A correlated subquery is a subquery that contains a reference to a table that also appears in the outer query. For example:
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE column1 = ANY (SELECT column1 FROM t2 WHERE t2.column2 = t1.column2);
Notice that the subquery contains a reference to a column of
t1, even though the subquery's
FROM clause does not mention a table
t1. So, MySQL looks outside the subquery, and
t1 in the outer query.
Suppose that table
t1 contains a row where
column1 = 5 and
column2 =
6; meanwhile, table
t2 contains a
row where
column1 = 5 and
column2 =
7. The simple expression
... WHERE column1 =
ANY (SELECT column1 FROM t2) would be
TRUE, but in this example, the
WHERE clause within the subquery is
FALSE (because
(5,6) is
not equal to
(5,7)), so the expression as a
whole is
Scoping rule: MySQL evaluates from inside to outside. For example:
SELECT column1 FROM t1 AS x WHERE x.column1 = (SELECT column1 FROM t2 AS x WHERE x.column1 = (SELECT column1 FROM t3 WHERE x.column2 = t3.column1));
In this statement,
x.column2 must be a column
in table
t2 because
SELECT column1
FROM t2 AS x ... renames
t2. It is
not a column in table
t1 because
SELECT column1 FROM t1 ... is an outer query
that is farther out.
For subqueries in
HAVING or
BY clauses, MySQL also looks for column names in the
outer select list.
For certain cases, a correlated subquery is optimized. For example:
valIN (SELECT
Otherwise, they are inefficient and likely to be slow. Rewriting the query as a join might improve performance.
Aggregate functions in correlated subqueries may contain outer references, provided the function contains nothing but outer references, and provided the function is not contained in another function or expression.

|[Delete] [Edit]
Another example of when a subquery is optimized is when using a subquery based on a multipart primary key to 'join' the two tables.
For example
DELETE FROM t1 WHERE ROW(c1,c2) IN (
SELECT c1, c2 FROM t2
You could easily select the above 'join' using a 'where t1.c1=t2.c1 and t1.c2=t2.c2', but a delete statement won't know what to do (and fails) over the joined tables.

Note that according to bug #9090 ( http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=9090 ) it appears that ALL subqueries will be executed as correlated subqueries until version 5.2 or 6.0, when the optimizer may gain the ability to correctly execute uncorrelated subqueries.
|Posted by Stephen Dewey on August 18 2006 2:28am
|[Delete] [Edit]
Ryan Findley is good to point out the bug report, but as far as I can tell it is not true that MySQL rewrites ALL subqueries as correlated subqueries. Rather, the problem that the bug report identifies is that the MySQL optimizer does that to subqueries that test an IN statement. This is listed as one of the current limitations of MySQL's subquery support here (third item down, "Subquery optimization for IN..."):
So if you are writing a subquery that does not use IN, I think that you will be able to keep it uncorrelated. However, I have not tested this.
|Posted by Tobias F on April 12 2007 12:03pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
If you have a slow 'correlated' subquery with IN, you can optimize it with a join to get around the bug described by Ryan and Stephen. After the optimization the execution time is no longer O(M×N).
the queries are made up for this example.
original query (execution time 4 sec):
SELECT * FROM employee WHERE room = 15 OR
room IN (
SELECT room FROM assistant WHERE building = 11
optimized query (execution time 0,004 sec):
SELECT e1.* FROM employee e1
SELECT room FROM assistant WHERE building = 11
) ea ON e1.room = ea.room
UNION SELECT * FROM employee WHERE room = 15
if you have a simple query like
SELECT * FROM employee WHERE room IN (
SELECT room FROM assistant WHERE building = 11
just leave the UNION operator

Fellow believers,
I have news of an amazing discovery. Analysis of the Turin shroud has confirmed a second face (http://www.shroudstory.com/enhanced.htm). However, the true results of the analysis have been suppressed for fear that the truth may come out. Having been guided by His Noodly Appendage, I have performed extensive image analysis of the shroud. I can now reveal the true secret of the Turin Shroud...
I have yet to fully understand the significance of this image. Is this the son of Flying Spaghetti Monster (hallowed be His name)? Was he sent to Earth to preach/spread/serve the Noodly Ways? Was he persecuted and put to death by boiling (with a dash of oil and salt)? Why was he buried with this other individual? Were they brothers? The Noodly Ways are indeed mysterious. Deeper study may provide some insight into His Divine Spaghettiness.

Carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) is defined as biopsy-proven metastasis of an epithelial malignancy in the absence of an identifiable primary site after complete history and physical examination, basic laboratory studies, chest X-ray and additional directed studies indicated by positive findings during the initial work-up. It is characterized by its slow local development and its high metastatic potential.1,2 Patients with CUP represent 4–10% of all new cancer patients.3,4 The presenting sites of metastasis identified pathologically, radiographically or by physical examination were found most frequently in the lymph nodes (37.1%), followed by the liver, bone, lung, pleura/pleural space, brain, peritoneum, adrenal and skin. Of the lymph nodes of metastasis, the supraclavicular cervical area is the leading site (31.3%), followed by the mediastinum, axilla, retroperitonium, and inguina.5 The incidence of metastatic cervical CUP (MCCUP) varies between 2% and 9% of all head and neck cancers.6-8 The level of cervical metastatic involvement may give some clue as to the likely primary site. A submandibular mass (level I) would most commonly be related to a primary in the oral cavity or skin. Level II nodes, including the jugulodigastric node, may point to a primary in the oral cavity, oropharynx, or supraglottic larynx. Tumours of the nasopharynx generally spread to level II or the posterior triangle, as well as retropharyngeal nodes. Middle and lower jugular nodes (levels III and IV) are more likely related to a laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer. Metastatic disease restricted to the supraclavicular region is often due to an infraclavicular primary site.9 The prognosis is different according to the involved lymph node level and possible primary site. Modern cancer management relies heavily on recognition of the primary tumor; thus the absence of a primary site poses major diagnostic and therapeutic problems. The patient benefits from identification of the initial tumor site because postoperative irradiation ports may be reduced and because surveillance for recurrence may be improved.10 In order to identify the likely primary site of MCCUP and compare the prognoses of known and unknown primary groups, we report the results according to the different levels of metastatic cervical lymph nodes.

According to Price City Mayor Joe Piccolo construction of the playground crushed the parks water main in several places and made watering the park an impossibility. The mayor further reported that the park should be green within the next couple of weeks and that plans to finish the park have been greatly bolstered by $100,000 from the Permanent Community Impact Board. The money will come as the matching portion of an existing $100,000 in donation money. According to the mayor this money will allow the city to finish the park in a beautiful manner for the youth of the community.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
I grew up in what was a small town in the middle of Salt Lake County and one of things we were proudest of by living there is that we were an independent entity from most of the rest of the area.
In those days Murray didn't run on into Midvale and Salt Lake. When you drove down State Street, there were businesses, but you could tell where Murray ended and started. On other roads it was even more obvious, because the town was separated from others by agricultural land in most places.
But what made us unique to me was that we had few ties to the county or the city, other than the fact that many people commuted to work in those places. We had our own mayor and city council, we had our own organizations and we had our own school district that was sandwiched in between the two giants in the state, Granite and Jordan.
But more importantly there was a spirit that existed in Murray that was only matched by a couple of other communities in the county. Up until the mid-1950's Murray was a smelting and agricultural town. The Murray High Schools logo until that same time had been the Smelterites. While I was not in school at that time, I can just imagine the chants that came from the opposing teams student bodys at games during those days before the moniker was changed to the Spartans.
We had our own fire department, own police department, our own power company and water company.
And if you went to school there, you knew about 90 percent of the people in town.
While Murray still has a great deal of that independence, something changed when the town grew from 15,000 to over 40,000 in just a short few years. Something happened when the physical boundaries of the town were covered by homes and strip malls. Something happened when the town became a true suburb of the larger metropolitan area, rather than being in of itself somewhat self contained. But the shift wasn't so much the actual changes in the politics and the landscape as it was in the mind set.
I remember I used to go out with a number of girls that attended East High while I was in school. One of them once told me she thought hardly anything existed beyond 21st south and she even wondered if the streets were paved out there in the hinterlands of Salt Lake County.
Of course we were just about as uptown as they were, but the idea that we were not as smart or even "hicks" rubbed many in my small town the wrong way.
Today Murray is right in the middle of the Wasatch Front frey, with big traffic problems, new subdivsions and large business complexes. They are even being considered one of two sites for the new major league soccer stadium that it appears will be built in the next couple of years.
Progress, I guess. But whether that is good or bad, that is how my old home town has changed.
When I moved to Carbon County 14 years ago, one of the things I liked best about it was that it was so much like Murray was in my youth. Rural areas mixed with new houses. A small school district existed here that still had character. The area had police officers that you came to know by their first names because they not only lived in the community but they had real ties to it besides just doing the job they do.
On Saturday night, at the E-Center I saw that unique spirit come out during the championship girls basketball game. While Morgan, itself a very nice independent community had more fans at the game, the Carbon people stood out, not only by the blue they wore, but by the way they acted. For the most part they were respectful and courteous. After the game they followed the rules and didn't rush onto the floor, but held back until the team was moved off to one of the ends of the arena.
Most of all there was a spirit there that is hard to describe. It was a genuine love for not only the girls and the game, but for the fact that the community could just be in such a position and do it with dignity. Good people stand out in the big city, no matter where they are from.
No wonder I now call this my home town.

AKWESASNE - A youth lacrosse team made up of seventh and eighth graders from several communities spent last weekend qualifying for the Dicks Tournament of Champions.
Competing in the Fall Beach Blast Tournament in Connecticut, the Akwesasne Attack (Team 1) went undefeated through four games to take top honors in their division to earn a bid to the national tournament slated for December 29-31 in Wesley Chapel, Florida.
Coached by Jim Barnes, BigBoy Garrow and Craig Cree along with assistants Nolan Thomas and Oakley Thomas, the team includes players from Akwesasne, Cattaragus, Kahnawake, Massena, Cornwall and Brasher Falls. The Attack opened with a 9-4 win over the Boston Royals at the Fall Beach Blast then earned a bid to the semi-final round by outscoring New York City Topside 7-5. In the semis, the Attack blanked the New Jersey Brotherhood 6-0 before going on to outlast New Fairfield, Connecticut 6-5 in the championship game.
Huntery Pyke anchored a balanced offensive effort for the Attack over the weekend with six goals and four assists. Isaiah Skidders (3 assists) and Kainen Thompson (2 assists) netted five goals apiece while Isaiah Lyon (4 assists) and Dillon Mullin (1 assist) each tallied four. Konnor Sunday added two goals and one helper. Raianerahstha Diome and Nick Trembley chipped in a goal each while Rowisonkies Barnes logged a solo assist.
Other team members include Gage King, Ethan Bush, Jay Chubb, Memphis Mitchell, Stone Jacobs, Mick Miller, Cobie Cree, Brett Logan, Abram Garrow, Cash Feeley and Keldren King.
The team will be hosting fundraising activities throughout the communities it represents to help cover the cost of the trip to the national tournament in Florida.

You must be reading this and looking at the picture wondering "why in the world is this article titled '[lastfm]Justin Bieber[/lastfm]'". Well, click the button that says more and I will tell you why this pic is linked to little Bieber…
I was just sitting around… well I'm pretty much always sitting around unless I need to get up to grab the remote but even then I just leave it on the channel that's currently on so I don't have to get up. Anyways we came up with the idea that Bieber will look semi-similar to this guy when he turns 40… I mean the money is rollin' in… girls are trouble… This could be Little Bieber.

Video: Nature's Fall Spectacular !
The change of seasons in the Northeastern United States is a beautiful study in contrasts, with fall being the most stunning. Autumn sees many life forms preparing for winter, and
trees are perhaps the most visibly dramatic in their preparations for the upcoming freeze. Most notable among their changes are of course leaves, which are the source of life for trees. During the warm months, plants are busy with photosynthesis, the process which converts sunlight into chemical energy.Chlorophyll is a pigment in plants that is critical to photosynthesis and also gives leaves their green color. In the fall, that process slows down, and other pigments previously covered by chlorophyll are revealed in a most spectacular way. Lauren Makeyenko is Experience Manager at Tifft Nature Preserve in Buffalo.
" When the fall comes and the chlorophyll is starting to break down, and the tree is starting to sever it's leaves, those oranges and yellows come out and another pigment is produced in fall that produces those reds and purples, so we get to see a wide array of beautiful colors."
The process is triggered by several factors, less sunlight and colder temperatures chief among them. Shedding those leaves helps the tree prepare for the frigid months ahead.Without leaves, the tree needs to use less energy to survive. Makeyenko explains." If sunlight is the process by which they get their nutrients, they need to store it in the winter months, so dormancy is the way to go for the trees so they can survive till the next year. "
Seldom is anything wasted in nature and such is true in this instance as well. Even in death, the leaves provide life to many organisms. " It just decomposes, it becomes soil, it becomes habitat," Says Makeyenko " It becomes food for decomposers, it becomes food for fungus, it becomes food for all sorts of little insects that live under logs, and things like that, milipedes, centipedes, so it's really important."
But for now, forget about why it's all happening, and just sit back and enjoy the rich palette of colors that nature has graced us with. Here in New York, we've got front row seats for one of the planet's most incredible displays. " People travel to the Southtowns or the Southern Tier to see the colors, the Adirondacks are spectacular if you go in the fall ! I think we know, but I have friends and family that have moved away, and when they don't have it around them they really realize how much they may have taken it for granted."

PAWTUCKET – Xander Bogaerts took groundballs at McCoy Stadium on Thursday afternoon, a pregame ritual that the promising shortstop has down to a science.
This particular day was different. Not only was Bogaerts taking grounders at third base, but – as an added bonus – he was the under the tutelage of someone who knows a thing or two about manning the hot corner.
Bogaerts would tap out so that Will Middlebrooks could tend to his work. The scene had a student-teacher vibe to it, with the latter passing along tips to the former that focused on the importance of reading angles off the bat, setting his feet and when it's appropriate to deploy the glove.
"It's a lot more effective if a teammate is helping you, especially when that teammate is of Will's stature," noted Pawtucket manager Gary DiSarcina. "I was glad Will came over and took groundballs with him."
Middlebrooks echoed DiSarcina's sentiments before getting into the specifics he covered with Bogaerts.
"He's a shortstop and he's trying to learn," said Middlebrooks. "As a shortstop, you go straight at balls. At third base for most part, you're diving at an angle most of the times.
"He caught on quick. He's a real good athlete," Middlebrooks continued.
Mind you Bogaerts isn't experiencing his first third-base rodeo – the 20-year-old saw time there during the World Baseball Classic as part of his duties with Team Netherlands. Upon Bogaerts' arrival at Triple A, the Red Sox enacted a defensive plan that would officially take effect once the youngster got his feet wet – one that includes work at other infield positions.
Not long ago, the odds of exposing Bogaerts to third base coinciding with the addition of Middlebrooks to the PawSox' roster seemed remote. Yet as DiSarcina pointed out, the fact that Middlebrooks is now in the fold will not relegate the Bogaerts-to-third-base experiment to the back burner.
The idea of taking Bogaerts out of his perceived comfort zone should not be interpreted as Boston management fueling the belief that the No. 1 prospect in the farm system profiles better as a third baseman at the next level. All roads point to shortstop for Bogaerts – it's just that the dynamic has changed now that he's just one phone call from the majors.
(As a side note, Bogaerts would have to be added to the 40-man roster before such a scenario came to fruition.)
"We talked to Xander for about 20 minutes (Wednesday) about it," said DiSarcina. "It's just about putting another tool in the toolbox. If you have the ability to play third base or second base and you're in Triple A and something happens upstairs … you don't want to be pigeonholed as a one-position player. You just limit yourself.
"If Xander does get called up, he might have to go over to third or second just by basic need," the skipper continued. "You want him to experience those positions down here before he goes up there."
DiSarcina mentioned that it could be a while before Bogaerts sees game action at third base. Once that day comes, and if Middlbrooks is still with Pawtucket, the skipper already has a schedule in mind.
"We may move Xander over to third just to give Will a blow if Will's been playing five or six days in a row, or maybe DH Will and move Xander over there," said DiSarcina. "He's going to be a big-league shortstop, but just to increase his value of him, it puts an extra tool in his tool box."
Middlebrooks produced a smile – something that was missing during Wednesday, his first day back in the minors – when asked if there was any correlation between the olive branch that Kevin Youkilis extended a year ago to him assisting Bogaerts.
"To be in that situation, with me coming up and (Youkilis) kind of on his way out, for him to want to him me out and be a good guy meant a lot," said Middlebrooks about understanding the importance of giving back – even if that means helping out someone who's inquiring about the same position you play.

OTHER Tanzania ADVENTURES:
Click tabs for more information
Not every family has an abundance of time to take out of their hectic lives for an extended vacation; that's why Thomson created this itinerary – the Short Family Safari – so you can give your family a one-of-a-kind travel experience that still fits into your busy schedule.
There's a reason Tanzania was the country that first motivated us at Thomson to make a living out of world travel: there honestly is no more majestic destination on the planet. Inspiring the common image of the quintessential African landscape, this country's natural beauty is unrivaled and almost unfathomable – you truly won't believe such a place really exists!
Explore Tanzania's vast plains, dotted with unique baobab trees and brimming with spectacular concentrations of protected wildlife. You'll become quickly infatuated with the largely uncorrupted ecosystem and rugged terrain of Tarangire National Park, the fertile Ngorongoro Crater Highlands and Conservation Area, and the golden Serengeti.
Thomson's dedicated and expertly trained local guides will lead you through a land of grassy plains, winding, life-giving rivers, and dense woodlands, where you'll have the opportunity to see lions, elephants, leopards, giraffes, wildebeest, gazelles, spotted hyenas, and countless other fascinating creatures in their precious natural habitat. After your visit to the bountiful paradise that is Tanzania, you'll understand the love the Maasai people have for their magnificent homeland.

Upon arrival at the airport, you will be met and transferred to your lodge, where your Short Family Safari begins.
This is Tanzania's fourth-largest national park. Spend two full days with your family in Tarangire, exploring its rugged landscapes by safari vehicle. This park, often overlooked, astonishes many with its massive herds of elephant and distinctive winding riverine landscapes and swampy floodplains. It is also known for its large numbers of bizarre baobab trees, famous for their enormous trunks and root-like branches.
As you travel to the Ngorongoro Highlands en route to the Crater, you and your kids will head up a steep, winding road near the edge of the Great Rift Valley. Make sure to keep your cameras ready on the drive – you will be rewarded with expansive vistas of Lake Manyara and the exquisite surrounding plains. At the top of this slope lie the lush Ngorongoro Highlands, where the region's rich volcanic soil makes for some of the most fertile land in Tanzania.
After breakfast, take a short drive from your Nyumba down to the Crater floor for a day filled with exceptional wildlife viewing. The Crater's 102 square miles are situated within the 3,200 square miles that make up the Conservation Area. Many Maasai people live within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, although they are not allowed to live on the Crater floor itself, and you may see them in their vibrant red robes as they tend sheep, goats, and cattle during the day. While they cannot live in the Ngorongoro Crater, the Maasai do have exclusive rights to bring their herds to the Crater floor during the day, where the animals drink the mineral-rich waters. If you look closely along the inside of the crater's rim, you may see the winding, serpentine trails designated for the Maasai to lead their herds in and out.
Protected since 1921, the Serengeti became Tanzania's first National Park thirty years later. It contains almost as much land as the US state of Connecticut, and features grassland plains and savanna as well as riverine forest and woodlands. You will see wooded knolls around the official entrance called Naabi Hill Gate, which then drops into the park's signature wide-open expansive plains. Like no other, this stretch embodies the meaning of the word "Serengeti," which derives from the Maasai word Siringet, and has been translated as "the land that flows on forever." Serengeti National Park covers 6,000 square miles of pristine land, and offers not only sprawling landscapes but the largest migration of mammals on earth, including 1.5 million wildebeest. Your family will stay in one of Thomson's signature Nyumba camps.
This park is just one example of how Tanzania has been a magnificent inspiration for the world in terms of wildlife and environmental conservation. There is time for one last wildlife viewing drive before returning to Arusha on a short flight. Rest, repack, and shower before your departing flight.
Welcome to Mount Meru Game Lodge, where you will find a charming atmosphere together with every comfort: an ideal spot to enjoy the impressive flora and fauna of East Africa. The lodge is comprised of 15 picturesque rooms, each individually decorated. All rooms feature a verandah and private garden. Facilities include a lounge, boutique, internet facilities, and—most notably—a wildlife sanctuary that provides haven and rehabilitation for orphaned or injured animals.
Swahili for "home," the Nyumbas are eco-friendly, mobile, tented camps, well-located for the best wildlife viewing in northern Tanzania. These seasonal camps allow you direct access to the wildlife while keeping your family comfortable during your safari. Private, en suite bathroom facilities include self-contained, pump-flush toilets that do not require fixed plumbing. You will have all you need with plenty of washing water at any time, safari-style hot showers, a private dressing area, water basins, soft bath towels and hand-made soaps. These eco-friendly camps feature superior service, delicious gourmet and kid-friendly cuisine, fine bedding, and the luxury of peaceful and sustainable co-existence with the surrounding landscape and wildlife.

What used to bug me, was a green map. I had all green Keels running around, and a small green object was easily mistakable as one of them. And a green Keel was easily mistakable as a wall.
So I switched to green upper body, pink head, and orange legs. All bright ofcourse.
I've been using this for about a year now I think, and I rarely ever mistake enemies with backgrounds. But I've never seen or heard of anyone else doing this.
Am I a genius who invented a new tweak for everyone's config, or is there a reason why nobody does what I did?

Recently i was given a figurine by a relative. Neither of us has ever seen anything like it. On one side it is painting of a baby with a cork stopper. On the other side it is a swirl of brown. The bottom of the figurine has Made in Germay on it. If anyone has any idea of what this is or where I can find out more information please let me know.

BUFFALO - Many Western New Yorkers are sad to hear a family run bakery that's been around for about forty years is closing its doors.
You can still find a spot to park at a famous bakery in Buffalo's Kaisertown. Go inside, you'll find people lined up for fresh donuts and cookies. It's a reason regulars are surprised to hear Pumpernick N' Pastry will close.
"Serious," customer DJ Jimerson said in disbelief. "Why are they closing and how long have they been there."
After 40 years, the family run business decided it's time to close. The owners have been struggling to keep up with taxes in a sluggish economy, while fewer customers have been coming in.
Over the last three years, sales at Pumpernick N' Pastry's have decreased 35 percent. To cut back, the bakery started to close every Sunday and Monday during the week.
"The small businesses are having a hard time trying to keep up with economy," customer Nick Ellis said. "It's difficult for them to compete with all the big stores."
Part of Ellis's family tradition, is to buy cakes at Kaisertown for birthdays and celebrations. While its hard to say goodbye, Nick and other regulars will take a number - until the last customer is served.
"You lose a place like this and you lose character," Richard Eliah said. "Franchises don't make a city unique or pretty, they make them boring."
The bakery will close for good July 20th. The property and equipment will be auctioned off July 29th.

Déjà Vu Watch
The Sweep of Time or what time leaves behind is the perfect
description for Dèjà Vu. The hour hand, the smaller of the two is a white
opaque at the edge of the hour and gradually moves to a more
transparent color in the wake of the hour. The same is true of the minute
hand but becomes more interesting as it passes over the hour hand
leaving a clear path of the Dèjà Vu or particles below.
Jamais vu (from French, meaning "never seen") is a term in psychology
which is used to describe any familiar situation which is not
recognized by the observer. Presque vu is similar to, but distinct from,
the phenomenon called tip of the tongue, a situation when someone
cannot recall a familiar word or name, but with effort one eventually
recalls the elusive memory. In contrast, this has a feeling that the
present situation has occurred before, but the details are elusive
because the situation never happened before…The Deja Vu Watch repeats
every hour, but, somehow…has it happened before?
"This watch contemplates time. Time is
present, here and now. Yet at the same time a memory as the hours and
minutes leave a 'gradient' in its wake representing both past and
present with the passage of time. Memories overlap creating a deja vu.
Cool Time."
- Denis Guidone
Dèjà Vu measures 33mm in diameter (1.30″) and 8.00mm high (0.32″)
making it a perfect unisex size! The IP plated black stainless steel
case is complimented by an 18mm rubber band with black buckle.
About the designer:
Denis Guidone, as student of architecture, design and visual
communication studied urban planning and architecture in Milan, Italy
and Oporto, Portugal.
His project process was born under the concept of subtraction, an
ideology that follows the unification of opposites through a constant
approach on the edge of architecture and visual communication, and at
the same time mediated by an expressive intensity that addresses work on
the basis of subtraction.
Fascinated by the passing of time, Guidone carries out this intense
didactic work for several universities and design schools, in Italy and
abroad. His many awards and honorable mentions include: Ida
international design award in Los Angeles, IDOT Best Italian Design
Product, and The Bruno Munari international award.

|Another All-America Honor for Kimbrough
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Tuesday, 22 January 2013 15:20
College Sporting News became the latest organization to bestow all-America honors on Appalachian State University linebacker Jeremy Kimbrough (Decatur, Ga./Cedar Grove), naming him to its Fabulous Fifty FCS all-America team on Monday.
Kimbrough racked up 143 tackles in 2012, en route to being named the Southern Conference's co-Defensive Player of the Year and finishing as runner-up in voting for the Buck Buchanan Award (NCAA Division I FCS Defensive Player of the Year). His 143 tackles were good for the third-highest total in the nation and seventh in Appalachian State single-season history. He also ranked third in the Southern Conference and among the top 100 nationally with 12.5 tackles for loss (1.04 per game) and 11th in the SoCon with 4.5 sacks.
College Sporting News is the fourth organization to name Kimbrough an all-American in 2012. He also earned first-team accolades from The Sports Network and the Walter Camp Football Foundation and was a second-team selection by the Associated Press.
Kimbrough was selected to participate in last Saturday's Raycom College Football All-Star Classic in Montgomery, Ala. but was forced to sit out of the game due to a quadriceps injury sustained during practices leading up to the contest.
In addition to Kimbrough's honor, wide receiver Sean Price (Reston, Va./South Lakes) was one of two runners-up for College Sporting News' Freshman of the Year award. In just 10 games, Price caught 81 passes for 1,196 yards and eight touchdowns in 2012, shattering the FCS records for receptions (71, set by Cal State Northridge's Drew Amerson in 1999) and receiving yards (1,073, set by Marshall's Randy Moss in 1996). Price's 7.1 receptions and 119.6 yards per game both ranked sixth nationally last season, regardless of class.

Sources close to Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech have suggested to Orangebloods.com over the last week that if Nebraska leaves, the Big 12 can't be saved.
A Fox television report out of Ohio said Nebraska now has an invitation from the Big Ten.
One of the reasons given for Nebraska's importance to the league is because the relationship between Missouri and the rest of the Big 12 has soured beyond repair.
And to complicate matters for Missouri, the Tigers appear to be falling down the list of priorities for the Big Ten.
An athletic director with knowledge of the Big Ten said, "Missouri is getting cold shoulder from Big Ten."
Joe Schad of ESPN reported Wednesday that the Big Ten list of interest for expansion goes like this: 1) Notre Dame 2) Nebraska 3) Rutgers and/or Maryland.
A high-level executive at a Big 12 institution said there have been informal conversations about who to add to the Big 12 if schools start to leave. Those schools have included BYU and Air Force.
But that same executive as well as others in the Big 12 South have told Orangebloods.com the conference will not survive if Nebraska leaves - no matter who else stays or goes.
If Nebraska were to stay in the Big 12 and Missouri and Colorado were to leave, for example, the sense is the Big 12 could attempt to add schools like BYU and Air Force to the Big 12 North and move ahead.
And this bombshell.
The executive said that could be bad news for college athletics because Congress has already taken some cursory looks at the fact athletic departments enjoy a tax-exempt status as part of their universities.
The executive said if it appears the rich are getting richer in college athletics, there will be a hard look at whether to take away the tax exempt status of athletic departments.
"And it won't just be Orin Hatch (a member of the U.S. Senate Finance Committee from Utah and longtime BCS critic) looking into this," the source said.
Stay tuned.
BREAKING NEWS(Chip Brown of Orangebloods.com): The 6 schools mentioned(Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Colorado) are going to the Pac-10. Texas AD DeLoss Dodds met with coaches today to tell them that they did all they could to save the Big 12. The Big 12 is DEAD.

A special presentation, "When Stars Came Down to Earth" will be presented by Von Del Chamberlain this Friday, August 2 at 7 p.m. at the CEU Prehistsoric Museum Classroom. The lecture is free to the public.
Chamberlain is a scholar-in-residence from Pope Southwest Desert Institute, physical science department, Utah Valley State College. He is a former director of the Hansen planetarium.
Before European influence many of the principals that guided Native American people were, as they believed, to be portrayed in the planets and stars. This highly illustrated presentation will describe these people, their knowledge of the world about them and concepts that governed their lives.
The program is co-sponsored by the Castle Country Regional Information Center and the Castle Valley Archeological Society.
The program has received funding from the Utah Humanities Council.

I think I came out of the womb in pumps, a rock t-shirt and a pair of beautifully faded jeans. I probably had a full head of hair that was lightly tousled with ruby red lips.... this is the way I imagine it anyway.

Submission Researchers Create Ultrastretchable Wires Using Liquid Metal->
hypnosec writes: Researchers, by using liquid metal, have created wires that can stretch up to eight times their original length while retaining its conduction properties. Boffins over at North Carolina State University made the stretchable wires by filling in a tube made out of extremely elastic polymer with gallium and indium liquid metal alloy.

Last year he was useless, but it is hard to tell or not if somebody can be productive with only 40 games played. I think 5th is actually a better spot for him. He smashes LHP, can't hit RHP. It makes sense for him to be on the roster. Betemit hits RHP. Valencia hits LHP. They both play corner infield positions.
Well one of them plays a corner position.
Just curious, what did he do in the minors last year?

Flanked by a handful of Jewish settlement enclaves, the Shuhada Street was partially closed off in 1994 after local settler Baruch Goldstein opened fire on Muslim worshippers at the city's Al-Ibrahimi mosque, killing 29 of them.

(B) the name, the enrollment number (if readily available), and the name and address of the organization responsible for maintaining updated and accurate membership data, of any parent or grandparent of the child from whom the child claims eligibility under this subpart, if the child is not a member of the tribe or band of Indians (as so defined);
(2) a statement of whether the tribe or band of Indians (as so defined), with respect to which the child, or parent or grandparent of the child, claims membership, is federally recognized;
(4) a signature of the parent or legal guardian of the child that verifies the accuracy of the information supplied; and

The sampling conducted under this subparagraph shall take into account the size of and the geographic location of each local educational agency.
(B) Exception

Pure Metal - The 2012 Meinl Cymbal Guide
fresh from the printer's shop comes our new cymbal guide for next year. it shows you all product news (46 this time), and of course the whole cymbals, drumgear and merchandise portfolio too.
besides that, we've been focusing on the fact that next year we will celebrate our 60th meinl cymbals anniversary. we've made a timeline spanning from 1952 until 2012 showing all our series ever made, special events and other company highlights. very interesting content in my opinion.
and last but not least: features on many of our international top artists, a meinl drum festival report from mexico city and tons of more information are included.
pure metal 2012 will be available online on meinlcymbals.com as of january 02, and will be handed out for the first time at the namm show in anaheim, california.

Why Lin Mattered
Brian DiMennaThis is not about the decision to let Jeremy Lin go, a decision that now looks almost sage at this point, albeit one I admittedly thought a disaster at the time, but rather just about that experience.
Whether you never bought into the hype of the heady days of Linsanity, or you have a closet filled with Lin-inspired paraphernalia you now deeply regret, there's no arguing it was something we've almost never seen before.
If you consider where the Knicks stood at the start of it, 8-15, losers of 11 of their last 13 games, in a season in which they entered openly talking about championships, it was as disappointing a time for the Knicks in a decade-long era of chronic Knicks disappointment. The Carmelo/Amar'e pairing, one that had seemed so enticing only months earlier, now seemed like just another ill-conceived project among a litany of bad Knicks ideas.
It was here we go again all over again.
And then Lin happened.
It wasn't just how well he played — which we should remind ourselves, was VERY, VERY well — it was the swagger the kid had. Out of nowhere, he was dropping game-winning threes as though of course he would. This random, skinny, and yes, Asian point guard had transformed another dreary season into something so much different, and better.
If you care about sports, enough to hang around blogs like this one, it's to watch the gifted athlete, for sure, but it's also the chance to see something completely unexpected. Sometimes it's Mark Sanchez running into his lineman's shorts, but sometimes it's a complete unknown taking you for a most unexpected and refreshing ride.
So I get the backlash now to Lin's time in New York. The insane hype, the outrage at letting him go and the simple fact that it's very possible he just isn't that good, can make a cynic out of us all. But it doesn't mean we still can't appreciate what happened here last season. It was pure basketball joy, a two-week carnival when you could barely stand the wait til you could turn on the TV again to see if this thing could possibly continue, as you were sure it couldn't, and yet for a while it did.
Look, I like Ray Felton, WE ALL like Ray Felton, who's played so well this season he's made the Lin decision all but moot. And after years of chasing wild ideas and fool-hardy strategies, the Knicks very well may have been wise to hang their hats on the sureness of Felton's stability, instead of chasing a dream in Jeremy Lin.
And I think they were right, but it still makes me nervous. Linsanity may have been little more than a dream, but I hope we didn't stop chasing dreams, just as they were about to come true.
