Most likely in response to yet another client insisting on riddling their pages with holes created by double spaces after their periods, a colleague asked me for advice. In an effort to provide her with some ammunition to help bring down the offending parties, I composed for er the following:
"Is there some definitive statement that I can quote these days about NOT putting two spaces after each period in a paragraph? At first I thought it was just those who grew up with typewriters without proportional lettering that had merely developed a habit, but I see it in some things and I would just like to know if there is any basis for routinely hitting the spacebar twice anymore?"
"After the period at the end of a sentence or abbreviation, the space should be the normal one used between the words of the line. Only in widely spaced lines is it permitted to leave a larger gap, and in this case, commas and hyphens should be treated the same way (Tschishold, 1937, pp 95–96)."
"In the nineteenth century, which was a dark and inflationary age in typography and type design, many compositors were encouraged to stuff extra space between sentences. Generations of twentieth-century typists were then taught to do the same, by hitting the spacebar twice after every period. Your typing as well an your typesetting will benefit from unlearning this quaint Victorian habit. As a general rule, no more than a single space is required after a period, a colon or any other punctuation. Larger spaces (e.g., en spaces) are themselves punctuation (Bringhurst, 2004, pp 29–30)."
"Words should also be kept at a safe, regular distance from eachother, so that you can rely on the next one to appear when you're ready for it (Spiekermann, 1993, p. 123)."
"One rule to remember about line space is that it needs to be larger than the space between words, otherwise your eye would be inclined to travel from the word on the first line directly to the word on the line belowWhen the space is correct your eye will first make the journey along one line before it continues on to the next (Spiekermann, 1993, p. 125),"
"The perceptive senses take in shapes which are related together by proximity and contour. We are taught to read our code system horizontally from left to right and it is primarily this 'conditioning' that enables the eye to follow badly spaced copy where the interlinear space appears less than that between words. The horizontal left to right movement can clearly be differentiated from the vertical downward movement by keeping the word space to a minimum (Swann, 1969, p. 41)."
"The opening out of lines to create a clear difference between the interlinear gap and the word-spacing is common practice when ease of reading is requited. In this way, the danger of optical bridging between lines is reduced (Hartley, 1978, p. 22)."
"The typewriter tradition of separating sentences with two word spaces after a period has no place in typesetting. The custom began with the characters of monospaced typefaces used on typewriters were so wide and so open that a single word space—one the same width as a character, including the period—was not wide enough to create a sufficient space between the sentences. Proportionately spaced fonts, though, contain word spaces specifically designed to play the sentence-separating role perfectly. Because of this, a double word space at the end of creates an obvious hole in the line (Felici, 2003, p. 80)."
and finally…
"What? you say! Yes—for years you've been told to hit two spaces after periods, and on a typewriter, you should. But this is not a typewriter.
On a typewriter, all the characters are monospaced; that is, they each take up the same amount of space—the letter [i] takes up as much space as the letter [m]. Because they are monospaced, you need to type two spaces after periods to separate one sentence from the next. But…
On a Macintosh, (unless you"re using the fonts Monaco or Courier, which are monospaced just like a typewriter and what you would want to use anyway) the characters are proportional; that is, they each take up a proportional amount of space—the letter [i] takes up about one fifth the space as the letter [m]. So you no longer need extra spaces to separate the sentences (Williams, 1990, p. 13),"
Final answer
Unless you are using a monospaced typeface such as Courier, do NOT use two spaces after a period. If the afore mentioned references aren't not enough to muscle a client into submission, lay down your arms and surrender. That, or call in the big guns. At the end of the day, shitty type costs them the same as good type.

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Airbnb users in San Francisco will only be allowed to post one listing to one address at a time starting Nov. 1, the company announced Tuesday.
The new restrictions come in the midst of the city's battle to regulate Airbnb.
In April, the short-term accommodation site announced that commercial operators were not allowed to use the site in San Francisco.
Since then 213 entire-unit listings and 525 shared spaces, or "hacker hostels," have been removed from the site by Airbnb. In addition, 180 entire-unit listings were voluntarily removed by hosts with multiple listings.
"The vast majority of Airbnb hosts in San Francisco are hard-working, middle-class residents who use their extra space to address economic inequality," Airbnb officials said in a statement.
Home sharing is also an economic boon to the city, driving over $338 million in economic impact to the city, including $107 million spent by guests at restaurants, mostly in neighborhoods outside downtown," the statement said.
The city is also trying to require registering of short-term rental properties and impose time limits on rentals.
Board of Supervisors president London Breed and Supervisor Aaron Peskin on Oct. 12 introduced new legislation that would impose a 60-night annual cap on short-term rentals, regardless of whether the host is on-site or not, a sharp reduction from the current 90-night limit for un-hosted rentals and 365-night limit for hosted rentals.

Barriers tend to intensify romance. It's called the 'Romeo and Juliet effect.' I call it 'frustration attraction.'
Men tend to be hierarchical, but women are driven to make lateral connections so they can cooperate.
Psychologists maintain that the dizzying feeling of intense romantic love lasts only about 18 months to – at best – three years.
There are cognitive processes and limbic reactions associated with basic emotions. And you can change brain chemistry, but you're still not going to change memories and experiences in a human being.
Almost always, when I'm on TV, the producers who call me, who negotiate what we're going to say, is a woman.
My hypothesis is that conservative Republicans have very clear values, and when you have that, you're simply more relaxed.
As societies continue to loosen their standards regarding what is appropriate female and male behavior, I think we are going to realize we have not only underestimated women, but also men.
When somebody leaves Match.com or Chemistry.com, they ask you why you left. One box you can check is, 'I found somebody.' Between 15 and 20 percent of people check that box.
The Great Depression of the 1930s saw more American unmarried women working from nine to five, mostly in repetitive, boring, subordinate, dead-end jobs. But the number of working women doubled between 1870 and 1940. During World War II it doubled once again.
Once you fall for someone, their smell can be a powerful thing. Women will wear their boyfriends' T-shirts, and throughout tales in history men have held on to their lover's handkerchief.
The human brain is built to compare; it's Darwinian to consider an alternative when one presents itself.
You fall in love with somebody who fits within what I call your 'love map,' an unconscious list of traits that you build in childhood as you grow up. And I also think that you gravitate to certain people, actually, with somewhat complementary brain systems.
Despite the myth that men are less committed, they are predisposed to desire marriage.
You've got to remember that men are men and women are women. And although a lot of similarities, there are some real differences.
Women spend their lives trying to look good for men. So a woman who feels she's sending the right visual signals is pleased with herself.
Why do we feel jealousy? Therapists often regard the demon as a scar of childhood trauma or a symptom of a psychological problem. And it's true that people who feel inadequate, insecure, or overly dependent tend to be more jealous than others.
The only people you and I are likely to know in common are people in the news – politicians, journalists and celebrities.
You know, when you've been dumped, the one thing you love to do is just forget about this human being, and then go on with your life – but no, you just love them harder.
Sometimes we fall in love with somebody who will probably never love us, for reasons having nothing to do with us but with their own mindset, their chemistry.
More and more of us live segmented, compartmentalized lives. This isn't natural. For millions of years, our forebears knew everyone around them and everyone knew them.
Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere; some say the poorest in the world.
In that early-love stage, you're in that state of exhilaration. You talk till dawn. You become obsessed with 'What does he think?' 'Does he like me?' 'Does he think I'm fat?'
Blushing is thought to be linked to increased levels of norepinephrine in the brain, which may be associated with romantic feelings. It signals that we are interested and excited, which is attractive to men.
You can get into a very fancy car and know everything about the engine, but when you drive in that car, you feel that rush. In the same way, I think the more you know about love, the more you can enjoy it. And knowing about your personality type, who you are and what kind of person you're dealing with gives you a great leg up.
We evolved in a tropical climate where the smells of plants and flowers were all around us. We spent a lot of time in the trees with a lot of sunlight and no clothes.
Liberals and conservatives are looking for entirely different things. Their attitudes toward romance and how they court are really dramatically different. There's almost no overlap.
When you're in the throes of this romantic love, it's overwhelming – you're out of control, you're irrational, you're going to the gym at 6 A.M. every day – Why? Because she's there.
There exists no culture in which adultery is unknown, no cultural device or code that extinguishes philandering.
A lot of people head into courtship looking for fireworks. Don't pass up a chance by dumping someone after a first date because you don't feel the fireworks. The fireworks can happen at any time and be maintained.
Of all the foods we share, there is nothing more primordial than meat. It's no surprise that meat-eaters still want a partner who will give, receive and share this primordial symbol of a budding partnership.
Men couldn't care less if your strands are perfectly styled and neat. In fact, he might like you more with some wildness or bedhead, since it shows you're carefree and relaxed.
It certainly would have been adaptive for ancestral man to have a chubby wife during stressful times of famine. Not only would she have had more calories to burn, and thus more energy and endurance, but since fat stores estrogen, she would have remained fertile for longer.
Scientists know that women gravitate to men who have a different immune system from theirs.
A woman of 40 or 50 or 60 can take estrogen replacements, get facelifts, spend her money in bars.
As women in industrial societies join the paid workforce, they gain the economic means to depart unhappy marriages more easily.
Any kind of novelty or excitement drives up dopamine in the brain, and dopamine is associated with romantic love.
A hundred years ago, if you had a child out of marriage, you'd be a social disgrace. Today women feel comfortable enough economically and culturally to bring up a child without a recognized commitment from a man.
The Internet lets women use words, which is their natural tool. Little girls speak in more complex, grammatical sentences than little boys do, and women never lose that superiority in verbal ability.
Both sexes like the exercise and challenge of sports, but for men it's also a basic display behavior for impressing and winning a mate.
At first I assumed hate was the opposite of love. But it isn't. The opposite of love is indifference.
Nobody gets out of love alive. You turn into a menace or a pest when you've been rejected.
I can't conceive of caring more about my president than my own partner.
Overdone lipstick is a deterrent to men. It rubs off easily onto their skin and the edges of their shirts, so it discourages them from kissing, touching, and coming closer to you, which is what they really want to do!
From my studies of genetics and neuroscience I have come to believe that people fall into four broad personality types – each influenced by a different brain chemical: I call them the Explorer, Builder, Director, and Negotiator.
Experiences shape the brain, but the brain shapes the way we view experiences, too.
We're not very dangerous animals; we don't have a horn like a rhino or quills like a porcupine.
Romantic love allows you to focus mating energy. Attachment sustains that relationship as long as necessary to raise your baby.
We still have community, but we don't seem to have local community. Even in a small town where you know your neighbors and your mother's down the street, they're not in arm's length.
Most of us make up our minds in the first three minutes of meeting someone whether there's a potential for a relationship.
Kissing is not just kissing. It is a major escalation or de-escalation point in a powerful process of mate choice.
You can really get poked in the back and not feel it very much, but just a feather around your lips and you really do feel it.
Young women today do not marry the men they met in high school, or even the one they go out with at college, because they do not need to.
Games are the way we keep romance alive. They're based in human hardwiring. Playing hard-to-get or leaving a little to the imagination allows the woman to be wooed and appreciated and the man to be challenged and intrigued.
Women have a better sense of smell than men do, and it's even sharper in the middle of their menstrual cycle, when estrogen levels peak and women are more likely to be deciding whether a man's attractive.
When chimps threaten, they open their mouth and show their teeth. It's a little like waving a knife in front of you. It's very primitive, and therefore bizarre.
Until recently, we regarded love as supernatural. We were willing to study the brain chemistry of fear and depression and anger but not love.
Women are better at reading body language everywhere in the world. As a matter of fact, it's associated with the female hormone estrogen. Women are better at figuring out of tone of voice, reading your face and posture and gesture.
Your sweetheart calls you by another's name. His eyes linger too long on your best friend. He talks with excitement about a girl at work. And the fire catches. Jealousy – that sickening combination of possessiveness, suspicion, rage, and humiliation – can overtake your mind and threaten your very core as you contemplate your rival.
Men want to think women don't cheat, and women want men to think they don't cheat, and therefore the sexes have been playing a little psychological game with each other.
Hair that gleams can send a clear sign that you're young and in your prime, whatever your actual age.
Natural beauty really entices men. They will tell you this time and time again, and studies consistently prove it.
I think that property is very important in this day and age. It defines you; you worked hard to get it. It's meaningful to you, and when you divorce, a lot of people have a lot of battles over their property for good reasons.
A Rolex watch or an expensive car are the things guys often use to show status, wealth, and basic desirability.
The reason you take antidepressants is to feel calm. And romantic love is not calm – it's elation, it's mood swings, and you're killing all that when you take the drug.
In courtship, who wins and who loses will determine who passes on their DNA to tomorrow.
There's a lot of talk about the positive aspects of love. We as a society downplay the danger, the anxiety, and the disappointment. We romanticize romance.
Saliva has testosterone and estrogen. When you kiss, you're having a chemical experience.
When people tell you to walk a certain way, it's like not thinking of a purple tomato. You can't not do it.
A lot of people have been romantically in love with somebody who they feel wasn't appropriate to marry.
In general, men are wired to notice obvious signs that convey interest in mating – a warm smile, for example – and ignore other subtleties, like if your lipstick is faded.
When you look at the brain regions associated with picking up data from the body, a huge amount of the brain is devoted to picking up information from the lips and tongue.
I think romantic love evolved to enable you to focus your mating energy on just one individual at a time, thereby conserving mating time and energy.
Women like signs of money and education – things that indicate that not only is this guy going to have some resources, but he's also willing to share them.
You can be instantly scared. You can be instantly happy. So why can't you be instantly romantically in love? I think when it happens, it's because you are ready to fall in love.
When you can't have someone but you're not willing to accept that, you try harder and become more extreme about it. Either you win the person back or you drive him away.
Hair that looks like it's been naturally sun-bleached makes you seem youthful, like you spend a lot of time outdoors. And that appeals to most people.
You size up someone physically in less than one second – too tall, too short, too fat, too thin, too old, too young, too stuffy, too scruffy.
Women apparently are quite drawn to men who have differences rather than similarities in their histocompatibility system. They pick it up by smell, and they can pick it up from kissing.
Along with our many human propensities, we evolved a huge cerebral cortex with which we make decisions.
The women's movement is just a symptom of basic changes in the economy that are favoring women.
Today, most women are surrounded by ingenious gadgets. They don't grow the peas or raise the chicken that they serve for dinner; instead they hunt and gather in the grocery store. They go through catalogs or department stores to buy clothes instead of shearing sheep, carding wool, and weaving cloth for skirts and coats and blankets.
If two very different people pool their DNA, they'll create more genetic variety, and their young will come to the job of parenting with a wider array of skills.
There is more and more data indicating that there is a biological basis to your political views.
As a group, anthropologists are not too fond of people who work in the business world.
Women have a better sense of color and a better color memory. They're more likely to notice when something doesn't match; more likely to notice what you're wearing.
Your face and head give more information about you than any other body part.
You don't come home from the office to spend time with another job. Hopefully you come home to someone you can have a good time with.
Touch is the mother of the senses. Not only are women more sensitive when they touch, but they're also more sensitive to being touched.
When you massage someone, the levels of oxytocin go up in the brain, and oxytocin is one of the chemicals that drives attachment.
Mothers really were not built to raise babies not only by themselves, but with only a partner. For millions of years, a woman had much more than just her husband to help rear her young… This whole idea of 'it takes a village to raise a child' is exactly how we're supposed to live.
Research shows that couples who have a lot of similarities, including intellectual compatibility, end up staying together.
People have often asked me whether what I know about love has spoiled it for me. And I just simply say, 'Hardly.' You can know every single ingredient in a piece of chocolate cake, and then when you sit down and eat that cake, you can still feel that joy.
There's every reason to think SSRIs blunt your ability to fall and stay in love.
Any time you choose not to hide your tattoo, you're limiting your social sphere, because they're not popular in big business.
As social animals, we need to exchange juicy tales about someone – to connect with one another. For millions of years our forebears must have sat around the campfire, whispering about everyone they knew.
Men have a psychological need to show off their courage and strength. When he sees you talking to another guy, that instinct kicks in and he jumps to protect you and prove he's worthy of your love.
Whether you're married or not, relationships – and the satisfaction tied to them – are extremely important for increasing men's and women's quality of life.
I have always been interested in how you can walk into a room and there will be 40 people there and you are immediately drawn to one.
Women are very attracted to a low voice because it's linked to testosterone, which for millions of years was a sign that men had very good spacial skills and would have been very good at hunting and finding their way back home.
Today, American women bear an average of 2.2 children that live to adulthood. Across most of Europe, women bear even fewer young.
A woman will toss her head and a man will say, 'Oh she's trying to pick me up,' when in fact she's not doing that at all. So, women actually have to be a little careful with what they do, because men will pick up things that they didn't mean.
There's more than one person on the planet. When you're madly in love, that's not what you think.
We spend our lives trying to get along with people so we can keep our jobs, keep our marriages together, so that we can raise our kids properly.
Every time you cuddle with your children, you're likely to be driving down your testosterone.
Anthropologists have found evidence of romantic love in 170 societies. They've never found a society that did not have it.
Jealousy can even be good for love. One partner may feel secretly flattered when the other is mildly jealous. And catching someone flirting with your beloved can spark the kind of lust and romance that reignites a relationship.
Neither gender is routinely more jealous – although women are more willing to work to win back a lover, while men tend to flaunt their money and status and are more likely to walk out to protect their self-esteem or save face.
For so many generations, a woman's only career path was to marry well and to marry up. Those days have changed.
It's almost as if men who get tribal tattoos are trying to signal that they are dangerous, they're to be respected, and they're powerful.
There were real reasons that you were attracted to somebody originally. The brain doesn't pick willy-nilly. Unless you part ways hating each other for some reason, that mechanism could get triggered again. You can literally fall in love again.
We're apt to fall in love with those who are mysterious and challenging to us.
The brain was not built to walk into a bar, where you know nobody, and start a conversation. That's not the way humanity has courted.

NEW YORK -- As practices got under way for the 2008 Jordan Brand Classic, both teams went through the feeling-out process, even though many of these players have played with or against each other in the McDonald's All-American Game or on the AAU circuit.
After stretching, both teams broke down into 4-on-4 full-court scrimmaging, which produced the most action from the first day of workouts. The blue team, with a full complement of players available, produced the most spirited action. Blue has three players who are heading to UCLA (Jrue Holiday, Malcolm Lee and Drew Gordon). All three excelled on the defensive end during practice -- not surprising considering that UCLA coach Ben Howland loves to get after it on the defensive end.
Both Samardo Samuels and Al-Farouq Aminu missed the first workout for the white team, while Delvon Roe, recuperating from a knee injury, did not practice (though he did attend the workout). The following players managed to distinguish themselves in the first practice for both teams:
Blue Team
Wesley Witherspoon, 6-8 small forward
College: undecided
Witherspoon impressed with his defensive abilities, using his length and lateral quickness to harass opposing ballhandlers. He has the size and quickness to legitimately guard three positions effectively (point guard, shooting guard and small forward). Witherspoon has electric athleticism and can really finish in the open court due to his leaping ability. He shot well from the perimeter, which provides him with good versatility offensively and complements his good passing skills. He lists Colorado, Florida, Memphis, Texas and Virginia as his schools of interest at this point, with a decision coming on May 1.
Greg Monroe, 6-10 power forward
College: Georgetown
Monroe displayed his vast array of offensive skills throughout the practice. Matching up with B.J. Mullens, he took Mullens away from the basket and scored off the dribble or by shooting the jumper from 15 feet. He also scored in the paint, showing dazzling footwork and counter moves in the post; he also contested shots and played with intensity on the defensive end. He did not exert this amount of effort during the McDonald's workouts and said fatigue played a role in his subpar performance in Milwaukee. If he decides to play up to his immense ability, Monroe could become the best prospect in the class.
Jrue Holiday, 6-3 combo-guard
College: UCLA
Holiday again demonstrated his intense will to compete, especially on the defensive end; he caused all sorts of problems for Brandon Jennings with his size, lateral quickness and strength. Though his facial expression rarely changed, Holiday has the heart of a lion, and it showed most on his defensive effort. He also got to the basket well, though in this workout he missed shots at the rim that he customarily makes, using both his right and left hands effectively. Holiday still has some work to do on his jump shot, but given his work ethic, he will improve his jumper for college. Holiday also passed the ball well and played unselfish basketball in this practice.
B.J. Mullens, 7-0 center
College: Ohio State
Mullens did not have the same success that Monroe had in this practice, but he did exhibit his offensive skills and overall athleticism during the workout. He got out in transition with guards who would feed him the ball, and he finished on the break. He showed his ability to step away from the basket and hit jumpers in the 15- to 17-foot range. He also scored in the post some but did not match the intensity Monroe brought to the first practice and had problems finishing around the rim when Monroe became more physical with him.
William Buford, 6-5 shooting guard
College: Ohio State
Buford shot the ball very well from the perimeter in the first practice. He has the perfect mentality for the shooting guard spot, constantly looking to get his reliable jump shot off, but not hunting down shots. Rarely does a player with his scoring abilities exercise good shot selection, and it seems he rarely takes a bad shot. He has a smooth release and little wasted motion in the shot. When Buford worked off the dribble, he did not pound the ball incessantly on the floor; instead, he efficiently took two or three dribbles and pulled up over defenders.
Drew Gordon, 6-9 power forward
College: UCLA
Gordon looked almost fully healed from the foot injury that plagued him during the season, easily getting off the floor in a hurry for offensive rebounds and putbacks. He displayed good energy and quickness, especially on post defense. Gordon attacked the offensive boards relentlessly and passed the ball very well for a player his size.
White Team
Tony Woods, 6-10 center
College: Wake Forest
Woods has quick feet for a big guy and showed his emerging post game. He has the quickness and agility to perform spin moves in the paint with ease. Once he got to the rim, he did have some problems converting the basket, which he should easily do. Woods has the size and strength to go through defenders and finish despite the best efforts of most opposing big men.
Devin Ebanks, 6-8 small forward
College: undecided
Ebanks has the ability to break down defenders and get to the basket, which he should do more often as opposed to relying on his jump shot. He has the length and leaping ability to finish at the rim and draw fouls. Ebanks needs to increase his intensity and effort on the defensive end and use his physical gifts to make an impact on defense.
Willie Warren, 6-4 combo-guard
College: Oklahoma
Warren has great athleticism, quickness and leaping ability, which he demonstrated in various instances when he looked to penetrate to the rim. With his developed body, hang time and body control, he easily takes on contact at the rim and finishes successfully.
Tyreke Evans, 6-5 shooting guard
College: Memphis
Evans surprisingly looked to get others involved as opposed to hunting down shots. He passed the ball very well in the 4-on-4 half-court sets and looked content creating for his teammates. We will see if this continues once the lights come on at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, but he has good vision and passing ability when he decides to use it. Evans also got to the basket well, using his quick first step and leaping ability to finish at the rim.
Antonio Williams is a recruiting coordinator for Scouts Inc. He previously worked as an NBA scout for Marty Blake Associates.

SALEM, Va. - Led by former North Oconee slugger Pilar Harden, North Georgia's softball team scored nine unanswered runs in a comeback 9-4 win over Indiana (Pa.) to open the NCAA Division II softball world series.
Harden went 3-for-4 with five RBIs - including a game-tying two-run home run in the third inning and a two-run double in the fifth that gave the Saints (53-10) a 5-3 lead.
Harden has homered in four consecutive games, dating back to the opening game at the Southeast Super Regional, and she has 11 overall this season.
Former Oconee County standout Kasey Knight went 1-for-3 for North Georgia with a run and two RBIs.
The Saints will face the winner from Thursday's game between Alabama-Huntsville and Midwestern State today in the winner's bracket.
The North Georgia roster features three area players: junior Harden, senior Knight and freshman Katie Garrett from North Oconee.

- Retry DSM control segment creation if Windows indicates access denied. Otherwise, attempts to run multiple postmasters running on the same machine may fail, because Windows sometimes returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED rather than ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS when there is an existing segment. Hitting this bug is much more likely because of another defect not fixed by this patch, namely that dsm_postmaster_startup() uses random() which returns the same value every time. But that's not a reason not to fix this. Kyotaro Horiguchi and Amit Kapila, reviewed by Michael Paquier Discussion: <email@example.com> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/419113dfdc4c729f6c763cc30a9b02ee68a7da94
- Use PostmasterRandom(), not random(), for DSM control segment ID. Otherwise, every startup gets the same "random" value, which is definitely not what was intended. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/470d886c32efafa1b068b5ca48afafc2198c68d4
- Add more parallel query documentation. Previously, the individual settings were documented, but there was no overall discussion of the capabilities and limitations of the feature. Add that. Patch by me, reviewed by Peter Eisentraut and Ãlvaro Herrera. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/60270e5e00850ee8cc34296e38d0000415c8b152

- Remove obsolete warning from docs. Python 2.4 and Fedora 4 are both obsolete at this point, especially unpatched debug builds. Discussion: <email@example.com> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/6cc54f38a9fe1f4103c45a9858804d1d5d4de0fd
- Fix latency calculation when there are \sleep commands in the script. We can't use txn_scheduled to hold the sleep-until time for \sleep, because that interferes with calculation of the latency of the transaction as whole. Backpatch to 9.4, where this bug was introduced. Fabien COELHO Discussion: <alpine.DEB.2.20.1608231622170.7102@lancre> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/40c3fe4980e73acb0db75a3c737a4a52e09d4cf4
- Fix outdated comments, GIST search queue is not an RBTree anymore. The GiST search queue is implemented as a pairing heap rather than as Red-Black Tree, since 9.5 (commit e7032610). I neglected these comments in that commit. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/45310221a9afccd98e78813459472370ade9dc4c
- Fix pgbench's calculation of average latency, when -T is not used. If the test duration was given in # of transactions (-t or no option), rather as a duration (-T), the latency average was always printed as 0. It has been broken ever since the display of latency average was added, in 9.4. Fabien Coelho Discussion: <alpine.DEB.2.20.1607131015370.7486@sto> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/65c65563842cc99fb1c349211581a62dc728eee2
- Print test parameters like "foo: 123", and results like "foo = 123". The way "latency average" was printed was differently if it was calculated from the overall run time or was measured on a per-transaction basis. Also, the per-script weight is a test parameter, rather than a result, so use the "weight: %f" style for that. Backpatch to 9.6, since the inconsistency on "latency average" was introduced there. Fabien Coelho Discussion: <alpine.DEB.2.20.1607131015370.7486@sto> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/2a7f4f76434d82eb0d1b5f4f7051043e1dd3ee1a

- pg_restore: Add -N option to exclude schemas. This is similar to the -N option in pg_dump, except that it doesn't take a pattern, just like the existing -n option in pg_restore. From: Michael Banck <firstname.lastname@example.com> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/46b55e7f853dc0ef60ae3b1042b883fa4ffac95f
- Re-add translation markers that were lost. When win32security.c was moved from src/backend/port/win32/security.c, the message writing function was changed from write_stderr to log_error, but nls.mk was not updated. We could add log_error to GETTEXT_TRIGGERS, but it's also used in src/common/exec.c in a different way and that would create some confusion or a larger patch. For now, just put an explicit translation marker onto the strings that were previously translated. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/90c9648212f7c3f0838fdaafe006ed40556a1364
- Fix typo. From: Michael Paquier <email@example.com> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/c91b34bab19bdc4fca4de37cd37c8a4e79dae4d0

- Delay updating control file to "in production". Move the updating of the control file to "in production" status until the point where WAL writes are allowed. Before, there could be a significant gap between the control file update and write transactions actually being allowed. This makes it more reliable to use the control status to verify the end of a promotion. From: Michael Paquier <email@example.com> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/ebdf5bf7d1c97a926e2b0cb6523344c2643623c7
- pg_ctl: Add wait option to promote action When waiting is selected for the promote action, look into pg_control until the state changes, then use the PQping-based waiting until the server is reachable. Reviewed-by: Michael Paquier <email@example.com> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/e7010ce4794a4c12a6a8bfb0ca1de49b61046847
- Make command_like output more compact. Consistently print the test name, not the full command, which can be quite lenghty and include temporary directory names and other distracting details. Reviewed-by: Michael Paquier <firstname.lastname@example.com> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/e767db2242079b4ec2a7bbd18da7649d9ee1d696
- Add tests for various connection string issues. Add tests for consistent support of connection strings in frontend programs as well as proper handling of unusual characters in database and user names. These tests were developed for the issues of CVE-2016-5424. To allow testing of names with spaces, change the pg_regress command-line options --create-role and --dbname to split their arguments by comma only, not space or comma as before. Only commas were actually used in existing uses. Noah Misch, Michael Paquier, Peter Eisentraut http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/8b845520fb0aa50fea7aae44a45cee1b6d87845d
- pg_ctl: Add promote wait option to help output. pointed out by Masahiko Sawada <email@example.com> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/6fa51c79c7a645248a63205ce17af98ed404790d
- pg_ctl: Detect current standby state from pg_control. pg_ctl used to determine whether a server was in standby mode by looking for a recovery.conf file. With this change, it instead looks into pg_control, which is potentially more accurate. There are also occasional discussions about removing recovery.conf, so this removes one dependency. Reviewed-by: Michael Paquier <email@example.com> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/c1dc51d4844e2a37412b034c07c1c5a439ba0b9d
Tom Lane pushed:
- Be sure to rewind the tuplestore read pointer in non-leader CTEScan nodes. ExecInitCteScan supposed that it didn't have to do anything to the extra tuplestore read pointer it gets from tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer. However, it needs this read pointer to be positioned at the start of the tuplestore, while tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer is actually defined as cloning the current position of read pointer 0. In normal situations that accidentally works because we initialize the whole plan tree at once, before anything gets read. But it fails in an EvalPlanQual recheck, as illustrated in bug #14328 from Dima Pavlov. To fix, just forcibly rewind the pointer after tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer. The cost of doing so is negligible unless the tuplestore is already in TSS_READFILE state, which wouldn't happen in normal cases. We could consider altering tuplestore's API to make that case cheaper, but that would make for a more invasive back-patch and it doesn't seem worth it. This has been broken probably for as long as we've had CTEs, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: <firstname.lastname@example.com> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/96dd77d349424f270d129f8f40e75f762ddcca7d
- Remove nearly-unused SizeOfIptrData macro. Past refactorings have removed all but one reference to SizeOfIptrData (and that one place was in a pretty noncritical spot). Since nobody's complained, it seems probable that there are no supported compilers that don't think sizeof(ItemPointerData) is 6. If there are, we're wasting MAXALIGN per heap tuple anyway, so it's rather silly to worry about whether we can shave space in places like WAL records. Pavan Deolasee Discussion: <email@example.com> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/8023b5827fbada6815ce269db4f3373ac77ec7c3
- Avoid using PostmasterRandom() for DSM control segment ID. Commits 470d886c3 et al intended to fix the problem that the postmaster selected the same "random" DSM control segment ID on every start. But using PostmasterRandom() for that destroys the intended property that the delay between random_start_time and random_stop_time will be unpredictable. (Said delay is probably already more predictable than we could wish, but that doesn't mean that reducing it by a couple orders of magnitude is OK.) Revert the previous patch and add a comment warning against misuse of PostmasterRandom. Fix the original problem by calling srandom() early in PostmasterMain, using a low-security seed that will later be overwritten by PostmasterRandom. Discussion: <email@example.com> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/49a91b88e6c4afb840745c78942dd99ce125a6d6
- Don't trust CreateFileMapping() to clear the error code on success. We must test GetLastError() even when CreateFileMapping() returns a non-null handle. If that value were left over from some previous system call, we might be fooled into thinking the segment already existed. Experimentation on Windows 7 suggests that CreateFileMapping() clears the error code on success, but it is not documented to do so, so let's not rely on that happening in all Windows releases. Amit Kapila Discussion: <firstname.lastname@example.com> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/8e6b4ee21f486e6800aaa6955ff3d98e1a521b49
- Remove useless code. Apparent copy-and-pasteo in standby_desc_invalidations() had two entries for msg->id == SHAREDINVALRELMAP_ID. Aleksander Alekseev Discussion: <20160923090814.GB1238@e733> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/959ea7fa76120449efa5d85ae351abd1d6e5480c
- Fix incorrect logic for excluding range constructor functions in pg_dump. Faulty AND/OR nesting in the WHERE clause of getFuncs' SQL query led to dumping range constructor functions if they are part of an extension and we're in binary-upgrade mode. Actually, we don't want to dump them separately even then, since CREATE TYPE AS RANGE will create the range's constructor functions regardless. Per report from Andrew Dunstan. It looks like this mistake was introduced by me, in commit b985d4877, in perhaps-overzealous refactoring to reduce code duplication. I'm suitably embarrassed. Report: <firstname.lastname@example.com> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/12f6eadffd075e39570a0170f6791de0b96ddfde
- Doc: fix examples of # operators so they actually work. These worked as-is until around 7.0, but fail in newer versions because there are more operators named "#". Besides it's a bit inconsistent that only two of the examples on this page lack type names on their constants. Report: <email@example.com> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/5a7bae0699657315b487896810a30bd7425f6a08
- Install TAP test infrastructure so it's available for extension testing. When configured with --enable-tap-tests, "make install" will now install the Perl support files for TAP testing where PGXS will find them. This allows extensions to rely on $(prove_check) even when being built out-of-tree. Back-patch to 9.4 where we first started to support TAP testing, to reduce the number of cases extension makefiles need to consider. Craig Ringer Discussion: <firstname.lastname@example.com> http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/c3a0818460a8f4a5e1a9109b035ac30e84b7e06f

ANOTHER Sunderland city centre store is under threat after clothing chain Republic went into administration, putting 2,500 jobs at risk nationally.
Administrator Ernst & Young said the 121 shops, including one in The Bridges, would continue to trade while it looks for a buyer for the business.
The move comes on the heels of the failure of such household names as Comet, Blockbuster and Jessops in recent weeks.
Republic, which started as a men's denim retailer in 1986 under the Best Jeans brand in Leeds, was hit by a "sudden and rapid decline" in sales last month after poor trading results over the autumn.
Ernst said it had made 150 staff redundant at Republic's headquarters in Yorkshire.
Spokesman Hunter Kelly said: "Republic suffered poor trading results in the autumn, and while sales picked up in December, there has been a sudden and rapid decline in sales in late January."
He added: "We will continue to trade Republic, with a view to selling the business as a going concern.
"Republic is well recognised, particularly in the North.
"It has a powerful website offering well-known brand names and has some very attractive and profitable stores.
"We are grateful for the continued support of all employees and customers during this time, and would like to thank everyone at Republic for their commitment and hard work, as the business continues to trade."
Republic, which targets the competitive youth market, sells brands including Jack Jones, SoulCal, Diesel and Firetrap.
It was bought by private equity firm TPG in June 2010, in a deal worth about £300million, with the founders understood to have retained a significant stake.
Ernst & Young has set up a helpline for customers on 0113 298 2450 and the e-mail address email@example.com

i used this unit several times, but it did not work. i ended up needing surgery. i stuck the thing in my closet and forgot about it.
fast forward almost a year later....this company is trying to collect $4000 from me for this cheaply made unit. when i called to let them know that pricing information was NEVER disclosed to me, the CS rep told me that payment would "come out of my settlement." she also said my "settlement was not meant to go shopping with." she said my attorney could call her to negotiate a price.
i told her that 1) i hadn't even gone to settlement 2) the guy that hit me didn't even have a lot of insurance and i was getting the short end of the stick 3) the representative that gave me the unit made no mention of price or that i would have to pay. she insisted money would come out of my settlement.
when i looked up this company online, i found several fraud reports. they try to bamboozle people when they are at their most down and out. don't do business with them under any circumstances!!!! i had to report them to the FBI.

Zynex calm down
AUTHOR: much_ado_about_nothing - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, March 26, 2011POSTED: Saturday, March 26, 2011
First off I just got my unit a few days ago. It has given me a fair amount of relief. it's helped me avoid using pain meds, having to do physical therapy, and avoid surgery. And those annoying pain patches don't get me started.
I don't think people would buy the unit nor would their insurance company if they knew the same machine was 10 or 20 times less than what you bill. $4000 is excessive! I know that if I get charged a ludicrous amount like that, when my insurance should be responsible for covering most or all of it...you all won't be happy campers.
This unit is amazing don't get me wrong. As long as I have everything i need or everythings accessible there's no problem on my end. But what's with the animosity and the attitude problem from "This Guy" A loyal is great...a good captain goes down with their ship. But, some of your colleagues...the other customer service reps who sell these units...are in and out faster than a dr. once you sign that...they briefly show you how to use it and out like a thief in the night. I think it was more like this...the poor guy is overworked...underpaid...has no idea whats going on.
the product works...i'm middle-ground as we speak...but we'll see how this goes! as far as That Guy...not very many survived when the titanic sunk. (and Enron didn't think they were going to fail they thought they were invincible).

1) I was told I wouldn't have to pay for it
2) No price was EVER mentioned to me, much less $4000 (this thing is worth $50 TOPS).
3) I was never told I had top return it because I was promised I wouldn't have to pay for it.
4) The FBI does not disclose cases to the public LOL!!! Especially when it is STILL under investigation.
And if anybody wants to look up this company..do a GOogle search of Zynex Medical Complaints....
PS - I WAS told by the Zynex rep this WAS a TENS unit...just another lie, I guess...

I work for this company and know that this information is not accurrate in it's nature. First of all this is NOT a TENS!!! This is for an Interferential/neuromuscular stimulator and is much different than a TENS unit in what it is used for and what it is trying to accomplish!
Funny thing with this report is that this patient states that they "stuck this in their closet and forgot about it." Then they fast forward a year later and get a bill for $4000.00. Is Zynex responsible for this patients stupidty? This patient was having monthly supplies sent to them, why did they not call and stop the supplies and also try to return a product that was not working for them? This patient could have returned the unit after they realized this was not working and had a bill of only a couple hundred dollars. This patient is mad for their own laziness and ignorance while trying to blame the world for their problems. Did this patient ever check their insurance to see what might pay? What ever happened to the Explanation of Benefits that was sent by this patients ins. company that stated their responsibility? Did the patients attorney ever attempt to call to negotiate this bill? Was this even the price the patient PAID?
This patient states that the sales representative that gave them the unit made no mention of price or that they would have to pay. The representative stated this would come out of their settlement. This is true and I guess this patient had the belief that this was a gift from the Tooth Fairy or that Santa Claus was going to take care of this for them. Heck everyone knows that MEDICINE IS FREE in this country or this person thought they were going to sue for a mountain of money. Did this patient ever ask what the cost of such service might be? I know for a fact that Zynex has negotiated bills under certain circumstances for different insurance cases. ZYNEX is known for giving NO OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE TO THE PATIENT.
This person states that when they looked up this company there are several fraud reports and they reported this company to the FBI. What a joke!!! I was out sick for a week and searched daily on the internet looking for such cases. I FOUND THESE REPORTS ONLY AND NO OTHERS! There is a class action lawsuit at the moment because Zynex had to restate their earnings because of downturns in the business and circumstance for a short period of time. REMEMBER: In America you are supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty! My belief is that Zynex will prevail in this lawsuit or I would not be doing business with them and would be looking for a new job. I am not looking and I have confidence in Zynex and it's management.
Over the past 15 years, I have worked in the electrical therapy industry and know that the cost associated with this product is NOT out of line for the product this patient more than likely received. I have worked for companies where the expense was even higher. There are different modalities used by way of different products that give different results for different health issues. Some of these products can even be several times this expense depending on the severity of the patient's condition or needs. You can always buy something less expensive that is made of inferior quality. This patient does NOT know what they are talking about and is angry at their own lack of knowledge of medicine, the system and responsibility! They are responsible for asking the questions that are associated with their financial responsibilty regarding their insurance and legal issues.
It is a shame that reports such as this get published when companies like Zynex and others do a wonderful job of helping people relieve pain and increase their function of daily activities. Many thousands of patients are given relief from pain with such devices. This comes from Zynex and other competitors that help doctors help their patients. This product was given to this patient under the direction of their doctor. This doctor obviously has seen the benefit of this product that has been around for years.
The bottom line is this patient should have returned the product instead of sticking it in the closet for a year!

Take the attached document as an example.

This problem also occurs when viewing the document with Evince, but not when using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. Is it possible the problem is with Poppler, then? (If so, any ideas as to what in Poppler is causing it? I can file an upstream bug report if necessary, but it would help if I could provide further details.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the attached document test.pdf and click on the "A", "B", or "C" links in the left-hand column of the page or in Okular's table of contents.

Arsenal star pictured on holiday with girlfriend amid rumours of Man City transfer
ARSENAL star Jack Wilshere has shown off his new girlfriend on social media.
The England midfielder, 23, is currently dating his barber's daughter – stunning brunette Andriani Michael.
Wilshere has two children with with childhood sweetheart Lauren Neal.
The pair split earlier this year.
Arsenal are preparing to offer Wilshere a new contract amid interest from Manchester City.
Despite another injury-plagued season Arsenal are set to significantly increase Wilshere's £60,000-per-week salary.

"He knows he is wanted"Arsene Wenger on Jack Wilshere
The Gunners, who are expected to complete the signing of Petr Cech on Monday, have lost several key players to Manchester City in recent years.
Emmanuel Adebayor, Kolo Toure and Samir Nasri have all swapped the Emirates for the Etihad.
But Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has played down fears of Wilshere quitting the club.
Wenger said: "He knows he is wanted.
"I made Jack Wilshere start at 17 years of age.
"That means you cannot show a bigger desire of wanting a player and we have always extended his contract and we have been very patient with all his injuries.
"At some stage I think he must feel wanted.
"We always stood by him through every difficult moment.
"Does that mean we want him to stay here for a longer period?
"Yes, as we would like to benefit from his talent now."

Two weeks after the mysterious disappearance of popular musician Castro 'Under Fire' during a jet ski ride with a female friend in Ada, the entire nation is still shocked by the incident which has received massive media coverage as well as several high-profile reactions both locally and internationally.
One place in Ghana that has been affected the most by the incident is Castro's birthplace of Sekondi-Takoradi.
One can only admire the overwhelming love and support that residents of the twin city are showing to their icon since radio stations started broadcasting 'his death' that fateful Sunday afternoon. The whole town was shaken by the news. People abandoned their usual 'Sunday rituals'. There was total confusion. You rarely could hear loud music. Everything had come to a halt. Nothing was normal.
In the evening, many women trooped the residence of Castro's father (Mr. Eshun, popularly known as 'Coachee', who works at the Takoradi Harbour and also manages a youth football team) to console him.
The entire central business district was relatively quiet the next day with some traders attributing the unusual calmness to the Castro incident.
Since the the incident happened, die-hard fans of the musician have been criticizing some local radio stations for what they describe as unprofessional handling of the news. The radio stations who were constantly chastised for prematurely declaring Castro dead have been forced to retract the reports and apologize.
To Castro's home fans, only his dead body will confirm his death. According to them, Castro is a faithful ambassador who is down-to-earth despite his fame and success in the music industry. Castro freely supports any local musician who approaches him so almost every local artiste has a song with him.
It is clear his fans and many proteges have not lost hope. They still look forward to seeing Castro in town for a mega concert. Castro's hit joint with Sarkodie 'Adonai' as well as his singles 'Olofofo' and 'Jealousy' can be heard in almost every corner. There are also reports of some schools and churches in the metropolis conducting special prayers for the musician.
It has been a very interesting period in the history of show business in Ghana and even though the mystery behind the sudden disappearance of one of the strong pillars of contemporary Ghanaian music is yet to be uncovered, to his loyal fans in Sekondi-Takoradi, Castro is alive.

It's Never Too Late is a research chronicle that offers not only proven methods but also inspiration. Anyone working with "at risk" students - those for whom school has not been a place of success - will find here a reflection of their own experiences, plus thoughtful and creative strategies for making those experiences positive ones.
When Janet Allen, a respected lecturer, researcher, and award-winning teacher, began teaching in 1972, she was wholly unprepared for the challenges she encountered: motivating the unmotivated, developing a curriculum with no models to draw from, building an environment that supported strategic learning, finding creative resources with limited means, and dealing with reluctant, even rebellious students. More daunting, perhaps, was the challenge of constantly rekindling her own fervor for teaching. But she persevered and found ways to break through those obstacles.
It's Never Too Late is at once a story and a "how to" book. Readers will find absorbing case studies, photographs, quotes from educators, surveys, activities, and step by-step strategies for teaching reading and writing to the most reluctant middle and secondary school students. Most important, they will find affirmation for the powerful role they play as teachers.
This research chronicle offers proven methods and inspiration for anyone working with at risk students, with case studies, quotes from educators, surveys, activities, and strategies for teaching reading and writing to middle and secondary school students who are at risk in terms of literacy. Allen, a teacher since 1972, relates the challenges she encountered when she began her career and describes students who changed her life, then discusses strategies such as reading aloud and integrating art. Includes sample surveys and assessments. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

you need to uninstall the Hp completely, set the Epson to be the default choice then reinstall the driver for the HP.
Set a System restore first though in case of trouble!
A friend of mine had the same problem with this set up of 2 printers and this cured it (although his epson was a different model)
Good luck!

There is a misconception that the only luxurious places in Las Vegas to relax and unwind are found on The Strip. In reality, Sin City offers many first-class spas nearby, where you can feel at ease and rejuvenate without the added hassle of having to navigate through large casinos. The M Resort is a quick trip from The Strip and has the world-class, Spa Mio, just waiting for you.
Spa Mio has received a four-star rating from Forbes Travel Guide, making it one of the only 149 four-star spas in the world. Spanning 23,000 square feet, Spa Mio boasts 16 treatment rooms, plus a special couple's area for those looking to add some romantic ambiance to their day. Upon entering, you will be provided with a private locker, plush robe and sandals, along with any grooming supplies you may desire. You can snack on some fresh fruit, teas, bottled water and juice. There are separate men and women's wet areas here, which include a sauna, steam room and powerful whirlpool.
The full-body and facial treatments offered at Spa Mio provides a nice mixture that will relax or revitalize you. The team of professionals on staff will be able to help you pick out the perfect option that caters to your specific aches or skin type. The signature Essential M Facial is a customized European facial that utilizes the finest botanical blends for your specific skin type to properly exfoliate, massage and mask. We're also big fans of the Brilliance Facial, which incorporates a high potency of vitamin C to help reduce fine lines and the harmful rays of the intense Las Vegas sun. This particular treatment is great after spending a full day in Sin City. If you're looking for the full body treatment, the Desert to Sea Detox is designed to stimulate your lymphatic system with a caffeine enriched detoxifying scrub. You will get covered in marine clay and relax in a heated cocoon. The treatment concludes with a ginger mint foot wrap and full body essential oils application to help continue to detox process. There are also a number of excellent massages to select from here, perfect for working out and soothing any aches your body may have. Spa Mio's signature massage includes completely customized pressure, along with reflexology and cranial sacral techniques which combine to leave your body feeling better than it has in years.
There is also a full-service salon on the premise, so you can get a cut, style or even color before going out for the night. For the guys, there is also a dedicated barbershop if you aren't into the saloon treatment. A nice amenity at the salon is that each of the shampoo stations comes complete with ultra-luxurious Shiatsu back-massaging chairs and the pedicure chairs provide you with a soothing compressed-air massage. Among the other amenities on the premise that you'll want to enjoy are the M Resort pool and state-of-the-art fitness center.
Spending the day at Spa Mio is a great reminder that not all of the best spas in Sin City reside on The Strip. You can avoid all the typical tourist traps and actually do some serious relaxing by simply venturing a few extra miles.

THE question of the week regarding Robbie Deans is clearly: "Should he stay or should he go?"
But before the Australian Rugby Union - and Australian rugby fans - reach for the axe and chopping block, another question should be answered first.
Namely, what happens the day after? If Deans goes, who takes over as Wallabies coach?
The only option for most is successful Queensland Reds coach Ewen McKenzie.
So popular a choice is McKenzie to be next Wallabies coach, the ARU know they'd be howled down if anyone else was considered prior.
But here's the rub. If Deans is sacked this year, McKenzie stepping straight in is not the fait accompli everyone assumes.
McKenzie wants to coach Australia, no doubt. But the Reds coach is also a big believer in timing, and if the gig becomes available in 2013, there is no iron-clad guarantee he would take it.
The ARU could then find itself scrambling for a new Wallabies coach, and settling for a second or third-choice option.
McKenzie is not afraid to back his instincts when it comes to Test opportunities, and has form to prove it. He turned down the Wallabies coaching job in 2006 because he felt the time wasn't right in his career.
Queensland recently re-signed McKenzie until the end of 2014, and while QRU bosses Rod McCall and Jim Carmichael wouldn't stand in the way of McKenzie taking over the Wallabies if given the opportunity, that wasn't expected until the end of 2013, when Deans' contract expires.
Succession planning is under way at Queensland, but only just. McKenzie becomes coaching director and Richard Graham head coach next season but it was expected, by key players in particular, McKenzie would remain hands-on in 2013.
This in itself wouldn't stop McKenzie taking over at the Wallabies next year, but like Deans and the Crusaders in 2008, Queensland sources yesterday indicated McKenzie would want to see out the 2013 Reds season until August.
That would require all of McKenzie's planning skills, however, with the British and Irish Lions tour in June-July.
Difficult, but not impossible.
The second potential issue from Deans being turfed early, however, would be McKenzie's coaching set-up. Would he have to inherit Deans' assistant coaches, or would he get to bring in his own people? Naturally, most coaches prefer the latter; but if the ARU act on Deans, would they be prepared to give McKenzie a clean slate by paying out Tony McGahan, Andrew Blades and Nick Scrivener as well?
These are the questions which will be swirling in McKenzie's head.
You only get to coach the Wallabies once and when judged on each and every result, prospective candidates want as much control as possible.If McKenzie declines, there are no other obvious candidates at Super Rugby level, aside from Jake White, but he is tied to the Brumbies for three more years.
That woud leave the ARU with the option of turning to McGahan or possibly HPU boss David Nucifora, although his stocks have plummeted since the Australian under-20s came eighth this year.
Who else? Candidates overseas could be canvassed but quickly the initial logic of a change nosedives.
The ARU will step carefully with Deans' future. As desperate as people get to see the Wallabies win in the short term, before contemplating an early change they'd need to be sure their succession plan - i.e. McKenzie - is well and truly on board.
Which brings us back to the first question: should Deans stay or go? Opinion is now strongly split.
There are those who say since 2008, Deans has had ample time to build a successful Wallabies side.
Detractors point to confusing selections, a misplaced faith in inconsistent youngsters and a record of losing games that shouldn't be lost: Scotland (2009), Samoa and Ireland (2011) and Scotland (2012).
After four years of leeway based on his stellar Crusaders record, Deans gave no World Cup payoff, and with three wins from 17 games against the All Blacks, no Bledisloe Cup yet either.
Deans' overall record stands at 36 from 62 Tests, at 58.8 per cent. This is ahead of Eddie Jones (57 per cent) but behind Greg Smith (63 per cent), John Connolly (64 per cent) and Rod Macqueen (79 per cent).
But supporters say remove the All Blacks - who have lost just three Tests in 32 since 2010 - and Deans' record stacks up. It climbs to 31 wins from 43 Tests at 73 per cent, including eight wins from 12 Tests against the Springboks and 22 wins from 29 games against Six Nations teams.
Interestingly, however, the order doesn't change on the no-All Blacks gauge; Deans is still ahead of Jones (65 per cent) but behind Connolly (77 per cent), Smith (80 per cent) and Macqueen (86 per cent).
So is it all just a matter of being unable to beat the All Blacks in a dominant streak? Australia are not alone here.
Since 2008, only three sides have beaten New Zealand in 60 matches: Springboks (5), Australia (3) and France (1). The average scoreline for the Wallabies has been a 26-17 loss, while the Boks have gone down 24-18 and collectively, Six Nations teams have been thumped 30-10.
Counter-intuitively, when it comes to criticism of Deans' selections, the Wallabies have been more settled in Bledisloe Cup games than New Zealand.
The Wallabies have used less players (52) than the All Blacks (54) in Bledisloe Cup matches, although this may reflect shallower depth.
Deans has also done much for returning Wallabies to club footy, say his backers, and few Wallaby coaches have been more accessible to community and bush rugby than the Kiwi.

It borrows some time, certainly, and to do many documents of my party. And manufacturing of these documents in me will leave approximately 8 days. But I shall do all which depends on me. Concerning the visa, there is a visa of the Bride, but it - not the best variant for us as we have not met however, and we have no any documents and pictures to improve our meeting. And concerning me have told, that again and it will be again better to receive it the visa the Category In - 1/-2, it is placed during the period of one or two months or even three months.
