Theater 1 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 1), T1
Terra de Ninguém
2012. Portugal. Directed by Salomé Lamas. Paulo De Figueiredo worked as a mercenary, a figure on the fringes of two worlds: power, and the revolutions that brought it to an end. Structured as a non-linear conversation between the filmmaker and his subject, the film takes place in "no man's land," a place outside of either's comfort zone. Paulo speaks of anonymous locations and facts, fragments of violence and cruelty, and his own experiences. The filmmaker asks: What are the distinctions between reporting (facts) and literature (imagination), between authentic and artistic reality? How can you truly represent trauma, memory, and history?

user| CURRENT_USER }] TRIGGER
tbl_nameFOR EACH ROW [
trigger_time: { BEFORE | AFTER }
trigger_event: { INSERT | UPDATE | DELETE }
trigger_order: { FOLLOWS | PRECEDES }
This statement creates a new trigger. A trigger is a named
database object that is associated with a table, and that
activates when a particular event occurs for the table. The
trigger becomes associated with the table named
tbl_name, which must refer to a
permanent table. You cannot associate a trigger with a
TEMPORARY table or a view.
Trigger names exist in the schema namespace, meaning that all triggers must have unique names within a schema. Triggers in different schemas can have the same name.
This section describes
TRIGGER syntax. For additional discussion, see
Section 19.3.1, "Trigger Syntax and Examples".
CREATE TRIGGER requires the
TRIGGER privilege for the table
associated with the trigger. The statement might also require the
SUPER privilege, depending on the
DEFINER value, as described later in this
section. If binary logging is enabled,
TRIGGER might require the
SUPER privilege, as described in
Section 19.7, "Binary Logging of Stored Programs".
DEFINER clause determines the security
context to be used when checking access privileges at trigger
activation time, as described later in this section.
trigger_time is the trigger action
time. It can be
BEFORE or
AFTER to indicate that the trigger activates
before or after each row to be modified.
trigger_event indicates the kind of
operation that activates the trigger. These
trigger_event values are permitted:
INSERT: The trigger activates
whenever a new row is inserted into the table; for example,
LOAD DATA, and
REPLACE statements.
UPDATE: The trigger activates
whenever a row is modified; for example, through
UPDATE statements.
DELETE: The trigger activates
whenever a row is deleted from the table; for example, through
DELETE and
REPLACE statements.
DROP TABLE and
TRUNCATE TABLE statements on
the table do not activate this trigger,
because they do not use
Dropping a partition does not activate
DELETE triggers, either.
trigger_event does not represent a
literal type of SQL statement that activates the trigger so much
as it represents a type of table operation. For example, an
INSERT trigger activates not only
INSERT statements but also
LOAD DATA statements because both
statements insert rows into a table.
A potentially confusing example of this is the
INTO ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ... syntax: a
BEFORE INSERT trigger activates for every row,
followed by either an
AFTER INSERT trigger or
both the
BEFORE UPDATE and
UPDATE triggers, depending on whether there was a
duplicate key for the row.
Cascaded foreign key actions do not activate triggers.
As of MySQL 5.7.2, it is possible to define multiple triggers for
a given table that have the same trigger event and action time.
For example, you cannot have two
triggers for a table. By default, triggers that have the same
trigger event and action time activate in the order they were
created. To affect trigger order, specify a
trigger_order clause that indicates
FOLLOWS or
PRECEDES and the
name of an existing trigger that also has the same trigger event
and action time. With
FOLLOWS, the new trigger
activates after the existing trigger. With
PRECEDES, the new trigger activates before the
existing trigger.
Before MySQL 5.7.2, there cannot be multiple triggers for a given
table that have the same trigger event and action time. For
example, you cannot have two
triggers for a table. But you can have a
UPDATE and a
BEFORE INSERT trigger,
or a
BEFORE UPDATE and an
UPDATE trigger.
trigger_body is the statement to
execute when the trigger activates. To execute multiple
statements, use the
compound statement construct. This also enables you to use the
same statements that are permitted within stored routines. See
Section 13.6.1, "BEGIN ... END Compound-Statement Syntax". Some statements are not permitted in
triggers; see Section D.1, "Restrictions on Stored Programs".
Within the trigger body, you can refer to columns in the subject
table (the table associated with the trigger) by using the aliases
OLD and
OLD. refers
to a column of an existing row before it is updated or deleted.
NEW. refers
to the column of a new row to be inserted or an existing row after
it is updated.
Triggers cannot use
NEW. or use
OLD. to
refer to generated columns. For information about generated
columns, see CREATE TABLE and Generated Columns.
MySQL stores the
sql_mode system
variable setting in effect when a trigger is created, and always
executes the trigger body with this setting in force,
regardless of the current server SQL mode when the
trigger begins executing.
DEFINER clause specifies the MySQL account
to be used when checking access privileges at trigger activation
time. If a
user value is given, it
should be a MySQL account specified as
(the same format used in the
CURRENT_USER, or
CURRENT_USER(). The default
DEFINER value is the user who executes the
CREATE TRIGGER statement. This is
the same as specifying
If you specify the
DEFINER clause, these rules
determine the valid
DEFINER user values:
If you do not have the
privilege, the only permitted
value is your own account, either specified literally or by
CURRENT_USER. You cannot
set the definer to some other account.
If you have the
privilege, you can specify any syntactically valid account
name. If the account does not exist, a warning is generated.
Although it is possible to create a trigger with a nonexistent
DEFINER account, it is not a good idea for
such triggers to be activated until the account actually does
exist. Otherwise, the behavior with respect to privilege
checking is undefined.
MySQL takes the
DEFINER user into account when
checking trigger privileges as follows:
CREATE TRIGGER time, the
user who issues the statement must have the
TRIGGER privilege.
At trigger activation time, privileges are checked against the
DEFINER user. This user must have these
TRIGGER privilege for
the subject table.
SELECT privilege for
the subject table if references to table columns occur
in the trigger body.
UPDATE privilege for
the subject table if table columns are targets of
SET NEW. assignments in
the trigger body.
col_name =
Whatever other privileges normally are required for the statements executed by the trigger.
For more information about trigger security, see Section 19.6, "Access Control for Stored Programs and Views".
Within a trigger body, the
CURRENT_USER() function returns the
account used to check privileges at trigger activation time. This
is the
DEFINER user, not the user whose actions
caused the trigger to be activated. For information about user
auditing within triggers, see
Section 6.3.15, "SQL-Based MySQL Account Activity Auditing".
If you use
LOCK TABLES to lock a
table that has triggers, the tables used within the trigger are
also locked, as described in
Section 188.8.131.52, "LOCK TABLES and Triggers".
For additional discussion of trigger use, see Section 19.3.1, "Trigger Syntax and Examples".

Be careful with BEFORE triggers. Constraints may occur, specifically if you are using InnoDB engine, where an insert will fail, but actions from your BEFORE trigger will succeed.
Use BEFORE triggers primarily for constraints or rules, not transactions, tweaking the NEW.* columns should be fine.
Stick with AFTER triggers for most other operations, such as inserting into a history table or updating a denormalization.

It's not possible to perform a "STOP ACTION" into a TRIGGER. For example, if you're deleting a row and this action activates a trigger, is not possible to abort the proccess of DELETE of the row. A way to abort the current operation, is to cause a deliberated error.

If you've implemented SSL, see...
...you can use Triggers and DES_ENCRYPT to move your password encryption to the database level and enforce it in a way that stops developers forgeting to use it (or bypassing it) with the following triggers...
CREATE TRIGGER user_insert BEFORE INSERT ON `user` FOR EACH ROW SET NEW.TimeStampCreated = NOW(), NEW.Password = DES_ENCRYPT(NEW.Password);
CREATE TRIGGER user_update BEFORE UPDATE ON `user` FOR EACH ROW SET NEW.Password = DES_ENCRYPT(NEW.Password);
...you'll also notice the first one enforces auditing in a way that saves you from relying on developers getting that right as well.
You could give your dev's a nice stored proc to retrieve or comapre their submitted password but hopefully they can remember either DES_ENCRYPT/_DECRYPT or your phone number ;^).
Whilst bearing in mind that this doesn't magically make your entire system "secure" by some magic wave of a wand, given that you've implemented SSL it should be trivial to secure the link between web and database server (if there even is a gap) and then you can use HTTPS and only a little more careful thought to implement a system that is secure from submission page through to backup system in such a way that only someone physically stood at the server with the server's and Mysql's root password could decrypt the password/data.

Another way to "STOP ACTION" is to create a table (stop_action) with just a primary key(reason_to_stop). Then you pre-fill this table with some text ('do not do that', 'or that either')=> to stop action, just do an insert into this table (stop_action) with any of the pre-filled value ('do not do that').

TIP: to create a simple trigger that initializes multiple columns such as DATE type columns when a record is created:
CREATE TRIGGER mytrigger BEFORE INSERT ON TABLE_1 FOR EACH ROW SET NEW.MY_DATETIME_COLUMN = NOW(), NEW.MY_DATE_COLUMN = CURDATE()
Note no END statement nor ending delimiter.

In response to the STOP ACTION simulations:
Luciano Fantuzzi suggested to cause a deliberate error; this might cause problems though.
It was my first approach too in a sanity-check like trigger. It calls a procedure which does the actual check and then assigns either 1 or 0 to @resultBool - 0 meaning it did not pass. In that case i wanted to prevent the INSERT by causing a deliberate error in the form of updating a non-existing table. This is what my attempt looked like:
CREATE TRIGGER sanityCheck
BEFORE INSERT ON someTable
CALL doSanityCheck(@resultBool, @resultMessage);
IF @resultBool = 0 THEN
UPDATE ThereWasAnError_Call_privilegeSanityCheck_ToViewTheError SET ThereWas='an error';
While mysql allows the trigger even though the table doesn't exist, it will _always_ complain (throw an error) when it executes the trigger, even if @resultBool = 1. So, this will not work.
The suggestion of Nicolas LESCURE does work in combination with the IF-statement

On Stop Action problems.
My solution was to create a unique/primary key on the table I want to insert into (in this case on S_ID), then if my sanity check fails I change the s_id to 0. This method will only ever create one duff record with an s_id of 0. Obviously you need to INSERT ignore!
CREATE TRIGGER sanityCheck
BEFORE INSERT ON my_table
IF something THEN

To invoke a shell command from a trigger I used a roundabout approach, write to a predefined folder using trigger code 'select into outfile', and famd to monitor that folder, which triggers a php script.

Continuing on the theme of how to emulate STOP ACTION, I wrote this code:
delimiter $$
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS blocked_insert_message $$
CREATE TABLE blocked_insert_message (
unique_error_msg VARCHAR(330) NOT NULL,
UNIQUE KEY `unique_error_msg` (`unique_error_msg`)
) $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS die_with_error $$
CREATE PROCEDURE die_with_error(msg varchar(300))
COMMENT 'Call this to STOP ACTION with a message.'
DECLARE ts DATETIME DEFAULT NOW();
DECLARE txt VARCHAR(300) DEFAULT msg;
DECLARE uniq VARCHAR(330) DEFAULT (SELECT CONCAT(ts, ': ', txt));
-- Run it twice to throw as an error.
INSERT INTO blocked_insert_message VALUES (uniq);
INSERT INTO blocked_insert_message VALUES (uniq);
delimiter ;
When called from a trigger with "call die_with_error('test test test test');" the result is an error like this:
ERROR 1062 (23000) at line 1: Duplicate entry '2010-11-13 21:30:02: test test test test' for key 'unique_error_msg'
The clear benefit is that the error message will be thrown reliably and contain arbitrary (though short) free text.

Here's how I got it working using signals for raising the error:
delimiter //
use test//
create table trigger_test
id int not null
drop trigger if exists trg_trigger_test_ins //
create trigger trg_trigger_test_ins before insert on trigger_test
for each row
declare msg varchar(255);
if new.id < 0 then
set msg = concat('MyTriggerError: Trying to insert a negative value in trigger_test: ', cast(new.id as char));
signal sqlstate '45000' set message_text = msg;
end if;
delimiter ;
-- run the following as seperate statements:
insert into trigger_test values (1), (-1), (2); -- everything fails as one row is bad
select * from trigger_test;
insert into trigger_test values (1); -- succeeds as expected
insert into trigger_test values (-1); -- fails as expected
select * from trigger_test;

I have discovered something that can be VERY important if you don't know about it. When using INSERT IGNORE, insert triggers are STILL FIRED when a duplicate key constraint prevents new rows from being inserted.

Critter Control has Georgia offices in Atlanta, Savannah
Bobcats have a tendency to cause problems for Georgia homeowners who have domestic pets living outside their Georgia home. Though most bobcats won't attack humans, they will attack small animals. To avoid bobcat problems with your pets, it is best to keep small pets inside at night, when Bobcats are often most active.
Bobcats primarily go near Georgia homes because they are attracted to the food and shelter opportunities nearby. To keep bobcats away from your Georgia home, try to eliminate all food and water sources they may have access to. Similar to feral cats, if bobcats are continuously fed, they will continue to come around your Georgia home. You should also consider blocking off shelter-like areas, like bushes for example, where bobcats may set up a cozy residence.
If you see a bobcat near your Georgia home, it is best to contact the Georgia Critter Control office near your for assistance. Trapping is the most effective bobcat control and removal solution, but for safety precautions, the trapping and removal of bobcats should only be implemented by a professional. If you have a bobcat lurking near your Georgia home and would like a professional to assist with the control and removal of the bobcat, please contact Georgia Critter Control.

Scofield police officer Thomas Nalley lay nine days dying of wounds and then his body spent 111 years at rest in an unmarked grave. While the Utah Law Enforcement Memorial could not change that sad chapter in Carbon County history, it did give Nalley's memory a recognition that will last long into the future.
On Tuesday, representatives of the Carbon County Sheriff's Office and the Naples Police Department dedicated a headstone and paid tribute to the fallen officer in a short ceremony at the Scofield Cemetery.
In his remarks, Naples Police Chief Mark Watkins told the story of Nalley's death in the line of duty. The officer had joined others on a posse to put down a noisy, drunken disturbance in town just before midnight on Oct. 5, 1902. Violence erupted, and Nalley was badly pistol whipped by a man who was later shot and killed by other officers.
Nalley's injuries were so severe that he had to be transported to St. Mark's Hospital in Salt Lake, where he died on Oct. 14. His body was brought back to Scofield, where he was buried.
Those who attended Tueday's ceremony took part in a prayer and observed a moment of silence to recognize their fallen comrade.
Later, Jerry Pope, vice president of the Utah Law Enforcement Memorial, explained that the organization is better than 99 percent certain that the headstone is in the right place. This is based on research of records by Kim Erkkila and the presence of an obliterated monument adjacent to the new one, he said.
The memorial group is organized to find and mark other forgotten graves of Utah's 136 officers killed in the line of duty.

PAWTUCKET --- If Tuesday night's game proved anything, it's that, in baseball, a team should always play until the final out. Whenever a team is considered down and out, as long as three outs haven't been recorded in the last inning, a team can still come out victorious.
Even though their backs were against the wall, it was the Elmwood Sports FisherCats' hearts that prevailed in Tuesday's miraculous victory over the Warwick PAL. The FisherCats certainly saved their best for last, as they scored all three of their runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to defeat Warwick, 3-2.
The win evens the FisherCats' record at 4-4.
The FisherCats' Riley White was the hero in Tuesday's amazing comeback, smashing a game-winning RBI single with two outs in the bottom of the frame. Bryan Quinlan sparked the rally with an RBI single of his own, and he was phenomenal from the hill as well, pitching a complete game and striking out 12 batters.
"It just shows how much heart these guys have." FisherCats head coach Jim LaRose proudly said. "They always fight to the very end, and I will always admire them for that."
This was certainly a pitchers' duel, as both arms were on full display. In addition to Quinlan's solid effort, Warwick pitcher Brian Palerino shined as well. He struck seven batters while pitching a complete game.
Warwick struck in the top of the third. After a couple of mental mistakes in the field by the FisherCats, Warwick's Joe Palidate drove in his team's first run with an RBI single.
However, with Warwick threatening to score more, the FisherCats caught them sleeping on the basepaths. Quinlan and his infield were able to pick off two runners to end Warwick's threat to add to its lead.
Warwick extended its lead in the top of the fifth. The FisherCats tried to pick off another runner, this time on third base, but due to a wild throw, the visitors were able to double their lead.
The FisherCats had plenty of opportunities to score throughout the game, but due to two key double plays turned by Warwick in the fourth and sixth innings, the hosts came up scoreless.
But with the game on the line, the FisherCats' determination and perseverance paid off. After three walks were followed by two quick outs, Quinlan came through with his run-scoring single. Then after a bases-loaded walk, White completed the remarkable comeback with his RBI single to right field.
Despite the victory, LaRose knows his team has to improve and play a complete game of baseball if they plan to continue to compete.
"Execution is really important for us to improve upon," LaRose said. "These young guys are learning, and we can really be successful if we can play an entire game."

Spanning more than 12,000 square miles at the crossroads of India, Myanmar, and China, this vast landscape encompasses four protected areas. It's one of the region's largest remaining expanses of natural forest. The remote, unexplored forests are home to a variety of wildlife, including tigers, bears, elephants, gibbons, red pandas, and hornbills. This landscape also contains Myanmar's highest mountain and the headwaters of the Irrawaddy and the Chindwin, the country's most important river system, sustaining extensive rice farming that supports many local communities.
Since 2002, WCS-Myanmar researchers have been using camera traps to conduct the first-ever scientific population estimate for tigers in northern Myanmar. They also surveyed other smaller, lesser-known carnivores. This work has helped our scientists formulate conservation strategies for the country's wildlife.
WCS currently works on long-term natural resource management with local communities, balancing human needs with the preservation of the landscape. Training in sustainable land use and community forestry gives local residents the tools to make a living while protecting their natural environment.
WCS recruits local residents as conservation allies through environmental education centers, mobile education teams, and even wildlife movie screenings that showcase the region's natural treasures. Strong partnerships with the community are an essential part of the quest to protect this marvelous and wild landscape for future generations.
As Myanmar transitions to peace after years of internal conflict, WCS President and CEO Cristián Samper, who visited the country earlier this year, writes on the importance of balancing development with natural resource conservation efforts.
The Myanmar government creates a Protected Tiger Area as large as Vermont in the country's northern forests. The Hukaung Valley Tiger Reserve provides sanctuary to a wide range of species, from big cats to small birds, along with many rare plants.
As the world celebrates the Year of the Tiger, WCS assesses tiger habitat and populations across eight priority landscapes in Asia with a color-coded report.

BUFFALO, NY - Buffalo Sabres' defenseman Tyler Myers will miss the remainder of the 2013 season with an injury.
The Sabres say Myers suffered a broken bone in his leg during Thursday's game against the Montreal Canadiens.
The Canadiens beat the Sabres 5-1.
Danny Briere returns to Buffalo on Saturday as the slumping Philadelphia Flyers take on the not-so-hot Sabres in a game that may be more for pride than a realistic shot at the playoffs for both teams. The puck drops at First Niagara Center at 3 p.m.

This time next week, dear readers, you'll hopefully find us dancing around Indio's Empire Polo Field as we catch Amy Winehouse, perhaps, or Tokyo Police Club at this year's Coachella music festival. Since we are scary fair right now, we thought it might be time to check in one the latest developments in the sun protection world. As always, there's a dizzying array of products and information, so for clarification and guidance we turned to an expert with perfect skin-Eva Chen. Chen, the Beauty Director of Teen Vogue, graciously shared details on some of the best products (new and old) around. For more of Chen's current obsessions, check out her awesome Beauty Blog.
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock SPF 70, $9.60, drugstore.com
"For hardcore sizzling-in-the-sun type of exposure, I use Neutrogena's SPF 70. They have their own, patented ingredient, Helioplex, that also offers full spectrum protection against UVA/UVB. The formulas are feather-light and melt into your skin. You won't have that zebra-white-striped-skin look!"
Frederic Fekkai Summer Hair line, $20 each, sephora.com
"Fekkai has a simply divine new line of SPF summer hair products. They're very St. Tropez chic-I love their bright orange packaging!"
Clarins Sun Wrinkle Control Eye Contour Care SPF 30, $24.50, sephora.com
"The eyes, I'm sad to report, are the first place to go in terms of aging. On holiday, I always make sure to bring Clarins' SPF eye cream with me. It's gentle enough even for contact lens wearers and can be applied on the upper and lower lid. Saggy eyelids? No thanks!"
Anthelios SX SPF 15, $29, dermstore.com
"In years past, every trip to Paris involved smuggling an inordinate amount of Anthelios sunscreen back in. It contains magical Mexoryl-the sunscreen of all sunscreens! [Mexoryl is an organic sunscreen that has the highest effectiveness against UVA rays.] Thankfully, the sunscreen is now available stateside, albeit in a weaker form. If I'm just getting incidental sun, I use Anthelios."
Juice Beauty SPF Tinted Lip Moisturizers, $15 for three, sephora.com
"I adore Juice Beauty's tinted lip balms because they stain lips with that "just had a cherry popsicle" look. They also contain SPF 15, which is important because dermatologists say that lips are one of the most common places to get skin cancer (eek). These Juice Beauty products are not only pretty but also protect-what could be better?"
[WWWD note: Juice Beauty products are also organic, which is cool.]

Murray, Utah
PCI Compliant
XMission is PCI DSS SAQ Certified
Murray, Utah
What is the PCI DSS?
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was developed by the PCI Security Standards Council many years ago to provide "an actionable framework for developing a robust account data security process - including preventing, detecting and reacting to security incidents." While the credit card industry outlines policies and procedures specifically intended to handle credit card security, the best practices required for compliancy extend well beyond keeping customer credit card data safe.
Why is XMission PCI Compliant?
Since XMission processes thousands of customer credit cards every month, we have been maintaining PCI compliancy for years. As a hosting and colocation provider, XMission is required to complete the most rigorous SAQ (Self-Assessment Questionnaire) validation, Type 5: SAQ v2 D.
Why does it matter?
The PCI Data Security Standard and supporting documents represent a common set of industry tools and measurements to help ensure the safe handling of sensitive information. To reduce the risk of compromise and mitigate its impacts if it does occur, it is important that all entities storing, processing, or transmitting cardholder data be compliant.
Post-mortem compromise analysis has shown common security weaknesses that are addressed by PCI DSS, but were not in place in the organizations when the compromises occurred. PCI DSS was designed and includes detailed requirements for exactly this reason—to minimize the chance of compromise and the effects if a compromise does occur.
What does this mean for XMission customers?
Note that while XMission's compliancy is likely essential for your colocated and hosted servers to earn compliancy, you must still complete your own PCI DSS SAQ if you process credit cards in our data center to satisfy the requirements of your merchant bank. Documents, including a copy of the SAQ are available here .
For more information about PCI DSS, refer to the PCI Security Standards Council website .

prev | next
(1) having taken an oath before a competent tribunal, officer, or person, in any case in which a law of the United States authorizes an oath to be administered, that he will testify, declare, depose, or certify truly, or that any written testimony, declaration, deposition, or certificate by him subscribed, is true, willfully and contrary to such oath states or subscribes any material matter which he does not believe to be true; or
(2) in any declaration, certificate, verification, or statement under penalty of perjury as permitted under section 1746 of title 28, United States Code, willfully subscribes as true any material matter which he does not believe to be true;
is guilty of perjury and shall, except as otherwise expressly provided by law, be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both. This section is applicable whether the statement or subscription is made within or without the United States.

Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §§ 231, 629 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, § 125,35 Stat. 1111; June 15, 1917, ch. 30, title XI, § 19,40 Stat. 230).
Words "except as otherwise expressly provided by law" were inserted to avoid conflict with perjury provisions in other titles where the punishment and application vary.
More than 25 additional provisions are in the code. For construction and application of several such sections, see Behrle v. United States (App. D.C. 1938, 100 F. 2d 714), United States v.

Mandatory punishment provisions were rephrased in the alternative.
Minor verbal changes were made.
1994—Pub. L. 103–322substituted "fined under this title" for "fined not more than $2,000" in concluding provisions.
1976—Pub. L. 94–550divided existing provisions into a single introductory word "Whoever", par. (1), and closing provisions following par. (2), and added par. (2).
1964—Pub. L. 88–619inserted at end "This section is applicable whether the statement or subscription is made within or without the United States."

Selena Gomez may have been singing "Slow Down," but what she did was fall down.
The singer hit the stage in Fairfax, Virginia over the weekend ... literally ... after she accidentally jumped off the main stage during her show and landed on her butt.
The fall happens around the 3:25 mark.
She quickly got back up again, with the help of some front-row fans, but could be heard making a slight scream over the song.
While her mic picked up her startled reaction to falling, her voice was also heard still singing the track -- prompting a ton of YouTube comments saying Selena lip syncs during her concert.
So, what's going on here?
Chances are she was just singing along to a backing track, something very common for pop stars ... especially ones who dance.
What do you think? Sound off below!

|Major Drug Importer Sentenced in US Court
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 05 December 2012 16:04
A major Methamphetamine trafficker was sentenced today in a case that involved a Wilkes man and a Yadkin County resident. Cesar Sierro-Pineda, 34, of Mexico, was sentenced to life in prison by U.S. District Court Judge Richard L. Voorhees today for his role in a methamphetamine trafficking conspiracy,
announced Anne M. Tompkins, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina. U.S. Attorney Tompkins is joined in making today's announcement by a host of federal and regional law enforcement, including Wilkes Sheriff Chris Shew and Sheriff Phillip Redmond of the Iredell County Sheriff's Office. According to filed court documents and court proceedings, Sierro-Pineda, who was also known as "El Chocado," was a distributor for the Mexican drug cartel. From November 2010 through February 2011, Sierro-Pineda imported into the United States from Mexico near-pure crystal methamphetamine, also known as "ice." The defendant also cooked the methamphetamine in an informal "superlab" in his home in Duluth, Ga., court records show. A superlab is a laboratory capable of producing 10 or more pounds of methamphetamine in a single production cycle. Four other defendants have been sentenced in connection with the case:
Hildeberto Gonzalez-Chavez, 32, of Mexico, pleaded guilty on July 28, 2011, and was sentenced on October 2, 2012, to 168 months in prison, followed by five years of supervised release.
Edgar Santana, 23, of Atlanta, Ga., pleaded guilty on August 11, 2011, and was sentenced on October 2, 2012, to 33 months in prison, followed by two years of supervised release.
Henry Clay Randleman, 56, of Ronda, N.C., pleaded guilty on May 18, 2011, and was sentenced on December 12, 2012, to 120 months in prison, followed by five years of supervised release.
Jason Scott Holbrook, 35, of Hamptonville, N.C., pleaded guilty on June 3, 2011, and was sentenced on January 9, 2012, to 78 months in prison, followed by five years of supervised release.

A great sounding ribbon mic that you can use with any preamp regardless of its gain.
The Woodpecker Active Ribbon Microphone from Blue is one of the most interesting and beautiful microphones you'll ever lay eyes or ears on. With a stunning exotic wood finish and unique active circuitry, beneath its gorgeous exterior, the Woodpecker is a precision-crafted recording tool. Combines the low noise and superb detail of Blue's renowned Class-A discrete handmade electronics with the bold sound of a hand-tuned aluminum ribbon pressure-gradient transducer.
The Woodpecker microphone was designed to provide the smooth, intimate sound associated with the most sought-after vintage ribbon microphones. With its focused mid-range, and outstanding bass response, the Woodpecker mic captures the essence of any recorded sound. It also excels at ambient recording and capturing room tone with the most intimate detail - whether for rock drums, guitars or vocals - any application where some natural space in the recording is desired.
Usually, ribbon mics require preamps with at least 60-70dB of gain. Not so with the Woodpecker. Its active design allows you to use it with any preamp, so you don't have to replace yours in order to have the acknowledged musicality of a ribbon transducer.
The Woodpecker microphone package includes a custom made, solid brass shockmount and wood storage box.
Record with the inherent musicality of ribbon mics as only Blue Microphones can deliver.

Comments about Blue Woodpecker Active Ribbon Microphone:
Short review: The other guy who wrote a review was a weirdo,so just a down to earth understandable review: Did some tracks with vocals and it was very accurate and not as sensitive as i've read it to be by any means. Recorded it with a delta blues amp from a few feet back at a low level and it sounded very nice and clear with a definite punctuation on the mid-range. Very high quality and a very good mic that is definitely worth trying out. Only reason this is not all 5's is because this is not a "one mic and i'm done" microphone. definitely worth a shot, though.
Comments about Blue Woodpecker Active Ribbon Microphone:
I have been recording with this mic for about a year, mainly for male vocal. I find the tonal characteristics to be a bit boxy but somehow alluring compared to my goto Rode NTK. This is a very hot mic. It would be great for ambient recording as it picks up every whisper in the room. The first mic I received was in pieces when I opened the box. I later found a small screw that apparently had fallen out in transit. The support staff at Blue were very helpful and courteous. They restored my faith in my purchase. The look and feel is a mixed bag. The wood and gold are cool, but somewhat cheesy. All that glitters is not gold. But I am a fool...I am glad to have this mic in my locker. It has a unique character and I hope to find a good use for it soon. I have been experimenting with using it in conjunction with with other vocal mics and mixing for effect. I have not yet used it on acoustic instruments, but it's on my radar. All in all I am pleased to own this unique bird.

"Great for Power Chewers"
Bought this for our 50lb Cattle Dog mix who normally powers through bones and rawhide in under an hour. After spending hours a day chewing on the bone for the past month, maybe 3 inches are gone from the overall length. I will definitely be purchasing another when when she eventually wears it down.

The Warrior Covert DT1 hockey stick is the premier hockey stick in the Covert line. The Covert DT1 hockey stick is a True 1-piece stick that features Warriors Dagger Taper® Technology for an extremely low-kick point. Several advanced materials were used in the blade to make them more durable and have longer "pop" life.
The Covert DT1 ia a True1 piece stick and is wrapped with the highest grade carbon fibers, making the Covert DT1 unbelievably balanced and lightweight. Warrior wrapped the carbon fibers in a tight X stitch weave making this stick very durable. Warriors Dagger Taper® Technology is featured on the Covert DT1 providing an extremely low-kickpoint for an amazingly quick release. The taper is thinner at the top to provide maximum loading while the bottom of the taper is wider to provide less torque for a more accurate and powerful shot.
The Covert DT1 hockey stick has a blade that is constructed out of several advanced materials allowing it to perform at the highest levels. The Hardcore X foam blade core is the lightest blade core Warrior has used and it has 60% higher compression resistance while being 40% stronger than any core used before. Two carbon fiber Twinspar stringers run the length of the blade providing reinforcement to the core and increase the bend strength by 40%. The Aramid Sole design utilizes super tough fibers used in bullet proof vests to increase impact toughness on the bottom of the blade. A carbon-plated glass fiber resists cracking and chipping while being 40% stronger adding more pop.
- Heritage: New
- Level of Player: Ideal for the advance to pro level player
- Construction: True one-piece
- Shaft Dimensions: Rounded corners/Straight sidewalls

- Saves weight
- A tight X stitch weave of high grade carbon fibers provide great durability and strength
- Flex Profile:
- Dagger Taper Technology:
- Features an aggressive 12-inch taper from the hosel to the shaft for increased lower flex on all shots
- The top side of the taper is thinner for more flex and the bottom portion on the taper is wider for less torque providing a more accurate shot
- This loads and releases the shaft and blade together for more flex and better pop on slap shots, snap shots and wrist shots
- Geometry:
- Straight sidewalls with rounded corners
- Grip:
- Clear gloss finish
- Raised diamond print grip
- Blade:
- Hardcore X foam core

- Carbonized blade
- Carbon-plated glass fiber resists cracking and chipping
- 40% stronger and adds stiffness
- Flex: 75, 85, and 100
- Length: 63"
Comments: This stick is incredibly light and extremely durable. I have broken numerous sticks from Easton, Bauer and others. Almost immediately after removing the tape from the blade, most sticks lose their finish. Not this guy. Whatever they wrap the blade in is ultra durable. Oh yeah, this stick allows me to take SICK shots!!!
From: Michael, New York, NY
Comments: This stick is amazing warrior did an outstanding job with this stick for starters the weight is incredible the dagger tapper making this stick an extremly low kick stick is unblevieible I feel like every time I use the stick it still has pop and in all feels like a new stick. I love how warrior also used a true piece molding aspect on the whole convert line (except for the DT2). This stick is just amazing 10/10!
From: Tarek
Comments: Flex: 100 Pattern: Burrows (PM9) Finish: Grip Aesthetics Very simplistic design with a nice finish. Still waiting for the special edition blue (Burrows)! 8/10 Blade/Stickhandling/Receiving Passes To me, the puck feel was slightly above average. It wasnÕt that great dampened effect, but it wasnÕt so hard either. It had an overall nice feel for stickhandling. I admit, this is one area that I am really strict about so I may be tougher than others, but I am spoiled by the ONE95, so anything less will have an inferior rating. 8/10 Shaft/Flex The flex of the Covert DT1 seems to be whippier than advertised. I would estimate that after cutting the Covert DT1 down about 3-4 inches that the flex feels to be about an 82-85. So if you are used to an Easton 85 or a Bauer 87, then I would go with the Covert DT1 in 100. The dagger taper definitely makes a noticeable difference when shooting. The stick is also comfortable in the hands, especially with the grip. 8.5/10 Shooting If you are used to a mid-kick stick then the Covert DT1 will take a little getting used to, but it is worth it. The release and power distribution is very nice with the aggressive taper near the blade. Snapshots and wristshots are quicker to get used to than slapshots, but again, once you hone your shot, you will be pleased. Again, I want to stress the importance of flex hereÉI would certainly try a higher flex than normal in this stick, especially due to the aggressive taper. 8/10 Weight and Balance The weight and balance of this stick was very nice. They added a longer shaft intentionally, but cutting that down did not make a noticeable difference in the balance of the stick. I would say the balance is of a top-tier stick and the weight is also right in line with comparable models. 9/10 Durability The durability of the Covert DT1 is far better than that of the Widow. I have had one pingy shaft issue that Warrior replaced for me right away, but otherwise they have been very good. 8/10 Conclusion Overall I would say that the Covert DT1 is a nice stick with many nice features, most notably the graphics, balance and kickpoint. It is a much better construction than the Widow and is a great overall option. 9/10 player reference: 6'0 / 165lbs / A League (3x/week)

Dear Bob,
Do you still recommend Swiss annuities? Do we have to report them to the Internal Revenue Service beginning June 30, 2012? An IRS tax consultant I talked to said I do. The IRS tax consultant also said I owe an excise tax on the Swiss annuity. If this is correct, do you have any information on how to figure that or know someone who does?
John Hansen
Dear John Hansen,
Yes, I still recommend Swiss annuities. There is no excise tax required to be paid. Congress tried to have that inserted in the bill, but it was removed. The IRS requires the reporting, but the annuity company is not required to disclose it.
Best wishes,

Final Score: Mets 9 Giants 1
The Mets (52-54) defeated the Giants (56-49) by the score of 9-1 today in San Francisco.
The Least You Should Know:
Chris Young started for the Mets and allowed a run on four hits in seven innings for his third win of the season.
Jason Bay delivered a two-run single in the first inning.
David Wright reached base three times today – his on-base percentage is now .427 for the year.
The Mets scored four runs with two outs int he first inning.
Ronny Cedeno drove in five runs (which matched a career-high) and went 3-for-4 on the afternoon.
Scott Hairston singled and scored two runs, and is now hitting .310 against left-handed pitching this season.
The Mets were 6-for-11 with runners in scoring position, left six runners on base, and scored eight of their nine runs with two outs.
For a full recap and box score, check out SNY's In-Game Live.
Michael Baron, ContributorAfter what the Mets did offensively last night, today felt very refreshing. They got on the board quickly against Barry Zito, hitting him for four runs in the first inning – all with two outs – and set the tone for a very smooth afternoon. What's more, they tacked on a few runs thanks to key RBI from Daniel Murphy and Scott Hairston in the fifth inning. They hit with runners in scoring position and most of their base runners ended up scoring – that usually results in success, as was the case today.
It was nice of Bay to show up to today's game. He delivered immediately with a two-run single in the first inning, and contributed towards the cause for a change. Look, as long as Bay is on the team, I am going to root for him. Considering he busts his butt out there, I really want Bay to succeed and really want him to provide any positive contribution he can. Hopefully he can build on today's game – it could not have been much worse for him.
Chris Young got back to what makes him successful by establishing the upper half of the strike zone with his fastball. He has struggled so badly to locate his fastball up in the zone as of late, but he did a nice job of doing so today. That got him quick outs which in turn kept his pitch count down and the bullpen out of the game in the middle innings. So much has been made about his struggles in the middle innings of many of his outings, and I buy into both the fatigue and familiarity factor with Young in that part of the game. But his biggest challenge has been his ability to locate his fastball. Period. Given the velocity on his fastball, he must have his command from start to finish regardless of the pitch count – he will get hit hard if that is absent. He did that today all while maintaining his stamina for seven strong innings.
In general, the Mets have looked a lot better on this road trip. They have still had bouts of ugliness from all angles, but wins are wins, and they got three in a very difficult ballpark for road teams to win. They are now 5-3 on this west coast swing with three more in San Diego this weekend. As they did earlier in the season, the Mets have to take care of the Padres, finish this road trip on a positive note, and get back to .500 for the trip home on Sunday night.
W.B. Mason Post Game Extra
The Mets open a three-game series with the Padres tomorrow night at Petco Park, with R.A. Dickey facing Clayton Richard at 10:05 PM ET.

Indonesia may complain to WTO over EU biodiesel antidumping investigation
May 3, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
The EU antidumping investigation into biodiesel imports from Indonesia could provoke a complaint by Indonesia to the World Trade Organization (WTO; Geneva), according to Indonesian media reports. The European Commission decided earlier this year to track biodiesel imports from Argentina and Indonesia as part of an antidumping investigation, as previously reported by CW. The investigation's preliminary results are expected to be published this month. Indonesia subsidizes the biodiesel industry for domestic use but not for export, says Paulus Tjakrawan...

Respro Hi Viz Vegas Hump Red £45.99
Versatile upgrade for rucksacks and panniers - a shame it's not machine washable though
Weight 325g Contact www.myhump.co.uk
Previous Review
Next Review
Essentially two products in one, its easy to see why the Respro Hi Viz Vegas hump red could become something of an institution amongst urban warriors.
It boasts a hardy, weatherproof construction and eye catching designs. There's no denying the eye-scorching day glow orange, Scotchlite and LED strips are an extremely powerful combination but the latter precludes machine washing should winter sludge and grime start taking over.
Essentially we have a waterproof nylon rucksack cover with taped seams and elasticated corners capable of accommodating most backpacks and single twenty litre panniers via elasticated strips with click-fix closures. The battery pack resides unobtrusively within an integral pocket and feeds from three AAA cells.
The switch is easier to operate than previous incarnations-especially in gloved hands but without being prone to accidental engagement. Flashing is default, pressing again selects a warm pulsing with steady being last on the line. Ninety hours is what's quoted for pulsing, depending on cell quality - near enough three months of commutes and we've managed 84, 78 and 33 in the real world using premium grade batteries.
Acres of Scotchlite graphics and parallel lines running to the bottom mean there's no danger of rucksack devotees falling off the radar when hunkered low on the drops. Standalone blinkeys can always ride shotgun on the mesh pocket's elasticated collar.
Inclement weather with some hose-pipe testing for good measure haven't revealed any obvious weak spots. However, we're not in submersible, river crossing territory and some Vaseline on the battery contacts is a very sensible precaution.
Versatile upgrade for rucksacks and panniers - a shame it's not machine washable though.

"The Respro® Hump™ backpack cover is a simple and unique product that performs several functions at the same time.
It fits over an existing backpack and fastens around its waist. It also features an elasticated edge that grips the backpack stopping it from flapping around".
Louder than Elvis' jumpsuits and a worthy addition to the range.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
Waterproof dayglow orange nylon cover boasting taped seams, Scotchlite detailing and 8 LEDS for retina tickling safety. Easily attaches to host luggage via nylon straps wih click-fix closures.
Simple to use, easily folded away when not required.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Respro High Viz Vegas hump is essentially two products in one, greatly improving the water repellence of budget Codura/Nylon panniers and rucksacks while maximising rider visibility. Regardless of luggage type, friends in approaching cars saythey could see me around 350 metres through December's morning murk and around similar distances come nightfall. However, much of this credit seems to lie with the orange and Scotchlite piping, flickering LEDs playing a distinctly tertiary role and occasionally rendered impotent amongst competing seasonal town centre neon.

I found that many senior developers refuse to do paper exams in interviews. They regard the exam as a kind of humiliation, because they think that "They don't trust my programming ability even if I have five years working experience... only junior staff need take a paper exam...".
However, Joel insists:
11. Do new candidates write code during their interview?
Would you hire a magician without asking them to show you some magic tricks? Of course not.
Is it justifiable if a senior developer refuses to take a paper exam in an interview?

|Town Rejects County Meeting Format
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 12 April 2013 14:35
The saga continues this afternoon, as the Town of Boone is apparently rejecting the county's format to meet and discuss issues that will kill the sale of the Old Watauga High property. In an email this afternoon under Mayor Loretta Clawson's stationary, the letter reads,
"the Town has received the unwelcome news that the County has rejected their invitation to participate in a mediation to try to resolve the County's threat to sue the Town. We are very disappointed. Although the County says it is relying on the opinion of the County Attorney, we think it is ironic that mediation in parallel closed sessions was exactly the way the Town and County settled their differences over the landfill when Stacy Eggers, Jr. was County Attorney. The Town disagrees with the County's legal analysis. We hope the County will reconsider and that the Commissioners will also reconsider their threat of legal action and the change in the sales tax." Watauga Commission chairman Nathan Miller said earlier this week that the mayor's assertion that an open meeting would be a 'circus' was 'unfortunate,' and that the county would conduct its business in the open.
