|View as plain text
Dear MySQL users, MySQL Server 5.6.2 (Milestone Release) is a new version of the world's most popular open source database. The new features in these releases are of beta quality. As with any other pre-production release, caution should be taken when installing on production level systems or systems with critical data. Note that 5.6.2 includes all features in MySQL 5.5. For an overview of what's new in MySQL 5.6, please see the section "What Is New in MySQL 5.6" below, or view it online at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/mysql-nutshell.html For information on installing MySQL 5.6.2 on new servers, please see the MySQL installation documentation at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/installing.html For upgrading from previous MySQL releases, please see the important upgrade considerations at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/upgrading-from-previous-series.html Please note that *downgrading* from these releases to a previous release series is not supported. MySQL Server 5.6 is available in source and binary form for a number of platforms from the "Development Releases" selection of our download pages at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ 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.: http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Contributing The list of all "Bugs Fixed" for 5.6.2 may also be viewed online at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/news-5-6-2.html If you are running a MySQL production level system, we would like to direct your attention to MySQL Enterprise Edition, which includes the most comprehensive set of MySQL production, backup, monitoring, modeling, development, and administration tools so businesses can achieve the highest levels of MySQL performance, security and uptime. http://mysql.com/products/enterprise/ D.1.2. Changes in MySQL 5.6.2 (11 April 2011) Explicit Partition Selection * Partitioning: It is now possible to select one or more partitions or subpartitions when querying from a partitioned table. In addition, many data modification statements (DELETE, INSERT, REPLACE, UPDATE, LOAD DATA, and LOAD XML) that act on partitioned tables also now support explicit partition selection. For example, assume we have a table named t with some integer column named c, and t has 4 partitions named p0, p1, p2, and p3. Then the query SELECT * FROM t PARTITION (p0, p1) WHERE c < 5 returns rows only in partitions p0 and p1 that match the WHERE condition, while partitions p2 and p3 are not checked. For additional information and examples, see Section 16.5, "Partition Selection," as well as the descriptions of the statements just listed. Row Image Control * Replication: Added the binlog_row_image server system variable, which can be used to enable row image control for row-based replication. This means that you can potentially save disk space, network resources, and memory usage by the MySQL Server by logging only those columns that are required for uniquely identifying rows, or which are actually changed on each row, as opposed to logging all columns for each and every row change event. In addition, you can use a "noblob" mode where all columns, except for unneeded BLOB or TEXT columns, are logged. For more information, see Section 126.96.36.199, "System variables used with the binary log." (Bug #47200, Bug #11755426, Bug #47303, Bug #56917, Bug #11755426, Bug #11755513, Bug #11764116) Crash-Safe Binary Log * Replication: Support for checksums when writing and reading the binary log is added to the MySQL Server. Writing checksums into the binary log is disabled by default; it can be enabled by starting the server with the --binlog-checksum option. To cause the server to read checksums from the binary log, start the server with the --master-verify-checksum option. The --slave-sql-verify-checksum option causes the slave to read checksums from the relay log. * Replication: The MySQL Server now records and reads back only complete events or transactions to and from the binary log. By default, the server now logs the length of the event as well as the event itself and uses this information to verify that the event was written correctly to the log. A master also uses by default this value to verify events when reading from the binary log. If you enable writing of checksums (using the binlog_checksum system variable), the master can use these instead by enabling the master_verify_checksum system variable. The slave I/O thread also verifies events received from the master. You can cause the slave SQL thread to use checksums (if available) as well, when reading from the relay log, by enabling the slave_sql_verify_checksum system variable on the slave. Slave Log Tables * Replication: It is now possible to write information about the slave connection to the master and about the slave's execution point within the relay log to tables rather than files. Logging of master connection information and of slave relay log information to tables can be done independently of one another; this is controlled by the --master-info-repository and --relay-log-info-repository server options. When --master-info-repository is set to TABLE, connection information is logged in the slave_master_info table in the mysql system database. When --relay-log-info-repository is set to TABLE, relay log information is logged to the slave_relay_log_info table, also in the mysql database. Globally Unique Server IDs * Replication: Implemented globally unique IDs for MySQL servers. A UUID is now obtained automatically when the MySQL server starts. The server first checks for a UUID written in the auto.cnf file (in the server's data directory), and uses this UUID if found. Otherwise, the server generates a new UUID and saves it to this file (and creates the file if it does not already exist). This UUID is available as the server_uuid system variable. MySQL replication masters and slaves know each other's UUIDs. The value of a slave's UUID can be read on the master as the system variable slave_uuid, as well as in the output of SHOW SLAVE HOSTS. After a slave is started (with START SLAVE), the value of the master's UUID is available on the slave as the master_uuid system variable, as well as in the output of SHOW SLAVE STATUS. For more information, see Section 15.1.3, "Replication and Binary Logging Options and Variables." (Bug #33815, Bug #11747723) See also Bug #16927, Bug #11745543. Optimizer Features * The optimizer now more efficiently handles queries (and subqueries) of the following form: SELECT ... FROM single_table ... ORDER BY non_index_column [DESC] LIMIT N; That type of query is common in web applications that display only a few rows from a larger result set. For example: SELECT col1, ... FROM t1 ... ORDER BY name LIMIT 10; SELECT col1, ... FROM t1 ... ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 15; If the sort elements for N rows are small enough to fit in the sort buffer, which has a size of sort_buffer_size, the server can avoid using a merge file and perform the sort entirely in memory. For details, see Section 18.104.22.168, "Optimizing LIMIT Queries." * The optimizer implements Disk-Sweep Multi-Range Read. Reading rows using a range scan on a secondary index can result in many random disk accesses to the base table when the table is large and not stored in the storage engine's cache. With the Disk-Sweep Multi-Range Read (MRR) optimization, MySQL tries to reduce the number of random disk access for range scans by first scanning the index only and collecting the keys for the relevant rows. Then the keys are sorted and finally the rows are retrieved from the base table using the order of the primary key. The motivation for Disk-sweep MRR is to reduce the number of random disk accesses and instead achieve a more sequential scan of the base table data. For more information, see Section 7.13.10, "Multi-Range Read Optimization." * The optimizer implements Index Condition Pushdown (ICP), an optimization for the case where MySQL retrieves rows from a table using an index. Without ICP, the storage engine traverses the index to locate rows in the base table and returns them to the MySQL server which evaluates the WHERE condition for the rows. With ICP enabled, and if parts of the WHERE condition can be evaluated by using only fields from the index, the MySQL server pushes this part of the WHERE condition down to the storage engine. The storage engine then evaluates the pushed index condition by using the index entry and only if this is satisfied is base row be read. ICP can reduce the number of accesses the storage engine has to do against the base table and the number of accesses the MySQL server has to do against the storage engine. For more information, see Section 7.13.4, "Index Condition Pushdown Optimization." Performance Schema Notes * The Performance Schema has these additions: + The Performance Schema now has tables that contain summaries for table and index I/O wait events, as generated by the wait/io/table/sql/handler instrument: o table_io_waits_summary_by_table aggregates table I/O wait events. The grouping is by table. o table_io_waits_summary_by_index_usage aggregates table index I/O wait events. The grouping is by table index. The information in these tables can be used to assess the impact of table I/O performed by applications. For example, it is possible to see which tables are used and which indexes are used (or not used), or to identify bottlenecks on a table when multiple applications access it. The results may be useful to change how applications issue queries against a database, to minimize application footprint on the server and to improve application performance and scalability. A change that accompanies the new tables is that the events_waits_current table now has an INDEX_NAME column to identify which index was used for that operation that generated the event. The same is true of the event-history tables, events_waits_history, and events_waits_history_long. + The Performance Schema now has an instrument named wait/lock/table/sql/handler in the setup_instruments table for instrumenting table lock wait events. It differs from wait/io/table/sql/handler, which instruments table I/O. This enables independent instrumentation of table I/O and table locks. Accompanying the new instrument, the Performance Schema has a table named table_lock_waits_summary_by_table that aggregates table lock wait events, as generated by the new instrument. The grouping is by table. The information in this table may be used to assess the impact of table locking performed by applications. The results may be useful to change how applications issue queries against the database and use table locks, to minimize the application footprint on the server and to improve application performance and scalability. For example, an application locking tables for a long time may negatively affect other applications, and the instrumentation makes this visible. + To selectively control which tables are instrumented for I/O and locking, use the setup_objects table. See Section 22.214.171.124, "Pre-Filtering by Object." + The setup_consumers table contents have changed. Previously, the table used a "flat" structure with a one-to-one correspondence between consumer name and destination table. This has been replaced with a hierarchy of consumer settings that enable progressively finer control of which destinations receive events. The previous xxx_summary_xxx consumers no longer exist. Instead, the Performance Schema maintains appropriate summaries automatically for the levels are which settings in the consumer hierarchy are enabled. For example, if only the top-level (global) consumer is enabled, only global summaries are maintained. Others, such as thread-level summaries, are not. See Section 126.96.36.199, "Pre-Filtering by Consumer." In addition, optimizations have been added to reduce Performance Schema overhead. + It is now possible to filter events by object using the new setup_objects table. Currently, this table can be used to selectively instrument tables, based on schema names and/or table names. See Section 126.96.36.199, "Pre-Filtering by Object." A new table, objects_summary_global_by_type, summarizes events for objects. + It is now possible to filter events by thread, and the Performance Schema collects more information for each thread. A new table, setup_actors, can be used to selectively instrument user connections, based on the user name and/or host name of each connecting session. The threads table, which contains a row for each active server thread, was extended with several new columns. With these additions, the information available in threads is like that available from the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST table or the output from SHOW PROCESSLIST. Thus, all three serve to provide information for thread-monitoring purposes. Use of threads differs from use of the other two thread information sources in these ways: o Access to threads does not require a mutex and has minimal impact on server performance. INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST and SHOW PROCESSLIST have negative performance consequences because they require a mutex. o threads provides additional information for each thread, such as whether it is a foreground or background thread, and the location within the server associated with the thread. o threads provides information about background threads. This means that threads can be used to monitor activity the other thread information sources cannot. o You can control which threads are monitored by setting the INSTRUMENTED column or by using the setup_actors table. For these reasons, DBAs who perform server monitoring using INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST or SHOW PROCESSLIST may wish to monitor using threads instead. If you upgrade to this release of MySQL from an earlier version, you must run mysql_upgrade (and restart the server) to incorporate these changes into the performance_schema database. For more information, see Chapter 19, "MySQL Performance Schema." Functionality added or changed: * Incompatible Change: The following obsolete constructs have been removed. Where alternatives are shown, applications should be updated to use them. + The FLUSH MASTER and FLUSH SLAVE statements. Use the RESET MASTER and RESET SLAVE statements instead. + The --log server option and the log system variable. Instead, use the --general_log option to enable the general query log and the --general_log_file=file_name option to set the general query log file name. + The --log-slow-queries server option and the log_slow_queries system variable. Instead, use the --slow_query_log option to enable the slow query log and the --slow_query_log_file=file_name option to set the slow query log file name. + The --one-thread server option. Use --thread_handling=no-threads instead. + The --skip-thread-priority server option. + The engine_condition_pushdown system variable. Use the engine_condition_pushdown flag of the optimizer_switch variable instead. + The have_csv, have_innodb, have_ndbcluster (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql-cluster-sys tem-variables.html#sysvar_have_ndbcluster), and have_partitioning system variables. Use SHOW ENGINES instead. + The sql_big_tables system variable. Use big_tables instead. + The sql_low_priority_updates system variable. Use low_priority_updates instead. + The sql_max_join_size system variable. Use max_join_size instead. + The SLAVE START and SLAVE STOP statements. Use the START SLAVE and STOP SLAVE statements instead. + The ONE_SHOT modifier for the SET statement. * Important Change: Replication: Replication filtering options such as --replicate-do-db, --replicate-rewrite-db, and --replicate-do-table were not consistent with one another in regard to case sensitivity. Now all --replicate-* options follow the same rules for case sensitivity applying to names of databases and tables elsewhere in the MySQL server, including the effects of the lower_case_table_names system variable. (Bug #51639, Bug #11759334) * Important Change: Replication: Added the MASTER_RETRY_COUNT option to the CHANGE MASTER TO statement, and a corresponding Master_Retry_Count column to the output of SHOW SLAVE STATUS. The option sets the value shown in this column. MASTER_RETRY_COUNT is intended eventually to replace the older --master-retry-count server option, and is now the preferred method for setting the maximum number of times that the slave may attempt to reconnect after losing its connection to the master. (Bug #44209, Bug #11752887, Bug #44486, Bug #11753110) * Important Change: Replication: Added the --binlog-rows-query-log-events option for mysqld. Using this option causes a server logging in row-based mode to write informational rows query log events (SQL statements, for debugging and other purposes) to the binary log. MySQL server and MySQL programs from MySQL 5.6.2 and later normally ignore such events, so that they do not pose an issue when reading the binary log. mysqld and mysqlbinlog from previous MySQL releases cannot read such events in the binary log, and fail if they attempt to do so. For this reason, you should never prepare logs for a MySQL 5.6.1 or earlier replication slave server (or other reader such as mysqlbinlog) with this option enabled on the master. (Bug #11758695, Bug #50935, Bug #11758695) * Replication: SHOW SLAVE STATUS now displays the actual number of retries for each connection attempt made by the I/O thread. (Bug #56416, Bug #11763675) * Replication: Added the Slave_last_heartbeat status variable, which shows when a replication slave last received a heartbeat signal. The value is displayed using TIMESTAMP format. (Bug #45441) * Replication: Timestamps have been added to the output of SHOW SLAVE STATUS to show when the most recent I/O and SQL thread errors occurred. The Last_IO_Error column is now prefixed with the timestamp for the most recent I/O error, and Last_SQL_Error shows the timestamp for the most recent SQL thread error. The timestamp values use the format YYMMDD HH:MM:SS in both of these columns. For more information, see Section 184.108.40.206, "SHOW SLAVE STATUS Syntax." (Bug #43535, Bug #11752361) * Replication: On MySQL replication slaves having multiple network interfaces, it is now possible to set which interface to use for connecting to the master using the MASTER_BIND='interface' option in a CHANGE MASTER TO statement. The value set by this option can be seen in the Master_Bind column of the output from SHOW SLAVE STATUS or the Bind column of the mysql.slave_master_info table. (Bug #25939, Bug #11746389) * Replication: Added the log_bin_basename system variable, which contains the complete filename and path to the binary log file. (The log_bin system variable shows only whether or not binary logging is enabled; log_bin_basename, however, reflects the name set with the --log-bin server option.) Also added relay_log_basename system variable, which shows the filename and complete path to the relay log file. See also Bug #19614, Bug #11745759. * Changes to replication in MySQL 5.6 make mysqlbinlog output generated by the --base64-output=ALWAYS option unusable. ALWAYS is now an invalid value for this option. If the option is given without a value, the effect is now the same as --base64-output=AUTO rather than --base64-output=ALWAYS. See also Bug #28760, Bug #11746794. * Replication: The SHOW SLAVE STATUS statement now has a Master_Info_File field indicating the location of the master.info file. (Bug #50316, Bug #11758151) * Replication: MySQL now supports delayed replication such that a slave server deliberately lags behind the master by at least a specified amount of time. The default delay is 0 seconds. Use the new MASTER_DELAY option for CHANGE MASTER TO to set the delay to N seconds: CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_DELAY = N; An event received from the master is not executed until at least N seconds later than its execution on the master. START SLAVE and STOP SLAVE take effect immediately and ignore any delay. RESET SLAVE resets the delay to 0. SHOW SLAVE STATUS has three new fields that provide information about the delay: + SQL_Delay: The number of seconds that the slave must lag the master. + SQL_Remaining_Delay: When Slave_SQL_Running_State is Waiting until MASTER_DELAY seconds after master executed event, this field contains the number of seconds left of the delay. At other times, this field is NULL. + Slave_SQL_Running_State: The state of the SQL thread (analogous to Slave_IO_State). The value is identical to the State value of the SQL thread as displayed by SHOW PROCESSLIST. When the slave SQL thread is waiting for the delay to elapse before executing an event, SHOW PROCESSLIST displays its State value as Waiting until MASTER_DELAY seconds after master executed event. The relay-log.info file now contains the delay value, so the file format has changed. See Section 184.108.40.206, "Slave Status Logs." In particular, the first line of the file now indicates how many lines are in the file. If you downgrade a slave server to a version older than MySQL 5.6, the older server will not read the file correctly. To address this, modify the file in a text editor to delete the initial line containing the number of lines. The introduction of delayed replication entails these restrictions: + Previously the BINLOG statement could execute all types of events. Now it can execute only format description events and row events. + The output from mysqlbinlog --base64-output=ALWAYS cannot be parsed. ALWAYS becomes an invalid value for this option in 5.6.1. For additional information, see Section 15.3.9, "Delayed Replication." (Bug #28760, Bug #11746794) * The Performance Schema now includes instrumentation for table input and output. Instrumented operations include row-level accesses to persistent base tables or temporary tables. Operations that affect rows are fetch, insert, update, and delete. For a view, waits are associated with base tables referenced by the view. InnoDB Configurable Data Dictionary cache * InnoDB Storage Engine: InnoDB now uses the table_cache option value as a guide to remove table metadata from memory when many different InnoDB tables are accessed. InnoDB table metadata is removed using a variation of the LRU algorithm. (Parent and child tables in foreign key relationships are exempted from removal.) (Bug #20877, Bug #11745884) INFORMATION_SCHEMA Table for InnoDB Metrics * InnoDB Storage Engine: A new INFORMATION_SCHEMA table, INNODB_METRICS, lets you query low-level InnoDB performance information, getting cumulative counts, averages, and min/max values for internal aspects of the storage engine operation. You can start, stop, and reset the metrics counters using the configuration variables innodb_monitor_enable, innodb_monitor_disable, innodb_monitor_reset, and innodb_monitor_reset_all. INFORMATION_SCHEMA Tables for InnoDB Buffer Pool Information * InnoDB Storage Engine: The new INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE, INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU, and INNODB_BUFFER_POOL_STATS display InnoDB buffer pool information for tuning on large-memory or highly loaded systems. INFORMATION_SCHEMA Tables for InnoDB Data Dictionary * InnoDB Storage Engine: The InnoDB data dictionary, containing metadata about InnoDB tables, columns, indexes, and foreign keys, is available for SQL queries through a set of INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables. Persistent InnoDB Optimizer Statistics * InnoDB Storage Engine: The optimizer statistics for InnoDB tables can now persist across server restarts, producing more stable query performance. You can also control the amount of sampling done to estimate cardinality for each index, resulting in more accurate optimizer statistics. * InnoDB Storage Engine: InnoDB can optionally log details about all deadlocks that occur, to assist with troubleshooting and diagnosis. This feature is controlled by the innodb_print_all_deadlocks configuration option. (Bug #1784, , Bug #11744783, Bug #17572) * InnoDB Storage Engine: A separate InnoDB thread (page_cleaner) now handles the flushing of dirty pages that was formerly done by the InnoDB master thread. * InnoDB Storage Engine: The configuration option innodb_purge_threads can now be set to a value higher than 1. * InnoDB Storage Engine: The InnoDB kernel mutex has been split into several mutexes and rw-locks, for improved concurrency. * Windows provides APIs based on UTF-16LE for reading from and writing to the console. MySQL now supports a utf16le character set for UTF-16LE, so the mysql client for Windows has been modified to provide improved Unicode support by using these APIs. To take advantage of this change, you must run mysql within a console that uses a compatible Unicode font and set the default character set to a Unicode character set that is supported for communication with the server. For instructions, see Section 18.104.22.168.1, "Unicode Support on Windows." * Several changes were made to optimizer-related system variables: + The optimizer_switch system variable has new engine_condition_pushdown and index_condition_pushdown flags to control whether storage engine condition pushdown and index condition pushdown optimizations are used. The engine_condition_pushdown system variable now is deprecated. For information about condition pushdown, see Section 7.13.3, "Engine Condition Pushdown Optimization," and Section 7.13.4, "Index Condition Pushdown Optimization." + The optimizer_switch system variable has new mrr and mrr_cost_based flags to control use of the Multi-Range Read optimization. The optimizer_use_mrr system variable has been removed. For information about Multi-Range Read, see Section 7.13.10, "Multi-Range Read Optimization." + The join_cache_level system variable has been renamed to optimizer_join_cache_level. This enables SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'optimizer%' to show more optimizer-related settings. * In MySQL 5.5, setting optimizer_search_depth to the deprecated value of 63 switched to the algorithm used in MySQL 5.0.0 (and previous versions) for performing searches. The value of 63 is now treated as invalid. * The Unicode implementation has been extended to a utf16le character set, which corresponds to the UTF-16LE encoding of the Unicode character set. This is similar to utf16 (UTF16) but is little-endian rather than big-endian. utf16le has two collations available: + utf16le_general_ci: The default collation, case sensitive (similar to utf16_general_ci. + utf16le_bin: Case sensitive, with by-codepoint comparison that provides the same order as utf16_bin. There are some limitations on the use of utf16le. With the exception of the item regarding user-defined collations, these are the same as the limitations on ucs2, utf16, and utf32. + utf16le cannot be used as a client character set, which means that it also does not work for SET NAMES or SET CHARACTER SET. + It is not possible to use LOAD DATA INFILE to load data files that use utf16le. + FULLTEXT indexes cannot be created on a column that uses utf16le. However, you can perform IN BOOLEAN MODE searches on the column without an index. + The use of ENCRYPT() with utf16le is not recommended because the underlying system call expects a string terminated by a zero byte. + It is not possible to create user-defined UCA collations for utf16le because there is no utf16le_unicode_ci collation, which would serve as the basis for such collations. * Unicode collation names now may include a version number to indicate the Unicode Collation Algorithm (UCA) version on which the collation is based. Initial collations thus created use version UCA 5.2.0. For example, utf8_unicode_520_ci is based on UCA 5.2.0. UCA-based Unicode collation names that do not include a version number are based on version 4.0.0. LOWER() and UPPER() perform case folding according to the collation of their argument. A character that has uppercase and lowercase versions only in a Unicode version more recent than 4.0.0 will be converted by these functions only if the argument has a collation that uses a recent enough UCA version. The LDML rules for creating user-defined collations are extended to permit an optional version attribute in <collation> tags to indicate the UCA version on which the collation is based. If the version attribute is omitted, its default value is 4.0.0. See Section 9.4.4, "Adding a UCA Collation to a Unicode Character Set." * Croatian collations were added for Unicode character sets: utf8_croatian_ci, ucs2_croatian_ci, utf8mb4_croatian_ci, utf16_croatian_ci, and utf32_croatian_ci. Thee collations have tailoring for Croatian letters: ÄŒ, Ć, Dž, Ä They are based on Unicode 4.0. * Vietnamese collations were added for the Unicode character sets. Those based on Unicode Collation Algorithm 5.2.0 have names of the form xxx_vietnamese_520_ci (for example, utf8_vietnamese_520_ci). Those based on Unicode Collation Algorithm 4.0.0 have names of the form xxx_vietnamese_ci (for example, utf8_vietnamese_ci). These collations are the same as the corresponding xxx_unicode_520_ci and xxx_unicode_ci collations except for precomposed characters which are accented versions of "A", "D", "E", "O", and "U". There is no change to ideographic characters derived from Chinese. There are no digraphs. * The Unicode character sets now have a xxx_german2_ci collation that provides DIN-2 (phone book) ordering (for example, utf8_german2_ci). See Section 188.8.131.52, "Unicode Character Sets." * The Romansh locale 'rm_CH' is now a permissible value for the lc_time_names system variable. (Bug #50915, Bug #11758678) * Partitioning: It is now possible to exchange a partition of a partitioned table or a subpartition of a subpartitioned table with a nonpartitioned table that otherwise has the same structure using the ALTER TABLE ... EXCHANGE PARTITION statement. This can be used, for example, for importing and exporting partitions. For more information and examples, see Section 16.3.3, "Exchanging Partitions and Subpartitions with Tables." * The mysql_upgrade, mysqlbinlog, mysqlcheck, mysqlimport, mysqlshow, and mysqlslap clients now have --default-auth and --plugin-dir options for specifying which authentication plugin and plugin directory to use. (Bug #58139, Bug #11765201) * mysqlbinlog now has a --binlog-row-event-max-size option to enable large row events to be read from binary log files. (Bug #49932) * mysqlbinlog now has the capability to back up a binary log in its original binary format. When invoked with the --read-from-remote-server and --raw options, mysqlbinlog connects to a server, requests the log files, and writes output files in the same format as the originals. See Section 126.96.36.199, "Using mysqlbinlog to Back Up Binary Log Files." * mysqldump now has an --add-drop-trigger option which adds a DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS statement before each dumped trigger definition. (Bug #34325, Bug #11747863) * mysqldump --xml now displays comments from column definitions. (Bug #13618, Bug #11745324) * A new SQL function, WEIGHT_STRING(), returns the weight string for an input string. The weight string represents the sorting and comparison value of the input string. * MySQL distributions now include auth_socket, a server-side authentication plugin that authenticates clients that connect from the local host through the Unix socket file. The plugin uses the SO_PEERCRED socket option to obtain information about the user running the client program (and thus can be built only on systems that support this option. For a connection to succeed, the plugin requires a match between the login name of the connecting client user and the MySQL user name presented by the client program. For more information, see Section 22.214.171.124.4, "The Socket Peer-Credential Authentication Plugin." (Bug #59017, Bug #11765993) * Boolean system variables can be enabled at run time by setting them to the value ON or OFF, but previously this did not work at server startup. Now at startup such variables can be enabled by setting them to ON or TRUE, or disabled by setting them to OFF or FALSE. Any other nonnumeric variable is invalid. (Bug #46393, Bug #11755200) See also Bug #11754743, Bug #51631. * Previously, for queries that were aborted due to a sort problem, the server wrote the message Sort aborted to the error log. Now the server writes more information to provide a more specific message, such as: Sort aborted: Out of memory (Needed 24 bytes) Out of sort memory, consider increasing server sort buffer size Sort aborted: Out of sort memory, consider increasing server sort buffer size Sort aborted: Incorrect number of arguments for FUNCTION test.f1; expected 0, got 1 In addition, if the server was started with --log-warnings=2, the server write information about the host, user, and query. (Bug #36022, Bug #11748358) * Previously, for queries that were aborted due to a sort problem or terminated with KILL in the middle of a sort, the server wrote the message Sort aborted to the error log. Now the server writes more information about the cause of the error. These causes include: Insufficient disk space in tmpdir prevented tmpfile from being created Insufficient memory for sort_buffer_size to be allocated Somebody ran KILL id in the middle of a filesort The server was shutdown while some queries were sorting A transaction got rolled back or aborted due to lock wait timeout or deadlock Unexpected errors, such as source table or even tmp table was corrupt processing of a subquery failed which was also sorting (Bug #30771, Bug #11747102) * The undocumented SHOW NEW MASTER statement has been removed. * MySQL distributions now include mysql_clear_password, a client-side authentication plugin that sends the password to the server without hashing or encryption. Although this is insecure, and thus appropriate precautions should be taken (such as using an SSL connection), the plugin is useful in conjunction with server-side plugins that must have access to the original password in clear text. For more information, see Section 188.8.131.52.3, "The Clear Text Client-Side Authentication Plugin." * A new plugin service, my_plugin_log_service, enables plugins to report errors and specify error messages. The server writes the messages to the error log. See Section 21.2.6, "MySQL Services for Plugins." * There is now a bind_address system variable containing the value of the --bind-address option. This enables the address to be accessed at runtime. (Bug #44355, Bug #11752999) * "Unknown table" error messages that included only the table name now include the database name as well. (Bug #34750, Bug #11747993) * Previously, EXPLAIN output for a large union truncated the UNION RESULT row at the end of the list as follows if the string became too large: <union1,2,3,4,...> To make it easier to understand the union boundaries, truncation now occurs in the middle of the string: <union1,2,3,...,9> (Bug #30597, Bug #11747073) * The OpenGIS specification defines functions that test the relationship between two geometry values. MySQL originally implemented these functions such that they used object bounding rectangles and returned the same result as the corresponding MBR-based functions. Corresponding versions are now available that use precise object shapes. These versions are named with an ST_ prefix. For example, Contains() uses object bounding rectangles, whereas ST_Contains() uses object shapes. For more information, see Section 22.214.171.124.2, "Functions That Test Spatial Relationships Between Geometries." There are also now ST_ aliases for existing spatial functions that were already exact. For example, ST_IsEmpty() is an alias for IsEmpty() (Bug #4249, Bug #11744883) * TO_BASE64() and FROM_BASE64() functions are now available to perform encoding to and from base-64 strings. * The Block Nested-Loop (BNL) Join algorithm previously used only for inner joins has been extended and can be employed for outer join operations, including nested outer joins. For more information, see Section 7.13.11, "Block Nested-Loop Joins." In conjunction with this work, there is a new system variable, optimizer_join_cache_level, that controls how join buffering is done. * A --bind-address option has been added to a number of MySQL client programs: mysql, mysqldump, mysqladmin, mysqlbinlog, mysqlcheck, mysqlimport, and mysqlshow. This is for use on a computer having multiple network interfaces, and enables you to choose which interface is used to connect to the MySQL server.

Which Wich?
Perusing the pavement for palate pleasing portions? Searching the solar system for savory swallows? Why not wander west to Which Wich?, the new casual sandwich shop on the corner of Dowlen at Folsom where all of your decisions are in the bag?
In fact there are so many decisions to be made about which superior sandwich to select at Which Wich? that hostesses are on hand to guide you through the process.
"Our sandwiches are customized and there are 51 different Wiches so the first time you come, it's a little confusing," said Faisal Lalani, co-owner of this first Southeast Texas location. "I mean we have three different kinds of onions, 60 different toppings and seven cheeses for starters."
To facilitate sandwich selecting, Which Wich? provides categorized brown paper bags that serve as "menus." Bags come in ten different categories – Turkey, Ham & Pork, Beef, Chicken, Seafood, Vegetarian, Italian, Comforts, Classics or Breakfast, which is served all day. Bag selection dictates further choices identified on the bag/menu.
If "Seafood" is the chosen bag, a diner would then have to choose among tuna, crab salad, surf and turf, shrimp po'boy or buffalo shrimp. Patrons picking "Comforts" will pick among a list including egg salad, chicken salad, triple cheese please, Elvis Wich (peanut butter, honey, bacon and banana) or BBQ Pork & Slaw.
Bag and/or category selection seems significant; however, it's just the beginning of the customizable flavor finding. Each bag, no matter the category, requires other selections including cheese, mustards, mayos, spreads and sauces, dressings, onions, veggies and oils and spices.If you want a spread or a sauce, there are 10 tantalizing tastes to choose from – A1, barbecue, buffalo, marinara, pesto, teriyaki, ketchup, salsa, hummus and tzatziki. You can have red, crispy strings or caramelized onions, and yellow, Dijon, honey or deli mustard. There are 13 veggies including sauerkraut, and seven oils and spices including oregano and garlic.
Whether you try the Which Wich signature sandwich "The Wicked" with five meats and three cheeses or the vegetarian Black Bean Patty, whichever Wich you get will be terrific to your taste buds because it will be your chosen chow.
Wiches are made on white or wheat bread, toasted or not, in 7, 10.5 and 14 inches, or in a bowl over lettuce. Selections are made on the bag with a red Sharpie or, for children but not limited to their use, red crayon, and signed. Wiches in waiting are announced by name for customer pick up and customers claim them in the bag.
"Ideally, wiches take three to four minutes to prepare," said Lalani, a 2006 finance graduate of the University of Texas who with his business partner, Shalin Patel, plans to open more locations of Which Wich? in the area and the country. "But they (wiches) are all different. We're not making 100 of the same thing here, so it may take a little longer sometimes, but we're still fast."
Which Wich? is fast and has some healthy choices, too. There are eight sandwiches that can be made to combine for less than 400 calories. In addition, ordering a "skinny" results in a wich made with hollowed out bread. Gluten-free breads will soon be available as well as a Coke bar, not exactly healthy but the first of its kind in the Southeast Texas.
"We want people to express themselves with their Wiches and soon with free-style Coke," said Lalani, whose favorite Wich "right now" is the Buffalo Chicken. "People will be able to customize their Coke beverages with different flavors."
Already, ice cream shakes and cookies, Rice Krispie treats and brownies are available for dessert. Wiches are also complemented by kettle-fried house potato chips or other chip selection and a soda, tea or water with crushed ice. Lalani says everyone loves their crushed ice.Which Wich? caters box lunches, platters and sides and sweets. Located at 3095 Dowlen Road, they are open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Find them online at www.whichwich.com or call them at (409) 892-9424.

Anyway, I'm going to Australia for my summer vacation.
You might not believe this, but I'm a kiwi and have never been to Australia before.
I have no big plans where to go yet, apart from Sydney first and then up to Brisbane.
I know I want to drive around Mount Panorama.

Well if your going Sydney to Brisbane your going Nowhere near Mt Panorama.
Bathurst is about 2-2.5 hours drive west of Sydney. Not much else to do out there but, trust me i lived in Orange (40 k's from Bathurst) for 20 years. Some good cool climate wines about, but not much else.
Well it's going to be a day trip out west. After driving the circuit, we'll just cruise around and see if there's something else of interest.
I'm there for 11 days, so I figure 4-5 days around Sydney, 4-5 around Bristane and travelling between them for the rest.
How long do you think it takes to travel from Sydney to Brisbane by car at a reasonable pace?

How much is a ticket and which airline should we use?
Webjet - This is the best place to look
It compares all the airlines on the days you want to fly and where you want to fly to. Jetstar or Virgin are the cheapest (they are no frills, but you will survive for a 90 minute flight from Sydney to Brisbane). I have flown Qantas between Sydney and Brisbane, but I didn't have to pay for the flight (it was already paid for me) but they are the more expensive option. Otherwise domestically I have flown Virgin Blue and they are fine and so is Jetstar. I flew with them from the Gold Coast to Osaka (direct) and it was fine, so there shouldn't be any problems flying between Sydney and Brisbane.
Or come to the Gold Coast instead of Brisbane.
I like Kingscliff better then Byron Bay personally.
It's not a bad spot though, Byron's just more exciting in my opinion.

DURHAM — Letters from New Hampshire soldiers written during the Civil War and gifted to the University of New Hampshire form the basis of an exhibition now on loan to the Portsmouth Public Library.
"Confronting the South: New Hampshire People During the Civil War" will be on display at the library through February. The exhibition is a collaboration between the University Museum and UNH's Milne Special Collections, recipients of the correspondences.
New Hampshire's 18 regiments lost 4,882 men during the Civil War. The 5th New Hampshire Volunteers Regiment saw more casualties than any other unit. And yet, in the day-to-day life of battle, there was the ordinary. Soldiers wrote home of the beautiful countryside; of resentments at missed promotions; of playing cards and football, and what they had for dinner.
The former shopkeepers and farmers and teachers and blacksmiths wrote of their eagerness to fight. They wrote of death. Of lost limbs and men's cries so "horrible to hear." The letters, written between husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, and men and their mothers, tell a story like no other of those historic years.
"We're excited to share the exhibit with our friends in Portsmouth. Putting together an exhibition takes a lot of work so it's wonderful when the effort can receive more exposure and be reinterpreted at different venues," says Dale Valena, UNH Museum curator.
The Portsmouth Public Library has paired the exhibition with a commemoration of the Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863.
"We're happy to share the work of the university with a broader audience, and of course, it's an honor to be a part of the conversation about this time in history," says Mary Ann List, director of Portsmouth Public Library.
Kyle Murphy '12 worked with Valena and Bill Ross of the Milne Special Collections to transcribe the letters. All attempts were made to preserve the correspondents' words as they appeared in the original letters.
"Confronting the South: New Hampshire People During the Civil War" will travel to the Hudson Public Library during the summer of 2013.

Bus service to Social Security office begins in January
City bus riders who've been without service to portions of Beaumont are getting a little reprieve now that city officials have decided on the addition of a new route.
After City Manager Kyle Hayes recommended the addition at the Beaumont City Council's Nov. 6 meeting, the council merged routes and removed a small "tripper" bus that runs mostly on weekends in order to keep the route changes revenue neutral, not raising the city's operating cost.
The route changes, which followed a public hearing Tuesday, Nov. 6, required no council vote.
The route changes will provide service to most businesses on College, west of Fourth Street, who previously had minimal bus service. Also buses will provide Beaumont's West End with new service to North Major and the Social Security office there.
Citizens have long complained to City Council that no buses went to the new Social Security office on Dishman Road as well as the HEB Plus on Dowlen.
To mitigate the problem, council was close to deciding on a route at last week's Oct. 30 council meeting, but Councilman Audwin Samuel asked the council to consider a second route change after he met with city bus drivers on the council's off week, Oct. 23.
Councilman Samuel said the route changes will take effect Jan. 1, 2013, and are much better than the original proposed additional route.
"It allows for multiple transfers rather than having to get on at the main station (downtown) and then ride back there in order to take a route back out," he said. "So it adds a little more convenience."
Councilman Mike Getz, a long-time advocate for amended transit routes, says while he's happy council has finally taken up amending the city's bus routes, the costs to operate the system are unsustainable.
"There's still a lot of inefficient things about the bus system," he said. "But by eliminating a route that was almost always empty, the Saturday 'day tripper' to Parkdale Mall, we are bringing service to an area of Beaumont that has been without service. That's a good thing."
For months, many on council, including Getz, have warned the city may not be able to sustain the current transit system. As the federal government's share of the system is going down, the city's share is going up. The city currently spends about $2.5 million annually to the federal government's $3 million.
According to transit director Bill Munson, the city's share of the cost is increasing by about $20,000 to $30,000 a year.
"I would look at eliminating nighttime service," Getz said as a means to control the transit system's cost to the city. "I think that as Beaumont's subsidy continues to increase and the federal governments portion that they contribute continues to decrease, we're going to have to continue to look at ways to try to keep this service provided to our citizens from a practical financial standpoint."
Getz said the city's ridership isn't what it used to be after the 2010 census revealed about 1,000 people use Beaumont's transit system.
"If that is in fact a realistic number and we're spending close to $5 million a year, then we have to ask ourselves (if) there other alternatives that we can do other than basically contributing what amounts to $5,000 a person to provide transportation."
The city also raised the adult fare from $1.25 to $1.50 to comply with federal mandates requiring that reduced fares for seniors and the disabled be half that of the adult fare, keeping the discounted fare at 75 cents.

What follows is a section of my 2010 Walla Walla Spring Release Report. The report will be published in its entirety in .pdf form after the last entry is posted to the blog. See previous posts here.
Locati Cellars is a new Walla Walla winery which opened in December of 2009. The winery, named after owners Michael and Penny Locati, focuses on Italian varietals. Locati's tasting room is located in The Depot building right off Highway 12 in Walla Walla.
While Locati has sourced fruit for its initial offerings, the winery has a thirty-seven acre estate vineyard, nine of which are currently planted to Barbera and Sangiovese. The vineyard is now in its third leaf.
Locati's initial offerings have been made by consulting winemakers.
Locati Cellars makes 1,000 cases annually.
Note: This article was revised after publication due to inaccuracies regarding the size and plantings of the estate vineyard as well as the winery's future plans for the position of winemaker. See the comment thread.
Locati Cellars Sangiovese Columbia Valley 2006 $26
Rating: * (Excellent) Earth, pepper, red currant, and cranberry on an aromatic wine that also shows a bit of baker's chocolate. Zippy acidity with a lot of cranberry flavors on a somewhat puckering palate. 100% Sangiovese. Candy Mountain.
Locati Cellars Innovation Columbia Valley 2007 $25
Rating: + (Good) Light in color. Bright and fruit filled with cranberries, red cherries, a touch of earth, and some candied aromas. Tart with rich chocolate flavors and cranberry fruit on the palate. An enjoyable, clean wine. 54% Barbera (Lonesome Springs Vineyard), 33% Cabernet Sauvignon (Goose Ridge), and 13% Sangiovese (Candy Mountain).
Locati Cellars Barbera Columbia Valley 2006 $26
Rating: + (Good) Bright, candied red fruit and red currant along with black tea. A very tart palate that shows lots of cranberry flavors. Lonesome Springs Vineyard.

You might want to check on your sources, some of the info in this article is incorrect. I've read your articles for some time and have learned a great deal through your posts, but sadly this article contains errors. Specifically on the vineyard varietals and consulting winemaker.
Anon, thanks for the heads up. I aim to provide accurate information, so this concerns me.
Can you be more specific regarding the vineyard varietal inaccuracies? Was this the varietals planted at the estate vineyard or the vineyard sources referenced in the tasting notes?
Regarding an inaccuracy regarding the wines being made by a consulting winemaker, I have additional information about who started and finished these wines but did not include it as I was unable to receive confirmation from the winery that this information was public. For this reason, I made the information in the piece more generic.
Feel free to email me at email@example.com if it's easier to discuss and I will make appropriate changes. Thanks again.
Absolutely I will get you the appropriate information compiled in an email and send it your way! Thanks for the quick reply.
Excellent. Many thanks.
Every blogger, including the old fart for the newspaper, makes unintentional oversights.
Crap, you think you can blog with dead accuracy on a consistent basis for no pay? I'd like to see it. Prove it. Has never been done so lead the way, "anonymous". Chicken crap comment if ever I read one. Go and drink beer...
WWM, thanks for having my back. Fear not, the comment was well intended and I got details to fix the piece.
WWM I most definitely meant the comment to have the best intentions. I didn't want any possible negative comments to incur because of false info. It's hard to portray voice tone, but I assure you this anonymous reader was looking out for this sites best interests! :-)
And PLEASE let this not reflect on the winemaker, Winery or vineyard because they are excellent wines to be appreciated by all.
Anon 3:13, don't worry. I think it just reflects on me!

An edgy proposition
Send a link to a friend
[June 10, 2014]
at it again. You know Delbert McLain, our local chamber of commerce?
He's the guy who wants to bring lots of people here so the place
isn't quite as nice as it is now.
Well, ol' Delbert zipped into the Mule Barn truck stop the other
day, plopped down at the empty Round Table, and motioned for those
of us at the philosophy counter to join him. We did.
"Boys," he said, when we were seated and sipping, "I want to bounce
an idea off you and see how it goes."
He almost whispered, "Two words … knife sharpening!"
"Sure," said Dud, pulling a diamond steel from a holster on his
belt. "I'll sharpen it for you, Delbert."
"No, I don't mean I need a knife sharpened," he said, "I mean … a
knife-sharpening contest. Actually, a knife-sharpening fiesta!"
His face beamed, he spread his arms, his hands palms up toward
Heaven as the sheer Divine magnitude of the idea settled in. Doc
reached for another sugar packet.
"Just think of it, guys," Delbert said, "A veritable bevy of blade
bevellers descending on our community, spending money in our
restaurants, buying the latest in knife gear from the hardware
store, filling the rooms at the motel."
[to top of second
He looked around. Steve's coffee made him
cough. Doc chuckled into his hand. Dud put his diamond steel away.
"Sounds like a sharp idea to me, Del," said Doc. "I like the way you
came right to the point."
"An edgy proposition," Dud said, "but one that whets the appetite."
Steve recovered from his coughing fit. "You could hold it out in the
pasture and call it 'Hone on the Range.'"
Delbert ignored the groaning and smiled. "That's it, boys. Think on
it. Let's come up with some good angles."
And Doc said, "I hear 10 to 15 degrees is best for a really sharp
Cracker packets flew.

I drove to Alaska solo, only knowing one person in the entire state, Mark Sullivan. And without knowing his phone number or where he was staying, hopefully I'd run into him. And I did. Mark and Nick Perata (www.mtnops.com ) would be my ever-gracious hosts on this journey that was Tailgate Alaska. The first day I showed up they put me up in this luxurioius accomidation in the parking lot of ABA. (www.alaskabackcountry.com ) complete with a woodstove, barbeque and 2 gallons of suerkraut:
Lucky for me, the sun popped the first day I was there and a 7.3 minute roop on my snowmachine (up the buried section of the Alaska Pipeline) got me here. The sled access from Thompson pass is unlike any where else I've ever seen, so if you plan on coming (which you should be) bring your snowmachine, or at least a $5,000 heli budget.
The ride in the heli is almost as fun as where most operations will take you for your first run. Here's part of the Berlin Wall through the heli window, the next mountain to our right would be Goodwill's. Named after Matt Goodwill who took the 80+ft mandatory cliff to Stompsville back in the 90's. All of this stuff is visible from the highway/basecamp and a short jaunt for the eager skinner/splitboarder.
Nick Perata and Mark Sullivan about to drop on my first heli run ever!
Just another sunset……on an epic pow run at 9pm.
Though the heli is obviously the best form of access, snowmachine is the most proficient. You just need a crew that has similar interests and an ever-present trust. Here's Mark Sullivan stoked on still being alive after a dicey run down the Berlin Wall. This day Mark, Rob Kingwill and I made a short (3 minute) sled trip to 20 minute hike to get on top of the famed Berlin Wall. Something people pay upwards of $200 to ride!
The Coolest Tailgate Party Ever!!

Cydia: it's everyone's favorite path to those juicy jailbroken iOS apps Apple wants to keep from you. And its curators are taking the show to Macs, offering an alternative to the Mac App Store. But... uh... why?
While a mirror App Store makes sense given how locked-down iOS is, Apple's so far not proposed any such restrictions on what OS X users can download. You can, and will continue to be able to, download whatever you darn well please. Unless! Apple at some point starts imposing the same censorship on Macs that they have on iPhone and iPad.
That's really why Cydia's coming to Mac; as a precautionary measure. Sure, right off the bat it'll allow you to do things the Mac App Store won't let you, like make in-app payments and view demos. But that's just prologue. The real show begins if and when Apple decides to limit your download options for your computer. That's when Cydia becomes the ghost in the machine. [Cult of Mac]

Spending on nondefense investments is nearing historic lows.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, as part of its ongoing public education efforts, just published a simplified summary of the outlook for federal spending that does not bode well for most agencies.
The matter-of-fact slide show delivered to the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research by CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf May 13 reiterates some familiar grim news. For example, federal debt as percentage of gross domestic product is now at its highest since 1950, while budget deficits, while declining now, are set to rise beginning in 2016.
The reasons for the imbalance include entitlement commitments, the demographic bulge of the baby-boomers and health care costs that are growing more rapidly than the rest of the economy. Interestingly, the average tax burdens in 2013 for most income groups, CBO said, were "well below their averages for the 1979–2010 period." Yet federal spending and revenues are both projected to rise above their 40-year averages--beginning this year.
Perhaps the most salient point will affect feds who work not on giant slices of the pie chart like Social Security and Medicare but on programs that depend on an annual appropriation. Spending on such nondefense "investments," which, CBO notes, do the most to help move goods and services in the private sector, taken together by 2023 will be a smaller percentage of GDP than in at least 70 years.
Whatever solution emerges from Congress and the White House, the studiously neutral agency opines, budgeteers "will need to cut benefits from those large [entitlement] programs, raise tax revenue above its historical percentage of GDP to pay for the rising cost of those programs, or adopt a combination of those approaches."

Committee Opinion Number 683, January 2017
(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 508, October 2011) (Reaffirmed 2019)
ABSTRACT: A key element of an organizational safety culture is maintaining an environment of professionalism that encourages communication and promotes high-quality care. Behavior that undermines a culture of safety, including disruptive or intimidating behavior, has a negative effect on the quality and safety of patient care. Intimidating behavior and disruptive behavior are unprofessional and should not be tolerated. Confronting disruptive individuals is difficult. Co-workers often are reluctant to report disruptive behavior because of fear of retaliation and the stigma associated with "bl...
Committee Opinion Number 622, February 2015
(Reaffirmed 2019)
ABSTRACT: Digital and social media quickly are becoming universal in modern medical practice. Data sharing, online reviews and ratings, and digital privacy concerns likely will become a part of most every physician's practice, regardless of his or her use of social media. The widespread use of social media in the United States brings unprecedented connectivity that opens new horizons for physicians, ranging from interactions with patients, to communication with peers and the public, to novel approaches to research.
Committee Opinion Number 621, January 2015
(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 472, November 2010)
ABSTRACT: The advantages of health information technology (IT) include facilitating communication between health care providers; improving medication safety, tracking, and reporting; and promoting quality of care through optimized access to and adherence to guidelines. Health IT systems permit the collection of data for use for quality management, outcome reporting, and public health disease surveillance and reporting. However, improvement is needed with all health IT, especially regarding design, implementation, and integration between platforms within the work environment. Robust interopera...
Committee Opinion Number 546, December 2012
(Replaces No. 461, August 2010) (Reaffirmed 2019)
ABSTRACT: An accurate and effective tracking or reminder system is useful for the modern practice of obstetrics and gynecology. Practices should not rely solely on the patient to complete all ordered studies and to follow up on health care provider recommendations. Health care providers should encourage their patients to complete studies believed essential for patient care within an acceptable time frame. Each office should establish a simple, reliable tracking and reminder system to facilitate communication, improve patient safety and quality of care, and minimize missed or delayed diagnoses.

(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 639, September 2015)(Reaffirmed 2019)
ABSTRACT: Information from vital records is critical to identify and quantify health-related issues and to measure progress toward quality improvement and public health goals. In particular, maternal and infant mortality serve as important indicators of the nation's health, thereby influencing policy development, funding of programs and research, and measures of health care quality. Accurate and timely documentation of births and deaths is essential to high-quality vital statistics. This Committee Opinion describes the process by which births, maternal deaths, and fetal deaths are registered;...
Committee Opinion Number 480, March 2011
Reaffirmed 2017
ABSTRACT: Empathy is the process through which one attempts to project oneself into another's life and imagine a situation from his or her point of view. Most individuals do have an innate capacity to show empathy toward others. Empathy is as important to being a good physician as technical competence. However, at times the health care environment and educational process overly emphasize technological competence, curing disease rather than healing the patient, or the economic aspects of medicine. This may interfere with an empathic approach in the clinical setting. In this Committee Opinion, ...

New York Times Considering Charging Online
The newspaper floated the idea to its print subscribers in a survey, which also reportedly asked about a discounted $2.50 Web access rate for subscribers.
The Times already dabbled in subscription-based services back in 2007 with the now-defunct Times Select, which provided paid access to columnists' content. That section attracted 200,000 users, or about $10 million a year in revenue, at its peak, Bloomberg said.
The paper eventually abandoned that service, but dwindling ad revenue has prompted the Times and many other newspapers to look at other ways of bringing in money.
The Times is likely to start charging for access on mobile phones before it requests payment for its Web site, according to Martin Nisenholtz, the head of digital operations.Originally posted to AppScout.

PALISADES, New York, August 21, 2008 (ENS) - The nuclear power plant closest to America's largest city is more likely to be hit by an earthquake than previously thought because it sits atop a newly identified intersection of two active seismic zones, earthquake scientists warned today.
The Indian Point nuclear power plant, with its two nuclear generating units, is situated 24 miles north of New York City, on the Hudson River at Buchanan, New York.
Researchers from Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory have located a previously unknown active seismic zone running from Stamford, Connecticut, to the Hudson Valley town of Peekskill, New York, where it passes less than a mile north of the Indian Point nuclear power plant.
The Stamford-Peekskill line intersects with the known Ramapo seismic zone, which runs from eastern Pennsylvania to the mid-Hudson Valley, passing within two miles northwest of Indian Point.
The Stamford-Peekskill line stands out sharply on the researchers' earthquake map, with small events clustered along its length, and to its immediate southwest. Just to the north, there are no quakes, indicating that it represents some kind of underground boundary.
The pattern emerged when the Earth Observatory scientists compiled a catalog of all 383 known earthquakes from 1677 to 2007 in a 15,000 square mile area around New York City. The observatory runs the network of instruments that monitors most of the northeastern United States for earthquake activity.
Their paper appears in the current issue of the "Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America." "Indian Point is situated at the intersection of the two most striking linear features marking the seismicity and also in the midst of a large population that is at risk in case of an accident," says the paper. "This is clearly one of the least favorable sites in our study area from an earthquake hazard and risk perspective."
Lead author Lynn Sykes says the data show that large quakes are infrequent around New York compared to more active areas like California and Japan, but that the risk is high, because of the overwhelming concentration of people and infrastructure.
"The research raises the perception both of how common these events are, and, specifically, where they may occur," he said. "It's an extremely populated area with very large assets."
Nearly 10 million people live within 25 miles of the Indian Point nuclear plant, including the 8.2 million in the New York metropolitan area.
Sykes, who has studied the region for 40 years, is known for his early role in establishing the global theory of plate tectonics.
Sykes and his team say the insight comes from sophisticated analysis of past quakes, plus 34 years of new data on tremors, most of them perceptible only by modern seismic instruments.
It is parallel to other faults beginning at 125th Street in New York City, so the researchers believe it is a fault in the same family. They say it is probably capable of producing at least a magnitude 6 quake, strong enough to damage structures.
Sykes said the existence of the Stamford-Peekskill line had been suggested before, because the Hudson River takes a sudden unexplained bend just to the north of Indian Point, and definite traces of an old fault can be along the north side of the bend.
"The seismic evidence confirms it," he said.
The findings come at a time when Entergy, the owner and operator of Indian Point, is trying to relicense the two operating plants for an additional 20 years - a move being fought by surrounding communities and the New York State Attorney General. Licenses for Indian Point's two reactors expire in 2013 and 2015.
Last fall New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, alerted to the then-unpublished Lamont data, told a Nuclear Regulatory Commission panel in a filing, "New data developed in the last 20 years disclose a substantially higher likelihood of significant earthquake activity in the vicinity of [Indian Point] that could exceed the earthquake design for the facility."
The state alleges that Entergy has not presented new data on earthquakes past 1979. However, in a little-noticed decision July 31, the panel rejected the argument on procedural grounds. A source at the attorney general's office said the state is considering its options.
The Earth Observatory research shows a pattern of subtle but active earthquake faults that makes the risk of earthquakes to the entire New York City area greater than scientsts had previously believed.
The evidence charts unseen but potentially powerful structures whose layout and dynamics are only now emerging, say the scientists.
Starting in the early 1970s Lamont began collecting data on quakes from dozens of newly deployed seismometers; these have revealed distinct zones where earthquakes concentrate, and where larger ones could come.
For data on the earlier quakes, coauthor John Armbruster estimated sizes and locations of dozens of events before 1930 by combing newspaper accounts and other records.
His research shows that magnitude 5 quakes - strong enough to cause damage - occurred in 1737, 1783 and 1884.
There was little human settlement in the area to be hurt by the first two quakes, whose locations are vague due to a lack of good accounts; but the 1884 quake, thought to be centered under the seabed somewhere between Brooklyn and Sandy Hook, toppled chimneys across the city and New Jersey, and panicked bathers at Coney Island.
Based on this analysis, the researchers say such quakes should be routinely expected, on average, about every 100 years.
"Today, with so many more buildings and people, a magnitude 5 centered below the city would be extremely attention-getting," said Armbruster. "We'd see billions in damage, with some brick buildings falling. People would probably be killed."
Based on the lengths of the faults, the detected tremors, and calculations of how stresses build in the Earth's crust, the Earth Observatory researchers say that magnitude 6 quakes, or even magnitude 7, are possible.

I've been learning C++ for about a month now, and before I go any further, I'd like to clear up this tedious question I keep on having. I know what a GUI is, but I don't really know how it works, and maybe examples of popular ones?
Although I know command line programming is the bare fundamentals, I think it'd be fun messing around with a GUI.
Although I have around 3 million other questions, I'll save them :D

Wii U delivers quality, innovation but will it save Nintendo? (review)
It shouldn't be a surprise that the latest Nintendo system is more difficult to buy. Over the last couple of years, the company has been a massive let down with the systems being produced and the games being published.
I am a skeptic and hesitant to say there will be good fortune for this company in the future, but the new Nintendo Wii U is innovative and has plenty of potential.
