My son this morning even exclaimed, "This isn't fair!" That's when I rolled my eyes heavenward, and replied, "I don't care. Life's not fair. Get used to it."
I snorted and added, "You don't have any idea what you're talking about. You have it so easy." And they do. "I had to pick up my toys, to clean my room, to clear off the table after dinner, to feed and teach the 2 double yellow-headed and 3 double red-headed parrots how to talk, and to feed and breed the hundreds of parakeets out in the aviary. Oh, and in the summer time, that was on top of working for both my mom at her pet shop and my dad at his truck and trailer business."
[snort] And my kids complain about cleaning their rooms? Give me break!
Well, all this reminded of Pearl and Harve Pointer. You know, the beautiful Pearl (Williams) Pointer? [She was a looker, wasn't she?] I've recently been reading her account books, or day books, of the Pointer farm in Iowa from as early as 1918 through the 1940's. Man, we had nothing on Pearl. She really worked. I mean, really worked.
These books are a treasure trove of what a midwest farm was like in the 1920's, 1930's and 1940's, and I can sum it up in just one word: work.
They list all the purchases and all the sales on the farm as well as yearly inventories and loans [both given and received]. From the car they owned in the early 1920's, to the road work performed in and around their farm, to the boys' allowances and pay for work on the farm. Not to mention, what pastures different animals were placed in. It's all there. Below are some of my favorite entries:
3 Oct 1922 flour, mittens, oil, thread, meat $4.80
[Just as varied as a Walmart receipt of today.]
10 Oct 1920 Hail Insurance $20.00
5 Oct 1937 hair oil, putty .30
[Gotta slick back Harve's and the boys' hair.]
15 March 1920 buggy top $8.50
25 Jun 1924 buggy tongue $3.00
[Gotta keep the buggy in working order.]
20 Nov 1919 lime, cement, sand $5.18
20 Nov 1919 work on chimney $4.50
20 Nov 1919 Thimbles on chimney $.50
[Um. You mean they didn't just call the chimney repair dude?]
[Speaking on calling...]
3 Dec 1919 telephone rent $5.25
14 Sep 1919 paint for wagon $2.05
20 Sep 1919 weinies and liver $1.05
12 May 1920 plants and bologna $1.50
[There are a lot of entries for "weinies". Apparently they liked them. And they're cheap. And the bologna? The BEST bologana I've ever had is the bologna that's made in Iowa. I know. Iowa's known for its corn, but the bologna is their best-kept secret.]
3 Jan 1922 Lester's suit $5.00
11 Jan 1922 Harold's suit $7.08
9 Nov 1921 Shoes for girls $8.50
9 Nov 1932 Shoes for boys & hose $5.76
[There are many entries over the years for the kids' clothes, but what stands out are the school clothes and the suits. And really, nothing's changed about that, has it? Oh, and I'm pretty sure the hose were for the girls.]
20 Sep 1919 shingles for house $75.70
5 Jun 1923 wallpaper, hats etc. $10.60
15 Feb 1926 lumber for chicken house $53.00
[Um. I don't see an entry for the labor for the shingle work. S'pose they put 'em on themselves. On one page is a listing of room dimensions of the house for wallpaper. Then wallpaper was purchased here and there after that. Again, no labor listed anywhere for the wallpaper or for the chicken house.]
8 Feb 1922 Valentine $1.44
[What I wouldn't do to see that Valentine and scan it and share it with y'all...]
29 Jan 1918 bought bull of Franklin's $50
[There are a ton of animal purchases and sales over the years, as you might expect.]
23 Jan 1918 glasses $6.00
1 Feb 1918 fur coat lined $15.90
18 Feb 1918 organ $6.00
18 Sep 1924 watch repair $1.35
11 Jan 1926 Radio $102.50
[Um. I wonder whose glasses these were ~ those listed above and those pictured here. It's not clear if the glasses pictured were Pearl's, but it's suspected. This farm family was better off than others if they purchased a radio in 1926. Also, I wonder whose watch was repaired? The one pictured here was Pearl's daddy's watch [A.O. Williams].
In big handwriting the following was written on page 45:
$191.38 eggs sold in 1920. 374 2/3 number of dozens sold.Yes, eggs were sold every year, but this was a big egg-producing year for the farm. [Hm. I wonder who did all that work? *eyes big and round*]
The building and maintenance of the roads to, from, and around the farm were apparently kept up by those who owned the farms. Listings of the work done and how much it cost exist for every year for the Pointer farm. Here are a few of the entries for 1923:
Feb 15th & 16th - 1 day digging snow; 1/2 day getting dump boards
Apr 9 - 1/2 day fixing bridge
July 14 - 1/2 day get boards for culverts
July 16 - 1 day putting in culverts
July 17 - 1 day putting in culverts & getting boards
July 18 - 1/2 day putting in culverts
July 30 - 1/2 day putting in culverts
Wow. Looks like they had more culverts than they thought. And culvert work sounds like a lotta fun. And easy too. [snort]
Here's a much-needed purchase [I'm sure.]:
10 Jul 1937 lemons, ice 50 cents
[I wonder who, um, had to make the lemonade? Bet that tasted reeeaaal good.]
Well, I'm sure you get the picture. At least I do. There was a lot of work to be done back then on a farm, and probably not enough hands to do it with. I wonder what Pearl said to her kids when they said, "That's not fair. I don't wanna do any more culvert work." Yeah, me too. I'm thinkin' she told 'em something like, "Life's not fair. Get back out there and get that culvert work done."
[Note: I do believe I will make the Pointer Family Farm Daily Books required reading this summer on our trip up to Iowa for the Pointer Family Reunion ~ from a copy, of course.]

Federal appellate judges from Raleigh to Miami to Fairbanks, Alaska have ruled on cases in which they had a financial stake, a Center for Public Integrity investigation has found.
Raleigh's Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Allyson Duncan owned as much as $100,000 in Verizon stock when she sat on a 2011 panel that affirmed a lower court ruling in favor of Verizon South. A Verizon employee sued the company for "unlawful termination" after she was fired. It was one of two cases before her in which she ruled in Verizon's favor.
On a third case in 2010, Duncan sat on a panel that affirmed a district court order dismissing a plaintiff's federal civil rights lawsuit in which General Electric was named as a party. The judge's 2010 financial disclosures found that she owned General Electric stock, as part of a trust valued at up to $5 million, the Center found.
Federal judges may not sit on cases in which they have a financial interest, according to federal law. Yet the Center found more than two dozen instances where judges have ruled on cases in which they have stock or other financial holdings.
"Considering the importance of judicial integrity and avoidance of conflict of interest, I don't think it is asking too much of a judge to expect him or her to know what his or her holdings are," said William G. Ross, a Samford University law professor told the Center.
The Center examined the three most recent years of financial disclosure reports filed by 255 of the 258 judges who sit on the nation's 13 appellate circuits. Judges owned stock in a company with a case before them on 24 occasions. In two additional cases, the judges had financial ties with law firms working on the cases before them.
Duncan is one of 16 judges that have had letters sent to parties in 26 cases disclosing the financial conflict of interest. Via a letter from the clerk of the court, Duncan acknowledged the mistake that "would have required the judge's recusal." The clerk explained the judge was serving as an executor of a relative's estate at the time the case was pending. The judge sought to liquidate the account, but the Verizon stock had yet to be sold by the time she was assigned to the panel.

And I just can't wait to tell someone "The labs show you're pregnant. Or have Alzheimer's disease. Or both."
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Oh really. Ya, not so much, right?
wv: colastab I'll cut a witch if I have no Coke Zero?
I'm thinking that after nine months, drop them off two blocks from the hospital. If they find their way to the emergency department, you can pretty well rule out Alzheimers.
Hmmm...perhaps they forgot to take their birth control pills...or forgot they were a women...or both.
So we FINALLY have scientific proof that there really is 'pregnancy brain'!!!
My 85 yr old mother has Alzheimer's --- or maybe she's pregnant. EEEK! What are those old folks doing at night in the nursing home???
The bad part being that you can't remember how you got pregnant.
danielle that is -exactly- what I thought 'Oh god..scientific proof of placenta brain!'
Finally--an explanation for why my husband treated me like an incompetent moron throughout my first pregnancy. No, wait...
Either way, you're about to lose your mind.
Someone beat me to it. I now understand pregnancy brain.
wouldn't it be rather unlikely to be pregnant and have alzheimers?
"The labs show you're pregnant. Or have Alzheimer's disease. Or both. Do you remember having sex recently?"
there fixed it
Yes! I knew that "baby brain" would eventually be proven as fact!
I have to agree with the first Anonymous - funny in theory, not funny when you actually do have to tell someone s/he has Alzheimer's. We know you really do care about your patients!
In the unlikely situation that the patient in question is a fertile woman, would you just add a genuine pregnancy test to the lab test order?
"The labs show you're pregnant. Or have Alzheimer's disease. Or both." Haha this made me laugh :)
We know how hot tubs can contribute to pregnancy...but do they have a similar role in Alzheimers ?
Well that's not bad really, since you can rule out pregnancy for all your male patients and also for those female patients who are either postmenopausal or have been surgically sterilized. Just sayin'.

GET is an industrial distributor of food ingredients, baked goods, and nutritional supplements. We are commited to the promotion of food items necessary for the health and well-being. Our company theme is "Healthy Ingredients for Healthy Living."

Customers: Food products manufacturers, Funtional foods manufacturers, Nutrceutical manufacturers, Sports nutrition manufacturers, Dietary supplements manufacturers, Bakeries, Food service companies
We have this crazy idea about the word "get." Instead of branding our company as a concept in a noun form, we want the company to be known as an experience in a verb form. It is therefore intentional to have the name "get" followed by a theme phrase that captures the energy and promise of the products we promote in different ad campaigns. Currently, it is "get healthy ingredients for healthy living." You can see this exam[le in the attached company brief.
However, we do not want the name to obviously look like a shorthand for three words by typing it in all capitals (GET). Neither do we want to type "Get" to preserve proper capitalization as it wouldn't sound and feel like a name of a business entity. We think that all-small letter "get" should be the one that will hitch up the theme phrase and do it so without giving the wrong impression. Using bigger letters and different color than the theme phrase, we believe the objective is achievable. Feel free to experiment with colors that you feel achieve the goal.
For all the reasons above, no distinct symbols or images are required unless used as some sort of a background to enhance the overall feel. The key is to logorize the letters and be extremely creative in letter designs. Be bold and creative!

Challah Problem
I made my first loaf of Challah from A Blessing of Bread by Maggie Glezer. The loaf split open down the middle. I did raise the temperature accidently to 375 for about 10 minutes and returned it to 325. Could this be the reason it split open? It's moist inside and tastes great. I appreciate any feedback. thanks, Jonathan

Review: SwitchEasy Canvas for iPad mini
Company: SwitchEasy
Website: www.switcheasy.com
Models: Canvas
Price: $40
Compatible: iPad mini
SwitchEasy has impressed us with its Canvas iPad case in the past. The model for iPad 2 earned an A- rating, while the iPad 2/third-generation iPad version improved on the few faults the case had and got bumped up to a flat A. Now the company has released an edition for the iPad mini ($40), and rather than resting on its laurels, SwitchEasy kept innovating. This new Canvas has all the features we liked about the previous models -- including a nice set of pack-ins -- plus a few real improvements. It comes in black, grey, red, pink, and tan. Updated December 18, 2013 with Retina iPad mini version details.
This folio-style case uses the same combination of an edge-to-edge hard plastic shell and reinforced canvas fabric wrapped around from the back to the front, forming a lid, as the prior versions. As always, the materials don't feel cheap at all. A big difference here is the inclusion of button protection. Like with its Cover Buddy, SwitchEasy covers the Sleep/Wake and volume buttons with extended pieces of plastic. They look great, and the top button is particularly clicky—we like it. Otherwise there are well-centered holes for the headphone port, microphone, side switch, iSight camera, and Lightning port, plus small dots exposing the speakers. Canvas is just about as protective as it possibly can be, especially when the included port covers are put in place.
SwitchEasy originally used a latch to hold the lid shut against the iPad's display; it replaced that with a set of strong magnets in the last edition. The feature has been carried over to Canvas for iPad mini. Not only does the cover cling securely to the screen, it also lock and unlocks it. If moved too far up or down, this feature can be triggered unintentionally, but unlike some other cases we've tested, there's a reasonable threshold.
The most recent full-sized Canvas featured improved landscape stand functionality thanks to textured fabric lining the inside cover and plastic feet on the left edge of the case. This smaller version uses the same setup, although the system has been altered slightly. Instead of a strip of Velcro holding the case to the back panel, a 2.25 inch piece of the shell snaps away, allowing the iPad to be propped up in your desired position. It's a small difference, but one that helps make the case feel that much more premium.
Once again, Canvas is a case with high build quality, attractive looks, and very good functionality—all at a reasonable price, which is appropriately $10 less than the full-sized iPad version. The fact that the coverage has been improved only makes it better—SwitchEasy really didn't take any steps backwards with this version. Take all these factors, in addition to the included screen protector film, polishing cloth, bubble removing card, and pair each of plastic headphone and Lightning port protectors included, and there's no question that this is really a good deal. Judged strictly on its own merits, Canvas for iPad mini is certainly deserving of our high recommendation. However, we will note that there have been some issues raised regarding the long-term durability of plastic components used in prior full-sized iPad versions of Canvas, as well as warranty replacement issues for those cases. In the event that this version raises similar complaints, we may revise our rating downwards to reflect reader experiences; hopefully SwitchEasy has built this version to last.
Updated December 17, 2013: An updated version of Canvas has been released for the iPad mini with Retina display, most notably adding a second microphone hole for the newer model, and switching the color options to a new collection of pink, blue/green, and neon green tones. Identical in most other ways, and fitting both minis without an issue, we're disappointed to see that it drops button coverage, and that the lid's magnetic lock/unlocking system has a very small movement tolerance. As a result, Canvas can accidentally lock and unlock the iPad mini's screen very easily when tossed into a bag. While the original version for the iPad mini was tied for iPad Case of the Year, the revised Retina iPad mini version's rating drops markedly as a result of these changes.

I reported on the forum earlier in the week in a seperate full TN on the charms of the 2002 Leo Buring Watervale Leonay Riesling (Exceptional/95 points) - a wine that has, hopefully, started a long and illustrious second phase of its life.
Otherwise, a raid on the cellar for this weekend's visit from a good friend, paid dividends with my first bottle of the outstanding Pewsey Vale 2005 Contours Riesling - another cracker that has a long way to go but is certainly drinking extremely well now. In many ways, it reminded of the sheer class of the Leo Buring mentioned above, just without the intensity of vibrant lime juice but with more astute minerality and a delectable flintiness. I predict this Pewsey Vale will be an excellent keeper as well. 93 points
Late yesterday afternoon we opened for our house guest a magnificent bottle of German riesling - Willi Schaefer's 2007 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spatlese #12. Rendering a ridiculously good light bright straw green colour, this wine's gorgeous aromatics of crunchy green apple fruit, lime, orchard stonefruit with profoundly good tropical fruit top notes filling the olfactories. So easy to swallow with more of a kabinett lightness in weight, racy acidity and a wealth of tightly knit but refreshing fruit flavours aka the nose. Finished long, crisp and clean. 93 points 8% A/V. This wine went ever-so-well with my hors d'ouvres of smoked salmon, egg, sour cream, caper and cracked pepper on a wafer thin biscuit.
With a delightful homemade frittata (Wholegrain mustard, bacon, tomato, carrott, zucchini, onion, garlic and cheese) we enjoyed the evolving complexities of Domaine Leflaive's 2000 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon - thankfully showing no signs of premox - yellow butter colour, perplexing integrated scents and flavours of fig and green melon with subtle but entirely mesmerising worked barrel character with a delicate spine of counterbalancing acidity leading to a most attractive extended finish. 92 points.
We enjoyed fillet mignon for mains and I served my last bottle of 1979 Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste. Outstanding, as usual, excepting this bottle just lacked the added depth of fruit found in the last few bottles. Still remarkably robust for such an aged claret and worthy of 91 points.
After a most remarkable dessert of baked apple strudel and ice cream, I decantered half a bottle of the 1971 Stonyfell Metala Vintage Port - a blend of shiraz and cabernet grapes and a legend in the making. This exceptional wine continues to excel with a great depth of colour in the glass, profound aromatics of carob, chocolate, licorice, leather, sweet earth and clean spirit lift followed by a truly memorable palate staining performance with explosive but controlled flavour, imposing refined structure and a mountainous finish revealing incredible pedigree and unrelenting persistence. 96 points!

She also taught classes in floral design at both universities.Anderson will teach a topic course called Wellness in Floral Art for the 2019 spring semester at ASU. The class will focus on how flowers relieve stress and affect the senses. "It's biophilia, so we're being connected back to nature, which is where we come from," Anderson said. "Working with plants is a therapy, so not only is it a therapy for me to educate others on floral design as an art form and a stress reliever, (but) it's also awesome to see other people benefit from it." While 90 universities in the U.S. offer bachelor's degrees in horticulture, only two universities offer degrees in floral design according to The Bachelor's Portal. As a result, aspiring floral designers often select horticulture as a major.However, Anderson said an arts background is more valuable for entering the floral design field and modified her horticulture research accordingly. "When I was managing studios in San Diego and Los Angeles, the owners of the studios kept asking me to find florists that had an art background, not a plant science or horticulture background," Anderson said. "That's when I got the idea that we need (to) advocate floral design as an art form in order to have a more educated work force." Anderson also has her own business, The Flori.Culture, in which she teaches floral art classes and creates arrangements for clients. She said she has created arrangements for events hosted by large companies including Cisco and Walgreens.On the website, Anderson runs a blog called The Chlorophyll Chronicle where she discusses "flowers. food. fashion." She also has a YouTube channel, The Flori.Culture, where she shows off arrangements and gives tutorials on how to make them. "If you are interested in floral design, in the aesthetics, then you are probably also interested in food and fashion and even interior design, so I think it all goes hand-in-hand," Anderson said. [embedded content]Katherine Merveille, the owner of Merveille Floral and Design Atelier and a colleague of Anderson, said that Anderson's extensive... http://www.statepress.com/article/2018/10/spartcult-floral-art-advocate-brings-new-classes-to-asu

Dan Harwell purchased the company in 1972, and later his son, Luke, joined the business full-time in 2002 after graduating from Texas Tech University. The younger Harwell eventually took over operations of the family business. Under the new owners, some things remain the same. One fixture is the employees, including a designer who has been at Baack's for 31 years, Petre said. There also are efforts to revive some former Baack's traditions, such as a Christmas open house and growing some plants in-house, Petre said. Her brother, Marc Petre, is sprucing up the shuttered greenhouses on the property, she said. At one time, Baack's was known for cultivating poinsettias, geraniums, Easter lilies, hydrangeas and annual bedding plants, according to the Reporter-News archives. In addition to floral arrangements for all occasions, Baack's also offers the crafting and delivery of gift boxes around many themes, such as golf, fishing, hunting and tailgating. Packages also can be created for children's events, baby showers, Father's Day and other special moments, Petre said. Her goal is to use products from local wineries and chocolatiers to include with her gift options. Late bloomer Managing a flower and gift shop is a dream come true for Petre, who previously worked as a bartender for 10 years. That experience in the alcohol industry will be a plus with the addition of the wine and beer delivery with Baack's flowers and gift boxes, she said. "I've always been artistic and real artsy, and I love making things look pretty," Petre said. "I always thought that it would be so cool to be able to own a flower shop and to do that every day." Her previous creative interests include making stylish belt buckles and jewelry out of bones and antlers. She first learned about wine and beer delivery while attending a floral design workshop in Austin several months ago. "I'm 43 years old and I needed a change. I quit my job and this just kind of fell in our laps. I like to call it divine intervention," Petre said. https://www.reporternews.com/story/money/business/local/2019/01/17/new-abilene-florist-baacks-owners-adding-wine-beer-option-flower-gift-box-delivery/2548924002/

Summer at ChinaJoy: People! Show Girls! People!
The highlights of my trip to ChinaJoy in Shanghai are people, lots of people and the scorching high temperature in the city.
It was 41 degree centigrade in Shanghai during the CJ period, which was at an all-time record high. However, the heat did not stop people rushing to CJ.
The main exhibition halls are from N1 to N5. We entered into the building from Square 1, and had to march slowly in a long u-shaped queu
Summer @ ChinaJoy: The Most Distant Way in the World Is the Love between You and Me
Tencent brought about ten games to ChinaJoy this year. In my eyes, Blade and Soul would be the most expected one. How did I know? There was always a long waiting line for BS test play!
There were ten computers for players to try BS. Each player had 15 minutes to play through. When time ran up, the screen was locked. A staff came over to ask players to leave. Even the test time was so short, which could not keep players away.
What a pity that I could not make myself have a test play. I even begged a staff. He only replied:"Sorry, we have too many people who want to play BS. Please come here this afternoon or tomorrow."
I had whirled around Tencent booth many times, but still could not find someone trying the headset. Then an idea just came across. No matter which game, I had to enter into Ten...
Summer @ ChinaJoy: I Will Prepare Myself to Top Up!
Hello, MMOsiters~ I am planning to create a serial blogs about my trip to ChinaJoy 2013.
I am very excited about it. Before I start, I have to claim that I am not an English native speaker. So please forgive my poor English. If you can't understand what I write, please tell me. I really want to improve my English. Thanks a lot.
Here is my plan of CJ 2013 trip. My husband and I will leave for Shanghai on July 25. We will go for CJ for two days, 26th and 27th. Then go home at 28th.
In fact, I am not a gamer, but my husband is. Since I played in 3rd Blade and Soul CN CBT, I think I am on the road to be a big gamer. Lol, maybe it's just a daydream. I am not really good at playing games. However, I am strongly curious about game mechanics of different games and game industry's development. I beli...

How's this for spring cleaning? Scientists have discovered that a carnivorous plant deletes so much of its own junk DNA that it has hardly any left. The finding, published online in Nature, hints that such noncoding DNA may not be as important as some scientists believe.
"Junk DNA is probably well named as junk. There doesn't seem to be any glorious reason or function behind it," said Victor Albert, a University at Buffalo molecular evolutionary biologist and one of the lead authors on the study.
Only 2% of the human genome is actually made up of functional elements such as genes, according to Albert. The rest of it is non-coding DNA that doesn't appear to carry active, relevant information for that living creature's proper functioning (i.e. for building proteins).
But the carnivorous bladderwort plant, Utricularia gibba, has only about 3% junk, according to an international team of researchers -- which is unusual even by plant standards. About 97% of its code actually consists of genes -- making it a lean, mean genetic machine.
U. gibba is a feathery carnivorous plant that forms mats over water and traps single-celled organisms and tiny crustaceans in submerged, millimeter-wide bladders. It draws nutrients from those tiny carcasses in environments where the soil is often very nutrient-poor.
U. gibba's genome is already short -- it's made of 82 million base pairs, while humans have over 3 billion base pairs, Albert said. Even the basic "lab rat" of plant science, Arabidopsis, has a genetic code that's about 1.5 times as long as U. gibba's.
And yet the plant packs efficiently, stuffing all its useful genetic code into a fraction of the sprawling DNA real estate afforded other plants and animals.
Repeated segments buried in the plant's DNA show them that the entire genome has been duplicated three times since its lineage split off from its common ancestor with the tomato and the grape -- and yet this regular doubling of the code hasn't increased its length. Clearly the plant must be cutting unnecessary DNA faster than it's adding it, the researchers concluded.
The scientists aren't sure why this particular bladderwort has such a tiny, efficient genetic code. It may be pure chance, Albert said, particularly since other carnivorous plants' codes can stretch much longer.
But it does show that perhaps all that junk DNA — which some scientists have argued serves some undiscovered purpose — may be getting more credit than is due, in humans as well as plants.
"The bladderwort certainly shows that at least one plant makes a perfectly good plant without it," Albert said. "By extension, I would say it's suggestive that maybe junk DNA in general isn't of much importance."

The Missouri Department of Transportation will relocate its engineering office in Rolla to St. James by early 2013.
The Missouri Department of Transportation will relocate its engineering office in Rolla to St. James by early 2013.
According to MoDOT Area Engineer Preston Kramer, the move should be completed by the end of March.
The St. James facility, which Kramer describes as "essentially a big garage," is currently being renovated for office use. The renovation contract for the St. James facility was approximately $85,000.
"The Rolla facility is a little cramped and a little old, and most importantly, it is not ADA compliant," Kramer said. "We figured we could either fix the Rolla office or convert the garage space in St. James into office space. St. James was the cheaper option."
The MoDOT engineering office in Phelps County handles construction, traffic and right-of-way projects for an eight-county area, Kramer said.
There are currently 17 staff members in the Rolla facility, and Kramer says the move itself will be a team effort.
"After they finish converting the building, myself and the other 16 people are going to move everything to the new building," Kramer said.
Once the office has been relocated, MoDOT will sell the building in Rolla. That money will be applied to the Road and Bridge Program.
The value of the Rolla property had not been appraised as of press time Friday.

Man Who Drank 20 Red Bull & Vodkas Heart Almost Exploded
A 38 year old man has died after allegedly downing 24 cans of red bull over an 18 hour period.
The man complained of chest pains and dizziness after downing the energy drinks. He was rushed to a Chula Vista hospital but sadly died a short time later of cardiac arrest.
A disturbing video has emerged of the man in hospital, which shows his heart almost pounding out of his chest.
His death is a reminder of the dangers of consuming such caffeine laden beverages.
A number of deaths have already been blamed on drinks of its kind in the past.
France has even taken the bold move of banning energy drinks because of its high caffeine content.
Just one 24 oz can of red bull contains the equivalent caffeine of seven cans of Coke. Pretty scary!
Doctors are urging any one with heart issues or another other medical conditions to stay away from energy drinks.

As any North American BMW enthusiast knows, Bimmerfest used to be known as the largest, most popular event of its kind in the country. However, it can now only claim to be the best on the West Coast ever since the organizers established an official East Coast event.
Taking place in Aberdeen, MD in early August, it was intended to serve the large BMW community on the right-hand coastline, attracting people from the top to bottom of the country, from Maine down to Florida. And with 3911 people pre-registering 1899 cars, Bimmerfest East was in danger of dwarfing the original California event in its first year!
As it turns out, East Coast owners descending on Ripken Stadium in their thousands, greeted by up to 25 vendors offering everything from wheels to badges and all stops in between.
Inevitably, in its first year, there were several BMW tuners who wanted to gauge the success of the first show before committing to 2012, but we can assume they're already booking spots so as not to miss out next time.
In previous years, a group of enthusiasts had created their own Bimmerfest East, using the name with permission of the owners. However, that gradually faded away, replaced by this official event for 2011.
Perhaps the only problem during the day was the single food outlet, insufficiently manned by four people serving thousands of hungry attendees. Unfortunately, this aspect was out of the control of show organizer Jon Shafer and his crew, who wished to apologize for the long wait.
There were also a band of peaceful protestors on the approach road, holding banners and handing out leaflets criticizing BMW for its recalls and for alleged employee disputes.
All that aside, the vendor area was crowded with gleaming machines and desirable parts to make you drool. The bigger vendors included sponsors like Active Autowerke, Bimmerworld, Turner Motorsport and VAC Motorsports, as well as wheel companies ISS Forged and MORR.
Active was showing a 625hp supercharged E92 M3. Painted in Lamborghini's Verde Ithaca green, its the sister car to its matte grey E92 M3 displayed at Bimmerfest West by Active. In fact, both cars were painted by Joe Lapadula at Martino Auto Concepts in Glen Cove, NY, with Joe owning this green E92. The full feature on the gray car can be found in this issue (activeautowerke.com).
Meanwhile, Turner Motorsport had arrived in a caravan from its MA headquarters, led by its rare Frozen grey E92 M3 that occupied booth space alongside one of the team's Grand-Am E92 M3 racecars and the V10-eninged E30 M3 that took shape on our Garage Projects pages in the magazine (turnermotorsport.com).
Bimmerworld similarly had its impressive Grand-Am M3 plus a posse of older M3 road and racecars (bimmerworld.com).
VAC Motorsports had a cool 2002 racer in its booth but its primary focus was on tuning products, including many of its inhouse parts. With its own machine-, dyno- and race shops, the company produces everything from pulleys to pistons in addition to selling the leading brands. What's more, they claim to be selling parts into Europe, including new N54/55 cylinder heads. With the limited flow on these heads, VAC has looked at improving gas velocity with smoothed ports, polished chambers and has the option of increased chamber size as well as larger valves. They also have ring gears for the 135i/335i designed to bolt to a Quaife diff rather than the stock welded ring gears on these cars (vacmotorsports.com).
As a dealer for VF-Engineering, VAC was also showing the infamous VF E92 M3 widebody that had been driven from Los Angeles by VF owner, Nik Saran. He reported it was a great adventure and miraculously avoided getting any tickets on the journey!
We also stopped at the Bimmian booth, which appeared to be mobbed all day. Its multi-colored collection of roundels and black or carbon model badges were attracting large crowds. They can also make custom badges with a wide selection of letters and numbers to create unique designations (bimmian.com).
Despite the police presence after an impromptu burnout contest developed on the access road, the inaugural Bimmerfest East went off almost without a hitch. Everybody we spoke to enjoyed the event and looked forward to its development into a larger show that will truly represent the East Coast scene.

Until a few years ago when referring to Lotus and Formula 1 things were pretty straightforward. In my view, with the exception of Ferrari, Team Lotus were the greatest team ever to race in Formula 1. Perhaps from the statistics and race performances they were not so great, but their contribution went far beyond mere statistics. If you look at today's F1 car: many of the key features can be attributed to innovations pioneered by Lotus: monocoque chassis, the engine being a structural part of the chassis, rear mounted radiators and the use of underbody aerodynamics are some of the list. Lotus were a great team (note the underlining) and like Ferrari deserve to be remembered as playing a major role in the history of F1.
Sadly of late the name of Lotus is no longer associated with such greatness but with petty legal arguments and as a name which is for sale to the highest bidder. This is a sad state of affairs and appears to have got even more confused with the sale of Group Lotus's owner Proton, the Malaysian car manufacturer, to another Malaysian automotive operation: DRB-Hicom. This has led to the end of 'Lotus' sponsorship for the former Renault team (and before that Toleman and Benetton) who are now called Lotus F1. So perhaps this means the Lotus name will finally be allowed to bow out of this sad attempt to resuscitate the Chapman legend? It seems not, owner of Lotus F1, Genii Capital's Gerard Lopez is recently quoted "We are happy to carry the Lotus name as we believe it is a good name for F1". Actually I think the opposite, please treat the name and legacy with some respect and let it be, we've seen how great automotive brands can be destroyed by those who are simply trying to make a fast buck. If someone is going to regenerate the Lotus name we need someone like Ferrari's Luca di Montezemolo, someone who understands the care and attention needed to make an established brand live on, not those who seek to make a quick return from its sale and exploitation. It's time for everyone to move on and leave the Lotus F1 legacy in peace.

The 7 Biggest Fashion Trends of the Past 70 YearsThere are reasons some era-defining fashion trends become great Halloween costumes (poodle skirts, anyone?) while others become classics. Here, seven style hits that have withstood the test of time.
The '30s trend: LBDs
When Coco Chanel debuted the little black dress in 1926, it wasn't (shock!) an instant hit—black had previously been reserved for clergy or people in mourning. It wasn't until the Great Depression in the '30s that women saw the genius of a simple dress you could get cheap and that would never go out of style. The rest is fashion-emergency history.
The '40s trend: menswear
We can thank Katherine Hepburn for working sleek pants into the Hollywood-approved wardrobe. In masculine trousers and shirts, she proved it was possible to look glamorous and be comfortable at the same time. The newest way to wear Hepburn-esque trousers? Mix in girly stuff, like ruffled blouses, big necklaces or cocktail rings.
The '50s: pencil skirts
The best reason to adore Dior: The French designer created the pencil skirts popularized by the era's stylish First Lady, Jackie Kennedy. The silhouette still flatters all shapes—it sleek-ifies hips! it elongates legs!—making it a fashion no-brainer.
The '60s: minis
British designer Mary Quant's shorter-than-ever-before skirts captured the rebellious spirit of the decade—and quickly became a favorite of stylish young women on both sides of the pond. Though fashionable hemlines have been on a roller coaster ever since (midthigh to ankle to knee-length), a cute mini with a pair of black tights will be forever chic.
The '70s trend: platform shoes
First introduced in the '40s, the style exploded in the'70s when even men's soles soared to airy, disco-ready heights. The best of today's styles have none of that decade's unwieldy chunkiness but all the height-giving sexiness that made us love them in the first place.
The '80s trend: sexy jeans
When the hot model of the decade Brooke Shields breathily declared, "Nothing comes between me and my Calvins," jeans suddenly went from sporty weekend wear to glam wardrobe staple.
The '90s trend: minimalism
Sensory overload from the neon and Lycra of the'80s had designers in the early'90s offering sleek, neutral-tone fashions. Though other trends made a splash throughout the decade—grunge, Goth, hip-hop—it's this less-is-more vibe that's lasted.

34th Round pick Jordan (or J.J., as we have seen in some places) Jankowski has signed with the Astros, and will report to Greeneville.
In our original post on Jankowski's getting drafted, we noted some controversy from the Salisbury Post in which it seems as though Jankowski asked for his next start to be pushed back a day in order to attend a pre-draft workout. His teammates didn't appreciate that so much, and voted him off the team.
Now we have some back-story.
First, the Astros had drafted Jankowski - coincidentally - in the 34th Round in the 2008 draft following his senior year of high school. He didn't sign (of course). Last year the Astros invited him to a pre-draft workout, which he missed, and went undrafted. The Astros extended the same invitation this year, but the workout coincided with the first game of the post-season for Jankowski's Catawba College.
"I told him I'd pitch as much as he wanted me as soon as I got back. The year before, I missed the workout and didn't get drafted. He told me if I couldn't (start) when I was supposed to that I can't be on the team. I looked at this as my last shot to get drafted. I think if other players were in my shoes, 95 percent would have done the same thing."
Hard to argue...

Mayor's Office
The public is invited to view the construction and installation of a 14-foot brick arch by local sculptor Michael Morgan on the east side of N. 27th Street, just south of the Elaine Hammer Pedestrian Trail Bridge. The arch will be the focal point of an urban green space that will include landscaping, a drinking fountain, sitting boulders, a labyrinth and a bicycle tool station. Tax-increment financing funds generated by N. 27th Street improvements are paying for the project.
Morgan has been working on the installation of the arch since May 9, and neighborhood middle- and high-school students helped score, texturize and shape about 300 of the thousands of bricks used in the structure. The arch is expected to be completed by mid-June, and additional enhancements will be added by September.

2012 Police Interceptor Unveiled by Ford
Ford says this Taurus-based Police Interceptor Concept will exceed the durability, safety and performance of the Ford Crown Victoria, which is being phased out. (Ford photo)
Detroit Free Press via YellowBrix
March 13, 2010
Ford's new police car can endure a rear-end crash at 75 m.p.h., easily jump curbs and accelerate twice as fast as Ford's outgoing iconic Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.
"We hope that you will agree that Ford has succeeded in delivering the ultimate new police interceptor," Mark Fields, Ford's president of the Americas, said as he introduced the new car to a group of law enforcement officials in Las Vegas on Friday.
The new car even comes with "stab plates" to protect the driver and front-seat passenger. Police departments can order optional ballistic door panels.
"So you can see this is not a civilian product by any means," Fields said.
The new Interceptor will be built on the same structure as the Ford Taurus sedan at the company's Chicago assembly plant after production of the Crown Victoria ends in late 2011 at Ford's St. Thomas, Ontario, plant, which is to close.
Ford also said it is developing a new SUV-based police vehicle. Ford said it will provide additional details about that vehicle by the end of September.
Ken Czubay, Ford's vice president of U.S. sales and marketing, said Ford expects to maintain its market share in the police vehicle business even though competition is increasing.
Introduced in 1983, the Crown Victoria has long dominated police car sales and accounts for about 75% of the police car market with annual sales of 40,000 to 50,000.

This question was asked by John Baez in This Week's Finds in Mathematical Physics (Week 286). Therefore, please don't upvote this question (unless you really want to), but do upvote the answers.
For a CW complex (here for simplicity we'll have $\pi_1 = 0$), you can do the operation of "rationalizing", which will change its homotopy $\pi_n \to \pi_n \otimes \mathbb Q$. This works by attaching enough cylinders so that each original cell is killed, but its subdivisions are born instead.
Does there exist a similar procedure of "killing the torsion" which would change the homotopy of 1-connected CW complex from $\pi_n$ to $\pi_n/\pi_n^{tors}$?
One encounters problems if one just tries to kill off the cell: the procedure might have changed higher homology (this doesn't happen in rationalizing since cylinders are simple). So I suspect the answer is "No", but how to construct a counterexample?

'The Heat' hot at box office but 'Monsters' rule
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy brought "The Heat" against Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx at the box office.
The Fox action-comedy starring the funny ladies as mismatched detectives earned $40 million in second place in its opening weekend, topping the $25.7 million debut haul of Sony's "White House Down," according to studio estimates Sunday.
The Disney-Pixar animated prequel "Monsters University" remained box-office valedictorian in its second weekend, earning $46.1 million in first place.
As for "The Heat," employing two female leads to buck the male-dominated buddy-cop formula paid off in ticket sales.
"I think the fact that we have a female-centric movie standing out in a forest of giant tent-pole movies is phenomenal," said Chris Aronson, Fox's president of domestic distribution. "Audiences really responded. We positioned this to be a female event movie, and we got the opening that we were hoping for this weekend."
"White House Down," which features Tatum as a wannabe Secret Service agent and Foxx as the President of the United States of America, was inaugurated below expectations in fourth place. The film's White House takeover plot is strikingly similar to FilmDistrict's "Olympus Has Fallen," which opened in March and starred Gerard Butler and Aaron Eckhart.
"It turned out to be a very competitive weekend," said Rory Bruer, Sony's president of worldwide distribution. "We had hoped 'White House Down' did better, just from the standpoint that we love this film, but I feel very hopeful that with the July 4th holiday coming up, it will be the perfect film for audiences, and it'll really add up for us."
Meanwhile, Paramount's "World War Z" took another bite out of the box office in its second weekend domestically with $29.8 million. Overseas, the globe-trotting zombie thriller starring Brad Pitt cleared $70.1 million in 51 territories.
"I think the variety of films is what brought people out to the movie theaters," said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. "There's a G-rated movie at the top of the chart and an R-rated movie in second place. That says a lot about the summer marketplace and how a unique slate of films can propel the box office."
"Man of Steel" is still flying high in its third week, coming in fifth place with $20.8 million in North America and $52.2 million in such international markets as Australia, Sweden and China. The Warner Bros. retelling of Superman's origin passed the $500 million mark on Saturday.
Overall, Dergarabedian said revenue and attendance are now both down just 2 percent over last year, and this weekend's films grossed 8.5 percent less than last year when Universal's "Ted" opened with $54.4 million at the box office. He said those numbers could shift further next week when Disney's "The Lone Ranger" and Universal's "Despicable Me 2" debut.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released on Monday.
1. "Monsters University," $46.1 million ($44.2 million international).
2. "The Heat," $40 million.
3. "World War Z," $29.8 million ($70.1 million international).
4. "White House Down," $25.7 million ($6.8 million international.)
5. "Man of Steel," $20.8 million ($52.2 million international).
6. "This Is the End," $8.7 million.
7. "Now You See Me," $5.5 million ($5 million international).
8. "Fast & Furious 6," $2.4 million ($6.1 million international).
9. "Star Trek: Into Darkness," $2 million ($2 million international).
10. "The Internship," $1.4 million ($3.6 million international).
Estimated weekend ticket sales at international theaters (excluding the U.S. and Canada) for films distributed overseas by Hollywood studios, according to Rentrak:
1. "World War Z," $70.1 million.
2. "Man of Steel," $52.2 million.
3. "Monsters University," $44.2 million.
4. "Despicable Me 2," $41.5 million.
5. "The Hangover Part III," $7.7 million.
6. "Fast & Furious 6," $6.1 million.
7. "Epic," $5.1 million.
8. "Now You See Me," $5 million.
9. "The Internship," $3.6 million.
10. "The Great Gatsby," $3.3 million.

Multiphysics Software, a Versatile, Cost-Effective R&D Tool at SharpChris Brown
Sharp Laboratories of Europe, UK
There are several kinds of technology that designers at Sharp Laboratories of Europe work to create. From LED lighting, displays, and microfluidic lab-on-a-chip technology, to complex energy systems used in various devices, Sharp needed a new approach to finding the best designs. COMSOL Multiphysics and its add-on products provided the versatility to augment Sharp's research and development in many different areas.
To improve the heat dissipation and electrode design of LED lighting, Sharp used COMSOL to simulate heat dissipation. For their work on displays, Sharp turned to COMSOL to perform the local stress, fatigue and thermal analyses. When it came to lab-on-a-chip designs, Sharp investigated the interactions between particles in a fluid layer and the surrounding electronics to estimate impedances that indicate the presence or absence of particles. For energy systems, they used COMSOL Multiphysics to accurately simulate gas and liquid flows in the system in addition to thermal transfer in the solid components.
Simulation results from an LED show the surface electric potential.

A zener diode is a type of diode that acts as a voltage regulator when installed by itself or with other semiconductor devices. This device is unique because it's primarily used to conduct current under reverse bias conditions. (See Part 1 in last month's issue for description of reverse bias.) As we know, standard diodes most often conduct current in the forward bias condition; as such, they can be damaged or destroyed if the reverse voltage or bias is exceeded.
Another name for the zener diode is avalanche diode. This name is applied because the zener diode usually operates in reverse breakdown.
The basic symbol used to designate a zener diode is shown in Fig. 1. Note that this symbol differs from that of the standard diode: the normally vertical cathode line is slightly bent at each end.
How does a zener diode work?
To better understand how a zener diode works, let's refer to Fig. 2. Here we see an operating characteristic curve for a typical zener diode. Relatively speaking, a zener diode's forward and reverse characteristics are similar to those of a standard diode. There are some very important differences, however.
Forward direction source voltage. When a source voltage is applied to a zener diode in the forward direction (blue portion of curve in Fig. 2), the result is a breakover voltage and a forward current.
Reverse direction source voltage. When the source voltage is applied in the reverse direction (red portion of curve in Fig. 2), the current remains very low until the reverse voltage reaches reverse breakdown, or what is commonly called zener breakdown. At this breakdown point, a zener diode will conduct heavily, or avalanche. This is the important difference between a standard diode and a zener diode: when a zener diode conducts, it may continue to conduct for some time, and at considerable current, without damage in the reverse direction.
What's important about this characteristic? It's the voltage regulation: the voltage drop across a zener diode remains almost constant, despite the very large current fluctuations.
How is voltage regulation maintained?
The zener diode acts as a constant voltage source because of resistance changes taking place within the PN junction. (See Part 1 in last month's issue for description of PN junction.)
Let's look at Fig. 3 for a better understanding. Here we see a reverse operating characteristic curve. When a source voltage is applied in the reverse direction, the PN junction's resistance stays high; thus a reverse current only in the microampere range will be produced. As the reverse voltage is increased, however, the PN junction reaches a critical voltage and the zener diode begins avalanching.
What's happening at this particular point? Well, once the avalanche voltage is reached, the PN junction's normally high resistance drops to a low value. The current then increases rapidly, but generally is limited by a circuit resistor or resistance [R.sub.L], as shown in Fig. 4. The breakdown current usually will not destroy the zener diode; however, it may be destructive if it becomes extremely excessive or if the zener diode's heat dissipating capabilities are exceeded.
What are pertinent ratings?
As we mentioned earlier, zener diodes are designed to have a specific breakdown voltage rating, usually a close approximation of the necessary circuit control voltages. Examples include 4.7, 5.1, 6.2, and 9.1V.
Zener diodes are manufactured to certain breakdown voltage tolerances, such as [+ or -] 20%, [+ or -] 10%, or [+ or -] 5%. For high precision applications, they are available in the [+ or -] 1% range.
Zener diodes are available in wattage ratings of one millionth of a watt to 50W; popular ratings are 1W and lower. These power dissipation ratings are usually given for a specific operating temperature, which is usually an ambient of 25 [degrees] C.
Speaking of ambient temperature, this temperature will directly affect a zener diode's breakdown voltage. As such, manufacturers usually list a zener voltage temperature coefficient, which identifies the percentage of change in zener voltage per degree of temperature change. Typically this change is about 0.1% per degree Centigrade.
How are zener diodes tested?
Either a zener diode provides voltage regulation, or it fails. If it does fail, it obviously must be replaced so that the circuit can operate properly.
Sometimes, however, a zener diode may fail only in certain situations. This type of failure is called an intermittent. To check for an intermittent, the zener diode must be tested while it's in operation. Here, an oscilloscope is the best troubleshooting tool because it displays the diode's dynamic operating characteristics.
Looking at Fig. 5, we see an oscillo-scope display, with the horizontal axis representing voltage across the zener diode and the vertical axis representing current. A good test display pattern is shown on this oscilloscope display.

Yeap - last yr Panatone color of the year was Tangerine Tango - this yr it's Emerald but we have not seen as much of Emerald in anything as we did with Tangerine and the yr before with turquoise. Greens have been big but not as big as black and white. Emerald is a much more winter/holiday season color than a spring/summer which is when the Panatone shade is announced for. It's interesting how Tangerine has hung on through this yr. And yeah - I remember how tunnel vision I got during my grad school yrs...more so with my masers and less with my PhD - but both left little time for pleasure/real world - I worked in academics during that time as well, so other than clothes for my back to make me presentable for a lot of new to me events/affairs and needs to look like a Prof and not a student - (oh and no one line shopping when I got mine)...so I would run and shop at the only dept store we had and that was it for me!

"We're changing the defense quite a bit," said Bone. "It is a much more aggressive defense. We want to apply pressure on the ball, […]
NWSB Insider and Washington State Cougars basketball blogger Jordin Ereth gives us a somber reminder of what NCAA sports are all about with this piece about departing seniors Brock Motum, and Mike Ladd. While Motum started slow and developed into the threat he is today, Ladd had some promising upside before injuries took the front seat. Both will be sorely missed over at Wazzu, but with the recruits Ken Bone has in store, a winner might not be too far over the horizon.
NWSB Insider and Washington State Cougars Blogger Jeff Duncan makes a case for why Ken Bone deserves more time as WSU's head basketball coach. In his four seasons at WSU, Bone has a 70-65 overall record. That's a winning percentage of over .500. Not many Cougar head coaches can claim that after their first four years. He's also recruited talent such as Mike Ladd, DaVonte Lacey, Reggie Moore, Royce Woolridge and Demarquise Johnson
NWSB Insider and Washington State Cougars basketball blogger Jordin Ereth talks about how WSU head coach Ken Bone may not see himself as coach of the Cougs for much longer. While he has been good at bringing in talent and on the defensive side of the ball, his inability to develop the talent and bring the Cougars prominence in the Pac-12 may soon cost him.
NWSB Insider and Washington State Cougars basketball blogger Jordin Ereth discusses how WSU looks heading into the 2013 Pac 12 tournament. The Cougars ended the season as the 11th seed, fittingly facing their rivals – the Washington Huskies. Big impacts are expected this week by Dexter Kernich-Drew and Will DiIorio, both capable players but nowhere near the offensive efficiency of DaVonte Lacy and Mike Ladd.
NWSB Insider and Washington State Cougars basketball blogger Jordin Ereth discusses how WSU head coach Ken Bone is on the hot seat as the 2012-13 season starts to wind down. Bone has brought in recruits such as Reggie Moore, DaVonte Lacy and junior college transfers Mike Ladd and Faisal Aden, but production has been mediocre at best. With talent coming in next season, the team could show improvement. The question is, will Bone be around to see it?
NWSB Insider and Washington State Cougars basketball blogger Jordin Ereth talks about the month of January for the Cougars. The games have been intense, stressful, competitive, and all of the other anxiety-producing emotions under the sun. Yet the Cougars have not come out victoriously very often. The Cougars are coming off of a nail-biting win over Oregon State. Hopefully this will boost Brock Motom, DaVonte Lacy, and Mike Ladd to greater heights.
NWSB Editor and Insider Jordin Ereth reviews the first month of the Washington State Cougars basketball season. After the abysmal year from the Washington State Cougars football program, there was an aura of optimism surrounding the upcoming basketball season. One month into the 2012-2013 campaign, and the Cougars stand at 7-4. Brock Motum is the head of the pack, Mike Ladd is the biggest surprise and Royce Woolridge has the most room for improvement.

Shared bindings are the means by which named values are shared between Scheme code and C code. There are two separate tables of shared bindings, one for values defined in Scheme and accessed from C and the other for values going the other way. Shared bindings actually bind names to cells, to allow a name to be looked up before it has been assigned. This is necessary because C initialization code may be run before or after the corresponding Scheme code, depending on whether the Scheme code is in the resumed image or is run in the current session.
s48_value s48_get_imported_binding(char *name)
s48_value S48_SHARED_BINDING_REF(s48_value shared_binding)
Define-exported-binding makes
value available to C code
under as
name which must be a
string, creating a new shared
binding if necessary.
The C function
s48_get_imported_binding returns the shared binding
defined for
name, again creating it if necessary.
The C macro
S48_SHARED_BINDING_REF dereferences a shared binding,
returning its current value.
void s48_define_exported_binding(char *name, s48_value v)
These are used to define shared bindings from C and to access them from Scheme. Again, if a name is looked up before it has been defined, a new binding is created for it.
The common case of exporting a C function to Scheme can be done using
the macro
This expands into
name", s48_enter_pointer(
which boxes the function into a Scheme byte vector and then
exports it.
Note that
s48_enter_pointer allocates space in the Scheme heap
and might trigger a
garbage collection.
name (lookup-imported-binding
c-name is as supplied for the second form.
For the first form
c-name is derived from
name by
replacing `
-' with `
_' and converting letters to lowercase.
For example,
(import-definition my-foo) expands into
(define my-foo (lookup-imported-binding "my_foo"))
There are a number of other Scheme functions related to shared bindings;
these are in the structure
(shared-binding? x) -> boolean
(shared-binding-name shared-binding) -> string
(shared-binding-is-import? shared-binding) -> boolean
(shared-binding-set! shared-binding value)
(define-imported-binding string value)
(lookup-exported-binding string)
(undefine-imported-binding string)
(undefine-exported-binding string)
Shared-binding? is the predicate for shared-bindings.
Shared-binding-name returns the name of a binding.
Shared-binding-is-import? is true if the binding was defined from C.
Shared-binding-set! changes the value of a binding.
Define-imported-binding and
lookup-exported-binding are
Scheme versions of
The two
undefine- procedures remove bindings from the two tables.
They do nothing if the name is not found in the table.
The following C macros correspond to the Scheme functions above.
int S48_SHARED_BINDING_P(x)
int S48_SHARED_BINDING_IS_IMPORT_P(s48_value s_b)
s48_value S48_SHARED_BINDING_NAME(s48_value s_b)
void S48_SHARED_BINDING_SET(s48_value s_b, s48_value v)
