1932 Ford Roadster - One More TimeWritten by Eric Geisert on June 1, 2012 George Jezek's '32 roadster
Very few people can lay claim to having their cars featured in STREET RODDER multiple decades following the magazine's debut in 1972, but George Jezek can. In fact, in just the sixth magazine ever produced (Oct. '72 issue), you can find a feature on a candy blue, chopped-and-channeled '31 sedan he used to own (with an article by Brian Brennan no less). Though the 70-year-old has owned several hot rods since, it can all be traced back to high school when he cruised around town in a '49 Chevy custom (his first "serious" car) that he also took on the show circuit.
An architect by trade, you can probably guess George's attention to detail has served him well in both his profession as well as his hobby, and you'd be right. His latest endeavor—a classically appointed Deuce roadster—is a great combination of vintage hot rod looks and contemporary parts and pieces.
When designing a commercial building or a residence, an architect will often be presented with a list from the client that contains specific elements they want to have included in the completed piece. The same method is used when building a hot rod, and the success of the finished design directly relates to not only how well the builder sticks to the design's overall theme, but how well he understands the concept. As it turns out, George understands what a 1932 Ford roadster should look like.
Based in Waco, Texas, George started the project with an original '32 Ford firewall (after filling its 53 holes) and built the car around it, spending two-and-a-half years in the process. The frame, set up with a 106-inch wheelbase, came from Pete & Jakes but was slightly modified to George's tastes. Pinched just 3/4 inch, the frame has tubular crossmembers and a C-notch in the rear. To set it apart, the flair in the side rail was built up slightly and the front spreader bar was peaked. The rear spreader bar features a sculpted line in it that makes it appear like a reflection of the gas tank, which really isn't a gas tank. The car's fuel tank, from Tanks Inc., is located between the seat back and the trunk. The exterior tank, which is louvered, is just for looks as the notch for the rearend would have cut down on its capacity. The lower section of the stock tank is also raised so observers can see the rearend easier. The rear suspension parts include a Posies Model A spring with tapered ends and reversed eyes along with Pete & Jakes shocks and ladder bars. Up front is a Super Bell I-beam with the logo removed and lightning holes added, and Pete & Jake batwings and long hairpins work with the Pete & Jakes shocks.
Braking is handled by a set of Ford Motorsports 11-inch drums connected to a Winters quick-change rear (4.11:1) and, up front, vented Super Bell discs with four-piston Wilwood calipers. The rollers are polished kidney bean wheels from PS Engineering, with a 15x6 wrapped in 165R15 Arizonian tire taking up residence in the front while 16x8s shod in Coker/Firestone 8.90-16 rubber are found in the rear.
To put the "hot" in his hot rod, George chose a 383 crate motor from Pace, which is rated at 425 hp. With a 4340 steel alloy crank, forged 5.7-inch rods, aluminum alloy hypereutectic pistons, and a hydraulic roller camshaft, the small-block is put together well. Up top twin Edelbrock 500-cfm carbs feed aluminum Fast Burn heads (with a 2.00/1.55-inch intake/exhaust valve combo) and exhaust exits through Sanderson block-hugger headers, 2.5-inch exhaust tubing, and a pair of 30-inch Stainless Specialties mufflers. George's roadster is a three-pedal model, with a Tremec TKO-500 five-speed used for gear selection.
The body, a Brookville Roadsters creation, has a handful of custom touches, including a modified rear beltline. Speedway windshield stanchions are used with a 2-inch chop, though the removable top (from Rod Top) had its center bow raised for a more pronounced profile. The '32 radiator shell was filled and peaked and the four-piece hood from Rootlieb is covered in four rows of louvers (216 to be exact).
George also prepped and painted ('40 Ford maroon) his car using a two-stage PPG urethane, though the inside section of the chassis (the area you see when you get down on your hands and knees to look under the car) is done in a bright Chevy pickup Torch Red, which usually surprises the observer. The exterior is finished off with a set of spun brass Autolamp headlights George found at a swap meet and then painted, the '39 Ford taillights are from Bob Drake, and a pair of '32 Ford cowllights were mounted to the framehorns and used as turn indicators. Inside the cockpit a Ron Francis Bare Bonz wiring kit links Classic Instrument gauges, and a 15-inch, '40 Ford-type Lecarra steering wheel mounts to an ididit steering column.
You wouldn't think a third seat from a Plymouth Voyager minivan would look right in a traditional-styled Ford roadster, but George made it work by narrowing it and reshaping a portion of it to follow the contour of the cockpit's beltline. Ray Spears, from Granbury, Texas, covered the seat and other interior pieces in a buckskin-colored, rolled-and-pleated Naugahyde, adding euro-style square-weave carpet below. There are some other items in George's interior that you can't see, such as the heater unit up under the dash and the Rostra cruise control, whose controls are also mounted under the dash.
Subtlety is one of the hardest things to bring into a design, and there are many folks out there who have a ham-fisted approach to car building, but George Jezek understands what a hot rod should look like, and went about building a car whose look can only be described as timeless.

Probably this is a trivial question, but I am unable to find an answer: is there a function $v(x)$ such that $$ \int_{0}^\infty x^n e^{v(x)} dx =\frac{1}{n!} $$ for all positiv integer n?
Your question is a special case of the Hamburger moment problem: given a sequence of positive numbers $(\mu_n)_{n\geq 0}$ decides if there exists a positive measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}$ such that $\newcommand{\bR}{\mathbb{R}}$
$$\mu_n=\int_{\bR} x^n \mu(|dx|),\;\;\forall n=0,1,2,\dotsc. $$
There exist many necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such a measure. The classical text The Laplace Transform by D.V. Widder is a good place to look, especially Section 10-13 of Chapter III. Here is a link to the book.
Addendum 1. If you do not care about the positivity of the measure $\mu$ then we have the following result of R.P. Boas. (See Section 14, Chapter III of Widder's book)
For any sequence of real numbers $(\mu_n)_{n\geq 0}$ there exists a signed measure $\mu$ on $[0,\infty)$ with the following properties
$$ \mu_n=\int_0^\infty x^n \mu(dx) ,\;\;\forall n=0,1,2,\dotsc, \tag{1} $$
$$\int_0^\infty|\mu|(dx)<\infty.\tag{2} $$
Recall that any signed measure $\mu$ is the difference of two positive measures $\mu=\mu^+-\mu^-$ and the total variation mesure is $|\mu|=\mu^++\mu^-$. On the semiaxis $[0,\infty)$ a signed measure $\mu$ has the from $\mu=d\alpha$, where $\alpha$ is a function of bounded variation on compact intervals.
Addendum 2. Consider the Fourier transform of the measure $\mu$ in Addendum 1. We have $\newcommand{\ii}{\boldsymbol{i}}$
$$ \widehat{\mu}(\xi):=\int_{\bR} e^{-\ii\xi x} \mu(dx) =\sum_{n\geq 0}\mu_n\frac{(-\ii\xi)^n}{n!}.\tag{3} $$
There is an obvious problem with the above equality: the series in the right-hand side may not be convergent for all $\xi$ if the momenta $\mu_n$ grow too fast. In fact if the momenta grow fast, there exist at least two measures $\mu$, $\mu'$ satisfying both (1) and (2) above. In your case the $\mu_n$ decay very fast and my guess is that $\mu$ is unique. (The series in the right-hand side of (3) converges for any $\xi$ so it defines a continuous function $f(\xi)$ which can be viewed as the Fourier transform of $\mu$ in the sense of distributions. Now use the Fourier inversion formula to recover $\mu$.)
In any case, the space of solutions of (1) (2) is completely understood. A good place to look is Akhiezer book The Classical Moment problem or Chapter 16 in the book Unbounded selfadjoint operators on Hilbert space by Konrad Schmudgen. The story is quite rich.
Such a function would have to satisfy: $$\int(1-x)^2e^{v(x)}dx=-\frac12,$$ but the left hand side is clearly non-negative...
EDIT: Another contradiction for positive exponents is $$\int x(1-x)^4e^{v(x)}dx = -\frac{19}{120}$$
No. For the integral to make sense, $v$ must be at least measurable. Let $$X_k=\{x\in [1,\infty): v(x)>-k\}$$ and note that $[1,\infty)=\cup_{k\in\mathbb N} X_k$ so some set $X_k$ has positive measure by countable subadditivity. Then $$\int_0^\infty x^n e^{v(x)}dx\ge \int_{X_k} x^n e^{v(x)}dx\ge \int_{X_k} e^{-k}dx > \frac{1}{n!}$$ for sufficiently large $n$.
Suppose you are not wedded to the interval $(0,\+\infty)$.
If $C$ is the unit circle in the complex plane, oriented in the counter-clockwise direction as usual, then $$ \frac{1}{2\pi i}\oint_C z^n \frac{e^{1/z}}{z}\;dz = \frac{1}{n!} $$ for $n=0,1,2,\dots$

UNDP Orientation for Bhutan's new Parliament
Thimphu - Over two days, UNDP facilitated sessions in the government's orientation programme for National Council and National Assembly members. A half-day session was held with National Council members on 3rd October 2013, and a two-hour session with National Assembly members on 7th October 2013.
The objective of the programme was to ensure that members of Parliament both new and old were acquainted on the UN's work in Bhutan. Hideko Hadzialic, UNDP Resident Representative a.i., shared experiences and lessons from UNDP's support to Parliamentary development around the world.
UNDP Bhutan staff presented and facilitated discussion on the Human Rights and Environmental Conventions, Treaties and agreements to which Bhutan is a signatory, as well as Parliaments' roles in relation to them. Lively discussions were also held on the opportunities for the Parliament and UNDP to work together on common priority goals and interests in the course of the 11th Five Year Plan, 2014-2018.
Shaheen Nilofer, Resident Coordinator a.i in her statement stressed on "public service delivery must work for all and most importantly for the poor", further adding that the UN system supports parliamentarians in "strengthening democratic systems of governance that works particularly for the poor and the excluded". She acknowledged the government's efforts on the Millennium Development Goals and the post-2015 development agenda for Bhutan, and reminded that there are still some unfinished development goals to be met. She also cautioned the government, "We all know, people judge the quality of governance by their experience with public services and weak governance in turn undermines public service quality".
Ms. Angela Ison, UN Women, presented on Gender-Sensitive Parliaments, which inspired discussions with both National Council and National Assembly members. Mr. Dorji Wangdi, representing Zhemgang and Mr. Ritu Raj Chettri, Samtse representative requested the UN officials to share views on the introduction of the quota system which calls for equal women's representation in Bhutan's parliament. They deliberated on whether the system was the solution for resolving women's participation in Bhutan.
Ms. Angela Ison, UN Women also elaborated that a parliament that responds to the "needs and interests of both women and men in its structures, operations and methods by removing the barrier to women's full participation may be called a gender-sensitive parliament".
The Orientation concluded with the members of Parliament more informed on their roles and the responsibilities of the legislative process. Members thanked the UN staff for the presentations and hoped for effective partnership during the 11th Five Year Plan.

I have a lot (over a thousand places) of legacy
T-SQL code that only makes
INSERTs into a
varchar(8000) column in a utility table. Our needs have changed and now that column needs to be able to handle larger values. As a result I need to make that column
varchar(max). This is just a plain data column where there are no searches preformed on it, no index on it, only one procedure reads it, it is
INSERT and forget for the application (almost like a log entry).
I plan on making changes in only a few places that will actually generate the larger data, and in the single stored procedure that processes this column.
- Are there any hidden pitfalls changing a column from
varchar(8000)to a
- Will all the
T-SQLstring functions work the same,
SUBSTRING(), etc.
- Can anyone imagine any reason why I'd have to make any changes to the code that thinks the column is still

If someone comes up to daven as a chazzan, and you have questions about how kosher they are or whether they're truly shomer shabbos, are you allowed to still use him as a chazzan, or are there halachic ramifications?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
If you know the fellow publicly flouts shabbos-observance, then we have a problem. (And what does "publicly flout" mean in today's world is another question; Rabbi Joseph Soloveichik is quoted as saying that if he'd be embarrassed to be seen doing it while the rabbi walked by, that's still not "publicly flouting.")
Rabbi Shternbuch was asked regarding a small community in South Africa which, for High Holidays, had to choose between a cantor who kept a lot but not shabbos; and one who kept everything, but as he was a Kohen and couldn't have his non-Jewish girlfriend convert, married her anyhow. What was worse, the shabbos violator or the married-to-a-non-Jew? Messy dilemma, rabbis debated this one.
But generally, best not to worry about it, unless having this fellow daven will cause a storm, e.g. he openly flouts community standards. Here's Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 128:7, regarding choosing a chazzan for High Holidays (for which the bar is higher):
One more note: with regards to who you call to the Torah, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein felt that the average non-observant Jew is okay (though observant is slightly more preferable).

Well, At Least There's Northwestern
For the Big Ten, a Long 2012 Leads to Yet Another Rough New Year's Day
Pasadena, Calif.
For three quarters Tuesday, the Rose Bowl seemed like that Clint Eastwood commercial at halftime of last year's Super Bowl about an auto-producing Rust Belt city rising up to reclaim its former glory. It had been a staggering year for the Big Ten Conference, but here was Wisconsin, threatening to topple newly glamorous Stanford.
The Badgers were as unheralded a team as the 99-year game had seen. They were its first five-loss squad, and were recovering from losing seven coaches to other programs since last season, including head coach Bret Bielema in an oddly lateral move to Arkansas.
But before Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany could record a stirring voice-over about conference jobs being outsourced to the South, the Cardinal kicked a 22-yard field goal and sealed a 20-14 victory with an interception, preserving the painful status quo.
The Rose Bowl carried over the conference's dismal vibe of 2012, which was a good year to stockpile Pabst Blue Ribbon in a windowless room and hibernate. Delany rang in that year by warning that a plus-one (remember that?) postseason football format was a "slippery slope" that would lead to an ever-expanding playoff. But by June, Delany and other college-football leaders had joined the landslide, adding a four-team playoff that will replace the Bowl Championship Series in 2014.
The Big Ten watched two of its flagship teams—Ohio State and Penn State—serve postseason bans for NCAA transgressions. The conference also watched longtime man-crush Notre Dame finally commit, sort of, by agreeing to play five football games annually with the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Big Ten wrapped up the year by caving to TV-market lust and embracing football nonentities Maryland and Rutgers as future members.
It was a year to forget—and then the Big Ten went 1 for 5 in Tuesday's bowl games.
No. 8-ranked Stanford beat the traditionally rugged Big Ten at its own game, holding prolific rusher Montee Ball to one touchdown and Wisconsin scoreless in the second half to notch its first Rose Bowl victory since 1972.
Barry Alvarez, who was 3-0 in the game as Wisconsin's coach in the 1990s, coached in Bielema's place as the Badgers lost the Rose Bowl for the third straight year.
The unranked Badgers weren't exactly the Big Ten's best and brightest this season. They landed in the Rose Bowl by emerging from the same division as Ohio State and Penn State, who finished ahead of them, then beating Nebraska in the Big Ten championship game.
Also on Tuesday, Michigan hung with South Carolina in the Outback Bowl despite an onslaught of big plays and the battering of pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney, whose signature hit sent running back Vincent Smith's helmet flying. But the Wolverines lost 33-28 on a 32-yard, last-minute touchdown pass by backup quarterback Dylan Thompson.
Nebraska stayed with Georgia in the Capital One COF -0.59 % Bowl for three quarters before falling victim to Aaron Murray's five touchdown passes and simply falling short, 45-31. It was the Cornhuskers' third consecutive loss in a bowl game.
Poor Purdue (6-7) played out of its league and was annihilated by Oklahoma State, 58-14, in the Heart of Dallas Bowl. That game gets the seventh pick out of the Big Ten, which this season was like getting the third choice of seats in a Miata.
The Big Ten's stirring consolation prize came from an unlikely color: purple. Northwestern beat Mississippi State, 34-20, in the Gator Bowl, its first bowl victory since the 1949 Rose Bowl. On the field, the Wildcats and coach Pat Fitzgerald celebrated like they had just won National Merit scholarships.
The Big Ten soon will share its near-monopoly on New Year's Day—it has tie-ins in five of the six games—with the playoff, and there are no guarantees the conference will have a team in it. The nation's top four will make the four-team field, and recent finishes suggest it could be laden with those from college football's Legion of Doom, the Southeastern Conference.
But the Big Ten's lost season did hint at hope. Penn State was a surprisingly competitive 8-4 in the first year of its four-postseason ban in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky sex-abuse scandal. Ohio State went 12-0 despite its postseason ban, and both Michigan and the Buckeyes have been recruiting at an SEC level. They rank first and fifth, respectively, in Scout.com's recruiting rankings for 2013.
February's signing day aside, Big Ten fans might be forgiven for rooting for a slow-news off-season. There's much to prepare for, and in the last year before the playoff, hibernation is not an option.

Back to Previous Page | Curriculum Home
PTP5120T: AP Computer Science AB/DL (2013-2014)
CURRICULUM PROGRAM: Career and Technical Education
COURSE TITLE: AP Computer Science AB/DL
COURSE LENGTH: 36 weeks
SUGGESTED PREPARATION: Java Programming I, Visual Basic Programming I
About the Program:
AP Computer Science A serves as an introductory course in computer science and contains content that is equivalent to a first semester University level Computer Science course. It is not expected, however, that all students in an AP Computer Science course will major in computer science at the university level. An AP Computer Science course is intended to serve both as an introductory course for computer science majors and as a course for people who will major in other disciplines that require significant involvement with computing. AP Computer Science A focuses around developing computer programs or parts of programs to correctly solve a problem. Students will also learn about program design principles that will allow them to write programs that are understandable, adaptable and reusable. Students will also be introduced to other important computer science concepts including the development and analysis of algorithms, the development and use of fundamental data structures. Students will also be exposed to the topics of design and abstraction. Students will also gain an understanding of the basic hardware and software components of computer systems. Assessments and student work focuses on correctly solving real world problems and applying programming skills in a variety of ways, as well as understanding the basics of design concepts and data structures. Knowledge of basic algebra and experience in problem solving is beneficial. Students should also possess competence in written communication. Students are expected to take the AP exam at the end of this course.
Major Concepts/Content: (AP Course Description Booklet, Pg 7)
- Object Oriented Program Design: The overall goal for designing a piece of software (computer program) is to correctly solve the given problem. At the same time, this goal should encompass specifying and designing a program that is understandable, can be adapted to changing circumstances, and has the potential to be reused in whole or in part. The design process needs to be based on a thorough understanding of the problem to be solved.
- Program Implementation: The overall goals of the program implementation parallel those of program design. Classes that fill common needs should be built so that they can be reused easily in other programs. Object oriented design is an important part of program implementation.
- Program Analysis: The analysis of programs includes examining and testing programs to determine whether they correctly meet their specifications. It also includes the analysis of programs or algorithms in order to understand their time and space requirements when applied to different data sets.
- Standard Data Structures: Data structures are used to represent information within a program. Abstraction is an important theme in the development and application of data structures.
- Standard Algorithms: Standard Algorithms serve as examples of good solutions to standard problems. Many are intertwined with standard data structures. These algorithms provide examples of analysis of program efficiency.
- Computing in Context: A working knowledge of the major hardware and software components of computer systems is necessary for the study of computer science, as is the awareness of the ethical and social implications of computing systems.
Course Objectives: (AP Course Description Booklet, Pg 7)
- Students will be able to design and implement computer-based solutions to problems in several application areas.
- Students will learn well-known algorithms and data structures.
- Students will be able to develop and select appropriate algorithms and data structures to solve problems.
- Students will be able to Code fluently in an object oriented paradigm using the programming language Java. Students are expected to be familiar with and be able to use standard Java library classes from the AP Java subset.
- Students will be able to read and understand a large program consisting of several classes and interacting objects. Students should be able to read and understand description of the design and development process leading to such a program. (Examples of such programs are the AP Computer Science Case Studies.)
- Students will be able to identify the major hardware and software components of a computer system, their relationship to one another, and the roles of these components within the system.
- Students will be able to recognize the ethical and social implications of computer use.
Course Philosophy: This is a very student centered class where students engage with the material while learning to work collaboratively, as well as independently. This is a higher level computer science course combining both program development and concrete application. Higher order problem solving with critical thinking and creativity are necessary to go beyond the initial programming skills to develop new applications.

Mitt Romney surprised a bunch of schoolchildren in Fairfield, Virginia, today by making an unexpected pit stop at their elementary school.
Needless to say, however, none of the kids was more surprised than the young girl in AP photographer Evan Vucci's snapshot above, which is best when viewed without a single shred of context.
Del Ray pretty much ended this caption contest before it began with his reappropriation of the classic New Yorker catchall caption "Christ, what an asshole!" — but you're welcome to caption in the photo's general direction below.

Disney to Reboot "The Rocketeer" With Black Female Lead
This Wednesday marks the release of writer Bryan Q. Miller's Batgirl 19, an issue in which "the "Order of the Scythe unleashes its first weapon in their war on Batgirl". Miller was kind enough to do an email interview with me last week. I was surprised he was able to make the time, as I found out in the course of our discussion last week was also when he officially cleaned out his Smallville offices, where he served as executive story editor in the show's final season. In addition to discussing Miller's thoughts on Batgirl, we also delve into the collaborative aspect of writing Smallville. Miller also takes this interview as an opportunity to ask fans of the book to help spread the word about how great a series it is. As a fan of the series myself, I hope word of mouth on the series continues to grow and agree with Miller's belief that "Stephanie Brown is ready for a bigger spotlight".
Tim O'Shea: I'm looking forward to Batgirl going up against Slipstream, if for nothing else to see how she tackles someone with superspeed. Was that part of the appeal of pitting those two characters against each other?
Bryan Q. Miller: Batgirl's been very re-active, as opposed to pro-active. As the Reapers start throwing themselves at her, she'll have to learn to start being more of the latter, and less of the former. What someone with superspeed (like Slipstream) does for Steph is forces her to have to think even faster on her feet. Their first encounter may not go all that well, either.

It seems that occasionally my friends and I have issues connecting with each other. I'm assuming this is a firewall/router issue, although it could be something else. Under Network Settings in the game, I have it set to 'Friends Only' so it shouldn't be an issue with my game settings.
Borderlands 2 uses steamworks, and according to Chrisf they don't use any other special ports, so the standard steam answers apply.
Steam Client
Dedicated or Listen Servers
Steamworks P2P Networking and Steam Voice Chat
Also, there are several ISPs which block ports required for the proper operation of Steam and Steam games:
Furthermore, Steam has their own connectivity support doc with the basic check your firewall, av software, etc. that you could try here.
The only interesting thing I see on it is starting steam with -tcp to force it to use all TCP ports instead of UDP, if that's messing something up on your end.
EDIT: I forgot that Borderlands 2 is integrated with Steam unlike the first Borderlands, so @Kexlox answer has the correct information for fixing your problem.
An alternative is for you and your friends to download a program that emulates LAN. There are many programs that do this, including GameRanger and Hamachi. I personally recommend Tunngle, as it is what me and my friends currently use and it has support for a large range of games. Not that it's the best - but Tunngle will for sure get you and your friends playing. Don't forget to change from 'Friends Only' to 'LAN' in Network Settings in-game once you have set one of these programs up!

Hey, kids: Do you like birds and love to draw or paint? Georgia's fifth annual Youth Birding Competition is offering a T-shirt Art Contest for resident children and teens. Many famous ornithologists were bird artists when they were young, so perhaps you could be the next John James Audubon, Roger Tory Peterson or David Allen Sibley!
A winner will be picked from each of these age categories: primary (pre-K-2nd), elementary (3rd-5th), middle school (6th-8th) and high school. One winner will be awarded the grand prize – their artwork will appear on the 2010 Youth Birding Competition T-shirt and they'll receive a $100 gift card to Michaels. The three other winners will each receive a $50 Michaels gift card, redeemable for art supplies.
Entering is easy. Participants must draw or paint their favorite Georgia bird on paper or sheet canvas (at least 8 by 10 inches but no larger than 11 by 17 inches). Mail it in a large envelope – flat, not folded – in time to be received by 4:30 p.m. on March 8, 2010, to: GA DNR-WRD, YBC Art Contest (Attn: Linda May), 2065 US Hwy. 278 SE, Social Circle, GA 30025.
On a separate piece of paper, gently taped to the back of the artwork, include the participant's name, school, age, grade level, mailing address, phone number, parent or teacher's e-mail address and species name of the bird depicted. The illustrated bird must be native to Georgia. Please make sure the bird is the main focus of the artwork, and draw or paint its features as accurately as possible. Also keep in mind that rich colors will show up better on a T-shirt than faint pencil drawings.
Only one entry per person is allowed, and it must be the child's artwork. Participation in the Youth Birding Competition is encouraged but not required to submit artwork for the T-shirt Art Contest.
Competitors in the birding event can pick up their submissions at the April 24 banquet at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center, where select artwork will be displayed and winners announced.
Artwork from children and teens who do not take part in the Youth Birding Competition can either be picked up at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center in Mansfield during normal business hours or returned by mail – but only if a large, self-addressed envelope with four first-class stamps is included with the submission.
The 2010 Youth Birding Competition starts at 5 p.m. Friday, April 23, and ends at 5 p.m. Saturday, April 24. Groups may use as much or as little of that time to count as many birds as possible throughout Georgia. Although teams may start birding anywhere in the state, they must turn in their checklists at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center by 5 p.m. Saturday. While judges examine and score checklists, participants will enjoy a live animal show followed by an awards banquet packed with prizes.
For more information on the T-shirt Art Contest, visit www.georgiawildlife.com and search for "2010 YBC Competition." You can also contact the art contest coordinator Linda May at (770) 918-6792 or email@example.com.

Hi all, I am wondering if I did this wrongly, so I am hoping to get some answer my doubt.

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.

Police have made no arrests in connection to Friday's armed robbery of a downtown Leavenworth business. But a more detailed description of the robber has been released.
The robber is said to be a tall, light-skinned black man with a thin build. He had long, straight black hair. He's described as being in his late teens or early 20s.
His clothing included a denim jacket and black baseball cap with the word "Sonic" on it, according to Maj. Dan Nicodemus, deputy chief of the Leavenworth Police Department.
The robber reportedly approached a 55-year-old woman as she arrived Friday morning to open JoJo Dee's Pets, 301 Cherokee St. The man was armed with a handgun. He entered the business with the woman and took money from the cash register, according to Leavenworth Police Chief Pat Kitchens.
The woman reportedly suffered minor injuries during the robbery. The suspect left the store on foot.
Nicodemus said police do not have any images of the suspect captured by surveillance cameras. He said police continue to work on the case.
Anyone with information about the robbery or suspect is asked to contact the Leavenworth Police Department's Detective Division. The non-emergency number for the Police Department is 651-2260. People also can call the Police Department's Clue Line at 682-CLUE, or 682-2583, to anonymously provide information.

I am looking for something like sudo (or something that can be run from sudo) that allows me to run a program with my uid and primary gid, but with an additional supplementary group.
Warning #1: this is an alternative 'hacky' approach.
Warning #2: not all applications/script might be able to handle this ambiguous uid/gid.
Create a new user with the same uid and gid, by using
You should then run the program as this new user. I suggest to debug it using
It is not clear if you want that the additional group become as if it would be the primary group, i.e., the group of all new files created; or if this group is not even a seconday group of that user.
In first case, if you are already a member of that group, you may use two different commands "newgrp" and "sg". Both accomplish the same result, but one execute an interactive shell with the new gid, while the second one only execute a command.
In the second case, you should setup a password for the group using command groupadd or groupmod, then, again, when using "newgrp" or "sg" you will be prompted for that password before executing the command.
Another different, and simpler, approach, is to change the group owner of your executable, ad set its setgid bit. More information about this bit is on the man page for chmod.

More than 600 people descended on Roone Arledge Auditorium recently for the 17th annual "Bid for Justice" auction. The event's record turnout allowed the Public Interest Law Foundation to raise a net total of $50,000. Those funds will support the Community Grants Program and the Law School's guaranteed summer funding initiative, which provides financial support for students working at public interest organizations during the summer after their first year.
Among the unique prizes up for auction were two martini clinics with Professor Philip Bobbitt and a weekend getaway at the Nantucket home of Professors Robert and Elizabeth Scott, which went for $1,775—the highest bid of the evening.

ROGERS (January 31, 2013)—An early Thursday morning fire in a building at a turkey farm near Rogers left a large building destroyed but no one, nor any animals, were hurt in the blaze.
Firefighters were sent at about 3:30 a.m. to 14480 Knob Hill Road after someone reported a fire in a large metal building that had been used to raise turkeys.
The building was empty at the time of the blaze, according to Karen Hoelker, an officer with the Little River – Academy Fire Department.
The fire burned so intensely that most of the building's roof had collapsed and the heat from the blaze forced firefighters to pour water on some nearby propane storage tanks to keep them from exploding.
Firefighters had the blaze under control by about 5 a.m. but several units remained at the scene dousing hot spots.
Hoelker said investigators would be gathering evidence later in the morning Thursday to try to determine just where and how the fire started.

Former WBKO anchor and reporter is sentenced to spend time in a federal prison.
In May, Jim Burress was convicted for helping to hide nearly $80,000 that his roommate, Travis Boothby, had stolen from a bank in Paducah. Boothby had taken the money from a money machine at the Farmer's Union Bank.
It was later found in a Bowling Green house owned by Burress and Boothby. Boothby pleaded guilty to the charges against him, but Burress maintained his innocence throughout the trial.
Testimony in the trial indicated that when FBI Special Agent Dick Glenn showed up at the home looking for the missing money Burress claimed he didn't know anything about it.
When the money was found, he then admitted to having known where it was. Burress and Boothby both have now been sentenced to spend one year and one day in prison.
They will turn themselves over to authorities in October and begin serving their time.

On Wednesday, Jan. 23, Cortez Vinson, the 2013 "Horsing Around with Art" grand prize winner, was surprised at Breckinridge-Franklin Elementary School during a special fifth grade assembly. The Kentucky Derby Museum's executive director, Lynn Ashton, along with the school principal and members of the fifth-grade student's family, presented Vinson with a dozen roses and the news that he will receive six box seats to this year's 139th running of the Kentucky Derby.
The contest's grand prize is given to the artist whose work is judged to best "capture the spirit" of the Kentucky Derby. The grand prize winner was selected this year by Churchill Downs President, Kevin Flanery. The box seats are sponsored by Churchill Downs, Inc.
Vinson will receive $500 for the art department at Breckinridge-Franklin for his award. He will also be given tickets to attend the Winner's Party at the Derby Museum following this year's historic race.
School principal Allyson Vitato says, "Cortez is a very giving student. He cares about art and shows great leadership with his fellow students. He has worked very hard to prepare his artwork and was just excited to participate in this contest. To have his talents recognized as the grand prize winner is such an honor for a very deserving student."
Nearly 50 local students will receive recognition for their artwork as part of this contest.
The first place winner in each division will receive $500 for his or her school's art department, for second place the school will receive $300 and for third place the school will receive $200. Winners of the 3D/Sculpture and The Outriders Society Awards will earn $100 for their schools, and for the grand prize, the Thoroughbred Award and the Backside Award, the schools will receive $500.
Each of the winners will also receive art supplies for their personal use.

Misconceptions about Chickens and Eggs
Bird flu is a risk to reckon with.
Some people want to keep chickens out of cities and suburban areas or are afraid to own chickens because they fear bird influenza. You're more likely to get human flu or West Nile virus than bird flu, or avian flu.
There have been outbreaks of bird flu among domestic poultry in the United States, but none so far have come from the dreaded H5N1 strain, the one responsible for disease and death in humans in Asia and some other countries. Most strains of bird flu do not infect humans.

About Carl Backman
Instructor of Sociology
Carl Backman is an Instructor. Most of his effort these days is focused on the introductory course (SOCY1000 Sociology: Global Perspective), a course he has been teaching for a quarter of a century and which he still finds fascinating and challenging. A transplanted Westerner, he is in his second stint at Auburn. His first stint was in 1984-5, following a year of teaching at Georgia Tech and followed by 15 years in the Department of Sociology at Buffalo State College in New York. Taking the advice he so often gives students to get some international experience, he retired from Buffalo State to teach English for a year at Shantou University in southeastern China. He next returned to Alabama to be near his wife's family (mother-in-law Ruth "Chip" Busch was an anthropologist in this very department). After substitute teaching at Opelika High School and teaching at Southern Union, he began teaching again at Auburn in 2003.
Dr. Backman has a strong interest in Applied Sociology. For four years in the late Carter and early Reagan administrations he worked in the Statistics and Survey Analysis section of the United States Senate Computer Center. His group consulted with member offices, subcommittees, full committees, and a joint committee on a wide range of issues, including day care (hot new stuff in the late 1970s!), Carter's Panama Canal treaty, ownership and control of major US corporations, city finances, and the deregulation of the trucking industry, among others. His applied work has led to a great deal of interdisciplinary collaboration, including work with economists, psychologists, criminologists, lawyers, and police chiefs. Dr. Backman's applied interests are reflected in two other courses he routinely teaches, SOCY2000 Social Problems and SOCY2100 Population and Society.
Representative Publications
Backman has published in Sociological Spectrum, Teaching Sociology, The American Sociologist, Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, and The American Economic Review. He also contributed to several Senate publications.

Golden Bears, Chiefs to battle for BL title
One game, winner take all. The Berkshire League girls championships will be decided in Thomaston when the Golden Bears take on Nonnewaug. The game was originally scheduled for tonight, but was postponed due to the snow storm. It will most likely be played Tuesday.
Thomaston brings a 14-2 BL mark into the contest (16-2 overall) while the Chiefs are 15-2 in the BL (16-3) overall. Actually, there is a scenario that could develop resulting in tri-champions.
If Thomaston wins and then loses its final game against Housatonic, Lewis Mills, Nonnewaug and the Bears will end up as tri-champions. If Nonnewaug wins, the Chiefs own the title all by themselves since they have no games left.
Thomaston rallied in the second half behind Maggie Eberhardt (22 points) to defeat the Chiefs the first time around, 46-41. But there is little to separate the two teams.
Nonnewaug coach Adam Brutting sees the boards and balance as two keys.
"Whoever rebounds the basketball is going to have an advantage," said Brutting. "And whichever team distributes the ball well is important. Both teams rely on big players so if we can distribute the basketball and get everybody involved it will make a difference."
Nonnewaug offers up senior guard Katie Burke who makes going to the basket her mission. Thomaston has arguably the league's top player in senior Maggie Eberhardt and junior Abby Hurlbert, two of the top scorers the league.
"We have to do the obvious and keep Miss Burke in check and somehow beat them off of the glass," said Thomaston coach Bob McMahon. "We have to do the job from A to Z.'
A little sidelight to the game is Brutting. He has won more games in the Thomaston gym than most of the Thomaston players.
As a Thomaston High graduate, Brutting was a key member of the Golden Bears 1990 and 1991 Class S state championship teams.
The two teams went 50-2 and were 26-0 in the 1990-91 season. He has not lost in the THS gym since he was a sophomore.
"It's a great feeling (coming home)," said Brutting who lives in Thomaston. "When the schedule first came out and I saw this was the last game of the season I smiled. I said to Bob how cool it was to have this game to mean something. I don't think it could be written any better."
The NVL girls tournament will begin Saturday at Holy Cross with games scheduled for noon, 1:45, 3:30 and 5:15 p.m. The semifinals will move to Kennedy Feb. 18 at 5 and 7 p.m. The championship game will be at Kennedy Feb. 20 at 7 p.m.
The top eight teams qualify for the tournament and at this point would include Watertown, Torrington, Ansonia, Holy Cross, Kennedy, St. Paul, Woodland and Crosby.
Several area teams are still harboring state tournament hopes. In the NVL, Sacred Heart (7-11) needs one win in its final two games to earn a spot in the postseason.
Meanwhile in the Berkshire League, Litchfield (7-10) needs one win its final three games while Wamogo (6-11) needs two wins in its final three games.
Former Wolcott coach Rick LeFerriere didn't stay idle long. After resigning as the Eagles coach a year ago LaFerriere received a call from Crosby Athletic Director Dave Ieronimo to ask if he would be interested coaching the Bulldogs' freshman team.
It has been good move for both. Laferriere coached three different sports over a 26-year span at Wolcott.
"It has been a lot fun," said LeFerriere. "This is a great bunch of kids."
Lewis Mills has been without the services of top notch senior guard Hope Shevchuck since the Thomaston game Feb. 1. Shevchuck injured her leg in the third quarter of the Spartans loss to the Bears and the extent of her injury isn't known at this point.
Mills Athletic Director Dave Tanner said they had hoped to hear something Friday but did not because of school cancellation.

Posta store to server
We can use json objects to send the data to the client side using post or get method. That works perfectly cool. My concern is pther way round.
Let say I have a data store and i want to send this data store to the server then what is the best approach to do that. Further do extjs provide any method for this.
demoStore = new Ext.data.Store({ id :'demoStore', data: [ ["A","216","java",], ["B","209","php",], ["C","10","dotnet"] ], reader: new Ext.data.ArrayReader({id:'id'}, [ 'name', 'id', language' ]) });
14 Feb 2011 1:01 PM #2
I probably wouldn't attempt to batch update all records in a database - I'd probably just use the "add" or "update" events on the Store() object, sending the data for each record that gets added/edited as separate AJAX requests.
15 Feb 2011 2:34 AM #3
Hi arthur,
In scenarios, yes you are right, but my requirement says that all of the data is to be updated as a whole or nothing is to be updated, and hence i am maintaning the data store on the client side. Now since i am successfull in maintaining the data store throughout the process i do not want to convert it to some other format set it to some hidden field(or any other variable) and then send it across to server. Rather i am looking for a mechanism in which i can send the complete data store as it is, and will parse it as we do with the json stores.
I hope you got my point.

I suppose you could have a "save" button in your toolbar with the following handler:
PHP Code:
var dataArray = [];
function getData(record) { dataArray.push(record.data); }
url: 'doSomething.php'
params: {
data: Ext.encode(dataArray)
success: function(response, options) {}
Alternatively, you could use the save() method on the data store - which saves all *pending* changes to the store. Latching onto the "save" event, you could launch an AJAX call to the server containing only the records that have changed. The handler would be similar to what I described above, but only looping over the records with pending changes (not necessarily ALL records in the store).

Interesting – are they seeing improved data from this upgrade or improving ways their customers using .NET 4 can gain greater insight into their own customer relationships?
Well their release based on WF4 has not shipped yet so it is too early to say. For them the requirement to support developers who are modifying the underlying workflows was important and so moving to WF4 made this easier.
Interesting video, CRM 5.0 and WK4 looks powerful.

Box Score | Game Notes
SAN ANTONIO (April 16, 2013) – Rampage goaltender Dov Grumet-Morris turned aside 48 shots, but the Western Conference-leading Texas Stars (43-20-5-6) tallied a late game-tying goal in the third period and went on to defeat San Antonio (29-36-2-7) in a shootout, 3-2, on Tuesday night at AT&T Center in front of 6,732 fans.
The Rampage were outshot, 51-15, in the game, but held a 2-1 lead before Travis Morin lit the lamp on the power play with 1:21 left in regulation. With the defeat, San Antonio finished the 12-game season series against Texas with a 2-9-0-1 record.
Rookie forward Jared Gomes scored his third goal in as many games and extened his career-high point scoring streak to four games (three goals, one assist). Gomes is second on the team in scoring with 31 points, behind only Jon Rheault (46 points), who also recorded an assist on Tuesday.
Jack Combs lit the lamp for the second-straight game and now has 10 goals and 15 assists in his first 16 games for the Rampage since being acquired from the Bridgeport Sound Tigers on March 15.
The Rampage opened the scoring for the first time in six games when Combs banged home a rebound off a shot from Rheault at 7:53. Scott Timmins also collected an assist on the play.
San Antonio was outshot, 15-9, in the opening frame, but held a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes, marking the first time in six games that the club held a lead at the end of the period.
Grumet-Morris turned aside another 15 shots in the middle frame, while the Rampage were only able to muster two shots on goal – tying a season low. The Rampage netminder made an impressive post-to-post save with seven minutes left and denied Brett Sonne when he stormed through the slot just over a minute later.
Despite being outshot, 30-11, through 40 minutes of play, San Antonio held a 1-0 lead heading into the second intermission.
However, the lead didn't last long in the third period. Only 32 seconds into the frame, Sonne corralled the puck at the bottom of the right circle and fired a quick shot past Grumet-Morris to tie the game at 1-1.
The Rampage reclaimed the lead at 5:38 of the middle frame. Jed Ortmeyer won a battle along the boards before finding John Lee at the point. Lee fired a wrist shot that Gomes deflected past Texas Stars goaltender Cristopher Nilstorp and into the back of the net to give San Antonio the 2-1 lead.
Grumet-Morris had another strong period, but was unable to stop a shot by Morin with 1:21 left in regulation while on the power play.
Neither team was able to light the lamp in the in overtime and the game went to a shootout. Defenseman Alex Petrovic tallied the lone goal for the Rampage in the shootout, while Texas cashed in twice in the shootout to claim the victory.
Texas went 1-for-2 on the power play to wrap up the season series going 12-for-49 with the man advantage. For the first time this year, the Rampage did not have a power play opportunity, finishing 4-for-40 on the power play in 12 games against Texas.
The Rampage will wrap up the 2012-13 season with a pair of games starting on Friday at 7:30 p.m. against the Rockford IceHogs on a KZEP Dollar Drink Night. The Silver and Black will host their annual Fan Appreciation Night Saturday night in their season finale at 7:00 p.m. against the Houston Aeros. The Rampage will give away more than $60,000 in prizes to fans in attendance on Saturday night.
Tickets for all remaining Rampage home games start at $10 and can be purchased at the AT&T Center Southeast Box Office, by calling a Rampage representative at 210-444-5554 or online at sarampage.com.

I'm using SSIS to dump data from my SQL Server 2008 prod database to flat files and then using bulk insert to load those flat files into the SQL Server 2008 dev database. The SSIS package is running a TRUNCATE TABLE statement before the bulk insert, but when I run it I still get this error: "The statement has been terminated. Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint. Cannot insert duplicate key." Why would there be a duplicate key after a truncate? Is there something more I need to do to clear the primary keys before the bulk insert?

If you've truncated the table, then a primary key violation must be coming from duplicate data in the file. Try bulk inserting into a new table, without the PK constraint, and then check the table for duplicates (probably easier than writing some tool or script to parse the file directly). You can create a mimic table that won't have constraints this way:
Then change your package to reference this table, do the insert, then run:
I bet a donut the call is coming from inside the house (or the truncate is not succeeding).

Just a reminder - the 33rd-annual Ray Laman Children's Christmas Party will be held at the Wintersville Fire and Rescue garage from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Dec. 15. Children must be accompanied by an adult. They will be entertained with a sing-a-long with Kenny Wells, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, elves and Mrs. Claus before the arrival of Santa. After the party, Santa and his helpers will visit the pediatrics ward at Trinity Medical Center West for the sick children who are unable to attend the party.
This is the largest event of its kind in the area, hosting more than 350 children annually. We are a nonprofit organization funded solely through donations of area merchants and caring citizens. As the attendance grows each year, our donations remain about the same. This is a community event for all children under the age of 10, and they come from all over, not just Wintersville. Without more donations, this is getting harder to do. We urge everyone reading this to open their hearts and wallets for the area children. Without your generosity, this event cannot be made possible. We don't want to cut back on the size, quantity or quality of the gifts. As the annual cost keeps rising, we need donations.
Donations and comments can be sent to the Ray Laman Children's Fund, 60 Pioneer Drive, Wintersville, Ohio 43853; by calling me at (740) 264-2161; or by contacting the Wintersville Police Department at 200 Grove St.
Donations must be received by Dec. 12 to make the program. May this year's event make the holidays happier for a lot of area children.

The 3rd Annual West Coast Primer NationalsWritten by on December 7, 2005 Ventura, California
When the West Coast Primer Nationals was dreamed up a couple of years ago, the organizers had no clue whether or not it would be a success, but nearly 300 pre-'65 hot rods, customs, trucks, low riders, and custom American and British bikes rolled into SeaSide Park in Ventura, California, for the first "kustom kulture festival and swap meet." The following year, just under 500 participants showed up. This past October, the Saturday event turned three, and hosted more than 600 cars and bikes from all over the state, as well as more that 150 vendors, a swap meet, automotive artists, and a whole day's worth of live bands.
In addition to Saturday action, West Coast Primer Nats activities included Friday night and Saturday live music at the Ventura Bowling Alley, and a Sunday morning run to nearby Lake Casitas.
The 4th Annual West Coast Primer Nats is coming sooner than you think. The date has been moved forward from October to Labor Day weekend, to avoid any chance of lousy weather. We'll see you there.

The paint on Richie Valles' seldom-seen '50 Chevy is dressed up with some sweet pinstriped flames and low-key airbrushed skulls. The slammed custom rides on a TCI chassis with a 350 small-block under the hood and 700R4 automatic. The upholstery is grey tuck 'n' roll.Mark Codd worked from a bunch of 50-year-old photos to build this '31 five-window just like the hot rod his dad drove in the '50s. The patina'd coupe body sits on an International truck frame, with a suicide front end and a drilled Lincoln front axle. Six 97s feed the early Hemi. The distinctive headlights are old Pep Boys lights. On the inside, he added a boat wheel, '31 Cadillac dash with Stewart-Warner gauges, and steel bomber seats.After Victor Wilson passed away unexpectedly last summer, his brother Donn and other members of the Calaveras Rods & Kustoms decided to keep building his small-block-powered '27 roadster. The Duval windshield, paint, and pipes are recent additions. Harley tires roll on 16-inch rims in front with BFG-tired 15s in back. A tunnel ram and four Webers are coming.Orange suede looks great on Ralph Gonzales' '51 Ford F-1, especially with the just-finished white vinyl interior with orange piping......The pickup has a Mustang II front end and 4-link set-up underneath, and runs a 283 engine. Ralph's father bought the truck in 1970, and gave it to Ralph in 1972, the year he was born.Bare metal is not the typical finish of choice, with is why Lalo Hernandez' '40 Lincoln Zephyr caught our attention. It was "blue, high, and ugly," before Lalo sent the car to Randy Haught at Imperial Hot Rods in Riverside. The TCI chassis features a Mustang II front end and bags.A '40 Ford hood was used to create the boattail back end of Tom Raftican's roadster. The cowl is from a '29 and the rest of the body is hand-fabricated conduit. The rearend hangs on reversed quarter-elliptic springs. The taillights are '46 Chevy pickup turn indicators. The mill is a 365ci Cadillac. Door panels are faux fur.
This far-departure from a '31 sedan, built by Junichi Shimodaira of Paradise Road in Nagoya, Japan, has been making the rounds. Hard to believe it's completely steel, including the front end, built from a '59 Cadillac bumper. It's a modified A frame underneath, and an Olds Rocket engine doing the work.Speaking of making the rounds, the Early Riders channeled and chopped T dragster, shows up at runs and races all over the place. We've seen it go a few rounds on the dragstrip as well.The canary yellow and white interior of Eunice Rojas' '55 Fairlane shows what the the exterior looked like before the butterscotch and green metalflake color combination it wears now. Eunice has owned the Ford, with a 312 mill, for four years.The '59 Impalas came with a ton of style right out of the box, but George Cuellar added a little '70s custom flavor to his small-block-powered blue and silver number, with the addition of a Continental kit, 14-inch wire wheels, and some nice metalflake paint on top.A little rain the night before was affecting the finish on Romero Marshall's '54 Ford Kustomline. Romero fixed the problem with a little ScotchBrite.Another chopped and channeled tri-power '30 five-window for your enjoyment. This one belongs to Steve Caballero.

I have the following layer using SRID 27700 in postgis:
It's every administrative region in the UK, and (as you can see from the colour grouping) each of them has a text field specifying the county they lie in.
What I'd like to do is to make larger county polygons from the smaller ones in a given county, so EG in the picture above all the teal colour polygons would form one large polygon from the single outer ring that contains all the polys in that colour, like wise all purple, brown, pink, grey etc should all form one polygon.
I've already tried the following:
insert into parishesmerged (geometry)
select astext(multi(ST_Union(the_geom))) as the_geom from parishes
group by county_name
But it keeps generating broken geometries which I then have big problems processing further.
If anyone has any further Ideas it would be appreciated.
I'm essentially trying to make a simpler county level map with the major output areas in.
Any solutions don't have to be in Postgis either, I have the full OS4Geo stack installed, the latest version of QGis and more utils than I can shake a stick at.
The only things I don't have are the big boys like ArcGis (Although I may have an Old Mapinfo lying around somewhere)
------======== Update : 22/8/2012 ========------
Thanks everyone for all the answers so far, I'll go away and examine each one, see what happens then come back and document on my findings.
For the record, the dataset I'm trying to create is to accompany a GIS book I'm on writing aimed at .NET programmers wishing to write GIS applications using .NET
I know what I need to know about relatively straight forward stuff in Postgis such as Spatial Querying and Statistics gathering and if the publisher will allow me I do intend to mention gis.stackexchange and all those who frequent here :-)
I'll be back soon....
------======== Update : 25/8/2012 ========------
Well after wandering back off into cyber space and trying the suggestions below, the one that worked the best was 'Paul Ramseys' solution. Thanks Paul.
I now have a nice simplified counties & boroughs file that's just simple enough for my book, but complex enough to allow me to demonstrate some interesting geo-spatial SQL.
Even though Paul's solution ultimately was the one that worked for me, I also drew on the other answers for things like simplifying the polygon map and reducing the complexity further.
On thing I did observe while doing this however, while ST_Collect is indeed faster than ST_Union, run for run it was also the one mostly responsible for broken geometries. My guess is the speed increase is obtained at the expense of less accuracy in the core function.

Derivatives seem easy to understand abstractly as the rate of change of something, higher order derivatives are the rate of change of the rate of change of something, and so on.
I, however, have trouble understanding what an integral is in a general sense. It can be thought of as the sum of the infinitely small rectangles in an shape, but what is it, with respect to the initial function? I don't really understand why integration is the inverse operation of derivation. either.
