a ball around on a fenced-in pitch; a group of elderly men are sharing a large beer in small glasses, very typical for Brazil, and their laughter echoes through the narrow passageways. And then there are all the brightly colored walls, the reason we have come up the hill of Santa Teresa.
Together with local artists, Siqueira set up the project Caminho do Grafite: a graffiti path that snakes its way through the favela. The idea is to attract tourists who will then bring a little desperately needed money into Morro dos Prazeres. "We want to make the favela attractive for visitors. The entrance is right next to the road up to Cristo. Hundreds of people pass by, but they remain outside. Our aim is to get them to come in," says Siqueira.
Over 50 graffiti artists have left their mark here, some of whom are true celebrities in the graffiti scene. Márcio SWK recently exhibited his pictures in some of Europe's major cities, and visited Paris, London and Berlin. But however far he travels, his home will always be here, in this favela. This place made a man of him, he says. For our film, we met up with Márcio, watched him work on his latest piece for the Caminho do Grafite and listened to his vision for this project…

Cricket Australia is seeking professional advice on what the organisation believes is troubled batsman David Warner's drinking problem, a report said today.
The controversial opener was fined AUD 11,500 and suspended until the start of the Ashes by CA on Thursday for an incident in which he punched England batsman Joe Root in a Birmingham bar during the ongoing Champions Trophy.
He will miss the rest of title-holders Australia's involvement in the tournament and their two warm-up matches before he is again available for the first Ashes Test against England at Nottingham, which starts on July 10.
CA chief executive James Sutherland yesterday strongly condemned the behaviour of Warner and five other Australian players who were with him at the time of the incident.
The Sydney Daily Telegraph today quoted Sutherland as saying CA were looking to examine Warner's drinking issues further.
"I will be taking expert advice on that within the team to make sure, with our various professionals, to make some additional judgements on that to provide whatever support is necessary," Sutherland said.
"Whatever the case is, he is making some pretty ordinary decisions and getting himself into trouble."
The newspaper's cricket writer Malcolm Conn said he was contacted by three Australian cricketers during last month's Indian Premier League where Warner was playing for the Delhi Daredevils who told him that the dashing opening batsman was drinking.
Warner has denied alcohol was involved in his expletive-laden early morning Twitter rant at two Australian cricket journalists, including Conn, last month from India, when he was fined AUD 5,750 by CA.
Conn said he had again been told by an Australian player that Warner had in fact been drinking at the time of the Twitter outburst.
The Telegraph said there were fears that Warner was heading down the same path as former Australian player Andrew Symonds, who was suspended for two one-day matches after being drunk on the morning of a match against Bangladesh in Cardiff.
"Definitely not. I don't think I've got a drinking problem at all," Warner told a press conference in London yesterday. "It's just basically I've got to make the right decisions at the right time."
"I have to apologise for what I did and I can't put myself in that position ever again.
"And not let the team down and everyone else down and in these circumstances try not to be aggressive like I did."

(I write it that way because each one of those is a massive challenge in-and-of-itself, and these guys tackled them all in one project.)
I've never seen anyone work longer or harder on a single creative project...just shy of six years. Six years of long nights and continuous re-writes and editing rooms and voice casting and co-ordinating over 500 people and studio hassles and all the rest. I remember talking with Chris when he first took the job and thinking "Wow, it won't be out until 2009! That feels like decades away." Such is the nature of animated film...but these guys' enthusiasm was unflagging throughout.
The good news is, it looks like it's going to be the #1 movie this weekend at the box office, which makes me so, so happy for them. They deserve every success that comes their way...they are immensely talented and hard-workin' dudes.
So go see it!

What Are Those White Spots on Your Gums?
|Consult with Your Dentist About White Spots
White spots on the gums are often the result of irritation to the delicate tissues inside your mouth, especially irritation resulting from rough or ill-fitting dentures, partials and other dental appliances. Sometimes white spots on the gums are a sign of gum cancer.
Your dentist can help you determine the cause of the white spots on your gums and take a biopsy when necessary to rule out cancer of the gums. Your dentist can suggest a course of treatment and monitor the healing process to ensure the white spots on your gums fade as quickly as possible.
Dentists use the medical term "leukoplakia" to describe white spots on gums. Leukoplakia affects the mucous membranes lining the inside of your mouth. During leukoplakia, thick white patches develop on your gums. These white spots may also develop on the inside of your cheeks, on the bottom of your mouth and, sometimes, on your tongue. You cannot scrape leukoplakia white spots off your gums or other areas of your mouth.
Leukoplakia patches are often white in color but may be gray in some areas. These spots usually have an uneven shape and have a slightly raised, firm surface. Contact with spicy or acidic foods may cause pain. Sometimes the white spots have a fuzzy appearance, a condition doctors call "hairy leukoplakia."
Treatment of White Spots on Gums
Dentists do not yet know what causes leukoplakia but they think the condition may be the result of irritation. Rough teeth, dentures or dental work may cause oral irritation in some people, as can tobacco use – especially pipe smoking – and alcohol use. Research shows that leukoplakia is most common among elderly people.
White spots on the gums are usually harmless and go away after a few days or weeks. Avoid alcohol and stop all tobacco use, including cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and chewing tobacco if you use these products.
Consult with a dentist if you think dental work is irritating your gums or mouth, or if the white spots on your gums are especially painful or prevent you from eating, talking, or wearing your dental appliances. Always consult with a dentist if you are concerned that the white spots on your gums are a sign of something more serious. A healthcare professional will examine the white spots and may even take a biopsy, or small sample of the diseased tissue, to send to the medical laboratory for further examination.
White Spots on Gums May Be a Sign of Cancer
National dental organizations warn that white patches on your gums can also be a sign of gum cancer. These experts recommend you return to your healthcare professional for re-evaluation and who will consider performing a biopsy if the white spots on your gums do not heal within two weeks.

The Upgrade Assistant automates many of the upgrade tasks, but there are cases where you must manually modify the configuration settings after running the Upgrade Assistant. Review Table 4-1 to determine if you need to perform any additional upgrade procedures:
Table 4-1 Post-Upgrade Procedures for ODI
|If you...
|Then do this to finalize the upgrade...
Selected the Upgrade Oracle Data Integration Schemas option to upgrade the master and Work Repository schemas
Update the connection parameters to the Work Repositories as defined in the ODI topology.
See Section 4.1, "Updating the Work Repository Connection Parameters"
Chose not to Update Topology and Security Metadata during the upgrade
Manually upgrade the ODI 10g metadata so that it can be used with ODI 11g.
Updated the Topology and Security Metadata using Upgrade Assistant
Manually re-apply modifications made in Oracle Data Integrator 10g to the new ODI 11g built-in metadata objects. (The automated upgrade process erases any changes that were made to the ODI 10g objects.)
See Section 4.3, "Re-applying ODI 10g Modifications to the ODI 11g Topology and Security Metadata"
Created Open Tools in ODI 10g, and you want to continue to use them in ODI 11g
Add Open Tools to the classpath and then add as an Open Tool in ODI Studio.
Chose not to Replace KMs with Mandatory Updates during the upgrade
Manually upgrade the ODI 10g KMs so that they can be used with ODI 11g.
You must update the connection parameters to the upgraded Work Repositories as defined in the ODI topology.
To update the Work Repository Connection Parameters:
Launch the Oracle Data Integrator Console and connect to the Master Repository using Oracle Data Integrator Studio.
Expand the Work Repositories node in the Repositories accordion of the Topology Navigator.
Edit each Work Repository that is now hosted on a new server and edit its connection parameters by clicking the Connection button in the Work Repository editor toolbar.
Modify the connection parameters, User and Password, on the Definition tab. Modify the JDBC Driver and URL on the JDBC tab. Save the changes.
Validate your changes by creating and testing Repository Connections for these Work Repositories in Studio.
Modify your
odiparams script to reflect the new connection parameters to your Master Repository. This file is in the
ODI_HOME/oracledi/agent/bin directory, where
ODI_HOME is the Oracle Data Integrator installation directory.
On UNIX system:
On Windows system:
Edit the
odiparams script with a text editor to set the configuration parameters as shown in the following example. (Note that the values are provided for example only; be sure to enter your own parameters):
ODI_MASTER_DRIVER=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver ODI_MASTER_URL=jdbc:oracle:thin:@ours:1521:ORA9 ODI_MASTER_USER=ODI_11G ODI_MASTER_ENCODED_PASS=gxfpqkz074jeaCpL4XSEFzxoj8E0p ODI_SECU_WORK_REP=WORKREP ODI_SUPERVISOR=SUPERVISOR ODI_SUPERVISOR_ENCODED_PASS=fJya.vR5kvNcu9TtV,jVZEt
For each ODI Agent configuration update the odiparams.bat (.sh) script as indicated in step 5.
By default, the Upgrade Assistant enables you to import the same ODI 10g technologies, data types, data type conversions, and languages when upgrading to ODI 11g. If, however, you have selected not to have them upgraded automatically by the Upgrade Assistant, you should upgrade them manually to take advantage of the ODI 11g features. The following ODI 10g metadata should be manually updated using Oracle Data Integrator import features:
Data types and data type conversions
Default Actions
Action Groups
Security profiles
Note:Oracle Data Integrator 11g Topology and Repository Metadata exports are located in the
ODI_HOME/oracledi/xml-reference directory. These objects must be imported in 'Synonym Insert-Update' mode.
For more information on importing and exporting ODI metadata, see "Exporting/Importing" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Data Integrator.
The ODI 11g upgrade process will automatically upgrade your ODI 10g topology and security metadata objects. However, if you modified the topology and security objects that were provided by default with ODI 10g, such as user defined profiles or technologies, you must reapply your changes manually by editing the objects.
For information on modifying topology and security metatdata, see "Introduction to the Oracle Data Integrator Topology" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Data Integrator.
If you created Open Tools in ODI 10g, and you want to continue to use them in ODI 11g, you must add Open Tools to the classpath and then add as an Open Tool in ODI Studio.
For more information on using ODI tools, see "Oracle Data Integrator Tools Reference" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Data Integrator
By default, the Upgrade Assistant enables you to update ODI 10g Knowledge Modules (KMs) when upgrading to ODI 11g. Most ODI 10g KMs can be used with ODI 11g, so the update is not mandatory for all KMs.
Specifically the following KMs must be manually updated using KM Import/Replace before using ODI 11g (refer to the note below for more information):
LKM File to Oracle (EXTERNAL TABLE)
LKM File to Netezza (EXTERNAL TABLE)
LKM File to Oracle (SQLLDR)
LKM File to DB2 UDB (LOAD)
LKM SQL to Teradata (TTU)
IKM SQL to Teradata (TTU)
LKM File to Teradata (TTU)
IKM File to Teradata (TTU)
IKM Teradata to File (TTU)
LKM File to Sybase IQ (LOAD TABLE)
Note:The Knowledge Modules listed above must be updated because they use calls to the
odiRef.getTargetTable or
odiRef.getTableList APIs to request field or row separators for a file datastore. In ODI 10g, the returned values were inverted when requesting hexadecimal (
XFILE_SEP_FIELD, XFILE_SEP_ROW) and ASCII (
FILE_SEP_FIELD, FILE_SEP_ROW) separators. To address this issue, the ODI 10g KMs were implemented to work around this issue.
The 11g
OdiRef APIs return the correct values; therefore, the KMs have been modified to request the correct hexadecimal or ASCII separators.
For example:
odiRef.getTargetTable("FILE_SEP_FIELD") was replaced with
odiRef.getTargetTable("XFILE_SEP_FIELD") was replaced with
odiRef.getTargetTable("XFILE_SEP_ROW") was replaced with
odiRef.getTargetTable("FILE_SEP_ROW") was replaced with
If you customized KMs using these methods, you must make the appropriate changes to the API calls.
Also note that the following KMs are no longer available:
LKM File to SAS
LKM SAS to SQL
LKM File to MSSQL (BCP)

Item Description
Letter, [C. Robinson] to "My Dear Sir" [Henry Wilson]
Author: Robinson, Charles
Date: May 12, 1858
This important document is reportedly a copy of a letter from Charles Robinson, Lawrence, May 12, 1858, to Massachusetts Senator Henry Wilson in which the Kansas governor expresses confidence that the Lecompton Constitution will be overwhelmingly defeated in the upcoming election and makes numerous observations about the state of politics--present and future--in Kansas. Robinson believed that half the Democrats would oppose the Lecompton instrument because they knew that freestaters would dominate any state government that would be admitted under it and subsequently "the Constitution would be changed in the 'twinkling of an eye.'" Thus, he predicted no Kansas admission until at least December 1859, and in the meantime expected Democrats to "take the lead in aiding in developing the resources of Kansas, & [the Democratic Party] will claim to be the special friends of our infant State."

Nashville, Tenn. --- Head women's golf coach Chris Seibel has announced that Sarah Needleman has signed a National Letter-of-Intent with Tennessee State.
Needleman competed on the golf team at Fishers High School in Indiana for four years. She also received Hamilton Southeastern County honors.
In an article posted on school's site, Fishers assistant coach Abbey Rhodes said Needleman has been a leader for her golf team a both on and off the course.
Rhodes continued by saying: "She focused on her goal to play college golf, and achieved it while giving younger players on her team the incentive to adopt her devotion to her team. Sarah is a leader and motivator that her Fishers girls' golf team family will miss, but she's also a radiant example of what can be achieved through focus, determination, positive-thinking, and practice."
Sarah has plans to major in sports marketing in the fall.
"I am proud to bring in a student-athlete who has a solid golf game and is an excellent student," commented head women's golf coach Chris Seibel. "As a coach, it is nice to have a player receive the President's Academic Award. It gives me a feeling of comfort knowing that she will be just fine in the classroom, and we can go full force on the golf course. Sarah is the definition of a STUDENT-ATHLETE."

Charles Martin: Pet peeves of a public official
After 17 years as an Albemarle County elected official, Charles Martin can tell you the best way to influence a member of the Board of Supervisors: Don't sound like a crackpot.
Okay, he puts it more subtly. "People who have the most influence are those able to see both sides of an issue." Someone who calls and says her child will be scarred for life if he's redistricted is "making monsters and has no credibility."
Another constituent faux pas: "Having someone say because you didn't agree with them, then you didn't listen to them."
And the absolute worst way to approach a supervisor like Martin is to announce you just moved here and you can tell him how to run the county. Says Martin, "I spent 17 years trying to improve the county they liked enough to move here, and then to have them say they know better than me" on an issue is not going to win points.
Martin is ready to take a break from public office after three terms representing the Rivanna district on the BOS and five years on the school board. He has a son leaving for college, and he worries about the void that's going to create for his remaining two teens. And as a juvenile probation officer, "I'm probably more aware of what kids might be up to and the role parents should play," he says.
Still, he doesn't rule out another run for elected office in the future, even after losing in self-described "convincing defeat" as a Democrat to Republican Rob Bell for the 58th District's House of Delegate's seat in 2001. "The biggest heartbreak to me," Martin admits, "was losing my own precinct,"
Besides humility, he's got politics in his blood. Having majored in government and sociology at UVA, Martin says his job fills in the sociology side, and politics fills in his interest in government. He grew up in Patrick County, where his mother was active in politics, and he's friends with former Attorney General Mary Sue Terry, "who should be governor," Martin can't resist adding.
As for his legacy as an Albemarle County supervisor, Martin has tried to balance his votes between growth and anti-growth factions, while always being an advocate for the middle class here. He's noticed that most of the people he started working with have had to move out of the county as it becomes less affordable. "It's a struggle," he says.
And he offers one other nugget of experience, both for constituents and whoever succeeds him on the board: If you live on a dirt road and want to get it paved and are not on the waiting list now, it'll probably be 20 to 25 years before you see the pavers.
Age: 48
What brought you here? I graduated from UVA in 1978 with a B.A. in government and sociology.
What's worst about living here? The Charlottesville area has few middle-class black neighborhoods, which were plentiful where I grew up.
Favorite hangout? Home
Most overrated virtue? They all have their moments.
What would people be surprised to know about you? I love to sing and dance (including flat-footing).
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? By the time I knew the definition of fat, I was already there.
What accomplishment are you proudest of? Please don't say your family. Excuse me, but my family is my proudest accomplishment. When all is said and done and you are on your dying bed, I think your family will decide whether you die happy or sad.
What do people find most annoying about you? You will have to ask them. They do not tell me.
Whom do you admire? Martin Luther King, James Butler, Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas, Tim Duncan, and my father and mother.
Favorite book? Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End
What subject causes you to rant? Growth vs. no growth in Albemarle; affirmative action and government trying to completely control our lives
What thrills you about life in the 21st century? It's changing so rapidly and makes it hard to stay on top of it.
What creeps you out about life in the 21st century? The many people who seem to not care and show respect for life.
What do you drive? a traditional Jeep.
What's in your car tape player right now? Nothing
What's your next journey? I desire very much to spend more time with my family and grow my small business.
What's the most trouble you've ever gotten in? No comment
What do you regret? I regret not having gone straight into law school after graduation from college. I was going to "wait a year," but it has been 25 years.
Favorite comfort food? I'll eat anything. Food's not that important to me. I was a country boy, and my parents insisted I eat whatever was put on my plate.
What's always in your refrigerator? Onions, hot sauce, and diet sodas
Must-see TV? I do not watch much on TV.
Describe a perfect day. A perfect day is one in which I sleep in until 9am and never leave the house, but spend all day working outside and then have good friends over for dinner and good conversation.
Walter Mitty fantasy? I'm traveling all over the world.
Who'd play you in the movie? I know very little about movies or their stars.
Most embarrassing moment? Losing the House of Delegates race
Best advice you ever got? Never say or consider what you cannot do.
Favorite bumper sticker? Only small people concern themselves with small problems.

On Saturday, the Hingham High girls and boys crew teams competed in the Mahoney Cup on the Connecticut River in Glastonbury, CT.
The day was rainy and raw. The start for each race was challenging as currents pushed the crews around.
In an extremely close and exciting race, the girls varsity 2 boat took first place, less than one second ahead of Glastonbury. The girls in the varsity 2 boat included coxswain Lauren Mitchell, rowers Sydney Boer, Maiya Nielsen, Adeline Van Buskirk, Anna Wagner, Lily Bryant, Alex Lannon, Maeve McAuley and Breanne Eriksen.
The girls Varsity 1 boat (coxswain Emma Chase, rowers Hannah Kerber, Leah Humphrey, Lucy Nash, Emily Bryant, Claire Schnorr, Lauren Colby, Aisling Cunningham, Maureen McGonagle ) finished second in a field of six boats while the girls novice boat (coxswain Andrea Cacciuttolo, rowers Claire Gallagher, Emma Kulin, Emma O'Horo, Lindsay O'Neal, Olivia Wegener, Erika Chapin, Ellie Zieper, Erica Hennessy) also finished second in a field of seven boats.
In another tight race, the boys varsity 1 boat took second place only one second behind Shrewsbury. The boat included coxswain Tucker Watson, rowers Ethan Quinn, Eamon Flynn, Jeff Van Buskirk, Reed Schilb, Chris O'Connor, Ryan Mulflur, Brendan Chase and Wil Mullin.
Girls in the varsity 3 boat and boys in the varsity 2 and 3 boats all placed third in their heats. Fantastic performances all around for the Hingham High girls and boys.
Next week, the teams travel to Hanover, NH for the Tabor Regatta. For more information on HHS crew, please visit http://www.hinghamhighcrew.com/.

Poor Max Schreck.
The star of "Nosferatu" became the first big-screen iconic vampire nearly 90 years ago – his ears and nose pointed, his fingers long and gnarled, like a low-tech forerunner of the CGI "Lord of the Rings" villain Golum.
Schreck's portrayal inspired fear and disgust. Lust? Not so much.
These days, being a brooding, angry young hunk or pretty, pouty and rebellious is a pre-requisite for earning your fangs.
The vampires of HBO's "True Blood" exude sexiness. The young stars of the CW's "The Vampire Diaries" look like the beautiful people on any other CW show. Some of the vampires Buffy tried to slay were lady killers.
Now the gang from "Twilight" is being greeted like rock stars, judging from their reception this week at the Los Angeles premier of "New Moon," the second movie in the teen-angst vampire soap opera.
Part of the charm and the draw of "Twilight" is that the good-looking kids are the outcasts. The tales of forbidden love – get bit, become immortal and go to high school forever – offer safe sublimation for fans with raging teenage hormones.
But don't any of these sexy young vampires go for personality over looks?
Author Bram Stoker, who started the whole vampire craze in 1897 with "Dracula," described the count as "a tall old man, clean shaven save for a long white mustache, and clad in black from head to foot without a single speck of colour about him anyway" – a neckbiter, maybe, but hardly sounds like a heartbreaker.
Nosferatu aside, hunky vampires have been the general rule in the movies. Bela Lugosi's Dracula was scary, but packed a suave Eastern European mystique. Brad Pitt, Antonio Banderas, Tom Cruise and Wesley Snipes all have vamped it up.
Even the campier vampire tellings, "Dark Shadows," "Blacula," "Love at First Bite," and "Dracula: Dead and Loving It," starred appealing leading men. The Count from Sesame Street is no babe magnet, of course, but he's earned the love of generations of tykes.
The frenzy ignited by the "Twilight" crew, meanwhile, is unprecedented in vampire annals.
Kellan Lutz reports being handcuffed by an overzealous fan, and Nikki Reed has fended off touchy-feely self-proclaimed "Twi-Boys." Robert Pattinson is regularly besieged by female fans, and by false rumors – including an overdose report. "That was an exciting one for my mother," he told Access Hollywood recently.
Maybe he wishes he could be more like Max Schreck, a good-looking guy, who, thanks to makeup, didn't have to worry about being mobbed by ladies for his role as a monster.
Poor Robert Pattinson.

ECHL Game Night 11/14: Lynx at Everblades
Veteran ECHL goaltender Mike Brodeur stood on his head tonight, stopping 46 of 46 Florida Everblade shots through both regulation and overtime. But the punchless Lynx offense provided no support for Brodeur, and the Lynx lost the first of two games in Estero in a shootout 1-0. The Lynx only managed 16 shots through 4 periods: 2 in first, 5 in second, 5 in the third, and 4 in overtime. Lightning prospect forward Chris Lawrence was the first Lynx shooter in the shootout, but none of the Augusta shooters converted against undrafted Clarkson University product David Leggio.
Augusta 0 @ Florida 1 SO
G Riku Helenius: did not play
D Kevin Quick: 0-0-0; E; 2 PIM; 0 SOG
F Chris Lawrence: 0-0-0; E; 2 PIM; 1 SOG
Augusta falls to 5-4-1-1 and tomorrow night's rematch against the Florida Everblades and Minnesota Wild prospect goaltender Anton Khudobin looks bleak unless the Lynx can discover some offensive punch.

The gimpy rubber sheath around the Corsair Flash Voyager GT's exterior may not be everybody's cup of tea, but there's no denying the power of this little stick.
8GB of the fastest Flash around nets you colossal transfer speeds - so much so that we could actually write our 1.17GB test file to it in under a minute. That's a real leap forward.
You pay a premium for such performance, but still, at £61, it's hardly breaking the bank.

"She loved being a mom," said Jose Castillo. "I don't know how to describe it -- that's what she lived for, was her kids and their happiness."
Martha Castillo, 29, was the mother to Jose Rodriguez's 11-year-old son, their 5-year-old daughter and their newborn son, Nicholas Theodore Vincent, who was born two weeks early.
"I think she knew something was wrong because she said she was scared," Rodriguez said.
Nicholas was born healthy on Oct. 24, two days after Castillo was taken to the hospital with flu-like symptoms.
"She just thought she had a cold that developed into a real bad cough and a 103 degree fever," Rodriguez said.
In fact, what she had was the swine flu. Castillo died 11 days after her baby was born. She never got to see him.
"At the time, I didn't know she was high-risk," Rodriguez said. "It's one of those things where it's happening to people but you don't know the real effects until it hits someone you know."
Rodriguez said the couple's daughter had received the nasal spray but that a shot for Martha was not available.
"I don't want to sit there and be mad or frustrated or what could have been," Rodriguez said. "I just feel bad for her because she was dealt a bad hand."
Now Rodriguez is left to care for the three kids without Castillo, who, he said, took care of everything for the family, with the kids always coming first.
"Now I'm the one who's doing it, I have a newfound respect for what women do for their families," Rodriguez said. "It's real hard."
Rodriguez is asking for the public's help to pay for Castillo's funeral expenses; donations can be sent to his PayPal account (email@example.com).
The county's Health and Human Services Agency said Castillo's story is tragic but that pregnant women should not panic. Rather, officials said, women should take steps to protect themselves against the virus.
At this point, the county's vaccine stocks are severely depleted; authorities said pregnant women should contact their primary care doctors, who are getting the vaccine now.

UH Manoa scientist advances research on Pacific climateUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Gisela Speidel, (808) 956-9252
International Pacific Research Center
HONOLULU — The American Geophysical Union (AGU), which publishes 16 peer-reviewed scientific journals about the earth, atmospheric, oceanic and space sciences, selected for its January 2007 Journal Highlights a paper by Tangdong Qu, associate researcher at the International Pacific Research Center (IPRC), the climate research center at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
Qu and his co-authors, Yan Du, postdoctoral fellow at the IPRC, and Hideharu Sasaki, research scientist at the Earth Simulator Center, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, Japan, showed that a current flowing from the Pacific through the South China Sea into the Indonesian Seas impacts the heat and freshwater distributions in the Indonesian Maritime Continent. The temperature and salinity of the current changes over its course—cold, salty water flows into the South China Sea through Luzon Strait, and warm, fresh water flows out through other straits along the South China Sea and is distributed to other bodies of water within the Indonesian Maritime Continent.
Since this is the region that is closely associated with El Niño and the Indian Ocean Dipole, year-to-year fluctuations in the current could well affect climate patterns across the Indo-Pacific basin.
On the basis of their research, the authors hypothesize that the South China Sea acts as a heat capacitor, storing heat in certain years and releasing it in others. Results from a high-resolution general circulation model, the Ocean GCM for the Earth Simulator, or OFES, run on the JAMSTEC Earth Simulator, Japan's supercomputer, support the finding and the possibility that the South China Sea plays a key role in regulating SST patterns in the region.
The editors of the AGU Journals select particularly outstanding articles to be featured on the AGU Media Services website as "Journal Highlights." Roughly 15 articles of the several hundred published each month by AGU are selected as such highlights. Each AGU highlight is a one-paragraph summary of a journal paper and includes the paper's citation and contact information for all authors.
The Journal Highlight is at www.agu.or/sci_soc/prrl/jh20070102.html#five .

The US has seen reports from The Environmental Working Group (EWG) on which ingredients to avoid in cosmetics. Many Canadians are also concerned with the safety of their cosmetic and personal care products and are working to do something about it.
The David Suzuki Foundation — an advocacy group of scientific and policy experts working with government, businesses, and individuals to protect our environment and promote social change — conducted an online survey inviting Canadians to take a closer look at commonly used personal care products. Commonly used products encompass shampoo, soaps, cosmetics and other personal care products that we use on a daily basis. The survey included 6,243 participants and 12,550 products, 80 percent of which contained at least one ingredient from the Dirty Dozen list, and 57 percent containing more than one. Only 20 percent of products used by the participants contained none of the ingredients on the Dirty Dozen. Eight percent of the products reviewed in the survey carried no ingredient listing at all.
Of the toxic ingredients in the products surveyed the most common was fragrance / perfume, showing up in over half of these commonly used products. These synthetic scent ingredient compositions have been linked to such health issues as allergies, asthma, neurotoxicity, and cancer. And what makes them even more dangerous is the fact that manufacturers do not have to disclose the individual scent ingredients on product labels. Many cosmetics manufacturers want to keep their trademark scent "recipes" secret for competitive reasons. This trade secret loophole allows manufacturers using synthetic fragrance to hide hazardous ingredients under the term "fragrance".
Fragrance is just one area where the foundation would like to see governmental regulations applied. They would also like other ingredients from the Dirty Dozen replaced with safer alternatives, prohibition of anti-bacterial household products (tricosan), restrict use of terms "natural" and "organic" in products that contain harmful ingredients, and extend ingredient disclosure to household cleaners, toys, and furnishings (items which often contain no ingredient listings).
The bright side? This is one area where consumers actually do have some control. Become familiar with the Dirty Dozen and follow brands that prohibit use of these ingredients.
As for fragrance in natural products? Yes, you will see the term "Fragrance (Parfum)" on our product labels. Most natural product manufacturers will still use confidential blends of natural essential oils to create the unique scent of their products. The listing Fragrance appears with an footnote stating that only natural essential oils are used. A Natural Certification like the BDIH or NPA confirms that natural ingredients are used in these products.
At loveTrueNatural, we carry everything from shampoo and body wash, to makeup and anti-aging skin care. All safe, gentle, and free from harmful synthetic ingredients. Looking to restock your bathroom shelves? Check out our affordable natural products today!
By stocking up on safe cosmetic and personal care products for your family you are using your consumer dollars to voice your opinion on the ingredients you would like to use. And those you don't.

More bears trapped in Longwood neighborhood
Female bear, 2 cubs taken to rehab facility, FWC says
LONGWOOD, Fla. – Another bear and her two cubs were trapped on Monday in the Longwood neighborhood where a woman was mauled by a bear last week, according to Florida Fish Wildlife Conservation Commission.
FWC said the adult female bear and her two cubs have been taken to a rehab facility where they will be housed temporarily. The FWC said it will continue efforts to capture the bear's third cub.
Trapping has been suspended in the neighborhood, as "target bears are typically captured within the first four days of trapping efforts," according to FWC.
Cameras will be put up in the area so biologists can continue to monitor the area.
"The FWC will continue to work with this community and our partners to continue to vigilantly monitor the neighborhood and, if needed, resume trapping efforts," said Nick Wiley, executive director of Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
The latest bear trapping comes after a 200-pound male bear was caught and euthanized Sunday night. FWC said that bear "closely fits the description" of the animal that was involved in the mauling of 54-year-old Susan Chalfant.
Chalfant was attacked by a bear while walking two small dogs on the night of Dec. 2. She suffered facial injuries and was hospitalized. Local 6 has learned Chalfant is at home but still recovering from serious facial wounds.
A bear cub that was also captured last week was found to not fit the description of the bear involved in Chalfant's attack and is being housed at a Crystal River rehabilitation center, according to FWC. FWC said the bear remains in captivity and is doing well.

Most Popular Wines in Maryland's Tasting Rooms
Fall's Most Popular Wines in Maryland's Tasting Rooms
There are new grapes names being mentioned in Maryland's tasting rooms you should become familiar with. Albariño, Viognier and Cabernet Franc are the most popular wines you will be tasting this fall.
Albariño is a Spanish grape that made Maryland its home. I remember first trying Albariño four or five years ago at Serpent Ridge Vineyard. It was the first and only place I could find it in Maryland. Gradually, this white wine appeared in Maryland's tasting rooms. It is extremely popular in Frederick and Carroll Counties. It has moved its way east to Baltimore and Cecil Counties. Boordy Vineyard's Albariño won Best in Show in Maryland's 2016 Governor's Cup.
It is a white wine pale lemon color, high in acid, with lemon, orange rind, and subtle floral scents on the nose. It has medium to high alcohol and flavors of grapefruit and almonds on the palate. Bodegas Gonzalez-Ruggiero procedures a delightful Albariño Bodegas Gonzalez-Ruggiero is one of Maryland's newest vineyards located in Rising Sun.
Viognier is Virginia's state grape. I understand why. It grows incredibly well in this region. Viognier is a medium- full body white wine. It is low in acid, has floral and honeysuckle aromas, and tropical fruit the palate like kiwi and mango. It is easy to drink and brings a smile to your face with every sip.
It is not surprising that Viognier popularity has reached its way to Maryland. A select few of Maryland vintners produced Viognier previously, but it is more abundant in Maryland's tasting rooms in the past two years. Big Cork has joined the of parade of Maryland vineyards. It is no coincidence Big Cork Vineyard makes Viognier. Dave Collins, Big Cork's talent winemaker, was noteworthy winemaker in Virginia. He brought his masterful skills to Maryland. Big Cork's Viognier is a beautiful slightly golden in color, full-bodied and low acidity wine. It has traditional traits known to Viognier. Green melon and orange blossoms flavors are most pronounced.
Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc is the popular under study to Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a red grape almost black in appearance. It is used as a blending grape. Cabernet Franc and Merlot are used in Bordeaux style wines.
Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc share similar characteristics, the same level of richness and intensity. Although Cabernet Franc has big bold flavors, it has slightly milder tannin and more red fruit flavors making it a smoother wine to enjoy. More and more Maryland winemakers have discovered this fact and are now making Cabernet Franc the star of the show.
Boordy Vineyards 2012 Cabernet Franc Landmark Series is a wonderful representation of Maryland's Cabernet Franc. It has a ruby red color with a jammy flavors like red berry preserves and smoky notes on the nose. It has a long finish of earthy flavors, vanilla and cherries.

Intimate Gardens Delicate and determined. Graceful and proud of her femininity. That is the Luisa Beccaria woman for Spring – Summer 2015. The collection plays between the intimacy of an alcove and the lush world of a flower garden. The shapes are sinuous and soft: the dresses caress and accentuate the feminine silhouette, without constrictions, like wearing delicate lingerie throughout the day. Light tulle shirt-dress with embroidery and appliqué are seen on satin slip dresses. Floral prints create precious textures with an embroidery effect. The embellishments run across the entire collection, decorating a-line skirts, soft shifts and jewelled bustiers. The "Parka" shape inspires light overcoats, with a mix of transparent and metallic light. The decoration becomes more refined for the evening: the maxi dresses shine with over-embroidered lace and glittering flowers. The colour palette starts by focusing on watercolour tones, alternating warm colours such as strawberry pink with the softness of light blues and mauve. We finish with dramatic black, always brightened by appliqué, inspired by nature.

Couple missing in Peru
Families of the couple, Garrett Hand and Jamie Neal, said they last heard from the pair on January 25, a day before they were expected to arrive in Lima after a journey of several hundred miles from Cusco, in the country's mountainous interior southeast of the capital, the embassy said in a statement.
"Embassy officers are ... in close contact with Peruvian authorities who are working diligently to find Mr. Hand and Ms. Neal," said the statement, furnished to Reuters by information officer Leslie Nunez Goodman.
The couple, both 25, were longtime friends who began dating last spring or summer and lived together in Oakland, California, east of San Francisco, said Neal's boss, Jeff Jerge, who owns a Bay-area bicycle shop, the Pedaler, where she works.
Hand had worked summers as a fisherman in Alaska, he said.
"My worries are pretty great," Jerge told Reuters. "They had been corresponding (from their trip) fairly regularly, and it ceased that day (January 25)," he said, adding that no money has been withdrawn from either of their bank accounts since then. He said he worried they had been abducted.
Their disappearance coincides with a travel advisory issued by the U.S. Embassy on February 13 warning of foreign tourists near Cusco and the ancient Incan city of Machu Picchu of a potential kidnapping threat.
The warning was widely interpreted as being linked to efforts by a remnant band of Maoist Shining Path rebels to repel a government push to regain control of jungle valleys in the Cusco region that are rife with coca cultivation and cocaine trafficking.
But the embassy statement about the missing couple said diplomats knew of "no connection between the disappearance of these two U.S. citizens" and the travel advisory issued in February.
The embassy statement that the couple were last been heard from on January 25 en route from Cusco to Lima appeared to be at odds with accounts of Peruvian police and the Arcoiris ecological community in the Amazonian region of Iquitos, located hundreds of miles northeast of the capital.
Arcoiris told Reuters the couple had stayed there for five days before departing by boat on an upriver journey to Ecuador on February 16, three weeks after their families said they received their last communication from the pair.
Hand and Neal originally had intended to bicycle from the San Francisco Bay area to South America through Mexico, but friends concerned about security in Mexico persuaded the couple to fly to South America and start their trip there instead, Jerge said.
Another co-worker at the bike shop, Ron Hammer, said the pair, who were studying Spanish in preparation for their trip, had mostly been camping by tent during their journey and on occasion stayed with extended family of people they knew in South America.
Family members and friends of the pair have begun collecting money to offer as a reward, and were seeking to get flyers with pictures of the couple and information about them distributed in Peru.

Jay Z Urged to Cut Ties With Barneys New York After Racial Profiling Continues
Jay Z is caught in a heated controversy about his relationship with luxury retailer Barneys New York after allegations of racial profiling.
According to the New York Daily News, three black shoppers were racially profiled after legally purchasing items at the high-end store. The newspaper cites that 19-year-old Trayon Christian was one of the alleged victims. He was apparently handcuffed and detained by police after using his debit card to buy a $349 Ferragamo belt.
Hov has partnered with Barneys for a special holiday collection featuring many high-end items. The collection includes a black leather backpack, a black square-print scarf, a hoodie, a tailored jacket, a black leather duffel with faux crocodile trim and an 18-karat-gold double ring. The recent controversy has sparked outrage on social media as many are petitioning for the Brooklyn rapper to cut ties with Barneys.
Some celebrities have decided to speak out. "Looks like I'm going to have to put #Barneys on time out. This #ShoppingWhileBlack is out of hand." tweeted Star Jones.
Activist Al Sharpton is slated to meet with Barneys' CEO Mark Lee, who has since apologized for the treatment of those customers profiled for making expensive purchases. "No customer should have the unacceptable experience," Lee said in a statement.
