Kane, Toews Named Calder Finalists
by Dan Rosen / Chicago BlackhawksChicago's Patrick Kane lead all NHL Rookies in points, power play goals and power play points during the regular season. |
Chances are, this season's voting for the award among the members of the Professional Hockey Writer's Association will be a bit closer, because there really is no clear-cut winner among the candidates from the NHL's impressive 2008 rookie class.
The Chicago Blackhawks' sensational pair of Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews is joined by Washington Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom, who played pivot for Ovechkin for most of the season, as the trio of finalists up for this season's Calder Trophy.
Nobody should be surprised any of these three candidates have reached this point of their career. They were all top-level draft picks in recent years.
Kane, who began this season as an 18-year-old, was the No. 1 overall pick in last June's NHL Entry Draft. Toews, who turns 20 next week, and Backstrom, who already is 20, were the third and fourth overall picks, respectively, in 2006.
Let's break them down further:
Patrick Kane
Kane quickly became the new, young, fresh face of the Chicago Blackhawks this season with his impressive start. He had five goals and 11 points in October, giving him 16 points in his first 12 NHL games.
The entire hockey world was talking about the No. 1 pick after that outburst. Blackhawks coach Denis Savard was already calling Kane the team's best player.
He kept it up for 82 games.
Kane, who stands only 5-foot-10 and weighs just 185 pounds, finished his first season with 72 points, the most among all rookies. He had 21 goals and 51 assists while playing 18:21 per game as the right wing on the Hawks' top line.
He finished with seven power-play goals while averaging roughly four minutes per game on the top power-play unit. He also had four game-winning goals, including one in overtime. Kane also led all rookies with a League-best seven shootout goals -- in only nine attempts, for a ridiculous 77.8 percent success rate.
"I try to go out there and do the same things he does and it doesn't work," Toews said of Kane earlier this season. "I don't understand how he does it."
Jonathan Toews
If Toews can't do the same things Kane can, it likely works the other way, too.
Toews may be the best all-around player among the League's current crop of rookies because of his two-way ability and diligent approach to crashing the corners for loose pucks and standing in harm's way in front of the net for ugly goals.
If Kane is the skillful, almost artful Chicago rookie, then Toews is the gritty one.
However, Toews certainly has some moves of his own, evident in the remarkable goal he scored against Colorado earlier this season that quickly became a YouTube phenomenon.
He sliced and diced through three Avalanche players -- two defensemen and a backchecker -- leaving each flat-footed. He then faked out goalie Jose Theodore and slid the puck inside the left post with his forehand.
"He's relentless at both ends of the ice," Chicago GM Dale Tallon told NHL.com. "He's schooled defensively, and that sometimes overshadows his offense, which he has plenty of."
Toews, who at times wore the 'A' on his jersey for alternate captain, led all rookies with 24 goals, and he did it in just 64 games due to a knee injury he suffered on New Year's Day. He finished with 54 points, which was tied for third among rookies with Phoenix Coyotes winger Peter Mueller. He also had a plus-11 rating and won better than 53 percent of his faceoffs (509 of 956).
"I have to gear myself up to work hard and battle where it's almost instinct for him that he's going to battle every shift," Kane said. "When you put the work ethic with the talent he has, he's fun to play with."
Nicklas Backstrom
The Super Swede had a rough start to his rookie campaign as he was moved from center to left wing in order to play with fellow countryman Michael Nylander, who was serving as something of a big brother to Backstrom.
However, when coach Bruce Boudreau took over for Glen Hanlon after Thanksgiving, he moved Backstrom back to his more natural position and Backstrom quickly became the pivot for Alexander Ovechkin and a Calder candidate.
Backstrom led all rookies with 55 assists and added 14 goals to finish second behind Kane among his classmates with 69 points.
For a first-year guy to step up in the pressure situations to do what he has done, he should be given way more serious consideration than some people are giving him. - Washington coach, Bruce Boudreau on Nicklas Backstrom
As a result of playing with Ovechkin, the Hart Trophy favorite who scored 65 goals, Backstrom led all rookie forwards with an average ice time of 18:59 per game. His plus-13 rating was tied for third among rookies."We talk about how great Alex is and there is no doubt he is in the top couple of players on the planet, but lately I'm reading and hearing a lot of stuff saying it's negating Nicky's shot at Rookie of the Year because he is playing with Alex," Boudreau said before the playoffs began. "I sort of go to the opposite end. There are not too many first-year players playing on the No. 1 line, the kind of minutes he is, with the kind of plus-minus (he has) and helping Alex be the player he's been.
"For a first-year guy to step up in the pressure situations to do what he has done, he should be given way more serious consideration than some people are giving him."
He is getting it now, but so too are Kane and Toews.
You see, there really is no clear-cut favorite in this race.

South Sudan has been in turmoil since political conflict erupted in 2013, just two years after the country gained its independence in 2011. Now, 1 in 3 people are displaced and millions are at risk of starvation. The ongoing conflict has thrown the country into chaos and devastated the economy and food supply.

As forces battle to retake the Iraqi city of Mosul from ISIS, families in the region are bracing for the effects of more violence. Already hundreds of thousands of families have fled their homes due to fighting, and more may soon be forced to flee the city of Mosul, which is still home to roughly 1.5 million people.

In the Lake Chad Basin, drought and massive displacement due to violence from Boko Haram are converging to create a dire humanitarian crisis. In Nigeria alone, roughly 4.4 million people are in need of food assistance and many children are suffering from severe malnutrition. It's a complicated crisis, and we are still learning about the true consequences that this conflict will have on families in the areas where we work.

Remembering 9/11, honoring Comfort for Kids
As the difficult anniversary of the attacks on September 11, 2001 looms, those of us old enough to remember it cannot but think to where we were and what we were doing when the planes hit, and in retrospect, how our individual lives as well as our country has changed.
Kenya: Collecting water in West Wajir
In towns that are lucky enough to have boreholes, Mercy Corps is providing fuel subsidies so that pastoral families can water their herds and protect what livestock they have left.
Somalia: Update from Mogadishu
I just returned from Mogadishu, where we're trucking clean water to three tent camps in Mogadishu, reaching more than 13,000 people every day.
Libya: Metamorphosis of a parking lot
During the holy month of Ramadan, kids here had an opportunity to leave their homes after months of instability and enjoy the evenings with friends and family.
Libya: Helping children heal
I recently caught up with Dr. Omar Reda, a Libyan-American psychiatrist who's helping Mercy Corps set up psychosocial programs for children affected by the conflict there.
Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya: Water delivery starts in Mogadishu
Although the crisis in Africa's Horn has fallen off the front pages, the situation "continues to deteriorate," according to the latest UN report. Cholera, measles and malaria are on the rise. Food prices have shot up, livestock are withering, and water is scarce.
Somalia: Mogadishu: Conditions in camps
There are over half a million people living in displacement camps in Mogadishu as a result of the famine and years of civil war. Most do not have access to clean water and basic sanitation services.
Japan: Smiling girl displaced by Japanese tsunami
This was outside an emergency shelter only a few weeks after the tsunami. Just down the hill lay incomprehensible devastation. But this girl showed a smile (a rarity during my visit) as she blew bubbles into the air, anxious for life to return to normal.
Kenya: No more trekking and a chance to go to school
I met Zeinab Abdikadir as she was watering her family's goats with her father at a Mercy Corps water storage tank in Bilil Burbur. She caught my attention because, at just nine years old, she was completely focused on her work.
Libya: Response team assessing needs in Tripoli
We now have a five-person response team in Tripoli, visiting hospitals, assessing general humanitarian needs and meeting with other emergency relief groups such as the Libyan Red Crescent.

Cell Service
To find new cures, scientists need the right tools. A Doernbecher discovery is equipping researchers to develop new therapies for genetic disorders.
One of the most exciting frontiers in science today is cell therapy, which aims to cure diseases by replacing missing or damaged cells with healthy ones. Cell transplantation may offer new hope for children with sickle cell disease, inherited immune deficiencies, metabolic disorders, and other genetic diseases.
But the field is still fraught with challenges. One of the biggest obstacles is obtaining healthy cells suitable for transplantation. Markus Grompe, M.D., Doernbecher's Ray Hickey Chair for the Director of the Papé Family Pediatric Research Institute, is on the verge of removing this hurdle – and is transforming what is possible in cell research.
Grompe's research focuses on liver cell transplantation for genetic diseases. One such disease is MSUD (maple syrup urine disease), a rare metabolic disorder in which malfunctioning liver cells fail to produce a critical enzyme needed to break down protein in the body. If untreated, MSUD damages the nervous system, causing mental retardation. Newborns in Oregon are screened for MSUD, and those who test positive must be put on a severely restricted diet to control the disorder's devastating effects. Right now, there is no cure.
"The hope for cell therapy is that it would lead to a lifelong correction of such disorders," says Grompe, who also serves as director of the Oregon Stem Cell Center. Cell therapies work by introducing healthy cells that take over for damaged cells and permanently restore proper cell function. Bone marrow transplantation is one example of cell therapy. "In the case of MSUD or similar genetic liver disorders," says Grompe, "one could imagine transplanting liver cells to correct the underlying problem. But the question is: Where do you get those liver cells?"
Cells in short supply
The shortage of viable liver cells has been a huge impediment to the advancement of cell therapy. Many liver cells available for research are poor-quality or nonviable, coming primarily from cadavers. High-quality livers are needed for organ transplants. An additional challenge is that mature liver cells do not divide and multiply in the laboratory, and sufficient quantities cannot yet be grown from stem cells.
To speed the pace of progress in research, Grompe and his team have developed a new way to produce transplantable liver cells consistently. And they're well on their way to producing quantities large enough for developing and testing cell therapies.
"We have figured out a way to take those hard-to-get liver cells and expand them significantly by transplantation into animals," says Grompe. The key is a genetically modified breed of mouse that Grompe's team has engineered to accept and grow the human cells. "The reason it works to grow human liver cells in a mouse but not in a petri dish is that the cells are getting all the cues and instructions from the living organism that allow them to expand," says Grompe.
A shared resource for science
Grompe founded Yecuris, an OHSU biotech startup, to commercialize this discovery and is now making the liver cells available to scientists and pharmaceutical researchers nationwide. In his quest to find new cures for kids, Grompe has developed a much-needed resource that is already benefiting other important avenues in medical research, including pharmaceutical testing.
"Our ultimate goal is cell therapy," he says, "but in the meantime scientists are using these mice with human livers to study liver disease, such as hepatitis B and C. They're also being used to study malaria, which affects millions of children and adults worldwide."
"This approach is truly innovative," says H. Stacy Nicholson, M.D., M.P.H., Doernbecher's physician-in-chief. "Dr. Grompe and his group are world leaders in this methodology. Nobody has been able to do what they have done."

Hon. Doug Lamborn, Ranking Republican Member,and a Representative in Congress from the State of Colorado
Mr. Chairman, Thank you for holding this hearing in response to my July 10 letter to you. In that letter I asked that we also hold a legislative hearing on H.R. 3047, the Veterans Claims Processing Innovation Act of 2007, which is developing broad bipartisan support.
H.R. 3047 will bring VA's compensation and pension system into the 21st century. By increasing accountability and leveraging technology at the Veterans Benefits Administration, this bill would improve the accuracy and speed of benefits claims; and I commend it to the attention of my colleagues.
While I was disappointed that testimony on H.R. 3047 would not be heard today, I am heartened by your promise to hold another hearing on H.R. 3047 when Congress returns in September.
Of course, Mr. Chairman, I would look forward to you joining the fifteen or more members, from both sides of the aisle, already co-sponsoring H.R. 3047.
It should go without saying that I anticipate the opportunity to review your own legislation to reduce the backlog, once it is offered.
This afternoon, we are considering several pieces of legislation, all of which are of interest and potential value.
Two of these bills bear my name, H.R. 2696 and H.R. 2697. A third, H.R. 2346, introduced by Mr. Fossella, directly addresses how we determine the location of a national cemetery and is most timely.
I look forward to working with Mr. Fossella on H.R. 2346. This is an important bill that will help provide veterans and their families with greater access to national cemeteries, and I believe it will help VA create an accurate and beneficial selection process.
The two bills I introduced support similar bills introduced by Senator Craig.
H.R. 2696, the Veterans Dignified Burial Assistance Act of 2007, has provisions that improve the VA burial benefit and state veterans cemeteries. The bill would increase the burial and plot allowance for a veteran's burial in a private cemetery from $300 to $400.
The bill would also repeal the current time limitation for state reimbursement for interment costs by VA. From time to time, a state locates the remains of veterans who were not interred. When states inter these veterans, they cannot be reimbursed by VA because of the time limit on reimbursement costs.
My legislation would repeal this limitation.
The last provision of bill would authorize the VA secretary to make additional grants to states for improving and expanding state veteran cemeteries. States would have to submit an application to the Secretary, and could receive up to $5,000,000.
H.R. 2697 would extend eligibility for Veterans Mortgage Life Insurance (V-M-L-I) to members of the armed forces.
VMLI is a special type of life insurance that is only available to veterans who qualify for specially adapted housing grants. Many of our nation's injured active duty servicemembers will eventually qualify for VMLI and would benefit by having this eligibility.
These are just three of the bills before us today; I look forward to the testimony and our discussion of the other legislation before us today.
My thanks to my colleagues and the witnesses for their testimony and I yield back.

T.I. doesn't want to be rapping at forty, saying that even though Jay-Z is having an epic fortieth year he wants to follow another career path:
"If I had the option to [be] Jay-Z [or] Will Smith, I think I'd go with Will. I'm a Jay-Z fan. I have a lot of admiration and respect for Jay and his legacy. But I feel like Will, he gets to spend more time with his family. He gets to be home more and actually raise his kids. I feel like he has more of a home life…and the money don't hurt. Twenty million dollars a flick ain't bad."
T.I. has another decade to make his mark in the rap game, but he had better take a few acting lessons. For every Will Smith or Mos Def, there's a Vanilla Ice, 50 Cent, Big Boi, Master P, Nas, Ja Rule, DMX or Sir Mix-A-Lot. Who knows, though, maybe rappers are due. [Rap-Up]

When talking with brides and grooms looking for the perfect location for their destination wedding, the first question we often get is "why Grenada?" If our automatic answer of "because it's the best, of course!" doesn't suffice, we have a list of what makes it the best, too.
The Romance & Seclusion
Grenada is truly one of the most romantic islands of the Caribbean. Unlike many of the other Caribbean islands, Grenada has avoided becoming too overrun and "touristy" and has kept true to its spirit. There are many romantic activities on the island for couples to enjoy. Some of our favorites include hiking to secluded waterfalls, picnicking on one of Grenada's "secret" beaches (ask resort staff to point you in the right direction), and, of course, couples massages from our Balinese masseuses. For a romantic moment that can't be beat, watch the sun set over the Caribbean Sea with a glass of wine and your love by your side. We've been here for years, and it still takes our breath away.
The Beaches
The beaches of Grenada have been voted, year after year, as some of the best in the world. Across the island you'll find a variety of types of beaches; from volcanic black sand, to white sand, to covered in shells or sea glass, to rocky, one could spend their entire vacation finding their favorite style of beach. The most renowned is Grand Anse beach, but for a private, romantic ceremony, we truly believe that our beach cannot be beat. Grenada was also named as one of the twenty must-visit locations in the world for 2013 by National Geographic Traveler. Grenada was given the fitting description of "Caribbean with a smile".
The Ease of Travel
Flights to Grenada come and go regularly from the US, Canada, the UK, and around the Caribbean, and minimal documentation is needed to enter the country. All that most travelers are required to have is a passport and a return ticket. Once here, US currency is accepted as easily as our EC (Eastern Caribbean), so there is no need to worry about exchanging anything before arriving.
The Activities
There truly is something for everyone in Grenada. We've often heard visitors say that their favorite thing about the island is that it has so many varied landscapes; when coming to Grenada, it's almost like a mini trip around the world. At Laluna, visitors get a taste of Bali and Italy; the landscape toward Grand Etang National Forest is often compared to that of Costa Rica; take a drive toward Gouyave and be transported to the Pacific Northwest; there are places on the Atlantic side of the ocean that could be compared to muirs. With the eclectic lay-of-the-land, there are so many things to do here! For those that enjoy getting out into the water, kayaking, snorkeling, and catamaran tours are a must. For active landlubbers there is hiking to waterfalls, mountain biking, and golf to be had. Those looking for relaxation need not go far: Laluna's Asian Spa offers massage, facial treatments, and manicures and pedicures.
The Food
Oh, the food! Of course, Grenada's seafood is hard to beat. The island's fishermen bring in fresh Mahi Mahi, tuna, sailfish and more. Grenada's rich soil is perfect for growing tropical fruit and vegetables; you'll never taste anything better than a mango plucked fresh from the tree, still warm from the sun. Grenada is known as "the Spice Isle" for a reason; a major producer of nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger, the flavors from the island pack a punch. As a developing island, many local culinary projects have sprung up, including the Grenada Goat Dairy, which produces fresh, creamy, local goat cheese. Combine all of these wonderful elements in the masterful hands of Laluna's Chef Daniele, and you'll have the meal of a lifetime!
As you can see, there are a lot of reasons that one would choose to travel to Grenada, and they all come together to make the ideal destination wedding location as well. Imagine a weekend filled with fun, adventure, and relaxation with all of your closest friends and family, culminating with a ceremony on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, followed by toasting your nuptials at sunset and then sitting down to a romantic, artfully prepared meal. It's memories like these that will last a lifetime.

Written by Daniel Hazard
More than a year has passed since the devastating earthquake in Pakistan, but a church aid group working is warning that most of the 3 million quake victims are still without proper shelter and face an encroaching harsh winter.
"There is only a small window of time before winter hits. We are faced with a ticking time bomb," cautioned Mervan Pervez, director of the UCC-supported Church World Service's Afghanistan/Pakistan relief work. Pervez, who made an urgent appeal for additional support on Oct. 10, is working in Pakistan on behalf of the Geneva-based ACT International, of which the UCC is an active member.
More than 75,000 people were killed and more than 3 million were left homeless when the powerful 7.6 earthquake hit the mountainous region on October 8, 2005.
The church aid group noted that only 20 percent of quake-affected families had been able to start work on permanent shelters while others live in partially-built houses and temporary tent shelters erected last year that have worn out and been damaged by rain and the elements.
"The situation will be awful this year as the pace of relief work in this difficult region is slowing down," Usman Adam, CWS spokesperson in Pakistan told Ecumenical News International on Oct. 13 from Islamabad.
Adam said that at least 200,000 families have hardly any shelter while others will struggle to keep themselves warm in the freezing Kashmir region where meteorologists are predicting a harsh winter.
Coinciding with the quake anniversary, hundreds of survivors and activists marched on Pakistan's Parliament in Islamabad bearing placards with messages like "stop taking bribes" and "build our homes before snowfall."
Many survivors accuse government agencies such as Pakistan's Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Authority, which is coordinating rebuilding efforts, of being corrupt and say they have dragged their feet in reconstructing devastated towns.

-In memory of my grandfather, Alvin.
Grandpa Alvin is so awesome,
When he smiled, it looked like a big blossom.
When he smiled at me,
He made me feel, like I was really free.
Grandpa Alvin like to farm and have a great time,
He liked to sit down and write a perfect rhyme!
He really has a great mind,
He really was one of a kind.
Grandpa was kind and generous to us all,
But when he passed on, our world felt so small.
I really enjoyed his thoughts and caring,
I really enjoyed the way he was sharing!
Grandpa liked potatoes and meat,
He really liked desserts that were sweet!
He hated pasta, he hated macaroni,
But he really did like fried bologna.
He liked to do work on the farm,
Everybody knows he would never do any harm!
He was very stubborn and strong willed,
His life was long and adventure filled.
This poem is in memory of William James Alvin

Kishawn McClain and Jeffrey Wilson, who will both be freshmen at UNT this fall, will play for the South tonight in the Texas High School Coaches Association All-Star Game.
The game will be played at 7 p.m. at the Alamodome and will be televised on Fox Sports Southwest.
Wilson is a running back from Elkhart who rushed for 2,749 yards last season when he was the MVP of District 11-2A, Division I and a Class 2A all-state selection. Here is the story we wrote about Wilson when he committed to UNT.
UNT lost Brandin Byrd to graduation, but has Antoinne Jimmerson back and Reggie Pegram set to return from injury. Wilson looks like a redshirt candidate.
McClain is an interesting prospect who will play safety for the Mean Green. He was a two-way player and quarterback in high school. UNT plans to move McClain to safety this fall. He is listed as a linebacker on the roster for tonight's game that includes a list of where all the players in the game are headed to college.
McClain could have a chance to play this fall, considering UNT's situation at safety, where the Mean Green needs some help after the graduation of Marcus Trice. Matthew Dash, a JUCO safety out of California, could end up helping fill that void and give UNT a chance to redshirt McClain. It will all depend on what happens in two-a-days that start Aug. 5. Here's the story we wrote when McClain committed that talks a little about what his role will be at UNT.

With shares of Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) trading at around $30.17, is FB an OUTPERFORM, WAIT AND SEE or STAY AWAY? Let's analyze the stock with the relevant sections of our CHEAT SHEET investing framework:
C = Catalyst for the Stock's Movement
Facebook is one of the most heavily traded stocks throughout the broader market. This indicates heightened interest in the story. As we all know, the public jumped in big time on Facebook, and unless the timing was impeccable, most of those investors are saddled with a loss at the moment. Due to Facebook being a household name and being surrounded by an extraordinary amount of hype, retail investors expected Apple-like (NASDAQ:AAPL) returns. Facebook will never be Apple! That is a guarantee. Through incredible innovation, Apple created and sold products (and still does) that changed the world. Facebook might be popular, but it's still just a company that is attempting to monetize a website. This doesn't mean Facebook will fail. Rather, it will be around for a long time. The disconnect is with expectations.
One potential driver for Facebook is Mark Zuckerberg. He's highly intelligent, but more importantly, he knows what to say and how to say it. Sometimes a charismatic leader can spread optimism with great effectiveness and everyone ends up buying into the story, which can actually change the situation for the better despite challenging conditions. At the same time, a pessimist would look at this as manipulation…

Oracle9i Replication Management API Reference Release 2 (9.2) Part Number A96568-01 |
This chapter illustrates how to manage the replication objects and queues in your replication environment using the replication management API. This chapter contains these topics:
As your database needs change, you may need to modify the characteristics of your replicated objects. It is important that you do not directly execute DDL to alter your replicated objects. Doing so may cause your replication environment to fail.
Use the ALTER_MASTER_REPOBJECT
procedure in the DBMS_REPCAT
package to alter the characteristics of your replicated objects in a quiesced master group. From the example below, notice that you simply include the necessary DDL within the procedure call (see the ddl_text
If any master site is lower than 9.0.0 compatibility level, then you must use the following procedure. That is, the master group must be quiesced to modify a replicated object. You control the compatibility level of a database with the COMPATIBLE
initialization parameter.
Meet the following requirements to complete these actions:
Executed As: Replication Administrator
Executed At: Master Definition Site
Replication Status: Quiesced
Complete the following steps to alter a replicated object in a quiesced master group.
*/ SET ECHO ON SPOOL alter_rep_object.out CONNECT email@example.com /*
*/ BEGIN DBMS_REPCAT.SUSPEND_MASTER_ACTIVITY ( gname => 'hr_repg'); END; / /*
.To check the status, run the following query:
SELECT GNAME, STATUS FROM DBA_REPGROUP; */ PAUSE Press <RETURN> to continue when the master group's status is QUIESCED. /*
*/ BEGIN DBMS_REPCAT.ALTER_MASTER_REPOBJECT ( sname => 'hr', oname => 'employees', type => 'TABLE', ddl_text => 'ALTER TABLE hr.employees ADD (timestamp DATE)'; END; / /*
*/ BEGIN DBMS_REPCAT.GENERATE_REPLICATION_SUPPORT ( sname => 'hr', oname => 'employees', type => 'TABLE', min_communication => TRUE); END; / /*
is empty, and do not proceed until it is empty.Execute the following SELECT
statement in another SQL*Plus session to monitor the DBA_REPCATLOG
SELECT * FROM DBA_REPCATLOG WHERE GNAME = 'HR_REPG'; */ PAUSE Press <RETURN> to continue when DBA_REPCATLOG is empty. /*
*/ BEGIN DBMS_REPCAT.RESUME_MASTER_ACTIVITY ( gname => 'hr_repg'); END; / SET ECHO OFF SPOOL OFF /************************* END OF SCRIPT **********************************/
You may have a situation in which you need to modify a replicated object, but you do not want this modification replicated to the other sites in the replication environment. For example, you may want to disable replication in the following situations:
You may need to do this, for example, if you need to correct the state of a record at one site so that a conflicting replicated update will succeed when you reexecute the error transaction. Or, you may use an unreplicated modification to undo the effects of a transaction at its origin site because the transaction could not be applied at the destination site. In this example, you can use the Replication Management tool to delete the conflicting transaction from the destination site.
To modify tables without replicating the modifications, use the REPLICATION_ON
and REPLICATION_OFF
procedures in the DBMS_REPUTIL
package. These procedures take no arguments and are used as flags by the generated replication triggers.
Note: To enable and disable replication, you must have the |
The DBMS_REPUTIL.REPLICATION_OFF
procedure sets the state of an internal replication variable for the current session to false
. Because all replicated triggers check the state of this variable before queuing any transactions, modifications made to the replicated tables that use row-level replication do not result in any queued deferred transactions.
If you are using procedural replication, then call REPLICATION_OFF
at the start of your procedure, as shown in the following example. This ensures that the replication facility does not attempt to use row-level replication to propagate the changes that you make.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE update AS PROCEDURE update_emp(adjustment IN NUMBER); END; / CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY update AS PROCEDURE update_emp(adjustment IN NUMBER) IS BEGIN --turn off row-level replication for set update DBMS_REPUTIL.REPLICATION_OFF; UPDATE emp . . .; --re-enable replication DBMS_REPUTIL.REPLICATION_ON; EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN . . . DBMS_REPUTIL.REPLICATION_ON; END; END; /
After resolving any conflicts, or at the end of your replicated procedure, be certain to call DBMS_REPUTIL.REPLICATION_ON
to resume normal replication of changes to your replicated tables or materialized views. This procedure takes no arguments. Calling REPLICATION_ON
sets the internal replication variable to true
If you have defined a replicated trigger on a replicated table, then you may need to ensure that the trigger fires only once for each change that you make. Typically, you only want the trigger to fire when the change is first made, and you do not want the remote trigger to fire when the change is replicated to the remote site.
You should check the value of the DBMS_REPUTIL.FROM_REMOTE
package variable at the start of your trigger. The trigger should update the table only if the value of this variable is false
Alternatively, you can disable replication at the start of the trigger and re-enable it at the end of the trigger when modifying rows other than the one that caused the trigger to fire. Using this method, only the original change is replicated to the remote sites. Then the replicated trigger fires at each remote site. Any updates performed by the replicated trigger are not pushed to any other sites.
Using this approach, conflict resolution is not invoked. Therefore, you must ensure that the changes resulting from the trigger do not affect the consistency of the data.
LOB columns can be replicated, but LONG
columns cannot be replicated. You can convert the datatype of a LONG
column to a CLOB
column and the datatype of a LONG_RAW
column to a BLOB
Converting a LONG
column to a LOB column can result in increased network bandwidth requirements because the data in such a column is replicated after conversion. Make sure you have adequate network bandwidth before completing the procedure in this section.
See Also:
Oracle9i Application Developer's Guide - Large Objects (LOBs) for more information about applications and |
Complete the following steps to convert a LONG
column to a LOB column in a replicated table:
column is consistent at all replication sites.If a table containing a LONG
column is configured as a master table, then Oracle does not replicate changes to the data in the LONG
column. Therefore, the data in the LONG
column may not match at all of your replication sites. You must make sure the data in the LONG
column matches at all master sites before proceeding.
CONNECT email@example.com
BEGIN DBMS_REPCAT.SUSPEND_MASTER_ACTIVITY ( gname => 'sales_mg'); END; /
procedure in the DBMS_REPCAT
package to convert the LONG
column to a LOB column. For example:BEGIN DBMS_REPCAT.ALTER_MASTER_REPOBJECT ( sname => 'staff', oname => 'positions', type => 'TABLE', ddl_text => 'ALTER TABLE positions MODIFY (job_desc CLOB)'); END; /
column can be converted to a BLOB
column using a similar ALTER
BEGIN DBMS_REPCAT.GENERATE_REPLICATION_SUPPORT ( sname => 'staff', oname => 'positions', type => 'TABLE', min_communication => TRUE); END; /
BEGIN DBMS_REPCAT.RESUME_MASTER_ACTIVITY ( gname => 'sales_MG'); END; /
It is possible for the differences to arise in replicated tables. When administering a replication environment, you may want to check, periodically, whether the contents of two replicated tables are identical. The following procedures in the DBMS_RECTIFIER_DIFF
package let you identify, and optionally rectify, the differences between two tables when both sites are Oracle release 7.3 or higher.
The DIFFERENCES
procedure compares two replicas of a table, and determines all rows in the first replica that are not in the second and all rows in the second that are not in the first. The output of this procedure is stored in two user-created tables. The first table stores the values of the missing rows, and the second table is used to indicate which site contains each row.
The RECTIFY
procedure uses the information generated by the DIFFERENCES
procedure to rectify the two tables. Any rows found in the first table and not in the second are inserted into the second table. Any rows found in the second table and not in the first are deleted from the second table.
To restore equivalency between all copies of a replicated table, complete the following steps:
For example, it may not be necessary to check rows that have not been updated since the last time that you checked for differences. Although it is not necessary to check all columns, your column list must include all columns that make up the primary key (or that you designated as a substitute identity key) for the table.
You must create one table that can hold the data for the columns being compared. For example, if you decide to compare the employee_id
, salary
, and department_id
columns of the employees
table, then your CREATE
statement would need to be similar to the following:
CREATE TABLE hr.missing_rows_data ( employee_id NUMBER(6), salary NUMBER(8,2), department_id NUMBER(4));
You must also create a table that indicates where the row is found. This table must contain three columns with the datatypes shown in the following example:
CREATE TABLE hr.missing_rows_location ( present VARCHAR2(128), absent VARCHAR2(128), r_id ROWID);
BEGIN DBMS_REPCAT.SUSPEND_MASTER_ACTIVITY ( gname => 'hr_repg'); END; /
procedure in the DBMS_RECTIFIER_DIFF
package.For example, if you wanted to compare the employees
tables at the New York and San Francisco sites, then your procedure call would look similar to the following:
BEGIN DBMS_RECTIFIER_DIFF.DIFFERENCES ( sname1 => 'hr', oname1 => 'employees', reference_site => 'ny.world', sname2 => 'hr', oname2 => 'employees', comparison_site => 'mv4.world', where_clause => '', column_list => 'employee_id,salary,department_id', missing_rows_sname => 'hr', missing_rows_oname1 => 'missing_rows_data', missing_rows_oname2 => 'missing_rows_location', missing_rows_site => 'ny.world', max_missing => 500, commit_rows => 50); END; /
Figure 9-1 shows an example of two replicas of the employee
table and what the resulting missing rows tables would look like if you executed the DIFFERENCES
procedure on these replicas.
Notice that the two missing rows tables are related by the ROWID
and r_id
procedure in the as shown in the DBMS_RECTIFIER_DIFF
package following example:BEGIN DBMS_RECTIFIER_DIFF.RECTIFY ( sname1 => 'hr', oname1 => 'employees', reference_site => 'ny.world', sname2 => 'hr', oname2 => 'employees', comparison_site => 'mv4.world', column_list => 'employee_id,salary,department_id', missing_rows_sname => 'hr', missing_rows_oname1 => 'missing_rows_data', missing_rows_oname2 => 'missing_rows_location', missing_rows_site => 'ny.world', commit_rows => 50); END; /
The RECTIFY
procedure temporarily disables replication at the "comparison" site while it performs the necessary insertions and deletions, as you would not want to propagate these changes. RECTIFY
first performs all of the necessary DELETE
operations and then performs all of the INSERT
operations. This ensures that there are no violations of a PRIMARY
After you have successfully executed the RECTIFY
procedure, your missing rows tables should be empty.
BEGIN DBMS_REPCAT.RESUME_MASTER_ACTIVITY ( gname => 'hr_repg'); END; /
Typically, Advanced Replication is configured to push and purge the deferred transaction queue automatically. At times, however, you may need to push or purge the deferred transaction queue manually. The process for pushing the deferred transaction queue is the same at master sites and materialized view sites.
Master sites are configured to push the deferred transaction queue automatically at set intervals. At materialized view sites, if you do not automatically propagate the transactions in your deferred transaction queue during the refresh of your materialized view, then you must complete the following steps to propagate changes made to the updatable materialized view to its master table or master materialized view.
This example illustrates pushing the deferred transaction queue at a materialized view site, but the process is the same at master sites and materialized view sites.
Executed As: Materialized View Administrator
Executed At: Materialized View Site
Complete the following steps:
CONNECT email@example.com
statement to view the deferred transactions and their destinations. Propagation of the deferred transaction queue is based on the destination of the transaction. Each distinct destination and the number of transactions pending for the destination will be displayed.SELECT DISTINCT(dblink), COUNT(deferred_tran_id) FROM deftrandest GROUP BY dblink;
function for each site that is listed as a destination for a deferred transaction.DECLARE temp INTEGER; BEGIN temp := DBMS_DEFER_SYS.PUSH ( destination => 'orc1.world', stop_on_error => FALSE, delay_seconds => 0, parallelism => 0); END; /
Run the PUSH
procedure for each destination that was returned in the SELECT
statement you ran in Step 2.
If your system is not set to automatically purge the successfully propagated transactions in your deferred transaction queue periodically, then you must complete the following steps to purge them manually.
This example illustrates purging the deferred transaction queue at a materialized view site, but the process is the same at master sites and materialized view sites.
Executed As: Materialized View Administrator
Executed At: Materialized View Site
Complete the following steps:
CONNECT firstname.lastname@example.com
DECLARE temp INTEGER; BEGIN temp := DBMS_DEFER_SYS.PURGE ( purge_method => dbms_defer_sys.purge_method_quick); END; /
Note: If you use the |
If you are using column objects, collections, or REF
s in a replicated table, then you can use the GET_AnyData_ARG
function in the DBMS_DEFER_QUERY
package to determine the value of an argument in a deferred call that involves one of these user-defined types.
The following example illustrates how to use the GET_AnyData_ARG
function. This example uses the following user-defined types in the oe
sample schema.
CREATE TYPE phone_list_typ AS VARRAY(5) OF VARCHAR2(25); / CREATE TYPE warehouse_typ AS OBJECT (warehouse_id NUMBER(3), warehouse_name VARCHAR2(35), location_id NUMBER(4) ); / CREATE TYPE inventory_typ AS OBJECT (product_id NUMBER(6), warehouse warehouse_typ, quantity_on_hand NUMBER(8) ); / CREATE TYPE inventory_list_typ AS TABLE OF inventory_typ; /
The following procedure retrieves the argument value for collection, object, and REF
instances of calls stored in the deferred transactions queue. This procedure assumes that the call number and transaction id are available.
The user who creates the procedure must have EXECUTE
privilege on the DBMS_DEFER_QUERY
package and must have CREATE
privilege. This example uses the oe
sample schema. Therefore, to run the example, you must grant the oe
user these privileges.
CONNECT system/manager as sysdba GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_DEFER_QUERY TO oe; GRANT CREATE PROCEDURE TO oe; CONNECT email@example.com CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE get_userdef_arg AS call_no NUMBER := 0; txn_id VARCHAR2(128) := 'xx.xx.xx'; anydata_val Sys.AnyData; t SYS.AnyType; data_pl phone_list_typ; -- varray data_ntt inventory_list_typ; -- nested table type data_p warehouse_typ; -- object type ref1 REF inventory_typ; -- REF type rval PLS_INTEGER; -- return value tc PLS_INTEGER; -- return value prec PLS_INTEGER; -- precision scale PLS_INTEGER; -- scale len PLS_INTEGER; -- length csid PLS_INTEGER; -- character set id csfrm PLS_INTEGER; -- character set form cnt PLS_INTEGER; -- count of varray elements or number of -- object attributes sname VARCHAR2(35); -- schema name type_name VARCHAR2(35); -- type name version VARCHAR2(35); BEGIN FOR i IN 1 .. 5 LOOP anydata_val := DBMS_DEFER_QUERY.GET_AnyData_ARG(call_no, i, txn_id); -- Get the type information, including type name. tc := anydata_val.GetType(t); tc := t.GetInfo(prec, scale, len, csid, csfrm, sname, type_name, version, cnt); -- Based on the type name, convert the anydata value to the appropriate -- user-defined types.

See Also:
As an administrator of a replication environment, you should regularly monitor the error queue to determine if any deferred transactions were not successfully applied at the target master site.
To check the error queue, issue the following SELECT
statement (as the replication administrator) when connected to the target master site:
SELECT * FROM deferror;
If the error queue contains errors, then you should resolve the error condition and reexecute the deferred transaction. You have two options when reexecuting a deferred transaction: you can reexecute in the security context of the user who received the deferred transaction, or you can reexecute the deferred transaction with an alternate security context.
The following procedure reexecutes a specified deferred transaction in the security context of the user who received the deferred transaction. This procedure should not be executed until the error situation has been resolved.

ATC President Fights Fire
July 1, 2011 - WALB - Albany Technical College offers a lot of hands on programs for students. Now even the President of the college is taking the heat like his students in the Firefighting Program and learning what they have to go through to be successful.
President Parker says, "They have to learn how to react in that environment not to panic to understand thermo dynamics know where they are and what they are about before they can go putting fires out".
Students like Britnee Brown came all the way from Ohio to go to ATC and enjoys the real life experience the program and this training facility provides.
"We actually do skills here instead of just book work because I wanted the actual feel of being a firefighter so when I join a firefighter station I will already know what I'm doing", says Brown.
President Parker wanted to get in the action himself. And it turned out to be an experience of President Parker's life that believe it or not he wants to do again.
"If someone can show me how to get suited up, but that's the thing you gotta do, but I enjoyed it, it would be fun to get back in there with them".
ATC hopes that one day with more involvement and advancement of the program that it will eventually turn into a four year program.

A case could be made that Bill Hormann was in a no-win situation when he replaced longtime news anchor Jeff Heitz in mid-January.
WTOL-TV, Channel 11, was the undisputed leader in local television news during the 26 years that Heitz served as anchor. If the ratings dipped after Heitz left, which was more likely than not, then the new guy would be blamed.
Fast forward five months. The ratings came out last week, and no fingers were pointing at Hormann. Instead, high-fives were in order - ratings for WTOL's 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts were higher than the previous May, when Heitz occupied the anchor chair next to Chrys Peterson.
To the surprise of the competition, Hormann came out a winner in this potentially no-win situation.
"I took it personally when one of the other stations in town said, `We'll be No. 1 by November,'" Hormann said. "That comment was made, and it showed two things - utter disregard for the viewers and utter disrespect for the new guy in town."
Hormann, 39, said he is "humbled" by the way he has been accepted by viewers. And, please, he only wants his fair share of the credit for the May ratings.
"Whatever success this station achieves while I'm sitting at the desk goes to an entire crew of photographers, producers, reporters, managers, and fellow anchors," said Hormann, who has a refreshing sense of historical perspective. "They were here before me; they established a strong, trusted foundation in this community, and I'm simply adding my style and personality to all that. I'm another ingredient in our stew.
"Jeff Heitz helped get this station to the position it's in today. He made my job easier."
WTOL news director C.J. Beutien, a former anchor, was responsible for hiring Hormann.
"Bill is a positive influence in the newsroom," Beutien said. "In the search for a new male anchor, I was looking for a multitalented individual - one who could anchor from the desk, report live from the field, do a great job explaining things from the Chroma-Key wall, loved to get involved with the community, and, most importantly, had great chemistry with Chrys.
"Bill has all of those traits and has proven them since being here. There are not many who possess all of those talents, believe me - I looked at over 700 tapes."
Count Peterson as a Hormann fan. "A new person brings new energy and a fresh perspective to a newscast," she said.
Heitz spent 28 years at WTOL. Hormann says he wouldn't mind doing the same.
"Now the hard work begins," he said. "You've got to keep [the ratings numbers] there."
COUNTDOWN: Jack Mitchell and Mary Beth Zolik - better known to radio listeners as Mitch and Mary Beth - return to the air July 2 on WRVF-FM (101.5). They had the No. 1-ranked morning show at WKKO-FM (99.9) before leaving the station in October.
TWICE AS NICE: WUPW-TV, Channel 36, expands its 10 p.m. newscast to an hour starting Aug. 6.

Taking a dig at the seat sharing talks between Congress and NCP ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections in Maharashtra, Shiv Sena today said that a massive defeat for both parties in the Assembly elections is inevitable.
"Both parties are fighting over seat sharing for the upcoming elections and are saying that they can win the elections even without an alliance. But a massive defeat is lined up for both parties whether they fight as partners or not," the Shiv Sena in its editorial mouthpiece "Saamna" today said.
It further added that the altercations between the two parties is nothing but a "source of entertainment" for Maharashtra. Sena said that it is ironical that the parties try to out do each other at every possible opportunity and yet continue talking about fight elections as alliance partners.
"There are a host of Congress-NCP leaders that have joined the Sena lately. The one question that is plaguing them is to find a way to stop the migration of their leaders into our party," the party said. "It is very courageous of them to remain busy bickering among themselves and speaking of fighting elections by themselves instead of addressing the problem of the migration of their leaders into our party fold," it added.
The Sena said that the Congress and the NCP will get to taste defeat once again as it did in the Lok Sabha elections. "Big leaders like Prithviraj Chavan, Manikrao Thakrey, Narayan Rane, Ajit Pawar, Jayant Patil and R R Patil should definitely come out and fight elections. Only then will Maharashtra get a chance to make them taste defeat post elections," it said.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain believes Sunday's game against Manchester United holds the key not just to Arsenal's Champions League ambitions but their Premier League aspirations next season.
The Gunners lie third in the table after labouring to a 1-0 win over 10-man Fulham last Saturday and host the runaway League champions at Emirates Stadium this weekend.
"Obviously it's a massive game for us with a Champions League place at stake but it's also massive for next season with the confidence we can get from winning," he said.
The Arsenal and England winger likened it to the 2-0 win over Bayern Munich in the last 16 of the Champions League, which was not enough to overhaul a first-leg 3-1 defeat.
Since then, Arsenal are unbeaten in the Premier League with five wins and a solitary draw — against Everton —coming last week.
"The win over Bayern wasn't enough to get us to qualify for the Champions League quarter-finals but it was still a massive boost for us as a side," said the 19-year-old, who on Sunday took to the streets of London to cheer on Marathon runners as a Lucozade Sport ambassador. "We're still feeding off the momentum of that and a win over United can have the same effect."
The odds are stacked against Arsenal, who have won only one of their last 11 encounters with United, a 1-0 victory at Emirates Stadium at the end of the 2010-11 season.
But Oxlade-Chamberlain is confident of halting Sir Alex Ferguson's side and believes the Gunners have a realistic chance of vying with them for next season's Premier League title.
"As a team we're as good as anyone in the Premier League, right up there with the best in Europe and worldwide," he added. "There's a few things we need to tie up but we've been working hard as a team and becoming an increasingly tight unit and we're winning games that we should win.
"We have quality players in our side and believe we can beat anyone."
Arsenal are effectively in a three-way London fight for Champions League qualification. Arsene Wenger's side are in third place on 63 points, one clear of Chelsea and two ahead of Tottenham, both of whom have a game in hand over the Gunners.
And Oxlade-Chamberlain believes that last year's experience, in which they edged Spurs by a solitary point to automatically qualify for the tournament's group stages, would hold the team in good stead.
"We qualified last year in difficult circumstances," he said. "And we're in a similar boat this year.
"It's going to be very difficult and intense but we just have to ensure we're taking everything we can out of every game left."
By Oxlade-Chamberlain's own admission, Arsenal have had an undulating season and struggled at times for any sort of consistency.
He said: "It's been up and down for us this year. We've had some lows, the cups in particular. The defeats against Bradford and Blackburn really hurt us, they were games we felt we really should have won.
"And then there was the low of the first leg against Bayern.
"But as a team we've learned from those negatives and been able to enjoy some highs, such as the second leg against Bayern and, hopefully, we will continue like that for the remainder of the season."
No shortage of criticism has been levelled at Wenger and his players and, to an extent, Oxlade-Chamberlain admitted it was with good reason.
He said: "Earlier in the season, people were saying we weren't defending well enough, we weren't passionate enough and weren't helping each other out.
"But the support in this team feels really good now and it's something we still need to keep building on.
"At the moment, it's going well, we just need it all to come together in one final push this season."

Jim Kurn plays the harmonica and enjoys playing bingo and going out to eat. But none of those is his secret to longevity. The ability to get along with all types of people is the reason Mr. Kurn turned 100 last week, he says.
He was born Dec. 1, 1913, in Brackenridge, one of 12 children. He lived in Brackenridge almost his entire life and retired as a crane operator for Allegheny Ludlum. He has one son, Jim Jr. of San Antonio, Texas.
In 2002, he moved to Concordia Lutheran Ministries' Haven I community in Cabot, Butler County. He now lives in its personal care section and celebrated his birthday at the Lund Care Center with friends and his "adopted" family, the Brewers of Cabot.
If you or a friend or a relative recently turned 100 or will soon do so, the Post-Gazette would like to hear from you.

Introduction to Family Therapy
This introductory course investigates the concepts of family therapy and systems theory. Besides attending a potentially different client population, family therapy contributes a variety of new lenses with which to approach human problems. The course introduces the paradigmatic shift that has developed from communicational, systemic, and cybernetic theories. The course distinguishes and studies similarities and differences between family therapy ideas and other psychotherapeutic paradigms and related techniques, including individual interviewing practices; and addresses the challenges family therapists face in the changing delivery of human services care systems. Students use family systems ideas to analyze and develop innovative approaches in their work with individuals, families, and com

- - breaking a blind 2 year old
breaking a blind 2 year old I have a 2 year old appaloosa filly who was recently diagnosed with moonblindness and cataracts. She is completely blind in her left eye and the vet thinks she will soon be blind in her right eye as well. I was just about to start breaking her to ride, but now I'm not so sure. Has anyone has any experience with something like this? Should I continue her training and still try to break her or should I not and just focus on ground work that may not be so hard for her? |
I read an awesome article once (I think it was Horse Magazine, but I'm not positive). The horse went blind, but he was so trusting the owner that she kept working with him and competed in dressage. So why not to give a try? Start with ground work and then just see from there. But again the horse has to have a complete trust in you because you'll be her eyes! Good luck! |
I have a blind Saddlebred that I ride. He went blind at an older age (early teens), but from the same thing. He was already trained to ride, but I essentially had to retrain him anyway once he lost his sight. Her trust level in you is extremely important. Anything you teach her will take twice as long. Verbal cues are your best friend. My horse will relax as long as I keep up consistent light pressure on the reins to constantly direct him, and keep up a steady stream of chatter. If I get quiet, he gets nervous. (I have actually taken to riding him with my mp3 player on, and singing to him whatever happens to play, lol) The main thing to remember is that you ARE her eyes, so if you let her bump things or stumble, she will learn not to trust your judgement. But as long as she is given plenty of time to learn new tasks, and you don't try to push her too far out of her comfort level, there is no reason she can't be a riding horse. |
This is a good way to DIE!!!!! Half blind horses or blind horses are NOT SAFE! They startle much too easily! Been around several in my life - have one finishing raising a foal right now. NO - you don't try to ride one, much less try to break one to saddle. Did I say - THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO DIE!!! They need either put down or left in the same paddock for the rest of their natural life. Change is not good for these animals. |
Growing up a neighbor had a gelding blind in one eye and missing the other eye completely he was very trusting and Im pretty sure every kid in the neighborhood rode him. The real kicker is he was so good and so gentle we rode him bareback with only a halter out on the roads and trails.Just take your time and I think you will grow a really special bond being your horses eyes! |
Thanks everyone for your opinions. I've heard stories about blind horses who went blind later in life and were ridden fine, but I've also heard stories about some who weren't ridable anymore. I've never heard anything about anyone breaking a blind horse, however. Something the vet mentioned to me was a cataract removal surgery, that would return her eyesight to her. It's very expensive, and the vet didn't seem to think it was something that has a great success rate. Has anyone ever had an experience with a horse who has undergone this surgery? |
I know plenty of people with blind horses that do just fine. What would the alternative be? Destroy the horse? |
I disagree on the whole death thing. I think the owners of these horses would disagree too. |
A friend had a horse that was very successful at hunter shows (so yes, it was jumping) that during a PPE for the new buyer it was discovered that the horse was completely blind in one eye and had limited vision in the other. The horse just trusted the rider and had adapted well to its lack of vision. Backing a blind 2yo is something that would depend greatly on the temperament of the 2yo. |

No flowers on the cactus at the moment but some of the Aloes are getting lovely flower heads and they will look great soon. There's even some brugs out to greet you. OSA, BB, Avalanche and a verrrry pale Lipstick. Buds coming out on EP but they will still be a few days. The urn is on so would you like tea or coffee? I have Bushell's tea or Moccona dark roast. Maybe you would like a bit of apple crumble and fresh cream with that. Carpet can take a rest on the nice sunny verandah. Colleen |

help! Scared out of our minds! Very Urgent! Feb 23, 2006 Hi Dr. McGovern, My girl friend was in a monogomous (on her part at least) abusive lesbian relationship. She got out months ago after a fight where her blood was drawn (and she's unsure about whether or not her then bisexual partner's blood was drawn as well). 8 weeks after the incident she tested for Hep C and was found to be negative. Her liver enzymes were also normal. She tested for other STDs around the same time also (HIV included)- all negative. At the six month mark her HIV testing was also negative thankfully. Would you recommend retesting for HCV? Your answer is really important as we would like to put this behind us ASAP! Thank you for all the great work that you and all the other experts do on here! |
Response from Dr. McGovern
Since she was tested 8 weeks after the bloody altercation, she is most likely negative and not exposed. I think it is reasonable to draw another antibody test since there can be some patients who convert later; however I think the likelihood of contracting HCV is quite low. Testing would just be reassuring to both of you so you can "put it behind you". Dr. M |

Each template's detail page contains an "Add to Cart" button that takes you to our shopping cart page where you can choose to pay with your credit card or through your PayPal account. After your credit card is approved, you will be directed to a page where you can download your template file(s). You will also receive an email shortly after purchase that contains the download link location. The download file comes in a zipped format. Save this zipped file to a location on your hard drive (remember where you saved it!). It's also a good idea to make a backup copy of this file for safekeeping.
Each template is different. While font colors can be easily changed by editing the CSS file, other color areas may be images, especially in older templates. We recommend you read through the "live preview" for specific details.
You can add additional pages, delete pages you do not need, and even rename pages to be better suited to your site. We have tutorials on our Help Center covering these topics.
All sales are final and no refunds will be given for software that is delivered via digital download from our site. We offer live previews of each template so you can view all of the pages before you buy. If you have a question about the suitability of any template, please contact us before you purchase. If there is a problem with one of the digital download products or if you experience any difficulty with its download, we will fix the problem.
The most common reason a credit card is declined is that the name on the card, the billing address, the zip code, and the 3-digit code do not all match during the verification process. We have no control over how or why a card is approved or declined. Often when a card is declined, the reserve amount is still deducted from your available balance for 24-48 hours before being replaced. If your card was not approved, we recommend you contact your credit card company or bank immediately and report you encountered an AVS mismatch error during your transaction attempt. Read more details here.
"Responsive" refers to templates that can adapt their size depending on whether you are viewing the site on a mobile phone, a tablet like the iPad or Kindle Fire, a laptop, or a desktop computer. A visitor to your site who is using a small device, like a cell phone or a tablet, will see the site differently but can still access most, if not all, of your site's information. While a template can cover most instances where items should expand and contract, you may have a specific image or element that requires a bit of extra help. Just let us know and we can walk you though how to adapt it for your needs.
Our Expression Web templates are compatible with Microsoft™ Expression Web 4. Earlier versions of Expression Web do not display the page design accurately when in Design View.
Our Expression Web templates also work perfectly in Adobe™ Dreamweaver CS4 and higher. Expression Web does add vti_cfn and vti_pvt files; however, Dreamweaver ignores them. Their presence or absence does not affect the web at all. You can delete them or we can remove these extra bits for you on request.
Our HTML generic templates can be used in a variety of modern web editors.
Your template may contain watermarked images or photos provided by third-party providers. We have obtained permission to incorporate these images within the template as a sample of what your site might look like.

The company commissioned the 150MW Massif du Sud wind project and the first 150MW phase of the Lac Alfred wind farm. Both projects are 50% owned by Calgary-based pipeline giant Enbridge.
EDF EN is currently constructing the 150MW second phase of Lac Alfred and will break ground soon on what will be Canada's largest wind farm, the 350MW Rivière-du-Moulin project.
EDF EN is building the projects with turbines supplied by Repower. The two companies partnered to meet Quebec's local content requirements, an agreement that gives a huge boost to the German turbine maker in its efforts to build a North American presence.
Repower has also recently moved into the Ontario market, announcing a contract for 105MW and plans for a rotor blade factory in the province that is expected to begin production by the middle of this year.

You�d think with our seemingly ever-shortening attention spans, we�d pay more attention to short films. Wait � what was I saying?
Oh, yeah, short films. What used to be probably the most underseen aspect of the field of Oscar nominees has gotten a little more attention in recent years, thanks to the theatrical releases of the entire Oscar-nominated short films.
The shorts are divided into three separate programs by Oscar category: Best Animation, Best Live Action and Best Documentary. Tickets are sold for individual programs, but the five nominees in each category add up to a healthy feature length. Oscar completists and film aficionados, plot your weekend.
