COLLEGE STATION, Sept. 19, 2012 – Texas A&M's opening football weekend in the Southeastern Conference generated more than $6.5 million in media exposure and significant social media buzz for the university, according to an analysis conducted by an independent media firm.
The Aggies' SEC opener against the Florida Gators on Sept. 8 brought ESPN's College GameDay to Texas A&M for the first time since 2006, which resulted in three consecutive hours of live programming from the heart of the campus prior to kickoff. ABC's Good Morning America also broadcasted live weather updates from Aggieland leading up to the game.
"Athletics provides a vehicle to introduce millions of people to Texas A&M, many of whom may not be familiar with this great university," said Texas A&M Athletic Director Eric Hyman, who commissioned a similar study during his tenure at the University of South Carolina that produced comparable results. "Our move to the SEC has already put Texas A&M on the national stage, and this is only the beginning."
In addition to ESPN's College GameDay, ESPNU aired live segments from Texas A&M's Midnight Yell Practice on Sept. 8, which was attended by more than 40,000 fans. ESPNU's RoadTrip aired a 30-minute episode from Aggieland on Sept. 11, while ESPN's college-focused channel also spotlighted Texas A&M's many unique traditions during its UNITE show on Sept. 6.
Several national commercials also contributed to Texas A&M's media exposure, including a Midnight Yell spot promoting ESPN's College GameDay that was filmed at Texas A&M, Texas A&M's institutional commercial that aired during the Florida game and AT&T's Way2Saturday campaign stop in Aggieland for Week 2. Not included in the media exposure analysis was the football game itself or ESPN's media inventory promoting the actual game.
The broadcast coverage built on significant social media activity leading up to and during the Aggies' football game vs. Florida. Texas A&M trended nationally on Twitter from 7:30 a.m. until the conclusion of the game on Sept. 8, with the official university Twitter feed @TAMU picking up more than 1,200 new followers during ESPN's College GameDay broadcast alone. The university's game-related content on Facebook generated engagement with more than 112,000 users on Sept. 8, including more than 19,000 likes and 1,000 shares of a photo of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band's salute to the SEC during halftime.
"As the most widely broadcast conference, the SEC provides a significant media platform for us to increase the visibility of the Texas A&M brand across the country. Our first football weekend was the culmination of a comprehensive, year-long campaign as part of the SEC transition, and it truly exceeded our expectations from both a broadcast and social media standpoint," said Jason Cook, Texas A&M's vice president for marketing and communications.
ESPN's national 2:30 p.m. CT telecast of the Texas A&M-Florida game was seen by 4.5 million television viewers and 3.3 million households across the country. It was the most-watched college football game on Sept. 8.
NEXTMedia of Dallas conducted the broadcast media evaluation. Cook indicated that additional media analysis will be conducted in the future, given that ESPN's College GameDay commercial featuring Texas A&M's Midnight Yell Practice will continue to air throughout the college football season.

Unanswered: Style detailCard
Hi all,
this is a very newbie question but I read the docs and was unable to solve it.
So, I'm referring to the example app (I'm studying it in depth in order to understand some concepts), in particular to the rss feed reader part.
Everything works but I have a question.
How can I style the content displayed by detailCard?
In the example, the detailCard display the field 'content' from the store as html, but how to intervene in the outputted Html? I think I could put a Cls in detailCard but how if I have different elements in my 'content'?
For example, my content has ,
,
 and so on. Can I style them? for example, floating images to the right, reduce h2 and h3 fonts and so on...
Thank you in advance for your help
15 Aug 2012 10:27 AM #2
I'm still stuck here, anyone who knows how to solve this? Or a possible solution, also a hint
Thank you in advance!
15 Aug 2012 12:14 PM #3
Normal HTML tags
Is the detail card displayed as an itemTpl? What I do is create a normal css class which I insert in my index html with:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css" />
For example, I create a css file with something like this:
.headertext { font-family: "Arial Black", Gadget, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; }Code:

{title}

17 Aug 2012 4:45 AM #4
It's better that I report my entire app, that is here, you can also run it:
So, my problem actually is that I want render the img from the feed styling them (for example, make them float:right). Actually, if you see the code, I've added in "detailCard", "style" with text-align:right, for testing. The result is that each entry has the text aligned right. The question is how to render each element of the entry singularly: the
 in a way, the
 in another way, the  in another way and so on. Maybe I could add a class to the detailCard with 'cls'.
digeridoopoo, your approach seems interesting but I didn't understand it well.
Let me know if, with this info provided above, the problem is clearer.
Thank you for your attention!
17 Aug 2012 6:46 AM #5
I took a look at your code, it looks like you have these fields on your store:
'title', 'link', 'author', 'contentSnippet', 'content',
It looks like in your JSON response there is only one item for content, containing the whole post. Is there another way you can grab the data? What I have done in the past, for example grabbing data from facebook is I have a model for each item in my post, e.g. Title, Image, Bodytext etc. Then in my itemtpl template I have these as separate items {title} {image} {bodytext} and I can apply normal css to them.
See if you can get the response in another way. If there is no way to get the separate items you might have to look at other ways you can split up the data.

CNN-Powerful storm Carlotta has intensified into a hurricane off the western coast of Mexico.
The storm was about 120 miles (195 kilometers) south-southeast of Puerto Angel, Mexico, and 330 miles (530 kilometers) southeast of the resort town of Acapulco early Friday, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center.
The storm, with sustained winds near 80 mph (130 kph), was moving toward the northwest at 12 mph, the center said. That motion is expected to continue until Saturday morning, when the center said it expects it to slow and turn toward the west-northwest.
The storm is expected to strengthen rapidly, possibly becoming a Category 2 hurricane before the eye reaches the coast, the center said.
A storm becomes a hurricane when its sustained winds reach 74 mph. A storm is classified as Category 2 when the winds reach 96 mph.
A hurricane warning is in effect for parts of the Pacific coast of Mexico, from the seaport city of Salina Cruz to Acapulco. A warning means hurricane conditions are expected.
A hurricane watch -- which means hurricane conditions are possible -- has been issued for coastal areas east of Salina Cruz to Barra de Tonala and west of Acapulco to Tecpan de Galeana.
The center said a "dangerous storm surge is expected to produce significant coastal flooding" north and east of the storm's center. Near the coast the surge will likely cause destructive waves, the National Hurricane Center said.
Rainfall could cause "life-threatening" flash floods and mudslides, the center said, with isolated areas along the Oaxaca coast likely to get 12 to 15 inches of rain.

I have Ubuntu 12.04 as my main OS, but have been thinking of doing some dualbooting, would making a partition specifically for Windows and installing it to that partition mess with GRUB? or Would it be fine?

The easiest way to use Boot-Repair is to burn one of the following CDs and boot on it.

You can run this from terminal

Windows would mess up GRUB, after you install Windows just use a live CD and follow these instructions.

The FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program defines aggravated assault as an unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury. The Program further specifies that this type of assault is usually accompanied by the use of a weapon or by other means likely to produce death or great bodily harm. Attempted aggravated assault that involves the display of—or threat to use—a gun, knife, or other weapon is included in this crime category because serious personal injury would likely result if the assault were completed. When aggravated assault and larceny-theft occur together, the offense falls under the category of robbery.
Expanded offense data are the details of the various offenses that the Program collects beyond the count of how many crimes law enforcement agencies report. These details may include the type of weapons used in a crime, type or value of items stolen, and so forth. In addition, expanded data include trends (for example, 2-year comparisons) and rates per 100,000 inhabitants.
Expanded information regarding aggravated assault is available in the
following tables:
Trends (2-year): Tables 12, 13, 14, and 15
Rates (per 100,000 inhabitants): Tables 16, 17, 18, and 19
Weapons: Tables 15, 19, and 22

Richards, the outspoken, progressive governor of Texas from 1991 to 1995, "has captured my attention," said Taylor, whose solo show, Money, Marbles and Chalk, premieres at The Grand 1894 Opera House in Galveston, Texas on May 14.
"To become governor of Texas—which was the ninth largest economy in the world, and it's a macho state, and it's a Republican state ... [Richards] had to affect a stance of strength even more than what was her own," Taylor said. "She had to be unshakable."
Taylor, who is known for playing no-nonsense women such as Richards, was dubbed the "Grande Dame" of television by The New York Times (read more). For her role as Evelyn Harper, the overbearing matriarch on the hit CBS comedy Two and a Half Men, she was nominated for three Emmy Awards for best supporting actress—an honor she won in 1999 for her work on ABC's The Practice.

Emergency communications to become more secure in Ventura
By Justin Formanek 01/10/2013
The Ventura City Council approved on Dec. 7 a recommendation to accept grant funds from the Department of Homeland Security for a microwave communications project that will upgrade the radio infrastructure within the city.
Currently, radio communications within Ventura depend heavily on antiquated phone lines to carry most of the transmissions between the police department, public works, water and wastewater departments. Any radio transmissions from dispatchers must currently travel through phone lines to a transmission tower atop Hall Mountain and Wills Peak in Ventura. From there, signals are relayed to employees' radios in the field. Conversely, inbound communications must travel the same route in reverse.
While the existing system is adequate for day-to-day use, it is incredibly vulnerable. In the event of a natural disaster, such as an earthquake or wildfire, the phone lines on which the system relies could be compromised or even destroyed. This would force the entire city to communicate via various short-range antennae. The resulting coverage would not be citywide and would severely hamper communications during field operations and rescues.
"Law enforcement and fire — what we call first responders — are absolutely and totally dependent on their communications system," said Dan Richards, deputy chief information officer for Ventura County.
The necessity of communication, particularly during an emergency or a disaster, is why a microwave system is preferable. It will continue to work, even in the event of a tower being compromised, unlike a cellular system, which can easily be overwhelmed or inoperable under similar strain.
"It is very compartmentalized," said Richards. "Even losing components of radio, we can still continue to function. That kind of redundancy and resilience is what you find in most public-safety wireless networks, because it works."
The savings inherent in a switch to microwave communication is also attractive. After a one-time cost for purchase and installation, Ventura will save approximately $5,800 annually by eliminating phone lines. Yearly maintenance costs are also expected to decline.
In addition, Redondo Beach-based Advanced Electronics Inc., which will install and service the new equipment, currently provides support for the Ventura Police Department's Motorola radio system. Its familiarity with the existing infrastructure is expected to expedite the upgrade, and all new equipment will be covered under an existing maintenance agreement.
But is microwave communication safe? Simply put: yes.
The word "microwave" is a bit ambiguous, referring to any electromagnetic wave with a frequency between 100 megahertz and 30 gigahertz. Microwave radio transmitters operate on different frequencies and at different power levels from the kitchen appliances that can bake a potato in less than five minutes. Wireless LANs (local area networks), cell phones, satellites and radar systems all operate within the same spectrum as the radio transmitters.
"It's very safe, very directional, very controlled and does not pose any risk to anyone," said Richards. "Otherwise, quite frankly, we wouldn't be using it."
The total bill for the Microwave Communications Project is $123,000, with $53,000 pooled from various sources, such as wastewater and water operating funds, the public works facilities replacement fund, and the public works and police department patrol general funds. The remaining $70,000 comes from an Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant supplied by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The UASI program supplies funding to select high-threat, high-density urban areas in order to implement and sustain both preventative and responsive capabilities with regard to threats or acts of terrorism.
In 2008, DHS officially designated the Oxnard-Thousand Oaks area UASI. While the core cities were listed as Oxnard, Thousand Oaks, Ventura and Camarillo, the geographic area covered included Ventura County as a whole. In 2009 and 2010 combined, the local USAI received a little more than $4 million in funding.
"We got a phone call saying that risk analysis showed that the Oxnard-Thousand Oaks urban area qualified as an area to be funded," said local UASI Program Administrator Susan Duenas. "Out of the 100 most populated areas, our risk was high enough to meet the threshold for funding."
This was when Ventura County was among 64 urban areas identified by the UASI. Today, only 31 areas are eligible for funding, with Ventura no longer among them. The Microwave communications project is funded by the 2010 grant and, if completed, will join an expansive list of emergency preparedness initiatives that have already been implemented.
"All the funding has been used very wisely in the whole region," said Duenas. "We are definitely more prepared than we were 10 years ago."
While the City Council has accepted the USAI funding, a timeline for completion of the microwave communications project has yet to be established.

@ch1d3ster: Thanks, somehow when I was going through them all this morning I missed that gem. I posted it here: http://deals.woot.com/deals/details/a9871848-e5c8-40c8-b5c0-5be732b02b2b/civilization-iv-and-v-pack-download#0 with mention and thanks to you.
Civ. V will be $7.49 on Steam in ~25 minutes (10:00am CT) due to users voting for the 75% off. But the deal will only last an hour, I think.
@seanegay: No, it will last 12 hours. That's how long all the voted flash sale games have been up for.
Civilization 4 is still one of my favorite games. I bought Civilization 5 but I don't like it nearly as much.
@afrovballpride: Even better! Thanks :D
Too bad the price is only good if you have a PC - Mac users are out of luck.

6 Mind-Blowing Animal Infestations Straight Out of the Bible
#3. Angry Wild Turkeys
As children, our parents warned us of the dangers of abandoning our pets when we are sick of them. For some reason the story always focused on alligators flushed down the toilet and thriving in the sewers. That lesson was flawed, because the only thing we learned from the story was that people are allowed to own alligators, which are way cooler than whatever shitty pet we were trying to get rid of. If parents really wanted to get the lesson to sink in, they would have told us about an ugly, mundane pet being abandoned and then quickly overpopulating entire towns; they should have told us about the wild turkeys of Staten Island, New York.
It's like a gang of ugly monks.
Over a decade ago, some miserable person decided on turkeys as pets, and then naturally realized that was a terrible idea and set them all free. While she likely assumed that the nine turkeys she released would all die, they started multiplying instead, and now the town of Ocean Breeze is overrun by the only bird with a testicle sack for a neck.
More troubling, the turkeys are getting smarter and more aggressive. They attack cars and children, and they know which houses to go to for the best chance of food.
"Don't worry, dude, I totally saw the nut roast leftovers. We got ourselves some wusses."
The problem has gotten so out of control that residents are now afraid to leave their houses. And since turkey hunting is against the law in Staten Island, people aren't really sure what to do, especially considering that the turkeys are basically daring people to kill them.
The Department of Environmental Conservation has left it to the city to decide how to deal with the birds, but in the meantime, the only weapons residents have at their disposal are hoses and their ability to shoo really loudly. Still, people are constantly attacked in Ocean Breeze, and running away from birds that naturally look like they have some sort of face disease is a special kind of humiliation.
"Yeah? Drive off, asshole. You got nothin'."
#2. An Emergency-Scale Caterpillar Explosion
Caterpillars, like zombies, are slow-moving hunks of flesh with a single-minded goal of consuming. Alone they are harmless, but when they number in the millions, they are terrifying and inescapable. The difference, however, is that zombies are fictional, while caterpillars are real enough to cause a national emergency for an entire country.
The African armyworm has devastated crops, poisoned water supplies and presumably forced survivors onto the roofs of malls with only one gun. Already considered one of the most destructive pests on Earth, now that their numbers are swelling at such an astronomical rate, it's caused Liberia to issue a state of emergency.
It's not like they have other, more pressing things to attend to.
The biggest problem is that the adult moths can lay around 1,000 eggs in one lifetime, and they can migrate hundreds of miles, essentially making the outbreak an airborne crisis. They are also good at avoiding pesticides by burrowing into the ground before pupating. As a result, there are tens of millions of them ravaging entire fields of crops, all moving together in unison to new food sources ... kind of like an army.
These are just the ground troops.
The infestation has spread to over a hundred villages and towns in Guinea, Sierra Leone and the Ivory Coast, infesting more than 50 villages in less than a week. With that kind of speed, they could devastate entire sections of a country in an alarmingly short amount of time. And the armyworms have already been spotted in the United States.
The wormocalypse, coming to an everywhere near you.
Researchers have been working on a biological pesticide with a natural virus in it that will hopefully only affect the armyworms. To be clear, that's an experimental virus released on a massive population. Does that sound familiar? It might be time for scientists to step out of the lab for a night and actually watch a zombie movie or two.
#1. Hordes of Giant African Snails
From a completely unscientific perspective, snails are just snot in a shell. They're slow, slimy and filled with diseases. You probably don't spend much time thinking about them until you hear that sickly crunch under your foot while walking down the sidewalk after a rainstorm. But that's because you haven't encountered the giant African land snail, which eats the walls off of houses.
On the other hand, they make great wallpaper paste.
The Department of Agriculture has declared Miami "ground zero" for a giant snail invasion that's causing problems for thousands of residents. An average snail is only a few centimeters long and goes unnoticed, but the giant snails in Florida can grow up to 18 centimeters long, and they eat just about everything. The snails' diet can include about 500 different types of plants, which is causing hell for agriculture in Miami. Aside from vegetation, the snails are also partial to stucco, so they are just as likely to destroy a garden as the exterior wall of your house.
And then shit all over it.
It's proving tough to get rid of the things, too: Each snail can lay up to 1,200 eggs a year. Florida's Department of Agriculture's solution to the problem? They're going door to door and picking up the snails in people's yards. That's it. They're just collecting them in plastic bags and putting them into a "deep freeze" because ... we have no idea why. Maybe in case we ever need to thaw them out in the future to stop Wesley Snipes in some Demolition Man scenario?
Salt those bad boys up and you could take the French junk food industry by storm.
Still, there's no way the Department of Agriculture can keep up with the breeding of the snails. So, to reiterate, we have an infestation that causes meningitis, and eats crops and houses. And it's spreading.
"Hey, I demand citizenship!"
Maybe we should just cover Florida in salt and call it a day.

WEIRTON - Brownfield redevelopment will continue to be a priority with the Brooke-Hancock Planning and Development Council in 2013.
At Monday's quarterly meeting, members talked about the progress that's been made in Chester, where the Business Development Corp. of the Northern Panhandle has spent the past year overseeing the remediation and demolition of the old Taylor, Smith & Taylor pottery, as well as brownfield efforts in other parts of the organization's two-county service area.
Brooke-Hancock Planning Executive Director John Brown said the BDC, "Will be able to sell at a significantly better price" with the site remediation done. That should impact job creation efforts as well, he said.
The council has identified 13 other sites - six of them petroleum-contaminated - with environmental concerns, some of which are already being addressed. They hope to address the others in upcoming funding rounds.
"We are the most active region in West Virginia by far," he said. "We may be one of the most active ones in Region 3 ... it opens up opportunities for a lot of economic development and job development."
Brown said the next round of funding will be very competitive, "but we're hoping to get money again in the next cycle."
Chairman Mark Henne, Wellsburg's city manager, said securing ongoing funding is "going to be critical," adding that redeveloping brownfield sites in the Northern Panhandle is critical to economic development efforts throughout the region.
"All of the incorporated areas (in Brooke and Hancock counties) have a problem with abandoned and dilapidated buildings," Brown added.
BDC Executive Director Pat Ford, meanwhile, pointed out they'd been able to parlay a $5,000 focus grant from the Northern West Virginia Brownfield Assistance Center into $1.1 million in public and private grant funding for the Taylor, Smith & Taylor project. Even more important, he said, were the relationships they've forged with the U.S. Economic Development Administration and state and federal environmental regulators.

I apologize for crossposting against the ESRI geoprocessing forum, but it seems like this one gets answers. I'd like to have a modified append tool (ArcToolbox) that takes multiple shapefiles with point attribute data, and copies the inputted shapefile's name(s) to a "filename" attribute column, and then appends it to a target dataset. That way I can track where the data came from. The only way I can think to do this is something along the lines of the following:
for each shp in featureclasses:
outFeatureClass = os.path.join("C:\GIS\Scripts\temp\temptrks", shp.strip(".shp"))
arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(shp, outFeatureClass)
arcpy.AddField_management(outFeatureClass, "filename", "TEXT", "","", "254")
arcpy.CalculateField_management(outFeatureClass, "filename", str(shp), "PYTHON")
Then perform the append for each file in the new workspace.
What I'd like to do is be able to have a user drag and drop multiple shapefiles from multiple directories into a Multiple Value input box (like that in the Append tool).
I have two questions:
- Is there an easier/better way to perform the task?
- If not, what should I set the parameter type to (Multiple Value is not a selection).

How do i change the names of the boot entries and the background of the boot menu?
Install Grub Customizer.
Run it.
This program allows you to edit just about every aspect of Grub.
To change the GRUB2 background image, you should first get the splash image package:
For 10.04, edit the 05_debian_theme file in /etc/grub.d:
Look for the lines that identify the WALLPAPER and COLORS:
For 10.10 and up, edit the grub file in /etc/default:
Look for the lines that identify the GRUB_BACKGROUND:
As for modifying the menu colors on 10.10 and up; from what I can tell (GRUB2 wiki) it seems to be the same as I have listed above (/etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme). You might have to experiment with it. If someone knows for sure, please add a comment.
There are 16 colors available: Black, Blue, Brown, Cyan, Dark-Gray, Green, Light-Cyan, Light-Blue, Light-Green, Light-Gray, Light-Magenta, Light-Red, Magenta, Red, White, and Yellow. Just be careful with the combinations, because it's really easy to make your GRUB menu difficult/impossible to read.
Once you're done, be sure to update grub:
Also, I should add that I gleaned most of this information out of the GRUB2 wiki. Check that out if you have any questions.
Grub customizer is a untested buggy and dangerous program. It simply duplicates entries and does not seem to work. Maintainers were wise enough to keep it out of the os, so beware. Just copy image to boot/grub and update-grub.
To put a picture to the GRUB background,
1- Make sure you know your screen resolution.
2- Edit your picture (GIMP is very good for this) to the same resolution as the screen.
3- With root privilege, copy the picture to /usr/share/images/desktop-base/ which, on my system, is empty.
4- In terminal, update grub by execution of a command "sudo update-grub".
The new background will show on next startup.
I'm new to linux but I used this site to change the background in grub. The website is really easy to understand and doesn't require you to install programs to edit grub. Its just step by step using the terminal
One thing I would say though is I struggled to get the background to change when I was saving the image as a .jpg. It was the right resolution and appeared to be in the right folder but it just didn't appear when I booted my laptop. In the end when I used the image editor I saved the file as a .pgn file and works.
Also the site fails to mention that you need to save your image in the Downloads folder once you rescale it.
Hope this helps.
For edit the name.... open terminal and execute this command
And edit the names there.... At my config, it starts at line 93 with:
Example of name change:
To change grub background, I don't know how exactly, but I now that is on this file too!

I might be insane, but a song played when I was listening to a neighborhood radio station. When I went to go look at my library later, the song showed up there. I don't own the song (or at least I didn't see it in my iTunes library under that name) and I don't think I've ever played it on my iPod or played it in iTunes or Windows Media Player from a friend's device. So I'm not sure why it would be there. Did I actually play it somewhere and have it scrobble or did listening to the song on the neighborhood radio add it to my library?
Listening to the song would have added it to your library. Think of your library as pretty much every song last.fm has counted as a "listen" or "scrobble".
How these scrobbles are counted depends on which client you use to listen to them with. For example, the last.fm desktop client has a setting that lets you decide how much of a song you need to listen to for it to count. I believe listening to a song on your iPod/iPhone will only count as a scrobble if the entire song was listened to (last time I checked this was because of restrictions in the iTunes API).
I just looked this up, too. I'm not concerned with owning or not owning a song. But songs are showing my in my library that I haven't' even listened to! My library should only consist of songs I put there!

There are a lot of databases on my client's sql server. In common, these databases is under development, so developers can design, refactor, do data modifications and so on. There are some databases that change rarely. My client has to keep all them safe (backup) and spend a little time to manage this environment (these is no db administrator position in the company). After long discussion client has decided to use every day full backup strategy, because of easiest of restoring its (developers saw so - no problem). OK.
So here is the summary of the situation:
- number of databases can vary every day.
- databases that were changed (it means data or/and structure have been changed) shall be backed up
- databases that were not changed shall NOT be backed up.
- solution shall not impact on database structure (it's not restricted requirement)
- this "backup engine" shall work automatically.
The main problem: how to detect that database has been changed. The first part of the problem (DDL changes) can be resolved by using DDL triggers. It's ok. But the data changes(DML changes) is a problem. It is impossible to apply DML triggers to all tables of all databases to track changes (performance, management of extended objects...). Backup engine has to track any change (at least one) to mark database as ready to backup. Change Data Capture is a solution but it seems to heavy from the first sight (it requires SQL Server Enterprise Edition as well). Other way to track database files changes(size or last change time), but it does not work correctly: database can changes its size after it exceed all reserved free space and sp_spaceused is not a solution. Tracing is a solution but it causes the performance issues and additional management action.
Are there any solution to calculate the actual database usage size without impact of other database management objects (like statistics..)? I agree that any table's data change to the same size value would not triggered table's size change (I think), but it's something than nothing. Really I am looking for direct or indirect solution for sql server 2008.
Thank you for any comments, solutions, thoughts.

Teens Smoking Fewer Cigarettes, More Marijuana
Dec. 14, 2011 -- Fewer teens than ever are smoking cigarettes, but marijuana use has steadily increased over the past five years, according to a new nationwide survey.
In addition, alcohol use by teens is at its lowest level in 15 years, according to the "Monitoring the Future" survey.
In its 37th year, the annual survey polled about 47,000 eighth, 10th, and 12th graders about their use of alcohol, as well as other drugs both legal and illegal. The survey, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, or NIDA, is conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan.
Daily marijuana use was the highest in 30 years, NIDA Director Nora Volkow, MD, noted at a news conference. More than 6% of high school seniors reported using it every day. In addition, Volkow said, the percentage of teens who think marijuana is risky continues to decline.
White House drug czar Gil Kerlikowske blamed the increase in marijuana use partly on the growing number of states that have legalized medical marijuana.
"We face a very difficult message as adults when we see marijuana being advertised as medicine when it has not gone through the FDA process," Kerlikowske said at the news conference.
K2 and Spice
A related "problematic" issue, Volkow said, "is the emergence of synthetic cannabinoids." The active ingredient in marijuana is one such type of compound.
Volkow said she was surprised at the "extremely high" percentage of 12th graders who reported using the synthetic drug -- best-known by the brand names K2 and Spice -- in the previous year. The survey shows that more than 11% of 12th graders said they had used it in the past year.
According to a prepared statement by Kerlikowske, "K2 and Spice are dangerous drugs that can cause serious harm."
Synthetic cannabinoids, sold in smoke shops and gas stations, circumvented the Drug Enforcement Administration because they weren't the exact same cannabinoid found in marijuana, Lloyd Johnston, PhD, who has served as principal investigator of the survey since its inception, said at the news conference.
In February, though, Johnston said, the compounds were added to the list of "controlled," or tightly regulated, substances. Because the 2011 survey was conducted at around the same time, Johnston said, it's too soon to tell whether tighter regulation of synthetic cannabinoids has led to a decline in use by teens.

PARIS, Pa. - Nearly 40 people turned out for an intimate talk and reading with local author Mary Jean Bonar of Wellsburg at the Paris Presbyterian Church's Gathering Place coffeehouse located at 127 Steubenville Pike.
The coffeehouse is part of the church's outreach ministries and is available to any individual or group.
Bonar discussed writing her first book, which she believes to be divinely inspired. In the midst of a prayer and meditation walk, she felt the Holy Spirit come over her and encourage her to write "Overflowing With Hope," which has strong spiritual and Christian themes.

Mary Jean Bonar of Wellsburg reads from her book 'Look to the Hills' during a talk and book signing at the Paris Presbyterian Church's Gathering Place coffeehouse May 1. -- Summer Wallace-Minger
Bonar published "Overflowing" in 2008 with Tate Publishing. In addition to writing the book, she also recorded the audio version following concerns about the quality of the publisher's hired reader.
"They said to me, kind of sarcastically, 'well, do you want to do it?'" she said. "And I said, 'yes, yes, I would.'"
Bonar spent several weeks recording the book at the Capitol Music Hall in Wheeling, W.Va. Few audio books remain, because Bonar dissolved her relationship with Tate Publishing.
When asked how long it took the write the book, Bonar said it had taken her approximately a year and a half, and she had struggled with writer's block at one point.
"I needed to be in the right frame of mind, the right place spiritually, to write this book," she said. "I thought I was, but I wasn't."
Her daughter loaned her the use of a secluded cabin, and, once she had settled in, she was able to write another 100 pages.
Once the book was finished, she began an extensive promotional campaign, but health issues made it difficult, and, once she had recovered, enough time had passed that there was little interest in "Overflowing" from bookstores.
Bonar was determined to see her story widely available, and she dissolved her relationship with Tate and partnered with Trafford Publishing. She divided "Overflowing" into two books, "Look to the Hills" and "Blessed Abundantly," after being advised trilogies sell well.
When looking for cover art for "Hills," she said she and the publisher, which is located in Indiana, went back and forth.
"They sent me a photo of this gentle little rise, with the silhouette of a tree on it," she said. "I said, 'that's not a hill,' so they sent me another photo - it looked like the Rocky Mountains!"
Bonar eventually took her own photo of the rolling hills near Avella and it was used for the cover. She had hoped to take a photo at Brown's Orchard in Hickory for the cover of "Blessed," but was unable to because of the publication schedule.
She is working to complete what she now calls the West Hope Trilogy after the fictional setting in small-town Pennsylvania. The third and final volume, "The Band Plays On," will be available later this year.
The trilogy centers around a group of older women attending a Sunday school together and seeking their God-given purpose in small-town West Hope, Pa. Their lives and relationships are changed by the arrival of Janine Stephens, who picks up and moves to West Hope to pursue her own calling through God.
Bonar said she hoped those who read the books, which revolve around women in their 80s and 90s, would remember to treat the older people in their own lives with love, patience and respect.
"They have enriched my life so much," she said of the older women in her own life.
Bonar's books are available at His Place Bookstore in Wellsburg, W.Va., and Words and Music Bookstore in Wheeling, W.Va., and through her website at www.maryjeanbonar.blogspot.com. Her future plans include writing a devotional.
She lives with her husband in Wellsburg, W.Va., and is the music director and hand bell choir director for the Grove Presbyterian Church in West Middletown. She also works as a piano teacher and choir director.
Bonar is available for talks and book signings for churches and organizations. To schedule a talk, contact Bonar at firstname.lastname@example.com or (304) 737-2144.
The coffeehouse is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. It is staffed by volunteer hosts. Future plans include community-inclusive Wii bowling tournaments and family movie nights.
For information, call the church at (724) 729-3450 or email email@example.com.

10 Ways to Give Thanks This Thanksgiving
2 of 11
Donate to a favorite charity, such as the Salvation Army or Goodwill.
Some items in your home may no longer be of use to you, but they could be extremely valuable to others. Gather up gently used toys, clothes, home furnishings, or other items in your home and deliver them to the Salvation Army, Goodwill, or another charitable organization. You could also give a monetary donation — even small amounts are welcomed. Include a little note on a piece of paper or on the check about why you've chosen the charity and why you support the cause.
Next: Visit a hospital.

Let $A$ be a commutative algebra (over the complex numbers, with a unit) and let $M$ be a finitely generated projective $A$-module, and let $m_1,\ldots,m_n$ be a set of generators of $M$. The Dual Basis Theorem states that there exists $m_1^\ast,\ldots,m_n^\ast\in M^\ast$ such that $x=\sum m_i^\ast(x)m_i$ for all $x\in M$. This implies that one can write the identity map on $M$ as the tensor $\mathbf{1}=\sum m_i^\ast\otimes m_i$ and one defines $\operatorname{tr}\mathbf{1}=\sum m_i^\ast(m_i)$. What are the properties of $\operatorname{tr}\mathbf{1}$? Is there any relation to, for instance, the rank of $M$? When is it proportional to the unit element in $A$?
More abstractly: Let $A$ be a commutative unital ring and let $M$ be a f.g. projective $A$-module. The rank $rk_P(M)$ of $M$ at a prime ideal may be defined as the vector space dimension of $K\otimes_A M$ where $K$ is the residue field. Because projective modules of local rings are free, this is a locally constant function of the prime (so a constant if $A$ is a domain). The trace of the identity of $M$ is the unique element of $A$ such that in every local ring $A_P$ it goes to $rk_P(M)1$.
For any homomorphism $\varphi : A \to \mathbb C$, $\varphi({\rm tr}({\bf 1}))$ will be the corresponding trace for the finite-dimensional vector space $M \otimes_A \mathbb C$, and hence be equal to the rank of $M$ at $\varphi$.
So, if $A$ is some algebra of continuous functions on a connected space, then the trace ${\rm tr}({\bf 1})$ is a constant function, equal to the rank of $M$. In general, ${\rm tr}({\bf 1})$ is integer-valued locally constant.
Let $A$ be the matrix with entries $m_i^*(m_j)$, and put $B(x)=xA+I-A$ and $f(x)=\det(B(x))$. We find that $A^2=A$, and $B(xy)=B(x)B(y)$, and $f(xy)=f(x)f(y)\in R[x,y]$. We also have $f(1)=1$. It follows that $f(x)=\sum_{i=0}^ne_ix^i$ for some elements $e_i\in R$ which are orthogonal idempotents, ie $e_ie_j=\delta_{ij}e_i$ and $\sum_ie_i=1$. If we put $R_i=R/(1-e_i)\simeq Re_i$ and $M=M/(1-e_i)M\simeq e_iM$ we see that $R=\prod_iR_i$ as rings and $M=\prod_iM_i$ as modules. Moreover, $M_i$ is locally free of rank $i$ over $R_i$.
We also have $\text{tr}(1)=\text{tr}(A)=f'(1)=\sum_iie_i$, so $\text{tr}(1)$ maps to $i$ in $R_i$. It is cleaner to work with the elements $e_i$ because they distinguish the different $R_i$ even in a finite characteristic situation, which is not true for $\text{tr}(1)$.

Separation: Beginning of the End, or a New Beginning?
A Separate Peace
As with the decision to divorce itself separation is often experienced differently by the individual who initiates the separation and the one "informed" that an impasse is at hand. Whether you are the dumper or dumpee, remember that your future will be impacted by your decisions during this critical time.
It only makes sense that the person who initiated the divorce comes to embrace the single life of separation sooner; that individual has been living with the decision for quite a while. Given this fact, the individual who has initiated the divorce should see the separation as a means of providing his or her partner with time. Even though you might be saying, "Okay, we're going to end the relationship. Let's get working on the terms of the separation. Let's see if we can mediate this," your partner is still reeling from the pain. At first, he or she will not be nearly as ready to negotiate the terms of the agreement —certainly not in any sense that could be favorable to you.
If you have been rejected by your spouse, on the other hand, use the separation period to help yourself heal. As you go through the stages of grief, you will come to see yourself as a solo act. You might need to utilize this time to brush up on job skills, gain self-confidence, or simply come to know yourself as an individual who stands alone. You'll know you have arrived when you too can say, "Okay, I can see our incompatibility. This needs to end. At this point, I would also choose to end this relationship and go on in a new direction."
Remember, the process is painful. If you're like most people, you won't pass quickly through the emotional gauntlet of separation. Typically, psychologists say, the first year following separation is most difficult. During this period, you're most prey to mood swings, sadness, feelings of loss, and anger. If you remain on this emotional roller coaster for more than a year, however, you are not progressing fast enough. It is time to seek counseling or some other form of psychological help.
Published research bears this timetable out. According to a study from psychologist Joan Kelly, Ph.D., of the Center for Marital Transition near San Francisco, couples in conflict report that conflict drastically reduces after 12 months. Other research indicates that conflict and anger tend to diffuse after a period of separation, and if couples have not continued to interact, at the end of two years, most of the conflict will be gone.

Shopping Info
|Kelty Acadia 6 Person Camping Tent - The Acadia 6 camping tent by Kelty is all about living comfortably at camp. The large dual-doors and 2 vestibules offer spacious convenience while the three-pole design will rival any tent at your campground, especially when it comes to set-up time.The Acadia 6 camping tent by Kelty is a snap to set up, very spacious and a great value.
Sizing for Kelty Acadia Camp Tent:
My wife and I are den leaders of our boys cub scout den. We take the boys out camping when ever we can. We have 2 acadia 6's and 2 acadia 2's. Two acadia 6's are more than adequate for 8-10 boys. They are not hard to set up and the boys usually set up all the tents themselves. The tents are well constructed and have withstood several years of cub scout wear and tear. (That's not fair the boys are good to their gear) But they have been torn and repaired and are still doing their job well. If you have a larger group or family I'd look at the Acadia 6 as they are durable, spacious and easy to erect.
