Scientists Discover Hottest Water On Earth
Deep beneath the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, geochemist Andrea Koschinsky says she has discovered the hottest water ever to be found on Earth.
"It's water, but not as we know it," she said.
The fluid can be seen flowing from two black smokers, named Two Boats and Sisters Peak, more than 3 kilometers below the surface of the ocean. It is in what scientists call a "supercritical" state that has never been seen before.
Koschinsky said the fluid is in between a gas and a liquid, and could offer new insight into how essential minerals and nutrients like gold, copper and iron are leached out of the entrails of the Earth and released into the oceans.
When temperatures and pressure increases, the gas and liquid merge, creating one supercritical fluid.
Water and seawater have both been pushed past this critical point in labs, but until Koschinsky and her colleagues sailed to just south of the Atlantic equator in 2006, no one had seen supercritical fluids in nature.
Alongside a team of scientists, Koschinsky set out to investigate the southern end of the mid-Atlantic Ridge.
They discovered the black smokers in 2005 and returned in 2006 and 2007, while gauging temperatures each time.
Temperatures in 2005 were at least 407 °C, and even reached 464 °C for periods of 20 seconds.
"We stand to greatly improve our models of fluid circulation and heat and mass transfer," says Margaret Tivey, a geochemist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) in Massachusetts.
"It's not yet possible to drill into active vents," explains Koschinsky. "Temperatures are so high, much of drilling equipment would melt and joins would not work anymore." The data from the new vents will be invaluable in testing the models.
"The findings are significant," says Dan Fornari, also of WHOI. "The high temperature of the venting is especially interesting as this [mid-ocean ridge] does not spread very rapidly."
Scientists believe that the two smokers have been active since an earthquake occurred in 2002.
"The magma body underneath is probably enormous," says Koschinsky.
However, Colin Devey of the University of Kiel in Germany said: "The explanation could be that there's lot of magma, but after a few more years of high temperatures, it's going to get to the point where it will be embarrassing how much magma there needs to be to maintain them for that long."

A new and increasingly more popular alternative to a traditional litigated divorce is a process called Collaborative Divorce. Couples who choose this process agree not to go to Court until they have a signed settlement agreement resolving all issues. All participants, including the professionals, sign a Collaborative Participation Agreement, which makes the process confidential and requires all professionals to withdraw if either party decides to litigate the case. Collaborative Divorce takes a team approach to resolving the issues and involves open communication among the couple, attorneys, accountants, mental health professionals and any other professionals that may be necessary depending on the circumstances of the case. The professionals must have specific training in the collaborative model.
If the collaborative process is right for a case, the benefits as compared to a traditional litigated divorce include:
Although not every case is appropriate for the collaborative model, it is a new alternative that individuals should consider when contemplating a divorce.

Mt. McKinley: Walter & Team in a Holding Pattern at 14,200'

Well, there iss not much new to report today. We're still waiting out the weather here at 14,200 ft on Denali. Last night was windy and snowy, with gusts up to 52 mph here in camp. There is lots of deep drifted snow around camp, so even just walking around is an exercise in trail breaking. The winds have let up this afternoon and it is still snowing lightly. Moderate snowfall is expected tonight and tomorrow, and with any luck it will let up by midweek.
We're all safe and comfortable, waiting for the weather to improve. When (if) it does, we'll have our work cut out for us; as a result of the new snow and wind loading, we'll be faced with trail breaking and evaluating the avalanche hazard of the steeper slopes above us. In the mean time, we're passing the time by reading books, chewing the fat, and the continual work of maintaining our camp's condition throughout the storm.
We'll keep you up to date with any changes in our current holding pattern.

Alaska Seminar: Leon Davis & Team Send Final Dispatch
Posted by: Leon Davis, Lindsay Fixmer, Bridget Belliveau | May 24, 2015
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount McKinley
Hello friends and family,
Apologies for the absent dispatches these last few days; Apparently clouds and Sat phones do not get along. We had a few eventful days on the Kahiltna so here is a quick wrap up. Our attempt on Kahiltna Dome was thwarted by Avalanche conditions so we made a full retreat from camp II back to Base Camp under a blanket of clouds. The team set up a quick camp by the airstrip and started celebrating the trip with a few beers we stashed in a hole and some margarita's from a friendly neighbor. With some time to kill, a few folks wanted to know what the inside of a crevasse looked like so we set some anchors and lowered a few into the deep blue black holes that reach down under our feet. Doug perched himself at the lip for a photo session of folks climbing out of the abyss. Everyone flew off yesterday just before the weather shut base camp down and we enjoyed a fine dinner in Talkeetna and some drinks at the Fairview. A great trip with some of the finest people I've shared a rope with. Thank you all for tuning in and look forward to the pictures and stories headed your way!

Mt. McKinley: Van Deventer & Team Waiting at 14,200 ft Camp

Winter has come to Denali. We spent the night listening to snowflakes pelt the tent walls, interspersed with frequent tent shaking blasts of wind. As we stretched breakfast into a long brunch, the story didn't change, so we decided to focus our energy on building up our walls a bit more and solidifying camp rather than going to get our cache. The evening brought stronger snow, and a fresh forecast of more snow tomorrow and wind, so we'll see how the plan for tomorrow shakes out. From the wintry white north,

Mt. McKinley: Knoff & Team Move to 11,200 ft Camp

Elevation: 11,200'

In the real world the saying goes"the early bird gets the worm". This season on Denali, the early bird gets the weather window. Now I've never been a bird before so I'm not gonna judge on how good a worm must taste, but I have been here before and I can tell you that moving camp in clear weather is much tastier than moving in a storm. So, with a clear but windy morning we scarfed down a warm granola breakfast cached some unneeded gear and quickly broke camp. Our team is getting very proficient at this skill so we were rolling by 9:15. Nick led the team out and in 2.5 hours of sustained up hill travel had us all sitting at 11,200 feet. It wasn't long after we began building a fresh camp that the weather had enough of being nice and took a quick turn for the worst. It held out just long enough to get camp built and then really started snowing and blowing. The forecast is calling for up to a foot of snow by the end of tomorrow so we feel blessed to be in a good spot to wait things out. Everyone sends big hugs to those following the blog and little hugs to those who aren't.
From from Camp three.

R1 Rusedski d
67(5) 62 63
My sister and I watched the Wawrinka-Rusedski R1 match at Court BN w our Federerfan friend. As this was the first time wed seen Stan play, it was good to know that he could take a set off Greg, who was playing fairly well [and who ended up making the semifinals, helped by his contingent of fans, one of whom kept shouting his name loudly behind us until it became rather annoying, given the strong accent].
Stans strong shot is his backhand, which he displayed in his exchanges. We can only hope that he will be able to give Switzerland at least one point in the upcoming Davis Cup tie in September.

Smart Workout Help
Hats off to Betty Wong and our friends at FITNESS Magazine for publishing a truly helpful new book, Fast Track to a Better Body. Even when I'm motivated to exercise, I've always had a hard time figuring out which strength and toning moves to do—my mind goes blank. The experts at FITNESS have compiled a never-get-bored series of 15-minute workouts that you can do at home or at the gym that focus on your arms, abs, butt, legs, or your whole body. The book also includes enlightening chapters on maximizing fat burning in less time. Even though I have been covering health and fitness issues for years, I learned new things:
1. Women who maintain a healthy weight do weekly exercise equal to 21.5 METs (metabolic equivalents). The book includes the METs of different aerobic activities.
2. You don't actually need to stay in the so-called "fat burning zone" to shed pounds (even you burn a higher percentage of fat calories when you're walking than when you're running, you burn a lot more total calories when you're running, so higher intensity is more effective).
3. Interval training is indeed the best way to kick-start your metabolism, but it's stressful on your body so you should do a lighter workout the next day.
You can buy the book here.Add a Comment

Dining on a Budget | Carmelita's Mexican Restaurant
Breakfast tacos and more when you need a fix
By Edmund Tijerina : July 4, 2013 : Updated: July 8, 2013 4:40pm
Photo By Jerry Lara / San Antonio Express-NewsThe Carmelita's platter includes a little of everything: flauta, puffy taco, enchilada, tostada and sides.

Photo By San Antonio Express-NewsA photo of the Shrimp ala diabla plate at Carmelita's, a neighborhood Tex-Mex place at 2218 Broadway Street, Tuesday, July 2, 2013.
More Information
2218 Broadway near East Josephine Street, 210-224-5540
Hours: 5 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-Saturday
Price range: Breakfast plates, $3.99-$7.99; lunch plates, $5,99-$9.99.
Hit: Shrimp a la Mexicana
Miss: Huevos rancheros needed salt
Lighter Choice: There are some salads and chicken dishes
Noteworthy: Breakfast tacos 99 cents before 10 a.m.
In this city, freshly brewed coffee, the light toasted notes of flour tortillas heating, a touch of bacon or chorizo and a bit of corn tortilla hitting hot oil are comforting aromas.
Combine these with a friendly staff, fast service and some good breakfast tacos and it's easy to see why most of the tables at Carmelita's fill up quickly in the mornings.
It's a classic, comfortable San Antonio taquería.
Flour tortillas are a little on the thick side, as they should be. They'd be even better if they were a touch thicker with slightly less fat, but they're still better than the thin ones that are staples of supermarkets and many other restaurants.
Some of the classic fillings — bacon and egg, potato and egg, bean and cheese — were fine. The eggs could have been taken off the heat a few moments sooner, but a squeeze of some tasty red salsa made us forget about. And the beans had plenty of good flavor, with enough lard to make them interesting but not so much that they overpowered the beans.
The rest of the menu has enough of what you're looking for. Folks here serve breakfast all day, so we couldn't resist trying the huevos rancheros at lunch. Although the tomato-rich red sauce that topped the eggs had bright and spicy overtones, the eggs and potatoes needed a bit of salt.
An order of nachos was carefully arranged, with some melted processed cheese, beans and ground beef placed on crisp corn tortilla quarters. They're a familiar rendition that's fine but would be better with a dollop of guacamole and a slice of pickled jalapeño. Since the tortillas are kind of thick, they keep their texture even with the toppings.
The Shrimp a la Diabla dish features a pleasantly spicy but not overwhelming sauce. The shrimp themselves are nicely cooked. And unlike many places, they're not overcooked.
If you want to experience a little of just about everything, get the Carmelita's platter, with a cheese enchilada, tostada, flauta, puffy taco, rice, beans, guacamole and sour cream. Don't expect to finish it all, but it's fun trying anyway.

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Values and Public Policy
The University Center for Human Values and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs invite applications for postdoctoral positions in Values and Public Policy. We aim to support highly promising scholars trained in moral and political philosophy, political theory, normative economics and related areas to develop a research agenda in the ethical dimensions of public policy.
Candidates selected will undertake a research project exploring a normative problem arising in an area of public policy in which the Woodrow Wilson School conducts research. They will be affiliated with a unit of the School that can inform and support their work. They will also be invited to participate in programs of the University Center for Human Values. Candidates will be expected to contribute one course each year to the School's undergraduate or graduate program on a topic related to ethical issues in public policy, subject to sufficient enrollment and approval by the Dean of the Faculty.
Applicant's dissertation research need not be specifically in values and public policy, but they will be expected to demonstrate a commitment to working on a research project in this area during their time at Princeton. Projects must be related to an area in which the School has a Center or Program (such as science and environmental policy, health and well-being, democratic institutions and processes, information technology policy or globalization and governance). For more information about these areas, please consult http://wws.princeton.edu/centers-programs/.
Applications will be evaluated on the basis of the applicant's previous accomplishments, the promise of the proposed research project in values and public policy, and the likelihood that the project will be enhanced by being carried out at the Woodrow Wilson School. The capacity to contribute to the University's teaching program will also be taken into account.
Term of Appointment
The term of appointment is one year, normally beginning September 1, 2015, with the expectation of renewal for one further year assuming good performance. Applicants are expected to be in residence for the duration of the appointment. Princeton offers competitive salary and employee benefits.
Application Procedure
We are no longer accepting Values and Public Policy Postdoc applications for the 2015-16 academic year. Decisions are expected to be announced by February 27, 2015.

Young Professional looking for lodgings for two week nights per week, central north west londonKings Cross, London
- Date wanted
- 08 Jan 2013
- Posted
- 908 days ago
I am a 35 year old female physiotherapist looking for two nights per week lodgings/accomodation within central north west London. My situation is slightly unusual in that I am based and live in Brussels with my husband but work 3 days and stay 2 nights per week in London. I currently work tuesdays, wednesdays and thursdays as a physiotherapist at St Pancras Hospital, Camden, so am looking for lodgings on tuesday and wednesday nights. I have been doing this for 2 years and currently stay in East London but am finding the travel time to work from East London too much. I am looking to relocate in the Camden/Islington area so that my commute to work is more managable when Im in London. I am a very trustworthy and responsible lodger and can provide references on request. I am looking to lodge for a minimum of 6 months but ideally longer as my current employment is permanent. I currently pay £170 per month but am open to paying more for a more central location. I am looking to move the beginning of January 2013. Please do not hesitate to contact me if my advert is of interest to you.

The only time it gets called is from the VAC when you go to an archives deleted item tabs and hit restore
It changed the indexseqno in the save set table, updates the index and removes the journaldelete entry

Fighter planes are an essential piece of any state's barrier today. These fighter jets are made particularly on request and are then traded to the countries focused around key and political coordination.
1. F 22 Raptor
The deadliest fighter air ship of the world and the most discriminating part of the United States Air Force, F-22 Raptor is a fifth era fighter plane, broadly acknowledged for its super-readiness, sensor combination, supercruise rate and deadly assaulting abilities on most noteworthy conceivable operational height. A fusion of sensor capacity, coordinated flying, situational awareness, and weapons gives first-execute open door against dangers. The F-22 has a modern sensor suite allowing the pilot to track, distinguish, shoot and execute aerial dangers before being discovered. The F-22 has a huge capacity to assault surface targets. Circulating everywhere to-ground design the air ship can convey two 1,000-pound GBU-32 Joint Direct Attack Munitions inside and will use ready for route and weapons conveyance help.
2. Sukhoi Su-35
The Sukhoi Su-35 is a solitary seat, twin-engined supermaneuverability enabled multirole fighter jet. Among the Su-35 configuration characteristics, worthy of note is the nonattendance of an overhead brake fold, a standard normal for the Su-27. Its capacities are performed by a dynamic rudder. The Su-35 case has been strengthened due to the expanded takeoff and landing weight of the flying machine. For the same reason, the front bearing has two wheels. An alternate essential contrast of the Su-35 from antecedents from the Su-27 family is the utilization, in its energy plant, of new engines with an expanded push.
3. Eurofighter Typhoon
Composed and manufactured by a syndicate of four separate organizations from UK, Italy, Spain and Germany, this fighter plane holds a long track of shrubs in warfare. The Eurofighter Typhoon utilizes a refined incorporated protection framework "Praetorian" which screens aerial and surface-to-air dangers and can reacts different dangers simultaneously. Eurofighter Typhoon has a foreplane/delta wing setup that is aero mechanically temperamental in the subsonic range. Low recognisability technology is joined in the fundamental outline. The synthesis of low visual recognition; low radar reflection; utilization of inactive, frameworks.
4. SU-30 MKI: Super Sukhoi
SU-30mki`s not at first intended to convey atomic or key weapons, yet recently developed IAF will get 40 redesigned Su-30mkis fit for convey the Brahmos voyage missile conceivably by 2012. Moreover, there are likewise plans to coordinate the atomic competent Nirbhay missile with the aircraft too. In May 2010, Russia had won an expansive contract to update 40 Su-30mki fighters with new radars, installed workstations, electronic warfare frameworks and the capability to convey the Brahmos missile.
5. Rafale
A deadly air matchless quality fighter generally known for its unparalleled aerial battle capacities, Rafale is the product of French Engineering This fighter plane backings an electronic warfare framework, SPECTRA, which defends the aircraft from ground and airborne dangers. This fighter plane additionally aids the constant era of three- dimensional maps that are utilized as a part of long-range block attempt and targeting. Rafale is a twin-jet battle aircraft fit for doing an extensive variety of short and long-range missions, including ground and ocean assault, air guard and air predominance, observation, and high-exactness strike or atomic strike prevention.
6. JAS 39 Gripen NG
Embodying eight hardpoints to pass on a few missiles and shells, the JAS 39 Gripen is a lightweight fighter plane best known for its delta wing-canard configuration and high mobility. This fighter plane backs an advanced PS- 05/A beat doppler X-band radar which is equipped for watching and recognizing targets 120 km away. It can likewise assault targets past visual range by channelizing aerial missiles. It has an electronically-examined cluster (AESA) radar focused around the PS-05/A, now being developed by Ericsson. An AESA comprises of a cluster of programmable "transmit-get (TR)" modules that can work in parallel to perform separate or community oriented capacities.
7. F/A-18 Super Hornet
It is a Supersonic bearer skilled fighter aircraft. There is a solitary seat variation and in addition a pair seat variation which is bigger and more progressive subordinates of the F/A-18c and D Hornet. The Super Hornet has an inward 20 mm gun and can convey aerial missiles and air-to-surface weapons. Extra fuel could be conveyed with up to five outside fuel tanks and the aircraft might be designed as an airborne tanker by including an outer air refuelling framework. It is utilized by the US Navy since 1992.
No other fighter in the historical backdrop of airborne battle has a record that even verges on the Eagle's. The F-15 is far better than the majority of its brethren – route superior to the F-4 – quickening better, turning better, and taking care of better. Truth be told, such is the notoriety of the F-15 that amid the opening period of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Saddam Hussein's flying corps essentially declined to get circulating everywhere. They knew the F-15 would simply thump them out of the sky. The Eagle's air prevalence is attained through a mixture of phenomenal mobility and speeding up, range, weapons and flying. It can infiltrate enemy barrier and beat and outfight any present enemy aircraft.
The F-16 is called as the "Snake," among pilots. A portion of the best gimmicks of this fighter jet are the Relaxed Static Stability, pilot's seat slanted back 30 degree to cut the g-compel on the pilot, air pocket shade for enhance perceivability and above all, side-mounted control stick to encourage control while channelizing. In an air battle part, the F-16's mobility and battle radius surpass that of all potential danger fighter aircraft. It can spot targets in all climate conditions and recognize low flying aircraft in radar ground mess. In an air-to-surface part, the F-16 can fly more than 500 miles (860 kilometres), convey its weapons with predominant precision, defend itself against enemy aircraft, and come back to its beginning stage.
10. Mirage 2000
Mirage 2000-5 is accessible as a solitary seater or two-seater multirole fighter jet. The joined head-up/ head-level showcase is collimated at unendingness, and presents information identifying with flight control, route, target engagement and weapon shooting. Sensor and framework administration information is displayed on two hued parallel showcases. Mirage 2000 has a total of nine hard points for convey weapon framework payloads: five points on the fuselage and two points on each one wing. The single-seat form is likewise furnished with two inside mounted, high- shooting rate 30mm guns.

Frogbox ends the hunt for cardboard moving boxes
Frogboxes are reusable plastic moving boxes, that users rent in the city they're moving from and drop off in the city they're moving to
Article Summary
Jerry Seinfeld once commented that when you're moving, your whole life becomes centered around finding cardboard boxes. While some moving companies will sell boxes to you, after the move you're then stuck with them, and end up either recycling them after just one use, or filling your basement/garage/attic with the things. If you don't want to scrounge for free boxes or waste the ones you get, however, there is now an alternative – you can rent some reusable polyethylene Frogboxes.

Orange, CA When a fighter who is coming up through the ranks is faced with adversity, he not only has something to prove but realizes that in the presence of immediate danger, he has no option but to take apart his opponent. Such is the scenario for Timothy Desert Storm Bradley (18-0, 10 KOs) who will square off against Nasser The Silencer Athumani (15-3-1, 13 KOs) on Friday, April 13 at The Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, California. Bradley, who is coming off 2 nationally televised ShoBox victories will clash in a grueling 10 rounder against African Champion Athumani, who is known for his dangerous southpaw style and powerful punch..
Im excited to return to Ontario, because its my backyard. I have something to prove in this fight, especially because I have so much support being that I am so close to my home in Palm Springs, said Bradley. I know what I am up against and its a tough challenge but I am so confident in my abilities as a fighter that I am already feeling nostalgia because this could very well be one of the last times my fans will get a chance to see me fight at this venue.

I have written a new presentation, YeSQL: Battling the NoSQL Hype Cycle with Postgres. I have delivered the talk in Chicago and New York City.
I also want to apologize for not blogging in volume like I did in 2013 and prior years. My event schedule has not allowed time for blogging, but I have been saving blogging topics since 2013 (200+ now) and hope to return to it when my schedule allows.
When working with a database, sometimes performance problems are
both far more subtle, and much worse than a query itself might
suggest. The topic of this week's PGDB (PostgreSQL) performance
killers article concerns the use of the
IN clause, and
how misusing it can catastrophically obliterate the database in
mysterious ways.
To that end, we'll use a slightly revised single-table test case since it's served us pretty well so far:
DROP TABLE sys_order; CREATE TABLE sys_order ( order_id SERIAL NOT NULL, product_id INT NOT NULL, item_count INT NOT NULL, order_dt TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now() ); INSERT INTO sys_order (product_id, item_count, order_dt) SELECT (a.id % 100) + 1, (a.id % 100) + 1, now() - (id % 1000 || 'd')::INTERVAL FROM generate_series(1, 1000000) a(id); ALTER TABLE sys_order ADD CONSTRAINT pk_order_order_id PRIMARY KEY (order_id); CREATE INDEX idx_order_product_id ON sys_order (product_id); CREATE INDEX idx_order_order_dt ON sys_order (order_dt); ANALYZE sys_order;
As usual, my test system is a simple dual-CPU VM with 16GB of RAM and some mysterious storage allocation from a SAN. All settings are default, and the version of PostgreSQL is the latest release of the 9.4 branch. I always recommend using the latest version of PGDB when possible, otherwise there's a risk of missing important planner improvements.
As it turns out in this particular story, the
clause is actually pretty well known to most developers I've worked
with. This isn't some obtuse syntax that only experts have
encountered, and it's used regularly in applications and ORMs
through the industry. It's ubiquitous, and consequentially,
extremely dangerous.
Why dangerous? Let's examine a sanitized query I encountered in an actual running production system. Now, our test case is scaled down by a couple orders of magnitude, so the results won't be as drastic as what I encountered. Still, the query below performs much worse than anything we've
This is a topic that has come up in various ways over the years. After the long thread on pg_audit, I thought it might be time to bring it up again.
Contrib according to the docs is:
"These include porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their usefulness."
It has also been mentioned many times over the years that contrib is a holding tank for technology that would hopefully be pushed into core someday.
What I am suggesting:
1. Analyze the current contrib modules for inclusion into -core. A few of these are pretty obvious:
I am sure there will be plenty of fun to be had with what should or shouldn't be merged into core. I think if we argue about the guidelines of how to analyze what should be in core versus the merits of any particular module, life will be easier. Here are some for a start:A. Must have been in contrib for at least two releases
B. Must have visible community (and thus use case)
2. Push the rest out into a .Org project called contrib. Let those who are interested in the technology work on them or use them. This project since it is outside of core proper can work just like other extension projects. Alternately, allow the
The wonderful tail_n_mail program continues to provide me with new mysteries from our Postgres clients. One of the main functions it provides is to send an immediate email to us when an unexpected FATAL (or ERROR or PANIC) message appears in the Postgres logs. While these are often simple application errors, or deeper problems such as running out of disk space, once in a blue moon you see something completely unexpected. Some time ago, I saw a bunch of these messages appear in an email from a tail_n_mail email:
[1] From files A to B Count: 2
First: [A] 2015-12-01T06:30:00 server1 postgres[1948]
Last: [B] 2015-12-01T06:30:00 server2 postgres[29107]
FATAL: unsupported frontend protocol 65363.19778: server supports 1.0 to 3.0
I knew what caused this error in general, but decided to get to the bottom of the problem. Before we go into the specific error, let's review what causes this particular message to appear. When a Postgres client (such as psql or DBD::Pg) connects to Postgres, the first thing it does is to issue a startup message. One of the things included in this request is the version of the Postgres protocol the client wishes to use. Since 2003, Postgres servers have been using version 3.1. It is very rare to see a client or server that uses anything else. Because this protocol number request occurs at the very start of the connection request, non-Postgres programs often trigger this error, because the server is expecting a number at the start of the request.
We can verify this by use of a small Perl script that connects to the server, and sends an invalid protocol request:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use IO::Socket;
my $server = IO::Socket::UNIX->new('/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432')
or die "Could not connect!: $@";
my $packet = pack('nn', 1234,56789) . "user\0pg\0\0";
$packet = pack('N', length($packet) + 4). $packet;
$server->send($packet, 0);
After running the above program, a new error pops up in the Postgres logs as expected:
$ tail -1 /var/lib/pgsql
Postgres 9.5 is bringing a change in the way WAL is archived with the following commit:
commit: de7688442f5aaa03da60416a6aa3474738718803
author: Heikki Linnakangas <firstname.lastname@example.com>
date: Fri, 8 May 2015 21:59:01 +0300
At promotion, archive last segment from old timeline with .partial suffix.
Previously, we would archive the possible-incomplete WAL segment with its
normal filename, but that causes trouble if the server owning that timeline
is still running, and tries to archive the same segment later. It's not nice
for the standby to trip up the master's archival like that. And it's pretty
confusing, anyway, to have an incomplete segment in the archive that's
indistinguishable from a normal, complete segment.
As mentioned in the commit log above, prior to 9.5, a standby would always try to archive at promotion the last, partial WAL segment of the old timeline it was recovering on. This is a behavior that has been present in Postgres for ages, and there were no easy way to make a difference between a segment completely full and one only partially completed.
The data of this last partial segment is available on the segment file of the new timeline for the standby, but its name does not match the one of the old timeline as it uses as prefix the new timeline standby has been promoted on, and it contains data of the new timeline as well. Actually having it is useful when recovering on the old timeline of the master.
Note as well that the pre-9.5 behavior can cause conflicts particularly in the case where a master and its standby(s) point to the same archive location as master would try to archive a complete segment once it is done with it, and standby would archive a partial one with exactly the same name. Advanced users are normally (hopefully) using archiving scripts more advanced than a single copy command, so they may have some internal handling regarding such conflicts enabling them to save both files and make a clear difference from which node the segment has been archived, still it is an

Many database vendors would like me to take a look at their products and consider adopting them for all sorts of purposes. Often they're pitching something quite new and unproven as a replacement for mature, boring technology I'm using happily.
I would consider a new and unproven technology, and I often have. As I've written previously, though, a real evaluation takes a lot of effort, and that makes most evaluations non-starters.
Perhaps the most important thing I'm considering is whether the product is mature. There are different levels of maturity, naturally, but I want to understand whether it's mature enough for me to take a look at it. And in that spirit, it's worth understanding what makes a database mature.
For my purposes, maturity really means demonstrated capability and quality with a lot of thought given to all the little things. The database needs to demonstrate the ability to solve specific problems well and with high quality. Sometimes this comes from customers, sometimes from a large user community (who may not be customers).
Here are some things I'll consider when thinking about a database, in no particular order.
with a
LIMIT clause, which are super-common for web
workloads, did way more work than they needed to in older versions
of MySQL. (It's better now, but the scars remain in my mind).
PostgreSQL 9.4 extends the SQL standard by inserting two new clauses that facilitate many operations required during the development of applications: the WITHIN GROUP and FILTER clauses.
WITHIN GROUP clause
WITHIN GROUP clause is particularly useful when
performing aggregations on ordered subsets of data.
PostgreSQL introduced window functions since version
9.0 in order to work on subsets of data that can be correlated to
each current record of tables, defining a sort of "aggregates"
centred on any specific record as the query is gradually executed
via the SQL
OVER(PARTITION BY/ORDER BY) clause and by
using the functions
that can be performed on those aggregations.
With version 9.4 of PostgreSQL the SQL
clause was introduced: this simplified many operations that had
previously only been possible with the use of the window functions,
defining aggregations of ordered subsets of data.
In addition, new functions were introduced that can be applied to these subsets and expand the collection of available window
for the calculation of
mode() a statistical function that calculates the
mode on ordered
cume_dist(): window
functions already available in PostgreSQL to be executed on the
subsets obtained using the
BY) clause and now able to take as a parameter ordered
subsets produced by the
WITHIN GROUP clause.
To better clarify the situation, let's say, for example, that we
want to calculate the 25th, the 50th, the 75th and the 100th
percentile of the first 20 integers. Until now, this was only
possible by dividing the numbers into 4 sets via the
(PARTITION BY/ORDER BY) clause, then order them internally
into 4 ordered subsets from which to then take the maximum value –
for example, by using a CTE:
$ CREATE TABLE t AS SELECT generate_series(1,20) AS val; $ WITH subset AS ( SELECT val, ntile(4) OVER (ORDER BY val) AS tile FROM t ) SELECT
Things are shaping up nicely in PostGIS 2.2 development. We are going to hit feature freeze around June 30th 2015, and plan to ship late August or early September to be in line with PostgreSQL 9.5 release. So far we have committed a couple of neat features most itemized in PostGIS 2.2 New Functions. Many of the really sort after ones will require PostgreSQL 9.5 and GEOS 3.5. The geography measurement enhancements will require Proj 4.9.0+ to take advantage of. Things I'd like to highlight and then later dedicate full-length articles in our BostonGIS Waiting for PostGIS 2.2 series once they've been stress tested.
For the second of my ten part series on hidden PGDB (PostgreSQL) performance killers, I'm going to talk about something called an anti-join. It's not a well-known approach outside of the database world, but due to how it works, it can impart almost magical plan revisions that drastically improve query performance in the right scenario. Developers can add it to a growing bag of tricks when working on database-driven content, since it comes in handy more often than you might expect.
Let's build a test-case, shall we?
CREATE TABLE sys_product ( product_id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, prod_name TEXT NOT NULL, quality INT NOT NULL, descr TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT now() ); INSERT INTO sys_product (prod_name, quality, descr) SELECT 'Product ' || a.id::TEXT, log((a.id % 100) + 1)::INT, 'It does stuff.' FROM generate_series(1, 100000) a(id); CREATE TABLE sys_order ( order_id SERIAL NOT NULL, product_id INT NOT NULL, item_count INT NOT NULL, order_dt TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now(), valid_dt TIMESTAMPTZ NULL ); INSERT INTO sys_order (product_id, item_count, order_dt, valid_dt) SELECT (a.id % 100000) + 1, (a.id % 100) + 1, now() - (id % 1000 || 'd')::INTERVAL, CASE WHEN a.id % 499 = 0 THEN NULL ELSE now() - (id % 999 || 'd')::INTERVAL END FROM generate_series(1, 1000000) a(id); ALTER TABLE sys_order ADD CONSTRAINT pk_order_order_id PRIMARY KEY (order_id); CREATE INDEX idx_order_product_id ON sys_order (product_id); CREATE INDEX idx_order_valid_dt ON sys_order (valid_dt); ANALYZE sys_product; ANALYZE sys_order;
This is a very basic product and order table structure, and
we've used it before in the last installment of this series. The
only columns we've added since last time is the
quality column in
sys_product and the
valid_dt column in
sys_order. This way,
we can introduce some variability into the query plan due to data
The pg_shard extension helps you scale out PostgreSQL for large data sets by transparently distributing tables across many nodes, storing (replicated) shards of the data as regular PostgreSQL tables on worker nodes. With pg_shard, you can perform INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT on a distributed table as if you were using a regular table.
While first-class COPY support is still on the horizon, we've already added a copy_to_distributed_table tool for loading data files, which supports the same formats as COPY. When using this tool, pg_shard creates a temporary 'insert proxy' table which has a trigger that INSERTs into the distributed table. The copy_to_distributed_table script copies a file into the insert proxy.
Below we give an example of loading customer reviews data using the example from the pg_shard github page and the copy_to_distributed_table script that comes with pg_shard.
copy_to_distributed_table -C customer_reviews_1998.csv customer_reviews
Some users have noticed that pg_shard performs poorly when performing many INSERTs over a single connection and the same applies to copy_to_distributed_table. The reason is simple: pg_shard has to wait for a network round-trip on every INSERT. Since there is no notion of parallelism within a single PostgreSQL connection, consecutive INSERTs on the same connection will have to wait. However, pg_shard can still handle more INSERTs on other connections while waiting.
When loading a large data file, it's therefore recommended to split the file into multiple chunks first and use xargs -P 64 to load the chunks concurrently. The commands below have the same effect as the command above, but run much faster.
mkdir chunks split -n l/64 customer_reviews_1998.csv chunks/ find chunks/ -type f | xargs -n 1 -P 64 sh -c 'echo $0 `copy_to_distributed_table -C $0 customer_reviews`'
On a c3.8xlarge EC2 instance, using parallel data loading for pg_shard is roughly 40x faster and inserts around 50,000 rows per second in the above example, but there are many ways of scaling out pg_sh
This is just the straight HTML dump that is generated from Docbook but since it is inline the links won't work. <!a href="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/backup-dump.html">The current -devel docs are here and the updated version I am working is below:
PostgreSQL provides the program <!a href="app-pgdump.html">pg_dump for generating a backup file with SQL commands that, when fed back to the server, will recreate the database in the same state as it was at the time of the dump. The basic usage of <!a href="app-pgdump.html">pg_dump is:
pg_dump -C -F p -f outfile dbname
The use of -C ensures that the dump file will contain the requisite <!a href="sql-createdatabase.html">CREATE DATABASE command within the dump file. The use of -Fp ensures that you are using the plain text format and the use of -f allows you to specify the name of the file the dump will be written to. It is also possible for pg_dump to create files in other formats that allow for parallelism and fine-grained control of object backup or restoration. For more details on all options available to pg_dump please refer to the <!a href="app-pgdump.html">pg_dump reference page.
The pg_dump application requires read access to all objects within the database that it will be operating with. This generally requires database super-user access. It is possible for any database user to use pg_dump to backup the objects that they own regardless of super-user access. This can be achieved using options such as -n schema or -t table.
The primary advantage of using pg_dump over the other backup methods described is that pg_dump
A couple of days back the following commit has landed in the Postgres world, for the upcoming 9.5 release:
commit: a486e35706eaea17e27e5fa0a2de6bc98546de1e
author: Peter Eisentraut <firstname.lastname@example.com>

Add pg_settings.pending_restart column
with input from David G. Johnston, Robert Haas, Michael Paquier
Particularly useful for system doing a lot of server parameter updates, this allows tracking parameters in need of a server restart when their value is updated to have the new value take effect on the system. Note that this applies to all the parameters marked as PGC_POSTMASTER in guc.c, shared_buffers being one, as well as the custom parameters a system may have after their load by a plugin. This information is tracked by a new column called pending_restart in the system view pg_settings with a boolean value set to "true" if a given GUC parameter is indeed waiting for a server restart.
In order to make visible the fact that parameter waits for a restart, the server can have its parameters be reloaded with either pg_reload_conf(), "pg_ctl reload" or a SIGHUP signal. Of course, modifications made in postgresql.conf, as well as any configuration files included, or ALTER SYSTEM are taken into account. See for example:
=# \! echo "port = 6666" > $PGDATA/postgresql.conf
=# ALTER SYSTEM SET shared_buffers TO '1GB';
=# SELECT pg_reload_conf();
(1 row)
=# SELECT name FROM pg_settings WHERE pending_restart;
(2 rows)
This will prove to be useful for many systems around, like those doing automatic tuning of system parameters or even containers (not limited to it of course).
The release of PostgreSQL 9.5 is imminent so the time has come to analyse what's new in this latest version.
A very interesting feature of version 9.5 is the ability to
import a schema from a remote database, using
Foreign Data
Wrapper and the
Before the introduction of
Foreign Data
Wrappers, the only way to connect a Postgres database
with an external data source was using the dblink module.
In 2003 the set of rules for the standard management of external
data sources was defined within the SQL
SQL/MED (management of external
PostgreSQL 9.1 introduced a first implementation of the standard
SQL/MED with the
Foreign Data Wrappers, which provided Postgres
with direct access to data sources such as files or other databases
(Oracle, Mysql…), allowing their use as tables.
The advantage of this approach is obvious: it gives you the ability to connect to an external data source to extract data natively by running a simple query. The fact that it is not necessary to use external modules to obtain this result considerably simplifies the DBAs' work.
If you want to know more, take a look at our 2011 blog post: PostgreSQL 9.1: Tabelle esterne con SQL/MED (Warning: blog post in Italian).
PostgreSQL 9.3
introduces the support for
Foreign Data Wrappers in
writing (Warning: blog post in Italian) and
also added support to the foreign data wrapper for PostgreSQL.
Let's have a look at a simple example of how to use an
FDW by connecting together two Postgres databases.
First we create two databases:
CREATE DATABASE source; CREATE DATABASE destination;
Within the
source we create a test table with test
\c source CREATE TABLE test1 AS SELECT id, md5(random()::text) FROM generate_series(1,5) id;
Now we connect to the
destination db and then,
connect the two databases:
\c destination CREATE EXTENSION postgres_fdw ; CREATE SERVER src_srv FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER postgres_fdw OPTIONS( dbname 'source' ); CREATE
You can try this code on PostgreSQL 9.4 - and you can get time 450
and 220ms. Same code needs 6 and 5 ms only on PostgreSQL 9.5! It is
more than one order speedup.
DECLARE a int[] = array_fill(10, ARRAY[10000]);
FOR i IN 1 .. 10000 LOOP
a[i] := 0;
DECLARE a int[] = '{}';
FOR i IN 1 .. 10000 LOOP
a := a || 10;
Determining if your current database connection is using PgBouncer, or going directly to Postgres itself, can be challenging, as PgBouncer is a very low-level, transparent interface. It is possible, and here are some detection methods you can use.
This was inspired by someone asking on the Perl DBD IRC channel if it was possible to easily tell if your current database handle (usually "$dbh") is connected to PgBouncer or not. Since I've seen this question asked in other venues, I decided to take a crack at it.
There are actually two questions to be answered: (1) are we connected to PgBouncer, and if so, (2) what pool_mode is being run? The quickest and easiest wat I found to answer the first question is to try and connect to a non-existent database. Normally, this is a FATAL message, as seen here:
$ psql testdb -p 5432
testdb=# \c ghostdb
FATAL: database "ghostdb" does not exist
Previous connection kept
However, a slightly different ERROR message is returned if the same thing is attempted while connected to PgBouncer:
$ psql testdb -p 6432
testdb=# \c ghostdb
ERROR: No such database: ghostdb
Previous connection kept
Thus, an ERROR will always indicate that you are connected to PgBouncer and not directly to Postgres, which will always issue a FATAL.
In the future, there will be an even simpler method. As of this writing, pgBouncer 1.6 has not been released, but it will have the ability to customize the application_name. This is a configurable session-level variable that is fairly new in Postgres. Andrew Dunstan wrote a patch which enables adding this to your pgbouncer.ini file:
application_name_add_host = 1
This will make PgBouncer modify the application_name to append some information to it such as the remote host, the remote port, and the local port. This is a feature many PgBouncer users will appreciate, as it offers an escape from the black hole of connection information that PgBouncer suffers from. Here is what it looks like on both a normal Postgres conne

CamCard Lite - Business Card R is a business card scanner
CamCard captures business card images by using your phone back camera as a scanner. It catches first names, last name, phone, e-mail, address and other extra info and put it into form labels. By this way you will be able to turn a physical business card into a vcard. Once you've caught all the data, confirm that everything is in its label and save it You will be able then to save the contact to your phonebook or to the app database, save it to your Gmail account or share it by SMS or other means. It also scans the image of the business card if it has one.
It has to be said that the scanning is quite accurate and it did it well with all the card we've tried. One of the features we really liked is the QR code generation/recognition for contact's content. And also that it has support business card recognition for several languages. CamCard has been integrated with LinkedIn and you can search/invite the card holder directly from the app.
Take in account that this is the Lite version, that will allow you to scan less than 10 business card each week. But if you need to scan more than that amount per week you'll need to upgrade to the paid versions which costs ($11.99).
CamCard has been developed by IntSig Information Co., Ltd, an app developer who has just launched this app (and its different versions) to the market with remarkably success.
This app is especially useful for those who constantly get business card from contacts and want to put in order them safely in his/her device. If that's your case, give it a try. But take in account that the Lite version let you scan maximum 10 business cards per week. If you need more, you'll have to upgrade to the unlimited version.

Plastic surgeon C. Andrew Salzberg is among those who offer mastectomy and reconstruction in a single surgery when appropriate. Most post-mastectomy reconstruction is performed after a tissue expander has stretched the chest wall behind the pectoralis major muscle to make room for the implant. In the combined procedure, sterile tissue can be used to hold the implant in place. Insurance can cover the procedure for women with a strong genetic risk for breast cancer, but it may not be appropriate for women who will undergo chemotherapy or radiation.

SDSU leads 21-0, routs SD Christian
Otherwise, it was a night of large numbers. Five Aztecs scored in double figures: Davis, JJ O'Brien (16 points), Polee (14), Matt Shrigley (14) and Winston Shepard (10). They had a 54-14 advantage on points in the paint, 25-6 on fast breaks, 44-19 in bench scoring. They had 51 total rebounds, 12 steals, nine blocks.
But the smiles and giggles turn serious next week, when SDSU opens the Wooden Legacy tournament in Fullerton against a dangerous College of Charleston team, followed by No. 23 Creighton or an Arizona State team fresh off a win at UNLV, followed maybe by No. 25 Marquette.
"It gets a whole lot harder moving forward," Fisher said, "and everybody knows that."
Freshman guard D'Erryl Williams did not suit up after rolling an ankle in practice on Monday. He is expected to be fine for next week … The game counts on SDSU's record but officially is an exhibition for the Hawks, which entered the night 1-2. They play at USD on Thursday, their third game in as many days … The Hawks finished 12-of-54. SDSU shot 37-of-65 (56.9 percent) … SDSU has won 16 straight in the next home game following a home loss, and they have now gone 130 straight home games without consecutive losses …
The Aztecs won their 35th straight game against teams from the state of California. Their next in-state opponent is at USD on Dec. 5 … The 52-point spread was the second largest in Viejas Arena history, behind a 103-49 thumping of Southern California College (then called Vangard) in 1998 … A sign held up in The Show as San Diego Christian walked off the floor: "Can we play your men's team now?"

When you are editing, you're usually told to use effects sparingly since a little usually goes along way and you don't want to overdo it. Sometimes, however, you want a look that is not quite as subtle. If this is the case, one option might be to utilize an effect known as the "old film" effect (old movie look, vintage film, etc...) In this week's Reel Rebel, Stephen gives us a tutorial on how to create the "old film" look effect in either Adobe Premier or iMovie.
Video professionals have experience in giving their film a slightly used vintage, older look. They can make it to look natural which usually requires expensive equipment. For those who don't have that kind of equipment, the Old Movie effect can be a fun addition that adds an element of silliness to your clips and keep your audience engaged.
How to Create the "Old Film" Effect using iMovie
The good news is that even if you're only used to basic editing tips, the Old Movie effect is super easy to apply and requires very minimal work. To create it, it's a basic click and drag.
There are basically two ways to achieve this effect in iMovie:
- Aged Film—This is an effect that is used to make your video clips look like they were filmed a long time ago and are playing on a shaky projector.
- Film Grain--Film grain or granularity is the random optical texture of processed film due to the presence of small particles. While film grain is a function of these particles, it is not the same thing. It is an optical effect that can make your image grainy and appear much older than it is.
If you're an iMovie user you simply open up the effects browser and then apply Aged Film, Film Grain, or both. These effects will first add the "film scratches" you want. Adding the grain will give it just the right amount of dirtiness to your footage to look more like it was shot on older film stock.
How to Create the "Old Film" Look in Adobe Premiere
If you are using Adobe Premiere, you have to do a bit more work to achieve the old film look.
- Acquire an Old Film overlay. Here's an old-film overlay template file for using in Adobe Premier (download here)
- Put your old film overlay layer above your footage in the timeline.
- Open the motion controls in the effects panel for that overlay.
- Drop down your opacity menu.
- In the Blend Mode select Multiply.
Additional Effects for Creating that Vintage Look
If you choose to, you can add more effects.
- Noise effect—This doesn't add audio. It just gives the footage a grainy look and dirties it up a little bit.
- Adjust the color to your liking—Old films never looked like they do now. They began in black and white; 8mm film has kind of an orange tint to it. Use the Tint filter and adjust the settings to a color you like.
- Change the framerate—This will depend on how old you want the footage to look. Films now show at 24 frames per second, but older films like silent or 8 mm home videos playback was closer to 14 or 18 frames per second. Use the posterize time effect and adjust the frame rate down to what you desire.
Once you have everything there, you have the ability to tweak these options until you wind up with a result you like. If you're looking to make an authentic looking silent picture, aiming for an old west look, or even just transitioning from one time period to another, the old movie look may have exactly what you need.

Ice cream will be just a part of a social event aimed at welcoming back Sampson Community College students while offering awareness of substance abuse and the local resources available to those who need them.
Courtney Boyette, community relations specialist for Eastpointe Managed Care Organization, said the Sampson County Methamphetamine Task Force sponsors the Ice Cream Social for Recovery Month with Sampson Community College.
The social will be held Wednesday, Sept. 24, from 12-2 p.m., in the college's Student Center.
"We do an Ice Cream Social each September to celebrate 'Recovery Month.' Recovery can be from substance abuse, Mental Health Disorder or both as many individuals we work with have a dual diagnosis, (such as) depression and addiction," said Boyette, who is organizing the event. "It is a fun event to show that being clean and sober can be cool. The goal is to reduce the stigma of seeking treatment and get information into the community to begin conversation about these issues."
Boyette said the event is a great way to officially welcome students and staff back to SCC for the fall semester and share local resources from agencies and organization.
The Meth Task Force works with the college's Counseling Department, notably Sharon Leggett, to put on the social. Other local stakeholders, including mental health providers, Department of Social Services and Health Department, also participate.
As part of the event, the college's students and staff are provided with ice cream along with Substance Abuse/Mental Health Education and Prevention materials and brochures explaining how to access professional treatment in the community. Of the many resources available, students are told about the crisis walk-in clinic at CommWell Health in Clinton, as well as the Easter Seals Mobile Crisis Team.
"The goal is to celebrate recovery and provide education and outreach materials on substance abuse and mental health," she said.
Boyette said flyers will be distributed in the coming weeks and the annual event is always open to suggestions, ideas and feedback. The response was positive last year. Boyette is hoping for the same next month.
"We provided ice cream to several hundred students last year and it was a great success and a lot of fun," she attested. "We were able to identify some 'at-risk' students who needed to be directed to treatment in the community."

How would you sum up the professional snooker season gone by?
I must say that I am extremely satisfied with the two years of being a professional. Being in England six months in a year as a foreigner is not easy. That I have been able to progress as a player and win matches against some really top players makes me extremely happy. I feel I have a certain ability to perform and do well over there. But more than that, more than the rankings, the results and numbers and statistics, it has been a journey of improvement. I have been able to improve myself as a player. I felt that when I was playing in India, I was stagnating a bit, especially in snooker. It was then I said I have to go England to hone my skills. I am glad I did it, even if it was for two years. I don't know what the future holds but I am really happy with the progress I have made.
Being a champion yourself, how tough is the professional snooker?
We are talking about snooker only. There is a way of playing the game which we will not realise when we stay in India. We have got to go out and play that kind of game with them. Initially, you are going to lose because you are raw. But over a period of time, you are going to learn. Some players have taken five years or 10 years to learn the professional game because it is a different ball game. Fortunately for me, I learnt really fast. In the first two or three months, I was able to perform at a very high level. There is a difference in the way they play. When you have so many tournaments throughout the year, when you have that much opportunity, prize money and the rewards that are equal to the effort, you want to give your best. Especially for the UK players, as they are playing at home. But for foreigners, funding becomes an issue, staying abroad becomes another issue. It is difficult for foreigners to make a mark and that is why you see only three Asians making a mark – Ding Junhui (4th rank) from China, Marco Fu (29th rank) from Hong Kong, James Wattana from Thailand.
How did you cope up with such challenges?
Even if you are not strong, when you go there and play with them away from home, it makes you tougher as a player and as a person. I am glad I went there, got tougher not only on the table but off the table also. Roughing it out, taking flights at weird hours, managing with food that is not to my liking, different time zones, going out of my comfort zone. To me, not just the game, but that part of me has also developed and I have actually become stronger. I am glad I chose to go there for two years. Who knows what is there in the future.
What are your goals for the coming season?
I am taking it one day at a time. I am enjoying playing billiards all over again. I would like to play more billiards tournaments that I missed out in the last one and a half years. Actually, I have not played the world championship for two years. I would like to definitely play some more billiards events, maintain the level that I have reached and try and up that as well. I am not a person who sets too many targets. I just take as it comes, go with the flow and see what happens.
Having played billiards before and being a champion, is it difficult to regain the touch in billiards?
Oh, it is different. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone will understand this except me. I have played billiards and snooker at the highest level and people will never understand how difficult it is to switch from one game to another. That has been my aim from the beginning. I wanted to play both billiards and snooker. I did not want to stick to one sport and do something totally unique.
What are your other interests?
I used to swim a long time ago. I am fond of dance, English and Hindi films, reading once in a while. Since I travel so much, I explore many places.
How keenly do you follow football?
I do follow the English Premier League a bit. I'm a big Manchester United fan. They had a disappointing season by their own standards. With the football World Cup coming up, I'd like to see Germany do well. I am a big supporter of Germany, especially Miroslav Klose, who is one of the highest scorers Germany have had. I am rooting for them and hopefully they do well.
Since you have been in England for two years, did you catch up with any Premier League game live?
I did go once to see Manchester United play Everton late last year. Unfortunately, Man United lost (0-1). It was an electrifying atmosphere, 75,000 people in one stadium. I don't think any sport can get bigger than that in the world. Not even the IPL, not even basketball in America. That was massive. It was amazing. It was so well organised, there was no jostling around, everything was systematic. The match was played under lights. It was a beautiful atmosphere.
Will you watch live World Cup football?
Of course the World Cup is something that will generate a lot of interest. I will try and watch a few matches, not every one of them. I am also looking forward to the French Open in tennis. It will be interesting to see if Rafael Nadal actually wins another French Open. There are a lot of doubts over that. It will be interesting to see what happens. I will catch up with French Open more than anything else.
Are you a Nadal fan or a tennis fan in general?
I am more of a Roger Federer fan. Actually, only a Federer fan. Because there is a certain grace and poise with which he plays the game and you don't see any other athlete do that. For me, when you play sport, it is about playing the game beautifully and with an easy style. Nadal is very mentally tough and, of course, he has got positive qualities. But for me, Federer is the ultimate.
You would have had chance to interact with other sports stars, haven't you?
I do know a few Indian sportspersons across a few disciplines. Shooters Gagan Narang, Abhinav Bindra, Olympian swimmers Shikha Tandon and Nisha Millet besides a few others. It is nice to know what they go through as well in their journey, in their careers. Sometimes, when we play our game and we face with some difficulties, we think we are the only ones who are going through those hardships. But all the Indian sportspersons are finding it very difficult. They do find it difficult at some stage or the other. It is nice to interact with them.

MAC Girls Basketball Game of the Week - Versailles at Fort Recovery
January 16, 2013Midwest Athletic Conference (MAC)
As we hit the midpoint of the 2012-13 girls basketball season, only two teams remain unbeaten in the race for the Midwest Athletic Conference championship. The Versailles Tigers are currently 13-1 overall and 5-0 in the league, while the Fort Recovery Indians sit unblemished at 4-0 in the conference and are 10-2 overall. Following their battle this Thursday at the Fort Site Fieldhouse, there will be only one at the top of the conference mountain. "We are a relatively inexperienced team and are constantly trying to get better," explained Fort Recovery head coach Doug Bihn. "We have several players who have gotten better, now we just need to transform that into the team getting better. We always want to be able to compete for the league title - it hasn't been won here in a quite a while."
The Tigers have been remarkable this season with their only setback coming on December 29 by two points against Fort Loramie. Since then, the Tigers have dominated three games against Parkway, St. Henry, and Sidney Lehman by an average margin of nearly 40 points per game. Katie Heckman and Christa Puthoff continue to lead the Orange and Black in scoring by hitting for just over ten points per game, while Puthoff also leads the squad in rebounding with six each time out. "I really don't think we have had a 'star' in each game, but we have girls that have improved their game over the past few games we have played in," Versailles head coach Jacki Stonebraker commented. "Our guard play has really stepped up their game and improved the past few games. This week will be a huge test for us - Ft. Recovery is a very solid team that likes to control the tempo of the game and forces you into careless mistakes with the basketball. They have a high-pressured defense that creates turnovers, so we must take care of the basketball and contain Lennartz in the half court."
Fort Recovery has been just as dominating on the hardwood in the past couple of months, led by Tori Lennartz in the scoring and rebounding categories. "I'm not sure we have any stars, it takes everything and everyone we have to win and accomplish our goals," Bihn emphasized. "We need to get better defensively and offensively to compete at the level it takes to win the league. Versailles is a very deep and big team - they are very athletic, push the ball, and are very good defensively. They are also well-coached and disciplined - we will need to shoot the ball with confidence, handle their pressure, and rebound if we want to come out on top."
In terms of winning the Midwest Athletic Conference title, Stonebraker points out this league game is another important step in accomplishing one of her team's goals this season. "The girls started the year wanting to make a statement in the MAC," she remarked. "It's been a while since we have been in the running for a MAC title and the girls made it a goal to be at the top this year. Our first step was to believe we could do it. Right now, they are focused and know that they can control their own destiny, just like Ft. Recovery does."
