Fantastic commentary, Gerry! Thanks for sharing your insights. Never knew of the spaniel theory. My pup has the white freckled feet. Can't imagine the white freckled faces you mentioned! Haven't noticed any white feet or patches on the photos of UK Goldens I've seen in recent years. I see quite a few of their photos on facebook etc as an observer of several UK Golden field clubs.
What got me thinking me of importing UK seed was the pedigrees of the UK FTCH studs of today. You can see many shared ancestors to those in Barty's and Stilrovin dog's pedigrees. Some of the Irish and Scottish field line types also look very similar to some of our field lines. At least the females do. FT CH Gorton's Red Ruby Rascal "Heidi" as an example.
So the history of similar successful ancestory along with the potential perceived benefit of outcross genes, seemed attractive to me. However, the UK dogs generally have a large COI number. Many are in the 25% to 35% range. Is it beneficial to breed a closely line bred bitch to an even closer line bred male even though they are of different lines? I don't know. Haven't taken the genetics classes yet.
But I digress. Great post Gerry. Thanks for that!

I knew about the book "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python" for some time and read some parts of it online. This book is an introductiory text for programming beginners starting at the very first steps. The best thing about it is that it's published under the GNU Free Documentation License.
Some days ago I read about other Free books published by Network Theory Ltd[2]. Together with the books from GNU Press[3] we are heading into the right direction. Free Documentation for Free Software! In the future I'll think twice about buying anther book from one of the big publishers if it's not Free.

One of my all-time favorite concert venues. The sound is always good there, and if the weather holds out, the atmosphere is spectacular.
01:05 PM, May 08, 2009
I used to love Blossom until I saw Radiohead there and they left the rear lights on during the entire show. This may not sound like such a bad thing... but it really detracts from a show that has an amazing special effect/light show when mostly all you see is the people between you and the stage. I would still go there... but I would recommend pavilion seats if you want to enjoy any kind of visuals
11:06 AM, Apr 08, 2009
Blossom is a great venue for seeing a concert!! Be it pop, rock, blues, jazz or orchestra, the pavillion has fantastic accoustics. Combine that with the grounds and you have one fantastic concert site! The best around for summer fun!! They always have a nice and courteous staff to make sure each concert is a memorable experience. I highly recommend Blossom!!!
06:51 AM, Jan 13, 2009
This is an incredible place to see music live. It can be rock, pop, classical - the acoustics within the pavillion are fantastic.

Latino Elderly Discuss Access to Health & Community Services at RIC Gerontology Conference
From left, Gertrudis Mirande, Delia Rodriguez-Masjoan, Julieta Sanchez and Marta Morrogh-Bernard. (Francisco Baqué, not shown.)
On April 23 Rhode Island College's Gerontology Program, together with the Department of Modern Languages, held a conference to address the unique needs of the Latino elderly with a focus on the most effective ways to educate this rapidly growing demographic about health and community services.
"Because of language barriers, immigration status and other factors, Latino elders and their families may be uncertain about what assistance is available to them and how to access it," said Professor of Sociology and Coordinator of RIC's Gerontology Program Rachel Filinson.
The conference opened with a panel of four elders aged 65 and older – natives of Argentina, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador and Guatemala. RIC alumna Delia Rodriguez-Masjoan '08, producer of the Rhode Island Spanish radio station Poder 110 and former coordinator for the Rhode Island Department of Elderly Affairs' Center for Diversity, moderated the discussion.
Panelist Marta Morrogh-Bernard, who lives in a high-rise for low-income elderly, most of whom are Hispanic, said, "Only two of the residents in the high-rise speak English – the maintenance man and myself – and I am the official translator. The residents ask me to help them write letters and to fill out paperwork, such as a consent form or a lease or a health insurance form. I go with them to court to interpret. I help them prepare for the citizenship interview. I go with them to the immigration office and to their doctors appointments."
Though Morrogh-Bernard volunteers her services free of charge, she said she is only one person serving many, which can be daunting. She said she would like to see more Spanish interpreters at local and state agencies and to see students volunteer to work with the elderly.
An audience member asked if the elderly are seeking English-as-a-second-language (ESL) training. The response was that ESL is not an option for many elders, because they are designed for people who can read and write in their own tongue. For many Latino elderly there is the issue of illiteracy. Thus, their primary source of information about health and community services is the radio station Poder 110.
Immigrant status is another barrier for the elderly, said moderator Rodriguez-Masjoan. "The undocumented often do not feel they have a right to local and state services," she said.
To help clarify misconceptions, three informational sessions were held, following the panel discussion:
1) How to access information through the 2-1-1 resource center, led by Call Specialist Jennifer Ortega-Perez;
2) Adult day care as a resource for Latino families dealing with Alzheimer's disease, facilitated by Program Director of the Rhode Island Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association Marge Angilly; Director of the Elmwood Adult Day Health Care Center Joanne O'Day; and two social workers from the same Elmwood center Katherine Peralta and Monica Alzate; and
3) The social isolation of Hispanic elders in Rhode Island, facilitated by Elder Outreach Coordinator of ThirdAge.com Luis Jusino.
Representatives of 2-1-1 acknowledged that spreading the message about their own comprehensive information and referral service has not been very successful through print media. They intend to take the company RV to Hispanic community events and festivals to meet directly with the elderly. They would also like to become more partnership oriented, working with shelters, community action programs and neighborhood programs.

Up until the last few years, this was pickle season at my mother's house.
I am quite sure a great many of you younger readers have never tried pickling, and may have no desire, so I am equally sure it will be extinct some day. Shame.
If you find the notion daunting of devoting your kitchen to a royal mess for the day to produce a dozen jars of condiment, I understand, but you can scale the pickling party up or down easily. Start small and you may find you're hooked.
There are also plenty of horror stories circulating about unsafe canning and bottling, but pickles are so acidic they resist going bad, and sterilizing bottles is not that difficult.
First, get organized. Use only bottles sold for this purpose and wash them, along with lids and screw tops, in the dishwasher or by hand in water as hot as you can stand it. Dry completely then place in the oven on a baking sheet for at least 20 minutes at 350 F. Put the lids in a pot of boiling water for the same 20 minutes.
It's impossible to predict how many bottles you will need, but a good rule of thumb is to allow a pint jar for every pound of vegetables. An old pickler's trick is to always sterilize more bottles than you expect you will need.
Place several layers of kitchen towels or other heat-proof covering on your kitchen counter or another surface that won't be disturbed for the next few hours. I have several large wooden cutting boards that I like to use. Have clean oven mitts standing by.
Remove the sterilized jars from the oven only as fast as you can fill them — you want them blistering hot. Using a bottling funnel makes filling them much easier, although a small ladle works in a pinch.
Finally, when the jars are full to the top, wipe the threads with a clean cloth before putting on the lids, screwing them tight but only by hand — don't tighten with a gadget. Place them upside down on the prepared surface and cool to room temperature. The lids should pull into a good seal — if any are sticking up you have a problem — refrigerate those and eat within a few days.
Mustard Pickles
Could anything go better with leftover Jigg's dinner hash or corned beef sandwiches than homemade mustard pickles? These are tangy and sweet with lots of neon yellow sauce.
4 lbs. yellow onions, coarsely chopped
3 large cucumbers, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 medium heads cauliflower, cut into florets
1/4 cup salt
8 cups sugar
1 cup each white vinegar and cider vinegar
1 tsp. turmeric
2 tbsp. pickling spice, wrapped in a small piece of cheesecloth and tied with kitchen twine
1 28-oz. can diced tomatoes (or fresh chopped if you can find flavourful ones)
1 cup prepared mustard
2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup flour
Combine onions, cucumbers, cauliflower florets and salt in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and refrigerate overnight. Wash thoroughly with cold water and drain well. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine sugar, white vinegar, cider vinegar and turmeric. Bring to a boil and add pickling spice. Cover and simmer together 5 minutes. Add onions, cucumber and cauliflower and simmer 20 minutes. Add tomatoes, prepared mustard and Dijon mustard and bring to a vigorous boil. Whisk together cold water and flour — be careful there are no lumps. Whisk flour mixture into boiling pickles. Simmer about 5 minutes, until mixture is thickened and creamy. Bottle as described above.
Green Tomato Chow Chow
These delicious pickles go with just about anything you can serve on your table, but I really like them with spicy Indian food, believe it or not.
10 lbs. green tomatoes
5 lbs. yellow onions
3 large cucumbers
3 each red and green bell peppers
1 large cauliflower, cut into florets
1 cup salt
6 cups white granulated sugar
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
3 cups white vinegar
1 cup white wine vinegar
1 cup flour
4 tbsp. each turmeric and dry mustard
Chop all the vegetables into pickle-sized bites and place in a large bowl. Sprinkle on the salt and refrigerate overnight. I know this is a big addition to your fridge, so if it's cold outside tape or tie the cover tightly to keep out any critters and leave it on the back deck.
Rinse thoroughly in cold water and drain well. Combine white sugar, brown sugar and white vinegar in a large, heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a boil.
Add drained vegetables and simmer, covered, 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Whisk together white wine vinegar, flour, turmeric and dry mustard — make sure there are no lumps. Stir briskly into boiling vegetables. Cook, stirring, until thickened and smooth. Bottle as above.
Brown Sugar Beets
This is a messy endeavour, so I wouldn't even consider trying another recipe because this one — my mother's — is without question the best. I've shared it with you in the past, but it is such a classic it bears repeating.
If you are fortunate enough to grow your own beets, you have a choice to make. You can mix up the larger beets, sliced, with the small rosebuds left whole. My mother would painstakingly separate them so she always ended up with at least two or three jars of pickled rosebuds, which would be saved for gifting or serving at special occasions. The effort put into peeling those little things was substantial, but what an impressive presentation they make.
20 lbs. beets, scrubbed clean
6 cups white vinegar
2 cups water
2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 whole cloves per pint bottle (4 to a quart)
Boil the beets, skins on, until tender — about 1 hour for medium to large. Plunge into cold water and as soon as you can handle them, rub off the skins. Slice beets as you would like to see them served — I prefer slices that will barely fit in the bottles. Bring vinegar, water and brown sugar to a boil and simmer together 10 minutes. Fill sterilized bottles with sliced beets. Fill to the brim with vinegar mixture and top with cloves. Bottle as above.

The Legal Services Trust Fund Program receives interest on attorney-client trust accounts and distributes those funds to approximately 100 nonprofit legal aid organizations that provide free legal services in civil matters to indigent Californians.
The program is guided by the Legal Services Trust Fund Commission.
Lawyers who handle small amounts of money for their clients, or money that is held for a short period of time, must participate in the program by depositing these funds into an Interest on Lawyers' Trust Account (IOLTA). (When lawyers hold funds from one client that are large enough or held for a long enough period to earn interest for that client, the funds are segregated so that the client receives the interest.)
Resources for attorneys about opening and maintaining an attorney-client trust account are available at Guidelines for Attorneys.
Effective January 1, 2008, state law requires California lawyers to place IOLTA accounts only at eligible financial institutions. To be eligible, financial institutions must pay dividends or interest rates to IOLTA customers that are "comparable" to what they pay their similarly situated non-IOLTA customers. For information about the new law, refer to the FAQ section about IOLTA "Comparability"
Through the years, many financial institutions have taken a leadership role by increasing rates and reducing or waiving fees on IOLTA accounts. The generosity of these banks has increased access to justice for hundreds of thousands of adults and children who otherwise would have nowhere to turn for help.

There is only one name on next week's presidential ballot paper, but most Yemenis view the rubber-stamp vote as a necessary first step in ending the Saleh era. Hugh Naylor and Hakim Almasmari, foreign correspondents, report.
SANAA // It is being billed as an historic election for Yemen. Massive campaign billboards have been erected along the capital's boulevards. Authorities have taken out radio, television and newspaper advertisements and sent teams across the country to urge the 10 million registered electors to cast their votes next Tuesday.
The ballot paper will not be hard to decipher. The only name on it is that of Abdurabu Mansour Hadi, the vice president. Under an agreement brokered by the Gulf Cooperation Council, Mr Hadi will replace Ali Abdullah Saleh, whose desire to prolong more than three decades in power tried the patience of Yemenis fed up with one-man rule and festering crises.
Although to call it an election stretches the definition, the process is seen by most as necessary to get rid of Mr Saleh. Three times the president offered to sign the GCC accord ending his rule, and three times he backed away before finally putting pen to paper in November.

it's easy for a city kid to think that where they grew up is a microcosm for the whole country (or world). i do that too. but there are still large pockets of the country that aren't quite as "evolved".Wants to buy next-gen system, yet doesn't have something that most homes have had for half-a-decade. Even still, I'm sure it will have an ethernet port, so unless you're posting from 1998, your internet connection should work fine.

GTAGaming.com - Modifications | @ 06:43 PM MDT | By Zidane
The long awaited Multi Theft Auto for San Andreas is finally here! I've taken a couple of hours to try this out with a friend, and let me just say, it was friggin' bitchin'. Though you can do races, games, and free drive, you can't exit vehicles (yet), but the different types of races, games and different tracks you can play in make up for that. Oh yeah, make sure you check out "Break". Here's some random screenshots we took...
Download everything MTASA, here!
One last thing, JMR and I played this in a really good server. We got to know the admin pretty well, and he's a really cool guy. I've decided to give him a little plug for his server, so check it out if you can. IP is 188.8.131.52, port is 22003.

Tom Perrotta will read from The Abstinence Teacher at the Coolidge Corner Theatre on October 16.
So how come I like Tom Perrotta so much? How come I read his books with the same year-by-year loyalty with which I once listened to albums by R.E.M.? Stylistically, the man is — at first glance — invisible: no flash, no phrasemaking. And his fictional milieu is half-dead. Perrotta's characters live in the agnostic suburbs of the Northeast, their speech is tainted with cliché and the jargon of mass culture, and their doomed little attempts at eroto-spiritual freedom are recorded in simple, un-lyrical, occasionally almost arid prose. "Ruth arrived late and mildly hungover for her daughter's soccer game on Saturday morning," begins a chapter in his new novel The Abstinence Teacher. Anyone who gets carried away receives prompt correction. In 1997's The Wishbones, when a musician named Dave is possessed by longing for his lover, Gretchen, his desire is characterized as "a low-grade fever, a physical truth, the news his blood kept bringing him as it sloshed around his body." That last clause is very Perrotta: a risky moment of dilation, a small iambic surge in the pulse of the line, expertly choked off with the comedy verb "sloshed."
"I'm from a working-class background," Perrotta says cheerfully when we meet in Harvard Square for lunch at Shay's Pub. "The high style . . . I guess I kind of had that stuff beaten out of me." Behind us a busker warbles through a strange, anesthetized version of Neil Young's "Heart of Gold": "I've bin to Hah-ly-wood . . . I've bin to mumble-mumble." "Interesting take," says Perrotta, dryly.
Culture warrior
Perrotta, who lives in Belmont, is a compact, friendly man in his mid 40s, with the kind of palely penetrating eyes one associates with movie assassins from the '80s. I could see him in cold pursuit of Tom Cruise, for example, jolting the great Scientologist into one of those famous piston-legged runs.
He first broke the crust of authorial anonymity when his unpublished novel Election was optioned and then turned into a good, caustic 1999 movie by director Alexander Payne. On the back of this heightened interest, the book finally saw daylight, but the movie, as Perrotta admits, was the thing. "When the book came out, it was barely reviewed. . . . When the movie came out, it was a cultural event. People talked about it. I still hear Hillary Clinton getting compared to Tracy Flick." Flick is the ruthless, sexually charged teenage busybody (played by Reese Witherspoon, in a career-making role) whose campaign for high-school president is the comic engine of the book: her instant cultural currency was Perrotta's first bull's-eye.

2012 Atlantic Hurricane Season Birdseye Discussion #162
By: NCHurricane2009 , 1:13 AM GMT on November 17, 2012
Weather in the western Atlantic Ocean to deteriorate in the next days due to two strong surface lows forecast to develop.
Computer models agree that by 80 hrs...a surface low will form east of Bermuda and along the western Atlantic front mentioned in paragraph P2. Tonight's 18Z GFS model shows the surface low forming in eastern upper divergence of a southern fragment of the paragraph P2 upper trough. At the same time...the northern fragment of the upper trough is expected to create a tight pressure gradient with respect to the paragraph P4 upper ridge...resulting in a strong upper westerly jet just east of the surface low. Upper winds accelerating into the jet are expected to enhance the upper divergence over the surface low such that it develops quickly. Despite a forecast formation just north of the 26 deg C sea-surface temperature isotherm...this first surface low should not develop into a subtropical cyclone due to hostile shear from the upper jet.
While the first surface low then moves out to sea...computer models develop a more impressive second surface low just offshore of the southeastern United States beginning in 111 hours. This second surface low is expected to develop in upper divergence east of an impressive upper trough that has not yet entered the scope of this discussion. Because the upper trough is expected to amplify into an upper vortex over the surface low...this could reduce the shear. Coupled with formation just north of the 26 deg C waters and potentially de-stabilizing cold upper air with the upper vortex...their is some potential for subtropical cyclone development with this second surface low.
This chart is generated based on surface analysis from the National Hurricane Center TAFB at 1800Z, and the 1929Z-released HPC analysis.
In light blue is upper air analysis, with 200 mb wind barbs calculated by GOES satellite imagery showing the upper-level wind direction. Based on the 200 mb wind barbs, blue-dashed lines are locations of upper troughs, blue-zig-zag lines are locations of upper ridges. Blue Ls are locations of upper lows, blue Hs are locations of upper ridges.
In red is surface analysis, with solid lines indicating locations of surface fronts, dashed lines indicating locations of surface troughs, and zig-zag lines indicating surface ridge axes. Ls indicate surface lows, Hs indicate surface highs.
This chart is generated using GOES water vapor satellite imagery. Brown indicates dry air. White, blue, and purple indicates moist air. An increase in moisture indicates slower air parcel lapse rates with elevation and hence an increase toward instability.
Sea-surface temperatures are overlaid with light blue isotherms. The 26 deg C isotherm is highlighted in red. Waters at and south of the 26 deg C isotherm indicate low-level warmth and hence faster environmental lapse rates with elevation (more instability). Waters north of the 26 deg C isotherm indicate slower environmental lapse rates with elevation (less instability).
P1...Shortwave upper trough is entering the top-left corner of the above charts from western Canada...but is not quiet yet in the scope of the charts. Eastern divergence of the shortwave upper trough supports a 1015 mb depression over SE Montana and 1019 mb depression over Manitoba. Low-level warm air advection ahead of the depressions supports an upper ridge axis entering the central US.
P2...Large surface low east of Greenland...currently just outside of the top-center of the above charts...persists thanks to divergence east of the major North America upper trough. This large surface low is pushing a surface front into the NE Atlantic and western Europe seen in the top-right of the above charts. Lengthy W Atlantic surface cold front formerly extending from the large surface low persists. The Gulf of Mexico fragment of the front has decayed into surface troughs. Surface frontal cyclone over Hudson Bay in the previous discussion....also supported by the eastern divergence of the major upper trough...is moving into eastern Canada. Western convergence of the major upper trough continues to support strong surface ridging across the US. Eastern divergence of the major upper trough continues to support a W Atlantic surface low that has intensified to 1001 mb currently centered just SE of Newfoundland. This surface low continues to be located along the aforementioned W Atlantic surface front. The 1018 mb low just offshore of the Carolinas in the previous discussion...yet another feature along the surface front and supported by the eastern divergence of the major upper trough...has intensified to 1016 mb at a location just NW of Bermuda.
P3...NE Atlantic cut-off upper vortex midway between the Azores and Canary Islands has weakened into an upper trough heading toward western Europe. Surface frontal depression associated with the upper trough has intensified to 999 mb while tapping into the eastern divergence of the upper trough. This 999 mb depression will soon make landfall across Portugal and Spain.
P4...Upper ridge axis over the central tropical Atlantic continues to be expanded northward into the Atlantic high seas via warm air advection ahead of the W Atlantic surface front mentioned in paragraph P2. Upper divergence west of this upper ridge has supported an increase in t-storm activity across the central Caribbean and eastern Bahamas in the last 24 hrs. Upper convergence east of this upper ridge axis supports the north Atlantic surface ridge (currently 1027 mb).
P5...Cut-off upper trough NW of the Cape Verde Islands persists. Expansive upper divergence east of this cut-off upper trough supports a wide area of t-storm clouds that continues overspreading the Cape Verde Islands and eastern tropical Atlantic. This upper divergence has also triggered new surface troughing midway between the Cape Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles...while the previous surface troughing in this area has dissipated in the western convergence on the back side of the cut-off upper trough.

Washi Origami Paper
Washi is thicker than most papers, and capable of making shapes and creations that more flexible papers can't quite do. It can be made from various types of tree barks, hemp, or even rice. But the result is a tough, crisp, lasting material that has existed for centuries. It has been used in many ways through Japan's history, from ceremonial goods for Shinto priests, to books, to clothing, to statues of Buddha. Use this Washi paper to create Origami with a unique feel and a strong, lasting look.

To belong to the pantheon of noted Charleston chefs is, among other things, to be identified with talent both in and out of the kitchen. While the superlative skills attributed to our coterie of local chefs secure Charleston's plum position among the crème de la crème of North American dining destinations, it's their goodwill and collective civic-minded attitude that strengthens the community at large. From farm-to-table initiatives, sustainable seafood alliances, and unflappable support of charity benefits, the chefs are the underpinning of our robust social scene (After all, eating out in Charleston is one of our finest forms of entertainment).
With his penchant for lush cuisine and passion for feeding children in need, Chef Robert Carter (Peninsula Grill) carried the toque-wielding torch for the eleventh consecutive Chefs' Feast, a collaborative event that dishes up a dazzling array of small plates while raising funds for the Lowcountry Food Bank. Proceed from the event help underwrite Kids Cafe, an innovative after-school program that provides hot, nutritious meals and academic assistance, and BackPack Buddies, a program designed to address the issue of weekend hunger. The two programs jointly feed close to 3,000 young people weekly.
The sound of more than two dozen sizzling saute pans greeted the nearly 1,000 guests who attended Sunday night's sold out Feast at the North Charleston Performing Arts Complex. A serpentine flow of guests moved through the convivial gala, eager to sample the flavor spectrum. Buttery, salty, savory, tangy—each chef's station offered a unique nosh, which inspired colorful commentary among the fork-clutching guests waiting to sidle up to a particular dish. Some fawned over the hearty portions carved up by Chef Peyton Smith (The Palm Tree Grill), others swooned over the sweets prepared by Chef Christopher Stallard (The Art Institute of Charleston). The tuna turned out by Chef Frank McMahon (Hank's), who happily obliged second servings, was sensational.
If you're headed out on the town tonight, please consider having dinner at one of the outstanding restaurants that participated in Chefs' Feast. Be sure to thank the chef for helping assuage child hunger. The kindhearted chefs include Robert Carter (Peninsula Grill), Peyton Smith (The Palm Tree Grill at Embassy Suites Charleston Area Convention Center), Christopher Stallard (The Art Institute of Charleston), Emily Cookson (Charleston Grill), Marc Collins (Circa 1886), John Zucker (Cru Cafe and Catering), Jeff Alexander and Scott Stefanelli (The Culinary Institute of Charleston), Craig Deihl (Cypress), Fred Neuville (Fat Hen), Nico Romo (Fish), Frank McMahon (Hank's Seafood), Robert Stehling (Hominy Grill), Patrick Owens (Langdon's Restaurant and Wine Bar), Ken Vedrinski (Lucca), Eddie Moran (Mercato), Sean Brock (McCrady's), Brett McKee (Oak Steakhouse), Phillip Bardin (Old Post Office), Jim Walker (Old Village Post House), Ben Berryhill (Red Drum), Jim Spratling (Saltus River Grill), Nathan Thurston (Sanctuary at Kiawah Island), Frank Lee (Slightly North of Broad), and Nate Whiting (Tristan).

Repositioning myself within the Fedora Project
After talking with a few people recently and doing some self-analysis, I feel like it's time to make a major shift in what I do within the Fedora Project. My Fedora résumé so far has consisted mostly of wiki czaring,1 package maintenance and other odds-and-ends jobs others kindly ask me to do.
I'm presently concerned with the second in that list — a combination of increased stress and decreased time available due to school and the speed of discussion on package maintenance and release engineering is a losing game. In the next few weeks, I'll be checking all of my packages and determining which ones have dead or slow upstreams or bugs that I can't resolve on my own. Those packages will likely be orphaned, and if nobody wants to care for them, so be it.
The two others? Wiki czaring is fine, but I need to improve on it a bit (see the footnote), and I always enjoy the random problems that I can help quickly solve for people. This being said, development on mw, supybot-fedora and other convenient software is (hopefully) Not Going Away™ any time soon.
With the pushing away of my first Fedora love, package maintenance, I've found something new to focus on. Through my internship with Red Hat last year, I discovered that there is a large deficit of good statistics about our community. There's a large deficit of good statistics about most free software communities, according to some random Google keywords I just tried, apart from "this is how many times our product has been downloaded." I really loved the opportunity to combine my self-proclaimed mad Python skillz with answering other people's questions, such as:
- How many contributors does Fedora really have? And according to these standards/filters?
- How often is the wiki edited and when?
- How many "things" has this random dude over here done? Do we consider that "active"?
- How many vague statistically-related questions can we come up with on email@example.com or during a marketing meeting?
Some of these, obviously, have no answer. Yet.
When I finally graduate from high school, I'll be pushing full swing into answering these sorts of things. Until then, you can help me make Fedora a better place by simply telling us what you want to see tallied up. I asked this about 9 months ago and I got a lot of responses — thank you. But with recent discussions about the future of Fedora and a lot of claims about our user and contributor bases not being backed up (not pointing fingers), I think there are even more questions that can be answered. Please add your statistically-inclined questions to [[Statistics 2.0]] and I'll do my best in the near future to get them answered with statistics on our community.
I also love help. (Shout out to joshkayse who is taking the lead on making it simple to find a single contributor's actions within Fedora, taking inspiration from Mel's FAS scraper.)
Quick summary: Maintaining packages is a drag (for me) right now. I like taking questions and answering with numbers. I graduate soon. Ask questions.
1 While writing this I decided to Google for "fedora wiki czar". What I found was a mysterious character who was appointed as such in a community touting full transparency. Mel brought this to my attention the other day — I really suck at providing transparency into the process of administering the wiki. It's pretty much on a whim. It shouldn't be this way.

And of course there is that QB who wore # 11. I kind of liked him as well.
If no owners were willing to pay a salary that a free agent was looking for, would the player quit football? No. He would sign for the best salary that he was being offered, whatever that would be. It is competition and desire to win that makes the owners spend what they spend to get "their" guy.
If the owners wanted to reduce salaries bad enough they could all agree to a pact saying that they are not going to pay more than a certain amount for a certain player, They could even set the prices up by position. But, that will never happen because the owners are almost as competitive as the players and all want to put the best team on the field.
The players get their % of the total revenues. That's the negotiated deal. That's the CBA.
The owners don't set the cap number. The cap number is dictated by total NFL revenues.
Just because there's a limited pool of money from which to pay players doesn't mean that if Player A gets x dollars, Player B can only get y. Here's my response to that... If you want to make more money, be a better player.

|Classic Atlantic Salmon No pursuit rivals salmon rivers, flies & legacy
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Great lakes steelheading is different than west coast, particularly when it comes to winter fishing. Most G/L anglers use nymphing techniques and split shots with small flies drifted deep. The fish are not quite as maniacal in the winter 30 degree flows, and so most use light tippet and light noodly rods.
The notion of throwing a long belly line across a major glacial river does not apply to influence line weight, infact in Lake Ontario many use a straight running line system because the slinkies cast the fly, not the line loop. I had a guy come into the flyshop where I used to work an ask for a 4 pound tippet fly rod. I asked "do you mean a 4wt?" he said, no a fly rod suited for use with 4 pound test leader. The line was a fine diameter shooting line, the leader was straight mono, and the method of casting was similar to a spinning rod. The fly line was there to meet the local laws that applied to the 'fly only' stretch of the river where the fish were stacked. I found that whole arrangement to be ambiguous, if they are not going to restrict the use of slinkies and weights for casting, sinking and drifting the "fly" along the bottom then why bother at all?
You could probably get away with the 5wt, but if you get a hot steelie in a rapid you might be in a bit of trouble. Most out west have hooked spring natives or hot summer fish that make a 15 foot 10 weight feel like a toy. I wouldn't want to try to land a Thompson River summer run on any 5wt on the market! But hey that's what adventures are made of...
Salmon & steelhead rods
What would you say is the "minimum" fly rod line weight for salmon & steelies?
The largest fly rod I own is an Orvis Spring Creek WF5F, 9'3".
I have caught 36" northern pike with it and landed them with no trouble.
I am going to the Grand river in Ohio this fall, but I will be tempting marital fate if I buy "another" fly rod.
But, a man's got to do, what a man's got to do.

How many words do the Inuit have for snow? Well, we probably have at least that many for what to call not-quite-love: infatuation, a crush, puppy love, lust? Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing, which is getting an absorbing staging by the Gamm (through April 14), boldly directed by Fred Sullivan, Jr., doesn't clear up all the confusion, but it certainly illustrates the extent of the muddle.
The number of couples involved here depends on whether you count the infidelities. There is even a shaky marital situation toward the beginning that we learn was really only the rehearsal of a scene in a play, all demonstrating to us the fragile nature of perceptions. Though everyone's British accent remains firmly in place, the romantic gavottes that characters traipse through are displays of generic human nature rather than a particular culture.
The central pair under examination is Henry (Tony Estrella) and Annie (Jeanine Kane). He is a talented playwright who, to make money for alimony payments, tosses off teleplays. She is an actress. Henry pretends to like classical music, though he can't tell a Bach sonata from a dripping faucet. The music he does love, though it's too lowbrow for him to admit it, is pop, from Procol Harum to Neil Sedaka. Annie's relationships, pre- and post-Henry, are too convoluted to keep track of without a spreadsheet, and her attitude toward love couldn't contrast more with Henry's bulldog loyalty.
At the outset and after intermission, when two years have passed, Annie is involved with helping a British soldier, Brodie (Steve Kidd), who has gotten six years in the brig for an antiwar action. The young man has written a lengthy play stuffed with every obvious observation of social injustice he can think of, and Annie wants Henry to whip it into respectable shape. Stoppard gets to fulminate through Henry about how good intentions do not make up for bad writing.
Near the end of the play, we meet Brodie for the first time and find out that just about everything we have learned about him and his relationship with Annie is inaccurate and seems quite different when turned a little toward the light. As a character briefly stepping onto the stage, Brodie is a bit flat-footed, more significant in our imaginations than as a physical presence, but Stoppard carts him out as a kind of human prop so Annie, in an impetuous action, can finally demonstrate her love for Henry.
The other London couple is Max (Tom Gleadow) and Charlotte (Marianna Bassham). Though he comes into only two scenes, Max goes through many changes, as a kind of avatar of mutability. He gets to impress us with fast-paced, brilliantly clever banter, but soon we learn that this was merely as a character in one of Henry's plays; in real life he comes across as dull and a little stupid. Charlotte was married to Henry before Annie, and their breakup was inevitable, considering their contrasting styles of relationship: he believes that commitment is all and should weather all storms and offenses; she is adamant that a marriage needs constant maintenance, tinkering, and attention.

Where's the bug tracker for Slashdot? I'd like to be able to file bugs and feature requests.
Feature requests:
While some of the bugs have been fixed already, it'd have been a lot less grating if there was a good, visible way to report them and follow them as they got fixed.
Today, I realized I hadn't told you guys I'm engaged.
I went to tell you, and found Slashdot journals down. I figured they didn't care, but turns out it was brought back up.
Anyway, yeah, I'm engaged to a lovely, smart and funny gal who was already into Linux and tabletop roleplaying when I ran into her. May 20th, 2012.
Not bad for a guy who spent his formative years on Slashdot.
Hey, for anyone who still reads this. Rosetta Code's doing awesome, content-wise, and we're starting to implement Semantic MediaWiki. (To what end? Not sure. I've got a couple ideas, but I'm more an opportunist than a front-end planner.) I've also been shooting a bunch of photos and putting them up online--even photos that aren't cosplay, if you can imagine that. (Which you probably can; I doubt many who read this were following me on Flickr back when I went to Anime Weekend Atlanta for the first time in 2007. If you want to read what I'm really thinking, either follow me on Multiply, or see the same stuff over on LiveJournal--but get your adblock armor up; it's a scary place. I'm also on Twitter, if you really care. I'm a minimal participant, really.
If I show up as a fan for you here, I do read your journals; the My Amigos RSS feed is still useful.
Why this collection of links to me at other places? Easy; I know there are still some of you here who never showed up in those other places, and I miss the interactions. I'd post my blogs here, too, but Slashdot has relegated itself to an incredible degree of backwater status. I was lucky to find the "Write in Journal" link. I'm tempted to find some Perl script to have it suck in blog posts via RSS, and post them to Slashdot. (That's how I'm inducting my blog posts into Facebook, too.)
I miss what this place used to be. I miss the people this place used to have. I still see some of them on two or three other social networks, and some of the bonds there are tighter than they ever were here, but there's still a bunch of you missing.
In the final follow-up emails involved with fixing my Internet service, I asked for, and was provided with, specific references to usage caps and usage monitoring.
I have to say, with the addition of email and twitter support channels, their customer service has improved by leaps and bounds in the past three years I've been a customer.
So on Rosetta Code, we use GeSHi for syntax highlighting. The relationship between Rosetta Code, GeSHi, a programming language and the code written in that language is fairly simple. (The exact order of events inside GeSHi might be slightly different; I haven't delved deeply into its core)
Rosetta Code (by way of a MediaWiki parser extension) gives GeSHi a few pointers about how it wants the code formatted, the language the code sample will be in, and, finally, the code sample itself.
GeSHi takes the code example, and loads the language file named after the language in question. Each language file defines a PHP associative array that contains(among a couple other things) simple rules for how GeSHi can apply formatting to the code in a way that will clarify it to the viewer. These rules include lists of known keywords of various classifications, symbols used for normal commenting conventions and optional regex matching rules for each, among other things.
It's a perfectly reasonable, fairly static approach that allows syntax highlighting to cover a broad variety of languages without knowing how to parse that language's actual syntax, and so avoiding having a syntax error break the whole process.
Unfortunately, it requires Rosetta Code to be able to tell GeSHi what language a code sample is written in. It also leads to odd scenarios where a supported language and an unsupported language are so closely related that examples written for the unsupported language can be comfortably highlighted using the the rules for the supported language.
And I have yet to learn of a good way to do syntax highlighting for Forth. (The Forth developers appear to pretty much keep to their own community, and don't seem to do much in the way of outreach, which makes finding a solution relatively difficult, but I digress...)
So what does this have to do with artificial intelligence? Well, in identifying a language without being told what it is, of course!
A few solutions have been discussed. One approach that has been attempted had something to do with Markov Chains. The code is in the GeSHi repos, and I haven't looked at it.
One solution I suggested was to run the code example through all the supported languages (Yes, I know, that's expensive. Not something to be done in real time.), and select the ruleset based on how many rules(X) were matched for a language and how much of the code sample was identified(Y). Using a simple heuristic of (a*X)/(b*Y), you can account for a number of matched rules while hopefully accounting for an overly-greedy regex rule.
How can we take this a step farther? How about formatting languages we don't know about?
Well, many, many languages have rules in common. Common keywords, common code block identifiers, common symbols for comments, common symbols for quotation, etc. This tends to result from their being derived or inspired in some way by another language. For the sake of avoiding pedantry, I'll just say that C, C++, Perl, Python, PHP, Pascal and Java all have a few common ancestors.
One way would be to note the best N language matches, take an intersection of their common rules, and apply that intersection as its own ruleset. This would certainly work for many of the variants of BASIC out there, as well as specialized variants of common languages like C and low-level ISAs.
I haven't regularly posted to my journal here on Slashdot in a couple years. Meanwhile, I've posted over 1000 blog posts elsewhere, and recently started using simulpost tools to post to several different SN sites I'm on. However, there are still folks here who aren't in those places, and, of course, there's the wonderful world of the Firehose and the exhilarating risk that some of my idle musings might hit the front page. (If I'm averaging almost three posts per day, there's bound to be something interesting in there...)
What I'd like is the ability to post to my Slashdot account using my own script. I remember the Early days of Slashdot where some folks were using third-party clients to participate in the commenting system. It'd be nice if it were possible for us to do that again today, but with journals. It'd be nice for me to be able to reconnect with old friends, and it'd definitely be nice to bring some of that hacker and DIY flavor back to Slashdot. With the exception of folks like Alioth, that piece of Slashdot seems to be all but gone.
So I threw together a few more feeds. Here's the list of all the ones I've got right now:
Bad English: Usages of the English language that annoy me. Currently aggregates searches for "begs the question" and "could care less". Feel free to suggest more; If I like them, I'll add them.
Facepalms and Headdesks: Aggregates searches for the unconventional emotiwords (I don't know a better term; I don't think onomatopoeia) terms "facepalm" and "headdesk". If you have any more along these lines, let me know...
Meme Happy: Currently aggregates "in im ur", "it's over 9000" and "do a barrel roll". I also added a search for '"ours is not to wonder why, ours is but to do or" -die'
Zero Wing: When I tried to come up with memes for "meme happy", I kept thinking of references to Zero Wing. So that got its own feed.
...Comes from the D&D game I'm *not* runing. My character (A wizard/cleric crossclass) had set alarm spells in case he was attacked in the middle of the night. (His party members didn't really care for him at this point.) When his alarm spells triggered, he discovered that nobody had entered his room. Rather, someone was trying to intrude into the building entrance. (He accidentally set the field of view of his "Eyes of Alarm" spell a bit to broad, I guess.)
Not wanting to spend the five minutes to don his leather armor, I simply said "OK, I put on my robe and wizard hat, and head out into the hall."
At this point, one of the other players started laughing uncontrollably. He and I were apparently the only two who were familiar with the Legend of Bloodninja.
So in the D&D 4e game I ran last Saturday, the PCs had knocked an NPC (who'd earlier been flippantly addressed by another NPC as "Joe", because he was a spontaneous tavern patron bit character who I didn't intend or expect to be important.) unconscious (0 hp) and laid him on a table. Then they tried blasting open a door, triggering a level 7 Necrotic damage trap. (This is the D&D 4e equivalent to 3e's negative energy.)
The unconscious NPC was within range of the blast, was killed by the necrotic blast...and was pumped sufficiently full of necrotic energy to be brought back as a zombie. Checked the rules on zombies, and discovered they follow the orders of whoever "created" them. Which I ruled to be the PC that blasted the door.
So now that PC has a pet Zombie named Joe, which we're handling as though it were a Ranger's animal companion. He told me the first thing he's going to do is find a way to get the zombie to stop rotting...

With a little help
from my friends
Successful projects are the product of collaborative efforts
by Michael Fallarino
I hope the opinions, reviews of materials and their use, and general reportage that I offer in this column from month to month is a worthwhile read. It's really a bit of an honor to have the opportunity to compose and produce a monthly column about our building construction industry.
Because of the energy consumed by buildings and the energy consumed by the construction process itself, all of us in the building industry should acknowledge that we have a heightened responsibility at this point in time. Among the many things that I try to accomplish for my clients as a building contractor is to generate lasting value from my work. To me this means maximally safeguarding a client's structure by thinking through the short and long term effects of my fabrication techniques.
That's not a process that happens in a vacuum or as an act of imagination, or a pot shot that's a stab at a trial and error design. I read a wide range of building trade publications and I'm very interested in what other building professionals, manufacturers, and journalists have to say. In fact, I'm consistently awed by how much really good building trade journalism is being produced.
My personality is naturally scholarly and I am intent on producing the best possible outcome with my fabrications. That keeps me looking at the latest and greatest that manufacturers have to offer. Working with and learning from so many of you over the years consistently helps me to produce a better end product and advise others accordingly.
But all the effort to learn about new products, how to implement them, and then write about them takes time. And much of the time that goes into the aforementioned process ends up being uncompensated.
The gratification that I receive from voluntarily accepting that process, and the gratitude that I receive from my customers who understand the dedication and commitment that I try and bring to my work and their building, has to be enough of a reward.
In the process of producing monthly articles and columns as a journalist over the decades, I've worked with several hundred people in marketing, publicity, press, and promotions. Through that time, some of those I've worked with have stood out as exceptional. The best of those have made enough of an impact on me to influence how I interact with my own customers and prospective customers.
The most successful and professional marketers whom I have worked with tend to share a handful of characteristics that makes interacting with them consistently pleasant. They are good at projecting human warmth and positivity, and function with an openness that allows conversations to proceed with great ease. A willingness to share, and an awareness of the fleeting nature of time has enabled them to cheerfully master the art of brevity.
These non-pedantic individuals tend to be empowered people who make command decisions. They have good memories and understand how to pace another individual in a conversation and use voice intonation to convey meaning. Discussions with such excellent marketers are characterized by simplicity.
All of us in business can learn a thing or two by understanding marketing better. We work in a complex industry that requires teamwork. I think that even most of the lumber yard personnel who I interact with regularly grasp that they are ambassadors for their business.
This past winter, with the economy in the doldrums, one of my customers (a retired senior) decided to try and do her part to help out by hiring me to do a basement rehab project. Amazing! I reciprocated by providing her with my own promo: three days of free labor to attend to all those pesky handyman tasks that accumulate around a one-hundred year old craftsman home.
As a builder and a journalist, how can I help to create value in your world as a reader of this magazine? Is there some aspect of our industry you'd like to see me comment on? A group of products or some type of technology you'd like me to investigate and report on? What would you like to learn about? Drop me an email at email@example.com and lemme know what's on your mind.

Latest Headlines is home to all the latest, up to the minute news headlines from The Wall Street Journal in a streaming continuous headline experience.
By Carol E. Lee
The White House is touting Janet Yellen, President Barack Obama's pick to chair the Federal Reserve, as an "exceptionally well-qualified" candidate who has bipartisan support and understands "how monetary policy can make a difference for jobs, growth and the lives of ordinary people," according to a memo sent to Democrats Wednesday morning.
"In her time in the Federal Reserve System she has been known for her sound judgment and ability to build consensus," the memo says. "Colleagues across the spectrum have praised her and expressed admiration for her abilities and qualifications even when they don't agree with her — including conservative economists like Greg Mankiw, Glenn Hubbard and Martin Feldstein."
Mr. Obama is scheduled to announce Ms. Yellen, the Fed's vice chair, as his nominee to replace Chairman Ben Bernanke during a 3 p.m. event at the White House. The announcement culminates a very public tussle over the president's top choices for the job, in particular resistance from members of both parties to the potential selection of former White House economist Lawrence Summers.
The White House memo previews the case Mr. Obama is likely to make for her nomination. Leaning heavily on Mr. Obama's economic message of championing the middle class, the memo refers to Ms. Yellen as a "consensus builder" who understands the Fed is "above politics or parochial interests." It says her "hard-headed non-ideological view towards monetary policy" will guide her role as carrying out the Fed's "dual mandate to promote price stability and maximize employment."
"She cares deeply about jobs and real people but approaches those issues through a hard-headed approach that is based on economic models, data, and her extraordinary experience in monetary policy," the White House memo says.
It does not directly note that Ms. Yellen will be the first woman to chair the Fed, a milestone some of Mr. Obama's supporters had pressed as he weighed his decision. Instead, it leaves that mention to a quote from Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Johnson: "I commend President Obama on his selection of Dr. Yellen to be the first woman to serve as Federal Reserve Chairman."

CHICAGO (AP) — Jeff Samardzija thought he would dominate the way he often does. Instead, he walked away frustrated with another loss.
Samardzija struggled in a rare rough outing and the Chicago Cubs lost 7-2 to Washington, completing a day-night doubleheader sweep on a rainy Saturday night.
Nationals left-hander Gio Gonzalez pitched two-hit ball over seven innings in the opener for a 3-0 victory. In the night game, Washington tagged Samardzija (2-7) for six runs — five earned — and seven hits over five innings to salvage a four-game series split.
"I felt really good out there today, which usually means you're going to pitch deep into a game," said Samardzija,...
