Downtown Kicks Up Its Heels
Published: September 8, 1996
(Page 3 of 3)
On the plaza, Moran's, the drink ery, with its scads of outdoor tables, was full of young Wall Streeters, jabbering, flirting. It was a Thursday, head-start night for the weekend. A woman in her 20's in a silk blouse and a tight skirt sat at a table with three young men, smoking perhaps the fattest stogie I'd ever seen. Hoots of laughter were in the air; so was the hum of recreational wheels on pavement, and the occasional toot of a boat horn. The sun, a red, half-dollar size disk, was disappearing into New Jersey, and appropriate commentary was thoughtfully provided. In bronze lettering along the fence that rims the water are quotations from Frank O'Hara, extolling the city's busyness -- ''I can't even enjoy a blade of grass unless I know there's a subway handy, or a record store, or some other sign that people do not totally regret life.''
THE Hudson River Club is above Moran's; I entered from the outside entrance, on the plaza, rather than from inside the Financial Center. Its second-floor windows provide a glorious sunset view of the river, and for a while I sat at the bar, over the largest bowl of mixed nuts I've ever seen, watching the Statue of Liberty seem to wave in the distance.
Dinner there was a civilized meal -- reasonably delicious without being frou-frou -- a repast suitable for the contemplative setting. The yachts swayed in the boat basin. The river darkened. Night came down on lower Manhattan; the neighborhood quieted. Work would begin as usual in the morning.

Before departing on our journey, we created our Wanderlist (our version of a travel bucket list) and recently looked at it and noticed how many worthy-of-their-own-limelight experiences were on it.
For the discriminating traveler looking for something different that combines an international flair with rich history and natural beauty, the territory is a "hidden gem" among North American tourist destinations.
We all crave that sweet serendipity of being in the right place at the right time: When the Northern Lights are most likely to dance; when that sleepy scruff-bucket town transforms for its once-a-year fabulous fiesta; or, when a mass mob of whales gathers at the nearby reef.
Breathtaking vistas, natural wonders and fabulous people (so nice, we actually felt guilty at times!) combine to make the island of Newfoundland one of our favorite places on earth.
Canada is an amazing country for long road trips. In fact, there is so much to see that you kind of want to have your own car to drive around and explore.
With relaxed restrictions for American travelers to Cuba making headlines, our Deal Experts are champing at the bit to visit this Caribbean nation that's so close to the U.S., but has been out of reach for so long.
Food may not be what created Calgary, but it's quickly becoming a reason many tourists visit (and rave about) the city.
In Iceberg Alley, as the sea along the northern coast is called, vodka and beer are made with melted icebergs. Resourceful captains have created a cottage industry of harvesting the bergs, hauling them ashore, and selling the ancient, pristine water. They even use it to make wine.
The "Scott Pilgrim" movie showed a different side of Toronto: twenty-somethings in vintage clothes and neon hair, rocking out at indie concerts. On a ...
Owned and operated by Christopher and Nathaly Jones, it's a breeding and training facility for purebred Icelandic horses. In Canada, the Icelandic horse community remains small -- in the whole country there are only about 1,200 such horses.
As far as amazing places go, there's truly no place like home. After all, why fret about exorbitant airfare to far-flung locales when you can experience some of the world's most stunning sights right here in North America?
Since inspiration is the first step in any unforgettable journey, we've looked at recommendations from our community of travelers to find those far-flung cabins, huts, lodges, and tents where you can shack up far from the worries of the outside world.
It's the most colorful time of the year! Here in the northeast, we're surrounded by beautiful shades of orange, red, and yellow as leaf-peeping season kicks into full swing -- but you don't have to be in just one region to appreciate all the fall foliage.
There are times, after riding for 10 hours on a bike, that you find yourself in unusually deep thought. This reflective time is significant and matters. There are also times when everything seems to go wrong.
Hotel water parks have grown in popularity in recent years, allowing guests to enjoy all the thrills and entertainment of a water park without leaving the comfort of their hotel. Here are 10 of the most fantastic water slides onsite.
What would an America under tyrannical Canadian rule look like? More polite? Cheaper health care? Would we all have to call macaroni and cheese "Kraft dinner"? The best way to envision this nightmarish alternate-universe dystopia is to peek in on the quiet town of Hyder, Alaska.

I've been using the wonderful NextGen Gallery plug in for a really long time and I totally love it. I'm re-designing my website and of course, nextgen is the first plugin I installed.
Except this time, I'd like to have different pagination options on different pages. Like, for example, I've got rows of 6 thumbnails on my kids photography pages, but I'd like rows of 12 thumbnails on my weddings photography pages. Since the "number of columns" option seems to be defined in the plugin's "Options" and not in a template, I have no idea how to apply different settings to different sets of pages.
Any thoughts? I hope it's possible!
Many thanks for your help !

This aerial acrobatic performance unfolded in front of our group of Audubon bird watchers. Our leader Bob Lee explained that most likely the parent bald eagle stopped providing food for his fledgling and junior tried to sneak and "ambush" to no avail. It's time to grow up and hunt your own food.

Huckelberry picking with a bear
During my leisure stroll alone at Johns Lake trail I came to a huckleberry patch. Reaching into the bush and looking for the perfect, my first of the season hucks I heard the sound of rustling branches. Sure enough I wasn't the only one enjoying the berries. The bear was bit close for my comfort so I backed off on the trail and tried to stay calm despite my pounding heart . We both kept an eye on each other at safe distances. I had plenty of time to get my camera and snap these pics. Luckily he didn't like the sound of the clicking shutter, crossed the trail, disappearing into the brush.

Having been a Student at a West Bank Palestinian university, I have seen first hand the tactics used by the occupation forces to keep the people down. Rolling over a girl standing infront of the house is one more tactic used. Of course occupation forces have done the same with people INSIDE the houses. Occupation is ugly business, it's not for the faint of heart. People will die under occupations. I have not seen the play, I lived it.
I had to talk my friend out of putting a little toy bulldozer at the death shrine in the TESC library building the year this happend. Also her mother would not shut the hell up at graduation very annoying.
Brendan, thanks for the Corrie Wikipedia entry.
I never heard the song by Billy Bragg (it's listed as mp3 at the bottom of the page). His words have been 'manipulating' me for the last 20 years.
#2: Um....Rachel Corrie's mother "would not shut the hell up" at graduation? Is that who you mean? And...you found that very annoying?
Yeah, grieving parents. What a pain in the ass. Yadda yadda yadda. Is she still talking?
Wow. Classy.
If the parents are grieving, what are they doing yapping away at a college graduation?
But I agree with Brendan. This was something Corrie was quite apparently passionate about, one of those things that sets a person apart from the rest of the herd. Touching on her ordinariness, her banality certainly could be/should be incorporated, but the show should reach to the heart of what she died for. She didn't die for Pat Benatar and pumpkin patches. I can only imagine she'd want to throw this issue into the spotlight, and not hide it in the shadows.
My feeling, also having read but not seen the play, is that the play itself is not equipped to make a cohesive political statement about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, and I think any attempt to stage it as one is doomed to fail. The play is strongest as a portrait of a young woman trying to find a way to cope with an unjust world, as we all have to learn to do as we become adults. I think that's what Rickman and Viner are getting at. Corrie was an idealist and arguably naive, but what she definitely was not at age 23 was an expert or a scholar. If somebody wanted to make an anti-Israeli play, there are much more convincing voices than hers.
"On the night of Corrie's death, nine Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip, among them a four-year-old girl and a man aged 90. A total of 220 people have died in Rafah since the beginning of the intifada. Palestinians know the death of one American receives more attention than the killing of hundreds of Muslims."
My personal favorite quote about the dead girl.
I think Lenin called them "useful idiots."
It's not surprising the show was cancelled in New York and Toronto. It would never had seen the light of day if it were a more blatant 'commentary on Israel or Palestine.'
NBC is getting grief over a similiarly themed Law & Order.
#4 I suppose she could have been grieving but honestly I like the rest of the people there tuned out to her after 20 minutes. Seemed like she was just ranting to me.
i have to admit my heart skipped a beat when i saw the headline...i was hoping the Rep was doing the musical version of 'Carrie'...
i imagine a balanced portrayal of Corrie would end up looking somewhat like Werner Herzog's "Grizzly Man:" A person with an obsession and huge brass balls commits their life to something, which, however foolhardy, earns them notoriety and gives their life meaning. Whether or not their lives were lived to the fullest or foolishly wasted is left to the viewer to decide.
it would be nice for some people to acknowledge that it is possible to make a play or a movie without expressly endorsing the actions of the protagonist.
I thought it was a good episode of Law & Order: CI
Had Rachel Corrie not gone to Evergreen I wouldn't remember her name (I went there). It is sad that Rachel died for what she believed, but Israelis and Palestinians have been killing each other since before. My sympathy is equally shared with the innocent Palestinians who are killed by Israeli tanks as I am with innocent Israeli's who are killed by suicide bombers. It's hard for me to find a "good guy" in this war.
Are they still holding the Rachel Corrie Memorial Pancake Breakfast?
Codes, I was there for my sister's graduation, and sure, she was not a polished public speaker, but your idea of her speech has to be limited to a small number of assholes.
The audience was typically full of the fourteen hippies that tend to live with each Evergreen grad, for sure, but Rachel's mom (no matter how stupid you think not ceding your ground when a bulldozer begins to crush your toes is) spoke from the heart in a way that moved everybody, socialist vegans and their meat-eating family members alike. If you were bored or annoyed, you were absolutely in the minority.
Anyway, you're a dick.

Wrong strat again and we keep on coming back. Fumigate.
if you're gonna do something like this, you have to do it VERY VERY well...
here, as in the other two, you almost just put the colors you wanted, where you wanted, man!!
you should've respected the borderlines, even create borderlines where you needed them, and THEN paint the whole thing. THAT would've been some art direction and some really hard work.
that's why the 3 of them are so forced, they're not well done.
besides the concept is not a strong one. it's the kind of thing you read and you ask "so?..."

text: Buccaneers Trade CB Eric Wright To 49ers After DUI Facebook Twitter Like Share Email Will Jul 19, 2013 Follow Will Following The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have traded veteran CB Eric Wright to the San Francisco 49ers after he was charged with DUI last week. The Bucs will reportedly get a conditional draft pick in 2014 in exchange for Wright. For the 49ers, they will receive a player in Wright that will compete with the likes of Nnamdi Asomugha, Carlos Rogers, Tarrell Brown, Chris Culliver, and Perrish Cox for a roster spot. From an analytic perspective, you have to wonder why the 49ers would make this move given their depth already at the position. They must think that Wright can come in and help immediately despite his off field issues, whether it be on special teams, or as a defensive stop gap if an injury were to occur to one of their starters.For Tampa Bay, the team clearly feels that rookie Johnthan Banks is ready for primetime. If they didn't, they would have eased him into the league while keeping Wright as the number two cornerback. This would have allowed Banks to better learn the NFL game. Nonetheless, Banks will now presumably be the number two cornerback behind Darrelle Revis in 2013. Making this move leaves the Bucs with Darrelle Revis, Johnthan Banks, Branden Smith, Rashaan Melvin, Myron Lewis, Leonard Johnson, Danny Gorrer, Anthony Gaitor, Deveron Carr, and Michael Adams on their roster at the CB position. Only time will tell how this move will play out, but, it would seem on paper that the Buccaneers are taking a risk having their rookie CB start in 2013. 2014 49ers Asomugha Banks Bay Brown Buccaneers Carlos CB Cox Darrelle draft Eric Francisco Johnthan NFL Nnamdi Perrish pick Revis Rogers rookie San Tampa Tarrell Trade Wright Leave a Comment Likes & Reblogs Be the first to Like or Reblog this post

Jasper Reports 3.0 with Advanced Excel Formula Handling
Version 3.0.0 of Jasper Reports, a free Java report generating library with advanced export functionality has just been released.
New properties, which can be defined for each element in the generated report, add more flexibility. Element properties can also be specified as expressions that are evaluated on generating the documents.
The major innovations relate to exporting to Microsoft's Excel format, XLS: developers can specify cell formulas in the "net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.formula" property; the formulas can either be evaluated or inserted into the Excel document as is. The program now has more elegant page break handling thanks to the new "net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.break.before.row" and "net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.break.after.row" properties.
On top of this, there is an experimental export feature to Microsoft's Excel XMLSS format, which can output large documents as a stream. More changes are listed in the Changelog.
Jasper Reports is licensed under the LGPL. The current 3.0.0 version is available for downloading as a source code or Jar archive on the project website.
Exporting reports from JasperReports in Excel, Word and PowerPoint formatsVery informative. But Aspose is going to introduce "Aspose.Cells for JasperReports" in near future to convert reports from JasperReports in Excel format. Currently, Aspose enables JasperReports developers to export their reports in PowerPoint (PPT, PPS) and Word document (DOC, DOCX, HTML and TXT) formats. I hope this reference URL will help http://www.aspose.com/categ...reports-exporters/default.aspx

Hi there.
I want to change my blog from WordPress.com to WordPress.org. My domain is now registered and hosted by DreamHost. I installed the WordPress software with the One-click installation, and got a message saying it was a success. However, when I go to the admin part of my site it is exactly the same as before- it's still a wordpress.com blog, with none of the features of WordPress.org. Am I missing something?! Do I have to do something after installing to complete it? Any help greatly appreciated! :)

HOUSTON (March 28, 2013)--Nearly all of Texas is in drought, threatening severe spring and summer water restrictions in some parts of the state and another record-setting dry spell if rains don't materialize.
The weekly U.S. Drought Monitor released Thursday shows more than 98 percent of the state in some abnormally dry condition.
Nearly 11 percent of Texas is in "exceptional" drought, the most severe level of drought according to the analysis released by the National Drought Mitigation Center in Lincoln, Neb.
Last week the number was less than 10 percent.
State climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon says the situation is only slightly better than it was six months into the drought of 2011, the worst one-year drought in Texas' history.
He said the Edwards Aquifer, San Antonio's primary water source, is reaching historically low levels.
Residents could face the severest restrictions by summer.

Good overview of the issues and techniques
Nicholas Roeder
on July 23, 2005
Format: Paperback
If you are looking for a broad overview of how to develop applications that use databases (typically relational DBs), then this is a great start. Many different topics are covered, including cultural and personal issues in teams, which are very important. The chapter on mapping objects to relational databases was probably the best, and I also found the database refactoring advice useful.
If you are also looking for depth of coverage of the above topics, you will have to look elsewhere, perhaps after reading this book to get a very high-level treatment of the topics. I found myself thinking, "This is great. I agree with this advice. Now what do I do?"
The book doesn't come down to a low enough level to really put you on solid ground, but if what you want is wide coverage of all of the elements that go into developing database-based applications, this is a well-written book to begin with.

Reconciles Relational and OO DB
Mike Tarrani
on July 7, 2004
Format: Paperback
I fully agree with the other reviewers who have given detailed and glowing descriptions of this book and why it is an important work that addresses the real challenges of developing to a relational model in OO environments. Agile techniques are also interwoven into this book, but it is in overcoming the relational-OO challenges that I found this book to be most valuable.
The first part of the book, "Foundational Skills and Knowledge", covers the challenges and how to meet them with eight excellent chapters that truly give the foundational knowledge. The next part, "Evolutionary Database Development", is comprised of seven chapters that introduce Agile techniques as they relate to DB development. Among the two strongest chapters in this part of the book are the ones covering DB refactoring and mapping objects to relational databases. This material, to me, clarified a lot of issues I had before reading this book. Part 3 is more focused on development techniques, with excellent information about concurrency control, access controls and related topics. The final part of the book is specific to general Agile implementation. You need not embrace Agile methods to learn an enormous amount from this book.
If you want to know more about this book's contents you will find a great deal of information on the author's Agile Data web site (paste the ASIN, B0000A3527, into the search box at the top of this page, select All Products and click GO). I also recommend Clifton Nock's "Data Access Patterns: Database Interactions in Object-Oriented Applications" (ISBN 0131401572), which augments this book in many respects.

Plenty of dog-eared pages...
Amazon Customer
on February 2, 2004
Format: Paperback
"Agile Database Techniques" is aptly subtitled "Effective Strategies for the Agile Software Developer". Take special note of the word "strategies", because what you will not find within is pages of code and implementation details. This is not a bad thing as there is so much ground to cover that getting caught up in the low-level details of how to implement a particular strategy in language (add yours here) would have limited the scope of the book. Instead, what you will find is a detailed set of skills and development methodologies required by the developer who finds him or herself immersed in the details of modeling, implementing, and/or refactoring the database schema for their current application.
Should you buy this book? Well, try answering the following questions:
- Could you easily create a physical data model of your schema?
- Can you explain the difference between first and third normal form?
- What about first and third object normalization forms?
- Can you list the challenges in mapping an object model to a data model?
Did you answer honestly? Because these are just some of the items covered in Part One of the book and unless you said yes to all of the above, you will walk away with plenty of ideas for improving your development after a single reading. This is the core reason I would recommend this book. It is full of ideas that you might never have thought to include in your development practices, and probably some that you had thought about but were not sure what the best approach might be.
My complaint with "Agile Database Techniques" is that it could use another iteration. In the introduction, the author states "When I first started writing this book, I intended its focus to be on the agile data method... Because I was taking an iterative and incremental approach to the development of the book, I quickly realized that the real value lay in detailed development techniques instead of yet another methodology." While I can agree with and embrace the merits of applying agility to my development practices, I think there is an overabundance of methodology content in the book that only clouds its real value.
In summary, I think this is one of those books that will sit on my shelf for some time to come as a great reference for how to approach any number of application and database development related items.

Good material, but too fragmented for my taste
Lasse Koskela
on January 23, 2004
Format: Paperback
Agile Database Techniques is a brilliant book. Already after reading the first chapter I felt like I had been run over by a truck, wondering why I haven't paid more attention to these issues before. Yet, it also has its flaws which I will go into further down.
Ambler starts laying out the groundwork for the second part of the book by introducing his Agile Data method, UML and data modeling. He also gives a very useful jump-start tutorial on data and class normalization and discusses the infamous object-relational impedance mismatch. Worth noting is that in each chapter (throughout the book) Ambler makes sure that the reader understands how the subjects relate to the role of an agile DBA and what should he be looking out for. The subjects in part one were introduced so well that I more than once thought, "I've never seen such a well-balanced and informative tutorial."
The second part of the book focuses a bit on how evolutionary software development is the reality and how techniques such as Agile Model-Driven Development and TDD can assist in surviving in this climate. The chapter on database refactoring is intriguing and the more comprehensive list of database refactorings, found in the appendices, is something I'll definitely Xerox and keep with me in my traveling tool bag. The second part also covers database encapsulation strategies and approaches to mapping objects to relational databases which, again, is a delightfully comprehensive tutorial, as well as touching on the topic of performance tuning.
The third part is a seemingly random collection of subjects such as finding objects in a relational database, referential integrity, concurrency, security, reports and XML with databases. The text is again of high quality and provides an entertaining walk through the woods, but I feel that these chapters had very little to contribute to the subject of the book. This disconnect is made even more clear when Ambler finishes with a 10-page guide on how to become agile and to introduce agility into the organization.
After reading the book, I feel confused. On the other hand, this book is full of little islands of useful insights that I wouldn't think twice recommending for others to read. On the other, the book as a whole is very fragmented and pretty far from what the book's title might suggest. If you pick up the book with an open mind like I did, you'll gain plenty. Otherwise, you'll probably be disappointed to find out that one half of the book probably talks about something you weren't expecting based on the title. After a long struggle, I'm giving this book "only" fours stars despite that it contains some very, very high quality material.

A book for all seasons--and programmers and DBAs
Gary K. Evans
on December 16, 2003
Format: Paperback
Scott Ambler is uniquely qualified to write this book. He started his software life as a data modeler, and is now an industry thought-leader in agile, object-oriented software development practices. He wrote Agile Database Techniques to address a single issue that he is obviously passionate about: is it possible for data professionals to develop their data in an evolutionary way? Ambler answers this question with a resounding "yes"! And his book is a manifesto on how the data and object communities can lay down their weapons and join forces to create better software.
Part One addresses the basics of agile development, database concepts and data normalization, object concepts and object normalization ¯- which may be a new concept to some readers. If you are not a data person, you will get a good introduction to the data world-view. If you are not an object person, you will gain insight into why object people see the world from a behavioral view, not the data-centric view. What I found appealing was Ambler's willingness to leave out all the fluff and deliver just enough detail to equip us to move to the next part of his presentation: Evolutionary Database Development.
This second part of the book covers *a lot* of ground. After a well-crafted appeal for flexibility as a major success factor in software development, Ambler introduces the principles and practices of his own "Agile Model-Driven Development" approach, then a concise discussion of Test-Driven Development, also known as "test-first programming". This is a very brief chapter, and I wish Ambler had developed these concepts a bit more, but he has much bigger fish to fry in this book. His discussion of the need for, and practices of, database refactoring will be provocative for many data people. In my own consulting experience the "rot" or "smell" of database entropy is everywhere. The rigor of the original data models is lost under the pressure of schedule, or the inertia of inexperienced persons not taking the time to think about the downstream effects of reusing a table column for an obscure and transient purpose...which soon becomes permanent. The most significant chapter in the second part discusses mapping objects to relational databases. Ambler has written often and extensively about the object-relational "impedance mismatch", and this chapter offers the programmer and DBA much to think about.
A theme that runs throughout the entire book is what Ambler calls the "role of the agile DBA". These brief discussions, almost sidebars in their presentation, are aimed squarely at DBAs working on agile, OO projects. Most OO developers will kill for a DBA who actually supports the software effort rather than being an institutionalized impediment. Ambler's tips to the "agile DBA" are worth the price of the book, IMHO.
Part 3 is a collage of database concepts that are essential for software developers to understand if they are to be successful as a programming and data team. The topics include referential integrity, access control, concurrency issues and control, transactions and their ACID properties, with a brief discussion of both database transactions and object transactions -- and they are not the same. Very important stuff, and it is my experience that many application programmers have only the barest understanding of these critical technical issues--especially data-specific issues such as two-phase commits. It's all here.
The last part of the book reflects the beginning: how can you become agile, and how can you bring agility into your organization? Ahh, this is going to be hard for some people, and some companies. But it can be done, if approached patiently, with sensitivity for your existing corporate culture. And the reality of the cultural mismatch is something Ambler addresses throughout this book. This is why he calls the agile DBA a "peacemaker". This is why he calls upon us to be "generalizing specialists", so we can see that there is more to software than objects, and certainly more than data alone.

If this was a novel they'd be bidding for the movie rights
A customer
on October 21, 2003
Format: Paperback
This is the best book I've bought in years. It starts with an overview of agile software development, something that every single IT professional needs to understand these days. It also overviews basic skills such as data modeling, object modeling, and normalization. Ambler is absolutely dead on with this material: everyone needs to understand the basics of both object development and database development if they're going to get the job done. I'm really surprised how few object and data books actually deal with these basics, they always seem to focus on only one part of the overall picture. Why hasn't someone written just this section before?????
More importantly the book has chapters on agile model driven development and test driven development, two topics that are critical to your success as an agile programmer. Anyone doing XP needs to be up to speed on both these techniques. in particular TDD but just as importantly AMDD.
A really cool chapter talks about database refactoring, which is basically refactoring for relational databases. Anyone who wants to be an effective DBA needs to learn this stuff. There's also an appendix with a catalog of DB refactorings. This material alone is worth the price of the book.
I didn't think that the chapters on basic programming issues such as concurrency control, referential integrity, database access, and reporting would be of interest. Man was I wrong. Ambler takes what I thought were dry subjects and shows how many implementation choices you actually have. I can't remember how many arguments I've gotten into with DBAs, or programmers, who thought there was only one way to do these things. Most importantly he discusses the tradeoffs of each strategy and tells you when they work best. If you're designing a new application this material is critical.
If you're struggling to find ways for programmers and DBAs to work together effectively you really need this book. It shows how to overcome the "people impedance mismatch" that you see in most companies. DBAs need to work in agile ways, and this book tells how to do exactly this.

A 'Madden' movie? Yes, please
This is your Pregame Flyover for Week 16 of the NFL season, when many games take on a playoff atmosphere. The biggest matchup has to be Green Bay versus New York, in which we get to witness whether Tom Coughlin is a master motivator or simply a meanie who channeled Craig T. Nelson in "All the Right Moves" by decimating the confidence of his repentant rookie punter. "Come on, Dodge. Let's hear a good cry, all right." But before we get to the full schedule of games -- and discuss what other matchups are probably worth watching, which games are of questionable worth, which are of doubtful worth and which is being played on Christmas -- we discuss ...
A movie about the Madden curse? Yes, please.
Golf has its iconic comedy film ("Caddyshack") and so does hockey ("Slap Shot"). Baseball has several by our reckoning, including "Major League" and "The Bad News Bears." But football, the most popular sport in America, is woefully lacking in iconic send-ups. Sure, "The Longest Yard" is funny (the first one, that is) and so is "The Waterboy." But is either of them quoted with the same frequency as the aforementioned classics? No. Not even close. Given that, when we see that people are considering the possibility of making a movie about the so-called Madden curse, we can easily overlook the fact that curses are for soft-minded people (usually from Boston or Chicago) and look at the potential for comedic gold. After all, if inane plot elements were enough to kill the hilarity of a movie, you think anyone would have made a golf movie featuring a dancing gopher?
According to The Wrap, "Electronic Arts is developing 'Madden Curse,' a sports comedy that incorporates the infamous jinx, believed to strike NFL players who appear on the cover of EA's popular 'Madden' video game with injury or poor performance. The story will follow a former Madden video game champion who is forced out of retirement just as he finds himself on the corner of the game's cover -- and subject to the curse."
A former video game champion who is forced out of retirement? OK, who came to mind immediately? For me, it was Will Ferrell, which doesn't make him the best choice; he was simply the person who popped into my head first, thanks no doubt to his history in sports comedies. But Ferrell might be too old for the role. Moreover, his comedic window may have closed, i.e., people are kind of sick of him. Given that, what about Aziz Ansari? He's young and relatively unknown by the masses, yet still has a lot of fans. Tell me his Randy character (known best from "Funny People" with Adam Sandler) couldn't morph easily into a smack-talking gamer. Yup, take Randy -- who used to get all the ladies because of his game-playing skills (it's Randy, mind you) -- put a curse on him and let him drop one-liners that Madden players will be quoting for years. If you sprinkle in some arcane drug references, some gratuitous sex, some funny cameos from former Madden cover boys such as Ray Lewis and Daunte Culpepper and, well, you've got yourself a cult classic. Then again, if you make some egregious errors in casting and writing, you could inadvertently create a contemporary version of "The Wizard" with Fred Savage. But hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Ryan Leaf will pen, not pencil, three books
Ryan Leaf, the biggest bust in NFL history until JaMarcus Russell had his countenance committed to marbled ham, has signed a deal to write one two three books. The works will be published by Crimson Oak Publishing, a Pullman, Wash.-based firm that specializes in books about "hope, possibility and determination." The first book will focus on Leaf's life, the second on his football career, and the third on his addiction to painkillers. Brett Favre is no doubt intrigued by this development, as a 297-book series with Crimson Oak Publishing now seems feasible.
The Falcons on the bus in the Play 60 commercial
Oddly enough, this commercial has not yet worn out its welcome. I think we can attribute that to the priceless cameo from Falcons owner Arthur Blank, who tries to bob his head just like his players and coaches, feigning rhythm, then looks around sheepishly like someone who's just gotten busted while singing in his car. Never fails to get me.
Probable, Questionable, Doubtful and Out
Just as the NFL puts out an injury report on the likelihood that certain players will suit up each week (listing them as probable, questionable, doubtful or out), we put out a viewing report on the likelihood that games will be worth watching. Because let's face it, you can't watch them all.
"Probable" Games of the Week (75 percent chance these games will be worth watching): New York Jets at Chicago; San Francisco at St. Louis; New York Giants at Green Bay; New Orleans at Atlanta.
Spotlight probably: New York Giants at Green Bay Packers.
Eli manning up. After the Giants' memorable implosion against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Giants' soft-spoken, childlike quarterback asked head coach Tom Coughlin if he could call a players-only meeting. With Coughlin out of the room, Manning reportedly told players to forget about the Eagles game and to focus on what still needed to be accomplished to make their season successful. He also invited everyone to his parents' house to watch the Santa Tracker on Christmas Eve.
If the playoffs started today: The Giants would face the Eagles in the divisional round, and New York hasn't beaten Philadelphia in its past six tries. Is such a streak important? Not really. The Eagles haven't won a Super Bowl in their last 44 tries.
All the makings of a playoff game. If Green Bay wins its last two games, they're in the playoffs. If the Giants win this game, they're in. If the Giants lose another 21-point lead with eight minutes left, Tom Coughlin will be back playing the washboard (far left here) in Emmett Otter's jug band.
Aaron Rodgers learned at someone else's knee. The Packers' starting quarterback, who missed last week's game versus the Patriots with a concussion, was cleared to play this week -- news that was announced Tuesday, more than half a week before the game. Nothing like taking the drama out of it, Aaron. A certain quarterback who shall remain nameless would have milked that cow for a few more news cycles.
"Questionable" Games of the Week (50 percent chance these games will be worth watching): New England at Buffalo; Washington at Jacksonville; Tennessee at Kansas City; Indianapolis at Oakland; Minnesota at Philadelphia.
Spotlight questionable: Indianapolis Colts at Oakland Raiders.
This will obviously be a very emotional game for: Jeff George, former quarterback of both teams.
Another game with a playoff atmosphere. If the Colts win out, they'll win the AFC South. If the Raiders win out, they still have a shot to win the AFC West. Consequently, this game in Oakland will definitely have a playoff atmosphere. Young Raiders fans should ask their elders (those who remember 2002 and earlier) how to act in such environments.
A matchup of extremes: The Raiders are second in the league in rushing, while the Colts are first in the league in passing and last in the league in rushing. But which team is first in the heart of Jeff George? That might be the deciding factor.
Coach of the Year candidates. Colts president Bill Polian doesn't get to vote for Coach of the Year, but he says he'd throw his vote to (surprise) Colts head coach Jim Caldwell. It's a nice gesture for Polian to show public support for his head coach, who has had to deal with an NFL-high 17 players being placed on injured reserve. But come on, could you ever envision a team executive saying, "No, my coach does not deserve to be considered for NFL Coach of the Year"? Ya know, besides Al Davis?
"Doubtful" Games of the Week (25 percent chance these games will be worth watching): Detroit at Miami; Baltimore at Cleveland; San Diego at Cincinnati; Houston at Denver; Seattle at Tampa Bay.
Spotlight doubtful: San Diego Chargers at Cincinnati Bengals.
Streaks to keep. In order for San Diego to win its fifth straight AFC West title, the Chargers (8-6) need to win their next two games (Denver next week) and Kansas City has to lose once. In order for the Bengals to finish with three wins or more for the eighth straight year, they don't have to do anything for the rest of the year and probably won't.
Will the Chargers franchise Jackson? The NFL franchise tag might be the biggest paradox in sports. You tag a player to designate that he's essential to your team, guarantee that he'll be paid at minimum the average of the top five players at his position for one year, and this invariably ticks off the player to no end. They, of course, want to shop around for a long-term contract with more guaranteed money. That's what Vincent Jackson wants to do; that's why he sat out more than half this season trying to convince the Chargers to give him a long-term deal. But San Diego has been deterred by his off-the-field record (including two DUIs) and isn't prepared to commit to him long-term. Instead ESPN's Adam Schefter said they might just "franchise" him for 2011. There's something quite beautiful and broken about this relationship. If Gabriel Byrne returns for another season of "In Treatment," they should devote one of the plot lines to characters based on Jackson and Chargers general manager A.J. Smith, i.e., "Lord of No Rings."
Two games left to defend his crown. Marvin Lewis has the San Diego and Baltimore games to prove he's as good a coach this season as last season, when he won the 2009 NFL Coach of the Year award.
Flexed out. This game was initially scheduled for Sunday night, but NBC flexed it out in favor of the Eagles and Vikings and one last shot to see Brett Favre get pummeled on national television.
"Out" Games of the Week (100 percent chance this game will be watched by someone, but hopefully not by you): Dallas at Arizona.
Spotlight out: Dallas Cowboys at Arizona Cardinals.
A great game (if this were last Christmas). Last season, before Kurt Warner took his twinkle toes into retirement and left the Cardinals as a stinking carapace, this would have been a phenomenal Christmas Day matchup. It would have featured star power at quarterback (Warner and Tony Romo), a plethora of game-changers for the fantasy playoffs (including both quarterbacks, Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin for the Cardinals, Marion Barber and Jason Witten for the Cowboys) and two teams with big postseason aspirations. Fast forward one year and we get a Christmas night game that will primarily be interesting to people who have Fitzgerald and Witten on their fantasy rosters -- and that's about it. Both of these teams are out of the playoffs, and fans attending the game won't even be able to watch it on Dallas' big overhead video screen -- because the game's in Arizona. Congratulations, Kurt Warner, you helped ruin everyone's Christmas. I hope you're happy.
Jason Garrett is quite the interim. In his six games as head coach of the Cowboys, Dallas is 4-2 and has scored 33, 35, 27, 38, 27 and 33 points. Those figures look impressive on a resume, which of course Garrett will be revising this offseason when Jerry Jones replaces him as head coach. Jones, it's widely known, distrusts redheads like Garrett and will replace him with a non-ginger at the earliest opportunity.

Flyers sign Zherdev - 07-09-10
This move was in the works for a few days but finally became official.
The Flyers signed former Rangers and Blue Jackets forward Nikolai Zherdev to a one-year contract worth $2 million.
Zherdev, 25, played for Atlant-Moscow of the KHL last season. In 52 games, he scored 39 points (13 goals, 26 assists).
The fourth overall pick of the 2003 draft by Columbus, Zherdev, 6-foot-2, 203, last played in the NHL in 2008-09 when he appeared in 82 games for the Rangers and recorded 58 points (23 goals, 35 assists).
EN Says: Just an awful move.
The Flyers essentially have no salary cap space left. Yet, instead of addressing their weakest position - goaltending - they go an add a top-six winger capable of scoring 20 goals despite the fact they were among the top ten teams in the NHL last season in goals scored.
Philadelphia got lucky with its goaltending last season. Ray Emery was brought off the scrap heap to be the team's starter and washed out due to injuries. Michael Leighton was claimed off waivers and got hot. Leighton and Boucher combined to lead the Flyers on a completely improbable playoff run before Leighton finally came back to earth and flopped badly in the Stanley Cup final against the Blackhawks.
The Flyers have not had an elite goaltender since Ron Hextall's first run with the team in the late 1980s. Since then, the Flyers have tried to convince themselves the likes of Ken Wregget, Tommy Soderstrom, Dominic Roussel, Hextall (version 2.0), Garth Snow, Sean Burke, an old, wash-ed up John Vanbiesbrouck, Boucher (version 1.0), Roman Cechmanek, Robert Esche, Antero Niittymaki, Martin Biron, Emery, Leighton and Boucher (version 2.0) were capable of leading the team to its first Stanley Cup since 1975.
What makes the move even more confusing is the immense baggage Zherdev brings. His selfish attitude caused him to be chased out of Columbus and New York. Why would the Flyers, never a team short on distractions to begin with, bring in a toxic element like Zherdev?
There's no question Zherdev is a very elite talent, especially in terms of pure scoring ability, but there's plenty of holes of his game, expecially defensively.
This is a signing which just doesn't makes sense on so many levels.

Acquisitions in a Patent Contest Model with Large and Small Firms
Big companies and small innovation factories possess different advantages in a patent contest. While large firms typically have a better access to product markets, small firms often have a superior R&D efficiency. In this paper I model a patent contest with asymmetric firms. In a pre-contest acquisition game large firms bid sequentially for small firms to combine respective advantages. Sequential bidding allows the first large firm to wait strategically and let the other firm acquire. For low efficiencies this leads to an asymmetric market structure even though the initial situation is symmetric. Furthermore, acquisitions increase the chances for a successful innovation.

It is recommended that functions in the where clause should not be used. But for the following query, how do I avoid that?
SELECT empID from EmployeeTable

Yes, this example is overly simplified, but I am talking about joining different tables and have no control over casing of the data. I just need to write it where it is not case sensitive.
Edit: I actually need solutions for both Oracle and SQL Server.
