We have an application which gets some data from a PostgreSQL 9.0.3 database through the psqlodbc 09.00.0200 driver in the following way:
1) SQLExecDirect with
2) SQLExecDirect with
DECLARE foo SCROLL CURSOR FOR
SELECT table.alotofcolumns
FROM table
ORDER BY name2, id LIMIT 10000
3) SQLPrepare with
SELECT table.alotofcolumns, l01.languagedescription
FROM fetchcur('foo', ?, ?) table (column definitions)
LEFT OUTER JOIN languagetable l01 ON (l01.lang = 'EN'
AND l01.type = 'some type'
AND l01.grp = 'some group'
AND l01.key = table.somecolumn)
[~20 more LEFT OUTER JOINS in the same style, but for an other column]
4) SQLExecute with param1 set to SQL_FETCH_RELATIVE and param2 set to 1
5) SQLExecute with param1 set to SQL_FETCH_RELATIVE and param2 set to -1
6) SQLExecute with param1 set to SQL_FETCH_RELATIVE and param2 set to 0
7) deallocate all, close cursor, end transaction
The function fetchcur executes
FETCH RELATIVE $3 IN $1 INTO rec where rec is a record and returns that record. Step 4-6 are executed again and again on user request and there are a lot more querys executed in this transaction in the meantime. It can also take quite some time before another user request is made. Usually the querys takes that long:
4) ~ 130 ms
5) ~ 115 ms
6) ~ 110 ms
This is normally too slow for a fast user experience. So i tried the same statements from psql command line with \timing on. For step 3-6 i used that statements:
PREPARE p_foo (INTEGER, INTEGER) AS
SELECT table.alotofcolumns, l01.languagedescription
FROM fetchcur('foo', $1, $2) table (column definitions)
LEFT OUTER JOIN languagetable l01 ON (l01.lang = 'EN'
AND l01.type = 'some type'
AND l01.grp = 'some group'
AND l01.key = table.somecolumn)
[~20 more LEFT OUTER JOINS in the same style, but for an other column]
EXPLAIN ANALYZE EXECUTE p_foo (6, x);
For the first EXECUTE it took 89 ms, but then it went down to ~7 ms. Even if i wait several minutes between the executes it stays at under 10 ms per query. So where could the additional 100 ms be gone? The application and database are on the same system, so network delay shouldn't be an issue. Each LEFT OUTER JOIN only returns one row and only one column of that result is added to the result set. So the result is one row with ~200 columns mostly of type VARCHAR and INTEGER. But that shouldn't be so much data to take around 100 ms to transfer on the same machine. So any hints would be helpful.
The machine has 2 GB of RAM and parameters are set to:
shared_buffers = 512MB
effective_cache_size = 256MB
work_mem = 16MB
maintenance_work_mem = 256MB
temp_buffers = 8MB
wal_buffers= 1MB
EDIT: I just found out how to create a mylog from psqlodbc, but i can't find timing values in there.
EDIT2: Also could add a timestamp to every line. This really shows that it takes >100ms until a respond is received by the psqlodbc driver. So i tried again with
psql and added the option
-h 127.0.0.1 to make sure it also goes over TCP/IP. The result with
psql is <10ms. How is this possible?

EDIT3: I realized i didn't used the same query from the mylog in the
psql test before. It seems
psqlodbc doesn't use a
PREPARE for SQLPrepare and SQLExecute. It adds the param value and send the query. As araqnid suggested i set the
log_duration param to 0 and compared the results from postgresql log with that from the app and psql. The result are as follows:
psql/app pglog
query executed from app: 110 ms 70 ms
psql with PREPARE/EXECUTE: 10 ms 5 ms
psql with full SELECT: 85 ms 70 ms
So how to interpret that values? It seems the most time is spend sending the full query to the database (10000 chars) and generating a execution plan. If that is true changing the calls to SQLPrepare and SQLExecute to explicit PREPARE/EXECUTE statements executed over SQLExecDirect could solve the problem. Any objections?

I generally don't covet anyone else's exact career path. You have to take the bad with the good, and I wind up thinking that one or more aspects of that other person's experience wouldn't be ideal for me. Like having to be Donald Trump's daughter, for instance. But I've finally found my fantasy job and 61-year-old Gene Weingarten has it. I've always enjoyed "Below the Beltway," Weingarten's weekly humor column for the Washington Post (the column is syndicated nationally.) He created, and for years also edited, The Style Invitational, the Post's weekly humor contest. A couple of years ago, he started doing the Barney & Clyde comic strip with his son. But I somehow didn't know he also wrote serious feature stories until 2009, when the Post published "Fatal Distraction," Weingarten's compelling piece about parents who accidentally leave their children in hot cars. (If you don't have any sympathy for those parents after reading that story, you've got a heart of stone.) That story won a Pulitzer Prize the next year. "Fatal Distraction" was actually Weingarten's second Pulitzer-winning piece. He'd gotten his first Pulitzer for a 2007 article, "Pearls Before Breakfast," about Joshua Bell, one of the world's best violinists, who, as an experiment, played for the morning rush-hour crowds in a Washington Metro station. This weekend, the Post published another serious Weingarten article. This one was about convicted family-killer Jeffrey MacDonald. I was so fascinated by it that, when I got to the end, I immediately reread it. There's a convoluted and tragic story that led up to the article. Jeffrey MacDonald was an army doctor at Fort Bragg, who, in February 1970, reported that a group of Charles Manson-type hippies broke into his house and slaughtered his pregnant wife, Colette; five-year-old daughter, Kimberley; and two-year-old daughter, Kristen.
Both of Colette's arms were broken, and she was stabbed 37 times with an ice pick and knife. Kimberley had been clubbed in the head and stabbed eight or 10 times, while Kristen had been stabbed close to 50 times. MacDonald himself had some cuts and bruises, a mild concussion, and what Weingarten calls "small, neat incision between his seventh and eighth ribs, just deep enough to partially collapse a lung." The army dismissed charges against MacDonald in 1970, but he was indicted by a North Carolina grand jury in 1975; brought to trial in 1979; and convicted of the three deaths after the jury deliberated for a mere six hours. The case was already notorious, but became even more so in 1983 when Joe McGinness published Fatal Vision, a book about the case that became a best-seller and was turned into a television miniseries the next year. MacDonald gave McGinness special access because he thought the book was going to exonerate him; when the book instead depicted him as a sociopath, MacDonald sued McGinness. Then, in 1990, New Yorker writer Janet Malcolm accused McGinness of betraying MacDonald — and basically condemned journalistic ethics in general — in "The Journalist and the Murderer," which started, "Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible." That helped convince some people that MacDonald was unfairly convicted. MacDonald has always declared his innocence. He's been appealing his three consecutive life sentences since 1979. Others have taken up his cause: In 1997, Fatal Justice: Reinvestigating the MacDonald Murders, a book by Jerry Allen Potter and Fred Bost, criticized the prosecution for poor crime-scene management, mishandled evidence, and confessions from a woman who claimed to be one of the murdering hippies. And this September, filmmaker Errol Morris published A Wilderness of Error: The Trials of Jeffrey MacDonald. I haven't read the book but I was impressed by the positive reviews because if anyone has impeccable credentials for proving innocence, it is Morris, the director of The Thin Blue Line. That award-winning 1988 documentary secured the release of Randall Dale Adams, who was originally sentenced to death (later commuted to life in prison) for a murder he didn't commit. Morris's book has fueled the latest round of MacDonald's appeals, as well as Weingarten's article. Weingarten is blunt about his intentions:
"I have come to believe that Jeffrey MacDonald murdered his family and injured himself as part of a coverup; I've concluded this both because I have researched the case extensively, and because, as a writer, I see exactly how Errol Morris prejudiced his account while shrewdly appearing not to do so. I admire his skill but not his book. I think the media have been careless and gullible in reviewing it, perhaps partially because the story of a grievous, enduring miscarriage of justice presents a more compelling narrative than the alternative."
Weingarten picks apart the supposed exculpatory evidence, including the "hippie" confession. He points out that Morris's book spends time on certain hair evidence but not much at all on a broken hair with blood on it, found in Colette's hand, that couldn't be positively identified in the 1970s. When DNA technology improved, MacDonald's defense demanded it be tested … only to discover that it was, in fact, MacDonald's hair. Unlike Morris, Weingarten interviews a surviving juror. He interviews Morris himself. Weingarten has the prosecutor walk through a convincing scenario of motive and murder, based on blood evidence. He has an effective response to that old "no criminal would be THAT dumb/crazy" argument for innocence:
"Here's what I think: I think it is not all that nonsensical to imagine that in the immediate, terrifying aftermath of having made the most unwise decision in his life, MacDonald might have made another."
He also poses a riddle that I won't give away here, though I'd be very interested to read your reactions to it in the comments. I'd also be interested in comments from people who have read the Morris book AND the Weingarten article. As for me, I've got a lot of other reading to do so I'm probably going to leave Morris's book on my mental bookcase right next to any tomes professing O.J. Simpson's innocence. Getting back to my original point, I would love to have Gene Weingarten's career so I could spend the majority of the time writing funny things for pay while miraculously maintaining my credibility and avoiding industry pigeonholing. Then, every so often, I could write a serious story that blows everyone away. (I'd have to find time to design jewelry too in order to make this scenario 100% ideal, but still.) It's hard to find people who will let you be both funny and serious — ask any actor. Not everyone gets to explore all his or her interests in a professional environment. HOW DOES WEINGARTEN MANAGE THIS? Do you think there are magic powers in his mustache? That must be it, right? Shit! It's so hard to be a woman.
A story about singer/songwriter Skylar Grey by Christopher John Farley in yesterday's Wall Street Journal also had me thinking about careers. I don't have any musical talent so I don't envision myself in Grey's shoes but her experiences apply to a multitude of scenarios. Since starting my jewelry business, I've become aware that people have a lot of fantasies about career paths, especially related to creative and entrepreneurial endeavors. (And I will deal with all of them in my work-in-progress Bitchtastic Guide to Business™ book. Note to agent Lisa: I'm making progress, I swear!) I've explained on this blog, for instance, that fame isn't the same as fortune. Nor will you succeed just because you're passionate about something. Another common myth is that if X, Y or Z happens you will "have it made." Sure, a single big professional triumph — the result of years of unrewarded, draining effort — might catapult you into stardom. But stratospheric success isn't automatic, guaranteed or easy. It's not uncommon for a big moment to amount to not very much at all. I bet everyone can think of a few one-hit musical wonders and/or actors who never got a decent role again after winning an Oscar. Yet, people always assume a single fashion-magazine product shot leads to huge sales (which it hasn't for anyone I know personally, including myself) or that a small speaking role in a movie is going to mean a starring role next time. I thought things like that myself until I learned first-hand that success comes from a cumulative process, not an overnight one. The Wall Street Journal story on Grey story begins, "Skylar Grey aims to make the most of her latest chance to make a first impression." Farley writes that Grey (née Holly Brook Hafermann) started out as a folkie, doing independent albums with her mother, until 2006, when she put out a pop-ballad album under the name Holly Brook. After it sold only 4,000 copies, she wound up doing odd jobs — including editing pornographic movies — to get by. She remade herself as Skylar Grey and wound up writing the hook for "Love the Way You Lie," 2010's monster hit by Eminem and Rihanna that has sold 5.7 million digital copies, according to the story. Grey told Farley that after that, "… my whole life changed." But not to the extent one might imagine: Last year, she released a pop ballad called "Invisible," that sold only 46,000 copies (one to me). That's better than 2006, but doesn't compare to the Eminem/Rihanna collaboration. Fortunately, Grey was savvy enough to keep that Eminem connection and — even more importantly, maybe — rebrand herself again. As a result, Eminem is now executive producing her next album, Don't Look Down, which is scheduled to come out in the spring. A video for her song, "C'mon Let Me Ride" came out today. The song is raunchier than Grey's previous work. The video makes fun of popular culture in a very Eminem-like way, and the rapper himself is on the song, singing a Queen lyric and doing his PeeWee Herman laugh. A big change of pace from her moody ballads of the past. The Wall Street Journal article says:
"Ms. Grey said she isn't concerned about whether or not people will think that her musical makeover is authentic. 'I think only time will show people that,' she said. 'I think when people hear the whole album and live with it for awhile, they'll realize there's a real person in all of that.'"
I hope it works out for her; she's definitely trying all the angles and I respect that. You see? It's the opposite of what the common assumption is. Don't believe anyone who tells you that when you do a job you love, it's not even work. The people who've said that to me (a) have had no relevant experience or (b) have totally relevant experience, but are now so successful it's smooth sailing and the struggles seem romantic in hindsight. The truth is that for a long time, love makes you work harder and you feel every bit of it. Love might make you sacrifice your name, years of your life, day job, home, health, credit score and relationships to get where you want to be. If you're a musician, love might make you literally change your tune. Love is no magic mustache, and you can quote me on that.

I teach _The Journalist and the Murderer_ with sections of _Fatal Vision_ every spring in the ethics section of my journalism class. It's fascinating how McGinnis paints MacDonald as a vain playboy and how Malcolm, in her book, takes the same characteristic and interprets them differently. And the final paragraph of Malcolm's book gives me goosebumps every time I read it . . . Going to print out Weingarten's story right now!
Oh, I do so love me a WendyB thinky-post! Superb! Range and flexibility and mustache-power FTW. Off to read Weingarten, those articles sound fantastic, and to check out Skylar Grey, thanks for the recommendations!
"If you got a sweet tooth, C'mon taste my watermelons" I'm gonna use that on my hubby tonight 😉
I came looking for jewelry porn and instead spent the afternoon reading about the fascinating MacDonald case. I'm off to the library for Fatal Vision and once again The Widow of The South, I think I have 50 pages left in that one. Thank you for an interesting change of pace this time of year.
I read the Fatal Distraction story and literally wept. Thank you for sharing as I am completely new to Gene Weingarten, surprisingly.
I always learn something new from you, I never knew about either.
One of my close friends from junior high forward was featured in Weingarten's story "Fatal Distraction," and even knowing what had happened and having seen much of the aftermath, I still couldn't stop crying while reading the article. I don't think any of us can understand the punishment of living forever with the guilt, even if it was simply a tragic accident. I know my excruciatingly shy friend has chosen to tell her story in public as a cautionary tale and continues to participate in opportunities to educate the public. I hate to say it, but she lost so many so-called friends that didn't have her back and didn't even try to understand. I hope some of them read Weingarten's articles and were able to find some smidgen of empathy they never could before.
Weingarten's work is so awesome. "Fatal Distraction" really choked me up at the time. There but for the grace of God, go I is what came to mind re-reading it just now. As a young busy parent juggling too many balls I once locked my 3-year-old in the car with the engine running, to keep her warm and safe while I ran into a convenience store to quickly buy something, realizing a split second too late, after the automatic locks made that thunk noise that I now didn't have my keys to get back in the car. I had to phone Dad, at work, and we waited, my daughter and I, 45 minutes for him to arrive, she snug in her snow suit in the warm car, me standing outside aping funny faces and gestures and pointing down the road while saying "Daddy is coming!" over and over again. Your mind plays tricks on you when you're stressed and rushed. My heart goes out to those parents.
The new piece is stunning. I haven't read Morris's book. I don't think I would want to after reading Weingarten's article.
The riddle was hard to get. I still didn't get it after reading the answer. It took a few minutes. It's really hard to conceive of a mind that would get it right without needing to think about it.
You're already both funny and serious — you don't need a magic moustache. As for what it's like doing what you love, I figure it's a lot like parenting, making sacrifices for a greater good.
I bet your mother was traumatized! Stories like these are the ones that endure for generations.

College Hockey:Lake Superior State Bests Clarkson
ROCHESTER, NY — The long trip from Michigan's Upper Peninsula was worth the journey for Lake Superior State on Friday night as the Lakers handed the Clarkson University Hockey team a 5-1 loss before 2,322 fans at Cheel Arena.
Lake Superior relied upon strong specialty teams play and some solid goaltending from senior Jeff Jakaitis to hand the 14th-ranked Golden Knights their first loss of the season and first setback in Potsdam since November 26, snapping a 10-game unbeaten streak (9-0-1) at home. The Lakers scored all five of their goals on the power play (5-8) and Jakaitis made 33 saves as LSSU improved to its record to 2-1. Clarkson and Lake Superior will close out their weekend series with a 7:00 p.m. game on Saturday.
Sophomore Josh Sim led the Lakers' offense with two goals, while junior Derek A. Smith set up three scores.
Clarkson came out flying to start the non-league contest, throwing several quality shots on the Lakers? goal, but it was the visitors who struck first with a pair of power-play goals to take the first period lead. Sim connected on Lake Superior's second shot on goal when he tipped in a shot from the point by Smith at 8:33. The Lakers made it 2-0 with another man-advantage marker when senior Jeff Rainville converted assists from Smith and senior Barnabas Birkeland at 16:55.
Junior Steve Zalewski pulled the Knights to within one with a power-play goal at 7:06 of the second stanza. Zalewski tallied his fourth goal of the season, one-timing a pass from sophomore Shea Guthrie after the right wing made a strong rush with the puck into the Lake Superior zone.
The Lakers sealed the win with three more power-play tallies in the final frame. Senior Trent Campell gave Lake Superior an insurance goal at 6:34, followed by Sim's second goal of the game at 11:25. Freshman Nathan Perkovich closed out the scoring at 15:06.
The Lakers out shot Clarkson 41-34 and held the Knights to one power-play goal on seven chances. Junior David Leggio finished with a season-high 36 saves for Clarkson.

There are surprisingly few studies that talk about the latter. Nevertheless, it's important to cite key industry use cases where virtual technology has actually enabled companies to approach their businesses differently.
Here are some examples:
#1 Credit Union Service Organizations (CUSOs)
Operating as not-for-profit entities, credit unions long ago discovered that forking out the money to buy expensive servers and software for their core processing was something that many of them couldn't afford. So—they banded together to form CUSOS where they all pitched in to fund a central data center and to run a single server with a multi-tenant architecture that featured segregated virtual systems for each credit union's transaction processing. The value was immediate in operational cost savings and in delivery of value to credit union members. Without virtualization, it would not have been possible.
#2 Multi-tenant back office accounting for the oil and gas industry
Supporting over 4,200 gas and oil industry customers, Transzap is a software as a service (SaaS) company that provides ePayment and data exchange services, allowing its customers to conduct business with each other in a way that is more efficient and economical than if they were to use their own internal systems. To support its large customer base, Transzap required both processing speed and 24/7 availability. Initially, the company ran its applications and databases on multiple Intel servers running Linux—but it made the move to virtualize all of these systems on an IBM System z mainframe."We eased our manpower needs by migrating to a virtual environment," said a Transzap spokesperson. "With the combination of manpower savings and the reduction in database licenses, we achieved reductions in TCO (total cost of ownership)."
#3 Distance learning
The University of Arkansas facilitated new distance learning and resource sharing approaches in its IT curriculum to ensure that students got "real world" experience in developing enterprise systems and databases. To do this, the University used virtual systems on an IBM zEnterprise mainframe for student lab exercises that could be worked on from anywhere. The University then extended the reach and the monetization of its program to other universities throughout the country that also wanted a distance learning program with real life enterprise system exercises for students.
Coursework was developed in a partnership with major enterprises such as Walmart, Dillards Department Stores, Tyson Foods and Federal Express. "The University has incorporated enterprise systems in its curriculum for the past ten years, in part because of the need for IT graduates with enterprise caliber skills that was present in our surrounding business community," said David Douglas, Professor of Information Systems in the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas, and also the Director of Enterprise Systems.What do all of these virtualization efforts have in common?
They capitalized on innovation and monetization opportunities created by virtualizations—and didn't end their efforts with the initial data center gains.

that is simply spectacular! How many mornings you must have froze waiting for those conditions! I'm curios though, why did you not include the mountain?
Truly a favorite. Spectacular in every sense.
Yellow star worth, both the photo and your album ;)
Great shot of an over photographed subject Tom! Did you crop Mt Rainier or do you have a shot with it in it? I suspect the great composition has alot to do with how it's framed. Yellow star Tom
Wow, this is excellent! I've spent many mornings at Kerry Park trying to get a decent sunrise and I am yet to come home with something worthy. This makes me jealous!
Whoa, that's a great shot, Tom, incredible night shot.
Thanks all! All I can say is that I got lucky! This was taken early in the morning in January, which for some reason is when all my good Space Needle photos were taken. (Probably because sunrise in January is around 7. Any other time of the year I'm asleep at sunrise.)
What a sunrise! Marvelous! P.s.: It's the first time when I see a real fog, and not a stinky smoke on the foto of the big city (sorry for bad half-russian-english):)
The view from Kerry Park is awesome. Just like that picture. It's stunning.
Très belles couleurs, bravo. Cordialement, J-C.
Incredible! Everything in the picture is fantastic!
Very beautiful colors, Like

Before traveling to India, I took my daughter shopping for appropriately modest clothing. Or so I thought. Even though Kayla packed longer shorts – much longer than anything she would willingly wear in the US – it turned out that anything above the knee is a no-no. As are tops that display shoulders. We remedied the shoulder situation with cleverly placed silk scarfs, purchased in Jaipur. And Kayla found that harem pants – the fashion article of choice among Bohemian travelers – were an attractive and comfortable solution for the knee issue.
Harem pants are easily found at most markets in India and Nepal (or so it seemed everywhere we went.) Prices can start as low as 300 Indian Rupees (approximately $6.00) but even the best quality, made-to-order silk harem pants sell for about $20.00 – a bargain.
Entering Satguru's Textile World, we were treated to a demonstration of hand block printing, one of Jaipur's best loved arts.
Inside the shop, there was an overwhelming selection of clothes, linens, scarves, and textiles for making anything we desired.
It wasn't easy selecting a cloth amongst so many choices, but within a few minutes we had the fabric and the fitting. The harem pants were finished and delivered to our hotel that night. And by the next day, Kayla was striking a pose in her favorite pants.

Click here to see what a Universe Day group in San Francisco did at a previous annual Universe Day. Just like "Earth Day" events, we encourage you to invent your own local awareness celebrations, gatherings, creative partnerships with organizations, educational events, and community events. We dare you to inspire outside-the-box on ways to promote awareness for effectively reducing carbon emissions by using the new universe evolutionary perspective to create a more sustainable planet.
Please send us information about the local Universe Day events that you are creating at email@example.com and we will let others know about them.
For peoples, generally, their story of the Universe and the human role within the Universe is their primary source of intelligibility and value. Only through this story of how the Universe came to be in the beginning, and how it came to be as it is, does a person come to appreciate the meaning of life or to derive the psychic energy needed to deal effectively with those crisis moments that occur in the life of the individual and in the life of the society. Such a story communicates the most sacred of mysteries. It not only interprets the past, it also guides and inspires our shaping of the future.
— Thomas Berry
Resolution of an Universe Citizen for Universe Day
Today I rejoice in this corporeal body on the boat body, on this body of water, on this planet body, revolving evolving in this Universe without body
A New Year is beginning!
Let my resolutions connect me to you, to me, to the planet, to the Universe.
Let me transform the judgments that polarize me into discernment's for creative problem solving.
Let me see the uniqueness of my part in the whole as I see yours and let me celebrate that uniqueness as the evolving being it is.
Let me remember that we are all part of the whole. As I honor the part I do so for the whole
Let me sing, let me dance, let me feel, think and create worthy words with the juice that is my humanness.
Let me be the Creative force that mirrors all creativity.

People flock to roller coaster rides for the same reason they flock to horror movies. They know they'll be screaming, they know they'll be scared out of their wits, but they also know deep down inside that they are in a controlled and safe environment. And while that is usually the case, up to six people were injured near Los Angeles Monday when a roller coaster derailed.
The incident happened at Six Flags Magic Mountain, Valencia, CA, around 5:30pm. Passengers on the Ninja were shocked when they heard what one witness called a "big boom". Many people thought an explosion had occurred, but in reality, the Ninja, described by Six Flags as the "Black Belt of Roller Coasters", crashed into some pine tree branches that had fallen across the track and caused the cars to derail.
Fortunately the cars, seen hanging precariously from the underside of the roller coaster, remained attached to the track at an angle. Reports vary on the number of people injured, but by all accounts four to six people received minor injuries. The 25 passengers on the stranded roller coaster were stuck swinging back and forth approximately 30 feet in the air for almost three hours before rescue workers were able to safely evacuate everyone.
The authorities were praised for the excellent job they did in calming down the passengers and de-escalating the initial panic. They used extendable ladders and heavy equipment movers to reach the passengers and extract them from the cars one person at a time. They worked quickly, but gently, being careful not to upset the balance of the dangling cars.
Six Flags issued a statement, "The safety of our guests and employees is our number one priority and as a precaution, the ride will remain closed until a thorough inspection of the area is complete." In this case it was not a missing screw or faulty track that caused the derailment, but the fallen tree branch could be considered an act of nature. You can read more details about the Ninja, which reaches speeds of up to 55mph, on the ultimate roller coaster website.

Contracts for Gary Andersen and 2 coordinators approved
Madison – The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents on Friday approved the contracts of Wisconsin football coach Gary Andersen, as well as offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig and defensive coordinator Dave Aranda.
The contracts are not signed but Andersen is to receive $10 million over five years.
He is to be paid $1.8 million, including a base salary of $400,000, in 2013. He is to receive annual raises of $100,000.
Ludwig and Aranda have agreed to two-year deals worth $480,000 annually. Their annual base salaries are $300,000.
The total compensation figures for Ludwig and Aranda represent an increase of $215,000 apiece over their predecessors.
Offensive coordinator Matt Canada and defensive coordinator Chris Ash were paid $265,000 apiece last season.
Andersen's compensation package is less than that of former UW head coach Bret Bielema, who accepted the Arkansas job two days after UW's victory over Nebraska in the Big Ten title game.
Bielema was to be paid $2.6 million last season. His total compensation package for his first season with the Razorbacks is reportedly $3.2 million.
However, the base salaries and total compensation packages approved for the coordinators is noteworthy because Bielema said during his introductory news conference at Arkansas he wasn't able to offer top pay to assistants during his seven seasons at UW.
"When I began to have more and more success at Wisconsin, I stayed but a lot of my coaches left," he said at the time. "I just wasn't able to compensate them in the way other coaches were. I know I'm hiring the right guys, because everybody keeps taking them from me."
Bielema lost six assistants after the 2011 season. He noted three of the six increased their annual pay by about $175,000. He added that after the victory over Nebraska in the Big Ten title game, three assistants informed him they had job offers that included significant raises.
Bielema told the assistants he couldn't match those offers.
"Wisconsin isn't wired to do that at this point," he said at the time. "With what I wanted to accomplish, I needed to have that ability to do that. I've found that here at Arkansas."
UW athletic director Barry Alvarez, who coached the Rose Bowl after Bielema's departure, was out of town Friday and not available. However, he argued last month that UW paid competitive salaries for assistants.
"I think our pay scale for assistant coaches is more competitive and fair," he said during a news conference after announcing he would coach the bowl game. "As an athletic director, I have to make decisions. I know what people are making. And every time someone has a hint they may take another job, it's not prudent to jump and throw a pile of money at them.
"We all see what the salaries are. I know what the salaries are. I get charts with them. We're more than competitive. And not only that, we have a great place. It's a wonderful university. It's a great place to live. We have new facilities coming. People want to work here. The quality of life here is topnotch.
"So we can get good assistants here. We have had good assistants here. We'll continue to have good assistants here, and we'll have stability here."
The compensation packages of UW assistants at the start of the 2012 season:
Chris Ash (defensive coordinator/defensive backs) $265,000
Matt Canada (offensive coordinator/quarterbacks) $265,000
Mike Markuson (offensive line) $255,000
Charlie Partridge (associate head coach/co-defensive coordinator/defensive line) $240,000
Thomas Hammock (assistant head coach/running backs/recruiting coordinator) $230,000
Andy Buh (linebackers) $215,000
Zach Azzanni (receivers) $200,000
Eddie Faulkner (tight ends) $200,000
Ben Strickland (defensive backs) $103,600
Total: $1,973,600.

Share of long-term unemployed declined in 1998
February 23, 1999
Of the 6.2 million people who were unemployed in the average month of 1998, about 42 percent had been unemployed for less than 5 weeks, slightly more than 31 percent were out of work for 5 to 14 weeks, and 26 percent were "long-term" unemployed—workers out for 15 weeks or more. The median duration of unemployment fell from 8.0 weeks to 6.7 weeks.
[Chart data—TXT]
From 1997 to 1998, the share of worker's experiencing long-term unemployment dropped by 4.2 percentage points, about the same amount as the 4.5-point increase in the share of worker's in short-term unemployment spells. Within the long-term unemployment category, 2-1/2 percentage points—about 60 percent—of the decline was among workers jobless for 15 to 26 weeks. The remainder was among those unemployed for 27 weeks or more.
These data on the duration of unemployment are produced by the Current Population Survey. More information can be found in table 30 of the January 1999 edition of Employment and Earnings. The data in this article are 1997 and 1998 annual averages of the duration of spells of unemployment still in progress at the time of the survey.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Economics Daily, Share of long-term unemployed declined in 1998 on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/1999/feb/wk4/art02.htm (visited June 28, 2016).

Reviews for Slow Cooker Berry Cobbler
"I made this last night for guests and they loved it. I was a little curious how it would turn out thinking the crust seemed too little but it was fine. It served 8 people exactly with ice cream on top. Easy and yummy dessert. I will absolutely make again. I may try and double it and put it in a bigger crock pot. I want leftovers!"
"I baked this a few weeks ago it came out very good Did it today and around the edge of the dough is green Is it alright to eat? Help me someone please."
"I have made this way to many times to count. My husband and I just love it. I use the mixed frozen berry mix from Schwan's and put vanilla ice cream or cool whip on top. Mmmm so good."
"I read the reviews and was hopeful this would be a good recipe to make in a crock pot. I was disappointed and feel I am generously rating this 3 stars, as it was only Average at best. The berries were good but what I did not like was the cobbler biscuit crust. I followed the directions and did not overcook the crust. It was moist but had a somewhat heavy texture. Not light at all like a cobbler biscuit should be."
"I cut the recipe in 1/2 and put it in our 3 quart slow cooker. I added nectarines and sprinkled brown sugar and cinnamon on top. I served it with Haagen Dazs vanilla bean ice cream.Thanks for sharing this delicious cobbler recipe, Karen."

When Presonus first announced the launch of a totally new DAW - there were raised eyebrows from many. Some thought it foolhardy, but if you take the view - as Presonus do - that some of the other DAWs are so long in the tooth, that they are bogged down in their own legacy code and demanding user base, that they just cant deliver really new features and workflows without further bloating, you can see there might be some merit to a fresh approach.
At NAMM we saw the introduction of Version 1.1, but the coders have been surpassing themselves and now bring us version 1.5.
What this means is more development of the one window with browser and mucho drag and drop kind of stuff.
I got up early to catch Rodney Orpheus at the stand and get the lowdown on the new features.
Rex import is decades old technology, manufacturers should not be boasting about this. Esp since Emagic had it sussed from the beginning with exs24 circa 2000. I ll try it out though.
28-Mar-10 10:58 PM
Yeah...shame they haven't really updated the EXS24 in almost ten years! Studio One looks amazing and I (for one) will be looking at buying in the near future.

A flu shot or flu vaccination is the best way to prevent flu in children. Mist form of the flu vaccine is also available. The influenza shot is usually prepared with the most common strains of the viral particles. Reactions to flu vaccine are not very severe and do not last for more than one or two days. The flu vaccine is not approved for use in infants younger than six months. Two doses of the vaccine are recommended in children older than six months up to nine years of age during their first year of vaccination. The second dose is given twenty-eight or more days after the first dose. Flu shot is recommended to all children aged six months till their nineteenth year.
Washing hands with soap or a disinfectant prior to handling the child or infant and avoiding direct contacts of the child with infected persons like kissing can effectively prevent flu infection.
To summarize, the effectiveness of flu care depends entirely on early detection of the symptoms, proper treatment and parental care.

Over the next four weeks, schools - public, private and parochial - will be reopening all over Virginia. Several thousand of those children will be kindergarteners who will be learning many things, but especially how to crack the code of reading. Contrary to popular belief, that is not just the school's job; your child needs your help, too!
The goal is to make your child a confident and happy reader. You will find tips below which are paraphrased from ColorinColorado.org. These tips are geared for kindergarteners but can be used with anyone who is working to build their reading skills.
Communicate with your child. Ask your child to tell you about his school day. Encourage him to explain something they did, or a game they played during recess.
Say silly tongue twisters. Say silly tongue twisters, read rhyming books and sing songs with and around your child.. These help children become sensitive to the sounds in words.
Read and experience it. Connect what your child reads to what happens in life. If reading about animals, relate it to the zoo; if reading about vegetables, relate it to a farm; etc.
Use your child's name. Point out the link between letters and sound. Say, "Jane, the word jump begins with the same sound as your name, Jane, jump. And they both begin with the same letter, J."
Play rhyming games. Have a puppet or stuffed animal say, "My name is Mark. I like words that rhyme with my name. Does park rhyme with my name? Can you think of any other words that rhyme with my name? Does wall rhyme with Mark?"
Trace and say letters. Let your child use a finger to trace a letter while saying the letter's sound. Do this on paper, in sand or on a plate of sugar.
Play sound games. Practice blending sounds into words. Ask "Can you guess what this word is? t – o – p." Hold each sound longer than usual.
Read it over and over. Yes, it may be the 100th time you've read your child's favorite book, but that's okay. As you read, stop and ask your child what is happening in the book.
Discuss letters and sounds. Help your child learn the names of the letters and the sounds they make by turning it into a game. Say, "I'm thinking of a letter and it makes the sound mmmmm."

Long Term Care Insurance
|Related Pages
Hello brilliant BPN community, We're looking to find someone to help us navigate the various Long Term Care insurance options. Anyone find someone they like? My husband and I are in our late 30s & after watching family members struggle with insane costs of care at a relatively young age, we're looking to find LTC insurance sooner than later. Anyone you recommend we talk to? Thanks! nervous nelly
Looking for a responsive, knowledgable and honest broker who specializes in long term care. We are specifically looking for a policy that meets the California Partnership guidelines. cld
I've been advised to find an attorney who specializes in insurance. A dear one in our family is gravitating towards dementia and will need long term care eventually, something we hadn't gotten around to yet. An out-of-state friend moved all of the family assets, which weren't much, to her father, making her mother basically ''destitute'' and eligible for Medicaid. Her mother now lives in a decent facility that is paid for by Medicaid. An attorney did all this for them. They are not wealthy and this arrangement has saved what little they had for her elderly father. Does anyone know if this is possible in California? Or an attorney who could advise us on this? We also want to get on board with Long Term Care insurance now and will need some help navigating that terrain. Thanks! Worried
Has anyone purchased long-term care insurance through the partnership with the California Dept of Health Care Services? If so, do you have a particular insurance broker you recommend? Any advice or suggestions on how to go about choosing coverage, a company or broker? Thanks for whatever suggestions you can offer. Debbie
Does anyone have any experience with or opinion about long-term care insurance? Is it a good deal, or a bad idea? I'm considering buying long-term care insurance for myself because I do not want to burden my child with the cost of long-term care in the event that (or when) I'm unable to care for myself. (I'm a single parent older mom.) Your input is appreciated. Thanks much!
I did not check out many plans thoroughly...I am a member of Cal PERS, which offered a good, low cost plan. But the rates were inexpensive for me (at age 35) and I could lock that price in forever. If you can afford the premiums, you can get plans which cover in-home care, not just nursing homes.
I think it's a great idea, and encourage you to do it. meg
I am trying to decide about keeping Long Term Care Insurance for my elderly parent, and I would appreciate any advice from someone who has had a parent in long term care. The insurance is expensive. My mother has no assets to speak of, so we don't have it to protect her finances --- we are carrying it on the theory that she will have better care in a nursing home with private insurance than with Medical, if a nursing home should become necessary. She is in her mid-70s and in excellent health. The tradeoff seems to be: is it better to have a better level of care in a nursing home later, or is it better for her to enjoy the money currently going to insurance while she's young and healthy? (The premium -- which I pay -- would be a lot of money for her, with her small income from social security, if I just gave it to her instead of the insurance company.) Since this is comparing apples and oranges, there may be no right answer. I have consulted HICAP folks, but frankly speaking the people that I talked to didn't seem to have any more insight than I do, which is not much. Part of the question is -- how much better is nursing home care if you have private insurance versus Medical? Another is: how likely are we to need it -- what fraction of healthy people in their 70's eventually need long-term care? I would really appreciate any thoughts from someone with some experience with an elderly parent or relative in long term care. Thank you! Anonymous

Size matters.
Especially when it comes to protecting a team's quarterback.
That is true for the Milwaukee Mustangs of the Arena Football League as well.
So, when newly-acquired (just two games) Michael Diaz went down to injury last week, the 'stangs were in need of some bulk up front.
This is a necessity in order to keep their QB, RJ Archer, from sustaining too many rug burns.
Enter James Economou, 6-6, 335 pounds from little Southern Connecticut State.
The Northeast-10 Conference he plays in is the only 'little' thing about Economou.
That is welcome news to not only Archer but fullback Mykel Benson as well.
Economou will join the rest of his stablemates which return to action this Saturday night in Jacksonville to do a little Jaw-ing with the Sharks. The AFL contest is set to kickoff at 6 p.m., CDT.
The game can be heard on 540ESPN Milwaukee with Matt Menzl making the call. The game will be streamed live on www.NiftyTv.com as well.
Milwaukee (4-8) has the daunting task of slowing down the juggernaut that has become Jacksonville. The Sharks sport the league's best mark at 11-1, having won eleven straight.
The Mustangs hope to accomplish something that has eluded them all season long. That is, winning two games in a row.
Jacksonville QB Aaron Garcia is coming off a performance that garnered him Co-Offensive Player of the Week honors.
Archer had a five TD, no pick performance of his own, which boosted his confidence to a level that his coaches had not seen earlier in the year.
Antonio Malone had a pair of interceptions in the 54-34 win over Kansas City, including a 'Pick 6' as time ran out to put an exclamation point on the overall performance of the defense.
Not that the 'stangs are in the position to look past any opponent, but Milwaukee will stay on the road with a game in Pittsburgh on June 25th. Kickoff for that game is 6:30 p.m., CDT.
The Mustangs will next trod the carpet of the Bradley Center on July 2nd, when the Cleveland Gladiators pay a visit to the Cream City. That contest gets underway at 7 p.m.
Tickets are available for that game and the regular season finale on July 15th against the Iowa Barnstormers at the BC box office, through Ticketmaster, at www.MkeMustangs.com or by calling the team's office (ask for Carlie) at 414-224-4000.

It seems like juicing and detoxing are all the rage these days, but they are actually things you should adopt into your lifestyle permanently.
I just finished a 3 week purification program and am feeling great! Cutting out ALL processed foods takes some serious will power, but it can be done with some planning and dedication!
If you don't want to do a 3 week cleanse, like I did, try these tips instead:
- Ween yourself off of caffeine (if you drink coffee every day and think you CAN'T function without it; you can!) Try having it every other day at first. I no longer HAVE to have coffee in the mornings.
- Try going meatless 1 or a few days a week. This will rule out any fast food options and help you make more healthy choices/meals at home.
- Water only! Start only drinking water; this will cut out all empty calories from soda, concentrated "juices", lattes, etc. Flavor it with lemon, lime, cucumber, or other fruits to change up the flavor every now and then.
- Try going bread less! Start using romaine lettuce for your tacos, chicken/tuna/egg salad. This will cut unnecessary gluten and calories to your diet. You can even use slices of a red/green pepper or cucumber as your "bread"!
- Have a handful of almonds or homemade trail mix with you for mid-day snack. Many store bought nuts and trail mixes are coated in unnecessary oils. Buy them in the bulk section, and make sure to read the ingredients and that they are unsalted.

Mouthwash is a great invention. There are many different types on the market that can help prevent tooth decay, gingivitis as well as freshen bad breath. There are many ingredients that were put together to create the store brands which is wonderful when you brush your teeth in the morning and evening.
Now if you are a person who has a dry mouth and just needs a little freshening up and don't want to add the added fluoride and chemicals that are in the store brand bottles throughout the day you can feel at ease and make a bottle at home.
Homemade mouthwash is easy to make and works wonderfully for freshening breath throughout the day.
- 1 teaspoon ov vegetable glycerin
- 1 teaspoon of aloe vera gel
- 10 drops of flavored essential oil (wintergreen, spearmint or peppermint)
- 1 ½ cups of water
- Mix all the ingredients together in a clean sealable jar or use one of the glass mouthwash bottles that are empty after it is washed out.
- Add a drop of food coloring to the mix if one person in the house prefers one flavor over another so they'll know which bottle to reach for when they feel the need to rinse.
Fresh breath doesn't have to cost a lot!

CARBONDALE, IL - There's one Saluki football player who has been a starter at his position longer than anyone else -- 22-straight games -- and yet even the team's most diehard fans probably wouldn't recognize him in public.
Being taken for granted doesn't bother Jason Stegman, the team's senior long snapper, who has labored in obscurity the past two seasons.
You see, if you're a snapper, you'd rather people not notice your work. Usually, the snapper only gets mentioned when a snap goes awry.
Fortunately for Stegman, he has yet to have a noticeably bad snap in his career at Southern.
"I've had a few rough ones that weren't perfect, but nothing over the head or something like that," he said.
Like the team's kickers and punters, Stegman is a pure specialist. Snapping is all he does and it's all he's ever done throughout his football career.
"As a freshman in high school, I wasn't very good at other positions and wasn't very athletic," Stegman said.
His dad, Joe Stegman, was a snapper in high school and suggested the position to his son. Soon, Jason was attending specialty camps such as Kohl's Kicking, Punting, Snapping camp. That's where he learned the finer points of his craft.
"First, you have to get the right grip on the ball," Stegman explained. "You hold it like you're going to throw it with your right hand and put your left hand along the seam."
Keys to a successful snap include keeping your back flat and your arms relaxed, he said.
"You want to finish the snap with your legs completely straight and arms extended between your legs," he described. "It almost makes a plus sign if you're looking from the side."
A typical Stegman snap usually takes 0.75 seconds from the time it leaves his fingertips until the punter catches it. Day after day, he works to perfect the snapping motion.
At first, Stegman wasn't sure if he wanted to play college football. He thought about just going to school at Missouri, but both of his parents were SIU alums, and he decided to walk-on to the Saluki football team.
Stegman said his two most memorable games were the first two of his career. He made his debut on the same night that Southern opened Saluki Stadium against Quincy on Sept. 2, 2010. His second game was played in front of 52,217 fans at Illinois.
An electrical engineering major, Stegman has a 3.7 GPA and will graduate in December. He said he might continue with graduate school at Southern and hopes to someday work for a major manufacturer like Boeing.
The Salukis held a brief, full-contact scrimmage at the end of practice today. Pads were cracking. QB A.J. Hill led an impressive scoring drive. He converted a screen pass to TE MyCole Pruitt, who rumbled down the left sideline for a big gain. RB Mika'il McCall added a 12-yard carry, followed by a 10-yard completion to WR LaSteven McKinney and a 15-yarder to Pruitt. The touchdown came on a well-placed swing pass to FB Ray Agnew, who plowed into the end zone from two yards out.
In case you're keeping track, today's center, right guard, right tackle lineup was Tanner Crum, Corey Boemer and Clayton Melville, in that order. They appeared to be effective in opening up holes in the ground game.
Notes from staffer Tyler Wooten: "Defense looked sharp in both Skeleton (7-on-7) and Team drills after being scorched yesterday. Two linebackers returned interceptions for touchdowns in Skeleton. OLB Kevin Reed jumped a flat route and picked off QB A.J. Hill, while CB Dinnus Harding took a Ryan West pass to the house, prompting the defense to mob him in the end zone. Several DBs also had impressive pass breakups today, including CB Trey Colbert over WR John Lantz, S Dante Lewis over WR Josh Sullivan, Reed over TE Adam Fuehne, and CB Emmanuel Souarin over Sullivan. DE Calvin Belts also batted down a ball thrown by Hill, leaping over the tackle to do so.
Notes from staffer Akeem Glaspie: "DE Kyle Cavil looked explosive during pass rush drills, used a swim move to get around O-linemen...RB Steve Strother had nice cut-back runs to the outside throughout practice...QB Matt Vincent looked elusive on runs during practice...CB Tay Griffin stayed home on a reverse and made a solid solo tackle...Second-team O-line created big holes for Strother during live drills."

Tim Lappano enters his third season as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Washington in 2007.
Prior to coming to Washington, Lappano spent the previous two seasons as the running backs coach for Dennis Erickson at the San Francisco 49ers. His last college appointment before the UW was as the offensive coordinator at Oregon State from 2000 to 2003. Lappano was instrumental in the resurgence of the Beavers program. Oregon State led the Pac-10 in rushing yards with 1,933, and in rushing offense, averaging 148.7 yards per game in 2002. Running back Steven Jackson led the conference with 1,690 yards while earning first-team All-Pac-10 honors.
A long-time veteran of Erickson's coaching staff, Lappano began his coaching career as Erickson's running backs coach at Idaho in 1982, helping the Vandals to a Big Sky Conference championship in 1985. After one season as running backs coach for Wyoming in 1986, Lappano served as running backs coach at Washington State before moving to offensive coordinator in 1989. He led the Cougars to a top-10 finish with Pro Bowl quarterback Drew Bledsoe and Pac-10 Offensive Player-of-the-Year, running back Steve Broussard.
Lappano moved on to California in 1992 as assistant head coach and running backs coach. While in Berkeley, Lappano coached Heisman Trophy candidate Russell White and helped lead Cal to an Alamo Bowl victory over Iowa in 1993. He returned to Wyoming in 1996 as receivers coach, helping the Cowboys to a WAC Championship while coaching All-American Marcus Harris to the Fred Biletnikoff Award, given to the nation's top receiver.
Lappano joined the Purdue coaching staff in 1997 as co-offensive coordinator and receivers coach. The Boilermakers led the Big 10 in offense that season and ranked seventh in the nation.
Lappano rejoined Erickson and made his NFL debut in 1998 with the Seattle Seahawks. During his one season as running backs coach, he helped Ricky Watters rush for 1,239 yards and nine touchdowns, earning team Offensive Player-of-the-Year honors.
During his first season with the 49ers in 2003 Lappano's running back corp ranked third in the NFC with 2,279 yards. San Francisco fullback Fred Beasley made his first Pro Bowl appearance and running back Kevan Barlow rushed for a career-high 1,024 yards despite starting only four games.
A four-year letterman at Idaho, Lappano finished his collegiate career as the school's second all-time leading rusher with 2,196 yards. He earned a bachelor's degree in general studies in 1983. He played high school football at Gonzaga Preparatory School in Spokane, WA, earning All-State honors as a senior.
The 49-year-old Lappano is a native of Spokane. He and his wife, Sandi, have two sons, Taylor and Kyle.

Especially in lyric-writing, where used more figuratively than literally, e.g. (mental) wandering and wondering, the two seem often interchangeable. And I can see wondering being conceived as an analogue of wandering (only, in one's mind). However from peering at their etymologies (see: wonder and wander), it appears this isn't the case—or have I simply not dug deep enough?

The two words have separate origins, although they may have crossed paths along the way.
Wonder comes from Old English wundrian, the verb form of wundor "marvelous thing, marvel, the object of astonishment," from Proto-Germanic *wundran (origin unknown). In Middle English, the noun became associated with the emotion of wonder (late 1200s), and the verb had a transitive sense meaning "to inspire curiosity in."
Wander comes from Old English wandrian "move about aimlessly, wander," ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *wend- "to turn." It's related to the verbs wind and wend. This word also became associate with the mind, emotions, affections, etc., in Middle English (c.1400).
Thus, wonder comes from a uniquely Germanic noun, and wander comes from an Indo-European verb, but they both became associated with the mind in Middle English. It's quite common for similar-sounding words to influence each other through confusion and wordplay, so there may be some convergence – you certainly aren't the first person to notice a metaphorical similarity between the two.
