Saturday Morning…
Good Morning! 1/12/07 Upper West Side
I met Shravani for breakfast at one of my favourite coffee shops in the city. Located on the Upper West Side, the 40 minute subway ride from the Lower East Side is certainly not the most convenient, but my visits to Arte Around the Corner always leave me quite happy with a sense of peace.
Inside Arte Around the Corner
It's been months since the last time I've seen Shravani – the very first friend I made as an NYU freshman, and one of the few NYU people I still keep in close touch with.
L to R: Rustichella (Lemon Oil Cake), Flourless Chocolate Cake
We walked in around the 10 o'clock hour and sat down to a morning catch-up of times past. The place never fails to be packed to the brim on weekends, yet there is always a constant sense of calmness and efficiency in what sometimes seems to be a crazy city.
It's hard to pick a 'favourite' item here, as everything I've sampled has been either good or amazing. In the 'amazing' category one can place the Rustichella, a classic lemon oil cake. Now I have no clue how they make this, but if someone knows, please do tell! The cake bears a thin and dark golden crust that breaks into soft, yellow innards. It's beautiful to look at. But that is just the beginning.
On a different visit, the Rustichella came with a sugar dusted top!
Take your fork and cut all the way down from top to bottom. Put the slice in your mouth and wooosh, it sits for a moment, just long enough for you to take in the fragrant touch of lemon and the moist, full, texture much akin to a well done pound cake. And then, as you dare take a chew, it kind of, sort of…for real, just melts. Just like that. As if it were made from powdered sugar and lemon oil alone. It melts. And disappears. Like the most lovely of memories.
Many loaves to pick from!
But if it's your first visit here, you must go with one of the herb-honey loves. The come in three simple and pungent flavours. Honey + rosemary, sage, or basil. You cannot go wrong with any of them. It may look like an innocent slice, but do not be deceived.
Rosemary-Honey Loaf
It is POWERFUL. It is dense, it is intense, it is soaking in honey and the herbs play a dominate and unforgivingly delicious role. The taste of rosemary in the photo above was not a whisper or even a touch. It was bammed in there, straight in your face. Coupled with honey in equal intensity, it tastes as if it were bathed or baked in a river of honey. The golden crumb is rich and solid – this loaf is strong and not for the weak. A cup of coffee or tea is a must. It's a great morning treat, and sure to wake you up with its intensity! My first taste of this loaf was way back in spring of 2006, when Robyn mailed me a slice (along with many other goodies :) to Claremont. Oh goodness, that was a very delicious package!
Simply 'good' pastries here are the muffins, above is the Peach-Banana muffin I had on another occasion. The muffins are best thought of as mild and plain. Not overly sweet, but on the same hand, not exactly fully of flavour either.
It's a very light muffin, boring if you will, studded with a fair hand of chopped peaches and bananas.
Shann's strawberry croissant with worth a shot just to try it once, but I wouldn't get it again. Memorable croissants are already hard enough to come by in this city, and it's simply best not to eat it if you're not going to be a good one! As far as pastries here go, it is best to stick with the sweets that you don't find in most bakeries: the various herb-honey loves, pear-ginger bread, lemon & pine nut polenta cookies and ricotta cheesecakes. You can find scones, muffins, and rolls at near any corner bakery, but it's rare that you'll come across sage/rosemary/basil-honey loves!
We decided to walk over to Zabar's after breakfast, get some fresh air, and perhaps burn off a few unnecessary calories.
Burn off? Well we burned off maybe one or two crossing a couple avenues…but we piled it all back on as we passed the front doors and fell into the temptation of Grom.
If you don't know about Grom already, read more on it here, here and here. As you can see, there is much to be expected!
I've only sampled Grom once before, and that was when I took a spoonful out of Shann's order. I recall thinking it was very nice, though far from spectacular. So I figured I give it a try for myself today. The pristine clean shop was completely empty as we entered and debated over the variety of flavours. One thing that bothers me about this place is that they cover the gelato so that you cannot actually see the gelato itself. Just metal. And the tag reading the various flavour names. But you cannot see the gelato! Why hide it? :(
I handed over five dollars and some change for a small cup – the most I've ever paid for gelato. But if it's good, it'll be worth it right? That's a scoop of the Marron Glaces to the left and Green Tea to the right. Easy on the eyes. The Marron Glaces was somewhat of let down, for it tasted of a bland vanilla gelato with super tiny nidbits of candied chestnuts. No complaints on the texture, smooth with a creamy mouthfeel. I moved on to the Green Tea.
Oh god. It was terrible. The Green Tea. It was gritty. Sandy. Have you ever had gritty gelato? I pray that you never will. The flavour itself was nice, if not mild and pedestrian, but at least the matcha taste was clear. But…SANDY? It was as if the granulated sugar did not dissolve in the process…or something. But. Yes. The Grom Green Tea gelato was gritty. It was disgusting. You never walk into a gelateria expecting a gritty scoop, and you most certainly would never in your right mind pay over $5 for below average gelato. Most other people seem to have had better, or even incredible experiences at Grom. Has something happened since they first opened? Was it an 'off' day? I sure hope so. Such ridiculously poor quality was completely unexpected.
Shravani's Nougat and Gianduja fared better, but I was so letdown/surprised by how disappointing my order was that I did not focus too much on hers. Bah. Am going elsewhere for my gelato fix.
I tried to mend my broken gelato spirits in the busy aisles of Zabars, basking in the glow of apple-cheese strudels, chocolate babka, and a bounty of rugelach. We browsed though buckets of olives, a befuddling variety of cheeses (the burrata looked especially nice!), and went upstairs to oogle kitchen timers and madeline pans.
Zabar's on Weekends = Madhouse
The day was bright, cool with a light breeze, sun shining straight down and not a cloud in the air. We browsed a wide selection of books from vendors laid out along Broadway from 83rd St all the way down to 72nd. Save for the gritty gelato, the day was good.
We parted ways post-Grom & Zabars, and I went off to do some work and a bit of what I call 'organizing my life'. I love organizing my life, which might sound a little crazy, but it is lack of organization which drives me crazy.
Saturday Night
Robyn came over to the apartment for dinner, where we feasted on spam musubis (Robyn's first ever!) and mochi doughnuts she brought over from a bakery in K-town. I didn't take pictures from our musubi-making night, the lighting in my apartment is pretty awful…BUT! Robyn took photos, and hopefully it will be up on her Flickr soon.
(Edit: Robyn posted! Notice her MAGIC with photos. My apartment was dark at the time of musubi making, but it looks like daylight in her pictures! :) My favourites: TOWER OF MUSUBIS…and ROBYN HAZ LAU LAU).
Later on in the night, we headed to L'Arte del Gelato in the West Village, by far my favourite gelato place in the city. Yes, I did have gelato just a few hours before. But because it was quite awful gelato, I saw no harm in yet a second, hopefully redeeming dose for the day!
L'Arte del Gelato, much like Arte Around the Corner always makes me happy. For a month or so back in November I'd visit L'Arte at least twice a week just cause it was soooo awesome. I've never been disappointed here, and it seems to taste better with every visit. Pricewise, L'Arte is just a negligible $.50 less than Grom, but the quality is a million times more dependable.
We each opted for the Pistachio, and while Robyn picked Lemon Sorbet as her second flavour, I went with the Stracciatella. We took our gelatos to a table and ate. Oooooh. Geezus, the L'Arte del Gelato's gelato was a world apart from whatever it was that I had at Grom in the morning. The pistachio tasted like as if they had churned pistachio into a creamy rich butter, heavenly on the tongue.
The thing about the flavours here is that they taste so honest, and pure. That thought was further confirmed halfway though our cups as the owner brought over two sample spoons filled with the banana gelato with speckles of chocolate. OMG. Gaaah. HOW COME SO GOOD?! (Insert Intense Drooling). Like perfectly ripe bananas in the form of gelato. Silvers of dark chocolate, just so that they melt on your tongue the moment it hits. The same goes for the chocolate in the Stracciatella, the chocolate shavings nestled in simple, unadulterated vanilla gelato. It tastes whole. And clean. And just the way gelato should. They don't mess around here. The people are always so nice, and more than happy let you sample flavours. But most importantly, you're paying for an excellent product.
So. For the record. As far as my books go, Grom = NO. L'Arte del Gelato = Yes, please!
Mighty content, and glad to have ended the day on a happy note, Robyn and I wandered around the West Village, poking into various supermarkets and pausing to look at many restaurant menus. We each went home later in the night, and I tucked to sleep well past midnight, quite satisfied with the day.
Sunday = Cave Day
Sunday, as long time readers are aware, are my cave days, and so I went about my meanderings today, doing the things I do…running errands, drooling over lovely home furnishings for the apartment I do not yet own, and people watching.
I popped into Joe's on 13th Street between afternoon Open House visits for a cup of coffee and muffin.
I've always relied on Joe's for consistently delicious muffins, and thus was sorely disappointed by today's blueberry muffin. Strangely spongy with a stingy bits of blueberries smashed up on the bottom left of the muffin, it left much to be desired. The saddest part was the crumb topping, light, and near tasteless, it barely bound to the muffin, and proved to serve only for visual appeal.
As I drank the coffee I could not help my let my mind wander back to yesterday morning with Shravani, more specifically to that book we spotted outside Zabars. I wanted a copy of Secret Ingredients since it first came out, but didn't want to pay the list price. I could get it cheaper on Amazon or at Strand…but still…The vendor selling books right outside Zabar's had it for $20, which is pretty good, but $20 is a bit much to spend on an everyday reading book. I hemmed and hawed a bit yesterday, but decided against it.
The book guy in front of Zabar's
But. But like my food cravings, my book cravings are never satisfied till I have either eaten the food or own the book. And such was the case. So I dashed up to the Upper West Side on a quick whim and, lucky me, the book was still there. $20 poorer, but much happier, I can finally call the book my own.
I tend to be pretty good controlling my spending habits, but like many of us, I do have a few weaknesses when it comes to money management: baked goods, food literature, and black dresses. Only three vices. I think that is fair ;)
I still haven't finished The Gospel of Food, which I bought only a few days ago…and with the busy tax season at work…I'll pray for more subway delays so I can have more time to sit and read the books while waiting for the ever slow F train.

Our wallets normally downsize after spending some quality time and money at the local shopping mall. Zoomingo wants to change that.
The mobile application that discovers discounts on clothing, jewelry, handbags and other items at thousands of local retail establishments has released an Android update that allows shoppers to find the best deals by mall location. A virtual geofence notifies users when they are near a mall, and once there, users can play a "Spin N' Win" game for a chance at a $50 daily cash prize and earn points toward a weekly prize.
This is somewhat similar of Zoomingo's "Hot or Not" game, which was released in June and allows you rate the deals for a chance to win weekly prizes.
The update will also seek out Black Friday deals throughout the month as they become available. Also new is a "Best of Pinterest," where Zoomingo identifies the most popular pinned items on Pinterest from all the top retailers.
It's the latest rendition to the successful app started by CEO Shirish Nadkarni last year. Nadkarni, a well-known Seattle entrepreneur who previously co-founded Livemocha and TeamOn Systems, told GeekWire that Zoomingo is experiencing 100 percent quarter-over-quarter growth and has reached 500,000 users and 1.3 million total items in its database. Nadkarni raised $1.3 million from Benaroya Capital and others last fall.
The app is currently in the top ten for its category in the Apple AppStore and a featured app on Google Play. The company also released an Android app specifically built for tablets last month.
I downloaded the app, titled "Local & Black Friday Deals," and played around with it. Logging in with my Facebook got me 1,000 points and I immediately racked up more points by playing "Hot or Not." Man, I love points.
The app itself is easy to use and pretty robust. I love the "recent price drops," section and how you can search all sorts of brick-and-mortar stores and see what's on sale. So much for going through Sunday's newspaper browsing for coupons and good deals — this is the future of bargain-hunting.

The young king's dark skin must have only highlighted the corded muscle that lay beneath it as he approached the first of the Norwegian villages. To say the least, the villagers were made anxious by the arrival of Harald Bluetooth, the man who would be their king. They were wary of the Viking reputation for making their women swoon, and fearful of their prowess and ferocity in battle.
Fortunately, Bluetooth, the eponymous wireless networking technology, leaves little for contractors to fear — even those just a barbarian's row from Scandinavia.
At first glance, a technology that is based on eliminating wires might seem dangerous to those who deal in wire and cable. But, rather than a technological marauder, Bluetooth may turn out to be a business opportunity for electrical contractors.
Bluetooth is a technological specification involving a 2.45 GHz radio that allows various devices to share data and communicate over about a 30-foot radius. Bluetooth is also the name of a consortium of companies that collaborated to include these radio devices in the manufacturing of their products. These companies deal in mobile phones, computers and many other applications of a wireless network for homes and offices.
Howard Dulany, marketing manager for wireless products, mobile computing for IBM's personal systems group, Raleigh, N.C., describes Bluetooth as "an inexpensive way to network devices and computers and different things." The elimination of wires and the automatic synchronization of data within multiple devices amounts to the greater simplicity that Dulany said will come from wireless networking.
Although Bluetooth has the potential to be expanded beyond its small radius, the good news for contractors is that since Bluetooth isn't designed to link entire campuses or skyscrapers, new buildings will still be supplied with fiber-optic and telephone wire.
"All Bluetooth is doing is really replacing the last few feet. Bluetooth's primary focus is to simplify connecting local devices," Dulany said.
The biggest headache Bluetooth could relieve might be the connecting of those devices in older buildings.
"Where (wireless networks) are really great — where they're taking off — is in things like schools. Older buildings are difficult-to-wire environments," Dulany said. "You don't want to rip out walls to (put in) cable."
From Dulany's perspective in the mobile-computing industry, the excitement is focused on being able to uplink instantly and unconsciously with new people in new places.
"The most exciting thing for me is to be able to come into a place and be able to automatically be connected to any devices I need to communicate with," Dulany said.
But even for one person connecting his or her own devices, possibilities abound. A mobile phone with a Bluetooth chip built inside could double as a home phone as well, given the technology's ability to instantly uplink to a home phone line.
Other home simplification applications include the virtual elimination of the need for ports in computers. Picture files can be instantly uploaded from digital cameras; headsets can be totally wireless. Surfing the Web can be done from a laptop or handheld device at the kitchen table or on the couch. Peripheral devices won't be limited to the number of ports you have, or by the length of wire you have. "I'll put the printer wherever it's easiest to put the printer. I won't have to worry about snaking cables or how long they have to be," Dulany said.
Although the current market is small, there is a possibility that wireless networking could become at least a partial alternative to physically wiring buildings in the future.
"I don't think (Bluetooth) is meant to be a replacement for wiring. (But) there are other products that are aimed specifically at replacing wiring," said Frank McGhee, vice president of business development in the home communications business unit for Ericsson, Lynchburg, Va.
802.11b technology, which functions on the same radio frequency as Bluetooth, can be applied to larger areas than Bluetooth through its base stations or cells. 802.11b also carries a higher data transfer rate of 11 megabits/second. Future versions of this technology could push 54 megabits/second, which could be serious competition for fiber-optic wire, McGhee said.
"If I were (a distributor) I would get involved in the wireless LAN (local area networks) market, and installing and deploying those," he said. "Because you're still going to have to have people who can go in and install those and connect all the different base stations together, because it is still a network."
This wireless revolution could eventually usher in new markets for distributors who would carry the components required for this technology. Forward-looking wholesalers are firm believers. "It's an evolution of the market to go to products like that," said Andy Jones, director of electrical contracting sales for Accu-Tech Corp., Roswell, Ga. "Of course we hate to hear about people not putting cable in."
There are now Bluetooth components that distributors could potentially carry. PC cards that enable current personal computers to use Bluetooth technology are already on the market. Though it seems unlikely, if data communication wire were to disappear in the future, distributors might still find a new product in wireless technologies. Regardless of the happenings with the rest of the industry, Bluetooth would seem to be less of a grizzly, Scandinavian adversary than its namesake.

Howe, Pimentel Two-Time All-Americans as Tritons Wrap Up NCAA Championships
Related Links
ALLENDALE, Mich. - UC San Diego juniors Nash Howe and Sabrina Pimentel each earned All-America distinction for the second time in their careers on the third and final day of the 2014 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Championships at the Grand Valley State University Track & Field Stadium Saturday.
The meet was co-hosted by GVSU and the West Michigan Sports Commission. UCSD had a total of five student-athletes present.
Howe, out of Aptos (Aptos HS), placed sixth in the javelin, the first event of Saturday's slate. Pimentel, a Westminster native (Westminster HS), later crossed the finish line in eighth in the final of the 800 meters. The Triton duo had previous top-eight efforts at nationals of seventh for Howe in the javelin a year ago, and seventh for Pimentel in the 4x400 relay as a freshman in 2012, both in Pueblo, Colo.
Howe's initial toss was his best, achieving a distance of 211'0". That mark was good enough to gain him three final attempts after his preliminary three. Howe had entered as the narrow top seed with his personal-record heave of 229'3" from the San Diego Collegiate Challenge at home on March 15.
Alaska Anchorage junior Franz Burghagen, the No. 2 seed just behind Howe, finished second (222'7") behind Slippery Rock sophomore David Reinhardt (225'10"). Howe, the two-time reigning California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) javelin champion, was second behind Burghagen after the first of two flights, and fifth after the second flight, with the top nine heading into finals. He was unable to improve on that first toss over his final three, while CCAA foe Matthew Horsfall of Humboldt State eclipsed him with a 216'7" on his fifth try.
Junior teammate Anthony Capitulo, a transfer from College of San Mateo, improved three spots on his No. 20 seed (201'2") out of 20 javelin competitors in all, and finished 17th with a mark of 192'6". That distance came on the second of his three attempts.
Pimentel timed 2:11.02 and stayed put having posted the eighth-fastest preliminary time of 2:09.31 on Friday. She led around the midway mark Saturday before falling back. It was redemption for Pimentel, who was in the same position a year ago in Colorado and placed ninth (2:13.35) in the final to miss out on All-America. She entered this meet as the No. 10 seed out of 22 racers, on the strength of her school-record mark of 2:09.07. Seattle Pacific senior McKayla Fricker won in 2:06.18.

|MySQL Community Server 5.6.3 has been released (part 2 - bug fixes)
|View as plain text
Dear MySQL users, This is the list of bug fixes. For the functional enhancements, see part 1 of this mail: Bugs fixed: * Incompatible Change: For socket I/O, an optimization for the case when the server used alarms for timeouts could cause a slowdown when socket timeouts were used instead. The fix for this issue results in several changes: + Previously, timeouts applied to entire packet-level send or receive operations. Now timeouts apply to individual I/O operations at a finer level, such as sending 10 bytes of a given packet. + The handling of packets larger than max_allowed_packet has changed. Previously, if an application sent a packet bigger than the maximum permitted size, or if the server failed to allocate a buffer sufficiently large to hold the packet, the server kept reading the packet until its end, then skipped it and returned an ER_NET_PACKET_TOO_LARGE error. Now the server disconnects the session if it cannot handle such large packets. + On Windows, the default value for the MYSQL_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT option to mysql_options() is no longer 20 seconds. Now the default is no timeout (infinite), the same as on other platforms. + Building and running MySQL on POSIX systems now requires support for poll() and O_NONBLOCK. These should be available on any modern POSIX system. (Bug #54790, Bug #11762221, Bug #36225, Bug #11762221) * InnoDB Storage Engine: Replication: Trying to update a column, previously set to NULL, of an InnoDB table with no primary key caused replication to fail with Can't find record in 'table' on the slave. (Bug #11766865, Bug #60091) * InnoDB Storage Engine: A failed CREATE INDEX operation for an InnoDB table could result in some memory being allocated but not freed. This memory leak could affect tables created with the ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC or ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED setting. (Bug #12699505) * InnoDB Storage Engine: Stability is improved when using BLOB values within InnoDB tables in a heavily loaded system, especially for tables using the ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC or ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED setting. (Bug #12612184) * InnoDB Storage Engine: The server could halt if InnoDB interpreted a very heavy I/O load for 15 minutes or more as an indication that the server was hung. This change fixes the logic that measures how long InnoDB threads were waiting, which formerly could produce false positives. (Bug #11877216, Bug #11755413, Bug #47183) * InnoDB Storage Engine: With the setting lower_case_table_names=2, inserts into InnoDB tables covered by foreign key constraints could fail after a server restart. (Bug #11831040, Bug #60196, Bug #60909) * InnoDB Storage Engine: If the server crashed while an XA transaction was prepared but not yet committed, the transaction could remain in the system after restart, and cause a subsequent shutdown to hang. (Bug #11766513, Bug #59641) * InnoDB Storage Engine: With the setting lower_case_table_names=2, inserts into InnoDB tables covered by foreign key constraints could fail after a server restart. This is a similar problem to the foreign key error in Bug #11831040 / Bug #60196 / Bug #60909, but with a different root cause and occurring on Mac OS X. * Partitioning: The internal get_partition_set() function did not take into account the possibility that a key specification could be NULL in some cases. (Bug #12380149) * Partitioning: When executing a row-ordered retrieval index merge, the partitioning handler used memory from that allocated for the table, rather than that allocated to the query, causing table object memory not to be freed until the table was closed. (Bug #11766249, Bug #59316) * Partitioning: Attempting to use ALTER TABLE ... EXCHANGE PARTITION to exchange a view with a (nonexistent) partition of a table that was not partitioned caused the server to crash. (Bug #11766232, Bug #60039) * Partitioning: Auto-increment columns of partitioned tables were checked even when they were not being written to. In debug builds, this could lead to a server crash. (Bug #11765667, Bug #58655) * Partitioning: The UNIX_TIMESTAMP() function was not treated as a monotonic function for purposes of partition pruning. (Bug #11746819, Bug #28928) * Replication: A mistake in thread cleanup could cause a replication master to crash. (Bug #12578441) * Replication: When using row-based replication and attribute promotion or demotion (see Section 18.104.22.168.2, "Replication of Columns Having Different Data Types"), memory allocated internally for conversion of BLOB columns was not freed afterwards. (Bug #12558519) * Replication: A memory leak could occur when re-creating a missing master info repository, because a new I/O cache used for a reference to the repository was re-created when the repository was re-created, but the previous cache was never removed. (Bug #12557307) * Replication: A race condition could occur between a user thread and the SQL thread when both tried to read the same memory before its value was safely set. This issue has now been corrected. In addition, internal functions relating to creation of and appending to log events, when storing data, used memory local to the functions which was freed when the functions returned. As part of the fix for this problem, the output of SHOW SLAVE STATUS has been modified such that it no longer refers to files or file names in the accompanying status message, but rather contains one of the messages Making temporary file (append) before replaying LOAD DATA INFILE or Making temporary file (create) before replaying LOAD DATA INFILE. (Bug #12416611) * Replication: The name of the Ssl_verify_server_cert column in the mysql.slave_master_info table was misspelled as Ssl_verify_servert_cert. (Bug #12407446, Bug #60988) * Replication: When mysqlbinlog was invoked using --base64-output=decode-row and --start-position=pos, (where pos is a point in the binary log past the format description log event), a spurious error of the type shown here was generated: malformed binlog: it does not contain any Format_description_log_event... However, since there is nothing unsafe about not printing the format description log event, the error has been removed for this case. (Bug #12354268) * Replication: A failed CREATE USER statement was mistakenly written to the binary log. (Bug #11827392, Bug #60082) * Replication: It is no longer possible to change the storage engine used by the mysql.slave_master_info and mysql.slave_relay_log_info tables while replication is running. This means that, to make replication crash-safe, you must make sure that both of these tables use a transactional storage engine before starting replication. For more information, see Section 15.2.2, "Replication Relay and Status Logs," and Section 184.108.40.206, "Options for logging slave status to tables." (Bug #11765887, Bug #58897) * Replication: A transaction was written to the binary log even when it did not update any nontransactional tables. (Bug #11763471, Bug #56184) See also Bug #11763126, Bug #55789. * Replication: mysqlbinlog using the --raw option did not function correctly with binary logs from MySQL Server versions 5.0.3 and earlier. (Bug #11763265, Bug #55956) * Replication: Retrying a transaction on the slave could insert extra data into nontransactional tables. (Bug #11763126, Bug #55789) See also Bug #11763471, Bug #56184. * Replication: Typographical errors appeared in the text of several replication error messages. (The word "position" was misspelled as "postion".) (Bug #11762616, Bug #55229) * Replication: Temporary deadlocks in the slave SQL thread could cause unnecessary Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction error messages to be logged on the slave. Now in such cases, only a warning is logged unless slave_transaction_retries has been exceeded by the number of such warnings for a given transaction. (Bug #11748510, Bug #36524) * Replication: When a slave requested a binary log file which did not exist on master, the slave continued to request the file regardless. This caused the slave's error log to be flooded with low-level EE_FILENOTFOUND errors (error code 29) from the master. (Bug #11745939, Bug #21437) * mysqld_safe ignored any value of plugin_dir specified in my.cnf files. (Bug #12925024) * Partitioning: A problem with a previous fix for poor performance of INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE statements on tables having many partitions caused the handler function for reading a row from a specific index to fail to store the ID of the partition last used. This caused some statements to fail with Can't find record errors. (Bug #59297, Bug #11766232) * The metadata locking subsystem added too much overhead for INFORMATION_SCHEMA queries that were processed by opening only .frm or .TRG files and had to scan many tables. For example, SELECT COUNT(*) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TRIGGERS was affected. (Bug #12828477) * The result for ANY subqueries with nested joins could be missing rows. (Bug #12795555) * Compilation failed on Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) with a warning: Implicit declaration of function 'pthread_init' (Bug #12779790) * With profiling disabled or not compiled in, set_thd_proc_info() unnecessarily checked file name lengths. (Bug #12756017) * Compiling the server with maintainer mode enabled failed for gcc 4.6 or higher. (Bug #12727287) * Selecting SUM() combined with STRAIGHT_JOIN could produce an incomplete result set. (Bug #12699645) * For prepared statements, an OK could be sent to the client if the prepare failed due to being killed. (Bug #12661349) * Some Valgrind warnings were corrected: + For the SUBSTRING(), LEFT(), RIGHT(), LPAD(), RPAD(), and REPEAT() functions, a missing NULL value check was corrected. + For the LIKE operator, an attempt to use an uninitialized string buffer in the case of an empty wildcard was corrected. (Bug #12634989, Bug #59851, Bug #11766684) * Adding support for Windows authentication to libmysql introduced a link dependency on the system Secur32 library. The Microsoft Visual C++ link information now pulls in this library automatically. (Bug #12612143) * With index condition pushdown enabled, a crash could occur due to an invalid end-of-range value. (Bug #12601961) * The option-parsing code for empty strings leaked memory. (Bug #12589928) * Killing certain statements could make the server unresponsive. (Bug #12567331) * The server could fail to free allocated memory when INSERT DELAYED was used with binary logging enabled. (Bug #12538873) * A DBUG_ASSERT added by Bug #11792200 was overly aggressive in raising assertions. (Bug #12537160) * In some cases, memory allocated for Query_tables_list::sroutines() was not freed properly. (Bug #12429877) * After the fix for Bug #11889186, MAKEDATE() arguments with a year part greater than 9999 raised an assertion. (Bug #12403504) * An assertion could be raised due to a missing NULL value check in Item_func_round::fix_length_and_dec(). (Bug #12392636) * Assignments to NEW.var_name within triggers, where var_name had a BLOB or TEXT type, were not properly handled and produced incorrect results. (Bug #12362125) * An assertion could be raised if Index Condition Pushdown code pushed down an index condition containing a subquery. (Bug #12355958) * XA COMMIT could fail to clean up the error state if it discovered that the current XA transaction had to be rolled back. Consequently, the next XA transaction could raise an assertion when it checked for proper cleanup of the previous transaction. (Bug #12352846) * An assertion could be raised during two-phase commits if the binary log was used as the transaction coordinator log. (Bug #12346411) * InnoDB could add temporary index information to INFORMATION_SCHEMA, which could raise an assertion. (Bug #12340873) * On Windows, the server rejected client connections if no DNS server was available. (Bug #12325375) * A too-strict assertion could cause a server crash. (Bug #12321461) * mysql_upgrade did not properly upgrade the authentication_string column of the mysql.user table. (Bug #11936829) * The optimizer sometimes chose a forward index scan followed by a filesort to reserve the order rather than scanning the index in reverse order. (Bug #11882131) * Previously, an inappropriate error message was produced if a multiple-table update for an InnoDB table with a clustered primary key would update a table through multiple aliases, and perform an update that may physically move the row in at least one of these aliases. Now the error message is: Primary key/partition key update is not permitted since the table is updated both as 'tbl_name1' and 'tbl_name2' (Bug #11882110) See also Bug #11764529. * Queries that used STRAIGHT_JOIN on data that included NULL values could return incorrect results if index condition pushdown was enabled. (Bug #11873324) * InnoDB invoked some zlib functions without proper initialization. (Bug #11849231) * Division of large numbers could cause stack corruption. (Bug #11792200) * CHECK TABLE and REPAIR TABLE failed to find problems with MERGE tables that had underlying tables missing or with the wrong storage engine. Issues were reported only for the first underlying table. (Bug #11754210) * Replication: If a LOAD DATA INFILE statement---replicated using statement-based replication---featured a SET clause, the name-value pairs were regenerated using a method (Item::print()) intended primarily for generating output for statements such as EXPLAIN EXTENDED, and which cannot be relied on to return valid SQL. This could in certain cases lead to a crash on the slave. To fix this problem, the server now names each value in its original, user-supplied form, and uses that to create LOAD DATA INFILE statements for statement-based replication. (Bug #60580, Bug #11902767) See also Bug #34283, Bug #11752526, Bug #43746. * Replication: Error 1590 (ER_SLAVE_INCIDENT) caused the slave to stop even when it was started with --slave-skip-errors=1590. (Bug #59889, Bug #11768580, Bug #11799671) * Replication: Using the --server-id option with mysqlbinlog could cause format description log events to be filtered from the binary log, leaving mysqlbinlog unable to read the remainder of the log. Now such events are always read without regard to the value of this option. As part of the the fix for this problem, mysqlbinlog now also reads rotate log events without regard to the value of --server-id. (Bug #59530, Bug #11766427) * Replication: A failed DROP DATABASE statement could break statement-based replication. (Bug #58381, Bug #11765416) * Replication: Processing of corrupted table map events could cause the server to crash. This was especially likely if the events mapped different tables to the same identifier, such as could happen due to Bug#56226. Now, before applying a table map event, the server checks whether the table has already been mapped with different settings, and if so, an error is raised and the slave SQL thread stops. If it has been mapped with the same settings, or if the table is set to be ignored by filtering rules, there is no change in behavior: the event is skipped and IDs are not checked. (Bug #44360, Bug #11753004) See also Bug #11763509. * (5 DIV 2) and (5.0 DIV 2) produced different results (2 versus 3) because the result of the latter expression was not truncated before conversion to integer. This differed from the behavior in MySQL 5.0 and 5.1. Now both expressions produce 2. (Bug #61676, Bug #12711164) * The server failed to compile if partitioning support was disabled. (Bug #61625, Bug #12694147) * ALTER TABLE {MODIFY|CHANGE} ... FIRST did nothing except rename columns if the old and new versions of the table had exactly the same structure with respect to column data types. As a result, the mapping of column name to column data was incorrect. The same thing happened for ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN ... ADD COLUMN statements intended to produce a new version of the table with exactly the same structure as the old version. (Bug #61493, Bug #12652385) * Incorrect handling of metadata locking for FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK for statements requiring prelocking caused two problems: + Execution of any data-changing statement that required prelocking (that is, involved a stored function or trigger) as part of a transaction slowed down somewhat all subsequent statements in the transaction. Performance in a transaction that periodically involved such statements gradually degraded over time. + Execution of any data-changing statement that required prelocking as part of a transaction prevented a concurrent FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK from proceeding until the end of the transaction rather than at the end of the particular statement. (Bug #61401, Bug #12641342) * A problem introduced in 5.5.11 caused very old (MySQL 4.0) clients to be unable to connect to the server. (Bug #61222, Bug #12563279) * The fractional part of the "Queries per second" value could be displayed incorrectly in MySQL status output (for example, in the output from mysqladmin status or the mysql STATUS command). (Bug #61205, Bug #12565712) * The mysql-log-rotate script was updated because it referred to deprecated MySQL options. (Bug #61038, Bug #12546842) * Using CREATE EVENT IF NOT EXISTS for an event that already existed and was enabled caused multiple instances of the event to run. (Bug #61005, Bug #12546938) * If a statement ended with mismatched quotes, the server accepted the statement and interpreted whatever was after the initial quote as a text string. (Bug #60993, Bug #12546960) * LOAD DATA INFILE incorrectly parsed relative data file path names that ascended more than three levels in the file system and as a consequence was unable to find the file. (Bug #60987, Bug #12403662) * Table I/O for the Performance Schema table_io_waits_summary_by_index_usage table was counted as using no index for UPDATE and DELETE statements, even when an index was used. (Bug #60905, Bug #12370950) * An internal client macro reference was removed from the client_plugin.h header file. This reference made the file unusable. (Bug #60746, Bug #12325444) * Comparison of a DATETIME stored program variable and NOW() led to an "Illegal mix of collations error" when character_set_connection was set to utf8. (Bug #60625, Bug #11926811) * Selecting from a view for which the definition included a HAVING clause failed with an error: 1356: View '...' references invalid table(s) or column(s) or function(s) or definer/invoker of view lack rights to use them (Bug #60295, Bug #11829681) * CREATE TABLE syntax permits specification of a STORAGE {DEFAULT|DISK|MEMORY} option. However, this value was not written to the .frm file, so that a subsequent CREATE TABLE ... LIKE for the table did not include that option. Also, ALTER TABLE of a table that had a tablespace incorrectly destroyed the tablespace. (Bug #60111, Bug #11766883, Bug #34047, Bug #11747789) * The mysql_load_client_plugin() C API function did not clear the previous error. (Bug #60075, Bug #11766854) * For repeated invocation of some stored procedures, the server consumed memory that it did not release until the connection terminated. (Bug #60025, Bug #11848763) * The server permitted max_allowed_packet to be set lower than net_buffer_length, which does not make sense because max_allowed_packet is the upper limit on net_buffer_length values. Now a warning occurs and the value remains unchanged. (Bug #59959, Bug #11766769) * The server did not check for certain invalid out of order sequences of XA statements, and these sequences raised an assertion. (Bug #59936, Bug #11766752, Bug #12348348) * For unknown users, the native password plugin reported incorrectly that no password had been specified even when it had. (Bug #59792, Bug #11766641) * SELECT DISTINCT with a deterministic stored function in the WHERE clause could produce incorrect results. (Bug #59736, Bug #11766594) * Setting optimizer_join_cache_level to 3 or greater raised an assertion for some queries. (Bug #59651, Bug #11766522) * Previously, Performance Schema table columns that held byte counts were BIGINT UNSIGNED. These were changed to BIGINT (signed). This makes it easier to perform calculations that compute differences between columns. (Bug #59631, Bug #11766504) * A missing variable initialization for Item_func_set_user_var objects could raise an assertion. (Bug #59527, Bug #11766424) * For some queries, the optimizer performed range analysis too many times for the same index. (Bug #59415, Bug #11766327) * With the conversion from GNU autotools to CMake for configuring MySQL, the USE_SYMDIR preprocessor symbol was omitted. This caused failure of symbolic links (described at Section 220.127.116.11, "Using Symbolic Links"). (Bug #59408, Bug #11766320) * An incorrect max_length value for YEAR values could be used in temporary result tables for UNION, leading to incorrect results. (Bug #59343, Bug #11766270) * In Item_func_in::fix_length_and_dec(), a Valgrind warning for uninitialized values was corrected. (Bug #59270, Bug #11766212) * An invalid pathname argument for the --defaults-extra-file option of MySQL programs caused a program crash. (Bug #59234, Bug #11766184) * In Item_func_month::val_str(), a Valgrind warning for a too-late NULL value check was corrected. (Bug #59166, Bug #11766126) * In Item::get_date, a Valgrind warning for a missing NULL value check was corrected. (Bug #59164, Bug #11766124) * In extract_date_time(), a Valgrind warning for a missing end-of-string check was corrected. (Bug #59151, Bug #11766112) * Some tables were not instrumented by the Performance Schema even though they were listed in the setup_objects table. (Bug #59150, Bug #11766111) * In string context, the MIN() and MAX() functions did not take into account the unsignedness of a BIGINT UNSIGNED argument. (Bug #59132, Bug #11766094) * In Item_func::val_decimal, a Valgrind warning for a missing NULL value check was corrected. (Bug #59125, Bug #11766087) * On Windows, the authentication_string column recently added to the mysql.user table caused the Configuration Wizard to fail. (Bug #59038, Bug #11766011) * In ROUND() calculations, a Valgrind warning for uninitialized memory was corrected. (Bug #58937, Bug #11765923) * The range created by the optimizer when OR-ing two conditions could be incorrect, causing incorrect query results. (Bug #58834, Bug #11765831) * Valgrind warnings caused by comparing index values to an uninitialized field were corrected. (Bug #58705, Bug #11765713) * As a side effect of optimizing condition AND TRUE or condition OR FALSE, MySQL for certain subqueries forgot that the columns used by the condition needed to be read, which raised an assertion in debug builds. (Bug #58690, Bug #11765699) * CREATE TRIGGER and DROP TRIGGER can change the prelocking list of stored routines, but the routine cache did not detect such changes, resulting in routine execution with an inaccurate locking list. (Bug #58674, Bug #11765684) * In Item_func_str_to_date::val_str, a Valgrind warning for an uninitialized variable was corrected. (Bug #58154, Bug #11765216) * The code for PROCEDURE ANALYSE() had a missing DBUG_RETURN statement, which could cause a server crash in debug builds. (Bug #58140, Bug #11765202) * LOAD DATA INFILE errors could leak I/O cache memory. (Bug #58072, Bug #11765141) * For LOAD DATA INFILE, multibyte character sequences could be pushed onto a stack too small to accommodate them. (Bug #58069, Bug #11765139) * The embedded server crashed when argc = 0. (Bug #57931, Bug #12561297) * An assertion could be raised in Item_func_int_val::fix_num_length_and_dec() due to overflow for geometry functions. (Bug #57900, Bug #11764994) * An assertion was raised if a statement tried to upgrade a metadata lock while there was an active FLUSH TABLE tbl_list WITH READ LOCK statement. Now if a statement tries to upgrade a metadata lock in this situation, the server returns an ER_TABLE_NOT_LOCKED_FOR_WRITE error to the client. (Bug #57649, Bug #11764779) * The optimizer sometimes requested ordered access from a storage engine when ordered access was not required. (Bug #57601, Bug #11764737) * An embedded client aborted rather than issuing an error message if it issued a TEE command (\T file_name) and the directory containing the file did not exist. This occurred because the wrong error handler was called. (Bug #57491, Bug #11764633) * ALTER EVENT could change the event status. (Bug #57156, Bug #11764334) * For an outer join with a NOT IN subquery in the WHERE clause, a null left operand to the NOT IN returned was treated differently than a literal NULL operand. (Bug #56881, Bug #11764086) * Threads blocked in the waiting for table metadata state were not visible in performance_schema.THREADS or SHOW PROFILE. (Bug #56475, Bug #11763728) * With prepared statements, the server could attempt to send result set metadata after the table had been closed. (Bug #56115, Bug #11763413) * Table objects associated with one session's optimizer structures could be closed after being passed to another session, prematurely ending the second session's table or index scan. (Bug #56080, Bug #11763382) * In some cases, SHOW WARNINGS returned an empty result when the previous statement failed. (Bug #55847, Bug #11763166) * A handled condition (error or warning) could be shown as not handled at the end of the statement. (Bug #55843, Bug #11763162) * In debug builds, Field_new_decimal::store_value() was subject to buffer overflows. (Bug #55436, Bug #11762799) * For an InnoDB table, dropping and adding an index in a single ALTER TABLE statement could fail. (Bug #54927, Bug #11762345) * For a client connected using SSL, the Ssl_cipher_list status variable was empty and did not show the possible cipher types. (Bug #52596, Bug #11760210) * The mysql client sometimes did not properly close sessions terminated by the user with Control+C. (Bug #52515, Bug #11760134) * CREATE TABLE ... LIKE for a MyISAM table definition that included an DATA DIRECTORY or INDEX DIRECTORY table option failed, instead of creating a table with those option omitted as documented. (Bug #52354, Bug #11759990) * Attempts to grant the EXECUTE or ALTER ROUTINE privilege for a nonexistent stored procedure returned success instead of an error. (Bug #51401, Bug #11759114) * With lower_case_table_names=2, resolution of objects qualified by database names could fail. (Bug #50924, Bug #11758687) * CREATE TABLE without an ENGINE option determined the default engine at parse rather than execution time. This led to incorrect results if the statement was executed within a stored program and the default engine had been changed in the meantime. (Bug #50614, Bug #11758414) * On Linux, the mysql client built using the bundled libedit did not read ~/.editrc. (Bug #49967, Bug #11757855) * For some statements such as DESCRIBE or SHOW, views with too many columns produced errors. (Bug #49437, Bug #11757397) * The optimizer sometimes incorrectly processed HAVING clauses for queries that did not also have an ORDER BY clause. (Bug #48916, Bug #11756928) * PROCEDURE ANALYZE() could leak memory for NULL results, and could return incorrect results if used with a LIMIT clause. (Bug #48137, Bug #11756242) * A race condition between loading a stored routine using the name qualified by the database name and dropping that database resulted in a spurious error message: The table mysql.proc is missing, corrupt, or contains bad data (Bug #47870, Bug #11756013) * When used to upgrade tables, mysqlcheck (and mysql_upgrade, which invokes mysqlcheck) did not upgrade some tables for which table repair was found to be necessary. In particular, it failed to upgrade InnoDB tables that needed repair, leaving them in a nonupgraded state. This occurred because: + mysqlcheck --check-upgrade ---auto-repair checks for tables that are incompatible with the current version of MySQL. It does this by issuing the CHECK TABLE ... FOR UPGRADE statement and examining the result. + For any table found to be incompatible, mysqlcheck issues a REPAIR TABLE statement. But this fails for storage engines such as InnoDB that do not support the repair operation. Consequently, the table remained unchanged. To fix the problem, the following changes were made to CHECK TABLE ... FOR UPGRADE and mysqlcheck. Because mysql_upgrade invokes mysqlcheck, these changes also fix the problem for mysql_upgrade. + CHECK TABLE ... FOR UPGRADE returns a different error if a table needs repair but its storage engine does not support REPAIR TABLE: Previous: Error: ER_TABLE_NEEDS_UPGRADE Table upgrade required. Please do "REPAIR TABLE `tbl_name`" or dump/reload to fix it! Now: Error: ER_TABLE_NEEDS_REBUILD Table rebuild required. Please do "ALTER TABLE `tbl_name` FORCE" or dump/reload to fix it! + mysqlcheck recognizes the new error and issues an ALTER TABLE ... FORCE statement. The FORCE option for ALTER TABLE was recognized but did nothing; now it is implemented and acts as a "null" alter operation that rebuilds the table. (Bug #47205, Bug #11755431) * On some platforms, the Incorrect value: xxx for column yyy at row zzz error produced by LOAD DATA INFILE could have an incorrect value of zzz. (Bug #46895, Bug #11755168) * The mysql_affected_rows() C API function returned 3 (instead of 2) for INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE statements where there was a duplicated key value. (Bug #46675, Bug #11754979) * Upgrades using an RPM package recreated the test database, which is undesirable when the DBA had removed it. (Bug #45415, Bug #11753896) * In MySQL 5.1 and up, if a table had triggers that used syntax supported in 5.0 but not 5.1, the table became unavailable. Now the table is marked as having broken triggers. (Bug #45235, Bug #11753738) * An attempt to install nonexistent files during installation was corrected. (Bug #43247, Bug #11752142) * Some status variables rolled over to zero after reaching the maximum 32-bit value. They have been changed to 64-bit values. (Bug #42698, Bug #11751727) * SHOW EVENTS did not always show events from the correct database. (Bug #41907, Bug #11751148) * For queries with many eq_ref joins, the optimizer took excessive time to develop an execution plan. (Bug #41740, Bug #11751026, Bug #58225, Bug #11765274) * On FreeBSD 64-bit builds of the embedded server, exceptions were not prevented from propagating into the embedded application. (Bug #38965, Bug #11749418) * With DISTINCT CONCAT(col_name,...) returned incorrect results when the arguments to CONCAT() were columns with an integer data type declared with a display width narrower than the values in the column. (For example, if an INT(1) column contained 1111.) (Bug #4082) Hery Ramilison MySQL/ORACLE Release Engineering Team

Schmidt Wheels is based in Germany
Germany is the birthplace of Gottlieb Daimler and Bertha Benz. Two famous people who invented modern mobility. Up to now Germany has open roads. On the Autobahn you can drive as fast as you like. And believe me – we Germans love to drive fast! For that reason every Schmidt Wheel is designed to go 300 plus!
Gambit Wheels from Schmidt
You can choose your rims in various colors. We offer a small cap exposing the lug bolts. We recommend bolts in black or zinc color to match the wheel color.
Some drivers may prefer the center lock version. It comes with an anodized center lock nut machined from aluminium. The matching cover plate hides the lug bolts nicely.
The centerlock nut is available in different colors. Please ask your dealer for more information.
How do these Schmidt Wheels fit my brakes and suspension?
This set of wheels is approved to fit the ceramic brakes of this Bentley. They come in the same offset for front and rear.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
This section includes summaries of the lessons featured in the in the video
programs. The lessons explore the literature through an inquiry
Session 4: Inquiry: Tomás Rivera
Jorge Arredondo uses an inquiry-based approach to the study of ...y no se lo tragó la tierra... (And the Earth Did Not Devour Him) by Tomás Rivera. With his guidance, students question the book's translator, conduct Internet research, and interview Mexican immigrants who work in their school. The process of searching for answers to their own questions helps students increase their research skills.
Bo Wu uses an inquiry approach to explore Esmeralda Santiago's memoir When I Was Puerto Rican. The students engage in a dramatic reading of several sections of the chapter "The American Invasion of Macún" and discuss Santiago's usage of dialogue and descriptive language. Sparked by their personal interests, the students develop and research topics based on the chapter. Using Santiago's work as a model, the students create timelines of their lives and write their own memoirs.

If you're of a certain age and miss the video games of the 1980s, Nintendo has a Christmas gift for you.
The video game company said Thursday it will release the "NES Classic Edition" on Nov. 11, a $59.99 system that comes loaded with 30 vintage Nintendo games.
Among the highlights are all three "Super Mario" games, two "Zelda" titles, two "Castlevania" entries and two installments from the "Donkey Kong" franchise.
Nintendo described the new console as a "near-identical mini replica" of the original NES; this one, though, connects to TVs via a more-modern HDMI port.
While classic Nintendo games have been available on other platforms - either legally or via the download of illicit "ROM" files from the Internet - this is the first time Nintendo has stepped into the retro games market with a dedicated piece of hardware.
The complete list of games:

This was written when Vegas Burgers & Beer was known as Flip Burger Bar. Same owners and same great food:
Last time I was at Flip Burger Bar there were different owners. Since then a couple of brothers who were fans of the joint decided to buy it up once it was put up for sale. They've changed a few things on the menu but the food is still great and in the case of the mac n' cheese, better than I remembered it.
I started with the hot wings. You can go the mild or medium route but I opted for hot on this particular occasion. Their homemade hot sauce, made with 3 different peppers can be brutal to non-chili heads but if you're looking for some heat and flavor this is definitely it. Took a good look at the wing in the picture and you can see the pieces of the diced peppers.
I thought to myself once I sat down, I wonder if they've still got the Mac n' Cheese on the menu. Not only is it still there but creamier than ever. This dude has 4 different kinds of cheese and will give any "Best Mac 'n Cheese" a run for the money. So good in fact I took some home for my wife.
The burger was as great I remembered it. I ordered it Medium as the menu mentions it'll be Medium Well otherwise. I changed it up a bit by adding grilled onions to my faithful topping, American cheese. Once I added a dab of mustard this thing was good to go. The fries were fresh cut with a seasoning mix that I can describe as familiar. Fries are good but not great.
While sitting there and digesting my food I decided to take a look at the menu again. It turns out they have Chili Cheese Dogs. The dogs are a custom blend made for them in original casing but best of all and not listed on the menu is that you can make your dog a ripper (deep fried for an extra crunchy exterior). The chili which is beanless was perfect for the dog and my afterthought is I should have added some of their hot sauce to this guy. This is the Curt Hennig of Chili Cheese Dogs. Some nacho cheese, diced onions, and yellow mustard rounded out this bad boy. You must have this.
I'm no Beer connoisseur but there's plenty to choose from at this place (over 25) including a few drafts. On the Cola front, I'm disappointed they have cans of soda and not a fountain but I heard that's changing soon. If this is the most I've got to complain about then you know I've found a goldmine. Now, back to thinking about my next trip to Flip Burger Bar.

SAP: Citi Ups to Buy, €62 Target, on End of Irrational Exuberance
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shares of SAP AG (SAP) are up $1.86,or 2.5%, at $77.19, after Citigroup's Walter Pritchard this morning raised his rating on the shares to Buy from Neutral, and raised his price target to €62.00 from €57 on the ordinary shares (SAP) traded on Europe's Xetra exchange, writign that Street estimates have bottomed, in his view, and year-over-year comparisons should be easier this year, while demand appears healthy based on the recent Cebit technology conference in Germany.
Regarding estimates, he is modeling revenue of €17.7 billion this year, Ebitda of €6.92 billion, and EPS of €2.96 on a reported basis, and €3.52 per share on an adjusted basis.
The Street is currently modeling €17.82 billion this year and €6.5 billion, and €3.50 per share.
SAP, writes Pritchard, was held to high, high expectations in 2012 and 2013, as people predicted big strides for the company -- thinks such as its Hana database taking over the market:
2012-13 was filled with inflated expectations: first cloud, then HANA and finally subscription transition dreams. Meanwhile, macro conditions, lack of new products in core and some execution challenges drove mixed results. We continue to believe cloud guidance (€2bn in FY15) is too high, investors seem to agree, and we think it is unlikely SAP does an acquisition simply to meet this goal. Shares have meaningfully underperformed all relevant indices and stand at lowest relative valuation in 4 years.
Hana exuberance, especially, had gotten out of hand, he writes:
Much focus around HANA has been on the differentiated in-memory architecture and advantages the technology has over traditional relational databases, such as provided by Oracle (ORCL). In fact, significant ripple has been felt by Oracle shares as HANA has become a proxy for innovation in database that ultimately could challenge Oracle's dominance in database. In the context of the $30B database market, HANA, in theory, has the potential to be a large business. While it is early in the product's development, we see little evidence that HANA can live up to this excitement [...] With such intense focus on this product (despite it representing just 12% of software and cloud subscription revenue) and specific guidance from management, many investors began to build in HANA lines to their models with long-term potential based on % share of the $30B database market. Management noted on a January call that it would no longer break out HANA revenue in 2014, to the disappointment of many investors that had begun to track this line-item. This has taken the wind out of the sails of the product, especially its opportunity on a standalone basis (calculated as a % of database share). We believe less focus on HANA drives focus back to the core, which was always going to be the most important driver of business. In this way, we think the spotlight being off HANA is healthy.
Meantime, he writes, the company is, in fact, making solid progress in areas such as cloud computing, even if the company hasn't met the loftiest of expectations:
The 2011 SuccessFactors acquisition and then 2012 Ariba acquisition drove excitement around SAP participating in the secular growth of software as a service. Even through these businesses have generally performed well, they represent just 14% of revenue. Relatively lofty cloud revenue goals that look likely to be missed have turned investors sour on cloud. We believe execution has been reasonably good, as ability to leverage the core to sell into is meaningful. We continue to expect 30% cloud revenue growth in 2014-2015, although this will put SAP short of its goal of €2B (we are at €1.572B, slightly below street, although some street estimates are still north of €1.6B). We spent six days in the last two weeks visiting clients across Europe and almost universally the investors we spoke with don't believe that the €2B goal is achievable.
As I wrote this morning, Pritchard already has a Buy rating, and a $39 price target, on shares of Oracle. Oracle will report fiscal Q3 results tomorrow afternoon, after the closing bell.
SAP's ordinary shares today traded up 2.3% to close at €55.56.

From ROHWrestling.com:
Several weeks ago Steve Corino made a challenge to ROH Match Maker Nigel McGuinness. Simply put: if the ROH team wins, S.C.U.M will disband and Steve will apologize as well as do whatever Nigel wants. If S.C.U.M wins, Corino will take Nigel's job and become the new Match Maker.
After much consternation over the ramifications of this bout, McGuinness has come to a decision and issued the following statement to ROHWrestling.com:
Ladies and Gentleman I write this today to respond to Steve Corino's recent challenge.
As you may know, Corino has issued a challenge to pit four of ROH's best against four SCUM members with the stipulation that if ROH wins, SCUM will disband, effectively putting an end to Corino's reign forever…BUT…but if SCUM wins Corino takes my job.
Steve Corino has made it no secret what he wants to happen to ROH and in my position he can do virtually anything that he wants. This would no doubt be an ALL IN scenario to cut to the chase.
No doubt this is the biggest risk I could possibly take as Match Maker for Ring of Honor and that is why I have had multiple meetings with numerous people on this very topic to discuss the risk that it entails. By accepting this challenge it could save ROH and purify this company … or it could officially kill this company that we have loved for the last eleven years.
I said at the start of this that we expected a war, we expected to fight with everything we have in our soul…we expected it to get nastier before it got any better BUT I always knew that no matter how long it would take to overcome this war, ROH and our righteous might would win through to absolute victory.
Many men wiser than myself have said that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's team but with this war there is nothing sweet nor fitting about dying. We must overcome and I have no doubts that honor will be restored once and for all. That being said…
Ring of Honor was born on February 23, 2002 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania inside the Murphy Rec Center.
Ring of Honor will NOT die on June 23rd in Baltimore, Maryland at The Du Burns Arena because…Steve Corino…we ACCEPT this challenge.
June 23rd, 2013…one day after "Best In The World 2013" in Baltimore, Maryland… it will be 4 on 4… ROH vs. SCUM… winner takes all.
This will be the biggest ROH weekend of all time and with everything I believe in my heart… this will not be the last.
We want this to be over. We want to move on. We want a company free of the bullshit that you bring.
Steve Corino… SCUM… get ready for… STEEL… CAGE… WARFARE!!!
First introduced in 2005 at "Steel Cage Warfare" when Generation Next went to war with The Embassy, this bout has only taken place two other times in ROH history and has always turned into a violent affair! This is the biggest bout in the history of "Ring of Honor Wrestling" TV, possibly the most important in ROH history since Daniels vs. Ki. vs. Danielson, because it will determine the future (or lack thereof) of Ring of Honor.
Now the question is who will represent for ROH? Will it be The Wolves? The Briscoes? Adam Cole? Michael Elgin? Jay Lethal? Caprice & Cedric? All those men, plus a slew of others, have reason enough to want a piece of S.C.U.M so Nigel will have certainly have no trouble fielding a team to take on Corino's lot.
Further details will come as June 23rd draws closer but for now know that it will be Steel Cage Warfare in Baltimore! Team ROH vs. S.C.U.M and EVERYTHING is on the line! Get your tickets now!!!

Prevention education: Online program educates students on alcohol-related issues
Submitted by Communications and Marketing
Incoming Kansas State University students are learning about issues associated with alcohol and sexual assault thanks to an online alcohol education program.
Some 4,279 K-State students completed AlcoholEdu for College during the program's first year at the university in 2010-2011, translating to 10,698 hours of prevention education. Results from the 2010-2011 academic year show that students are increasing their knowledge about alcohol-related issues after completing the program. Starting this academic year, students also completed an online program within AlcoholEdu called Haven, which teaches students about sexual assault and relationships.
"Kansas State University is committed to the health and welfare of our students," said Pat Bosco, vice president for student life and dean of students. "It's critical that we continue to educate our students on issues concerning their health and safety so that they can be successful during their college years and beyond."
All newly enrolled, degree-seeking students on the Manhattan and Salina campuses who are under the age of 22 on the first day of classes are required to complete the Web-based alcohol education program, which takes about two hours to complete and provides information about alcohol and its impact on behavior and the body.
Students take a quiz before and after the educational program. Mean exam scores increased from 52 percent on the pre-course exam to 84 percent on the post-course exam. Eighty percent of students said the program helped them establish a plan for responsible decisions related to alcohol.
"While the university offers educational, preventative and intervention services, this program educates a large portion of our incoming students and helps them make wiser choices once they arrive on campus," said Bill Arck, director of K-State's alcohol and other drug education service. "Students learn accurate information on issues like blood-alcohol content in a way that is relevant and useful to them."
A study conducted by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism found that during the fall semester that immediately followed AlcoholEdu implementation, the program significantly reduced the frequency of binge drinking, along with the frequency of alcohol use and alcohol-related problems within 30 days before taking a survey for the study.
"Students learns how to adapt to college life during their first semester, and we're taking the opportunity to teach our students during this critical time," Arck said. "Educating students about the consequences of high-risk drinking helps them make better decisions."
The online program is part of the university's comprehensive strategy of addressing alcohol-related issues.
"Along with getting a college education comes a plethora of stressful situations, and learning how to deal with them is the key to success," said Julie Gibbs, director of health promotions at K-State's Lafene Health Center. "Many students haven't been educated on exactly what to do on some situations -- if a friend has alcohol poisoning or if a student engages in some risky behaviors -- so it is important to teach them and make them aware."
The number of K-State students who do not drink alcohol has been steadily increasing. Twenty-two percent of students do not drink alcohol, according to a 2010 survey Arck conducted with more than 1,000 students. In the mid-1980s, about 11 percent of students said that they did not drink alcohol.

Lawns: An Organic Approach to Grubs
Several organic landscaping professionals in the Northeast have reported that they have little to no grub problems in organically managed lawns. Scientists have yet to determine why this is. How do you know if you have a grub problem? As your lawn begins to green up, do you see bare, brown patches of soil here and there? Maybe you noticed them last fall, too. Can you lift up whole tufts of grass with no roots attached? These areas are a sign that grubs (beetle larvae) have been feeding on the grasses in your lawn, literally eating them out by their roots. Additional signs of grub activity may be crows gathering on the lawn to dig up the grubs, or mole tunneling. Moles are voracious eaters of grubs, and will quickly excavate large areas in search of their prey. If grubs are the culprit, you will find them in the first couple of inches down in the dirt near the brown patches. Grubs are C-shaped, white, with six legs near the darker head and range in size from 1/4" to 1" depending on the species.
If you find grubs, don't panic! Rake up the dead grass areas to expose the grubs to natural predators like birds and pick out and dispose of visible grubs. Reseed, cover with 1/4" compost, and water. Adding some white clover seed and using a mix of grub resistant grass varieties such as tall fescue, fine fescues, Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass will help prevent future damage. Good turf management (infrequent but deep watering, moderate fertilization, soil amendments based on soil tests, mowing high at 3"-4", and a diversity of grass and plant species) will result in a vigorous turf with a deep extensive root system that can tolerate relatively high grub densities without damage. Nature itself often can keep grub populations in check through the checks and balances of weather conditions and predator-prey cycles.
If the grubs are from Japanese beetles, you can use milky spore bacteria (Bacillus popilliae) for safe, long-term control of the white Japanese beetle grubs. While it may take two to three years to achieve complete control, milky spore is worth using due to its simple application method and effective long-term results. The spores multiply inside the grubs, and when the current infestation subsides, the spores lie dormant in the soil for up to 15 years, waiting to attack subsequent grub populations. Be sure to follow the label instructions regarding application rate and use when the soil has warmed up to at least 55 degrees. It is most important to apply the milky spore powder on an overcast day and to water it in well to the lawn and surrounding garden bed areas where beetles have been a problem.
For short-term, fairly fast-acting control of Japanese beetle grubs, try Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and/or Steinernema feltiae, or a mixture of both. These are beneficial nematodes, microscopic soil organisms that attack deep-dwelling lethargic white grubs. Beneficial nematodes also need to be applied when direct sun will not dry them out, and they need to be watered in well immediately prior to application and immediately after application. Researchers are still exploring the use of other beneficial nematodes that show promise for control of other grub species in lawns. Nematodes are most effective on the early stages of larval development, so are best when applied in mid-August to mid-September.
Watering during adult beetle activity in late spring and early summer attacts egg-laying females (especially when the soil in surrounding areas is dry). This is one of several good reasons to minimize lawn watering.
For ornamental plants, handpicking is an ideal way to keep the adult beetle population under control if there are a limited number of plants being attacked. This is easiest to do in the early morning or late afternoon when the adult beetles are more dormant – you can just push them off the leaves. Use a drop of biodegradable soap in a jar of water to collect the feeding adults. Contrary to some traditions, there is no need to use oil or kerosene in the jar. Once they have died in the soapy water, just dump the whole jar in your trash, or better yet, your compost pile.
A more detailed discussion of grub identification, behavior, and organic management can be found in The NOFA Organic Lawn and Turf Handbook available for purchase in the store.

It's one small step for robots.
In the wake of a scrubbed NASA shuttle mission to the International Space Station, the space agency has decided to send an unmanned rocket to the moon THursday. The timing for the moon mission couldn't be set until NASA knew whether Endeavor's plans would go forward.
The robotic moon probes will hunt for hidden ice. The mission will cost $583 million. NASA has three split-second times to try to launch the Atlas V rocket carrying the two lunar probes. They are at 5:12 p.m., 5:22 p.m., and 5:32 p.m. EDT.
NASA spokeswoman Ashley Edwards said the weather forecast is good for launch.
