Rush Limbaugh is over the Sandra Fluke affair, but his WABC radio station may not be. Sagging ad revenues and internal disputes are reportedly causing friction between the portly pundit and his longstanding distributor Cumulus Media.
Feeling unappreciated by Cumulus CEO Lew Dickey could be another cause of a looming shakeup, if Limbaugh decides to pack up.
According to the New York Daily News that would mean 40 Cumulus-owned radio outlets would lose access to The Rush Limbaugh Program, considered to be the most popular talk radio program in the nation.
At root Limabaugh refuses to be blamed from dramatically declining ad revenue at the network. Dickey has reportedly said that Limbaugh's controversial comments about Sandra Fluke, which helped shaped the debate over the presidential election and proved a winning theme for Obama, have diminished ad revenue for the past year. The ad slump that followed Limbaugh's widely reported remarks remains a 'residual hangover' for the station.
But a source close to Limbaugh denied that claim and told the Daily News: 'Lew needs someone to blame, so he's pointing fingers instead of fixing his own sales problem.'
In February 2012 Limbaugh called law student Sandra Fluke a slut and a prostitute on air after she requested Washington lawmakers mandate insurance coverage for birth control.
Progressive groups quickly called for advertisers to drop Limbaugh's show and several hundred did, including Sears, Geico, John Deere, Netflix, Capitol One and the New York Lottery.
Limabuagh has downplayed the defections but Dickey told analysts that the Fluke controversy had cost Cumulus 'a couple of million' in the first quarter of 2012 and 'a couple of million' in the second quarter.
Overall, Cumulus was 'hit pretty hard by this,' he said, directly contradicting Limbaugh's sunnier claims. Company revenue for that period fell 3.5% and Dickey estimated 1% was due to Rush.
'It's a very serious discussion, because Dickey keeps blaming Rush for his own revenue problems,' a source close to Limbaugh told the press. 'Dickey's talk stations underperform talk stations owned by other operators in generating revenue by a substantial margin. It's not a single show issue...it's a failure of the entire station. And trying to blame Rush for that is not much of a business partnership.'

Iittala Taika Collection
Until recently, holidays didn't mean much to me. I grew up in a family that didn't celebrate, so I really didn't understand what all the fuss was about. But my boyfriend loves Christmas, so I decided to join him in the holiday festivities — last year was the first year that I exchanged Christmas gifts and this year will be the first year I set up a tree. Since I didn't grow up with any holiday traditions, I have been able to start my own-- and purchasing holiday china is one of the ways in which I will do that.
Currently, my top choice is the Iittala Taika Collection. It is beautiful, colorful, and full of whimsy and character. Even though my design aesthetic usually leans toward clean and minimalist, something about these plates just makes me salivate--not to mention that they are beyond cute.
My current dilemma is deciding whether to get all of one color, or mix and match the dishes. Either way, I am sure that I will love them. I cannot wait to incorporate and start even more traditions in the upcoming years.

Environmentally Friendly ProductsGreen Policies - Southern California
Local Government Green Building Ordinances in California
In recent years, numerous local governments in California have implemented "green" building ordinances. These measures can increase energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and decrease other harmful environmental impacts. This document identifies the various approaches to green building ordinances that jurisdictions have taken and the most common features of the measures.
City of Anaheim
The Anaheim Public Utilities Green Building Program offers incentives for private projects certified by LEED or other green rating systems. Qualified projects earn incentives including plan check fee waivers, expedited permit processing, and other incentives for energy efficient technologies. LEED Certified or better is required all for city-owned projects over 10,000 sq. ft. GreenPoint Rated is listed as a resource for home builders.
City of Chula Vista
The City offers the GreenStar program under which residences with planned sustainable design elements receive expedited permitting. All permit applications must include an Indoor Air Quality Plan and a Water Conservation Plan.
City of Costa Mesa
Costa Mesa has a Green Building Incentive Program wherein permit fees are waived for green technologies and builders can receive rebates for costs of green certifications, including GreenPoint Rated.
City of Los Angeles
LEED Certified is required for all civic projects 7,500 sf or larger. The City encourages voluntary residential green remodeling with the Residential Rehabilitation Guidebook. The City is developing a program for private sector green building standards that may require LEED Certified for private projects of 50+ residential units or 50,000+ sf of commercial space.
City of Mission Viejo
The City of Mission Viejo has a two-year pilot program (ending in April 2008) for residential remodeling and new construction. Projects are scored against a green building scorecard, those with 60 or more points are eligible to receive expedited plan review and design assistance.
City of San Diego
Residential and commercial projects are encouraged to follow the City's Sustainable Building Measures, and expedited permit processing is available for projects following the City Council's Sustainable Building Policy. LEED Silver is required for all new civic projects.
City of West Hollywood
West Hollywood has a mandatory green building program for all commercial, municipal, and residential projects with 3 or more units. A point system is used to rate projects, with high achieving projects eligible for extra zoning incentives.

"Although I have some doubts that XFCE is 'so very much lighter' than GNOME (GNOME 2.20 doesn't take too much memory if you don't start all kind of crap), it is still lighter, and in a few years there will be less and less antiquated computers who require extra-light window managers (Fluxbox, Openbox, Blackbox, WindowMaker, IceWM). XFCE is reasonably mature, and constantly improving, so it has all the chances to become the mid-weighted Desktop Environment of choice pretty soon! What is XFCE needing to reach the Nirvana?

Who Shares the Lake?
by Tish Farrell
Imagine you're a fish eagle soaring over the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, Africa. What do you see? There are many lakes in the valley below, but the water in most of them is too salty to drink. You know one lake that has good, fresh water—Lake Naivasha. Other animals know Lake Naivasha, too. Fresh water is important to everyone in this dry part of Africa.
® Images of Africa Photobank/Alamy
The lake looks quiet now, but giraffes and zebras, antelope and buffalo, and sometimes even leopards, come to drink the water.
Birds visit the lake to find fish to eat. Eagles spot fish from the air and dive down to catch them. The long-legged Goliath heron stays close to shore, wading in shallow water to find its lunch.
Cormorants can just hop out of their nests to go fishing. A tree grew when part of the lake dried up. Years later, heavy rains filled the lake again and surrounded the tree with water.
Hippos wallow all day in the lake to keep cool. At night they eat grass along the shore.
People come to the lake to fish, too. As they spread their nets in the shallow water, they must take care not to disturb the hippos.
Farmers use the water from Lake Naivasha to grow vegetables and flowers. They send roses and carnations to markets around the world. It's another way to share the beauty of the lake.
- What might happen to the people and animals around Lake Naivasha if the lake dried up? Why?
[anno: The people and animals around Lake Naivasha would have to find new homes if the lake dried up. The people and animals depend on the lake for food and water.]
- What is an important body of water near you? How do people use this body of water? Write a sentence or two to explain your answer.
[anno: Answers will vary but should include the name of a river, a lake, or an ocean. Students should write how people use the resources from this body of water.]

WHO Technical Report Series854
This report contains the collective views of an international group or experts and does not necessarily represent the decisions the stated policy of the World Health Organization
WHO Technical Report SeriesGeneva 1995
The World Health Organization is a specialized agency of the United Nations with primary responsibility for international health matters and public health. Through this organization, which was created in 1948, the health professions of some 190 countries exchange their knowledge and experience with the aim of making possible the attainment by all citizens of the world by the year 2000 of a level of health that will permit them to lead a socially and economically productive life.
By means of direct technical cooperation with its Member States, and by stimulating such cooperation among them, WHO promotes the development of comprehensive health services, the prevention and control of diseases, the improvement of environmental conditions, the development of human resources for health, the coordination and development of biomedical and health services research, and the planning and implementation of health programmes.
These broad fields of endeavour encompass a wide variety of activities, such as developing systems of primary health care that reach the whole population of Member countries; promoting the health of mothers and children; combating malnutrition; controlling malaria and other communicable diseases including tuberculosis and leprosy; coordinating the global strategy for the prevention and control of AIDS; having achieved the eradication of smallpox, promoting mass immunization against a number of other preventable diseases; improving mental health; providing safe water supplies; and training health personnel of all categories.
Progress towards better health throughout the world also demands international cooperation in such matters as establishing international standards for biological substances, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals; formulating environmental health criteria; recommending international nonproprietary names for drugs; administering the International Health Regulations; revising the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems; and collecting and disseminating health statistical information.
Reflecting the concerns and priorities of the Organization and its Member States, WHO publications provide authoritative information and guidance aimed at promoting and protecting health and preventing and controlling disease.
The WHO Technical Report Series makes available the findings of various international groups of experts that provide WHO with the latest scientific and technical advice on a broad range of medical and public health subjects. Members of such expert groups serve without remuneration in their personal capacities rather than as representatives of governments or other bodies. An annual subscription to this series, comprising 12 to 15 such reports, costs Sw. fr. 132.- (Sw. fr. 92.40 in developing countries).

Ain't smoking on the delicate
Weighin out the heavy shit
You could get high off the smell of it
It's like dope in your nostrils
AK for your brain made them open they chakras
Apollo's apostles, stroke of Picasso

She told me that she not bilingual
But got two tongues if that's what you're into
I got inside her mental, chicks that I been through, it's simple
Now I'm tryna figure how to bend spoons
The prodigy of an alchemist
It's Indigos in rotation bringing amethyst
Must be out your cranium to even try and aim at this
I can't be a Satanist, I don't know who Satan is
Defy your own limits
They thought that I would die but I survived off spinach
Macho man, Popeye did it
And I know you lookin down so, Pop I did it
The key to my lyric is my physic
Astrophysical, I can tap into your spirit
Of course I'm talkin to you
And of course I'm targetin' you

In this song, he brings in the idea of "the indigo child" and his enlightenment that allows him to see further than what the average eye can.

New York — A weaker than anticipated growth in net members caused Town Sports International (TSI), New York, to lower its outlook for the year, the company announced in its late October financial filing for the third quarter 2008. During the quarter, the company had an increase in revenue but a decrease in net income.
TSI lowered its total revenue expectations to $504 million to $508 million, which is down from $510 million to $520 million. Net income is projected to be $16.5 million to $17.5 million, down from $21.3 million to $22.3 million.
TSI now expects to open nine new clubs and close four clubs in 2008. Two clubs expected to open in 2008 are now expected to open in early first quarter 2009. TSI had opened six clubs and closed three clubs as of Sept. 30, 2008.
"As you are well aware, the economic environment has been tumultuous since the last time we've reported our earnings, especially in our core New York City metropolitan area," Alex Alimanestianu, president and chief executive officer of TSI, said in an Oct. 31 call with financial analysts. "We finished the first half of the year with solid results, including stable year-over-year attrition rates, and we expect the first-half trends to continue through the balance of the year. However, in July and August and as the financial crisis escalated in September, we saw consumer behavior change, and as a result, we saw new members sign up for shorter plans and attrition rates move higher than expected."
He noted that September was an important new member sign-up month for TSI, second only to the month of January. Although TSI had a higher total membership in the third quarter, Alimanestianu expects the numbers to be down in the fourth quarter as a result of likely increases in attrition and continued slower new member sign-ups.
The company's personal training revenue was up 12.3 percent in the third quarter, which is an improvement from the first half of the year. Member participation in personal training grew 16 percent, which Alimanestianu attributed to better execution in this area of the business. Corporate membership sales continued to grow versus the prior year, but the year-to-date double-digit rate of growth in new unit sales slowed to single digits as companies were more focused on cost controls, layoffs and other critical needs, he said.
TSI's total revenue for the third quarter increased 7.8 percent to $128.1 million compared to $118.9 million in the same period last year. Total operating expenses increased 11 percent to $116.5 million from $105 million in the third quarter 2007. Net income for third quarter 2008 was $3.8 million, down from $5.1 million in the same period last year.
For the nine months ending Sept. 30, 2008, total revenue increased 8.4 percent compared to the nine months ending Sept. 30, 2007.
"We are convinced that health and fitness will continue to be a high priority for our target customers, and we remain extremely confident in our strategy, the operational initiatives we have undertaken, and the long-term growth potential of our company," Alimanestianu said.
The company's stock had a 52-week high of $11.48 in December 2007, but as of late last month, the stock hovered around $2.30.

proposed livecd-iso-to-disk.pod
=head1 NAME
livecd-iso-to-disk - installs bootable CD images on a USB storage devices.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<livecd-iso-to-disk> [--help] [--format] [--reset-mbr] [--efi] [--extra-kernel-args <args>] [--multi] [--livedir <dir>] [--compress] [--skip-compress] [--swap-size-mb <size>] [--xo] [--xo-no-home] [--noverify] [--skipcopy] [--overlay-size-mb <size>] [--copy-overlay] [--delete-home] [--home-size-mb <size>] [--copy-home] [--force] [--crypted-home] [--unencrypted-home] <isopath> <usbstick device>"
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<livecd-iso-to-disk> installs a live CD or DVD image (ISO image) onto a USB storage device. The USB storage device can then boot the installed operating system on systems which support booting via USB. B<livecd-iso-to-disk> requires an ISO image and a USB storage device. The ISO image may even be the currently running live media image. If the operating system supports a persistent overlay to save system changes, a fresh overlay, or a copy of the currently running overlay may be included in the install. This enables one to easily prepare customized live media images for redistribution. (ISO images can be created with B<livecd-creator>.)
B<livecd-iso-to-disk> is not a destructive process; any data you currently have on your USB stick is preserved.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item --help
Displays usage information and exits.
=item --format
Formats the USB stick and creates an MS-DOS partition table (or GPT partition table if --efi is passed).
=item --reset-mbr
Sets the Master Boot Record(MBR) of the USB storage device to the mbr.bin file from the image's syslinux directory.
=item --efi
Create a GPT partition table when --format is passed, and install an hybrid EFI/MBR bootloader on the disk. This is necessary for most Intel Macs.
=item --extra-kernel-args <args>
Specifies additional kernel arguments, <args>, that will be inserted into the syslinux and EFI boot configurations. Multiple arguments should be specified in one string, such as, --extra-kernel-args "arg1 arg2 ..."
=item --multi
Used when enabling multi image copies to avoid boot configuration of a particular image.
=item --livedir <dir>
Used with multi image copies to select the particular image to boot.
=item --compress (default option to use a compressed squash filesystem)
Installs image on a compressed squash filesystem
=item --skip-compress (default for when option --xo is specified)
Installs the operation system into a ext3 filesystem image file.
=item --xo
Used to prepare an image for the OLPC XO laptop and its compressed JFF2S filesystem. Do not use the following options with --xo: --overlay-size-mb <size>, home-size-mb <size>, --delete-home, --copy-home, --copy-overlay, --compress
=item --xo-no-home
Used together with the --xo option to prepare an image for an OLPC XO laptop with the home folder on an SD card instead of the internal NAND flash storage.
=item --noverify
Disables the image validation process which occurs before the image is installed. When this option is enabled the image is not verified before installation on the USB storage device.
=item --skipcopy
Skips the copy of the live image to the USB stick. (Used to repair disk configuration files or while testing the script to avoid repeated and length copy commands.)
=item --overlay-size-mb <size>
This option specifies the creation of a persistent overlay and sets its <size> in megabytes. The overlay is additional storage available to the live operating system if the operating system supports it. The USB storage device must have enough free space for the image and the overlay.
=item --copy-overlay
This option allows one to copy a persistent overlay from a running live image to the new installation. Changes already made in the running image will be propagated to the new installation. B<WARNING:> User sensitive information such as password cookies and activity histories will be copied to the new installation! Scrub this information before using this option.
=item --delete-home
Must be explicitly selected when options --home-size-mb <size> or --copy-home are selected and there is an existing persistent home directory on the image.
=item --home-size-mb <size>
Specifies creation of a persistent home directory and sets its size in megabytes. Note that --delete-home must also be selected to replace an existing persistent home with a new, empty one.
=item --copy-home
This option allows one to copy a persistent home folder from a running live image to the new installation. Changes already made in the running image home directory will be propagated to the new installation. B<WARNING:> User sensitive information such as password cookies and activity histories will be copied to the new installation! Scrub this information before using this option.
=item --force
This option allows one to bypass the user confirmation for deletion of an existing home directory on the target device, if one exists.
=item --crypted-home (default, if home-size-mb is specified)
Encrypts a persistent home directory.
=item --unencrypted-home
Disables the encryption of the persistent home directory.

It depends how you look at it. It was mentioned that JD is heavenly dragon's full power, with seal removed, so that means that Vali that surpassed JD with his Empireo JD should be more powerfull than original Albion?

I need some clarification with Volume 10, chapter 4
Sairaorg just pulled his queen out on the terms that he thought she was going to die? Wait does that mean people can die permantly in the rating game?. I mean, if thats true then how high is the casualty rate in the Pro games ? Wouldnt that make people like Xenovia who use pure light attacks lethal to the game? Wouldnt it also make taems weaker over time, rating games are not treated like a gladiator ring right.
Or was it just Sairaorg didnt want his queen to get seriously injured because it hinted she loved him? I dont think there would be a rating game if people were getting killed, and I assumed when Sairaorg lost his arm, It wouldnt of been permanent because it was in the rating game?
So I am a little confused here at the moment O_O

The whole Rating game is stupid if you think about it.
Here you have a race that is slowly dying out due to drop in birth.
Just because Sairaorg gave an okay for them to use anything they had doesn't mean he gave an okay for you to try and murder someone Issei.
Doesn't his part shows that Issei still needs to grow the F- up? Akeno went and fought Sairaorg's Queen and lost. Were there any 'I-have-a-friend/family-hostage-so-you-have-to-lose' type of threat? No.
Sairaorg's queen showed that she had a stronger ability than Akeno and won fair and square. But Issei comes in with a tantrum, "Wah my friend lost so I'm going to murder this person."
It feels bad considering no one bat an eye when he tried to murder someone, but everyone flies into pure rage if their favorite character loses.

You do now people don't die in the Rating Game, right? Also, it's through the Rating game pieces that they are able to gain more devils through re-incarnation. The Rating Game and the Angel equivalent are restoring their populations much faster than through child-birth.
And Ise wasn't trying to kill her. He just didn't hold back. Ise has a rather obvious inferiority complex, and it doesn't really register with him that his power isn't something normal devils can deal with. And Ise beats himself up about this several times in the following novels.

hey,we said that others underestimate ise a lot,but the own ise if underestimates.what missing to ise is a little more of confidence and the author should give this for ise making he become one high class devil soon and making the vampires respect he until the end of this arc.
is for this that I still think that one of this three vampires(or valerie or ermenhilde or the leader of the carmilla family)will fall in love with ise until the end of this arc.one pureblood vampire in ise harem can give to he more respect for himself.but one of this three will join really in harem only after the end of the developing of the relationships with the girls already known.

Ise rising to High Class may be sooner than later... probably after the current arc...
He is now more aware of his current status especially in the eyes of the outsider...as seen in his monologue...
His 5 consecutive defeat against Saji in a game prove that not all can be handle with brute force and in order to be a high class devil he needs to workout his impulsive behavior... and tactics...
^^^Ise didn't really try to murder the queen of Sairog... if we remember, he did warn her to put all of her magic in defense... or else..., the queen disregard it, Ise loses it them BAM. He attack using the illegal move. The queen may have retire with a LOT of broken bones if she did listen to Ise's advice rather than being forced to quit by Sairog... sine it will certainly kill her. Kinda like the force evacuation of the system (Like what happen to Ise in V5 due to severe blood loss) but since its a 1 hit KO, by the time the body is retrieve after the hit, its already a corpse...

The magicians didn't regard that factor... that those two, Ise and Vali respectively have a monstrous and abnormal growth...
Funny that Indra, a god consider Ise as a possible threat yet lower species just disregard him and belittle him even with the consecutive merits or proof he'd displayed since V1...

Well unless Ise goes against Crom Cruach and the Evil Dragons, we don't know their strengths Ise had a rough time with Grendel which will probably send him down in the training route again since the Khaos Brigade activities have restarted. ISe and the Gremory will once again be in the front line to combat the terrorists. Vol 14 just introduce Ise's power as a Dragon with only the power of his arm. Ise may want to explore with that power and seeing as he know many Dragons already, a teacher isn't hard.

We don't hear that another game takes place and the teleportation device failed to rescue a person in time because the attack, hit, and damage inflicted were too fast and their head rolls off. Want to know why? Because Issei isn't there.
And Ise wasn't trying to kill her. He just didn't hold back.[QUOTE]
If he wasn't trying to kill her than he wouldn't have pulled out an illegal move that would've been a sure to kill. No matter how much emotions are running through him, Akeno was defeated not killed while he went off to use an attack that would've killed someone else.
The girl was lucky he pulled her out. But that doesn't excuse what Issei tried to do.
Thinking about it, I'm sure Issei wouldn't even recieve a slap on the wrist for committing murder in public.

BEIT EL, Israel, Nov. 19 (UPI) -- Israel's Iron Dome defense system successfully intercepted two missiles fired at Tel Aviv.
Israel's Iron Dome missile shield was begun following the 2006 conflict Israel fought with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. During the campaign Hezbollah launched thousands of rockets, causing huge damage and killing dozens of Israelis.
In 2007 Israeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz announced the state-run defense firm Rafael Advanced Defense Systems would develop a new missile defense shield, with Iron Dome becoming operational in 2011.
Iron Dome was deployed in April 2011, downing a missile fired at the southern city of Beersheba. The Israeli military said Saturday evening Iron Dome had intercepted 245 rockets from Gaza during the previous three days, with roughly 90 percent of the attempted interceptions being successful, Arutz Sheva radio reported.
Each Iron Dome anti-missile battery costs about $50 million to install and the Israeli military has five operational batteries, with eight others to come online next year.

FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas baseball team will play 28 games against teams that advanced to the 2013 NCAA Tournament and 35 games at Baum Stadium as head coach Dave Van Horn announced the Razorbacks' 2014 schedule on Monday. "This year's schedule is going to be a good challenge," Coach Van Horn said. "The way I feel about the schedule is we need to be challenged early and often so we can get ready for conference play." Arkansas has advanced to the NCAA Tournament each of the last 12 seasons, one of only seven programs nationally to accomplish that feat. The Razorbacks have advanced to seven College World Series, five Super Regionals and have 26 NCAA Tournament appearances in program history. Along with the 35 games inside Baum Stadium, the Razorbacks will also play in Central Arkansas for the fifth straight year as the Razorbacks face Mississippi Valley State on Wednesday, March 26, at Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock. The game is part of a two-game midweek series vs. MVSU with the game on March 25 being played at Baum Stadium. "This is the fifth year in a row we'll be in Central Arkansas and we're already scheduling again for next year and down the road," Coach Van Horn said. "It's fun for us to go and play in that part of the state. The crowds have been tremendous. Hopefully we can keep that rolling."
Arkansas opens the 2014 season with 10 consecutive games at home. The Razorbacks open the regular season on Friday, Feb. 14, against Appalachian State in the first game of a three-game series. Following the series vs. Appalachian State, Arkansas hosts Eastern Illinois (Feb. 21-23) and South Alabama (Feb. 28-March 2) in three-game series before wrapping up the 10-game home stand with a single game vs. IPFW on Monday, March 3. Following the season-opening home stand, the Razorbacks will hit the road for seven consecutive games, starting with four games in Berkeley, Calif., in a tournament hosted by the University of California. The Razorbacks will face California on March 7 and March 10 with single games against San Francisco on March 8 and Tulane on March 9. The trip to California will be the Razorbacks' last tune-up before SEC play starts as Arkansas travels to Florida to open conference play March 14-16. Other 2014 SEC road series for Arkansas include Mississippi State (March 28-30), LSU (April 11-13), Ole Miss (May 2-4) and Missouri (May 15-17). The season-ending series vs. the Tigers will mark the first time Arkansas has faced Missouri since the Tigers joined the SEC in 2012. Arkansas hosts its first home SEC series of 2014 March 21-23 as the Razorbacks will host Alabama. Along with the series vs. the Crimson Tide, the Razorbacks will also have SEC home series against South Carolina (April 4-6), Vanderbilt (April 18-20), Auburn (April 25-27) and Texas A&M (May 9-11). Arkansas will also be challenged in its midweek games with several quality opponents on the schedule. The Razorbacks will host Nebraska in a two-game series at Baum Stadium April 1 and 2. The following midweek, Arkansas welcomes UNLV to Fayetteville for a pair of games on April 8 and 9. Other notable midweek non-conference games include a home game vs. Stephen F. Austin (April 15), a two-game home series vs. Northwestern State (April 22-23) and a road game at Missouri State (April 29). The 2014 SEC Baseball Tournament will be played May 20-25 at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium in Hoover, Ala. NCAA Tournament play begins May 30-June 2 with the regional round, while Super Regionals will take place June 6-9. The College World Series will be played June 14-24/25 at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Neb.

At the dinner party, Eric's happy spending time with Bridget. Rick observes that it's like Brooke is trying to butter up Eric. Bridget mentions trying to get home more often. Brooke says she and Eric are hoping to have their family closer than ever. Bridget asks about Brooke's and Rick's love lives and then gets choked up over being together. Brooke looks pointedly at Eric and says family means everything to them. Once alone, Eric calls Brooke out on her agenda. She wanted him to remember what it was like. Eric says this is about Katie and Bill, not him. Brooke needs Eric to make this okay. Eric says she's having a Spencer baby and one day she'll want to tell Bill. Brooke tells Eric that Taylor will hurt him. Eric says he'll be a friend to her child, but not his father. He stresses that he's happy and loved with Taylor. Brooke says nothing compares to what they shared. Eric thinks she feels that passion for Bill. Brooke says he's wrong and kisses him.
Brooke makes her move, Taylor and Thomas talk, and Alison visits Maya.
At the Forrester mansion, Taylor talks to Thomas about Steffy wanting to get pregnant again. Taylor says the pregnancy was unplanned, but Steffy and Liam had both begun to look forward to having a family. Talk turns to missing Stephanie, and how Stephanie used to have to deal with Brooke. Taylor says, "Thank God Eric outgrew that relationship a long time ago." Thomas thinks Eric is great; the kind of man who'd do anything for the people he cares about. Taylor agrees. She hasn't been this happy in years.
In Bill's office, he talks to Alison about needing to scare Maya away from Rick. He muses that if the D.A. sees the photos of her and Jesse it will be back to the slammer. If Maya doesn't end it with Rick, he'll send her back.
Carter arrives at Maya's place with coffee. She tells him Rick's been trying to dump Caroline to no avail. Carter asks about the tension he walked in on between her and Bill. She says Caroline's uncle was warning her away from Rick. Carter says he has no right. Maya agrees. She mentions running into someone she used to know at the nightclub, but doesn't elaborate. Later, Alison arrives and asks Maya if the name Jesse Graves means anything to her. Maya threatens to call the police. Alison produces the photo of her and Jesse. "It's a violation of your release...It could land you back in jail if you keep seeing Rick Forrester." Maya realizes she works for Bill, who is blackmailing her. Rick knocks.
Spoilers for Next Week on The Bold and the Beautiful:
Taylor remains unaware of Brooke's agenda.
Brooke's proposition might be one Eric cannot refuse.
Steffy warns Hope away from Liam.

AsiaMedia's focus on global dimensions will be evident on April 27 when it will screen a documentary film by Yahoo! News reporter Kevin Sites about his solo journeys across 22 war zones over a year.
When a critical mass of people get interested in Asia, they start wondering how they're getting their information.
This article was first published in UCLA Today Online.
By Ajay Singh
WHEN PARTS OF ASIA were struck by a devastating tsunami on Dec. 26, 2004, UCLA staffer Angilee Shah got in touch with a Chicago Tribune reporter who had been ousted from Indonesia's disaster-ravaged Aceh province by the Indonesian army battling an insurgency in the area.
As managing editor of AsiaMedia, an online publication based at UCLA's Asia Institute, Shah asked the journalist, Michael Lev, if he would write about his experience. He promptly shot off an exclusive report for AsiaMedia, not only breaking the story about the expulsion of journalists from Aceh but providing AsiaMedia its "first big breakthrough," said Shah, adding exultantly: "The tsunami fueled change at AsiaMedia in a big way."
Originally known as Asia-Pacific Media Network when it was founded in 1998, the publication focuses primarily on news about Asian media — everything from the change in ownership of a Malaysian daily to social, political and economic forces driving media across Asia.
"When a critical mass of people get interested in Asia, they start wondering how they're getting their information," Shah explained. "AsiaMedia takes a look at how Asia is presented."
Working out of a small room on the 11th floor of Bunche Hall, this niche publication is staffed by Shah and four part-time student interns who scour the Internet for relevant news and feature stories five days a week.
A selection of these stories is posted on the publication's Web site (www.asiamedia.ucla.edu), as are stories written by the interns and a string of columnists. Some 1 million readers on average visit the Web site annually, Shah said, adding that most are scholars, journalists, decision-makers and students.
AsiaMedia also reports on some of Asia's most neglected regions. It recently focused on media censorship in Nepal and China, highlighting how Internet bloggers have become the new watchdogs in both nations.
Once, when an AsiaMedia intern wrote a story about Nepalese bloggers, the Reuters news agency ran virtually the same story two weeks later, said Shah. "So we knew we were picking the kinds of stories that resonate with people."
In 2006, UCLA alumnus Arthur Rhodes won an award for new media reporting from the South Asian Journalists Association. Rhodes, an anthropology major, received the honor for writing an unusual article in AsiaMedia on the 2005 presidential election in Sri Lanka.
He reported on a widely ignored aspect of the elections: why the nation's minority Tamils were determined not to vote. Rhodes also broke a story about the murder of a Sri Lankan journalist and documented the adverse effects that powerful international charities were having on local volunteer groups in the tsunami's aftermath.
AsiaMedia's focus on global dimensions will be evident on April 27 when it will screen a documentary film by Yahoo! News reporter Kevin Sites about his solo journeys across 22 war zones over a year. "A World of Conflict" is part of an international experiment in online journalism. The screening, at 7 p.m. in the James Bridges Theater, will be followed by a Q&A with Sites.

The Evolution of the Process Control Engineer
Weve Come a Long Way from the Days When Refinery Operators Used Flaming Arrows to Relight Their Flare Systems, but Even Bigger Changes May Be Ahead
By Ian Nimmo
Of all the changes in the process control industry, none may be more dramatic than the changing role of the "operator." His (or her) job has changed numerous times in response to technological advances, but we may be looking at the greatest change since the industrial revolution—the separation of field and control from operations.
Before you write me off as a wild-eyed crazy, let's step back and see how we've gotten to where we are now.
In 1953, only 100 computers existed in the world. IBM developed the 701 EDPM, which the company claimed was the first commercially successful general-purpose computer. Developed as part of the Korean War effort, the 701 was available to early computer users for $15,000 month.
Process manufacturing embraced this new technology, which would provide integrity for early process control computers, via core memory. The older engineers among us will have fond memories of loading an image and hand-booting the early PDP 11 machines. They always survived a power outage, and data corruption was rare. Since then, with every advance in computing power, the role of process control operators and engineers has changed.
When I started my career, a typical plant had multiple instrument and electrical engineers. However, 20 years later a maintenance manager, typically a mechanical engineer with responsibility for all of the instrument, electrical and mechanical operations, replaced all these people. Today, a new player—the control engineer—rules.
Operators' roles have evolved as well. In the early days, local control shelters accommodated operators, who worked together as a team, sharing all the duties. In some cases, the most experienced operator or chief operator staffed the panel, but this person often had some outside duties too.
The panel operator worked with pneumatic instruments and controllers that provided information through clockwork chart displays. New hires were often "chart changers," whose job every shift was to go along the panel, replace the chart paper and fill the color pens up with ink. But over the years, electronic single-loop, multiple electronic, PLCs and, eventually, distributed controllers replaced this technology.
The roles and responsibilities of panel operators have fluctuated for many years. Now with the popular trend of specialization and centralization, they are finally standardizing. However, for how long is probably a good question.
As the role of the panel operators has evolved, their home, the control room, has also been evolving from the uncomfortable and decidedly "people-unfriendly" brick shelters in the middle of the plant to the modern "theater style" control rooms properly designed for their occupants.
Figure 1. The old-fashioned control room panel wall has been replaced by banks of monitors.
Meanwhile, the roles and responsibilities of traditional field operators may not have changed as dramatically. They, for the most part, still work in buildings in the middle of the process. However, these too are often now custom-designed, blast-resistant buildings with limited controls.
The field operator handles fewer manual operations, as most of the equipment is now fully or semi-automatic. We still have equipment that requires manual starting—big valves that need turning and safety-related equipment that requires manual inspection during startup.
The Control Room/Field Split
Many of those responsible for organizing their process control systems still have mixed feelings about roles and responsibilities and how the work should be split between the field and control room. They often ask "should all jobs be rotated or should specialization and skill divide these roles."
For a better perspective, let's review this evolution and examine what the roles and responsibilities should be.
We also need to put these roles in context. If you have attended one of the popular Operational Excellence seminars (OpX), you will have heard the instructor say that the most important and mission-critical roles in the plant are the process control operator, then the field equipment operator, followed by their shift team supervisor.
The process control operator or console/panel operator is the one person who has the most influence on the success or failure of your production process. This person can make a profit, or be responsible for major loss. He or she can influence product quality and the cost of manufacturing, as they can influence energy usage and the cost of utilities.
A good friend of mine always tells plant managers that these people are so important to you that you should send a limousine to pick them up each morning and take them home at night. You better treat them right while they are at work and provide them with the best environment possible to ensure that they stay awake, alert and motivated for work.
Everyone laughs at this—especially the operators—but behind this joke is an important message, one that challenges using process control operators as janitors and cleaners. Permanently monitoring the process is a best practice. An operator needs to maintain situation awareness, and any distraction, including other duties, makes it impossible to track the process and anticipate abnormal situations.
Through this examination of the evolution of the operator's roles and responsibilities, we can identify some of the gaps in the new practices which many companies struggle with on a daily basis.
At one time, every operator was an outside operator. His or her role was to monitor and control equipment and coordinate maintenance activities. He took samples of the product and tested them for quality and against a specification. She had cleaning and minor maintenance duties, such as greasing and draining lines.

1977 Hall of Honor
Clayton Albert Addie
Of the Class of 1924
Clayton "Kid" Addie excelled in track and football to help Beloit capture several major championships. He captained the 1923 track team which won both the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Relays and the State Meet and tied for the Midwest Conference title. That spring, he was individual high-point man in the state competition, anchored victorious half-mile and one-mile relays teams and established a school broad jump record to go with marks he set earlier in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. His gridiron exploits are equally impressive. While Beloit's 1921 triumphs over Northwestern and Ripon are among the fondest in his memory, Addie's performance as a senior is especially noteworthy. Against Lawrence in 1923, he scored two touchdowns after runs of 68 and 85 yards in a 24-9 victory, thus helping end a dozen years of winless frustration against the Vikings. That season concluded with Beloit not only compiling a 6-1-1 record, but also winning the state and Midwest Conference championships. In his post-collegiate years, Addie became an expert handball player, golfer and skier while applying his economics degree to achieve a successful career in real estate.
Louis Harlin Newtson
Of the Class of 1954
"Lou" Newtson earned eight varsity letters as a scrappy, determined competitor in football, track, and basketball. On the gridiron, he was a constant threat as an accurate left-handed passer, deceptive runner, dependable receiver, and shifty kick-return man for teams that won all but three of their 24 games. He was co-captain, top scorer, and most valuable player his senior year, when he also became a defensive stalwart with the return to single-platoon football. As a junior in 1952, Newtson was the rushing and total defense leader in Beloit's first undefeated team, earning recognition as one of the top 20 backs in the Midwest by sparking an attack that rolled up 200 points against eight opponents. An exceptional pole vaulter, he captained a young but talented track team that won the 1954 Beloit and Carroll Pioneer Relays. He was a three-year basketball standout at forward and guard on clubs posting an overall 52-12 record. A certified public accountant with an economics degree from Beloit and an MBA from Wayne State University, Newtson joins three of his coaches – alumnus Carl Nelson, Herb Hodges, and Dolph Stanley – as a distinguished member of the Hall of Honor.

The role of botanic gardens
Botanic gardens are uniquely positioned to help address the issues relevant to restoring ecosystems. They provide knowledge and expertise in plant taxonomy, horticulture, biodiversity inventory, conservation biology, restoration ecology and ethnobotany – all key elements for achieving successful restoration.
Botanic gardens also collectively serve as a global repository for documented plant material, with at least one-third of all flowering plants maintained in living collections or seed banks. Utilizing knowledge gained from these collections, related herbaria and libraries, and combined with landscape knowledge from field surveys and ecological research, botanic gardens bring the understanding necessary to ensure that restoration leads to adequate taxonomic diversity and incorporates appropriate genetic provenance.
Botanic gardens can therefore restore diverse and ecologically resilient places, avoiding the dangers and pitfalls associated with growing inappropriate plants in the wrong environment.
Botanic gardens are also well-placed to raise awareness amongst the general public of the need for, and benefits that can be derived from, successful ecological restoration projects. The new Ecological Restoration Alliance of Botanic Gardens will thus also address the need for greater political commitment, awareness and participation in restoration work.
Examples of current projects:
Beach restoration increases Hawaiian green sea turtle nesting - Ten years ago, the National Tropical Botanic Garden began an ambitious restoration of the beach and adjacent coastal forest in an area known as Lāwa'i-kai in Hawaii. The project's first goal was to remove the invasive alien grasses, which had crowded out most native plants and hardened the beach's substrate so that the threatened Hawaiian green sea turtle was no longer able to nest. The restoration plan carefully followed fossil and historical evidence to design vegetation that would have existed on the site about a millennium ago – shortly after Polynesian arrival. Evidence from excavations at a nearby cave, as well as 6,000-year sediment cores from the area's own estuary and a dozen other paleo-ecological and archaeobotanical sites around Kaua'i, were combined with present and historical records for plants to generate a very long species list. Many of those plants, including rare palms, trees, and shrubs endemic to the island, now thrive on the three-acre restoration and this restored habitat has resulted in increased turtle nesting activities..
Re-growing Rio - The magnificent 200 year old Rio de Janeiro Botanic Garden has extensive experience in reforestation of the Atlantic Forest of Brazil one of the world's global biodiversity hotspots. Now the Garden is collaborating with Rio municipality on forest enrichment of hills and slopes of the city with endangered, rare, and endemic species. The main goal is to enrich the 10 to20 year old restored forests not only with other tree species, but also with bushes, epiphytes, lianas, herbs from the Atlantic Forest bringing native biodiversity back into the city.
Restoring Kenya's Upland Forest – Clearing species-rich upland forest for tea plantations and associated eucalyptus forests has been going on since the early 1900's. More recently in central Kenya, non-protected forests are felled for charcoal, subsistence agriculture, commercial flower growing and residential development, Less than 2% of the original forests remain in the tea-growing areas north of Nairobi and they have been replaced with plantations of non-native eucalyptus, Australian acacia (Wattle), cypress and pine. Restoration of upland forest at Brackenhurst Botanic Garden (outside of Nairobi) in just 12 years has replaced exotic trees with a 30+ foot tall native overstory that shelters lianas, orchids and a species-rich understory. The garden now has over 1500 species of East African native plants. In addition, only while only about 10 species of birds are supported by the exotic trees, the restored forest is habitat to over 170 species of birds recorded since the project began. It has trained and employed local people, provided livelihoods in an area of high unemployment and is becoming a model for a new East African biodiversity, restoration and hardwood forestry initiative.
Hyperarid Woodlands in Southern Peru - The ancient Nasca people drove themselves to near-extinction by replacing woodlands of the huarango tree with intensive farming practices. Without huarango trees to release moisture to the atmosphere, the local climate became progressively drought-prone, thus dooming the agriculture in this very arid part of southern Peru. Oliver Whaley and William Milliken (Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew) have been working with local people, government and industry to propagate tens of thousands of huarango trees and to then recreate the climate-changing woodlands. For more than five years, school children and their parents have learned about the importance of these native woodlands to their own economic well-being, and have become major partners in re-establishing the woodlands and conserving remnant stands of native vegetation.
Healing a Surface Mine Site in Western Australia - Growing global demand for raw materials will accelerate mining of coal, aluminum and rare earths, especially in Australia. These deposits often lie below species-rich forests and shrublands that are of great conservation value. Kings Park and Botanic Garden in Perth has been working with mining companies to find ways of replacing the soil and forests using cutting-edge science as well as innovations in the mining process. It is now possible to restore over 90% of the plant species found in a mined Jarrah Forest, producing a complex forest structure in 15 to 20 years that is suitable as habitat for rare birds and mammals. Just as important, the restored forest provides a much better watershed for capturing the available precipitation than the forestry-type plantations that were commonly installed in the past.
Integrating restoration into Protected Areas management in Madagascar –Madagascar is widely recognised as a globally important biodiversity hotspot with one of the world's more highly threatened floras. Over the last decade, the Missouri Botanical Garden's programme in Madagascar has incorporated ecological restoration into the design and management of a network of 11 new community-based conservation initiatives established over the last decade throughout the island. Typically this involves reducing pressure on areas of partially degraded forest to facilitate natural regeneration, and where appropriate, planting selected native tree species using seedlings from local provenances propagated in on-site village nurseries. Pioneer tree species are typically used in degraded situations to provide conditions under which species of later successional stages can germinate and develop, complemented by "enrichment" planting with useful, over-exploited native species chosen by local stakeholders. Research on the best adapted species and the best techniques and strategies to use is underway by MBG staff, local collaborators and expatriate volunteers from the Restoring Natural Capital Alliance network, whose Secretariat is based at MBG. Efforts are also underway with local communities to improve livelihoods, develop alternative sources of food and fuelwood, and improve income-generation and thereby reduce pressure on the forests and raise the local standard of living.
Restoring native habitats of the U.S. Midwest – The Missouri Botanical Garden has developed a 2,400 acre (970 ha) reserve, Shaw Nature Reserve, since 1925. Originally intended as a garden-annex and arboretum, from its earliest days "the Arboretum" became known for its native woodlands and wildflowers. Since 1980 its purpose has developed to become an important regional centre for environmental education and conservation of native biodiversity and ecosystems of the Missouri region. Extensive areas of restored tallgrass prairies, wetlands, woodlands, glades (xeric meadows) and riparian areas have been created or restored. An experimental approach to vegetation management practices has been employed, with the aim of developing models and protocols applicable more widely. Management techniques practiced include controlled burning, invasive species clearing with national youth volunteer groups, and aerial spraying of invasive plant species. A demonstration garden featuring over 700 plant species native of the region has been created, and a native plant seedbank is under construction.

Our Klamath Basin Water Crisis
Upholding rural Americans' rights to grow food,
own property, and caretake our wildlife and natural resources.
The US Bureau of Reclamation has awarded a US$843,000 contract under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to Research Triangle Institute to support scientific investigations to evaluate the economic potential for advancing fisheries restoration by removing four dams, and whether it is in the public interest to do so. The dams are located on the Klamath River in California and Southern Oregon.
A broad stakeholder collaborative effort has been underway for several years to address long-standing disputes over scarce water resources and fisheries restoration in the Klamath Basin. Negotiations of two agreements, the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement and the Klamath Hydropower Settlement Agreement, are nearing completion to further the resolution of disputes between conservationists, tribes, farmers, fishermen and state and federal agencies.
The Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement will improve conditions for fish species listed under the Endangered Species Act that may be affected by the Klamath Project including threatened Coho salmon, and endangered Lost River sucker and shortnose suckers.
The Klamath Hydropower Settlement Agreement calls for the analysis of whether it is in the public interest to remove four hydro power dams on the Klamath River. This analysis requires a full assessment of the economic effects of dam removal. This assessment will focus on local, regional, and national economic benefits and impacts. The comprehensive economic analysis of dam removal will study impacts to downstream and other affected communities, including the loss of tax revenues and jobs, changes to the value of regional and local commercial fisheries, other businesses, and national economic values attached to environmental changes associated with dam removal.

Suppose we need a new field to store a book's language, and by default, the books on which we keep data are written in English. We decide that the field will be called language, and will be a code composed of two characters (en by default).
In the Structure sub-page of the Table view for the books table, we can find the Add new field dialog. Here, we specify how many new fields we want and where the new fields go.
The positions of the new fields in the table only matter from a developer's point of view; we usually group the fields logically to find them more easily in the list of fields. The exact position of the fields will not play a role in the intended results (output from the queries), because these results can be adjusted regardless of the table structure. Usually, the most important fields (including the keys) are located at the beginning of the table, but this is a matter of personal preference.
In this case, we choose to put the new field At End of Table, which is the first choice in the menu, and click the Go button:
We then see the familiar panel for the new fields, repeated for the number of fields asked for. We fill it, and this time we put a default value, en. We then click on Save.
This panel appeared in horizontal mode, the default for $cfg['DefaultPropDisplay'].
Vertical Mode
If we set $cfg['DefaultPropDisplay'] to 'vertical', the panel to add new fields (along with the panel to edit a field's structure) will be presented in vertical order. The advantages of working in vertical mode become obvious especially when there are more choices for each field, as explained in Chapter 16 on MIME-Based Transformations.
Let's see how the panel appears if we are in vertical mode and ask for three new fields:
This chapter is from Mastering phpMyAdmin for Effective MySQL Management by Marc Delisle (Packt Publishing, April 2004, ISBN 1904811035). Check it out at your favorite bookstore today.
{mospagebreak title=Editing Field Attributes}
On the Structure sub-page, we can make further changes to our table. For this example, we have set $cfg['PropertiesIconic'] to 'both' to see both the icons along with their text explanation:
This panel does not allow every possible change to fields. It specifically allows:
- Changing one field structure, using the Change link on a specific field
- Removing a field: Drop
- Adding a field to an existing Primary key
- Setting a non-unique Index or a Unique index on a field
- Setting a Fulltext index (offered only if the field type allows it)
These are quick links that may be useful in specific situations. Keep in mind that they do not replace the full index management panel, or the full field structure panel. Both are explained in this chapter.
We can also use the checkboxes to choose fields, and with the appropriate With selected icons, Edit the fields or do a multiple field deletion with Drop. The Check All / Uncheck All option permits us to easily check or uncheck all boxes.
TEXT Fields
We will now explore how to use the TEXT field type and the relevant configuration values to adjust for the best possible phpMyAdmin behavior.
First we add a TEXT field called description:
There are three parameters that control the layout of the text area that will be displayed in Insert or Edit mode for the TEXT fields.
First, the number of columns and rows for each field is defined by:
$cfg['TextareaCols'] = 40;
$cfg['TextareaRows'] = 7;
This gives (by default) the following space to work on a TEXT field:
The settings do not impose a limit other than visual, and a vertical scroll bar is created by the browser, should it be necessary.
Although MEDIUMTEXT, TEXT, and LONGTEXT columns can accommodate more than 32K of data, current browsers cannot always edit them with the mechanism offered by HTML: a text area. In fact, experimentation has convinced the phpMyAdmin development team to have the product display a warning message if the contents are larger than 32K, telling users that it might not be editable.
For LONGTEXT fields, setting $cfg['LongtextDoubleTextarea'] to TRUE doubles the available editing space.

{mospagebreak title=BLOB (Binary Large Object)}
BLOB fields are usually used to hold some binary data (image, sound), even though the MySQL documentation implies that even TEXT fields could be used for the same purpose. However, phpMyAdmin's intention is to work with BLOB fields to hold all binary data.
We will see in Chapter 16, MIME-Based Transformations that there are special mechanisms available to go further with BLOB fields, including being able to view some images directly from within phpMyAdmin.
First we add a BLOB field, cover_photo, to our books table:
If we now Browse the table, we can see the field length information [BLOB – 0 Bytes] for each BLOB field:
This is because the $cfg['ShowBlob'] configuration directive is set to FALSE by default, thus blocking the display of BLOB contents in Browse and Edit modes (and showing a Binary – do not edit warning). This behavior is intentional—usually we cannot do anything with binary data represented in plain text.
Binary Contents Upload
If we now edit one row, we see the warning and a Browse button. Even though editing is not allowed, we can easily upload a text or binary file into this BLOB column.
Let's choose an image file using the Browse button—for example, the pma_logo.png file in the phpMyAdmin/images directory:
We have now uploaded an image inside this field, for a specific row:
If $cfg['ShowBlob'] is set to TRUE, we see the following in the BLOB field:
The $cfg['ProtectBinary'] parameter controls what can be done while editing binary fields (BLOBs and any other field with the binary attribute).
The default value 'blob' permits us to protect against editing of BLOB fields, allowing us to edit other fields marked as binary by MySQL. A value of 'all' would protect against editing even BLOB fields. A value of FALSE would protect nothing, thus allowing us to edit all fields. If we try the last choice, we see the following in the Edit panel for this row:
Chances are this is not our favorite image editor! In fact, data corruption may result even if we save this row without touching the BLOB field. But the setting to remove ProtectBinary exists because some users put text in their BLOBs and must be allowed to modify them.
MySQL BLOB data types are actually similar to their corresponding TEXT data types, with the only difference of being treated as case-sensitive for sorting and comparison purposes. This is why phpMyAdmin can be configured to allow editing of BLOB fields.

{mospagebreak title=ENUM and SET}
Both these field types are intended to represent a list of possible values; the difference is that the user can choose only one value from a defined list of values with ENUM, and more than one value with SET. With SET, the multiple values all go into one cell; multiple values do not imply the creation of more than one row of data.
We add a field named genre and define it as an ENUM. For now, we choose to put short codes in the value list, and one of them (F) as the default value:
In the value list, we have to enclose each value within single quotes, unlike in the default value field. In our design, we know that these values stand for Fantasy, Child, and Novel, but for now we want to see the interface's behavior with short codes. In the Insert panel, we now see a radio box interface:
If we decide to have more self-describing codes, we can go back to Structure mode and change the definition for the genre field. In the following example, we do not see the complete value list because the field is not large enough, but what we entered was 'Fantasy', 'Child', 'Novel'. We also have to change the default value to one of the possible values, to avoid getting an error message while trying to saving this file structure modification.
With the modified value list, the Insert panel now looks as follows:
Observe that the previous radio buttons have changed to a select list because of the longer size of the possible values.
If we want more than one possible value selected, we have to change the field type to SET. The same value list may be used, but now, using our browser's multiple value selector (usually control-click) we can select more that one value:
For the previous example, we would store only the genre codes in the books table in a normalized data structure, and would rely on another table to store the description for each code. In fact, we would not be using a SET or ENUM in this case.

{mospagebreak title=Index Management}
phpMyAdmin has a number of index management options, which we will cover in this section.
Single-Field Indexes
We have already seen how the Structure panel offers a quick way to create an index on a single field, thanks to some quick links like Primary, Index, and Unique. Under the field list, there is a section of the interface used to manage indexes:
This section has links to edit or delete every index. Here, the Field part lists only one field per index, and we can see that the whole field participates in the index.
We will now add an index on the title. However, we want to restrict the length of this index to reduce the space used by the on-disk index structure. The Create an index on 1 column option is appropriate, so we click Go. In the next screen, we specify the index details as shown in the following screen:
Here is how to fill this panel:
- Index name: A name we invent
- Index type: We can choose INDEX or UNIQUE
- Field: We select the field that is used as the index, which is the title field
- Size: We enter 30 instead of 100 (the complete length of the field) to save space
After saving this panel, we can confirm from the following screenshot that the index is created and does not cover the whole length of the title field:
This chapter is from Mastering phpMyAdmin for Effective MySQL Management by Marc Delisle (Packt Publishing, April 2004, ISBN 1904811035). Check it out at your favorite bookstore today.
{mospagebreak title=Multi-Field Indexes and Index Editing}
In the next example, we will assume that in a future application we will need to find the books written by a specific author in a specific language. It makes sense to expand our author_id index, adding the language field to it.
We click the Edit link (small pencil) on the line containing the author_id index and choose to add one column to this index as shown in the following screenshot:
We select the language field on the next panel. This time we do not have to put a size since the whole field will be used in the index:
For better documentation, we should also change the key name (author_language would be appropriate). We save this index modification and we are back to:
FULLTEXT Indexes
This special type of index allows for full-text searches. It is supported on tables of type MyISAM for VARCHAR and TEXT fields. We can use the Fulltext quick link in the fields list or go to the index management panel and choose Fulltext in the drop-down menu:
We want a FULLTEXT index on the description field so that we are able to locate a book from words present in its description.
After the index creation, the index list looks like:
Seeing 1 as the field length here might be surprising. In fact, MySQL does not support the idea of an index length for FULLTEXT indexes: the index is always on the whole field, but this 1 is the value reported by MySQL.

{mospagebreak title=Table Optimization: EXPLAIN a Query}
In this section, we want to get some information about the index that MySQL uses for a specific query, and the performance impact of not having defined an index.
Let's assume we want to use the following query:
FROM `books`
WHERE author_id = 2 AND language = 'es'
We want to know which books written by author 2 are in the es language, our code for Spanish.
To enter this query, we use the SQL link from the database or the table menu, or the SQL query window. We enter this query in the query box and click Go. Whether the query finds any results is not important right now.
Let's look at the header: SQL-query: [Edit] [Explain SQL] [Create PHP Code]
We will now use the [Explain SQL] link to get information about which index (if any) has been used for this query:
We can see that the EXPLAIN command has been passed to MySQL, telling us that the possible_keys used is author_language. Thus, we know that this index will be used for this type of query. If this index did not exist, the result would have been quite different:
Here, the possible_keys (NULL) and the type (ALL) mean that no index would be used, and that all rows would need to be examined to find the desired data. Depending on the total number of rows, this could have a serious impact on the performance. We can ascertain the exact impact by examining the query timing that phpMyAdmin displays on each results page and comparing with or without the index:
However, the difference in time can be minimal if we only have limited test data compared to a real table in production.
In this chapter we covered:
- How to add fields, including special field types like TEXT, BLOB, ENUM, and SET
- How to upload binary data into a BLOB field
- How to manage indexes (multi-field and full-text)
- How to get feedback from MySQL about which indexes are used in a specific query
