Idk if its just me by I don't really like the warlock class item it's not as flashy as the titans sash or the hunters cape so I would be nice if something else was tried

I have an idea for a new Warlock item. If anyone is familiar with Assassin's Creed II Ezio has a shoulder cape that only covers one arm. Why not give us something like that?

Durban - Criticising a Verulam magistrate's shoddy procedure in swearing in a child victim in a sexual assault case, the Supreme Court of Appeal has overturned the 10-year sentence and conviction of a KwaZulu-Natal man.
In a judgment last week, Judge Zukisa Tshiqi, with two judges concurring, said the magistrate had not asked proper questions when she administered the oath to a 14-year-old boy who was testifying in the case against Geallal Raghubar.
Raghubar took the matter to the Supreme Court of Appeal after he had lost his appeal in the Pietermaritzburg Appeal Court.
The judge said the magistrate had only asked "elementary questions" about the boy's name, age and level of education to determine whether he was competent to testify.
She also said the magistrate's leading question about the oath centred on whether or not the boy believed in God and that he would be punished if he lied.
"The question (about God) is not helpful. It was impossible to gather from it whether the complainant understood what it means to speak the truth and to take the oath."
The magistrate's question was: "And do you believe that if you promised God to speak the truth about something… that if you went on and spoke lies, getting somebody in big trouble, do you believe that God would know and would punish you for doing that?"
She said the boy's evidence could not be relied on because the magistrate had not carried out the correct enquiry to ensure that he had understood the oath and the conviction could not stand.
Judge Tshiqi added that even if the oath had been handled correctly, the magistrate had not exercised caution when he dealt with the evidence of the boy, who was six when the incidents allegedly occurred, and the only witness.
"There were contradictions in the boy's evidence and, while he spoke of several incidents of assault, the charge sheet referred to only one.
"It appears that the court merely paid lip service to the cautionary rule because it ignored several contradictions in the State's case."
Childline's KZN director Linda Naidoo said the case was a sad indictment on the criminal justice system.
"There are so many challenges and a long process to even get a child prepared for court, so it is disappointing when this happens at the trial," she said.
Naidoo said that there was adequate training for magistrates dealing with sexual assault cases against children.
"It is extremely difficult for children to testify about sexual assault and to meet the requirements of the criminal justice system because a shadow of doubt could mean no conviction.
"There are very competent magistrates who know how to properly deal with these cases and they should be better utilised so that children are treated fairly," she said. - The Mercury

Hierarchical Mobility Control for Data Ferries Under Constrained Message Delays
The authors consider the problem of controlling mobile data ferries for message delivery among disconnected, scattered domains in a highly partitioned network. Existing work on data ferry control mostly focuses on predetermined ferry routes, assuming full observations at the ferry and no explicit Quality of Service (QoS) constraints on the resulting communications. In this paper, they aim at designing a QoS-enabled ferry control solution, which handles both partial observations and bounded message delays. To this end, they extend their previous work on data ferry control with partial observations into a comprehensive hierarchical framework called Switch-And-Navigate (SAN), which consists of a global switch policy for determining the best domain to visit and a local navigation policy per domain for searching for nodes within individual domains.

The always fresh, always different, producer Eliot Lipp recently signed with the Pretty Lights Music Label to release his first LP in just over three years. Known for his incredibly versatile multi-genre sounds, this Brooklyn-based producer has been constantly touring, releasing albums, and changing the game for just under a decade.
Eliot Lipp has new tour dates on the books, including shows with: Foster the People (DJ set), Emancipator, Michal Menert and Supervision!
Z2 Entertainment is proud to present Eliot Lipp at the Fox Theatre on Thursday, February 7th. Tickets will go on sale to the public on Friday, December 14th for $12.00 in advance and $14.00 day of show.
Eliot Lipp's recent album, Shark Wolf Rabbit Snake, may be a mouthful but it's definitely tasty. A connoisseur of hip-hop, jazz fusion, folk and techno, Lipp blends genres together but still leave some chunky knock. Just listen to "On N' On".
For the record, I believe that Pretty Lights Music (the label) represents the future of independent electronic music, offering digital, freely available releases to the public and paying the way with goodwill and a collective reputation for putting on tight live shows.
In anticipation of the first-annual Escape to New York this August 5-7 at the Shinnecock Reservation in The Hamptons, the festival is proud to announce its DJ/Dance lineup.

Some of the NHL's best teams made moves in the draft to improve their playoff chances.
The Bruins were unquestionable winners in the 2010 draft when they chose Tyler Seguin with the No. 2 overall pick. However, this year's draft was a little different.
The Carolina Hurricanes picked left winger Phillip Di Giuseppe with the 38th overall pick in this year's draft. The 18-year-old played 39 games for the University of Michigan last season, tallying 25 points.
Buffalo went with Mikhail Grigorenko for the 12th overall pick. The 6-foot-3 Russian center led all Quebec Major Junior Hockey League rookies with 45 goals and 85 points. This is a good addition for the Sabres, who missed the playoffs last season, finishing ninth in the Eastern Conference.
The Philadelphia Flyers drafted Scott Laughton with their first round pick. Laughton, drafted 20th overall, is a 6-foot center who played in 64 games for Oshawa of the OHL Amateur League last season, scoring 21 goals with 32 assists.
Washington might also be a draft winner. Filip Forsberg, a 6-foot-2 Swedish center, helped his country win a gold medal at the 2012 Junior World Championships. He scored 21 goals in 36 games for the Leksand Junior team of the Sweden junior league in 2010-11. He could be a great addition to a team that is already stacked with offense. By offense, we mean Alex Ovechkin.
P.K. Subban's younger brother, Malcolm Subban, was drafted by the Bruins with the 24th overall pick. The Bruins needed a goalie after losing Tim Thomas, despite having Tuukka Rask in between the pipes for the majority of the upcoming season. Subban finished fourth in the league with a 2.50 goals against average in his second OHL season. He was 25-14 in 39 games.
Now you know a little bit about the NHL's up-and-coming stars. It might take a season or two for these guys to make their names well-known in the league, but it's time for you to vote on which team made the biggest wave in this year's draft.

This gameplay video from Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 shows off the Toymaker, whom you may remember from the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow DLC called Mirror of Fate.
Like a cross between Ben Franklin and the Penguin*, the Toymaker seems like a kindly old man - until he's possessed by some blood-borne evil.
The full video is a bit lengthy (9+ minutes) but it contains an entire boss encounter, so what better way to preview what you'll be getting yourself into should you decide to play Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2?
to learn more, follow the jump. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 will be out on February 25th.
*I call dibs on the concept of Ben Franklin as a Batman villain.
KONAMI Shows Lavish Development Process of Sequel's Arch Foe
The Toymaker is a mischievous adversary of mysterious origin first introduced in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate, and returns in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, when his macabre lair plays host to one of the game's key confrontations. The new assets showcase the evolution of the character, from initial sketches to full implementation.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 acts as a conclusion to the Lords of Shadow story. The new game is set in a modern city tainted by Dracula's influence and within Dracula's castle itself. It sees a tortured Dracula charged with engaging Satan in battle once again. This epic sequel boasts a vast open-world environment, user-controlled camera and a truly enormous challenge as the world's most famous vampire seeks an end to his immortal existence. His story comes to an end in a suitably shocking circumstance.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 will be released for PlayStation®3, Xbox 360® and Windows PC in the US on February 25, 2014.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A review of five hot issues from the Carolina Panthers' 30-15 victory over the St. Louis Rams:
Cam can: How impressive are Cam Newton's consecutive passer ratings of 143.4 (Minnesota) and 136.3 (St. Louis)? No other quarterback in the league -- including Peyton Manning, who is having a career year -- has had consecutive games of 136.0 or better this season. Newton was 15-for-17 for 204 yards and a touchdown against the Rams. Both incompletions were in the first half, and one was a drop by wide receiver Steve Smith. In Carolina's three wins Newton is 50-for-70 for 669 yards and seven touchdowns. He also ran for two touchdowns in those games.
Fourth-and-1: The past few games have been about the Panthers' ability to convert, but on Sunday it was all about the defense's ability to stop. With the Rams threatening to knot the score at 7-all on fourth-and-goal from the 1, Carolina had everything covered perfectly on a pass play the Rams used successfully for a touchdown a week earlier against Houston. Safety Quintin Mikell in particular did a nice job of standing his ground on the play-action pass, leaving quarterback Sam Bradford nowhere to throw.
The Lurk: Safety Mike Mitchell stood on the St. Louis sideline after Bradford out of bounds in the fourth quarter with his arms spread wide. He called that his "lurk," meaning he's always lurking in the secondary. Mitchell said he didn't realize Bradford had injured his knee, which would sideline him for the rest of the game. (Bradford has a torn ACL, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.) Harvey Dahl didn't like the "lurk" move, which ultimately resulted in the offensive lineman getting a personal foul. Mitchell said his issues with Dahl began earlier in the game when Dahl hit linebacker Luke Kuechly late to draw his first personal foul. "You saw the cheap shot he put on Luke earlier," Mitchell said. "I told him about it and I think he had something against me the rest of the game because I got up in his face and told him, 'You won't do that to one of our players.'" Mitchell, by the way, also drew a personal foul from wide receiver Brian Quick.
The Luke: No, nothing's wrong with Kuechly, the reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. Kuechly had a career-low three tackles against the Rams and hasn't had double-digit tackles since the second game after having 10 such games last season. The guys up front simply are making more plays so the middle linebacker doesn't have to. Rookie first-round draft pick defensive tackle Star Lotulelei had a career-best six tackles, including two for losses. Second-round pick Kawann Short had three tackles, including two for losses. End Greg Hardy had four tackles, including a sack. Considering the Rams only ran 21 times, there weren't a lot of other opportunities. This is a sign the defense as a whole is playing better, not Kuechly playing worse.
Taking care of business: The Panthers (3-3) have won two in a row and three of their past four. With a win on Thursday night at Tampa Bay (0-6) they can climb above .500 for the first time since 2008. Then comes a winnable game against banged-up Atlanta (2-4). If Carolina can get to 5-3 it has a chance to make a run at the NFC playoffs with only seven teams posting a record better than 3-3 thus far. With six of the next 10 against NFC South opponents the division title could be within reach.

Additional Medicare Tax
You might have earned income for 2013 or later years that's more than the threshold amount for your filing status. If you do, you'll be subject to the 0.9% additional Medicare tax on earned income. The threshold amounts are based on your filing status:
- Single, head of household, or qualifying widow(er) -- $200,000
- Married filing jointly -- $250,000
- Married filing separately -- $125,000
The 0.9% additional Medicare tax only applies to earned income that's more than the threshold amount.
For purposes of the additional Medicare tax, earned income includes:
- Wages
- Bonuses
- Tips
- Certain noncash fringe benefits
- Self-employment income
Your employer will begin withholding the additional Medicare tax once your wages reach a certain amount. Your filing status isn't important for this. Withholding starts when your wages and other compensation are more than $200,000 for the year. This is true even if you won't be liable for the additional Medicare tax.
Ex: You earn $225,000 and are married filing jointly. Your spouse earns $10,000. Since your joint earned income ($235,000) isn't more than $250,000, you won't owe the tax. However, your employer will still withhold the tax from your paycheck on wages over $200,000. Any tax withheld from your paycheck that you're not liable for will be applied against your taxes on your income return.
In some cases, your employer might not withhold any of the additional Medicare tax. This could happen even if you're liable for the tax.
Ex: You earn $150,000 and are married filing jointly. Your spouse also earns $150,000. You and your spouse's combined income ($300,000) is more than $250,000. So, you'll be liable for the additional 0.9% Medicare tax. However, neither of your employers will withhold the tax since each of your wages is less than $200,000. So, you should make estimated tax payments and / or request additional withholding on Form W-4.
To learn more, see Additional Medicare Tax FAQS at www.irs.gov.

You've got your forms. And we've got your back. There's only one thing left to do. Let's do this.

From Lost to Found
Problem: It sounds like a Nancy Drew novel: The Case of the Missing Books. Except, for the Lee County School District in Fort Myers, Fla., the problem was all too real. During a standard review of costs by the governor's task force, a process that analyzes possible cost savings and procedure improvements in Florida's schools, a startling discovery was made about textbook losses. The task force estimated that from 1997 to 2002, the school system had lost 62,272 books, representing approximately $2 million. Even more disheartening, it was predicted that without a better textbook management system, losses would top $250,000 per year after 2004.
Solution: In a district with many transient students, administrators couldn't just ask everyone to look under their beds for missing books. The district was already using a technology-based system called TextLink from Follett Software to keep library books from straying, so when the decision was made to extend its inventory procedures to textbooks, Follett got the call.
Extending TextLink into a textbook management system helped align the existing library program and new textbook program, so administrators could glimpse all book-related activity in one report. The initial cost was $91,000 to implement the system in the district's 62 schools, which included scanners and bar codes as well as software.
The system provides district-wide reporting; it also assigns responsibility to specific individuals, says Sandra Agle, Lee County's director of instructional technology and media. "Before the textbook management, one aide might jot down notes about missing textbooks and put it in a file," she says. "And the next week another aide would write something too. But no one was really following up."
Because the district had TextLink in its libraries, the transition wasn't as daunting as it might have been. All schools in the district had the textbook management software and procedures in place within three months. Tanya Asfour, the district's main technician, implemented the software and training.
consciousness among students and staff
that textbooks are important."

One of the benefits was a fresh sense of accountability, Asfour says. "Having a system in place helped us to raise consciousness among students and staff that textbooks are important." Principals, too, were made accountable for textbook losses in their budgets.
The result? Lee County estimates savings of $418,000 over the next five years. The system has decreased losses in the first year by about $20,000, essentially getting its initial expenditure back. At one of the district's high schools, the number of textbooks lost went from 2,400 per year before tracking to 100.
Because of the program's success, Lee County is now in the process of implementing another Follett system, Destiny Textbook Manager, which allows information like library fines, textbook purchasing data and textbook locations to be accessed via the Web.
Overlooked Problem
Lee County is hardly the only district to deal with textbook loss and the financial headache accompanying it.
"A lot of districts don't have a handle on how many books they're losing every year, because they usually don't have a system that tells them what's gone," says Tom Schenck, president of Follett. The company has seen a surge of interest in textbook tracking at districts, and it's done in about 3,000 school systems. There are plans to integrate tracking of licenses for electronic textbooks, another emerging issue for schools, with the TextLink and Destiny systems.
"Districts are interested in reporting and accountability," says Kathy Sharo, Follett's director of marketing. "And, of course, the cost savings associated with managing textbooks can be sizable, and that's always compelling."

About 48 hours before the NFL Draft kicked off Thursday night, rumors began to spread like wildfire that Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Mike Glennon, who was recently ousted in favor of veteran Josh McCown for the starting job, was on the trade block.
Bucs head coach Lovie Smith put those rumors to bed just after the Bucs selected, not a quarterback with the seventh overall pick in the first round but a wide receiver, passing on both Johnny Manziel and Teddy Bridgewater.
"Mike Glennon is our quarterback of the future here. Why would we want to add a third quarterback to the mix?" Smith asked.
"You know how much I like Josh McCown as our starter here, but I love Mike Glennon."
Both Manziel and Bridgewater had visits with the team in Tampa. The Bucs also hosted Fresno State quarterback Derek Carr and Eastern Illinois' Jimmy Garoppolo.
"Our quarterback position is as strong as, to me, any quarterback position I've had when I've been a head coach."
Multiple reports indicated that the Bucs were seeking anywhere from a second to third-round pick in exchange for Glennon, who was taken in the third round of last year's draft and became a starter shortly after the season began.

The Beak of the Squid*: Researchers Reveal Argonaute2 Protein as the Catalytic Engine of Mammalian RNA Interference
COLD SPRING HARBOR, New York, July 28 -- RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a fundamentally important biological phenomenon and as a versatile, powerful tool for biomedical research. In organisms from fungi and flies to plants and mammals, RNAi plays a multifaceted role in molecular biology by silencing genes through chromatin remodeling, interfering with protein synthesis, and--in its best-studied mode of action--quashing gene expression by cleaving messenger RNA. Experimental applications of RNAi have spurred the exploration of gene function in many basic research, drug discovery, and clinical settings. Until now, however, the identity of the molecular scissors that carry out RNAi-mediated messenger RNA cleavage has not been revealed.
Two studies published this week in Science have resolved this mystery by establishing that Argonaute2, a signature protein component of the RNA interference machinery, provides the cutting action that carries out RNAi-mediated messenger RNA cleavage. The studies were conducted at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory by research groups led by Greg Hannon and Leemor Joshua-Tor.
Given the role of RNA interference in a wide variety of biological processes and the intense interest in RNAi as a tool for both basic and applied research, the studies by Hannon and Joshua-Tor are a significant advance toward a comprehensive understanding of one of the most intriguing and far-reaching biological phenomena to be uncovered in recent years.
Model for RNAi-mediated mRNA cleavage by Argonaute
Full Story
Hannon's group focused on sorting out the functions of four mammalian Argonaute family members (Ago1, 2, 3, and 4). First, through a biochemical approach, Hannon and his colleagues found that only a single Argonaute family member, Ago2, supports the formation of mRNA cleavage-competent complexes in vitro.
To extend these biochemical findings to an in vivo setting, and to further explore the specialization of Argonaute family member function, Hannon's group disrupted the mouse Ago2 gene by targeted insertional mutagenesis. The researchers observed an embryonic lethal phenotype and striking developmental abnormalities in Ago2 homozygotes.
All Ago2 homozygous embryos displayed defects in neural tube structure, with half of the embryos showing complete failure of neural tube closure in the head region. The embryos also had enlarged hearts and pronounced swelling of the pericardial cavity, and were severely developmentally delayed compared to their wild-type and heterozygous littermates. In contrast to the critical developmental role of Ago2 revealed by these findings, work by researchers elsewhere has shown that other Argonaute family members are dispensable for development.
Hannon and his colleagues reasoned that if Ago2 is uniquely capable of assembling into mRNA cleavage-competent complexes in vivo, then mouse cells lacking Ago2 but containing other Ago proteins should be incapable of carrying out experimentally-triggered, siRNA-mediated mRNA cleavage.
The researchers observed just such a result with Ago2-deficient mouse cells, and showed further that a plasmid encoding human Ago2 (but not Ago1) could restore siRNA-mediated mRNA cleavage to Ago2-deficient mouse cells.
Hannon's study was consistent with the possibility that Argonaute2 provides the "Slicer" activity of RNAi-mediated mRNA cleavage. However, the possibility that a different protein provides Slicer activity could not be ruled out. Fortunately, Leemor Joshua-Tor's group, also at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, was simultaneously conducting x-ray crystallographic studies of an Argonaute protein (PfAgo) from the hyperthermophilic archaebacterium, Pyrococcus furiosus.
When Joshua-Tor and her colleagues determined the crystal structure of PfAgo, they found that the PIWI domain of PfAgo belongs to the RNase H family of enzymes, whose members have RNA cleavage activity. This finding immediately implicated Argonaute itself as the protein that provides the Slicer activity of RNAi in mammals and other organisms.
Hannon and Joshua-Tor had previously shown that another domain of Argonaute proteins, the PAZ domain, recognizes the 3' ends of siRNAs. That observation, combined with her group's discovery that the PIWI domain of PfAgo belongs to the RNase H family, enabled Joshua-Tor to propose a model for siRNA-targeted mRNA cleavage by Argonaute (see attached figure, 352 kb).
Collectively, the two new studies establish that Argonaute2 is the catalytic engine of mammalian RNAi and provide a specific, structural mechanism for siRNA-targeted mRNA cleavage by Argonaute.
*The term "Argonaute" refers to the squid-like appearance of the leaves of Arabidopsis mutants lacking AGO1 gene function (Bohmert et al., 1998). See also the Greek myth Jason and the Argonauts and the squid, Argonauta argo.

TUSCALOOSA | Louisiana natives on the University of Alabama roster such as Kenny Bell, Eddie Lacy and Cody Mandell might have a bit more of a personal stake in the Crimson Tide's game against LSU next weekend, but one doesn't have to come from the Bayou state for the most anticipated game of the season in the Southeastern Conference to mean a little something extra.
Trent Richardson is from Pensacola, Fla. But having several strong relationships with LSU players, and having been recruited heavily by the Tigers out of high school, he also considers the Nov. 5 game a special one.
"I've got a lot of friends at LSU who play on the team," Richardson said. "We've called each other and said, you know, 'Hey, be ready.' And that's what it is. Friends before the game, but when we're in the game there ain't no friends out there. It's every man for himself."
Richardson said he knows LSU running back Michael Ford, receivers Rueben Randle and Russell Shepard and defensive end Sam Montgomery, among others.
Richardson also has an older brother, Terrell, who played football at Louisiana-Lafayette, near Baton Rouge. In fact, proximity to his brother was one reason LSU was high on his list of college options when he was among the nation's top recruits in the class of 2009. Lafayette, Richardson said, was on LSU's schedule in 2009, and the prospect of playing a game against his brother was a unique attraction.
"My mother would have been able to see us both," Richardson said. "But I think I chose the right place."
Richardson's choice has led him to a national championship in 2009 and a career record of 32-3 since he arrived at Alabama. Approaching 1,000 rushing yards for the season, the junior said he continues to feel strong late into the season. With an idle date this weekend, Richardson will travel home to Pensacola, like many UA players.
"My body is probably in the best condition it has been in since I've been in college, and now I get a break and my body is going to feel even better when I come back," Richardson said.
"Last Saturday was probably the loudest I've ever heard it since being here. Even when our offense was out there on the field, we were trying to make adjustments on the sideline and I couldn't hear what coach (Kirby) Smart was saying. I was just looking at the whiteboard and reading what he was trying to say." - UA linebacker Dont'a Hightower on the Bryant-Denny Stadium noise during UA's win over Tennessee.
Did you know?
The last LSU running back to rush for over 100 yards against Alabama was Kevin Faulk, who ran for 201 in Baton Rouge against UA in 1998, only to lose to the Crimson Tide 22-16.

Tribes Sue Over School Agency
By Martin Salazar
Copyright © 2006 Albuquerque Journal; Journal Northern Bureau
New Mexico's Pueblo Indians and Navajos have filed lawsuits over the federal government's decision to revamp the agency that oversees tribal schools.
Both the Eight Northern Indian Pueblos Council and the All Indian Pueblo Council have taken federal officials to court over the matter, arguing in their lawsuit that they weren't properly consulted about the reorganization and that the new system funds more high-level bureaucrats at the expense of programs that benefit students.
The Navajo Nation, the country's largest Indian tribe, filed a lawsuit over the reorganization in July. Attorneys for the Navajo Nation and the federal government have been meeting to work out a settlement.
The Pueblo Indian plaintiffs have succeeded, for now, in keeping the U.S. Interior Department and the Bureau of Indian Affairs from moving forward with their plans.
Preliminary injunction
A U.S. district judge in Albuquerque granted a preliminary injunction last month, ordering the federal government to cease restructuring of the Bureau of Indian Education. He denied another request to force the federal government to undo the changes it has already made.
While U.S. District Judge William P. Johnson found that there was no credible evidence to support the plaintiffs' contention that money had been diverted away from Indian education programs to pay for the restructuring, he did find that the plaintiffs would likely prevail on their claim that the federal government failed to engage in "meaningful consultation" with the tribes about the reorganization.
The preliminary injunction only applies to bureau education operations in New Mexico, and it specifically allows federal officials to fill vacant positions.
Johnson's order states that the preliminary injunction is to remain in effect until the Interior Department and BIA comply with statutes and policy mandating government-to-government, meaningful consultation with tribal entities.
Ann Berkley Rodgers, one of the Albuquerque attorneys representing the Indian organizations in the lawsuit, said her clients are pleased with the preliminary injunction.
"We will be going on, seeking a permanent injunction unless the U.S. starts really working with the pueblos," Rodgers said. She said she's hopeful the federal government and pueblos can come together and work out a settlement to avoid a full trial.
Federal response
Justice Department attorney Daniel E. Bensing declined to comment on the case.
But in a court filing, department lawyers argue that the federal government has no choice but to move forward with reorganization to improve the educational system for Indian students.
According to the Justice Department filing:
The Bureau of Indian Education provides annual school funding for more than 47,000 Indian students in 184 schools and indirectly serves more than 400,000 students through several programs.
Before restructuring, the Bureau of Indian Education responsibilities were administered by 23 mid-level field managers called educational line officers who operated offices that directly oversaw schools. All 23 managers reported to the deputy director of the Bureau of Indian Education, creating a bottleneck, federal officials contend.
The reorganization plan calls for reducing the number of educational line officers and adding a new tier of supervisors between the Bureau of Indian Education deputy director and the educational line officers.
Three associate deputy directors would be added under the plan, the Justice Department filing says. Educational professionals trained to design programs to improve student performance would also be hired and made available to Indian schools under the plan.
According to the Justice Department filing, students in Indian schools haven't performed well and under the No Child Left Behind Act, the schools are required to substantially improve the performance of their students.
The No Child Left Behind Act, an initiative of President Bush's administration, penalizes schools if students don't meet certain standards in reading and math tests. The act mandates that every public school student be at grade level for reading and math by 2014.
Currently, only 30 percent of BIE funded schools are meeting Adequate Yearly Progress goals.
"Under these circumstances, blithely continuing with the status quo system of management, administrative oversight and resource allocation, is simply inconsistent with the Bureau of Indian Education's responsibilities to all children in bureau-funded Indian schools," the filing states.
The federal government also asserts that no bureau-funded Indian school has lost or will lose any funding as a result of the restructuring.
"The FY 2006 funds to pay for the restructuring have come from the reprogramming of $1.5 million in funds allocated to a 'Leadership Academy' initiative that was never implemented," the DOJ filing states. It also states that none of the funding changes that have occurred since the restructuring was announced was related to the restructuring.
And the federal government also maintains that it fulfilled its obligation to consult with tribes before implementing the reorganization.
Plaintiffs disagree
But Rodgers, the attorney representing Eight Northern Indian Pueblos Council and the All Indian Pueblo Council, disagrees.
"You can't hide the fact that budgets were cut and programs were lost," Rodgers said. She said that more than $4 million was taken from programs to benefit tribes to pay for the reorganization and for new super-salaries for the additional level of bureaucracy.
Rodgers added that the manner in which federal officials consulted with tribes on the reorganization "was totally insulting to all of the tribes and it totally ignored the notion that tribes have concerns about schools that serve their students."
She said federal officials failed to adhere to the rules that set out what "meaningful consultation" is. The federal government clearly didn't listen to tribal concerns about the reorganization, Rodgers said. Instead, she said, the federal government swooped in from Washington with a one-size-fits-all plan.
"It doesn't make sense how creating new bureaucracy in Washington is going to increase student performance in schools," Rogers said. She said tribal leaders ultimately want to see the money going to the local levels to assist students in schools.
Rodgers said she has heard that two other lawsuits have been filed by tribes over the reorganization, including the one by the Navajo Nation.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why Sarah Ann Macklin has become one of the most sought-after models in the UK. The British beauty is featured in a photo editorial for the magazine's October 2012 issue.
Macklin doesn't pretend to have struggled to get where she is. As she explains, "I got spotted in a queue at a festival when I was 17. And suddenly I was in London, meeting all these agencies." She then continued by saying, "I signed with Select [the modeling agency], and I got my first job that afternoon — it was amazing!"
The model also opened up about her relationship with David Gandy by explaining how they went from acquaintances to lovers. "We'd known each other for a few years, but at [the] Bafta party, we just clicked. We ended up playing six rounds of Jenga! It actually got quite competitive."

Horse-meat contamination found in Polish beef
Horse DNA has been found in beef stored at three cool stores in Poland.
The country's General Veterinary Inspectorate said it had found three tainted samples from 121 tested.
Further testing is under way to confirm the percentage of horse meat in the beef.
Eighty more samples have yet to be examined.
Deputy National Veterinarian Janusz Zwiazek said the samples came from cold storage facilities at processing plants in central Poland. The meat had been sourced from suppliers in Poland and abroad.
Polish lawmakers have been angered over allegations that beef sourced from the country may have been responsible for the contamination of processed beef products in several European countries.
These are the first tests in an extensive programme in Poland to reveal the presence of horse meat.
The horse-meat contamination scandal erupted in mid January, when the food watchdog in the Irish Republic announced results on the testing of beef burgers, which revealed a significant number of tested products were tainted with horse meat.
In the worst case, one burger proved to be 29 per cent horse meat.
Testing throughout Europe has since revealed similar contamination across a range of processed beef products.

text: It is crystal and abundantly clear that the issues which concern public relations professionals vary from organization to organization and from industry to industry. In spite of this, several issues concern all practitioners, especially as the field continues to become increasingly respected and to improve its credibility. In other words, no country or administration can do without public relations nationally and internationally. This is because it will go a long way to project and protect their image at all levels. However, public relations, despite its worldwide acceptability as a profession, are often misunderstood. This misconception is not only restricted to its practice as a profession but also embedded in its position in the organization and quality of personnel employed as practitioners by some organization, mostly in the third world countries where the popularity of the profession is relatively new. It is flabbergasting to say that the belief of many neophytes in the profession that public relations does not go beyond the hiring of any nonentity to sell lies (publicity) to the members of the public is a dangerous dichotomy. It is a truism to say that public relations practice goes beyond that. Goodwill and mutual understanding between an organization and the relevant publics which the profession strives to achieve can only be accomplished in good products or services, branding, packaging, acceptable and well thoughtout marketing strategies, good and reliable customer relations. Community relations and information devoid of outright fabrication and fantasies. Whatever the case may be, for public relations to continue to grow, a solid educational foundation for public relations students must be put in place. However, the practitioners have two key stakes in public relations education that is, future employees, and the future profession itself. In the last few years, the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) and other similar organizations in some countries have focused on the formal education of public relations students and practitioners. Among the highlights of a design for undergraduate in public relations education, authered by the Public Relations Division of the Association For Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, the Educator's section of PRSA, and PRSA itself were as follows; two subjects tied for the highest ratings by practitioners and educators. English (within general education) and an internship/practicum/ work study programme(within public relations education). It is recommended that public relations students, especially those planning to enter the corporate or agency world, give strong consideration to business as their secondary area of study. The traditional arts and sciences remain the solid basis for the undergraduate education of public relations students, essential to their professional functioning in a complex society. As a result, the report indicated strong agreement between practitioners and educators on the ideal content of undergraduate public relations education. Basically, strong emphasis was placed on communications studies, public relations principles and practices, and ethics. The report further concluded that the growing cooperation and relationships between professionals in the practice of public relations and in education should be nurtured and strengthened to benefit today's students in the field. Indeed, most practitioners agree that internships in the field are crucial to nurturing the next generation of public relations professionals. No doubt, budget has hindered the effectiveness of public relations practice. This is because most top management staffers see budgeting for public relations programmes as irrelevant , expensive and in fact, a colossal loss to the organization. As a result, whatever is presented by the practitioner as budget for public relations practice is put in oblivion in other words waste paper basket. This budgetary issue reminds one of the position or place of public relations director in an organization. For public relations personnel to function efficiently and effectively, he must not only participate in decisions that have to do with policies of the organization but also be one of the decision makers, succinctly put, he must be a member of the organization team. If this is so, he will be able to influence decisions that will enhance the performance of his duties thus enabling him to create and sustain the much needed goodwill and mutual understanding between his organization and relevant publics. One thing that is baffling in most organization is that the position of the PR man in most organizations is such that he is nothing but a ''glorified errand boy; who only act based on the dictates of his employer and perhaps carries bags for his boss or books, booking of hotel for visitors. Certainly, the profession of the PR man in this sort of circumstance is candidly misconceived. In addition, one can see PR as a misunderstood profession because of the quality of practitioners. It is clear that most employers engage just anybody as a PR man once he is able to speak the Queen's language fluently and wear attractive shirt and tie with a pair to match and well polished shoes. This is a sad commentary on the practice of the profession. It is true to say that a practitioner must apart from being professionally trained, be highly knowledgeable, excellently articulate, creative, innovative, and in fact be a ''catalyst''. A practitioner must not be half baked or non-baked at all. Inevitably, as public relations has enhanced its role in society and increased its respect within organizations, the field itself has attracted others, lawyers, accountants, personnel managers and general managers of varying backgrounds. In view of the fact that in some organizations, the public relations is usually close to top management and because access is power in an organization, the role occupied by public relations has become a coveted one. Frankly speaking, incursions into public relations by others in an organization have intensified. Public relations practitioners must use their special expertise and unique experience to reinforce their prominent positions in the organizational hierarchy. It appears that one antidote for the incursion into the field by others is for public relations professions to become well-versed in the multiplying array of issues that concern organizations and relevant publics. The issues that capture public attention are diverse and rapidly changing. This suggests that the truly successful practitioner in the years ahead must stay abreast of the changing issues that dominate public discourse. There is need for public relations professionals of today to be sensitive to public criticism. Thirty years ago, public relations practitioners were anonymous. They operated as faceless spokespersons, and behind-the-scenes operatives. Currently with the ascension of the practice of public relations, practitioners have had to do away with their anonymity. Newspapers and magazines insist on quoting public relations practitioners by name and assume that they speak as policy-makers. In recent years, this has forced public relations executives into the spotlight, often embarrassingly, when they are targeted in unethical or questionable dealings. Finally, there is the need for the government at all tiers, organizations and the society at large including traditional institutions and churches to apply public relations for the benefit of the relevant publics. Even God applied public relations when he said ''let us create man in our own image and likeness'' Charles Ikedikwa Soeze, fhnr, fcida, fcai, fswc, chnr, cpae, son, emba, ksq is a mass communication scholar from first degree to doctoral level, public affairs analyst and currently Assistant Director (Administration)/ Head, Academic and Physical Planning (A&PP) at the Petroleum Training Institute (P T I ), Effurun, Delta State, Nigeria.

Kingfisher, Europe's biggest home improvement retailer, has launched a €275m takeover bid for France's Mr Bricolage, moving to strengthen its position in its most profitable market.
The firm runs market leader B&Q in Ireland and the UK and already trades as Castorama and Brico Depot in France.
It said it had entered into exclusive negotiations with the main investors of Mr Bricolage to buy their shareholdings.
It has proposed to acquire 41.9% of the share capital of Mr Bricolage from the Association Nationale des Promoteurs de Faites Le Vous-Mene (ANPF), a group of franchisees, and 26.2% from the Tabur family, at an agreed price of €15 a share.
Subsequently, it would make a mandatory offer to acquire the shares held by the minority shareholders at the same price. At this level, and including net debt, the overall enterprise value of the deal would be around €275m.
Kingfisher said the whole process was likely to take until the end of its 2014-15 financial year.
Under the deal, also conditional upon competition clearance, Mr Bricolage's existing franchisee and affiliate network would be maintained and its members offered improved commercial terms.
Kingfisher entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Mr Bricolage's principal shareholders yesterday.
That marked the start of exclusive negotiations during which the operating businesses of Mr Bricolage and of Kingfisher in France will meet with their respective works councils and the improved commercial terms will be proposed to the franchisees of Mr Bricolage.
Depending on the outcome, a binding agreement would be entered into.


text: Just glanced at the newest ish at the bookstore. I sent my subscribe card in a little while ago, and I hope this isssue will by my first. Anyhow, since I've been enjoying my Denon 2900 for a few weeks now, I was interested in the multi format DVD player article, and if I was reading the columns correctly, the 2900 is listed as NOT being DTS compatible and NOT having onboard DTS decoding. It also lists the Deonon as having HDCD decoding. None of this is, of course, true. I wish the 2900 had HDCD decoding but alas I suppose we can't have everything for this price. And it certainly DOES do a beautiful job of decoding DTS soundtracks as LOTR and Gladiator were the first discs I popped into the 2900. Just bringing this to the attention of the proper authorities, and I do look forward to my subscription.

text: Posted November 10, 2013 · Report post So this is my first time posting as up til now I have been happy browsing others posts and seeing there struggles and success but I feel now I need, if only for myself, to chart my own feelings towards acne and have a way to see how my skin changes now I am seeking treatment. So a little history. I have had mild, hormonal acne from the age of 17 on and off. When my acne first surfaced it was obvious straight away that I couldn't cope with the changes in my appearance and I soon developed depression as a direct result. I would miss school and stay home just obsessing about my skin, pouring on lotion after lotion. I finally went to the doctor and seeing my distress they put me on dianette and retin a. This worked....however it worked as I stayed home for months applying retin a 4-5 times a day to my chin so that it would peel off all the spots and layers of skin and then I would spend weeks applying cream to stop the dryness. I was clear until my early twenties when I forgot I needed to keep up treatment and stopped the pill...again tho I went back on the same dianette and retin a combo and did the same thing again, hiding away until I had managed to ruin and then heal my skin. At the age of 27 I became pregnant ( on dianette) and during my pregnancy my skin was the best it had ever been. I needed no creams of lotions and potions as I really did glow. Fast forward til now and I am 32 and my son almost 5 and the last year my skin has progressively got worse...going from two spots a month before my period to two or three painful pustules a week. As my skin worsened so did my depression and earlier this year was so depressed that I couldn't eat, sleep or generally function and was diagnosed with clinical depression. Not one person could see or would believe that my 'mild' acne could cause such feelings until recently a physiologist diagnosed me with body dysmorphic disorder. This is where the sufferer sees flaws that are either not there or see a mild flaw in their appearance as severe. Anyway they have put me back on my same routine and I have now been taking dianette for 3 weeks and using retin a once a night for a week with the addition of Bp in the morning. So far I have had no change in my skin, my chin has lots of red marks plus one big sore spot and there is one sore big spot on my right lower cheek. I only break out on the sides of my chin and lower part of my cheek. My skin is also starting to peel slightly on my chin so make looks crap but I can not bear to go out without it. Anyway I plan to update every few days, so I can hopefully see my progress and keep positive as currently I am in a deep dark place emotionally so as well as trying to help my skin I am trying to help my mind and heart too...it's a very trying time. Any words of encouragement would be lovely as what drew me to acne org was the wonderful community and support you guys offer each other. X Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(WASHINGTON) — Long lost sisters Jordan Dickerson and Robin Jeter had lived in the same city for 17 years, but they never crossed paths until their high schools faced off at a Washington, D.C., track meet.
The two teens began to suspect they had more than sports in common when Dickerson's teammates at Woodrow Wilson High School noticed that a rival runner from Friendship Collegiate Academy bore a striking resemblance to their friend.
"Everyone was saying, 'It's your twin, look at your twin over there!'" Dickerson's mother, Patrice Dickerson, told ABC News of the chance encounter. "They were freaked out by how much they resembled each other."
"We were just scoping each other out," Jordan Dickerson told ABC News. "I was trying to look for her [at the track meet] to see how much she looked like me."
By the end of the event, Jordan finally worked up the courage to ask someone who that other girl was.
"They told me her name was Robin Jeter. I had previously known my birth name was Jeter. The reality instantly hit me that she was my sister," Jordan said.
"She knew," her mother said, "and she immediately started crying."
"I was crying in the middle of the bleachers for no reason. It was embarrassing," Jordan said.
Patrice Dickerson adopted Jordan when she was only 3 months old. She said she had been open with her daughter about her adoption as well as the possibility that she might have siblings.
Mrs. Dickerson said the two girls eventually approached each other at the meet and exchanged phone numbers. But Jordan did not broach the subject that the two could be related until Jeter called that same night.
"I didn't want to say, 'Oh you know you're my sister' right then at the track meet,'" Jordan said.
When the teens spoke, they talked about their childhoods, Mrs. Dickerson said. The two realized they were sisters when Jordan shared that she was adopted and that her birth mother's name was Jeter.
The sisters also learned they were born nearly nine months apart. Jordan is the younger sister at 17. Jeter is 18.
"Both of them were thrilled," Patrice Dickerson said of their discovery.
Since their reunion in January, the two teens have been trying to make up for lost time.
"Robin has been able to spend most weekends with us at my house with Jordan and myself, and we're able to go do family things," Patrice said. "They spend a lot of time with the door closed, giggling."
"We have the same mannerisms, we like the same foods, we have the same shoe size, we talk the same, we run the same in track," Jordan said. "We're so much the same that I haven't really thought of ways we're different."
For Mother's Day, Jordan met her biological mother for the first time.
"Jordan had been looking forward to this moment her whole life. As a result, so did I," said Patrice Dickerson. "The meeting went better than I could have dreamed."
While Jeter currently lives with a legal guardian, she lived with her mother at a point in time, Patrice said.
As Jeter prepares to graduate high school, and Jordan gears up to enter her senior year in the fall, the two are trying to spend time together before they won't have the opportunity to do so.
In the meantime, the two girls will both attend prom at Jeter's high school on May 30.

Matthews Shines as Vanderbilt Wins the BBVA Compass Bowl
ABC Digital
Updated at
(BIRMINGHAM, AL) — Jordan Matthews hauled in a pair of 50-yard touchdown passes from Patton Robinette as Vanderbilt defeated Houston 41-24 in the BBVA Compass Bowl.
Robinette added a rushing touchdown to help the Commodores (9-4) build a 24-0 lead.
Houston (8-5) rallied to tie the game at 24 going into the fourth quarter. Vanderbilt's Brian Kimbrow took a direct snap 21 yards into the endzone to give the Commodores the lead for good.
"The thing that's interesting about this team is they know how to win," Vanderbilt head coach James Franklin said. "It's not always pretty, it's not always sexy, but they find ways to win and that's why I'm so proud of them."
Matthews was named the game's MVP after catching five passes for 143 yards and two scores. He became the SEC's all-time leader in receptions this season.
Vanderbilt closed out its season with five consecutive victories.

Have Toyota Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello and thank you for choosing just answer.
In order to better assist you I need to know if you have automatic or manual A\C heater controls.
automatic a/c control - control by adjust temp from 65 to 85 degree
OK check the following fuses:
15A heater
See if any of them is blown.
Does the panel come on at all? Or no response to anything?
Anything else not working other than the clock and heater controls?
panel not on at all, No clock, heater , ac , deforst rear window or deforst winshield
I don't have that skill - better bring to auto shop.
OK, I will explain what will happen and what to expect.
The person who's going to work on the vehicle will take out the panel and will check for power and ground to the unit, if you have both then the problem is with the unit itself and it will need to be replaced. If either power or ground is missing then they will follow the wiring to determine where is the broken wire and fix it and recheck.
Knowing toyota and having experience with them I have seen more heater control panels go out than wires get broken. Unless there's a problem with the fuses or the junction block then the panel would be the next suspect. But you can't just assume this and replace that expensive panel to find out it's a broken wire that's why there has to be a check before determining it's the panel itself.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
OK thank you for the tip

Leak Down Test - This was supposed to be easy!
Short version:
What Leak Down Tester will work with Jeep 4.0L engines???
Long version:
It happens to me all the time...an easy project takes WAY longer than expected for some stupid issue...
I've got a used 4.0L engine in my garage of unknown quality. I thought I would do a leak down test, and bought an OTC 5609 tester from Amazon.
The threads on the M14 adapter in the kit won't reach the threads in the spark plug holes. :(
That kit is going back, but now I need a different kit. Can anybody recommend a kit that will definitely work with the 4.0L engine?
Answering my own post...
I really hated to do it, but I bought the H****r F*****t Leak Down Tester. It was $33, and about half the price of the OTC 5609 from Amazon. It looks like the 14mm adapter is a little longer, so it should at least screw into the hole. I'll post back some more thoughts after I actually use it.
I used the Harbor Freight leak down tester earlier this week. It was a little finicky to use, but it got the job done. And the 14mm adapter worked fine with the 4.0L heads. The instructions are dead wrong about how to use it. (Hint: download the instruction PDF from the HF website - it had correct information). The error in the instructions was to "zero" out the meter with the spark plug hose unplugged. Then, plug in the hose. The manual has the instructions in the wrong order.
The ZJ 4.0L engine that I bought supposedly had 150K on it, but who really knows - it was already out of the vehicle. The leakdown tester showed pretty bad leakage past the rings on all cylinders. In the HF gauge, I was at 70-80% leakage on all cylinders. I didn't pay much for the engine, and I can get my money back out of it by selling the head, accessories and parts off of it. Or maybe it'll be the start of a stroker build!

One upon a time, my job consisted of inserting commercial spots into television shows on the weekends and late at night (because, if you turned the transmitter off too often, it might not come back on.) As such, I got to watch an astounding array of (mostly syndicated) television, from Poltergeist: The Legacy (low-rent monsters) to The Queen Of Swords (low-rent gender-swapped Zorro knockoffery) to the wonder that was Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (actually a quality program, once you get past a wobbly debut season.) I even got to enjoy that glorious ode to the 1980s known as 'Team Knight Rider,' a show that chose to end its first season with a massive cliffhanger, once again proving the words of Cicero, who opined that "Hope springs eternal in the human breast." From the success of Xena and Hercules to… whatever Cleopatra 2525 was, these show are essentially the TV equivalent of the comics and pulp magazines I have always loved: quick entertainment, made on the cheap to fill an empty hour with a grand adventure or two, which leads us to today's first-run query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, "misquoted") still has a fondness for the first couple of seasons of 'Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda', especially Trance Gemini, the mysterious purple girl from the future (or something), asking: What's your favorite weird weekends-and-late-nights only syndicated television vice?

I really liked Jack of All Trades but that may just be because of Bruce Campbell. The most I recall from any of those was having some background noise to my Saturday afternoon naps. I remember watching Thunder in Paradise more than a handful of times but I could not tell you what happened at all. The same goes for Relic Hunter.
OK, it's not late night but it was syndicated… as a kid most fell into the Knight Rider camp… me, I always thought – why drive when you can fly? So, I was a Stingfellow / Dom kinda guy, and always dreamed of taking "The Lady" out for a spin… yes, I love and miss Airwolf.
that – and the theme music synth was just cool in the 80s…
Before it was picked up by the Sci Fi network, I would watch Stargate SG-1 at 1 am every Saturday on my local Fox affiliate. Not exactly a guilty pleasure, because it is quality television, at least after a few rough patches in the first couple of seasons. I think Richard Dean Anderson sold it more than anything else.
Mystery Science Theater and Kung Fu theater come to mind almost immediately. I truly miss the Saturday matinees that would do marathon sessions of Planet of the Apes movies or the aforementioned kung fu movies.
The CGI show, Roughnecks: Starship Trooper Chronicles. It was a hybrid of Verhoeven's movie and the book, but without the political overtones.
Being syndicated, it jumped timeslots constantly. Forty episodes were planned, 35 were made and aired.
Does "Forever Knight" count? While it did run on CBS for a time, I mostly remember seeing it in late night syndication until Sci-Fi Channel picked it up for a while.
"Highlander: The Series" is also still one of my favorites (although I still despise the spinoff, "Highlander: The Raven", which was shown at 2:00 AM Sunday Morning, right after the not entirely unbearable "The Crow: Stairway to Heaven" on my local channel).
And I also somewhat enjoyed the very brief "Tracker", which starred the stars of both of my previous choices.
La Femme Nikita was great late night viewing to wind down to after finishing a very late shift.
Red Dwarf on PBS. Came on super late on saturdays.
What happened to original syndicated TV shows? There used to be tons of them out there (Star Trek: TNG, DS9, Hercules, Xena, Andromeda, etc.), but I don't think I've seen any on air since Legend of the Seeker.

Tom (Or anyone else who is good with PostgreSQL statistics), I am in the process of transitioning from postgreSQL 6.5.3 to postgreSQL 7.0. I ran into an issue where a sequential scan is being choosen on postgreSQL 7.0 where an index scan was choosen on postgreSQL 6.5.3. Note: All tables have been freshly vacuum'd and analyzed. procman=# select version(); version ------------------------------------------------------------------- PostgreSQL 7.0.0 on hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00, compiled by gcc 2.95.2 (1 row) procman=# explain select count(catagory) from medusa where host_id = 404 and catagory like 'A%'; NOTICE: QUERY PLAN: Aggregate (cost=189546.19..189546.19 rows=1 width=12) -> Seq Scan on medusa (cost=0.00..189529.43 rows=6704 width=12) EXPLAIN Note: The above query produces an index scan on postgreSQL 6.5.3. procman=# set enable_seqscan = off; SET VARIABLE procman=# explain select count(catagory) from medusa where host_id = 404 and catagory like 'A%'; NOTICE: QUERY PLAN: Aggregate (cost=207347.36..207347.36 rows=1 width=12) -> Index Scan using medusa_host_id_key on medusa (cost=0.00..207330.60 rows=6704 width=12) EXPLAIN Here are the statistics: procman=# select attname,attdisbursion,s.* procman-# from pg_statistic s, pg_attribute a, pg_class c procman-# where starelid = c.oid and attrelid = c.oid and staattnum = attnum procman-# and relname = 'medusa'; attname | attdisbursion | starelid | staattnum | staop | stanullfrac | stacommonfrac | stacommonval | staloval | stahival -----------+---------------+----------+-----------+-------+-------------+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------- --------------------------------------+----------------------------------------- host_id | 0.00621312 | 30874288 | 1 | 97 | 0 | 0.0279425 | 446 | 0 | 11011 (1 row) Here is my analysis of the stastics (based on the examples in the archive). The most common value host_id in the table is 446 with row fraction of ~ 2.8%. The estimated number of rows in the index is 6704. This table has 4,630,229 entries in the table. Hopefully this analysis is correct, if not .. please correct me :) I do not understand why the planner would choose a seqscan over the index scan because 6704/4,630,229 is ~ 0.15%.
