The present application is a continuation application of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/688,574, filed Oct. 17, 2003.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention generally relates to data mapping, and more specifically, the invention relates to mapping data from an input file to a database.
2. Background Art
Computer applications are being used more and more. Today, particularly with the widespread availability of the Internet, businesses are able to make an ever increasing number of applications available worldwide twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week for use by customers, employees and suppliers. This presents important opportunities and challenges for businesses.
One challenge is to design the applications so that they can be used by different users who may access or input data to the applications using different data formats or files. Another challenge is to design the applications so that, in case users change the data formats used to input data to the applications, or it otherwise becomes advantageous to change the way data is input to the applications, the applications can be readily modified to accommodate new or different data formats and files.
An object of this invention is to improve methods and systems for mapping data from a source to a database.
Another object of the invention is to provide an extensible framework having a group of components, which can be readily modified or replaced, for handling various functions as data is mapped from a source to a database.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a framework, comprised of a group of independently adjustable components, to process data from one source, validate the data, apply business rules on the data, load the data into a database, log the results of this whole procedure, and send mailings to configured parties.
These and other objectives are attained with a method and framework for mapping data from a data source to a data destination. The method comprises the step of providing a plurality of components for performing defined functions to map the data from the source to the destination. These plurality of components perform the steps of (i) reading data from the source, (ii) processing the read data according to a set of rules, and (iii) loading the processed data into the destination. Preferably the plurality of components perform the further steps of (iv) verifying the integrity of the read data, and (v) logging results into a file. Each of the components operates independently of the other of the components.
The preferred embodiment of the invention, described in detail below, provides a framework written in the java programming language to read a file and to verify the file data by, for example, checking for counts and/or data consistencies. The framework then processes the data, which may involve applying various business logic classes as applicable, and then loads the data into a database. The framework also logs the results into a file, which can then be emailed.
Further benefits and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a consideration of the following detailed description, given with reference to the accompanying drawings, which specify and show preferred embodiments of the invention.
With reference to
Component 16 may utilize any suitable procedure and is provided with suitable means to read data from a file. For example component 16 may be designed to read flat, or xml, files. Also, any suitable procedure may be employed by component 20 to verify the integrity of the read data. Numerous such procedures are known in the art and can be used in the practice of this invention.
Component 22 may apply a wide range of business rules to the data read by framework. Preferably, these rules can be created, modified or deleted by an authorized administrator. In addition, any appropriate procedure may be used by component 24 for loading the data into a database. Many specific procedures are known by those of ordinary skill in the art and can be used in component 24.
It should be noted that while the specific framework 10 represented in
Preferably, each of the components 16, 20, 22, 24 and 26 operates independently of the other components of the framework 10. In this way, each component can be modified or replaced without affecting the operation of the other components. Also, preferably the individual programs of the components 16, 20, 22, 24 and 26 can be updated or modified by authorized administrators during the use of framework 10.
Framework 10 if this invention can be used in many specific situations. For example, the framework may be used in conjunction with, and be specifically designed to assist, some other application, which uses the data from database 14. In addition, framework 10 may be used on or with a computer network, such as a LAN, a WAN or the Internet.
More specifically, framework 10 maps fixed length fields in the input file to a java object type pofield. This framework reads the xml file. For a particular field, the framework determines the start position, the length, what database column the field maps to, which database tables the field maps to, whether the field can be updated or not, and what kind of formatter to be applied on this field. The framework calls the java class as defined within the <formatter> </formatter> tags. This java class implements the formatter interface, defined as: package com.ibm.kestrel bridges.
The interface of
Another file may be used to define an event handler. The event handler preferably implements the Implementer interface: —package com.ibm.kestral bridges.
The Implementer Interface of
The framework 10 also preferably manages transactions. A transaction is started when the first record is read, and the transaction is committed or rolled back when the record, as defined in a record parameter, is encountered. This helps to insulate programs with which framework 10 is used from managing a transaction.
Preferably, framework 10 includes a Logger feature that can be used by implementing the Logger interface: —package com.ibm.kestrel bridges.
Using this logger feature, an application can add various notifications, and then finally send an e-mail to a configured list of email ids. The Logger feature of
While it is apparent that the invention herein disclosed is well calculated to fulfill the objects stated above, it will be appreciated that numerous modifications and embodiments may be devised by those skilled in the art and it is intended that the appended claims cover all such modifications and embodiments as fall within the true spirit and scope of the present invention.

Medicare Changes To Take Effect with the New Year
With the beginning of each new year comes new changes to health insurance plans, including Medicare. Most of the changes this year comes from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed into law on March 23, 2010. It is important for seniors to understand these changes so they continue to receive the best possible health care from their providers.
Medicare Premiums
For most seniors, there will be minimal changes to Medicare premiums. Because there is no cost of living increase (COLA) issued by the Social Security Administration, Medicare Part B premiums are prohibited from increasing also. The 2011 monthly premium will remain $96.40 for most existing beneficiaries or $110.50 if you are a new enrollee to the plan in 2010. For those enrolling in 2011, the premium will cost $115.40 per month.
Those who have higher incomes, however, will pay higher premiums. The premiums, based on the 2009 IRS tax return, are as follows:
• Individuals with incomes of $85,000 to $107,000, or married couples filing joint tax returns with incomes of $170,000 to $214,000, will pay $161.50 per month.
• Individuals earning $107,000 to $160,000, couples $214,000 to $320,000, will pay $230.70 monthly.
• Individuals with incomes of $160,000 to $214,000, couples $320,000 to $428,000, will pay $299.90 each month.
• Individuals over $214,000, or couples above $428,000, will pay $369.10 per month.
Medicare beneficiaries with higher incomes will also have a surcharge on Part D premiums. Those with individual incomes of $85,000 or more (or over $170,000 for joint filers) will pay an additional $12 to $69.50 per month, depending on their income, for the prescription drug plan.
Medicare Deductibles and Co-Pays
All Medicare Part B beneficiaries will see a rise in their deductible, which will increase from $155 in 2010 to $162 in 2011.
The Medicare Part A hospital insurance deductible will also increase. For hospital stays up to 60 days, the cost will increase from $1100 to $1132. For stays lasting longer, the per day rate will be $283 for hospital stays lasting between 61 to 90 days and $566 per day for 91 to 150 days.
The skilled nursing facility co-payment for days 21 to 100 will increase from $137.50 per day to $141.50 per day.

Hello Kriesi – I have just got my cu3er flash object working in my twicet site.
Thought you might be interested. I just purchased the new Brightbox theme but I really loved the simplicity of twicet so I rolled back and embedded the cu3er into the home page.
Thanks again.
Looking good! Nice to see a different type of customisation vs. the regular colour / image changes.
The topic 'Twicet with cu3er is up and running' is closed to new replies.

This invention relates to an optical coin sensing station and has particular but not exclusive application to sensing coins leaving the outlet port of a coin hopper.
Optical coin sensors have been used for coin hoppers and coin validators in order to detect the presence of coins travelling along a coin passageway. Conventionally, an optical source such as a light emitting diode (LED) directs a beam of light across the coin passageway to a photosensor such as a photodiode. Interruption of the beam by a coin travelling along the passageway is detected by sensor circuitry connected to the photodiode, so as to indicate the presence of a coin. In many situations, coins of different diameters travel along the same passageway and a single source-detector pair will not necessarily detect all coin diameters reliably. Additionally, problems arise with coins that contain holes, which give rise to spurious results from conventional detectors. In order to overcome these problems, hitherto, it has been proposed to use more than one source-detector pair spaced apart across the width of the passageway. However, this increases the component count for the sensor and adds to its expense.
In EP-A-0 017 428 (Mars Inc) there is described an optical sensor in which a beam from a source is arranged to cross a coin passageway on a first occurrence and is the reflected back to a sensor, on the same side of the passageway as the source. Thus, the beam crosses the passageway at two spaced apart locations, which increases reliability of detection for coins of different diameter. However, with this arrangement, significant problems remain. For example, the beam crossings for the passageway need to be arranged in pairs which does not necessarily conveniently fit the geometrical arrangement of the coin hopper or coin validator. In some situations, the most efficient detecting arrangement includes an odd number of sensing locations across the width of the channel; this cannot be achieved by means of the prior art configuration of EP-A-0 017 428. Furthermore, the optical source needs to be directly facing the major surfaces of the coin whereas, in practice, there may not be sufficient room in the coin hopper or validator to accommodate this configuration.
The present invention provides a solution to these problems. In accordance with the invention, there is provided an optical coin sensing station comprising means defining a passageway along which coins can pass edgewise, a source for providing a source beam of optical radiation, beam splitting means for providing first and second sensing beams from the source beam, means for directing the sensing beams to traverse the passageway at spaced apart locations, first and second sensor means for respectively detecting the first and second sensing beams after having traversed the passageway, whereby the passage of at least one of the sensing beams to its respective sensor means is interrupted by the major surfaces of a coin passing along the passageway, and means responsive to outputs from the sensor means to detect the presence of a coin.
Thus, in accordance with the invention, by the use of a beam splitting means, it is possible to direct the first and second sensing beams from a single source beam, across the passageway at different, spaced apart locations.
In a preferred embodiment, a second source is provided with a second beam splitting means, and a third sensor is provided spaced from the first and second sensors. The second beam splitting means forms third and fourth sensing beams, the third sensing beam being directed to the third sensor, whereas the fourth sensing beam is directed to the second sensor. All three sensors may receive light of substantially similar intensity levels.
The output means conveniently comprises an OR circuit so that an indication of the presence of a coin in the passageway is provided when any one of the sensing beams is interrupted.
The sensing station conveniently is formed in a housing formed of optically transparent material, the passageway including a slot in the housing through which the coins pass edgewise. Receptacles can be formed in the housing to receive the optical sources and the source beams may be directed through the material of the housing. The source beams can be reflected by total internal reflection by means of specially configured surfaces on the housing. The beam splitting means may conveniently comprise angled surfaces formed integrally in the housing.
By means of the invention, the or each said source can be disposed to one side of the passageway, with the source beam being directed exteriorly of the passageway in the direction of its width dimension. As a result, the arrangement can be much more compact than the aforementioned prior art configurations whilst still being able to detect coins of different diameter travelling along the passageway.
In order that the invention may be more fully understood an embodiment thereof will now be described by way of illustrative example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a coin hopper that includes an optical coin sensing station in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the coin hopper shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the optical sensing station housing shown schematically in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a front end view of the housing shown in FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view the housing shown in FIG. 3;
FIG. 6 is a sectional view of the housing taken along the line D--D of FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along the line A--A of FIG. 3;
FIG. 8 is a sectional taken along the line B--B of FIG. 3;
FIG. 9 is a sectional view along line C--C of FIG. 4; and
FIG. 10 is a schematic sectional view of the sensing station, showing two light emitting diodes and three photosensors installed in the housing of FIG. 3, various light paths being shown schematically.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, an optical sensing station in accordance with the invention is shown embodied in a coin hopper, which operates in accordance with the principles described in our EP-A-0 266 021. Briefly described, the coin hopper consists of a base part 1 which includes an electric motor (not shown) that rotates a paddle 2 which contains a plurality of apertures 3 that receive coins (not shown) which are fed from above into a transparent plastic hopper cover 4 in the direction of arrow IN. Columns of coins (not shown) build up in the apertures 3, and coins are ejected individually by means of spring loaded members through a coin outlet port 6 in the direction of arrow OUT, as the paddle 2 is rotated in the direction of arrow 7. A more detailed explanation of the manner of ejection of successive coins is given in EP-A-0 266 021 supra. The coin outlet port 6 is provided with an optical sensing station 8, the location of which is shown in dotted outline in FIG. 1 and is shown schematically in FIG. 2 on the exterior of the base 1, by way of illustration. However, the optical sensing station may be integrated into the base 1.
Referring now to FIGS. 3 to 10, the optical sensing station 8 includes a moulded housing 9 of plastics material that includes a slot 10 through which successive coins pass. The housing is affixed to the base part 1 by means of screws (not shown) which pass through apertures 11, 12 in the housing 9.
As shown in FIG. 9, individual coins ejected from the apertures 3 in the paddle 2 (FIGS. 1 and 2) pass edgewise through the slot 10 and by way of illustration, coin 13 is shown passing in the direction of arrow 14 through the slot. The slot has a width dimension W and the slot has a tapered side wall 15 so that the width dimension increases in the direction of coin travel.
As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the housing includes first and second receptacles 16, 17 on opposite sides of the slot in the width dimension thereof, which as shown in FIG. 10 receive first and second light sources in the form of light emitting diodes 18, 19. As shown in FIG. 6, the receptacles have curved end surfaces 16a, 17a, which act as lenses to collimate light from the light emitting diodes 18, 19.
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3 to 6, the housing includes first, second and third photosensor receptacles 20, 21, 22 which, as shown in FIG. 10 receive first second and third photosensors in the form of photodiodes 23, 24, 25. The first and second light sources 18, 19 produce first and second source beams 26, 27, on opposite sides of the slot 10, which are directed to respective reflectors 28, 29 that are integrally moulded in the material of the housing 9. The reflectors operate by a total internal reflection, so as to direct the first and second source beams 26, in the material of the housing 9 exteriorly of the slot 10, in the direction of the width dimension W, along paths 30, 31. The beams 30, 31 then encounter first and second beam splitting means in the form of reflective surfaces 32, 33 also integrally moulded in the housing 9. Referring to FIG. 3, the beams 30, 31 are broad in relation to the dimensions of the reflective surfaces 32, 33, so that only part of the light is reflected by the surfaces. Thus considering the surface 32, part of the beam 30 is reflected thereby, so as to form a first source beam 34 which traverses the slot 10 in the thickness direction T shown in FIG. 10. Also, part of the energy of the source beam 30 passes to one side of the reflective surface 32 to form beam 35, which then encounters a reflector 36, also integrally moulded in the housing 9. This surface reflects the beam 35 in the direction of arrow 37, so as to traverse the slot 10 and reach the second detector 24, thus forming a portion of a centrally disposed second sensing beam 37, which is spaced from the first beam 34 across the width W of the slot.
Light from the second source 19 is processed in a similar manner. The source beam 31 from the second source 19 encounters reflector 33 which reflects part of its energy in the direction of arrow 38 so as to form a third sensing beam that is directed to the third photosensor 25 at a position spaced from the first and second sensing beams 34, 37 in the width dimension W of the slot 10. A remaining portion of the energy of the source beam passes to one side of the reflective surface 33 so as to form beam 39 which encounters reflective surface 40 integrally moulded in the housing 9. The beam 39 is consequently reflected so as to form part of the second source beam 37 and is directed to the second sensor 24.
As shown in FIG. 3, the various surfaces, 29 to 32, 40, and 36, 33, 29 are staggered in the breadth dimension B of the housing so that for example, for the beam 30, part of the light is directed into the first sensing beam 34 (FIG. 10) and part is directed into the second sensing beam 37. By appropriately positioning and dimensioning the relative sizes of the reflectors and reflective surfaces, it is possible to arrange for the three photodetectors 23, 24, 25 all to receive substantially the same light intensity or in some other predetermined, desired intensity relationship. For the second beam 37, some of the light is derived from the first source 18 and some derived from the second source 19.
Thus, the first second and third sensing beams 34, 37, 38 FIG. 10) traverse the slot 10 at spaced apart positions along the width dimension thereof so that, referring to FIG. 9, when the coin 13 enters the slot it interrupts at least one of the sensing beams. Since the beams are positioned across the width of the slot, at east one of the beams will be interrupted by the coin 13. It will be seen that the interruption will occur for a range of coins of different diameter, varying from a coin corresponding to the full width of the slot to much smaller coins. In order to provide reliable detection, as shown in FIG. 10, the outputs of the photodetectors 23, 24, 25 are fed to an OR gate 41 which provides an output on line 42 whenever any single one of the sensing beams is interrupted by the passage of a coin through the slot.
Many modifications and variations of the optical sensing station are possible. For example, whilst the invention has been described in relation to a coin hopper, it could equally well be used as a post acceptance sensor in a coin validator in order to provide a positive indication that a coin has passed through the validator to the accept channel thereof. Also, the first and second beam splitting means 32, 33 shown in the described example could be formed in different ways, for example as semi-reflective surfaces rather than the partially reflective surfaces shown. Also, further sensing beams could be produced from either or both of the sources if enhanced resolution is required.

New Hobbit Posters Or Pantene Commercial? You Decide.
By Joanna Robinson | Miscellaneous | November 4, 2013 | Comments ()
Only 39 shopping days until The Hobbit 2: Electric Dwarvaloo hits theaters. Here are seven new glossy-haired character posters to get you in the mood.
First of all, what in blazes is going on with Bilbo's face and hair? Why photoshop the adorable perfection that is Martin Freeman? I mean, I get giving the elves the marble statue treatment, but the hobbit? Leave his crags be. Also why is his hair fifty shades of darker? In case you forgot, this is what Bilbo Baggins looks like.
Secondly, we all agree that after the Cumberbatch voice, Lee Pace's performance as Legolas's Dwarf Racist Party Dad, Thranduil is the thing we're looking forward to the most, right? LOOK HOW DAMN FABULOUS.
Thirdly, I am, with reservation, looking forward to Luke Evans as Bard The Bowman. Evans (that's the second head of hair from the bottom) has been pretty decent in a number of terrible movies (The Three Musketeers, The Immortals) and I'd like to see him break out.
Finally, first person to photoshop "LothL'óreal: Because You're Worth It" on the bottom of these posters gets some freshly baked Lembas bread.
Pajiba Love Express
Here's some Daveed Diggs for you. On Daveed Diggs' digs, actually. That man does things with clothes that should not make sense, but are absolutely perfect. (Go Fug Yourself)
Woody Allen has "so moved on" from his daughter's accusations and says he never even thinks about it. He equates her words about him to a bad review he won't read and comments on how wacky it is that Mia Farrow is his mother-in-law. He is the worst. (Celebitchy)
Not The Worst but still very gross: Leonardo DiCaprio and his
Here are 5 under-the-radar shows. I had never even heard of the first two. (Uproxx)

Off-Campus Housing:
La Jolla is beautiful but too expensive. Also, the city is not made for younger people 20-30. There is no night-life. You have to drive to downtown, PB, Tijuana, Hillcrest etc.
Off-Campus Housing:
I currently live off-campus and I prefer it much more than on-campus. The only con would be the convenience because now I need to always plan for buses and commuting time. But other than that, living off-campus is cheaper, cleaner and more-homey. Lots of variety of off-campus arrangements too.
Off-Campus Housing:
The cost of La Jolla is high. You would definitely appreciate the help of a roommate to pay the rent. Most people live with up to 4 people to bring down the cost. The area is very nice, but the cost can be difficult to deal with. A lot of students tend to live at UTC, but again, the cost makes it hard to live alone. Most of the local student areas though tend to be near the shuttle for campus and you hardly need your car. THAT IS 100% worth it. The parking is terrible and you'll save money by not driving and not paying for parking.
Off-Campus Housing:
Unfortunately, I have little personal experience with the pros and cons of off-campus housing. Students usually do it for the freedom of campus rules and the bigger living space, even if cost is about the same as off-campus.
Off-Campus Housing:
Nice places, not too much if you double room up.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Finding off-campus housing for the first time can be a nerve-racking experience. Finding housing is not difficult, but finding affordable housing can be. Living in La Jolla is convenient because of the close proximity to school, but it is very expensive. To offset the cost of living in La Jolla, most students have three or four roommates. There are various advantages to living in La Jolla: It's a safe neighborhood, it's close to campus, there are tons of apartments available, all of the apartments are relatively new and well-maintained, and it's also close to the beach. La Jolla can be a great place to live, and there are some apartment deals if you look hard enough.
It can also be an advantage to move out of La Jolla. Other popular cities close to campus are Pacific Beach, Clairemont, University City, and Mira Mesa. Rent is usually cheaper in these areas, and they are almost as nice as La Jolla. For students who choose to live farther from campus, the main complaint is the commute. There are usually not direct bus routes to school, which causes the commute by bus to be unbearably long. There is also a lot of traffic in the mornings and evenings on the freeways, and it is always a challenge to park on campus. If you don't mind driving and dealing with parking, then moving out of La Jolla would be for you. Otherwise, most students decide to find roommates or pay a little extra in rent so they can live in La Jolla and have an easier commute to campus.

Skip to comments.Almost 50% of Americans on government assistance
Posted on 07/09/2012 7:43:54 PM PDT by MaryLou1
click here to read article
Those willing to serve their country with their lives, deserve to be looked after by their country should they survive. There's a difference between getting a pension because you turn 65 and between getting a pension in service of your country.
End social security first and then we can talk about asset divestiture.
I have no problem with selling off land and assets of the state in order to repay the obligation. It's far fairer than continuing the ponzi scheme.
However, are you sure you want this? You'd get out exactly what you put in, no more no less. Most folks who are already collecting have collected far in excess to what they paid. You wouldn't get very much out since there's no obligation to account for inflation.
Besides widespread looting, rioting, robbery and murder one of the problems is the members of Congress would find themselves without homes, families or safety.
I really doubt anarchy is the route anyone wants to take.
On the other hand, the US government owns land with resources.
Somebody forgot to pay attention to Newt Gingrich. He identified a single chunk of federal land where the anticipated royalties for oil extraction from proven reserves is well over $100 trillion.
A debtor with that kind of asset has no excuse for not paying his bills.
Thanks for your kind words, JC.
"A debtor with that kind of asset has no excuse for not paying his bills."
Here's the problem. Rather than reforming the system, we're kicking the can down the road.
What's going to happen when there's no money out there to pay into social security? All these dangers you list are an inevitable consequence of maintaining the status quo.
We'll have several different kinds of free hydrogen fusion energy sources by then ~
They are NOT talking about every single member in the household receiving benefits.
Grandpa on SSI ~ after being run down by an illegal alien in 1985 ~ he counts, but the kids and grandkids, all of whom have jobs don't!
That's just the statistics ~ then there are people who simply do not believe in Obama Money. They know where the welfare comes from ~ and they're not inclined one way or the other to vote for any particular politician on account of their check.
I see. So you aren't worried about the impending fiscal collapse?
The United States simply does not need to repudiate debt ~ certainly not that owed to American citizens, and probably not that owed to foreigners.
"There is no impending fiscal collapse ~ there will be a reordering and restructuring and as soon as we can get rid of Obama and his fellow Luddites, things should be much better."
We've got at least 4 more years of massive overspending, and that's assuming no more spending is piled on top of the spending that's already there, and Obamacare gets repealed.
"The United States simply does not need to repudiate debt"
It's at least 25 years before the US will be on sound financial footing. Depending on what damage the boomers do on their way out the door, might be even longer.
Repudiating that debt is probably not in your best interest.
As far as being fiscally sound, any country with $100 trillion in assets in one small area is not in trouble.
Now, how to make some quick cash ~ totally different issue. To do that we collect tribute from those who benefit from our defense forces.
Worked for Greece, worked for Rome, worked for the Persians, the Chinese, the ancient Koreans, everybody did it that way.
When you're on top, you're on top and THEY OWE YOU!
I'd take it in a heartbeat.
About a quarter mil.
Well played.
If they're entitled, why did you call them welfare cheats and thieves?
I gave you a cite to a USN&WR report that says 2012 unemployment rates for RNs (nationwide) is 5.5%. You say "they aren't hiring."
Here's a link to the AJC for RN classified ads. About 200 ads for RNs of different types, none older than 29 days.
You may have anecdotal experience with your acquaintences, and it may be that California RNs are having a tough time. However, here in Georgia, that does not compute. There is no evidence otherwise than a better-than-job category unemployment rate.
The AJC link:
Isn't that Metro Atlanta?
It's good to hear there are openings in Atlanta Metro ~ went through them and it looks heavy on the surgery side ~ which means you need just all sorts of certifications, not just an RN!
Nurses with technical certifications can achieve transfers and higher pay of course.
Not sure what you mean by anecdotal references ~ after you suggested someone with an RN might just wander in off the street into an RN job I presumed you knew all about the effect of technical specialties on job availability.
If not, I just gave you some hints.
We are working with some serious babysitting here while the DIL gets a new certification in surgical ICU.
Nursing is becoming incredibly specialized and matching the individual to the job is very important. You can't just take any old RN and put her into a job where turning a dial the wrong way might fry the patient to death. Ask Dick Cheney about his experience here in Fairfax. He had the "best".
I can think of several reasons why I wouldn't want an habitual gambler working around in a hospital. Maybe she has a criminal record you don't know about.
I did some research on these two. A real pair of lowlifes. They likely don't have a criminal record, but they sure have figured out how to survive off of us. My opinion is that neither will EVER work a legitimate job again if Obama is re-elected. I pity their children.
Having had some experience with gambling addicts it's probably best neither of them ever have legitimate employment.
"They are entitled to their (SS) money."
Ooh, and we have a liar!
I said, they are entitled to their money.
They are not entitled to mine. Social Security is collecting money from me, to pay them, just like a ponzi scheme.
"why did you call them welfare cheats and thieves?"
They are theives insofar as they advocate stealing from other people in order to 'get theirs'. Did I take money from them? No. Then why are they taking money from me? It's not right.
So you're in favor of killing social security now?
You also said and or clearly implied they're, "Welfare cheats and thieves.
Which is it?
Ooh, and we have a liar!
We do?
Did you not say this in regards to Social Security?
If not, WTF are you talking about?
"The immense debt piled up that's owed to Social Security was devised to smooth the transition of the Boomers through their older years."
And it's been spent on goodies already.
"Repudiating that debt is probably not in your best interest."
There are simply not enough young folks to pay it all. There are several options though.
1, raising taxes to 75 percent on everyone, just like it was pre-boomer era. That would be a nice FU to the folks like me trying to climb the ladder in the first place. It would ensure that the Boomers did 'get there's' but would bring on a second Great depression.
2, keep taxes where they are and keep the payouts. This will run up the debt. The US is already at 120 percent of debt to GDP. Running 10 percent year over year deficits for 20 years to ensure that the boomers get theres, would leave us with a debt of close to 300 percent of GDP. Interest payments alone at 5 percent would amount to 15 percent of the US GDP. So, while that is a 'solution', it would destroy the US.
3, Eliminating social security. This would end the ponzi scheme, preserve the republic and ensure that the US has a future.
So which is your choice? 1 or 2 or 3? Please tell me.
"As far as being fiscally sound, any country with $100 trillion in assets in one small area is not in trouble."
You've got your head in the sand.
"Worked for Greece, worked for Rome, worked for the Persians, the Chinese, the ancient Koreans, everybody did it that way."
Ahahahahaha. Europe is broke. Even if you could get them to collect, you'd never get a dime.
"Did you not say this in regards to Social Security?"
You altered my statement. That is a lie.
I said it very clearly. As long as Social security is collecting money from young people and paying it to older ones, it is generational theft.
If social security operated the way it should, your money would still be there in Kerry's purported lockbox. That it is not, is not my problem. It does not excuse your theft that other people stole from you. I didn't steal a dime, and you are stealing from me.
Now, if that's difficult for you to grasp, I don't know what to say.
You altered my statement. That is a lie.
Listen, I asked you a simple legitimate question which you're now evading.
Did you not say this in regards to Social Security?
"Did you not say this in regards to Social Security?"
Why did you alter it?
Why did you alter it?
Diversion and evasion are tools of deceit.
BTW slick, did ya see the parentheses used?
Now are you going to answer the question, or play your stupid little game of deceit?
"BTW slick, did ya see the parentheses used?"
And why did you add them?
What a lying deceitful piece of work you are.
Since you evaded the question multiple times...
See the tagline! You defined it el perfecto.
See ya!
Heh, I'm not the one rewriting people's words, *just because*.
Again, you go to bankruptcy court they aren't concerned with just your cash in hand, they want to know where your assets are ~ even those you thought were hidden.
The US Government has assets to pledge against debt. That should be done first before tossing the old folks into the streets ~
Ya see the Internet makes a great witness. Anyone can read back to see why questions are being evaded.
Watching people like you answer a question with a question, is a real kick! It's like a written confession!
Those who repeatedly evade questions, like you, do so for good reason.
Anytime you want to play, ping me.
Why did you change what I wrote?
"The US Government has assets to pledge against debt. That should be done first before tossing the old folks into the streets."
The first thing that has to be done is to enact fiscal sanity. That means getting rid of social security.
You're right, we should do everything possible. However, what you aren't getting is that if we just keep kicking the can down the road (like you propose), the money going to the seniors isn't going to be there. What then? Your answer seems to be 'borrow more'. See, this is why my generation is getting so pissed off at the folks on the dole.
Say we give all of you your quarter million. That's about 60 million people x 250 thousand, or 15 TRILLION dollars.
That's right, 15 TRILLION dollars. You're willing to bankrup the nation rather than avert fiscal apocalypse. Some of us have to live in the America left to come.
And certainly not at the pitiful $6,000,000,000,000 borrowed from Social Security to pay for government backed mortgages and educational loans.
You have, at a minimum, $100 TRILLION in negotiable assets in just one hydrocarbon site. There are several other sites of possibly equal value.
Someone with $100 trillion in assets cannot plead poverty as an excuse in the face of a mere $6 trillion debt.
To invoke the privilege of age and class warfare as justification for screwing the creditors is ridiculous.
"And certainly not at the pitiful $6,000,000,000,000 borrowed from Social Security to pay for government backed mortgages and educational loans."
Money that went for goodies that the boomers have already received.
"Someone with $100 trillion in assets cannot plead poverty as an excuse in the face of a mere $6 trillion debt."
So tell me why that asset should be given away to people who have spent the assets that they did have?
"To invoke the privilege of age and class warfare as justification for screwing the creditors is ridiculous."
Why not? That's exactly what social security does. It invokes the privilege of age.
Here's your problem ~ the $6 trillion was taken from the Boomers IN ADVANCE of the actuarially determined need.
It was spent on cr*p by people long dead.
Now you want to have that obligation canceled so you can do what?
Isn't it enough that housing prices have been cut in half?

"Here's your problem ~ the $6 trillion was taken from the Boomers IN ADVANCE of the actuarially determined need."
Money that the boomers themselves took out to pay for toys and goodies.
"It was spent on cr*p by people long dead."
You said it was used to fund housing and education. Seems to me Boomers made a decision and are unhappy with the results of that decision.
"Now you want to have that obligation canceled so you can do what?"
What obligation do I have to pay into social security? Is it constitutional? I don't want social security. I'm ok with not receiving a penny. I'd much rather stash my own money away and make more.
I want social security done away with because:
1, it's a ponzi scheme.
2, it's one of the largest wastes of money by the government
3, it does a terrible job of the one thing it is supposed to do - give you a return on your 'investment'.
We could have scrapped it 12 years ago, but the Boomers said no then. Now they are pissy that people want to scrap it now. Cry me a river.
You had your chance to do the right thing and kill an unconstitutional relic. But you want to get your hand up to the trough first before you check out.
And you'll get it to - by bankrupting the nation along the way. Who cares about the future so long as I got mine!
"Isn't it enough that housing prices have been cut in half?"
Thank God they've fallen somewhat back to sane levels. Housing should be about 3x what people make. Now we might be able to actually afford a house if anyone is willing to hire us for 30k or so a year.
Whether it's constitutional or not, it's there ~ the money was seized at the point of a gun from people who would want it back.
You can't just cancel out the debt ~ that is theft.
Thanks for this thread.
Any one of us that has the Proud Welfare Eagle fly over our mail box knows that we are on the Federal Entitlement Tax Slavery Plantation.
THE MAN lives in THE BIG HOUSE at 1600 Plantation Avenue, District of Corruption.
As Federal Entitlement Tax Slaves we can vote in anything that we want to - - - , we ARE the 50 % !
"Whether it's constitutional or not, it's there ~ the money was seized at the point of a gun from people who would want it back."
And it's still seizing money at the point of the gun from people who want it back. It hasn't stopped doing this.
"You can't just cancel out the debt ~ that is theft."
And stealing it from your children isn't? Do you think your child doesn't notice you running through his piggy bank? What do you think your child is going to think when he sees this?
Everyone has their own responsibility to look after their own retirement. It was wrong that the money was stolen from you, I agree. But it's not less wrong to steal that money from other people. This is why social security has to end.
As far as I'm concerned, either you guys end it, or we will. If it means that my generation is the one that pays in and gets nothing out of it, then fine. At least our kids are going to have a future.
Look, Social Security is chump change compared to the wealth in this country that is held by the federal government.
Kick the can, kick the can. Just keep kicking that can down the road and leave the mess for others to clean up.
i think the can has quite a ways to go before we start tossing the old folks out in the road.

A report from San Diego Comic-Con on "Star Trek" superfan and museum founder Huston Huddleston.
Netflix's new docu-series tackles a fascinating story of a community college that serves as the final stop for dozens of potential superstars.
"Live and Let Die" is the ninth James Bond picture, and not exactly the best. It has all the necessary girls, gimmicks, subterranean control rooms, uniformed goons and magic wristwatches it can hold, but it doesn't have the wit and it doesn't have the style of the best Bond movies.
This may have something to do with the substitution of Roger Moore for Sean Connery as 007. Moore has the superficial attributes for the job: The urbanity, the quizzically raised eyebrow, the calm under fire and in bed. But Connery was always able to invest the role with a certain humor, a sense of its ridiculousness. Moore has been supplied with a lot of double entendres and double takes, but he doesn't seem to get the joke.
The plot this time begins in the usual way, with the disappearance of what are inevitably described as "three of our best men." One died in New York, one in New Orleans (during a funeral that turned out, alas, to be his own) and one in the Caribbean. Needless to say, a string of coincidences link the murders and they seem to lead to Mr. Big. Mr. Big is played, I guess, by Yaphet Kotto. I have to guess because either I wasn't listening or it was never quite explained whether Kotto was fronting for Big or was really Big all along and just pretended to front for him. Not that it matters; the movie doesn't have a Bond villain worthy of the Goldfingers, Dr. Nos and Oddjobs of the past.
The bad guys, indeed, are a little banal. In the past, Bond has conquered evil scientists bent on enslaving the world. He has broken up a scheme to destroy our space satellites with laser beams. He has, let's see, saved the dollar by protecting our gold supply (something the current administration is less successful at). That's big-time stuff. But this time, all the bad guys are doing is growing a billion dollars worth of heroin in order to take over the illegal dope industry from the mob. (They're black, but the movie's ads mercifully refrain from promising they've got a plan to stick it to the man, maybe out of deference to Bond's British origins. This is, after all, Discover America summer.)
There are a few elements every Bond movie absolutely must have, and "Live and Let Die" has them. It opens, of course, with a meeting with M and the faithful Miss Moneypenny. It has Bond arriving at the Caribbean hideout by man-bearing kite. It has a spectacular chase (this one involves speedboats, but isn't as much fun as the great ski chase two Bonds ago). It has a spectacularly destroyed villain (he swallows a capsule of compressed air and explodes). It has the girls. And it has Bond exhibiting his mastery of the better things in life by asking room service for a bottle of Bollinger - not cold, but "slightly chilled," please.
And it does, to give it credit, have the one basic Bond scene that always seems copied from the previous Bond movie: The penetration of the underground citadel. This scene always begins with Bond pressing a bidden lever or discovering the secret door. Then there's a shot of a vast underground cavern, which is filled with uniformed functionaries who hurry about on mysterious scientific errands.
Bond slips unobserved from one hiding place to another; is discovered; eludes his pursuers; watches as six hired goons hurry past; and then goes through another door and unexpectedly finds the villain waiting there for him. The dialog here is always the same, something like "Come in, Mr. Bond, we've been expecting you . . ." And then . . . but do you get the same notion I do, that after nine of these we've just about had enough?
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- For their inaugural event, the Woodhull Freedom Foundation Los Angeles [http://www.wffla.info] is holding a fundraiser in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, August 15, 2009. The Academy will be the location for ''A Celebration of Sexual Freedom'', with your sex-positive hosts Nina Hartley, Carol Queen and Mistress Shae Flanigan.
WFFLA works to affirm sexual freedom as a fundamental human right. WFFLA fights to protect and advance freedom of speech and sexual expression for all lifestyles and all types of adult entertainment, from the internet to adult nightclubs. WFFLA promotes sexuality as a positive personal, social and moral value through research, advocacy, activism, education and outreach.
Special Guests for this evening of ebullience include, Ms. International Leather 2009, Lamalani, Award-Winning Adult Film Director and Taboo Editor, Ernest Greene and Jeff Booth of Erotic University. Babeland, the Stockroom, Hustler Hollywood and Mikey and Mandy.com proudly sponsor this important event for the newly formed WFFLA.
Those that work in a wide range of sexually oriented businesses, such as adult films, exotic dancing or as a sex worker, and those into BDSM, swinging, polyamory, or any other non-traditional mode of sexual expression, as well as members of the gay community know firsthand the condemnation that many in our culture direct at them. They may lose their jobs, face persecution or suffer the pain of having their family broken up by the courts. Today, more and more people are beginning to stand up for the right to express their sexuality with other consenting adults without harassment or discrimination. ''a Celebration of Sexual Freedom'' brings together all of these communities to embrace their right to live as they choose and support WFFLA in fighting for their sexual freedom.
''A Celebration of Sexual Freedom'' will commence at 7:30 PM on Saturday, August 15, 2009. Admission is $35 per person, and is tax deductible to the extent allowable by law for additional information and requests for interviews, call Jim Rea, (310) 454- 6517.
To be reserve your place on the press List for WFFLA's ''A Celebration of Sexual Freedom'', please contact WFF press Coordinator, Jim Rea by phone, (310) 454- 6517.
About the Woodhull Freedom Foundation, Los Angeles:
The Woodhull Freedom Foundation, a Washington D.C. based 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, fights for freedom of sexual expression for consenting adults. The organization is named for 19th century activist Victoria Woodhull. Woodhull was a progressive and outspoken nineteenth-century Suffragette who introduced sex- positive values to America during the repressive Victorian era. The WFF continues to uphold the ideals of Victoria Woodhull, working to produce national debate around sex and sexuality, bringing public attitudes and private behaviors closer together, and ultimately fighting to remove the stigmas surrounding expressions of gender and sexuality. The Woodhull Freedom Foundation, Los Angeles is the latest of many local offices in the WFF network.

Diabetes Health Center
Type 2 Diabetes in Children - What Happens
Type 2 diabetes usually develops in adulthood, but the number of children being diagnosed with the disease is rising. Children with type 2 diabetes are usually diagnosed during the early teen years. During this time, their bodies are growing and developing rapidly, placing a demand on the pancreas to produce additional insulin.
The hormones released during puberty can make it harder than usual for the body to use insulin correctly (insulin resistance). Also, children with type 2 diabetes are usually overweight, which also contributes to insulin resistance. If the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin to overcome the resistance, diabetes can develop.
Diabetes experts believe the disease progresses as it does in adults. The main risk factors for complications from diabetes are the length of time a person has diabetes and the degree of blood sugar control. A child who develops type 2 diabetes may have an increased risk of complications, because he or she will have the disease for a long time. Some complications that children and teens may develop include:
- Eye disease (diabetic retinopathy) and kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy).
- High blood pressure or high cholesterol, which increases the risk of heart and blood vessel disease later in life.
If a child's blood sugar levels remain high for a long time, he or she may grow at an abnormal rate-faster than normal for a while, then slower than normal later. If blood sugar levels stay high during puberty, normal changes and the start of menstruation may be delayed.
The way to prevent complications is to always keep blood sugar levels in a target range. This requires that your child follow his or her treatment plan daily and monitor blood sugar levels often. Your child also will need ongoing diabetes education and regular checkups. Other medical conditions, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol, need adequate medical care also, because they raise the risk for diabetes complications.
Children with type 2 diabetes have to modify their lifestyles. Your child will be more successful if your whole family is involved. These lifestyle changes benefit everyone by reducing the risk for diabetes and heart disease.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — One of the last survivors of the Bataan Death March has died.
Elias Saavedra died Wednesday at his San Rafael, New Mexico, home. He was 96.
His son Alfred Saavedra says his father died of natural causes.
Saavedra was born in 1918 and joined the New Mexico National Guard. He was one of 75,000 Filipino and American soldiers taken captive by the Japanese in World War II when U.S. forces surrendered in the province of Bataan and Corregidor Island in April 1942.
Tens of thousands of the troops were forced to march to Japanese prison camps in what became known as the Bataan Death March. Many were denied food, water and medical care.
After the war, Saavedra returned to New Mexico where he operated a service station in San Rafael.
Last month, CBS 11 News spoke with Charles Dragich — a North Texan who also survived the infamous Bataan Death March. It took until 2008 for Dragich to be recognized for his commitment, determination and heroism. He is now 97-years-old.

What's the AngularJS way to access cookies? I've seen references to both a service and a module for cookies, but no examples.
Is there, or is there not an AngularJS canonical approach?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
What's the AngularJS way to access cookies? I've seen references to both a service and a module for cookies, but no examples.
Is there, or is there not an AngularJS canonical approach?
This answer has been updated to reflect latest stable angularjs version. One important note is that $cookieStore is a thin wrapper surrounding $cookies. They are pretty much the same in that they only work with session cookies. Although, this answers the original question, there are other solutions you may wish to consider such as using localstorage, or jquery.cookie plugin (which would give you more fine-grained control and do serverside cookies. Of course doing so in angularjs means you probably would want to wrap them in a service and use scope.apply to notify angular of changes to models (in some cases).
One other note and that is that there is a slight difference between the two when pulling data out depending on if you used $cookie to store value or $cookieStore. Of course, you'd really want to use one or the other.
In addition to adding reference to the js file you need to inject ngCookies into your app definition such as:
you should then be good to go.
Here is a functional minimal example, where I show that cookieStore is a thin wrapper around cookies:
The steps are:
This is how you can set and get cookie values. This is what I was originally looking for when I found this question.
Note we use
Angular deprecated
See the Docs for an API overview. Mind also that the cookie service has been enhanced with some new important features like setting expiration (see this answer) and domain (see CookiesProvider Docs).
Note that, in version 1.3.x or below, $cookies has a different syntax than above:
Also if you are using bower, make sure to type your package name correctly:
where X.Y.Z is the AngularJS version you are running. There's another package in bower "angular-cookie"(without the 's') which is not the official angular package.
Make sure you include http://code.angularjs.org/1.0.0rc10/angular-cookies-1.0.0rc10.js to use it.
FYI, I put together a JSFiddle of this using the $cookieStore, two controllers, a $rootScope, and AngularjS 1.0.6. It's on JSFifddle as http://jsfiddle.net/krimple/9dSb2/ as a base if you're messing around with this...
The gist of it is:
Hope it helps those experimenting.
AngularJS provides ngCookies module and $cookieStore service to use Browser Cookies.
We need to add angular-cookies.min.js file to use cookie feature.
Here is some method of AngularJS Cookie.
I have Taken reference from http://www.tutsway.com/simple-example-of-cookie-in-angular-js.php.
The original accepted answer mentions jquery.cookie plugin. A few months ago though, it was renamed to js-cookie and the jQuery dependency removed. One of the reasons was just to make it easy to integrate with other frameworks, like Angular.
Now, if you want to integrate js-cookie with angular, it is as easy as something like:
And that's it. No jQuery. No ngCookies.
You can also create custom instances to handle specific server-side cookies that are written differently. Take for example PHP, that convert the spaces
The usage for a custom Provider would be something like this:
I hope this helps anyone.
See detailed info in this issue: https://github.com/js-cookie/js-cookie/issues/103
For detailed docs on how to integrate with server-side, see here: https://github.com/js-cookie/js-cookie/blob/master/SERVER_SIDE.md
Thank you for your interest in this question.
Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site (the association bonus does not count).
Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?

We last left our intrepid party of investigators - Kurt Cobain, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, and Eazy-E - in the early 1990s having dealt with a serial-killing cult of flame-monster Tulzscha. It is now 1992, a presidential election year, and things seem relatively quiet. But a surprise third-party presidential candidate is gaining serious traction with a platform of "nuking the Arabs." Unless the investigators can stop him and his sinister agenda, Morton Downey Jr. just might become the next president of the US of freaking A. Loosely based on the scenario "The Yithian Candidate" from The 1990's Handbook.
Zack: Last time Kurt Cobain defeated ghouls disguised as Ninja Turtles, but not before receiving a serious injury, Eazy-E discovered the waiters at a Chi-Chis seem to be suffering from radiation poisoning, and Left Eye blew up a Morton Downey Jr. campaign office and found a lead-lined safe and a crushed gem.
Steve: And more pamphlets from that American Prosperity place that you said was in Salton City.
Zack: Right, the pro-nuclear energy group that seems tied somehow to Downey's presidential campaign. So you have a few leads, what are you going to do?
Steve: We were going to go to Seattle to talk to Courtney Love about the busted up gem.
Zack: You arrive in the dreary city of Seattle. According to the radio, Downey is up in the polls, and with elections only a couple weeks away it is looking more and more like he has a real shot at winning. The final presidential debate is coming up and will be held in Los Angeles at Mann's Chinese Theatre.
Steve: What party does Morton Downey belong to?
Zack: The Like It Is Party. He tells it like it is, no varnish, and, buddy, you're just gonna have to deal with it.
Zack: Courtney Love has a metaphysical geology lab at the University of Seattle. You walk in and she is in a lab coat and carefully aiming a green laser at a 10-foot geode.
Steve: I'll have Kurt do the talking.
Zack: Kurt is there but he is totally out of it right now on heroin. He has been riding the horse pretty hard since the Teenage Mutant Ninja Ghouls shredded his torso. He is also wearing bloody bandages under his flannel.
Steve: Alright, Left Eye will do the talking then. "What up, Courtney Love?"
TOTAL WRECK - crazy-eyed hound is covered in cobwebs, has a vespiary on back, graffiti on side and savage thirst for boat fuel. Frankly, I'm in over my head. He's in room 115 at Motel 6, yours free. 555-2851
Yes, it's the perfect form for surviving a car crash. But it's also the perfect form for so much more, like surviving the trauma of reading any news headline in 2016.
Thirty games and a novel piece of hardware for sixty dollars? This is an insult to my honor.
Selling objects to the past, lighters, weed, etc. Pretty intriguing stuff.
Title of this one pretty much says it all. If it's what you're looking for, then uh, look no further
Zack Parsons, Steve "Malak" Sumner, and friends tackle bizarre role playing game products that make them wonder, "What the fuck!?" From the early days of Gygax to contemporary role playing games, none will be spared.

Location of Pokéathlon Dome in Johto.
|Pokémon world locations
The Pokéathlon Dome (Japanese: ポケスロンドーム Pokéthlon Dome) is a location in Johto, west of the National Park. It is the place where Pokéathlon competitions are held.
Several things related to the Pokéathlon are available here, both inside and outside of the building.
- 1 Outside
- 2 Inside
- 3 Layout
- 4 In the manga
- 5 Trivia
- 6 In other languages
Outside of the building, many Trainers can be seen with their Pokémon, practicing for the Pokéathlon's various competitions. A woman on the west side of the area will give away an Apriblender to those who have an Apricorn Box, and afterwards she will sell Aprijuice.
Aprijuice Stand
The Aprijuice Stand (Japanese: ボンドリンクショップ Bon Drink Shop) sells a variety of different pre-made Aprijuice which change on a daily basis. By default there are five different drinks that are sold from the three machines lined up at the Aprijuice Shop each reflecting one Pokéathlon Performance stat. When the player plays the Pokéathlon over wireless play, then the default drinks will be replaced with the drinks of the opposing player. The price of the drinks are determined on how famous the Trainers selling them are.

Vending machine
A vending machine is located in the northwest corner of the main Pokéathlon floor. This vending machine is unique as it allows the player to also purchase items with Athlete Points.
|Buy with money
|Buy with points
Athlete Shop
The Athlete Shop, located at the far right counter, allows for the points earned from competing in Pokéathlons to be traded in for various items, with each item only available to be bought once per day. The item listing changes on a day-to-day basis. Some items are only unlocked after the National Pokédex is received.
Data Card Shop
Data Cards can be purchased from the central reception desk located directly in front of the Pokéathlon entrance.
In the basement, there are four rooms where information about the player's Pokémon can be seen, most of which can only be accessed by doing certain achievements in the Pokéathlon.
Solidarity Room
In this room, the player can see his or her point records in every course, and which Pokémon team was used to obtain each record.
Having a score of at least 420 in any course will display a Collective trophy (in the form of a crown) next to that course's medal. A score of 450 or higher will display two Collective trophies.
Trust Room
Unlocked by earning all five course medals (it doesn't have to be with the same team).
In this room, the player can see all the medals obtained for each individual Pokémon species. A species who has all five medals is considered to be a Medalist Pokémon.
A Trust trophy is obtained by getting a certain number of Pokémon species to Medalist status. The player gets such a trophy upon reaching 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, and 200 different Medalist Pokémon, for a total of ten trophies.
Other displayables in this room will be shown by completing the following tasks:
- Dash 5,000 times (golden Running Shoes)
- Join the Pokéathlon 50 times (golden track suit)
- Switch 200 times (red flag)
Potential Room
Unlocked by having at least one Medalist Pokémon.
In this room, the player can see a top five list of scores in each event (including "default" ones not set by the player), and the Pokémon used to obtain the event. Any default ones are seen as achieved by the three Johto starters. Scores obtained while playing in Link mode can also be viewed here, though they are kept separately from the single-player scores and cannot be used to unlock the Friendship room, the Trainer Star, or Potential trophies. The player can also see how many times he or she has played each event in single-player or link mode.
The table below gives viewers the default first place records one needs to beat, as well as the mastery record that unlocks a Potential trophy for that event. In addition, getting the first place record on every event here will unlock a star on the Trainer Card. Note that the first place records must be beaten, not merely tied, in contrast to the mastery records.

Other displayables in this room will be shown by completing the following tasks:
- Win first on the Pokéathlon 100 times (golden Pokégear)
- Win first place on every Pokéathlon event 50 times (model Poké Ball with the engraving, "Stay on Top")
Friendship Room
Unlocked by beating all the preset first records seen in the Potential Room.
This room simply has a golden statue of the player, as well as statues of the last Pokémon team the player won the Pokéathlon with.
If the player checks their statue, they'll see their global Pokéathlon Score, as well as their global Pokéathlon Trophy count.
The global Pokéathlon score is calculated as the sum of the player's best final score in each of the five courses, the player's highest score for each of the ten individual events (after conversion to Athlete Points), and the total number of medals displayed in the box in the Trust room (so each Medalist species will add five to this total).
As the global Pokéathlon score increases past certain milestones, the player is awarded Friendship trophies. The tenth Friendship trophy is obtained at 4,500 points.

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
The Pokéathlon Dome was featured in the HeartGold & SoulSilver chapter of the Pokémon Adventures manga. Gold took part in all the Courses, and won in all of them, even surpassing the Elite Four in the Power Course. It was afterwards revealed that Gold was supposed to meet up with Lance at the Pokéathlon Dome in order to receive information about Arceus. Unfortunately, Lance was ambushed and defeated by Petrel en route, and only Lance's Dragonite made it to the Dome, where it started rampaging due to lacking its Trainer to give it orders. It was eventually stopped by Gold's Togebo.
Later on, Lance revealed that he had chosen the Pokéathlon Dome as the meeting place in order to show Arceus how hard humans and Pokémon can work together.
- The in-game map gives the impression that the Pokéathlon Dome is completely inland, despite the fact that both the overworld and the official map of Johto released for HeartGold and SoulSilver show that it is surrounded by water on 3 sides.
