Understanding XML Format Files
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 provides an XML schema that defines syntax for writing XML format files. XML format files must adhere to this schema, which is defined in the XML Schema Definition Language (XSDL). XML format files are only supported when SQL Server tools are installed together with SQL Native Client.
SQL Server 2005 supports two types of format files. In contrast, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and earlier, supported only a single type of format file. To distinguish the pre-existing type from XML format files, the pre-existing type of format file is called a non-XML format file.
You can use XML format files to bulk import data into tables or non-partitioned views and to bulk export data. XML format files are an alternative to non-XML format files, which are supported in SQL Server 2000 and earlier, (and remain supported in SQL Server 2005). XML format files are more flexible and powerful than non-XML format files. XML format files are easy to understand and create. Furthermore, they are human readable, making it easy to understand how data is interpreted during bulk operations. The XML encoding clearly describes the data types and data elements of the data file and also the mapping between data elements and table columns.
An XML format file can be enhanced yet remain compatible with its earlier versions. Furthermore, the clarity of XML encoding facilitates the creation of multiple format files for a given data file. This is useful if you have to map all or some of the data fields to columns in different tables or views.
The bcp command allows you to automatically generate an XML format file for a table; for more information, see bcp Utility.
Structure of XML Format Files
Like a non-XML format file, an XML format file defines the format and structure of the data fields in a data file and maps those data fields to columns in a single target table.
An XML format file possesses two main components, <RECORD> and <ROW>:
- <RECORD> describes the data as it is stored in the data file.
Each <RECORD> element contains a set of one or more <FIELD> elements. These elements correspond to fields in the data file. The basic syntax is as follows:
<FIELD .../> [ ...n ]
Each <FIELD> element describes the contents of a specific data field. A field can only be mapped to one column in the table. Not all fields need to be mapped to columns.
A field in a data file can be either of fixed/variable length or character terminated. A field value can be represented as: a character (using single-byte representation), a wide character (using Unicode two-byte representation), native database format, or a file name. If a field value is represented as a file name, the file name points to the file that contains the value of a BLOB column in the target table.
- <ROW> describes how to construct data rows from a data file when the data from the file is imported into a SQL Server table.
A <ROW> element contains a set of <COLUMN> elements. These elements correspond to table columns. The basic syntax is as follows:
<COLUMN .../> [ ...n ]
Each <COLUMN> element can be mapped to only one field in the data file. The order of the <COLUMN> elements in the <ROW> element defines the order in which they are returned by the bulk operation. The XML format file assigns each <COLUMN> element a local name that has no relationship to the column in the target table of a bulk import operation.
The following table describes the topics in this section.
Contains a summary of the elements and attributes of the XML schema for XML format files.
Contains information on using XML format files in a variety of cases, including an Adventure Works example.

Jon Gosselin says the show must go on – for him at least.
The reality dad forced TLC to halt production of "Kate Plus 8" but tells Entertainment Tonight he doesn't plan to stay off the small screen forever, Usmagazine.com reported.
He also said that he'll "continue on television" and is "not worried about future employment," with offers seemingly in the pipeline to back up his case.
Meanwhile, the cable network said it will stop filming new episodes next month, a spokeswoman told The New York Post.
Gosselin has reportedly turned down an appeal by Lindsay Lohan's dad, Michael, to join the Celebrity Boxing Federation.
Lohan has also been pitching network execs on his own reality show, "The Divorced Dad's Club." He has said he hoped TLC would release Gosselin from his contract so the octodad could appear on the show.
During the ET interview, Gosselin also said he was wrong to withdraw money from a joint bank account he shared with soon to be ex-wife Kate.
"It was just after arbitration and we weren't supposed to take money out of the restrictive account and we both did," he said, according to Us. "I was found in contempt for doing so. I didn't realize, I thought I was just taking my paycheck out."
Earlier this week, a judge ordered Gosselin to return $155,000 to the account. He said he now plans to do so.
Gosselin said he wanted to speak to Kate at the court hearing but "in a public setting as a public figure you have to watch what you say and do."
The couple's next court date is on Oct. 26.

Cor pulmonale is failure of the right side of the heart, the side that
pumps blood to the lungs. This problem occurs when the heart has to work
harder to pump blood through damaged lungs, such as when a person's lungs are
damaged because of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
People with cor pulmonale are short of breath because of their
damaged lungs. They may have swollen legs and a swollen abdomen because of
fluid retention (edema).

Steve Pasquale might have a tumultuous love life as Sean Garrity in FX's "Rescue Me." But the road to love is going to hit some serious bumps -- even as he finds seemingly the most perfect woman in the world played by newcomer Cody Horn.
She is gorgeous fashion model with blonde hair and stunning green eyes. Her "Rescue Me" character Emily would seem to be a guy's dream -- except for the gas.
"She has an issue," Horn reveals to PopcornBiz. "It's post-coital flatulence."
Yes, we were shocked when she dropped this bomb on us at the press day for her latest movie, "Flipped."
Horn says that Emily's emergence initially seems to be the perfect situation for the relational battle-torn Garrity.
"She's normal," says Horn. "She works in a bridal store. She's lovely and nice."
"She's a breath of fresh air," she adds. "But she does have an affliction."
The fresh air sadly leaves the room after sex.
"Maybe they deal with it, maybe they don't," teases Horn when asked how Garrity handles the issue.
Clearly, there's some dealing. Horn admits it's a 10-episode arc. That's a lot of air clearing.
In real-life Horn is a serious star to watch. Besides being a Ralph Lauren model, her father is Warner Brothers honcho Alan Horn and her model is model/actress, Cindy Horn. She's also clearly in possession of a sense of humor.
Horn also rocks in "Flipped," a part she insists was given to her as she dropped a friend off to audition for a separate part. Judging from her stunning looks, you actually could see director Rob Reiner making such a decision. Meanwhile sixth season of "Rescue Me" returns to FX on June 29.

The Profile Series perimeter raceway system combines high capacity and cabling flexibility with a sleek look. Its curved contour reduces visual impact and blends with surrounding decor.
The curved surfaces of raceway conceal an arrangement of two separate wire and cable compartments and a dedicated channel for electrical and data/communications devices. This system also offers a corner drop-feed option that allows vertical feeds without penetrating walls.
Two discrete channels segregate power and data/communications cabling. At activation points, wires and cables feed directly into a central device channel.
Because there are no devices in the wiring channels, installation is easier and there is no loss of cable fill capacity. Integral, hinged sub-covers facilitate lay-in and pull-through installation and provide fully independent access for moves, adds and changes.
Single- and double-gang device brackets accept the full line of modular Activate UTP and fiber-optic inserts. A 2-inch bend radius protects cables against damage during installation. Fittings snap over the raceway base for an aesthetic look with no corner bulges.
The raceway provides an unobtrusive alternative to back- or end-feeding of wires and cables. A unique corner drop feature allows cables to be dropped from ceilings without penetrating partitions. The corner location also provides for an inconspicuous feed. Designed to meet the aesthetic requirements of work spaces and classrooms, the raceway is available in standard ivory and white, and a "vast palette of custom colors."
How it works The Profile Series Raceway is designed for ease of installation. Integral, hinged sub-covers completely separate the wiring channels from the device channel. They snap open to facilitate lay-in and pull-through installation and to provide fully independent access to electrical wiring and data/communications cabling. Because devices and cables do not share the same channel, pull-through is smoother and cable fill remains consistent through the entire run. The PVC material cuts easily to provide access to the device channel.
The raceway comes in 8-foot lengths for fewer joints and one-person installation. Device brackets have a quick-mount feature that allows screws to be pushed into place without tools. Device brackets accept all Activate connectivity modules. These modules snap in place for additional ease of installation.
How it happened The Profile raceway was designed at Wiremold's home office in West Hartford, Conn., and tested in the field prior to its launch. Wiremold also produces the Access 5000, which conceals wires and cables behind a baseboard that can be fitted with real-wood veneer. The company came to the conclusion that capacity has become as major an issue as aesthetics and flexibility.
"Architects liked the look of the Access 5000 but could not use it in applications that called for high capacity," said Bill Desrosiers, Wiremold's product business manager for perimeter raceway systems. "In response, we included a number of features that makes installation faster and easier, where greater cable capacity was required."
In developing Profile, Wiremold spent a lot of time with installers. Desrosiers said it took two years of research, including focus groups and one-on-one discussions with members of the design community, specifying engineers and installers to develop the raceway. "We even involved them in trial installations during our product development," he said.
"In order to achieve higher capacity, you obviously have to meet certain cable-fill requirements, and that involves providing a certain amount of space for the cables to occupy. But the curved surface of the raceway minimizes the visual effect. In addition, we have designed a fitting that enables the drop to be located in the least conspicuous manner - in the corner. The fitting mirrors the curved shape of the raceway and has a full interior divider, so it accommodates power and datacom cabling. This is a feature that many specifiers said was most important to them." The Wiremold Co.

What would you do if you could turn back time? Fans of Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time, whether paying punters or industry insiders, have been agonising over that question in recent months. Ubisoft's game generated a great deal of affection as it neared completion and then reached market last autumn, but that never quite seemed to translate into a tangible mass market presence and popularity. If expectations of an instant Vice City-sized cultural impact were a little extravagant, it's still not difficult to appreciate why it was a game that people felt like rooting for.
Sands Of Time felt thrillingly modern, but alive to the fundamental importance of old-fashioned videogame adrenaline, too.
It majored on story, but it didn't subordinate control or interaction to its narrative needs. It eschewed excessive length and obscurity for non-stop thrills, and sidestepped the traditional infuriation of instant platform death with its smart rewind trick. It gave needy gamers puzzle-previewing dreams before they tackled a new room, but old hands could skip them. It seemed like a bold new prototype for a type of game that could potentially thrill hardened veterans and reinvigorate the conservative mainstream market at the same time.
Sure, Sands Of Time was stylish and stylised, but not to the extremes of a Rez, Mojibribon or Ico. Parts of its style succeeded by out-slow-moving Max Payne and Enter The Matrix, while, at speed, the prince's movements emulated the pure buzz of being an absurdly accomplished acrobat which its creators at Ubisoft Montreal had so admired in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games.
Some had questioned the value of the licence in the modern marketplace but, again, that was the point. The game seemed an exemplary case of updating a beloved, long-dormant videogame in precisely the ways you'd have expected if you loved the original - and then expanding on that to extravagant ends you wouldn't have dared to expect. But if its heritage meant nothing, surely prospective purchasers would still see it was a brilliant, stunt-packed, blockbuster in the finest Indiana Jones tradition?
From the moment Sands of Time entered the UK PS2 charts at number ten last November, however, some people began to wonder what had gone wrong. So many hopes had been invested in the game, it seemed that if only time could be turned back and events corrected, a single tweak could have changed everything. Few, however, agreed on what that single tweak should be.
Some blamed the exclusivity deal with Sony that saw the game's GC and Xbox releases confirmed late and not released until this year, reasoning that a multiformat appearance would have stopped it being overshadowed by the marquee brands that towered over the Christmas season. (That doesn't explain its comparable fate in the US, despite near-simultaneous releases on all consoles and critical acclaim there.) Others said that the POP TV advertising and poster campaigns missed the point. A few grumbled about the ten-hour playtime, some repetitive and overlong fight sequences, the game's sudden difficulty spikes or a couple of especially bemusing puzzles. There were all sorts of if-only explanations. What was agreed was, first, that something had been missed out on and, second, that it was right to fear that such a missed opportunity could threaten the sequel that had been spoken of even before Sands Of Time's release.
It was 'no' on both counts from Ubisoft, though. Exclusivity deals and all, the company announced in February that POP had shifted two million copies worldwide by the end of 2003 (though the proportion of those sold as parts of bundles, which were widespread, was not revealed) and pointedly excluded it from the list of underselling titles (XIII, BGandE) cited at the same time. Since Christmas, the publisher has been able to point to new year sales, too; at time of going to press, in mid-April, POP had climbed two places to number 19 on the UK all-formats charts after 25 weeks on sale.
It was a 'no' to any suspicion that the stomach for a sequel weakened after initial results for POP, too. At Ubisoft Montreal, producer Bertrand Helias says the sequel project has been "full steam ahead" since his work on it began last summer. "[Sands Of Time is] really a success story for Ubisoft. In two ways, in terms of awards by the press and the industry, appreciation by the public and so on, it's really one of the biggest success stories from Ubisoft."
Positive news - but is the company aware that there's a perception otherwise? "Yeah, I know there is a perception, but that's not the case," he says with a little laugh. "It was a success, not just at Christmas time - the story continued after. Europe was very strong for GameCube - it has done very well. Very, very well."
If there was any one explanation that still seems to make some sort of sense, and that might stick, it was a rather more mundane one. It was one of the early anxieties of some observers - that POP was an action game that lacked the essential decorative trimmings to woo today's mass market - urban reality, beefcake biceps, guns. It was a uniquely sexy game, but perhaps it would have pushed more buttons if it had stuck to conventionally uncomplicated videogame evocations of sensuality of the WWE wrestling-cum-pornstar variety. Perhaps it's no coincidence, then, that aesthetics is the one realm in which the POP2 team is happy to declare an all-new approach.
"First of all, I think," Helias explains, "that we want to change the prince. Now he will be better in fights. He will have a better attitude. The prince will have more charisma. We want him to be darker, we want him to be a better fighter - do you see what I mean? When he will go on a new adventure, he will know what combat means."
That shadowy sensibility extends to the sequel's all-new locales, and the logic is clear - a bit more Marvel-moody, bulked-up, bad-ass: less All About Eve, more Evanescence - for, you know, the kids. Ageing romantics smitten with the mood of Sands Of Time might have grounds to fear the onset of this gothic darkness - the diaphanous elegance and sandstone-and-silk palette of the original was all about lightness of touch. However, given that these cosmetic alterations are the number one area of change for the POP2 team, more champions of Sands Of Time will surely be reassured by the news. Beyond the makeover, Ubisoft wants to produce a game that celebrates Sands Of Time's achievements, rather than seeking to outdo them for the sake of it.

World Summit on Sustainable Development
Healthy life is an outcome of sustainable development, as well as a powerful and undervalued means of achieving it. We need to see health both as a precious asset in itself, and as a means of stimulating economic growth and reducing poverty. -Dr Gro Harlem Brundtland
Director-General Emeritus, WHO.
Principle One of the Rio Declaration states that "Human beings are at the centre of concerns for sustainable development. They are entitled to a healthy and productive life in harmony with nature". The World Summit on Sustainable Development (Johannesburg, South Africa, August 26 - September 4, 2002) was an unprecedented opportunity to strengthen the role of health in sustainable development.
Health is both a resource for, as well as an outcome of, sustainable development. The goals of sustainable development cannot be achieved when there is a high prevalence of debilitating illness and poverty, and the health of a population cannot be maintained without a responsive health system and a healthy environment. Environmental degradation, mismanagement of natural resources, and unhealthy consumption patterns and lifestyles impact health. Ill-health, in turn, hampers poverty alleviation and economic development.
Development policies and practices need to take into account current and future impacts on health and the environment. Strengthened partnerships and alliances are needed both inside and outside the health sector to address the emerging challenges. The World Health Organization, through its involvement in the WSSD process and follow up, is working to meet these needs, with the ultimate goal of making health more central to sustainable development.

An independent panel of scientists says two government-issued studies can't show if people were harmed by toxic pollution from Fort Detrick contaminating the ground water, but further studies are unlikely to answer lingering questions about the health impacts of the cancer-causing chemicals buried decades ago at the Frederick military base.
In a review sponsored by the Army, a committee of environmental and health experts with the National Research Council took issue with a study by the U.S. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, which concluded that tainted ground water seeping out from Detrick's Area B was "unlikely to have produced any harmful health effects, including cancer."
The research council scientists said that because there had been little or no water sampling done before 1992, when toxic chemicals were discovered in residential wells near the base, it's impossible to reconstruct residents' past exposures. With such essential information lacking, the expert panel said, the federal study should have declared that the tainted ground water posed an "indeterminate public health hazard."
The Army has been under pressure from local activists and a former evangelist from Florida over toxic substances it disposed of and tested at the 1,200-acre base in Frederick. From World War II until 1969, biological agents were developed and tested there, and a 399-acre tract known as Area B was used as both a proving ground and a dump for castoff laboratory equipment and materials, including toxic chemicals.
Unsafe levels of two cleaning solvents, trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene, both carcinogens were discovered in wells just off base in 1992. High levels of the chemicals also showed up in a creek that flows past the base in the late 1990s. The Army has since excavated and removed chemical drums and almost 4,000 tons of contaminated soil. Under pressure from state officials, the Army agreed in 2010 to conduct more monitoring and cleanup under the supervision of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The National Research Council reviewers endorsed a study by the state and Frederick County health departments that found no evidence of cancer clusters in the community surrounding Fort Detrick, even though the lymphoma rate among nearby residents was higher than the statewide average. The health agencies' study was limited by its reliance on officially reported cancer cases, the scientific experts said, but anecdotal illness reports submitted by residents weren't verifiable or reliable enough to use. As for the higher lymphoma rates, the research council team suggested that might be at least partly explained away by the Frederick area's higher-than-average population growth at the time.
The National Research Council review is unlikely to please local activists or the former evangelist, Randy White, who has hired his own experts and pressed government officials to investigate claims that biological and chemical substances tested and disposed of at Detrick caused cancers in the surrounding community. White's children grew up within a mile of the base, and his ex-wife and daughter died of cancer.
The scientific panel said further studies wouldn't be much use unless new information about past exposures turned up. Instead the experts suggested that residents' fears for their health are founded on a legacy of mistrust over the secret research conducted at the 1,200-acre installation. The panel recommended the Army work harder at communicating with the community and try to build trust through activities beyond the health reviews.
Col. Allan Darden, Fort Detrick garrison commander, issued a statement thanking the research council and all the federal and state officials involved in studies of the base's contamination impacts.
White said he was glad the research council review had found fault with the federal ground-water contamination study, but disappointed that the health department's investigation of cancer clusters could only look back seven years because of limitations with the state's cancer registry.
White called it a "tremendous slap in the face" for Frederick residents and said he planned to file a lawsuit shortly seeking additional data that he contends the Defense Department has been withholding.
Maryland's Democratic Sens. Ben Cardin and Barbara A. Mikulski issued a joint statement calling the research council review "insightful and informative" and urged moving ahead quickly with cleanup of remaining contamination at the base to alleviate residents' health concerns.

The Arab League's point-man for Syria, Qatar's foreign minister, says the league is waiting for a Syrian response to a demand that Damascus pull its tanks off the streets and start negotiations with the opposition.
Syrian security forces stormed a university campus in the southern flashpoint city of Daraa Monday, firing on students and making arrests. Military operations were also reported across scattered parts of northern Syria, as diplomats awaited Damascus' official response to Arab League demands that it stop attacking civilians and begin a dialogue with the opposition.
Arab League chief Nabil Elarabi told the French news agency that Syria was being asked to ?withdraw tanks and all military vehicles, to put an immediate end to violence, and to reassure its people.? Elarabi added that Syria must also begin talks with the opposition in Cairo.
However, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said in an interview carried on state television that his government requires a valid partner in order to enter into any dialogue:
He says a dialogue always requires two parties, and not just one. He also warns that the parties that participate must be acceptable to the Syrian people, claiming that no dialogue can be held with parties that have ties with foreign powers or ties to what he calls terrorism.
Qatar's Foreign Minister Hamad Bin Jassem Bin Jaber Al Thani gave Damascus a thinly veiled warning, insisting that reform is necessary if outside intervention of the sort which occurred in Libya is to be avoided:
He says a big tempest is shaking the entire region, and Arab leaders must learn to deal with it properly, without pretending, skirting the issues or employing fraud. Reforms are needed, he says, so as to avoid the sorts of problems which occurred in certain countries where change was difficult, destruction widespread, and many sacrifices were made.
Analyst Peter Harling of the Crisis Group predicts the Syrian opposition will start a process of militarization if the prospects for a peaceful solution evaporate:
"I think that the temptation now is to resort to weapons, and in particular if the protesters come to the conclusion that the international community is either powerless or inclined to sacrifice the Syrian people in the name regional stability," said Harling. "So, if nothing comes of this initiative, I think we'll see a shift in dynamics on the ground towards militarization of the protest movement.?
Harling adds that the Syrian government continues to depict the protest movement as ?provincial, Islamist and sectarian,? calling it a ?Sunni Muslim and underclass? phenomenon, so the authorities can "rally support from the middle and upper classes and the urban elite in Damascus and Aleppo.?
Meanwhile, an official conference was convened in Damascus Monday to revamp the constitution. Syrian state television said the meeting was the result of a decree by President Assad last August. The television also broadcast parts of a two-day economic reform conference.

Thanks to Pat of MindLoveMisery's Menagerie for hosting last Sunday's writing prompt.
There's something about love decidedly,
Painful, heart twisting, leaving jagged lines.
While once you functioned on your straight path,
You struggle to be separated, unclasped,
From your lover caught such sweet endorphins,
Feel good moments together, love morphed.
Love breaks your bones with laughter and rich mirth.
There are times you beg to be left alone,
Marking out your space, a millisecond —
Of time to yourself wished, without cleaning,
Tidying up the mess, dealing with mean,
Gestures of agonized perfection you'll,
Never live up to, with nagging so cruel.
If only it was easier to both be,
More easy going, he and you pleased.
Love breaks your bones with laughter and rich mirth.
Back under the covers hide you both,
Yourselves, to frantic lovers never clothed.
When you can forget your petty squabbles,
When skin and touch are both arrows,
To passion and renewal, to time spent,
Lounging and loving close, you both relent.
Love breaks your bones with laughter and rich mirth.

Fig Duck Recipes
Smoked Duck and Fig Tartine Recipe
"Tartine" is just a fancy word for an open-faced sandwich, using a single slice of bread with several ingredients on top. Growing up, my favorite was a tartine au Nutella, which as the name implies is a slice of bread slathered with the famous hazelnut chocolate spread.
Tartines can of course be savory, and today's recipe combines, some of my favorite and most decadent ingredients. Fresh figs and red onions from our garden, sinful brie cheese, smoked duck, homemade mayonnaise and pistachios are all irresistible in their own right, and when layered together over a toasted naan, turn any meal into an unforgettable memory. This tartine hits every note; it's sweet, smoky and extraordinarily succulent.
This may be too expensive to be worth serving at a large party. So if you plan to make these appetizers for a group, you might want to substitute another kind of meat in place of the smoked duck.

Local kids make All-Star bids in Pitch, Hit and Run
ARLINGTON -- Amy Jensen has been here before, waiting for weeks, hoping she'll hear her name.
The Texas Rangers winner of the 13-14-year-old girls division in Major League Baseball's Pitch, Hit and Run event, sponsored by Scott's, last year, Jensen waited on edge hoping she'd be one of the top three competitors in her group bound for the All-Star Game.
ARLINGTON -- Amy Jensen has been here before, waiting for weeks, hoping she'll hear her name.
The Texas Rangers winner of the 13-14-year-old girls division in Major League Baseball's Pitch, Hit and Run event, sponsored by Scott's, last year, Jensen waited on edge hoping she'd be one of the top three competitors in her group bound for the All-Star Game.
The way the Pitch, Hit and Run competition works is there are eight groups. For each age group -- 7-8-year-olds, 9-10-year-olds, 11-12-year-olds and 13-14-year-olds -- there are both boys and girls. They start at the local level, then advance to sectionals after winning locally, and then fight to represent their local MLB team. The kids with the most total points in pitching, hitting and running competitions win for their local MLB team. Among them, the top three finishers in each age group and gender among all 30 teams throughout the country, get to compete during the All-Star weekend.
Jensen won for the Rangers last year in her group, but because she wasn't one of the top three among all 30 teams, she didn't get a shot at the All-Star game.
But now, she's back for another try. And with another victory on Sunday for the Rangers, she's right on track, just like last year. She'll have to wait until the end of June to find out if she's made it to Minneapolis or not.
"Last year, she didn't do very well on her pitches," her father Richard said. "This year, she did fantastic on her pitches ... she's dedicated and she's a big-time softball player. She really loves it."
Pitching is just one of the three tasks in which participants compete. On Sunday, due to rain, the participants did the running contest on the field -- running around three cones -- as well as the batting portion, where they hit off of a tee. But pitching was moved to the main concourse area of Globe Life Park so that the participants could stay dry. Each threw toward a target that had the strike zone identified on it.
Weston Thomas, an 8-year-old out of Piedmont, Okla., who won his division for the Rangers on Sunday, said that he couldn't believe it when he found out he'd even made it to Sunday's round for the opportunity to potentially go to All-Star weekend with a victory.
"Well I was grumpy that day. I had just got home from school and I felt bad from my basketball practice," Thomas said. "My dad was like, 'Oh, we're going to go home. We have a surprise.'''
His sister prematurely broke the news before he could listen to the message on his answering machine, and immediately the celebration began.
"She said this: 'Ah, Weston, you're going to Texas,'" Thomas said. "I go, 'What? ... Yay!'"
Thomas said he thought his strongest suit was hitting, and that despite the rain, he enjoyed Sunday's competition.
One contestant, 8-year-old Chase Tengler went even farther.
"I'm feeling like a million bucks," he said.
Jensen said he's glad his daughter has participated in the competition, and that whether or not she makes it to the All-Star Game this year, he's thankful she's done it the past two seasons.
"I think it's fantastic. I think it's very important," Jensen said. "I think its very, very important and I encourage every kid to go out and participate in this."

The restart, just 18 months after the devastating tsunami and resulting nuclear Fukushima nuclear disaster last year, has sparked indignation and alarm in a Japanese society left scarred by the catastrophe.We are a nation not especially known for public protests or civil disobedience, the rolling demonstrations in Japan this week and last suggest a major shift in Japanese society.This movement against nuclear energy has been named after the Hydrangea, a flower the Japanese have traditionally loved because it blooms in June and July, giving hope during the dark, rainy season.The symbolism of the flower is strikingly synonymous with the growing civil movement against nuclear power. Born out of the aftermath of arguably one of Japan's darkest hours, the movement offers hope and is gathering in numbers – similar to how the Hydrangea forms its flower; each small flower bunches together to form a bigger, more vibrant, flower. Mass protestLast Friday, stood with trembling excitement among tens of thousands of people shouting "Saikado Hantai" (No Restart of Nuclear Plant) in front of the gate of the prime minister's office in Tokyo.The protestors had emerged to object to a decision from Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda to restart the first nuclear reactor following the 3/11 disaster. Heading up the stairs from the subway station towards the demonstration, I could already feel the powerful energy of the protest.Even mothers with small children, the future of Japan, were holding handmade banners saying "NO NUKES".Held on a Friday night, city workers in suits left their offices to join the protest after work. They too were holding placards in a protest that is truly made up of diverse parts of Japanese society. The last time I saw a crowd of people that came close to this was a march in 2003, when the Japanese people voiced their opposition to war in Iraq.This time, however, the atmosphere of the protest was different. It was not organised by an organisation and was absent of flags and banners brandishing a single group's name. Instead, people simply came to protest because they wanted to be there and directly communicate their concerns to the prime minister. That is why I felt the power of the message: it came from individuals. It was extraordinarily energizing.Changing civil societyIn 2008, I was arrested and later sentenced to a suspended prison term because I had stood up for the public good; exposing scandals in the subsidised Japanese whaling industry. It has been an extremely hard fight to have the ideal of 'freedom of expression' recognised in conservative Japanese society. Generally, people have believed that the government and big corporations are always right. A parliamentary report released this week blamed lax safety measures at the country's nuclear plants due to what it called the country's powerful and "collusive" decision-makers and on a conformist culture that allowed them to operate with little scrutiny. This is now starting to change.The 3/11 disaster has changed people's understanding and undermined their trust in the government and big corporations. Citizens have become more critical of government information and are more open to protest.Last Friday, the protest spilled over from pedestrian paths onto the six-lane road in front of the prime minister's house. Effectively, they marched on the street and occupied it. A follow-up protest will soon be held at the same location. Although the first nuclear reactor was restarted this week, I am sure that politicians are feeling the power of 'Revolution Hydrangea 紫陽花革命'.Join us, support the citizens of Japan and be part of the Hydrangea Revolution.Create a twitter storm to tell the Japanese Prime Minister Noda '#紫陽花革命'Simply copy the Japanese characters (Saikado Hantai) below to tweet @kantei, too.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------再稼働反対 Japanese Prime Minister Noda, #DontRestartNukes. @kantei #紫陽花革命---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Together we can take hold of a nuclear-free future.Saikado Hantai 再稼働反対!!

We offer Personalized --- Not Computerized Credit Repair!
No two peoples credit reports are exactly alike! So, no pre-set computer program is going to be as effective as real, skilled, credit report correction counselors. At National Credit Fixers, we are real people working hard for our clients. Of course we use technology, but we do not rely on it to perform the task of credit report repair. We do not scan credit reports and have an automated system produce duplicate dispute letters to mail to the credit reporting bureaus. We have skilled counselors that analyze your credit reports, and then determine the best possible plan for maximum results. Then we draft unique and individual letters to the credit reporting agencies, or to the creditors, collections agencies, or courthouses, depending on your unique and individual needs. NO computer program can do that! When you call our office you will not talk to a call center full of unskilled telemarketers that read a pre-written script of answers to the "most commonly asked questions".
National Credit Fixers is a reputable credit repair company that can legally remove negative items off of your credit reports, and thereby improve your credit score. Information contained in your credit file must be reported according to a law called the Fair Credit Reporting Act (F.C.R.A.). If the information isn't accurate or verifiable then it must be deleted. This means your FICO scores will go up as a result.
We use the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) which is a federal law designed to protect you from being "slandered" by creditors, collectors, and credit reporting agencies. According to the law, a disputed credit account must be accurate, complete, and verifiable for it to remain on your credit report.
All inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable accounts must be removed or updated. We have removed bankruptcy, foreclosure, repossessions, late payments, charge offs, collection accounts, judgments, and many other negative credit items.
High Credit Scores are important
Your credit score affects everything from the home you live in, to the car you drive, and maybe even the job you work in. Lenders, insurance agents, and even some employers all use your credit score to make decisions about what type of person you are. A bad credit score says that you are irresponsible with your money and are a risk to creditors. A good credit score says that you can be counted on to make your payments on time and properly settle your debts.
Most credit reports contain errors
Because your credit score is so important to you, it would make sense that the credit reports used to calculate your credit score are managed with the utmost care. Unfortunately for you and the millions of Americans with errors on their credit reports, this is not the case. Studies have shown that flaws in the credit reporting system have resulted in almost 80% of credit reports having errors. In addition, most credit reports contain misleading or out of date information that gives creditors the wrong idea of who you are as a consumer.
Odds are you have errors on your credit reports. These errors may be lowering your credit score and forcing you to pay unfair interest rates or even be denied the credit you deserve. National Credit Fixers is a credit repair company that has the tools to fix bad credit. Effective credit repair will improve your credit score. We know how to fix bad credit, let us put our knowledge to work for you!
Choosing a Credit Repair Company
Choosing a credit repair company is an important decision. Several of the large credit repair companies use a software platform called Dispute Valet, Dispute Manager, or some variation thereof. From our observation the companies that use this software inevitably fall far short of helping their customers reach the goal of great credit. We have had experience in doing credit repair since 1996. Let us use our experience for your benefit.
The Problem With Automated Services
Many credit repair companies are nothing more than automated services. There are several reasons for this. The most glaring shortfall of a software based dispute program occurs at the outset of the process. These credit repair comapnies do little more than load up a list of derogatory items from your credit report and then instruct you to pick and choose the items you wish to dispute. There is literally no personal service involved, and the quick selection of obvious derogatory information leaves the majority of possible benefit unexplored.
Real Credit Score Optimization
A truly effective credit repair service will do considerably more than dispute obvious derogatory items on your report. If you really want to optimize your credit scores and end up with usable credit you must consider everything including the number of open accounts, account types, balances, and an array of possible compliance problems on your report that a cursory review will not reveal. It is essential to select a Alaska credit repair company that will provide truly professional service and deliver the results you deserve.

There is a great deal to be gained by improving communications between family caregivers and healthcare professionals, especially physicians. Better care for the patient, less stress and illness for the caregiver, more efficient use of doctors' time, reduced costs and improved satisfaction for all concerned can be achieved when caregivers communicate effectively with physicians. To achieve effective communication, family caregivers and physicians need to gain a better understanding of each other's worlds. By trying to "walk in each other's shoes", better communication is attained.
As a family caregiver it is likely that you and your loved one have seen, or will see, the inside of a hospital more than the average person. When hospitalization occurs, there are things that you can do to feel more confident, ease your stress, and be a more effective advocate and respected member of the healthcare team.
When a cancer patient is hospitalized it may be for a procedure; to manage an acute problem, such as an infection; or because the cancer is progressing. Your role as a caregiver and advocate for yourself and your loved one is especially important at this time. Think of yourself as a member of the healthcare team, which also includes the attending physician, the hospital nurses, and a hospital social worker or case manager. Immediately upon arrival at the hospital:
You can be proactive, feel more confident in your dealings with hospital personnel and facilitate your loved one's transition into the hospital setting by providing the patient's medical history in writing, including:
This individual can help you with a range of services, including financial questions, support and discharge planning issues. Discharge planning should start as soon as you enter the hospital because it takes time to arrange home healthcare, special equipment and who will be paying for these additional expenses.
This individual is the primary doctor taking care of your loved one and will coordinate care in the hospital. The attending physician will be in communication with the other consulting physicians and often can summarize the entire treatment plan. Find out the best way to get in touch with the attending physician. At what number can the physician be reached and what times are best to call? Make sure the "face" sheet in your loved one's hospital chart contains the correct name and phone numbers. Do not hesitate to continue to ask questions until you feel comfortable with the answers.
They can answer your day-to-day questions and are an excellent source of information and support.
It is very important to start thinking about discharge planning when your loved one first enters the hospital. It is important that the discharge planner (and the nurses involved) fully understand your loved one's physical and mental capabilities, so the most appropriate help for you and your loved one can be ordered as part of the discharge plan.
Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare, also know as a healthcare agent or proxy, is the individual appointed to make decisions about medical care if your loved one cannot. That person may well be you. A healthcare agent can be assigned as part of the advance directive form.
Advance Medical Directives inform physicians and family members what kind of medical treatment and care your loved one wishes to receive in the event of his/her inability to make those decisions. A Living Will is an example of an advance medical directive. A Living Will comes into effect during an end-of-life situation. It records the specific kind of treatment and care your loved one wants at that time.

A number of different care options are available to give you time off. To access some of them you will need to be referred to your social services or local authority for an assessment. They will assess the needs of the person you care for and your needs as a carer. They will then be able to tell you about the services they can provide to meet your needs. Local authorities charge for some care services and they will give you information about how the care will be funded.
Options include:

Gunners still sweating over Ozil
Arsenal are still assessing the severity of record signing Mesut Ozil's hamstring injury.
The Germany international - a £42million buy from Real Madrid last summer - suffered the problem during Tuesday's 1-1 last-16 draw at Bayern Munich which saw Arsenal exit the Champions League.
Speaking ahead of Sunday's north London derby with Tottenham, manager Arsene Wenger told arsenal.com: "He's out. I don't know for how long but it is a hamstring injury. There are scans going on."
In a further blow, given Jack Wilshere's absence with a broken foot, midfielder Aaron Ramsey's return from a thigh injury has been delayed.
Wenger added: "We have had to defer his comeback to full training so he is not available. He is having difficulties in the final stages of his rehab. It looks to be short term."
Left-backs Kieran Gibbs and Nacho Monreal have a "good chance" of being available. Gibbs has a fitness test on Friday.
Swedish midfielder Kim Kallstrom could be in contention for his debut after signing despite a back injury, while Yaya Sanogo is available.
Wenger said: "Kallstrom joins the normal training group today and Sanogo too.
"I will have to decide if Kallstrom is okay to be in the squad on Sunday. I will see how he looks. It is not impossible."

Rigging an Audit? Well,yes, so to speak... Auditing a client company is a familiar — even commonplace— procedure to DH&S accountants. But when the client is a contract drilling company, and the audit entails a sojourn on an oil rig float-ing in the Gulf of Alaska, that otherwise commonplace procedure takes a not-so-routine turn. Such was the experience of Dallas accountants Wayne Maynard and Steve Rutherford when they audited the Alas-kan operations of Dallas-based client SEDCO, Inc. Because neither man had been to Alaska before, their anticipation en route to Anchorage last July was out-weighed only by their curiosity. "Most of the traveling that's done out of the Dallas office is to other towns here in Texas," Steve said. "But a trip to Alaska? That vi as a unique opportunity. I felt fortunate to have been chosen to go," During the two days they spent working in the SEDCO office in Anchor-age, the men discovered that much about the 49th state is indeed unique. Their first observation was that the Alaskan concept of a "long summer's day" is a lot more literal than most. "During July, it stays light for almost twenty hours a day," Wayne explained. "The sun doesn't set until about 11:30 P.M. and at 3:30 A.M. it's right back up again!" "It was also surprisingly warm," Steve commented. "Somehow I had always thought of Alaska as being covered with ice and snow —even in the summer. But during our stay in Anchorage, we were in shirt-sleeves most of the time." The warm weather and near-midnight sun also afforded Wayne and Steve more sightseeing opportunities than they had anticipated. "Because it was light until late at night, we had plenty of time after work to see the sights," Steve said. Points that both men found particularly memorable were Earthquake Park (site of the earth-quake of 1965), the spectacle of Mount McKinley (highest point in North Amer-ica) and the Portage Glacier. After two days, the men parted com-pany to carry out the second • and more unusual — phase of their assignment. From Anchorage, which Steve described as being "pretty much like any other city," Wayne and Steve headed, respec-tively, to Kodiak and Yakutat, tiny fish- ing villages on the Gulf of Alaska. "The village of Kodiak (located on an island bearing the same name) is ex-tremely remote," Wayne said. "The only ways to reach it from mainland Alaska are by ferry or plane." SEDCO employs a helicopter charter service there in order to transport workers to its offshore opera-tion. After flying for an hour and a half aboard one such helicopter, Wayne found himself a hundred miles out over the Gulf of Alaska and coming down for a landing on the football field-size deck of a semi submersible drilling rig. 'My purpose in going out to the SEDCO 708 was to test count the mate-rials and supplies inventory on board so that 1 could compare my findings with the figures on the inventory records maintained in Dallas," Wayne explained, "And, since there was no flight back to shore until the next day, I had to spend the night out there," Although the float-ing rig was clearly isolated, Wayne him-self was anything but alone during his hours on board. "There are approxi-mately one hundred people on the rig at any given time," he said. "They live in dormitory-type quarters with four people sharing each room." Wayne observed that the spectrum of ages among workers on the rig was surprisingly broad. About 30 percent, he estimated, were retired military men with specialties in mechanical and electrical work. "1 was told that the rig is powered totally by electricity produced by huge generators oil board," Wayne said, "so you can imagine the complexity of the mechanics involved. Keeping the ma- chinery in working order is one rig job that's both critical and constant. Painting is another. The exterior of the rig must be continuously recoated to protect it from the elements. "A number of the workers on board were family men," Wayne continued. "In fact, that wasn't unusual at all. I guess they had just adjusted themselves to that way of life." That way of life means alter-nating four-week stints of grueling and sometimes dangerous labor aboard the rig with four weeks of time off. Although the work is hazardous, SEDCO main-tains strict safety requirements which reduce the chances of injuries to its personnel. The tedium of the workers' schedule is allayed somewhat by the recreational facilities on board, Wayne observed. Dur-ing leisure hours the men can entertain themselves in a well-equipped game room, see a videotaped movie or use the rig telephone to call anywhere on shore via microwave relay. Technological ad-vantages notwithstanding, Wayne's atti-tude in recounting the details of his experience on the rig was clearly that "it's a nice place to visit, but..." Meanwhile, farther north off the southeast coast of the state, Steve Rutherford was garnering similar impres-sions of "life on the oil rig" while he vis-ited the SEDCO operation off the coast from Yakutat. Having left that tiny village via helicopter, Steve landed on the SEDCO 706 amid cold and rainy winds. "There was mist all the time out there," he lamented. "The weather was just miserable." 34

Inquiry Question
Reading 4: The Inauguration Ball; New York Times, March 8, 1865
"The Washington 'season' is past, and there certainly could not have been a more magnificent nor graceful finale; not alone to the Winter's gaiety, but to the ceremonies which have made Abraham Lincoln our President again for the next four years, than the time-honored National Inauguration Ball which came off last night; and it is entirely appropriate that not alone with the firing of cannon and waving of banners, in which men alone participate, but with music and dancing should we meet and celebrate this signal occasion, when the gentlemen are expected to be as gallant, and the ladies as lovely as possible.
The marble halls of the Patent-office were selected as the most commodious and best adapted in the city. The hall appropriated to dancing is two hundred and eighty feet long, by about sixty feet in width; and the floor is laid in large blocks of blue and white marble. Its decorations were really beautiful—emblems, banners, and devices being tastefully disposed on the walls, while the elaborately frescoed ceiling imparted an air of decided grandeur. Among the decorations the American flag was most prominent, while the various flags of the different army corps formed an appropriate accompaniment. A gallery at the east end was occupied by a fine brass band, which gave music for the promenade, while in the centre, on the south side, a splendid string band furnished music for the dance.
Beside this spacious hall, a wing, three hundred feet in length, was appropriated for the promenade, and a corresponding one on the opposite side for the supper-room. The music was excellent, and had several halls and the entire building been thoroughly lighted, which they were not, the effect would have been much finer. But gas is certainly not good in Washington, though said to be very abundant. On a dais, at the northern side, were sofas and chairs in blue and gold for the President and family...
As early as 9 o'clock the carriages began to arrive, and soon the ball-room was thronged. The excellent bands of music soon set the lovers Terpsichore into the graceful mazes of the dance. At about 10:30 o'clock an avant courier cleared the way from the main entrance, when his Excellency, accompanied by Speaker Colfax, entered the hall. Following was Mrs. Lincoln upon the arm of Senator Sumner. They walked down the centre of the long hall, and turning at the upper end returned mid-way to the dais, when they became seated. Mr. Lincoln was evidently trying to throw off care for the time; but with rather ill success, and looked very old; yet he seemed pleased and gratified, as he was greeted by the people. He wore a plain black suit and white gloves.Mrs. Lincoln looked extremely well, and was attired in the most elegant manner; her dress was made of white satin, very ample and rich, but almost entirely covered by a tunic or rather skirt of the finest point applique. Her corsage, which was low, and the short sleeves, were ornamented richly by a berthe made of the same material, and the shawl, also of the same rich lace, were exquisite. Passementerie of narrow fluted satin ribbon and nouds completed the dress. Her jewels were of the rarest pearls, necklace, ear-rings, brooch and bracelets. Her hair, which was put plainly back from her face, was ornamented with trailing Jessamine and clustering violets most gracefully. She looked exceedingly well with her soft, white complexion, and her toilet was faultless. Her manners are very easy and affable.
Mr. Robert Lincoln, a fine-looking young man, wearing the uniform of a Captain in the regular army, was also present.
About 11 o'clock Secretaries Seward, Welles, Attorney-General Speed and a large number of diplomats, accompanied by their wives and daughters, made their appearance. Mrs. Secretary Welles, a lady of rather petite figure, was dressed in a mode-colored silk, with black lace shawl. Mrs. Secretary Usher, of about the same stature, wore a rich dress of garnet satin, very plainly but richly made. Mrs. Postmaster-General Dennison, who is a very fine-looking lady, wore a most becoming dress of heavy black velvet, brilliant jewels and hair plainly dressed. Her daughter was in white muslin, embroidered in black. Mrs. Fred. Seward, wife of the Assistant Secretary of State, was attired in a pretty rose-colored silk handsomely trimmed. Mrs. Senator Harris, who has the appearance of a well-preserved English lady, wore a most elegant dress of corn-colored silk, trimmed with pointe applique. Mrs. Senator McDougall was also richly attired. The wife of our artist Carpenter was dressed in light silk, with a fuchu of tulle. One of the most elaborate and rich dresses in the room was worn by Mrs. George Francis Train; it was very finely plaided blue silk, trimmed with a flounce of thread lace, almost as deep as her skirt, and other laces to match. Her hair was powdered with gold. Mr. Train was also present."

Home Not So Sweet Home…
That thud you heard was just the Yankees back in the Bronx…
Sabo/NY Daily News
Unfortunately, like the first game in Arizona when the Yankees flew across the country, they were soundly defeated by their opponent shortly after stepping off the plane. This time, they had an off day to buffer jet lag but alas it didn't help.
On the mound was World Series nemesis Cliff Lee, the former Philadelphia Phillie who now temporarily resides in Seattle. Lee, the most likely to be traded by the July trading deadline, was the winner, pitching a complete game in the 7-4 victory over the Yanks. The home team did try to make it interesting in the bottom of the 9th with two runs, but it wasn't nearly enough.
William Perlman/The Star Ledger
Phil Hughes, who was skipped during his last turn in the rotation in an attempt to limit innings, had his worst outing of the season. He allowed 10 hits and 7 runs (6 earned) in 5 2/3 innings.
The only bright spot was Nick Swisher and his two home runs (giving him 13 on the season). I have to admit that I really had my doubts about Swish going into the season. I was fearful that he'd be closer to the player he was with the Chicago White Sox than the player who helped the Yankees win the World Series last year. He has definitely proven me wrong, and the team was right to let Xavier Nady walk in the off-season.
As I write this post, the Boston Red Sox are winning big against the Tampa Bay Rays, so the Yankees will most likely find themselves only one game up on the injury-decimated Red Sox later this evening.
Speaking of the Red Sox, it's time for the second installation of my lost wager. As a result of the Red Sox victory over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday, I lost a bet with Julia of Julia's Rants and now must write about a member of the Red Sox (as of Sunday's game). For today's mention, I am going to go with a player who was designated for assignment since his days with the Red Sox have come to an end.
#55 Fabio Castro
Castro, a left-handed reliever, was designated for assignment when the team added infielder Eric Patterson, who was acquired this weekend from the Oakland A's. Castro had just been called up on June 25th, but did not appear in any games. He had been on the roster for several days in April, but also did not see any action during that time either. Castro signed with the Red Sox in December after stints with the Texas Rangers and Philadelphia Phillies. He is only 25, and as a lefty, he should get another shot with some team looking for help in the bullpen if he departs the Red Sox organization.
Castro was originally signed by the Chicago White Sox as a non-drafted free agent in December 2001. He last pitched in the majors for the Phillies in September 2007.

I am trying to figure out a way to sub-divide a vector based map into smaller blocks. I can tile the map based on different strategies such as q-tree. However, it is unavoidable to cut some polylines and polygons that cross the boundaries of the blocks. By doing this, we will lose their geometric and topological attributes.
The tiled data can only be used for display but not for spatial analyses because they have partly lost their geometric and topological attributes. Do you have any suggestion or experience with sub-dividing the vector data and still maintaining their us usability for spatial analyses?
