Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony will open their 20th season together on Sept. 3 at Davies Symphony Hall with a Gala event. Bonnie Raitt will sing songs associated with her late father, Broadway singer John Raitt. Pianist Yuja Wang will solo in Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue." And the orchestra will offer Stravinsky's "Circus Polka," a ballet for 50 elephants, whose digital images will dance across a giant video screen above the musicians.
"It's amazing for me, here in San Francisco," said Tilson Thomas, the orchestra's conductor and music director. "We've lived through so much together -- 20 years, and we're still in this good place. I love it. It's very much for me about having this experience with the musicians, and that we continue to bring this message to our audience."
Details of the orchestra's 103rd season were announced today.
The dozens of programs also include:
Tilson Thomas will lead the orchestra on a 20th anniversary tour in November 2014, including a stop at Carnegie Hall. And he will bring the London Symphony Orchestra -- he is its principal guest conductor -- to Davies as part of the Great Performances Series, March 22-23, 2015.
That series also will include the Rotterdam Philharmonic conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, with pianist Hélène Grimaud (Feb. 15-16, 2015); the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra led by Myung Whun-Chung (April 19, 2015); and John Eliot Gardiner with his English Baroque Soloists performing Monteverdi's "L'Orfeo" (April 27, 2015).
The season includes the return of guest conductors Herbert Blomstedt (the orchestra's conductor laureate), Semyon Bychkov, Charles Dutoit, Pablo Heras-Casado and Esa-Pekka Salonen, among others. There will be the usual slew of star soloists including these pianists: Leif Ove Andsnes, Jonathan Biss, Yefim Bronfman, Kirill Gerstein and Garrick Ohlsson, not to mention the five who will play at Tilson Thomas's birthday party.
Eight members of the San Francisco Symphony will perform as soloists during the season.
Also, Tilson Thomas's fascination with multi-media will continue to bear fruit. Composer Thomas Adès will conduct his own "In Seven Days," described as "a concerto for piano with moving image" by video artist Tal Rosner (March 5-7, 2015). Tilson Thomas will lead a performance of John Cage's "Renga" that includes video, choreography and narration (May 16, 2016). And the Beethoven Festival will include a multi-media, semi-staged production of the Missa solemnis, directed by Michael Levine and featuring video design by Finn Ross (June 10-13, 2015).
The subscription series is loaded with tempting programs. One led by Tilson Thomas arrives early, Sept. 25-28, 2014, featuring the orchestra, chorus and these works: Lukas Foss's "Then the Rocks on the Mountain Began to Shout," Charles Ives's "Three Places in New England," Johann Strauss's "By the Beautiful Blue Danube Waltz," György Ligeti's "Lux aeterna" and Richard Strauss's "Also sprach Zarathustra." (You may know those last three works from film director Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey.")
Here's another good one, also led by Tilson Thomas, Feb. 26-March 1, 2015: Brahms's Violin Concerto in D major (with soloist Anne-Sophie Mutter); Alaska-based maverick composer John Luther Adams' "The Light that Fills the World"; and Schumann's Symphony No. 1. The season also includes Nino Rota's score to "The Godfather" (Jan. 9-10, 2015), one of 15 works that the orchestra will perform for the first time. Also among the 15 will be three works -- San Francisco Symphony co-commissions -- by young composers Cynthia Lee Wong, Zosha di Castri and Samuel Adams.
I spoke last week to Tilson Thomas, who commented on many aspects of the season. Here's part of our interview:
Q Michael, this is your 20th season and you're turning 70; those are landmark numbers. Congratulations.
A Thanks, you're the first person to say that! It's really taken me totally by surprise. I don't feel tremendously different. I still feel the love and curiosity for the music I get to make. It's really the same.
Q Tell me about you and Bonnie Raitt. You're friends?
A Yes, for a long time, and I have such an appreciation of what she does. Oh my God, she's just such an artist. And there's the tradition she comes from, what her dad did -- I'm an omnivore when it comes to songs and American songs, especially. She comes to our (San Francisco Symphony) concerts, and then we also have fun hanging out and singing through bits and pieces of golden oldies, the wonders of yesterday.
Q Like what?
A How about "New York's a Lonely Town (When You're the Only Surfer Boy Around)"? (The Trade Winds had a Top 40 hit with that one in 1965.)
Q There's such a terrific focus on American composers next season. How come? It harks back to your first years with the orchestra and the original American Mavericks Festival.
A I guess there's a certain renewed doffing of the hat to that time. This music is still very important to me, and this new process of introducing new composers is important, too. And I like that it's connected with the opening of SoundBox, which is a sort of laboratory in which a lot of new music can be done. It's going to be a wonderful place for the musicians of the orchestra, for young composers working with multi-media. The collaborations that come out of that will have a resonance and a bearing on what goes on in Davies in the future, as well."
Q It's neat to watch the emergence of Samuel Adams, who's only 28 and already quite a composer. The fact that he and his dad, John Adams, both live in the East Bay and are composing for the San Francisco Symphony -- has this sort of thing ever happened before with a major orchestra?
A Not in my musical lifetime. I think you'd have to go pretty far back. I don't know if there were any occasions when Wolfgang Mozart and Leopold Mozart wrote something for the same orchestra, or if the Gabrielli brothers or the Bach family did it. I don't know!
Q Tell me about John Cage's "Renga."
A It's a new version which I've had in my mind for some time. John wrote it in 1976 to commemorate the (U.S.) Bicentennial. Basically, it's a very interesting kit from which it is possible for many different performances to emerge.
I was at the premiere, sitting with John, and the score says it was written for the Bicentennial, but that it could (also) be used to commemorate the memory of a great artist. So I joked to him that one of these days I might do the piece as a memorial to him, and that's kind of what's happening.
Q You've been doing a lot of Beethoven, and that continues with next season's festival.
A I've been focusing on Beethoven all over again, but this time we're presenting different perspectives on the music. The last time we did Missa solemnis, I'd wanted to do something around some kind of (video and lighting) installation, but there wasn't time.
Q How will it work next season?
A It has a lot of moving parts, but basically the piece will be deployed in the hall ... with light and other elements to create atmosphere which will allow people to separate out the different things happening in the piece. It's so dense; everything is on top of everything else. And yet there are very specific references to the way time passes, referring to the many different speeds at which the text is being set, or it veers off into an allusion to music of the 15th or 16th century. It's moving around, and I have an idea about how to make it clearer to the audience.
Q Re-creating the 1808 marathon concert is a great idea: Symphonies 5 and 6, the fourth piano concerto, they were all part of it, and others pieces, too. How long will it take?
A Three or four hours. There will be two different orchestras, both the size of an orchestra that Beethoven would have had.
A lot of people have spoken to me about this over the years: "I've read about this event, but I've never actually experienced it." It's an unbelievable experience, hearing these enormous pieces, some of the most famous pieces that exist. They were written for this one concert, which is hard to imagine.
Q You're also doing "Fidelio," with the amazing Swedish soprano Nina Stemme. You're a fan?
A Oh, yeah. I was totally knocked out by the "Ring" she did here (at San Francisco Opera in 2011).

Landmark Buildings You Can Invest in
Empire State won't be a sure winner. The building is in the midst of hundreds of millions of dollars in critical, overdue renovations. It is currently only two-thirds filled, mostly with small and midsize tenants, whose rents are far below the average for midtown Manhattan. The building houses no notable corporate headquarters or major investment companies.
Still, from a bragging-rights perspective, the opportunity to say you own a piece of this legendary building is intriguing. Turns out that there are a bunch of other landmarks, foreign or American, that you can own through REITs, regular stocks or the American depositary receipts of overseas-based companies. Here, besides King Kong's cinematic aerie on 34th Street, are 11 investor-owned landmarks, listed by property name and in alphabetical order.

Churchill Downs
Jarrett Campbell
Own it by investing in: Churchill Downs Inc. (symbol CHDN)
Price: $56.02
The company owns the namesake racetrack that's hosted the Kentucky Derby since 1875. Churchill Downs is the cornerstone of a gambling and racing mini empire that includes tracks in Chicago, Miami and New Orleans, and a casino in Mississippi. The stock doesn't keep pace with the faster horses, but the Churchill Downs company did just raise its annual dividend by 20%, to $0.60. The company is trying to persuade the state of Kentucky to let it install a casino at its hometown horse track, which might turn a buck or two given that 150,000 people show up every May for the Derby. Churchill Downs already has slots at tracks in Florida and Louisiana.

Coors Brewery
Own it by investing in: Molson Coors Brewing Co. (symbol TAP)
Price: $42.87
Yield: 3.0%
The world's mass-market brewers are busily swallowing one another (or chugging them, we should say), with the combination of Coors and Molson now owning 42% of a joint venture with Miller's brands in the U.S. The mass beer business has been flat, but brewers are scrambling to raise prices and cut costs, so Coors's stock could be a good, though speculative, investment. The Coors complex in the historic town of Golden, west of Denver, is both a landmark and a tourist mecca. Plus, if you are a certain age, you might recall when baby-boomer college kids crossed the country in Pintos and Chevelles to haul cases out of Colorado, when Coors was a cult beverage with only local distribution.

Country Club Plaza
Own it by investing in: Highwoods Properties (symbol HIW)
Price: $32.54
Yield: 5.2%
In the 1920s this warren of Spanish-style architecture and high-class shopping and dining emerged as America's first car-oriented suburban shopping center. Many early retail hubs fell victim to urban decay and suburban sprawl, but not the Plaza, which is still both an icon of city planning and a thriving business district. Highwoods is a North Carolina–based REIT that mainly owns office buildings in the South. It merged with the Plaza's former owners in 1998 and takes good care of this treasure. Highwoods has just acquired another unique urban gem, PPG Place in Pittsburgh.

Disney World and Disneyland
Disney World/Land Chensiyuan
Own it by investing in: Walt Disney Co. (symbol DIS)
Yield: 1.4%
If you visit a Disney theme park, you'll eventually tire of the endless promotions for Disney films and other Disney brands, such as ABC and ESPN, plus the overwhelming displays of sweatshirts and stuffed animals. But there's no gainsaying the fact that the smiling visitors who pay a pretty penny or euro or yen to hang out with Mickey and pals can get additional satisfaction by buying a piece of the whole enterprise instead of just souvenirs. Helped by ESPN and movies, Disney generates solid long-term growth and lately has been raising its dividends sharply -- by 50% last year. Plus, the company has little debt.

8 Spruce Street (aka New York by Gehry)
Own it by investing in: Forest City Enterprises (symbol FCE)
Price: $14.86
Yield: 0%
At 76 floors and 870 feet, this new building in lower Manhattan is America's tallest residential structure. Monthly rents range from $3,725 for studios to $12,050 for three-bedroom units 55 stories up or higher. Besides the view and the location, the building has the cachet of having been designed by architect Frank Gehry, whose remarkable works include the Disney concert hall in Los Angeles and the Guggenheim art museum in Bilbao, Spain. Forest City is a development company (not a REIT) with an affinity for tall buildings, including its headquarters building, the Terminal Tower in Cleveland, a 1920s tower that's the one of the tallest in the Midwest outside Chicago.

First Canadian Place
Hal Jackey
Own it by investing in: Brookfield Office Properties (symbol BPO)
Price: $17.62
Yield: 3.2%
Frank Gehry was born in Toronto (he also designed the city's striking art museum), but he sure didn't create this pedestrian-looking bank tower. Nevertheless it ranks as Canada's tallest building (not the tallest structure; the nearby CN Tower is higher) and recently underwent a $100 million renovation to make it greener and cover the old marble exterior that reportedly made Torontonians nervous about lethal falling slabs. Brookfield Properties is a Toronto-based firm with major downtown office towers in the U.S., Canada, and Australia, and joint ventures in the United Kingdom. There's not much of a dividend, but the stock is still depressed after plunging to $4 from $22 during the 2008 financial crisis.

Own it by investing in: Boston Properties (symbol BPO)
Price: $104.74
Yield: 2.1%
This white marble tower at the southeast end of Central Park is one of Midtown's most recognizable structures. There was a huge GM showroom in its lobby when the building opened in 1968, and, in an allegory about what's happened to big business in America, New York's flagship Apple store now occupies the site. The building has changed hands many times, with Boston Properties on the deed since 2008, in with investors from Dubai, Kuwait and Qatar. Boston Properties, one of America's biggest REITs, also owns Boston's massive Prudential Tower.

Price: $104.74
Yield: NA%
The Gherkin, nicknamed for its shape, is that conspicuous rounded blob in London's financial district that steals your glance from the Victorian and Dickensian treasures nearby and the newer sprawl of Canary Wharf. The Gherkin, formally called 30 St. Mary Axe, is the London office of the global insurance company Swiss Re. It highlights the magnificent architectural collection of IVG, a German REIT with holdings all over Europe. IVG also developed and owns The Squaire, a half-mile-long office building at the Frankfurt airport that resembles an all-glass bullet train perched atop a railway station.

Wi NG
Own it by investing in: Sun Hung Kai Properties (symbol SUHJY.PK)
Price: $15.19
Yield: NA
Sun Hung Kai, a Hong Kong–based REIT, owns this giant, the fourth-tallest building in the world. The building, completed in 2010, is a massive and, frankly, boring slab, but it's famous for the highest bar on earth, Ozone, on the 118th floor. It also has the highest swimming pool in the world. The 1,588-foot building was originally supposed to be 300 feet higher, but regulators didn't want it to be taller than nearby mountains, perhaps to make sure someone flying a plane from that direction would clear it.

Madison Square Garden
Laslo Varga
Own it by investing in: MSG (symbol MSG)
Price: $32.92
Yield: 0
Madison Square Garden hasn't been on Madison Square since 1925, but the name clings to the world's most famous arena, the fourth structure with the name. The present Garden, located above Pennsylvania Station, is 44 years old and about to see major renovations (the author remembers riding trains from New Jersey as a kid and ascending by escalator to see the Knicks without even stepping outside). The Garden is best known for basketball and hockey, but it also has a monumental history of concerts, boxing matches and political conventions. Madison Square Garden, which started trading at $20 per share in 2010 after being spun off from Cablevision, also operates Radio City Music Hall, located a few blocks from the Garden. Besides the arena, the company owns the New York Knicks and the New York Rangers. This is exciting, but it doesn't make MSG a profit machine. Moreover, the shares aren't cheap, having run up during the excitement over Jeremy Lin, the undrafted Harvard grad who, for a time, helped the Knicks turn around their disappointing season. But both Lin and the Knicks have cooled off, so you can't count on Linsanity boosting the shares further.

Tokyo Midtown
Own it by investing in: Mitsui Fudosan (symbol MTSFY.PK)
Price: $53.85
Yield: NA
Tokyo is known more for mass and sprawl and frenetic movement and bright lights than architectural landmarks. But this development deserves a mention because, besides being the highest building in Tokyo (which has above-average risks for earthquakes), this is a new mixed-use city center rising from land that once housed occupying U.S. military forces. There's green space -- a rarity in this concrete city -- and several art museums. Mitsui is Japan's largest real estate company, and it recruited a bunch of Japan's largest financial institutions to invest in this mega-project.

Smoothie King Lures Franchisees with Incentives [1]
Read More About
Smoothie King Franchises, the premier smoothie and nutritional lifestyle center, announced a new franchise development incentive program in celebration of its 40th anniversary.
New franchisees will receive 40 percent off the franchise fee, a savings of $10,000, for the first 40 agreements signed in 2013.
"At Smoothie King, we are proud of our brand heritage and excited to mark our 40th anniversary with a new, limited incentive program for new franchisees," says Smoothie King global CEO Wan Kim.
"Our goal is to encourage multiunit development and continue to position Smoothie King as the most recognized smoothie concept in the world," he adds. "We recently posted our 20th consecutive month of positive same-store sales. The future of our brand looks very bright."
Smoothie King is experiencing energized growth under new brand owner and global CEO Wan Kim, with its plans to add 1,000 new franchised and corporate locations domestically over the next five years.
Even with more than 500 locations in the U.S., Smoothie King still has extensive franchise opportunities available in the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions, as well as in Texas.
International development includes master franchise and corporate expansion in Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia, with 50 new stores planned in Korea and 10 in Singapore in 2013.
Franchisees should possess a passion for the Smoothie King brand and desire to help consumers lead a healthier lifestyle.
While restaurant experience is not required, the ideal candidate should have an entrepreneurial spirit, as well as sales, marketing, restaurant, and/or retail experience.

Baja 23 Outlaw
Even though she's only 23 feet, thanks to her deep deadrise this Outlaw can handle the rough stuff. What's most impressive is that this boat has many of the features and styling of full-on offshore performance boats, but in a compact, entry-level size.
Transom and Engine Features
Our test boat came equipped with the standard three-rung swim ladder and optional high-grade aluminum platform. And even though this Outlaw is a high performance machine, she's also a sportboat with a stainless steel ski tow eye for towing a line.
Just forward of that, is a plush sunpad for two. The thick head rests along the aft bench seat are your first hint that this is a real offshore boat.
To access the engine there is a manual lift and release to effortlessly raise the entire sunpad with one hand. This is thanks to a pair of Attwood struts. In the belly of this beast we find the optional 375-hp MerCruiser 496 power plant, and this particular rig was set up with the optional Corsa Quick & Quiet II Thru Hull Exhaust, which routes exhaust out through the transom instead of underwater. This will give a little more top end speed, and a lot more attention when people hear you coming. The engine compartment is lined with a fully bonded fiberglass inner liner providing a cleaner, more finished look.
Sporty Helm and Cockpit
The cockpit features an aft bench that can seat three adults and it has hinged storage underneath. The outboard passengers have stainless steel grab rails to hold onto, but the passenger in the middle will have to rely on those around him for security.
At the helm is another reminder that you're on a real high-performance boat. The helm features two Aero seats with drop-down bolsters for easy stand-up driving. There is a full set of oil-filled Livorsi gauges, along with a high-performance clutch and throttle. The trim switch for the beefy Bravo One drive is built right in the handle, and we also appreciate the LED gauges for trim tab angles.
The 23 Outlaw is designed for easy sit-down driving when you want to get out of the onrushing wind, thanks to tilt-wheel steering with satin finish spokes and aforementioned drop-down seats. Over to port, your navigator gets to control the Clarion AM/FM/CD stereo, and there's also a small self draining locker and 12 volt outlet for your cell phone. Access to the foredeck is gained by small molded-in steps. There is no non-skid up forward, so you'll want to use extra caution if the deck is wet.
Like all Outlaws' the 23 also has a V-berth cabin. This one will be primarily used for storage since its compact without ventilation, but it can be used for changing or a cat nap on the hook.
Specification and Performance
The 23 Outlaw measures 23' 6'' length overall and stretches to 24' 8'' with the optional swim platform. The 23 degree deadrise hull will draw 34 inches of water and sports a 80 gallon fuel tank. The 23 weighs 4,200 pounds, but with an 8'4" beam is trailerable by most SUVs.
Off the waters of the Florida, we recorded a top end speed of 62.4 mph at a 4800 rpm wide-open-throttle from a 375-hp MerCruiser 496 Mag. Throttle back to 3500 and you're still doing more than 40 mph for a cruising range of nearly 200 miles at that speed. We calculated a most economical cruise speed at 2500 rpm doing 27.8mph.Cornering was precise, she never spun out or cavitated during turns, and the power steering was finger-tip light.
You can take the 23 Outlaw to the ocean, sound, or the lake but it better be a big lake because of her speed. With great graphics, comfortable seating, and speed the Outlaw 23 is a great way to enter high-performance boating.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's tennis team competed in yet another exciting tennis match today on the final day of the Ned and Tina Jacobs Lobo Tennis Winter Kickoff at the Linda Estes Tennis Center. After falling yesterday to UC Irvine (1-4) in a doubles tiebreaker, the No. 67 Islanders (2-3) returned the favor by winning a tight doubles point to clinch the match 4-3 in the first of two matches.
"I'm incredibly proud of how these guys keep fighting and the spirit they have shown," Director of Tennis Steve Moore said. "This was a match that wasn't going our way for 90 percent of it. All these teams are talented, so it's about who does the little things better. We have to fix some things, and we have to get better at certain things, but I love the character and toughness of these guys."
The Anteaters tacked on the first point today with a straight-set victory in the No. 5 slot. After Matt Westmoreland sent the Islanders into doubles play yesterday with a win over Jonathan Hammel, the Anteater sophomore, answered back with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Westermoreland.
Javier Pujol quickly put the Islanders on the board with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Caryl Hernandez in the No. 4 slot. The Islanders then surged ahead 2-1, after Peter Nagy took care of business in the No. 1 position with a 6-4, 6-3 straight-set victory over Ryan Cheung. Once again, UC Irvine fought back to knot the match at 2-2 with Shuhei Shibahara capturing the 7-5, 6-2 win over freshman Philip Kuehnen in the No. 6 spot.
UC Irvine jumped in front 3-2 by squeezing out a three-set victory on court two. Rafael Davidian defeated Ricardo Mayagoitia 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 to garner the Anteaters their third point of the match. With the match on the line for the second straight day, the Islanders battled back to force doubles play. Sophomore Guillaume Rauseo carried his team into the tiebreaker with a three-set win over Tyler Pham on court three. In the first set, Rauseo grabbed the tiebreaker 7-6 (2) before falling 6-7 (7) in the second set. In the third, it was all Rauseo with the 6-1 victory.
The Islanders and Anteaters went with the same doubles lineup as Saturday night, but this time it was the Islanders recording the 11-9 tiebreaker. UC Irvine notched the first doubles match on court one after the pair of Cheung and Hammel topped the duo of Nagy and Rauseo. The Islander tandem of Pujol and Pietro Jordao quickly responded with a 10-3 win in the No. 3 slot over Shibahara and Pham to even it.
Once again the match was in the hands of Westmoreland and Paul Cook. On Saturday night the duo topped the Anteater pair 10-8, today though it was more intense. With Westmoreland and Cook down two match points, the duo came back to win 11-9 and clinch the victory for the Islanders.
In two straight matches, Westmoreland has saved nine match points where the match has been on the line.
The Islanders will wrap play tonight against Arizona at 4 p.m. MST. In the first match between the two teams, A&M - Corpus Christi secured the 4-2 win.
The Ned and Tina Jacobs Lobo Tennis Winter Kickoff features the new shortened college format where singles is played first and the match stops when the team reaches four points. In the case of a 3-3 tie, the winner will be determined by who takes the best two of three 10-point tiebreakers in doubles play.

Houma man accused of trying to steal Wal-Mart cash register
Published: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 7:53 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 10:42 a.m.
A Houma man was arrested this morning after allegedly trying to steal a cash register from the Wal-Mart on Grand Caillou Road, police said.
Jimmy J. LeBouef, 31, of 152 Agnes St. No. 7, was arrested by an off-duty Houma Police officer working a detail at the store, authorities said.
Just after 2 a.m., management spotted LeBouef in the store and told the officer that the man had been caught taking a register from one of the checkout aisles Sunday, Houma Police said in a news release. LeBouef took the register into a bathroom and tried to leave the store with it before being stopped. He tried to do the same thing this morning before he was stopped by an employee, and the officer arrested him after a brief struggle.
LeBouef was charged with theft over $500 and resisting an officer. He was taken to the Terrebonne jail and ran after exiting the officer's car, police said. He was caught in the parking lot and charged additionally with simple escape.

text: Thank you very much too_dozy and Remade/Remodeled! I really appreciate it and I am still a state of disbelief and wonder over this latest development! I have been to Kyoto many times. Its just such a beautiful city and the people there are just so very nice. Compared to Tokyo, its like another country! Really, its true and I would love to live there someday!But also, I got very lucky on the day of the shoot as I was told by some others that it was supposed to rain but, fortunately, it did not. And also it was a very overcast and a grey sky colored day which helped limit shadows and excess luminosity etc. And because it was not such a nice day, and that it was forecasted to rain, the Golden Pavilion Temple grounds were not as crowded as usual. So I was able to get good shots pretty quickly without any unwanted walk-throughs and sudden interruptions by large tour groups etc. Kyoto is an incredibly beautiful city that has several magnificent world heritage sites. But, because of that, it is always so very crowded and not easy to shoot at all. Thanks again.Stay tuned!Rob <*@v@*>Asia Entertainment Online Videos And Web TVRob Pongi Blog

Inserting NULLs into NOT NULL columns in 5.6: refused by default
By user12626240 on Sep 16, 2013
MySQL 5.6 ships with a default config file that sets the SQL mode to NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES . Here is what happens if you try to insert NULL values into a table with NOT NULL columns:
mysql> create table safetyfirst( -> id int primary key not null auto_increment, -> country varchar(60) NOT NULL, -> product varchar(60) NOT NULL ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.24 sec) mysql> insert into safetyfirst(country) values('Sweden'); ERROR 1364 (HY000): Field 'product' doesn't have a default value
If someone tells you that MySQL 5.6 by default allows you to do this, ask them to prove it using the default settings we use for new installations and check their claim by asking them for the output of SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'sql%'; .
We would like to use NO_ZERO_DATE, NO_ZERO_IN_DATE, NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO, ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO as well but we know that many web applications use some of these things, so we did not do that for 5.6. If you are doing new application development or provide a development framework please strongly consider using these as well.

Vital Signs: Looking for Weather's Chill on February Jobs Data
Harsh winter weather continues to take a toll on the economic data.
Automatic Data Processing said Wednesday that weather probably contributed to February's tepid gain of just 139,000 new jobs in the private sector. The Institute for Supply Management also pointed to weather as one reason why the non-manufacturing sector slowed more than expected last month.
Will weather drag down the Labor Department's estimate of February nonfarm payrolls scheduled for release on Friday? Right now, economists expect payrolls increased 152,000. Good but not great.
What's important to the weather answer is how bad conditions were when Labor did its survey, which covers the payroll period including the 12th of each month.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data, snowfall amounts were high across much of the Pacific Northwest and states east of the Mississippi. Even the South experienced a freak snowstorm in the February 12th week, causing transportation disruptions, business closings and power outages.
Even if the weather doesn't skew the top-line payrolls change, Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics that puts together the ADP report, says economy-watchers should also pay attention to the average workweek in February. A sharp drop in hours means workers could not get to work, a drag on output growth this winter.

Mr. Grimm, a Republican congressman representing Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn, is running for another term in the Nov. 4 election.
His attorneys appearing in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, asked for the trial to be pushed back by another month, providing what they called a "cooling off period." U.S. District Judge Pamela Chen denied that request and set the Dec. 1 date.
Jeffrey Neiman, one of Mr. Grimm's lawyers, said Democrats are airing negative television advertisements about his client referencing the charges. He argued this could prejudice potential jurors against Mr. Grimm.
"We are obviously in the heart of the election cycle," he said. "We're concerned about ensuring Mr. Grimm has a fair trial…We're concerned there could be prejudice."
But Judge Chen said the Brooklyn federal courthouse deals with "many cases of notoriety every day" and that a one-month delay would do nothing to prevent prejudice.
"That, I don't find compelling," she said.
Judge Chen said it might be difficult to find jurors who "hadn't heard something about this case." But she said the court would eliminate any potential bias through jury selection procedures.
Loretta Lynch, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, unveiled a 20-count indictment against Mr. Grimm in April. It included charges of tax fraud, employing illegal immigrants and other alleged crimes stemming from when he owned and operated a Manhattan health-food restaurant.
Mr. Grimm and his attorneys declined to comment outside the courthouse after the brief hearing. He will next appear in court Nov. 20 for a pretrial status conference.
John Antoniello, chairman of the Staten Island Republican Party, was in court for the hearing. He said he didn't expect the case would hurt Mr. Grimm's re-election bid. "I think he will [win]" he said.
Asked if he agreed with the defense attorney's arguments that Democratic Party attack adverts could taint the jury pool, Mr. Antoniello replied: "Only time will tell; we'll see."

LOS ANGELES -- The Warriors players were prepared to boycott Game 5 of their first-round series against the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday had they been dissatisfied by sanctions announced by NBA commissioner Adam Silver.
Guard Stephen Curry said that had Silver merely announced an indefinite suspension and fine, every Warriors player planned to walk off the court as the jump ball was tossed for the opening tipoff.
"It would have been our only chance to make a statement in front of the biggest audience that we weren't going to accept anything but the maximum punishment," Curry said. "We would deal with the consequences later but we were not going to play."
NBA players association vice president Roger Mason Jr. said outside Staples Center that he spoke with Warriors center Jermaine O'Neal about a possible boycott.
"He said specifically that if they don't make that man sell his team or their recommendation isn't that, that they would be prepared to boycott the game and not play," Mason Jr. said.
Silver announced that Sterling would be banned for life from any association with the Clippers or the NBA while also that he would urge the league's Board of Governors to exercise its authority to force a sale.
"If the league didn't come down as harsh as it did, I think you would have seen not only the Golden State Warriors, but players leaguewide do something about it," Mason Jr. said.
Warriors coach Mark Jackson, who had said the previous day it was best for his team to play, acknowledged that a boycott was possible had Silver not acted.
"It was a real discussion amongst the players, and I think they were sitting, listening very closely to the tone and the words that came out of the mouth of the commissioner," Jackson said. "And so it was a real option."
With the NBA authorizing closed locker rooms for both teams before the game, citing an overwhelming amount of media requests, Warriors guard Stephen Curry released a statement before the game.
"I was pleased in the matter in which the NBA and Commissioner Silver handled this unfortunate situation -- promptly and decisively," Curry said. "There is no place for such hatred in the world or in the workplace. I think the message delivered today sends a strong but fair statement that such behavior will not be tolerated in our society, regardless of your stature. I hope we can put this behind us and move forward."
