Theme: Leading Out
Monterey, CA, United States
April 13th, 2013
Watch video from the event
About this event
In an emerging world defined by accelerating change, interdependence, complexity, uncertainty, and interconnection, we are on a quest. The familiar boundaries that once defined place, space, thought, and discipline have been lifted from the map. What if we inspired a renaissance in curiosity, imagination, and community leading us out of our status quo and into new realms of knowledge, opportunity, and possibility?
Confirmed Speakers
Brian Bajari
Brian works as a crisis minister and spiritual director in Monterey with homeless/outdoorliving populations and internationally in refugee camps & war-torn regions with former child soldiers and sex slaves. Compassion and presence form the universal language of renewal & transformation. (Care Corps Intl., Gathering by the Bay, Pass the Word).
Kevin Brookhouser
Kevin has been teaching English and history for over fifteen years beginning as a graduate fellow teaching world literature and creative writing at Lynchburg College. After earning his M.Ed., Kevin moved to Crested Butte, Colorado to instruct snowboarding in the mornings and English and history in the afternoons at a ski academy for aspiring Olympians. From there, Kevin moved to San Francisco to float on the dot-com bubble, working in the marketing department of an online auction company until the call back to teach rang too loudly, at which time he moved to Squaw Valley to teach in the classroom and on the snow once again. In 2002 Kevin and his new bride, Beth, moved to her hometown, Monterey County, to pursue his teaching career at York and her career at the SPCA. Kevin currently teaches the sophomore English class, which is a blend of a traditional English class with a significant portion of new media studies. Shakespeare is definitely on the agenda, but so is podcasting, filmmaking, and audience building. Kevin uses technology as a central component in all of his classes, and he has recently been named a Google Certified Teacher. Kevin is the founder of grmr.me, a resource for writing teachers and students, which highlights the most common writing errors. The site contains videos on how to identify and fix the errors. Students can then quiz themselves, and once they have completed the quizzes successfully, they earn a badge.

For the first time, she was in the middle of a mental health crisis. Fighting to save her life and the life of her unborn son, Maureen visited 29 professionals before she got the help she needed. Desperate to put a name to what happened to her and find out why she went untreated for so long, Maureen and fellow pregnancy and postpartum mood disorder survivor, Jennifer Silliman, embark on a journey to uncover the unspoken story of mothers in the documentary film Dark Side of the Full Moon. Maureen Fura is a freelance video producer and storyteller. She lives in Miami with her husband, two beautiful boys and big black lab Sam.

Marc Shargel
Marc Shargel began showing his underwater photographs professionally in 1988. He had learned to dive a decade before that, while he was a student of biology and psychology at Stanford University, in 1978. Shargel spent the summer of '78 studying Marine Biology at Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove, and he hasn't stopped diving since. As a teenager, he learned to develop and enlarge his own photographs, but it was the images he encountered underwater that motivated him to return to photography. Shargel has dived the California Coast from Humboldt County to San Diego. His underwater photo expeditions have taken him to such far-flung destinations as British Columbia, México, Hawaii, Bali, the Caribbean, the Red Sea, and the Galápagos and Revillagigedos archipelagos. In his decades of time spent under the sea, Marc Shargel has noticed slow but relentless decreases in marine life. In 2000 he participated in founding the first of two marine conservation organizations along California's central coast that he helped to lead. From 2004 to 2006 he served on a state panel charged with doing something that had never been done before: to protect a network of marine habitats along the central coast by mapping out a series of marine reserves—no take areas—to function as refuges and nurseries for everything living in our ocean. In 2007, those new marine reserves went into effect. The state's process to make the network of marine reserves state-wide moved on to other regions, and so did Shargel. He began to create coffee table books, to communicate visually to decision makers and the public exactly what the proposed areas might protect. In 2008 his first book of photography, Wonders of the Sea: North Central California's Living Marine Riches, was published. He has since published two more volumes in the series, one on Far Northern California and one on Southern California. Ironically, the last portion of the state, on which he has yet to produce a book, is his native Central California.
Scott Snibbe
Scott Snibbe is a media artist, filmmaker, and entrepreneur. Whether on mobile devices or in public spaces, his work spurs people to participate socially, emotionally, and physically. His creations are strongly influenced by cinema: particularly animation and surrealist film; and often mix live and filmed performances with real-time interaction. Snibbe's artwork is in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art and The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). His large-scale interactive projects have been incorporated into concert tours, Olympics, science museums, airports, and other major public spaces and events, and he has collaborated on interactive projects with musicians and filmmakers including Björk and James Cameron. In the 1990s, Snibbe was one of the co-developers of the special effects software Adobe After Effects. Snibbe's work is produced through his two companies: Snibbe Interactive, creating interactive exhibits and events; and Snibbe Studio, producing apps for mobile devices.
Belle Yang
Belle, subject of the PBS documentary, "My Name is Belle," is often asked whether she is primarily a writer or a painter. Answer: "When I'm writing, I'm a writer; when I'm painting, I'm a painter." Born in Taiwan, Belle spent part of her childhood in Japan. At age seven she immigrated to the United States with her family. She attended Stirling University in Scotland, graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz, in biology but went on to study art at Pasadena Art Center College of Design and the Beijing Institute of Traditional Chinese Painting. She worked and traveled in China for three years and returned to the United States late in 1989 after the Tiananmen Massacre. She returned with gratitude in her heart for the freedom of expression given her in America, certain she would firmly grasp this gift with both hands.
Qianxi Xiao
Qianxi Xiao is a second-year translation student at Monterey Institute of International Studies. He is also pursuing Master of Translation and Interpreting at Sun Yat-sen University in South China, graduating in June, 2013. He got his BA in English Teaching from Bijie University in Southwest China and was a visiting student at Shandong University of Science and Technology in Northeast China. Being a TED volunteer translator adds more passion to his two-year freelance translator experience (Chinese and English). He is also a backpacker who loves walking and appreciates the beauty of nature.
Mark Lukach
Mark is a freelance writer based out of San Francisco's Ocean Beach, where he finds the soothing snoring of his bulldog and the chill of the fog a perfect backdrop for getting work done. When he's not typing away at his laptop, he loves to get outdoors and play in the ocean, ride his bike for way too long, or run barefoot on the beach. His greatest design accomplishment is in his ability to make the perfect milkshake.
Shawn Harris
Shawn Daniel Harris is a graduate candidate at the Monterey Institute of International Studies. He specializes in the field of Security and Development and conducts research in the areas of small arms control, anti-money laundering, economic development and program monitoring and evaluation. In the last six years he has traveled extensively throughout the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia.
Ailis Dooner
Ailis is a sophomore at Carmel High School in Carmel, California. From the time she was a sea turtle-loving toddler, awestruck by the wonders of the Monterey Bay Aquarium or Zion National Park, she has interacted with the world around her through a lens of inquiry. Her insatiable curiosity took her to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair as a freshman in high school, and she is currently investigating a new class of novel, algae-derived amino acids for potential application in the prevention and treatment of the world's most fatal cancer, lung carcinoma, with promising results. Ailis is also passionate about marine conservation and environmental education, and is a Teen Conservation Leader at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, sipping iced chai with friends, and teaching and playing clarinet. She completed the 230 mile John Muir Trail as a 13 year old backpacker, and summitted the highest peak in the continental United States with her family. For Ailis, science is all about asking questions, being creative, and thinking about things in new ways.
Charley Ruegger
Charley Ruegger is currently an MBA student at the Monterey Institute of International Studies. Originally from New England with a BA from the University of Vermont in Russian and Japanese, Charley has spent two of the last 3 years living in Yaroslavl, Russia, pursuing small business interests and independent studies in Russian labor law.

Pro Bono Services - A Critical Need
The DC Access to Justice Commission has issued an urgent call for more pro bono lawyers to represent low-income residents in the District. In its report entitled, Justice for All? An Examination of the Civil Legal Needs of the District of Columbia's Low-Income Community, http://www.dcaccesstojustice.org/files/CivilLegalNeedsReport.pdf, the Commission found "what many in our community know all too well – unaddressed civil legal problems can have a devastating impact on a person or family, and there are far too few legal resources available to help people in need." The statistics are shocking, particularly in family law cases. In DC Superior Court:
- 98% of the parties in civil protection order cases have no lawyer
- 77% of people seeking custody of their children or a divorce proceed without counsel
- 38% of people seeking to adopt children have to represent themselves in court
Surely, we can do better. Founded in 2008 as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, the DCVLP addresses the urgent need for more pro bono family law lawyers by tapping into an unused resource: experienced lawyers who have left full-time legal practice and want to use their legal skills to help the community. The DCVLP recruits, trains and supports these volunteers so that they can help local families achieve stability and security in their lives.

Interesting Days To Celebrate As Gluten Free
Once a person is detected to have an allergy towards a food product, the entire family needs to make a lifestyle change. There is surely a compromise but so much of hope for people with the Celiac disease. Being gluten sensitive does not mean that you will need to sacrifice the bagel and muffin which you love to bake and cook. Along with the same, you can also have a special party day with so many ready items that come in frozen and as shelf foods. Traveling is no more a chore if you are paranoid thinking what is gluten free and not. You can have the products shipped to your destination and not really worry about the adverse effects of eating the hotel food. Eating a different food is not entirely required though the solution is to look for gluten free food products.
Pack up an entire kit of gluten free products in a picnic basket and enjoy with your family. If you know that your kid is allergic to wheat, you can surely buy the ready biscuits, sauces and steak dressing which are labeled as gluten free. If you are really worried about what your kid is going to eat at the birthday party, you can mention the same to the host and send a pack along with his favorite pie or cake and some corn wafers too. A bit of care and precaution will do wonders to keep your family happy? There is an easy way to make these amendments as you can order online or speak to an attendant at a store on the landline and get the required products.
Has your wife been detected of Celiac disease? Make a special evening for her with an entire pack of gluten free food delivered as a surprise. Easy, convenient and payable online, the stores are ready to ship the food for you. Take pride in choosing the best and yummiest gluten free dough's, pizza mixes and dressings for salads and stock them for your parents. They will surely be delighted to see your concern about their gluten intake. Make a brunch session with your friends and turn it into a reunion party. Have a pot luck party where each person can bring in a meal that is gluten free. Gluten sensitive people can have a full life except that they need to look for the right product.
Do you miss your dad who is a different location and is gluten sensitive? Make this year's Father's Day special by sending a hamper of gluten free snacks. Take your mother shopping on the Mother's Day and get the wide eyed look in her face as you choose the exclusively range of products that are gluten free. It is great to know that butter and creams for sensitive skin can also be seen in gluten free range. You can shop for nutritious food in a wide range of products including chocolate chips and other decorations for your sundae.

Thanksgiving dinner disasters unfortunately happen to the best of us.
The turkey falls on the floor by mistake; the gravy is lumpy; the mashed potatoes resemble glue; the dog eats the entire pumpkin pie. (Are you scratching your head wondering what in the world I'm talking about? Then ... uh ... just kidding! These things have never happened to me, either.)
Oops! Forgot to butter the pan!
Oops! Forgot to butter the pan!
The fact is: No Thanksgiving dinner can be absolutely perfect. There's always some kind of unforeseen culinary calamity no matter how well-intentional and organized your cooking plan. Usually, however, it's just one dish that is a fail while all the rest can be salvaged.
Except in the case of the worst Thanksgiving dinner of all time ...
It all begins with the bread course ...
Maybe we can just scrape off the burned part and be left with, well, nothing.
Instead of exploding with flavor in the mouth, these sweet potatoes had a premature situation in the oven.
Looks like someone is getting some mileage of our their Cool Whip Cookbook!
There's plenty of gelatinous ridges to go around.
Speaking of gelatin ... can we just ban it altogether from this holiday?
Tofurkey's done! (I think?)
If only we had taken the turkey out just a few minutes hours sooner.
What was your worst Thanksgiving Day food disaster?

LOL that is all I can say.
no disasters yet
The worst I went to - the turkey was so big it wasn't done cooking when everything else was - so they carved the top off, since it was done, and threw the bird back in.
My aunt poured with pumpkin pie filling into the ready made pie crusts without removing the paper liners and then baked the pies (paper liners included). So the pies were a loss but the laughs over that one have continued for years!
I'll never forget the year that the rolls were burnt, the gravy would not thicken (btw you use corn STARCH, not corn MEAL to do so), the ham was burnt...well it WAS a memorable year! LOL That was when I was a kid...I have not yet braved the honor of doing Thanksgiving dinner, which is good. I think I have a few more years yet before I am obligated to, so I have plenty of time to perfect my culinary skills!
OMG WTF is the pepto-pink stuff in the bowls????? It looks like barf! I would have to leave if I saw that on a Thanksgiving table.
My brother tried to deep fry a turkey for the first time last year. The fireman in his town are cute. Guess how I know?
You know, this post made me feel so much better.
I haven't had any disasters yet but I worked at a grocery store for years and always worked Thanksgiving. A lot of people would come in and have stories about what had happened already that day. The most interesting stories always happened when the person had a turkey they was buying because the first one had an accident.

Orlando, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Ronald Roberts registered a double-double with 21 points and 10 rebounds as the Saint Joseph's Hawks captured a 72-67 win over the Washington State Cougars in the fifth-place game of the Old Spice Classic at HP Field House.
Also scoring in double figures for the Hawks (4-2) were DeAndre Bembry and Langston Galloway with 13 points apiece in the team's second straight victory.
The Cougars (3-4) were led by DeVonte Lacy who posted a game-high 25 points as he shot 5-of-9 behind the 3-point line. The only other double-digit scorer for the squad was Que Johnson who tacked on 10 points off the bench.
The Hawks led by as many as eight points late in the first half, shooting a solid 48.3 percent from the floor as they settled on a 34-28 advantage at the break.
In the second half both programs shot just over 48 percent from the field, with WSU moving out to a 61-55 edge with just under six minutes remaining in regulation. But Saint Joseph's put together a 15-4 run to overtake the Cougars and secure the win.
The Hawks won the rebounding battle, 37-27, and turned the ball over just seven times on the afternoon.

New front page for Bugzilla 3.4
This is the first post about new features/UI improvements available in what will become Bugzilla 3.4. I realized that many readers don't waste their time following links in articles; if a screenshot is not included in the article itself, they ignore links pointing to them. So I decided to insert as many screenshots as possible so that you have them immediately in front of you. And also, you can no longer complain that you didn't know about such or such (bad) improvements when your Bugzilla installation is upgraded. ;)
Today, I will talk about what will be the most noticeable UI change: the front page.
Above can you see the new front page displayed to logged out users. There are two major changes: the 3 big buttons in the center of the page, and the login form in the header and footer of the page (the login form is now in the header and footer of all pages). The first button (the green one) will let you file a new bug. Of course, it will display the login form first as you cannot file anonymous bug reports. The second button (the orange one) will display the search page (the specific or advanced search based on your cookie; the specific one being the default). And the third button (the blue one) will let you create a new user account. Below buttons can you see a search field, well known as a "quick search" (which is more powerful than the specific search form, which is mostly useless, but less powerful than the advanced search form. My vote to kill the specific search form completely, but that's another story).
Some users already complained that there are now 6 ways to run searches from this single page: the "Search" link in the header, the "QuickSearch" form in the header (the one with the "Find" button) the big orange button in the middle, the "QuickSeach" form below big buttons, the "Search" link in the footer and the "QuickSearch" form in the footer (again, the one with the "Find" button). I agree this may look confusing to new users. Also, there are now 3 links to create a new user account: the "New Account" link in the header and in the footer as well as the big blue button. And finally, some complained that the "File a Bug" button is useless as you have to log in first anyway. Not ideal? Your feedback is welcome!
When you are logged in, the front page will look like this:
The only major difference compared to the logged out page is that the blue button now points to your user preferences. Also, the login form disappeared and is replaced by your login name, as in previous Bugzilla versions. We all agree that this page is suboptimal for logged in users, as much more useful data could be displayed instead of these big buttons (advanced users already use links in the header/footer of the page anyway). But we plan to improve it for Bugzilla 3.6.
Do you like it? Do you hate it? You have no opinion? Please let us know! :)
16 avril 2009 à 2:05
Just a minor question: wouldn't it be better if the search button would be the leftmost button, so users will see it first? This could avoid that users first go with "file a bug" instead of searching first that the bug isn't yet known.
Another minor thing I notice: what do you think about adding a plus sign "+" to the "file a bug" and "open a new account". This would signal that these two buttons result in something created anew… that is: getting added. Of course, after logging in the "user preferences" button wouldn't have the plus sign, as it has become modifying only.
Just my cheap two Euro cents.
16 avril 2009 à 3:28
Could do with a different right-hand icon for when logged in.
16 avril 2009 à 3:30
It doesn't feel right to me replacing the meaning of the right blue button between being logged in. If you would like to preserve the space but give it a different meaning, I would suggest a different color.
To reduce the number of steps for each of these buttons for logged-out users, instead of going directly to the pages for each respective action you could bring up a form below the action button for the immediate need. So for adding a bug, a form would show up below the button to log in (and say, you need to be logged in to submit a bug; click [here] for why); something similar could be done for search and new user.
16 avril 2009 à 4:14
I think this is a great improvement for new users, although I suspect it won't help experienced users much… I know I hardly ever go to the bugzilla.mozilla.org homepage.
What I would really love is a dashboard with the following items:
* a summary of my request queue
* a summary or a prioritized list of MYBUGS (or I suppose, other named queries which might be important to me)
16 avril 2009 à 4:23
The front page features 3 search fields (like before) and 4 login fields (2 more than before). This might be somewhat useful on long bugs, so you don't have to scroll to the other end, but not for the front page.
Please remove either the links bar from the header, or the footer.
16 avril 2009 à 4:40
If not logged in, the file-a-new-bug form should prompt for an email address and create a new account on the fly, or if the email address corresponds to an existing account, detect this and materialize a password box.
16 avril 2009 à 6:06
Looks good, espeically for new users because it looks friendlier and not as intimidating. I think it should be centered instead of hugging the left side.
16 avril 2009 à 11:21
@Harald I believe that users will actually notice the orange button in the center before they notice the green button on the left.
@Doug Sure, I suggested the same when the bug was originally fixed. The rightmost one could turn red, perhaps.
@bsmedberg For sure. that's another bug, though: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130835
@Kurt Yeah, it might look better centered, I agree.
16 avril 2009 à 11:46
My problem with the design is how redundant everything is. As the logged-out view, not only are there far too many search buttons, but "file a bug" takes the user to "open a new account". Why not try something ultra-simple for the logged out view, then add things in after the user logs in?
The entire header and footer are almost entirely useless for a new user, logged-out user.
I'm thinking along the lines of this (maybe a _little_ more info) if it were Mozilla's Bugzilla, for example: http://samuelsidler.com/imgupload/Bugzilla-home-simple.png
(But feel free to change graphics/words for whatever company this might be, I just used the graphics I had.)
16 avril 2009 à 11:56
Just to be more clear about what I'm proposing…
The addition of the three… buttons… was (I think) to simplify things for new users. Ultimately though, the simplification shouldn't be adding more buttons/images/links, but rather *removing* unnecessary things. In the case above, I removed everything that wouldn't be useful to a new user. We can debate what should happen once they login (and we should!), but before they login, why should they see 100 links and 100 actions when there's really only three actions they can make: login, create an account, search.
17 avril 2009 à 12:53
I'm very much with Samuel on this, I like the simplicity of the design he suggested for the logged-out user.
For the logged-in users I'd like to have the same easy to access quick search bar, and a vertical (for easier scanning) list of my saved searches next to it (as a temporary solution, before there's a regular dashboard there).
17 avril 2009 à 2:52
Some might say that I'm reluctant to change but I must admit I'm not a bug fan of these buttons too.
They are redundant to existing features but moreover they are absolutely not matching the rest of the UI.
I think the most appreciated feature in Bugzilla is the simplicity: the deisgn is quite simple, and always focused on productivity. I don't have this feeling with these 3 buttons. They look too "candy bar" for me.
Each Bugzilla installation can be customized and the buttons changed but it would be great to have a default style which keeps the design consistent.
Either we use icons, or we don't. And if the icons are used on the main page why not use them on header/footer?
17 avril 2009 à 4:27
Great to see some work being done here! It would look even cleaner if there weren't identical toolbars on the top and bottom. I can understand this might be nice to have on some other bugzilla pages, but not the front page, its a lot for a first-time visitor to have to look at.
The find/search options are overwhelming: search link (top toolbar), find button (top toolbar), large orange search button, Quick Search button, search link (bottom toolbar), find button (bottom toolbar). Wow! What's the difference between find and quick search?
I shy away from using special buttons that only appear on the front page. A user clicks the "File a Bug" button to file a bug. When they are later deep in the bowels of bugzilla and they want to file another bug they think of the green button and return to the front page because this is how the software trained them to use it. It would be more efficient to use the "New" link on the toolbar but the user hasn't associated it with the action of filing a bug. It would be great to somehow associate the toolbar actions with the big buttons if the big buttons are here to stay. Colours or matching icons in the toolbar could help with this.
10 mai 2009 à 11:42
New icons stink. Seriously.
I have done similar change in bugzilla.a.o several month ago: https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/ – and it looks IMHO much better.
Another issue is that front page becomes overloaded, and really don't need most of the footer/header buttons.

|They shine at halftime
|The big screen's most inspirational coaches
By Frank Paiva
If you're the parent of a young athlete, there are many ways to volunteer for your child's team. You can wash sweaty uniforms. You can cut hundreds of carrot sticks for healthy halftime snacks. You can transport players 30 miles out of town to battle that weird religious school that snuck its way into the league.
But some parents go a step further than just helping out the team or cheering from the stands. Some parents take it upon themselves to coach. Whether they want to relive their youthful glory, ensure their offspring a starting position, or just genuinely love the game is hard to say. An honest parent would probably tell you it's a mixture of all three.
George Dryer has another reason. A former soccer star whose son is learning the game, George has discovered a terrific fringe benefit to parental involvement: hot single moms. They populate the sidelines in "Playing for Keeps," a new romantic comedy starring Gerard Butler as the opportunistic lothario.

An Evenflo booster seat should solve your problem if you're looking for thin car seats. The Evenflo Big Kid AMP is 15.5 inches wide. That's one of the slimmest car seats available today.
The AMP is a backless booster seat so it's not for babies or toddlers. It's designed for use by children from a minimum weight of 40 pounds to approximately 100 pounds and a maximum height of 57 inches.
If your child is ready to graduate from an infant seat or a small convertible seat, the Evenflo seat might be the answer.
It's slim, light and highly popular.
A seat this slim could be the answer if you need to put 3 seats in the back seat of a small car.
It's also incredibly light at 5 pounds.
Loading it into and out of a car is no big deal when the seat is this light.
It's a great seat to travel with also. It will fit into an airplane seat comfortably while many larger car seats don't. It's also easy to install if you're riding in taxis or rental cars.
The Evenflo Big Kid AMP Booster Seat
The seat padding isn't bad for a low priced car seat which this Evenflo booster seat is. It's selling now on Amazon for less than $60.
The seat of course meets or surpasses U.S. safety standards. These thin car seats are easy to install also. The seat pad is removable which makes it that much easier to really get clean.
The Evenflo Big Kid AMP Booster Seat
It's always hard to really know if a seat is comfortable. The only way is to ask older children or notice if your child seems satisfied and not cranky.
The reviewers on Amazon seem to all agree that their children seemed very satisfied with this seat and tended not to be fussy even on long road trips.
The owner reviews on Amazon are extremely high. Out of 122 customer reviews, 100 parents rated it 5 stars out of 5 stars possible and 18 more gave it 4 stars. All of this for an average rating of 5 stars out of 5. It doesn't get much better than that.
If you've been looking at thin car seats, I'd check out this Evenflo booster seat. The Evenflo Big Kid AMP is inexpensive, slim, light and rated highly by owners.

ID,TEXT,COSTIn Ruby there are a few ways to go about parsing this file. You can install a gem like
2,Pack of Gum,0.50
fastercsv, but I prefer just to parse it directly. You can also just skip the first line and assume a standard layout of data, but this is a little error prone if anyone decides to add or remove columns. It's easy to build a header lookup from that first line, like so:
h = line.split(',')This splits up the string by commas into an array, then uses the array's "zip" method to pair each element with a number - from the range 0 to length-1, then flattening, giving us an array that looks like this:
headermap = Hash[*h.zip((0...h.length).to_a).flatten]
["ID",0,"TEXT",1,"COST",2]Then we pass in the array as an unbounded param list and use the Hash[] function to create a map like this:
{"COST"=>2,"ID"=>0,"TEXT"=>1}Pretty nifty for two line, eh? That way we can split up each row by comma, and access the array position by the header name, rather than a magic number:
data_ary = []
hm = nil
IO.foreach(filename) do |line|
unless hm
h = line.split(SEPERATOR)
hm = Hash[*h.zip((0...h.length).to_a).flatten]
d = line.split(SEPERATOR)
data_ary << {
:id => d[hm["ID"]].to_i,
:text => d[hm["TEXT"]].to_s.downcase,
:cost => d[hm["COST"]].to_f,
# An array of hashes
p data_ary #=> [{:id=>1, :text=>"Gumball", :cost=>0.05}, ... ]

Final Score: (3) Kansas 83, Texas A&M 66
Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Elijah Johnson scored a career-high 26 points and No. 3 Kansas cruised to an 83-66 win over Texas A&M in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament.
Thomas Robinson had a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds, Tyshawn Taylor scored 16 points and Jeff Withey added 11 points, six rebounds and four blocks for the top-seeded Jayhawks (27-5), who shot 61.4 percent from the floor and nailed 10-of-15 attempts from beyond the arc.
"I don't know if we played great, but we shot great," said Kansas coach Bill Self.
Kansas, seeking its third consecutive tourney crown, last lost to Baylor in the 2009 quarterfinals. It will play the fourth-seeded Bears in the semifinals on Friday.
Khris Middleton had 24 points to lead ninth-seeded Texas A&M (14-18), which played its final Big 12 game. The Aggies will head to the Southeastern Conference next season.
"First of all, you've got to give a lot of credit to Kansas. They demand so much help with Thomas Robinson and Jeff Withey that we left some guys open on the perimeter," said Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy.
"When they make 10 threes and Robinson hits two threes, they're a very difficult team to beat by anybody. I'm proud of our guys for competing, especially in the first half I thought we did some good things. But Kansas was very good today."
Middleton scored nine quick points and the Aggies led, 21-17, with 8:54 remaining in the opening half.
But the Jayhawks ripped off a 21-3 run and Texas A&M never recovered.
Johnson, who was 5-of-7 from three-point range, nailed back-to-back treys and scored eight straight points for Kansas during the surge to give the Jayhawks a 38-24 lead late in the first stanza.
Johnson finished the opening half with 15 points as Kansas took a 40-28 advantage into the locker room.
The Jayhawks scored on 10 of their first 11 possessions to start the second half, as they made it a 59-41 game with 13:54 to play.
Kansas led by as many as 22 points down the stretch, cruising to the easy win.
Game Notes
Kansas improved to 14-2 in quarterfinal games...The Jayhawks swept the season series against the Aggies...Texas A&M defeated Oklahoma, 62-53, in the first round on Wednesday...The 10 three-pointers for Kansas tied a season-high...The Jayhawks are 20-1 all-time against the Aggies.

The GT racing class was first created in the mid 1950s and was subsequently dominated by Ferrari for the first decade of its existence. With the carefully constructed and prepared 250 GTs Ferrrari supplied their customers with instant winners. Ferrari built the last GT-car in 1965, after which customers had to modify Ferrari road cars to race. The most successful of these were the Daytona Competizione and F40 GT, which both had some backdoor support from the works.
At the end of 1993 sportscar racing was turned upside down, with new regulations much favoring GT cars. A new GT1 class was created to replace the Group C cars. At least 25 examples of a car had to be produced for it to be homologated. Ferrari privateers relied on the F40 GTE, which was based on the road going F40, introduced in 1987. New cars like the McLaren F1 GTR and the Porsche 911 GT1 left the 'old F40' obsolete.
With the GT1 cars very much in contention for the overall victory at Le Mans, Ferrari started work on the first factory built and prepared GT-racer in thirty years. Ferrari called in the help of Michelotto, who were also involved in the construction of the F40 GT cars and the 333 SP prototype racer. The new car was based on the F50 supercar launched in 1995, which was built in enough numbers to secure homologation of the F50 GT.
Described as an F1 racer for the streets, the F50 already incorporated many racing car design features. Outwardly the F50 GT was easily recognizable through its altered nose and rear wing. Like the road going V12, the GT's engine displaced exactly 4.7 litres, but it was extensively modified to produce 750 bhp, an increase of well over 200 bhp. The engineers put the F50 on a strict diet, resulting in a 400 kg weight loss for the racer.
Ferrari test driver Nicola Larini extensively tested the first car built on Ferrari's private Fiorano test track in September of 1996. The Ferrari F50 GT's out of the box pace was quite impressive, with Larini clocking faster lap times than the 333 SP prototype racer. This has however remained as the F50 GTs sole career highlight, as Ferrari pulled the plug on the project soon after the first tests were completed.
It is not entirely clear why Ferrari backed out of the project, but it was most likely a combination of factors. Most of Ferrari's resources were spent on winning the Formula 1 World Championship, leaving little for the further development of the F50 GT. A slight change in the rules signaled the arrival of the purpose built racers from Porsche, Mercedes Benz and Toyota meant that a lot more resources would have been required to get the F50 GT competitive.
The sole completed car was sold to an American collector and two more were constructed for two prominent Ferrari clients. All three cars were sold under the condition that they were never to be raced in anger. Three further tubs were constructed, but according to Ferrari these were later destroyed.

Seam Carving in AS3, with source
Seam carving — the recently unveiled technique by Shai Avidan and Ariel Shamir to intelligently resize images (YouTube; white paper) — really captured my imagination when I came across it last night, as it has for many others.
Like Hector Yee (whose writeup was very useful), I decided to try my hand at an implementation of it just for the hell of it, but in Actionscript 3.
The attached demo only resizes images vertically, not horizontally. I wish I could have, but didn't bother including a dynamic image loader. It's also, well, very pokey, but the code is readable and the output seems accurate. If you can stand the wait, press [M] a few times to load up the seam calculation queue.
But the most valuable thing about this demo is its publicly available source code under a Creative Commons license:
So if you're so inclined, please improve, extend, optimize, and/or port this code. I'm not planning on doing any further work on it. Just let me know if you find the code useful, and share your work.
If you're interested in a more fully-realized online demo of seam carving, here's one that's been done in Java.
Update: Additionally, as it turns out, Patrick Swieskowski has already put up an online seam carving Flash demo here.

Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Barney may be a co-owner of a gym and look amazing for 46, but she hasn't always had her fitness act together. She recently admitted to Life & Style that she used to keep her weight in check in a seriously unhealthy way ...
"I used to starve myself. I was skinny, but I was really flabby. Eating right has changed my body the most," she explains. Ugh. That's so sad. But unfortunately, it really is so much more common than we probably even realize. Especially with the disgusting, disturbing "thinspiration/thinspo" culture that's thriving through social media like Instagram, women are hearing and encouraging one another to "eat less" -- like one totally sick Urban Outfitters t-shirt urged -- or not eat at all.
It's heartening to hear that Tamra's moved past her extreme, detrimental eating habits ... or has she?
She says that nowadays, she usually keeps her diet in check with one super-strict guideline: "No dairy; no sugar. Nothing white, basically."
I understand steering clear of dairy, simple carbs, and sugar for the most part, but doing it 24/7/365 and saying absolutely NO to all of that all of the time is a bit overboard. It's just not really a practical way to live your life. I mean, did she skip her own wedding cake? How 'bout cocktails with the girls or wine -- does she skip those on the regular? That's sugar! See what I mean? It's just taking a good, smart approach a bit too far.
Sounds like that's her forte, though, considering her workout regimen. She shares:
I'm at the gym every single day. So if I'm there, I might as well go take a class: Grit, cycling, dance, or something else. Sometimes I'll do three classes in one day.
Three classes a day? Whhhhuuuuhh?! Okay, I guess if you work out for a living, it makes sense, but still -- extreme!
While Tamra may be healthier than she was back in her starvation, flabby days, I feel like she may not be leading the most balanced lifestyle ... And that strikes me as a shame.
What do you think about Tamra's admission?

I think she's empowered in all areas of her life and it's working for her. it's her choice, and she looks AMAZING. I do cardio every morning and weight train every night. My diet is no where as regimented, but that's my choice. I love how I look and feel and that's how I gauge my fitness level-how I feel.

I'm diabetic and best thing is to stay away from white foods. I won't lie and say I don't miss them cause I do.

Learn to push yourself away from the table and remember to WALK every day even if it's just to the corner and back. WALK.
Oh just have another bottle of wine Tamera...That sure is some thing she doesn't do without.
