These we have a different voice in here sometimes a couple of times a week shore with the same co host the rotating in co host your show. It's never the same voice it's always fresh. You know there's good and bad that comes from that apparently were rotating a certain other host on Friday oh really discriminate on Friday. I thought you're not going to be here while not going to be here on Friday Sawyer I I know it when that happens by the way this might be bad I just check out so like you guys are on your own man and I got my arm off.

That's pretty you know this is good writing it's thought provoking why aren't you watching the NFL yet but you know what my biggest takeaway was I can and they're good people who been screaming about this for a little while now this rating Steffi doesn't matter. He does not matter half and that's the big take away I think for me this meet is pieces sure the ratings are bad. Or better compared to what they work. There's a better and everything else right. And it's inconsequential and sort talked demeanor about that it will go around the NFL with Carol hi some Falwell do that a fourth dirty if you miss Kemba Walker yesterday as we get ready for Warner it's a magic tonight at 7 o'clock you'll hear that coming up. And 550 but in all seriousness one of the fun things we do around here. If we get a different voice in your so what's great about Kyle and frank and why they've become such a dynamic duo if you will come. Dirty old married couple already think things together for like a like six months and are already the old married couple. Because frank has finally found the perfect partner in life on this Valentine's Day you'll argue with him about everything. About what did you Ford or not what's that smell it. Well why are you so annoying they argue about everything right it's franks perfect. Work life he's been looking forever we finally found one Kyle dailies the guy. But the thing about what we do is. It's always trash we could talk with the same 45 topics every day but we get a different guy in here with a different perspective outside and he. And don't challenge me in a different way or ridden in a different way and Omar Gaither who was with some Monday returns today he'll join us at three. And I love this dynamic because a lot of these guys are former players. Lot of these guys like guarantee a former sportswriter still is a sports writer the blogger now.

He gets very competitive when it comes in here stars when you talk McChrystal McCaffery well it's beyond like the topics and did serious like he can't quit I can't wait till cursory staffer gets put my hall fame because I want Omar to do the induction so laurel see how that one works I know he's like Omar takes a coaching really well. He wants to go back watch the taper listen to the tape what did I do wrong that was that was a good radio what can I do better how can I treat he's listening right now I know he's listening as he's driving and that's Omar he's nodding his head he's throwing nodding his head right now is trucker in his car as he drives in. And did cool cool dynamic about this is you know who else is like that. Damione Lewis. In Damian came in here yesterday gases come back on trying to Damien then OK Dana crushed it yesterday for three hours did he not like he came in here. And was a ball of energy knowledgeable opinionated. Have been fine. I mean we had a great time yesterday and so ITI Omar I know you're listening right now I know you're listening you'll do what is it about fifteen minutes the abortion sat on end. Willis came in your third down yesterday and so I wanna see what Omar Skinner do. I wanna see Omar. Can raise the bar again over Damione Lewis do we have that special dynamic in years so Omar is gonna join us coming up at 3 o'clock I I asked do make a full admission. I've had a I've had a bit of a challenging time getting into these Winter Olympics and I genuinely. I'm one of these people you want these people who. Gold is and can you get into Olympic mode and the Olympics come around and you know nothing about 95% of these events doesn't. Always trying to act like we're immature analysts all of a sudden everybody is an expert. Everybody's an expert or not he's already feel like I'm not even gonna take that noble we all like and we know what we do is this we watched the coverage right we watch it at night in prime time most not most of the time. And then. The next day you talk about with all your friends and your coworkers and you start Reagor containing all the analysis that the guy has included the word for word yet if any did you see that built the triple Axel. Did you see the list. The power that was a classic a lot no joke of watching figure skating in bed last night at like 11 o'clock and make a tear in this these two are so. Freaking. Good Tara Lipinski and die in Johnny Weir. Even really look like they're doing a Hunger Games to win those antidote to those that do all right there is analyst they are so. Good. At speaking to you this and we talk about this all the time what do you love and an analyst I love somebody that makes me feel every bit as excited. About the things that they're watching and liking that that they are. If they can they can somehow transfer the energy they have to make the passion toward Tony romo's got that quality about. Can also breakdown what you're watching and what you're seeing away where I'll listen and feel smarter now I understand the sport Terrell Penske Johnny Weir did that Tony Romo does that. I like the analysis in sports where guys are shaming them and sing guys are mean people. Where people are. Evaluating the performance. Anybody can do that I could do that from my caps not the bonafide you do OK but even I can look at and say man you probably should've made that role. Could you explain to me what he was thinking. Can you explain to me why he might have made that thrower made that play that's analysis to me. Not everybody can do that and I'm not hitting Kenny you Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski last night had me watching that does the lists. And the rose on these ice skaters last night work you could see the full extension and the power you know look at me and only using the word I'm using the vocabulary here but the power of the grace that with those which there was ice skaters Rolen was last night I was all in on ice skating like I it's been out it's been tough because college basketball's really good right now. We're watching and what else we're watching the Westminster dog show delegates tweeting nonstop about the dog show last night he's also taking pictures of mr. dean every day compared to no look at did you get the EP NBA last night you had cabs in order which was uninteresting game could you keep trying to watch with the cavs can beat and they wanna get last night on the road that's a good win for Cleveland got to go with all these guys do it's I it's been hard for me to be all lean on the Winter Olympics. But last night are you not telling me that the reason why you're not on the show on Friday is that you're going to be going ice skating on on trying to you know exciting Friday when I'm doing his own legacy blacks to get there by myself likening the movie theater at 12 o'clock and just go watch that on myself but say it. Not to see you working on anonymous on what you're doing a Michael Felder and like going to the movies by yourself yet another excellent doers and Alec and examiner column writing is the same thing Matt Munro reading and building center text line 704 dot seven L 960 and he says Shaun White was still last night how. Awesome was that. How awesome was that last night to watch Shaun White in tears just sheer emotion and on bridal enthusiasm shoulder white grown man she'll light I think he's what 32 now 31 or 3231. Same age as me I feel so wanna accomplish now compared to show on why he's not there's really less sunlight you know he's doing all the stuff at the Winter Olympics history solace from Sadie you San Diego California but they have mountains in northern California. He's like skating deliberate it's like. Like I didn't know like a comparison for that how cool is that bill and it was so funny is you view these and they were like the side by side of him back in Torino Italy. Back which would then watch 2000 into his debut in the Olympics is 98 I think was not no bench arena was 2000 tool. And fought the original Flying Tomato days. We had that long flowing red hair. And he looked like surf he looked like surfer girl from San Diego California and then he seemed today niece is a little bit more really lucky little look like Carrot Top as an athlete he looks like an adult now though is a little bit more clean cup and how awesome last night was distances to watch him throw down. And he knew the minute he got out of but he got to the bottom of that half pipe. He was like I did that. Now he's just waiting he'd said less things I don't look at the judges I don't wanna make eye contact. But it happened and then all the settings he found out he won gold and just. Don't let it all out like daddy's gotta be the greatest feeling on earth. One of the greatest feelings on earth to hear your nails and gold medal in any boosted I guess they don't do any official metal. Steve and they are they doing in in the arena or whatever later on. They did the mini podium last night in the give hope plush toy did you see this now. It's very odd like I guess there are three different versions of the like as a place holder. A cure for now enjoy the fanfare here. We get a gold medal later on but they were given these little like panda bear plush toys or something with the oddest thing I've ever seen somebody get a happy meal like Sutton knows something you'd get out of like a vending machine replay the clogging our love that game and that's what it look like so like I got last night so I I was all it on Olympics mode Omar Gaither is gonna join us. In 45 minutes. And we got to talk some college troops were to get to Pat Williams.

If we ordered head is everything gonna take out tonight after a pig ignorant or going out here picking up take out that's like the I learned that mistake last year never done taken on Valentine's Day before and I waited like an hour for the takedown a thought man I thought I had a Smart idea.

We still have those in our household get the TV dinner trays we know we got I tell you what this is a game changer we've got the coffee table that lists up to us. Those are nice oh yeah it's analogous sitting on the couch it's like you got Earl Perkins got this huge spread right in front you you wanna do a game day right. Everything's right there you get the chips the dip the drinks all that stuff see what you set up shop right there on the couch get a little back and forth not on the TV yet. And then tonight eight point one you know maybe she. 7 o'clock 7:38 o'clock I'd say seven to be saved his consonant issue Virginia Tech duke starts at seven. You fire the TV any get weird with college basketball. Like let's get I think things are gonna I don't know why a bit weird vibe on this Dave Odom is gonna join us at four I think things are gonna get weird today. Villanova they play on the road Providence Providence I think this is. Pretty hungry for a win tonight I think I think they are there one of these teams that beast is trying to improve their standing in the big east are really good team go off. Oddly storm back him in the second half to take control that one on Saturday. It's gonna be sneaky fun game man is in Providence Clemson Florida State I I cannot wait to watch. What Constance could be tonight we give this stat up the other day. Close and this is mind blowing adding it was actually Od Tim Tim Moret who's there there dress ideal long time SID. This is the first time since 1997. That any people college basketball mind you. Constant is ranked ahead of both duke and North Carolina. 1997 the last time this happened and that's exactly were north we're Clemson finds themselves tonight and everybody all this and is. I should say everybody people are now starting to be woke to the idea that constant really good basketball closest that the number four RPI in the country. Like Clemson is quietly put themselves among a team that. Think about this for second this is not nuts if closer ride this out. And they finished second in the ACC. What is closer to make a deep run in the ACC tournament sick to even get to the ACC tournament final let alone win it. What do you do with Clemson they're a top at a minimum their top two seed in the in the in the head in the country minority right now hasn't as a three vessels sail like if they keep this up. What if what if they keep this up in clemson's schedule now. The rest of the ways going to be something that this is more starts just to get a little bit tricky but it floor statement home vs duke at VT. This isn't a little mini three game stretch your dictate to a three year and I think it's possible. Especially if you would be duke at home. And he got Georgia Tech Florida State to get in Syracuse. I too close soldier talking about right now 1236 games left for Clemson eagle Ford suing these final six and personal scandals and I know is a nice little schedule but did they finish set up man all the we should be. Really aware that also include some we could be talking about them is anyone's anywhere from my attitude with three seed. Realistically in the NCAA tournament I cannot wait tonight. To watch would you does Billy. Because that if you wanna call the blueprint what everyone to call it. It beat the big game plan on how to beat duke is out there. You attack them you get out running transition. You get you to you're trying to draw those bigs out there on the perimeter and you have the pick and roll and you tried ticked them off the dribble. And you know. I think for Virginia Tech they get the scoring capability to get the speed any athletic schism especially on on the perimeter to give duke tricks tonight and so I wanna see duke what do you do. What's the war on Marvin Magli about a Wacey playing tonight would slide and seen anything on Bagley. I didn't miss some on Sunday and just because they're playing Georgia Tech it's gonna be a little bit different guess Virginia Tech tonight. So that's gonna be a fun game tonight when he talked about this is the this is you want somebody getting weird this is where you get weird 9 o'clock in talking Auburn this is the stat of the day I think John Rothstein had this earlier today John Rothstein from. Fear rag in CBS. That Kentucky this blows my mind and you wanna talk about why Kentucky six and six in the SEC this might explain some things Kentucky is only year in total. Ten more turnovers than they have assists. So low. I mean you wanna talk about talent Kentucky's got talent for days. But when you're turning the ball over more than your actually helping your teammates. You're you're going to be just an okay team now and Kentucky's kind of an okay team and they go to Auburn arena tonight to play in Auburn team that would just press the you know what that you. Like they would just get nothing new and they will defend and Bruce dot places going to be Iraq and they called the jumbled up pleasing me rocking tonight and then. Nevada Boise State to teams that are combined 25 of the Mountain West Conference and I was introduced to keep denial like. Bottom teams in the tournament date you probably are paying attention about west conference basketball I don't blame you on that we get a really good slate college hoops tonight but we're announcing any Amare and Bagley yet so I guess there. Playing it. And if she tagged hearing in on Twitter with that why I really. Now I gotta deal with the repercussions of that. You put it out there I didn't put it out and attacked or put it out there. All now on the tag budget tag may you always do that you tag me on Twitter would that might do that Spezza and you hold on Pat Williams. Magic baby he drafted Dwight Howard we talk a little NBA we're gonna start so we're hornets are two we do that next hearing yet. Not in today I do that tomorrow it's Omar Gaither joins us in thirty minutes till. Prime time powered by ortho Carolina. Omar appears to join us about thirty minutes this is the other thing I forgot about Omar he's he's kind of anti Valentine's Day. And so maybe we will will allow him some some time today to get his advice. I'm Valentine's Day I'm not sure it's gonna actually do you well but look the floors is we'll do that a little bit we go to the technical gas line here though I got courted free game tonight coming up. In four hours 630 airtime tonight we got tip off at seven down in Orlando at the Amway Center boards and actually I dared pretty well against the magic the last few years your ninth straight wins committed to tonight but Doug to spend money here that magic Steve. NBA legend himself Pat Williams pat how you do admit it's gonna talk to you again out. Chris thank you so much it's safe to catch up with you went. Yes we have not been able to figure out. How to beat these sort it summit it's unbelievable. Over the last few years we're. We're we're shooting blanks so. We're eager to see if we can get one tonight down here. Well let me tell you this pat okay so that's fair that is that is valid the hornets have had a magic number I'll tell you this. All 29 other teams in the NBA seem to have borne its number right now themselves dessert they bit their 23 and 33. I remember talking to you. I gosh it was what the day of the NBA draft tweet we knew Dwight Howard was on the hornets squad this point going into the off season week we're kinda have a hope renewed going into the year thinking man hornets might have. Found a way to to to really lift themselves to another level even though look like they were there were kind of capped out and yet it really hasn't. Hasn't worked out but it hasn't been biggest Dwight Howard hasn't played well what do you make or the hornets are now Kazaa would have guessed that Dwight would be this Gooding Campbell would be this good and yet the team would be ten games under 500 at the all star break. Well. But excuse me Chris that's a great point. But I think what people Larry as you gotta have meter tide players. Who are good every night and and deliver every night. That's like where it's called consistency. And the best NBA teams have the most consistent players. You can cattle are delivering. To their actual every state. And I haven't seen all that much of the portraits. Seeing a lot of articulate. And again nice. I think it's consistency so that would be my wife until in this. But it following Dwight is kind of interstate you know he's having a nice here it is numbers are good the east seems should be. Playing you know he's not deployed of ten or twelve years ago but he could still get a dollar and it has numbers are very impressive. We're talking to Pat Williams of the Orlando magic's long time NBA front office man and long time magic VP as well he's on Twitter join him a follow at Orlando Magic had a by the way I always love saying this wherever books are sold his latest book is out I coach wouldn't forgotten team source of lessons from John Wooden summer basketball camps to talk about that in a moment but he's with this right now. On the technique come guess when you've been in the NBA for decades pat and you've been around great players and great teams and teams that have won. And teams that had high expectations. And teams that they didn't meet those expectations. I'd take it back to your days with the sixers pat wood would Barkley in particular because. I'm not gonna say it's on the same plane here. But man there is a lot of frustration as you can imagine from port its fans of we just thought more than anything this team at a minimum was a playoff team could they be a top four seed well that was up for debate. But this team had too much talent to not be a playoff team. What do you remember about those days were same sort of thing where people thought you guys should be better than you or maybe it didn't work out the way you wanna do that would what's that like from from the front office perspective and inside the organization in dealing with those expectations. Well Chris. It's called. You've got to play the days since. You've got to play 82 games if the NBA which just made up both of perhaps. Free agency. Treats all of be a wonderful production. If you hit it you don't have to played some. What nobody would get fired. Everybody would be a hero will be wonderful however. You've got to play 82 games and that's where everything comes out in the wash. And I can visit at the end of 882 games you are what you are. You had enough basketball team is to determine that this is reality. And so at this point what you're seeing with the order it is is who they are. And I guess we've got what 27 games slept. But to. And they're capable you know that eastern play operation is still bunched up quite quite a bit. And they do they keep getting hot here and to make some progress but. They I I've got to say that from my vantage point what you see is what you debt. We're talking a Pat Williams former magic a long time. I NBA front office and imagine GP as well his latest book is out coach wooden is forgotten team stories and lessons from John Wooden summer basketball camps. And dates written with Jim Denny is well wake up pats with this right now. On the tech may come guess like you know there's always a lot of talk pat about roster construction in the warriors. If this is what Jerry surely great teams do right they make you think about how are we building. Our team I would say is a credit to to you guys when Dwight was there in the early days. You guys coach Clifford stalked a lot about this you guys were the precursor to what today's NBA has become with one in. In four out the world with a lot of shooters out on the perimeter nobody was doing that back when you guys did it. And the legal always kind of comes and goes right it always changes in then the game goes at one direction or push back in another direction. But truly at its core the way you build the roster the way you build a team like you're talking about because stepped matters is it any different in 2018 that it was say in 1988. Well not really Chris because at the end of the day. Basketball it's about putting the ball in the hole. And you've got to have shooters. Noted let me rephrase that you've got to have makers. A lot of shooters and since it's important to have makers. And back in the day with. Turkoglu and Rashard Lewis and Jameer Nelson that. JJ Redick and all we get we have a lot of shooters and makers and and that took pressure off of blatant. And Dwight was able to. A work download nobody could handle it one O line. The end result was. A real good ballclub they got to the finals. Against the lakers and had a chance against some. And that was collider is very. I didn't see it that was delayed it is very topple apple. He's. He's still very good back in that try. And take you wish spectacular. What do what do you remember about that pat back in those days where where that started to come out with Swiss standing and coach cliff was on a staff obviously but this idea of hey here's here's how we're gonna build. Our team around Dwight is that was unprecedented that at the time nobody was playing basketball that we want your first impressions when he started to see until what that was gonna look like on the floor there's nobody was to that extent. Well that's because nobody had a Dwight Howard yeah. I think that was the TV and you know he was so top down low that he never did develop an offensive game. For many any range at all and and I guess he didn't have a 20. You know because he could score that there are others who you know it will almost. But. And nobody had Dwight Howard. But he was he was so. The elite center in the league and there was nobody even close to perennial all star. All defensive. Player every year. That he did things through a period beer. That were phenomenal. I remember Matt Lucas who's better at medical there's been around the NBA forever. I was doing our broadcast back in that era he says one time he that he bit better defender. That Bill Russell. And Matt and Matty played against Bill Russell for years. And he made that statement that Dwight Howard better defender than Bill Russell. So. He's quite an interesting player to wait and people I I still report is safe to see it well. Pat when when you see where the horrid threat right now universe and talk and he he was not real serious talk it was it was just talk but the idea that as a way out. To -- getting rid of Kemba Walker is a way to maybe attaching a minute and ideals to unload bad contractor had a young asset are back to return or maybe all those things. Alternately they didn't do that at the deadline there's no serious talks about that good. To me that seems like a hail Mary maybe I'm oversimplifying things the what I see teams and kids love to talk about this anymore about blowing it up or tanking. Timmy that data idea of tanking or blowing it up it seems like a coward's way out correct in my wrong and be doing it that way that that's the only way to fix a franchise is that I may be along in ignorant to believe that but I don't think that's the only way to get out of the Meyer urine is an NBA team is to just blow it all up trade away the good players. And just hope your going to be good again in five years that doesn't seem like the only way out to me what do you make of all that. Chris you better be very very careful. Because it's awfully hard to find good players. All pretty hard to find all star caliber player. And if you have one or two of them. You better hold on to you but tricolor.

Go to WS then he got come to register to win it's a national contest. It's a go take advantage of that. Right now so this Notre Dame thing came out yesterday it's funny his who was that one at one of our listeners tweeting me yesterday during the show saying crow to be seen as. I'd love to know your thoughts on his compared to what happened with North Carolina. And I was vaguely familiar with the story. In the fall when it came out that this was coming down that they were gonna vacate the NCAA that is was going to vacate. I'll winds from Notre Dame I dating back to 2012. And 2013 21 to be exact. Our first some some academic infractions. And of course North Carolina went around and around the merry go rounds forever when it came to DB paper classes. At the University of North Carolina of course University of North Carolina their argument was always. Will this is a school thing this isn't an NCAA issue. Any any so sure. Did worse there were players or being steered towards these classes but guess what. Any any student that had not just a student athlete any studio net the school could have taken these classes at which it's no longer an impermissible benefit that's always the term the NCAA uses impermissible benefit. Is it something that no other student on the campus would have access to and at which point if it is. That's an impermissible benefit. Hey could you have access to a tutor that somebody else couldn't have to help your greats impermissible benefit. Hey did you get twenty bucks for doing XYZ because your name is player you don't. John Dolan you you what you play for Alabama's football team impermissible benefit hey did you get a discount on the local restaurant impermissible benefit right that's always the the broad term that DNC go to NCAA last year as well in this case for Notre Dame it was an academic trainer. Stewart series student athletic trainer out for Notre Dame who was helping students with their course work are helping football players with their course work and debt by that you don't degree the NCAA deem that that was what you would call an impermissible benefit. Notre Dame appeal saying hey do I need to see you guys rolled about North Carolina. Wait so this is about education gap that certain that sort of sings hey we continue to say you don't really get involved and academics this feels like its academics. We wee weed him this what our code of conduct are on our policy until this was that this is a thing like that they would be happy with an ugly or are you going to class and a target for great yeah and so the other eight days they deemed not your work you're not gonna hear your feelings of those 21 wins all vacated and notre Dame's president came out yesterday. And just even a serrated. The NCAA don't get to some this with a mark is although I had this discussion a few weeks ago. What is the deal what is the function of the NCAA. And I'm not thinking you know the first thing McCain in my mind was when I when I was 3 disorders earlier this morning and this afternoon was remember that scene from office space. We're who's the guy Tom. Isn't Tom the guy. He's the he's middle management. Right that it would get to console it succumbing in getting guys thinks is going to be fired all the time yeah he's middle management consultants come in and they start asking everybody hey wait the Bob Syria the bonds command will be what do you what do you do here's what exactly do you do here. And so I visualize you know bonds across the table that the NCAA. Is top. Always worried. Always thinks is jobs in jeopardy but I swear a valuable here Dicey and me I promise you need me around here. What you do in an attack. If you take the specifications from the customers. And you bring them down on the software engineers yes it yes that's that's right well I just have to ask why couldn't customers just. Take them directly to boost what people. Us engineers are not. Fresh okay. So. You physically. Take the specs from the customer. Well you knew it. No my my secretary does that. So then you must. Physically bring into the software people well. Well I don't I think sometimes. What what would you say. You do here. Book well look I already told you deal with the can't customer service engineers don't have to I have people skills I am good at dealing with people that you understand. Would you pay blown.

|[jira] [Updated] (DERBY-4437) Concurrent inserts into table with identity column perform poorly
|Tue, 14 Jun 2011 19:14:49 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4437?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Rick Hillegas updated DERBY-4437: --------------------------------- Attachment: derby-4437-02-ac-alterTable-bulkImport-deferredInsert.diff Attaching derby-4437-02-ac-alterTable-bulkImport-deferredInsert.diff. This patch adds additional tests to verify that ALTER TABLE, import, and deferred INSERT work as spec'd with the new generator-based machinery for identity columns. Committed at subversion revision 1135754. Touches the following files: M java/testing/org/apache/derbyTesting/functionTests/tests/lang/AutoIncrementTest.java A java/testing/org/apache/derbyTesting/functionTests/tests/lang/t_4437_2.dat > Concurrent inserts into table with identity column perform poorly > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-4437 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4437 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 10.5.3.0 > Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen > Assignee: Rick Hillegas > Attachments: derby-4437-01-aj-allTestsPass.diff, derby-4437-02-ac-alterTable-bulkImport-deferredInsert.diff > > > I have a multi-threaded application which is very insert-intensive. I've noticed that it sometimes can come into a state where it slows down considerably and basically becomes single-threaded. This is especially harmful on modern multi-core machines since most of the available resources are left idle. > The problematic tables contain identity columns, and here's my understanding of what happens: > 1) Identity columns are generated from a counter that's stored in a row in SYS.SYSCOLUMNS. During normal operation, the counter is maintained in a nested transaction within the transaction that performs the insert. This allows the nested transaction to commit the changes to SYS.SYSCOLUMN separately from the main transaction, and the exclusive lock that it needs to obtain on the row holding the counter, can be releases after a relatively short time. Concurrent transactions can therefore insert into the same table at the same time, without needing to wait for the others to commit or abort. > 2) However, if the nested transaction cannot lock the row in SYS.SYSCOLUMNS immediately, it will give up and retry the operation in the main transaction. This prevents self-deadlocks in the case where the main transaction already owns a lock on SYS.SYSCOLUMNS. Unfortunately, this also increases the time the row is locked, since the exclusive lock cannot be released until the main transaction commits. So as soon as there is one lock collision, the waiting transaction changes to a locking mode that increases the chances of others having to wait, which seems to result in all insert threads having to obtain the SYSCOLUMNS locks in the main transaction. The end result is that only one of the insert threads can execute at any given time as long as the application is in this state. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Not only does the Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips Lipstick Collection feature many to-die-for shades but it was also created to help support my all time favorite charity which is Women for Women International. $2 from each sale for the first two months will go towards this organization.
I have loved the free cards (replicas) which I have received in the past made by Rwandan women who participate in the Women for Women International program as a thank you for supporting this organization. As well as the letters you get for the woman or women you are supporting. I have nothing but good things to say about this organization which you can find out more about here.
Back to the Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips Lipstick Collection. This collection features 16 different lipstick shades (12 of which are brand new and 4 which are customer favorites). The 12 new shades were created in collaboration with 12 of her favorite celebrity clientele.
See the various lipstick shades and the accompanying celebrity name below (for the brand new 12 shades). Yes, Kim Kardashian is included but even though you may be tired of her as most of us are, this collection is supporting a good cause which should make you feel better.
Created in collaboration with 12 brilliant women for an incredible charity—Women for Women International—Hot Lips Lipstick gives your lips a full-bodied, ultra-beautiful look that leaves a lasting impression.
These lipsticks come in matte and cream (K.I.S.S.I.N.G formula) finishes and include the following shades and finishes;
1.Kim K.W – K.I.S.S.I.N.G formula
2.Super Cindy – Matte Revolution formula
3.Kidman's Kiss – Matte Revolution formula
4.Liv It Up – K.I.S.S.I.N.G formula
5.Bosworth's Beauty – Matte Revolution formula
6.Miranda May – Matte Revolution formula
7.Electric Poppy – Matte Revolution formula
8.Tell Laura – Matte Revolution formula
9.Carina's Love – Matte Revolution formula
10.Hel's Bells – Matte Revolution formula
11.Secret Salma – Matte Revolution formula
12.Hot Emily – K.I.S.S.I.N.G formula
13.Penelope Pink – K.I.S.S.I.N.G formula
14.Sexy Sienna – Matte Revolution formula
15.Nude Kate – K.I.S.S.I.N.G formula
16.Very Victoria – Matte Revolution formula
It's recommended that you use the matching lip liner although the shape of the lipstick tip may make using a lip liner redundant as the lipstick alone may be able to create a precise line until of course you start to use up the product.
Grab this Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips lipstick for $32 at Nordstrom
(Don't forget that you get to choose one of four travel bags filled with various deluxe samples with a beauty purchase of at least $50. Use code PINK, TEAL, LIME or GREY based on the samples you want during checkout.)

This week was my first ever physio appointment. Having never had physio before I wasn't sure what I expected. In my mind I was imagining some sort of fast paced exercise routine that left me feeling ten times dizzier than when I arrived. Thankfully it turned out to be much gentler. The most strenuous part was arriving at the wrong entrance and a trying to be helpful man marching along the corridor to take me to the right place. I felt like saying something but ended up going for my usual approach of not saying anything while trying to shuffle along at a reasonable pace and not topple over in the process. Then it was an hour of questions and gentle pushing on limbs. I was so impressed with how lovely everyone was and the location. This is the garden and they even had sheep!
I am also so grateful to the MS Society for funding the treatment here as otherwise the wait was 6 months!
It's been a bumper week as I also got to see my neurologist after two years (the last time being when I was diagnosed). He's sending me off for a brain scan to see how my MS has progressed. Really can't decide if I like this idea or not. On the one hand, if it's good news that's great! But if it's not I think I would rather carry on pottering around oblivious to this fact. We shall just have to wait and see. If it's worse I doubt I'll be going back for anymore though!

Continuing right along on our journey through cheesy pumpkin land, say hello to chili + queso + macaroni + pumpkin, all packed into a hearty, filling, and oh-so-comforting dish.
If you're still in need of comfort food recipes after I posted about this Pumpkin Beer Cheese Soup, give this Pumpkin Chili Macaroni and Cheese a try. It's the perfect dinner for those chilly autumn nights when you're craving something warm in your belly.
Chili, queso, and pasta aren't foods you'd automatically associate with the word healthy. BUT, believe it or not, this dish contains some pretty rockstar produce. Take a look!
Healthy cooking tip #1: Bulk up your chili with all the veggies! It will increase your serving size without adding unwanted calories and fat. Healthy cooking tip #2: Bulk up your cheesy sauce with pumpkin! It adds a hearty texture that will thicken into an amazingly decadent sauce -a sauce that you'll keep taste testing with a giant spoon until you realize half of it is gone.
Final thoughts:
- This dish is the love child of my husband's fave fall food (chili) and my daughter's toddler food obsession (mac n' cheese). I love culinary mashups!
- The crunchy, cheesy topping is such an added bonus to this dish. In one bite, you're hit with the tangy, spicy chili, creamy mac n' cheese, and little bits of crispy tortilla chips. omg YUM!
- 1 box (13.25 ounces) elbow macaroni (I used Barilla whole grain)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 pound lean ground turkey (I used Jennie-O Extra Lean)
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- ¾ cup black beans
- ½ cup corn (I used frozen)
- 2 cans (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chiles
- 1½ tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 can or 1 ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ lime, juiced
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) chicken or vegetable broth
- ¼ cup baked tortilla chips, crushed
- ½ cup reduced fat Mexican blend shredded cheese
- ¼ cup cilantro
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cook macaroni until just short of al dente. Drain pasta and set aside. In a large sauté pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add in the onion, ground turkey and ½ teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until the ground turkey is cooked through.
- Add in the jalapeño, red bell pepper, black beans, corn, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook on medium heat for 3 minutes. Add in the macaroni and stir everything together until incorporated. Take off heat and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan or in the pan you used to cook the pasta, mix the pumpkin, cream cheese, and lime juice. Stir until cream cheese is melted. Then, add the chicken broth. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Add the cheese sauce to the macaroni mixture and give everything a big stir. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Pour the pumpkin chili macaroni and cheese into a large casserole dish. Layer the shredded cheese and crushed tortilla chips on the top. Place macaroni in the oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Before serving, garnish with cilantro.

From the Desk of Secretary Treasurer Tom Quackenbush
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
It gives me great pleasure to let you know our Local is as financially sound as it has ever been. Although the Mergers of Local 669 and 182 into our Local initially caused a bit of a strain, our local has seen its assets grow!
Good fiscal practices, prudent managerial decisions that have been implemented and teamwork throughout the office have attributed to our Local having current assets at almost $1.9 Million dollars.
All of these things have allowed us to leverage our financial strength to benefit our members with strong contracts, arbitration procedures, and growing through organizing. We continue to have some of the strongest contracts in our industries with the best wages and language.
With President Bulgaro's leadership, a strong financial discipline, proper budgeting, and the team effort we have…. I see great things happening for the future of our local!
US labor news headlines from LabourStart
Local 812, is in a struggle with Clare Rose, a privately owned Long Island beer distributor of Budweiser, Bud Light and related brands, to preserve good jobs and benefits in the beverage industry. To date, the company has said that they believe we are at impasse and they imposed their draconian final offer which left our members no alternative but to strike. The company has since indicated that they plan to permanently replace our members
On behalf of the 130 members employed at Clare Rose, we are asking for your support. Clare Rose is one of the largest beverage distributors in the country and our union has represented its workers for many years. Labor relations have steadily deteriorated since the third generation of the Rose family took the helm in recent years.
Clare Rose is a very profitable, but instead of rewarding workers for their efforts, the Company is demanding:
Many of the Local 812 members who deliver, sell and merchandise Clare Rose products, have held their jobs for decades. They simply could not continue to support their families or retire with security with the contract that Clare Rose is offering. Furthermore, Local 812 won't allow this Company to erode the high standards that generations of union members have fought for in the beverage industry. Clare Rose has received hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer-funded Industrial Development Agency benefits. Yet they chose to use out of state non-union labor to build their new headquarters. Now they want to drastically reduce the compensation of their workforce while collecting public subsidies.We need your help to win this fight. Any Support you can give would be greatly appreciated in the effort to fight for the working class.

The importance of data entry in the health care industry can hardly be stressed. Reports have shown that one of the main reasons for wrongful patient treatment is erroneous data entry. The entry of wrong information into the computer has proved fatal for patients. While paper records are becoming a thing of the past due to the difficulties of management as well as space constraints, it is crucial that patient information is accurately entered into the electronic health record. Medical data has to be coded and entered in specific sequence – from demography to diagnoses to treatment details. A well-organized computer-based record system improves the availability of information, administrative efficiency, and patient care. Efficient data entry is also necessary for proper billing and claims management in health care.
To focus on their core tasks, ensure better patient care and increase revenue, medical facilities are increasingly outsourcing their data entry tasks. Established outsourcing companies are well-equipped to provide professional, error-free, secure data entry services to meet the highest standards. A business process outsourcing company can provide efficient data entry solutions for general insurance claims, demographic entry, medical insurance claims, and complex insurance forms. This allows quick verification and payment of claims.
The medical billing data entry services that a reliable BPO company offers can help speed up collections and ensure timely reimbursement. Medical billing data entry solutions include entry of form information, payment entry, automatic indexing, file reformatting, and more. Teams of data entry specialists efficiently convert all forms printed or handwritten matter, hard copies into client-specific format using only standard abbreviations and medical codes.
The best way to decide make your outsourcing decision is locate a provider that offers a free trial to test efficiency. Data entry is a highly competitive field, so choose a company that provides timely, HIPAA-compliant solutions to save you at least 30 to 40 % on your overhead.

An EPD® (Environmental Product Declaration) is an independently verified and registered document that communicates transparent and comparable information about the life-cycle environmental impact of products.
As a voluntary declaration of the life-cycle environmental impact, having an EPD® for a product does not imply that the declared product is environmentally superior to alternatives.
What about the ®?
The EPD® logotype and the acronym EPD® are registered trademarks within the European Union.
The relevant standard for Environmental Product Declarations is ISO 14025, where they are referred to as "type III environmental declarations". A type III environmental declaration is created and registered in the framework of a programme, such as the International EPD® System.
An EPD® may be used for many different applications, including green public procurement (GPP) and building assessment schemes. The concept of type III environmental declarations was developed to primarily be used in business-to-business communication, but their use in business-to-consumer communication is not precluded by the standards.

A friend made a decision to leave a job recently. It was a hard decision for her, because even though she knew it was the right time for her to leave, she didn't want to disappoint her employers and coworkers.
What do you do when being yourself causes other people pain? Is it ever appropriate to compromise your values to shelter others from sadness? How do you balance your own need for authenticity with the rights and needs of others? These are big questions and we all deal with them in many ways.
The story told in Chaim Potok's novel My Name is Asher Lev offers some amazing insight into this dilemma.
Asher Lev is born into an orthodox Jewish family just after the Second World War. His father is a leader who devotes his life to the well being of Jews around the world. He expects his son to follow in his foot steps. Instead Asher is passionate about art. He is more than talented. He is a creative prodigy.
His family and community are hyper critical about his passion to create art. Not only do they see him as wrong and misguided. They say he is being evil and sinful. Yet he can't suppress his creative calling. He tries, but it destroys him NOT to express his gift.
For Asher, being true to himself meant being an artist. He had to express his art in order to become all that he could be. But there was a major cost to his authenticity.
He has to leave his religious community, at least for a while. Asher says toward the end of the book, "I looked at my right hand, the hand with which I painted. There was power in that hand. Power to create and destroy…Asher Lev paints good pictures and hurts people he loves."
He then hears the voice of God reply, "Then be a great painter, Asher Lev; that will be the only justification for all the pain you will cause…. Journey with me, my Asher. Paint the anguish of all the world. Let people see the pain."
Whether you believe in God or not, the message is powerful. However you describe or name it, authenticity is an inner calling to express the essence of who you are and let it grow and flourish. It's soul destroying to ignore it. And if it causes suffering for others, who don't like or understand your passion, then you need to make sure you use your gift in ways that make the world a better place.
So if your conscience calls you to leave a job, break up a relationship, enlist in the military or join a picket line, and people close to you resent it, make sure it counts for something significant.
I've experienced this dilemma personally. I've always been a square peg in the round hole that is mainstream religion. My decision to create something that goes beyond religion has caused suffering for many people. But the calling is strong and the need for those who aren't looking for religion but still want to live full, passionate and meaningful lives, is clear.
Like Asher, my inner voice tells me to keep going no matter how much criticism I face, and to do it for the right reasons and in a way that transforms suffering.
In an interesting parallel to the novel, Asher uses Christian crucifixion imagery to illustrate his theme of suffering. This is very hard for his Jewish family.
In my case, it was removing a cross that was so important. Instead of living under the shadow of a symbol that has been used to exclude, manipulate and kill, I chose to open a path for people of all faiths and no faith to come together and practice being deeply human and real alongside each other. We don't need to be rescued nor do we need rescue each other. We need to direct each other within, where there is limitless creative power and strength to find an authentic path with heart.
Most of us aren't faced with extreme choices like Asher Lev, but we are all confronted with daily decisions to live authentically and face the consequences of our choices.
The bottom line is to be true to yourself for sure. But more than that, be a GREAT version of yourself. So that when people look at your life, even those who despise your choices, they are inspired to be a GREAT version of who they are.

By Luis Solis, Kenpo Karate
One fine Southern California day a friend of mine invited me to tag along with him for a visit to Ed Parkers original Kenpo Karate School in Pasadena. The year was 1959.
I was immediately impressed by the goings on in there and soon after enrolled in my very first Self Defense classes under Mr. Parkers guidance. In an attempt to break the ice, I jokingly asked Ed if Id be good enough after the next ten years of training to challenge him directly to a fight? He laughed and seemed to get my joke. Ed and I laughed a lot together over the years.
I really enjoyed training there and excelled as much as possible. We all did. Ed Parker was an innovative teacher and a good person. Around that time many of the original students of American Kenpo were there too. Known names like Dan Rodarte, Larry Hartsell, Frank Trejo, Steve Golden, Pete Jacobs, Jerry Poteet, Bob Bremer, & Dan Inosanto seemed to stand out among the rest of my fellow students.
Inosanto, a neighbor of mine, and I soon became close friends and frequent training partners during that period. Dan was always an avid cross-trainer who would sometimes visit other studios. I began to accompany him during those visits in order to experience aspects of different systems and other martial arts styles. It made for great experiences. I became one of the senior students and often taught class at the studio. Those were good times to say the least.
Approximately six years later I actually received my Black Belt from Ed in 1968. That was a proud day for me!
At the very first Ed Parker International Karate Competition at the Long Beach Convention Center in California during the mid 1960s, I witnessed a then unknown young Bruce Lee perform a fantastic martial
arts demonstration.
We were all astounded as Bruce performed his now infamous 1 punch, amazing two-fingered pushups using only one arm and some other truly remarkable and even exotic techniques. He impressed us all that day with his incredible physical abilities! Days later Bruce stopped by the studio to visit with Ed during a class I happened to be conducting. After which Ed called me into his office and formally introduced me to Bruce. I shook his hand. I recognized him from the Long Beach Convention Center and felt a little nervous in his presence.
Bruce again visited Parkers studio later that week and approached me about assisting him during an upcoming martial arts demonstration hed scheduled in Los Angeles Chinatown. I hesitated and pointed towards my fellow Black Belts saying they may make better candidates? Bruce said, No. I want you because youre my kind of people. I was too flattered to refuse.
I met Bruce at his hotel to discuss his plan and he proceeded to explain what he wanted me to do. He actually taught me a new approach towards self-defense, which complemented what I was already accustomed to doing. It was an exciting discovery!
It was to be the first such demonstration Id ever done and boy was I nervous at the thought of performing in front of a crowd. Bruce noticed my hands shaking and found my anxiety amusing. He allowed me to perform a few Kata forms to open the occasion then repeated much of what Id seen him do at Parkers earlier event this time including me in some of it.
Bruce Lee again amazed the entire room with his groundbreaking physical feats!
After it was over we laughed and he teased me over my prior concerns. He loved a good laugh.
Bruce was satisfied that his demonstration went well despite my nerves and afterwards invited a few of us out for dinner on him.
At the table Bruce and his other guests ordered up some tea to drink. I was ready for a beer. When the waitress brought it to the table I began to pour it into the glass shed provided me. As its foam settled I looked up and saw Bruces other guests were staring at my beer in disbelief.
One of them asked if I was really going to drink it in front of Bruce? I replied, Yes, of course. Why not? I didnt understand and casually shrugged it off. He said Bruce didnt drink and I realized they were trying to show him their respect by not ordering any alcohol. As I began to take my first drink one of the others said, Well, if hes gonna have one so will I!They all began to order beers while Bruce laughed to himself as he continued sipping his tea.
Weeks later Steve Golden and I assisted with another of Bruces demonstrations in Chinatown. This time I was much less nervous and it went very well to all our delight.
Bruce Lee continued to occasionally pay visits to Eds Kenpo studio in Pasadena. One time a somewhat cocky fellow student of mine openly debated a particular technique that Bruce was discussing with some of us and foolishly attempted to physically counter his approach. Lee executed a lightning fast straight punch to the fools chest, which violently knocked him on his back to the mat! I feel fortunate to have known Bruce Lee. What I learned from him during that short period has forever changed the way I approach my own martial arts training.
Years later while on a well deserved lunch break at my day job, my co-workers attempted to test my self-defense skills. A new guy was said to be a knife-fighter of sorts from South America who had been informed about of my extensive experience in the martial arts.
A challenge was soon issued without my prior knowledge. A group of my fellow employees had arranged it so that Id be corralled into one of the larger restrooms on the premises. I hadnt noticed what they were up to as they led me along the way. When I entered, the South American was waiting with his trusty knife in hand. Somehow, I unwittingly found myself walking into an unwelcome fight with this new guy!
He began to flash his blade in an intimidating manner trying to impress us all with his handling. His proper form suggested hed been practicing his knife-fighting skills for some time.
He was obviously very good with a knife and it was unsettling to find myself in such a position in close quarters!
After he completed his motions and squared off in front of me I noticed he looked a bit nervous and realized our fellow workers mustve pressured him into this challenge. This was definitely not an average day at work.
He again started to flash his blade around in a threatening manner as I observed his movement and handling from my guard position. I tracked his timing for a few moments then was fortunate enough to execute a well-timed left hand chop to his knife hand, which sent the blade flying away.
The crowded lavatory was stunned in disbelief. After a moment they all began to cheer. I was glad it ended so quickly without anyone getting seriously hurt. I was thankful to be alive!
My opponent and I looked at each other with a sense of relief. He said, Wow, Im glad thats over! I agreed with him. It turns out he was just as nervous as I was. We started talking and realized it was a case of pure peer pressure that led him into our fight. We both laughed. As time went by we became friends and did some training together for a while until he ended up returning to his home in Brazil. I never held any grudge against him for the way we met.
I am very grateful to have lived a good long life full of lasting experiences. I remain thankful to have met so many interesting people who have helped me to develop and enhance the values of life I hold so dearly! Im now well advanced in years and have been living in fabulous Las Vegas with my lovely second wife for over a decade.
Remember to train hard and stay healthy ALWAYS!
Sensei Luis R. Solis

He was a timid Little Leaguer teased by opponents and belittled by teammates. He was mocked for being pudgy and gentler than the other boys, even though he was bigger than most of them.
Then, urged by his father, the Little Leaguer fought back, pummeling one of his tormentors, blackening both his eyes.
The chunky boy grew up to become a menacing 320-pound
Richie Incognito was suspended by the Miami Dolphins, his third N.F.L. team in five years, amid allegations that he bullied Jonathan Martin, his teammate on the offensive line who left the team last week and has not returned. The news hardly came as a shock to most of those who had crossed paths with Incognito since his college years. A snarling, tattooed, 6-foot-3 dynamo, Incognito dominated opponents even as he stretched the boundaries of civil conduct during games and in everyday life.
But whatever trouble Incognito encountered — and there were numerous scrapes with the law, with coaches and with teammates from New York to
But how did Incognito, plump-cheeked and boyish even in his college photo, transform into a man suspected of terrorizing his own teammate, referring to him publicly as the Big Weirdo? It would be simplistic to point to a childhood fistfight as a turning point, but people from Incognito's past still remember the teasing he endured as a kid, and the response he delivered.
The fight "sent the right message to the town," said Seth Bendian, who gave Richie private baseball instruction near his hometown, Bogota, N.J. "And Richie remained a nice, quiet kid."
Incognito became more aggressive as his career developed until he landed in Miami, which had a locker room culture that seemed unchecked. Glimpses of that world that have emerged in recent days have ignited a national debate over the fuzzy area between camaraderie and bullying.
Martin's lawyer said Thursday that Martin had endured more than a year of physical and verbal abuse, including a threat against his sister. He blamed
If that was a challenge, it could be because his uncompromising aggression and noted mean streak have so often been prized in football.
In 2005, less than a year after off-field transgressions ended his college career at
This week, one of his teammates and friends from Nebraska and the Rams, kicker Josh Brown, assessed Incognito differently.
"There were rumors that he would barricade himself in his room, signs of
Brown shook his head.
"I know that's not the whole Richie," he said. "That's what's sad. But it's in there."
In Bogota, those who knew Incognito in the late 1980s and early 1990s are shaking their heads, too.
"That's the not the nice kid we knew," said Pat McHale, a former youth baseball coach and the current Bogota mayor. "His family was strait-laced. His father was the director of umpires."
Richie's father, Richard, a self-described devotee of the artist
Ewan did not expect Incognito to have a controversial future or be labeled a troublemaker.
"The first red flag is whatever happened at Nebraska," he said.
A lot happened at Nebraska.
As an 18-year-old redshirt freshman, he warred with the older starters in practice, often fighting after the whistle was blown. The coaches punished Incognito for the tussles, but at least one coach said he admired Incognito's spunk. Incognito became a starter at left tackle in 2002. In his second game, he was accused of spitting on a Troy State linebacker. In his fourth game, he threw multiple punches at a
After a whistle at one practice that season, he was accused of hitting a backup lineman, Jack Limbaugh. "He did that kind of thing to a lot of his teammates," Limbaugh said. "I just walked off the field. A fight is what he wanted, but I wasn't going there."
Incognito was suspended for fighting in practice during 2003, and Nebraska sent him to the Menninger Clinic in Topeka, Kan., which treats psychiatric and behavioral problems. He was reinstated and was named an All-Big 12 Conference All-Star. But before the 2004 season, Incognito was found guilty of a misdemeanor assault charge. He was still on the roster until he fought a teammate in the locker room that summer. The new Nebraska coach, Bill Callahan, dismissed him.
He was quickly accepted into Oregon as long as he sought anger management therapy.
Incognito's stay was less than two weeks, not long enough to even participate in a full practice. He never registered for any courses, according to the registrar's office.
Incognito then signed with an agent, who helped support him until the 2005 draft. He was a first-round talent, but he fell to the third round because of his history of unruliness. Incognito was a mainstay on the Rams' offensive line for five turbulent seasons during which he clashed with opponents, teammates, coaches, referees and even fans who booed a losing team. He committed 38 penalties in that period, including a league-high seven personal fouls.
A 2009 poll of N.F.L. players by The Sporting News named Incognito the league's dirtiest player.
That season, in a loss to

For the 2010 season, the Dolphins gave Incognito a one-year contract. He vowed he would be a changed man and embarked on a makeover that included yoga, meditation and counseling. He began taking the drug
Before the 2011 season, the Dolphins gave Incognito a three-year, $13 million contract with a $3.25 million guaranteed signing bonus, and there were fewer documented incidents of misbehavior. He declared himself a new man. "I'm not saying I'm done with evolving," he told The Sun Sentinel in August. "I know there is a lot of work ahead, but I've done a lot of work mentally and physically to change some things."
After the 2012 season, he was awarded the Good Guy Award, voted on by local news media. The Dolphins chose Incognito for a public service advertisement exhorting fans to behave properly at games.
But he received a trespassing warning after a suspected bar fight in Miami Beach this year.
And then Martin came forward with accusations of workplace abuse. Since Incognito's suspension from the Dolphins, other allegations have surfaced, including a report that the police in
Incognito and his agent have declined interview requests since his suspension. While Incognito has been widely villainized, several of Incognito's teammates have supported him. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill called him the "best teammate I've ever had." He said Incognito was Martin's best friend on the Dolphins.
Meanwhile, back in Incognito's hometown, Bogota, people struggled to connect the pudgy Little Leaguer with the man now accused of bullying.
"My kids were Richie's babysitters," said Nick Barese, president of Incognito's youth baseball league. "Things couldn't have been more normal. I don't know what happened."
An earlier version of this article misspelled the surname of Richie Incognito's former coach at Mountain Ridge High School in Glendale, Ariz. He is Jim Ewan, not Evans.


text: Most of us women have so many clothes and still nothing to wear. For me its worse cause i design my own clothes but still struggle to find something to wear. So i read an article about shopping in your closet. So this look i actaully did the shopping in my closet and was not sure about it but it actaully came out perferct. The shoes were inspired by #charloteolympia denim shoes. Mine i bought them a few years ago at truthworths stores. And to be honest it came out perfect. So this week i will try my level best to shop in my own closet and see how all the looks turn out. I will post all of them. And thank you all for viewing, following and liking. May you have a fruitful blessed week ahead.
