The Los Alamos baseball team began its season Saturday at Ricketts Park in Farmington, taking on perennial power Piedra Vista.
Los Alamos scored a 5-2 win the first game of the doubleheader, but Piedra Vista fought back and won the second game, 12-2.
Both teams are now 1-1.
This week, Los Alamos will play three more games at St. Pius X's tournament.
Los Alamos will begin the tournament at 8 a.m. Thursday against Albuquerque High School.
The contest will be the Bulldogs' first game of the year.
The Los Alamos girls' tennis team brought home a first-place team trophy from the February State-Wide Invitational tournament held in Albuquerque over the weekend.
The girls scored 166 team points to win the tournament, followed by Mesilla Valley Christian (142), Farmington (116), St. Pius X (110), St. Michael's )102), Piedra Vista (76), Bosque (43) and Silver (0).
Sidra Hsieh-Ratliff won the No. 1 singles bracket to lead Los Alamos.
She beat Farmington's Riley Coleman, 6-0 and 6-2, in the championship.
Hsieh-Ratliff and Lauryn Anaya also won the No. 1 doubles' crown. The duo beat Farmington's Halie Nygren and Coleman in the finals, 8-3, to go 4-0 at the tournament.
Anaya also went 2-2 in the No. 1 singles bracket.
Maia Menefee and Michelle Alexander went 2-2 at No. 1 doubles.
Anna Lemke and Rachelle Stokes won the No. 2 doubles crown. They beat Farmington's Anita Briody-Pavlik and Isabel Zamarriego 8-4 in the championship to also finish 4-0 at the tournament.
At No. 3 singles, Menefee went 2-2.
Lemke and Mackenzie Cook both went 2-0 at No. 5 singles.
At. No. 7 singles, Stokes and Serena Bimbaum both went 3-1.
ESPAÑOLA — The Los Alamos girls' basketball team came out firing Friday in the District 2-5A championship game. The Española Valley Sundevils, however, were able to withstand Los Alamos' early onslaught to win the game, 73-63, and defend their district title.
Early on, however, Los Alamos' aggressive play had the 'Toppers out in front.
After trading the lead in the first quarter, Makaela Jones sunk a 3-pointer to put Los Alamos ahead, 7-6.
The Sundevils went back on top, but Kayla Salazar drained a 3-pointer to spark an 8-0 Los Alamos run and the 'Toppers took an 18-14 lead into the second quarter.
Los Alamos stayed in front most of the second quarter on the strength of four 3-pointers. Salazar, Ashlynn Trujillo and Jones made early 3's in the quarter. Trujillo then made a basket as she was falling to the ground after getting fouled. She missed the free throw, but Katya Skurikhin grabbed the offensive board and Ahsley Logan made a long-2 to put Los Alamos up eight, 31-23.
Española fought back to tie the game at 33, but Jones sunk her second 3-pointer of the quarter, and third of the half, just two seconds before the buzzer to give the 'Toppers a 36-33 halftime-lead.
After going 21-7 and finishing second in District 2-5A, the Los Alamos girls' basketball team was awarded the No. 5 seed for the Class 5A state tournament.
The 'Toppers will now host No. 12 Goddard (13-14) in the first round at 6 p.m. Friday.
The Rockets also finished second in their district, 4-5A, behind the No. 2 seed, Roswell (23-2).
The two teams haven't met this season, but they've played three of the same teams.
Española Valley, who beat Los Alamos by one point, two points and 10 points, also beat Goddard twice, 54-35 and 60-48.
Both teams beat Albuquerque Academy. Los Alamos beat the Chargers 47-33 and Goddard beat them 36-33.
Both teams also beat Artesia. Los Alamos beat the Bulldogs, 71-62, while Goddard beat them 56-27 and 52-30.
Katherine Kolker is the Rockets' leading scorer, averaging 10.7 points per game.
If Los Alamos beats Goddard, it will see a familiar face in the quarterfinals. They'd play the winner of the first-round game featuring two other District 2-5A teams. Española Valley (23-4) and Del Norte (13-13) will meet once again in the first round. The Sundevils got the No. 4 seed in the state tournament, behind No. 1 Gallup (25-0), No. 2 Roswell and No. 3 Los Lunas (21-7).
Los Alamos' run in the District 2-5A boys' basketball tournament came to an end Thursday at Española Valley.
The Sundevils took a big lead into halftime and eventually beat the 'Toppers, 77-56.
"Everybody was pretty disappointed with the way it ended last night," Los Alamos head coach Mike Kluk said. "We were expecting to play better."
Los Alamos was pretty even with Española in the first quarter, but then mistakes started snowballing for the 'Toppers in the second quarter.
"The second quarter killed us," Kluk said. "We started turning the ball over and Española got some transition buckets."
Once the 'Toppers fell behind, they tried to catch up too fast with some quick shots that actually fueled Española's run.
Española led by about 20 points at the break and never relinquished the lead.
"We calmed down a little at halftime and the second half was pretty even, but the damage was already done," Kluk said.
The loss will most likely end Los Alamos' season.
The state brackets will be released Sunday, but the 10-19 'Toppers will probably be on the wrong side of the bubble.
"It's going to be tough for us to be in that top-16." Kluk said.
The first two times the Los Alamos girls' basketball team beat Del Norte, the team's defense carried it past the Knights. Los Alamos limited Del Norte to 30 points and 33 points while the 'Toppers scored 45 and 46 to win those games.
Thursday in the District 2-5A semifinal game, Los Alamos' defense played strong again, and its offense also showed what it's capable of.
Los Alamos won the semifinal, 67-37, to advance to the championship game Friday at Española Valley.
The game was close at the beginning, but Los Alamos made good plays at both ends of the court to take an early lead.
Kayla Salazar swished a 3-pointer. Then Los Alamos' press forced a turnover that led to an Ashlynn Trujillo bucket.
Del Norte scored to get within one of Los Alamos, 5-4, but Makaela Jones blocked a shot on Del Norte's next possession to keep the 'Toppers in front.
Later in the first, with Los Alamos still up by one, Jones pulled down an offensive rebound and Salazar sunk her second 3-pointer of the quarter. Jones then made a pair of free throws to put Los Alamos up, 12-6.
Del Norte scored four points at the end of the quarter to go into the second only trailing 12-10.
The Los Alamos girls' basketball team blew by Del Norte, 67-37, Thursday night in the District 2-5A semifinals. During one stretch in the second and third quarters, Los Alamos outscored the Knights 31-4.
Ashlynn Trujillo and Kayla Salazar both scored 17 points to lead the 'Toppers.
The Hilltopper girls will now play at Española Valley in the district championship game. The championship will take place at 7 p.m. tonight (Feb. 26).
Boys eliminated
The Los Alamos boys' basketball team also played in the District 2-5A semifinals Thursday. After winning its first two games in the tournament, Los Alamos' run came to an end at Española Valley. The Sundevils beat Los Alamos, 77-56.
The state brackets will be released Sunday, but the loss will most likely end the Hilltopper boys season.
The Knights of Columbus District free throw contest was held Sunday at Los Alamos High School's Griffith Gymnasium.
The Los Alamos Sacred Heart council No. 3137 champions competed against three other northern New Mexico Knights of Columbus councils: Taos, Española, and Peñasco.
At the end of the competition, three local champions won their respective divisions and will be advancing to the state championships. The state competition will be held at Albuquerque's Manzano High School March 20.
Local ballers Mika Stanfield won the girls '10-year old division, Cody Rosson won the 11-year old boys' division and Antonio Gonzales was crowned champion in the boys' 14-year old bracket.
Two local competitors also finished as runner-ups: Lena Chavez took second place in the 11-year old girls' division and Lucario Chavez was the runner-up in the 13-year old boys' bracket.
Pajarito Mountain recently announced that the ski area will be open every day from March 2 - April 3, giving spring breakers from all over the opportunity to ride its slopes.
"We're trying to do this to take advantage of the numerous spring breaks around — they're spread out over the whole month," Pajarito General Manager Tom Long said. "It's an opportunity to provide more skiing."
Originally, Pajarito was going to be open daily for a couple weeks in the middle of March.
Los Alamos' spring break, however, is March 25-April 1. Albuquerque Public Schools' spring break is also in late March while lots of other spring breaks are earlier in the month.
"We'll see how it goes," Long said. "It's going to a great measuring stick."
One of Pajarito's future goals is to be open daily throughout the season.
On March 19, the mountain's biggest celebration will take place — Skiesta. The event will feature numerous competitions to determine this year's king and queen of the mountain. A beer garden and music by Felix y Los Gatos will coincide with the event.
On March 5, the Santa Few Brewing Company will also descend on Pajarito.
Last year, the Los Alamos baseball team made a strong run to reach the Class 5A state semifinals. Los Alamos lost a lot of those players, including two-time New Mexico Gatorade Player of the Year Jared Mang.
The 'Toppers, however, still have some studs in its lineup to lead them this year, including a pair of pitchers who have already committed to playing college ball.
Connor Mang, who has committed to playing for the University of New Mexico next year where he'll join his brother, Jared, and Lane Saunders, who signed with Eastern New Mexico's ball club, give Los Alamos a strong foundation to build upon and could keep the 'Toppers in every game.
"I think we have a great one-two punch," Los Alamos manager Mike Gill said. "That's obviously our strength that we'll build around."
The strong pitching will take some pressure off of Los Alamos' defense.
"We just have to be solid and make routine outs with that type of pitching," Gill said. "We don't have to make the great plays."
After Mang and Saunders, Jake Rutten is the team's No. 3 pitcher. A lot of other guys are listed as pitchers right now too.
"If we can add relievers who throw strikes, we'll be in good shape," Gill said.

Dr. Jennifer Shewmaker | Psychology
Associate Professor of Psychology
B.S., Abilene Christian University
Ph.D., Texas Woman's University
As a professor and a mom, Dr. Jennifer Shewmaker is alarmed with the effect sexualized messages in the media are having on modern adolescents. This concern and a passion for knowledge has prompted her to dig deeper into the "whys and hows" of these pervasive messages.
"When my oldest daughter was about 10, I started to notice these messages that she was getting about what made a girl important: her looks and ability to be in romantic relationships with boys," Shewmaker says. "Seriously, I was seeing this in children's products and marketing."
A dangerous message
Shewmaker believes the messages children receive from TV shows, advertisements and other forms of media are dangerous. For Shewmaker, the media is a powerful tool growing more powerful with each generation.
"Media is more pervasive and accessible than it has ever been in the lives of children, and it's imperative that we understand how the persistent depiction of rigid gender stereotypes and the sexualized objectification of females affect how children learn to see themselves and their place in the world," Shewmaker says.
Shewmaker began her research process about five years ago by diving into literature about the sexualized messages children are receiving. She had noticed a startling trend in marketing and shows designed specifically for children. From there, she began to study the link between media exposure and self esteem. She also considered factors like parental involvement and religiosity.
Research on adolescent perceptions
Her initial research indeed found a link between exposure to media and perceptions of one's self. She has now taken her research a step further examining adolescents' self-objectification, overall contentment with their lives and the role of gender stereotypes.
"I have a vision for my daughters, which is so much bigger than looking pretty and having boyfriends. I have a vision for the young women who I teach that is about so much more than being sexy. And yet, that is the primary message that girls and women get from sexualized media," she says. "I want them to have a bigger vision for themselves. I want that for all young girls. I look at all of the girls and women who I know and see how bright they are, how creative and brave and kind they are."
She is now working with a team of undergraduate and graduate researchers compiling the data she has collected. She next plans to conduct interviews with adolescents and get their perspectives on media. She has also organized a team to analyze the content of a popular children's program and search for recurring themes.
"My goal in conducting and sharing my research, and that of others, is to take the findings and make them accessible to other parents. I want to help parents and children learn to become more critical media consumers, and in the long run, media makers," she says. "I believe that media has the power to provide positive messages to children as well, and we need more media makers out there with that vision."

How to Design a Better Double Helix
Bio-IT World | The Double Helix by James D. Watson is not merely a magnificent scientific detective story
but one of the classics of 20th century literature. The book was originally published in 1968, six years
after Watson shared the Nobel Prize with Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins, and despite the objections
of many principals in the saga. Watson's gripping, painfully honest account of the quest to puzzle the
structure of DNA in the face of mass distractions. So how does one improve upon a classic? One doesn't try.
But inspired by the serendipitous discovery of the lost correspondence of Francis Crick a few years ago,
two veteran Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory faculty decided to produce an enhanced edition of the book, which
is published this week in conjunction with Simon & Schuster. On the eve of publication, Bio-IT World invited
the editors of the new book, Alex Gann and Jan Witkowski, to discuss the background to the project and
preview some of the treasures within. Read More

• Gastroenterostomy as part of the palliation of unresectable cancer of the head of the pancreas, in the absence of gastric outlet obstruction at the time of surgery, has been both rejected, and, more recently, advocated for all such patients. A study of 105 cases yielded four factors that correlated with the subsequent occurrence of gastric outlet obstruction: age, 60 years or younger; hemoglobin level, 11.5 g/dL or less; absence of liver metastases; and survival, three months or longer. A fifth factor, absence of clinical jaundice, may be an indicator of a poor prognosis with a small risk of obstruction. By combining factors, we identified a group with a risk of obstruction of at least 25% (those with two or more factors) and one with negligible risk.

Students and staff in the Harrisonville School District will soon be collecting food for the annual food drive.
This year's drive is once again being conducted in conjunction with the Harrisonville High School drama department's Trick or Treat so Tots Can Eat program.
Last year's drive raised over 7,300 pounds of food. The goal for this year is 10,000 pounds.
The drive will take place the week of Oct. 21-25 at all district buildings.
The week's theme centers on the Trick or Treat holiday with the focus on different parts of the meal for each day's donations. Monday is the Monster Main Dishes (tuna, pasta, beans), Tuesday focuses on Scary Sides (canned fruits and vegetables, rice, macaroni), Wednesday centers on Ghostly Goodies (cake/cookie mixes, sugar, flour, jello), Thursday is Creepy Kids Food (baby food, cereal, oatmeal), and Friday wraps up the drive with Eerie Extras (anything and everything, plus paper products).
Community members interested in participating may drop off donations at any district building during regular school hours.
Donations will also be collected as the admission fee at the Trunk-or-Treat on the Square on Sunday, Oct. 27 from 3-5 p.m.
All donations will be given to the Shepherd's Staff Food Pantry sponsored by the Harrisonville Ministerial Alliance.

Allow me to start the new year by saying that I hope that everyone had a happy and healthy Christmas and holiday season.
Speaking only for myself, I believe that this Christmas and New Year's was as good as any I can remember.
There were times that it felt like I was a little kid again, so excited about Christmas morning that I found it hard to sleep.
At one point I awoke with a great deal of excitement because Christmas morning had finally arrived, but when I looked at my clock I realized that it was only a few minutes after two and waking up my wife would have been a very bad choice.
I am not one to normally get wrapped up in all the hype of holiday seasons. I don't really like hearing Christmas music from the week before Halloween up until the actual day. I don't like hanging lights and holly. It's just not something I would do, but this year was different.
Now, I'm not a total Scrooge. When I was a kid, the days leading up to Christmas were almost unbearable. I was always the first one awake in my house and the little moments of Christmas were always something I looked very forward to.
I loved to decorate the tree and to hear "The Polar Express" each year, but as I got older and more jaded, I lost my appreciation and excitement for it all.
I guess I could say that like the little boy in "The Polar Express," I found myself one Christmas when I could no longer hear the bell.
Then something happened this year that relit that fire in me.
Having my son has helped me reconnect with that innocence of being young that I had lost. I know that he is only 10 months old and the pile of toys that Santa brought this year was wasted on the little boy who wanted to play with the boxes and eat the paper.
It was so much fun getting ready for Christmas this year, however. He sat outside with me while I strung out the outside lights and laughed every time I plugged them in to see if they worked. He stared at the Christmas tree as we decorated, making sure the plastic ones were on the bottom so he could pull them off if he wanted.
I sat and watched the Grinch for the first time in years and laughed almost as much as he did at the silly-looking monster trying to take away everyone's happiness.
It no longer felt like a burden but a real joy getting ready for the season because I could see the reason why we do all this in his eyes.
Going to bed on Christmas Eve, I had that pit in my stomach, an anxious, nervous feeling for the next morning. It was a feeling I had not felt in a very long time.
I did finally go back to sleep, since 2 a.m. is an ugly hour no matter who you are, and I awoke around 7 a.m. to experience my first Christmas morning as a dad. Like I said, he didn't care about the toys as much as the stuff it came in, but he was excited about it all.
I can't recall a better Christmas and as he grows up and begins to understand what it is all really about, I will get the chance to experience all those feelings and excitement all over again.
If I listen real close, I think I can hear that bell again.

For this year's Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE)—the highest honor the U.S. government bestows to outstanding scientists and engineers beginning their independent careers—President Barack Obama is honoring 102 accomplished early-career scientists from several different federal agencies, including 20 from the NIH.
According to the NIH, 17 of the 20 honorees are new investigators working at institutions around the nation; the other three hold positions in the NIH Intramural Programs.
PECASE was established in 1996 under President Clinton to honor scientists and engineers who are just getting started in their careers, but whose accomplishments so early on show great promise in assuring the nation's preeminence in science and engineering and also contribute to the awarding agencies' missions. Winners are selected for their innovative research and commitment to community service through scientific leadership, community outreach, or public education.
The NIH has funded 233 PECASE recipients since the award's establishment; they had 20 PECASE winners last year as well. Other departments who funded and/or employed many winners this year include the National Science Foundation with 19, the Department of Energy with 13, and the Department of Defense with 16.
"The impressive achievements of these early-stage scientists and engineers are promising indicators of even greater successes ahead," President Obama said in a statement. "We are grateful for their commitment to generating the scientific and technical advancements that will ensure America's global leadership for many years to come."
A complete list of this year's winners can be found here.

text: CLOSEOUT! Keep your guitar top protected during maintenance or repair with these .040"-thick Mylar® guards. They're strong enough to shield soundboard woods from falling clamps or lightweight tools; glue splashes too. "I've been waiting for these for a long time. Quick, safe, no matter what job you're doing." —Dan Erlewine, guitar repairman StewMac's R&D team designed two standard models, for acoustic guitars with Martin Dreadnought and post-1955 Gibson® J-45® shapes. The Repair Guard slides right into place—no need to remove the strings. Why do you want it? Protect against accidents! A quick slip of your bridge reamer or slotting saw, and you'll have a dinged finish to repair, or worse. Unlike a bare soundboard, the Repair Guard can take a bit of weight. A couple of tools resting on the guard can save you a long reach to your bench. For light duty work, you can clamp right on the guard without leaving a footprint in spruce like a caul might. You can scribe brace patterns on the guard for different guitars, a great help for locating brace locations for repairs. A Repair Guard can slide into place with the strings still on! TECH TIP In some cases, you may need to modify your guard—to fit an oversized bridge, for example. Use a medium file to change the shape, and a fine file to smooth the edges. Support the guard directly under the edge you're filing by hanging it off a clean flat table. To avoid fracturing the plastic, don't let it chatter up and down as you file.

Smash and grab robber hits humane society
Published 12:07 PM CDT Aug 21, 2013
Police are investigating a break-in and theft at the Dane County Humane Society.
A DCHS spokeswoman said a front window at the shelter was shattered. A donation box was carried outside and smashed, and the money taken.
The theft happened early Wednesday. DCHS said the shelter's security system helped prevent further loss, and donation boxes are routinely emptied, which minimized the monetary loss. No animals were harmed or taken.
"It's unfortunate that someone would want to steal from a humane society, especially when so many of our cash donations are from children's fundraisers," said Gayle Viney, DCHS spokeswoman.

Table: sales_sum ---------------- store_id // retail store identifier month // date rounded down to 1st of month prod_categ // primary product category repeat_cust // repeat customer flag: Y or N sales // dollar amount of salesThe first four columns make up the primary key. However, disk-space was a premium on the CD, so the primary key was eliminated, creating essentially a "bag". Individual indexes on the first 3 columns remain. Slower repeat-customer-related queries were noted, but deemed acceptable considering the tight space. An explicit primary key objectively takes up more disk space, almost as much as the table itself. This is a bit smelly. Purity is not free here. What would you have done if the catalogue was so large it wouldn't fit on the disk at all? What if there was only room for an index on one of the three columns? You've certainly shown a "need" for a bag in a situation that just happens to be delicately balanced between sufficient space for a relational implementation and not enough space for any implementation at all. That makes it the very epitome of contrived. Very, very dubious, Top.
// Example: "I-love-options" If (all tables of this query are sets) { load and run set-based optimizer; } else { // some are bags use hybrid processing; }Second, there's a lot more to app development than BigIron apps. There's lots of small- and medium-sized niches out there where machine performance is not the primary cost/resource factor, but rather software creation and maintenance effort. It doesn't make sense for these to adopt practices meant to cater to "the machine" over "the human" if "the human" is the most expensive resource. PickTheRightToolForTheJob. [Indeed. And, yet, you've offered no reason to believe that the bag-friendly approach is more suitable for these domains. But true RelationalModel promises to prevent duplicate-entry errors that might cause double-purchases and credit-card expenditures and such, and thus reduces maintenance and compensation issues. That promise seems helpful to me, as a human.]
// Example: "I-love-options" (internal to DB engine) If (all tables of this query are sets) { load and run set-based optimizer; } else { // some are bags use hybrid processing; }Yeah, I could provide that in the RelProject. What would a user gain from all that additional development effort on my part, including considerable thought to define hybrid optimisation strategies that are provably less performant than strictly using relations? Nothing. What would a user gain from learning the distinction between "duplicate-emitting" projections and "non duplicate-emitting" projections? Nothing. What would a user gain from having to learn not to make mistakes by choosing these incorrectly? Nothing. What would a user gain from avoiding all that complexity? Much. Users always benefit from not being subject to unecessary complexity. What does a user lose from having to use relations instead of bags? Nothing, but she might occasionally have to employ an extra keyword when exporting data in order to eliminate keys and retain duplicates. Top, you have presented no justification for representing data in the database using bags. If you have a good reason to represent data using bags -- as distinct from importing, exporting, or displaying it -- then you may be onto something. Otherwise, you have only defended what appears to be a marginal, infrequent need to import data containing duplicate records, or output (including displaying) data containing duplicate records. In the former case, detecting the need to add an auto-number key can be automatic. User effort: 0. In the latter case, excluding keys from the output (regardless of output mechanism) requires a keyword or two. User effort: negligible. Therefore: There is no reason to maintain data in the database using bags, even as an option, hence "hybrid processing" is pointless. I'll return to these questions later. But first, let's finish up addressing your performance claims, the main reason for that pseudo-code sample. -t See the example near the top of BagAtational, which identifies a significant optimisation transformation available to relations that is not available to bags. There are others. PageAnchor no_bags_in_this_one has NO BAGS. You are "solving" the wrong problem. -t Sorry, not following you here. Your pseudo-code is clearly selecting on bags vs sets. That's the point. Your lovely set-friendly optimization is still available if a given query has no bags in it. Determining such is not part of the tight inner loops of actual query execution, just one-time selection(s) up-front. So... Let me get this straight: You want me to implement an entire bag-oriented query optimiser or a hybrid bag+relation query optimiser, which will inevitably deliver poorer performance than the pure relational query optimiser, and require that users understand the performance and possible-inadvertent-duplication implications of using bags and learn a set of options to choose bags vs relations, all to avoid having to learn as little as one keyword to eliminate keys and preserve duplicates on those exceptional occasions when a client demands output stripped of unique IDs? That's what you're asking for, because you've certainly not shown any justification to represent data using bags within the database. --AnonymousDonor I see no reason why there has to be two sets of explicit operators in the query language. The other issues I will address later. -t There is a fundamental reason for having two sets of explicit operators in the query language. It's because they are completely distinct operations, more different than '+' and '-'. One is relational projection, a well-defined mathematical operator on a relation that returns a relation. The other is an option on an export/output statement that removes of specified columns in the emitted data. It isn't even an operator, really. They are as different as chalk and cheese. Fancy math under the hood is an implementation detail. That's like claiming the difference between addition and calculating a square root is an implementation detail. It's a fundamental conceptual distinction, and it's explicit, not "under the hood". -AnonymousDonor No, it's conceptually very similar, at least when looking at tables through "domain eyes". Even the few times I have made one of those alleged planet-ending "duplication errors", the results were almost indistinguishable from what "proper" key management would have returned. -t Yet, if you try to apply that "conceptual similarity" in a naive fashion, you quickly discover that a "projection" that returns duplicates cause errors when used with relational operators. In other words, a superficial and almost coincidental commonality, i.e., "pick some columns", disguises a more fundamental conceptual distinction. Claiming that they're "conceptually very similar" is as silly as claiming that '-' and '/' are "conceptually very similar" because both symbols use a single, straight line. Concepts are in the head. The computer doesn't otherwise care, it just follows rules. And it's not coincidental: there are certain similarities in many if not most data structure operations among different data structures. And "disguising" is sometimes a good thing; it's part of abstraction in fact: disguising complex things as simple things in order to give us a UsefulLie can simplify our work and grokkability. The key is finding the balance/threshold where there is too much abstraction. And your "strait line" analogy is poor. Try again. -t By the way, wouldn't life have been better if you couldn't have made duplication errors at all? Or can you simply not abide typing an extra keyword for those three or four times in an entire career that you have to emit duplicate records sans keys? Many if not most of them could be reduced by minor adjustments to SQL, such as UNION defaulting to meaning UNION ALL, with something like UNION UNIQUE for the other alternative. This would be more consistent with SELECT's "bag first" behavior. SQL has some stupid defaults. Whatever replaces SQL hopefully has smarter defaults (if bag-able). And I will live with occasional "purity errors" if it sufficiently simplifies common code. For me, errors caused by MISreading long-winded code are on the average greater than those caused by "purity" faults. I like purity too, but not at the expense of error-causing lack of expressiveness. It's all about weighing trade-offs. [SQL is really long-winded. That means, if I'm following TopMind's logic, that bags are bad. I hate it when impurity causes all this verbosity. Really, we should trade-off: more purity, for less verbosity. That's what Rel did.] No, it pushed conversion/interface issues to other tools and limited its ability to use existing RDBMS engines.
return linkNative(L) if uriIsLocalToRDBMS(L) else linkRemote(L);[There's your code. It is simple. No need for HandWaving about efficiency or reliability. No need for Oracle or MySQL to invent a new syntax for linking, or introduce extra options to the user, should they ever follow up on that (slim, but gratifying) possibility of implementing RelProject's variation of TutorialDee to ride DV's coattails. Well, they might change it anyway, for VendorLockIn, but they do not need to do so.] I've been working on this sort of thing for years, including developing conventional multi-database driven clients via ODBC/JDBC, heterogeneous database systems, ETL systems, database IDEs, and now support for linking external DBMSes within Rel. Two things based on that experience:
VAR myVarNative REAL RELATION {name CHAR, address CHAR} KEY {name}; VAR myVarExternal JDBC postgresqldb TABLE customers MAP {name CHAR(thename), address CHAR(addr)} KEY {name};A user can query either myVarNative or myVarExternal using TutorialDee syntax, for example:
myVarNative WHERE name = 'Dave'...or...
myVarExternal WHERE name = 'Dave'The former will perform the query using Rel's internal query processor, optimiser, and data storage and retrieval mechanisms. The latter will be translated by Rel into "SELECT DISTINCT * FROM customers WHERE thename = 'Dave'" and executed against the appropriate external DBMS. Therefore, the external DBMS's query processor, optimser, and data storage and retrieval mechanisms will be used. In both cases, the performance of the query will be dependent on the performance of the relevant query processor, optimiser, and data storage and retrieval mechanisms. In neither case does the existence and/or use of bags, relations (or the lack of either anywhere in any system) have any relevance at all, and all heterogeneous DBMS systems work this way. Rel is no different from any other heterogeneous database systems. From a client's point of view, the only difference between Rel and (say) Oracle is that Rel uses Rel's TutorialDee dialect and Oracle uses Oracle's SQL dialect. The issues generally start to show up during JOIN's, not single-table operations. Again, I'll provide more details some other day. Think about this: where is the primary processing of joins happening: on the client or server, and why. In the worst case -- e.g., "myrelvarx JOIN myrelvary" where myrelvarx and myrelvary reside in different databases and are of similar cardinality -- the entire tables must be retrieved from their respective databases and JOINed within the heterogeneous system. This is an issue common to all distributed heterogeneous database systems. It is certainly not unique to Rel or true relational systems and (again) has nothing to do with bags vs relations. This is now wandering off the topic of this page. Even if the two tables are on the same host, it still may have to retreive entire tables if you link instead of do it native. This would put a link-to-translate-bags language at a disadvantage to a native language if one or both is a bag-table. (Damn, you suckered me into this sub-debate.) If you're JOINing tables on different databases, whether on the same host or not, you may have to retrieve entire tables. If you're JOINing tables on the same database, you can always employ the native JOIN defined by that database's DBMS.

We loved the ship so much that we have decided to go on the sister ship next summer in the Med, the Liberty of the Seas. The shows were fantastic and our daughter who is only just 2 was mesmerised by them. We usually ate in Windjammer at breakfast and lunch, then the main dining room (Leonardo's) in the evening. We never felt a need to pay the supplement for the other restaurants. Also, even though our girl is very well behaved, I didn't think it would be fair to any other guests if she did decide to play up when they had paid extra. The food was always lovely in the main dining room, with nice choices. Our waiter, Christopher, was great and one night he did a magic trick that amazed us all. My husband went on the rock climbing wall and the Flowrider and loved it. That is one of the reasons we are going on the Liberty next year. We also went skating but we were both rubbish, but it's great that we got to have a go.
The cruise ports were Cococay, St Thomas and meant to be St Maarten too, but due to bad weather that was cancelled. We were disappointed with St Thomas as it was all jewellery shops. As I say St Maarten was cancelled, we were meant to dock at 7ish so when we got up at 9 we were surprised to still be sailing. I asked a member of staff that said that when they got to St Maarten the waves were to big to dock and would not be safe. The port taxes were put onto our on board account. Funnily we still heard people complaining to customer services, the staff have more patience than me.
All staff were courteous, helpful and friendly. They really helped make it a memorable trip. I chose this ship to help persuade my husband that cruising trips are the future for us, it certainly did the trick.

This past Friday, the Penguins celebrated for 2 minutes and 15 seconds between the same two points. A difference of 5 seconds. However, it took Crosby a total of 3 minutes and 35 seconds to join the line, a full minute and twenty seconds after his teammates started shaking hands.
And that is why the Red Wings are so ticked, because Sidney Crosby was 1 minute and 20 seconds late. Not because they lost the Stanley Cup, on home ice mind you, but because Crosby was 80 seconds late to take part in a ritual that has no set start time."
— M.P. Kelly [The Hockey Writers]
"After the game, when I start shaking their hands, I did not think,'Who is there and who is not there?' " Hossa said. "After, I think about it and I thought that I did not remember shaking hands with Sid. I'm sure he was caught in the emotion and did not know where he was. I know him. He wouldn't do it deliberately. He is a great guy. I think he was just excited and caught up in the emotion."
"I think he was just caught up in the moment," Lidstrom said, though he didn't sound as forgiving as Hossa. "It's something that's a big tradition in our game. We all know we should do it after a series. I think he just caught up in that moment.
"You're so happy and celebrating with your teammates, but you also realize that the team on the losing side probably wants to get off the ice and leave. You celebrate with teammates, shake hands, and celebrate with your teammates again.
"I have no idea (how long we waited). I know Drapes (Kris Draper) and I stood there for a little while. He was still celebrating. I was a little bit surprised when I shook everyone's hands, their players and coaches, and Sidney was caught up in the moment."
Lidstrom didn't know whether the topic would be discussed if the two cross paths later this week at the National Hockey League awards in Las Vegas. "He might mention it and talk about it," Lidstrom said. "We'll have to wait and see. He's going to learn from it, if it happens again.''

After seeing this pic its pretty evident which Butt most women want and what most Men would prefer. What does getting a Butt like this Take? WEIGHTS, Proper Nutrition , Cardio and Proper Lifestyle!!! I cannot tell you the endless amounts of females who contact us saying they want to get toned but not bulky, like they are scared if they lift weights they will become some huge bodybuilder. Let me explain in a bit more detail so you understand how everything works. Ok lets say a female does cardio only and restricts her calorie intake as many women do, yes she will lose scale weight but she will also lose muscle which means that first pic is going to be more of a body that would be obtained, We want a fit body not a skinny high bodyfat % unhealthy body. Not only does your metabolism drop when you lose muscle but its also much easier to gain all the weight back if you took this approach to losing weight
Pretty much every woman's goals are to get a lean and fit body as well as being healthy for her family. When trying to lose weight you need to focus on losing BODYFAT, Losing Inches and Monitoring how you are feeling. You need to be full of energy and the best version of you possible. The key is a mixture of Diet, Cardio and Weightlifting. I know many women out there feel uncomfortable doing the weights side of things or feel as if they are going to get bulky but I assure you that you wont unless you are eating a diet that is causing you to gain weight.
To put it in perspective I have worked out now for 14 years TRYING to build Muscle and becoming more bulky. An average year of building muscle for me is 6-8lbs per year; I am eating huge amounts of food up to 6000 calories and lifting very heavy weight, (Bench press over 350lbs, leg press over 1000lbs). The other key component is the fact that Women have 1/5th the amount of testosterone in their bodies so it's very difficult for you to BULKY if your cardio and diet are also right. A woman has a good year of muscle gain if she hits 3-5lbs!! Do not be scared of the weights Ladies, you need to lift weights to keep your body tight and strong. That girl in the 2nd pic, she is working out 5-6 days per week with weights. Squats and Lunges are your FRIEND!!!
Here is another image that shows the difference between 5 lbs of muscle and 5lbs of fat.. think of 30 lbs of fat gone off your body , you shrink and in its place you put 5 lbs of lean muscle. Not only are you smaller but your also fit!!
The benefits of a good strength training program
Less disease, happiness and most importantly, showing off your muscles at the beach.
Strength training should be part of everyone's routine. Even if you are low on time, strength training, according to the ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine), only needs to be done 2-3 times per week with each session lasting no more than one hour. For 2-3 hours per week, huge benefits can be realized.
Regular strength training will:
**help you in day to day activities around the house and in your yard. It will keep you independent which is especially important in the older population. Imagine not being able to lift a 5 pound bag of flour or take the garbage out by yourself.
**lower the risk of osteoporosis, hypertension and diabetes.
**help you avoid lower back pain.
**increase bone density which is important for post-menopausal women.
**increase muscle mass which burns more calories throughout the day than an equal amount of fat.
Even with all these benefits, many people are reluctant to start training with weights. Concerns include injury, incorrect form and for women; not wanting to grow muscles and look like a man.
If you are a beginner and have no idea what you are doing either start with the circuit type machines or take an aerobic class that involves weights so you can become acquainted with how to do the different exercises. Another great way of feeling more comfortable is bringing a friend to workout with you. If you are not 100% sure how to do a movement either asks for help of skip it until you figure it out, you want to put yourself out of any sort of injury risk. If you want to stick with the machines, know that they will give you the same benefits as free weights.
Sometimes when we think of being healthy, we think of eating and running. While these are important, strength training should never be left out. Strength training provides benefits to your health that cannot be found with any other mode of exercise and shouldn't be forgotten.
Next time you're at the gym head over to the weights side of things and try doing a circuit. 2-3 sets of each exercise 15 reps with a weight that is not too easy but also not so heavy you cannot accomplish the 15 reps.
