TokuDB® vs. InnoDB HDDs
iiBench Testing
Tokutek created the iiBench benchmark in 2008. The point of the benchmark is to measure the performance of indexed insertions over time. It uses an extremely simple schema, one table with a sequential insertion pattern for the primary key along with three integer fields storing random values. The table maintains 3 secondary indexes, each including several of the random integer fields. The iiBench application itself is currently maintained on Launchpad. The source code for iiBench is on GitHub.
iiBench: Over 16x Faster Insertions
The results below show the insertion of 1 billion rows into a table while maintaining three multicolumn secondary indexes. At the end of the test, TokuDB's insertion rate remained at 17,028 inserts/second whereas InnoDB had dropped to 1,050 inserts/second. That's a difference of over 16x.
Platform: Ubuntu 10.10; 2x Xeon X5460; 16GB RAM; 8x 146GB 10k SAS in RAID10
Replication: Eliminate Slave Lag
MySQL's single threaded design often leads to slave lag. With TokuDB, slave lag is eliminated. This insures replication can be used for read scaling, backups, and disaster recovery, without resorting to sharding, expensive hardware, or placing limits on what can be replicated.The graph below shows the slave trying to keep up with new orders in a TPCC-like environment. At 1,000 TPS there is no lag for InnoDB or TokuDB. Beyond that, MySQL with InnoDB begins to fall behind.
Platform: Master – Centos 5.6; 2x Xeon L5520; 72GB RAM; 8x 300GB 10k SAS in RAID10. Slave – Centos 5.7; 2x Xeon E5310; 8GB RAM; 6x 1TB SATA with 2 in RAID1 and 4 in RAID0
Compression: Highest Compression
Compression is an always-on feature of TokuDB. We tested InnoDB compression with two values of key_block_size (4k and 8k) and with compression disabled. To find the maximum compression, we loaded some web application performance data (log style data with stored procedure names, database instance names, begin and ending execution timestamps, duration row counts, and parameter values). TokuDB achieved 29x compression, far more than InnoDB.
Platform: Ubuntu 11.04; Intel Corei7/920 @ 3.6Ghz; 12GB RAM; 2x 7.2k SATA
SysBench: Up to 70% Faster
This is a SysBench comparison of InnoDB 1.1.8 and TokuDB v6.0. Prior to the run we started the database from a cold back-up (the cache is empty at the beginning of the 1 client thread run) and ran for 1 hour at each number of client threads. The following graph shows a significant performance improvement at all levels of concurrency. The values shown are the average transactions per second for the final 15 minutes of the benchmark.
Platform: CentOS 5.7; 2x Xeon L5520; 72GB RAM; 8x 300GB 10k SAS in RAID10
This is a comparison of InnoDB 1.1.8 and TokuDB v5.2 on a 5000 warehouse database. The horizontal axis shows the number of clients and the vertical axis shows throughput (New Order Transactions/10 seconds). TokuDB has improved with the release of TokuDB v5.2 to be on parity to InnoDB 1.1.8 for this benchmark.
Platform: CentOS 5.7; 2x Xeon L5520; 72GB RAM; 8x 300GB 10k SAS in RAID10
FastLoader: Speed Up of 3.5x for TPC-C Table Loads
Percona's TPC-C for MySQL toolset allows one to measure the query performance for an OLTP workload on various MySQL storage engines. The toolset includes a program to load the database tables, and a program to run queries and measure performance. We have found Percona's TPC-C toolset to be extremely useful for tuning our software. Since Percona's stock TPC-C toolset doesn't know how to take advantage of TokuDB's bulk load capability, we modified it so it could and benchmarked the results. Our experiments to show this used the latest version of TokuDB release 5.2. We observed a 3x increase in speed over InnoDB when loading the 5000 warehouse TPC-C database into TokuDB using the bulk loader.
Platform: CentOS 5.7; 2x Xeon L5520; 72GB RAM; 8x 300GB 10k SAS in RAID10
Hot Schema: Schema Changes in Seconds, not Hours
TokuDB v5.0 introduced Hot Column Addition (HCAD). You can add or delete columns from an existing table with minimal downtime — just the time for MySQL itself to close and reopen the table. The total downtime is seconds to minutes. We detailed an experiment that showed this in this blog. TokuDB v5.0 also introduced Hot Indexing. You can add an index to an existing table with minimal downtime. The total downtime is seconds to a few minutes, because when the index is finished being built, MySQL closes and reopens the table. This means that the downtime occurs not when the command is issued, but later on. Still, it is quite minimal, as we showed in this blog.
Platform: CentOS 5.5; 2x Xeon E5310; 4GB RAM; 4x 1TB 7.2k SATA in RAID0

Shaq, Odom sued over Power Balance bracelet endorsement
Jan 25, 2011, 6:30 PM EDT
Shaquille O'Neal and Lamar Odom both wear Power Balance bracelets during games. Maybe because they both believe in the product, but it turns out they are also both paid celebrity endorsers of said product.
Now they are being sued over it, part of a class action suit according to RadarOnline.com (via Lakers Nation).
Shaquille O'Neal and Lamar Odom endorse a bogus "performance technology" bracelet that wrongfully claims to "optimize the body's natural energy flow," according to a federal class action lawsuit filed against the pair….
But according to lead plaintiff Brian Casserly, the $79.95 bracelet is "nothing short of snake oil". He is seeking statutory and punitive damages for consumer fraud, false advertising, unfair competition and unjust enrichment.
"Despite defendants' representations that the hologram with enhance consumers' 'strength, balance and flexibility,' it is biologically incapable of doing so," the lawsuit states.
Let's be clear: Putting Shaq and Odom in this lawsuit is a publicity stunt. It's about embarrassing the company to get a settlement. Ultimately it's not about the NBA players, it's about getting money out of the California company and its owners (Josh and Tony Rodarmel and Keith Kato, who also all are named in the lawsuit).
To put it kindly, the Power Balance bracelet is a controversial product. The company sells wristbands that "use holographic technology" to "work with your body's natural energy field" to improve balance and athletic performance.
Laugh if you want — and you probably should, the company had to admit a lack of scientific data, or just watch this video taking down the Power Balance in-person sales pitch — but a lot of NBA players wear these. The Phoenix Suns Jared Dudley tweeted a while back that the Phoenix Suns training staff is a backer of it, but Manu Ginobili called it a "placebo." Which shows is that Manu is smart off the court, too.
The Power Balance connection to the NBA is not going anywhere, however — the company just signed a five-year naming rights deal in Sacramento for what had been known for decades as ARCO Arena. Which means more years of debating if a hologram on your wrist helps your balance.
If the guys in the Power Balance marketing department believe in the old "any publicity is good publicity" adage then they have been killing it lately.

There are tons of placebos in this world with sports being right there near the top. The guy bought one of the bracelets, we need to rid the world of morons like him.
- musilly - Jan 26, 2011 at 1:57 AM
lol, excellent choice of photo there.
- @elotrochele - Jan 26, 2011 at 3:33 PM
We buy junk like these to look "cool" or simply because it's a fad. The reason why I agree with the lawsuit is because the damn things are $79.
At that price, I wouldn't just expect balance and energy flow, I would expect my vertical to be no less of 64″.

Many times parents and players are seeking information on the college soccer and recruitment process. They are not sure where to turn for information. There are so many questions to ask. When do I apply to College? How important are test scores? How do I contact a college coach? Do I need a video? What is the NCAA Clearinghouse? How do I begin the recruitment process?
It is very important to know that no one course is correct for everyone. Each school and coach may handle the process differently for their prospective student-athletes. But there are many things you need to know about the process before you begin.
The club has put together a complete College Soccer Reference Guide (see left) complete with an outline of the process, reference tools, sample letters and important questions to ask. The most valuable resource is your club coach. Please ensure they are engaged in the process with you and that you are active and take personal responsibility in the process.
You already play for the best club in Oklahoma so that is a great way to start! Good luck and we're here to help.
Q2. When can I reach out to a college coach with an email or a phone call?
Prospects can call and email coaches without restriction.
Q3. Can I use social media to enhance my recruiting efforts?
You can reach out to college coaches through social media, ask to be friended, but college coaches cannot reach out to you and send friend requests.
Q4. When can a recruit make an on-campus visit?
A recruit can make unofficial visits to campuses at anytime and there is no limit to unofficial visits . Official visits, visits in which all or a portion of the travel expenses (including airfare, food, and lodging) are paid by the college/university, are allowed after the first day of school in your senior year. Prospects can make one official visit to each school and a total of five official visits prior to graduation.
Q5. What makes me a recruited athlete?
You are classified a recruited athlete if a college initiates a telephone conversation more than one time.
Q6. How many times can a coach come and watch me play?
A college coach is allowed seven interactions (e.g., evaluations and contacts) per prospect during the course a prospect's high school academic calendar. Evaluations are unlimited during summer and winter breaks.
Q7. When can I receive notification of the scholarship offer?
Coaches are allowed to offer scholarships in writing starting the first school day of your senior year. Scholarships may be verbally offered at anytime.
Q8. Can I and or my parents talk with the coach before and/or after the event that the coach has just observed?
During the day(s) of competition, the coach cannot contact you prior to the game in which you are participating or after the game until you are released by your coach and departed the facility.

Protecting NYC's Subway System From Future Storms
By Zachary Stieber On November 19, 2012 @ 12:21 am In New York City | No Comments
NEW YORK—The New York City subway system—built in large part in the early 1900s—has aged considerably over the years. Money for keeping up maintenance has been hard to find, not to mention protecting the valuable asset against any potential future storms.
"It is like an overcoat handed down through four generations and worn every day, yet never much more than patched when an elbow shows through," said Projjal Dutta, the first director of sustainability for the MTA, in a Huffington Post op-ed.
"A system which went into service when the current riders' grandparents were yet unborn, it needs a larger infusion of resources than transit in New York has ever had," continued Dutta. "The scale of infusion requires political championing and popular consensus-building much beyond what an operating agency can muster."
Interviews with experts and those directly involved with transit in New York City, and a review of about a dozen documents pertaining to sea level rise and flooding, show that the future of transit protection is as murky as the unprecedented amounts of corrosive saltwater that lingered in subway tunnels for days and weeks, disrupting millions of New Yorkers.
Now that you throw the storm effects into it, and the extremely corrosive rates of saltwater, you've got a very big problem on your hands.
—Rick Grant, Russell Corrosion Consultant
The jarring impact of Superstorm Sandy was unforeseen, but not unforetold.
Flooding, especially, has over the years forced the MTA to evaluate its entire system. An unexpected storm in August 2007 dumped from 1.4 inches to 3.5 inches of rain in two hours across New York City, overwhelming pumps. That storm was preceded by two others in 2007—in April, 7 inches of rain fell, breaking a 1882 record—and one in 2004.
The latter prompted a review by the MTA's inspector general and its board, and later a change to water and waste management, including the beginning of raising subway grates, which is thought to have prevented some damage from Sandy.
Additionally, a score of reports about the potential effects of a changing climate were published in 2006 and the next four years. Some were read and used by the MTA, which brought some report authors and experts, such as Klaus Jacobs of the Columbia Center for Climate Systems Research, in as advisers.
Dangers included shifting temperatures and heavier rainfall, but perhaps of most concern was the prediction—from at least as far back as 1997—that a sea level rise could begin turning what are called once in 100-year storms into once in 10-year storms, at least before the end of this century.
But these reports, written before hurricane turned Tropical Storm Irene, and years before Superstorm Sandy, were not yet connected to what drives reports home—a manifestation of what they outline.
A principal cause of destruction this time was saltwater . . . read more
"New York City's transit system flooded as never witnessed before," said Rick Grant of Russell Corrosion Consultants, which assesses the condition of transit and other systems.
The subway system, along with other infrastructure such as natural gas lines, power stations, and water supply systems, haven't, for the most part, been around for damage like Sandy wrought. Most were not built with such extreme weather patterns in mind.
A principal cause of destruction in the subway system was that, unlike the 2004 and 2007 storms, saltwater flooded the system.
"Anything metallic, any metallic structure is going to corrode," said Grant. "Now that you throw the storm effects into it, and the extremely corrosive rates of saltwater, you've got a very big problem on your hands."
The life span of some of the thousands of miles of track will be shortened because of the corrosion, and the flooding "is going to wreak some havoc with the electrical components, for sure," Grant added.
The impact of Sandy may have stopped being felt by many New Yorkers by now. But much like those still without power three weeks later, some subway riders are still enduring closures. Portions of the R and No. 1 lines are still closed from storm damage.
Others took more than a week of draining and rehabilitation after the storm, such as the L line. Also, an important link from Southeast Queens to the Rockaway Peninsula, the Broad Channel bridge, was knocked out. Repairs are estimated to take months.
An MTA representative confirmed Sunday that the agency, whether discussing specifics internally at this point or not, continues working on getting the entire system up and running before publicly endorsing solutions to vulnerable areas exposed during the storm.
Meanwhile, Joseph Lhota, chairman and CEO of the authority, said after a recent public meeting that he couldn't talk specifics because hardening infrastructure would have to be a collaboration between multiple parties, including different levels of government, community boards, and real estate owners.
"If you just did certain things for the subways and didn't treat anything else, it's not going to be as effective as if we all work together," he said. "It needs to be comprehensive because of how broad-based the surge is."
The agency has already progressed over the last five years in planning for disaster and identifying weak spots, said Steve Winkelman, director of transportation and adaptation programs at the Center for Clean Air Policy. He, like many others, lauded the agency's preparation, such as how they moved trains to higher elevations and shut down the system before the storm.
The raised grates helped, but they were mostly planned for heavy rainfall. Other measures have also improved the system, and the agency's communication and procedures—such as figuring out when to shut down the system so people aren't left stranded—have greatly improved from even the 2010 blizzard.
But new levels of storm protection are needed. Yet no one knows what, exactly, can be put on the table then put into place quick enough to protect against the next storm—if there is one—that could come in one year or 10.
"The key question is, how do we integrate it into capital and operating budgets? Because you can't protect everything all at once," said Winkelman.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo formed three commissions to research storm preparedness late last week, including one that will in part examine transportation systems. He said earlier this month he's seeking $3.5 billion to repair bridges, tunnels, and transit.
Already dealing with money problems, the MTA has outstanding debt of almost $32 billion, according to an August report from Moody's. The agency spends more than $2 billion a year on debt service. It is planning on increasing fares in March 2013 and March 2015 because, in part, of its increasing debt.
The current capital budget, a four-year budget separate from the operating budget that is used for expanding and maintaining the sprawling and aging system, will end in 2015. The next capital budget doesn't have funding in place but is being developed, and will likely include storm protection work, according to an MTA spokesperson.
One possible protection improvement would be developing gates that can be shut at station entrances, which they use in London. Multiple stations were severely damaged by flooding from Sandy, most notably the South Ferry station in Lower Manhattan, which was rehabbed through 2009 at a cost of more than $500 million.
Lhota, said he expects to be reimbursed almost entirely by FEMA for any damage from the storm. But emergency funding, which almost always comes in much higher after the fact, should be dedicated before more disasters hit, according to John-Michael Cross, policy associate for transportation in communities with the Environmental and Energy Study Institute, which advocates to Congress for innovative policy solutions.
"We're spending billions of dollars on emergency funds every year to the point where they're predictable but we still have no budget for it," he said. "But invariably it's not enough, and [then] it needs to come out of local systems' operating budgets."
Cross also suggests raising the federal gas tax, which gleans 18.4 cents a gallon, since it hasn't been raised for 20 years and has lost purchasing power due to inflation.
The problem, he says, is top management of systems, including the MTA, are expecting more storms and want to invest in strengthening the infrastructure, but are not able to get political support.
"We need to think about spending more in the short term to protect long-term assets, to build things that are going to be around for 80–100 years, because that will save money in the long run," he said.

Ambulance transporting patient stops to pick up hitchhikers
The patient had a blood clot, and filed a complaint after the crew stopped for the pair because they were on a dangerous road
CORNWALL, England — An ambulance crew taking a man to hospital stopped to pick up two hitchhikers on route.
The crew carrying 60-year-old blood-clot patient Glenn Buscombe stopped on the A38 near Carkeel roundabout in Cornwall to pick up the woman and man.
Confirming what happened, South Western Ambulance Service said it was because the pair were on a "dangerous" road and they were "doing the right thing." Mr Buscombe has since made an official complaint to the ambulance service.

Wednesday, June 11, 2014 9:56:54 AM driver in no win position, if he left them and they were killed on road, what would the complainer say then, would driver be under investigation for failure in duty of care, the driver done what he thought was best and safest thing to do in that situation, he was not on emergency, what has happened to common sense, compassion and understanding in this country.
Wednesday, June 11, 2014 10:18:57 AM Its called abandonment and EMT's and Paramedics have to stop, but this only apply's to them when they are not on a call. although we do what we can do. This is why we are who we are. We help people in the time of need and this guy in the ambulance was not going to die if they stopped to help these others from danger.
Wednesday, June 11, 2014 10:56:47 AM Seems the PT is just looking for a big payday....
Wednesday, June 11, 2014 11:02:15 AM PT not on an emergency run, no impact on standard or quality of care. Why entertain the complaint. No Mr xxxxxx our staff made the correct and safe decision, but thank you for your interest.
Wednesday, June 11, 2014 11:46:19 AM That's what taxis and police are for. They had a duty to take their patient to the hospital in the most expeditious manner, the pedestrians were not patoents, there was nothing wrong with them, therefor no duty to them. If we took single patient that needed a ride we would be the bus service. Absolately wrong!
Wednesday, June 11, 2014 12:19:55 PM Daniel Lundquist How is it abandonment if the hitchhikers were not their call and just happened to be there? They could have just called it in to LEO. Either I am misunderstanding what you typed or it is wrong, but that is not what abandonment is.
Wednesday, June 11, 2014 12:29:47 PM I say call it in the the appropriate entity and don't risk you and your pts well being for a stop.
Wednesday, June 11, 2014 1:34:14 PM i would not have stopped, clearly the hitchhikers assumed their own responsibility when they started their walk. if they were uninjured not the ems crews responsibility. they can not stop because someone has poor judgement as to where to hitchhike!!
Wednesday, June 11, 2014 7:27:36 PM Simple here ya go: (EMT since 97) First: A blood clot is very serious. Third how I would have handled it. "Dispatch 3062 ....Dispatch on 3062.......Dispatch could you have law dispatched to A 38 We have two individuals in a dangerous situation, any further questions can be answered after clear from current transport" Bam simple answer. Oh and as a patient I would hope for privacy in a bad moment of my life.
Wednesday, June 11, 2014 7:53:54 PM Doesn't matter what any of us in the USA say this was in England and they have totally different laws and guidelines oh wait we now have socialized medicine here so maybe not. Seriously though the pt was their concern not the hitchikers
Thursday, June 12, 2014 7:15:27 AM This is simply a "No Brainer" what the hell was the crew thinking??

Lifesaving bid backed by defib campaign mum
Posted: May 09, 2014|
A MOTHER who launched a bid to bring lifesaving equipment to an East Staffordshire village after nearly losing her son following his collapse at school with a heart problem has backed the Mail's Stay Fit, Stay Alive campaign.
Elisabeth Cunliffe began her 'Saving Hearts of Barton' campaign last year after she nearly lost her son William after he collapsed at Thomas Russell Junior School.
Her efforts have helped pay for two defibrillators – one at the school and another at Barton Library – with funds secured for one to be purchased and installed at John Taylor High School.
Now, Mrs Cunliffe has thrown her weight behind the Mail's effort to get gyms and fitness centres to install defibrillators.
She said: "I am delighted that the Mail have decided to spearhead this bid and I am very pleased to back the campaign.
"It is absolutely vital that more and more places make sure they have access to these devices whether they be schools, gyms or fitness centres. "Any place that people exercise or exert themselves has to have a defibrillator."
Her son William was born with several heart conditions and has had to undergo complex open heart procedures and was airlifted to hospital in March last year after collapsing.
Mrs Cunliffe added: "Not until something happens like with William do you understand how many people can suffer with heart problems and then just fall ill.
"Luckily he is now doing really well and I hope people back this campaign so know one has to go through what we did just one year ago."
The Mail launched its campaign after a 64-year-old man was left brain damaged and fighting for life after suffering a cardiac arrest while working out at a local gym.

How to Shave With an Electric Shaver
Three Methods:Before You ShaveWhile You ShaveAfter You Shave
Getting a quick, close shave, while not bleeding to death, has been one of the banes of mankind. The electric razor has seriously reduced blood loss, but at the expense of closeness; however, there are a few tricks that can help to achieve a closer shave.
Method 1 of 3: Before You Shave
1Make sure you have a smooth screen and a sharp blade. It is recommended that you replace these at least once a year, or you will fail to get a good shave, and may end up irritating your skin.Ad
2Wash your face. This will help soften your beard and thus make it easier to get a clean shave.
- Wash the places you are going to shave with warm water.
- Wet a washcloth with hot water. Hold it to your beard/stubble for a few minutes.
3Dry your face and dust your beard/stubble with talcum powder.
4Use an alcohol based pre-shave. It will remove oils from your skin and make your facial hair stand straight up. A powder version can be used if you find alcohol to be an irritant.
5Find the grain of your whiskers. Do this by rubbing the places where your facial hair grows. One direction will feel smooth. This direction is "with the grain." This other direction will give resistance when you rub it. This is "against the grain."Ad
Method 2 of 3: While You Shave
Method 3 of 3: After You Shave
1Apply lotion to your newly shaved face. This is especially important if you use alcohol based pre-shave, as the alcohol dries your face out.
2Clean your razor. In many models you can lift off the head of the razor. You should then brush the whiskers out of the cutter and cleaning brush.
3Lubricate the metal pieces of your cutter and screen. A small amount of lubricant should be sprayed on the screen while the razor is running. Do not wipe it off when you're done.Ad
We could really use your help!
|Not only does this video outline how to look good on a monday morning, it also gives tips on how to use an electric shaver.
- Shave daily. Electric razors are much more effective (and less painful) when cutting short stubby facial hair and have a tendency to yank or brush past long hairs.
- Once monthly (or at least every six weeks) give the shaver a complete and thorough cleansing. Run it under water and really get the heads and the blades clean. Brush out each blade separately. Use the manufacturer's cleaning solution or an electric shaver cleaner to remove accumulated grease or debris from the cutting blades.
- Read the manual that comes with the razor. It will contain the hints for getting the closest of shaves.
- After shaves, eau de toilets, and colognes are used for different purposes. Aftershave is for exactly that; It helps to give you a fresh scent after shaving. Its scent lingers for about three hours.
- The cutting blades and screens of a rotary shaver are in matched, honed sets. Do not mix them up.
- NOTE: Aftershave does not close your pores. That is a myth and here is a reference. Our pores do not have muscles, so they cannot close. If irritated they may swell a bit.
- If you have long hair on your head, keep the shaver away from stray hairs. The shaver will pull them out (very painful) and sometimes clog your razor.
- An electric razor should not cut you. If you bleed while shaving you are using too much pressure or the device is broken.
- On foil-type shavers, watch for holes in the foil - as they can cause a quick and painful injury. Check the foil before every shave. Although rotary types can wear through as well, it is far less common.
Things You'll Need
- An electric razor (foil or rotary top)
- An electric razor brush.
- An effective after shave (optional)
- Pre-electric shave (optional)
- A good face wash or face scrub (optional)

SHIDLER, OKLAHOMA — The card on the end table contains one of a precious few birthday wishes for Mary Roach. But she doesn't mind. July 24th, 2012 marks her 104th. After so many birthdays she didn't want anyone making a fuss. "It's just been a regular thing to me," she says. "I didn't think anything about it. It's just another birthday like I've always had from day one."
Born in 1908, Mary was the middle girl of five. Here father was always chasing a new job. Mary says she chased trouble the same restless way. She and another brave sister used to steal dad's car when he was at work. She recalls, "We would go and ride around in it, but he could always tell."
She left home at age 17, worked a few jobs of her own, then moved to California with her older sister. Mary was boxing-up bacon for the Swift Company when an old friend from Oklahoma paid a visit. Melvin took Mary to a dance, and, not long after, on another date for what turned out to be a surprise wedding. "Of course I just thought we were going to eat somewhere. Then he'd take me home," says Roach. "But he took me to a courthouse and got a license."
"Did you have anything to say about this?" asks a visitor. "I didn't know what he was doing," she responds.
Mary never did stop working. She and Melvin moved to Arizona for his health. They didn't raise a house full of Roaches, just one daughter. But that daughter had 5 little ones of her own. "We got along all right," says Mary of her long life. "We didn't get a divorce. We didn't fight and kill each other."
Melvin gone, the wind blew her to his family's ranch south of Shidler. She took care of her father-in-law until he passed away too. After that Mary worked at the local chamber. She stayed active and independent. Roach has trouble seeing many of her old pictures but a long delayed high school diploma is something she clearly recognizes.
Other members of the Shidler Class of 2012 will likely leave this place to pursue a future. The last of the Roaches is comfortable right here on the prairie, watching the world go by one day at a time, birthday or not.


text: Thread title says it all. I'm not looking for predictions, just what you personally want. I like MLS as is, I like it as a feeder league, where players (for the most part) do not have overinflated egos and seem by all accounts to be real people. And I like seeing our players "graduate" and prove themselves in the top leagues. MLS has a very homey feel to it right now and I think that if/when MLS becomes a top league, many of us will fondly look back upon this time period as the 'good old days'. What y'all think?

In 2013-14, Lobos guard Antiesha Brown earned all-conference accolades for a second straight season. Brown was an All-Mountain West honorable-mention award winner after being voted the MW Sixth Player of the Year the season before. Senior Sara Halasz also became the 13th Lobo in program history to finish her career with 1,000 points and 500 rebounds by season's end. UNM led the Mountain West in attendance for a 15th consecutive season with an average home crowd of 5,914 fans.
Sanchez is coming off a 2012-13 season that saw a six-win improvement from her first season, and the Lobos made program history as well. The 17-14 mark posted by New Mexico in Sanchez's second season included the program's first-ever four-game Mountain West road winning streak. The Cherry & Silver went on to defeat UNLV in the quarterfinals of the Mountain West Tournament, which marked the seventh straight season that New Mexico has won at least one game in the conference tournament. The season was also highlighted by a 65-61 victory over Texas Tech in The Pit. It was the first win against the Lady Red Raiders in four seasons.
A pair of Lobos went on to garner all-conference accolades in 2012-13. Brown became the first Lobo ever to win the MW Sixth Player of the Year award while Caroline Durbin was named to the All-Mountain West Second Team. Durbin also repeated as a Capital One Academic All-American, the first Lobo in team history to repeat that accomplishment.

The 2011-12 season was a season of firsts for Coach Sanchez and company. Despite finishing the regular season with a 9-19 record overall, the Lobos would never surrender. They turned the 2012 Mountain West Conference Tournament upside down advancing all the way to the championship game as the tournament's seventh seed. Their run through the conference's postseason tournament saw UNM become the first-ever seventh seed to beat a second seeded team. They also became the first-ever seventh seeded team to advance to the championship game of the conference tournament.
Along the way, Coach Sanchez's players picked up the first individual awards of the Yvonne Sanchez era. Caroline Durbin was named First Team All-Mountain West. She also became the first Capital One Academic All-American First Team member in program history. Porsche Torrance garnered Third Team All-Conference honors while being named Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year. The 2011-12 New Mexico Lobos also finished tenth in the country in attendance. That ranking was first in the Mountain West and among all non-BCS conference teams.
The New Mexico head coach also shares a special distinction with Wyoming's Joe Legerski in Mountain West history. The two are the only coaches to have been a part of every MW Tournament since the conference's initial season of 1999-2000.
Yvonne Sanchez was named the fifth head women's basketball coach in UNM history on April 22, 2011. The long-time assistant coach under previous head coach Don Flanagan was selected after a national candidate search. Sanchez had spent eleven seasons, including three as associate head coach, along side Coach Flanagan as he became the winningest coach in program history.
"After conducting a national search, we realized that the best candidate was right here at the University of New Mexico," said Paul Krebs, vice president of athletics. "Yvonne is passionate about Lobo basketball, she brings great energy, and is an outstanding recruiter. Her reputation within the coaching community is outstanding, and she is the right person to lead this program into the future."
Sanchez joined the Lobo staff in 2000 and immediately saw the program surge to new heights, winning 20 games in each of her nine seasons as an assistant coach. In her first year, 2000-01, the Lobos advanced to the championship game of the WNIT before advancing to seven consecutive NCAA Tournaments, winning two regular season Mountain West titles and five MW tournament championships. With Sanchez on the Lobo sidelines, she helped build UNM's reputation for defending The Pit, going 155-44 in eleven years, a .779 winning percentage. The Lobos won double-digit home games in ten of her elevens seasons as assistant and associate head coach, including a three-year stretch where the Lobos were a stellar 45-5.
Over eleven seasons as an assistant at New Mexico, Sanchez has also helped coach seven First Team All-MWC performers, ten Second-Team members, and nine Third-Team members. Also in that time, the Lobos had six players earn honorable mention honors, three earn All-Defense and two players earned Mountain West Newcomer of the Year honors.
In addition the Lobos earned 33 MWC Player of the Week awards, 82 Mountain West All-Academic selections, six Academic All-District selections, one Academic All-American, and one Kodak All-American. Five times the Lobos were recognized by the WBCA for ranking in the Top 25 nationally in team grade point average, and twice the team finished the season in the national top 25 polls as well during Sanchez's eleven years on Don Flanagan's staff.
"I am thrilled to be the next head coach at the University of New Mexico," said Sanchez. "Coach Flanagan has been such a mentor and positive influence in my life, and has prepared me for this opportunity. Being a native New Mexican, the passion and pride I have for this university and athletic department is tremendous. I am honored and humbled to take over a program of such success and tradition, and I am ready to lead it back to one of the best teams in the Mountain West Conference."
Coach Sanchez's coaching career spans 19 years. In the time before her eleven seasons in Albuquerque, her career includes stops as an assistant coach at San Diego State (1999-2000) and New Mexico State (1993-1999). Sanchez got her coaching start in 1989 at Academy of Our Lady of Peace, a high school in San Diego. She led the squad to CIF championships in 1990 and 1992, and was named the 1990 San Diego prep coach of the year, despite not having an indoor facility. During her tenure at OLP, the Pilots compiled a 76-39 (.661) record. The 45-year old Sanchez is a 1989 graduate of U.S. International University in San Diego, where she was a four-year letter winner. She received her bachelor's degree in Psychology. The Albuquerque native was a three-year starter under Don Flanagan at Eldorado High School from 1982-85, during which time the Eagles won a state-record 74 consecutive games and two 4A state titles. She was twice named to the all-state team and was also tabbed as the state 4A Player of the Year by the Albuquerque Journal.
What They Are Saying About Yvonne SanchezTara VanDerveer, head women's basketball coach, Stanford Cardinal"I'm really excited for Yvonne, this is a great opportunity for her. There is no one that will work harder and no one who loves the University of New Mexico more than her. I think that there is no one that is a better representative of the university. If you are a player, you want to play for her, as she is upbeat and full of energy. She has had great experience working under Don, and New Mexico has great tradition and she will continue it."
Kelly Graves, head women's basketball coach, University of Oregon, former UNM player (UNM '88)"I am so happy for Yvonne and UNM that she is the head coach. I have been an admirer and friend of Yvonne for a long time and am confident she'll do a tremendous job there. There is no question in my mind that Yvonne will continue the great tradition that is Lobo Basketball. She is a tireless worker with the kind of personality that will attract recruits and support into the Lobo program. As a UNM alum, I'm also proud that someone of Yvonne's character and vision will be leading that program. Yvonne exemplifies everything that is good about intercollegiate athletics"
Steve Alford, head men's basketball coach, UCLA Bruins "I'm very excited about Yvonne getting this opportunity. She has worked very hard for Lobo basketball and is very deserving of this opportunity and I think she will do a terrific job."
Charli Turner Thorne, head women's basketball coach, Arizona State "Yvonne Sanchez is more prepared to move the University of New Mexico Women's Basketball program forward than any Coach in the country. She is one of the hardest working, personable and talented coaches around, and she is a Lobo through and through."
Debbie Antonelli, ESPN/Westwood One women's basketball analyst"Yvonne Sanchez has worked every job in basketball except the job that required an 18-inch seat change. She has studied, recruited and marketed the UNM basketball program with passion and patience as she prepared for an opportunity to be Head Coach. Her work ethic and desire to provide the total student athlete experience will make `The Pit' a better place for fans and tougher for opponents. Yvonne's integrity and resourcefulness will allow New Mexico basketball to return to the dominant power in the Mountain West."
Sherri Coale, head women's basketball coach, Oklahoma Sooners"Yvonne Sanchez is one of the hardest working coaches in our game. She's also one of the most invested. I've had the privilege of working with her on various committees and boards through the WBCA, and her commitment to both our game and young people is extraordinary. Yvonne is known across the country as a tireless, energetic recruiter. Now that same energy and passion will undoubtedly be breathed into every aspect of the New Mexico program."

Review: Carl Donnelly, Nottingham Playhouse
Posted: February 11, 2013|
TO be fair to Carl Donnelly, at least he admitted his 'profile is nowhere near big enough for a theatre of this size' as the half full Playhouse received him on Sunday night.
But that didn't stop him putting on a show which left the small but willing crowd laughing along and feeling involved.
His set-up is a path well trodden by comedians - a bit of traditional stand up in the first half and then the real show in the second.
Without the interval though, it would have been somewhat hard to decipher the difference. The second half was supposed to be Donnelly reading out sections of his own 'autobiography', written for purely comic reasons, but such was his penchant for going off topic we only heard three excerpts from the book.
And those sections, although self-deprecating and well written, left the up-and-coming comic sounding somewhat Alan Partridge-esque.
As a stand up there's no doubt Donnelly can raise a laugh, but the length of some anecdotes deserved a far heavier hitting punchline than we ever got, and the lack of a defining feature to the 31-year-old's work meant that it was all fairly routine - as part of a bill in a comedy club, he wouldn't necessarily stick in the memory.
With a tighter narrative and a dose of discipline, there's little doubt that Donnelly has the potential to deliver a memorable show - he just hasn't quite perfected the art yet.

Merv Griffin Dead; Raced Champion Stevie Wonderboy
Entertainer Merv Griffin, a Hollywood producer and popular California Thoroughbred owner who campaigned 2005 male juvenile champion Stevie Wonderboy, died Aug. 12 from prostate cancer.
Griffin was hospitalized last month for a recurrence of the disease, which had been diagnosed and treated more than 10 years ago.
Griffin owned and operated Griffin Ranch in La Quinta, Calif., outside Palm Springs, where he kept more than 50 Thoroughbreds. He raced graded stakes winners Cobalt Blue, Cee's Irish and Skipaslew in addition to Stevie Wonderboy.
As a 2-year-old in 2005, the Doug O'Neill-trained Stevie Wonderboy clinched divisional honors with a closing score in the Bessemer Trust Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I). He also won that year's Del Mar Futurity (gr. II) and placed in the Hollywood Juvenile Championship Stakes (gr. II).
"There's a lot of excitement winning Emmy Awards and all that stuff," Griffin said at the time of the colt's Breeders' Cup victory. "Then there's the fighting with Donald Trump, which is fun, but this is extraordinary."
Stevie Wonderboy won an Eclipse Award as the nation's leading 2-year-old male horse and was also considered a top prospect for the 2006 Kentucky Derby (gr. I) but suffered an injury and didn't race there.
A millionaire son of Stephen Got Even , Stevie Wonderboy was retired from racing this summer and will stand at Brereton C. Jones' Airdrie Stud near Midway, Ky.
Griffin's Derby hopes were dashed again this year when he made a last-minute decision not to enter San Felipe Stakes (gr. II) winner Cobalt Blue in America's most famous race because of the horse's sub-par showing leading up to the event.
"I feel like the Susan Lucci of the Derby," Griffin, referring to the soap-opera actress who was passed over for so many Emmys, told the Associated Press last May.
"But that's not my total goal," he added. "I just love the animals and have for years."
Griffin had long been a fan of Thoroughbred racing. He attended the races at Bay Meadows as a youth and watched the great Seabiscuit run.
"I was blessed enough to know him well over the past few years," trainer O'Neill said. "He was a huge horse lover. He spread the word of what a great sport horse racing is to anyone who would listen."
Griffin, who hosted "The Merv Griffin Show," is best known for creating and producing "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel of Fortune."
After they became the hottest game shows in television, Griffin sold his rights to them to Columbia Pictures television for $250 million, retaining a profit share. He started spreading the sale money around in treasury bonds, stocks, and other investments, but quickly became bored.
"I said, `I'm not going to sit around and clip coupons for the rest of my life,'" he recalled in 1989. "That's when Barron Hilton said, `Merv, do you wanna buy the Beverly Hilton?' I couldn't believe it."
Griffin bought the hotel, home to the Golden Globe awards, for a little more than $100 million and spent $25 million refurbishing it. He sold it in 2003.
He also acquired Resorts International, which operated hotels and casinos from Atlantic City, N.J., to the Caribbean. For a time that touched off a feud with real estate tycoon Donald Trump, whose hotel-casino operations went head-to-head with Griffin's in Atlantic City.
Griffin was working on the first week of production of a new syndicated game show, "Merv Griffin's Crosswords," his son said, when he entered the hospital a month ago.
Griffin and Julann Elizabeth Wright were married in 1958 and their son, Tony, was born the following year. They divorced in 1973. He never remarried.
In addition to his son, Griffin is survived by a daughter-in-law, Tricia, and grandchildren Farah and Donovan.

August 3, 2015
An outside law enforcement agency and prosecutor will oversee the criminal investigation into a family violence call Sunday at Bryan Police Chief Ty Morrow's home, officials said Wednesday.
Authorities are not sure who will conduct the investigation or what prosecutor will review the case, according to Brazos County Attorney Rod Anderson. Anderson hopes to have a better idea on Monday.
Initially, the investigation was going to be conducted by a Bryan police officer and the Brazos County Sheriff's Department, with the findings presented to Anderson's office.
"With our ties to the police department, we feel it's the best way to handle the investigation for everyone involved," Anderson said. "We want to make sure the best job is done."
Morrow called authorities at 12:47 a.m. Sunday, saying that he and his wife had a physical argument and he handcuffed her, according to police reports.
Chief Morrow is on administrative leave pending the completion of the criminal investigation.
An internal investigation is being conducted by the Bryan Police Department and will be reviewed by the City Manager David Watkins.

Jimmy Carter
Barack Obama, You Remind Me of Herbert Hoover
January 05, 2010
Barack Obama has been compared to almost every American President of the last hundred years--favorably to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, John Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan; and unfavorably to Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush.
Anti-Statism in America
November 11, 2009
Anyone who has followed closely the debate over national health insurance has probably noticed some peculiar inconsistencies in Americans' attitudes toward the legislation. A Pew Poll released on October 8 found "steady support" for specific elements of the health care plan, including the public alternative to private insurance, the employer mandate, and the requirement that everyone have insurance. Nonetheless, popular support for the plan itself was declining, with 34 percent "generally [in] favor" and 47 percent "generally opposed." What accounts for this disparity?
Budapest, The Berlin Wall, and Iran: What Obama Does Not Grasp
November 08, 2009
It is just about 30 years since the wall around Iran went up. And it is a few days away from fully 20 years since the Berlin Wall came down. The Berliner Mauer had been up for more than a quarter century, and its surface facing east, grim gray, was a metaphor for life in the German Democratic Republic. On its western face graffiti evoked the freer spirit of the half-city whose heart had nonetheless been broken by the Soviet goose step that divided it.

November 06, 2009
Matthew Continetti's editorial in last week's issue of the Weekly Standard--"The Inevitability Myth: Health care reform is not a fait accompli"--makes the case that, despite all evidence, health care reform may not be enacted after all. (Continetti does concede that "the chances of some sort of health bill passing, at some point, are by no means negligible." So he's telling us there's a chance.) This sort of argument is actually the signature style of the Standard. A magazine like National Review specializes in making the case for conservative ideas.

The saga of Rush Limbaugh and his failed attempt to acquire a piece of the St. Louis Rams may be the quintessential postmodern American racial incident. When word first leaked of Limbaugh's potential ownership, a couple of sportswriters, joined by a handful of cable news talking heads, repeated what turned out to be totally unsubstantiated quotes by Limbaugh praising slavery and James Earl Ray.
Not Since Never Have the Palestinians Had a More Sympathetic American President
October 15, 2009
No, not Dwight Eisenhower (and his secretary of state, John Foster Dulles), who thought of his Arabs as the Egyptians. Frankly, in 1956, nobody thought of Palestinians, including especially the Palestinians. And, no, not even Jimmy Carter, who, while now especially entranced with the Palestinians, including Hamas, was beginning his macabre infatuation with Hafez Assad. Then there was George Herbert Walker Bush and his sidekick James Baker, who didn't much like the Jews but wanted especially to please the Saudis. The U.S.

Rich Dem, Poor Dem
September 30, 2009
The health care debate has exposed the ideological tension in Barack Obama's political coalition between moderates and liberals. But it has also offered hints of how another, less obvious divide built into the Democratic majority could wreak havoc on the administration during the years to come. In 2008, the Democratic Party blossomed into a successful alliance of the upscale and the downscale--wealthy and needy marching hand in hand, sharing animosity to George W. Bush and the war in Iraq. The extent to which Democrats are relying on the far extremes of the income spectrum is striking.

David Brooks and Anti-Anti-Racism
September 18, 2009
It's been a big week for anti-anti-racism. Virtually the entire conservative world has waxed indignant about Jimmy Carter's suggestion that racism is responsible for the unusual virulence of anti-Obama sentiment. Listening to it all, you'd think the so-called "race card" was a much bigger problem in American society than racism itself, and that does seem to be what a lot of conservatives think. But it's getting to the point where the argument seems to be that if anti-Obama protesters have any non-racial motives for their behavior, then mentioning race as any sort of factor (hard to avoid g
