Cessnock Council's draft Traffic and Transport Strategy is on public exhibition

Cessnock City Council is seeking community input on its draft traffic and transport strategy for the local government area.

The strategy, now on public exhibition, comes in response to an increase in population and associated travel demand.

By 2041, the number of dwellings in the Cessnock LGA is predicted to reach 39,225, which represents a 65 percent increase. This growth is expected to result in further traffic and parking demands.

Cessnock mayor Bob Pynsent said adopting a robust plan for the future traffic and transport demands is a priority for the council.

“The aim of this strategy is to identify current network deficiencies and both improve and future-proof the transport network for our residents,” Cr Pynsent said.

“We have taken into account travel patterns, parking, travel behaviour, road safety, public transport needs, congestion, along with walking and cycling needs.

“I encourage everyone to take the time to look at the strategy and make a submission.”

The draft Cessnock LGA Traffic and Transport Strategy is on public exhibition at council’s website, administration building and Cessnock and Kurri Kurri libraries until July 24.

Drop-in sessions will be held at Cessnock Library on Tuesday, June 20 from 9am to 12pm and Kurri Kurri Library on Wednesday, June 21 from 2pm to 6pm.

Discuss "Have your say on traffic and transport strategy"

Petition Closed
Petitioning U.S. Congress

Make non-binding resolutions illegal

The U.S. Congress just wasted taxpayer funds and precious time passing the non-binding resolution to keep "In God We Trust" as the national motto, having done the same only five years ago. Ignoring the need to deal with our horrible economy and the lives being destroyed by increasing poverty, both taxpayer dollars and precious time were wasted on this, a document that carries no weight, means nothing, makes no jobs, and helps no one. Other non-binding resolutions are equally qualified as "waste, fraud, and abuse", though the Office of Inspector General doesn't seem interested. They waste taxpayer dollars and Congress' preciously limited time (though they find plenty of time for fundraising, too, while avoiding jobs bills and economic recovery action). They assert some belief for the sake of election votes while providing no objective way to prove such potentially fraudulent beliefs. And, they abuse the taxpayers who are mandated by law to pay for such excesses. This needs to stop.

This petition was delivered to:
  • U.S. Congress

    This petition starter stood up and took action. Will you do the same?

Re: “Get up, stand up, on a paddleboard

PleaseNoPosers - Your comment has been mentioned to me by several people. As the writer of this story, it's important to note that my initial piece read

"It's almost too easy. No wonder that some surfers express disdain for their new neighbors on the water. Heck, you could teach a monkey to do this."

I don't think it's a wonder that surfers show disdain for paddleboarders. In fact, I think it's 'no wonder.'
Because of novices like me out there, able to ride waves we weren't able to ride before.

Other points duly noted.

Re: “Get up, stand up, on a paddleboard

"It was almost too easy. In fact, it's a wonder that some surfers express disdain for their new neighbors. Heck, you could teach a monkey to do this."

Thanks for bringing attention to the "Sport of Kings". While portions of your article are correct (easier to pick up speed and scout waves) fundamental aspects grossly underplay the learning curve for most people (even talented, athletic, lifelong surfers) to truly learn how to surf "real" waves on a SUP. I am not talking about "catching" knee high ankle biters on a glassy day or paddling ponds and tidal creeks. I am pointing to truly surfing (surfer & equipment under control, able to turn, slow down, accelerate) on actual waves (waist high plus) let alone safely paddle out while standing head on to incoming chest high+ sets without board and surfer becoming lethal projectiles to others in the water (these would be the surfers w/disdain you refer to). The truth is to attain a "safe" level of mastery requires exceptional athleticism and a rigid commitment to be in the water for hours every week - for months. I helped pioneer the sport here in Charleston over five years ago - convincing many of the local shops to start carrying SUP's so I could maintain overall surf fitness the way my friends in Hawaii and California have been doing for the last decade. Over those five plus years I have introduced many of my prone surfing brethren to SUP (these are guys who surf super challenging waves in Hawaii, Costa Rica, etc...). Their learning curve - to truly master surfing an SUP was equal parts steep and comical. They, like me, eventually got it - after dedicating countless hours and months of trial and error. The world's best surfers like Laird Hamilton, Brian Keaulana, Gerry Lopez, Kai Lenny have taken to SUP - in many cases now favoring SUP exclusively over prone surfing b/c the challenge and fitness benefits are far greater than what prone surfing offers.

I am grateful that your article will quite likely help many of my surf shop owner friends sell more equipment and clothing but am concerned it will put more than a few people in harms way. If by chance you are still wondering why some surfers express disdain for their new neighbors? Look no further than your article. Please, study your subject a bit more carefully before you go to press. Also - throw a few more basic safety tips out there... take a couple lessons with a seasoned instructor, always wear a leash, stay clear (50 yards is a good start) from swimmers & other surfers, stay out of the "lineup".

Pregnancy and Cleaning - Staying Safe

Written by

Published Jun 17, 2016

Cleaning is one activity you should be careful about. While it is true that a healthy home environment is a clean and sanitized one, it is also true that it is something you won’t be able to devote as much effort to as before.

There is nothing more important than staying healthy during pregnancy. There are a lot of factors to consider, if you are expecting a child and you still want to do your fair share of household chores.

You must approach every home cleaning task with care, if you want to ensure you are fine. Here are few tips for you to consider:

You will fine doing basic chores, such as everyday dusting, vacuuming, and cleaning countertops of your kitchen and bathroom is still fine. Granted you do not overwork yourself, there is no problem in getting some physical activity in the form of doing such cleaning service yourself. Remember to take regular breaks if you get tired too quickly or just go with professional cleaners if that is an option for you.

  • Use some protection gear - chances are the skin of your hands has gotten sensitive during pregnancy. An allergy caused by some cleaning product is the last thing you want to deal with. That is why wearing gloves during any cleaning routine should become a habit for you. It would also be nice to protect yourself from dangerous fumes by wearing a mask.

  • Avoid dangerous chemicals - a lot of cleaning products out there hold a certain risk for a developing baby’s health. For example, solvents (varnish removers, oven cleaners, paint thinners) should be avoided at all costs. To be on the safe side, you can also exclude anything labeled with ‘toxic’ during your cleaning efforts.

  • Resort to green cleaning solutions - there are plenty of recipes that you can utilize to clean your home while pregnant, without any risk whatsoever. There are numerous cleaning recipes out there that involve baking soda or vinegar as main ingredients. The good thing about them is that they are not only safe to use, but also quite effective at various home cleaning chores.

  • Ask for assistance - don’t be afraid to pull the pregnancy card on your husband and have him deal with certain cleaning chores.

5 Reasons ‘House of Cards’ Dropped Off in Season 3

When House of Cards first hit Netflix two years ago, it heralded a new age for streaming television. Critics and fans alike agreed: They had struck gold with the political drama masterpiece starring Kevin Spacey as the morally ambiguous Congressman Frank Underwood. Its second season proved to be more of the same, building on its already rich story and ending with a massive cliffhanger that had us clawing for more. And then along came Season 3.

Season 3 was rife with problems, from a scattered storyline to a focus that baffled many who marathoned through it in the first weekend it hit Netflix. Its myriad issues were well-documented, making for a season that shook the faith of many who before thought House of Cards could do no wrong.

*Spoilers for all of Season 3 of House of Cards are ahead, so consider this your warning!*

1. Things became far too much about the marriage of Frank and Claire Underwood

The marriage of Frank and Claire Underwood has always been a powerful one. They’re two independent-minded individuals with massive ambitions, and each is always looking to help along the other’s career. When they fight, it’s usually because their ambitions directly impede each other. For Season 3, though, we have Frank going out of his way to move Claire into a position as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, only to see her overreach and be maneuvered out in just a few episodes. The season ends with her walking out on Frank, a move that felt far more contrived than earned. It served only to diminish a marriage that had been the foundation of the series and throws out the rock on which this show was built.

2. The political aspects of the drama stopped feeling realistic

The first two seasons of House of Cards were set to a backdrop of political drama that seemed just feasible enough to actually happen in our own society. While Season 2’s resignation of the president seemed a tad far-fetched, at the very least it put Frank in the big chair in the White House, creating an appealing plot twist for following episodes. But what we’ve had lately has seemed far outside the realm of believability. From the almost-war with Russia over landing troops in the Middle East, to a proposed bill that would have completely eliminated Social Security (something far too drastic for our glacial Congress to ever pull the trigger on), the drama stopped feeling realistic, which in turn affected our ability to truly invest in the stakes.

Source: Netflix

3. The overall focus of the season’s plot lacked the precision of Seasons 1 and 2

The story beats of the initial seasons of this show were intricate, but still they felt meticulously planned out. From the very second Frank Underwood was denied a position as Secretary of State, his plan was to unseat the entire administration until he himself became president. We saw that plan play out step by step over 26 episodes, and it worked beautifully. At no point did we feel as though the show’s writers lacked a clear vision for how things would end up. Conversely, Season 3 had us out at sea in more ways than one, and still it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel for this show. The beginning/middle/end story structure that makes a show watchable has largely been lost, giving the show a feeling of randomness more than the cohesion that made it so strong in the past.

Source: Netflix

4. We stopped believing in consequences for Frank Underwood

Season 3 started with such great promise, as we saw President Underwood dealing with the consequences of his almost universal belittling of his colleagues. However, that all comes to an end quickly. After building tension for the Iowa presidential primaries, showrunners gloss over Underwood’s victory as an afterthought. They spend a whole season looking for Rachel in the New Mexico desert, only to unceremoniously kill her off. A biographer follows Underwood around to chronicle his life story, swiftly followed by him being shown the door and carted out of the plot. What it gave us was a feeling that no matter what drama is built up, Frank Underwood will always come out on top.

Source: Netflix

5. The season ended in the ultimate anti-climax

It only seemed appropriate that an uneven season would end unevenly. Episode after episode of political drama, campaigning, and marital issues ended Season 3 on the “cliffhanger” of Claire Underwood walking out on Frank. It’s a move that upsets the balance of the show, feeling less like a way to end a season and more like a move writers felt obligated to make when there was nowhere left to go. Now they will be left trying to figure out the mess this makes of the show’s key character dynamic.

Can ‘True Detective’ Do Better at the Golden Globes?

True Detective

source: HBO

HBO’s hit new show True Detective might have been one of the most talked about and critically acclaimed series of last year, but the philosophical detective story starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson has yet to win big in the awards show department.

After a surprise upset at the Emmys last year which left the show empty-handed in the bigger categories despite being considered a frontrunner for both Best Actor and Best Drama Series, HBO has changed tack with entering the series in the Golden Globes as a miniseries rather than a drama. This move, however, could end up leaving what many consider to be the best show of last year without any trophies again and make one of the most inventive new shows in years pack up its bags and go home essentially award-less.

Before Emmy nominations were announced, critics were unsure whether True Detective would go in as a drama or a miniseries. The anthology format is relatively new and at that time details were pretty sketchy about the show’s prospects of a second season. The miniseries category seemed by far a safer bet for the show to win, given that the Emmy favorite Breaking Bad was in its final season. Due to the anthology format and the Breaking Bad competition, most thought True Detective would go in as a miniseries.

Then HBO decided to go big or go home and entered the show in the drama category anyway and it lost in the major categories to Breaking Bad. The show only took home trophies for directing, cinematography, casting, non-prosthetic makeup, and its title sequence.

Some critics lamented the faulty logic on the part of the Emmy voters, pointing out that Breaking Bad has already been honored many times by the academy, including for the first half of its last season last year. The first season of True Detective will never get another chance to win an Emmy. McConaughey’s breathtaking portrayal of the nihilistic hyper-intelligent Rust Cohle will never get another Emmy nomination even though it’s considered to be a major part of the actor’s career reinvention that took place last year.

HBO does have a chance to do the awards thing again with season one of True Detective at the Golden Globes, which are the next-biggest ceremony honoring TV and are widely watched due to being an indicator for the Oscars and for Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who we can only hope will become the ceremony’s permanent hosts. The question now is whether the show can beat the miniseries frontrunner that many critics have called the best show of the year: FX’s Fargo.

Fargo has much in common with True Detective. Both series are dark crime stories with an anthology format and two big-name actors leading the bill. They both landed near the top of many critics’ year-end top 10 lists, but Fargo is actually coming out on top more frequently than True Detective. NPR critic Eric Deggans echoed the sentiment of many critics in saying that True Detective’s rushed ending was its weakest point and prevented it from being the best show of 2014.

True Detective is going up against Fargo for best TV movie or miniseries. Similar to the Emmys, both Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are nominated for best lead actor, but they are up against Fargo’s Billy Bob Thornton. True Detective’s Michelle Monaghan got a nod for best supporting actress, but given that True Detective’s writing was widely criticized for its flat portrayals of women, her performance will likely be overlooked.

The drama category, however, is looking less competitive. The new arena of miniseries and anthology series has been fertile breeding ground for creativity in what critics are referring to as television’s golden era. The nominees for best drama series at the Golden Globes are Downton Abbey, The Affair, Game of Thrones, House of Cards, and The Good Wife. While all of those shows received acclaim in their own right, none of them were met with the critical fervor of Fargo and True Detective. Had True Detective been entered in the drama category this time, it likely would’ve swept the floor with the competition. Going in as a miniseries this time actually puts the show up against stronger competition with Fargo.

Do the Eagles Have the Best Backfield in the NFL?

Wesley Hitt/Getty Images

Wesley Hitt/Getty Image

The Philadelphia Eagles have treated the 2015 free agency period with the same speed and uptempo approach that they bring to the field on Sundays and, in doing so, have completely turned the National Football League upside down.

Chip Kelly has used his power over personnel to completely revamp the roster, and only time will tell if his maneuvers prove to be successful. One of the more questionable decisions that he’s made so far has to be the “quarterback swap” with the St. Louis Rams. In this trade, Eagles essentially sent Nick Foles and draft picks to the Rams in exchange for other draft picks and QB Sam Bradford. This move baffled both experts and fans, but it should be considered verification that Kelly is not going to sit on his hands, but rather take full advantage of his newfound control. And while this decision was a bit of a stunner, it pales in comparison to the moves made at the running back position.

This offseason started with a bang, as the Eagles traded running back LeSean McCoy to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for linebacker Kiko Alonso. This may have been unpopular with the Eagles faithful, but it made sense from a financial standpoint. Besides, Shady’s east-west running approach was not exactly conducive to the offensive scheme that Kelly likes to run, so it should’ve come as no surprise when the Eagles went after, and came to an agreement with, former San Francisco 49er Frank Gore. However, in a shocking twist, Gore backed out and decided to sign with the Indianapolis Colts.  And yet, when it seemed as if the Eagles may have botched things up, a new development began to take shape.

Not only were the Eagles able to come to terms with former Pro Bowl back Ryan Mathews, but they were also able to lure superstar DeMarco Murray away from the rival Dallas Cowboys. In doing so, the Eagles had now created a backfield of Murray, Mathews, Darren Sproles, and Chris Polk. All in all, we’d say they made out pretty well in the end. However, is it enough to consider the Eagles backfield the best in the NFL?

Harry How/Getty Images

Harry How/Getty Images

There is no doubt that LeSean McCoy was a productive back during his time in Philadelphia. He led the league in rushing in 2013 with 1,607 yards on the ground, and he also added 9 rushing touchdowns. However, his numbers tapered off in 2014, when he only accounted for 1,319 rushing yards and five touchdowns. If you couple that with his large salary cap hit, it makes sense to move on from him in 2015. But, now let’s see what the Eagles planned on replacing his production.

When the Eagles decided to sign former San Diego Charger Ryan Mathews, they were well aware of numerous injuries he’s suffered in his five NFL seasons. Not to mention that last year he only played in eight games where he rushed for just 330. However, his three-year, $11.5 million contract would be a steal if he was able to revert back to the 1,225 rushing-yard 2013 season. He will also not be expected to carry the load in Philadelphia, and that’s why bringing in DeMarco Murray was such a remarkable coup.

It may seem a bit steep to bring in the oft-injured Murray on a five-year, $42 million deal that comes with $21 million guaranteed, but Kelly considers this to be a bargain. It’s highly unlike that Murray will be able to repeat last season’s league-leading 1,845 rushing yards, but the Eagles aren’t planning on giving him the ball 392 times either. The key to this backfield is going to be balance, because there is no point in overworking a guy like Murray when you have three other more than capable running backs. Philadelphia can also rotate backfield players that already exist on their roster. In Darren Sproles, the Eagles have an extremely talented pass-catching back. There is also Chris Polk, who has become a red zone specialist for Philadelphia. This team is now loaded with capable running backs who will be able to alleviate some of the pressure off of DeMarco Murray. It appears this is the vision of Chip Kelly.

Rich Schultz/Getty Images

Heading into free agency, Chip Kelly believed that the Eagles needed to look at the three best available running backs. When discussing this, Kelly said:

We thought the three best guys were Frank, DeMarco and Ryan. We wanted to target two of them and we ended up with two of them. Did we have a master plan that was exactly going to work out like this? No, but we went into it with the idea that if we lose LeSean we better get two guys. You’ve got to have as many good players as you can.

In the eyes of the man making all the decisions, the Philadelphia Eagles have done a great job replenishing their backfield. Adding downhill runners like Murray and Mathews to a group that already includes Sproles and Polk, only makes the Eagles look that much more lethal from a running back standpoint. Will this group be the best in the entire NFL? It’s too soon to tell. But if you look at it on paper, there is no reason to think that the Eagles backfield can’t move to the front of the class.

Berkeley Angeline's dinner report

buster | Jul 25, 2006 05:30 AM

Angelines (in the old Long Life noodle location on Shattuck)was open for dinner.

Started with the barbecued shrip. Man, that sauce was good. Lots of BBQ sauce, so after finishing the shrimp, we used the accompanying slices of bread to sop up more sauce. Also had some pepper jack corn muffins. Very good, though not great.

Also had a shrimp po-boy and a cup of gumbo. The cup was very big and very savory. Had a big chunk of crab and sausage in it and a nice spiciness. Obviously there is a bottle of Tabasco if you need more heat.

I only had half of the po-boy since I was stuffed by now, but was also tasty. Similar to the La Bayou po-boy.

No room for dessert, but I noticed they had a Bananas Foster creme brulee.

A good choice for those downtown looking for another option for lunch or dinner.

Cianbro’s Sarah Long Bridge Replacement Team Reaches New Safety Milestone

Jun 14 2017

The original plan was to celebrate the Sarah Mildred Long Bridge Replacement team’s remarkable safety performance when the Cianbro safety hours tally reached 900 work days and 400,000 hours without an OSHA recordable injury. By the time the hard working Cianbro team was able to take a brief time-out for a celebration, they had racked up an additional two months’ worth of safe work days. So, on June 2nd, the team settled down to a celebratory lobster bake commemorating 960 work days and 440,000 work hours without an OSHA recordable injury.

The safety feat encompasses the full duration of the massive Sarah Long project. The effort to replace the old Sarah Long Bridge began with mobilization to the jobsite in October of 2014. Throughout the months since then, the Cianbro team has remained injury free, despite the tremendous hazards that are inherent in a project of this scope, and the large workforce that is necessary to have a hand on the work.

Cianbro Safety Manager Mike Franck says the biggest part of the team’s success springs from the expectation that was agreed upon by every team member from the start: Everybody would have each other’s back.

“And I think what is happening now is people are really identifying the hazards out in the field,” said Mike. “They’re letting their team members know if their face shield is not down or if they don’t have their safety glasses on. People are taking ownership of their safety. It’s not just about policies and procedures, it’s about how they’re going to take ownership of the next move they make: ‘Will it be just following the policies, or am I going to say from point A to point B, I’m going to watch out for every hazard or anything that happens on the job, whether it’s moving equipment, overhead loads, whatever.’ We’re making sure to have that situational awareness all the time while we’re on the project.”

Senior Project Manager Kaven Philbrook adds that Cianbro’s safety performance is especially significant because of the hazardous nature of the work.

“We have thousands of crane picks that are maximum capacity picks,” said Kaven, who mentioned a task that Infrastructure Vice President Keith Anderson has held up as an example of Cianbro safety in action, in the midst of heavy and complicated operations. “We installed over a million pounds of steel in two different counterweight boxes at the bridge. Over two hundred picks from the ground to 200 feet in the air – each pick although not heavy compared to the other lifts we do every day presented a risk in itself. By focusing on every detail and not getting complacent the team completed the task safely. We have another two hundred plates to go and will no doubt accomplish the balance of the operation safely by continuing to do what the team has done from the beginning and that is communicate and look out for each other.”

The team is currently sprinting down the home stretch toward a fall completion date. The stunning visual impact of the new bridge has inspired positive comments from increasing numbers of local citizens, according to Cianbro team members. Still, the safety accomplishment ranks high upon the team’s priority list.

“The safety performance by the Sarah Long Team sets a great example,” said Senior Project Engineer Pete Malikowski. “Not only are we building a great looking job, but the safety performance has been our proudest achievement down here.”

"On safety, we don't need to work harder, we all need to work smarter." ~Project Manager Hank Cook

Requesting a Regrade

Credit for work will be recorded only as reported by the TA in the Gradebook in Canvas. It is your responsibility to make sure that your work has been properly recorded in the Gradebook.

Make sure you notify the TA of any problems regarding missing records or incorrectly entered scores; the grade entries in Canvas will be considered permanent one week subsequent to their posting.

If you need to request a regrade for an assignment, please try to adhere to the following policy:

  • If there was a math mistake in calculating or recording your grade, please email the TA who graded it. I'm sure they'll be happy to fix it.
  • If you lost points for something you did correctly, e.g. the grader said "-2 points for not doing X" and you actually did do that (or something similar), please speak with the TA who graded it during office hours. I think it's easier to discuss these things in person than over email. However, if you can't attend their office hours, then email them to try to arrange another time to meet.
  • For any other issues, please contact the instructor. This may be things like "I didn't realize we had to do X," "I misunderstood this part of the assignment," etc. This isn't to say that you'll necessarily get points back for your misunderstanding, but issues such as these should go to the instructor.

Back to Top

Academic Integrity

All work submitted for this class is expected to be your own, unless otherwise noted in the assignment instructions. If you are caught submitting work that is completely copied from some other source, or that has been prepared by somebody other than you, you will face severe discipline by the university.

Homework assignments are to be completed individually unless explicitly stated. You may talk to fellow classmates regarding the assignment and share ideas on Piazza, but keep in mind what is appropriate and inappropriate about your collaboration:

  • Person A doesn't understand what exactly the problem is asking, e.g. writing actual code vs. pseudocode. He discusses this with Person B to arrive at one or the other.
  • Person A does not understand a particular concept. Person B explains the concept using an example, other than one asked on the homework.

  • A attempts half the problem, and B attempts the other half. A and B copy the solutions to half the assignment that the other person wrote.
  • Together, A and B work out each homework problem on chalk/white board; then they separately copy down their work and turn it in.
  • Person A completed a programming assignment and just before turning it in, he deleted his program - oh no!!!. In desperation, he asks Person B if he can turn in a copy of her program.
  • Person A happens to be in the lab working on the assignment and notices that Person B is working on the same assignment. Person A is having trouble compiling his program, and asks Person B to fix the problem for him. Sounds safe, right? It's not.

Note: When in doubt always ask the instructor or TA first, to avoid any potential collabration that can lead to academic dishonesty.

You can further read Penn's Code of Academic Integrity page on this subject matter.

Back to Top

Homework turn-in procedure

You will turn-in all homework assignments using Canvas.

You may submit multiple times, but only the last submission will be graded.

Submissions after the deadline are subject to a 10% per day penalty, up to seven days, after which the submission will not be accepted.

Greensboro News & Record mentions ClaroLux's® recent patent filings

News & Record - Business Briefs: Aug. 7, 2015

ORLANDO, Fla. — SeaWorld says its theme park attendance is still falling as animal activists protest the company’s treatment of whales, but its shares edged higher after the company maintained its projections for the year.

The company has been trying to recover from the 2013 documentary film “Blackfish” that suggested the treatment of captive provokes violent behavior. Park attendance dropped after the release of the documentary, and the company’s stock has fallen 50 percent over the past two years. SeaWorld also cut prices to lure more people to its parks, and that has cut into the revenue it books per visitor.

SeaWorld Entertainment runs 11 theme parks, including three SeaWorld locations. Its second-quarter profit and revenue both fell short of analyst estimates as it spent more money on a marketing campaign intended to counter the bad publicity and said attendance fell around 2 percent.

Coal mining company fined $2M for pollution violations

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — One of the nation’s largest coal mining companies will pay a $2 million federal fine for exceeding pollution discharge limits at Appalachian mines in several states.

The U.S. Justice Department and Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday announced the agreement with Arch Coal and its subsidiaries. It says excess releases of aluminum, manganese, iron and suspended solids occurred at mines in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia over the past six years. About 1,200 violations occurred, though 700 were resolved previously by state enforcement agencies in Kentucky and West Virginia.

Of the $2 million fine, $1 million will go to the government and $895,000 to West Virginia.

McDonald’s to eliminate over 200 corporate jobs

NEW YORK — McDonald’s says it is cutting about 225 corporate jobs as part of a push intended to revitalize its flagging business.

The world’s biggest hamburger chain says the cuts include about 135 positions at its corporate headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill., where it says it has about 2,100 employees. An additional 90 positions are being cut overseas, the company said. It says employees were notified last month.

The move comes as McDonald’s chief executive officer, Steve Easterbrook, has said he will target $300 million in cost cuts by 2017.

I am Andrew Brown and writing essays on anthropology gives me plenty of knowledge and expertise in the same field.  My strength is that I have a positive attitude and I love challenges, I find interest in what I do or engaged with. I respect and value the time as a result I used to accomplish the works that are assigned to me very quickly but in a satisfying way. I am at ease to work with all sorts of organizations and any kind of people due to my adaptable skill. I am from United Kingdom and am 42 years of old. Presently, I am living with my parents, spouse and two kids. I have taken my degrees in bachelor's degree, Master's Degree and PhD in anthropology.  I attained my degrees from the University of East London. After completing my degree studies, I was appointed in a college as a teacher in the subject of anthropology. I have the experience of more than 14 years as a teacher. Right now, I am also working for an online essay writing service. I am working as an academic assignment writer for the past eight years.

During my school days my favorite subject was mathematics and I desired to become a teacher in mathematics. But after completing my matriculation I lost my interest in mathematics and I decided to study about anthropology further during my high school studies and degree studies.  It is spot on that bachelor's degree, Master's Degree and PhD in anthropology indeed gave me not only thorough knowledge but also understanding in this field. Studying the subject anthropology gave me thorough knowledge in some other fields as well such as education, health care, museum creation, social work, international development, government, organizational psychology, non-profit management, marketing, publishing, and forensics etc. Today I strongly believe that majoring in anthropology was one of the finest decisions I made in my life. The field of anthropology has provided me the valuable insight into the theoretical and practical knowledge in plenty of areas that indeed makes me expertise in writing assignments and essays on anthropology.

Since my main attention is on writing essays on anthropology as a writer, I was fortunate to write scores of essays and complete plenty of assignments on anthropology of diverse students. The students were enormously elated with my work and I am glad that I could help them to achieve good grades for higher studies. Thus I can promise you that my work will be ample enough to create you contented and achieve more marks. Yet if you discover that my work is not up to the mark, you can request me for the revision. I will be so pleased to carry out the revision for you up to 2 times.

Writing essays on anthropology is my chief task to carry out as a writer. My expertise subject areas are anthropology and mathematics. I could carry out more than 101 essay and assignments on anthropology as an academic writer. I have also got the chance to write essays on mathematics. So I am also able to do articles, assignments and essays on mathematics as well. My analytical reading and clear thinking have permitted me to handle both anthropology and mathematics alike. It is exactly true that my working experience as teacher and writer offers me enough and passable expertise in writing essays on anthropology. My skills in applying theories, employing research methodologies, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing extensive sets of data specializes me in writing essays on anthropology. My general research skills and also skills in presenting logical and well-supported arguments, critical evaluation, self-management including planning and meeting deadlines, and capability to approach issues from multiple perspectives indeed helps me a lot to write essays on anthropology.

Writing essays on anthropology is a common requirement for the students who major in anthropology. But writing essays on anthropology can be tough task for the students because in anthropology they are expected to read widely and critically. Anthropology indeed focuses on the study of human groups with other social science disciplines like political science, sociology, and economics. It is generally said that writing an essay in anthropology is very akin to writing an argumentative essay in other disciplines like political science, sociology, and economics. In majority of the cases, the lone distinction is in the type of evidence you employ to back up your argument. First of all, try to find out a suitable topic for writing essays on anthropology. When you are deciding a subject for writing an anthropology essay, always select for the subject where you have reasonable awareness and knowledge. Writing essays on anthropology assists you to develop skills in organization, analysis and logical argument. In writing anthropology essays, you are cheered to make knowledgeable judgments, backed up with suitable evidence. After finding suitable topic, go for collecting ample materials that are required to complete a commanding essay on anthropology. Make sure that you collect materials from the reliable and genuine sources. Subsequent to culling materials, organize the materials that you have gathered to make it precise and accurate. Then try to prepare a brief outline of each part of the assignment previous to writing your essay.  Keep your mind on to each part of the assignment to be familiar with how many issues you need to talk to get full credit. It is spot on that the style and organization of your paper has a single intention that is to assist the reader to comprehend what you have to say. As a result, attempt to be as clear as possible. Your essays on anthropology should be well rounded and present balanced arguments rather than presenting arguments for the sake of explaining it. Your essay should have proper introduction, properly structured paragraphs and well recapped conclusion to grab the attention of the readers. Include references, bibliography and citation in your essays on anthropology. All quotations should be acknowledged to keep away from the threat of plagiarism. Now you have not completed writing your essay on anthropology. The next step is proofreading. Find out mistakes and make it correct.  Read the complete essay as much you can and make the correction if needed. So if you are capable of following these steps, you can easily write a commanding essay on anthropology.

I have always tried to produce free of errors works consistently. Yet if you see that the work is plagiarized and also cannot be used for your academic purposes, I will provide the refund if you require but you have to make me convinced that the work is unoriginal.  If you desire to show that my works are derivative you must offer me the screenshot of plagiarism report with your order inside one week of time.

I am a sincere employee who looks after all the rules and strategies of to which I am working for. It is obvious that I should not take any actions in opposition to the rule. I have not taken any actions against the company so far and I will not act against the company in the future as well.

A T-SQL Regular Expression Library for SQL Server 2005

, 13 Dec 2008

Please Sign up or sign in to vote.
This article shows the reader how to construct a library of scalar and table valued functions for SQL Server 2005 to perform regular expression analysis.

With the advent of CLR integration into SQL Server 2005, it has become incredibly easy to extend the power of the T-SQL programming language. Two of the areas that can be improved upon by way of CLR integration are string matching and string manipulation.

T-SQL has a handful of basic string matching functions (e.g. CHARINDEX, PATINDEX, SOUNDEX) and string matching operators (e.g. =, <>, <, >, LIKE). These are insufficient for tasks such as creating a check constraint on a column of email addresses where you want to ensure only valid email addresses exist. The most common way to validate strings like this is by using regular expressions. This is where CLR integration comes into play.

SQL Server 2005 now allows you to create user defined functions (among other things) using your .NET language of choice. This article will demonstrate how to develop a set of general purpose, user-defined, regular expression functions for consumption in T-SQL using C#.

Using the Code

General Approach

My objective here is to wrap some of the more commonly used static methods of the RegEx class in the .NET Framework into something useable in a T-SQL environment. I felt the best approach was to develop this wrapper as a set of user defined functions that closely mirror the inputs and outputs of these methods in the RegEx class.

All four of the functions listed in this article share the same first two parameters:

This is the string to be analyzed. You may pass either a literal string, or a column name. This is the string on which the regular expression will be executed.

This is the regular expression which will be executed against the @Input parameter.

In addition, all four functions share the same last parameter.

@IgnoreCase BIT

This is a boolean parameter which when set to "1" will instruct the regular expression engine to ignore cases when executing the regular expression against the input string. If this parameter is set to "0", a case-sensitive analysis will be performed.

The purpose of this function is to mirror the functionality of the Regex.IsMatch method. In short, if the pattern specified in the @Pattern parameter is found within the string specified by @Input, the return value will be "1". Otherwise, the return value will be "0".

While ufn_RegExIsMatch will tell you if there is a match of @Pattern within @Input, this function will tell you what the matches are, where they are located in the string and how long each match is. This function wraps the functionality of the Regex.Matches method in the .NET Framework. This function returns a table. The columns of this table are as follows:

MatchIndex INT
MatchLength INT

This function mirrors the functionality of Regex.Replace in the .NET Framework and closely resembles the functionality of the REPLACE function in T-SQL. The primary difference between ufn_RegExReplace and REPLACE is that the matching in REPLACE is done solely on literal string match comparison while ufn_RegExReplace matches based on the regular expression specified in the @Pattern parameter.

ufn_RegExReplace also takes an additional parameter that none of the other functions in this library contain which is the @Replacement parameter. This is another NVARCHAR(MAX) parameter which specifies the literal string used to replace matches identified in @Input when @Pattern is executed.

This function returns an NVARCHAR(MAX)which represents the input string with the specified replacements in place.

Splitting a delimited string into its elements is a common task among T-SQL developers. The ufn_RegExSplit function does exactly that. This implementation uses the Regex.Split method from the .NET Framework. ufn_RegExSplit, much like the ufn_RegExMatches function returns a table as its output. This table however has only one column which is of the data type NVARCHAR(MAX). The column name is Match and it contains the elements of the string split out by the delimiter specified in @Pattern.

Note: I realize that for most implementations, simply delimiter splitting is sufficient and for such a situation, I would recommend a similar function that uses the String.Split method rather than regular expressions. However, since the focus of this article is regular expressions in T-SQL, I decided to stick with the regular expression implementation.

SQL Server Implementation

Now that the assembly has been created, we need to implement it into SQL Server. The steps below outline the process.

Determine the Database where the Assembly will Reside

Assemblies are database level objects – not server level objects. You will need to select the database that will contain the assembly:

--Set the database to which these functions will be installed
use AdventureWorks

Enable CLR Integration

CLR integration is disabled by default. To enable it, you must run sp_configure and set the "clr enabled" property to 1. You must then issue the "RECONFIGURE" command for the setting to take effect. Otherwise, the setting will not take effect until SQL Server is restarted.

--Enable CLR Integration
exec sp_configure 'clr enabled', 1

Create the Assembly

Once you've enabled CLR integration, the next step is to "create the assembly" by importing it from the actual compiled DLL file. SQL Server stores the assembly as a stream of bytes inside of the database. Once the assembly has been imported using the "CREATE ASSEMBLY" command, you no longer need the actual DLL file.

Create the Functions

Once the assembly has been created, you can create the actual functions. The syntax to do this is very similar to creating a T-SQL function. The primary difference is instead of writing out the function body, you simply specify "AS EXTERNAL NAME" followed by [AssemblyName].[Namespace.Class].[Method] where [AssemblyName] is the name of the assembly in SQL Server and Namespace, Class and Method all refer to the namespace, class and method inside of the assembly.

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[ufn_RegExIsMatch]
(@Input NVARCHAR(MAX), @Pattern NVARCHAR(MAX), @IgnoreCase BIT)
AS EXTERNAL NAME SqlRegEx.[SqlClrTools.SqlRegEx].RegExIsMatch

Call the Functions

At this point, the functions are loaded and ready to go. To call them, you simply use the same syntax that you would to call any other T-SQL function.

SELECT dbo.ufn_RegExIsMatch('Hello World', 'w', 1) --Ignores Case
SELECT dbo.ufn_RegExIsMatch('Hello World', 'w', 0) --Case Sensitive

Points of Interest

When creating an assembly in SQL Server, you must specify the requested permission set for the assembly.

In most instances, you will select "SAFE" as this article does. This means that you are not directly accessing system resources such as the disk, network, etc. This is the most restrictive and safest set of permissions.

If you require access to the disk or network or other resources you may need to use the "EXTERNAL_ACCESS" permission set.

In the most rare of circumstances, you may need to use "UNSAFE". This permission set grants everything that EXTERNAL_ACCESS grants and also allows access to unmanaged code. Use this setting with great caution.

Unicode and NVARCHAR

All .NET strings are handled in Unicode. As such, all string data into and out of these functions is of the NVARCHAR data type. I chose to use the "MAX" length as we have no idea how large the strings are that are being passed to these functions. Of course, you may wish to limit this in your own implementation.

You may notice that each of the methods included in the SqlRegEx class are decorated with certain attributes. The list below will outline the purpose of each.

The DataAccess attribute signals to SQL Server whether this method will access any user data on the current instance of SQL Server. In the case of these functions, none of them do so directly, so the value for this attribute is false for each.

To quote the SQL Server Books Online "Deterministic functions always return the same result any time they are called with a specific set of input values and given the same state of the database. Non-deterministic functions may return different results each time they are called with a specific set of input values even if the database state that they access remains the same." All of the functions listed in this article are deterministic and as such this property has been marked true.

The IsPrecise attribute indicates if the result is precise or not. For example, a function calculating values using the FLOAT data type would not be precise as the FLOAT data type can lose information during calculations. The functions in this library are precise and as such, this attribute is marked as true for each function.

The Name attribute contains a string indicating what this function should be called when registered in SQL Server. This field is not required and has no practical value in SQL Server, but I have set it for each of these functions for my own personal documentation.

The SystemDataAccess attribute is much the same as the DataAccess attribute with the exception that it refers to system data rather than user data.

FillRowMethodName</code />

The FillRowMethodName is only set for the functions that return tables. You will notice that for each function that returns a table, the actual return type in the .NET code is IEnumerable. That means that whatever you return from this function must implement the IEnumerable interface. The IEnumerable interface allows the .NET Framework to loop through your results and for each result in your result set, it will call the function listed in the FillRowMethodName attribute. If you look at the functions that are listed in the FillRowMethodName attribute, you will see that they each take one object input parameter which represents the current element in the above mentioned loop. The rest of the parameters are output parameters and they will represent the columns of table that is output to SQL Server.

One thing that bothers me about this particular setup is that it does not appear that you can use System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<T> for a return type from your function. Instead you must use System.Collections.IEnumerable. This means that you must accept an object for the first parameter in your fill row method instead of being able to specify the actual type. This of course means boxing and un-boxing operations each time you create a new row. Since generics are available in .NET 2.0, I think it would be appropriate to allow them here.

Deterministic vs. Non-Deterministic

It is worth noting that if you plan to use either of the scalar functions listed in this article in a computed column and you wish to persist that computed column, the function must be marked as "Deterministic". You cannot persist a computed column that contains anything that is not deterministic. If you cannot persist your column, you will not be able to apply any indexes to it and it will be re-computed every time it is called. If your function is truly deterministic, you would want to make sure that it is not recomputed every time since by definition deterministic functions always return the same information, you would waste CPU cycles.

The CLR is a powerful new tool available to SQL Server developers. It opens up nearly the entire .NET Framework to SQL Server and if used appropriately, can bring tremendous power and value to any SQL Server application.
