WHO confirms Indonesian child's H5N1 death
The World Health Organization (WHO) yesterday confirmed the death of a 2-year-old Indonesian boy from H5N1 avian flu that the country's media reported several days ago. The boy, from Riau province, developed a fever Apr 17, was hospitalized Apr 21, and died on Apr 27. His parents sell quail eggs, the WHO report said. Indonesia's Ministry of Health confirmed the case. Of the 189 H5N1 cases confirmed in Indonesia since 2005, 157 (83%) have been fatal. The nation leads the world in both H5N1 cases and deaths, and all six of the country's cases this year have been fatal. The global WHO H5N1 count has now reached 603 cases, including 356 deaths.

Group weighs challenges of estimating EU flu deaths
European flu surveillance experts today said it's difficult to pin down an estimate of overall morality of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic in the region, because countries don't yet have common methods. In sketching out in Eurosurveillance the strengths and weaknesses of different systems to assess seasonal and pandemic flu mortality burden, they wrote that methods based on death certificates and lab confirmations lead to underestimates, especially in older people. EU member states reported 2,900 lab-confirmed deaths, which should be considered a minimum number, they wrote. On the other hand, population-based methods based on statistical and modeling techniques can be more imprecise and would benefit from ways to account for confounding factors, such as other respiratory viruses and climate conditions. They observed that special reporting systems used in the United States and Australia that assess the impacts on specific groups, such as children, are useful for guiding vaccination policies. Classical statistical methods that incorporate historical data aren't as useful for pandemics, because out-of-season baselines are tough to determine. A new pilot project called the European Mortality Monitoring Project (EuroMOMO) that incorporates age-specific mortality shows promise as a more sensitive approach. It found that all-cause mortality for the 2009 H1N1 pandemic was similar to seasonal flu, but suggested a short-term increase in mortality among children ages 5 to 14 years. They said mortality projections are useful for pandemic planning, but health officials should communicate them carefully to avoid misperceptions by the media or public. The EuroMOMO project, which includes 10 countries, is a good start at standardizing systems, the group concluded, adding the system could be enhanced by incorporating cause-specific data and a way to control for confounders.

Seasonal flu vaccine prompts antibodies against 1918 virus in ferrets
A study of how well the 2010-11 seasonal flu vaccine protected ferrets against the 1918 pandemic virus showed that it induced antibodies against the virus, a finding that could be useful when planning protection for lab workers and the public in the event of a biological attack with or lab escape of the former pandemic virus. A team led by CDC researchers injected ferrets three times with a human dose of seasonal flu vaccine or a control, then challenged them with the 1918 virus, the Perth H3N2 virus, or the 2009 H1N1 virus 5 to 8 weeks after the final dose. They found that the seasonal flu vaccine induced cross-neutralizing antibodies against the 1918 virus and reduced morbidity and virus shedding compared with the control animals. The findings were similar to a vaccine trial that showed that the monovalent 2009 H1N1 vaccine induced cross-reactive antibodies to the 1918 virus in humans. The group concluded that, although more human serology data are needed about cross-reactive antibodies to the 1918 virus, preexisting immunity to the former pandemic virus is likely to increase due to vaccination and infection with the 2009 H1N1 virus.

Installing AdRotator in a Windows Phone project is now easier than ever, just add the control to your page, setup your configuration XML and off you go.
Windows 8 at present supports the following Ad Providers:
- Microsoft Pubcenter
- AdDuplex (included with the release as a NuGet package)
- Inmobi
Installing AdRotator for Windows 8
The best way to get a hold of the new and improved AdRotator control is through NuGet, just search for the "AdRotator" project, install and away you go, we include everything you needs to get started, including:
- The AdRotator DLL's for your platform (The Core Project and a platform specific DLL)
- A sample Configuration XML file
- A Read-Me file with everything you need to get started
*Note As the V2 control is still an Alpha release, please ensure you check the "Include PreRelease" option when installing NuGet Packages
Enabling Providers
When implementing the AdRotator control it's important to decide which providers you wish to support and add their respective SDK's to your project, if you don't add an ad providers SDK then configuration for that provider will be ignored.
For more detail on the providers we support for Windows 8, visit their respective web sites to obtain their latest SDK:
- Microsoft PubCenter
- AdDuplex ( included with AdRotator as NuGet package)
- InMobi
Control Usage
To create an instance of the AdRotatorControl use the following template:
<adRotator:AdRotatorControl x:Name="AdRotator" xmlns:adRotator="using:AdRotator" AdHeight="90" AdWidth="728" LocalSettingsLocation="defaultAdSettings.xml" AutoStartAds="True" />
*Note – in a change from V1 – you only need to use the Invalidate function if you want to state the control manually. If you would rather Ads started automatically, set the "AutoStart" option to true, see below
Important properties of the AdRotator control:
- IsEnabled – setting this property to false will collapse the control
- RemoteSettingsLocation – URL to the remote XML file that controls the probability of ad providers shown. Strongly advised to set this property (otherwise there's not much point in using the control)
- DefaultAdType – what ad type should be shown if either the ad settings file could not be loaded or other ad providers have failed to load. The value of this property can be PubCenter, AdMob, AdDuplex, InnerActive or None.
- LocalSettingsLocation – URI to a local xml file that will be used if the remote file specified with SettingsUrl could not be loaded since the installation of the application using the control.
- AutoStart – Controls whether AdRotator will start delivering Ad's straight away or not, the default is false (Manual start)
- AdWidth – Set's the width of the AdControl, also sets the request Ad Width to Ad Providers (be sure to check your supported provided Ad Widths)
- AdHeight – Set's the height of the AdControl, also sets the request Ad Height to Ad Providers (be sure to check your supported provided Ad Heights)
- IsTest – Sets Ad Providers in to "Test" mode (where supported)
- IsAdRotatorEnabled – Control whether AdRotator is enabled or not, if disabled it will not display on screen or collect Ads.
- AdRefreshInterval – Controls how often AdRotator will try to refresh Ads, the minimum value (and default) is 60 seconds
We also recommend that if you intend to use the control on multiple pages that you embed the above control in a separate User Control for your app and use that User Control for the pages you wish to implement it in.
Default House AD functionality
*Coming Soon (currently not implemented in the V2 stream yet)
With AdRotator you have the ability to create your own ads through the Default House AD functionality.
To use this just define your own user control with the dimension of 480wx100h with the content that you want to display, optionally you can either hook your Click event within your control or hook it up externally in your Page.cs using the "DefaultHouseAdClick" Event.
With your control defined either set the "DefaultHouseAdBody" setting in XAML or add a secondaryID property in the configuration XML for the HouseAd to:
<namespace>.<object name>
For example in the test solution we set the default house Ad that is in the same project to:
And to alternately use the Ad in the separate class library we set it to:
So long as the local XAML is in your project and can be referenced it will be available. We've also tested thoroughly that if it cannot find it for any reason it will fail cleanly and just disable the house Ad.
As before if you also provide a Remote House Ad URL that will take preference unless it is unable to download it.
The Ad Configuration File
When you install AdRotator through NuGet we supply a sample configuration file for use titled "defaultAdSettings.xml". Either hosted within your solution or remotely on an external website (or both) this file tailors the AdRotator experience within your application.
Since V1 this configuration file has been significantly advanced to allow more flexibility and control with the additional capability to have more than one configuration for a single provider.
For more details on the configuration file see the "Configuration File Getting Started" page.
Caching and Fallback
The control implements caching of the remote configuration file to minimize network traffic and performs fallback in case of errors during showing of ads or loading of settings. The important parts of this mechanism are as follow:
- The remote settings file defined in SettingsUrl is only attempted to be fetched once per the lifetime of the application. If this is successful, the copy of this file is persisted in isolated storage.
- If fetching of the remote settings file defined in SettingsUrl is unsuccessful, the last persisted settings file will be used from isolated storage.
- If there has previously been no successful fetching of the remote settings file defined in SettingsUrl, the local settings file defined in the DefaultSettingsFileUri property will be used (if the property is assigned)
- If loading of a particular ad type failed, that ad will not be loaded again through the lifetime of the application (that is if an ad was not filled, it will not be used again).
- If no other ad can be loaded, the ad type defined in the DefaultAdType property of the control we be used. By default this property is set to None. Setting this property is strongly advised.

Police are on the hunt for a man who they say attacked and sexually assaulted a 96-year-old woman inside her New Jersey home.
The woman, who we are not naming in order to protect her identity, was outside her Pleasantville, N.J. home Saturday morning getting the newspaper. That's when family members believe a masked man went into her house.
When she went back inside, police say the suspect attacked.
"She said he knocked her on the floor and tried to strangle her," said the woman's daughter-in law.
Police say the man then sexually assaulted her before fleeing the scene.
"She's very well shook up," said the woman's son. "I'm a former police officer, and I had to just maintain myself."
The woman was badly bruised after the attack and was taken to the hospital. The woman says she saw her attacker stealing items from her dresser though she's unsure what he stole. Potential evidence collected at the hospital was sent to the State Police lab for analysis.
"Basically, we've dropped everything that we're doing at the station just to follow up on this,' said Pleasantville Police Chief Jose Ruiz.
The victim is now staying with relatives who are hoping the man responsible will soon be brought to justice.
"Terrible person," said the victim's daughter-in-law. "You don't deserve to be out here in society."
If you have any information on the attack, please call Pleasantville Police.

Prominent British passengers in the Times, note the model, but most likely it is Pamela Sheels
I remember reading an archive British newspaper report and in it there was a photograph of Wendy Wheal (I believe) as one of the four fashion models killed in the crash. I very much thought the website was over and it had achieved what I believed need to be achieved. But something is missing. In a conversation with Bruno Druesne perhaps the catalyst to honour those who perished, the goal* which we both set out to be has not materialized fully.
Here is an example: " I was looking for Miss Wendy Wheal's image in the internet. Then I though I could find some images in Corbis -The biggest image archive….Unfortunately I could never reach her but this one…and the other images having listed under the same keyword "Turkish Airlines Paris". Who deserves to lay down on the ground as upper half out like this!!* Oh the God…you are so big…you are the source of all the things…and all the reasons…we will never understand. Wendy in Blue Dress was by shown on TV which was re-creation for National Geography.
Please try to find an image of the real Wendy for me…Do something for her…She merits a reward to take place in your TK981 blog with her model image. Doesn't she?"
* A crash image of a bust of a women that appears to be doctored
Here is another: " Thirty five years to the day I still remember with great love my girlfriend Kailan Wilcox, daughter of Wayne Wilcox (Cultural Attache to the American Embassy in London) who died on that fateful day. All my love forever. Mike"
As for Wendy Wheal, her private life seems to fascinate many people, I am dumbfounded by this. A book of her short career could capitalized on her as one of the three hundred and forty-five people killed that day, March 3rd, 1974 in a series of misfortune and man-made events that blinded Nejat Berkoz in his decisions to bring his ill-fated DC-10 to safety.
If you read the comments, you may agree that this tragedy foretells its burden to those still affected 36 years ago and the author, Paul Eddy who states, he has been consumed by it.
The London Times archive on March 4th, 1974, Wendy Wheal's photograph may be available within the article
200 passengers from British Airways are among the 345 killed in worst plane crash on record Britons in two air horrors:
Turkish DC-10 disaster: reporter from 'The Times' from Charles Hargrove Mortefontaine, near Senlis, March 3rd Three hundred and forty five people, including the crew of 11 were killed when a DC-10 aircraft of Turkish Airlines crashed at 12.35 pm today jn the forest of Ermenonvile, north- east of Paris, a few minutes after taking off from: Orly airport. There were no survivors. It is the biggest air disaster of all time. The aircraft was on a regular flight from Ankara to London, by way of Paris.
Among the victims were 200 passengers, many of them British, who had been transferred to the Turkish Airlines flight as a number of British Airways. flights from Paris to London had been canceled today because of the strike of engineers and other staff at London airport. I visited the scene of the crash, four hours later. Thousands of people were converging on the site by car, cycle, and on foot. They cluttered the roads and paths into the forest, hampering rescue work. But the police kept them at a safe distance from the actual site. None of the hundreds of strollers in the forest was killed by the crash, which occurred in a small sheltered valley, with a blanket of snow still on the ground, where no one had ventured.
Over a stretch of 1,000 yards where the trees had been sheered off probably, a British Airwavs official said as the pilot attempted a crash landing, Only blackened stumps remained. Wreckage and mutilated human remains were strewn over the whole- area, from which smoke curled up. in places. Bits of clothing and of flesh clung from some of the trees. The aircraft seemed to have been pulverized. At the end of the valley, where what was left of it must have finally come to a standstill, there were one or two barely identifiable portions of the fuselage. I tripped over a part of a turbine. That was all.
Rescue operations got under way in record time, with remarkable, efficiency. The emergency Orsec plan, providing for big catastrophes, was decreed. Several hundred rescue workers, volunteers of the Red Cross and of the Protection Civile, together with the, fire brigade and ambulance teams from Senlis and the neighboring towns and villages were on the site half an hour after the. crash. The rescue workers quickly realized that there was no rescue work to be done and set about the gruesome task of collecting human remains. The bodies, battered and dismembered, were being- put into bags, or just covered with blankets, and piled up on stretch. Part of the fuselage of the Turkish airliner that crashed yesterday in the forest of Ermenonville, north-east of Paris, killing all 345 people on board.

Tracie P. needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 66 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
Downtown Health & Fitness
We have a health and wellness complex that encompasses every aspect of living healthy: physicians, weight loss, aesthetics, medspa and more. Our newest addition will be a brand new fitness center with certified personal trainers and aerobic and strength equipment, as well as an integrated retail center with supplements and energy drinks/bars. We are in a revitalized downtown area and would like our site to be both modern/urban and professional to match our more medical sites.
Typical gym goers...20s thru middle-age audience focused on healthy living. This is a brand new gym and there are no others in the downtown area so we will need to attract a totally new market to the area. There is a small amount of residential/urban condo space in the same complex, but we will also be marketing outside the downtown area and to existing patients of the health center.
We would like to be provided everything we would need in a layered PSD or PNG to turn that into a full HTML/CSS based home page. So, any unusual fonts or stock images used would need to be included.
We are really open to the design as long as it feels modern and up to date but is also easy to use and professional.
We have a 200 pixel dark gray (#343434) and white column that will be along the left side of this page and all our other companies that are in the same building. So, the page will need to be sized so that all important elements will fit on average resolution screens even with this on the left side.
Also, we do not have a logo, so we are definitely open to some creativity with the font used for the company name. We have a part of our center's logo that could be used if it matched with the design, but that is totally optional!
We need a home page for the fitness center. The name of the center is "Downtown Health & Fitness" and this should be very clear. I am attaching our "temporary logo" which is really just a small image and the name of the company. Using this image is completely optional and is just being offered in case you think it will work with your design rather than just having the company name alone.
For colors, the gym will have black and the same blue as the Orlando Magic (also in the temp logo).
The links should be "Home", "Take a Tour", "Personal Training", "Classes", "Retail", "City Centre" and "Directions".
We would like the address and phone number on the main page, as well as a copyright statement (probably in the lower right as this is consistent with all our companies).
We will also have a small introductory paragraph with some information about the gym.
No, just a small blurb about when we are opening:
We will be using Life Fitness equipment (lifefitness.com) and like how their site's introductory page is really bold. However, on this site it's more of a splash screen and you need to then click a picture to get to the main content and links, and in our case it would all be on the home page. I am also attaching two logos of the equipment we will be using. It is not required that these be on the main page, but I thought I would provide them just in case it feels appropriate to add somewhere.
I am attaching our home page that we are developing for the entire center. We really like this design and the left hand column that lists all the companies is what will also go on the left hand side of this web page.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton edged out Sen. Barack Obama with the help of women voters, roaring back from defeat in Iowa and denying Mr. Obama back-to-back wins that would have smoothed his path to the Democratic nomination.
In the Republican race, Sen. John McCain coasted to victory in a state that had endorsed his independence and straight-shooting style in the 2000 primary and did so again Tuesday. Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was runner-up for the second time in a week in states he had staked his campaign on winning.
Senator Clinton's upset followed a third-place finish in Iowa and polls Sunday showing her as many as 10 percentage points behind Obama in New Hampshire. Reports circulated Tuesday of an imminent staff shake-up.
Analysts were at a loss to fully explain the turnaround but said she may have benefited from any number of factors: a strong get-out-the-vote drive by local unions, a teary moment on the campaign trail Monday, or new sympathy for her after a rough-and-tumble debate Saturday.
Women in Iowa narrowly favored Obama, but 47 percent of women here voted for Clinton, versus 34 percent for Obama, according to exit polls. Clinton was also the favorite of registered Democrats, older voters, and residents of working-class enclaves like Manchester, the state's largest city. With fewer young voters in the mix and Senator McCain siphoning off independents, Obama was unable to sustain the momentum of his surprise win in Iowa.
The Democratic results Tuesday set up a clear two-person race between Obama and Clinton ahead of contests in Nevada, Michigan, and South Carolina, analysts say.
McCain's victory revives his campaign. But with limited money and stiff challenges in other states, it does little to clarify the race for the Republican nomination.
"I don't see that anyone has really demonstrated the knack to be called a frontrunner," says William Mayer, a political scientist at Northeastern University in Boston.
A record 500,000 people – about 62 percent of registered voters – were estimated to have turned out at the polls on an unseasonably warm January day. For voters in both parties, the economy and the war in Iraq were top issues, according to exit polls.
In the Democratic primary, the results, with 96 percent of precincts reporting, were 39 percent for Clinton; 36 percent for Obama; 17 percent for former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards; 5 percent for New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson; and 1 percent for US Rep. Dennis Kucinich.
In the Republican contest, 37 percent voted for McCain; 32 percent for Mr. Romney; 11 percent for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee; 9 percent for former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani; 8 percent for US Rep. Ron Paul; and 1 percent for former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson.
New Hampshire is a fickle bellwether for the nation. Paul Tsongas captured the Democratic primary here in 1992, Pat Buchanan was the Republican winner in 1996, and McCain the GOP victor in 2000. None went on to win his party's nomination.
For the moment, however, Clinton owns the spotlight. She reversed expectations and even one-upped her husband's surprise second-place finish here in 1992, when he declared himself the "Comeback Kid."
"Together, let's give America the kind of comeback that New Hampshire has just given me," Clinton told jubilant supporters in a victory speech in Manchester. "We're going to take what we've learned here in New Hampshire, and we're going to rally on and make our case. We are in it for the long run."
In his speech, Obama returned to themes of hope and unity and asked supporters to defy "cynics" who might see the outcome Tuesday as a "reality check."
"I'm still fired up and ready to go," he said in Nashua. "We know the battle ahead will be long. But always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change."
Consecutive wins in Iowa and New Hampshire would have given Obama a bolt of momentum that would have been difficult to stop. But his loss here clears the way for Clinton to pursue a 50-state strategy, built on a well-funded and disciplined campaign organization and plenty of time to raise new questions about her rival.
A Gallup Poll released Monday showed Clinton and Obama with 33 percent each nationally. In mid-December, Clinton was ahead of Obama, 45 percent to 27 percent.
"I would say Obama did get a bounce in New Hampshire from Iowa – it's why Obama did as well as he did," Linda Fowler, a political scientist at Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., said in a phone interview Tuesday night. "It just wasn't enough."
Clinton is well positioned to win Michigan, with its base of traditional Democrats and lower-income voters. But the odds are tougher to call in South Carolina. Obama's strong finishes in two overwhelmingly white states have muted early questions about his electability. Analysts say that African-Americans in the Palmetto State, aware of the historic nature of his candidacy, are unlikely to stand in his way.
Mr. Edwards's third-place showing here, after his second-place finish in Iowa, dims the lights on his campaign. His last hope is South Carolina, his birthplace. He returns there Wednesday for what his campaign is calling "Homecoming Rallies," but he has fared poorly in recent polls.
If he had any thoughts Tuesday about exiting the race, he kept them to himself. "Two races down, 48 states to go," he told supporters.
The Republican candidate most deeply wounded Tuesday was Romney, who had counted on consecutive victories in Iowa and New Hampshire to light a fire under his campaign nationally. He sank tens of millions of dollars into the first-in-the-nation contests and was considered a particular favorite in New Hampshire, next door to the state where he was governor.
But his loss to Mr. Huckabee in Iowa Jan. 3 raised questions about his electability. As an establishment-backed Republican seeking to position himself as the race's true conservative, he was never a perfect fit for New Hampshire's social moderates.
Romney has lowered expectations in recent days, arguing that a second-place finish keeps him in the race. But if he falters Jan. 15 in Michigan, where he grew up and his father was governor, analysts say he will be hard-pressed to recover.
At a post-primary event in Bedford Tuesday night, Romney promised a long fight and sought to counter his rivals' popularity with new efforts to portray himself as an outsider. "[People] feel that Washington is broken," he told supporters. "You have to have somebody from outside Washington who has proven that he can get the job done."
Whether New Hampshire is McCain's one-hit wonder remains to be seen. He started last year as a national GOP frontrunner, then crashed in the summer: His campaign ran out of cash, he angered conservatives with his support of a Senate measure to give illegal immigrants a path to citizenship, and irked moderates with his endorsement of the Bush administration's Iraq policy. He finished fourth in Iowa.
McCain is a natural in New Hampshire, where independents make up some 44 percent of the electorate. An early spoiler for him here – his support for Bush's troop "surge" in Iraq – receded as waning violence pushed the war from the front pages.
New Hampshire voters saw McCain as no better able to bring change than Romney but gravitated toward the former POW as the more experienced and inspiring candidate, according to recent polls.
"My friends, you know, I'm past the age when I can claim the noun 'kid,' no matter what adjective precedes it," he said at a victory celebration in Nashua. "But tonight, we sure showed them what a comeback looks like."
Huckabee, a Southern Baptist minister with a deep base of evangelical Christian support, won Iowa but was never much of a contender in New Hampshire, where rates of church attendance are among the country's lowest. His eyes now turn to South Carolina, a Bible Belt state where he leads in the polls despite recent advances by McCain.
Mr. Giuliani had campaigned only half-heartedly in Iowa and New Hampshire, hoping for a rout on Feb. 5, when New York, California, and 20 other states vote. But the strategy may backfire, some analysts say. He has missed out on the crush of media coverage heaped on winners in the early-voting states. And as terrorism and war fade from television screens, his appeal as New York's mayor after 9/11 loses some luster.
"All four of the leading Republicans candidates" – Giuliani, Huckabee, McCain, and Romney – "have some serious liabilities, but they each have some sort of angle where they could still pull it off," says David Kimball, a political scientist at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
Congressman Paul, with his antiwar, small-government message, drew a fervent following in New Hampshire. Small armies of supporters hoisted signs and bellowed from the street corners. But a fifth-place finish here will place him under increasing pressure to quit.
Late into the race and slow on the campaign trail, Thompson has struggled to convince Republicans of his passion for the White House. The "Law & Order" actor with the southern drawl was never expected to wow northern New England. Finishing a distant third in Iowa and sixth in New Hampshire, he is now placing all his chips in South Carolina, a must-win state where he has fallen from first to fourth in polls as Huckabee and McCain have surged.

Statistics are used by SQL Server's query optimizer to help determine the most efficient execution plan for a query. When the option to automatically create statistics is enabled (which it is by default) SQL Server will create statistics on columns used in a query's predicate as necessary, which usually means when statistics don't already exist for the column in question.
Statistics are also created on the key columns of an index when the index is created. SQL Server understands the difference between auto created column statistics and index statistics and maintains both - you can see this by querying the sys.stats system view. As I found out firsthand not too long ago having both auto created statistics and index statistics on the same column caused the query optimizer to choose a different - and less than optimal - execution plan than when only the index statistics existed.
According to the MSDN article Statistics Used by the Query Optimizer in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 auto created statistics are automatically dropped over time if they are not used but that can take an undetermined amount of time. What if we're experiencing the kind of problem I previously wrote about? In most of the cases I've seen it makes sense to help SQL Server out by manually dropping the auto created statistics in favor of index statistics that exist for the same column.
Fortunately SQL Server contains everything we need to know to figure out when column statistics are overlapped by index statistics. The following query will identify overlapped\overlapping statistics and generate the statements you can use to drop the overlapped statistics. All the usual warnings apply here - although this has not caused any problems for me your mileage may vary so wield this with an appropriate degree of caution:
WITH autostats ( object_id, stats_id, name, column_id )
AS ( SELECT sys.stats.object_id ,
sys.stats.stats_id ,
sys.stats.name ,
FROM sys.stats
INNER JOIN sys.stats_columns ON sys.stats.object_id = sys.stats_columns.object_id
AND sys.stats.stats_id = sys.stats_columns.stats_id
WHERE sys.stats.auto_created = 1
AND sys.stats_columns.stats_column_id = 1
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(sys.stats.object_id) AS [Table] ,
sys.columns.name AS [Column] ,
sys.stats.name AS [Overlapped] ,
autostats.name AS [Overlapping] ,
'DROP STATISTICS [' + OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(sys.stats.object_id)
+ '].[' + OBJECT_NAME(sys.stats.object_id) + '].['
+ autostats.name + ']'
FROM sys.stats
INNER JOIN sys.stats_columns ON sys.stats.object_id = sys.stats_columns.object_id
AND sys.stats.stats_id = sys.stats_columns.stats_id
INNER JOIN autostats ON sys.stats_columns.object_id = autostats.object_id
AND sys.stats_columns.column_id = autostats.column_id
INNER JOIN sys.columns ON sys.stats.object_id = sys.columns.object_id
AND sys.stats_columns.column_id = sys.columns.column_id
WHERE sys.stats.auto_created = 0
AND sys.stats_columns.stats_column_id = 1
AND sys.stats_columns.stats_id != autostats.stats_id
AND OBJECTPROPERTY(sys.stats.object_id, 'IsMsShipped') = 0
For more information on statistics see Using Statistics to Improve Query Performance in SQL Server Books Online. I also recommend watching Introduction to SQL Server Statistics, a presentation my friend Andy Warren (Blog | Twitter) recently gave for the PASS Performance Virtual Chapter which is available in their Presentation Archive.

Rbk EDGE Review: Predators/
Part 6 of 30. All 30 NHL clubs have unveiled new jerseys under the new Rbk EDGE Uniform System for the 2007-08 season. Here at the NHLToL, we're going to review every one of them. Read up and then rate the new sweaters. We'll do a full ranking after completing all of the reviews.
The Unveiling
Thursday, July 19. The Predators unveiled their jerseys at a fan event at Sommet Center in Nashville.
Home vs. Road
Home: Blue. Road: White. The two sweaters are essentially mirror images of each other but for minor alterations in terms of overall design and both feature secondary logo patches on each shoulder.
The blue home jerseys feature yellow piping extending down from the collar. The side panels are white. A thick stripe of silver outlined in blue extends from the neck to the cuff on the sleeves which are otherwise blue from the shoulder to the elbow and white to the cuff with blue piping around the wrist. The collar is blue and yellow and the primary logo serves as the crest.
The white road jerseys feature blue piping extending down from the collar. The side panels are blue. A thick stripe of silver outlined in blue extends from the neck to the cuff on the sleeves which are otherwise white with blue piping around the wrist. The collar is blue and yellow and the primary logo on a blue triangle serves as the crest with the word "NASHVILLE" just above it.
In The Details
The same shoulder patches featuring the secondary logo are found on both shoulders of each sweater. The white sweaters feature the city name above the logo, slightly differentiating it from the blue sweaters. The same numbering and lettering style has been retained.
New & Old
There are several differences in the overall design of the new sweaters when compared to the old. The silver shoulder yoke now extends completely down the arm. It also had yellow piping and a much thicker blue stripe around it that curved down to the wrist. The stripe and elements around the waist are also gone but replaced by side paneling. The new white sweaters do not include as much blue as the old ones did. On the ice, the jerseys look relatively similar, but you can find differences if you're really looking.
Standard FAQ
Numbers on the front? No.
Laces at the collar? No.
NHLToL Editorial by Chris
I've always been a fan of the Predators' jerseys. The old white is one of two non-Lightning jerseys that I actually own. (The other being a 1996 Mighty Ducks third jersey so that may not be a good barometer.) Looking at the home sweater on a rack, it can make you think of a t-shirt, the way the blue extends only down to the elbow. But I think that just adds to its uniqueness while many find that it's a fault. Another thing a lot of folks aren't fond of is the city name above the logo on the road sweater. That's one element I'm on the fence about. I see the merits of it while at the same time am bothered by it as a design element. On top of that, seeing these jerseys on a rack versus in action are two very different animals. I really don't care for how the whites look on the ice. I am impressed with the blues though. I'll call it a wash. 3/5

We travel to NYC frequently. My Favorite Place B&B is NYC's "best kept secret." Amazing accommodations, excellent hospitality, and delicious breakfast! We will be staying there again...and again...and again! When we arrived, we found flowers and balloons for my daughter to celebrate her birthday. Amazing!

Wir haben eine wundervolle Woche in der Wohnung von Carlos und Cecar verbracht. Sie sind sehr liebenswerte und hilfsbereite Gastgeber, besonders bemerkenswert das tolle Frühstück mit selbstgebackenem Kuchen jeden Morgen. Das Zimmer ist schön und komfortabel unnd das Bad modern. Wir kommen gern wieder. Doris und Karl

The location is rather convenient with the subway station nearby, and public transport in front of the building that goes to the Museum Miles. We stayed here for 5 nights, its a very cosy place and the apartment is very well maintained. And we really enjoyed the home pastries freshly made every morning for breakfast. Both the hosts - Carlos and Cesar, are really friendly and helpful. They are always ready to provide information about the city, and making our stay be more pleasant.

Convenient, cozy, tranquil--we found Cesar and Carlos to be the ultimate hosts. Follow Carlos to find the best kept secret of the city--wherever he might be the chef! The whole experience was just like being at home, but with a delicious breakfast.
5 on May 02, 2016
Carlos and Cesar were great hosts. They were very accommodating with our checking in/out times. The room was clean and quiet (we expected NYC to be noisy). Our breakfasts were delicious - freshly baked muffins or scones each morning. The BnB's location was also perfect - a couple blocks from the subway lines. They also recommended restaurants in the area and they were spot on!
5 on October 05, 2015
We have stayed in Carlos&César's place for 6 nights and we got everything we were looking for: very nice hosts (we felt free but not neglected, they have been always there to solve any doubt: gospel services, concerts, mall shopping...) a comfortable place to stay (and it was pretty too!) and a perfect daily breakfast, with no exceptions! We will definitely ask them again whe we go back to NY. Thank you very much, Carlos&César!! G&O

My daughter and I stayed here for two nights. The room is lovely, and certainly larger than any hotel room. The beds were exceptionally comfortable and it was so nice to have a real bathroom (complete with robes). The area is safe and the subway is a very short walk. Carlos and Cesar are wonderful hosts, welcoming and kind. Our breakfast of homemade baked goods and much more was fantastic, not to mention the best coffee I've had in NY. I would stay here again in a "NY minute."

Ich bin mehrfach im Jahr in New York und übernachte immer hier, denn es ist die beste und leckerste Übernachtungsadresse in New York bei fabelhaftem Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis!

This bed and breakfast is everything it's advertised to be and more. The hosts are friendly and welcoming. The location was convenient and neighborhood safe. We enjoyed homemade pastries and to-die-for coffee! This is the best deal in NYC!

I brought my mother to the city for her birthday, and we couldn't have asked for better accommodations! The building is a beautiful luxury high rise with a concierge. We had our own living room and dining area, a private bathroom larger than any NYC hotel could offer, and a lovely, comfortable room. The breakfasts of fresh homemade pastries every morning were fantastic - Carlos is an amazing chef! The bedroom has a large TV, closet space, and two incredibly comfortable beds. They even provide free wifi and umbrellas for bad weather. There is a nice laundry room down the hall, so you can pack light if you have a long stay. We could come and go as we pleased, and the innkeepers gave us total privacy. We only saw them at breakfast each morning. Carlos and Cesar are very friendly and helpful, and made us feel very welcome. They had plenty of recommendations for local dining, and provided us with maps and guidebooks of the city. This is the only place I will ever stay when I am in the city!

Carlos and Cesar were extremely friendly, helpful, and hospitable. Their place was cozy, clean, and perfect for a short stay in the city. They made a delicious breakfast for us each morning and let us come and go as we pleased. It's located very close to several subway/bus stops. We'd recommend "My Favorite Place" to anyone traveling!

We stayed at my favorite place b&b for 5 days during our honeymoon in the States. When we arrived a nice room and a bouquet of flowers were waiting for us. Very nice welcome, super friendly hosts. You can ask them anything and they will help you out whenever. So everything is very good or even perfect and then there is... the breakfast. It's not just any breakfast. It's amazing breakfast!! (Made especially for you every morning...) We are definitely planning on dropping by again on our next trip! Thank you Carlos & Cesar :)

A perfect place to be. In Harlem, nearby a subway and Central Park. Nice bedroom and bathroom, clean. Carlos and Cesar are very nice people and are very hospitable. The breakfast made by Carlos was every morning more than good. Everything was fresh and selfmade. Also the advise for the restaurants was very good. We've had a perfect time in NY and yes the B&B is "our favorite place". Thanks again Cesar and Carlos (from Holland)

El pasado 7 de marzo llegamos a casa de Carlos y César con toda la ilusión del alojamiento que habíamos encontrado, después de leer los comentarios que los huéspedes anteriores habían escrito es esta página, y podemos afirmar que My Favorite Place in NY superó nuestras expectativas!!! Queremos agradecer a Carlos y César lo bien que nos trataron, desde el primer momento nos sentimos muy cómodos y supimos que habíamos tenido la suerte de encontrar un lugar muy especial, hay que decir que el cariño con el que lo tratan se nota en todos y cada uno de los detalles!! Para nosotros es un B&B "con alma" ;-) Nos llevamos un muy grato recuerdo de confort y amabilidad. La casa está muy limpia, la cama es muy cómoda y los desayunos recién horneados cada mañana, fueron espectaculares!!!! También las recomendaciones de restaurantes que nos hacía Carlos cada mañana, hicieron que el viaje aún resultara más especial!! También queremos dejar constancia de la amabilidad de César, al ayudar a nuestros amigos a enviarme un regalo sorpresa al B&B por mi 40 cumpleaños, durante los días que estuvimos allí alojados, nuestros amigos desde Mallorca también te dan las gracias a través de estos comentarios! Carlos, César volvimos hace 1 semana de NY y ya tenemos ganas de volver y estar en vuestro B&B de nuevo!! Miquel y Celia desde Mallorca (Spain).

Carlos and Caesar were outstanding guests! My father and I stayed at their place for 3 nights. They were very accomodating and very nice with both of us. Breakfast was a dream! I'd recommend Carlos&Caesar's place to anyone! Enjoy!

My daughter and I were lucky enough to stay here for a few days during Thanksgiving. Advantages: 1. Room as nice or nicer than any uptown hotel. 2. Significantly less expensive. 3. Friendly, adorable hosts. 4. Easy subway access to anything. 5. Breakfasts to die for. Disadvantages: None. The little book left in the room for guests to write comments makes for interesting reading. Carlos and Cesar have had guests from everywhere in the world, and not one has left anything but the most glowing reviews. Plus, I stupidly left my camera there when we went home and they notified me that same night and took the camera to a nearby UPS where I was able to arrange for it to be mailed back to me. Would not consider staying anywhere else on our future trips to NYC. These guys made a wonderful trip MORE than wonderful.

Just stayed for a Christmas visit with an old time friend and Carlos and Cesar were over the top in taking care of us. I would stay here again and visit the area around here more. Carlos is a great chef who take pride in his food and it shows!! Everyone in the building was nice. Great bus lines all around.

Last September, we had the opportunity to stay in NY for about nine days. After we did some research on the internet, we decided to choose "My favorite place" for our stay. And ... we were not disappointed! First of all, the location of the cosy B&B is perfect for people who want to discover the Big Apple: two different subway lines that bring you to the city center straight away are just a few blocks away. "My favourite place" itself is situated in a friendly and pleasant neighbourhood: shops and restaurants can be found within walking distance. The innkeepers Carlos and Cesar are very friendly and helpful: indeed, it felt as if we stayed with friends we knew for years! And of course ... the breakfasts! Each morning, we started with a fresh and homemade breakfast, prepared by Carlos. Heaven ...
5 on October 25, 2012
As first-time visitors to the Big Apple, we feel lucky to have found My Favorite Place. It was an oasis of comfort and quiet relaxation amid the bustle and crowds of the City. It was like having our own apartment and private breakfast chef! Our room was very comfortable and clean. Robes and hair dryer in the bathroom were a nice touch. Carlos' breakfasts were superb and filling. On a few days, we even skipped lunch thanks to our delicious and hearty breakfast. The location was ideal: away from the crowds and noise of Manhattan hotels, but not too far away from museums and other attractions. The bus and subway stops were no more than a few blocks away. We felt safe walking to and from them at any time of the day or night. Carlos and Cesar were outstanding hosts--friendly and helpful but careful to allow us our privacy too. Carlos got us reservations at a fantastic West Village restaurant on our wedding anniversary. We'll never forget our week at My Favorite Place.

We had fantastic 5 days in NYC with Carlos and Cesar and highly recommend this B&B. The room was clean and the bed comfortable, and we had a private bathroom. Carlos breakfast was outstanding, we really enjoyed the scones, muffins, yogurt, the breakfast cereals and the variety of fruit. Whenever we come back to NYC, we will stay in this B&B again. Roland & Debora

It's sure, the next time I'll go to visit again New York I'll book again my staying at the B&B MY FAVORITE PLACE! I stayed here with my boyfriend for 2 nights in the middle of July and it has been fantastic, like feeling ourself at home. The apartment is so elegant, clean, comfortable and the breakfast with the homemade cake of Carlos….delicious!!!!!!!! Cesar and Carlos are really good natured, friendly and helpful! If someone I know going to New York, sure I'll advise him to go there!!!!! The area is safe, in the night too and really well served with public transport, if you come from JFK Airport too. Really high balance between quality and price! Reccomended!!! Thank for all Cesar and Carlos! Barbara an Luca from Trieste (Italy)

I Live and work in Cape May, New Jersey land of many B&B's large and small, I''ll admit I had hesitancy at first, in it just being in Someones Residence, but I can't wait to make a return trip, which should be Halloween!! pencil me in guys, will be in contact very shortly!!but on every level possible these guys, displayed warmth, personality, and professionalism, something most of my many stays in New York are without!!! There place is delightful, and I'm not usually a breakfast kind of guy.. But Carlos has made me a believer!!!! His spreads in the morning alone are worth the price of admission!!! I can still taste those banana nut muffins.!!!! Even though my intense party schedule kept me in bed a bit later than he normally likes to serve, I awoke every morning with a beautifully set table with an assort. of homemade breakfast delights. that put a smile on my face from Ear to Ear!!!Cesar and absolute delight to talk with! I couldn't have asked for a better new connection and after your stay, you'll TOTALLY AGREE with me!!! Enjoy as I did, and all me best to Carlos and Cesar !!! bye for Now!!

This B&B is amazing: clean, quiet, breakfast is good. We found free parking right in front, there is plenty of parking in the street, so don't need to pay for it. All the attractions are just a few subway stops away. Harlem is ok, not my favorite neighbor but the building is nice and safe. Carlos and Cesar are really good innkeeper. Thanks for everything.
5 on June 04, 2012
When we were looking for a nice place to stay in NYC and found Carlos' and Cesar's B&B we could not believe that those perfect reviews might be true. So we decided to figure it out :-). We stayed in My Favorite Place for 5 nights in May and we can definitely say: IT IS TRUE! The room, the bathroom, the apartment, the delicious breakfast and especially Carlos' and Cesar's hospitality - it's all more than perfect! We can definitely recommend this B&B for all those, that are looking for a special place in NYC with a lot of personality. It felt like coming home after a lot of sightseeing everyday! Also the area (East Harlem) is nice, there is a Dunkin Donut and CVS right around the corner and the subway to downtown is just 2 blocks away. Honestly, Carlos and Cesar, we wish you all the best and that your dream of a whole house of B&B rooms will come true some day! :-) Thanks for all. Danke für alles! Miri & Manuel

We stayed 5 nights at C&C's B&B. All was perfect, exceptional. Good location, close to beautiful Central Park by foot. Easy reachable by subway & bus to center. El Bario es sympatico, multicultural y seguro. Los desayunos son "sin nombres", en resumen: DELICIOSOS, originales y variados. Owners are very friendly. We thank you Cesar y Carlos.

My wife and I had a wonderful time in NYC. A major concern is always: Where do we stay that is Clean, Safe and Amiable. We found the place--My Favorite Place B&B. Accesible to public transportation, quiet neighborhood and a security guarded building. But none of these already excelent qualities were the convincing factor to write this review. The most impressive element in our stay was the professionalism demonstrated by our inkeepers and the exquisite and sophisticated breakfast that they provided every morning. We though that it was not going to last our whole time there... we were wrong, Every day was something new and exiting!!! Not only would we recommend it, we are comming back, whenever we visit NY again!!!

We stayed with the inkeepers for 5 nights. The appartement is clean, stylish and very comfortable. You have a big bathroom. Breakfast is awesome and not what you expect it to be, so check it out! You have good access to both metrolienes bringing you downtown the eastside and westside. We can really recommend this stay and there will be still money left for all the attractions in NYC.

We are very pleased with our stay in this B&B. After wandering countless miles on the streets of the city the B&B provided us the possibility to fully rest and get ready for our next day. The owners are very friendly hosts always willing to help. Overall this is a great place to stay, I will recommend it to any of my friends.

My husband and I recently stayed with Carlos and Cesar for our first trip ever to NYC and it was a fantastic experience. Our room and private bathroom were spotless and they made sure that we were always comfortable. Breakfast was exceptional. We were spoiled by Carlos' baking and Cesar's attention to detail. The apartment is just a little north of Central Park and close to the subway. We would definitely stay with Carlos & Cesar again!! All the best guys!! Karolina & Guillaume

Stay at My Favorite Place B&B if you're in NYC. Carlos and Cesar were wonderful hosts during our three night stay in their peaceful, welcoming home. The location is ideal. We drove from Vermont and parked in a reasonably priced garage just around the corner. The apartment is close to Central Park and subway stations. We often walked at night and always felt safe. The space is inviting. Both the bedroom and bathroom are spacious and spotless. The bed was comfy and there is plenty of space for luggage and hanging clothes. I appreciated having free WiFi and the tranquil living room for doing work in the mornings. The breakfasts are relaxing and scrumptious. Somehow Carlos managed to prepared heavenly breakfasts every morning without making a sound. I felt like royalty waking up to these breakfasts. Carlos, those chocolate chip buttermilk scones were extraordinary. Finally, Carlos and Cesar are delightful, accommodating hosts. They gave us our space and privacy, but were also happy to engage and easy to talk to. We did not spend much time at our room, and they were both totally fine with us returning late at night. We highly recommend My Favorite Place B&B to anyone staying in Manhattan.

Carlos and Cesar were very good 'inn keepers'. This was my third visit to NY and although I was a little apprehensive about not booking a hotel, it was the best decision I could have made. Both my daughter and myself felt really looked after and comfortable. I would definitely recommend a stay with Carlos and Cesar.

We stayed for 4 days with Carlos and Cesar...and it was fantastic. Our room was very comfortable and we had our own bathroom. The breakfast was perfect. Carlos, we always remember your fantastic muffins ;-) The location was also perfect...close to central park, the guggenheim, subway,... We definitely come back and we will recommend your B&B to our friends and family. Thank you guys for our amazing "New York experience". Mattias & Michèle (Belgium, Antwerp)

En cuanto llegué a My favorite Place B&B supe que había acertado en mi elección. Tanto Carlos como César nos trataron, a mi marido y a mí, magníficamente desde el primer momento. De hecho, el día que llegamos llovía muchísimo y Carlos nos invitó a cenar allí, ¡cocinó él! Una de las mejores sopas de pollo y vegetales que he tomado. Y es que tengo que decir que en los 10 desayunos que preparó no repitió ni un sólo dulce, y todos estaban fantásticos. Nos sentimos como en casa desde el primer momento. El apartamento es precioso. Oh, y las camas son comodísimas. Sin olvidar lo bien comunicado que está con el metro y el autobús, y lo cerquita que queda de Central Park. Si quereis visitar Nueva York, esta es la mejor opción, sin duda. Carmen y Pablo, España.

Our time with Carlos and Cesar was amazing. We stayed in New York for 10 days and they really made us feel at home. The apartment was really nice and the breakfasts from chef-de-cuisine Carlos were delicious! Every day he surprised us again with fantastic home made treats. A scone here a muffin there, just writing about it makes me hungry... Hurricane Irene reached New York City when we were there. Even though they didn't have to, they made us lunch and dinner. Which was really sweet! The room was very nice and spacious. And the bed was very comfortable. The cable tv came in handy when Irene decided to pay New York a visit :). The location is really good. It's right between two subway lines. One of wich takes you to Times Square in 10 minutes. Also, Central Park is just a five minute walk away. They neighborhood is really quiet, but entertainment isn't far away. In short, go to this B&B when you go to New York. You won't regret it for one moment. Ruben en Malu from The Netherlands.

My cousin and I stayed at the B&B for a week while visting NYC, and the service we received by Carlos and Cesar was out of this world! The breakfast was delicious. I will back again. Thanks Carlos and Cesar!

My fiance and I stayed at Carlos and Cesar's B&B for three nights, and although we weren't at the B&B for more than 8 hours a day (to sleep), Carlos and Cesar made sure that, for those 8 hours, we were perfectly comfortable - the apartment is very nice, clean and inviting. In addition to having a spacious bedroom, you are also provided with a private bathroom, free WiFi, and free AMAZING breakfast prepared by Carlos every morning! Not to mention that the apartment is only a few blocks away from Central Park and two subway lines, and located in a very safe neighborhood. Good luck trying to find such a nice place, with such amazing innkeepers, at such a great price anywhere else in Manhattan!! When my fiance and I have the chance to make another NYC trip, we will definitely be staying here, and as a married couple! :) Muchas gracias Carlos y Cesar por tu hospitalidad asombrosa!

The Inkeepers were very hospitable and went out of their way to ensure that I was comfortable all the time. For a first time visitor of NYC they were quite helpful and always advising on places to visit. As a single female I felt very safe even going out at night. Very close and convenient transportation with the Metro bus and subway. Could not wait for the lovely treats served for breakfast, very delicious! I will certainly be back! Sending my warmest gratitude to the hosts, well done!

Je recommande vivement ce B&B !! Carlos et Caesar sont accueillant et chaleureux et le petit déjeuner de Carlos est vraiment excellent. Les chambres et les sanitaires sont très propres comme l'ensemble de l'appartement. Le quartier peut paraître impressionnant au départ par le nom (East Harlem) mais au final c'est un quartier plutôt sympa à coté de plusieurs lignes de Subway et à 5 min de Central Park. Bref un B&B à ne pas rater !!! Rémi

"My Favorite B&B" is definitely our favorite home in NYC. We stayed there 7 nights and our expectations were clearly surpassed! Safe building, large nice bedroom, own clean bathroom, conveniently located, close to bus- and subway stations and only a few blocks away from Central Park. The hosts (Carlos and Cesar) are simply fantastic! They are not only friendly and helpful but simply wonderful people! Carlos fixed delicious breakfasts - Each morning was a new treat! We had very interesting conversations and got lot suggestions for city adventures! We can only recommend this B&B and know for sure: We will be back! Thanks C²!!

My Favorite B&B was my home away from home for nine nights, and it was truly wonderful. Large bedroom, own bathroom, windows that open, quiet, close to the subway (several lines) and a range of restaurants. I never felt vulnerable or unsafe in the neighbourhood, despite being a single white female. Best of all though, were Carlos's breakfasts - perfection in food. Each morning was a new treat - the very best scones (biscuits) I've ever had; the very best shortbread, without exception; and I am now a convert to bread and butter pudding. Yummo! -abigail from Australia, stayed late April 2011

What a great place to stay! My hosts were the best and the breakfast pastries, hand made my Carols, were the best! I had Carlos make a special dinner for me and it was to die for!! The guys were great at giving suggestions for city adventures. I felt right at home and was very well cared for. The location on 5th Ave. was great for using public transportation. Two thumbs up!

Ich verbrachte im März 2011 eine Woche mit meinem Sohn in New York und war von dem B&B absolut begeistert. Anfangs konnte ich die hervorragenden Bewertungen zu diesem Preis nicht ganz glauben, wurde aber schnell eines besseren belehrt. Ich kann das B&B von Carlos und Cesar nur wärmstens empfehlen, die beiden sind sehr gastfreundlich und absolut um ihre Gäste bemüht, das Appartment ist blitzsauber und ruhig, null Verkehrslärm. Morgens gibt es ein wunderbares, frisch zubereitetes Frühstück. Alle Vorurteile gegen Harlem kann man vergessen, die Wohngegend ist ruhig, sauber und absolut sicher. Die U-Bahn-Anbindung ist sehr gut, man ist in 5 Minuten bei der Station und ist in maximal einer Viertelstunde am Times Square. Carlos und Cesar, ich wünsche Euch viele Gäste, Euer Engagement und Eure Gastfreundschaft verdient es! Petra und Valentin aus Graz, Österreich

Wow! We spent four restful nights in the comfortable atmosphere of this very quiet B&B and were impressed with the well-appointed room - luxury entertainment system, free internet and a bed that begged you to stay put. The breakfast? Let's just say we have not had one as good since. We also found the hosts to be THE BEST, attention to detail was present in everything. And, very importantly, the B&B is conveniently located and very well connected. 'My favorite place B&B' soars (and scores) in our book - we will definitely return!

We had a very nice visit to New York right before Christmas thanks to Carlos and Cesar. The room is clean and comfortable and the building is located a few short blocks away from Central Park or the subway, and in an interesting part of the city. Carlos' breakfasts were top notch and he was eager to accommodate our vegetarian diet. Cesar was very helpful and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. Both are also great conversationists. Get away from the expensive cookie-cutter hotel and stay here for a real taste of the Big Apple.

The hosts are very helpful and friendly guides. The breakfast was a true feast each morning. The building itself is new and efficient. Nice to stay in a draft-free place in the wintertime.

This was our fourth visit to New York City and it was the best. Staying with Carlos and Cesar gave my husband and I opportunity to enjoy a peaceful, convenient, beautifully decorated, sparkling clean room with a tailored breakfast served by a most amiable chef. We have stayed in hotels, condos and friend's apartments. This stay allowed us to have complete privacy yet be pampered with extras.
5 on November 08, 2010
Carlos and Cesar are excellent hosts, very friendly but gave me my space and privacy. The building is quiet and the lobby staff friendly while maintaining the security of the buildiing. The continental breakfast far exceeded my expectations from what I have come to expect--especially in NYC. A great deal of space and comfort. Convenient to subway stops. I will stay here again on future visits to NYC.

We stayed at Carlos' place for one week, he and Cesar really made us feel at home. The most helpfull, flexible and warm hosts you can imagine. A perfect place to stay if you want to visit NYC.

I stayed there two nights before returning to Switzerland and my expectations were not only met but clearly surpassed! It was a home away from home! It is conveniently located, close to bus- and subway stations and only a few blocks away from Central Park. The room is nice and clean and the same is true for the bathroom. The bed/matress is very comfortable. The hosts (Carlos and Cesar) are simply fantastic! They are not only friendly and helpful but simply wonderful people! Carlos fixed delicious breakfasts and we even engaged in very interesting conversations! I can only recommend this B&B. I know I will be back!

My husband and I had a great experience at this B&B. Carlos and Cesar were very friendly and accommodating. The location is great. It is one black away from a subway station and a few blocks from Central Park. The food is excellent. My husband and I still talk about the wonderful breakfast that we had each morning. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Carlos and Cesar are wonderful hosts whom made our stay so much better! They provided a great environment, a fantastic location and a outstanding breakfast! The accommodation is situated very convenient and we can't wait untill our next stay in NYC! Iris & Oliver

A weekend stay was made memorable by the hospitality of Carlos, plus a cozy, comfortable and clean room and a delightful homemade breakfast to get us ready for a busy day. The neighborhood, while safe, may intimidate some guests, but the new condo building felt very safe and secure with very friendly doormen. It's very close to the 2,3 and 6 subways making a seemingly distant location convenient to all locations. This unique bed and breakfast accommodation perfectly suited our independent style.

My husband and I stayed only one night for convenience for an early medical appointment at nearby Mt Sinai hospital. This was much better than driving down in morning in New York City commuter traffic! We were able to park on premises, could have taken the bus, but elected to drive to the hospital. The rooms are clean and gorgeous. The innkeeper is very friendly and accommodating. He made special arrangements for an earlier breakfast for us due to our appointment time. The location is wonderful for an extended stay in New York City for one or two people. We plan to return for a more recreational stay visiting New York City attractions.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – UC Santa Barbara couldn't have asked for a better start to the season in their exhibition matchup against the Westmont Warriors, dominating the play en route to a 3-0 win over their crosstown rivals.
3,219 fans packed Harder Stadium on Saturday night to support the Gauchos, who quickly gave the faithful something to cheer for. In just the fourth minute, a trio of freshmen linked up to create a goal finished by senior Achille Campion.
Dribbling towards the left touchline, forward Ismaila Jome drew a foul from his Westmont marker about 30 yards out from goal. Midfielder Drew Murphy stepped up to take the free kick, then whipped a cross into the box, where freshman Nick Depuy – a midfield/defense hybrid who operated at right back in this game – got a head on the ball and sent it back towards the near post, where Campion was waiting to finish the job.
It was the first shot of the game of the year for the Gauchos. With the goal, the France native has now scored in eight of his nine appearances in a blue shirt.
Though clear scoring chances were few and far between for both teams in the first half, UCSB had the vast majority of possession, holding the Warriors without a shot for the entire first 45 minute period.
Campion had the best remaining chance of the half. In the 25th minute, senior midfielder Goffin Boyoko played a through ball from the right side across the box to his French countryman. The ball got past the aptly named Westmont keeper Josh Glover, but Campion's foot-first slide came up but inches short of connecting for a second goal.
The start of the second half saw the Gauchos introduce a trio of freshmen to the lineup in Armand Bagramyan, Josh McNeely, and Paul Ehmann, who was just cleared by the NCAA earlier this week. McNeely replaced junior keeper Austin Mansker, who saw little action in the UCSB end.
Westmont was able to get its first and only shot of the game in the 56th minute, when Rick McCarthy sent a header right into the gloves of McNeely.
In the last ten minutes of the match, the Gauchos capitalized on their dominant possession play with a number of chances. Bagramyan got the action going with a howling shot in the 82nd minute that was tipped to the crossbar by new Warriors keeper Andrew Singer.
Minutes later, the Gauchos got a more fortuitous bounce off the bar. In the 84th, German national Paul Ehmann coralled a ball from Murphy just outside the 18-yard box and fired on goal. Singer once again got his fingertips on the ball to push it off the crossbar, but this time the ball had enough velocity to ricochet off the woodwork and off the keeper's back into the net for a 2-0 UCSB lead, giving Ehmann his debut UCSB goal and Murphy a two-assist day.
The Gauchos capped the scoring shortly after in the 88th minute. Substitute Adam Carn-Saferstein maneuvered down the right touch line then sent a cross to the far post. Glover was not able to clear the ball, and a trio of Gauchos were waiting when the ball came down. Freshman midfielder Andy Perez was the one who got the touch on and sent it into the net to push the lead to 3-0.
Campion led the team on the night with four shots. Boyoko and DePuy, who operated on the right side for the Gauchos, had three shots apiece.
"I loved the team's energy tonight," said UCSB head coach Vom Steeg. "Especially the freshmen, I loved the way they worked. It shows how we're going to incorporate the younger group of players in our program."
The Gauchos will travel outside of California for the only time in the regular season this week when they head to Illinois to take on Northwestern and the University of Illinois, Chicago. Their regular-season opener against Northwestern will kick off at 5 p.m. Pacific time on Friday afternoon. UCSBgauchos.com will have a live audio broadcast of the contest, accessible from the men's soccer schedule or the listen live page.
UCSB plays their home opener on Sep. 6 against Gonzaga. Season seats are still available for the 2013 season, with plans starting as low as $3. To secure your seats today, call 805.893.UCSB or buy online here.

Big meets Little.
Big Brothers Big Sisters targets the children who need us most,including those living in single parent homes, growing up in poverty and coping with parental incarceration. Starting something begins with finding a great match between a Big and a Little. Making these matches, and performing all the background work involved with them, is possible because of donations from people like you. It's also why we're able to offer such a wide variety of programs that pair children, ages 6 through 18, with role models in one-to-one relationships.We also offer a Special Program for youth ages 12-21.
How a Big becomes a Big—and a Little, a Little.
Before we make a match, we do our homework. After someone expresses an interest in becoming a Big, they go through an extensive background check and careful interview process. Then we match Bigs and Littles based on location, personalities and preferences. And we provide full support from the start, so matches can grow into lasting, fruitful friendships. It's also important to note that the entire matching process is made possible through donations—we can't do what we do best without them!
What's a Big and Little to do?Each match is unique. Getting together doesn't require a special occasion or expensive activity—just four hours every month doing things the Little and Big already enjoy. For example:
