- 'THE BOHEMIAN ALBUM' Dvorak, Haas & Schulhoff
The Bohemian Album Amsterdam Sinfonietta has combined a romantic masterpiece of the string orchestra repertoire with two wild compositions from the inter-war period. Dvrak, Haas, and Schulhoff hardly make a conventional mixture, but all three of these composers had their roots in a region which was known for many centuries as Bohemia. One can hear this common ground in the rhythmic diversity, the influence of folk music, and the melodic inventiveness that characterizes their music. Haas and Schulhoff were part of a very promising group of composers whose music was proclaimed entartet [degraded] at the end of the 1930s. Fortunately, their music has been rediscovered and performed in recent decades. The music of Haas and Schulhoff is refreshingly rebellious and original, and forms a contrast with Dvorak's romantic Serenade. Marijn van Prooijen wrote out a beautiful double-bass part for the works of Haas and Schulhoff, which were originally conceived for string quartet......

Brookie comeback in Smokies
From today's Mountain Press.....
<<Brook trout back in Park
July 01, 2002
Starting at noon on Monday, anglers will be able to catch and keep brook trout in Great Smoky Mountains National Park for the first time since 1975.
Park managers have decided to open eight brook trout streams to angling for a five-year experimental period to see whether allowing fishing has any impact on the brook trout population.
"When the Park closed to brook trout fishing in the '70s, the prevailing wisdom was that brookies were in danger of becoming extinct in the Park and that fishing pressure was hastening that process," said Park Superintendent Mike Tollefson. "But research since that time has indicated that they are not likely to disappear and that fished and unfished stream have nearly identical fish populations. so if there's no protective value in banning fishing, we might as well allow anglers the enjoyment of fishing for wild brookies."
To measure the impacts of opening streams to angling, the Park will analyze already existing population information about the streams, and conduct fish sampling after the streams are opened, then compare the two. They will also conduct simultaneous sampling of the eight streams to be opened along with eight other, very similar, but closed streams in the same areas and compare the trout populations in the two under the same conditions of stream flow, weather and other natural variables.
The streams to be opened in North Carolina are Beech Flats Creek above Kanati Branch confluence, all of Bunches Creek within the Park, Hazel Creek upstream of Proctor Creek and Lost Bottom Creek upstream of Palmer Creek.
The creeks in Tennessee are all of Cosby Creek above the Rock Creek confluence, all of Indian Camp Creek inside the Park, Walker Prong upstream of Alum Cave and Fish Camp Prong upstream of Goshen Prong.
Tollefson emphasizes that only those eight previously closed streams will be opened Monday, and that brook trout may still not be taken from any other Park streams. All existing Park regulations will apply to the new streams including the seven-inch minimum length, five fish daily limit, single hooks and artificial bait only rules.>>

Microsoft Defends Windows RT, Says It Will Get Better with Time

Microsoft's Michael Angiulo
(Source: Business Insider)
Windows RT may already be turning to vinegar
Microsoft continues to defend its sagging Windows RT operating system. So far one of the only products that run the operating system is Microsoft's own Surface RT tablet, which has seen very low sales. Earlier this month, sales of the Microsoft Surface family of tablets
missed targets
and analysts reduced their sales forecasts.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer continues to insist that Surface is a "
real business
", but sales figures suggest otherwise. Major Microsoft partner Samsung has
that it won't be releasing a Windows RT tablet in the United States because of poor demand. Samsung has left the door open to introduce a RT device later if the market demands it. So far, that demand seems unlikely.
recently had an interview with Microsoft corporate vice president for Windows planning Michael Angiulo. During the talk the Microsoft executive spent some time focusing on what makes Windows RT important for Microsoft.
Angiulo stated, "It was a ton of work for us and we didn't do the work and endure the disruption for any reason other than the fact that there's a strategy there that just gets stronger over time. Looking at things now like power performance and standby time and passive [fanless] form factors. When we launched windows 8, it was really competitive with a full-sized iPad. A lot of that was made possible by the ARM [chip] architecture."
In addition, Angiulo talked a bit about complaints of legacy software not working on Windows RT. He said, "People are talking about legacy desktop software not running, but they don't think about the customer benefit of only running modern apps. The only apps that you install from the Windows store are the kind, that as a customer, you can manage your rights to."
Angiulo also believes that ARM-powered tablets will have a higher percentage shipping that feature mobile broadband because the devices have longer battery life the comparable Intel platform devices. Battery life is a big selling factor for ARM-powered devices, and increased power consumption continues to be a downside to Intel hardware in the tablet and mobile market.

Is Chris Paul Worth the Risk for the Clippers?
Posted on 8 Dec 2011 by Taylor Smith.
In the past few days, rumors have been swirling around the interwebs with regards to the availability of megastar point guard Chris Paul. The little Los Angeles Clippers (along with the Warriors, Lakers and Celtics) have reportedly been at the forefront of the pursuit. Paul is clearly an elite player, but there's plenty of risk involved if you're going to part with some valuable pieces just to ...

Looking for a good outfitter for a duck/goose hunting trip next fall in North Dakota. Does anyone have any experience with any of the outfitters or have any recommendations. Plan on taking my boys before they start college.
Robert Schlagel, Midwest Migrations 701-740-2996
Very Good guide, very nice "lodge" and some EXCELLENT dogs !
Discipline is no excuse for a lack of enthusiasm !!
If you have the equipment and a means to haul your belongings may I suggest a free lance trip. PM me if interested. Many residents don't care for the guides as they seem to lease up thousands and thousands of acres. I know of two guides that lease up 20,000 and 30,000 acres respectively.
In ND if its not posted you can hunt it.
Good luck either way.
Unfortunately I don't have enough posts to pm. Send me one and we will talk. I do have decoys,layout blinds, robos, and a good dog. I did a little hunting when I went to school in ND, but not enough to learn the ins and outs of hunting up there. I am interested though
Thanks ill check him out on the web. Please keep suggestions coming. I'm planning for next yr.
Don't support guides or outfitters. Especially in a such a freelance state as North Dakota. People are friendly and the trespassing laws make freelancing very easy. Just review some maps and find the water areas and do some scouting and you'll find birds. Guides and outfitters are ruining the hunting tradition by locking up land and making hunting only possibly by people with deep pockets.
Cody's Gunslingin' Cosmonaut MH QAA (Shooter)
I live in Ky not ND. I did go to school at UND and did a little hunting while I was in school, but not enough to feel comfortable taking a week off work, driving 19 hrs, and trying it on my own. I would enjoy getting to know some of the residents and landowners and learning the area to do some freelance hunting. If I knew someone locally that could help facilitate that it would be great. Maybe do some hunting together. We are considering a move to ND in a few yrs. I really enjoyed being there when I was in school.

So much for dipping its toe in the bond market. Research firm CreditSights is predicting Apple (AAPL), which just announced plans for its first-ever bond offering, could end up issuing something in the area of $55 billion in bonds over the next few years to fund its plans to return $100 billion to shareholders.
Danielle Robinson reports for Reuters that Apple could be issuing "as many bonds as a major global bank":
Apple has $145 billion of cash, but "only" $45 billion of that is on hand in the U.S., according to some estimates. That is not enough to pay for plans to buy back $60 billion of shares over the next three years. That means the company will have to issue about $15 billion to $20 billion a year for the next three years, according to credit research firm CreditSights….
At that level, Apple's issuance would dwarf the levels that other technology companies such as Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOG) have in bonds outstanding, and could make it nearly as big an annual issuer – at least for the next three years – as Citigroup (C), which issues $20 billion to $25 billion annually.
Yet even with that volume – and the fact that it failed to garner a triple-A rating from either Standard & Poor's or Moody's – Apple is expected to set new records for low-cost funding when it makes its debut.
Max Murphy reportsfor the Wall Street Journal's CFO Journal that if Apple does issue $55 billion in debt over the coming three years, it will likely to be one of the biggest U.S. non-financial corporate debt issuers over that time. Murphy cites data from Dealogic that only General Electric Co. (GE), at $68.7 billion, has issued more U.S.-denominated, U.S.-marketed debt than that over the past three years, and that's chiefly to support its GE Capital financial arm. At just under $22 billion AT&T Inc. (T) was second.

In the heart of the western Negev, an off-road drive and hiking adventure awaits visitors at the mysteriously beautiful Mount Karkom. Not only is this a wildly unspoiled landscape––an 847-meter-high limestone plateau scored by dramatic ravines––but its thousands of rock drawings and 187 Bronze Age (2350-2000 BCE) campsites also make it an unparalleled human landscape. The fact that some consider it biblical Mount Sinai, a theory pioneered by the archaeologist Prof. Emmanuel Anati, adds to the thrill.
Hikers come across the first mysterious ruin only 200 meters down the eight-kilometer-long loop-trail, on the banks of the Karkom dry riverbed––two rows of standing stones and a rounded wall, which Anati believes was a nomadic shrine of the type the Children of Israel would have built. He even counted 12 standing stones, imagining one for each tribe. This is one of many such enclosures to be seen along the sometimes fairly challenging trail, often coupled with Mount Karkom's famous rock drawings, depicting worshipping figures, animals and enigmatic symbols.
Hikers must coordinate tour to the site in advance and use a Society for the Protection of Nature (SPNI) trail map (available in Hebrew only) to explore Mount Karkom .
For further directions and assistance, contact the SPNI at firstname.lastname@example.com, or, in Israel, call 03-6388729.

Galois Theory for Beginners: A Historical Perspective - Jorg Bewersdorff
Higher Arithmetic: An Algorithmic Introduction to Number Theory - Harold M Edwards
2014 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title
This book is about the theory and practice of integer factorization presented in a historic perspective. It describes about twenty algorithms for factoring and a dozen other number theory algorithms that support the factoring algorithms. Most algorithms are described both in words and in pseudocode to satisfy both number theorists and computer scientists. Each of the ten chapters begins with a concise summary of its contents.
The book starts with a general explanation of why factoring integers is important. The next two chapters present number theory results that are relevant to factoring. Further on there is a chapter discussing, in particular, mechanical and electronic devices for factoring, as well as factoring using quantum physics and DNA molecules. Another chapter applies factoring to breaking certain cryptographic algorithms. Yet another chapter is devoted to practical vs. theoretical aspects of factoring. The book contains more than 100 examples illustrating various algorithms and theorems. It also contains more than 100 interesting exercises to test the reader's understanding. Hints or answers are given for about a third of the exercises. The book concludes with a dozen suggestions of possible new methods for factoring integers.
This book is written for readers who want to learn more about the best methods of factoring integers, many reasons for factoring, and some history of this fascinating subject. It can be read by anyone who has taken a first course in number theory.
Request an examination or desk copy.
Undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers in mathematics and computer science interested in number theory, in particular, methods for factoring integers.
"It is, I think, a fairly safe bet that most students learning about factoring do not instinctively view the subject as having anything whatsoever to do with 'joy'. ... [B]y contrast, most people (even many math students) equate factoring with tedium. Consequently, anybody setting out to write a book entitled The Joy of Factoring is automatically faced with a double objective. The author must not only teach the reader something about factoring, but must also explain why anybody should care. The book under review succeeds on both counts. ... I think a second course in number theory, or senior seminar, based on this book would be quite interesting. ... The book could also be used as a text for an upper-level course in computer science for students with some background in number theory. It also certainly belongs in any good university library, if only because the material collected in it is not (to my knowledge at any rate) readily available in the textbook literature."
-- Mark Hunacek, MAA Reviews
"This work is a pleasure to read; it is a must for anyone interested in numbers, programming, and codes. The extensive bibliography gives readers direction and the tools to quickly delve deeper into the field. ... Highly recommended."

Fischer Audio has slowly gained popularity over the last year or so and there was quite a buzz on them but nothing interested me enough to go out and purchase them. That changed when LFF posted a review on the DBA 02 and..." --rawrster
Fischer Audio DBA-02 Mk II
" The DBA-02 Mk IIs are getting a lot of the same fame and respect their initial version siblings got. While initial comparisons suggest the Mk IIs are not as distinctive as the originals in shining with as fearless a midrange and treble, the major sonic character seems to have carried. (I never heard the originals but have gathered this from others' opinions.) And..." --ScuderiaHeadFi
Fischer Audio ToughStuff-9001
" Straight out of SANSA Clip+ Bass is accurate, punchy and deep, the mids are slightly recessed and the treble is very crisp. Clarity is up to Fischer standards, no veiled sound here. Overall they sound very similar to the ATH M50, but with less recession and greater clarity (though less inviting imaging) These are one of the best IEM's I'ver ever heard, and for the price..." --1eye1derweasil
Fischer Audio Eterna
" So I owned a pair of CX300II's for over 4 years and finally decided to get a new pair. Of course, I was looking to upgrade from the sennheiser in terms of Bass and overall quality. After reading Jokers 131 IEM thread, I decided to get these. I am extremely pleased with my purchase. I as looking for a IEM that I would use for 1-2 hours at a time on my way to school, and these are..." --2enty3
Fischer Audio Tandem
" Fischer Audio Tandem I was recently able to hear a loaner pair of Fischer Audio Tandem's and was so impressed, I ended up buying a pair off another head-fier. The FA Tandem is a dual micro dynamic driver phone, which retails for $130. It comes with a velveteen pouch and abundant selection of tips. I often prefer pouches for..." --shotgunshane
Fischer Audio Silver Bullets
"First of all, my favourite genres are Progressive Roch/Metal and Classic, that's important to note for this review, because these IEMs are very specific. If you want a good all round package sound-wise and overall, look elswhere; the Fischer Audio Silver Bullets are uncompromisingly about the sound of drums and electric guitars! Their major weakness lies in their thin and flimsy cable. It's..." --AlfredKeppler
Astrotec AM90
" I purchased these IEMs after reading about them in ljokerl's Multi IEM review thread. Needless to say, the sound was different than what I expected. Build - These are very, very well built IEMs. Iron housing, good stress relievers, and a cable that flexes with ease. Build was absolutely stunning. Isolation - These isolated very well, at least for me. Never had better..." --pro1137
Fischer Audio Evolution
" I hope this ongoing review will help you guys out a little. I will keep adding to this as time progresses and will maybe end up reviewing more Fischer IEM's in this thread. I am not a professional reviewer like some of you guys here and English isn't my native language so bear with me. Now, onwards! My main mission objective is to find the best sub-$100 IEMs in the world. After reading..." --Negakinu

Defense analyst Singer discusses robots and war
Posted February 11, 2009; 11:49 p.m.
"Robots and War: Everything You Were Afraid to Ask ... Afraid to Ask ... Afraid to Ask" is the title of a lecture by defense analyst, author and Princeton alumnus P.W. Singer set for 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 17, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
Singer, a 1997 Princeton graduate who concentrated in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, is a senior fellow and director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative at the Brookings Institution. He is the youngest scholar to be named a senior fellow in the think tank's 90-year history.
The lecture will explore issues covered in Singer's latest book, "Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century," which looks at the implications of new technologies for war, politics, ethics and law. A book signing will immediately follow the talk.
Singer's research focuses on three core issues: the future of war, current U.S. defense needs and future priorities, and the future of the U.S. defense system. He served as coordinator of the defense policy task force for Barack Obama's presidential campaign.
Singer has published articles in major newspapers and journals, including The New York Times, The Washington Post and Foreign Affairs, and has provided commentary on military affairs for broadcast outlets in the United States and abroad. He also is a founder and organizer of the U.S.-Islamic World Forum, a global conference that brings together leaders from across the United States and the Muslim world.
The talk is sponsored by the Wilson School.

Luke's my favorite. I was also surprised at how good the detail is on the AT-ST Driver's outfit. For a figure made in 1984, that's pretty good.

(Moderator's Note - This thread's about every week's episode of Enterprise the day after we see it. Feel free to join in at any point.)
Well, we know the crew is going to make some mistakes by not having a concrete non-interference directive.
Once John and Travis staged that internment camp escape, what do you think is going to happen next?
Will there be some kind of organized Sulibaan resistance to The Cabal?
Archer pretty much hates Sillik - and for this captain to hate anyone it's gotta be pretty severe. Archer is the most easy-going Captain in the history of all 5 shows!
So why didn't he just cooperate with the Regallians (?) anyway, and try and use his information to improve the living conditions of the Sulibaan refugees?
Meanwhile, did that one ever see his wife again? If they broke out of one camp, where would they go without their loved ones in others? They're not going to leave family members behind are they? They're going to have to go back and raid the other camps we did not see in this episode.
Cool flying and shooting by Trip - the effects looked especially real this time!
Anyway, now is Earth or at least Archer going to be in-for-it with the Regallians?
Who thought the scenes with Travis being prejudiced and then encountering a Sulibaan who felt the reverse for him was just a little too cliche. I like Star Trek when it has a subtext to it, but that part of the episode was just plain preachy and too phony as it was scripted.
Your thoughts?

Those Awful Mites
It's a problem both cats and dogs experience, and these are the warning signs:
The villain is ear mites, tiny parasites that live on the surface of the skin lining in the ear canal. They pierce the skin surface to feed, causing inflammation and discomfort. If left untreated, bacterial infections and loss of hearing may result.

Thoughts for Thrifting
By Cindy Hamlin, Special to the Citizen 10/27/11
• Don't be afraid of the seedy! Most of the best thrift stores are in the less than ideal parts of town. Thrift stores are dirty and you will have to dig, but isn't a bargain worth digging for?
• Make nice with the owner/manager! Tell them what you are looking for and they may know where it is or will keep an eye out for you.
• Thrift stores need bags for the customer's purchases. Your home is likely filled with them, both paper and plastic, so make nice and curry some favor!
• If there is a quantity of an item, but they are priced individually, ask if they can give you a price if you take all of
them. Be prepared to take them (or not) depending on the price. If you ask for a better price on an item (not all do this) be prepared to pay it. The owners get really peeved if you ask continually and never buy it.
• Most thrift stores have a discount schedule (colored dots/tags, sections that are over stocked with items, etc). This is usually posted or announced when you arrive, so look for it or ask. It may make the difference in buying it or leaving it there.
• Think of other uses for your purchases. The shirt with a spot can be fabric for a bag; a wool sweater can be felted. A shirt missing buttons can have a new funkier set. A single earring can become a pendant on a necklace or the center for a brooch. No item is a lost cause unless it is disgusting!
• Craig's List is a good place to check for shops. They usually post it in the yard/garage sale section.
• Stop in often! They get new merchandise EVERY DAY and ALL DAY! It is not the same store 20 minutes after you leave.
• Google search "thrift shops" and "your town". You may find ones that you never knew of. Ask a fellow thrift shopper if they found any new or cool shops.
• If your gut tells you that the item is worth something, LISTEN! As you develop and fine tune your thrifting skills it gets better. You can also go home and research it. I buy items at the Goodwill and then take home and research it. They have a return policy for store credit only, so I am not at a loss if I take it back.
• Tell your thrifting buddies what you are looking for. They can help you look for that illusive item.
Good luck and happy hunting!

By Heather Wainwright/Mississippi State University
"I saw my buddy in the hall today, and she came up smiling and gave me a big hug. it made my day!" That's the kind of elated feedback that New Albany High School Family and Consumer Sciences instructor Nannette Ballard is hearing from her students. They are volunteers in a project that pairs them as school buddies with classmates who have special needs. The mission for this project is to help the special-needs students become more integrated into the mainstream activity of the student body, mitigating the mobility and other restrictions that they must manage daily and which oftentimes limit their participation in school activities.
Ballard, who is also the sponsor of the school's Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter, has spearheaded the evolution of this project. Previously, as part of her child-development course, Ballard arranged opportunities for her students to interact with their special-needs peers in order that they might better understand the challenges associated with having a child with disabilities.
Many of these students and those who have taken her other five courses have also been involved in the FCA with her. Combining her classroom activity with the mission-oriented FCA, Ballard initiated the buddy program this year, and the student response has been extremely enthusiastic. In fact, three to four students, most of them from her Family and Consumer Sciences courses, volunteered for every special-needs child participating in the program.
A luncheon at the NAHS Career and Technical Center for all the partnered students and the CTC staff kicked off the program. Instructor Anita Alef's Culinary Arts students joined the effort, decorating for the occasion and managing the potluck buffet. The student-buddies exchanged friendship bracelets and played football-themed games. The gathering was so well received that Ballard plans to have monthly luncheons throughout the school year.
"My students have learned that the more they expose themselves to different people and take the time to build relationships with them, the more 'alike' they are than they thought," Ballard said. During pep rallies, the volunteer partners sit with their buddies, many of whom cannot sit with their peers in the grade-designated areas. The volunteers also visit their buddies in class to help them read, sit with them in the cafeteria and celebrate birthdays or other special occasions with small gifts or cards.
The student volunteers enrolled in one of Ballard's classes dedicate one period a month to an activity with their buddies, such as reading, teaching and assisting in creative projects or physical-fitness activities.
The special education teacher said her students were initially apprehensive about being paired with the other students, but they now eagerly anticipate the visits from their buddies and sitting together at pep rallies and assemblies.
Ballard's approach for the Family and Consumer Sciences program includes instilling in her students a sense of community connectedness, which she hopes will make them better citizens and leaders as well as improve family stability in our society. Ballard credits the buddy program with not only breaking down barriers to foster connections, but also with helping all of the students gain confidence
and leadership skills.
Ballard believes by developing confidence in a variety of situations, these students have a better chance of achieving career goals.
At NAHS, the collaboration between career and technical education and the FCA is going a long way toward "opening up many possibilities for all of (the students)," she said.

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Some hope
I'm a pretty dedicated flyfishing only kind of guy... but when the count goes over 400k in the Lake Washington system I break out the dodgers and bare hooks for my share of ocean bright sockeye fillets before and after work! I recall one year they went over 700k and the limit per person went to 4/day. If we did it right we were in work by 9:30am with our limits of red salmon fillet in the cooler.
This is precisely the kind of fishery where harvest is sensible and appropriate... a run of salmon that is off limits until peak years. IMHO, opening river systems to harvest despite depressed returns makes no sense. I like BC's policy of rotating fishing areas (even coastal).
Glad to hear the reds are strong this year. My Big Chief smoker will be feeling left out sitting in my east coast garage during all the hub-bub.
RE:Some hope
If you're looking for nutrients from rotting salmon carcasses, check out the Cedar River this fall. The sockeye run is going to be incredible this year. It might even hit 500,000 fish the way the counts are going at the Ballard Locks. If only it were that way every year.
RE:Some hope
Thanks Jeff, fascinating article. I just can't help but be a little skeptical when man tries to do anything nature does better. About the only thing we humans can do to help nature is leave her alone, and we really suck at that. I believe the PNW ecosystem is designed to cycle nutrients from salmonid bodies, therefore when these runs are decimated the rivers will be depressed in many different dimensions of biomass. If left alone to succeed, or perhaps after a refresh period of fertilization before being left alone, the nutrient level should return to the natural cycle and this will promote itself to health.
I can't disagree that fertilization of rivers may be a useful assistance program to rekindle salmonid populations in over-fished and over-logged river systems. I hope the implication of this is to reboot river systems and not to put rivers on an artificial nutrient program to cover up our tendency to commit nature crimes.
Forgive my seeming mistrust of these things, and thanks for the cool story link.
Some hope
I just ran across this article. It appears there is hope if we are willing to take a hard look at thing. Where can we get some of those fertilizer pellets?

The 2007 House-approved version of the Farm Bill, however, gives a much-needed boost to this program, which recently took criticism in Maine for having the nation's highest error rate (at the beginning of this month, Governor John Baldacci had to sign a $1 million emergency financial order that will help hire workers to fix the problems). "We really like the House version," says Maine Center for Economic Policy federal-budget analyst Nicole Witherbee, who points out that by linking food stamp allocation to inflation, the bill would gradually restore food stamps' purchasing power. "It won't rise very quickly, but steadily at least." All told, the House bill allots $4 billion for food stamps, and hundreds of millions more for school lunch programs. It also pumps up the Emergency Food Assistance Program, which helps stock food banks and shelters, from $140 million to $250 million between 2008 and 2012.
In addition, the House bill raises the minimum benefits for the elderly, changes the regulations to remove service members' combat pay from income calculations, and makes it possible for people to save money for education without the risk of going hungry (in the past, people with more than $2000 in savings were not eligible for food stamps). "We want poor people to save money so that they will no longer have to use these programs," Witherbee says.

I need to vent about Java. Please ignore or read with amusement.
I've been working for the past few days on an IDL parser in Java. The parser includes an arithmetic evaluator for constant value declarations in IDL, like this :
const unsigned long field_value = 88; const float pi_field_value = field_value * 3.14; const string name = "foo";
Since constants can be string types or numeric types, the parser has to pass around the constant values as strings, convert the strings to numeric types when it expects to have to evaluate some arithmetic operation (of course throwing an exception when the string doesn't represent a number), then convert the result back to a string. In a language like C or C++ this would be a pain. But, let the angels rejoice, it's also a pain in Java !
Consider this short example program to convert two strings to longs, add them, and convert the result to a string :
public class Dumb { public static void main(String args[]) { long a = Long.parseLong(args[0], 10); long b = Long.parseLong(args[1], 10); String result = a + b; System.out.println(a+" + "+b+" = "+result); } }
Originally, I wanted to just make two Long objects and add them together. But in Java you can't add two Long objects together* (specifically, the java compiler informs me, "operator + cannot be applied to java.lang.Long,java.lang.Long"). Grr.
Just for comparison I wrote a functionally equivalent Python script :
from sys import argv a = long(argv[1]) b = long(argv[2]) result = `a + b` print "%d + %d = %s" % (a, b, result)
The ratio of bytes of source code in the two examples is 112/213 ~ 0.523. So it looks like there are about two characters in my Java code for every useful character in the equivalent Python code. Is the compile-time security of strong typing worth having to input twice the code ? I'm not convinced. Particularly because Java containers like Hashtable can only store Objects (which is an extra pain when you want to store a number in a hash table, see *), Java's type safety is often reduced to the whim of the programmer. I am aware that Java will be coming out with C++-like templates sometime soon, but it just seems like so much extra grunt work.

Since Squanto taught the Pilgrims to plant maize, no food has been more emblematic of the evolution of American eating habits than corn. That's been true from the sepia-tinged golden age of the Midwestern breadbasket to the present day, where those yellow kernels are lab-engineered and recombinated into a dizzying array of futuristic foodstuffs.
In Mark Kurlansky's new anthology, The Food of a Younger Land (Riverhead) — which compiles reportage and recipes from "America Eats," an unfinished venture of the Depression-era WPA Federal Writers' Project — we visit Pop Corn Days in North Loup, Nebraska. There, fairgoers munched from "bushels of popped fluffiness" while watching the procession of the Pop Corn Queen, "heralded by buglers with green capes over their uniforms . . . regal in her robes of lustrous gold satin." We also learn how, across the Midwest, corn was "cultivated for uses in 'johnny-cake,' corn mush, 'big hominy,' ash-cake, corn whisky, corn pone, or the small loaves called 'corn dodgers.' "
LISTEN: Podcast of Mark Kurlansky on his latest book, The Food of a Younger Land
VIEW: A Flickr slideshow of Kurlansky's hand-made linocuts
Nowadays, though, as we're shown in Robert Kenner's new documentary Food, Inc., we consume corn via high-fructose corn syrup, maltodextrin, di-glycerides, xanthan gum, ascorbic acid, calcium stearate, citrus cloud emulsion, saccharin, sucrose, sorbital, ethyl acetate, ethyl lactate, cellulose, xylital, alpha tocopherol, gluten, polydextrose, inositol, and Fibersol-2. Gives the term "corn-fed" a whole new meaning, eh?
"The way we eat has changed more in the last 50 years than the previous 10,000," notes Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore's Dilemma, at the outset of Food, Inc. And not for the better.
The food we eat today is making us fat. It's making us sick. And the vast, government-subsidized system of agribusiness and mechanized corporate food production is inefficient and unsustainable, slowly ruining our environment, our economy, and our culture.
There are few better ways to remind ourselves of what has transpired in just a few decades than to experience Kurlansky's book and Kenner's movie side by side.
The former, as its subtitle puts it, is a "portrait of American food before the national highway system, before chain restaurants, and before frozen food," when what we ate "was seasonal, regional, and traditional."
The latter may as well be subtitled "What the national highway system, chain restaurants, frozen food, corporate meat-packing, omni-available factory-farmed produce, laboratory-engineered flavors, genetically modified crop seeds, artificial growth hormones, and cloned animals mean for the future of the American diet, landscape, and society."
The mass industrialization of food that began mid-20th century promised abundance and cost-efficiency. By some measures, it would seem to have delivered on that promise. Witness the galaxy of processed, packaged snacks on brightly lit display in your supermarket — the average of which, we're told, holds 47,000 different items — where a two-liter bottle of cola costs a buck while a half-gallon of milk costs $2.49.
But Kenner's film is an appetite-killing primer on the myriad hidden costs that make the true prices much, much higher.

My 2 to 1 sugar water is crystalizing in feeder. Anyone know a remedy?

My 2 to 1 sugar water is crystalizing in feeder. Anyone know a remedy?
How long has it been in the feeder?
It's probably not 'crystalizing' like honey does-I'm thinking its probably just undisolved sugar thats left over in the syrup. 2:1 is incredibly thick and takes a lot of heat and a lot of stirring to get all the sugar disolved.
ALL of the sugar was thoroughly dissolved when I put it in there two days ago.
Humm I mix thousands of pounds of sugar syrup up a year and store it for weeks at a time and I've never seen it crystallize? So if you got it thoroughly dissolved I don't know...
If you are off in your measurements and add too much sugar, you'll no longer have 2:1 and the possibility of it crystallizing increases.
Here's a handy table: The Solubility Of The Sugars
Tony P.
You need to dissolve the sugar better. Keep at it, becuase 2:1 is pretty thick; not abnormal though.
A little lemon juice or citric acid can help. The acidity will invert some of the sugars making them more soluble than plain table sugar.
I did add a splash of vinegar. Also, I still have two quart jars full of the same batch sitting on my kitchen counter. They're both clear as glass and have no crystals whatsoever.
What ratio of vinegar/lemon juice does a person add per say gallon of 2-1?
citric acid or ascorbic acid per kilogram of sugar. But, the heating is really what inverts the mix. :)
Originally Posted by Wikipedia

I've switched to 5:3 (5 parts sugar to 3 parts water).
Tony P.
also went to 5:3. goes into solution easy with hot tap water, still a little crystalization left in the bottom of the feeder after the syrup is gone.
Sorry to be so late with a reply, but I wanted to be sure that everything worked out. Y'all were right; my water was not hot enough when I added the sugar. I cleaned out the $15 "Plastic 10 Frame Hive Top Feeder" from Brushy Mountain on hive #5 by removing all of the sugar crystals with a heavy hose spray. Then I brought the two remaining quarts of 2/1 sugar water to a boil while stirring. I put it in two days ago, and there is no crystallization. My next batch will be 5:3 ratio, Thanks! Joe
BTW, FYI Some of you might remember my earlier writing how those Brushy Mountain feeders didn't work and had killed a lot of my bees. My son (owner of Hive #4) told me that his had worked great this spring... hmmmmmm, geeeeeee, surely it was not MY fault that they didn't work for me! Well, I figured it out (somehow ? it had to be my wife's fault)... Anyway, I have them on both hives #1 and #5, and there is no problem(s) with them whatsoever.Attachment 2918
So to convert a 2:1 syrup to 5:3?
If I have 20lbs to 10 pints I guess I would add 2 more pints to bring it to a 60% solution.
Yes, 20# sugar to 6 quarts water would be 5:3, i.e., 20#:12#.
ETA You also have to make several sizes of boards to cover it and the top of the hive. I have five different sizes cut to cover all areas, depending on wherever I decide to place the feeder.

Looking for an easy dessert using Betty Crocker® fudge brownie mix? Then check out this great brownie topped with whipped cream sprinkled with cocoa.
The name of these brownies stems from the same flavors found in an exquisite chocolate-cherry torte, which was embellished with cherry liqueur (Kirsch) and whipped cream, that originated in Germany's Black Forest region.
Sprinkling the dessert wth cocoa makes it special. Put the cocoa in a tea strainer and lightly shake it over the dessert.

Homeland Security To Scan Citizens Exiting US 676
An anonymous reader writes "The US Department of Homeland Security is set to kickstart a controversial new pilot to scan the fingerprints of travellers departing the United States. From June, US Customs and Border Patrol will take a fingerprint scan of travellers exiting the United States from Detroit, while the US Transport Security Administration will take fingerprint scans of international travellers exiting the United States from Atlanta. The controversial plan to scan outgoing passengers — including US citizens — was allegedly hatched under the Bush Administration. An official has said it will be used in part to crack down on the US population of illegal immigrants."

During 2012, Bhat Biotech, a diagnostic company from Bangalore has launched a dengue kit. The company noted that the kit is very sensitive and easy to use. This kit can detect both antigen and antibodies. It is fast as it is based on the lateral flow immuno-chromatography-based technology. This test can detect the infection within three days of infection. Besides, the market witnessed a soft launch of SES platform by XCyton Diagnostics from Bangalore. The company observed that the platform allows for simultaneous identification of 26 different pathogens in a single sample in a single test. It detects RNA viruses, DNA viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungi in a single sample of 1 ml of cerebrospinal fluid in a single test. Currently, existing products are uniplex PCRs and immunodiagnostics. If a battery of these tests have to be performed it will cost nearly $818-to-$909 (Rs45000-to-Rs50,000) per patient sample and takes seven-to-10 days to complete. SES on the other hand costs only one third of that for a seven hour process.
Reliance Life Sciences, one-of-the-leading life sciences companies of India from Mumbai having wide interest in biotechnology has launched Reli Stat in August 2012. ReliStat is a thrombin-based hemostatic kit for use in surgeries to control excessive bleeding and post operative oozing. Currently there are no similar products existing in the Indian market. Priced at $140 (Rs7,750) per kit, this hemostatic kit is expected to be used by surgeons in various surgeries including oncology surgeries, neuro surgeries, general surgeries as well as laparoscopic procedures. Thrombin supplied as part of the ReliStat kit is manufactured in-house in the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Navi Mumbai.
Acton Biotech developed a novel oral alkylating agent, Temozolomide, commonly used drug for Glioma and which has been found to be effective only in patients who have an inactive methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT). This allows the doctors to determine if Temozolomide therapy will work on a certain patient and if not then the doctor will recommend something else.
Currently, there are 20 recombinant therapeutics, which are approved for marketing in India by the GEAC. Since 2005, the Review Committee on Genetic Manipulation (RCGM) under GEAC has approved 94 clinical trials to be conducted in India related to recombinant pharmaceutical and therapeutic products recommended by the DCGI. There are close to 100 biopharmaceutical companies actively involved in R&D, manufacturing and marketing of biologics in India. No Indian company has launched recombinant therapeutic product during 2012.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – The winningest coach in the history of Ole Miss basketball addressed his future as the Rebels' coach following a stunning, NCAA-hope draining 73-67 loss at rival Mississippi State.
Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy, without naming Ross Bjork, referred all such questions to the school's athletics director.
Bjork expressed support for Kennedy and the program following the team's loss at struggling South Carolina on Feb. 20 to Hugh Kellenberger of The Clarion-Ledger and said Kennedy would be evaluated at the end of the year.
"All those questions, all of that speculation should be answered by the person who has the ability to make those decisions, not by me," Kennedy said.
A year ago Bjork, months into his new job, made the decision to extend Kennedy's contract but added no money to his $1.3 million annual salary. Kennedy has two years remaining on the contract.
In his seventh year Kennedy is 146-86 at Ole Miss. His team's have played in the NIT in five of his first six season.
It's not a given that Ole Miss would play in the NIT this season. Bjork has said he'll rely heavily on in-put from Ole Miss players.
Johnson returns
MSU forward Roquez Johnson played well in his return from a three-game suspension, notching 10 points and five rebounds.
Coach Rick Ray was less concerned about his production than about his hustle.
During Johnson's suspension, Ray showed him the team's hustle chart and how Johnson's numbers there had dropped off.
"I said, 'Don't worry about the scoring, that's a secondary thing right there. People are scouting you and taking away your drives and some opportunities like that, but what you are is a hustle guy,'" Ray said.
Player of the game
Colin Borchert scored a career-high 21 points on 7-of-10 shooting, and he hurt Ole Miss both inside and out. He made 3 of 4 from 3-point range.
"I can't tell you how much energy and enthusiasm our guys had for that basketball game when they saw the student body population filled up like that." – MSU coach Rick Ray
What's next?
Ole Miss hosts Alabama on Tuesday, while MSU visits South Carolina on Wednesday.
