InteRRaP Hybrid Architecture for Robotic & Multi-Agent Systems
Posted on 05:32, January 22nd, 2011 by Billy McCafferty
Over the years, a number of well defined architectures have been proposed for a wide assortment of project domains; a few examples were described in Architectural Paradigms of Robotic Control. As described, the architectural approaches can typically be categorized as follows:
As with any project, a challenge is picking the appropriate architecture for the task at hand. Thankfully, much work has been done on analyzing agent-oriented architectures to assist development teams with making this selection. While a little dated, Jörg Müller et al.'s Intelligent Agents V provides a solid introduction to analyzing architectural approaches and comparing them to one another for particular project needs. For the project at hand, only those architectures which were hybrid, supporting deliberative-reaction capabilities, were considered. Furthermore, those supporting multi-agent coordination were particularly preferred. Specifically, the following architectures were considered in detail: RAPs/ATLANTIS/3T, Lyons & Hendriks, TouringMachines, InteRRaP, SimAgent, and NMRA. Without going into details as to why the choice was made, InteRRaP has been selected as the target architectural design for the project, providing a good balance of reactive and deliberative capabilities while supporting multi-agent communication and cooperation. This post introduces the major concepts of InteRRaP and the effects of this architectural selection on the O-MaSE project methodology.
InteRRaP 4.0
InteRRaP is a hybrid, belief-desire-intention (BDI) architecture supporting the modeling of reactive, goal-directed, and interacting agents by providing 1) a set of hierarchical control layers, 2) a knowledge base that supports the representation of different abstraction levels of knowledge, and 3) a well-defined control structure that ensures coherent interaction among the control layers. [1] For completeness, BDI should be further described. A BDI approach is broken down, conceptually, as the following mental categories [2]:
It should be noted that InteRRaP is not a traditional BDI architecture; it attempts to leverage the advantages of a BDI architecture as a component of its hybrid approach to structuring multi-agent systems, distributing the mental categories over three layers. For example, beliefs are split into three layered models:
For action deliberation and execution, InteRRaP incorporates three hierarchical control layers described as:
The initiation of actions are triggered by specific situations, which are specific subsets of the agents beliefs. Similar to the breakdown of belief modeling and control layering, situations are classified into three separate categories:
Architectural Implementation
The implementation of the control architecture itself is based on the principles of:
The diagram above [3] illustrates how the underlying principles were used in implementing the control architecture of InteRRaP. There are three primary modules: a world interface providing the agent's perception, communication, and action interfaces with its environment; a knowledge base partitioned into three layers, consisting of the world, mental and social models described previously; and a control unit organized into the three control layers described previously (behavior-based, local-planning, and cooperative-planning). Furthermore, each control layer has two processes including a situation recognition and goal activation (SG) process and a planning, schedule, and execution (PS) process. Control moves from the behavior layer up until a suitable layer competent for execution is found; action is then directed back down to the behavior layer which is the only layer with direct access to sensors and actuators.
To help limit the scope of responsibility of each layer, each is limited to a respective portion of the knowledge base. For example, the behavior-based layer only has access to the world model and can only recognize situations warranting a purely reactive response. Conversely, the cooperative planning layer has access to the social, mental and world models, allowing it to recognize more complex situations and to plan and pass down execution commands, accordingly.
Implications on O-MaSE
As described previously, O-MaSE is a flexible methodology for the definition and design of multi-agent systems. While choosing InteRRaP as a preferred architecture does not preclude the use of any O-MaSE tasks, it implies the introduction of a new task: Model Situations Task. This task would define the situations which may be recognized for taking action upon. Going a step further along these lines, a supporting O-MaSE task may be introduced – Refine Situations Task – to better assign which control layers should be responsible for recognizing and responding to each situation.
This introductory post to InteRRaP only touches upon the major components of this architectural approach in an effort to concisely describe its intent and organization. The interested reader is strongly encouraged to read the references found at the bottom of this post for more detailed information. In the next post, we'll look at some examples of how O-MaSE was used to define requirements in alignment with the selected InteRRaP architecture.
It should be noted that it is not my intention to follow InteRRaP "to a tee"; rather, I find its overall organization to be very logical and will use as inspiration for structuring current project work; for example, I could see trex-autonomy as being a suitable approach for implementing the behavior-based and local-planning layers without negating the underlying principles of InteRRaP, nor its implied organization. Time (and a lot of trial-and-error) will tell.

Step 1: Supplies
For this project, you'll need approximately 10 feet of paracord, scissors, lighter, tape measure, hemostats, watch, and a 5/8" side release buckle. I used a 5/8" ITW Nexus contoured side release buckle, but you can use other less expensive ones like those found at Creative Designworks.
Paracord can be found at local Army/Navy stores or from various online sources: Supply Captain, Lighthound, ebay, etc...
The actual amount of paracord that will be used depends on your wrist size, cord, and tying technique(tight/loose). My wrist is about 8.5 inches and I actually used around 8 or 9 feet after finishing the bracelet/watchband. So using 10 feet is usually a safe estimate for most folks, since having too much cord is better than coming up short when making your project.
*If making a watchband, the watch needs to have about 5/8" space between the lugs(where the watch pins go) so that 5 strands of paracord will fit.
Step 2: To begin
Looks Awesome!!! Made one myself and used an old clip from an ACH!
Thanks for the instructable! It made this an easy project!
where did you get that type of clip and what's it called?
I got it on eBay. It's a stainless steel shackle, usually in outdoor sports category.
This is so comfortable! Thanks for the great Ible!
Thanks for the easy to follow instructions. I made this band for my husband, and it came out awesome!
Great, thanks!!!!
I used my Timex Reef Gear for the example shown in the instructable.
Turned out fantastic....the for the great instructions!!
This was my first try and it was great! Very easy read, thanks. I have people constantly asking me where I got my watch. The also tell me I should sell them on the internet! Cracks me up, I forward them to your instructable. Thanks again, easy to do.
This was a great tutorial. Thank you!
Great project completed it in about 35 mins looks great. Abit tricky to get the size just right had to do it twice. now for the watch band!
Really Loved this I'm going to do this with my grandkids as a group project. Thank You
Fob pocket, a small pocket in trousers or waistcoats originally intended to hold a pocket watch
Key fob, a medallion used to identify a key ring, or position on the ring
Watch fob, a medallion or ornament attached to a pocket watch to assist in handling
So, a paracord 'fob', is usually a short, sometimes decorative bit of knot work added to an item, flashlight, keychain, knife, etc., to aid in identification, and/or grip in holding or retreiving the item from a pocket. It differs from a lanyard, which is usually longer and secures an item, worn around the wrist/neck, or attached to a person or piece of gear by means of a knot or attachment clip/swivel/hook/carabiner/etc... Hope that helps. ;)
My first attempt. It came out OK, but not great. I'm going to try again but next time use a bigger buckle. This instructions call for a 5/8" buckle but I think that's too small. I'm going to use either a 3/4" or maybe even a 1" buckle next time. The band itself is 1" wide.
I improvised a bit, used the dragon tongue weave. Good info.
I have to admit, it was pretty easy, and looks great! Thank you for your great tutorials, I now have an awesome addictive new hobby :)
The bracelet/watchband pattern in this instructable is done with common weaving which is old as dirt, and I just adapted it for use with a side release buckle, and simply called it 'woven'. An example of this pattern is shown as a four strand braid in Stuart Grainger's book, 'Creative Ropecraft'.
Some folks confuse this pattern with the trilobite/ladder rack/six pack knot, but that one is done with two working ends.
Thank s so much for your help.
So if you're measuring the laid out bracelet wrist size from one buckle end to the other(not counting the prongs) and your bracelet is too tight, then add between 1/2" and 1" to the wrist size and tie it, and you'll get a fit that isn't too tight.
You'll have to figure out what exactly constitutes a 'good fit' by your tying, whether snug, 'just right', or loose to narrow down exactly how much extra to add to a wrist size for each one you tie.
As I described in the instructions, when I tie them, I don't add any length, because it stretches out as I work the pattern, and ends up longer when finished than the length I started with. It sounds like yours isn't stretching out, which is ok, you just need to add a little length to make up for it not stretching out, and tie them with the same tension you have been to keep your finished bracelets consistant. Hope that helps. ;)

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A Puerto Rico family that starred in a TV ad promoting investment in the island has joined an ongoing exodus to Florida, an embarrassment to a government trying to halt an economic crisis that has driven tens of thousands to seek opportunity the U.S.
Journalist Hector Vazquez Muniz posted on Facebook that the twin boys who appeared in the ad and their parents had been his neighbors for seven years but left after losing their home. He did not respond to messages for comment on Friday.
Yanira Hernandez, a spokeswoman for Gov. Alejandro Garcia, confirmed that the family moved but said she did not have further details.
The news about the family's relocation unleashed a heated debate in Puerto Rico, which is struggling to emerge from a seven-year recession.

A woman faces DWI charges after crashing her car into an upstate home over the weekend.
The New York State Police say that Lynn Sarnowski, 47, of Elizaville, smashed through the front door of a house at East Kerley Cors Road in Red Hook.
It happened about 11 p.m. on Saturday.
The car came to a rest in the living room. A man who was on the second floor was hurt and a woman who was watching TV in the living room was narrowly missed by the car but unhurt.
Firefighters had to remove Sarnowski from her car after the accident. She was taken to St. Francis Hospital in Poughkeepsie. Her condition was unknown.
Sarnowski will appear in front of a judge in Red Hook at a later date. Police say that additional charges may be pending.
The state police say Red Hook police had already arrested someone familiar with Sarnowski for felony DWI in the same area.

O Say Can You See: Etiquette for Displaying the American Flag
What better day to review the official U.S. code of etiquette for displaying the American flag than the 4th of July? Grab a sparkler, class is in session.
Did you know that there is an official U.S. Flag Code? Really? You did? Oh, me too. I totally knew that...er, sure I did. Anyway! Yes, the Federal Flag Code does exist and can be found under United States Code Title 4 Chapter 1.
The code used today was approved in 1942 by President Roosevelt as a set of guidelines regarding proper etiquette for civilians to follow when displaying the American flag. However, the very first Flag Act was passed by the Continental Congress back in 1777 to establish that the flag would have "thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation."
According to the U.S. Senate, the etiquette prescribed in the code is not mandatory in the legal sense but is encouraged so that proper respect is shown to the flag. The flag code is rather intensive, so here are some highlights (pretty interesting!):
• A U.S. flag must have 13 horizontal stripes, alternating red and white, and 50 stars representing the 50 states in the union.
• When raising the flag, it should be "raised briskly and lowered slowly and ceremoniously". It should be saluted as it is raised and lowered.
• The flag should be displayed between sunrise and sunset; if it is displayed at night it should be illuminated.
• When displaying the flag from a window, balcony, or a building, the union should be positioned at the top of the flag staff unless the flag is at half-staff.
• When displaying the flag over a street, it should be hung vertically, with the union facing north or east.
• The flag should not be displayed outdoors when there is rain or snow, unless an all-weather flag is used.
• The flag should always be placed to its own right, with any other flags to the left.
Unacceptable Use of the Flag:
• The flag should never be dipped lower than a person and should only be placed upside down to signal distress.
• The flag should never be displayed, used, or stored in a way that would permit it to be easily damaged.
• The flag should never be used as drapery or for decorative purposes; red, white, and blue bunting can be used instead.
• The flag should not be embroidered or printed on any sort of temporary décor or home good (e.g., handkerchief, boxes, napkins), or anything that will be discarded after temporary usage.
• The flag should never have any additional markings, symbols, or drawings of any kind attached to it.
• The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, or carrying anything.
• The flag should never be used for advertising purposes.
• Finally, when the U.S. flag is in a condition that it is no longer able to be displayed, it should disposed of in a respectful way, preferably by burning.
Phew! And those are only some of the standards. There are even more codes of etiquette, which you can read all about at The U.S. Senate's reference page on the Federal Flag Code.
Did you get all that? Good. There will be a quiz on Friday. I kid. Happy 4th of July!

I really appreciate the sense of étiquette your Country has set for respecting this wonderful flag. I'm French and I got a particular relationship with the USA, working for TWDC, mainly traveling to the US (for tourism) but of course, not forgotting other great places to visit in the rest of the world, embrassing some of my favorite brands (RL, A&F, Apple Inc, etc.) for the consumerism side of me. I've done roadtrips in Florida, California, Nevada, Arizona and other visits and wish to discover more and more here and there...
After reading that article, I'm a bit confused as I inherited a US flag that was discarded from an Ohio Town Hall. This was a great gift from an old friend and as I recently moved into my new apartment, I was planning to display this stitched US flag totaly unfold and framed. I got that image of a huge unfold and framed US flag displayed in a staircase of the Ralph Lauren flagship store (Boulevard Saint Germain, Paris, France) the way I wanted to do at home....
Do you think this will be a disgrace and against the etiquette to do such a thing?
I would sincerely appreciate any critic.... thks anyone willing to advise me.
Sorry, I forgot: Happy 4th of July to you all!

@cyrille from Paris -- I'm so pleased that someone cares to ask. This code gets violated all the time (especially flags printed on disposable decor, and underwear...that bothers me), but the hope is that the general gist of it will be respected. Display a flag without irony or disrespect in your home and you are doing okay.
The question of destroying or displaying a damaged or weathered flag came up, nationally, with the tattered and scorched flag that was found in the wreckage of the twin towers after 9/11. Technically, it should have been burned, but it was patched and added to by people all over the country, and is to become part of an exhibit in NY.
Happy 4th!
Thank you for your comment. FYI, I asked AT Moderation to edit or delete my second post with my greetings and the ASCII flag drawing cause I've mistaken. The flag position is lowered, not raised. It was perfect before posting my message but I just was lazy to preview it and here is the result... Sorry for this.
I have seen so many variations of the flag, used as undies, disposable napkins or.... door mats (how come one could brush or wipe their shoes on her/his country's flag????).
If you need to dispose of a flag, contact your local American Legion, Veterans of Foreign War, or Boy Scout organization. Most offer flag disposal services on a regular basis, and if not they can usually point you in the right direction.
Another flag "rule" that gets violated a lot - Flags should only fly at half staff if the governor of your state has declared so for the entire state, or the president has declared it for the entire country. When flying a flag at half staff, raise it fully, then lower half way. The particular rule is on my mind b/c my state (NC) is flying flags at half staff today in memory of our National Guard airmen who died in Colorado over the weekend.
You missed the mistake that appears most often in photos on AT: "When the flag is displayed against a wall vertically or horizontally, its union (stars) should be at the top, to the flag's own right, and to the observer's left."
In particular, the flag is often hung backwards when it is hung vertically.
Is it a tradition that every US home has a flag (whether it is displayed on a balcony, frontyard, backyard, folded and stored in a drawer, etc.)?
Not cyrille from Paris it is not a tradition for every US home to have a flag.
@HOUSE VOYEUR: Ok Thanks for the precision!
Cyrille, I don't know if it still happens but when naturalized citizens are sworn in, they are presented with a brand new US flag. My parents flew theirs with pride on holidays like Memorial Day and of course, 4th of July.
If one has a flag that is in need of disposal I would recommend giving it to one of the native peoples of what is now known as the U.S.A. They will know exactly how it needs to be disposed of.
I hate the misuse of flags in the US which is almost always from ignorance. Drives me crazy. If you want patriotic displays do it the correct way with bunting or streamers.
A damaged flag is destroyed by burning it privately, not as part of a public spectacle. Public burning is a different matter - though protected by the 1st Amendment as political speech.
'I'm an American of American Indian heritage and I find your comment disgusting. Contrary to what you might think most of us are proud Americans".... I doubt your state of authority on what Native peoples think, in fact I know your wrong. If you were a real native American and new the prophecies of the elders you would see how absurd and wrong your statement is. In fact, I suspect you might have a tiny spec of native blood in you which explains your misleading statement and ability to ignore history, if you ever learned it in the first place.
In fact JDOEY I can promise you that it is you that is disgusting to the real "native peoples" of this continent. Disgusting for disrespecting all our ancestors who fell to disease, displacement and genocide under the authority of this flag. Do not shame and disrespect us by acting like you are a part of us.

Kitchen Spotlight: Teeny IKEA Kitchen
To celebrate Small Cool, here's a look at a kitchen from the most recent Apartment Therapy house tour: a big old brownstone with a teeny IKEA kitchen.
• 1 The kitchen is basically the entryway to the home, a small space for a kitchen in an otherwise huge and beautiful apartment.
• 2 The landlord recently updated the kitchen with basic IKEA cabinets.
• 3 Nicole kept the kitchen very simple and minimalist, in keeping with the rest of their home.
• 4 But we do love the fresh flowers and this simple hanging board with hooks for essential kitchen tools.
• 5 And there will be plenty of plant life: Nicole is starting 24 lavender plants!

I love all 3 of the kitchens from the comment posted above, especially the first and third ones.
Wow! That is some door! Very cool.
I'd be interested to know how the lavender plants turn out. I have yet to get lavender seeds to germinate.
I'm surprised by the full sized stove - in such a small space, why not opt for an "apartment sized" one?
i like this kitchen. so clean looking. an alternative idea is to use two induction burners and, as suggested above, a smaller stove. i'd use a convection countertop.
Our kitchen is unpleasantly tiny as well. There isn't even room for our utensils so we keep the tray on a shelf nearby. One of those typical apartment kitchens, you know. About 2 square feet of counter space. I end up chopping over the stove and dropping food into the burners. Ah well.

Twenty acres sitting along Main Street in Blacksburg are ready for development. It has been sitting empty since the Old Blacksburg Middle School was demolished nearly two years ago. Since then, what to do with it has been tied up in talks between the developer, Fiddlers Green Partners, Town of Blacksburg and Montgomery County leaders.
"Every time they had something ready to go for one project, it would change," said Jim Politis, Chairman, of the Montgomery County Board of Supervisors.
The developer of Midtown Village on Friday released plans for the property to include space for local technology companies like Modea, neighborhood shops and restaurants, and mixed-use housing.
According to Politis and a news release on Friday by Montgomery County, revenue generated off of the property could help pay down the debt incurred to build two new schools. The school system would get about $5 million for capital improvements. About $1 million per year would be generated in taxpayer revenue for the county and town.
"The sooner we get going, the sooner we get paid, and the sooner we get paid, the better off it is for the schools, county, and town," said Politis.
On Tuesday, Blacksburg leaders will vote on whether to approve a request to rezone the property to include commercial real estate, which according to Politis could have crews breaking ground by the fall.
Next week is an important one for economic development in Blacksburg.
According to Montgomery County leaders, on Monday, they are expected to lay out plans to rezone the old Blacksburg Middle School site.
The 20-acre property owned by the town and the county is slated to include Modea's headquarters, along with a hotel, and possibly a fitness center.
A town vote on Tuesday, said Blacksburg Mayor Ron Rordam, could begin the process of rezoning the property, which would mean it is one step closer to re-development.

After floundering as low as 12th place in the Western Conference during January last season, the Sharks went on one of the more impressive second-half runs in recent memory. They shot up from 12th to second but GM Doug Wilson believes the poor first half to be a major reason to why the team fell flat in their Western Conference final bout with the Vancouver Canucks.
Therefore it should come as no shock that Head Coach Todd McLellan and the rest of the Sharks have been talking about getting off to a fast start this season. However, through four games the Sharks are just 1-3. And that only win came at home against the lowly Phoenix Coyotes, a team many have predicted to finish amongst the bottom five or six teams in the entire NHL.
Now, for most teams, this 1-3 start wouldn't be a storyline. Yet this year's Sharks may be one of those exceptions. All the talk about a fast start, all the firepower and supposed defensive depth and the Sharks have just two points through four games.
Is there cause for concern this early in the season?
That depends on how convinced one is on the importance of the Sharks' record in the months of October and November. Throughout the course of the first two months or so, these struggles are almost assured to continue. Perhaps not at the rate of three losses every four games, but they certainly won't be erased at the flip of a switch. In other words, don't bank on seeing the Sharks' season long winning streak come during the next six weeks.
With all the overhaul, it will take some time for players to adjust to the tendencies of new teammates. Considering that the Sharks have seven skaters on the current roster who played elsewhere last season, there is plenty of chemistry needed to be formed. Not to mention rookies Andrew Desjardins and Tommy Wingels are still young to the show. Desjardins played in 17 games last regular season and Wingels saw action in just five.
How does the phrase go? "Rome wasn't built in a day"?
With all the changes, the Sharks have two defense pairs getting used to brand new partners and when Martin Havlat returns, three of the four forward lines will have at least one brand new player to the organization.
Not to mention the top line of Patrick Marleau, Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski is a relatively new combination. Yes, the trio spent time together on the power-play over the years but back then Pavelski mainly played the point on the man advantage.
This year's power-play look is significantly different and consequently it has yet to fire on all cylinders. If it weren't for Brent Burns' absolute pea-rod of a one-timer on a 5-on-3 Monday night, the Sharks power play would be ranked in the middle third of the league.
Dan Boyle and Brent Burns now man the points on the No. 1 unit. Sounds great but what does that really mean? Well imagine the equivalent of a young Jason Kidd and Steve Nash on the same NBA team. Two star point guards on the floor at the same time? They certainly aren't guaranteed to mesh right away. In time, however they should be a dominating force.
Right now the Sharks are going through those early season kinks trying to feel each other out. And unfortunately there is nobody who can pin point exactly how long it will take before the chemistry develops to a level where we can say "the Sharks are the hottest team in the NHL."
That will happen though, this team is too good on paper not to eventually get on an extreme tear. Barring any significant injuries (Sharks fans feel free to knock on wood) the Sharks will be a major force to be reckoned with.
But if I'm the coach or GM of a Sharks opponent, I would definitely thank the schedulers if "our" schedule has our Sharks match-ups earlier on in the season.
Now for the Sharks sake, what could help speed along the Sharks' feeling out process? Two words: Martin Havlat. One of the reasons the Sharks made the Dany Heatley-Martin Havlat swap is because they lost some forward speed when they sent Devin Setoguchi to Minnesota in the Brent Burns trade. And what can speed do? Well other than the obvious, speed can make up for mistakes.
San Jose has been making plenty of mistakes early on this season and captain Joe Thornton is right in the middle of that group not performing to his typical level. Both Thornton and second year center Logan Couture have been limited to one assist so far on the season.
But Havlat returning will do wonders. Perhaps not immediately as he's bound to have some hiccups adjusting to new players like everyone else on the team. However, his speed on the second line should open things up for the entire squad.
In each of the first three losses (two of which came against the Ducks) the opponent was clearly the faster skating team. Fortunately Havlat is one of the fastest skaters in the game today and his presence alone can help change that trend. The Sharks are hopeful their star winger will be ready to make his debut Friday in New Jersey and if he is cleared for action, he'll be quite the welcomed sight on the ice.

Membase 1.7.1 on Linux, setting up CentOS 64-bit
Following the steps here:
Installed Apache2
Installed Php 5.3.3
Copied memcached.so here:
ldd /usr/lib64/php/modules/memcached.so
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007ffffdf5d000)
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libz.so.1 (0x00002acd95e8d000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00002acd960a2000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000003090a00000)
Edited /etc/php.ini
Set the timezone (New York)
Added to the section:
; Dynamic Extensions ;
Restarted httpd:
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
Created a php file with phpinfo.
And when httpd starts it logs the following error:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib64/php/modules/memcached.so' - /usr/lib64/php/modules/memcached.so: undefined symbol: memcached_touch in Unknown on line 0
What did I miss?
That looks correct to me, as we've bundled everything in. We'll have a look at it.
Wasted half a day trying to build php and extensions...
This was much easier.
I downloaded the updated rpms to upgrade to php5.3.6:
Uninstall php5.3.3
(as root)
Download these from the latest at IUS: http://www.applesauceman.com/ius/stable/Redhat/5/x86_64/
yum install php53u-pear && yum install php53u php53u-cli && yum install php53u-common && yum install php53u-devel && yum install php53u-gd && yum install php53u-mbstring && yum install php53u-mcrypt && yum install php53u-mysql && yum install php53u-pdo && yum install php53u-soap && yum install php53u-xml && yum install php53u-xmlrpc && yum install php53u-bcmath && yum install php53u-pecl-apc && yum install php53u-pecl-memcache && yum install php53u-snmp && yum install phpu-mssql
pressed 'y' a bunch of times.
And then I had the memcache Linux client running on CentOS 5 64-bit in under 10 minutes!!!!!!
Apologies that it didn't work out of the box. It is intended to, and we'll resolve what's causing the issue.
I think this is okay for you, but just so you know the version you're running is standard pecl-memcache, which is not the preferred client in either the Couchbase or memcached community. I'd highly recommend you look at pecl-memcached.
The client we provide is built atop pecl-memcached and it has some new functionality compatible with Couchbase Server 2.0 developer preview. From what you posted, it's something with this new functionality that was the problem for you. We're looking into it and I'll update this thread when we have an answer.
This looks like packaging bug on our end, I opened http://couchbase.org/issues/browse/PCBC-17 to track this.
Thanks for the report!
Wow this looks rudimentary!
I'm thinking of replacing my Postgresql with Couchbase (membase as it's now called? This is supremely confusing).
My database on a high traffic website has over 70 million records. Is membase even in contention as a smart nosql replacement?
I already use PHP 5.3.8 and memcached 1.4.10. All works, but memcached's role is just to ease the SELECT burden on Postgresql. All my code for INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE still goes to postgresql (persistent storage) so I am wondering...
1 . Are membase 1.7.2 or couchbase 2.0 ready to play this role of replacing a proper RDBMS that's just not fast enough?
2. I need a simple *procedural* code sample to look at to see how to add records to membase, how to edit them, how to delete them, etc. Is this the same as with the memcache code, based on key/value pairs? I do NOT NOT NOT want any "OOP" code please. No classes and constructions, just simple functions to get the job done in a few lines. Possible?
Much appreciate your reading this, and any directions/advice.
On number one, the answer is yes. It's a yes with a caveat, as you didn't describe which of the many "proper RDBMS" features you need. Membase effectively approximates what you would do by sharding your RDBMS and putting memcached in front of it. Couchbase Server 2.0 (currently in developer preview) goes a few steps further by giving you Couch views (a method of incrementally processing data through MapReduce to access it in different ways).
On number two, the answer to "Is this the same as with the memcache code?" the answer is yes. If you use JSON for the data items you put in the server, you'll be able to do quite a bit more once Couchbase Server 2.0 ships.
Hope that helps,
The RDBMS is postgresql. I'm from the SQL world. I see zero code samples for people like me, of which I bet there are gazillions, to INSERT/UPDATE/SELECT/DELETE records.
So, again: is there a simple procedural PHP code sample somewhere that shows me HOW to access the database, put records into it, get records from it?
For memcached, I just serialize a regular array and save it with a key/value pair. But there are many keys to access the data -- one may be the record ID, but another may be the user saving the record. I may sometimes need the user to be the "key" in the key/value pair, for example when showing a logged in user only his records. In the RDBMS world, this is straightforward. In the key/value NoSQL world, how does this map?
I need basic startup help for now. All the geek speak about MapReduce and all is probably for much later.
Thanks for any pointers!
Just as an FYI, this bug is still about. I just hit it in CentOs 6.2. Both the prebuild package, and compiling from source (which, btw, doesn't work right, I had to hack some manifest files) have the same issue.
I'm facing the same issue. I'm trying to make memcached run with PHP on CentOS.

The Curious Cat
{ 1 comment }
- November 9, 2010 at 12:39 pm
As I find a moment to comfortably sit, a cat immediately attempts to jump into my lap. Wrangling for affection, I pursue his line of discourse momentarily before gently pushing him away –
"That's enough Mr. Bones"
He gives me a look and a merve, tail in the air, he strolls from the room.
In comes THING 1. Holding Halloween candy – with a large yellow leak from his nostril hanging on the edge of his lip.
"Oh jeez, look at you. Come here" Reach for Kleenex… no Kleenex, grab toilet paper.
"Blow" Delivered like a line from a movie. Only this is just not so glamorous.
"What do you have there?" I ask, pretending I didn't notice he somehow managed to break into the junk cupboard to get out the goods.
"Can I have some candy?"
"What's the magic word?" why do I have to remind him of this every single day more times a day than I can count?
"You're going to share with your brother, right?" I ask as I open the pack of rockets.
In comes THING 2. Bottle hanging out of his mouth, dragging dirty, much loved "boo" (once white now a distinguished grey colored blanket). There is also a large yellow leak on the edge of his lip. How fun.
"Here lumpy, come get some candy"
"Yah CONDEEEEE!!!!!!!" he drops everything for beloved sugar. That is what he would live on if I let him – chips and sugar. They each take their handfuls, letting out inaudible noises. I like to pretend they are "thank you" and "You're the best mom". I pretend lots of things.
Candy divided both creatures leave the room – and I finally have a moment to relax long enough to finish peeing.
!!! to having a moment to pee !!!

Ojeramup12: If I work on CPVC, do I keep or discard the "plastic bushing" ?
Viseth Sen: good job sir
Tyrone Johnson: Thanx for this detailed vid. Good stuff!!!
Michael Short: Awesome video on how these fittings work. Thank you!
ronnykizzizl: Nice video, Vince. Thank you very much. You gave me the knowledge and confidence to do it myself.
Leesherwood: I have a bunch of shark bites in my basement on a shower installation. 6 yrs. now. Not a drip. Great in places where flammables can catch on fire from your torch. Great video, nice and detailed. I'm very satisfied with this product.
Kenneth Gaydon: Great video Vince.
fishingindeepwater: Thanks Vince. I think the same way also about the house. When I'm gone the house will still be standing. At least the house took care of me. O ya. Shark bite fittings are great. I had a pin hole leak by the softener in the basement and the city valve to the house wouldn't shut down all the way. Soldering was impossible. So I did the shark thing. I'm a happy camper for life. Thanks for the video friend.
Joshua Sandefur: Hello sir, just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed watching your video. I just bought a house about a year ago and my washing machine valves are leaking so I'm going to use the push on connectors as you did. Thanks for the tips I think that it will be a no brainier. As a side note I love doing something myself especially when I can save some money in the process. Thanks again!
〈Porch 918〉: Thanks for the video.I am (eventually/gradually) going to Shark Bite.Can you use copper 3/4" on one end with pvc on the other end?Its for water from meter.
chosenvanh01: Thanks for the videos, I just out this videos about shark bite after I spend $250 for plumber, plumber use the shark bite on my shower pipe, great videos next time I will the shark bite on my whole house
MrTwelles: When the shark bites... with its teeth yeah! well it real-ly ...holds the pipe!! Thank you for showing all the details and the entire project...excellent
malachy1847: You can use a Plastic pipe saddle u clamp, the same size as the pipe to push back on the collet bush if you have missing their special tool to decompress same....... great video......
jasen ratnam: i would use these more like a tempory install not a permanante install
Jack Hammer: Vince, that's a great video. The story of the FD coming at the end is a good reminder why we look for innovative ways to do things better. Your video really helped me get a handle on this as a DIY homeowner. Thanks!
Deborah Maguire: Hi Vince. It simply means that I take as many classes as I can on embroidery, Brother/Babylock and PE- Design NEXT and we all know your videos.
Al Smith: Good video.
Vince J. Arcuri: Nice to hear that Deborah-:)
Deborah Maguire: Vince, Canada loves you!!! You are famous up here. May we request more videos with your Brother Innovis please??
copperloop: If I'm only dealing with copper pipes, what would happen if I don't remove that plastic sleeve inside?
Deborah Maguire: I subscribe to your channel and as such, am informed of any new videos you release. When I realized this video was not in my area of interest, I thought I'd drop you a line. I love old sewing machines and embroidery so these are the videos I enjoy very much from you. I personally run PE-Design NEXT software, which I learned to operate through watching your videos and use a Babylock Ellisimo, virtually identical to your Brother Innovis.
Vince J. Arcuri: Sony HDR-FX1 with 1 x close up lens. I have 4 Sony's for my you tube productions.
dennydeckerful: I've never removed the plastic insert when using copper with Sharkbite. It seems to work for me.
Vince J. Arcuri: dennydeckerful The purpose of the plastic is to hold the PEX plastic tubing from collapsing when the stainless sharkbite teeth push down on it. When you install a copper pipe which needs the stainless teeth pushing and gripping the copper, you move the plastic insert into the fitting, which creates an unneeded slight restriction within the copper pipe, you would never know unless you were to do a controlled flow test with and without the insert inside the copper pipe. "WHO KNEW. ..." Vince~~~~
Leslie Bryant: The Sharkbite coupling that you are using with the gray end is meant to be used with copper/CPVC/Pex to the old gray Qest poly pipe, that's why it has the gray collar,just thought you should know, this is a really great demonstration video, Sharkbite Fittings are the bomb!!!!
dennydeckerful: I don't know. Lowes has a product that says to remove the plastic piece. Home Depot says you don't, at the store I shop. Not sure, but haven't had any problem for last several years.
Vince J. Arcuri: You have to release the positive pressure by shutting off the main water valve or a valve in the section of the exterior pipe if that is possible. Then try to drain the water from this line, or if you know there is no pressure, when you cut into the pipe where you wish to place the shark bite fitting, place a pail under the cut area , have extra pails handy. ...but I am sure you know this; sorry for implying otherwise. ...:) Vince * Happy plumbing.
PartTronics: Great Video!, what camera are you using to make this video?
Michael Brady: Really Really good job. taught me something i never knew and the two smiles were priceless. Seems like a real CRAFTSMAN. thanks
bingobongo445: I use Shark Bite fittings on most of the plumbing in my home,and have had no problems with it.
Vince J. Arcuri: copperloop The plastic is used for support for the pvc or plastic pipes, if your using copper the pipe will not fit into the fitting. Also it is good idea to use the blue lettering or L thickness copper pipe, it cost a few dollars more an 8 foot length, The thickness are K,L and M, with M,(red lettering) being being the thinnest and cheapest. In time, I have found that the thin M pipe develop porosity's and spring pin hole leaks with water pressure 80 + psi as I have, it does take 15, 20 years.
Vince J. Arcuri: copperloop Sharkbite® sell a removing tool for this plastic insert, however, I have been just pulling them out with a needle nose pliers.
Vince J. Arcuri: Thank you eugene
Vince J. Arcuri: Hi again why are you talking about the brother NV 2800D and watching my "sharkbite video?" -:)
mrtodd3620: What happens if you use copper pipe but don't remove the plastic liner in the fitting? Do all fittings have the liner? I don't remember seeing them in the 3/4" ball valve I installed today.
Vince J. Arcuri: Larry Wiring, wood and insulation is always at risk when you using a torch within a few inches of building materials, you are concentrating on the flame, copper and solder.
Eugene Scott: Good video... learned a lot. Thanks!
eddie navarro: Thank you sir.
Vince J. Arcuri: Dennydeckerful Where do you think the plastic insert goes with the copper installed over it. ...
Vince J. Arcuri: Nothing will happen, the copper pipe will not go in the sharkbite fitting; the plastic is needed to support just the PEX plastic tubing if used.
Vince J. Arcuri: Hi Malachy Thank you for sharing that information with the viewers. Vince
Vince J. Arcuri: Hi Deborah Could expand on " You are famous up here" :) I find that interesting. ... Vince
Vince J. Arcuri: Jasen Nothing is permanent, I am living in my home now 42 years, pipes I had installed back in the 80's and 90's are springing links, not at the fittings, but in the actual pipe walls, then develop tiny tin holes, when you see them leaking, they look like a spider web thread. The old galvanized pipe cut and threaded lasts longer. Take your choice depending on you time and or money. Vince
Vince J. Arcuri: Hi Deborah Sure, most of my videos have been with the brother pe 770. The Brother Innov-is 2800D is an expensive sewing/embroidery machine, I paid with tax $3,500.00 Vince
LO2FORJESUS: Great video. I'm going to attempt this tomorrow myself. Mine is on a exterior pipe that goes into the wall. I am hoping there Isn't too much pressure for me to use a shark bite. Thanks again for the video.
catzndolz: awesome video Vince!
Larry Bender: Is that a live wire to the right of your video? It looks as if the covering is off of the white wire and looks like something was burning at one time. Thanks for the info on connecting shark valves........Great work and patience explaining all that is needed to install new valves.

Injured MBTA officer to be released from rehab
After close to a month at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital recovering from injuries, MBTA Officer Richard Donahue will be heading home.
A bullet severed Donohue's femoral artery when he was caught in a shootout with Boston bombing suspects, brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. He suffered tremendous blood loss, went into cardiac arrest and had surgeries on both legs. Now, a two months later, nerve damage causes pain; at times so severe it wakes him at night.
Donohoue has been progressing, though, and will depart Spaulding at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow, guided by his family, clinical team and members of the MBTA police officers.

Throw out the records anytime Aplington-Parkersburg and Dike-New Hartford meet on the gridiron.
Friday night the third-ranked Wolverines were savoring the opportunity to beat the Falcons --and give A-P its first losing season since its 1991 consolidation.
After the Falcons opening drive stalls they were forced to punt and Byron Fritch comes up with the big block and Connor Ragsdale jumps on it at the 26.
Two plays later, Carson Parker taking it himself up the middle for 8 and the touchdown -- 7-0 D-NH.
On the ensuing Falcon drive, 4 and 3 from the Wolverine 21, and Corbin Brungardt takes it himself around the outside and to the house to knot the game at 7-all.
The Wolverines would respond as they march the field and Levi Lynch shedding would-be tacklers up the middle for 15 yards and a 14-7 lead.
In the 2nd the Falcons were looking for more but a goal line stands forces a Nick Waller 27-yard field goal to cut the lead to 4 and make the score 14-10.
On the ensuing Wolverine drive, they were looking for more, and Parker finds Preston Wheat weaving his way in and out-- takes it 60 yards down to the 2.
That sets up Levi Lynch to give the Wolverines 21-10.
Falcons respond Brady Frey from one yard out, 21-16 D-NH.
Opening drive of the third the Wolverines would put in another touchdown, and they go on to win 40-16.

Terrace farming
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Terrace farming is a type of farming that was developed first by the Inca people. This method of farming uses "steps", called andenes, that are built into the side of a mountain or hill. On each anden, various crops are planted, and when it rains, instead of washing away all of the nutrients in the soil, the nutrients are carried down to the next level. Additionally, these "steps" prevent a free flowing avalanche of water that would take plants with it and destroy the all of the crops on the hillside. This system also allowed them to build aqueducts, which carried water to each andenes. The Incas built their aqueduct system so well that it is still used today. Terrace farming is often used by the Chinese in their rice farms.

Making critical decisions about end of life care shouldn't be made during a crisis, but they should be made by you. Sioux Falls Dr. Michael Tobin is going to help broach a difficult topic before you find yourself in a very difficult situation.
Dr. Michael Tobin, an Internist with the Main McGreevy Clinic Avera in Sioux Falls has also been the Medical Director at Avera Prince of Peace since it opened in 1986. He has watched as our aging population has grown in size and long term care facilities like Prince of Peace expand to accommodate. That demand is only going get greater especially when you consider in January of this year 10,000 Baby Boomers a day started to enroll in Social Security and it's going to continue for the next 20 years.
Dr. Tobin says, "There's a large number in that group who will become more debilitated, frail and have 3 or 4 chronic illnesses who might run into a crisis in their health care and have to make a decision on how aggressive they want to be treated."
If your health is declining, do you want extraordinary measures to be performed to keep you alive? Do you want resuscitation? Intubation? A feeding tube?
Avera Home Hospice Manager Linda Schmid says, "One of the problems you get in to during a crisis is you can't think straight. It is important people have choices at end of life or as the disease progresses. It's good to be educated and informed.
Schmid says an Advanced Directive (a living will and a durable power of attorney for health care) is important for everyone not just those who are terminally ill. The experts say if you don't express your wishes it could end up a battle at the bedside because then family members are left to guess what you would have wanted. It can tear families up. By deciding a head of time, it takes the pressure off the ones you love.
Schmid say, "If you don't put it in writing, if you don't tell your doctor, if you don't tell your family you have everything done to you until someone says stop."
I know he didn't invent it, but my dad always said there are two things you can always count on in this life; death and taxes. We can't control when we die, but sometimes we can control the manner. It's your destiny. You decide. Then document.
Dr. Tobin is the guest speaker for the "Planning for the Future" Seminar on May 20th from 6:30 to 7:30 pm at Avera Prince of Peace in Sioux Falls. It's free but you need to register by calling (605) 322-5600.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! But there's still stuff to do around the city that doesn't involve stuffing your face with red and green cookies and drinking all the eggnog. Especially if you still haven't put away the menorah.
Brooklyn heats Saturday night up with a wave of synths and a cookie takedown. Get your last-minute shop on with our holiday guide or sing along with Cartman. And if food's what your fancying, try some new East Village Cuban grub or nab some short ribs in an old pawn shop-turned-lounge.
Come Saturday night, the electro kids are taking over Brooklyn at the annual Brooklyn Electronic Music Fest. From up-and-comers to household names, DJ and producers alike, check out 25 national and local acts.
As Hanukkah winds down, the Major League Dreidel folks heat things up. Forgo that reindeer sweater for some new Williamsburg threads, dance to Daft Punk, and get your gastropub cinema on.
Looking to make plans around the holidays? If music's what you into - you're in luck. On the menu for December 2010: Full album performances, the latest British buzz-band, trip hop collaborators, the return of Prince and more.
Coming up this week: celebrate Hanukkah with a hearty combination of latkes and beer, unleash your inner Kanye, lay down in a sonic bed, and top it all off with mobile falafel and...rectangular pizza?
Sure, New York is packed full of your expected holiday shopping options, but what if you wanted to steer clear of 5th Avenue and get a little more off the grid? Lucky for you, MetroWize has pulled together some of the best pop-up shops, craftaculars and holiday markets to help you find your loved ones a little something extra special.
This week's agenda? Step 1: Stuff your face with turkey. Step 2: Drink lots of wine. Step 3: Avoid the family for the rest of the weekend with one of these events.
After an entire Thanksgiving day with your family getting drunk on wine and asking embarrassing questions, you're gonna be in the market for a breather. So wipe the gravy off your paws and get stoked on dancing off those dead bird calories at Terminal 5 for Hard NYC Turkey Soup.
Things are starting to wind down for the Thanksgiving holiday (five bucks says you're reading this instead of working), but this week in New York there's some new food in the hood, holiday pop-up shopping, 900 types of beer, and a celebration of the Boy Who Lived.
Whether you're looking to party with Metric, sneak into the basement of the ol' CBGB, or grab one of a thousand slices being given away for free this week - MetroWize has your party, hunger and music needs quenched.
Sometimes, getting music fans to mingle and play nice is like trying to get the middle school boys to dance with the girls. It just ain't gonna happen. But as Marty McFly once proved, things can always change.
We say Tour de France, you say... muscle-y bicyclists and Lance Armstrong? Not this time. Welcome to the Tour de France NYC's 14th annual Sausage & Beer festival!
You may've seen a big circus tent up in Damrosch Park lately...but don't worry, it's not full of evil clowns (at least we don't think so).
This week, heavy metal hamburgers, fancy schmancy Italian fare, a CMJ alternative, arty YouTube vids, and a punk rock Halloween smorgasbord await you on the streets of New York...

Whether you're in the mood to deck out as a downtown zombie, sneak your way into the ultimate music biz gathering, shop around for the latest fashion, art and design, or just chow down on some mobiule BBQ - we've got the best of what New York's offering up this week!
CMJ is almost upon us! We know it's hard to separate all the wolf / eyes / bear / tree bands, so here's our take on the highlights so far.
All dressed up and nowhere to go? The Tao Group has you covered, bringing the LAVO New York experience all the way from Sin City.
Kick off the month of October by treating your palate to some bbq, pizza, Mex fare and meaty meat - then wash it all down with hearty beers at Oktoberfest.

Halloween in New York is always an epic affair. Between decked-out haunted houses, over-the-top parties, masked pub crawls, extravagant costumes and - of course - the Village Halloween Parade, there's never a lack of parties or events to attend. Here's our guide to the best of the best for New York's 2010 Halloween.
Hearty drinks vs. healthy fare, thrifty threads, Downtown arts, and a spooky celebration of the boob tube
Looking for something a little different? This week is packed with Brooklyn's thriftiest shopping scene, the Downtown art scene, the newest bars and burgers, 90s TV Parties and a whole lot more.
From the people behind those no pants subway rides and impromptu musicals that freak out all the tourists comes MP3 Experiment #7.
An East Village bar plying dark spirits, a burger joint worth mentioning, the Bike Brooklyn Beer Blitz and NY Beer Crawl collide, and three prestigious film and TV festivals hit town this week
If the phrase "Fall lineup" gets you in the mood for loud guitars, tight pants, and drunk girls spilling beer on your new kicks - hop on your fixie (or the L, whichever works) and mosey over to the Music Hall of Williamsburg (replacement kicks not included).

Chris' Industrial "Dreamer's Dream" Office
Lofts and wide open spaces can be quite a challenge to decorate. Creating separate spaces in one large space is difficult to do, but amazingly successful when it's done right. We've found someone whose talents range from their design studio into their home.
Chris' industrial studio has jumped to the top of our list of favorite home offices. Maybe the success of the space has something to do with being an interior designer and lighting professional, but, we like to think anyone can achieve a winning loft layout.
The idea of creating closed off spaces in a large wide open room isn't the best choice. It's better to keep each space open, all the while making it obvious they are meant to be separate. We can obviously see where the bedroom is, then where the office starts and ultimately where the living room is. However, they all mesh and flow as one large space.
The office is right in the middle of the room and works as a buffer between the living and bedroom. An interesting item to note: the size of the desk. Most would think a large desk wouldn't work in a space like this, but it works really well. It's the same size as the sofa and doesn't appear obtrusive or too bulky &mdash the same goes for the chair.
Another notable piece &mdash the projection screen. It's uniquely hung from the bookshelf made of pipes. It appears Chris got creative and used carabiner's to hang the screen! If they're strong enough to hold the weight of a person while rock climbing, they can definitely hold a screen.

Yep, just spotted his place at AT. Awesome awesome loft design!
Can you tell me where you got this desk or did you have it custom made? I love it!

Talk:Automatically edit project configuration in Nokia IDE at build-time
Hamishwillee - Subedit for wiki style
Hi Spiretos
Thanks for this - very useful indeed! I have subedited for English and wiki style. Note that this was all pretty good, so more matter of taste than what you had being wrong.
I also updated the categories. We're now using a wiki hierarchy so we typically don't have "Tools for Java" and "Java". Normally we wouldn't have both "Tools" and "Eclipse" topics either, but wasn't sure about removing tools.
The only comment I had was that we might improve the title - since Eclipse is implied by "Nokia IDE". Maybe from "Automatically edit project configuration in Nokia IDE with Eclipse" to "Automatically edit project configuration in Nokia IDE at build-time"
Thanks again
hamishwillee (talk) 08:45, 3 September 2013 (EEST)
Hamishwillee - Thanks for renaming
Next time round I'll delete the comments as you've addressed them.

Innovations in Oral Health
Home > About Bouvé > Innovations in Oral Health
Dear Bouvé Community,
Through generous funding support from the DentaQuest Foundation, a national model for interprofessional education and collaborative practice to improve oral health will be established at Northeastern University Bouvé College of Health Sciences. The DentaQuest Foundation is committed to optimal oral health for all Americans through its support of prevention and access to affordable care, and through its partnerships with funders, policymakers and community leaders.
Innovations in Interprofessional Oral Health Care: Technology, Instruction, Practice, and Service (TIPS) launched at a special event on Monday, September 9, 2013 from 3:00 to 5:00 pm at The Cabral Center, John D. O'Bryant African American Institute, Northeastern University, Boston, MA. The keynote speaker was John Auerbach, Distinguished Professor of Practice and Director of the Institute on Urban Health Research at Northeastern University.
Collaborative leaders representing medicine, dentistry, public health, nursing, pharmacy, allied health professions, and higher education were invited to advance the dialogue on interprofessional education and collaborative practice for optimal oral health. Participation at this event helped us make visible the "silent epidemic" of oral diseases, oral health disparities and inequities; and advance our mission to improve oral health particularly for our most vulnerable and underserved populations.

The United States is used to being a world leader, but this time, it's bad news for American jobs and growth: As of Apr. 1, we now have the highest corporate tax rate of all the industrialized nations in the world.
Japan has officially reduced its combined corporate tax rate from 39.5 percent to 38.01 percent, leaving the U.S. in the dubious position of being number one in anti-competitiveness with a current combined rate of 39.2 percent. That's right: Our combined corporate tax rate, and federal rate at 35 percent, leaves us in a weaker position relative to other leading economies. That's the bad news. The good news is that there is a sensible solution to lowering it and many signs that, in a surprising turn of events, the political will to achieve it exists in both parties.
In February, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner announced the outlines of a plan to reduce the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 28 percent. Meanwhile, House Republican leaders have united around an even lower rate of 25 percent – the worldwide average tax rate among Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries.
So now the negotiations begin – even during an election year. A rate more in line with the OECD average coupled with the elimination of special interest tax credits and deductions has broad support among policymakers and in the business community. When President Ronald Reagan and congressional Democrats took this approach in the 1980s, it set off a period of record economic growth that produced millions of new jobs and laid the foundation for a period of prosperity that lasted two decades.
It also proved to be a model for the world, much of which followed suit. Over the last 20 years, America's competitors have lowered their top corporate rates to levels as low as 12.5 percent and 8.5 percent in the cases of Ireland and Switzerland, while the U.S. has not. This has significantly affected America's ability to compete in an increasingly interconnected global economy. Reforming the tax code presents an opportunity to level the playing field and have every U.S. corporation pay the same, competitive rate. By doing so, we create a fairer, more streamlined code with a broadened base that makes the United States an attractive place to do business.

Just as every good book has to have an ending, unfortunately so do those book's scribes: children's author E.L. Konigsburg has passed away at the age of 83. The famed writer behind 1968's beloved Newberry Medal winning book From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler died on April 19 according to Entertainment Weekly. The cause of death has yet to be released.
Konigsburg did something unprecendented in 1997 when she won her second Newberry Award (for The View From Saturday) 29 years after her first - making it the longest span of time for one author to win the prestigious award. The American author was also a talented illustrator with multiple young adult books to her name.
Konigsburg may be gone, but her books like From The Mixed-Up Files Of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler will live on for generations to come.
