Darwin alarmed by six-legged mutant cane toad
Beast sprouts extra legs in Oz's Northern Territory
Anyone who doubts that the cane toad will ultimately gain supremacy over Australia is directed to the Northern Territory News, which has a chilling story on a hexaped mutant Bufo marinus captured south of Darwin.
Bufo marinus (aka cane toad) - with a paltry four limbs.
Pic via opencage.info licensed under Creative Commons
Cane toads were disastrously introduced into Northern Queensland from Hawaii in 1935, and have since spread 3,000km across Oz. In the process, they've developed longer legs to speed their invasion, and more recently deployed an experimental fifth leg, presumably in an attempt to gain extra hopping power.
This evidently proved inadequate, since the individual spotted last week in Batchelor, 42km south of Darwin, has no less than six legs.
Mercifully, toad-catcher Savvas Christodoulou noted that the beast's additional limbs didn't actually enhance its mobility. He said: "He was more clumsy than normal. I hope there's no more."
In fact, there are. The NT News notes that another six-legged batrachian variant was bagged in Queensland last year. ®

Cameron University, the Oklahoma Historical Society (OHS) and the Oklahoma Museum of Popular Culture will present "The Daughter of Dawn," a historic silent film shot in the Wichita Mountains in 1920. Featuring a cast made entirely of Comanche and Kiowa Indians, "The Daughter of Dawn" was screened in Los Angeles and at least two other venues but was then lost for almost 85 years. This showing marks the first time the film will be shown in southwest Oklahoma. The screening takes place at the Cameron University Theatre on Thursday, October 11 at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:15 p.m. There is no cost to attend; seating will be first-come, first-served.
"The discovery of the original silver nitrate film some several years ago was momentous in terms of both Oklahoma and cinematic history," says Bob Blackburn, Executive Director, OHS. "It is one of the first silent films shot entirely in Oklahoma and is also the first to have an all Native American cast. Thanks to grants from the McMahon Foundation and the Lawton Community Foundation, the Oklahoma Historical Society was able to purchase the film in 2006. Funding from the National Film Preservation Foundation enabled us to restore the film, including transferring the movie to 35mm film, DVD and other media formats. It is with great pride that we can now share this lost treasure with the public."
A musical score for the film was composed by David Yeagley, a member of the Comanche Nation, and recorded by the Oklahoma City University Orchestra.
Blackburn, Yeagley and elders from the Comanche Nation and the Kiowa Nation will be in attendance to provide commentary on the film.
"The Daughter of Dawn" was directed by Norbert Myles, a vaudevillian/actor/writer/director whose work in film began in 1915. He was hired in late 1919 to direct a film written by Richard Banks, owner of the fledgling Texas Film Company. The movie was shot entirely on location in the Wichita Mountains using local Native Americans as actors.
The completed 80-minute production was screened in October 1920 at the College Theater in Los Angeles, where it received rave reviews and was referred to by one critic as "an original and breathtaking adventure…hardly duplicated before." For unknown reasons, the film was never released and was considered lost until a silver nitrate copy was brought to the OHS' attention in 2003.
In the film, Esther LeBarre plays the lead character, Daughter of Dawn, the daughter of Hunting Horse, Chief of the Kiowa. She is courted by White Eagle, played by White Parker, and Black Wolf, played by Jack Sankadota. Dawn loves White, but the Chief says that Wolf has many ponies so he must consider both as potential husbands for his daughter. To this love triangle is added Red Wing, played by Wanada Parker, who is in love with Wolf. Both White Parker and Wanada Parker were children of the Comanche Chief Quanah Parker.
The story also includes two buffalo hunt scenes, a battle scene, village scenes, dances, deceit, courage, hand-to-hand combat, love scenes, and a happy ending.
For more information about the October 11 screening at Cameron University, contact the Cameron University Office of University Advancement at 580-581-2999.

The arraignment for former county Water Resources Agency board member Steve Collins on a series of criminal charges alleging he benefited from his dual role in the now-stalled Regional Desalination Project was continued to Nov. 30 at the request of his defense.
Collins, who was booked today, was paid $160,000 by the private firm RMC Water and Environment for his work on the $400 million desalination project throughout last year while he served on the county water board.
He is charged with two felony conflict of interest counts for having a financial stake in three key desalination project agreements, as well as six misdemeanor counts for accepting payment from RMC for attending public meetings as a county water board member.
He also is being charged with grand theft under false pretenses for accepting a series of payments from Ocean Mist Farms over nearly 2 years. State law requires some link between charges included in the same complaint, though county prosecutors declined to discuss any such relationship.
RMC, which was working for Marina Coast Water District when it hired Collins, eventually won a $28 million contract to manage the desal project.
The project partners – California American Water, Marina Coast and Monterey County – are currently engaged in mediation in an attempt to resolve a number of issues, including the alleged conflict of interest and its potential impact on the project agreements.
Collins resigned from the water board in April after the conflict of interest allegations came to light.

Energy Journal: European Refineries Squeezed from West and East
The parlous state of Europe's refining business is no secret. The continent has too many refineries producing too much of the wrong product; making money under these conditions is difficult and will become more so, the Financial Times says.
One in 10 plants will likely shut this decade as fuel demand falls, Bloomberg says. Reduced economic circumstances and efficiency measures mean domestic demand will contract, and the U.S. market for European refined products could shrink to nothing in three years, Platts reports.
All across Asia, shiny new state-of-the-art facilities are being commissioned at a rate of knots, again reducing demand for imported products from the Old World.

text: Clozapine (Clozaril and FazaClo) Brand names: Clozaril® Tablet: 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg FazaClo® Orally disintegrating tablet: 12.5 mg, 25 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg, 200 mg Generic name: clozapine (KLOE za peen) All FDA black box warnings are at the end of this fact sheet. Please review before taking this medication. What is Clozapine and what does it treat? Clozapine is a medication that treats schizophrenia. It is also known as a second generation antipsychotic (SGA) or atypical antipsychotic. Clozapine rebalances dopamine and serotonin to improve thinking, mood, and behavior. Symptoms of schizophrenia include: Hallucinations - imagined voices or images that seem real Delusions - beliefs that are not true (e.g., other people are reading your thoughts) Disorganized thinking or trouble organizing your thoughts and making sense Little desire to be around other people Trouble speaking clearly Lack of motivation Clozapine may help some or all of these symptoms. Clozapine is also FDA approved to reduce the risk of recurrent suicidal behavior in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. What is the most important information I should know about Clozapine? Schizophrenia requires long-term treatment. Do not stop taking clozapine, even when you feel better. With input from you, your health care provider will assess how long you will need to take the medicine. Missing doses of clozapine may increase your risk for a relapse in your symptoms. Do not stop taking clozapine or change your dose without talking to with your healthcare provider first. For clozapine to work properly, it should be taken everyday as ordered by your healthcare provider. Are there specific concerns about Clozapine and pregnancy? If you are planning on becoming pregnant, notify your healthcare provider to best manage your medications. People living with schizophrenia who wish to become pregnant face important decisions. This is a complex decision since untreated schizophrenia has risks to the fetus, as well as the mother. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of treatment with your doctor and caregivers. Caution is advised with breastfeeding since clozapine does pass into breast milk. What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Clozapine? Symptoms of your condition that bother you the most If you have thoughts of suicide or harming yourself Medications you have taken in the past for your condition, whether they were effective or caused any adverse effects If you ever had muscle stiffness, shaking, tardive dyskinesia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, or weight gain caused by a medication If you experience side effects from your medications, discuss them with your provider. Some side effects may pass with time, but others may require changes in the medication. Any psychiatric or medical problems you have, such as heart rhythm problems, long QT syndrome, heart attacks, diabetes, high cholesterol, or seizures If you have a family history of diabetes or heart disease All other medications you are currently taking (including over the counter products, herbal and nutritional supplements) and any medication allergies you have Other non-medication treatment you are receiving, such as talk therapy or substance abuse treatment. Your provider can explain how these different treatments work with the medication. If you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding If you smoke, drink alcohol, or use illegal drugs How should I take Clozapine? Clozapine is usually taken 1 or 2 times per day with or without food. Typically patients begin at a low dose of medicine and the dose is increased slowly over several weeks. The dose usually ranges from 25 mg to 700 mg. Only your healthcare provider can determine the correct dose for you. Clozapine orally disintegrating tablets must remain in their original packaging. Open the package with clean dry hands before each dose. Do not try to put tablets in a pillbox if you take the orally disintegrating tablets. Clozapine orally disintegrating tablets will dissolve in your mouth within seconds and can be swallowed with or without liquid. Use a calendar, pillbox, alarm clock, or cell phone alert to help you remember to take your medication. You may also ask a family member a friend to remind you or check in with you to be sure you are taking your medication. What happens if I miss a dose of Clozapine? If you miss a dose of clozapine, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is closer to the time of your next dose. Discuss this with your healthcare provider. Do not double your next dose or take more than what is prescribed. If you miss more than 2 days of medication, contact your prescriber because he/she may need to adjust your dose. What should I avoid while taking Clozapine? Avoid drinking alcohol or using illegal drugs while you are taking clozapine. They may decrease the benefits (e.g. worsen your confusion) and increase adverse effects (e.g. sedation) of the medication. What happens if I overdose with Clozapine? If an overdose occurs call your doctor or 911. You may need urgent medical care. You may also contact the poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. A specific treatment to reverse the effects of clozapine does not exist. What are possible side effects of Clozapine? Common side effects Increased heart rate, low blood pressure, constipation, increased salivation, feeling drowsy or dizzy Rare/serious side effects Decreased white blood cells, inflammation of heart muscle, seizures, severely low blood pressure, urinary incontinence Some people may develop muscle related side effects while taking clozapine. The technical terms for these are "extrapyramidal effects" (EPS) and "tardive dyskinesia" (TD). Symptoms of EPS include restlessness, tremor, and stiffness. TD symptoms include slow or jerky movements that one cannot control, often starting in the mouth with tongue rolling or chewing movements. Second generation antipsychotics (SGAs) increase the risk of weight gain, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol. This is also known as metabolic syndrome. Your healthcare provider may ask you for a blood sample to check your cholesterol, blood sugar, and hemoglobin A1c (a measure of blood sugar over time) while you take this medication. Information on healthy eating and adding exercise to decrease your chances of developing metabolic syndrome may be found at the following sites: http://www.helpguide.org/articles/healthy-eating/healthy-eating.htm http://www.helpguide.org/home-pages/exercise-fitness.htm SGAs have been linked with higher risk of death, strokes, and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) in elderly people with behavior problems due to dementia. All antipsychotics have been associated with the risk of sudden cardiac death due to an arrhythmia (irregular heart beat). To minimize this risk, antipsychotic medications should be used in the smallest effective dose when the benefits outweigh the risks. Your doctor may order an EKG to monitor for irregular heart beat. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a rare, life threatening adverse effect of antipsychotics which occurs in <1% of patients. Symptoms include confusion, fever, extreme muscle stiffness, and sweating. If any of these symptoms occur, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Are there any risks for taking Clozapine for long periods of time? Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a side effect that develops with prolonged use of antipsychotics. Medications such as clozapine have been shown to have a lower risk of TD compared to older antipsychotics, such as Haldol (haloperidol). If you develop symptoms of TD, such as grimacing, sucking, and smacking of lips, or other movements that you cannot control, contact your healthcare provider immediately. All patients taking either first or second generation antipsychotics should have an Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) completed regularly by their healthcare provider to monitor for TD. Second generation antipsychotics (SGAs) increase the risk of diabetes, weight gain, high cholesterol, and high triglycerides. (See "Serious Side Effects" section for monitoring recommendations.) What other medications may interact with Clozapine? Clozapine may lower your blood pressure. Medications used to lower blood pressure may increase this effect and increase your risk of falling. Propranolol (Inderal) is an example of this type of medication. The following medications may increase the risk of heart problems when used with clozapine: Antipsychotics, such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine), thioridizine (Mellaril), iloperidone (Fanapt), asenapine (Saphris) paliperidone (Invega), quetiapine (Seroquel), ziprasidone (Geodon) Antiarrhymics (heart rhythm medications), such as procainamide, quinidine, amiodarone (Cordarone), dronedarone (Multaq), sotalol (Betapace) The following medications may increase the levels and effects of clozapine: ciprofloxacin (Cipro), fluvoxamine (Luvox) and lamotrigine (Lamictal) The following medications may decrease the levels and effects of clozapine: carbamazepine (Tegretol), phenytoin (Dilantin), phenobarbital, and rifampin (Rifadin) Cigarette smoke can decrease levels of clozapine by as much as 50%. Let your healthcare provider know if you start or stop smoking cigarettes. Nicotine patches do not impact clozapine levels. How long does it take for Clozapine to work? It is very important to tell your doctor how you feel things are going during the first few weeks after you start taking clozapine. It will probably take several weeks to see big enough changes in your symptoms to decide if clozapine is the right medication for you. Antipsychotic treatment is generally needed lifelong for persons with schizophrenia. Your doctor can best discuss the duration of treatment you need based on your symptoms and illness. Hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and delusions may improve in the first 1-2 weeks Sometimes these symptoms do not completely go away Motivation and desire to be around other people can take at least 1-2 weeks to improve Symptoms continue to get better the longer you take clozapine It may take 2-3 months before you get the full benefit of clozapine Summary of FDA Black Box Warnings Agranulocytosis Less than 1% of patients taking clozapine may develop a condition called agranulocytosis, Agranulocytosis causes the body to make fewer white blood cells. A decrease in white blood cells increases the risk of infection. If this occurs, it is reversible by stopping clozapine. The clozapine Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program has been recently updated. Your doctor will inform you whether these changes will affect your scheduled blood work. Blood counts are checked every week for the first 6 months and every two weeks for the next 6 months. After the first year of treatment, blood counts are checked monthly. The pharmacy must have a copy of your blood counts to be able to dispense the medication. Further information may be found at the following website: https://www.clozapinerems.com/CpmgClozapineUI/patientHome.u Myocarditis Myocarditis (inflammation of heart muscle) and cardiomyopathy (enlarged heart) have rarely been reported. Symptoms of these heart problems include shortness of breath and chest pain. Contact your healthcare provider right away if this happens. Seizures Dose-dependent seizures have been associated with clozapine (i.e. more likely with high doses or rapid dose increases). Clozapine should be used with caution in patients with a history of seizures, head injury or alcohol dependence. Orthostatic hypotension Clozapine may cause a significant drop in blood pressure when changing position from sitting to standing. Notify your prescriber if you feel lightheaded when standing up. Increased mortality in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis Both first generation (typical) and second generation (atypical) antipsychotics are associated with an increased risk of mortality in elderly patients when used for dementia related psychosis. Although there were multiple causes of death in studies, most deaths appeared to be due to cardiovascular causes (e.g. sudden cardiac death) or infection (e.g. pneumonia). Antipsychotics are not indicated for the treatment of dementia-related psychosis.

Not sure how common this issue is, or even how badly I may be missing something simple, but I am a first time user having some serious problems.
Some background: old HDD running Windows 7 developed too many bad sectors and is bricked. I'm attempting to install Ubuntu 12.04 on a fresh 1TB drive by booting from a LiveUSB.
I've not been able to get past the initial menu screen, however, as the process stalls out shortly after selecting an option (both boot from drive and install to drive). I've tried multiple USB drives as well as CDs, modified the boot order, flashed BIOS, and even tried booting with only the flash drive and the keyboard connected with the same results.
Typically what I observe is that the OS begins what I think is compiling, listing drivers and components before freezing on one. When the keyboard is plugged in, its the keyboard driver, before I flashed BIOS, it was a BIOS related item, now its an unknown entry.
The computer seems to be reading the drive (indicated by USB light flashing or CD drive reading) for roughly 10 minutes with no progress, followed by the drives going quiet.
Some spec info:
Motherboard: ASUS P5Q Pro,
BIOS version 2102 (latest version),
Intel chipset
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz
help would be appriciated!

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – Real Salt Lake (4-0-5, 17 points, West #2) won in dramatic fashion on Saturday night, getting a 90th minute equalizer from FW Alvaro Saborio and a 93rd minute winner from FW Joao Plata to defeat Chicago Fire (0-2-6, 6 points, East #10) 3-2 at Toyota Park
RSL fell behind early, conceding in the 22nd and 30th minutes to go into the half down 2-0. The Claret-and-Cobalt didn't pull one back until the 72nd minute, when Plata finished a MF Javier Morales pass to cut RSL's deficit in half. Saborio made it 2-2 in the 90th minute, and Plata finished the Fire off in the 93rd, finishing a Saborio cross to give RSL all three points.
Saturday's win moves the Claret-and-Cobalt to 4-0-5 on the season. RSL remains the only unbeaten team in MLS, with the team's regular season unbeaten streak now standing at 13 games dating back to last season.
FW Mike Magee gave Chicago the lead in the 22nd minute, pouncing on a rebound to slot home from close-range. RSL GK Nick Rimando made a magnificent save to keep the first effort out, quickly diving to his left to make a one-handed stop on Chicago MF Harry Shipp's 20-yard effort. There was nothing he could do on the follow-up however, with Magee coasting in and powering home from inside the six to put RSL down 0-1.
Saborio had a chance to level in the 24th minute. DF Chris Wingert slipped the Costa Rican international in on the left side of the box, with Saborio turning and firing a shot on frame from a tight angle that onrushing Fire GK Sean Johnson blocked with his chest.
Chicago FW Juan Luis Anangono gave the Fire a 2-0 lead in the 30th minute, when he acrobatically headed a DF Greg Cochrane cross inside the left post from eight yards out.
RSL nearly found its first goal on three separate occasions before the end of the half. Saborio had the first look in the 36th, collecting a pass at the top of the box and firing a volley on frame that Johnson pushed around the post and out for a corner kick. DF Chris Schuler had a chance one minute later, flashing a header of a Plata cross wide of the left post. Plata had the final look in the 39th, powering a curling right-footer toward the left post that Johnson somehow got his hands on to push around the post.
Magee nearly made it 3-0 in the 63rd minute, racing past the RSL backline for a 1-v-1 with Rimando and hitting the crossbar from 15 yards out. A mad scramble ensued following Magee's effort, with RSL blocking a pair of Chicago shots before a Fire player was whistled for a foul to end the danger.
Plata pulled RSL within one in the 72nd minute. Morales assisted on the play, weaving a pass through the Fire defense to Plata just inside the area. The Ecuadorian attacker took it from there, turning and powering a low right-footer inside the left post to make it 2-1.
RSL kept the pressure on after Plata's first strike, pinning Chicago in its own half and putting the Fire backline under siege before Saborio equalized in the 90th minute. Substitute DF Abdoulie Mansally started the move, playing a give-and-go with MF Ned Grabavoy down the left side before lobbing a cross into the middle. Saborio got on the end of it at the back post, heading a shot that was blocked by a Fire player before pouncing on the rebound and blasting home from close-range.
RSL stayed on the front foot after Saborio's equalizer, with Plata scoring the dramatic winner in the third minute of stoppage time. Saborio assisted on the goal, hitting an inch-perfect cross from the left wing that Plata volleyed in from four yards out.
Real Salt Lake will aim to maintain its unbeaten record next Sunday, when it will play at the Houston Dynamo. Next Sunday's match will kick at 5:00 p.m. MT and will be broadcast live on CW30, ESPN 700 AM and 102.3 La Gran D FM. RSL will return home on Saturday, May 17, when it will take on Colorado Rapids at 7:30 p.m. MT at Rio Tinto Stadium. Tickets to the May 17 match are on sale and can be purchased at the Rio Tinto Stadium box office, online at www.RealSaltLake.com/Tickets or over the phone at 801-727-2700.
Real Salt Lake Match Notes – RSL 3-2 CHI
· Saturday's win maintained Real Salt Lake's unbeaten record, improving the Claret-and-Cobalt to 4-0-5 in 2014. RSL's nine-game unbeaten run to start the season is a club record. The team's 13-game regular season unbeaten streak dating back to last September is the second-longest in club history, trailing only the 18-game regular season unbeaten run compiled in the 2010 and 2011 seasons.
· Saturday's win moved RSL Head Coach Jeff Cassar to unbeaten in his first nine games of his managerial career. Cassar's nine-game unbeaten run to start his MLS coaching career is the second-longest such streak in league history, trailing only Lothar Osiander, who started the 1996 season 12-0-0 as head coach of the LA Galaxy.
· RSL FW Joao Plata scored two goals on Saturday night, giving him five goals and two assists in just six games this year. Plata has played only 394 minutes this season, giving him a 1.14 goals for every 90 minutes played.
· RSL FW Alvaro Saborio's goal on Saturday also gives him five goals on the season. The Costa Rican international now has 72 goals in 135 games across all competitions for RSL.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Bank and commodity shares led the benchmark Standard & Poor's 500 Index to a fresh five-year closing high on Tuesday on hopes that the global economy continues to mend.
Travelers' shares climbed after the insurer's results and lifted the Dow Jones industrial average to a new five-year closing high.
On Friday, both the Dow and the S&P 500 ended at five-year highs after the quarterly earnings season got off to a solid start. On Monday, the U.S. stock market was closed in observance of the Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday.
In Tuesday's session, the market also gained on signals that Republican leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives aim on Wednesday to pass a bill to extend the U.S. debt limit by nearly four months to May 19. The White House welcomed the move, saying it would remove uncertainty about the issue.
Investors, however, were cautious ahead of an increase in earnings reports and as the S&P 500 rose for a fifth straight session.
Jack de Gan, chief investment officer of Harbor Advisory Corp, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, said better economic numbers in the United States and China, as well as more stabilization in Europe, were driving buyers into sectors associated with economic growth.
"Any (bearish) news could turn us down for a day or so," he said, referring to the recent string of gains.
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold (FCX.N) led gains in the materials sector after it reported a 16 percent rise in fourth-quarter profit on higher production. Shares gained 4.6 percent to $35.19.
The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI rose 62.51 points, or 0.46 percent, to 13,712.21 at the close. The S&P 500 .SPX gained 6.58 points, or 0.44 percent, to 1,492.56. The Nasdaq Composite .IXIC added 8.47 points or 0.27 percent, to 3,143.18.
Tuesday's session marked the highest closes for both the Dow and the S&P 500 since December 2007.
Technology shares underperformed as concerns about Apple's (AAPL.O) ability to continue to grow at hyper speed and a weak outlook from Intel Corp (INTC.O) diminished optimism about the sector's prospects. The S&P technology index .SPLRCT added 0.16 percent for the day. In comparison, the S&P energy sector index .SPNY, the S&P financials index .SPSY and the S&P basic materials index .SPLRCM each gained 0.9 percent.
But Google (GOOG.O) shares rose 4.8 percent to above $736 in extended-hours trading after the world's No. 1 search engine reported a jump in fourth-quarter revenue. Shares of IBM (IBM.N) added more than 4 percent to trade above $204 after the world's largest technology services company reported earnings and revenue that beat estimates.
"We expected Q4 for many tech vendors would be weak because we were expecting a lot of companies sitting on their wallets until it became clear what was going to become of the fiscal cliff," Forrester analyst Andrew Bartels said about IBM.
"Given the fact it's Q4 and the cloud of fiscal cliff within it, it's a positive indication that especially tech software will be doing better in the next couple of months."
During the regular session, shares of blue chips Travelers, DuPont (DD.N), and Verizon Communications (VZ.N) rose following earnings.
Travelers rose 2.2 percent to $77.95, a closing high. DuPont's shares gained 1.8 percent to $47.82. Verizon's stock rose 0.9 percent to $42.94.
Thomson Reuters data through Tuesday morning showed that of the 74 S&P 500 companies that have reported earnings so far, 62.2 percent have topped expectations, roughly even with the 62 percent average since 1994, but below the 65 percent average over the past four quarters.
Overall, S&P 500 fourth-quarter earnings are forecast to have risen 2.6 percent. That estimate is above the 1.9 percent forecast from the start of earnings season, but well below the 9.9 percent fourth-quarter earnings forecast from October 1, the data showed.
U.S.-listed shares of Research in Motion RIMM.O RIM.TO rallied 13 percent to $17.90 a day after its chief executive said the Canadian company may consider strategic alliances with other companies after the launch of devices powered by RIM's new BlackBerry 10 operating system.
About 6.2 billion shares changed hands on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq and NYSE MKT, below last year's daily average of about 6.45 billion shares.
On the NYSE, advancers outnumbered decliners by a ratio of roughly 9 to 4. On the Nasdaq, five stocks rose for every three that fell.
Signs of improved sentiment toward world growth were also seen in European bond markets. The yield on Portugal's benchmark 10-year note fell below 6 percent for the first time since late 2010 on news that the country was set to tap the bond market this week for the first time since it was bailed out in 2011. <GVD/EUR>

It's always seemed odd that women in such a controversial line of work would even bother to be judgmental of what the next person does, but there's a silent hierarchy that exists within the sex industry, e.g., topless models look down on girls who go bottomless, girls who go bottomless look down on girls who strip, strippers look down on porn stars, porn stars look down on hookers, etc. During the episode, Tyra had the women rank one another in order from most respectable to least respectable, and obvs, hilarity ensued.

Pa. casinos report another decline in slot revenue
Pennsylvania casinos have posted their fifth consecutive monthly revenue decline from slot machines.
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board said Wednesday that revenue from slot machines totaled $216 million last month, down 5.7 percent from a year ago.
Counting only the 11 casinos that were also open in March of 2013, revenue slid 6.7 percent. Nine of those casinos posted year-over-year losses, led by Presque Isle Downs and Casino and Harrah's Philadelphia Casino and Racetrack, each down nearly 13 percent.
Valley Forge Casino Resort reported an 18 percent gain.
March tax revenue from the play of slot machines was nearly $116 million.

BOULDER, CO - November 7, 2005
Webroot Spy Sweeper, the industry's leading anti-spyware protection software created and distributed by Webroot Software Inc., has been awarded the PC Magazine Editors' Choice Award in the anti-spyware software category for its recent v4.5 release. This award marks the fourth time Webroot Spy Sweeper has been named an Editors' Choice by PC Magazine and follows on the heels of Webroot Spy Sweeper being named a Best Buy selection in the anti-spyware category by PC World Magazine.
"Webroot's Spy Sweeper 4.5 is the most powerful antispyware tool we've seen yet," said PC Magazine Reviewer Neil Rubenking in the October 31, 2005 review of Spy Sweeper v4.5. "Its Comprehensive Removal Technology attempts to remove spyware completely in a single pass, and its behavior-based Active Shields prevent the installation of new threats on the cleaned system. Fancy names aside, our testing shows that the utility really works."
Spy Sweeper 4.5 combines the use of Comprehensive Removal Technology (CRT), the most advanced spyware removal technology in the industry, with the superior blocking power of behavior-based Smart Shields. CRT uses adaptive recognition processes and proactive spyware research to completely eradicate the most debilitating types of spyware from a PC in a single sweep and restore the machine to a stable, pre-infection state. CRT effectively removes some of the most persistent and powerful spyware programs today, including Commonname, LOP, SurfSidekick, VX2/Abetterinternet/Aurora, Elite Keylogger and other sophisticated forms of spyware which use rootkit technology to bury themselves deeply within users' PCs.
The powerful removal capabilities of CRT is complimented by the addition of four new Smart Shields including the ActiveX Shield, which thwarts drive-by downloads that use ActiveX components to disguise their installation, and the Spy Communication Shield, which prevents further spyware infection by blocking incoming and outgoing communication to web sites known to host potential spyware threats and disables spyware programs' ability to re-install during removal.
"We are thrilled to have Spy Sweeper recognized as the best anti-spyware solution once again by the distinguished editors of PC Magazine," said David Moll, CEO of Webroot. "The spyware arena has changed significantly since we first debuted Spy Sweeper in 2003. Spyware purveyors are constantly developing new insidious spyware threats and finding new means of distributing them to consumers and enterprises. Webroot continues to stay a step ahead of these criminals by protecting our customers with the most advanced research and anti-spyware technologies in the market. With the release of Spy Sweeper v4.5, Webroot is once again setting the standard for all anti-spyware solutions."
The PC Magazine Editors' Choice Award is given out in every issue to the product(s) and/or service(s) that stand out from others in their category.

Man allegedly sold deer, raccoons to Ill. eateries
October 19, 2013 at 12:27 PM
KNOX, Ind. (AP) — A Chicago man sold deer, raccoons and other wildlife to markets and restaurants in that city's Chinatown district for use in meals, Indiana conservation officers said Tuesday.
Alexander Moy, 47, was arrested Monday in Hamlet, about 80 miles from Chicago in northwestern Indiana, on a charge of illegally selling wildlife, Lt. Tom Torsell of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources said.
The arrest followed a two-year investigation during which Moy bought wildlife, including turtles and fish, from undercover officers, Torsell said.
It was not clear whether any of the animals ever were served to people, he said.
"This is really the first stage of this investigation," Torsell said.
Conservation officers served search warrants at Moy's Starke County property, known as Kankakee Valley Fish Farm, for evidence related to illegal wildlife sales. They seized various equipment and animal species at the property.
The investigation began after conservation officers received complaints of Moy purchasing whitetail deer from members of the public. Over several months, officers were able to document numerous wildlife sales, Torsell said. Most involved venison and turtles, he said.
It was not clear whether Moy has an attorney. He has not appeared in court yet.
The charge of illegally selling wildlife carries penalties of up to three years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

|In the United States, landfilling remains the primary choice for the disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW). The MSW in landfills undergoes anaerobic decomposition by various micro-organisms and produces large amounts of landfill gas (LFG). LFG, a gaseous mixture consisting mainly of CH₄ and CO₂, can be utilized as a renewable source of green energy to produce electricity, heat and fuels. Even though there is a huge potential of converting LFG into energy, LFG has so far found fairly limited utility, because the economics of landfill energy projects are still not quite favorable due to high operation costs. Among the key obstacle is that landfill engineers are not able to accurately predict the amount and quality of LFG emitted from a certain landfill and thus cannot determine optimal strategies to operate a landfill economically. In this dissertation, we are going to investigate three essential aspects of efficient landfill management: short- and long-term performance prediction, real-time state estimation and model-based production optimization. ❧ Considering the importance of the short-term prediction, we first develop an artificial neural network (ANN) approach in order to make accurate short-term forecasting for several important quantities in a large landfill in Southern California, including the temperature, and the CH₄, CO₂, and O₂ concentration profiles. The ANN, a data-driven method, does not require the access to technical details about a landfill and thus is computationally efficient. It is shown that the ANN can be successfully trained by the experimental data and can provide accurate predictions for the behavior of landfill at least in the short-term. For the long-term prediction, however, a model-based prediction method is commonly used, for which an accurate theoretical landfill model is needed. Hashemi et al. (2002) and Sanchez et al. (2006) presented a comprehensive 3D model to describe the LFG generation and transport, which has been validated by real landfill data. We further extend this landfill model, in conjunction with the ANN method and the genetic algorithm (GA) method, for the long-term prediction. The effectiveness of this novel approach is demonstrated by a synthetic landfill gas model. ❧ Another obstacle to accurately forecasting the amount and content of LFG is the lack of a realistic description of landfills, due to the fact that a landfill is a highly heterogeneous system, whereby the physical properties, such as permeability, porosity and tortuosity, are anisotropic and vary spatially. These properties are critical to determine generation and transport of LFG in a landfill. However, such information is difficult to obtain, because only limited measurement data, such as the gas flow from a landfill and its composition, are available. Therefore, it is important to characterize and estimate these factors that influence the accuracy of a landfill model, by assimilating the measurement data as soon as they become available. A real-time updating approach, based on a combination of the GA and the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF), is proposed to solve this estimation problem. ❧ We then proceed to the problem of model-based production optimization for a landfill system, using the heterogeneous landfill model obtained from the real-time state estimation. The complexity of a landfill system will cause heavy computation burden to the optimization, where conventional optimization methods might fail. An effective ensemble based method is developed and successfully implemented to maximize the net present value (NPV) of a synthetic landfill model without constraints. The optimization with nonlinear flow rate constraints is handled by a GA based method, called parameterless GA, through modifying the objective function of the GA.

Information about table definitions is stored both in the
.frm files, and in the InnoDB
data dictionary. If
you move
.frm files around, or if the server
crashes in the middle of a data dictionary operation, these
sources of information can become inconsistent.
If a data dictionary corruption or consistency issue prevents you
from starting
InnoDB, see
Section 14.21.2, "Forcing InnoDB Recovery" for information about
manual recovery.
A symptom of an out-of-sync data dictionary is that a
CREATE TABLE statement fails. If
this occurs, look in the server's error log. If the log says
that the table already exists inside the
InnoDB internal data dictionary, you have an
orphan table inside the
InnoDB tablespace
files that has no corresponding
.frm file.
The error message looks like this:
InnoDB: Error: table test/parent already exists in InnoDB internal
InnoDB: data dictionary. Have you deleted the .frm file
InnoDB: and not used DROP TABLE? Have you used DROP DATABASE
InnoDB: for InnoDB tables in MySQL version <= 3.23.43?
InnoDB: See the Restrictions section of the InnoDB manual.
InnoDB: You can drop the orphaned table inside InnoDB by
InnoDB: creating an InnoDB table with the same name in another
InnoDB: database and moving the .frm file to the current database.
InnoDB: Then MySQL thinks the table exists, and DROP TABLE will
InnoDB: succeed.
You can drop the orphan table by following the instructions
given in the error message. If you are still unable to use
DROP TABLE successfully, the
problem may be due to name completion in the
mysql client. To work around this problem,
start the mysql client with the
option and try
DROP TABLE again.
(With name completion on, mysql tries to
construct a list of table names, which fails when a problem such
as just described exists.)
Another symptom of an out-of-sync data dictionary is that MySQL
prints an error that it cannot open an
InnoDB file:
ERROR 1016: Can't open file: 'child2.ibd'. (errno: 1)
In the error log you can find a message like this:
InnoDB: Cannot find table test/child2 from the internal data dictionary
InnoDB: of InnoDB though the .frm file for the table exists. Maybe you
InnoDB: have deleted and recreated InnoDB data files but have forgotten
InnoDB: to delete the corresponding .frm files of InnoDB tables?
This means that there is an orphan
file without a corresponding table inside
InnoDB. You can drop the orphan
.frm file by deleting it manually.
If MySQL exits in the middle of an in-place
ALTER TABLE operation
ALGORITHM=INPLACE), you may be left with an
orphan intermediate table that takes up space on your system.
This section describes how to identify and remove orphan
intermediate tables.
Intermediate table names begin with an
#sql-ib prefix (e.g.,
#sql-ib87-856498050). The accompanying
.frm file has an
#sql-* prefix and is named differently
To identify orphan intermediate tables on your system, you can
view Table Monitor output
or query
Look for table names that begin with
If the original table resides in a
tablespace, the tablespace file (the
#sql-*.ibd file) for the orphan
intermediate table should be visible in the database directory.
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_SYS_TABLES WHERE NAME LIKE '%#sql%';
To remove an orphan intermediate table, perform the following steps:
In the database directory, rename the
#sql-*.frmfile to match the base name of the orphan intermediate table:
shell> mv #sql-36ab_2.frm #sql-ib87-856498050.frmNote
If there is no
.frmfile, you can recreate it. The
.frmfile must have the same table schema as the orphan intermediate table (it must have the same columns and indexes) and must be placed in the database directory of the orphan intermediate table.
Drop the orphan intermediate table by issuing a
DROP TABLEstatement, prefixing the name of the table with
#mysql50#and enclosing the table name in backticks. For example:
mysql> DROP TABLE `#mysql50##sql-ib87-856498050`;
#mysql50#prefix tells MySQL to ignore
file name safe encodingintroduced in MySQL 5.1. Enclosing the table name in backticks is required to perform SQL statements on table names with special characters such as "#".
If MySQL exits in the middle of a table-copying
ALTER TABLE operation
ALGORITHM=COPY), you may be left with an
orphan temporary table that takes up space on your system. This
section describes how to identify and remove orphan temporary
Orphan temporary table names begin with an
#sql- prefix (e.g.,
#sql-540_3). The accompanying
.frm file has the same base name as the
orphan temporary table.
If there is no
.frm file, you can
recreate it. The
.frm file must have the
same table schema as the orphan temporary table (it must have
the same columns and indexes) and must be placed in the
database directory of the orphan temporary table.
To identify orphan temporary tables on your system, you can view
Table Monitor output or
Look for table names that begin with
If the original table resides in a
tablespace, the tablespace file (the
#sql-*.ibd file) for the orphan temporary
table should be visible in the database directory.
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_SYS_TABLES WHERE NAME LIKE '%#sql%';
To remove an orphan temporary table, drop the table by issuing a
DROP TABLE statement, prefixing
the name of the table with
#mysql50# and
enclosing the table name in backticks. For example:
mysql> DROP TABLE `#mysql50##sql-540_3`;
#mysql50# prefix tells MySQL to ignore
file name safe encoding introduced in MySQL
5.1. Enclosing the table name in backticks is required to
perform SQL statements on table names with special characters
such as "#".
enabled, the following message might occur if the
.frm or
.ibd files (or
both) are missing:
InnoDB: in InnoDB data dictionary has tablespace id N,
InnoDB: but tablespace with that id or name does not exist. Have
InnoDB: you deleted or moved .ibd files?
InnoDB: This may also be a table created with CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE
InnoDB: whose .ibd and .frm files MySQL automatically removed, but the
InnoDB: table still exists in the InnoDB internal data dictionary.
If this occurs, try the following procedure to resolve the problem:
Create a matching
.frmfile in some other database directory and copy it to the database directory where the orphan table is located.
DROP TABLEfor the original table. That should successfully drop the table and
InnoDBshould print a warning to the error log that the
.ibdfile was missing.
This procedure describes how to restore orphan
.ibd files to another MySQL instance. You
might use this procedure if the system tablespace is lost or
unrecoverable and you want to restore
file backups on a new MySQL instance.
The procedure assumes that you only have
.ibd file backups, you are recovering to
the same version of MySQL that initially created the orphan
.ibd files, and that
.ibd file backups are clean. See
Section 18.104.22.168, "Moving or Copying InnoDB Tables" for information about
creating clean backups.
Table import limitations outlined in Section 126.96.36.199, "Importing InnoDB Tables" are applicable to this procedure.
On the new MySQL instance, recreate the table in a database of the same name.
mysql> CREATE DATABASE sakila; mysql> USE sakila; mysql> CREATE TABLE actor ( actor_id SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, first_name VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL, last_name VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL, last_update TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, PRIMARY KEY (actor_id), KEY idx_actor_last_name (last_name) )ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
Discard the tablespace of the newly created table.
mysql> ALTER TABLE sakila.actor DISCARD TABLESPACE;
Copy the orphan
.ibdfile from your backup directory to the new database directory.
shell> cp /backup_directory/actor.ibd path/to/mysql-5.6/data/sakila/
Ensure that the
.ibdfile has the necessary file permissions.
Import the orphan
.ibdfile. A warning is issued indicating that
InnoDBwill attempt to import the file without schema verification.
mysql> ALTER TABLE sakila.actor IMPORT TABLESPACE; SHOW WARNINGS; Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.15 sec) Warning | 1810 | InnoDB: IO Read error: (2, No such file or directory) Error opening './sakila/actor.cfg', will attempt to import without schema verification
Query the table to verify that the
.ibdfile was successfully restored.
mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM sakila.actor; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 200 | +----------+

Terrorism on the rise
Fifty-six people, most of them old women selling food to make money so they could eat, died when Boko Haram terrorists set off a bomb in a Nigerian marketplace last Tuesday.
Boko Haram still holds at least 219 school girls the Islamic terrorists kidnapped in April. During just the past two weeks, the group has slaughtered scores of Nigerians, including some at four churches that were surrounded and set ablaze. Those trying to escape the flames were shot down.
Meanwhile in Iraq, another group of Islamic terrorists continues to push back government forces and massacre civilians it deems religiously suspect. Officials in that country say they cannot defeat the enemy without help from other countries.
U.S. reaction to that was to note that 300 special forces troops sent to Iraq will assess the country's ability to resist.
In Afghanistan, where President Barack Obama's announcement of a deadline for withdrawal of U.S. troops has invigorated Taliban terrorists, that group also is making progress in conquering territory.
Taliban and al-Qaida terrorists have stepped up their attacks against the Pakistani government, too.
After a daring raid by Navy SEALs killed former al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in May 2011, Obama in effect declared "mission accomplished" against Islamic terrorists.
He was wrong. Islamic terrorism is a multi-headed hydra. Cut off one head and a new one grows in its place.
Clearly, Islamic terrorists in scores of countries are increasing the level of their violence. Thousands of dead men, women and children bear witness to that.
Far from defeating al-Qaida and related groups, Obama and other U.S. leaders seem content to allow them to win bloody victory after bloody victory. If that continues, it is only a matter of time until the terrorists gain enough strength and confidence to launch another major attack on Americans, possibly right here in our homeland.
A reevaluation of U.S. policy is in order. Unless we connect the dots soon, they will lead straight to our shores.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 11, No. 2 Fall 1984
William D. Cooper UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT GREENSBORO
Abstract: George C. Mathews, one of the first commissioners of the Securities and Exchange Commission, was charged with general supervision over accounting matters brought before the Commission. Under his leadership, the office of Chief Accountant was established, Accounting Series Releases were initiated, and the basic framework for handling accounting matters was formulated.
The Securities Act of 1933, a product of the "New Deal" legislation, was proposed by the Roosevelt administration. The primary objective of the Act was to protect investors from false information in the securities markets. First administered by the Interstate Commerce Commission, the 1933 Act was transferred to a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 1934. It is often called the "truth in securities" law, and the Senate Committee on Banking and Currency listed the following as being among the major purposes of the Securities Act of 1933:
1. To prevent the exploitation of the public by the sale of unsound, fraudulent, and worthless securities through misrepresentation; and
2. To place adequate and true information before the in-vestor.1
To accomplish these objectives, the Act required any firm issuing securities for public sale to file a registration statement and to provide a prospectus that contained most of the information filed with the Commission. The SEC did not attempt to judge the merits of an issue, but assumed that disclosure of information would allow the investor to make an informed choice among alternative invest-ments.2 An integral part of this philosophy was the work of one of the first Commissioners of the SEC, George C. Mathews.
George C. Mathews, born 1886 in Northwood, Iowa, was gradu-ated from the University of Wisconsin in 1908. After graduation,
