El Bosquejo, from New YorkAs the winners of Benetton's IT'S:MY:TIME global casting campaign meet for the first time in New York – people from different countries, backgrounds, and cultures – they begin to share their experiences and learn not just about their differences but also realize how similar they are with each other.
Sharing of stories may start with the most trivial of things, such as hair, accessories, and eyeglasses before talk arrives at studies, job experiences, and of course, ideals.
Amidst all the photographs, interviews, cocktails, and tours, strong bonds are formed.
Writing now from the actual shoot, I can say that the winners – and even the bloggers – share the experience as kindred spirits: as brothers and sisters that will have more experiences ahead of them.

Yes, I admire the clothes that my Korean friends bring back from their trips back home. 20 bras, LOL, that's Costco size!
- August 10, 2008 at 7:48 PM
OMG, yes, the plaid bag!!! You could fit a whole child in there! My mom would always come back with the plaid bag filled with a ton of underwear and nae-bok (long underwear). She was convinced that no one could make underwear (panties or nae-bok) better than Koreans. It wasn't until I went to college that I actually started wearing underwear sold in US stores.

My ex (Korean) claims that she has to buy Korean bras because American bras don't fit right on Korean bodies.

haha sooo true! my mom alwyas tells me to buy korean brands like samsung in order to support koreans lol

Your entire blog cracks me up, but this post was especially funny!
Last fall, I took a trip to Seoul with my Korean mother-in-law. (Quite brave when you consider I'm a white girl from the mid-west who knows exactly a dozen words in Korean and knew I'd be repeatedly told for the entire three weeks how fat I was...)
Anyway, I couldn't figure out why she bought (literally) 100 pair of underwear. She told me, because they are "better--made in Korea, cotton." Naturally, I was given the stink-eye when I mentioned they sell cotton underwear in the States.
Of course, that was just the tip of the iceberg. She ended up with four HUGE suitcases to bring back (which I had the pleasure of dragging through the airport for her...) Not to mention the fact that she used some of the space in my suitcases for her Korean-made goodies. :)

It's true that made in Korea is pretty good stuff! But my mom is obsessed with packing her bags full of undies and pj's and socks and stuff and even "asks" other passengers who aren't up to their limit to take her luggage as their own so she can manage to get 10 bags of Korean Cotton Crap to the US! I tell her everytime that the US also makes cotton underwear, but no, it must be made in the motherland...
Love always,
- October 10, 2008 at 2:54 AM
Your blog is hilarious! However, I have to agree with your mother that I find "made in Korea" products far superior in quality. Especially electronics they don't break easily and last forever. I still have at least 100 pairs of socks I brought 5 years ago. But I never brought undies/bras from Korea. I guess I love victoria's secret too much.

My mom threatened to go to farm in the mountains of Korea to be sure she would get pure Korean gochugaru because the stuff here is all from China and thus poisonous.

you can get italy towels on ebay, and they ship straight from korea! I just ordered a bunch of them!

My mom insists that I should eat 5 times a day. "Leh mee doo, you no do right!" She won't let me help her do something until I have to literally take it from her. For women, it seems like instinct to be perfect at house cleaning. Let her get into Mahjong on pogo-dot-com. Or New Rally X the classic arcade game---
- June 14, 2010 at 9:24 PM
Korean bra DO fit Korean boobies much better. I find American bras tend to be too wide in the cup area.
- August 29, 2010 at 8:26 AM
OMG My korean teacher did that to me. Every time I come to class she tells me that I'm pretty and then informs me what she likes about me (mostly clothes, make-up or my hair) which isn't what most Koreans tend to do. But last time she gave me a present, it was a 'special' cream out of Korea which makes your face shine, bright and healthy or so she says. She brought it especially from Korea, since the best facial products come from there.
She's married to a caucasian (or white guy as you prefer), has 2 adorable girls and lives in Belgium since 8 years, but while reading this blog I recognize so many things about her. She's a wonderfull person!

Those little touches
Special ceremony space
Raye's wedding was held at her family's country home in Milanville, PA. (They live in Brooklyn). The house is a converted barn and is nothing short of breathtaking. The Barn, as we call it, is a modern, open space that looks out onto the river valley. Sunflowers from the groom's mother's farm lined the beams, and guests stood along the side on hardwood floors (no shoes, please) as Raye walked down the makeshift aisle in her Sophia Kokosalaki dress and stood with her husband on a platform that made it look like they were floating among the trees. The bridesmaids wore black dresses of their own choosing and hand-dyed flower wreaths in their hair. It was a sight to behold. The reception was in a large tent nestled into the field across the road from The Barn. The dinner was from Early Bird Cookery, and the band provided swinging music to which guests danced into the night.
The vows
As participants/witnesses, the bride and groom wanted each guest to "sign-off" on the marriage, so they created an art piece and built a table in which it was encased. It was a slab of (near-cured) ultra cal (plaster) into which they dropped ink right after saying their vows. The ink signified their signatures. After the ceremony, everyone else came around The Barn and was asked to participate in the signing process on a larger piece. This entailed using droppers to drip many colored inks onto the plaster. (It was a hit with the kids, who added so much color that it started to blend into brown.)
The before and after
Although the wedding reception and ceremony are the main events, it really adds something special to provide things to do for your guests on the days before and after the wedding as many are traveling from distant places. The rehearsal dinner the night before Raye's wedding was held at The Cooperage in Honesdale, PA, with food provided and prepared by Ant Hill Farm Kitchen of Dyberry Township, PA. After the dinner, we all headed over to The Heron in Narrowsburg, NY for a night of fun. The day after the wedding, we gathered at The Barn for a brunch of pastries, fresh fruit and coffee, provided by Beach Lake Bread, and then we either headed down to the river at their property or drove the short distance to Skinners Falls for a lazy day in the sun.

Health Connect: A nightmareAugust 27,2014
I was, or perhaps I should say am, one of the 14,000 people who entered a change-of-coverage request to Vermont Health Connect. For me, the nightmare is somewhat over because as of Aug. 1, I was enrolled in Medicare. I turned 65 on Aug. 7.
My journey through the exchange was one of utter frustration from beginning to end. I kept a log of every conversation that I had, and I intend to send it to Gov. Peter Shumlin when I can find the time to draft such a letter. Let me share a couple of examples of my frustration: When I finally got through the enrollment process and received my card Jan. 7, I realized I was enrolled in the wrong plan. To this day, and several phone calls later, it has not been corrected. This has cost me approximately $1,000 more in copayments than I would have paid. Eight months is a long time to process a change.
On June 1, I was informed by VHC that as of Aug. 1 I would no longer need its services. Two phone calls later, I am still enrolled and receiving invoices for payments. I have been assured that no collection agent will knock on my door because of nonpayment.
It is my humble opinion that the level of incompetency prevalent in the VHC system is unprecedented. It was doomed to failure from the beginning because no one in VHC or the Shumlin administration could grasp the complexities of insuring such a large group of people in such a short period of time.
My sympathies to the other 13,999 people who are still caught in this quagmire.

The Swedish fashion industry has gone from strength to strength over the past six years, with doubled exports. Known for its character of understatement, it is now maturing, daring to build a stronger profile. The foundation is simple lines as a reflection of Swedish design on the whole – functional and clean.
It's said that Swedish fashion tends to showcase – rather than upstage – the wearer. That is, if you don't notice the details which make all the difference. Swedes want clothes that fit their lifestyle, daytime or evening – good-looking and cool, without being too conspicuous. This has proven to be a recipe for international success, as Swedish fashion is becoming renowned for its functionality, quality and price.
Strong profile or not, functionality is key. Denim brands especially, such as Acne, Cheap Monday, Nudie and Hope, have been huge hits internationally. Newcomers like The Local Firm, Dr Denim and Denim Demon have continued to highlight the wearability of jeans – nowadays a must-have part of any Swede's wardrobe. Well-made with clean lines and personal detailing, they have become the new "little black dress".
There are styles for every individual; fully on-trend or just classic, with a few prominent details.Many contemporary Swedish collections are built up around a simple base wardrobe with mandatory jeans, tops and durable pieces. In combination with a creative twist and style consciousness, they create a unique and exotic feel. At the same time, Swedish fashion incorporates elements from Swedish culture by injecting symbolism and material objects; sometimes bordering on historicism and folklore, as in the cases of Odd Molly, Nygårdsanna and Ewa i Walla.
Going beyond jeans, Swedish fashion design consists of clean styles, bold cuts, well considered designs, knitwear, perfect fits and casual wear.
Swedish fashion labels – an overview
At Fashion Week by Berns January 2010:
AcneAcne Jeans is a Swedish denim manufacturer and part of the Stockholm-based design firm "Ambition toCreate Novel Expressions" (ACNE). Acne is a Swedish group of companies founded in 1996 in Stockholm. Today, Acne consists of companies within advertising, the web, film (commercials, feature films and TV),fashion, magazines and children's toys. The denim offshoot was started in 1997 when Acne designed 100 pairs of jeans for distribution among friends, family and clients of the company. The products designed by Acne Jeans follow a minimalistic style, which also characterizes other Scandinavian fashions designers such as Filippa K. Today, Acne Jeans has more than ten stores in Scandinavia, Austria, France, Germany and the United States. In 2008/2009, Acne increased its turnover by 33% to MSEK 418 compared with the previousyear. www.acnestudios.com
Ann-Sofie BackBack's first collection under her own label was launched in 2002, but her interest in fashion dates back to her childhood. Then it was about the function of clothes – to be accepted and appear "normal". Today, the 2 London-based Back questions and challenges what is "normal": trousers with a hood, a shirt buttoned up wrong or upper class clichés taken to their extreme.http://www.annsofieback.com/blog/
Lovisa BurfittBURFITT was founded in 1998 by designer and illustrator Lovisa Burfitt. The BURFITT collection isdesigned by Lovisa Burfitt and includes jersey and woven pieces. All T-shirts are screen-printed by hand –with designs based on original illustrations by the designer – and sold in limited editions of 500 pieces. Each printed garment has a unique number on the neck label.http://www.burfitt.com/
Cheap MondayToday, Cheap Monday is a full-concept denim brand, though the first pair of denims with the characteristic skull logo only hit the market five years ago. That first pair, made of tight-fitting stretch denim, was originally made exclusively for the Weekday stores. The concept and design were a direct reaction to the increasingly expensive denim that flourished on the market at the time. It was an immediate success, and the collection, which now includes a wider denim range as well as tops, soon grew too big to be carried by the Weekday stores alone.www.weekday.se
Camilla NorrbackCamilla Norrback has been committed to creating ecologically sustainable garments while striving to maintain her artistic freedom as a designer, since 2002. The brand signature is luxurious materials with a high quality and feminine design with retro-romantic elements.www.camillanorrback.com

Today, Carin Wester's collection consists of a female line ("Carin Wester"), a male line ("Wester") and a limited handmade line ("W").

The company is run jointly by three sisters – all with prominent backgrounds in the Swedish and international fashion industry such as H&M. www.houseofdagmar.se
Dr DenimDr Denim was founded in 2004 by Alexander, Johannes and Mårten Graah on Sweden's laid-back West Coast. The Dr Denim brand represents a deep passion for jeans and a conviction that denim is a science based on in-depth knowledge of denim, washes, patterns and denim's history. The vision of the brand states joy as its fuel: "Joy – the joy of creating the coolest jeans."www.drdenimjeans.com/
Diana OrvingDiana Orving started her career as a designer in 2000 when she was just 15 years old and began selling her 3 designs in boutiques in Stockholm. Diana soon attracted attention for her ability to create garments with advanced cuts that were special yet easy to wear. Diana has no formal design training, but she has found her signature style in a design technique based on draping and an experimental approach to clothes and fashion. Diana emphasises the silhouette and works primarily with a toned-down range of colours, letting the different structures, lustre and translucency of the material create nuances. www.dianaorving.com
Eva i WallaInspiration from Swedish peasant romanticism, the 19th century and modern haute couture has created a unique Swedish designer label that has attracted much attention from across the world. For over 15 years, the company Ewa i Walla has created sensual, feminine clothes with layer upon layer, offering a personal touch and individual expression. The company has approx 250 retailers around the world. www.ewaiwalla.se/

The design stems from a masculine platform and inspiration is derived from classic men's wear and vintage uniforms. Innovative, traditional fabrics with subtle structures and patterns are sourced to achieve a unique and exclusive feel. The collections feature a limited number of garments and are designed with much attention and creative freedom to guarantee top-of-the-line quality and exquisite detailing. www.hope-sthlm.com/
Helena QuistHelena Quist has just finished her second year of the fashion design programme at the Swedish School of Textiles in Borås.

Whyred has now set out to turn the company into a leading European premium fashion brand. www.whyred.com
Other Swedish fashion labels worth noting:Björn BorgBjörn Borg ruled the game of tennis back in the 1970s and 1980s. He's also famous for being the first tennis star/celebrity to see his name appear on a range of men's underwear. His name is now also appearing on a range of men's and women's fashion characterised by quality with creative and innovative design based on the sporting legacy that the name Björn Borg represents. The underwear is the core business. http://www.bjornborg.com/en/
Denim DemonThe founders of Denim Demon share a cultural heritage with the indigenous Sami people of Swedish Lapland. Denim Demon jeans carry details inspired by traditional Sami artwork. Of particular interest is the Project Wear-Outs: "We gave seven pairs of jeans to seven different Samis. The aim was to give the denim trousers their own history and create authentic wear-outs.

Sandra BacklundSandra Backlund is Sweden's knitting artist extraordinaire. Backlund describes her design aesthetic as "a combination of science fiction and sheltered, warm pieces of fantasy." She enjoys exploring the human form through fashion: "Designers have always used things like corsets and shoulder pads to shape the body — I'm just doing it with wool. I consciously dress and undress parts of the body to seek dynamic shapes. I like the softness together with the sharp silhouettes." http://www.sandrabacklund.com/
TigerTiger of Sweden is an off-the-peg brand founded in Uddevalla in 1903.

Arabic, Kibwahili, and Wolof at Bluefield State College
CreatedThursday, July 22 2010
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
Elementary Arabic I, Intermediate Arabic I, Elementary Kiswahili I, and Elementary Wolof I will be offered for college credit in fall 2010 at Bluefield State College.
Arabic will be taught by Fulbright Language Teaching Assistant Fatima Mohammed Jumaah Al Asisi of Iraq; Kiswahili will be taught by Fulbright Language Teaching Assistant Kevin Wamalwa of Kenya; Wolof (West Africa's primary language) will be taught by Samba Camara of Senegal.
Fatima is an Assistant Instructor at the College of Education/Ibn Rushd in Baghdad; Kevin Wamalwa is a secondary school teacher in Kenya; and Samba Camara is a recent graduate of Dakar Teacher Training School. All three are looking forward to sharing their native languages and insights into their cultures with southern West Virginians and southwest Virginians.
Aspiring healthcare and social service workers, businesspersons, missionaries, teachers, engineers, computer scientists, politicians, journalists—all are well served when they learn languages spoken elsewhere in the world. They will also be better prepared for the new minor in international studies jointly developed and offered by Bluefield State College and Concord University.
Those who enroll in these language courses will discover they have access to over two hundred million Arabic speakers, from the northwestern part of Africa to the Middle East; to over fifty million Kiswahili speakers in various East African countries; and to over 6 million West African speakers of Wolof.
Learning a new language helps to unlock the world. Language learning opens doors to different countries' psyches, cultures, norms, histories, economics, politics, the peoples' relationship to their environment, the people themselves and their views of the rest of the world.
Bluefield State College has opted to participate in the US Department of State's Fulbright Language Teaching Assistants Program, which is administered by the New York-based Institute of International Education.
For further information about the Arabic and Kiswahili courses being offered by Bluefield State College, please contact BSC's Office of International Initiatives at 304-327-4036 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Eleven Straight Leads UMass Over Siena
from press release
AMHERST, Mass. - The No. 17 UMass women's
lacrosse team used an 11-goal run to start the first half before
cruising to a 19-6 win over Siena on Saturday at McGuirk Stadium in
its non-conference finale. Nine different Minuteowmen scored goals
in the game - eight of whom found the net in the opening run.
Defensively, the tandem of goalies Katie Florence and Rachel
Vallarelli split time allowing the second fewest goals of the
The Minutewomen improve to 9-1 to close out the non-conference schedule and will open up Atlantic 10 play next Friday at Richmond and next Sunday at George Washington. UMass is seeking its fourth straight Atlantic 10 Conference championship. Siena falls to 2-7 on the year.
UMass' Katie Ferris led all scorers with eight points on four goals and four assists. Cori Murray finished the game with a pair of goals and three assists, while Lauren Terracciano and Sam Rush each posted three goals and an assist.
Florence earned the win in goal making six saves in 25 minutes of work. Vallarelli played 35 minutes in cage making four stops including several on point blank attempts by Siena.
The Saints were led by Deidre McQuillan who scored three goals, while Shannon Pfohl, Katie Maguire, and Maggie Deloria each added one. Kristin Concordia took the loss in goal making 11 saves.
The quick first half run was paced by a strong showing on the draw control. UMass won 11-of-15 draws in the first half including 10 of the first 11. That translated into an 11-0 lead with 12:30 left in the first half with Ellie Bullitt capping the run thaks to a feed from Ferris.
Siena got on the scoreboard after Deloria converted a free position attempt and then added another with a transition goal from McQuillan at the 2:55 mark of the half to make it 11-2.
UMass made it 12-2 after Bullitt collected a groundball on a blocked shot and then found Murray who threaded a pass to Rush for the goal. A pair of UMass shots with under a minute to go went wide but Siena was unable to capitalize after clearing the ball as the half came to a close.
The Minutewomen scored four of the first five goals to start the second half going up 16-3 after Ferris scored her team-best 32nd goal of the year at the 18:25 mark.
Murray added her second goal of the day on a free position attempt 12 minutes later to give UMass its largest lead of the game 19-4. McQuillan and Maguire closed out the games scoring with goals in the final 6:28 of action to give the 19-6 score.
For the game, UMass outshot Siena 38-to-21 including 25-to-9 in the first half. UMass also controlled the draw circle winning 18-of-26 and used a strong ride to disrupt the Saints transition game allowing Siena to clear the ball just 10 of 18 times.

Some great info in this article. Pretty much stuff we already know.
Some great info in this article. Pretty much stuff we already know.
Foye might be seeping into Roger territory-
Heres where Foye has been different when hes on the court, Utah scores 104.4 points per 100 possessions and allows 110.1 points per 100 possessions, for a -5.7 net. When hes off the floor, those numbers flip Utah scores 111.8 points/100 and allow 102.5 points/100, for a +9.3 net. Combine the two and Foye is costing Utah FIFTEEN POINTS per 100 possessions just by stepping on the court. Thats the difference between being the Heat and being the Bobcats.
EDIT- AND MORE! Good article OP, rep your way a comin
This is also funny
Sit Foye and play Hayward instead? +29.0 per 100 possessions. Yes, you read that correctly. A 50-point swing with one substitution.
David Locke on Corbin playing Foye over Burks: "We don't know that Burks will ever be better than Foye"
Ha. Hahahaha.
David Locke's quote is pathetic. I hope he meant We don't know if Burks will ever be better than Foye at shooting the three. Because that's all he's got.
he didn't. locke is IN LOVE with randy foye the human/upstanding citizen and generally drops his charity work into any discussion relating his worth to the ballclub.
ps. hi jazzfanz. been lurking a while.
The stats show what we all see. Miraculous.All of the top-five most-used lineups for Utah this year sport a negative +/-. Through December 23, Utah had played 1407 minutes this season, and those five lineups account for 575 of them. That's over 40% of Utah's total minutes being played by lineups that can be described anywhere from "barely treading water" to "unmitigated catastrophe
Burks +/- rocks, eh?
Also nice to see that our best +/- line-up consists of:
Tinsley (Better distributor over Mo)
Hayward (Better than Foye)
Marvin (Good SF fit)
Favors (Perfect compliment to Al)
Jefferson (Perfect compliment to Favors)
That is the type of line-up we should be striving for moving forward.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Jazz have jumped the shark, and NBA has nuked the fridge.
Another interesting part:
If you want factor offensive and defensive rebounding together, Utah rebounds 55.4 percent of all misses without Foye on the floor, and 46.8 percent of misses with him on the floor. You can probably guess the disparity here, but 55.4 percent would be the best in the league, and 46.8 percent would be the worst in the league.
I don't think Randy is entering Roger territory, because I do feel he's been important to us at times this year and he is our best 3-point shooter. Just bring him in for 10-15 minutes a night, gun a few threes, and call it a game.
Locke is such a clownshoes analyst. Not only does he trumpet his own Locke Offensive Rating which absolutely nobody besides himself even looks at, but he just went an entire broadcast "analyzing" the Jazz offensive shortcomings without even once suggesting the problem might be Ty.
Different lineups are not going to solve this mess. We have one of the worst half court offenses in the entire league and a coach who is in way over his head.
Also loved Locke bemoaning the "loss' of Mo Williams. Prior to GS, the Jazz were 5-1 without Mo (if you include an 8 minute game in which he thankfully got injured). 5-1 in only a 30 game sample is relatively significant. Jazz averaged 100 points in those 6 games.
About UsWe are a community of Utah JazzFanz that are passionate about our team. We celebrate the highs that come with last second heroics and (some of us) cry in defeat. Welcome to our community. Be respectful of others and join in to the conversation...

Editor's note: Paul DuBois has selected sample recipes from the hundreds you'll find in his book, MySQL Cookbook. In this first in a three-part series showcasing these sample recipes, find out how to interpret results from summaries and
NULL values (excerpted from Chapter 7, "Generating Summaries") and how to identify duplicates in a table or record (excerpted from Chapter 14, "Handling Duplicates").
You're summarizing a set of values that may include
NULL values and you need to know how to interpret the results.
Understand how aggregate functions handle
NULL values.
Most aggregate functions ignore
NULL values. Suppose you have a table
expt that records experimental results for subjects who are to be given four tests each and that lists the test score as
NULL for those tests that have not yet been administered:
mysql> SELECT subject, test, score FROM expt ORDER BY subject, test;
| subject | test | score |
| Jane | A | 47 |
| Jane | B | 50 |
| Jane | C | NULL |
| Jane | D | NULL |
| Marvin | A | 52 |
| Marvin | B | 45 |
| Marvin | C | 53 |
| Marvin | D | NULL |
By using a
BY clause to arrange the rows by subject name, the number of tests taken by each subject, as well as the total, average, lowest, and highest score can be calculated like this,
mysql> SELECT subject,
-> COUNT(score) AS n,
-> SUM(score) AS total,
-> AVG(score) AS average,
-> MIN(score) AS lowest,
-> MAX(score) AS highest
-> FROM expt GROUP BY subject;
| subject | n | total | average | lowest | highest |
| Jane | 2 | 97 | 48.5000 | 47 | 50 |
| Marvin | 3 | 150 | 50.0000 | 45 | 53 |
You can see from results in the column labeled
n (number of tests) that the query counts only five values. Why? Because the values in that column correspond to the number of non-
NULL test scores for each subject. The other summary columns display results that are calculated only from the non-
NULL scores as well.
It makes a lot of sense for aggregate functions to ignore
NULL values. If they followed the usual SQL arithmetic rules, adding
NULL to any other value would produce a
NULL result. That would make aggregate functions really difficult to use because you'd have to filter out
NULL values yourself every time you performed a summary to avoid getting a
NULL result. Ugh. By ignoring
NULL values, aggregate functions become a lot more convenient.
However, be aware that even though aggregate functions may ignore
NULL values, some of them can still produce
NULL as a result. This happens if there's nothing to summarize. The following query is the same as the previous one, with one small difference. It selects only
NULL test scores, so there's nothing for the aggregate functions to operate on:
mysql> SELECT subject,
-> COUNT(score) AS n,
-> SUM(score) AS total,
-> AVG(score) AS average,
-> MIN(score) AS lowest,
-> MAX(score) AS highest
-> FROM expt WHERE score IS NULL GROUP BY subject;
| subject | n | total | average | lowest | highest |
| Jane | 0 | 0 | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| Marvin | 0 | 0 | NULL | NULL | NULL |
Even under these circumstances, the summary functions still return the most sensible value. The number of scores and total score per subject each are zero and are reported that way.
AVG( ), on the other hand, returns
NULL. An average is a ratio, calculated as a sum of values divided by the number of values. When there aren't any values to summarize, the ratio is
0/0, which is undefined.
NULL is therefore the most reasonable result for
AVG( ) to return. Similarly,
MIN( ) and
MAX( ) have nothing to work with, so they return
NULL. If you don't want these functions to produce
NULL in the query output, use
IFNULL( ) to map their results appropriately:
mysql> SELECT subject,
-> COUNT(score) AS n,
-> SUM(score) AS total,
-> IFNULL(AVG(score),0) AS average,
-> IFNULL(MIN(score),'Unknown') AS lowest,
-> IFNULL(MAX(score),'Unknown') AS highest
-> FROM expt WHERE score IS NULL GROUP BY subject;
| subject | n | total | average | lowest | highest |
| Jane | 0 | 0 | 0 | Unknown | Unknown |
| Marvin | 0 | 0 | 0 | Unknown | Unknown |
COUNT( ) is somewhat different with regard to
NULL values than the other aggregate functions. Like other aggregate functions,
) counts only non-
NULL values, but
COUNT(*) counts rows, regardless of their content. You can see the difference between the forms of
COUNT( ) like this:
mysql> SELECT COUNT(*), COUNT(score) FROM expt;
| COUNT(*) | COUNT(score) |
| 8 | 5 |
This tells us that there are eight rows in the
expt table but that only five of them have the
score value filled in. The different forms of
COUNT( ) can be very useful for counting missing values; just take the difference:
mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) - COUNT(score) AS missing FROM expt;
| missing |
| 3 |
Missing and non-missing counts can be determined for subgroups as well. The following query does so for each subject. This provides a quick way to assess the extent to which the experiment has been completed:
mysql> SELECT subject,
-> COUNT(*) AS total,
-> COUNT(score) AS 'non-missing',
-> COUNT(*) - COUNT(score) AS missing
-> FROM expt GROUP BY subject;
| subject | total | non-missing | missing |
| Jane | 4 | 2 | 2 |
| Marvin | 4 | 3 | 1 |
You want to find out if a table contains duplicates, and to what extent they occur. Or you want to see the records that contain the duplicated values.
Use a counting summary that looks for and displays duplicated values. To see the records in which the duplicated values occur, join the summary to the original table to display the matching records.
Suppose that your Web site includes a sign-up page that allows visitors to add themselves to your mailing list to receive periodic product catalog mailings. But you forgot to include a unique index in the table when you created it, and now you suspect that some people are signed up multiple times. Perhaps they forgot they were already on the list, or perhaps people added friends to the list who were already signed up. Either way, the result of the duplicate records is that you mail out duplicate catalogs. This is an additional expense to you, and it annoys the recipients. This section discusses how to find out if duplicates are present in a table, how prevalent they are, and how to display the duplicated records. (For tables that do contain duplicates, "Eliminating Duplicates from a Table" describes how to eliminate them.)
To determine whether or not duplicates occur in a table, use a counting summary, a topic covered in Chapter 7. Summary techniques can be applied to identifying and counting duplicates by grouping records with
BY and counting the rows in each group using
COUNT( ). For the examples, assume that catalog recipients are listed in a table named
cat_mailing that has the following contents:
mysql> SELECT * FROM cat_mailing;
| last_name | first_name | street |
| Isaacson | Jim | 515 Fordam St., Apt. 917 |
| Baxter | Wallace | 57 3rd Ave. |
| McTavish | Taylor | 432 River Run |
| Pinter | Marlene | 9 Sunset Trail |
| BAXTER | WALLACE | 57 3rd Ave. |
| Brown | Bartholomew | 432 River Run |
| Pinter | Marlene | 9 Sunset Trail |
| Baxter | Wallace | 57 3rd Ave., Apt 102 |
Suppose you want to define "duplicate"; using the
last_name and
first_name columns. That is, recipients with the same name are assumed to be the same person. (This is a simplification, of course.) The following queries are typical of those used to characterize the table and to assess the existence and extent of duplicate values:
mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) AS rows FROM cat_mailing;
| rows |
| 8 |
mysql> SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT last_name, first_name) AS 'distinct names'
-> FROM cat_mailing;
| distinct names |
| 5 |
mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) - COUNT(DISTINCT last_name, first_name)
-> AS 'duplicate names'
-> FROM cat_mailing;
| duplicate names |
| 3 |
mysql> SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT last_name, first_name) / COUNT(*)
-> AS 'unique',
-> 1 - (COUNT(DISTINCT last_name, first_name) / COUNT(*))
-> AS 'non-unique'
-> FROM cat_mailing;
| unique | non-unique |
| 0.62 | 0.38 |
These queries help you characterize the extent of duplicates, but don't show you which values are duplicated. To see which names are duplicated in the
cat_mailing table, use a summary query that displays the non-unique values along with the counts:
mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) AS repetitions, last_name, first_name
-> FROM cat_mailing
-> GROUP BY last_name, first_name
-> HAVING repetitions > 1;
| repetitions | last_name | first_name |
| 3 | Baxter | Wallace |
| 2 | Pinter | Marlene |
The query includes a
HAVING clause that restricts the output to include only those names that occur more than once. (If you omit the clause, the summary lists unique names as well, which is useless when you're interested only in duplicates.) In general, to identify sets of values that are duplicated, do the following:
Determine which columns contain the values that may be duplicated.
List those columns in the column selection list, along with
List the columns in the
GROUP BY clause as well.
Add a
HAVING clause that eliminates unique values by requiring group counts to be greater than one.
Queries constructed this way have the following form:
SELECT COUNT(*), column_list
FROM tbl_name
GROUP BY column_list
It's easy to generate duplicate-finding queries like that within a program, given a table name and a nonempty set of column names. For example, here is a Perl function,
make_dup_count_query( ), that generates the proper query for finding and counting duplicated values in the specified columns:
sub make_dup_count_query
my ($tbl_name, @col_name) = @_;
return (
"SELECT COUNT(*)," . join (",", @col_name)
. "\nFROM $tbl_name"
. "\nGROUP BY " . join (",", @col_name)
. "\nHAVING COUNT(*) > 1"
make_dup_count_query( ) returns the query as a string. If you invoke it like this:
$str = make_dup_count_query ("cat_mailing", "last_name", "first_name");
The resulting value of
$str is:
SELECT COUNT(*),last_name,first_name
FROM cat_mailing

Cooking with MySQL
What you do with the query string is up to you. You can execute it from within the script that creates it, pass it to another program, or write it to a file for execution later. The dups directory of the
recipes distribution contains a script named dup_count.pl that you can use to try out the function (as well as some translations into other languages). Later in this chapter, "Eliminating Duplicates from a Table" uses the
make_dup_count_query( ) function to implement a duplicate-removal technique.
Summary techniques are useful for assessing the existence of duplicates, how often they occur, and displaying which values are duplicated. But a summary in itself cannot display the entire content of the records that contain the duplicate values. (For example, the summaries shown thus far display counts of duplicated names in the
cat_mailing table or the names themselves, but don't show the addresses associated with those names.) To see the original records containing the duplicate names, join the summary information to the table from which it's generated. The following example shows how to do this to display the
cat_mailing records that contain duplicated names. The summary is written to a temporary table, which then is joined to the
cat_mailing table to produce the records that match those names:
mysql> CREATE TABLE tmp
-> SELECT COUNT(*) AS count, last_name, first_name
-> FROM cat_mailing GROUP BY last_name, first_name HAVING count > 1;
mysql> SELECT cat_mailing.*
-> FROM tmp, cat_mailing
-> WHERE tmp.last_name = cat_mailing.last_name
-> AND tmp.first_name = cat_mailing.first_name
-> ORDER BY last_name, first_name;
| last_name | first_name | street |
| Baxter | Wallace | 57 3rd Ave. |
| BAXTER | WALLACE | 57 3rd Ave. |
| Baxter | Wallace | 57 3rd Ave., Apt 102 |

Duplicate Identification and String Case Sensitivity
Non-binary strings that differ in lettercase are considered the same for comparison purposes. To consider them as distinct, use the
Check back in two weeks for the next sampling from MySQL Cookbook. Recipes will cover managing multiple simultaneous
AUTO_INCREMENT values and using

History of the Peace Corps in Dominican Republic
|History of the Peace Corps
|Since 1960, when then Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries, more than 182,000 Peace Corps Volunteers have served in 138 countries all over the globe.
See also:
Since 1962, more than 4,200 Volunteers have served in the Dominican Republic. These Volunteers have contributed to technical skills transfer and institutional capacity-building in a wide range of fields, including agriculture, urban and rural community development, forestry, conservation, environmental education, community health and child survival, nursing, small business development, fisheries, water and sanitation, teacher education, university education, youth development, and information technology.
Over the years, Peace Corps Volunteers have contributed significantly to the establishment and development of many of the country's leading nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and have worked hand-in-hand with the various administrations that have governed the Dominican Republic. In keeping with its commitment to peace and development, the Peace Corps remained in the Dominican Republic throughout its civil war in the 1960s. Our commitment to service has been highlighted through the good work of Volunteers and their project partners in the recovery efforts following two of the severest hurricanes (David in 1979 and George in 1998).
History and Future of Peace Corps Programming in the Dominican Republic
Peace Corps/Dominican Republic provides direct, community-based technical assistance. Volunteers work in marginalized sectors of the population to promote self-help strategies that respond to basic human needs and strengthen community efforts. Currently, the approximately 150 Volunteers in the Dominican Republic strive to increase local capacity for problem solving and to form links with grassroots, regional, and national organizations.
While Volunteers work primarily in community economic development, education, the environment, youth development, and health, the Peace Corps' program has evolved with the country's changing needs. Innovations include the development of an "information technology for education" project; a multisector approach to programming; and the incorporation of HIV/AIDS prevention, gender and development, and youth service-learning across all projects.
Peace Corps/Dominican Republic has eight projects within the sectors of education, natural resources, health, and community economic development.
Special Education In this project, Volunteers work in schools with children and the parents of children with special needs and learning disabilities. Volunteers create awareness among teachers and the community about the needs of these students, promote awareness of the importance of an adequate education for all students, and train teachers in techniques to identify special-needs students and methodologies to provide them with a high-quality education.
Information Technology for Education This project helps provide teacher training for the more than 300 computer centers established in public high schools around the country. Volunteers train teachers in the use of computers, focusing on how they can improve the quality of education in the classroom. Volunteers also create technology youth groups and help schools develop ways for the community to access information technology facilities. Many Volunteers are assigned to communities near the border with Haiti, some of the most impoverished areas of the country.
Agroforestry This project aims to reverse the process of soil erosion and environmental degradation. Volunteers work with low-income rural farmers, participate in reforestation activities, and introduce appropriate agroforestry and soil conservation techniques. Agroforestry Volunteers also help Dominican organizations improve their capabilities to train small farmers in appropriate soil conservation and agroforestry practices, including seedling and fruit tree production, multiple-use tree plots, live and dead barriers, contour planting, and alley cropping.
Environmental Awareness Education This project creates awareness among Dominicans for proper human interaction with the environment, such as appropriate waste disposal, prevention of water contamination and deforestation, soil conservation, watershed protection, protection of marine resources, appropriate energy use, preservation of air quality, noise and safety procedures, and demographic effects on the environment. To accomplish this, Volunteers help the Ministry of Education develop and implement education modules that train teachers how to incorporate environmental concepts into their curricula. They also provide training and technical support to community leaders to develop and implement projects that incorporate sound environmental practices and promote environmental protection.
Healthy Families The Healthy Families project aims to reduce the risk of infant mortality in low-income families living in rural and marginal urban communities. Volunteers are assigned to the Ministry of Public Health or one of several private voluntary organizations. They help health supervisors improve and sustain basic health practices and services. The project focuses on the key causes of infant mortality: diarrhea, respiratory infections, and malnutrition. Some Volunteers also help health workers promote reproductive health and HIV/ AIDS prevention among adolescents and young mothers.
Environmental Sanitation Volunteers seek to reduce various endemic diseases by increasing access to potable water and improved waste disposal and sanitary facilities. Volunteers train community members to operate and maintain their water and sanitation systems and help private voluntary organizations improve their capacity to plan, implement, and evaluate environmental sanitation projects. Like the Healthy Families project, this project focuses on low-income families living in rural and marginal urban communities.
Community Economic Development Volunteers take a broad approach to fostering economic development opportunities and community capacity-building among the neediest sectors of the population. They work with farmer associations and rural community groups to develop income-generating projects in agribusiness, organize integrated community development projects, and work with NGOs to provide business education to microentrepreneurs. Many Volunteers also provide business and leadership education to Dominican youth, using a curriculum similar to Junior Achievement's.
Youth, Families, and Community Development Based on the strong interest of Volunteers and a need identified by Dominican partner agencies, the Peace Corps began a formal youth, families, and community development project in 2002 to complement and support its other projects. While many existing projects already involve youth in their efforts, this project's programs intentionally target at-risk youth in urban areas and strengthen youth groups in semi-urban and rural areas.
To maximize resources and promote a more holistic approach to development, Peace Corps/Dominican Republic encourages multisector programming. Ideally, Volunteers from different technical project areas combine and leverage their skills to develop solutions for the challenges faced by the communities in which they work. Additionally, due to the rising incidence of HIV/AIDS on the island, most Volunteers incorporate HIV/ AIDS education and prevention in the work they do.

brother and sister in law having trouble concieving
Dear guys,
For two years, my brother and his wife have been trying to concieve. theyve gotten pregnant six times and had four miscarriages and two still births. do you have any ideas on how to help them concieve? my sister in law is taking fertitily pills now trying to concieve. they both are perfextly healthy in their mid twenties.
July 12th, 2013 09:12 PM #3
What "fertility pills" is she taking? No offence, but I think you'd have better luck consulting an experienced medical professional rather than a random bunch of people on a baby naming website.

That is very sweet of you to ask for them, but they need to get it on their own. I don't see why she would need fertility pills...it sounds like she conceived fine on her own before. There is probably a lot that you don't know about their situation. She could try alternative medicine, like acupuncture... I have personally had miscarriages myself and don't know why, so I am sorry, but I am not much help. I am not sure anyone here will be able to help you.

April 14, 2009: In our violent, discordant, and effervescent universe, reality always seems to be stranger than fiction. Case in point: there is a galaxy 54 million light-years away that is shooting out a 5,000-light-year-long, narrow beam of radiation and plasma that is as opulent as a Star Wars light saber and as destructive as the film's Death Star. This extragalactic jet is being fueled and ejected from the vicinity of a monster black hole that is 3 billion times the mass of our Sun. The disk around a rapidly spinning black hole has magnetic field lines that entrap ionized gas falling toward the black hole. These particles, along with radiation, flow rapidly away from the black hole along the magnetic field lines. The rotational energy of the spinning accretion disk adds momentum to the outflowing jet.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has been used to keep an eye on these million-degree fireworks for more than a decade. Hubble has caught the jet flickering. In particular, a glowing knot in the outflowing stream has gotten as bright as the galaxy's star-crowded nucleus, only to dim and then brighten again. Astronomers don't know why the black-hole torch is fluctuating, but it may be similar to the physics that causes flares to explode on the Sun. Plasma trapped in the Sun's magnetic field gets pinched and heated as the lines collapse and put the squeeze on it. Or, more simply, the jet may be plowing into an unseen clump of interstellar matter -- at more than half the speed of light!See the rest:

Sunday: Airbrake Contract Extended
One day after unionized workers rejected a contract proposal, New York Airbrake management agreed to extend the current contract by two weeks.
Airbrake president Michael Hawthorne told 7 News Sunday that he anticipates more negotiations between the company and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers will take place Tuesday.
Hawthorne met with his negotiating team Sunday.
The current contract expires at midnight.
Our report from Saturday...
Unionized workers at New York Airbrake 'overwhelmingly' rejected the company's contract proposal during an all day meeting Saturday, according to a union official.
Workers also authorized a strike, but plan to keep working as long as negotiations are going on, said John Carr of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.
Carr said the union hopes to negotiate with the company again on Tuesday.
Michael Hawthorne, president of New York Airbrake, told 7 News Saturday night that his negotiating team will meet Sunday to consider the company's next move.
The union's contract with Airbrake expires Monday. The union represents 151 workers at Airbrake.
As described by union officials Friday, the company's contract offer would cut pay for unionized workers, who make an average of $20.88 an hour. The cut could run as high as $4.15 an hour, a union official said, and the contract also hurt the workers' pension plan and gave the company the right to use more non-union labor.
That contract offer was rejected by union members who packed the North Pole fire hall just outside of Watertown all day Saturday. 7 News reporter Matt McClusky, who spent the day outside the meeting, said workers leaving the meeting Saturday night would not answer questions.
The contract dispute comes as Airbrake prepares to add as many as 50 jobs in Watertown, the result of closing the company's plant in Kingston, Ontario.
While announcing the job shift in February, Hawthorne noted the company is facing global competition and is under pressure to reduce costs.

Baby it's cold outside
Man, is it ever! Hard to believe that I'm still making the adjustment from "temporary snowbird" to the casual (?) pace of my own version of "life in the fast lane" but there you have it. I hit the ground running having made the transition... and a little cold snap surely can't stand in my way.
And yet, the predictions are dire. Snow mixed with rain mixed with ice mixed with a little Jose Cuervo... well, just have to see how that goes. Après the deluge, I trot out the snow shoes and party like it's 1999. Apparently, I am not alone, since a phenomenal crowd showed up at Benji & Jakes Brick Oven Pizza on Kauneonga Lake, NY over the weekend to celebrate...well, just to celebrate.
Sponsored by The Gays of Sullivan County (dot com) and hosted by the aforementioned Benji (and Jake), the upstairs salon swelled to capacity as the afternoon unfolded with music and merriment, par usual.
This group certainly knows how to throw a party and since, as always, there is something (or someone) for all, it is surprising that I don't see even more familiar faces (come out, come out, wherever you are!). Personally, I had a great time, holding court and being the bon vivant that is expected of me. Making new friends is always welcome, and I made haste to do so, along with meeting up with neighbors (don't ask- don't tell) and old pals.
"Damn, I look good," I thought to myself as I glanced in the mirror (for something completely different) knowing full well that I needed to pace myself. The Glamour & Glitz Dance-A-Thon at the Catskill Arts Society (CAS, www.catskillartssociety.org) in Livingston Manor, NY was calling to me as I sashayed through the throng, so I posed for a few pictures and moved on.
CAS had spent countless hours organizing their Glamour & Glitz vintage clothing and jewelry sale, and while I missed out on that (my spies tell me it was a huge success), I wasn't about to bow out on dressing and dancing, so off I went. Before hitting the dance floor, I perused what was left on the racks, dejected that my size (diminutive) is rarely on hand. My gal pal managed to find several items, however, and happily added to the coffers to support this (IMHO) ultra-worthy organization.
DJ Nick Forte was busily managing lights and sound as the dizzying array showered revelers in a colorful pastiche of the proper mix of glamour and glitz. I would have preferred to see more people on the dance floor itself, but we were there, so it was a party. I did spy some regulars: "Trailer Talk" hostess Sabrina Artel (www.trailertalk.com) off in a corner chatting with local legend Laylage Courie ( www.luminouswork.org ) who either was unsure who I was ( doesn't seem possible!) or was simply ignoring me, but they both looked smashing.
I'm still celebrating "Manuary" so I have not shaved in almost a month. I'm going to assume that is why Ms. Courie eschewed engaging me in conversation, but CAS curator Kathryn Tufano had no trouble recognizing me. As the gallery gears up for the 2012 season (talk about dire predictions!) I ponder submitting some ideas for a show. They are currently accepting applications for next year, with an exhibition proposal deadline of February 1—so I had better get my groove on.
With Jack Frost nipping at our respective noses, we warmed up the vehicle and struck out in search of more adventure, winding up at River Edge for their open mic night (see page 11), before hitting the Nugget in Monticello for a nightcap.
All in all, it was a great weekend, weather notwithstanding, and even more proof that there is always something to do in them thar hills... and a gentle, constant reminder that home is where the heart is. From what I understand, there is more wind and ice on its way, so I will bundle up (looking good), and continue on my merry way.
Ice fishing contests still await, along with gallery openings, even more parties and surprises in store. Why stay in when we can gather in swell spots dotted throughout the icy landscape? Winter may not be for sissies and yet, somehow—I manage.

Iowa boy's murder trial to move to another county
A 14-year-old Osage boy charged with killing his mother will be tried in a different county.
His attorneys requested the change of venue, citing adverse pretrial publicity in northern Iowa's Mitchell County. Prosecutors didn't oppose the motion, and a judge granted it on Tuesday.
The new location for the trial hasn't been determined yet. The trial is scheduled to begin on April 30.
The boy has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and first-degree assault with the intent to commit sexual abuse.
Authorities say the boy was 13 when he allegedly shot his mother to death on March 24. The Associated Press generally doesn't name juveniles accused of crimes or their families.

danicas racing history
Has Danica done any dirt car racing? Most of the drivers in nascar have dirt racing experience. I have worked on a formula atlantic team years ago and the car owner had alot of experience in the atlantic type cars and was a little lost when he started driving the shelby can am car. The atlantics were the old Indy lite series cars with the tunnels and fixed wings and the shelby only had a wing and no tunnels. It took halfe the season to realize that the shelby car would slide and be able to regrip the track and plus taking advice from some of the gt drivers about throttle control and the effects of burping the throttle to actually stear the car thru the corners. He later admitted that the drivers who gave the most sound advice had driven dirt tracks but they also told him that the actual experiance was the best teacher.
