I live in the south. I'm unable to find a doctor anywhere that does a "lite" lift; I believe it is similar to the Lifestyle lift. There are no strings involved either. The doctors in the south appear to behind the times.
What is the difference in a "lite" lift and a quick lift?
Doctor Answers 5
Differneces Between the Quicklift, Lifestyle Lift, LiteLift™ and other Modified Facelifts
Differneces Between the Quicklift, Lifestyle Lift, LiteLift™ and other Modified Facelifts -
- These are all modified facelifts, they use real incisions which are shorter than traditional. They all tighten the muscle.
- They are not skin only mini lifts.
- They all modify the SMAS or muscle layer.
- Rhey all use more limited incisions in the skin.
Lifestyle lifts are a nationwide chain of surbgery centers.
- Each doctor does his own variation of a procedure.
- The LiteLift™ in californai is only done by two doctors in private practice.
- The LiteLift™ can be done in the office under local or in a surgicenter with twilight sedation or even general anaesthesia if the patient desires.

Quicklift vs Litelift
unlike popular misconception, the Quicklift scar is not short! Infact it is much longer than many traditional SMAS facelifting techniques. The length of the Quicklift scar enables two positive outcomes. 1. the vector of lift is North south unlike the pulled back appearance of many other SMAS tightening techniques and 2. in my experience a longer incision heals far better than a shorter one.
Another Misnomer in my opinion is that a Quicklift is "quick" or surgery "lite"! In my hands a quicklift performed meticulously and properly can take up to 4 hours, longer if adjuvant procedures are performed. What is quick is the recovery time which is significantly quicker than other techniques.
At the end of the day individual surgeons have their individual preferrences and know what works best in their hands. I have moved over to the Quicklift technique as in my hands, I feel it gives a more natural result, similar longevity with more traditional lifts and significantly reduced recovery time, anaesthetic risk, cost, and risk of haematoma formation / nerve injury.

Lite Lift vs Quick Lift
The mini-lifts may be tough to choose from because of all the brand names such as LifeStyle Lift, S-Lift, Quick Lift, LiteLift, MACS and others. In many cases there are more similarities than differences between these procedures as they share the use of smaller incisions, quicker recoveries, and are often done under local anesthesia with oral sedation so that a general anesthetic is not needed. Differences are often more related to the surgeons experience and preference of surgical technique nuances. I understand how confusing this must be to the consumer. For example in my practice the Lite Lift procedure is performed - see below link for further details.
Probably most important is the skill and experience of the surgeon.
Remember it is the skill and experience of the surgeon that counts not the name !! Great surgeons get great results, period. The best way to find one is to start with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon with extensive experience over many years. Ask to see before and after photos, especially long term ones. and ask the number of times you will be seen afterwards by the surgeon rather than a medical assistant. A good place to start is "find a doctor" on the American Society of Plastic Surgeons or American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons web sites.

What is a Quicklift
A Quicklift is a facial and neck rejuvenation procedure that tightens the SMAS muscle layer in the face and the platysma muscle in the neck through a suture piication technique. The results are an elevated mid face, correction of jowls, and a tight, youthful neck. I often perform this with fat transfers to the cheek to produce a volumized, youthful appearance. Beware of skin only techniques as they often produce the same amount of external scars in front of and behind the ears, without as much longevity of results. Good luck and take care.

A Day in the Life of a Genealogist who is also Writing a Book
It's not easy being me these days. Genealogy and book writing are usually all-consuming tasks by themselves. Combine them and you get a crazy, schizoid scramble of work and excitement. Let me describe yesterday so that you get an idea of what I'm doing.
After reading a 1944 news article, I realized that it held the names of some missing descendants. So I added those married names to people in my family tree. That led me to other people with connecting family trees, and then I began an email exchange with one of them. At first, we both went off on a tangent because there were 2 people of the same name in her famly tree.
Once we straightened that out, she supplied an email from her Uncle, who gave names and addresses of the woman in question, her brother, and both of their children. So I wrote letters, printed out the info and photos that I had of the brother and sister's relatives, and put them in envelopes to mail to them. Guess what? They live just 1.5 hrs away from me, and had been living 1 hr away from yet another relative that I recently found - and none of them had a clue that they were related and living so close to each other!
At the same time, I was getting emails and photos from a woman and her daughter. I had recently tracked them down by getting their names from someone else's ancestry, and then I did a GOOGLE search on the daughter's name. I found her on Linked In and My Space social networks, but she did not respond to my emails. Then a later GOOGLE search showed that she was a journalist. I printed my chapter about her part of the family with some photos, and sent it to her at the newspaper. Her mother then emailed me, and we began an exchange of information.
I also opened a packet of photos going back to the 1940s. This was the result of another successful search. For this search, I had been unable to find anything on the descendants after the 1940s. So I GOOGLE searched on the man's father. I came up with a 1998 message on a genealogy board. The man's 16 yr old granddaughter was doing a genealogy project, and her Mother asked for information. The post was too old to reply to, but I saw the e-mail address. So I GOOGLE searched on the email. I then found the granddaughter's full name, so I put that into my family tree and came up with some of her family details. I then GOOGLE searched on the granddaughter's name but nothing came up, so I searched on social network sites such as FaceBook, MySpace, and LinkedIn. I found her and sent an email. No reply. I saw her husband's name, so I sent an email to him. He sent the info to his mother-in-law, who then emailed me because I had enough details to prove that this wasn't just an internet scam trying to get identity information.
Everyone is cautious about giving out personal information. You should be! But if you are curious about your family roots, and someone gives you good information that matches what you know and more, then you might be open to exchanging information and photos.
I work on ancestry.com, write/answer emails, scan photos, and then put them in my book, adding informational details as I go along. So this is a typical day in the life of....

Over the weekend, it appears that Motorola has updated their chart outlining upgrades for several of their Android-based phones. Most phones are still only planned to be receiving Android 2.1 (Motorola Droid's rollout has finished, while the Milestone is still currently being rolled out in stages for other international markets).
For the Motorola Backflip, they're targeting a Q3 window, with all of Motorola's phones with T-Mobile USA (the CLIQ and CLIQ XT) looking at a Q2 window. Upgrades for Verizon's Motorola Devour and the some versions of the Motorola DEXT (the international version of the Motorola CLIQ) are still to be determined (Asia's 2.1 upgrade for the DEXT is planned for Q3, as well).
Only time will tell if some of Motorola's MOTOBLUR-enabled phones will truly be getting their upgrades as the entire month of June still qualifies as Q2.

Read Poems by
Rebecca Travis
The game is so alluring
The desire
to have the unobtainable
To feast upon the flesh
by the lies we created,
calls to us.
Like vampires
we demand more,
And leave a trail of victims in our path
Some do not even know
that they are victims yet
The game grows beyond our control,
like wildfire.
The rules are blurred
the lines are crossed without regard
Every time we travel this path,
we do so with a hunger
a desire for something
that we can never have
We dance along this path
that surely will self destruct
and care none the less

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) San Francisco fire officials acknowledge that one of their trucks rushing to the Asiana Airlines crash at San Francisco airport may have run over one of the two teenage girls killed in the accident.
Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White said during a news conference that they are "looking closely at this."
San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault said the body of the girl who might have been struck was found not far from an emergency slide about 30 feet away from where the Boeing 777 came to rest after it skidded down the tarmac.
The other body was found on the runway near where the plane's tail broke off upon impact.
Foucrault said the teenagers' families are expected to arrive from China on Monday, and they will receive the autopsy results before they are made public.

The Figgs
The Day Gravity Stopped
Peterwalkee Records
The Figgs seem to have credentials piling out the front door, but that doesn't always equate to success I suppose. They've been together for 25 years as of 2012 and have now put out 11 full length records. Despite the consistent quality of their releases, they're not the biggest band in the world, believe it or not, and I'm not sure why. The Day Gravity Stopped is the band's 11th full length and features 20 brand new songs over two LPs.
The band's sound relies heavily on sugary power pop songs, yet they still pepper in token moments of punk, synth, and even at one point, a saxophone. Tastefully is the key word there. Following up their recent live bootleg included with their 10th LP, Sucking In Stereo, these songs are much more toned down, allowing them to breathe on their own. I can only imagine that they'd follow their trend of beefing them up and boosting up those token punk moments in a live setting, but it's nice to have both options.
I can hear The Nerves and early Beatles as a huge influence here, but perhaps Nude Beach's II would be a better, more modern, comparison/contemporary. Song writing credits are varied throughout the three members of the band, which could perhaps be the reason for the varying style over these four sides. Without being so varied that my attention is lost, the distribution of style is more compelling than anything.

Students at Marshall High School are getting some new, fresh, healthy food options in their cafeteria this year.
Serving as a pilot site for the entire school system, Marshall's new "Statesmen Station" features a salad bar, fresh fruit, deli sandwiches and Asian noodles.
New menu items include a Waldorf salad with cranberries, black bean and corn salad, falafel, and a yogurt parfait with fresh fruit.
The new food bar sits front and center in Marshall's newly renovated cafeteria, not hidden behind doors like the traditional food serving lines. Students were involved in designing and marketing the new station, as well as developing new recipes.
"You all are on the cutting edge of promoting healthy foods and healthy lifestyles," said David Esquith, director of the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Safe and Healthy Students, speaking at a kickoff event for the new food bar.
In addition to making healthier food choices attractive to Marshall students, having a pilot site allows the school system to try out new menu options before expanding them to other schools, said Penny McConnell, director of food and nutrition services for Fairfax County Public Schools.
Her department already uses focus groups and student food tastings when developing new items.
"Nothing goes on a menu unless the kids have approved it," McConnell said. "They're our customers."
The parent group Real Food for Kids worked with the School Board and Food and Nutrition Services to establish the pilot program. President JoAnne Hammermaster said they understand it will take time to change a school system as large as Fairfax County, which is why they wanted to start with a pilot program.
"A lot of kids have never tried some of these things," she said. The goal is to "get them exposed to it to get those healthy habits."
Real Food for Kids would like to see the approach expand to other schools over time, particularly as schools are being renovated.
Superintendent Karen Garza said the pilot program is just one example of efforts to improve the quality of school lunches and educate students about nutrition.
"The health and overall well-being of our children needs to be mission critical," she said.
McConnell said changing school menus can be complicated because all lunches must meet federal standards, appeal to parents' desire for healthy choices, be affordable and appeal to students. In addition, they're serving students from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds and working to meet the needs of those with special diets.
"The challenge is to meet everyone's expectations," she said.

I know, America. Between Kris and Kim's divorce and this announcement, today's celebrity news is Obvs 101. But Jessica Simpson deserves points for creativity. She knows that we know. But she also knows that we know that nothing's real until she tweets it or sells the story to a magazine. She opted for tweeting "!!!ANNOUNCEMENT!!!" with a link to her BeautyMint site, where she posted a photo of her holding her belly and looking strangely hot as a mummy in lace with the caption, "It's true — I am going to be a mummy."
Not exactly the classy Beyoncé/VMA red-carpet pose, but we'll take it. And every time JSimps shows she has a sense of humor about herself, we want to hug her. So does the rest of the world, apparently, because her website crashed from the onslaught of viewers probably not rushing to buy her skincare line. (This is an odd sales tactic: I wanted to see pictures of your baby bump, but now that I'm here, I DO want to know how you can make my fine lines disappear!) Maybe sales of lotions will make up for her apparently not getting that $500,000 magazine deal?

Addison's disease, also known as primary adrenal insufficiency, is a rare condition that affects the body's hormonal activity. It is estimated that Addison's disease affects 1 to 4 out of every 100,000 individuals. This disease is named after Dr. Thomas Addison, who discovered it in 1849.
Addison's disease occurs when the body's adrenal glands are not able to make enough of the hormones cortisol or aldosterone. Each hormone works differently and plays important roles in the human body.
Cortisol helps the body respond to stress. It also helps maintain blood pressure and blood sugar; slow the immune system's inflammatory response; and regulate the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Aldosterone is involved in keeping adequate blood pressure and water and salt balance in the body.
Addison's disease is usually caused by an autoimmune reaction, where the body attacks its own adrenal glands and prevents them from functioning properly. Other possible causes of Addison's disease include tuberculosis, trauma with bleeding into the adrenal glands, surgery, fungal infections, and cancer.
A similar condition called secondary adrenal insufficiency occurs when the pituitary gland does not make enough adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), a hormone that stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol and aldosterone. Possible causes of secondary adrenal insufficiency include pituitary tumors, brain surgery, reduced blood flow to the brain, or brain infections. It can also be caused by suddenly stopping corticosteroid medications after taking them for a prolonged period of time. In this case, the problem is usually temporary.

by Bonnie Bruce, DrPH, MPH, RD
Our nation is so focused on the current obesity epidemic, and there is so much emphasis on losing weight, that those of us who are too thin or struggling to gain weight seem at times to be largely forgotten. But being underweight is more common than is usually realized, with about 2% of all Americans fitting into this category.
There's more than one reason for being thin or underweight. Sometimes, of course, people are thin at least in part because of their genes. If you are thin and can't seem to gain weight, even when you are trying in earnest, take a look at other members of your family. Whether your parents are just about the right weight, overweight, or thin will play a part in what your own natural body type is. And although you can change your body to a certain degree through diet and exercise, you cannot change your underlying body type. If you were born to be thin, it is unlikely you will ever be big and muscular.
Other possible causes of being underweight include overly restrictive, fad, popular, or medical diets; medical problems that impair the body's ability to absorb and use nutrients from food; medicines that affect the appetite; not being able to afford, easily obtain, or prepare food; and psychological stress or social circumstances (for example, depression or loneliness) that take away the appetite. In addition, as people age, the senses of taste and smell diminish, making the thought of eating less interesting. Even the changes in eyesight that happen with aging can affect eating. I have worked with older clients who wouldn't go out to eat because they couldn't read the menu or who would limit their food purchases because they couldn't read the food label.
Being underweight can also be the aftermath of some chronic conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and the percentage of people with RA who are underweight may be higher than for the population as a whole. RA may cause the appetite to wane or the sight or smell of food to become unpleasant or nauseating. Tender finger joints may make it difficult or painful even to try to stir a pot of soup or to hold a knife or fork. The depression that sometimes accompanies RA may take away the appetite, and some of the drugs used to treat it may do the same. The end result is that the body is not getting enough fuel for its needs, leading to problems such as fatigue, loss of muscle strength, and reduced ability to fight off infections.
It may seem surprising, but gaining weight can be as challenging or daunting as losing weight. The good news is that lots of people who want to gain weight are able to do so safely, without sacrificing good nutrition. Before you embark on a plan to gain weight, however, you should first make sure that you don't have any other underlying, undiagnosed medical problems that may affect or be affected by your efforts to gain weight. This is especially important if you have lost weight unintentionally.
To gain weight you have to eat more calories than your body burns up. But how many calories do you need? Don't just guess. You can use an online calculator such as the one available through ChooseMyPlate.gov's SuperTracker to come up with a number. Or if you are seeing a dietitian or know one, ask if he or she could give you a general idea of your calorie needs. Otherwise, here's a relatively simple and easy way to get a rough estimate of the calories you need to gain weight.
First, multiply your current weight by 10. The number you get won't take into account individual differences, such as gender, age, and body composition, but it will give you a rough idea of how many calories your body needs to meet its basic everyday energy needs. Second, add about 30% to that number to account for what you burn up in routine physical activity. Again, the number you get won't take into account individual differences, but it will give you a rough idea of how many calories you need to sustain your current weight. Lastly, take that second number and increase it by 500. If this new number is realistic for you and you eat that many calories every day, you can expect to gain about a pound a week. Gaining one or two pounds a week is healthy and means that you are gaining weight at a good rate. If this doesn't sound like much, think about it as gaining 4–8 pounds a month. If 500 calories more a day seems like too much, start small — even by adding only 100 calories a day — and increase as you are able. An extra 100 calories a day over and above what you are now burning up is powerful. It will result in a 10-pound weight gain over the course of a year.
To add the extra calories, you can eat more at standard meal times, eat more frequently throughout the day, or simply eat higher-calorie foods. Most people will take up parts of all these strategies. Whatever strategy you adopt, it is important that your plan for eating fits your lifestyle, needs, and preferences.

How many times have you experienced a dream that later transpired in your waking life? Some people have this experience repeatedly, noticing strange elements from dreams of the night before showing up in apparently unrelated activities of the day.
I recently attended a business meeting in a building I had never visited before. As I entered the huge meeting room, I froze at the entrance, appreciating that this room had been the setting of my dream the night before. The action of the dream seemed unrelated to the events that took place during the meeting, but the ornate and elaborate boardroom was one of a kind. Many of my clients and students report similar occurrences. I call these "snapshots of the future" and find that for people who make a habit of recording and studying dreams they are almost inevitable.
Some dreams follow themes of future scenarios that offer important glimpses into the future. One student told me she dreamed of driving down a darkened road when a horse dashed out in front of her car. Startled, she awakened just before she could react to the situation. A few months later, while driving to pick up her daughter from a visit with friends, something about the darkened country road she traveled struck her as familiar. A nearby horse pasture reminded her of the dream she'd had. Thoughtfully she slowed the car, and noticed the fence to the pasture was down. Just then a horse bolted from the shoulder right into the road. Had she not been slowing and remembering the dream, she might indeed have hit the horse. Thanks to the eerie feeling of familiarity she had slowed down enough so that a collision was averted.
In my book Dreaming Insights I tell the story of a man who dreamed of being attacked and run off the road by hoodlums. To escape, he dashed off the side of the road into a nearby meadow. The following day, as he went on his daily walk, a passing truck veered toward him. The driver had fallen asleep at the wheel and the truck careened wildly toward my friend who was forced to jump from the roadside into a nearby meadow. The truck went crashing off the road and landed in a gully. The driver was unhurt but shocked, and my friend was astonished and grateful for the dream that had helped him respond so quickly.
Many people are concerned that their frightening dream may contain shadows of future events. Many dream workers, although well aware of how often dreams do contain fragments of the future, believe it is wiser to downplay this characteristic, and treat it as an extremely rare occurrence. I respect the valid concern that people could become frightened of every disturbing dream they experience; when in fact many of our dreams are tense or unpleasant because they focus on challenges and unresolved conflicts in current life. Strong feelings, and important content tend to be woven into highly dramatic and memorable dreams, so how can you determine if a startling dream might contain precognitive or paranormal information?
Here are a few commonalties I have observed among the people who have shared their precognitive experiences with me:
- They have strong feelings about the reality of the dream. It did not feel dreamlike, it seemed like an experience.
- They have frequent incidents of dream elements later unfolding in waking life. Although the dream can be explained in symbolic terms, this explanation feels incomplete.
- There may be concern about the dream, but these people are not consumed with anxiety about it. Excess anxiety clouds judgment; clear perception of paranormal elements appears related to calm assessment and clarity.
I believe this type of dream is both natural and common. By cataloging and noting the precognitive dream incidents you experience, you may come to recognize a pattern and broaden your perception of how dreams may assist us.

His wild Triple Crown ride over, Victor Espinoza will have a lifetime of memories to savor: Winning the Santa Anita Derby, the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and a near-miss in the Belmont Stakes with California Chrome. One of the 42-year-old jockey's memories not related to the Triple Crown will be riding for the first time at Royal Ascot in England on June 17, and a chance meeting with Queen Elizabeth.
"I was coming out of the jockeys' room and I heard this voice, 'Victor,' " Espinoza said. "I said, 'Yeah, what's up?' and then I looked and oh my God, it was the Queen! She called me by name, Victor.
"I talked to her a couple times, actually. We had a long conversation on Thursday of the week I was there, but then I had to leave because I had to get on my horse. I don't exactly remember what I said, but we were having fun. She asked me if I liked it there, if I liked the track, the city. She asked me more questions than I asked her, and I said, 'Yeah, it's pretty nice.' I wanted to ask her more questions but I didn't have enough time because she kept asking me too many questions.
"The entire experience, the Triple Crown, Royal Ascot, has been really fun. Knowing our plan for the Triple Crown was set early on made this much more enjoyable than in 2002, when I won the Derby and Preakness with War Emblem. That all came about like a surprise, quick, sort of last-minute.
"When you have a horse like California Chrome and the agenda is in place, it was more fun for me. The most exciting thing was winning the Kentucky Derby. There was more pressure for me in that race. After that, it was all a bonus."
Espinoza is one of four jockeys nominated for an ESPY Award. The winners will be announced on ESPN at 9 p.m. (EDT) July 16 at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. Other finalists are Javier Castellano, Joel Rosario and Mike Smith.

'Stonewall is deeply disturbed at the EHRC's statement announcing applications to intervene in European Court cases of claimed discrimination against Christians in the workplace. The case features two individuals, Lillian Ladele and Gary McFarlane, who have refused to provide public services to gay people.
The Commission should be crystal clear that if it seeks to defend the claimed right of any public servant to turn away any user of a public service, it will face strong opposition. Gay taxpayers currently contribute £40 billion a year to the cost of Britain's public services and no lesbian and gay person should ever be deprived of access to them.
The EHRC's announcement, which has apparently been made by officers without consulting its board, confuses a settled legal situation that is currently clear. If employees are allowed to discriminate against gay people in the delivery of publicly-funded services, using the cloak of religion as justification, then we risk seeing a situation where Muslims may start refusing to treat alcoholics in hospital or social workers might decline to assist single mothers.
Recent research has demonstrated that the majority of religious people in Britain are proud of our progress toward gay equality. They understand that religious beliefs do not mean individuals have a right to treat lesbian, gay and bisexual people unfairly. We regret that the EHRC does not appear to support this sentiment. We hope it will now offer an unambiguous clarification of its position.'
During office hours please call: 020 7593 1856 or outside office hours on 07985 439 660.

Tensor fasciae latae is one of the anterior thigh muscles. It is enclosed between the layers of fascia lata.
It originates from the external lip of the iliac crest between the anterior superior iliac spine and the tubercle of the crest. Fusiform in shape, it is initially thin but then becomes broader as it descends to insert into the iliotibial tract. The iliotibial tract inserts into the anterolateral surface of the lateral tibial condyle.
Innervation is provided by the superior gluteal nerve (L4, L5).
Its actions are varied:

Below is the poem entitled The Northerly Wind which was written by poet
Gradowicz. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Jolanta Gradowicz
The northerly wind brought the odd uncertainty
And the cold gust of unknown, forthcoming changes.
The only right way was very hazy and dusty;
I couldn't find the suitable roads and bridges.
A winged thoroughbred appeared in the dark sky,
And snorted friendly nearby my tilted head.
I couldn't mount it because its back was too high,
That horse was stunning though its snow-white wings bled.
The northerly wind blew off drapes at a window,
And an unborn child waved to me from the inside,
But the jealous mother buried it in a pillow.
I stood there lonely and dreamed to vanish or hide.
The air thickened for the black clouds and the dust,
I am sure my chances wait for me far away;
Just behind the horizon. I'll find them – it's a must.
The wind is to bring a more favorable day...

HUNTINGTON -- A 49-year-old man from Huntington has been charged with two counts of soliciting a teenager via a computer, according to criminal complaints from Cabell County Magistrate Court.
Paul David Lyons turned himself in for questioning Tuesday and was arrested, said West Virginia State Police Trooper W.G. Hash.
The charges stem from Facebook messaging Thursday and Friday with a 14-year-old boy living in Barboursville.
The graphic messages described what sexual acts the accused would like to perform and receive. Furthermore, the accused sent messages that said "this is wrong," "no one can find out," and "you need to delete these messages."
The criminal complaints say Lyons had been messaging the boy since March but none had been sexual explicit until Thursday night.
The victim's sister notified law enforcement after portraying herself as her brother and receiving the sexually explicit messages.
The criminal complaints say, during their exchange, Lyons tried to arrange a meeting with the boy and asked for his age, which the sister replied 14. At the end of the conversation, the sister told Lyons she would be contacting law enforcement. The criminal complaints said he then tried to bribe her with pills.
Troopers do not believe any physical contact occurred between Lyons and the victim. He described them as acquaintances through family.

As you might have seen MySQL QA Team has published their benchmarks for MySQL 5.0.72 and 5.1.30.
It is interesting to compare with results I posted previously
The quote from the results mentioned above:
"Maybe you've seen some claims by others in the MySQL community that MySQL 5.1 runs slower than MySQL 5.0. Maybe you've also seen some claims by others in the MySQL community that MySQL 5.1 runs faster than MySQL 5.0.
Guess what? They're both right. "
But is it really what results are telling us ?
I do not think so. When you're doing benchmarks you should be comparing best performance settings for given application and conditions. For example it is unfair to compare results with different innodb_buffer_pool_size or innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit but for innodb_thread_concurrency – you should be picking the value which makes your workload to run fastest.
Lets look at the graphs provided in these benchmarks and see what value is best for MySQL 5.1 and for MySQL 5.0 respectively ?
Both versions do their best with innodb_thread_concurrency=0 and 5.0 is slightly but consistently faster. Same as in my results.
So I would interpret these results differently.
MySQL 5.0 is faster if you configure it right. If you configure it wrong the regression is going to be worse than for MySQL 5.1.
You can't really use this results to tell MySQL 5.1 will be winner in cases when small values of innodb_thread_concurrency get best performance. The things can be completely different in this case. They may or may not, there is simply no data at all.
It is also very interesting to see benchmark run with innodb_thread_concurrency=1000 – This is exactly the value which you should never use. The limit of 1000 threads inside the kernel is by far too large (so it is same as 0 – unlimited) but it will add another mutex to deal with for the queue implementation.
What would be really interesting to learn though is why MySQL 5.1 gets so better when threads get queued up, what kind of changes in MySQL 5.0 result in this behavior. It also would be good to run profiling for these results to see where these few percent are lost for MySQL 5.0 to see if they are possible to be reclaimed.
Finally – if I would be doing QA, and benchmarks as part of them I would try to use options which are close to what people would use in production. Or at least explain why they are set so. Is it because 5.1 does not show too good results with standard settings or is it just omission ? Again quite possibly nothing will change but may be not.
In particular: innodb_support_xa=0, innodb_doublewrite=0 are not normally used in production and they do add some overhead.
When looking for results more relevant for production I also would keep binary log enabled – most big installations of MySQL use replication or at least binary log to get point in time recovery from backup. Also Innodb log files of 2*650M are larger than practical for most applications because of too large recovery time.
Anyways. It is great to see MySQL QA Team has published some benchmarks now and I can't wait to see more. If we have data and the good disclosure (settings, versions, hardware) as we have in this case we can make our own mind of results and draw our own conclusions.
Also indeed it is a good time to try MySQL 5.1 for your environment. If you spot any regressions from MySQL 5.0 it will likely take a time to get them fixed.

Sorrel is one of those greens that you see at a farmer's market but you think it is something else. I always mistake it for spinach but apart from appearance, they couldn't be more different. Sorrel is an herb with either shield-shaped or rounded leaves and other names for it are spinach dock or sour grass. It's loved for its bright, acidic flavor that comes from oxalic acid, the same ingredient that gives rhubarb its exquisite bite, which makes sense since the two plants are related. There's a Caribbean species but the sorrel we see at our markets is the one that 's found in European and Eastern European cooking, including some classic French sauces and traditional Russian soups. Sorrel is easiest to find in the spring and early summer but many farmer's markets have it right through August. Its leaves are fragile making it more likely to be found at a farmer's market or Greenmarket, or from a friend's herb garden -- where it can grow like a lively weed -- than it is in a grocery store because it simply doesn't travel well. As the herb ages, the acidic flavor gets stronger. This means you can moderate the amount of acidic taste by age of the leaves (young, tender ones are milder), or else by using a lighter or heavier hand when adding the quantity of sorrel to any recipe. Some who have small vegetable gardens will grow sorrel because the rabbits that eat all the lettuce crops don't seem to like it and leave it alone. But it's worth growing for its own bright, slightly sour flavor that's usually used in one of three ways:
2 Tablespoons pine nuts 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed 2 handfuls young sorrel leaves (about 2 cups) 1 small bunch flat-leaf parsley, the leaves only and all stems removed (about 1/2 cup) Sea salt 6 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano or hard goat cheese
So the next time you're at a Greenmarket and a large plastic bin of herbs is looking unfamiliar. Take a risk. You may get lucky and find some sorrel. Beginning with a fresh summer herb is just another way to cook from the ingredients up.

More than 10,000 years ago spectacularly large mammals roamed the pampas and jungles of South America. This book tells the story of these great beasts during and just after the Pleistocene, the geological epoch marked by the great ice ages. Ice Age Monsters of South America describes the history and way of life of these animals, their comings and goings, and what befell them at the beginning of the modern era and the arrival of humans. It places these giants within the context of the other mammals then alive, describing their paleobiology--how they walked; how much they weighed; their diets, behavior, biomechanics; and the interactions among them and with their environment. It also tells the stories of the scientists who contributed to our discovery and knowledge of these transcendent creatures and the environment they inhabited. The episode known as the Great American Biotic Interchange, perhaps the most important of all natural history "experiments," is also an important theme of the book, tracing the biotic events of both North and South America that led to the fauna and the ecosystems discussed in this book.

Boeing delivered today the first 737 aircraft produced at the new rate of 35 aircraft a month to aircraft lessor AWAS, marking the highest production rate ever achieved for the narrowbody programme.
The airframer plans to grow the rate to 38 a month in the second quarter of 2013 and to 42 in the first half of 2014. Beverly Wyse, VP and general manager of the 737 programme, indicated to Boeing employees that the rate could go up to 60 in the future. However, she later told FlightglobalPro that this was not a definitive announcement of Boeing policy and remains only a prospect based on market demand.
AWAS' new 737 -- the 35th aircraft built on the new rate schedule -- will be leased to Norwegian Air Shuttle, said Boeing.
Production rates for the 737 have increased more than 150% since 2003, Wyse said. She noted that the aircraft received by AWAS was the smoothest of any rate ramp-ups, encountering only three shortages and eight instances in which work was not completed in position.
Wyse gave credit to Boeing's labour union, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), for its role in ensuring the smooth transition to the higher rate. Late last year, Boeing and the union agreed on a new four-year contract extension, following months of tumultuous relations between the two parties.
"This success could not be done without the partnering of IAM and SPEEA," said Wyse, referring to the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace, which represents Boeing's engineers. "The new partnership with IAM means more successes ahead."
SPEEA's contract with Boeing becomes amendable in September, with negotiations to begin this year.
Wyse noted that there is a forecasted need for more than 23,000 single-aisle airplanes in the next 20 years. She predicted Boeing will capture half of this market.

Wyoming Excellence Chair in Community & Public Health
Assistant Professor

I was born and raised on the east coast of the US. In my undergraduate studies I focused on race and gender studies in addition to my biology major. Then I joined the US Peace Corps in Fiji. For the first two years I taught science and biology in a rural high school, then moved to the Ministry of Education to develop two biology textbooks and an HIV/AIDS curriculum. While there, I also met my German husband. We moved to London, where I founded the international office of a global research resource and networking firm and started my masters in education, development and health promotion.
After returning to the US in 2002, I consulted in learning design, communication technologies, and health and then I entered Cornell's Adult and Extension Education PhD program in fall 2005. After completing the education coursework, I transferred to the Community Nutrition PhD program to develop a more effective blend of public health, health promotion and critical social science perspectives that I feel will help address our most pressing national and international health issues. I also worked as an activist and researcher with the "Whole Community Project" (WCP) in Tompkins County, New York. WCP began as a childhood obesity prevention project and became a food justice initiative.
While studying at Cornell, my husband and I welcomed two daughters into our lives. Now the four of us have the great pleasure of living in one of the most beautiful parts of the world.

I am working to understand and (following Kurt Lewin's theory that the best way to understand something is to try to change it) organize social change that addresses health disparities. My research uses community-based participatory action research (CBPR) approaches to such change and investigates public health strategies for supporting for the public's creation of its own health. I'm particularly interested in documenting, assessing, and furthering sustainable food systems approaches to achieving equity, food security and healthy communities. I am grateful for the opportunity to pursue these interests with many partners as project director and principal investigator for Food Dignity.

Family Fight, Border Patrol Raid, Baby Deported
A petition for certiorari filed by the Supreme Court Litigation Clinic is mentioned in this article on the case of Castro v. United States. The petition raises questions involving the Federal Tort Claims Act's application to torts committed by law enforcement agents that also exceed their statutory or constitutional authority. Adam Liptak of the New York Times reports:
A few days before her daughter Rosa's first birthday, Monica Castro and the girl's father had a violent argument in the trailer they all shared near Lubbock, Tex. Ms. Castro fled, leaving her daughter behind.
Ms. Castro, a fourth-generation American citizen, went to the local Border Patrol station. She said she would give the agents there information about the girl's father, a Mexican in the country illegally, in exchange for help recovering her daughter.
Ms. Castro lived up to her side of the deal. But the federal government ended up deporting little Rosa, an American citizen, along with her father, Omar Gallardo. Ms. Castro would not see her daughter again for three years.

Asthma Health Center
Asthma in Teens and Adults - Other Treatment
Bronchial thermoplasty
A new treatment called bronchial thermoplasty is available for adults with severe asthma. For this treatment, bronchoscopy is used to apply heat to the airways. This reduces the thickness of the airways and improves the ability to breathe.12, 13
Allergy shots
Allergy shots (immunotherapy) may be recommended for people who have asthma symptoms that are triggered by allergens.
For some people, allergy shots reduce asthma symptoms and the need for medicines.16 But allergy shots don't work equally well for all allergens. Allergy shots should not be given when asthma is poorly controlled.
- Allergies: Should I Take Allergy Shots?
Some people have used ephedra—a stimulant sold for weight loss and sports performance—to try to treat asthma symptoms. But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has banned the sale of this dietary supplement because of concerns about safety. Ephedra, also called ma huang, has been linked to heart attacks, strokes, and some deaths.
Other complementary medicine
Alternative treatments such as homeopathy, acupuncture, and breathing exercises have been used to help manage asthma. The research on these treatments is limited. Reviews of research show:
- No evidence to support using homeopathy, air ionizers, manual therapy, or acupuncture for asthma.17, 18
- That breathing exercises, such as Buteyko breathing or the breathing practiced in some forms of yoga may improve lung function or reduce the use of quick-relief medicines.17, 18, 19
A review of complementary and alternative treatments for treating asthma in children concluded that none have been proved to reduce asthma symptoms and some may have harmful side effects.20 Some of these studies included teens and adults. The treatments reviewed include:
- Herbal products such as ivy leaf, butterbur, and Tylophora indica (T. indica).
- Dietary supplements such as fatty acids and probiotics.
- Homeopathy.
- Procedures such as acupuncture, massage therapy, chiropractic, hypnosis, and biofeedback.
Talk with your doctor before trying a complementary or alternative treatment.
For more information on alternative treatments, see the topic Complementary Medicine.

Susquehanna Theatre Department to Deliver Tragic Tale of Deceipt
SELINSGROVE—The Susquehanna University Department of Theatre will present "Les Liaisons Dangereuses," directed by Associate Professor of Theatre W. Douglas Powers, Dec. 3 through 6 at 8 p.m. in the university's Degenstein Center Theater.
Based on the novel "Choderlos de Laclos" by Christopher Hampton, the play tells a story of sexual gamesmanship and deceit between the shameless Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont in pre-revolutionary France. The play was made Hollywood-famous by Glenn Close, John Malkovich and Michelle Pfeiffer in the adapted film "Dangerous Liaisons."
Melanie Harker, a junior at Susquehanna and production stage manager for the performance, said, "The backdrop for the show is modern-day haute couture, high-fashion Paris. The costumes and lights will be very striking. The play focuses on relationships, and how two characters in particular, Merteuil and Valmont, manipulate these relationships for their own amusement. It is a very dark drama with comedic moments and seductive innuendo. This production is not suitable for children."
The performance is open to the public. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for non-SU students, and can be purchased by visiting the university box office or calling 570-372-ARTS.
Founded in 1858, Susquehanna University is a national liberal arts college that prepares students for achievement, leadership and service in a diverse, interconnected world. Academic excellence, study away and service learning, student-faculty collaboration, and rich opportunities for creative and personal growth are hallmarks of a Susquehanna University education. Susquehanna students come from 36 states and 13 countries, and more than 90 percent of them find jobs or pursue graduate study within six months of graduation. The university is located in central Pennsylvania, in the town of Selinsgrove, along the banks of the scenic Susquehanna River and about three hours from major East Coast cultural, financial and recreational centers.
