Welcome to the concluding part of the series "Using SQLite with PHP 5." As you'll possibly know, PHP 5 comes equipped with a fully-featured RDBMS called SQLite that definitely can make your life as a PHP developer much easier. It's particularly helpful if you want to get rid of MySQL at least for a time while maintaining the data layer of your application completely isolated from the business logic.
Over the course of the second tutorial, I explained several methods that come packaged with the SQLite library and perform different tasks, such as counting the number of rows and fields contained within a specific result set, fetching one row at a time, working with unbuffered queries, and so forth.
If you've read the two previous articles that belong to this series (as I suppose you have), then I'm sure that you realize the great capabilities offered by SQLite. It's especially useful in those cases where you need to work with a decent RDBMS but don't need to appeal directly to the features offered by the popular MySQL server.
Well, at this point you may be thinking that you've learned everything about the cool methods included with SQLite, since the material that I provided you during the previous articles has certainly been abundant.
However, if you think that way, I'm afraid that you're wrong. SQLite has some other methods that can be useful for performing all sort of clever tasks, including the definition of custom functions, finding the IDs of inserted rows, the creation of memory-based databases, and so on.
As you can see, the list of additional features offered by SQLite is really impressive. Therefore, in this last article of the series, I'll be taking an in-depth look at them. This will complete our analysis of this excellent RDBMS integrated with PHP 5.
Are you ready to go over the last miles of this learning journey? Fine, let's get started!
Using the seek() and lastInsertRowid() methods
Moving back and forward across a specified result set is a task that can be performed with minor difficulties when using SQLite, since the library has been equipped with the intuitive "seek()" method, which does exactly this.
With reference to this method in particular, below I developed a simple example that shows how it works. Look at the corresponding code listing, please:
// example using the 'seek()' method
// create new database using the OOP approximation
$db=new SQLiteDatabase("db.sqlite");
// create table 'USERS' and insert sample data
CREATE TABLE users (id INTEGER(4) UNSIGNED PRIMARY KEY,
name CHAR(255), email CHAR(255));
INSERT INTO users (id,name,email) VALUES
INSERT INTO users (id,name,email) VALUES
INSERT INTO users (id,name,email) VALUES
// fetch rows from the 'USERS' database table
$result=$db->query("SELECT * FROM users");
// loop over rows of database table
// display row
echo $row['id'].' '.$row['name'].' '.$row['email'].'
// move pointer to second row
// display row
echo $row['id'].' '.$row['name'].' '.$row['email'].'
displays the following
2 User2 email@example.com
3 User3 email@example.com
As you can see, the snippet listed above shows a simple yet effective implementation of the referenced "seek()" method. First, the script obtains a result set via the respective "query()" method, and then it moves the pointer to the first row. Finally, after doing this, the remaining records are displayed on the browser. Quite intuitive, right?
Okay, now that you hopefully understand how the previous methods do their thing, take a look at the following one, which determines the ID of the last inserted row. One possible usage of this method is demonstrated by the example below:
// example using the 'lastInsertRowid()' method
// create new database using the OOP approximation
$db=new SQLiteDatabase("db.sqlite");
// insert new row into 'USERS' database table
$db->query("INSERT INTO users (id,name,email) VALUES
echo 'ID of last inserted row is '.$db->lastInsertRowid();
// displays the following
ID of last inserted row is 4
As shown above, the "lastInsertRowid()" method is extremely useful for doing what it clearly suggests: finding the ID of the last inserted row. Indeed, if you're anything like me and work intensively with DML statements, you'll find the previous method really handy.
So far, the couple of methods that I covered are pretty straightforward, since they're very similar to some of the MySQL-related PHP functions that you've used probably hundreds of times.
However, there's still more valuable material to review here concerning SQLite's capabilities. Therefore, in the next few lines I'll explain two more methods. The first one can be used for running queries instead of using the previous "query()" method. The second one is handy for counting the number of rows affected after performing a DML operation.
Using the changes() and queryExec() methods
As I mentioned at the end of the previous section, I'm going to show you a couple of additional methods bundled with the SQLite library that can be valuable. They work well for those situations where you want to use an alternative way to run queries, and for determining the number of rows affected after performing a DML statement.
The first method that I'll teach you is "queryExec()." It consists of a simple replacement of the "query()" method that you learned before. Here's how to use it:
// example using the 'queryExec()' method
// create new database using the OOP approximation
$db=new SQLiteDatabase("db.sqlite");
$query="INSERT INTO users (id,name,email) VALUES(NULL,'John
trigger_error('Error performing
If you take some time and examine the above short example, you'll understand why I said the "queryExec()" method can be used as an alternative to the previously reviewed "query()." In this case, the example speaks for itself, therefore I suggest you pay attention to the following code sample. It is much more useful, since it illustrates a basic application of the brand new "changes()" method.
The script listed below shows precisely how you can use this method to calculate the number of affected row after running a DML statement:
// example using the 'changes()' method
// create new database using the OOP approximation
$db=new SQLiteDatabase("db.sqlite");
// insert new row into 'USERS' database table
$db->query("INSERT INTO users (id,name,email) VALUES
echo 'Number of rows modified after the insertion '.$db->changes();
// displays the following
Number of rows modified after the insertion 1
As you can see in the above example, the "changes()" method can be really helpful if you want to know how many rows were affected after inserting, updating or deleting records of a particular database. Of course, this method is closely similar to the PHP "mysql_affected_rows()" function, therefore you shouldn't have too many problems understanding how it works.
All right, at this stage I believe that you've been provided with a neat set of SQLite methods which can be used for tackling different tasks. However, we've not come to the end of the tutorial yet, since there are a few more methods that remain uncovered.
Speaking of that, in the following section, I'll teach you how to use iterators to traverse different result sets, and how to define custom functions with SQLite as well.
Using the create Function() method
As I explained in the previous section, the SQL library has been provided with the ability to work with iterators to traverse a specific result set by using only a typical "foreach" language construct. Certainly, you'll have to agree with me that this feature is really handy, since there's no need to write custom code for iterating over data sets.
To learn more about the use of iterators with SQLite, please have a look at the following example, which shows a simple implementation of this neat concept:
// example of 'SQLite' iterators
// create new database using the OOP approximation
$db=new SQLiteDatabase("db.sqlite");
// fetch rows from the 'USERS' database table
$result=$db->unbufferedQuery("SELECT * FROM users");
// use 'foreach' loop to traverse result set
foreach($result as $row){
echo 'ID: '.$row['id'].' Name :'.$row['name'].' Email :'.$row
/* displays the following:
ID: 1 Name :User1 Email :firstname.lastname@example.com
ID: 2 Name :User2 Email :email@example.com
ID: 3 Name :User3 Email :firstname.lastname@example.com
As you can see, the above code snippet demonstrates how a specified result set can be traversed by using a simple iterator. In this case, the script first obtains the mentioned data set via the "unbufferedQuery()" method you learned before and finally uses a common "foreach" loop to traverse the data structure in question. Simple and efficient, isn't it?
Now that you hopefully grasped the concept that stands behind using iterators with SQLite, it's time to look at another useful method which I'm certain you'll find very handy. In this case I'm talking about the "createFunction()" method. As the name clearly suggests, it's really helpful for creating user-defined functions that can be tied to a particular result set or as part of a WHERE clause.
With reference to this excellent capability, below I coded a basic example of how to use a custom function with SQLite. Take a look a the corresponding code sample:
// example of custom functions
// create custom function
function getRandomID($id){
return rand($id,5);
// create new database using the OOP approximation
$db=new SQLiteDatabase("db.sqlite");
// fetch rows from the 'USERS' database table
$result=$db->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id==getRandomId(2)");
foreach($result as $row){
echo 'ID: '.$row['id'].' Name :'.$row['name'].'
Email :'.$row['email'].'
displays the following
ID: 2 Name :User2 Email :firstname.lastname@example.com
As you'll realize, the above example begins creating the custom "getRandom()" function, which obviously returns a random integer between 1 and 5. After this function has been created, it's used as part of the corresponding SELECT statement to fetch a random row from the respective database table.
Of course, this is only a basic application of using custom functions with SQLite, which means that you can experiment by defining your own, certainly more useful functions.
So far, I covered the most important methods that come bundled with the SQLite library. But I must say I'm not finished yet, since I'd like to teach you another cool feature included with this tight RDBMS.
Remember that in the beginning of this series I mentioned the capability offered by SQLite for working with memory-based databases? I hope you do, because in the last section of this article, I'll show you how to implement this characteristic in your own database-driven PHP applications.
Creating databases in server memory
The last SQLite feature that I plan to cover here concerns specifically the creation of databases in server memory, instead of using the conventional file system. As you can imagine, this type of database can be used (among other situations) in those cases where you need to have at your disposal a fully-structured database relational system, but your data will be rather temporary, at least during the execution of your application.
That being said, defining a memory-based database with SQLite is reduced to code something as simple as this:
// example using memory-based database
// create a new memory-based database
$db = new SQLiteDatabase(":memory:");
// create table 'USERS' and insert some data
CREATE TABLE users (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR
(255),email VARCHAR(255));
INSERT INTO users (id,name,email) VALUES
INSERT INTO users (id,name,email) VALUES
// display number of affected rows after the insertion
echo $db->changes().' rows affected by the insertion
// display ID of last inserted row
echo "ID of last inserted row is: ".$db->lastInsertRowid();
displays the following
2 rows affected by the insertion
ID of last inserted row is: 2
As shown above, a new database has been created in memory by simply specifying the ":memory" argument for the corresponding SQLite constructor. After this process has been performed, I defined a "USERS" table, in addition to inserting some trivial data, and finally displayed the ID that corresponds to the last inserted row.
As I always suggest, try creating different memory-based databases and watch what happens in each case. The process is truly educational.
Final thoughts
We've come to the end of this series. In these three consecutive tutorials, I took an in-depth look at the most relevant methods that come with the SQLite RDBMS, which has been included with PHP 5.
As you learned here, if your database-driven application doesn't require all the features offered by MySQL, or another RDBMS, then this tight yet powerful library is worth considering.

Jessica Ennis-Hill stepped-up her recovery at the London Anniversary Games today (Saturday), but it was Katarina Johnson-Thompson who had a day to remember 12 months after the Olympic opening ceremony was being held in the same stadium.
Often regarded as the future star behind the heptathlon gold medalist, Johnson-Thompson showed that she's becoming a legitimate contender on the world stage after coming first in the long jump in the Diamond League event.
Whilst Usain Bolt and Mo Farah - who also won on the day - have been taking most of the headlines, this moment could be significant in Johnson-Thompson's progression towards an eventual crack at gold in Rio.
That remains three-years away of course, and KJT was much happier to focus on the now rather than looking into the future.
"It's only my second Diamond League appearance. My first one was in the indoors so it's great to do well," said Johnson-Thompson after the event.
"Long jump's my best event and this place is my favourite track to compete at. It feels exactly the same as last year, just not the same pressure because I've just got the long jump. I feel like I just need to build up to more competitions like this and compete on the world scene.
"For Moscow I just want to be consistent in each event. I'm not looking to set the world alight but hopefully I can have a good run."
Moscow will be hosting the World Championships in under a fortnight, and Johnson-Thompson could still be joined by Ennis-Hill after she continued her progress on return from an Achilles injury.
The 26-year-old appeared to be holding back in the long jump, with an effort of 6.16m well below her personal best and only good enough for last place.
However, the 100m hurdles offered much more room for encouragement, with Ennis-Hills finishing fourth in a time of 13.08 seconds. Olympic champion Sally Pearson was the winner, with Great Britain's Tiffany Porter finishing second.
The Sheffield athlete was able to find positives in the performance, and whilst she was disappointed with her overall fitness, things appear to be moving in the right direction. She is yet to decide if she'll travel to Russia, however.
"It's amazing to be back in the stadium and just having everyone's support is incredible," Ennis-Hill told reporters after the event.
"I'm just disappointed that I'm not in the shape and the fitness that I need to be in. It's hard because obviously it's only a couple of weeks until the worlds. I'm running out of time a bit.
"I haven't decided about the World Championships yet. I need to speak to my coach and have a think."
Coach Toni Minichiello was a little more positive, believing another run for his athlete could put her back to where she needs to be for a major event such as the Worlds.
"It's where you'd expect her to start a season, not being an out-and-out hurdler," he concluded.
"I hope it's ring-rust, but there's a need for another race before Moscow. You'd want a time of round about 12.8 and that's do-able."

Finalist #5: Gideon and Tracey's Pocket Knife
Name: Gideon and Tracey
Location: Jersey City, NJ
Size: 530 s/f studio
Original Entry: Click Here
1. Who was your favorite entry and why? (other than your own apt.)
"Our favorite project is #38 Dixie's Vintage Carnival. It's just so original and quirky, a little bit Betsy Johnson a little bit Rout 66 flea bag motel fabulous. Dixie's apartment is the thing that a personal living space should be most of all…Personal…
It is more than just a collection of great old junk, although it is sublimely that, there is an iconoclastic form of curatorship going on there. With the possible exception of the lovely Haywood Wakefield furniture, Dixie avoids collections of the stuff that every body else goes for. She has no Fiesta Ware, or neon, or Elvis Memorabilia, or Lava lamps. That stuff is really beneath such a finely honed sensibility; rather then kitsch, Dixie's use of carnival swag and leopard print achieves a finely honed edge, akin to Pink Goth.
There is something just on the funny side of scary about this place, the parrot cage might have been too Mrs. Havisham, if it were not for the Gnome side tables.
When it comes down to it we just basically love this place, because it is just a little bit kinky and it puts us in the mood for Daiquiris and ukulele music."
2. Why you should be the champ?
"Our project is fun and unusual, it reflects our personalities and it's very much from the heart. We did it on a shoe string budget providing much of the labor ourselves and acting as our own general contractor when we needed plumbers, electricians and cabinetry. Although we had some professional advantage on our team, Gideon is in the design business (Tracey is in trucking,) this was very much a homemade effort.
When we decided to do something this radical, we worried about all the stuff you would expect. What about resale? Will the renovation take too long? Will the experiments fail and end up costing us allot of money to fix? In the end we came to the conclusion that is central to most of the projects entered in this competition…Hey, its 0ny 530 square feet, any risk we take is by necessity a small one.
If the comment threads from this competition are any indication, these days the audience for design seams to break into two groups, the "Yuk its too self-conscious and cold…Do real people actually live there?" camp and the "Gross what a mess…How do you even breath with all that junk chocking your life?" camp. The thing we are proudest of in our design is that way we avoid either characterization…Or maybe offend everyone. Ours is a complete design from concept to detail but the result is warm and colorful, there is room for the stuff of life, family photographs and Gideon's grand father's baseball shirt, as well as funky junk shop finds, and even a shag rug. The result is what a small space should be, cozy and personal.

Last Tuesday, Temple Shalom Emeth President Steve DiOrio blew the ram's horn to gather the congregation. It is called a "shofar" and is used on important occasions, such as on the Jewish New Year and after Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
This time it was used to rally people to participate in the "Ice Bucket Challenge" to raise funds and awareness about ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
More than 20 temple members rose to the B.Y.O.B. (bring your own bucket) and B.Y.O.I. (bring your own ice) occasion. They also remembered member Jeff Kline's mother and member Ann Marie Sagal's mother, who both succumbed to ALS several years ago.
Rabbi Susan Abramson suggested the challenge for a number a reasons. "I wanted to find a way for the temple to do a mitzvah (good deed). It is the temple's mission to participate in Tikkun Olam, helping the world to be a better place. I am always looking for opportunities for us to do this. I was trying to think of a way to get the temple challenged, since I had not yet seen any other temple community do this," she said.
At the end of completing their challenge, the Temple Shalom Emeth participants challenged the members of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Bedford to take the Ice Bucket Challenge.
According to the ALS Association, the Ice Bucket Challenge has taken the nation by storm and so far has received more than $88 million in donations to fund research. According to the association's website, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the brain and spinal chord —and it is always fatal— as the brain loses control to initiate muscle movements such as swallowing and breathing. More than half of the people diagnosed with ALS succumb to the illness within five years.
Since the ALS Association's inception in 1985, it has funded $99 million in research to discover the genetic causes of ALS and to conduct clinical trials for new medicines that may help people live longer, with the ultimate goal of finding a cure.
With more than $88 million in donations pouring in from the Ice Bucket Challenge during the past few weeks, Barbara Newhouse, president and CEO of the ALS Association, said in a statement, "Every day, given this dramatic increase in funding, the scope of what's possible when it comes to fighting this disease has changed. We are simply awe-struck at the incredible generosity that has poured forth to help fight this disease."

Racing in Iran: The 2011 International Tour of Azarbaijan
AZERBAIJAN PROVINCE, Iran (VN) — Many may find it hard to imagine racing bikes in Iran, let alone even visiting the country due to what the media tells you. Cycling in Iran, in fact, is very popular and this is evident in the number of top Iranian road and track cyclists that have been produced over the years. Iran has three UCI-ranked tours on its calendar, including the upcoming Presidents Tour of Iran on May 25.
The UCI-ranked 2.2 Azarbaijan Cycling Tour is in its 26th year and the 2011 edition featured the strongest field ever to assemble on Persian soil. Two big name riders, coming back from drug suspension, Stefan Schumacher and Davide Rebellin, took part, representing the Italian Miche-Guercci Cycling Team.
Other notable riders include former RadioShack rider Daryl Impey, who is riding for MTN-Quebeka before joining the Pro Continential Team NetApp later this mont. Bjorn Thurau, the son of the famous Dietrich Thurau, was at the Azerbaijan Tour representing Team NSP. And the formidable Tabriz-Petrochemical Cycling Team was present, including Mehdi Sohrabi, the leader of the UCI Asian Tour points standings.
Azerbaijan is located in the northwest of Iran. The altitude starts at around 1500m (5,000 feet) and the area contains many majestic snow-capped mountains and wide-open wind swept plains. Although it lacks the iconic old city sites of Central Iran, it makes up for it with is awe-inspiring scenry and the amazing hospitality of the locals. Also be prepared to eat like a Persian king when you come. There are plenty of lamb kebabs and delicious Persian rice. Riders had plenty of fuel to race on!
Iranian riders could be a force to be reckoned with in the world of cycling, if they were given more opportunities to obtain visas for European and other races around the world. The Tabriz-Petrochemical Team took a clean sweep of the overall GC podium to show just how strong they are and keep up the Iranian winning streak at the Azerbaijan Tour for the past seven years.

Combine could be key for players who were injuredby Mike G. Morreale
TORONTO -- Will the 2012 NHL Scouting Combine play a greater role than in past annual evaluation events considering the unusually high number of injuries to top draft-eligible talent this season?
It's very possible. But NHL Central Scouting's Peter Sullivan, who specializes in talent out of the Western Hockey League, believes it might really be as bad you might think.
"Injuries are calculated differently than they were 10 years ago, when there might have been as many but nobody knew they were really hurt [since the medical technology wasn't as advanced]," Sullivan told NHL.com. "Now, they're evaluated so deeply that if there's a slight cause for concern, you have to sit out. Ten years ago they'd play, so to say there are more injuries today than there were before, that's a tough one."
The Scouting Combine began Monday with the initial phase consisting of prospect interviews. Teams will meet with players at their choosing through Thursday, with medical and fitness testing scheduled for Friday and Saturday, June 1-2, at Toronto International Centre. The top-ranked North American skater on Central Scouting's list, Nail Yakupov of the Sarnia Sting in the Ontario Hockey League, has 18 interviews scheduled through Thursday. He is scheduled for his fitness test on Friday at approximately 1:30 p.m. ET.
The injury bug certainly played havoc on the rosters for the 17th CHL/NHL Home Hardware Top Prospects Game four months ago, as seven players had to be replaced for the game due to injury while an eighth -- London Knights defenseman Olli Maatta -- was suffering from the flu. Maatta also was sidelined early in the 2012 World Junior Championship for his native Finland after suffering a concussion.
Unfortunately, the ailments that kept many players out of the Top Prospects Game weren't the only maladies to hit this year's draft class.
A few of the notable injured performers at forward attending this week's Scouting Combine were Yakupov (concussion, back) and Alex Galchenyuk (ACL surgery) of Sarnia, Radek Faksa (concussion) of Kitchener, Mikhail Grigorenko (sprained ankle, shoulder) of Quebec, Martin Frk (concussion) of Halifax, Tanner Pearson (ankle) of Barrie, Jarrod Maidens (concussion) of Owen Sound, Zemgus Girgensons (hip and jaw) of Dubuque, Colton Sissons (concussion) of Kelowna and Thomas Wilson (MCL and broken knuckle) of Plymouth.
Besides Maatta, other defensemen missing time were Ryan Murray (high ankle sprain) of Everett, Cody Ceci (back) of Ottawa, Morgan Rielly (ACL surgery) of Moose Jaw, Slater Koekkoek (shoulder surgery) of Peterborough, defenseman Jake McCabe (severed tendon in finger) of the University of Wisconsin and Griffin Reinhart (knee) of Edmonton.
"Is there a concern with all the injuries we've been seeing … absolutely," Central Scouting's Chris Edwards told NHL.com. "I think the other thing, though, is how much more the teams are paying attention to the health of the player nowadays. The mentality to just play the guys through injury isn't the right thing to do anymore. That might have been the mentality 20 years ago, but not anymore."
Central Scouting Director Dan Marr was asked if all the injuries to top-end players would have an effect come the 2012 NHL Draft next month, perhaps allowing teams drafting lower a better opportunity at nabbing a future star.
"I do think it's unusual to see season-ending injuries so early," Marr said. "Once that happens, you're not able to chart their development or their production and it's unfair to compare them to the players that are still in the lineup, and vice versa. It makes the process more difficult [for Central Scouting], but it's far more difficult for the teams that have to select players because they're going to have to go through the medical reports and rehab reports before they decide where they want to pick the player."
"I can only recall one other time in the last 15 years where this amount of top-end players were hurt in their draft year," Sullivan added. "It depends on doctors' evaluations on the severity of the injuries come draft time. Enough head scouts have seen these players. But it is interesting … could a top-end player fall to a better team?"
In 2010, the Tampa Bay Lightning selected forward Brett Connolly at No. 6 despite a nagging hip injury that limited him to only 16 games with the Prince George Cougars of the WHL in 2009-10. Connolly was No. 3 among North American skaters in Central Scouting's final ranking of North American skaters entering the draft.
"As long as the injuries are not career-threating, then it should not affect their draft status much," Edwards said. "It makes the NHL Combine medical more important. We have viewings on all these guys from summer camps, and the RDO Camp; however, this does not replace regular-season and playoff viewings for making a ranking list. The more you see guys play in their regular situation, the more you know about the player."
In addition to the aforementioned forwards and defensemen, Central Scouting's No. 1-ranked goalie in North America, Malcolm Subban of the Belleville Bulls of the Ontario Hockey League, battled ankle and groin issues this season. He was limited to 39 games but finished with a 2.50 goals-against average and .923 save percentage.
"I don't think [the injuries] will affect where he's going to be drafted," Central Scouting's Al Jensen told NHL.com. "Goalies get groin injuries throughout their career. Maybe this will allow him to be aware with the nature of the style he plays. Malcolm plays such an athletic, quick style. He's very flexible, so when I hear groin, it surprised me. He makes unbelievable athletic saves. I don't believe this will effect where he gets drafted."
Marr feels that if the medical report shows no long-term damage, players are expected to take part in the fitness examinations at the Combine.
"Scouts want to see a player leave it all out there; give it your all and give it everything you've got," Marr said. "It goes toward your argument, if it's between Player A and B, and one player just battled through it and didn't quit, you remember those things. It's those types of intangible aspects that you get to see at the Combine and what could make a difference."

Man Gives Woman Herpes and Eventually $1M in a Lawsuit — Which Hurts More?
Last week a jury ordered a 69-year-old man to pay nearly $1 million in pain and suffering damages from giving a 49-year-old woman a foul case of herpes on their fourth date.
According to the woman's attorney, her client asked the man to wear a condom, and he allegedly agreed, but by the time she realized he wasn't wearing one "it was too late." Later that night in bed, the man took a leap of faith and confessed to her that did have genital herpes, and then he was asked to leave.
Although the man's defense attorney argued that the woman should have known better than to let the man proceed without a condom – insisting that she was "not some little innocent victim," the jury still sided with the woman and gave her nearly every penny she asked for.
As if being sent to the poor house with a raging case of herpes wasn't bad enough, the jury also found the man guilty of committing battery, which incidentally was tossed out of court due to lack of evidence. This whole thing is really a sore spot.
So we ask which is worse — having herpes or having to pay out a $1 million dollars to a person who you gave herpes.

Darien girls lax beat Guilford 15-4 despite Lindley's suspension
Despite the fact that its coach was suspended, ninth-seeded Darien girls lacrosse team defeated No. 8 Guilford 15-4 in the first round of the Class M state tournament.
Superintendent Stephen Falcone confirmed Thursday afternoon that coach Lisa Lindley was placed on administrative leave with pay.
It's not clear at this time whether the reason for Lindley's suspension stems from an incident at the FCIAC girls lacrosse finals between Greenwich High School and Darien High School May 25. During a time-out in the first half of the game, Lindley became visibly frustrated with goalie Caylee Waters and grabbed her by the helmet as she leaned into her. Darien won that matchup 17-14. Sources confirmed Lindley was not at practice all week.
Falcone did not comment on the reason for Lindley's suspension, but confirmed that she continues to teach physical education at Middlesex Middle School despite her suspension from the team. He would not say how long the suspension would last.
Darien High School Principal Dan Haron declined to comment on the matter and Athletic Director Mike Sullivan said multiple times he would not comment.
Lindley, who has been a head coach at Darien High School since 1994, is also the girls lacrosse director at Sono Field House in Norwalk.

Apple/Samsung Verdict Advertising Samsung As A Viable Alternative To iPads & iPhones
from the backfiring dept
Guy: "Wait, so what they're saying is, Samsung is the same as Apple?"Those aren't the only examples in the post either. He notes that these people don't understand the details, but they seem to have gotten the message that Samsung makes at least an equivalent product for a lot less money... and that's making them a lot more interested in Samsung. Once again, it makes you wonder why Apple didn't just focus on competing in the marketplace, where they had a tremendous brand advantage.
Friend: "I know, right? Makes me think twice about how much I paid for my Mac Book"
Guy: "Seriously"
Not 10 minutes later, a husband and wife, same newspaper:
Husband: "... Samsung's iPad is the same as Apple's iPad, and I paid how much for the Apple one? Honey, I told you they were a ripoff", after looking up the Samsung tablet on his iPhone.
Wife: "Oh wow," looking at the screen, "... that's a lot cheaper. Think we can return it?"

After 17 years, the temporary access road connecting Morello Place to Arden Road in Courtenay will be permanently closed on March 15.
The access road closure will affect Morello Place, Lambert Drive and Creekside Commons residents.
Kevin Lagan, director of operational services for the City of Courtenay, advised that the road, built on private property, has remained open all these years thanks to an agreement with the property owner.
"Back when the neighbourhood was developed in 1996, we arranged to install this temporary access road over a private lot to allow traffic to flow onto Morello Place and Lambert Drive," explained Lagan. "This was conditional on the eventual development of other property and the extension of Lambert Drive to 20th Street.
"That work didn't end up taking place until 2011 and 2012. Now that it's done, we must honour our agreement and return the land to the control of the property owner."
Traffic heading into and out of the neighbourhood will now be required to use the Lambert Drive connection at 20th Street. The City is notifying neighbourhood residents, emergency services and utility companies of the traffic pattern change. Signage is also being installed at both ends of the temporary access road.
Lagan noted that preparations to build an additional road connection are in the works. "Later in 2013, a new development on Lambert Drive will include a connection to Arden Road, opposite Slade Road."
Also, any future applications for development at the end of Morello Place would need to include an additional pedestrian connection.
"This is a requirement of our Official Community Plan," said Lagan. "We require walkways at the end of cul-de-sacs in order to provide connectivity throughout neighbourhoods. Our goal is to ensure people have easy access throughout their neighbourhood, whether they're travelling by car, bike or on foot."

Davy Jones
For years--decades!--liking the Monkees was uncool. A shameful secret best kept to yourself or whispered among furtive fellow travelers. They weren't a real band, just some casting-call wannabes assembled by TV producers. The "Pre-Fab Four," an artificially engineered knock-off of The Beatles. That's broadly true--and, in my mind, just put the Monkees about 30 years ahead of their time. Backstreet Boys? N'Synch? Davy was already a hit in the Broadway musical "Oliver." Monkee Mike Nesmith was a genuine folk-rock talent, writing the song "Different Drum" that Linda Ronstadt made famous. They had skills.
Critics complained that they didn't play their own instruments. Studio musicians did do most of the work on their first couple of albums, but the Monkees could play and did for later records and concerts. Even if true, so what? Half the bands in history, including the most artistically respected, relied on hired hands. Rap artists don't play instruments at all. By all accounts, the Beatles themselves liked the Monkees and considered them legit.
Plus, they pretty much invented music videos. That's a key reason for the group's rediscovery in the 1980s: MTV had a lot of broadcast hours to fill and, at the time, not a big library to draw upon. The Monkees had two years of bits like the one above all ready to go. Voila: retro-hip Monkee Renaissance.
The Monkees also had some of the best songwriters of the day composing for them: Neil Diamond, Harry Nilsson, Gerry Goffen and Carole King, Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart. It's interesting; the Monkees song I hear most often on the radio today is one that wasn't a hit in the Sixties, King's sarcastic suburban portrait "Pleasant Valley Sunday." Who knew?
Part of the Monkees' disrepute is wrapped up in the historical disrespect for Pop Music in general. Who's cooler, Neil Diamond or Jimi Hendrix (who briefly opened for the Monkees on tour, until everyone realized what a train wreck that was)? Yet over time people grew to realize that even Pop could be done well or poorly, that good Pop had value, and the Monkees made good Pop. To the surprise of many, even some of us who were fans, their work has stood the test of time.
The Monkees TV show only aired for two seasons. The band survived a while longer, as its members grew more creatively assertive (and, it has to be said, less commercially successful as they did so). In 1968 they starred in the movie "Head," which I've never seen. Co-produced and -written by Jack Nicholson (yeah, that one), it's reportedly a psychedelic stream-of-consciousness disaster deliberately meant to deconstruct the Monkees phenomenon--its artificiality, the hit-making apparatus, the teen heart-throb machine, all of it. Someday I've got to watch this thing. Sounds like it could be more relevant now than ever.
Meanwhile, "Head" provides the clip below of Davy singing Harry Nilsson's "Daddy's Song," just a song-and-dance man doing what he did best. He was born in 1945, making him about 22 when he shot this scene. So young. You may be able to watch it without smiling, but I couldn't.
One of the benefits of losing your youth is not worrying whether anyone thinks you're cool.

I was never a Monkees fan - my musical taste went from Top 40 in the 50s to jazz in the 60s to psychedelia in the 70s, missing pop of their period - but Jones' death sent me to his Wikipedia entry, where I learned he collaborated quite a bit with Sandra Boynton. I Did Not Know That.

I never understood why The Monkees weren't considered "cool." Like the incredibly "in" show Laugh-In, they had a hit NBC series, they had a custom Dean Jeffries car like The Munsters, and their music was top-notch.
Nesmith was always my favorite Monkee - he had hands-down musical talent, and his post-Monkee years (mom inventing White-Out, Mike inventing music video production companies) seems almost like a collection of urban legends.
To this day, I puzzle over the unusual subgenre of musical acts on sitcoms. Gilligan's Island had its episode with The Mosquitos; F Troop had its Bedbugs; The Munsters featured The Standells on one episode; and Batman hosted Chad & Jeremy (darn that evil Catwoman and her voice-stealing gizmo!). I guess the giant loop-through on this one is Mr Jones's appearance on The Brady Bunch - - which just seemed anachronistic. Davy's heyday was long past by that point, and showing up with the Brady family seemed as odd as Cindy Brady's weird desires for Desi Arnaz, Jr. WTH was THAT all about?

Davy was Marcia's prom date in '71, which I didn't think was ridiculously long after the Monkees' peak. The show was still in widespread reruns then, I think. Regardless, I enjoyed the twist on that episode in 1995's "Brady Bunch Movie." Don't know if you saw it, but the conceit was that the Brady family was still stuck in the '70s while the rest of the world had moved on. New-Marcia invited middle-aged Davy to the prom. None of her teenage peers had any idea who he was, but all their mothers standing on the sidelines went nuts.
A lot of people are linking to Davy's recent work singing a penguin song for a Sandra Boynton book. It's pretty sweet: http://youtu.be/h-sGDe-yMKs

Unlike many musicians since 1981 who had a couple of decades of MTV music videos to influence what and 'how' they played (and stood, and snarled, and vamped...), many blossoming young guitarists like myself in the sixties absorbed shows like the Monkees, and Where the Action Is, and Shindig, like parched earth sucks up rain. We were too young to go to clubs (hell, we were barely old enough to stay up past nine o'clock), spent hours by ourselves practicing, and then voila, there were people on TV being what (we thought) we wanted to be, and, because there weren't no such thing as a VCR, every photon from that big ol' tube that showed the fingering patterns of 'real' guitarists was sucked into our collective musician consciousness.
Everything a young musician listens to becomes part of their foundation, and as a sixth grader I was already listening to everything from the Ventures to Henry Mancini (the Peter Gunn riff may be the greatest riff of all time), and my second thought upon hearing of Davy's death, right after saying a brief Buddhist prayer, was that If I had a guitar in my had at that moment I could have played Last Train to Clarksville without hesitation.
Life is trippy, sad, and wonderful.

Now be patient with me, cause I only know so much about computers
However, looking at the icons for the bundles on my Desktop in Windows, they strike me as something that has to be unzipped, which is what the icons in Linux indicated, but it did not have a way to do it.
If I right click on the bundle icons in Windows, I'm not given an option to unzip. Clicking on the icons proceeds with installation; so I was assuming the files were unzipped as part of the process. But now I wonder if the unzipping has something to do with the bundles not installing.
PS- this just went to page two, but this post is a supplement to one I just made at the end of page one.

Redistricting case settled
MADISON, Wis. (AP) – A group of Democrats and an immigration rights organization which sued the state over redistricting have dropped their efforts to determine why Republicans failed to turn over records in the case. Documents filed in federal court say the two sides in the lawsuit say they found no proof that thousands of files deleted from state computers were removed maliciously. The State Journal says the report indicates it could not be determined whether the deleted files were the result of "inadvertence or ineptitude." The report is part of a post-trial effort to find out why the state failed to turn over records to the plaintiffs as ordered by the court. The plaintiffs include the Milwaukee group Voces de la Frontera. The lawsuit was filed after Republicans who controlled the Legislature in 2011 drew district lines benefiting their party.

Abstract: Early Humans in the Americas: When Did They Arrive and Where Did They Come From?
The question of when humans first entered the Americas and by what routes has been one of the most vexing and controversial subjects in American archaeology for over 130 years. We discuss the history of the controversy and offer new evidence from our own field and museum research that suggests humans entered the Americas thousands of years earlier than previously thought. However, the final answer to the question is still elusive and more research is needed.

Next Episode of The Old Grey Whistle Test is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
The Old Grey Whistle Test is a variety music show that aired on BBC 2.The show's focus on "serious" rock music, rather than chart hits covered on BBC1 by Top of the Pops, was emphasised by a lack of showbiz glitter: bands would often perform their songs in front of either the bare studio walls or plain wooden boards (actually the backs of set walls from other programmes filmed in the same studio).The programme hosted many seminal acts of the era, including the first British TV performance of Bob Marley and the Wailers as well as then little-known acts of whom any early footage is now considered precious, such as Billy Joel, Judas Priest (with a long haired Rob Halford), Wishbone Ash, Judee Sill, Heart, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.Whistle Test was also the British television debut of the American glam punk band New York Dolls. Although host Bob Harris derided the group as "mock rock," comparing them unfavourably to The Rolling Stones, their performance influenced the following punk rock scene such as the Sex Pistols and The Clash as well as alternative bands like R.E.M. and The Smiths and the glam metal scene of the 1980s.
Looks like something went completely wrong!
But don't worry - it can happen to the best of us,
- and it just happened to you.

What is an unlocked phone?
An unlocked phone is a mobile phone which can be used on any GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) network with an interchangeable SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card. Regardless of the SIM card's origin, the phone will recognize it and send voice and data over the network. In contrast, a locked phone is bound to a specific carrier's network and is usually offered in conjunction with a contract. An unlocked phone does not require a contract.
What is a SIM card?
A SIM Card is a small removable plastic card which contains a Subscriber Identity Module chip. The SIM Card includes your personal information such as your phone number, address book, text messages and other information. The SIM card also includes a security key with authentication information which identifies the phone on the GSM network.
What is a GSM network?
There are two major mobile phone networks that function within the US: the GSM network and the CDMA network. The GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) network is a mobile phone network used by major mobile phone carriers throughout the world. The CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) network is used within the US and a few additional countries. A phone which functions on the GSM network requires a SIM card.
What are the advantages of an unlocked phone?
Buying an unlocked phone exempts you from signing a contract and locking in service from a single carrier. You can take any SIM card from any carrier and put it in your phone. So if you sign up for service with AT&T and decide to switch to T-Mobile, you can still use the phone that you bought from AT&T. With an unlocked phone, you don't need to wait for your contract to expire to upgrade or change your phone. You won't be charged a termination fee for ending your contract with the carrier because there is no contract. You can purchase prepaid plans so there are no monthly fees.
Certain carriers offer a limited selection of mobile phones. One advantage of an unlocked phone is that you can choose from any of the mobile phones that run on the GSM network and contain an SIM card slot.
If you travel overseas, an unlocked phone is advantageous because you can simply purchase a new SIM card from a carrier where you are traveling to avoid the astronomical carrier roaming charges associated with using a mobile phone outside the US.
What are the disadvantages of an unlocked phone?
When purchasing a new "locked" phone, the carrier often subsidizes the cost of the mobile phone. An unlocked phone does not benefit from the subsidy offered when bundling the phone with a carrier contracted plan. An unlocked phone is limited to GSM network coverage. An unlocked cell phone will not work on a CDMA network.

O'Reilly ambushed by his health care lie -- Now what about that Fox News "zero tolerance" policy?
Blog ››› ››› KARL FRISCH
By now you've likely heard the story. Appearing at a recent town hall meeting, Sen. Tom Coburn responded to a woman who had suggested that under President Obama's health care reform she could be put in jail for not having health insurance, the Okalhoma Republican saying, "the intention is not to put any one in jail. That makes for good TV news on FOX but that isn't the intention."
For a while Fox News was largely silent on Coburn's criticism - we'd expected at least some sort of snarky response.
Then came Bill O'Reilly... and the lies.
On April 13, during an interview with Coburn, O'Reilly repeatedly insisted that "nobody" on Fox News advanced the "jail" assertion. He even laughably said, "we researched" and "[n]obody" on Fox "ever said you are going to jail if you don't buy health insurance." But as Media Matters went on to demonstrate in meticulous detail, Fox has relentlessly pushed the "jail" falsehood sometimes even on O'Reilly's own show.
Later in the week after being confronted with the truth, O'Reilly dug in deeper claiming nobody at Fox had pushed the jail-time falsehood about the "final bill." Talk about spin... there was no jail-time provision in the final bill or the previous House and Senate versions.
Now that we've established that Bill O'Reilly is so easily ambushed by the truth, I thought it would be appropriate to revisit this past November when FishbowlDC posted an internal Fox News memo acknowledging "a series of mistakes on FNC in recent months" and pledging to "quality check everything before it makes air, and we never having [sic] to explain, retract, qualify or apologize again." The memo added that "[m]istakes by any member of the show team that end up on air may result in immediate disciplinary action" and "jobs are on the line here."
The memo in question was written by Fox News senior vice president Michael Clemente. Of course, Fox has made many, many -- truly many -- "mistakes" since November and still seems to be operating with a sense of impunity but the O'Reilly situation stands out for a few reasons.
First, O'Reilly essentially accused a U.S. Senator of making things up when in fact it was O'Reilly himself that was wrong. Second, O'Reilly has been directly contradicted by one of his colleagues, Neil Cavuto. And third, rather than correcting the public record with an apology to Coburn and moving on, O'Reilly has dug in even deeper with more lies on the subject.
I realize Clemente's memo was likely intended to speak more to production staff but aren't the lies spouted by Fox News hosts just as damaging as misleading on-air graphics and video?
What I wouldn't give to ask Clemente about his plans for dealing with O'Reilly's "mistakes?" After all, O'Reilly certainly qualifies as a "member of the show team" and his "mistakes" did "end up on air" so it only makes sense that he would face "immediate disciplinary action" perhaps placing his job "on the line" as well.
We can dream, can't we?
- Attention O'Reilly: Fox hosts were wrong about health insurance jail time last fall... and last week
- O'Reilly's latest bogus spin: Nobody at Fox pushed jail-time falsehood about "final bill"
- Apparently O'Reilly didn't send his talking points to Cavuto
- O'Reilly uses old jail-time falsehood to defend his comments to Coburn
- O'Reilly digs in, falsely claims Coburn didn't have his facts in line
- Contradicting O'Reilly, Cavuto acknowledges Fox pushed health care jail-time falsehood
- O'Reilly's whopper: "Nobody" on Fox said failing to buy health insurance could result in jail time
- Fox prime-time hosts mum on Coburn's slap at Fox

Courtesy Babson Sports Information
BABSON PARK, Mass. - Sophomores David Nole and Thomas Phillips combined to go 7-for-14 with two homeruns, six runs scored, and six RBIs as the MIT Engineers swept a NEWMAC doubleheader at Babson College on Sunday afternoon. Babson entered the game ranked #8 in the New England Region according to the ABCA/Collegiate Baseball NCAA Division III Poll. MIT (5-3, 2-0 NEWMAC) won game one, 4-1, and then capped off the sweep by hanging on for victory in game two, 10-9.
In game one, MIT scored its first run in the top of the second when Nole led off with a double to right and scored on a two-bagger by junior Kevin Wheeler. The Engineers pushed another run across in the fourth, as Philips doubled to left, moved to third on a single by Nole, and scored on a fielding error to make it 2-0. The Engineers' final two runs came in the top of the sixth, as senior Jason Witzberget singled and scored all the way from first on a Phillips double down the left field line. Two batters later, Wheeler plated Phillips with a single up the middle, securing the 4-1 win for MIT.
MIT sophomore Chris D'Annunzio was outstanding on the hill in game one, giving up just one unearned run on four hits while striking out four in seven innings. The only run he allowed came in the bottom of the fifth, when Babson sophomore Bryan Evans led off with a double and took third on an error. He would score two batters later when senior Billy Lucas lifted a sacrifice fly to center, which at the time cut the Beavers' deficit in half, 2-1.
Junior Jon Igoe started and went 5 1/3 innings for Babson, giving up four runs, three earned, on eight hits. Sophomore Matt Barton came on in the sixth and tossed 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief.
Both teams struggled defensively in game two, which saw the squads combine for 13 errors that led to nine unearned runs. With the scored knotted at 4-4, MIT took the lead for good in the top of the fourth, when freshman Stewart Park singled in D'Annunzio for the go-ahead run. One inning later, Nole made it 7-4 when he blasted his first home run of the season over the wall in right, scoring Phillips ahead of him.
Babson got back to within one in the bottom of the fifth, when first-year Peter O'Toole drove in Evans with a single to left and sophomore Kevin McCarthy followed with an RBI double to center that scored Lucas, making it 7-6. However, things fell apart for the Beavers in the top of the sixth, as Babson committed four errors that resulted in three MIT runs. Witzberger recorded the Engineers' only hit in the inning - a two-run single to left that scored freshman Ben Bersanti and sophomore Stephen Toth, as the visiting team took a 10-6 lead.
Junior Steve Tahmoush pulled the Beavers back to within striking distance in the bottom of the seventh when he ripped the team's first home run of the season over the wall in right-center, scoring McCarthy to make it 10-8. Babson then added another run in the eighth to get to within just one, as O'Toole lined a single to center that scored junior pinch-runner Andrew Nodine from second.
Babson threatened again in the ninth, as the Beavers put runners on first and second with two outs. Sophomore reliever Steven Nunez then uncorked a wild pitch that put the tying run on third and the winning run on second, but Park successfully handled a grounder to short by Evans and threw out the Babson sophomore by a half step to end the ball game.
Nole went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs in game two for MIT, while Phillips went 1-for-3 including the team's first homer of the season, two runs scored and two driven in. Sophomore Matt Loper pitched 3 1/3 innings of relief to earn the win for MIT, while Nunez got the last out for his second save.
