Inner Join SQL: Linking Your Database Tables
A relational database lets you use primary and foreign keys to connect your tables. The database manages the relationship, but only one table's record set is returned when you query unless you link the data. To link data, there are outer and inner joins. This article discusses inner joins to return multiple tables' rows related to a specific query.
Learn more about relational databases and SQL queries at Udemy.com.
Primary and Foreign Keys
The concept of linking tables stems from primary and foreign keys. Every table in your SQL database should have a primary key. A primary key must be unique and cannot be null. You can use composite keys, which means multiple table columns make up a primary key. Whatever your choice, the primary key is the column or group of columns that uniquely identifies your record. For instance, if you have a customer table, you need the primary key to determine your customer IDs.
Additionally, most relational databases such as Microsoft SQL Server and MySQL have auto-increment functionality. Auto-increment columns automatically add 1 to the last record and insert the new number into a column. Some small businesses and database developers use this technique to create a primary key for the tables. Auto-incrementing columns guarantee that your tables always have a unique column. The SQL database will return an error if you attempt to create a duplicate primary key.
Foreign keys contain the same primary key value, but they are located in a related table. For instance, an ecommerce store has a table for customers and orders. The customer table contains the primary key that identifies the customer, and the orders table contains a foreign key such as "CustomerId" that contains the customer's primary key value in each record. This primary and foreign key relationship is the basis for your inner join queries.

Writing an Inner Join Query
First, let's take a very simple SQL query. The following code returns a list of customers from a "customers" table:
select * from customers
The above query is probably the most basic query you can write for your SQL database. The above query has no filters, no ordering, no subqueries and no joins. However, it's not very useful for most applications. To add a bit of usefulness to the query, you use the "where" clause to filter your records. The following SQL code gets a list of customers who signed up to the site within the last week:
select * from customers where signupdate >= getdate()-7
Now, this query is great if you just need a list of customers, but suppose you need a list of customers and related orders? You could get a list of orders and link them to customers in your front-end code, but it's completely inefficient and inaccurate.
That's where the inner join query comes into play. The following code uses the same "where" clause filter, but it returns a list of orders for your customers as well:
select * from customers c inner join orders o where c.customerid=o.customerid where c.signupdate >= getdate()-7
Incidentally, with Microsoft SQL Server, you can eliminate the "inner" part of the join query, and SQL will assume you mean the "inner" phrase. The returned record set contains every column in both the customers and orders table. Notice the "c" and "o" aliases. If you didn't specify these aliases, you'd need to write out the entire table name to join columns. Aliases make it easier to reference tables. If your customers table and your orders table both have a "signupdate," SQL Server will return an error that indicates you've referenced ambiguous column names.
One difference between the inner join and the alternative outer join is the number of records displayed. If the SQL database server can't find a linked order for the customer, the customer is eliminated from the record set. Therefore, the records you receive are only customers with orders and with a signup date within the last 7 days. Alternatively, an outer join query will return all customer records and any customer orders. With an outer join, you view the records set and you see null values for orders where a customer does not have any order records.
For instance, the following SQL code uses an outer join to return the same logical record set, but all customer records within the signup "where" clause are returned regardless if an order exists:
select * from customers c outer left join orders o where c.customerid=o.customerid where c.signupdate >= getdate()-7
In the last few examples use only the customers columns to filter records. You can also use the joined table columns. The following SQL code gets all customers who signed up within the last 7 days and any orders placed within the last 5 days:
select * from customers c inner join orders o where c.customerid=o.customerid where c.signupdate >= getdate()-7 and o.orderdate >= getdate()-5
Notice the aliases used for both columns. The "c" alias tells the SQL database that the column is located in the customers table. The "o" indicates that the column is in the orders table.
The final change you need to make to the query is listing the columns to return. Right now, the asterisk indicates to the database to return all columns. It's an inefficient way to return a data set. You usually only need a few columns in your record set to work with it on the front-end of the application. To fix the issue, you specify columns. You also need to use your aliases for returned columns as well. The following code is an example:
select c.first_name, c.last_name, o.orderdate from customers c inner join orders o where c.customerid=o.customerid where c.signupdate >= getdate()-7 and o.orderdate >= getdate()-5
In the above example, the first name and last name columns are returned. You know they are located in the customers table from the "c" alias prefix. The last column returned is the order date. You know this column is located in the orders table from the "o" alias.
This is just a start to returning data from a database from multiple tables. You can continue adding inner joins (and outer joins) until you link all your tables and get all columns you need for the front-end application.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - Women and children in our community, who might not have another place to go, have a temporary safe place to stay together. The Downtown Rescue Mission's Owen's House is opening a door to a better life for hundreds of women and children.
Michelle Holland is one of those women; she's a long way from home. "I'm actually from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma," Holland said.
Holland is in the year-long program at the Downtown Rescue Mission. Sometimes life's journey takes you away from everything you knew to solidify everything you'll become.
"I'm not sure where I would be if it wasn't for this place," Holland expressed.
This place, with its freshly painted walls and welcoming beds, holds hundreds of women a night in Huntsville. "The rescue mission has changed my life," Holland exclaimed.
Holland is talking about Owen's House. It's the Downtown Rescue Mission's brand new women's and children's facility.
"Even if they have four or five, no matter how many kids that you have, we want you to know that you're welcome here," Tylor Jones, Director of Media Outreach at the mission, said.
"We are able to take young men up to the age of 13 in this facility," Tracy Gibson, Director of Women's Ministry, said. "We have the capability where they have privacy; we have the capability where the mom does not have to decide if she's going to choose comfort."
Owen's House is a place for women and children to stay for a night. It's also home to the 12-month program for single women, and the new 9-month program for moms.
"They come in for 9 months, we help them with their job skills," Gibson explained. "We have an organization that's helping them with parenting skills; we have an organization that's helping them with their finances."
You don't have to leave Owen's House the same way you came. "We'll be able to have moms who maybe need to go to an interview or something like that, we can provide childcare for them as well," Jones said.
Holland can attest, this is a house for the hurting with plenty of room for rescue. "They have the sound backing of people who have poured into them and who are going to see them through to the end," Gibson said.
If you would like to partner with the Downtown Rescue Mission by providing donations for Owen's House, visit www.downtownrescuemission.org. If you are a woman interested in joining one of the transitional programs, email Gibson at email@example.com.

Mumbai man confesses to killing best friend, cops shoo him away, twice
The 30-year-old went to Shivaji Nagar police to confess to killing his best friend; cops sent him to Dindoshi police, who directed him to Kurar Village police, who finally arrested him
A 30-year-old wanting to confess to a murder should have looked up the jurisdiction of the scene of his alleged crime, for cops sent him off from one police station to another until he was in the right place to surrender.
No rest for wicked?
Officials said that on Wednesday morning, the accused, identified as Magdul Sardar Ali (30), first approached the Shivaji Nagar police and told the on-duty officer to arrest him for killing his best friend in Malad (East) and dumping his body in a drain.
But instead of putting him behind the bars, the cops sent him to surrender at Dindoshi police station, citing that the spot of crime fell in the latter's jurisdiction.
Representational pic
Incidentally, on the way to Dindoshi, he was escorted by no more than two constables. The Dindoshi cops, however, also booted him away, sending him off to Kurar Village police station, where he was, at long last, taken into custody.
Sardar Ali is a resident of Shivaji Nagar, Govandi, and works as a tailor. He allegedly told the police that he had killed his best friend, Sadik Ali (29), in August.
'Don't believe him'
Cops said they doubt if there is any truth to Sardar Ali's claim. Senior Police Inspector Jaychandra Kathe of Kurar police station said, "The accused alleged that he had killed his friend and dumped his body in a nullah in Kurar Village, Malad (East), but we don't have any record of a body being found in August.
We have arrested the accused based on his confession and assembled a team to search for his friend's body, but haven't found anything. We are not sure if the accused is telling us the truth or giving a false statement."
Kathe added, "The accused first surrendered to Shivaji Nagar police and they sent him in our custody. We are investigating the matter."

- Methods to prevent food spoilage and contamination
- Cooking
- The heat denatures enzymes and other proteins and kills microorganisms.
- Pasteurising
- Involves heating to 72 degrees celsius for 15 seconds and then cooling rapidly to 4 degrees celsius, killing harmful microorganisms.
- Drying, coating in sugar and salting
- Dehydrates any microorganisms as water leaves them by osmosis.
- Smoking
- The food develops a hardened, dry outer surface, and smoke contain antibacterial chemicals.
- Pickling
- Uses an acid pH to kill microorganisms by denaturing their enzymes and other proteins.
- Irradiation
- Ionising radiation kills the microorganisms by disrupting their DNA structure.
- Cooling and freezing
- ****** enzyme activity so their metabolism, growth and reproduction is very slow.
- Canning
- The food is heated in airtight cans.
- Vacuum wrapping
- Air is excluded so microbes cannot respire aerobically.
- Cooking

Nebulized Peroxide
This is a hypothesis of the functions of peroxide. When we are young, we burn a very hot metabolic fire with high utilization of oxygen. With age we accumulate toxins, drugs, allergies, and infections that block the pathways that utilize oxygen. The body shifts to alternative pathways to derive energy, such as fermentation. This is a less efficient process that also forms organic acids as a byproduct. A resultant drop in tissue pH (increase acidity) along with a drop in tissue oxygen content renders changes favorable for abnormal cell growth as well as persistent infection. Under these conditions enzymes and immune function are not great. This can lead to fatigue, pain, mental fog, slow metabolism (weight gain), allergies, etc.
Nebulized peroxide is an efficient route of getting this oxygen utilizing catalyst into the body via the rich network of blood vessels in the lungs. This is not as strong a treatment as IV peroxide but it may be enough of what you need. It certainly will help maintain catalytic activity between IV treatments. Oxygen utilization is a balance. You want oxidation at "60 mph, not 10 mph, 110 mph". I view peroxide as the "gas pedal". For those who are sensitive, a little goes a long way. Start with 1 inhalation of 1 cc's of our prepared peroxide solution per day x1 week. If all goes well, step on the gas slowly by gradually increasing the frequency of the peroxides. If tolerated, increase to 1 cc twice daily for 1 week. Still doing well, may increase to 2 cc twice daily. At this point, contact the office to advice nurse how your treatment is tolerated.
Measure 1 cc of peroxide in a syringe (or present dose). Unscrew the nebulizer handheld Jet unit. Squirt the peroxide into the small bowl unit. Plug the hose from the bottom of jet unit into the air pump. Turn on the air pump and a mist will come from the mouthpiece. Place the mouthpiece in your mouth and breathe in slowly. At full inhalation, hold your breathe for a 2-4 count to allow absorption in the lungs. If you are treating colds or sinus problems, you can also alternate breathing through your nose. Do not mix your own peroxide, this can be dangerous.
If you feel bad after the peroxide, flu like symptoms, headache, fever, diarrhea, fatigue, etc, this is too strong a catalytic stimulation wit peroxide and you need to call the office and speak to a nurse.

May I ask who wrote this and to whom we should speak? What would be the number to call? Would there be a charge
Thank you,

I was wondering what strength of H2O2 you are using…?? 3% strength…or less?
I would appreciate your response…I really want to try this method, but I'm not sure what strenght to use in nebulizer..
Thanks in advance,

Began with 1% H2O2, made with food grade 35% H2O2. Was tolerated, but not very effective. Went to 2.5% H2O2, and was impressed. Can nebulize for ten minutes, without irritation. Reducing emphysema. Others using drug store 3.5%, with metalic stabilizers. Try Guardian of Eden for pints, quarts, and gallons of food grade H2O2.

Percentages Exposed
1 tsp = 5ml or 105 drops (may vary with different dropper manufacturers)
3 tsp = 1 tbsp = 15ml or 315 drops (appox)
1 fl oz = 600 drops
1 tbsp = 315 drops (appox)
So my friends….Using the above, you may now be able to see how much
1% or 5%.or 10%..of any substance would be…most using Hydrogen Peroxide
are using far too much Hydrogen Peroxide food grade, as it will destroy your
lungs in no time by over doing the Peroxide….and that's not a good thing.
35% HP "food grade" must be cut 1:11 parts, to achieve 3% HP "food grade"
then if you are nebulizing say.
15ml 315 (drops) of distilled water (H2O2)…then to make any size 3% fg batch
15ml or 315 drops x 10% = 31 drops of 3% HP fg
15ml or 315 drops x 5% = 15 drops of 3% HP fg
15ml or 315 drops x 1% = 3 drops of 3% HP fg
So you see folks, most have been using far to much 3% sol HP in their nebulizers
Never use anything but 100% distilled water to cut the 35% Food Grade when making
3% HP food grade at ratio of ("one part" 35% HP fg to "eleven parts" Distilled water)!
2016/08/05 at 5:38 pm
Hello. I have just bought some 35% food grade H202 and am about to embark on this journey. (have non small cell lung cancer). More input from users would be helpful. Thanks so much.

Occupy Troika - and stand with Greece
Today in Dublin and Vienna activists occupied EU buildings in solidarity with Greece. We reject the actions of our governments and the creditor institutions in disregarding the democratic will of the Greek people for an end to austerity expressed in January's election.
Forcing the Greek government to sign an agreement that is unacceptable to its people and parliament is not the act of democrats. Nor is inviting leaders of the Greek opposition to Brussels to subvert a country's elected government.
It is clear to those watching the negotiations unfold that the SYRIZA government defends more than the interests of Greek people - it defends the prospects of a meaningful democracy in Europe. We call on the people of Europe to reject the behaviour of our elites and take action to defend democracy and support the Greek people.

Mondays have a bad reputation. Long before Karen Carpenter sang about the dismal, mood-altering properties of the first day of the work-week, there existed a certain dread for the proverbial return-to-the-grindstone of the traditional work week.
Weird thing, though, not everybody feels that way. I am one of those people who views Monday as the fresh start. It doesn't have quite the same feel as a new notebook, or turning the page on the calendar, but it does allow me to shake my arms and legs out a bit, like Usain Bolt about to go into the blocks before a big race.
Because, face it, from about 7:35 on Monday until 3 pm on Friday, that's pretty much how a teacher's work week seems to fly. It's a race, even if it does seem like a marathon at times.
21 Days of Happiness.
More than 3 weeks ago, I committed to returning to daily blogging as my own version of the 21 Days of Happiness project that my students were doing. Today, two classes shared the results of their projects, and the general consensus was that journaling and random acts of kindness seemed to have the greatest impact on personal happiness, with gratitude as a close third. Conversely, meditation was not a success.
One of the most interesting reports came from the recipient of kindness, rather than the RAK=giver herself. This student had taken it upon herself to write notes of encouragement with facts about Mondays.
"I know today is Monday and you assume it's going to suck, but according to statistics, there will be over 5,000 weddings, 10,000 childbirths, and 42 million hugs occurring today throughout the United States.... There will be 600 dogs adopted, ........ because according to statistics, it should actually be a really nice day....."
We all know that there is no sense in arguing statistics. And yes, it was Monday, and yes, one single letter passed out to some friends made an impact that started a comment, which generated a discussion, which created a blog topic, which made me wonder what wonderful statistics exist for Tuesday.
Have a great week!

I do quite a bit of buying on ebay. It is often the first place I look to find a good deal. I have known for many years about people using sites to bid in the last few seconds for them, but never really went to that extreme. But now I have. I was looking for a good add on to firefox for ebay when I found one for the site myibidder.com.
The program is actually called an "auction sniper" So this add-on adds a little icon in every ebay page that says "snipe this", and when you do so it has you enter a bid. Six seconds prior to the end of the aution it will put in your bid. By then it is too late for someone to outbid you.
Of course, if other people used ebay the way ebay wanted them to, the program won't work. Ebay says to put in the highest amount you are willing to pay, and it will automatically bid up to that amount for you. So if your co-bidders put in their max bid, and it is higher than your snipe, than you still won't get the item. However, a large portion of ebay bidders just bid the minimum bid and hope it will stay. If they get outbid, they may increase their bid. These are the people this program will outsmart.
I have used this for a day so far, and it has been working great for me!

Our program focuses on the land grant mission of Cornell University. We strive to work directly with regional agriculturalists to solve insect pest related issues. We employ effective, economically viable, integrated and cross disciplinary approaches (horticultural and pathologically sound) for conventional and organic production systems.
Key areas of study focus heavily on tree fruit, with emphasis on commercial production practices. Screening trials to better understand optimum placement and timing of insect pest management tools are conducted at the Hudson Valley Research Farm in apple and pear experimental orchard blocks. Trials specific to problem insects are also conducted on grower sites as both an educational venue for problem solving and as a research extension site for workshops to convey production practices. Laboratory bioassay studies are also conducted at the station facilities where rearing of various insect pest species can be observed under controlled environments during experiments. Invasive species studies that include both lab and field trials have become an important part of our focus.
Organic studies in pome fruit production are on-going. These include biological control applications employing sustainable nematode species applied to the orchard floor to reduce endemic populations of plum curculio (PC) management; use of treated exclusion netting to reduce migrating PC, microbial control using granulovirus virus specific for codling moth management and the incorporation of duel OFM and CM mating disruption for the lepidopteran complex being tested and use of barrier film in place of insecticides for managing the seasonal insect pest complex.
Organic brown marmorated stink bug testing is also ongoing with field and laboratory testing on field and laboratory reared colonies. We maintain partnerships with the NYS urban and suburban community through a statewide citizen science project on BMSB population movement through NY state.

Firefighter Corey Shaw, Du Quoin Fire Department, killed in wall collapse in Pinckneyville, Illinois. Was son of fire chief.
More from Firefighter Nation
More from Firefighter Close Calls
Du Quoin Fire Department
22-year-old Du Quoin firefighter Corey Shaw passed away due to injuries received while battling a fire that consumed an antique mall and opera house in Pinckneyville, Illinois. He was on a ladder fighting the fire when a wall from the antique mall collapsed onto him. He was first taken to a Pinckneyville hospital then flown to a St. Louis hospital for treatment. Pinckneyville is about 70 miles southeast of St. Louis, MO.
Corey Shaw, 22, was the son of Du Quoin Fire Chief Bob Shaw, officials say. Corey Shaw has served as a firefighter since July 2010.
The fire broke out at the Antique Mall about 3:30 p.m. on Friday, officials say. The vacant Kunz Opera House adjacent to the business also caught fire. It is unclear what started the fire, but lightning is being investigated as a possible cause. The Antique Mall had been around for nearly a century, the mayor says.
Above is a video showing the collapse of the front of the opera house. Reports indicate that Firefighter Shaw was killed by a wall collapsing at the antiques store.
Below are some short videos from Southern.com.

I had the pleasure of stopping by Rainbow Books last Friday for a chat with Ald. Marsha Rummel. I didn't know she was one of the founders of the co-op, however, I suspected that if I didn't find her there I'd at least find somebody who knew where she was. The Leftist conspiracy is a tight-knit one.
Rummel, one of the most vocal supporters of Madison's homeless population, told me that what Madison needs is more Single Occupancy Residences (SOR). SORs are better than shelters, many of which are unsanitary and unwelcoming. "Many people prefer to sleep in their cars" than to go to the church or the Porchlight public shelter.
Rummel also told me that, in order to break up settlements of vagrants (see comment below) living in cars, she pushed for an ordinance to create two hour parking on the two concerned blocks of E. Wilson.

Dana Callow to be Panelist at Funding Models in Biotech MBBP Life Sciences Series – Panel 3
Today's financing environment for emerging biotech companies presents a number of challenges. Venture capital funds are ever more cautious about taking risk, and some players have departed the field at the early stage. Government grants have also closed their spigots in recent years, as the volume of government funding has plummeted dramatically. However, new players have entered the fray in the last few years, including family offices, super angels, strategic partners and foreign investors, replacing the investment dollars previously offered by institutional investors. So where does an emerging biotech company forage for precious dollars? Come join us on September 22nd at the CIC in Cambridge to hear a panel of experts discuss these trends. At the event, you will discover, among other ideas: Where and how to find the new players; What areas of interest are these players financing; How to optimize your chances of success; What are deal structures looking like?

I attended a meeting this morning of the Reputation and Performance Portfolio Advisory Committee.
On the one hand the Council tells everybody that will listen that there are massive savings to be made and the sooner they are made the less severe they will be. However, if true, its process of dealing with that challenge is incredibly ponderous and will cost Cornwall dear.
So far members have had the opportunity of participating in one of nine pre meetings on the Council's Strategy. Then we all came in to hear the results of all that. Now we are having ten meetings to give us the opportunity of asking for more information on different aspects of the budget for different service areas and so it goes on......
I wonder whether the Council's reputation will be enhanced by this process.

Chicago is an American rock band formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. The band began as a politically charged, sometimes experimental, rock band and later moved to a predominantly softer sound, becoming famous for producing a number of hit ballads. They had a steady stream of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Second only to the Beach Boys in terms of singles and albums, Chicago is one of the longest running and most successful U.S. pop/rock and roll groups.[1]
According to Billboard, Chicago was the leading U.S. singles charting group during the 1970s. They have sold over 120 million albums worldwide, scoring 22 Gold, 18 Platinum, and 8 Multi-Platinum albums. Over the course of their career they have charted five No. 1 albums, and have had twenty-one top ten hits
hicago today
Despite the personnel changes over the years, the group is still active four decades after its founding. They are one of the few major rock groups that have never broken up or even taken an extended hiatus. Four of the six surviving founding members (major songwriters Lamm and Pankow, plus Loughnane and Parazaider) remain to this day providing continuity, while Jason Scheff has over 23 years with the band, Tris Imboden over 18, and Keith Howland over 13.
As a new century turned, the band licensed their entire recorded output to Rhino Records (after years with Columbia Records and Warner Brothers as well as their own short-lived label). In 2002, Rhino released a two-disc compilation, The Very Best of Chicago: Only The Beginning, which spans the band's entire career. The compilation made the Top 40 and sold over 2 million copies in the US. Rhino has also begun releasing remastered versions of all of the band's Columbia albums, each including several bonus tracks; and in 2005 they released a compilation entitled Love Songs.
Chicago continues to appear in big and small venues worldwide.[citation needed] In 2004–2005 they toured jointly with the band Earth, Wind & Fire; a DVD recorded during that tour, Chicago/Earth, Wind & Fire – Live at the Greek Theatre, was certified platinum just two months after its release.
The group released Chicago XXX, on March 21, 2006, their first all-new studio album since Twenty 1. Two songs from this album, "Feel" and "Caroline", were performed live during Chicago's Fall 2005 tour; the studio recording of "Feel" debuted on WPLJ radio in New York in November 2005. "Feel" was the first single released. The album contains two versions of the song: one with horns and an orchestral tag that echoes "Love Me Tomorrow", and another non-brass version. "Love Will Come Back" was the second single released. The album was produced by Rascal Flatts bassist Jay DeMarcus, who is a friend of Chicago bassist Jason Scheff. Seven of the 12 tracks were co-written by Scheff, and the album included a large roster of guest musicians, supplanting band members in many cases. While Chicago XXX did manage to debut at No. 41 on the US album chart (besting some other entries including Chicago XIV which hit US #71 and Twenty 1 which topped out at only US #66), it only remained in the top 200 for two weeks.
During March 2006, Chicago made a multi-week appearance at the MGM Grand Las Vegas, which was repeated in May of the same year. In July 2006, the band made a series of US appearances with Huey Lewis and the News. Highlights of that tour included Chicago's Bill Champlin performing with Huey Lewis and the News on a couple of songs, members of Huey Lewis and the News contributing to Chicago's percussion-laden song, "I'm a Man," and Huey Lewis singing the lead vocal on Chicago's "Colour My World."
In early 2006, original drummer Danny Seraphine formed California Transit Authority, who play many of the older Chicago songs.
At the end of 2006, the band played at CD USA's New Year's Eve party on Fremont Street in Las Vegas. Chicago toured the summer of 2007 with the band America. On October 2, 2007, Rhino Records released the two-disc The Best of Chicago: 40th Anniversary Edition, a new greatest hits compilation spanning their entire forty years, similar to The Very Best of: Only the Beginning, released four years earlier.
June 17, 2008 saw the official release of the Stone of Sisyphus album by Rhino Records, recorded in 1993 and originally slated for a March 1994 release until being shelved by Warner Records. The album contains eleven of the original twelve tracks (the raucous "Get on This" was left off), plus four demo recordings. Its official title is "Chicago XXXII: Stone of Sisyphus" (it was originally slated to be album #22). Summer of 2008 also included multiple European tour dates, with members of the horn section missing at various times. This trend of fill-in players has continued into 2009, with Lamm sometimes the only original member on stage. As Chicago has existed as a "faceless" band for years, the lack of original members may not concern the audience like it would with another long-lived band such as the Rolling Stones and high-profile members like Mick Jagger.
In 2009 Chicago reunited with Earth, Wind & Fire for yet another joint tour.[6]
In August 2009, Bill Champlin, who was with Chicago for 28 years, left the band to focus on his own music and solo career.[7]. His replacement is keyboardist Lou Pardini.
On December 12, 2009, Chicago performed nine songs live on stage at the Arena at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport, Connecticut as part of Brian Boitano's Skating Spectacular, taped for a New Year's Day NBC television broadcast. Boitano and other skaters performed live on the ice to the band's music.
Chicago is touring with the Doobie Brothers in 2010.

How would you really enjoy spending your life?
If you say that getting the money is the most important thing… you'll be doing things you don't like doing, in order to go on living, that is, to go on doing things you don't like doing. Which is stupid!
Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way.
I really like this video.
Really like it.
And yet real life isn't that simple, is it. These chase-your-dreams sentiments all paint a one-sided, black-and-white picture; if you're not chasing your dreams, you've betrayed yourself and succumbed to society's expectation.
Of course that's part of the story. Too often we're too afraid to do what we'd really love because we're afraid of, or have been convinced by, what society says to us. Too often we erect unnecessary barriers.
But that's just part of the story. Here's the other part: we make personal sacrifices for the things we think are worth it. We make personal sacrifices in our life choices for the people around us.
Sure, I can spend my life riding horses or writing poems and that would make me happy. But riding horses or writing poems may not give me the money to buy a laptop or internet access or books or music or a camera or a motorbike or the luxury of travelling overseas. And all those are things that would make me happy too.
More importantly. Riding horses or writing poems may not give me the money to… help pay for my sister's education. Help take care of my parents in their old age. Pay for my parents' medical fees. Riding horses or writing poems may not give me the money to… support my partner, buy my own home, start a family and give my children the best upbringing I can. And these are the things that, if I can't do, would make me really upset with myself and take away all the pleasure from riding horses or writing poems. It's difficult to enjoy even the thing you enjoy most if you're worrying about where your next meal is going to come from, or worse, your loved ones' next meal. Or whether your mum is going to live another few years or not, because you can't afford treatment. Money may not be the most important, but it sure can buy a lot, including security and a peace of mind.
So make the call; where along the spectrum are you willing to stand, how much sacrifice are you willing to make? Opportunity costs between your day to day personal dreams and enjoyment and the other things that money can buy. Just make sure you're not sacrificing the wrong things for the things that aren't worth it.
If money didn't matter?

Fox News: One of Nigeria's biggest daily newspapers reported that police implicated a goat in an attempted automobile theft. In a front-page article on Friday, the Vanguard newspaper said that two men tried to steal a Mazda car two days earlier in Kwara State, with one suspect transforming himself into a goat as vigilantes cornered him

Ellen Brown wants to know what's up with all the mysterious prison buses in the desert.
On a recent visit to Tucson, where I was invited to give a presentation on monetary reform, I was disturbed by a story of strange goings on in the desert. A little over a year ago, it seems, a new industrial facility sprang up on the edge of town. It was in a remote industrial zone and appeared to be a bus depot. The new enterprise was surrounded by an imposing security fence and bore no outward signs identifying its services. However, it soon became apparent that the compound was in the business of outfitting a fleet of prison buses. Thirty or so secondhand city buses were being reconfigured with prison bars in the windows and a coat of fresh paint bearing the "Wackenhut G4S" logo on the side.
Telegraph: Nazi angel of death Josef Mengele 'created twin town in Brazil'
In a new book, Mengele: the Angel of Death in South America, the Argentine historian Jorge Camarasa, a specialist in the post-war Nazi flight to South America, has painstakingly pieced together the Nazi doctor's mysterious later years.
After speaking to the townspeople of Candido Godoi, he is convinced that Mengele continued his genetic experiments with twins – with startling results.

Letter to Barack Obama on Assassination of JFK
I speak from personal knowledge and experience of having been told of the impending assassination of the President seven months before it happened by a Jose A. Rivera, a Civil Service employee of the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness of the National Institutes of Health. He was also a former US Army Colonel and member of the US Army Reserves. This information was given to US Secret Service Agent John W. Rice, in the presence of FBI Special Liaison Agent Orrin Bartlett in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Sunday, November 24, 1963. Mr. Bartlett was a liaison between the FBI, the Secret Service , and the White House. Mr. Bartlett called his Headquarters in Washington and the Baltimore Office of the FBI, asking that Mr. Rivera be brought in for Interrogation.
Letters to various Congressional Committees produced no interest or results, as did numerous Freedom of Information letters to the Secret Service, the FBI and the CIA. I testified before the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB) in Dallas in 1994. Records of mine and Rivera's are in the NARA II Collection of Kennedy Documents in Box 18 of the Douglas Horne (ARRB staff member) Section. In the interest of transparency and the spirit of change and Truth, I now plead that this issue be addressed, and soon, for the sake of all Americans and our future generations.
Most Respectfully,
Adele E. U. Edisen, Ph.D.

Washington Decoded: Negative review of Brothers in Arms: The Kennedys, the Castros, and the Politics of Murder By Gus Russo and Stephen Molton
Daily Mail: Actor Robert Vaughn on the RJK assassination
Reviews the Robert Kennedy assassination and supports the theory of Peter Evans book Nemesis that Aristotle Onassis was involved. Vaughn himself interviewed one of Evans' witnesses, Hélène Gaillet.
More disturbingly, Onassis went on to speak freely about Bobby. According to Hélène, Onassis's hatred for him was still vivid and intense.
In the small hours, Onassis walked Helene to the beach from where a launch would take her back to the Christina. They stood together, gazing out to sea, for a long time.
After a while, Hélène realised Onassis was talking to himself, in low, murmuring tones, like someone deep in prayer.
Finally, as she strained to hear what he was saying, he turned to her and, clearly and simply, said: 'You know, Hélène, I put up the money for Bobby Kennedy's murder.'
New York Post: 'RACISTS HIRED MAFIA TO KILL KING'
'THE COSA Nostra agreed to 'broker' the assassination (of Martin Luther King) for an amount somewhat in excess of $300,000 . . . (James Earl) Ray's contact in New Orleans was with a lieutenant of Carlos Marcello, the Southern Mafia chieftain in New Orleans."
So says a 1968 Justice Department memo that the FBI withheld from the Louis Stokes 1979 congressional investigation into the killings of Dr. King and JFK.
Another story based on the new book Legacy of Secrecy. Links Carlos Marcello with Joseph Milteer and James Earl Ray with Johnny Rosselli.

This dedicated author and investigator notes that neither the CIA nor the FBI was behind the assassinations of JFK and MLK.I wonder if this new book mentions Myron Billet.
Myron Billett was a messenger and go-between for Chicago Mafia don, Sam Giancana. In January l968 Giancana asked Billett to make the arrangements for "a very important meeting" between New York Mafia leader Carlo Gambino and some government representatives. Billett set up the meeting at a motel in Apalachin, New York, the site of an early l960s mob summit..
Billett said that at the meeting (which he attended) the three representatives of the CIA and FBI asked Carlo Gambino if he would accept a $l million contract to assassinate Martin Luther King. Billett recalled the exact words of Gambino's reply: "In no way would I or the family get involved with you people again. You messed up the Cuba deal. You messed up the Kennedy deal."
The CIA and FBI men said they would make "other arrangements" and departed
Interesting 911 article citing columns by William Safire and Robert Novak right after the attacks.
William Safire:
Robert Novak:
This site however shows that the use of the code name "Angel" for Air Force One was not exactly a secret.
William Safire:
The most worrisome aspect of these revelations has to do with the credibility of the "Air Force One is next" message. It is described clearly as a threat, not a friendly warning—but if so, why would the terrorists send the message? More to the point, how did they get the code-word information and transponder know-how that established their mala fides?
That knowledge of code words, presidential whereabouts and possession of secret procedures indicates that the terrorists may have a mole in the White House—that, or informants in the Secret Service, F.B.I., F.A.A. or C.I.A. If so, the first thing our war on terror needs is an Angleton-type counterspy.
Robert Novak:
"Security experts and airline officials agree privately that the simultaneous hijacking of four airliners was an 'inside job,' probably indicating complicity beyond malfeasance."
This site however shows that the use of the code name "Angel" for Air Force One was not exactly a secret.

An investigation was under way today into how a 65ft blade was mysteriously torn off a wind turbine amid reports of "strange lights" in the sky.
New York Post: JFK ASSASSINATION 'CONFESSION'
'YEAH, I HAD the son of a bitch killed. I'm glad I did. I'm sorry I couldn't have done it myself!"
These were the words of Carlos Marcello, the Mafia godfather of Louisiana and Texas. And he was talking about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Marcello's startling admission is in uncensored FBI files at the National Archives, detailed for the first time in a new encyclopedic book "Legacy of Secrecy."
Marcello confessed that he'd also met Lee Harvey Oswald and brought him into the plot via that Louisiana character David Ferrie, a person notably played by actor Joe Pesci in Oliver Stone's conspiracy movie "JFK."I have not read Legacy of Secrecy as yet, although I've read the authors' previous book Ultimate Sacrifice. This is important new evidence of conpiracy and the involvement of Carlos Marcello. It is also an attempt to minimize the involvement of the CIA in my opinion.
Kenneth J Vrtacnik saw President Kennedy's brain. See this document. Someone should really interview him further about this and about the JFK autopsy photographs.
The document refers to a Joe Scovitch, a secretary at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. Joseph Scovitch made a number of interesting posts at the JFK Lancer Forum, including this one.

Those who contributed to substantive changes to the JFK materials on the autopsy, were military men & women employed as staff at AFIP, DC. They told me, in direct conversations, 1984-1986, that they were directed by the Commander/Director AFIP to assist the FBI with the JFK materials. They changed the materials, photos & Xrays, in accord with FBI instructions. They were "made" to sign statements of non-disclosure with the FBI. This is their version, to which I would attest in a court of law, under oath. Their names were furnished by me to Lesar, Weisberg, Fetzer, etc. This is where it stands now.I have more on this which I may or may not post at a future time.
Good article by retired Special Forces Officer Dan Marvin on torture and assassination plots
...the people on the ground who do the really dangerous stuff - the killing, the terrorizing, and sabotage - are people from outside the agency. Special Forces personnel such as I, even common criminals loaned to the Company by underworld Mafia bosses, would be used and then maintained on the "rolls" or discarded in one fashion or another when the powers that be considered them "expendable." The late Green Beret Major John Strait put it clear and simple: "They [the CIA] use you like a condom. Once you've served their purpose, they shit-can you."

Wingnuts find proof that Obama's parents were divorced
The Obama divorce papers can now be seen here.
Thank God this didn't come out before the election. Seriously, one Ed Hale of Plains RadioNetwork who obtained this document originally said that the document contained proof that Obama was born in Kenya. But it doesn't. See here for the back story.

A new year, a new beginning
I began 2009 by getting up, making some coffee and sitting down to reread JFK and the Unspeakable by James W. Douglass. I was struck once again by this prophetic passage from the contemplative monk Thomas Merton, written January 1962:

I have little confidence in Kennedy, I think he cannot measure up to the magnitude of his task, and lacks creative imagination and the deeper kind of sensitivity that is needed. To much the Time and Life mentality, than which I can imagine nothing further, in reality, from, say, Lincoln. What is needed is really not shrewdness or craft, but what the politicians don't have: depth, humanity and a certain totality of self-forgetfulness and compasion, not just for individuals but for man as a whole: a deeper kind of dedication. Maybe Kennedy will break through into that some day by miracle. But such people are before long marked out for assassination.
