Default modes[edit]
There are a number of python modes for Emacs. fgallina's python.el is the python.el included in Emacs 24.2 and onwards.
All-in-one solutions[edit]
emacs-for-python is a bundle of the above modes (and more), and it's an easy way to turn Emacs into a Python IDE.
Elpy is a collection of elisp packages for Python too.
EMP: EMacs Python[edit]
The goal of emp is to take all the best development components available for Python, and combine it conveniently under Emacs. It builds on top of elpy, and provides even more bindings.
rope & ropemacs[edit]
rope is a library for refactoring and manipulating Python code, pymacs is an interface between emacs lisp and python, and ropemacs is an Emacs interface to the rope library which uses rope and pymacs.
If you do some search and replace of code objects in your code and find it sometimes tricky, and/or you need to do it in more than one file, then you should consider a good tool of refactoring.
But Rope can do more than this simple example, it can:
- Rename anything
- Extract method/local variable
- Change method signature
- Perform cross-project refactorings
- Support Mercurial, GIT, Darcs and SVN in refactorings
Rope can also help IDE's with:
- Auto-completion
- Finding definition location
- Getting pydoc
- Finding occurrences
- Organizing imports (removing unused and duplicate imports and sorting them)
- Generating python elements
With el-get[edit]
So an easy way is to use an el-get recipe: M-x el-get-install ropemacs. It installs and build Pymacs, rope and ropemacs. The difference from the solution using pip is that it setups the Emacs side of Pymacs correctly.
You can follow the instructions as given here ,if you don't want to use marmalade you can use the following instructions .
sudo pip install rope ropemacs
As of February 2014 you can't install Pymacs via pip, therefore:
git clone http://github.com/pinard/pymacs cd pymacs make check sudo make install
make check ensures the prerequisites. sudo make install puts Pymacs module in Python local modules path, usually /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/. People generally frown upon make install, because if you lose the Makefile, it can become hard to cleanly uninstall. But you shouldn't fear it, as pip uses the same directory, so pip uninstall pymacs will work.
After you do the make install of pymacs do not delete the folder.Copy the file pymacs.el to ~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/
Now add path of pyamcs.el to your ~/.emacs file,using this code:
(setq emacs-config-path "~/.emacs.d/") (setq base-lisp-path "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/") (setq site-lisp-path (concat emacs-config-path "/site-lisp")) (defun add-path (p) (add-to-list 'load-path (concat base-lisp-path p))) (add-path "") (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d")
You can now lazily load ropemacs or load it at runtime.For lazy evaluation add this to your .emacs file:
(defun load-ropemacs () "Load pymacs and ropemacs" (interactive) (require 'pymacs) (pymacs-load "ropemacs" "rope-") ;; Automatically save project python buffers before refactorings (setq ropemacs-confirm-saving 'nil) ) (global-set-key "\C-xpl" 'load-ropemacs)
use c-xpl to load ropemacs.Read more about it here
Rope & traad[edit]
Traad is a client-server approach to using the rope Python refactory library. It involves two basic components:
- A HTTP server exposing the rope API via JSON, and
- Client libraries for talking to the server
Since rope is written in Python, any tool that wants to use rope needs to either embed Python, or it needs to find a way to communicate with a Python process running rope. The embedding approach is difficult if the target environment is not written in Python, and it also faces challenges when dealing with more than one Python version.
So traad aims to simplify communication with rope running in an independent process. HTTP communication and JSON data handling is well supported in many, many languages, so any environment that wants to use rope should be able to easily communicate with traad.
Jedi.el is a Python auto-completion package for Emacs. It aims at helping your Python coding in a non-destructive way. It also helps you to find information about Python objects, such as docstring, function arguments and code location.
Jedi is simple to install and it works out of the box.
See screenshots and get the full documentation : http://tkf.github.io/emacs-jedi/released/
Jedi's official page: http://jedi.jedidjah.ch/en/latest/
Install Jedi.el via el-get, Marmalade or MELPA (see install for more info) and add this to your Emacs configuration:
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'jedi:setup) (setq jedi:setup-keys t) ; optional (setq jedi:complete-on-dot t) ; optional
or call M-x jedi:setup
Note: it's nice to use it in a python interpreter inside emacs :)
Anaconda-mode is a mode for code navigation, documentation lookup and completion for Python.
It runs on emacs 24.3 with python >= 2.6.
It provides:
- context-sensitive code completion for Python
- jump to definition
- find references
- view documentation
- virtualenv management
The package is available in MELPA. For more information, read its documentation.
Code Checker[edit]
flymake is a on-the-fly syntax checker for Emacs. We can use it alongside with flyspell.
To run pep8, pylint, pyflakes and unit-tests (with nose), you can be interested in using flymake-python.
Don't forget about pylint too.
Indexing sources allows you to do neat things, like going to the definition of a function or finding which functions are calling another one.
Etags (Exuberant Ctags) generates an index (or tag) file of language objects found in source files that allows these items to be quickly and easily located by a text editor or other utility. A tag signifies a language object for which an index entry is available (or, alternatively, the index entry created for that object). Etags is a multilingual implementation of ctags.
The primary use for the tags files is looking up class/method/function/constant/etc declaration/definitions. Cscope is more powerful (see below).
Generate the tags with this command at the root of your project:
find . -name "*.py" -print | etags -
it creates the file TAGS.
Note that projects like Projectile or Helm provide an integrated use of etags (finding one, re-generating the index, etc).
cscope is a much more powerful beast. While it operates on more or less the same principle (generating a file of useful metadata) it allows you do some fancier things like find all references to a symbol, see where a function is being invoked, etc.+ (you can find definitions as well).
It was originally designed for C and C++, but thanks to version 0.3 of pycscope, pythonistas can make use of it.
The following commands should get you running:
apt-get install cscope pip install pycscope # in project base dir: find . -name '*.py' > cscope.files cscope -R
now install the xcscope emacs package with ELPA and require it:
(require 'xcscope)
When done, you can either enable the mode with cscope-minor-mode (which will add a menu you are free to explore) or call some functions like M-x cscope-find-global-definition, M-x cscope-find-functions-calling-this-function, etc.
Interactivity with helm-cscope[edit]
You can do all that interactively with helm-cscope: when you are on symbol, just call M-x helm-cscope-find-global-definition (for example) and enjoy the nice interactive interface.
Ipdb, ipython debugger[edit]
If you call ipdb, the execution will stop and give a nice ipython-looking prompt. Just add `import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()`
You can use the following to highlight this line, and not forget it :
; Highlight the call to ipdb ; src http://pedrokroger.com/2010/07/configuring-emacs-as-a-python-ide-2/ (defun annotate-pdb () (interactive) (highlight-lines-matching-regexp "import ipdb") (highlight-lines-matching-regexp "ipdb.set_trace()")) (add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'annotate-pdb)
pdb track[edit]
If you use emacs-for-python given above, you can track your source code while debugging with pdbtrack.
A tool to use in a non-emacs terminal would be pdbpp
Eldoc: argument list in the echo area[edit]
Eldoc is a MinorMode which shows you, in the echo area, the argument list of the function call you are currently writing. It works out of the box for elisp editing and for modes that implement its support, such as python-mode. You just have to call eldoc-mode.
To always enable it:
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'eldoc-mode)
helm-pydoc is a little utility that lets you interactively select a module you want read the doc and displays it in another buffer.
pydoc linkification[edit]
If you've ever used the emacs lisp documentation system, you may find that the pydoc is poorer in functionnalities:
- there is no direct link to code source
- there is no "back" button
John Kitchin's pydoc aims at fixing that with more enhancements, like a bit of source fontification. See more at his presentation and on github.
info format[edit]
Another way to read the python documentation is in the texinfo format. You'll need to install the package python-info on MELPA and go through the installation process.
Other tools[edit]
Virtual environments[edit]
Some tools allow to apply the changes of virtual environment activation inside emacs. They make M-x compile aware of the environment, etc.
- virtualenvwrapper emulates much of the functionnality of virtualenvwrapper, integrates well with M-x shell or eshell, is aware of hooks, has an automatic activation by project and integrates in the mode line.
- pyvenv sets the python path, uses virtualwrapper's hooks, ...
Pymacs is an Emacs extension that enables the use of Python alongside with Emacs Lisp.
Auto include import statements[edit]
Ropemacs (see above) is a plugin for performing python refactorings in emacs. It uses rope library and pymacs. It has rope-auto-import, so if you write
and then execute M-x rope-auto-import,
from shutil import rmtree
is inserted at the top of the file.
Unfortunately Ropemacs can not do non-relative imports, it can only create imports of the "from X import Y" variety (if you type shutil.rmtree it doesn't write import shutil).
Sort import statements[edit]
See the py-isort Melpa package to automatically sort import statements.
pip-requirements mode[edit]
pip-requirements (in MELPA) is a major mode for editing pip requirements files, with the following features:
- syntax highlighting
- Auto completion of package names from PyPI
- togglable comments
Code coverage with Python 3[edit]
There's a tool to highlight in real time the lines that are (not) covered by your unit tests. It's called pycoverage.el and it is in melpa.
See also[edit]
You'll be certainly interested in the following packages (that you will find on ELPA or MELPA):
- Magit, a git interface. Emacs + git is magic : see magit
- Yasnippet, a template system: yasnippet
- helm-pydoc to browse the documentation of installed packages and import one
- pungi to integrate jedi, virtualenv and buildout.
- how to do code folding
- other ELPA packages
If you're running Emacs 24, check out what is available in ELPA:
- M-x list-packages
- and see flymake-pyhon-pyflakes, flymake-shell, abl-mode (a python TDD minor-mode), nose (easy python test-running in emacs), visual-regexp / visual-regexp-steroids, python-magic and more.

Hominem ad deos nulla re propius accedunt quam salutem hominibus dando,
In nothing do men more nearly approach the gods, than in giving health to men.

La santé est le trésor le plus précieux et le plus facile à perdre; c'est cependant le plus mal gardé.
Health is the most valuable and most easily lost treasure; yet it is the most poorly kept.
Health is the most valuable and most easily lost treasure; yet it is the most poorly kept.
[When questioned on his longevity] First of all, I selected my ancestors very wisely. ... They were long-lived, healthy people. Then, as a chemist, I know how to eat, how to exercise, keep my blood circulating. ... I don't worry. I don't get angry at people. I don't worry about things I can't help. I do what I can to make the world a better place to live, but I don't complain if things aren't right. As a scientist I take the world as I find it.
[About celebrating his 77th birthday by swimming a half mile in 22 minutes] I used swim fins and webbed gloves because a man of intelligence should apply his power efficiently, not just churn the water.

A doctor is the only man who can suffer from good health.
A nickels worth of goulash beats a five dollar can of vitamins.
A physician is an unfortunate gentleman who is every day required to perform a miracle; namely to reconcile health with intemperance.
Alcmaeon maintains that the bond of health is the 'equal balance' of the powers, moist and dry, cold and hot, bitter and sweet, and the rest, while the 'supremacy' of one of them is the cause of disease; for the supremacy of either is destructive. Illness comes aboutdirectly through excess of heat or cold, indirectly through surfeit or deficiency of nourishment; and its centre is either the blood or the marrow or the brain. It sometimes arises in these centres from external causes, moisture of some sort or environment or exhaustion or hardship or similar causes. Health on the other hand is the proportionate admixture of the qualities.
An acquaintance of mine, a notary by profession, who, by perpetual writing, began first to complain of an excessive wariness of his whole right arm which could be removed by no medicines, and which was at last succeeded by a perfect palsy of the whole arm. . . . He learned to write with his left hand, which was soon thereafter seized with the same disorder.
Any man who is intelligent must, on considering that health is of the utmost value to human beings, have the personal understanding necessary to help himself in diseases, and be able to understand and to judge what physicians say and what they administer to his body, being versed in each of these matters to a degree reasonable for a layman.
Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.
Be not sick too late, nor well too soon.
Be temperate in wine, in eating, girls, & sloth;
Or the Gout will seize you and plague you both.

Besides agreeing with the aims of vegetarianism for aesthetic and moral reasons, it is my view that a vegetarian manner of living by its purely physical effect on the human temperament would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind.
Better to hunt in fields, for health unbought, Than fee the doctor for a nauseous draught, The wise, for cure, on exercise depend; God never made his work for man to mend.
Butterflies may be better indicators of the health of our environment than birds.
Cheese and salt meat, should be sparingly eat.
Criticism is as often a trade as a science, requiring, as it does, more health than wit, more labour than capacity, more practice than genius.
Detest it as lewd intercourse, it can deprive you of all your leisure, your health, your rest, and the whole happiness of your life.

Disease is an abnormal state of the body which primarily and independently produces a disturbance in the normal functions of the body. It may be an abnormality of temperament or form (structure). Symptom is a manifestation of some abnormal state in the body. It may be harmful as a colic pain or harmless as the flushing of cheeks in peripneumonia.
Disease is largely a removable evil. It continues to afflict humanity, not only because of incomplete knowledge of its causes and lack of individual and public hygiene, but also because it is extensively fostered by harsh economic and industrial conditions and by wretched housing in congested communities. ... The reduction of the death rate is the principal statistical expression and index of human social progress. It means the saving and lengthening of lives of thousands of citizens, the extension of the vigorous working period well into old age, and the prevention of inefficiency, misery, and suffering. These advances can be made by organized social effort. Public health is purchasable. (1911)
Dust consisting of fine fibers of asbestos, which are insoluble and virtually indestructible, may become a public health problem in the near future. At a recent international conference on the biological effects of asbestos sponsored by the New York Academy of Sciences, participants pointed out on the one hand that workers exposed to asbestos dust are prone in later life to develop lung cancer, and on the other hand that the use of this family of fibrous silicate compounds has expanded enormously during the past few decades. A laboratory curiosity 100 years ago, asbestos today is a major component of building materials.

Even when all is known, the care of a man is not yet complete, because eating alone will not keep a man well; he must also take exercise. For food and exercise, while possessing opposite qualities, yet work together to produce health.
Every creature has its own food, and an appropriate alchemist with the task of dividing it ... The alchemist takes the food and changes it into a tincture which he sends through the body to become blood and flesh. This alchemist dwells in the stomach where he cooks and works. The man eats a piece of meat, in which is both bad and good. When the meat reaches the stomach, there is the alchemist who divides it. What does not belong to health he casts away to a special place, and sends the good wherever it is needed. That is the Creator's decree... That is the virtue and power of the alchemist in man.
Exercise is good for your health, but like everything else it can be overdone.
Experience, the only logic sure to convince a diseased imagination and restore it to rugged health.
For Gods sake, please give it up. Fear it no less than the sensual passion, because it, too, may take up all your time and deprive you of your health, peace of mind and happiness in life.

From packaging materials, through fibers, foams and surface coatings, to continuous extrusions and large-scale moldings, plastics have transformed almost every aspect of life. Without them, much of modern medicine would be impossible and the consumer electronics and computer industries would disappear. Plastic sewage and water pipes alone have made an immeasurable contribution to public health worldwide.
Gluttony is the source of all our infirmities, and the fountain of all our diseases. As a lamp is choked by a superabundance of oil, a fire extinguished by excess of fuel, so is the natural health of the body destroyed by intemperate diet.
Go into a room where the shutters are always shut (in a sick-room or a bed-room there should never be shutters shut), and though the room be uninhabited—though the air has never been polluted by the breathing of human beings, you will observe a close, musty smell of corrupt air—of air unpurified by the effect of the sun's rays.
Good health is essential to happiness, and happiness is an essential to good citizenship.
He who has health has hope; and he who has hope has everything.

However, on many occasions, I examined normal blood and normal tissues and there was no possibility of overlooking bacteria or confusing them with granular masses of equal size. I never found organisms. Thus, I conclude that bacteria do not occur in healthy human or animal tissues.
I believe that women‐centred, physiologically accurate knowledge of what is normal related to our female bodies, menopause, menstrual cycles and many other aspects of our health does not exist.
I have noticed bakers with swelled hands, and painful, too; in fact the hands of all such workers become much thickened by the constant pressure of kneading the dough.
If you confine yourself to this Skinnerian technique, you study nothing but the learning apparatus and you leave out everything that is different in octopi, crustaceans, insects and vertebrates. In other words, you leave out everything that makes a pigeon a pigeon, a rat a rat, a man a man, and, above all, a healthy man healthy and a sick man sick.

Isaac Newton was born at Woolsthorpe, near Grantham, in Lincolnshire, on Christmas Day, 1642: a weakly and diminutive infant, of whom it is related that, at his birth, he might have found room in a quart mug. He died on March the 20th, 1727, after more than eighty-four years of more than average bodily health and vigour; it is a proper pendant to the story of the quart mug to state that he never lost more than one of his second teeth.
It is a fair question whether the results of these things have induced among us in a large class of well-to-do people, with little muscular activity, a habit of excessive eating [particularly fats and sweets] and may be responsible for great damage to health, to say nothing of the purse.
It is the unqualified result of all my experience with the sick that, second only to their need of fresh air, is their need of light; that, after a close room, what hurts them most is a dark room and that it is not only light but direct sunlight they want.
It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth and wisdom.
Laughter is a most healthful exercise; it is one of the greatest helps to digestion with which I am acquainted; and the custom prevalent among our forefathers, of exciting it at table by jesters and buffoons, was in accordance with true medical principles.
Look around you: there is not a doctor who desires the health of his friends, not a soldier who desires peace for his country.

Man's health and well-being depends upon, among many things, the proper functioning of the myriad proteins that participate in the intricate synergisms of living systems.
Many dishes many diseases,
Many medicines few cures.
Many medicines few cures.
Medicine is the science by which we learn the various states of the human body in health and when not in health, and the means by which health is likely to be lost and, when lost, is likely to be restored back to health. In other words, it is the art whereby health is conserved and the art whereby it is restored after being lost. While some divide medicine into a theoretical and a practical [applied] science, others may assume that it is only theoretical because they see it as a pure science. But, in truth, every science has both a theoretical and a practical side.
Men of science, osteologists
And surgeons, beat some poets, in respect
For nature,count nought common or unclean,

Of indurated veins, distorted joints,
Or beautiful new cases of curved spine;
While we, we are shocked at nature's falling off,
We dare to shrink back from her warts and blains.

Men that looke no further than their outsides thinke health an appertinance unto life, and quarrell with their constitutions for being sick; but I that have examined the parts of man, and know upon what tender filaments that Fabrick hangs, doe wonder what we are not alwayes so; and considering the thousand dores that lead to death doe thanke my God that we can die but once.
Men who are occupied in the restoration of health to other men, by the joint exertion of skill and humanity, are above all the great of the earth. They even partake of divinity, since to preserve and renew is almost as noble as to create.
Not enough of our society is trained how to understand and interpret quantitative information. This activity is a centerpiece of science literacy to which we should all strivethe future health, wealth, and security of our democracy depend on it. Until that is achieved, we are at risk of making under-informed decisions that affect ourselves, our communities, our country, and even the world.
Not only in antiquity but in our own times also laws have been passed...to secure good conditions for workers; so it is right that the art of medicine should contribute its portion for the benefit and relief of those for whom the law has shown such foresight...[We] ought to show peculiar zeal...in taking precautions for their safety. I for one have done all that lay in my power, and have not thought it beneath me to step into workshops of the meaner sort now and again and study the obscure operations of mechanical arts.
Over and over again, we must stress that a healthy ecology is the basis for a healthy economy.
Pain is a sensation produced by something contrary to the course of nature and this sensation is set up by one of two circumstances: either a very sudden change of the temperament (or the bad effect of a contrary temperament) or a solution of continuity.
Penguins are an indicator of the health of our watery planet, and if they are unable to survive, we had better take notice or we might find our own survival threatened.
People say the effect is only on the mind. It is no such thing. The effect is on the body, too. Little as we know about the way in which we are affected by form, by color, and light, we do know this, that they have an actual physical effect. Variety of form and brilliancy of color in the objects presented to patients, are actual means of recovery.
Perfect health is above gold; a sound body before riches.
Physic is of little use to a temperate person, for a man's own observation on what he finds does him good or what hurts him, is the best physic to preserve health.
Physic, for the most part, is nothing else but the substitute of exercise and temperance.

Rising before daylight is also to be commended; it is a healthy habit, and gives more time for the management of the household as well as for liberal studies.
Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one otheronly in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.
Take care of your health. ... Imagine Hercules as oarsman in a rotten boat; what can he do there but by the very force of his stroke expedite the ruin of his craft. Take care of the timbers of your boat. ... The formation of right habits is essential to your permanent security. They diminish your chance of falling when assaulted, and they augment your chance of recovery when overthrown.
Technology, when misused, poisons air, soil, water and lives. But a world without technology would be prey to something worse: the impersonal ruthlessness of the natural order, in which the health of a species depends on relentless sacrifice of the weak.
The body of man has in itself blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile; these make up the nature of this body, and through these he feels pain or enjoys health. Now he enjoys the most perfect health when these elements are duly proportioned to one another in respect of compounding, power and bulk, and when they are perfectly mingled.

The maladies that affect the clerks aforesaid arise from three causes. First, constant sitting, secondly, the incessant movement of the the hand and always in the same direction, thirdly, the strain on the mind from the effort not to disfigure the books by errors or cause loss to their employers when they add, subtract, or do other sums in arithmetic. The diseases brought about by sitting constantly are easily understood; they are obstructions of the viscera, e.g. the liver and spleen, indigestion in the stomach, numbness of the legs, a considerable hindrance in the circulation of the blood, and an unhealthy habit.
The means by which I preserve my own health are, temperance, early rising, and spunging the body every morning with cold water, a practice I have pursued for thirty years ; and though I go from this heated theatre into the squares of the Hospital, in the severest winter nights, with merely silk stockings on my legs, yet I scarcely ever have a cold...
The mortality of those who dig minerals is very great, and women who marry men of this sort marry again and again. According to Agricola, at the mines in the Carpathian mountains, women have been known to marry seven times.
The name of medicine is thought to have been given from 'moderation', modus, that is, from a due proportion, which advises that things be done not to excess, but 'little by little', paulatim. For nature is pained by surfeit but rejoices in moderation. Whence also those who take drugs and antidotes constantly, or to the point of saturation, are sorely vexed, for every immoderation brings not health but danger.
The ordinary patient goes to his doctor because he is in pain or some other discomfort and wants to be comfortable again; he is not in pursuit of the ideal of health in any direct sense. The doctor on the other hand wants to discover the pathological condition and control it if he can. The two are thus to some degree at cross purposes from the first, and unless the affair is brought to an early and happy conclusion this diversion of aims is likely to become more and more serious as the case goes on.
The rapid growth of industry, the ever increasing population and the imperative need for more varied, wholesome and nourishing foodstuff makes it all the more necessary to exhaust every means at our command to fill the empty dinner pail, enrich our soils, bring greater wealth and influence to our beautiful South land, which is synonymous to a healthy, happy and contented people.
The Superfund legislation set up a system of insurance premiums collected from the chemical industry to clean up toxic wastes. This new program may prove to be as far-reaching and important as any accomplishment of my administration.

The very elements of what constitutes good nursing are as little understood for the well as for the sick. The same laws of health, or of nursing, for they are in reality the same, obtain among the well as among the sick.
There are those who say we cannot afford to invest in science, that support for research is somehow a luxury at moments defined by necessities. I fundamentally disagree. Science is more essential for our prosperity, our security, our health, our environment, and our quality of life than it has ever been before. we can't allow our nation to fall behind. Unfortunately, that's exactly what's happened. Federal funding in the physical sciences as a portion of our gross domestic product has fallen by nearly half over the past quarter century. Time and again we've allowed the research and experimentation tax credit, which helps businesses grow and innovate, to lapse.
There is no curing a sick man who believes himself to be in health.
They hold that the function of universities is to make learning repellent and thus to prevent its becoming dangerously common. And they discharge this beneficent function all the more efficiently because they do it unconsciously and automatically. The professors think they are advancing healthy intellectual assimilation and digestion when they are in reality little better than cancer on the stomach.

Those who eat most, and who take the most exercise, are not in better health than they who eat just as much as is good for them; and in the same way it is not those who know a great many things, but they who know what is useful who are valuable men.
Those who work standing ... carpenters, sawyers, carvers, blacksmiths, masons ... are liable to varicose veins ... [because] the strain on the muscles is such that the circulation of the blood is retarded. Standing even for a short time proves exhausting compared with walking and running though it be for a long time ... Nature delights and is restored by alternating and varied actions.
Use now and then a little Exercise a quarter of an Hour before Meals, as to swing a Weight, or swing your Arms about with a small Weight in each Hand; to leap, or the like, for that stirs the Muscles of the Breast.
We are learning, too, that the love of beauty is one of Nature's greatest healers.
We are led to think of diseases as isolated disturbances in a healthy body, not as the phases of certain periods of bodily development.
We cannot rest and sit down lest we rust and decay. Health is maintained only through work. And as it is with all life so it is with science. We are always struggling from the relative to the absolute.
We need go back only a few centuries to find the great mass of people depending on religion for the satisfaction of practically all their wishes. From rain out of the sky to good health on earth, they sought their desires at the altars of their gods. Whether they wanted large families, good crops, freedom from pestilence, or peace of mind, they conceived themselves as dependent on the favor of heaven. Then science came with its alternative, competitive method of getting what we want. That is sciences most important attribute. As an intellectual influence it is powerful enough, but as a practical way of achieving mans desires it is overwhelming.
When important decisions have to be taken, the natural anxiety to come to a right decision will often keep us awake. Nothing, however, is more conducive to healthful sleep than plenty of open air.
Wine is the most healthful and most hygienic of beverages.
With your talents and industry, with science, and that steadfast honesty which eternally pursues right, regardless of consequences, you may promise yourself every thingbut health, without which there is no happiness. An attention to health then should take place of evey other object. The time necessary to secure this by active exercises, should be devoted to it in preference to every other pursuit.
Wouldst thou enjoy a long Life, a healthy Body, and a vigorous Mind, and be acquainted also with the wonderful Works of God? labour in the first place to bring thy Appetite into Subjection to Reason.
You ask me how, with so much study, I manage to retene my health. ... Morpheous is my last companion ; without 8 or 9 hours of him yr correspondent is not worth one scavenger's peruke. My practices did at ye first hurt my stomach, but now I eat heartily enou' as y will see when I come down beside you. [On the value of sleep, and harm of eating poorly while intent on study.]
You make me sick! You are offered meat and you choose a banana-split-with-nuts.

I first heard singer-songwriter Matt Wertz in 2003 when I was entering high school and exploring new kinds of music for the first time in my life. Until then, my tape and cd collection consisted mainly of the mainstream artists that were currently dominating the television and radio stations; and so upon hearing Wertz's music, my fascination with independent artists was born. Suddenly, I was interested in finding out more about the talented musicians that, in my opinion, deserved as much attention and praise as the popular bands from the top 20 charts. Since 2003, Wertz has released approximately six full-length albums and four EPs. His second album "Twenty-Three Places" remains the closest to my heart, as it was this release that originally gained my attention. Nonetheless, his later works also contain a number of catchy tunes, and for this reason, they
are worth checking out. Take a listen to some of my favorite tracks below… You just might end up being as inspired by his music as I was some nine years ago. Matt Wertz – Everything's Right Matt Wertz – Wesley, Why? Matt Wertz – Marianne THE BONUS TRACK: "Capitol City" and "Carolina" are my top picks from Wertz's third studio album "Everything in Between," released in 2006.

Oh gawd, I don't know how I'm going to cram all this podcasting into my earhole!
2 full podcasts in one almost! Awesome.
That's a lot of podcast.
lol they're so uninformed about console hardware.
My ears hurt from the awesome
Lots of 8-4 goodness atm.
Down the track a 4 hour long podcast on the Mega Drive/Genesis would be cool but you seemed to really gravitate to the JRPG's of the SNES, and a lot of us outside of Japan don't really bother with the genre anymore so a podcast about the diamonds in the rough would be great.
Thanks for the podcasts looking forward to hearing about hopes for TGS then the disappointment that was TGS :)
PS I'm glad you didn't talk about the Iphone 5 fuck apple, ILL KILL YOU!
Even by normal Bombcast standards this is a ridiculously long podcast.
FUCK YES and FUCK YES TO PART 2 of the SNES retrospective.

If you love the SNES then start listening at 01:45:00

Enjoying it so far, but the whole "Flash memory" thing bugged me. Fuck off, it's basically a harddrive. If you can't explain the difference, don't point it out.
@Undeadpool: damn now i have to go watch all of those episodes again cracker !
Who are these people doing this podcast
For anyone who actually reads these comments: I would like to jump in and correct that id software actually got their start by re-doing Super Mario Bros. 3 and not Super Mario World like they mentioned in the podcast.

I swear I must be the only person ever that liked Dracula X better than Castlevania IV.
Look, I know that Dracula X is a very poor port of Rondo of Blood. But I didn't know that at the time.
At the time, I was just a guy that loved Castlevania and played every one on the NES and SNES.
I mean, I really liked CV4 when it came out. Easily better than the NES ones, but I was never really comfortable with the whipping, and I didn't really like the way the player's sprite was freakin gigantic.
But most of all, I didn't like the music. There's only one original song in that game that's fantastic. Theme of Simon. There are other great themes, but they're remixes of songs from earlier games. Most of the original songs in the game sound awful to me. They're all this, like, free-form jazz played on a church organ. It's just, bleh.
Then Dracula X came out, and I was like, "Now THIS plays like classic Castlevania. The controls are tight, precise, Richter is a much smaller sprite, looks cooler, backflips."
And the music was AMAZING. Sounded 10x better than CV4.
So yeah, Dracula X was my favorite Castlevania for a long time, until I played SotN.

Mark hates the gameboy? What. Oh well. The SNES Retrospective was pretty great. I'm so glad that they love Final Fantasy V as much as I do.
@DarthEnder: yeah .. i had a similar experience .. tho i didnt like the gameplay for dracula x , (or rondo of blood that much either come to think of it) but that music made it authentic enough .. castlevania bloodlines is more of an abortion in my opinion

This was a great episode. Kind of reminded me of how badly I want to replay all those SNES RPGs (all except for Chrono Trigger, I've already played that enough for two lifetimes).
I have nearly the opposite opinion of Mark's on SNES games. ActRaiser is great and still holds up. Super Mario World is good but not earth shattering. LttP is fairly tedious and boring these days - I'd rather play the NES Zelda games. Donkey Kong Country still looks pretty great, despite the old CG, and is an awesome platformer in general. Castlevania 4 only has a couple great songs on its soundtrack, and is not as good as CV1 or 3.
But at least we both agree that Yoshi's Island and Super Metroid kick ass.
The SNES podcast segments are great. Those combined with the 5+ hour SNES video streams on the site have made me go online and buy a 2nd hand SNES to check out some of the games I missed out on (as I was a SEGA kid growing up).
No mention of Terranigma aka Tenchi Souzou in the actual games discussion, for shame. It's such a fucking great game. One of the best action RPGs of all time.
And completely glossed over Treasure Hunter G as well.

Chosen from among over 120,000 students, 18 teens graduate after completing unique Education Ministry program for 'super gifted'. 'Like superman for geeks,' says one

Geniuses in action: The super gifted graduates (Photo: Ofer Amram)
"These are students we call 'geniuses' where from a group of 120,000 children we usually manage to locate maybe 15 students who are suitable, who we believe that by locating them early, and offering them the right guidance, we can train to become Israel's next scientific elite."
Arij Hatib, 15, was discovered to be a "super gifted" student last year and has since become the darling of her hometown of Majdal Krum. Her research on the "effect of synthesis on protein in the area of the para-frontal cortex," is being done with the help of an academics advisor from Haifa University.

Watch Daughtry perform an acoustic version of "Waiting For Superman":
The confetti has yet to be cleaned off the turf of the Super Dome in New Orleans following the Ravens 34-31 win over San Francisco in Super Bowl XLVII yesterday and already the odds makers in Las Vegas have their sights set on next season.
Gomez was spotted rocking a 'Justin' tattoo on her wrist at her performance in Las Vegas over the weekend. The question that every one is asking, is it a real tattoo...
In a video circulating the Internet this week, a man dressed as Batman engaged in what began as a bit of playful street theater with a non-costumed rival on the Vegas strip
But soon, faux-punches turned to real ones, and the two slugged it out in front of a crowd of onlookers. It didn't end well for Batman, who was ultimately body slammed and then hit with a barrage of blows as he lay helpless on the ground.
American Idol's Top 60 travels to Las Vegas to tackle the Beatles catalog, using the Cirque du Soleil production of Love as a backdrop. At least, that's what's going to happen for the first hour.

Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly batted resolutely to help India
stretch their first innings lead and take control of the second cricket Test against
England at Trent Bridge here today.
At lunch on the third day, India were 338 for three in reply to England's 198,
with Tendulkar batting on 87 and Ganguly on 53.
The unbroken partnership of the overnight pair, worth 92 runs
so far, meant India's lead had swelled to 140 runs now.
Tendulkar, inching closer to his 38th Test hundred - had so
far batted for nearly five hours, faced 191 balls and struck 11 fours.
Ganguly made his runs at a quicket pace, from 131 minutes and
98 balls with eight fours and a six.
With the Indians resuming the day at 254 for 3, England took
the second new ball as soon as it was due, in the second over of the day.
And with Ryan Sidebottom bowling an excellent spell,
although without any luck, it was a tough grind for the Indians, most notably
Tendulkar who took it upon himself to face eight out of the left-arm seamer's
nine overs.
Sidebottom's first spell read an amazing 9-6-7-0, and Tendulkar
had to bring in all his experience into play.
The muscular bowler swung the ball appreciably, beat Tendulkar
on a few occasions, and came up with some close calls.

Comic Con 2012 - John C. Reilly talks doing the voice for 'Wreck It Ralph'
John C. Reilly talks about his first experience working for an animation movie. He discusses the midlife crisis of his character and his personal life.
Wreck-It Ralph (voice of Reilly) longs to be as beloved as his game's perfect Good Guy, Fix-It Felix (voice of McBrayer). Problem is, nobody loves a Bad Guy. But they do love heroes… so when a modern, first-person shooter game arrives featuring tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Lynch), Ralph sees it as his ticket to heroism and happiness. He sneaks into the game with a simple plan—win a medal—but soon wrecks everything, and accidently unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens every game in the arcade. Ralph's only hope? Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Silverman), a young troublemaking "glitch" from a candy-coated cart racing game who might just be the one to teach Ralph what it means to be a Good Guy. But will he realize he is good enough to become a hero before it's "Game Over" for the entire arcade? (Official Description)

Making Trade Policy While Pursuing the War on Terrorism: Free Trade Remains the Objective, but Is a Step Back Sometimes Necessary for Two Steps Forward?
Stern, Paula, Business Economics
As in the war against communism, free trade is one of the most potent tools in combating terrorism. However, to move forward it is necessary to get broad agreement. This paper describes and discuss several critical aspects of current trade policy: (1) the Bush Administration use of US trade laws in the recent steel case and the role of the International Trade Commission as a safety value in moving toward freer trade; (2) The President's pending request to Congress for so-called fast track Trade Promotion Negotiating Authority (TPA) as a means of negotiating for freer trade, (3) The launch of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Doha Development Round, and (4) The Bush Administration's approach to intellectual property rights (IPR) protection. While moving toward free trade will always be a balancing act between domestic and international interests, it must always be recognized that increasingly open trade policies helped to win the Cold War and will also help to win the War Against Terrorism.
They say that wars are God's way of teaching Americans geography. World War I and II helped us learn about Europe. We have since learned about Korea, Southeast Asia and Vietnam. Today it is Afghanistan and Southwest Asia.
It seems to work that way even at the highest levels. When President George W. Bush was candidate Bush, he did not know that Pervez Musharraf was Pakistan's head of state and chided his opponent, Vice President Albert Gore, for the Clinton Administration's pursuit of "nation building." Now, Musharraf is America's "new best friend," and U.S. policy is both making was and helping to build new national governments in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
Trade policy quickly gets involved when wars refocus America's attention. Pakistan's largest export is textiles, and the Bush administration is surely more sensitive to this fact now. By the same token, the details of the President's decision to protect the U.S. steel industry and the outlook for a new round of world trade negotiations are also impacted by the War on Terrorism.
It could not be otherwise. September 11 shook the world. Suddenly, U.S. foreign policy makers found themselves in an environment in which 1) building alliances; 2) neutralizing foes; and 3) strengthening relations with NATO nations, Japan, countries in Afghanistan's neighborhood--Pakistan and India and key republics of the former Soviet Union as well as Russia--are a top priority. All of these efforts are essential to the U.S. military response to Al Qaeda and to the long-term anti-terrorism effort. Other efforts include piecing together post-Taliban Afghanistan, actively engaging in the Arab-Israeli peace process, and trying to credibly assure allies like Turkey that the U.S. can create a stable regime in Iraq if we remove Saddam. This military and diplomatic activism affects trade policy. Unilateralism does not seem like such a good idea in this post-September 11 world, and U.S. trade policy for the past fifty years has been intimately connected to our foreign policy concerns.
The War on Terrorism: Cold War Redux
Tectonic shifts in U.S. policy are rare. When the Berlin Wall fell, it marked the implosion of the Soviet Union and the end of a half-century of Cold War. The attacks on the World Trade Center Towers and the Pentagon marked the beginning of a new War on Terrorism. The Bush Administration is taking entire chapters out of the book called "Containing Communism." There is no question about it: The War on Terrorism is America's 21st century equivalent of the Cold War: Cold War Redux.
Eradicating international terrorism is a goal that gives American policy an over-arching theme, just as the war on communism did. It helps to clarify the US military mission. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Secretary of State and former General Colin Powell used to say in his stump speeches that he missed having that singular goal of fighting communism. …

A group of us are thinking of doing this new event, saw it in the Telegraph on Saturday - Ride across Britain.
Has anybody done the route? I have never done anything that long before and it's a bit daunting so any tips would be good!
A group of us are thinking of doing this new event, saw it in the Telegraph on Saturday - Ride across Britain.
Has anybody done the route? I have never done anything that long before and it's a bit daunting so any tips would be good!
I rode from Inverness to the Isle of Skye, does that count? I know, I know, Scotland really isn't part of England...
The ride sounds like a lot of fun. I'd say stop thinking about it and go do it!
It sounds like a great ride any way you slice it, but we need more info. Is it a one day ride or a tour, and how far, and how fast do you want to go? How long do you have to train up to it, and how far and fast can you ride right now?
If it's just a ride, and not a race, you can train up to it if you have enough time. In other words, go!
Campione Del Mondo Immaginario
It's a charity tour for the Paralympics GB foundation. 9 days, ~110mi/stage.
One team is using the route as an attempt to break the current tandem End-to-End record, but the rest is a mass ride tour event with food and camping at the end of each day.
article I found about it
James - I'd suggest you ask about it over in the Touring forum for some more relevant answers.
"I feel like my world was classier before I found cyclocross."
- Mandi M.
Three of us did a similar thing last year calling it the Tour de Superior, going around Lake Superior. My wife drove end-to-end SAG, moving luggage from motel to motel but not providing support during the day. Since we were not carrying luggage, I didn't consider it touring. That ride was 10 days with 130 miles per day average. Since it was all daytime riding, we could travel without lights or other encumbrances that would be required for touring.
At 110 miles per day, as long as you are not carrying your own luggage, you should be able to complete each day's ride in good time.
One thing to keep in mind about something like this -- once you get beyond the first couple of days you'll find that your food consumption goes up a huge amount. The key thing about these multi-day rides is not so much training for speed, but training your body for the amount of food that you will need to eat each day -- at least that's what I found.
You will find that much of the time spend off the bike is spent eating -- I know, I've been through this a couple of times. You need to prepare by riding several weeks in a row prior to the ride with at least 300 miles per week, preferably longer. You cannot get into a food or liquid deficit because you don't have any recovery days.

|A game of two halves
|Friday, 26 June 2009 10:28
The facts of the Ronaldo-to-Madrid saga, one of the most high-profile stories of the last month, are well-known. But the language used by commentators on either side is telling: In this month's word cloud analysis, Zoltan Marfy goes digging for the Real deal.
Sometimes you have to read behind the lines to get the real story. Whether it is a politician's proclamation, a corporate report or an opinion piece on a football transfer, people might appear to be saying the same thing…but look more closely and you'll see that there are really very different messages.Take the transfer of the footballer Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United to Real Madrid. Unless you've been living in a cave in Afghanistan for the last month (and who's to say that, despite the Arsenal rumours, Bin Laden isn't really a passionate fan of the Red Devils, secretly wishing he could give it all up and just get a season ticket in the Stretford End?) you can't fail to have missed the story.
We all know the headlines: Portuguese winger Ronaldo is one of the best footballers in the world, and has been pivotal in United's recent successes. (and winning the Premiership three times in a row, the Champions League in 2008 and the Club World Cup in 2009 counts as success even for trophy machine Sir Alex Ferguson – no bias here, believe me). But he's always dreamt of playing for Real Madrid, and after three years of on-off flirtation a deal was finally done on 11 June to sell him for a world record transfer fee of £80 million.
Cloud 1
Cloud 2
You might expect the Manchester United fanzine, United Rant (cloud 2), and the Madrid newspaper El Pais (cloud 1) to report this story in very different ways – one bemoaning the loss of its best player, and the other looking forward to a new era of dominance for the world's most successful football club. But in fact the wordclouds show that they both have very similar stories to tell. On the surface at least.
The names of the key actors are prominent: "Ronaldo", "Cristiano", "Ferguson", "Madrid", "United" and "Manchester" – all omitted from this analysis – as well as that of "Perez" the flamboyant new Real Madrid President who is bankrolling this spending spree. To all intents and purposes both are telling a fairly straightforward story.
But look more closely at the words around the edges. They reveal a great deal.
The English fanzine mentions "4-2-3-1", the formation that United have already begun to play, allegedly in readiness for the winger's departure. And the names of potential new signings like Karim Benzema, Frank Ribery and Antonio Valencia are dotted around, like fresh buds on the vine. ("Ready to wilt," Merchant's managing director suggests here. He's a Newcastle fan, by the way, so, hey…what does he know?).
Clearly United fans have already moved on. On one level they are marvelling at the size of the transfer, and noting the end of an era, but on closer inspection they are looking ahead to a future without a player as well known for his petulance and ego as he is for his passing and scoring abilities.
The writers at El Pais appear to be equally aware of the limitations of their city's new golden boy. In their article they recognise the significance of this deal, citing "history", and placing it in the context of era-defining events in footballl, such as the first million-pound football transfer back in 1975. They even draw comparisons between this new player and their last high profile signing from Manchester United – one David Beckham.
However, again, around the edges are the small words that reveal the true story here. Ronaldo supporters, and there is the word under-pinning all of this concern: "ego".
El Pais has not raged at the size of the transfer fee, in contrast to Catalan paper La Vanguardia which indignantly pointed out that the £80 million could have instead been spent - in a country suffering from a housing shortage - on building 900 apartments of 80 square metres each. However, the Madrillenos are clearly concerned that "canny" Ferguson may just have got the best from this deal, moving on a player who had "irked" him one time too many, and pocketing a sizeable war chest for the summer's transfer market in the process.
As this example so clearly demonstrates, it is not in our choice of the obvious words that we reveal ourselves, but in the occasional, barely noticed utterances. So, the disloyal politician may use the right words – "capable", "experienced", "confidence"- to describe an under-threat colleague, but his use of the past tense gives him away.
In a newspaper article you can get away withhiding your message between the lines like this. But do it in a corporate report or a political interview and you're inviting trouble. Even if your audience doesn't actively read between the lines, it is still left with the feeling that something is amiss. There is still a fatal dissonance between the words and the message. This dissonance is the corporate communications equivalent of a footballer being caught on global television winking to teammates, having got an opponent sent off. And we all know what that does to your reputation.

Broke-Ass Stuart's "F--- The Recession" Party Recap
Adorned with hand-made macaroni bracelets, headbands and necklaces, the booze-mooching crowd at Broke-Ass Stuart's Rickshaw Stop party last night polished off the free keg within a matter of 30 minutes. Providing copious amounts of wheat products on the first day of Passover had his conscience stewing, so Stuart repented by buying Matzo for everyone. Hooray!
Broke-Ass Stuart's Buying Everyone A Beer
In a bold move to bring back the fun, one of SF's most well-known cult writers is throwing an eloquently named "Fuck The Recession" party. And buying a keg for the occasion.
Broke-Ass Stuart drops knowledge on how to live cheaply in this pocket-draining city of ours (through frequent posts to his website and guest blogs on Yelp and Unemploymentality) and explains the ins-and-outs on San Francisco and New York in his city guides.
And, he throws great parties.

If so, then how much milk is to be added in place of 1/4 cup heavy cream?
This is the recipe:
Homemade Caramel Sauce
Makes approximately 14-16oz
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons water
4 tablespoon butter
¼ c heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional, for salted caramel sauce)
Place sugar and water into a saucepan over medium low heat and stir the until sugar has dissolved. Dissolve any crystals forming on the side with a wet pastry brush.
Once sugar has dissolved increase heat to high.
At this point do not stir the mixture directly. Now and then, using the handle, give the pot a swirl to keep the mixture moving. The mixture will start to bubble after a minute or so.
After 3-4 minutes the mixture will turn from a light amber to medium amber and then finally to a dark reddish brown color. Once the mixture starts to smoke, add the butter and heavy cream. The mixture will bubble wildly. Whisk to combine (bubbles will subside upon cooling). Set aside to cool completely.

Completed my second ever centery today. The Hilly Hundred is billed as the toughest century in Ontario.
In 160 kilometers there were 2700 meters (8858 feet) of climbing (the profile is here). Although the time was slower than i had hoped for (7hrs 33mins), i was about in the middle of the pack, finishing quite a bit ahead of a lot of young guys. we also had 25km/hr headwinds for about 40km. All in all a great and very scenic ride, i would recommend it to anyone within driving distance. They also had 60km, 80km, and 240km distances. i did the 80 last year but at this point am not remotley contemplating the 240 next year.

According to a SiliconValley.com report, the U.S. House of Representatives will take up a revised version of the controversial Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) at the end of April. The revisions to the bill should address concerns about privacy, according to its sponsors, but details on what has been changed in the language are unknown at this time.
The bill lets government agencies and corporations share information about hacking attacks on U.S. networks, and copyright infringement activities among users. The bill is supported by a number of large tech companies such as Microsoft and Facebook – mainly because they get immunity from lawsuits if they are sharing information that they believe in good faith is related to a serious security threat.
Representatives Mike Rogers (R-Michigan) and C.A. "Dutch" Ruppersberger (D-Maryland) are the lead sponsors on the bill which expands the scope of a Pentagon pilot program for sharing classified information from only defense contractors and their Internet providers to a broader segment of the private sector. Rogers and Ruppersberger are the top two members on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. The bill has 105 co-sponsors already and is likely to pass. Even Daryl Issa, who opposes SOPA, PIPA, and ACTA, supports this legislation.
But advocacy groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation are gravely concerned that CISPA's language is so vague that it could lead to abuse. They believe the bill – if it becomes law – could be used to monitor online communications without restriction, filter content from sites like WikiLeaks, and shut down access to online services.
Lee Tien, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said he has not seen the proposed amendments lawmakers are talking about, and therefore could not say if the changes would allay the EFF's concerns.
In a news conference earlier this week, Rogers and Ruppersberger said their bill had no such intent and that they would clarify the language of the bill so that private companies would give information about threats only to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
"Malicious code will be caught before it gets into networks. That's where we think we make the biggest bang for the buck," Rogers said.
We will continue to follow the progress of this bill and let you know what changes lawmakers have made as information becomes available.

"E pluribus unum"
–Motto found on the seal of the United States
The dictum "Out of many, one" is as ubiquitous–officially–as it is defining of U.S. mythology. It is imprinted on money which underscores how critical it is to the daily life of average Americans. And yet, this motto exists in a virtually invisible state, its meaning lurking in the shadows and in the open, precisely because we handle it everyday–whether hedge fund whizzes move millions or a homeless person drops coins into the bus meter after a day of begging.
It is fitting, then, that this motto serve as the ethos of a new blog segment called: "Anatomy of an Immigration Debate" which begins with "Brown Faces at the White House" and this week's Hispanic Policy Conference (with "brown" being loosely used to refer to Latinos whose complexions range from Snow White like Giselle Bündchen, to black like salsa diva Celia Cruz, and every shade in between).
Then we'll reach back to the Spring when the President shifted the stalled immigration debate into high gear. When addressing (the lack of) comprehensive immigration reform in El Paso, Texas, President Obama, passionately evoked "E pluribus unum." Smart man: the 2012 Presidential election may be the first to be determined by Latino voters; deportations, including those of DREAMers–undocumented students and military service members–accelerate on his watch; and the Republican leadership is unable–or unwilling–to rein in the xenophobic wing of the party.
It is within our current and charged political and social context that "Out of Many, One" lives, breathes, and receives sustenance. The extraordinary demographic changes confirmed by the 2010 U.S. Census is re-defining and challenging our notion of the body politic.
Anatomy of an Immigration Debate: Brown Faces at the White House
I give the President credit for inviting Latino leaders to the White House for a two day long opening "of the lines of communications."
Imagine a wonky speed dating, where critical issues that will determine our nation's future around economic recovery, education, and competitiveness are being presented. "Hi, I'm X, and I work at _______ (fill in the agency). This is what we do…" Next bureaucrat. Next session.
It's a sign of respect for a growing voting block with significant issues around educational attainment, political, and economic disenfranchisement. But as David Ferreira, partner at the Hispanic Strategy Group and former VP for Government Affairs for the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce posted on Facebook, "Breakouts on everything except #CIR [Comprehensive Immigration Reform]. Please don't be a "judge us on other issues" conf?"
A break-out session on CIR would have been nothing short of political suicide for a President struggling to lower the unemployment rate and strike a deal with Republicans to raise the debt ceiling, including Arizona's senior Senator who last month, as I write in Senator McCain's Definition of Illegal Could Mean You, crossed the border into Bizarro-ville. Still, Latinos, a so-called "friendly" audience, asked tough questions about immigration in virtually every session ranging from jobs, to healthcare, to education, to faith-based initiatives. On several occasions, attendees demanded an explanation to Immigration, Customs, and Enforcement (ICE)'s continuing deportation of DREAMers–and not solely criminals–in defiance of the President's directives.
Hispanics, however, are not a one-trick immigration pony: these leaders also demanded to know what is being done to create more jobs, how to increase Latinas' earning power to match that of white men and women, and why the Administration has not penalized banks that received billions in bailout money for not sufficiently helping working American keep their homes.
How these "brown" faces acquire access to political, social, and economic opportunities is a challenge that requires equal parts government leadership, personal ganas or guts, and community commitment. Failure is a malignant tumor left to grow and corrode. Success strengthens the body–in this case, the nation.

Is it bad to laugh a little when a celebrity has a bit of our misfortune?
Lana Del Rey got a parking ticket while she was out and about in West Hollywood, California on August 24, 2013.
So much for unfair celebrity treatment.
Lana might have just been gathering material for her writing though, who knows since she told Wenn "I don't really feel inspired to write at all, but beforehand, when I was in Brooklyn for nine years… I was kind of a night owl and just walked around and met weird people. That was me picking up life experiences and meshing them into my own. That really did it for me."
Well that's pretty much a pretty embarrassing very public life experience right there. She's definitely on a good start!

Highway projects in BJP states put in fast lane
Jun 03 2014 , New Delhi
To begin with, four national highway projects stuck in Rajasthan and five in Madhya Pradesh have been taken up for 'de-bottlenecking' the ventures and revive them for implementation.
The BJP-ruled Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh governments have alleged discrimination by the UPA government towards completing infrastructure projects. Having reviewed highway projects in the two states earlier this week, planning minister Rao Inderjit Singh will submit a proposal to prime minister Narendra Modi for approval. Modi is also chairman of planning commission.
One such project stuck in Rajasthan was the 555-km-long stretch on national highway 8 between Kishangarh–Udaipur and Ahmedabad that was being executed by the GMR group with an investment of Rs 7,700 crore. GMR had announced pulling out of the project.
While the company had cited approvals not coming its way, the Centre had taken the position that the firm was facing shortage of funds to be able to complete the project.
Similarly, the Shivpuri–Dewas expressway in Madhya Pradesh had come to a standstill after the GVK group pulled out of the project.
"In both these projects, implementation was held up because of pending regulatory clearances, especially from the environment and forest departments. It's also true that the companies liquidity crunch," said a top official privy to proceedings in the planning commission.
Another mega project that came up for discussion was the Delhi–Jaipur 225 km expressway on national highway 8 that has hit tourist influx into the Pink City. "The idea is to ensure that states get a better deal vis-à-vis central assistance and clearances that will be facilitated by the planning commission," official said .
Several roads projects have faced protracted delays, some have been abandoned for want of land acquisition while in yet other cases, central government clearances never came. As per planning commission data, about 58 ongoing roads projects are experiencing implementation delays across Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, MP, AP and the North East.
More than 18 roads projects are facing virtual disbandment in Assam and other northeastern states. Gujarat figures among 13-opposition ruled states where a large number of infrastructure projects have been stuck for want of regulatory clearances.
Of these, Rajasthan, Chattisgarh, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh were ruled by BJP. While 31 projects with projected investment of Rs 200,000 crore have been stuck, MP has 18 followed by Gujarat with 14 ventures and Rajasthan with 12 projects.
In the next round, road projects in Chhattisgarh and Gujarat are likely to come up for review and an action plan to implement them would be put up for prime minister Narendra Modi's approval.

>> Enterprises confronting BYOD security should focus on apps, not devices
Enterprises should focus on securing the data rather than the devices when it comes to BYOD security, argues Paul Steiner, general manager for Europe, the Middle East and Africa at Accellion, a provider of mobile file-sharing services. "Businesses should be more concerned about protecting the actual company data, regardless of which device it's accessed from," writes Steiner in a SC Magazine UK article. He highlights three areas that enterprises should focus on when they consider BYOD: data movement, storage and retention; access permissions and authentication methods.

The past two years has seen two high-profile baseball-themed movies: one good, 2011's "Moneyball," and the other less-than-good, last year's Clint Eastwood-starring "Trouble With The Curve." While the latter film was a disappointment for the studio, Warner Brothers is hoping they'll hit a homerun (see what we did there?) with the Jackie Robinson biopic "42." Scheduled for release next month, the details of the film's soundtrack album have been released and, as one would expect from a period film, it's filled with popular tunes from the era.
The biopic stars newcomer Chadwick Boseman with Harrison Ford, Christopher Meloni, Ryan Merriman, Brad Beyer, Judy Tylor, Jon Bernthal, Nicole Beharie and T.R. Knight rounding out the rest of the cast. The film focuses on the Robinson's time with the Brooklyn Dodgers when he became the first baseball player to break the color barrier.
We were pretty impressed by the film's trailer when it was unveiled last year and though the soundtrack won't boast Jay-Z's anthem "Brooklyn Go Hard," it's still a nice collection of tracks from artists like Duke Ellington, Hank Williams and Billie Holiday, as well as a piece of score from composer Mark Isham. "42" hits theatres on April 12th and the soundtrack will arrive a few days before on April 9th. Check out the tracklisting and cover art below. [Film Music Reporter]
1. Good Rockin' Tonight - Wyonnie Harris
2. Shame On You - Spade Cooley
3. Moon Glow - Artie Shaw & His Orchestra
4. Begin The Beguine - Melora Hardin
5. Lover Man (Oh, Where Can He Be?) - Billie Holiday
6. Panama - The Lecuona Cuban Boys
7. Straighten Up And Fly Right - Nat King Cole Trio
8. Don't Get Around Much Anymore - Duke Ellington
9. Move It On Over - Hank Williams
10. I'm Gonna Move To The Outside of Town - Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five
11. The Ball Game - Sister Wynona Carr
12. Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball? - Count Basie
