I have gotten back into the habit of weighing in weekly on Saturday mornings. I'm not riding specifically to lose weight anymore, but I am losing it again and I finally slipped back out of the clydesdale club. Barely.
I had to drive out to Kansas City yesterday morning, but after that, it was all bike.
I pedaled through Santa Fe Trail Drive to Pflumm, one of the few bike-friendly arterials around. It's quite hilly, but it lacks any highway access, reaching pretty far north and south way into the boonies. Very few places of interest are located alongside Pflumm save for a few little strip malls here and there. Mostly, it's surrounded by residential land and farmland as you travel further south.
I rode through some roadblocks and through a yet-to-be-built development of some kind. I haven't looked at the zoning, but my money is that apartments will go in. There are already 3 substantial shopping centers within a one-mile radius.
Wind, construction machinery or perhaps a rogue car has already knocked one streetlight over.
First stop on the list: Lunch at Fortune Wok -- one of the tastiest westernized Chinese joints in town that I've found.
... in bed! Eeh. It works better with some fortunes than others.
z0mg 1337n355!!1! - It was 1:37PM when I got done fooding.
Sorry, I had to.
Next was the KC PHP User's Group at Daily Dose. While there, I saw the sun reflecting some light off of a windshield in the parking lot, projecting Daily Dose's address onto the wall. I thought it was cool.
Also, while on the topic of 1337n355 I saw this, which I took in December 2005 -- 10 months before I started bike commuting. I thought I was awesome, making sure that the trip meter would read 133.7 miles at the same time that I turned over 100,000.
Why'd I upload a photo of my car's dash? Because, I just looked at it today, and I've only put 18,000 miles on it in two and a half years. Consider the fact that I was still driving the car daily for my 24-mile round trip commute at the start-up company, then daily for a month or so when I started working downtown (45 mile round trip) before I finally started driving to the bus stop instead, which led into my bike/bus commuting days. I could only wish I made note of my odometer more often. It would be interesting to put my two vehicles together and see how many miles my wife and I collectively drive. I'm betting it's somewhere between 5,000 and 8,000 miles per year (mostly my wife's driving to work), if that.
Today, I'm paying for about 100 miles in two days. I know, people who do MS-150, RAGBRAI, Biking Across Kansas not to mention those crazy Randonneur types have no problem with this. I broke a new personal record this week, piling on 248 miles in one seven-day period, and I'm more than on-target for a 750-mile month assuming I ride the full round trip for the remainder of my work days.
Forecasts are varying much between meteorologists, but it doesn't look like this coming week will present many reasons to take the bus, aside from an errand I'll be running Wednesday after work. Depending how I feel, that errand just may be an excuse to pile more miles on. Should I shoot for 800 miles this month? I know I can do it, but I don't know if I want to. I just need 237 more miles, and I have 8 days ahead of me... That would get me within 320 miles of being back on target for 5,000 miles this year, a big chunk taken from the 520-mile deficit I carried into June from miles missed in early Spring. I may actually hit 5,000 miles like I wanted to; it was looking pretty bleak 3 months ago.

Fun weekend
I have gotten back into the habit of weighing in weekly on Saturday mornings. I'm not riding specifically to lose weight anymore, but I am losing it again and I finally slipped back out of the clydesdale club. Barely.

This was a grand weekend!
I finished out last week by riding to work for a fifth consecutive day.
I hadn't managed the pace very well on previous weeks and ended up getting really tapped out by Thursday. Last week I tried to follow your model more closely, (look around, enjoy the ride, socialize...) Man, I was still fresh late in the day on Friday. I had been just cranking it up for maximum speed on individual commutes and didn't even realize that this was draining me down over a couple days time.
I spent the first part of both Saturday and Sunday riding with my four year old daughter. We picked up a Gary Fischer "FreeLoader" (Half-bike) for her to tag-a-long behind my bike. She's pretty serious. We turned for a good 6-7 miles each morning. She weighs in a a slight 36 pounds and I could actually feel her pushing us a long and even helping on some hills.
I'm seriously enjoying your blog Noah. There isn't much about peddling a bike that I have to learn but, you are a great teacher for how to have a lot more fun doing the peddling.
Thanks man.

A lot of times, particularly over a short distance, the bike can be faster than a car. Sometimes -- especially in suburbia where backed-up traffic is less common and arterial roadways with timed lights let people REALLY average 30+ MPH you've got to be trying hard. The only place you make up time is by not having to walk to and from the car, parked further away than your bike would be locked.
Over longer distances like my commute which approaches or exceeds 30 miles round trip depending on the route? Forget being fast. As you've discovered, it's easier, more enjoyable and better for your stress levels to leave a bit earlier, keep your eyes off of your average speed and heart rate; just enjoy the ride.
If you're training, there's a lot of merit in hammering it, working on intervals, or finding some really good hills to climb. For me? I just want to get to work energized, happy, and at practically no cost.
I'm glad you found a way to help make your commute more enjoyable, less tiring, and more consistent.
Truthfully, though, I just take it easy because I'm still out of shape. I use it as an excuse to slow down and take pictures. :P

Noah, great post. Love the 1337 pics. You might be mental but the pics are cool.
I need to make a commitment at some point about riding to work. I think it's cool how much you ride to work and how little mileage you're putting on your car. Well done.

Alright, so today has been a good day (and I didn't even seen 3 red cars in a row).
It's a gorgeous day weatherwise, I busted out some sweet designs, made a pretty decent lunch. The place I work is going to pick up some really sick clients, so that means I'll be working on some really awesome projects AND I just found out two of my images were chosen to show in Pingyao, China for the 2009 International Photography Festival. Which is apparently the "oldest and largest photography exhibition in China," according to this tourism site. (Here are some cool pictures from last years show on a blog I found via google.)
So, if you happen to be around Pingyao between September 19th—26th, take some pictures for me, I'd love to see the show and my work there!
Oh, and here are the two images that were chosen (out of 450, of 100 others):

This ice hovercraft school bus has to be the coolest and worst news ever to descend upon children all over the world. I mean, I would have loved to go to school in one of these spiffy snowspeeders powered by dual fan engines.
But then again, I was like Calvin when the snow paralyzed the life of the city, like it is happening now in some parts of the US: I just loved to stay at home with Hobbes, playing with toys, constructing LEGOs or watching movies while having hot chocolate and cookies. What's going to be for you?

Mumps is an acute and highly contagious viral illness that usually occurs in childhood, but can be caught at any age. Mumps infects the parotid glands (one pair of salivary glands). One of the symptoms of mumps is swelling in the throat and jaw.
Mumps is spread by contact with fluids from the mouth, nose, and throat when a person coughs, sneezes, or talks. The virus can also live on surfaces like doorknobs, eating utensils, and soft drink cans. The virus can be transferred to these items when used by a person who has the mumps. The virus is spread when another person uses these items and then rubs their nose or mouth. The disease usually takes two to three weeks to appear. Cases of mumps in the U.S. have declined dramatically with the introduction of the mumps vaccine.
Many children have no or very mild symptoms. The following are the most common symptoms of mumps. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Discomfort in the salivary glands, especially those in the jaw area, which may become swollen and tender. Some may have difficulty talking and experience an earache.
Difficulty eating and chewing
Muscle aches
Loss of appetite
The symptoms of mumps may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always see your child's health care provider for a diagnosis.
Complications of mumps occur more frequently among adults than children, and may include the following:
Meningitis or encephalitis. Inflammation of the membrane that covers the brain and spinal cord or inflammation of the brain.
Orchitis. Inflammation of the testicle, causing pain and tenderness of the testicles, rarely leads to infertility problems.
Mastitis. Inflammation and tenderness of breast tissue.
Oophoritis. Inflammation of the ovary, which may cause abdominal pain and vomiting.
Pancreatitis. Inflammation of the pancreas.
In addition to a complete medical history and medical examination, your child's health care provider may also take a saliva and/or urinary culture to confirm the diagnosis.
Specific treatment for mumps will be determined by your child's health care provider based on:
Your child's age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the condition
Your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the condition
Your opinion or preference
Treatment is usually limited to pain relievers and plenty of fluids. Sometimes, bed rest is necessary the first few days.
Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) is a childhood combination vaccination against mumps, measles, and rubella. MMR provides immunity for most people. People who have had mumps are immune for life.
Usually, the first dose of the MMR vaccine is administered when a child is 12 months old, and a second dose is given at 4 to 6 years of age. However, if 28 days have passed since the first dose was administered, a second dose may be given before the age of 4.
According to the CDC, children should stay out of school until symptoms have subsided. Both adults and children with mumps symptoms should minimize contact with other people in their homes. Good basic hygiene, such as thorough hand-washing, sneezing or coughing into a tissue or the crook of your elbow, and regularly cleaning frequently touched surfaces, are also important to keep from spreading the disease.
Vidant Health can connect you to health care professionals to help you understand your condition and guide you through the treatment process. Let's chat.

In the nine months or so since a four-team playoff was announced, an ever-growing school of thought was that Cowboys Stadium would play host to the first championship game following the 2014 season.
Next month, that should officially become a reality.
Citing sources familiar with the process, Brett McMurphy of ESPN.com reports that, yes, Cowboys Stadium is a "virtual lock" as the site of the inaugural title game. It appears that most other potential sites saw the writing on the wall as well; Tampa Bay was the only other city to submit a bid, which McMurphy points out was likely an effort to improve its chances of landing future games.
An official announcement is expected during the last full week of April, during a meeting of BCS commissioners.
If this development comes to fruition, the sites for the 2014 playoffs would be set: the two semifinal games in Pasadena, Calif. (Rose Bowl) and New Orleans (Sugar Bowl), on New Year's Day 2015, with Arlington, Tex. (Cowboys Stadium), hosting the title game 11 days later.
The Orange Bowl will host one of the two semifinal games following the 2015 season, with the other site to be determined. The group overseeing the new playoff system will begin taking bids for that season's title game before the end of summer this year.
Also to be determined are the three bowls that will complete the six-bowl rotation that will make up future national semifinals. The Chick-fil-A, Cotton (also at Cowboys Stadium) and Fiesta bowls, though, are expected to join the Orange, Rose and Sugar bowls as part of that rotation.
That announcement is also expected to be made in late April.

Dr. Franklyn Jenifer To Retire As President
of UTD,
University Has Grown Dramatically
During His Tenure
RICHARDSON, Texas (Oct. 2, 2003) - Dr. Franklyn G. Jenifer announced today that he was retiring as president of The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) but would remain in the post until The University of Texas System Board of Regents appoints his successor.
Jenifer, who will turn 65 in March, joined U. T. Dallas as president in 1994. UTD's enrollment has increased more than 61 percent during his tenure - from less than 8,500 students to nearly 14,000 -- and the campus has undergone a dramatic physical transformation as major new facilities have been constructed - including buildings for the School of Management, the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science and the Callier Center for Communication Disorders as well as a Student Activity Center, athletic facilities and hundreds of student apartments.
During the same period, the university has grown in prestige and, in recent years, increasingly been recognized for the high quality of its faculty and students and the administration's unwavering commitment to excellence. UTD has emerged from its standing as what Jenifer often called "the best-kept secret in Texas" and has begun to gain attention outside The Lone Star State for its burgeoning research capabilities, its championship collegiate chess team and such academic innovations as the Eugene McDermott Scholars Program and the Academic Bridge Program.
Jenifer is a nationally respected educator who previously served as president of Howard University in Washington, D.C., as chancellor of higher education in Massachusetts, where he was responsible for 27 public colleges and universities with a total enrollment of approximately 180,000 students, and as vice chancellor of the New Jersey Department of Higher Education, a system composed of 32 public institutions of higher education with an enrollment of nearly a quarter-million students.
"I have had a wonderful and, I believe, fruitful career, and I have very much enjoyed my nearly one decade in Texas," Jenifer said. "But I have reached that point in my life when I would like to spend more time with my family and engage in some of my personal interests, such as reading and writing. The time is right for me, and I think it is right for UTD as well. To ensure that there is an orderly transition, however, I will remain as UTD president until my successor is named and assumes office."
Jenifer, who is only the third president in UTD's 34-year history, said he and his wife, Alfleda, most likely eventually would move back to the northeastern part of the United States to be closer to their three grown children. He said they probably would settle in New Jersey.
Jenifer's announcement today that he plans to retire came three months after UTD reached an historic agreement - called "Project Emmitt" -- with Texas Instruments and the State of Texas that will bring the university as much as $300 million and enable it to move much more quickly toward its goal of becoming a first-tier research institution.
University of Texas System Chancellor Mark Yudof praised Jenifer's leadership of U. T. Dallas and called Jenifer "a sensitive, compassionate and thoughtful man of reason who has been a delight to work with."
"UTD has grown dramatically in both depth and breadth under Dr. Jenifer," Yudof said, "and today it is one of the best universities of its kind - with a growing reputation nationally. It is a place for serious people with serious ideas. Frank oversaw UTD's development from an upper-division school into a full-service university. He will leave The University of Texas at Dallas in an excellent position, both in terms of teaching and research. All of us in the U.T. System recognize and applaud his tremendous leadership and accomplishments for the institution and for the State of Texas."
Yudof said that he and the regents hoped to have Jenifer's successor in place by August 2004, the beginning of the 2004-05 academic year. He said a national search will be conducted by the System to fill what the chancellor called "this critically important position in higher education in Texas."
Charles Miller, chairman of the Board of Regents, echoed Yudof's praise of Jenifer.
"Dr. Jenifer's accomplishments at UTD have been extraordinary," Miller said. "During his tenure, the university has grown tremendously and has become one of the most selective universities in Texas, with average SAT scores of entering freshmen now in the 1225 range. At the same time, UTD has become nationally recognized for its work in such areas as space sciences, audiology, nanotechnology, brain science, telecommunications and sickle cell disease research. Franklyn's decision to make this announcement permits the board to conduct a thorough national search for a new president and an orderly transition at a very important juncture for the university. The entire board is grateful to him for his leadership and for his decision to remain until a successor is named."
That under Jenifer UTD has excelled in such areas should be a surprise to no one, since his background is rooted in scientific research. He received his Bachelor of Science degree and his Master of Science degree, both in microbiology, from Howard University. He was awarded his Ph.D. in plant virology from the University of Maryland and then went to work for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Pioneering Laboratory in Plant Virology in Beltsville, Md.
Jenifer began his career in academia at Rutgers University in New Jersey. He started as an assistant professor of biology at the Livingston College campus in New Brunswick in 1970, became an associate professor the following year and a full professor in 1976. He also served as chairperson of the biology department and as chairperson of the university senate. Later, he served as associate provost at Rutgers' Newark campus.
Through the years, Jenifer has been a member of many distinguished educational, scientific, civic and corporate organizations. He was appointed by then-Gov. George W. Bush to the Texas Science and Technology Council, and he serves on the Board of Directors of ChevronTexaco, Inc., the Board of Directors of the North Texas Commission and the Board of Trustees of the Texas Health Research Institute, as well as the Public Advisory Committee of the Texas Higher Education Opportunity Project. He served as chairman of the American Council on Education, the preeminent national education organization, and on the board of directors of the United Way of Metropolitan Dallas. Jenifer also is a member of the Dallas Citizens Council, the Greater Dallas Chamber of Commerce, the Advisory Council of Jacob's Ladder, the Dallas Center for Performing Arts' President's Advisory Council and the Monitoring Committee for the Louisiana Desegregation Agreement.
Jenifer's contributions to society have brought him many honors and awards. Among them are honorary degrees from Babson College, Boston College, Mount Holyoke College, the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Bowdoin College, Kean College of New Jersey, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and Essex County (N.J.) Community College.
Jenifer has published numerous articles, ranging from writings in scientific journals on plant viruses to newspaper commentaries on such topics as Afrocentricity, residential schools for at-risk youngsters, black entrepreneurship, "political correctness," the academic preparation of student athletes, the enduring value of predominantly black colleges and universities, the aftermath of the Rodney King incident and, most recently, UTD's emergence as a top research institution, tuition deregulation in Texas and the U.S. Supreme Court's rulings this year on affirmative action.
Dr. Murray Leaf, president of UTD's Faculty Senate, said Jenifer's announcement signified both "a sad day for the UTD family and a triumphant day for a great man and wonderful friend who has earned the enrichment of a happy — and, I hope, long - retirement."
"Frank," Leaf said, "has presided over great growth at U. T. Dallas combined with enhanced academic productivity and standards. But important and difficult as this is in itself, what is more important, and what actually underlies it, is a consistently increasing sense of community and community commitment to the highest ideals of education and humanity. He has helped make this a remarkably cohesive academic community, and for that very reason his absence will be felt especially sharply."

In 1969, John and I were so naïve to think that doing the Bed-In would help change the world.
Well, it might have. But at the time, we didn't know.
It was good that we filmed it, though.
The film is powerful now.
What we said then could have been said now.
In fact, there are things that we said then in the film, which may give some encouragement and inspiration to the activists of today. Good luck to us all.
Let's remember WAR IS OVER if we want it.
It's up to us, and nobody else.
John would have wanted to say that.

Of course nostalgia isn't a progressive place. When looking back to the past, it's possible to know the outcome of every action. Progressive actions happen when consequences are yet to be determined. They are insecure, idealistic and defiant. Their success is compounded by, and most likely contingent on, other idealists.
I often take the 60s for granted as a kind of failed parent to our present — I remember for instance, my disdain when America declared The War on Terror. There were protests on Market Street in San Francisco where I lived; since I worked at a gallery downtown, a number of the dissidents came through our doors. Most of them old timers, they seemed enthused and exhilarated, wearing old ponchos with old buttons — costumes from a former life. It brought back the old days, they said, enjoying a renewal of purpose to which I was highly critical. The protests that year felt more like block parties, sequestered as they were to specific streets with police lining the borders between outcry and everyday life; there was no real disruption.
Neither was an alternative supplied: while half of the country (at least) cried out for war, the other dug its heels in, adamantly opposed. The protest parties celebrated opposition without solutions. I wanted someone to come up with another way, a non-violent action — that would mark a good leader, I thought. Even in my financially challenged state, I still had a roof and a car and two jobs. I had a sister who fed me when I couldn't buy groceries. I had access to a world our supposed enemies did not. My parents' hippy friends gave me a bumper sticker that said, "Bomb them with butter." At least that seemed like one new idea. I know I had none.
When soldiers brought the statue of Saddam Hussein down with a crane, we'd been in Iraq for 20 days. There was a sudden euphoria of success and achievement. It became its own short-lived propaganda. "A few minutes after the toppling, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld told reporters,'The scenes of free Iraqis celebrating in the streets, riding American tanks, tearing down the statues of Saddam Hussein in the center of Baghdad are breathtaking. Watching them, one cannot help but think of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Iron Curtain' (The New Yorker). Â We watched it on the news. I remember feeling both impotent and relieved.
"War became the evil pimp and illegitimate master, while society became a terrorized subaltern. War was not just about political domination through physical violence leading to death, but about the exploitation of bodies and minds for financial gain, sexual power, and the censure of our unique capacity  as human beings to engage in abstract thought. As a performer, I understand you to be saying that what makes war terrible is not just that it can kill us, but that it forces us to perform against ourselves — against our will, against our interests, against our values" ( A Field Guide for Female Interrogators, Coco Fusco, Seven Stories Press, 2008). Years later, I pulled into a Pier One parking lot to listen to Cheney's trial being broadcast on the radio. There had been headlines all week about what a creep he was. The rapid cries of infamy as we the people denounced his behavior. He admitted his sanction of torture. All the photos came out with dark men, naked, faces in black hoods, sometimes in piles. The bright burn of a camera flash in a corner as soldiers–men and women both–smiled. We know those pictures. They come from a time when popular ideas about Muslim taboos were bandied around public space like beach balls; every room I was in discussed the terror of war, the stress of soldiers. "How could this thing have happened?" The day was bright and sunny outside. The highway banal and complacent. But  I'd thought everyone knew, like it was in the collective unconscious–I'd known and I didn't even read that much back then. Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib were dark places, beyond citizenship, as though human rights were contingent on state. Of course that torture still exists now — because we are not innocent — and Cheney's presently on a book tour as an advocate of his practice. "If we give up  all efforts to identify and set limits to uses of force and violence, unwarranted, and unmerited," Fusco writes, "we essentially relinquish any agency with regard to politics, and aquiesce to authoritarian control of our lives or those of others" (p. 25).
Yes. It's good Bin Laden is no longer a threat, but I don't think anyone — especially a leader — should ever be proud of murder. It's a terrible thing to have to take someone's life, regardless of the circumstances. Circumstances that lead to such a necessity are all the more heartbreaking, stemming from a desperate responsibility. And here again, I think leaders give us examples of behavior, demonstrating through their address the weight of such a choice, thereby acknowledging the unequivocal meaning of life. Ten years later we are still at war, still shadow boxing. September 11th is still impossible to comprehend. Its tragedies will always remain irrevocable regardless of all subsequent acts, many of which have perpetuated violence: the shadows cast by our way of life. Embedded in my disappointment in the 60s is a tremendous disappointment in the present. The notion of peace seems all the more impossible, just as the emotive potency of war becomes more remote. There is so much to think about and learn from in those old performative gestures of peace–the way in which the media, still naive itself, could not get enough of those crazy kids.

This Holiday, Just Let Your Bauballs Hang Out!
Most of us don't need much prompting to scratch, adjust and outright grope the ol' mansack from time to time. But this holiday, a charity created to fight male cancer is encouraging every dude to regularly check their balls and their Baubaulls.
Yes, Bauballs! Bauballs are plump and shiny holiday ornaments shaped like, you guessed it, a big pair of balls. And boy, can they hang … on the tree.
You can purchase a pair of Baubaulls and help the Orchid organization raise money to fight testicular cancer. The group's site recommends you "decorate your tree with some festive bravado and help a good cause by grabbing or sharing some Bauballs."
Orchid hopes seeing your Bauballs hanging on the tree will remind you to check your own balls -- in the healthy way -- on a regular basis, which they show how to do with a animated gif on their site.

This tutorial will guide you through the creation of various example C++ applications, highlighting important Chromium C++ concepts. This tutorial assumes robust knowledge of C++ (the language) but does not assume you know how to write an application specific to Chromium's style and architecture. This tutorial does assume that you know how to check files out of Chromium's repository.
As always, consider the following resources as of primary importance:
This tutorial does not assume you have read any of the above, though you should feel free to peruse them when necessary. This tutorial will cover information across all of those guides.
Exercise 0: "Hello World!"
This exercise demonstrates the use of the ninja build system to build a simple C++ binary and demonstrates how typical C++ builds are organized within Chromium.
Create a new target in
Sample execution:
$ cd /path/to/chromium/src
$ gclient runhooks
$ ninja -C out/Default hello_world
$ out/Default/hello_world
Hello, world!
AMI: might be confusing how rietveld shows the new file as a copy/diff against an unrelated file.
AMI: output doesn't actually match what's in the solution. Might be confusing.
More information
Part 1: Using command-line arguments
We will augment our
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
CommandLine::Init(argc, argv);
// Main program execution ...
return 0;
Flags are not explicitly defined in Chromium. Instead, we use
GetSwitchValueASCII() and friends to retrieve values passed in.
Important include files
#include "base/command_line.h"
Exercise 1: Using command-line arguments
Part 2: Callbacks and Bind
C++, unlike other languages such as Python, Javascript, or Lisp, has only rudimentary support for callbacks and no support for partial application. However, Chromium has the
AMI: last sentence might benefit from a pointer to refcounting (without which it might be less clear how binding works with copying of bound closures).
// The type of a callback that:
// - Can run only once.
// - Is move-only and non-copyable.
// - Takes no arguments and does not return anything.
// base::OnceClosure is an alias of this type.
// The types of a callback that takes two arguments (a string and a double)
// and returns an int.
base::OnceCallback<int(std::string, double)>
base::RepeatingCallback<int(std::string, double)>
Callbacks are executed by invoking the
void MyFunction1(base::OnceCallback<int(std::string, double)> my_callback) {
// OnceCallback
int result1 = my_callback.Run("my string 1", 1.0);
// Run() can be called as many times as you wish for RepeatingCallback.
int result2 = my_callback.Run("my string 2", 2);
Callbacks are constructed using the
// Declare a function.
void MyFunction(int32 a, double b);
base::OnceCallback<void(double)> my_callback1 = base::BindOnce(&MyFunction, 10);
base::RepeatingCallback<void(double)> my_callback2 = base::BindRepeating(&MyFunction, 10);
// Equivalent to:
// MyFunction(10, 3.5);
Important Include Files
#include "base/bind.h"
#include "base/callback.h"
Exercise 2: Fibonacci closures
Implement a function that returns a callback that takes no arguments and returns successive Fibonacci numbers. That is, a function that can be used like this:
base::RepeatingCallback<int()> fibonacci_closure = MakeFibonacciClosure();
printf("%d\n", fibonacci_closure.Run()); // Prints "1"
printf("%d\n", fibonacci_closure.Run()); // Prints "1"
printf("%d\n", fibonacci_closure.Run()); // Prints "2"
Each returned Fibonacci callback should be independent; running one callback shouldn't affect the result of running another callback. Write a
fibonacci executable that takes an integer argument
n and uses your function to print out the first
n Fibonacci numbers.
(This exercise was inspired by this Go exercise: Function closures.)
Exercise solution
Part 3: Message loops
Chromium's abstraction for event loops is
base::MessageLoop handles running tasks (which are instances of
base::Closure) on the current thread. Given a pointer to the message loop for a thread, you can post tasks on it with
base::MessageLoop::PostTask (or
base::MessageLoop::PostDelayedTask if you want to add a delay).
Normally you wouldn't have to worry about setting up a
base::MessageLoop and keeping it running, since that is automatically done by Chromium's thread classes. However, since the main thread doesn't automatically start off with a
base::MessageLoop, you have to create, pump, and shutdown one yourself if you're writing a new executable. The
base::RunLoop class is the current recommended way of doing that.
#include "base/message_loop/message_loop.h"
Exercise 3: Sleep
Implement the Unix command-line utility
Part 4: Threads and task runners
Chromium's platform-independent abstraction for threads is
Chromium's abstraction for asynchronously running posted tasks is
An important member function of
Important header files
#include "base/task_runner.h"
More information
Exercise 4: Integer factorization
Take the given (slow) function to find a non-trivial factor of a given integer:
bool FindNonTrivialFactor(int n, int* factor) {
// Really naive algorithm.
for (int i = n-1; i >= 2; --i) {
if (n % i == 0) {
*factor = i;
return true;
return false;}

Historic Preservation Commission to hold Public Hearing
COLUMBIA - A public hearing will be held from 7-8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 31, in the City Hall Council Chamber. The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) is seeking public input on Phase I and proposed Phase 2 street improvements on Providence Road, from Turner Avenue to Stadium Boulevard, to include the demolition of eight houses, reconfiguration and construction of signalized intersections on Providence Road and construction of a new residential street in the Grasslands Subdivision between Bingham Road and Burnham Road.
The HPC also requests public input on alternatives to building a residential road between Burnam and Brandon roads. The HPC proposes building a private alley between Bingham and Brandon Road for homeowner use as an alternative to the residential connector road. The intent would be to enhance circulation while preserving as many of the eight properties as possible. The HPC also requests to hear from the public regarding other potential alternatives.
The public will have an opportunity to review and comment on the proposal, any alternatives proposed by the HPC or the public, and the history of the properties. Public comment will be provided to the City Council.

Hello everyone, I have had this problem for quite a while but never thought to come and ask on a forum. I just looked around because I thought it was a simple problem that required a key word in the coding or something. Turns out, I can't find any help anywhere.
My problem is I want to turn a user specified graphic made in a simple JFrame program into a jpeg (or really any 'picture' format) but I don't know how. The way I have saved it is by saving the pixels in the pic into an array that is printed into a text file. So really, my jpeg file is a text file. This runs far too slow because I need to be able to load the pic several times in animations.
Here is the code. It's a very simple, user size specified, black and white checkered pic that is saved into a text file to either be loaded or written over by a new pic the next time you run the program:
/*Hello, welcome to SimplePic. This program: * 1. asks weather you want to create a new pic or load the last pic created. * 2. if you choose to make a new pic, it asks for the width and height in pixels * 3. the program then creates a checkered pic of the specified size (or loads the last pic you made) starting with a black pixel in the top left corner always. *To see the save file, look for a text file called 'picText.txt' in the same folder as this program. It will have 2 numbers for the first 2 lines (width then height), *and then it will have (if word wrap is turned off; it doesn't have to be) a square of letters ababab...representing the pixel array in this program. * *MY MAIN PROBLEM: I want to convert this text file/pic into a jpeg or some kind of picture file so that: * 1. a text file is not necessary * 2. the program loads the pic much faster like it was openning a pic you drew in microsoft paint. *I need this because I want to be able to create this pic, but then load it repeatedly in animations. * *Good luck and thank you. *-Ben */ //needed libraries import javax.swing.JFrame; import java.awt.*; import java.util.*; import java.io.*; public class SimplePic extends JFrame{ //variables private Color c1 = new Color(0,0,0);//black private Color c2 = new Color(255,255,255);//white private char char1 = 'a'; private char char2 = 'b'; private char[][]pixels; private int width,height; private Container contents; //new SimplePic public SimplePic(int xsize,int ysize){ width=xsize; height=ysize; pixels=new char[xsize][ysize]; generatePic(); contents=getContentPane(); setSize(xsize,ysize); setVisible(true); } //load SimplePic public SimplePic(){ super("SimplePic"); loadPic("picText.txt"); contents=getContentPane(); setSize(width,height); setVisible(true); } //generate Pic, creates a fine checkered pic based on remainders when dividing by 2 public void generatePic(){ for(int y=0;y<height;y++){//top to bottom for(int x=0;x<width;x++){//left to right //if x and y coordinate pixel has no remainder, set to black if(x%2==0&&y%2==0){ pixels[x][y]=char1; } //if x coordinate pixel has a remainder of 1, but y does not, set to white if(x%2==1&&y%2==0){ pixels[x][y]=char2; } //if y coordinate pixel has a remainder of 1, but x does not, set to white if(x%2==0&&y%2==1){ pixels[x][y]=char2; } //if x and y coordinate pixel has a remainder of 1, set to black if(x%2==1&&y%2==1){ pixels[x][y]=char1; } } } } //render pic public void paint(Graphics g){ super.paint(g); Color color=c1; for(int y=0;y<height;y++){ for(int x=0;x<width;x++){ //convert char array to colors black and white switch(pixels[x][y]){ case 'a':color=c1;break; case 'b':color=c2;break; } g.setColor(color); g.fillRect(x,y,1,1); } } } //main method public static void main(String[]args){ //i did not bother making any code for input error checking, this is a bare bones example Scanner scan=new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("new pic or load pic?

I think I made it as clear as possible, but if you have any questions, I'd be glad to answer them. I really need this answered.

A Model for the Evaluation of Translations: With an Emphasis on the Stylistic Features
This study is an attempt to provide a framework for the stylistic analysis of the translations. To achieve this, this paper focused on a model proposed by Hasan Ghanzalah(1987) for the stylistic analysis of the original text. Based on his model, I tried to come to a model for the evaluations of the translations in terms of the stylistic features. To make my study more objective and to provide evidence for the proposed model, I focused on the story "The Catcher in the Rye" written by J. D. Salinger (1951) in which the stylistic features have prime importance. It is hoped this model of translation evaluation in terms of stylistic features will be useful for the translators and evaluators of the translations.

Sunday, July 29th Cubs minor league report. Tennessee was off on Sunday.
The AZL Cubs lost to the AZL Reds 7-3. Dillon Maples made his much anticipated debut on Sunday, giving up one run in one pitched. He stuggled with his command walking two and throwing a wild pitch, but struck out one and got out of a tough jam with a double play. Paul Blackburn pitched 2.1 innings, giving up two hits, no runs, and striking out two. Chad Martin took the loss, giving up three runs in his one inning of work. Our nightly watch of Albert Almora and Jorge Soler was on again. Almora went 1-for-4 and Soler was 2-for-3 with a double and two runs scored. Trevor Gretzky and Carlos Penalver each had two hits with Penalver driving one in. Daniel Lockhart also had an RBI.
Boise got one in the third, which proved to be enough beating Tri-City 1-0. Ian Dickson started and pitched weel allowing no runs on three hits in five innings pitched. He also walked two and struck four. Hunter Ackerman was outstanding in relief picking up his first save. He struck out six in just four innings and allowed only one hit. Gioskar Amaya hit his fifth home run of the year and ended the day 2-for-3. Rock Shoulder also had two hits, including a double and after a slow start his average is now up to .271. Jeimer Candelario added a hit and Marco Hernadnez had a double in the game as well. Lets hope the pitching continues down this path as that is two 1-0 wins in a row.
Peoria scored nine in the first three innings and held on to beat Beloit 10-6. The offense led the way in this one. Dustin Geiger was 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBIs. Pin-Chieh Chen was 3-for-3 with a run scored and two RBIs. Unbelievably, Javier Baez only had one hit, but he did drive in two and score one. Wes Darvill also had two hits and drove a run in and Chadd Krist also had an RBI. Larry Suarez got the win in relief for Peoria striking out three in 1.2 innings pitched and Bryce Shafer closed out the game pitching a scoreless ninth. Lets see if Peoria can keep playing well going forward.
A six run fifth helped Daytona win this shootout 12-7. The Cubs had a lot of nice games at the plate on Sunday. Ronald Torreyes went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBIs. Rafael Lopez had two hits, including his second home run of the season. Elieser Bonne was 3-for-3 with a double, a run scored, and an RBI. Leadoff man John Andreoli had two hits, stole three bases (40), and scored three runs. Matt Loosen wasn't at his on Sunday, but it was good enough for him to improve his record to 10-3. He gave up five runs, four earned on six hits in five innings pitched. AJ Morris recorded his third save pitching a scoreless last 1.2 innings. Good to see Daytona hitting the ball and Matt Loosen get to the 10-win mark.
Leading by one in the bottom of the ninth, Iowa gave up one there and then gave up three in the bottom of the 10th to lose 6-3. James Adduci continues to hit the ball going 3-for-5 on Sunday. Welington Castillo was 1-for-3 with a two-run homer on, his sixth of the season. Adrian Cardenas and Josh Vitters each had a hit. Brett Jackson didn't have any hits, but he did walk and steal a base, his 24th of the season. Rodrigo Lopez actually pitched well going five innings and allowing only two runs, one earned on five hits, while striking out five. After Ryan Rowland-Smith and Esmailin Caridad pitched the next three scoreless innings the rest of the bullpen blew it. Michael Bowden gave up the run in the ninth and Jay Jackson took the loss giving up a three run homer in the tenth. It's just not going well for Iowa, finding different ways to lose almost every night.
Thanks for Reading,

http://www.textkit.com/greek-latin-foru ... &start=160
The experience is giving me some food for thought about Greek pedagogy.
- A – Photos (or graphics, gestures, voice inflection) are all valuable aids when used within the act of communication, even if the communication is one-way, such as reading a text. But graphics have low pedagogical value when disconnected to communication or context. I'm thinking here mostly about learning vocabulary via pictures. If the pictures tell a story (see Comenius http://sxole.com/forum/topics/comenius-orbis-sensualim ) that counts as communication, in my mind and "works." But if I am shown a picture of a round shield and told it this is ασπις, I'm not sure that's very useful. See B-Greek "First 1000 Words" thread. http://www.ibiblio.org/bgreek/forum/vie ... hoto#p3605
B –A conversation about the weather seems pretty dull. What it does, though, is limit the vocabulary without limiting the structure. As the TPRS people emphasize, "shelter vocabulary, not structure." And, as Funk and others on B-Greek have pointed out, once structure is internalized, adding vocabulary is easily and more accurately done through engaging in the language through communication or reading within a meaningful context.
C - Using ασπις (round shield) for "umbrella" might not be entirely accurate, but later revising the understanding of the meaning of individual words is fairly easy. If playing around with words results in more communication and more use of Greek structures, it's welcome.

The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University has received a five-year contract extension, with a face value of $584 million, from the U.S. government through June 2015.
The SEI's contract ensures that the institute will continue to pursue its mission of advancing the practice of software engineering and improving the quality of systems that depend on software. Beginning in the summer of 2009, the U.S. government conducted an extensive review of the SEI, culminating in the recommendation by government reviewers to exercise the option to renew the SEI contract. Previous contract renewals were in 1990, 1995, 2000 and 2005. The 2005 agreement contained an option to extend the contract for five additional years starting in 2010.
"We are pleased to have the opportunity to continue to carry out the SEI's mission," said Paul Nielsen, SEI director and CEO. "Our purpose is to advance the state of the art in software engineering and transition these advancements to the community so that organizations may develop and acquire software that is more reliable, more secure, and more dependable."
Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, the SEI was established in 1984 at Carnegie Mellon as a federally funded research and development center. Through its sponsor, the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, the SEI carries out its mission by focusing on software engineering management and technical practices.
Throughout its history, the SEI has defined specific initiatives that address pervasive and significant problems that impede the ability of organizations to acquire, build, and evolve software-intensive systems predictably on time, within expected cost, and with expected functionality.
On deck this week for the SEI is the SEPG Europe 2010, the flagship conference for process professionals being held in Porto, Portugal. SEPG Europe is an annual gathering where the process community comes together to learn, network, and build their skills in process improvement in software and systems engineering as a means to achieving superior performance. The following are SEPG Europe 2010 keynote speakers:
- Linda Northrop, director of the Research, Technology, and System Solutions Program at the Software Engineering Institute where she leads the work in architecture-centric engineering, software product lines, system of systems, and ultra-large-scale systems research.
- Dr. Richard Mark Soley, chairman and chief executive officer of the Object Management Group, Inc. (OMG) and executive director of the SOA Consortium.
- Dr. Ian Sommerville, professor of computer science at St. Andrews University, Scotland, and principal investigator in the UK's Large Scale Complex IT Systems research program.
- Jacqueline (Jacqui) Guichelaar, head of global production services within GT Capital Markets at Deutsche Bank, responsible for global production services across all business lines.
Each SEPG conference offers core professional development in process improvement through technical sessions focused on technologies like CMMI, People CMM, PSP, TSP, Agile, ISO, and Six Sigma; approaches to implementing high maturity; effective acquisition techniques; service development and delivery; and many other processes for improvement.

Ireland grace Twickenham for the first time
Huw Richards
February 12, 2010

Whether or not it is true that nobody remembers who came second - there are a fair few sporting events that suggest otherwise - there is little doubt that it can be something of a dampener on historic memory.
So while the first ever international match played at Twickenham, the victory over Wales in mid-January 1910, remains one of the more famous contests in English rugby history, no such distinction has attached to the second match, which was played 100 years ago this week.
On February 12, 1910 Ireland came to Twickenham for the first time. After breaching the Welsh line at the first attempt, inside a minute, England found the Irish defence considerably less permeable. In fact they did not score at all. Nor did the Irish, but most accounts reckoned that the visitors had rather the better of the 0-0 draw. Their forwards, led by veteran skipper George Hamlet, who was in his ninth season of international rugby and winning his 24th cap, dominated the scrums, made constructive use of the wheel and were destructive in the manner of Irish forwards for much of the succeeding century.
England also finished with 14 men as wing Edgar Mobbs, destined to die in the First World War and be commemorated in the annual Mobbs Memorial match between East Midlands and the Barbarians, went off for the last 15 minutes. That Ireland did not win owed much to a man who could have been playing for them.
England fullback Bill Johnston, one of a remarkable succession of Bristol players to hold the position, was Irish-born. A debutant against Wales, he enhanced the solid impression made on that occasion with a brave defensive display, frequently halting Irish footrushes by diving among their feet - a requirement of old-style fullback that helps explain why his eventual tally of 16 caps would remain an English record until overtaken by Bob Hiller in the early 1970s.
For other England players, this match represented an end. Three of the outgunned pack - Dyne Smith of Richmond, Harold Morton of Blackheath and Leonard Chambers of Bedford - would not be seen in international rugby again. Nor would Leslie Hayward, the centre chosen after Cornishman Bert Solomon declined the invitation earned by a brilliant display against Wales. Cheltenham's first cap, Hayward was deemed a failure on debut and summarily discarded.
It was also the end for scrum-half Dai Gent, the diminutive Llandovery native who had despaired of ever displacing Dickie Owen from the Wales team and chosen to play for England. Even so his contribution to the game was only just beginning, as one of the most distinguished journalists of the following half-century, intrepid enough to follow the 1950 Lions to New Zealand when closing in on 70 and sufficiently lucid a decade later to pen a vivid account of the first ever Twickenham Test for the match programme that marked the 50th anniversary.
Most remarkable of all was that it was Adrian Stoop's final match as England captain. He would return for the final match of the year, against Scotland, after England had taken a partly experimental team to Paris to play the as yet little-regarded French. Mobbs led them in Paris, but when Stoop returned to the team that would clinch both Calcutta Cup and Championship the captaincy passed on to John Birkett. Stoop is widely remembered as a brilliant, innovative captain and in that season was leading Harlequins, newly ensconced as Twickenham's tenants, to new levels of success and brilliance. Birkett played under him for the Quins. Yet the fact remains that Stoop captained England only twice.
For the Irish there was a significant beginning. Dicky Lloyd, making his debut at half-back, came close to stealing victory with a drop-goal. It would have been in keeping with the rest of his international career had he hit the target. To Welsh journalist Townsend Collins, Lloyd was 'a genius, one of the superlative half-backs. He was the completely equipped player, but excelled as a kick. Opposing captains might tell off their wing forwards to suppress him, but he would circumvent them. Other men have kicked as quickly; no player of modern times has been more accurate…usually he was the man of his side and the man of the match."
Lloyd was to play 19 times for Ireland, the last in the first season following the First World War, and create records that would outlive him - he died in 1950. His 69 points with the boot in a total of 75 made him Ireland's most prolific kicker until Tom Kiernan, who played many more matches, overtook him in the 1960s. His seven drop-goals - in his day worth four points - remained a record for all international rugby until Michel Vannier dropped his eighth in 1961 and were still in the Five Nations record book, equalled by Barry John in 1971, until overtaken by John Rutherford in 1987.
The result itself launched a Twickenham tradition, as international rugby's unmatched venue for drawn matches. There have been 23 in all - more than any other two international grounds. (Lansdowne Road is next with 13 followed by Murrayfield on nine) over the last 100 years. Twickenham has, it is true, staged more Tests - England v Wales last week was the 256th - than anywhere else, but not remotely enough to explain this preponderance.
Around one in every 27 international matches over the last 100 years has finished in a draw. Twickenham produces draws just under once every 11, two and a half times the average. Lansdowne Road's average is below one in 16, Murrayfield's one in 26, the Cardiff venues one in 27. Only one match of the 83 at Parc des Princes was drawn while none of the 47 at Lancaster Park, Christchurch, have been.
It is also the only ground to have staged more than one scoreless draw in that period - the stalemate against Ireland in 1910 being succeeded by those against Scotland in 1930 and Wales in 1962.
'Field of draws' doesn't have quite the right ring, but it is Twickenham's title to claim without challenge over the past century. Statistical quirk, or a significant phenomenon saying something about the long-term character of England teams? A debate, perhaps, to last the next 100 years.

If Javier Colon becomes "The Voice" tomorrow night, it could be just because of his amazing voice.
Or, it could be that great voice mixed in with some help from Justin Bieber.
The Beebs used his Facebook page to tell his 32 million fans to support Javier and Team Adam tonight.
U.S. & World
"WATCH! Javier from TEAM ADAM is a BEAST! support him on THE VOICE! got to support friends and this dude knows Ernie Halter too," Justin posted.
Unfortunately, he did not post the official video of Javier singing "Angel."
Justin's agent, Scooter Braun, is from Greenwich and Tweeted to Adam Levine that he's from Connecticut and Javier is incredible.
"I'm about to have my team go in for Team Adam," Scooter tweeted on Monday.
That team includes Justin, Ernie Halter, Asher Roth and more.
Within the last 21 hours, more than 21,000 people clicked "like" on Justin's post and more than 4,000 commented.
Most of those comments were to or about Justin himself, but the teen Canadian sensation no doubt exposed the Connecticut singer to a whole new fan base.
Since getting support from Justin Bieber, Javier has tweeted Kim Kardashian to tell her fans to watch and support him. So far, Kim has not tweeted out to her 8 million followers.
You can watch the show tonight on NBC at 8 p.m.

ZURICH-SCHLIEREN, Switzerland, July 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Following recently signed collaborations with GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals (GSK) and Janssen Pharmaceuticals (JPI), GlycoVaxyn AG, a leader in the development of innovative conjugate vaccines, today announced that it has secured a Strategic Translation Award from the Wellcome Trust to finance its Shigella program.
The award will allow the Company to advance its Shigella bioconjugate vaccine by funding human safety and challenge studies in healthy adults to confirm the efficacy of a monovalent Shigella flexneri 2a vaccine, before testing a multivalent vaccine in field studies in children. Clinical trials are scheduled to start in 2014 in the USA.
Shigella is one of the main causes of a diarrheal disease that causes illness and death among young children in low-income countries. Various serotypes of this Gram-negative bacterium are responsible for the diarrhea and, with regional differences in serotype distribution, up to 6 serotypes need to be included in a vaccine to provide broad protection and prevent Shigellosis worldwide.
GlycoVaxyn's in vivo glycosylation technology enables the possibility to develop such a complex multivalent Shigella vaccine for the first time. Complexes of the antigenic surface polysaccharides and proteins can now be directly synthesized in genetically engineered bacterial cells. This multivalent Shigella bioconjugate vaccine can be manufactured at low costs, a distinct advantage compared to conjugate vaccines that are chemically produced.
"An estimated 1.1 million people die from Shigella infections each year, mostly children under the age of five living in low income countries," said Richard Seabrook, Ph.D., head of Business Development at the Wellcome Trust. "With rising antibiotic resistance limiting our treatment options, we urgently need an affordable vaccine that will provide broad protection against the many strains of Shigella bacteria that cause disease."
Dr Michael Wacker, chief scientific officer of GlycoVaxyn added, "We are very honored to work with this prestigious global charitable foundation and proud to contribute to the development of a vaccine that addresses a critical medical need among millions around the world. GlycoVaxyn has previously conducted a Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers on a single serotype Shigella conjugate vaccine. This collaboration will enable us to investigate a new vaccine against a different single serotype, moving this important program forward towards a broad acting vaccine that protects against multiple serotypes."
Gordon Dougan, Ph.D., member of GlycoVaxyn's Scientific Advisory Board and professor at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge commented, "GlycoVaxyn is using highly innovative technology to break open new fields in vaccinology. I am delighted to see them work together with the Wellcome Trust to apply this technology to vaccines for children suffering from dysentery."
About GlycoVaxyn AGGlycoVaxyn is a privately-funded company developing a portfolio of novel bio-conjugate vaccines against common severe bacterial infections produced with its unique, proprietary in vivo glycosylation platform. With this platform, the company can develop and produce immunogenic glycoprotein conjugates in a biological process that circumvents many of the challenges and uncertainties involved in currently used chemical methods. Besides Shigella, the portfolio includes preclinical programs targeting major infectious diseases such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. GlycoVaxyn is funded by a top-tier group of private investors including Sofinnova Partners, Index Ventures and Edmond de Rothschild Investment Partners and recently entered collaborations with GSK and JPI.
