OAKDALE, WI (WSAU) - Two semi trucks collided at 5:30 p.m. on the interstate Wednesday afternoon near Oakdale. Wisconsin State Patrol says a truck driven by Jonathon Andersen of Elk Grove Village, Illinois was leaving a non-emergency stop along Interstate 90 eastbound by milepost 51 when his rig was struck from behind by another truck driven by Khaled Ahmad Al-Kurdi of Conroe Texas.
Officers say Andersen was traveling about 20 miles per hour with the flashers on as he was leaving the shoulder entering the driving lane. Al-Kurdi was traveling about 60 miles per hour.
The impact separated the cab from the frame of Andersen's tractor, but he was not hurt. Al-Kurdi is hospitalized at Tomah Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Both drivers were using seat belts. No alcohol is involved. State Patrol investigators are investigating the crash.

Do we rely too heavily on technology for medical diagnosis?
This week in my bioelectricity class, we discussed electric fields that can be measured on the body (eg the brain, skin, eyes) and the ability to interpret signals for diagnosis, lie detection etc. Currently, there exists clinical decision support systems (CDSS), which are interactive computer software systems designed to aid doctors with medical decisions. Various test results and other data from the patient is inputted into a CDSS which then processes it and provides a list of possible diagnosis and options for treatment. The problem is, like all machines, they can often make crucial mistakes.
Dr. Lisa Sanders, a physician at Yale School of Medicine, and technical adviser for the popular TV show, House, wrote a book called "Every Patient Tells a Story" dealing with the uncertainty doctors face when analyzing a patient's symptoms. Sanders says that misdiagnoses account for as much as 17% of medical errors. She discusses how despite the many technological advances made recently, sometimes these diagnostic tools are to blame. Relying too heavily on machines and lab results can result in symptoms being missed. Or on the other hand, sometimes exam results are normal; blood tests, electrocardiograms, CT scans, all may suggest a healthy body even when that is not the case. It can take a trained, experienced eye to notice small details in the patients' behavior to unravel the mysteries of an unknown illness. Sanders states, "For all the data they collect, machines lack important components for diagnosis. They cannot hear a patient's story, touch a patient's skin, or look into a patient's eyes."
My question is, have we become too dependent on machines and technology to make medical decisions for us? Have doctors been lured into a false sense of security by allowing tools like CDSS to provide answers? How can the value of intuition which comes only from experience be balanced with technology without being lost? Can machines ever be a good enough substitute for doctors?

Could Tracy Morgan be mellowing? Seems fatherhood is taming the former 30 Rock star and Saturday Night Live comedian, who turns 45 Nov. 10. Baby Maven, with fiancee Megan Wollover, is 3 months old. The Bronx-born Scare Tactics host also has three grown sons with his ex wife.
We'll be the judge once he's up on stage, headlining the Ultimate Miami Bartender at Magic City Casino at 8:30 p.m. Friday.
What is your show at Stage 305 going to be like?
I'm always evolving, I've got a few things I'm working on. I've grown up, you know? OK, I talk about sex, but that's because I just had a baby. I've stepped back from the vulgarity and am focusing more on the funny. I want people to put away their camera phones and just enjoy it. Just accept it, and let's have some fun.
So no camera phones. Are you not a big cellphone person?
No, I'm old school. I have an imagination. I like to talk to people in person.
Speaking of your daughter, what stage is she in? Lots of sleepless nights for you?
She doesn't wake up at all. I get my eight hours. Who told you babies are tough? Having a baby is gorgeous. She's our joy. The problems start when they get older. Maven's a very smart girl, laughing and growing every day. I feel lucky; I feel blessed.
Are you more of a morning person now that you have a newborn in the house?
Not really, I love the night. In the morning, I'm all business: Work out at the gym, writing, meetings. Come the night, I shut it down and then it's me and my family relaxing at my home in New Jersey. We just chill.
How does Tracy Morgan chill?
I don't watch regular TV. It's more Netflix and iTunes for me; a lot of horror movies, monsters. I just caught Vincent Price's The Raven. I prefer the classics. When I'm home, I'm not in the public eye, and I want my privacy and quiet time. People may not know that I'm a laid-back person and fairly subdued and low key. Offstage, I don't keep that energy up.
If you like horror, you must have loved Halloween.
Oh yeah, we had pumpkins in the yard and gave out stuff for the kids. We follow tradition and dressed Maven up as Mickey Mouse. But she's too small too understand. She only drinks milk still. No candy.
What other news do you have career-wise?
I just filmed the pilot for a TV show for FX called Death Pact. I want people to tune in; it's going to be really hilarious. I play a motivational speaker with some extreme, um, tactics. That's all I can talk about because it's in the can. I'm pretty superstitious talking about other stuff.
What's your dream project right now?
To star in a movie with Eddie Murphy, a big movie, with Bob Simonds [ This Means War] producing it. Another dream I have is to come to Miami and crush it in standup!

Tibetan Museum Receives Donation of Tibetan Zan Pars. On Friday, March 21st, the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art received a donation of 25 Zan Pars, Tibetan ritual objects, from Mr. Bill Jones of Paris, France. Mr. Jones is a travel industry professional with Geographic Expeditions and National Geographic and is an expert guide in the Himalayan regions of Tibet and Bhutan. In September 2013, Mr. Jones led a group of Board, staff, supporters, and volunteers from the Tibetan Museum on a tour of Tibet which included the cities of Tse Dang, Lhasa, and Gyantse, and visits to the Jhokang Temple, the Potala Palace and Samye Monastery. Zan Pars play a vital and important role as a ritual tool. The forms represented are exceedingly diverse and often show great dexterity in carving, especially in their depiction of the animal kingdom. There are representations of birds, beasts, reptiles, insects and fish. There are countless representations of deities and demons that rule over the sky, land and underworld. Their origin is probably from the pre-Buddhist Bon tradition, though no early written evidence to support this can be found, it can be safely said that torma and dough effigies were being used in Tibet in the 8th Century. Zan Par images are typically used on an altar or in conjunction with a threadcross. The latter is a simple or complex construction of colored threads not dissimilar to the Native American dreamcatcher, the Lama then preforms the appropriate ritual where the Zan Par images enter into the threadcross to symbolically remove all negativity. "This varied and unique collection of wooden (birch, hazel, walnut and fruit woods) has been gathered in the course of 30 years travelling in the Himalayan realm, many from lay priests whom I encountered on my journeys in remote regions whilst on pilgrimage or visiting festivals. It is a collection which merits greater study because so little is known of their real significance and indeed many museums have them wrongly catalogued. I hope that with this donation the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art can further the study and educational research into their use and aid our greater understanding of Tibetan ritual," said Mr. Jones.

MONTREAL - The Canadian Grand Prix could be back on the Formula One schedule by 2011, according to a published report.
Former race promoter Normand Legault said in Saturday's edition of Montreal La Presse that he's optimistic the race will be back in the city even though the economic downturn may negatively effect F1 auto racing.
He adds Montreal successfully hosted the race for some 30 years and the city already has the infrastructure in place.
Legault says the city also falls in a time zone convenient for broadcasting the race in Europe.
The Canadian Grand Prix was dropped from the 2009 Formula One calendar last year.

Professional Psychic, Meta-Physical Advisor, Reiki Master, and Spiritual Decorator.
World Renowned Psychic and Reiki Master Shirlet
World Renowned Psychic and Reiki Master Shirlet
Child of Light
Shirlet is a world renowned psychic
and reiki master. Shirlet is one of
the top psychics in the world. She
was born with the gifts to be able to
see illnesses in peoples bodies, she
can clearly see the aura, and spirits,
entities, deities, demons, astral
beings, sub dimensional beings, and
others she will not try to guess their
origins because she will not
disrespect them. She has been able
to see these beings as clears as you
see another person.
Since she was born, her
mother could always find her at the
cemetery playing with the children
who in Shirlet's mind were alive.
When she started school things
were good for awhile. When she
was arguing with teachers over
history matters, Shirlet always said
they have most of it wrong. The spirits have showed her what they really were and how life
really was. She still says they are the real teachers. Shirlet was doing fine until one day in
third grade when she noticed a man following her homeroom teacher around; Shirlet knew
this was a man who had passed over. When she asked him what he wanted, the man told
her he had come for her teacher, and that he was the teacher's deceased father. Shirlet tried
to warn her teacher about this, even followed her to her car begging her not to go, but the
teacher just told Shirlet to go to the bus and wait for her ride, that she would be fine.
That afternoon her teacher was killed in a car crash, never making it home that day. This
traumatized Shirlet so she didn't want to go back to school. She felt like a freak and blamed
herself for not being able to stop her teacher from getting into that car. That's when word
spread of Shirlet's incredible gifts. People soon came to her home to ask her mother if they
could ask Shirlet about a deceased loved one, or a missing person. At first her mother did
not allow it but when Shirlet got the attention of a monastery and a reiki master who began
to visit her and her family. They called her a child of light instead of freak. This made
Shirlet want to try to work with the fact that she was so different.
She began diagnosing people who were sick with incredible accuracy and working with
families to help them communicate with those who they had lost on the other side. Shirlet
always warns, "They do not like to be called dead; they are not. They have only passed on
into one or both spiritual forms that are possible."
Shirlet started working with people at the age of 11. She never had to fine tune or work with
her abilities because they come naturally; spirits love to speak with her and flock to her.
Many spirits say they have been waiting for quite some time for someone like Shirlet who
has these abilities to talk to their loved ones because no one else can hear them.
Shirlet has been doing readings for over 20 years and has clients who fly in to see her from
all over the world. Up until recently this was all by word of mouth. Although Shirlet has
never needed to advertise, at the urging of so many clients and spirits, for the sake of people
who would not otherwise meet her but desperately need help that only she could give, thus
this web site was created.

As C# has evolved over the past few years, there's more and more to remember. While it's still a compact language, it's helpful to have an aide mémoire available when you just can't remember that little bit of syntax which would be so handy right now. You'll find this reference card useful whatever type of C# project you're working on, and whichever version of C# you're using. It covers many topics, from the basics of string escape sequences to the brave new world of query expressions and LINQ in C# 3.
C# has two kinds of string literals'the regular ones, and verbatim string literals which are of the form @"text". Regular string literals have to start and end on the same line of source code. A backslash within a string literal is interpreted as an escape sequence as per table 1.
|Escape sequence
|Result in string
|Single quote (This is usually used in character literals. Character literals use the same escape sequences as string literals.)
|Double quote
|Unicode character 0 (the "null" character used to terminate C-style strings)
|Alert (Unicode character 7)
|Backspace (Unicode character 8)
|Horizontal tab (Unicode character 9)
|New line (Unicode character 10 = 0xa)
|Vertical quote (Unicode character 11 = 0xb)
|Form feed (Unicode character 12 = 0xc)
|Carriage return (Unicode character 13 = 0xd)
|Unicode escape sequence for character with hex value xxxx. For example, \u20AC is Unicode U+20AC, the Euro symbol.
|\xnnnn (variable length)
|Like \u but with variable length, escape sequence stops at first non-hexadecimal character. Very hard to read and easy to create bugs, avoid!
|Unicode escape sequence for character with hex value xxxxxxxx - generates two characters in the result, used for characters not in the basic multilingual plane.
Table 1. String/character escape sequences
Verbatim string literals can span multiple lines (the whitespace is preserved in the string itself), and backslashes are not interpreted as escape sequences. The only pseudo-escape sequence is for double quotes,you need to include the double quotes twice. Table 2 shows some examples of verbatim string literals, regular string literal equivalents, and the actual resulting string value.
|Verbatim string literal
|Regular string literal
|@"Here is a backslash \"
|\" "Here is a backslash \\"
|Here is a backslash \
|@"String on two lines"
|"String on\r\ntwo lines"
|String on two lines
|@"Say ""Hello,"" and wave."
|"Say \"Hello,\" and wave."
|Say "Hello," and wave.
Table 2. Sample verbatim and regular string literals
Delegates show up in various different contexts in .NET, for event handlers, marshalling calls to the UI thread in Windows Forms, starting new threads, and throughout LINQ. A delegate type is known as a function type in other languages,it represents some code which can be called with a specific sequence of parameters and will return a specific type of value.
Declaring a delegate type is like declaring a method, but with the keyword delegate before it. For example:
delegate bool StringPredicate(string x)
Any instance of the StringPredicate type declared above can be invoked with a string parameter, and will return a Boolean value.
Over the course of its evolution, C# has gained more and more ways of creating delegate instances.
In C# 1 only a single syntax was available to create a delegate instance from scratch.
new delegate-type-name (method-name)
The method name (known as a method group in the specification) can be prefixed by a type name to use a static method from a different type, or an expression to give the target of the delegate. For instance, to create an instance of StringPredicate which will return true when passed strings which are five characters long or shorter, and false otherwise, you might use code like this:
class LengthFilter
int maxLength;
public LengthFilter(int maxLength)
this.maxLength = maxLength;
public bool Filter(string text)
return text.Length <= maxLength;
// In another class
LengthFilter fiveCharacters = new LengthFilter(5);
StringPredicate predicate =
new StringPredicate(fiveCharacters.Filter);
C# 2 introduced two important improvements in the ways we can create delegate instances.
StringPredicate predicate = fiveCharacters.Filter;
All of the earlier code to create a StringPredicate can be expressed in a single statement:
StringPredicate predicate = delegate (string text)
{ return text.Length <= 5; } ;
Note that you don't declare the return type of the anonymous method,the compiler checks that every return value within the anonymous method can be implicitly converted to the return type of the delegate. If you don't need to use any of the delegate's parameters, you can simply omit them. For instance, a StringPredicate which returns a result based purely on the time of day might look like this:
StringPredicate predicate = delegate
{ return DateTime.Now.Hour >= 12; } ;
One important feature of anonymous methods is that they have access to the local variables of the method in which they're created. This implements the notion of closures in other languages. There are important subtleties involved in closures, so try to keep things simple. See http://csharpindepth.com/Articles/Chapter5/Closures.aspx or chapter 5 of C# in Depth (Manning, 2008) for more details.
C# 3 adds lambda expressions which are like anonymous methods but even more concise. In their longest form, lambda expressions look very much like anonymous methods, but with => after the parameter list instead of delegate before it:
StringPredicate predicate =
(string text) => { return text.Length <=5; };
However, lambda expressions have many special cases to make them shorter:
Applying all of these shortcuts to our example, we end up with:
StringPredicate predicate = text => text.Length <=5;
Events are closely related to delegates, but they are not the same thing. An event allows code to subscribe and unsubscribe using delegate instances as event handlers. The idea is that when an event is raised (for instance when a button is clicked) all the event handlers which have subscribed to the event are called. Just as a property is logically just the two operations get and set, an event is also logically just two operations: subscribe and unsubscribe. To declare an event and explicitly write these operations, you use syntax which looks like a property declaration but with add and remove instead of get and set:
public event EventHandler CustomEvent
// Implementation goes here: "value" variable is the
// handler being subscribed to the event
// Implementation goes here: "value" variable is the
// handler being unsubscribed from the event
Don't forget that a single delegate instance can refer to many actions, so you only need one variable even if there are multiple subscribers.
Many events are implemented using a simple variable to store the subscribed handlers.
C# allows these events to be created simply, as field-like events:
public event EventHandler SimpleEvent;
This declares both the event and a variable at the same time. It's roughly equivalent to this:
private EventHander __hiddenField;
public event EventHandler SimpleEvent
__hiddenField += value;
__hiddenField -= value;
Everywhere you refer to SimpleEvent within the declaring type, the compiler actually references __hiddenField, which is why you're able to raise the event by calling SimpleEvent(). Outside the type declaration, however, SimpleEvent only refers to the event. This duality has caused confusion for many developers, you just need to remember that fields and events really are very different things, and field-like events are just the compiler doing some work for you.
Nullable value types were introduced in .NET 2.0 and C# 2, with support being provided by the framework, the language and the runtime. The principle is quite straightforward: a new struct System.Nullable<T> has been introduced which contains a value of type T (which must be another value type) and a flag to say whether or not this value is "null". The HasValue property returns whether or not it's a null value, and the Value property returns the embedded value or throws an exception if you try to call it on a null value. This is useful when you want to represent the idea of an unknown value.
The runtime treats nullable value types in a special manner when it comes to boxing and unboxing. The boxed version of a Nullable<int> is just a boxed int or a null reference if the original value was a null value. When you unbox, you can either unbox to int or to Nullable<int> (this follows for all nullable value types,I'm just using int as a concrete example).
C# adds a sprinkling of syntactic sugar. Firstly, writing Nullable<int> etc. can get quite tedious,so C# lets you just add a question mark to the normal type name to mean "the nullable version". Thus Nullable<int> and int? are exactly the same thing, and can be used entirely interchangeably.
The null-coalescing operator has been introduced to make working with null values (both of nullable value types and normal reference types) easier. Consider this expression:
left ?? right
At execution time, first left is evaluated. If the result is non-null, that's the result of the whole expression and right is never evaluated. Otherwise, right is evaluated and that's the result of the expression. The null-coalescing operator is right associative, which means you can string several expressions together like this:
first ?? second ?? third ?? fourth ?? fifth
The simple way of understanding this is that each expression is evaluated, in order, until a non-null result is found, at which point the evaluation stops.
One thing to be aware of is that there is also a nongeneric class System.Nullable, which just provides some static support methods for nullable types. Don't get confused between Nullable and Nullable <T>.
The C# compiler also lifts operators and conversions,for instance, because int has an addition operator, so does Nullable<int>. Beware of one conversion you might not expect or want to happen,a comparison between a normal non-nullable value type, and the null literal. Here's some code you might not expect to compile:
int i = 5;
if (i == null)
How can it possibly be null? It can't, of course, but the compiler is using the lifted == operator for Nullable<int> which makes it legal code. Fortunately the compiler issues a warning in this situation.
The biggest feature introduced in C# 2 was generics,the ability to parameterise methods and types by type parameters. It's an ability which is primarily used for collections by most people, but which has a number of other uses too. I can't cover generics in their entirety in this reference card,please read online documentation or a good book about C# for a thorough grounding on the topic,but there are some areas which are useful to have at your fingertips. Following are some references:
|C# in Depth (Manning Publications)
Only types and methods can be generic. You can have other members which use the type parameter of declaring type (just as the Current property of IEnumerable<T> is of type T, for example) but only types and methods can introduce new type parameters.
For both methods and types, you introduce new type parameters by putting them after the name, in angle brackets. If you need more than one type parameter, use commas to separate them. Here are examples, both from List<T> (one of the most commonly used generic types). (In MSDN a lot of other interfaces are also listed, but they're all covered by ICollection<T> anyway.)
Generic type declaration:
public class List<T> : ICollection<T>
Generic method declaration:
public List<TOutput> ConvertAll<TOutput>
(Converter<T, TOutput> converter)
A few things to note here:
You can add type constraints to generic type or method declarations to restrict the set of types which can be used, with the where contextual keyword. For instance, Nullable<T> has a constraint so that T can only be a non-nullable value type, you can't do Nullable<string> or Nullable<Nullable<int>>, for example. Table 3 shows the constraints available.
|T : class
|T must be a reference type,a class or delegate, an array, or an interface
|T : struct
|T must be a non-nullable value type (e.g. int, Guid, DateTime)
|T : Stream
T : IDisposable
|T must inherit from the given type, which can be a class, interface, or another type parameter. (T can also be the specified type itself , for instance, Stream satisfies T : Stream.)
|T : new()
|T must have a parameterless constructor. This includes all value types.
Table 3. Type constraints for generic type parameters
In both methods and type declarations, the constraints come just before the opening brace of the body of the type/method. For example:
// Generic type
public class ResourceManager<T> where T : IDisposable
// Implementation
// Generic method
public void Use<T>(Func<T> source, Action<T> action)
where T : IDisposable
using (T item = source())
Type constraints can be combined (comma-separated) so long as you follow certain rules. For each type parameter:
You can specify different sets of constraints for different type parameters; each type parameter's constraints are introduced with an extra where. All of the examples below would be valid type declarations (and the equivalent would be valid for method declarations too):
class Simple<T> where T : Stream, new()
class Simple<T> where T : struct, IComparable<T>
class Simple<T, U> where T : class where U : struct
class Odd<T, U> where T : class where U : struct, T
class Bizarre<T, U, V> where T : Stream, IEnumerable,
IComparable, U, V
The Odd class may appear to have constraints which are impossible to satisfy,how can a value type inherit from a reference type? Remember that the "class" constraint also includes interfaces, so Odd<IComparable,int> would be valid, for example. It's a pretty strange set of constraints to use though.
We've seen that you can use type parameters in type and method declarations, but you can do much more with them, treating them much like any "normal" type name:
T currentItem;
T[] buffer;
IEnumerable<T> sequence;
Type t = typeof(T);
T defaultValue = default(T);
sequence = new LinkedList<T>();
Note that the typeof operator can be used to get generic types in their "open" or "closed" forms, e.g. typeof(List<>) and typeof(List<int>). Reflection with generic types and methods is tricky, but MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/System.Type.IsGenericType.aspx) has quite good documentation on it.
Probably the most frequently asked question around .NET generics is why it doesn't allow variance. This comes in two forms: covariance and contravariance,but the actual terms aren't as important as the principle. Many people initially expect the following code to compile:
List<Banana> bananas = new List<Banana>();
List<Fruit> fruit = bananas;
It would make a certain amount of sense for that to work , after all, if you think of it in human language, a collection of bananas is a collection of fruit. However, it won't compile for a very good reason. Suppose the next line of code had been:
fruit.Add(new Apple());
That would have to compile,after all, you can add an Apple to a List<Fruit> with no problems... but in this case our list of fruit is actually meant to be a list of bananas, and you certainly can't add an apple to a list of bananas!
Unfortunately, when this becomes a problem you just have to work around it. That may mean copying data into the right kind of collection, or it may mean introducing another type parameter somewhere (i.e. making a method or type more generic). It varies on a case-by-case basis, but you're in a better position to implement the workaround when you understand the limitation.
Extension methods were introduced in C# 3. They're static methods declared in static classes,but they are usually used as if they were instance methods of a completely different type! This sounds bizarre and takes a few moments to get your head round, but it's quite simple really. Here's an example:
using System;
public static class Extensions
public static string Reverse(this string text)
char[] chars = text.ToCharArray();
return new string(chars);
Note the use of the keyword this in the declaration of the text parameter in the Reverse method. That's what makes it an extension method,and the type of the parameter is what makes it an extension method on string. It's useful to be able to talk about this as the extended type of the extension method, although that's not official terminology.
The body of the method is perfectly ordinary. Let's see it in use:
class Test
static void Main()
Console.WriteLine ("dlrow olleH".Reverse());
There's no explicit mention of the Extensions class, and we're using the Reverse method as if it were an instance method on string. To let the compiler know about the Extensions class, we just have to include a normal using directive for the namespace containing the class. That's how IEnumerable<T> seems to gain a load of extra methods in .NET 3.5,the System.Linq namespace contains the Enumerable static class, which has lots of extension methods. A few things to note:
people.Where(p => p.Age >=18
.OrderBy(p => p.LastName)
.Select(p => p.FullName)
If you've seen any articles at all on C# 3, you'll almost certainly have seen a query expression, such as this:
from person in people
where person.Age >= 18
orderby person.LastName
select person.FullName
Query expressions are the "LIN" part of LINQ,they provide the language integration. The query expression above looks very different from normal C#, but it is extremely readable. Even if you've never seen one before, I expect you can understand the basics of what it's trying to achieve.
Query expressions are translated into "normal" C# 3 as a sort of pre-processor step. This is done in a manner which knows nothing about LINQ itself,there are no ties between query expressions and the System.Linq namespace, or IEnumerable<T> and IQueryable<T>. The translation rules are all documented in the specification,there's no magic going on, and you can do everything in query expressions in "normal" code too.
The details can get quite tricky, but table 4 gives an example of each type of clause available, as well as which methods are called in the translated code.
|Full example
|Methods called for clause
|First "from" (implicit type)
|from p in people
select p
|First "from" (explicit type)
|from Person p in people
select p
|Cast<T> (where T is the specified type)
|Subsequent "from"
|from p in people
from j in jobs
select new { Person=p, Job=j }
|from p in people
where p.Age >= 18
select p
|from p in people
select p.FullName
|from p in people
let income = p.Salary + p.OtherIncome
select new { Person=p, Income=income}
|from p in people
orderby p.LastName, p.FirstName, p.Age descending
(depending on clauses)
|from p in people
join job in jobs
on p.PrimarySkill
equals job.RequiredSkill
select p.FullName + ": " + job.Description
|join ... into
|from p in people
join job in jobs
on p.PrimarySkill
equals job.RequiredSkill
into jobOptions select p.FullName + ": "
+ jobOptions.Count()
|group ... by
|from p in people
group p by p.LastName
join job in jobs
on p.PrimarySkill
equals job.RequiredSkill
select p.FullName + ": " + job.Description
Table 4. Clauses used in query expressions
If a "select" or "group ... by" clause is followed by "into", it effectively splits the query into two. For instance, take the following query, which shows the size of all families containing more than 4 people:
var result = from p in people
group p by p.LastName into family
let size = family.Count()
where size > 4
select family.Key + ": " + size
We can split the above into two separate query expressions:
var tmp = from p in people
group p by p.LastName;
var result = from family in tmp
let size = family.Count()
where size > 4
select family.Key + ": " + size;
Splitting things up this way can help to turn a huge query into several more manageable ones, and the results will be exactly the same.
This is only scratching the surface of LINQ. For further details, I recommend reading LINQ in Action (Manning, 2008).

Love, Love, Love these shoes!! They feel like I am walking on pillows! I bought my first pair of Sebago boat shoes a few years ago and they are my favorite shoe, they still look nice and are comfortable, but it was time for some sparkle. I was concerned the silver would be too shiny, it isn't, it is perfect! The fit is a bit loose for me, I typically wear a 7 1/2-8, (I ordered the 7 1/2 after reading the reviews) and they feel good, but will exchange for a 7, and why not when exchanges are free! Thanks Sebago, I am going to order another pair and as always share with my friends!! I will not buy any other brand of boat shoe, nothing even compares to the quality and comfort of Sebago!

As years go by, Georgia family remains hopeful
In many places across the United States, the onset of cooler weather and falling leaves means just one thing: football season. And for the Pate family of Unadilla, GA, September was the beginning of just that.
But on Sept. 4, 1998 what should have been a fun night of football for the Pate family turned into a parent's worst nightmare. Eight-year-old Shy'Kemmia Pate vanished.
The third grader at Unadilla Elementary School, who was known as "Shy Shy" to family, was planning to go to a local football game with her big sister. She eagerly waited in the front yard of their home while her sister went inside to get ready. When the older sister came outside to leave at 7 p.m., Shy Shy was nowhere to be found.
Dooly County Sheriff's Office and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation were contacted. On Saturday Sept. 5, they began canvassing the neighborhood, knocking on doors and searching homes.
Despite the ongoing investigation of leads by these two law enforcement agencies, Shy Shy has not been located. It's been 15 years since she vanished, but the search has never stopped. She would now be 23 years old.
Shy Shy was 4 feet, 4 inches tall when she went missing and weighed 59 pounds. She had black hair, brown eyes and a surgical scar on her waistline.
As small towns across the United States prepare for cooler weather, falling leaves and the onset of football, the Pate family continues to hope for the return of Shy Shy. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is asking for your help to find her.
Shy'Kemmia Pate is still missing. View her poster: http://ow.ly/oI8eD. If you have any information contact us at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678). Calls can be made anonymously.

text: Some Jacksboro residents entered their fifth day without natural gas to heat their homes Monday. It all started last Thursday when Texas Gas shut off service due to contamination of the main line in Jacksboro. According to Jacksboro Fire Chief Jeremy Jennings most of the towns gas service was restored Monday. "As of this (Monday) morning I think there was about 200 customers left on the residential side and about 60 customers on the commercial side without gas," said Jennings.The Chief said the department is still responding to calls picking up and dropping off space heaters for those still without gas to heat their homes.Bill Mullally lives just west of downtown and was one of the lucky in Jacksboro to find his gas service restored Monday morning. "Finally got turned back on this morning at 8:30 a.m. I was kind of hoping they'd show up yesterday because I had to take a day off of work today," said Mullally.Though he was unable to heat his home using gas, Mullally was able to use his electric stove and space heaters to keep his home warm. For four days Mullally was unable to normally bath, wash dishes and heat his home. Though it was tough, Mullally said he is used to roughing it."I'm an over the road truck driver and you go a few days without it out there too," said Mullally.Now that his gas service is restored Mullally said he is happy he won't have to rough it at home. It will be at least one more day before all Texas Gas customers who lost service in Jacksboro can say the same.Jack Carney Newschannel6

Hopewell Police Dept. offers Nixle communication
HOPEWELL - The Hopewell Police Department invites citizens to stay instantly informed of trusted, Hopewell neighborhood-level public safety and community information. The information will be delivered courtesy of Nixle.
The information comes to individuals in whatever format they choose - text, email, or web and it's delivered for free.
What is Nixle?
Founded in 2007, Nixle is a communication system that connects residents with the agencies that serve and protect them. Residents can use Nixle to receive information ranging from critical alerts to community news.
Nixle communicates with the public by text messaging, email and voice messaging, providing two types of communications to the public: emergency communications and day-to-day communications, such as traffic reports, missing person reports, safety tips and news about various agencies.
Nixle LLC's civilian messaging and notification services are currently used by 4,600 government agencies, mostly law enforcement, but a drive is under way to attract more agencies to the network.
"The federal government has its own information and things to say," says Eric Liu, Nixle's CEO. "Our goal will be to get every local, state and federal agency to link into the Nixle network and provide the public with every type of information, from emergency notification to day-to-day information on traffic, missing persons and local events. The more agencies and citizens you sign up, the better it will be for public safety."
Nixle is the only messaging service certified by the International Justice and Safety Networks (Nlets), which is owned by the 50 states and links together and supports every federal, state and local law enforcement, justice and public safety agency for the purpose of sharing and exchanging critical information.

Braiding Sweetgrass blends science and First Nations insight
by Alexander Varty
Braiding Sweetgrass
By Robin Wall Kimmerer
Milkweed Editions
390 pp, hardcover
A book this rich in metaphor deserves a metaphorical introduction: Braiding Sweetgrass is a deerskin pouch containing a smouldering coal of shkitagen fungus, starter of cheering fires to come. Potawatomi biologist Robin Wall Kimmerer's beautiful language, almost poetic in its intensity, is the carrier of her culture's wisdom, and of her own; wider distribution of this deep and complex book will fan the flames of understanding she hopes to promote.
For a different angle, consider Braiding Sweetgrass's subtitle: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants. What Kimmerer's attempting to do here is create a bridge between First Nations ways of seeing the world and the 21st-century scientific approach, between the "all my relations" credo of tribal cultures and the new discoveries in quantum physics and biology that prove we really are all one. And in a greater sense, she's trying to promote a more ethical approach to existence, one that extends personhood to Salmon, Cedar, and Salamander but not to Enbridge, Sinopec, and Coca-Cola.
The implications are obvious, especially in light of another smouldering fire: the poisoning of the commons by fossil-fuel extraction, especially in areas traditionally held by indigenous peoples. "Taking coal buried deep in the earth, for which we must inflict irreparable damage, violates every precept of the code," Kimmerer writes while discussing the Potawatomi concept of "the Honorable Harvest".
"It doesn't mean we can't consume the energy that we need, but it does mean that we honorably take only what is given," she continues, arguing that wind power, solar energy, wave action, and geothermal heat are gifts, while more destructive forms of resource extraction are theft.
This moral absolutism is, admittedly, unsettling: what if the profits generated from the tarsands, for instance, were directed away from enriching a few and put toward ending poverty or funding education? That's not an option considered here; for Kimmerer, as for true believers on both sides of the ecological divide, there are few grey areas. But by addressing the way that First Nations philosophy intersects with science, and especially by framing it within the context of one botanist and mother's relationship with the land, she's done us all a huge favour. Read this book: it might change your life.

So a year ago I had this wild thought run through my head that things just weren't on the up and up with how the Oakland Raiders dealt with Darren McFadden's foot injury. It seemed odd to me that each week it was the same song and dance. Run DMC couldn't jog let alone play a game of pro football yet he was never placed on injured reserve and at no point was there ever any evidence that he was anywhere near being ready to return.
Eventually we all found out that McFadden had suffered a Lisfranc injury in his foot which we could get into detail about but that would dumb down an otherwise highly scientific post (that's tongue in check in case you missed it). Basically, it's a midfoot injury in which one of the metatarsal bones becomes displaced from the tarsus. It's not a clean break but it's a bone injury for which only rest and/or surgery plus some time in a cast can correct.
Now before I get knee deep into conspiracy waters let first reflect on McFadden's career. As we all know dude has a case of the Ken Griffeys – he's injury prone.
As a rookie McFadden suffered through a couple of nasty cases of turf toe. Once the season concluded McFadden would go on to have a shoulder surgery done outside of the Raiders' team physicians and without the team knowing apparently.
There were plenty of rumblings that McFadden was unhappy with how the team dealt with his turf toe injuries so he sought private consultation for a shoulder injury he had sustained in only his second game as a pro.
All this leads me back to last season where we watched each week as McFadden made no progress to getting back on the field yet was never placed on IR. In the same time since McFadden was injured and has recovered a few other NFLers have suffered the same foot ailment. Matt Schaub, Santonio Holmes and recently Cedric Benson and Ryan Kalil among others were all shutdown for the season once the same injury was diagnosed.
Now I fully realize there are varying degrees of Lisfranc some requiring surgery others simply requiring rest. By all accounts the approach taken with McFadden has yielded the appropriate result. He is healthy and back on the field less than a year later with no obvious side effects.
However one has to wonder why McFadden was never shutdown once it became apparent he was not going to play again. Hue Jackson spun it by saying Run DMC would have been good to go had the team made the postseason. That is highly doubtful but if that's what helped Hue sleep at night then so be it.
Where it's even more concerning from a team standpoint is that the Raiders wasted a roster spot that could have gone to an available running back that could have spelled Michael Bush. As you'll recall Bush was run into the ground and by season's end was no longer producing at the level he's capable of.
Also, you can't help but think the team trainers were more focused on getting McFadden back on the field than they were getting him healthy. The difference being one approach would be more rushed while the other would be much less time sensitive.
Either way we're splitting hairs, I understand that.
McFadden has fully recovered and the Raiders have renovated from top to bottom. Many of the policies of the past are gone like the Al Davis scholarship program. Hopefully the guessing game on managing injuries and roster space is a thing of the past as well. Most every other player with Lisfranc has been placed on IR or has at least been removed from the active roster at some point. That McFadden never was placed on IR is alarming on some levels yet concerning on every level. It shows a wait-and-see approach with more emphasis being placed on the value to the team versus health of the player.
Thankfully you get the feeling this new regime would handle the situation much differently.

With a warm welcome to Texas A&M and Missouri, the Southeastern Conference will attempt to take home a national championship for the seventh straight season.
And with five teams in the USA Today Preseason Coaches Poll top 10, the odds are in its favor.
There's no doubt that the SEC is the strongest conference in the country, with the West division being the most competitive.
Will a member of the SEC represent in the final BCS national championship probably isn't a valid question anymore, but which member will make the title run is viable.
That said, here's a prediction of how the East division will play out with the West coming soon.
Georgia Bulldogs: 10-2 (6-2)
Despite losing starting running back Isaiah Crowell to team dismissal, Georgia returns a very good team and is expected to run the table in the East again. Junior quarterback Aaron Murray is once again expected to battle Arkansas' Tyler Wilson for the All-SEC quarterback distinction. He has progressed very well this offseason and should be lights out. The offensive line has done a good job replacing two NFL draft picks, the receiver corps is strong, and although the backfield's depth is a bit light, there are still names that will rise and fire in the spotlight. The Bulldogs finished fourth in the SEC on the defensive side of the ball last year, and if the secondary can continue developing, it should improve on that statistic.
Missouri Tigers: 9-3 (5-3)
The success of the Missouri football program in its first season as a member of the SEC will be determined by the play of the offensive line. Usually a strength, the Tigers' line was sketchy and inconsistent throughout last year's campaign. The return of senior left tackle (and team captain) Elvis Fisher from a knee surgery will give the line a huge push, but depth is very thin and there is no room for injury. All other units are looking very strong, including a back seven that can be immediately considered as the best in the East.
South Carolina Gamecocks: 8-4 (5-3)
Quarterback Connor Shaw has worked very hard on becoming a more consistent passer to go along with his uncanny running abilities. The receiver corps is outstanding, and Marcus Lattimore is arguably the best running back in his class. Defensively, the front seven should be faster and stronger, which will help it improve from a poor outing last year against the run. If South Carolina plays as well as it looks on paper, it could strip Georgia of its title. But that's a big "IF," as the Gamecocks are notorious for screwing up at the worst of times (ex. last season against Auburn). But unfortunately for coach Spurrier and Co., they have to play both LSU and Arkansas this year.
Tennessee Volunteers: 7-5 (4-4)
The combination of quarterback Tyler Bray and receivers Justin Hunter, Da'Rick Rodgers and Cordarrelle Patterson are one the best—if not the best—in the country. However, it all starts with the offensive line, which right now doesn't look all too great for the Volunteers. It doesn't open many holes for the running game, which puts a lot of pressure on the pass attack. There's plenty of room for improvement there, along with the defensive pass rush (or lack there of). It seems as if Tennessee football is back on its feet and kicking, but there are still many holes needing to be filled before it can be considered a contender once again.
Florida Gators: 7-5 (4-4)
The quarterback situation in Gainesville isn't a pretty one. John Brantley, once a highly-touted recruit, was a bust with the Gators simply because no one could help him develop to be the Pro-Style passer they wanted him to be. Florida has another shot with Jeff Driskel and Jacoby Brissett, but neither have looked ready to take the reigns just yet and the offense will likely sputter just as it did in 2011. The defense was very good last year but was limited thanks to the offense, and there will be some improvement, but we'll see much of the same this fall.
Vanderbilt Commodores: 6-6 (3-5)
Coming off its first bowl appearance since 2008, Vanderbilt is poised to make another postseason run despite having less top-shelf talents than everyone else in the SEC. But check out the first half of its season: vs. South Carolina, at Northwestern, vs. Presbyterian, at Georgia, at Missouri, vs. Florida. It just doesn't get tougher than that, it'll be interesting to see if the Commodores can battle back and finish the latter half of the season strong against lesser-quality opponents.
Kentucky Wildcats: 3-9 (0-8)
The East is getting better and Kentucky's chance to thrive is over. It just doesn't belong in the SEC, not being able to put together decent recruiting classes and playing at a level of those in the Mid-American Conference (which UK should consider). The 'cats don't have a quarterback that's ready to perform, with mediocrity surrounding all other key positions. I'm not trying to bash the program here, I just don't think it deserves to be in the toughest conference in the nation.

I had to use 2 layers to get the coverage I wanted. Looks great! I hope it will remain on in the humidity from the shower.
This Stuff Is Great!
By David, Mr. Fix-It
from Memphis, TN
I love this window privacy cling. It lets the light in without allowing anyone to see in. It's relatively easy to use, but I do have one problem with it: On the back, they need to put more grid lines to make it easier to cut straight across (of course, I ending up using a ruler!). Instead, they have too much writing on the back, so it makes it more work than it should be to cut straight. Other than that, I really enjoy using this stuff.

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — A man who reportedly walked away from a pre-release center in Spokane, Wash., is jailed in Missoula on charges he had drugs with him when he was stopped in a car that had been reported stolen.
The Missoulian reports (http://bit.ly/UdaFAM ) 33-year-old Joseph Richard Caietti appeared in Missoula County Justice Court Monday on charges of felony theft, escape and criminal possession of dangerous drugs.
Sheriff's Detective Jason Johnson says Caietti is charged with taking a car that a woman had left running in front of her house. When officers stopped the car, they found Caietti along with the drugs.
Dispatchers determined that Caietti was wanted for leaving the Community Corrections Center in Spokane.
Acting Justice of the Peace Greg Hintz set Caietti's bail at $150,000.

Medaille College will hold its annual Commencement Ceremonies on Friday, May 18, 2012 at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. at Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo.
As in past years, Medaille will hold two separate ceremonies to accommodate the College's graduating classes of master's, bachelor's and associate degree recipients through programs at campuses in Buffalo, Amherst and Rochester.
Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz will deliver remarks at the afternoon graduate ceremony, and Interim Superintendent of Buffalo Schools Amber M. Dixon will address the evening ceremony's undergraduate students.
Mark Poloncarz began his first term as Erie County's County Executive in 2012. He grew up in Lackawanna, and went on to the University at Buffalo and the University of Toledo's College of Law for college. He moved back home to Western New York to practice corporate and finance law before being elected to the office of Erie County Comptroller in 2005.
Amber M. Dixon, a graduate of Medaille College, began as interim superintendent of the Buffalo Public School District in September 2011. A former math teacher, she has worked for the district for over 20 years. Dixon was born and raised in Buffalo, and her son, Sean, is a successful graduate of the Buffalo Public School District.
The instructors were knowledgeable and welcomed class discussions, with
respect for each student's contribution. I've learned how to be a more
effective leader. My capstone class gave insight on how to combine all
the education learned to operate a business. That's when I realized how
much I had sharpened my knowledge.
