Third Eye Blind has been off the charts for close to a decade but the '90s alternative rock band didn't miss a beat Saturday afternoon while performing on the Main Stage at the 2014 Firefly Music Festival in Dover.
Third Eye Blind has been off the charts for close to a decade but the '90s alternative rock band didn't miss a beat Saturday afternoon while performing on the Main Stage at the 2014 Firefly Music Festival in Dover.
With over 20 years and four records under their belt, Third Eye filled the air with '90s nostalgia with almost all of the band's hit songs including "Semi Charmed Life," "Jumper" and "Losing a Whole Year."
The San Francisco natives aren't on tour this summer but lead singer Stephen Jenkins told the crowd it was a treat for the band to play the festival and introduce fans to new music.
Jenkins was quite the entertainer and expressed his love for the crowd on numerous occasions. He also talked up the band's upcoming album, which they are currently working on, stating it is the fans that drives his creative spirit.
"The energy and spirit I need, I'm telling you, it comes from you guys. Thank you," Jenkins said.
Third Eye Blind's 45-minute set was full of energy and didn't seem like it was long enough, yet Jenkins and his bandmates made every minute count as the fans sang along with nearly every song. The unique alternative pop-rock sound that Third Eye Blind is known for was a breath of fresh air in a sea of indie/folk rock bands at Firefly this weekend. Fans were reintroduced to the songs they loved, while other concertgoers possibly found a new band to enjoy.
The performance was the first for Third Eye Blind at Firefly but Jenkins said during the final song of the concert – "Jumper" – that they'd like to return next year.
"We hope to see you all again," Jenkins said.
In the end, Third Eye Blind was a crowd-pleaser, especially Jenkins who jumped off the stage, slapped some hands and even planted an unexpected kiss on the lips of a fan.

Someone once advised me to avoid writing about the weather, advice, which, although probably sound, I manage to ignore on a regular basis.
The reason for staying away from weather stories is that by the time we rush something into print the climatic conditions have changed five times, and the drought we reported a week ago has morphed into monsoon, sleet, hail and snow melt, with a fair dose of dust storms if you happen to live in West Texas or Oklahoma. And an occasional tornado rips through just to add a bit of suspense.
The reason I ignore sage advice, aside from my penchant for being obstinate, is that weather, especially in the Southwest, is just too fascinating to ignore. So I was more than a bit amused recently to read a news story from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicting weather for the coming growing season.
Guess what, Texas will be drier than normal! And hotter.
Alert the media. No, wait, I am the media and I have been alerted. Never mind.
Neither of the weather twins, Nino nor his sister Nina, will be in residence this summer, which does not mean that all weather is put on hold until one or the other gets back from wherever weather nymphs vacation. Strange, they never spend any time at home together. Must be lonely.
An expert explains. "There is neither an El Nino nor La Nina in place; therefore, we expect a typical level of springtime variability in temperature and precipitation to occur in many areas of the nation," said Conrad C. Lautenbacher, administrator of NOAA. (I've always thought it appropriate that the agency in charge of bad weather would be named for the man who rode out the worst storm in the history of the world. And on a homemade boat.)
I'd like, however, a better definition of "typical level of springtime variability in temperature and precipitation." That says to me that folks don't have a clue what the weather is gong to be like in April.
Wonder what the Farmer's Almanac has to say about weather patterns for the coming months. I think I have the 2004 edition, but if not I'll just check last years. They all seem pretty much the same.
Okay, for April, the Harris Farmers Almanac predicts temperatures below normal and precipitation slightly above normal. Coolest weather should occur on April 1, 6-9, 14-18 and 24-29. The average temperature ranges from 53 in the north of the Southwest Region to 61 to the south.
May also will see temperatures lightly below normal and precipitation slightly above. Harris agrees with NOAA that things heat up in June and July, with temperatures slightly hotter in both months and precipitation about average for June but slightly less than usual for July.
August will be about average for both rainfall and temperature, which means it likely will be hot enough to toast a toad and dry enough to turn him to dust.
September and October temperatures and precipitation should be near normal.
I've lived in the Southwest for going on five years now and I'm still waiting on a stretch of normal weather. I'm afraid that normal, in weather terms, means consistently variable, which seems oxymoronic to me. How can something be consistent and variable at the same time?
I will go out on a limb, however, and make my own prediction about Southwest weather for the 2004 growing season.
It will be interesting.

I've been a fan of South Park for a number of years now, but never more so than after the latest episode, "Jewpacabra". Among other things, Matt and Trey do an excellent job of highlighting the true nature of Jehovah, that of a cruel, vindictive bastard. Memorable scenes include Eric and Butters trying to lure the Jewpacabra out of hiding by saying "Jesus is a lie", and "There was no Christ", and a hallucinating Eric in a scene from Passover depicting bloody lamb sacrifices and Kyle trying to convince Eric that Jehovah is in fact a bastard because he hardened Pharaoh's heart, never intending for there to be a peaceful solution to the slave issue. "Oh, the poor frogs!" X-D
They also took direct aim at those who believe in mythical beings like Bigfoot and Chupacabra, indicating that those who believe such things "are either lying or stupid". Based on their depiction of the researchers, Matt and Trey conclude the latter is the case.

That episode was SO GOOD. Last weeks meme episode was great, too. But seriously, I was delighted last night.
I love South Park .. I'm a huge fan!

Traumatic injury of the bladder and urethra involves damage caused by an outside force.
Alternative Names
Injury - bladder and urethra; Bruised bladder; Urethral injury; Bladder injury; Pelvic fracture; Urethral disruption
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Injuries to the bladder can be divided into:
- Blunt trauma (such as a blow to the body)
- Penetrating wounds (such as bullet or stab wounds)
The amount of injury to the bladder depends on how full the bladder was at the time of injury and what caused the injury.
Traumatic injury to the bladder is uncommon. Only about 8 - 10% of pelvic fractures lead to bladder injury. Because the bladder is located within the bony structures of the pelvis, it is protected from most outside forces. Injury may occur if there is a blow to the pelvis severe enough to break the bones and cause bone fragments to penetrate the bladder wall.
Other causes of bladder or urethra injury include:
- Surgeries of the pelvis or groin (including hernia repair and hysterectomy)
- Tears, cuts, bruises, and other injuries to the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body) -- most common in men.
- Straddle injuries (direct forcethat injures the area behindthe scrotum)
- Deceleration injury (for example, a motor vehicle accident that occurs when youhavea full bladder and are wearing aseatbelt)
Injury to the bladder or urethra may cause urine to leak into the abdomen, leading to infection (
Abdominal pain, lower Blood in the urine Difficulty beginning to urinateor inability to empty the bladder
- Loss of fluids
Painful urination
- Pelvic pain
- Severe bleeding
- Small, weak urine stream
Emergency symptoms that could be signs of
Decreased alertness
- Coma
Drowsiness, lethargy
- Increased
heart rate
- Pale skin
- Sweating
- Skin cool to the touch
Note: Symptoms occur after an injury.
If there is no or little urine released, there may be an increased risk of
Signs and tests
An examination of the genitals may show injury to the urethra. If the health care provider suspects an injury, an x-ray of the urethra using dye (retrograde urethrogram) should be done to show the structure of the lower urinary tract.
Examination may also show:
- Bladder injury or swollen (distended) bladder
- Other signs of pelvic injury, such as bruising over the penis, scrotum, and perineum
- Signs of hemorrhage or shock, including decreased blood pressure -- especially in cases of pelvic fracture
- Tenderness and bladder fullness when touched (caused by urine retention)
- Tender and unstable pelvic bones
- Urine in the abdominal cavity
A catheter (tube that drains urine from the body) may be inserted once an injury has been ruled out. An x-ray of the bladder using dye to highlight any damage can then be done.
The goals of treatment are to:
- Control symptoms
- Repair the injury
- Prevent complications
Emergency treatment of bleeding or shock may include:
- Blood transfusions
- Intravenous (IV) fluids
- Monitoring in the hospital
Treatment of peritonitis (inflammation of the abdominal cavity) may include emergency surgery to repair the injury and drain the urine from the abdominal cavity. Antibiotics may be given to treat peritonitis and to prevent urinary tract infections.
Surgical repair of the injury is usually successful. The bladder may be drained by a catheter through the urethra or the abdominal wall over a period of days to weeks. This will prevent urine from building up in the bladder, allowing the injured bladder or urethra to heal. This also prevents swelling in the urethra from blocking urine flow.
If the urethra has been cut, a urological specialist can place a catheter. If this cannot be done, a tube will be inserted through the abdominal wall and directly into the bladder. This is called a suprapubic tube. It will be left in place until swelling goes away and the urethra can be surgically repaired. This typically takes 3 - 6 months.
Expectations (prognosis)
Traumatic injury of the bladder and the urethra may range from minor to major and life-threatening. There may be severe, immediate, or long-term complications.
- Acute bilateral obstructive uropathy
- Bleeding, hemorrhage, shock
- Chronic bilateral obstructive uropathy
- Peritonitis
- Scar formation, blockage of the urethra
- Urinary retention
Calling your health care provider
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911), if you have symptoms of traumatic bladder or urethra injury -- especially if you have been injured in those areas.
Call your health care provider if symptomsget worseor new symptoms develop, including:
- Decrease in urine production
- Fever
- Severe abdominal pain
- Severe flank or back pain
- Shock or hemorrhage
Prevent outside injury to the bladder and urethra by using general safety precautions:
- Do not insert objects into the urethra
- If you need self-catheterization, follow the instructions of your health care provider
- Use appropriate safety equipment during work and play

Pinoy Australia Information Forum was founded by a small group of Filipinos whose aim is to migrate to Australia. It is now a leading online Filipino-Australian community site for Filipinos in Australia and a valuable resource for people also planning to migrate to Australia.
I'm very happy to announce PinoyAu Forum's new app called "SimplyStall" . It's a new Gumtree like service for Pinoys in Australia but in a way better!
So if you have any items just collecting dust? Why not convert it to cash?
If you are selling new items or products or wish to give an item away for free then this might be a good avenue for you.
This project is a new initiative to unify and have a common portal for Pinoys in Australia to sell and share stuffs.
It's now available on Google Play and Apple App Store.
Please do try it out. I'd appreciate if you can help me spread the good news and start selling your old or new stuffs.

Stop Blaming Google For Your Own Mistakes
from the say-it-loud dept
I also explained that unlike virtually all other publishers on the internet, newspapers were given extraordinary special status with Google. They were among the very select few to be admitted into Google News and receive the huge amounts of traffic it could send their ways. That many small blogs with excellent content struggle for admittance that these other publishers just got handed to them on a silver platter.My favorite part, though, may be Danny's response to the silly idea that newspapers should take their content offline for a week. We discussed that back in February, but Danny gets to the heart of the matter:
Please get all your newspaper colleagues to agree to a national "Just say no to Google" week. I beg you, please do it. Then I can see if these things I think will happen do happen:Indeed. But there seems to be some sort of incredible "logic blindness" that blocks newspaper industry execs from getting these simple facts.
- Papers go "oh shit," we really get a lot of traffic from Google for free, and we actually do earn something off those page views
- Papers go "oh shit," turns out people can find news from other sources
- Papers go "oh shit," being out of Google didn't magically solve all our other problems overnight, but now we have no one else to blame.

An application for creating fake members for Telegram
Orçamento $250-750 USD
Dear Programmer
We need your help for programming an application.
Project details:
An application for creating fake members in the well-known messaging app, Telegram (website address: [url removed, login to view]).
- The application should have the following capabilities:
1. Creating a certain number of virtual numbers (for instance, 1 million members).
2. Registering these numbers in Telegram.
3. Joining them to the specified channels (without any limitations on number of channels).
4. Viewing (visiting) all published posts (with an adjustable speed).
For more details, you can install Telegram on your Phone.
- ways to design the application.
There are two ways to create the application:
1. Using API of Telegram (given the access to channels in this method).
2. work with Mobile Telegram (to the best of our knowledge, similar softwares use this method) (recommended).
For virtual numbers, a combination of bluestack and other softwares such as Textnow can be used.
The reason we recommend Textnow is due to ease of register compared to other programs. furthermore, it don't need another numbers for creating an account.
And finally, the lifetime of each account should be changed from 3 months (Default mode) to 1 year.
If you have done a similar work already, or you know a better way to perform the project, we would be thankful if you explain it for us and then do it.
Please let us know your requested cost and time who you needed for the project.

And Live Online Streaming Immediately Following Monday Night's Episode
"Episode 108" - Two "Glass House" firsts - first, viewers of the reality series will get a chance to win $10,000 by visiting TheGlassHouseSweepstakes.com after the episode and correctly answering five questions about that night's show**; second, two already eliminated contestants will return to the house, and current players will receive unbelievable temptations to trade places with them and leave the game forever -- on "The Glass House," MONDAY, AUGUST 6 (10:01-11:00 p.m., ET), on ABC.
**Viewers can enter the sweepstakes from Monday, August 6 at 11:00 p.m., ET until Tuesday, August 7 at 8:00 a.m., ET. No purchase necessary. Open only to legal residents of the 50 United States and Washington, DC, 18 years of age or older. The winner will be chosen at random from all eligible entries. For Official Rules, entry details and restrictions, visit TheGlassHouseSweepstakes.com. Void where prohibited.
Also, after either Joy or Andrea is saved, the remaining players participate in a challenge called "Puppet Master," where teams will compete against each other by controlling puppets in a game of skill and endurance. Using their puppet in a theatrical setting, teams will have a set amount of time to get as many discs in their scoring tube as they can. The team with the highest score wins, while the team captain of the losing team and a voted-on member of that team are sent into limbo. Then it's up to the viewers to decide who is voted back into the house and who is sent home permanently.
In addition, viewers will continue to be able to participate in a daily poll deciding specific elements of the living environment for the contestants. They include (all times Eastern):
· Bed Reveal - Viewers vote on the bedroom assignments for the "Friends" and "Enemies" rooms (4:00 p.m. Saturday to 4:00 p.m. Sunday)
· Character - Viewers will protect their favorite players in the game (11:00 p.m. Wednesday to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday)
· Return from Limbo - Viewers vote one player back from limbo (8:00 p.m. Monday to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday)
· Food Control - Viewers control what players eat for 24 hours (4:00 p.m. Tuesday to 4:00 p.m. Wednesday)
· Fanswers - Viewers answer each player's question for the week (4:00 p.m. Wednesday to 2:00 p.m. Thursday)
· Clothing Control - Viewers control what players wear for 24 hours; either 18th century wigs or long false nails (4:00 p.m. Thursday to 4:00 p.m. Friday)
· Physical Activity - Viewers choose household chores for the Players to assume, including a supervisor position (4:00 p.m. Friday to 4:00 p.m. Saturday)
· Popularity - Viewers vote for their favorite players (Midnight Saturday to 4:00 p.m. Tuesday)
"The Glass House" takes interactive storytelling to the next level, with fans at ABC.com/GlassHouse directing the players' actions in the house both online and on-air. Every week, viewers are able to view an additional four-hour live stream from inside the house from 11:00 p.m.-3:00 a.m., ET and then again during the one-hour blocks from 3:00-4:00 p.m., ET, Tuesdays-Thursdays. In addition to the live polling, daily polls will pose larger strategic questions that impact what the players may do during the next on-air episode, and a Limbo Vote will determine which player can be saved from elimination. In addition, viewers will have the opportunity to give all of the player's feedback on their game from outside the house. How the players use that information is up to them, but in the end, this is about who plays the best social game, so the most important alliances players can have are with their fans.
"The Glass House" is executive-produced by Kenny Rosen ("Hell's Kitchen").
"The Glass House" is broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC's selected HDTV format, with stereo sound. This program carries a TV-14, L parental guideline.

With only nine match days in the Premier League season remaining and only 10 points separating 10th place from 20th, the battle to stay in England's top flight is on.
With more tough games coming up for Southampton, it could be difficult for them to keep out of the drop zone. However, they have a four point gap over their relegation rivals and with the odd winnable game around them, I can see them surviving. Predicted Finish: 16th
Wigan Athletic are the kings of surviving certain relegation. Having finished in the bottom half of the table in their last 6 campaigns, 5 of them being 15th to 17th, they have ridden their luck. However, with tough games until the end of the season, is it too much to ask them to do it again? Predicted Finish: 19th
Aston Villa are arguably on the worst run of form in the Premier League. Their results must change quickly if they are to survive. However with games coming up against fellow strugglers surrounding them, an early win in those games could see them get out of the danger zone with the quality of players they have. Predicted Finish: 17th
Reading have had a really tough run recently, with only one win in their last five games, it seems like it will be a tough time for them to escape the bottom three. With one of the hardest run ins for the bottom sides, it doesn't seem likely that they can survive. Predicted Finish: 20th
With QPR becoming harder to beat, their recent run of form has caused some concern from the teams surrounding them. With only 2 losses in their last 8, they have closed the gap on 17th placed Wigan. There is enough time for them to get out of their predicament and with some extremely important games coming up against the teams around them, they must keep their run of form going. However, I believe it will be too little, too late for Harry Redknapp and Co. Predicted Finish: 18th

Annual Report Card: Hershey, Trailing Behind Competitors, Gets "F" For Failing to Remove Child Labor From Its Chocolate Production
Groups: Hershey has failed to live up to promises the company made 10 years ago this month
WASHINGTON - A year has gone by since non-profit groups shined a spotlight on Hershey for its use of forced, child, and trafficked labor in its chocolate products. Twelve months later, the groups are saying that no progress has been made and that Hershey chocolate is still tainted by child labor.
Today, Green America, Global Exchange and the International Labor Rights Forum published a follow-up to the report they released last year: Time to Raise the Bar: The Real Corporate Social Responsibility Report for the Hershey Company. The updated report, the publication of which coincides with the expected annual release of Hershey's own corporate social responsibility (CSR) report, critiques Hershey's existing CSR initiatives and highlights the fact that Hershey is falling further behind its competitors in removing child labor from its products. The report urges Hershey to commit to sourcing Fair Trade cocoa to stop these abuses.
The three groups give Hershey an "F" for failing to remove child labor from its supply chain. September 19, 2011 will mark the 10-year anniversary of the signing of the Harkin-Engel Protocol – an agreement made by the country's largest chocolate companies, including Hershey – to put an end to forced child labor in chocolate by 2005. A full decade after making this commitment, hundreds of thousands of children continue to work in hazardous conditions on cocoa farms in West Africa, and human trafficking continues.
While some of Hershey's closest competitors, including Mars and Nestlé, have committed to begin sourcing cocoa that is independently certified to comply with labor rights standards, Hershey, the largest and most iconic chocolate company in the US—maker of Hershey's Bars, Reeses's Peanut Butter Cups, and Hershey's Kisses—still lags behind.
Since the release of the first "Raise the Bar" report, over 50,000 consumers nationwide have signed petitions to Hershey to "go Fair Trade", and thousands more have called the company and protested its stores. In spite of the mounting pressure, Hershey has yet to make any commitments to independent, third party certification for its cocoa to address child labor, as recommended by a comprehensive report issued by Tulane University, funded by the Department of Labor.
Judy Gearhart executive director of the International Labor Rights Forum, said, "A full decade after Hershey committed to ending the exploitation of children in its chocolate, it is a sad reality that this iconic chocolate brand continues to lag behind its competitors in ensuring that its primary ingredient does not harm children."
"It's increasingly clear that consumers care where the products they buy are from and how they were made," said Elizabeth O'Connell, Fair Trade Campaigns Director at Green America, "Every day that Hershey delays in instituting Fair Trade certification to prevent forced labor in its products is a day that tarnishes Hershey's image as "America's Chocolate Company".
Consumers, businesses, and legislators are increasingly pushing for greater transparency and the reduction of labor abuses in supply chains. The Time to Raise the Bar report calls for Hershey to take significant action on child labor, including immediate steps to eliminate forced, trafficked and child labor from its supply chain and the adoption of Fair Trade Certification for its major products.

Release Date: 04/20/2011
Contact Information: Dave Bary or Joe Hubbard at 214-665-2200 or email@example.com
(DALLAS – April 20, 2011) The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded the Oklahoma Office of the Secretary of Environment $2,880,650 to support three projects in the state's Clean Water Action Plan. The first project will implement Best Management Practices (BMP) in three priority watersheds in Oklahoma. The second project will reduce the impact of non-point source pollution in Eucha Lake through the establishment of floating wetlands, and the third project will create a vegetated wetland in the area where aquatic plants grow throughout the lake.
BMP are land treatments that prevent or mitigate runoff of non-point source pollutants from land into waterways. EPA works with states and other partners to protect water from excessive pollution and identify pollution sources.

It was indeed a helpful article, but after reading it I was left with the question: Is that all there is?
Why networking events are not the way to go? What are other ways of pitching yourself and your company to new clients besides filling out the existing proposals and knowing how to bid on a project, and conducting presentations?
Based on the content of this article it should've been titled 'Charm clients with winning proposals and presentations'. I would've liked to read more 'secrets' on acquiring and charming new clients and getting that coveted RFP from them.

The MySQL access control system enables you to create MySQL accounts and define what each account can do. Several types of privileges can be assigned to an account. They should be granted according to how the account is to be used. Some examples:
An account that needs only read access to a database can be given just the SELECT privilege.
An account used to modify data can be given the DELETE, INSERT, and UPDATE privileges.
Administrative accounts can be given the PROCESS or SUPER privileges for viewing client process activity or killing connections, or the SHUTDOWN privilege for stopping the server.
The MySQL server bases access control on the contents of the grant tables in the mysql database. These tables define MySQL accounts and the privileges they hold. To manage their contents, use the GRANT and REVOKE statements. These statements provide an interface to the grant tables that enables you to specify privileges without having to determine how to modify the tables directly. When you use GRANT and REVOKE to perform a privilege operation, the MySQL server determines what changes to the grant tables are needed and makes the modifications for you.
This section describes the structure and contents of the grant tables and how you set up user accounts using GRANT and REVOKE. Section 12.3, "Client Access Control," describes how the server uses the grant tables to check access privileges when clients connect.
12.2.1 Types of Privileges That MySQL Supports
You can grant several types of privileges to a MySQL account, and you can grant privileges at different levels (globally or just for particular databases, tables, or columns). For example, you can allow a user to select from any table in any database by granting the SELECT privilege at the global level. Or you might grant an account no global privileges, but give it complete control over a specific database. That allows the account to create the database and tables in it, select from the tables, and add new records, delete them, or update them.
The privileges that MySQL supports are shown in the following lists. The first names the administrative privileges and the second names the database-access privileges.
Administrative Privileges:
Operations Allowed by Privilege
Use TEMPORARY with CREATE TABLE
Use statements that read and write files on the server host
Grant privileges to other accounts
Explicitly lock tables with LOCK TABLES
View process (thread) activity
Use FLUSH and RESET
Ask server for information about replication hosts
Act as a replication slave
See all databases with SHOW DATABASES
Shut down the server
Miscellaneous administrative operations
Database-Access Privileges:
Operations Allowed by Privilege
Modify tables with ALTER TABLE
Create databases and tables
Remove rows from tables
Drop databases and tables
Create and drop indexes
Add rows to tables
Select records from tables
Modify records in tables
Some privileges not shown in these lists can be assigned to accounts but currently are unused. EXECUTE is reserved for future versions of MySQL, when stored procedures are implemented. REFERENCES may be implemented in relation to foreign key support at some point.
There are also some special privilege specifiers:
ALL and ALL PRIVILEGES are shorthand for all privileges except GRANT OPTION. They're shorthand for granting all privileges except the ability to give privileges to other accounts.
USAGE means no privileges other than being allowed to connect to the server. A record is created for the account in the user table. This causes the account to exist, and it can then be used to access the server for limited purposes such as issuing SHOW VARIABLES or SHOW STATUS statements. The account cannot be used to access databases or tables (although you could grant such privileges to the account at a later time).
Privileges can exist at different levels:
Any privilege can be granted globally. An account that possesses a global privilege can exercise it at any time. Global privileges are therefore quite powerful and are normally granted only to administrative accounts. For example, a global DELETE privilege allows the account to remove records from any table in any database.
Some privileges can be granted for specific databases: ALTER, CREATE, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, DELETE, DROP, GRANT OPTION, INDEX, INSERT, LOCK TABLES, SELECT, and UPDATE. A database-specific privilege applies to all tables in the database.
Some privileges can be granted for specific tables: ALTER, CREATE, DELETE, DROP, GRANT OPTION, INDEX, INSERT, SELECT, and UPDATE. A table-specific privilege applies to all columns in the table.
Some privileges can be granted for specific table columns: INSERT, SELECT, and UPDATE.
{mospagebreak title=12.2.2 The Grant Tables}
Four grant tables in the mysql database contain most of the access control information used by the server. They contain information to indicate what the legal accounts are and the privileges held at each access level by each account:
The user table contains a record for each account known to the server. The user record for an account lists its global privileges. It also indicates other information about the account, such as any resource limits it's subject to, and whether client connections that use the account must be made over a secure connection using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Use of SSL connections is not covered on the Professional Exam.
The db table lists database-specific privileges for accounts.
The tables_priv table lists table-specific privileges for accounts.
The columns_priv table lists column-specific privileges for accounts.
Every account must have a user table record because the server uses that table's contents when determining whether to accept or reject client connection attempts. An account also will have records in the other grant tables if it has privileges at other than the global level.
Each grant table has columns that identify which accounts its records apply to:
The server decides whether a client can connect based on the Host, User, and Password columns of the user table. An account is defined by a hostname and username, so for a client to be able to connect, some record in the user table must match the host from which the client connects and the username given by the client. In addition, the client must provide the password listed in the matching record.
After a client connects, the server determines its access privileges based on the Host and User columns of the user, db, tables_priv, and columns_priv tables. Any privileges enabled in the matching user table record may be used globally by the client. The privileges in the matching records of the other grant tables apply in more limited contexts. For example, privileges in a db table record apply to the database named in the record, but not to other databases.
Use of the grant tables for controlling what clients can do is discussed further in section 12.3, "Client Access Control."
There is also a fifth grant table named host that exists for historical reasons. It is not affected by the GRANT and REVOKE statements, so it's discussed no further here. For more information about the host table, see the MySQL Reference Manual.
The grant tables are stored as MyISAM tables. The MyISAM storage engine is always guaranteed to be enabled, which is not true for storage engines such as InnoDB and BDB.
As already mentioned, the server uses the information in the grant tables to determine whether to allow clients to connect, and to determine for every statement that a connected client issues whether the client has sufficient privileges to execute it. However, the server does not actually access the on-disk grant tables each time it needs to verify client access because that would result in a great deal of overhead. Instead, the server reads the grant tables into memory during its startup sequence and uses the in-memory copies to check client access.
The server refreshes its in-memory copies of the grant tables under the following conditions:
You modify a user account in the on-disk tables by issuing a GRANT, REVOKE, or SET PASSWORD statement.
You tell the server to reload the tables explicitly by issuing a FLUSH PRIVILEGES statement or by executing a mysqladmin flush-privileges or mysqladmin reload command.
{mospagebreak title=12.2.3 Granting and Revoking Privileges}
It's possible to manage MySQL accounts by modifying the grant tables directly with SQL statements such as INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE. The procedure described in section 12.1.2, "Securing the Initial MySQL Accounts," is an example of how UPDATE and DELETE can be used in this way. In general, however, the recommended way to set up and modify MySQL accounts is to use the GRANT and REVOKE statements because they offer these advantages:
It's easier to use GRANT and REVOKE than to modify the grant tables directly. The syntax of GRANT and REVOKE is more natural and less cumbersome for expressing privilege operations because that's what it's designed for. When you use GRANT and REVOKE, the server determines the necessary modifications to the grant tables and makes the changes for you.
With GRANT and REVOKE, the server automatically reloads the in-memory contents of the grant tables. If you modify the tables directly, you must explicitly tell the server to reload the tables by using a FLUSH PRIVILEGES statement or a mysqladmin flush- privileges command.
In addition to GRANT and REVOKE, the SET PASSWORD statement is useful when all you want to do is change an account's password. SET PASSWORD causes the server to automatically refresh its in-memory grant tables when you use it.
Despite the advantages of GRANT and REVOKE, it is occasionally necessary to manipulate the grant tables directly. The principal reason for this is that REVOKE does not remove records from the user table. You can use REVOKE to disable the global privileges recorded in that table, but it leaves the record in the table in case you want to assign different privileges later. If you want to eliminate all traces of an account from the grant tables, you must also use DELETE to remove its user table record.
184.108.40.206 The GRANT Statement
The syntax for the GRANT statement includes several sections. In simplest form, you specify the following:
The privileges to be granted
How broadly the privileges apply
The account that should be given the privileges
A password
As an example, the following statement grants the SELECT privilege for all tables in the world database to a user named jim, who must connect from the local host and use a password of Abc123:
GRANT SELECT ON world.* TO 'jim'@'localhost'
IDENTIFIED BY 'Abc123';
The parts of the statement have the following effects:
The statement begins with the GRANT keyword and one or more privilege names indicating which privileges are to be granted. Privilege names are not case sensitive. To list multiple privileges, separate them by commas. For example, if you want jim to be able to manipulate records in the world database, not just retrieve them, write the GRANT statement like this:
world.* TO 'jim'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Abc123';
The ON clause specifies the level of the granted privileges (how broadly they apply). You can grant privileges globally, for a specific database, or for a specific table. The ON syntax for these levels is as follows:
ON *.* ON db_name.* ON db_name.table_name
For the formats that begin with db_name., it's allowable to omit the database name qualifier and specify just * or table_name. In these cases, the privileges are granted to all tables in the current database or to the named table in the current database. Be sure that you know what the current database is, to avoid granting privileges to tables in the incorrect database.
To grant privileges at a column-specific level, use an ON clause that names a particular table, and specify a comma-separated list of column names within parentheses after each privilege to be granted. The following statement indicates that the named account can retrieve three of the columns in the City table of the world database, but can update only two of them:
GRANT SELECT (ID, Name, CountryCode), UPDATE
(Name, CountryCode) ON world.City TO 'jim'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Abc123';
The TO clause specifies the account to be granted the privileges. An account name consists of a username and the name of the client host from which the user must connect to the server. The account name is given in 'user_name'@'host_name' format. More detail on this format is given later, but note that the user and host parts of account names should be quoted separately. Quotes actually are necessary only for values that contain special characters such as dashes. If a value is legal as an unquoted identifier, the quotes are optional. However, quotes are always acceptable and examples shown here use them.
Because an account name includes a hostname part, it's possible to set up separate accounts for different users who have the same username but connect from different hosts.
The IDENTIFIED BY clause is optional. If present, it assigns a password to the account. If the account already exists and IDENTIFIED BY is given, the password replaces any old one. If the account exists but IDENTIFIED BY is omitted from the GRANT statement, the account's current password remains unchanged. If an account has no password, clients can use it to connect to the server without a password!
To specify an anonymous-user account (that is, an account that matches any username), specify an empty string for the user part of the account name:
GRANT SELECT ON world.* TO ''@'localhost';
The host part of an account name may be given in any of the following formats:
The name localhost.
A hostname, such as myhost.example.com.
An IP number, such as 192.168.1.47.
A pattern containing the % or _ wildcard characters. Patterns are useful for setting up an account that allows a client to connect from any host in an entire domain or subnet. A host value of %.example.com matches any host in the example.com domain. A host value of 192.168.% matches any host in the 192.168 subnet. A host value of % matches any host, allowing the client to connect from anywhere.
An IP number/netmask combination. The value allows a client to connect from any host with an address that matches the IP number for all bits that are 1 in the netmask. For example, a value of 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 matches any host with 10.0.0 in the first 24 bits of its IP number. This format is useful for allowing an account with a given username to connect from any host in a subnet.
It's allowable to omit the host part of an account name in the GRANT statement. An account name specified as 'user_name' is equivalent to 'user_name'@'%'.
Keep the proper perspective in mind when specifying the host part of an account name in GRANT statements. When you connect to the server using a client program, you specify the host to which you want to connect. On the other hand, when the server checks the client against Host column values in the grant tables, it uses the host from which the client connects. When setting up an account with GRANT, you should specify the client host from the server's point of view. For example, if the server runs on server.example.com and you want to allow jim to connect from client.example.com, the GRANT statement should look like this:
GRANT ... TO 'jim'@'client.example.com' ... ;
Be aware that it is possible to have multiple accounts that could apply to a given client. For example, if you set up accounts for 'jim'@'localhost' and 'jim'@'%', the server could use either one when jim connects from the local host. The rules that the server employs to determine which account to use in such cases are covered in section 12.3, "Client Access Control."
If you want to give an account the capability to grant its privileges to other accounts, add a WITH GRANT OPTION clause to the statement. For example, if you want jim to have read access to the world database and to be able to create other users that have read access to that database, use this statement:
GRANT SELECT ON world.* TO 'jim'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Abc123' WITH GRANT OPTION;
To find out what privileges a particular account has, use the SHOW GRANTS statement. It displays the GRANT statements that would be required to set up the account. The account name for this statement has the same 'user_name'@'host_name' format as that used with GRANT. You can always see your own privileges with SHOW GRANTS. You cannot see the privileges for other accounts unless you have the SELECT privilege for the mysql database.
Suppose that you've set up an account for a user jen who connects from the host myhost.example.com. To see this account's privileges, use the following statement:
mysql> SHOW GRANTS FOR 'jen'@'myhost.example.com'; +-------------------------------------------------+ | Grants for firstname.lastname@example.com | +-------------------------------------------------+ | GRANT FILE ON *.* TO 'jen'@'myhost.example.com' | | GRANT SELECT ON ´mydb´.* TO |
| 'jen'@'myhost.example.com' |
| GRANT UPDATE ON ´test´.´mytable´ TO |
| 'jen'@'myhost.example.com' |
The output displayed here by SHOW GRANTS consists of three GRANT statements. Their ON clauses indicate that jen has privileges at the global, database, and table levels, respectively.
If the account has a password, SHOW GRANTS displays an IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD clause at the end of the GRANT statement that lists the account's global privileges. (The word PASSWORD after IDENTIFIED BY indicates that the password value shown is the encrypted value stored in the user table, not the actual password.) If the account can grant some or all of its privileges to other accounts, SHOW GRANTS displays WITH GRANT OPTION at the end of each GRANT statement to which it applies.
SHOW GRANTS displays privileges only for the exact account specified in the statement. For example, the preceding SHOW GRANTS statement shows privileges only for 'jen'@'myhost.example.com', not for 'jen'@'%.example.com', 'jen'@'%.com', or 'jen'@'%'.
{mospagebreak title=126.96.36.199 The REVOKE Statement}
Use the REVOKE statement to revoke privileges from an account. Its syntax has the following sections:
The keyword REVOKE followed by the list of privileges to be revoked
An ON clause indicating the level at which privileges are to be revoked
A FROM clause that specifies the account name
Suppose that jim on the local host has SELECT, DELETE, INSERT, and UPDATE privileges on the world database, but you want to change the account so that he has SELECT access only. To do this, revoke those privileges that allow him to make changes:
REVOKE DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE ON world.* FROM
To revoke the GRANT OPTION privilege from an account that has it, you must revoke it in a separate statement. For example, if jill has the ability to grant her privileges for the world database to other users, you can revoke that ability as follows:
REVOKE GRANT OPTION ON world.* FROM
If you use REVOKE to remove all the privileges enabled by a record in the db, tables_priv, or columns_priv tables, REVOKE removes the record entirely. However, REVOKE does not remove an account's user table record, even if you revoke all privileges for the account. It's necessary to use DELETE to remove a user record. A later example demonstrates this.
To determine what REVOKE statements are needed to revoke an account's privileges, SHOW GRANTS might be helpful. Consider again the output from SHOW GRANTS for the jen@localhost account:
mysql> SHOW GRANTS FOR 'jen'@'myhost.example.com'; +-------------------------------------------------+ | Grants for email@example.com | +-------------------------------------------------+ | GRANT FILE ON *.* TO 'jen'@'myhost.example.com' | | GRANT SELECT ON ´mydb´.* TO |
| 'jen'@'myhost.example.com' | | GRANT UPDATE ON ´test´.´mytable´ TO |
| 'jen'@'myhost.example.com' | +-------------------------------------------------+
This output indicates that the account has global, database-level, and table-level privileges. To remove these privileges, convert those GRANT statements to the following corresponding REVOKE statements. The privilege names, privilege levels, and account name must be the same as displayed by SHOW GRANTS:
mysql> REVOKE FILE ON *.* FROM
'jen'@'myhost.example.com'; mysql> REVOKE SELECT ON mydb.* FROM
'jen'@'myhost.example.com'; mysql> REVOKE UPDATE ON test.mytable FROM
After issuing the REVOKE statements, SHOW GRANTS produces this result:
mysql> SHOW GRANTS FOR 'jen'@'myhost.example.com'; +-------------------------------------------------+ | email@example.com; | +-------------------------------------------------+ | Grants for firstname.lastname@example.com | +-------------------------------------------------+ | GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'jen'@'myhost.example.com'| +-------------------------------------------------+
This means that the account no longer has any privileges, although it does still exist and thus can be used to connect to the server. (In other words, the user table still contains a record for the account, but all the global privileges listed in the record are disabled.) To remove the last trace of the account, use a DELETE statement to remove the user table record, and then tell the server to reload the grant tables:
mysql> USE mysql; mysql> DELETE FROM user WHERE User = 'jen'
AND Host = 'myhost.example.com'; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
After that, the account no longer exists and cannot be used to connect to the server.
188.8.131.52 When Privilege Changes Take Effect
The effects of changes to the grant tables apply to existing client connections as follows:
Table and column privilege changes apply to all statements issued after the changes are made.
Database privilege changes apply with the next USE statement.
Changes to global privileges and passwords do not apply to connected clients. They apply the next time a client attempts to connect.
{mospagebreak title=12.2.4 Changing Account Passwords}
As discussed earlier, you can specify a password for an account by including an IDENTIFIED BY clause in a GRANT statement. If the account is new, the clause assigns its initial password. If the account already exists, the clause changes its password.
To change an existing account's password without changing any of its privileges, you have two options:
Use the SET PASSWORD statement, specifying the account name and the new password. For example, to set the password for jim on the local host to NewPass, use this statement:
SET PASSWORD FOR 'jim'@'localhost' =
Any nonanonymous client can change its own password by omitting the FOR clause:
SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('NewPass');
Use GRANT with the USAGE privilege specifier at the global level and an IDENTIFIED BY clause:
GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'jim'@'localhost'
IDENTIFIED BY 'NewPass';
USAGE means no privileges, so the statement changes the password without granting any privileges.
Note that with SET PASSWORD, you use PASSWORD() to encrypt the password, whereas with GRANT, you do not use it.
To allow a user to connect without specifying a password, change the password to the empty string. However, you cannot revoke the password this way with REVOKE. Instead, use either of the following statements:
SET PASSWORD FOR 'jim'@'localhost' = ''; GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'jim'@'localhost'
Be certain that you want to do this, however. It isn't a good idea to have accounts without passwords.
{mospagebreak title=12.2.5 Specifying Resource Limits}
By default, there is no limit on the number of times that a client can connect to the server or the number of queries it can issue. If that is not suitable, GRANT can establish limits on an account's resource consumption for the following characteristics:
The number of times per hour the account is allowed to connect to the server
The number of queries per hour the account is allowed to issue
The number of updates per hour the account is allowed to issue
Each of these resource limits is specified using an option in a WITH clause. The following example creates an account that can use the test database, but can connect to the server a maximum of only 10 times per hour. The account can issue 50 queries per hour, and at most 20 of those queries can modify data:
GRANT ALL ON test.* TO 'quinn'@'localhost'
IDENTIFIED BY 'SomePass' WITH MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 10 MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 50 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 20;
The order in which you name the options in the WITH clause doesn't matter.

A lot of things about the Sterling boys soccer team will be new in 2013.
There's a new head coach. There's a new core of players. There will be a new style of play.
One thing that won't change, if all goes well: The Golden Warriors will still be racking up victories.
Sterling did just that in 2012. It was the top seed in the Rochelle Regional, which was supposed to be a mere speed bump on the way to a long postseason run.
Instead, the Hubs pulled off a huge upset on their home field, winning 2-1 and ending the Warriors' season with a 19-3 record. It was a bitter pill to swallow, and ended the careers of a decorated senior class that included Pedro Ocampo, Salomon Ocampo, Bryan Gutierrez, Alfredo Lopez, Danny Navarro and Gabriel Capilla.
That result is still in the minds of returning players, according to first-year head coach Brian Cebula.
"They're hungry from what happened last year," Cebula said. "A lot of those guys left, but these guys still have the sour taste in their mouths. They're doing well. We've changed some things around as far as how we run practices, and they're all buying in."
Cebula is a familiar face to Sterling soccer. He's been the varsity girls coach for four seasons, and he's also been a boys assistant for that same time period. When Chris Interone resigned as head boys coach to pursue a career opportunity this past summer, Cebula took over.
He's in the process of putting his own stamp on the program. The biggest change will be in the team's style of play. Last year's squad was a goal-scoring machine, but it was the graduated seniors who did the bulk of the damage.
A wide-open attack will be replaced with something more conservative.
"We will have to focus on defense," Cebula said, "because we won't be able to get a lot of those games where we can score eight goals, and it doesn't matter if we let in four. We're going to be coming around a few goals, and we need to make sure we minimize what the other team can do offensively. Defense will be a huge focus."
Last year's goalie, senior Jorge Garcia, will take over a defensive position. The new goalie is Jared Fernandez, a first-year junior who hails from Mexico.
"He could end up being one of those key pieces that we need defensively," Cebula said. "We don't want to rely too heavily on him, but it's always nice to have somebody you can rely on in the back."
Carlos Gallardo, a senior midfielder who scored 12 goals last season, doesn't think the Warriors will have much of a dropoff this season, despite the talent that was lost to graduation.
"A lot of our players are improving every day, I can tell," Gallardo said. "If we keep up the hard work, we'll be as good as the players that left us."
Cebula will use the early portion of the schedule as an experimentation period, mixing and matching players in different positions and schemes to see what works best. Winning and losing will take a backseat to finding a player rotation and style of play that fits when the meat of the schedule rolls around.
"It's nice that we get to play a bunch of non-conference games right at the beginning and get a tournament in," Cebula said. "That way I can try all kinds of different stuff. The goal is by the time we begin conference play, we've got the machine rolling."

Neal Contrasts 60s' Leaders to Todayby Gary James '10 • February 19, 2010 Share:
How do Malcolm X, Facebook, and Muhammad Ali relate to each other?
Before the 21st century, the question would have been difficult to answer. But with the rise of social networking, Mark Anthony Neal, Professor of Black Popular Culture at Duke University, has been able to revisit the history of black social and political figures like Malcolm X, Sam Cooke, Muhammad Ali, and Jim Brown within the context of modern-day possibilities for communication.
Neal has been on campus since Wednesday as the College's Owen Duston Visiting Minority Scholar. He has visited nearly half a dozen classes, and faculty, staff, and students have been holding weekly round table discussions of Neal's book New Black Man in preparation for his visit. He delivered the annual Malcolm X Institute Lecture Thursday on the friendships among different civil rights leaders in the mid-20th century and how those friendships could form and mean today.
Neal told the story of how four men were brought together by their mutual relationships with Muhammad Ali and divided by the vicissitudes of life and politics in the 1960s.
Malcolm X was a social theorist political activist representing a fringe element of the civil rights movement.
Sam Cooke was an R&B singer and entrepreneur.
Jim Brown was a professional football player and actor, perhaps best known for the records he set as running back for the Cleveland Browns back in the 1950s and 1960s.
And Cassius Clay, who later changed his name to Muhammad Ali, was a famous – or infamous – boxer known for saying whatever came to his mind.
Neal panned the unique bond of this "quartet," how it developed and what possibilities could have arisen out of their continued friendship.
"One reason we'll never know how this friendship developed is because three weeks [after they all spent time together in Miami] Malcolm X leaves the Nation of Islam," Neal said. "A day [later] Muhammad Ali announces to the world that he's no longer Cassius Clay…and is instructed to sever all ties with Malcolm X. I often wonder what might have happened to that relationship if, in the face of all this public stuff, Ali and Malcolm X could have texted each other, if they had had Twitter or Tyspace or Facebook or a way to communicate outside of the public."
Neal used the example to explore what he calls the "intimacies of everyday life" about which most people are unaware. He challenged the audience to question what goes on behind the scenes among well-known figures today.
"What might that gang of four look like in 2010?," Neal asked. "Do we know what kind of conversations Jay-Z and LeBron James and Will Smith might be having in their texts that they may not articulate in public forums?"
One example he used was financial relationship between Will and Jada Smith and Jay-Z, who tend to invest in the similar enterprises like plays and start-up businesses.
"We have a kind of nostalgia for that [60s] generation of men and so we think this generation of men and women could never be as influential as a Malcolm X or Muhammad Ali or Sam Cooke or Jim Brown. But I say go back to how many in this country thought about Muhammad Ali in 1961 and 1962."
Neal also took questions from the audience on contemporary figures like Kanya West and what they mean within the context he had constructed, but, as the conversation was winding down, he asked audience members to think about how figures like Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, and others are comparatively silent on national political issues in public, but what social networking may allow them that it could not offer those who came before them.

Nebraska's state highway system is ranked 6th in the nation in overall highway performance and efficiency in the latest Annual Highway Report by Reason Foundation, down one spot from its 5th in the previous report.
Iowa's state highway system is ranked 33rd in the nation in overall highway performance and efficiency in the latest Annual Highway Report by Reason Foundation, a decline from 30th and 31st in the previous two reports
Nebraska's state highway system is ranked 6th in the nation in overall highway performance and efficiency in the latest Annual Highway Report by Reason Foundation, down one spot from its 5th in the previous report. Nebraska ranks 1st in rural interstate pavement condition, 23rd in fatality rate, 27th in deficient bridges, 27th in urban interstate pavement in poor condition, and 18th in urban interstate congestion. Nebraska achieved this performance while spending less than half the national average per highway mile. Its administrative costs per mile are 5th lowest and total disbursements per mile are 9th lowest.
Iowa's state highway system is ranked 33rd in the nation in overall highway performance and efficiency in the latest Annual Highway Report by Reason Foundation, a decline from 30th and 31st in the previous two reports. Iowa ranks 19th in urban interstate congestion, 26th in fatality rate, 34th in deficient bridges, 37th in urban interstate pavement in poor condition and 38th in rural interstate pavement in poor condition. With 9,515 miles under the state highway control, it is the 31st largest system. Iowa's total disbursements are 23 percent below the national per-mile average, ranking 17th.
Nation's Road Conditions Show Slight Improvement; North Dakota, Kansas and Wyoming Have the Best, Most Cost-Effective Highway Systems
Alaska, Rhode Island, Hawaii and California have the worst highway systems in study of pavement condition, congestion, deficient bridges, fatalities and cost-effectiveness
Los Angeles (July 2, 2013) - As Americans hit the road for the Fourth of July holiday, they'll be driving on slightly smoother roads, crossing fewer deficient bridges and spending less time stuck in traffic jams according to Reason Foundation's Annual Highway Report.
Reason Foundation's Annual Highway Report measures the condition and cost-effectiveness of state-owned roads in 11 categories, including pavement condition on urban and rural Interstates, urban traffic congestion, deficient bridges, unsafe narrow lanes, traffic fatalities, total spending per mile of state roads and administrative costs per mile. The study's rankings are based on data that states reported to the federal government for 2009, the most recent year with full spending statistics available.
Nationwide there was small progress in every category except for pavement condition on rural arterial roads. These improvements were achieved at a time when per-mile expenditures dropped slightly. Despite receiving stimulus funding from the federal government in 2009, spending on state roads decreased slightly, by 0.6%, in 2009 compared to 2008.
"It's hard to believe it when you hit a pothole or see a bridge in Washington collapse, but the nation's roads are getting better," said David Hartgen, author of the study and emeritus transportation professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. "There are still several states struggling and plenty of problem areas. But you make the case that overall America's roads and bridges have never been in better shape."
Among the states plagued with problems are New Jersey and California. New Jersey spends $1.2 million per mile on its state-controlled roads. That's nearly twice as much as the $679,000 per mile that the next biggest spending state-California-spends. North Carolina, home to the nation's largest state highway system, spends $44,000 per mile on its roads. South Carolina spends just $31,000, the lowest per mile rate in the nation, according to a Reason Foundation study of all 50 state-controlled road systems.
Drivers in California and New Jersey may be wondering what they are getting in return for that money. More than 16 percent of urban Interstate pavement in each of those states is in poor condition. Only Hawaii ranks worse, with 27 percent of its urban Interstate pavement rated as poor.
Not only are California's Interstates full of potholes, they are also jammed-80 percent of the state's urban Interstates are congested. Minnesota has the next highest percentage of gridlocked Interstates, with 78 percent of urban Interstates deemed congested.
In terms of overall road conditions and cost-effectiveness, North Dakota has the country's top ranked state-controlled road system, followed by Kansas (2nd), Wyoming (3rd), New Mexico (4th) and Montana (5th), according to Reason Foundation's Annual Highway Report.
Alaska's state-controlled road system is the lowest quality and least cost-effective in the nation. Rhode Island (49th), Hawaii (48th), California (47th), New Jersey (46th) and New York (45th) also perform poorly.
Vermont's roads showed the most improvement in the nation, improving from 42nd in the previous report to 28th in the new overall rankings. New Hampshire (27th) and Washington (24th) both improved nine spots in the rankings.
Minnesota system plummeted 17 spots in the rankings, from 25th to 42nd and Delaware dropped nine spots to 20th.
Massachusetts had the lowest traffic fatality rate, while Montana had the highest.

Just a little knitting in the Tiergarten. Monday was a holiday and after a busy/ stressful/ tiring couple of weeks, I took the day off. It was lovely: a leisurely breakfast, plenty of warm weather, a nice rambley walk to a different part of town. Then I sat down, enjoyed my picnic, rested my feet, and did a bit of knitting in the sunshine.
As you can see, progress has been limited. These stripes now seem never ending, they just go on and on and one more turn … then maybe you get to the end. Maybe. But I'm enjoying the relaxed pace and the constant stripey companionship.
I did not, however, take stripes unlimited to meet the my amazing adviser in her equally amazing apartment (books! everywhere!). Instead, we discussed the archives and ate some ice cream. She has the capacity to make me feel like I'm doing good work and anything is possible, even a dissertation. I want to be like her when I grow up.
To that end, today the Never-Ending Stripe and I, we're off to the Kunstbibliothek to look through some more old issues issues of bonkers lace-and-embroidery magazines. Absolutely bonkers. Articles on the "Psychology of Lace and Embroidery", weirdo devotion to pillow cushions and tablecloths, crazy fold-out patterns of flowers and art-deco foliage that I'm going to try to copy … it's really pretty delightful.
Also, there was a terrifying piece of lace featuring an evil clown. It won 4th place (or possibly better, I don't remember …) in some kind of contest. Terrifying.
So, in the spirit of project spectrum I'll end not with evil clowns, but with more green: a peaceful corner of the Tiergarten on Pfingstmontag. Why did it take me this long to visit Berlin again?

Parents preparing to make Junior his first peanut-butter sandwich can be forgiven if they're feeling a little spooked.
Parents preparing to make Junior his first peanut-butter sandwich can be forgiven if they�re feeling a little spooked.
Peanut allergies are being diagnosed more often in American children and can be life-threatening.
Furthermore, there�s no current consensus on what parents can or should do to lower the odds that their child will suffer an allergy to peanuts or to other foods.
�What I tell parents is just do what your pediatrician recommends. Formula or breast feed as long as you can and then introduce normal solid foods at the normal time,� said Dr. Philip Rancitelli of Midwest Allergy.
Doctors used to recommend withholding potentially allergenic foods until children were older, but that hasn�t been shown to help, he said.
�It might actually be better to introduce allergenic foods at an earlier age,� he said.
In Israel, where babies commonly eat a peanut-butter snack called Bamba, allergies are much less common.
A current study in England aims to determine if early introduction of peanut proteins helps the immune system and can reduce rates of peanut allergies.
Until there�s better guidance, doctors say parents shouldn�t abide by old advice to hold off on introduction.
And they should understand that 90 to 95?percent of children don�t have any food allergies, said Dr. Roger Friedman, an allergist at Nationwide Children�s Hospital.
Reasonable measures, such as introducing one new food at a time, make sense, he said. Other common allergens include cow�s milk, eggs, soy and shellfish.
Most allergy deaths are the result of peanut or tree nut allergies.
He also said it�s probably a good idea to make sure you�re with your child when he or she tries a potentially allergenic food for the first time.
In families where there are known food allergies, some testing might be appropriate, Friedman said. That said, allergy tests aren�t always accurate.
Jane Abel of New Albany said she thought nothing of it when she sent a peanut-butter sandwich to the sitter�s house with her then 2-year-old daughter Ellie.
Neither Abel nor anyone in her family had had a problem with peanuts; she ate peanut butter all the time through her pregnancy and around the baby.
The sitter called Abel at work to tell her Ellie was vomiting and gasping for breath.
�I know now that she was starting to go into anaphylaxis,� Abel said.
Ellie�s allergy is severe; people with strong reactions to allergens, including foods, can go into anaphylactic shock and die.
Ellie survived the scare, and the family now maintains a peanut-free home. Everywhere they go, they carry an EpiPen, an injectable dose of epinephrine to counteract an allergic reaction.
With Ellie�s brother, 6-month-old Robbie, the Abels will seek allergy testing and be cautious about introducing new foods.
Robbie won�t have peanut butter the first time without being in the doctor�s office, Mrs. Abel said.
One in five children with a peanut allergy grows out of it; Ellie, who is 4 now, will be tested again when she�s 5.
As researchers continue to try to unlock the mysteries behind food allergies and what parents might be able to do to reduce the chances their child will develop them, there�s some good news.
Both Friedman and Rancitelli are excited about the prospect of medication to treat food allergies. They said something might be available in the next five years.
For the moment, avoidance is the best medicine, but it�s one that carries risks and creates challenges for children and their families, especially when the child is away from home.
Parents in general �shouldn�t go overboard worrying about food allergies,� Friedman said.
Those who do have allergies, �can have a completely good, normal life,� he said.
Many people erroneously think they have an allergy and avoid foods unnecessarily, he said.
For more information, visit the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network at www.foodallergy.org.
Major food allergens
Federal law identifies the eight most-common allergenic foods, but more than 160 foods can cause allergic reactions in people with food allergies. The eight account for 90 percent of food allergic reactions, are the sources from which many food ingredients are derived and must be disclosed on product labels:
1. Milk
2. Eggs
3. Fish (bass, flounder, cod)
4. Crustacean shellfish (crab, lobster, shrimp)
5. Tree nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
6. Peanuts
7. Wheat
8. Soybeans
Know the Symptoms
Symptoms of food allergies typically appear from within a few minutes to two hours after a person has eaten. Allergic reactions can include:
� Hives
� Flushed skin or rash
� Tingling or itchy sensation in the mouth
� Face, tongue or lip swelling
� Vomiting and/or diarrhea
� Abdominal cramps
� Coughing or wheezing
� Dizziness and/or lightheadedness
� Swelling of the throat and vocal cords
� Difficulty breathing
