Few days ago I wrote about testing writing to many files and seeing how this affects sequential read performance. I was very interested to see how it shows itself with real tables so I've got the script and ran tests for MyISAM and Innodb tables on ext3 filesystem. Here is what I found:

utf8 data on latin1 tables: converting to utf8 without downtime or double encoding
Here's a problem some or most of us have encountered. You have a latin1 table defined like below, and your application is storing utf8 data to the column on a latin1 connection. Obviously, double encoding occurs. Now your development team decided to use utf8 everywhere, but during the process you can only have as little […]

Identifying the load with the help of pt-query-digest and Percona Server

As Mark pointed out, there isn't a lot of detail in the release notes about what could potentially be a very serious problem that is fixed in MySQL 5.1.60.

A workaround for the performance problems of TEMPTABLE views
MySQL supports two different algorithms for views: the MERGE algorithm and the TEMPTABLE algorithm. These two algorithms differ greatly. A view which uses the MERGE algorithm can merge filter conditions into the view query itself. This has significant performance advantages over TEMPTABLE views. A view which uses the TEMPTABLE algorithm will have to compute the […]
InnoDB: look after fragmentation
One problem made me puzzled for couple hours, but it was really interesting to figure out what's going on. So let me introduce problem at first. The table is
CREATE TABLE `c` (
`tracker_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`username` char(20) character set latin1 collate latin1_bin NOT NULL,
`time_id` date NOT NULL,
`block_id` int(10) unsigned default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`tracker_id`,`username`,`time_id`),
KEY `block_id` (`block_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB
Table has 11864696 rows and takes Data_length: 698,351,616 bytes on disk The problem is that after restoring table from mysqldump, the query that scans data […]
Impossible – possible, moving InnoDB tables between servers
This is probably the feature I missed most from early days when I started to use InnoDB instead of MyISAM. Since that I figured out how to survive without it, but this is first question I hear from customers who migrated from MyISAM to InnoDB – can I just copy .ibd files from one server […]

Some students object to study abroad requirement
SDSU says international experience is vital for all students
The administrators noted that the requirement is spelled out in registration materials, counselors are available to help map out a program and that the timing is flexible, with summer sessions available.
As for the cost, they noted that every SDSU student is charged a $10 annual fee that goes into a foreign study scholarship fund, administered by the Associated Students, to help those who need it. In addition, because the travel is required, any existing financial aid is applicable.
"We work really hard to keep the cost down," Williams said.
Genesis Lopez-Cedillo, a 26-year-old pursuing a degree in social work, said the $400 scholarship she got toward the just-completed Mexico trip was not enough.
"I am a single mother with two kids," she said. "My mom took care of my daughter, who is eight, but she can't take care of both of them. I had to leave my two-year-old son with a friend. I had to give them both money. I had to take a week and a half off from my job…
"I believe study abroad is a good option for students to have," Lopez-Cedillo said. "But students should have an the option to opt out. For me, a single mother, it's a big burden — financially and emotionally, leaving my kids behind."
Despite petitions and claims of hardship, the university's commitment seems unshakable.
"We generally find most students are very enthusiastic," Sweedler said. "We haven't found that it's a burden. We have these scholarships and these short-range programs. We haven't had any students make a valid case they can't financially afford it.
"It's a requirement," he continued. "And you can't opt out of a requirement."

Re: This is hope! (3 young adults fix P30 and head out to sea)
right off the bat, i take offense at that. for my part, i have avoided immature name calling towards you
If you look at my posts you will find in no instance did I resort to 'immature name calling'. I have only commented on the statements made.
your manner has been insulting and pompass
As opposed to assessing blame to a group (progressives) who have had little to no bearing to the present economic situation? How can anybody find that 'insulting and pompass'.
your own 'idiotic' assertion that keynesian economics works
The facts bear this out. The biggest case study would be WWII. A Keynesian framework has not been implemented. The economy is still operating under a neolibral framework.
now, that Minnewaska has pointed out, for the second time, that such a discussion does not belong in this thread and does nothing to further the subject, you are being abusive to him.
Firstly, I have commented on a subject
Secondly, my post pointed out Minnewaska's role is not one of a moderator. I take exception to anyone who takes censorship upon themselves.
secondly, you say you were responding to a jab. who was i jabbing at? you? i didn't think you were an official in the United States government and that you were responsible for the economic state of the country.
Don't know what your on about. I did not personalise my comment.
but, as is usual with people from the more marxist side of the fence, you seem to have to resort to nastiness, disrespect, and insult if you find your views of governance being opposed.
Now this is 'immature name calling'! Good on ya.
previously, all discussion and debate, in this thread, have been friendly, in nature.
If by friendly you mean assessing blame on people who do not have any culpability then by that metric your comments have been very friendly.
all discussion and debate, in this thread, have been friendly, in nature. perhaps, it might be good if you would hold to that standard.
As evidenced by your previous comments you appear to hold me to one standard and yourself to another.
I look forward to your next utterance with the greatest of anticipation.

Facilities Coordinator: Job Description, Duties and Requirements
Learn about the education and preparation needed to become a facilities coordinator. Get a quick view of the requirements as well as details about degree programs, job duties and necessary skills to find out if this is the career for you.
Essential Information
Facilities coordinators typically work under a facilities manager to maintain office equipment, physical space and telecommunications systems for a single building. Facilities coordinators handle building-equipment emergencies on an ongoing basis and serve as a liaison between company employees and outside contractors called in to fix problems. These professionals are typically required to hold an associate's degree at minimum, but a bachelor's degree and relevant work experience is often necessary for managerial positions.
|Required Education
|Associate's or bachelor's degree
|Other Requirements
|Strong communication, organizational and multitasking skills; ability to work with computers and programs such as MS Office
|Projected Job Growth (2012-2022)*
|12% for administrative services managers
|Median Salary (2013)*
|$82,310 for administrative services managers
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Job Description of a Facilities Coordinator
Facilities coordinators manage building and equipment maintenance schedules, test building security systems and prepare for emergencies by creating action plans. In a large organization, such as a university, a facilities coordinator may be responsible for the maintenance and security of one building and referred to as the building coordinator. Facilities coordinators may be involved in planning for future building space and supply needs of an organization. Coordinators communicate daily with supply vendors and update company executives regularly.
Duties of a Facilities Coordinator
Facilities coordinators schedule preventative maintenance, respond to urgent maintenance calls and participate in the creation of emergency preparedness plans. Applying for required environmental permits may be included in a facilities coordinator's job duties. Facilities coordinators review furniture needs and keep the office supply and kitchen areas stocked. Some positions require coordinators to work in an administrative assistant capacity in addition to maintenance coordination.
While there is overlap between facilities coordinators and facilities managers, managers also perform cost-benefit analysis and hire new employees. Facilities managers may be in charge of multiple buildings, each with their own facilities coordinator.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the demand for facility managers is predicted to grow, with an estimated 12% increase in employment of administrative services managers from 2012 to 2022 (www.bls.gov). The BLS reported in May of 2013 that the median annual salary for administrative services managers was $82,310.
Requirements for a Facilities Coordinator
Typically, facilities coordinators are required to have earned an associate degree, but in many cases, a bachelor's degree is preferred. Facilities team members need strong written and oral communication skills. They need to be able to stay organized while multi-tasking and work well in a fast-paced environment. Facilities coordinators work with computers and are required to be proficient with Microsoft Office programs. According to job ads on Monster.com in December 2010, applicants need 2-3 years of experience working in facilities, project management or real estate prior to working as a facilities coordinator.
With education and experience, facilities coordinators may advance to a facilities manager. Managers are required to hold a bachelor's degree in a related field. In many cases, at least four years of experience working with facilities maintenance or coordination is required to become a manager. The International Facilities Management Association offers a Facility Management Professional credential designed for facilities workers, including facilities coordinators, interested in advancing in their careers (www.ifma.org).

Our Clothes are Getting Smarter
Clothes have done much more than serve as protection from the weather for tens of thousands of years. Over the last few millennia they've been worn as statements of rank and fashion, adapted for countless specialised uses from military combat to surfing and bee-keeping, cut and tailored in every conceivable shape, colour, size and fabric, and become signposts for entire cultures. Along the way clothing manufacture has embraced and developed many new innovations, and it seems a natural progression for micro-electronics and other emerging 21st century technologies to find their way into our wardrobes next to the zip-off tracksuit pants and the Moon-boots. The result: clothes are getting smarter.Smart clothing will both enhance its primary role as body covering and extend its functionality to keep us connected, entertained, relaxed, safe and healthy. Fabrics and designs with built in temperature control mechanisms will merge with invisible add-ons like mobile phones and MP3 players, sophisticated medical monitoring systems integrated into shirts will save lives and clothes may even provide us with our daily vitamin supplement.

Dr Penkala is a great doctor and he is always willing to help. He has been in my family from my grandmother to my mother and now me. Each one of us thinks of him as an amzaing doctor.
Dr.Penkala has been my OBGYN for 23 years. He has delivered 3 out of my four children. all my pregnancy birth were fabulous he comes across very serious but gets the job done he has times where he needs to be serious after all I would want him to be. I've also had two surgeries with him and both times he was fabulous the office staff are fantastic robin is my favorite.they are very attentive when you call with a problem they call you back or Dr Penkala calls back.Waiting in the waiting room I always tried to think of one day I might be the reason the office is running late so I tried to be compassionate in regards to other people after all we all know when your in labor your in labor...
The office staff needs to learn a little customer service skills. If they know its going to be a long wait, don't let a patient sit there for 45 minutes and then say "well the doctor isn't here and we don't know when he will be back". I was also told my due date wrong twice!! Dr. Penkala has little patience and understanding for first time mothers. When i would ask questions his answers would be short. He had made me feel that calling him would be an inconvenience. The staff member Robin is sweet, knowledgeable and great with patients. And Ann, the nurse practitioner, is so thorough with every visit. I call her my encyclopedia. Wish i didnt feel rushed during every prenatal visit, as I would use this office again.
wHAT A LOSER, NOT BAD BEDSIDE MANNER, no BEDSIDE MANNER. I tried to speak to him about my moms issues, as I am her caretaker, due to my moms terrible memory. Said"oh, you didn't take and Motrin or any thing for discomfort, as you didn't know that I've deciced to enter you uterus and cut out a few pieces of skin. " I stated, "I don't think so". Then his exact words were "well if you go to the hospital they are going to put you under, and thats a serious thing at your age." Well if he had any clue or if he could stop acting as if he were God's right hand man, he might have checked and seen that being put under has never been an issue for her. Then the most insulting and disgustingly wrong thing to say to a woman, his exact words were," If you have it done at the hospital, someones going to have to pay for it" Who is this clown to try to make my mother feel guilty for having insurance just like he does, but it's ok for him is someone else has to pay for his medical costs, and its ok to use on an elderly woman, to make her feel guilty, that the insurance she so deserves is paying for her well deserved cost, actually this arrogant "vet" just says, "well thats fine, I make even more money doing it at the hospital, get dressed and I'll have all the paper work ready for you to sign, so I will set it up for me to do it at the hospital" I don't think so, I helped her get dressed and we walked right passed him saying goodbye, letting him know politly that A Dr. will be doing whatever is needed, but not this uncareing, ignorant Dr., Oh I forget, he came in like rushing her to get undressed and called her by two other names that weren't even close to hers, it's very warm and comforting to be seeing a Dr. that is in such a rush, he can't read the chart that has the correct name on it, Who is Maria?? Ex-patient, ex-wife, or some else on his mind? READ all reviews and there are plenty of talented OBGYNs out there, if advised to see this has been, REFUSE before you, your own mother or daughter get subjective to his HORRIBLE interactions. My moms first thing she said to me in the car leaving was "He really scared me"
Not a very good bedside mannerLikes to rush through appointmentsCan be rude at timesOffice staff very rude,Never organized,Appointment is never on time!
Do not I repeat., do not see this Dr. I had the happy experience, or what should have been, with my good Friend. As soon as he walked in he didn't even greet her. Belittled her for gaining a few pounds during the week in her pregnancy , didn't even greet me or look my way. I've heard sooooo many stories or his rude, arrogant bed side manner, two stories of one patient dyin in his care and one misdiagnosed. He needs to be reviewed and have his license taken away. He is a miserable human being, and NO one should have the misfourtune of having to be in his care.
He is very arrogant with no bed side manners a bit belittling too! He does not go out of the way for you and almost makes you feel like he is doing you a favor!!
I had an issue happen on a Friday afternoon that was really quite scary. I was told they were too busy and to call back Monday. I asked if I should go to ER and their response was, "if you feel like it". I went to urgent care and they sent me immediately for a transvaginal ultrasound. It revealed that I had large fibroids and should follow up with OB and gave me medication for pain. The urgent care physician called me the next day to see how I was feeling. She even called me on Sunday to tell me my blood test results!! Now that's a good doc!!When I saw Dr. Penkala on Monday, he was so rude about me going to urgent care and his staff talked to me like I was $&@;. He had always been nice up until then. I never had any issues. But I'll never go back, either.
Dr. Penkala should turn in his license to practice medicine! I was 27 weeks pregnant (had felt ignored the entire way through my pregnancy) when I started bleeding and was told unless I was gushing blood I was fine. I also gained almost 70 lbs of water and couldn't breathe. When he was not doing anything about it I switched doctors. At 28 weeks my new doc. sent me to the emergency room after taking one look at me and I delivered my baby at 1 lbs 14 oz (she had stopped growing weeks before!) and I almost died with a failing liver and kidneys and blood pressures of 209/125!!! Even the books told me I had preeclampsia before this doctor did! Fortunately me and my daughter both made it and we are both healthy today.. no thanks to dr. Penkala
Dr. Penkala and his staff are horribly rude and dismissive. They are judgmental and uncaring, and are clearly in it for the paycheck and not for the patient care. This was my first visit, and Dr. Penkala berated and belittled me WHILE I WAS IN THE STIRRUPS!! 4 months after my pap, I still didn't receive the results, only to receive a call from my PCP advising of them! Horrible business practices. I'm MUCH more comfortable at Planned Parenthood, picketers and all.
kind, gentle and knoledgeable
my first time ever going to the ob gyn i was like 13 and scared out of my mind. dr. penkala made it soooo much better..not. it hurt so bad to the point where i was balling my eyes out. and he didnt even care. he also was very rude and disrespectful. make sure you see molly, she is so much better.
I have been a patient of the office for over 12 years now and have never had an issue with the staff, PA, or doctor. I find that he takes the time to answer questions. I had to go in for a biopsy in the office which I was very nervous about and he actually eased my anxiety about it.
Although his PA is wonderful, when I actually had to see him, he is one of the worst doctors I have ever encountered! Rude, no beside manner and does not follow up after a procedure.
This doctor looks and talks like a thug. I don't know where and how they give MDs to people like him. Don't go to him and if you already are seeing him, change your doctor. Very rude and arrogant. He yelled and disrespected me numerous times while I was accompanying my wife during her appointments. I wish I would have been able to slap this mofo but I had to hold back because of my spouse and the situation she was in.

Valete is a Portuguese language political hip hop artist named Keidje Lima[1] that has enjoyed some critical success in his home country of Portugal.
Life & music career[edit]
Valete was born in Lisbon, Portugal. He lived in Benfica, traveled to Arroja, returned to Benfica, then moved to Amadora and finally stayed in Damaia. From a young age he developed strong politic opinions, influenced by his Philosophy teacher at school. He joined the "Juventude Comunista Portuguesa" (Portuguese Communist Youth), but dropped out a short time afterward. He began listening to rap music in 1991, but it was until 1995 that he encountered deeper lyrics from artists like Nas, Krs-one and Racionais MC's.[2] His chosen artistic name, Valete, was inspired by a documentary of illusionism, with the mystic idea that a Valete (Jack) card, used in magic tricks, didn't allow the illusionism to develop correctly.
His music activity began in 1997 with Adamastor, when they created a group called Canal 115, and later getting signed by Horizontal Records. During that same year, and only sixteen years old, he started recording mix-tapes launched by DJs like Bomberjack and Cruzfader. He continued with Canal 115 for 2 more years constantly performing in his country, but then decided to dedicate himself to his studies, getting a degree in Economics at Lisbon School of Economics & Management, ISEG.
In 2002 he returned with his album Educação Visual, launched independently and rejecting collaborations. Valete, who before this album was known for being a freestyle or battle MC, clearly showed his lyrical talent with elaborate rhymes, taking on anti-capitalist overtones.[2] In the song Anti-Herói, he defines himself as a "Trotskista belicista" (a bellicist Trotskist).
His second album Serviço Público was named as one of the best Portuguese hip hop albums of 2006 by the critics.[3] It was also chosen as the second best national album by the listeners of the Hip hop radio show Suburbano on Coimbra's university radio, RUC.[4] A prominent hip hop critic, Rui Miguel Abreu, has called him the only political rapper in Portugal.[5]
Currently, he occupies his time both on his professional career in the commercial department of a company for hydraulic resources and a bakery that he opened in 2007 in São Tomé e Príncipe.

Wind turbine getting seismic shakedown
Structure's performance in temblors to be tested
Online: For live viewing of UCSD's shake-table tests of a wind turbine, go to uniontrib.com/shakecam tomorrow to access the Web cam.
When it comes to earthquake engineering, the priority has always been to design and build homes, stores and offices that aren't likely to collapse during a strong temblor.
But when the ground starts shaking, other kinds of structures also may fall or fail, including bridges, highways, electrical towers and smokestacks. The history of efforts to make these "non-building" structures more resistant to earthquakes is generally shorter and not as comprehensive.
Researchers at the University of California San Diego will start taking an in-depth look at one of these less-studied structures tomorrow when they subject an 80-foot, 23,400-pound working wind turbine to a series of simulated earthquakes escalating to more than 7.0 in magnitude.
This will be only the second known test of a full-sized wind turbine on a shake table — a computerized, hydraulic-powered platform that can replicate the motions and forces of specific earthquakes or seismic events. The 40-foot-by-25-foot structure at UCSD's Englekirk Center, off Interstate 15 in Scripps Ranch, is the world's largest outdoor shake table.
The ability of wind turbines to withstand earthquakes and remain functional is a question of growing relevance. Three years ago, 2,439 wind-farm turbines produced about 2.3 percent of the state's overall system power, according to the California Energy Commission.
That percentage will rise because state law requires California's large, investor-owned utilities to generate 20 percent of their power from renewable sources by the end of this year. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has proposed a goal of 33 percent by 2020.
"I expect we're going to see a vast increase in wind farms, which gives even more importance to this work, especially since more turbines will be deployed in areas with seismic activity," said Ahmed Elgamal, a professor of structural engineering at UCSD and principal investigator for the turbine tests.
The UCSD turbine will be subjected to increasingly powerful shaking that represents earthquakes such as the 6.7-magnitude Northridge temblor in 1994. If all goes well, researchers may try to replicate a quake stronger than any recorded in California history.
Elgamal said he doesn't know precisely how the turbine will respond to the turbulence. "There's hardly any published research on their seismic behavior," he added.
Turbines are upright steel tubes typically bolted to a concrete foundation with a set of spinning blades and a nacelle filled with machinery at the other end. The newest models are two to three times taller than the one being tested by the UCSD researchers.
"They're top-heavy, like a lollipop," Elgamal said. "But we don't know if that means they're more vulnerable to falling over during an earthquake. Or maybe the steel tube is more prone to buckling, like what happens when you bend a can of Coke."
The role or effect of moving blades isn't clear, either. Depending on the characteristics of the simulated temblor, the blades' activity might heighten the earthquake's destructive impact or act as a counterforce and dampen seismic movement.

From Eric: Prospero 1.26 is out. New features include "conversion of a single page number, or a range of page numbers, from an Ariel document into individual PDFs, for removing the invoice that sometimes comes with an Ariel document or when several documents come in a single Ariel transmission. [Prospero also] now allows import from a monochrome PDF/TIFFs uncompressed or compressed using a CCITT Group3/4 Fax compression scheme."
Prospero 1.26
as seen at freshmeat: "Fixed some problems which made all previous versions of BioMail nonfunctional due to changes at PubMed site. Added HTML 'skins', csv file format." If this means they finally did the cutoff of the old server some of my pubmed code must be broken too... for more see the redesigned BioMail site.
SLRI: web to Z39.50
the Simon Fraser University Library Research Instrument (SLRI) is "a web to Z39.50 client interface" brought to you by the good folks at SFU. it's an adaptation of the web to Z39.50 gateway developed by Harold Finkbeiner at Stanford, licensed under GPL and recently spied at sourceforge.net as well.
as seen at freshmeat: "User interface changes, including early support for variable window sizes, smoother pagination, etc. Executable renamed from gutenbook.pl to gutenbook." see gutenbook.org for more.
Gutenbook reader(s)
from the Gutenbook site: Gutenbook is an app for downloading, and reading of etext books published electronically from the Gutenburg Project. it's fairly basic but it works, and has ports for linux (tk or qt) and windows. not only is this a needed app, it looks like a great starting point if you are interesting in learning to hack one of these environments (gtk-perl or kde/qt).
as seen at freshmeat: "An installation script, bugfixes, urls for each reference for the text-formatted e-mails, and an option to stop getting empty e-mails." See biomail.sourceforge.net for more.
Reader's Robot
Kevin wrote in about Reader's Robot, an online, submit-it-yourself readers' advisory service. Free replacement to amazon comments, anyone? :) According to Kevin, "It's quite clunky, as I learned perl (starting with version 4!) writing it." Glad to see this is already happening...
from the BioMail Home Page: "BioMail is a small web-based application for medical researchers and biologists. It is written to automate searching for recent scientific papers in the PubMed Medline database. Periodically BioMail does a user-customized Medline search and sends all matching articles recently added to Medline to the users' e-mail address. HTML-formatted e-mails generated by BioMail can be used to show selected references in medline format, which is compatible with EndNote reference manager." You can either download and run it at your site or get an account on their server...
Gutenbook-0.1 -- the original?
as seen at freshmeat: "Gutenbook is a personal multi-stage project to design, prototype, and develop a GTK+-based desktop application for reading Project Gutenberg Etexts. Currently, development consists of advanced prototyping in Perl/GTK+." According to the author, Lee, this is the original codebase from which the other Gutenbook project started, but this one is purely focused on perl/gtk+ instead of multiple (incompatible) codebases.
from the Open Source Course Reserves (OSCR) site: "Release 1.50 streamlines data entry and adds other features... ". looks like they've also got some php3 in there now in addition to perl, and the perl bits are moving to DBI.

The Nokia cell phone is not a video camera, but this video by Paul Trillo caught our attention. Unfortunately it may cause some people motion sickness watching it. Arc of Wonder: Bullet- Effect Photoshoot with 50 Lumias It was transported through the bustling streets of New York to capture "Living Moments" using the powerful 41-megapixel camera on the Lumia 1020.
It's another first for Lumia, connecting 50 smartphones and enabling a "bullet-effect" photoshoot pushes the boundaries of photography and technology. Pioneering filmmaker Paul Trillo, said: "We used a Microsoft Surface tablet to control the shoot and a special app which was designed for the Windows 8 mobile platform."We captured a total of 30,000 images across Manhattan, including Union Square, Allen St. and Central Park West.""The Multi Lumia Arc of Wonder combines smart technology to demonstrate the power of Lumia imaging, and the results are stunning" said Costas Syrmos, head of the creative lab.
The film was compiled from the still images shot with 50 Nokia Lumia devices.
Microsoft and renowned filmmaker Paul Trillo joined forces to create a smartphone system that allows users to control multiple Nokia Lumia 1020 devices both wirelessly and simultaneously. Designed for the Windows 8 mobile platform, the "bullet effect" is a technical first on a mobile device, offering 100% mobility.
Behind the Scenes of 'Living Moments – Lumia Arc of Wonder'
After connecting 50 Nokia Lumia devices, a separate, designated Surface tablet was used as a remote control, creating the "Lumia Arc of Wonder".
The result reveals the phones' incredible capabilities for striking, vivid imagery, whilst pushing the boundaries of photography and technology.

Zoom has released the new Zoom H5 Handy Recorder; a sequel to the H4n that was embraced by many in the DSLR video world.
The new H5 now includes a brighter LCD screen than the H6 which was previously released.
X/Y recording allows you to cover a wide area yet still capture sound sources in the center with clarity and definition, making it ideal for all types of live stereo recording. The XYH-5 X/Y microphone capsule included with the H5 provides two matched unidirectional condenser microphones set at a 90 degree angle. These are housed within an advanced shockmount that employs rugged external mic wires and rubberized material to isolate the unit from the H5 body and thus minimize vibration and handling noise. The design of the XYH-5 also allows the H5 to handle louder sounds than any other Handy Recorder model: 140 dB SPL, to be precise—equivalent to the sound of a jet aircraft from less than 200 feet away—enabling you to capture sounds louder, closer, and cleaner than you ever could before.

Sia - Chandelier (Official Video)
It's pretty hard to tell which is better: the productions value and DP skills for this video, and the room and mood specific lighting, or the young women dancing. The "Official video" is really well done; and then the recreation live at the ELLEN show the dancer changes things up really nicely. Start your weekend early and wacth both videos.
In a little more than two weeks online the music video for "Chandelier" by Sia, featuring 11-year-old dancer Maddie Ziegler, has become a minor pop-culture phenomenon, generating more than 12 million views on YouTube and being recreated live on-stage for Ellen 9See below). Sia co-directed with Daniel Askill; the DP was Sebastian Wintero and the choreographer was Ryan Heffington.

It really take a certain type of ridiculousness or greed to draw the ire of Steven Colbert and have him dedicate time to pointing that out. But last weeks many announcements regarding the Amazon patent for Photography on a white background and the blow back from the professional photographic community was reason enough to draw The Colbert Reports attention.
This: The Colbert Report segment does a great job of highlighting the ridiculous culture of patents; and as Steven points out: "so if you have an idea, and you work hard, someday you too can get sued by someone who had a similar idea" before diving right into how Amazon's wordy description of a common practice is, not "bull shit," but rather "male bovine fecal matter extruded on a longitudinal axis."
Don't worry though, Amazon's gonna get what's coming to them because Colbert filed a patent that goes even one step further than patenting a technique everyone uses always… he patented patenting things. Check out the video to see it all for yourself and we hope this helps start off your Friday on a fun note.

Your typical copyright infringement involves one photographer stealing another photographer's images, or reproducing copyrighted images without permission. But in this case, it's the largest retailer in the world bullying a small Arkansas studio.
Walmart and its founding family, the Waltons, have filed suit against Helen Huff, the widow of Arkansas photographer David A. Huff. David Huff's studio, Bob's Studio of Photography, was founded by his late father, Robert A. Huff, in 1946, and created portraits of the Walton family before the expansion of Walmart grew them into one of the wealthiest families in the world. But now Walmart and the Walton family are demanding that Helen Huff hand over those works.
Read the full story here.

The Ceremony - Happy Mabon - Equinox!
in Spirituality
Join us in our on air celebration of the cross quarter day, Autuminal Equinox or Mabon (in some traditions). Our focus is on the second harvest aspect and the balance between light and dark. This, after all, is the time when there is an equal amount of day and night. While we celebrate the gifts of the earth, we also accept that the soil is dying. We have food to eat, but the crops are brown and going dormant. Warmth is behind us, cold lies ahead. Here are a few rituals you may want to think about trying -- and remember, any of them can be adapted for either a solitary practitioner or a small group, with just a little planning ahead.

The Fall Equinox - Mabon
in Spirituality
Another Wheel of the Year Sabbat, Mabon! Mabon is the second harvest, and as such becomes another holiday of thanksgiving. It is also the day when darkness once more overtakes light, and so it is a day of planning, reflection, and the contemplation of mysteries. Mabon is the Witch's Thanksgiving, a time to appreciate and give thanks to the Goddess for her bounty and to share in the joys of the harvest. Fall fruits, squash, gourds, pumpkins,grains, nut breads, vegetables. The autumnal equinox occurs when the sun crosses the equator on its apparent journey southward, and we experience a day and a night that are of equal duration. Up until Mabon, the hours of daylight have been greater than the hours from dusk to dawn. But from now on, the reverse holds true.

PMP: Community Harvest - food, friends, and more
in Spirituality
In the Northern Hemisphere we are in the midst of harvest season. Lammas was celebrated at the beginning of August and Mabon was September 21st. The third and final harvest, Samhain, is about four weeks away. But what is harvest? To the farmers and gardeners it is obvious what a harvest is. But to those of us who live in the cities and are somewhat detached from the agricultural world, harvest can mean something very different.
KaliSara and RevKess will talk about both traditional harvest and the harvest of the community. With her involvement in farmers' markets and her own gardening endeavours, KaliSara brings to the table the traditional harvest of foods. With his community involvement and volunteer work, RevKess brings to the table the harvest o the community.

That Salman Khan is yet again reprising his role as the host on 'Bigg Boss 8' is no mystery any more. But a little birdie from the sets informed us that the Dabangg Khan will be going all the way to Bangkok to shoot an exclusive promo for 'Bigg Boss'.
Salman, who has been synonymous with the show for years now, had previously decided to turn down Colors' offer but now it has been made official that Salman would still be the face of the show.
Having shot promos in a way much different from what has been done in the past, Salman's 'Bigg Boss' promos have always come up bringing the theme of the show to the fore.
For the same, Salman is expected to fly to Bangkok and shoot the promo as early as possible because the channel is planning to launch the next edition of the controversial show in September this year.

Recent studies have advanced our understanding of how the PcG proteins regulate cell fate decisions and how their deregulation potentially contributes to cancer. In this Review we discuss the emerging roles of long non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and a subset of transcription factors, which we call cell fate transcription factors, in the regulation of PcG association with target genes. We also speculate about how their deregulation contributes to tumorigenesis.

We obtained random short autosomal sequence reads from seven individuals: two from the latter site and five from the Leprosarium and used these to call SNP identities and estimate ancestral affinities with modern reference data. The Leprosarium site samples were less preserved but gave some probability of both African and European ancestry. The two discard deposit burials each gave African affinity signals, which were further refined toward modern West African or Bantu genotyped samples. These data from distressed burials illustrate an African contribution to a low status stratum of Lagos society at a time when this port became a hub of the European trade in African slaves which formed a precursor to the transatlantic transfer of millions PUBLISHED 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Paging through history: Parchment as a reservoir of ancient DNA for next generation sequencing http://hdl.handle.net/2262/73607 Paging through history: Parchment as a reservoir of ancient DNA for next generation sequencing BRADLEY, DANIEL Parchment represents an invaluable cultural reservoir. Retrieving an additional layer of information from these abundant, dated livestock-skins via the use of ancient DNA (aDNA) sequencing has been mooted by a number of researchers. However, prior PCR-based work has indicated that this may be challenged by cross-individual and cross-species contamination, perhaps from the bulk parchment preparation process. Here we apply next generation sequencing to two parchments of seventeenth and eighteenth century northern English provenance. Following alignment to the published sheep, goat, cow and human genomes, it is clear that the only genome displaying substantial unique homology is sheep and this species identification is confirmed by collagen peptide mass spectrometry. Only 4% of sequence reads align preferentially to a different species indicating low contamination across species. Moreover, mitochondrial DNA sequences suggest an upper bound of contamination at 5%. Over 45% of reads aligned to the sheep genome, and even this limited sequencing exercise yield 9 and 7% of each sampled sheep genome post filtering, allowing the mapping of genetic affinity to modern British sheep breeds. We conclude that parchment represents an excellent substrate for genomic analyses of historical livestock. PUBLISHED 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Microsatellite genotyping of medieval cattle from central Italy suggests an old origin of Chianina and Romagnola cattle http://hdl.handle.net/2262/73606 Microsatellite genotyping of medieval cattle from central Italy suggests an old origin of Chianina and Romagnola cattle BRADLEY, DANIEL Analysis of DNA from archeological remains is a valuable tool to interpret the history of ancient animal populations. So far most studies of ancient DNA target mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which reveals maternal lineages, but only partially the relationships of current breeds and ancient populations. In this study we explore the feasibility of nuclear DNA analysis. DNA was extracted from 1000-years old cattle bone collected from Ferento, an archeological site in central Italy. Amplification of 15 microsatellite FAO-recommended markers with PCR products yielded genotypes for four markers. Expected heterozygosity was comparable with values of modern breeds, but observed heterozygosity was underestimated due to allelic loss. Genetic distances suggested a position intermediate between (1) Anatolian, Balkan, Sicilian and South-Italian cattle and (2) the Iberian, North-European and Central-European cattle, but also a clear relationship with two central-Italian breeds, Chianina and Romagnola. This suggests that these breeds are derived from medieval cattle living in the same area. Our results illustrate the potential of ancient DNA for reconstructing the history of local cattle husbandry.
