GALVESTON — Susan Criss and Wayne Faircloth agree on at least two things: they think the Ike Dike is a good idea, and school finance is going to take up much of the 184th Legislature's time next year.
TEXAS CITY — For the first time in nearly nine years, Texas City's emergency medical service rates may be increasing.

Thanks to Susan Criss and Wayne Faircloth, who are running for state representative in District 23, for a lively discussion at Monday's forum.
When I was a boy I wanted to have a motorcycle. It came shortly after I wanted a speedboat (even though I didn't live near the water) and just before the foreign sports car convertible. By the way, I never got any of them, although I did own a convertible once — it was a Buick.

Roy Weatherby started out building bespoke rifles built up from Mauser actions. Offering a few different types of actions, including a left handed one, Weatherby would use any that the client chose so long as it could handle the desired cartridge. In 1956 Weatherby had the opportunity to produce his own line of rifles in a partnership with Sako, in addition to his custom rifles. His debut proprietary design was the Mark V bolt action rifle, which was designed to withstand the experimental cartridges Weatherby was also developing at the time.
Today Weatherby offers rifles and shotguns designed mainly for hunters and trap/skeet shooting. Shotgun designs include over-under, side by side, semi-automatic and pump action. Weatherby offers a variety of different models at different price points. While the Vanguard series of rifles is more affordably priced, the Mark V rifles are considered very high quality with guarantees for performance and accuracy in addition to using more expensive ammunition.

Can't wait ☺
Maybe I missed something but where is Sept 21st coming from? Just a guess of availability I assume?
Sounds like they're saying there are reports FedEx is bulking up on their personnel at that time, maybe even blocking out vacation days, but since they're not really saying that at all, it could be fake.
I just might go to the store and buy one, went thru the mess of pre-ordering online at midnight last yr to get my new 4S at 8PM of 1st day availability LOL. went to the store to add my girlfriend on my account to use my iPhone 4 and talked to the ladies in there and they had plenty of new 4S's in stock of both colors and memory sizes. Guess AT&T learned from the iPhone 4 mess (lack of stock) and ordered plenty to have in stock. But then again? I didn't have FedEx making the delivery AT&T sent it via UPS.
this is worse than being a little kid on x-mas eve.
W/ the rumors of possible shortages and this being a new design, it's highly likely that stores will sell out fast. But...you might be right! We'll see in a few weeks!!!
As long as Apple doesn't......Wait...Actually...It doesn't matter what Apple does with the iPhone 5. It will be bought, and it will sell out, and the servers will crash, and the people will camp, and the droids will rebel, finally finding knowledge biting into their first Apple, and the mainstream media will be their to cover it all.
"If you build it...they will come..." This famous line from the best baseball movie ever, has not only become a reality for Apple, but a law!
so when the preorders start will i be able to buy one outright? or do i have to wait?
yea im using mine on straight talk so hoping can preorder no contract one
Anyone preorder a 4s last year and were u able to buy it outright? I would imagine u could I can't see apple turning down that much money but hey apple does do weird things.
i dont really care if its unlocked. straight talk works on locked att phones. but jailbroke is another story. really tryin to decide between the 5 and the s3. going to see what specs the 5 have before i make final decision. but i promise if i go with the s3 i wont come back on here and act like some of the people lol
aaaaagggghhhhhhh I can't wait!!!!
Hopefully the jailbreak for it will be easy.... I know the gsm version will come faster. Hopefully we can enjoy that Verizon lte!
Judging strictly from history, though, if there was an exploit, we would've heard about it but since we haven't, we have to assume they haven't found one. Otherwise, they'll need to find a hardware exploit in the ip5 (which will take some time) and that still leaves all A5 devices out of the loop...
Your right. There hasn't been any talk about it at all. Well I'll be happy with the lte capabilities.
Wont be sadly upgrading my iphone 4s i love apple products but like many people are fed up with the company , shame steve has gone as apple need a kick up the *** , and thinking just making the 4.3 screen to a 16.9 will wow people i dont feel this as no apps or games will display properly on it . I see alot of angry apple fans after the next iphone is released ,as the only way screen size should go is larger not longer

The former tutor for University of North Carolina football players made her first appearance in an Orange County courthouse Thursday afternoon, marking the beginning of what could be a long fight over whether she broke the law in a new effort by the state to regulate sports agents and collegiate athletes.
Jennifer Wiley Thompson, who was Jennifer Wiley at UNC before getting married, is charged with trying to induce Tar Heel football player Greg Little into signing with an agent. She appeared at the Orange County Courthouse before a heavy media contingent.
She paid a $15,000 bond.
The day marked the first public appearance for Thompson, who refused to speak to NCAA officials and who has made no public comments on the matter. Her her next appearance is Oct. 15.
The charges against her will test a North Carolina law, the Uniform Athletes Agents Act, designed to force agents to register with the Secretary of State's office and to punish sports agents who tamper with collegiate athletes in the state. Violations are a Class I felony.
Orange County District Attorney Jim Woodall said he believes this is the first case of its kind in the nation.
Orange County District Attorney Jim Woodall said he believes this is the first time a charge of this nature has been brought nationally.
But Thompson's attorney, Elliot Sol Abrams of Raleigh, said it's not clear to him and fellow attorney Joe Cheshire, who will usually represent Thompson, that she broke any law.
"What we all need to recognize is that this is new territory for everyone involved," Abrams said. "No one has ever been charged with this crime. We would ask that everyone keep an open mind until this matter has concluded in a court of law."
Abrams said, "This has been a long, sad road for Jennifer. She is a wonderful, caring person. She'll continue to act with decency. She'll maintain her dignity throughout this process."
Thompson is charged with providing Little with a round-trip airline ticket worth $579.50 to travel from North Carolina to Florida as part of an effort to get Little to sign with agent Terry Watson of Georgia. She is also charged with giving him $150 in cash and receiving a package from Watson containing $2,000 in cash for Little.
The indictment, which was made public Thursday, said the ticket was provided May 23, 2010. It lists Thompson as now living in Matthews and is dated Sept. 30.
Woodall said she face four felony charges, which each carry a 15-month sentence.
"I always feel like it's important when we feel there has been a violation of the law to get to the bottom of it. I will say the Secretary of State's office did a, I think, good job of pursuing this because one of the people that they looked at originally passed away, unfortunately, well over a year ago," Woodall said, referring to deceased sports agent Gary Wichard. "They were well into this investigation when that person passed away and then they had to go in a different direction. I think they've been very dogged, very determined, to get to the bottom of this. And now, it's going to move into the court system and we're just going to see where it goes."
Thompson emerged as a key figure in the UNC football investigation but refused to talk to NCAA officials. She had even been the tutor for the son of former Carolina head coach Butch Davis.
Recently, search warrants were made public that show Little claimed Watson provided cash and other benefits.
The law requires agents to register with the Secretary of State's office and prohibits offering gifts to entice athletes to sign representation contracts.
In July of 2012, documents released by UNC pointed to Thompson as a key source of problems at the program.
In UNC's "Response to Notice of Allegations," Carolina said it learned in July 2010 that Thompson "provided impermissible help in the form of free tutoring services to several football student-athletes … [information redacted].
"The University specifically instructed her that she should not tutor or provide benefits of any type to any student-athlete. [Thompson] did not follow these instructions.
"Upon this discovery, the university expanded its 2010 investigation of [Thompson's] conduct to include sports other than football …
"[Thompson] did not write papers for the student-athletes … She did, however, edit papers the student-athletes sent her -- correcting spelling and grammar mistakes and adding a few sentences."
The university went on to say Thompson was at fault in her dealings with some of the athletes.
"[Thompson] … knew or should have known that the assistance she provided, though limited in [Thompson's] violations, while admittedly serious and major in nature, were limited to football student-athletes."
In another part of the response, UNC acknowledges reports that Thompson provided "approximately $3,500 impermissible extra benefits to football student-athletes."
The report defined those benefits as $150 for an airline ticket and $1,789 in parking ticket expenses. Thompson also provided 142 hours of free tutoring services to nine football players during the 2009-10 school year.
Carolina said Thompson "used a personal credit card" to make an online payment of $1,789 that [name redacted] owed."

This shirt is killer! It looks super cute with a purple racerback bralette paired with frayed cut off shorts. I got a size small in the white and it fits just like the model. Plan to wear it with leggings, boots and a flannel during the winter.
Best Uses
Best looking concert style tank I've seen in quite some time and priced right. Soft and the cut is spot on. Love this one!
Best Uses
This tank top is perfect for that summer grunge look. Im planning on wearing it with jean cut off shorts and grey boots. The tank is super comfortable and I love the way it hangs and the way the neckline is cut. If you're debating about purchasing it I would say Do IT before it's sold out or doesn't come in your size. It's a great buy and worth the money. I have only just tried it on so I don't know how it washes yet but I'm planning on washing it on delicate just to be on the safe side.

Press Release
April 14, 2011
Janet Bass
301-502-5222 (Cell)
Statement by Randi Weingarten, President,
American Federation of Teachers,
On Illinois Senate Committee Passage of Education Reform Legislation
The Illinois Senate Education Committee passed education reform legislation today that focuses on how to hold everyone accountable for student success. Among other things, it maintains collective bargaining and due process; requires more shared responsibility; requires schools to implement a new "Survey of Learning Conditions" to provide a reliable way to measure a school's progress through teacher, student and administrator feedback; and ensures that layoff decisions take into account experience and performance.
WASHINGTON—This bill reflects the understanding that for kids to succeed, everyone in schools, including teachers, must be held to high standards, and teachers need to be supported and treated fairly. We thank the Illinois lawmakers, in particular state Sen. Kimberly Lightford, for navigating this process and understanding the importance of teacher voice in policymaking. The serious and inclusive process used to craft this legislation, in which partisan politics took a back seat to kids' best interests, stands in stark contrast to anti-union, ideological legislation coming out of other states. The process and the resulting bill prove that when we look for solutions together, we can make schools better for all students.

They were the most terrifying 14 minutes of her life.
More than a year after a home invasion rocked the Greenville community, the woman who survived it all is paying tribute to the first responders who saved her.
Gina Hathaway will be featured on A&E's "Panic 911." As the show's preview says, "for many victims the 9-1-1 dispatcher is the only link between life and death."
It's a scary reality; one that Hathaway knows all too well.
One June 21, 2012 Greenville police heard Hathaway's call for help and came running.
Dispatcher: He's in the living room?
Hathaway: No, bedroom.
Dispatcher: He's in your bedroom?
Hathaway: Yeah. Help me. Help me.
It was about 10 p.m. Gina was settling in for the night when two men broke through a back window and started ransacking her house. Last June she showed 9 on your side's Kristen Hunter how she locked herself in the bathroom and listened on in horror.
"If you see here I was pushing the door. They were pushing the door trying to get in and actually broke my door," she said
Dispatcher: I'm still here. I understand if you want to be quiet but I'm still here. Is he downstairs or upstairs?
Hathaway: {BANG, SCREAMS}
Dispatcher: Are you in there by yourself?
Hathaway: Yeah
Dispatcher: What happened, why'd you scream?
Hathaway: He's trying to hit the door in!
After 14 minutes Gina's terrifying ordeal was over. Greenville police caught brothers Maceo and Mark Gardner in the act. Six months later, a judge gave them both the maximum sentence. For Maceo, a habitual felon, it meant 28 years in prison.
Time marches on and that day will stay with Gina forever.
"I never was able to go back to my house and stay after that. Things that were familiar to me were unfamiliar then," she said.
But she refuses to live in fear.
"I decided early on that this was not going to control the rest of my life. That this was not going to be my destiny."
It was the actions of the first responders that ultimately may have saved Gina's life. Now she's sharing her story on national TV.
"It took a lot for someone who'd never known me to put their life on the line and come into my house to save me. I think that was one reason that I decided to go ahead with it. The other was that I felt like maybe there's something in it that will help someone else," she said.
Gina says she's not a victim, but rather a survivor.

PALMYRA TOWNSHIP, MI (WTOL) – The Michigan Department of Transportation is preparing for a major project that will begin soon on US 223 in Palmyra Township. Daytime closings have already begun, and the project will cause major delays.
In early April, those who drive on US 223 between Blissfield an Adrian will see a large number of orange barrels.
"We'll actually be replacing the bridge that is behind me right now, over the River Raisin. And to do that, we'll be taking 223 down to one lane, maintained with a temporary signal." explained Karl Arend of MDOT.
Drivers who regularly use US 223 have seen this type of construction before. In the summer and fall of 2011, the highway was down to one lane in both directions around Lipp and Riga Highways for culvert replacement and road work. During that time, traffic was maintained by a temporary signal, and there were major delays.
MDOT says the work is necessary, and that it is part of a 5 year plan to replace the aging structure.
The work will be a huge issue for those heading to a state park or lake in the area for a summer trip, or those traveling to Michigan International Speedway.
MDOT is aware of the extra traffic this will cause for the two big race Sundays this summer, and will do what it can to relieve backups.
The project is expected to be completed by November. Once the new bridge is in, it should last 60-70 years.

The twisted cowl neck gives the top a designer look.

Vogue 8582
I really like the shape and cowl neckline of the Marcy Tilton Vogue Pattern 8582. I used a black wool knit that I bought from Tessuti to make this top. The pattern has the top as asymmetrical but I cut the back and front on the fold so that the drape was on both sides.
Katherine and Marcy Tilton. I found that it made sewing the seams so much smoother. I stitched the hems using a twin needle giving this top a 'ready to wear' look. It also has a bit of stretch to it too which helps with the knit fabric.

A new winter skirt using New Look 6843
The New Look 6843 is my 'go-to' pattern when I want to make a winter pencil skirt. I have had this pattern for years and years. The stamp on the pattern envelope is from a fabric shop that has been gone from my local shopping strip for well over a decade. But the pattern is still available so the skirt has remained fashionable. I lengthened version B by 7 cms and omitted the waistband and side split. Instead of the waistband I reinforced the waist seam with cotton tape and added a lining. This gives the skirt a ready to wear look. I also find that as the skirt is just above the knee, it's roomy enough to walk in without the need for a split or kick pleat. This version is made from a grey and black wool plaid that I picked up last year from the remnants table at Tessuti in Melbourne.

Tessuti's Pia Dress - for winter
The design feature that I liked most when I first saw the Pia dress pattern was the pockets. I had made a couple of versions of Tessuti's Eva dress earlier this year, so I knew that their patterns were flattering and easy to wear as well as great to sew. The pattern instructions said that it was suitable for linens, medium weight cottons and lightweight wools. The 'lightweight wools' got me thinking about using some lightweight wool in my stash and making this dress work for winter. The fabric I used was from an Alannah Hill end bolt that I bought at Clear It in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy a couple of years ago.
And here is the Pia dressed for winter. I was so happy when I found a fine knit woollen jumper that not only matched the colour of the vertical stripes but also had a cowl neckline.

Sashiko and appliqued circles
I'm still hooked on sashiko stitching and for my latest effort I incorporated appliqued circles. I was inspired by a panel I saw on the website of indigo niche and thought I could break into my stash of Japanese cottons for the circles. I am giving this to my sister for her birthday. I hope she likes it.

Sashiko Cherry Blossom
I felt like a little girl again as I stitched this sashiko cherry blossom design for my mother for Mother's Day. She was delighted with my hand made gift.
There are still a few things to work on with my technique but I am enjoying the practice.

Sashiko - making progress
I have been practising sashiko stitching using an indigo pre-stenciled cotton fabric that I bought at Kimono House. I used an off white sashiko thread. The pattern is called waves and it was easy to follow. It did take quite a few hours to complete the 30 cm square! I plan to use this sample as the central panel in a cushion cover.
But then I got a little too confident and thought I could graduate to copying a pattern that involved sharp angles and central points.
I learnt a few things:
1. Choose your fabric carefully. With all the lines on this cotton fabric, I found it really difficult to find and follow the lines that I had traced.
2. Take care with stitching at the central point of these stars. The centre of the bottom star looks okay but the middle one is a mess.
3. Take care also when stitching at corners and points. Keep those points sharp.
I will continue practising.

VANCOUVER - The groups for the 2010 Olympic men's hockey tournament are set.
Germany and Norway were the final countries to secure a place in the event Sunday, each winning qualifying tournaments to get in.
The Norwegians will play in Group A at the Olympics along with Canada, Switzerland and the United States.
Norway is one of the top Winter Olympic nations in history, but has not qualified for an Olympic hockey tournament since hosting the 1994 Winter Games in Lillehammer.
Former NHLer Patrick Thoresen had a hat trick on Sunday as Norway beat rival Denmark 5-3 in Oslo. The victory secured a trip to Vancouver.
Germany was already assured of qualifying before registering a 2-1 win over Slovenia in Hannover.
The Germans will play in Group C along with Sweden, Finland and Belarus.
Group B will feature Russia, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Latvia.
The Olympic tournament begins on Feb.16, 2010.

Georgia State's defense has stifled the offense for much of preseason camp.
It's not the ideal situation for the Panthers but, for coach Bill Curry, it's the next best thing.
"if you have to choose, it's a lot better to have the defense ahead at this stage of the year–a lot better," Curry said. "Because that's how you win. I know today's football is different. You have got to drive and score. You have to. But you'd better play some defense."
The Panthers have done a lot of that during camp.
The defense dominated during the first scrimmage last weekend. GSU's offense responded with a better effort Tuesday but the defense was back in command during the scrimmage Saturday, which Curry said would be the last featuring starters vs. starters.
The Panthers had six interceptions during the scrimmage periods.
"We always focus on turnovers," freshman linebacker Joseph Peterson said. "We have to win the turnover ratio a lot in games. Turnovers are a big deal for us and that turns the momentum."
That's what happened early in the scrimmage, after it looked like the GSU offense was going to have its way.
Starting from the 20, the Panthers moved crisply down the field with quarterback Ben McLane keeping a good tempo in the no-huddle offense. GSU earned a first-and-goal at the 10 after converting its second third down in nine plays.
But on second down, Peterson stepped in front of tight end Alex Smith to intercept McLane's pass in the end zone. That started a trend for the Panthers: McLane had two more interceptions on the day, Kelton Hill also had two and Ronnie Bell had one.
McLane said the quarterbacks have to improve their decision-making.
"It's in critical situations taking care of the ball: red zone, third downs," he said. "Being mentally tough so when we get behind or have a drives stall we need to pick it up."
It wasn't all bad for the GSU offense.
The Panthers ran the ball effectively, a good sign because they are breaking in four new starters on the offensive line. Curry also noted that the offense played a lot of reserve offensive linemen and wide receivers, which contributed to some issues with protection and route running.
Still, Curry said the Panthers should have finished drives better.
"What's disturbing is there ought to be sometimes we sustain an offensive drive no matter what the defense is doing where we take it and score," Curry said. "We didn't do that and that's going to be demanded when we play [games]."
Players who sat out with injuries included cornerback Jamal Ransby, defensive linemen McClain Head and Nermin Delic and offensive linemen Treavor Flannigan and Grant King. . . .
With Christian Benvenuto suspended for the season opener because of his role in a fight, Curry said David Miller is the No. 1 kicker and Matt Ehasz is the backup. Wil Lutz, a freshman walk-on from Newnan, is handling kickoffs.
The Panthers have yet to receive word from the NCAA on the status of transfers Bell (Ohio University), Delic (Kentucky) and Theo Agnew (Massachusetts). They must be cleared to be eligible to play in games. . . .
The defensive line starters were David Huey at tackle, Terrance Woodard at nose guard, and John Kelly and C.J. Stephens at the ends.

Hope the NCAA makes the right call on all three given our current status as FBS transitional. Don't understand what's the hold up. Should we hear before the opener? Thanks for the continued excellent coverage Doug! GO PANTHERS!!!

Hope this is a sign that we have a good defense (for a change) and not an ineffective ofense. It looks we will overall a lot better and with a tougher schedule, we will have to be. A little than a week and we will at the Dome.

Why again are you moving up when it is a lock you will go winless in the CAA? The more plausible outcome would be for GA State to drop to D2 or NAIA.
ODU will roll you by 60 points this year.

GSU won today! Panthers take it one game at a time and 'Make Your Move'! Hope to see Panther Parents and Fans at the Dome supporting our football team, marching band, cheerleaders, managers and coaches! AJC thank you for the coverage, keep it coming– Go Panthers! We love you!

Open question. NCAA baseball has open transfers. In other words any player can transfer to any other school regardless of division and not lose a minute of eligibility. I like it. Coaches change jobs all the time without penalty yet players are penalized for transferring. Thoughts?
August 18th, 2012
8:22 pm
If the GSU defense develops to become very good to borderline dominant,defensive coordinator Anthony Midget will be Bill Curry's replacement as the head coach.

VAA Fan, just watched our second NFL player play tonight for the New York Giants. #43 Jake Mausau, He did pretty well for his NFL debut.

So stupid GSU is wasting money on starting a new football program, won't ever play on the big stage, BCS bowls, etc…I would love to see a P&L for the football program
Oh well, Go Dawgs
August 19th, 2012
8:38 pm
So what's the difference between GSU and your mutts considering they don't play on the big stage and they sure as hell won't be sniffing a BCS bowl anytime soon? Try worrying about the likes of UCF and Boise before you dream about the "big stage". And alums like you are pathetic but not too shocking in the fair weather capital of the world.

Laughable, UGA is top 10 in preseason polls, no clue where GSU is, UGA plays in the SEC with packed crowds every game

Go Dawgs! If I can find Athens I will go to a game!
August 20th, 2012

Agreed GSU_MEX_ALUM, QB is the key to 2012 season and beyond. Offensive line too. Someone needs to step up and lead! I believe the Defense is in good hands with Midget!!!

Phase Change Memory
Phase Change Memory is one among many possible candidates for the next-generation of Non-Volatile Memory. PCM research has indicated its viability as a candidate through scalability, fast read speeds, and adamant read endurance. Already, the PCM technology is being considered to replace NOR Flash. The remaining barriers that prevent PCM from becoming a universal memory that could work across multiple layers of the existing memory hierarchy for modern computers are structural variability, write endurance, and write power. The latter perhaps being the more limiting factor. This research project will attempt to aid the search for a remedy - particularly in the Nanowire design - for PCM's high programming current and energy requirements. The project will involve reading papers, solving of differential equations, code development, and understanding the underlying device physics of phase change memory.

Device Modeling on GPUs
Currently, the algorithm used to model nanodevices is implemented for a typical CPU based computer. Some scientific modeling applications are beginning to benefit from GPU processors to assist with calculations, we would like to explore applying GPUs to modeling of (i) nanotransistors and (ii) charge transport in peptides / dna, using quantum mechanical methods. Specifically, the GPU would be tasked with performing parallelizable mathematical operations, such as matrix multiplication, inversion and implementation of the recursive Gless algorithm. These operations will be done in the context of calculating the drive current and sub threshold slope in nanotransistors and calculating transmission probabilities in the case of peptides / dna. Experience in programming is required. This work will also include interaction with applied math faculty.

Topic - uiaa fall rating
Josi - on 28 Nov 2012
I've just bought a new rope for sport climbing and was looking at the uiaa falls rating and was wondering what is the definition of a uiaa fall?
I've also been doing a lot of 'practise' falling to try and get comfortable with whole falling thing because the primal fear of falling has definately been holding me back....So i've got fairly comfortable taking 20-30 footers. Going past a bolt and upto the next or getting to the lower off and getting a hand full of slack before jumping and this is feeling ok but it has got to shorten the lifespan of a rope and i'm just wondering how long before I should be replacing the rope used for this. The sheath is showing a little fuzziness and minor signs of melting. I've been using a mammut vertex.

Preferences related to the SQL Editor, and how query viewing behaves.
Max query length to store in history (in bytes): Queries that exceed this size will not be saved in the history when executed. The default is 65536 bytes, and setting to 0 means there is no limit (all queries will be saved).
Continue on SQL Script Error: Should an error occur while executing a script, this option causes execution to continue for the remainder of the script.
"Safe Updates". Forbid UPDATEs and DELETEs with no
key in WHERE clause, or no LIMIT clause. Requires
connection: This enables the
sql_safe_updates MySQL Server
option for the MySQL Workbench session. Changing this option
requires a reconnection to the server, which can be performed
by , .
Leave autocommit mode enabled by default: Toggles the default autocommit mode for connections. When enabled, each statement will be committed immediately.
All query tabs in the same connection share the same trasaction. To have independent transactions, you must open a new connection.
Progress status update interval: When executing long running queries over a slow connection, you may need to increase this value to prevent excess load on the connection. Defaults to 500 milliseconds.
Online DDL
Default algorithm for ALTER table: The
default algorithm selected when performing
ALTER TABLE operations in
MySQL Workbench. The setting can also be adjusted for each
ALTER TABLE operation. Options
include "In-Place" (preferred) and "Copy", see the
online DDL
documentation for more information.
Default lock for ALTER table: The default
lock setting for allowing concurrent queries with
ALTER TABLE in MySQL Workbench.
This setting can also be adjusted for each
ALTER TABLE operation. Options
include "None", "Shared", and "Exclusive", see the
online DDL
documentation for more information.
Query Results
Limit Rows: Queries can sometimes return an excessive number of rows, which can heavily load the connection, and take time to display in MySQL Workbench. To prevent this, you can set a more moderate value here. This limit is defined by the Limit Rows Count option.
Limit Rows Count: Specify the maximum number of result rows to return. Defaults to 1000.
Max. Field Value Length to Display: To avoid display problems due to excessive field length, it is possible to set the maximum field length to display (in bytes). Defaults to 256.
Treat BINARY/VARBINARY as non-binary character
string: Binary byte string values are not displayed
by default in the results grid, but are instead marked as
BLOB values. These can then be viewed or
edited with the
BLOB editor. Nonbinary
character string values are displayed in the results grid, and
can be edited in the grid cell or using the
BLOB editor.
If this option is turned on, data truncation may result: Binary byte string values may contain null bytes as part of their valid data, whereas for nonbinary character strings, a null byte terminates the string.
Confirm Data Changes: In the SQL Editor, if you edit table data and then click the button, MySQL Workbench launches a wizard to step you through applying your changes. This gives you a chance to review the SQL that will be applied to the live server to make the requested changes. If this option is deselected, the changes will be applied to the server without the wizard being displayed and without giving you a chance to review the changes that will be made.

Each chewable Nature's Plus Source of Life Animal Parade tablet supplies 16 vitamins and 8 minerals, as well as nature's most healthful whole foods, including spirulina, carrot, broccoli, whole brown rice and spinach. Combining the natural goodness of whole foods with a balanced profile of nutrients is what makes Nature's Plus Source of Life Animal Parade a complete dietary supplement formulated for your child.
Multiple Vitamin-Mineral SupplementsWhat do they do?Multiple vitamin-mineral (MVM) supplements, sometimes known as multivitamin-mineral supplements, contain a variable number of essential and/or non-essential nutrients. Their primary purpose is to provide a convenient way to take a variety of supplemental nutrients from a single product, in order to prevent vitamin or mineral deficiencies, as well as to achieve higher intakes of nutrients believed to be of benefit above typical dietary levels. Many MVMs contain at least 100% of the Daily Value (DV) or the U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance (USRDA) of all vitamins that have been assigned these recommended values. Mineral levels may be lower, or in the case of high potency MVMs, most or all mineral levels may also be at 100% of DV or USRDA. Micronutrients that should be included in a complete MVM are vitamin A (or beta-carotene), vitamin B-complex (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and/or niacinamide, vitamin B6, folic acid (folate), vitamin B12, pantothenic acid, and biotin), vitamin C, vitamin D, and vitamin E, and the minerals calcium, magnesium, zinc, iodine, selenium, copper, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, and possibly iron. Some MVMs also contain vitamin K, but people taking the medication warfarin (Coumadina) should consult their doctor before taking vitamin K supplements. Phosphorus is another essential dietary mineral, but is so abundant in the diet that it does not need to be included in an MVM formula. The only exception is for elderly people, whose diets tend to be lower in phosphorus. Calcium interferes with phosphorus absorption, so older people who are taking a calcium supplement might benefit from taking additional phosphorus.
Potassium is an unusual case, as adequate amounts of potassium cannot, by law, be sold in nonprescription products. Thus potassium, when included in an MVM formula, represents only a trivial amount. MVMs may contain iron, but these should be taken only by people who have been diagnosed as having, or being at high risk of, iron deficiency, or who have a history of frequent iron deficiency. Some nutrients may be beneficial at levels above what is possible to obtain from diet alone, and an MVM formula can provide these levels as well. Nutrients that may be useful to most people in larger amounts include vitamin C, folic acid, and calcium. Vitamin E has long been thought to protect against heart disease beginning at 100 IU per day, but more recent research has cast doubt on the value of vitamin E for heart-disease prevention. Large amounts of vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, and pantothenic acid are often included in MVM formulas. Some people claim to experience improvements in mood, energy, and/or overall well-being when taking higher-than-RDA amounts of B vitamins. While there is not a great deal of scientific research to support those observations, one double-blind study of healthy volunteers found that an MVM supplement significantly reduced anxiety and perceived stress levels, and possibly improved energy and the ability to concentrate.
The importance of including the nonessential nutrient beta-carotene in MVMs remains speculative. The synthetic beta-carotene found in most MVMs clearly does not prevent cancer and may increase the risk of lung cancer in smokers. Therefore, the inclusion of synthetic beta-carotene in MVM formulas is of questionable value, and it should be avoided by smokers. This concern was validated by the results of a large study in which male smokers who supplemented with synthetic beta-carotene had an 18% increase in incidence of lung cancer, compared with those given a placebo. On the other hand, because beta-carotene can be converted to vitamin A without causing vitamin A toxicity, some manufacturers use beta-carotene as a source of vitamin A. In contrast to synthetic beta-carotene, however, natural beta-carotene and several other carotenoids may be helpful in preventing certain diseases, including some cancers. Increasingly, natural beta-carotene and several other carotenoids are found in higher quality MVMs.
Another class of non-essential nutrients is the flavonoids, which have antioxidant and other properties and have been reported by some, though not all, researchers to be linked with a reduced risk of heart disease. MVM supplements also frequently include other nutrients of uncertain benefit in the small amounts supplied, such as choline, inositol, and various amino acids. Preliminary and double-blind trials have shown that women who use an MVM containing folic acid, beginning three months before becoming pregnant and continuing through the first three months of pregnancy, have a significantly lower risk of having babies with neural tube defects (e.g., spina bifida) and other congenital defects. In one double-blind trial, schoolchildren received, for three months, a daily low-potency vitamin-mineral tablet containing 50% of the USRDA for most essential vitamins and the minerals. The subjects were "working class," primarily Hispanic, children, aged 6 to 12 years. Dramatic gains in certain measures of IQ were observed in about 20% of the supplemented children. These gains may have been due to the correction of specific nutrient deficiencies (for example, iron) found in these children. However, it was not possible in this study to identify which nutrients caused the increases in IQ.

If you know anything about these fugitives, you can earn up to $1,000 by calling Crime Stoppers at (800) 780-TIPS. All information below courtesy of Crime Stoppers.
Litray Bell – a repeat offender who has led police on several high speed chasesChas Gwaltney – wanted on charges of grand theft in Collier CountyLuis Jimenez – accused of the attempted sexual battery of a young girlSamantha Roiz – a Lehigh woman trying to dodge charges of violating her probation after multiple arrests for theft
We're starting off our list with a man who clearly hasn't figured out that running from the police is never a good idea.
Litray Bell currently has two felony warrants for his arrest for violating terms of his probation. Already a registered convicted felon at the age of just 24, Bell has repeatedly shown a blatant disregard for the law. On four separate occasions, he's led police on high speed chases, one in which resulted in property damage and injury.
Bell has also been jailed for resisting an officer, assaulting a police dog, dealing cocaine, domestic violence and fraud, among other crimes. Though he was last known to be living in Bonita Springs, he may be laying low in the Fort Myers area. Bell is 5'6" and has multiple tattoos, including the word "Wisdom" and a spiderweb on his neck, a money sign on his face and the phrase "Stay Prayed Up" on his left arm.
And in Collier County, deputies are on the search for Chas Gwaltney, who stands accused of grand theft of a firearm, dealing in stolen property and providing a pawn broker with a false ID.
This 23 year old fugitive has participated in a very active criminal life both here in Southwest Florida, and in his former residence of Delaware. Among the list of malfunctions he's been arrested for over the years are charges of theft, fleeing and eluding officers, burglary, offensive touching, terroristic threatening, carrying a concealed weapon, and aggravated menacing… among a long list of others… and that's just his adult record.
Gwaltney may be hiding out in the Golden Gate or North Naples area, and was last known to be working in the fast food industry. Gwaltney is 5'8", 200 pounds and may be using the alias of Stacey Charles.
Deputies in Naples also need your help tracking down 47 year old Luis Jimenez, who failed to show back up in court after being arrested last fall for the attempted sexual battery of a girl between the ages of 12 and 17.
The victim told detectives that Jimenez came into her room in the middle of the night and engaged in very inappropriate acts. Once the girl had the bravery to come forward, Jimenez was questioned about the accusations and given a polygraph test regarding the charges, which he subsequently failed.
He was immediately arrested, then bonded out, and was supposed to show back up in court to address those charges. But nearly a year later, he's still a no show. Jimenez was last known to be living in the North Naples area, and could be working under the table to area food service establishments.
And rounding out our list is Samantha Roiz – a 22 year old fugitive who's already built up a sizeable rap sheet riddled with felony crimes.
The lions share of Roiz's crimes have been theft related – dating back to her teenage years, when she was arrested for breaking into an 81 year old woman's home, and stealing two guns, a computer and jewelry – totaling thousands of dollars.
Barely a month after being released from jail, she found herself in custody once again, for breaking into another home and once again taking guns and other items. For her misdeeds, Roiz spent five months behind bars late last year and early this year, but after just a few months of freedom, she's managed to violate terms of her state probation.
Roiz has multiple active warrants for her arrest and is believed to be in the Lehigh area, where she may be using the alias of Samantha Wilk. Upon her arrest, Samantha Roiz will be held without bond in the Lee County Jail.
And, as always, if you know the whereabouts of any of today's featured fugitives, grab your phone and call Crime Stoppers at 1 – 800 – 780 – TIPS. You WILL remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.

Excellent Location!
Our family of 5 stayed for 3 nights. The unit is well-equipped/maintained and was comfortable for all of us. The parking for one car in the rear of the complex is a plus and the Eastern Market Metro stop is a convenient walk. We felt safe in the neighborhood and there are many restaurants to choose from that are within walking distance, across from the Marine Barracks. A huge change in the area from 20 - 25 years ago- all for the better! If your travel during the summer, be sure to attend the Friday Night Parade at the Marine Barracks. Deborah quickly responded to any questions. It was a pleasure to stay there and we would not have second thoughts about returning.
Wow, wonderful!!!

Authorities said no one will be prosecuted in the deaths of a 19-year-old Chatsworth, Ga., woman and her unborn fetus, both of whom died after she hid a plastic bag of methamphetamine in her vagina.
Megan Long and her 19-week-old fetus died in September 2011, and a recently completed toxicology report shows the teenager died from the toxic effects of meth.
When a sheriff's deputy pulled over Long, her boyfriend and her mother during a traffic stop, Long hid the bag of meth, Conasauga Circuit District Attorney Kermit McManus said.
"Give it to me, I'll hide it. No one will search me, I'm pregnant," Long told her family, according to McManus.
But the contents of the bag seeped into her body, poisoning Long and her daughter, McManus said.
The fetus -- who was going to be named Madison Skye Long -- was delivered stillborn a day before Long died, the report states.
Long's death was ruled an accident, her autopsy shows. No one will be charged in either death and the investigation is complete, McManus said.
"What she did was on her own volition," he said. "It was her bad decision. It was a very sad situation."
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was asked to take the lead on the case and investigate both deaths.
At first police heard reports that Long had been asked to hide the meth, McManus said, but after interviewing both Long's mother and boyfriend, authorities decided that was not the case.

Membase not caching, returning status code 3, using .NET Membase Client API
I posted this question over at StackOverflow here:
I am using the .NET Membase Client API that includes Enyim.Caching. I have a DataTable that is approximately 5.5 megs and it is not getting cached. I know that memcached has a 1 meg limit per object, but I understand that any item less than 20 megs should be getting cached in Membase, but it isn't.
I debugged using the Membase and Enyim source code and found that a set request hits the membase server and a response is returned. The response header includes a status code of 3. Apparently a 0 is successful, but I have no idea what a status code of 3 is.
I initially thought the problem was due to it being a DataTable (serialization), but all my other DataTable objects are storing successfully (save 1 other).
Why isn't the object getting cached?
I posted a suggestion on StackOverflow, but I'll include it here as well:
Are you using a Memcached bucket or Couchbase bucket? If you're using a Memcached bucket then you're likely hitting the 1MB limit. A quick sample program:
var config = new CouchbaseClientConfiguration(); config.Urls.Add(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:8091/pools/default")); config.Bucket = "memcached"; config.BucketPassword = "qwerty"; var client = new CouchbaseClient(config); var size = 1000000; var sb = new StringBuilder(); for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) { sb.Append("z"); }; var data = sb.ToString(); var result = client.Store(StoreMode.Set, "foo", data); Console.WriteLine(data.Length + ": " + result);
When the size variable is set to 1000000, result is true. When size is set to just over a MB, say 1100000, then result will be false. If you instead use a Couchbase bucket, you can set size to 20000000 and the result will be true. However, setting size to 21000000 will cause the Store operation to fail.
If you're not using a Memcached bucket, please let me know... Also, note that I'm using the .NET 1.0 client with 1.8 server for this sample.

Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH)
Hydrocephalus refers to a build-up of fluid inside the skull, leading to brain swelling. Hydrocephalus means "water on the brain."
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a rise in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain that affects brain function. However, the pressure of the fluid is usually normal.
Alternative Names
Hydrocephalus - idiopathic; Hydrocephalus - adult; Hydrocephalus - communicating; Extraventricular obstructive hydrocephalus
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a form of hydrocephalus, which means there is too much fluid pressing on the brain.
NPH can occur without a known cause, or it may be caused by any condition that blocks the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The fluid-filled chambers (ventricles) of the brain enlarge to fit the increased volume of CSF. They press down on and damage or destroy brain tissue.
Risk factors include:
- Bleeding from a blood vessel or aneurysm in the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage)
- Closed head injury
- Meningitis or similar infections
- Surgery on the brain (craniotomy)
CSF is produced in normal amounts in these conditions, but it is prevented from being reabsorbed normally.
NPH is thought to account for about 5% of all dementias.
The symptoms often begin slowly.
A person needs to have three symptoms to be diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus:
- Changes in the way a person walks: difficulty when beginning to walk (gait apraxia), feet held wider apart than normal, shuffling of the feet, unsteadiness
- Slowing of mental function: forgetfulness, difficulty paying attention, apathy or no mood
- Problems controlling urine (urinary incontinence), and sometimes controlling stools (fecal incontinence)
Sudden falls without a loss of consciousness or other symptoms (drop attacks) may occur early in the illness.
Note: Many of these symptoms are common in the elderly, and may be caused by other conditions.
Signs and tests
An examination shows walking (gait) changes related to the pressure placed on parts of the brain. Deep tendon reflexes may be increased in the lower legs.
Tests include:
- Lumbar puncture (spinal tap) with careful testing of walking before and after the spinal tap
- Head CT scan or MRI of the head
The treatment of choice is surgery to place a tube called a shunt that routes the excess CSF out of the brain ventricles. This is called a ventricoperitoneal shunt.
Some patients improve a lot after this surgery, but many do not. Walking is the symptom most likely to improve. No specific symptoms or test results can accurately predict which patients are most likely to get better after surgery.
See: Dementia - homecare for information about taking care of a loved one with dementia.
Expectations (prognosis)
Without treatment, symptoms often get worse and could lead to death.
Surgical treatment improves symptoms in a percentage of patients. People with minimal symptoms have the best outcome.
- Complications of surgery (infection, bleeding)
- Dementia that becomes worse over time
- Injury from falls
- Shortened life span
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if:
- You or a loved one is having increasing problems with memory, walking, and urine incontinence
- A person with NPH worsens to the point where you are unable to care for the person yourself.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if a sudden change in mental status occurs. This may mean that another disorder has developed.

Dir: Jackie Chan Scr: Jackie Chan, Edward Tang
Cast: Jackie Chan, Brigitte Lin, Maggie Cheung, Bill Tung
1985 / Colour / DCP / Cantonese / Chi & Eng Subtitles / 96min
This film marked the most important turning point in Jacky Chan's career. Not only did he morphs successfully from early Republic kung-fu to cop thriller genre, but he made temporary housing blocks, buses and shopping malls his studios. And there he turned slapstick acrobatics and life-threatening stunts into large-scale action spectacles. He was script-writer, director, actor, and action choreographer in one. He designed each scene with meticulous attention. From monitoring large venues (car stunt at a housing estate), through extreme performances (jumping from a high-rise), to crashing into glass (even Brigitte Lin had to do it), and more falls from heights (Chan stopping a bus), Chan's ruthless aesthetics and grassroots heroism look incredible to us today.

Artist Creates Tower of Babel Made From 30,000 Books (Video)OMG — By Goran on 2011/05/10 5:02 AM
Famous Argentine artist Marta Minujin has presented a 28-meter-high spiraling Tower of Babel in Plaza San Martín, a famous square in the city centre of Buenos Aires.
The structure was made of a pile of 30,000 books in different languages, with sixteen thousand of them donated by over fifty embassies located on the countries' capital.
This modern version of the Tower of Babel was designed in celebration of Buenos Aires' designation as World Book Capital 2011 by UNESCO.
The bottom level features a collection of books from around the world, the first and second levels are for American books, the third and fourth are reserved for Europe, the fifth for Africa and the sixth for Asia.
