BAKER � Last weekend�s 24th annual Old Spanish Trail Rodeo seems to have been bigger and better than ever. More than 280 cowboys and cowgirls competed in the two-night event Friday and Saturday at the Barnhill Arena in Baker. Participants were competing for close to $31,000 in prize money.
BAKER � Last weekend�s 24th annual Old Spanish Trail Rodeo seems to have been bigger and better than ever.
More than 280 cowboys and cowgirls competed in the two-night event Friday and Saturday at the Barnhill Arena in Baker. Participants were competing for close to $31,000 in prize money.
Photo gallery >>> Action from the Old Spanish Trail Rodeo on Saturday.
Trish Lynn and the All-American Cowgirl Chicks � who sang and showed off their trick riding skills � joined other cowboys and cowgirls for the fun.
Baker Area Recreation Association president Mark Todd said 2,200 fans attended Friday's event and close to 2,500 were at Saturday�s event.
This year's rodeo was the first with the Professional Cowboys Association and stock contractor the 5T Rodeo Company. Former Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association All-Around and Tie-Down Roper World Champion, Herbert Theriot, operates the 5T Rodeo Company.
Todd was more than pleased with the work of the PCA, Theriot and the 5T Rodeo Company.
"Not only were they prompt, but the stock has been uniform, and the stock has been of a level that the riders can work with it and yet still give them a challenge,� he said.
"That's important because you don't want to bring something out here that's so rank (mean) that guys can't ride them."
Theriot, who participated in the Old Spanish Trail Rodeo several years ago, said being a stock contractor can be more difficult, mentally and emotionally, than competing.
"I'm more nervous about an event like this than I ever was competing," he said. "We want to make sure we have the best stock that gives every cowboy an equal chance. We want to have as level a playing field as possible.
Theriot said he brought about80 headsof stock, ranging from bucking bulls and broncs, for the riding events, to steers for steer wrestling and calves for calf roping.
Joe Farren, a Cottondale resident who won the saddle bronc event with a score of 75.5, was back in Baker for the first time in a couple of years.
"I had been to Baker two years ago, when it was the Lone Star Rodeo, and now it's the PCA this year," he said. "This is an outstanding arena, with the facility they have here. They have a good stock contractor in Herbert Theriot, with 5T, who brings all the good stock.
"It's a really good rodeo. They add a thousand (dollars) here and all the cowboys come to this rodeo to win money."
Longtime Old Spanish Trail announcer Jim Poole returned, as did rodeo clown Rudy Burns, who entertained fans between events.
This was the second year the rodeo honored a Hometown Hero with an American flag.
Airman 1st Class Rayna Yamamoto was honored Friday night, and Staff Sgt. Kevin Parke was recognized Saturday night.
"It's really nice that they show their support to the military because the military is a big part of the community," Parke said.
"It's a great thing to come back home and get more support than you do in other areas."

Diwali hasn't been all that crackling for Bollywood. Of more than 30 films released in the past decade during the festival, less than a dozen elicited fireworks at the box office. But this year seems promising with "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" (JTHJ) and "Son Of Sardaar" (SOS) lined up to hit the screens Nov 13, Diwali day itself.
Both are biggies. JTHJ is Yash Chopra's last directorial venture, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma, while SOS is a comic caper with Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt and Sonakshi Sinha in key roles. Chopra's sudden death Oct 21, before he could can the last song for the film in the Swiss Alps, has generated more interest in JTHJ, expected to be the last reflection of his kind of romantic, sensitive and picture perfect cinema.
The film is expected to set the cash registers ringing -- given the past record of Shah Rukh's Diwali releases, including "Baazigar" (1993), "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" (1995), "Dil To Pagal Hai" (1997), "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" (1998), "Veer-Zaara" (2004), "Don: The Chase Begins Again" (2006) and "Om Shanti Om" (2007).
But those appeared to be the exceptions. Shah Rukh's "Mohabbatein" (2000) and mega-budget "RA.One" (2011), released around the festival, didn't quite ruffle up the ticket counters beyond the opening weekend.
All in all, Diwali hasn't brought much 'Lakshmi' to Hindi films, even if the festive season is considered to be a good time to release films, given the holiday mood. Some films indeed went on to be winners but most tanked at the box office.
Of the three films - "RA.One", "Tell Me O Kkhuda" and "Damadamm!" - released around Diwali last year, the latter two were hardly visible due to the extensive promotion of Shah Rukh's Rs.150 crore budget entertainer. If the first two bombed, even "RA.One" failed to generate the expected response.
In 2010, it was a clash of comedies - the multi-starrer "Golmaal 3" and Akshay Kumar-Aishwarya Rai's "Action Replayy". "Golmaal 3" took the lion's share, but the latter was a damp squib.
A year before that came three films - comedy "All The Best", underwater action drama "Blue" and Salman Khan-starrer "Main Aur Mrs. Khanna". Only "All The Best" managed a profit, the other two were doomed despite the hoopla.
Cut to 2008. Four movies - "Fashion", "Golmaal Returns", "Roadside Romeo" and "Heroes" - were in competition during the festival of lights. The success ratio was 50-50 at the box office with "Roadside Romeo" and "Heroes" turning turtle at the ticket window.
Two biggies clashed at the box office in 2007. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Saawariya", the much-awaited launch pad for two Kapoors - Ranbir and Sonam - released along with Farah Khan's "Om Shanti Om", which had the ever charming Shah Rukh with debutante Deepika Padukone. "Saawariya" sank without a trace. "Om Shanti Om", a typical Bollywood potboiler complete with the jazz, colour, dance and music, was a mega hit.
Ditto in 2006 when Shah Rukh-starrer "Don: The Chase Begins Again", a modern-day remake of Amitabh Bachchan's 1978 film "Don", released alongside Shirish Kunder's directorial debut "Jaan-E-Mann". Despite the presence of Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan and Preity Zinta, Kunder's ambitious project fell flat at the box office.
There were three Diwali releases in 2005 - "Garam Masala" "Kyon Ki..." and "Shaadi No. 1". Unfortunately, the last two got a cold shoulder from the moive buffs, making it a dull Diwali for investors and distributors.
Although SRK-starrer cross-border romance "Veer-Zaara" got thumbs up from critics when it released in 2004, the footfalls were not overwhelming and Ram Gopal Varma's "Naach" sank without a trace. "Aitraaz", a thriller from Abbas-Mustan's stable, which also came out at that time, was however a winner.
Box-office business was dull in the three years before that, thanks to films like "Pinjar", "Sssshhh" and "Raja Bhaiya" in 2003; "Jeena Sirf Merre Liye ", "Waah Tera Kya Kehna" and "Annarth" in 2002; and "Tera Mera Saath Rahen", "Deewanapan" and "Yeh Zindagi Ka Safar" in 2001.
Only "Pinjar" got critical acclaim. The rest came and went.

GETTYSBURG, Pa. - Gettysburg held Muhlenberg College to just 220 yards, including a mere 90 over the final three quarters, as the Bullets defeated the Mules 14-10 in a key Centennial Conference match-up at a sunny, wind-swept Shirk Field at Musselman Stadium.
The two teams entered the game locked in a three-way tie with Ursinus College for second place in the Centennial Conference standings. Gettysburg (4-2, 4-1 CC) now finds itself tied for second with only Ursinus, a 21-7 winner over Juniata College on Saturday. No. 16 Hopkins University defeated Dickinson College 47-6 Friday night to remain in first place by one game.
The Bullets, who entered the game leading Division III in total offense (552.4 ypg), won despite being held 162 yards and 33 points below their season totals. Gettysburg also entered the day ranked second in the nation in scoring (47.8 ppg).
Gettysburg trailed 10-0 after the first quarter but outscored the Mules 14-0 over the second and third quarters.
Sophomore receiver Aden Twer turned in another big performance, catching five passes for 132 yards and a pair of touchdowns –a 73-yarder and a go-ahead 19-yard grab. Twer, ranked 10th in Division III in receiving yards entering the game, has gone over 130 yards in four of his six games this season. He has now caught three go-ahead touchdown passes for the Bullets this season.
For the second game in a row senior cornerback Tyler Fasanella came up with a big defensive play in the clutch, intercepting a pass at the Muhlenberg-30 with 3:58 left. Gettysburg was then able to run out the remainder of the clock, getting a big fourth-down conversion on a 1-yard run from junior quarterback Kody Smith with less than two-and-a-half minutes to go.
Muhlenberg's 220 yards were the fewest gained by a Gettysburg opponent since, ironically, the Mules were held to the same amount in a 20-3 Bullet victory in 2009, and it was the fewest points scored by a Gettysburg opponent since a 34-3 win at Moravian College in 2009. In addition, the Mules were limited to just 102 yards rushing, the fewest by a Bullet opponent since Muhlenberg's 61 in 2009.
Gettysburg saw a pair of school and conference-record streaks come to a close. The Bullets had entered the game with a six-game streak of scoring 40 or more points and an eight-game string of 30-point games.
Senior quarterback Kyle Whitmoyer rushed for 80 yards on 12 carries for the Bullets while passing for 91 yards, completing 7-of-17 passes. Smith threw for 134 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 7-of-13 passing while junior tailback Ted Delia carried the ball 18 times for 61 yards, none bigger than his three-yard gain on a third-and-one that gave the Bullets a first down at the Muhlenberg-8 with a minute-and-a-half to go and the Mules out of timeouts.
Terrence Dandridge ran for 65 yards on 24 attempts for Muhlenberg (3-3, 3-2 CC) while Dan Deighan threw for 118 yards and one touchdown on 14-of-29 passing.
Junior linebacker Larry DelViscio made a game- and season-high 13 tackles, including 11 solo stops, for Gettysburg. Senior linebacker Marc Graziano added a career-high 11 stops.
After recovering a Gettysburg fumble on the game's opening drive, Muhlenberg scored on its first two possessions. Deighan hit Tyler George with a 24-yard touchdown pass with 9:40 left in the opening quarter, and after a Bullet three-and-out, Gregg Mercogliano booted a 44-yard field goal through gusting winds that made it 10-0 with 5:53 on the clock.
Gettysburg punted again before coming up with a big defensive stop. The Mules went for the touchdown on a fourth-and-goal from the 2-yard line, but for the second play in a row Deigan was brought down at the line of scrimmage by Graziano as the Bullets took over on downs.
It didn't take long for Gettysburg to march the 98 yards, as all but 25 came on one play. Smith found Twer streaking down the left sideline for a 73-yard touchdown pass to make it 10-7 with 14:35 to go in the first half.
The remainder of the quarter did not end well for the Bullets offensively, as the next five drives resulted in a fumble, two blocked field goals, an interception, and a punt. However, Gettysburg's defense forced five consecutive punts while holding the Mules to one first down.
The Bullets came within a yard shy of taking the lead into halftime. On Muhlenberg's final possession of the half, Deighan was intercepted by senior safety Joe Delaney, whose 28-yard return set up his team at the Mule-38 with 10 seconds left. After a 17-yard run by Whitmoyer, the Bullets spiked the ball with only seconds remaining. Whitmoyer then found senior wing John Pesce over the middle for a 25-yard gain; however, officials ruled that he was stopped inches shy of the goal line with the clock reading all zeros.
A mistake on the first drive of the second half nearly cost Muhlenberg, as a dropped snap by the punter gave the Bullets the ball as the Mule-22. But the on the next play, the Mules regained possession on a Gettysburg fumble.
Muhlenberg was forced to punt yet again on its second drive of the half, leading to a game-winning nine-play, 66-yard touchdown drive that culminated in Smith's 19-yard scoring strike to Twer. Senior Rob Pennella connected on his second extra point to set the final score with 6:15 left in the third quarter.
Gettysburg's defense did the rest, holding the Mules to 85 yards and four first downs on their final four drives.
In his first game at punter, freshman Freddy Caruso pinned Muhlenberg at its own 2-yard line with a 49-yard punt two plays before Fasanella's big interception.

As mentioned before I registered the surname TILLIN with the Guild of One Name Studies last Saturday at WDYTYA Live.
Tonight, I set up my profile page and you can see it here.
By setting up the page I realised that I need to approach the analysis from a more analytical point of view. For example, how many TILLIN families/individuals were in the 1841 census compared to the 1901 census? What data do I actually have? What locations in the country do the TILLINs seem to come from?
So, guess what I'm off to do now...

Her love for him has made her stronger! Seriously, ever since she's been with him, her powers awakened, her shield has become stronger, her healing powers have grown god like, and for all we know Tsubaki could be getting a major power up too! Her character had grown to a person who had placed her friends above everybody else. She cares for all of them and the reason why she wanted to get stronger was because she doesn't want to trouble anyone at all - not just Ichigo. Chapter 317 is evident of that!

Er... durka durka much?
Inoue compares herself to EVERYONE. Good example; During the S.S. arc, after the fight with the fat guy with the flying knives, she started feeling inferior when she noticed how much Ishida has improved over the short period of time, and began to question what she has been doing all this time.
Unless Ishida is actually Rukia, her inferiority complex existed for a long time. Growing up the way she did, can you blame her? Guess what kimosabi, being alone makes you weaker, killing her heart and going ronin won't make her stronger. I'm a true believer in, "when you have someone precious to you that you want to protect, you actually become stronger." and wouldn't you know it? thats basically the theme for Bleach, "To fight to protect."
Her insecurities does not stem from Ichigo, her upbringing and experiences in life are responsible for that. To say that because she's in love is whats making her weak is pure ignorance. Even if it wasn't Ichigo that she had fallen in love with, she'll still face with the same issues. In love or not, she'll continuely question her self worth in combat. Its something that exists within her.
Not every problem can be handled on your own. To have someone that can share that burden, trust, and reliance is very important to psychological stability. Unfortunately she can't turn to Tatsuki about this, as she's clueless (more or less) about the "other world". Having a friend who you can turn to is great, but its doubly great if its your lover. As there are things he/she can do that a friend cannot.

Ishida likes her and has supported her through Soul Society. Rukia may not love Orihime and be her lover but she can support her.
Five friends are enough to have support from.
Orihime has no support is not true.
Even if Hime knows more, that's because Tatsuki told her. How does that make Ichigo and Orihime bond different, I've no idea.

Im gonna disagree with you on that one. When her powers awakened she barely had much contact with him besides in school and it wasnt love that awakened her powers because they werent actualy close friends at that point she was a girl that was friends with tatsuki. it was simply ichigo's overflowing reiatsu. Before she let her feelings known so to speak she was alot more confident in herself and actually did fight but after her feelings for ichigo developed she only got weaker and her confidence went down even more. She was always focusing more on ichigo than herself which is why i still say That having feelings for him is only making her weak.

Also, Kubo has been extremely vague about how Inoue got her powers, beyond Ichigo being responsible for awakening.
I'll do you a little favor and clarify alittle on what FF was talking about. Go back and re-read when Kenpachi and the pinkhaired munchkin came to Ichigo's and Inoue's rescue against Espada 5.

Inoue became stronger after training with Rukia. Right now her rejecting abilities are definitely stronger than Hachigen's. She could reject Grimmjow's and Ulquiorra's reiatsu when Hachi didn't even do a half of the job.
Inoue's wish was to become stronger and fight by Ichigo's side, not stand behind him. She is stronger now but she is not a fighter and will never be. Kurosaki-kun's presense doesn't do any good to her either. When he is in danger she can't encourage him properly nor can she help him/protect him (healing aside).
She stood behind him for the whole HM-arc.
I don't think Kubo will bless her with amaizing fighting skills anytime soon or should I say...ever. Her character's development is different from other Bleach's characters'.
Well, I'm waiting for Kubo to finally give birth to that development.
But I'm more concerned about Ichigo, though... He needs new moves... or an extended (read: exposed) version of his bankai coat.
Her "fairy" personality + the radioactive Ichigo = Inoue the Great Cheat-Machine of Bleach.
She is not more unique than Chad. If she is than Chad should be a son of an arrancar and a poor mexican woman.

And another thing, why blow what I said out of proportion? I just said, we don't know anything beyond Ichigo being responsible for her awakened powers.
Sorry to disappoint you, but Inoue is in fact the most unique character in Bleach.

Besides, being unique character doesn't make her a good character.
You like her sooo much therefore she is most unique.
I love Rukia most. I say SHE is most unique. "Sorry to disappoint you".

If you can show me someone that can resurrect the dead like she can, feel free to. Hachi is the closest, but his is actual time reversal, and nowhere near as powerful as she is, he couldn't even heal Ichigo, while Inoue only had to touch him to heal him. While Inoue is erasing "truth,fact,events,etc"

Agree with HT.
If we're talking about abilities, the Karakura squad including Ishida, Chad, Orihime and most probably Ichigo all have rare abilities, unique even. You're right that doesn't make them good characters. The question is whether to label all shinigami unique simply because they all have different zanpaktou names and personalities. Every being is different in some way. So the differentiation will have to come between the exceptional and the average. So if we look at it like that, Rukia has the most beautiful zanpactou in SS but that's anectodal evidence, her shinigami rank isn't rare or special. Orihime has powerful healing powers that rival, match or even exceed Unohana's and could not be replaced properly. I'm leaving personality out of it since both are great characters overall in my opinion. Still, it can't be denied that Orihime would be easier to set up for further progression and development. Kubo's barely scratched the surface with her. But we'll see what happens.
Spoiler for Misuse of the word unique.:

Inoue can train till she thinks it pays her off. If it's no use and she thinks she is still weak/useless she'll get depressed, cry and whine until the second party comes again to comfort and help her...and so on and so on.
Throughout the series Inoue's biggest motivation has always been her need to be close to/be equals with Ichigo. Damn, her self-confidence is not as awesome as you state, then. 320+ chapters and she is still in Ichigo's "FRAGILE MATERIAL! Must protect!" box.
I'm dead disappointed, HT. DX
Her only uniqueness is that she is the only character in Bleach who is focused on romance. Her powers are not unique. The kindergarten has ended - Kubo does not draw fairies anymore, besides, barriers and shields are so much easier and less embarrassing to draw.
Her powers remind of shinigami's kidou techniques (barriers and shields). Chad's remind of hollows' powers. What's so unique about either of them? The fact that they are still human. That's all.
Ichigo, Chad and Inoue were unique until Kubo revealed vaizards and arrancars to us.
I say that the most unique character in Bleach must be the Spirit King even though we have never seen him.

"Unique" is touted as a great standard of praise. I'm reserved on that. The reason certain archetypes recur in fiction is not because these writers lack in creativity. Rather, certain universal themes connect better with an audience than random zaniness. The hero protecting his loved ones, the warrior weary of conflict, the mage rising from rags to riches.... there are many basic stories, all of which hold almost infinite possibilities for variation and layers.
In Bleach, some doubters question Ichigo's nakama protecting as "typical" shounen motives. Such abrupt judgment disregards both the depth/detail of his character, as well as how a broad spectrum of fans admires the uber-protective hero. Unoriginal thought the concept may be, many of us can identify with it in our own battles for our dependents.
To extend my suspicions of uniqueness for it's own sake, I identify with Orihime because her problems are not highly unique. She's wracked with self-doubt, unsure of her direction, and feels lonely even amongst friends. Most young people face those issues at some point in their lives, and I appreciate the extended screen-time.
That doesn't mean I enjoy seeing Orihime break down in tears, or think ill of herself. It's not light viewing, nor does it come with quick resolution. But these situations don't come with magic bullets in real life either. So I respect Kubo for not making her self-healing merely the matter of one successful fight , or one good pep talk.......in reality character building is a long, winding track, complete with backslides and periods of stagnation. The wait is uninteresting to many, undoubtedly. Just because a portrayal is realistic doesn't mean it's always good entertainment. Nonetheless, I'll remain tuned.

And after making my comment on the previous post in this series I saw that you clarified his use of "sea pig." I still like the term.ReplyDelete
I think these descriptions are interesting. They aren't long but you get a sense of what it was like to sail over the ocean (not easy).
He writes about seeing a screw packet a few times - this should be close to what that ship might have looked like (http://www.amazon.com/Antique-Martin-Captain-Packet-Steamer/dp/B00800T3IM) - I don't know anything else about them.
Also, did the sailors smoke the decks to get rid of rats or is he talking about something else?
Also, here's what I could find about the ship they were on (information unverified at this point): "This American three-decker [the John Bright], one of the largest square-riggers used by the Saints, was chartered by the church for this voyage from Williams & Guion. She had an elliptic stern, a round tuck, and a billethead. In 1874 she was wrecked off the coast of Brazil." (Source: http://user.xmission.com/~nelsonb/ship_desc.htm). Sorry for the lack of primary sources.
Okay, one more comment. More about the trip & ship, assuming accuracy of the source: "The second voyage originated at Liverpool on 30 April 1866. Captain W. L. Dawson was master of the ship. Aboard were some 747 Mormon emigrants led by Elder Collins M. Gillet, a returning missionary from England, who died that August crossing the plains west of Fort Kearney. He was assisted by Benjamin J. Stringham and Stephen W. Alley. Among the emigrants was a young boy, Brigham Henry Roberts, who was to become a prominent writer and leader in the LDS Church. During a 'pleasant' passage of thirty-seven days there were no deaths and only one storm." (Source: http://user.xmission.com/~nelsonb/ship_desc.htm).
So B.H. Roberts was also on the ship.
Also, here's a better secondary source about the ship John Bright: "John Bright Williams & Guion [owner] Packet [type] 1444 [tons] 1854 [built] Struck a reef at Capo de Sao Roque, Brazil on December 10 1874; abandoned." (source: http://shipbuildinghistory.com/history/shipyards/719thcentury/webb.htm).
Packet ships were built to transport people and cargo over the oceans. Ships like the John Bright were built to weather the stormy seas of the North Atlantic and were not built for speed.
Thanks for the comments! Lots of interesting things going on on this voyage. I like this story about the trip:

November 2001
The evidence derives from a cohort of female sex workers, established in 1984 by Elizabeth Ngugi and colleagues from the University of Nairobi and the University of Manitoba for the purpose of studying STDs. Despite an estimated 60 or more unprotected exposures to HIV every year -- one of the highest documented exposure rates in the world -- over 100 of the 2,000 women enrolled in the cohort have tested negative for HIV infection for at least three years, and in some cases up to 15. Studies of these "highly exposed persistently seronegative" (HEPS, also sometimes referred to as "exposed seronegative" or ESN) women convinced many skeptics that immunological resistance to HIV -- and by extension, an HIV vaccine -- is possible.
Since the first description of this phenomenon by Canadian researcher Frank Plummer (at the 1993 International AIDS Conference in Berlin), the Human Immunology Unit of Oxford University in the UK has joined the Manitoba and Nairobi teams to conduct detailed immunological studies of these women. Their goal: to identify which immune responses protect the women against HIV, and to use that information to guide the design of preventive HIV vaccines.
Over the past few years, the Nairobi studies -- along with those on other HEPS cohorts (see "Studies on Exposed Seronegative Cohorts" in this issue) and on HIV-infected, long-term non-progressors -- have been suggesting some answers. In the late 1990s they helped focus the AIDS vaccine field's attention on the importance of cellular immune responses in protection, especially the CD8+ killer T-cells (also called cytotoxic lymphocytes, or CTLs). These days, emphasis is on identifying the precise regions of HIV (called epitopes) that stimulate what appear to be protective responses, and on elucidating the roles of less well-characterized immune players, including CD4+ T-helper cells and mucosal responses, in resistance to HIV.
Plummer's data caught the attention of Sarah Rowland-Jones, who had previously seen some cases of persistently seronegative women among sex workers in the Gambia. (Gambia is that west-east finger-like protrusion of formerly British-ruled territory which extends into the lower third of Senegal, sheathing the eponymous river Gambia.) Joining up with the Manitoba and Nairobi investigators, Rowland-Jones and colleagues Tao Dong and Andrew McMichael analyzed blood samples from the HEPS women for evidence of HIV-specific CD8+ T-cell activity. Their results, published in late 1998, showed a strong association between the HEPS phenomenon and the presence of HIV-specific CTLs directed against a broad range of HIV epitopes. This association was strengthened by later studies, while various explanations based on non-immune-factors, such as mutations in the CCR5 co-receptor gene, were excluded.
But then came a finding that initially seemed somewhat counter-intuitive, according to Rowland-Jones: the level of the CTL responses in the HEPS women was as much as ten times lower than in uninfected women. "That means that it's not enough to simply count T-cells," she says. Instead, it pointed the researchers towards a more qualitative analysis of the responding cells, for example in terms of their epitope specificity, breadth and functional properties.
The role of IgA was explored further in another collaboration, this time with Claudia DeVito and colleagues from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. The investigators designed a system to model the transfer of HIV across the human mucosal epithelium, then tested the ability of IgA isolated from the cervico-vaginal fluid of HEPS women to block the transfer process (called transcytosis). Samples from six women were examined, and 3/6 reduced transcytosis of a primary clade B HIV isolate by more than two-thirds. The work suggests a mechanism by which IgA could contribute to protection at the mucosal surface, although the authors emphasize that other factors are probably also at play.
In parallel to the IgA studies, the MRC group found evidence of HIV-specific CTL in the mucosa. Examining cervical and blood samples, they found responses in 11/16 HEPS and 8/11 HIV-infected women using an ELISpot assay for interferon-gamma production. They also found that the HEPS women tended to have slightly higher responses in the cervix compared to blood, whereas infected women had significantly more HIV-specific CTL in blood than cervix. This apparent enrichment of mucosal CTLs in the resistant women supports the idea that they play a role in protection from HIV.
It soon became clear that there was no obvious correlation between this "late seroconversion" and the presence or absence of CTLs in previous tests. "Half of the women who seroconverted had CTL [at earlier time points]," says Kaul. "We had looked at a couple of those women repeatedly and seen CTLs many times. So we were quite surprised and disappointed to see them seroconvert." An obvious possibility -- that infecting viruses had "escape" mutations in regions targeted by the women's CTL -- was quickly ruled out.
An answer began to unfold when the search turned to the amount or type of the women's recent exposure to HIV. Their analysis showed that a reduction in sex work -- either stopping for over two months or reducing the number of clients by more than two per day -- was strongly, but not absolutely, associated with subsequent infection: 10 of the 11 seroconverters had reduced their exposure by these criteria, compared to 10 of the 22 persistently seronegative women. Analysis of six women in the latter group found that -- rather than seroconverting when they resumed sex work -- they showed a boosting of their HIV-specific CTL responses. "In those women we saw a general trend that when you take a break from sex work, the immune responses go away," says Kaul. "If you start sex work again, these responses often come back." But it's unclear why the responses return in some women while others become infected. Some possibilities: persistence of HIV-specific CTL below detectable levels in the HEPS women, differences between blood and mucosal responses, the precise nature of the HIV exposure after a break and immune responses not analyzed in the initial study, such as HIV-specific T-helper cells and/or HIV-specific IgA antibody.
The implication of these results, widely reported in the mainstream press, was that continuous exposure to HIV may be important to maintain resistance in at least some HEPS women. Whether this would also apply to vaccines is unclear. The Oxford group point out two possibilities. One is that ongoing stimulation with HIV antigens is required, either through periodic vaccine boosters or through the use of vaccine strategies employing persistent antigen. Alternatively, vaccine-induced responses established prior to any HIV exposure (as opposed to immunity induced by live virus) might show a very different dynamic.
To look more closely for correlates of late seroconversion versus continued resistance, Kaul is now involved in a prospective study, which will monitor a broad range of immune parameters. "We'll try and get women to come see us before they go on a break, so that we can look for HIV-specific responses at that time. Then we'll try to get them to see us as soon as they return, before they've started sex work again, so we can see what's happened to those immune responses." In addition to monitoring CTL from the blood, the researchers will also follow mucosal responses, while Keith Fowke from the University of Manitoba will study the CD4+ T-helper responses.
The nature of the infecting virus in late seroconverters is also coming under the microscope. Some scientists have hypothesized that the resistant women have a latent, undetectable HIV infection, and that the late overt infections could represent an escape of this virus from immune control. "It would not at all surprise me," says Rowland-Jones. She's enlisted the help of Bette Korber from the Los Alamos National Laboratory and Harold Burger from the University of Albany to apply "molecular clock" techniques to date the viral isolates found in late seroconverters. "They plan to sequence virus to try and find out if it is an old Nairobi virus," reports Rowland-Jones. "Although this can't answer the question definitively, it might provide suggestive evidence of a latent infection."
Another striking observation was that all four epitopes showing differences between HEPS and infected women are restricted by HLA alleles known to be associated epidemiologically with HIV resistance in the Nairobi cohort (A2, A24, A*6802, B14 and B18), suggesting that the effect of these HLA types is related to their greater likelihood of generating CTL responses to a repertoire of more protective epitopes.
The study represents a first step in identifying "resistance" epitopes, but there is more work ahead -- particularly given the "information gap" revealed when the researchers use whole HIV proteins, rather than known epitopes, to measure T-cell responses. "We see a number of women who don't respond to a panel of CTL epitopes, but do respond to Env or Gag," says Kaul. "So there are probably some epitopes within those genes that haven't been mapped yet."
Fowke was recently lead author on the first published report to look at both HIV-specific T-helper and CTL responses in the HEPS women from the Nairobi cohort. This study detected T-helper responses in 7/17 HEPS women using an assay for IL-2 production in response to five Env peptides. Fowke's team then carried out both helper and CTL assays on samples from 15 women, and found a statistically significant link between the presence of T-helper responses and CTL. "The data is suggesting that it's important to have not only CTL but good 'help,'" notes Fowke. This observation is consistent with basic immunology work in animal models, demonstrating a key role for virus-specific T-helper cells in generating and maintaining effective CTL responses.
To clarify the role of CD4+ T-cells in protection, Fowke's group is using ELISpot assays to conduct a broader analysis of responses in the HEPS women. Although a significant amount of CTL epitope data is available, there is a dearth of defined class II-restricted T-helper epitopes, one that Fowke aims to address by mapping the responses using clade A and clade A/D recombinant viruses. Another priority for the Manitoba team is investigating HIV-specific T-helper activity in the mucosa, which has never been studied in the cohort (or any other exposed seronegative individuals to date), due to the difficulty of obtaining samples with sufficient numbers of cells.
Results from the collaborative studies of the Oxford, Manitoba and Nairobi teams are also being passed on to vaccine designers Tomas Hanke and Andrew McMichael in Oxford, whose first generation DNA/MVA constructs are currently in Phase I human trials in Oxford and Nairobi. Later generations of this vaccine will draw on information gleaned from the continuing work with these women.

Guarded optimism surrounding Carp's rehab process
Veteran righty, once thought to be on way to retirement, could return to Cards
SAN DIEGO -- The pair of February news conferences took on a tone of solemnity and reflection as general manager John Mozeliak and, a week later, Chris Carpenter, painted a picture void of optimism. Carpenter refused to utter the "R" word, but the idea of career finality was certainly palpable as he spoke.
Carpenter discussed renewed priorities, which started with getting his body healthy enough that he could lift up his children and have a normal quality of life after his playing days were over. Mozeliak talked about reconfiguring the season plans without Carpenter and about the off-the-field loss the Cardinals would feel without the veteran around.
"My hope," Mozeliak added, "is that he still comes around and makes himself available from time to time."
A little more than three months later, Carpenter is now beginning to believe he can do even better than that.
An April game of catch with his son started a comeback trail that, if finished, would be as remarkable as any in Carpenter's career. He has come back from injuries several times before, but he has never made a return as unexpected as this.
Carpenter was scheduled to throw four simulated innings in a bullpen session at Busch Stadium on Thursday. It was the latest in a series of 'pen sessions that Carpenter has used to gauge his progress, test his body and improve his arm strength. Carpenter couldn't get through similar checkpoints over the winter, which led to the assumption that recurring symptoms from thoracic outlet syndrome would end his career.
Remembering how quickly all the excitement vanished in February, Carpenter has been cautious in exuding too much early optimism this time around.
"There's no question that it makes you feel like you're closer and makes you feel like you want to continue to go out there," Carpenter said. "I don't want to get ahead of myself. I want to slowly get back involved and make sure that I'm doing the things that I need to do to be ready when it's time."
If Carpenter emerges from Thursday's work without issue, the Cards will determine what the next step will be in his rehab process. He is considered close to being ready to face hitters, but there is also timing to consider before immediately sending Carpenter out to begin a rehab assignment in the Minors.
Such an assignment can only last up to 30 days for a pitcher. The Cardinals do not want to start that clock until they are confident that Carpenter is ready for that next push.
Once that rehab stint does begin, Carpenter is expected to maximize that stay, using several rehab appearances to challenge his arm and build up his pitch count. It will be treated similar to Spring Training, where starters prepare for the season by making five or six appearances.
"It's going to be up to my stuff and my ability to go out there and stay strong throughout a certain number of pitches or a certain number of innings," said Carpenter, the Majors' winning-percentage leader from 2004-12. "We'll see how that goes when I start doing those rehab starts. From what was originally talked about, we were going to use all the starts that I could get, and all the days I can get, to make sure that it's working."
How Carpenter can contribute to this 2013 Cardinals club has shifted in expectation since he first resumed throwing. Earlier this month, it appeared as if he would carve a path as a reliever. There was a need in the bullpen and, seemingly, no obvious fit in the rotation.
Since then, however, the Cards have lost Jaime Garcia to season-ending shoulder surgery and remain without Jake Westbrook (elbow inflammation) indefinitely. With three-fifths of the rotation spots currently claimed by rookie pitchers, the possible return of a veteran with 144 career wins as early as next month takes on a new significance.
That said, the Cardinals have also been adamant that need will not override the importance of giving Carpenter plenty of time to build up the necessary arm strength.
"Clearly, when you lose someone like Jaime, you start thinking about how those innings will be covered. Carp now factors into that," Mozeliak said. "But I'm taking this in a very realistic approach. Baseball is so fluid. For me, it's all about him being able to show that he is healthy and he can contribute. We have to gear him up as if he were coming back as a starter, because A, that pushes him physically, and B, if we don't build him up as a starter and we determine we need one, we haven't taken advantage of getting him ready for that."
When Carpenter will be ready to return is only the first in a series of questions still to be answered. Other critical questions still remain:
Can a 38-year-old pitcher who has thrown only 30 2/3 innings since the 2011 World Series be as effective as he once was? How will Carpenter's body respond to the rigors of a starter's workload? Will the numbness and discomfort eventually resurface?
The litany of unknowns is why Carpenter, Mozeliak, manager Mike Matheny and others have been hesitant to talk timelines and possibilities. They'd prefer to let the process play out without expectation. But they also know that when it comes to Carpenter, unexpected possibilities are always in play.
"It's awesome to see his relentlessness," said Trevor Rosenthal, Carpenter's winter workout partner. "We all know that he wants to help us out in any way possible, and now, with us losing a couple guys, the team knows what he can add if he can come back healthy and be Chris Carpenter. I think everybody else is pulling the reins. All he wants to do is get out there."

By Muhiyy ad-Din Ibn 'Arabi
May the Eternal Truth wake you from the slumber of heedlessness. May He make you aware of the origin, to which we will all return and in which we will all remain for the rest of eternity.
May the Divine Seer of all and everything open your inner eye, so that you can see and remember what you have done and said all through your life in this temporal realm of experiments. Then you will know and always remember that you must account for it all and that you will be judged on the day of final judgment.
Do not leave your accounting to the Day of Reckoning. This is the place and the time to do it. See yourself., close your accounts. The only way to salvation is to go into the Beyond clean and clear of debts. Give heed to the advice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who said, "Make your accounting before it is made for you, weigh your sins before they are weighed for you." Examine your life; weigh your transgressions against your good deeds. Do it while you still have time in this world of numbered breaths, while you can, before you are left alone in that dark hole in the ground.
While you are alive, your worldly self is like a collector of benefits from Allah's bounties, which come to you from myriads of hands. What you receive is not really yours; you are like a cashier who distributes what he has received, and you are responsible for the accounting of it.
If you do not do this today, be sure that tomorrow on the burning Day of Reckoning you will scream and ask for help. No one will come to your aid. You will. hear the divine voice coming from the center of all divine orders, the voice of the Absolute Punisher who punishes the guilty, reducing them to nothing. it will be saying:
Read your book. Your own soul is sufficient as a reckoner against you this day. (Bani Isra'il, 14)
Hasn't the Lord sent you messengers; hasn't He shown you the right way; hasn't He ordered you to remember Him and praise Him day and night? Hasn't He given you time within the day and within the night to follow His orders?
If you wait until the last minute, you will receive no good from your regret. If you insist on waiting and delay the accounting of yourself, know that all doors and windows will be closed to you and you will be left outside. If this is the case, know that there is no other door, no other place in which to seek refuge. There is no place to go – for you or for anyone or anything in the creation – except Allah's door of mercy. Go and kneel at its sill. Shed tears of repentance and beg for entrance. Try and see what is behind the curtains.
There are three dangers which may keep you from examining yourself making the accounting of your acts, and being thankful to your generous Lord. The first of these dangers is unconsciousness, heedlessness. The second is the flood of tastes and desires that gush from your ego, your lower self. The third is bad habits, in fact all habits, which make one like a machine. The one who can protect himself against these three dangers, with Allah's help, will find salvation in both worlds.
Blessings be upon our master Muhammad and his progeny and his companions – in all tongues, in all places, and at all levels.
Whoever theorizes his religion offends against the Way of God, and peace. Heretic! Deviate toward the Law! Don't complicate. All that is forbidden. All this learned talk is ignorance. Station and state discard it. It's not discussion: Religion's what my Lord said or what he said – the master guide, the envoy (and peace be his) – for he said not a word!
[1]Al-Shaykh al-Akbar. Hadrat Ibn 'Arabi had a shaykh who used to write down on a piece of paper everything he did or said during the day. At night he would make an accounting of that day's words and actions. If he had done wrong, he would repent and ask forgiveness; and if he had done right, he would offer thanks to Allah. Hadrat Ibn 'Arabi noted not only what he did and said, as his shaykh had done, but also his thoughts and feelings.

It was a close call, but the rain didn't dampen my weekend….
On Saturday morning I pootled around the house, cleaning and tidying whilst Adam walked the hound….Friday hadn't gone as planned so it was good to catch up a little. Then after a nice big brunch (Adam poached some very yummy duck eggs for us!) we made our way into London, leaving the pooch with his Grandma Liz (that's Adam's Mum!).
We made our way to friends' Richard and Tara's flat in Farringdon, Tara and I leaving the boys to get up to mischief whilst we headed into town for our friend Brigitte's hen do! First of all we took in a lovely afternoon tea at a hotel on the Strand, then went bowling at the fun All Stars Lanes, before we had a big dinner together. We didn't go in for the traditional Hen stuff (L-plates and penis straws etc!), but chose instead to honour the occasion by all wearing fascinators in light of the fact that the Bride and Groom have requested no-one wears hats to the wedding!
As the pup had a sleepover at his Grandma's, Adam and I managed to get a nice lie in before we went to pick him up. Then after a late breakfast, we took a turn around the Sunday car boot sale at the Market, then went along to the second Great Hitchin Rummage Sale at Bar Ab nearby. Lots of local shops had taken up a pitch there, in what is sort of a one-day pop-up shop….and some of our favourites were there to tempt us with the rummagy loot….Jolly Brown and Red Eyed Dove had a stack of goregous vintage treasures, whilst Mamacita's Cakery (new to us) were selling a table full of dreamy looking sweet treats. We picked up several of the latter's offerings, then made our way home to yum them up!
Because there are so many cupcakes and such being sold on similar stalls at the moment, it takes a lot to impress us….we've really only tried one stall's cakes and been truly wowed (how we miss Flavour Town at Old Spitalfields now that we've moved!). However, the amazing yums by Mamacita's Cakery really did impress us, and we scoffed a Dulce de Leche cupcake, a Mexican wedding biscuit and a 'bronze' biscuit (each) in close succession! Definitely will be trying more of their treats!
To walk off the gluttony, we took the hound to the common for a nice jaunt, then went back to Adam's Mum's for a dinner of fajitas, followed by some of her amazing freshly baked scones (with clotted cream obviously!).
Back at home we had a relaxed evening on the sofa. I finished off a little drawing project for a competition (Oasis' new butterfly collection cover photo) and then had the customary early night!
Hope you had a lovely weekend too!

History of Pillow Fight Club
2006 photos by Russ Juskalian
Leave it to a place like San Francisco to host the most visible incarnation of the Pillow Fight's flash-mob-esque gathering, and subsequent public pillow fight. I would say that a safe thousand people were milling around Justin Herman Plaza at Embarcadero and Market Streets in Downtown San Francisco. As the Ferry Building's clock struck 6pm, the lovey-rage could be cut with a knife from the air around. As 6pm approached, two lines were formed, people wielding pillows took one last breath of air: and running full speed at one another, a Braveheart-like scenario played out. The feathers were everywhere, pilling up to six inches in some parts. Now,

Oregon States quarterback shuffle is emblematic of what has been happening around the Pac-12 all season. Injuries and inconsistency have dogged many teams in a league that always has been known for its strong quarterbacks.
The No. 15 Beavers started out the season with Sean Mannion under center. Because of injury they went to Cody Vaz. Then it was back briefly to Mannion. This week its undetermined.
Other Pac-12 teams that have switched quarterbacks include No. 14 Stanford, which started with Josh Nunes but swapped him for dual threat Kevin Hogan, and beleaguered Colorado, which started the season with Kansas transfer Jordan Webb but now is looking toward Nick Hirschman and Connor Wood.
Washington State has gone back and forth between Jeff Tuel and Connor Halliday.
Injuries also are an issue. Cal senior Zach Maynard is nursing a sprained left knee. Arizona quarterback Matt Scott missed a game with a concussion and was questionable for Utah on Saturday night. The Utes were expected to start true freshman Travis Wilson, who unseated Jon Hays.
This week, as Oregon State (7-2, 5-2) prepared to host California (3-8, 2-6) late Saturday night, the starting quarterback remained up in the air on both sides.
The Beavers situation certainly is unique.
Mannion took over the Beavers as a redshirt freshman last season when the team finished just 3-9 overall. He got off to a strong start this year, leading Oregon State to four consecutive wins while throwing for an average of 339 yards a game.
But Mannions fortunes took a turn when he injured his left knee on a handoff during a game against Washington State. Two days later, the Beavers announced he needed surgery, and the timeline for his return was uncertain. So Oregon State turned to Cody Vaz, who had not started since high school but coolly led the Beavers in victories over BYU and Utah, helping the team to its best start since 1907.
Mannion made an unexpectedly quick recovery and returned to start the next week at Washington. He struggled, however, throwing four interceptions in the Beavers first loss of the season. So Oregon State turned back to Vaz, who helped the team to a victory against Arizona State.
Vaz started last week in a 27-23 loss to Stanford, but he injured his left ankle during the waning moments. Mannion was taking snaps in practice earlier this week, while the Beavers waited to see if Vaz would be cleared.
Oregon State is lucky. Since Vaz had a few quality starts, the Beavers know what theyre getting with either quarterback.
With either guy, we just decide whats going to be best to do against the upcoming team. Theyre both passers first, the both manage the offense, and I think theyre both good players, coach Mike Riley said. They dont really bring something different than the other guy, nor do we have to tone some things down in regard to either guy. Thats the beauty of the thing, they both in spring practice and fall camp basically shared the turns for two years. We just run our offense.
On the other side, Maynard also was iffy for Cal. If he couldnt go, Allan Bridgford gets the start for the Golden Bears.
Hirschman didnt play, so Colorado (1-10, 1-7) started Wood against Washington (7-4, 5-3) in Saturdays 38-3 loss, then turned back to Webb.
Washington State (2-9, 0-8) coach Mike Leach, who has plenty of other issues to worry about this week, lost 46-7 behind both Halliday and Tuel on Saturday at Arizona State (6-5, 4-4).
Scott, spelled by B.J. Denker during his injury, ended up starting for the Wildcats (6-4, 3-4) late Saturday night at Utah (4-6, 2-5).
There still are a handful of lucky teams in the league, quarterback-wise. Two of them are in Los Angeles and faced off this weekend in a battle for the Pac-12 South.
Senior Matt Barkley hasnt lived up to some expectations this season but still ranked 14th in the nation with an average of just more than 297 yards passing per game for the No. 21 Trojans (7-4, 5-4). He entered Saturdays 38-28 loss leading the conference with 33 touchdowns, but hes also thrown a league-high 13 interceptions.
UCLA freshman Brett Hundley is not far behind Barkley with an average before Saturdays win of 274 yards passing per game for the Bruins (9-2, 6-2).
The other stalwarts among the leagues quarterbacks this season are steady Washington junior Keith Price, who threw for five touchdowns against CU; Arizona State sophomore Taylor Kelly; and Oregons undefeated redshirt freshman, Marcus Mariota, who is hearing Heisman whispers.

Tutorial: Set Up a Project
Now we're ready to get started with some coding. The first step in working with Wing is to set up a project file so that Wing can find and analyze your source code and store your work across sessions.
If you haven't already copied the tutorials directory from your Wing installation, please do so now as described in Tutorial: Getting Started.
Wing starts up initially with the Default Project. Start by creating a new project for your work on this tutorial, using Save Project As in the Project menu. Use tutorial.wpr as the project file name and place it in the tutorial directory that you created earlier.
Next, use the Add Existing Directory item in the Project menu to add your copy of the tutorials directory. Leave the default options checked so that all files in that directory are added to the project.
To make it easier to work on source code and read this tutorial at the same time, you may want to right-click on the editor tab area and select Split Side by Side.
Opening Files
Files in your project can be opened by double-clicking in the Project tool, by typing fragments into the Open From Project dialog, and in other ways that will be described later.
Try the Open From Project dialog now by using the key binding listed for it in the File menu. Type ex as the file name fragment and use the arrow keys and then Enter to open the file example1.py. Now try it again with the fragment sub ex. This matches only files with both sub and ex in their full path names. In larger projects, Open From Project is usually the easiest way to open a file.
Transient, Sticky, and Locked Files
Wing opens files in one of several modes in order to keep more relevant files open, while auto-closing others. To see this in action, right-click on os in import os at the top of example1.py and select Goto Definition. The file os.py will be opened non-sticky, so that it is automatically closed when hidden.
The mode in which a file is opened is indicated with an icon in the top right of the editor area:
- The file is sticky and will be kept open until it is closed by the user.
- The file is non-sticky and will be kept open only while visible. When a non-sticky file is edited, it immediately converts to sticky.
- The file is locked in the editor, so that the editor will not be reused to display other newly opened files. This mode is only available when multiple editor splits are present.
Clicking on the stick pin icon toggles between the available modes. Right-clicking on the icon displays a menu of recently visited files. Note that this contains both non-sticky and sticky files, while the Recent list in the File menu contains only sticky files.
The number of non-sticky editors to keep open, in addition to those that are visible, is set with the Editor > Advanced > Maximum Non-Sticky Editors preference.
This mechanism is also used in multi-file searches and other features that navigate through many files. In general you can ignore the modes and Wing will keep open the files you are actually working on, while auto-closing those that you have only visited briefly.
Shared Project Files
Wing Pro actually writes two files for each project, for example tutorial.wpr and tutorial.wpu. If you plan to use Wing projects with a revision control system such as Mercurial, Git, Subversion, or Perforce, you should check in only the *.wpr file. For details on setting up a sharable project, see Sharing Projects.

This section documents all changes and bug fixes applied since the release of 1.2.3.
The required Python version changed from 2.7 to 2.6, to better accommodate a wider range of operating systems. (Bug #16953933)
START SLAVEstatement failed when a MySQL server was started with the
--relay-log-info-repository=TABLEoptions, and with autocommit mode disabled. This fix provides a workaround by enabling autocommit ("SET autocommit=1") before executing a
START SLAVEstatement. This allows the utility to function with past and future versions of MySQL server. (Bug #17029968, Bug #16745357, Bug #68657)
The MUT test suite failed or run slowly on systems with a low amount of memory. This was improved by now killing MySQL instances that are no longer required to execute other tests. (Bug #16991428)
The mysqldiskusage utility crashed when used on servers with strangely named databases, such as "foo`bar". The encoding was updated so the proper database directory is now referenced. (Bug #16920452)
When executing mysqldbcompare with
--difftype=sqlon a table without a primary key, the uncommented text "No primary key found." was added to the generated SQL. This text is now commented. (Bug #16920156, Bug #69227)
The help text for the mysqluc utility contained outdated copyright information. (Bug #16860031, Bug #16832071, Bug #69281)
Using long variables names in mysqluc would throw an unhandled exception when executing
SHOW variables. The variable names are now truncated if their width exceeds the maximum allowable width.
Support for passing in multiple variables to the mysqluc utility was also fixed. (Bug #16832161, Bug #69284)
The mysqlindexcheck utility was not quoting objects identifiers with backticks in the generated SQL. (Bug #16832125, Bug #69283)
The mysqldiskusage utility's
innodb_filelisting did not use the system's localization for displaying digits. (Bug #16832089, Bug #69282)
The mysqlfailover utility was incorrectly recognizing the
GRANT OPTIONprivilege. It now checks if slaves have
RELOADprivileges, which are now required to successfully execute failover due to recent improvements. (Bug #16820207)
Termination of the master connection for the mysqlfailover utility caused an ungraceful failure. (Bug #16805721, Bug #69210)
While performing a switchover, some errors were printed but not saved to the log file. (Bug #16800645, Bug #69195)
The mysqlserverinfo utility displayed misleading error information when accessing a remote MySQL server. The utility would attempt to retrieve the configuration defaults of the specified remote MySQL server, but they can only be retrieved locally. A proper warning is now emitted. (Bug #16799550, Bug #69197)
--start-timeoutoption was added to the mysqlserverinfo utility. It determines the number of seconds to wait for the server to be online when started in read-only mode using the
--startoption. The default value is 10 seconds. (Bug #16799550, Bug #69197)
The mysqldiskusage utility did not display the binary log usage data when used from a remote host. It is now displayed using
SHOW BINARY LOGSwhen the utility is executed from a remote host. Now, the required privileges (to execute required queries) are also checked before retrieving the logs usage, and an appropriate error is issued when appropriate.
The list of relay log files was not displayed properly if
relay_log_basenamewas empty. The default prefix is now used in this case. (Bug #16799466, Bug #69198)
--status=STATUSoption was added to the mysqlauditgrep utility. It accepts a comma-separated list of MySQL error codes (integers). (Bug #16703480, Bug #69034)
The mysqlauditgrep utility option
--query-typewas improved to avoid false positives. (Bug #16617624, Bug #68891)
The utilities console (mysqluc) now reads the help and options information from other utilities on-demand, rather than at startup. (Bug #16344168)
The replication utilities would halt operations with a "Not enough permissions" error even with
--skip-grant-tablesenabled. The user privileges check is now disabled if the MySQL server has grants disabled. (Bug #14348434)
The mysqldbcopy utility did not copy the default charset from the original database. mysqldbcopy will now query the default charset and collation from the original database and set these values (if they exist) on the destination database. (Bug #13893128)
The mysqldbcopy utility failed to copy foreign key constraints while it cloned databases, and the
--default-storage-engineoptions did not function correctly while cloning databases. (Bug #13519748, Bug #63783)
The default charset for MySQL connections is now set to "utf8" instead of latin1, in order to support non-latin data. (Bug #13417229, Bug #14383887, Bug #65273)

"Ino Screams! Chubby Paradise!" (いの絶叫! ポッチャリ♥パラダイス, Ino Zekkyō! Pocchari ♥ Paradaisu) is episode 192 of the original Naruto anime.
Princess Fuku is meeting her fiancé for the very first time. She is hesitant to appear to him in person, thinking that she looks unattractive because she is overweight as a result of bingeing on snacks to relieve stress. She hires Ino Yamanaka - who looks exactly like the princess except for the one obvious difference - to take her place and win the heart of her fiancé's Chikara (who resembles Elvis Presley). Ino tries to behave like a princess worthy of the man's admiration, but she finds his flamboyant displays of affection unbearable. Naruto, frustrated by the mission's slow progress, takes matters into his own hands by transforming into the princess himself. His interference upsets Ino and Fuku, and accidentally reveals her as the real princess. It is revealed that the prince likes chubby women, and Ino is unable to comprehend why.
- This episode is also known as the Matchmaking Proxy Mission.
