The Memcache client library is responsible for picking the right server to set/get data. That's why addServer is what you want to use rather than connect, when you have more than one Memcache server. A subsequent set/get will then connect on demand to the appropriate instance as needs be. Disconnection to whatever servers were connected to happening when you close or your script terminates.
Memcache instances added to your Memcache object via addServer should be added in the same order in your application to ensure that the same server is picked for use with the same key.
A client library may be implemented to run a CRC on the key and do a modulus over the number of instances in the list to select an instance from the list for the set/get. This ensures that data is spread nicely across the nodes.
That all works nicely behind the scenes for you in your PHP code, as long as you add your list of Memcache instances in a consistent manner with addServer.
(PECL memcache >= 2.0.0)
Memcache::addServer — Add a memcached server to connection pool
[, int $port
= 11211
[, bool $persistent
[, int $weight
[, int $timeout
[, int $retry_interval
[, bool $status
[, callable $failure_callback
[, int $timeoutms
]]]]]]]] )Memcache::addServer() adds a server to the connection pool. The connection, which was opened using Memcache::addServer() will be automatically closed at the end of script execution, you can also close it manually with Memcache::close(). You can also use the memcache_add_server() function.
When using this method (as opposed to Memcache::connect() and Memcache::pconnect()) the network connection is not established until actually needed. Thus there is no overhead in adding a large number of servers to the pool, even though they might not all be used.
Failover may occur at any stage in any of the methods, as long as other servers are available the request the user won't notice. Any kind of socket or Memcached server level errors (except out-of-memory) may trigger the failover. Normal client errors such as adding an existing key will not trigger a failover.
This function has been added to Memcache version 2.0.0.
Point to the host where memcached is listening for connections. This parameter may also specify other transports like unix:///path/to/memcached.sock to use UNIX domain sockets, in this case
must also be set to 0. -
Point to the port where memcached is listening for connections. Set this parameter to 0 when using UNIX domain sockets.
Please note:
defaults to memcache.default_port if not specified. For this reason it is wise to specify the port explicitly in this method call. -
Controls the use of a persistent connection. Default to
. -
Number of buckets to create for this server which in turn control its probability of it being selected. The probability is relative to the total weight of all servers.
Value in seconds which will be used for connecting to the daemon. Think twice before changing the default value of 1 second - you can lose all the advantages of caching if your connection is too slow.
Controls how often a failed server will be retried, the default value is 15 seconds. Setting this parameter to -1 disables automatic retry. Neither this nor the
parameter has any effect when the extension is loaded dynamically via dl().Each failed connection struct has its own timeout and before it has expired the struct will be skipped when selecting backends to serve a request. Once expired the connection will be successfully reconnected or marked as failed for another
seconds. The typical effect is that each web server child will retry the connection about everyretry_interval
seconds when serving a page. -
Controls if the server should be flagged as online. Setting this parameter to
to -1 allows a failed server to be kept in the pool so as not to affect the key distribution algorithm. Requests for this server will then failover or fail immediately depending on thememcache.allow_failover
setting. Default toTRUE
, meaning the server should be considered online. -
Allows the user to specify a callback function to run upon encountering an error. The callback is run before failover is attempted. The function takes two parameters, the hostname and port of the failed server.
When the port
is unspecified, this method defaults to the
value set of the PHP ini directive
If this value was changed elsewhere in your application it might lead to
unexpected results: for this reason it is wise to always specify the port
explicitly in this method call.
Return Values
Returns TRUE
on success or FALSE
on failure.
Example #1 Memcache::addServer() example
$memcache = new Memcache;
$memcache->addServer('memcache_host', 11211);
$memcache->addServer('memcache_host2', 11211);
/* procedural API */
$memcache_obj = memcache_connect('memcache_host', 11211);
memcache_add_server($memcache_obj, 'memcache_host2', 11211);
See Also
- Memcache::connect() - Open memcached server connection
- Memcache::pconnect() - Open memcached server persistent connection
- Memcache::close() - Close memcached server connection
- Memcache::setServerParams() - Changes server parameters and status at runtime
- Memcache::getServerStatus() - Returns server status
The $timeoutms argument can be used to specify the timeout in milliseconds, but isn't available in all versions. For example, it exists in php_memcache 2.2.6, but not in 3.0.4. In 2.2.6, if you specify it, then it overrides $timeout.
Caveat emptor: If $timeoutms is not specified, it defaults to the value of memcache.default_timeout_ms in php.ini, which defaults to 1000 if not set. This also overrides $timeout, which has the curious effect that $timeout is always ignored in php_memcache 2.2.6 (either in favor of $timeoutms, memcache.default_timeout_ms or the value 1000, in that order of priority).
Actually if you have two memcached servers from which one of them is on localhost, and the other is on a remote machine you can communicate with both even if you specify the loopback address for the local one.
$memcache_obj = memcache_connect("127.0.0.1", 11211);
memcache_add_server($memcache_obj, "memcache_remote_host");
$memcache_obj->set('var_key', time());
This WILL communicate with both hosts but however there are two aspects that must be taken into account:
1. the communication will be done through different network interfaces with the two hosts. It will use the loopback interface for the "127.0.0.1" host (lo in my case on Linux) and the external interface for the "memcache_remote_host" (eth0 in my case). Only if you want to use the same network interface to communicate with both hosts you must use the external IPs of both machines (and all communication will go out through the eth0 interface).
2. the connection with the two hosts will be established differently because of how memcache_connect() and memcache_add_server() work. Therefore the memcache_connect() will initiate the connection to localhost through the loopback interface when it is called, while memcache_add_server() will just add the second server to the pool, but it will not send any package through the network until it's absolutely needed (for example when a memcache_set() command is issued).
The weight of the server must be greater than 0.
If there is no memcached server to use, and you try to set/add variables, the apache will be crashed, with the error message "[notice] child pid 18725 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)" in error_log file.
There are three additional undocumented arguments to the failure callback function. The total list of failure callback arguments is:
- host
- tcp port
- udp port
- error number
- error message
We tried to file this as a bug against the documentation, but the bug report was closed because no patch was included. Please consider this note the "patch" against documentation, because we already wasted too much time on this, and it's better that people know than that people don't know.
If you are stuck with version 1.0.x (as shipped in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for instance), this is a simple way of providing failover support from a single main server to a single failover server:
$m = new Memcached();
$m->addServer(MEMBASE_HOST, MEMBASE_PORT);
// Immediately check server connection
$m->get('onlinecheck_' . uniqid());
if (in_array($m->getResultCode(), array(Memcached::RES_ERRNO, Memcached::RES_UNKNOWN_READ_FAILURE)))
// Main server not available - Failing over
$m = new Memcached();
$m->addServer(MEMBASE_FAILOVER_HOST, MEMBASE_FAILOVER_PORT);
The "version" mentioned for this function is the PECL module. To see the PECL version do phpinfo() and look at Memcache section. To see memcached (server) version: Memcache::getVersion(). You can also telnet into memcached server (eg: localhost:11211) and type 'stats' and hit enter.
An important thing to note about this is that if you have 2 memcache servers and one of those servers is your localhost that you will want to specify the external IP addresses of both of those.
$m = memcache_connect('127.0.0.1', 11211);
memcache_add_server($m, '10.5.50.20');
This will NEVER talk to 10.5.50.20.
So what you need to do is to specify the external IP address of all your servers:
$m = memcache_connect('10.5.50.10', 11211);
memcache_add_server($m, '10.5.50.20');
For some reason when the PHP memcache module does a connection to localhost it assumes that this is the ONLY memcache server and does not attempt to use others.

Comments On May 03, 2013:This OEM equivalent cast piston appears to be of good quality along with the wrist pin and piston rings. However, the wrist pin retainer circlip is poor quality. The circlip is oversized, overly stiff, and could not be installed without permanently bending it. Why bother making these parts if you mess up the easiest and cheapest component.

Comments On Sep 18, 2012:I held this piston up next to my stock piston and could not see any difference at all. (A Wiseco, by contrast, looks quite different than the stock piston on my KTM 300 XC- W 2009.) There is one problem though, the wrist pin circlip is way way harder to install than on the stock piston or on a Wiseco. I looked carefully to see why and noticed the Pro-X circlip holder was not tapered, but was squared off. This is a minute difference you would never see, untril you try to "tap the circlip" into place and it won't go. If you are really dexterious this won't be a problem but I got very aggravated and decided not to buy one again. Once in, the piston has worked fine and been very durable, now having about 2,000 miles and only slight loss of compression.

Comments On Aug 30, 2012:Bought Pro-x instead of Vertex for the first time for my KTM 144sx. Piston was installed correctly into a good cylinder, synthetic premix, good jetting, heat cycles, etc. Piston scuffed and lost all compression after 15 min of riding. Installed the old Vertex (which was in great shape after 30hours ) and have been through 2 tanks of gas with the same premix and jetting, no problems. Pro-x said lack of lubrication and will not warranty. I will never buy their products again.

Wednesday, 07 March 2001
Minister of Fisheries Pete Hodgson today released a report and summary of submissions from the "Soundings" public consultation process on the future management of marine recreational fishing.
The report, from the Ministry of Fisheries-NZ Recreational Fishing Council joint working group that ran the consultation process, outlines the key issues raised in public comments on the "Soundings" discussion document released last July.
"The consultation process has shown widespread support for change to the adminstration of marine recreational fishing, but diverse and conflicting views on what that change should be," Mr Hodgson said.
"As expected, licensing for marine recreational fishing has been roundly rejected by the fishing public. Licensing is contrary to Labour's election policy and I have no hesitation in ruling it out as an option for the future management of marine recreational fishing."
Mr Hodgson said he was pleased with the recommendations of the joint working group, which asked him to support further policy development to:
"The wide range of responses to "Soundings" tells me that defining and protecting recreational fishing rights is not going to be achieved with rapid, sweeping change," Mr Hodgson said. "Equally, the call for progress is very strong.
"From here, therefore, I intend to seek a way forward in stages. The first priority must be to improve the capacity of the recreational sector to participate in policy development and fisheries management. The public demand for that came through loud and clear.
"Other useful first steps will include finding ways to improve information on the recreational fishing catch and effort, opening new lines of communication with and between recreational fishers and Maori, and improving the procedures for resolving disputes between recreational fishers and other interests.
"I am exploring with recreational groups the possibility of setting up a ministerial advisory group to work towards those goals as a minimum.
"I am optimistic that an open and inclusive policy process will allow us to progressively secure recreational fishing rights into the future. Those rights are threatened by population, environmental and competitive pressures. We need to respond before those pressures erode the right to fish enjoyed by thousands of New Zealanders."

Editor's Note: The following is a commentary. The opinions expressed are those of the author and not necessarily the views of Women's eNews.
Many concerned citizens saw President Bush's move blocking the United States' $34 million contribution to the United Nations Population Fund last July as yet another attack on abortion. But his actions then and since have revealed a much broader anti-woman agenda, one that is threatening women's health, human rights and equality in the United States and worldwide.

A United Nations report released last week announced that women have caught up with men as far as AIDS is concerned. Half the adults affected with HIV worldwide are now women. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise. It was just a matter of time before the disease shifted from one originally affecting gay white men to one transmitted heterosexually all over the world.

Building Support for Adolescent Health Education and Services in Nigeria: Reflections from the ExperWritten By International Women's Health CoalitionWednesday, 08 May 2002
Adenike Esiet, Executive Director, AHI (Nigeria)Introduction
For Nigeria's over 24 million adolescents aged 10-19, there are several challenges that come with surviving in today's fast-changing world. The traditional norms and behavioral controls that once guided adolescence are breaking down due to several factors that include increasing poverty, rural-urban migration, and the influence of the world media. With the increasing opportunity to acquire formal education, many more young people are spending more years in school and consequently, they are getting married later, especially in the urban areas of Nigeria. -

When is the Primary runoff
Tuesday, Aug. 21, 2012.
If I voted a Democrat ballot in the July 31 primary, may I vote in the Republican runoff on Aug. 21?
No. Since the primary runoff is a continuation of the Primary election, voters who voted in the Primary must vote the same party ballot in the runoff. There is no Democratic candidates in the runoff. A voter who voted Democrat in the primary may not vote a Republican ballot in the runoff
If I voted non-partisan in the July 31 primary, may I vote in the Republican runoff on Aug. 21?
If I did not vote at all in the July 31 Primary, may I vote in the Republican runoff? Yes
I registered to vote after July 2, 2012. May I vote in the Aug. 21 runoff?
No. The voter registration deadline for the July 21 primary and Aug. 21 primary runoff was July 2 per O.C.G.A. 21-2-224(2)
On Election Day, may I vote in any precinct I want/
No. Voters are required by state election law to vote in the precinct in which the person is registered.
Can more than one person be in the same voting booth at a time? Example: can a husband be in the same booth as his wife while voting?
No. State election law prohibits more than one person in a voting booth at the same time. In the event a voter needs assistance due to a physical disability or the elector is illiterate the Oath of Assisted Elected shall be completed included the reason why the voter requires assistance per O.C.G.A. 21-2-413(3)
Will there be early voting for the Aug. 21 runoff?
There shall be a period of early voting as soon as possibly prior to the runoff. Please monitor the Polk County elections website firstname.lastname@example.com and the local media for early voting dates and times.
When will Absentee by Mail ballots be available for the Aug. 21 runoff?
Absentee by Mail ballots will be available as soon as possible. Eligible voters may apply now for an Absentee ballot. However, voters are encouraged to return voted ballots immediately to ensure delivery by the close of the polls on Aug. 21.

The sharp eyes of a doggie day care worker helps a pooch find its way back to its owners
Downtown Seattle
The city will be hiring two full-time park rangers to patrol Cal Anderson Park, as well as Occidental Square, after a string of high-profile violent crimes in recent weeks.
Fun and games at a popular arcade became anything but for two teenagers in Seattle after a gunman robbed them while they played video games, then hit one victim in the head before running for the door.
Visits from both cops and robbers couldn't sidetrack an extremely drunk couple from attempting to break into a locked building they mistakenly believed was their hotel, according to the Seattle Police Department.
A man was warned to stop hanging out with white women and threatened with death by possible skinheads during a scuffle early last Friday at Westlake Park, according to the Seattle Police Department.
Amazon.com has revealed plans to build three large greenhouse like biodomes in the midst of its proposed Denny Triangle office development.
A man learned a painful lesson about judging books by their covers last week in downtown Seattle when he was robbed by someone he thought seemed like a nice guy, according to the Seattle Police Department.
Pot-infused bacon? There's a shop for that.
A man suffered life-threatening injuries Tuesday when he was struck by a Sound Transit light rail train in Seattle's SODO District, officials said.
Cell phone video has surfaced of a brutal assault that occurred near Pike Place Market Friday night.
Two people were robbed at gunpoint while playing video games at GameWorks in downtown Seattle last week.
A drunk man was arrested last Wednesday for allegedly following a woman on the way to visit her newborn baby and yelling sexual comments, demands and threats at her.
Police believe a 34-year-old pedestrian found dead in Seattle early Sunday morning was hit and dragged by a vehicle and left for dead.
The suspects, a 19-year-old man and a 20-year-old man, were both booked into the King County Jail for felony assault for brutally beating a man in downtown on Friday night.
Seattle police are asking for help to track down eight people wanted for assault, property damage and rioting stemming from this year's May Day events.

Spring Garden Planting Tips
By: Rae Patterson
Updated: March 5, 2013
"Certain crops you're going to have to cover, whether it be with milk jugs, sheets, or some kind of protection. It'd be a great time right now to start to raise your garden, where it can be above ground," states Rusty Boucher, Joplin Greenhouse Employee.
Although it's easy to get caught up in the "pretty and pink" aisle, try going green right now.
"Spring time is a great time to plant trees, shrubs," says Boucher.
If you just can't resist the temptation to brighten your yard, add Petunias to that list. This years garden trends are organic plants and fairy gardens. With St. Patrick's Day around the corner, you can add a little luck to your gardening spread.
"For those of you with Irish blood, we do have Shamrocks," says Boucher.
Employees at The Greenhouse tell us planting seeds deep in the soil is key to a successful bloom.

This is a machinima I made for phase 3 of Make Something Unreal. I started this just 3 days before the end of phase 3 of the Make Something Unreal contest, so I tried to use some of my new skills. For the first time, I modeled something in 3ds Max and was able to get it over to Unreal Ed, and create a texture for it that actually worked. Additionally, I was able to make some custom animations this time. In fact, the only animations that I used were custom. They weren't great animations, as they were the first I've ever made, and I had little time to correct them. Additionally, I wrote my first song, even though I can't sing. It was intended to be funny. My father listened to my song for about 10 seconds before he had created a guitar part for it. He's been playing for 42 years, so it came really easily for him. After that, I called upon my friend to write a piano piece to that. He spent about 2 hours on it, and it is now in the final machinima. It turned out quite well, aside from m...

One too many 03 first rounders.
We'll see. Still a full year to worry about that.
Nevermind, Your team is gonna be scary this year!!
I hope so! I made 5 trades in the last two days to build my starting line up. I still have long-term flexibility but less assets after next year.
Wolves would be without a first for two consecutive years.

It's against the trade rules.
2004-2005 Sim League World Champion Los Angeles Lakers
it says keep 1 of your 1sts doesn't that mean one of his previous trades should of been voided
What it means is no team can go two years without having a first rounder, whether it's their pick or another teams pick.
oh ok then, i'll PM him and find a way to fix it
according to the index the Twolves still have their 2003 1st
He moved it to Los Angeles in a deal. I'm just waiting for me and you to pick before updating.
add it to the rule then please, it doesnt read that way lol
looking for a third team to make this trade legal
No three team deals.
whattt, its not a rule though ahah
What a strange Rule that is(teams being forced to have 1st round picks) hopefully busts gets on soon! This would be an easy adjustment
Post the adjustment here and send him a message to approve when he arrives. That may help expedite the process

News & Analysis
Short of a robust regulatory regime, expecting moral behavior from a corporation ...

The 'ponderous chain' that keeps jobs overseas
David Benjamin
When the editor of EBN approached me to author this column, I objected, saying, "Wait a minute. I don't know nothin' about supply chains," to which he replied that his readers are eager for variety and would be happy if I wrote about "anything BUT supply chains."
And so I have. But I have to admit that, as it keeps popping up in the news, supply-chain stuff kind of fascinates me. For example, I know that the invention of the container ship was a big deal for the supply chain, because it expanded the capacity of a single ship while automating the loading and unloading process so drastically that the word "stevedore" has slipped from the vernacular.
This vast streamlining of the trans-oceanic part of the supply chain has resulted in some amazing stories. One that received a lot of attention during the presidential election, because it involved Bain Capital (Mitt Romney's alma mater), was the shift of a sensor manufacturer named Sensata from a little plant in Freeport, Ill., to a new location somewhere in China. Bain Capital, an owner of Sensata, got a lot of bad press because it flew a crew of Chinese workers to Freeport, where the American employees — all of whom were being laid off — were compelled to train the untrained, low-wage Communists who were taking their jobs.
All this publicity, however, overlooked the terrific logistical aspects of this offshoring saga. Not only were about 100 jobs moved overseas; every important component of the manufacturing process, including machines, test equipment, office furniture — the works — were rolled into containers, trucked to the West Coast, stacked onto container ships and transported more than 7,000 miles. This is a feat once unthinkable and certainly too costly to accomplish in a past era that didn't have a supply chain so efficient as today's.
One has to simply stand back, look objectively past the human tragedy of Sensata and say, "Far out!"
Even more remarkable is that many customers for Sensata's sensors, which go into cars, RVs, airplanes, heating and air conditioning systems and mobile phone networks live right here in the U.S.A. Before its operations were moved to China, a Sensata truck driver could climb into a Dodge van and haul a half-ton of automotive sensors, switches and control devices from Freeport to the Chrysler plant over in Belvidere, Ill., in about 50 minutes — most of the trip on legendary US Route 20.
As of next year, that same shipment — now from Shanghai to Belvidere — will take… well, not being well-versed in supply-chain stuff, I really don't know how long it might take. But more than 50 minutes, I bet.
Next: Enter Marley
"The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains." There you go. See Ma, it really happens.
But the words don't hint at the numbers that cause the changes in supply chain to begin with. If the words don't support the decisions the bean-counters made, it's only because the words used aren't quantitiative enough. Look at the bottom line.
Distance between manufacturing and consumption, simply put, is not all there is to the equation. It's just one small aspect of what has to be compared.
What changed, at Apple, to cause any manufacturing to return stateside at all? As far as I can tell, only political posturing changed. They still want this super cheap and mostly manual manufacturing process, because they still need/want to be able to change their product design quickly. Without paying the price that would have to be paid with a highly automated manufacturing facility. Any of that changed suddenly? I mean, or is Foxconn quoting much higher costs to Apple, to cause this change of heart? Doubtful.
The macroeconomic tradeoff arguments, e.g. other related support jobs in the region that are created if manufacturing stays home, are NOT Apple's concern. Companies deal in a microeconomic reality. That's how they survive until tomorrow.
u missed sth here.
sensata definitly got customer in china as well,
by moving to china it can serve it's chinese customers better which is a plus you forget to mention.
Just as chinese made Fender guitars, many of them sold locally.
For those of you without any time in business school (my minor while getting my EE masters), let me clarify a few things about business decisions:
1. Management types are especially prone to fads, mainly because many of their decisions are only partially quantifiable.
2. Offshoring, in particular, seemed like a great idea when gas was extremely cheap, chinese labor rates were extremely low, design cycles were extremely long, all businesses were thought to operate in a strict hierarchal manner (similar to the military or IBM in the 1950's), and all manufacturing that had to be done was transplanting well-worn processes from US soil to Chinese.
3. So, in regards to Bert's question "What changed...to cause any manufacturing to return stateside...?" I would provide the obvious answer: the entire world has changed. Every single justification for outsourcing manufacturing to China initially is no longer valid. Perhaps there are newer justifications for continuing to outsource, but I'm not aware of any yet.
4. Moreover, we're not where we were in 1985. We need to come up with new manufacturing processes, and provide a feedback loop to the designers to improve the product. Very hard to do across the ocean.
5. Moreover, businesses don't operate the way they used to. IBM-style command-and-control structures have given way to Scrum and Extreme Programming reiterative styles. Constant feedback and reiteration is becoming the norm, and this requires quick and meaningful feedback to make work.
6. Moreover, six weeks in a container ship probably works for a white goods with a five-year lifecycle, but surely doesn't work for cellphones with a six month lifecycle.
7. And, finally, we starting to enter an era of cheap, ubiquitous, and easy to program robots, which will render labor costs largely moot, anyway.
First, I think you're forgetting that the Apple decision to bring SOME manufacturing back stateside is merely a token gesture. It's not for iPads or iPhones, for example. So clearly, not that much has changed in the cost equations they see, at any rate. It was some undisclosed fraction of high-end Macs. Hardly their bread and butter.
And sure, in time costs change. No one is denying that. The simple fact is, the article did not discuss the numbers at all. What motivates companies is always going to be to minimize costs and maximize revenues.
The distance traveled by products to US markets in particular is hardly all there is to this. For one, the US is not the only market in the world. For another, if it's cheaper in spite of transportation costs, it's still cheaper. So look at the numbers, at why it's cheaper, at the state of the art in automated manufacturing, and so on, using real numbers, so the real tradeoffs can be seen.
Oh, for sure US insourcing isn't the only answer. Supply chains are like elephants: slow to start up, slow to change direction, and very slow to stop. Momentum alone will keep manufacturing going in China for at least the next half decade. After that, a lion's share of manufacturing will go to even cheaper Asian countries, but some will come back to the US.
For Apple, in particular, I believe that Tim Cook has drunk too much of the China Kool-Aid and IS only insourcing for PR.
But I also think it's obvious that an increasing amount of people view synergistic local manufacturing enabled by cheap ubiquitous robotics as the New, New Thing.
"What motivates companies is always going to be to minimize costs and maximize revenues."
And that virtually always involves:
1: Finding ways to externalize costs such as pollution
2: Finding ways to pay less than living wages, so that your workers's basic needs have to be subsidized by government
3: Finding ways to buy regulations favorable to you and bad for your competition
4: Finding ways to latch onto the government teat directly by demanding cash or other goodies for not moving just across the border
And btw, "companies" do not have motivations. Managers do. And what motivates them is grabbing as much money as they can, as fast as they can. This often has only minimal connection of what is in the best interest of the company they are running, which in turn has little connection to what is best for society due to the all of the reasons I mentioned above.
There is precisely zero reason to believe that managers' decisions and society-wide optimization are at all related, given all of the failures of free market theory that lie between them.
Companies HAVE to operate that way, in order to stay afloat. So the trick is for governments to carefully fine-tune their tax policies and regulations, including regs on pullution.
Managers have exactly the same motivations as anyone else in the work force (even though many are clueless about what they manage). They need to show results to their bosses, no different from what any other employee has to do.
"Society-wide optimization," aka macroeconomic considerations, cannot possibly be something your corporate managers can address, if they care to remain employed. At best, the top execs might utter nice-sounding platitudes along those lines, for the politicans' benefit.
Macro is government's job.
"Macro is government's job."
I agree with that, yet I'm guessing the OP's intent was to highlight that free markets don't optimize for societal well being as many on the right proclaim. Free markets optimize profit, anything else they do is purely collateral.
"Companies HAVE to operate that way, in order to stay afloat"
I agree. The very structure of corporations requires that they be both traitors and sociopaths. That is why we need to watch them like a hawk and regulate them every which way to Sunday.
The differences between management and front-line workers is that for managers, there are lots more opportunities to loot the company at investor's expense. What can I do as a grunt worker? Steal a few pens? I certainly can't pump my bonus by a few million by fudging some numbers and hiding the risks I am taking.
I am sure that when you read Wealth of Nations, you noted how dead-set Adam Smith was against the very idea of joint-stock corporations, precisely because of the large amount of moral hazard that corporate executives embody. Indeed, that is why Britain banned corporations for many decades.
You are right. Macro is the government's job. And that usually means holding corporations and their bad behaviors in check.
Short of a robust regulatory regime, expecting moral behavior from a corporation is naive. A corporation is an amoral tool designed for one purpose: to extract value for the shareholders. Which is not to say that corporations don't have a purpose in the broader context of society; they simply need to be regulated to fit that purpose.
Those espousing "deregulation" or "ethical business practices" are either fools or liars: there can be no such thing.
True.I can`t imagine a US site that would allow a plant full of aluminum dust that explodes.Didn`t I read that the owners of that plant in China when confrounted by the local government,packed up the factory on trucks and moved it a couple hundred miles to another jurisdiction.
Thing about robots seems to be that the companys that are getting the jump on this are those that are flush with cash and orders. We sent our fabs overseas to shave costs.This next round we might just plain be behind the curve.
to bring manufacture back to US.
1 thing you all can do is build a singapore style industry area. (call it thrifty city etc.)
where ppl comute with public transportation, live in high rise...
US walmart employees are striking since they can't pay for their lunch with their $1800 monthly salary, this is the true problem.
And what Foxconn may do for Apple in the U.S. as well? :)
I enjoyed this article. It gives food for thought on why things are done the way they are, how and why trends develop, and how long they last. It only takes one company to realize there might be a better way or place to build a mousetrap, and the whole thing comes to a screeching halt and changes direction.
Maybe that would be a good EETimes contest: design an improved digital mousetrap. What components will you use? What country will you build it in (hopefully a country with a large mouse population)?
The jobs which require human inputs which can be reasonably faithfully reproduced after the first time will always find its way to the cheapest part of the world where it can be done. It's all about realizing cost cutting by volume. It works whatever others might feel with most of the rest of the world living of about a dollar a day it works mightily and will for many more years to come. A strategic shift is the only answer and companies which utilize that means will not need to offshore but are there any so far..
Don Scansen
It was a treat to see your writing on EE Times. I look forward to lots more.
Happy New Year.

Harrogate schools to use drama to tackle teenage drinking
12 June 2012
"Schools in North Yorkshire are piloting a theatre scheme which aims to educate teenagers about the dangers of alcohol.
Harrogate has one of the highest levels of alcohol-related hospital admissions for under 18s in Yorkshire, according to the Centre for Public Health.
The play, by Bryan Bounds, is about the life of Bill Wilson the found of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Mr Bounds said the drama allowed students to learn about alcoholism and its destructive effects.
'Growing concern'
My Name is Bill, which is performed by Mr Bounds, the founder of the Leeds-based Amerrycan Theatre, was shown to critical praise at the Edinburgh Fringe and has been adapted for use in education.
Mr Bounds, himself a recovering alcoholic, said: "I've watched with growing concern about how alcohol has become such a big issue for young people.
"A lot of alcohol education is quite patronising and condescending but students are very switched on, very sophisticated."
The Centre for Public Health said Harrogate was second only to Wakefield in Yorkshire for alcohol-related hospital admissions for under 18s.
The drama is being shown to Year 12 students at Ashville College and St Aiden's School.
Marion Farrar, business liaison officer at St Aiden's School, said: "I think young people see alcohol as a norm these days which is a worrying trend.
"It is becoming more and more what you do on a night out as a matter of rite."
They might as well put up posters in the school about AA. I wonder if they also said that many courts around the world have ruled that AA or a religious organization and that there are safety concerns because meetings are not monitored?
Thanks for posting this. Not everyone will have your experience of AA.
These students will be offered a chance to see what Alcoholism can do to a persons life. They will see there is help, if they don't like AA then will then know they can google alternative recovery programs.
As we have learned here many moved on from AA to other programs.
Maybe you should send a letter or email to this institution suggesting they also offer alternatives to AA.

Unfortunately, watching the propaganda of Bill Wilson chanters will not get them to see anything but the growth of the cult of Alcoholics Anonymous and how to convert people to the AA religion. If they want to use the cult to scare people out of drinking all they really have to do is tell them the cult may catch them, and then send them to the Orange Papers Forum to see the more fanatical apologetic cult members of AA and their devious tactics of attempts at manipulation. These people are extremely easy to spot and the 2.5 million hits a month is making sure that they are being exposed.
fellowship they have become "converted atheists" and have found a Higher Power of their choosing.....
"Tradition 10 - Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy." Please follow orders from the Interchurch Center if you are an AA member and don't comment.
All the literature is self explanatory, I don't believe there are lies or malicious manipulations written within.
Why would the original alcoholics lie, Avogadno? I mean it is the mid 1930's and a 100 people are gathered to write a book to help others. What is the motivation? How could you get a 100 people to agree to lie?
Jeesh, I understand you have problems with AA but to accuse them of lying id preposterous.
"The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends."

Shirley MacLaine
You parrot a false claim Danny. There were no first 100.
Go ahead, enjoy yourselves - it's getting late, much later than you think.
Religious but not a religion. I have never been able to see how a person could be in an AA room and NOT see that it was a spiritual program after reading the steps on the wall.
I don't see how you can make any type of demands on chairpersons as we always were ASKING people to chair and telling them the sobriety requirement. We had a sign up calender. We often had it as a subject at business meetings because we had the same willing AAs to take on chairing meetings, but you need rotation.
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
Well then, Clara, how do you explain the popular slogan "spiritual, not religious?"
Would that be a lie?
When you do, can you tell me how to find it?
"Tradition 10 - Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy." Please follow orders from the Interchurch Center if you are an AA member and don't comment.
He wanted to save alcoholics from the pain he suffered so he used what was available at the time. His time was the late 30's, Bill was still,"wet behind the ears". I say thank goodness the, "first 100" got together when they did and toned down the religious evangelistic nature Bill wanted AA to go or thought he wanted it to go. I believe Bill evolved over time into a more spiritual person then religious.
People today are not going to be lead anywhere they don't want to go concerning religion, AA can be easily navigated without any religious indoctrination.
I also think that the members here are being a bit disingenuous, because they know (from being associated with AA) that most of the members in AA could care a less about religion.
That members in AA are not having a problem with the content in the BB, God or no God.
"The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends."
Shirley MacLaine
If Bill thought God helped him get sober, what is the problem with telling people that? It was his truth.
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
Perhaps instead of blaming AA, you need to address why you continued to go after you weren't interested and said so. You weren't in bondage, Avo. You weren't mandated. I just don't understand you or others that continue to make claims that they were forced to go because of what someone else said. You yourself talk about numerous medical interventions, going to rehabs an hospital, yet you "cured" your addiction with your mind and willpower alone. And while you could do that "with your mind", you need a fellowship to help you "get over" going to AA. How on Earth is going to a program you never believed in so much more traumatic than what you describe happened during your active addiction? AA just wasn't for you, but it doesn't mean that there aren't people for whom it was just the right thing.
I think that is true of any number of programs out there, even those that attempt to "teach" moderation. If you are into moderating, AA isn't for you as it's focus is on abstinence. AAs have already tried moerating and found it didn't work for them. A person seeking moderation is going to find AA to be everything they don't want since they've decided they are still in the drinking game.

AA's focus is on self. God/god may or may not play a part.
Please describe in your own words how each step is "full of god". If you can't or won't do this, it stands to reason you really have no position and you're just give lip service to the anti-AA cult.

Slogans are bumper stickers. Want to discuss the actual program?
Hands on your hips, a smile on your lips, spirit in your heart, we're ready to start!
Together we stand, together we fall. All for one and one for all!
Fly high, do or die, dare to dream, cheer extreme.
The referees have always been blind, it's our job to make them deaf.
Boys lift weights…but Men lift cheerleaders
If cheerleading is so easy…why can't you pick up any girls?
If cheerleaders are so easy, why aren't you with one?
Most sports throw balls…We throw people
I trade sweat for strength. I trade doubt for belief. I trade cheerleading for nothing.
Cheerleaders are angels…we're the only humans that can fly
Athlete by nature…cheerleader by choice
Cheerleaders know that pyramids were not built in Egypt
Eat, Sleep, Cheer, Repeat
It's hard to be humble when you can jump, stunt, and tumble.
Flying is the second best thrill to cheerleaders; being caught is the first.
There is only one way to cheer- HARD!
I don't play the field…I rule the sidelines
There are two types of people in this world, cheerleaders, and those who wish they were.
I'm loud and I'm proud
What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothin' yet!
You know you're a cheerleader when you have to kick, yell and scream to get what you want
If you fall remember this squad will always be there to catch you
Any man can hold a girls hand but only the Elite can hold her feet
Cheerleading is more than a sport…it's an attitude
Cheer Attitude- You mess with me, you mess with the whole squad.
When in doubt cheer you heart out
Cheerleaders are simply a jump above the rest.
When life begins to shed a tear, just perk up and say a cheer
Work as a squad, cheer as a squad, be safe as a squad and you'll always be caught if you fall.
Peace, love, and cheerleading. The rest is just details.
If you've got the game, we've got the cheer
Cheer, Cheer, Cheer to get through the year!
I got spirit! Yes, I do!..I got spirit, how bout you?!
Do you think these kids really use this crap to endure the difficulties of life? Slogans, cheerleading, it's all the same stuff. It is fluffy, sometimes catchy or clever, identification with a group or an activity. It is not philosophy, it not psychology, it is not metaphysics, it is not logic. It is noise, and some of it is flat-out untrue. When these kids are done mouthing off about their avocation, they go back to their studies of real subjects, gaining knowledge that will help them to negotiate life. My experience tells me that the lion's share of that information does note even come to us in middle school or high school - it comes to us through mistake-making and fear and opportunity and risk-taking throughout our adult years. Adults who never felt like they belonged anywhere until they got to AA may find solace in the slogans, but the slogans are noise, they are not the program. So back to square one, live_not.

You deliberately misquote and misinterpret me at every turn. One or two more instances and we will shut it down, live_toannoy.
I neither confirm nor deny that AA is about God/god. It is up to each individual to determine whether and to what degree a higher power is invited into the process of striving for continuous sobriety. Many people have no God/god and do fine; others are atheists who by choice cannot apply the concept of God to their efforts and some find another way to put distance between themselves and booze.
You are an insufferable little gadfly, almost_living. You can continue to lie and misrepresent, but if it continues we're done: this is just to give you notice. Do with it what you will; it makes no difference to me one way or the other.

Step 5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6.Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

Bill W. and members like him wanted God in their program. Bill wrote about it extensively but it still doesn't negate nor make less important the members who have no interest in God or the references to God in the literature. From the beginning of AA's existence there have been AA members who were not interested in God.
This really comes down to preference. People who do not believe in God will probably not stay with AA today. Why? For all the options you mention in your signature. Just remember though they don't minimize the benefits of religion (God).

My problem with AA is that it is ineffective in helping MOST substance abusers. And AA/12 steps is the cause of SOME of the suicides of AA members. For anyone to disagree with these 2 statements is just denial. Plain and simple.

You do care if people believe in God because you keep mentioning it as a slight against AA and its members.
You have no idea if 70% of substance abusers straighten themselves out or not. Why would you say and give such an absurd %. No professional in the addiction community would even say that.

you said you lived in 2 years ago.

to ever meet you anywhere.
Stop thinking you are so fucking important. This is the problem with most of
you anti's maybe a dozen of you are so over the top it isn't funny.
Nobody really cares about you personally it is the information we are after
and that is not your personal information. I nor anyone I know has any
interest in you, You being the Anti AA'ers. You are being studied, your
content, temperament, attitudes ect....
This has nothing to do with AA. I am not in AA.
Gunthar, chill out.
Hey what ever happened to the report Avo was telling us all about concerning
her child? Where are the arrest reports, has Danny been arrested?
I didn't think so, more bullshit from the supreme gossipers.
Really, if you punks didn't have gossip where would you be.
