PEP 3156; check on it regularly for the latest! (In the last two hours I've seen it updated with three big content changes.)
The buzz has died down a bit now, but the mellowing of the roaring flames has resulted in some nice embers in which an async for Python 3 is being forged. This is an exciting time for those of us who 1) love Python and 2) can't get us enough async.
I wanted to take the time to record some of the goodness here before I forgot or got too busy working on something else. So here goes:
The latest bout of Python async fever started in September of 2012 in this message when Christian M. Amsüss emailed the Python-ideas mail list about the state of async in Python and the hopes that a roadmap could be decided upon for Python 3. Note that this is the latest (re)incarnation of conversations that have been going on for some time and for which there is even a PEP (with related work on github).
After a few tens of messages were exchanged, Guido shared his thoughts, starting with:
This is an incredibly important discussion.This seemed to really heat things up, eventually with core Twisted and Tornado folks chiming in. I learned a tremendous amount from the discussions that took place. There's probably a book deal in all that for a motivated archivist/interviewer...
After this went on for chunks of September and October, Guido stated that he'd like to break the discussion up into various sub-topics:
- reactors
- protocol implementations
- Twisted (esp. Deferred)
- Tornado
- yield from vs. Futures
This was done in order to prevent the original thread from going over 100 messages and to better organize the discussion... but wow, things completely exploded after that (in good ways. mostly). It was async open season, and the ringing of shots in the air seemed continuous. If you scroll to about the half-way point of the October archive page, you will see the first of these new threads ([Python-ideas] The async API of the future: Reactors). These messages essentially dominate the rest of the October archives. It's probably not unexpected that this continued into November. A related thread was started on Python-dev and it seemed to revive an old thread this month (on the same list).
All of this got mentioned on Reddit, too. It inspired at least two blog posts of which I am aware: one post by Steve Dower, and another by Allen Short. Even better, though, Guido started an exploratory project called Tulip to test out some of these ideas in actual running code. As he mentions in the README, a tutorial by Greg Ewing was influential in the initial implementation of Tulip and initial design notes were made in the message [Python-ideas] Async API: some code to review.
Shortly after that, some of the Twisted devs local to Guido met with him at his former office in San Francisco. This went amazingly well and revolved mostly around the pros and cons of separating the protocol and transport functionality. Guido started experimenting with that in Tulip on December 6th. Yesterday, a followup meeting took place at the Rackspace office, this time with notes.
There's a long way to go still, but I find myself compulsively checking the commit log for Tulip now :-) It's exciting to imagine a future where Twisted and Tornado could easily interoperate with async support in Python 3 with a minimum of fuss. In fact, Glyph has already sketched out two classes which might be all that's needed for 2-way interoperation between Twisted and Python 3.
Here's to the future!

The surprising wallpaper is segment of Starting a Vegetable Garden from Scratch publishing which is grouped within Garden, Cart, Gardening and posted at April 12, 2017 1:09:05 pm by rchadmin
Starting a Vegetable Garden from Scratch: Tricam Garden Cart
If you've ever thought of starting a vegetable garden from scratch then start with this article. It will tell you everything you need to know about starting your first veg plot.
Is your back garden just a waste of space or do you have a few square feet with potential? Are you past the stage of needing a big lawn for football and could you reclaim some of it for vegetable beds? If none of this applies, are there some allotments nearby, or, as a starting point, do you have room for a few big pots on a terrace, balcony or window ledge?
There are few more balancing and rewarding ways to spend an hour or two a week than growing even a few of your own vegetables. Let this be the year when you start to grow your own – it will then almost certainly become a lifetime's habit.
Over the years I've been growing veg, certain plants and varieties have emerged clearly as front runners in the time/reward ratio. They are quick and easy to grow, so that with little or no gardening experience, they still do well and go on to form the basis of hundreds of free and delicious meals over the next few months with very little sweat. This exercise is not about growing every single edible plant you and your family eat.
You should continue to buy the things that are tricky, or need too much TLC (such as red peppers and aubergines), or that take up tons of room for months at a stretch and then only give you a minimal harvest (eg Brussels sprouts, maincrop potatoes and parsnips). These are the crops of the devoted, almost full-time veg grower with lots of space – not high-priority plants for those of us who prefer to dip in and out of a vegetable patch, with almost instant rewards and abundant, self-perpetuating harvests.
The key here is to choose as many cut-and-come-again plants as possible, from which you can harvest on a Monday for supper and, by the following Monday, more will have grown back for you to eat.

It's a terrible thing, having patients in the hallways. I hate it, the nurses hate it, the hospital administration hates it. And guess what? Patients hate it too. It's kind of like being in limbo, where you may or may not have a nurse assigned to you, and you may or may not see your doctor (or any staff member, depending on which corner you are shuffled off into), and people walk by you constantly without talking to you or making eye contact. It seems like the most common types of patients I see on the hallway gurneys are:
- Drunks slowly metabolizing their way to freedom (often in 4-point restraints)
- Psych patients awaiting evaluation (often in 4-points, with security present)
- Demented geriatric patients awaiting ambulance transfer back to the
warehousenursing home
- Little old ladies being admitted, waiting for a bed
- Patients with police needing an "OK to book" exam
- Three-year-old children with ear infections (who will never be seen if they have to wait for a regular bed)
- Histrionic Anxiety/Chest Pain patients who came in via 911 but the charge nurse thinks is faking it.
- Regular folks with moderate orthopedic injuries
A lot of the other folks I am quite content to ignore, especially the drunks.
And of course I feel terrible for the parents of the children who get stuck in the hallway. (invariably close to the most foul-mouthed, abusive smelly drunk we have) Sure, they didn't need to be there, they could have gone to their doc in the morning, but their kid is sick and they got anxious, and their punishment is that they have to explain why that smelly man told the nurse to "go f*ck yourself, b*tch!" Not exactly what I would want for my kid.
Well, once we get the Death Star on line we won't have to deal with that anymore, I hope. For a year or two, until we outgrow the new place.

Dear Penn Stater,
There is no doubt that the Penn State community continues to face challenging times, particularly as the Sandusky trial began this week. The last year has been difficult for our entire community, from students, alumni, faculty and staff to countless others who care deeply about Penn State. We've heard from many of you who are supportive of the steps being taken at the University; we appreciate that support, and we also respect and continue to listen to the opinions of those who may disagree.
For all of us who serve on the Board of Trustees, our greatest priority is maintaining Penn State's long-standing qualities of integrity, responsibility, service to the community and excellence in academics.
That is why, as we learn from and take action to address the past, we remain accountable to actively governing to ensure the greatest propriety in all of Penn State's activities. I want you to know that we are dedicated to working with President Rodney Erickson to address the crisis and its related issues, and we will continue to accelerate our efforts in this area.
In that spirit, I will be providing monthly updates like this one detailing the Board's actions and activities, which will be shared on the recently launched new version of the Board's website at http://www.psu.edu/trustees online. The site continues our pledge for greater openness by providing more and better information to the Penn State community and beyond. It includes information about the Board's responsibilities, upcoming meetings, minutes and agendas, and recent news.
Additionally, you also may find the University's re-launched website at http://www.progress.psu.edu a helpful source of information about ongoing legal matters, as well as updates on the initiatives Penn State has put in place to address the serious issue of child abuse. I encourage you to check out this website as often as you can.
During the last few months, many Penn Staters have sought information on the Board, its authority and its responsibilities, so I would like to take this opportunity to explain our role at the University.
The Board of Trustees is the independent, corporate body established by the University's charter with "complete responsibility for the government and welfare of the University and all the interests pertaining thereto including students, faculty, staff and alumni." Our primary responsibilities include:
-- Selecting the president of the University;
-- Determining the major goals of the University;
-- Reviewing and approving the operating and capital budget of the University;
-- Informing the citizens of Pennsylvania about the University's performance of its role in the education of the youth of Pennsylvania; and
-- Assisting the president in the development of effective relationships between the University and the various agencies that provide the University with assistance and direction.
Earlier this year we conducted a listening tour with students, faculty, staff, alumni and other groups to improve upon the University's communications and its overall openness. As a result of this tour, in March, we reorganized our committee structure to improve access to the Board, as well as the Board's oversight of the University. This included the creation of five new standing committees to supersede the three that had been in place for many years. The new committees are:
-- The Committee on Academic Affairs and Student Life
-- The Committee on Finance, Business and Capital Planning
-- The Committee on Governance and Long-Range Planning
-- The Committee on Audit, Risk, Legal and Compliance
-- The Committee on Outreach, Development and Community Relations
More recently, in May, we held several elections for trustee members, and set a record for alumni participation. For me, this was a powerful demonstration of the inclusiveness and resolve of the Board and Penn State community in addressing our current issues and preparing for future excellence. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I welcome and congratulate our four new members: Donald G. Cotner, elected by delegates from agriculture societies; and Anthony P. Lubrano, Ryan J. McCombie and Adam J. Taliaferro, who were elected by alumni. We are excited for the new perspectives and ideas they will bring -- and we embrace the democratic process that helps ensure diversity and open communication.
Also this summer, we expect the results of the Freeh Report to be released. The University already has begun acting on preliminary recommendations of the independent internal review, which was initiated last November when the Board of Trustees appointed former FBI director and federal judge Louis Freeh to handle the investigation. Specifically, Penn State now has begun an employee education initiative for mandated reporter training. This training, for employees and volunteers who work with minors, teaches how to recognize the signs of child abuse as well as how to report abuse. In addition, Penn State has instituted more stringent and routine background checks for employees, and has hired a full-time compliance officer to support the Clery Act, a federal crime-reporting law for schools.
Finally, the Alumni Association released Thursday the results of its recent alumni opinion survey, which was conducted via a random statistical sample of alumni and can be found on the Alumni Association's website at http://alumni.psu.edu/researchandreports online. These results will provide important guidance to the Board in better understanding the thoughts and concerns of our alumni as we all work to move forward. I encourage you, too, to review the results at your convenience.
Guided by President Erickson's leadership, we look forward to working with the Penn State community to continue leading the nation with top-notch academics, breakthrough research and our long-standing commitment to service -- the foundations of our University for the past 157 years.
We are mindful that Penn State is the most popular university in the country, with more than 121,000 applications for the 2011–2012 school year. We also rank among the nation's top universities in industry-sponsored and defense-related research, with total research expenditures exceeding $804 million in 2011, including funding from government, industry, and other sources. Perhaps most importantly, Penn State continues to turn out high-caliber graduates -- the University was ranked first among 100 colleges, including several Ivy League schools, in a 2010 Wall Street Journal survey of top recruiters from companies across the United States. And in March 2012, for the second straight year, employers surveyed by Bloomberg Businessweek ranked the Penn State Smeal College of Business as having the best undergraduate business program in the country.
As I share my monthly website updates on the Board's progress, I am hopeful that our ongoing dialogue with you -- Penn State's dedicated and proud alumni -- will help us to deepen and strengthen the work that continues to make Penn State a national leader.

Synovial cell sarcoma in dogs
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I have a 7-year-old German Shepard. He just had swelling on right elbow removed, and biopsy showed synovial sarcoma (grade 1). I'm distressed and don't know what to do. My vet suggested amputating the leg - which I'm not really in favor of. Could you tell me please, what is the best course of action? Is amputation necessary or are there any other methods? What could I do to prolong my dog's life without suffering?
Lili Duda, VMD, Editor of the OncoLink Veterinary Oncology Section Menu, replies:
Synovial cell sarcoma is a rare tumor in dogs. It arises from the connective tissue in and around joints. These tumors are very invasive locally, and have the potential for metastasis (spread) to draining lymph nodes and lungs. Grading of the biopsy sample does have some prognostic significance, with grade I tumors being the least likely to metastasize elsewhere, and grade III tumors being very likely to metastasize. Other special staining techniques of the biopsy sample (specifically cytokeratin) might also be useful but are only available at certain diagnostic laboratories.
Wide surgical excision, which means amputation, is by far the best chance for local control of the tumor. Smaller, more localized surgeries do not work, because it is the joint that is affected, so the joint must be removed in order to remove the entire tumor. In addition, these tumors can be painful, and amputation is the best way to remove the source of pain. Radiation therapy in conjunction with pain medication might offer temporary palliation (relief) of the pain but will not provide long-term control of the tumor. For tumors that have already metastasized, radiation therapy can still provide pain palliation. The effectiveness of chemotherapy is unknown, but may provide some palliation or delay the progression of metastasis.

School bus crash in Lebanon, no children injured
LEBANON, Maine (AP) � Maine State Police say no children have been injured in a school bus crash in Lebanon.
Steve McCausland of the state Public Safety Department says the bus collided with a car on Route 202 on Tuesday morning. The drivers of the bus and car suffered minor injuries.
Trooper Matthew Williams said there were seven children between the ages of 6 and 11 on the bus at the time.
Williams said the bus driver, 47-year-old John Chanley of Berwick, drove the bus onto Route 202 from Creamery Hill Road and into the path of the oncoming car. That driver was 46-year-old Kim Scott of Lebanon.
The bus is owned by the school district serving Berwick and Lebanon.

A Michigan man burned the New Jersey state flag to protest Gov. Chris Christie's decision to have flags flown at half mast on Saturday for Whitney Houston.
Houston, a New Jersey native, was laid to rest Saturday after being found dead in a Beverly Hills hotel room a week prior.
John Burri burned the state flag because he said the honor should be reserved for the military, according to ABC News.
"They're watering down the term of what a true hero is these days," John Burri told ABC News. "I thought it was offensive to every family's fallen solider out there, and it cheapens the meaning of lowering the flag."
Burri said that the flag burning at his Wyoming, Mich., home was part of an effort to honor his son, Army Spc. Eric Burri, who died in an explosion while one tour in Iraq in 2005.
"Sometimes, you have to do something drastic and extreme for people to listen," Burri said. "I just hope it made a point that maybe someone will pick this up and get a new law made for flag etiquette."

Futures depend on markets
Staff writer
The two top factors influencing 2013 crop markets will be the weather and potential for rebound in demand, which diminished last year with high prices, which were driven by the drought, Daniel O'Brien told growers at the Agriculture Information Meeting in Marion.
"It all depends on what the market does," the Kansas State University grain expert said. "If we continue to have a high demand, then we'll have to produce enough to meet it. If that changes, though, who knows what we could see as far as prices are concerned. The projection just shows the expectation for the market. If the demand varies, you could see different results."
O'Brien said growers can start to see prices dropping in 2013, but said that could change if the demand or supply shifts from the expected projections. Using graphs and charts, O'Brien showed area crop farmers how the market right now is unpredictable, and suggests that growers to either wait to sell their crops until there was some more insurance or to divide the equity that they have.
"Don't count all of your chickens before they hatch," he said. "Sell some of your crops now if you can, but also hold some back and sell in a couple months when we might have a better idea what the futures look like down the road."
He said a lot still depends on how much wind and dry wind the area receives in the next coming months.
"We had some good moisture," he said. "But it might not be enough if we have an especially dry season again this year."
But that's not all farmers have to watch out for. O'Brien said farmers should expect to see more global competition — and that growers should pay attention to what is happening to the crops in other countries, like Brazil and Australia. On a related note, he said if projection holds out for this year, Brazil will surpass the U.S. in soybean production and become the No. 1 soybean producer in the world.
"If other countries have a poor yield, then the prices are going to reflect that," he said. "We're not just dealing locally. We have to look on a global scale as well."
Crop futures
Wheat currently sits at $7.40, as of the close of the day on Monday. Corn futures sit at $7.11 and soybeans at $14.79 for the May market.

Statement by the National Institutes of Health on the Perkin-Elmer-TIGR DNA Sequencing Proposal
Statement by the National Institutes of Health on the Perkin-Elmer-TIGR DNA Sequencing Proposal
May 1998
The Human Genome Project (HGP) is a 15-year effort begun in 1990 to characterize the full set of genetic instructions (called the genome) of the human and other model organisms. The federal government supports human genome programs at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Energy (DOE).
The HGP operates from a plan of established goals to complete different levels of genome characterization, including gene mapping, mapping of genetic markers, developing sets of overlapping DNA pieces that span the entire genome, and identifying the order, or sequence, of each of the 3 billion subunits of human DNA. In its seven-and-a-half year history, the project has met virtually all of its goals on time (sometimes sooner) and on or under budget.
Other important goals include developing new strategies for analyzing the function of the human genome, for identifying genetic contributions to complex, multi-gene traits or diseases, studying human genetic variation, developing powerful bioinformatics tools, and, equally important, addressing the ethical, legal and social implications of these newfound abilities to decipher personal genetic information.
The HGP has always relied heavily on input from the scientific community to ensure that genome tools best fit the needs of the greater community. One of its primary goals is to produce a complete, high-quality human DNA sequence as a tool with which scientists can make the widest range of investigations into biology, medicine and other research areas. To achieve that, four important requirements for human DNA sequence have emerged: 1) The sequence must be accurate, that is, the DNA spellings must be correct. HGP sequencing programs will include quality assurance steps to ensure accuracy of 99.99 percent or better. 2) Large-scale sequencing relies on the accurate assembly of smaller lengths of sequenced DNA into longer, genomic-scale pieces, so DNA coming from the project will be assembled into pieces several hundred thousand base pairs long that reflect the original genomic DNA. 3) Because human DNA sequence must also be affordable, focus on technology development is needed to reduce cost as much as possible. 4) Finally, high-quality, finished human DNA sequence should be available to the entire research community, so the genome project has introduced policies to make all sequence accessible within 24 hours through public databases.
Throughout each of its research areas, development of newer, cheaper and more powerful technologies has been encouraged, stimulated and indeed required. The recent announcement by Perkin-Elmer and The Institute for Genome Research (TIGR) of a new approach to DNA sequencing offers interesting opportunities for large-scale DNA sequencing. The investment of substantial funds in this effort reaffirms the enormous value of HGP products. Because the announcement is new, it is not yet known what role the new technology will play over the long term in providing the publicly available, detailed, "A-to-Z" instruction book ultimately promised by the HGP. Project leaders at the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Energy look forward to close cooperation with Perkin-Elmer and TIGR as the new initiative is scaled up over the next few years.
Finally, development and introduction of any new technology that can rapidly decipher human genetic information, even in the research laboratory, highlights the continued need for protections against abuses of genetic information obtained from individuals or their family members. While such technologies are essential to fulfill the promise of the HGP and genomic medicine, they will serve us best when people feel free to avail themselves of health care technologies without fear of discrimination or stigmatization.

From the Oklahoman, Michael McNutt, Feb. 23, 2013
Nearly 200 people attend a rally Saturday at the Oklahoma Capitol in Oklahoma City to support Oklahoma House Bill 1556 by Rep. Paul Wesselhoft, R-Moore, that would place regulations on the use of drones in the state.
Joanne Francisco, one of several people who came to a state Capitol rally Saturday with a face mask, said the encroachment of government on
her 4th Amendment right to privacy, such as the possible use of drones to spy on individuals, is a growing concern.
"Government is getting too intrusive, nosy,"
said Francisco, of Tulsa. "How do we know when our rights have been infringed upon? We can see a peeping Tom outside our window, but we
can't necessarily see when we're being spied on by a drone."
The article highlights statements by Ryan Kiesel, Director of the Oklahoma ACLU, Amie Stepanovich, legal counsel for the Electronic Privacy Information Center and an expert in government surveillance, and Amanda Teegarden, Exec. Director of OK-SAFE, Oklahomans for Sovereignty and Free Enterprise.
Oklahoma has three important privacy protecting bill active this session. All of them need some grassroots support to help ensure that they become law.
Please see our action items on HB1556, HB1557 and HB1559 covering privacy protections regarding drones, phones and RFID chips;

Many people who have
cystic fibrosis have low bone density, because
they have problems absorbing
vitamin D and
calcium, which are necessary for strong and healthy
bones. Low bone density can make a person who has cystic fibrosis more
likely to have bone fractures or to develop
osteopenia or
osteoporosis in adulthood.
dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) tests can check the
density and strength of your bones.
Spending small amounts of time in the sun,
exercising, taking vitamins, and eating nutritious foods can help prevent bone
People who have cystic fibrosis may also have painful
or swollen joints (arthralgia or
arthritis) from time to time. Often these joint
problems do not last more than a week and any pain can usually be treated with

You've identified a bug in a MinGW package, and you've developed a solution to correct the defect. So, how do you submit that solution, for inclusion in MinGW?
All user proposed modifications or enhancements to MinGW are subject to review and approval by the project administrators, and the project development team. By following the guidelines set out below, you will give your solution its best chance of being adopted, in a timely fashion.
- 'Base your Solution on Current Source Code, from the Official CVS Repository
First you must determine where the Official CVS Repository for the package you want to submit patches for resides. Each package has its own Official CVS Repository and submitting patches based on up to date source code, from the appropriate CVS Repository, via the appropriate PatchTracker, will get your patch adopted into the source package faster.
Once you've identified the correct CVS Repository, and located the files within it, which you need to modify, you should download clean working copies of each, in preparation for making your changes.
- Keep an Unmodified Reference Copy of Every File you Intend to Modify
If you are working with CVS directly, the CVS Repository serves as your reference copy. Otherwise, you must keep a reference copy of every file you intend to work on; this will be required later, when you create your PatchSet.
How you preserve your reference copy of the downloaded files is a matter of personal preference. A technique, which may be used successfully, employs a pair of distinct but related directories, thus:--
- assuming that you have set up a top level directory called
- download the original copies of the CVS sources into `sandbox/current; (if you are working with a number of files, spread across a number of subdirectories, it may be convenient to replicate the structure of the CVS directory tree under `sandbox/current, and download the source files into their appropriate relative subdirectories, within the `sandbox/current directory tree).
- never modify any of the files you have placed in `sandbox/current, throughout the life time of your work cycle, until you have completed and submitted your patch, and it has passed through the approval process.
- Make a Working Copy of the Files you Intend to Modify
Having established the reference copy of each file you intend to modify, you should then make a second copy, in which you will make your changes. If you have adopted the paired directory technique, described above, and you are using MSYS, then this WorkingCopy can be readily initialised by making `sandbox your current directory, then executing the command:--
( cd current && tar cf - ) | ( cd working && tar xf - )
- Prepare a TestCase
If possible, you should provide a small TestCase program, to demonstrate the validity of your patch. It is typical to use this to illustrate the effect of the defect you have identified, and also to demonstrate how your patch corrects this defect.
You should develop your TestCasebefore you begin work on developing your patch; this way you can develop the TestCase code to properly demonstrate the correct vs. incorrect functionality you are attempting to rectify, and you may avoid falling into the trap of developing a TestCase which serves to better illustrate idiosyncracies of your patch, rather than its correctness.
- Modify and Test your Working Copy of the Affected Source Files
You may use any development tools with which you are comfortable, (provided of course, that MinGW is used as the compiler), to prepare and test the modified code from which your patch will be derived.
Always preserve the coding style of the original files; even if you prefer an alternative style, trying to impose that is a good way to ensure that your patch will be rejected!
Do use the TestCase, which you have already developed -- you have, haven't you? -- to verify correct operation of your modified code,before you proceed to the stage of creating your PatchSet.
- Prepare the PatchSet
A PatchSet should always be created in `diff -u format, with a minimum of three lines of context. Again, if you have adopted the paired directory layout for your workspace, and you are using MSYS, and again assuming that your top level working directory is called `sandbox, (and it is an immediate subdirectory of your $HOME directory), then a very convenient PatchSet may be created by issuing the commands:--
cd ~/sandbox diff -Naur current working > patchfile.diff
(This is convenient foryou, because it captures all of your modifications into a single integrated PatchSet, comprising only one file; it is also convenient for the developer evaluating your patch, because he can apply your changes to his own set of working files, in his `working directory, by issuing the single command:--
patch -p1 < patchfile.diff
- Write a ChangeLog Entry
Providing an appropriate ChangeLog entry will increase the probability that your patch will be accepted. It must be formatted as specified in the GNU Coding Standards; further guidance on writing an acceptable ChangeLog entry may be found here.
- Document your Work
Before submitting your patch, you should prepare documentation on what you have done, describing the defect you have corrected, or the new feature you have implemented; this should be formatted as plain ASCII text.
For missing declarations or import functions in the mingw runtime or w32api it is essential to specify the source of the documentation on which you based your patch, or to otherwise provide proof that you have developed your solution through your own experimental effort. Never resolve an issue by looking at someone else's work (unless it is public domain). We only accept patches based on publicly available documentation, (MSDN is an acceptable source, as is any BSD or similarly licensed source; no GPL or LPGL licensed source is acceptable, unless your patch relates to a MinGW package which is already distributed under one of these licences), or on individual experimental effort, and never based on others' work, (particularly where that work may be proprietary). Note, in particular, that we adopt a much stricter standpoint on extracting information from Microsoft's SDK headers, than that taken by some other projects, such as Wine or ReactOS; consequently we will always reject, unconditionally, patches based on information extracted from files published by such projects.
N.B. -- Failure to honour this requirement will disqualify your patch now, and may limit the usability of patches you submit in the future.
When you implement a new feature, (for example, an implementation of a POSIX function which is not currently supported), you should also provide end user documentation, to explain how it is used in the Win32 environment. This should preferably be in the form of a man page, or a `texinfo' source file. Do not simply copy documentation from a GNU/Linux distribution; while that may be an acceptable source of inspiration, you should adapt it to suit the specifics of your MinGW implementation. `man pages should be provided in original `troff source format, rather than as preformatted ASCII text. Similarly, `texinfo documentation should be provided in `texinfo source format, rather than as preformatted `info files.
- Prepare a PatchSet Package for Submission
While the PatchTracker will allow you to submit any number of separate files, as components of a single patch, you may find it more convenient to prepackage them into a single tarball, for one shot upload. The minimum content you should prepare for upload is:--
- your
- your `ChangeLog.txt file, (assuming you used this name), containing your prepared ChangeLog entry.
- any ASCII text documentation file you have prepared, describing your patch in detail.
- any end user documentation you are providing, in `man page or `texinfo' source format.
- Submitting your Patch
At last, you are ready to submit your patch!
You should now proceed to the PatchTracker and select the Submit New, Add New Artifact, (or whatever new name SourceForge have adopted today) link, at the top left of the main window. Complete the displayed form, providing the following information:--
- the PatchTracker category to which your patch belongs; (select this from the drop down menu).
- an appropriate title for your patch; (type this in the `Summary' field).
- a detailed description of your patch, in the appropriate field; (copy and paste this from the content of the ASCII documentation file you prepared earlier).
- check the box to `Attach and Upload a File', then click the `Browse...' button to locate the tarball you prepared, containing all the files pertaining to your patch.
- That's it. Do not set a group or a priority for your patch, or assign it to any individual; these are the project administrator's responsibility. Simply click the `SUBMIT' button, to complete your submission.

Warm weather means bare feet
At the beach, at the pool or just walking in sandals, it's the season where your feet get to breathe. But how do you keep your feet healthy as you expose them to dangers like athlete's foot and other maladies that can make your feet itch, swell, smell, or just look ugly?
A lot of people tend to ignore their feet, and as a result they expose them to all kinds of infections and problems that can cause them to be both unhealthy and unsightly. The last thing you want during the summer is to be forced to hide your feet because they're red, itchy or inflamed. And let's face it guys, wearing socks with sandals is one quick way to make the 'loser's list' with the ladies.
Proper hygiene and regular inspection of the feet and toes are the first lines of defense against fungal infections.
Clean and dry feet resist disease. Washing the feet with soap and water and remembering to dry thoroughly is the best way to prevent an infection.
Wear shoes that fit well and are made of materials that breathe.
Avoid wearing excessively tight hosiery, which promote moisture. Socks made of synthetic fiber tend to "wick" away moisture faster than cotton or wool socks.
Toenails should be clipped straight across so that the nail does not extend beyond the tip of the toe. Disinfect home pedicure tools. Don't apply polish to nails suspected of infection--those that are red, discolored, or swollen, for example.
Another thing to watch for is the nail salon. As times get tough, some salons are cutting corners on the sterilization of their tools and soaking tubs. Ask your salon attendant if they've washed their equipment before they start working on your feet. Germs and bacteria can grow in the tubs they use to soak your feet, so if it looks dirty, insist they clean it with soap and hot water before they refill it for your session.
Shower shoes should be worn when possible in public areas.
The showers and locker rooms at the gym are breeding grounds for all kinds of fungus and bacteria, but you can fight it if you make sure you dry your feet thoroughly after you shower, and put on a pair of clean socks after your shower.

You constantly talk; to yourself and others. Your "self-talk" creates your feelings, actions and outcomes. With positive "self-talk" you empower your self-esteem, self-confidence and self-image. With negative "self-talk" you destroy it.
Words are powerful: once you say something out loud, it cannot be taken back. Choose your words with care and awareness. Your words can inspire, encourage, heal and prosper or they can devastate yourself or another person. Choose with discernment, because the subconscious doesn't take a joke….it takes everything in.
Most of us have inherited negative patterns, beliefs and values from our upbringing, our environment or from our own choices. Use affirmations and repeat them consistently over 21 days. You create a new pattern or belief system which replaces the old negative pattern. When using affirmations, they must resonate with you. Your words and pictures must create a strong image and feeling for you.
When you combine the words of an affirmation, with your strong emotions, feelings and pictures, you create a powerful dynamic force – it is a new reality and experience.
Napoleon Hill, in his book "Think and Grow Rich" stresses the power of autosuggestion. Tony Robbins highlights the power of "incantations" and credits a lot of his success to reprogramming his brain, belief systems and actions through words linked to powerful states and physiologies.
"Any person who does not know the power of the spoken word is behind the times."
Florence Scovel Shinn
Catherine Ponder shares that by writing out your desires and then picturing them, you create your good on the invisible plane and send out your energy into the universe. Your energy links with creative substance and the universe will fill your order. You must be congruent and believe that you deserve it. Your spoken words of prosperity align with your energy to form and create definite results in the physical world.
"Be definite about your words about prosperity, if you want prosperity to be definite about you! By using prosperity affirmations, you are not trying to make God give you anything. You are only opening your mind to receive the abundance that God has already given you."
"I have a large, steady and permanent financial income now."
"I give thanks for a quick and substantial increase in my financial income now."
Remember, everything is energy. Your thoughts, words, pictures, feelings and actions all attract like energy. What you give out comes back, what goes around comes around. It is a simple game of giving and receiving.
Your spoken words of prosperity, encouragement and success have prospering power for yourself and others.
There is GOLD DUST in the air!
prosperously yours,
🙂 Lee

When I decided to join this tangy, zippy world of blogging, I made two promises: 1. I would not navel-gaze. 2. I would not shill. It took me all of two days to break the navel-gazing vow, but at least now I'm liberated from such a silly rule. This just leaves the rule about shilling, and I'm going to dance all over it, with football cleats.
In fairness, though, I probably shouldn't call it shilling. Shilling implies a certain quid pro quo, e.g. "if you mention how great our chicken Balti kreplachs are, we'll give you free chicken Balti kreplachs for life!" No quid pro quo for me, even though this probably has less to do with my stellar moral fiber than with the fact that no one seems all that interested in bribing me. I would love to admit that I can't be bought by the promise of easy Balti kreplachs, but unfortunately I can't, simply because I've never been able to test the thesis.
Anyone who would like to help me test the thesis, particularly by sending me free foodstuffs, drinkstuffs, books, cd's, dvd's, 1972 Kharmann Ghias, fetish wear from Trash & Vaudeville, stocking stuffers from Toys in Babeland, stock certificates or small parcels of land on the moors of Devon, please do feel free to e-mail me. My sense of integrity and fair game is in your hands. (grin)
So consider this less a shill than an appreciation, a chance to transcend the bonds of TypeList, under which this should be filed, but sometimes a girl just wants to go on at length. (As far as I'm concerned, replace "sometimes" with "more often than not.")
With all of that elegant defense out of the way, you will be undoubtedly pleased to hear that I am about to extol the praises of a magazine that is difficult to find outside of the UK, and its companion book, which is difficult to find outside of the U.S. Another bag of bagels to anyone with the patience to keep reading.
In Tuesday's post I mentioned in passing "the geniuses at Petits Propos Culinaires" without explaining who those geniuses are or what Petits Propos Culinaires is. Bad, pretentious Bakerina. First and foremost, PPC is better known as, uh, PPC. It is a UK-based, digest-sized magazine, all about food, cooking and cookbooks, with articles ranging from the scholarly to the whimsical, sometimes scholarly and whimsical all at once. (Although the essays are filled with impeccable scholarship and the editorial advisory board is filled with respected culinary historians, it is not a peer-reviewed journal.) It is published three times a year by Prospect Books in Devon, under the editorship of the great Tom Jaine. It was founded in 1979 by Alan Davidson (who is also the editor of the Oxford Companion to Food), his wife Jane and the late American food writer Richard Olney, who at the time was working on the Good Cook series for Time-Life Books. One of Time-Life's strictures was that only recipes that had been previously published could be included in the series, a requirement that infuriated Olney. He and the Davidsons conspired to produce a little magazine, in which Olney could publish pseudonymously (so as to throw Time-Life off the scent) the recipes he felt should be included in the Good Cook series, and solicited further assistance from Elizabeth David and Jill Norman, David's editor, friend and literary executor.
For those of us in the U.S., who may have trouble finding PPC in bookshops (although they do offer subscriptions, and they do ship to the U.S.), Ten Speed Press has done us a tremendous service by publishing The Wilder Shores of Gastronomy: 20 Years of the Best Food Writing from the Journal Petits Propos Culinaires. (Yep, that's the one in the TypeList.) I was thrilled to hear that Ten Speed was the publisher, as they take pride in never letting anything on their list go out of print.
It is hard for me to confine myself to what I consider the highlights of Wilder Shores, because, simply put, there is no dross, none at all. All of Richard Olney's essays are here, written under the noms des plumes Nathan d'Aulnay and Tante Ursule. There are essays from Elizabeth David and Jane Grigson, my food-writing heroes. There is a wonderful essay by Su Mei Yu (author of an amazing book of Thai home cooking, Cracking the Coconut) about the beautiful tradition of funeral books in Thailand. When a famous or wealthy person dies, a book is published that contains their biography and any letters they may have written, along with examples of their work; a writer's book will contain excerpts of his or her writing, while a cook's book will contain recipes. These books are distributed to visitors at the funeral service. I have read this essay over and over.
I am also crazy about an essay by Astri Riddervold and Andreas Ropeid about the Norwegian Porridge Feud of 1864-66. I will spare you for now the details of the Norwegian Porridge Feud, but trust me, it is fun stuff. Send me an e or a comment if you're interested. ("What are you reading?" my boss asks me at lunch as I chuckle, nose deep in book. "I'm reading about the Norwegian Porridge Feud of 1864 to 66." He laughs. I continue reading. When I happen to glance up, he has an odd look on his face. "The thing is, Fin," he says, "I never know anymore when you're kidding.")
There is plenty of great stuff in the new issue, PPC #73, July 2003. There is an essay by Francesca Beauman, "Perfect is the Pineapple," about how certain food items become cultural signifiers. There is an essay by David Potter on early recipes for pate a choux, the dough from which cream puffs and eclairs are made. I will be citing this essay in my bibliography when I begin writing my insane culinary study on the history of eggs in baking (believe me, I wish I were being tongue-in-cheek when I say that I am working on such a project). There is an abstract of a doctoral thesis on the use of convenience foods and the skill levels of the cooks who use them (and yes, I was surprised by what I read). But the best thing in there is one of the best food essays I've read in months, if not years: "Going Wild in Urban America." Alastair Bland was a college student, one semester away from graduating with a double degree from U.C. Santa Barbara, when he embarked on what he refers to as, plainly, "My Project," in which he decides to see if he can feed himself only on what he can forage and/or catch around Isla Vista, California, for eighty days. This limited his protein to fish, specifically whatever fish he could spear. Vegetables and herbs came from a friend's garden. Fruit came from the abundant fruit trees in the area, most of which he secured the owners' permission to pick from before picking. Figs became the new staple of his diet, 40 per day for 80 days. When they were good, they were very very good, but when they were bad they made his tongue bleed. Toward the end of his project, he feared that he was going mad, knew that his friends thought he was unhealthiliy obsessed, and fantasized about buying tortillas and beans at the corner market.
All ends well, though: he graduates, his dad comes to pick him up just as a storm blows through and knocks most of the available fruit off the trees, they stop for Mexican food on the way home to San Francisco, his dad says that the project seemed to look good on him. It is a joy to read, right to the last sentence, which I just cannot refrain from quoting:
"I was made, purely and solidly, through to the bone, down to my heart, of the best stuff on earth."
As far as I'm concerned, he still is.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Doctors are more likely to prescribe antibiotics to treat cough in patients who smoke, but smokers get no more benefit from the drugs than non-smokers do, a large study from Europe shows.
People who smoke get more respiratory infections, and are more likely to develop pneumonia, Dr. Naomi Stanton of Cardiff University in Wales and her colleagues note. But the jury's out on whether chronic coughs last longer in smokers than in non-smokers, they add, and there is no evidence on whether smokers will get more benefit from antibiotic treatment for cough than smokers will.
At the same time, bacterial resistance to antibiotics is growing, fueled by at least in part by antibiotic overuse, and encouraging the appearance of bugs that doctors find it more and more difficult to treat.
Stanton and her team looked at more than 2,500 patients in 13 countries who had coughs lasting 28 days or less to investigate whether primary care providers would be more likely to prescribe antibiotics for smokers. Twenty-eight percent of the patients were smokers, 24 percent were ex-smokers and 48 percent had never smoked.
Smokers were more likely to have shortness of breath and wheezing than non-smokers, but symptoms were just as severe, on average, for ex-, non- and current smokers.
Doctors wrote antibiotic prescriptions for 60 percent of smokers, 53 percent of non-smokers, and 51 percent of ex-smokers.
Smokers were also more likely than non-smokers to think that antibiotics would help them if they had a cough lasting for longer than a few days.
Smokers who were prescribed antibiotics didn't recover any faster than those who didn't get the drugs; there also was no difference in the rate of recovery between smokers and non-smokers.
In each of the 13 countries studied, the researchers note, smokers were more likely to receive antibiotics to treat a cough. "This suggests that despite differences in training and practice setting, clinicians may have similar attitudes toward prescribing antibiotics for smokers," they conclude.

AUSTIN — Sen. Wendy Davis of Fort Worth, who is seeking the Democratic nod for governor, is working to raise enough money for a high-dollar general election battle with the expected GOP nominee, Attorney General Greg Abbott.
Davis has been raising money around Texas (including Austin this week) and apparently is headed to New York and Washington next week for fundraisers — one for her campaign, and one for Battleground Texas, which is working to make Texas competitive for Democrats.
Advisers have said she'll need $40 million to compete with Abbott, and there's no way for her to raise that much cash in Texas alone.
Abbott had more than $20 million in the last fundraising report, and he is expected to raise much more.
Davis in her last report, in the wake of her nationally noticed filibuster, had raised about $1.4 million. A day after her official announcement, her campaign said it raised about a half-million additional dollars.
On Monday, she's listed as the scheduled "special guest" at a reception by Battleground Texas. Tickets range from $50 for an individual to $1,000 for an event chair, according to an online listing.
Her Washington fundraiser on Oct. 25, reported earlier by Politico, has ticket levels including $50 for young professionals, $100 for general admission and $500 for the host committee, according to an email invitation. It's cosponsored by her campaign, Battleground Texas and the Lone Star Project, which is headed by her adviser Matt Angle.
Davis previously attended fundraisers in California and Washington.

About Custom Birthday Beer Labels — Old Time Higgins
Old Time Higgins birthday beer labels also work perfectly for mead, hard cider, hefeweizen, lager, stout, and fresh apple juice. They are printed on your choice of coated paper or waterproof vinyl label stock. All stocks print with fine detail, lusciously rich color, and the images are sharp. The vinyl labels are a little bit stretchy which makes them especially easy to apply. The vinyl labels are also very easy to remove from glass containers, and the square shapes are even re-usable: peel them off starting at a corner and pull slowly; save them for another time by putting them back on their carrier sheet. Vinyl beer labels are amazingly durable, they can go in the refrigerator, freezer, and buckets of ice water, but they are not guaranteed to withstand a trip through the dishwasher.

Anthony Bonenfant (18'7") edged Nathan Bonen-fant and Corbin Garry in a 1-2-3 finish against Simbury's top jumpers on Tuesday. Garry (19'4.5") edged the Bonenfants in a sweep at Bristol Central on Thursday.
Stephen Barmore beat anyone who faced him in both meets with wins in the 100m (11.0, 11.13), the 200m (22.6, 22.87), and the 400m (52.2, 51.75).
This week, the boys faced their toughest test of the season with dual meets against Simsbury and Bristol Central but passed with flying colors. At 5-0, Southington is proving to be the team to beat in the CCC West and one of the better teams in the region.
"I've been talking about it all season with the guys. This was a big week," said Blue Knight coach Matt Shea. "These are two powerhouses. We set it up like this for a reason, and they proved themselves."
Against Simsbury, the win came on the track. Joe Pappalardo, Nick Garcia, Colin Murphy, and Sean Garrison set the stage with a win in the 4x800m (8:29.8), and the Knights never looked back.
"Their 4x800m is always good, but our guys took it. That really set the tone for the whole meet," said Shea. "It carried over to our sprinters, our jumpers, and everyone else. It just kept flowing from there, and you can see that in the end result."
The Bonenfants teamed with Tyler Hyde and Jarrid Grimmett to win the 4x100m (46.1). Barmore swept the sprints, and Garcia captured the 3200m (10:11.1).
Southington did well in the field events with a long jump sweep. Travis Daly (42'9.75") won the shot put, and Grimmett won the high jump (5'6") but it was the track that sealed the 85-65 win.
"Our throwers didn't have the best meet, so it was on the track that we really won," said Shea. "That was interesting. It was our sprinters that took over—Barmore, Grimmett. They scored a lot of good points for us, and that's what we needed."
Two days later, Shea pitted his team in a non-conference battle against the Rams to see how his Knights would fare on tired legs. Soutington captured the title in 11 of the 18 events and cruised to an 84-66 win.
"I knew that we were going to be down a little bit after going full throttle against Simsbury. The guys were sore, but there were no excuses," said Shea. "They wanted to go out and prove themselves. Who wants to win the conference but still end up with a loss in their record?"
Once again, Barmore swept his events, but he wasn't the only sprinter to have success. Charles Morelli (16.65) captured the 100m hurdles. Mike Sullivan won the 300m hurdles (43.58), and the 4x100m relay (45.37) pared more than .5 seconds off their previous mark.
Ben Gibbons won the 800m (2:03). Mike Sullivan, Anthony Oliva, Barmore, and Dan Parzych captured the 4x400m (3:41), and the Knights won three of the six events in the field. Matt Bennett (44') won the shot put, and Grimmett (6') won the high jump. Now, Shea is looking to stay focused down the stretch as the Knights aim at a CCC title.
"Staying healthy is the most important thing," he said. "This is the point in the season where our winning can start to go to our heads, so we have to train harder. This is where we have to put the grind in."
