text: Colorado-born eleven year old Marnie McBride (Vivien Endicott Douglas) is mourning the loss of her beloved mother as she settles into her new home in Scotland with her widowed father (Jason Connery), who takes her to a run-down junk shop on her eleventh birthday. There, she is given a box of toy animals by a mysterious old man (Peter Mullan), which spring to life (they are voiced by Rik Mayall, Siobhan Redmond, Alan Cumming and Simon Callow) the next morning. She soon learns from these creatures that they are on an important quest to find an ancient book that holds a dark magical power within its pages, and need to find it before the evil shape shifter, Toledo (Tony Donaldson) does first. Marnie reluctantly offers to help, but finds she has her own fair share of problems to deal with, as she tries to make some friends (Krystina Coates) at her new school, as well as put up with the classroom bullies (Maxi Moffatt, Sean Young and Fergus Nimmo).

My guild has a player with a longish name which includes a special character and nobody is really sure how to pronounce it. On TS one night, one of the guildies made several humourous attempts at trying to get this poor player's name right, and eventually said: "Kere... Seeeera... Cira... Wait. I've got it!.... George."If your name is a bit long, chances are your friends will shorten it in order to save writing time. You can fight it, but it is going to make you sound like a bit of an ass, so you may as well embrace it. Check your name for whatever is the likely shortcut people will adopt.
So yes, keep in mind what people are likely to call you when naming your character :P

PRELOAD ADJUSTMENT— On some Works shocks a threaded preload is standard. This allows the adjustment of the ride height of the motorcycle. The preload is changed by turning a threaded nut down towards the spring (higher ride height) or up away from the spring (lower ride height). The nut is a right-hand thread. CHECKING RIDE HEIGHT— 1. With the bike unloaded on the side stand and the shock fully extended, have an assistant measure from a point at the axle (center point) to a point on the frame, fender or bodywork directly above it. Record this measurement. 2. With the bike off the stand and the rider in the seat, bounce on the suspension and let the bike settle. Have the assistant measure from the same two points. Subtract the second measurement from the first. HM CRX50 / BAJA & ATK 50MX INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT TIPS Continued on next page. #HM50 – 5/27/99 #HM50 – 5/27/99 To Front Valve Mounting channel Spacer Flange Shock eye Top View of Shock Mount Fig. 1 Top view of upper shock mount. The flange on the shock bushing must face toward the spacer. The valve should point toward the front of the bike Fig. 1 Top view of upper shock mount. The flange on the shock bushing must face toward the spacer. The valve should point toward the front of the bike 3. The amount of settle, or "sag" is a function of the wheel travel. It should only be between 1/4 and 1/3 of the total travel. 4. If the difference is less than the minimum, reduce the spring preload. Measure the distance again starting with Step 2. Adjust again if necessary. 5. If the difference is more than the maximum, increase the spring preload. Measure the distance again starting with Step 2. Adjust again if necessary. Note: If the ride height is too low, the shock will bottom unnecessarily, resulting in a harsh ride. If the ride height is too high, the shock will "top out" too easily when rebounding from a bump or under hard deceleration. NITROGEN PRESSURES IN EMULSION SHOCKS CAUTION: The pressure in these shocks cannot successfully be checked. Concerns with the gauge volume and the gas volume in the shock body create a situation where you cannot accurately determine what pressure was in the shock. In addition when the pressure is lowered (i.e. checking the pressure) the gas and some of the shock oil escapes into the gauge. It is possible to lose a large percentage of the shock oil by depressing the core of a charged shock to the atmosphere. Please note that in order to check the pressure, some of the gas must escape and fill the gauge assembly. The volume of the gas pocket is about half the size of your thumb, so a very small volume change results in a large pressure drop. Because the gauges' volumes vary, it is not possible to deduce the actual pressure in the shock prior to attaching the gauge. Therefore it is imperative that any attempt to check pressure be accompanied by the capability of refilling the shock. In other words: If you don't have a nitrogen source handy, don't check the pressure! PRESSURIZING EMULSION SHOCKS The pressure setting for Works gas shocks is 250 p.s.i. of dry nitrogen. To pressurize a shock with some residual pressure in it, bring the gauge manifold up to 250 p.s.i. and depress the core with the T-handle. This will either equalize the pressure or refill the shock without transferring oil from the shock into the gauge assembly. The best gauges for this purpose screw on to the valve and incorporate a T-handled core depressor to isolate the shock from the gauge. This allows a leak-free separation once the desired pressure is reached. For simplified operation, an extra valve is provided for the filling apparatus, allowing pressure adjustment with the gauge in place. Works offers a suitable gauge and filling manifold. Most motorcycle shops that deal with dirt bikes can pressurize the shock

By Megan Bond, KF15, Ecuador
Yesterday, as I left the office of FODEMI for the final time I felt as if I could not find the words to describe what I was feeling. Both the English and the Spanish languages had failed to provide me with a word that could capture the feeling of happiness and sadness that coexisted rather uncomfortably. There have been some serious ups-and-downs in my summer as a Kiva Fellow in Ecuador. I felt inspired and happy when I met some incredible Kiva borrowers, including an entrepreneur that I had helped fund. But, at other times, I felt frustrated or homesick or like an outsider in the organization and in life in this new country. Sometimes these opposite emotions happened in closer proximity that I'd like to admit. Yet, as I walked down the sidewalk in Ibarra, I wondered about these feelings and struggled to come to terms with how I felt. Was I happy? Yes. Was I sad? Yes!
I must turn to another South American nation to describe the feeling I have about leaving what has become my home and the people who have become my family in Ecuador. Brazilians have a word that aptly sums of my life right now: saudade. Saudade encompasses a somewhat sad feeling of incompleteness, especially when moving away from a place or thing. Some people say the word saudade also extends to feeling happy and sad at the same time. That's exactly where I am right now.
Wonderful people have come into my life this summer more so than any other extended stay I've had in a foreign country. I left behind host parents in Spain, a host family in Mexico, and a village full of neighbors and friends in Peru and Bolivia yet my feeling of saudade has never been this powerful. It was the connection to the much larger world of microfinance on the Kiva network. It was the connection with the community of Kiva lenders. Most of all, it comes from knowing that Kiva is all about connections. Lending is connecting. Now as I transition from my life as Kiva Fellow back to my life as Kiva lender, these connections will remain clear. Although I still may be going through the mixture of emotions that mark the end of this journey. As the Kiva Fellows Program's 15th class comes to the end of their time in the field, this same feeling of saudade may be felt from Ecuador to Uganda to the Phillipines but, as always, we're connected.
Megan Bond is Kiva Fellow working with the new partner FODEMI in northern Ecuador. For more information on FODEMI, visit FODEMI's partner page or English website.

Severe weather warnings have been issued across the UK as Yorkshire prepares for another deluge of rain.
Parts of the county can except 50-100mm of water throughout Tuesday with Cumbria, which is still reeling from flooding around Christmas, facing up to two inches by the end of the day.
The Met Office, which has issued yellow "severe" warnings for Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, has warned communities to prepare for some flooding.
The Environment Agency has put flood alerts in place for the Rivers Aire and Calder, with the areas around Sowerby Bridge and Hebden Bridge at risk and an incident room set up in Leeds.
The Calder was one of the worst affected areas last month.
Levels on the Aire are forecast to peak later on this evening. The alert says: "The current forecast is not indicating that rivers will reach flood warning levels. We are however, expecting washlands in the Upper Aire Catchment to start to fill."
On the Calder, "alert triggers" at Walsden, Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd are expectred to be reached from lunchtime onwards.
Weather warnings are in place across Wales, Scotland, Lancashire, Cumbria, Yorkshire and Devon and Cornwall, as the remnants of Storm Jonas, which blanketed much of the east coast of America in deep snow, sweep in from the Atlantic.
A Met Office spokeswoman said: "Further north, across Scotland and northern England, the remnants of the US storm are likely to cause severe gales - of up to 70 mph in Scotland - and bring 20-40mm of rainwater by Tuesday afternoon, with up to 60mm in exposed areas.
"In Wales, Yorkshire and south-west England, rain will reach around 30-50mm and up to 80-100mm in higher areas, mainly Wales. Locations along the Irish Sea coast can also expect some severe gales.
Environment Secretary Elizabeth Truss has chaired an emergency meeting in order to co-ordinate the Government's response to the expected rainfall, which could be as much as 100mm (3.9ins) in hilly areas.
Scores of flood alerts have been put in place and the Environment Agency (EA) said areas already affected by record river levels, including Cumbria, Lancashire and Yorkshire, were likely to be at risk of flooding as heavy rain throughout Tuesday and into Wednesday could cause river levels to rise and drains to flood.
Ms Truss, who chaired a COBR committee last night, said the military were on standby and pumps had been deployed in order to deal with any flooding as she attempted to reassure "anxious" flood-hit communities.
Rain and south-westerly gales are expected to persist through Wednesday, and a further band of heavy rain is forecast for Friday, according to the Met Office, with yellow warnings already in place for parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, north-east England and Wales.
Lancashire, Cumbria and Yorkshire were among the areas worst affected last month by Storm Desmond, which ruined thousands of homes and businesses and forced residents to leave flooded properties.

I've spent today becoming familiar with LiveCycle Data Services 3.0 and am excited by the direction the product is going in. You're going to hear a lot more about model driven development from us and I think LCDS 3.0 is a product that 1) makes full use of the Flash Platform and Flex's capabilities and 2) shows what it takes to build a genuine rich Internet application.
One issue I ran into though was getting a MySQL database to work with the Tomcat installation of LCDS 3.0 so I wanted to quickly blog the steps I went through. The instructions here were hugely helpful and I wanted to break them down for an LCDS-specific install of Tomcat
- First you need to get the MySQL drivers for Java which are available here. As of this post the most recent drivers are version 5.1.
- Copy the
mysql-connector-java-5.1.8-bin.jarfile into the
lib/directory of your tomcat install (/Applications/lcds/tomcat/ by default).
Once that's copied, open the xml file for your specific server inside of the
tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/ directory. In this case, I'm using the default
lcds server, so I need to change
lcds.xml. You'll also see the other servers that come with LCDS 3.0 like
lcds-samples.xml and
Copy this code into that file anywhere inside the
Context tags and replace {databaseName} with the name of your database, and change the other {} variables accordingly.
<Resource name="jdbc/{databaseName}" type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://{host}:{databasePort}/{databaseName}" username="{username}" password="{password}" />
Now you're all set! Once you've got RDS set up on your LCDS 3.0 server you'll be able to see the MySQL database and start using it for your model driven development.

The Pizza Test: What Execs Are Saying About The Super Bowl
It's the biggest sporting event of the year, the biggest TV event of the year, a closely-watch catwalk parade for the advertising industry, and many other things. So obviously corporate leaders are watching closely, and not just at the game. In earnings calls over the last couple of weeks, a number of bosses discussed what the Super Bowl means for their companies. Here's a few highlights.
Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne hopes to company's more lively new image — driven home by its Kanye West-soundtracked commercials for the Dodge Dart — will take another step forward on Sunday:
We are in a completely different path in terms of a recovery of the brand and the repositioning of Chrysler. And so to be perfectly blunt, I think, we're over-investing right now to — we're over-investing compared to the other guys about — with our brand. And I — we know where we started our life back in 2009. And I think we've earned a lot of good will by providing a dramatic improvement in the quality of our products and by launching what we've launched. I still think that we need to continue to pound the ground on this and to really be noticed much more than we have. We have taken, as you well know, some unorthodox approaches to the introduction of the brands in the U.S. market. Hopefully, we'll be able to continue that with a Super Bowl positioning that we're taking on Sunday.
Dominos Pizza chief information officer Kevin Vasconi talked up the company's online ordering systems, which are taking an increasing amount of the company's orders every year, and save the company a bunch on labor costs ("computers don't get sick, they don't get hangovers"). But the real test of the system's resilience comes this weekend:
The other thing that's really important is capacity planning. We do semi-annual capacity planning and the cool part here is we run it up to Super Bowl levels, right? So twice a year I test my system to Super Bowl levels, which is our highest volume day of the year, and just to make sure that we can handle the load.
Carl J. Chaney, CEO of Hancock Holding Co., owner of about 300 bank branches in Louisiana and Mississippi, thinks the Super Bowl is very good news for the region, and for his banks:
As you may know, New Orleans is hosting Super Bowl XLVII next weekend. A team from the West Coast and one from the East Coast and all the fans, corporate sponsors and media will be in New Orleans and other cities along the Gulf Coast, spending money and enjoying some good Southern hospitality. And when Super Bowl is sandwiched in between the 2 weekends of Mardi Gras, many businesses in our markets should be doing extremely well right now.
Before I open the call for questions, I would like to remind everyone about the economic impact these events could have on New Orleans and the Gulf Coast region. A study done by the University of New Orleans, commissioned by the Super Bowl host committee, indicated that the economic impact from the Super Bowl alone should be over $400 million, not including all of the local improvements and upgrades that have occurred in New Orleans recently. The combined economic impact of Mardi Gras and the Super Bowl on the Gulf Coast region is expected to exceed $1 billion. That's a pretty good way to start 2013 in the heart of our franchise.
And finally, Brad W. Buss, CFO of Cypress Semiconductor, didn't have a lot of positive news to share about a year when revenue fell by 23%. But for the Silicon Valley crowd, regardless of anything else, 2012 has one positive legacy moving into early 2013, he said:
I'm glad this year is done and behind us. And the only good thing that I've seen so far is that San Francisco is going to the Super Bowl.

There are a few things missing on the Apple iPad and one of them is a keyboard. I know, I know there is a virtual keyboard, but some folks are just old fashioned and I'm one of them. I love having a keyboard that I can actually feel the buttons on. Another good reason to have a keyboard is to take the wear and tear off your iPad! Touch screens are only good for about 1 – 2 million touches and then they start having issues. Why not beat on the wireless keyboard that you can replace and costs less than $100? You can use it for any device that has bluetooth really but it is designed specifically for the iPad.
As you can see the case was designed to match the iPad exterior. It's made of a pretty tough aluminum so it isn't going to crack or get beat up. The aluminum is pretty light so it doesn't add a whole lot of weight to the iPad and that's pretty nifty because it has a qwerty keyboard in there as well.
The keyboard has a row that you slide your iPad into, then you lean the iPad back onto a little support stand that pops up. The one issue I have with the entire unit is the stand because it is deceptively flimsy feeling although I have to say it has not shown any indication that it is going to break on me; which is suprising yet refreshing.
The setup is a breeze on this Zaggmate. You literally go into your iPad and enable bluetooth. Then you turn it on and click the little sync button on the keyboard. After a few seconds your iPad will find the keyboard and you click on name of it on your iPad to connect it. It will then tell you to type a password into your keyboard. You do that and it's sync'd up. You will never have to go through that process again unless you switch to another iPad.
The batteries on the keyboard last forever. I mean it, I have used it like 100 times and I have yet to charge it. (Now that I said that I'm sure I'll have to go charge it soon LOL!! Murphy's Law).
A few things I've found this useful for.
- Typing (LOL!!) it's true though, even if you are a fan of the virtual keyboard it still takes up valuable screen real estate and on something small like an iPad that can make the difference between being able to see everything you need to and not.
- If you are a nerd, system administrator, or anyone else that needs to RDP into a Windows based computer you will find this to be absolutely irreplaceable. I mean it. You can use any of the apps that have the virtual keyboard support to do it. When you engage your RDP connection you can hit the virtual keyboard button and presto you are using the bluetooth keyboard in an RDP session on your iPad. Now that is very cool and talk about saving time!
- Look like you know what you are doing with your iPad. If you have a keyboard it says "I'm tech-savvy and I know how to bring this thing to its knees". (Just think of me walking around the corner in Barnes & Nobles with my glasses, my pocket protector, my ipad w/zagg mate, in slow mo, with that BOW BOW CHICKAAAAA music. You know what I'm talking about; tough guy style!). I go up to the Starbucks counter and say "I'll take a Venti Coffee Black" with that death stare from nerd hell.
Anyway for $99 it's a great gift and you don't need to be a nerd to love it. Protect your iPad and give yourself more options; it's like leaping a tall building in a single bound. 🙂

I have been trying to send a command string to my domotics web server which is connected to a bus and then to my LAN. The command that has to be sent to the web server through the bus is a string like this: *1*1*52## where 52 is my room's power point address, and the second "1" of the command is an on switch status (0 stands for off). So the light of my room is get switched on. My webserver IP adress is: 192.168.1.36. My goal is writing the string to the server to execute commands as well as reading from that I wrote some Java Code but the program neighter reads nor writes from/to the web server. I am very frustrated about that.
Here is the code:
Any help will be appreciated!import java.io.*; import java.net.*; public class ClientExample extends Thread { ClientExample() { Thread t = new Thread(); t.start(); } public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException { String str; String ip = null; String Command = null; int port; ip = "192.168.1.36"; port = 80; try { Socket s = new Socket(ip,port);//creating socket object System.out.println("port: " + s.getPort()); OutputStream outputstream = s.getOutputStream(); InputStream inputstream = s.getInputStream(); BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputstream)); PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(outputstream, true); System.out.println("Connection status: " + s.isConnected()); System.out.println("Reading from socket...."); do{ str=in.readLine(); if (str!=null) System.out.print("str "+str); } while (str!=null); // Thread.sleep(5000); Command = "*1*0*52##"; // Thread.sleep(5000); System.out.println("writing to socket...."); out.write(Command); System.out.println(("Command: " + Command)); System.out.println("check for errors : " + out.checkError()); System.out.println(out); in.close(); out.close(); s.close(); } catch (IOException e) { System.out.println("an error occured"); } } }

Missing the Supermodel
The Movie Star is dying. Good Taste is dying. The Supermodel died a long time ago?
Back in the day, we worshipped models. Victoria Beckham's imminent triumph on the cover of Vogue is making me nostalgic for days past when it wasn't Jennifer Aniston's face on fashion magazines but the real stars of the runway.
Linda, Naomi, and Christy. They called them the Trinity. It wasn't just the photograph, it was also the walk. And the individuality.
When Andre Leon Talley screams IT'S A FAMINE OF BEAUTY, HONEY! MY EYES ARE STARVING FOR BEAUTY! this is what he means.
It was more than just the three. Cindy Crawford was not spectacular on the runway but her pictures…her pictures and her presence were stunning. And Tatiana. Even Stephanie Seymour. And Helena, Karen, and Claudia, and Yasmeen Ghauri…
Those Versace shows!!!
Once upon a time they'd all walk out and you knew them by first name. Not today.
I've just spent half an hour on Youtube watching these videos.
Anyway, this is Leeeeenda in New York today on shoot for W Magazine. Too much Madonna on those cheeks.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — If nothing else, San Jose's 3-0 home loss to the Chicago Fire on Wednesday should serve as a great PSA to their fan base: If you're going to ride on the Quakes Playoff Bandwagon, please fasten all safety belts. The trip could get very bumpy, very quickly.
Coming in 13 points out of the final playoff spot and with four teams to pass, Chicago was supposed to be just a speed bump for the surging Quakes.
Instead, after being unable to crack the Fire's youthful back line in the first 35 minutes, San Jose seemed to lose their way, eventually suffering their first home defeat since July 31.
"A lot of guys said it when we came in (before the game), that we've got to keep our foot on the gas," Quakes center back Brandon McDonald said. "We're not guaranteed to be in the playoffs yet."
That elusive first postseason berth since reinstatement in 2008 got a little further away Wednesday. The Quakes (11-8-6) dropped to eighth place as Colorado (11-7-8) , 4-1 victors against Philadelphia, moved up to sixth and Seattle slid by on San Jose's suddenly worsened goal differential.
SEE: Playoff standings
"We said from the beginning, preparing for this game – it doesn't matter about their record, it doesn't matter that they probably won't make the playoffs," Quakes goalkeeper Jon Busch said. "Unfortunately, I think we were a little casual tonight."
San Jose came out looking to build on their 3-2 win in Toronto on Saturday, a game in which they flashed some of their most cohesive offensive play of the season. A number of early half-chances culminated in a free back-post header for Chris Wondolowski in the 23rd minute.
The ball was stopped short of the goal by the hand of rookie Fire defender Kwame Watson-Siriboe, but referee Abiodun Okulaja ruled the contact incidental, and despite a demonstrative response from the fiery Wondolowski, the Quakes never really regained their focus.
"The hand ball, that's a game-changer, if we get the PK," McDonald said. "But we can't dwell on that. We've got to keep playing for 90 minutes."
Wondolowski disagreed with the notion that the Quakes were looking too far ahead after a 5-1-1 stretch put them in good shape with regards to the league table.
"We kept the same mentality," Wondolowski said. "We're all a pretty loose group. It's part of our character, and I think that's one of the reasons why we have done well, is that we don't get uptight. It might have looked like that because we were lacking in that final third at times."
Nevertheless, coach Frank Yallop said he could tell from early on that his starting XI – unchanged from the Toronto match – was not gelling in the same manner on Wednesday.
"After 10 minutes, I was like, 'This is not a good performance by us. We'll be lucky to get out with a draw,' " Yallop said. "Once we got scored on, we didn't really look like we were going to get back in the game. So it was a little disappointing."
On the one hand, the Quakes won't have long to wait to try to wash away the taste of defeat. San Jose travel Thursday to Columbus for a Saturday match against the Crew.
On the other hand, it's a third match in eight days, with Yallop's preferred XI having started both of the first two games. And San Jose aren't talented enough to get results in Ohio unless they're outworking the opposition.
"Hopefully it's a wake-up call," Busch said. "We were feeling good about ourselves, coming off a good win up in Toronto and the team's playing well. And sometimes you do need a wake-up call that you can't just show up every game and get a result.
"Any team in this league is capable of beating anybody. It doesn't matter about the table, where teams are in the table. If you don't show up and put 100 percent effort in, things like that happen."

text: I recently had the wings removed from my CTSW for inspection. I'd told the guys doing the work that there would be 60-70L fuel in the tanks. They called me to let me know that when they drained it, it all went into two 20L cans and they estimated about 35L. I was very surprised as I never run it this low due to the issues discussed above, so took more fuel with me when I went to collect it. As soon as I saw the level in the sight tubes I knew that the dipstick reading would be higher than 35. Sure enough, the dipstick figures indicated a total of about 62L. I knew the sight tubes were unreliable, but I thought the dipstick readings were a bit more accurate than this. Anyone else found this?

This steamy soup of Lady Peas with Pearled Barley, Carrots, and Onions may be one of the most pleasurable foods I've had the joy of eating. As promised in the original article touting lady peas, these lovelies were as dainty as could be.
If peas were people, Lady Pea would be decked out in a lacy Victorian gown and elbow-length white gloves while her dirty white trash cousin Black-Eyed Peas sips Papst in a trailer park. That's the best way I can describe the complete difference in texture and taste.
The best part? I bought a bag of lady peas at the Clarksville Farmers Market (while visiting my boyfriend's parents over the weekend) for $2! In Memphis, market vendors charge $6 a bag because they know people are willing to shell (no pun intended) out the big bucks for the fancy lady pea. And now that I've had a taste, I think I'd pay the $6 as well.

ODBC is an Application Programming Interface (API) that allows you to connect to a data source (e.g. an MS Access database).
Create an ODBC Connection
With an ODBC connection, you can connect to any database, on any computer in your network, as long as an ODBC connection is available.
Here is how to create an ODBC connection to a MS Access Database:
- Open the Administrative Tools icon in your Control Panel.
- Double-click on the Data Sources (ODBC) icon inside.
- Choose the System DSN tab.
- Click on Add in the System DSN tab.
- Select the Microsoft Access Driver. Click Finish.
- In the next screen, click Select to locate the database.
- Give the database a Data Source Name (DSN).
- Click OK.
Note that this configuration has to be done on the computer where your web site is located. If you are running Internet Information Server (IIS) on your own computer, the instructions above will work, but if your web site is located on a remote server, you have to have physical access to that server, or ask your web host to to set up a DSN for you to use.
Connecting to an ODBC
The odbc_connect() function is used to connect to an ODBC data source. The function takes four parameters: the data source name, username, password, and an optional cursor type.
The odbc_exec() function is used to execute an SQL statement.
The following example creates a connection to a DSN called northwind, with no username and no password. It then creates an SQL and executes it:
Retrieving Records
The odbc_fetch_row() function is used to return records from the result-set. This function returns true if it is able to return rows, otherwise false.
The function takes two parameters: the ODBC result identifier and an optional row number:
Retrieving Fields from a Record
The odbc_result() function is used to read fields from a record. This function takes two parameters: the ODBC result identifier and a field number or name.
The code line below returns the value of the first field from the record:
The code line below returns the value of a field called "CompanyName":
Closing an ODBC Connection
The odbc_close() function is used to close an ODBC connection.
An ODBC Example
The following example shows how to first create a database connection, then a result-set, and then display the data in an HTML table.

Comparative Indo-European linguistics: an introduction
J. Benjamins Pub., 1995 - 376 sider
The book gives a comprehensive introduction to Comparative Indo-European Linguistics, the first to appear in English. It starts with a presentation of the languages of the family (from English and the other Germanic languages, the Celtic and Slavic languages, Latin, Greek and Sanskrit through Armenian and Albanian) and a discussion of the culture and origin of the Indo-Europeans, the speakers of the Indo-European proto-language, who are considered to have lived in what is today the Ukraine.The book gives an introduction into the nature of language change and the methods of reconstruction of older language stages, with many examples (from the Indo-European languages). A full description is given of the sound changes, which makes it possible to follow the origin of the different Indo-European languages step by step. This is followed by a discussion of the development of all the morphological categories of Proto-Indo-European.The book presents the latest in scholarly insights, like the laryngeal and glottalic theory, the accentuation, the ablaut patterns, and these are systematically integrated into the treatment.While the book presents a large amount of material and discusses many principles and the relevant terminology, it is written in a very readable and lucid style. Use of the book is facilitated by an appendix on phonetics, a glossary, full indexes, and an extensive bibliography. The book can be used as a first introduction to the field, and at the same time brings the reader to the current moment of research.

ROCHESTER — As of this week, Economic Development Manager Karen Pollard no longer serves as a Rochester deputy city manager.
Pollard's salary has lowered by approximately $7,200 a year due to the change in her title, according to documents provided by the city manager's office.
City Manager Daniel Fitzpatrick said Pollard is still the city's economic development manager, but is no longer one of the two deputy city managers. She had been promoted to the deputy city manager position within the past two years.
Pollard's salary, which was $92,853 a year under the deputy city manager position, was lowered to $85,644 a year, as of this week.
Fitzpatrick would not cite the reason for the change in per position, citing personnel matters.
In January, he told Foster's the city was conducting an internal investigation regarding Pollard, but he would not disclose why. He said that the investigation would determine "everything," including her future work status with the city, but would not comment further, citing personnel matters.
In early January, Pollard was in court after police obtained a search warrant on her city-owned cell phone, in connection with the police investigation of her husband, Leslie Pollard, who was charged in a hit-and-run accident involving a pedestrian. Karen Pollard was not charged in the incident, which occurred on Dec. 29, on Lowell Street.
As a previous deputy city manager, Pollard was responsible for overseeing the Division of Building Services and Community Development. According to Fitzpatrick, that position will not be filled.
Rochester Times editor John Nolan contributed to this report.

Harvard Prof. Dan Lieberman Running Strong–With Shorter Stride
He told me a story about Harvard Business School professor Paul Gompers, who I had written about for Runner's World in early 1988 when Gompers was a physiology student in Oxford, England. That spring, Gompers finished fourth in the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in New Jersey, and had a lifetime best of 2:11:38. He quit competitive running four or five years later, and apparently has had knee problems in recent years.
"Paul was a terrible over strider, so I brought him into the lab and showed him how his impact forces changed when he switched to a forefoot strike," said Lieberman. "He made the transition smoothly, and now he's running healthy again."
After three or four years in the middle of the barefoot/minimalist running debate, Lieberman says he's disgusted with the low quality of the discussion. "I don't think there's anything wrong or magical about a heel strike or a forefoot strike," he says. "We're just trying to gather information, and we're always careful to explain the limits of the data we have. But others rush in and jump to unsupported conclusions. Everyone wants a simple answer. Sorry, but the answers aren't simple."

Journey to Paracas
On their second day in Peru, students enrolled in the Chesapeake Semester boarded a bus and headed south along the coast to Paracas and the Marine-protected Ballestas Islands. They saw the abundance of Peru's guano birds for the first time. The concentration of guano spurred the Peruvian economic engine of guano (fertilizer) export to First World countries up until the turn of the 20th century. Today the guano harvest has dramatically decreased and is heavily regulated by the Peruvian government. Despite the decades that have elapsed since the guano glut, the method of harvest has made little advancement. Labor is still supplied from the same two remote Andean villages that have supplied labor for generations. Under the government's supervision and scientific management these workers migrate seasonally up and down the coast selecting harvests sites based upon guano volume, bird migration, and nesting habits for less impactful mining.

Ok I have been a small investor in Xm and Sirius from way back. A few years back the stock was all over the board, and I got lucky bought low sold high. Made a few thousand dollars in less then a month and thought this is easy. Now I will be the first to admit I know very little about investing in stocks. Took a crash course in reading about stocks, and opened my Amertade account, and off I went. Now I feel a little like Mac Grubber on Saturday Night live.
Now I'am getting to my question. What is the real problem with this stock??? I have used the product. I find it usefull. I find it afforable. I see it as a strong product both in rural and large cities. In the present format I don't see a product that may or has the ability to knock this off or make it obsolete anytime soon. So from my prospective as a comsumer it has alot going for it.
Now from a invester view I'am a little I guess Illitate on why this stock sucks. The Sirius / XM merger had to reduce overhead. It seems the company is on the right track with subscribership all the numbers seem strong. I know the company has not made money EVER, but is moving in the right direction The CEO has shown strong understanding in the past on growing companies and seems very capable. I am about to reinvest 10K as I think this is a bargin at the present price and I think the stock market is about to turn soon. Am I not seeing this correctly

While it's notable that Lee has earned this honor -- the former high school star quarterback always seemed headed that way, and he joins Griffin Reinhart [edit: and Brenden Kichton] as Islanders prospects recently named captains of their squad -- the truly interesting adventure this season will be how he handles the move to the pivot.
The Islanders have drafted several centers in recent years who might ultimately end up as wingers (David Ullstrom is one. Brock Nelson swung to wing in college but is debuting in Bridgeport as a center).

|I'll be back. Soon.
The San Diego Padres announced reassigning Yasmani Grandal today to AAA Tucson.
This no doubt was a tough decision. Offensively Grandal has out-performed John Baker this spring,
- Baker: 8 for 32, 0 HR, 2 2B, 9 Ks
- Grandal: 14 for 34, 3 HR, 2 2B, 9 Ks
Baker is here on a one-year deal. If Grandal continues to develop this year I doubt the Padres will bring Baker back for 2013.
The Padres also re-assigned Alex Hinshaw to minor league camp.

The most frustrating aspect of using topical prescription medications is preventing negative reactions. The other major concern is determining which skincare products you can use and the order in which to use them. No matter which medication your doctor prescribed, you still need a great skincare routine as usual. We explain how you can combine the two for beautiful results!
Why Add a Prescription Skincare Product?
There are many reasons why you may want, or need, to add topical prescription products to your regular skincare routine. For example, if you have stubborn acne, prescription-only medications, such as topical antibiotics like BenzaClin or topical retinoids like Differin or Retin-A, can make a world of difference.
For wrinkles, Renova, the prescription-strength form of retinol, can be extremely beneficial. Topical medications for rosacea, including MetroCream, Atralin, and Finacea; cortisone creams for eczema; and medications such as Calicopotriene for treating psoriasis are often the only way to keep these irksome skin disorders under control.
Using Prescription Products with Your Skincare Routine
There is a great deal of research about how topical prescription products work to help different skin disorders and about their potential side effects, but there is surprisingly little information on how you are supposed to incorporate topical prescription products into your daily skincare routine. After all, you still must clean your face, use a skin-healing toner, wear an effective sunscreen, apply moisturizers or serums appropriate for your skin type, and, for most skin types, exfoliate … but how are you supposed to do that and apply prescription products? How does it all work together? Can it work together?
Sadly, there isn't any agreement among dermatologists as to what non-prescription skincare products you're supposed to use with your topical prescription-only medications or about the order in which to apply them. Even more shocking is the lack of consensus or suggestions about how to avoid some of the most typical reactions prescription medications can cause, such as redness, irritation, dryness, and inflammation.
What to Use, What Not to Use, and When to Apply Skincare & Your Prescription
Below you will find a step-by-step guide on how to maintain your regular skincare routine and incorporate your prescription product. The six steps are meant as helpful guidelines; if this information conflicts with your physician or pharmacist's advice, please consult them before making any changes.
Step 1: Use only gentle water-soluble cleansers. Regardless of the medications you apply, everyone first needs to use a gentle water-soluble cleanser appropriate for their skin type. If the cleanser isn't gentle, it will cause irritation and dryness, which will only be exacerbated by the medication(s) you apply afterward. Remember—gentle cleansers, not bar soaps or cleansers in bar form.
Do not use abrasive scrubs with any topical prescription medications. Most scrub particles create tiny micro-tears on the skin's surface, which will aggravate the skin condition you have and increase the irritation from the medications you are applying. If you want a bit of extra cleansing, use a washcloth with your gentle water-soluble cleanser.
Caution: Think twice before using a prescription topical product and a cleansing brush like the Clarisonic. This combination can prove too irritating, especially if you're also using products like exfoliants, skin lighteners, and serums with retinol.
Step 2: Do use a great toner. Most toners are loaded with irritating plant extracts such as witch hazel along with alcohol and fragrance. In one word: Ouch! Do not use any product that contains irritating ingredients, especially not toners with those types of ingredients. On the other hand, toners loaded with beneficial skin-repairing ingredients can create the optimal environment on your skin for the medication(s) you will be applying.
Step 3: Use an AHA or BHA exfoliant. Most people's skin reaps incredible benefits from exfoliation. There is an enormous amount of research showing that sun damage, breakouts, wrinkles, blackheads, and skin texture improve significantly if you use a well-formulated BHA (salicylic acid) or AHA (glycolic or lactic acids) exfoliant. This is true even if used in combination with most topical prescription medications.
There is a risk of irritation from exfoliants, so you need to start slowly, initially applying a lower concentration exfoliant once (morning or evening) every three days to see how your skin does, and then increasing the frequency and/or concentration based on how your skin responds. If you experience irritation, and it continues, cut back on the frequency, reduce the concentration, or stop altogether.
In almost every case, you can apply your exfoliant prior to your prescription medication.
Step 4: Apply a serum filled with antioxidants and other beneficial ingredients. Young skin and skin that hasn't suffered from sun damage is stocked with a vast array of skin-protecting substances that promote healing, fight aging, diminish redness, resist forming brown and red marks, and create a smoother, softer surface. Even if your skin has been damaged through years of neglect or exposure, the more ingredients of this kind that you give your skin, the better it will be. Plus, these kinds of ingredients are compatible with almost any topical prescription product.
Note: Many people ask us about using an over-the-counter retinol product, such as a serum, and a prescription retinoid like Renova. It is fine to use both; generally, you should apply the over-the-counter retinol product first, followed by your prescription retinoid. Do you need both? No, but some people see greater benefit from the combination, or they simply like to alternate a stronger and weaker retinol product. As with any active ingredient, pay attention to how your skin responds and adjust your routine accordingly. Doubling up on retinol products is too much for some people's skin—more isn't necessarily better, and you never want to tip the scale in favor of irritation.
Step 5: Apply your prescription product. This is the best place in your routine to apply your prescription product, especially if it has a cream or lotion texture. If it's a liquid, apply it after step 3.
Step 6—DAYTIME: Never forget to apply a moisturizing, broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 25 or greater every day. Protecting your skin from the sun not only prevents signs of aging, but also helps repair the skin and helps heal many skin disorders by reducing the underlying inflammation. So, unless your physician says otherwise (which may be the case for those with severe psoriasis), always apply sunscreen. Regular sunscreen use also protects the skin's immune cells from damage that can lead to a host of health problems down the road.
Step 6—NIGHTTIME: Apply a skin-repairing moisturizer and/or serum every night. As mentioned above, when skin is young and healthy it is stocked with a vast array of skin- protecting substances that promote healing, fight aging, and so on. Moisturizers and serums work effectively with almost any topical prescription; choose one or both based on your skin type and personal preferences, and apply it around the eyes, too.
Combining Specialty Skin Treatments with Prescription Products
Skin-lightening products: You can use skin lighteners with prescription products, depending on the formula of the skin lightener. Generally, hydroquinone-based skin lighteners are a bit too much for problem skin, even without a prescription medication. If "problem skin" describes you, it's preferable to consider skin-lightening products that contain vitamin C, azelaic acid, ascorbyl glucosamine, niacinamide, or forms of licorice extract such as glycyrrhetinic acid.
If you're using a prescription product that contains hydroquinone, you do not need to combine it with an over-the-counter hydroquinone product; however, you can apply the prescription-strength hydroquinone product and follow with a skin-lightening product that contains other active ingredients, such as vitamin C. Doubling up on hydroquinone increases the risk of irritation.
Scar-reducing treatments: There should not be a problem using any topical prescription medication with most scar treatments we've seen. The best in this category contain anti-inflammatory ingredients along with other skin-repairing ingredients, which can work great, regardless of the skin disorder. If the prescription product is being applied over the area of skin that has a scar you're treating, apply the prescription first, and follow with the scar treatment.
Retinol-based moisturizers: Retinol, the name for the entire vitamin A molecule, is well-known for its youth-enhancing properties. Retinol in non-prescription skincare products is similar to the retinoids (like tretinoin) that are present in prescription products. Some people like to use both over-the-counter and prescription retinol products, while others find it best to use one or the other because using both proves irritating. Which way to go? Generally, if you are using a prescription form of vitamin A, then you won't gain much additional benefit by also using serums or moisturizers that contain retinol, especially those with concentrations greater than 0.5%, as this combination increases the chance of side effects. However, using skincare products with low amounts (0.1% or less) of retinol along with a prescription form of vitamin A can be fine, and you may see enhanced benefits without redness or flaking.
Over-the-counter acne medications that contain benzoyl peroxide: The question of whether or not to use an over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide product with prescription medications is best answered by your physician. Generally, this is considered fine to do; there's no definitive research proving that this combination renders either the benzoyl peroxide or the retinoid ineffective.
Note: Don't think you must use a benzoyl peroxide product every day to see results. For some, applying benzoyl peroxide only a few days a week is plenty to reap great benefits, and doing so further enhances the ability to incorporate topical medications into your skincare routine.
How to Keep Your Skin from Reacting Badly
Even with the best skincare routines, adding prescription medications might cause your skin to react negatively; that is, redness, flaking, dryness, increased sensitivity, and breakouts. We cannot stress strongly enough the need to use only gentle skincare products that contain no irritating ingredients, as this can reduce the possibility and/or severity of a negative reaction. Adding products that contain irritating ingredients to the mix dramatically increases the risk of your skin reacting badly when you add a prescription medication.
Use only products that are best for your skin type. If a prescription medication is causing dryness, you don't have to change every product you are using; in fact, doing so can cause an entirely different set of problems. You may merely need to use a slightly more emollient moisturizer or a different serum, either for daytime or, even easier, at night.
You must avoid hot water, scrubs, microdermabrasion, saunas, hot tubs, highly fragranced products, and anything that can increase irritation.
Be sure the sunscreen you're using contains only titanium dioxide and zinc oxide as active ingredients. Synthetic sunscreens work great, but for some they present a risk of a sensitized reaction, whereas titanium dioxide and zinc oxide have minimal risk of causing irritation. This can be especially helpful as your skin acclimates to a prescription retinoid product, and is a must if you're treating rosacea.
Simplifying your skincare routine is another option. Paring down to the basics, which would include a cleanser, your prescription medication, sunscreen during the day, and a nighttime moisturizer or serum before going to bed, may be the best way to see how your skin does. You can then add one product at a time, such as an exfoliant, skin-lightening product, or other targeted treatment, to see how your skin tolerates each when combined with the prescription product.
A lot of experts suggest you mix your topical prescription medication with your moisturizer to minimize the risk of dryness or irritation. That's an option, but it's unlikely to make a big difference; applying your prescription product first and then applying your moisturizer or serum essentially does the same thing. (However, with regard to mixing products, you should not mix any skincare product with a sunscreen, because diluting a sunscreen with a serum, moisturizer, or prescription product decreases the sunscreen's effectiveness.) Sunscreen should always be the last step in your skincare routine, regardless of the prescription product.
You can always talk to your physician about cutting back on how frequently you apply the topical medication you've been prescribed, but if you cut back too much you won't get any benefit. If you are using your prescription product less than three times per week, and it still causes irritation, you should talk with your physician about using a different medication or trying a lower dose, which your skin may tolerate with daily or every-other-day application.
In our research and personal experience, we've noted that there are doctors who recommend prescription and over-the-counter products and usage steps that don't seem to make sense, at least to us to and likely not to you, either—we hear from a lot of people who are dissatisfied with their doctors' advice. Despite these issues, however, you must follow your doctor's recommendations; either that or get a second opinion from another medical doctor or pharmacist. For simple issues, such as applying a product during the day versus at night, it's probably not a big deal, but when in doubt, getting a second medical opinion is the path to follow.
Skincare Isn't Easy

A software design document is a written description of a software product, that a software designer writes in order to give a software development team an overall guidance of the architecture of the software project. A software design document usually accompanies an architecture diagram with pointers to detailed feature specifications of smaller pieces of the design. A design document needs to be a stable reference, outlining all parts of the software and how they will work. The document is commanded to give a fairly complete description, while maintaining a high-level view of the software.
The following Design Documents are available here for GMAT:
The architecture design uses information flowing characteristics, and maps them into the program structure. The transformation mapping method is applied to exhibit distinct boundaries between incoming and outgoing data. The data flow diagrams allocate control input, processing and output along three separate modules.
The interface specs are working documents that describe all GMAT features at the user interface and functional level. These documents contain high level working requirements, feature overview, details of the GUI and script interfaces, and detailed descriptions of how each feature works.

I have created a program that searches through every player of a particular online game, visits their information webpage and extracts pieces of information about them (ie. their stats).
The problem is that there are several millions of players. By my initial calculations, it may take over 10 days to complete, and will use up over 30gbs of data traffic. This is less than ideal when you have a 40gb monthly allowance and you want to run the program weekly.
My question is this. How can I run my program quickly and cheaply. For instance, is it possible to buy some webspace with a webhosting company and run my java program somehow from there? I have seen some webhosting for around $2 per month, which seems pretty reasonable.
Or is it a webserver I would be after. Although they seem rather expensive. I am only doing this for my own interest and wouldn't want to spent more than a few dollars.

The Emergency Medical Holographic program, or Emergency Medical Hologram (EMH), was a sophisticated hologram developed in the early 2370s by Starfleet and used on most Federation starships in the late 24th century. It was designed to provide short-term advanced assistance during emergencies in sickbay to the extent of literally replacing a starship's medical officer. (DS9: "Doctor Bashir, I Presume") The formal name of the program was "EMH Program AK-1 Diagnostic and Surgical Subroutine Omega-323". As of 2377, there had been four versions of the EMH, designated Mark I, II, III, and IV. (VOY: "Projections", "Life Line")
History Edit
One of the earliest known concepts for a "holographic doctor" was first considered, if not rhetorically, by Enterprise NX-01 Commander Trip Tucker. In 2151, Tucker argued to Ezral – a Kantare engineer who had programmed several holograms of his former crew on behalf of keeping his daughter, Liana, company – that, with regards of her welfare, "What if she gets hurt? What do you do then? Program a holographic doctor?" Ezral, nevertheless, responded simply that "we've survived here successfully" without one. (ENT: "Oasis")
Over a century later, while testing the ill-fated M-5 multitronic unit aboard the USS Enterprise, Spock lamented to Dr. Leonard McCoy on the misfortune that computer programming had not yet advanced far enough to immediately replace starship surgeon. McCoy retorted that he'd rather resign than be replaced. (TOS: "The Ultimate Computer")
Starfleet commissioned the brilliant holo-programmer Doctor Lewis Zimmerman at the Jupiter Station Holoprogramming Center as the embodiment of modern medicine. The EMH Mark I was first activated in 2371, and was programmed with over five million possible treatments from the collective information of two thousand medical references and the experience of 47 individual medical officers. The EMH was also supplemented with contingency programs and adaptive programs to learn while serving as a supplement of a normal medical staff in cases of emergency. It contained fifty million gigaquads of computer memory, which was "considerably more than most highly developed humanoid brains." (VOY: "Life Line")
Zimmerman wanted to call his creation the "Holo-Doc", but Starfleet Command made the request to name the hologram "Emergency Medical Hologram" instead. (VOY: "Projections")
Dr. Zimmerman, proud of his achievement, decided to program the EMH with both his physical, and most notably, psychological characteristics. Unfortunately, Dr. Zimmerman did not take into account that his own personality resulted in a poor bedside manner for a medical doctor. The resulting hologram was arrogant and irritable, and as a result was poorly received by many Starfleet doctors. This, in turn, spawned nicknames like "Emergency Medical Hotheads" and "Extremely Marginal Housecalls." (VOY: "Life Line")
Some biological Starfleet doctors even went so far as to object to the use of the EMH. Doctor Beverly Crusher swore that she would never use one, although she was forced to do so in order to create a distraction while the Borg tried to assimilate the USS Enterprise-E, allowing her, her medical staff, and her patients, notably Lily Sloane, to escape from sickbay. (Star Trek: First Contact)
Starfleet later requested that Dr. Zimmerman design a holoprogram to operate as a full-time doctor in any posting where life support or living space was at a premium and the primary mission did not require the doctor to leave sickbay. As a result, the research and design for the Long-term Medical Holographic program (LMH) was begun in mid-2373. (DS9: "Doctor Bashir, I Presume")
Deep Space 9 did not have an EMH installed initially, as it was incompatible with the station's Cardassian technology. An EMH was installed in 2373 as a way to transfer its data into the LMH. (DS9: "Doctor Bashir, I Presume")
Eventually, it was concluded that the EMH Mark I was defective and they were retired from the medical corps. While an ashamed Dr. Zimmerman tried to have them decommissioned, Starfleet reassigned them to scrub plasma conduits on waste transfer barges. Later, the Mark Is were also deployed in other menial tasks, like dilithium mining.
Of at least 678 Mark Is created, 675 were reassigned, but at least a few escaped by virtue of their ships being lost in the Delta Quadrant; one aboard the USS Voyager, one aboard the USS Equinox, and the backup copy of Voyager's EMH which was in the possession of the Kyrians – assuming these were not counted among those reconfigured. (VOY: "Life Line", "Author, Author", "Living Witness")
Most notably The Doctor, a Mark I serving on the USS Voyager, ran almost continuously for years and was forced to expand his programming extensively to keep up. This EMH originally objected to being the replacement for the entire medical staff, as the EMH program was only meant to function for a maximum of 1,500 hours (62.5 days); after this time, memory degradation would occur. Fortunately, with the help of his colleagues, his program was altered to overcome this shortcoming. (VOY: "The Swarm")
To address the flaws in the EMH Mark I, Dr. Zimmerman began work on the Mark II, a prototype of which was finished in time to be included in the sickbay of the USS Prometheus in 2374.
While the Mark I's outward appearance was a copy of its inventor, a disillusioned Dr. Zimmerman changed the outward appearance of the Mark II. Furthermore, the patterns of behavior of the following versions were designed to be more pleasant and courteous. To achieve this, Zimmerman initially tried to improve on the programming of the Mark I, but eventually decided to create the Mark II from scratch. In addition to that, new ship designs like the USS Prometheus enabled full mobility for the EMH, as the whole ship was outfitted with holographic projectors. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle")
By 2377, the Mark II had been replaced by a Mark III, followed by a Mark IV. (VOY: "Life Line")
By 2378, the Mark I programs were reconfigured to work at a Federation mining colony in replacement of other forms of labor. These programs, having been reassigned to their new function, were able to obtain bootlegged copies of the holonovel Photons Be Free and view them. One of the EMH miners found the holonovel "provocative". (VOY: "Author, Author")
In 2399, a civilian ship, La Sirena, possessed an Emergency Medical Hologram as one of multiple specialist emergency holograms. When Jean-Luc Picard beamed aboard the ship to speak with the ship's captain, Cristóbal Rios, Picard was greeted by the EMH, whose appearance was based on Rios, though he had an English accent. This EMH brought Picard to meet the wounded Rios, and after the EMH partially treated the wound, Rios deactivated him. (PIC: "The End is the Beginning")
Voyager's EMH Mark IEdit
After the EMH Mark II supplanted the "inferior" Mark I, the only remaining versions to fulfill their original programming were aboard the USS Voyager and the USS Equinox, which were both stranded in the Delta Quadrant and had to implement the emergency holograms for extended periods of time. However, a notable caveat was that the crew of the Equinox deleted their EMH's ethical subroutines in order to allow him to act contrary to the Hippocratic Oath. In 2376, the Equinox EMH was deleted while in Voyager's database, leaving Voyager's program, "The Doctor", as the only Mark I still operating as an EMH. (VOY: "Equinox", "Equinox, Part II")
Voyager's EMH (The Doctor) developed a distinct personality over the ship's seven-year-long journey to the Alpha Quadrant. Despite this, The Doctor was not granted the rights of a living person by a Federation Arbiter, although he did determine that The Doctor fulfilled the requirements of an artist under the law. The Arbiter did, however, encourage The Doctor to pursue recognition as a sentient being at a later point in time. (VOY: "Author, Author")
An ability unique to The Doctor, Voyager's EMH was able to leave sickbay or the holodeck and to roam freely with the help of a mobile emitter (originating from 29th century technology). (VOY: "Future's End, Part II") Voyager's EMH was even given the responsibility of commanding the ship as the Emergency Command Hologram (ECH) if the ship's commanding officers were not present, incapacitated, or dead. (VOY: "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy", "Workforce", "Workforce, Part II", "Renaissance Man")
When The Doctor was sent in a holographic data stream to contact the USS Prometheus, he found the starship in the hands of Romulans, who had killed the Starfleet crew and captured the ship. The Doctor activated the ship's EMH, a Mark II, to help him recapture the ship, although the Mark II initially preferred to just deactivate and wait for rescue, and then treated The Doctor as inferior despite the latter's vastly superior life experiences. The Doctor ultimately persuaded the Mark II to take action and help him. They planned to disable the Romulans by venting an anesthetic gas, but The Doctor was captured by the Romulans when he attempted to reach the environmental controls on the bridge. During The Doctor's interrogation, the Mark II simulated a bio-hazard, opening the vents which released the gas, knocking out the Romulans. The Doctor and the Mark II successfully fought off Romulan warbirds using the ship's experimental weapons systems, returned the ship into Starfleet's hands, and informed Starfleet that Voyager was in the Delta Quadrant. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle")
Mechanics Edit
The EMH was a holographic simulation of a Human, but with no internal organs beneath the apparent surface to conserve computer power. EMHs were not equipped with reproductive organs. The Doctor, however, wrote additional routines into his holomatrix to facilitate romantic endeavors and has also had several relationships, one of which inexplicably resulted in a son. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle", "Blink of an Eye")
Holodecks used omnidirectional holographic diodes (OHD). A sickbay was fitted with a system of OHDs that projected an image of the EMH. Each projected a complete image. Visible portions changed as the hologram moved, creating an illusion of fluid motion.
Magnetic containment fields allowed the EMH to interact with physical objects. These force fields moved as the EMH moved to create the appearance of solid matter. The containment fields could be shut off, allowing objects and people to pass through them – an EMH's cohesion could range from solid to intangible. (VOY: "Phage") When OHDs and magnetic field generators were added to other parts of a ship, they allowed the hologram to leave sickbay (as in more advanced Starfleet ships or modified configurations). Without these additional projectors, the EMH could only function in sickbay and the holodeck.
The USS Voyager also discovered the 29th century mobile emitter technology which, when attached to the EMH and its program transferred to emitter, allowed the EMH to roam freely on board ships, shuttles, or even planetary surfaces. This allowed the EMH to act as a medical aid during away missions. However, damage to the emitter posed a risk of damage or even deletion of the EMH.
The universal translator algorithm was written into the EMH's matrix. (VOY: "Gravity")
When he was first activated, the Voyager EMH apparently did not have the ability to deactivate himself after he finished his duties. However, he was later given that ability by issuing computer command "Override Command 1-EMH-Alpha; End Program". (VOY: "Jetrel") The Mark II apparently had this ability as part of his programming. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle")
While not designed to act as ship's counselor, the EMH had been programed with some psychological knowledge. (VOY: "Darkling")

Apocrypha Edit
Despite Doctor Crusher's distaste for the EMH, she was forced to activate the EMH of the Enterprise-E during the events of The Q Continuum trilogy, when the Enterprise was attacked by the Calamarain during a mission to the Galactic barrier.
In the Star Trek: Prometheus trilogy, it is revealed that, even after the upgrade to the Mark III and Mark IV EMH, the Prometheus has retained the Mark II, even giving him the nickname 'Tre' for his habit of carrying around a tricorder when he can make such diagnostics on his own.
In Star Trek Online's Federation tutorial, players encounter a new version of the Emergency Medical Hologram (EMH Mark VI) serving aboard the USS Khitomer. Resembling a Vulcan with silver hair, this EMH, in dialogue released on YouTube but not included in game, claims to have a "personality matrix [that] combines qualities of more than twenty physicians, scientists, and counselors - including Admiral Beverly Crusher of Starfleet Medical, Ambassador Spock, and Ghee P'Trell of Andoria." He is voiced by Zachary Quinto. [1] Also in Star Trek Online, Emergency Medical Holograms, alongside the new Emergency Engineering Holograms and Emergency Security Holograms, can be acquired as Duty Officers. [2]

The Gypsy moth is one of the most obnoxious pests in the US today, capable of decimating whole forests. So of course the government wants them eradicated. But so potent is the virus they use to control them that it makes them suicidal and melts their insides.
The virus is known as baculovirus, and it's wicked stuff. When exposed to the virus, the Gypsy moth caterpillars begin to behave erratically, climb up to a high part of the tree they live in, and eventually die. It doesn't end there though. The virus breaks their bodies down from the inside out, melting their organs down until there's nothing left but caterpillar goop. Brutal.
But that's not the evil genius of the baculovirus, and why it's so attractive to officials who want the pest dead and gone. The virus actually controls this behavior on a genetic level in order to propagate itself. By activating the caterpillar's gene responsible for molting behavior, it convinces the creature to crawl high up in a tree and stop eating. Once it dies, the melted remains drip down onto the leaves below for other caterpillars to eat, eventually infecting the whole population. It's like an honest to goodness zombie movie, but with bugs.
Considering the threat the moths continue to pose, I suppose the end justifies the means. But Christ, couldn't it be just a little less gruesome? [NPR]

Correction: Baculovirus. No. This has nothing to do with Scott Bakula. Thanks guys.

A stroll round Paris's Montparnasse cemetery
Oliver Condy explores one of the French capital's most famous and picturesque cemeteries, the final resting place of Saint-Saëns, Franck and Cavaillé-Coll
A stroll round Parisian cemeteries is never less than enlightening – the main three, Père Lachaise, Montmartre and Montparnasse, house the graves of enough great historical figures from the worlds of science, literature, industry, art and music to satisfy even those with only minutes to spare.
I lived and studied music in Paris for a couple of years back in the '90s , but never got round to visiting the Montparnasse cemetery. I put that right last weekend during a trip to the French capital; here are some snaps of what I discovered during my hour or two on one perishingly cold March morning…
Aristide Cavaillé-Coll
It's interesting to see how small this grave is, given the size of many of the surrounding ones (see the Saint-Saëns family tomb below). Aristide Cavaillé-Coll was France's foremost 19th-century organ builder, particularly feted for his grand, symphonic organs in Notre Dame, St Sulpice and down in Rouen in the Cathedral of St Ouen. Hundreds of his instruments are still in use today, but the firm no longer exists. In fact, Aristide was notoriously bad with money, and his firm, which struggled throughout his life, survived him by a mere 40 years, closing as World War Two swept across Europe. Cavaillé-Coll died a poor man in 1899.
Camille Saint-Saëns
One of France's greatest composers, Saint-Saëns was a hero in his own time (and, as organist at La Madeleine, played one of Cavaillé-Coll's true masterpieces). Towards the end of his life, the French government awarded him the Grand Cross of the Légion d'Honneur in recognition of his musical achievements, one of which was his extraordinary keyboard technique – he was said, by Liszt, to be the world's finest organist, and was regarded as a sight-reader ne plus ultra. When he died from pneumonia, in 1921, he was given a state funeral, which goes some way to explaining the extravagance of his family mausoleum…
César Franck
Strictly Belgian, the French nevertheless took organist and composer César Franck to their hearts. His grave, hidden away to the east of the cemetery (it took some searching to find him) is an imposing block of stone, simply engraved with his name and a bronze by the great sculptor Auguste Rodin. Franck's place in the history of French music was assured not just by his terrific works (Symphony in D minor, Violin Sonata, Organ Chorales and more) but also by his mentoring and nurturing of the next generation of French composers, including d'Indy, Chausson, Vierne and Duparc. Franck died on 8 November 1890 as a result of complications following a chest infection.
Also in the Montparnasse cemetery:
Georges Auric
Emmanuel Chabrier
Alexandre Guilmant
Vincent d'Indy
Louis Vierne
