O Burg Trausnitz é um castelo localizado acima do centro histórico da cidade de Landshut, capital da região da Baixa Baviera, na Gemeinde Berg ob Landshut (área montanhosa de Landshut). Em 1928, o castelo foi incorporado em Landshut, juntamente com aquela área montanhosa.

Localização
O castelo está localizado no centro da região montanhosa da Baixa Baviera (Unterbayerisches Hügelland), a uma altitude de cerca de 500 metros acima do nível do mar, no ponto mais alto do esporão de uma encosta íngreme, o chamado Hofberg. O planalto fica directamente sobre a cidade de Landshut e o Rio Isar, na Gemarkung Berg ob Landshut. O castelo é rodeado por foreestas e a norte é seguido pelo jardim da corte. Este parque foi o antigo jardim palaciano do castelo, acessível à população de Landshut como um parque público desde 1837. Os Jardins do Duque (Herzoggarten) foram reorganizados em 1784 por Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell e pelo seu irmão Matthias.

História

História inicial
Durante as escavações realizadas no terreno do castelo entre Novembro de 2001 e Abril de 2002, provou-se a existência de duas fortificações mais antigas. Também havia alguns fragmentos de cerâmica, provavelmente resultantes da Cultura dos Campos de Urnas. Portanto, é assumido que a primeira defesa surgiu já na Pré-história.

Achados de fragmentos de cerãmica datados dos séculos IX/X surgem na segunda fortificação no período da Alta Idade Média. Estas estruturas eram, provavelmente, feitas de madeira, não se podendo excluir a existência duma muralha de pedra.

Os anos de fundação

Uma parte do actual complexo foi construída antes da fundação da cidade de Landshut e mencionado por volta do ano 1150 como Landeshuata (Landeshut = "custódia e protecção das terras"). Tratava-se particularmente duma torre de vigia em madeira que, mais tarde, serviu para dar nome à cidade recém-formada.

O castelo de hoje data, nas suas partes mais antigas, de 1204, quando o Luís I da Baviera fundou a cidade de Landshut. O ano exacto da fundação do castelo é conhecido graças aos anais do abade Hermann von Niederaltaich, onde se diz em latim: "Lvdwicus dux Bawariae castrum et oppidum in Lantshvt construere cepit" (Luís da Baviera, começou a erguer um castelo e uma povoação em Landshut). Em 1227 nasceu no  castelo Isabel da Baviera, filha do Otão II da Baviera e, mais tarde, rainha consorte da Germânia, Sicília e Jerusalém pelo seu casamento com Conrado IV da Germânia. Em 1235 o castelo estava praticamente concluído quando o Imperador Frederico II foi recebido como convidado em Landshut. Nesse período, o castelo foi um centro da política imperial e da cultura dos Hohenstaufen. Entre outros hóspedes do castelo contam-se Minnesängers como Tannhäuser e Walther von der Vogelweide. Para o adorno e esculturas do castelo foi trazido especificamente um escultor de Estrasburgo. O Duque Luís e o seu filho Oto II dirigiram as primeiras Chancelarias do Estado da Baviera (Bayerische Staatskanzlei).

Apogeu como corte ducal bávara

No século XV, os chamados ricos duques da Baviera-Landshut, Luís IX, o Rico, e Jorge, o Rico, mandaram expandir o castelo. Isso resultou na elevação das muralhas de cintura e na criação da nova Dürnitz (espaço aquecido) e das torres de cerca.

No século XVI, o Landeshuata foi então renomeado como Burg Trausnitz (Traus nitz = não ouso) e até 1503 foi quase continuamente sede ducal dos baixo-bávaros Wittelsbach. A partir de 1516, o Duque Luís X mandou converter o Burg Trausnitz num palácio renascentista. No entanto, pouco resta deste período. Com base num modelo de cidade personalizado de 1572, elaborado pelo ebanista Jakob Sandtner, natural de Straubing, para Alberto V, o qual viveu no castelo com a sua esposa, Ana de Habsburgo-Jagelão, até à sua entronização, pode ver-se que naquela época o pátio externo estava construído em estreita ligação com os edifícios agrícolas, os quais já não existem actualmente. Até 1573 Hans Donauer trabalhou nos afrescos no Salão dos Cavaleiros (Rittersaal).

O castelo passou por uma outra bolha cultural devido a Guilherme V que, de 1568 a 1579, durante o seu período como príncipe-herdeiro, trouxe para a sua corte muitos e significativos músicos, artistas e comediantes. Em 1573 mandou construir a primeira cervejaria (hofbräuhaus) bávara no castelo e produziu cerveja preta até 1590, mas em
27 de Setembro de 1589 o edifício da Münchner Hofbräuhauses já estava pronto para fornecer as cortes dos Wittelsbach e os seus funcionários. Entre 1568 e 1578, o complexo de Guilherme V foi convertido por Friedrich Sustris num palácio com pátio onde existiam três pisos de arcadas. As pinturas de parede resultantes desse período, ao estilo do Maneirismo florentino, foram em grande parte destruídas num incêndio em 1961.

A Idade Moderna

Durante a Guerra dos Trinta Anos, a cidade de Landshut e o castelo foram cercados pelos suecos no dia 22 de Julho de 1634. O lado oriental do complexo foi atingido, o que resultou na abertura duma grande brecha na muralha, por onde os suecos conseguiram entrar. O portão que se encontra nesse local chama-se, por causa desse incidente, "Portão dos Suecos" (Schwedentor).

Entre 1675 e 1679, o Eleitor Fernando Maria mandou espandir as pinturas murais, hoje destruídas.

No século XVIII, os ultrapassados apartamentos do castelo já não correspondiam ao gosto barroco dos príncipes-eleitores. Durante esse período, o Burg Trausnitz serviu, entre outras coisas, como caserna e cadeia para prisioneiros nobres. A manufactura de seda e de lã foi criada em 1762, mas esteve em actividade apenas alguns anos. Desde essa época, também estiveram nas salas do castelo os registos das rendas do amt eleitoral, a partir dos quais se desenvolveram os Arquivos de Estado da Baixa Baviera, existentes em Trausnitz até hoje.

No início do século XIX, o castelo serviu novamente como caserna e como lazareto, até que finalmente, a partir de 1831, surgiu ali um hospital de cólera. O Rei Luís II mandou construir, entre 1869 e 1873, explêndidas salas no segundo andar do edifício dos príncipes (Fürstenbau) . O inventário foi criado por Anton Pössenbacher. Joseph Knabl executou, para a Capela de São Jorge (Georgskapelle), a Nossa Senhora como Patrona Bavariae com o Menino Jesus, frente à qual se ajoelha o Rei Luís II como Grão-prior da Ordem de São Jorge.

No dia 18 Novembro de 1901 faleceu no castelo Josef Edmund Jörg, um político, historiador, jornalista e arquivista bávaro que, ao longo da sua vida, administrou e ordenou os arquivos da Baixa Baviera em nome do governo de Luís II, ganhando mais tarde o apelido de "Ermita de Trausnitz" (Einsiedler auf der Trausnitz). A partir de 1924, Rudolf Esterer ficou responsável pelo restauro do castelo como arquitecto da Administração Bávara dos Palácios, Jardins e Lagos Estatais (Bayerische Verwaltung der staatlichen Schlösser, Gärten und Seen. O castelo pertenceu até 1928 à Gemeinde Berg ob Landshut, ano em que foi incorporado em Landshut como parte daquela comunidade de montanha. O nome da comunidade foi oficialmente abolido em 1961 (Resolução do Governo da Baixa Baviera, de 28 de Março de 1961 - Nr. II/4 - 4055 L 1).

Em 2009 recebeu 62.400 visitantes, um aumento de 25%.

Estrutura

Na extremidade sudoeste do monte fica a área principal do castelo (hauptburg). O pátio era delimitado pelo chamado Pfaffenstöckl e pelo portão de dupla torre - mais tarde alterado estruturalmente - pela casa do guarda do palácio, pela torre de menagem - a chamada Torre Wittelsbach (Wittelsbacher Turm) - pelo Edifício dos Príncipes (Fürstenbau), pelo antigo palácio, pelo alpendre italiano, pela capela, pelo edifício do Salão dos Cavaleiros (Dürnitzbau), pelo Söller e pelo Piso das Damas (Damenstock). A sul e sudoeste estende-se um zwinger com torres. O pátio exterior (vorburg), com o edifício dos estábulos da corte e o edifício da adega, fica na área dianteira leste. No lado sudeste do pátio exterior fica um portão do zwinger, que antes tinha quatro portões do castelo.

A fortificações medievais permanecem, em grande parte, intactas. Os elementos mais antigos do hauptburg, datados do período entre 1204 e 1230/1240, foram construídos no chamado estilo gótico cisterciense. As estruturas dessa época incluém a muralha de cintura, a torre de menagem, o palácio, a tardo-românica Capela de São Jorge - à qual pertencem os mais importantes exemplos de escultura do século XIII na região da Baviera - o antigo Dürnitz - com 245 m² de área e duas naves - e o portão de dupla torre, todas elas remodeladas muitas vezes.

A partir do século XV foram empreendidas construções de grande porte no núcleo. Entre estas, o pequeno Dürnitz e o Weiße Saal (Salão Branco), um salão de cerca de 240 m² com dois pisos situado sobre o antigo Dürnitz, concebido como grande salão de festas embora, provavelmente, nunca tenha sido completamente concluído, uma vez que faltam as habituais pinturas murais. Em 1494 o castelo passou a dispor duma nova torre de menagem.

Entre 1516 e 1545, sob o Duque Luís X, foram empreendidos amplos trabalhos de arranjo interior com fins representativos.

A partir de 1575, o Trausnitz foi reconstruído sob o Príncipe Guilherme de forma a tornar-se num palácio fortificado em estilo do Renascimento italiano, sendo as fachadas dos pisos em galeria do pátio interior equipadas com extensas arcadas e a continuidade das juntas de alvenaria estruturadas com recurso a pilastras lisas. Para o planeamento e direcção dos trabalhos, Guilerme V contratou o pintor germano-holandês Friedrich Sustris, que já tinha trabalhado anteriormente em Augsburg para os Fugger e tivera uma ampla educação na corte dos Grão-duques da Toscânia em Florença.

Sustris deixou o Edifício Dürnitz (Dürnitzbau) com uma fachada de três pisos e criou galerias abertas nos andares superiores. Também tomou este conceito na reconstrução do Edifício dos Príncipes (Fürstenbau), uma ala curta do castelo que se conecta com a parte sul. Entre as duas fachadas, ergueu uma escadaria no pátio do castelo, também aberta por arcadas.

No lado oeste do Edifício dos Príncipes foi erguido um alpendre rectangular, o chamado "Alpendre Italiano" (Italienische Anbau), que acomoda uma escadaria e um gabinete em cada andar com abóbada em caixotão e pintada em estilo renascença italiano. Esta escadaria está decorada com figuras da Commedia dell'arte em tamanho natural, pintadas por Alessandro Paduano, sendo por isso conhecida como "escadaria dos tolos" (narrentreppe).

Também o Söller, já conhecido em 1493 por este nome, conheceu nesta fase a sua forma final com arcada de arcos de volta perfeita. O tecto passou a ser decorado com rosetas, no lado leste foi construída uma pequena torre-escada e no lado sul um coreto em alvenaria.

Durante a Guerra dos Trinta Anos, por causa dos ataques dos suecos a Landshut e ao castelo, as muralhas exteriores e as fortificações foram reforçadas. No lance de assalto ao castelo, no dia 22 de Julho de 1634, grande parte dos edifícios agrícolas no pátio exterior foram muito danificados, tendo que ser demolidos depois disso, não tendo lugar qualquer reconstrução. No lugar desses edifícios encontra-se actualmente o "Prado Sueco" (Schwedenwiese).

No dia 21 de Outubro de 1961, o Edifício dos Príncipes ardeu. O fogo sacrificou quase todas as pinturas, os móveis e decorações do palácio, assim como os magníficos apartamentos mandados executar pelo Rei Luís II. Foram preservadas Narrentreppe no alpendre italiano e a Capela de São Jorge. No recém-reconstruído Edifício dos Príncipes encontra-se actualmente o arquivo Estatal de Landshut.

A partir da cidade velha, a chamada Escadaria dos Príncipes (Fürstentreppe) - também conhecida popularmente como Ochsenklavier (piano-boi) - conduz ao pátio externo do castelo. Tratava-se de um caminho em tijolo, com reforços laterais, construído de forma que os cavalos fossem capazes de subir a montanha.

No restaurado Piso das Damas (Damenstock) pode ser vista, desde Setembro de 2004, a "Câmara de Arte e Curiosidades do Burg Trausnitz" como um novo ramo museológico dos Bayerischen Nationalmuseums (Museus Nacionais da Baviera). Em forma reconstruída, mostra a Colecção do Duque Alberto V, que inicialmente estava em Munique, no segundo andar do Alte Münze, e foi utilizada principalmente para fins de representação.

Algumas áreas características do castelo

Salão dos Cavaleiros
O Salão dos Cavaleiros do Burg Trausnitz pertence aos edifícios principais do século XIII e já existia por volta de 1260/1270. O salão tem uma área de 245 m² e está dividido em duas naves. As construções que foram usadas pertencem ao período do chamado "gótico cisterciense". Actualmente, o Salão dos Cavaleiros é usado para banquetes festivos ou exposições de curta duração

Torre Terraço (Söller)
A "Loggia", já chamada de Söller desde 1493, foi acabada no século XVI. A Torre Terraço permite uma grande vista da cidade através dos arcos. No lado leste existe uma torre-escada. O tecto de madeira com rosetas remonta à época de Guilherme V. No lado sul da sala existe uma plataforma de música murada. O Söller é hoje usado para várias funções diferentes e pode acolher até um máximo de 99 pessoas.

Salão Branco
O Salão Branco fica no primeiro andar do "Dürnitz" e está directamente acima do Salão dos Cavaleiros. Provavelmente, este salão existe desde o século XV e foi planeado como um grande salão de baile. Como já foi dito, parece nunca ter sido concluído, uma vez que não existem vestígios de pinturas, como seria de esperar para o castelo da época. O salão com uma área de cerca de 240 m² e altura de dois pisos, é actualmente usado para banquetes, acolhimentos, concertos e leituras. Os visitantes podem desfrutar da ampla vista sobre a cidade antiga de Landshut.

Escadaria dos Tolos (Narrentreppe)
A escadaria monumental é o único testemunho visual neste estilo e, simultaneamente, é a representação mais antiga da arte dramática italiana a norte dos Alpes.

O desenho da pintura de parede, com figuras em tamanho real, foi encomendado em 1575 pelo Duque Guilherme V. As pinturas foram, então desenhadas por Friedrich Sustris e executadas, entre 1575 e 1579, por Alessandro Padovano. As pinturas foram parcialmente destruídas por um incêndio em 1961, mas novamente restauradas.

Na escadaria está presente um Pantaleão na forma de um ridículo amante idoso e outras figuras da Commedia dell'arte italiana.

Câmara de Arte e Curiosidades
Um fenómeno no Renascimento que proliferou na Europa ao longo dos séculos XVI e XVII, o gabinete de curiosidades era, em essência, uma colecção pessoal de objectos raros, desconhecidos e maravilhosos. Popular, visual e enciclopédica na sua abordagem, estes gabinetes, ou wunderkammern, incluiam uma diversidade de exemplares tanto de mundos conhecidos como de recém-descobertos. Estas colecções de objectos curiosos, que eram aparentemente não humanos em natureza, requerem a ideia ou aplicação de cararacterísticas e traços para descrever o seu estado inumano.

A Câmara de Arte e Curiosidades de Trausnitz, a qual foi arranjada pelo Príncipe Guilherme em 1579 e, então, levada para Munqique, é uma colecção de 750 peças, incluindo obras de arte, tesouros do Oriente e curiosidades típicas das colecções possuidas por governantes na era renascentista. Foi reaberto em Setembro de 2004 como parte do Bayerisches Nationalmuseum. A câmara está dividida em quatro temas diferentes. ARTIFICIALA — prestidigitação maravilhosa — contém sumptuosos bronzes e pinturas mas também diminutas esculturas em pedras de ameixa. NATURALIA — a maravilha da natureza — mostra animais empalhados, extraordinários chifres, mexilhões e minerais. O hall de EXOTICA — maravilhas de países estrangeiros — contém artesanato de corais, marfim e madrepérola. SCIENTIFICA — ciência organiza o mundo — mostra instrumentos científicos de aquisição racional do mundo em 1600.

O castelo como cenário cinematográfico
 Parte do quarto telefilme "Wallenstein" foi filmado, em 1978, nos espaços do Burg Trausnitz.
 Em 2008, o castelo serviu de cenário para o filme 1½ Ritter – Auf der Suche nach der hinreißenden Herzelinde.

Abstinence from gambling has been the only acknowledged treatment goal in most interventions for gambling disorders. However, a new study from Australia challenges the notion that abstaining from gambling is the only path to recovery. Wendy Slutske, Ph.D., of the University of Missouri-Columbia, discusses research that found 90 percent of those in the recovery group participated in some form of gambling in the past year. She explores the implications of this finding for treatment and interventions.

Home > Law > Should I Be Worried?
This is more of a cry for help then a simple question. I've been asking my friends and family about this for a while yet nothing has come up so I've come to different communities to see if any one shares my experience or has any input on the whole situation. I'm new here so if this ends up posted in the wrong place or page please forgive me and bare with me as updates may be slow.
I've lived in my house for around 6 months now since I got out of university and moved out from my parents place. Everything is fine with the house itself and it's honestly a beautiful place. The problems started around 1 months ago when I found a small blank piece of paper in the holes of my front screen door. There were no words on it, and no lines were there either. Just plain sketching paper. Of course I brushed this off and made my way to work in the morning. About 2-4 days later the same thing occurred and from what I remember it had been placed in the exact same place as the other had been. My neighbourhood is a very clean one so finding an odd piece of trash near your door is not something that is common.
Other then being a little paranoid I once again brushed it off. After another about 3 days another paper was resting in the same spot, yet this one was blood red, still bare, just a plain bold red colour. Now me being a young 23 year old girl, I was getting rather worried. I understand that it is a very minor thing but it was just really confusing. So, after another red card appear I went to the extent of putting in a security camera in my front lawn. When 2-4 days pasted I checked the feed and the weirdest thing I noticed through this time was a normal looking vehicle approach my house at around 2 in the morning before leaving in what looked like a hurry. I know this is not any sustainable evidence but I'm just worried. No more strange notes have turned up since though the car had returned two more times, slowing down as it passed my house.
Should I contact the authorities or am I just over reacting. Any advice is appreciated.
May be the equivalent of the US door bell licker.
Maybe the last owner had an arrangement with someone who signals their request for something with the paper; and don't know that they've moved on. If your camera is picking up the vehicle then it might be worth reporting. But most likely nothing to get stressed over. Vehicle and paper may be unconnected anyway. Once you have a concern it's easy to tie together unrelated things trying to find an explanation.
I would guess Charlie is in the US of A.
This all sounds like an opening to a horror film. I would be very unnerved by such occurrences and suggest that you ring 911.
Do any of your neighbours across the street have any CCTV which might pick up anything that you can't see on your's? No harm in having a word with the local police. They might have more information, things which could relate to former tenants maybe or other instances which might suggest a reason for it. I'd keep everything, take photos etc... Quite possibly a very simple explanation but at least you have a record should it need reporting officially.
I would contact the authorities just to make them clear of the situation in the neighbourhood. If worst comes to worse at least you've got a record of a report.

The Retail price index has long been a flagship marker on the state of the economy and the state of mind of the consumer.
Now Scotland is to get its own index, reflecting what we as Scots are buying and how confident we feel spending our hard earned cash.
Prof Sparks from Sterling University said:. "I suspect that we will see more and more businesses and organisations of this kind recognising that Scotland will have to be treated differently following the establishment of a Scottish parliament. There is a desperate need for data on a Scottish level. At present the data obtained at a national level does not tell us whether things are happening differently in Scotland - we have no real idea. Accurate information on a consistent basis is very important indeed."

Airbus orders lag Boeing in Jan-July
Thu, Aug 06, 2015 - 7:39 PM
[PARIS] Airbus won 408 gross plane orders in the first seven months of the year, the European planemaker said on Thursday, lagging US rival Boeing with 426 aircraft sales.
Excluding cancellations for 24 A320, 10 A321 and seven A350-900 jets, Airbus had 367 net orders in the period from Jan. 1 to July 31. This compared with a total of 380 for Boeing in the period ended July 28.
Last month brought 26 new orders for Airbus, including 25 A321neo jets for an undisclosed customer.
Airbus said it delivered 353 planes in January to July, including 15 of its A380 superjumbos.
Parent Airbus Group said on Friday the A380 programme was still on track to break even by the end of this year despite forecasting it would deliver fewer than the 30 aircraft it had planned.
The company is deliberating whether to upgrade the A380 superjumbo with new engines, but has said it was confident of securing sales of the existing model this year.
Airbus has forecast total deliveries should be slightly higher this year than the 629 achieved in 2014.
Airbus clung to the top spot in commercial plane orders last year with a total of 1,796 gross orders and 1,456 net sales. It failed to close the gap on deliveries, however, leaving Boeing the world's largest plane manufacturer for the third year running.
Earlier on Thursday, British Airways owner IAG said it had firmed up orders for eight A350-900 and three A330-200 long-haul aircraft for its Spanish carrier, Iberia. It also signed firm orders for 20 A320neo jets for which it had options.

When I was little my mother gave me a fork. It was an antique fork. She told me to only eat pork with this fork. But I'm a vegetarian. So I gave the fork to this friend of mine who I knew loved to eat bacon. This friend put bacon on everything, including non-food things like the dashboard of her car and bacon bits sprinkled onto wildflowers that grew on the fence in her backyard. She loved the smell of bacon and it wanted to smell it as often as possible. I told this friend that she can only use this fork to eat pork. And the friend thanked me very much. She said thank you for this pork fork, friend. I still think about this friend and wonder if she's using the fork to eat pork. Who knows.

        width:0;
    }

    #navBarStyle
    {
        margin-top:.5%;
    }

}

Not totally sure what the problem is, I read it might be a problem with bootstrap itself. Here is my jsfid https://jsfiddle.net/marvstah/tLzorkdg/1/
IMPORTANT, it works fine on all sizes less the 768 but not on 768

A: Change your media-query max-width to 767px.
Since you are using bootstrap. Botstrap.css has some media-query on 767px. it overwriting yours.
Here is the working Demo

@media screen and (max-width: 767px)
{

    .side-collapse-container
    {
        width:100%;
        position:relative;
        right:0;
        transition:left .4s;
    }

    .side-collapse-container.out
    {
        right:200px;
    }

    .side-collapse
    {
        top:50px;
        bottom:0;
        right:0;
        width:200px;
        position:fixed;
        overflow:hidden;
        transition:width .4s;
    }

    .side-collapse.in
    {
        width:0;
    }

    #navBarStyle
    {
        margin-top:.5%;
    }

}

A: just curious, did it ever get solved for you? I am experiencing same issue but on 767px. My viewport works fine on 767px and 768px, but breaks horribly on 767px.
To my observation, however, max-width: 767px does not include 767px. but on min-width / max-width: 768px both includes 768px! I am pulling my hair...

A: We need not use all that styling. Anyways we have bootstrap in, so we can use a basic Bootstrap Nav rit?

Q: Invalid Column Name When Group By Nested Select I have the following code, when I run it as is it will return to me the data I would like:
select tagid,
  (select TOP 1 Locations.CostCenter
  from item
  inner join transactions on transactions.itemid = item.id
  inner join recvlocationmapping on recvlocationid = transactions.locationid
  left outer join locations on locations.id = servicelocationid
  where tagid = c.TagID
  and costcenter != ''
  and Costcenter is not null
  order by transdate desc) as CostCenter
from item as c where createddate between '07-01-2012' and '07-05-2012'

The problem comes when I want to add a group by to one of the columns. It then throws a error saying the column doesn't exist, but when I run the query without the Group By the column and name exist.
Here is the group by code that I'm having issues with:
select Count(tagid),
  (select TOP 1 Locations.CostCenter
  from item
  inner join transactions on transactions.itemid = item.id
  inner join recvlocationmapping on recvlocationid = transactions.locationid
  left outer join locations on locations.id = servicelocationid
  where tagid = c.TagID
  and costcenter != ''
  and Costcenter is not null
  order by transdate desc) as CostCenter
from item as c where createddate between '07-01-2012' and '07-05-2012'
group by CostCenter

I think it's an issue with how I'm returning the data, but I don't know enough about SQL to figure out how to fix it.

A: Aliases declared in select ... part cannot be used in group by. You either have to duplicate nested select in group by or use something like this:
select Count(q.tagid), q.CostCenter
from
    (select
       tagid,
       (select TOP 1 Locations.CostCenter
           from item
           inner join transactions on transactions.itemid = item.id
           inner join recvlocationmapping on recvlocationid = transactions.locationid
           left outer join locations on locations.id = servicelocationid
           where tagid = c.TagID
           and costcenter != ''
           and Costcenter is not null
           order by transdate desc
       ) as CostCenter
       from item as c where createddate between '07-01-2012' and '07-05-2012'
    ) q
group by q.CostCenter

A: You can make use of the T-SQL APPLY functionality here, it is similar to the correlated subquery you have used but can be referenced multiple times without repeating the same code, and can also return multiple columns/rows if required.
SELECT  COUNT(tagid),
        CostCenter
FROM    item as c
        OUTER APPLY
        (   SELECT  TOP 1 Locations.CostCenter
            FROM    item
                    INNER JOIN transactions
                        ON transactions.itemid = item.id
                    INNER JOIN recvlocationmapping
                        ON recvlocationid = transactions.locationid
                    INNER JOIN locations
                        ON locations.id = servicelocationid
            WHERE   tagid = c.TagID
            AND     costcenter != ''
            ORDER BY transdate DESC
        ) AS CostCenter
WHERE   createddate BETWEEN '07-01-2012' AND '07-05-2012'
GROUP BY CostCenter

I've also touched up a couple of things on your subquery, I changed the LEFT JOIN on locations to an INNER JOIN since you had AND CostCenter IS NOT NULL therefore a LEFT JOIN was not required and INNER JOINs will perform better. Secondly AND CostCenter IS NOT NULL was redundant following AND CostCenter != '' because NULL != ''
EDIT
Upon further thought I think you can remove the correlated subqueries from it completely and get the same result using JOINS. This should result in more efficient execution:
;WITH CostCenter AS
(   SELECT  TagID, CostCenter, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY TagID ORDER BY TransDate DESC) AS RowNumber
    FROM    item
            INNER JOIN transactions
                ON transactions.itemid = item.id
            INNER JOIN recvlocationmapping
                ON recvlocationid = transactions.locationid
            INNER JOIN locations
                ON locations.id = servicelocationid
    WHERE   costcenter != ''
)
SELECT  COUNT(TagID), CostCenter
FROM    Item
        INNER JOIN CostCenter
            ON Item.TagID = CostCenter.TagID
            AND RowNumber = 1
WHERE   createddate BETWEEN '07-01-2012' AND '07-05-2012'
GROUP BY CostCenter


Hello Salty Runners! I'm so excited to be a part of this awesome group of runners (and writers)! I am a 23 year old Bostonian and soon-to-be grad student of Public Health.
I started running in middle school, going for short runs with my dad and doing some 5ks. When I got to high school, cross country seemed like a good way to meet some nice people. My enthusiasm for running and desire to improve increased steadily.
The summer after 9th grade I decided I wanted to get a ton faster. I looked at results from my team for the past few years and found an older teammate who improved the most between freshman and sophomore year in cross country. She said she ran 300 miles that summer, so I ran 350.
The summer after that, sensing that 50 miles per week wouldn't cut it anymore for me, I upped it to 60-70. By 12th grade I was extremely anemic and having zero fun running. After a brief stint on the wrestling team and a terrible track season, I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue running on a team in college. A high school teammate and friend was on the team at my college so, partially out of a sense of social necessity, I decided to give it a try, figuring I could quit after the cross country season ended in a couple of months.
Of course, three days in I was hooked, in love with the team and more excited by the sport than I'd felt maybe ever.
Hello, Salty runners! I'm Cayenne, a spicy addition to the Salty Running Team. I am excited to join these amazing women as I share my perspectives on all things running!
I am a classical musician for a living and, travel a lot to perform with various orchestras. My current schedule has me based in the Midwest, performing with orchestras in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Indiana. To put it simply, my life has been anything but predictable. Throughout the past 15 years, I have lived in six states as well as a foreign country.
Because my professional life can be so unstable, I find stability in running. Running is something I can do anywhere. Sometimes that requires crashing local running groups wherever I'm traveling, or running on a beat-up treadmill in a hotel fitness center.
Hello Salty readers! I'm Olive, a Maryland native who's been living in San Antonio, Texas for the past 10 years. I'm married with two girls and I'm a former elementary school teacher currently teaching group fitness classes and Lifetime Fitness when I'm not chasing after my kids.
For the majority of my life I was decidedly not a runner. A chubby, insecure kid with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, I was cut from various sports teams for being "too slow." Eventually, I joined the swim team and swam through college, but only because there were no cuts from the team. Even though I ran two or three miles a few times a week to stay in shape, by the time I graduated college I had come to terms with the fact that I was not meant to be an athlete.

A fontbake is a celebration of the creative process and entropic collaboration — all bundled up in an OpenType font.
Fontbake began as a creative experiment at our design studio. We invited a group of friends and asked each of them to draw a letter however they pleased — the more quirky and offbeat the better. Our staff quickly compiled the drawings into a communal art-font and gave a copy to each contributor. It was a great experience, full of creative surprises.
Since that first meetup we've had the opportunity to bake fonts with arts organizations and design clubs, colleges and corporations. Although each font is wildly unique, the process is invariably fun.
Fontbakes are all about creative discovery and playful collaboration. They are an alphabetic reminder of how interconnected we all are, how expressive and resilient letters can be, and how fun it is to just doodle in a pre-k kind of way.
Fontbakes have been conducted as on-site sessions so far, but we're working on remote options. Contact us if you'd like to participate in a future Fontbake. We'll be happy to get you set up.
1. Draw like your six-year-old self. Forget about judgement and so-called perfection. Focus on spontaneity and experimentation. It's process-over-product with a Fontbake. If you feel like you've made a mistake, try changing your perspective to incorporate — if not glorify — the mistake. Befriend the unexpected.
2. Not sure how to start a drawing? That's not a problem, that's creative freedom! Just think about Paul Klee's quote: "Drawing is taking a line for a walk", and walk.
3. Strive for legibility. It's great when your letter is super creative and expressive, but it's best if it isn't mistaken for a different letter or just an illustration.
4. Be bold! Avoid delicate line-work or fussy details. The line you get from an original Sharpie is as thin as you want to get. For that matter, Fontbake letters generally work best when they are chunky rather than wispy.
5. Use a black or very dark marker. Avoid pencils, ball-point pens and crayons.
6. Do-overs are not usually encouraged, but they are of course allowable. If you're really not happy with your first drawing, or get a better idea along the way, go ahead and try a second one. Just remember to stay loose.
7. Keep your drawings family-friendly. Fontbakes are intended for participants and viewers of all ages, but we especially want to think about the kids. Anything we deem inappropriate will not be included.
1. Baked fonts are the collective property of their contributors. That is to say, each piece of letter art belongs to its respective creator, and the whole font belongs communally to everyone who participated in its creation. PSY/OPS, as the originator and organizer of Fontbakes, makes no ownership or copyright claim on the individual artwork elements included in the fonts it compiles.
2. Each baked font font may only be used by the individuals who contributed directly to it, and that use is limited to personal projects. Using baked fonts in commercial or revenue-generating projects is not permitted. Contact us if you have any questions concerning commercial use of Fontbake fonts.
3. Fontbake fonts may not be distributed, either for free or for profit. Distribution includes but is not limited to sharing, transferring, posting for download.
4. PSY/OPS reserves the right to modify letter art once submitted in order to improve scale, legibility and other compositional attributes.
5. Fontbake fonts may not be modified, adapted, converted, translated, reverse engineered, decompiled, disassembled, altered or otherwise copied without prior written authorization from PSY/OPS.
6. PSY/OPS shall in no event be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential, or incidental damages arising out of the use or inability to use Fontbake fonts, even if notified in advance. Under no circumstances shall PSY/OPS' liability exceed the replacement cost of the software.

Scarlett inspires Cacharel
July 07, 2009 Rope Comments are off News & Rumors
Beautiful Hollywood actress, Scarlett Johansson seems to be inspiring to a lot of people lately. First, she inspired Kate Perry's song I Kissed a Girl, then she inspired Dolce & Gabbana's make up-line, moved the world with her inspiring message for Rwanda, and now, she's inspired Cacharel to launch a new fragrance.
With the catchy phrase, "Mon secret est à l'intérieur," which is French for "My secret is on the inside!" Cacharel is taking a journey back to their roots with their newest feminine fragrance.
The new fragrance, Scarlett, is set to be launched in July by the French fashion and fragrance houe, Cacharel. This new scent is targeted towards young women, aged 15 to 25 years old.
The new perfume's components include jasmine, orange blossom, honeysuckle, citruses, tea leaves, pear, white musks and sandalwood. Made by famous perfumers Honorine Blanc, Alberto Morillas and Olivier Cresp, it is being touted as "romantic, fresh, and daring."
Past Cacharel models and inspirations include Laetitia Casta with the fragrance, Promese, Kate Moss and her fragrance, Anais Anais, and Gisele Bundchen with Liberté. All of the mentioned celebrities have actively participated in their respective fragrances' ad campaigns.
However, it isn't yet clear whether the company can get Scarlett to participate in the ad campaigns due to her increasingly busy schedule. From the images of Scarlett advertisements on the internet, it looks like they went with a young and pretty model to stand as a mannequin carrying the perfume.

EPL: Wenger explains why Alexis Sanchez is struggling at Manchester United
Former Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has explained why forward, Alexis Sanchez is struggling at Manchester United.
Sanchez has struggled to hit top form since his arrival from Arsenal in the January transfer window.
The Chilean international was unhappy with manager, Jose Mourinho, after he was dropped earlier this season and reports claimed few weeks ago that the 29-year-old is considering leaving Old Trafford.
Wenger, who coached Sanchez during his time at Emirates, believes the forward has lost his confidence and that is affecting his performance for United.
Speaking on Sanchez's form at United, Wenger told beIN Sports: "I believe he has lost confidence.
"The strength of Alexis Sanchez is to take initiative to dribble and to take people on.
"Those are the players who are most vulnerable when they lose confidence their game is based on that and having that feeling to take initiative, he has lost that slowly."
Sanchez impressed for the Red Devils when he started for his side's 2-1 win over Juventus in the Champions League encounter on Wednesday night.
He will hope to feature for United when they tackle Manchester City this weekend in the Premier League derby clash.

A pogrom is declared
ATFP World Press Roundup Article from The Economist
A VAUNTED "fight unto death" by Jewish militants holed up in a disputed building in Hebron, a city on the Palestinian West Bank that is venerated by both Jews and Muslims, ended in their quick and relatively easy eviction by Israeli police on December 4th. But the Israeli police and army failed to prevent a subsequent splurge of violence against Palestinians in the city and elsewhere in the West Bank, which Israel's outgoing prime minister, Ehud Olmert, termed a "pogrom". A Jewish settler was filmed shooting and wounding two local Palestinians.
Bibi's Blunders
ATFP World Press Roundup Article from The New Republic

In October, when Tzipi Livni, who had won the race to succeed outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert as head of Israel's ruling Kadima Party, announced that she was unable to form a governing coalition, you could almost hear the groans coming from across the Atlantic and from European capitals. The reason? Livni's failure to assemble a government means new elections will take place in February.
Settler Scourge
ATFP World Press Roundup Article from Israel Policy Forum
by M.J.	Rosenberg - December 12, 2008 - 12:00am
The Chicago Tribune reported this week that President-elect Barack Obama intends to visit the Middle East very early in his term, perhaps within his first month as President. He will visit an Arab capital and deliver an address to the Arab world stating his determination to fight global terrorism and establish Middle East peace. In general, I like the idea although—given the security situation in the region— I'd rather have our President stay out of the Middle East and deliver the address from the Oval Office.
Abbas, Bush to hold 'farewell' meeting
ATFP World Press Roundup Article from The Associated Press
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will travel to Washington for a "farewell" meeting with President Bush, a Palestinian official said Friday, as impending leadership changes raise questions about the future of peace talks. The Palestinian leader will meet Bush at the White House on Dec. 19, Abbas aide Saeb Erekat said. The two will discuss peace negotiations with Israel, he said, but "it will also be a farewell meeting between the two men."
Arabs urge Obama to focus on Mideast
ATFP World Press Roundup Article from Agence France Presse (AFP)
The Arab League has urged US president-elect Barack Obama to focus on resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict after he takes office in January, spokesman Hisham Yussef said on Thursday. The 22-member pan-Arab institution detailed its vision for an end to the decades-old conflict in a letter signed by Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al Faisal and delivered to Obama via an aide, Yussef told AFP. "The letter explains our stance on the conflict, focusing on the Arab peace proposal," he said.
State to court: Rescind release of settler who shot Hebron Palestinians
by Tomer Zarchin - December 12, 2008 - 12:00am
The state petitioned the Supreme Court on Friday to rescind the release to house arrest of a West Bank settler caught on film allegedly shooting two Palestinians in Hebron last week. The state prosecution argued that Ze'ev Braude, who allegedly shot the Palestinians during the evacuation of Hebron's so-called House of Contention, should not be freed on the grounds that he posed a threat to the general public. On Thursday, a judge at Jerusalem District Court Thursday tightened conditions for Braude's release, confining him to full house arrest.
Amira Hass returns to Gaza after a two-year absence
by Amira	Hass - December 12, 2008 - 12:00am
The first thing that captures your eyes, after two years away, is a visual quiet. Gone are the flags of every color (including green) that once flew everywhere; the billboards commemorating shaheeds with their weapons, new ones popping up nearly every day; the large banners emblazoned with slogans. Yes, here and there you still come across a tattered flag or faded sign, old graffiti on the walls, or a smiling Arafat beaming down from a giant poster that no one took the trouble to remove, the colors dulled by time.
Two Qassams hit Negev, days before Gaza cease-fire set to end
Gaza militants fired two Qassam rockets into the Western Negev on Friday, a few days before Israel's truce with Hamas was set to come to an end next week. The rockets stuck open areas and caused neither damage nor casualties. On Wednesday, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met with Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni on Wednesday to discuss the future of Israel's policy on the Gaza Strip. Just hours before the meeting, a Qassam rocket struck the western Negev, following a two-day lull in fire from Gaza.

Men's Worlds
"Dark Blue" and "All the Real Girls."
Unless I'm missing something, the latest Ron Shelton picture, "Dark Blue," appears to have absolutely nothing to do with sports. What's going on here? This is the gentleman who is best known for "Bull Durham," "White Men Can't Jump," "Cobb," and "Tin Cup," which challenged the global audience with a daring combination of Kevin Costner and golf. That still leaves many sports that have yet to get the Shelton treatment, and I was looking forward to a tale of limpid love from the dewy world of the N.F.L., or, at the other extreme, a brutish exposé of the hell that is interstate croquet. Instead, we get "Dark Blue," which starts with footage of the Rodney King assault in 1991, and ends a year later with looting and riots.
Caught in the eye of the storm is Eldon Perry (Kurt Russell), a veteran of the Special Investigations Squad of the L.A.P.D., although you wonder whether he, like others of his thunderous kind on the force, caused the storm to roll in the first place. Perry may not be primarily a racist, but racism is certainly second nature to him, the disdain seeping from him like sweat. As he points out, he couldn't care less if his young partner, Bobby Keough (Scott Speedman), is "dating a sister," but the cops' first concern is to keep the streets clean, and if that means treating black Angelenos like dirt, so be it. The film proposes that Bobby is already infected with the older man's toxic attitude—with passive prejudice, as it were, the sort that you inhale like smoke. This would make perfect sense were it not for the demeanor of Scott Speedman, who looks so angelic that it's hard to imagine him catching anything worse than a dose of chicken pox.
Moving up the ladder, we come to Jack Van Meter (Brendan Gleeson), Perry's boss, who has the suet face of a drinker and a bad case of missing morals. He is heavily on the take, using snitches to do his dirty work, and if you place him next to Assistant Chief Holland (Ving Rhames), the comparison makes you wince. On the one hand, a brawny Irish bigot; on the other, a senior black officer so intent on purifying the force that he even preaches his mission to applauding worshippers in church. Dramatically, this is too lumpen to be of much use, and not until the final minutes are we released from the finger-wagging ethic that Shelton and his screenwriter, David Ayer, apply to the entire picture: white men can't tell the truth.
All of which is a disappointment, because this picture has so much going for it. For one thing, it began life as a short story by James Ellroy. In 1997, when Ellroy was transferred to cinema screens, we got "L.A. Confidential," which looks more driven than ever, and which shares many of the concerns that ignite "Dark Blue." Bobby Keough is as daunted by the example of his father, a career cop, as the Guy Pearce character was in the earlier film, and Jack Van Meter is a clear, if pudgy, update on Dudley Smith, the bent boss who was played with such steel-tipped benevolence by James Cromwell. Not until Smith pulled a gun and shot one of his own men, however, was his villainy unmasked (and, to those watching, it was like a kick in the shins), whereas Van Meter reveals his rottenness in the first reel. In short, "Dark Blue" suffers from a problem that, however niggling, is likely to hobble any thriller: no thrills.
We sense this shortfall, I think, in the earliest scenes, as Eldon Perry stands close to tears in the lovely environs of a motel room. Kurt Russell has let himself go, for this picture, in some style—his handsomeness spreading into gluey middle age, those thin eyes sunken and dulled. Gone is the mean, punky rigor that sustained him in his great days with John Carpenter and allowed him, when playing Snake Plissken in "Escape from New York," to become the first leading man since John Wayne to wear an eye patch without looking like a dork. You could claim that, when Russell took on that oily pink alien in "The Thing," he was merely in training for his battles with Brendan Gleeson in "Dark Blue," but the main change is that Perry's most consuming battle is with himself. Sensitive audiences may lament Hollywood's addiction to action movies, as if action were now the only thing on view; more troubling, though, is what happens when the action has to stop. In "L.A. Confidential," the characters' feelings bounced and barrelled along in the slipstream of the plot; in "Dark Blue," the poor plot has to wait, hanging fire, while the characters clock in for psychological duty. It should be called "L.A. Confessional."
Everything comes to a boil when Perry, who has been upped to the rank of lieutenant, uses the promotion ceremony to set loose his demons and lash the system that bred them. (He is roundly rebuked for grandstanding by Van Meter, who, you must admit, has a point.) Much more gripping are the scenes through which Perry has to drive in order to make that speech: a dusty meltdown of South Central, just after the announcement of the Rodney King verdict, as the citizens eviscerate their own town. Shelton pitches the tone just right, filling the screen not with organized mobs but with knots of people, stragglers fastening on anything and anybody against which to vent their wrath. So charged were those few days, and so inherently dramatic were the convulsions of political disquiet, that it seems crazy—almost a dereliction of duty—for filmmakers to have ignored them, and all credit to Ron Shelton for wanting to dive back into the fray. But I wish that the director had swerved aside from the police (who were, after all, only half of the equation) and investigated the lives and grievances of those who were finally tempted into rampage. As it is, we see them wandering like aimless ghosts, unnamed and unappeased, bearing their booty—a violin, a television, sacks of food. One guy even hauls a set of stolen golf clubs. At last, the Shelton touch.
The hero of "All the Real Girls" is Paul (Paul Schneider), who at the age of twenty-two has already cut a swath through his home town in North Carolina. Paul has apparently slept with twenty-six women. What, you may ask, is his secret? Is it the chunky, radish-red car that he borrows from his mom (Patricia Clarkson), and that is reputed to run faster if you put mothballs in the tank? Could it be the flourish with which he orders in restaurants ("I want something greasy")? It cannot be his artistry in bed; when we finally catch him in action, the expression on the face of the girl underneath him suggests that she would rather be doing something truly arousing, like brushing her teeth.
The lucky girl is Noel (Zooey Deschanel), the sister of Paul's friend Tip (Shea Whigham). For the first time in his life, Paul has fallen solidly in love, only to be concussed by the news that Noel has slept with someone else. The director, David Gordon Green, who co-wrote the screenplay with his leading man, presents this as a profound change of course in Paul's small-hearted existence, from which we all have much to learn. From another point of view, what we see is a disloyal dickhead getting a taste of his own medicine. "I wish I could read your mind," Noel says to him, not realizing that it would take about as long to read as the side of a pencil.
There is, of course, an honorable tradition of the inarticulate man lunging at emotions that he does not comprehend. As you watch Paul punctuate the simple phrase "I care about you" with a cadenza of nervous coughs, or listen to the baroque belching and spitting of his comrades, you realize that they are meant to be third-generation Stanley Kowalskis, and the film does reproduce the odd blending of the coarse and the lyrical that hung around Brando and all his works. (Noel: "In the wintertime, I like the sound of water." Paul: "It makes me pee.") Sadly, the men here come across as whiny and infantile, and Green is dangerously keen to stress their retardation, allowing Tip to reveal that he still sucks his thumb and wets the bed. No wonder the women are so exasperated—why doesn't Noel just scrape the guys from her shoes and move on? Zooey Deschanel is by far the best thing in the movie, switching at will between the plain and the radiant. The camera can't decide which it loves more, the folds of the Carolina hills or closeups of Noel's face, and the narrative climax comes when, without warning, she decides to get a new haircut. If you just can't stomach that level of excitement in a movie, I quite understand. ♦

'Anti-people, anti-poor': Mamata Banerjee wants to work with CPI(M) after BJP's demonetisation call
The West Bengal chief minister said all parties should oppose the Centre for the scheme.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday said she was willing join forces with all Opposition parties to take the Centre on against its demonetisation scheme. The Trinamool Congress said she was even willing to work with bitter rival Communist Party of India (Marxist), she said at a press conference at the State Secretariat. Banerjee has rarely ever seen eye-to-eye with the CPI(M) before.
Banerjee said the Bharatiya Janata Party's move to do away with Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes overnight was "anti-people and anti-poor". "This government has no moral right to continue in power," she added.
On Tuesday, Banerjee had called the BJP's scheme a "draconian decision". She said she was deeply concerned about how the move will affect small traders and farmers, even though she was "strongly against black money". "How will they buy essentials?", she had said.
The Centre's move has drawn opposition from nearly every political front, from the Congress to the Samajwadi Party and the Aam Aadmi Party. AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday had called for the scheme to be withdrawn immediately, saying it was a scam and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "friends" had been informed of the drive in advance.
The BJP, however, has held firm, claiming the long-term benefits of the move outweigh the immediate inconvenience, and said other parties were irresponsible for opposing it. The BJP claims the demonetisation of the notes, which made up 86% of the cash flowing through the country, would help tackle the problems of black money and counterfeit currency.
