However, many retinal conditions do not cause noticeable symptoms in the early stages, but may lead to irreversible and sometimes severe loss of vision. Symptoms may indicate a disorder limited to the eye or may be related to a systemic condition, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, metabolic disorders, blood infections, and certain types of cancers. If you have diabetes or certain other medical or eye conditions, your primary medical doctor or comprehensive ophthalmologist can help you to determine when and how often to see a retina specialist. The diagnosis and monitoring of retinal diseases requires a complete eye examination where the pupils are dilated with eye drops. You may experience a temporary change in vision and sensitivity to light, so you may wish to bring a pair of sunglasses to wear after the visit. One or more tests may need to be performed to help your treating physician assess the retina and macula (the central portion of the retina). Diagnostic Tools The most common cause of vision loss in older Americans is age related macular degeneration (AMD). At Mass. Eye and Ear, our retina specialists utilize the most advanced tools and techniques in its treatment, such as: Fundus Photography and Angiography Optical Coherence Tomography Ultrasound Examination and Ultrasound Biomicroscopy Digital fundus photography is often used to photograph any abnormalities in order to carefully study any change in the appearance of a patient's retina and macula over time. An angiogram is a type of photograph that allows a physician to visualize the blood vessels in the back of your eye as well as associated abnormalities, such as the growth of abnormal new blood vessels (neovascularization), which is the most common cause of vision loss in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). An angiogram is performed by taking photographs of the macula and retina after the injection of a food dye, called fluorescein, into a peripheral vein, generally in the patient's arm or hand. The dye circulates through the blood vessels, including the eye, and is eliminated from the body over a few days through the urine. You should expect that your urine will appear yellow/orange over the course of several days, as the dye is eliminated. It is regarded as a safe test; however, as with the administration of any medication or drug, a small percentage of patients may have allergic symptoms, such as itching and rash. More severe allergy occurs very rarely. Indocyanine green (ICG) angiography is a less frequently used technique that may supplement standard fluorescein angiography (FA). Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a relatively new imaging technique that was developed as a collaborative effort between Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Mass. Eye and Ear, and Harvard University. It is now used by ophthalmologists throughout the world to create cross-sectional images of the front or back of a patient's eye, similar to the images created by computed tomography ('CAT' or 'CT scan'). These detailed images of ocular structures provide assist your physician in a thorough examination. OCT imaging may be performed by your retina specialist in an office setting at the time of your visit. It is a rapid, non-invasive test, similar to the experience of having a photograph taken. OCT is invaluable in the diagnosis and monitoring of neovascular AMD over time, and your retina specialist will likely perform repeated measurements in order to follow the progress of your treatment. Ultrasound is a non-invasive test and is not associated with pain or side effects. It is most often used to diagnose eye pathology including tumors, especially when visualization to the interior structures is poor due to media opacities. Mass. Eye and Ear/Harvard Department of Ophthalmology is equipped with state-of-the-art technology for ophthalmic ultrasound. We are among the few places in North America that have ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and a dedicated, certified technician. UBM has a very high resolution (2 to 60 microns) compared to conventional ultrasound (300 to 600 microns), which allows your physician to study anterior eye structures very closely. Exceptionally experienced, the Mass. Eye and Ear Retina Service has performed tens of thousands of ultrasound procedures. Our specialists are involved in teaching the intricacies of his technology throughout the country. Make An Appointment Today! 617-573-3202

Wild five-run fifth lifts Orioles past Indians
BALTIMORE -- Wild? Wacky? Wonderful?
There were numerous ways to describe the events that unfolded in a bizarre five-run fifth inning, as the Orioles watched an ejection, a voluntary out and Indians starter Corey Kluber do his best David Beckham impression. But by the time Baltimore reliever Darren O'Day put the finishing touches on a game that included a 78-minute rain delay, there was just one letter that mattered in Thursday's unusual -- and incredibly entertaining contest -- a W.View Full Game Coverage
BALTIMORE -- Wild? Wacky? Wonderful?
There were numerous ways to describe the events that unfolded in a bizarre five-run fifth inning, as the Orioles watched an ejection, a voluntary out and Indians starter Corey Kluber do his best David Beckham impression. But by the time Baltimore reliever Darren O'Day put the finishing touches on a game that included a 78-minute rain delay, there was just one letter that mattered in Thursday's unusual -- and incredibly entertaining contest -- a W.View Full Game Coverage
Buoyed by a solid effort from starter Miguel Gonzalez, the Orioles beat the Indians, 7-3, to salvage a split in the four-game series and give Baltimore its second victory in seven games. The win pushes the Orioles (44-36) into sole possession of second place in the American League East, ahead of a New York Yankees team that will face Baltimore this weekend.
"It was a great game, and then it was a long night for us," Indians manager Terry Francona said as he watched Baltimore roar back with the five-run fifth. "We played a good team. Against a team like that, if you make a mistake, you'll pay for it."
With the Orioles down a run, Ryan Flaherty -- who had a two-run single in the second -- delivered his second hit to start the bottom of the fifth, and Nate McLouth drove the ninth pitch of his at-bat into center field to put runners on the corners. Third baseman Manny Machado followed with a strikeout that ended his inning early, as the 20-year-old earned his first career ejection from home-plate umpire Will Little.
Machado, who went down swinging, turned and said something to Little following the at-bat -- gesturing that he thought he had tipped the ball -- and Little gave him the thumb. The ejection ended a stretch of 1,206 consecutive innings played by Machado -- who was promoted from Double-A last August -- which was the longest active streak in baseball, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
"I swung at a bad pitch," said Machado, who admitted he earned the ejection with what he said to Little. "I thought I fouled it off. Obviously, I looked back on the replay, and I didn't. [It was] something that I said wrong to the umpire, and I have to pay the consequences for it. [I] let my team down. Obviously, something that won't happen again."
Machado's teammates picked him up, with Nick Markakis singling in a run and Adam Jones following with a blooper to load the bases for Chris Davis. With a crowd of 33,036 on its feet, Davis hit a ground ball to shortstop Mike Aviles for an apparent forceout, but the sliding Jones was actually called safe on the play. The Orioles center fielder didn't realize that and got up and trotted off the field from second base, with the ruling being that he was out because he left the basepaths.
"Ninety-nine percent of the time, you're out on that play," Jones said. "The one percent of the time, you know, I left the bag. Honest mistake, it didn't cost us, didn't hurt us. But I know there's a lot of good baserunners on Twitter now. ... And I'm also a great wide receiver and a general manager and a Fortune 500 business owner."
McLouth scored on the play and Davis' hustle beat the throw to first and extended the inning for catcher Matt Wieters' two-run double to deep right field. Wieters' ball, which was bobbled by right fielder Drew Stubbs, allowed him to advance to third, and he scored on J.J. Hardy's dribbler back to the mound, which Kluber tried to field and ended up kicking several yards into the visiting dugout railing.
"They're a really good offensive team," said Kluber, who exited after Hardy's hit. "When you make multiple mistakes in one inning, they can add up in a hurry against a team like that."
Gonzalez (6-3) was far more effective, holding the Indians to three runs and tying a career high with nine strikeouts in a 106-pitch outing. Gonzalez, who turned in the most strikeouts in an outing by an Orioles starter this year, surrendered a pair of solo homers -- to Lonnie Chisenhall and Aviles -- but otherwise kept Cleveland in check.
"I felt I was falling behind a little bit early, but then I settled down and worked with all the pitches I needed to, changing pitches, changing speeds to good hitters up and down," said Gonzalez, who credited the job Wieters did behind the plate for helping him settle in. "I think that was an important thing for me."
Gonzalez exited to a standing ovation after fanning red-hot Jason Kipnis, and lefty Brian Matusz got a popup to end the half-inning before rain halted play. Troy Patton pitched a 1-2-3 eighth and O'Day worked around a one-out single to end the game.
"Regardless of who is coming in, I've told you many times how challenging four-game series are," Showalter said. "To win that [game], guys had to battle through some tough conditions tonight. It's sticky, it's wet. It tests your concentration level, your 'want-to' there. So, I was real proud of everybody tonight. They jumped out there and our guys found a way to get some runs across."

Let me start off with a confession: I have multiple personas. No, not multiple personalities! I have multiple personas. And I'm pretty sure you do too! Erwin Goffman, the famous Canadian sociologist once observed that when we interact with others, we enter a stage and take on the role of an actor presenting a character to an audience. We start performing and in this performance, we present desired impressions of selves to others.
Goffman's idea of social interaction as a performance of identity is not all that different from what happens when we join a social media platform and use it to connect with others. Except that things get a little more complicated when we enter the online world. In real life, the confines of physical space easily identify the situational context in which our performance is to take place. When I drive to campus in the morning, the buildings, the reserved faculty parking lot, even the physical layout of the classrooms (with the chairs facing towards me & the blackboard) all remind me that I am about to step into my role of professor and that that is the front I will be performing for the next hour or so. All these contextual clues make it easy to figure out what stage play I will be enacting, and identifying my audience takes all but a quick glimpse around the room.
Who are we performing for online?
Online though, things start to get messy. Stages merge and audiences become fluid. When I enter the Twittersphere, digital audiences aren't as easy to define any longer. Yes, there's my primary audience composed of the people who chose to follow me on Twitter. But to think that that's my only audience might be a bit naïve. All it takes is one re-tweet for my message to leave the confines of my own Twitter network and to reach new audiences. Of course, my tweets also live on on my Twitter profile, which if set to public, means that my potential audience has just grown to pretty much anyone with an Internet connection. And let's not to forget the Library of Congress, which in 2010 announced plans to acquire every publicly shared tweet since 2006. Let's think about this! One day, years from now, my great-grandkids – an audience that doesn't even exist yet - might be reading my tweets through the Library of Congress archive. With all these potential audiences, how are we supposed to know any longer who we will be performing for?
To make matters even more complicated, thanks to cyberspace, I can also be present in multiple places at once. In Goffman's terms, I can now perform different plays to different audiences at the same time. Just think of a tweet: I can send it out via Twitter and simultaneously post it to Facebook and pull it into my blog, all of which have different audiences and serve different self presentational needs. That poses a problem though: Facebook Corinne and Twitter Corinne are not the same persona. And they're also slightly different from Corinne, the blogger. I'm a lot pickier about who I let join my Facebook network and I rarely let mere acquaintances in. If you want to connect with me on Facebook, I have to know you fairly well. As a result, you'd probably get to see a much more unfiltered version of Corinne than you would on Twitter. Twitter Corinne is an engaged professor and researcher, tweets in a number of languages and aside from the occasional (but justified) rant about AT&T's dismal phone service, tries to present a very professional image. But the point is this: although we may think of Facebook, blogs and Twitter as separate stages with different audiences each, sometimes the performance we stage for one audience gets viewed by an altogether different audience. Social media platforms have forced us to become actors on multiple stages with multiple sometimes overlapping audiences.
And that's not even taking into account an altogether different audience. When Goffman published his now seminal book "The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life" back in 1959, he probably couldn't have conceived of a digital world where actors might not just perform for human audiences but also for an audience of computers -- for search engines, or sophisticated algorithms. This additional audience goes back to a fundamental question about who these new social media platforms are really built for: "us," the user, or "them," the Internet giant, i.e. Google, Facebook, and company. When Google CEO Eric Schmidt argued that Google + was an identity service which depended on people to use their real names, he clearly answered that question. Google + wants you to use your real name, not because they want to protect you from putting creeps in your circles (although that would be nice), but because it helps them build better products. It helps them better target their ads and personalize your search results.
The fact that Zuckerberg and Schmidt didn't just built their platforms for the common good without any ulterior motives may not come as a shocker, but the idea that we are no longer just performing for human audiences has important implications for online self-presentation and identity management. If our identities are socially constructed through our stage performances, it matters whether they are viewed through the lense of a human being or an algorithm. It matters because humans and search engines don't see the same thing when they bump into you online.
My abandoned SL Avatar
Our online identities are fragmented. Partly because the web has become fragmented with walled communities popping up everywhere. As a social media professor, I feel pressured to keep up with these communities, so naturally I set up shop in them as soon as a new one arrives. In fact, I have created identities in so many of these services that I have no idea how many parts of me are floating around the Internet. I know there's VirtualCori, my Second Life avatar from way back when Second Life was still considered cool. Last I checked, she was stuck on my university's island chained to a wall in Plato's Allegory of the Cave (for those of you who are wondering: I had to leave her there at the end of class because I couldn't figure out how to unshackle her)… And then there's @corinnew, cweisgerber, and all the other ones whose avatars or screen names I don't even remember! Google tells me there are 3,470 fragments of my identity strewn all over the Internet. I have a fairly unique name and there are only 3 other Corinne Weisgerber's on the Internet that I am aware of: a 9 year younger version from my native Luxembourg, a slightly older version from next-door Belgium, and a Twitter spammer from San Antonio (I won't link to her - don't want to give her any Google juice) who tweets under my name and promotes winter jackets in sunny San Antonio… I can say with certitude that most of these 3,470 search results refer to me.
We know that most Internet users will never see all of that. Actually, the typical Internet user doesn't look beyond the first three pages of search results. But what if an audience could see all 3,470 fragments and piece them back together? That's exactly what data mining engines do. And that's what sets them apart from human beings. While we see identity fragments, engines see identity aggregates. That's not to say that humans can't sift through all the available identity data, but merely that most of us don't have the time or inclination to do so. Actually, leave it to the French to do that! In 2009, a French magazine called Le Tigre published an intimate portrait of a randomly chosen Internet user laced with private information garnered from social networking sites around the web. They called it the Google Portrait of Marc L. The idea was to pick a complete stranger and tell his life story based on the digital footprint that person either voluntarily or involuntarily left behind on the Internet.
Just like Marc L., we may feel comfortable sharing bits of private information online because we think that this one bit of information won't jeopardize our privacy. We may even comfort ourselves thinking that when looked at in isolation and by its intended audience, it doesn't reveal much. But what we tend to forget is that taken together, these pieces of information grow much more powerful. Once aggregated, they can draw a cohesive and troublingly intimate picture of our lives, or worse, they can completely misrepresent who we are. And that's where another danger comes in. Computers can't compete with human audiences when it comes to inferring meaning from pieces of data – at least not yet. They may not see the apparent irony of a pretend Twitter user from San Antonio, Texas who touts the virtues of fur jackets in the middle of one of the hottest summers in Texas history. Worse, the computer's inability to separate data from multiple owners of the same name may lead to inaccurate online portraits, such as those produced as a form of critique by MIT's Personas project, which scours the web for information and attempts to characterize the person.
So if the people we perform for only see a fragmented identity, and computers can't be trusted with making sense of these fragments, where does that leave strategic self-presentation? When we enter the realm of strategic performance of identity, the buzz-phrase that gets tossed around the most is that of personal branding. It's interesting that the phrase personal branding (although coined over 10 years ago) was popularized only recently when social media started taking off. It's interesting because we just entered a new digital communication era, an era in which the traditional top-down communication model was flipped on its head and the laws of message control no longer apply. It's what we teach in social media 101. It's what a lot of businesses had to learn the hard way: they are no longer in control of their messages. Yet, despite all these dramatic changes, we chose to talk about online identity in terms of a branding metaphor. A metaphor that is built on outdated assumptions of message control.
Why would we tell businesses they no longer control their messages but then go on pretending that we control our own personal brand? Sure, it makes us feel better to think that we do. But do we really? Interpersonal communication research tells us that on social networking sites the people in our network actually co-construct our identities. For instance, we know that if your Facebook friends are physically attractive, others on Facebook will perceive you as more physically attractive. If your Facebook friends are unattractive, you in turn, will be perceived as less attractive! An MIT project, referred to as Project Gaydar, even suggests that your Facebook connections can give away your sexual orientation. You may chose not to state your sexual orientation on Facebook, but you can't prevent your friends from identifying theirs. And according to a team of MIT students, that's enough information for an algorithm to predict whether or not you're straight or gay! The point is this: your online friends contribute to the construction of your identity the same way customer reviews on Yelp contribute to the construction of a brand's identity.
So why treat our online persona as a brand? We've just seen that this marketing concept doesn't work so well in a world where your friends can inadvertently leak your sexual orientation by identifying theirs. But even this branding metaphor is built on another metaphor: the word brand comes from "to burn" as in firebrand. Egyptians burned ownership onto cattle and slaves, which were seen as livestock and not people. This same practice was later continued in the U.S. In essence then, personal branding enslaves us as property of a strict image or set of ideas. A brand says we are this—not that. This idea is captured in popular personal branding advice such as "be clear about the image you intend to project. If you have more than one message you run the risk of confusing people about what you are all about." Or "make certain your brand message is consistent across all platforms."
I argue that being too concerned with branding restricts the self. Just take a look at U.S. leaders who conflate themselves to the ideology of the party even when it's clear their own beliefs are far more diverse and subtle. This has lead us to distrust elected officials as we see them as merely parroting talking points. Now compare that to a person like Steve Jobs. Jobs refused to be branded. He was not Apple. He was not Next, or Pixar. He was a unique self, full of contradictions and that's what humanized him. That's why we saw the outpouring of support when news of his death spread across the Internet.
The branding metaphor may work for a business but it doesn't work so well for an individual. Issues of ownership, distinction, possession, and enslavement confuse the metaphor. The problem is that we think of a brand in the classical way of thinking of the cosmos: it's either this or that. It can't be both. It's all about getting the positioning right. We used to think of a particle the same way: it is either here or there. It can't be both places at once. It can only have one position. Or can it? Quantum mechanics suggests it can. According to the Heisenberg principle though, once we observe the particle and try to measure it, we disturb the way it behaves. This in turn changes what we see.
Maybe that's the problem with online identity. If you look in one place you see one aspect of a person's identity. If you look in another place you find another aspect. What you're looking for, where you're looking for it and the instruments you use to do so will determine what you see. Just like in quantum mechanics. Maybe that's why we need a new metaphor to talk about online identity. Maybe the idea of the multiverse with its multiplicity of possible universes could somehow inform our concept of identity.
When you think about it, the Internet literally chops our identities into packets and hurls us piecemeal around the globe. Our digital identities, reduced to subatomic particles or electrons, fly at near light speed through semiconductors, wires, and cables strung across the ocean floor. We mount to the air as waves from satellites, cell phone towers, and wi-fi hotspots. We shoot out as streams of photons from our screens, as waves of sound from our speakers, and glide across the surface of our tablets with the brush of a finger.
Our very identities have become the indeterminate particles and waves of quantum theory. We do in essence exist in millions of places at once, being observed by a million others who interpret us in a myriad different ways. The Internet defies position, embraces fluidity, and fosters multiphrenia. Whether or not the concept of the multiverse stands the test of scientific rigor, I argue that it is an apt and useful metaphor to inform discussions of identity in our time. We can no longer speak definitively of position, of brand. Instead, we must speak of multiple voices and multiple interpretations, coexisting throughout our physical and digital world. We must embrace our multiple personas.

The two-part system consists of a stepped hardwood dowel and matching HSS (high-speed steel) drill bit. The great advantage of stepped dowels is easy insertion with minimal glue stripping since there is no scouring effect until they are three-quarters in. Excess dowel is trimmed and sanded flush. The dowels, available in birch, cherry, oak and walnut, are ribbed to provide greater surface area for adhesive.
The system is available in three configurations — mini for boards up to 3/4" thick (great for box or drawer construction), small for boards up to 1" thick, and large for boards up to 1-3/4" thick.
Starter kits include the appropriate size of stepped drill and 100 (mini kit) or 50 (small and large kits) matching stepped birch dowels.
A clever fastening system good for general joinery.
The Cherry Dowels are no longer available.

A Change of Strategy for Devon Energy
At the end of June, Linn Energy announced that it had entered into an agreement with Devon Energy to acquire $2.3 billion of natural gas producing land. This agreement has benefits for both parties.
On one hand, Devon was able to offload the land for a good price, which will help the company transition from a natural gas producer into an independent oil company. On the other hand, Linn's acquisition of these natural gas assets will allow the partnership to reduce its decline rate and lower its capital intensity.
Indeed, the assets Linn acquired from Devon are mature and already producing, which reduces execution risk and other issues usually associated with gas project start-up.
A change of strategy
Devon Energy, like almost all of the independent domestic oil and gas companies, is moving into the oil market and away from low-margin natural gas. The company is focusing its exploration and production in the Eagle Ford region.
This switch in strategy has catapulted Devon's earnings higher. With the price of natural gas remaining below $5 per MMBTU for much of the past five years, Devon's earnings had hit a wall, but the switch to oil changed that.
The company's oil production jumped 21% during the first quarter of this year to average 176,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Off the bank of this surge in oil production, its adjusted earnings jumped 103% year on year and cash flow jumped 41%.
Devon is planning to spend $1.5 billion to develop its Permian acreage this year. The company's leasehold has net risked resource estimated at 2.8 billion boe with around 8,000-plus drilling locations.
The cash raised by this disposal to Linn should help fund this development. The assets in question only contributed 7% of Devon's total output during the first quarter. In addition, including the sale to Linn, Devon has raised $5 billion through asset disposals over the past few quarters and paid down $4 billion in debt in the process.
The other side of the trade
Devon will benefit from the sale as it fits the company's business plan perfectly. The asset deal also has advantages for Linn.
As already covered above, these assets acquired from Devon are mature, gas-weighted properties. What's more, the company is planning to fund the acquisition of these properties through the sale of its high-decline Granite Wash assets.
According to some analysts, Linn's Granite Wash properties are declining at a rate of around 40%, while the Devon properties have a decline rate of closer to 14%. A lower decline rate generally means that assets produce more hydrocarbons for a longer period.
Indeed, with these new assets from Devon, Linn will be able to reduce its capital expenditures and operation maintenance budget significantly. Some estimates predict that Linn could cut its capex cost by around 50% per annum thanks to this deal. Wall Street believes that Linn could save around $400 million per annum on lower capex.
Foolish summary
So all in all, the deal between Linn and Devon has advantages for both parties. Devon has been able to cut its exposure to low-margin natural gas, and it can use the proceeds to boost its oil production.
Linn, on the other hand, will profit because it has acquired mature assets with a low decline rate. The partnership should be able to cut capital spending as part of the deal, which will boost its margins and profits.
Do you know this energy tax "loophole"?
You already know record oil and natural gas production is changing the lives of millions of Americans. But what you probably haven't heard is that the IRS is encouraging investors to support our growing energy renaissance, offering you a tax loophole to invest in some of America's greatest energy companies. Take advantage of this profitable opportunity by grabbing your brand-new special report, "The IRS Is Daring You to Make This Investment Now!," and you'll learn about the simple strategy to take advantage of a little-known IRS rule. Don't miss out on advice that could help you cut taxes for decades to come. Click here to learn more.

|MySQL Community Server 5.6.14 has been released
|View as plain text
Dear MySQL users, MySQL Server 5.6.14, a new version of the popular Open Source Database Management System, has been released. MySQL 5.6.14 is recommended for use on production systems. For an overview of what's new in MySQL 5.6, please see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/mysql-nutshell.html Starting with 5.6.11, Microsoft Windows packages for MySQL 5.6 are available both as a "full" installer and as a "web" installer. The full installer is significantly larger and comes bundled with the latest software releases available. This bundle makes it easy to download and configure a full server and development suite. The web installer doesn't come bundled with any actual products and instead relies on download-on-demand to fetch only the products you choose to install. This makes the initial download much smaller but increases install time as the individual products will need to be downloaded. For information on installing MySQL 5.6.14 on new servers or upgrading to MySQL 5.6.14 from previous MySQL releases, please see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/installing.html MySQL Server is available in source and binary form for a number of platforms from our download pages at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ Not all mirror sites may be up to date at this point in time, so if you can't find this version on some mirror, please try again later or choose another download site. We welcome and appreciate your feedback, bug reports, bug fixes, patches, etc: https://wikis.oracle.com/display/mysql/Contributing The following section lists the changes in the MySQL source code since the previous released version of MySQL 5.6. It may also be viewed online at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.6/en/news-5-6-14.html Enjoy! Changes in MySQL 5.6.14 (2013-09-20) Bugs Fixed * InnoDB; Partitioning: Following any query on the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARTITIONS table, InnoDB index statistics as shown in the output of statements such as SHOW INDEX were updated, even with innodb_stats_on_metadata=OFF. (Bug #16860588) * InnoDB: When logging the delete-marking of a record during online ALTER TABLE...ADD PRIMARY KEY, InnoDB writes the transaction ID to the log as it was before the deletion or delete-marking of the record. When doing this, InnoDB would overwrite the DB_TRX_ID field in the original table, which could result in locking issues. (Bug #17316731) * InnoDB: The row_sel_sec_rec_is_for_clust_rec function would incorrectly prepare to compare a NULL column prefix in a secondary index with a non-NULL column in a clustered index. (Bug #17312846) * InnoDB: An incorrect purge would occur when rolling back an update to a delete-marked record. (Bug #17302896) * InnoDB: An assertion would be raised in fil_node_open_file due to a missing .ibd file. Instead of asserting, InnoDB should return false and the caller of fil_node_open_file should handle the return message. (Bug #17305626, Bug #70007) * InnoDB: The assertion ut_ad(oldest_lsn <= cur_lsn) in file buf0flu.cc would fail because the current max LSN would be retrieved from the buffer pool before the oldest LSN. (Bug #17252421) * InnoDB: InnoDB memcached add and set operations would perform more slowly than SQL INSERT operations. (Bug #17214191) * InnoDB: The InnoDB memcached plugin could be initialized to insert into an InnoDB table with an INTEGER primary key. (Bug #17203937) * InnoDB: As commented in log0log.h, old_lsn and old_buf_free should only be compiled when UNIV_LOG_DEBUG is enabled. (Bug #17160270, Bug #69724) * InnoDB: InnoDB would rename a user-defined foreign key constraint containing the string "_ibfk_" in its name, resulting in a duplicate constraint. (Bug #17076737, Bug #69693, Bug #17076718, Bug #69707) * InnoDB: A regression introduced in the fix for Bug #14606334 would cause crashes on startup during crash recovery. (Bug #16996584) * InnoDB: Rolling back an INSERT after a failed BLOB write would result in an assertion failure. The assertion has been modified to allow NULL BLOB pointers if an error occurs during a BLOB write. (Bug #16971045) * InnoDB: The ha_innobase::clone function would incorrectly assert that a thread cannot clone a table handler that is used by another thread, and that the original table handler and the cloned table handler must belong to the same transaction. The incorrect assertions have been removed. (Bug #17001980) * InnoDB: When dropping all indexes on a column with multiple indexes, InnoDB would fail to block a DROP INDEX operation when a foreign key constraint requires an index. (Bug #16896810) * InnoDB: An assertion failure would occur in file row0log.cc on ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT tables that contained an unexpected but valid data directory flag. (Bug #16863098) * InnoDB: A regression introduced with the fix for Bug #11762038 would cause InnoDB to raise an incorrect error message. The message stated that, "InnoDB cannot delete/update rows with cascading foreign key constraints that exceed max depth of 20". The error message would occur when killing connections reading from InnoDB tables that did not have foreign key constraints. (Bug #16710923) * InnoDB: In debug builds, an assertion failure would occur if innodb_log_group_home_dir does not exist. Instead of an assertion, InnoDB now aborts with an error message if innodb_log_group_home_dir does not exist. (Bug #16691130, Bug #69000) * InnoDB: For the Barracuda file format and beyond, the externally stored prefix would be read even though the prefix is already stored locally in memory. (Bug #16569640) * InnoDB: When changing the shared tablespace file name using innodb_data_file_path and leaving the current log files in place, InnoDB would create a new tablespace file and overwrite the log files resulting in a mismatch between the data dictionary and tables on disk. This bug fix ensures that InnoDB does not create a new tablespace if there are inconsistent system tablespaces, undo tablespaces, or redo log files. (Bug #16418661) * InnoDB: Persistent stats would be disabled unnecessarily when running in read-only mode. When running in read-only mode, fetching stats from disk does not involve any modification of on-disk data except for when ANALYZE TABLE is run. This fix enables persistent stats for read-only mode. (Bug #16083211) * InnoDB: The documentation incorrectly stated that START TRANSACTION WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT provides a consistent SNAPSHOT only works with REPEATABLE READ. All other isolation levels are ignored. The documentation has been revised and a warning is now generated whenever the WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT clause is ignored. (Bug #14017206, Bug #65146) * InnoDB: The srv_master_thread background thread, which monitors server activity and performs activities such as page flushing when the server is inactive or in a shutdown state, runs on a one second delay loop. srv_master_thread would fail to check if the server is in a shutdown state before sleeping. (Bug #13417564, Bug #63276) * InnoDB: An infinite loop could occur in buf_page_get_gen when handling compressed-only pages. (Bug #12560151, Bug #61132) * Replication: When the --relay-log-info-file option was used together with --slave-parallel-workers set to a value greater than 1, mysqld failed to start. (Bug #17160671) * If the mysql_real_connect() C API function failed, it could leak memory. (Bug #17337684) * Savepoints could not be used successfully following an ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error (or ER_LOCK_WAIT_TIMEOUT error, if innodb_rollback_on_timeout was enabled). (Bug #17356954) References: This bug is a regression of Bug #14188793. * Full-text search on InnoDB tables failed on searches that used the + boolean operator. (Bug #17280122) * For single-threaded workloads, the optimizer recognizes some special cases for which it can avoid function calls and enhance performance. (Bug #17234723) * SELECT * from performance_schema.events_statements_current could raise an assertion due to a race condition under load. (Bug #17164720) * AES_ENCRYPT() and AES_DECRYPT() failed to work correctly when MySQL was built with an AES_KEY_LENGTH value of 192 or 256. (Bug #17170207) * InnoDB full-text searches failed in databases whose names began with a digit. (Bug #17161372) * A successful connection failed to reset the per-IP address counter used to count successive connection failures. This could possibly cause a host to be blocked, when the max_connect_errors limit was reached. (Bug #17156507) * Under load, truncating the accounts Performance Schema table could cause a server exit. (Bug #17084615) * With the thread pool plugin enabled and SSL in use, an error in one connection might affect other connections, causing them to experience a lost connection. (Bug #17087862) * Within a stored program, comparison of the value of a scalar subquery with an IN clause resulted in an error for the first execution and raised an assertion for the second execution. (Bug #17029399) * A race condition in the thread pool plugin could cause status variables such as Aborted_connects not to be incremented and permitting concurrent kills to happen for the same thread ID. (Bug #16959022) * The my_strtoll10() function could incorrectly convert some long string-format numbers to numeric values and fail to set the overflow flag. (Bug #16997513) * Excessive memory consumption was observed for multiple execution of a stored procedure under these circumstances: 1) The stored procedure had an SQL statement that failed during validation. 2) The stored procedure had an SQL statement that required repreparation. (Bug #16857395) * For partitioned tables, queries could return different results depending on whether Index Merge was used. (Bug #16862316) * For some statements, memory leaks could result when the optimizer removed unneeded subquery clauses. (Bug #16807641) References: This bug is a regression of Bug #15875919. * Password rewriting in the general query log now also applies to prepared statements. (Bug #16732621) * Within a stored procedure, repeated execution of a prepared CREATE TABLE statement for a table with partitions could cause a server exit. (Bug #16614004) * For debug builds, when the optimizer removed an Item_ref pointing to a subquery, it caused a server exit. (Bug #16509874) References: This bug is a regression of Bug #16318585. * If the primary key for the mysql.proc system table was removed (an unsupported and not-recommended operation), the server exited for subsequent stored procedure invocation. Similar problems could occur for other system tables. Now an error occurs instead. (Bug #16373054) * Deadlocks involving metadata locks and InnoDB deadlocks were both reported as an ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error, but only InnoDB deadlocks rolled back the transaction. Now both deadlocks roll back the transaction. (Bug #14188793) * Metadata returned for a prepared SELECT statement that had outer joins could indicate that columns containing NULL values were NOT NULL. (Bug #12818811) * For queries that accessed an INFORMATION_SCHEMA table in a subquery, and attempt to lock a mutex that had already been locked could cause a server crash. (Bug #11765744) * For failure to create a new thread for the event scheduler, event execution, or new connection, no message was written to the error log. This could lead to the impression that the event scheduler was running normally when it was not. (Bug #67191, Bug #14749800, Bug #16865959) * mysqldump wrote SET statements as SET OPTION, which failed when reloaded because the deprecated OPTION keyword has been removed from SET syntax. (Bug #67507, Bug #15844882) * For better robustness against stack overflow, the server now accounts for the size of the guard area when making thread stack size requests. (Bug #35019, Bug #11748074) * The libmysql.dll library was missing several symbols: my_init, mysql_client_find_plugin, mysql_client_register_plugin, mysql_load_plugin, mysql_load_plugin_v, mysql_options4, and mysql_plugin_options. (Bug #69204, Bug #16797982, Bug #62394) * If one connection changed its default database and simultaneously another connection executed SHOW PROCESSLIST, the second connection could access invalid memory when attempting to display the first connection's default database. memory. (Bug #58198, Bug #11765252) * Full-text search on InnoDB tables failed on searches for words containing apostrophes when using boolean operators. (Bug #69932, Bug #17276125) * InnoDB deadlock caused transaction rollback but did not release metadata locks, blocking concurrent DDL on the transaction tables until the connection that got the deadlock issued an explicit COMMIT or ROLLBACK.

A 12-year-old Southeast Texas boy has been praised by police for his bravery when he reported burglars in his house and he hid in the closet.
Port Arthur police on Monday said Deion Murdock was home alone the afternoon of Aug. 20 when he called 911 to report "they just broke the window."
Dispatcher LaTonya James tells the youth that help is coming.
The boy hid in a bedroom closet and quietly talked to the dispatcher, who told him he was doing good, and to stay out of sight and remain on the phone.
Police arrested two men who allegedly ran from the house.
Lajohn Wilson and Jarrod Johnson were jailed Monday on charges of burglary of a habitation with bond set at $25,000 each.
No attorneys were listed for the suspects.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that Russian forces had been deployed to Crimea last month to support local defense teams, the first time he has admitted such involvement by Russia.
Putin had repeatedly denied sending any forces to Crimea ahead of the March referendum there that eventually led to the region's annexation by Russia. Putin said the troops were deployed to protect Russian-speaking citizens in Crimea.
"Of course we had our servicemen behind the self-defense units of Crimea," Putin said during an annual televised call-in with the nation on Thursday. "We had to make sure what is happening now in eastern Ukraine didn't happen there."
Three pro-Russian militants died and 13 were wounded Thursday as Ukraine's military defended an attack on its Black Sea base, according to The Associated Press.
The United States and other Western nations have accused Russia of being behind similar unrest in eastern Ukraine, promising additional sanctions if events continue on their current path. Again on Thursday, Putin denied any Russian military forces are in east Ukraine, but many have noted how the situation in eastern Ukraine is starting to play out exactly as it did in Crimea.
In March, Putin's repeated denials of troop deployments in Crimea dumbfounded U.S. officials. When told at a press conference Putin had again denied the charges, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry couldn't believe it, asking, "He really denied there were troops in Crimea?"
In a press conference earlier that day in Russia, Putin was asked by reporters about the mysterious appearance of men in green uniforms in Crimea. He called them local self-defense units.
"There are many military uniforms. Go into any local shop and you can find one," he said.
He also said then that Russia had no plans to annex Crimea — which happened less than a month later.

About Moondog
A mostly self-taught composer, Louis Hardin was born in Marysville, KS on May 26, 1916. The family eventually moved to Wyoming, where his father, who had been an Episcopalian minister, opened a trading post at Fort Bridger, and had two different ranches. Young Hardin went to school in a log cabin in Burnt Fork, WY, and fished, hunted, and trapped. Later, he rode a horse to school in Long Tree, a cattle community. He wrote that his first drum set " ...at the age of five, was a cardboard box". He also went with his father to an Arapho Sun Dance, where he sat on Chief Yellow Calf's lap and played the buffalo skin tom-tom. Later, in 1949, he played tom-tom and flute at a Sun Dance held by the Blackfoot in Idaho. The constant "tom-tom" beat became incorporated in many of his later pieces, such as the complex canon for marimbas "Wind River Powwow: Arapa-Host, Arapa-Home, Arapa-Hope." He played drums in Hurley High School in 1929, and he lost his sight in his early teens when a dynamite cap exploded. He studied music and finished high school at the Iowa School for the Blind, and in 1933, studied braille at the Missouri School for the Blind in St. Louis. "I write all my music in braille. When I write for orchestra, I do not write scores any more, but just write out parts, for the score is in my head and just writing out the parts cuts the time and cost in half ... anyhow, if my pieces were ever in demand, a score to each could be made from the parts. I call this process 'intracting', as opposed to the opposite, having a score and 'extracting' parts from it. From the braille I dictate every slur, tie, expression mark." It is then written in pencil by another person, read back and corrected, then inked in by another person - " .. double trouble". Hardin lived in Batesville, AR until 1942 when he got a scholarship to study in Memphis. However, he mostly taught himself ear training and other musical skills, and theory from books in braille. In the fall of 1943, he came to New York and met Artur Rodzinski, Leonard Bernstein, and then Toscanini. In a legendary story, Hardin made to kiss Toscanini's hand " ... whereupon he pulled it away, saying, 'I am not a beautiful woman'". Hardin began using the name Moondog as a pen name in 1947 in honor of a dog "who used to howl at the moon more than any dog I knew of." His music, constructed of direct musical gestures and built mostly from pure modal themes expanded by sophisticated contrapuntal techniques, would now receive the avant-garde label of "minimal" or pattern music, but this sound has characterized his music since the late '40s, and is thus a precursor of that postmodern compositional style. In New York, Moondog began to meet legendary jazz performer-composers, such as Charlie Parker and Benny Goodman, and to incorporate jazz inflections, as well as humorous philosophical couplets and environmental sounds into his recorded compositions -- the early recordings on the Prestige label in 1956 - 1957 contain brief pieces such as "Up Broadway/The impressions of Moondog as He Passes Birdland and the Palladium up the Great White Way ... (a) Broadway and 52nd St., the Jazz Corner of the World. A dog Trot in 1/4 Time ... (b) Broadway and 53rd St, the Afro-Cuban Corner of the World -- A Bumbo in 4/4 time ...," and a duet for the whistle of the ocean liner the Queen Elizabeth and a bamboo flute. Moondog also sold his printed music and records, and performed on the streets of Manhattan. His music truly expressed a universal vision with the best of American musical sensibilities. Moondog passed away on September 8, 1999 in Germany at the age of 83. ~ "Blue" Gene Tyranny

WEIMER: Preserve holiday spirit all year
The frantic, last minute Christmas rush is over. Bright bow-decked packages have disappeared from under the tree and become a rainbow of crumpled papers the garbage men have already hauled away.
If you are frugal, you salvaged what wrappings you could for next year. Environmentalists want us to do this and thereby help the landfill. Adults unwrap packages more carefully than children.
But if you use decorative bags, wrapping goes much faster and re-use is easier.
Many families savee the bows and ribbons and place them in boxes.
The beautiful bows go back and forth through the family from year to year.
You may have tales to go with each ribbon and the past gifts that bore it.
We can remember buying and wrapping while our hearts were overflowing with the warm, loving spirit of giving.
No gift was too expensive or too hard to find if it would make someone we loved happy.
Today, I have noticed some people don't pay too much attention to the wrappings or bows, they are wadded up and flung into the pile with others and don't really think about saving anything much.
Have you started purchasing your gifts for 2013? With all of the terrific January sales, I know so many of my friends who start their purchasing now.
They listen to what is said as people open presents and and admire other peoples' gifts.
They make a mental note and then start looking for that item now Sometimes by fall they have their shopping done.
Of course, they have a certain place in their home where everything purchased is placed with a list of those purchases, etc. so there is no mix-up when it comes holiday time.
They are the intelligent and organized folks.
When that gift is opened, they look up in surprise and say, "How did you know?" They then reveal their source.
Christmas fashion never goes out of style so the holiday apparel can be purchased a year ahead and still be popular.
You can still have the spirit of the season.
Now I wonder if there are those who have that holiday "let-down?" Will we pack away that generous spirit along with the bows, to be brought out again next year? Will we soon forget the joy of the Christmas season? Will we still be willing to help fill a food basket for a needy family, clothe a naked child, set aside grievances or forgive a sharp word?
If we shared our lives with the same generous and good feelings throughout the year as we do at holiday time, wouldn't it be a much better world to live in?
Let us start with the New Year with just a part of these feelings and see if we can't get through 2013 with all of them.

In preparation for [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Bon Jovi[/lastfm]'s upcoming, sure-to-be-epic Live On Letterman webcast (November 9 at 8pm ET/5pm PT), we've rounded up a selection of duets that Jon has performed over the years with various artists. Some aren't too big of a stretch ([lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Bruce Springsteen[/lastfm]), while others are truly unique, including a version of the [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Ben E. King[/lastfm] classic "Stand By Me" with Iranian singer [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Andy Madadian[/lastfm].
5) [lastfm]Willie Nelson[/lastfm] feat [lastfm]Jon Bon Jovi[/lastfm] – "You Were Always on My Mind"
There are over 300 recorded releases of this song by a wide range of artists, though "Always on My Mind" is most closely associated with Willie Nelson, who won a Grammy for his recording of it in 1983. Both performers do an excellent job.
4) [lastfm]Andy Madadian[/lastfm], [lastfm]Jon Bon Jovi[/lastfm], [lastfm]Richie Sambora[/lastfm] & Friends – "Stand by Me"
Jon Bon Jovi and bandmate Richie Sambora recorded a new version of "Stand By Me" with Iranian singer Andy Madadian, under the direction of producer [lastfm]Don Was[/lastfm]. The recording is meant to support the independence of the Iranian people.
3) Jon Bon Jovi and [lastfm]Bruce Springsteen[/lastfm] – "It's My Life"
The song is a karaoke favorite thanks to lines like: "It's my life/It's now or never /I ain't gonna live forever /I just want to live while I'm alive." Mix the energy of Bon Jovi with that of fellow Jerseyite Springsteen, and you might just implode with emotion.
2) Jon Bon Jovi and [lastfm]Jennifer Nettles[/lastfm] of [lastfm]Sugarland[/lastfm] – "Who Says You Can't Go Home"
Bon Jovi's band became the first rock group to top the country singles chart, with a little help from duet partner Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland.
1) Jon Bon Jovi and Pavarotti – "Let it Rain"
A video featuring Bon Jovi rocking the stage with Italian tenor [lastfm]Luciano Pavarotti[/lastfm]? We were in disbelief, too! Watch now and feel the magic.
Watch Bon Jovi perform a Live on Letterman concert webcast, direct from the stage of the Ed Sullivan Theater, on Tuesday, Nov. 9 at 8pm Eastern (5pm Pacific).

At my daughterâs dental check-up today, things went as they normally did. However, upon examining the x-rays of my 6-year-oldâs teeth, her dentist (whom weâve been seeing since she cut her first teeth) blurted out âyour child is missing a tooth"!! I was shocked, appalled and caught totally off guard. While I am trying to absorb this information my, now traumatized for life, daughter has this look of shock and heartbreak on her face and immediately bursts into hysterical crying. I thought the dentist was extremely tactless in saying this in front of my daughter without any discernment for her presence! Needless to say, I am now looking for a new pediatric dentist. The problem still remains. I looked at the x-ray and saw there was no incisor on the left of the upper arch. The dentist told me that there was pretty much nothing to be done and this is a common hereditary problem. No one in either her fatherâs or my family have had dental problems, we have ALL of our teeth. I had spaces in my teeth growing up but now I have ALL of mine including the four wisdoms. Iâve never heard of this before. She also claims that the canine will grow in the incisors place. Now my daughter will have three front teeth instead of four? How can this happen? What are my options? ( I know braces can help, but it will still affect her smile and personality after being traumatized in such a way). Is it possible that the tooth could be BEHIND the canine? Please help!!! I just need a "second opinion". I will seek another dentist for her next visit.
Missing permanent teeth are fairly common, and the upper lateral incisors are among the most frequently involved. The good news is that there are two good options for care, and after treatment your daughter will have a healthy and attractive smile.
One option is to allow the upper canine to erupt into the position of the missing lateral incisor and then close all the spaces orthodontically. The canine can be esthetically recontoured and restored to resemble the missing tooth. Sometimes this option involves extracting the opposite lateral incisor. While this sounds like radical treatment, it can yield beautiful and stable results in the right cases.
The other option is to use orthodontic braces to hold open the space for the missing lateral incisor. When your daughter's growth is complete, an implant can be placed in the space of the missing tooth. For girls, this may be in the mid to late teens. An attractive "false" tooth can be attached to the braces to mask the missing one in the meantime.
The correct option for your daughter can only be determined after consultation with dentists in your area who are experienced in managing these problems. Do not hesitate to gather several opinions before you decide what is best for your daughter.

At an elevation of over 1,800 feet, the city of Alpine was named for its resemblance to the landscapes of Switzerland. It is a rugged and diverse region situated in the foothills of the Cuyamaca Mountains, and its eastern limits serve as a gateway to San Diego County's wilderness areas, including the expansive Cleveland National Forest. A more rural community, 30 miles from downtown San Diego, roughly one-third of its residents travel outside the city for work. The city sits along Interstate 8 for easy commuting. It has a small population of just over 14,000 people, and the median household income is approximately $83,000.
