Early May, a Thursday: We had purchased and removed 80 boxes of books from a scholar's library in Villanova and brought them back to my house in Chestnut Hill. Since I specialize in old and rare books, and this collection held recent hardbacks and trade paperbacks, I did not plan on having them with me very long.
We laid out some boards on the floor of the carport, covered them with tarpaulins and set the books on them. We wrapped the tarps around the books carefully. It would probably take a week of full days to go through the boxes and do several levels of sorting to determine where the books went next. With my laptop computer and wireless Internet, I could work in the carport. No sense handling 80 boxes more than twice. Hah.
On Saturday the first horrendous rains of May came hurling from the sky. Even with tarps, the books were not safe outside. High humidity curls pages, especially those of paperbacks. Every drop in the condition of a book causes a dip in value.
The books needed to be moved, but I was the only one home. As a farmer would do before a hailstorm, if cornstalks were portable, I brought all 80 boxes inside and stacked them throughout my living room and dining room. Just for a day or two, I told myself – till the rain lets up. Hah, again.
First we needed to check each book against the range of asking prices on Amazon Books. We would keep some of the books to sell on the Internet. Others we would sell at heavy discount to another Internet dealer. It takes us an hour of labor to sell a book on the Internet. (Handling it, listing it, managing correspondence, collecting payment, processing the order, wrapping the package, and dropping it at the post office). Our base point for what we decide to keep, usually, is $40.
Two-thirds of that amount goes into the cost of the book, the listing fees, the sales commissions, office supplies, utilities, and so on. We can't earn enough selling cheaper books on the Internet. Especially since, on average, it takes about five years to sell about half the books. In this case, with the professor's library, we kept about three boxes – out of 80. Not a great average.
The larger group we formed consisted of books we would sell to Harvest Book Company in Fort Washington. They'd offer them on Amazon Books for $5 on up. Eugene Okamoto, of Harvest Books, and I have a friendly and long-standing business relationship. I called and gave him a heads-up. As quickly as I could process the books at home (about 200 books a day), I brought them to his loading dock. Four trips over six days and he had 49 boxes from me.
Fingers crossed – I never can predict how many of my books Harvest will take. The Internet is a monstrous beast we all try to keep fed, never knowing what its appetite will be like on any given day.
At Harvest an employee scans the barcodes on the books, gets an instant reading from Amazon books that says something like:
"There are 26 copies of this book for sale on the Internet, between $12.00 and $30.00. We suggest you price your copy at $11.25." Using their own protocols, Harvest decides to buy or pass.
If they buy, they pay me 22 cents on the dollar. Not much, but like the "Seven and a half cents" song in "The Pajama Game," it adds up if you've got a lot of books to sell. (And while I wish the number were higher, I also know that Harvest Books is not a charity and its staff is down from around 40 to about 8 people nowadays, even though they are just about the biggest and most successful Internet seller of used books on the East Coast.
(These are rough days in the used book world, almost equivalent to the LP-to-CD shift two decades ago, as the reading population switches over to e-books.)
The books Harvest doesn't keep will be returned or recycled. Because I was so personally involved with this "professor's library," I said I wanted to retrieve their rejects. So, nine boxes came back home.
Time for some math. Of the original 80 boxes, we kept three for our own business, sold (net) 40 boxes to Harvest, kept two for reading. There were still 35 boxes of books – wonderful, clean, interesting, stimulating books – but worth just about nothing on the Internet. I don't have a shop anymore, so the dollar-table outlet was not possible. I knew I'd be giving a lot of them to charity, but I was very involved in following through on the "Big Bang" idea concerning the dispersal of these books.
Memorial Day weekend I held a garage sale. A lot of work for a little money, but also a lot of fun because you get to meet and talk to the buyers. One of the highlights of the sale, in addition to meeting some people who say they read my column (thank you), was the sudden appearance of Molly Russakoff, owner of Molly's Books and Records on 9th Street in the Italian Market. I'd heard of her, but not met her before. She is charming, loves books, is a poet and memoirist herself, and has a voracious appetite for books. She bought four cartons of books, mostly poetry, fiction, and philosophy for her store.
Overall, I probably sold about 500 books at the sale. Right now, Memorial Day afternoon, about 200 remain, all sitting neatly boxed at the curb, a big "Free" sign in front of them. Every once in a while I hear a car pull up and I glance out the window and see someone happily browsing, as pleased with the selections, I hope, as the prices. Whatever isn't taken will go to charities.
This four-part series began as an attempt to explain to my fellow book lovers what happens to our precious libraries nowadays when we have to give them up. Yesterday, concerning the professor's books, I examined our sales records thus far, called Eugene Okamoto about his, and talked to a lot of people at the sale this weekend.
The results so far: Some of the professor's books now stand on other persons' shelves in four different Texas cities. Others of his books went to Iowa City, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio, California, Florida, and Kentucky. We have also sold some to New Zealand, France, and Brazil.
Hundreds of the professor's books now reside in homes in Chestnut Hill, Wyndmoor, Plymouth Meeting, and Mt. Airy. About 150 of them are now for sale in the Italian market at Molly's Books and Records. Several dozen are also on the night tables of the Gilmore family bedroom. The dispersion goes on.
It's sad, in a way, isn't it, the fate of our libraries? And yet, it's comforting to know that the very human hunger for knowledge and wisdom continues. And good to know that others will use the professor's books to carry on their own personal quests to understand the world. We all do what we can. I'm very proud to have played a part in helping the professor continue teaching.

text: I like answering these types of questions with numbers, so in my Sept 2007 Linux magazine column (which should be showing up on the website soon) I did the following. Downloaded the latest NAS benchmarks written in both OpenMP and MPI. Ran them both on an 8 core Clovertown (dual socket) system (multiple times) and reported the following results: Test OpenMP MPI gcc/gfortran 4.2 LAM 7.1.2 ------------------------------------ CG 790.6 739.1 EP 166.5 162.8 FT 3535.9 2090.8 IS 51.1 122.5 LU 5620.5 5168.8 MG 1616.0 2046.2 My conclusion, it was a draw of sorts. The article was basically looking at the lazy assumption that threads (OpenMP) are always better than MPI on a SMP machine. I'm going to re-run the tests using Harpertowns real soon, maybe try other compilers and MPI versions. It is easy to do.

Long John Silver tribute act
Yes, I know - all politicos are economical with the actualité. But what this election is underlining is that the Lib Dems are in a league of their own.
Last night Clegg came out with a string of jaw-dropping porkies.
First, challenged by Cam over the LDs' amnesty for illegal immigrants, he said:
"I don't want you to be misled by David Cameron. I'm not advocating an amnesty."No? In that case why does the LD manifesto say:
"We will allow people who have been in Britain without the correct papers for ten years, but speak English, have a clean record and want to live here long-term to earn their citizenship."Because you see, Mr Clegg, that's an amnesty - an amnesty for people who are in Britain illegally.
It got worse, when Clegg tried to hit back at Cam. He said:
"David Cameron says you can put a cap on immigration. It is complete nonsense, since he knows that 80% of people who come into this country come from the European Union. You can't cap those numbers, so you shouldn't pretend to people, give them false hope that you can bring numbers down when you can't control them in that way. It's wrong to raise false hopes on such a sensitive topic."80% from Europe? Really?
But how on earth does that square with the official numbers from the Office for National Statistics that we blogged just yesterday? Because those numbers tell us that the proportion is just 25% over the last decade, 50% over the last 5 years, and 40% over the last year for which the ONS has full data (2008). The very latest stats from the International Passenger Survey say it fell to just 34% over the most recent year (to mid-2009). All way short of the 80% waved around by Clegg.
Indeed, so egregious was this particular porkie that St Vince had to go on R4 Today this morning to explain it. Except that he couldn't. Instead, he came up with some shifty blather about Clegg using a different unofficial definition of immigration, and taking the 80% number from some article he read in a magazine. Shocking stuff from a Saint of the Realm (and listen to Tim Harford demolishing the LD stats here).
And then of course, there's the Euro. Lifelong europhile Clegg told us:
"No, I'm not advocating entry into the Euro, I'd only advocate it, by the way, if ever, if the economic conditions were right, if it was good for your jobs, good for pensions, good for savings."Except of course, if the Lib Dems had been in power in 1999, we'd already be members of the Euro, stuck on the kebab skewer right alongside the PIGs. In their 1997 manifesto they promised they'd:
"Participate in a successful single currency. Being part of a successful single currency will bring low inflation and low interest rates. Staying out will result in less investment and a loss of influence."No mention of that last night.
As Tyler has been discovering in the local campaign, the LDs may look clean, but they fight real dirty. They major on gross distortions of what their opponents say and do, and make contradictory policy promises to different groups of voters.
For years they've managed to get away with it, but only because they've never seriously been in contention at the national level.
Now they are in contention, we are getting a good look at just how shifty they are.
Can you just imagine how they'd cope with government? With their half-baked policies built on their distorted half-truths, we'd be calling in the IMF within weeks.
It simply doesn't bear thinking about.

We have all these great features now but we are going to have to wait years for them to go mainstream so we can utilize them without hacks. I hate writing browser specific code. Its twice as much work.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel continues to reach out to aid refugees of the ongoing Syrian civil war, this time by sending assistance to refugee camps in Bulgaria.
The Israeli NGO umbrella group IsraAID last week dispatched a delegation to Bulgaria to help deal with the influx of Syrian refugees arriving in the eastern European nation via neighboring Turkey.
There are currently about 11,000 Syrian refugees living in three camps in Bulgaria, including two camps in the capital of Sofia. Conditions in the camps are cramped, with minimal access to public services and rampant poor hygiene.
The Bulgarian government recently called for international assistance in dealing with the Syrian refugees, and IsraAID was one of the few to answer the call. The Israeli delegation departed with food and other essential supplies, as well as a team of psychologists who will provide care for trauma victims.
The Israeli psychologists will also run workshops for local social workers in Sofia so they, too, can assist in caring for the trauma victims.
Israel has also provided aid to Syrian refugees congregating in neighboring Jordan, in addition to the well-publicized provision of medical care to any and all Syrians who show up wounded or in need of help at the Israeli border in the Golan Heights.

Reporting by ChildFund Brasil
During January's 31 days, we've made a blog stop in all 31 countries where we serve children, thanks to the generous support of our sponsors and donors. On our final day, we meet Wagner Oliveira, an accomplished teacher who attributes his success to sponsorship and ChildFund Brasil.
From the age of 4 until age 20, Wagner Oliveira was enrolled in ChildFund Brasil's Projeto União. "Today, I have a broader vision of the world, and I owe this to the project," he says. "Here is where I started. The project contributed to my formation because it encouraged me to study…. "I learned to value my friends and interact with people."
Now 37, Wagner teaches at several schools in the city of Fortaleza/Ceara, Brazil. "If I grew up with education, I must give education," he says. He counsels children to grab hold of education and do their best to overcome adversity. "You're much stronger than you think," he advises young people. "You have no idea how strong you are. Be stronger than your problems."
Wagner also has a message for ChildFund sponsors: "You have the privilege of being part of the group that will build a better future."

Pat Kambesis, assistant director of WKU's Hoffman Environmental Research Institute, has just returned from southeast Asia, where she led a team of 11 volunteers from the United States and Canada to map the Deer Cave System at Gunung Mulu National Park in Sarawak, Borneo.
The project, conducted over a 10-day period, was under the direction of park manager Brian Clark. WKU geoscience graduate student Josh Brewer of Bowling Green also participated in the project.
One of the main objectives of the project was to document the size and length of Deer Cave accurately, as it contains one of the largest cave passages in the world. A combination of total-station type survey methods and standard cave survey techniques were used to measure width, height, and volume of cave passages and to georeference in-cave features accurately.
"Pat's international expertise in karst mapping has provided significant learning opportunities for students, resource managers and other academics," noted Geography and Geology Department Head David Keeling. "The Hoffman Institute's international reach is made possible by engaging faculty and students in a variety of research experiences that aim to improve management decision making and ultimately overall quality of life."
Deer Cave had originally been documented by E.G. Wilson's 1961 survey for the Malaysian Geological Survey. In the late 1970s, a Royal Geographic Society (UK) sponsored expedition conducted the first survey and map of the cave documenting 1.75 kilometers (1.2 miles) of passage.
The 2009 survey effort increased the known passage length to 4.1 kilometers (2.5 miles) and connected Langs Cave, another show cave within the park, to the Deer Cave System. Maximum passage width of Deer Cave System documented in this effort was 168.7 meters (553 feet) and ceiling heights averaged well over 120 meters (394 feet). The main entrance of Deer Cave was measured at 146 meters (478 feet) and the Garden of Eden Entrance was measured to be 140 meters (450 feet) in width.
The survey revealed the existence of an undescended 305 meter-deep shaft (Deer Cave Aven), which places it among the three deepest in southeast Asia. The highest elevation cave passage (and probably the oldest) in the system was the Antler Passage measured at 226 meters (741 feet) above the main cave trail.
Other cave statistics such as average cave width, height and volume will be calculated from the data collected during the effort. In addition, a new detailed map will be produced, as well as a 3-D model of the cave system. Park management will be able to use these maps for cave resource and infrastructure management, and for interpretation and educational displays in a new visitors center that is under construction.

GREENSBORO, February 5, 2014 – Three-year starter Lewis Kindle played his last snap at quarterback for North Carolina A&T on Nov. 23, 2013, leaving open the inquiry of who will be the Aggies quarterback of the future.
Head coach Rod Broadway and his staff addressed that need and many others on National Signing Day with national letters of intent from 16 future Aggies, including three new quarterbacks. The Aggies also signed four defensive backs, three linebackers, two wide receivers, a defensive lineman, offensive lineman, running back and long snapper.
"Compared to where we were three years ago in terms of talent and in terms of numbers, we're excited about this class" said A&T head coach Rod Broadway. "We met our needs, and we brought in a bunch of young men who can really run. We're becoming a very fast football team."
A&T's quarterback signees are Frank Foster (6-foot, 200, Valhalla HS, El Cajon, Calif.), Hasaan Klugh (6-3, 185, Central Cabarras, Concord, N.C.) and Lamar Raynard (6-5, 190, Andrews, High Point, N.C.). A&T decided to bring in some experience at the quarterback position with signing of Foster. Foster attended Southwestern College for two years where he threw for 2,338 yards and 18 touchdowns, while completing 63 percent of his passes in 2013. He was also second in the American Mountain Conference with 10 rushing touchdowns, and earned second-team All-AMC honors.
Klugh played in the 2013 Shrine Bowl that features the best high school players from North Carolina against the best from South Carolina. He is a two-time All-South Piedmont selection and compiled 2,387 yards and 34 touchdowns in total offense in 2013. Klugh earned 885 of those yards on the ground as he scored 11 rushing touchdowns.
Raynard completed 61 percent of his passes and threw for 2,168 yards and 29 touchdowns. Raynard led Andrews to an 18-14 win over Monroe in the NCHSAA 2-AA state title game with a 38-yard touchdown pass with 1:02 remaining in the contest. The game-winning drive occurred even though Andrews did not have a timeout.
"Our plan going in was to get one older quarterback and two younger ones," said Broadway. "I thought we picked up some talented players at that position."
At the defensive back position the Aggies signed Tyshawn Siders (5-9, 175, Jacksonville HS, Jacksonville, N.C.), Timadre Abram (5-10, 165, Kathleen HS, Lakeland, Fla.), Amos Williams (5-8, 180, Walton HS, DeFuniak Springs, Fla.) and Jamaal Darden (5-10, 185, Hoke County HS, Raeford, N.C.).
Siders intercepted five passes and returned two for touchdowns in 2013. He also returned a kick and caught a pass for a touchdown. He was a two-sport star at Jacksonville High School, earning All-Coastal 3-A honors three times in track and field and once in football. His personal-best in the 100 meters is 10.47 and 21.3 in the 200 meters.
Abram played four varsity seasons under head coach Irving Strickland. In 2013 he intercepted four passes, had eight passes defended and 42 tackles. He is a two-time All-Polk County performer and earned honorable mention accolades from the Florida Athletic Coaches Association. His cousin is Florida State starting fullback Chad Abram and his father played at Grambling State.
Williams played four varsity seasons under head coach Jimmy Raye Stephens. As a quarterback, he threw for 1,200 yards and rushed for 800. He was honorable mention all-state in Florida and honorable mention All-Panhandle. Darden rushed for 495 yards and five touchdowns and made 92 tackles defensively. The three sports star – football, wrestling and track and field – earned All-Southeastern 4A Conference honors twice in football.
Deion Jones (6-1, 230, South Point HS, Belmont, N.C.), Joshua Patrick (6-0, 230, Southwest Dekalb HS, Decatur, Ga.), Courtney Edmonds (6-3, 200, Graham HS, Graham, N.C.) are the linebackers of the class. Jones is a two-time All-Big South performer and was named All-Gaston Gazette after the 2013 season. His 211 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, three sacks, two forced fumbles, four interceptions and 11 passes defended helped South Point to a 13-1 record and spot in the state 3-A quarterfinals.
Patrick initially signed with Memphis out of Southwest Dekalb where he was named first-team All-Region 6 5-A after recording 79 solo tackles, 10 tackles for loss and two sacks. He also intercepted a pass, recovered a fumble and scored two touchdowns. He was a Dekalb County All-Star as a senior. Edmonds made 73 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and intercepted three passes in 2013. On offense, he caught 21 passes for 355 yards and two touchdowns.
Broadway expressed excitement about the group of wide receivers the Aggies signed. Khris Gardin (5-8, 160, Freedom HS, Morganton, N.C.) and Malik Wilson (6-0, 175, Eastern Alamance HS, Burlington, N.C.) will add speed to the Aggies offense. Gardin caught 55 passes for 1,033 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2013. Eight of his touchdowns were of 50 yards or more as he was named News Herald Burke County Player of the Year. He set school records with 143 receptions, 2,512 yards and 32 touchdowns in his career.
Wilson made 38 receptions for 782 yards and seven touchdowns last season. The previous season, he had 34 receptions for 849 yards and 15 touchdowns. He set the school's single-season record for total touchdowns with 18 as a junior.
Defensive lineman Julian McKnight (6-3, 275, Rockdale County HS, Conyers, Ga.), offensive lineman Shawn Best (6-3, 320, New Bern HS, New Bern, N.C.), running back Marquell Cartwright (5-9, 190, Andrews, High Point, N.C.) and long snapper Austin Venable (5-10, 220, Southern Guilford, Greensboro, N.C.) round out the class.
McKnight had 44 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, six sacks and three forced fumbles as a senior. He was first-team All-Region 2 6-A and first-team All-Rockdale County. McKnight was also selected to the National Underclassmen All-South Classic All-Star and the Florida vs. Georgia High School All-Star Games.
Best was selected to play in the 2013 Shrine Bowl. He can bench press 365 pounds and graded out at 90 percent for the season, tops at New Bern High School. Cartwright carried the ball 233 times for 2,650 yards and 38 touchdowns. Was named Mr. 2-A Football" by North Carolina Preps and was selected to the Shrine Bowl. He was named state championship game MVP after leading Andrews to the 2-AA title over Monroe.
Venable will look to come in and replace two-year Aggies long snapper Aaron Massey.
"We had a plan going in and we decided to stick with that plan," said Broadway. "Sometimes when you stick with your plan, you miss out on some outstanding players. And we miss out on some great players, but I think it's important to fill the positions you need and we did that. It's a really good class."

DP Technology: "Change Before You Have To"
Please note that contributed articles, blog entries, and comments posted on MCADcafe.com are the views and opinion of the author and do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of the management and staff of Internet Business Systems and its subsidiary web-sites.
A few weeks ago, I got acquainted with a CAM company that previously I had little exposure to or experience with – DP Technology. I was invited to the company's World Conference 2008 in Denver, Colorado and spent a couple of days getting to know the company, its products, and some of its customers. I came away from the event impressed with just about everything I saw and heard, as well as a better understanding of the CAM industry in general and where DP Technology and its product line are heading. The experience was educational and insightful.
DP Technology Corp is a privately held company co-founded in 1982 by Daniel Frayssinet, who is the current CEO, and Paul Ricard, who is the current president. The company gets its name from the first names of the co-founders – (D)an and (P)aul. The company's corporate headquarters is in Camarillo, California. The rest of the company is structured by function with offices in France, Germany, Italy, China, and Japan. DP Technology is the developer of the diverse ESPRIT CAM system sold and supported via the company's regional offices and its network of resellers throughout the world. It also has close partnerships with several of the leading milling, turning, and EDM
machine manufacturers, such as Mori Seiki, Mazak, Citizen, and Sodick. An interesting aside is the fact that in Japan, Mori Seiki has over 10,000 of its machines connected to the Internet for troubleshooting and software update purposes.
DP Technology develops CAM software for a full range of machine tool applications. ESPRIT, DP Technology's flagship product line, is a full-spectrum programming system for milling, turning, wire EDM, and multitasking machine tools. ESPRIT's data exchange functionality reads data from most native formats, including Autodesk Inventor, CATIA, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, NX, ACIS, and Pro/ENGINEER. DP Technology also provides complementary add-ins for several CAD programs. ESPRIT literally gets its name from the French noun, esprit de corps, that translates to spirit of a body of persons or group spirit; sense of pride, honor, etc. shared by those in the same group or undertaking. Pretty
interesting origin for naming a product line, but seems appropriate in this case.
DP Technology continually reinforces its commitment to its technology and customers by dedicating approximately 20% of its annual revenues to ongoing product research and development. DP Technology currently has two patents pending on the technology embodied within ESPRIT. The products I saw demonstrated at the world Event all looked very Windows-compliant with a friendly UI and well-documented, meaning that they are probably relatively easy to learn and use. As a matter of fact, I spoke briefly with DP Technology's CEO on this topic, and he said that one of the company's main goals was ease of use, and greatly reducing the learning curve, which he said is usually on the
order of a year or more for most competing CAM products.
I spoke with DP Technology's VP of marketing and R&D, Chuck Matthews, and when asked about the state of the CAM market, he said that it is largely fragmented into three distinct segments – hardcore CNC programmers who code CNC machines for their companies; integrated CAD/CAM vendors, such as Dassault, PTC, and Siemens PLM Software; and independent CAM vendors, such as DP Technology, Mastercam, and Gibbs & Associates (now owned by Cimatron). He said each has its own advantages, but thought that the dedicated efforts that independent companies specializing in CAM bring the most to the table, and obviously, he felt that DP Technology had the ability to serve up the most
impressive and satisfying course.
In his keynote presentation, CEO, Dan Frayssinet inferred that working with an independent CAM vendor is the way to go. He said, "Don't continually reinvent the wheel when it comes to CAM software. Rent it, buy it, license it, share it – use it in a better way. He said, with regard to manufacturers, "Adopt appropriate technology and change before you have to based on what your competition is doing." He also shared data from a company survey that showed that an amazing 99% of DP Technology's ESPRIT customers were satisfied with product quality, functionality, and technical support. An enviable sentiment in anyone's book.
Program any Machine Tool, Machine any Part Geometry
The company says that its ESPRIT system provides programming for virtually any CNC machine tool. ESPRIT's full-spectrum functionality includes programming for 2-5 axis milling, 2-22 axis turning, 2-5 axis wire EDM, multitasking mill-turn machining, and B-axis machine tools. The company also claims that its ESPRIT system is valued by CNC programmers for its extensive suite of machining cycles, comprehensive tool control, and capacity to fully support an entire shop.
ESPRIT's CAD to CAM interface directly imports just about any native part model from any source, fully intact, with no need for programmers to edit or rebuild geometry. ESPRIT directly machines from any combination of geometries — solids, surfaces, wireframe, or STL. Starting with complete and accurate part geometry eliminates nearly all of the difficulty in programming complicated parts and dramatically reduces programming time. These all add up to huge time savers, because CAM can be quite a bit different than CAD, and machine programming is often more practiced art than learned science.
Another vital part of the CAM puzzle is ESPRIT's universal post processor that creates the G-code needed to fully exploit any machine tool. ESPRIT provides out-of-the-box operation with a complete library of pre-defined post processors. Additional factory-certified posts are available for most leading machine tool brands, and ESPRIT's open architecture lets you adjust any post processor to suit your personal preferences and shopfloor requirements.
Dynamic Solid Simulation and Verification
As big a deal as simulation and verification are in the CAD world, these abilities are just as important in the CAM world, as well – in some cases more important because physical tools and stock material are expensive items. ESPRIT's dynamic solid verification eliminates the need for expensive dry runs on an NC machine. Machining processes have a higher probability of succeeding because you can compare accurately rendered "as designed " versus "as machined" parts. ESPRIT's real-time simulation and comprehensive collision detection ensure that even the most complex of parts will be machined correctly the first time. ESPRIT provides verification
information of a part program simulated within a complete machining environment, including elements such as machine tool, fixtures, clamps, stock, and workpiece. This ability to simulate and verify minimizes downtime, maximizes manufacturing efficiency, and cuts machining costs while validating comprehensive machining processes.
The ESPRIT Product Line
ESPRIT is DP Technology's Parasolid-based family of CAM software products for programming CNC (computer numerical control) machine tools, and includes:
ESPRIT SolidMill for 2-5 axis milling machines
ESPRIT can be used for quick jobs, yet can also handle complex production milling work. Whether programming 2 1/2-axis parts or 5-axis machining, ESPRIT provides the programming power and the ease-of-use necessary for getting the job done. ESPRIT automatically generates optimized toolpaths, minimizing cycle time.
ESPRIT SolidMill Production adds 5-axis machining capability to ESPRIT's milling cycles. Programmers can use multiple fixture offset with local or global work coordinates to machine any part face, using any ESPRIT machining cycle.
ESPRIT rotary milling is performed directly from the 3D features of solid models or from flat 2D features. ESPRIT programs rotary contouring, pocketing and drilling utilizing a simultaneous 4th axis. ESPRIT converts one of the standard 3-axis movements (X, Y, or Z) into a rotary C-axis movement, wrapping the profile around a rotary axis and employing an optional Y-axis offset for straight walls.
ESPRIT's pocketing cycle provides full tool control and extensive automation for roughing and finishing pockets. ESPRIT can dramatically simplify programming whether machining straight-forward squares or complex pockets with irregular boundaries, multi-level islands, and multiple bosses and sub-pockets. The variety of pocket machining and finishing patterns provided by ESPRIT yields virtually unlimited options for pocket milling.
ESPRIT SolidTurn for single or multi turret/spindle turning
Traditional turning centers are being rapidly supplemented by multi-axis machines with the ability to produce complex parts unattended. Whether you are looking for a CAM system to automate traditional turning – from roughing and grooving to threading and finishing – for faster, more accurate results, or to maximize multi-axis machine tools.
Multi-axis Swiss-style turning centers can be programmed with ESPRIT for realizing their potential for single set-up, unattended machining. ESPRIT accommodates the special demands of of Swiss machines and creates programs that take full advantage of Swiss-style capabilities with comprehensive tool path creation, simulation, collision detection, and accurate G-code generation.

* Cut Paper Thanksgiving Dinner
"E" (age 8) had to plan a Thanksgiving dinner
as one of her November projects for school this month.
I thought she would just make a seating chart,
write a menu, and maybe copy a recipe.
Nope... she wanted to make a full-size reproduction
of our Thanksgiving table so that's just what she's been working on
for the past three weeks. She finished it this weekend and it's adorable.
She used brown contractor's paper to roll out a table
and made all of the plates and cut paper food out of scrap-booking paper
and construction paper. She even made place cards for
each family member, water glasses out of watercolor paper,
and little forks, knives, spoons out of gold paper.
Here are some peaches stuffed with sweet potatoes and stuffing.
She even asked us to trace our hands and sign on the "tablecloth" just like we do
at my mom's house every year.
Signing the table cloth for my niece's first thanksgiving (2009).
Here's my favorite part.
Her kid's meal for my niece.
Check out the cotton ball mashed potatoes and the crinkly paper crackers!
Happy Thanksgiving!

(I think it should be okay to write posts that aren't in English.You don't have to read them.)
Das Problem mit Text in anderen Sprachen ist, dass man ihn nicht versteht. Und wenn man etwas nicht versteht, neigt man dazu es zu meiden. Und das führt dazu, dass keiner einen solchen Planet liest.

Re: Well
while i wouldn't have a problm if you posted this in your blog on a planet, i do have a problem if you decide to post something directly to me in a language i do not speak without providing a translation.
Posted by | October 12, 2007, 10:32 pm
Re: Well
The problem with text in other languages is that one doesn't understand it. And if one doesn't understand something, one tends to avoid it. And that leads to nobody reading such a planet.
(I'm not the one who posted the original German, I'm just translating it.)

Inderdaad. De Nederlanders duwen hun posts tenminste op planet.nl.gnome.org. Dan hebben anderen daar geen last van.

Hold on
Nice post and all, but he wasn't saying english is the one true language. He was saying maybe there is a way to seperate planets by language without duplicate posts so that people who read a certain language could read that.
Posted by | October 12, 2007, 9:43 pm
Re: Hold on
i don't understand.
you can create separate planets for other languages. if the people who speak x language want to set that up, more power to them, there's nothing stopping them. they haven't, i'm guessing because each language lacks a critical mass. does that mean those voices shouldn't be heard? i don't think so.
Posted by | October 12, 2007, 10:33 pm
Re: Hold on
ps nothing stopping you from setting up a 'downstream' english-only planet.
Posted by | October 12, 2007, 10:36 pm
I'm not Lennart but I think that when you find that half the daily posts are in a different language from English it's time to set up localized planets.
Posted by | October 12, 2007, 10:38 pm
then do that. nobody is stopping you. set up your own english only version of planet.fpo.

Past policy?
And what about past policy? My blog at http://danilo.segan.org/ has been bilingual (Serbian and English) from the very start, but Jeff asked me to filter only for English entries for inclusion in the Planet GNOME (I notice that you are probably talking about Planet Fedora, but you are being syndicated to both :).
It may seem as if everybody else is circumventing the policy by posting entries in different languages after they were already added to the Planet.
It's not that I mind entries in different languages at all, though (and, there is a Serbian planet I have set up :).
Anyway, I think it's just about people wanting to fight over something, so any reason is as good as any other (politics, language, …), as long as planets are considered "public commodity".

A re-translation of your English translation to Japanese:
This is not a literal translation (especially the second sentence), but it sounds more natural to me (a native Japanese speaker).
Posted by | October 14, 2007, 5:33 pm
There are times when I understand Lennart's point (when I fell helpless in front of a post in Chinese or Japanese) but there are times when I feel tempted to blog in my native language (Romanian), a temptation I *usually* resist.
On top of that, my blog is aggregated on a couple of English Planet sites and also on one Romanian one… (I think I'll talk some guys for some more Romanian aggregators, we don't have yet a Romanian Fedora planet)
I am not happy with tagging either: for a general interest article, addressed to both English and Romanian readers, what am I supposed to do? Post twice, in both languages and tag appropriately? Is a lot of redundant work.
Not use tags, put in the same post both the English and Romanian text? Then it may be noticed only by those understanding only the language of the first half.
Conclusion? For now I focus on English speakers and the Romanians knowing English, I have no better solution.
Do you remember your recent post about minorities and frustration? The frustration of being in a language minority is real.

fish, the "friendly interactive shell", is a "user friendly commandline shell intended mostly for interactive use".

- 3 Troubleshooting
- 4 Tips and tricks
- 4.1 Not setting fish as default shell
- 4.2 Setting fish as default shell
- 4.3 Disable greeting
- 4.4 Make su launch fish
- 4.5 Start X at login
- 4.6 Use liquidprompt
- 4.7 Put git status in prompt
- 4.8 Evaluate ssh-agent
- 4.9 The "command not found" hook
- 4.10 Remove a process from the list of jobs
- 4.11 Quickly set a persistent alias
- 5 See also
Install the fish package. Alternatively install the fish-gitAUR package for the development version.
To make fish the default shell, see Shell#Changing your default shell; however, you should consider #Not setting fish as default shell.
Once installed simply type
fish to drop into the fish shell.
Documentation can be found by typing
help from fish; it will be opened in a web browser. It is recommended to read at least the "Syntax overview" section, since fish's syntax is different from many other shells.
User configurations for fish are located at
~/.config/fish/config.fish. Adding commands or functions to the file will execute/define them when opening a terminal, similar to
Web interface
The fish prompt and terminal colors can be set with the interactive web interface:
Selected settings are written to your personal configuration file. You can also view defined functions and your history.
Command completion
fish can generate autocompletions from man pages. Completions are written to
~/.config/fish/generated_completions/ and can be generated by calling:
You can also define your own completions in
~/.config/fish/completions/. See
/usr/share/fish/completions/ for a few examples.
Context-aware completions for Arch Linux-specific commands like pacman, pacman-key, makepkg, cower, pbget, pacmatic are built into fish, since the policy of the fish development is to include all the existent completions in the upstream tarball. The memory management is clever enough to avoid any negative impact on resources.
History substitution
Fish does not implement history substitution (e.g.
sudo !!), and the fish developers have said that they do not plan to. Still, this is an essential piece of many users' workflow. Reddit user, crossroads1112, created a function that regains some of the functionality of history substitution and with another syntax. The function is on github and instructions are included as comments in it. There is a forked version that is closer to the original syntax and allows for
command !! if you specify the command in the helper function.
Other alternatives to regaining the
command !! syntax can be found on Fish' github wiki. The examples here include e.g. the
bind_bang function which expands
!! to the latest command in the history (this will of course make it impossible to do to bangs in a row as they will expand). Another option is the command given on this github issue.
Tips and tricks
Not setting fish as default shell
In Arch, some shell scripts are written for Bash and are not fully compatible with fish. Not setting fish as system wide or user default allows the Bash scripts to run on startup, ensures the environment variables are set correctly, and generally reduces the issues associated with using a non-Bash compatible terminal like fish. You may see some script errors if your default shell is set as fish. Below are several options for using fish without setting it as your default shell.
Modify .bashrc to drop into fish
Keep your default shell as Bash and simply add the line
exec fish to the appropriate Bash#Configuration files, such as
.bashrc. This will allow Bash to properly source
/etc/profile and all files in
/etc/profile.d. Because fish replaces the Bash process, exiting fish will also exit the terminal. Compared to the following options, this is the most universal solution, since it works both on a local machine and on a SSH server.
- In this setup, use
bash --norcto manually enter Bash without executing the commands from
~/.bashrcwhich would run
exec fishand drop back into fish.
- To color the hostname in the prompt differently in SSH mode, here in bright red, one can use the line
if [ -n "$SSH_TTY" ]; then exec fish -C 'set -g fish_color_host brred'; else exec fish; fiin the Bash configuration file instead of simply
exec fish.
Use terminal emulator options
Another option is to open your terminal emulator with a command line option that executes fish. For most terminals this is the
-e switch, so for example, to open gnome-terminal using fish, change your shortcut to use:
gnome-terminal -e fish
With LilyTerm and other light terminal emulators that do not support setting the shell it would look like this:
SHELL=/usr/bin/fish lilyterm
You can also set fish as the default shell for the terminal in the terminal's configuration or for a terminal profile if your terminal emulator has a profiles feature.
Whenever you open your terminal emulator, you will be dropped into fish.
Use terminal multiplexer options
To set fish as the shell started in tmux, put this into your
set-option -g default-shell "/usr/bin/fish"
Whenever you run tmux, you will be dropped into fish.
Setting fish as default shell
If you decide to set fish as your default shell, you may find that you no longer have very much in your path.
You can add a section to your
~/.config/fish/config.fish file that will set your path correctly on login. This is much like
.profile or
.bash_profile as it is only executed for login shells.
if status --is-login set PATH $PATH /usr/bin /sbin end
$MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH. It is a huge amount of work to get a seamless experience with fish as your default shell using this method. A better idea would be #Not setting fish as default shell.
Disable greeting
By default, fish prints a greeting message at startup. To disable it, run
set -U fish_greeting once.
Make su launch fish
If su starts with Bash (because Bash is the default shell), define a function in your fish configuration file:
function su /bin/su --shell=/usr/bin/fish $argv end
Start X at login
Add the following to the bottom of your
# Start X at login if status is-login if test -z "$DISPLAY" -a $XDG_VTNR = 1 exec startx -- -keeptty end end
Use liquidprompt
Liquidprompt is a popular "full-featured & carefully designed adaptive prompt for Bash & Zsh" and has no plans to make it compatible with fish [2]. This project implements it for fish.
Put git status in prompt
If you would like fish to display the branch and dirty status when you are in a git directory, you can add the following to your
# fish git prompt set __fish_git_prompt_showdirtystate 'yes' set __fish_git_prompt_showstashstate 'yes' set __fish_git_prompt_showupstream 'yes' set __fish_git_prompt_color_branch yellow # Status Chars set __fish_git_prompt_char_dirtystate '⚡ ' set __fish_git_prompt_char_stagedstate '→ ' set __fish_git_prompt_char_stashstate '↩ ' set __fish_git_prompt_char_upstream_ahead '↑ ' set __fish_git_prompt_char_upstream_behind '↓ ' function fish_prompt printf '%s@%s %s%s%s%s> ' (whoami) (hostname) (set_color $fish_color_cwd) (prompt_pwd) (set_color normal) (__fish_git_prompt) end
More explanations about the parameters can be found in the fish-shell git.
Evaluate ssh-agent
In fish,
eval (ssh-agent) generate errors due to how variables are set. To work around this, use the csh-style option
$ eval (ssh-agent -c)
The "command not found" hook
pkgfile includes a "command not found" hook that will automatically search the official repositories, when entering an unrecognized command. This hook will be run by default if pkgfile is installed.
Remove a process from the list of jobs
fish terminates any jobs put into the background when fish terminates. To keep a job running after fish terminates, first use the
disown builtin. For example, the following starts
firefox in the background and then disowns it:
$ firefox & $ disown
This means firefox will not be closed when the fish process is closed. See disown(1) in fish for more details.
Quickly set a persistent alias

Author Notes: On Saturday night I give myself permission not to set an alarm. I sleep until I wake up, which is usually within minutes of when an alarm would have rung anyway. Or until the dogs decide this sleeping business has gone on long enough. And since I don't have anyplace I need to be by a particular time, Sunday breakfast tends to be a moveable feast. I read recently that brunch is back. Whatever you call it, this warm custard is perfect for mornings when breakfast verges into lunch. I've also had it for dinner, along with some grilled asparagus.
Maple and bacon have a natural affinity for each other. I added some shallots to the mix because they sweeten beautifully when caramelized. I always have apples on hand for the bunnies, and since I'm the hand that feeds, I see myself as having a few rights. As the season's fruits get better and better, I'll be making this with peaches, with apricots . . . A splop of tart-ish crème fraîche at the end is a perfect finish to the sweet notes of fruit, bacon, and maple. Add a few pinches of smoked paprika to bring it all together.
Serves: 4
4 thick slices of good bacon, 1/2" dice
1 large or 2 small shallots, 1/4" dice
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced
2 ounces dark amber maple syrup, grade B
?2 red apples, peeled, cored, 1/2" dice?
1 tablespoon dark amber maple syrup, grade B
4 large eggs?
8 ounces heavy cream?
Few grinds of pepper?
Soft butter?
Crème fraîche for garnish (optional)?
Pinches of smoked paprika
- I always cook bacon in the oven. It crisps uniformly, and it doesn't make an unholy mess of the stovetop. Too, the oven is ready to bake the custards. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cut bacon strips into 1/2" slices and place in a mixing bowl. Add diced shallots, minced rosemary, and maple syrup. Toss with tongs or with your hands so that everything carries a coat of syrup. Arrange everything on a baking sheet lined with parchment. When bacon is browned and crisp, shallots will also be caramelized, 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly (stick the baking sheet in the fridge for a couple of minutes if you need to). Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees.
- While the bacon is cooking, peel, core, and dice the apples. Rinse out the bowl you used for the bacon, shallots, and syrup, and use it to whisk together the eggs, cream, and pepper. Stir the diced apples.
- When bacon and shallots are done and slightly cooled, stir them into the custard mixture along with their juices/syrup.
- Run a pastry brush over some soft butter and brush the insides of 4 4-ounce ramekins.
- Use a large spoon or a ladle to divide custard among the ramekins. Set ramekins on a baking sheet with a lip all the way around. Fill a large measuring cup or pitcher with very hot tap water. Set the baking sheet in the oven with the front edge hanging off the edge of the rack by an inch or so. Pour hot water into the baking sheet until it almost reaches the lip. You are creating a water bath that will ensure that the center of your custards will be done at the same time as the perimeter. Gently slide the baking sheet the rest of the way into the oven.
- Oven should still be set to 350 degrees. Bake custards for 30-40 minutes. Custards are done when puffed and golden on top, and slightly tender when you tap the surface.
- I use a canning jar lifter to remove custards from a water bath. Remove the custards to a cooling surface. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. If you wish to gild the lilly, top each with a spoonful of crème fraîche and pinches of smoked paprika just before you serve. Serve with some good grilled bread and a fruit salad.
- A note about the water bath: the safest way to remove the baking sheet from the oven is to turn off the heat, and leave the door ajar so that the water can cool. When it reaches a temperature that you feel comfortable handling it, go ahead and carefully carry it to a sink.

Sioux Falls Woman, 45, Arrested for Prostitution
A Sioux Falls woman's encounter with two officers working undercover turned into a prostitution case early Monday.
Officer Sam Clemens says the two Street Crimes officers were in plainclothes and driving an unmarked police car when they saw a woman walking in an alley near 12th Street and Spring Avenue around 1:30am.
The woman looked to be intoxicated and they saw her bend over, so they pulled up alongside her and asked if she was OK.
Clemens says that's when 45-year-old Julie Michele Carter propositioned the officers.
He says she was arrested for prostitution when she tried to get into the back seat of the officers' car.

The Toronto stock market was lower Thursday after a last-minute deal to avert big tax hikes and spending cuts in the U.S. sparked a relief rally on the first trading day of the year.
But buying enthusiasm faded as the deal between the White House and Congress left unsolved several budget measures, mainly government spending cuts.
The S&P/TSX composite index lost 36.67 points to 12,504.1 while the TSX Venture Exchange eased 4.21 points to 1,235.63.
The Canadian dollar edged up 0.01 of a cent to 101.51 cents US.
New York indexes were also weak while traders digested positive jobs data ahead of Friday's non-farm payrolls report for December and looked to the mid-afternoon release of the minutes from the latest U.S. Federal Reserve meeting.
The Dow Jones industrials was down 47.67 points to 13,364.88 as payroll firm ADP reported that the U.S. private sector created 215,000 jobs last month. Economists forecast that Friday's government report would show the economy added 150,000 jobs in December.
Other data showed that more Americans sought unemployment benefits last week, though the winter holidays likely distorted the data for the second straight week.
The Labour Department says weekly applications rose by 10,000 to a seasonally adjusted 372,000. The previous week's total was revised higher.
The Nasdaq composite index was 7.28 points lower to 3,104.98, and the S&P 500 slipped 3.89 points to 1,458.53.
A last-minute deal agreed to by U.S. lawmakers late Tuesday triggered a global market rally on Wednesday, sending the TSX up 107 points and the Dow industrials surged 308 points.
But traders worry that U.S. budget talks could pose a threat to risk appetite for months.
For one thing, while the New Year's Eve deal settled tax rates, the deal only postponed automatic spending cuts to defence and domestic programs for two months. And it doesn't include any significant deficit-cutting agreement, meaning the country still doesn't have a long-term plan on how to curb spending.
On top of that, the U.S. government also faces what are likely to be tough negotiations over raising the country's debt limit in February.
Worries about further political wrangling pushed the U.S. dollar higher against many currencies, helping to depress some commodity prices, which also racked up solid gains Wednesday.
That is because a stronger greenback makes it more expensive for holders of other currencies to buy oil and metals which are dollar-denominated.
The energy sector lost 0.5 per cent as the February crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange gave back 32 cents to US$92.80 a barrel. Suncor Energy (TSX:SU) lost 21 cents to C$33.20.
February bullion lost $10.90 to US$1,677.90 an ounce, pushing the gold sector down almost one per cent. Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G) faded 45 cents to C$36.50.
The base metals sector declined 0.6 per cent with March copper unchanged at US$3.73 a pound. Teck Resources (TSX:TCK.B) declined 30 cents to C$37.20.
All sectors were lower, save for financials and telecoms which registered small gains.
European bourses were mixed with London's FTSE 100 index up 0.08 per cent, Frankfurt's DAX lost 0.25 per cent while the Paris CAC 40 fell 0.44 per cent.
Earlier in Asia, benchmarks in Hong Kong and Sydney rose modestly and crested above the 19-month highs hit Wednesday. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index rose 0.1 per cent while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.7 per cent. Benchmarks in Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines and New Zealand also rose while South Korea's Kospi fell 0.6 per cent.
Markets in Japan and mainland China were closed for extended holidays until Friday.
In corporate news, Brookfield Asset Management (TSX:BAM) and New York-based fund manager Pershing Square have resolved a dispute over General Growth Properties (NYSE:GGP), owner-operator of regional shopping malls in 41 states. Brookfield is the largest shareholder of GGP and Pershing controlled the second-largest block when the dispute between the fund managers arose last summer. Regulatory documents filed Thursday show Pershing has dropped efforts to have General Growth sold and Brookfield has agreed to buy GGP warrants held by Pershing. Brookfield shares dipped five cents to $36.55.
Hormel Foods is buying the Skippy peanut butter product line from Unilever for approximately US$700 million as it looks to strengthen its business overseas and branch out beyond its meat business that includes Spam. Skippy, which debuted in 1932, has 11 varieties of peanut butter products. It is the leading brand in China and is sold in more than 30 other countries.

Those cowls are lovely. If you wet them and let them air dry flat you'll never know you reused the wool.
- 1 February 2013 at 09:19
- Iprefervintage said...
I'm sure only a trained eye would know that you reused the yarn. No big deal at all.
Those are terrific little cowls. I like them much better than a scarf for children because they can't fall off and there is no retucking.

Love these - I'm wanting to crochet a children's cowl, but not having a child handy at the moment not sure how long to make it? Can you tell me roughly how long your 150 stitches made it?

Gorgeous - everything always looks even better made up in multiples & different colours doesn't it! Thanks for Nic's great tip too, I didn't know that.

When Lawrence Golan picks up his baton here at the University of Denver, the musicians in his student orchestra see a genial conductor who corrects their mistakes without raising his voice in frustration.
Yet Mr. Golan is frustrated, not with the musicians, but with a copyright law that does them harm. For 10 years, the music professor has been quietly waging a legal campaign to overturn the statute, which makes it impossibly expensive for smaller orchestras to play certain pieces of music.
Now the case is heading to the U.S. Supreme Court. The high-stakes copyright showdown affects far more than sheet music. The outcome will touch a broad swath of academe for years to come, dictating what materials scholars can use in books and courses without jumping through legal hoops. The law Mr. Golan is trying to overturn has also hobbled libraries' efforts to digitize and share books, films, and music.
The conductor's fight centers on the concept of the public domain, which scholars depend on for teaching and research. When a work enters the public domain, anyone can quote from it, copy it, share it, or republish it without seeking permission or paying royalties.
The dispute that led to Golan v. Holder dates to 1994, when Congress passed a law that moved vast amounts of material from the public domain back behind the firewall of copyright protection. For conductors like Mr. Golan, that step limited access to canonical 20th-century Russian pieces that had been freely played for years.
"It was a shocking change," Mr. Golan says over dinner at a tacos-and-margaritas dive near the University of Denver's mountain-framed campus. "You used to be able to buy Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Stravinsky. All of a sudden, on one day, you couldn't anymore."
Other works once available but now restricted include books by H.G. Wells, Virginia Woolf, and C.S. Lewis; films by Alfred Hitchcock, Federico Fellini, and Jean Renoir; and artwork by M.C. Escher and Pablo Picasso. The U.S. Copyright Office estimated that the works qualifying for copyright restoration "probably number in the millions."
Congress approved the recopyrighting, limited to foreign works, to align U.S. policy with an international copyright treaty. But the Golan plaintiffs—a group that includes educators, performers, and film archivists—argue that bigger principles are at stake. Does Congress have the constitutional right to remove works from the public domain? And if it does, what's stopping it from plucking out even more freely available works?
"If you can't rely on the status of something in the public domain today—that is, if you never know whether Congress is going to act again and yank it out—you're going to be a lot more cautious about doing anything with these materials," says Mr. Golan's lawyer, Anthony Falzone, executive director of the Fair Use Project and a lecturer in law at Stanford Law School. "You really destroy the value and the usefulness of the public domain in a profound way if the rug can be pulled out from under you at any time."
The Radicalization of Golan
Before the rug was yanked out from under him, Mr. Golan had no experience as an activist. He still doesn't seem like one. Outside the orchestra pit, the conductor could pass for an off-duty businessman: trim build, clean-cut dark hair, slacks, waist-length tan jacket. The tenured professor has taught conducting and led the 80-student Lamont Symphony Orchestra at this private university since 2001. Yet he has done little to publicize his cause on campus, at least judging from the reactions of others in the music school one recent evening as the halls buzzed with costumed nuns rehearsing Puccini's Suor Angelica.
"No!" said one professor after hearing that Mr. Golan's case was going to Washington. "Are you making it up?" asked another.
Mr. Golan keeps a low profile as a plaintiff because his life is about music, not litigation. "I would love to have my name go down in history like Arturo Toscanini, for being the greatest conductor of all time," he says.
But because his quest for that glory coincides with a broad shift in the reach of copyright law, he has a better shot at going down in history as the capitalized name atop a Supreme Court opinion studied by future generations of law students.
The son of a violinist in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Mr. Golan was just starting his own professional career when Congress passed the copyright restoration.
The change was surprising from a philosophical point of view: Under copyright law, the Constitution grants authors a limited monopoly over their works as an incentive to promote creativity. Over the years, Congress has often delayed the passage of works into the public domain by lengthening the duration of copyright terms. But removing pieces already there was different, Mr. Golan's lawyers argue, a radical change in what one scholar describes as the basic "physics" of the public domain.
That may sound abstract, but the impact on Mr. Golan was direct. When a work is in the public domain—that Puccini opera, say—an orchestra can buy the sheet music. Symphonies typically cost about $150. And the orchestra can keep those pages forever, preserving the instructions that librarians laboriously pencil into scores. But works under copyright are typically available only for rent. And the cost is significantly higher: about $600 for one performance. With the flip of a switch, the new law restored copyright to thousands of pieces.
For big-city orchestras like the New York Philharmonic, that change is like a "mosquito bite," Mr. Golan says. But Mr. Golan's university ensemble gets only about $4,000 to rent and buy music each year. That means it can perform some copyrighted works but must rely on the public domain for about 80 percent of its repertoire. And $4,000 is relatively generous. Other colleges might have only $500 to spend on music. When the Conductors Guild surveyed its 1,600 members, 70 percent of respondents said they were now priced out of performing pieces previously in the public domain.
Teaching suffers, too. Every year, for example, University of Denver students compete for the honor of playing a concerto, a piece in which the orchestra accompanies a solo instrument. But when a pianist wanted to audition with a piano concerto by Prokofiev, a Russian composer who died in 1953, Mr. Golan was forced to tell her no.
"It's one that any aspiring pianist needs to learn, and to have the experience of actually playing it with orchestra is phenomenal," Mr. Golan says. But "we just didn't have the money in the orchestra budget to pay the rental price."
The problem soon got worse. In 1998, after lobbying by entertainment groups like the Walt Disney Company, Congress passed another law, extending copyrights by 20 years. This Copyright Term Extension Act—mocked by critics as the Mickey Mouse Protection Act—meant that a work would not enter the public domain until up to 70 years after its creator's death.
That legal one-two punch made it hard for Mr. Golan to play both foreign and American works, like Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.
In response to those changes, reform-minded academics at top law schools fought back with multiple lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the statutes. The conductor's tale made him an ideal poster child for their war to protect the public domain.
Reformers suffered a defeat in 2003, when the Supreme Court rejected an online book publisher's challenge of the 20-year extension. In that case, Eldred v. Ashcroft, the court found the change acceptable in part because it had not "altered the traditional contours of copyright protection."
Think of the Golan case as "Eldred, the Sequel." Only this time the question isn't whether Congress can delay works from entering the public domain. It's whether removing works already there is a "bright line" Congress can't cross.
'Fairly Horrible'
If that bright line dims, scholars and librarians will have problems. To understand why, consider the copyright confusion faced by Elizabeth Townsend-Gard.
Ms. Townsend-Gard is an associate professor at Tulane University Law School. As a graduate student in the 1990s, she studied history at the University of California at Los Angeles. Her dissertation was a biography of Vera Brittain, a British author known for her World War I autobiography, Testament of Youth. Ms. Townsend-Gard mined letters, diaries, photos, and other texts for her research. But she worried about getting permission to publish materials she needed, because Ms. Brittain's literary executor, too, was writing a biography of the author.
In 1996 the ground shifted under Ms. Townsend-Gard's feet. At the outset of her research, almost all the works she needed had been in the public domain. When she finished, because of the restoration now under attack by Mr. Golan, almost all those works were under copyright.
She ultimately diversified her project so that it became a comparative biography of many subjects rather than just one. But she also grew fascinated with the copyright complexities surrounding the daily work of historians. Ms. Townsend-Gard ended up going to law school after finishing her Ph.D., and invented a software tool, called the Durationator, designed to tell users the copyright status of any work.
The market of scholars who might need that tool is large. The law at stake in Golan alone potentially affects anyone studying works created or published by non-U.S. authors or publishers from 1923 to 1989. Most of those materials were in the public domain before. Now they are covered by a complicated copyright statute, says Ms. Townsend-Gard.
"For people who work on the 20th century, it's fairly horrible," she says.
Now pull back from the view of an individual scholar, and imagine you are working on one of the numerous projects to make millions of digital books available online. Libraries, archives, Google: Copyright restoration has big consequences for their digitization efforts. Most of those ventures will not publish the full texts of works online unless they are clearly in the public domain in the United States.
But when it comes to a foreign book, figuring out its copyright status can require a mammoth investigation. That's because a work must have been under copyright in its home country to qualify for restoration in the United States, says Kenneth D. Crews, director of the copyright advisory office at Columbia University Libraries. So, for example, when Columbia considers digitizing a rare trove of Chinese books, including many from the 1920s and 1930s of great interest to scholars, its staff must grasp the legal nuances of a country that has gone through a revolution—and a transformation of copyright law—since the books were published. Or must try to, anyway.
And if the law is unclear, the university must decide whether digitization is worth risking a potentially expensive lawsuit should a rights-holder turn up later.
"It's deterring digitization on anything foreign," Ms. Townsend-Gard says, "because people can't figure it out."
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit took a different view. In a 2010 ruling backing the government, it stressed the argument that recopyrighting foreign works that had fallen into our public domain was crucial to protecting American authors' interests abroad. Our restoration of those copyrights could drive other countries to grant retroactive copyrights to contemporary American works that had fallen into their public domains.
And big money is at stake. The court quoted Congressional testimony from the mid-1990s in which a group representing publishers, record companies, and other copyright-based industries estimated that billions were being lost each year because foreign countries were failing to provide copyright protections to U.S.-originated works. The recording industry told lawmakers that there were "vastly more U.S. works currently unprotected in foreign markets than foreign ones here."
The government, in its Supreme Court brief, pointed out that the copyright restorations were limited in scope. They applied to foreign works whose creators weren't familiar with U.S. copyright procedures, for example. Other works restored were previously ineligible for protection.
The Supreme Court is expected to decide the case during the term that begins in October. Mr. Golan hopes to be in Washington to watch. Unless, that is, he has a concert to conduct.

James Hinchcliffe says he learns something every time he gets to get behind the wheel of his Verizon IndyCar Series car.
Because of that, he's been relishing his role as one of the two drivers tabbed by Honda to conduct manufacturer aero kit testing for the car that will debut in the 2018 Verizon IndyCar Series season.
Thursday's test at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was Hinchcliffe's latest learning opportunity and the first test of the new car at Indianapolis since it made its public debut there in July.
CLICK IT: 2018 Indy car Testing at Indianapolis
"On ovals, it's been such a smooth transition (from the previous car)," said Hinchcliffe, who won the pole for the 100th Indianapolis 500 in 2016. "INDYCAR has done such a good job getting the balance right and getting the downforce level correct, that for us it's just a matter of finding out what this car likes and what makes it tick."
Hinchcliffe along with Scott Dixon of Chip Ganassi Racing were meant to spend a full day of testing on the famed 2.5-mile oval. But cool morning temperatures kept the pair off of the track until just after noon. Still the drivers were able to run productive laps until 6 p.m, with each logging more than 130 laps for the day, according to information provided by Honda.
"It's just about trying to find that happy medium," Dixon said. "We've lost a lot of downforce (from the old car), but I think biggest thing for us is that the weight distribution is moved forward and there's a lot more weight on the front tires. In traffic, it was more difficult, but that's standard. When we come back here next May, we'll know how to make it work mechanically, and it will be very good. But for the first go and working with James, it was all very smooth."
While most of day was spent running individually, the drivers ran a little in tandem to simulate running in traffic.
"Scott and I got to run nose-to-tail a little bit, not a ton, and there's work to do there, but first impressions are really good," Hinchcliffe said.
"One of the big things we're finding with this car is the rate which it is able to close up on the car in front is much faster. I know we have a ton of passing the racing has been great with the old kit and, but that's because he had the cars so good that we could drive into a corner half a car length off the car in front.
"I feel like (this car) will be a different look. (Racing) will look more like it did in the early 90s. You may have more room (between cars) in the corners, but the hole that's punched in front will be bigger. That's going to lead to more passing, and safer passing too. You'll be able to set up passes better and set up more traditional passing. It will be a much better racing car and I think it will be a little bit more forgiving for (the drivers) so it will be safer. It really does check all the boxes."
