I'm thrilled to announce that The Back-Up Plan recently released. The story is part of my Second Chances series—six books that talk about the exploits of the wine girls. These six women get together every Thursday night for a little wine-time happy hour where they unwind, gossip and help each other survive as single women!
My own group of friends inspired the premise for the books. Over the past few years, I've watched all of them deal with an assortment of issues—from divorce to health concerns to weaving their way through the stickiness of the modern-day dating scene. I think when we're younger we have a tendency to think there will be a moment in our adult lives when everything falls into place and we'll finally get our acts together. I'm turning 45 this year and I've begun to realize that "moment" doesn't exist. Life is constantly throwing us curveballs and it's our ability to adapt, to accept and to move on that keep us in the game. I've been quite inspired—and awed—by the true grace and courage of my friends as they've dealt with their problems and the Second Chances series has been my attempt to write a "happy ending" for each of them.
The stories have been a challenge to write because all six stories take place concurrently during the course of a single year. In each book, there is a prologue where the women celebrate New Year's Eve with wine and resolutions. And then…it's been a bit of a puzzle as I make sure they are all where they're supposed to be as the months pass.
If you're interested in checking the books out, they have released in the following order:
Fix You – Zoey deals with the diagnosis of breast cancer.
Full Moon – Fear of putting her broken heart on the line has single mom Josie seeking to fulfill some fantasies…with no strings attached.
Status Update – Newly-divorced Laura struggles to rediscover her own identity after spending so many years as a wife and a mother.
The Back-Up Plan – Career-minded Kristen comes to the unsettling realization that her work is not enough for her. She's lonely.
Never Been Kissed (coming Sept. 9) – Shelly has spent her entire life trying to overcome her shyness while dealing with her weight issues. With her health at stake, she decides it's time to reinvent herself.
Say Something (coming 2015) – Eccentric Georgie has three broken engagements and a ticking biological clock. However, before she can move forward, she needs to put the past to rest.
The Back-Up Plan
Just how legally binding is a promise made on a cocktail napkin?
Second Chances, Book 4
Kristen Grey has always been married to her work, but as her fortieth birthday looms, she begins to wonder if that's all there is to life. When her friend Zoey suggests she come up with a goal for a second chance at happiness, the first idea to pop into Kristen's mind falls out of her mouth—to find a husband.
One night, after a few too many shots of vodka, it falls out of her mouth again, in front of the last man she wants to hear it. Her annoying, cocky law partner, Jason Mitchell. She's shocked when he vows to help in her quest to find a man.
After all, he has a vested interest in her success. Years ago, they foolishly made a pact that if they hadn't found "the one" by age forty, they'd marry each other. Time is running out.
Problem is, as Jason and Kristen try to help each other find love, it becomes more and more apparent that maybe the back-up plan isn't such a bad option after all.
Product Warnings
The heroine in this story has no objection to how her law partner likes to recess. Legal eagle? Nope. Spread eagle.
"What are you wearing?"
Kristen glanced up, her brow creased. He'd clearly interrupted her when she was deep in thought. She'd been working hard preparing for a medical malpractice suit. He almost felt guilty for distracting her. Almost.
He crossed the room to her, walking around her desk. She pushed her chair back and swiveled to face him.
She looked down, perplexed. "A skirt?"
He rubbed his forehead as too many sleepless nights caught up with him all at once. She was driving him crazy these days. Wearing her hair down, smiling, singing, laughing at all his dirty jokes. Lately he'd gotten in the habit of calling her every night before he went to bed just because he wanted to hear her voice one more time before he closed his eyes.
Then sleep would elude him as he saw her face and heard her chastising him for drinking too much or not eating a healthy dinner or chasing the wrong kind of women. God. All she had to do was take that tone with him and his cock was rock hard for an hour afterwards. He'd jacked off so many times in the past few weeks he was getting callouses on his palm.
He gritted his teeth, then forced himself to say, "Under the skirt?"
She narrowed her eyes in her typical grow up way and his dick twitched. Shit. Here we go again.
"Seriously? You came in here to ask me that? Go home, J. Or better yet, call Monica. For some insane reason, she's really into you. Maybe she can take your mind off this unhealthy obsession you have with my stockings."
"So you are wearing stockings."
"That's all you heard me say, isn't it?"
He shrugged, perfectly aware he was standing over her, looking and acting like king of the Neanderthals. He didn't care. She was poking the bear. Every freaking day.
Then he caught a whiff of flowers. "When did you start wearing perfume?"
She shook her head, apparently unbothered by his odd change of subject. "When I was fifteen. Are you feeling okay? You've been walking around here for weeks like a tiger with a thorn in his paw. What's going on?"
He wished to God he knew. Because maybe if he did, he wouldn't do what he was about to do next. Unfortunately, intelligent Jason had abandoned ship when Kristen walked into work this morning in her short skirt and stockings. The only person still in residence was the idiot.
He bent down, caging Kristen in her chair, and kissed her. Put his lips against hers and pressed close.
She struggled for only a minute. He barely registered her hands on his shoulders, shoving against him. Then her fingers stopped pushing and started gripping.
Jason released his white-knuckle clench on the arms of her chair once he realized she was kissing him back. Their lips parted at the same time, their tongues meeting halfway as he grasped her face in his palms, stroking her soft skin.
She made a quiet whimper when he knelt between her legs, but she didn't hesitate to part her thighs, to make room for him between. Neither of them came up for air, as if breaking the union of their lips would somehow crush the magic. Instead, they dove headfirst into the kiss, allowing it to go on and on.
Kristen's hands loosened from his shirt, moving along his shoulders, then back to his tie. She released the knot and tugged the silk from the collar. When she started to tackle the buttons of his shirt, Jason gave up whatever semblance of control had remained.
He lowered his hands to her legs, caressing her thighs before gathering enough courage to dive beneath her skirt. His fingers had only traveled a few inches before he found the clasps of her garter.
Kristen gasped, a strong burst of air that almost pushed their lips apart. They recovered quickly, however, and resumed kissing, tasting. Jason relished every soft cry, every delicate sound of pure bliss she made.
He'd kissed hundreds of women in his life, but none of them compared to this. They didn't even come close.
Jason deepened the kiss when his fingers found the bare skin above her stockings. Kristen spread her legs wider and he moved closer, but her tugging his shirt open distracted him. When had she unfastened the buttons? She stroked his chest, toyed with the light smattering of hair there, pressed her thumbs against his small brown nipples. There wasn't an ounce of shyness in her exploration. Nothing, but sure, assertive hands. He shouldn't have been surprised. Kristen was a powerhouse in the courtroom, confident, strong. It was apparent those attributes carried over to the physical realm as well.
His erection thickened even more, causing an almost lightheaded effect. The edges of his vision went fuzzy. What the hell was he doing? This was Kris.
His Kris.

Q&A: Can being overweight affect my chances of getting pregnant?
Can being overweight affect my chances of getting pregnant?
To understand the answer to this question, you need to have an idea about how the body works. There are two sources of estrogen in the body: the ovary (directly) and the adrenal gland (indirectly). The ovary estrogen phases—up and down—in what are part of the variations of a normal menstrual cycle. Additionally adrenal glands make something called androstenedione, which is related to cholesterol, and actually even testosterone and progesterone. So it's common that hormones often are converted back and forth. In the case of the adrenal androstenedione, fat cells convert it into estrone—an estrogen.
So, if you're significantly overweight, while your ovaries are trying to behave and cycle normally, the steady input of estrone from this other pathway will interfere. A steady supply of estrogen will blunt the peaks and valleys of the ovary's function, which ultimately interferes with ovulation. Also, all of this estrogen can even lead to precancerous changes in the womb (uterus)—which are usually reversible.
Besides causing increased risk of heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes, obesity can also cause biochemistry to gang up on your chances for decent ovulation.
So how can you tell whether your weight is affecting your fertility?
- If you're having regular periods, then you're probably having regular ovulations.
- If your periods are sporadic, then probably so are your ovulations. Fewer ovulations mean fewer chances to become pregnant.
One additional thought: thyroid problems can cause both irregular periods and obesity, so it isn't unreasonable for your health care provider to begin your infertility work-up with blood work to see if you have thyroid issues.

Plane Down, Everyone Survives
Passengers were told to prepare for a water landing.
Reports indicate the flight, to New York from Charlotte, may have hit a flock of geese or a bird. There were 146 passengers on board, along with 5 crew members. The FAA has announced that everyone made it out and is fine, with just four people being treated for hypothermia.
One passenger on the plane said they were told by the pilot to prepare for a water landing, so they grabbed seat cushions and life vests. Immediately as the plane hit the water, several passengers moved out and onto the wing.
One witness told the Associated Press, she thought, " why is it so low?" and then, she says,"splash, it hit the water."
Another passenger told a local station in NY that passengers on the plane all made sure the women and children got out first.
I read one account that is giving total credit to the pilot, they're saying he's a hero. It's great that no one was killed!!!
I'm very pleased to read all the POSITIVE reporting on this event! (Miracle on the Hudson; Men making sure women and children first; etc.) I hope this is an indication that the media is finally getting the message that RESPONSIBLE reporting is GOOD reporting. Sensationalism might sell print, but it is NOT what society needs!
i thank God everyone survied. the piolet is respondsable for a great landing in water.God bless them all.
While I'm sure we can all agree that this story had a positive ending, I for one would be a little upset if some man made me get off a plane first just because I'm a woman. Where's the equality in that? I would have had a few choice words for those guys.

Why do we still live in a monetary based economy? How can we make our current system more efficient, less wasteful and overall sustainable?
Is there a better system that we could follow that is based around improving quality of life for all humans and to increase resource efficiency? I am not proposing that we don't use a type of currency for trade, what I am saying is that our current system is not working efficiently and not improving human life. Money is the focal point and it traps people in it through debt. Our dependence on money has many adverse affects. It is limiting our potential and stopping sustainable progression.
Wouldn't it make more sense to live in a society were we do things to their full potential. Maximise efficiency and minimise waste. A system that is transparent with no class distinction. That provides the basic needs of life for free; Food, shelter, education and cloths. No strings attached, nothing locking you in. We live once so while fill it with things that add nothing to your life our others?
Im not saying we should do this or that, I am saying that there are flaws in our current system, how can we change it to make it better? How can we make our current system more efficient, less wasteful and overall sustainable??

May 9 2013: What do humans need to survive in the most basic sense?
Why do these things cost money? Who has the right, who is cruel enough to deny these basic necessities of life to anyone? We live in a world today with the resources and know how to meet this demand. Yet we do nothing because the economical system we live in would collapse. I say that right there is a redundant system. A system with a purpose, that is not in the best interests of humanity.
Technology has advanced to the stage where it has and is going to continue to replace jobs because machines are more efficient and reliable. That's a good thing, taking people away from mundane and repetitive tasks to give them the opportunity to live a more fulfilling life.
Currently though this advancement in our civilization has had adverse affects because of how we regulate our resources through the trade of money. We all live and die, that is nature's law. Why should there be a price on life, it was given so why aren't the necessities to live given also?
What gives people authority of possession over land? It was there a long time before we got here and is going to be there a lot longer when we aren't. Shouldn't it be used in a strategic and sustainable way to improve humanities quality of life and the life of the creatures we share it with?
I believe the key to moving towards this way of life is awareness through education. Moving our focus away from the small things in today's society which are most likely just symptoms of the cause: We will never fix the cause by just treating the symptoms. Use the symptoms to diagnose the cause.
Imagine that tomorrow there was no money. We no longer need to fight to survive; we have advanced to the point where we can provide for everyone. Lets make history, you and I. We were the ones that ended poverty, pollution and inequality. That's a legacy to pass on to the next generation to be proud of!
May 9 2013: Adam, I have mostly stayed away from this conversation, but I kind to have to side with Mr. Pintier on this matter. You speak of food and providing it to the people. Let's just look at that one issue. Not all food is grow in all places. It is a big globe. So, how do we grown, package, transport food stuffs from here to there. for example. there is not enough rice grown in the far east to meet demand. Rice is imported from California and Arkansas. So, just how do the thousands if not tens of thousands of people involved in getting that rice from here to there and the rice is given to a person in Indochina sustained? Can you imagine any machine or system to do that. I can''t. Is it possible in a thousand years... don't know. But, what I do know that these conversations of would and could are nice exercises in imagination but, really don't offer plausible solutions.
There are many current problems that have plausible solutions that members of TED can address and with some luck, maybe someone will hit on a solution.... stranger things have happened.
To deal with solutions that are the figment of science fiction authors is... well... fun, but really is a waste of valuable time and talent.
May 10 2013: When I go to a supermarket and see where a large portion of food was made, I wonder how many countries that ship went past that needed that product more then I. Why did that ship come to my country instead of stopping at there's, money. The people that make this product are interested in making money so they can survive. We then have an excessive amount of food in a one place instead of the other because it has a higher chance to make a better profit. Have a look at the data about how much food gets wasted at groceries stores in wealth countries. They justify this because even though there is a huge waste, they are still making more money then they would've if they took it else where.
We have the means to meet this demand today but just don't because there is no money. You need money to make demand.
Food shortage is a myth.
Distribution of what we have is just inefficient.
There are a lot of hidden costs to the way we do business. For example watch on YouTube: The hidden costs of hamburgers.
Why isn't it plausible??
May 10 2013: Adam.
"Why do these things cost money?"
i believe in our current system these things would be far to expensive for our governments to deliver to its people, thats world wide. hense get the new age slaves to feed and cloth them selves while still mantaining the status quo.
"Who has the right, who is cruel enough to deny these basic necessities of life to anyone?"
our elected officials have this right handed to them by the people (us) and we do little to fight for these things to be delivered by those governments. i dont think its a matter of being cruel its the logistica of it again in this system its just not feasable.
but i think you have answered your own question on these points.
"Why should there be a price on life, it was given so why aren't the necessities to live given also?"
im not sure what you mean by price on life unless your talking about the cost of living if so again we are going to fall back into a repetative droning of the current economic system that can only function in this manner, if every thing was for free it would collapse and you could just imagine the corporate controlled media headlines with that: "if you stop purchasing things TERRORIST WILL KILL YOUR FAMILY"
"What gives people authority of possession over land? It was there a long time before we got here and is going to be there a lot longer when we aren't. Shouldn't it be used in a strategic and sustainable way to improve humanities quality of life and the life of the creatures we share it with?"
so from this point of view i could see a few problems, although the idea is excellent in theory, if all land was up for grabs who is entitled to what? any thing and every thing? how do we police this land grab?
what your saying here is perfect world stuff and as a poeple we should alsways be striving for a perfect world but this is a shift that wont happe over night, gradual steps and changes in the processes and the way we think can bring about change.

Is Today's CBA Better for Nashville?
David Singleton | Jul 15, 2010 | Comments 7
Yesterday, I read a Twitter discussion between Lyle Richardson (Spector), Dirk Hoag (The Forechecker), James Mirtle, and Greg Wyshynski (Puck Daddy) regarding the current CBA and potential changes for the new CBA. Lyle opined that the salary cap has not helped the Nashville Predators. He expressed the opinion that they are the same today as they were in 2004, 2006 and 2007 due to the inability of the salary cap to help. Regardless of his opinion of the Predator's financial situation, basing that opinion solely on the salary cap is a flawed premise.
Putting all the PR statements made by Gary Bettman aside, the salary cap (including aspects like the cap floor) was meant to ensure cost certainty (combined with escrow). That cost certainty was the single most important aspect of the CBA for the League and the owners. Beyond cost certainty in and of itself however, there's nothing about the salary cap that's designed to help small market franchises from a financial standpoint. Where it does help the small market franchise is on the ice. The aspect of both a cap floor and cap ceiling means every team in the league will have a roster that's roughly within $16 million of every other team. Prior to the lockout, there were several teams that had a payroll more than $50 million higher than the Predators. It's now easier for the Predators to both ice a competitive team and to keep most of the players that they want to keep.
Before continuing down the CBA path, I feel compelled to spend a few sentences explaining that last statement. In trying to prove their point that the cap/CBA doesn't work, many try to point to the Nashville talent purge after the 2006 season that saw Hartnell, Timmonen, and Vokoun traded as well as little effort to re-sign Kariya and Forsberg. To point to that event in one's list of "CBA failures" is being ignorant or forgetful of the situation in Nashville at best and intellectually dishonest at worst (on which I'm definitely not accusing Lyle to be very clear). In that offseason, Craig Leipold had decided to sell the team due to his inability to make money. As such, he ordered David Poile to cut salary to make the sale more palatable for a potential buyer. What most didn't realize at the time was that much of Leipold's troubles stemmed from his alienating the local corporate sector. After the sale to local ownership, that situation has been publicized. The local ownership group has done a great job of turning things around which has allowed Nashville to keep their core players (David Legwand, Martin Erat, Shea Weber, Ryan Suter, Pekka Rinne, etc.). Of course Nashville still has to have an internal budget, which leads us back to the aspect of the CBA that provides the most financial benefit to Nashville beyond cost certainty- revenue sharing.
While the salary cap, along with escrow, provided the cost certainty, it did nothing to help account for the revenue advantages one market has over another due to size, history, etc. Enter revenue sharing. Revenue sharing was essentially designed to increase the revenues of those disadvantaged clubs in order to allow a payroll near the midpoint of the salary cap. Why not the cap ceiling? The cost certainty percentage the CBA targets each season is actually represented by the midpoint of the salary cap. In other words, the goal of the CBA is for every team to spend exactly to the midpoint. If that were to happen, the players would receive all of their escrowed money back. On the other hand, if every team were to spend to the cap ceiling, the players would lose all of their escrowed money back to the league in order to bring overall payroll costs back into line. (Please note that this is very much a simplification of the CBA and ignores certain nuances like the 5% kicker voted on by the players in the past offseasons, among others.) I feel that this is especially important so I'll reiterate that it is not a goal of the CBA that every team spends to the cap ceiling, otherwise revenue sharing would target the cap ceiling. As such, there's nothing wrong with some teams having a budget somewhere south of the cap ceiling.
So what we have is a CBA that is designed to provide cost certainty in terms of overall payroll and provide revenue sharing to allow all teams to have a payroll between the cap floor and the midpoint. Those two factors combined produce the desired side effect of increasing the likelihood of parity in narrowing the range between the "haves" and "have nots". It's still up to the individual GM's, coaches, and players to take advantage of that increased financial parity on the ice.
With that understanding in place, we can now answer Lyle's question. Are the Nashville Predators better under this CBA than the prior CBA? The answer is an unequivocal yes. Not only was Nashville able to endure a hostile takeover attempt, they've been able to re-up their core players at market rate. Their budget has been within a couple of million of the midpoint (leaving necessary contingency room in the event of injuries or trade deadline activity) each season. While Nashville continues to rely on revenue sharing, which means they can't cross the cap midpoint, that reliance is within the rules of the current CBA (which expects roughly ten teams to receive revenue sharing each season). Sure they haven't advanced in the playoffs, but their odds to do so have increased (not to mention that they should have beaten Chicago last year, in my opinion). What hasn't happened was Nashville losing most of their talent. It didn't prevent Nashville from paying over $5 million to David Legwand and Martin Erat, $4 million or more to Jason Arnott, J.P. Dumont, and Shea Weber. Nor will it prevent them from paying $6 million to Erat in the 2011-12 season and about that amount to Weber or about that amount the following season to Ryan Suter (all numbers courtesy of CapGeek). Even so, spending to the max only brings you so far (as the Rangers have proved).
Is the CBA perfect? No. Can the CBA be improved? I believe so. With the expiration of this CBA coming soon, discussion of potential changes among fans has already started. What won't happen, in my opinion, is any type of soft cap with a luxury tax. The problem with those options is that it destroys the cost certainty that was achieved in the last CBA. It makes no sense to give back the most important item for all the owners achieved in the last CBA.
Next time, I'll look at some things I'd like to see to provide additional stability to the smaller markets and to the League.
I really enjoyed reading the discussion you guys had Lyle, Dirk, James and Greg. Thanks.

It is misleading to equate the CBA to the cap floor and ceiling. Every professional league has a CBA; not every professional league has a salary cap. The NHL had a CBA before the salary cap.
IMHO, Nashville's biggest problem is the size of their venue. They average around 88% capacity, but it's established that they are losing potential revenue. Dates with marquee road teams always sell out quickly and consistently.
[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by BDGallof, Mark Willoughby, LightningShout, Hockey Independent, David Singleton and others. David Singleton said: My new blog: http://hockeyindependent.com/blog/david-singleton/19756/ [...]
So then, do you believe that the revenue sharing model in place today would have been beneficial to those struggling Canadian markets like Winnipeg and Quebec in the 1990′s?? If so, is it NOT ironic that many, otherwise, intelligent Canadian hockey fans bemoan the current CBA and revenue sharing plan?
Great read by the way!!!!
Great information! I've been looking for something like this for a while now. Thanks!…

Every table in your database should have a primary key — a field or set of fields with a unique value for each record stored in the table. You can use the primary key to identify and refer to each record.
Access can automatically create a primary key field for you when you create a table, or you can specify the fields that you want to use as the primary key. This article explains how and why to use primary keys.
One of the reasons to create a primary key is to use it to create table relationships. This topic does not explain how to create relationships. For more information, see the See Also section.
When you design a database, you divide your information into tables in such a way that each table is about one subject, such as Customers or Orders. This helps prevent redundancy and contradictory data.
For example, each customer might have many orders. Rather than store the customer's address in each record in the Orders table, you store that information once in a record in the Customers table. To combine the customer information with the rest of the information about the order, you create a relationship between the two tables, by using key fields.
A table can only have one primary key. A primary key is a field or set of fields that:
You can add the primary key from one table to another table to create a relationship between them. In the other table, it is called a foreign key.
For example, suppose you use the primary key of the Customers table in the Orders table. In the Orders table it is a foreign key.
A foreign key, simply stated, is another table's primary key. The values in a foreign key field match values in the primary key, indicating that the two records are related — for example, a customer and an order that she has placed. Unlike primary keys:
You create a foreign key when you use the Lookup Wizard to create a field.
Sometimes a table already contains a good primary key field, such as a serial number or a product code. Such fields are called candidate keys.
For example, if you track post-secondary educational outcomes, you might have a Colleges table. Suppose there is an official database of colleges that provides a code number for each college, such as the U.S. Department of Education Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). You could use the code that system provides as the primary key for your Colleges table.
A good candidate key has the following characteristics:
An example of a poor choice for a primary key is a customer's name. Although some names are unique, some are not. Because you cannot be sure that values will be unique, names are not candidate keys.
When you create a new table in Datasheet view, Access automatically creates a primary key field for you, names the field ID, and gives it the AutoNumber data type. The field is hidden by default in Datasheet View, but you can see the field if you switch to Design View.
If your table doesn't have any good candidate keys and you didn't create the table in Datasheet view, consider adding a field that has the AutoNumber data type, and then using that field for the primary key. An AutoNumber field automatically gets a new, unique value for each record that is added. Even if you delete records, the values are not reused. An AutoNumber therefore produces unique values for each record, and makes a good primary key.
In some cases, you want to use two or more fields in combination as the primary key for a table. For example, an Order Details table that stores line items for orders might use two fields in its primary key: Order ID and Product ID. A key that has more than one field is called a composite key.
Note You cannot create a composite foreign key by using the Lookup Wizard. You can create a composite foreign key by using a data-definition query to create a multiple-field constraint. For more information, see the topic Create or modify tables or indexes by using a data-definition query.
Top of Page
A key indicator appears to the left of the AutoNumber field.
Press CTRL+S to save your table design changes.
Tip To select more than one field, hold down CTRL while you click the fields.
A key indicator appears to the left of the field or fields that you specify as the primary key.
When you remove a table's primary key, the field or fields that previously served as primary key will no longer provide the primary means of identifying a record. Removing the primary key does not delete the field or fields from your table, however. Rather, it removes the primary key designation from those fields.
Removing the primary key also removes the index that was created for the primary key.
If the primary key consists of multiple fields, click the row selector for any field in the primary key.
The key indicator is removed from the field or fields that you previously specified as the primary key.
Note When you save a new table without setting a primary key, Access prompts you to create one. If you choose Yes, an ID field is created that uses the AutoNumber data type to provide a unique value for each record. If your table already includes a AutoNumber field, Access uses that field as the primary key.
To change a table's primary key, follow these steps:
In Access, a primary key is implemented as an index. When you use Design view to create a primary key, Access creates the index for you. If you prefer, you can use a data-definition query (data-definition query: An SQL-specific query that contains data definition language (DDL) statements. These statements allow you to create or alter objects in the database.) to create a primary key. You can reuse the query whenever you want to create the same primary key. This can be handy if you peridoically drop and recreate a table.
To create a primary key for an existing table, you use a CREATE INDEX command.
You use the CREATE INDEX command in a data-definition query.
The query switches to SQL view.
Tip Consider starting the name with the letters pk to indicate that the index is a primary key. Naming your primary key indexes consistently will make it easier to tell them apart from other indexes.
Note You cannot create an index that already exists. If you want to reuse a query that creates a primary key, you must first remove the existing primary key.
To remove a primary key from a table, you use a DROP INDEX command.
You use the DROP INDEX command in a data-definition query.
Tip If you don't know the name of the index, you can find out. First, open the table in Design view. Then, on the Design tab, in the Show/Hide group, click Indexes.
For more information about database design and choosing an appropriate primary key, see the articles Database design basics and Create a table.

iPhone 5S review from Patagonia
This iPhone 5S beats out the 5 in every camera test and in many ways I prefer it to my DSLR. Sure it has its pros & cons… but for the first time ever, I didn't bring my Canon 1DX and I didn't regret it one bit. That's saying a lot. The quiet beauty behind the iPhone 5S is what I find most powerful. The upgrades they made here aren't ones that sell phones… instead, they focused on making the pictures better, even if it's silent innovations in features no one even knows about… it's not max megapixels or other flashy specs. The results are amazing and at the end of the day, people are going to really like the pictures coming from their iPhone 5S… and that's really all that matters!

Summertime Means Construction, Jobs for Ohioans
Cross-posted from the U.S. Department of Transportation blog
Few things say summer like a state fair. And, as a graduate from the nearby University of Dayton, I was thrilled to take part in today's opening of the 157th Ohio State Fair with Governor Ted Strickland.
A proud Buckeye tradition, the Ohio State Fair has delighted locals and visitors since 1850. Last year alone, over 800,000 people turned out to take part in the livestock competitions, concerts, rides, and butter sculptures that make up a true state fair experience.
But, summertime doesn't just mean fun times on the fairgrounds -- it's also construction season. Just last month, President Obama and Secretary LaHood were only a few miles from the Ohio Expo Center to break ground on the Recovery Act's 10,000th road project.
While he was there, the President said: "If we're going to rebuild America's economy, we have to rebuild America, period." Work crews across Ohio and across America are doing just that.
The Summer of Recovery is in full swing.
For Ohio, this means more than $1.1 billion for 470 road, bridge, transit and airport projects that will move people and goods across the state more safely and efficiently than ever before.
The Obama Administration's $8 billion Recovery Act investment in high speed rail also promises big changes for Ohio, with $400 million for 250 miles of new track along the "3C Corridor" between Cleveland and Cincinnati.
To date, more than 30 foreign and domestic rail manufacturers and suppliers have agreed to establish or expand their operations in states like Ohio, where there's a willing work force and plenty of factory space. So high speed rail lines in Ohio and elsewhere will create jobs right here at home.
We also know that investing in our rural areas is important. And the Recovery Act is enabling us to:
- Make hundreds of loan guarantees to help rural businesses get back on their feet;
- Improve access to the Appalachian region through new highway constructions that support current and future commerce;
- Invest in broadband projects that will finally connect rural households, hospitals, and schools to the internet;
- Purchase buses and expand transit services in rural communities; and
- Provide over $1 billion for renewable energy projects that put rural America on the cutting-edge of research into bio-fuels and create green jobs.
The Recovery Act has already saved or created over 117,000 jobs in Ohio. And that's just a snapshot from one state. Similar stories are playing out across the country, and there's much more to come.
As the Summer of Recovery continues, the Obama Administration and DOT are committed to making it a little easier for families everywhere to enjoy all of the fun this season has to offer.

What is a Good Faith Violation? Why can't I keep buying and selling with the same money before I first trade settles? How does the GFV rule work?
Place Trade Financial through its clearing agent Penson Financial Services, Inc. is required to implement a policy concerning unsettled funds.
Effective immediately, your account will be charged with a Good Faith Violation if you purchase a security in a cash account and sell that security to purchase another using unsettled funds.
Three (3) GFVs in any twelve (12) month rolling period will result in your account being restricted to Funds in Advance of trading for a period of 90 days. If an account trades through a 90-day restriction, any resulting loss in the account will be the responsibility of the client and your account may be coded for "no more business."
- On Monday customer sells A for $5,000, but holds no cash in his account
- On Monday customer buys B for $5,000
- On Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday customer sells B, prior to the settlement date of A
In this example, the account would have been charged with a Good Faith Violation (GFV). The settlement date of security A is Thursday. If the customer had sold security B on settlement of the sale of A, then the purchase of security B would have been fully paid and no violations would have occurred.
For questions contact Place Trade Financial at 1-800-50-PLACE.

Mexico City • The Mexican navy says it has detained the leader of the Gulf drug cartel in the northern state of Tamaulipas, across the border from Texas.
The navy says Jorge Eduardo Costilla Sanchez was caught Wednesday. It says it will provide more information Thursday.
Costilla led the Gulf cartel's fierce fight for control of northeastern Mexico against its former enforcer arm Los Zetas.
His arrest is the latest blow to the weakened Matamoros-based Gulf Cartel. It has struggled to keep the Zetas from taking over all of its territory since the two split in early 2010 and began a bloody turf war.
