I just returned from a week-long trip to visit family out West. Minus some road trip food poisoning and a summer cold swooping in at the tail end of the trip, it was a perfect trip. I see my parents and siblings only once or twice a year so the occasion rings of warm rekindling and extra fervent loving. Every late night conversation, stolen hug, and witty tease means so much more because I know, I know, that these are the only moments we'll have for months to come. This trip was extra special as one of my older sisters, Shirsti, and I are both expecting, she a girl and me another boy — and due only two weeks apart in November. Can you believe that? We have experienced our pregnancies in tandem via texting and apps, but is there really a replacement for seeing someone you love in the flesh?
Do you have a sister — or lucky you — even more than one sister? Do you think your life would have been different had you not had sisters? (Or had sisters?) I am so lucky to have three exceptional sisters by blood, and three sister-in-laws by love. They enrich and beautify my life. (And make me laugh harder than anybody else in the world.)

There are many people available to support you should you encounter health or other personal difficulties.
Who to contact
In College, those available to talk about personal difficulties include: the College Nurse, the Academic Registrar, the Senior Tutor, the Principal, your College Adviser, the College Accountant, Junior Deans and members of the MCR Committee and Somerville Peer Support team. Details will be available when you arrive. The University Counselling Service, open to all students, is just round the corner from Somerville. Visit its website at http://www.ox.ac.uk/students/welfare/counselling. The Oxford University Student Union (OUSU) also offers welfare services, and there is a student-run telephone and drop-in listening service called Nightline which operates during term-time. The OUSU website is at www.ousu.org.
General medical care
You will be eligible to seek some medical care from the National Health Service (NHS), the State-run service covering all aspects of health. Depending on your residency status, you may not be eligible to access all services provided by the NHS. Information on the NHS is available at http://www.nhs.uk/aboutnhs. If you have health or medical concerns, your first port of call will probably be your General Practitioner, usually known as your GP. GPs are general doctors who deal with most medical matters in the first instance. They often work within a practice, which is an organisation comprising a number of doctors (often up to around 10), and usually other health professionals such as nurses. A practice usually has its own premises, often called a surgery or health centre. Somerville is linked with the Jericho Health Centre, a GP practice very close to the College. We have two College Doctors, Dr Helen Steel and Dr Evelyn Sanderson, who work at that practice. A College Nurse also holds consulting sessions at Somerville. There are also a number of other doctors and health professionals at the Jericho Health Centre, and any of them may see students. The Centre's website is at http://www.gpjerichotwo.co.uk. The doctors at the Jericho Health Centre may be seen by appointment or without an appointment in an emergency, but please phone first, or they may also be able to visit very ill patients in College. You must register with a GP in Oxford, as a permanent patient and for the duration of your course. If you already have a GP at home, you may remain registered with them as a temporary resident in case you require treatment when you are at home. Most students register with the College Doctor. You will be able to do so at Somerville during freshers' week or you may visit the practice to register:
Jericho Health Centre
New Radcliffe House
Walton Street
Tel: +44 (0)1865 429993
There are three forms to download and print regarding registration with the College Doctor. Fill these in, and send them in hard copy to the Academic Office at Somerville, to arrive no later than Friday 2nd September 2016. If you choose not to register with the College Doctor, it is a requirement that you inform the Academic Office of the name and contact numbers of the practice with which you are registered so that appropriate action may be taken in an emergency. Absolute confidentiality is observed by doctors except when the student may him or herself give permission for someone else to be consulted or informed, or very rarely if there is a problem that poses serious risk to the student or to others. If your academic work is interrupted at any time by health problems, it is vital that your College Adviser and the Tutor for Graduates be informed.
Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS)
For anyone coming to the UK for more than six months an IHS is paid as part of a Tier 4 and other visa applications, including student dependants. The IHS must be paid even if you have your own private medical insurance and do not intend to use the NHS.
The IHS is £150 for each year or part year over six months of the visa being applied for, plus £75 for part of a year that is less than six months. If a student (or a dependant) is making a visa application in the UK, they will be required to pay the health surcharge even if the period applied for is less than six months. Students who already have a visa will be covered as normal for NHS treatment unless and until they need to make a further visa application.
Full details of how charging (and refunds) are administered are available on the Home Office website (https://www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigration-application)
First aid
Several members and employees of the College are qualified to administer first aid. Please contact the Porters' Lodge in the first instance to call for assistance. You are requested to report any illness of more than 48 hours' duration to the Bursary or to the College Nurse.
Dental treatment
The College has agreed limited dental cover with:
David Le Tocq
31 Beaumont Street
Tel: +44 (0)1865 557 507
This agreement will only provide for emergency treatment at a special rate for students, which is on a par with NHS rates. All other dental work provided by Dr Le Tocq will be at the request of individuals, who will be fully liable for all costs at private rates. Students who are already registered with an NHS dentist are therefore urged to retain that registration, and to undergo dental treatment at their home surgery during vacation periods. There is also a Studental dental practice based at Oxford Brookes University which takes NHS patients. Further details can be obtained from the practice's website at http://www.studental.co.uk.
Hospital treatment
Under current regulations of the National Health Service (NHS), anyone coming to the UK to pursue a full-time course of study of more than six months' duration will be fully entitled to free NHS hospital treatment in England. This also applies to spouses and children under the age of 16, or 19 if in further education if they are living permanently with you in the UK for the duration of your course. Individual hospitals are responsible for deciding whether a patient is entitled to free treatment or not, in accordance with the relevant regulations. In order to establish entitlement, hospitals can ask you to provide documentation that supports your claim that you are studying in the UK.
Students with disabilities, long-term health conditions and SpLDs
The College and University can provide guidance and support in many areas to enable students with disabilities and long-term health conditions to make the most of their time at the University. If you have a disability or long-term health condition, and would find it helpful to have particular kinds of support or facilities during your time in Oxford, do contact us to talk about this. The Academic Registrar is the Student Disability Co-ordinator at Somerville. You can email her on email@example.com. She is also in close contact with the University's Disability Advisory Service. Visit the Service's website at http://www.ox.ac.uk/students/welfare/disability. We can best support you if we are aware of your needs well in advance of your arrival in Oxford. Please rest assured that we will treat any information with sensitivity, and that it will be used only to assist in providing you with a positive experience.
Exam arrangements
If you will be taking exams during your course, and need particular exam arrangements due to a disability or long-term health condition, please contact us as soon as possible to discuss these. If you have dyslexia, dyspraxia, or another Specific Learning Difficulty (SpLD), you will need a valid Educational Psychologist's report on your condition in order to apply for exam arrangements such as extra writing time. A report written when you were younger may not be valid to apply for University exam arrangements, so you may need a new psychologist's assessment. The University's Disability Advisory Service can help to arrange assessments. If you have another condition which leads to the need for particular exam arrangements, you will need to provide medical documentation of your condition in order to apply for arrangements. If you have not sent Somerville or the Disability Advisory Service relevant documentation in advance of your arrival at Somerville, please bring it with you when you come to College, so that we can put exam arrangements in place for you as quickly as possible.
Cycling safety
Cycling in Oxford is a very good idea as it's often the fastest way of getting round the city and research has shown that the more people cycle, the safer it becomes. If you're not used to cycling in traffic there are some important things you need to know to keep yourself safe. The most important thing to remember about cycling is that the laws about riding a bike and drink-cycling are more like the laws for cars than people think.
- Get the right equipment. The absolute minimums are a mechanically safe bike that fits you, front and rear lights, rear reflector and a good quality lock. Most experienced Oxford cyclists also decide, after a few near misses, to wear a helmet although if you do decide to wear one make sure it is fitted correctly, and something high-visibility and reflective, particularly at night
- Register your bike. Theft of bicycles is very common in Oxford. A bicycle registration number will increase the chances of your bike being returned if stolen. Cycle registration packs are available in your College and from the University Security Services (tel +44 (0)1865 272944).
- Improve your urban cycling skills. See details of cycle training at http://www.ctc.org.uk.
- Make sure you are mentally prepared. Never cycle after drinking alcohol as the same rules and limits apply for people in charge of bikes and cars. Read the Highway Code. The laws about how and where you can ride a bike are more like the laws for cars than people think. See http://www.gov.uk/rules-for-cyclists-59-to-82 for more information.
- Whilst on your bike ride in a good visible position. At least a car door distance from parked cars, not weaving into gaps as you disappear. Get good eye contact with other road users to be sure that they have seen you. At junctions, either make sure you can get to the front of the traffic and be visible, or remain in your place in the queue in the centre of the lane. Get into the habit of only overtaking on the right hand side. One of the most common causes of accidents is collision with left turning vehicles.
- If things go wrong. If you are involved in an accident, make sure that you get professional help either at the John Radcliffe Hospital (tel +44 (0)1865 741166) or from the College Nurse or Doctor. To report a stolen bike contact the local Police station (tel 101) and also, if your bike is registered, the University Security Services (tel +44 (0)1865 272944).
There are bicycle racks within the College grounds where you can store your bicycle. You must register your bike at the Somerville Porters' Lodge. Bicycles should be left, and locked, in bicycle racks and not left in the traffic entrance, or in rooms or common areas.
Personal security
Safety and well-being are taken very seriously at Oxford. Advice on personal and property crime prevention, staying safe on nights out and who to contact in an emergency is available on the Oxford Students website. In particular, you are reminded to:
- Register personal possessions that have serial numbers such as laptops, mobile phone and cameras on Immobilise, the National Property Register.
- Put laptops in a locked drawer when they are not being used, even if you just leave the room briefly, particularly if your room is on the ground floor and your desk is near an open window.
- Back up work on a USB stick which is kept in a separate location, or use a cloud-based storage facility such as DropBox, Microsoft Cloud or iCloud.
- Consider using a tracking service in case any of your devices are stolen, such as Prey Project.
Security Services can be reached 24 hours a day at 01865 (2)72944 or (2)89999 in an emergency. Incidents can also be reported online on the Security Services website (https://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/ouss).

ok thanks Tom I will alter the statistics and re-analyze the table. Tim Jones Healthcare Project Manager Optio Software, Inc. (770) 576-3555 -----Original Message----- From: Tom Lane [mailto:tgl(at)sss(dot)pgh(dot)pa(dot)us] Sent: Thursday, December 14, 2006 12:49 PM To: Tim Jones Cc: pgsql-performance(at)postgresql(dot)org Subject: Re: [PERFORM] strange query behavior "Tim Jones" <TJones(at)optio(dot)com> writes: > 18,273,008 rows in observationresults > [ and n_distinct = 12942 ] OK, so the estimated rowcounts are coming from those two numbers. It's notoriously hard to get a decent n_distinct estimate from a small sample :-(, and I would imagine the number of batteryidentifiers is really a lot more than 12942? What you need to do is increase the statistics target for observationresults.batteryidentifier (see ALTER TABLE) and re-ANALYZE and see if you get a saner n_distinct in pg_stats. I'd try 100 and then 1000 as target. Or you could just increase the global default target (see postgresql.conf) but that might be overkill. It's still a bit odd that the case with two batteryidentifiers was estimated fairly accurately when the other wasn't; I'll go look into that. But in any case you need better stats if you want good plans. regards, tom lane

Survivor's Play Bears Witness to the Holocaust
By FELICIA R. LEE
Published: August 10, 2006
When Zuzana Justman was 12 years old, she began keeping a tiny green leather diary, whose faded pages she has in recent years begun to translate into English. It documents her life as a prisoner in the Terezin concentration camp, near Prague, where she was sent with her family in 1943.
From there, her father was shipped off to his death in an Auschwitz gas chamber, while she, her 16-year-old brother and her mother managed to survive, though her brother contracted tuberculosis and polio.
''Almost everyone who has lived through the Holocaust feels an obligation to tell their story,'' Ms. Justman said in an interview in her sunny Upper West Side apartment. ''Now we are part of the last generation that lived through it,'' she said, and she is determined to keep their voices vibrant.
Her determination led Ms. Justman, 75, to bring ''The Unlucky Man in the Yellow Cap,'' her brother J. R. Pick's 1982 play about life in Terezin, to an unlikely setting: the huge experimental New York International Fringe Festival, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.
''Unlucky Man,'' a play with music, is set in 1944, and its two main characters are lovers: 19-year-old Lucy, a singer, and Norbert, a Terezin policeman. They are among a group of prisoners who put on a cabaret, just before they learn that prisoners will begin to be transported to Auschwitz and other death camps. ''Unlucky Man'' shows how the prisoners tried to mount a resistance and to keep hope alive in the camp.
The play will have its American premiere tomorrow, more than 20 years after Mr. Pick's death and more than 60 years after the family's ordeal.
''It took him a long time to deal with the subject in his work,'' Ms. Justman said of her brother, known as Bobby or Jiri. ''It took me a long time as well,'' she said, referring to her efforts to get Mr. Pick's play produced and to publicly embrace what had happened to her. ''My college friends tell me I never mentioned what happened to me during the war.''
After the Russians liberated the camp in 1945, Ms. Justman and her mother moved to Buenos Aires. Eventually she attended Vassar College and Columbia and became a documentary filmmaker. Her brother remained in Prague and became a writer.
Ms. Justman's films (''Voices of the Children,'' and ''Terezin Diary'' among them) have focused on the lives of Jews and on human rights.
''I made films and let other people tell their stories,'' she said. ''It is painful and takes courage to tell these stories of suffering and humiliation.''
Ms. Justman has taken on a number of creative duties for ''Unlucky Man,'' which will have five performances: tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday and on Aug. 19 and Aug. 23, at the Henry Street Harry de Jur Playhouse at 466 Grand Street on the Lower East Side. She produced and adapted the play and helped translate the songs from Czech and write some new lyrics.
Peter Fish, an Emmy-winning composer, wrote the music, and the director is Marcy Arlin, an Obie winner. Alex Zucker, one of the lyricists, also helped with Ms. Justman's translation of the play, which was produced in Czechoslovakia in 1982.
The Fringe production originated in a chance meeting. In 2004 Ms. Justman met Sigmund R. Balka, a lawyer and art collector who is on the board of the Queens Museum of Art and was the chairman of the board of the Jewish Repertory Theater. Mr. Balka helped her put together a reading of the play in April 2005 at the Queens Museum, and another at the Jewish Community Center in Manhattan last November.
''The depiction of the camp was just something I found to be an unforgettable part of the degradation of Jewish life in the 20th century,'' Mr. Balka said of the play. ''It needed an artistic voice.''
Too many people have only a vague idea of what the Holocaust was, he said, adding that he hoped this new production of ''Unlucky Man'' would bring the subject to the attention of a new generation.
Ms. Justman's decision to apply to the Fringe was based on the enthusiasm of the audiences at the readings. She had no tapes of those performances, however, so she submitted ''Unlucky Man'' as part of a package that included pictures from a book on Terezin and a cover letter detailing her family's experience during World War II.
''I read it and immediately knew it was a story that needed to be told,'' said Elena K. Holy, the producing artistic director of the festival.
To prepare for their roles, the 11 cast members of ''Unlucky Man'' passed around copies of ''Voices of the Children,'' Ms. Justman's 80-minute documentary about three survivors of Terezin who were imprisoned as children. It won an Emmy in 1999 after being broadcast on PBS.
''Having Zuzana there is a little intimidating but also quite helpful in getting things right,'' said Erik Singer, the actor who plays Norbert, the Jewish ghetto policeman. She guided the cast members through many questions about her camp experience. (''Did the women wear lipstick? What did we eat?'')
Inevitably working on the play has reawakened Ms. Justman's memories of her brother. He was in poor health after the war, and most of his work was banned by the Czech Communist Party for 20 years.
Nonetheless, she said, he was optimistic, effervescent and prolific. He became known for writing books, plays and satirical sketches, poems and epigrams, including the semiautobiographical novel ''The Society for the Protection of Animals,'' based on his experiences in Terezin. Mr. Pick died in 1983 at 57.
''Bobby loved New York,'' Ms. Justman said. ''He would have loved to have seen me with all these people in their 20's, running around.''

Leonardo says Milan close to "no" on Fabiano
Luis Fabiano's move to AC Milan looks dead in the water after Rossoneri coach Leonardo said the club have all but given up on the transfer.
The Italian giants have been linked with Fabiano all summer, with a war of words erupting between both camps about the size of their offer to Sevilla.
Milan reportedly bid €14m but Sevilla are holding out for a fee nearer to Fabiano's release clause, which is an estimated €26m.
But it looks as though Fabiano will be plying his trade in La Liga again next season after the Milan boss said: "The moment has come to decided yes or no,'' Leonardo told Sky Italia. "And we are very close to no.
"We started with the idea to bring in a heavyweight forward such as (Edin) Dzeko or a real winger and at the moment the only who one can play on the wing is Ronaldinho. It's true that we haven't been reinforced, but I honestly believe that this squad can have a good season.''

One California beach town is fed up with the number of repeat offenders being caught driving while under the influence of alcohol. A town council member has proposed a directive that would – if passed – allow the city to place mugshots of these criminals on the city's public Facebook page. Drunk driving is a problematic issue in Huntington Beach. According to the Associated Press, 1,687 people were arrested in 2009 for drunk driving within the city's limits.
City residents have been complaining about the recent decision to stop posting police arrest information in the local newspaper. Councilman Devin Dwyer says that in his view, "posting this information is a reasonable step to take to enhance the safety of Huntington Beach residents and visitors." He feels that the "public shaming" on Facebook will serve as a deterrent, forcing people to hopefully think twice before getting behind the wheel after imbibing.
The police department isn't keen to back the proposal. They feel it could breed distrust and resentment among residents. A spokesperson for the department said the idea has "no value," arguing "law enforcement is not about public shaming." Many people disagree, though, as evidence by the sheer amount of local support this issue is raising.
What are your thoughts? Would you be in favor of placing the mug shots of people like this right on Facebook for all to see? Do you feel it would help cut down on the number of DUIs handed out?

At first, the news didn't feel right, didn't feel true: a rock god who rails against the bloat of America agreeing to centerpiece a fat-cat sports spectacle that's dubiously, unmistakably born in the U.S.A.
But tramps like us, we forgive, we forget, we flick our Bics to the sky and suck up the moment. That's also pretty darn American.
So I ask you: How AWESOME was Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's halftime set at Super Bowl XLIII on Sunday? Did you drop the guac and chicken wings when he dropped to the stage? Did you get up and boogie to the old-school shuffle of Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out, a groovy salute to his loyal band?
During the show, I was supposed to be on the sideline, somewhere warm and tan near the Arizona Cardinals cheerleaders. But I was sucked into the tsunami of volunteer "fans" rushing the stage. I was helpless to fight back, to take notes. I could only sing and hug and smile. I'm selfish that way.
In a news conference last week, the 59-year-old icon said the idea of playing the Super Bowl had always seemed like "a novelty." But the Boss had a change of heart. He had a new album coming out. He had a still-vital band.
So he took the gig. And though his country is going through tough times (or maybe because of that), the Blue-Collar Bard didn't use Sunday's show to preach or proselytize. Instead, dressed in black, looking fit, and joking, mugging, goofing and sliding, he did what comes naturally, packing a life-affirming encore into a ferocious 12-minute pocket of eternity.
In 2007, Prince was hailed as the best Super Bowl halftime act ever. Is there a new king of the intermission? Hmmm …
After Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out, which featured hobbled Big Man Clarence Clemons (the sax player was wheeled onto the field five minutes before showtime and sat there awkwardly), Bruce lit into Born to Run, which seemed like a weird song in the No. 2 slot. But it's so darn rousing, it works anywhere.
The third song was the title cut from his new album, Working on a Dream, and despite the onstage choir, and the flashlights in the crowd, it was pedestrian at best, dull at worst. (Full disclosure: Security yanked me back to the sideline during this song, so maybe I'm just surly.)
Then came the finale, Glory Days, which gently tweaks the glorification of sports culture but also embraces it with sing-along warmth. Springsteen even tinkered with the lyrics, making it sports appropriate: "I had a friend, was a big football player, back in high school." Best touch of the show right there.
After a cheeseball bit with a ref calling a time penalty on the band and throwing a flag, Springsteen bid adieu by screaming: "I'm going to Disneyland!" And with that, the fireworks lit up the sky.
How funny.
How American.
How Bruuuuuce!

The posters came under severe criticism, forcing the police to pull them down. Although the police said the posters were meant for a separate function and had found their way to the fair by mistake, they stood by the messages.
As part of a two-week programme aimed at womens empowerment in the run-up to the Independence Day, we had organised a function for prominent women, including representatives from NGOs, women self-help groups and post-graduate students of rural studies.
The posters were meant for the 400 invited women and had been displayed at our hall on police parade ground on August 12. But by mistake, they were displayed at the fair with other posters, Ranchhod Hadiya, in-charge SP of Porbandar district police, told The Indian Express on Thursday.
The posters had been put up at the stall of the district police and state social welfare department at the fair on Chowpaty Cricket Ground, which began last Saturday. After criticism from rights groups, the police removed the posters on Wednesday, just hours before the fair concluded.
While one of the controversial posters read, Do not venture out dressing indecently, another advised: Ask your daughter to use cellphone with discretion. These were among 300-odd posters, put up by the police. The others had messages on girld child and womens safety.
SP Hadiya said displaying the controversial posters at the fair was a mistake but maintained that they stood by their messages. Every parent would agree to the suggestions we made through the posters. The only problem is with phrasing of the messages. Instead of indecently we could have written decently, he said.
The SP said the posters were meant to raise awareness among the women who had been invited to the previous function only and that they had no intention of display them in public. He said the district police headquarters had prepared the two posters in question by downloading pictures from websites.
He said, We stand by the posters. The messages are suggestions with sadbhavana (with good intention). Wouldnt parents like their children to dress decently

"I'm so excited about her. I couldn't think of a better pick," DioGuardi told Usmagazine.com at the Nicole Miller fashion show in NYC.
"I really couldn't. I am ecstatic," she continued. "I think it's going to be incredibly exciting."
DioGuardi says she doesn't think DeGeneres necessarily needs music experience to be a good judge.
"I think she [is] somebody who loves music, who has loved the show and has experience and being a star. And part of what we look for on that show is somebody who commands the stage and knows how to bring the best out in her guests.
"I'm sure she's going to be able to tell the contestants how to be stars when they're on the stage and what they need to do to connect with the audience," DioGuardi added.

GLENDALE, Ariz. - Matt Kemp acknowledged that he read the now-famous quote from San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt about the Dodgers' chemistry earlier this month.
In reference to the Dodgers' league-high $213 million payroll, Belt said: "All I can say is, you can't buy chemistry."
Nothing like a few fightin' words to stoke a good rivalry, right?
The Dodgers' center fielder responded Friday. When told that it was Belt who made the "chemistry" quip, Kemp seemed unimpressed.
"Yeah. OK. Yeah, exactly," Kemp said. "I feel like if I was the World Series champ, I wouldn't be saying anything about anybody's team. You know what I'm saying? I don't have to say anything. I'm a World Series champ. We're not worried about what people say.
"I can already tell with the people that we have here that the chemistry's going to be good. We built chemistry at the end of the year last year. Everything started working the way we wanted it to work. We really don't care about what people say or how they feel.
"We have a great team. We've just got to go out there and do our thing. So let them say what they want."
Kemp is still recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. His only target to play in a game is April 1, the first day of the regular season.
After the surgery, Kemp said, he "kind of had fun with the eating" and couldn't run for a time. Eventually he lost the weight back, dropping down to 213 pounds. Kemp said he began the 2012 season at 220 pounds, up from 208 during his 39-home run season of 2011.
He hopes that will restore some of his power and keep him off the disabled list. Kemp went on the disabled list twice last year with hamstring injuries, interrupting a streak of 399 consecutive games played.
"I play center field. I can't be out there and be all heavy and trying to run around and make plays like Mike Trout," he said. "I've got to be light to do things like that."
"I hit 39 home runs, `Maybe if I gain 10 pounds I can hit 10 more home runs,' which maybe wasn't the case," Kemp continued. "I'm going to go back to a lighter Matt. Center field, I've got to do a lot of running, steal some bases. I'm definitely going to be stealing bases this year."
Kemp jokingly predicted - jokingly, he insists - that he would hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases last season. Instead he was limited to 106 games, hit 23 home runs and stole nine bases.

United States head coach Jurgen Klinsmann arrives to a news conference in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Wednesday. The U.S. was eliminated from the second round of the 2014 soccer World Cup in a 2-1 loss to Belgium in Salvador, Brazil. ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAO PAULO — No way is Jurgen Klinsmann going against the home Brazilians in this World Cup.
The U.S. coach believes the Selecao are making quite a run at their sixth World Cup championship, even if his homeland of Germany is still in the tournament while the Americans head home.
"Brazil is the No. 1 name to mention because of their talent and their home advantage and the energy they bring into this tournament," Klinsmann said. "There are other teams that will be difficult to beat. Germany will be difficult to beat. Holland will be difficult to beat."
Germany and Brazil would meet in the semifinals if they both win today.

We have been working at a fast pace to ready another ebook for you in quick succession. This is the other technical manual by Morihiro Saito Sensei alluded to in our advert on "Takemusu Aiki — Koshinage." Saito Sensei's other unknown manual from 1979 has a similar title: "Takemusu Aiki — Katatedori." We think you'll be pleased with the excellent technical content. I plan to have the new manual up tomorrow later in the day.
You literally gobbled up the first volume launched over the weekend, so we're shifting priorities to allot a large part of our energies to producing such useful documents for aikidoka. One of the nice things about the ebook format is that people have been stepping forward from all over the world to get their hands — figuratively speaking — on this material.
I'm in a hurry now with class about to start. In any event, watch this space tomorrow for the new announcement. You won't be disappointed!

IN the light of the current economic crisis, the Government should ease the burden on the rakyat by considering a discount on tolls.
I understand that PLUS has implemented a discount on the highways it operates. However, it is only in effect during off-peak hours, which is unrealistic for working people like me.
These off-peak hours do not benefit those who need the discount most, and the discount is only available on PLUS highways.
The Government should urge all highway concessionaires to give discounts, especially during times that are more relevant to those who need it most, as I see it as more of a necessity than a luxury.
Due to work commitments, I travel regularly on the Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway and the LDP, sometimes several times a day.
The toll charges add up tremendously, not to mention parking charges.
My choices are limited as public transportation leaves much to be desired.

Police: Sex offender who talked about abducting women is missing
MARYSVILLE, Wash. -- Detectives are hunting for a Level III sex offender who disappeared from his Marysville residence several weeks ago, following statements about abducting women from a trail and sexually assaulting them, according to the Marysville Police Department.
In light of those statements, police "are concerned enough to ask the public to help us get Stains into custody," Commander Robb Lamoureux said in a press release.
John Stains, 39, pleaded guilty to incest in 2009 after sexually assaulting a woman and threatening to kill her after she allowed him to stay at her home.
According to police, Stains was supposed to be living at a house in the 4900 block of 61st Street. But when detectives showed up for a monthly check on Thursday, they were told he had left several weeks earlier.
While in prison, Stains declined to participate in sex-offender treatment and recently talked about abducting and sexually assaulting women, according to police.
In addition, Stains has a Department of Corrections warrant out for him for escaping community custody.
His whereabouts are currently unknown.
Editor's note: A Marysville Police Department press release initially claimed Stain's statements were made recently, but was corrected later to say they were made in 2009, as part of his originial conviction.

Shake in an iced cocktail shaker and strain onto fresh ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
~ from "Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails" by Ted Haigh
If you're reading this, it's quite possible you'll be attending Tales of the Cocktail this month. Unfamiliar with Tales of the Cocktail? Here's a brief description: It's a nearly weeklong event that takes place in New Orleans every year, and is considered to be the premier cocktail and spirits event in the world. Bartenders, cocktail historians, liquor brand reps, drink writers and every type of booze enthusiast imaginable invade New Orleans each July to see what's new, swap information, renew friendships, and of course, enjoy a few cocktails. The action centers around the Hotel Monteleone, a historic location smack in the middle of the city's French Quarter and home to the Carousel Bar, notable for being not only the place where the Vieux Carre cocktail (above) was created in the early part of the last century, but also for its ability to rotate.
(That's not a typo...the bar is engineered in such a way that it slowly, silently rotates, treating patrons to a gentle, almost imperceptible ride. It's essentially a merry-go-round that dispenses alcohol. I can't recommend it highly enough.)
Tales of the Cocktail has proven so popular that it has spawned a second event held in Vancouver, but the main attraction remains the shindig in New Orleans. If you've been there before, then you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't yet attended TotC (or visited New Orleans), it's difficult to describe the whole experience in words only. Even if I attempted it, there isn't enough room in this column to do it justice, so I'll refrain. However, there are a few miscellaneous thoughts, observations and suggestions I can offer up that illustrate some of the goings-on...
Thanks for drinking! (and I'll see you at Tales!)

Chalet Overview
This charming chalet is well furnished in a traditional yet modern style and is one of our most popular chalets with returning Ski Total guests.

A look at why the Mariners could be in a prime position to be sold
Before Howard Lincoln, Chuck Armstrong, and fans from the Pacific Northwest begin calling, the Seattle Mariners are not for sale. I'm not saying they are. I haven't even heard a mere rumor to indicate as much. So if the Mariners do issue some kind of statement saying they are "unequivocally, absolutely not on the market" and that "Maury Brown is engaging in the worst kind of journalism," everyone can point to the 90 words in the first paragraph of this article where I made sure to say they aren't.
If you were to profile a club that was a prime candidate to be sold, however, the Mariners would be right there at the top of the list, very much looking the part of a club for sale. They are perfectly positioned. They have owners that seem to be in need of selling. And they're sitting within a near-perfect atmosphere to be unloaded in the wake of the Dodgers sale. The Mariners may not be on the market at this time, but you'd be hard pressed to find a team more suited for it.

Monon Trail improvements to begin Monday
The Department of Public Works will close a section of the Monon Trail near 75th Street for approximately two weeks beginning Monday, April 22, 2013 to resurface the trail, install new guardrails, and fix a drainage problem that has been eroding the trail and making it less safe and enjoyable for users.
During the project, bike traffic will be prohibited on the Monon Trail between 86th Street and 75th Street. Pedestrians will be permitted use of the trail between 86th Street and the construction zone. Bike and pedestrian detour signage will be in place along the detour route. The detour route will utilize Washington Boulevard to 84th Street and continue on Pennsylvania Street until 75th Street where bikers can intersect the Monon.
"The Monon Trail is one of the city's most popular warm-weather attractions," DPW Director Lori Miser said. "Our crews will do everything possible to complete these improvements as quickly as possible so our residents and visitors can fully enjoy using it."

Former WFLA-Ch. 8 anchor Bill Ratliff, who retired at Tampa's NBC affiliate last year after the station proposed cutting back his work hours and salary, will return to local TV as an analyst for 2010 election coverage.
But he's doing it for rival CBS affiliate WTSP-Ch. 10.
The move makes sense: Ratliff, 61, built up a tremendous amount of viewer loyalty during 12 years as an anchor on WFLA's morning show and 27 years' total at the station. Long before he took that job, he spent a year covering the 1986 race for the U.S. Senate between Bob Graham and Paula Hawkins.
"The one thing I know about Florida politics, is that no one is an expert," said Ratliff. "But a couple of people over here recommended me, they called, and now I'm really excited to get back to it."
Ratliff said he had no noncompete contract clause keeping him from work at other stations when he left WFLA last year. But he needed time to decompress after 12 years of rising at 3 a.m. to work the morning shift. "If (WFLA) had called, I probably would have said yes to them," he added. "But they never did."
Ratliff made his first appearance on WTSP Monday during their 5:30 p.m. newscast. He's expected to appear two to three times each week over the next three months.
Right now, he'll be talking over political issues inside the studio. WTSP news director Pete Roghaar hopes that if the next three months go well, it may be the beginning of a long-term association between the station and Ratliff that could last at least until the Republican national convention comes to Tampa in 2012.
"Bill has a lot of equity in this market," Roghaar said. "It's great to have somebody like that at your beck and call in an important election season."

THE Adelaide Thunderbirds have been dealt a huge blow in their bid to claim top spot on the ANZ Championship ladder after captain Nat von Bertouch was ruled out of today's battle against the Queensland Firebirds with injury.
Von Bertouch was confident she could take the court but medical staff were concerned the flight to Brisbane could have aggravated her corked thigh.
Former Thunderbirds team members Maddy Proud, based in Canberra with the AIS this season, and Sheree Wingard have been recruited into the side for the top-of-the-table clash.
Von Bertouch took a heavy knock in the opening quarter of the game against the Melbourne Vixens last week and was forced to leave the game just a minute into the second period.
"The club gave me until the last minute to make the travelling team but unfortunately I just fell a little bit short," von Bertouch said.
"It (her thigh) is feeling pretty good so it will be fine for next week and I will be back at training on Monday."
Leigh Waddington replaced the skipper at centre and is favoured to keep the job against the unbeaten Firebirds.
Wingard was with the Thunderbirds for two seasons, including the 2010 premiership year, and trained with the Thunderbirds on Friday night.
The midcourter had hoped to return to the ANZ Championship last year when approached by the Firebirds last year to be a replacement player for then injured Chelsea Pitman.
She was ruled ineligible, however, because she had played for the Thunderbirds in the Tauranga pre-season tournament.
The Firebirds are on top of the ladder after claiming four wins from four games while the Thunderbirds are just percentage behind them in second, albeit having played an extra game.
"We like to see where the line in the sand is and jump over it," coach Jane Woodlands-Thompson said. "They are not on top by accident.
"It is always terrific to come up against the top team because it gives you the absolute benchmark of where you are at.
"We have to keep building momentum while it will be interesting to see how the Firebirds come off the bye."
The Thunderbirds have responded to the poor performance against the Vixens in round two with a victory over classy New Zealand side Southern Steel in Dunedin, a thrashing of the West Coast Fever and a one-goal win over premiership favourites Vixens.
The wins have been built on defensive pressure and Woodlands-Thompson will again demand a committed 60-minute effort today.

April 22 - The English Football Association (FA) today sought to diffuse a row over eligibility for London 2012 by confirming that no player selected for Euro 2012 will be chosen for Team GB.
Newspaper reports have suggested that England star Wayne Rooney (pictured below) is already on a shortlist for Olympic selection following the recent pruning to 80 of Team GB coach Stuart Pearce's (pictured top) so-called "long list".
However, the FA has made it clear that when the party is further trimmed to a final 18 – three of whom can be over the age limit of 23 – none of those who play in Poland and Ukraine just beforehand will be in the frame.
"Any player who travels to Euro 2012 with England will not be considered for the Olympic GB team," confirmed Club England managing director Adrian Bevington.
"This position has not changed."
Although Manchester United striker Rooney, 26, is suspended from England's first two games of the finals, he is expected to be included in the Euro 2012 squad by whoever is in charge of the national team.
England currently has no permanent manager, with England under-21 manager Pearce, 49, currently juggling both jobs, including the senior-team role on a caretaker basis.
"The list of 80 does include players who are regulars in the England squad and they remain on the Team GB list until England's Euro squad is finalised," Bevington explained.
"[But] if they are selected for Poland and Ukraine they will not be available for the Olympics."
The situation regarding eligibility has been further complicated by FIFA, world football's governing body, now insisting clubs must release any player selected for an Olympic squad – even though the tournament was not originally on the international calendar.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has insisted his pre-season plans lie in tatters after revealing that 10 of his squad could be lost to the Olympics, which takes place just a month before the start of the 2012-2013 Premier League season.
"It's ridiculous – utter chaos," he has reportedly said.
The Olympic men's gold-medal match will be played at Wembley on August 11, just 24 hours before the new season gets underway with the annual Community Shield between the Premier League champions and FA Cup winners – also at the national stadium.
Fifteen of the 16 countries to contest the Olympic men's tournament are already known with either Oman or Senegal set to grab the final place tomorrow night; the women's draw now has its full complement of 12.
Both the men's and women's draws are scheduled to take place on Tuesday (April 24).

May 7, 2010
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.: May 7, 2010 - Senior Bridget Franek (Hiram, Ohio) clocked an NCAA-leading performance in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in her final appearance on her own track, Friday evening at the Penn State Outdoor Open. Franek's effort headlined a host of solid performances from the Nittany Lion track and field squads, who are just a week out for the Big Ten Outdoor Championships, to be hosted at Indiana University next weekend. Freshman Collin Manning (Bowie, Md.) paced the Nittany Lions in the men's results, taking top honors in both the 100- and 200-meter dash.
Franek, who holds the Penn State school record in the event at 9:36.74, clocked a new Nittany Lion Track record, running 9:54.70 for the steeplechase, to better Colorado's Emma Coburn, who held the nation's previous best at 9:56.29. Franek's performance is the best in the NCAA Eastern standings by nearly 10 seconds, and the fastest in the Big Ten Conference by almost 11 seconds.
Manning put up a pair of personal bests on his way to two event victories, running 10.64 for the 100, and 21.84 in the 200. Teammate Emunael Mpanduki (Harare, Zimbabwe) placed second in both dashes, with times of 10.92, and 22.17. Junior Lionel Williams (Staten Island, N.Y.) would also claim a victory in the sprints, winning the 400-meters in 48.33. Senior Aleesha Barber (Decatur, Ga.) was the top finisher in the women's sprints and hurdles, scoring a top finish in the 100-meter hurdles with a finishing time of 13.60. Junior Megan Duncan (North Huntingdon, Pa.) was tops in the 400-meter hurdles, posting a season-best 59.39.
The Lions enjoyed a trio of victories and personal bests across the board in the men's throws, with junior Blake Eaton (Allegany, N.Y.) taking the shot put, thanks to an outdoor PR toss of 59-01.50 (18.02). Redshirt sophomore Joe Kovacs (Nazareth, Pa.) was tops in the discus with a PR effort of 166-09 (50.84), while senior Cory Eck (State College, Pa.) was the victor in the hammer with a mark of 194-07 (59.30) - also a career best, as well as the fifth-best throw in Nittany Lion history.
Senior Ryan Fritz (Parkesburg, Pa.) was also outstanding in his final appearance in Happy Valley, matching his own career-best leap of 7-02.50 (2.20) in the high jump. Fritz's clearance is one of the 10 best jumps in the country this season, and currently ranks third among Big Ten competitors. Freshman Sean Reilly (Lagrangeville, N.Y.) placed second in the competition, topping out at a collegiate-best 6-08.75 (2.05).
The Nittany Lions also mounted a stellar effort in the women's jumps, with sophomore Tanaya Lloyd (Philadelphia, Pa.) winning the triple jump with a personal-best 40-10.50 (12.46). Lloyd's performance also cracks the Penn State all-time top 10 list, as the sophomore now stands sixth in Nittany Lion history. Junior Bianca Fung (North Babylon, N.Y.) made it a clean sweep in the horizontals, taking the long jump with a leap of 19-10.75 (6.06). Senior Caitlin Fairbairn (Coatesville, Pa.) would also earn a win, clearing a career-outdoor best 12-08.25 (3.87) in the pole vault, while classmate Brittany Maun (Greensburg, Pa.) topped out at a season-best 5-09.75 (1.77) in the high jump, claiming first place.
In the throws, junior Karlee McQuillen (Johnstown, Pa.) claimed a victory in the women's javelin with a season-best 163-05 (49.82). The Lions would pick up another pair of throws victories on the afternoon, with sophomores Anna Muzio (Harrisburg, Pa.) and Jenna Witmer (Lampeter, Pa.) winning the shot put and the discus, respectively.
Junior Samuel Borchers (Yellow Springs, Ohio) scored a win in the 1500-meters, going 3:47.21, while sophomore Hanif Johnson (Harrisburg, Pa.) jumped 48-03.25 (14.71) to win the triple jump, adding another pair of victories to the Lion total.
The Lions are now onto the championship portion of the outdoor season, traveling to Bloomington, Ind., for the Big Ten Outdoor Championships, set for May 14-16.

Now that she's been tapped to wear Victoria's Secret's $2.5 million jewel-encrusted Treasure Fantasy Bra, Miranda Kerr (and her famous assets) will be the center of attention.
At the decked-out creations's big reveal in NYC on Wednesday, the brunette beauty worked polished, center-parted waves and perfect sun-kissed makeup.
To create the 28-year-old Aussie's gorgeous glow, celebrity makeup artist Ana Marie Rizzieri used Victoria's Secret Pro Airbrush FX Face Primer SPF 20 ($18, victoriassecret.com) and added pops of peachy bronzer to the apples of her cheeks.
Rizzieri kept Kerr's lips neutral with baby pink lipstick and by dabbing a shimmering pink highlight on the middle of her lips to create the perfect pout.
In addition to a mix of smoky eye shadow hues, Rizzieri used Victoria's Secret Brilliant Glitter Liquid Liner in Blacklight ($13, victoriassecret.com) to create a sexy cat eye and loaded up her lashes with a volumizing mascara and a few individual falsies.
PHOTOS: Check out the sexiest moments from last year's runway show
Kerr will model the special edition bra in the lingerie brand's holiday catalogue and at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which airs on CBS in November. The turquoise colored piece boasts an impressive 142 carats of white and yellow diamonds among 3,400 hand-set stones.
"It was magical. Felt like a million dollars. Or $2.5 million!" Kerr gushed to Us Weekly about suiting up in the dazzling design.

Injured Canucks forward Manny Malhotra skated by himself at Rogers Arena Wednesday, wearing a full-cage facemask.
His appearance ignited Internet speculation that perhaps he could return from a career-threatening eye injury and bolster the Canucks lineup for their Stanley Cup push, which moves into Round 3 Sunday against either the San Jose Sharks or Detroit Red Wings.
But a Canucks source said that as of today, Malhotra would not pass the NHL's vision test, meaning he would not meet the league's 20/400 minimum requirement. The same source said that Malhotra is still likely to undergo at least one more minor procedure on the injured left eye, and that even if he received medical clearance for a return, it would still be unlikely because he has gone almost two months between games, and would need time to get back into shape. Malhotra's recovery is trending in the top 5 per cent of people who suffer this particular injury, which means he is likely to return to the NHL at some point. But it is "extremely unlikely" to happen this spring, according to the source.
"We're very optimistic about Manny's recovery, we're taking it day-by-day and week-by-week," Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said. "In all likelihood, he will require continued monitoring and perhaps more procedures along the way."

Politicians side with gas companies, ignore science on shale gas drilling. Drinking water threatened
So the president gave a great State of the Union address last night. 95% of what we said was good. Im glad I voted for him over John McCain. Not like that was a hard decision or anything. I was excited about Obama in 2008 and made a lot of phone calls and canvassed for him.
Natural gas drilling from the deep underground shale layers is currently poisoning water supplies in America. This is the hydro-fracturing or fracking process.
The government should step in to protect people so we can have clean water to drink.
Politicians including the President say we should continue this toxic drilling and injection without slowing down.
Many people are concerned about this poisoning and are calling for a moratorium on fracking until it can be shown to be safe.
The President says drillers on public lands should disclose their chemicals.
Thats nice but
1) It should apply to all drillers not just public lands
2) Disclosing chemicals does not stop the currently ongoing poisoning
The President says my Administration will take every possible action to safely develop this energy.
But it is already being developed very unsafely, threatening our drinking water, and the government should be protecting us, instead of siding with the polluters. The administration to date has taken no actions to protect people from this.
The government is siding with the gas and oil companies like Halliburton.
Those companies have great access to politicians because they have a lot of money.
They can meet with Senators any time they want.
Regular people who are concerned with clean water have almost no access to politicians. They sometimes have to go to great lengths to get even a meeting with a state legislator.
Im really disappointed that politicians including President Obama are choosing to ignore the science presented to them by the Environmental Protection Agency, by shale gas expert advisory groups, by the scientific community, and by the concerned residents of these communities.
Once we are done paying Halliburton and friends to make our water undrinkable, we can then pay them to clean it back up and sell it back to us at a profit.
By siding with the gas companies, our politicians are failing to take into account the cost in health to communities and families.
Besides people, there are also a lot of animals out there trying to get a drink out of a stream. Fish and deer and bald fricken eagles.
I would expect this stance from George W. Bush or John Kasich, but to be honest I wasnt expecting it from President Obama.
What should the President have said last night instead?
I call upon all natural gas developers engaged in hydrofracking near water supplies to temporarily halt their activity until the process can be shown to be safe.
Easy as pie.

1. Humans as yeasts
Yeasts are pretty stupid creatures. Having only one cell, there are no synapses or neurons to worry about, just eat and excrete until your environment will no longer support (your kind of) life. Unfortunately, money has taken over the role of synapses and neurons, so the future of humanity will be the same as for the yeasts. Actually worse, for humans haven't yet figured out how to sporulate.

The School of Visual Arts, with more than 2,000 undergraduate and graduate majors combined, is one
of the nation's largest and most comprehensive visual arts programs at a public institution. The school
offers degrees in 12 major areas of concentration.
P> The School of Visual Arts maintains a comprehensive range of professional-level programs in the
visual arts for those whose primary interest is art, and who intend to make some phase of the scholarship
or production of art their life's work. To achieve this, the School of Visual Arts is staffed with
faculty dedicated both to quality teaching and to professional achievement as artists and scholars.
Career opportunities for graduates include employment as professional artists and designers, art teachers, professors and administrators. Career options also include work in art museums and galleries and in art-related positions in business and industry. Library holdings in art include major reference tools and microforms, such as the Marburger Index and Index Photographique de l'Art en France, and comprehensive holdings in art history. Proximity to museum libraries in Dallas and Fort Worth provides access to additional resources.
Teaching fellowships and assistantships are available in all majors. Internships for graduate students may be arranged in communication design, fashion, interior design and museums.
The School of Visual Arts operates as one unit but is organized into divisions based on the following programs.
The division of art education and art history offers the BA, and BFA degrees with majors in art history and visual art studies. The MA is offered in the area of art history, and the MA and PhD degrees are offered in the area of art education. The division offers a graduate academic certificate program in art museum education. Students interested in these degrees may contact Dr. Jacqueline Chanda, chair, division of art education and art history of the School of Visual Arts.

The School of Visual Arts offers excellent facilities, including a 90,000-square-foot Art Building
with classrooms, computer labs, studios, the University Art Gallery, a visual resources library and a
4,400-square-foot workshop. Oak Street Hall comprises photography, ceramics, graduate studios and the Stafford
Art Gallery.
The Oak Street Annex houses the Print Research Institute of North Texas Press. Scoular Hall houses a computer-aided design lab, fashion design, fibers, and the Texas Fashion Collection, comprising over 10,000 garments. Kendall Hall houses additional graduate studios.
The School of Visual Arts is staffed with more than 52 full-time and part-time faculty who consistently distinguish themselves at regional, national and international levels. One of the six regional centers for excellence in visual arts education, originally funded in part by the Getty Education Institute for the Arts, is directed by two of the school's faculty members. Additionally, there is an active visiting artists program bringing a broad range of workshops and lectures to the campus each year.
Applicants must meet requirements for admission to the Toulouse School of Graduate Studies. In addition, the School of Visual Arts requires a portfolio review of all applicants for MFA degrees. The portfolio should consist of 20 appropriately labeled slides of recent artwork, at least 10 of which should be in the student's major area of concentration. Applicants to the MA programs in art history do not have to submit slides; instead they must submit a recent term paper or a sample of professional writing. Applicants to the MA and PhD program in art education must submit a sample of professional writing. The submission of a slide portfolio is optional. All applicants should submit a brief statement of objectives, a minimum of two letters of recommendation and acceptable scores on the Graduate Record Examination. Contact the School of Visual Arts or the Toulouse School of Graduate Studies for standardized test requirements.
Prospective applicants for graduate degree programs must obtain admission forms from the UNT graduate dean and information from the School of Visual Arts. Admission deadlines are as follows:
