Luna 10
Goals: This spacecraft was designed to orbit the Moon and study the lunar environment.
Accomplishments: Luna 10 was the first spacecraft to orbit the Moon. It achieved 460 orbits over 56 days before its batteries were depleted and it stopped transmitting. During that time, tracking data showed that the spacecraft's orbit was being distorted by strong irregularities in the Moon's gravity field, providing the first evidence that the Moon's internal composition wasn't uniform. It also provided data on the Moon's weak-to-nonexistent magnetic field, radiation belts, and atmosphere; its surface composition; and the region's cosmic radiation and micrometeoroid density.

After a midcourse correction on 1 April, Luna 10, the second of two hastily prepared Soviet Ye-6S probes (that is, the backup), successfully entered lunar orbit two days later at 18:44 UT, thus becoming the first human-made object to go into orbit the Moon. A 245-kilogram instrument compartment separated from the main bus, which was in a 350 x 1,000-kilometer orbit inclined at 71.9° to the lunar equator.
The spacecraft carried a set of solid-state oscillators that had been programmed to reproduce the notes of the Internationale so that it could be broadcast live to the 23rd Communist Party Congress. During a rehearsal on the night of 3 April, the playback went well, but the following morning, controllers discovered a missing note and played the previous night's tape to the assembled gathering at the Congress, claiming it was a live broadcast from the Moon.
Luna 10 conducted extensive research in lunar orbit, gathering important data on the weakness of the Moon's magnetic field, its radiation belts, and the nature of lunar rocks (which were found to be comparable to terrestrial basalt rocks), cosmic radiation, and micrometeoroid density. During that time, tracking data showed that the spacecraft's orbit was being distorted by strong irregularities in the Moon's gravity field, providing the first evidence that the Moon's internal composition wasn't uniform. Last contact was on 30 May 1966.

Bill Barretta
First appearance...
Muppets Tonight! Episode 103: Billy Crystal (1996)
Most recent appearance...
"Bohemian Rhapsody" video (2009)
Best friend...
Sal, Ma
Favorite food...
Johnny Fiama is a momma's boy (and proud of it, bub!), lounge singer, crooner-esque, Tony Bennett obsessed fellow who has his own gentleman's monkey, Sal Minella. Johnny may not look like more than a pressed suit and a diminishing singing career, but he's so much more... isn't he?
No, he is. Johnny is actually an extremely funny character whose humor derives from the situations he finds himself in with Sal at his side. Whether it's performing an impromptu rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody" after Sal spilled Mama's famous sauce ("Mama... Sal dropped da sauce..."), fending off Sal's advances after he's been pierced by Cupid's arrow, or getting a double date with the Hannah twins, Johnny and Sal are another one of those great Muppet comedy teams.
Johnny also loves his Ma more than most other things. So much so that he still lives at home with her (yeah, that's why). While this aspect of Johnny's character can also be laugh-out-loud funny--just see what happens when Johnny brings a girl home to meet Mama--it also provides a unique look at Johnny's tender side. One of the most poignant moments of the entire run of Muppets Tonight! was Johnny serenading Mama with "You and Me Against the World."
Muppets Tonight! was Johnny's first appearance in the Muppet world. On the show he hosted his own segment called "The Johnny Fiama Show," which parodied late night television shows. He also got to meet his idol, Tony Bennett, and even perform with him (after he stopped shaking).
Johnny has been included in each Muppet movie since Muppets Tonight! (excluding Letters to Santa) and each time he was on the screen he was hilarious. In Muppets From Space he and Sal cut Gonzo's cake for his alien brethren, then proceeded to hassle people about doing so. They pestered Rizzo for his Christmas-light nose and assumed Kermit was drunk in It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie. Johnny also acted as the bartender in Mrs. Bitterman's "Dot" nightclub where he got Statler and Waldorf kicked out.
Johnny's biggest role, however, was in The Muppets' Wizard of Oz as the Wicked Witch of the West's lacky. Here, Johnny had an obvious love for the Witch, calling her "Shnookums," "Mama," and other such pet names. He was the only one who mourned her melting (besides FooFoo).
Unfortunately, Johnny hasn't had a speaking appearance since The Muppets' Wizard of Oz. He and Sal did appear in the Muppet version of "Bohemian Rhapsody" in November, however. So perhaps this means we'll start seeing more of the duo again.
Johnny was one of the first main characters performed by Bill Barretta. Bill has said that Johnny was inspired by both his father and grandfather. He was even more inspired by the character Johnny Fiama that Bill portrayed in a short film made with his brother Gene that showcases the Fiama Brothers in all of their... glory.
Where did Bill say all of these things, you ask? The Muppet Mindset, duh! (End shameless plug.)
Where did Bill say all of these things, you ask? The Muppet Mindset, duh! (End shameless plug.)
As a singer, Johnny has performed many a musical number. Here are a few highlights:
- "Johnny, We Hardly Heard Ya" - A Collection of Johnny's Greatest Hits including "Theme from New York, New York" and "Hooked On a Feeling."
- "Shaking the Blues Away" - with Tony Bennett
- "Mack the Knife"
- "What the World Needs Now Is Love Sweet Love" - interrupted sporadically by Beaker and Sal
- "Pretty Bunsen"
- "A Cheap Knock Off of a James Bond Song"
- "You and Me Against the World"
- "Jingle Bells" - It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie
- "The Witch is in the House" - The Muppets' Wizard of Oz with Miss Piggy and the Flying Monkeys
Johnny rocks. I sincerely hope that we see he and Sal more in new Muppet projects soon!

text: Lyubov Kovaleva, mother of convict Vladislav Kovalev, was officially notified of her son's execution [Reuters]Two men convicted of carrying out a deadly metro bombing last year in Belarus' capital have been executed, drawing strong condemnation from activists and the European Union. The mother of one of the two 26-year-olds said that she had received official notification of the execution of her son, Vladislav Kovalyov. State television reported late Saturday that both Kovalyov and Dmitry Konovalov had been put to death, which in Belarus is done with a shot to the back of the head. Human rights activists condemned the hasty executions, saying they deprived society of the opportunity to learn the truth. "The government was in a rush to throw a white shroud over all the contradictions and discrepancies in the case," activist Lyudmila Gryaznova said on Sunday. "The execution of the so-called terrorists, whose guilt remains under suspicion, gives the appearance that the government is concealing the traces of the crime." Metro bombing The men were convicted in November of planting a bomb in Minsk's busiest underground metro station that killed 15 people and wounded more than 300 in April. Konovalov had acknowledged his guilt. Investigators said Kovalyov was aware of the plans to bomb the metro, but he insisted he did not take part and pleaded not guilty. Their defence lawyers said the evidence presented in court was circumstantial and inconclusive. Critics of authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko accused his government of staging the bombing to divert attention from the worst economic crisis in the country's post-Soviet history. Belarusians angered by the executions came to lay flowers or light candles outside the metro station on Sunday. "The government shot these boys so quickly that I have even more doubts about their guilt," Tatyana Snezhinskaya, a 42-year-old teacher, who was among those laying flowers, said. "The death penalty should be abolished. We should not take the lives of people, especially of those who might be the victims of judicial errors or political orders." Flowers also were laid outside Belarus' embassy in Moscow, where someone had placed a sign with photographs of the two men and the words: "They were killed on Lukashenko's whim." EU condemnation Germany's government condemned the executions and said they would further alienate Belarus from Europe. "Lukashenko thus drifts even further away from our European values," Ronald Pofalla, Chancellor Angela Merkel's chief of staff, said. "The already heavily burdened relation between Belarus and Europe will be rendered yet more difficult by this." Markus Loening, the German government's top human rights official, called Lukashenko "a dictator without heart or mercy". Last month, the European Union toughened sanctions imposed on Belarus over the repression of the political opposition, and EU members recalled their ambassadors after Belarus asked the head of the EU delegation in Minsk and the Polish ambassador to leave the country. European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton also criticised the executions. A statement issued by her spokesman said Ashton is "aware of the terrible crimes that these two men were accused of and her thoughts are withthe victims and their families," but at the same time she "notes that the two accused were not accorded due process, including the right to defend themselves". Lukashenko last week ignored appeals from Ashton and others for clemency. The time and place of executions in Belarus are kept secret. Relatives of those executed are notified afterward, if at all, and are not told where the bodies are buried. Belarus is the only country in Europe that still puts people to death, and rights activists claim that around 400 people have been executed since the 1991 Soviet collapse. Europe Belarus

Thanks for the translation. Does anybody have a link to the manga pages?
Well it looks like we've finally gotten a look at Rakshas' apostle form now, compared to his usual look he looks totally monstrous in that final page.
So the fire extinguisher that Rickert was working with was, in some ways, Chekhov's gun.
Rickert refers to Rakshas as "戦魔". (A name for Griffith's apostle soldiers, though Rakshas still hasn't show his apostle form so far.)
I'm not really sure about that. It's possible that he is already in his apostle form; it's just hidden under his cloak.
Also, did Dark Horse officially named him "Raksas"? Though I'd still prefer Rakshas, maybe it would be better to stay with the official spellings.
his arms have twisted into enormous tentacles, on top of sprouting an extra pair which is something we've never seen before.
To be honest I think I might prefer the old mask even though the new one is nice.
Well it looks like we've finally gotten a look at Rakshas' apostle form now, compared to his usual look he looks totally monstrous in that final page. His mask is also a much bigger departure from the original design than i would have guessed, but damn it looks great.
Really looking forward to seeing how everything plays out now, Seems like Rickert's departure (if he even makes it that far and doesn't wind up in some Falconia jail cell) isn't going to be nearly as quick and clean as i thought it would.
As was made clear by episode 339, Rakshas isn't hiding under the cloak: he is the cloak. Look at your own pictures: he is basically a monster made up of fabric. Whatever head and organs he has must be distributed within the cloth.
Do you think this statement could be accurate somehow : "Burn the cloak = problem solved"? (Now I'm not saying that it'd be easy to do though)
Destroying the "cloak" one way or another would spell the end of Rakshas since they are one and the same, but that's not saying much.
Rakshas: "I will kill the Falcon by my own hand someday." (私
何時か殺したい鷹をこの手で。Not sure what he means here )
BTW Nymoath... is the fire caused by the cannon the Tapasa fire...?
I'm curious to see the context of that line. Is he joking? Was he being sincere about that desire all this time? (And if so how could he possibly still think that'll happen given Ganishka's failed attempt?) And why would he even bring that up now? I look forward to having those questions answered.
the scratch
The thing is that I just found that I've made a big mistake in the original post. The Tapasa didn't fire a "cannonball" at Rakshas. What they really did is filling Rickert's fire extinguisher with burning oil instead of water, and poured it on Rakshas. So yes, that's a "Chekhov's gun".
Here's a little more of the episode: the "cannon" and the scratch. (I've tried my best to make the pictures clearer, trust me. )
I'm not sure what that line really means. Forgive my terrible Japanese. But he has once made that statement before. Didn't he?
Well of course it was simply put. I don't think it'd be as easy as saying it. Maybe this is why they try to set him on fire though?

So yes, that's a "Chekhov's gun".
That's very likely to be right I guess. But at least he's got a face somewhere in that cloak. Wonder if he has blood?
We'll see when we have a proper translation, however, like I mentioned when episode 338 came out, I think it's pretty clear what his motivations are here: he's after Rickert because of the slap. Griffith's head is "his", and he won't allow anyone else to lay their hands on it. Basically, he's sticking to his strange logic regarding why he protects Griffith. This can also be taken as a hint that he was not ordered to go after Rickert by Griffith.
Oh, so I was right about the device being used as a flamethrower. I shall from now on be referred to as THE PROPHET.
That's true, and for the record that's what I'm thinking too. It's just hard to read what he's thinking. The man has an incredible poker face.
Seriously though, I'm sincerely in awe at how in tune you are with how Miura thinks and what direction Berserk is going to go in. I've been dead wrong with every single prediction I've ever made even when it seemed so obvious to me. I applaud your skill, good sir. It's truly incredible.

The Vatican's ongoing international crackdown on liberal-minded priests has opened up a new front: nuns.
This week it was revealed that the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has been secretly investigating the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, the largest and most influential group of Catholic nuns in the United States.
It appears that Pope Benedict, who once led the Vatican's powerful doctrinal office, has lost none of his enthusiasm for the job. Once derisively nicknamed 'God's Rottweiler' for his tendency to confront any liberalizing tendency within the church or its theology, his election has been greeted by conservatives in the church as 'the end of the progressive project.'
On Wednesday the powerful Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, led by Cardinal William Levada, the former archbishop of San Francisco, announced that a secret investigation into the nuns group had found 'serious doctrinal problems.'
The Vatican claimed that members of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious had challenged church teaching on homosexuality and the male-only priesthood, and had promoted what they called 'radical feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith.'
According to a report in The New York Times the nuns were also strongly reprimanded for making statements that 'disagree with or challenge the bishops, who are the church's authentic teachers of faith and morals.'
The implication is quite clear: men (bishops) are the only authentic interpreters of God's will; women (nuns) are not and will no longer be permitted to challenge them on any point.
In 2010 during the protracted negotiation over the Obama administrations historic health care plan, many conservative American bishops opposed it but dozens of nuns signed a statement supporting it, believing it would help the poor. The nun's support proved to be a crucial pillar in the administration's battle over the health care plan.
The Leadership Conference is a diverse association of women's religious communities with over 1,500 members who represent 80 percent of the Catholic sisters in the United States. But on Wednesday when word of the Vatican's doctrinal crackdown was announced, the conference's remembers were taken completely by surprise.
'I'm stunned,' Sister Simone Campbell, the executive director of Network, a Catholic social justice lobby founded by sisters, told the New York Times.
Her group was cited in the Vatican document for focusing too much on poverty and economic injustice, while keeping 'silent' on abortion and same-sex marriage.
'I would imagine that it was our health care letter that made them mad,' Sister Campbell said. 'We haven't violated any teaching, we have just been raising questions and interpreting politics.'
They nun's group has reportedly been given up to five years to revise it's statutes> From now on they must approve of every speaker at the group's public programs. A handbook they used to facilitate dialogue will no longer be permitted, since the issues it discusses are non-negociable settled doctrine.
It's understood that whilst the Vatican investigated the Leadership Conference, they have also conducted a separate widespread investigation of all women's religious orders and communities in the United States.
That other crackdown, euphemistically known as a 'visitation,' concluded in 2011 but the results of the investigation have not been published.
The Vatican can still expect pushback from priests and nuns, however. At the weekend Rev. Tim Clark of Seattle's Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church received a standing ovation from his parishioners when he announced his parish would not be participating in a campaign to undo the state's recent marriage equality law.
According to Seattle Post the parish is the sixth in Seattle to opt out of a petition drive for Referendum 74, which was endorsed and submitted to the parishes by Archbishop J. Peter Sartain.

CHAPEL HILL – 140 West—the eight-story, $55 million development on Franklin Street – has been more than a decade in the making. And the town will gather Friday night to celebrate its grand opening.
"We knew that there was work to be done in Downtown is we were going to create a more diverse commercial atmosphere and that we needed folks to be living in Downtown," said Chapel Hill Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt.
The public is invited to join the festivities at 7 p.m—Mayor Kleinschmidt will be there along with other town leaders. The event will also feature a dedication of the public art installation, Exhale, created by landscape architect Mikyoung Kim.
RAM Real Estate Chairman Peter Cummings; the company signed-on as the developer in 2005.
"There are opportunities like 140 West that are in locations that have the potential to have a significant impact outside its boundaries," Cummings says.
He says it's been a long process but seeing the final product makes it worth it.
"I saw the lights on in the building and if you're in this business and you don't get excited when you see the lights on in the building at night—you should be in a different business," Cummings said.
Both men say 140 West is a piece of the puzzle of how to connect West and East Franklin Street.
"We're hoping that this will create a new sense of vibrancy particularly in that part of Downtown. We are expecting it will be of great benefit to our commercial tax base and continue to inspire others to invest as well," Kleinschmidt said.
The land was originally a parking lot. Talks of the need for something like 140 West began in 2001
"What we're hoping is that folks can really experience the fullness of what Downtown offers," Kleinschmidt said. "When you park you car at one end of the street, there isn't a space where you decide to turn around walk back. This provides that bridge."
The mixed-use facility features 26,000 square feet of outdoor public space, including the area called The Plaza, at the corner of West Franklin and Church streets. The site also has 26,000 square feet of retail space.
Lime Fresh Mexican Grill is the first business to be up and running. Gigi's Cupcakes and Eye Car Center are slated to open over the summer as well.
Above the retail space are 140 condos, including 18 affordable housing units. Below is an underground parking deck.
Cummings says about 105 of the total 140 residences have been sold. He says the selling prices range from the mid-$300s to more than $1 million.
"It's an opportunity to inspire other investment in Downtown to help create that critical and diverse commercial environment," Kleinschmidt said.
Free Public Parking Information:
The following lots will be available on a first-come, first-served basis:
• 140 West Parking Deck – Level P-1 – Free parking after 4 p.m.
• University Square West Lot Blues Spaces Only – Free after 6 p.m.
• West Rosemary Lot – 104 W. Rosemary St., Free after 6 p.m.
• Malette Street Municipal Lot 1.25 per hour — Free after 8 p.m.
• UNC Development Lot – 307 W. Rosemary St., available after 5 p.m.

The Canadian carrier Virgin Mobile is looking for beta testers to try out new mobile phones the company will be stocking. This is also including the HTC 8S where if you register your interest (and are chosen) you'll receive the device and it could well be yours to keep for free. It's simple to get involved and the potential reward is a brand new Windows Phone.
"We've got the hottest phones and we want you to test them. We're building an army of super-savvy Member phone lovers. Give us some info and tell us why you're the one for the job. If you can prove that you're creative and cool enough, we'll give you a free upgrade to one of our hottest new smartphones."
There's a form on Virgin's website which will need to be filled in (there's also a warning for participants to ensure a large enough data allowance is on the account before applying). Should the company choose you, you'll be required to take the HTC 8S for a spin and provide four Twitter tips or tricks over the course of four weeks.
Sounds to us like a good deal, and it's great to see another carrier getting involved and spreading the word about Windows Phone. If you're interested, be sure to head on over to Virgin Mobile's website to sign up and see if you're chosen.

Thank this author by sharing:
By Leo Peysakhovich,
Recently, when I chatted about SQL Server issues, I found the following email:
"Is anyone aware of any freeware/shareware tools that can assist in identifying unused objects in a database? I have inherited a database from a previous developer, and there seems to be a lot of unused database objectsin the database. I know than Apex SQL clean can do the job, but my boss won't agree to the purchase the tool. Any suggestions would be appreciated."
How many times have we had such an answer from the boss!
So, I started to check the ways to define the unused objects without using any tools. I understand that tools may do the job better but I was interesting to do it myself at least just for basic analysis and for fun.
You know that in many cases deletion of unused objects will help make easier and quicker development maintenance and may improve the efficiency and the performance of a database. There are many methods that can be used. At the end, the main task is to answer what objects were not used for the month or two. I am saying a month or two because the time depends on the fact that a database may be used not only by the applications but by the backend processes as well. For example, in my company we have daily, weekly and monthly processes that define the time of how often object may be used. The task can be achieved with many methods, one of them by using SQL Profiler, but it
will require keeping the tool running constantly for a long time which is not practical and may even degrade the system's performance.
In my company the task becomes a little bit easier by knowing the fact that any database can be accessed only via call to a stored procedure. E.g. I have to split the task to the 2 sequential subtasks:
The main idea of my method is to constantly query the system cache to find the procedures that have no
execution plan for long periods of time. This can be achieved by using system table syscacheobjects which contains information on how the cache is used. Syscacheobjects belongs to the master database. At first glance, it may be hard to fully appreciate the value of this technique and the information produced by the output report but the method is very easy and provides a very accurate picture for the unused stored procedures. The technique is not as flawless as it may appear, but it offers a good available way for DBAs to find unused stored procedures, functions and the other objects by checking the database-execution plans.
Let's see the step by step and ideas and implementation. Will check an idea by analyzing the cache behavior for one procedure USP_Checkuser
select name, id from sysobjects where name = 'USP_Checkuser'
name id
------------------------------------------------------- -----------
USP_Checkuser 1093578934
select bucketid, cacheobjtype, objtype, objid, dbid
from master.dbo.SYSCACHEOBJECTS
where dbid = 6 and objid = 1093578934
bucketid cacheobjtype objtype objid dbid
---------- ----------------- -------- ----------- ------
545 Executable Plan Proc 1093578934 6
545 Compiled Plan Proc 1093578934 6
sp_recompile 'dbo.USP_Checkuser'
Object 'dbo.USP_Checkuser' was successfully marked for recompilation
select bucketid, cacheobjtype, objtype, objid, dbid
from master.dbo.SYSCACHEOBJECTS
where dbid = 6 and objid = 1093578934
bucketid cacheobjtype objtype objid dbid
----------- ----------------- -------- ---------- ------
Exec dbo.USP_Checkuser
select bucketid, cacheobjtype, objtype, objid, dbid
from master.dbo.SYSCACHEOBJECTS
where dbid = 6 and objid = 1093578934
bucketid cacheobjtype objtype objid dbid
---------- ----------------- -------- ----------- ------
545 Executable Plan Proc 1093578934 6
545 Compiled Plan Proc 1093578934 6
If you would like to make sure that object is marked for recompilation the next statement will show you the changes in object base schema and schema versions:
select name, id, base_schema_ver,schema_ver from sysobjects
where name = 'USP_Checkuser'
name id base_schema_ver schema_ver
------------------------------------------- ---------- --------------- -----------
USP_Checkuser 1093578934 48 48
name id base_schema_ver schema_ver
------------------------------------------- ---------- --------------- -----------
USP_Checkuser 1093578934 64 64
As you can see the fields
base_schema_ver and schema_ver are changing the value from 48 to 64. Every time
the procedure will be marked for recompilation the field's value will be
Step one is to cleanup the
cache by using the stored procedure sp_recompile that causes stored procedures
and triggers to be recompiled the next time they are run. Or DBCC FREEPROCCACHE
can be used to clear the procedure cache. Freeing the procedure cache would
cause, for example, an ad-hoc SQL statement to be recompiled rather than reused
from the cache. While you do this the object name and id can be written into the
table to show the time the cache for the object was cleared.
create table MONIT_ObjectRecompilation (
MOR_ID int not null identity(1,1),
SEQ_ID int,
DB_NM varchar(50),
Object_NM varchar(200),
ObjectID int,
Object_type varchar(2),
Status char(1),
-- R - recompiled;
-- S - from syscaheobject table
Create_DT datetime default( getdate() ) )
The next step is to add each existing object while marking it for the recompilation. It can be done dynamically by the next batch.
declare @minid int,@maxid int, @cmd Nvarchar(1000)
, @dbnm varchar(50), @seq_id int, @objectid int
declare @tmp table ( objectid int, rcmd varchar(1000), tid int identity(1,1))
set @dbnm = db_name()
select @seq_id = max(seq_id) from dbo.MONIT_ObjectRecompilation
set @seq_id = ISNULL(@seq_id,0) + 1
insert into @tmp( rcmd, objectid)
select 'EXEC sp_recompile ['+ name + ']' , id
from sysobjects
where type in ('P', 'FN', 'TR', 'TF')
select @minid = 1, @maxid = max(tid) from @tmp
while (@minid <= @maxid)
select @cmd = rcmd, @objectid = objectid from @tmp where tid = @minid
EXEC sp_executesql @cmd
insert into dbo.MONIT_ObjectRecompilation
( SEQ_ID, DB_NM , Object_NM, objectID, Object_Type, Status)
select @seq_id, @dbnm, name, id, type, 'R'
from dbo.sysobjects
where id = @objectid
select @minid = @minid +1
Next step will be inserting into the table the objects that are not recompiled yet. I setup a job that inserted a not compiled list of objects to the table. The job is running every 10 minutes.
declare @dbnm varchar(50), @seq_id int
set @dbnm = db_name()
select @seq_id = max(seq_id) from dbo.MONIT_ObjectRecompilation
set @seq_id = ISNULL(@seq_id,0) + 1
insert into dbo.MONIT_ObjectRecompilation (SEQ_ID, DB_NM, Object_NM, objectID, Object_Type, Status)
select @seq_id, @dbnm, so.name, so.id, so.type, 'S'
from dbo.sysobjects so
left join master.dbo.SYSCACHEOBJECTS sc
on sc.objid = so.id
left join master.dbo.sysdatabases sd
on sd.dbid = sc.dbid and sd.name = @dbnm
where so.type in ('P', 'FN', 'TR', 'TF')
and sc.objid is null
This job will run for a month before I can define a usage of the stored procedures and functions. Then, let's find unused procedures and functions. If object name is in every insert for non recompiled object then the object is never was used.
declare @seq_id int
select @seq_id = max(seq_id) from adm_support.dbo.MONIT_ObjectRecompilation
select DB_NM, Object_NM, objectID, Object_Type, Status, count(*)
from dbo.MONIT_ObjectRecompilation mor
where mor.status = 'S'
group by DB_NM, Object_NM, objectID, Object_Type, Status
having count(*) = (@seq_id - 1)
Seq_id 1 was used to get all recompiled objects.
The research can be extended by usage of additional columns from table syscacheobjects that will allow you to analyze all databases on a server, how often object is used, and get over unknown ad-hoc queries and users who runs them as well as to see the first 128 characters of the statements.
Type of object in the cache:
Compiled PlanExecutable PlanParse TreeCursor Parse TreeExtended Stored Procedure
Type of object:
Stored ProcedurePrepared statementAd hoc query (Transact-SQL submitted as language events from isql or osql, as opposed to remote procedure calls)ReplProc (replication procedure)TriggerViewDefaultUser tableSystem tableCheckRule
One of the main keys used for looking up an object in the cache. This is the object ID stored in sysobjects for database objects (procedures, views, triggers, and so on). For cache objects such as ad hoc or prepared SQL, objid is an internally generated value.
Database ID in which the cache object was compiled.
Indicates the creator of the plan for ad hoc query plans and prepared plans. -2 indicates the batch submitted does not depend on implicit name resolution and can be shared among different users. This is the preferred method. Any other value represents the user ID of the user submitting the query in the database.
Number of times this cache object has been used since inception.
Procedure name or first 128 characters of the batch submitted.
Your database may have many stored procedures, tables and views that aren't being used anymore but unless you determine which of your objects fall into this category you will be stuck with them forever. The technique described in the article is not as flawless as it may appear, but it offers a good available way for DBAs to find unused stored procedures, functions and the other objects by checking the database-execution plans without buying any third party tools. The captured information also may offers some great clues about what database objects you need to pay attention.

Maintaining a home is a full time job. There is no denying it. It takes time and energy to keep a home running peacefully and harmoniously. Whether you can be home full time or not, there is a need for organization to maintain this restful environment through which our husbands, children, and friends can find solace. Until recently, you could find many small to-do lists, schedules, menu plans, scattered random receipts, financial notes, papers, and the like spread out over my home. Some might be in the office, some in the kitchen, some in my purse. I had a haphazard cleaning schedule in the back of my mind. I had a homemaking notebook but it only had some random articles that I wanted to save and not much more. Do you experience this scattered feeling?
I suddenly got inspiration after viewing some of Stephanie's planning pages to get organized in this area. I am so glad that I did. I collected everything into one home planning notebook. Ahh…so much more peaceful. I wanted to share with you what my homemaking planner looks like…but be sure that your notebook can take any shape or form. I pray this might provide you with some inspiration to get started. Organization is an important habit to cultivate, and I need it just as much as the next homemaker.

Alfresco Optimizes Its Enterprise Content Platform for Amazon Web Services
Secure collaboration and enterprise file sharing now available three ways hosted on AWS
Atlanta, GA. — December 20, 2012 —Today Alfresco announced that its open platform for business critical content management is enhanced and available for Amazon Web Services (AWS). Customers in industries such as finance, government and healthcare can now use Alfresco hosted on AWS in three distinct ways based on their specific functionality and security needs.
"Alfresco has seen a rising demand for cloud content management and secure file sharing in the cloud," explained David Gildeh, Director of Cloud Services at Alfresco. "But the one-size-fits-all approach of SaaS-only cloud services doesn't meet the diverse requirements of our enterprise customers. Complex, global organizations require flexibility and choice in how they deploy – and that is exactly what Alfresco hosted on AWS offers."
Alfresco can now be used three ways powered by AWS:
- Full SaaS application. Alfresco in the cloud is the company's online collaboration service for enterprise documents hosted on AWS. Alfresco in the cloud is for simple, business-class collaboration with mobile access and file sharing.
- Alfresco Enterprise hosted on AWS. The full Alfresco enterprise content management (ECM) platform is now available as an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) in the Amazon Marketplace. Use Alfresco Enterprise as a private instance hosted on AWS for greater control over configuration and customization as well as integration with existing networks or enterprise systems. Many customers configure Alfresco Enterprise hosted on AWS as a secure file-sharing solution in the cloud, fully managed by their own IT department.
- Alfresco One Hybrid ECM. Customers can deploy a full, private instance of Alfresco Enterprise hosted on AWS for business critical document management behind the firewall and then sync files or folders to Alfresco in the cloud.
Alfresco hosted on AWS is the same proven platform that is used by over 3,000 enterprises globally for business critical document management, secure collaboration and enterprise file sharing. Alfresco can be used to automate loan processes, streamline insurance claims, manage confidential legal contracts and file government records. More recently, Alfresco has been deployed as a secure enterprise file sharing solution, complete with native mobile apps and a desktop sync client (currently in beta).
"As an AWS Premier Consulting Partner, we are excited to be partnering with Alfresco to deliver a secure mobile collaboration solution to the market on AWS," said Sri Vasireddy, Chief Cloud Officer of 8KMiles. "Alfresco is a modern content management solution that has been optimized for AWS, making it a perfect platform to build robust, secure, enterprise content solutions."
Along with three ways to use Alfresco hosted on AWS, the company will also support S3 storage and RDS to give customers ultimate flexibility when incorporating AWS into Alfresco implementations.

ecmullen needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 112 designs submitted by 41 freelance designers.
Point of Purchase Advocacy/Consumer Choices/Get Out Their Voice
We're a grass roots public affairs firm that specializes in engaging consumers and educating them about pending public policy debates. We then connect interested people to their elected officials, using proprietary technology, right there and then so they can dialogue about the issue.
I attached a logo I commissioned earlier this year which captures the essence of the attitude.
Government affairs professionals and communications executives for fortune 500 companies.
Crisp, clean use of non-pastel colors and images or shapes that illicit a sense of public purpose and high technology. Think "people power meets the iPad" or "raise taxes on grapes and there will be hell to pay",
I need the logo and color scheme to build out the marketing web-page and for banner advertising to attract job applicants.

Bharat Ki Jeet...

A good assessment, though I wouldn't agree with 1 or 2 points.
Yes, the best part is that we have done away with caste politics, isn't it ? Even Mayavathi was mercilessly thrown out of the map along with her & her elephant statues & Rs 1000 notes' malas. Good riddance. Now the tigress is licking her wounds somewhere. Even dalits carefully avoided the caste trap. Total awareness & a high voter turnout & a buoyant stock market (Neeche aane ka naam hi nahin leta)! Muslims have voted for NaMo in a big way. Now it is time to remove the shameful "caste" column from all the application forms which can be found nowhere in the world & to give the financially backward & deserving students scholarships.
Another important aspect of this election is the woman power. Jayalalitha has won 38 seats driving DMK to 1 seat (Kani, Karuna etc swept out of the map). Mamta has won 34 seats. Apart from these wins Kiran Kher from Chandigarh, Hema malini from Mathura, Harsimrat Kaur badal from Punjab, Sushma Swaraj from Vidisha, Sonia Gandhi from rae Bareli (against all odds. You have to give it to her & rahul Gandhi who are the only ones who have won in CONgress), Maneka Gandhi from Pilibhit have won. Meenakshi Lekhi has won in New Delhi with a large margin. That is huge !!! We don't need any 30% "Biksha". We have proved that we can rise on our own & contribute to the victory. Only the other day we celebrated "International womens' day". But I wonder whether any other country will have so many women participating in elections & winning. I'm proud to be an Indian today & I congratulate all these women for the hard work they have put to achieve what they have. (Hema Malini !!!) Except Jaya Pradha & Smriti Irani everybody has won. Let's be proud of the fact that women power have contributed in a big way in this election. At least now the RSS should consider us as entities & should not brush our problems under the carpet.

As usual, you are right.
I have been saying that Modi would register a thumping win, but he ought to be careful about those knaves with the knives.
Here are some links:
The links would give you an idea as to how consistent I have been.
Let us understand some of the basics:
[1] The Indian and the foreign media had been predicting a Modi win [not this massive, though] for the past 3 months.
[2] The main representatives of the main foreign regimes of the world - USA, UK, EU, Aussies etc made a beeline to Modi, fell over each other offering him visas. So, they had seen the writing and righting on the wall.
[3] Indian industrialists, the top babus ... all of the jokers in politics, police ... the works ... of all hues, religions, regions etc knew the writing on the wall and that would perhaps accounts for the huge amounts spent in the run up before, during and even after the polling in many states ... to ensure where voting was to take place and all that.
So everyone who mattered - including you - knew who the new PM would be.
And you asked that question about the money spends in one of the TV shows ... hitting the nail on the head again! Good, Great! Enjoyed it!

Regional politics and politicians will be difficult to deal with. Seems modi is overtly friendly with jayalalitha which may upset Karnataka and seemandhra pradesh. The locals of these two states hate tamilians. The shivsena's friendship with BJP will not be welcome in some quarters of north India if the sena parties start their anti northindia politics once again. The northeast has its own set of problems peculiar to them. Not to forget insurgency in Kashmir and naxalite terrorism.
It is easy to brainwash, bombard the electorate and win elections and it is not easy to rule a country as vast and as diversified as India. The Vadra factor ruined the dynasty beyond repair. Mayawati has an all india appeal if she can use her dalit card intelligently. I am thankful that India was saved from Mulayam singh or shard Pawar becoming prime ministers by default. About Jayalalitha and mamata, the less said the better.

U.S. agricultural equipment manufacturers experienced a 9% growth in exports for the first half of 2007. The biggest increase in exports was to South America where equipment shipped was up 36% from a year before for a total of $297 million. Farm equipment exports to Europe rose 25% for a total of $2 billion, and exports to Asia were up 7% for a total of $375 million.
Countries with the greatest increase in U.S. equipment exports for the first six months include the Ukraine with a 113% increase for a total of $142 million; Russia with a 112% increase for a total of $279 million; and Brazil with a 52% increase for a total of $113 million. Canada remains the biggest buyer of U.S. farm equipment, though, for a total of $1.15 billion, which is down 3% for the time period. — Association of Equipment Manufacturers

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (May 8, 2014) – Because she has earned her degree in just three years and plans to begin her professional playing career following the completion of this 2013-14 season, ETSU junior Gabriella Wahl (Heidenheim, Germany) knows all too well that this is her last opportunity to play in the NCAA postseason.
And if Thursday's first round in the NCAA East Regional at the Southwood Golf Club was any indication, she plans to make the most of it.
Wahl carded a score of 4-under-par 68 to finish tied for third individually, and her efforts helped power the No. 43-ranked Buccaneers into a tie for sixth on the team leaderboard following the opening day of play. The Bucs must finish in the top eight to advance to the NCAA Championships, which are set to begin May 20 at the Tulsa Country Club in Tulsa, Okla.
"The ladies played well and put us in great position going into our morning round tomorrow" said ETSU assistant coach Lauren Stratton, who is on the road with the team as head coach Stefanie Shelton is on maternity leave. "I am very proud of everyone and the way they battled in the wind this afternoon. We're ready to get back out there for the second round."
The Bucs combined for 13 birdies as a team and finished the day at 289. They are currently ahead of seven teams that have higher Golfstat.com rankings, including No. 5 South Carolina and No. 8 Stanford. In addition, the 289 total is the second-best opening round in NCAA Regional play for ETSU, only four shots behind the 285 the Bucs shot at the 2010 East Regional.
No. 12-ranked Vanderbilt currently leads the event at 11-under 277, three strokes ahead of second place and No. 34-ranked Tulane at 280. Individually, Wahl is three strokes back of Tulane's Emily Penttila, who holds the individual lead after posting a score of 7-under 65 on Thursday.
Wahl, a three-time All Atlantic Sun Conference performer, opened the event with four birdies in her first five holes, but she was not alone in powering the Bucs. Senior Sian Evans (Gillingham, England) shot an even-par 72 to finish tied for 28th, and freshman Linda Dobele (Ogre, Latvia) showed no signs of nerves in her first regional appearance, carding three birdies on the back nine to finish with a solid round of 2-over 74. Meanwhile, A-Sun individual medalist Vivienne Chin (Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia) shot a three-over par 75.
Second round play is set to start Friday morning. Fans can watch live scoring by visiting Golfstat.com and clicking on the East Regional link, and ETSUBucs.com will also provide a complete wrap up following each day's play.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Apple Inc. investors have had a good news/bad news kind of week so far, with a very optimistic report on expectations that the next iPhone will indeed have a larger screen, countered by negative details emerging from a new book on the company.
Brian Marshall, an analyst with ISI Group, wrote in a note over the weekend that the next iPhone will have the larger screen size now standard in rival smartphones. He predicted that this "motherlode of upgrades" with two new larger screen iPhones this summer, will help it regain some of the market share lost to Android phones. Many "Android switchers," will come back, he wrote.
But the boost its shares have gotten this week — Apple is up 2% since Monday — from that analysis was dampened by emerging stories from "Haunted Empire: Apple After Steve Jobs," a just-published book on Apple AAPL, -0.22% written by former Wall Street Journal reporter Yukari Kane.
Already Apple has come out swinging about the thesis behind "Haunted Empire," which posits that the company's best days are behind it. Chief Executive Tim Cook gave a statement to CNBC Tuesday. "This nonsense belongs with some of the other books I've read about Apple," Cook told CNBC. "It fails to capture Apple, Steve, or anyone else in the company....I am very confident about our future. We've always had many doubters in our history. They only make us stronger."
Probably among the most interesting details to emerge for investors is Kane's reporting that Jobs appeared to have had an about-face on Apple's plans to shake up the TV business.
According to her book, which also takes a view that Apple's best days are behind it, at the company's "Top 100" meeting of executives and employees at an off-site resort, someone asked Jobs if Apple was going to conquer the TV business next. "No," Jobs said, according to Kane's book, published by Harper Collins, part of News Corp. NWSA, +2.00% which also is the owner of MarketWatch and The Wall Street Journal. "TV is a terrible business. They don't turn over and the margins suck."
Investors have already been dealing with concerns that Apple TV may not be the product that some on Wall Street had hoped for, one that would upend the television business with an easy-to-use system and set-top box integrating both web content and broadcast TV. In the 2011 biography "Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson, Jobs tells his biographer that he "finally cracked" TV. Since the book was released, many have held out hopes that Apple TV, currently a set-top box, would also include an Apple-designed high definition TV and integration with all Apple devices.
But it is now years since that statement was made to Isaacson. Still no TV has emerged beyond the company's set-top box, and content deals with the cable companies have reportedly been tough to negotiate. The impending merger between Comcast Corp. CMCSA, +1.37% and Time-Warner Cable Inc. US:TWC is also believed to be bad for Apple's efforts to get more ambitious programming on its box. Apple does not comment on unannounced products.
Now, with Kane's book reporting Jobs's additional comments about TV, investors are back to square one, looking ahead to the iPhone as the potential driver. They have also been speculating about a potential Dick Tracy-like watch called the iWatch and more recently CarPlay, a feature in Apple's mobile operating system that integrates the iPhone with the dashboard of new cars in the works from General Motors, Mercedez-Benz and Honda.
"While new product introductions such as CarPlay and a potential new iWatch or iTV are important for ecosystem development and brand-building, iPhone remains the critical driver of the story at about 60% of gross profits," Marshall wrote in his note on Sunday. "We believe the stock is not reflecting solid sales/EPS upside potential from the upgrade cycle."
So until Apple releases anything in the tantalizing arena of wearable computing or any other arena, the iPhone will dominate investor psychology.

GRANDVIEW - "It's not always easy to identify a gang member by the clothes they are wearing," said Grandview Police Officer Rick Abarca as he spoke to parents at a parent information night held at Grandview's Harriet Thompson Elementary School last night.
He informed the parents that there are a number of children within the community who live in homes with relatives involved in gangs. Those children are influenced from an early age.
Because of that, Abarca said talking to children about gangs "just as you do about drugs" is important. He suggested parents begin talking to children from an early age, stating they are more difficult to communicate with as they reach pre-teen and teenage years.
He asked the parents if they knew the definition of a gang and explained, "A gang is defined by the state as a group of three or more people who interact among themselves to the exclusion of others." The definition didn't stop there, as Abarca explained gang members often state police officers are members of a gang.
A gang claims a neighborhood or territory, wears colors and engages in criminal activity or anti-social behavior on a regular basis.
"Gang prevention starts at home," said Abarca.
He said by the age of 13, it is difficult to remove a child from gang involvement. If a parent discovers the child is involved in a gang, he said the parents must be consistent in keeping the child from being involved. "It will be hard," he said, stating it is not impossible to save a child from participating in a gang once they have been involved.
Abarca told the parents they can call the police department as a resource. "I will visit the home and learn all I can..I will answer what I can and if I don't have the answer I will do my best to find the answer," he assured, stating he and his fellow officers are willing to be a resource for parents.
He said he and his fellow officers would much rather become involved in a child's life and the life of the family before the child is arrested for gang behavior or activities.
Explaining the dynamics of a gang to the parents, he said the leaders of gangs become leaders for one or two reasons. The leaders are those who have gained respect because of a reputation built on criminal activity and/or the leader possesses leadership skills lacking in other members.
Criminal activity to establish a leader's reputation may include graffiti, vehicle prowls, theft of vehicles, assaults and/or fighting, drive by shootings and even murder.
Citizen awareness will help police prevent these types of activities.
Abarca advised those in attendance at the forum to call the police any time something seems as though it is not normal. "We have made a number of arrests based on calls from concerned citizens reporting a person wearing a hood or wearing colors," he assured.
He said any activity that makes a resident nervous or suspicious is considered information that may prove valuable to police.
As parents, Abarca advised awareness around younger children also.
Another piece of advice was to not discount how gangs might use young children. He said fifth grade students in Sunnyside have been known to be used as lookouts, communicating when police are in the vicinity through use of a signal such as a whistle.
Other communication skills gangs use are in action, language, clothing, hand signs, graffiti and tattoos.
Abarca said a parent can discover graffiti in a child's room, look in the closet and find clothing of specific colors or pay attention to the child's friends.
Using photos from a MySpace account that belongs to one local gang member, Abarca illustrated attire that in one photo would not indicate the gang's affiliation and another that clearly defined a group for being a member of the gang. The youngsters in each photograph were the same young men. Other photographs illustrated the bedroom of a gang member.
"I have had parents deny the child's involvement even when faced with graffiti all over the bedroom wall," said Abarca.
As a community, he said being aware of one's surroundings is important. He asked the audience to call police with any information that might seem suspicious.
Following Abarca's presentation, Leticia Saenz and Jessica Alcaraz spoke briefly to the audience about the resources provided through the Department of Social and Health Services.
Saenz works with the family reconciliation services at the department and said there are a number of counseling services for families and children who are at-risk.
She said the parent involvement through her program, however, is demanding. Therefore, a commitment to the success of the program is required.
Alcaraz explained her role with the department is in child protective services.
She was asked if her division will intervene on behalf of children who have siblings involved in gang activity.
Alcaraz said any time a child is in danger an investigation will be conducted and if the child is afraid to go home, some intervention is necessary to ensure the child is safe.
Both Saenz and Alcaraz agreed with Abarca that the key to keeping youth from gang involvement and keeping a community safe is the diligence of concerned community members.

Horoscopes by Holiday: Week of March 8
by Holiday Mathis
Mercury, the messenger planet, enters Pisces, the realm of spirit, bringing up topics of faith and mysticism. There are some who will experience sudden insight this week and determine it to be divinely inspired. Others will be more practical about their flashes of intuition and assume that these experiences are merely a merging of facts that finally fit together to create a feeling of enlightenment. To which camp do you belong?
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You've been lending your talents to the one who needs them most, or the highest bidder. Unfortunately, your joy has somehow drained out of the transaction. Take the time to use your gifts for your own benefit and in a way that will make you happy. An hour a day is scarcely enough, but would be a remarkable start.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It falls on you to make sure everyone feels respected and important. You don't have to invent ways of doing this. Consult the etiquette books. It feels great to make a proper introduction, give a gracious compliment or perform as a consummate host. Your social success affects all other areas of your life.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are sensitive to change that may or may not affect you, like the wind changing directions or a loved one changing his or her mind. Breathe through the edgier feelings. Find a way to relax. The most important thing is that you don't worry. Imagine the best outcome and dwell on that thought until it comes.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll be thinking and acting creatively to solve problems. Your style might be too hard to follow for some. You see the rules as merely guideposts, while someone you are working with sees them as ironclad law. Your best bet is to quietly do your own thing, and if necessary you can always ask for pardon later.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Keep it simple. You are worthy of love and adoration just as you are. There is no need to work hard to impress anyone. When you find yourself making a vigorous effort, consider whether you are doing what's best for all. Give yourself plenty of caring attention and the rocky road of life suddenly smoothes out before you.
THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: You will be admirably reflective this year, unafraid to look within yourself to clear the ideas that held you back from the things you wanted in years before. Your commitment to a special person will give you a tremendous sense of purpose and fill your days with joy. There's a good reason to travel in April. Friends and laughter fill June. July brings a financial breakthrough, possibly related to using your talents in a different way. Family reunions and additions are featured in the late summer.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Talk to upbeat colleagues and choose happy friends. A person who gets huffy over the slightest social infraction or stays silently, obviously mad is not a person you need to get involved with. Avoid those who use a theatrical display of feelings to punish others and you will stay immune to their emotional tyranny.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Attitude has everything to do with how relationships play out. Loved ones may get demanding. The real reason behind their requests is that they need assurance of your loyalty. Make a big gesture. Don't let pride get in the way of your enthusiasm. Be effusive. Show your love and you won't have to do much else.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Many will come to you with their problems — you'll wonder whether you should go into the business of therapy! Psychically shield yourself from getting too involved. Your objective, unemotional responses will be helpful. As for your own issue, the answer is right in front of you — you just weren't seeing it before.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Unexpected twists might startle you at first, but don't let anything stop you from generating positive energy. Thursday, stay cool even when the whole world seems to be running late. A premium opportunity goes to you just because you're more present to the moment than the others around you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sometimes your role as the ultra-responsible hard worker gets a little boring for you. You fantasize what it would be like to be a creative slacker, a loveable goof or a foolish romantic. There will be opportunities to experiment with different roles this week. Expect an enlightened outcome when you do.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Yes, there are times when it really does seem that you can have and do it all. Those winning streaks are made possible by the lessons you learn when it's not going so smoothly, and also by the breaks you take to relax and reflect. Demand less of yourself. Cut your to-do list in half. Get more help.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Ennui sets in, and this is actually quite positive. It helps you raise the stakes and play life in a bigger arena. Whatever it was you were looking forward to, it probably wasn't enough. Juice up your rewards. Commit to scarier challenges. Ultimately, you create amazing momentum toward your goals this week.
