We are migrating from SQL Server 2000 to 2008 now. We are making lot of changes to code, scripts because there has been a lot of change since 2000 to 2008. While making these changes, What I want to know is - Is there anything I can do now to make it compatible to 2012 also at the same time. Atleast those changes that are backward compatible from 2012 to 2008 etc.. The reason, I want to do this, is to minimize any effort in future (3 to four years from now) when we decide to move from 2008 to 2012. Anything at all I can do or need to be aware of?

The best answer to this question is a bit of a short one, but go look at the books online articles that talk about what features are due to be removed in future versions and are no longer there in various versions.
For instance.. In SQL Server 2008 the "old-style" left outer join syntax (
To get you started, check out these links that take you to the articles that describe what features are no longer supported in the listed version and what features are due to be removed in the future.. Then look for these in your code.. I would also say you may want to look at future compatibility beyond SQL Server 2012 if you are holding off 3+ years.. For instance TEXT fields will still work in SQL Server 2012, but they won't likely work in the version out after SQL Server 2012 according to the links below.
SQL Server 2012 Deprecated Feature List
You should also make sure that you let your database run in SQL Server 2008 compatibility mode after your upgrade to 2008 and ensure it works well in 2008 and to allow you to upgrade it to 2012 - SQL Server 2000 Databases, or databases operating in SQL Server 2000 compatibility mode will not migrate to SQL Server 2012.
I also wrote an answer that talks extensively about upgrades and migrations and general preparedness steps.

Judge Halts a Stop-and-Frisk Tactic
Ruling Cites Lack of Training, Monitoring of Police Department's Anti-Trespassing Program in Private Bronx Buildings
In the first judicial rebuke of the city's stop-and-frisk practice, a federal judge ordered the New York Police Department to end what the ruling described as "unlawful trespass stops" outside some private buildings in the Bronx.
On Tuesday, Judge Shira Scheindlin granted a preliminary injunction ordering police "immediately to cease performing trespass stops" without reasonable suspicion outside of Bronx buildings participating in "Operation Clean Halls," a longstanding NYPD anti-trespassing program.
In her harshly worded ruling, the judge wrote that "while it may be difficult to say where, precisely, to draw the line between constitutional and unconstitutional police encounters, such a line exists, and the NYPD has systematically crossed it."
The judge also ordered a hearing to address correcting inadequacies in the program's training, supervision and monitoring. She wrote that the "NYPD's inaccurate training has taught officers the following lesson; stop and question first, develop suspicions later."
Landlords who enroll in the decades-old program, also known as the "Trespass Affidavit Program," authorize police to patrol inside their privately owned buildings. In the fall, Judge Scheindlin presided over a hearing during which lawyers for the New York Civil Liberties Union and several legal and community groups attempted to show that police mistakenly believe the program gives them license to automatically detain anyone leaving or outside participating buildings.
City lawyers argued that the trespassing stops were legal but nevertheless said they had sufficiently addressed concerns from the Bronx District Attorney's Office, which had been declining to prosecute many trespassing cases.
The cases were being dismissed, a Bronx prosecutor testified, because police were charging people who were simply seen leaving buildings. In some of those cases, those arrested were relatives of people living in the buildings, while others were tenants who weren't carrying identification.
"For those of us who do not fear being stopped as we approach or leave our own homes or those of our friends and families, it is difficult to believe that residents of one of our boroughs live under such a threat," Judge Scheindlin wrote. "In light of the evidence presented at the hearing, however, I am compelled to conclude that this is the case."
Michael Cardozo, head of the city's Law Department, said city lawyers disagree with the judge's ruling and her assertion that there are "systematic flaws" in the program.
It is the city's position, he said, that "the NYPD already had more than adequate safeguards in place to ensure that its patrols of Clean Halls buildings are lawful." He said any additional training, supervision and monitoring requirements would only place "an unacceptable burden on the NYPD."
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly also criticized the judge's decision, saying it "unnecessarily interferes" with the NYPD's "efforts to use all the crime-fighting tools necessary to keep Clean Halls buildings safe and secure."
NYCLU Executive Director Donna Lieberman, though, called the ruling "a major step toward dismantling the NYPD's stop-and-frisk regime."
Stop and frisk is a police tactic under which officers made more than 685,000 stops last year on suspicion that a crime had been committed. They frisked more than half of those, but charged less than 12%, statistics show. About 90% of those stopped were black or Hispanic.
The police and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg have maintained that stop and frisk has helped keep the city's crime rate at historic lows.
This lawsuit is one of three federal legal challenges to stop and frisk before Judge Scheindlin. Of the three, the Clean Halls lawsuit is the most narrowly defined. The NYCLU found that only 1,663 out of about 15,000 total trespassing stops in the Bronx occurred outside Clean Halls buildings last year. At trial, Columbia Law School Professor Jeffrey Fagan testified his research showed that 1,044, or 63%, of those stops lacked justification.
Barbara Thomas, 30 years old, who lives in a participating building on Selwyn Avenue, said when her nephew visits, he frequently gets stopped and questioned by police. One time, she recalled, her nephew was stopped leaving to get Chinese food. Another time, he was questioned when they both were going to get groceries.
"They're just going overboard," she said. "It's crazy, it's just crazy. You cannot leave in peace."
Joshua Martinez, 20, often visits his aunt in another Clean Halls building on Selwyn Avenue and said he has been confronted by police many times.
"They'll stop you coming out of the building or the lobby and you could tell them, 'Y'all could take me upstairs right now to the apartment I came from' and they'll lie and say 'we went upstairs and checked,'" he said.
"'Let me see your ID, hands on the wall,'" said Rob Dubois, 25, describing what has happened to him when he has visited his mother in a Clean Halls building on Walton Avenue. He said he is skeptical that the judge's ruling will change anything. "They're going to keep on doing it," he said.
Christopher Dunn, the lead attorney for the NYCLU, said the agency will proceed with its case to disband the program across the city. "If New York has any sense, it will use this ruling as an opportunity to start a wholesale reform of stop and frisk," Mr. Dunn said.
The two other stop-and-frisk-related cases in front of Judge Scheindlin are a lawsuit over trespassing in public housing projects and a class-action suit challenging the constitutionality of the broader stop-and-frisk practice, which is slated to go to trial in March.

The Christopher Reeve Superman Collection [8 Discs] for $14.99 + free shipping
Superman: The Movie
Superman II
Superman III
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace
10 Comments add a comment
The only thing that would make this a better deal is if it also included the Donner cut.
DVD in case anyone is wondering.
There is a less fancy version of this (4 Film Favorites) without the bonus discs that is regularly under $10... currently $9.99 at Amazon:
That's not to say this isn't still a great deal, but there is a cheaper option out there.
I just watched Quest for Peace about 3 months ago after not seeing it for about 20 years. I just chalked it up in the same category as Godfather III, Indiana Jones IV and Matrix II/III.... they never happened
@triplebud: You are right, the Donner cut is basically an entire new movie. They took out the campy slapstick stuff and it took on a more dark tone focusing on the decision to give up his powers for an ugly woman.
The New York City fight scene is also much more serious instead of kinda lame in the theatrical release. Also, the cellophane superman symbol attack sequence in the Fortress of Solitude was mercifully cut from Donner's movie
Never heard of this Donner cut, but now I want to see it.
Spoiler alert! The RDC had great improvements: removing the cellophane net, the laughing guy on the pay phone being blown away by Zod & Co., and most dialogue between the rube sheriff and deputy. There's a direct tie-in with the first movie and the Phantom Zone breaking. Lois is also very clever in getting Superman to reveal himself. But I didn't like a few things:
1. It reversed the order of Superman and Lois' "first time." Now that does tie it in with "Superman Returns" (which I dismiss with Superman IV, Higherlander II/III/etc., as having never happened), but then why didn't Superman just refuse to obey his father? "Hey, we've already been together." And channeling Sheldon Cooper: Superman might as well have shot bullets through Lois, unless he practiced coitus interruptus.
2. Zod using a machine gun?
3. The ending. It's no worse than Superman having powers of hypnosis, but it was too easy to fix everything, and the second fight with the bully then makes no sense.
4. And my biggest disappointment: Superman no longer says, "General? Would you care to step outside?" in favor of a wimpy line. Why would Zod have known about it, unless Krypton had its own equivalent of the First Amendment?

Wind chills of at least 20 degrees below zero expected
A mass of bitterly cold air expected to settle over southern Wisconsin this weekend could push temperatures below zero by early next week, with wind chill factors well below zero, the National Weather Service in Sullivan said Wednesday.
Temperatures are expected to remain mostly seasonal until Sunday, when strong northwest winds push into the upper Midwest from Canada, dropping temperatures into the teens Sunday and into the single digits by Monday, the weather service said.
Temperatures could then dip below zero with wind chills of between 20 and 30 degrees below zero possible Monday night, the weather service said.
Resilient Golden Eagles find another way to prevail
Marquette is not the most artful team. Neither is it the most skillful. And you wouldn't necessarily choose it for a backyard game of horse.
But the resourceful No. 25 Golden Eagles are gaining attention for their other qualities that have made them 4-0 in the league as they continue to perilously walk the Big East high wire.
Those balancing-act traits were abundantly apparent again Wednesday night in a 69-62 victory against Seton Hall, Marquette's 19th consecutive at home. »Read Full Article(7)
Republicans unveil mining bill with some 'less stringent' regulations
Republican lawmakers unveiled a bill Wednesday to loosen mining regulations that they said could generate thousands of jobs, but opponents said it would roll back environmental laws and invite extensive litigation.
The measure - nearly identical to a bill that was narrowly defeated last year - debuted at a news conference in the state Capitol a day after Gov. Scott Walker called for quick passage of a mining overhaul in his annual "state of the state" address. Three dozen Republican lawmakers lined up at the news conference in support of the measure, and they frequently invoked Wisconsin's long history of mining to call for the changes.
"Is mining just going to be part of our past or is it going to be part of our future?" said Sen. Tom Tiffany (R-Hazelhurst), one of the bill's lead authors. »Read Full Article(391)
Barrett backs Obama gun proposals

More complaints filed on frequent flier program
More than 100 frequent fliers have filed complaints with the State of Wisconsin this week, saying their Frontier Airlines EarlyReturns miles were never transferred to Delta Air Lines SkyMiles although they met the terms and conditions of the offer.
The Journal Sentinel has received more than 50 emails and calls from Frontier customers after two stories in late December and January chronicled other readers' tribulations trying to convert their miles as part of a promotional program launched in anticipation of Frontier cutting back on its Milwaukee flights this summer.
Now there's one more reason to be hopeful those problems will finally get resolved: The U.S. Department of Transportation is also accepting complaints. While the agency can't legally do much about promotional offers, staff does generally ask airline liaisons to investigate complaints and encourage airlines to "do what's right" and give customers their miles. »Read Full Article(2)
Kenosha County man killed in 3-vehicle crash
Inattentive driving is being blamed for a three-vehicle crash in the Town of Paris Wednesday that killed a 38-year-old Town of Wheatland man, the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department said.
The man, whose identity was not released, rear-ended an eastbound vehicle turning left into a driveway at 12900 State Highway 142 shortly after 4:30 p.m. His vehicle then veered into the opposite lane and was struck by a westbound vehicle.
Four people in the other vehicles were taken to a hospital with injuries that are not life-threatening, the sheriff's department said.
Menomonee River overhaul will improve fish access
Removing 1,100 feet of concrete later this year from the bed of the Menomonee River upstream of the Wisconsin Ave. bridge comes with the promise of fishing for salmon, steelhead and walleye - or just watching their spawning runs - at Hart Park in Wauwatosa and all the way to Menomonee Falls, a state fisheries biologist said Wednesday.
The river's concrete floor from Wisconsin Ave. north to the Canadian Pacific Railway bridge forms a steep chute with fast-flowing and shallow water that is impassable for all but a few Lake Michigan fish, said Will Wawrzyn, a biologist with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources in Milwaukee.
This is not a dam, but its impact on fish is the same, said Henry Koltz, a past president of the Southeast Wisconsin Chapter of Trout Unlimited. »Read Full Article(35)
Aldo Leopold's observations help show effects of climate change
It was not research but the love of nature that led Wisconsin ecologist Aldo Leopold to pen his journals more than half a century ago, meticulously documenting the times of the year that plants bloom, mammals emerge from hibernation and frogs begin to sing.
Now those observations have led to a paper showing that not only are warmer temperatures in the United States leading many plants to bloom earlier, but the changes can be accurately predicted from one year to the next.
Writing in the journal PLOS ONE, Stanley Temple from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and colleagues at Harvard University and Boston University analyzed long-term flowering records on dozens of species kept by Henry David Thoreau beginning in 1852 and by Leopold beginning in 1935. »Read Full Article(48)
Oconomowoc man charged after allegedly torturing cat
City of Oconomowoc — A 40-year-old man was charged with one count of mistreatment of animals and another count of obstructing an officer in Waukesha County Circuit Court on Jan. 16 for allegedly torturing and killing his cat because he believed it was "Satan."
According to the criminal complaint, James P. Walker knocked on the door of his neighbor asking him for help at about 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 1. He told his neighbor that he was kicked out of the Marines because, "he couldn't stop killing," and asked him to look at something in his apartment, the complaint reads.
When the neighbor arrived at the apartment, he noticed broken glass on the kitchen floor and the refrigerator was pulled away from the wall. In the bedroom, the cat laid between the bed and wall, visibly dead, according to the complaint. The defendant, when asked, allegedly said he had killed it, and the neighbor helped the defendant dispose of the cat into an outdoor trash bin, according to the complaint. »Read Full Blog Post(4)

Walker wants broad overhaul of state's rules
Madison - A sweeping overhaul of the state's rules being sought by Gov. Scott Walker would rewrite hundreds of regulations, eliminating dozens of them outright and doing everything from tightening the standards for receiving jobless benefits to changing rules to curb acid rain.
Just before his "state of the state" speech Tuesday, Walker released a report on the findings of a board of small-business owners and lawmakers he commissioned to overhaul the state's regulations and boost the economy.
The report, which represented the only new policy details accompanying Walker's speech, runs the gamut from the controversial to the mundane. The unemployment insurance changes will likely be contentious, since they will make it harder to receive the benefits at a time when many in Wisconsin are still out of work. »Read Full Article(265)

19-year-old man charged in Pewaukee police chase
City of Pewaukee — Charges have been filed in Waukesha County Circuit Court against a 19-year-old West Allis man who allegedly led police on a 2.7 mile high speed car chase through the City of Pewaukee Wednesday morning.
A Waukesha County Sheriff's Department deputy attempted to stop the vehicle, occupied only by the defendant, Donte J. Delamar, at about 1:39 a.m. on Jan. 16 as it drove the wrong way on Highway 164 at Tower Place, according to the criminal complaint. The vehicle fled west on Tower Place and turned into a parking lot, where it "recklessly weaved" through the lot and exited south onto Pewaukee Road, where it failed to stop at a red signal, according to the complaint.
The vehicle eventually reached speeds of 90 to 100 miles per hour on Pewaukee Road, speeding through lights at Northview Road and Moreland Boulevard, before crashing into two telephone poles near Buena Vista Avenue, the complaint reads. »Read Full Blog Post

Minnesota man will face trial in fight after Packers game
Green Bay - A man has pleaded not guilty to charges resulting from a fight after the Minnesota Vikings-Green Bay Packers game last month.
The case against Mark Swanson, of Lakeland, Minn., is now headed for trial. Ashwaubenon public safety officer Robert Messer testified Tuesday in Brown County Circuit Court that a video taken by Swanson's girlfriend shows some pushing and shoving in a bar parking lot between Swanson and Paul Hrubesky after the game Dec. 2. He says it then shows Hrubesky on the ground unconscious.
Swanson is charged with felony battery and disorderly conduct. WLUK-TV reported that defense attorney Brian Maloney said Hrubesky's son started the fight and his client was defending himself. (1)

Did St. Mary's team prayers carry Bama over Notre Dame?
So that Alabama rout of Notre Dame in the BCS National Championship last week? Turns out a few prayers from a girls volleyball team at a Menomonee Falls Catholic school might have given Alabama its edge.
It turns out that the St. Mary's Warriors and Alabama Crimson Tide have been cheering each other on since the fall, when Warriors coach Brad Van Dam used the story of Bama's 2011 championship, a victory over LSU, to motivate his 8th grade team.
Like Alabama in the 2011 championship, the Warriors had lost a key game to a rival earlier in the season. And Van Dam hoped that, like Alabama, the girls would learn from their mistakes, rebuild their confidence and take the championship. And they did. »Read Full Blog Post(11)

Discussion of Innovation Park deal in Wauwatosa turns on butterfly preserve
A fairly dry document outlining the financial relationship between the city and the UWM Real Estate Foundation on the Innovation Park development drew a surprisingly large crowd and inspired lively debate at the Tuesday's Common Council meeting.

River Club owner, Mequon square off over meaning of debated easement
Mequon - River Club of Mequon owner Tom Weickardt has filed a lawsuit against Mequon, alleging the city needs to enforce trespassing on a 42-acre lot abutting the Milwaukee River and keep residents of the Ville du Parc neighborhood out.
The Dec. 4 suit petitions an Ozaukee County judge to compel the city to enforce trespassing and keep locals off the property. Weickardt's attorney argues that the open space agreement governing the lot, which has been subject to debate recently, is "unlike a true easement" and doesn't grant Ville du Parc residents the right to use the property, while also alleging the city hasn't enforced his ownership rights.
The city has since responded to Weickardt's suit, denying any duty to enforce trespassing on the lot on the grounds that no trespassing has yet occurred, that Weickardt's attorney incorrectly draws property rights from the open space easement, and that the easement doesn't create a duty to begin with. »Read Full Article(64)
Marc Trestman to take over as Chicago Bears coach
Green Bay - The Chicago Bears couldn't beat the Green Bay Packers with a defensive guy in charge. So this week, they went offensive. Out is Lovie Smith. In is Marc Trestman.
Known as a quarterback guru of sorts, Trestman has been out of the NFL for eight years. But Trestman is widely known for his work with quarterbacks and did lead the Montreal Alouettes to back-to-back Grey Cup championships in the Canadian Football League. In five years as the team's head coach, Trestman went 64-34.
As noted by the Chicago Tribune, Trestman has a deep history working closely with quarterbacks. The 57-year-old was Bernie Kosar's quarterbacks coach at the University of Miami in 1983, winning a national title. In the NFL, Kosar, Steve Young, Scott Mitchell, Jake Plummer and Rich Gannon all excelled under Trestman. When he was with the Oakland Raiders, Gannon won the MVP award. »Read Full Blog Post(89)

Two armed men rob business in Beaver Dam
Two armed men wearing black ski masks and black hooded sweatshirts robbed the Auto Zone in Beaver Dam of an undisclosed amount of cash Tuesday night after struggling with an employee, Beaver Dam police said.
The men in the 9:01 p.m. robbery were described as white and in their mid-20s. One was armed with a shotgun, and the other with a handgun.
After entering the store, the men ordered the clerks down onto the ground. A struggle ensued between the man with the shotgun and one of the employees. The employee, who was struck in the head with the shotgun, was later transported to the Beaver Dam Community Hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
The men fled with an undisclosed amount of cash in what was described as a newer silver or gray SUV with newer-style taillights. The shotgun was recovered at the scene. (5)

LogistiCare improves hotline hold times
With only a month left in its official contract with the state of Wisconsin, LogistiCare seems to finally have improved the hold times on its hotlines that people have complained about for months.
The Journal Sentinel got a hold of the latest stats about LogistiCare's hotlines, and by the end of 2012, the company had finally come into compliance with its performance standards - the majority of the time.
As we've written before, the company was overwhelmed with calls when it first took over the Milwaukee area on Sept. 1 last year. On two out of three days in September, callers were kept on hold longer than the 2-minute average that the company's contract allows on both the reservations and "Where's my ride" lines. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Northwestern Mutual tower's taxes could pay for road work
The property taxes generated by Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co.'s planned downtown office tower could finance up to $17 million in nearby road work, and other public improvements.
That's according to the newly disclosed financing proposal, which will undergo its first public review on Thursday, at a city Redevelopment Authority board meeting.
Northwestern Mutual in December announced plans to build the office tower, with 30 to 35 stories and an estimated price tag of $300 million to $350 million, after demolishing its 16-story office building south of E. Mason and east of N. Cass streets. »Read Full Blog Post(19)
On Tap Today: Water, a gang of Pirates and a heroes' journey
Water made Milwaukee a destination from the beginning, and new photography exhibits opening Wednesday at Marquette University' Haggerty Museum of Art - "Dark Blue" and "Perimeter" - pay heed to water's power and pull.
Speaking of Marquette, the surprisingly soaring Golden Eagles take on the Pirates of Seton Hall in Big East basketball action at the BMO Harris Bradley Center at 8 p.m.
On the music front, buzzy Minneapolis-based rapper Dessa has a sold-out show at Hotel Foster at 9 p.m.
And it's the second-last day for the brief return trip to movie theaters for "Honor Flight," the documentary chronicling four Midwestern veterans' journey to the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., through the Stars and Stripes Honor Flights. The film is showing at Marcus Theatres' Menomonee Falls, Ridge, Saukville and Showtime cinemas.
Forecast: Windy conditions will bring warmer air
A warm front will help boost temperatures Wednesday into the low 30s for all of southeastern Wisconsin, according to WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) meteorologist Jesse Ritka.
But the warmer weather will come at a price: It will be very windy Wednesday with a southwest wind at 10 to 20 mph, and some gusts will top 30 mph, Ritka says. Clouds will increase as a cold front approaches, giving us a chance for a few flurries and even a light snow shower possible in the north. Flurry chances diminish Wednesday night with seasonal temperatures in the teens.
It will still be breezy overnight and into Thursday when the mercury drops behind the cold front, Ritka says. It will be a quick taste of arctic air with highs in the 20s and a strong wind although it will be mostly sunny. »Read Full Article

Phillips 66 is pursuing development of a 100,000 bpd natural gas liquids (NGL) fractionator to be located in Old Ocean, Texas, close to the company's Sweeny refinery.
Phillips 66 is pursuing development of a 100,000 bpd natural
gas liquids (NGL) fractionator to be located in Old Ocean,
Texas, close to the companys Sweeny refinery,
officials said on Wednesday.
The project would create more than 25
full-time jobs and hundreds of temporary construction jobs. If approved, construction is expected to begin in
the first half of 2014 with startup expected by the second half
of 2015.
This project would enable us to take
advantage of strong existing midstream transportation and
storage infrastructure along with demonstrated operations
excellence, said Phillips 66 CEO Greg Garland.
We see excellent market-facing opportunities to grow the
natural gas liquids business, and the chance to supply purity
NGLs and liquefied petroleum gas to the petrochemical industry and heating
Phillips 66 has a long history in the midstream business
segment, including NGL gathering, long haul transportation,
storage and fractionation. The company owns fractionation
capacity at the Gulf Coast Fractionators (GCF) and Enterprise
fractionators in Mont Belvieu, Texas, as well as the Conway
fractionator in Kansas.
Phillips 66 is the operator of the GCF facility for the joint
NGL feedstock for the Old Ocean
fractionator project would be supplied by several nearby
pipelines avoiding the Mont Belvieu congestion, and purified
products produced by the fractionator would be marketed
primarily to petrochemical customers in the
region with access to Mont Belvieu.
Phillips 66 said it recently sent notices seeking expression of
interest from potential Y-grade suppliers of NGL.
The project is currently in the
engineering design phase, and the company is in the process of
filing for all applicable permits.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

A woman with extraordinary carnal abilities. She is adapt at talking dirty without prompting. She is unusually skilled at fellatio, and "throwing it back" when she is given "back shots." Basically, she is the woman you would kill everyone one on the Earth for because her coochie is so good you go partially blind after you hit it the first time. Recording artist "Plies" gives a description in his song "Shawty" featuring T-Pain. Listen to the song and "bust it baby" will become a natural part of the American lexicon.

Alright another problem that I have. I am trying to give a priority ranking to lots based on various criteria. Basically I have 7 areas that are criteria, if lots overlap each other the criteria is added up and given a sum value (so the highest number could be 7). Now I am trying to create a python script that basically goes through my criteria and adds a value to a field added to an attribute table
For example, I would do a select by location for lots that are within 30m of wetlands - if YES then the field "CRITERIA" would be given a 1, if no it would be a 0 this same selection idea would be done for the rest of my criteria - then what I need is to have it total up the 1's that are in each row into a separate "RANKING" field.

Crowd gathers again in Steubenville to address rape investigation issues
January 6, 2013
STEUBENVILLE — From tense moments with local law enforcement to emotional testimonials by women who said they'd been the victims of sexual assault, Saturday's Occupy Steubenville rally centered......

You can find me on Facebook, with the information I gave you and thereby verify my location. Since you are not smart enough to understand the obvious, I need say no more.. remain "anonymous" I couldn't care..
Now back to the main subject here. I support Anonymous and their efforts to weed out the corruption as it pertains to this poor girl and others like her. I have a daughter myself, and although we do not see eye to eye all the time, I can honestly say that if this were to happen to her, NOONE would stop me from destroying those involved. You might be looking at a murder investigation instead of a rape investigation were that to happen to anyone in my family..

It is very hard to believe that the video was NOT taken by people associated with the rape. There are numerous direct statements made by both the person being taped, and those around him regarding information that can only be firsthand knowledge. One such incident was at 9:07 of the video where it is stated, "you didn't see how they carried her out." To add to this, we as a society tend to jump to conclusions regarding our children.. let's be clear, Unconscious means NO, Videotaping it and putting it on public social media sites = accessory, (we arrest those with child **** on their computers even though they were not the ones creating the tapes), Creating the tape should at least be the same charge we give to these other miscreants. Anyone that does NOT see this as a problem needs to get their heads out of the nether and get fixed. We as a society don't need your donations to the gene pool..

The adults have been complicit in this crime and haven't been brought to justice either. Here is an example of how a school, with a championship team, should react when students commit assault, when their teammates don't assist the victim, and when the coaches turn a blind eye:
"Hamline University men's basketball coach Nelson Whitmore has been indefinitely suspended and 14 players face discipline in connection with an player-on-woman assault that allegedly took place in Spokane, Washington."
A player punched a woman fracturing her face in 3 places and 14 players either saw her attack or saw her unconscious or refused to help. By suspending the students involved, the University temporarily shut down the team which forfeited their games. These students learned their lesson and will be stronger adults in the future. We can't say the same for our boys in Steubenville.
Saccoccia, and especially the assistant coaches involved on the night of the assault, should be fired.

Take a trip to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, to experience the contemporary culture and vibrancy that has come with the recent renaissance. Perched on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, this unique city will enchant you with its bleached limestone buildings, intimate alleyways and easy going charm. Lisbon is a three-hour drive from Porto - a short stay will give you plenty of time to see the sights at your own pace.
An hour's drive from Porto is Aveiro. Known as the 'Portuguese Venice', because of its canals, bridges and painted boats called moliceiros – which are similar to the Venetian gondolas. Hop in the car and explore the stunning sandy beaches of Sao Jacinto, Barra and Costa Nova. This stretch is referred to as the Silver Coast due to its beautiful and clean coastline. Our car hire gives you the opportunity to see it all.
Approximately a 40-minute drive away, Braga is situated in the Cavado Valley of Northern Portugal. A university town that is both ancient and modern, where pedestrianised ancient lanes reveal elegant plazas and spectacular baroque churches. As the oldest Christian city in Portugal, Braga may be well-known for its spirituality, but the old centre is now packed with cafes, boutiques, restaurants and bars. Beyond the city, you'll find the magnificent hillside sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte.
Just 30 miles north of Porto is Guimaraes. Situated in the wine region of Minho, this is one of the most historic cities in Portugal and well worth a visit. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2001 and named as the European Capital of Culture in 2012, its history may be vast but the city is young in spirit. Admire the cities squares and monuments as you drive – with Mt Penha providing a picturesque backdrop.
Thought of as one of Portugal's most beautiful cities, Viana do Castelo is famous for its monuments, amazing views of the Lima River and surrounding natural beauty. Just an hour from Porto, this northern Portuguese city is situated in the Minho-Lima sub region. Hire a car and combine hours spent in the medieval centre, with days exploring the stunning beaches which are just outside the city. If you have time, it is also a great base for visiting the lower Lima Valley.


text: I am trying to use hwloc on a Blue Gene/Q. Building and installing worked fine, and it reports the system configuration fine as well (i.e. it shows all PUs). However, when I try to inquire the thread/core bindings, hwloc crashes with an error in libc's free(). This is both with 1.6 and 1.6.1rc1. The error occurs apparently in CPU_FREE called from hwloc_linux_find_kernel_nr_cpus.Does this ring a bell with anyone? I know this is not enough information to debug things, but do you have any pointers for things to look at? I remember reading somewhere that the last bit in a cpu_set_t cannot be used. A Blue Gene/Q has 64 PUs, and may be using 64-bit integers to hold cpu_set_t data. Could this be an issue? My goal is to examine and experiment with thread/core bindings with OpenMP to improve performance.-erik-- Erik Schnetter <email@example.com> http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/personal/eschnetter/

In Florida, where the temperatures can soar and remain in the 90's and above for months, it can be a challenge to keep the house at what is considered "acceptable" temperature for fermentation.
The wet t-shirt and swamp cooler method is probably insufficient for temperatures in the mid 90's.
Controlling fermentation temperature is one of the best things you can do to make good beer!
Like Florida, the temperatures in East Texas get stupid-hot eight months out of the year. Last year I built myself a duck-in cooler powered by a small window air conditioner. I can get the temperatures down to the mid-sixties, and probably further if I take apart the AC's thermostat. See my blog for details.
A fellow brewer recently donated a chest freezer to me and I had a Johnson Controls external thermostat. This combination is ideal for fermenting because the freezer fits a few carboys and the thermostat keeps the temperature within 3° F of your target. I made my first (real) lager, a CAP, in the freezer.
There is also a Low Tech Lagering DVD. I have not seen it yet, but I trust that James over at Basic Brewing Radio knows what he's talking about.
One of the cheapest solutions I have heard of is to immerse the carboy in a Rubbermaid water cooler filled with water. The water will act as a great insulator. To heat or cool to keep the temperature within the range you are looking for you can use a fish tank heater and ice packs. This method obviously means you will be needing to check on your beer quite often, but more so if you are trying to cool it with the ice packs (every 4 -6 hours). The heating part of it requires little attention, since you would get to set the thermostat. The thing that is most appealing about this solution to me is that it does not take up much more space than the carboy normally did. I have never actually done this, but the method was recommended to me by my local homebrew shop.
Rubbermaid water cooler $68: http:// www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-1610-01-11-DISC-10GAL-Orange-Cooler/dp/B00002N9F4
Aquarium heater $22: http:// www.aquariumguys.com/ebojager4.html
Here is a link to a more automated version of this solution: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/water-fermentation-chiller-81501/
Build a fermentaion chamber.
One of the best homebrew purchases I ever made was a dorm-style mini fridge (without freezer) that I removed the shelves from to create the perfect-sized fermentation fridge. This is controlled by an external Johnson controller, allowing me to dial in whatever fermentation temperature I want. It's ideally sized for buckets and carboys.
The fridge cost about $200 new, plus you'll need some kind of flat material (I used plexiglass) to secure the rubber seal back onto the inside of the door after you remove the door shelves.
Now the only problem is I wish I had a second one for double batches or for lagering. I bet you could lager at least 2 or maybe 3 batches in cornies at one time. Edit: I can fit 2 cornies in my Sanyo 4912.
I'm in Vegas and have the same challenge. During the summer my house is usually at or near 80 degrees inside. I intend to eventually move to a chest freezer and thermostat, but for now I use a low-dollar method similar to what Jordan recommended. I just put the carboy in a Rubbermaid storage bin (instead of a cooler), fill it half-way with water, then drape towels/rags/shirts over the exposed part of the carboy making sure both ends hang in the water. If normal evaporation isn't doing enough to keep the temp down I have a small fan that boosts the effect. Two problems: you have to make sure the water level doesn't drop too far and this may not work well in FL due to the high humdity.
Use your basement or buy a mini fridge and set the temp to 70.
Nowadays I'm using a thermostat plugged in an old fridge with a probe inside the fridge. So I can program the temperature the fridge will stay.

|Joined Eric for his 51st fourteener. Got an early start to beat the predicted thunderstorms and other hazards. Had the mountain to ourselves all day except for one mountain goat on the summit (8:30am). Ascended a bit climbers right which proved a little more tricky, descended easier route.

|incredible and scary climb. We took a couloir and two large snowfields up to the 13000' saddle. From there we followed the standard route mostly to the summit. A 5.7 pitch or two was our reward for losing the route above the green rock. We descended the standard route where we could find it. Perfect day, awesome partners...

|My last 14er (& climb) for this Colorado trip. Did with Faith (her 2nd 14er!). Left the trailhead at 7.11. Made good time. Interesting climbing from pass. While rock far from great, was really not too bad. Passed 15 people on the way up/down. Route-finding interesting- NE 'ridge' somewhat misleading, as the actual route sort of zig-zags up the path of least resistance. Summited at 11.59, & hung out for ~.5 hour before descending. Views great, & that of the Bells abolutely phenomenal. MUST do the Bell Cord Couloir (& Maroon-N Maroon traverse)! Clouds looked threatening upon starting descent, but turned out to be benign (we did see a few snowflakes which, however, soon ceased). Saw 1 or 2 herds of mountain goats (maybe 10 total), which I always feel blessed for (there was a cute little kid (literal) too!). Those things are amazing climbers! Back at TH at 4:20. Excellent day, amazing peak, & great company! 20 more to go.

|This was my first Class 4 14er and it tested me mentally and physically. Climbed with fellow SPer, Alan Arnette, on the NE Ridge route. The biggest difference between this mountain and all others I've hiked/climbed is the last 1000' - attention to detail, hold tests, exposure just doesn't stop. Overall a great mountain!

|Pyramid is a demanding mountain and requires your complete attention. The Green Couloir is probably the sketchiest part of the route.
CFI did a great job on the route up the slope to the basin and the entire route was well cairned. Very easy to follow.
What a great mountain and well deserved of its reputation as one of the more challenging 14ers.

|A wonderful day and overall enjoyable scramble via the NE ridge. Kudos to the 14er initiative for great work on the approach trails. I would say that the difficulty is a bit overrated, as it can easily be kept at class 3 without too much routefinding struggle. If you are looking for more of a challenge, however, you can enjoy some 4th and 5th class excitement nearer to the ridge, provided you don't mind the exposure. The rock is not as rotten as I had anticipated, especially compared to scrambles in the San Juans. Given the abundant snowfall, there is still a possibility to glissade most of the gullies on the return, shaving up to an hour off your descent. Enjoy!

|Climb like an Egyptian
Date Climbed: Jul 20, 2008
|Up & down the NE Ridge Route. Great weather for a late start. Everyone else there was already coming down, which gave us the whole place to ourselves for most of the day. Pretty sweet on a Sunday, especially on a peak like this. This route is certainly not very sustained class 4 if you pay attention to where you're going. Crumbly, though the rock under the crud actually isn't so bad, it's just covered with a layer of mess that forces you to think more about your placements. I brushed the gravelly stuff aside several times to reveal a hold that was plenty solid. A thoroughly enjoyable climb, a little sketchy, but far less than I had prepared myself for.

The act of stealing, appropriating, or simply picking up an unattended drink, with the intention of aquiring it as your own.
I couldn't afford a drink so I scouted out the club and went minesweeping - I came back with two pints and a glass of something purple, with an octopus in it! Drank it anyway.

commonly used by poor male students across the u.k. who have little or no care about the possibility of contracting oral herpes, this is the act of loitering around an unattended drink, casually picking it up and making off with it as if it were your own.
guy 1 (with a pint of stella): mate, what the fuck you doing with that low cal blueberry flavoured bacardi breezer?

The act of going into a club and quickly realizing you don't have the money to pay for your next drink. So instead you resort to covertly stealing other peoples drinks that have been left unattended whilst praying not to hit a mine (taking a swig of an undesirable drink).
May be performed as a team one person acting as a buffer or shield for the drink whilst another distracts the target leaving the third person available for the drink steal.

Can mean stealing peoples unattended drinks. But it's usually applied to the act of drinking left over drinks in a bar left by other customers in order to get intoxicated on the cheap. Usually done by people who are highly drunk or very poor. Or a mix of any of the above.
Quentin ran out of money, but wasn't quite ready to finish drinking. He mine swept the bar area for dregs until he was sufficiently watered. A group of revellers noticed Quentin mine sweeping and immediately coiled with disgust.
by C_B August 26, 2008
A fairly despicable habit originating in student bars in the UK. After the bar is shut, but while people are still in the venue, the more desperate alcoholic will go round collecting any half-full abandoned drinks he can find, and neck them without anybody noticing. The more drunk you get, the more likely it will be that you drink out of a glass that someone's used as an ashtray. Another possibly hazard is rohypnol.
Tom: Hey buddy where d'you get those drinks from -the bar shut half an hour ago?
Dick: Oh I just went minesweeping round those tables at the back.

Incoming fall students enjoy a sunset on campus during one of the college's orientation sessions.
GENESEO, N.Y. - Incoming freshmen and transfer students have completed their orientation visit this summer in preparation for life on the Geneseo campus when classes begin in September.
Some 1,150 students attended one of seven orientation sessions, according to Kim Harvey, director of new student programs at Geneseo.
"The summer sessions are very successful as they help ease fears and build excitement about entering college life on our campus," said Harvey. "Our focus is on academic and social transition and we are getting excellent feedback that the students are getting exactly what they need."
The students attending orientation register for classes and at the end of the two-day session leave with their class schedule. Fall classes begin at Geneseo Aug. 27.
Assisting Harvey in the college's orientation program are 22 orientation advisers and three student orientation coordinators.

I am a professional and fine art photographer based in Salinas Valley on the Central Coast of California. I have recently starting doing some commercial work for the local vineyards and wineries in the area.
I would like to offer panoramas that can print up to 30-40 inches long on Photo Rag and Canvas. By 30-40 inches long, this means that 30-40 inches would be the long side and the width would be shorter.
In terms of my camera gear, I use the Canon 5D Mark II with the BGE-6 Battery Grip, Canon 24-105L, and Canon 70-200 f/2.8L IS lenses.
I plan on using the PTGUI application for photo-stitching and doing my color corrections, hue/saturation, selections. sharpening, and everything else in Photoshop.
Based on these print requirements and my equipment, what Nodal Ninja setup do you recommend? My goal is to be as efficient as possible as I will be charging clients for my time both in the field and during post-production work.
Thanks in advance and I look forward to your feedback.
Happy New Year,
Ross Borgida
