Andy Reid said defensive line coach Jim Washburn would have been fired on Monday regardless of whether or not the Eagles lost on Sunday night in Dallas.
"It was something I'd been pondering for a while," Reid said at his weekly day-after press conference.
Reid said the decision to fire Washburn was made on Monday morning, not immediately after the Dallas game. He was asked if Washburn's firing had anything to do with his conduct, with varying reports saying Washburn became a destructive force inside the locker room.
"I will just say that there's things I was disappointed in," Reid said. "I'm not going to go into any great details on why. Nobody else made this move. This was not a move to try and save my job. This was a move that needed to be done now."
When asked whether Washburn had an issue with last week's surprising release of Pro Bowl defensive end Jason Babin, whom Washburn had coached in Tennessee and brought to Philadelphia, Reid said: "When he talked to me, he was fine with it."
That seemingly was said to imply that Washburn did have an issue once outside Reid's office.
Defensive end Brandon Graham said Washburn was clearly distraught about Babin's release.
"I feel like that hurt him a little bit," Graham said. "He didn't know that they were releasing him until he was actually gone. I know that was one of his guys. We all loved Babin while he was here, but I think it did get to him.
Graham said Washburn hinted at not returning for next season, which is why the firing surprised him.
"I didn't see it coming," Graham said. "I probably saw it coming after the season, he was talking about little stuff that he might not be here. He said 'let's play the hardest 5 weeks that we can and whatever happens, happens.' After Babin left, he said anything can happen."
WIDE 9 IS DEAD? Brandon Graham made his first start of the season in the Wide 9 defense on Sunday night in Dallas.
Turns out, it will be his only appearance in the Wide 9.
Speaking just a few hours after defensive line coach Jim Washburn was fired on Monday morning, Graham said he caught up with the re-hired Tommy Brasher, who acknowledged that the Wide 9 is effectively dead.
"I know we won't be in 9 techniques," Graham said. "We haven't spoke on the (other) parts yet."
Reid would not say the Wide 9 is totally dead yet, saying it "just won't be as prominent in the defense." He said Brasher will "blend things" and that he is "very flexible, which is important."
Reid also said defensive coordinator Todd Bowles will have "an influence" on whatever scheme is put into place. That's important, considering Washburn was hired before a replacement could be named for then-fired coordinator Sean McDermott. Usually, it's the coordinator who brings in the line coach of his choosing.
Graham, who notched 1.5 sacks, 6 tackles and 4 hits to Tony Romo in his long-awaited breakout game, said it won't be that difficult to go back to a more traditional technique. He personally went through 3 different coordinators in his time at the University of Michigan, in addition to two head coaches.
"It's not going to be that bad," Graham said. "My rookie year, I've still got a lot in my memory bank with stuff that I can do. Just being at Michigan, I played read-attack."
Reid said he brought back Brasher because he "understands exactly what I'm about." With 4 games remaining, he wants Brasher to have a positive impact on players like Graham and rookie Vinny Curry - in addition to the "young" coaching staff.
Brasher has not yet been made available to the media.
"I just went up and introduced myself, he talked about himself, saying he's been here 3 times in his career," Graham said. "He said it's like being like family here. It sucked. It seemed like we were just having a lot of problems, especially on defense. As hard as us and Coach Bowles have worked, it's not reflecting on the field. I don't want to see nobody go. But you've got to get it right.
"It sucks that Coach Washburn has to go, because I was really starting to get his scheme."
If it's taken until Week 13 of his second year in command for players to "start to get his scheme," it's probably a good sign that it wasn't working.
FOLES STARTING: With the firing of defensive line coach Jim Washburn stealing headlines on Monday, Reid also named Nick Foles as his starting quarterback for the remainder of the season at his weekly press conference.
Foles, 23, strung together his most impressive performance of the season on Sunday night in Dallas, going 22-for-34 for 251 yards and 1 touchdown throw to Riley Cooper.
Even with Michael Vick in Phase 4 of the concussion protocol, Reid said it was the "right thing to do" to name Foles the starter.
"With where we're at in the season, he gives us a good opportunity to finish that up," Reid said. "This (concussion) thing has carried on for a while now. The most important thing I want to do is make sure that Michael is healthy so he can have a good, long career."
Reid said he already noticed an improvement in Foles' footwork, throws and command of the offense after 3 starts in place of Vick. The Eagles' third round pick has completed 60.9 percent of his passes - though he has more interceptions (3) than he does touchdown passes (2).
Reid said Vick would likely be the No. 2 quarterback, ahead of veteran Trent Edwards, on the depth chart whenever he does return.
OTHER INJURIES: Kurt Coleman is day-to-day with a cartilage bruise in his sternum / rib area ... LeSean McCoy remains in Phase 3 of the concussion protocol. Reid was not asked about Bryce Brown possibly being the permanent starter at running back, even though he has exploded for 349 yards in his first two professional starts, the highest two-week total of any Eagle running back in 63 years.
QUOTABLE: "We haven't. I'm sure we will get there at some point."
-Reid on whether he has had any discussions yet with Eagles owner Jeff Lurie about his own job status.

A Thursday Thirteen
Do as many of these things as possible several weeks in advance!
1. Find a date and time that will work out for the greatest number of people possible.
2. Arrange to use the place where you'll have the ceremony.
3. Get a guest speaker.
4. Use scripts and programs of past Eagle Scout award ceremonies to help you develop a script and a program.
5. Make copies of the script for all the adults who will be in the ceremony.
6. Make a guest list and send out invitations.
7. Go to the Scout store and buy blank programs, napkins, cups, etc. with the Eagle emblem if you want them. Also, buy the Eagle Scout neckerchief and slide.
8. Get the programs printed.
9. Find a recipe if you're having punch at the reception. Order the cake if you're having one made.
10. Decide what else you're going to serve, make a list of everything, and go shopping.
11. Ask someone to take pictures. Ask other people to help with serving at the reception.
12. Make sure all the Scouts and adults in the ceremony know how to find the place where the ceremony will be held.
13. Make sure the Eagle Scout candidate's uniform is clean and ready to wear.
A few more suggestions, written with hindsight:
- Set up a guestbook.
- Write out a complete menu so you don't forget anything you planned to serve (like the carrot sticks.)
- Bring some ziplock bags for packing any leftovers.
- Make time for some formal pictures either before or after the ceremony.

Testosterone (T) is commonly administered intramuscularly to treat hypogonadal males and female-to-male (FTM) transgender patients. However, these injections can involve significant discomfort and may require arrangements for administration by others.
We assessed whether T could be administered effectively and safely subcutaneously as an alternative to intramuscular (IM) injections.
Retrospective cohort study.
Outpatient reproductive endocrinology clinic at an academic medical center.
Sixty-three FTM transgender patients aged >18 years electing to receive subcutaneous (SC) T therapy for sex transition were included. Fifty-three patients were premenopausal.
Patients were administered T cypionate or enanthate weekly at an initial dose of 50 mg. Dose was adjusted if needed to achieve serum total T levels within the normal male range.
Serum concentrations of free and total T and total estradiol (E2), masculinization, and surveillance for reactions at injection sites.
Serum T levels within the normal male range were achieved in all 63 patients with doses of 50 to 150 mg (median, 75/80 mg). Therapy was effective across a wide range of body mass index (19.0 to 49.9 kg/m 2 ). Minor and transient local reactions were reported in 9 out of 63 patients. Among 53 premenopausal patients, 51 achieved amenorrhea and 35 achieved serum E2 concentrations <50 pg/mL. Twenty-two patients were originally receiving IM and switched to SC therapy. All 22 had a mild (n = 2) or marked (n = 20) preference for SC injections; none preferred IM injections.
Our observations indicate that SC T injections are an effective, safe, and well-accepted alternative to IM T injections.
Testosterone (T) therapy is commonly administered to hypogonadal men and female-to-male (FTM) transgender patients. Since its introduction in the 1930s, parenteral T has typically been administered intramuscularly ( 1 , 2 ). However, intramuscular (IM) administration of T has drawbacks such as pain, bruising, and the frequent necessity to arrange injections by a medical provider or other person. T undeconoate provides an option for IM injections at 10-week intervals but is available only through a risk evaluation and mitigation program because of the risk of pulmonary oil microembolism ( 3 – 5 ). Transdermal T formulations (patches and gels) can also have limitations such as local reactions, poor adhesion, fear of skin-to-skin transmission ( 6 ), unpleasant odor ( 7 ), lack of insurance coverage or high copays, and limited patient acceptance ( 8 ). Subcutaneous (SC) insertion of T pellets is available but has been limited by the need for surgery, the possibility of infection, fibrosis or pellet extrusion, limited data regarding efficacy, inflexibility of dosing, and limited acceptance ( 9 ).
"It's so hard to give up on something you are so proud of and that worked for so long," says Dos Equis senior brand director Quinn Kilbury, noting that the Most Interesting Man "helped grow the brand from a very small regional brand to a bit of a national power." But "It became too much about him," he says. "We really wanted to make that shift from the most interesting man to the most interesting beer."
He adds: "We didn't kill the man. So who knows, somewhere in the future maybe he comes back to play with us again, but not until we establish the brand on its own."
Of late, Dos Equis has struggled. Beer Business Daily recently reported that Dos Equis "is off to a rather lousy start in 2018," citing Nielsen data showing sales volume of the brand franchise down 5.8 percent year-to-date as of Feb. 17.
The Most Interesting Man's fate seemed sealed last summer after Dos Equis dumped its creator, Havas Worldwide, for Droga5 . Kilbury, who had been working on brand Heineken, took the Dos Equis role in September. He had previously worked with Droga5 on the "No Bollocks" campaign for Heineken-owned Newcastle Brown Ale, which drew attention for its funny ribbing of conventional beer-selling ploys.
Scott Bell, executive creative director at Droga5, said inheriting a classic campaign like the Most Interesting Man is a "mix of terror and excitement." The agency, he says, took the approach of evaluating "what interesting means today" and "not getting caught up in how people feel about the Most interesting Man and or if people wanted to see another version of it."

) shows the plots of mean GFP fluorescence level for the total population versus time in the three cases of gfp fused with the promoters of mprA , sigE and rel respectively. As in the case of the basal level versus time data (Figure 6(a) ), the plots are sigmoidal in nature. We solved the differential equations of the theoretical model described in Additional File Korean collar shirt Marni Purchase Free Shipping Good Selling 5dqiT3u
and obtained the concentrations of MprA, MprB, SigE, MprA-P, MprB-P and GFP versus time. Some of these plots are shown in Figure S5 (Additional File Fast Delivery Online Swim shorts Gustavia Indigo Paisley greyblue patterned MC2 Saint Barth Best Place Sale Online Browse Cheap Price wWQ4H18X
) and reproduce the sigmoidal nature of the experimental plots. We note that the sigmoidal nature of the curves is obtained only when the non-linear nature of the degradation rate is taken into account.
As we have already discussed, the distribution of GFP levels in the mycobacterial cell population is a linear combination of two invariant distributions, one Gaussian and the other lognormal, with only the coefficients in the linear combination dependent on time. Friedman et al. [
] have developed an analytical framework of stochastic gene expression and shown that the steady state distribution of protein levels is given by the gamma distribution. The theory was later extended to include the cases of transcriptional autoregulation as well as noise propagation in a simple genetic network. While experimental support for gamma distribution has been obtained earlier [
], a recent exhaustive study [
] of the
E. coli
proteome and transcriptome with single-molecule sensitivity in single cells has established that the distributions of almost all the protein levels out of the 1018 proteins investigated, are well fitted by the gamma distribution in the steady state. The gamma distribution was found to give a better fit than the lognormal distribution for proteins with low expression levels and almost similar fits for proteins with high expression levels. We analysed our GFP expression data to compare the fits using lognormal and gamma distributions. For all the three sets of data (
fused with the promoters of
), the lognormal and gamma distribution give similar fits at the different time points. Figure S6 (Additional File
Sale Real POETIC REBEL dress 2 Dorothee Schumacher Discount Factory Outlet pJEdkoMr
) shows a comparison of the fits for the case of gfp - mprA . The lognormal appears to give a somewhat better fit than the gamma distribution, specially at the tail ends.

NEW YORK, NY — Priests for Life has offered its congratulations and pledged its continuing support to two archbishops named last week to high profile Vatican positions by Pope Benedict XVI. Also, the New York-based ministry thanked Cardinal Ennis Antonelli, outgoing president of the Pontifical Council for the Family, for his service.
The Right Rev. Arthur Roche has been elevated to Archbishop and named Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia was appointed to lead the Pontifical Council for the Family.
In a letter hand-delivered to Archbishop Paglia, Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, said, "We at Priests for Life have been greatly blessed through the years with the opportunity to serve the Pontifical Council for the Family in various capacities." He said the organization renews "our complete commitment of service to your Council as it presently begins a new era under your leadership." Father Pavone served the Council in Rome for two years in the 1990s.
Father Pavone noted the support Archbishop-elect Roche has given to Rachel's Vineyard and said "please rest assured of our offer of assistance to you at the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments."
In his letter to Cardinal Antonelli, Father Pavone wrote, "we call to mind the great apostolic witness you have given the Church and world in illustrating the transcendent beauty and dignity of Marriage, Family, and indeed Life itself."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit Priests for Life.

Grace Oates was my mother's father's mother's mother's mother. She was baptised in the parish church of St Keverne, Cornwall in 1833 to Thomas and Elizabeth Oates. She married Henry Pascoe, a man that I believe was her first cousin for reasons I won't go into now, and they had one daughter, Elizabeth Grace Pascoe, in 1856.
By 1861 Grace and her daughter were living alone in St Keverne and her husband had migrated to the Colony of Victoria, never to return. In 1865 Grace migrated to the Colony of New South Wales with her daughter Bessie and her widowed mother Elizabeth to join her brothers in the Millthorpe area. She claimed her husband was in Victoria to the Immigration Board, so at least she knew where he'd gone.
Grace had no more children but she did eventually remarry, becoming a midwife to the people around Millthorpe and Blayney. She died in Her ex-husband Henry also remarried and had a few children, who, to my knowledge, never knew of their half-sister in New South Wales.
It's good to have the name of the village where she came from, but unless I look into it it's just a name that means little.
Firstly, it's good to know exactly where it is. Google Maps can show you exactly:
Satellite View shows me even more:
From there I can go on a virtual tour of St Keverne, floating down the streets to the church, past the shops and the pub, and perhaps find the houses where Grace and her family lived during the censuses.
There's more to find on the internet though.
GENUKI lists resources for the whole of the UK. The page for St Keverne is quite comprehensive, with descriptions, cemeteries, church histories, locations of censuses, church registers, civil registration district, court records, photographs, directories, land, manors, and much more.
St Keverne has an Online Parish Clerk, and their website has databases of parish registers, censuses, and links to Sunday School registers and much more.
The St Keverne Local History Society has a lot of family history and local history resources from parish register indexes to accounts of shipwrecks.
A general Google search for St Keverne shows many, many images of the place, both contemporary and historical.
There is no substitute, though, for a contemporary account of the place. …
ST KEVERNE. Time and the ocean and some fostering star, says William Watson, have made us what we are. Time and the ocean have made St Keverne what it is, a grim and tragic spot in a green land which we may truly call the Garden of Cornwall.
The description goes on for nearly two pages. The Manacles off the coast were a menace to sailors coming into Falmouth Harbour, and the grimness appears to apply to the large number of shipwrecks and drowned sailors buried in the churchyard.
Lewis' Topographical Dictionary of England, published in 1848, is another such resource. The entry for St Keverne is less atmospheric but more factual:
KEVERNE, ST., a parish, in the union of Helston, W. division of the hundred of Kerrier and of the county of Cornwall, 11 miles (S. by E.) from Helston; containing 2469 inhabitants. This parish, forming part of the wide district of Meneage, and comprising by measurement 10,158 acres, whereof 2002 are common or waste, is situated on the shore of the English Channel, by which it is bounded on the east and south. It contains three fishing coves, called respectively Coverack, Porthalloe, and Porthonstock, at the first of which is a good pier, affording shelter to small vessels from the rough winds and stormy seas frequent on this part of the coast. In these coves the pilchard-fishery is carried on to a considerable extent, and several boats are also otherwise employed. A yellow clay found here, is much esteemed for fine castings in silver, brass, and lead. Fairs for cattle are held on March 5th, June 19th, October 2nd, and the first Tuesday after Twelfth-day. The living is a vicarage, valued in the king's books at £18. 11. 5½., and in the patronage of Mrs. Griffith; impropriators, the landowners: the tithes have been commuted for £512. The church has a handsome tower surmounted by a spire, and contains many monuments, among which is one to the memory of Major George Cavendish, Capt. Dunkenfield, and sixty-one men of a regiment, who, returning with dispatches in a transport from Spain, were shipwrecked, and perished off Coverack Cove, on the 22nd December, 1809. There are places of worship for Baptists, Bryanites, and Wesleyans. Charles Incledon, the celebrated singer, was born in the parish.
You can find online here.
When I first researched Grace few of these resources were available to me and none of them online. It's worth going back to the ancestors you think you know well and searching for their villages again.

PLYMOUTH, Calif. (AP) — In a story July 27 about California Wildfires, The Associated Press reported erroneously that the type of aircraft assisting firefighters battling a wildfire outside Yosemite National Park. They were fixed-wing airplanes and helicopters, not fixed-wing helicopters.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Northern California wildfire destroys 13 homes
Northern California wildfire destroys 13 homes; fire outside Yosemite park grows significantly
PLYMOUTH, Calif. (AP) — Firefighters in Northern California made progress Sunday against a wildfire that has destroyed 13 homes and forced hundreds of evacuations in the Sierra Nevada foothills, while a fire near Yosemite National Park that destroyed one home grew significantly overnight.
East of Sacramento, the Sand Fire in the Sierra foothills has burned roughly 6 square miles of steep, rugged terrain near wine-growing regions in Amador and El Dorado counties since Friday, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
The fire, which also destroyed 38 outbuildings, was 50 percent contained Sunday night, but 515 homes remained at risk and under evacuation orders, a CalFire statement said.
Fire crews were able to significantly increase their containment lines but "the steep, dry terrain continues to be a challenge," a CalFire said.
About 1,900 firefighters, aided by aircraft including a DC-10 air tanker, were working to control the blaze.
CalFire officials say the fire started Friday when a vehicle drove over dry vegetation.
Alfred Shults, his wife, Carolyn, and their granddaughter fled their home in El Dorado County on Friday after receiving an automated telephone call ordering residents to evacuate, according to the Sacramento Bee. Before he left, Shults said he packed as much as he could into his vehicle and turned on a sprinkler to soak the area around his beloved motorcycle.
"We just wanted to get out of there, and hope there's something left when we get back," Alfred Shults, 65, told the Bee on Saturday as they waited for news at an evacuation center in Placerville.
Meanwhile, a wildfire that began Saturday west of Yosemite National Park quadrupled in size overnight to more than 3 square miles. It destroyed one home in the small community of Foresta, adjacent to the park, Ranger Scott Gediman said.
An estimated 100 homes in Foresta and the small community of Old El Portal were evacuated Saturday, and residents remained out of their homes Sunday. Two shelters opened for people and animals.
"There have been no injuries so far, which is wonderful," Gediman said.
The park itself, home to such sites as Half Dome mountain, Yosemite Meadows, a grove of Giant Sequoia trees and other wonders, remained open throughout Sunday. None of its treasures were threatened, Gediman said, although some areas were smoky.
About 400 firefighters, aided by fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, battled the flames, Gediman said. The cause wasn't immediately known.
Wildfires also burned in other Western states, including Washington, Oregon and Colorado.
The nation's largest wildfire — the 618-square-mile Buzzard Complex in eastern Oregon, 45 miles northeast of Burns — remained at 95 percent contained on Sunday. Incident reports from the fire say containment lines continue hold as crews monitor increased fire activity.
In north-central Washington, the nearly 400-square-mile Carlton Complex fire, the biggest in the state's history, continued to burn Sunday in rising temperatures, but no major flare-ups have been reported.

SQL Injection in the News
As far as I'm concerned we'll likely always have SQL injection around to haunt us. Even though this attack vector has been well-publicized and well-documented for well over a decade (and then some), failure to account for it continues to pop all the time—even in catastrophic places (i.e., not just e-Commerce sites and the occasional school website). For example, take this story where a UK man hacked literally thousands of sites—including damage caused (in the millions of dollars) to a number of US government websites.
Unfortunately, the article describing the attack was clearly written by someone who doesn't understand how SQL injection works because the article uses terms like "exploiting vulnerabilities in SQL Databases" and then goes on to describe how the hacker used an automated tool to scour IPs/sites and then "inject powerful SQL commands" which makes it sound like this hacker had 'ninja' skills with hacking.
Related: Protecting Your Organizaton from SQL Injection Attacks
Based on how easy it was to find and capture this 'hacker,' I'm personally willing to bet he was actually nothing more than a script-kiddie—using automated (and freely available) SQL injection tools to find just a handful of the existing SQL injection vulnerabilities (in front-end code—not back-end databases) out there.
And, if we're frank, for these kinds of vulnerabilities to exist in sites belonging to the Army, US Missile Defense Agency, EPA, NASA and others is, itself, bordering on criminal.
SQL Injection and Bad Information
A big and ongoing problem with SQL injection is that there's just a ton of bad information out there about how to stop it. Some of the more common mistakes about how to protect against SQL injection are that you can just 'scrub' or try to 'filter out' any 'bad' or 'naughty' (or should I say "powerful") commands—whereas other mis-information is that if you used parameterized statements or stored procedures you're 'automatically' protected. (By their nature stored procedures and parameterized statements clearly separate command-flow and data—but if you then concatenate command/data within the BODY of your statement/sproc, you're RIGHT back into being susceptible to SQL Injection—such that these techniques are NOT a necessary/fail-safe protection because developers CAN do dumb things that will make their code re-vulnerable to SQL injection.)
And while I'm going to seem very petty for pointing this out, I bumped into a video on YouTube recently trying to explain SQL injecton. To his credit, the presenter does a great job of a couple of things—including calling out how it's lame that SQL injection still works as well as calling out how scrubbing is futile. Unfortunately though (and even though his keen British accent makes him sound as if he has all of the answers), his entire presentation turns to utter crap towards the end when he somehow equates prepared statements as:
a) "hack on top of a hack" yet then goes on to
b) CORRECTLY explain that prepared statements create a clear distinction between data and commands (the solitary and ONLY way to defeat SQL injection).
Furthermore, his assertion that "a Microsoft database" is somehow MORE susceptible to SQL injection (than others) is also total and complete rubbish (though I don't have the accent to do that term justice).
It's also arguable that viewers of this video MIGHT assume that PHP is more susceptible to SQL injection than other languages. But, to be fair, I think that's something viewers might INFER more so than something that was said. (Still, it's arguable that someone running non-PHP against an Oracle database might INFER from this presentation that they're probably fine or at less of a risk than someone using PHP against SQL Server, for example).
And, while I'm really not trying to be petty—and I do GET that this presentation WAS given on the back of a napkin—the reality remains that misinformation like some of the details in this presentation ARE part of why SQL injection remains a problem (especially now that this video has been seen almost 100,000 times).
SQL Injection ISN'T All That Hard to Defeat
Ultimately, SQL injection IS something that is easy to fall prey to—when developers don't understand how it works.
Happily, all that is needed to protect against this exploit is a bit of core/basic knowledge in the sense that ALL that has to be done to protect against SQL Injection is to make sure that data and commands are ALWAYS and CONSISTENTLY separated. If command-flow and data ARE allowed to merge or intertwine or concatenate at ANY point, then you're susceptible to SQL injection—no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
For more information, I highly recommend my previous article: SQL Injection – Beyond the Basics.

Annual Christmas Gift Wrapping Event Will Benefit Baby Addalyn
It's time once again for the annual Christmas gift wrapping event at Missoula's Red's Bar.
This is a cool deal for a couple of different reasons. First, you get to hang out and enjoy beverages at Red's while local volunteers make your Christmas packages look like you personally spent weeks wrapping gifts. Next, it's based on donations. Each year, Joan, Laurie and their crew of volunteers accept donations for their time and hard work. Since all of the gift wrap is donated by the kind folks at locally owned Party America, 100% of the donations go to a local family in need.
The family that will benefit from this year's event is the family of little baby Addalyn Ployhar. Learn more about Addalyn and her family's story on Facebook and also here.
This is always a fun time and easy way to help out a local family in need while getting a major holiday chore checked off your list. Thanks in advance for your help, see you there!

Family survives plane crash with help of strangers
January 23, 2012
Andy Atkins, wife Jenny and their 4-year-old son Logan were taking an air tour along the coast of Roatan, a small island near Honduras, on January 11 when disaster struck: The engine cut out and the seaplane crashed into the water. But incredible good fortune smiled down upon the Dallas, Texas family — passengers in a nearby boat jumped into the water to retrieve them and two doctors aboard a nearby second boat quickly treated the injured trio.
"My wife and son, I'm not sure what the outcome would have been without those doctors," Atkins, an attorney, told Savannah Guthrie live from Dallas on TODAY Monday. "I just shudder to think."
Atkins said he was comfortable taking his family into the air for some sight-seeing that day — just two months prior, he had taken the same aerial trip with some pals from college. And while the plane hovered just a few hundred feet above the water, Atkins said there wasn't even time to realize they were in imminent danger.
"I looked out the window, out the side of the plane and I could see the ocean and the reef," he told Guthrie. "I guess part of me thought it looked a little close. Really, the next thing I know, I was upside down in the water...still strapped in and wondering what happened.
"It took me just a second of talking to my brain to realize, wow, we really crashed and you're not dead, but you've got to get out of here before you drown."
Among many to thank, Atkins first credits the plane's quick-thinking pilot who helped free him from his seat restraints. "He got me to the surface...I asked him what happened, and he said we lost an engine," Atkins said. "I said, 'Where's my wife and kid?' and he said, 'I don't know.'"
Atkins dived down to locate his family but had to resurface for air before making a second attempt. On that second attempt the pilot was already freeing wife and son.
"He had gotten my wife and had helped her get out, and she pushed the baby with her last bit of consciousness to me," he said "As I brought him to the surface there she was at the surface almost at exactly the same time."
A nearby parasailing boat with a retired pilot among its passengers witnessed the crash and made a bee-line to the wreck. As video shot onboard dramatically captured, the passengers began diving in to rescue the family.
One rescuer told NBC: "We all dove in and swam just as quickly as we could...the timing was impeccable; we were just at the right place at the right time."
On board a second boat were two physicians — one a U.S. Navy doctor — who sprang to action to help Atkins' wife and son. "They got both of them on the back of that boat to give them oxygen and treated them with all their skill," Atkins told NBC News in Dallas-Fort Worth.
Atkins told Guthrie the doctors "treated them the whole way" back to shore. And after a four-day hospital stay, the family is now back home in Texas.
"We're out of the hospital and we're getting better every day," he said.
Atkins told NBC News in Dallas-Fort Worth his family's brush with death came with a silver lining.
"It reaffirms your faith in people and humanity that so many people stepped in to help that didn't have to," he said. "We appreciate that we feel like we've been given a second chance, and we want to try to help other people when we see other people that need help."
Atkins said the family now feels a strong bond with the people of the area and will certainly return to Roatan in the future, although, he added, "We're not going to be going up in any planes like that."

The DM Dock Kit to feature groundbreaking drum module for iPad, six-piece configuration, and heavy-duty steel rack.
Cumberland, R.I. (January 24, 2013) – Alesis, the world's fastest-growing electronic drum brand, announces the DM Dock Kit and the DM7X Kit, two innovative new electronic drum sets. Alesis will exhibit the DM Dock Kit and the DM7X Kit at Booth 6700 at the 2013 NAMM show, January 24-27 in Anaheim, California.
The DM Dock Kit is a six-drum, four-cymbal drum set based around the DM Dock, a revolutionary drum module for iPad unveiled by Alesis in 2012. The set features four toms, a snare, the Alesis StealthKick drum trigger, a hi-hat, two crash cymbals with choke, and a three-zone ride cymbal with choke. The DM Dock Kit's rugged steel rack is instantly adjustable with hinged quick-release clamps holding the drum pads and integrated cymbal arms that are easily converted in seconds from boom-style to straight.
Building upon the widely acclaimed design of the Alesis iO Dock, the DM Dock drum module harnesses the power of iPad for drummers, giving them a stage-ready device with 13 professional trigger inputs and balanced ¼" stereo main outputs. Thanks to the WiFi, Bluetooth®, AirPlay®, and 3G wireless connectivity of iPad, the DM Dock empowers drummers to change and enhance their sound library at a moment's notice. With a compatible app, drummers can download new drums, cymbals, even a complete kit to suit any musical style or venue. Alesis will exhibit the DM Dock Kit along with DM Touch, a percussion app specifically designed by Alesis for the DM Dock. The app allows drummers to create new kits in seconds by simply dragging and dropping drum icons onto a virtual drum kit.
"The power and flexibility of the DM Dock Kit can hardly be overstated," said David Gill, Alesis Engineering Manager. "We encourage any drummer to come by the booth and try it out; the DM Touch app is the easiest way to customize and experiment with different drum sounds and configurations. Drummers have never had this easy of a workflow, and the DM Dock Kit itself is bulletproof!"
Alesis will also exhibit the DM7X Kit, a premium six-piece electronic drum set. With its ultra-quiet rubber drum and cymbal pads, the DM7X Kit is ideal for professional drummers who want an electronic kit for quiet practice or for electronic percussionists looking to upgrade to a higher-quality kit with a professional module. The DM7X Kit features four 8" dual-zone toms, an 8" dual-zone snare, the Alesis StealthKick 2 compact drum trigger, a 10" hi-hat, a 10" crash cymbal with choke, and a 10" ride cymbal. The DM7X module is the newest module from Alesis and comes with 385 drum and percussion sounds arranged into 40 vintage and modern kits.

London – 13 June 2007
Three of the world's top reggae / dancehall singers have renounced homophobia and condemned violence against lesbians and gay men.
Beenie Man, Sizzla and Capleton had previously released anti-gay hate songs, including incitements to murder lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
They have now signed up to the Reggae Compassionate Act (copy below), in a deal brokered with top reggae promoters and Stop Murder Music activists.
The agreement follows the three-year-long Stop Murder Music campaign, which resulted in the cancellation of hundreds of the singers' concerts and sponsorship deals, causing them income losses estimated in excess of five million dollars.
"The Reggae Compassionate Act is a big breakthrough," said Peter Tatchell, of the British gay human rights group OutRage!. Mr Tatchell is coordinator of the worldwide Stop Murder Music campaign. He helped negotiate the deal with the three singers.
"The singers' rejection of homophobia and sexism is an important milestone. We rejoice at their new commitment to music without prejudice," said Mr Tatchell.
"This deal will have a huge, positive impact in Jamaica and the Caribbean. The media coverage will generate public awareness and debate; breaking down ignorance and undermining homophobia.
"Having these major reggae stars renounce homophobia will influence their fans and the wider public to rethink bigoted attitudes. The beneficial effect on young black straight men will be immense," he said.
This view is mirrored by fellow Stop Murder Music campaigner, Dennis L Carney, Vice-Chair of the Black Gay Mens Advisory Group (BGMAG) in London. Mr Carney is of Jamaican descent, and played a leading role in negotiating the Reggae Compassionate Act. He added:
"I am thrilled that Beenie Man, Sizzla and Capleton have signed up to this historic agreement with the Stop Murder Music campaign. We welcome their commitment to not produce music or make public statements that incite hatred and violence against gay people".
"This is a giant leap towards restoring peace, love and harmony to reggae music. These performers are sending a clear message that lesbians and gay men have a right to live free from fear and persecution – both here in the UK and in Jamaica," concluded Mr Carney.
In the Reggae Compassionate Act the three singers pledge to:
In this declaration the artists promise to not sing lyrics or make public statements, in Jamaica or anywhere else in the world, that incite prejudice, hatred or violence against lesbian and gay people.
"By signing the Reggae Compassionate Act they are stating that, in future, they will not release new homophobic songs or authorise the re-release of previous homophobic songs," added Mr Tatchell.
"They also agree that they will not make homophobic public statements.
"They recognise that prejudice, hate and violence have no place in music – that singers should unite people, not divide them. They are now committed to opposing homophobic prejudice, discrimination and violence.
"This commitment is a major blow against homophobia in the Caribbean and in popular music.
"The Reggae Compassionate Act applies worldwide. If any of the three singers break this agreement anywhere in the world, we will resume the campaign against them.
"As a result of them signing this statement, for a trial period we are suspending the campaign against these three performers. If they abide by the agreement we will make this suspension permanent.
"The other five murder music artists – Elephant Man, TOK, Bounty Killa, Vybz Kartel and Buju Banton – have not signed the Reggae Compassionate Act. The campaign against them continues. These singers have incited the murder of lesbians and gays. They should not be rewarded with concerts or sponsorship deals.
"The Stop Murder Music campaign urges organisations worldwide to intensify the campaign to cancel these five singer's concerts and their record, sponsorship and advertising deals. These artists have openly encouraged the murder of lesbians and gay men, which is a criminal offence in every country. We call on all people of good conscience to boycott these promoters of hatred and violence; and to campaign against them with the same determination that they would campaign against racists and anti-Semites.
"These unrepentant homophobic performers are the moral equivalent of neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan," said Mr Tatchell.
His views are echoed by Gareth Wiliams, co-chair of the Jamaican gay human rights group, J-Flag:
"This statement against homophobia and violence is a move in the right direction," he said.
"We hope it is not commercially motivated by the singers' desire to maintain their concert revenues, but a sincere commitment that will encourage an end to homophobic violence and to all violence against everyone. The five artists who have not signed the statement should now follow this lead and declare their support for universal human rights, including the human rights of lesbian and gay people," said Mr Williams.
Brett Lock, an OutRage! member and key organiser in the Stop Murder Music campaign, reiterated:
"We have never accepted any agreement whereby an artist agrees to not perform homophobic lyrics at concerts in Europe and the US, but continues performing them in the Caribbean.
"The idea that these singers can incite the murder of gay people in Jamaica and then come to Europe and be accepted as legitimate artists is morally sick and indefensible.
"The only agreement we will accept is an agreement that they will not incite homophobic hatred and violence – in lyrics or in public statements – anywhere in the world, including Jamaica. This is what the Reggae Compassionate Act says, and this is the pledge made by the three singers who have signed it," said Mr Lock.
The Reggae Compassionate Act was negotiated by Eddie Brown of Pride Music UK, with the support of the promoters Michel Jovanovic (Mediacom France), Klaus Maack (Contour Germany), Peter Senders (Panic Productions Holland), Fabrizio Pompeo (Tour de Force Italy), Julian Garcia (Roots and Vibes Spain) and Tim Badejo (Dubble Bubble Scandinavia).
"We would not have secured this agreement without their helpful contacts, input, patience and commitment. We thank them for their hard work," added Mr Tatchell.

"Produced in Boston, shared with the world" is more than a slogan at WGBH. It's a badge of honor to be part of this city's vibrant cultural community. That's one of the many reasons we're pleased with the Brighton studios that became our home in 2007. Come visit!
Take a tour of the studios where we create all the TV, radio, Web, and community programs and services you enjoy, or join us for a screening, performance, or other event. Get directions and information about our free parking.
- We're proud to be LEED-certified by the US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program. Among the efforts that earned us that distinction: reclaiming a "brownfield," environmental construction practices, and a solar farm and "green" roof.
- WGBH is recognized by the City of Boston as a Bike Friendly Business. We support bicycling for our employees, and for our visitors.
- We built transparency into the plans for our studios, as befits a trusted public media company dedicated to illuminating lives. (Year after year, Roper Polls show that PBS is #1 in public trust, ahead of courts of law, commercial and cable TV, newspapers, Congress, and the federal government.)
- The WGBH digital mural that brightens the day for passersby was designed to provoke thought, inspire curiosity, and reflect the content and values of public media.
- Boston magazine calls our facility the city's "most exciting company headquarters since the John Hancock Tower," and The Boston Globe says it's "a visual landmark to match the importance of WGBH as a cultural institution."
All this was made possible by 25,000 individuals — friends and neighbors just like you — who contributed more than $64 million to Breaking New Ground: The Campaign for WGBH. Together with funding from Harvard University, which purchased WGBH's previous land and property in Allston, these generous donors helped build our all-digital studios. Neither membership dollars nor federal funds were used to construct or support our studios, including the digital mural.

How Michael Phelps Was Beaten By The Kid Who Idolised Him
In 2008, an awkward 14-year-old Joseph Schooling walked up to his idol, Michael Phelps, and asked for a photo.
Little did either of them know, that just eight years later, they'd be competing against each other in Rio.
Yep, 21-year-old Joseph Schooling managed to beat champion Michael Phelps in the 100-metre butterfly in an incredible result.

According to a report on Daily Mail, Schooling was moved to the US for training at age 14. Michael Phelps was Schooling's hero and inspired him to move to the United States for the extensive training.

He then attended Bolles School in Jacksonville, Florida before attending the University of Texas. In 2013, Schooling's mother, May predicted her son would be a success in Rio, but could never have predicted Friday's result.
'In 2016, he will definitely be a finalist,' she said in 2013.
'Podium… if he gets there, it'll be good, whatever the medal.'

Community colleges from across Mississippi asked lawmakers to reach a little deeper in their budgeting pockets to ensure funding is where it should be.
Kelsey Chandler enrolled at Hinds Community College a couple of years ago and says she couldn't be happier about her decision.
"It helped me get out of my fears for going to college because going to college can be scary coming out of high school," Chandler said.
As a current sophomore, she joined with other students, faculty and staff, highlighting the state's 15 community and junior colleges and their impact on the state's work force and future success.
"We teach about a quarter of a million people a year and we are the main entity that teaches job skills to folks in our state," said Dr. Eric Clark,
executive director of the Mississippi Community College Board.
Clark says more and more students are turning to community colleges for various reasons. For chandler, it all came down to affordability.
"I wouldn't have been able to go to (a 4-year) college at all, so going to community college made college possible for me," said Chandler.
To keep that possibility alive for students like Chandler, Clark says it all comes down to funding, or in this case, the consistent lack of it.
During a rally at the Capitol Thursday, Clark helped lead the charge asking lawmakers to live up to a law they passed. The Mid-Level Funding Act, passed in 2007, grants community college funding at a mid-level between public schools and universities.
Based on recent funding levels, that should put the community college funding at about $5,100 per student. The problem is, current funding is just more than half of that, at about $2,700.
"We're asking as the legislature comes to a close in the next month, to make community colleges a priority and to make some progress on mid-level funding," Clark said.
Without it, Clark says salaries decrease and so do the number of classes offered, despite demand.
Sen. Terry Burton of Newton told the group he'll work to do all he can to make sure they have what they need.
"Our continued economic success demands that we provide for you what we can from the state," Burton said.

It is possible to learn this cut from any of the other JC daily cool-downs, but only after learning all of that color's cuts and even then the color of cut learned is randomly chosen from all of the other colors/cuts not yet learned.

This question can be interpreted a couple of ways, but I'll answer the way I think you are asking it - correct me if I misunderstood please.<snip>
I have 2 cats called dave and dave.
I want to learn to tap dance.
[Finished my last class yesterday. It's been 55 consecutive credits (January of last year). I'm done for the next two months, I need a break.
The way my mother always told me was that my left foot faced forward and my right foot was turned backwards. They never took any pictures of it so I'm a little suspect.
I don't ever recall her saying it was a divine healing.
I just called my dad to get the story straight. He said it wasn't completely backwards but extremely crooked. No special doctor visits just my parents working my foot into where it should be every time they changed diapers. I started tap dancing when I was a little over two years old and he said that was the physical therapy to help keep my foot how it should be.

Still Just Grace: Excerpt
My real name is Grace, and if that was your real name then you would think that if someone wanted your attention they would shout "Grace!" but that is not what happens for me. I am not a usual person, but you can't tell that by just looking at me, because most of my unusualness is pretty much on the inside. My outside wrapping looks like any other girl's, except I don't wear very much pink because that is definitely not one of my favorite colors.
Having four girls named Grace in the same class, and not letting any of them use the name Grace. Instead, calling them Grace W., Gracie, Grace F. (secretly named the Big Meanie by me, because that is what she is), and Just Grace. The Just Grace name probably being the most dumb name in the whole world ever, which is especially bad and sad because that's the one that is mine.
Thinking that someone is 100 percent disgusting and not likable, and then having something happen that changes your mind a little bit so that the gross disgusting feeling is almost all gone, even when you have to stand right next to him and say, "Hi, Sammy."
Having a little superpower that almost no one knows about. Empathy power is the power to feel someone else's sadness, and then to try to make that sadness go away. It's not an easy power to have. I know, because I have it.
It still tasted good, though!
Girls who draw comics, because mostly that's a boy thing, though it just doesn't make any sense why it would be that way. Butterfly Lady can make you feel better just by wrapping you in her big beautiful wings.
Living next door to your most perfect friend in the whole world. And having that friend be someone as great as Mimi.
Having a cool French flight attendant named Augustine Dupre living right in your very own basement. But living in a great apartment that your dad made, not in the scary-spider part next to the furnace.
Hopefully they will never meet!

This week in Island history
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 25, 50, 75, and 100 years ago from the Newport Daily News comes from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
100 years ago From the Newport Daily News, August 14, 1905:
A special executive session of the town council was held Saturday evening. The proceedings are supposed to be kept quiet, but it is understood that the principal business was the appointment of a constable to enforce the liquor law. Mr. Lewis E. Peckham has received the appointment. It is understood that the council intends to take hold of the liquor question here vigorously and will suppress the two or three places which are alleged to be dispensing liquor to all comers under the cloak of being a club.
The automobile question, it is said, also occupied some of the time of the council. It is understood that Mr. Elijah Anthony was appointed a committee to see that the police properly enforce the law regarding the speed limit, which it is said is broken every day. In fact, this noon two automobiles were timed going from ferry to ferry, a distance of one mile and it was found that they covered the distance in little over two and one half minutes. This did not break the record by any means, as machines have done it in half the time.
From the Newport Daily News, August 15, 1905:
The run from Jamestown to Beaver Tail is being extensively used by automobiles. A large number are seen on the road daily.
From the Newport Daily News, August 16, 1905:
It is reported that since the new constable has been appointed to enforce the liquor law, one of the clubs here has closed its doors and gone out of business.
75 years ago From the Newport Daily News, August 20, 1930:
The Jamestown & Newport Ferry Company has discontinued the sounding of the five-minute warning whistle, a custom which dates back more than 50 years. The object at that time was to warn the people that the ferry was about to leave. It is hoped that this change will assist in maintaining a more accurate schedule.
At Peckham's polo field, on Beavertail road, tomorrow evening the Jitney players are to present "The Wonder," or "A Woman Keeps a Secret." This is to be given for the benefit of Jamestown Unit, No. 22, American Legion Auxiliary.
From the Newport Daily News, August 21, 1930:
Ferdinand Armbrust is building a miniature 18-hole golf course on his property on Narragansett Avenue, and already has a long list of members.
A few of the members of the former Clambake Club, comprising about 30, held a clambake at Short Point Saturday evening.
50 years ago From the Newport Daily News, August 16, 1955:
The Beavertail area, which was closed last week for three days because of the hurricane threat, was reopened to motorists and picnickers Sunday. Bathers visited Mackerel Cove but bathing was hampered by the heavy seaweed and debris churned up by the heavy seas. An eight-foot shark was sighted on the sand bar at Mackerel Cove Sunday afternoon by Frank Kennedy of Woonsocket who was bathing with his children. A large number of porpoises following school tuna were seen in the Mackerel Cove area. From the Newport Daily News, August 20, 1955:
Hurricane Connie collected a share of the toll on the Jamestown Bridge this month, according to the report of Manager Charles L. Hull last night at the meeting of the bridge commission. Hull said the gross revenue of $2,222.95 for the first 14 days of August compared with the same period last year was 12 percent less due to the hurricane threat which cut down on traffic.
25 years ago From the Newport Daily News, August 19, 1980:
Residents of Jamestown jammed the Recreation Center to overflowing last night during a three-hour public hearing on the route of the proposed new Jamestown Bridge. Between 400 and 500 attended.
15 years ago From the Jamestown Press, August 16, 1990:
Recycling is coming to Jamestown residents later this month. Blue recycling bins will be delivered to Jamestown starting on Tuesday, Aug. 21. Rhode Island is the first state in the nation to conduct a mandatory recycling program.
Jellyfish, brought into Jamestown waters by the warm currents of the Gulf Stream, prompted the closing of Mackerel Cove Beach on Sunday and Monday.
10 years ago From the Jamestown Press, August 17, 1995:
The Town Council will consider a plan to limit the rise of Lyme disease by allowing hunters to kill some of the island's deer. The recommendation to permit deer hunting on the island came from the council's Lyme Disease Task Force.
Town officials ordered the Mackerel Cove town beach closed to swimmers Tuesday due to the heavy surf. Officials expected the town beach to remain closed to swimmers Wednesday.

It's that old devil fog again, wafting over the landscape on currents of overly-heated air, concealing details as it moves across them, obscuring to the point where the only thing you're aware of is the fog itself, with no thought to what might lie within it. And like everything else on this series, it's supposed to be symbolic. Not particularly symbolic of anything, mind you. Just sort of symbolic in a vague sort of way that's meant to drive anyone insane if they try looking for too much meaning in it. It could represent the mysteries inherent in this shadowed land.
Maybe it's Mark Burnett's desperate attempts to keep any and all information away from the spoilers. Or it could just mean that, as with every season before this, the producers have absolutely no idea where they're going and are just driving around in desperate, unlifting blindness, hoping not to hit too many things on the way.
Yes, the fog is very symbolic this time of year, and what it mostly symbolizes is a series editor who won't have a job next season. And really, it would be sort of mysterious if we didn't know exactly what was going to happen next. We'll meet a bunch of Desperate Attention-seeking Whores. We'll learn to despise every last one of them, generally within the first five seconds after said meeting. They'll shake one hand and hold a knife behind their back with the other. There will be alliances, shameless manipulation, outright lying, the occasional dead grandmother, and just a little murder in the dark. And in the end, someone will win a million dollars that they do not in any way deserve. Which can actually still be okay once they realize that post-tax, it's closer to $550,000. It's very important, remembering about the taxes. Right, Dicque?
The fog clears just a little, the camera dips down, and 'We are in Putan, in northern Guatemala.' No, we're not. We are on the Eastern Seaboard, and we think it's very funny, how desperate you are to have the audience identify themselves with you -- while at the same time, establishing that you're better than them, an entirely different species if you want to get right down to it, and they can never, ever be you. You will, however, occasionally stop to mating with one of us. What was the saying? 'Two people, thirty-nine seconds, one climax. And it's not going to be yours.' We all know this voice, these shirts taken directly from the Career's End catalog, the hair made of wire and reinforced with the blood of almost two hundred nearly-human sacrifices. We are in front of our television, he is in Guatemala, and this is Jeff Probst, who's really become much happier since he decided to usurp just a little bit of Mark's ringmaster powers. Jeff wants to talk about how you're doing in the challenges. Jeff wants to know where you stand in the tribe. Jeff wants you to vote out the old and unattractive, because as long as he's stuck here, he wants to have a little eye candy too. And Jeff still misses Colby. Oh, yes. He misses Colby very, very much. But we don't talk about Colby, do we? Because we only have an hour with Jeff and if we mention Colby, we'll set off a crying jag that's good for at least eighty minutes, plus thirty to put his artificial skin back into the wrinkles. Water makes it run.
Jeff is deep in the jungles of Guatemala, because Mark told him to be there and Jeff is just a little scared of Mark, and Jeff is surrounded by ruins that are thousands of years old. These are ruins from the Maya civilization. The Mayans were very good at astronomy and mathematics and oh yes, human sacrifice. We can't forget the human sacrifice, can we? It's not as if they made a habit of it or anything. More like a culture. They were exactly like us, except that the human sacrifice didn't get any coverage on Entertainment Tonight. And one day, they just went and vanished, because when you have a culture of sacrificing your citizens, you have to be very careful to make sure you have a few left for next time. That's why reality television makes us smarter than the Mayans. We're only getting rid of up to twenty at a time. We could do this forever, or at least until we get bored with Jeff and Mark and sacrifice them too. That's the great thing about America. We'll kill anyone if it'll amuse us for five seconds. And Jeff knows this. That's why he's been getting so many wrinkles lately.
The ruins have been left to the locals, and the locals are just a little defensive. They include giant spiders, poisonous snakes, howler monkeys, jaguars, and that old favorite among predators, Jerri, who lurks in every body of water, just waiting to strike -- wait. That's a crocodile. Our bad. The point is, it's dangerous out there. There are a lot of predators who see nearly-humans as nothing but the next meal, albeit one with a particularly high-pitched scream and far too many preservatives, and they'd be happy to prove their viewpoint on a moment's lack of notice. You can get killed in this jungle, oh so very easily. It might even be from a source other than a fellow nearly-human's hand. You never know. Variety is the spice of what used to be life.
Temperatures in the 120s. Humidity hovering right around the hundredth percentile. The kind of torrential downpours that make your skin into a very wriggly overcoat that you'd slice off if only your fellows weren't trying to beat you to it. And the ruins. But we're not interested in the ruins, now are we? We're interested in the soon-to-be-ruined. Sixteen Americans, who have already been divided into two teams of eight, well before we even got to learn their names. (And we will never, ever be introduced to those people again, because Mark doesn't care about them. He used to show us how they lived before they came into his clutches, and then he realized all we wanted to know was how they would die. Forty-eight seconds of stock still footage, gone forever. And all the more for Jeff.) Sixteen Americans, soon to be become eighteen, who will be stupid and ignorant and egotistical as they enter the land of Deep Denial where they will live forevermore, not recognizing the effects their lives have on those who witness them, not realizing that being witnessed has any effect at all. They are good and pure and true, and nothing they could do inside the game would ever reflect who they were as people, now could it? But then, they're not real people. They're DAWs.
We shoot DAWs, don't we?
Sixteen Americans, even now hiking through the jungle, homing in on the aura of artificial perfection that glints off Jeff's wire. Sixteen Americans, with two more lurking in the wings, waiting to surprise their fellows. Eighteen contestants total, all of whom will lie, cheat, backstab and otherwise demonstrate the best qualities of the nearly-human race in order to be the last one atop the step pyramid, the only one not sacrificed to all the others, the one we get our hands on once they get home.
Eighteen contestants. Thirty-nine days. One exceptionally bloody finale.
Survivor's back. And for five whole seconds, everything is good.
And then they roll the opening credits.

An important part of many DBAs' and SQL Server administrators' jobs is keeping databases current. Doing so involves adding, changing, and deleting data from tables. T-SQL makes these tasks easy. You just need to use INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements. Before I show you how to use these statements, there are a few things you need to do before proceeding.
The Prerequisites
The sample INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements I use in this article are run against a simple database named MyDB, which contains a few dummy tables and a table named MyTable. MyTable is used to store the names of the various dummy tables. The only purpose of the dummy tables is to take up space. By merely existing, they ensure that you'll have data in the sysobjects table that you can use as a data source for inserting data into MyTable.
Related: T-SQL 101, Lesson 1
Assuming that you have the permissions needed to create databases and tables and to issue datamodification statements, you can create MyDB, MyTable, and the dummy tables with the MyDB .sql and MyTable.sql files. You can download these files by going to Download the Code hotlink icon above. After you've downloaded and unzipped the 98105.zip file, open a query window in either SQL Server 2005's SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) or SQL Server 2000's Query Analyzer and copy the code in MyDB.sql into the window. In the two FILENAME entries, replace C:\Program Files Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA MyDB.mdf with a valid path on your server. Run the query to create MyDB. To create MyTable and the dummy tables, copy the code in MyTable.sql into the query window and execute it.
Before working with data in any table, you should familiarize yourself with the table's layout. So, open MyTable and do so.
Inserting a Single Record
A basic INSERT statement that adds a single record (aka row) to a table consists of three parts and looks like
INSERT INTO Part1 (Part2) VALUES (Part3)
Part1 is where you specify the target table that will hold the new record. Part2 is where you list the names of the columns in the target table for which you have data. You need to enclose the list in parentheses and use commas to separate column names. Part3 is where you provide the data to be inserted. When you want to specify the actual data values, you use the VALUES parameter followed by those values. You need to enclose the list of data values in parentheses and separate the values with commas. When a value is character based—such as a string or a datetime value—you also need to enclose it in single quotes (' '). For example, running the following statement inserts the data values of TestTable and 2007-09-22 into MyTable's ObjectName and Creation- Date columns, respectively:
INSERT INTO MyTable (ObjectName, CreationDate) VALUES ('TestTable', '2007-09-22')
If you familiarized yourself with MyTable earlier, you probably noticed that I only specified two of the three columns in this INSERT statement. The first column is an identity column, which has a special meaning. The data for that column is automatically added and its values incremented with each record being inserted. This is a powerful feature of SQL Server that you should be aware of. If you want to learn more about identity data types, take a look at the IDENTITY (Property) Web page in SQL Server Books Online (BOL) at msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186775.aspx.
To view the newly inserted record, execute the code
SELECT * FROM MyTable
Figure 1 shows what the results should look like.
Inserting the Results from a SELECT Statement
In "T-SQL 101, Lesson 1" (March 2008, InstantDoc ID 97724), I showed you how to get data out of a database with a SELECT statement. You can use the INSERT statement to store the data retrieved by the SELECT statement in a table. Like the single-record INSERT statement, the INSERT statement that stores the results of a SELECT statement has three parts: the target database (Part1), the column names (Part2), and the data (Part3). However, instead of using the VALUES parameter to specify the actual data values in Part3, you use a SELECT statement that retrieves the data from another source. For example, when run against the MyDB database, the query
INSERT INTO MyTable (ObjectName, CreationDate) SELECT name, crdate FROM sysobjects WHERE type = 'U' ORDER BY name
inserts into our new table MyTable records that contain the name and creation date of all the user-defined tables in MyDB, ordered alphabetically by their names. So, assuming you ran the single-record INSERT statement previously discussed, your results from this query should look like those in Figure 2, with two exceptions. First, the CreationDate values for the MyTable and dummy tables will contain the date and time when you ran MyTable.sql. Second, the ObjectName column will be wider. (I shortened it for space reasons.)
In Figure 2, note that TestTable is still the first record. The ORDER BY name clause only applies to the new records that the SELECT statement is inserting. TestTable was added previously with the single-record INSERT statement.
You can use any SELECT statement you like, as long as the data types of the columns listed in Part2 of the INSERT statement match those columns specified in the SELECT statement. This opens the door for capturing all sorts of data. Use your newfound knowledge with caution, however. You don't want to be inserting millions of records at a time on a busy server or on a server with limited disk space.
Updating Data
Now that you have a handle on inserting data, let's look at how the UPDATE statement works. A simple UPDATE statement typically consists of three parts:
UPDATE Part1 SET Part2 WHERE Part3
Part1 is where you specify the target table. Part2 is where you specify the columns that are to be changed, along with the new data for each column. Part3 is optional but in most cases essential. This is where you specify a filter using the WHERE clause. If you don't specify a WHERE clause, you'll update every single record in the table. For example, the query
UPDATE MyTable SET CreationDate = '2007-09-23'
updates the CreationDate value for each record in MyTable, as Figure 3 shows. In Figure 3, note that the CreationDate value is 2007-09-23 00:00:00.000 and not 2007-09-23 as specified in the query. Because the data type of the CreationDate column is defined as datetime and the query doesn't specify a time portion, SQL Server assumes you mean midnight and adds 00:00:00.000.
Now let's use a WHERE clause to modify the ObjectName and CreationDate columns for a specific record:
UPDATE MyTable SET ObjectName = 'PartyTime', CreationDate = '1999-12-31 23:00:00' WHERE TableID = 1
As Figure 4 shows, only the first record (specified by WHERE TableID = 1) is updated with the new table name of PartyTime and a new creation date of 1999-12-31 23:00:00.
Deleting Data
The command that every DBA fears will fall into the wrong hands is the DELETE statement. Although it can be misused, it serves an important role when using queries to modify data in tables. A basic DELETE statement typically consists of two parts:
DELETE Part1 WHERE Part2
Part1 is where you specify the target table. Part2 is where you specify a filter using the WHERE clause. Like the WHERE clause in an UPDATE statement, the WHERE clause in a DELETE statement is optional but usually essential. If you don't include a WHERE clause and filter, you'll delete all the records in the specified table.
Let's say you want to delete the records with a creation date older than September 22, 2007 from MyTables. The query
DELETE MyTable WHERE CreationDate > '2007-09-22'
will do just that, as Figure 5 shows. You need to be careful when modifying data with either the DELETE or UPDATE statement. Always include a WHERE clause unless you're positive you want to affect all the records in a table. If you're unsure of how many records you'll be affecting, try running a SELECT statement with the same WHERE clause.
Instead of specifying columns in the SELECT statement, you can specify COUNT (*), which will return a count of the rows that would be affected. For example, to check the effect of the last DELETE statement, you could run
SELECT COUNT (*) FROM MyTable WHERE CreationDate > '2007-09-22'
If the result set is in the millions, chances are you need to refine your WHERE clause. I'll cover the use of the COUNT function in the next lesson, so don't fret if you can't get it to work.
Explore on Your Own
Once you're comfortable in modifying the data in MyTable, you might try running INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements against tables in an existing database on a nonproduction server. To do so, copy the code in ExistingDatabaseQuery. sql (which is in the 98105 .zip file) in your query window, replace MyDB in the first line to the name of your existing database, and run the query. Afterward, you'll be able to customize the sample INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements to your environment and run them. By doing so, you'll learn how to better use these statements. You might even find data that you didn't know existed.

Stories like a bale unrolling: a review of Conjugations of the Verb To Be
Conjugations of the Verb To Be
Glen Chamberlain
193 pages, softcover: $11.95.
Delphinium Press, September.
The fictional ranching town of Buckle in eastern Montana is the setting for Bozeman writer Glen Chamberlain's short-story collection Conjugations of the Verb To Be. The stories, though independent, are skillfully intertwined; the lives of the characters overlap and intermingle in the many ordinary ways necessitated by life in any small town. This is one of the book's great charms, piecing together the various histories of the town through the eyes of its disparate inhabitants. Chamberlain works like a cameraman, slowly pulling back until the entire valley is revealed and Buckle -- hayfield by hayfield, generation after generation -- materializes out of the early morning fog.
"Stacking," arguably the central story, is a three-part Garden of Eden fable that follows the lives of two families over three generations, including three successive Emma Orchards and their relationships with the farming family across the river, the Awns. Anyone who has lived in a small town will recognize the silences and forbidden conversations, the curiosity and hate, the lust and forbidden love that build up between families and neighbors over the years.
These intelligent stories unfold at the pace of rural life itself. Ultimately, Conjugations is about place: In 11 quiet gems, Chamberlain has captured rural Montana. Conjugations should be read not only for its underlying wisdom, but also for its sentences, the cadence and roll of the language. Describing the hydraulic spear on a tractor and spreading hay, Chamberlain writes, "Like a spindle it would go through the center of the hay spool and, when he was ready to feed, the hay would unroll like a green-and-blue Persian rug -- a long colorful runner sprinkled with blue alfalfa blossoms in a monochromatic winter room in which the cattle lived."
Chamberlain's characters are full of questions, self-doubt and compassion. Conjugations, like that bale unrolling, is a slowly revealed whole -- substantial and nourishing.

Watch Def Leppard's Special YouTube Concert
After teasing it for the past week, Def Leppard made good Thursday afternoon with a full video performance and Q&A session for fans via their YouTube channel.
The timing was perfect for the band. They play a prominent role in the upcoming film 'Rock of Ages' (due June 15) and have re-recorded versions of two songs for the film. Plus they have a full-on tour with Poison and Lita Ford that launches on June 20 in Salt Lake City.
The performance portion was taped Wednesday (June 6) at Los Angeles' House of Blues in front of an intimate audience. Their seven-song set includes such favorites as the newly recorded 'Rock of Ages' and 'Pour Some Sugar on Me,' the latter of which featured a consensus arm hoisting from the audience.
Other favorites performed during the set included 'Foolin,' 'Animal,' 'Hysteria,' 'Let it Go,' and 'Bringin' on the Heartbreak.' Singer Joe Elliott pointed out that this year marks the 25th anniversary for the 'Hysteria' album before breaking into the title track. 'Let it Go' also featured a blistering solo from guitarist Phil Collen.
During the question and answer portion, Joe Elliott revealed that the band had been asked to license their music "seven or eight times before," and always said no because the project wasn't right. But the singer admitted that once they were asked to contribute the track to something that had a bit of a successful history … oh and it had Tom Cruise in it too … the 'Rock of Ages' theatrical release ended up being that right project to get them to sign off on the usage.
