My first post here. Hi everyone.
I've got a little challenge for those into concurrent programming. Sometimes I'll find a way to use conccurent collections or atomics to improve concurrency but I've come across a problem where I can't and I was hoping to get an opinion from those much better at it than me.
I want to achieve the equivalent of this but without using synchornized on the accept method
public class SynchronizedSignalOrderer implements SignalReciever { private long nextSequenceNumber; private Map<Long,Signal<?>> delayed = new HashMap<Long, Signal<?>>(); private final SignalReciever delegate; public SynchronizedSignalOrderer(SignalReciever delegate, long startSequenceNumber) { this.delegate=delegate; this.nextSequenceNumber = startSequenceNumber; } @Override public synchronized void accept(Signal<?> signal) { if (nextSequenceNumber == signal.sequenceNumber()) { forward(signal); nextSequenceNumber++; catchUp(); } else { delay(signal); } } private void delay(Signal<?> signal) { delayed.put(signal.sequenceNumber(), signal); } private void catchUp() { Signal<?> signal = delayed.remove(nextSequenceNumber); while(signal != null) { forward(signal); nextSequenceNumber++; signal = delayed.remove(nextSequenceNumber); } } private final void forward(Signal<?> signal) { delegate.accept(signal); } }

From what I understand, they didn't exactly shut down online gambling per se. They made a law saying that you could not use a credit card to buy tokens for the purposes of online gambling. That indirectly shut down the business, how else would you get your money to the company?
Have a great day everyone!

Love on a budget: How to afford the ring
Continuing on our theme from last week…love on a budget!
Maybe things went so well on Valentine's Day that you're taking the big step to get engaged! Congratulations!
The first expense right out the gate is her engagement ring. The old rule of thumb was that a guy should spend an amount equal to 2-3 months of his salary. That seems pretty excessive.
Many couples these days choose to buy a tasteful but smaller diamond and then save up to buy the big one for the 5th anniversary. I like that idea of pulling together and thinking long-term!
You better shop around
It goes without saying that you should price shop for your diamond. First, learn about the 4 C's (cut, clarity, color, and carat). Then add a 5th C: cost. You don't necessarily have to pay the sticker price, so compare comparable rings and stones online and at multiple stores and be prepared to negotiate. That's not exactly the way they show it in jewelry store commercials, but this is real life!
Financing the stone
Some jewelry stores offer interest-free financing for up to a year, but the rates can skyrocket once that period expires. If you find yourself in that position, consider paying off the balance with a low-interest credit card and then aggressively pay off that card. Remember that taking on debt and even applying for credit will impact your credit score. That could come back to haunt you when you go house hunting.
The ring buying experience will be a very good indication of your future spouse's financial rationality. And it will be a great test of whether you both can think and act like a long-term couple.
Think of it this way—the best engagement (and wedding) gift you can give each other is a high credit score and some money in the bank! (I'm such a hopeless romantic.)

The Middle East, Seabourn Styleby Robin Cherry | April 1, 2007
Our correspondent reports on her luxury cruise to Oman and Dubai aboard the ultra-luxe Seabourn Spirit.
When the travel documents for my Seabourn cruise arrived in an elegant black leather case embossed with the company's logo, I suspected that these guys were onto something. Even the accompanying luggage tags would have made a lovely keepsake, if a baggage handler along the way had not also appreciated (and appropriated) them.
Seabourn is one of the world's top luxury lines. Its ships are smaller than those of most of its competitors; the company's full name, The Yachts of Seabourn, captures both the luxury and intimacy of its vessels.
No Worries My itinerary on Seabourn Spirit -- called Egypt and Pearls of Arabia -- charted a course that was both thrilling and daunting to a Middle East neophyte. The ship was fully booked one month prior to sailing, but the fact that we then sailed with vacancies led me to conclude that I was not alone in harboring concerns about visiting the region. Fortunately, they were unwarranted. The trip was magnificent. (I didn't find out until I was on board that the Spirit had been attacked by pirates off the coast of Somalia one year earlier. Seabourn wisely altered the route, swapping Kenya and the Seychelles for Oman and Dubai.)
We departed from Alexandria, Egypt, and made several stops in Egypt and one in Jordan before continuing on to Oman and Dubai. Hoping to spend a few hours in Alexandria, I had the brilliant idea of handling my own transportation. I took the train from Cairo to the station in Alexandria planning to take a cab to the port. After several extortionist offers, I accepted the lowest one from a young cab driver. Fifty feet later, the cab pulled up to a hotel. It turned out that my driver had a limited grasp of English and had agreed to drive me somewhere for 30 Egyptian pounds. He just didn't know where.
Salvation came in the form of man outside the hotel who helped me get through to the driver. The elderly man said "mena," which I now know means port. The driver, the gentleman and I all agreed that I wanted to go to the "mena." I breathed a sign of relief when I arrived at the port to see the Seabourn Spirit, my home for the next 16 days. Passengers who took the ship's transfer from the Four Seasons had a much easier go of it.
Sea Days There were two lecturers on the cruise: Ronnie Sampson, a Scottish historian; and Barbara Udell, an American psychologist. Sampson spoke eloquently on the history of the areas we visited, but it was his lecture on the great American naval hero, Stephen Decatur ("The Real Master and Commander") that introduced even the Americans to a little-known historical figure. Udell's health and wellness lectures were popular, but it was her informal conversation "Let's Talk" that gave her new fans an opportunity to really connect with her.
Seven sea days gave the ship's crew ample opportunities for creativity. A friend and I were invited to participate in the boutique's fashion show in exchange for a choice of a free hair styling or makeup application, 20% off a single purchase and 15% off a spa treatment. It worked like a charm as the black "flyaway travel pants" I modeled are now hanging in my closet. The day after the show, I followed my hair blow-out with a dramatic new haircut that elicited raves from fellow passengers and my friends back home.
Oh Man, Oman! After several days at sea, we reached Salalah, Oman. Two excursions were offered, and those of us who opted for the Sultanate Heritage tour over the Frankincense Trail were more satisfied. The Frankincense Trail included a visit to Job's Tomb (which my friend described as sand pit, though some consider it a sacred site) and an anticlimactic photo stop in which everyone huddled around a single frankincense tree. In fairness, when asked, the tour manager was quick to recommend Sultanate Heritage over the other one. Our first stop, on a beach overlooking the startling blue waters of the Indian Ocean, delighted all of us.
Oman, with its beautiful and varied terrain, is poised to be one of the world's great tourist destinations. And while the ancient town of Mirbat didn't offer much to see except for some ancient buildings, it was especially appreciated by amateur photographers like me. The fishery, where thousands of (thankfully, odorless) silvery sardines lay drying in the sun, was also a great photo op.
Our guide was knowledgeable and chatty, though neither I nor my fellow travelers shared his lustful appreciation for our bus driver's possession of three wives. "Each one lives in a different city!" We returned to the ship and as we sailed from Salalah, Seabourn threw a "Caviar Sail Away" party in the Sky Bar; chilled vodka and champagne were also served.
After two last sea days, our second stop in Oman was Khasab, a strategic peninsula jutting into the Straights of Hormuz, quite near Iran. The excursion manager stressed that there was little of interest in the city of Khasab, so I doubled up on excursions.
The morning offered a four-wheel-drive safari over "barren ridges with hairpin bends." The spine-tingling excursion lived up to its billing but it was worth every minute. The highlight came when we reached the top of a winding road with killer turns and were rewarded with a magnificent panorama of the Indian Ocean. The driver, who knew what was coming, looked over as the expressions of surprise and pleasure crossed our faces. Nonetheless, I was relieved to return to the ship in one piece.
Dress Code Since Oman is one of the most conservative countries in the Gulf, we were asked not to wear shorts or short-sleeved shirts. The dhow for our afternoon cruise through the fjords was supposed to come right up to the ship for guests to embark. Once it was determined that the seas were too choppy, and we would have to take the tender to shore and board the dhows there, we were sent scuttling to our rooms for long pants or sarongs so as not to offend the local residents.
The staff's sensitivity to local customs was respectful and especially appreciated by those of us who were new to the region. When we refueled off the coast of Jeddah, the crew comically rushed to sequester all alcohol and hide suggestive images (like the pictures of women in the spa and family photos from beach vacations). The cover of the book I was reading, Kinky Friedman's Mile High Club, showed a woman provocatively perched on the nose of a jetliner. It would have been considered so offensive, I thought maybe I should just burn it.
Cruising among the fjords of the Musandam Peninsula (Oman is sometimes called "the Norway of the Middle East") was spectacular. Pillows were placed around the ship and we leaned against them marveling at the mountains rising 2,000 out of the sea. We then stopped to enjoy the many dolphins frolicking by the boat and several guests took a swim in the surprisingly warm water. (This was billed as a snorkeling opportunity but there was little to see.) Returning to the ship as the sun set behind the mountains was sheer perfection.
Dubai Disembarkation After a short sail from Oman, the ship docked in Dubai on Sunday morning, but disembarkation wasn't until Monday, leaving us plenty of time to explore Dubai without the hassle of booking a hotel. During the day, most passengers took the City Tour, an overview that combined culture, sightseeing and shopping. Several guests had lunch or afternoon tea at the Dubai's impossibly glitzy hotel, the Burj al Arab.
The complimentary "Exclusively Seabourn" signature event in Dubai was a fitting finale to a magnificent cruise. We boarded four-wheel-drive vehicles and drove 45 minutes out of town to a beautifully-lit Bedouin campsite in the desert. There was an elaborate barbeque, but the evening's various entertainments were the highlight. Two women applied henna dye in record-setting time - an elaborately scrolled ankle tatoo was completed in under a minute. There was a tent offering sheesha - traditional Arabian water pipes. (Unless you like to smoke, you probably won't like it - but it's worth trying). Camels were available for rides (though be forewarned that camels sit down front legs first, making you feel like you're at the top of a roller coaster).
The evening's finale was a widely gyrating belly dancer who dazzled us by balancing a sword on various parts of her body as she danced. We returned to the ship blissfully content. Throughout the trip, we had been treated like kings and queens (or sheikhs and sheikhas). We had reveled in the warmth of our Arab hosts and the friendly professionalism of the ship's mostly European crew. We had slept, dined, relaxed and reveled in absolute luxury. We had seen a part of the world that gives many Americans pause and we left as ambassadors for the Middle East -- and for Seabourn.

Bit of a landing today.Thats a big defeat.
www.uibhfhaili.com Discussion Forum
I said the same at the game today if Cahill was on the frees it would have been a lot closer! At one point After missing two frees Dooley didn't want to hit the freesafter that. We have to remember the lads put in a mighty shift last week and the 7 day turn around isn't ideal especially coming up against a big physical side like Limerick.bracknaghboy wrote:Puckout statistics must make for very grim reading. Limerick found a free man with every one of theirs. In fact they has 2 sometimes 3 options for short ones.
The Offaly puckouts were slow and telegraphed and but for one or two the rest must have gone to a Limerick man. When this happens in the current possession based game you are goosed plain and simple. Management did little to attempt to rectify this.
The attack was so laboured for Offaly all match and with the lack of ball from puckouts it's no surprise that a miserly 10 points was the return. No real goal chances to speak of but for the penalty.
Felt sorry for the backs they were under pressure all day due to Limerick being allowed to win all their own puckouts and launch attacks at will. I had warned earlier in the week about Cleere and how lads need to be careful as he likes to get involved and boss the game. Dermot Shortt found out the hard way and it really game over after the red card.
Midfield didn't really function. The Limerick puckouts rarely went anywhere near them and any Offaly ones that did were lost. Cian Lynch seemed to pop up everywhere unchallenged, again management need to ask questions of themselves here.
So we had Dooley and Egan on frees in the 2 Westmeath games. Kelly then Dooley against Kilkenny. Bergin and then Dooley against Dublin. Egan and Dooley today. Lads time to make the mind up here with this. About 1-5 left behind today because of poor free taking. Late in the first half Egan took shoulder to the head and was down and in no shape to get up and take the free but it seems there was nobody else available to have a shot. Is Eoin Cahill worth a look if they feel Dooley isn't up to 70 mins play. Consistency with frees is now a must or else winnable games will get away from them.
Crowd were great today. Turned up in big numbers and roared the lads but alas were left to go home disappointed. I for one won't abandon them and I'd love to see a big crowd for the Laois and Antrim games as well. So we knew we were probably getting carried away a bit during the week but life is short and should be allowed to dream every once in a while! Limerick had their homework done. We are so starved of any glory that we were willing to hope against all hope that things were turned. They may well turn but the size of the task is now apparent (again) and management need to far more reactive as things unfold on the pitch as they did today if progress is to happen.

Horace Mann, the first Massachusetts secretary of education and a key figure in national reform efforts, is an excellent example of the multifaceted approach taken by education reformers. Mann was not an expert in the field of education when he was appointed to the Board of Education but was far better known as a lawyer and member of the Massachusetts Legislature.
Also that year ...
· Massachusetts establishes the Board of Education (BOE).
· Edward Everett is governor of Massachusetts.
Nicholas Tillinghast, the first principal of the Bridgewater Normal School, was born in Taunton, Massachusetts, on September 22, 1804. He attended West Point (1820-1824), taught for a time at Boston English High School and, prior to his Bridgewater experience, served as an assistant to Samuel Newman, principal of Barre Normal School in Massachusetts. A pioneer in education reform and a formidable leader, Tillinghast guided Bridgewater Normal School through its first 13 years.
Also that year ...
· Bridgewater Normal School, an institution for teacher training, opens in the old Bridgewater Town Hall with seven male and 21 female students.
· Abby Morton Diaz, a member of Bridgewater Normal School's first graduating class, becomes a prominent author and women's rights activist.
Legislature changes name of normal schools to State Normal Schools.
Also that year ...
· Bridgewater Alumni convention adopts a constitution and becomes an association with a president and vice president.
Bridgewater State Normal School opens its new school building, the first in America built specifically for this purpose. The building includes a model schoolroom. Today, a simple stone at the side of the main quadrangle facing School Street marks this historic location.
Also that year ...
· Legislature votes to establish teacher institutes.
· The Board of Education revises the academic term and mandates that students must attend three consecutive terms.
Marshall Conant appointed second principal of Bridgewater State Normal School.
Born in Pomfret, VT, on January 5, 1801, Marshall Conant began his teaching career in a district school. At a very young age, he developed an interest in mechanics, astronomy and mathematics. Years later, as principal of the Bridgewater Normal School, he pushed the school in a more scientific direction with an emphasis on science and mathematics. He also laid the groundwork for a future building program.
Also that year ...
· Legislature passes statute opening the way for college students to attend normal schools for teacher preparation.
Albert Gardner Boyden, Class of 1849, appointed as third principal of Bridgewater State Normal School. Born in South Walpole, MA in 1827, he began teaching at age 14 and moved up the ranks in his profession. He returned to Bridgewater as chief assistant to Tillinghast and later to Marshall Conant, whom he replaced as principal. By the end of his 46-year tenure, the institution had grown from a school employing four instructors for 67 students to an institution employing 23 faculty for 300 students. The one building, 1.25-acre campus had grown to encompass five buildings on 16 acres.
Albert E. Winship enrolls in Bridgewater, serves during the Civil War, has the distinction of being the only Bridgewater student to graduate in uniform; teaches at Bridgewater from 1868-1872; and eventually owns his own publishing company.
Sarah Lewis enrolls at Bridgewater. The first clearly documented student of color, she graduates in 1869.
Shuji Isawa comes from Japan to attend Bridgewater. Born in 1851, he grew up in the period known in Japan as the "New Meiji Restoration." The Japanese government had ended centuries of isolation, and students were encouraged to study abroad and immerse themselves in western cultures. Albert and Isabella Boyden both developed a close relationship with Isawa that lasted long after he left the normal school. After graduating from Bridgewater in 1877, Isawa studied at Harvard University where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree. He returned to Japan to become the father of teacher education, playing the same role Horace Mann had assumed in the United States.
Arthur Clarke Boyden is appointed to succeed his father as principal of Bridgewater State Normal School. Born on September 22, 1852, most of his 81 years were spent in some capacity at Bridgewater. He was a graduate, a prominent member of the science faculty and vice principal prior to becoming principal. Arthur earned a BA and MA from Amherst College. During his tenure, the institution grew to 544 students and 42 faculty. Three new departments were established – biology, sociology and economics – and a new emphasis was placed on a junior high school curriculum and on the training of librarians.
Also that year ...
· Albert Gardner Boyden resigns as of Aug. 1.
· Arthur Boyden's nature study exhibit (first shown in 1904) wins a gold medal at the Oregon Exhibition. Arthur was a leading figure in the nature study movement.
· Harvard gives its students full credit for normal school course work.

† Entered service since above flag was made.
On December 10, 1924, the campus suffered a devastating fire that destroyed a number of buildings and precipitated what was probably the most severe crisis in its long history. The fire also threatened a number of nearby houses. The fire began in the main academic building behind the ceiling of the old gymnasium on the basement floor of the structure. The night watchman immediately gave the alarm, but the fire was difficult to reach with hoses and quickly spread up the open stairways to the roof. A lack of water pressure rendering the pumps less than fully effective also hindered the firefighting efforts.
Also that year ...
· John J. Kelly becomes the dean of men and remains in this position until elevated to presidency in 1937.
Massachusetts Legislature approves college status for normal schools and designates all normal schools as state teachers colleges, each headed by a president rather than a principal.
Zenos Scott, former superintendent of schools in Springfield, MA, is inaugurated as president of Bridgewater State Teachers College on November 13. Scott was a graduate of Indiana State Normal School and held a BS from Evansville College, an MA from Teachers College of Columbia University and an honorary PhD from Evansville College. Although his tenure was brief, he accomplished or set in motion many of the goals he set out in his inaugural address. These included an emphasis on sports as part of a well-rounded liberal education; an effort to offer more opportunities to male students; an outreach to alumni to provide continuing education; and the development of a graduate degree.
Also that year ...
· Arthur Clarke Boyden dies of complications from tonsillitis on March 15, the first Bridgewater leader to die in office.
· The country is in the throes of the Great Depression, which generated a back-to-school movement.
· Franklin Roosevelt introduces the Civil Works Administration program and Bridgewater benefits with several hundred dollars used to paint select buildings.
John J. Kelly succeeds Zenos Scott as president of Bridgewater State Teachers College. Kelly had been a member of the faculty for 19 years, the majority of which time he served as dean of men. He was born in Worcester, MA in 1883. In 1914, he graduated from Fitchburg Normal School with a focus on teaching practical arts. In 1918, he came to Bridgewater as an instructor in practical arts. Kelly presided over the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Bridgewater Normal School. President Kelly died in 1951. In 1956, the carillon bells were dedicated in his memory, and in 1966, the newly constructed gymnasium was named in his honor.
Also that year ...
· President Zenos Scott resigns as president and becomes superintendent of schools in St. Louis.
· Bridgewater implements a graduate program in the fall and offers a Master of Science in Education.
· Bridgewater holds its last three-year graduation; henceforth all graduating students receive a Bachelor of Science in Education.
· Clement Maxwell joins Bridgewater faculty and serves as head of the Department of English and Director of Graduate Studies.
The United States enters World War II and Bridgewater State students do their part. One widely publicized collective activity was the sorting of gasoline rationing cards that had become mixed up during their trip in the mail from Washington to Boston. When no one was available to reassemble the books, former faculty member Alice Beal, the state supervisor of elementary education, arranged for the task to be done by Bridgewater students. Students and faculty were transported to Boston along with tables, chairs and even lunches. Dean Pope organized the work crews, which over a three-day period sorted through two million cards.
Also that year ...
· Only 96 students enroll in Bridgewater. The unofficial count of Bridgewater graduates serving in World War II lists 403 names, 63 of whom are women. Several faculty members also served during the war.
Clement C. Maxwell becomes acting president and then president of Bridgewater State Teachers College. A native of Taunton who was born in 1898, he received his BA from Holy Cross in 1920 and his MA (1922) and PhD (1924) in English from Fordham and thus became the first Bridgewater president with an earned doctorate. One of the hallmarks of his administration was an increased emphasis on faculty scholarship. President Maxwell instituted Honor's Day which continues today as Honors Week.

U.S. action on climate policy is key to international treaty
WASHINGTON — Negotiators in Copenhagen will try to nail down all the main elements of a treaty to curb global warming in the next two weeks, but a final agreement won't be possible until the United States figures out what it will do to reduce emissions of heat-trapping pollution.
President Barack Obama plans to visit the talks on their final day to promise that the U.S. will cut its share of emissions and to press for a strong agreement. The world, however, will be watching to see whether he also signals a willingness to pressure Congress to enact the law that's needed to make that happen.
Despite charges by some critics that data on global temperatures have been altered, the evidence of climate change is conclusive and worsening.
In the past few years, Arctic summer sea ice shrank so much that even glaciologists were startled. For the first time, scientists reported that Greenland and Antarctica are shrinking as ice breaks off into the oceans faster. At the same time, the long-term trend of warming continues, according to temperature data kept by U.S. government agencies.
"It's extremely hard to get a full-blown treaty without the United States," said Dan Esty, a professor of environmental law and policy at Yale University. "We would have had, if the United States had come ready to negotiate on the question of targets and timetables, a chance to bring China and India into the fold."
China and India have agreed to improve energy efficiency, meaning the growth of their emissions will be reduced. However, they're resisting any deadline for when their emissions should peak and decline.
"I think it's going to take presidential leadership to get the U.S. in a position to really move forward on climate change," Esty said.
The Copenhagen meeting, which begins Monday, was designed to reach agreement on:
- How much industrialized countries will reduce heat-trapping pollution.
The U.S. offer, made Nov. 25, is about a 17 percent reduction from 2005 levels by 2020. Using the 1990 baseline, the international benchmark, that's only a 4 percent reduction. An assessment by climate scientists in 2007 said industrial countries need to cut emissions by 25 percent to 40 percent between the baseline year of 1990 and 2020.
Yvo de Boer, the U.N. official overseeing the negotiations, said the industrialized world's pledges taken together were "not yet where science says we need to be to avoid the worst impacts of climate change."
Jonathan Lash, the president of the World Resources Institute, an environmental policy research organization, said it was understandable that Obama didn't want to overstep what Congress had indicated it might do.
"I think the most important thing is to have an unequivocal signal that we're on a path to de-carbonize the U.S. economy," Lash said. "All of the industry leaders I work with in USCAP" — U.S. Climate Action Program, an environment-business group — "are looking for that certainty. I think that once that certainty is there, the change in the U.S. economy will go very quickly."
Lash said that Obama's plan to attend the Copenhagen talks was "a very strong indication of his commitment to action," but that he hoped the president would use the international stage to give Congress a deadline to pass a climate and energy law.
Competing for the attentions of Congress and Obama is revamping health care in America, which the administration earlier this year made a higher priority than climate legislation.
The Energy Action Coalition, a group of 50 youth organizations, started a campaign last month that it calls "It's Game Time, Obama."
The organization worked to turn out the youth vote for Obama and appreciates his work on climate change so far, said Jessy Tolkan, the group's executive director.
Nonetheless, the coalition plans to keep up pressure on the president and members of Congress for a strong climate bill, she said, because "there's no chance to get that legislation if he's not out there selling it to the American people."
Ralph Izzo, the head of the Public Service Enterprise Group, an energy company in New Jersey, said he had mixed views of the president's efforts on energy issues. He said he liked the Department of Energy's use of stimulus money for a green economy.
"But I wouldn't give them high grades on their effort to enact legislation."
Izzo also said he thought the administration was doing the right thing by letting the Environmental Protection Agency proceed with regulations to curb carbon emissions. He said that a law would be a better approach, but that EPA preparations could help push Congress to act.
Major environmental groups think that a new law would be better than EPA regulatory action for reducing greenhouse gas emissions because it would be faster, cheaper and more certain, said David Bookbinder, the Sierra Club's chief climate counsel.
Next week, negotiators at Copenhagen will discuss "prompt-start" funding to help developing countries adapt to climate change and remake their economies to use cleaner energy. The bigger challenge will be long-term financing that encourages countries such as China to reduce emissions.
"There is no question China should be supported, in particular technologically," said Sun Guoshun, the first secretary at the Chinese Embassy. "If China does not have access to advanced technology, its current investment in infrastructure will have a lock-in effect on future greenhouse gas emissions."
China reportedly has objected to a goal of reducing emissions by half globally by 2050.
Scientists have said that such a huge reduction is necessary to prevent the concentration of gases in the atmosphere from exceeding 450 parts per million. At that level, they say, there'd be a 50 percent chance of preventing temperatures from rising more than about 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
They also say, however, that this is no guarantee of safety, because not enough is known about how much of a temperature increase the Earth can tolerate before damage reaches a point of no return.
Climate scientist James Hansen, the director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said the world should keep the threshold at 350 parts per million, down from the present 387.
The lower concentration is better, said John Holdren, the president's science adviser, but "there are relatively few people who think it's practical to get to that level on any time scale of policy interest."

Borger and Buthe aiming for more Stare Jablonki memories
First off the German duo defeated Canada's Taylor Pischke and Melissa Humana-Paredes 2-0 (21-13, 21-14) and they followed that result with a 2-0 (21-17, 21-17) victory over Russia's Alexandra Moiseeva and Evgenia Ukolova.
"They are both pretty good spikers and I think the first set was really tight and we served pretty well and that stopped them getting into their normal game.
"In the second game we made a lot of service errors and that allowed them to come back. They are a good team and they had a good side out, so they made it a real fight at the end."
The pair have fond memories of the Polish venue having made their breakthrough at the 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships where they won silver, their first Beach Volleyball World Tour success.
In 2014 they have added silver at the Gstaad Grand Slam and bronze at the Berlin Grand Slam and have used the three week break since the Klagenfurt Grand Slam to train at home in Germany in preparation for Stare Jablonki.
"I think the memories aren't only from last year," Buthe said. "We always felt at home here; people are friendly, we like the courts, we like the sand and the atmosphere here.
"For sure we have great memories from last year, but also from years before and we've had top 10 results here, so it is a great place for us and we want to keep on making this place a good place for us."
Slovakian pair riding tide of confidence
Natalia Dubovcova and Dominika Nestarcova showed their increasing confidence by claiming two wins from two.
First they defeated Canada's Heather Bansley and Sarah Pavan 2-1 (10-21, 21-16, 15-13) and then followed up with a 2-0 (21-17, 21-16) win over Sweden's Camilla Nilsson and Tadva Yoken.
"The weather isn't great for us, it's a little windy and we don't really like that, but it was important that we won the two games, so we are happy," Dubovcova said.
"That is the first time we've played against them (Nilsson and Yoken), but they took Kolocova and Slukova (Kristyna Kolocova and Marketa Slukova, Czech Republic) to a tie-break so we knew we had to be careful and we had to play well."
The 2014 World Tour has marked something of a breakthrough for Dubovcova and Nestarcova, who ended their wait for their first World Tour medals when they won bronze at the Stavanger Grand Slam.
They then won a second bronze at the Long Beach Grand Slam and their success has been reflected in their growing belief on court.
"It is much higher," Nestarcova said. "Before Stavanger we had only finished in fifth place (quarterfinal) and it was really tough to get better than that.
"We always seemed to lose a close game, so to win your last game in a tournament and go home with a win is great."
The double-gender US$800,000 FIVB Stare Jablonki Grand Slam runs from Tuesday August 19 until Sunday August 24 when the men's medal matches take place. It is the 13th event and the ninth Grand Slam on the 2014 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour calendar that features 10 Grand Slams and nine Open tournaments.
The 2014 World Tour began at the Fuzhou Open in China in April and concludes at the Durban Open in South Africa in December. Next up on the World Tour calendar is the Sao Paolo Grand Slam which runs from September 23-28.

When Osama was killed and his compound was raided back in 2011, they seized all his stuff as part of the raid. Now today in 2017, the CIA's released a bunch of information about images/files on his computer, which is publicly available, and it's been making the news rounds.
Though I can't link it right now, there's a brief listing of some of the weirder files in this gizmodo article:
https://gizmodo.com/the-42-weirdest-mov ... 1820046327
Where, if you look at the list, there's this notable little file: [MSOMS-ANIME][MCT][534][nooood].mp4
Anime? And a long-running one, by the look of the number? Well, if you google MSOMS-ANIME and MCT, you'll find out that it's an Arabic fansub for Detective Conan. Episode 534 is this arc:

So, Osama had Detective Conan on his computer. He probably watched it.
I wonder who his favorite character was.

Total time: About 1 hour.
Servings: 12 éclair or cream puff shells.
Note: Inspired by a recipe by Rose Levy Beranbaum in "The Pie and Pastry Bible." For savory pâte à choux, omit the vanilla bean.
Heat the oven to 400 degrees, and place a rack in the center of the oven. On a sheet of parchment paper, using a permanent marker, draw templates of the eclairs or cream puffs to help you pipe the batter. For the eclairs, draw 12 rectangles measuring 4 1/2 by 1 1/2 inches, spacing the rectangles about 2 inches apart (they will puff and spread as they bake). For the cream puffs, draw 2 1/2-inch circles, spacing the circles about 2 inches apart. Flip the parchment so the marker is on the underside of the sheet (you should still be able to see the templates), and place the parchment on a baking sheet.
In a medium-size, wide heavy-bottom saucepan, combine the butter, water, salt, sugar and vanilla seeds, and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Remove from heat and stir in the flour (stir quickly or the flour lumps will cook). Return the pan to low heat and cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes to cook the flour slightly and rid the mixture of any starchy, floury taste.
Remove the pan from the heat and place the dough in the bowl of a food processor or stand mixer. If using a food processor, process the dough for 15 seconds to cool slightly and release steam (leave the tube open), then add all of the eggs and egg whites at once. Immediately continue to process for 30 seconds to combine and form the batter. If using a stand mixer, beat the dough with the paddle attachment until most of the steam has subsided, then add the eggs and egg whites, 1 at a time, until each is incorporated and a batter is formed.
Remove the batter to a bowl set over an ice bath and continue to stir gently just until the batter cools slightly and thickens (it should be thick enough to hold its shape when piped).
Dab a little of the batter underneath the 4 corners of the parchment paper so it sticks to the baking sheet. Place the rest of the batter in a large pastry bag fitted with a large round tip (the hole should measure just over one-half inch in diameter).
Pipe the batter evenly onto the paper to cover each of the templates; the piped batter will rise about one-half inch off the parchment paper.
Place the sheet in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the pastry is richly golden and evenly colored on the sides and top, and is firm when tapped. Turn off the oven and place the handle of a wooden spoon in the door to keep it barely open. Leave the pastries in the oven for an additional 30 minutes to give them time to dry out and set up.
Remove the pastries and place them on a rack, leaving a little space in between each. Prick the side or underside of each with the tip of a paring knife or skewer, and set aside until the pastries are cooled to room temperature, then use or fill as desired.

Pâte-à-choux is the stuff of magic in the kitchen. Pipe a soft, sticky dough onto a baking sheet and slide it into a hot oven. In mere minutes the dough puffs up -- practically exploding to double, even triple, its original size -- right before your eyes. Out of the oven, pâte-à-choux cools to a golden-brown shell, crisp yet delicate and lighter than air. It's downright mesmerizing.
Maybe you've never heard of pâte-à-choux, but you've no doubt savored it at one time or another. Also known as cream puff dough, it's the magic behind crisp éclair shells and towering cream puff pastries, savory profiteroles and cheesy gougères.
Even better? Pâte-à-choux is really simple to make. All it takes is butter, water, flour and eggs, perhaps a touch of sugar and salt, to get you started.
Combine water, butter, sugar and salt in a pot or saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add some flour. Stir the mixture quickly -- this part of the recipe does require some elbow grease -- to evenly combine the ingredients and hydrate the flour. Move too slowly and the flour will cook up in lumps, just like dumplings. Stir the mixture just a few minutes over low heat to cook out any extra moisture and develop the gluten needed for good structure.
As it's stirred, the mixture will come together in a single mass, and you'll notice a thin film forming on the bottom of the pan. At this point, it's time to add the eggs.
Most recipes call for adding the eggs one at a time using a mixer or stirring by hand to properly develop the dough (simple as it may sound, constant stirring can really tone an arm). But for the best volume, skip the mixer and the workout, and pull out the food processor. I learned about the trick in Rose Levy Beranbaum's classic "The Pie and Pastry Bible." It's the fastest and easiest method I've tried (all of the eggs are added at once rather than one at a time), and it increased the volume of my pâte-à-choux by a third.
And where most pâte-à-choux recipes call for adding whole eggs, Beranbaum also mentions substituting some egg whites, something I've seen in a few other recipes, which helps to increase the overall structure and crispness of the baked pastry.
Use the pastries in a day or so, or freeze until you need them (they keep well frozen; simply refresh them in a warm oven). Fill them with pastry cream and top with chocolate glaze for eclairs, or stuff them full of chicken salad or a mousse for profiteroles. Adding grated cheese to the dough will give you classic gougères, or be creative and fold other spices, even herbs or citrus zest, into the dough for other savory or sweet notes.
In the summertime, my favorite is a classic cream puff. Halve the puffs (I like mine on the generous side) and fill with freshly whipped cream. Spoon over fresh fruit -- cherries, berries, figs, perhaps thinly sliced nectarine ribbons macerated with a little sugar and liqueur -- and serve. It makes for a dramatic presentation -- magical even.

Automated Deburring/Finishing Speeds Throughput
By automating deburring operations rather than performing secondary finishing processes offline, Orange Vise Co., Union City, CA, a manufacturer of CNC machine vises and quick-change fixturing components, has eliminated several time-consuming and laborious processes—processes that had been slowing the shop down. So says company founder Eric Sun, who emphasizes that his company's use of advanced abrasive technology allows machining-center operators implement in-process surface finishing.
In use at Orange Vise is a Mori Seiki NHX4000 high-speed horizontal machining center.
To remove burrs during fine engraving, Orange Vise opts to use automated deburring with abrasive disc brushes, in place of grinding.
As with most CNC machining centers, the deburring process typically requires taking parts offline and hand-finishing them using a variety of abrasive tools. Sun not only wanted to automate the finishing process, but also eliminate the messy grinding process the company had been using to achieve a specific surface finish.
Milling Cutters Not in the Picture
Orange Vise builds its vises with a cast-iron body, with selectively hardened surfaces as high as 50 to 60 Rc. That requires grinding, as milling cutters would wear out too quickly. Out of necessity, Orange Vise also would grind noncritical unhardened surfaces to create a uniform appearance over the entire body."This process involved removing, cleaning and then repositioning parts several times," says Sun, "in order to grind each face. That process proved time intensive, particularly for the work that was purely cosmetic."
To the rescue came a new line of abrasive disc brushes (NamPower, from Brush Research Manufacturing Los Angeles, CA), designed to allow CNC operators to automate the deburring process while delivering an ideal surface finish in the same operation.
"We started using the brushes for deburring, but quickly discovered they also provided a really nice surface finish," says Sun.
Composed of flexible abrasive-nylon filaments bonded to a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic base, the abrasive-disc brushes contain a unique combination of ceramic and silicon-carbide abrasive. These abrasive filaments work like flexible files, conforming to part contours, wiping and filing across part edges and surfaces to deliver optimum burr-removal rates along with the desired surface finish. Other common uses are edge blending, part cleaning and rust removal. The ceramic abrasive tackles material removal, but tends to cut a bit coarse. The silicon carbide acts as a buffer to the cutting action. The result is deburring and finishing in a single operation. The brushes work well with nonferrous materials, as well as cast iron, mild steel and ductile iron, stainless and alloy steels, titanium and high-nickel alloys.
General Purpose or High Density?
The unique combination of automated deburring and surface finishing eliminates several time-consuming and laborious processes at Orange Vise.
Sun's first decision was between the brush's two available fill configurations: the Dot style, recommended for general-purpose deburring and surface finishing; and the Turbine style, which has a higher-density fill for more aggressive deburring.
To achieve the smoothest finish possible and approximate the ground surfaces of the CNC vise, Sun selected the Dot-style brush and intentionally reduced spindle speed.
"The surface finish was good enough that we actually were blending it with our ground finishes," says Sun. "With large surfaces that required multiple passes, there are no visible blends. The whole part looks like it is done in one pass. Needless to say, the brushes speed up the process quite a bit."
Broader Use than Originally Expected
Orange Vise has found the Dot-style NamPower brush to be flexible enough to conform to features of varying heights, proving useful on other parts manufactured at the company.
"We're finding more and more uses for them," says Sun. "We use the same brushes for aluminum, steel, cast iron and several other materials without having to swap them out very often."
One such application, and one of its primary purposes, is for edge blending. According to Sun, Orange Vise uses a variety of deburring tools, including a 45-deg. chamfer. Although the tool doesn't typically leave a burr, when it begins to wear burrs can crop up. That possibility previously required an Orange Vise employee to inspect each part and remove any burrs by hand. Now the company automatically deburrs chamfered holes and edges using the NamPower brush.
In addition, Sun says Orange Vise performs engraving on the vice jaws using a ball-end mill. Although the engraving on the underside of the vice doesn't require deburring, it specifies finer engraving on the top surface. For this operation it employs a 45-deg. V-bit, which can create burrs. To the rescue—again: the NamPower brush.
"Grinding would be so much more work," says Sun. "With the brushes it really doesn't take any extra effort at all. It adds maybe 30 sec. to the process." MFArticle provided by Brush Research Mfg. Co., Inc., Los Angeles, CA: 323/261-2193; www.brushresearch.com

Minor Guardianships
Minor Guardianships - Grand Traverse County Probate Court
There are 2 types of Minor Guardianships; full guardianship and limited guardianship.
For a full guardianship, any of the following situations must have occurred:
Parental rights of both parents or the surviving parent must have been terminated or suspended by the parent's death, disappearance, or confinement in jail or other place of detention. A petition can also be filed if a court has suspended or terminated the parent's rights after finding the parent or parents incompetent.
A full guardianship may be granted if the parent or parents have permitted the minor to reside with another person and have not provided the other person with the legal authority for the care and maintenance of the minor.
A full guardianship may also be granted if the biological parents of the minor were never married to each other and the custodial parent has died or disappeared, and the other parent has not been granted legal custody by a court order. In this situation, the proposed guardian must be related to the minor within the 5th degree by marriage, blood, or adoption.
For more information visit the
Full Guardianship of Minors Instructions page
For a limited guardianship a Petition for Appointment of Limited Guardian can only be completed by the custodial parent(s) of the minor. Both parents, or the 1 parent with legal and physical custody must sign the petition and voluntarily consent to the guardianship and the suspension of his/her parental rights.
A copy of the child custody/support order and any other modifications made to those orders must be filed with the petition. Additionally, a copy of the minor's birth certificate must be filed with the petition.

Obama Unveils Proposed Changes to NSA Phone Data Rules
President Says 'Government Should Not Collect or Hold This Data in Bulk'
WASHINGTON—Phone companies would shoulder much of the workload under a revamped version of the National Security Agency's U.S. phone-data surveillance program, as detailed Thursday by the White House.
Under the proposal—much of which was revealed earlier this week—the government would no longer store phone records in bulk. Instead, those would remain at telecom companies, to be searched when officials obtain a court order or, in emergencies, without such an order....

The Alzheimer's Association commends the independent Alzheimer's Study Group (ASG) on their report released today, "A National Alzheimer's Strategic Plan: The Report of the Alzheimer's Study Group". The report explains the looming national crisis created by Alzheimer's disease and offers real solutions for the nation.
Alzheimer's Association President and CEO Harry Johns, along with members of the Congressional Task Force on Alzheimer's Disease called for the creation of the Alzheimer's Study Group in July of 2007. Today the Alzheimer's Association is pleased to receive the report on behalf of the larger Alzheimer community.
"You can be assured that the Alzheimer's Association will play a leading role in seeking the enactment of the core recommendations present in the ASG report, says Johns, "There must be an investment in Alzheimer's proportionate to the current and future impact of the disease. This investment must be far more than the grossly inadequate funding today."
The ASG report confirms that we will spend nearly $20 trillion on Alzheimer's by the middle of the century. That's equal to 25 stimulus bills — more than one stimulus sized bill every other year between now and then.
Johns continues, "For the federal government, state government and families – the economic impact of Alzheimer's is devastating. We must seize the solutions presented in the ASG report and invest in initiatives that result in better coordinated care, more supportive services for families and ultimately the prevention of the disease. An investment in Alzheimer's is not only good social policy, it is an economic necessity."
The Alzheimer's Association also thanks ASG co-chairs Former Speaker Newt Gingrich and Former Senator Bob Kerrey, ASG members Christine Cassel, Meryl Comer, Steven E. Hyman, Henry McCance, Mark McClellan, Sandra Day O'Connor, James Runde, David Satcher, and Harold Varmus, and ASG Executive Director Robert Egge for their outstanding work.
The Alzheimer's Association
The Alzheimer's Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research. Our mission is to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. Our vision is a world without Alzheimer's. For more information, visit www.alz.org.

birth control methods are more convenient to use than
others. Consider the following when choosing a birth control method:
Permanent or longer-term methods such as
tubal ligation or
vasectomy, the
intrauterine device (IUD), the hormonal implant,
the shot, and the hormone patch or vaginal ring offer the most
convenience for many people. With these methods, you do not have to take a pill
daily, keep a birth control method handy for when you have sex, or carefully
monitor your menstrual cycle.
All users of long-term
methods who have any risk of
sexually transmitted infection (STI) exposure should use
a condom. Most spermicides contain a
chemical called nonoxynol-9, which may increase the risk of getting HIV/AIDS
from an infected partner.
Birth control pills may be convenient for women who are able to remember to take a
pill daily. The pill does not have to be taken at the time of sexual activity,
which may allow for spontaneity. Also, with certain pills you can have fewer or
no periods.
Barrier methods—such as spermicide
with condoms, the cervical cap, the -shield, and the diaphragm—require that
couples have the methods readily available and have them in place just before
having sexual intercourse.
