Interesting (or uninteresting) stories of what mid-level band members did for work after their bands split up/got dropped/fell out of favour.
This is about your Astoria (RIP) or Brixton Academy sized bands who did well enough that they could live off their music for a couple of years, but were never massive and needed to get a 'regular' job after their band disbanded because the won't make much/anything from ongoing royalties.
For example, Sean recently posted that the lead singer/guitarist of Gay Dad, Cliff Jones, is a music lecturer at Bath Spa University.
Similarly, Pete Voss, lead singer of Campag Velocet, now runs a vintage/costume shop on Brick Lane: http://www.idreamofwires.co.uk/about-us-1-w.asp
More recently, I used to work at Barclays HQ in Canary Wharf a few years back. One day I recognised the guitarist from Part Chimp in the canteen. I went over and had a chat with him, and he was working on Barclays IT systems (and, I imagine, earning a decent wage). I assuem he's probably still doing something similar.
Add more stories below. I always find this stuff really interesting.
jake shillingford (my-life-story) is a music buisiness lecturer
Brighton Institute of Music
I met him when I auditioned for a place there
He seemed like an utter twat - clearly thought he was something special
someone on here
worked with Donny Tourette, I believe at Sky.
Jamie from Reuben is a cartoonist for The Guardian
That is exactly the kind of job
I would hope Jamie from Reuben was doing. Well, either that or making more Reuben albums.Noblet, niallKP, pip_, kilgore-trout, waterwings, fitzcarraldo, Annoying_person, and poptimusgrime this'd this
I work with Donny Tourette!
He's a music librarian at Sky. Just goes by Patrick these days. Seems like much, much less of a bellend than his unfortunate TV appearances made him appear. That was actually a bit of a letdown. Still not averse to wearing leather jackets to work, though.
I've been at the Barclays HQ for a few years and have never bumped into anyone from Part Chimp (sob...) but swear someone from Vincent Vincent and the Villains used to spend his lunchbreak under the building in the library...!
This would have been about 4-5 years ago now, so he might have moved on or whatever.
He's quite recognisable, he's the more 'rotund' guitarist.
When he got and turned round to put his suit jacket on I noticed he had a Metallica t-shirt on under his shirt. METAL!
one of the guys from Harvey Milk was a music teacher in between their break up and reunion
John Garcia of Kyuss, Slo Burn, Hermano and whoever else became a vet at some point. I think I heard Scott Reeder did as well but I can't find any info on that so I probably made it up
Bonus Harvey Milk info...
The Bassist owns a fried chicken restaurant in NY. Apparently it's some of the best fried chicken of all time - seriously.
the image of John Garcia as a vet has me in stitches
A couple of Oceansize
used to man the door at the Academy/SU in Manchester ... someone better than me can probably tell you which ones.
Doesn't Martin Grech work in a pub in Aylesbury?
I thought Grech...
lived in America now. He did grow up in Aylesbury though...
he's back in the UK now I think
did a gig in an Aylesbury pub recently apparently...
I know a couple of Oceansize did a lot of stuff for the Academy, door, flying, lights, security even a little I think?
David Yow from the Jesus Lizard
did the Garfield movie poster.
dont know if this counts
but Dave Rowntree is a lawyer
Blur are a bit big for the purposes of this thread.
In so far as Rowntree no doubt made enough money to buy a house and all that, and could probably live quite comfortably off the royalties without needing to work.
This thread is more for those bands that had a decent level of exposure/following, but not enough to sustain them financially beyond the lifespan of the band.
Blur made a fortune
Alex James bought a house in Covent Garden that was next to Dave Stewart's
err actually
the main reason blur reunionised was because Dave was in a shit ton of debt 'cos a company he invested heavily in went tits up
you can make a fortune and still get into shit loads of debt yeah?
they are not mutually exclusive
umm yes, that was kind of my point - you can make a ton of money and still not be able to sustain yourself financially
black swans, market forces etc
the post probably should have gone after CGs rather than guntrip's
just some idle trivia s'all
cool cool
makes more sense coming after CG's
the main reason? really?
even though Blur getting back together had been on the cards since 2004??
i used to
work in an office with the drummer from black (from the 70s/80s) who had the one hit wonder 'wonderful life' i think tis called that anyway, most people know the song and he drummed on the song and album but gets balls all from it. his friend the actual singer/songwriter though makes a small fortune apparently
bit of a Balearic classic was that, great record.
a friend of mine went to a meeting in an office block to talk about
upgrading their phone system and Mark Morris the singer from the bluetones was on reception. he sat there in awe whilst waiting for the person he was meeting with to come down and collect him.
Oh god, that's really sad.
And I should know, having worked as a receptionist. I don't know if I'll ever be able to listen to Expecting to Fly in the same light again.
Serves him right for being in a shit band
and singing "where diiiiiiiiiiiiid you goooooooooo" and making me want to kill people.
No way! Expecting to Fly's great!!!
It's your skin as pale as alabaster...packageholiday, kubrahhh, umlaut_ampersand, and colon_closed_bracket this'd this
Mark Morriss is still touring.
I've booked him to play Bedford at the end of March! Buy tickets!!
We played a gig with Mark Morris recently...
and, though I was never a Bluetones fan, he was a very nice chap and played some excellent songs...
He told an amusing story about them turning down a huge amount of money for one of their tracks to be used on a car advert and how he wishes now he said yes...
Bass player from the Verve worked at B&Q
when they (temporarily) split after A Northern Soul. Pretty sure I heard this on the Mark Radcliffe show back in the day. For some reason it stuck.
probably said this before
but Colin Doran from Hundred Reasons worked as a postman inbetween the band leaving Sony and signing with V2.
i never knew this! i would have shit my pants if he turned up with my post

relatedly, I had this email from a producer manager
Larry is the guitarist/writer/producer with the band HUNDRED REASONS. He produced the band's last two albums and has been working as a co-writer/producer with various acts over the past 2 years.
He has his own room in Studio B of Artspace Studio in Brixton (www.artspacestudio.co.uk). It's a versatile set up in which he can accomodate everything from simple writing sessions to full live recordings and mixing.
Recent projects include Scholars, JB Conspiracy, the Computers, Hill Valley High, Katie Sutherland, Rosie May, Sophie Madeleine, Iman Osman, Boris Titular, Dinosaur Pile-Up and Speaks.
Here's a link to hear a track by Scholars called 'Bad for Business'
and there is some more music to listen to on the listening page on my site at www.pbmanagement.co.uk
Played with Scholars a few weeks ago
a great bunch of lads.
Simon & Chris from Menswe@r
are Hollywood music moguls managing all your favourite indie/dance acts
Contrary to popular belief,
Johnny Dean does NOT work in a mobile phone shop. I'm not exactly how he bides his time these days, but he seems to live comfortably with his girlfriend and their cats. My friend met up with them for a drink once. Nice couple!
He certainly *did* work for a while in a phone shop a few years back
It was in Enfield. I know this because I know the person who got him the job to get him off the dole.
Matt Everitt is producer/co-host of Shaun Keavney's 6Music show https://twitter.com/matteveritt
Rick Witter from Shed Seven

Boy bands any good to you?
One of the members of Damage used to be a chef at the Lord Stanley pub in Camden. Dunno if he still is.
The Lord Stanley is ace
Really good food. I quite liked Damage tbh - I didn't realise they were a boy band at first. I didn't realise Wonderful Tonight was a cover either. Ah, youth.
I want a Lord Stanley cheese board now.
The drummer from Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon
is in California real estate.
Worth calling
just to see what he's got in San Geronimo.bruised_blood this'd this
Fucking brilliant.
Though I'm not sure how Koz actually makes any money, let alone Koutsos/Carney et al...
Beard (Tony Grantham) from Marion
Guitarist turned postman.
Their former drummer, Mourad, now works in his families property business. A sad loss to drumming, that guy was incredible.
Pavement comes to mind
Mark Ibold has apparently become a Haute Cuisine chef in the time after their split (so that's why he went on tour with sonic youth!), Bob Nastovich had a stable of racing horses in Kentucky, though he was quite honest about having gambling debts around the time of the reunion.
I've walked past that place about four hundred times
It's around the corner from this divey place I've stayed in four or five times
had no idea!
I've got Bob Nastanovich as a friend...
... on Facebook.
He runs a pub in Iowa.
I bloody love threads like this
Even though I have nothing to add. THUMPS UP.Royter-Hatfood, berksy, andyvine, Donnie, and ma0sm this'd this
These threads are excellent
Along kinda the same lines, you make find these interesting:
Gavin Goodwin formerly of Terris, is now an expert on laminate flooring at
Newport Floor Centre
Is this true??
I always wondered if this was him... http://www.surrey.ac.uk/english/people/gavin_goodwin/index.htm
of course its true* !
not true at all. According to wikipedia he's a student.
Louise Wener (vocals) became a writer after the band split up, publishing 4 novels. To supplement her income, she teaches novel writing and how to play poker.
Jon Stewart (guitar) is now a Senior Academic Lecturer at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music, and occasional columnist for the Guardian.
Diid Osman (bass) works in artist management and used to look after My Vitriol and Hell Is For Heroes.
Andy Maclure (drums) started a Punk Rock Karaoke night with Steve Lamacq, in which fans sing with a live band. His dayjob is Head of Artist Development and Drum Tutor at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music.
I think what we've learned from this thread
is that if you want your old copies of Vox magazine signed head to the Brighton Institute of Modern Music, where every 90s indie band ends up (that should be on prospectus).
The guitarist from Part Chimp
you mention works for Islington Borough Council doing their bigtime IT stuff. Lovely man. They all had day jobs as far as I'm aware, just took time off work to tour. Decent way to do it.

Zammo from Grange Hill

another grange hiller
working in the polar bear in Farringdon. He was really nice about me mentioning it. UNLIKE the tosser who works in the practise studios behind Denmark place. He was in Byker grove and *does not* want to talk about it.
A couple of years ago the singer/bassist from Kill Kenada
served me a fry up in Kensington's in Brighton. He had lots of pretty cool tattoos.
It would have to be worked
rather than works because the sanctuary cafe closed about two years ago.
The drummer from the Pixies became a magician.
And the bassist from My Bloody Valentine became a cabbie. Apologies if both are too big for this thread.
My favourite part of LoudQuietLoud (Pixies documentary):
They ask each member what they're most proud of since they left the Pixies-
Black Francis - "My solo stuff"
Kim Deal - "The Breeders albums"
Joe (guitarist) - "My wonderful family"
Drummer - "Hmmm...I'd probably say my magic...yeah...my magic"
It was pretty sad really.
Erstwhile post-rock threesome? So one became Four Tet, another became Adem, currently half of Silver Columns.
But drummer, Sam, got a series of proper (well, proper-ish) jobs. He did some web design stuff, went to Harvard to get his clever on, and came back an uber digital strategy dude. He's now in charge of strategy at a campaigning agency. Worked with him a few years ago. I was the only one who recognised him :-)pichaelmarker this'd this

Steve Hanley, second longest member of The Fall
is now a caretaker at a primary school: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-14962358
I've probably mentioned this on here before, but:
my old band used to practice at that school. Steve let us use it in the evenings, but I had no idea who he was until I mentioned we sounded a bit like Nick Cave - at which point he mentioned that he knew him. I thought he meant 'knew' as in 'was aware of' but then he went on to explain how he'd been in The Fall for twenty years and they'd hung out a bit.thekidswhopoptoday this'd this

Piotr from Adorable / Polak
works/ed in a library in brighton
Came here to post about Adorable...
They all seem to be in education. One is a uni professor and the other a maths teacher. If you watch a few of their youtube videos, kids from the drummers (or bassits) class comment on it. I can imagine them sitting down, reflecting to a pool of kids, about their days in Adorable.
Piotr used to sell second hand books on...
Brighton seafront. Haven't seem him down there for a while though.
He's playing a gig on Sunday at the Prince Albert
in his new band which is him and Terry Bickers, who's also just re-joined House of Love
I had a similar thing watching Octopus videos on youtube
kids from someone in the band's class commenting, mostly positive. I thought that was quite sweet, because they had to at some point confess 'yes, I was in a top 40 band once' during a lesson.
Robert from Adorable
was a good mate of mine at school in Cov. Last saw him at the Cure's Finsbury Park gig in 2002 and he is indeed working as a teacher in Edinburgh and snowboarding in his spare time. Last time I saw him before that was at a wedding in 1998, we got totally leathered & he got rather irate at Creation forgetting about Adorable (and the Boo Radleys) & spunking all their cash on Oasis.
Bill Janovitz was knocking out a bunch of weekly covers
a while back, think it may still be going...
Drummer from Kingmaker was at the BBC World Service
John Andrew was Technology Manager for Asia. Used to see him in the lifts at Bush House all the time. I'm not sure if he was aware that people still remembered him. I think he's gone on to do more consultancy work with broadcast and video content
delivery etc. Can't really see him jacking it in.
How could I work at the WS for 10 years...
... and NOT know that there was a member of Kingmaker in the building?! There must have been some crossover, I'd guess... I was there 1998 - 2007. Oh well!
(Now, the girl who played Mary the punk in Eastenders in the 80s and then worked in BBC Online... that one, I knew about!)
Emmy Kate from Kenickie
now lectures at UCL, apparently.
is head PR person for the northern wing of the Arts Council (and is in the Cornshed Sisters).
Ben Gautrey from Cooper Temple Clause now manages and plays for Ashridge Park Football Club.
My mate stays down that neck of the woods and told me this.

I find this fascinating too
There's no reason why mid-level indie singers working in ordinary (and probably slightly better paid) jobs should be a source of tragedy. They're probably perfectly happy with their lot but when you're a fan you kinda hope they would never have to.
I love these threads. I find such romance in the idea of being in a relatively successful band, then fading to obscurity
Pete from Adorable discusses, and reflects, on his time in Adorable. It's beautifully written. You almost feel the nostalgia of a band you were never in.
Keep this thread going!Teepee_uk this'd this
Pete and Terry Bickers (House of Love / Levitation) played together last week...
...supporting Oddfellows Casino in Brighton. It was so boring I had to leave the venue and go for a walk. They went under the name Pete and Terry.
Lead singer from Help She Can't Swin
works/worked in the Duke of York's cinema in Brighton (I think).
I have a few here...
• Gareth from Los Campesinos! also works at a church and cemetery as a gardener. He does this at the moment, and seems to enjoy it.
• Kele from Bloc Party worked at a movie theatre in London. Babak from Wet Paint also worked with Kele at the same movie theatre.
• Gordon from Bloc was a graphic designer until mid-2005. He designed all of the old BP web pages.

Jack teaches film stuff in a girls school.
Yeah Darren Hayman taught art for a while
that's why his band is called The Secondary Modern. I think he also used to work for Battersea Dogs Home or something.
Love these threads!
When the Boston Phoenix did its Britpop issues last summer, I wrote the "where are they now" article. Some of the highlights included:
-Former Menswear members managing bands like Phoenix (already mentioned above)
-Drummer from These Animal Men becoming a drum tech and stage manager for bands like the Dirty Pretty Things
-Donna Matthews from Elastica is now a born-again Christian working in music therapy
These ones didn't make it into my article, but:
-Toby Slater from Catch (£100 for diet Coke Catch) now runs a sex club in London. Considering the guy's teenage "hit" single was about losing his virginity, this never fails to make me laugh.
-Dominic Chad from Mansun is an ambulance driver in London.
Oh, and Justine Frischmann
now lives in San Rafael, California. She occasionally has gallery shows here in San Francisco. One of these days, I'll go to one and report back!
Which one of Catch is it
that plays for the Manics?
Bingo's not about losing virginity, it's about... going to a London sex club! One of those in Soho that was hot with the middle-market press for a while in the early 90s because they'd promise shows, not deliver and then not let patrons leave without paying huge amounts for one drink.
Well shit. I've been getting it wrong for all of these years. "I've got some fat to lose and something eeeelse, too." Oh Catch!
Wayne Murray now plays with the Manics. I like to refer to this as, "Everything Must Bingo."
The other great thing about Catch
is Justin Lee Collins' autobiography devotes three or four pages to how he went to interview them in America for MTV.

it probably depends on commercial revenues

Frightened Rabbit

Three reviews of Mac OS X Leopard, to be released coming Friday. David Pogue writes: "Leopard is powerful, polished and carefully conceived. Happy surprises, and very few disappointments, lie around every corner. This Leopard has more than 300 new spots - and most of them are bright ones." Walt Mossberg concludes: "Leopard isn't a must-have for current Mac owners, but it adds a lot of value. For new Mac buyers, it makes switching even more attractive." Edward C. Baig of USA Today writes: "With Leopard, Apple's operating system widens its lead aesthetically and technologically. Whether the sixth major release of OS X in as many years puts a dent in Microsoft's dominant market share is another matter entirely." Thanks to MacWereld.nl [Dutch] for pointing these reviews out.

Suffolk alumnus Casey Glynn has an idea so big that it could change the world.
Two years ago, during Glynn's junior year as an environmental engineering major, he had his "aha moment."
With a deep-rooted passion for environmental sustainability, Glynn came up with the idea for a carbon dioxide emission converter for vehicles. Similar to a catalytic converter, he says his product can remove 50-80 percent of carbon dioxide from automobiles.
Student Finds Mentor in Faculty Member
With a big idea and the ambition to back it up, Glynn was eager to get the ball rolling. He just needed help getting started.
So he met with innovator and Sawyer Business School Executive in Residence Sushil Bhatia for advice. Bhatia, an experienced patent holder for big-name products like Glue Stic, mentors budding entrepreneurs with business ideas.
"Professor Bhatia helped me refine my idea and encouraged me to take it further," Glynn said.
Bhatia thought he'd be the perfect contender for the 2012 annual New Product Innovation Competition (now called the Dr. Sushil Bhatia Competition for Innovative Ideas), where innovators pitch their product ideas to win up to $50,000 in cash and services.
Competition Jumpstarts Product Development
As Glynn worked on his proposal for the competition, he realized that sustainability was an issue for his competitors. Other products that work similarly to his only lasted about six miles. Glynn hopes his product will last for about five years. He also expects his converter to lower the cost of gas for users from about $4 to $1.
The judges were excited about Glynn's idea. In April, they awarded him $3,000 in cash and $9,000 in services to develop his product.
"Winning the competition gives me the funding and credibility to go further with the project. It's validating and encouraging to know that other people think that this is a good idea too," Glynn said.
What's Next?
Glynn used his prize money to develop a full-scale prototype and is currently working with a venture capital company.
He's also partnered with another Suffolk marketing alumnus, Arron Delman. The two have formed the company E.C. Phoenix, and Delman is handling the company's finances.
Glynn hopes to bring his product to the market in 5-7 years.

Dear Lucky,
I wish I could see you one more time. I remember the day when I came back from school and found out you had been put to sleep. You were a puppy when I was little so we pratically grew up together. You protected me when anyone tried to harm me. I miss you girl, even if you did chew the heads off my barbies dolls xD
Dear Buster,
I remember when my older brother brought you home, you were so energenic and jumping on people. You were a real big dog. It was funny when I took you to the park and people were afraid of you and got out of the way. You may have not made it to 2013 but I hope your in a place where you can run around crazy.
Dear Jim,
I hope I can make you proud from where ever you are. I wish you could have been alive longer but I guess it was suppose to be like that. You were apart of the family and I still think about you. I know mom still misses you, she talks about you from time to time. After you passed I kept mom company. Maybe I'll get to see you again, who knows. Just know that we're doing okay ^-^
Dear Great-Grandma,
I was so mad when I learned the doctors gave a misdiagnosis, but then again even if we knew earlier you probably still would have passed. I love you so much. I wish you didn't have to suffer like you did, its just so maddening to think about. When grandma visted dad in the hospital, they told some stories about you when you were younger. It was fun to listen to. Grandma described you as a spitball, very indepedent, full of energy, stubborn woman- with long beautiful red hair. Dad says I got your stubbornness along with grandma XP hehe. I hope heaven has a Wendy's fast food place for ya cause I know you loved to eat there everyday. The little Becker family misses you very much but we're glad your not in a world of suffering anymore.

Christie and the Bridge
A report backs his claim that he knew nothing about the traffic closure.
The big question concerning Chris Christie since the George Washington Bridge lane closure scandal broke open in January is whether he knew it was ordered by his state aides. He has denied it, and this week a report from a team of investigators he appointed for the task backed him up.
On Thursday a group of former prosecutors issued a 344-page report that concluded Mr. Christie had nothing to do with the September traffic-lane closures. On Friday Mr. Christie gave another hour-long press conference in which he provided concise...

I was having a Twitter conversation on this yesterday and naturally Aaron Nelson (blog | twitter) popped in with "PowerShell!" I like PowerShell, don't get me wrong, but there are a few non-intuitive ways to check for SQL Server that likely are a little tedious to code in PowerShell. All three involve fingerprinting a network port, two of which are TCP (1433 and 2433) and one which is UDP (1434). Robert Davis (blog | twitter) popped in with the Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit, which is nice, too, but there is one catch: you have to be in a domain that trusts the account doing the scan (whether the same domain or a trusting domain). So finding "rogue" SQL Servers out there is out. I'm a security type, so I believe in the Pokemon approach of "Gotta catch 'em all!" As a result, there are a couple of tools I use when I need to scan and locate SQL Servers.
Note: All of these could be classified as hacking tools. So before you use any of them, ensure that you have the permission in writing from someone authorized to give it allowing you to run any of these tools.
Chip Andrews' SQL Ping
The SQL Ping set of tools has been out in the field for a long time (if you don't get there, be patient and try back in a day or so, as his provider is switching things around). It uses all known methods of detecting SQL Servers. The list of what it does was actually provided in another tool, SQL Recon, also by Chip. SQL Recon only went 1 version and then Chip went back to SQL Ping. BTW, SQL Ping now also has a command line option, meaning you can automate the scans and then parse them into a database. This allows you to find deltas really quickly. One other word of advice is to get someone with domain admin membership to run this and the next tool, because then you can successfully scan the registry and services and hit WMI of all systems. These aren't the sort of rights DBAs have.
Quest Discovery Wizard for SQL Server
I don't tend to use this, but I'll list it because it is basically using the licensed pieces from Chip's tool (which I've used a lot), but has a nice GUI. If you're going to use just one tool, Quest Discovery Wizard for SQL Server is a good one, too.
Nmap isn't SQL Server specific. Rather, it's an overall network security scanner. As a security type, this was a common tool I used, especially when we saw some activity that didn't look right. I wanted to know what ports were open on a given system and I didn't always have rights to it. This is where Nmap comes in. Nmap does those sorts of scans in various and sundry ways. And it also has great fingerprinting capabilities meaning it doesn't just tell you the port, but based on information it collects back from the port scans, it can tell you what it finds out about what's listening on those ports. And that means identifying applications like SQL Server and even the operating system.
Parsing the Results:
Now, all of these can produce output in formatted files, and here is where Aaron's idea of using PowerShell has some great merits. I've been a Perl guy, so I wrote scripts way back when to do the imports I needed, but I can see myself re-writing all of these in PowerShell now. It'll be good practice. However, any scripting language will do. But the idea is to get the results, process them, store them, and then the next time, compare them. That tells you how the environment is changing and if folks are breaking the rules.

Nationwide workshops launched under New Freedom Initiative
WASHINGTON - As part of President George W. Bush's New Freedom Initiative, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Chair Cari M. Dominguez today announced a series of workshops designed to share information on the employment of individuals with disabilities with small businesses nationwide. This free, flexible outreach program will target the participation of small business chambers of commerce, associations and development centers outside of major metropolitan areas.
"The EEOC has a critical role to play in introducing the fastest growing sector of the business community to a vastly skilled but underutilized labor pool right in their own backyard," said Chair Dominguez. "In the spirit of the New Freedom Initiative, these interactive workshops are an important step toward providing small business owners and managers with answers to questions about everything they ever wanted to know but were afraid to ask about tapping into a tremendous business resource, individuals with disabilities."
Under the leadership of Chair Dominguez, the EEOC is expanding upon its traditional enforcement role, with regard to federal anti-discrimination statutes, to embrace innovative education and technical assistance strategies for the employer community. The workshops, which are being developed by EEOC's Office of Legal Counsel and field offices across the United States, will be customized for each group of small business participants. The focus will be on the advantages of hiring people with disabilities and the workshops will address such topics as permissible questions during job interviews, reasonable accommodations, recruitment resources, and tax incentives. The EEOC will also partner with the U.S. Department of Justice to offer small businesses insights into the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) relating to Title III, which covers public accommodations and commercial facilities.
The first workshops will take place in Rapid City, S.D. (April 9 and 10); Reno, Nev. (April 23); Morgantown, W.Va. (May 29); Kenosha, Wis. (June 3); Milwaukee, Wis. (June 4); and Phoenix, Ariz. (June 17). The schedule continues to develop with additional locations.
Small businesses and groups interested in learning more about the opportunity to participate in this workshop series are encouraged to call Joyce Walker-Jones or Michelle Zinman in the EEOC's Office of Legal Counsel at (202) 663-4503.
President Bush introduced the New Freedom Initiative as a top priority of his Administration during his first 10 days in office. Historically, Americans with disabilities, even during times of economic prosperity, have faced a tremendous rate of unemployment. The President's goals for ending this unemployment include facilitating compliance with the ADA, expanding telecommuting options, implementing the Ticket to Work/Work Incentives Improvement Act, making available assistive technologies, and improving access to transportation. The Initiative also includes provisions related to enhancing opportunities in the areas of education and homeownership for the disability community.
In addition to enforcing Title I of the ADA, which prohibits employment discrimination against people with disabilities in the private sector and state and local governments, the EEOC enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; the Equal Pay Act; prohibitions against discrimination affecting individuals with disabilities in the federal government; and sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Further information about the Commission is available on its Web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Former UFC Scrapper Paul Kelly Is Now a Convicted Heroin Trafficker
(Paul Kelly, leaving his audition for the upcoming Don' You Go Rounin' Roun to Re Ro sequel. / Photo via Liverpool Echo)
Paul "Tellys" Kelly, the thickly accented Scouser who compiled a 5-4 record while competing in the UFC as a welterweight and lightweight from 2008-2011, was just convicted of drug-trafficking in his native England, and is currently awaiting sentencing next month. According to the charges filed against him, Kelly — who has maintained his innocence throughout his trial — led a significant heroin dealing operation, in which he and his friend Christopher St John McGirr used couriers to import and distribute heroin. The Liverpool Echo (which Tellys doesn't seem to hold a very high opinion of) adds more details:
West Derby hard man Paul Kelly had denied being a major heroin dealer after an acquaintance of his was picked up with 1.5kg of import purity drugs in the footwell of his car. But after a four day trial jurors returned unanimous guilty verdicts and he was remanded in custody to await sentence…
During his trial he claimed he earned £100,000 a year and did not need to deal drugs for money. But prosecutor David McLachlan said the fighting money had dried up after he left UFC and ended up losing a "journeyman" bout in India.Read More DIGG THIS

Rokita Distributes Voting Equipment Funds to Johnson County
Contact: AJ Freeney-Ruiz
Indianapolis, IN - Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita today distributed election reform money to Johnson County. This was part of the latest round of funding Rokita's office is giving to counties from the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002.
Johnson County received $550,032 in federal and state money which was distributed by the Secretary of State's office. This brings to $21.7 million the total distributed under HAVA to Indiana counties since Rokita's office began distributing funds to help pay for voting equipment upgrades resulting from the required phase-out of lever and punch card voting machines.
Rokita personally met with Johnson County Clerk Jill Jackson to reimburse the county for the new Election Systems and Services iVotronic touch screen machines that will be accessible to all of Johnson County's approximately 86,000 voters in all 104 election precincts beginning with the 2006 May Primary Election. Johnson County will switch from punch card ballots similar to those used in Florida in the 2000 election to the new direct record voting machines.
"It's been a long road to get to this point," said Jackson. "Secretary Rokita's office has been extremely helpful throughout this process, and we couldn't be more thankful for their help. Secretary Rokita has followed through on his promise to provide these reimbursements, and it says a lot that he is personally delivering this check. We think our selection of voting machines was a good one because they will allow us to comply with the HAVA law and accommodate our disabled voters in Johnson County. Furthermore, the poll workers love these machines because the results are instantaneous and make Election Night a lot shorter."
"It is great to see federal and state money being put to good use to help ensure fair and efficient elections for Hoosiers," Rokita said. "Johnson County can now focus on other election matters."
Congress passed HAVA in response to issues in various parts of the country during the 2000 Presidential Election. HAVA requires states and counties to replace all punch card and lever machine voting systems by January 1, 2006. A number of Indiana counties will be eligible for additional funding in the coming months.

February 12, 2013 11:35 ET
GOLDEN, CO--(Marketwire - Feb 12, 2013) - iSatori, Inc. (OTCQB: IFIT) ("the Company") today announced the expanded distribution of Belly Off™, its newest proprietary weight-loss supplement. After creating several top-selling diet support supplements, including Razberri Ketone-Slim™ and gcbLEAN800™ earlier this year, iSatori's Biogenetic Laboratories division is pleased to announce the expansion of its national distribution of Belly Off to include two of America's largest distributors and retailers of specialty dietary supplements, Europa Sports (www.europasports.com) and GNC (www.GNC.com).
Like all of iSatori's supplements, the development of Belly Off relied heavily upon scientific support found in peer-reviewed published literature. As Founder and Chief Executive Officer of iSatori, Inc. (www.isatori.com), Stephen Adele, explains, "Three newly published research studies revealed that while losing weight and reducing body fat, especially around the waist, can be very challenging, the process can benefit significantly from daily supplementation of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid).
"However, we took it one step further and added to the CLA a new weight-loss/energy blend we discovered called YGD™, which is a three-ingredient combination consisting of yerba mate, guarana, and damiana. In all three clinical studies, subjects were shown to lose more body fat than participants who were given CLA alone and significantly more body fat than those who received a placebo. Most promising is that the majority of the body fat lost was in the abdominal area."
iSatori has already shipped Belly Off to retailers who placed pre-orders, and Belly Off is now on shelves nationwide at GNC, the world's largest specialty supplement retailer, with over 6,000 stores in the U.S. and locations in 49 other countries. Belly Off is also exclusively distributed through Europa Sports, the nation's largest sports and health nutrition wholesale distributor, which supplies over 14,000 specialty and independent retailers.
iSatori anticipates strong consumer demand for the Belly Off weight-loss product. According to Nutrition Business Journal (New Hope Media, SNWL 2012), pill-form weight-loss products currently represent a $1.57 billion market that is growing at a five percent annual rate. The total market for weight-loss products exceeds $65 billion annually in the U.S. alone.
Consumers interested in finding Belly Off are directed to the Biogenetic Laboratories website at www.BioGeneticLabs.com to locate their nearest GNC retailer, or they can visit any GNC retail store and ask for the product by name.
Additional consumer weight-loss support and product information on Belly Off can be found on the Internet at http://www.facebook.com/BiogeneticLabs.
Retailers interested in carrying Belly Off should contact Europa Sports at 1-800-447-4795 or visit http://www.EuropaSports.com.

Congratulations to Ahmad Bahr Mohamed, who recently won the May Reader Challenge. Ahmad Bahr Mohamed, a DBA/Database developer at Applied Industrial Technology (AIT) in Cleveland, Ohio, won an honorable mention for the best solution to the June Reader Challenge, "Writing Efficient Queries to Return Inventory Items." Here's a recap of the problem and the solution to the June Reader Challenge.
Alex is a database architect who has designed an inventory application for his company. The application uses a SQL Server 2000 server to store the data, and the inventory database consists of two main tables: Suppliers and Items. The code below creates the tables containing the relevant columns and sample data.
CREATE TABLE Suppliers (SupplierId INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, Weight INT NOT NULL CHECK(Weight >= 0) UNIQUE) CREATE TABLE Items (Item VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, SupplierId INT NOT NULL REFERENCES Suppliers(SupplierId), PRIMARY KEY(SupplierId, Item)) INSERT INTO Suppliers VALUES(1, 30) INSERT INTO Suppliers VALUES(2, 20) INSERT INTO Suppliers VALUES(3, 10) INSERT INTO Items VALUES ('item1', 1) INSERT INTO Items VALUES ('item1', 2) INSERT INTO Items VALUES ('item2', 2) INSERT INTO Items VALUES ('item2', 3)
The Suppliers table stores each supplier of a particular item in the inventory. The inventory application uses an algorithm to assign a weight to each supplier. If multiple suppliers provide a particular item, the supplier that has the lowest weight has higher priority. (You can set the priority according to a combination of factors—e.g., availability, customer feedback, price. In this challenge, the priority indicates the item's availability.)
Help Alex write an efficient query that returns each item with the preferred supplier (i.e., the one with the lowest weight), and explain how he can use Query Analyzer tool to verify the various queries' efficiency.
Alex can get a list of items and their preferred suppliers by using the following query:
- Query #1:
SELECT is2.Item, s2.supplierid FROM Suppliers AS s2 JOIN ( SELECT i.Item, MIN(s1.Weight) AS LOWEST_weight FROM Items AS i JOIN Suppliers AS s1 ON i.SupplierId = s1.SupplierId GROUP BY i.Item ) AS is2 ON is2.lowest_weight = s2.Weight;
This query determines the item and finds the supplier that has the lowest weight of all the suppliers that provide the item. This query is represented as the derived table "is2". Alex can join this query's result with the Suppliers table to get the associated SupplierId because the weight is unique for each supplier.
However, Alex realizes that he can simplify the query so that the self-join with the Supplier table can be eliminated. To achieve this single join, Alex combines the Weight and SupplierId column values to determine the minimum value. One way to combine the column values is to convert them into binary values and concatenate them. To connect the item to the minimum weight and SupplierId values, Alex can use the following query:
SELECT i.Item, MIN(CAST(s.Weight AS binary(4)) + CAST(s.SupplierId AS binary(4))) AS ws FROM Suppliers AS s JOIN Items AS i ON i.SupplierId = s.SupplierId GROUP BY i.Item
The values' binary representation sorts the integer values from minimum to maximum. The MIN aggregate function returns the value that contains the lowest weight and the associated supplier. Now Alex can get the SupplierId from the concatenated binary value by using the following SUBSTRING function:
- Query #2:
SELECT si.Item, CAST(SUBSTRING(si.ws, 5, 4) AS int) AS SupplierId FROM ( SELECT i.Item, MIN(CAST(s.Weight AS binary(4)) + CAST(s.SupplierId AS binary(4))) AS ws FROM Suppliers AS s JOIN Items AS i ON s.SupplierId = i.SupplierId GROUP BY i.Item ) AS si
Alex can verify the query's efficiency by comparing the estimated cost of each query in a batch. A quick comparison in Query Analyzer (using the Display Estimated Execution Plan) reveals that in a batch consisting of the two queries, Query 2 costs about 4 percent less than Query 1. And by looking at the Server Trace output in Query Analyzer, Alex can verify that Query 2 performs fewer reads than Query 1.
Now, test your SQL Server savvy in the July Reader Challenge, "Creating an Easy Query Mechanism for Gathering Customer Data" (below). Submit your solution in an email message to [email protected] by June 15. Umachandar Jayachandran, a SQL Server Magazine technical editor, will evaluate the responses. We'll announce the winner in an upcoming SQL Server Magazine UPDATE. The first-place winner will receive $100, and the second-place winner will receive $50.
Adam is a DBA for a hosting company that provides free and paid database access for its customers. The databases reside on SQL Server 2000 instances. Each instance can host up to 100 databases and contains a dbmaster database, which collects and maintains various statistics from the databases. A database-creation utility creates each customer's database and an AdminConfig table in each database. The AdminConfig table maintains different configuration information that the customer creates.
For ad-hoc reporting purposes or as part of a monitoring application, Adam often queries the AdminConfig information from each hosted database. Help Adam create a simple query mechanism in the dbmaster database while adhering to the following requirements:
- The query mechanism should be efficient and easy to maintain.
- The query mechanism should let Adam easily query the AdminConfig table on each hosted database.
- The database name must pass as a parameter.
- If the database name is NULL, the query should return the AdminConfig-table data from all the hosted databases.
- Adam should be able to use a SELECT statement to join the query results with other tables.
To create the dbmaster database and several databases with the AdminConfig table, use the is as following sample setup:
CREATE DATABASE dbmaster CREATE DATABASE db1 CREATE DATABASE db2 CREATE DATABASE db3 GO CREATE TABLE db1.dbo.AdminConfig ( id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, configname VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, dbname AS db_name() ) INSERT INTO db1.dbo.AdminConfig VALUES(1, 'a') CREATE TABLE db2.dbo.AdminConfig ( id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, configname VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, dbname AS db_name() ) INSERT INTO db2.dbo.AdminConfig VALUES(1, 'a') CREATE TABLE db3.dbo.AdminConfig ( id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, configname VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, dbname AS db_name() ) INSERT INTO db3.dbo.AdminConfig VALUES(1, 'a') GO
