Researchers Matched Images on Tattoo Websites to a German Police Database
By Dave Maass
For the last year, EFF has been battling to free records from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) regarding an ethically dubious research program to promote the development of automated tattoo recognition technology. The agency is months delinquent in providing a variety of information, most notably the list of 19 research entities who received a giant set of tattoo images obtained from prisoners in custody. This delay is particularly alarming as NIST is currently recruiting institutional participants for the next stage of its expanded research, scheduled to begin on Dec. 1.
What we've discovered so far about NIST's approach to tattoo identification raises major concerns for privacy, free speech, the freedom to associate, and the rights of research subjects. We've also learned that similar tattoo recognition experiments are being conducted in Germany, a country that is usually sensitive to personal privacy.
One of our chief concerns is how automated tattoo recognition technology—algorithms that can match tattoos—can be used to identify and track people in a similar way to how facial recognition systems are being deployed by law enforcement entities. We foresee a future where this technology is used to scan tattoo images on the Internet as a form of surveillance.
A presentation recently released in response to our Freedom of Information Act request confirms that this is not only possible but that researchers in Germany have already used tattoo recognition technology to compare online tattoo images to law enforcement records.
Although we still don't have the full list of 19 organizations who participated in the FBI-sponsored Tattoo Recognition Technology Challenge (Tatt-C), we do know that the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation, a German research body, was one of them.
As part of Tatt-C, NIST and the FBI provided research entities with more than 15,000 images "operationally collected" by law enforcement and asked researchers to run a series of trials using their proprietary tattoo-analysis algorithms. Fraunhofer reported that it was able to match two images of the same tattoo taken over a period of time with 96.8% accuracy.
But that wasn't the only the tattoo research Fraunhofer has conducted.
According to presentation delivered at a NIST event these researchers scraped images from at least two commercial tattoo websites and then used automated algorithms to match those tattoos to a much larger set of images obtained from the German police.
The presentation shows that researchers grabbed 8,400 images from Tattoodesign.com, an online resource for people looking for tattoo ideas, and another 848 images from Wildcat.de, an online store for the body art community. Those images were then combined with 330,000 images from the Federal Criminal Police Office of Germany.
One particular slide showed researchers had not fully thought through the propriety of scraping private databases:
The researchers acknowledge that there may have been privacy issues with scraping commercial databases. They claim that the German police images "were not considered personal data, however…" But the "however" was never followed up with an answer in the slide deck. A video of the various Tatt-C presentations that may have shown the follow-up has been removed from the NIST website.
Fraunhofer's position on police images reflects a troubling and contradictory assumption that was also adopted by NIST. On one hand, researchers claim that tattoos are not considered personally identifiable information. On the other, they argue that tattoos are a useful biometric for identifying people. As a hypothetical example in the presentation, Fraunhofer used a tattoo on a woman's foot as a way to identify a missing person.
This development illustrates why it's in the public interest for NIST to release the list of 19 entities who participate in Tatt-C: the companies and research institutions involved may be engaged in activities that deserve greater scrutiny.
EFF's research into NIST's program revealed how the research had not gone through the proper ethical review until after the research had been completed. Our report also found that personally identifiable information had been inappropriately released and published, a fact admitted by NIST in response to our report. NIST subsequently redacted many of the tattoo images from the presentations it published on its website.
EFF raised First Amendment concerns, since the experiments, often using religious imagery, were designed to show how technology could use tattoos to establish associations between subjects. NIST also scrubbed claims in its documentation that tattoo recognition would be useful in identifying people's religious and ritualistic beliefs.
As a public entity, NIST has a responsibility to be transparent and follow ethical guidelines. We call upon the U.S. Department of Commerce, which has jurisdiction over NIST, to release documents in response to our FOIA request immediately. German citizens may want to explore what precautions Fraunhofer and the German federal police are taking with their own tattoo experiments.

I've already completed technical school & have been working for quite a while. Right now I'm also taking classes at a community college, but I really want to get an actual college degree.
Update: I now have 2 associates degrees (science & liberal arts) and should have my bachelors in marine biology in a year!! Progress!


I had some of my Anasazi bean dish leftover from a few days ago and needed to put a quick meal together. We picked up some tasty yellow carrots at the local farmers' market today. I waterlessly cooked in a Saladmaster stock pan, in this order: garlic scapes (cut into 1/4" lengths), yellow carrot (cut into 3/8" lengths), the beans, and frozen greens (mustard, kale, and collard). I cooked waterlessly - i.e., I covered the pan and heated it on medium high until the vapor release started jiggling, then I reduced the heat to low till the jiggle stopped. I let it cook for about 15 minutes. I mixed in a little lime juice and salt.
I served this with bok choy leaves, radishes (also bought today at the farmers' market), and brown rice noodles. It was good - the main dish was nicely reinvented!
I love ramps and was delighted to find them in the store yesterday! They are difficult to find where I live and I only find them at most a few times a year. I wanted to make a simple dish to let the ramp flavor dominate.
I sauteed all the ingredients together in a cast iron pan with no added oil, except maybe 1/4 t of oil that I put on and wiped off to give a very thin coating. I also served a baked potato (cooked in my Instant Pot) and charred and salted shishito pepper over a tomato slice.
Dinner was good. How could you go wrong with ramps?!
I wish that we could more commonly find ramps! It would be fun cooking them with other vegetables and maybe even using them in soups.
I made a simple pasta with bean dish, along with some tasty potato salad that I had purchased from Deep Roots Market Cooperative Grocery when I visited a few days ago in Greensboro, NC. I used Tinkyada brand "grand shell" brown rice pasta.
I made a simple bean dish accented with olives. Here is what I did.
I put the beans, water, bouillon cube, and garlic in my Instant Pot pressure cooker and cooked for 25m.
After the cooking was done, I waited a few minutes and gently released pressure, then opened the pot.
I mixed in the onion, peas, olive, nutritional yeast, oregano, basil, turmeric, salt, pepper, and lime juice, and served.
I served with some Jade Pearl rice cooked with a vegan bouillon cube and hand-torn kale leaves.
Dinner was good! My daughter encouraged me to add so much nutritional yeast, and I think that flavor nicely complimented the dish.
I could have put more onion in but, at the urging of my onion-averse daughter, used just a quarter cup. The dish could have had more olives. Squash pieces would have gone well with the bean dish, as well.
I love Edamame and mung bean sprout fettuccine and wondered what it would be like with lentils. Even better, how about if I cooked the pasta not separately, but together with the lentils? They might get overcooked, but it's worth trying! Here is what I did.
I put the lentils, water, cumin, turmeric, and carrot into my Instant Pot pressure cooker and cooked for 20m (green or brown lentils cook with a 1 to 1.5-2 part ratio lentil to water for 15-20m; I wanted this to be thick so went for minimum water and maximum cook time).
After the cooking was done, I waited a few minutes and gently released pressure. The pasta takes about 8m of cook time, but I wondered if it would cook in the residual heat of the Instant Pot, especially as smaller pieces (it did!), so just mixed in the pasta, as well as the remaining ingredients (shallot, garlic powder, and salt).
I let the pot sit, covered, for about 5-8 minutes, then served.
I loved the dish! The pasta cooked just fine and went well with the lentils. The moisture and texture was all great!
My daughter doesn't like this particular pasta, unfortunately, but I should explore more dishes of lentils and pasta. Dried lemon and/or citrus zest would go well with lentil dishes in general, and I should try it.
It's been, I think, almost 10 years since I've made risotto. We quite like risotto, and I make a "conference call risotto". I had the idea of making an artichoke and potato risotto and thought I'd see what the Instant Pot pressure cooker could do in terms of risotto. I readily found one of Laura Pazzaglia's many Hip Pressure Cooking recipes, Easy Pressure Cooker Risotto. Here is my version of it - the first time I've tried a no-oil risotto.
I put the onion and garlic into my Instant Pot pressure cooker and cooked on low saute for a minute or so, then added the mushrooms.
I cooked for about 3 minutes or so, stirring occasionally, until the onion was clear and the mushroom cooked down a bit.
I then added the rice and gently toasted it. Since I didn't use oil, the grains didn't absorb the oil and didn't really become translucent, but, stirring occasionally, I started seeing a bit of golden color in the grains after about 3 or 4 minutes.
I then added the port, stirred, and let the wine clean up any residue on the bottom of the Instant Pot container.
I added a cup of water then put the artichoke and bell pepper in the cup measure and filled the measure with water to total another cup, adding this water, artichoke, and bell pepper to the Instant Pot.
I added the bouillon cube, asparagus, potato, salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast.
I pressure cooked for 5 minutes.
After the cooking was done, I waited a few minutes and gently released pressure, then mixed the risotto.
I served along with some sautéed (in a cast iron pan with no added oil) seitan and bell pepper.
Wow, Laura Pazzaglia's recipe pointed me in the right direction! It is easy to make tasty and creamy risotto in the pressure cooker. My whole family loved the dish; it was filling, satisfying, and tasty. Even my daughter, who doesn't like asparagus, enjoyed the bit of asparagus in this dish (it must have been the taste in combination). The moisture was just about right - any less and there would be too much sticking to the pot (next time, I might err on the side of a just a bit more water).
I should consider trying risotto like this again soon after making my tried-and-true "conference call" version to better compare. Next time, including one more strongly flavored ingredient and a bit more water would be interesting. Grilled artichokes would be an improvement, and non-frozen (grilled or not) artichokes that I could cut into pieces would be good. Olives would be nice, as would more mushrooms (maybe oyster mushrooms or large chunks of Portobello mushrooms). Sweet potato (instead of potato) and/or some greens would be great. Roasting the bell pepper would be good. A little more wine (not port) would add a nice flavor. Fresh herbs or citrus zest would be good garnishes.
I have, unfortunately, never had a whole-grain risotto, but just looked and, indeed, there are recipes for it. I found an interesting article from the Washington Post from this past February that sounds promising. It's great that I can make a no-oil risotto; I should try a no-oil whole-grain one!

Looking Back at the 2007 D-League Draft
By DakotaWiz Oct 15, 2008, 5:20pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Looking Back at the 2007 D-League Draft
Now that we know the draft order, and Matt's thoughts on how ridiculous the process is, lets look at how important the draft even is. In most sports, a good draft can turn a team around, but in the D-League, if you draft a couple NBA call-ups with your first couple picks and don't find any sleepers later, come mid-January, your team could look terrible, losing it's first couple picks either to the NBA or them heading overseas post D-League Showcase. Granted, most teams will have a few starters returning for them (last year, every team had at least 6 guys in camp from their camp, returning players, and played "allocated" to them).
With 6 guys in camp already that the teams have basically hand-picked and seen in action personally, the Draft is good for adding the league mandated rookie and two or three other guys outside of the first round pick to contribute. You're basically looking at 4, maybe 5 guys from the ten round roster. Having a draft on a Friday night that has 16 teams each picking ten players seem to be a bit much. I know most coaches have no way of getting familiar with every player in the draft. Last year, Bakersfield coach Jim Harrick missed his first round pick, and when he answered later in the 2nd, sounded like he may have fell asleep. Though they get preliminary lists of who has signed a contract for the season early, the majority of the players that will contribute are the guys that have either just been cut by the NBA or have waited until the last minute to make the decision to stick around or head to Europe for the season. Looking at last year, I found that the draft didn't help many teams outside the first round, but found the biggest steals and re-did the first round last year. Continue on for results...
When looking at last years draft, I found that only 76 of the 140 players that were drafted actually made it into a regular season game. Starting in the third round, at least four players from each round didn't even make it into the regular season, and in the 8th and 9th round, only 12 of the 28 played in the D-League last season. Of the 76 players that did make it to the league, 18 didn't even play with the team that drafted them the entire year, either getting traded or released, including 3 first round picks (Kevin Pittsnogle, Glen McGowan, and Darvin Ham).
The average player drafted played in 31 games last season, starting half of them, and played just 23 minutes per game. This player would score 9 points per game, grabbing 4 boards and 2 assists, shooting 47% from the field and 74% from the line. While not bad, certainly you can see the Draft as a whole won't help your team too entirely much. If you look at the first round picks, even this isn't great. The average 1st round player scored 15 points per game, adding 5.5 boards and 3 assists in 32 minutes of playing time. The 2nd through 4th round players averaged 10 points, 4 boards, and about 1.5 assists per game, playing about 23 minutes a game. Round 5 and 6, players averaged right around 6 points, 3.5 boards, and an assist in 16 minutes per game. In the 7th round, production shot up, averaging 10 points, 3.5 boards and 1.5 assists, playing 22 minutes per game. The last 3 rounds of the draft, players averaged 5.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, and an assist, playing about 18 minutes a game.
Knowing that other than the first round picks, you're pretty much able to get equal value in the next six rounds, the draft is pretty much a crap shoot. This is more than likely due to the coaches not being able to scout much due to the time it takes for them to get the final draft eligible list. If coaches were to re-draft last years draft, I believe it would look more like this. Although most of these players were called-up, in the first round you've got to take the best talent and hope that the players plays well until the inevitable call-up happens.
2007 D-League Draft -- First Round
Colorado -- Picking first overall in the draft, the 14ers are built around allocated player Kaniel Dickens and returning big man Elton Brown, so they're basically looking for a point guard to slash and free Dickens up on the perimeter when not dumping the ball down inside to Brown. The best guard in the D-League that has shown he can both get in the lane as well as rack up the assists, C.J. Watson. Playing just 16 games before getting called up last season, Watson averaged 27 points, 6 assists, and 5.5 boards, along with two steals and shooting better than 50% from the field. Though their original pick, Eddie Gill, played well in the D-League last year, Watson had much more upside and would have been extremely dangerous on the dangerous 14ers.
Dakota Wizards -- Picking second overall, the Wizards were returning a great core from their championship team the year before. Maurice Baker, Dontell Jefferson, Rod Benson, and Kevin Lyde were all returning, meaning the first round pick would be a player that could come in and mesh with a team already teeming with talent. Though Dwayne Mitchell would have been an option that may have been able to mesh better with the Wizards, their original pick of Carlos Powell was the right one, taking the best player available, especially since Powell played the position needed. Powell played in 48 of the Wizards games, scoring 22.5 points per game, along with 6.5 boards and 4.5 assists. Probably the best pick in the first round, as he played well and played almost all of the games, without heading overseas or getting called-up.
Albuquerque Thunderbirds - The Thunderbirds returned just one player from the previous season, Steven Barber, and weren't helped out much by the D-League's allocated players, so they were more or less starting from scratch. They picked Darvin Ham Slamwich, which wasn't the wisest idea as he was more a coach on the floor, rather than a playmaker to build around. Had they had a good team returning, he would have been valuable, but I don't think he was the right pick to start a team with. This would have been a good spot for Eddie Gill to go, seeing as he is a good player to build around, has enough experience to be a leader that other players are going to look up to, and plays the most important position on the court at the point.
Idaho Stampede - The Stampede had a great team coming back, returning the reigning league MVP Randy Livingston, skilled big man Lance Allred, former NBA draft pick 7-foot swingman Ricky Sanchez, and also being allocated two overseas studs in Roberto Bergersen and Cory Violette. Basically, they already have their starting 5 right there if they want, so they're just looking for a good complimentary player that can contribute. They picked Jamaal Tatum, a rookie point guard and former Saluki, but he was injured in the preseason and never regained his health to come back and play. Assuming they stay with a point guard, there are two options that really might warrant the fourth overall pick in the draft left. Blake Ahearn or Kevin Kruger, rookie white point guards who showed they can play. At the time, Kruger probably would have been a better pick, as he was more well-known and played well for the Flash last year, facilitating the offense and scoring 13 points and dishing 7 assists a game. Blake Ahearn however is my pick here, though. A sharp-shooting rookie who can play both guard positions, he would have brought a lot to Coach Brian Gates' offense, and would have been an instant spark off the bench which might have needed it being the oldest team in the D-League. Nonetheless, they won the championship without a first round pick, so it didn't really matter.
Rio Grande Valley Vipers - The Vipers, an expansion team, were allocated Gabe Muoneke, but little else. With their original pick C.J. Watson off the board, the Vipers probably would have went with another point guard, and the best point guard left would be Kruger. Kruger, although not a flashy player, is a solid player, was coming off of a great season at UNLV, and would have been a good player to build around. Being a rookie, he also filled a huge need, as each team needed two rookies, and if a quality rookie was available, that's the best bet. The other option might have been going big, where NBA veteran Jelani McCoy would have been a good pick.
Sioux Falls Skyforce - The Skyforce started out with a ready-made backcourt, with returning player Elton Nesbitt and allocated player, along with being a former Skyforce player, David Bailey. With their backcourt already set up, the team would be wise to grab a big-man. Their original pick was Nik Caner-Medley, a 6-8 forward out of Maryland that could gun from outside. Looking at his D-League season, he played six games, averaging 22 points and 11.5 boards in 42 minutes a game. Though the Skyforce didn't really need another outside shooter already having Bailey and Nesbitt, Caner-Medley was a great pick, though going overseas after just six games definitely hurts his stock. I would take Marcus Campbell in this spot, as he would have really helped Coach Nate Tibbetts team have great inside-outside dynamic. A 7-foot lefty and D-League veteran, he put up the best numbers as a big man in last years D-League draft, averaging 13 points, 9 rebounds and over a block per game in just 25 minutes of action. In the actual draft, the Stampede actually picked Campbell late in round 4.
Fort Wayne Mad Ants - The Mad Ants were in a great position coming into the draft, having been allocated a starting backcourt with Earl Calloway and Jeremy Richardson, plus having Pistons 2nd round draft pick Sammy Mejia, Roderick Wilmont and Justin Cage to round out 5 players that are legitimate D-League starters. Unfortunately, the Mad Ants weren't blessed with a big guy that could play in the post (This showed later in the season when they actually let Nate Gerwig play some games). Their original pick was Larry Turner, and I liked what he brought to the table. A 6'11" rookie out of Tennessee State, he had just been the last cut of the Los Angeles Lakers. Being a rookie and a legit big man, this was a good pick. Though he usually battled foul trouble and thus never really got enough playing time, his per-36 minute averages were 12 points, 10 boards, and 2 blocks. With those averages, coupled with getting a legit big man in the first round that doubles as a rookie, I think Fort Wayne made the right pick. Knowing they would have the Pistons Cheikh Samb for most of the season, though, I think I would have picked Caner-Medley, a 6-8 forward that would bring a lot more firepower to an already explosive team.
Los Angeles D-Fenders - The D-Fenders returned a lot of good players from the season before, with Brian Chase at the point, Devin Green at the 2, Sean Banks at the 3, and Andre Patterson at the 4, so really all they were looking for would be a skilled big man. Though they originally picked Jelani McCoy, with the D-Fenders being owned by the Lakers, Larry Turner would have been the pick made here, as the Lakers could have watched their final cut develop until he was ready to be called up to the Lakers.
Anaheim Arsenal - The Arsenal had a decent starting team with Guillermo Diaz and Noel Felix, cuts from the parent club LA Clippers. With that, they were pretty much open to draft anyone but a point guard. Their original pick was Kedrick Brown, former Celtics lottery pick, and he played well for the Arsenal, averaging 15 points and 6 boards for the Arsenal. However, I think this would have been a good spot for the Arsenal to grab Jelani McCoy, a big man that could get it done down low, a good compliment to the undersized post Felix.
Utah Flash - The Flash, an expansion team, didn't get much through the expansion draft or allocation players. They were left with the humongous James Lang, and two local tryout players, John Millsap (Brother of Utah Jazz's Paul Millsap) and Brian Hamilton, who nobody knew at the time, but ended up playing well and is now in NBA camp. Regardless, they could pretty much pick anyone, and with original pick local prospect Kevin Kruger off the board already, I think they should go with Dwayne Mitchell. Mitchell, although he has a streaky jump-shot, is a fun to watch athletic freak who would have brought some excitement to this team. He averaged 20 points, 6 boards, and 3 assists with the Iowa Energy before heading overseas last year, and with him and Brian Hamilton on the team, there would have been a lot of steals going around creating a fun, fast-breaking back court, especially when Mo Almond was on lease from the Jazz. Unfortunately, neither Flash big men James Lang or Kyrylo Fesenko would get in on the fast break action.
Tulsa 66ers - The 66ers didn't return much other than Mike Hall, a stud that played both the 3 and 4 for them. The 66ers could use a lot, but I think it would have made sense to pair Mike Hall with Kedrick Brown. Brown, the 6-7 guard and former Celtics lottery pick , would have given this team a lot of talent to build around. Though nobody would guess, Brown scored the third most points in the D-League last year, behind Wizards Carlos Powell and Blake Ahearn.
Austin Toros - The Toros, freshly acquired by the San Antonio Spurs, had a lot of talent allocated to them, acquiring Keith Langford and the Spurs 2nd round pick, Marcus Williams out of Arizona. With a 2 and 3 already there, they need either a big man a point guard to distribute the ball. Knowing Ian Mahinmi would be with the team most of the tiem, Darvin Ham would be a good pick here. He was actually traded to the Toros toward the end of the season and started all 4 of the games he was with them. With a young team and loads of prospects that the Spurs rotated through, Ham would have been a good mentor for the players that came through, especially DerMarr Johnson and Marcus Williams, who could use a good mentor that's already been in the NBA and knows what they're looking for.
Bakersfield Jam - Coach Jim Harrick fell asleep during the time allotted to make this pick, so in all reality, Perrin Johnson or Forrest "Whyte Cloud" Fisher would have been good picks here, just because they at least would have been less humiliating then completely skipping the first round. They returned Rod Riley, Brandon Bowman, and Yuta Tabuse, so, had they been awake for this pick, they probably would have been looking for a 2 or a 4. Kevin Pittsnogle would have made sense here, as he is a known player that could have gotten some butts in the seats and shot the 3, a lot, sometimes even making it. Unfortunately, he wasn't really into playing defense or stepping inside. Instead, I think that Carl Elliott, the rookie out of George Washington, would have made sense here. While playing behind Bailey and Nesbitt in Sioux Falls, he still was able to manage averaging 14 points and a couple steals per contest.
Iowa Energy - After being allocated Jeff Horner and Doug Thomas to give the expansion team a local feel, the team basically just has to look for a playmaker. With their original pick, Dwayne Mitchell, already off the board, Josh Gross would probably make the best substitution of players left. Gross, who played for three teams last season, Iowa among them, averaged 15 points and 5 boards in 30 minutes a contest.
Most Value By Round
First Round - Carlos Powell (DAK) - Though not the best player in the first round, obviously had the most value to the Wizards, as they weren't expecting the 2nd overall pick to play in 48 of their games.
Second Round - Carl Elliott (SFL) - Elliott, playing behind Bailey and Nesbitt in Sioux Falls, he still was able to manage averaging 14 points and a couple steals per contest.
Third Round - Corey Minnifield (FTW) - Minnifield averaged 16 points and 6 assists for the Mad Ants, starting 28 of the 43 games.
Fourth Round - Blake Ahearn (DAK) - Ahearn, an unheralded rookie out of Missouri State, started the season coming off of the bench for Dakota, and ended up coming off of the bench for the Miami Heat.
Fifth Round - Keith Closs (TUL) - Closs, when not smoking cigarettes minutes before the game starts (Saw this in action), actually played well for the 66ers, coming off the bench to provide a dominant defensive presence. Though old and short on stamina, he averaged 3 blocks in 19 minutes of action.
Sixth Round - Jesse Smith (RGV) - Smith averaged 9 points and 7 rebounds, starting 33 of the Vipers 50 games.
Seventh Round - Ron Howard (FTW) - The seventh round was a very productive round, producing 4 or 5 players with a lot of value so late, but Ron Howard, who started 37 games with the Mad Ants, played very well for being named after a kid on Happy Days. He averaged 11 points in 28 minutes, shooting 52% from the field.
Eighth Round - Michael Joiner (SFL) - Joiner, out of Florida State, was the utility man for Skyforce, playing everything from the 2 to the 5 as a 6-7" forward. He averaged 10 points and 4 rebounds, starting 30 games for Sioux Falls.
Ninth Round - Ramon Dyer (ABQ) - Dyer played in all 50 games for the Thunderbirds, averaging 6 points and 5 boards.
Tenth Round - Tony Gipson (DAK) - Gipson didn't make the team coming out of training camp, but once Dontell Jefferson and Mo Baker went overseas, along with Blake Ahearn being called up, Coach Duane Ticknor found Gipson ready to play. He joined the Wizards for the last 21 games of the season, starting 15 of them, averaging 13 points in 32 minutes.

Q: Can you combine case and top statements to label which values are in the top few (Microsoft SQL) I have a list of fees to summarise, where each fee is used repeatedly over time. My project is to sum the value of each fee over a year, and to label which of these are in the top 80 by value, and which aren't. I need two columns, one with the fee code, and the other with a 'yes/no' value for if the fee is in the top 80 or not.
I've tried the following code, which doesn't work, and I get the error

Only one expression can be specified in the select list when the subquery is not introduced with EXISTS

I'm a self-taught programmer, so probably missing something obvious!
Many thanks for your advice on this.
Stuart
select
    hCODE as 'Fee Code',
    case
       when hCODE in (select top 80 hCODE, sum(hPRICE)
                      from dbo.History
                      where hDONE >= dateadd(year,-1,getdate())
                      group by hCODE
                      order by sum(hPRICE) desc)
          then 'Top 80'
          else 'Other'
    end as 'In Top 80'
from
    dbo.History;

A: The problem in this code in the when condition:
when hCODE in (select top 80 hCODE, sum(hPRICE)
               .....

Your select returns two columns for each row of the result set - but you're checking to see whether one value (hCODE) is in this set. You cannot return two values from the subquery here - just the one that your hCODE is being compared against.

A: A row-numbering + windowing solution will be far more efficient than your existing subquery:
select
    hCODE as [Fee Code],
    case
       when ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY TotalPerCode DESC) <= 80
          then 'Top 80'
          else 'Other'
    end as [In Top 80]
from
    (SELECT *, SUM(hPRICE) OVER (PARTITION BY hCODE) AS TotalPerCode
    FROM dbo.History
    where hDONE >= dateadd(year,-1,getdate())
) h;

You can also do this with a GROUP BY as you only want the hCODE value:
select
    hCODE as [Fee Code],
    case
       when ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY TotalPerCode DESC) <= 80
          then 'Top 80'
          else 'Other'
    end as [In Top 80]
from
    (SELECT hCODE, SUM(hPRICE) AS TotalPerCode
    FROM dbo.History
    where hDONE >= dateadd(year,-1,getdate())
    GROUP BY hCODE
) h;

You should use [] to quote column names with spaces, not ''

What does a successful Prep School look like?
Sitting enjoying a Sunday lunch with friends last weekend, we mulled over the Sunday papers together. A group of nearly 40 somethings: friends from school days and mostly alumnae from a girls' academic school. You can imagine the tone of the conversation – feisty debate and comments flinging back and forth! It was only a matter of time before the Times Top 100 Prep School list was presented to me with much questioning as to why St Catherine's, along with so many other top Prep Schools didn't feature…. at all. With one friend in marketing and two with three year old daughters, it was hardly surprising that the conversation became quite intense.
I appreciate the feel good factor of seeing the name of your child's school listed and hence I felt that it might be useful for you to hear why St Catherine's and the excellent schools which educate your sons are not present. The list, and others like them, is compiled using national Key Stage tests at 11 – SATS. Such tests enable a school to measure themselves against national norms which can, of course, be useful. However, the tests themselves are limiting. In order to achieve an excellent rank order, SATs have to remain the focus of the staff and pupils until the end of the summer term in Year 6. I believe passionately in a broad education at this age and stage and would not be prepared to forfeit that to follow the SATS programme.
Girls here broadly follow the National Curriculum; they are also introduced to Common Entrance and Scholarship papers in LIII which are very different in focus and stretch. We aim to have completed the Year 6 (LIII) curriculum by January and then use the last six months of the girls' time in the Prep School to enrich their learning and ensure that they leave us very well-prepared for their senior school. This means an introduction to Year 7 materials, the chance to oversee and assist younger pupils, taking part in LIII production, sports day and opportunities to reflect and mark the end of the first stage of their education in a fitting way. There would be a very different focus were SATS tests taking place during the summer term.
Since half term we have seen girls commemorate the anniversary of the First World War with: author visits, drama lessons and music as well as English being used to help the girls understand the relevance of the occasion and to enable them to express themselves. The school has produced an anthology of poems, prayers and creative pieces to mark the occasion. We have hosted the IAPS national gymnastics competition; we sat and watched fifty eight routines including every child aged 7-11 at the House Gym and St Catherine's Day meant a day off timetable to pause and reflect on the ethos and values we share as a school. Budding scientists represented the school at a national science quiz; chess players took on opponents and built their ability to strategise; LIII charity monitors helped load on Christmas boxes destined for children in need via Operation Christmas Child; the iPioneers presented a memo app to the Senior Management Team; School Council members debated traffic and road safety issues. The Pre-Prep have learnt ….songs, lines and movement around a stage which is of professional standard ahead of their Nativity. This has all happened amidst challenging lessons, timed assignments for girls in LIII and preparations for the Christmas service. This is what a great Prep School should be striving to achieve. It enables each pupil to be challenged and to have their efforts recognised. It is truly difficult to 'measure' and yet its worth is so tangible and significant.


Looking closely at our reflection as firefighters, and as human beings, is important—and never easy. Sometimes we need a little help. The help came to the world's fire service in the form of the incredibly talented firefighting artist Paul Combs. Paul is one of those people who say what we are thinking—only no one wants to say it. In Paul's case, he does it through his amazing artwork. His art sticks in our heads, with a message that helps us remember that while we may not always take ourselves seriously, we must remember how serious this job is. From the most solemn of subjects … to the lighter side of what we do, you will absolutely love this book!
It's been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Well if that's true, then Paul Combs has hit the jackpot! You see, Paul has this ability to send a message through his artwork that touches every single firefighter … and not just in a humorous way, but in a way that has the ability to save your life!! Never before has someone been able to "save one of our own" in such a way and on so many different fronts and hitting on so many different topics. This is the kind of tool that all firefighters should have in their arsenal.
Readers will find that this book is more than a collection of 156 fire service editorial cartoons.
Paul Combs is a gifted artist who uses his talent as a tool to express his passion for making a difference in the fire service, the greatest job in the world.

MLB Construction Services LLC
Building Trust for Six Decades
Produced by: Heidi Therrien
MLB Construction Services LLC (MLB) is a general contraction/construction management/design-build contractor servicing several regions along the East Coast. The post-World War II construction boom initially fed the company, which started in 1947 as McManus, Longe & Brockwehl Inc. The team quickly carved out a leading position in the industry and established client relationships that have endured over 50 years.
Jim Dawsey, who has been with MLB for over three decades, now heads the company as president. "I worked my way up," he says. "I started off doing field layout for projects with the estimating department." Dawsey's years in the business have allowed him to form lasting relationships with his employees and clients while assisting the company in managing the intricacies of private-sector construction and delivering projects of all sizes and complexities on time and within budget.
Most of MLB's projects are in higher education, retail and medical building work. "We try and stay out of the public market as much as possible," explains Dawsey. The company's team of 200 – which employs storm water management professionals, mechanical/electrical coordinators, as well as LEED- and ASHE-certified professionals – prides itself on providing clients with services best suited for their specific project needs. MLB delivers its project solutions out of three locations. Corporate headquarters is in Malta, N.Y., just outside of Albany. Offices in Apex, N.C., and in Tampa, Fla., bring staff closer to the markets most frequently served.
Repeat Business
MLB performs over 75 percent of projects for repeat customers. The scope varies by project and by region. "In the Northeast we do a lot of college and higher education work," says Dawsey. "Our niche really varies by location." The company regularly performs projects for higher education institutions in the Triangle Region of North Carolina and the Capital Region of upstate New York. Recent initiatives out of the Malta office include a new plant for Global Foundries and a microchip plant for Nano Science that totaled $4.5 billion. "We poured 62 yards of concrete on the Nano project," Dawsey elaborates.
Over the years, the company has constructed a wide variety of buildings and facilities, ranging from college dorms to sports arenas. But MLB sees these projects as more than jobs completed; the company sees them as valued ongoing relationships. Dawsey and his teams, which bring 75 years of experience on average to each project, stay in touch with clients, constantly bearing in mind what projects could be further along the line for the various organizations the company has worked for in the past.
And, after 65 years in business, MLB's capabilities and what the company can deliver have grown immensely. College projects make up a large portion of business, but Dawsey says the team has done its fair share of retail work, and the company's financially responsible, actively involved leadership marshals the company's resources to provide this sector the same comprehensive services it delivers to education, industrial, municipal, healthcare and nonprofit clients.
"We're worked with Walmart," he says. "They're not the easiest to work for, but they're fair." Retail projects, especially those for large chains, can be complex. Designers produce master plans for all newer stores, and the plans have to be made to fit. Dawsey's team is up to the challenge, though, and has consistently exceeded the expectations of several clients in the retail sector.
MLB is a large company and has been fortunate to be able to absorb many of the setbacks smaller contractors have faced during the recent economic downturn. "We've made some changes," explains Dawsey. "The recession really forced us to take a closer look at our overhead and make cuts where we were overspending. We've kept on as many employees as possible, and overall we're doing pretty well."
While expansion has been stalled for many companies not faring the recession well, MLB has been expanded geographically to pull in more contracts. "We've spread out more," explains Dawsey. "We're doing some work in Texas. We've stretched our radius to about two hours from the offices where we generally perform jobs."
In the states MLB services, many local initiatives are helping to bring back business as well. "In Florida, there's a big push to attract more tourism to the area," explains Dawsey. "That works for us, because we're trying to reach out into the hospitality industry." MLB is diversifying the scope of work, not just expanding the company's geographic footprint, but also seeking out underserviced industries and reinforcing the company's U.S. Green Building Council-approved, LEED Accredited Professional-led sustainable/energy-efficient construction capabilities. "I can see things getting better in 2013," says Dawsey. "We want to keep expanding, and we're getting especially excited about the economic state of New York."
A company that has been around as long as MLB has to be tough, and Dawsey and his team are continuing the practice of pushing through the tough times. "We've been around for over six decades," he says. "We've lasted through seven recessions and five wars, and we still have many of the same clients."
MLB celebrated its 65-year anniversary in summer 2012. "We had a big party at the New York office," says Dawsey. "We invited our employees from all three locations, many of our clients and subcontractors, and even our founder."
Dawsey is proud of the progress MLB's team has made. Few construction companies around today maintain the connections and longevity that MLB has, and the company intends to further its legacy through proactive initiatives. "We're looking forward to sustainable growth," says Dawsey.
Delivering relentless accountability, proven technical expertise and a collaborative approach to assure quality, MLB Construction Services LLC is an East Coast cornerstone, and Dawsey and his team are reinforcing the company's tradition of integrity and adapting with the market.

### 3.5.1
***
Describe how to make the following modifications to the ```Lex``` program of Fig. 3.23:

a) Add the keyword ```while```.

b) Change the comparison operators to be the C operators of that kind.

c) Allow the underscore (_) as an additional letter.

d) Add a new pattern with the token ```STRING```. The pattern consists of a double-quote ("), any string of characters and a final double-quote. However, if a double-quote appears in the string, it must be escaped by preceding it with a backslash (\\), and therefore a backslash in the string must be represented by two backslashes. The lexical value, which is the string without the surrounding double-quotes, and with backslashes used to escape a character removed. Strings are to be installed in a table of strings.

### 3.5.4
***
Write a ```Lex``` program that converts a file to "Pig Latin." Specifically, assume the file is a sequence of words (groups of letters) separated by whitespace. Everytime you encounter a word:

1. If the first letter is a consonant, move it to the end of the word and then add ```ay```.

2. If the first letter is a vowel, just add ay to the end of the word.

### `Answer`

### 3.5.5
***
In SQL, keywords and identifiers are case-insensitive. Write a ```Lex``` program that recognizes the keywords ```SELECT```, ```FROM```, and ```WHERE``` (in any combination of capital and lower-case letters), and token ```ID```, which for the purpose of this exercise you may take to be any sequence of letters and digits, beginning with a letter. You need not install identifiers in a symbol table, but tell how the "install" function would differ from that described for case-sensitive identifiers as in Fig. 3.23.

Looking for a fragrance but have trouble finding anything non-binary?
Here I've collected a few of the unisex fragrances for any genderqueer person.
Some of the fragrances have muskier tones whereas others have a lighter or even floral scent. That's why I've included a list of scents to describe the products and help you narrow down your try-out list.
Perfumes are not exclusively for women and colognes are not exclusively for men.

Q: NSPanel set at the Desktopwindowlevel +1 issue with visible at login This is a rather annoying issue, The program itself works great except when I go and set it to start at login.
I've been testing it by logging off and in. The program starts when I log in but is hidden behind the desktop. When I click the app icon in the dockbar it comes to the front where it should have been to begin with.
The question is.. Has anyone encountered this issue and how should I fix it?  I want the program to be visible on the desktop as soon as the computer logs in. I haven't had issues with this when working with IB but I am using NSRects to draw almost everything.
Any thoughts on this issue could be helpful. Thanks!

A: I found the solution to my question. It has to do with the fact that my app is an LSUIElement app since I am making it for store demo machines. the reason I couldn't see my windows on launch is because of the way LSUIElements work so I had to tell it to do a few things
[[NSApplication sharedApplication]activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];
[window orderFrontRegardless];
[window makeKeyWindow];
[[NSApplication sharedApplication] activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];

after that it seems to have worked.

A: I have something like this in one of my apps that seems to work pretty well:
// open window and force to the front
[preferencesWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
[preferencesWindow orderFrontRegardless];
[preferencesWindow center];

Try that out and see what happens. Obviously you don't need the [preferencesWindow center] if you don't want it centered.

Reviewing Buildings at Risk (2019)
hope.jpg
rathangan.jpg
The Built Environment unit of An Taisce took time over the summer to review the very popular database for structures at risk, which was originally released in November 2014. In this we are tracking some 120 buildings and structures at risk which were considered significant nationally and regionally and required intervention to prevent further deterioration. While there has been progress in securing certain buildings particularly in the Dublin City area, the majority of buildings recorded remain at risk and are becoming increasingly lost. This loss is seen in the example of Donaghy Mills in Drogheda, which saw a significant fire gut the building on St Patrick's Day, 2019. An Taisce have added the following buildings:
Hope Castle, Castleblaney
Saint Peters Church of Ireland, Drumconrath
The Anchor Pub and adjacent House, Graiguenamanagh
Old Barracks, Rathanagan
Leinster Street House, Rathanagan
Several buildings have had work works completed over the past few years, many incorporated into wider developments, and the significance of the risk to the structures has been decreased if not completely removed. The following buildings are no long considered significantly at risk:
Le Touche Hotel, Greystones
Hazelwood House, Sligo
General Post Office, Limerick
Dun Laoghaire Baths, Dun Laoghaire
Dromdihy House, Killeagh
Christ Church, Rathcormack
Casino, Malahide
Boole House, Cork
Boland's Mill, Dublin
An Taisce would like to thank our members and several individuals who identified and provided information on the buildings noted above. It may be the case that you know of a structure at risk before An Taisce is made aware of it. An Taisce requires the input of individuals and local communities to contribute information to keep the Register as up to date as possible. It is up to you to gather information on a structure at risk in your own community. The data collected is crucial in identifying, encouraging and proactively pursuing the restoration and re-use of individual structures at risk. The information also supports more strategic and area based initiatives where levels of risk are concentrated, where problems can be identified and flagged, priorities set and recommendations made for action. If you wish to let us know about a structure at risk, take a photograph and get in contact. If you wish to suggest a building at risk you are familiar with, please take the time to fill out the following form.
The Buildings at Risk Register is an unfunded project by An Taisce – the National Trust for Ireland supported and maintained by its voluntary members. The Buildings at Risk Register was put in place in response to a concern at the growing number of structures that are vacant and falling into a state of disrepair. The Register provides information on structures of architectural, historical, archaeological, artistic, cultural, scientific, social or technical interest throughout the country that are considered to be at risk.
This project is incredibly resource intensive. An Taisce would welcome any donations to ensure its continuity into the future given it is currently unfunded and being resourced to a large part by volunteers throughout the country.

Most of us need a steady supply of greeting cards throughout the year for various occasions, but never as much as now. These Jackson Pollock style splatter cards are easy and fun to make, so let the assembly line begin.
Virus means poison in Latin, and is responsible for much misery this time of year. If you know someone who's bedridden with Influenza or Dengue Fever, why not send them a get well card with your very own rendering of the virus? The lovely muted colours of your watercolour painting, along with your somewhat twisted sense of humour, will surely bring a smile to your sickly friend's face while they continue on with their violent shivering fits and severe muscle aches. Naturally, you'll want to mail your card to avoid any of these nasty contagions. All kidding aside, this was a really fun subject to paint because when magnified a few thousand times, viruses can be quite beautiful.
With so many gorgeous greeting cards to choose from today, it may take something really special like Japanese paper to motivate you to make your own. Everything about these papers is inspiring, like their texture, patterns, colours and visible fibres. And if children can use a glue stick, they're old enough to make these wonderful collages.


A former member of the Army, who had been forced into begging on the streets of Matara town, has been relieved of his military certificates by a group of soldiers led by a brigadier, reports say.
In a report by Daya Nettasinghe, 'Sathhanda' newspaper highlighted the plight of ex-Lance Corporal Muthumuni Sirimal Chandana.
He had joined the Army on 19 May 1995 amidst objections by his parents, relatives and friends.
While under training, Chandana has bruised his stomach, and despite that had to serve in operational areas during the war, including Vettilaikerni, Kilinochichi and Vishwamadu.
He got married in 2002 and is a father of three.
While on duty, he became ill in 2014, with a symptom of passing blood with urine.
He was diagnosed of having a neurological ailment in the bladder as well as kidney trouble, and had to be operated on.
Following the surgery, he has become an invalid, cannot wear trousers, and has to carry a bag affixed to his bladder to urinate wherever he goes.
He is yet to receive any payment for the commitment he had made from 1995 to 2014.
Having no other mode of income, he had to beg on the streets of Matara in order to look after his family.
He is only given a Rs. 450 monthly allowance by the Social Services Department.
