NEW YORK—Unemployed and desperately worried about losing his home in a California gated community, Karthik Rajaram shot his wife, kids and mother-in-law before turning his new handgun upon himself. "We believe this individual had become despondent recently over his financial dealings and the financial situation of his household," Los Angeles police said. One of his sons, age 19, was a Fulbright scholar.
The previous week, a 90-year-old Ohio woman tried to commit suicide when cops tried to evict her from her foreclosed house. Fortunately, the gunshot wound wasn't fatal.
The financial crisis has claimed a number of lives, but few as poetically as that of Ian Beach of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Like a character in a Kate Chopin novella, the 47-year-old father of two "apparently took painkillers, drank a bottle of whisky and walked into the sea," reported The Daily Mail in 2006, when the current epidemic of home foreclosures began to ramp up. "My trade in electronics gradually faded away and profit margins collapsed," Beach explained in his suicide note. "I was not able to get another trade going to support us in time, and meanwhile debt built up. Bankruptcy was an option but the house problem was the last straw."
He figured his wife could use his life insurance to keep their family home. Guess again. Death by suicide is usually exempt.
It's time to stop the bleeding. It's time to stop the evictions.
We don't want to repeat the Great Depression, when at least 23,000 Americans killed themselves. Moreover, foreclosure-related evictions destroy neighborhoods and further erode the economy. As newly homeless families wander the streets or couch surf with relatives, their empty residences become irresistible temptations for drug users, looters and vandals. Studies show that the average foreclosed home reduces the value of 48 neighboring houses by at least $5,000—in many cases, as much as $15,000. That's a net total of nearly $250,000 in lost value for each foreclosed home.
The median value of an American mortgage for 2005 (the most recent year data was available) was $93,000. Let's look at how foreclosures are bad for everybody. If the guy next door is facing foreclosure, making your payments on time isn't enough. It's cheaper to team up with your neighbors and pay off your neighbor's mortgage than to let his empty house lower your equity.
Some people took out subprime mortgages they couldn't afford. Do they deserve foreclosure? I don't know. What I do know is that evicting homeowners hurts society so badly—in terms of increased homelessness, higher crime and health-care costs, unemployment benefits paid to evicted people forced to move away from their homes, and reduced real estate values—that it ends up costing more than the amount of money owed.
In Chicago, the Cook County sheriff has ordered his deputies to stop foreclosure-related evictions. "It's one of [the] most gut-wrenching things we do, seeing little children put out on the street with their possessions," said Sheriff Thomas Dart. He said there has been an increasing number of renters—who have done nothing wrong and paid their rent on time—being thrown out of their homes as banks seize buildings from landlords who are in default. But his edict protects owners as well.
Sheriff Dart is an American hero. Now we need a President Dart for the rest of America.
It isn't going to be John McCain. McCain's proposed solution is the same tired litany of help-the-rich reductions of capital gains and dividend taxes Republicans have been pushing forever. Trust me on this, McCain: People getting evicted for defaulting on their mortgages don't have capital gains or dividends to tax.
There's more hope with Barack Obama. The Democratic candidate has apparently been cribbing from my 2004 book Wake Up! You're Liberal: How We Can Take America Back From the Right, and I like it. He's promoting my then-derided ideas for a tax break for companies that hire American workers rather than ship jobs overseas, and abolishing the despicable tax on unemployment benefits imposed by Ronald Reagan.
On foreclosures, however, Obama is weak. He wants a 90-day moratorium on evictions. A nice start, but what happens after that? It's not like the economy is going to recover any time soon.
The right answer, the long-term solution, is to replicate the Wall Street bailout for individuals. It took a few weeks to get it right, but securities markets seem to like the coordinated effort by the European nations and the United States to pump cash into troubled banks in exchange for equity stakes—in effect, partial nationalization.
And they said socialism was dead.
The federal government should offer people (homeowners—not flippers, speculators or owners of second vacation houses) the same deal as the banks.
Let's say you fall behind on your mortgage payments. A new government homeowner bailout agency—can we call it Teddie Mac?—offers you a choice. Option one: Deal with the tender mercies of your lender's Mumbai-based customer service reps. Option two: Teddie Mac pays your mortgage. Your lender gets paid. You stay in your home. The same offer applies to property taxes—we don't want any House of Sand and Fog-type evictions either.
What does Teddie Mac get? Equity in your home equal to the value of the payments you miss. If and when you sell your property, you settle up with Teddie at the closing. If the economy recovers and real estate prices resume their long-term climb, Teddie and the taxpayers make a profit. If prices stagnate or fall, it's still worth it because society saves all those foreclosure-related expenses we talked about earlier.
As of 2005, there were about 50 million home mortgages worth roughly $4.6 trillion. According to the experts, only about $1.4 trillion of that is at risk of foreclosure—and that's the total, not the amount it would cost to stop evictions. If the feds were to take over payments in exchange for equity stakes in people's homes—the same "partial nationalization" approach being applied to the big banks, remember—the net downside risk would be significantly less, probably a couple hundred billion or so.
In the worst-case scenario, bailing out homeowners would cost less—a lot less—than the cost of the war against Iraq. It's less—a lot less—than the $700 billion-plus Wall Street bailout. It's a hell of a lot less than the $5 trillion George W. Bush has added to the federal deficit.
Otherwise, prepare yourself for more grisly tales of desperate homeowners with easy access to handguns.

Okay. Can someone please explain to me why he voted no? I'm just not understanding it completely.The House voted 414-1 for the legislation Thursday, a week after it passed the Senate on a 95-0 vote. The only member of Congress to vote against the bill was Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas.
"Because of the federal government's poor record in protecting privacy, I do not believe the best way to address concerns about the misuse of genetic information is through intrusive federal legislation," Paul said.

EQ422, Revised July 2017
Septage is the material pumped from residential septic tanks and similar treatment works.
The standards for biosolids from septage differs from other sludges. This publication addresses state and federal regulations and standards.
EPA regulations, under Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 503 (40 CFR 503), establish the minimum national standards for the use and disposal of domestic sludge. The standards include limiting biosolids applications to land, including septage.
Biosolids is domestic wastewater sludge that meets standards for use as a fertilizer or soil conditioner. These standards for septage include pathogen reduction, vector requirements and best management practices.
Applying biosolids to the land uses the available nitrogen, phosphorus and potash as fertilizer for growing crops. It is an environmentally sound practice sanctioned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
Reusing biosolids on crops, pastures and timberland reduces pollution of the waters of the state. It eliminates the environmental risks and costs associated with sludge disposal options, benefiting all Missouri citizens.
Under state and federal regulations, the contract hauler is responsible for complying with all sludge regulations for septage pumping, including final disposal. The contract hauler must meet all requirements.
Haulers who land apply septage (biosolids) must obtain a state permit. Haulers who transport to another permitted treatment facility are not required to have a permit. Homeowners are not responsible for sludge removed by contract haulers.
Since Feb. 19, 1994, contract haulers that apply septage must comply with the new EPA sludge standards. They must register with EPA or apply for state permits. A general permit is available from the DNR.
Septage biosolids that meet the standards for pathogens and vectors are safe to apply when following best management practices.
Best management practices include agronomic loading rates, soil conservation practices and other site restrictions.
Monitoring and limitations for metals are not required because of the relatively low concentration of metals found in residential septage (Table 1).
Table 1
Typical concentrations of pollutants in residential septage. (Domestic Septage Regulatory Guidance, EPA-832-B-92-005, September 1993. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.)
Septage values are in the lower 10 percent of NSSS data. Unpublished statistical comparison by Missouri Department of Natural Resources using an EPA computer file of the NSSS data base.
Residential septic tanks are designed to retain sludge for one to three years before pumping. This long retention time provides a larger reduction in pathogens and vectors in the tank, as compared to other mechanical-type treatment facilities.
Therefore, federal regulations provide a special category for lime stabilization of septage.
Lime stabilization of septage is recommended to meet pathogen and vector requirements for biosolids applied to crops, pastures or timberland. To meet Class B sludge requirements, maintain the septage at 12 pH for at least 30 minutes before land application.
Add 50 pounds of hydrated lime to each 1,000 gallons of septage. Use an auxiliary vacuum line to pump the dry lime into the tank truck as the septage is pumped into the tank, and uniformly mix the materials in the tank.
Do not add the lime to the septic tank, as this will harm the beneficial bacteria needed in the septic tank.
Do not apply more than 30,000 gallons of septage per acre per year. This rate is suitable for all agricultural crops, pastures or timberland in Missouri. Since this is a conservative rate, nitrogen testing of the septage is not required. (Table 1.)
Keep detailed reports on file for at least five years showing the number of acres, location, ownership and application dates for each land-application field. The records must be available for inspection by the DNR.
Annually summarize and submit the records in a calendar year report due Jan. 28. An annual report form (Form S) is provided by the DNR and has been approved for use by the EPA.
The EPA defines septage in 40 CFR 503.9 (F). It includes pumping from septic tanks, cesspools, portable toilets, Type III marine sanitation devices and similar treatment works that receive only domestic sewage.
Sludge from domestic wastewater treatment facilities serving less than 150 people is considered equivalent to septage by DNR. Therefore, these "similar treatment works" may follow the requirements for septage in this publication.

Peavy sharp in debut; Sox beat Arizona 5-2
August 03. 2013 11:03PM
Redsox 5, Arizona 2
Jake Peavy tossed seven-plus solid innings in his Boston debut and Shane Victorino homered and drove in two runs as the Red Sox evened their interleague series with Arizona at one game apiece.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia provided insurance with a two-run homer in the eighth inning and Jacoby Ellsbury had an RBI single to extend his hitting streak to nine games.
Boston moved 1 1/2 games ahead of Tampa Bay in the American League East.
With the contest tied at 1-1, Stephen Drew and Brandon Snyder singled to lead off the seventh against Patrick Corbin (12-3) before a wild pitch put runners on the second and third. Ellsbury followed with an RBI bloop single to center before Victorino's sacrifice fly gave the Red Sox a 3-1 advantage.
Peavy (9-4), acquired in a three-team, seven-player deal at the trade deadline, overcame Paul Goldschmidt's second homer in as many days to handcuff Arizona.
The veteran exited to a nice ovation after permitting two runs on four hits while striking out seven. Craig Breslow replaced Peavy after Wil Nieves singled to lead off the eighth and promptly loaded the bases.
Junichi Tazawa relieved Breslow and allowed an RBI single to Aaron Hill, but Jonny Gomez threw out Cliff Pennington at the plate to preserve the one-run lead.
Saltalamacchia's 10th homer gave Boston a 5-2 lead and Koji Uehara retired the side in the ninth for his 10th save.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Goldschmidt led off the fourth by depositing an 0-2 fastball from Peavy into the bullpen in right-center field for his 26th homer, matching Tony Clark's 2005 effort for most in a season by a Diamondbacks' first baseman. Victorino answered in the fifth by lining a 1-1 fastball from Corbin into the Green Monster seats. ... Corbin suffered his second straight loss after yielding three runs on eight hits in six-plus innings. ... Ellsbury's stolen base in the seventh inning gave him 40 in a season for the third time in his career - the second Red Sox to do so (Tris Speaker, 1912-14).

*** (out of four)
There aren't many good leading roles out there for actresses. There just aren't. Last year Rashida Jones co-wrote one for herself and shined in the ultimately disappointing "Celeste and Jesse Forever," and now Lake Bell ("Children's Hospital," "No Strings Attached") has written and directed her first starring role with "In a World …"
The movie's just as likable as she is—which is to say, very.
The daughter of voiceover legend Sam Sotto (Fred Melamed), Carol (Bell) has grown up in a man's world. The industry doesn't want a female sound, her dad says. He also tells his 31-year-old daughter to get out of his house because his 30-year-old girlfriend (Alexandra Holden) is moving in. "I'm going to support you by not supporting you," Sam explains. How kind.
While crashing with her bickering sister Dani (Michaela Watkins) and brother-in-law Moe (Rob Corddry), Carol, a freelance vocal coach, nails her chance at doing voiceover for a movie trailer ("Welcome to the Jungle Gym," a children's romantic comedy). This might be troubling for rising star Gustav Warner (Ken Marino), but he doesn't know who Carol is when he hits on her. He just wants to tell her she's pretty.
"In a World" screams "filmmaker's first feature," mostly in a good way. Bell finds little pockets of humanity and humiliation that feel observant, not judgmental. She generates sweetness in the relationship between Carol and Louis (Demetri Martin), her colleague with a crush, which could have felt generic. The film also lacks energy and intensity other than the distance felt between Dani and Moe, an incongruous plotline whose resolution skips the part of people actually trying to work through the challenges of marriage.
But "In a World …" has a sincere, sincerely pleasant rhythm and a welcome commitment to women taking charge of their careers and professional demeanor. It's a message movie guided by good sense, and a good sense of humor.

The fireball that exploded over Russia last week left a wake of destruction but thankfully no lost lives. Here's what S&T's staff has managed to piece together about what happened.On February 15th a meteor blast over the Russian Chelyabinsk region wowed the world.
The bolide streaked through Russian skies at 9:20 a.m. local time and outshone the Sun. One minute and 28 seconds later, shock waves from its deceleration and explosion collapsed walls and blew out roughly 100,000 square meters (1 million square feet) of windows. (The delay is due to the speed of sound being much less than the speed of light.)
The meteoroid exploded almost directly over Chelyabinsk, an industrial city of about 1 million people. Damage varied widely, even within the same building: shock waves behave like bouncing balls, bludgeoning some buildings and sparing others depending on how they're directed and how well they resonate with certain materials (glass is particularly vulnerable). More than 1,000 people were injured, mostly by flying glass. (One amazing photo of this damage is from a theater in Chelyabinsk.)
Collected fragments are ordinary chondrites, meteorites that make up more than 95% of all stony meteorites recovered. Despite early reports that the event blasted a hole in the frozen Lake Chebarkul, about 80 km (50 miles) west of Chelyabinsk, it's now unclear whether the fireball and the hole are actually related.
By an amazing coincidence, the impact occurred just 16 hours before the predicted flyby of asteroid 2012 DA14, whose estimated diameter of 50 m (160 feet) is more than twice as big as the Russian meteoroid's estimated size. But the two objects were moving in completely different directions: the asteroid moved south-to-north, the bolide east-to-west. Initial calculations put the outer end of the Russian object's former orbit in the asteroid belt, unlike 2012 DA14's, which has an orbit similar to Earth's.
"This is not related to 2012 DA14," says Peter Brown (University of Western Ontario, Canada). "This is perhaps the most certain aspect of the entire event."
While 16 hours might seem a short period of time, Earth moves about 30 km/s (67,000 mph) through its orbit, meaning that in those few hours the planet traveled more than 1 million miles.
"This innocent asteroid was run over by Earth," says Lindley Johnson, program executive of NASA's near-Earth object (NEO) program. (Note: innocent, not harmless.)Brown's analysis suggests the meteoroid entered Earth's atmosphere at about 20 km/s, a speed typical of NEOs. It entered at a grazing angle of less than 20° and burst at an altitude of 20 to 30 km. Based on ground-based infrasound measurements, between 20 and 30 seconds passed between atmospheric entry and the meteor's airborne disintegration. The estimated explosive energy, equivalent to 470,000 tons of TNT, corresponds to about 30 Hiroshima bombs. Given a chrondritic composition, that energy release implies that the original object had a diameter of about 17 m (54 feet) and a mass of about 10,000 metric tons.
An event of this magnitude happens about once per century. It's the biggest known impact since the Tunguska explosion in 1908, which exploded with 185 Hiroshimas a mere 8½ km above the ground and flattened trees covering 2,000 square kilometers of rural Siberia. The most recent event was a fireball over Indonesia in 2009, with an estimated energy of 50,000 tons of TNT.
Thankfully no one was killed by the Chelyabinsk event, but that's no guarantee for future safety. The one-two combo with 2012 DA14 should serve as a wake-up call, experts say.
"It's one thing to talk in the abstract about blown-out windows, et cetera," says Dan Durda (Southwest Research Institute). "It's quite another to be reminded that there are very often people behind and under that shattered glass. That's why we care about these events and that's why it's worth the investment to survey for smaller NEOs and to plan for preventing larger impacts."
Brown adds that the value isn't just in startling us from our cosmic doze. "The major significance is that this is the first well-documented event which has clear ground-level effects," he says. "This will permit calibration of entry models for tens-of-meter-sized objects for the first time."
Such small objects are difficult to track, and of the 9,500 near-Earth asteroids discovered so far most are less than 300 m (1,000 feet) across. Former astronaut Ed Lu, who now head the B612 Foundation, estimates that we've only found 1% of objects the size of 2012 DA14.

This Q&A with Baruch Levis an extension of the "Movers & Shakers" article from the July 2001 edition of Knowledge Management magazine.
Q: Do people tend to listen to you about measuring intangible assets to a different extent if you're within a commercial context like a consulting firm versus being an academic?
A: Being in academia but also deeply routed in practice like I am, with lots of consulting initiatives, and working very closely with regulators, with the FASB [Financial Accounting standards Board], with the European Union to some extent, provides some incremental credibility. Maybe not justifiably so, but it gives me credibility over consultants, who are usually viewed as selling something. I appear as someone who does not immediately, at least, want to sell something.
I think what gives me credibility is the amount of research that I'm doing. When I come with an issue, I don't speak about conjectures. I don't speak about a recent case that I have seen or a survey that I did. I speak about solid empirical research. When I started talking six or seven years ago about the terrible impact that intangibles have or the accounting for intangibles has on the usefulness of financial information for investors, I came with empirical evidence based on a sample of 5,000 companies showing the association between earnings and stock returns.
I'm constantly surprised by how open people are to really good empirical evidence, not something that you massage. I have a recent paper, for example, in the Journal of Finance that looks at a sample of 300,000 transactions by insiders--company officers in companies with intensive R&D when R&D is just a measure of an intangible. By trading the stocks of their own companies they earned three to four times more than insiders in companies without R&D. This immediately got coverage in the New York Times and got the SEC looking into these issues. But it comes with the weight of the evidence.
Q: There is sort of a positivistic implication in what you just said. Would you contend that the weight of that evidence is what will move the Securities and Exchange Commission or some other regulating body to change accounting and related standards that apply to intangibles?
A: No doubt about that.
Q: So you think that it is actually the evidence that will make the difference?
A: Yes, and very specific evidence. I will give you what I call the Joe Lieberman case. About three years ago, I got a telephone call from someone who identified himself as the main assistant to Joe Lieberman [the senator from Connecticut]: "The senator heard about your activities in intellectual capital and he wants to know what's going on in this area." Since I wasn't prepared for this phone call, the first things that came to mind were issues of financial reporting and information. The assistant wrote down a few things, then a day later, he called back and said, "The senator asks, where is the damage? Where is the harm?" At first, I didn't even understand the question. Then he explained it to me it and it really had a tremendous effort on what I've done since then.
Basically he was saying that talking about information problems really isn't worth much unless there's a tangible negative impact. To get public policy moved you have to show that there is some kind of damage to people, the economy or the stock market, for instance, if firms cannot raise money. It became clear to me that demonstrating harm is exactly what is needed to move people.
If you can link, for example, information problems to volatility of stock prices, people get excited. Wow, now you're talking business in this case, because we know that volatility is extremely harmful and due to the incredible volatility that we have had in recent months, companies cannot raise funds anymore. Stock capital is very high. People are losing money, losing confidence. To get movement in the public arena--and this is not necessarily to get new regulations--you have to show some kind of an impact, hopefully an adverse impact.
As this guy from Lieberman's office said, this at most should concern accountants, but why should we be concerned about it? Now, every piece of research I do ends with the consequences.
Q: So this is the return of the productivity question that so bedeviled us about ten years ago?
A: Yes. That's the time to pause and start imposing some reasonable measurement.
I want to talk about valuation of intangibles because it's a very important issue and many people really don't understand it. Valuation of intangibles, individual intangibles, is incredibly difficult and may even be impossible. The reason is that intangibles to a large extent are determined by the context. A patent that IBM has can be extremely valuable, but if I owned this patent it's completely useless. The context determines to a large extent the value. Also, most intangibles interact very strongly with other efforts. So to somehow break this interaction is very, very difficult. Value of R&D depends a lot on the training of employees, for example, and on the value of your salespeople.
But here comes my point. Most people either intentionally or unintentionally use these difficulties to knock the whole structure. Some people do it intentionally, maliciously saying, for example, that it's impossible to value intangibles or nothing can be done about it, which is nonsense. Even if it's impossible to value intangibles, you can provide lots of very valuable information about them. You see, the inability to value does not preclude you from providing important measures and good measures that can guide both insiders and outsiders.
Q: Measures meaning quantified metrics?
A: Exactly. Take the measure that we just discussed a few minutes ago, which I call innovation revenues. Okay, how much of your revenues come from recently introduced products? Incredibly important measure. Those studies have shown that it is highly correlated with market values of companies. But this measure has absolutely nothing to do with valuation, absolutely nothing. It doesn't value the ability of the firm to innovate. It doesn't value the ability of firms to bring products to the market, but it's an important measure.
Take information about employee training. I would like to know how much the firm spends on employee training because I would like to benchmark it against other companies. I would like to benchmark it against the past. I would like to see, for example, what happens to employee training in difficult periods. Do they cut it immediately and significantly or do they recognize that it is a very important long-term investment and not cut it significantly? So this is incredibly valuable information both to insiders and outsiders but it has absolutely nothing to with valuation.
My point is that you really miss the issue when you just focus on valuation. It's really not the objective of the information system to provide you with value.
Q: Give me your definition of an intangible.
A; An intangible is a source of future benefits that doesn't have a physical embodiment. A source of future benefits is basically the definition of an asset. If there are no future benefits, it's not an asset, it's an expense. The thing that differentiates intangibles from physical assets is the lack of a physical embodiment. This is a clean, short definition. People have all kinds of examples but many years ago in a law course, I remember the professor saying that if you need examples, you have a bad definition. A good definition should stand on its own. Examples are always coming because the definition is weak and you have to support it. I think this definition stands on its own. Of course you can speak about specifications. I have my own specification for different classes of intangibles.

Actually it doesn't. One could conceivably be all-powerful but not exceptionally intelligent.
Being a Christian, I've made my decision. That decision offers no compromise; therefore, I'm closed to anything else.
I always say what I mean. But sometimes I'm a sarcastic prick whose tone can't be properly communicated via text.
I've really had it with these hypocrites.
"I'm doing science and I'm still alive."--J.C.
Oh for fuck sake. And people still fail to realise that these people are charlatans and hypocrites? How can people still have trust in these anti-gay lobbyists? [snipped]
Just to be clear, people do realise this is a case of paedophilia and incest, and NOT homosexuality, right?
Except for the part where she had sex with her daughter, it's incest, paedophilia and homosexuality in one. The sad thing is people will use that as ammunition again homosexuals.

Stress-testing an instance of SQL Server 2005 can be difficult. Back in the old days of SQL Server 6.0, it was fairly easy to build a test suite of SQL statements that represented a realistic server workload. But now, with 64-bit servers and extremely fast CPU and disk subsystems, it's difficult to construct a stress test that can actually stress a SQL Server instance. To help you more easily create a realistic stress test, the SQL Server Storage Engine team has introduced SQLIOSim, a stress-testing tool that can generate a load sufficient to overwork almost any hardware configuration.
SQLIOSim was created by Bob Dorr, a senior escalation engineer in Microsoft's SQL Server Support team, and the tool is now owned by the SQLOS development team and program manager, Jerome Halmans. SQLIOSim doesn't generate an I/O load by replaying SQL captured from real sessions connected to the target SQL Server. Instead, the tool generates the same type and pattern of I/O requests on a disk subsystem as SQL Server would, then verifies that the data is written exactly as SQL Server would. You can then use the information that the tool provides to determine whether your current disk subsystem is adequate for the application at hand. The key word here is simulate because SQLIOSim creates its own I/O stress load; it doesn't generate transactions that you'd actually use against a user database.
When you download SQLIOSim, you'll get a single, compressed file containing two executables: the GUI version of the tool in the SQLIOSim.exe file and the command-line version in the SQLIOSim.com file. The compressed file also contains useful sample configuration files that you can quickly customize to fit your specific testing needs.
You have a great deal of flexibility in how you configure the SQL Server I/O stress test. For example, you could:
- test the behavior of DBCC CHECKDB while the system is in use
- see how bulk-load jobs perform on the disk subsystem
- evaluate the benefits of single versus multiple file setups for SQL Server databases
- see the difference in behavior of OLTP, mixed-use, and OLAP applications by tuning the randomness of the requests
The two versions of the program support a variety of operating parameters, such as the duration of the test run and the size of the data file, the number of CPUs on the computer, the affinity mask for the CPUs, the maximum available physical memory, the number of test cycles, and the cache hit ratio. The blog entry at http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlserverstorageengine/archive/2006/10/06/SQLIOSim-available-for-download.aspx provides full details about the various command-line switches and configuration settings available for SQLIOSim.
By default, the output of SQLIOSim is stored in an XML file called SQLIOSim. log.xml, from which you can extract the raw data and manipulate it as needed. But remember that SQLIOSim is not a performance-measurement tool. It's a stress-testing tool that can generate a load capable of overwhelming most disk subsystems, even powerful, multi-spindle RAIDs. Therefore, I recommend that during your tests, you track several specific Windows Performance Monitor counters: disk sec/read, disk sec/transfer, disk sec/write, disk bytes/sec, and queue lengths. If SQLIOSim finds any errors, they'll be reported in the log file.
SQLIOSim is a must-have utility for developers and DBAs who are building highly scalable applications for the SQL Server platform. Be sure to visit the Tool Time forum at http://sqlforums.windowsitpro.com/web/forum and post your comments and tool recommendations.
BeneFits: Creates a realistic stress-test load that accurately simulates any I/O pattern that SQL Server 2005 could generate.

DOE A to Z: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
Commissioner of Education David C. Hespe announced today that 400,000 guides are being sent to New Jersey public schools to explain the new 4th and 8th grade tests to parents, how they were developed and their importance to the future of all students.
Schools are being asked to distribute the publications A Parent's Guide to the New Elementary School Proficiency Assessment and A Parent's Guide to the New Grade Eight Proficiency Assessment to parents of children in the 4th, 5th, 8th and 9th grades. Students at these grade levels either took one of the new assessments in the spring or will take one next year. In an accompanying letter, Commissioner Hespe urges all chief school administrators to share the eight-page guides at parent/teacher conferences or find other ways to deliver them to parents.
"The ESPA and GEPA are designed to find out how well students are meeting the new and much more challenging core curriculum content standards adopted in 1996," Commissioner Hespe said. "The standards were the product of one of the most ambitious and comprehensive public outreach efforts ever conducted by the department. More than a thousand people provided input. The end product was a set of standards that teachers, business leaders and the higher education community agreed New Jersey students must meet if they are to lead productive lives in the new millennium.
"Since these tests are new and more rigorous than those children and their parents may have been accustomed to, understandably there are some questions about their purpose and the final scores. The parent guides answer frequently asked questions about the tests and show parents how to get the most from the information on their child's score report."
The guides, which cost $22,000 to publish, also contain sample test questions and helpful hints for parents on ways they can help their children achieve higher academic standards and prepare them for success in college or the workforce.
Commissioner Hespe said the guides are just one step the department is taking to get more information about the testing program into the public domain.
In response to concerns raised by members of the education community, the department will provide practice versions of the ESPA and GEPA to schools in the coming months so teachers and students can gain a better understanding of what the tests are like.
"Complete practice tests, with all accompanying scoring material, will be provided to every teacher in the state," Commissioner Hespe said. "We will get ESPA and GEPA practice tests in language arts literacy to the schools in early to mid-January. Practice tests in mathematics and science will soon follow."
The department will also add a section to its website that will contain the practice tests and demonstrate the holistic method used to tabulate the results. "Teachers and parents will be able to see how open-ended questions are scored and review for themselves the rigorous procedures used during the process," the commissioner said.
The state has a contract with Measurement Inc. of Durham, N.C., to score the ESPA and GEPA. All scorers employed by the firm have college degrees and undergo special training. Two scorers review the answers to open-ended questions. If there is a significant divergence of opinion between the two, a third scorer is consulted.
"We believe the parent guides, practice tests and the scoring information that we will post on the web should calm concerns and dispel much of the misinformation and misconceptions some have about the tests," Commissioner Hespe said. "In the meantime, the department will continue to examine the tests to determine if they can be improved and shortened. As long as the diagnostic value of the tests are not compromised, we will seriously consider and pursue all suggestions we receive from parents and educators about how the assessments can be made even better."

Tuesday, March 27, 2012 - Roman and Paul - Screen Test - FULL CONTACT
Roman and Paul - Screen Test - FULL CONTACT
We fixed Roman Ditrich up for a Screentest with Paul Fresh. I must say he was very good indeed. So good, in fact, that we slotted him in for our latest Wank Party that is already online. Paul does a brief interview with Roman at the start, as they sit on the bed in just their underwear. Then they start to kiss, with Paul running his hands over Roman's body at the same time. Paul's hand rubs over Roman's shorts and then inside one leg to feel his cock. He keeps rubbing the cock as he kisses Roman, and then he kisses down his body and begins to suck his cock. Paul works hard on that cock and it begins to respond, swelling in his mouth. Soon it is fully hard and Paul continues to suck on is as he wanks himself. Paul then lays back and pulls his briefs now, exposing his cock as Roman leans over and kisses him and works his way down to the cock. Paul's cock is rock hard as his hand pushes Roman's head down on it. Roman sucks on the cock and licks Paul's balls as he wanks himself. After some more kissing Paul stands and present his cock to Roman again, pushing it into his mouth and beginning to fuck his face. Roman's lips are closed tight around the cock as he sucks it. Next Paul has Roman lay face down on the bed, ass raised and he start to rim his ass. His tongue laps at the hole and soon he begins to finger it as well. In the same position Paul climbs onto Roman and shoves his cock deep in that tight hole. He fucks him hard and deep, with Roman taking it real well. Paul then lays down so that Roman can sit on his big, hard dick and ride it for himself. He works his ass up and down on that throbbing cock, his own cock rock hard and solid as he fucks himself onto Paul's. Then Paul takes over and really rams his cock, time after time, into Roman's open ass. They move into a sort of missionary position and Paul continues to fuck Roman. Roman wanks himself hard and fast as Paul's cock slams into his ass. Soon Roman shoots his cum for us, as Paul's cock is deep in his ass. Paul continues to fuck that ass until he is ready to cum as well. As he fucks he leans down and kisses Roman and then he pulls out and moves up to Roman's face. He quickly shoots his load all over Roman's face. Roman takes the empty cock into his mouth a final time and then Paul leans down to kiss Roman again. Well what a lovely Screentest this was and Roman certainly was very impressive for his first time.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Ludvig Hofta returned to casting again recently, after a long absence. We were also looking for someone to team up with Rado Viker for a scene, so we put the two of them together. What a great pairing it turned out to be too. The scene starts with Rado clearing tables. Ludvig arrives, in a foul mood, and on the phone abusing his girlfriend. It appears that he has stood him up. Although the bar is closed Ludvig insists on a drink and will then leave. Having been given the drink Ludvig chats with Rado and eventually persuades him to take the place of his girlfriend, upon the promise of some money. Ludvig begins to kiss Rado, and undress him. He soon has him naked and very hard indeed and Ludvig sucks on his cock. He is an experts cocksucker and really goes to town on Rado's cock and balls. Then Ludvig gets his own cock out, and it too is fully erect. Rado begins to suck him, his is directed by Ludvig on what to do and sucks that big cock and sucks on the balls too. Next Ludvig has Rado move, with a leg up on the table, so that his ass is exposed and ready for rimming. Ludvig's tongue hits the hole and rims it real well, sucking the cock some more too. Then he wants to fuck that nice ass, and readies his cock for action. He rams his dick deep in Rado's ass and fucks him real hard and fast, working that hole to perfection. Then he has Rado lay on the table, with his legs up, and slams his dick back into him to fuck him some more. From time to time he pulls out and sucks on Rado's cock again. Then he wants more than just sucking, so he sits his ass on Rado's rock hard cocka nd begins to ride it as fast as he can. As he rides that cock Ludvig wanks himself and is ready to shoot his load. So he quickly dismounts and presents his throbbing cock to Rado. The cock shoots a nice big load over Rado's face and he then sucks it to drain it completely. Ludvig bends to kiss him and then begins to suck his cock, getting him ready to cum as well. Rado shoots his load as Ludvig wanks him. His mouth closes over the shooting cock to suck it dry. Then they kiss to bring a wonderful scene to a very nice close.

The weather is quite hot today in Prague, wonderful. I'm hoping to shrink the swelling on my right foot before Friday. MikeSC is bringing me several pairs of new shoes from the USA. That brand is not available here. Of course, I had to guess a bit at the size because of the swelling. If the shoes don't fit, I can return them. I did some research on Google and found the soaking feet with post surgery swelling in a bath of very warm water and Epsom salts is good for the swelling. After quite a bit of looking, I think we found the last Epsom salts in Prague. It was a couple of liters. Snatched 'em up and today I soaked my recovering foot in the prescribed bath. I don't know what effect it will have on the swelling, but it surely made my foot feel better. I'm hopeful.
On Friday, we'll shoot our Easter Wank Party, so I'll have to do my part of the Newsletter early so I can attend and shoot some backstage.
Meanwhile, today, I've published Part Two of my Three Part Preview of the latest Airport Security, based on Boris's experience from crossing from Ukraine to Slovakia by bus. I do remember that SK customs can be a nightmare. Fortunately, there's no longer a customs check between CZ and SK because of the EU. However, even back in the bad old days, I don't remember any waterboarding. That Boris certainly has an active imagination.
Lot's of very good shoots in today's newsletter, starting with Roman Ditrich's Screentest, which also features Paul Fresh. Then we have Jozef Koranda's Massage, Erotic videos from Jindra Stryk and Alex Peleska and Michal Tyser's session stills.
Our castings today are Ondra Gavlas, Radko Kozelek, Anton Mertlik and Radek Filipec. The pick of the day, for me is definitely Radek Filipec.

About Ann Hamilton
Ann Hamilton creates large-scale multimedia installations that combine sculpture, architecture, video, spoken and written word, and human presence. Hamilton's immersive environments are oriented around sensory experiences in time and space; she explores the way that bodily and lingustic experiences form perceptions and memory. "What is the relationship between how our bodies know things and how we embody our knowledge through our actions and touch?" she asks. "What is the relationship between that and language?" The artist creates site-specific works, often inhabiting a space acoustically. For "phora" (2005), Hamilton used different exhibition spaces to explore the genesis of vocalization and vocal expression through sound and mixed-media installations. To create tropos (1993–1994), she covered a gallery floor with horsehair and employed an actor to sit at a table reading a book and burning its lines as she went, so that the word was transformed into material (smoke), which was in turn absorbed by the hair.
American, b. 1956, Lima, Ohio

Spotted previously on the odd hipster about town, the vintage briefcase is definitely having a moment. On a recent journey from Soho back to Shoreditch, these battered but much prized bags were definitely evident on the street.
Alternative cover-up for Summer evenings: the ethnic shawl
Colin Chapman writes…
Having just returned from a sunny holiday I've been thinking about ways to cover up in the evenings, when the temperature inevitably gets a little chilly but when a jacket seems a bit stifling.
Necking it: beat the 'burn with a summer scarf
Parisians supposedly have a saying; you can never have too many scarves on your person. As summer heats up this side of the Channel, and sunburnt necks become commonplace, we've been seeing looser neckerchiefs and bandannas slung around the coolest collars
There's an urban myth that in London that you are never 8 feet away from a rat, it's clearly bullshit but you try to get 8 feet away from a pair of Wayfarers this summer- you won't. The number of companies ripping off the Ray Ban original is staggering with prices and quality ranging from £12 for a cheap pair from Topman up to £115 for a pair of Ray Ban's from ASOS.
Boater! The straw hat of choice for summer
As fashion continues to trawl the Americana back catalogue, the boater pops up as a summer hat option. You'll need bags of attitude to carry it off as well as this uber-Lower East Side hipster (its photographer Dash Snow) but hell, you can try.
How far is TOO far? Taking inspiration from Womenswear…
Over the last few years, with the trends having covered skinny jeans, unisex mods, sexually-liberated hippies, shoulder pads, guy/girl jumpsuits and the his/her Eighties where basically anything went, I have tried my hand at many trends that tread the fine line between menswear and womenswear.
This photo recently appeared on Facehunter and, while originally in awe of this fashionisto's rose accessory, I began to wonder if it would be one step too far and throw me into the realm of uncomfortable dressing…
Can You See it…Which Popstar Has Been Taking Style Cues from Calvin Harris?
Calvin Harris, the Dumfries-born DJ who is often tipped with providing the backing track to the vintage wave of last summer, is currently topping the charts with his 'I'm Not Alone' and while watching his latest video I was suddenly aware of the BOT male's striking similarity to another No. 1 popstar…
Carhartt canvas shopper bag from Asos
Shopper bags make a nice alternative to the rucksack, and Carhartt canvas bag from Asos (£48) combines utilitarian simplicity with interesting details. A glut of pockets is a terrible thing on trousers but on a bag it's pretty useful, and the black straps and zip neatly punctuate the colour.
Seb Law's Summer Picks: Acne sandals, Mulberry bags and Levi's shorts
Seb Law is a grown up business Editor by day, dj by night, and in between finds time to maintain his blog at The Staple and keep us entertained on Twitter. He kindly provided us with his summer picks, which get us in the mood for long days at the park, day trips to the beach and lazy pub garden evenings. Read on to find out what he'll be wearing this season:
Tavi the Super-Stylish Style Rookie Takes Inspiration From An Unexpected Male Figure…
Tavi, the famously fab 12 year-old blogger, is often cited as one of the most fashion-forward figures of the current style circuit. Fashion folk worldwide tune into her Style Rookie blog each day to get a glimpse of her latest get-ups and commentaries. When I saw this photo of her wearing her classic Slow and Steady Wins the Race sunglasses, I was reminded of one of my favourite males and his similar sunnies.
Yay or Nay? Mickey Boardman's Gender-Bender Style
Mickey Boardman is the infamous columnist at Paper magazine as well as a social butterfly and fashion extraordinaire. He is also the proud owner of a rather distinctive and intriguing look.
Pocket squares!
It's probably a first that Alexis Petridis at The Guardian picks up on a trend before the Brandish team but here's an exception. Whilst his column on Saturday featured the said accessory with a standard suit, I recently spotted a Liberty sales assistant making a much more imaginative use of the pocket square. He'd paired a vintage-looking, 'farmer' check Barbour shirt in cream/khaki with a Liberty pocket square in one of their classic, 'arts and crafts' prints in a cool, pale blue. Perfectly folded into the shirt pocket, the pocket square positively fizzed against the rural check of his shirt. Were this boy walking down the street in New York City he'd have been a moving target for The Sartorialist.
The ultimate Mlutch?
On a recent visit to Matches boutique on Marylebone High Street, I couldn't take my hands off this amazing mlutch bag. Whilst the Matches website (and no doubt producer, Zagliani) coyly describe it as a 'document holder' it's most definitely a mlutch. Too big to be a lady clutch bag, expandable to fit um, a few flat items like the essential glossy mag, passport (I'm struggling here), spare pants.. 'documents'? The amazing python leather has to be stroked to be really appreciated. Of course, such perfection comes at a price: £688.
Manufactum's bark tanned leather shopping bag
This bark-tanned leather shopping bag (239 Eur) looks slightly feminine, but that's part of the appeal, there's no faux macho-posturing from this bag, it's just a simple over the shoulder tote. The true tan colour will look great with a navy suit or a pale Harrington jacket and it's more interesting than your average laptop bag. Manufactum produce the bag, …
Mulberry's Eliot Tote: a male 'It' bag?
Currently gracing all the best mens glossies is the Mulberry ad for the Eliot Tote bag. It's rare for a particular model to be touted as the equivalent of a male 'It' bag but I guess Mulberry are applying a trusted formula here.
Brandish Poll: Do you Dare? Bum-Bags!
At a disco the other night, the theme was 'City vs. Country' and stuck for ideas, a friend and I decided to go as tacky tourists. Cue vintage novelty braces, high-waisted denim shorts and charity shop shirts.
My charity shop bum-bag has been the focus of much attention.
Neckerchiefs: turning up everywhere
We've posted about kerchiefs before, but now a definite trend seems to be developing. Along the way they've become 'officially' known as Neckerchiefs, just in case you were in any doubt as to their use.
Summer Totes: only for the lighthearted
There's something very liberating about the tote bag for guys. Clearly 'recreational' in outlook – its very simplicity makes it clear that you're not lugging a laptop and however Boho your leatherware is there's nothing quite so carefree as a simple cotton tote.
Add a stylish touch to your Spring break with a nostalgic titfer
Given the dramatic changes in weather recently you may be thinking a sowester is your best option for cover, but once the sun breaks out, a hat looks like an essential accessory for SS09.
Mlutch obliged: would you carry a clutch bag?
Click image to enlarge
How could we have missed the boat on this one? We heralded the age of the 'medge' aka the male wedge and we all witnessed the explosion of guyliner, manscara and what have you but somehow the 'mlutch' evaded us.

Burglars hit Manchester jewelry store for second time in a week
May 13. 2013 1:33PM
MANCHESTER - For the second time in a week, Pearson's Jewelry on Elm Street was hit by burglars who broke the glass front door and then smashed display cases, making off with at least a dozen Tag Heuer and Breitling watches as well as assorted rings and necklaces.
The break-in occurred about 3:40 a.m. Monday, one week after the 926 Elm St. store was burglarized last Monday morning, a crime that netted thieves about $30,000 worth of jewelry and watches.
Lt. Maureen Tessier said the same glass display cases were smashed in today's burglary and emptied of their merchandise as they were last week.
She said there is no estimate on the value of the watches and jewelry taken this morning. A burglar alarm sounded, alerting police to the burglary, but by the time they arrived the thieves were already gone.
Tessier said investigators do not know if the same person or individuals are responsible for both burglaries.
Anyone with information about the incidents is asked to call police at 668-8711. Anonymous tips for cash rewards may be made through Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040 or online at manchestercrimeline.org .

There are many causes of chronic kidney disease, with diabetes and hypertension (high blood pressure) being two of the most common. Some types of kidney disease can be treated and cured, while others eventually lead to loss of kidney function and the need for dialysis.
However, even if the actual cause of a kidney disorder - such as diabetes or hypertension - cannot be removed, there are things that can be done to minimize or slow the damage done by the kidney disease, and to postpone the need for dialysis for as long as possible.
Here are some things that can be done to help preserve remaining kidney function in patients with CKD:
Depending on the exact type of kidney disease, dietary restrictions may be needed.
Salt (sodium) - If there is high blood pressure, swelling of the legs, or a tendency to accumulate of water elsewhere (such as in the lungs), then salt and/or fluid restriction may be needed. Salt restriction includes: not adding salt to food at the table, not cooking with salt, avoiding most types of fast food, and minimizing the use of most canned foods.
Potassium - In some types and stages of kidney disease, high blood potassium levels may occur, and the intake of potassium-rich foods (such as potatoes, oranges, bananas, tomatoes, dried beans, and figs) may be restricted.
Protein - Protein restriction is not usually advised until the very late stages of kidney disease; however, in general, patients with CKD should not be in the habit of gorging on high-protein meals because very high protein intake may actually accelerate the rate of kidney damage.
Keeping blood pressure within a normal range (generally aiming for less than 130/90, sometimes lower) is very important in the management of kidney disease. High blood pressure can damage blood vessels all over the body, leading to hardening of the arteries and its complications, including:
Similarly, high blood pressure within the kidneys can damage the tiny blood vessels within the kidney, leading to scarring of both blood vessels and kidney tissue. High blood pressure can be managed by a combination of
The most common types of medications used in blood pressure treatment include the following:
Diabetes is one of the most common causes of CKD, and can produce damage in the:
Diabetes causes damage by exposing organs and tissues to high blood sugar levels over periods of months to years. Therefore, strict blood sugar control is vitally important in minimizing organ damage from diabetes. This is achieved by a combination of dietary restrictions and the use of oral medications and/or insulin. Constant monitoring of blood sugars is essential.
High levels of "bad cholesterol" (LDL cholesterol, triglycerides) and low levels of "good cholesterol" (HDL cholesterol) can hasten the development of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and may play a role in the progression of damage from CKD. Treatment of lipid levels is accomplished with diet (to some extent) and with medications (such as atorvastatin, simvastatin, gemfibrozil, ezetimibe).
Obesity, while it usually does not in itself cause kidney disease, may increase the tendency to kidney damage from diabetes, hypertension, and certain other types of kidney disease. Weight loss may make diabetes easier to control, reduce blood pressure, and reduce protein leakage from the kidneys in some types of CKD.
Smoking accelerates atherosclerosis, making people more susceptible to heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage – to say nothing of increasing the risk of chronic pulmonary disease, emphysema, lung cancer, and several other types of cancer as well.
The kidneys normally make a hormone called erythropoietin, which helps the bone marrow to produce oxygen-carrying red blood cells. CKD often results in decreased epo production and may lead to anemia (low red blood cell count), resulting in fatigue and decreased ability to perform strenuous activity.
While anemia can be treated with transfusions, the process of administering blood is complicated and expensive. Transfusions carry with them the risk of an allergic reaction, and are not permitted by certain religions.
Epo injections (usually administered every 2-4 weeks) provide an effective means of replacing this deficient hormone, resulting in correction of anemia, and allowing the CKD patient to feel better and to have more energy.
Diuretics - ("water pills") help to remove excess fluid or swelling that is often seen in CKD. They can also help to reduce blood pressure.
Vitamin D - Synthetic vitamin D, given in pill form, replaces another hormone that a failing kidney is unable to make. Vitamin D deficiency may result in both bone and muscle problems in CKD patients.
Phosphate binders - these tablets are taken with meals and help to bind phosphate in food, preventing it from being absorbed from the GI tract and entering the circulation. High blood phosphate levels develop in the more advanced stages of CKD and, along with vitamin D deficiency, may contribute to bone and muscle problems.
Many research studies are underway to help us learn about chronic kidney disease. Would you like to find out more about being part of this exciting research? Please visit the following links:

Utopia, Romance, and "Young Art" at the Hamburger Bahnhof Museum
This winter the Hamburger Bahnhof's exhibitions are (mostly) devoted to artists influenced by utopian architecture, a decision made to coincide with Tomás Saraceno's Cloud Cities, an investigation into sustainable living that borrows heavily from the language of visionary architects and futurists like Buckminster Fuller. Saraceno's "biospheres" are fun, enormous and inviting, with long lines of art-goers waiting for a moment of awkward repose over the Bahnhof's hangar. […..]

As i look through the version history during a debug session and i get to the very last history record, the due date value is one greater than the actual due date entered when the task was created.
Is there another field I should be looking at besides "Due Date" to get the Due Date actually entered when the task was created?
This is very strange behavior. When I view the history of a task in the EditForm.aspx or DispForm.aspx pages, the due date on the oldest history record is corrrect however when stepping through the debug session and hitting the last (oldest) record,
the value in the Due Date field is one day greater than the due date on the form.

I have a table containing courses, columns are
Name - "Yoga Classes"
DateStart - "2/23/2010"
DateEnd - "2/24/2010"
I am using ListView Control to bind it, is there a way to display them and group them by Month?
for eg.
Piano Class (10th Jan 2010 - 11th Jan 2010)Guitar Class (10th Jan 2010 - 11th Jan 2010)
Yoga Class (15th Feb 2010 - 16th Feb 2010) etc...

Seems like a stupid question, but I will go to Build > Build Solution many many times and the build will succeed many many times, then I will put in a minor syntax error and the build will fail, BUT the build will not fail because of the minor syntax error; it will fail because of an unresolved type that I put in about twenty compiles ago. And then I will fix the minor syntax eror, and the compiler will still complain about the unresolved type. Here is my code:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="FTB" Namespace="FreeTextBoxControls" Assembly="FreeTextBox" %> <form runat="server"> Hello World!! </form>
Pretty simple, really. I go to Buld > Build WebApplication1 and it runs OK. Now, if I put in a minor syntax error, such as substitute "forrrrrrrm" for "form" and then try to Build Solution, it complains not about the misspelled word, but about the FreeTextBox. And then if I correct the misspelled wird, it still complains about the FreeTextBox. Which leads me to believe that Building the Solution does not check absolutely 100% everything that needs to be checked. Is there a more thorough way of compiling a program that I need to use?
I have a 3 field table in sql server express and one of the columns is a date.
I'm trying to pull that in and publish to a gridview, but when I do it comes in with the date and minutes and seconds, etc.
How can I format that so that I only publish MM/DD/YYYY?
thanks in advance
HI all,
I am using a Jquery datepicker in my project.There are a lot of pages where I use this date picker and w henever I select any date
from that ,am getting an error "length is null or not an object error on line 173"
The HMML for my datepicker control is
<input type="text" id="dpAgreementExpDate" runat="server" maxlength="10" />
I am using a text box which captures the date from the datepicker and displays in dd/MM/yyyy format in asp.net using C#
When i try to pass this text box value into the DatTime variable i am getting the error as
"String was not recognized as a valid DateTime. "
my code goes like this
DateTime dt;
i tried to use Conver.ToDateTime() function but the same error is croping up..
Can any one plz suggest me on this.....Thnks in advance
HiIm receiving a strange error Error Message: Conversion from string "15/08/2010 22:21:35" to type 'Date' is not valid.I know this is generally down to cultural date formats etc, however the reason this is strange is it just randomly occured twice in the last week, the website has been running since october and nothing has changed,The error constantly occured until the IIS was reset and recompilled the site, its been running fine since, however im just trying to figure out what could cause such an error to occur.I've narrowed it down to a line of code which is:bktime = DReader.Item("Bktime").ToStringbktime = Year(CDate(bktime)) & "-" & fmt(Month(CDate(bktime)), 2) & "-" & fmt(Day(CDate(bktime)), 2)
Has anyone else encountered this randomly occuring and is there anything i can put in place to prevent this in future?CheersMike

Dental and Oral Health (Children)
Fluoride Treatments in Children
Is it absolutely necessary for a child to receive a fluoride treatment at every dental visit? Twice a year?
Are fluoride treatments in the office absolutely necessary? No, but they are beneficial! In-office fluoride treatments contain a much higher level of fluoride than the amount found in toothpastes and mouth rinses.
It is certainly important for infants and children between the ages of 6 months and 16 years to be exposed to fluoride. The primary and permanent teeth come in during this timeframe. In August 2006, the American Dental Association published new guidelines regarding professional fluoride applications. The guidelines are based upon good solid research and the value of these in-office treatments are validated at the web site below.
If you have concerns about a child receiving fluoride, I would discuss it directly with your dentist. He/she will consider your unique case/circumstances and provide appropriate recommendations. Please drop me another note if you have any further questions.
Most studies of fluoride treatments have been conducted by giving fluoride treatments twice a year. We don't think once a year works as well as twice a year. So most dentists give fluoride treatments to all children twice a year to make sure they are protected.Some children may never get a cavity even without any fluoride treatments. If we could predict who would never get cavities, then those children could skip fluoride treatments. The problem is that we can't predict very accurately which children aren't going to get cavities. So most dentists give fluoride treatments to all children.
