This poor guy. A teammate in the back of this John Tavares interview poked his head around the wall of the showers and saw nothing but cameras rolling. Apparently in the nude and unwilling to strut his stuff for all the viewers tuning in for Islanders pre-season post-game coverage, he popped back behind the wall and waited.
A kind soul sprang him from his prison of modesty with a towel and he eventually walked away, peace of mind intact that the world was not privy to his johnson.

Since 2009, Optus has invested a considerable amount of capital into upgrading its network – including adding 4G capabilities – spending $1.8 billion in the process. Most recently, the telco has invested $600 million in network upgrades over the past year – and further investment has been forecast.
Media reports have pegged future investment from SingTel at $2 billion.
4G wars: Can Optus and Vodafone compete with Telstra?
While Telstra has streaked ahead in its 4G rollout, Optus appears to have some constraints on the horizon, particularly if the telco does not get the 700MHz spectrum at the Digital Dividend auction it is banking on winning.
How Optus is rolling out 4G
So far Optus has upgraded more than 600 sites in its portfolio to 4G capabilities, with more than 5000 sites in total across Australia.
The upgrade process can include building extra equipment, installing new antennas and upgrading the backhaul to provide more capacity. In metro areas this typically involves fibre, but in regional areas this can be using radio.
"Usually there's work putting an extra antenna or a set of antennas up on the site, so that might involve rigging near what's called the feeders, which is the cabling that takes the cabling from the radio signals to the base station up to the antennas," Andrew Smith, vice-president, mobile core engineering at Optus, told Computerworld Australia.
"The site might be a tower or it might be what you're probably more likely to see in the metropolitan areas on a rooftop somewhere where you see a number of panel antennas, generally pointed in three different directions from that site."
Smith says this typically takes place over a couple of weeks, with additional work required prior to on-site changes. For example, planning approval needs to be sought for some work and council approval for permits may also be required to carry out on-site work.
Eventually, every single Optus tower and mobile base station will be upgraded to support 4G services.
"There's lots of logistical challenges in getting all the new equipment on-site and going through the approval process to do that. We're dealing with new antenna designs [and] we're dealing with a reasonably new technology," Smith says.
"There's a lot of physical work on-site [and] there's a lot of work in upgrading the backhaul, which means the continual evolution of our fibre network and getting fibre rolled out in more places because that provides us with a bigger pipe to the base stations. There are a lot of people involved inside Optus who work on this and we have a lot of work in the hands of our contractors as well in the market."
Work is typically carried out during 'maintenance windows', according to Smith, with the telco notifying customers if network issues are expected to occur.
"We have an engaged process as to how we deal with that. It isn't just turning off sites for our convenience to get the work done. There are very strict principles about how we manage our services through the upgrade process," Smith says.
Optus has also signed an agreement with competitor Vodafone to share resources in a bid to push out 4G services quicker.
The agreement means both parties can access a certain number of each other's sites – around 1000 in total. This allows Optus to install its equipment on Vodafone sites and vice versa.
"The deal here is we get access to a broader pool of sites [and] we get there a lot faster too because accessing their sites is a lot faster than building them, and also reduces a lot of the environmental impact. That's 1000 new sites that we're not needing to build to add to the number of sites in the environment, so it's a more effective use of the resources in the industry," Smith says.
A joint venture agreement between the company covering 3G services was initially signed in 2004, with the most recent agreement a cost effective way for both companies to propel themselves forward in the 4G market.
"This is around trying to reduce the capital costs [and] reduce the operating cost so we can effectively deliver better propositions to customers by having a more economic base for our mobile investment," Smith says.
"Yes, they are a competitor, but those sort of top-line competitive aspects – marketing and pricing – are absolutely independent of this joint venture."
Smith was reluctant to peg the agreement as a way for Australia's number two and three telcos to compete with Telstra when on the 4G front.
"Telstra – it's really up to them as to the degree they want to roll out 4G and their speed to market. We see this as something that's necessary to provide the customers with the services we are. So yes, we want to make sure we're absolutely competitive in that market and we believe the joint venture is a good way for us to retain and maintain a competitive position that we have against Telstra," he says.
The agreement will also involve the construction of 500 new sites, with Optus and Vodafone to share the costs of construction. These new sites, according to Smith, will primarily be located on the fringes of metro areas and cover growing housing estates.
The agreement will provide Optus with a 20 per cent increase in the number of mobile sites in its network by 2015 and accelerate improvements to 3G and 4G services by 12 to 18 months.
Like Telstra, Optus has not been shy in announcing its intention to acquire some of the 700MHz spectrum being auctioned in the Digital Dividend.
While Telstra and Vodafone have access to lower spectrum bands, such as 800MHz, Optus does not have access to this band. Instead, it has access to 900MHz, 1800MHz and 2100MHz.
Optus has been involved with trials on the 700MHz band in Bendigo, Victoria, and acquiring 700MHz could be crucial to Optus' plans to roll out 4G; Paul O'Sullivan, Optus chief executive, has stated it would be "vital for delivering 4G LTE, especially in regional Australia, because of its ability to deliver LTE over longer distances".
Smith also believes 4G is best deployed in low spectrum bands.
"The best way to architect [3G and 4G] is to have a good low band, which gives you the good depth of coverage, or the range, and 700MHz – or the Digital Dividend – is one that we've been advocating for some time," he says.
The Digital Dividend auction is not scheduled to occur until 2013 and may not be available until 2015.
"At this point our focus is on acquiring 700MHz. We do think it's the right thing in our position to do, but obviously there's an auction in the process … so we'll cross that bridge.," he says.
Optus will continue to roll out 4G on the 1800MHz spectrum and introduce a TTD 2300MHz 4G service as well.
"That'll add capability and capacity to the network, so we'll continue to roll out 4G and then we'll supplement that with 700MHz, assuming that we get it at the auction... We see it as a series of steps to ultimately provide a comprehensive 4G service," Smith says.
Optus states its 4G technology can achieve speeds of 2-40Mbps, with latency around a third of 3G, Smith says. He expects speeds will also improve in the future.
The future for Optus' 4G
Optus has plans to enter the Adelaide and Brisbane markets with 4G services early next year, Smith says.
In the meantime, the telco will continue to gradually roll out 4G services and expand its metro coverage.
"Next year's icing on the cake for us as we bring this 4G TTD, which comes from the 2300MHz spectrum which we acquired from vividwireless, and we add that to our 4G portfolio while we also continue to expand our current [offering]," Smith says.
"Then, auction permitting, we'll also bring 700MHz. Really, over the next few years, our customers can expect a fantastic improvement in expansion and the level of 4G coverage and capability we offer. We think the market will eat that up."

Fit cities program starts in five Colorado towns
Five Colorado towns are taking the lead in a community program to get citizens fit and slim.
Littleton, Brush, Oak Creek, Bennett and Cortez are the first to join the Heal Cities & Towns Campaign to promote healthy eating and exercise. In Colorado, 58 percent of adults and nearly 25 percent of children are obese or overweight. The state spent $1.637 billion treating diseases and conditions related to obesity in 2009.
Cities that sign up for the program are supposed to lead by example, designing wellness programs for city employees. The program also includes an eight-person committee created by LiveWell Colorado and the Colorado Municipal League to brainstorm about health initiatives. LiveWell Colorado is providing free training and technical help to community leaders as they strategize about improving access to healthy foods and active lifestyles.
Littleton, which already has committed to an employee health-care clinic and expanded open space and trails, was the first town in Colorado to pass a resolution to join the HEAL Cities & Towns Campaign.
Oak Creek created a city trail plan for pedestrians and cyclists, and Brush and Cortez are serving healthy food at city-run meetings and starting employee wellness programs.
"We are hoping to have several more communities that commit to the HEAL campaign by the year's end, but, ultimately, our goal is to create impactful, lasting, healthy change in communities all across the state," said Maren Stewart, president and CEO of LiveWell Colorado.

This week I want to share a couple of treasures from my special shoebox. I have here a couple of stock certificates for 15 shares belonging to my grandfather, Calvin Buck Smedley, from the Bear Lake Phosphate Mining Company. One was dated 12 May 1921 and the other 12 July 1921.
The Bear Lake Phosphate Company began mining around 1920 and ceased in 1925. The property changed several hands after that. You can see photos and read more about it here.
Too bad we can't cash in on these -- ; D

Florida Snake Identification Key
Rainbow Snake
Scientific name: Farancia erytrogramma (PALISSOT DE BEAUVOIS in SONNINI & LATREILLE 1801)
The following key will separate the two Rainbow Snakes found in Florida. If you are unable to distinguish between them based on the characteristics in the key below, you probably can do so using the geographic location alone.
Select the box below that is the closest match to your snake:
Belly and lower sides clear red except for 3 rows of black spots forming longitudinal stripes on belly scales; central Florida and the coastal plain to eastern Louisiana and eastern Virginia.
Your snake could be a Rainbow Snake, Farancia erytrogramma erytrogramma.
Black spots and speckles on every belly scale and lower two rows of scales on side of body; northern Lake Okeechobee.
Your snake could be a Southern Florida Rainbow Snake, Farancia erytrogramma seminola.
I'd like to start over from the beginning
I'd like to try identifying my snake another way.

Does anyone have a link to a very good memory manager tutorial?
Does anyone have a link to a very good memory manager tutorial?
memory management comes in all sorts of guises at all sorts of levels. Explain a little more about the sort of memory management you want to do.
Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
And the FAQ is here :- http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/smartfaq.cgi
Actually, memory management is very simple, from the O/S perspective. Memory Management has one and only one purpose--
To fulfill memory requests and keep the heap clean.
Let me explain a little bit about how memory managers actually work (something Microsoft has not yet implimented by the way, even in XP)...
First, when an application runs, the O/S allocates a 'heap' of RAM of the size specified by the compiler when the executable was built. This is an adjustable field, but many times is defaulted to something like 384K.
Then, it loads the application to that 0-base address (relative to the heap) and sets the application stack pointer to start running there. The application's stub resolves the jumptables, links, and static/global variable spaces, establishes a stackframe, sets up master pointers and then jumps to main().
Now, once an application is up and running, a good memory manager will then fulfill any RAM requests (eg. 'malloc()', etc.), so long as
a) there is enough free RAM available in the Application Heap, or
b) there is enough free RAM available in the System Heap
In either case, the memory should be consecutive. Free memory should related to 'largest free block'... Microsoft, however just builds an array of pointers to free blocks of any size. So for example, if you needed a block 100K in size, Microsoft might actually allocate 20 different blocks with 20 pointers, each block being 5K in size. In essense you would be working with a 'super-block'. To the application it thinks it's getting a 100K block- but in reality performance is slowed because the memory manager must traverse 20 different blocks transparently to the application. This creates bad overhead process hits because the O/S isn't written correctly.
A properly written memory manager would always be looking to move blocks around in RAM (heap compaction), and keep wide-open spaces, wide-open.
In any event, the block is allocated.
RAM blocks usually have a 12-byte header preceding the address of the block you are handed. The memory manager then knows all it needs to know about each RAMblock because it can query this header and learn about the block. Usually the memory manager will have a master list of pointers for all blocks used by the application.
Now, if you mean managing your own application memory, it means dynamic allocation, keeping track of and properly deallocating your pointers. Failing gracefully if sufficient RAM can't be allocated for a process, etc.
You might try www.microsoft.com or a bookstore.
speaking of which... under which conditions could malloc/realloc/calloc fail besides inadequate remaining free memory? i'd like to know so i can gauge free memory at the very start, and decide whether or not to bomb with an 'insufficient memory' error at the very beginning... or i could malloc it all at the very beginning, but i may/may not use all that space so it's something i frown upon... any advice? i know you know your stuff Sayeh, so help me out! thanks...
hasafraggin shizigishin oppashigger...
In all fairness, I'm not going to give a "definitive" answer on this one, doubleanti, because I can't vouch for how Windows is written. Except that it was poorly done and based on OOPs.
There are many cases where any Xalloc() call will fail and it's because some other portion of the O/S has trashed it (such as winsock scrambling a block header...
All this is to say, that I can't say "Here are the only X ways in which Xalloc() will fail..."
There are just too much bizarre ways in which it can fail-- even if you've done everything right!
yeah, that really stinks that we don't really know who's-on-first, since it could have been rewritten to begin with... that really stinks... and i think that that undermines what it means to be a programmer... to be on-first...

http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/tlk/tlk.html, the intel system manual, and http://jan.netcomp.monash.edu.au/OS/l7_1.html
I've noticed that a lot of people do not use new and delete, especially inside of Windows code. Why? All of the source files for OWL in Borland use new and delete and never use the *alloc(s). The same is true for DOS code. Many people just do not use new and delete. My books do differentiate between new and delete and the *alloc(s). Seems to me if you use C++ you would use new and delete and vice versa. I've also heard that the reason is because new and delete do not work well with dynamic memory, but this cannot be true as OWL performs flawlessly using new and delete.
Is this the same reason why people use printf() in C++ rather than cout - just depends on what they are used to using.
For Windows apps I usually allocate from the system using the memory management functions in the API. However, some of that becomes very unstable if a previous app has thrashed the memory by not unlocking or failing to free up a memory handle/pointer.
Been a while since I've done some Windows code so I've forgotten the mem functions in Windows - been doing lots of DJGPP and LFB stuff. Love my DJGPP.
Thanks for the links, everyone. Every post was helpful. To quickly address Bubba's question about new and delete there are a number of reasons why they aren't used as much. For games, it is always better to make a custom memory manager. Don't forget that both new and delete are operators, therefore you can overload them.
Since my current project is very platform dependent, I have found myself open to many options. The manager I wrote actually does not use linked lists, like any other one i have written before now. I found that just using the headers and pointer arithmetic works just fine.
say bubba, sounds like i'm gonna switch to cout and new/delete then! can you give me any resources on the subject? like a complete listing of their usage... [i can sort of grasp them... but not as much as i could a regular function]... i have C:The Complete Reference... which doesn't help too much... [new and delete has a small section tho...] oh, and i learnt C first without caring much for the ++ parts... but now that i use them throughly and on a regular basis, i'd really think it time to switch... PM me... thank you very much...
hasafraggin shizigishin oppashigger...
The syntax for using new and delete is:
For single C data types and user defined types
pointer_var = new var_type;
delete pointer_var;
For arrays of C data types and user defined types
pointer_var = new var_type[arraysize];
delete [size] pointer_var;
I'll use a simple VGA buffer to explain new and delete.
Although I rarely see - delete [size] pointer_var - used, it is correct to specify the size rather than just using delete [] pointer_var. Newer compilers may substitute in the [size] portion for you - older compilers will flag an error if you just use []. The [size] portion informs delete the size of the memory object to delete - It already knows the type so you do not have to type cast for delete. It knows the size of the object, but it does not know how many objects are in the array - This is what the [size] portion tells delete. Remember the memory footprint is numobjects*sizeof(object) not just sizeof(object).Code:unsigned char *Screen=new unsigned char[64000]; delete [64000] Screen; //delete 64000 objects of type //unsigned char typedef unsigned char BYTE; BYTE *Screen=new BYTE[64000]; delete [64000] Screen; //delete 64000 objects of type BYTE
Remember that because of the way that memory allocation is managed with new you can only use delete to free up memory if you used new to allocate it. Very important.
Both allocate memory from the heap, both return null on failure. But, new does a couple more things than malloc() does.
- New automatically computes the size of the type being allocated. You do not have to use the sizeof operator. This prevents the wrong amount of memory from being accidentally allocated.
- New automatically returns the correct pointer type so you don't have to use a type cast.
- It is possible to initialize and object by using new. For instance - int *myint; myint=new int(1000); This will initialize myint with the value of 1000. You cannot initialize arrays with new, however.
- It is possible to overload new and delete relative to a class.
New calls the constructor for the object you wish to create if you are creating a class object. Delete will call the class's destructor. Very nice way to handle memory as it relates to objects and classes. However note that if you have any classes that have virtual functions or are using derived types then you will be using late binding and your program will run a bit slower than if you used early binding. From my book it does not seem to me that using new and delete is any slower than using the *alloc(s). Speed as it relates to objects is based on early and late binding and which one of them you are using. The speed hit is negligible on today's systems so using virtual functions or derived types is not a bad idea. It allows your program greater functionality and allows you to create one interface to do multiple things.
The beauty of new and delete is that you can create arrays of objects and delete them correctly since it already knows the size and type of the object. Notice that I said the size of the object. If you have an array of objects, you should specify the array size or number of elements in the delete operator using delete [size] objectpointer.
This could have just as easily been done if vertex was a class.Code:struct vertex { double x; double y; double z; void Test(void); }; //Array example vertex *MyVertexes=new vertex[10]; delete [10] MyVertexes; //Non-array example vertex *MySingleVertex=new vertex; delete MySingleVertex; //not an array of vertexes
Overloading new and delete
To overload new and delete:
void *operator new(size_t size)
//allocate here
return pointer_to_mem;
void *operator delete(void *mem)
//free memory pointed to by *mem
size_t is an integer type. These (new and delete) can be overloaded globally or relative to one or more classes. This can become confusing just remember that when you use new and delete with an object that is controlled by a class that has overloaded new and delete, the class's version of new and delete will be used, just like when overloading unary operators.
About cout and other I/O functions
C++'s I/O system is rather large so I could not explain every facet of it here. My book has an entire chapter devoted to it so I'm going to even try to explain it here. Look on some websites about C++ I/O system or get a book by Herbert Schildt or Bjarne Strousop. With C++ I/O system it is possible to stream objects to disk and restore them later - this is helpful in Windows when saving or preserving the current desktop state. It allows you to create a persistent desktop. The I/O system is very powerful and very useful.
AFAIK the C++ standard just requires the use of the [] operator for deletion of arrays and not delete [size]. The system will maintain information about the size of the memory allocated, so it knows how much to delete (as it does using free()) and the operator [] is needed to ensure multiple destructors are called.Although I rarely see - delete [size] pointer_var - used, it is correct to specify the size rather than just using delete [] pointer_var. Newer compilers may substitute in the [size] portion for you - older compilers will flag an error if you just use []. The [size] portion informs delete the size of the memory object to delete - It already knows the type so you do not have to type cast for delete.
Also most new and delete implementations seem to call malloc() and free() and so are only really needed for the automatic calling of constructors and destructors.
Yes, new does use malloc but it is eaiser to use new with objects than always allocating numobjects*sizeof(objects). Also like you said it is vital to use new and delete when it comes to classes, ctors, and dtors. If you type in delete [] in older compilers it will say operand expected in .... You must use delete [size] pointer_var or it will not work. My Borland C++ 4.52 does accept delete [] or delete [size].
hey thanks a lot bubba... and zen too! you guys really help me out! thanks...

In the examples below we'll use sample.journal, which has the following account tree: @ assets bank checking saving cash expenses food supplies income gifts salary liabilities debts @ The balance command shows accounts with their aggregate balances. Subaccounts are displayed indented below their parent. Each balance is the sum of any transactions in that account plus any balances from subaccounts: @ $ hledger -f sample.journal balance $-1 assets $1 bank:saving $-2 cash $2 expenses $1 food $1 supplies $-2 income $-1 gifts $-1 salary $1 liabilities:debts @ Usually, the non-interesting accounts are elided or omitted. Above, @checking@ is omitted because it has no subaccounts and a zero balance. @bank@ is elided because it has only a single displayed subaccount (@saving@) and it would be showing the same balance as that ($1). Ditto for @liabilities@. We will return to this in a moment. The --depth argument can be used to limit the depth of the balance report. So, to see just the top level accounts: @ $ hledger -f sample.journal balance --depth 1 $-1 assets $2 expenses $-2 income $1 liabilities @ This time liabilities has no displayed subaccounts (due to --depth) and is not elided. With one or more account pattern arguments, the balance command shows accounts whose name matches one of the patterns, plus their parents (elided) and subaccounts. So with the pattern o we get: @ $ hledger -f sample.journal balance o $1 expenses:food $-2 income $-1 gifts $-1 salary -------------------- $-1 @ The o pattern matched @food@ and @income@, so they are shown.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- The war of words between State Senator Greg Ball and Assemblyman Steve Katz is continuing.
Ball, through his lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, sent Katz a letter threatening him with a lawsuit if he continues to imply Ball is under investigation for misusing campaign funds.
On Thursday, while announcing his re-election bid for the 94th district, Katz, according to News 12, said Ball was under investigation by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara for abusing campaign funds, per a follow-up to an investigation by the Moreland Commission.
Ball has denied the allegations. On Friday, Ball announced he would not seek re-election and would return to the private sector.
In the letter, Tacopina lashed out at Katz, calling his comments "scurrilous."
"If you again make any such defamatory comments against Senator Ball, you will be answering for them in a courtroom," Tacopina wrote. "This is a legal battle in which you do not want to engage, as it will make the ordeal of your marijuana arrest pale in comparison."
Katz was arrested last year and charged with marijuana possession. The charges were dropped in exchange for him performing 20 hours of community service.
The assemblyman has become an advocate for marijuana since his arrest and is hoping to get medical marijuana legalized in New York. Ball opposes medical marijuana.
The letter refers to Katz's conduct as intentionally malicious and that punitive and compensatory damages would be sought if he spoke out again.
"Sen. Ball has faithfully dedicated himself to the well-being of his constituency for many years, and we will not permit you to smear his good name with impunity," Tacopina wrote.
Tacopina has previously represented Alex Rodriguez, Lilo Bracanto and Michael Jackson, among other high-profile clients.
Ball and Katz were previously allies, but in 2012 Katz announced he would primary Ball for his senate seat. Katz later declined to run.
Katz said that his statement was public knowledge and had been reported in the press.
"If Senator Ball is angry about this story, he and Mr. Tacopina should direct their letters to the New York Post, City and State, Daily News, et al and not to me," Katz said.
Ball represents District 40, which includes Cortlandt, Peekskill, Mount Kisco, New Castle, Lewisboro, Pound Ridge, North Salem, Somers and Yorktown in Westchester as well as three towns in Putnam County.

|MySQL Community Server 5.1.68 has been released
|View as plain text
Dear MySQL users, MySQL Server 5.1.68, a new version of the popular Open Source Database Management System, has been released. MySQL 5.1.68 is recommended for use on production systems. For an overview of what's new in MySQL 5.1, please see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql-nutshell.html For information on installing MySQL 5.1.68 on new servers or upgrading to MySQL 5.1.68 from previous MySQL releases, please see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/installing.html MySQL Server is available in source and binary form for a number of platforms from our download pages at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ Not all mirror sites may be up to date at this point in time, so if you can't find this version on some mirror, please try again later or choose another download site. The following section lists the changes in the MySQL source code since the previous released version of MySQL 5.1. It may also be viewed online at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.1/en/news-5-1-68.html Enjoy! ======================================================================= Changes in MySQL 5.1.68 (5 February, 2013) Bugs Fixed * Performance: InnoDB: Optimized read operations for compressed (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/glossary.html#glos_com pression) tables by skipping redundant tests. The check for whether any related changes needed to be merged from the insert buffer (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/glossary.html#glos_ins ert_buffer) was being called more often than necessary. (Bug #14329288, Bug #65886) * Performance: InnoDB: Immediately after a table was created, queries against it would not use loose index scans (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/group-by-optimization. html#loose-index-scan). The issue went away following an ALTER TABLE on the table. The fix improves the accuracy of the index statistics (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/glossary.html#glos_ind ex_statistics) gathered when the table is first created. (Bug #14200010) * Partitioning: InnoDB: Previously, when attempting to optimize one or more partitions of a partitioned table that used a storage engine that does not support partition-level OPTIMIZE, such as InnoDB, MySQL reported Table does not support optimize, doing recreate + analyze instead, then re-created the entire table, but did not actually analyze it. Now in such cases, the warning message is, Table does not support optimize on partitions. All partitions will be rebuilt and analyzed. In addition, the entire table is analyzed after first being rebuilt. (Bug #11751825) * InnoDB: The status variable Innodb_buffer_pool_read_ahead_evicted could show an inaccurate value, higher than expected, because some pages in the buffer pool (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/glossary.html#glos_buf fer_pool) were incorrectly considered as being brought in by read-ahead (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/glossary.html#glos_rea d_ahead) requests. (Bug #15859402, Bug #67476) * InnoDB: Creating an index on a CHAR column could fail for a table with a character set with varying length, such as UTF-8, if the table was created with the ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT clause. (Bug #15874001) * InnoDB: If the server crashed at a precise moment during an ALTER TABLE operation that rebuilt the clustered index (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/glossary.html#glos_clu stered_index) for an InnoDB table, the original table could be inaccessible afterward. An example of such an operation is ALTER TABLE ... ADD PRIMARY KEY The fix preserves the original table if the server halts during this operation. You might still need to rename the .ibd file manually to restore the original table contents: in MySQL 5.6 and higher, rename from #sql-ib$new_table_id.ibd to table_name.ibd within the database directory; prior to MySQL 5.6, the temporary file to rename is table_name#1 or #2. (Bug #14669848) * InnoDB: An error at the filesystem level, such as too many open files, could cause an unhandled error during an ALTER TABLE operation. The error could be accompanied by Valgrind warnings, and by this assertion message: Assertion `! is_set()' failed. mysqld got signal 6 ; (Bug #14628410, Bug #16000909) * InnoDB: During shutdown, with the innodb_purge_threads configuration option set greater than 1, the server could halt prematurely with this error: mysqld got signal 11 A workaround was to increase innodb_log_file_size and set innodb_purge_threads=1. The fix was backported to MySQL 5.5 and 5.1, although those versions do not have the innodb_purge_threads configuration option so the error was unlikely to occur. (Bug #14234028) * InnoDB: The value of the innodb_version variable was not updated consistently for all server releases for the InnoDB Plugin in MySQL 5.1, and the integrated InnoDB component in MySQL 5.5, 5.6, and higher. Since InnoDB and MySQL Server development cycles are fully integrated and synchronized, now the value returned by the innodb_version variable is the same as for the version variable. (Bug #13463493, Bug #63435) * Partitioning: When used with a table having multiple columns in its primary key, but partitioned by KEY using a column that was not part of the primary key as the partitioning column, a query using an aggregate function and DISTINCT such as SELECT SUM(DISTINCT pk_column_1) FROM table WHERE pk_column_2 = constant was not handled correctly. (Bug #14845133) References: See also Bug #14495351. This bug was introduced by Bug #13025132. * Replication: Repeated execution of CHANGE MASTER TO statements using invalid MASTER_LOG_POS values could lead to errors and possibly a crash on the slave. Now in such cases, the statement fails with a clear error message. (Bug #11764602, Bug #57454) * Replication: If the disk becomes full while writing to the binary log, the server hangs until space is freed up manually. It was possible after was done for the MySQL server to fail, due to an internal status value being set when not needed. Now in such cases, rather than trying to set this status, a warning is written in the error log instead. (Bug #11753923, Bug #45449) * Microsoft Windows: Dynamic file names (with colons) are no longer allowed. Static file names using the Alternate Data Stream (ADS) NTFS functionality of Microsoft Windows may continue to be used. (Bug #11761752) * It was possible in theory for UpdateXML() to return NULL incorrectly. (Bug #15948580) References: See also Bug #13007062. * For MEMORY tables with HASH indexes, DELETE sometimes failed to delete all applicable rows. (Bug #51763, Bug #11759445) Thanks, On behalf of the MySQL/ORACLE Build Team Hery Ramilison

Finding Fido: Gadgets That Keep Track of Your Pets
A new breed of gadgets helps pet owners track their wayward pals.
It's simple and painless — and best for indoor dogs that often go collarless. Your vet injects a tiny computer chip (the size of a grain of rice) under the animal's skin between the shoulder blades. Along with your contact info, the chip's number is added to a database accessible to animal hospitals, shelters, and humane societies. Since the chip can't get lost or damaged, it lasts for a pet's lifetime. Ask your vet for info or go to homeagainid.com.
Pros: An affordable, permanent way to identify your pet.Cons: The procedure must be performed by a vet. Plus, the animal, once found, has to be picked up by a vet or shelter with an ID scanner.Cost: $25 to $40
Radio transmitter collars are great for energetic and outdoor dogs that love to roam. They come in several sizes with a corresponding receiver. Point the receiver in any direction; it will beep if your pet is nearby. (Think of the childhood game Marco, Polo.) Most devices can send and receive signals within 1 to 4 miles, depending on terrain and physical obstacles. Try Pettrax or Innotek collars, available at your local pet store.
Pros: Noninvasive; most radios include an accuracy guarantee and extended warranty.Cons: Pet must be wearing the collar to be located.Cost: from $130
Global Positioning System (GPS)
Log on to globalpetfinder.com to build virtual fences where your pet can wander. Your customized boundaries are automatically downloaded to the tracking device, so if your pet goes outside the designated area, you will be alerted via cell phone, PDA, or computer. You can also dial the word "found" from your phone to get your animal's current location.
Pros: GPS allows for 24/7 monitoring and can alert you if your pet is in dangerously hot or cold temperatures.Cons: Not all Internet service providers offer coverage (call yours to check). Requires a 2-way wireless device like a cell phone, PDA, or Internet, as well as a 1-year minimum subscription.Cost: $290 gets you Global PetFinder service, a snap guard that attaches the device to your pet's collar, batteries, and a charger. There's also a one-time activation fee of $34.99; monthly plans from $18.
Here Kitty, Kitty
Cats are much less likely than dogs to be tagged — and only 3 percent of wayward felines are reunited with their owners, according to the Humane Society. To keep yours safe:
- Build or purchase an outdoor enclosure to prevent active cats from wandering off.
- If you move, keep your outdoor cat inside for at least four weeks, so he doesn't get disoriented. Supervise him outside for five minutes a day, gradually increasing the time until he becomes familiar with his new surroundings.
- Transport your cat in a closed carrier; she is less likely to try to escape. Never leave your cat unattended in a car.
- All cats — even indoor ones — should wear a collar with your name and phone number.
On the Run
Best ways to prevent pets from hightailing it out of here:
- Sudden noises: Scaredy-cats (and dogs) will run for cover when they hear thunder or fireworks, so keep them inside or on a leash during storms or on the Fourth of July.
- Heat is on: Get pets neutered or spayed to prevent them from looking for love.
- Missing you: Pets can feel disoriented without their owners, making them more likely to wander off. Make sure your animal feels comfortable around your pet sitter.

Statements on Auditing Procedure December 1941 No. 9 • Issued by the Accountants' Reports on Ex-aminations of Securities and Similar Investments under the Investment Company Act Committee on Auditing Procedure, American Institute of Accountants, 13 East 41st Street, New York, N. Y. Copyright 1942 by American Institute of Accountants THE SECURITIES and Exchange Commission has issued Release No. 27 in its Accounting Series containing an opinion by the chief account-ant as to the nature of the examination and the report by the independent public accountants required by paragraph (4) of rule N-17F-1 and by paragraph (7) of rule N-17F-2 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940. A copy of this release is appended hereto for convenient reference. Attention is directed to the chief accountant's interpretation of the requirements of rule N-17F-2 for a "complete examination" of the securities and similar investments. It will be noted that attention is called to the necessity, in addition to making physical examination or confirmation of the securities and reconciling them with the books, of making "an appropriate examination of the investment accounts and supporting records, including an adequate check or analysis of the security transactions since the last examination and the entries per-taining thereto." What constitutes an "appropriate examination" and "an adequate check or analysis" will, as in almost all cases involving the extent of auditing procedures, vary with the circumstances of the particular situation. The examination required by the rule is a partial one, re-lating solely to the securities and similar investments. While it cannot be expected to be as conclusive as a more extended examination, there may be cases where the accountant will consider that an adequate examination of the investments necessitates an examination of the intervening cash transactions and confirmation of the bank balances at the date as of which the securities and investments are inspected. Circumstances which would be controlling might be the period which had elapsed since the last examination, the activity of the portfolio, the frequency with which regular examinations of the accounts are made and the degree of effectiveness of the bookkeeping methods of the com-pany as observed by the accountant during previous examinations. The release sets forth the requirements for the accountant's report, and for the assistance of practicing accountants the committee has 59

It is a fitting song in so many ways. I watched a documentary a couple years back called "Young at Heart" about a group of elderly people singing everything from the Talking Heads to Sonic Youth often giving the worlds unique meanings.
At the end a sweet man sings this song and it has follwed me since.
Try to see it if you can.

A 12-year-old from Stamford was arrested on Tuesday after police say she continually bullied, taunted and harassed a 13-year-old classmate while at school.
Police said the victim's parents contacted the department to report the bullying on Sept. 20. Both students attend a private middle school.
The bullying started at the beginning of the school year, according to police.

It intensified while police and school administrators investigated, pushing the victim to make suicidal comments, police said.
Police said the 12-year-old was charged with disorderly conduct and was released to the custody of her parents.
"This behavior will not be tolerated by Stamford Police Department," said Capt. Richard Conklin and Lt. Diedrich Hohn, in a release. "If it is brought to our attention we will vigorously investigate the allegations and make arrests when appropriate. We investigate all claims of bullying and this type of behavior will not be condoned in a learning environment."

Krissy Nordhoff won a 2012 Dove Award for Worship Song of the Year for "Your Great Name."
She cowrote the song with Michael Neale after a two year journey of suffering from lyme disease.
"It was a debilitating disease. I suffered for two years," Nordhoff said. "Then I went to this healing service and the Lord touched me in a way that I had never been touched before. And I wanted to write a song about (God) that he is who he says he is. He showed me through his healing. And then I got stuck writing, so I brought the song to Michael and I'll let him explain."
Neale said he was writing at the piano with the "kids running around the music room and my wife came in the room and said, 'That's good. Keep writing.'"
So there's a little bit about "Your Great Name."

Earthwatch volunteers are helping preserve wildlife in Mongolia's Ikh Nart Nature Reserve. This magnificent Mongolian steppe region of grasslands and rocky outcrops is one of the best hopes for central Asian wildlife.
The reserve was established in 1996 to protect the flowing springs and habitat used by the region's people, wildlife and livestock. Its resources make it a stronghold for the near-threatened argali sheep – the world's largest mountain sheep – as well as kestrel, cinereous vulture, and other threatened animals across their range. Rapidly expanding human and livestock populations are increasing pressure on these resources. The rising demand from surrounding countries for animal meat and for body parts for use in traditional medicine, along with poaching, threatens the survival of the rich Mongolian wildlife.
Volunteers and Earthwatch scientists are working to preserve wildlife in Mongolia's Ikh Nart Nature Reserve.
Mongolia's Ikh Nart Nature Reserve was established in 1996 to protect the flowing springs and habitat used by the Argali Sheep.
Since 2003, Earthwatch volunteers have helped Dr. Richard Reading and Ganchimeg Wingard study the ecology and biology of the area's wildlife. These researchers are working to develop long-term conservation management plans for individual species as well as for Ikh Nart, aiming to ensure the long-term health of the environment and lasting public support for its conservation management.
Teams of Earthwatch volunteers capture and mark individuals of argali sheep, ibex, vultures, and small mammals. They locate nesting sites of lesser kestrels, cinereous vultures, and other raptors; collect vegetation data; conduct lizard surveys; collect behavioral data on animals; and use radiotelemetry tracking to understand how the habitat is changing and how people and animals use the land.
The project has enjoyed several excellent developments over the years. In 2009, the U.N. Development Programme selected the Ikh Nart Nature Reserve as a model for other protected areas in Mongolia to emulate. Of all the protected areas they evaluated, Ikh Nart received the highest score for conservation management.
Work here also led directly to Ikh Nart's designation as an Important Bird Area in Mongolia, helping protect the lesser kestrel and cinereous vulture.
Ikh Nart is extremely rich in cultural resources, so in 2010 Dr. Reading and Earthwatch began a study examining the cultural and archaeological aspects of the region to ensure a truly holistic approach to managing the reserve.
In 2011, local administrations established a protected area surrounding the southern portion of Ikh Nart Nature Reserve. This expansion includes ecologically important areas, identified by Earthwatch scientists, which contain important nesting habitat for raptorial birds and support argali sheep.
In 2012, Ganchimeg Wingard and her team were invited to develop management guidelines for mountain ungulates in Central Asia.
The work has stimulated active management by the local area's authorities, including the creation of a protected areas office, ecotourism development to help pay for the costs of managing the park, and an active education program..
In fact, education is playing a key role in cultural change around the reserve. Earthwatch scientists have discovered that poaching of small carnivores for their fur and body parts poses a serious threat to the reserve's species and are consequently developing antipoaching and educational measures. Illegal mining has destroyed habitat in Ikh Nart, so the team has been working over the past few years to halt this threat – with increasing success. Recently the team discovered that some pastoralists view vultures as a threat to livestock, confusing predation by eagles on lambs and kids with the vital role that vultures play in cleaning up carcasses. The team plans to begin work on mitigating this threat as well.
The project has inspired several requests to start similar efforts in other protected areas of Mongolia. A recent example saw these Earthwatch scientists helping managers and rangers from the Gün Galuut Nature Reserve establish their own conservation, management, and research program.
The Lesser Kestrel is a small falcon on the reserve within the Important Bird Area.
A Vulture takes flight at the Ikh Nart Nature Reserve in Mongolia.
"Support from Earthwatch has continued to play a vital role in our ability to conduct our work and bring the many successes we have achieved to date."

As shines the moon in clouded skies,She in her poor attire was seen;One praised her ankles, one her eyes,One her dark hair and lovesome mien.So sweet a face, such angel grace,In all that land had never been.Cophetua sware a royal oath:'This beggar maid shall be my queen!'

Manny Pacquiao crushes Miguel Cotto
Nov 14th
LAS VEGAS (AP)—Manny Pacquiao put on yet another dominating performance Saturday night, knocking down Miguel Cotto twice and turning his face into a bloody mess before finally stopping him 55 seconds into the 12th round.
Pacquiao used his blazing speed and power from both hands to win his seventh title in seven weight classes and cement his stature as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Cotto took such a beating that his face was a river of red from the fury of Pacquiao's punches.
Pacquiao dropped Cotto with a right hand early in the third round, but he wasn't badly hurt and came back to finish the round strong. But after Pacquiao put Cotto on the canvas with a big left hand as Cotto was advancing forward late in the fourth round, Cotto was never the same again.
Cotto fought gamely but in the later rounds he was just trying to survive as blood flowed down his face and Pacquiao kept coming after him relentlessly.

Just before winter's encore last week Chestnut Hill Academy enjoyed a pleasant Tuesday afternoon for its lacrosse season opener, and the outcome of the game also put a smile on the Blue Devils' faces. Leading for most of the game, except for a brief stretch in the third quarter, CHA topped host Academy of the New Church, 9-6.
Sophomore Forrest Rall rang up a hat trick and there were two goals apiece by freshman Jackson Kleintz (one assist) and sophomore Clint Sanders for the winners. Junior Kyle Espenshade and sophomore Evan Fireman each recorded one goal and one assist for the Devils, who got 10 saves from their seasoned senior goalie, Corbin Booker.
The ANC Lions, also making their official season debut, marked down two goals apiece from Reece Ayers and Luke Frazier, and 12 saves in the nets from keeper Kelvin Ayers.
"I think we're more experienced this year than we were last year, and we had a good team effort today," said second-year head coach Mike DelGrande, who graduated only three members of his 2010 squad. "We've been talking to these guys about the need to step up our level of play. We've got a lot of guys back and other guys who are learning to take on starting roles."
Last Tuesday, Chestnut Hill grabbed a 3-0 lead in a two-minute span, opening up with a shot from the top of the offense by Kleintz with 5:51 remaining in the opening quarter. The Devils then took advantage of a two-minute, non-releasable penalty against ANC (which much be served in full even if the other team scores).
Sanders whipped in a shot from the outside, then Fireman (who assisted on CHA's first goal) took a pass from Espenshade and beat Ayers from a few yards off the right post. ANC scored in transition before the period was over, and then cut the lead to 3-2 in the middle of the second quarter.
The scoring pace slowed for CHA, even though the visitors continued to dominate the face-offs and logged a lot of ball possession. Rall traded goals with ANC's Colton Doering to arrive at a 4-3 halftime score.
"We came out strong, but when they threw the zone [defense] against us it kind of threw off our guys," DelGrande observed. "We recovered from that and I was pleased with our effort in the second half, when we came out ready to play offensively and defensively."
The coach noted that the team's defensive mainstays include, "Corbin in the goal, Matt Rubin, who is our other senior captain, and Jamie Hearn, our junior long-stick middie."
The 4-3 halftime tally stayed on the board five minutes into the third quarter, then back-to-back goals by ANC's Frazier gave the Lions their only lead of the day, at 5-4 with just under five minutes remaining in the period. The hosts' advantage didn't last long, as markers by Kleintz (at 3:22) and Rall (2:48) moved the Devils ahead again, 6-5, for the start of the final period.
"Last year we were up on these guys 4-1 at our place," DelGrande recounted, "and they came back and won, 6-4. I think our guys remembered that, so when we got down by a goal, they responded well, and that was important."
While Booker turned aside shots that might have given ANC a spark in a comeback attempt, Espenshade, Sanders, and Rall each scored in the first six minutes of the final quarter, making it 9-5. Just as a penalty on CHA expired with a little over two minutes to go, ANC's Reece Ayers cashed in for the Lions to put the final score on the board.

KaloBios Initiates Phase 2 Study with KB001-A Humaneered® Monoclonal Antibody in Cystic Fibrosis Patients
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. today announced that dosing has begun in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial of KB001-A, the company's anti-PcrV Humaneered®, PEGylated monoclonal antibody fragment. The study will investigate the safety and efficacy of intravenously administered KB001-A as a treatment for chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) infection in cystic fibrosis patients.
The Phase 2 study is being conducted in the United States at multiple centers and is designed to enroll 180 patients who will receive repeated doses of KB001-A over a 16-week period. The primary endpoint of the study will be time to need for antibiotics to treat worsening of respiratory tract signs and symptoms. Secondary endpoints will include changes in inflammatory markers, respiratory symptoms, subject-reported outcomes, measurements of lung function, pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability. This study is designed to expand upon the positive Phase l/2 results in cystic fibrosis patients with the precursor compound KB001. KaloBios expects to complete the study of KB001-A and announce results by mid-2014.
"Cystic fibrosis patients are subject to chronic lung infections with Pa, a gram negative bacteria which is a leading contributor to the deterioration of pulmonary function leading to respiratory failure," said Nestor A. Molfino , M.D., KaloBios' Chief Medical Officer. "The only currently approved treatments for Pa infections are antibiotics, but despite their therapeutic benefit, mortality and morbidity remain high due to Pa antibiotic resistance. KB001-A is designed to neutralize Pa pathogenicity which reduces inflammation and allows the body's natural immune system to kill and clear the bacteria. As a result, we believe KB001-A may offer a novel approach to preventing and treating Pa infections when added to antibiotics, and may not be subject to the typical drug resistance mechanisms."
"KB001-A is our second drug in a Phase 2 clinical trial," said David Pritchard , KaloBios' Chief Executive Officer. "We plan to use data from this Phase 2 study of intravenous KB001-A, if positive, to support pivotal trials of a subcutaneous formulation of KB001-A."
About KaloBios
KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is developing a portfolio of proprietary, patient-targeted, first-in-class monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) designed to significantly improve the lives of seriously ill patients with difficult-to-treat diseases.
Currently, KaloBios has three drug development programs:
KB001-A, an anti-PcrV mAb fragment, is partnered exclusively with Sanofi Pasteur and is being developed for the prevention and treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) infection. KaloBios has retained rights for the cystic fibrosis (CF) indication and has initiated a 180 patient Phase 2 study in CF subjects with chronic Pa infection in the United States. Sanofi is pursuing a ventilator associated pneumonia prevention indication in the intensive care setting.
KB003, an anti-GM-CSF mAb with potential to treat inflammatory diseases, is being developed for the treatment of severe asthma and is currently enrolling patients in a 150 patient Phase 2 study in the United States, Europe and Australia.
KB004, an anti-EphA3 mAb, has potential in treating hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. KaloBios is currently testing this drug in a Phase 1 study in subjects with hematologic malignancies.
All of the company's antibodies were generated using its proprietary Humaneered® technology, a method that converts nonhuman antibodies (typically mouse) into recombinant antibodies that have a high binding affinity to their target and are designed for chronic therapeutic use. The company believes that antibodies produced using its Humaneered® technology offer important clinical and economic advantages over antibodies generated by other methods in terms of high binding affinity, high manufacturing yields, and minimal to no immunogenicity (inappropriate immune response) upon repeat administration in humans.

Step 1Heat the broiler or prepare the grill with medium-hot coals.
Step 2Prick the eggplants deeply 5 or 6 times with a fork. Set the eggplants and chiles on a slotted broiler pan or in a roasting pan, lined with foil if you like, or on the grill. Broil or grill, turning the chiles often and turning the eggplants a few times, until the chiles are charred on all surfaces, about 7 to 12 minutes, and the eggplants are very tender, about 20 minutes. The eggplants should look collapsed, and their skins should be charred; check for tenderness by pressing on the neck end, or pierce it with a fork -- it should go in very easily.
Step 3Remove the chiles and eggplants from the oven or grill. If you have broiled the chiles on foil, enclose them in the foil; otherwise put the chiles in a bowl and cover, or put them in a plastic or paper bag and close the bag. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then peel with the aid of a paring knife. Cut the chiles in half, draining off any liquid. Discard the caps and remove the seeds. Cut the chiles into a small dice.
Step 4Cut off the eggplant caps. Halve the eggplants lengthwise. Scoop and scrape out the eggplant pulp from inside the skin. Put the eggplant in a colander and set aside for about 5 minutes to drain off liquid. Chop the eggplant pulp finely using a knife; you should have about 2 cups of pulp.
Step 5Transfer the eggplant to a medium bowl. Add the garlic and mix well.
Step 66. Spoon the tahini paste into a small bowl. Stir in the yogurt and mix gently. Stir in the lemon juice and mix until smooth.
Step 7Add the tahini mixture to the eggplant and mix well. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. If you like, stir in more tahini, yogurt or lemon juice.
Step 8Taste the diced chiles; the degree of heat in these chiles varies greatly. If they are mild, stir them into the eggplant mixture. If they are hot, add as much of them as you like. Taste and adjust seasoning. Refrigerate the dip for 1 to 2 hours to marry the flavors.
Step 9At serving time, spread the eggplant mixture in a thick layer on a platter or plate, making the edges slightly thicker than the center. Spoon part of the red pepper relish in the center and the rest into a small cup.
Step 10Drizzle the dip lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle the dip decoratively with parsley and Aleppo pepper.

Game studio Insomniac Games has created a slew of exclusive titles for the PlayStation platform. Franchises like Ratchet & Clank and Resistance are PlayStation hallmarks. The day of Insomniac making only PS games are over.
Earlier this year, Insomniac struck a partnership with Electronic Arts to make a new franchise for both the PS3 and the Xbox 360. What does Shuhei Yoshida, the head of Sony Worldwide Studios, think?
"We grew up together," Yoshida tells Develop magazine. "Insomniac's first tile was on our first platform." Insomniac Games was founded in 1994, and its first title was a first-person shooter called Disruptor for the PlayStation.
According to Yoshida, Insomniac was "very open" with Sony about its desire to expand its wings.
"They want to reach the people they haven't been able to," he added, "so it was sad to hear a couple of years ago what their intent was, but as we are growing, Insomniac is growing too." The studio is hiring to expand its development staff.
"And the studio has its own ambition, so I totally understand," says Yoshida, "and I am very happy how they approached the announcement. They made sure that people know they are still working with us."
"When you think about it, Insomniac is making multiplatform games," he adds. "So PS3 owners should be happy because they are getting more Insomniac games as the studio hires more staff to develop more games." Yoshida's right: this is win-win for everyone.

Fetuses may be able to feel pain as early as eighteen weeks, claims a story in Sunday's New York Times Magazine. (Also in the weekend's Times: a review of a book that makes the scientific argument that life begins at conception. Fun!) So anyway, the story explores the highly-specialized world of fetal surgery, a world rife with tales of 23-week old fetuses flinching and recoiling at the touch of surgeons' scalpels, and in which it has now become common practice to offer fetuses anesthesia, in part as the result of new research that shows that fetuses as young as 18 weeks would show a massive flood of stress hormones when undergoing fetal procedures sans anesthesia. The story is an interesting reexamination of the long-accepted notion that fetuses feel no pain, and the attendant controversy surrounding the ramifications on a thorny little political debate known as the "abortion issue." And as with all stories that dare to go beyond the black/white of the life begins at conception/birth debate, I found it illuminating. But even if you buy the doctors' assertions, only about 5% of the country's abortions are conducted on fetuses that feel pain.
Meanwhile, the vast preponderance of abortions are conducted in the first half of the first trimester of pregnancy, increasingly by women who forego any sort of anesthesia so as to carry about their abortions at home with the help of some pills. And, guess what, it hurts!
Soooo, recently I found myself researching the pain involved in pill abortions, namely because a friend of mine had told me that most purveyors of the pills don't prescribe the FDA-recommended regimen of 600 mgs of RU-486 followed by an optional few hundred mgs of something called misoprostol a few days later, because they had found a new regimen — of 200 mgs of RU-486 plus 600 mgs misoprostol all at once — that was "more effective." This friend had also found the new regimen to be really really painful. But when I started researching the differences between the two pharmaceutical cocktails, I found a lot of evidence that the new regimen was a lot cheaper, and numerous studies claiming it was just as effective, but nothing about the pain.
Jesus Shit! I thought. There are motherfucking studies about the responses of women on birth control to porn, there are studies on the impact of videogames on navigational skills, there are probably studies on the prenatal effects of playing video games during the third trimester, and there are no studies about abortion and pain? Is it too late to sign up for that whole "woman president" thing?

This is how I feel today. Well, a mix between Pigpen and Grumpy the Dwarf. (Pic from here)
I really need to wash my hair today. Jordan turned the alarm off in his sleep this morning and since our girls were spending the night with Grandma and Robert decided to sleep in, I woke up and realized Jordan had about ten minutes to be at work. No shower for Mommy. AGAIN. Today is our chiropractor day so this dirty hair situation cannot wait for Jordan to get home and watch the kids. Robert is just going to have to sit in the bathroom floor. He'll probably whine and cry and see what he can find to put in his mouth. It sucks having to parent from the shower.
Is it too much to ask for a kid to just occasionally, say once or twice a week, eat what I make them without making faces or whining? I could easily feed them Easy Mac with a side of Oreos every meal, and I would be their hero. But we spend extra money and time and energy to make something that's good for them and they cut me to the quick with every nose crinkle. Jordan and I are exhausted from all the begging, pleading, negotiating.
I love Robert very much, but it would be super if he would let me put him down for a nap. I am constantly holding him, watching him like a hawk, or getting him out of trouble, and I've got things to do! Laundry. Dishes. Fixing dinner (ha, yeah right). Peeing even! He is driving me crazy.
TMI warning.
Here it comes. If you don't like reading about periods and stuff, be on your way...
Where the hell is my period?!? I had my first one postpartum a month ago, I'm not pregnant, and I just know it's going to show up right in time for our 10K. Not good.
There is more. Pollen that has kept me in the house with the windows closed and feeling snotty and horrible when I need to be taking the kids outside to play, getting them to playdates and things. Jordan and I haven't even run in forever and since we are at the end of training for a 10K it's a bad time to be skipping runs.
I've struggled over the past few weeks with a hopeless hamster wheel feeling. Never-ending laundry and dishes. Children who don't seem to notice or care about anything I do for them, except of course when I make something to eat that they don't liiiiiike. The feeling that it is in poor taste to discuss this on my blog even though there is absolutely nowhere else to discuss it, except with a therapist but you have to pay for that. It's my blog so I'm going to talk about it.
It is so depressing and soul-sucking doing laundry, dishes, and menial busywork of every sort all day long, having time for hardly anything else, having no one notice, and barely talking to another adult all day. Three little kids have a funny way of keeping you in your house. Even in the rare moments when most everything is done and the kids are happy, things seem so pointless and lonely I could cry. It makes me feel even worse when I see people post things on Facebook like "I <3 my BFF!" or "Had such a fantastic time today with all my AMAAAAZING friends!" It must just be me, then. Super.
I'm going now to move the stupid alarm clock to my side of the bed and get a decent shower even if Robert hollers at me the whole time.
