Neocons and faux conservatives have raked former Texas Rep. Ron Paul over the coals following his tweet earlier this week stating "Chris Kyle's death seems to confirm that 'he who lives by the sword dies by the sword.' Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn't make sense."
"Ron Paul should be ashamed, should issue an apology and then he should just go away," wrote an indignant Katie Pavlich on Townhall.
"Just unbelievable and appalling. Can someone be much more insensitive to the death to such a great American patriot?" chimed The Right Scoop.
"Chris Kyle was an American hero of the highest order," said an aggrieved Awr Hawkins, writing for Breitbart.com. "And he used the sword because he was in the military, where his job was to keep America safe."
Hawkins does not bother to explain how the largest and most deadly military in the world invading small backwater countries and unleashing snipers and other trained assassins to kill insurgents resisting occupation keeps America safe (in fact, it is likely to do just the opposite, as the phenomenon of blowback has repeatedly demonstrated).
Twitter was ablaze with ridicule as well. "Ron Paul might want to ask Jesse Ventura what happened last time he ridiculed a dead SEAL," said an uninformed Lachlan Markay, apparently unaware or unwilling to accept the fact that Ventura had filed a defamation lawsuit after Chris Kyle falsely claimed he had punched out the veteran and former Minnesota governor after he supposedly made a derogatory comment about American foreign policy. Kyle allegedly engaged in the ruse to drum up promotion for his ghost written book, American Sniper.
"Grandpa's talking to the furniture again," a snide David Burge of the Iowahawk blog tweeted.
Glenn Beck's website was compelled to state that Ron Paul's own son had "seemingly backed away from his father's controversial comments."
Rand Paul had characterized Kyle as a "hero like all Americans who don the uniform to defend our country."
It is no secret the junior Paul has ingratiated himself with the neocon wing that controls the Republican Party and Beck's insinuation that trouble on the Paul home-front is at best mischievous.
Finally, in the video below, the late Jimmy Stewart's character in the great antiwar film Shenandoah unleashes his thoughts on a dictatorial state demanding the sacrifice of citizen-subjects to its warmongering mandates. (Thanks to Daniel McAdams for the link.)
In the quotes above, we get a pretty good idea how this mentally defective mindset at the behest of the warheads has so perfectly infected the "conservative" intelligentsia who rarely go to war themselves but find it sentimentally praiseworthy when others do so to advance the imperialistic objectives of a marauding and pillaging state.

Leila Fowler Death: Brother, 12, Charged With Second Degree Murder
Massive manhunt launched after boy told cops a man entered home, killed girl.
May 14, 2013 -- The 12-year-old brother of Leila Fowler, the 8-year-old girl who was stabbed to death in her northern California home, has been charged with murder.
The boy, who has not been identified because he is a minor, was charged today with 2nd degree murder with special circumstances for using a dangerous weapon in the crime, ABC station KGO-TV in San Francisco reported.
Officials from the Calaveras County Sheriff's Office were not immediately available for comment on the charges.
Mark Reichel and Steve Plesser, attorneys from a firm hired by the boy's family to represent him, told ABC's Sacramento affiliate KXTV that they met with him today at a juvenile detention facility.
"He's actually doing very well right now," Plesser said. "As well as can be expected in these really difficult times."
The two attorneys said they plan to ask the court to allow the boy to return to his family.
On April 27, the boy told Valley Springs, Calif., authorities that he found his sister stabbed to death after an intruder broke into their home. The 12-year-old said he called his parents, who alerted sheriff's deputies.
The boy told authorities the intruder, whom he described as a tall man with a muscular build, fled the scene. The boy's description launched a 15-day manhunt that included door-to-door searches and divers in a reservoir.
The Calaveras County Sheriff's Office in Northern California announced the arrest of the 12-year-old boy on May 10.
Neighbors in Valley Springs said they feared all along that Leila's brother -- not a mystery man the boy described -- might be responsible for the girl's stabbing death.
"It made us sadder, because he's just 12 years old," Barbara Barron told ABCNews.com. "The family has lost two children now."
Today the Calaveras County sheriff's office released the 911 call made by the fiancée of the father of Leila Fowler, which was placed at 12:13 p.m. on April 27.
On Monday the boy's father, Barney Fowler, told The Associated Press that his family is standing behind the boy "until they have the proper evidence to show it's my son."
The Fowler family canceled its request to provide a prepared statement to the media, which was originally scheduled for 3:30 p.m. today. No reason was given for the cancellation.

Just as some of New York's best-paid workers began streaming from humbled investment banks, City Hall made an announcement regarding people at the other end of the economic spectrum. It reported that almost a quarter of New Yorkers live beneath the administration's revised poverty line of $26,138 a year for a family of four. The adjustment, announced in July, increased the city's 2006 poverty rate to 23 percent from the 18.9 percent under existing federal guidelines. The jump wasn't a product of the economic crisis, but of the city government's new way to measure who is poor.
The city's Center for Economic Opportunity developed the new threshold as an alternative to the federal measure, which was introduced in 1969 and is widely considered outdated.
"Since the mid-'60s the economy has vastly changed. So has society and so have government benefits but the poverty formula hasn't adjusted in response," Mayor Michael Bloomberg stated in the city's press release.
The Center for Economic Opportunity hopes the revised measure will aid policymaking by providing a clearer and more nuanced picture of poverty in New York.
How It Works
The new threshold is based on guidelines developed by the National Academy of Sciences that say poverty measures should reflect the cost of food, clothing, shelter and utilities. The existing federal measure focuses primarily on the cost of food, which, over the last few decades, has since shrunk from one third to one eighth of household spending, according to economic opportunity office. Unlike the federal standard, the new threshold also considers out-of-pocket medical expenses and costs associated with employment, such as transportation and childcare, and counts as income government benefits like food stamps and housing vouchers. The federal measure also fails to account for geographic differences.
The net effect, says Mark Levitan, the Center for Economic Opportunity's director for poverty research, provides a better gauge of the effect of government policy.
"What's been the focus of policy in the last 15 years? It's been single moms and their children," said Levitan. The new measure, by taking government benefits into consideration, reflects the impact of this focus. "We see how nutritional assistance programs and tax credits are benefiting those families," he said. Under the new threshold, the number of children in single parent families living below the poverty line decreases by almost three percentage points.
The new measure also exposes areas where policy is lacking. The poverty rate among New Yorkers 65 years old and up balloons from 18 percent under federal guidelines to 32 percent. And the poverty rate for the working poor -- families with at least one full-time worker -- rises from 28 percent to 36 percent.
The Effect on the Poor
While the new measure makes it easier to analyze poverty, for now it won't help alleviate it. The federal government determines eligibility for benefits like food stamps, so the more than 300,000 New Yorkers who are poor by city, but not national, standards will have to wait for change from Capitol Hill.
Levitan believes that the new Congress will address the issue, but he stresses that the city wants a new poverty measure as a policy tool, not a determinant of eligibility. "It would be a little naive to think that New York City engages in a process of measuring poverty, [we] find more poverty, and then we open our pockets expecting billions of new largesse from Washington," he said. "We knew that that wasn't going to happen."
In the meantime, he said, the message to vulnerable New Yorkers is that when the city commits itself to solving a problem, "we don't do these things by the seat of our pants."
It remains to be seen though, whether the poor and the people who work with them have gotten that message.
"This is the first I've heard of it," said Lucia Russett, director of advocacy at Little Sisters of the Assumption, a multi-service community organization in East Harlem.
Her clients are struggling with the rising cost of housing. One woman, married with four children, receives $549 per month in food stamps and another $324 in support from her first child's father. She does not work so she can stay home and take care of her children. Her husband, who has limited use of one arm, receives $660 in Supplemental Security Income and Social Security disability. The family's rent in public housing is $521 per month, leaving little for clothing and other expenses.
"It's great to have another way of getting closer to a more accurate picture of what poverty is in the city, but if it's not effecting any real change at the policy level, that's the next step in this," said Jilly Stephens, executive director of City Harvest, a food rescue nonprofit.
The Prevalence of Poverty
Some also question whether the revised line is generous enough. In 2004, the Women's Center for Education and Career Advancement published a report that calculated "self-sufficiency" standards for New York City families. The report found that households needed incomes of about $50,000 to $78,000 to afford basic expenses for a family of four -- more than twice the city's new poverty line.
While illustrative, these figures don't assist policy making, said Levitan, who estimated that 50 percent of the city lives below such a standard.
"Suppose we had put out a report and we'd said, '50 percent of the city's population is poor,' would that be a guide to policy making? It would be a totally meaningless statement," he said. "Poverty should have a sting to its meaning, and if half the people in the city are poor, then poverty becomes a meaningless concept. Poverty should connote a level of deprivation that is unusual in society."
Even by Levitan's standards, so-called "near poverty" is pervasive. According to the Center for Economic Opportunity, 44 percent of New Yorkers live on less than 150 percent of the revised poverty line, or roughly $39,000 for a family of four.
The new threshold also raises questions about the minimum wage. At the current rate of $7.15 per hour, a full-time employee working year-round earns almost $15,000 annually. If she has one child, her earnings put her above the 2006 federal poverty line for a one-adult, one-child family ($13,895), but leave her beneath the city's figure of $18,280.
"These are the inconsistencies that start coming out as soon as you go down this line, and that's why it's so important that the city begin to dialogue in an official way," said David Jones, president and CEO of the Community Service Society of New York.
He said that the poverty line should be seen only as a first step, but an "extraordinary" one nonetheless.
"The self-sufficiency model is what we think we should move toward, but no one else is proposing even what this mayor and his team have come forward with, so as a first step we can do nothing but applaud," he said.
"It's very good news for people who are advocating for low-income communities, because certainly it could be used to say 'look at how low-income people are living and how this compares to what's possible and what's really livable and dignified,'" said Russett.
Skeptics exist, too. A July New York Post editorial faulted the measure for overlooking income earned in the city's underground economy and suggested that Bloomberg was merely seeking attention.
City Hall's attention to poverty may be prescient. New York City's unemployment rate rose from 5 percent in July to 5.8 percent in August, the biggest monthly increase on record. And overall economic conditions are hampering the work of charitable organizations.
"At a time that organizations like City Harvest are potentially staring down a decrease in donations that fund the types of programs we're providing, we're seeing an increase in the number of people turning to the types of programs that we're supporting," said Stephens of City Harvest. "Our aim is just to do all we can to make sure we can continue delivering the services."

DETROIT (WXYZ/CNN) - A 23-year-old Michigan man who live streamed a police chase on Facebook is being held by Detroit police.
Deputies were on the lookout for the man's red pickup truck after he used a lighter to try to ignite some spilled fuel at a gasoline station.
Deputies in Macomb County spotted the suspect, whom police have not identified, and started to pursue him, but the driver wanted more attention from police and those commenting on Facebook.
"So, we heading to Detroit because Macomb County police don't want to pull me over," the suspect said in the video.
"They were encouraging, applauding him for this senseless act. Certainly, there were others that were saying he should slow down, he should stop doing what he's doing. But there were those that were encouraging. And that's a problem for me," said Detroit Police Chief James Craig.
Two officers, a 19-year veteran officer and a rookie, spotted the speeding pickup truck and went after it in an attempt to make a traffic stop.
But when it became clear the suspect was not going to slow down, Detroit police say they stopped following the pickup.
Then the unexpected happened.
"The suspect stopped, made a U-turn. And then at a high rate of speed, started coming in the direction of the officers -- head on," said Craig.
He hit a police vehicle and drove off, but not far.
"As the officer was trying to figure out what just happened, the suspect reappears," said Craig.
The police chief said the suspect turned around again and drove up behind the officers he'd just run into. That's when the officers placed him under arrest.
The officers both had knee injuries.
It wasn't the first time this fleeing suspect has taken police on a wild ride. He was behind the wheel of an ambulance in 2017 after he took off from a hospital in Mount Clemens.
His girlfriend had dropped him off at the hospital because he was having a mental health crisis, but he ended up taking the ambulance.
He was charged but found not guilty by reason of insanity. He paid some fees earlier this year to get his driver's license back.

At a birthday party my son attended, the mom served vegetables in such a cute and clever way: she put a slice of carrot, celery, and red pepper into a small clear plastic cup that had a dollop of salad dressing at the bottom. (Hummus would work, too.) Mess-free, easy to serve, and laid out on a bright blue tray the display looked really inviting. I'm stealing this idea for the next party we have.

Big inning sinks Schwinden, Bisons
Chris Schwinden shut out Charlotte for four innings, but a five-run fifth inning, including a right-field grand slam by Jim Gallagher gave the Knights all the offense they needed in a 6-3 win Saturday night at Coca Cola Field.
Schwinden left after six complete innings, allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits with six strikeouts, two walks and a hit batter. Schinden's record fell to 3-2.
Buffalo's defense twice victimized Charlotte's Tyler Flowers for inning-ending double plays. In the first, Flowers flew out to right fielder Bubba Bell before Bell nailed Gallagher with a spot-on throw to third. Flowers also grounded into a double play to short.
However an errant throw for a double play opportunity by second baseman Michael Fisher gave Charlotte their first run in the fifth, setting up Gallagher.
"It was a double-play grounder a couple steps to his left," manager Tim Teufel said. "If he had to do it all over again he probably would've made a good throw but he just hooked it a little bit and got away from (short stop Chin-Lung) Hu and next thing you know it opened up the inning."
Fisher blamed himself for the loss, but praised Schwinden.
"That definitely was a very untimely thing and I pretty much take full responsibility for this game," Fisher said. "That was a routine double play and unfortunately I just didn't make it and Schwinden pitched great. He did."
Fisher picked up his sixth RBI and fifth in four games, driving in Valentino Pascucci with a double.
"Fish has been swinging well," Teufel said. "He's hitting over .400 (.412), which is outstanding for him coming up from AA."
Pascucci increased his team-leading RBI total to 20 with a sixth-inning single that scored Kirk Nieuwenhuis.
Charlotte starter Freddy Dolsi picked up the win, giving up three runs (all earned) on four hits over six innings. Brian Bruney closed out the ninth, shutting down a rally attempt with two men on base for the save.
Game Notes: Bruney appeared in eight games as a Bison last season…Hu and left fielder Jason Botts made their Bison debuts after joining the team Friday…Bell and Luis Figueroa played their first games at Coca Cola Field after joining the team at the start of its eight-game road trip…Charlotte pitchers hit three Buffalo batters, including pinch hitter Luis Hernandez, who took a ball off the helmet from Bruney.

The last time the Orioles hosted the Yankees in September at Camden Yards, Orioles right fielder Nick Markakis' season ended when a CC Sabathia fastball broke his left thumb.
That event – which robbed Markakis of playing in the postseason for the first time in his career – actually happened exactly one year and one day ago. At the time, Markakis was hitting .335 from the leadoff spot after returning from hamate bone surgery. With one pitch, Markakis went from key contributor to spectator.
Asked before Monday's game whether he believed Sabathia intended to injure Markakis, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said that a lot of left-handed pitchers have to pitch inside to left-handed hitters to have success.
"I understand that," Showalter said. "Nick understands that. Everybody understands that. Our pitchers understand that. … Do I think he went in there with malice and intended to do what happened? Of course not. … Every day you deal with that possibility. Spheres that are moving around at 90-something miles an hour don't give you enough time to vacate where they're headed."
Markakis is hitting 5-for-14 with a .357/.357/.429 split line in three games against Sabathia this season after the injury. Markakis said the injury was never in the back of his mind since facing Sabathia.
"I've felt the same as I do when I've faced him any other time," Markakis said "Just go up there and try and hit balls as hard as possible, just like I've got to do with any other pitcher. And as soon as it leaves the bat hope it hits a hole or ends up somewhere the position players aren't."
Showalter said Markakis' success against left-handers -- he owns a .286/.340/.402 slash line versus lefties in his career – makes him susceptible to not being able to get out of the way of inside pitches from left-handers.
"If you start bailing, you've got no chance against the breaking ball," Showalter said. "Guys who hit good pitchers' breaking balls – right on right and left on left – don't give and Nicky don't give."
Here's what else is going on around the Orioles clubhouse:
-- Alexi Casilla, who is 16-for-31 in his career against Yankees left-hander CC Sabathia, is starting tonight at second base and batting ninth. Other than utilizing Casilla's success against Sabathia, Showalter also said he wanted to give Casilla a start because he didn't see much opportunity to get him another down the stretch with Brian Roberts playing well.
-- Markakis' wife, Christine, is due to deliver the couple's third child on Wednesday, but the plan is to induce in the morning on Wednesday to allow Markakis the opportunity to still play on Wednesday against the Yankees. Showalter said he considers Markakis "an if" for Wednesday.
-- Outfielder Steve Pearce, on the disabled list with tendinitis in his left wrist, received an injection in the wrist on Friday and has resumed light hitting activities. While he making his DL date of Sept. 12 will be a challenge, Showalter said Pearce shouldn't take much more time to be ready.
-- Alex Liddi, who was designated for assignment Friday when the Orioles selected the contract of OF Chris Dickerson, cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk.
And here are the starting lineups for tonight's game:
Nick Markakis RF
Manny Machado 3B
Adam Jones CF
Chris Davis 1B
Danny Valencia DH
JJ Hardy SS

Hi all,
I am pretty green when it comes to developing software. That being said, I have been using some computer modeling software which has it's own "macro language." It says it is "like BASIC, but without some of the functionality." The language is clumsy and difficult to use effectively without memorizing the manual. I'd like to do a couple things to solve this:
1. Create an IDE which has:
a. "code completion" functionality (like IntelliSense I guess)
b. debugging capabilities (syntax)
The custom "language" has both "functions" and "keywords" which are stored in an ASCII text file. These are simply read by the modeling software and executed. One does not need to compile these macros.
What would be an efficient way to start learning how to develop an IDE of this nature for a language like this? Am I biting off more than I can chew? Is there an open-source IDE out there which I can build off of (more likely, strip down)?
Any and all comments are appreciated.
Note: I've kept the software and "language" vague on purpose.

CAW PRESS RELEASE: Advocacy Orgs Urge Obama to Sign Disclosure Exec. Order This Week
Defy Chamber, McConnell and Others Working to Undermine Campaign Finance Reform
Powerful Tool to Make Political Spending by Corporations Public
WASHINGTON, May 9, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In light of reports that President Obama may sign an executive order, in the face of dogged opposition, requiring disclosure of donations by those who seek contracts with the federal government, Kevin Zeese, an attorney with CampaignAccountabilityWatch.org (CAW) released the following statement:
"President Obama has the opportunity to greatly minimize the impact of money on the corruption of politics by taking two actions. First, sign the executive order requiring disclosure of political donations by people who receive contracts from the federal government. Second, enforce existing campaign finance and tax laws so that non-profit organizations are not illegally used to hide the identity of large individual and corporate donors. A tax and campaign finance enforcement investigation of the misuse of non-profits in the 2010 election will show donors they risk prosecution for evading federal campaign finance laws as do the people working with non-profits who do so. Transparency is a powerful antidote to corruption."
CAW believes that the President should ignore the hypocritical opposition by the Chamber of Commerce and the GOP Senators led by Mitch McConnell, whose goals are to only undermine campaign finance reform and FEC oversight.
CAW is a coalition by advocacy groups dedicated to fair and transparent elections representing over a million members.

But when today's Matron or Honor, the bride of 7 years ago, arrives, I recognize her immediately. Their wedding was so much fun! She had worn a big traditional white gown with a train, while the groom and groomsmen had dressed in suits—and flip-flops. (These were leather rather than rubber and therefore, evidently, their "dress" flip-flops.) I also recall that during the ceremony when I'd asked for the bride's ring, the Best Man dug and dug into his pockets, appearing to have lost it. Finally, with great fanfare, he produced a bright green candy pop ring. It was joke, which surprised and delighted the bride. She threw her head back and laughed and laughed, thanking him graciously with a Southern drawl and even pretended to give the ring a lick. The real ring was then presented and we went on with the wedding, the bride still chuckling.
When I meet today's bride, I find that she is even more laid back than her sister. Today the two are dressed semi-casually but in classy southern style; pretty blue dresses accessorized with cowboy boots! Dad is clearly feeling at home in denim overalls, though they appear to be brand new. The groom is polite and kind, making sure to tell me that if I'm ever in North Carolina, I'm welcome to come and visit them. It's a pleasure to reconnect with the parents and brother, who have all traveled to Oregon once again for a family wedding.
I don't get much in the way of repeat business—ideally once I join a couple, they will stay together for a lifetime. I sure do love getting referrals of their family members, though. It is such an honor to serve the same family again and share in yet another joyful occasion!

I'm Jim Grey. I've collected film cameras since I was 8. I've been writing since I was 12. I've made photographs seriously only since I was 40, but I've made up for lost time.
We have fun here talking about old cameras and photography, both film and digital.
But you might not love gear like I do, so I put my photographs out front. After all, who doesn't like to look at a pretty picture?
I also tell stories along the way — about the places I go and the things I see, and about my life — because I love to read the same from others and I think you will too. I love old buildings, old roads, old bridges, and old cars; you'll find photos and stories of them all over this blog.
The comments you leave after each post often teach me things. So I hope you'll take a minute to tell me your thoughts!
I'm a lifeloong Hoosier, married, seven children between us, nearly empty nested.
Other ways to find me online
I make software for a living and write about it once in a while here. And I sometimes contribute to this site about old cars.
You can follow me on Flickr here. I'm not big on Instagram (here), Facebook (here) or Twitter (here), but you can follow me if you want. On Facebook, I accept friend requests only from people I know directly.
Do you want to contact me?
I enjoy hearing from you, especially when you comment on something I wrote or photographed. If you want to reach me directly, here's a handy contact form. Your message will come straight to my e-mail inbox. I'll respond to the e-mail address you type into the form. (Please note: I don't respond to blind requests to participate in projects, write guest posts, or promote products.)
Do you want to republish a post from this blog?
Sorry, no. But I'd be happy to talk with you about creating original work for your site. Use the contact form above to reach out.
If you want me to create work for a profit-making company, I expect to be paid.

St. Louis
IN the 35 years since Peter Singer's book "Animal Liberation" was published, jump-starting the animal rights movement in the United States, the number of animals used in cosmetics testing and scientific research has dropped significantly, and the number of dogs and cats killed in shelters has fallen by more than half. Nevertheless, because the amount of red meat that Americans eat per capita has held steady at more than 100 pounds a year as the population has increased, more animals than ever suffer from injuries and stress on factory farms.
Veal calves and gestating sows are so confined as to suffer painful bone and joint problems. The unnatural high-grain diets provided in feedlots cause severe gastric distress in many animals. And faulty or improperly used stun guns cause the painful deaths of thousands of cows and pigs a year.
We are most likely stuck with factory farms, given that they produce most of the beef and pork Americans consume. But it is still possible to reduce the animals' discomfort through neuroscience. Recent advances suggest it may soon be possible to genetically engineer livestock so that they suffer much less.
This prospect stems from a new understanding of how mammals sense pain. The brain, it turns out, has two separate pathways for perceiving pain: a sensory pathway that registers its location, quality (sharp, dull or burning, for example) and intensity, and a so-called affective pathway that senses the pain's unpleasantness. This second pathway appears to be associated with activation of the brain's anterior cingulate cortex, because people who have suffered damage to this part of the brain still feel pain but no longer find it unpleasant. (The same is true of people who are given morphine, because there are more receptors for opiates in the affective pain pathway than in the sensory pain pathway.)
Neuroscientists have found that by damaging a laboratory rat's anterior cingulate cortex, or by injecting the rat with morphine, they can likewise block its affective perception of pain. The rat reacts to a heated cage floor by withdrawing its paws, but it doesn't bother avoiding the places in its cage where it has learned the floor is likely to be heated up.
Recently, scientists have learned to genetically engineer animals so that they lack certain proteins that are important to the operation of the anterior cingulate cortex. Prof. Min Zhuo and his colleagues at the University of Toronto, for example, have bred mice lacking enzymes that operate in affective pain pathways. When these mice encounter a painful stimulus, they withdraw their paws normally, but they do not become hypersensitive to a subsequent painful stimulus, as ordinary mice do.
Prof. Zhou-Feng Chen and his colleagues here at Washington University have engineered mice so that they lack the gene for a peptide associated with the anterior cingulate gyrus. Like the animals given brain lesions, these mice are normally sensitive to heat and mechanical pain, but they do not avoid situations where they experience such pain.
Given the similarity among all mammals' neural systems, it is likely that scientists could genetically engineer pigs and cows in the same way. Because the sensory dimension of the animals' pain would be preserved, they would still be able to recognize and avoid, when possible, situations where they might be bruised or otherwise injured.
The people who consumed meat from such genetically engineered livestock would also be safe. Knockout animals have specific proteins removed, rather than new ones inserted, so there's no reason to think that their meat would pose more health risks for humans than ordinary meat does.
If we cannot avoid factory farms altogether, the least we can do is eliminate the unpleasantness of pain in the animals that must live and die on them. It would be far better than doing nothing at all.

Host Pathogen Interactions
Cell Biology of the Immune System
Understanding how the immune system mounts an effective but highly regulated response to foreign pathogens is essentially a problem in systems cell biology. Individual cells, such as T lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and B lymphocytes, must carry out a series of complex tasks individually.
At the same time, they must coordinate their efforts to generate antibodies and cytotoxic responses to pathogens while avoiding damage to the organism itself. Various of our lab groups are at the forefront of this emerging interface, revealing not only critical insights into the underlying mechanisms of the immune response, but also unexpected and fundamental new pieces of cell biology. For example, Cell Biology labs have been among the first to demonstrate how peptide antigens are generated in the cytosol then translocated post-translationally across the ER membrane for loading onto MHC class I molecules. They have also elucidated how dendritic cells respond to inflammatory stimuli enabling their conversation from cells adapted for antigen uptake to cells specialized for antigen degradation and peptide-MHC formation.
Other topics include the mechanism of granule secretion in T cells, immunological synapse function, and anti-viral mechanisms. In conjunction with the Section of Immunobiology, the Department has established Yale Medical School as a hotbed of activity in these and related areas. The work is exciting not only for its fundamental aspects, but also because it is directly relevant to the understanding and treatment of a variety of human disorders.
Cell Biology of Host Pathogen Interactions
Microbial pathogens, particularly those that have sustained a long-standing association with their hosts, have evolved extremely complex adaptations to secure their own replication and survival. The study of the cell biology and immunobiology of host/pathogen interactions is emerging as a key area of infectious disease research in the post-genomic era.
Recent advances are allowing the understanding of the intimate details of the functional, molecular, or in some cases even the atomic interface, between microbial pathogens and their hosts. A surprising finding from this level of understanding is that host/pathogen interactions are most often best characterized by their refinement and complexity than for their potential to cause harm. Many microbial products, often evolved to precisely mimic host cell determinants, have the capacity to modulate cellular functions. The study of these products most often illuminates not only the mechanisms by which pathogens subvert host cellular process but also bring in unique insight into the cell processes themselves.
In conjunction with the Sections of Microbial Pathogenesis and Immunobiology, many laboratories in our program are conducting research at the fore front of this exciting area of investigation. These studies range from the mechanisms by which pathogens harness the actin cytoskeleton or the membrane repair machinery to mediate their own uptake into host cells, to the different ways by which microbial pathogen subvert vesicular trafficking pathways to avoid antigen presentation or their delivery into harmful intracellular compartments.

To meet this, the government plans to provide financial assistance to middle- and low-income families through various programs, such as the Pag-IBIG Affordable Housing Program, Community Mortgage Program (CMP), Core Housing Program and the Abot-Kaya Pabahay Fund Developmental Loan Program (AKPF – DLP).
• With robust and modern infrastructure vital for economic growth, the government is focusing on infrastructure development. Accordingly, in September 2016, the National Economic and Development Authority announced its plan to spend PHP8.2 trillion (US$173.9 billion) on nine infrastructure projects by 2022.
• In the Budget 2017, the government increased its total spending on the Department of Transport by 25.0%, rising from PHP42.6 billion (US$903.3 million) in the budget 2016 to reach PHP53.3 billion (US$1.1 billion). The government also increased the budget of Department of Public Works and Highways by 18.3%, rising from PHP384.4 billion (US$8.2 billion) in 2016 to PHP454.7 billion (US$9.8 billion) in 2017, to improve the country's transport infrastructure.
• In March 2017, the government approved National broadband plan with an aim to support economic development and growth. Through this, the government aims to create investment opportunities and ensure social and economic inclusion. Consequently, the government plans to deploy fiber optic cables and wireless technology across the country with an investment of PHP200.0 billion (US$4.3 billion), to equip all schools and government offices with a high speed internet connection.
• Over the forecast period, the government's plan to expand the capacity of manufacturing plants is expected to support growth of the industrial construction market. Under the Manufacturing Resurgence Program (MRP), the government aims to enhance the existing capacity of manufacturing industries, support new entries, increase employment, and maintain the competitiveness of industries by 2025.

|System: PC, PS3, Xbox 360*, PS2, Wii, DS, PSP
|Dev: Visual Concepts
|Pub: 2K Sports
|Release: March 6, 2012
|Players: 1-4
|Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p
The only genuinely new feature that MLB 2K12 can brag about is the MLB Today Season Mode. This mode allows players to play a major league season at the same pace as their favorite teams. As they progress, players will be able to compare their own stats against those of their real-life counterparts. It's a neat trick, but it will be rendered pretty useless once the 2012 season is over, which, I suppose means that we'll all have to buy next year's copy as well.
Graphically speaking, MLB 2K12 leaves something to be desired. The stadiums are impressive and realistic, but when you take a closer look, the field is rife with torn textures and jagged edges. And, I don't know about you, but I wish that Visual Concepts had dedicated a little more development time the player's faces. I'm not exaggerating when I say that everyone on the field looks like a serial killer.
Just in case you were worried, MLB 2K12 does include the Home Run Derby and the online leagues. However, much like the multiplayer, nothing has really been tweaked for this year's upgrade.
All in all, Major League Baseball 2K12 is a solid title that will give baseball lovers a respectable alternative to Sony's MLB 12: The Show. However, considering how little 2K Sports has changed the title from last year's edition, you'll probably get more bang for your buck if you just check out the bargain bin at your local retailer for a copy of MLB 2K11.
Also, it's worth noting that MLB 2K12 will be the last title ever released on the PlayStation 2. So, it might be worth owning, simply based on its historical value. Then again, since when do gamers care about history?

Concept for investigating mechanical and thermal impacts on distributed subsurface gas monitoring (2016)
A multifunctional sensor in line shape was developed and introduced in previous work for measuring of gas concentrations, temperature change, and strain. A current field study focuses on a spatially distributed monitoring of subsurface CO 2 gas storage sites in near real time. Mechanical impacts, e.g., caused by construction work, denudation, and seismic activity, can affect the integrity of underground gas storage sites. Thermal or moisture impacts, e.g., caused by weather conditions, can influence the gas Distribution behavior. In this paper, we briefly describe the setup of a CO 2 injection soil test field. This setup contains actuating elements for the investigation of mechanical and thermal impacts on distributed subsurface gas monitoring. A concept is given for evaluating these impacts and first experimental results are presented.
Modelling and simulation of a fibre Bragg grating strain sensor based on a magnetostrictive actuator principle (2016)
A new concept for the self-diagnosis of embedded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensors was developed, simulated and experimentally tested. This concept is based on a magnetostrictive metallic layer directly coated on the fibre cladding over the grating segment of the FBG sensor, so that an on-demand external magnetic field in a millitesla scale can produce a controllable artificial strain as an indication signal for the remote optical interrogator. The relationship between the pre-defined magnetic field and its induced Bragg wavelength shift characterizes this validation concept. Any deviation of the local bonding state of the interfaces from the initial or/and any change of shear strain transferring mechanism from composite matrix to the optical fibre core will result in alterations in this sensitive relationship, and thus triggers an immediate alert for a further inspection. The finite element method is used to simulate the strain of this configuration as result of different values of the magnetic field in order to optimize the geometrical sensor parameters. The simulations are verified by experiments results. © (2016) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE). Downloading of the abstract is permitted for personal use only.
A contribution to intelligent automatic validation of structure-integrated fibre optic strain sensors (2016)
Sensors integrated into devices and structures provide essential data to control, optimize or manage machines and structural components. In the last years, processes, applications and machine parts became more and more intelligent. Consequently, the need for sensor validation increased significantly in order to rely on sensor data and measurement results. Structure-integrated fibre optic strain sensors, such as fiber Bragg gratings (FBG), are of special interest in the composite manufacturing industry. This type of sensor makes it possible to gain information and to collect measurement data about entire production processes and whole life-time cycles of composite-made machine parts and structures. However, validation concepts and approaches for this type of sensors are barely reported in literature. Furthermore, all the reported activities have the drawback that the sensor diagnosis strategy is implemented as limited mathematical models and/or complex time-consuming spectral analysis tools which are applied in data post-processing loops. However, to automate sensor validation and to apply real-time and in-field sensor fault detection, it is necessary to acquire measurement data and information about the measurement reliability at the same time.
Altbekannter Watts-Elektrolyt, junge Hightech-Anwendung, Nickel- und Nickel-Eisen-Schichten als magnetostriktive Aktorschicht auf faseroptischen Sensoren (2016)
Durch faseroptische Sensoren können Bauteile im Einsatz kontinuierlich überwacht und frühzeitig Informationen über Materialveränderungen gewonnen werden. Mittels einer magnetostriktiven Aktorschicht, welche den Sensor umhüllt, kann nun auch die korrekte Sensorfunktion jederzeit kontrolliert werden. Als Aktorschicht eignet sich galvanisch abgeschiedenes reines Nickel oder Nickel-Eisen in der Zusammensetzung 50:50. Um diese haftfest mit dem Sensor zu verbinden wurde ein ECD/PVD-Kombinationsschichtsystem entwickelt. Die mechanischen Eigenschaften der ECD-Schicht können sowohl mit einer auf die Fasergeometrie angepassten instrumentierten Eindringprüfung als auch einem 2-Punkt-Biegeversuch bestimmt werden.
Fiber optic sensors have gained increasing importance in recent years and are well established in many areas of industrial applications. In this paper, we introduce a concept of a self-diagnostic fiber optic sensor. The presented sensor is to resolve the problems of embedded fiber optic sensors in complex structures and to enable the validation under operational conditions. For this purpose, different magnetostrictive coated fiber optic sensors were developed and various experiments were performed to verify their mode of Operation and to determine the respective reproducibility. The measuring principle is illustrated by obtained experimental results, which showed a change in wavelength from 1 pm at a magnetic field strength change of 0.25 mT. In addition, the temperature characteristics of the implemented magnetostrictive sensor were analyzed and an experimental factor of 1.5 compared to a reference fiber optic sensor was determined.

"Read what your heart desires" - Someone
New Updates
Amok and Ivan have fulfilled their promise of being active administrators after a week of chaotic DDoS attacks a month ago. Amok has rolled in a lot of new updates to the game, such as fixing the Silverlight Map Editor, a brand new test server for testing purposes, anyone can test on this server. Three new languages have also been added to atWar: Swedish (Sweden, yes!), Slovak and Farsi. You can also now earn money by inviting people to atWar - you've read that correctly. Ivan has introduced a wonderful referral program, you can earn 25% commission from whatever they spend on the game, or 30% after you get over $100. For more information on these updates, make sure to check the 'News' tab.
Sun Tzu Demoted
Sun Tzu, a long time administrator, has been demoted. This shocked the community, as he was the only activate administrator we had access to for a long time while Amok and Ivan were busy with real life. Many people were wondering what happened: Many suggested that Amok & Ivan demoted him to save money, some suggest Sun Tzu was being corrupt and was exposed, but after listening to both sides and talking with Ivan, I have concluded on what happened.
An officer in Vicer0y's clan went rouge and began kicking everyone. Now, Vicer0y's clan had over 100 members, so a lot of people had to be re-added back to the clan. Vice then approached Sun Tzu and offered him 50 USD for him to transfer all the members back to his clan. Sun Tzu agreed, however, Vice was not able to pay the full amount, and Sun Tzu later complained that there was too much members to transfer. He would then proceed to ignore Vicer0y, who was already asking him for a refund. Ivan and Amok then became involved in this situation which led to the demotion of Sun Tzu, as his behaviour was not expected of an administrator.
I asked Ivan if this was the sole reason for Sun's demotion and if he can give us anything, but he didn't want me spreading anything and to keep it confidential. All I can say is that Sun Tzu did some things while Ivan and Amok were not here which were unacceptable.
New Moderators
The atWar moderation team has seen a big change. Inactive moderators like DeviL, Guest and The Tactician are no longer moderators, however we have three new additions to the team: Laochra, Acquiesce and Cold Case. Congratulations!
Season Ending
This season was rather weird, as a majority of the season the elo were incorrect due to a bug, which was recently fixed. As of the time writing this, Illyria have a huge lead with 1190.3 elo. Mortal Kombat are second with 1132.1 elo, trying to catch up to Illyria and claim that 1st place trophy. Valyria are third with 1066.3, if they keep this up this would be their first trophy, which is impressive considering they're a new coalition. I wish all clans the best of luck this season, 5 more days to go!

Hi there,
I'm writing some code to perform an image registration between two images, basically this involves working with values from 2 64x64x64 3d images which I am passing into my kernel via openCL image objects. My block size (purely for testing purposes) are 64x1x1.
In this first code example (nb code is simplified to example the problem I'm having): http://pastebin.com/m63f0afe4
Line 22 is performing coalesced writes to _bins stored in global memory, whilst storing the results from the image access, importantly note the addition of 'res'. The metrics I get using this code from the opencl nvidia profiling tool is:
gst coalesced : 8192
gld uncoalesced : 393216
however, if I change line 22 to simply not include the addition of 'res' (i.e. http://pastebin.com/m2cfbddc9) then there are 0 uncoalesced gld's, and it performs significantly faster.
I'm having trouble getting my head round this and why it is performing uncoalesced load access from global memory only when I use res in the addition, and otherwise not, is this some sort of compiler technique to reduce expense if it can see that a variable is not being used elsewhere?
Would appreciate anyone helping me to understand this.
