I wonder, what is the fastest way to accomplish this kind of task in PostgreSQL. I am interested in the fastest solutions ever possible.
I found myself such kind of solution for MySQL, it performs much faster than just truncation of tables one by one. But anyway, I am interested in the fastest solutions for MySQL too. See my result here, of course it it for MySQL only: https://github.com/bmabey/database_cleaner/issues/126
I have following assumptions:
I have 30-100 tables. Let them be 30.
Half of the tables are empty.
Each non-empty table has, say, no more than 100 rows. By this I mean, tables are NOT large.
I need an optional possibility to exclude 2 or 5 or N tables from this procedure.
I cannot! use transactions.
I need the fastest cleaning strategy for such case working on PostgreSQL both 8 and 9.
I see the following approaches:
1) Truncate each table. It is too slow, I think, especially for empty tables.
2) Check each table for emptiness by more faster method, and then if it is empty, reset its unique identifier column (analog of AUTO_INCREMENT in MySQL) to initial state (1), i.e to restore its last_value from sequence back to 1, otherwise run truncate on it.
I use Ruby code to iterate through all tables, calling code below on each of them, I tried to setup SQL code running against each table like:
DO $$DECLARE r record;
somehow_captured = SELECT last_value from #{table}_id_seq
IF (somehow_captured == 1) THEN
== restore initial unique identifier column value here ==
IF (somehow_captured > 1) THEN
TRUNCATE TABLE #{table};
Manipulating this code in various aspects, I couldn't make it work, because of I am unfamiliar with PostgreSQL functions and blocks (and variables).
Also my guess was that EXISTS(SELECT something FROM TABLE) could somehow be used to work good as one of the "check procedure" units, cleaning procedure should consist of, but haven't accomplished it too.
I would appreciate any hints on how this procedure could be accomplished in PostgreSQL native way.
I need all this to run unit and integration tests for Ruby or Ruby on Rails projects. Each test should have a clean DB before it runs, or to do a cleanup after itself (so called teardown). Transactions are very good, but they become unusable when running tests against particular webdrivers, in my case the switch to truncation strategy is needed. Once I updated that with reference to RoR, please do not post here the answers about "Obviously, you need DatabaseCleaner for PG" and so on and so on.
The strategy described here recently was merged into DatabaseCleaner, https://github.com/bmabey/database_cleaner as :pre_count option (see README there).

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ An 86-year-old southern Kansas man has died, four days after he was pinned under his tractor for 23 hours.
Authorities say Paul Elder's leg was crushed and he suffered severe burns in the mishap Saturday. He was grading the driveway at his Mulvane home when his John Deere tractor overturned on top of him.
His calls for help were not heard because of noise from the tractor's idling motor.
Emergency responders jacked up the tractor and pulled Elder from underneath.
Elder was airlifted to the Via Christi Saint Francis burn unit in critical condition. He died Tuesday.

Hardware Frequently Asked Questions
- Can the WS-2080 backlight be programmed to stay on all of the time?
No, the backlight is temporary only. The bulb would burn out eventually if left on all of the time.
- Can I shorten the sensor cables?
Yes, but it will void your warranty. We recommend using the included zip ties to clean up the installation.
- Can I lengthen the sensor cables?
Yes, they can be lengthened up to 50'. Please visit: http://www.ambientweather.com/amwecaexfora.html
- The rain gauge is recording rain when it is not raining. How can I fix this?
This occurs when the rain gauge vibrates due to high winds. Consider moving close the ground, on a stable mounting platform. You can extend the cables (see above).
- The humidity reads --
The humidity measurement range is 10 to 99%. If the humidity reads below 10%, the console will display "--".
- The Daylight Savings Time (DST) does not set.
There was an error in the manual previous to Version 1.3. Download the latest version of the User Manual.
- Is there an AC adaptor availabe for the console?
No, not at the moment, but it will power from the USB port when connected to a computer.
- The remote sensor is not transmitting to the console (dashes on the display). How do I fix this issue?
- Please reference: http://ambientweather.wikispaces.com/Remote+Sensor+does+not+display+on+the+console
- My temperature is reading too high during the day. How do I fix this issue?
The radiation shield is not effective in most climates. We recommend extending the cables to place the thermo-hygrometer in a shaded area, or ordering a SRS100LX radiation shield.
- The anemometer is freezing up during ice conditions? How can I prevent this?
Use automotive lock de-icer spray, which can be purchased at most stores for about $1.00. Just apply two quick sprays (not much is needed).
- Will the rain gauge freeze during ice conditions?
Yes, it will stop updating when it freezes, and will thaw when it warms up. The ice will not damage the rain gauge.
- Can I connect the weather station console to AC power?
Yes. The console has a USB port, and if it is not in use (not connected to a computer), you can use the USB cable (included) and the following USB/AC adaptor:
If the console is connected to a computer, the computer provides power and it is a non-issue.
- The rain gauge stopped reporting rain. It reads 0.00 after a rainfall.
The most common issue is the console is displaying hourly rain (1hr) and it has not rained in the last hour. Next to the rain field, the increments of measure is displayed. Confirm it also reads 0.00 if you switch to 24hr, week, month or total (reference the rain section of the user manual). Confirm they do not read 0.00 for the longer increments of rain.
The second most common issue is bugs nesting in the gauge. Make sure that there are no obstructions in the tipping mechanism. Lift the funnel off by pushing on the two tabs on the sides of the rain gauge. Check for obstructions, spider webs, ant debris, etc. Clean with a damp cloth. Spray with bug spray if required. Tip the mechanism to confirm it is registering on the display. Replace the funnel.
Check the connector for corrosion. Clean with pencil eraser tip if any corrosion is present, then a damp cloth.
If defective and within one year warranty, visit www.ambientweather.com/rma.html. If out of warranty, visit: http://www.ambientweather.com/amws1180rg.htmlto replace.
We recommend replacing both the rain gauge and the thermo-hygrometer-transmitter, which processes this signal.
- Humidity reads 99% and wind speed is mostly 0. In addition, the Radio Controlled Clock does not work. There is an issue with the oscillator chip at higher voltages (mostly lithium batteries). The LED flashes every 8 seconds vs. 45 seconds is a symptom of this issue. It requires replacement of the thermo-hygrometer-transmitter. To get stated, please visit: www.ambientweather.com/rma.html.
- There is a seven minute interruption in data every 2 hours. Is this normal? The transmitter receives the radio controlled clock time signal every two hours, than transmits this data to the reciever. It can take up to seven minutes to process this signal . During this period, weather data will not be updated.
- Indoor and Outdoor Temperature read 140 degF. This is caused by software corruption of the console memory, specifically the calibration constants. To correct, press and hold the UP arrow key for 30 seconds to restore to factory default.
Software Frequently Asked Questions
- There is a seperate page for EasyWeather FAQs:

One of the finest specimens within our Luxury Collection.Deep-seated in the history of radio advertising, these Clear Havana Perfectos from 1920s were originally created around the turn of the 20th century by Samuel Paley, father of CBS founder William S. Paley. As an advertising medium for promoting the family's cigar business, William S. Paley sponsored a radio show in Philadelphia called "The La Palina Hour" which boosted the brand to one of America's highest selling premium cigars and led William down the road to the establishment of the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS). Manufactured in Philadelphia using a dark brown Colorado Claro wrapper and an exceptional blend of tobaccos from Havana, Cuba, the La Palina Excellentes c.1926 offer a mild, satiating experience packed with both rich flavors and a rich history in early radio broadcasting. This storied brand carries on today within the Paley family, and continues to embody the finest aspects of tradition and craftsmanship.
There are no customer reviews for La Palina c.1920s, yet. Be the first to write one!

I remember a cartoon from my graduate school days that showed a cockroach-looking creature looking over the shoulder of what looked like a scientist working busily at a desk. The caption of the cartoon said "an Exogenous variable watches an economist at work." I was shown that cartoon about the same time I came to the conclusion that there was really nothing in the world that is exogenous, or determined by predetermined forces.

Remember CALEA? In 2005 higher education government affairs and information technology specialists held forth against the potential for configuration requirements under a revision of this legislation and ultimately prevailed in federal court in the case in a case brought by the American Council on Higher Education.

No, I'm not referring to the election. I'm referring to the universal meta-question that applies to any research. Academics do a lot of research; some of it gets published, some of that gets read, and a minority of that really matters. If no one cares, the results (and the work it took to produce them) don't matter.

My two teenagers have developed musical skills that neither their father nor myself ever possessed. They both participate in marching band, and have since middle school. I did not quite understand what this meant when my kids first got involved. Most of their friends played in the band and -- like the best student organizations — the after school commitment provided my kids with both a social life and valuable musical instruction.

This story about the election results got me wondering. (And everybody can put the knives down -- I'm not analyzing candidates here.) In a climate in which government spending is generally considered suspect, and in which people who campaign on "tax cuts good, spending bad" do very well, ballot measures that supported higher education specifically did very well.

I was hoping to engage in a dialogue with this community about how departments (or units or divisions etc.) can develop a social media strategy.What are some appropriate goals that can be attached to utilizing social media as a means of communication?In discussions around social media, I find that we tend to want to jump to the tools and the platforms. What we need first, I think, is a discussion about the goals we are trying to achieve.

Contemporary Americans, wrote the philosopher Richard Rorty, are "rich fat [and] tired;" they live in an "Alexandrian" culture. Craig Brandon's new book, The Five-Year Party: How Colleges Have Given Up On Educating Your Child and What You Can Do About It, describes, in bland and angry prose, just the sort of universities Alexandrian cultures get. *****************************************

We spend so much time worrying about what is wrong with our U.S. higher ed system that it is easy to lose sight of how much the system has improved over the past 20 years. This is a mistake, as if we fail to honor our successes we will forget that change can and does happen, and that our colleagues are working incredibly hard each and every day to improve our institutions.

I'm playing in a poker tournament next week for an association's foundation fund. Apparently I will be playing something called "Texas Hold 'Em." I've never played poker before. I've watched it on television. Several of my friends frequently play the game. I am participating mostly so that I can "lose" my money for a good cause. I hope I can last for a few minutes at least as I do I have a basic understanding of cards.

I don't know, it would be in Italian any way....
Has anyone tried buying from this online store? They seem to have some pretty afordable Amouages.

Really recommending Nautica Oceans by Nautica. Cheap but very fresh. Smells like lemon and sea salt.
The thread was deleted for some reason. Here's some pics. The first one the metal has flaked from the embossed lettering:
I didn't get a tracking number either, I found it on the parcel itself after it had arrived. But I wanted to know where my package was and Anna replied to me she's keeping track of it lol.
The one...
Calm down, I haven't thrown them into the trash, just put them away until I'm ready to revisit them. But I doubt I'll ever like any of the scents. They all smell the same to me.
Ask them for the tracking number. They send you the box with Italian Post.
JiveHippo and Octivarium, I'm happily awaiting your reviews right here ^^
Let's hope your Aventus bottle looks better than this BNr's:

Very wearable, I'm actually wearing it today to work. Must be...
How rich are you??
I've decided to throw all samples into the bin. These 'scents' are so out of this world and chemical that they make me sick almost physically. They give me no joy whatsoever instead it feels like...
One of the envelopes contained a bunch of black and white photos of random people, looked like they were taken 50 years ago, but no fragrance; its label was something illegible "Auyelo Oreio Prefam"....
Where did you find it so cheap??

I'm 24 and bought a bottle last week. Love it. Smells very unique and fresh.
CdG 2 MAN is nasty incense on me. Too much castoreum there. Had to scrub it off my arm. Wonderwood though... that's another story. Wonderful scent indeed.
Which one is your favorite SH frag? That is also wearable in public?
Who takes a niche sample scent to the gym lol?
Blind buying Gold Man is risky business. It was one of the fragrances I've been wanting to try out in my big sample pack that arrived yesterday.
My verdict: it smells very strong, anussy...
Thanks, nfn :) It's a neat collection I've got but I want to expand it with so much more. I can honestly tell you the only scents I use are Aventus, TdH, Encre Noire, Oolang Infini, Spicebomb and...

Purchased Aventus, TdH and Encre Noire last month =)
You can buy it directly from the perfume company as well.
Nautica Oceans by Nautica
Am I the only one who doesn't like this fragrance? I've dabbed from my sample on multiple occassions and tried to like but I just don't, despite the luxury feel of it. Smells too much medicinal...
Oolang Infini by Atelier Cologne
Is it safe to actually spray perfume on clothes? Won't that stain the fabric?
Is there some kind of star requirement you need to acquire before being able to post there?
I've already been in contact with them, they didn't have it in stock, despite that their online store saying so =(
Dear Mr. X,
We are sorry to inform you that Andree Putman Perfumes are still...
Does anyone know if this fragrance has been discontinued or something? I've tried to contact Andree Putman customer service but they never replied to me; it feels as if the house died along with the...
And the 1 million dollar question - do you intend to buy a bottle for yourself now?
Of course it had to be Aventus, the most divine and amazing scent ever created. It is IN FACT the very smell that was used in the last scene of Perfume: The Story of a Murderer movie. And yes, I love...
Why would I even bother to send a smelly envelope back with unusable samples?
Nah I ordered mine from Roullier White.
Can I still ask for a refund despite them sending out replacement samples? I feel like I'm coming off as greedy then. :S
What are you trying to hint, mate?
I got a reply from them. They are sending out new samples right as we speak, and this time in more "secure" containers. Will keep you updated on my next...
The spicy scent (the one ending in 'T', I think) is not Tabarome, I could decipher the word with a magnifying glass on one of the vials :)
Aventus was not among the those I ordered. I already...
Okay I could decipher some more:
*Virgin Island Water was not one of the leaked ones. Smells like a nice coconut drink, though a bit alcoholly.
*One scent smells very fresh and intense, could it...
Ironically the only label that I could read was "Vetiver". Which means I got 2 of the same scent and one missing =(.
About to smell them now, so far identified:
3 official carded samples:...
2.5 weeks ago I ordered 11 Creed samples from the UK online store Roullier White.
After lots of anxious waiting the envelope finally arrived. I was already now annoyed that the shipping charge was...
They send you the entire fragrance range, both women's and men's scents. Will make my order on Monday!
You have to order something on their site first, be it samples or a full bottle, in order to register an account. So open up your wallet and start spending! They've got one of the largest supply of...
Me too was interested in sampling this unusual perfume house only to find their site rather confusing and not so friendly to non-Italian speaking customers. Did like the background music though, the...
When I smell Aventus, I first and foremost smell Juniper (as in Gin, the alcoholic beverage), not pineapple. Also a bit of black currant (cassis) and apple. The pineapple note must be very subtle in...
Why do you guys buy the Woman Amouage bottles? For your ladies or yourselves?
This was not funny. You don't make jokes about Aventus.
Basenotes should definitely develop an app, I can think of that it would be very useful to review fragrances and discover new ones.
Haven't searched for "perfume" at AppStore though, what kind of...
Nautica Oceans by Nautica
Does the glass bottle come with different patterns?

News from Around Africa
On February 12th, the Angolan Press reported that "a specimen of the extinction-feared giant sable antelope was said to have been spotted by the provincial director of the Kuando-Kubango Forest Development Institute, F. Dala and a Rádio Nacional de Angola journalist at Luiana Wildlife Park in south-eastern Kuando- Kubango province." Dala stated that "he saw the black antelope during an air trip over Luiana park, totally black and with curved horns" and was seconded by the RNA journalist.
African Indaba received an email from Pedro Vaz Pinto (Catholic University of Luanda) that there can be no question that the animal spotted from the air was a Hippotragus n. niger or common sable, since the observed area has always contained this sable sub-species. Vaz Pinto's statement was supported by a third observer on the aircraft. This witness said "they saw a normal sable and [he was] surprised to see the false news".
The Giant Sable Hippotragus niger variani occurs only in Malanje province in and around the Cangandala National Park. Vaz Pinto and his fellow researchers are in fact trying to obtain proof that pockets of this rare and beautiful antelope still exist in an ongoing project funded by Shikar Club and Dallas Safari Club.
The value of top-of-the-line concession hunts was evident when Rann Hunting Safaris (firstname.lastname@example.com) offered 30- day, lion-only safaris to Botswana for a whopping $131,975 at the SCI Convention. The total includes $2,500 daily rate, $10,500 concession fee, a trophy fee of $20,000 and $10,000 Resource Utilization Fee. Rann Safaris was sold out through 2006 on the second day of the convention.
On 26th January KWWG Trust Chairman Omara Abae Kalasingha sent an open letter to His Excellency, the Hon. Mwai Kibaki MP, President of the Republic of Kenya, regarding the GG Kariuki Bill (see African Indaba 3/1). For readers that wish to receive the entire letter contact email@example.com for a copy. Kalasingha argues that "most Anglophone countries in Africa have similar wildlife laws to [Kenya]. That none have such monumental problems as we do, suggests that it is not so much the laws which are bad, as the manner in which they are applied here. Failure to correctly interpret and enforce the wildlife laws is rooted in the mismanagement of KWS. The present Wildlife Act is not perfect. However, with some minor modification, which is what the GG Kariuki Bill provides, despite its defects, it is workable and the Bill will resolve the immediate crises."
The African Wildlife Foundation and the Mozambican Ministry of Tourism (MITUR) signed a Memorandum of Understanding in October 2004 to solidify and formalize their longstanding partnership to improve Mozambique's wildlife conservation. The 600,000 ha Parque Nacional de Banhine will be one of the top conservation priorities under this partnership.
In September 2004 a team tried to inventory the Addax in the Termit Massif and the Tin-Toumma Erg in Niger. Other species like Scimitar-horned Oryx, Dama gazelle and Dorcas gazelle were also targeted. Dr. H. Planton indicated to the press that a small population of Addax estimated around a hundred was confirmed. Wildlife numbers in Niger have diminished significantly during the last 20 years. Scimitar-horned Oryx have very probably disappeared from Niger; Dama gazelles are on the way to extinction; Dorcas gazelle, the most common in Niger, has the status of "extremely vulnerable". Niger's 1998 Law Nr. 98-07 regulates hunting and the protection of wildlife; however, significant arrivals of hunters from Arab countries and non-respect for the laws on species hunted and hunting quotas are threatening wildlife survival.
South Africa
Land claims "could kill Kruger National Park" as African communities dispossessed under apartheid have claimed at least a quarter of the land in KNP, including its headquarters at Skukuza. If all the claims were validated, they "would probably cost the park its survival as a national park and an international icon", said SAN Parks communications head Wanda Mkutshulwa.
The reform of the Tanzanian hunting industry was advertised as the topic of a public discussion of the Wildlife Conservation Society of Tanzania (WCST) in Arusha. This national NGO supports sustainable use of wildlife, and the regular public lectures normally cover all aspects of wildlife conservation in the country. However in this case, intervention by the Chairman of Tanzanian Hunters Association (TAHOA) and the Director of Wildlife left the WCST Arusha branch with no choice but to call off the public discussion at the last minute.
In a subsequent letter to all members of TAHOA, the chairman strongly stressed how all members are satisfied with the current hunting system in Tanzania. This is remarkable and contradicts a "Call for Compliance" dated 20 August 2004 that was personally signed by the Director of Wildlife. This document was sent to every hunting operator and PH in the country, explaining the urgent need for the law to be respected. The Director cited problems that include "Professional Hunters failing to pay serious attention to the law, hunting of substandard trophies, disrespect of hunting block boundaries, wounded animals left in the field and the use of unauthorized and unacceptable weapons." (Both letters are with African Indaba)
The Society for Environmental Exploration (UK) and the University of Dar es Salaam is currently conducting research into the large mammal population of the Kilombero Valley. Estimates suggest that this area contains somewhere between 70% and 75% of the world's remaining Puku (Kobus vardoni). The 2002 aerial survey suggests that the population has declined by 66%. The researchers blame the bush-meat trade and increased human settlement. Kilombero Floodplain was one of the finest unprotected wildlife areas in Africa. (Source Gnusletter, Vol23/2)
Belgian Technical Cooperation plans to develop an integrated management plan for the new Kilombero Valley RAMSAR site. Huge numbers of livestock brought into the valley by commercial pastoralists pose a major threat, however. Exact figures are unknown but could be several hundred thousand cattle, particularly in the dry season. These large numbers of livestock are displacing Puku and other species. Buffaloes that were once estimated at 40,000 now probably do not exceed 6,000.
Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) chief Dr. Arthur Mugisha has given notice to resign as the executive director of UWA after having worked in the wildlife service for 16 years in different capacities. Mugisha is will work with Flora and Fauna International, a non-governmental Organization based in the United Kingdom.
The rapid spread of the alien invader Mimosa pigra threatens the Lechwe population on the Kafue flats. The operators of the Lochinvar NP lodge have manually cleared an area close to the camp. The Zambian Wildlife Authority (ZAWA) has not implemented any control measures yet. It appears that the problem is entering an exponential phase with each plant producing about 200,000 seeds. If nothing is done, the loss of habitat will have a severe impact on the Lechwe and waterfowl populations. ZAWA does not have the funds or capacity to implement a control program and this would be an ideal project package for a donor organization to adopt. (J. Anderson, email@example.com)
H. Kabeta of the Zambia Wildlife Authority expressed concern about government's allocation of title deeds to foreigners in GMAs without consultation of ZAWA. The Lusaka Post published a report that allocating land to foreigners in GMAs causes management conflicts and requested clear guidelines on the issuance of title deeds, since the Wildlife Act has no such provision, whereas the Land Act permitted it with permission from ZAWA.
The Herald reported that Parks and Wildlife Management Authority has urged farmers to venture into wildlife farming to generate foreign currency for the county since wildlife farming was the most profitable enterprise despite current economic hardships.
The spokesperson said that "on medium-sized to large properties, sport hunting has contributed significantly to foreign currency inflows in the country," and that income could also be generated from meat sales, photographic safaris, canoeing, and fishing apart from sport hunting. Of doubtful benefit is the statement that a farmer could venture into wildlife farming with a minimum of 500ha. Such small properties would certainly chase foreign hunters to other destinations.
The Parks and Wildlife Management Authority stated that Zimbabwe earned Zim$12 billion from the last hunting season; Zimbabwe has 545 registered hunters, the majority of whom are white and were taught professional hunting by their parents. The Authority plans to assist blacks to enter the hunting industry. In May 2004, the Authority established a hunting safari firm, Mgundumu Safaris, at Matetsi near Victoria Falls.
"Hwange National Park has now an elephant population of about 50,000 (1997: 31,600 - 2001: 44,500). Best scientific evidence suggests that more than approx. 12,000 would lead to a loss of biodiversity. Although the management of the park rests squarely on the shoulders of the Wildlife Management Authority, the power to determine the fate of Hwange's elephants and the park's diversity shifted into the hands of a global public represented through a multitude of national and international organizations that has assumed great authority with little knowledge or responsibility and which cannot be held accountable for what happens. Hwange and its elephants have become a global commons and a tragedy is in the making!"
Quote from Mike Jones (SASUSG) … and finally – observe the Lacey Act, or suffer the consequences!
4 US hunters who hunted in British Columbia with an unlicensed guide were charged under the Lacey Act, when they brought their trophies into the US. The Lacey Act makes it illegal to bring a trophy into the US or across a state line if it was taken in violation of local law. Darren Leggett was sentenced to 4 months home confinement, 2 years probation, fined $10,000 and forced to pay $20,000 restitution to USF&W. A Dakota rifle and a mounted stone sheep were forfeited. In BC he was fined C$5,850 and received a 5-year Canada-wide ban on hunting. Bret Roderick got a $30,000 fine and a 6-year hunting ban. He forfeited a Dakota arms rifle and a mounted mountain goat. Larry Pagel and Fred Souders each got a $18,000 fine. Saulnier, the unlicensed Canadian outfitter/guide was given the harshest sentence ever issued in BC for illegal hunting activities. After pleading guilty to 22 counts of violating wildlife statutes, he was sentenced to 6 months prison, fined C$20,000 and banned from hunting anywhere in Canada for 10 years. This includes a ban on possessing wildlife, firearms and archery equipment. A second Canadian, Kirk Porayko was sentenced to pay C$8,000, forfeited his rifle on top of 5-year hunting ban.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ The Kansas Senate passes a bill for eliminating a state budget deficit.
The measure was approved on a 25-14 vote Thursday. It went to the House, where it's already attracting bipartisan support.
The bill makes adjustments of $335 million in the budget for the
fiscal year that ends June 30.
A little more than half of those adjustments come from refinancing bonds and making accounting changes.
There are some cuts in school funding and social services, but
leaders of the Senate's Republican majority had wanted deeper
Instead, Democrats and some Republicans, including conservatives, prevailed.
Schools would lose $7 million in aid instead of the $99 million Senate GOP leaders had proposed.

Report/gallery: Matirosyan-Ouma
Ringside report and gallery by Chris Cozzone
In what was, neither, a nightmare loss for one, nor a dream win for the other, Vanes "Nightmare" Martirosyan retained his pair of belts and perfect record with an imperfect-but-gutsy decision win over Kassim "The Dream" Ouma, last night at the Hard Rock Hotel's The Joint in Las Vegas.
In command for most of the fight, Martirosyan weathered Ouma's persistent aggression, a left eye injury and a flash knockdown in the ninth round, to spring back at the former champ with big right hands thrown behind a somewhat solid plan to box and move . . . Click here for more
Arum, Zabala to meet in NYC
Top Rank chief Bob Arum and promoter Tuto Zabala, Jr. of All Star Boxing will meet this week in New York to discuss the possibility of working together with Mexico's hottest current prospect Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. "Canelo" who is currently rated #4 WBC, #5 WBO and #7 WBA has become a huge idol in Mexico, fighting exclusively on TV giant Televisa in Mexico and selling out arenas throughout the country. At only 19 years old, he has compiled an undefeated record of 30-0-1, 22 KOs, winning the WBA FEDECENTRO, WBO Latin, NABF and WBC Youth world titles in the process. "Its time for "Canelo" to invade the US market," said his promoter Zabala. "He has already fought on Telemundo but we want him to become the biggest PPV attraction. He has all the tools to make it. We believe he's ready to take on the best of his division like Manny Paquiao, Miguel Cotto and others." If a deal is reached, Alvarez could be included on the March 13 PPV show at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium where Manny Paquiao will face Joshua Clottey.
Mayweather-Caballero unite
In October 2009, Fightnews reported that WBA/IBF super bantamweight champion Celestino Caballero (33-2, 23 KOs) was to be trained by Jeff Mayweather of the famed Mayweather family. The two recently begain training together in Las Vegas, Nevada where Mayweather resides and things are going smoothly. "Working with Caballero is what trainer's dream of getting in a fighter. Even though he's a world champion he wants to get better and is an extremely hard worker. He told me that as far as the training goes I'm in charge and that he's trusting in me. I can't ask for more than that as a trainer," said Mayweather. Jeff Mayweather, uncle to boxing superstar Floyd "Money" Mayweather, comes with his own championship credentials. In addition to being a former IBO world champion as a boxer, he led Sultan Ibragimov to the WBO heavyweight title in 2007 as a trainer.

Ramos-Solis not for WBA belt?
By Gabriel F. Cordero
As of now, the planned February 6 clash in Merida, Mexico between WBA interim super featherweight champion Likar Ramos and Jorge "El Coloradito" Solís will not be for Ramos' WBA belt. "The WBA has not received any communication on the part of the promoters of Ramos or Solís," said WBA vice president Gilberto Jesus Mendoza. "They need an our approval and this has not been produced. On the other hand, Solís needs to be reclassified because he is not found among the first fifteen in the rankings of the super featherweight category. Because of this, the case should be approved by the Championship Committee. For the ratings, the WBA regulations are very clear and they should comply. In this situation, it's feasible that Jorge Linares and Likar Ramos could maybe fight for the WBA interim title in Venezuela, since Linares is another who has shown interest in that crown." Mendoza also said Solis' promoter Zanfer still owes money to the WBA for other previously sanctioned bouts.
Arena inks TV deal
A new TV deal between Arena Box-Promotion and the Sat.1 network will officially be announced at a press conference on Tuesday in Hamburg.

Now Sat. 1 will feature the rematch between German heavyweight hope Steffen Kretschmann (14-1, 13 KOs) and Russian tough-guy Denis Bakhtov (32-5, 21 KOs). In June 2009, Bakhtov pulled off an upset by knocking out Kretschmann in one round. Now the German is seeking revenge. More details will be announced next week.
Golden Boy, Khan team up
Golden Boy Promotions has entered a a strategic alliance with Khan Promotions to promote WBA super lightweight world champion Amir Khan (22-1, 16 KOs) with the goal of expanding his presence globally, particularly in the United States. "Amir is already a star in the United Kingdom and now, we are going to help him shine in the United States and across the world," said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. An opponent, date and location for Khan's next fight will be announced shortly. Ricky Hatton has been mentioned as a possible future Khan opponent. Khan is now training with Freddie Roach at the Wild Card Gym in Hollywood.
Khan was previously promoted by Frank Warren. "You just hope that people don't suffer from amnesia, that's all I can say," Warren told PA Sport last week. "I have delivered all I said I was going to do. When he turned pro I said I'd look after him and I'd make sure he wins a world title and I've done that."
Martirosyan defeats Ouma
In a good action bout, unbeaten super welterweight contender Vanes Martirosyan (27-0, 17 KOs) won a ten round unanimous decision over former world champion Kassim Ouma (26-7, 18 KOs) on Saturday night at the Hard Rock Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas. It was Martirosyan's best performance to date as he sharply landed flush shots against the ever advancing Ouma in every round. Ouma scored a flash knockdown in round nine, and picked up the pace after round six, but it was too little too late. Martirosyan prevailed by scores of 97-92, 97-93, 97-93 to retain his NABF/NABO belts.

Haiti update
By Robert Coster
Haitian businessman and promoter Jacques Deschamps has reassured his many friends in the boxing world that he is fine even though his home was damaged by the terrible earthquake that hit Haiti. However, two prospects from his stable, junior welterweight Evens Pierre (12-0, 11 KOs) and junior featherweight Johny Orisme (4-1, 1 KO) have not been accounted for as of yet. Both young men are based in Panama but were visiting their family during the end-of-the-year holidays. For his part, former WBC junior flyweight champion Edgar Sosa, signed with Deschamps, is organizing a relief fund in Mexico to come to the aid of the beleaguered Caribbean island. Haitian-origin boxing champions Andre Berto, Jean Pascal and middleweight contender Daniel Edouard are also involved in rescue missions to help their countrymen. The WBC and the WBA have issued statements of solidarity with Haitian people, a clear message that the boxing world feels deep concern for Haiti's tragedy.
Vasquez downs Dailey
By Kurt Wolfheimer at ringside.
The originally scheduled main event at the Arena in South Philadelphia, PA on Friday evening between Derek "Pooh" Ennis (19-2-1, 12 KOs) and Edwin Vasquez (22-14-2, 8 KOs) had to be postponed when Ennis rolled his ankle over the weekend and due to the swelling, was unable to complete his training for the fight. Promoter Greg Robinson of Power Productions knew the show must go on and put together quite an entertaining five bout card which left over seven hundred and fifty plus fans in attendance extremely satisfied. In the main event of the evening, lightweight Victor Vasquez (11-3, 6 KOs) once again proved why he is such a crowd favorite in Philly by scoring a hard fought sixth round stoppage of Gustavo Dailey. The co-feature of the evening would not disappoint either as featherweight prospect Coy Evans blasted out twenty fight veteran Vineash Rungea for just the second time in his professional career with a devastating straight right hand at 2:20 of the second round.

Results from Motown
By Bob Ryder
Promoter John Carlise presented a nine bout card Friday night at DeCarlo's Convention Center in the Detroit suburb of Warren before a near capacity crowd. Late arrival of the ringside physicians pushed the scheduled start time back over an hour but once the show got started the fans were treated to an entertaining evening of pro boxing. In the co-main, 2001 National Golden Gloves super heavyweight champ, Lonnie Zaid (aka Lonnie Redmond) was attempting to once again start up his on and off again pro career. Having last fought in 2007 it would be expected that Zaid might exhibit some ring rust. Facing Cincinnati's Tim Back, Zaid used a strong jab to control a somewhat tentative contest. or more details and photos click here…

Shimada defeats Salinas
By Joe Koizumi
WBA no. 15 lightweight Takehiro Shimada (24-5-1, 16 KOs), 134.5, defeated durable and game Mexican Alexis Salinas (11-4-2, 7 KOs), 134.25, by a unanimous decision (99-93, 97-93 and 97-94) over ten hot frames on Friday in Tokyo, Japan. Having failed to win the WBA 135-pound belt from Paulus Moses in Namibia last July, Shimada, the oldest active boxer here at 38, made a fine display of left jabs that penetrated the aggressive Mexican's guard so effectively that he comfortably and continually piled up points. Salinas, sixteen years his junior, turned loose with non-stop combinations including looping rights to be in command in round eight. But Shimada, a cagey veteran, fought back hard to maintain his initiative. Shimda is gunning for a shot at Moses again next time at his home turf as he is a good ticket-seller by himself.

U.S. Exposure to Dubai Crisis Is Less Than U.K.'s
U.S. banks have only $9.9 billion in United Arab Emirates loan exposure compared with $49.5 billion for U.K. banks, Royal Bank of Scotland estimates. That could assuage some of today's jitters in U.S. markets.
Still, the lack of official data has left investors wondering. U.S. bank shares are lower premarket, as expected, with Citigroup down 5.8%, Bank of America 4.6%, Goldman Sachs down 2.9% and J.P. Morgan off 3.5%.
For total UAE loan exposure, the U.S. share looks small. RBS estimates that the U.K. has more than half Europe's total. France and Germany are next, with $11 billion and $10 billion, respectively. The tally doesn't include bonds.

I have a little problem. I've installed two themes with a theme switcher for mobile devices.
With the mobile theme your plugin works great.
With the Desktop theme i want your plugin menu just under the header navigation.
But i've got also 2 menus within the sidebar and there i want to switch off your plugin, but i have no idea how to do this.

IF I need to have concurrently running versions of a Windows VM (using KVM 0.10.2 on CentOS), each one configured differently ( a snapshot that will then branch off unto its own VM) what is the best, fastest way? Is my only option to use virt-sysprep and then virt-clone or is there a faster way? LVM snapshots are good if I don't want to run BOTH versions of the VM, but I do.
I think you have to clone VMs. This shouldn't be too bad if you create a good template VM first.
This is now your template. Do not restart this VM or your will lose the sysprep setup.
For each VM, clone this template. Note that sysprep removed your network settings, so you will have to setup the network on each clone.
The clone process will be completely driven by disk speed on the host. You can speed things up by having faster disks (maybe a SAN).
Also, it will go faster if you have smaller vdisks. Windows 2008 will just fit on 32GB. If you need more than that for particular VMs, my preferred method would be to add a second vdisk after the cloning and mount that as a D: drive on the guest rather than expanding C: for that VM.
