Miami (Ohio) quarterback Zac Dysert suffered a slight tear to his right hamstring Monday while training for next week's NFL Scouting Combine, according to a source close to Dysert.
The injury occurred at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., where Dysert has been training under the tutelage of former NFL quarterback Chris Weinke and alongside other 2013 quarterback prospects Geno Smith of West Virginia and Tyler Wilson of Arkansas.
Dysert, considered a mid-round prospect in the 2013 draft, is expected to be out three to four weeks, according to the source, and he plans to throw during Miami's pro day on March 21 in Oxford, Ohio.
Dysert led all Mid-American Conference quarterbacks with 3,483 passing yards this past season.

You had to search in the small section "Faits divers" (various news) in the state run newspapers to find the information that one of the most important libraries in Tunis – Institut de Belles Lettres Arabes (IBLA) – had been victim to a serious fire on the 5th of January . 60 percent of the library was destroyed by fire and water, and its director, Father Gian-Battista Maffi died in the flames.
IBLA was established in 1926 by the order of the White Fathers, a Christian society of the missionaries of Africa. The White Fathers' society was founded in Algeria in 1868 by (the French) Archbishop of Algiers Mgr Charles Lavigerie. In Tunisia the White Fathers established a "Study House" (Foyer d'Etudes) and over the years they have collected irreplaceable books, periodicals, reviews, articles and handwritings concerning Tunisia, the Maghreb and Africa. The library was a treasury for researchers especially in the humanities. You could often find sources here which were not found in other libraries. Now 10-12000 of these volumes are gone to ashes. As a researcher you have to lament this incident. As one Tunisian blogger wrote: "Part of our memory turned into ashes". This actually signifies the importance of IBLA. Here it was possible to find different memories, other stories and identities than the ones that have been told by the regime ever since the founding of the nation. Many Tunisian bloggers joined the general depressive mode of those concerned about culture in Tunisia on the occasion of the fire at IBLA. They are concerned about the low – if any – current priority and status of culture in Tunisia.
But as another blogger ironically says with a cartoon on his blog: "Since when can you eat culture".
Another version of this cartoon which is often heard in Tunisia is: "Since when can you eat democracy". A full stomach and the sisha in the hand (water pipe), then the Tunisian is happy. "Just don't touch my pocket money", one young business man says as an ironic stereotype of the Tunisians. They are very happy with the arrival of strongholds of consumerism such as Carrefour, Benetton and Zara. And with the "Mega Projects that will change the face of Tunisia" such as The Rades Bridge, The Enfidha Airport, The information technology City of the Century, and The City of Culture with seven studios for musical, theatrical and dancing production, an 1800-seat opera house and a media library.
But hold on! A city of culture as a mega project? Then why are the bloggers, the intellectual, cultural Tunisians and the well educated young businessmen whining over the state of the culture in Tunisia? Over the ignorance of both the regime and their fellow Tunisians of local culture? Exactly because the new culture house is a mega project. A prestige project which they first of all see as a monument of the regime. The fact that The City of Culture is the neighbor to the headquarters of the ruling party does not reduce this impression. At the same time, dozens of local, small theatres close to the populations have been closed for years because of lack of money, the famous critical Tunisian cinema has remained unproductive for more than a decade and people lack means of expression of their history, their traditions and their local culture. Consumerism – and satisfaction of this longing for consumerism by the regime – has become so important that the news about the fire at IBLA was to be found under "Faits divers" while the front page's breaking news the same day was the government's priority of speeding up the development of infrastructure, technology and industry. As one blogger puts it: "On the priority list of the young tie-guys comes first "khobza" (bread)". Remember: Just don't touch my pocket money and take my bread away. The blogger continues: "Then comes information technology and communication. To them Tunisia is in phase with time because the country is number 66 of the world in application of information technology and communication in public administrations while holding the low position of number 142 of the world's countries in democracy". Well, since when can you eat democracy?
With the fire at IBLA an important part of the memory of Tunisia turned into ashes. Literally. 12.000 periodicals, reviews, articles and handwritings are now lacking to current researchers and coming generations working on other versions of history, culture, politics and traditions than the narratives prevailing since the birth of the nation state.

This weekend we put on a small 5K out at the Fairplex in Pomona. With a heat wave happening the week leading up to the race, we were quite nervous about what the weather would be like on race morning for our 5K. It was a special event that was taking place all over the country to honor those who lives were lost in 9/11. It was the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers 5K race that originated in New York, but this year in honor of the 10 year anniversary they were having a lot of satellite races throughout the US. It was a really great event to be a part of.
The night before we got to visit the fair while we were setting up a few things. We even went to see the concert that night, One Republic. They were really good, but like usual, the wake up call was far too early and we left the concert early to get some sleep.
Here are just a few pictures from the fair the night before.
Race morning came quite early, but it was a shorter day since it was only a 5K I knew that it wouldn't be too long and of course I was very excited for all the event since it was the first time that we were doing this event. It was definitely an emotional morning and there were so many people out to run the race and show their support and honor the memory of those lost.
The start line was kicked off with bag pipes, a moment of silence and the national anthem. It was incredible. There was also a group of fire recruits that came out and were running as a group. I love those groups. They carried a large flag and were in cadence the entire time. I can't imagine doing all that yelling while I'm running.
The weather turned out perfectly and it was a great day, overall. Everyone was in such good spirits and it was really meaningful to see everyone come together for such a moving event.
Here's the finish line
The event was over around 11 and we just have minimal clean up and stuff to take care of to complete the day. Overall a really good event with a lot of moving tributes and moments. There were a lot of people out with special shirts to let everyone know that their loved one was fighting for our freedom. You can check out this blog for a few more pictures!
Thank you to everyone that came out and now it's onward ho to Long Beach.
This morning I got my workout done early with a spin class and realized that I need new running shoes, and that might help alleviate the little shin pain I have when running. :) Should have thought of that sooner!

What in the Da One-Eyed Jack Hell, is happening here?
Watch as A.R. Stylez, Pharm, Just-Ty, Lucky Tatt and Flii Boy drop their mess over a Czar Beat production.
I don't know if this was in the form of satire, or were they in need of a Cypher Tune Up?
These are not "Hot 16′s", these are "mild 13′s!"
I am more convinced than ever, that my 86 -Year- Old Grandma can kill a Cypher!
Just Playing!
Seriously, these MC's were creative and I see immense talent and motivation, and they with more practice can improve their craft.
Some of those youtube comments were unjustified, and just hateful.
You NEVER HATE on new talent, because their ambition could be the only thing that they are working for, to keep them from living a life of crime!
Encourage don't discourage!
I am messing with you talented and brave men that took the time to do your thing, while others hated in the YouTube comment section.
Go Justina, you are fire!

Suns name McDonough general manager
Phoenix, AZ – The Phoenix Suns have named Ryan McDonough as the club's new general manager.
McDonough had been with the Boston Celtics since 2003 in a variety of roles, serving the past three years as the assistant general manager under president of basketball operations Danny Ainge.
"Ryan distinguished himself among an impressive group of candidates for our GM position," said Suns president of basketball operations Lon Babby. "His natural leadership and communication skills will serve the Suns well. And, his prodigious work ethic and ability to identify talent will enable us to take full advantage of the 10 draft choices, including six in the first round, that we have over the next three years. We welcome his championship pedigree to our organization."
McDonough joined the Celtics in 2003 as a special assistant in basketball operations, then became director of amateur scouting in 2007 and director of international scouting in 2008. He was named director of player personnel in 2008 before his promotion to assistant GM in 2010.
The 33-year-old Massachusetts native is the son of the late Boston Globe columnist Will McDonough and the brother of broadcaster Sean McDonough.

Jasmine is a spiritual scent, known to relieve melancholy and have a soothing effect on the inner self. It can be intensely floral, and is so feminine. As the winter to spring transition takes place, I find myself clinging to the scent of jasmine. It's powerful yet light and I think it is soothing my inner self. That, and the hot yoga I've been doing!
Here are some jasmine beauty products worth taking note of:
Pacifica California Jasmine Perfume Roll-on – This scent is everything you'd think with "California" in the name – it's laidback and has a "I walk along the beach" vibe. The jasmine is more subdued here, woven in with driftwood and a pop of orange. I love the ease of the rollerball, and find that while it starts out strong it dries down to the softest scent almost immediately. And I usually throw the solid version in my purse for touch-ups throughout the day.
NP Set Jasmine Body Lotion – As if you needed another reason to love Target…well, here's one. A giant tub (16.9 oz) of body lotion infused with jasmine essential oils, available for $14.99. This lotion has a lovely thick consistency but feels light as a feather on the skin. The jasmine scent is a little deeper and long-lasting on the skin. Days I use this, it doubles as my perfume.
Korres Jasmine Lip Butter – Korres Lip Butters are a constant staple in my beauty regimen. They soften my lips, and the Jasmine Lip Butter is the most perfect milky pink lip color. Plus, the scent, a vanilla jasmine, is to die. I can never get enough of this.
Oscar Blandi Olio Di Jasmine Shine Spray – Oscar Blandi's Jasmine collection is easily the best-smelling line of hair care on the market! It's addictive, really. I use the Olio Di Jasmine Shine Spray to give my hair some shine (used sparingly, and not on the roots!), and spritz it on just before a swipe of the flat iron. It keeps my hair healthy-looking and feeling, thanks to the Italian Olive Oil housed in the bottle. Did I mention how GOOD it smells?!
I think it's fair to say I've developed a penchant for jasmine this spring. What's your go-to signature for this time year? Any scents you're loving?

Tim Samaras, 1957–2013
The engineer died doing what he loved: collecting tornado data
As a child, Tim Samaras frustrated his parents by sneaking kitchen appliances into his bedroom to dismantle them. One day his mother had to coax him to come watch a movie musical with her. It was The Wizard of Oz, and the 9-year-old sat transfixed throughout the tornado scene. As he recalled last year, his only thought was: "I've got to take that apart!" For much of the last two decades, the tornado chaser tried to do just that (SN: 7/28/12, p. 32).
On May 31, Samaras, 55,

GlassFish Server provides a way that completely avoids caching of entity beans, using commit option C. Commit option C is particularly useful if beans are accessed in large number but very rarely reused. For additional information, refer to Commit Options.
The GlassFish Server caches can be either bounded or unbounded. Bounded caches have limits on the number of beans that they can hold beyond which beans are passivated. For stateful session beans, there are three ways (LRU, NRU and FIFO) of picking victim beans when cache overflow occurs. Caches can also passivate beans that are idle (not accessed for a specified duration).

Stock Notice Request
After reading many other positive reviews on both the GWR and Miata forums I finally decided to buy this product. My main concern for many months was whether or not I was up to the task of installing the header. But with the excellent instructions on Brian's forum as well as several Miata forum threads it turned out easier than I expected. After receiving notice that the header would arrive on a Friday afternoon, I began the disassembly process. After about 3 hours I had the stock manifold out. Later that afternoon the new catted header arrived right on schedule. And it is a thing of beauty. I opted for the stainless version. Installation on Saturday morning took another 3 hours, although I could have shaved some time off of that but I was actually enjoying the process of double checking torque values and cleaning up my engine compartment. I already have the GWR catted midpipe, so that connection was a snap. I put everything back together, reconnected my battery, and went for a drive. NO CODES! Nice throaty sound with my RSII muffler, and a significant boost in power and low/mid torque. Another happy camper here. I since have added a M-E tune and I feel I have realized all of the gains that Brian has achieved on his 2012 project Miata. I've put several hundred miles on my Miata since the install with zero problems. This is the car that Mazda should have built all along. Thanks Brian.
-- Ron P.
I should thank you. The parts ordered have greatly enhanced my MX-5 and they were received well before I could have reasonably expected them. I'm an enthusiastic new customer. Regards, John

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Sergio Romo and rapper E-40 exchanged autographs for donations to the Marine Corp Reserve Toys for Tots at Kinder's Meats and Deli in Pleasant Hill on Wednesday.
Also posing for photographs, Giants reliever Sergio Romo and rapper E-40 brought out thousands of fans who donated more than 2,700 toys. Some waited several hours outside Kinder's Meats and Deli on Morello Road for the evening event, which started at 6 p.m. and went until about 11:30 p.m.
Marine Corps Reserve Staff Sgt. Erick Bannar said the event brought in 2,745 toys, "a truly unbelievable amount of toys for one event."
The toys will be passed out to the children of Contra Costa until Dec. 21. He added that the program has received help from other celebrities but this is the first time someone who has won the World Series helped out.

There's no doubt about it, being a mama can be super stressful at times. The worst part is that even though you're stressed, it's not like you have the time to do anything about it. Sure a vacation or spa day might do the trick, but seriously, who has the time (or money) for even an hour-long massage, let alone a mini-vacation? Luckily, there are some smaller, less expensive, naturally relaxing techniques you can try. These ideas are super quick - about 15 minutes or less - meaning any busy mama can fit them into her day.
Give a Massage
Yes, a massage for yourself would be awesome, however, you sure can't get one in five minutes or less. What you can do is give your child or baby a quick massage a few times a day. I know, it sounds nuts, right? However, research shows that when you massage someone else it initiates a drop in the stress hormone cortisol, which helps calm you down quickly. Bonus, the benefits of even a quick baby or child massage are far reaching. Studies show that massage can result in a more relaxed child, increased bonding, regular sleep patterns and more. A happier, more relaxed and rested child is absolutely a less stressful child for you. If you've never experimented with massage, no worries, it's easy. Most massage experts recommend that child massages last 30 minutes, but research shows that smaller, quicker massage sessions can also be beneficial if you're short on time. See the links below for advice.

+ How to Give a Baby a Massage
Blow Bubbles
There's no big secret as to why blowing bubbles relaxes you. Most relaxation techniques focus on breathing exercises, because slower and deeper breathing is proven to have a calming effect. Bubbles are considered so relaxing that many hospitals even advocate bubble blowing for children before they undergo a medical procedure. Bubbles not only fit the relaxation bill but this is something you and your kids can do to chill out together. To make some non-toxic bubble mix, fill a reusable mason jar with about three-parts water to one-part eco-friendly dish soap. Mix gently and then dip a bubble wand into the mixture and blow away. To really benefit have a contest to see who can blow the biggest bubble – this requires that you exhale slowly and carefully, which is more relaxing than blowing fast. If you want to make your own bubble wands, use some thin twisting wire or even dip a recycled spool of thread into your bubble mix – remove all the thread and any paper first. If it's a sunny day blow bubbles outside, but if it's miserable, drape an old sheet over your couch and blow away in the living room. It's just soap!
Accept That Not Everyone Will Like You
One of the hardest parts of being a parent, in my opinion, is the criticism you get from your peers. Seriously, we're all in this together, yet, those that have judged me the harshest aren't strangers, but other parents. It starts when you're pregnant – home birth or hospital, and never ends. From formula feeding vs. breastfeeding to co-sleeping to homeschooling to pink LEGO blocks to silly little things like baby slings or not putting a hat on your baby, other parents will judge your every decision and it can be stressful. Learn now that not everyone will agree with you, or even like your parenting decisions. Come to terms with this and stand up for what you believe in without letting others get to you. When another parent starts in with, "OMG I'd never do…" allow yourself the luxury of tuning out.
Take five minutes and remind yourself about the last time someone gave you a parenting compliment. Think about why you make the decisions you do and consider something great you've accomplished with your kids. Maybe you serve healthy meals or buy organic toys. Maybe you've managed to clear out plastics or your child made you a "Best mama in the world" card. You have a lot to be proud of, so although it's hard to ignore mean comments, try to focus on the positive. With practice this gets easier. It sounds over simplistic, but stewing over some other parent's opinion of you accomplishes nothing and wastes time. Is it really worth it?
Try Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is a proven stress reliever, and it only takes minutes to benefit. Mood lifting essential oils, such as cedarwood, basil, cypress, geranium, and chamomile can help relieve environmental stress – i.e. stress caused by clutter, noise and bright lights. When mental stress, caused by money worries or work problems kick in, try oils such as lavender, grapefruit, cardamom, patchouli, sandalwood and geranium. Emotional stress, caused by relationship troubles, parent guilt, grief and more, may be the hardest stress to overcome, but it can be relieved with essential oils of rose, cardamom, palma rosa, geranium and bergamot. Make sure you buy real, organic essential oils. You can add drops to a small water spritzer and spray around the house, place drops on a tissue and breathe the scent in or place a few drops in the palm of your hand with a tablespoon of carrier oil and rub the oils into your neck. If you've never used essential oils before, read this essential oil safety guide and see the link below.

Park & Walk
When your body absorbs sunlight, mood-stabilizing chemicals like serotonin work better. In fact, recent research shows that some sunlight, or even just daylight, can boost your mood better than antidepressants. The problem? Busy lives and stress keep many of us inside more than we should be, which in turn stresses us out, which in turn (again) makes it harder to get motivated to get outside. It's a vicious cycle. You should make it a long-term goal to work in more outside time, in the form of hiking, walks, bike rides and so fourth. However, right now, you can start to make a small difference simply by parking and walking. If there's one thing mamas have in bundles, it's errands. Most of us park close to the store, because frankly, it's easier to shuffle kids in. Still, if you're brave enough to park at the end of a parking lot and walk to the store, doctor's office, wherever, all those moments in the sunshine, or even rain, so long as there's daylight, start to add up to less stress.
Jump Rope
If you jump rope just 15 minutes a day, it's enough to burn off that de-stressing candy bar you ate. And yes, you can jump rope in 5 minute stints, you don't have to jump all 15 at once. Jumping rope is one of the least expensive and most effective exercises for a busy mama, especially since kids beyond the baby stage can jump rope too. Exercise of any sort can reduce on-going anxiety and depression and help you sleep better. Beyond long-term fitness benefits, jumping rope also has immediate stress relieving benefits. When you start jumping, your body kicks out endorphins, which triggers positive feelings in your body. Plus, the repetitive motions you experience while jumping rope help you feel more relaxed and focused. Best of all, you don't need a sunny day to jump rope, just a living room with a couch pushed back.

To be eligible to be president of the US, one must meet the 'natural born citizen' constitutional requirement of Article II, Section 1. It is accepted that if one is born in the US, then this status is automatically conferred on you. This is why the birthers are so desperate to show that Obama's birth occurred elsewhere.
But isn't the fact that his mother was a citizen (and no one as yet has challenged that, as far as I know) mean that he is a natural born citizen, irrespective of where in the world he was born or the citizenship status of his father? Yes, that is usually true, even though some birthers like Orly Taitz seems to be under the mistaken impression that both parents need to be citizens and since his father was not, that disqualifies Obama.
But if, for the sake of the argument, one concedes that Obama was born overseas to just one American parent, there is an interesting legal wrinkle about how natural born citizenship is determined is such cases. It is then not conferred automatically but requires that certain additional criteria (set by Congress) be met and those criteria have changed over the years. At the time of Obama's birth, if he was born outside the US, a technical and narrow reading of the eligibility criteria could be used to assert that he did not meet the criteria to be a natural born citizen, though I doubt that a court would rule that way. For those interested in such legal fine points, and if you want to impress your friends at parties with legal esoterica, I went through all this in some detail back in July 2009 (see part 1 and especially part 2).
As I said in part 2, in addition to all its problems of fact, the birther case suffers from serious plausibility problems.
Like all such elaborate theories, the birthers' case first requires you to accept a highly implausible premise. In reality, all this is moot since no reasonable person could doubt that Obama was born in Hawaii. To think otherwise is to create a preposterous scenario in which Obama's mother secretly went to Kenya (without leaving any discernible trail) to deliver her baby there (why?) and yet was savvy and influential enough to create an elaborate scheme with the collusion of Hawaii government officials to have his birth recorded in Hawaii and provide him with faked birth certificates even now. They also must have colluded with two Hawaiian newspapers to run contemporary birth notices of Obama's birth. All this in order to make him eligible to run for president decades in the future.
Remember that even if Obama had been born in Kenya and did not meet the criteria for being a 'natural born' citizen, it would have been easy for him to become a naturalized citizen because his mother was a citizen. The only reason for this elaborate charade on his mother's part is to make him eligible to run for president, the one and only job in the US that requires 'natural born' citizenship. If she was ambitious, smart, far-sighted, and knowledgeable enough to go to all this trouble to make her son appear eligible for the presidency, surely she would have simply had the baby in the US and been done with it?
The birthers' would benefit from studying the logic of David Hume who explained how to judge the credibility of extraordinary claims: "No testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless the testimony be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be more miraculous than the fact which it endeavours to establish."
We should at least be thankful that no one is urging that the body of Obama's mother be exhumed and DNA tests done to establish that he is actually her son and not some changeling. We should also be thankful that Obama's citizenship did not come via an American father and foreign mother. One shudders at the ghastly additional theories and demands for proof that would have been proposed in such a case.
And as an added bonus, here is a two-part segment on the birthers on The Colbert Report from July 2009 where in the second part Colbert interviews Taitz. I did not realize until I watched it again that in addition to being a lawyer, real estate agent, and dentist, she also has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Truly she's a renaissance woman.

A new app for the iPhone means you can plan your own funeral right down to the very last detail before you head to the Apple store in the sky.
The iFuneral app enables you to select your religion, what songs you want played, how you want to be dressed, the style of coffin and the cortege arrangements. You can even put in any special requests for the big day - you know say if you wanted to be buried with your first ever Panini football sticker album. No? Just us then.
The iFuneral app enables you to enter details of your next-of-kin or specific friends who you want to be notified of your wishes when the end comes.
It's all quite morbid, but one thing's for sure, iFuneral certainly supports the notion that there really is an app for pretty much everything, right to the end.

Evansville Golf - High Temps and Low Scoresby Tom Runge • August 10, 2012 Share:
The Evansville Association of Wabash Men hosted their annual golf outing in Newburgh, Indiana at Rolling Hills Country Club. The temperatures were in the mid-90s but it didn't hurt the scoring – all foursomes were below par save one.
The winning team – Todd Glass '84, Rick Moll '77, John Reitz '88 and Lu Hamilton '76 – had birdies on 50% of the holes they played. Longest drive went to Conor O'Daniel '93 and Roger Butler made the longest putt, father of Nathan Butler '02.
Sons of Wabash member Andy Walsh '14 and sophomore Aeknoor Cheema '15 played in the outing. Golf coach Mac Petty will want to talk with both of them!!!
Lu Hamilton '76, major gift officer at the College, presented the awards and provided the group with an update on the College after dinner.

The NHIAA released its hockey tournament brackets today and there are a pair of intriguing matchups involving local teams.
In the girls division, No. 6 St. Thomas/Dover (9-8-1) visits No. 3 Oyster River (13-4-1) on Friday at 4 p.m.
Oyster River won both regular-season matchups in routs, 6-2 at the Whittemore Center on Dec. 18 and a 5-0 win Jan. 19 at Dover Arena with the Bobcats' Hannah Herz-Khan recording a hat trick each time.
That's an aggregate score of 11-2, yet STA/Dover coach Kevin Banfield said this after the second game:
"I don't think they're any better than we are. They just played better tonight. We outworked them in the first period I thought, and they got the lucky bounces."
If Banfield is right, we'll see on Friday when the two teams meet for the third time.
On Saturday in Division I boys, No. 4 St. Thomas (12-5-1) hosts No. 5 Trinity (11-5-2) on Saturday at 4 p.m.
The two teams split a pair of 4-1 decisions, with each team winning on their own ice, most recently last Wednesday at Dover Arena.
Another potentially interesting matchup could come on Saturday in Division II boys, where No. 2 Spaulding (15-2-1) will host No. 7 Oyster River (currently 8-5-5) if the Bobcats survive the No. 10 seed (a combined-school team) in Wednesday's preliminary round (which they should). Oyster River is undefeated against the Red Raiders this season, skating to a 1-1 tie on Jan. 2 at the Whitt and earning a 1-0 win last Saturday night at Rochester Arena.

Spanish Casa Del Pico Floating Above A Granite Terrain
Two floors were sufficient to encompass the necessary living spaces for Casa Del Pico in Spain. Created by Madrid-based studio ÁBATON, the 3,143 square foot home rests on a sloped granite terrain, which became the inspiration for the two-floor residential project cladded with colored mortar render. Materials used to build the house include honed limestone floors, white plastered walls, white-lacquered MDF woodwork and doors on the inside and lacquered aluminum exterior joinery. Architects share a few words about the challenging site, adapted architecture and focused interior arrangement: "The sharp slope from street level to the back of the site made it vital to conceive of two floors.
The presence of granite throughout prompted the design conceit of dual structures floating above the stone itself. In order to emulate the geometry of the stone, the base of the swimming pool is uneven and mirrors the shapes etched out by the granite over which it is built. The ground floor was designed to interact closely with the outside so that the garden is perceived as an extension of the interior. The upper floor, where the living room and the children's area are located, was linked to the swimming pool. The rooftop terrace over the living room boasts views of the mountains and city and comes with a giant built-in bench which additionally acts as a barrier. Changes in usage within open-plan areas are punctuated by differing ceiling or floor heights."

My first blog, raided from old camp logs, was of early days of my career in the Paraguayan Chaco. Specifically, a first-hand encounter with a scarcely seen large mammal, the Chacoan Peccary (Catagonus wagneri). This blog is similar, in that it describes another first-hand encounter with a scarcely seen large mammal – the Jaguar (Panthera onca).
Jakob, my Paraguayan counterpart at the time, was a Mennonite who had lived in the Chaco for practically his whole life. I was fresh out of my undergraduate program in my early 20's, given this incredible opportunity to live and work in the Chaco by Dr. Kurt Benirschke (more about Dr. B in a future blog).
We were doing some survey work in the northern Chaco, and continued straight north into southeastern Dept. Santa Cruz, Bolivia– somewhat of a risky move at the time, as parts of Bolivia weren't nearly as safe back then. We were able to observe numerous species of little-known birds and collected transect data throughout the northern Chaco on various game species: Chaco chachalacas (Ortalis canicollis), primates such as night monkey (Aotus trivirgatus) and dusky titi (Callicebus moloch), and a variety of larger mammals: brown brocket deer (Mazama gouazoubira), collared (Tayassu tajacu) and white-lipped peccaries (T. pecari), and lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris). We even collected data on other species of lesser-known mammals, including Felids (wild cats).
I successfully traversed three major life 'stepping stones' on that trip:
1) I got in and out of Bolivia safely (my first trip of what would be several),
2) I experienced the most tranquil moment of clarity I had experienced in my life thus far (in the middle of a vast private estancia [ranch] reserve), and
3) I encountered my first jaguar of what would be several (a live one, not its tracks).
The first experience was a personal adventure mission. As I mentioned, parts of Bolivia weren't nearly as safe back then. Our vehicle was thoroughly frisked at all the military checkpoints, but we made them happy to let us pass with the standard bribe of a beer, bag of chipas or pack of smokes.

The second experience happened in the immediate vicinity of 'Linea 6' (Line 6) – much of the territory we were navigating was too primitive to refer to by place names or townships, as nothing on that level of order had been established yet, just pure pristine wilderness. We were camping on a vast private estancia that comprised a portion of the southwestern periphery of Brazil's vast Pantanal wetland. We spent all day walking through tropical dry forest studying monkeys, and driving through mostly desiccated wetland plain counting several species storks and ibises. We ended the day perfectly with Jakob teaching me how to catch scissor-tailed nightjars (Hydropsalis torquata) at our campsite with bare hands! By the campfire that evening as our 'critter stew' simmered, it dawned on me how lucky I was to see pristine wilderness that was far from the threat of development. It never even occurred to me that such a beautiful and tranquil place existed, but I thanked my lucky stars that I was able to experience it firsthand.
The story of the third experience technically comprises the contents of this blog.
On being prey..
4 July 1990
Cerro León, Defensores del Chaco Natl. Park, Paraguay
Well, Happy 214th B-day to the USA! Wish I were home to celebrate, but in a way I'm having a celebration of my own tonight. What an incredible trip this has been. We made it into Bolivia and back in one piece, and I've seen all sorts of wildlife I haven't seen yet in the Chaco since we've now reached the northern, more tropical sector. As I write dusky titi monkeys are vocalizing their duet calls between territories. I'm hearing more pairs (= higher densities?) here in the hills, than in the lowlands both here and in Bolivia. What an incredible expedition this has been!
Last night we had just cleared the Military station at Fortín La Gerenza, where they were eager to make us unpack everything in the truck until we handed them some chipas and brewsky. Although I'm inclined to think poorly of the soldiers for this behavior, I know that their bribes are driven by desperation. When we were further north, just a short distance from the Bolivian frontier, there was a shack perhaps a few feet square, mostly open, not sheltered with mosquito screen, shade or anything. Inside were a couple of empty boxes that once contained shotgun shell cartridges, a dirty blanket and some moth-eaten clothing punctuated with holes. The dying coals of a recent fire were close to the shack. As we went down the road, we came upon a young soldier, perhaps 16, barefoot and wearing crusty clothes, he was carrying a shotgun over his shoulder. He told us he ran very low on cartridges a week ago to hunt dinner, and was waiting for the compound to drop off more supplies. Feeling sorry for the kid, we had lunch with him, and left him with some food and supplies. We didn't have the size ammo he needed for his shotgun, but we promised to relay the message to his headquarters that he was in dire need of supplies or being relieved by someone.
So when we got to La Gerenza we did relay the message, only to have it fall on the deaf ears of the guards frisking the truck. So we asked to speak with an officer in charge, but got the typical 'mañana' runaround. Well, not knowing what else to do, we reluctantly pulled out of La Gerenza. By then it was nightfall. There were many brown brocket deer on the 'dirt road.' You could pick up their eye shine as they looked up into the truck headlights, then they would look away (eye shine disappeared), then eye shine again for a moment until the little deer vanished as it entered the dark abyss of dry forest. There were several deer encounters over the course of an hour or two. Then there was one who didn't look away out of the truck's headlights, just kept staring straight ahead and its eyes seemed to be further apart. It was hard to see details from far away due to the road dust on this hot, dry night. But as we got closer I could barely make out the shoulder blade haunches on the back alternating up then down, up then down, advancing closer with a slow and stealthy strut. As Jakob sped up the animal turned and sauntered into the forest. We slowed down because we figured we had lost it. Just as we got 20-30 feet away from the area where we saw it, the animal's front half poked out of the forest onto the road. I could see it was no deer at all, but a jaguar!!
It was hard to make out the details, as there was much road dust everywhere blending in with the only beam of light, that of the headlights, surrounded by the pitch black of the forest that engulfed the dirt road on either side. As soon as we realized what it was we jumped out of the truck. I could hear the jaguar walking on dry leaves in the darkened abyss of the forest perhaps 10-15 feet from where I stood at the edge of the road. As Jakob's door slammed shut I heard the jaguar make a quick 'whoosh' sound like it was crouching. Then it dawned on me that large cats often crouch before attacking their prey. That's when I slowly slipped back into the passenger side of the truck. Something overcame my body, such that I involuntarily froze absolutely motionless. Even though I could not see the jaguar I could feel it watching me as I sat there in its cold, gripping field of view. Something conjured up from our ancestors in millennia past, where I felt what it was like to be prey. I think every hair on the back of my neck was erect. I then realized the window was still open, and as I tried to weigh the advantage of rolling it up and risking stimulating an attack through my movement, versus remaining absolutely motionless but providing an opening for the jaguar to attack directly. Before I came to a decision, Jakob started the truck and we were off.
Postlog (3 March 2009): Well, what I experienced on that trip was both an intense and incredible experience. I have the gift of remembering the detail as if it occurred just yesterday. Back then (two decades ago) large cats roamed freely in the vast and pristine northern Chaco. The Ruta Trans-Chaco (a paved road from the capitol of Asuncion clear into Bolivia) was not even halfway developed through the Paraguayan Chaco, and consequently of little threat to the pristine wilderness in the north. Today it provides regular international traffic, and with easier access comes the unstoppable decay of the unspoiled land. Back then, there were hunters who were paid well by cooperatives of estancia owners to do nothing but hunt large cats. As these ranches were rare in the northern Chaco, so were the hunters who rapidly depleted populations of these top carnivores.
Although I had a meeting in Asuncion about 10 years ago, unfortunately I was unable to retrace my prior footsteps since I had to be in northern Mexico for another meeting only 2 nights after my arrival. The trip from the airport to Asuncion that used to be a dark undeveloped road is now full of Blockbuster video stores, Pizza Hut, and other similar signs of intense urban development. Not a good omen for things up north. I really need to get back to the Chaco for a visit to see how the big kitties are faring…

Damian Lewis 'kept Eton background secret'
Homeland's Damian Lewis has revealed he used to keep his Eton school background a secret to avoid typecasting.
Speaking to Radio 4's Front Row, the British actor said he was aware of the risk when he first began acting and never revealed the detail.
"It was really to avoid any typecasting in a floppy-fringed, public schoolboy kind of way," he said.
By not looking the stereotypical part, Lewis went on, he had a greater variety of roles open to him.
"My experience of boarding school was that I wasn't the handsome Rupert Everett type," the 41-year-old said. "I was the slightly too red and pale, funny one."
Once he had played a range of roles and felt confident to talk about attending Eton, the actor found "it was the first line of every print interview" he did.
"I thought, 'There you go, I'm vindicated,' and there was every reason not to talk about it," he said.
His comments come after Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch complained he was fed up with being attacked over his private school education.
In contrast, Lewis said, he had generally not experienced much "posh-bashing".
"It's probably partly to do with the success I've had in America that people don't identify me too strongly with it in its context," he said.
"When they want to they will, and when they don't need to they don't, so I don't mind too much."
Lewis will soon be seen in a film version of The Sweeney, alongside Ray Winstone and Ben "Plan B" Drew.
The full interview can be heard of Radio 4's Front Row on Tuesday at 19:15 BST.

As they begin Season 3 of "Key & Peele" (9:30 p.m. CT Wednesday, Sept. 18, Comedy Central; 3 stars out of 4), comics Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele need to focus on new material.
It's not that fan favorite characters such as President Obama's Anger Translator and Mr. Garvey the substitute teacher don't still bring the laughs, but the new sketches involving these characters don't necessarily expand the joke like a new sketch involving football players Hingle McCringleberry and Ozamataz Buckshank, who rap with their unusually named teammates a la the 1985 Bears' "Superbowl Shuffle."
Mr. Garvey still hilariously mispronounces easy names and flips out if a student speaks up. And Luther still goes overboard in interpreting the president's words.
"Man, y'all some deluded, self-important [bleeps] if you think we're interested in your deviant, porn-watching asses," Luther says, translating Obama's message about the government spying on citizens' digital activity.
OK, they're still funny—but I was most interested in seeing new characters and sketches like their send-up of "Les Miserables," in which Javert (Key) laments in song how he wishes people would speak to him "one at a time." It's a total riot and epitomizes how the duo satirizes not only social and political issues but art and pop culture as well.
Another aspect of the show I love is when the duo introduces sketches, or riffs on them, in front of the studio audience. This stand-up part of the show feels loose, personal and quite confident. On the other hand, the short bits called Metta World News feel forced and simply don't work.
If you're looking for an extremely edgy show that ruthlessly hits on race issues, "Key & Peele" isn't it. The duo generally plays things more subtlely, like the premiere's opening sketch, in which Peele, minding his own business while walking down a street, scares a couple of white families and then is followed by a white cop until Peele pulls up his hood. On the side is the profile of a white man, which tricks the cop into leaving Peele alone.
All joking aside, Key and Peele do still have something to say.

Marching on Washington is an American tradition
The 1963 march set the standard, but the impact and value today seem to have waned.
WASHINGTON — Janice Spurgin, a rancher from Nebraska, joined hundreds of thousands of abortion opponents this January in the March for Life to the Supreme Court. She found it "an amazing pilgrimage experience," remarkable for a passion exemplified by a Franciscan who walked barefoot.
When she flew home, she found nothing about the march in her local newspaper. She was not surprised. "In Washington, I think people look out the window and think, 'Not another march!'"-
March fatigue: so many of them, for so many causes, to so little apparent effect. Is marching on Washington, one of the signal rituals of American popular democracy, out of step?
Everyone knows about the civil rights march 50 years ago this month where Martin Luther King gave his "I Have a Dream" speech. But who remembers Washington marches for colon cancer screening (2006) or public broadcasting (2012), or against Scientology (2008), genetically engineered food (2011) or African warlord Joseph Kony (2012)?
MORE: Elements of a successful march on the Mall
The Million Man March of 1995 begat the Million Mom, Million Family, Million Worker, Millions More and Million Puppet marches, none of which came close to drawing a million marchers. David Garrow, a King biographer, says the 1963 Washington march "has been debased by repetition."
It has descended to parody. Jon Stewart's 2010 "Rally to Restore Sanity" satirized Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally earlier that year, and Stephen Colbert's "March to Keep Fear Alive" was a dig at his colleague Stewart's plea for reason. (They later combined forces.)
As a political historian at George Washington University, Eric Arnesen is predisposed to follow demonstrations in the capital. But, he says, "There are marches I hear about only because of traffic reports. There's so many of them, they don't carry the weight the one in 1963 did."
The Recreational Fishing Alliance's march on Washington last year attracted less than half of the 4,000 to 5,000 who turned out for a similar event two years earlier, when a parade of members of Congress promised to ease federal limits on fishing.
But nothing happened. And last year, the turnout was half as large as 2010.
Jim Hutchinson, director of the alliance, chalks it up to discouragement: "In 2010 some of our people took the day off, spent 24 hours on a bus and stood in the cold. They were told, 'We're going to fix this.' It wasn't fixed."
Marching on Washington hasn't brought gun control or changed immigration policy or moved the abortion debate out of the trench it's been stuck in for decades. It did not end the war in Iraq; President George W. Bush said being influenced by street protests would be like making policy "based upon a focus group."
Some activists have gone elsewhere. Occupy Wall Streeters set up encampments around the nation. The Tea Party made its name at town-hall-style meetings in congressional districts. The anti-nuclear and anti-abortion movements have marched most prominently on power plants and Planned Parenthood clinics, respectively.
So why march on Washington? Lucy Barber, a historian who's studied the subject, says that while marches never change federal policy immediately and rarely grab national attention, they energize and unify the marchers themselves. They're more about rallying the faithful than converting the skeptical.
Asked what marchers get out of marching, Jerome Grossman, the Massachusetts businessman who founded the Moratorium to End the Vietnam War movement in 1969, says, "Courage." Crushed together for hours, often in bad weather, they realize they're not alone, and are emboldened to press their cause.
A case in point was a 1967 anti-war march on the Pentagon. Some demonstrators, including poet Allen Ginsberg and Yippies movement co-founder Abbie Hoffman, tried unsuccessfully to use meditation and chanting to "levitate" the military headquarters.
Whatever its immediate effect, "the symbolic importance of 'taking over' part of Washington still gets to people," Barber says. Which might explain why the march is sort of like the restaurant in the Yogi Berra joke — so crowded nobody goes there any more.
In an era when many indices of democratic activity, have waned, marching on Washington has waxed.
Demonstrations have increased in each of the past three years, according to the U.S. Park Police. The National Park Service gets so many applications for political events on the Mall that it logs them on a giant wall calendar; it issues about 1,600 such permits a year, an average of about four a day.
But historian William Jones says marches today suffer in comparison with the memory of the one against which all others are judged — the 1963 "March for Jobs and Freedom."
That march was attended by 250,000, graced by King's speech at the Lincoln Memorial, and followed by passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964. But the march's leaders — many of whom owed their reputations to the march — never wanted to have one like it again.
The civil rights bill stuck in Congress before the march was still stuck after it; it was passed only after President Kennedy's assassination in November and his successor's insistence that the act would be a fitting memorial.
Participants recall the March on Washington and Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic speech. (Archival footage from the National Archives, USIA, interview by Deborah Barfield Berry/USATODAY)
Instead of enhancing unity in the civil rights movement, the march exposed and widened divisions. For example, John Lewis, leader of the more radical Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (and now a senior Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives) had to change his speech to appease moderates.
Even the march's primary organizer, Bayard Rustin, was disillusioned. He subsequently advocated abandoning such mass actions in favor of partisan electoral politics.
"They all appreciated how the march offered a positive vision of the movement to those on the outside," says Barber, author of Marching on Washington. "But they came to see the effort, without any direct results, as too much." That hasn't stopped others from following in their footsteps. "People want something they think happened in 1963," Barber says, "even though it didn't."
Americans once assumed the District of Columbia was no place for demonstrations that might cloud leaders' judgment. That ended in the depression year of 1894.
A 40-year-old Ohio businessman named Jacob Coxey led hundreds of unemployed men — "Coxey's Army," they were called — to Washington. They camped outside the city and demanded government public works projects that would create jobs.
Coxey called his march "a petition in boots." But it fizzled after he was arrested on trumped up charges, including walking on the Capitol lawn.
Still, he set an example for suffragettes in 1913, the Ku Klux Klan in 1925 and "Bonus Army" marchers in 1932. The latter were World War I vets seeking advance payment of bonuses promised by the government. On President Hoover's order, they were dispersed by troops under Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
What is arguably the most successful march on Washington never happened. In 1941, to forestall a protest by black workers (organized by Philip Randolph), President Franklin Roosevelt banned racial discrimination in defense industry hiring.
Since then, marching on Washington has been aided by technological advancements, from the mimeograph to Facebook. King's speech in 1963, for example, was the first of its kind to be televised live by all three national networks, as well as around the world via a new Telstar satellite.
More recently, arena-quality sound systems and video screens have carried the stage program to those even a half-mile away. And social media make it easier to recruit participants.
In 1944, a 90-year-old man stood on the Capitol steps and completed a speech he'd begun 50 years earlier. This was Jacob Coxey, who spoke that day on behalf of "the millions of toilers whose petitions have been buried in committee rooms."
They are buried there still, and so in a few days Americans again will march on Washington — in part to commemorate the great day 50 years ago, in part to present themselves, like Coxey and his marchers, as "petitions in boots."

Our statement on the outcome of the Mindanao Power Summit held at the Waterfront Insular Hotel, Davao City, today
We are disappointed that the government wasn't categorically clear about removing coal as an option, even though Mindanaoans today presented at the Summit proposals that were clearly asking for more renewable energy and no coal. We see this as a continuation of failure of leadership. If the government will not listen to the people of Mindanao, DOE Sec Almendras should proceed with his offer to resign --Von Hernandez, Executive Director, Greenpeace Southeast Asia.
Communities are opposing coal power plant in Mindanao during the Energy Summit in Waterfront Hotel in Davao. Greenpeace is pushing for renewable energy as a solutions for the region, instead of anchoring the island's energy future on dirty coal power.

Table of Contents
This chapter contains information about
MySQL Cluster, which is a
high-availability, high-redundancy version of MySQL adapted for the
distributed computing environment. Current releases of MySQL Cluster
use versions 6 and 7 of the
NDB storage
engine (also known as
NDBCLUSTER) to
enable running several computers with MySQL servers and other
software in a cluster.
Beginning with MySQL 5.1.24, support for the
NDBCLUSTER storage engine was removed
from the standard MySQL server binaries built by MySQL. Instead,
users of MySQL Cluster binaries built by MySQL should upgrade to the
most recent binary release of MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0 or MySQL Cluster
7.1 for supported platforms—these include RPMs that should
work with most Linux distributions. MySQL Cluster users who build
from source should be aware that, also beginning with MySQL 5.1.24,
NDBCLUSTER sources in the standard
MySQL 5.1 tree are no longer maintained; these users should use the
sources provided for MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0 or later. (Locations
where the sources can be obtained are listed later in this section.)
MySQL Cluster NDB 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 were formerly known as "MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition". Beginning with MySQL Cluster NDB 6.2.15 and MySQL Cluster NDB 6.3.14, this term is no longer applied to the MySQL Cluster software—which is now known simply as "MySQL Cluster"—but rather to a commercial licensing and support package. You can learn more about available options for commercial licensing of MySQL Cluster from http://mysql.com/products/database/cluster/features.html, on the MySQL web site.
This chapter contains information about MySQL Cluster in MySQL 5.1 mainline releases through MySQL 5.1.23, MySQL Cluster NDB 6.2 releases through 5.1.51-ndb-6.2.19, MySQL Cluster NDB 6.3 releases through 5.1.73-ndb-6.3.55, MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0 releases through 5.1.73-ndb-7.0.42 and MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1 releases through 5.1.77-ndb-7.1.37. Currently, the MySQL Cluster NDB 7.3 and MySQL Cluster NDB 7.4 release series are both Generally Available (GA). MySQL Cluster NDB 7.2 is a previous GA release series; although this series is still supported, we recommend that new deployments use MySQL Cluster NDB 7.4. For information about MySQL Cluster NDB 7.4, see MySQL Cluster NDB 7.3 and MySQL Cluster NDB 7.4, in the MySQL 5.6 Manual. MySQL Cluster NDB 7.5 is also available as a Developer Preview; see MySQL Cluster NDB 7.5.
This chapter also contains historical information about MySQL Cluster NDB 6.1 and MySQL Cluster NDB 6,2, although these release series are no longer in active development, and no longer supported for new deployments. You should upgrade to a MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1 or later release series as soon as possible.
Release notes for the changes in each release of MySQL Cluster are located at MySQL Cluster 7.1 Release Notes.
Supported Platforms. MySQL Cluster is currently available and supported on a number of platforms. For exact levels of support available for on specific combinations of operating system versions, operating system distributions, and hardware platforms, please refer to http://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/cluster.html.
Availability. MySQL Cluster binary and source packages are available for supported platforms from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/cluster/.
Binary releases and RPMs were not available for MySQL Cluster NDB 6.2 prior to MySQL Cluster NDB 6.2.15.
MySQL Cluster release numbers.
Starting with MySQL Cluster NDB 6.1 and MySQL Cluster NDB 6.2,
MySQL Cluster follows a somewhat different release pattern from
the mainline MySQL 5.1 Cluster series of releases. In this
Manual and other MySQL documentation, we
identify these and later MySQL Cluster releases employing a
version number that begins with "NDB". This version
number is that of the
storage engine used in the release, and not of the MySQL server
version on which the MySQL Cluster release is based.
Version strings used in MySQL Cluster NDB 6.x and 7.x software. The version string displayed by MySQL Cluster NDB 6.x and 7.x software uses this format:
mysql_server_version represents the
version of the MySQL Server on which the MySQL Cluster release is
based. For all MySQL Cluster NDB 6.x and 7.x releases, this is
ndb_engine_version is
the version of the
NDB storage engine
used by this release of the MySQL Cluster software. You can see this
format used in the mysql client, as shown here:
mysqlWelcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 2 Server version: 5.1.77-ndb-7.1.37 Source distribution Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql>
SELECT VERSION()\G*************************** 1. row *************************** VERSION(): 5.1.77-ndb-7.1.37 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
This version string is also displayed in the output of the
SHOW command in the ndb_mgm
Connected to Management Server at: localhost:1186
Cluster Configuration
[ndbd(NDB)] 2 node(s)
id=1 @10.0.10.6 (5.1.77-ndb-7.1.37, Nodegroup: 0, *)
id=2 @10.0.10.8 (5.1.77-ndb-7.1.37, Nodegroup: 0)
[ndb_mgmd(MGM)] 1 node(s)
id=3 @10.0.10.2 (5.1.77-ndb-7.1.37)
[mysqld(API)] 2 node(s)
id=4 @10.0.10.10 (5.1.77-ndb-7.1.37)
id=5 (not connected, accepting connect from any host)
The version string identifies the mainline MySQL version from which
the MySQL Cluster release was branched and the version of the
NDBCLUSTER storage engine used. For
example, the full version string for MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0.5 (the
first GA MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0 binary release) was
mysql-5.1.32-ndb-7.0.5. From this we can
determine the following:
Since the portion of the version string preceding
-ndb-" is the base MySQL Server
version, this means that MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0.5 derives from
the MySQL 5.1.32, and contains all feature enhancements and
bugfixes from MySQL 5.1 up to and including MySQL 5.1.32.
Since the portion of the version string following
-ndb-" represents the version
number of the
NDB (or
NDBCLUSTER) storage engine, MySQL
Cluster NDB 7.0.5 uses version 7.0.5 of the
NDBCLUSTER storage engine.
New MySQL Cluster releases are numbered according to updates in the
NDB storage engine, and do not necessarily
correspond in a linear fashion with mainline MySQL Server releases.
For example, MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0.5 (as previously noted) is based
on MySQL 5.1.32, and MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0.6 is based on MySQL
5.1.34 (version string:
Compatibility with standard MySQL 5.1 releases.
While many standard MySQL schemas and applications can work using
MySQL Cluster, it is also true that unmodified applications and
database schemas may be slightly incompatible or have suboptimal
performance when run using MySQL Cluster (see
Section 17.1.6, "Known Limitations of MySQL Cluster"). Most of these issues
can be overcome, but this also means that you are very unlikely to
be able to switch an existing application datastore—that
currently uses, for example,
InnoDB—to use the
NDB storage engine without allowing
for the possibility of changes in schemas, queries, and
applications. Moreover, from MySQL 5.1.24 onwards, the MySQL
Server and MySQL Cluster codebases diverge considerably (and
NDB storage engine support dropped
from subsequent MySQL Server releases), so that the standard
mysqld cannot function as a dropin replacement
for the version of mysqld that is supplied with
MySQL Cluster.
MySQL Cluster development source trees. MySQL Cluster development trees can also be accessed from https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server.
The MySQL Cluster development sources maintained at https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server are licensed under the GPL. For information about obtaining MySQL sources using Bazaar and building them yourself, see Section 2.11.3, "Installing MySQL Using a Development Source Tree".
Currently, MySQL Cluster NDB 7.3 and MySQL Cluster NDB 7.4 releases are Generally Available (GA). We recommend that new deployments use MySQL Cluster NDB 7.4. MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1 and earlier versions are no longer in active development. For an overview of major features added in MySQL Cluster NDB 7.4, see What is New in MySQL Cluster NDB 7.4. For similar information about MySQL Cluster NDB 7.3, see What is New in MySQL Cluster NDB 7.3. MySQL Cluster NDB 7.2 is a past GA series that is still supported; see What is New in MySQL Cluster. MySQL Cluster NDB 7.5 is also available as a Developer Preview for testing of new features; for more information, see MySQL Cluster NDB 7.5.
This chapter represents a work in progress, and its contents are subject to revision as MySQL Cluster continues to evolve. Additional information regarding MySQL Cluster can be found on the MySQL Web site at http://www.mysql.com/products/cluster/.

What the?February 19, 2003
What the Font? — it guesses which typeface was used in an image if you cannot. A great utility from a pretty handy, albeit kind of ugly font site.
Hacking my own work from a few years back, I tried calling in for some extra help. What I got in return was a pretty clear example of why there's no substitute for the human eye. I didn't give it a great source image, to be fair.

There was certainly a lot to think about in September. From tax prep to QuickBooks tips, it looked like you were using this month to brush up on some critical business issues and important financial news. Here were our top five posts for the month of September.
- Fall Into Tax Prep … According to the calendar, summer 2016 has officially come to an end. But, fortunately for you, there are a lot of reasons to smile in autumn! All it takes is a little tax prep on your part.
- Help The FBI Find A Defense Against Ransomware – The FBI recently released a public service announcement urging victims of Ransomware attacks to come forward and report these cyber infections to federal law enforcement. Keep reading to learn more about what the FBI is doing to reduce ransomware attacks.
- What Happens if My 401(k) Plan is Out of Compliance with an IRS or DOL Rule? – Learn more about the statute of limitations and how you can work to rectify any issues you may have with your business's retirement plan.
- How Can You Track Use Tax in QuickBooks? – If you owe use tax for a few separate counties or states, you can set up and use multiple Use Tax Payable accounts in your chart of accounts in QuickBooks. Learn how.
- Late Rollovers May Benefit From New IRS Guidance – Did you miss the deadline to rollover your retirement plan or traditional IRA funds due to circumstances beyond your control? In the past, such an issue would have resulted in issues on your tax return and/or an expensive private letter ruling request, culminating in a full-fledged assault on your retirement nest egg. Fortunately, the IRS released new guidance that may eliminate this costly headache by simplifying the way retirement rollovers are managed when they are made outside of the 60-day rollover deadline.
As we make our way into autumn and inch closer to the end of the year, what business and financial questions would you like our experts at Rea & Associates to answer? We'd love to hear from you.
