The concept of a prepared statement is that it a SQL statement that is lacking any parameters or literals and with these being replaced by placeholders. Then the statement is parsed and optimized without those values, and the placeholders are referenced to program variables. Once this is done, to execute the prepared statement, you set the program variables to the appropriate values and then execute the statement. You may change the program variables referencing the placeholder values and re-execute the SQL statement as many times as you want, without having to re-parse or optimize the statement.
The different steps then are:
- Prepare the statement - You prepare the statement with the appropriate placeholders (which are question marks), like: SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE foobar = ?
- Bind the placeholder values to program variables.
- Bind the result columns to program variables (if there are any columns returned that is).
- Set the program variables that are bound to the statement placeholder literals.
- Execute the prepared statement.
- If there are columns returned, i.e. this is a SELECT or SHOW statement for example, store the result, fetch the rows and the free the result.
- Repeat from step 4 until done.
- Free the prepared statement.
Working with prepared statement in MySQL, as in most other database systems, require a bit more work than playing with simple non-prepared statements. The prepare phase is done with the mysql_stmt_prepare() call, which use a MYSQL_STMT to keep track of the statement, and which has been initialized with a call to mysql_stmt_init().
The next step is to bind the placeholders, and this is done with a call to mysql_stmt_bind_param(), which takes the MYSQL_STMT struct as above, as well as an array of MYSQL_BIND structs, each of them referencing one bin parameter in the statement, and each to be filled in with information to the MySQL server about where the program variable is, what type it has and a pointer to an indicator of the NULL / NOT NULL status if this variable. Note that to pass a NULL, you do not pass the string NULL, which will do just that: Use the string "NULL", instead you MUST set the is_null member indicator of the MYSQL_BIND struct.
After binding parameters, you have to bind result columns, if there are any columns returned. The way this is done with the MySQL C API looks a bit awkward, but not really complicated. In essence, you call mysql_stmt_result_metadata() to get a MYSQL_RES, which is a familiar struct for any user of the classic MySQL C API, and then you use that to get any information you want on the result data from the statement.
You can nod bind the result columns, and again you use an array of MYSQL_BIND structs for this. Note that you have to pass appropriate data, like space for the returned column data and for a NULL indicator. Failure to do so will cause a segmentation fault and may in extreme cases cause really bad karma.
This was the complex part, now all you have to do is set the program variables referenced by the MYSQL_BIND array for the parameters, call mysql_stmt_execute() to execute the statement and then, if there are columns returned, call mysql_stmt_store_result() to get the result, then call mysql_stmt_fetch() to get each row, and for every row, you can look at the data referenced by the MYSQL_BIND struct array you passed for the column data. When you are done with the result, call mysql_stmt_free_result() and that's about it.
Well, to be honest, there is a bit more to it, but this is the basics. So what are the advantages? It really should be faster, as there is a lot less parsing and optimization going on, and in many database systems, using prepared statements increases performance A LOT. Not so with MySQL, probably due to the limited amount of optimization we do, and the rather basic SQL syntax we support. But there are cases where there are distinct advantages, in particular SELECTs. One reason for this is that a SELECT is usually a more complex SQL than, say, an INSERT or a SELECT (and mostly also an UPDATE), whcih means there is more to gain from limited time in the parser and optimizer. Also, a SELECT is in the same way also more complicated to optimize. I have done some simple tests, and has seen some 50% performance gain when using prepared statements with a still simple SELECT with one join. On the other hand, I have yet to see any advantages for INSERTs, but also no performance loss either, instead, I could see just about the same performance.
And are there disadvantages? Yes, I'm afraid so. For CALL statements, in/out parameters are not supported, nor is handling result sets from prepared statements. In addition, multiple statement results are not supported at all when using the prepared statement C API. Read more on the limitations in the MySQL manual.
These limitations are the worst aspects of using prepared statements, and I really hope we will be able to fix them soon.

The Undergraduate Core Curriculum: Living Responsibly in an Interdependent World
The undergraduate core curriculum at Marywood University contributes to the University's mission and goals. Its central focus is to provide a foundation for "living responsibly in a diverse and interdependent world," a central goal of the University's Mission Statement. In offering our Core Curriculum, the University fulfills its historic mission as a Catholic university and affirms its commitment to the Liberal Arts tradition.
The Core Curriculum thus helps students think critically, examine values carefully, and act responsibly; it challenges students to engage in civic responsibility in terms of social justice, unmet human needs, and empowerment of others; and it provides a context within which students can realize meaningful personal and professional lives.
To create an environment in which students can develop into fully human persons, Marywood University integrates professional programs with a general education curriculum composed of a strong liberal arts core, general electives, and competencies. Each component contributes an essential perspective to the central focus of the curriculum.
The Liberal Arts core is organized into six categories:
Category I, The First Year Experience includes UNIV 100 The New Student Seminar and ENGL 160 Composition and Rhetoric. The New Student Seminar is intended to introduce students to the University's life, culture, mission, history, traditions and focus on living responsibly in an interdependent world in addition to promoting a positive adjustment and assimilation into the University. Composition and Rhetoric (English 160) helps prepare students for college level, process-based academic writing. While teaching students to write well in various contexts is an ongoing process, ENGL 160 lays strong foundations for argumentative and inquiry-based writing by increasing rhetorical awareness and analytical skills. Through guided practice, students gain experience in using research to join ongoing academic conversations.
Category II, The Human Condition in Its Ultimate Relationships, enables students to examine the nature, purpose, and meaning of life through philosophical and religious lenses that help them to evaluate their own life position and choices. They develop their critical thinking skills, explore the religious dimension of life, and experience the free and responsible pursuit of truth, as they examine the ultimate questions that have always engaged human beings. Studies in this category supply students with a theoretical basis and a cognitive process for making ethical decisions in promoting justice, peace, and compassion in the contemporary world.
Category III, The Human Condition in the Context of the Physical Universe, is vital for fulfilling the central focus of the core. Many urgent concerns of the interdependent world are scientifically and technologically based and require knowledge and analytical skills for effective response. This Category promotes an appreciation of the natural sciences and an awareness of our dependence upon nature and a sense of stewardship in fostering the earth's resources.
Category IV, The Human Condition in Relation to Self and Social Structure, likewise provides students essential preparation for living responsibly in an interdependent world.
The Social Sciences – including Psychology, Economics, Sociology, Political Science, Anthropology, and Criminology, among others – provide students with opportunities to understand more fully the complex relations between individuals and the social order in which they find themselves.
Courses in Category V, The Human Condition in its Cultural Context, heighten students' sensitivity to human concerns and to the challenges and delights shared by persons of diverse cultures and historical periods. They foster aesthetic appreciation and the ability to communicate effectively within and outside one's own cultural group. They provide access to understanding of our partners in interdependence.
Category VI, The Human Condition in its Historical Context, provides historical contexts that enable students to think more critically and creatively about the diverse and interdependent world in which they live. Knowledge of past and contemporary societies promotes recognition of the radical interdependence of human beings and helps students respond to contemporary challenges with well-informed effectiveness.
Finally, The Human Condition in a Global Context, provides explicit opportunities for students to undertake cross-cultural comparative studies, either historical or contemporary, in order best to foster an awareness and appreciation of the pluralistic nature of contemporary society. This category has the potential to overlap and connect to all of the other categories, and it is the one category in which courses that fulfill requirements in one of the other categories may also be applied.
The total undergraduate curriculum promotes lifelong independent learning and fosters the development of creative and responsive leadership in personal and professional life. It is hoped that, as a result of their studies, students will be able to fulfill the mission of the University, learning to live responsibly in this interdependent world.
As a result of their courses in the core curriculum, students will be able to:
- Demonstrate an awareness of and respect for the religious, spiritual, and moral dimensions of life;
- Develop a critical awareness of the whole self, as well as an understanding of the complexities of human persons in diverse historical and social contexts;
- Develop and evaluate thinking through quantitative, qualitative, and scientific reasoning; problem solving; and research;
- Respond justly and with empathy to social inequity – local, regional and global;
- Demonstrate effective communication skills, including skills in a second language at an appropriate level;
- Develop an aesthetic appreciation and critical understanding of the visual and performing arts and their cultural importance.

Leaky doors
Fixing or replacing them can improve energy efficiencyBy James Dulley
Energy losses from inefficient front and back doors can account for a significant portion of your monthly utility bills. When leaky doors create drafts, people tend to set the thermostat higher. This wastes even more energy.
There are ways to improve the efficiency of old doors. But you should consider the possibility of installing new ones. The costs of some well-insulated steel and fiberglass doors, especially those for the back door without glass, are very reasonable.
Inspect before deciding
Before making a decision, carefully inspect your old doors. If they are in very bad condition, it will be difficult to improve their efficiency by a meaningful amount. First, make sure a wood door is not rotting. Then place a long straight edge across the door to see if it is badly warped.
The most common problem with metal doors is rust, not warping. Check along the bottom by the weatherstripping on either side. Rainwater tends to collect there, and it is not always painted well.
If you find small holes rusted through, they can be repaired with car body filler and then painted. First, try to determine the reason water is collecting there and correct the problem. Clean out as much rust as possible before filling.
If the doors are reasonably sound, check for air leaks. At night, have someone shine a flashlight from outdoors around the seals and check for light indoors. This will highlight significant leaks. Or carefully move a lighted match around the seals and watch for movement. Check the astragal on double doors. This is usually the raised half-round overlap where pairs of doors meet and acts as a seal between them.
Latch plates
Often with wood doors, especially ones with compression weatherstripping, the main problem is simply that the latch plate is not holding the door tightly closed against the weatherstripping.
One solution: reposition the latch plate. This will require filling in the old screw holes and drilling new ones. Chisel away some of the wood in the recess for the latch plate. Another option: install an adjustable latch plate. You may want to reposition it for summer and winter as the door and frame expand and contract from temperature and humidity.
More solutions
Steel doors should feature magnetic weatherstripping, so this is not a major issue because the weatherstripping is drawn against the door edge. Just make sure the door's edge and its paint are clean and smooth, without gaps.
Check hinges and pins. If they are worn, the door will not seal properly. Take old ones to the store to match size. Don't just buy the cheapest ones, the quality varies.
It is almost certain the seal on the bottom of the doors against the floor threshold is worn. If it is not worn, adjust the floor threshold higher. There are several height adjustment screws across the threshold, but after years of use, they may be filled in with dirt. Poke around to find them. If the seal itself is bad, there are many generic replacement seals you can install.
Another option is an add-on retractable threshold seal, effective if carpeting is on the floor by the door. The threshold seal is mounted on the inside surface of the lower door edge. When the door starts to open, a pin against the door frame is released and the seal automatically lifts to clear the carpeting. It is easy to install and adjust.

International Scholars Convene for CAL Conference on George Perkins Marsh
On May 4 and 5, 2012, the College of Arts and Letters (CAL) hosted an international, interdisciplinary conference exploring the life and works of George Perkins Marsh, a nineteenth-century naturalist and one of the first major voices in the conservation movement. The event, titled "George Perkins Marsh: An American for All Seasons," attracted scholars from the United States, Italy, Norway and England, who gathered for two days to share their original research on Marsh's unique life and extraordinary legacy.
George Perkins Marsh was a philosopher, scientist, statesman and writer who is best known today for his 1864 volume, "Man and Nature," in which he argued unequivocally that "Man has reacted upon organized and inorganic nature, and thereby modified, if not determined, the material structure of his earthly home."
Concerned about the effects of deforestation on biodiversity, Marsh was an inspired advocate for environmental conservation and responsible land management. Yet he was also a scholar of language and culture, an avid collector of antique prints, a world traveler who lived in Italy and Turkey, among other places, and a dedicated promoter of women's rights and equal access to education.
In her opening address, CAL Dean Lisa Dolling called Marsh "a philosopher's dream" for the way that he "advocated a 'democracy of science,' calling for a populace that is educated and informed enough to make responsible, conscionable decisions regarding the possible long-term effects of science and technology upon nature."
The proceedings began on the evening of May 4 with a keynote address by Dr. David Lowenthal, the world's foremost authority on Marsh and author of "George Perkins Marsh: Prophet of Conservation." In his presentation, Lowenthal portrayed Marsh as a quintessential nineteenth-century polymath, someone whose keen intellect was matched only by his insatiable curiosity.
This characterization of Marsh was reiterated throughout the presentations on the following day, in which scholars explored Marsh's insights on forestry, political economy, human rights and culture. Helena Wright of the Smithsonian Institution presented a catalogue of Marsh's collection of antique prints, which he sold to the Institute in 1849, and Per Kristian Skulberg of Norway examined the contents of Marsh's personal library, revealing the writer's fascination with early Skandinavian romanticism. Above all, the picture that emerged was of a deep thinker and restless scholar who, as presenter Lucia Ducci of the Lorenzo de'Medici Institute of Florence put it, "applied science to the world, but did so as a humanist." In this way, Marsh embodies the mission of CAL when it comes to bridging the gaps between the theoretical and the practical, and between science and the humanities.
The conference was conceived by Dolling and Professors Ed Foster and Andrew Rubenfeld, out of their shared interest in Marsh as a figure whose work remains underexplored despite its pertinence to contemporary concerns. It was coordinated by Professor Robin Hammerman, and concluded on the afternoon of May 5 with a visit to the exhibit of Turkish painter Mehmet Arpacik's paintings currently on view at S.C. Williams Library.
"It was a privilege to host this conference," Dolling said, "not only because of the high quality of the scholarship that was presented, but also for the opportunity to bring attention to the work of this great pioneer in the fields of ecological and environmental studies. Our hope is that as a result of our efforts, more people will become aware of the importance of Marsh and his work."
CAL plans to publish the conference papers in a volume due out in 2013.

Whenever I am writing a script in perl or bash, I always wish that there
was some way to have all the commands logged or output to screen. I know
there is "set -x" option to have debugging enabled, but sometimes that
seems to be too much information and I dont really need all that. So, here
is something I found recently for bash to log all the executed commands.
trap "echo $BASH_COMMAND" DEBUG
This will echo/print all the commands on the stdout.

Originated from The Accidental Genealogist in honor of National Women's History Month. March 27 prompt: Do you know the immigration story of one of your female ancestors?
In 1738 Johan Adam Dick [1709 – 1785] & his wife, Anna Ottilla Knack [1711 – 1782], left Germany for the United States. They had three daughters, Elisabeth Margretha [b 1732], Maria Christina [b 1734] and Maria Juliana [b 1736]. They were passengers on the ship Rob & Alice from Rotterdam to Philadelphia. During the voyage a fourth daughter was born. Appollonia Dick [1738 – 1791] was born at sea. Anna must have been a very strong woman to leave her home and family behind in Germany; give birth on board the ship; and set up a new home in the wilderness of Pennsylvania with her four little girls. She had three more children born in Pennsylvania.
Appollonia grew up in Pennsylvania. She married Johan Jonas Wolf in 1761 & they had ten children.

What, may you ask, has the King's Speech to do with Tea?
The gift of Tea, and its quite splendid ceremony, is that it can transcend all barriers and provide universal connections across social status & generations. When the stuttering Duke of York initially visits his prospective speech therapist, Logue offers him a cup of Tea & insists on calling him Bertie. In another charming scene when the then King & Queen visit his home, Logue has laid the table all ready with gorgeous china tea pot and cups.
The King's speech is an utterly British film about King George VI during the time of the abdication of his elder brother, King Edward VIII. It captures an iconic moment in time, when the world was turning on its axis and just about to be plunged into an almost unthinkable scenario to many, a second World War. Colin Firth, already tipped for an Oscar, is utterly brilliant as the stammering Bertie. Having seen the film, and read a few interesting reviews including the Guardian, BBC, & Mail, where Logue's Grandson shares some fascinating undiscovered papers left to him by his father, what I adored was that iconic, and quintessionally British stalwart, tea, was at its very heart.
I adored the scene when Lionel Logue first meet's the then Duke of York. The kettle in on & an offer of Tea is made!
Despite the social status of his patient, and unbeknown to any of them definitively at that point in time, soon to be the next king of England, the eccentric Lionel Logue recognises that his talent can provide the healing to lead a nation. This did not prevent the offer of and making a cup of tea while conducting his interview, completely at odds with how the Duke was used to being treated. Indeed, when a visit was made to Lionel Logue's home, the table was laid splendidly with the best china all ready for tea time, with the then Queen happily helping herself.
The scene I loved the most though was when the then Duchess of York is being driven through the foggy streets of London to seek out Lionel Logue initially.
Having exhausted conventional treatments to cure her husbands stammering, she was prepared to take great risk. It often takes a desperate situation to act, love to follow it through, courage to persuade others to take that first step, and then finally bravery to conquer your innermost & deep-seated worst fears.The Duchess provided a pseudonym, and in one of the most touching and amusing conversations in the film, Lionel asks quite innocently if her husband can avoid public speaking by doing another job. Confessing her position then, Lionel becomes aware of the huge influence and help he can offer for such a prominent individual in serious need of speech therapy.
What if you had always lived in the shadow of your elder brother, with no expectation of the throne. At a time of great peril, on the verge of another world war, what if your main role was to do the thing you most struggled with?
Colin Firth is perfect as the Duke of York, then the people's King, George VI. His portrayal of the unprecedented situation of his brother's abdication that was unfolding around him, and his rising panic but huge integrity to do the right thing was incredibly touching. The film felt intimate, and although surrounded by wealth & privilege, you felt the Duke's despair at the huge weight of responsibility, the dread & fear of his own short comings. It was clear there was not the slightest wish to be thrust into the lime light. The Queen knew the only way out was to conquer his stutter. In Logue's Diary, and in letters between them, there is a very touching description of the relationship that had developed:
April 19, 1937 – Went to Windsor.
King in grey clothes, blue stripe. Came forward with a smile: 'Hello Logue, so glad to see you. You can be of great help to me.' Went through Coronation Broadcast speech and altered it considerably. King in excellent health, a bit stiff about jaw, most anxious to do best.
April 30, 1937
Went through Coronation speech with King. When I told him he took two reputations into the box with him, he said he knew he did, that's why he was laughing. He is a good fellow and only wants careful handling.
The King's Coronation – Wednesday May 12, 1937
A car took me to the Palace at 7 o'clock. Went upstairs and found His Majesty, looking very fit after his very emotional day. We went through the speech once, at the mike, and then back to his room, where the Queen joined us, looking tired but very happy. We discussed the Coronation, particularly the solidness of the Archbishop and I told the King how we all noticed he took over the doing up of his belt. He told me that in some Coronations, the King was naked to the waist.
Kept him talking right up to the loud speakers playing the National Anthem. The Queen said 'Good Luck Bertie' and he walked right up to the mike and began (the perspiration was running down my back). He went on beautifully, a splendid voice, flexible, slight trouble with one word… he had me so worked up, that I could not talk at the end.
In a few seconds, he walked out into his passage and gave me a warm pressure of the hand as he said 'Good night Logue, I thank you very much' and the Queen did the same, her beautiful, indescribably blue eyes shining.
I said 'The greatest thing in my life your Majesty is being able to serve you'. She said 'Good Night. Thank you' and, softly, 'God Bless You'. This bought the tears to my eyes and sent me feeling like a fool. I had a whisky and soda, a silly thing to do on an empty stomach, and the whole world began to go around.
Letters between the Queen Mother and Mr Logue
Feb 20 1952
Her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth
The Queen Mother
Buckingham Palace
Your Majesty
There arrives a most wonderful letter from His Majesty on December 16th telling me all about his health and what he had gone through – unfortunately I had to go into hospital before I could reply.
The King's letter is in front of me as I write, and I cannot realise that it is the last one I shall ever receive.
Since 1926 he honoured me, by allowing me to help him with his speech, and no man ever worked as hard as he did and achieved such a grand result.
During all those years you were a tower of strength to him, and he has often told me how much he owes to you.
I have never forgotten your gracious help, to me, when my own beloved girl passed on.
I have the honour to be your Majesty's humble servant.
Lionel Logue
Feb 28 1952
Buckingham Palace
Dear Mr Logue
I am so grateful for your kind letter, and very much touched by what you write – I am indeed sorry to hear that you have been so ill, so it was most kind of you to make the effort to write to me.
I think that I know perhaps better than anyone just how much you helped the King, not only with his speech, but through that his whole life, and outlook on life. I shall always be deeply grateful to you for all you did for him. He was such a splendid person, and I don't believe that he even thought of himself at all – I did so hope that he might have been allowed a few years of comparative peace after the many anguished years he has had to battle through so bravely. But it was not to be.
I do hope that you will soon be better, and with again my heartfelt thanks, I am, yours very sincerely.
Elizabeth R

NH: To me, the most disturbing aspect is the destruction of ice on the planet. It is commonly discussed among climate scientists that the planet has a high "inertia". This means in natural climate change, there is typically a significant lag between what is happening in the atmosphere (rise in greenhouse emissions) and climate response (warming of the planet), forcing a more gradual temperature rise.

Tiny Tower Dwarf Alberta Spruce
When choosing dwarf Alberta spruce for pots, consider miniature varieties, like Tiny Tower (Picea glauca conica 'MonRon').

Movie Review
Rated R for strong violence, pervasive language, drug content and brief sexuality. One hour, 40 minutes.
Publication date: Nov. 29, 2013
Review by Tyler Hanley
Released: (2013)
British jaw-breaker Jason Statham and Palo Alto native Franco square off in a small southern town, Statham's ex-DEA agent versus Franco's meth-dealing dirtbag. And while the film periodically feels predictable and formulaic, Franco's gritty portrayal coupled with Statham's fighting skills make "Homefront" a worthwhile cinematic escape.
Phil Broker (Statham) and his young daughter, Maddy (Izabela Vidovic, outperforming her age), are living the quiet life in Louisiana. Broker's career as an undercover DEA agent was cut short following the messy bust of a drug-pedaling biker gang, and now anonymity is his greatest ally. But when Maddy puts a licking on a school bully and angers the youngster's addict mother Cassie (an almost unrecognizable Kate Bosworth), Phil gets caught in the crossfire.
Cassie turns to her ne'er-do-well brother, Gator (Franco), to put a little scare into Phil. And Gator being the area's meth-making head honcho has plenty of loathsome friends to help. To make matters worse, Gator quickly uncovers the truth about Phil's furtive past, and soon old enemies are rearing their ugly heads. Phil will have to protect his daughter and his home with every uppercut, wheel kick and arm lock he has in his arsenal.
"Homefront" presents one of the more unusual collaborations of recent memory, with Statham and Franco working off a screenplay by Rambo himself, Sylvester Stallone. Fortunately for the viewer, it all seems to work. Stallone's script (based on the novel by Chuck Logan) is sharp, and the film moves at a smooth pace. Franco is particularly good in the acting department and his presence alone seems to elevate those around him, especially Statham, who may deliver his best performance yet. And Statham continues to showcase the talents that have made him the most bankable martial-arts star of the past 15 years.
The weak link comes in the form of Winona Ryder as Gator's strung-out girlfriend. While Ryder certainly looks the part, her delivery is erratic and she doesn't immerse herself in the role with the same gusto as Franco and Bosworth.
There is a certain seediness to the happenings here, darkened by the abundance of meth use, so don't expect a blithe, uplifting tone. The bayou backdrop sparks comparisons to similar Big Easy actioners such as Jean-Claude Van Damme's "Hard Target" (1993), though "Homefront" has more in common with Patrick Swayze's family-grudge thriller "Next of Kin" (1989).
Ultimately, this unlikely teaming of Statham and Franco proves to be a clever blend of action and acting. And the production values are strong throughout, especially in the sound department, so every bone-cracking punch has a little extra emphasis.

Sold out/Deleted.
The last major studio sessions in the career of Elvis Presley have finally been gathered together for the first time in one comprehensive package as 'Elvis At Stax: Deluxe Edition'. The deluxe 3-CD box set, a 40th anniversary chronicle of a dozen nights that Presley spent at Stax Recording Studios in his hometown of Memphis in July and December 1973, will be available August 6, 2013 through RCA/Legacy, a division of 'Sony Music Entertainment'. Released simultaneously will be a single CD of highlights from the box set simply titled ELVIS AT STAX, and a 180-gram, double-vinyl LP.
'Elvis At Stax: Deluxe Edition' bristles with energy and dynamism. The proof is in the six consecutive singles that the Stax sessions produced, all of which skirted the Top 40 from 1973 to 1975. In effect, they rivaled some of the hottest streaks that Presley had charted a decade earlier.
The good news is that the outtakes (all of Disc 1 and half of Disc 2) are newly remixed, by Steve Rosenthal and Rob Santos ... The sound is outstanding, plus there is some chatter that we haven't heard before.
Review : Elvis At Stax 3-CD box
The historical significance of Presley's work at Stax is appreciated by such music scholars as Peter Guralnick, the award-winning author of Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley (1994) and Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley (1999); and producer Ernst Mikael Jørgensen, respected director of RCA's Presley catalog for over two decades, and author of the critical research guide, Elvis Presley: A Life In Music.
Ernst Jørgensen has long been concerned with doing justice to the Stax sessions, which were never acknowledged by the artist's record label RCA as a unified whole. Instead, as with most of Presley's studio work in his second decade as a recording artist, the tracks were scattered onto LPs and intermingled with material recorded in Nashville and Hollywood. The bulk of the Stax cuts showed up on Raised On Rock/For Ol' Times Sake (1973), Good Times (1974), and Promised Land (1975). For ELVIS AT STAX, many of the outtakes originated on the CD-era reissues of those three albums on Jørgensen's and co-director Roger Semon's own label, Follow That Dream (FTD) Records. ELVIS AT STAX was produced by Jørgensen, Semon, and Rob Santos.
Taking up the cause for ELVIS AT STAX is another scholar and aficionado of the artist, award-winning resident Memphis journalist Robert Gordon, who has written an in-depth, day-by-day (i.e. night-by-night) liner notes essay for the box set. Previously, Gordon and his wife Tara McAdams (author of The Elvis Handbook, 2004) co-wrote the liner notes essay for RCA/Legacy's 'From Elvis In Memphis' : Legacy Edition (2009). In addition to major biographies of Muddy Waters and Jerry Lee Lewis, Gordon is the author of two important Elvis Presley studies, 'The King on the Road: Elvis Live on Tour 1954 to 1977' (St. Martin's, 1996) and 'The Elvis Treasures' (Random House, 2002). Gordon has also written two books on the Memphis music scene, the acclaimed It Came from Memphis (Faber & Faber, 1995, foreword penned by Peter Guralnick) and the upcoming Respect Yourself: Stax Records and the Soul Explosion (Bloomsbury USA, set for publication in November 2013).
Etched in music history, 1973 was a crucial watershed year for Presley, in the wake of his return to extended concert touring in 1972, after 12 years away from the stage and 31 movies in Hollywood. His New York City concert debut was emblematic of an exciting new chapter in his career. It was chronicled last year on the RCA/Legacy deluxe 2-CD+DVD box set, Prince From Another Planet: Elvis As Recorded Live At Madison Square Garden / 40th Anniversary Edition, which captured an afternoon and an evening concert staged on June 10, 1972. His manager, Colonel Tom Parker, sought a world-class mega-event to underscore the touring, which led to the one-hour global satellite broadcast from the Honolulu International Center Arena on January 14, 1973, viewed by over one billion people around the world. That, too, was recently chronicled on the RCA/Legacy double-disc set issued this past March, Aloha From Hawaii : Legacy Edition.
The highs of 1972-'73 led Presley and Colonel Parker to accept RCA's $5.4 million offer for an outright transfer of Presley's complete back catalog. He wanted a new start, new control, and a new publishing company. But the RCA deal also called for his return to the studio and a promise for him to deliver 24 new masters, i.e. two new singles (four songs), a new pop LP (ten songs), and a new gospel LP (ten songs).
Four years earlier, in 1969, Presley had made his Memphis recording return (after a 13-year absence) at Chips Moman's American Studios. These triumphantly successful sessions had yielded a year-long string of 'comeback' hit singles: 'In the Ghetto' (#3), 'Suspicious Minds' (#1), 'Don't Cry Daddy' (#6), and 'Kentucky Rain' (#16), the last such string of major consecutive hits in his life. But by 1973, American had closed up shop, and most of its musicians had relocated to Nashville. However, Stax Studios, the launching pad of such greats as Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, Booker T. and The MGs, and Isaac Hayes was still thriving at its original 926 E. McLemore Avenue space. In fact, Isaac Hayes relinquished his studio time to accommodate Presley. Ironically, less than two years later in 1975, the Stax offices would also be closed.
Presley spent 12 days at Stax in 1973 (July 21-25 and December 10-16), and the roller coaster ride of those sessions is meticulously detailed in Gordon's liner notes. ELVIS AT STAX neatly compartmentalizes the results:

Can you learn OO programming without first having an understanding of procedural programming? Obviously, they can learn to program in an OO language like Java or Python first. But you can write Fortran in any language. My impression is that such beginning programmers write procedural code in an OO language at least at first.
But what do you think?

Improving Crawlspaces in New York Multifamily Buildings
A version of this article appears in the July/August 2006 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
July 01, 2006
Build your crawlspaces to keep energy losses to a minimum, while also keeping your pipes from freezing.
Crawlspaces were developed as an affordable foundation alternative to basements.However, cold-weather crawlspaces, such as those in New York State, present a variety of challenges: • limiting heat losses, both conductive, through the floor and walls of a crawlspace, and convective, via air flow through a crawlspace; • controlling evaporation from soil or concrete floors in a crawlspace, to reduce moisture, which can cause a variety of problems in buildings; • preventing cold floors in winter, and warm floors in summer, directly above a crawlspace; • preventing radon from traveling from the ground into a building through a crawlspace; • preventing freeze risks for piping located in a crawlspace; and • preventing the mixing of crawlspace air and house air, through leakage in ducts located in a crawlspace. During energy audits for the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA)'s Assisted Multifamily Program, energy auditors have been reluctant to recommend insulating the subfloor between ...

When looking up HINSTANCE (yes, I know what it means but I wanted to see the var tp) i see that its defined by DECLARE_HANDLE, a rather advanced macro:
Could someone take the time to explain what it means? I figured a handle would be just number (prob. Unisgned Int 32) but this is something else... ant it's not a struct with any members either..Code:#define DECLARE_HANDLE(name) struct name##__ { int unused; }; typedef struct name##__ *name

The sun is shining so of course I need to get my Barbie pink on!!! OK, so this look seems like I am covered up for winter, the gorgeous Odd Molly cable knit definitely photographs heavier than it is, but when the weather is nice, bright, but still a little chilly I love wearing knitted jumpers and jeans at the weekend – and for me spring sunshine is all about those moments when you can leave the house without a coat!!!
I was introduced to Odd Molly at an event last year, I have to be honest I hadn't heard of the Scandinavian fashion brand before, but I have really fallen in love with its contemporary boho vibe, especially the jumpers and the smock-style dresses, it really is a label all about comfort, which I love.
This coral pink Corset Sweater really caught my eye, not only for the great colour, but for the details – the front is cute with its cable knit but this beauty is all about the lace knitted tie-string to the back. It adds something a little different and it definitely makes it summer ready.
Embracing the sun and the brighter outlook with this outfit I went for my trusty Ida by Donna Ida jeans but in the ice wash, rather than my go-to dark vintage hue. I worry wearing such a light colour of denim normally, I don't have the smallest of thighs, but there is something about Donna Ida that just makes you feel and look great.
Finishing up my look are a few fun pieces of jewellery, first up is my Flamingo adorned Anna Lou of London enamel bangle, perfect when worn with a three-quarter sleeve jumper as this beauty really needs to be shown off. Then I have my beautiful butterfly necklace from Swarovski, I just love how delicate it is, and the colours really work with this jumper.
Are you a fan of a bright jumper when embracing the sun?

Descend from 40,000 feet into just about any major metropolitan airport in the United States, and patterns of the trajectory of American life over the last century become clearly visible. Old urban cores are etched out in tight grids modeled off a sheet of graph paper. Further out, all those neat lines and right angles begin their curling meander into suburbia. Sparsely populated roads loop through the countryside in an odd geometry designed around the residential real estate dream of post-war America: a cul-de-sac for every family.
"I think it's a missed opportunity when I'm flying and I can't look out the window and see what the patterns are," says Norman Garrick, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Connecticut.
This is where it's most apparent – from an airplane window – that American ideas about how to live and build communities have changed dramatically over time. For decades, families fled the dense urban grid for newer types of neighborhoods that felt safer, more private, even pastoral. Through their research, Garrick and colleague Wesley Marshall are now making the argument that we got it all wrong: We've really been designing communities that make us drive more, make us less safe, keep us disconnected from one another, and that may even make us less healthy.
"What I understand now is that the patterns of places matter enormously," Garrick says. "Even from 40,000 feet, you can tell the difference between places. It's not going to give you all the answers, but it's going to tell you an awful lot about how people live in different places, just by looking at these patterns."

Most of the oldest cities in America – not to mention the oldest capitals in Europe, or in the Roman Empire, for that matter – were laid out in neat, densely interconnected grids that enabled people to get around before cars came along. Manhattan looks like this. So does Savannah, New Haven and Washington, D.C.
These communities had what Scott Bernstein, president of the Center for Neighborhood Technology, calls "location efficiency," a rough analogue to the idea of energy efficiency that captures the extent to which your job, your grocery store and your favorite pub are all convenient to you. Around the turn of the century, U.S. cities of all sizes built thousands of miles of railway for streetcars that made the urban grid even more efficient.
"It happened everywhere, it happened brilliantly," Bernstein says, "and we threw it away."
Americans lost sight of that tightly knit model when we got into cars and began to envision something else: the Garden City. In the early 20th century, modernists decried overcrowded cities that were synonymous with pollution, slums, and poverty. They wanted to do away with unnecessary streets and give each factory worker and company man his own slice of the country. He would drive there, of course, first along a large arterial highway, then down a main thoroughfare, then a collector road, then a local street pulling into his own private driveway at the end of a cul-de-sac.
There would be no such thing as noisy and menacing through traffic because no one else had any reason to drive through. The traditional street grid, with its busy intersections and jumble of apartments, shops and restaurants, was out.
"It was addressing real problems, but it went overboard," Garrick says of the suburban model. "It took real problems and then made caricatures for solutions."
The Federal Housing Authority embraced the cul-de-sac and published technical bulletins in the 1930s that painted the urban street grid as monotonous, unsafe, and characterless. Government pamphlets literally showed illustrations of the two neighborhood designs with the words "bad" and "good" printed alongside them.
The FHA had a hand in developing tens of millions of new properties and mortgages, and its idiosyncratic design preferences evolved into regulation. From the 1950s until the late 1980s, there were almost no new housing developments in the U.S. built on a simple grid.
"You hear the idea that a lot of it was just the free market, that's what people wanted at the time," says Marshall, an assistant professor of civil engineering at the University of Colorado.
"At the same time, a lot of it was that we were starting to require these types of places along the way. It wasn't just that people wanted to live in these types of communities. It was hard for a developer to come in and build anything different from what had been done."
The FHA never put it quite this way, but what we were really doing was building communities for cars, not people. Earlier neighborhoods were literally built on a scale for the human body, with architectural embellishments at eye level and blocks and sidewalks designed for foot travel. The human measuring stick hasn't changed much over the last 200 years, and so, in theory, that model should still apply.
"That is the fundamental connection between looking back toward older methods of design," Garrick says. "We need to remember when we're designing that we're designing for humans, not for objects, and not for the movement of these objects. It's about human beings, about humans being able to get from one place to the other."

Garrick and Marshall's research into street network patterns began in Davis, California. Often cited as the most bike-friendly city in America, it has the country's highest rate – more than 16 percent – of people commuting to work on two wheels. It turns out, though, that Davis also has one of the lowest traffic fatality rates in the country, a counterintuitive discovery for traffic engineers who consider biking a riskier alternative to driving.
Inspired by Davis, Garrick and Marshall compiled data on 230,000 crashes spanning 11 years in 24 medium-sized California cities. And they began to parse and classify street patterns in a kind of taxonomy. There are networks that look like square grids and others that resemble trees, with one trunk, many branches. There are networks that have tributaries, like a river, and others that have main roads radiating out from a central hub. There are hybrids of all these, and street blocks of different lengths, and networks that have 45 intersections per square mile (like Salt Lake City) and others that have as many as 550 (Portland, Ore).
The historical trend, through, has generally moved in one direction – toward ever more creative works of geometric art.
In their California study, Garrick and Marshall eventually realized the safest cities had an element in common: They were all incorporated before 1930. Something about the way they were designed made them safer. The key wasn't necessarily that large numbers of bikers produced safer cities, but that the design elements of cities that encouraged people to bike in places like Davis were the same ones that were yielding fewer traffic fatalities.
These cities were built the old way: along those monotonous grids. In general, they didn't have fewer accidents overall, but they had far fewer deadly ones. Marshall and Garrick figured that cars (and cars with bikes) must be colliding at lower speeds on these types of street networks. At first glance such tightly interconnected communities might appear more dangerous, with cars traveling from all directions and constantly intersecting with each other. But what if such patterns actually force people to drive slower and pay more attention?
"A lot of people feel that they want to live in a cul-de-sac, they feel like it's a safer place to be," Marshall says. "The reality is yes, you're safer – if you never leave your cul-de-sac. But if you actually move around town like a normal person, your town as a whole is much more dangerous."
This is the opposite of what traffic engineers (and home buyers) have thought for decades. And it's just the beginning of what we're now starting to understand about the relative advantages of going back to the way we designed communities a century ago.
Marshall and Garrick took the same group of California cities and also examined all their minutely classified street networks for the amount of driving associated with them. On average, they found, people who live in more sparse, tree-like communities drive about 18 percent more than people who live in dense grids. And that's a conservative calculation.
This undoubtedly has to do with the fact that the grocery store, your house and your office are probably farther apart – and with less direct connections between them – if you live in a subdivision. But the difference may also have to do with the fact that people who live in gridded urban networks get in their cars less in the first place. They're able, instead, to walk, bike, or ride transit. And if they're doing that, Marshall wonders, does that mean people who live in grids are also healthier? His next study will examine that question.
What is harder to measure is the value of simply being connected – to where we want to go, but also to each other. Bernstein's location efficiency data speaks to some of this. He's even found that foreclosure hotspots tend to be focused in places with the least location efficiency – in spread-out subdivisions, where a family already stretched to the limit can go broke driving 10 miles each way for a gallon of milk.
"You make a terrible mistake if you plan a city in terms of buildings and facilities and parks," Bernstein says, "and don't look at the space that those things occupy."
In other words, at the underlying patterns: the way streets and people connect with each other. Now, what intuitively made sense to us a hundred years ago can be justified and measured in foreclosure rates, vehicle miles traveled, and traffic fatalities.
"It's ironic," Garrick says, "but the thing is the patterns that we used to use in American cities are patterns that were built over thousands of years. And there's a reason they were built that way."

FormBridge is a HTML5 forms bridge API that allows you to interact with a form. For the FormBridge API reference, see FormBridge API reference.
You can use the FormBridge API to get or set the values of form fields from the HTML page and submit the form. For example, you can use API to build a wizard-like experience.
An existing HTML application can leverage the FormBridge API to interact with a form and embed it in the HTML page. You can use following steps to set the value of a field using Form Bridge API.
For details on how to create a profile, see Creating a new Profile.
Include XFA runtime, XFA locale library, and XFA form HTML snippet in the profile renderer, design your web page, and place the form inside the web page.
For example, use the following code snippet, to create an app with two input fields and a form to demonstrate the interaction between the form and an external app.
<%@ page session="false" contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8"%><% %><%@ taglib prefix="cq" uri="http://www.day.com/taglibs/cq/1.0" %><% %><!DOCTYPE html>   <cq:include script="formRuntime.jsp"/>  <cq:include script="portalheader.jsp"/>

  <cq:include script="portalbody.jsp"/>

 <cq:include script="config.jsp"/>  <cq:include script="formBody.jsp"/> <! --To assist in page transitions -- add navigation, based on scrolling --> <cq:include script="../nav/scroll/nav_footer.jsp"/> <cq:include script="footer.jsp"/>

The line 9, contains additional JSP reference for CSS styles and JavaScript files to design the page.
The
 tag on line 18 contains the HTML snippet of the XFA form.
The page is styled into two containers: left and right. The right container has the form. The left container has two input fields and part of the external HTML page.
The following screen shot shows how the form displays in a browser.
The following is a sample script you can add to set values in a form field.
For example, if you want to set the EmployeeName using the values in the Fields First Name and Last Name, call the window.formBridge.setFieldValue function.
Similarly, you can read the value by calling window.formBridge.getFieldValue API.
$(function() { $(".input").blur(function() { window.formBridge.setFieldValue( 'xfa.form.form1.#subform[0].EmployeeName', $("#lname").val()+' '+$("#fname").val() ) }); });
