I recently finished a computer programming degree for which I used Oracle, but now I'm using SQL Server 2000. In implementing a small Oracle sales and stock-control system, I was using BEFORE and AFTER triggers to update tables such as the order_line table. For example, if an order_line was updated, a BEFORE trigger would fire and add the old quantity value for the order_line to the Product table's Stock column. The AFTER trigger would then delete the new order_line quantity from the Product table's Stock column.Thus, no matter what changes were made to the stock quantity in the order_line, the Products table was correct.
The problem I have is that I can't find BEFORE triggers in SQL Server 2000—only INSTEAD OF triggers. Also, can I use the "old" and "new" value functions in SQL Server 2000 triggers?
As you've noticed, SQL Server's trigger architecture is somewhat different from Oracle's, but you should be able to get the effect you want. I see that you're basically "journaling;" you use the old order value to "zero out" the stock decrement, then apply the new value to reset the stock decrement correctly.
SQL Server gives you two tables, INSERTED and DELETED, that are available only to trigger code. Note that an update places a row in both tables.To do what you want, define a trigger like the one that Listing 1 shows.This code technique should handle order deletes, sku changes within an order line, and quantity updates. Note that Listing 1's code doesn't protect against negative stock balances or handle inserted orders. Hope this helps get you going!

At the end of July, 8,830 video gaming terminals were operating throughout Illinois, and about 225 of them were in the Sauk Valley. The terminals have been legal for less than a year.
Many of the municipalities and businesses in the Sauk Valley haven't seen significant revenues from the terminals. But given the down economy, they say, they're happy to have both the extra money and new customers.
In November 2012, The Associated Press reported that when video gaming was approved, officials estimated it could raise about $375 million per year for the state, and gambling officials had estimated that up to 75,000 machines could be installed statewide within a year.
Gene O'Shea, director of Self-Exclusion Program for Problem Gamblers and who works on the Illinois Gaming Board, said his office is fielding a constant flow of applications
"This is the largest video gaming jurisdiction in the world," he said. "We didn't know what to expect. On this large of a scale, the potential number of locations that could be licensed dwarf any other in the country."
A business, which is allowed a maximum of five terminals, gets 35 percent of the revenue; vendors who supply the machines get 35 percent; the state gets 25 percent; and 5 percent goes to the municipality or county that licenses the business.
The businesses
Cardwell's W&D Tap, 219 First Ave. in Rock Falls, has three terminals, and manager Phyllis Cardwell said new customers started coming in to check out the terminals as soon as they were installed.
Not only are they playing the machines, which benefits the bar, but many patrons also are having a few drinks while they do it, she said, adding that interest has been consistent since terminals arrived.
"I'm hoping for the growth, but I really don't know," Cardwell said. "It's still early. I'm hoping it doesn't slow."
According to the gaming board, Cardwell's had more than $12,400 in net terminal income in July, of which 35 percent will stay with the bar.
For TJ Paone, owner of Blackhawk Lanes, 2325 E. Lincolnway in Sterling, getting licensed and installing the maximum five terminals was an easy decision.
The bar, which is separated from the bowling area, now is busier at night and has new customers, Paone said. The vast majority of those new customers haven't started bowling, though.
The revenue, which Paone said he expected to be minimal, has exceeded his expectations.
"It's a significant amount for us," he said. "It's opened up another avenue for us in terms of bringing in income. The economy has been down for a couple years, and this has sort of stimulated us."
According to the gaming board's July report, the terminals in Paone's business had more than $12,800 in net terminal income.
Paone said he'll put the revenue from the terminals back into his business, in the form of a new roof or lane improvements, among other areas.
Sauk Valley businesses seeing the most revenue from the terminals are not bars. They're two Road Ranger truck stops, one in Dixon, 1801 S. Galena Ave., and one in Rochelle.
The Dixon location, according to the monthly reports available on the Illinois Gaming Board's website, posted a net terminal income of more than $26,500 in July. The Rochelle location had $48,600 net terminal income.
Steve Brooks, general counsel for Road Ranger LLC, said the company had the first licensed truck stop in the state, in Tuscola, and was aggressive in licensing all eligible locations.
"Dixon is doing fine," he said. "We have some other ones that are doing better. But, overall, we're pleased with how it's been going in Dixon."
The Tuscola location had almost $38,900 net terminal income in July, and one of its two Springfield locations had nearly $111,400 net terminal income this past month.
"We weren't really sure what the expectations were going to be," Brooks said. "But it was an option we wanted to try."
The gaming terminals, he said, are similar to the Road Ranger truck spots having a Subway restaurant. It's another service the locations can provide to customers, who are most likely making a stop to rest while on the road.
The cities
Dixon Mayor Jim Burke said allowing the terminals will be good for the city from a financial standpoint, but admitted some people might have a moral problem with it.
However, not having video gaming in Dixon, he said, wouldn't stop people from gambling and could hurt local businesses.
"When [the state] banned smoking from the bars, it was a big hit [to business]," he said, adding that the video gaming could help offset some of those losses.
Rock Falls City Administrator Robbin Blackert said she had heard some negative response from residents when gambling came before the City Council, but it wasn't overwhelming.
The decision to allow Rock Falls businesses to apply for the licenses, she said, was to keep them competitive with businesses in other Sauk Valley cities.
"We projected our revenue to be somewhere around $25,000 [per year]," Blackert said. "If we stay on track, we're going to be ... between $35,000 and $40,000 per year."
Sterling budgeted about $2,000 for video gaming for the year, City Manager Scott Shumard said, which was included in the $21,000 "other sales taxes" line item in the city's budget.
"Honestly, there were a lot of highly inflated numbers thrown out by the proponents," he said. "And we didn't buy into them."
From Sterling's perspective, while the revenue has been minimal, Shumard said, the city has been "fortunate" to have the additional revenue.

The truly memorable ones are not the stunts, but the speeches that touched our hearts.
By: Linnea Crowther
5 years ago
For nearly a century, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has been honoring the actors, directors, musicians, designers, and so many others who make movie magic happen. Over the decades, we've seen hundreds upon hundreds of Oscar acceptance speeches. Given just a few brief moments on stage, it's each winner's challenge to be eloquent, to be properly grateful, to thank all the right people without leaving anyone out. It's a tough gig, one that's hard to do perfectly.
The winners might not all do it exactly right, but their speeches are often memorable. Most lists of the greatest Oscar acceptance speeches remember the over-the-top ones – Sally Field's oft-misinterpreted "You like me," Roberto Benigni's Tigger-style bouncing to the stage, Jack Palance doing one-armed pushups, Marlon Brando boycotting for political reasons.
But to us, the truly memorable ones are not the stunts, but the speeches that touched our hearts. We're focusing on five of the most moving Oscar acceptance speeches today.
5. Ruth Gordon, 1969, "Rosemary's Baby." Ruth Gordon didn't emote or tear up as she accepted her first Academy Award, but her simple and frank opening statement – "I can't tell you how encouraging a thing like this is" – did more than make us chuckle. It conveyed all there was to say about a career that began in 1915 and was finally recognized 54 years later. We loved her speech almost as much as we loved her turn as the film's meddlesome – and ultimately evil – Minnie Castevet.
4. John Wayne, 1970, "True Grit." When the legendary man's man won his one and only Oscar, he offered an eloquent thank-you. And was that a tear or two he wiped away as he accepted his award? We can't say for sure, but Wayne certainly sounded emotional as he remembered the times he had been on the Oscars stage in the past… to accept awards for others. We wouldn't blame him for being a bit overcome as he received an Oscar of his own – it's hard even for us not to feel the huge import of that moment, and we're just the audience.
3. Hattie McDaniel, 1940, "Gone With the Wind." Hattie McDaniel made history as the first African-American actor to win an Academy Award, for her performance as Mammy in "Gone With the Wind." Her speech was heartbreakingly emotional, as she couldn't hold back tears for long after saying, "My heart is too full to tell you just how I feel." It was a watershed moment for the movie business and for actors of color everywhere. And yet, for many fans, the true heartbreak was in the fact that McDaniel had to return to her segregated table for two after accepting the highest honor in her profession.
2. Charlie Chaplin, 1972, Honorary Oscar. One of the most influential stars in Hollywood's history, Chaplin nevertheless was not much honored by the Academy before 1972. He won one special award in 1929 and that was it, despite years and years of prolific and groundbreaking work. After his 1952 exile from the U.S. on the heels of accusations of anti-Americanism by the McCarthyites, Chaplin may have despaired of ever receiving the recognition he deserved. But his return in 1972 was triumphant. When he was presented with the honorary award for "the incalculable effect he has had in making motion pictures the art form of this century," he spoke only briefly, asserting that in the face of such an honor, "words seem so futile – so feeble." But perhaps the audience's record-setting 12-minute standing ovation said it all.
1. Billy Wilder, 1988, Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award. By 1988, Wilder had already won six Oscars and been nominated for 15 more. But a Thalberg Award is a particularly high honor, and it's not surprising that the winner would, like Wilder did, wish to reflect on his time in the movie industry as he thanks the Academy. But Wilder's reflections became so much more than a simple trip down memory lane. With equal parts humor and dramatic tension, Wilder recalled his escape from Nazi Germany and the way that the movies – and one compassionate immigration official – saved his life. It's an amazing story, and it has our hands-down vote for the greatest Oscars acceptance speech of all time.

Dean Johnson Named Michigan Professor of the Year
By Jennifer Donovan | Published
Dean Johnson, the James and Delores Trethewey Associate Professor in Michigan Technological University's School of Business and Economics, has been named Professor of the Year by the Presidents Council, State Universities of Michigan (PCSUM). Johnson shares the honor with professors from Michigan State, Saginaw Valley State and Wayne State Universities.
"Dean Johnson has demonstrated his outstanding teaching ability over the years to many students through the Applied Portfolio Management Program, which he designed and directs," said Darrell Radson, dean of the School of Business and Economics. "We are very proud that his abilities have also been recognized by higher education leaders and professors across our state."
The four Michigan Professors of the Year were judged on student learning, interactions with graduates, experiential learning, academic advising, undergraduate research opportunities, and scholarship on teaching and learning.
"It is great to be recognized with this honor, especially since it is presented for teaching and guiding students," Johnson said. "I know that our Applied Portfolio Management Program (APMP) also had a lot to do with it, and a lot of people have helped me with APMP over the years."
In the APMP, students invest real money in the stock market. Their portfolio now totals more than $1.3 million. They have won the RISE (Redefining Investment Strategy Education) national investment competition three times.
In nominating Johnson, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Max Seel was effusive over the business professor's record of advising, teaching, scholarship and devotion to his students.
"Johnson," he said, "has a genuine concern and compassion for each individual student." His devotion to his students was revealed when he began the APMP program, Seel said.
"APMP was the result of a single, new, untenured professor who took the risk to expend enormous amounts of time to secure the required resources necessary," Seel said, noting that Johnson had "established an Advisory Board of investment professionals" and "secured the physical space, furniture, computers to house the program; acquired the actual money for the students to manage; built relationships with guest speakers; located internships; and many other necessary, ongoing activities."
The APMP students are now housed in the new LSGI Trading Room, with Bloomberg trading platform, thanks to Johnson's leadership and alumnus Joe Dancy.
Johnson has previously won the Michigan Tech Distinguished Teaching Award twice--only the third professor in the history of the University so honored. He is a member of the Michigan Tech Teaching Academy (which recognizes teaching excellence), and has been honored with the James and Delores Trethewey APMP Professorship.
Johnson himself once said, "When I walk into the classroom, I have an hour to make a difference in the lives of those students. . . . I try to find out where they're from and what career goals they have. Once you develop a personal relationship, it becomes much easier to push, push, push them to learn and study because they realize I truly have their best interest at heart."
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.

And to the delight of more than 60,000 fans, that's what he delivered in a two-hour set that kicked off All-Star Week in New York City. Under a clear evening sky, a soft breeze cooled off thousands of music and baseball lovers as they pumped their fists in the air to Bon Jovi classics spanning more than a decade of chart-topping albums. Despite early concerns about capacity, no ticket holders were turned away. The crowd, peppered with Yankees and Mets jerseys, was "mellow and happy," according to the City Parks Commissioner, Adrian Benepe. And the band was excited for the honor to play such an historic event.
"It's the Great Lawn," Bon Jovi marveled backstage before the show. "Simon and Garfunkel, Barbra Streisand, Pavarotti, not too many people ... It's a pretty rarified air to play the Great Lawn and so it's great to be a rock band here."
Longtime Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, who just celebrated his 49th birthday, said the show felt like a culmination of the high points in their career as a band. "It's a real dream," he said.
The show was a dream come true for fans, too, many of whom camped out overnight to get tickets and arrived at the park first thing in the morning to get front and center spots for the concert. "We got tickets at the Staten Island Yankee Stadium," said Keri Hanson, who had been holding onto a patch of grass directly in front of the stage since 10 a.m. "I've been listening to him since I was 12. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Parks Commissioner Benepe was equally pleased. "It's a magical night. We've got a great show, a great artist. We wanted everyone to have a good time and to have the largest amount of people possible without injury to the park and we hit that exact balance. It's the most diverse crowd I've seen, both generationally and geographically, at Central Park. There are grandparents, little kids and people in their 20s and 30s."
Another fan, Marlene Copelow, sported a laminated bundle of photos of her and various friends posing at shows over the years with Jon Bon Jovi and members of the band. "I brought my crew shirt from 20 years ago," showing off a tattered black Bon Jovi crew shirt. "And this necklace is the same one they all wore in the Slippery When Wet tour," she said, holding up a sparkly gold necklace a few hours before the show got under way.
When the moment she had been waiting for finally arrived at 8 p.m., and a thumping bass line accompanied the band to the stage, she jumped up and cheered, along with a sea of like-minded concert-goers. Bon Jovi tore through a rendition of "Livin' on a Prayer" to kick things off, with a screen behind them that occasionally panned back to show thousands of arms in the air and people singing along with the chorus to the band's 1986 hit single. "Come on New York City, are you with me out there?" Jon Bon Jovi asked, raising his own arms above him to pump up the crowd even more. "Let's show the world what we're made of," launching right into another classic from Slippery When Wet, "You Give Love a Bad Name."
As the crowd cheered wildly, he jumped to the band's present repertoire and performed the title track off his latest album "Lost Highway." The band then reached deep back into the '80s to play their first hit "Runaway," from their self-title debut album. The set continued to bounce back and forth between classics and newer material from the current tour, named one of the highest grossing of 2008. Bon Jovi dedicated the new tune "We Got It Going On" to the arena football team he co-owns, the Philadelphia Soul, but even when he was performing that song, his heart was clearly rooted in the Big Apple, inviting cheers and applause at remarks like, "It's Saturday night in New York City!"
"What a way to end up," he added. "We started with ten nights in New Jersey and ended up at Central Park on the Great Lawn with the biggest show in New York."
As Bon Jovi wraps up their Lost Highway tour, the band seems elated about the new album's success. But Jon Bon Jovi says he's also looking forward to getting back home, saying he loves what he does but "It will feel good not to have to dial nine for a cup of coffee."

After Fiscal Cliff, Obama to Focus on Immigration Reform
By Roger Simon
Yet we elect our president to do things, to produce silk purses from sows' ears, and President Barack Obama intends to add to his legacy and make history in his final term.
Sources knowledgeable with Obama's 2013 legislative agenda paint the picture of a man emboldened by his recent success at the polls, freed from the need for re-election and convinced he must take a more activist role in the shaping and passage of legislation.
First, the raising of tax rates on the wealthy is very much on the table. Obama campaigned on raising taxes "on the wealthiest Americans" and feels his re-election gave him a clear mandate to produce that.
If that is part of a Grand Bargain, fine. But he wants it either way. The Grand Bargain would change the tax code to raise rates on the wealthy coupled with "reforms" to Medicare and Social Security. The former will lead to howls from the right, and the latter to howls from the left.
Maybe the howls will cancel each other out, maybe not. The president intends to go forward anyway. He isn't running for anything again.
Reforming Medicare and Social Security needs to be sold to the left wing of his party not as a way to reduce the debt — no balancing the books on the backs of the elderly — but as a way to ensure the solvency of those programs, especially Medicare, which is unsustainably expensive.
A Grand Bargain is not expected to be accomplished by the current, lame-duck 112th Congress. The kind of legislative wrangling necessary, plus the dotting of the i's and the t's, would take most, if not all, of 2013.
What about the fiscal cliff? Some kind of congressional prestidigitation — a down payment, perhaps, that will satisfy the credit agencies and investors — may have to be found before the tumble into the abyss. If Congress is a master of anything, it is a master of delay.
But Obama also wants at least one more historic act in his second term to add to his first-term creation of Obamacare: comprehensive immigration reform.
In 2008, he promised to make it a priority, but failed to deliver. But the 2012 election has revealed a new political math to Congress: Hey, Hispanic votes count!
According to sources, the White House feels it now has a win-win situation on immigration: The Republicans go along with what the White House wants (which would be a Democratic win) or face the prospect of alienating Hispanic voters even further and losing seats in 2014 (which would also be a Democratic win).
In the last few years, even non-comprehensive, relatively noncontroversial immigration measures have failed in Congress. When the Dream (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors) Act failed once again to clear Congress in 2010, Obama instituted his own mini-Dream action in 2012, by deferring the deportation of people who came to the United States illegally before reaching the age of 16, had high school degrees or honorable discharges from the military and were not felons.
But the deferrals will last only two years, do not put anyone "on the road to citizenship" and do not cover those who came here as adults. In other words, Obama's mini-Dream covers only a small fraction of those who reside in America illegally — or, as many of them prefer to say, without documentation.
Now, the White House will quickly push for a comprehensive change in the immigration system that will cover everybody.
Part of the reform includes the usual "get tough" promises: Obama pledges to concentrate on keeping out those who would "do our nation harm," hold accountable those U.S. companies that "hire and exploit undocumented workers" and achieve a "reliable" way to verify whether someone is in the country legally or not. (That last promise is not as easy as it sounds. Even though the government touts its "E-Verify" system, the system produces many false results and is currently used by only a few hundred thousand firms out of the millions of businesses in America.)
In return for the get-tough measures, a pathway to legal status is promised for the 11 million or so illegal aliens already in the country. The pathway is not exactly strewn with roses. Illegal aliens must come forward, register, be fingerprinted, undergo a criminal and national security background check, pay any back taxes, a fee and a fine, learn English and get "in line to become eligible for citizenship" — a process that would take at least 13 years.
It could take much longer. "Illegal immigrants who complete all the requirements of the legalization program will have to go to the back of the line," the White House says, which means those who meet all the criteria still will have to get in back of those who reside overseas and are applying to enter the United States legally.
If all that sounds like a long, tough road, it is meant to. The problem is that many Republicans still think Obama's plan sounds tough without actually being tough. And, they say, when you get right down to it, the whole shebang still amounts to amnesty.
In September, Obama said, "My biggest failure so far is we haven't gotten comprehensive immigration reform done, so we're going to be continuing to work on that."
He blamed those Republicans who had previously had been supportive of reform, but had walked away from it at election time. The election is now over, however, Obama won, and the Democrats picked up seats in the Senate and the House.
And Obama believes the power of the Hispanic vote has never been more evident and that gives him enormous clout in getting immigration reform passed.
The Republicans are not shattered as a party, but they are worried about their future and they can see the handwriting on the wall. It's written in Spanish.

Attention smokers: Have you been putting off quitting because you're afraid you'll gain weight? Do you tell yourself that those extra pounds will be just as damaging to your heart as cigarettes? A new study says it's time to get real and kick the habit.
Yes, American smokers typically gain nine to 11 pounds in the first year after they quit. And yes, those extra pounds are hard to get rid of. It's true that being obese – especially for people who have type 2 diabetes – can lead to complications from cardiovascular disease.
But a study published in Wednesday's edition of the Journal of the American Medical Assn. concludes that those risks are far outweighed by the known benefits of smoking cessation.
Researchers analyzed data from 3,251 participants in the Framingham Heart Study who joined the landmark study as far back as 1971. Doctors checked in with them every four to six years. Between 1984 and 2011, there were a total of 11,148 examinations.

El Presidente Blair?
Not that I'm holding my breath or feeling TOO expectant as to the likelihood of the prospect, but just in case, this is to let the usual suspects know they heard it first on my twitter page.
Can this man stop Farage, Ukip et al? More than a few of us think so.
Jose Manuel Barroso is about to step down as EU Commission President. We just felt an "earthquake" across Europe this last weekend. The multifarious anti-ists regarding the EU project are now no doubt askance with a "why bother?" as this continent searches for a replacement President. Our UKIP MEPs in Britain are probably too busy to notice. They are in full attack mode. Their strategy? To get in there, wreck the joint and leave a note saying "
Kilroy Farage was here".
After the car crash of anti-EU-ism at the weekend and this "Third Man" mention from Christian Thams on twitter…
Schulz says me or Juncker as EU Commission President, not a third candidate. Rumours in Berlin say Merkel looks for 'Third Man'
… I felt it was time to write something.
Like a lot of us, I spent much of the "count" night watching in puzzled bemusement. I thought Mr Thams' tweet timely, and tweeted my own thoughts on it. My tweet went virtually unnoticed. It got 1 RT from @BernardMcEldown and I faved it for future reference:
Will Angela Merkel NOW consider that Tony Blair ("Mr Flash") might be useful as EU Commission President? https://t.co/iuT23YmSb2 #eu2014 — Blair Supporter (@blairsupporter) May 26, 2014
I had actually pre-empted that thought in a reply to Harry Vaughan's tweet, at 1:18am –
And I pointed up the thought again in a reply to Dennis, with the Farage/Blair video link at 2:41am –
Now, as I write, the rumours are getting warmer still. EU Presidents, Prime Ministers, Chancellor Merkel et al are chewing the cud at Brussels tonight. With the realisation that France's position after the EU elections' euro scepticism is even more threatening to EU unity, perhaps to its very future, than is Britain's UKIPism, the time may well have come for Ms Merkel to turn to the man she reportedly derided as "Mr Flash" last time an EU (Council) Presidency post was up for grabs. Word is that she has thrown her support behind Jean-Claude Juncker, the recently defeated Luxembourg prime minister. He too was mooted as a contender in the 2009 EU Council Presidency race.
From Dave Keating at 4:52pm, today, 27th May –
Tony Blair for next Commission president? A meeting with Merkel has sparked all kinds of speculation here at #EUCO http://t.co/iVtCZlNfcq
— Dave Keating (@DaveKeating) May 27, 2014
The complexities of the in-house limited voting for the Commission President and the Commission members themselves will not ease the pain or anger of those who insist there is no TRUE democratic accountability or choice for us mere voters. The principle, as from Treaty of Lisbon days, is that the group of parties with most electoral support has preference for its nominated candidate. However there have been anti-EU votes from ALL sides, left to right. A certain third way Blairite, the original, could span this breadth with comparative ease and incomparable political nous and productive diplomacy. We should remember that across Europe there are more senior politicians in the Blair mould than ever before, notably France's beleaguered President Francois Hollande and Italy's ambitious and new self-declared Blairite Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. Such individuals will throw their thoughts into the ring.
Tony Blair has been all over the media today here at home. From BBC Radio 4's Today (listen here) to BBC's News 24 (here) to Huffington Post (here). There is no doubt his profile is presently on the rise. That may not be due simply to post-election questions hanging over the leadership Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg and David Cameron.
There is little doubt that should a referendum under a future Tory government as promised by David Cameron result in an "OUT" vote, the rest of the EU would be up the creek without a paddle. Whether we Brits like it or not the UK is one of the three main countries in the Union. Angela Merkel will know this better than anyone, as she watches France's keenness on "the project" falter even under a socialist leader like Hollande.
The election of EU Commission & President at a glance [click here]
(by qualified majority)
Clearly nothing will be decided over the foie gras tonight. Today's statement on the Commission President Election at the European Parliament website at 1:19m said:
The candidate of the largest Group Mr. Jean Claude Juncker will be the first to attempt to form the required majority.
From – British Influence, The Campaign to Keep Britain in the EU comes this (uploaded yesterday. No mention of Tony Blair)
Neither of the current frontrunners for the Presidency – the centre-right's Jean-Claude Juncker and the centre-left's Martin Schulz – is inspiring. One or other of these so-called Spitzenkandidats might be fine if the EU needed the status quo. They might be OK if the EU needed another integration drive, as both are federalists. But neither is suited to the task of decentralising power and boosting competitiveness.
This group will surely recognise which inspiring European (and world statesman) IS suited to decentralising power and to boosting competitiveness.
Only time will tell if those with the power to decide on the incumbent for the next 5 years of this important position act wisely. Europe – this is not a time to opt for a second MR NOBODY.
For Europe's future!
You know it makes sense.

BEIJING (AP) — In a face-off between the defense chiefs of China and the U.S., Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told his Chinese counterpart on Tuesday that his country does not have the right to unilaterally establish an air defense zone over disputed islands with no consultation.
And he said America will protect Japan, the Philippines and other allies locked in disputes with China, as laid out in U.S. treaty obligations.
Chinese Defense Minister Chang Wanquan said his country will not take the initiative to stir up troubles with Japan, but warned that Beijing is ready to use its military if needed to safeguard its territory. And he said the U.S. must "stay vigilant" against Japan's actions and "not be permissive and supportive" of Tokyo.
Washington has criticized Beijing's recent declaration of an air defense zone over a large swath of the East China Sea, including disputed remote islands controlled by Japan but also claimed by China. Hagel was in Japan earlier this week, reassuring its leaders of ongoing U.S. support.
In their remarks Tuesday, Hagel and Chang largely aired their countries' well-known positions about the territorial disputes, although it was the first time it was done in China, shoulder-to-shoulder, after nearly two hours of meetings.
"Every nation has a right to establish an air defense zone, but not a right to do it unilaterally with no collaboration, no consultation. That adds to tensions, misunderstandings, and could eventually add to, and eventually get to, dangerous conflict," said Hagel, pointing his finger toward television cameras and photographers at the back of the room, as shutters clicked.
Chang said China stands ready to resolve the disputes diplomatically. But he made it clear that China is always ready to respond militarily to threats.
Chang also complained that the Philippines illegally occupies part of China's islands and reefs in the South China Sea.
He told Hagel, "We will make no compromise, no concession, no trading, not even a tiny ... violation is allowed."
On a broader scale, the meeting focused on how the U.S. and China can build stronger ties, in the wake of years of frosty relations over Beijing's military buildup, persistent cyber-attacks by both sides, and the aggressive Chinese territorial claims.
Washington says it takes no side on the sovereignty issue of the islands but will defend Japan and the Philippines. But it also has refused to recognize the air defense zone or follow China's demands that its aircraft file flight plans with Beijing's Defense Ministry and heed Chinese instructions.
The Pentagon chief also pressed China on North Korea, saying that Washington and Beijing have a shared interest "in achieving a verifiable, irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula."
North Korea has been escalating its rhetoric lately, threatening additional missile and nuclear tests and conducting a series of ballistic missile launches.
Later Tuesday, at the People's Liberation Army's National Defense University, Hagel gave a speech to about 120 colonels and other staff officers, and was more direct, challenging China to play a more constructive role in North Korea.
Continuing to support the Pyongyang regime, he said, "will only hurt China's international standing" and its position in the region.
In the defense university speech, Hagel also pointed to cybersecurity as an area where the U.S. wants the Chinese to be more transparent.
As proof that the U.S. has tried to be more open, he revealed publicly for the first time that the Pentagon gave Chinese government officials a briefing on the doctrine that governs the use of the military's cyber capabilities. And he urged China to do the same.
Chang, when asked about the issue, said the People's Liberation Army abides by the law in its cyber operations and will not pose a threat to others. He added that China "stands ready to deepen the communication with the U.S." on cyber.
The U.S. accuses China's army and China-based hackers of launching attacks on American industrial and military targets, often to steal secrets or intellectual property. China says it faces a major threat from hackers, and the country's military is believed to be among the biggest targets of the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command.
While the disagreements between the U.S. and China were starkly evident during the day's events, there also was an underlying current of slowly growing cooperation.
The two countries interests outweigh their differences, said Chang, adding that "The Pacific is huge enough to hold both China and the U.S."

By Kiki Keane and Rachel Womek
A few blog posts ago, Rachel posted a link to a civil literacy quiz. I just want to take a second and brag about the fact that I got a 100 percent! Go me!
Kiki desires an army of super clones to create a distopia with her as dictator. Sounds pretty scary to Rachel. Run for the hills if you see Kiki's mindless killing machines headed your way! Rachel would be an underground pacifist rebel in this society. Actually, Rachel would be the first to die…
Now that Rachel knows of Kiki's nefarious plans she disagrees. She will foresee the danger…In fact I better start running now!
Okay, now that we have that out of the way we can talk about something a bit more serious.
Kiki is very excited because her grandparents are out of town for the weekend, which means that she has the place to herself! She is going crazy thinking about all the awesome things she can do while the cats are away… She will probably do nothing, but still…
Rachel wishes she had her house to her self…she lives with two of her numerous siblings, two dogs, and an additional foster dog! It's utter chaos! I need some food and a nap right now!

Wayward Bill Chengelis, chairman of US Marijuana Party & lying phony
Someone did the hard work for us on this ass clown who calls himself Wayward Bill who is the chairman of the US Marijuana Party and supposedly spearheaded the pot initiative in Colorado last week. Of course, since he's Vietnam-era aged, he had to claim that he needs pot to treat his PTS from the awful things that the military forced him to do in Vietnam;
Yes, as a personnel clerk, it was his job to cut off ears so the Army could keep count of the North Vietnamese Regulars that they killed. because, you know, counting is too hard for us dumbass infantrymen, we need a clerk to cut off ears for us.
Well, of course, since he's being featured on TAH, you know his story is bullshit. Wayward Bill is really William Alvin Chengelis and he never went to Vietnam. He was a clerk in Germany. There's nothing wrong with that, unless you tell lies about what you did to further a political agenda;
Of course, when he's confronted with his lies, Mr. Wayward is sorry about it, but he still doesn't come clean;
Thank you for clearing the air. I have made a public confession which and the resulting thread are posted below. I take it you are a Combat Veteran. I apologize if I offended you. I never claimed any medal or citations.
Hope this satisfies you:
I have a confession to make. I am a Veteran, a Vietnam era Veteran. I have lied about my combat service. I served in Europe never Vietnam. My story is the story of a good friend of mine. There is some one who went and pulled up my service record and has been posting it on my wall trying to discredit me. I am not sure of their agenda but I need to clean the slate. I am sorry I lied. I told it so many times it became part of me.
So, he still wants people to believe that there were personnel clerks out collecting ears, because it happened to "a good friend of mine". So, I guess he figures that the story is too good to die. But before our hero got Mr. Wayward's military records, he wasn't so apologetic;
I told you yesterday I kept you out of it and not report you to my mob of 8000+. Claire Ryder put two and two together. Now you have to deal with her wrath. She's a member of the Green Party. I like to think of her as THE GREEN HORNET. She is out to sting you and with her connections you are probably ruined in the Veteran community.
Have a nice life ASSHOLE!
I won, you lost. Ha Ha ASSHOLE!
Peace, Pot, Politics,
Wayward Bill Chengelis
Chairman, US Marijuana Party
Chairman, US Marijuana Party of Colorado
Of course, this Claire Ryder person thinks that veterans shouldn't question each other about their military service;
I was married to a vet. my father is a vet. my older brother was killed in Vietnam. I grew up watching them load bomb trucks on Guam. I know a little about Vets too There are "phoneys" everywhere. What you did was MEAN> If you want to call someone out do it in private. These people have enough demons. I have a lot better things to do with MY life then filing FOIA requests to see if people are "phoneys" and how many people do you know that sent ears home? I know people that did and the people they sent them to. Ask Medea Benjamin about it some time. Expose what you want. My job is to help people that need help even if they lie.Do you ask someone with a sign on the corner hey can I file a FOIA request to see if you are avet before I help you? I know Bill is a vet he couldn't get benefits otherwise. His hep c is service related not from drugs. Did they clean the gun they innoculated you with? File away your requests too bad you don't concentrate on doing something KIND
Yeah, my neighbor's cousin's dog was once owned by a veterinarian so I know a real military veteran when I see one. And Medea Benjamin could tell me that it's raining and I'd have to go out and get soaking wet before I believed her. I guess outing a phony isn't being KIND enough to the folks who actually did serve in Vietnam and DIDN'T cut off ears? Those guys are the reason I decided to post about this POS phony on Veterans' Day.
ADDED for Claire Ryder's lawyer; Here's a screen shot of the comment above attributed to Claire Ryder from her Facebook account. That's her avatar, right?

So is Tewbow a WR or RB, next?
Honestly, I don't get why the scouts think he can't play quarterback in the pros. Maybe I just don't know anything about football, but he's a GREAT passer. His arm is strong and I've seen him throw some mind-bogglingly accurate passes. Throw in his strength, size and athleticism and I don't understand how at least ONE team doesn't take a chance on making him into a quarterback. It's worth a shot.
They all say RB. Whatever.
reason enough.
That pics been making the round for years and that is NOT his girlfriend from what I've read. It's just some random chick.

DENVER (AP) — The judge in the Colorado theater shootings said Monday it's too early to decide whether a Fox News reporter should have to reveal her confidential sources or risk going to jail.
But New York-based reporter Jana Winter still has to appear at a hearing in a Colorado on Wednesday, the judge said.
James Holmes is charged with killing 12 people and injuring 70 in a July 20 attack on a suburban Denver theater. Winter wrote a story citing anonymous law enforcement officials as saying that before the attack, Holmes sent a psychiatrist a notebook containing drawings depicting violence.
Holmes' lawyers say Winter's sources violated a gag order. The defense wants Winter to reveal her sources so the judge can discipline them.
The defense also says the credibility of some law enforcement officials could be in question if they are called as witnesses at a trial, because at least 20 officials testified at a December hearing or submitted affidavits saying they weren't Winter's source.
The judge ruled Monday that the credibility issue won't come up unless the notebook is admitted as evidence, and that could depend on whether Holmes asks to change his plea from not guilty to not guilty by reason of insanity.
An insanity plea would give prosecutors access to information about his mental health, and prosecutors have already expressed interest seeing the notebook as part of that information.
Winter is fighting to protect her sources' identities. If she is ordered to disclose her sources but refuses, she could be jailed.
At Wednesday's hearing, Holmes' lawyers are expected to re-question an officer who testified in December that he didn't speak to Winter about the notebook, but who wasn't asked if he spoke to anyone else about it.
The judge ruled Winter must be present.

UM Undergraduate Researchers Visit Capitol
Legislators, UM President learn about diverse research at all four campuses
Some of the state's most inquisitive minds gathered March 1 for the University of Missouri System's annual Undergraduate Research Day at the Capitol in Jefferson City.
A total of 46 students from the university's four campuses discussed their work with their local legislators and other visitors. Each student was selected in a competitive process and recommended by his or her campus, including 20 from the MU campus; two from UMKC; 15 from Missouri S&T; and nine from UMSL.
The students showcased their research from a variety of disciplines, including psychology, biochemistry, computer science and the plant sciences. In addition to visits from their legislators, students also described their work to new UM System President Tim Wolfe, who spent the morning checking out their research posters on display in the Capitol rotunda.
"No other public higher education institution in the state provides undergraduate students with the breadth and depth of research opportunities as the UM System," he said. "All told, we account for 94 percent of all research under way in public higher education institutions across the state. Not only does this expose students to the wonders and possibilities of research, and the importance of discovering 'new knowledge,' it also helps develop them as future scientists and budding entrepreneurs whose work one day could result in new businesses and more jobs, as well as improve the quality of life for our fellow citizens."
Some of the research topics presented at Research Day included improving public health education for HIV; more efficient crop breeding; and developing portable intranet capabilities.
"What we saw here is the beginning of ideas that could lead to important solutions to issues we face every day," said Mike Nichols, UM System vice president for research and economic development. "Our university is fortunate to have one of the nation's most robust and diverse research programs, offering both undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to test their ideas in real-world settings."
Nichols noted that the vast majority of U.S. research—approaching nearly 90 percent—is done in higher education settings—a switch from the latter part of the 20th century, when most research was undertaken by American companies.
In an effort to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship, the UM System in 2010 granted students the rights to their intellectual property developed while enrolled in one of the University of Missouri System's campuses. Unlike many other universities, students may own any copyrightable or patentable works developed during their enrollment as a student and are not required to assign their ownership to the University.
Research has been a part of the mission of the University of Missouri since it became a land-grant university more than 150 years ago.
Although research initially focused primarily on agriculture and applied engineering, the scope of work done across the system's four campuses today is as broad as one's imagination, Nichols said.
Across the four campuses of the University of Missouri System, research funding continues to increase.
Last year, the University of Missouri totaled $330 million in research expenditures—monies primarily coming from outside the state but spent within Missouri, thus creating more jobs.

Most agricultural aviators see little reason to believe terrorists will use ag planes to attack the United States with biological or chemical weapons or use them as flying bombs.
"But no one expected commercial airliners to be used to crash into the World Trade Center (or the Pentagon)," says Randy Hale, a board member for both the National and Texas Agricultural Aviators associations. He flies out of Robbstown, Texas, near Corpus Christi.
"We and the Federal Aviation Administration think we're OK," he says, "but we thought that before. We're doing everything we can to cooperate with them and other government agencies. Our local FAA contacts have been exceptionally cooperative."
He says the national association, with offices in Washington, has worked closely with the FAA to answer questions about aerial applicators and to provide information on pilots.
"We provided license numbers and other information on our pilots so they could crosscheck against suspected terrorists and the hijackers," he says.
Hale thinks it unlikely that an agricultural airplane will be used successfully in a terrorist attack. "We don't carry enough fuel to make it an effective bomb," he says. "And spraying a city with any kind of chemical or biological weapon would not be particularly effective. Heat from the city would create dispersal and penetration problems."
Hale says qualifying to fly agricultural airplanes requires more than a pilot's license. "We also have to qualify for insurance before we can apply pesticides," he says. "If there is a threat of terrorist activity with a crop duster, it will be from outside the industry in a stolen plane."
Hale also believes security around airports where crop dusters are based was already pretty tight before the attack and is even more so now.
"Most of us have always been careful about our airplanes," he says. "We make certain we secure them in the hangars before we leave for the day and do everything we can to prevent anyone from moving or starting them. Pilots who park planes outside hangars are taking out batteries and other essential equipment before they leave them."
Hale says pilots always exercise caution with agricultural pesticides. "They cost too much not to keep rigid controls on them," he says. "But we'll watch a little more carefully now. And we get pesticides in sealed drums from the manufacturer so potential for contamination by terrorists is slim."
Hale encourages agricultural pilots to watch for anyone suspicious around airports. He says the industry is fairly close-knit. "We know everyone in the business around here, and if someone new started hanging around, we'd know it."
Hale says he and other aerial applicators have no qualms about helping the FAA in any way they can. "We're working with the FAA to keep the community from panicking when they see a plane fly over. And we're just trying to drive on and get back to doing our job," he says.
Texas aerial applicators lost as many as eight working days as a result of FAA grounding following the World Trade Center attack, but pilots have made up some of the lost time.
"We're running about two or three days behind," Hale says "and we lost some work because fields dried out and farmers got in with ground equipment to take care of their spray needs. Some pilots in Boll Weevil Eradication zones may have lost more days and some will not catch up because they're that many days closer to a freeze, when applications will be shut down for the season."
He says the economic impact is hard to determine. "We'll lose money but we already had a bad year in south Texas because of the drought. It's been too dry for farmers to need aerial applicators."
Hale also hopes the patriotic fervor that's sweeping the nation extends to the way people support the country's basic industries, including agriculture. "When they think about buying American, they need to consider spending maybe $15 for a shirt made in the United States instead of one for $9 made in Pakistan. That's part of patriotism, too."

Team Maggie Update Day 23
The toughest thing about having your child sick, is that things can be progressing so well, and then something happens that comes along and throws a monkey wrench in the plans.
That was the case this morning, after a great day yesterday. Maggie was having a platelet transfusion this morning, and had a reaction to it, such that they stopped the transfusion and consequently felt pretty awful for a bit.
And here's the report for yesterday
Maggie had a good day on Thursday. Her white count continues to climb but they have now stopped the G-CSF (this is the hormone that boosted the white blood cell production) so most likely in a couple days we will see it start to go back down, which is ok. Her hemoglobin has been 8.6 for 4 days. She's definitely making some red cells if she's not dropping which is so exciting! I'm waiting for today's labs to see where we are
The biggest issues we are having is her blood pressures and oral meds. Yesterday she has very very high blood pressures all day. They gave her an additional blood pressure medication around noon and increased her clonidine patch and her blood pressure still did not lower enough so around 6 or so they had to give her another oral med for blood pressure. They finally came down and although they are still high for her they are much more stable. Hopefully it will stay that way.
She continues to have a very difficult time with oral meds and threw up her evening med Wednesday night. It sounds like our nurses are pushing our doctor not to give Maggie the tube in her nose because they don't think Maggie will react fondly to it (who would??)..so that's apparently going to be a big discussion today (Friday). If she doesn't get the tube she has to learn to take her oral meds. We haven't tried switching her to oral cyclosporin yet and that one is my biggest concern. She HAS to take that medicine twice a day and if she throws it up she has to take it again. It prevents rejection of her new marrow so it's very important and they check her levels to make sure they are level. She's been on a continuous iv drip of it but has to take it orally to be discharged. Well apparently it's the nastiest tasting medicine on earth. Apparently a lot of kids throw it up and it's just a nightmare to get them to not only take it but keep it down. Add to that a very very stubborn and strong willed little girl and its not going to be easy. I'm hoping she will shock us and do great with it.
So, Team Maggie, it's time to spring into action. We need to pray that Maggie can stomach this oral cyclosporin. We have to pray that she can gag her way through it, so she can be discharged to the Neeley House. We have to pray that she doesn't need the nasal tube, and can develop a bit of an appetitite!
On a good note, the family continues to be showered with letters and gifts, and for that they are eternally thankful. As Lauren says, she wishes she could respond to everyone right away, but as you can imagine, it's taking all of her energy to deal with the day to day recovery and healing process.
Don't forget the Team Maggie Fundraiser this Monday at Miguel's Mexican Restaurant in Bangor. All the info is HERE.
Check out the cool signed autograph print Maggie received!

GMC Terrain
Are you craving for the massive punch of tight bass?
Do you expect your car to provide superb sound quality?
What does music mean to you?
With a Pioneer Premium Audio System you'll experience the same sound quality as you would with a home entertainment system. With live recordings, you'll feel like you are standing in front of the stage, and your passion for your favorite artists will be satisfied even while driving --
Pioneer – we don't just reproduce sound, we inspire your passion for music.
Music as it was meant to be heard: That's our mission and our passion.
Pioneer's sophisticated audio system provides rich premium sound with crystal clear high frequency tweeters, live staging center channel speaker exclusively designed for this system, and deep rich bass from an 8" dual voice-coil subwoofer.
Pioneer is a global car audio maker with the number one aftermarket car audio sales in the U.S. today.*
* Source: Intellect
8-Speaker 250 Watts
DSP Amplifier (Digital Signal Processing)
Pioneer's sound professionals tuned the audio system to provide the perfect acoustics for the GMC Terrain. The DSP (Digital Signal Processing) amplifier delivers tight, powerful bass and rich high frequency sounds. In addition, the system controls the timing of sounds to the driver's ears and makes it possible to hear with precise reproduction. It alters the volume between the right and left speakers and creates a spacious and immersible sound environment for the car.
3.5" Center Speaker
The 3.5" center speaker is only available in the Pioneer Premium Audio System (not available on the base audio system). The center speaker provides accurate and precise reproduction of vocals, bringing you even closer to the artists' emotion and talent. Feel the artist's passion. Hear their voices. With the Pioneer Premium Audio System, your car will become your personal entertainment cocoon..
Our engineers took precise acoustic measurements and positioned the tweeters on the front A-pillars so that high frequency sounds are delivered to your ears smoothly. This allows you to hear the high frequencies that add fullness and tension to music's most elegant sounds—silky jazz vocals, an acoustic guitar's picking, a piano's first strike—which lesser audio systems cannot reproduce.
Front 6.5" Low-Mid Range Speakers
The front 6.5" low-mid range speakers are located slightly higher than the typical position on the front doors. This creates a larger sound stage at a higher level resulting in the perfect stage for live music.
Rear 6.5" Full Range Speakers
The rear 6.5" full range speakers ensure that rear passengers enjoy the same audio experience as the driver and front passenger.Pioneer's sophisticated audio system provides rich premium sound with crystal clear high frequency tweeters, live staging center channel speaker exclusively designed for this system, and deep rich bass from an 8" dual voice-coil subwoofer.
8" Dual Voice Coil Subwoofer
The 8" Dual Voice Coil subwoofer in a 15 liter enclosure supplies a foundation of music that is powerful and rich in bass. The subwoofer is located in the rear corner of the vehicle to produce even more dynamic bass. The bass sound is the energy source in music – You will start the morning listening to the fresh energetic tight bass, which will help you shift from an off-mode to an on-mode. Morning will never be the same with the Pioneer Premium Audio System. Feel the difference.
Active Noise Control
Engine noises can be distracting when listening to music or just soaking in some long awaited peace and serenity after a tiring day. The Active Noise Control (ANC) system continuously monitors the cabin for noise disturbance with or without the radio on. It minimizes noise and enables the driver to listen to music more clearly or, with the music off, find that hidden inner solitude.

Debbie Bliss Rialto Lace - Jade (39) - 50g - Product Description
Debbie Bliss Rialto Lace is part of the enormously successful Rialto family of Debbie Bliss yarns, originally started with Rialto DK, which was launched way back in 2007. The range has now grown to include Debblie Bliss Rialto Lace, Rialto 4 Ply, Rialto DK, Rialto Aran and Rialto Chunky. All Debbie Bliss Rialto yarns are 100% Extra Fine Merino Wool Superwash, and are cleverly spun to be as soft as can be!
Debbie Bliss Rialto Lace is a delight to knit with - it is so fine and soft - and with excellent yardage! It consists of a perfectly rounded strand of yarn that knits up evenly with the trademark clear stitch definition of all Debbie Bliss yarns. Popular for both knitting and crocheting. There is full pattern support in the Debbie Bliss Rialto Lace book, with designs for all the family.
Debbie Bliss Rialto Lace is available in a comprehensive range of shades, and Debbie launches new shades every year, while also dropping older shades out of the range, which helps to keep things fresh and current. We stock every single colour and shade of Rialto Lace that Debbie Bliss produces, so if we don't have it, it is most probably because Debbie has stopped making it! Supplied in 50g balls, Debbie Bliss Rialto Lace knits to a gauge of 33 stitches over 50 rows on 2.75mm needles, and there are approximately 390m / 426yds in every 50g ball - it goes a long way!

This scan was just run after installing Windows 2003 SP2 onto a fresh install of Windows 2003 R2 (SP1) with all available critical/security udpates. Unfortunately, I didn't scan this box before applying SP2. I just installed this server today and just wanted a couple of baseline security checks.It was possible to crash the remote host by sending a specially
malformed TCP/IP packet with invalid TCP options. Only the version
2.6 of the Linux Kernel is known to be affected by this problem.
An attacker may use this flaw to disable this host remotely.
Solution: Upgrade to Linux 2.6.7

The remote host is running Microsoft Windows 2003 Server

This scan was run from a default install of Nessus for 3.0.5 for windows. Installed and updated today. The only thing that was modified from default scan was to enable all plugins instead of just safe plugins.
Seems that tenable wants to move people to Linux from Windows 2003?
Anway, thought it was a bit funny so I wanted to share it. It's really not that funny... I'm just getting very sleepy and right about now, anything is amusing.
