Q: DATEADD equivalent in PostgreSQL Is there an equivalent to this T-SQL command in PostgreSQL?
select dateadd(hh,duration_in_hours,start_date) as end_date

I have found only interval keyword with subsequent string, but this terrible construction returns syntax error:
select start_date + interval cast(duration_in_hours as varchar) || ' hours'

It allows only string constant after "interval " keyword. I am sure there must be some similar function in pgsql, but I cannot find it.

A: You can do it like this:
select start_date + (duration_in_hours * interval '1 hour') from your_table

Double aortic arch (DAA) is a congenital vascular anomaly. The diagnosis was difficult till the child was symptomatic, and other causes were ruled out. We present the interesting images of a child of respiratory distress because of tracheal compression from DAA.

Das S, Nair VV, Airan B. Double aortic arch as a source of airway obstruction in a child. Ann Card Anaesth [serial online] 2015 [cited 2023 Jan 29 ];18:111-112
Available from: https://www.annals.in/text.asp?2015/18/1/111/148336
Double aortic arch (DAA) is the persistence of both left and right aortic arch after birth. [1] The presence of both the arches wraps the trachea and strangulates the trachea in the course of time producing airway obstruction. [1] The early diagnosis of DAA is difficult due to the rare occurrence. The exclusion of other causes of respiratory tract obstruction and the suspicion for DAA can guide the physician to diagnose with computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging.
A 7-year-old boy had a history of repeated pneumonia and stridor. He was not relieved of the symptoms by routine treatment. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy examination revealed tracheal narrowing at the lower end of the trachea without any internal pathology. The chest X-ray showed minimal narrowing above the bifurcation. He was planned for CT scan. Computerized tomography scan detected the presence of vascular ring surrounding the trachea [Figure 1]. Reconstruction of CT arteriography showed both right and left aortic arches around the trachea [Figure 2] and [Figure 3]. The diagnosis of DAA was confirmed. The right side arch was bigger and dominant. The child was scheduled for surgery. After oxygenation with 100% oxygen, anesthesia was induced with fentanyl 50 μg, midazolam 0.5 mg and ketamine 40 mg. Ease of ventilation was checked with bag and mask. Rocuronium 20 mg was administered to facilitate tracheal intubation. Trachea intubated with 5.5 mm cuffed tube and ventilated mechanically. Correct position of the endotracheal tube (ETT) was confirmed with fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Anesthesia was maintained with fentanyl, vecuronium, isoflurane and oxygen with air. Left thoracotomy was performed. The left side arch was divided and sutured at both ends. The child was ventilated mechanically for 12 h in Intensive Care Unit and trachea was extubated after slow weaning by continuous positive airway pressure mode with a full awake child. The child was relieved of symptoms without any stridor. He was kept under observation with adequate pain relief and humidification of inspired oxygen and discharged on 8 th postoperative day.{Figure 1}{Figure 2}{Figure 3}
Double aortic arch is a rare congenital vascular malformation. DAA may be right dominant (70% case), left dominant (25%) and balanced type (5%). [1] The ring of the DAA gradually increases in size and produces compression over trachea and esophagus. [1] DAA may be associated with cardiac diseases or noncardiac diseases. [2],[3] In our patient, the child had tracheal compression due to the DAA leading to stridor and repeated respiratory infection. Fiberoptic bronchoscope (FB) detected the problem and subsequent confirmation was established with CT scan. Resection of the left aortic arch relieved the tracheal compression. Surgical resection of one arch is the only curative treatment to relieve the compressive features. Airway management in the perioperative period and weaning from the ventilator are challenges for anesthesiologists. [4],[5] Ventilation after intubation in these patients may be difficult if the tip of ETT is placed or migrated to lower level in trachea and obstructed by the narrowed portion of trachea at the level of vascular ring. [5] Hence, FB confirmation of ETT tip position is helpful, and ETT should be secured firmly by adhesive plaster or thread.
The case emphasizes the suspicion for vascular ring due to DAA in children with repeated pneumonia, stridor, dysphagia and aspiration when other common etiologies were excluded. Strategic planning for airway management, selection of anesthetics, ventilation during thoracotomy, weaning from the ventilator for tracheal extubation are key concerns for administering anesthesia in DAA patients.

Over the past few months there were rumours going around that the days of this classic skating event were numbered. With 5,652 skaters registered this year, the BMW BERLIN MARATHON Inline Skating race remains the largest inline event in the world, even though numbers have been decreasing for the past few years. SCC EVENTS will do all it can, together with its partners from skating clubs and the skating industry, to secure this race long term.


Annual percentage rates come into play when borrowers look to obtain mortgage loans or credit cards. The annual percentage rate, or APR, is the amount of interest you'll pay on your loan annually, averaged over the entire term of the loan. The lower your APR, the lower your payments will be on the loan you take out.
The interest rate on a loan represents the cost of borrowing whatever the principal amount happens to be. Interest rates are always expressed as a percentage and calculate what the actual monthly payment on your loan will be.
The annual percentage rate, by contrast, offers a more complete picture as to how much you'll pay to borrow the principal amount in question, as it reflects the total costs of the loan. The APR is also expressed as a percentage. Lenders are required to disclose their APRs to borrowers, which is why you'll typically see this information on mortgage documents or credit card agreements.
When you borrow money, the total amount of interest you actually wind up paying depends on how often that interest is compounded. Compounding is a way of adding interest to a loan's principal so that more interest can be charged. As an investor, compounded interest is a good thing because it allows you to make more money. As a borrower, however, compounded interest is a bad thing because it increases the amount you ultimately pay to borrow money. Generally speaking, the more compounding periods a loan has, the more interest you'll wind up paying.
While the APR represents the annual rate of interest without taking compounding into the equation, the annual percentage yield, or APY, does take compounding into consideration. APY is a representation of an interest rate based on a one-year compounding period. The APR, by contrast, is a simpler form of calculating interest, as it is arrived at by multiplying the periodic rate of interest by the number of periods in the year. The greater the difference between APR and APY, the more frequently interest is compounded.
Here's how the concepts relate in practice: If you carry a balance on your credit card, you'll end up paying an APY that's higher than your card's quoted APR. The reason is that interest charges are added to your outstanding balance month after month, which means that for every month you carry a balance, you'll have to pay interest on those interest charges in addition to interest on your principal.

Fortschr Neurol Psychiatr Grenzgeb. 1979 Jun;47(6):320-5.
[On the temperature sensitivity of multiple sclerosis patients (author's transl)].
Aggravation of neurological symptoms in MS patients in heating is well known. This phenomenon is explained by the change of conduction in demyelinated nerve fibers. In raised temperature conduction block occurs. The threshold of conduction block dependent on temperature, is probably proportional to the degree of demyelination. It is possible to inhibit this effect by tyrosin. This model may present a view to a part of neurophysiological mechanisms of MS, on which we possibly can take therapeutical influence. By way of a questionnaire 125 MS patients were asked about changes of their symptoms in heating or cooling. 93% had marked sensitivity to heating. In 90% worsening of neurological symptoms or of general feeling occured in a hot bath. On the other hand about half the patients reported improvement in a cold bath. Therefore we suggest, that a noticeable part of neurological deficit is reversible, if we were able to raise the threshold of conduction block, which depends on temperature, ph, electrolytes and neurotransmitters.


Here is a photo of the window as it looked late last week. Bill helped me get the support structure for the tree finished. Yeah! This week, I got some work done on the red star and I got the lights put on the tree. The tree still needs to be painted green. Today I picked up 7 cases of candy from World Foods. I should have most of the candy I need for the window now except the sky which I'll be order in the next week or so.
I haven't gotten as much done this week as I'd hope. I've been fighting a cold and I finally feel like I'm winning the battle after a week. Hopefully Saturday will be a good day to get lots of candy attached.

Jordan Rodgers Supports Russell Wilson "Taking High Road" After Aaron Rodgers God Comments
By Ryan Glasspiegel | Sep 25, 2015, 9:30 AM EDT
After Green Bay beat Seattle on Sunday, Aaron Rodgers made a joke about how God was a Packers fan that night, an obvious poke at Russell Wilson, who regularly invokes the Eternal One after wins or just generally. Afterwards, Russell Wilson made what Mike Florio termed as "subtweetish" comments about taking the high road:
"I think that in terms of that comment in all that, you know everybody has a right to their own opinion," Wilson told reporters. "I know for me, I'm just grateful that God has given me the opportunity to play the great game of football, I'm so grateful. I know one of the things that my parents always taught me is just continue to reign humble in your victories and your losses, and I think that's just the thing that I'm grateful for, just to be able to play the game of football, and I love it. So like I said, everybody [is entitled] to their own opinion."
Rodgers' brother Jordan, a former Vanderbilt quarterback, chimed in … in support of Wilson? (The tweets have since been deleted so here are screengrabs:)
However one feels about this, it's pretty evident that this is all bad news for the Chiefs. Aaron Rodgers presumably won't be happy about his brother's publicly taking sides against the family, and he always plays even better than normal (which is still pretty damn good) when he's pissed.
UPDATE: The younger Rodgers seeks to clarify:
Everyone knows bro's comments were intended for humor,no malice.I liked Wilson's humility comment for QBs,no 'feud' this is non issue. Chill

National Park Week Takes Over Gateway Arch National Park
Our national parks offer something for everyone – kids, adventurers, history buffs and fitness enthusiasts alike! In celebration of National Park Week, April 21-29, Gateway Arch National Park, one of six national parks in Missouri, invites you to a variety of special events happening at the park.
On Saturday, April 21, kids ages 5-15 are invited to participate in Junior Ranger Day beginning at 9 a.m. at the Gateway Arch and Old Courthouse. (And April 21 is also a fee-free day, so enjoy $3 off adult Tram Ride to the Top tickets and free Arch Entry-Only tickets.)
Kids can be the first to earn a Junior Ranger badge featuring the new Gateway Arch National Park name by completing a Junior Ranger activity booklet. Just visit the information desk at the Arch or Old Courthouse to pick up the booklet and to take part in these special ranger-led Junior Ranger programs:
9 a.m.-3 p.m.: Kids can take part in a variety of activities at the Old Courthouse, including dressing up like a park ranger and getting their photo taken, completing an NPS map activity and completing a Junior Ranger activity booklet to earn a Gateway Arch National Park Junior Ranger badge. (Also offered Sunday, April 22.)
9 a.m. to noon: Meet 16-year-old Aida Frey, "the most decorated Junior Ranger in the country" in the Gateway Arch lobby. Since July 2010, Aida has visited 304 national parks in seven years, earning her Junior Ranger badge at each. Aida will also be available to sign copies of her book "America, Can I Have Your Autograph?: The Story of Junior Ranger Aida Frey," which is available for purchase at The Arch Store.
10 a.m.-2 p.m.: Former Gateway Arch National Park Ranger Nancy Hoppe, author of an article in the book "The Wonder of It All: 100 Stories from the National Park Service," will be signing copies of the work in the Old Courthouse Rotunda. (Also offered Sunday, April 22 from 1-3 p.m.)
11 a.m.: A special Junior Ranger swearing-in ceremony with Aida and the day's new Junior Rangers will take place in the Gateway Arch lobby. Those who've completed their activity booklet will be awarded the new Junior Ranger badge featuring the park's new name, Gateway Arch National Park.

In a recent United States district court case, a Federal Judge in northern California has ruled that companies can be involved in social media scraping activities, legally. Judge Edward M. Chen defended the interests of the public and the free flow and use of information on the open web as part of a copyright lawsuit between hiQ Labs, Inc. and the LinkedIn Corporation. This aspect provides many opportunities.
It enables data scientists, media analysts, and developers to continue to access publicly available data without burdensome technical or legal restrictions from social media sites. This is great news for companies who have the foresight to develop innovative products and solutions with the sea of public information that social media brings to the internet.
hiQ is a startup that has produced a software using innovative algorithms which determine when someone is seeking new employment on LinkedIn. These determinations are based on information that users provide or change in connection to their use of their public LinkedIn profile.
LinkedIn took issue with hiQ's acquisition of data made publicly available through their service, leading them to take measures to reduce or restrict their activities. hiQ took the case to court to defend their data harvesting activities as an integral part of their business model.
When hiQ scrapes publicly accessible data from certain areas of LinkedIn, it aggregates this data into a report that is sold to employers. With these reports, employers can gain a certain level of insight about which of their employees might be seeking new employment.
LinkedIn viewed hiQ's acquisition and use of this data as a violation of the CFAA (Computer Fraud and Abuse Act). The CFAA is a piece of legislation aimed at fighting hackers and was signed into law back in 1986. Based on this, LinkedIn issued a cease-and-desist letter to hiQ admonishing their activity and cautioning that such activities could expose them to liability under the CFAA. When the case went to court, LinkedIn pursued this angle and claimed in court that hiQ was indeed violating the CFAA by accessing servers which hosted their data and illegally harvesting it.
The court provided a narrow interpretation by putting public websites on the level with a publicly accessible storefront business with open signage. According to which, when open for business, those who venture into the store are not viewed as trespassers. With this opinion, hiQ's web scraping bots were not intruding on LinkedIn's servers, but had as much right to that information as any other member of the public. The ruling was that hiQ has the right to scrape any information that is publicly accessible. That is as long as it isn't contained on a password protected webpage.
This ruling reflects Judge Chen's interpretation of the CFAA in a way that protects data harvesters from legal liability on the grounds that such activities restrict themselves to data that is generally open to the public. Data that is hidden behind a password authentication process, on the other hand, does not fall into this category.
In this case, LinkedIn was prohibited from "preventing hiQ's access, copying, or use of public profiles on LinkedIn's website (i.e., information that LinkedIn members have designated public)." In addition, they were prohibited from enacting any sort of mechanism, whether of a technical or legal nature, and to remove those already in place. Therefore, hiQ is allowed to harvest data from LinkedIn profiles that can be accessed without actually logging in with a user name or password.
While this ruling exists as a preliminary injunction, it serves as protection of the rights of the parties while the case progresses. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals holds jurisdiction over this case, and it ruled on a similar case involving Facebook last year. For this reason, it is possible that the Ninth Circuit could apply a different interpretation, to the detriment of hiQ. A cease-and-desist letter from Facebook to a data scraper in 2016 actually resulted in their being found liable for a violation of the CFAA.
Meanwhile, Judge Chen sees merit in hiQ's claims on the basis that the company that was scraping Facebook was mining data from password-protected portions of the site.

Dinwiddie, feel free to do something. Anything at all.
"That probably is a question for Spencer," Unseld said. "I would think he has to be more aggressive, especially early in the game. I know as a point guard a lot of times you want to set the table, kind of get guys involved. And I think we can do both, I'd love to see him be a little bit more aggressive. That doesn't mean hunt shots, but a little more aggressive with his thrust up the floor, attacking, getting to the line. But just to get that started sooner."
And when asked if he needed to be more aggressive, Dinwiddie said he wasn't worried.
"It's a long season, there's a flow to it, Dinwiddie said. "You guys know how I feel about my game. It's just simply a volume of possessions, I'm not a high turnover guy. You put me in a pick-and-roll, I'm going to shoot or pass it and figure it out. I'm not worried in terms of that respect, we've got a lot of guys trying to press the go button right now. Somebody's going to not have the rock. You want to change it, then we can change it. It's that simple."

Starting to feel like a 40 win team, isn't it?

I was there with coworkers, it was too obvious Dinwiddie didn't want to run the offense and at one point passed the ball to the center at the top of the key, which immediatly confused the poor soul.
Then at some point we were looking for Beal and realized that Wes probably gave up on the game and was resting him. Even when we got it to 19, he still didn't go back in, I've never seen Wes surrender before, this was that bad of a game.
And it wasn't jus the guard play, I was frustrated with seeing Harrell in over Gafford with Allen in the game so much. We were so much smaller then them, and they were killing us in the paint while we settling for jumpers most of the game.
We may have an identity, but we get away from it sometimes, and I dont know why.
And the Ludacris concert was trash, sound system was busted and he played a lot of pop songs he was cameo on. Couple classics, but I and many felt he mailed it in

I'm all for being a team player but I've never seen a point guard so eager to give the ball up.
Also, dude never pushes the ball.
His teammates are sprinting down the floor and here comes Spencer methodically walking the ball up the floor.
Dinwiddie is who we thought he was, and that is an overrated mediocre player. Another wonderful signing by the Wizards front office.
His regression in the last 2-3 weeks is a bad sign. Seems more psychological than physical.
The backcourt has been a disaster this season when, at least the starters, should've been the strength.
Yeah, Dinwiddie has been bad but at least he's not shooting…gulp…26% from 3 this season.

Even with Brad building brick buildings from the three line, he still has a higher fg% than Dinwiddie because our point guard won't drive to the rim anymore. Beal has more assists and is playing the best defense of his career too.
I'm fairly sure Davis Bertans had more drives to the rim last night than Dinwiddie. That just can't happen.

Numbers don't lie
Is it against the law for the football team and basketball team succeed at the same time? WFT are winning and the Wizards are suddenly a dumpster fire.
I wasn't sure when the game was on and just checked it figuring it was starting maybe at 7. Yikes.
I almost forgot about this game, wish I did. GD.

True this last decade, not so true in the 2010s.
I'm just here to see if Dinwiddie pulls his head out his ass.
One thing I want to comment on, Caps fans are light-years louder and more engaged then Wizards fans. Was at a Wizards and Capitals game back to back nights, its not even close.
Spencer in the paint more, this game isn't over yet.
Nevermind, we are just fouling ourselves out of this game...
Beal with sub-20 points in back to back games. Something is not right...
Team sucks. They can't score. Players who I thought were good like Gafford have regressed. Team strikes me a bunch of JAGs. The more the season goes on the more I think trading Beal becomes more likely.
Toronto was 10-13.
Well, I didn't watch any of it. Definitely made the right decision to finish painting my son's room.
Last back-to-back was the best they looked on offense in a long time.
Beal is much worse than expected. Dinwiddie is suddenly garbage.
Have to say, I didn't see this coming at all.
Not a new thought, but god Bertans is complete trash. His contract is an abomination.
You dudes are so reactionary LOL

In a Facebook post recently, Gerald Thurman, a computing/math instructor at Scottsdale Community College located in Scottsdale, Arizona introduced me to Vampire Numbers. I'd never heard of them before and if you haven't either there is a YouTube video you can watch that is a nice introduction.
It's a tricky problem and Gerald's students didn't quite get it finished before the lab period ended. The problem apparently was false positives and a few more minutes would have given them time to finish. That's the problem with hard deadlines of course.
There are probably a lot of ways to generate an answer to this sort of problem. Brute force is obvious. I'm sure that a real mathematician (I don't even play one in school) could come up with a good efficient formula as well. Right?
A simpler but similar problem is Alexander's Numbers. Alexander's Numbers are numbers whose value is the same as the total of their digits cubed. For example, 13 + 53 + 33 equals 1 + 125 + 27 which equals 153. This is easier because you don't have to try so many possibilities. I've used this with high school students with some success.
Mathematical puzzles like this don't appeal to everyone of course but even some students who are not "in to" math find the puzzle nature of the exercise to be interesting.

NBA All-Star game expected to be a slam dunk for L.A.'s economy

The NBA All-Star game at Staples Center this weekend is expected to generate $116 million in spending by visiting and local basketball fans, a 36% increase over the economic impact seven years ago when Los Angeles last hosted the event.
The three-day hoops celebration is expected to draw 110,000 people to the events, with about a third of all celebrants coming from outside of the region, according to a study by Micronomics, a Los Angeles research and consulting firm. Visitors are expected to book 27,000 room nights for the event, the study said.
The event, running from Friday to Sunday, will showcase improvements made around the Staples Center and the Los Angeles Convention Center, where hundreds of new hotels and restaurants have been built in an area of downtown Los Angeles once dominated by warehouses and shuttered buildings.
"It's been the best possible time to be selling L.A.," said Kathryn Schloessman, president of the Los Angeles Sports and Entertainment Commission, which works to draw major sporting and entertainment events to the city. The group also paid for the Micronomics study.
The NBA events themselves — including the All-Star game, the slam dunk contest and other performances — are expected to generate about $26 million for the local economy with an additional $90 million coming from spending by visitors on food, drinks and accommodations, the study said.
The final economic impact number includes a "multiplier effect," which takes into consideration spending by workers who benefit from the event, such as limousine drivers, waiters and hotel workers.
The NBA All-Star game was last in Los Angeles in 2011, when the event sparked $85 million in spending, Micronomics said.
The 36% increase in spending between 2011 and 2018 is attributed to several factors including more events added to the celebration, new restaurant and hotel options in Los Angeles and a more positive economic outlook by visitors who are more comfortable spending money now, local tourism experts say.
Among new events, the NBA All-Star celebration will sell tickets to a practice workout by the star players and a match between players on the NBA's minor league teams, plus several community outreach events throughout Southern California.
"The increase is expected with higher prices and other things, such as the economy doing better and more hotels," said Joe Hale, a senior research associate at Micronomics who co-authored the study. "It's just a positive event for the local economy."
Schloessman said the basketball celebration underscores how popular Los Angeles has become as a host for sporting spectacles.
The new Los Angeles Stadium in Inglewood will host the NFL Super Bowl in 2022. The Los Angeles Country Club near the UCLA campus is hosting the U.S. Open golf championship in 2023. Sporting venues across Southern California will host events for the Olympic and the Paralympic Games in 2028.
"We want to keep them coming," Schloessman said.

Colonel of Truth
How my grandfather, Leon Jaworski, saved America.
Robert Draper
https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/colonel-of-truth/
From the November 2003 Issue Subscribe
THIRTY YEARS AGO, ON NOVEMBER 1, 1973, my grandfather, the Houston lawyer Leon Jaworski, was appointed Watergate special prosecutor and given the task of investigating President Richard Nixon and his White House aides for possible criminal wrongdoing. At the time, public wrath over the Republican president's shady and arrogant conduct threatened to metastasize into a full-blown constitutional crisis of a scale not seen since Reconstruction. My grandfather's appointment was hardly viewed as the antidote—not by the national media, not by the Democratic party, and definitely not by the staff of young lawyers he had inherited following the sacking of his predecessor, Archibald Cox, by acting attorney general Robert Bork, under orders from the president. And yet a crisis was averted. Three decades after the conservative Texan and his liberal Northeastern subordinates forced Nixon's resignation, I traveled to Washington, D.C., to reexamine my grandfather's place in history. What I came to appreciate, through interviews with former assistant prosecutors and Nixon White House aides, is that heroes are made, not born. How Leon Jaworski acquitted himself historically during America's fevered Watergate years of 1973 and 1974 is a complicated, not entirely pretty tale of warring egos, stubborn biases, and reluctant accommodations, all played out for the highest stakes. This, I suppose, is the stuff all mortal triumphs are made of.
None of his new employees wanted to meet him at the airport. To do so would be to confer legitimacy on the man, a tacit endorsement sure to be memorialized by the Washington press corps gathering at Dulles airport on the early afternoon of November 5, 1973. Though his new subordinates at the Watergate Special Prosecution Force knew precious little about the man, what they knew they did not like. A Texan. A former Lyndon Johnson crony. The head of a powerful corporate law firm. A former president of the ultra-establishment American Bar Association. An associate of former Texas governor and Nixon Treasury Secretary John Connally, whom they would later indict. The 1972 Texas chairman of Democrats for Nixon, a man whom they strongly suspected of a criminal conspiracy. And, of course, he had been handpicked by their nemeses, Bork and White House chief of staff Al Haig, to bring their good work to heel. Who could possibly consider this man, this Leon Jaworski, legitimate?
Even the deputy prosecutor, Henry Ruth, who was one of only two members of the 112-person staff to actually know Jaworski, did not want to greet him at the airport. Jaworski had been kind enough to call Ruth a few days before and ask him to stay on board. Ruth agreed to do so. But he, like the younger staffers, remained traumatized by the Saturday Night Massacre of October 20—in which Cox, their beloved boss, was abruptly fired by Bork after Attorney General Elliot Richardson and his deputy, William Ruckelshaus, both resigned rather than carry out Nixon's order—and deeply suspicious of the Nixon-approved successor. After all, Ruth remembered his previous association with Jaworski on President Johnson's crime commission—remembered how Jaworski would excuse himself from meetings with a pointed "If you need me, I'll be over at 1600." Meaning, of course, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the White House. A man so fond of elite climes would be easy prey for Nixon's strong-armers.
And so Ruth dispatched Jim Doyle, who promptly cried out, "Why do I have to be the guinea pig?" Doyle knew the answer: He was to be Jaworski's press-relations man, and soon the special prosecutor would be mobbed by reporters. A former reporter himself, Doyle had formed his sour impression of Texas while covering the Kennedy assassination in 1963, a mere decade earlier. When he learned that Jaworski preferred to be called the Colonel—a throwback to his days as a prosecutor of Nazi war crimes following World War II—Doyle remarked acidly, "If he wants to open a chicken shack in the office basement, then I'll call him Colonel."
Doyle and his assistant, John Barker, drove to Dulles and peeled through the reporters waiting at the gate. Presently, Jaworski stepped into the terminal. He was slightly shorter than they had imagined, his cuff links of ordinary size, and he carried a single garment bag. To the surprise of Doyle and Barker, no one accompanied him—not a senior aide, not a junior lawyer, not a secretary. The new prosecutor lingered with the reporters for a few amiable minutes before following the two staffers to the government-issued car that would whisk him off to his new workplace. On the long ride from Dulles to the District, he asked Doyle and Barker some questions about themselves and jotted down their answers on a little notepad. For the most part, however, he was introspective, even somber. At one point, he turned to Barker and said, "I want you to know one thing. I've taken this job at the president's request, but I'm nobody's man." In particular, he emphasized, he was not in John Connally's pocket. Barker was not altogether convinced. But he did like the Texan, particularly when the car arrived at the Watergate Special Prosecution Force's office at 1425 K Street and one of the reporters cluttering the entrance asked Jaworski if he intended to make any staff changes. Grinning, the new special prosecutor said, "I want to make one thing clear. These two guys," and he indicated Doyle and Barker, "are gonna stay."
No such jocularity awaited Jaworski on the eighth floor, where Ruth had convened the staff in the file room. The well-tanned lawyer in the crisp business suit greeted his troops with folksy pleasantries. They responded with sullen silence—staring at him, he said later, "like I was in a cage." He was 68; their average age was 31. But the divide was not merely generational. Sixteen days earlier, in the wake of Cox's dismissal for insisting upon subpoenaing recordings Nixon had made of his conversations in the Oval Office, this and every other room in the building had been sealed off by the FBI. "Nothing goes in, nothing goes out!" barked the agents, and they proved their point by stopping Doyle from exiting with a copy of the U.S. Constitution that he had taken off the wall. To the young staffers, it was a horror show. What kind of democracy permitted a president to shut down a prosecutor's office? And now here stood Nixon's designated stooge, with his white helmet of hair and his spit-shined shoes and his Confederate drawl: I'm looking forward to working with y'all . . . I've been assured of complete independence . . . I want us to conduct ourselves professionally—I don't want to hear about any gossiping at cocktail parties . . .
It was the monologue, fumed one of his chief prosecutors, Richard Ben-Veniste, of a man who had been dispatched "to perpetrate the biggest fix of all time."
EVERY FIVE YEARS, THE MEN and women who had just cause for doubting Leon Jaworski reunite in Washington to commemorate the Saturday Night Massacre. They are, for the most part, corporate lawyers now, pushing or exceeding sixty, their convictions tempered by parenthood and mortgage payments and the banalities of the workplace. But at these reunions, they still fawn over their aging mentor Cox (who, due to ill health, will not attend the party this November), and when they dim the lights and replay the videotape of Archie's bold and bittersweet Alamo of a press conference on October 20, 1973, a collective reverie befalls the gathering. They are young again. Brave again. Uncompromising. Wondrous. And, alas, ever so perishable.
It is fitting that the man they insisted upon calling Leon when they knew he preferred to be called the Colonel died a year before these reunions began, in 1983. For his deputies got half of him exactly right. He was, indeed, a member of the Establishment, and compromise was to him an art, not an epithet. He believed in caution and deference. He revered God, the presidency, the rule of law, and his own gut instinct, though arguably not in that order. During the more recent reunions, some of the deputies have been heard to acknowledge that, come to think of it, Leon did possess a certain wisdom. Maybe even a certain rightness. Still: Never did he embody the ideals of the bow-tied, Socratically inclined Harvard law professor whom Nixon had so cravenly sacrificed. What Leon Jaworski personified was not idealism but rather its carrion-eating cousin, practicality.
Given that I regarded the Colonel as a national hero—and, more acutely, as my hero—I did not view his role in Watergate as that of a rain cloud drenching a morality parade. I was just shy of sixteen the night I returned home from a Halloween party and was promptly led into the den by my mother, who sat me down and quietly informed me that her father, my grandfather, had just accepted one of the most difficult jobs in America. From the following morning until almost exactly a year later, I began each day reading what strangers had to say about the man who had taught me how to throw a knuckleball, gut a catfish, and revere the courtroom. Not all of the words were kind. And when I saw him over Christmas of 1973—and later in March 1974, when my brother John and I spent our spring break living with him and our grandmother at the Jefferson Hotel, in Washington—the Colonel, though unfailingly an exuberant grandfather, wore a mask of keen loneliness as his singular burden became weightier with each grim revelation.
"He succeeded in remaining mysterious to us absolutely to the end," says one of my grandfather's favorites among the young prosecutors, Carl Feldbaum. He and the others never saw the other side of Leon Jaworski. Their boss was an outsider, a Polish peon who had not been permitted membership to Houston's poshest country club. He had proudly defended bootleggers and indigent blacks, and when he accepted then-attorney general Robert F. Kennedy's assignment to prosecute Mississippi governor Ross Barnett for barring a young black man from attending Ole Miss, clients left his firm in protest and letters appeared in his mailbox bearing messages such as, "I hope your daughter has a nigger baby." He had forfeited his own youth for the sake of an early career and thus lived vicariously by gravitating to young people, among them his five shaggy-haired grandsons. A year before he left for Washington, he lost his eldest and favorite, eighteen-year-old Mike Moncrief, in a car accident. One of the Colonel's big lawyer friends had once told Mike, "You ought to be an attorney someday, young man. Attorneys, you know, have a lot of power." Mike replied that this was precisely why he did not wish to be a lawyer. The Colonel repeated this story with relish for years thereafter. It is likely that he heard Mike, and the echoes of his own alienation, in the bravado of his Watergate deputies. And that was the unseen side of Leon Jaworski that made all the difference.
ONE DAY IN 1998, CLINTON WHITE House aide Paul Begala telephoned me and asked what my fax number was. Within minutes, I was holding in my hands a speech given by the Whitewater independent counsel, Kenneth Starr, at a lawyers' convention in San Antonio. In his speech, Starr spoke of his fellow Texan "Colonel Jaworski" as a kindred spirit and cloaked his investigation in the noble robes of Watergate. Begala's gambit did not succeed in provoking me to write a Ken-Starr-You're-No-Leon-Jaworski screed. But I did spend the rest of the afternoon pondering the differences between the two men and their work. Jaworski, after all, quit his $200,000-a-year law practice to work full-time on Watergate at a salary of $38,000. Starr kept his lucrative day job, which involved representing Republican clients hostile to Clinton. Jaworski's office was so airtight that when a single news leak did occur, he ordered every staffer to sign an FBI affidavit. Starr's staff, by contrast, served as a clearinghouse of anti-Clinton propaganda for the news media. While preparing a report to the House Judiciary Committee on Nixon's conduct, Jaworski rejected the first three drafts his assistants submitted because, as he said, they were "full of accusations against Nixon. . . . We had to prepare one without any accusations. . . . Let them draw their own conclusions and their own deductions from what we were passing on to them." The notorious Starr Report, with its bawdy descriptions of Clinton's peccadilloes, exhibited no such self-restraint.
Thanks in part to the checkered performance of Starr, Iran-contra counsel Lawrence Walsh, and other recent government investigators, Jaworski and his staff are viewed today as the gold standard of prosecutorial fairness. In 1973 then-Texas Observer editor Molly Ivins penned a vicious cover story denouncing the Colonel's appointment; a quarter century later, Ms. Ivins wrote admiringly of "Jaworski's slow building of his case" and of his leakproof operations.
The stakes themselves remain incomparable. After all, in 1973 the issue was not whether a sitting president had lied about cheating on his wife but whether he had approved burglaries and spying operations on his political opponents, ordered that the burglars be plied with hush money, urged his aides to perjure themselves on the witness stand, directed that the CIA suppress an FBI investigation into the whole matter, and then lied for two full years about his involvement. Piercing this dense web of criminality presented awful challenges. How to compel a president of such arrogance and venality to vacate his post? How to achieve this with a minimum of trauma to the nation? And how to do it fairly?
Miraculously, history records that these imperatives were satisfied. But the unrecorded miracle is that all of this was accomplished by an unlikely alliance that began in the file room of 1425 K Street on November 5, 1973, when Archie Cox's orphans and the solitary Texan saw every reason to give up on each other—but, for the country's sake, did not.
THEY KEPT WAITING FOR HIM to bring in his Texas boys. But weeks passed and Jaworski had not imported so much as a secretary. And though the boss never called another general meeting after that initial disaster and eschewed Archie's free-form philosophical discourse in favor of smaller and more businesslike discussions, the senior staffers could be seen emerging from Leon's office with cautious smiles. Far from interfering with their work, he was exhorting them: Do it now. "Archie was a difficult act to follow, but there was always a naiveté about him," says Richard Davis, who headed the Political Espionage Task Force. "Leon was more practical in deciding about indictments."
But fairly. In contrast to the Whitewater staff's gang-tackling of Monica Lewinsky, Jaworski did not waylay Nixon's secretary when he learned that she had admitted responsibility for an eighteen-and-a-half-minute gap in a crucial White House tape. Instead, he took the matter to U.S. district judge John Sirica, who conducted a hearing to ensure that no other tapes would be mishandled. To avoid any appearance of impropriety, Jaworski recused himself from the task force investigating former U.S. Treasury Secretary John Connally's role in an illegal contributions scandal involving the dairy industry. (This infuriated some of Connally's friends, who had nurtured hopes that the Colonel would shut down the investigation.) And for those Nixon aides who expressed contrition and provided cooperation, Jaworski continued Cox's policy of offering plea agreements, beginning with Egil "Bud" Krogh, the young right-hand man to Nixon's top domestic counsel, John Ehrlichman. During a long meeting, Jaworski suddenly turned the subject to his days as prosecutor of the Nazi war crimes trials. "He asked if I knew the name Albert Speer," Krogh recalls. "He mentioned that while the gravity of Speer's actions was vastly different from mine, there's a principle at stake in both cases, which is that a person is responsible for his actions and can't justify them by the orders he's been given. Those who prosecuted Speer felt he made an honest effort to take responsibility for his actions."
Jaworski had seen the same quality in Krogh. Not long after the former Nixon aide had completed his prison sentence, in 1974, my grandfather wrote a letter of recommendation urging that Bud Krogh be reinstated to the Washington State bar.
ON DECEMBER 12, 1973, SEVERAL ASSISTANT prosecutors huddled in Richard Ben-Veniste's office to listen to the first of the White House tapes. And there was the president's voice, as factual as death itself: "You could get a million dollars. . . . You could get it in cash. I, I know where it could be gotten. . . . Just be damned sure you say, 'I don't remember. I can't recall.'"
They might have expected this to be a moment of jubilation. After all, a few of the younger prosecutors kept a tally board in which Watergate-related victories were chalked up either for "CC," the Children's Crusade, or for "WK," the Wicked King. And yet, as Jill Wine-Banks (formerly Volner) would put it, the audible proof of Richard Nixon's criminality "devastated your entire concept of the office. It was horrifying."
And, they quickly agreed, it was something Leon needed to hear. Carl Feldbaum lugged the reel-to-reel machine into the boss's office and dropped it on his desk. He sat across from his superior, studying his round, implacable face as the damning words were replayed. After the tape ran out, the older man took off his headphones and said to his associate, "Thank you."
On his way back to his desk, Feldbaum was swarmed by his colleagues. Well? What did Leon say? "Nothing." Come on! His face must have registered something. "Zero."
But later that afternoon, Jaworski's secretary, Florence Campbell, said to deputy Henry Ruth, "I'm worried about Mr. Jaworski. He's been in his office all day with the door closed."
Ruth knocked on his boss's door. He found the prosecutor sitting at his desk with his head in his hands, staring at the floor. "Leon, what's going on?" Ruth asked.
The drawl was dirgelike. "I can't believe I just heard the president of the United States telling someone to say, 'I don't recall; I don't remember,'" he murmured.
Ruth thought, This is a turning point. By the end of the day, everyone in the office knew it: Leon was radicalized.
"I'D SEEN SOME OF THE ABUSES of the Cox operation," says Al Haig today. "With Leon, you'd get an honest shake. To me, you can't ask for more than an honest, objective, patriotic prosecutor, and I think we were lucky to have one."
But neither side felt that way at the time. The Watergate staff remained leery of Jaworski, especially when he would leave the office in mid-afternoon with a bulging briefcase and tell no one of his intentions. Sometimes a member of the prosecution force followed him—saw him disappear into his hotel or his firm's Washington office or, perhaps, behind the White House gates. The imagination reeled, but imagination was all it was. The Colonel's periodic meetings with Haig involved no secret deals. He left his own office to make calls and read documents because he craved uninterrupted moments and because he correctly guessed that his subordinates were parsing his every utterance. For that matter, he flew home to his ranch in Wimberley whenever he could. And there, in the womb of his family, he would at last let loose, grumbling about the hothead Ben-Veniste and Nixon's lawyers—and then speaking in cryptic but malevolent tones of what the White House tapes revealed about the leader of the free world.
He wanted Nixon out of there. Not prosecuted as a sitting president, as some of the assistant prosecutors urged. Jaworski preferred the constitutional remedy of impeachment. Yet for Congress to impeach, it needed evidence, and the special prosecutor did not want to prejudice the imminent trials of Nixon's top aides by releasing the dynamite he and his staff had been quietly sitting on for months or by broadcasting what he believed was on other tapes the White House still possessed. Throughout the spring of 1974, Jaworski and his young associates jousted. To treat Nixon as the caretaker of America's most sacred institution? Or to treat him as subject to the laws like anyone else? The compromise they struck was as elegant as it was unprecedented: The Watergate grand jury, in a sealed report to Judge Sirica, would designate Nixon as an unindicted co-conspirator and authorize Jaworski to name him as such whenever he deemed it necessary. What this meant was that the grand jury would not, as Jaworski put it, publicly "brand [Nixon] indelibly without an opportunity to defend himself." But if and when Nixon's lawyers refused to turn over the tapes for use in the Watergate cover-up trial on the grounds that the grand jury had not named Nixon as a conspirator, Jaworski could reveal his trump card.
And that is exactly what transpired, leading to a showdown at the U.S. Supreme Court on July 8, 1974. Never strong on appellate matters, Jaworski had not wanted to be the one to argue the case, but its magnitude required that the special prosecutor be a participant. In the end, his thirty-year-old co-counsel, Philip Lacovara, smoothed over the boss's uneven performance with a magnificent closing argument. On July 24, the high court ruled unanimously that Nixon must surrender the tapes. Twelve days later, the White House did so. The president acknowledged that what they revealed was "at variance with certain of my previous statements." On August 9, 1974, Richard Nixon quit his office.
Nixon's resignation liberated the young Watergate prosecutors. Now they could pursue the ex-president as rigorously as they had prosecuted his lieutenants, unsaddled by constitutional issues. With the single exception of the brilliant Nashville trial lawyer James Neal—who was in his forties and not from a Northeastern liberal tradition—all of Jaworski's assistants urged that Nixon be indicted. "But Leon took a broader view," says Neal, "that I'm a citizen, and a citizen with a great deal of power, and I should use that power in a way that redounds to the ultimate good of the country." Jaworski could not be shaken from his belief that the massive pretrial publicity would mean endless trial delays, and perhaps no fair trial ever. When he consulted his heart, he found pity there. Haig had informed him of Nixon's "deteriorating health." Said Senator James Eastland: "He's in bad shape, Leon," elaborating that Nixon had weepily begged, "Don't let Jaworski put me in that trial with [Bob] Haldeman and Ehrlichman [former top Nixon aides]. I can't take any more." With the quarry dead in his sights, the Watergate special prosecutor put the voluminous case against Richard Nixon aside, pausing to consider the moment, the man, the country, his duties, and his conscience.
A day came in early September when Nixon's new ace attorney, Herbert J. "Jack" Miller, met secretly with Jaworski in the restaurant of the Jefferson Hotel and asked the special prosecutor if he would challenge a presidential pardon or in any way attack it on the airwaves. Miller walked out of the Jefferson that afternoon with the definite sense, he now says, "that if a pardon were granted, Jaworski would consider that the prerogative of the president." Thus was Nixon bestowed executive clemency by President Gerald Ford on September 8, 1974. The press release issued by Jim Doyle the following morning declared that "the special prosecutor will not discuss the subject of the pardon granted former president Nixon."
Dismay rocked the office at 1425 K Street. "The blow delivered by the pardon was that it established the opposite point of no one being above the law," says Lacovara, who resigned in protest. According to Ben-Veniste, "Some said, 'There goes Leon. He's done it. There's the Deal.'" Forever thin-skinned, Jaworski could scarcely bear to face his staff. On September 19, he stepped out of his office to find a cake on his secretary's desk and the staff gathered around it, singing "Happy Birthday." The Colonel blushed, thanked them, and retreated to his office without taking a bite. On October 12, he submitted his letter of resignation to the attorney general.
The New York Times charged that my grandfather's decision to leave the force while the trials were still in progress bordered on "desertion of duty." Many of his staffers shared that view. Others recognized that their boss's work was done and that he badly yearned to rejoin his former life. There would be, in any event, no going-away party, just as there had been no welcome wagon. And though the Colonel would later tell people that it had been a fond parting, replete with picture-taking and autograph-dispensing, the stone-cold reality is that the Watergate special prosecutor returned to his world in Texas, Archie Cox's protégés to theirs, and their historic association came to a decisive end.
One day in October 1974, Jim Doyle and John Barker accompanied Leon Jaworski to Dulles airport, where the two staffers had first laid eyes on the new boss a year earlier. The air in the car was thick with poignancy—and yes, finally, with warmth. For the divide had been crossed, a monumental moment shared. And who could not be grateful for it? Barker had brought a bottle of wine and three glasses along for the occasion. They uncorked it in the car, passed it around, and remembered. When the plane arrived in Austin, the former Watergate special prosecutor stepped out into the terminal to greet his wife and then realized that he was not carrying his garment bag—that it must still be on the plane, trapped somewhere between his world and the world he had left behind.

Why won't my child use the toilets at childcare?
Your child may find the toilets a scary prospect for some reason. You need to find out what is making him feel this way. Maybe it's the smell of the toilets, or the sound of the flush, or even the relationship he has with the childcarer who takes him there.
Make sure that you talk to the supervisors at the childcare centre, as they may have a suggestion.
Go and have a look at the toilets when the other children are not there. What do you think? Are they clean? Take him to the toilet yourself and see his reaction. He may even be able to show you the problem.
If the loos aren't clean enough, it's quite likely that other parents will be equally concerned. So it's worth raising it with the manager of your child's childcare centre.
Find out if there are enough carers at your toddler's childcare to supervise your child when he needs to go. Your child may react well to knowing that one of the helpers will accompany him and stay with him. Staffing levels should allow this, especially as more than one child can be taken at a time.
It may be that the class goes to the loo as one group, and your toddler would prefer to go on his own, though isn't keen to draw attention to himself by asking. Find out how the other children tell the teacher they need to go to the toilet.
If you think he is embarrassed or reluctant to ask to go to the toilet, you could arrange for him to have a little card with his request written on it. He can then discreetly hand his teacher this potty pass when he wants to go.
Be patient with your child, and try not to make an issue of it, or the problem may become worse. Ask your childcarers to ensure they aren't shaming or embarrassing him when he won't use the toilet. Using toilets away from home is another stage in the process of coming out of nappies. In time, your little one will manage this, too.
How can I get my toddler to move from the potty to the loo?
How should I handle toilet training accidents?
Toilet training has become a battle of wills. Should I back off?

We are beyond thrilled by our experiences using PuppySpot. They are consumate professionals and pay attention to details. We adore our precious Timothy and have already recommended PuppySpot to friends.
January 3, we lost our first dog - not even 3 years old. He was a multi-generational Cavachon (mut) :) We had been recommended to PuppySpot by one of your former clients and we ordered Tate on January 5th. This beautiful little boy is happy, loving, and is bringing immense joy to us. His breeder called me the day after his arrival as well. The experience was superb! I'd do it again (and hope to!) He just had a professional photo shoot - enjoy!
Wonderful service, everything went smoothly and puppy was delivered on time with no issues. Love my new fur baby!
Cavachon Characteristics
The Cavachon is an adorably fuzzy hybrid – a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Bichon Frise. As both of their parent breeds, they're affectionate, smart, and even spunky. They love to play and spend time with their families. Since they're quite small, they adapt well to any kind of indoor living, including apartments.
A breed of many names, the Cavachon also goes by the Cavalier-Bichon or Bichon-King Charles. Standing about 12-13 inches at the shoulder and weighing anywhere between 15-35 pounds, the Cavachon is a perfect lap-sized companion. These dogs are very mild-mannered and can acclimate to homes with children or pets with ease.
Available in an assortment of coats, the Cavachon can be found in apricot, black, white, and more. Their coats tend to grow to a medium length and are usually good for people who suffer from allergies. They're also relatively easy to groom, and only require a brushing every 7-10 days.
Cavachons want nothing more than to please their owners, and will likely follow you from room to room. They only require a moderate amount of exercise and are often more focused on the attention they receive from their owner than the amount of time they get to spend at the dog park.
They adapt to almost any home that will love them and will give lots of love and affection in return.
How dog-friendly is West Virginia?
West Virginia consistently ranks as a pretty great state for dog lovers! Its beautiful outdoor spaces, access to care, and animal welfare laws help give the state good marks.
We looked at two major studies on pet-friendliness. Both ranked all 50 states by important factors like access to pet care, pet-friendly accommodations, animal cruelty laws, access to dog parks, and more.
The first, by animal welfare group Pawsafe, ranked West Virginia as the 25th most pet-friendly state. Made it into the top half!
The second study ranked West Virginia even higher. Safewise, a consumer safety review site, gave West Virginia 13th place in all 50 states. In both studies, the state scored well for its animal welfare laws related to abuse, neglect, fighting, or pet care standards. I
Taking both studies together shows West Virginia to be pet-friendly overall, but leaves room for improvement.
A few more facts for dog-lovers in West Virginia
BringFido lists West Virginia as a pet-friendly travel destination with over 850 verified pet-friendly hotels and motels. The site also lists the Ghost Tours of Harpers Ferry and the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum as popular dog-friendly attractions.

What kinds of dogs do West Virginians love? According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), the most popular dogs in West Virginia are Labradors, Retrievers, and Huskies. Other popular breeds include Beagles, Basset Hounds, and Collies.
Animal welfare & dog shelters in West Virginia
West Virginia saved 34,117 dogs and cats during 2020. However, 2,739 animals were reported killed over this same period.
Twenty-four out of 54 of the animal shelters within West Virginia are no-kill shelters. The percentage of no-kill shelters is average, and the state has an average save rate of 84%. This is below the 90% mark needed to be considered a no-kill state.

It is easy to change the datasource in Tableau by using "Replace data source" in the data menu. However, this action has some limitations as calculated fields, color formatting etc. is not moved but will revert to the default values.
Jonathan Drummey showed this great hack on the community, which is a time saver if you change data source and end up with a lot of work because colors, aliases and other metadata will revert to the default values.
The trick is to go inside the XML file behind every Tableau workbook and then swop the section where the data source is defined to a new one. Simply create a workbook with the new connection, open it (with notepad or a similar text-edit tool) and copy/paste the connection string to the existing workbook.

French priest's martyrdom a life-changing event, archbishop says
Thursday, 27th July 2017
The martyrdom of a French priest killed a year ago while celebrating Mass was an event that "has transformed me as a bishop," Archbishop Dominique Lebrun of Rouen said.
Fr Jacques Hamel's life – "simple and exemplary – questions me as a pastor and shepherd on how to consider the life of priests, on what I expect from them in terms of efficiency. I must tirelessly convert, to pass from this request for efficiency to admiration for their fruitfulness," the archbishop said in an interview with the Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano.
Fr Hamel was murdered on 26th July 2016, when two men claiming allegiance to Daesh stormed his parish church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray near Rouen.
After taking several hostages, the attackers slit Fr Hamel's throat and seriously injured another parishioner. Witnesses say that in his final moments, the beloved 85-year-old parish priest tried to push away his attackers with his feet, saying "go away, Satan."
Following a standoff, police killed the attackers, ending the hostage situation.
