Standards for accomplished teaching
Accomplished teaching is difficult to define and even more difficult to achieve. The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards has sought to recognize and reward quality teaching in America through a variety of professional standards and certifications for teaching professionals.
Although teachers new to the profession are not eligible to pursue National Board Certification, all teachers should be aware of the FIVE CORE PROPOSITIONS OF ACCOMPLISHED TEACHING developed by the National Board. By incorporating the five core propositions into your practice, you will assure that you are doing your best to enhance student learning.
What teachers should know and be able to do
1. Teachers are committed to students and their learning.
2. Teachers know the subjects they teach and how to teach those subjects.
3. Teachers are responsible for managing and monitoring student learning.
4. Teachers think systematically about their practice and learn from experience.
5. Teachers are members of learning communities.
As you prepare and reflect daily, try to keep the 5 core propositions in mind. Ask yourself the following questions...
Questions related to Standard 1:
Questions related to Standard 2:
Questions related to Standard 3:
Questions related to Standard 4:
Questions related to Standard 5:
Many of these are tough questions. Some are impossible for a new teacher to even contemplate answering. But remember, the 5 Core Propositions are intended to be guidelines for your entire career. That's why National Board Certification is only offered to those who have at least three years of teaching experience. However, if you keep the 5 core propositions in mind, you will have an immediate framework to improve your skills as a classroom professional.
New teachers should also review the NBPTS standards that are relevant to their individual grade-level and curricular duties. These standards can be obtained from NBPTS at the following website: www.nbpts.org

SHADES OF HOPE: Suzanne Donahue was relentless about getting the word out about skin cancer, the disease that took her life in May at the age of 40. She was a spokeswoman for the Melanoma Foundation of New England, joining its speakers bureau to warn high school and college students about the dangers of tanning and the importance of sun safety.
On Tuesday, the foundation holds its Shades of Hope Gala at the Mandarin Oriental in Boston. As part of the gala, the first Suzanne Donahue Keeper of the Hope Award will be presented to her parents, Kathy and David Donahue of Scituate.
"She always thought those at the foundation were great advocates, they were a wonderful support group," Kathy Donahue said of her daughter, a single woman who was a manager for a financial resource company. "The goals of the foundation were extremely important to her, and beneficial to so many."
Suzanne Donahue was not a tanner, but was active in water sports, her mother said, teaching swimming, growing up sailing, always on the water and taking care to not overdo the sun.
"But we have Irish skin," she said. "We're more prone to melanoma."
Suzanne Donahue first noticed a problem with moles on her body getting bigger and had them checked out, which resulted in a diagnosis of melanoma five years ago.
"She had some heavy-duty treatment at Massachusetts General Hospital and was clean for three years," her mother said. "Then on the third anniversary of her diagnosis, it came back gangbusters."
The disease and resultant battle against it never diminished her spirit.
"She had a beautiful smile and a direct look," her mother said. "She was always a 'nice to see you' type of person."
She had friends who she maintained from elementary school through college and beyond. A college roommate once said that Suzanne always cared about her and her family, always asking about them, Kathy Donahue said.
"She was a conscientious and caring friend," she said, "and an A-number-one daughter. She was very adventuresome, she was always finding us great places to go. She always found the right spot."
She worked hard at her job, Kathy Donahue said, "and being a single woman in the financial industry is not always easy, but she got tremendous accolades from those she worked with. We got more than 250 donations for the foundation from people she'd worked with years ago at Putnam and State Street Bank."
And she was a great speaker, her parents discovered, as she gave eulogies at funerals for her grandparents.
"We were very impressed by what a good speaker she was, she gave amazing eulogies," Kathy Donahue said.
After her diagnosis, she got involved with the foundation through symposiums, then with patient support, helping others, and donating her time and energy to speaking out about the dangers of sun exposure. (For more information, visit www.mfne.org.)
"She said, 'Look at me, this is what you don't want to happen to you,' " Kathy Donahue said.
The Shades of Hope Gala will be hosted by Gail Simmons, a judge on Bravo TV's "Top Chef," as well as a skin-care advocate.
The Donahues were surprised by the award they will receive and pleased that their daughter's name will continue to be linked with the inspiration she provided.
"She was the kind of person who worked very hard," Kathy Donahue said, "but never realized how much people appreciated how much she did."
YOUTH WINS PHOTO CONTEST: William Sullivan, 11, of Bridgewater beat more than 50 entries to win first prize in the "Take Your Smile on Vacation" photo contest, run by Arch Orthodontics. His photo, by his mother Karin Sullivan, was taken at Six Flags Adventure Park in New Jersey during the summer, with William feigning a scream, baring his braces-covered teeth, at a life-sized shark replica. The photo won him an iPad.
STUDENTS' WORK PUBLISHED: Three Milton Academy students had their creative works chosen from nearly 4,000 submissions for publication in the 2012 edition of "The Apprentice Writer" at Susquehanna University, which publishes work from high school students in a 20-state area. The students are Nicole Acheampong of Sharon and Emeline Atwood and Haeyeon Tina Cho, both of Milton.

The lights are on
Alien: Isolation is bringing back the horror from the first film, which is a departure from the past few games based on the Aliens license. A new trailer shows how developer The Creative Assembly is building their alien to be the ruthless hunter we first met.
The video doesn't feature too many lingering shots of the xenomorph, so you'll have to keep your eyelids wide open if you want to see the creature. As the team describes (and as I wrote about in an earlier preview), the game is built around an alien A.I. that's aware of its surroundings and acts accordingly, as opposed to relying on preset paths. It was effective when I played it, and the clip is a reminder of why it works so well.
Alien: Isolation is set for a late 2014 release on the PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

Submission + - The Case for Oracle (infoworld.com)
An anonymous reader writes: In a lucid writeup, InfoWorld's Neil McAllister takes a different angle on the Oracle-Google lawsuit, giving an explanation why Oracle was right to sue Google. McAllister argues that Google is splintering the Java platform, just like Microsoft was doing back in the 90s, and should be held up to the same standards. He further cites Google's Josh Bloch calling for Oracle to take a lead role in steering Java, concluding that Bloch maybe "should have been more careful what he wished for."

BELGRADE, Serbia - On Saturday - the final day of the World University Games swim competition - UC Santa Barbara alum, Katy Freeman, helped the United States women's 400-meter medley relay team to a gold medal. The team recorded a time of 4:01.90, beating out second-place Italy by 0.85 seconds.
Freeman swam the breaststroke leg of the relay and posted a split of 1:05.83. The relay marked her third appearance in an event final during the meet.

my knowledge of soccer. I have an aquaintance who plays for Santa Clara in the Portugal league. Igor Kojic. I have no knowledge of how european talent translates into the MLS. Could a player like this make an MLS team now?
A glazed donut. It's basically air. I guess I'm just hungry.
Well like anything else it all goes down to money. MLS min sal is still like 20k a year I believe. That is not a lot just enough to stop a few OK players from going home. Where the same lv player makes like 80k a year in europe. 100K is about the average MLS salary kinda a Europe semi pro average really. Which is why so few American players stay here. Likely if he is making over 80k I'd say yes but why would he want to. Very few guys like Landon Donovan stay here when they can be making much more in the English Premier League or Bundesliga. We are like Turkey for NBA players when it comes to soccer. Some just come here when they can't be a star at home anymore.
This is true to an extent however age also comes into play along with money. If you're young and you have real ability you would want to be in Europe where you can be seen by the big clubs more easily. Whereas the US is almost like the dark side of the moon in soccer terms, not only because of the level of play but also because of the weird transfer rules and the schedule that doesnt align with the European game.
And there is also a bias against the US game that still persists, and since your clubs can't play in competitive matches agaisnt the european clubs that bias will be there until the MLS starts printing money and sign the very top level soccer talent, which will be next to impossible.
On the other hand if you are on the wrong side of 30 the Turkish basketball league example is an apt one, but a better one is the UAE or Qatar leagues, from here it looks like the retired stars go to die either to the MLS, Qatar or the UAE...
in general I'd say people are too negative about the level of talent in the MLS. the MLS talent is comparable (or better than) many smaller leagues in Europe. Ireland, Scotland, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria all have similar leagues to the MLS. It's a physical game more similar to the northern European game. It's obviously no where near EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A or Ligue 1 but it's not terrible. it's similar to the 3rd level (Gunpoweder) in England or other minor leagues in Europe. the Portugese league, where your friend plays, is better than the MLS clearly but not by leaps and bounds. there are certainly guys on Santa Clara who are worse than MLS starters, way worse.
besides the old stars coming to die, there are cases of young stars starting out in the MLS as well. such as Giuseppe Rossi (former Red Bull now in La Liga) , Juan agudelo, danny mwanga possibly. these guys probably are in europe when they are getting older.

Damage to power utilities caused by flooding in Hurricane Sandy and the associated problems in the aftermath of Sandy prompted Lynbrook resident Joe Kolodny's interest to help ensure that preventive measures are implemented prior to the next storm.
That interest spurred Kolodny, a member of the League of Women Voters of Southwest Nassau County, to have a representative from the New Jersey-based utility company Public Service Electric & Gas Company (PSE&G) to explain what changes will take place as they take over for the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) on Jan. 1.
John O'Connell, a division manager at PSE&G, spoke at the Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library on Sept. 16, about what residents should know concerning the takeover and the utility company's plans has for improvements in technology and communication, among others.
"LIPA has subcontracted management of electric to service providers and National Grid has been managing the electric assets on Long Island and will continue to manage gas service," he said. "As of Jan. 1, 2014 our 10-year contract will begin and we will oversee and make management decisions about how the electric will operate on Long Island."
Reliability has been a big issue since Sandy hit last October, O'Connell said. "We're making improvements to our technology and plan to implement an interactive voice response system at our call centers so a lot of good information can be provided to our customers," he said. "Beyond technology, we're also focusing on looking at what other companies are doing and their results so we have goals that drive us to do better each year, as well as hardening our stations so storms have less of an impact."
Lisa Daniels, the Democratic candidate for L.D. 7 attended the presentation and said she looks forward to upgraded service. "I hope they have a seamless transition and provide better service, communication and preparation for storms," she said. "I also hope they further energy efficiency and sustainability programs throughout the county."
As part of PSE&G's contract, a price freeze for electric bills will be in effect until the end of 2015, O'Connell said. The company will also be unveiling a new user friendly website and social media campaign, as well as inspecting and replacing various utility poles across Long island in the next few months. "We have a team who has been working towards this transition for the past year and a half," he said.
Hewlett resident Bernard Hochman said he thought O'Connell was very knowledgeable and he looks forward to transition. "The emphasis on improving communication through technology seems to be very encouraging," he said. "I'm confident [PSE&G] will be an improvement but in the end we'll have to wait and see."

Ask Slashdot: Is Running Mission-Critical Servers Without a Firewall Common? 348
So my question to the Slashdot masses: is this common? In my admittedly limited networking experience, it's been drilled into my head fairly well that not running a firewall is lazy (if not simply negligent), and to open the appropriate ports and call it a day. However, I've seen forum posts here and there with people admitting they run their clients without firewalls, believing that the firewall on their incoming internet connection is good enough, and that their client security will pick up the pieces. I'm curious how many real professionals do this, or if the forum posts I'm seeing (along with the vendor in question) are just a bunch of clowns.

When we talk of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, it is believed that no other player in the world is of the same calibre. But this past season, Gareth Bale at Tottenham has proved otherwise.
The Welshman has had an absolutely sensational 2012/13 campaign. He has not only been scoring a lot of goals, but has also developed his game in a variety of ways.
Bale joined Spurs in 2007 from Southampton for a fee of £7m. Even back then, he was believed to be a quality player. Having started his career as a left-back, Bale was often seen competing against Benoit Assou-Ekotto for the position.
His evolution over the coming years proved to be nothing less than above standards. Bale was often given opportunities to play as a winger by Harry Redknapp. For the same reason, he's taken up the number 11 jersey. He's also known for his pace, crossing ability, a great left foot and exceptional physical qualities.
The 2012/13 season began with Tottenham challenging for the Champions League spot. Bale proved to be extremely important in Spurs living up to their ability.
The Wales international has scored 26 goals and picked up eight assists in all competitions this season and has rightfully been named as the PFA Player and Young Player of the Year - and also the Football Writers' Player of the Year.
This brings us to the question on everyone's minds: is Bale worth a staggering £85m?
Rumours suggest that Tottenham are set to receive a world-record bid for the services of the Welshman by Real Madrid. Florentino Perez, president of the club, believes that Bale would be a perfect fit at the Bernabeu and is ready to pay the necessary fees.
If the deal goes through, this would be the second time in succession that Real Madrid have broken the transfer record - having signed Cristiano Ronaldo for £80m from Manchester United in 2009.
Football fans around the world have voiced their concern over such a huge amount of money being spent on a single player time and time again. But trends show Real Madrid, Manchester City, PSG and, recently, AS Monaco continuing to sign the best players.
Bale would have to make an important decision if the bid is made. As the past suggests, transfers such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Barcelona, Kaka to Real Madrid and Fernando Torres to Chelsea have not turned out well for the players due to the burden of their transfer fees.
Former Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, often lashed out at such huge transfers and labelled them unnecessary and sometimes devastating for a footballer's career.
Bale definitely possesses bags of quality but his future lies in his own hands. He is only 23-years-old at the moment, and he should focus on improving his game rather than his earnings or stature.

I really could use a little help regarding a PayPal form. I've used PayPal once in my life to receive money and the person who set this up is now too busy to finish it. I'm pretty certain it works, but the way it was set up is confusing to viewers and I'm trying to fix that. We are setting this up as a means for donating to a non-profit organization and we have a drop down menu with pre-selected options for specific amounts (there is a column on the actual website that describes how each amount helps). There is also a field just below this for plugging in a custom amount. The problem was that the drop-down menu gave 4 suggestions, but defaulted to the cheapest. The way the site was initially set up seemed to suggest the user had to chose an option from the drop-down menu. But then there was the box to type in the amount right under this menu. And I didn't want the viewer to get confused and to get charged double. I added another field to the drop-down menu so the user could select custom amount THEN type in the custom field. My two questions are: 1) Do I have to do anything with the input tags with this option, like set value to null? Do I need input tags – presently I don't have them. I just don't want anything to submit off this drop-down menu if the user decides to type in their own amount. 2) Do the drop-down menu options actually look like they'd carry their value when submitting the form? It has occurred to me that maybe the last person just intended to have the user fill in the custom field, but that doesn't seem logical. However, being completely unfamiliar with PayPal, I'd really appreciate if anyone could do a look-over for me.

AP Predictably Tells Only One Side of Wis. Judges' Altercation
Despite the accumulated reportage and commentary available to the Associated Press this morning, the wire service, at 9:58 a.m. Eastern Time (saved here for future reference, fair use, and discussion purposes), only reported on one side of the story relating to an altercation that took place between Wisconsin Supreme Court Justices David Prosser, Jr. and Ann Walsh Bradley. In doing so, it ignored the existence of a follow-up story published at least 12 hours earlier at the Milwaukee Journal, the newspaper it cites as the primary source of its original coverage.
In AP-Land, despite contrary assertions, the conservative Prosser is the alleged choking aggressor, and the left-leaning Bradley the supposed innocent victim. Taking all known accounts into consideration, the matter is hardly so clear-cut.
Prosser "just so happens" to have won a hotly contested Supreme Court race in April which was seen as a referendum on the popularity of 2011 Wisconsin Act 10, commonly known as the "Budget Repair Bill," which imposed out-of-pocket pension and health insurance premium costs on most Badger State public-sector workers while limiting their collective-bargaining rights. On June 14, the Supreme Court reinstated the law, overruling a Dane County judge who the court ruled had usurped her authority in nullifying the law on procedural grounds. Act 10 appears to be set to become law on July 1.
Here are key paragraphs from the unbylined AP report (internal link added by me):
Wisconsin justice accuses colleague of choking her
A Wisconsin Supreme Court justice has accused another justice of choking her during an argument in her office earlier this month – a charge her colleague denied.
Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Justice David Prosser put her in a chokehold during the dispute. She contacted the newspaper late Saturday after Prosser denied rumors about the altercation.
"The facts are that I was demanding that he get out of my office and he put his hands around my neck in anger in a chokehold," Bradley told the newspaper.
Prosser said in a statement the allegations "will be proven false" once a "proper review of the matter and the facts surrounding it are made clear."
Wisconsin Public Radio and the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism, quoting anonymous sources, reported Saturday that the argument occurred before the Supreme Court's decision earlier this month upholding Republican Gov. Scott Walker's bill eliminating most of public employees' collective bargaining rights.
… AP's description is at the very least irresponsible, in light of the following item published at the Journal Sentinel yesterday at about 6:30 p.m. Central Time (based on when the first comments appeared; bolds are mine):
Sources told the Journal Sentinel two very different stories Saturday about what occurred. Some confirmed Bradley's version. According to others, Bradley charged Prosser, who raised his hands to defend himself and made contact with her neck.
A joint investigation by Wisconsin Public Radio and the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism first reported on the incident early Saturday, stating that Prosser "allegedly grabbed" Bradley around the neck.
Before Bradley spoke to the Journal Sentinel, Prosser issued a statement that said: "Once there's a proper review of the matter and the facts surrounding it are made clear, the anonymous claim made to the media will be proven false. Until then I will refrain from further public comment."
A source who spoke to several justices present during the incident told the Journal Sentinel that the confrontation occurred after 5:30 p.m. June 13, the day before the high court's release of a decision upholding a bill to curtail the collective bargaining rights of public employees.
… The conversation grew heated, and Bradley asked Prosser to leave. Bradley was bothered by disparaging remarks Prosser had made about Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson, a source said.
… another source told the Journal Sentinel that Bradley attacked Prosser.
"She charged him with fists raised," the source said.
Prosser "put his hands in a defensive posture," the source said. "He blocked her."
In doing so, the source said, he made contact with Bradley's neck.
When the AP article went up, this was at a minimum a he-said, she-said situation where, depending on the truth, either party may be subject to discipline or other sanctions. By omitting the alternate version of events in the Journal Sentinel's follow-up report, the AP either negligently or deliberately gave the nation's readers an incomplete and substantively false version of what has been alleged, creating the impression that only Prosser could be in the wrong.
Madison, Wisconsin blogger Ann Althouse has been following the situation since news about it first appeared, and is none too pleased with how leftists are dishonestly attempting to orchestrate a political hit. Her posts on the topic, as of 3 p.m. this afternoon, are, in chronological order here, here, here and here.
This blogger's speculation: If this information about an alleged June 13 incident took 11-12 days to surface, it has the distinct aroma of a group of people possibly attempting to coordinate to get their stories straight. But it looks like someone may have busted that plan.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida State's dream of contending for a national championship may have disappeared on a pair of fourth quarter decisions by coach Jimbo Fisher.
The third-year Seminole coach disdained a field goal attempt with 9:35 left Saturday that could've given his team a nine-point lead at North Carolina State. Instead of giving Dustin Hopkins a shot at his fourth field goal in the game, the Seminoles punted.
But it was call earlier that was even more questionable. The Seminoles wanted something big instead of something safe and ran a play on third-and-two that resulted in EJ Manuel being sacked for a 15-yard loss -- a play called during a timeout.
Fisher defended both calls Monday and said he'd make the same decisions again.
The 12th-ranked Seminoles host Boston College on Saturday.

CICERO – Two men posing as city workers stole $800 from a man in the 4900 block of West 24th Street Aug. 27.
Police said the victim responded to a knock at door and was met by the two men who said they were from the "Water Department" and were there to check to see if the water was running.
The victim allowed them in and they requested he turn the faucets on in the house. They were in the house for about one hour when the victim said there was no longer any response from them as he was upstairs talking to them while they were downstairs.
He told police he then went downstairs and found the men missing, having exited through the rear door. The victim then discovered that $800 in cash was gone.
A witness observed the two men leave in a blue older model SUV.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--After finishing 34-20, and making it to the NCAA regional final in 2013, Barry softball is starting the new season on a good note. In the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division II Preseason Poll, the Bucs are starting the new season as the #24 team in the country.
Last year, the Bucs made a run in the NCAA South Region Tournament until their season ended at the hands of Alabama Huntsville. This post-season run, and a 19-5 conference record which had them finish tied for second place in the SSC, left the Bucs just outside the final poll of 2013.
But coming into 2014 with 13 returning letterwinners, five returning position starters and three returning pitchers, the Bucs received 41 votes, according them a spot amongst the nation's best teams. Amongst the preseason top 25 are two teams on Barry's 2014 schedule: #5 Armstrong Atlantic State and conference rival, #13 Tampa.
The Bucs open the season this Saturday, Feb. 1 at noon against Flagler College.

I, for one, am pleased with the new NCAA attitude. I feel our plan should be to get our large donor supporters to go to the best athletes in the country and take their parents aside and tell them not to tell their child, but we could advance a nice sum of money if they persuade their athlete to go to our school. Hell, it's legal now, so why not? We could assemble a team of 5-star players and really be competitive.
(note: this is sarcasm. I do not understand the rule. Anyone care to explain to reasoning behind Newton's ruling? And is it now legal to go to the parents and get their support using cash?)

The ruling is because everyone is fawning over Cam Newton. He apparently is the new blow job giving athlete out there. Within about 5 minutes of ESPN, I've heard his name mentioned 300 times (at least)

I could use a visual expedition among the various links on this summary.
No kidding. Sometimes I like to (gasp!) RTFA, but in this case I couldn't find out which of the F links went to the F article.
<AOL>Me too!</AOL>
ur right. i'm from youtube show me how to make a linux filesystem
In all there are 78 figures and 10 animations.
So they finally managed to recover DNA evidence on BSD's corpse [jhu.edu] after all. Hopefully we'll find out who killed it.
Seriously, what a useless "analysis". It's all a bunch of unreadable tables, graphs and other things, such as the history of the number of exported symbols in the BSD kernel (yeah right...) nobody cares about.
ZFS rules ducks?
It's cases like this, and that damn gun-toting panda [wikipedia.org] that remind us of the need for proper use of punctuation. Though it's always puzzled me how people can write code all day long and then fail to use analogous typographical rules correctly in communication. Or maybe there's more "Hello
Oh well. I, for one, welcome our new anatidaen overlords!
Consider, for example, a sentence in a {vi} tutorial that looks like
Then delete a line from the file by typing "dd".
Standard usage would make this
Then delete a line from the file by typing "dd."
(from the jargon file, Hacker Writing Style)
Is that an American style of punctuation? In British English the first (more logical) example is correct.
Your incorrect conclusion that quotation marks are logically wrong arose from the fact that you don't understand how quotation marks work.
You can draw several conclusions from the images. One of them is how similar some filesystems are.
Have a look to the hierarchical clustering and hamming distances graphs.
This analysis was done on 1377 kernel modules from 2.6.0 to 2.6.29
I think they meant 1337 kernel modules?
Usefulness of a hammer:
Pass me that hammer, there's a fly on my mother-in-law's forehead
Pass me that hammer, there's a fly on my mother-in-law's forehead
Now that's what I call killing two birds with one stone!

When I'm old and gray, this is what I am going to do. If it were today, I'd take the boss of Monsanto or some Rothschild boss with me.
Talk about an open door with just a screen door left between you and 500 feet or polar ice water.
A hammer. Bah. Crybaby.

Who gives a shit ?
Nerds, which is what this website is for. If you're looking for some sort of pop culture website where things are only posted if they appeal to the majority, you're doing it wrong...
It's easy.
I did it once and the fact that it couldn't be mounted was offset by the fact that no bugs were ever reported, nor did it it ever corrupt or lose any data. In fact, I didn't even have to write any of the implementation.
How is it possible to create a file system driver which does not call "register_filesystem" ?
If you 'rtfa'... it stated [jhu.edu]:
Another (again expected) observation is that the lack of (un)register_filesystem identifiers in the modules which only provides services to others: dlm, lockd, fat, and jbd2/jbd2.
Yes I did read the article and thought it was very interesting. For one thing the fact that in earlier kernel releases file system drivers used to use more or less the same set of external symbols and in recent releases they more often used exclusive external symbols. If that's a good or a bad thing I don't know because I'm not an expert in file systems. It may indicate file system kernel module writers are re-using code less or do no longer compare their work that much anymore or
Dear submitter,
I actually clicked on one of the links that appeared to go to the "Expedition" website (based on its similarity to other links, as shown in my browser's statusbar!), then changed the address in the address bar to get to the front page.
You actually didn't include a link to your article's front page [jhu.edu], for heaven's sake!
Hope this helps for the next time you write a summary.
Hope this helps for the next time you write a summary.
You must be new here...
My first reaction when browsing through the article was disgust about the measure being used. I couldn't see the value of graphs about the number of symbols used by different file-system modules. So vfat doesn't use kprintf, woo-fucking-hoo!
But then, the Hamming distance and hierarchical structure struck a chord. Huh, so NFS, uses a very different set of symbols than, ext3. (ok, this may be biased by NFS using a metric fuckton of external symbols where ext3 uses less), which implies that NFS is pretty different, internally, than ext3.
So now, I agree that such a visualisation, while very abstract from the implementation details, can be pretty useful to have a (very) rough overview of the filesystems and their code structure. And I think we need more abstract overviews like this.
Reminds me of Code Swarm [ucdavis.edu], which creates a movie of commits to a repository.
This is a case of a thorough analysis done by someone who knows how to do an analysis but has no idea what they are analysing or what is important?
So you end up with lots of pretty graphs and trees that actually mean absolutely nothing
NFS has more external symbols than VFAT and there are less than in the previous kernel version... and this means
There usual recommendation is to rename the product and/or company
My only interests in filesystems are how much free space I have and whether mine will recover from a power outage. Thus 95% of these graphs are a total bore to me.
But I do like the Timelines [jhu.edu] of kernel releases. Some kernels see an exponential slowdown of release rate as they approach finalization and others are released like clockwork throughout their lifetime.
I'd love to see these methods applied to other topics I care more about, like games and science
When I develop maps for Starcraft, I usually go with a "release when it's ready" approach. That leads to a first public release long after my internal rough draft. Then there are a few quick releases as major bugs are found. And later the releases slow to a trickle as the focus move from bug fixes to balance tweaks. The magnitude of the changes also decreases over time, but each one's effect on game play can be disproportionately large.
But recently I went with a public balancing approach. I released the rough draft to get a feel for how it played. Then released new drafts as often as twice a day as suggestions were made and problems became apparent. I love to see that contrast visually or see other patterns I hadn't considered.
My only interests in filesystems are how much free space I have and whether mine will recover from a power outage.
I'm usually more concerned about how much free space I have after a power outage.
Man, I just thought I saw some obscured letters in one of the heatmaps but then realized it was just my damn glossy Macbook screen reflecting the writing on my t-shirt... Damn it...
Linux should stop merging file systems used by three individuals at most.
There are so many totally useless file systems inside the main tree, and I honestly fail to see why those should bloat the main tree while the junk could happily live in the hard drive of the three perspective users.
For God's sake, even POHMELFS was merged! Where does it end? Where the boundary to say NO, and keep this irrelevant code out of the tree?
It's unlikely that anybody would care about your opinions even if they weren't stupid.

(MCT) A west suburban high school principal apologized to families in a letter Tuesday for a presentation to students that he said "addressed issues of race in a way that was offensive."
Oak Park and River Forest High School Principal Nathaniel Rouse said the remarks were made during a Monday assembly that was part of the school's weeklong anti-violence campaign.
"In discussing Rosa Parks, one of the speakers, a person of color herself, referred to 'colored people.' I believe she meant to echo the language of the 1960s in a sarcastic way, but that point was lost," Rouse wrote.
The presentation was made by the Alexian Brothers Parish Services group, said Matt Wakely, a spokesman for Arlington Heights-based Alexian Brothers Health System.
The parish services group, according to its website, "works to foster healing and wholeness to those who need it through professional counseling, education services and healthcare guidance within the framework of the Alexian Brothers mission."
The group released a statement through Wakely on Tuesday saying it was "dismayed to hear the feedback" and said there has never been an issue like this resulting from past presentations.
"We are looking into this matter and apologize to those who were offended by the presentation, including school faculty and staff in attendance." The statement said the group has been conducting presentations for school-age audiences on violence, bullying, suicide and other social-emotional issues for 20 years.
"Unfortunately, the presentation missed the mark for our community. It was unfocused, preachy, and geared for a younger audience," Rouse said.
Some students said the assembly was more unusual than offensive.
Sophomore Griffin Meadors said he agreed with Rouse's assessment that the presentation was preachy and called it cliched. He said the speakers used a PowerPoint presentation and asked a lot of rhetorical questions.
"It was a weird assembly," Meadors said. "Everybody, they just made a joke out of the whole assembly because of the poor presentation."
He said some students were offended by the "colored people" comment, but that if Rouse had not sent the apology letter, "people weren't going to get angry about it."
Senior Tyler Milsap said he left the assembly wondering what it was about.
Milsap said the group's ideas about violence and race may have been well intentioned, but "the presentation was all over the place."
A spokeswoman for the high school, Karin Sullivan, said the district paid a fee for the presentation and would seek a refund. The amount the school paid the organization was not immediately available.

In addition to being a nuisance, mosquitoes can also transmit diseases such as Heartworm disease in dogs and cats, and West Nile virus in many species.
To control mosquitoes and reduce the chances of you and your pets being bitten, there are three things you need to do:
One of the most important things to remember is that mosquitoes need stagnant water to reproduce. No water, no reproduction. Control, then, is based on removing standing water, which can serve as a breeding site.
Repellents are chemical substances that mosquitoes will avoid. Repellents can be useful as a way to reduce the risk of being bitten. Because repellents are potentially toxic, be sure to read the label carefully and use the product according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

The company is injecting patients with their own stem cells after massive multiplication of "minimally modified" stem cells.
This seems to be something of a loop hole in current regulation.
Some advocates of the treatments argue, however, that preparations based on a patient's own cells should not be classed as drugs, and should not therefore fall under the FDA's jurisdiction.
The legal standing of stem-cell treatments is currently being debated in a court case brought by Regenerative Sciences of Broomfield, Colorado, which was ordered by the FDA in 2010 to stop administering mesenchymal stem cells to patients5. One of the key issues being debated is whether the cells are "minimally manipulated" before being reinjected into the patient. Treatment with the patient's own, unprocessed tissue does not always require FDA approval.
I'm betting this gets reigned in somewhat, if not by the FDA, then by Texas, as the state has already made it clear it wants some oversight.
This whole thing sounds like several bad made for TV movies I've seen.
Nobody is asking the obvious question, "did the treatments work?"

This here's Texas, y'all. We don't need or want no dang gubamint regulations that would keep us from makin' money off'n our snake oil business. Stop messin' with corporations', er... private citizens' rights to turn a profit. It's just un-American.

Nice extrapolation. Any other words you would like to put in my mouth? "Every time" might be once in a life. To put words in your mouth, are you claiming that one beer is going to negatively effect your health? And in any event, my medical behaviour doesn't effect effect my fourth+ generation.

Thank your for repudiating your earlier statement.
If anything I confirmed it. My medical behaviour won't effect my 4th+ gen. What the great+ grand parent wants is unfettered drugs without consequences. My comment was a legal one. Not a health one.
do you think Timmy is not going to sue when Dad scarfs down an experimental drug that kills him?
I worked with a non-practicing MD. He loved to tell stories about his days working with patients, and one of the things that stands out in my mind is when he told us "Informed consent is a joke. I know what's best for my patient, and that's what they're going to choose. It's impossible for me to actually make them understand the pros and cons, so it's all in how I explain the options."
It's true enough. People tend to trust their doctor, and in general don't have the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions.
I suppose you always check the blueprints before driving across a bridge? As a friend of mine likes to say, you can't make a truly informed decision on what to have for breakfast. For every Cheerio you put in your mouth, you're trusting that hundreds of people did their jobs right and that there won't be any mold or arsenic or broken glass in it.
You need protection and hand-holding just as much of the rest of us. Moreso, since you don't seem to realize it. If you're diagnosed with some terrible disease, you're not going to be thinking rationally. No one ever does.
Hell, I've seen "stem cell treatment" clinics advertising all kinds of BS therapies for years. Last I heard the only approved treatment was for repairing damage done from chemotherapy - and that has been going on for decades.
In order to form an opinion on the matter, it would be useful to know if the treatments have any effect.
You know... evidence based science?
Model-based science is all the rage nowadays, and that we can't allow anything to happen unless we have a clear understanding of why it should happen before we try.
The debate as to whether these people should be labelled snake-oil salesmen or experimentalists would seem to rest on this. Is this government intrusion into people's right to choose, or a regulatory agency stepping in to keep people safe?
We need to know the risks and potential benefits in addition to the opinions of an insular, jargonized profession.

TAMPA — Lightning wing Brett Connolly believes hockey karma played a role in his winning goal Saturday night.
Connolly, 21, felt he was playing some of his best hockey in Syracuse of the American Hockey League — logging a lot of minutes, killing penalties and getting scoring chances. But he had no goals to show for six AHL games, or his first two this season with the Lightning.
So it was all the more rewarding for Connolly to deflect a shot from defenseman Radko Gudas into the net in the third period against St. Louis to give Tampa Bay the lead for good in a 4-2 win.
"Once you get that first one, you feel a little better about yourself," Connolly said. "You can make more plays and are more confident. So hopefully, it spirals from here."
Connolly, the sixth overall pick in 2010, was called up last week for the second time this season. He says he appreciates each day in the NHL more than when he played 68 Lightning games two years ago as a 19-year-old rookie.
And coach Jon Cooper has seen an evolution in Connolly's game that might see him stick.
"He doesn't sit around and kind of wait for the game to come to him anymore," Cooper said. "He played a little bit nervous last year. He's much more assertive, skating with pucks, moving pucks, driving the net. Last year, when he first came to (the AHL), he spent half the night behind the net, and we had to push him in front of the net to say, 'Hey, this is where goals are scored.'
"He went from a perimeter player, to now he slashes into the hole, he drives, he's backchecking hard. Instead of playing the game 3 feet from the boards all over the rink, he now plays in the middle of the ice, plays in front of the net, and it's been really good for his game."
Connolly credited Cooper for being hard on him all of last year in Syracuse, where he played 71 games. Cooper said that Connolly didn't hang his head after being sent down despite a strong training camp in which he "did everything he could do."
Connolly said he has things in perspective.
"You play in the American League and you're put up and down, and once you get back (to the NHL) you don't want to go back," Connolly said. "I think, for me I appreciate everything a little more than when I came in here my first year, maybe took a few things for granted. You just take it day by day and stay on an even keel and don't get too far ahead of yourself, and try to play well every night."
The Lightning brought up Connolly to spark a stale offense, and Cooper said the wing has delivered in two games on the third line.
"I don't know what's going to happen in the future, but I don't think that's the last goal Brett Connolly is going to score in the near future," Cooper said. "Sometimes you have to get the monkey off your back, and he did it. When that happens, it starts to come in bunches."
With honors: Syracuse forward Nikita Kucherov was named the AHL player of the week. He totaled nine points (five goals, four assists) in three games and extended his scoring streak to seven games.

Agilysys and InfoSystems Ship the Largest IBM eServer Cluster 1350 Through the Channel
CLEVELAND, April 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of enterprise computer technology solutions, and its partner InfoSystems, Inc., one of Tennessee's fastest growing systems integration companies and a long-time Agilysys KeyLink Systems Group (KSG) reseller, recently shipped the largest IBM eServer Cluster 1350 with Cluster Systems Management (CSM) through the channel. The solution was shipped to COLSA, a federal agency private contractor specializing in missile flight simulation testing. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20030915/AGLSLOGO)
COLSA, ranked No. 15 in the world of supercomputing sites, was charged with finding a faster, less expensive way for this particular federal agency to continuously run a cluster for a one to two week timeframe. According to IBM's Pam McCarthy, vice president of federal systems sales, COLSA ranks very high on the company's list of valued customers because they are known for their outstanding reputation for solving some of the most challenging computational problems in the world. "Agilysys KSG, InfoSystems and IBM worked together to deliver a best of breed open systems compute capability that will better enable COLSA to address future computational challenges," said McCarthy.
"The integrated team leveraged industry standards and advanced technology in a unique and innovative way." "We could have worked directly with IBM and bypassed both Agilysys KSG and InfoSystems altogether," said Mike Whitlock, hypersonic missile technology program director, COLSA. "But we value the support and resources of both companies and together they made it easier to meet our deadlines by providing us reliable products and sound technology advice." "This project illustrates why partners such as InfoSystems and their customers choose to work with Agilysys KSG," said Mark Taylor, vice president and general manager, IBM Business Unit at Agilysys KSG. "Our strong relationships with top suppliers combined with our knowledgeable presales technical support team make it easier for our partners and their end customers to achieve their information technology goals."
The Cluster 1350 combines the power of two different node choices -- OpenPower and xSeries servers -- with IBM Cluster CSM for Linux software. IBM storage products and leading third-party networking components were also integral components in the final solution. "Shortly after IBM's eServer Cluster 1350 with CSM was installed, we performed a benchmark comparison with COLSA's dated competitive architecture and determined they received three times faster performance out of each node while using the new server," said Clay Hales, president at InfoSystems, Inc. "The business of being a successful systems integration provider hinges on the people and companies we have working with us. Almost any company can call IBM and work with them directly, but we have a competitive advantage through our relationship with Agilysys KSG."

how about a more generic dhcp option#->value field?
Quote from: robbyt on May 09, 2006, 03:55:59 pmhow about a more generic dhcp option#->value field?No thanks. It won't be used very often and we are not going to start cluttering the interface with this stuff for 1% usage.
mount -w /
if ($dhcpifconf['tftp-server-name']) $dhcpdconf .= " option tftp-server-name \"{#dhcpifconf['tftp-server-name']}\";\n";
This bounty has been claimed by Daniel S. Haischt, who sent us some patched files, from which we were able to create a modification with a more minimal impact.To add this feature, mount the filesystem in a writeable mode (if not already) with:Code: [Select]mount -w /and then add the following code to /etc/inc/services.inc, starting at line 238:Code: [Select]if ($dhcpifconf['tftp-server-name']) $dhcpdconf .= " option tftp-server-name \"{#dhcpifconf['tftp-server-name']}\";\n";Then just change your config.xml and addCode: [Select]<tftp-server-name>X.X.X.X</tftp-server-name>under pfsense/dhcpd/lan. That should do it.I agree with robbyt that adding the ability to set DHCP options is a common thing that is not supporting a 5% minority but actually would be used by a lot of people, and the changes to the interface would be minimal.Best wishes,Carl
foreach($dhcpifconf['options'] as $optname => $dhcpopt) { $dhcpdconf .= " option {$optname} \"{$dhcpopt}\";\n";}
<options> <tftp-server-name>foobar</tftp-server-name></options>
I think many many people would use a feature such as this. IP phones are becoming more and more popular and the easiest way to configure a network of them is with the tftp DHCP option. I know this option would be used more than some of the other more specialized options that are already in pfsense. I truely hope more people voice their need for this feature and you reconsider adding it to the gui.

Ten days ago, Newscenter 11 brought you the story about the need LOVE's Kitchen still had for Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving, LOVE's Kitchen had everything it needed to provide a meal for those who may not have one otherwise. Because of the community's support, several hundred people enjoyed a traditional Thanksgiving meal.
Fannie Johnson, executive director of LOVE's Kitchen, tells us, "The community stepped up great. We've got a great meal in there. We've got all the traditional stuff everybody's used to. We've got turkey dressing, cranberry sauce, all kind of cakes, macaroni and cheese, sweet potatoes, the turkeys are smoked with extra flavor this year; I mean everything's wonderful. The community came through. They didn't want anybody hungry. They wanted to be thankful and for everybody else to have something to be thankful for."
Johnson is also thankful for the volunteers that give of their time to make the Thanksgiving meal happen for so many, but it's not just the ones who volunteer on Thanksgiving that make it possible.
"The 20 or 30 that we've got is working out wonderful. Everything's moving smooth, and a lot of the volunteers that came before today is what made today so easy, and then we have some volunteers coming tomorrow to kind of help us do that end of year straighten up and clean up," says Johnson.
One of those volunteers has been coming for the last several years and brings his entire family with him. For them, it is simply a way to help make the day brighter for others.
Willis Melancon, who has been volunteering at LOVE's Kitchen for the last five or six years, explains why he does it, "It just gives us a sense of giving back to the community, and we feel so thankful for my whole family being here and all the things that we have. We just want to help those that maybe aren't having it as good a time as a lot of other people. We just want to see if we can't help them have a good day."
The work of all the volunteers is spelled out in front of LOVE's Kitchen, which stands for Lauderdale Outreach Volunteer Effort.

Unless the Kalamazoo LUG has a lot of members and they decided to spend part of their recent meeting visiting the LXF forums, but no, the time doesn't match up. Hmm.

I have had one on Dad's ZB ever since the old filters became hard to come by and no problems except maybe next time I change it I will try to prime the filter with a little oil so the engine oil pressure comes up a bit quicker.
This year I have been running Kawasaki 30wt. in it because it still has the zinc in it and I am under the impression zinc helps oil cling to the internal parts of the engine.
I recommend the NAPA #1061 filter for use with the #60A23 adapter. The #1061 is the classic filter that first replaced the Chevy canister filters, on the mouse motors. It has no backflow valve and has shown superior results in testing. It has excellent results for ten micron filtration. It is as common as dirt, and it is cheap to buy.
The oil filter does not determine the initial oil pressure, on startup, on MM engines. The filter is supplied with excess oil after the engine pressure is satisfied. The filter also has its own low pressure release system to keep filter canister pressure much lower than the engine oil pressure.The oil jute canister filters would crush in the canister if pressures climbed on a dirty filter element.
Classic GM engines flow oil from the center outward when filtering, while MM engines flow oil through filters from the outer areas to the center. MM engines flow oil in this manner because when Purolator invented the oil filter, there was only a stack of F5 felt washers to perform filtration. When the operator removed the filter bottom drain; the oil flow was reversed in the filter to push the trash off of the felt faces. The flow direction was retained when disposable filters came on the scene. The reverser feature was dropped as it became unnecessary.
GM flows the oil from the core outward to lessen the possibility of a filter canister blowout. Unfortunately that little idea gets lost in the real world. I have experienced many spin on canisters blow from poor manufacture. The AC filters that were sold by WallyWorld about fifteen years ago were particularly fond of developing pin holes near the riffled area of the outer canister. Fram also supplied crap spin on filters too. I almost lost a 258 Jeep motor when the Fram filter decided to blow at the roll seam.
For many moons I have sworn off Fram and AC filters. I have tested WIX/NAPA filters to pressures that make the outer can straighten out, but none have blown. That is why I use WIX/NAPA filters.
As of the current time; I have been told that most of the diesel grade oils still contain zinc. The EPA has ruled that zinc must go away very soon. I only use diesel grade oils in everything from lawn mowers on up. Expensive oil is cheaper than overhauls.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (March 5, 2013) - Tallahassee Community College completed a five-game sweep of Grand Rapids (Mich.) Community College on Tuesday, defeating the Raiders by the scores of 17-3 and 6-4 at Eagle Field.
In the nightcap, Tallahassee rallied from an early 3-0 deficit to nail down its 12th straight victory and 22nd overall on the season (22-3).
With the game tied at 4-all, the Eagles plated two runs in the bottom of the sixth on an error by Grand Rapids first baseman Nick Jansen.
Victor Cole (4-0), who pitched the final 3.1 innings in relief of starter Robert Garcia, retired the side in the seventh to pick up the win. He and Garcia limited Grand Rapids to only four hits and combined for 11 strikeouts.
Clay Fenwick (2-for-4, R), Trent Higginbothem (2-for-2, 2 RBI) and John Price, Jr. (2-for-3, R) had two hits each in game two.
In the opener, the Eagles' bats were on full display in a 17-3 triumph.
Tallahassee had seven hits in its first at-bat and jumped out to a 6-0 lead. By the end of the third inning, the lead had grown to 14-3 and the Eagles' hit total was up to 15.
Tallahassee scored its final three runs in the fourth, the last coming on a passed ball that brought home James Abbatinozzi from third.
The Eagles' 16-hit attack was led by Price, Jr. (3-for-3, 2 R, 3 RBI), Chad Mabini (3-for-3, 4 R) and Kevin Cruz (3-for-3, R, 4 RBI), who had three hits apiece.
Nick Deckert (3-0) went the distance for the five-inning victory. He allowed six hits and struck out six.
Earlier in the day on Tuesday, Tallahassee learned it had moved to No. 3 in the latest FCSAA Baseball Coaches' Poll. The Eagles trail only Polk State College and Miami Dade College in this week's rankings.
Scheduling update
Tallahassee's originally-scheduled weekend opponent Dakota County (Minn.) Technical College pulled out of Friday and Saturday's games late last week. It took a few days, but the Eagles have filled the gap in the schedule.
Marion Military (Ala.) Institute will come to Eagle Field for games on Friday (4 p.m.) and Saturday (2 p.m.).

Chevy S10 4x4 Blazer & Pickup Soild Axle Swap - S-10 SwapPosted in How To: Transmission Drivetrain on January 1, 2009
S-10 truck owners have been writing in for ages trying to find ways to make their vehicles more off-road capable, and we've finally got a great answer for them. Diversified Creations in Brighton, Michigan, has a long history of messing with the S-10 pickups and Blazers (and GMC Sonomas and Jimmys) by building hot-rod street and trail trucks with big V-8s stuffed under the hood. The company has finally come out with a unique yet simple solid-axle swap for these mini 4x4s from GM. Since many S-10 owners are budget-minded, the Diversified crew decided that their first offering wouldn't come with high-zoot shocks or coilovers, but rather a simple coil and link suspension kit. Though it requires cutting, welding, and a new front axle, the kit should come in less than the cost of an IFS lift kit.
The secret behind the kit is that it uses a Jeep TJ Wrangler front axle. Though a Dana 30 will work, the best option is to use a Rubicon Dana 44 (available from 2003 to 2006) with low gears and a front selectable locker. Since many aftermarket companies are making axles that are bolt-in replacements for the TJ originals, you can even use Dana 60s and Ford 9-inch axles from select companies. By going to a solid axle, your S-10 will have a greater selection of traction aids, better gearing possibilities, and stronger, more reliable front suspension, steering, and axle components.
4PhotosView Slideshow
13. When compared to an S-10 with an 8-inch suspension lift and smaller tires, the new solid-axle truck looks much more aggressive. Your buddies who don't know anything about trucks will be enthralled by its massive demeanor, and your S-10 cronies will be envious of the solid front axle hiding under your front bumper.
Mopar For GM Guys?
The word on the street (and trail) is that Mopar has been doing a great business with its Jeep JK Wrangler axles, which come complete with selectable lockers and are sold for less than $2,000 each. Now whether you have a TJ in need of some better traction or an S-10 looking for some solid footing, Mopar is here to help. They will be releasing JK Wrangler axles with TJ suspension brackets so you can swap them in with little to no headache. We'll christen them the TJK axles, and we expect they'll be available around the end of the year from your local Dodge/Mopar dealer.
