...version 0.2 is out! Downloads are here. I've added support for default values for optional fields and fixed some issues (mostly around enumerated types) that I discovered along the way.
One thing I noticed while writing SRFI-64 unit tests, though, was how neatly the `environment' procedure in the R6RS `(rnrs eval)' library works for testing code generation. My code generation routines return lists of datums representing expressions for creating the required bindings for a particular data type definition. `environment' allows for the creation of ad hoc "sandboxes" in which these binding expressions can be evaluated -- and in which test expressions can also be evaluated so that you can make assertions about the behavior of the stuff you bound. To wit:
(define test-env (environment '(rnrs)))
(for-each (lambda (expr) (eval expr test-env))
(protoc:generate-message my-message-def))
(test-assert (protobuf:message-builder? (eval '(make-my-message-builder) test-env)))
And you can create a new sandbox for every test, so that you don't have to worry about bindings generated by previous test cases polluting the environment of subsequent test cases that generate code for the same input definitions.

ATL's defense played way too soft, way too early and Seattle was staging a comeback. They actually did come back and lead by 1 with 31 seconds left. 2 passes later ATL took the lead with a 49 yd FG to win.
Hats off to the Rookie for leading his team to score 28 points, 21 of which were in the 4th Qtr!

But you're like some of those who jumped on the Seattle band-wagon a little prematurely. Now consensus is Atlanta loses to 49ers, you'll be on that train too, I'm sure. Go Falcons!

Yesterday, my local library (different branch than I usually go to, however) had a family SW Day, with a local costume group there, storytime readings, costume contests for kids ( ), trivia (I didn't know one for sure and another was a subtle one), coloring, R2-D2 cut-out masks, etc. Fun times. See the pic below for the Emperor's reading of Green Eggs and Ham. He read it unlike Dr. Seuss; too aggressive.
Anyhow, there's obviously more in the country, in the world, that are just like this. And maybe, if posted early enough, some can attend them, too.

However, the latest version seems to have some new issues of its own. Refer this thread:
That thread doesn't actually say he has "the latest version".
and it doesn't have the problem with the 10-second wait. So, good to go!

Levitin to speak on music and the brain
Thursday, April 17, 2008, 4:30 p.m. · Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St.
Posted April 10, 2008; 11:16 p.m.
Daniel Levitin, author of the international bestseller "This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession," will provide an overview of recent research on music and the brain at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, April 17, in the Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St.
Levitin's lecture, titled "This Is Your Brain on Music," will review experiments from his own laboratory and others that deal with questions such as: Are the brains of musicians different from the brains of nonmusicians? Why do some people become experts and others, with the same amount of practice, do not? Why do people like the music they like?
After spending the 1980s as a professional musician, record producer, music industry executive, stand-up comedian and joke writer, Levitin pursued an academic career in the 1990s. He is now an associate professor of psychology, behavioral neuroscience and music at McGill University in Montreal.
Levitin's 2006 book "This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession" investigates how people experience music and why it plays such a unique role in their lives. It has been published in eight languages. Levitin also has been published widely in scientific journals and music trade publications such as Grammy, Billboard and Audio, for which he has interviewed artists including Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon.
The event is part of the /@rts ("slash arts") lecture series.

"Annette's t**s are great."
That's a great line Caesar! lol
A couple nights ago I watched A Simple Plan. I really enjoy this movie everytime I watch it. The movie is well directed (Mr. Raimi) and well acted, even though I find myself wanting to slap some of the characters at times (mainly Billy Bob). It is a great story and the movie reminds me a lot of Fargo; another film I need to watch real soon.
Last night I put on The Fugitive. I got about half way through it before I fell asleep. This is another great movie that I plan on finishing up tonight. I had no idea this was directed by Andrew Davis, the same guy who did Under Siege; yet another film I need to revisit real soon.
BTW - Last night it occured to me that the lady who plays Dept. Marshal Poole (the black lady w/ Tommy Lee Jones) is the same lady who plays Rose in Lost (L. Scott Caldwell). :crazed:
Billy Bob Thorton and Harrison Ford deserved Oscars for A Simple Plan and The Fugitive.
I watched Zodiac the other night. I wished he would have come to my house and killed me while I wwas watching this POS
Watching Let's Make a Deal on GSN.
I watched The Messengers last night. This movie was okay. The movie was pretty creepy (mainly towards the beginning and parts of the middle) and had some good scares at moments. It was a bit predictable though, the ending. This Kristen Stewart chick is something else; she's only 17 too. She has potential. It was directed by the Pang Brothers, so thats a plus. The movie did try to hard at times, which I think hurt it; much like the remake of Pulse. Could have been better, could have been worse. :neutral:
Just got back from watching Knocked Up. I thought this movie was hilarious. I actually enjoyed it more than The 40 Year Old Virgin too. Can't really go into detail, but if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
BTW- I was really surprised at how many older people were at the showing. I mean people in their late 50's, 60's, 70's and possibly 80's. It was crazy. Of course two old ladies walked out of it, possibly others. What were these people expecting?!?!?
Watched the following from my list of favorites while I was home from work over the last week and a half recovering from surgery:
The 40 Year Old Virgin
Shattered Glass
Moulin Rouge
Best in Show
Over the Top
Chasing Amy
The Office Season 1
multiple episodes of The Office Season 2 (plus deleted scenes, bloopers, commentaries, etc)
multiple episodes of The Sopranos from seasons 3 and 7
On TV, I watched several reruns of Golden Girls and Roseanne, plus many episodes of Criss Angel Mindfreak and Dog the Bounty Hunter.
Watched Smoking Aces today. A decent flick.
Kill Bill Vol I right now..
I watched A SIMPLE PLAN a few months ago for one of my classes and I loved it. It's such a great simple flick about greed, power, and just how wrong humans can be. Very good film.
And I JUST realized the LOST connection a few weeks ago when I was watching THE FUGITIVE on TNT. It took me a few seconds and then I yelped, "holy s***, that's Rose!"
I saw KNOCKED UP yesterday and laughed my a-- off. It's hard to compare it to 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN as they're two different films on every level. Both movies are comedy classics and Judd Apatow is just a terrific writer and filmmaker. He has the ability to make flicks that are just hysterical but also have a lot of heart to them. It was the same with "Freaks and Geeks" and "Undeclared" and I was really happy to see so many of his alum make cameos or have major roles in this flick.
My WM store had a display with a bunch of movies for 4.88. They included flicks like GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK, SYRIANA, KISS KISS, BANG BANG, and then random flicks like ROMEO MUST DIE and DUMB AND DUMBER; there were about 20 various titles in all. I picked up: The Fugitive, US Marshals, Dave, and T3 (2 disc widescreen) for about 18 bucks (with my discount). You can't top that. I think it's a Fathers day display, so be on the look out. :thumbsup: Also picked up the Rocky anthology at Target as they had it for $18.99 this week. Score! :crazed:

Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
EDIT: I just did an internet search and found him: Bodie Taylor. I wouldn't object to him in the role either, I guess. Although he's never actually worn the armor, has he?
Even though I never finished the series, there are enough cool elements in HTTE that I wouldn't mind seeing adapted into the ST. Plus I think Thrawn is a cool character at the design level, I just never really liked how he was written in the book. I can't help but think that, if the Emperor really had this tactical genius who always seemed to know exactly what the heroes were going to do and always had a contingency plan to stop them, then why wouldn't Palpatine have called upon his expertise at some point after the first Death Star exploded? It just feels too convenient for me. Kind of like, "Oh the Empire really did have this competent, unstoppable military force, but they were always just offscreen during the films."

I guess my main reason is, I grew up knowing that Han and Leia's kids were Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin. To all of a sudden have their kids with other names would be a shock to the system. It would be like, in a lesser state mind you, growing up believing that you mom and dad are your mom and dad, only to find out when you're in your late twenties you were adopted. And even if their backstories change, you can still use some of the EU as off-camera filler stories, sort of like the PT EU is, as long as you use the names.Any characters in the films that have names taken from EU simply won't be the same characters that EU fans grown to love. They might have the names, but they won't have the same personalities or backstories, as you've acknowledged. But isn't that what endeared them to EU fans in the first place?

I've only ever seen the theory that Palpatine took over the galaxy to save it from the Vong as a fan theory, not an actual EU story . . . unless I'm wrong? God, I hope I'm not.

It was very strongly hinted at in various EU books around the time of the NJO, particularly Rogue Planet. Palpatine chose that moment in history to take over the universe because he thought the Jedi would lead to the downfall of the entire galaxy. He later sent Thrawn out that way, because he saw the Vong as a bigger threat than the Jedi, who he could wipe out with a bunch of New Zealanders in colorful white armor. Palpy never comes out and says, "Hmmm, I think I will take over the galaxy now because these aliens from another galaxy are bad news," but it's definitely intended to be the case.

Anyway, here's an old quote from Lucas that kind of hints how the current post-ROTJ EU fits in with his vision (emphasis added):
This quote comes from a Merge Digital interview dated 2006; but I found it referenced in this article which is pretty fascinating to read:"And now there have been novels about the events after Episode VI, which isn't at all what I would have done with it. The Star Wars story is really the tragedy of Darth Vader. That is the story. Once Vader dies, he doesn't come back to life, the Emperor doesn't get cloned and Luke doesn't get married."
So, what Lucas is basically saying is that, if he wrote a story for Luke, Han and Leia that takes place after ROTJ, then it wouldn't be at all like the current EU continuity. I'm not sure how relevant that is right now, but it's pretty interesting and might give a hint at how faithful they plan to be to the existing post-ROTJ storylines.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
Lucas asked that only Anakin Solo be killed off. He didn't want books coming out with 2 Anakins - one for each era - because he thought readers would get oonfused - who becomes Darth Vader, and who calls Han Solo "daddy."
Also the cast must be kept from getting too large.
If Han and Leia only have 1 child, a girl, 32 years old - an adult Imperial Knight by this point - that will be fine. There's Jaina. They don't have to explain that she had two brothers who are already dead - one who she even had to slay.
I think to appeal to the kids, they might be seen with a little girl (age 10 or younger) - that would be their grand-daughter Allanah - and they don't even have to mention who her parents were (you obviously know they were a direct child lost to Han and Leia - Jacen in this case).
And yes, Luke's New Jedi Order allows marriages. Mara would be dead and thus you'd have Ben training with his father.

Speaking of piling on, in your experience Julie and others, what do you think these pictures did to our diplomatic relations a few years ago and were you folks just as concerned then about this breach of protocol and whether the reaction of the administration then was a sign of arrogance????
Similarly, Hew posted:Did you think these types of standards applied then too?The Obama admin should either a) fire their current staff that oversees official protocol or b) actually listen to what that staff tries to tell them.
Go ahead and chalk this up to "apples and oranges" from a "liberal" if you like, but in all seriousness which of these events do you think has the more serious short and long-term consequences for this country? What the heck, let's throw the IPod gift in the mix just to make the answer more difficult.

Click here for update at Parrish Alford's Inside Ole Miss Sports blog.
NASHVILLE – While Marshall Henderson kept Ole Miss in the game, freshman Derrick Millinghaus hit the shot that may have put them in the NCAA Tournament.
It certainly keeps them in the conversation.
Millinghaus fueled a second-half rally and his floater with 1.1 seconds remaining was the game-winner in the Rebels' 64-62 win over Missouri at Bridgestone Arena late Friday night.
Millinghaus ended up with the ball after Henderson couldn't get a clean look.
"I looked and saw the lane was open, so I took one dribble and just threw it up," Millinghaus said. "I was kind of shaky. I was like I don't want to miss and take all the blame for this loss. It went in and I was like, 'Yes.' "
The Tigers (22-10) could have played for the last shot but turned it over on the inbounds under the Ole Miss basket.
Millinghaus finished with 11 points, Henderson with 27.
"I think we've just created a really big rivalry in the SEC between Ole Miss and Missouri," Henderson said. "That's good."
Missouri and Ole Miss went to a neutral court to play their most hotly contested game of the year.
It went the way of the Rebels – in a situation where a loss would likely have left them on the outside looking into the NCAA tournament yet again.
Ole Miss (24-8) will take on No. 10 seed Vanderbilt (16-16) in Saturday's semifinal at 2:30 p.m. The game will be on ABC.
Friday'night's meeting had similarities to the road loss in that Tigers' center Alex Oriakhi was tough to handle inside.
Oriakhi wasn't quite the beast he was on Feb. 9 when he had 22 points and 18 rebounds, but his first-half play got the Tigers out in front.
The play of point guard Phil Pressey helped Oriakhi get clean looks, and it was finally Pressey and Ole Miss freshman Millinghaus trading 3s inside the final minute to make it 62-all with 29.2 seconds to play.
Millinghaus fueled a second-half rally that saw the Rebels erase a 13-point deficit as Missouri struggled to hit shots around the rim.
Ole Miss tied the game when Reggie Buckner scored with an assist from Murphy Holloway with 2:22 left, but Missouri regained the lead on an Oriakhi putback.
Henderson, the SEC's leading free throw shooter, hit two to knot things up at 59 with 1:08 left.
"We got a gift at the end when they threw us the ball, but our effort and tenacity (were) simply because we were on death row, and we knew that in order to get off death row, you've got to make a play," Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. "And we were fortunate enough to make one or two."
Pressey and the Missouri guards didn't shoot as well as they did in Columbia, but his seven assists made things easier for Oriakhi and his other teammates.
The Tigers stretched a seven-point halftime lead to 12 before six quick points from Henderson – three free throws and a 3-pointer – made it 42-36, and Missouri called time with 14 minutes, 23 seconds remaining.
Missouri came out of the timeout with a 7-0 run started when Jabari Brown hit a 3 with Henderson in his face, and when Earnest Ross scored with an offensive rebound kept alive by an Oriakhi tip.
Summers hurt
As the Rebels (24-8) increasingly relied on Henderson, his burden became heavier early in the second half when Jarvis Summers caught an unintentional elbow from Missouri's Laurence Bowers, became wobbly and fell to the floor before heading to the locker room.
Into the breach stepped Millinghaus, the 5-foot-10 guard, who was averaging 5.6 points per game. He went 5-for-8 in 22 minutes.
Both teams were sloppy early. Finally, Henderson broke the scoring ice with a 3-pointer almost 3 minutes in.
Missouri scored the next eight points.
Ole Miss came back to take a 13-11 edge, but Missouri began to settle in.
Buckner and Holloway each picked up two early fouls. Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy didn't have to luxury of sitting them for an extended period of time, so the Rebels went zone, making it harder to get out in the transition game.
"Every single game we've watched on TV (there) has been a big lead and it's come back down to the end, every single one of them that we've watched in the conference tournaments," Henderson said. "We knew at some point it was going to break our way. We just had to make some plays and get some stops."
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

It is often said a church is not a building, but the congregation, a group of people called to live out the gospel in the world.
Just as people change, so congregations change in size and need, forcing them to let go of the buildings many of them have come to think of as home. Fortunately, the hands churches fall into can be quite loving.
Alive and Well
The Amory Church of Christ outgrew its original location on Main Street over 60 years ago. Since then, the church has hosted a few ventures, most recently a hair salon that closed in the '90s. It waited empty until 2010, when real estate saleswoman Penny Leech bought it at foreclosure on a whim, unsure of what exactly to do with it.
"My husband and I loved the building," she said. "We bought it at a steal, but it was too strange for banks to make an investment in."
Leech fostered a longtime interest in the art of yoga, and decided to get her instructor's certification and turn the sanctuary into her Alive and Well yoga studio. In addition, she altered the basement of the church to hold a small number of climate-controlled storage units, the rent from which would help fund the building.
"We had this huge renovation in mind at first, but I think we had been watching too much HDTV," she said. "We really didn't do much besides put in a new floor, central heat and air, and new paint."
She said the calming practice of yoga fit well with the cozy sanctuary of the church. Her husband, a musician, enjoys the acoustics provided by the lofty ceiling.
"It's a refuge and a playground, where I can come and do something for me," Leech said. "It's not very common for a church to go on the real estate market, but when it does it takes some creativity to reuse the space."
The Windows
Right around the corner in Amory sits a church that predates the town itself. Now known simply as "The Windows," the church originated in nearby Cotton Gin Port until, seeking higher ground, the congregation rolled the original wooden structure into Amory on logs in 1887.
For years, the church served as home to multiple denominations until each one could build a church of its own.
"The railroad sold church plots back then for one dollar," said Gloria Herring, who took an interest in the church when she noticed a for sale sign on it in 2010.
Herring said the wooden building was built over in brick – the current structure – in 1926, and changed hands numerous times until 1988 when it was purchased and used by Free Will Baptist Church. Free Will's congregation dwindled until there weren't enough members to afford the upkeep. When Herring came across it, she had heard it was going to be demolished or chopped up to sell the windows it gets its name from.
"My husband and I wanted to see it before it was torn down. Once I got inside and saw the original pews and windows, I knew I wanted to save it," she said.
Herring then spearheaded a successful effort to purchase the building with the help of the CREATE Foundation. Today, the church remains well-kept and untouched aside from the installation of central heat and air. It is booked regularly for weddings, receptions, family reunions, and cultural events like a holiday market taking place in the fall, where local artists can display and sell their work.
The Sanctuary Antiques and Garden Shop in Corinth was an actual sanctuary until 2002, when St. Paul's Episcopal Church outgrew the building and relocated to a new building on Highway 250.
Jan Grady, a member of St. Paul's since moving to Corinth 50 years ago, said when she arrived, the congregation numbered in the 30s. It stayed small until the late 1980s, when industry around Corinth drew more people. She credited young clergy kept fresh faces in the pews, as more young couples and new families migrated to the city. Soon, even the parish house next to the church was not enough to contain its members. With no room to expand in the residential neighborhood, the congregation was forced to part from their church home. The church building and grounds were deconsecrated , and the congregation moved to a new facility on property the church purchased in 1999, after exploring every other option. "We even thought about moving the church, but taking down power lines along the route was too costly," Grady said.
Though a few members had reservations about a new facility, Grady said once they experienced the convenience of a bigger space, they became more comfortable with it.
"We took the windows, pews, communion rail, so it was almost like we had just redecorated," Grady said. "It still feels like home and everyone is pleased with the way the old building has been kept up."
The building, now an antique shop in the main building and a florist in the parish house, was snatched off the market by Susan Dickerson in 2003. Hunting and trading antiques had been a hobby of Dickerson's for some time, so she thought the church was a chance to make a living out of something she enjoyed.
"The store has a lot of character, and aside from the missing pews, most things are still the same," she said. "Members from St. Paul's come in every now and then and talk about how they used to sit at a certain place in the store, or how they watched their children get married there."
Dickerson said she was intentional about treating the old church with sensitivity, and that sensitivity has paid off by offering a unique and memorable atmosphere for visitors.

After a sporadic pointer bug, I've finally come up with a
stable version of a duplicate file finder. It uses standard
shell tools so I'm proud of that. It also takes 50-66% of
the time a similar tool (fdupes) needs to do the job.
Next project: xjig - understand and update. I believe this game is very underrated and neglected. It should be as ubiquitous as klondike or tapei.

Five minutes and four ingredients are all you need to assemble these delicious parfaits - perfect for dessert.
Why it Works: Good Bacteria
Over 3,000 years ago, yogurt was probably invented as a way to preserve fresh milk. Today, even with refrigerators, we have learned to enjoy the creamy, acidic taste of yogurt, and the process of making it hasn't changed much. Ingredients used are milk (fat-free [skim], 2% or whole) and bacteria. In the beginning, the bacteria might have been added by simply letting warm milk sit uncovered in hopes that the correct bacteria would come along. Today, the process is more controlled (and safer): Pure bacteria are added directly to milk. As the bacteria "eat" the sugar in the milk it produces acid. And it's this acid that causes the milk to thicken into yogurt.

Started in 1999 by a handful of San Francisco Bay Area friends who "wanted to make noise" and "didn't have anything better to do," the project has grown into a veritable literary movement. Last year, nanowrimo.org — now organized by the nonprofit Office of Letters and Light — registered over 250,000 participants; more than 35,000 of them would become "winners" by uploading a fictional work of more than 50,000 words by November's end.
Here in Rhode Island, the local chapter is going strong, according to liaison Andy Affleck, a mobile app developer by day for the startup Ozmott. Affleck — who, himself, is writing a futuristic thriller involving trillionaires, terrorists, Japanese fisherman, and giant floating cities in the ocean — says it's not too late to start your own novel, though you'll have to produce more than the standard NaNoWriMo daily quota of 1667 words. Right now, writers are gathering in the "Rhody Wrimos" Facebook group and at regular "write-ins" from Newport to Woonsocket. In Providence, they meet on weekends in the basement of the Athenaeum.
And what better buffet of inspiration for a DIY thriller fan than the November 15 panel at Brown? Not only have the participants sold warehouses worth of books, they're known for sharing trade secrets.
But in Providence, the biggest thrills have always come from the headlines. A hepatitis scare that begins at a pizza joint off Thayer Street. A hidden apartment tucked away in a Providence Place parking garage. A $75 million dollar, state-sanctioned heist — I mean, "loan guarantee" — to fund the design of a digital fantasy world called "Amalur."
And then there is the Hay Library, itself. Though the thriller archive materials have yet to arrive, Horrocks assures me that, when they do, everyone — not just Brown students — will have access. "That's our job," he says. "We have such vast collections that there's a social responsibility to have it open to all who are interested."
In the meantime, you may want to head over to that marble-encased palace of literature, anyway. From the boxes of drafts by local thrill king H.P. Lovecraft; to the tall-ceilinged reading room monitored by security cameras and the busts of past Brown presidents; to the lock-and-key archives upstairs, where letters by Abraham Lincoln and an original death mask of Napoleon Bonaparte are archived, the Hay is an inspiration factory. When you arrive, ask a librarian about the Hay's collection of books bound in human skin.
Thrilling, eh?
The Brown University thriller panel will take place on November 15 at 6:30 pm at Salomon Hall, followed by a reception and book signing in Sayles Hall. Both events are free and open to the public. For more information, contact Amy Atticks (email@example.com, 401. 863.6913).

Gloria Curiel: Giving Back to the Community
Gloria Curiel has long appreciated the challenges faced by immigrants. Raised by parents who emigrated from Mexico to California to start a new life, she witnessed firsthand the difficulties presented by a language barrier and complex legislation. She realized that vital information on immigration law is not always accessible to the people it impacts most. And Curiel sought to remedy that.
To reach the masses, she created a Spanish-language television segment that provides legal advice and explains current laws. The show, which aired on the Univision network, took off and garnered a huge following. Curiel appeared twice a week on a morning news show called Primera Edición for seven years.
"Immigrants fall victim to fraud and people passing themselves off as lawyers," she said. "I knew that we had to get the correct information out there." The segment she created 12 years ago lives on today.
On top of her media work, Curiel has been practicing law with her husband, Anthony Parker, for the past 25 years. Based in Santa Monica, CA, Curiel & Parker specializes in immigration law and has focused on issues such as deportation, employment and family-law cases. Curiel is a lifeline to immigrants who contact her daily via letters, emails and phone calls. She also utilizes her access to various media platforms to encourage the public to become involved in the crafting of new legislation.
"It's important for lawyers to give back to the community because their advocacy goes so far," she said, "Helping people get access to legal minds is so important because many people can't afford a lawyer."
After leaving Univision in 2007, Curiel aimed to reach an even larger audience. So she started a weekly radio program with the same mission. Additionally, she volunteers with a group of local immigration attorneys who hold a round-table discussion on the air once a month. Listeners write in with questions, and the group offers advice.
Curiel offers support to clients who ask for help on a daily basis, but there was a time when she was the recipient of such a gift. It came in the form of Loyola's student organization, La Raza de Loyola. La Raza's goal is twofold: to increase the number of lawyers willing to work with the Latino/a community and to support fellowship among Latino/a students within the Law School.
"My fondest memory at Loyola was meeting La Raza de Loyola students and being embraced by them as soon as I walked on campus," she said. "I knew that I was never alone." She cites encouragement from her peers as critical to her personal growth. Now as an alumna, Curiel still makes an effort to stay involved with the club by attending one of its events at least once a year.
When searching for law schools, Loyola was an easy choice for Curiel. "I wanted to attend a reputable night school, since I had to work during the day to support my mother," she said. She credits Loyola's faculty with providing her the support and guidance she needed to become a successful attorney. "Loyola's professors let you know they cared."
At Loyola, Curiel developed an interest in personal injury and workers compensation and figured that her career was headed in that direction. Her interest in immigration law intensified later.
While studying for the bar exam in 1985, she met two people who altered her career path and her life. "I met an immigration attorney who was passionate about his work and everything changed," she said. He offered her a job at his firm, and the rest is history.
The second person? That would be her husband, who had just graduated from Southwestern Law School. The couple married and gave birth to a daughter, who is now a freshman at the University of Southern California.
"Loyola taught me to think like a lawyer by offering practical courses so I was ready to practice when I graduated," she said. "It made a big difference and got me to where I am now."

A warning concerning the crossdev section: The current version of crossdev, 0.9.17 (binary is called crossdev-stable!) doesn't want to compile avr-g++ at all. I don't know why, but for avr, crossdev is set to always emerge to a stage without g++ which arduino needs. Comment out STAGE= in /usr/bin/crossdev-stable line 106 and you should hopefully be fine. YMMV.

Internet Providers Persuade FCC Panel Against Cybersecurity Recommendations
WASHINGTON—Big Internet providers seem to have talked their way out of unwelcome new recommendations on cybersecurity.
An original draft of a report by an advisory panel to the Federal Communications Commission, viewed by The Wall Street Journal, endorsed a list of concrete suggestions for major telecommunications and cable companies to tackle the cybersecurity problem. Those measures—which included steps such as controlling which employees have administrative privileges on company networks—weren't backed in the final report, which was released Monday evening.
The United States Telecom Association, whose members include AT&T Inc., Verizon Communications Inc. VZ -1.63% and CenturyLink Inc., CTL -0.47% along with other industry representatives blocked a full endorsement of the list, according to advisers on the FCC panel. In their final report, members of the advisory panel agreed that they lacked consensus on how to protect U.S. telecom networks.
The development may be indicative of the tensions to come as the government looks at tougher oversight of the private sector's cybersecurity defenses. Attacks by foreign hackers led President Barack Obama to issue an executive order in February directing officials to set a cybersecurity framework for key industries. While the FCC isn't directly responsible for that effort, the series of drafts of the report by the commission panel offered a preview of how the debate over that framework could unfold.
Requiring companies to follow a checklist "is likely to be not flexible and not innovative," said Jon Banks, a senior vice president of the Telecom Association. Mr. Banks, whose group represents telecom companies, said the report "illustrates the debate between "prescriptive regulation" or something more like a "public-private partnership."
Some members of the FCC panel disagreed. "Any connection between the FCC and any statement of what needs to be done in cybersecurity appears to be poison to these companies that control the Internet," said Alan Paller, a co-chairman of the group and founder of the Sans Institute, a cybersecurity research and education institute.
Mr. Paller's organization charges for courses based on the list of controls he advocated at the commission.
Verizon and AT&T declined to comment. CenturyLink referred reporters to comments from the Telecom Association.
Many in the security and intelligence community believe Washington should set strict network security standards for major U.S. industries. Foreign hackers have already demonstrated an ability to break into the U.S. power grid and other infrastructure.
Telecommunications companies play a crucial role in cybersecurity because malicious code typically travels over their networks. Major Internet-service providers often work with federal law enforcement to combat cyberattacks.
The companies are cautious about regulation, however, arguing that government standards would be clunky and could make those carrying Internet traffic legally liable for failing to prevent cyberattacks.
The early draft of the FCC panel's report called for adoption of a specific list of cybersecurity fixes, known as the 20 critical security controls, which were developed by cyber experts in concert with the National Security Agency and others. The FCC panel also initially wanted federal regulators to push for a telecom industry group that would create a new set of cybsrecurity guidelines, according to the draft of the report.
The industry, however, viewed another organization for cybersecurity issues as a superfluous layer of bureaucracy, a telecom official said.
Although the early draft referred to "top-level" defense suggestions for the telecommunications industry, no such guidelines exist in the final document.
The FCC panel, officially known as "working group 11" of the FCC's Communications Security, Reliability and Interoperability Council III, lacks regulatory authority. The group of industry representatives and outside security experts was tasked with advising the agency on future action.
Any document that even hints at government-backed standards can make companies nervous. Many see it as the tip of the spear for future regulation. Telecom industry officials said the complexity of their operations means their networks can't simply adopt guidelines designed for all industries.
A coordinated effort by the private sector and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce last year quashed legislation that would have codified voluntary security standards. Lawmakers are already engaging in a similar battle this year as many introduce cybersecurity bills.
Jim Lewis of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, who advises the White House and lawmakers on cybersecurity, said companies have an "objection to giving more regulatory authority to an agency that they may not be comfortable with." But he said some comprehensive rules may be justified.
"A computer network is a computer network," he said. "Of course there will be sector-specific requirements, but for your basic computer stuff, this is applicable across the board."

Comment A couple different tips (Score 2) 561
I've run into this a lot; in dorms, in a house with other mates from uni, at work, and so on.
Here are some things that work for me:
- If you can afford it, noise canceling headphones are awesome. If you put yourself in a quiet place, they help a huge amount. Expensive though.
- Always have ear plugs in your bag. They are small, and you can use them in a pinch. Super good for exam situations where things are quiet anyway and you just want to block out that guy who keeps clicking his pen.
- Go to a hardware store, and find the ear protection section. For 20-40$ you should be able to find industrial grade ear protection. This works really, really well; and lasts longer than ear plugs. These are more effective than bose noise canceling headphones, but less comfy and won't play music.
Note that all of the above will only lessen the sounds around you; if you are already in a loud place, it won't make it silent. Which leads me to my next piece of advice:
Go somewhere else. I still have to do this to this day. There is a quiet, distraction free place somewhere on campus where you can go. You have to find it though. I ended up with a collection of about 6 places that were generally super quiet.
You'll also want to find places that are distraction free in other ways too (eg. a desk in a basement at the end of a hall; there was nothing there but what I brought with me, and very few people ever came by). Try to avoid populous study areas; there are other distractions there. Extra good if you can find somewhere that's not too far from a toilet for those long study sessions. If I had to walk too far to find a bathroom, it would take me 10 minutes to get there, and 90 to get back on account of interesting everything.
Music that you can't process. In my case it was chinese pop music, or very loud punk rock. Experiment with different things, you'll probably find something that your brain considers passive background noise. Note that it's not enough to simply change the language or find something without words. I'll happily hum along to classical, and I have no problem singing along to bhangra music. I'd suggest looking at pop music from other cultures, or genre's that are known to be loud and noisy.
Watch the chemicals. Getting the right amount of caffeine is a tricky balance. Obviously it keeps you awake, which is a plus. But having a hit can help sharpen your mind to the work at hand a little bit. Having too much will end up being a huge distraction.
Have a refocus point. Eventually you're mind is going to wander, I found it was helpful to have something that brought it back. Some people use excercise, or a smoke break for this. For me, I printed a little sign that I would stick at eye level that read simple "GRADUATE". Whenever my mind went, this little sign would act as a mental kick in the pants. Most times I could pull it together and get back to the task at hand. Maybe after a few breathes, or something.
Know when to quit. If it's just not working; stop. Take a break (ideally, a limited break; like having no more than three printed sheets of sudoku in your bag), or just switch tasks and come back in a bit.

By Chris Kieffer/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Andy Mullins, who has worked to improve public education in Mississippi for more than 40 years, announced on Friday he will retire as chief of staff to University of Mississippi Chancellor Dan Jones.
His retirement is effective June 30, but he will continue to teach graduate students in the university's School of Education and to lead the Mississippi Teacher Corps program.
"Andy Mullins has been untiring in his career-long commitment to education, whether as a classroom K-12 teacher, a college professor, an author, a highly-respected adviser or an innovator focused on giving Mississippians a better chance at success through better education," Jones said in a university press release.
"His career accomplishments have been truly extraordinary, but just as important has been the example he set for those who choose a career in public service. He set incredibly high goals, and he was unswerving in his commitment to achieving them."
Mullins has served as a special assistant to two governors and three state superintendents of education and has been a member of the Ole Miss administration since 1994. His career began as a school teacher at St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Jackson in 1970, and he taught for eight years before joining then-Gov. William Winter's staff in 1980 as special assistant for education.
Mullins was a member of the "Boys of Spring," a name given to Winter's staff members who helped get Mississippi's 1982 Education Reform Act passed.
"Andy Mullins is one of the most creative and visionary teachers and public servants I have ever known," Winter said in the press release. "I leaned on him heavily when we were developing the Education Reform Act of 1982 and getting it passed. He just had a special way of relating with members of the Legislature."
At Ole Miss, he has worked with three chancellors during a period of significant enrollment growth, dramatic changes in the funding of higher education and the university's biggest public event ever, the 2008 presidential debate.

Arturia Minimoog V
The Minimoog V is everything the original could have been and more, at a fraction of the price! The Minimoog V looks like the original Minimoog, and yes, it sounds like it too - minus the noise, instability and other problems associated with analog circuitry. Some may say that is the very character desired in analog synthesizers, but you just can't knock a totally pristine and clean Moog sound that's equally as fat as the original all the way up to 96kHz and 24-bit digital quality in STEREO! The Minimoog V is a software instrument for Mac and PC compatible with all standard formats (VST, DXi, Audio Units, MAS, RTAS, HTDM, and more).
Upon first impression, the Minimoog V is big! It takes up a lot of screen space, but since it is an almost exact replica of the Minimoog, you'll appreciate the size once you start twisting knobs and editing sounds. The original Minimoog was a monophonic synth with three oscillators. This version also has three oscillators but is polyphonic! You can choose from 1 through 8 and 16 or 32 voices of polyphony for each sound patch. That alone takes the famous Minimoog sound into territories the original never could go! And speaking of sound patches, the original had no memory, but there's virtually unlimited patch memory here, and the Minimoog V ships with over 400 programmed patches, many by famous artists! Patches include: Basses, Arpeggios, EFX, Keyboards, Leads, Pads, Percussion, Horns, Synths, and Template patches. The Templates are a great starting point for creating your own Leads, Pads, Basses, etc.
The front panel controls replicate the look and layout (and underlying synth architecture) of the original. There are three oscillators, each with selectable Triangular, Sawtooth, Square, Saw/Triangular, Wide Rectangular and Narrow Rectangular waveforms. Oscillator 1 has an Osc Sync switch, while Oscillators 2 and 3 have fine tune knobs. The Mixer section has On/Off switches and Level knobs for each of the three oscillators as well as the Noise Generator (white or pink) and External Stereo Audio Input.
Next stop for after the Mixer section is the famous Moog 24dB/oct lowpass filter, replicated here by Arturia to perfection! The same 6 knobs as the original: Cutoff, Emphasis (resonance), Amount, Attack time, Decay time, and Sustain time. The VCA section has the same Attack, Decay, Sustain control knobs as the original too. And like the original, that's about it for front-panel controls and functions, aside from a few other tuning and volume controls, including the built-in A-440 tone generator for 'tuning up' the Mini.
But the Minimoog V goes well beyond the capabilities of the original with more than just stereo and polyphonic capabilities and program memory. One of the cool features of the original Mini was that the front panel could be lifted up to be more perpendicular to the keyboard for easier use while playing and editing. Clicking on the Minimoog V's panel will cause it to lift up a bit too, revealing a whole new world of features the Minimoog never had, but should have: an LFO, Arpeggiator, Chorus and Delay effects, and a Modulation Matrix!
The LFO offers sine, saw up, saw down, square, noise, random, sample-and-hold modes with rate control and MIDI sync switch. The Arpeggiator has Up, Down, Random, Backwards, and Notes Played patterns adjustable over 1 to 5 octaves and 1 to 5 repeats as well as Chord Memory, adjustable Speed and MIDI sync. The Chorus offers three types with Rate, Depth and Wet/Dry controls. The Delay has independent left/right controls for both Decay Time and Feedback Amounts with MIDI sync for surprisingly animated delay effects within the stereo field. The Modulation Matrix is simple and powerful: it lets you assign 6 sources to 6 destinations, ie: assign the LFO to the VCF cutoff, or assign the Pitch Wheel to control the pitch of just Oscillator 1.
Finally, although most users will play the Minimoog V using a MIDI keyboard/controller, the virtual built-in keyboard replicates the original's 44-note keyboard with Pitch Wheel, Mod wheel, Glide, Legato, and Pitch Bend range controls. It adds stereo Send outputs too.
At just $249, the cost of the Minimoog V is much cheaper than an original almost 30 year old Minimoog as well as the newer Minimoog Voyager. On top of that, the features offered in the Minimoog V don't just replicate the original, but go way beyond it! It's hard to imagine how we used the old Minimoog when you see, and hear what Arturia has done with it!

& taught by NEMA
If you missed one of the online EMAC webinars, you can watch it online. We have a number of webinars such as the following:
The four-panel EMAC deployment brochure Being Deployed Under EMAC? What You Need to Know gives the first-responder a background in EMAC and an overview of deployment procedures.
The Preparedness Guide & Deployment Tips for State, Local, & Tribal Public Health & Medical Personnel offers information on essential actions to ensure proper EMAC implementation by the public health and medical communities.
As states consider ways to increase their disaster response/recovery resource inventories, NEMA is releasing a new report on innovations and best practices in deploying private sector and volunteer resources through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC). In partnership with the Stephenson Disaster Management Institute (SDMI), NEMA conducted a survey on these issues and received responses from 43 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Detailed follow-up interviews were conducted with 16 states. The report focuses on gaining insight into the experiences of states that have used the EMAC process to deploy private sector and volunteer resources to states with specific needs requested through EMAC. These states provided a wealth of information regarding their experiences, capabilities and concerns in deploying private sector and volunteer resources. This report provides specific examples of solutions that can be replicated in other states interested in building these capabilities.
The following documents are being released as part of the NEMA study:
NEMA would like to thank the states and territories that participated in the survey effort and a special thanks to those that agreed to follow-up interviews. NEMA also thanks SDMI for the great work they did with conducting the study and producing the report.

Google Fiber Could Be Coming Soon to Provo, Utah
That network, however, is over a decade old, so Google will have to perform upgrades and also finish building out the network to reach all the homes along the network route. There's one catch, though: the city council has to vote on it. "Our agreement with Provo isn't approved yet—it's pending a vote by the City Council scheduled for next Tuesday, April 23, and also is subject to satisfaction of additional closing conditions," reads a Google Fiber blog post. "We intend to begin network upgrades when the deal is closed."
Unless the Provo city council is insane, the measure will be approved.
Google says that customers can expect service starting late this year--which is several months sooner than Austin, Texas will get it--and it will offer all the same options that Kansas City has received--free 5Mbps Internet for 7 years, gigabit Internet for $70 a month, or gigabit Internet plus TV service for $120 a month.

It is essential for every motorbike drivers as well as passengers to be educated enough about the different ways to assure motorcycle safety. Such tips are essential to assure survival amidst possible accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that motorcyclists are 35 times more likely to die in a crash than the riders in passenger cards. It is definitely not about the skills and even not about experience. Taking ample care and observing traffic rules well can add quite a bit on the whole set of factors. Here are some simple but really helpful tips to guide us through.
1. Developing connections with the bike – This motorcycle safety tips occupies the topmost part of the list. This is the number one thing to do before testing the roads. One should know the basics in driving a motorcycle. This can be done via a training course from reputable names in the business. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation's RiderCourseSM is one of the available options in the market. Relatively cheap, these courses are aimed towards a more knowledgeable motorbike rider. One can either make use of their loaner motorbikes or bring their

The city of St. John's will pony up again for the Aquarena, with a few councillors renewing their objections.
City council voted Tuesday at its regular meeting to approve a recommendation by the city's finance committee to provide its annual $100,000 grant to the aquatic facility, which is owned by Memorial University. The grant began life as a three-year agreement for an annual $150,000 to MUN in the late '90s after the city turned the Aquarena over to the university for $1, but has become contentious as the grant is renewed each year, bringing the city's total investment to $2.7 million and counting.
Coun. Jonathan Galgay on Tuesday reiterated his objections from last week's finance committee meeting, noting the city's recent loss of tax revenue as former city-owned property, such as the Battery Hotel, has been taken over by the tax-exempt university.
"So I find it extremely difficult to turn around and give $100,000 back to the Aquarena, when in fact we've been publicly criticizing the government for not paying taxes," he said. "I would rather take that $100,000, reinvest it into our own in-house programs."
Couns. Art Puddister and Tom Hann — who ultimately suggested the city plan an "exit strategy" to withdraw the funding — also expressed concerns about the funding, but other councillors took turns defending the grant as support for a facility widely used by the public for more service than the city provides on its own.
Coun. Bernard Davis said he initially had reservations about the grant, but has come around in favour, noting the city's strong relationship with the university.
"The university didn't bring those issues on in this case. The provincial government are the ones not paying the taxation on those buildings," he said. "It just happens that the university happens to be utilizing one of those facilities."
Mayor Dennis O'Keefe was also in favour of continuing the grant.
"I think it's money well-spent, and the numbers of adults and seniors and children who avail of the excellent programs, not only the aquatic programs, but the other programs offered by that recreational facility to people who live in our city, could not be handled by ourselves, aside from the partnership with the Aquarena," said the mayor.
"So I think it is money well-invested in our people to partner with the university, to continue that operation. Could they continue without us? Sure they could. Should they? No, I don't think so. We've always prided ourselves in paying our share."
The grant was approved, with Galgay and Puddister voting no.
St. John's committees overstepping bounds, says city councillor
St. John's will undertake a comprehensive review of committee mandates, after a councillor suggested the city's environmental advisory committee is overstepping its bounds.
Coun. Tom Hann took exception at city council's regular meeting Tuesday to two recommendations from the committee, one that recommended companies involved in the new Galway development meet with the committee to discuss their plans, and another that recommended the council be regularly consulted about the design of the new Rennies River stormwater management plan.
Hann said the environmental committee is just that, advisory, and has no authority to add another step to the city's development process.
"I don't think advisory committees should add another step to the application and development process here at city hall, as we've been a year or so trying to clean that process up and make it a lot simpler for people who want to do business with city hall," said Hann. "The fact that this committee or any other committee feels they can call in anyone who's doing business with city hall, such as the Galway project. ... I don't feel that it is within the purview of any advisory committee."
The city's standing committees should be the ones meeting with developers, said Hann, adding that advisory committees can get information from city staff.
Coun. Dave Lane — chairman of the environmental advisory committee — said the committee has not been consulted enough on issues such as the Rennies River plan, and Coun. Sandy Hickman defended the expertise of the membership of the city's committees, but council voted for a review of all committee mandates and terms of reference.
City wants land-use assessment for Karwood Estates
City council voted to require Karwood Estates to prepare a land-use assessment report for a proposed apartment building and row-house project on Blackmarsh Avenue.
Karwood has applied to rezone property at 369 Blackmarsh from residential medium density and open space zones to apartment medium density to accommodate two apartment buildings — one with 32 units, the other with 60 — and 10 row houses. Once staff has reviewed the report, a public review will be held.

Pros: Great performance/price ratio; multifunctional; large number of audio input options
Cons: Not the best option for those wanting a pristine and highly-detailed sound; some crackling/distortion when using with Mac computers
I picked up a FiiO E17 when en route Germany to stay there for the 2012 Christmas period and the early days of 2013. I wanted to do some video editing work and listen to music when over there but didn't want to be without the stalwart reference quality Lavry DA10 which I didn't want to travel with on that occassion, so I decided to give the E17 a try.
Prior to owning the E17 I owned the FiiO E7, which was my first DAC and one I enjoyed very much, though wanting a more neutral sound than the E7 provided I upgraded from it. Since buying the E17 a few years after owning the E7, I was initially very impressed with the relatively more neutral-sounding E17, an all-in-one DAC/Amp with a clear overall sound and inbuilt EQ functions that I have enjoyed using, particularly when wanting more bass when listening with the HD 800
When I compared the E17 and my DA10 - a DAC/Amp costing many times the price of the E17 - the difference wasn't as night and day as I imagined it might be. The DA10 has much more high-end treble detail, which by comparison sounded a bit fuzzy on the overall less clear sounding E17 (I write this from memory as at time of writing I'm unable to use the DA10 with my laptop - more on that later in this review), but overall and considering the price of the E17, it does a great job of creating a cleaner-sounding listening experience than plugging directly into the headphone output of my laptop. The E17 also serves as a nice enhancement to my iPhone when I use the E17 as a headphone amplifier, but to be honest, when I'm out and about and listening to music I tend not to analyse the sonics of what I'm hearing and more often enjoy the music without feeling the need for a headphone amplifier as I'm happy with the level of amplification my iPhone already provides.
For Xmas 2012 I received the gift of a Sony PS3 and since returning to my place in the UK, the E17 has lived for many hours as part of my PS3/TV setup, which is currently also my main home cinema rig. Like how the E17 provides a clearer sound in relation to plugging into the headphone socket of my laptop, the E17 removes virtually all of the distortion I experienced when connecting my hi-fi amp directly to my TV, without a DAC in the audio chain. Adding the E17 to that setup has turned out to be a great value and cost-effective component contributing to a much more transparent listening experience than what I experienced when using my bookshelf hi-fi speakers and headphones without a DAC. For me, the E17 would be worth the money I paid for it if I just used it as part of my PS3 rig, but it does oh so much more.
To expand on what I wrote above, I have been unable to use my Lavry DA10 with my laptop due to snapping a headphone plug off in my laptop's headphone socket, and have been resorting to the USB-connected E17 when listening to music, editing video content, and other audio-listening-related purposes, and to be honest, since using the E17 I haven't missed my DA10 that much, though I would prefer to use the DA10 due to the enhancements in listening quality it provides. But really, considering the performance/price ratio of the E17 and what a versatile multifunctional device it is - and one with a large number of audio input options - I consider the E17 to be the best value head-fi component I have yet purchased and give it my highest recommendation to anyone (particularly those new to the 'head-fi hobby') willing to spend ~$150/£100 to investigate the benefits a great value DAC/Amp can provide.

By Tim Wildmon
Two weeks ago I wrote a column about President Obama creating separation between himself and Gov. Mitt Romney in the polls, especially in the key battleground states like Ohio, Florida and Virginia.
Two weeks ago Obama was ahead by a few percentage points in all these states. Today, he is trending behind Romney is almost all the swing states. What happened? Romney trounced Obama in the first of three presidential debates is what happened. Liberals were furious that he looked so unprepared, so lethargic and unengaged. One of my friends said midway through the evening it appeared Obama wanted to call it a day, go out back and have a cigarette.
My own take is somewhat different. I think the president had a bad night because he has fewers bullets in his gun than Barney Fife. He's got nothing to offer.
His main problem is the fact that his economic plan just simply did not work. He had two full years of absolute control of both houses of congress by the Democrats, passing any and every law they wanted. They were kids in a candy store with no adults around. And for all that power – Obama has nothing to show for it except Obamacare. And as Romney pointed out during the debate, even that legislation was ramrodded through and remains unpopular with a majority of the American people.
The only two arguments Obama can try to sell are: 1) "Trust me, I know you can't see it now, but we are getting this economy going again." 2) "Romney will take us back to the same ideas that got us into this financial mess in the first place."
Those two arguments work with about 40 percent of the public because they identify with the Democratic Party.
It was Obama himself who said when he was elected, if he could not get the economy turned around he would be a one-term president. He may turn out to be a prophet, although I would caution against making any plans for a Romney inauguration just yet. There are two debates and three weeks left in the campaign, and Obama is still not so far behind he could not catch up. But again, I don't know what he can say, even in the remaining debates, which would score a lot of points.
He can champion homosexual marriage if he wants, but every time he does so he forces African-American pastors to look in the mirror and ask themselves if they can support a man who is promoting what God is clearly against. (And Obama is counting on almost 100 percent support from black voters.) Homosexual marriage has failed in 32 of 32 states when put before the voters, most recently in North Carolina, so it's not that popular an idea with the general public anyway.
We shall see if Obama can get his groove back. But as of today, Sunday, October 14, it is Romney who seems hungrier, even more presidential, with each passing day.
