The 5 Most Insulting Ways Products Are Advertised to Men
#2. Turn Regular Foods and Flavors into Sausagefests
Food is food. There's nothing feminine or masculine about it, technically speaking. Yes, yogurt might have some properties that are particularly beneficial to women, but the yogurt itself is vaginaless. Look it up. It's true.
Yet somewhere along the line, somebody figured out that most yogurt customers are women, so they've decided that the eating of yogurt must be the bloodiest battlefield in the war of the sexes. Yogurt ads aimed at women portray them celebrating their sisterhood by gathering to have a group yogurt eat, with men hilariously confused by the mere concept of flavored yogurt. "This is our food, men. You wouldn't understand it."
There's nothing like the feel of a warm bath while smiling and almost eating things.
So now, if you want men to spend any of their money on a product that at this point is the equivalent of dairy tampons, you need to dress that shit up. Just ask the Mammoth Supply Co.
Via Mammothsupply.co
Unless our food contains the words "chunk" or "warning," we won't eat it.
Apparently, the only way men will have the balls to ingest fermented milk is if they play it up like it's bear guts ("Thick and chunky and built to tame a man's hunger").
Meanwhile, everything has to come in bacon flavor now, because bacon is man food, apparently having become the male version of yogurt ...
Via Gearculture.com
And if you don't cook it on an open grill, you might as well start breast-feeding things.
... and if you're thinking, "I know plenty of women who like bacon, this doesn't have to be a masculinity thing!" let us present you with this fast food ad portraying a man marrying some bacon.
"After the wedding, I'm gonna have sex with you until you turn into bacon bits."
It's just the way men are -- right, advertisers? They have incredibly simple and unrefined tastes, like little kids. They only like smoked meats, cheese and beer. So even if you're a cupcake maker, you have to put out a line of bacon-, beer- and cheese-flavored cupcakes:
Via Cupcakeproject.com
Oh, and it's served on a football field? Because all men like football, we guess?
Are you in the business of scented candles, like these guys? If you want to tap into the male market, you need manly flavors -- like "bacon," "fresh grass" and, no kidding, "dirt." No word on if "ass" or "burned tires" will be in the next collection.
But the whole bacon thing brings on another point ...
#1. Assume You're Hungry for a Heart Attack
One way you know this isn't the '50s anymore, besides the whole deal with the way society treats women and minorities, is the way we eat. We now know that eating a ton of red meat will get you a quick ticket to Coffintown, but apparently this trend has made all of the world's males fear for their balls. Food marketers are here to help.
In Burger King's "I am Man" commercial, for example, a guy is sitting in a fancy French restaurant with his girlfriend. When the food arrives, leafy green and in tiny portions, he makes a stand and takes off for Burger King, claiming that he's "way too hungry for chick food." That's right, they totally call it chick food. Dozens of starved men join the mob in an orgy of violence and song -- and in search of Burger King. Yes, it's just a joke -- but it's one that only works if "Is my food manly enough?" anxiety is a real thing.
Wait, are they confusing "man" with "douchebag"? That would explain so much.
And manly food means two things: fat and size. It's quantity over quality all the way, since men are apparently like huge farm animals that just eat the biggest pile of edible matter they can find. See this Hungry Man commercial, where men eating yogurt and Jamba Juice, or whatever it is they're consuming in the commercial, are accused of being straight up women. The accusation, by the way, comes in the form of the men taking a trip to the bathroom together, so you know we're dealing with some subtle marketers. You can tell they're subtle because a pound of fried chicken CRUSHES the girl food into smithereens. Get it? The part about a ton of chicken being better than girl foods?
Blended fruit is for pussies.
This of course becomes a problem when the man's doctor gives him the "You need to lose 100 pounds or else you will die" speech. How do you convince a guy to start dieting when giving up huge burgers literally means his genitals will retreat into his body? Well, if you're Nutrisystem, you put football players in the ads and assure him that the diet will let him eat "man food."
That commercial means something so different if you pretend that's his nickname.
Otherwise, any time you're dealing with healthy stuff, men have got to be bamboozled into eating it. Like when Fiber One slaps some chocolate on their wood chip bars and tells him it's candy.
And hey, have you ever wondered why products like Coke Zero exist, when Diet Coke is already a thing? It's because the word "diet" is too feminine, because dieting is something only chicks do. So they invented completely separate lines of low-calorie colas with manly sounding names (like "Pepsi Max") and gave them manly, black cans:
Via Blogs.ubc.ca
You see a guy drinking one of those, you walk away, because there's about to be some shit.
Now there's a diet cola that will let everyone in the vicinity know that you have one hell of a penis.
That's what that Dr Pepper 10 "It's Not for Women" ad campaign is referring to. It's an inside joke about the fact that dudes won't drink a sugar-free soda unless they spend millions giving it a new name and can just so people won't think you're a girl.
Hell, maybe they're right. They presumably wouldn't do any of this otherwise.

To the editor:
Maury Maverick was the ardent New Deal congressman and the author of the math formula democracy equals groceries plus liberty. Who put forth a series of proposals as spokesman for his colleagues in the House of Representatives in April 1937 that included the following: every "willing worker" had a right to a job; public works projects of all kinds must be expedited; a Department of Public Welfare should be established; low-cost housing must be provided; and increased taxes based on the ability to pay should be used to balance the budget?
The list seems like it is taken straight out of a press briefing by President Barack Obama following his recent re-election. The fifth item will be debated in months to come - increasing taxes based on the ability to pay, or, in other words, the rich should pay more,
Charles Austin Beard was of the most influential American historians of the first half of the 20th century. He was discredited to a great degree because of his isolationist views during World War II. Among the many works he published during his years at Columbia, the most controversial was "An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States (1913)," an interpretation of how the economic interests of the members of the Constitutional Convention affected their votes. Academics and politicians denounced the book, but it was well-respected by scholars until the 1950s. Understanding that history as we know it is written by the winners, just as the American Indians.
The idea that the elector is motivated, as the political icon of 19th century Boston politics Martin M. Lomasney put it, by food, clothing and shelter - what is food? The answer is found in Maverick's formula - groceries, of course - and that ward politics is driven by economic determinist philosophy and that the great masses vote for survival, not ideology. That's why West Virginians perceived that voting against Obama was the correct answer to the Maverick formula.
As a devotee of Beard, Lomasney and Maverick, I have lectured and I have campaigned and been elected on the Maverick formula for 30 years, understanding the correct answer of D equals X plus L is that X stands for groceries. Those who will be elected in 2016 must understand that the great masses only care about food, clothing and shelter.

All things Mother Earth Living
By Jessica Kellner
Bhakti Chai, chai tea, pecan pie, chai nog, egg nog, spiced nuts, chai nuts, holidays, Christmas, Thanksgiving, recipes, healthy, Jessica Kellner
The holidays are nearly upon us, and every year it's fun to try something new in addition to our favorite old standbys. This year I was very fortunate to receive some samples of Bhakti Chai concentrated chai mix to try. While you can simply mix the chai concentrate with dairy, soy or nut milk, you can also use the flavors of black tea, ginger and spices to whip up a few of the company's awesome holiday-perfect recipes. They sent some along, and I can't wait to try them.
Bhakti Chai Pecan Pie
Pecan pie is a holiday favorite. Try spicing it up with the warming taste of ginger and herbs using Bhakti Chai concentrate.
All Butter Pie Crust
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
6 1/2 ounces unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/3 to 1/2 cup ice water
To make dough:
1. Spoon flour into a one cup measure and level the top by sweeping a knife across. Measure two cups of flour this way into a medium bowl.
2. Add salt and butter. Cut the butter into the flour with two knives or with a pastry cutter (or with a paddle if using a mixer) until the butter is pea sized or slightly smaller.
3. Slowly add ice water and mix until the dough comes together in a ball and there are no dry patches. Flatten the ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 90 minutes. (This can be done several days in advance.)
To prepare pie crust:
1. Roll dough to approximately 1/8-inch thickness. Turn pie tin upside down on the dough and, using a paring knife, trace a circle 2 1/2 inches larger than the tin. Turn pie plate right side up and line it with the pie dough. Roll the edge down and crimp tightly. Refrigerate 15 minutes or until firm.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place pie shell on a baking sheet. Line shell with parchment paper or foil and fill with dried beans or rice.
3. Bake shell until edges appear dry and slightly golden. Remove beans and parchment/foil, prick bottom and sides with a fork and return to oven until the bottom of the shell appears slightly puffed and dry. Set aside. Turn oven down to 350 degrees.
3 cups Bhakti Chai Concentrate
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated cane sugar
1/4 plus 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs
3 egg yolks
1 1/2 cup lightly toasted pecans, coarsely chopped
1. Boil Bhakti Chai Concentrate in a saucepan over medium heat until reduced to 1 cup. Set aside to cool.
2. In a medium bowl whisk together brown sugar, cane sugar, salt, eggs and egg yolks.
3. Whisk in reduced Bhakti Chai.
4. Sprinkle chopped pecans in the bottom of the partially baked pie shell. Pour filling mixture over the pecans.
5. Place pie in the middle of the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until filling is firm when pressed in the center.
6. Let cool at least 20 minutes before slicing. Serve with lightly sweetened whipped cream if desired. —courtesy The Little Bird Bakeshop
Bhakti Spiked Nog
I don't care for traditional egg nog, but this spicy chai mix with rum warms up a cool night.
1/2 cup Bhakti Chai concentrate
1/2 cup Silk Nog, RiceNog or EggNog
1 shot of your favorite rum or whiskey
Mix all ingredients and warm on stove to serve hot, or pour over ice and serve cold. Makes 1 drink.
Bhakti Chai Spiced Nuts
I love the idea of making spiced nuts for the holidays. They have less sugar and more nutritional value than many holiday treats, and they package up beautifully as a gift for a favorite neighbor, teacher or coworker.
2 cups unroasted (raw) mixed nuts
1 cup hot Bhakti Chai concentrate
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried ginger
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1. Warm up Bhakti Chai on the stovetop or in the microwave. Soak nuts in hot Bhakti Chai for 1 hour.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Mix brown sugar, spices and salt together.
4. Strain nuts (save leftover Chair, reheat and enjoy with your favorite milk or dairy!) and mix with sugar/spice mixture.
5. Lay a piece of parchment paper or spray/coat a baking sheet with oil and lay nuts in a single layer. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until nuts are fragrant and browned. Keep an eye on them so the sugar mixture doesn't burn!
6. Let cool before removing and enjoy!

NEAR ISRAEL/ GAZA BORDER (CNN) -- After eight days of violence along Israel's border with Gaza and nearly 150 deaths -- the vast majority of them Palestinian -- a cease-fire was declared Wednesday.
The cease-fire, announced in a joint news conference in Cairo with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr, took effect at 9 p.m. (1:00 Kansas time.)
Gazans took to the streets, firing their guns into the air in celebration of what they considered to be a victory over Israel's military.
The agreement calls for Israel to halt all acts of aggression on Gaza, including incursions and the targeting of people, according to Egypt's state news agency EGYNews. It was the November 14th assassination by Israeli forces of Ahmed al-Ja'abari, the head of Hamas' military wing, that ignited the fighting.
It also calls for the Palestinian factions to cease all hostilities from Gaza against Israel, including the firing of rockets and attacks on the border. Border crossings were to be opened Thursday night, and the movement of people and goods across them was to be eased, it said. The agreement came after a day of negotiations that included Clinton, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy and Palestinian officials.
Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said the agreement calls for "complete and total cessation of all hostile activity initiated in the Gaza Strip."
"For us, that's victory. That's what we wanted," he said.
There were early signs that it was not being fully observed, said a spokeswoman for the Israel Defense Forces. Within a few hours of the cease-fire announcement, five rockets had been fired from Gaza, Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich told CNN.
Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon, in an interview with CNN, put the number of rockets at 12.
But Israel's ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, said that had been expected. "We assumed it would take a while for the cease-fire to take hold," he told CNN. "I understand now that it has taken hold. There hasn't been fire for a while and, of course, we are not firing, so there is a cease-fire."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of possible additional military action if the cease-fire fails to lead to long-term security.
"But at this time, the right thing for the state of Israel is to exhaust this opportunity to obtain a long-term cease fire," he said.
Netanyahu said he agreed to Barack Obama's suggestion that he accept the cease-fire, and he thanked the U.S. president for his "unreserved support" of Israel's actions.
Israel launched its offensive eight days ago with a stated goal of ending the frequent rocket attacks on southern Israel from inside Gaza.
"Their attempts backfired against them," said Khaled Meshaal, a Hamas political leader. "They wanted to destroy the infrastructure of the resistance of Hamas. They claim they have done so, and they have not. They are bankrupt."
He cited Israel's destruction of buildings and killings that included civilians. "This is their accomplishment," he said. "They have nothing else to show. And our rockets continued to strike them until the last minute."
Israel will hold Hamas responsible for any attacks from Gaza, whether conducted by that organization or any others, Regev said. He said the agreement reflects that understanding.
As he was preparing to return to New York from Tel Aviv, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said late Wednesday his biggest concern was for the safety of civilians, "no matter where they are. Innocent people, including children, have been killed or injured on both sides. Families on both sides were forced to cower in fear as the violence raged around them."
He said that since November 14, more than 139 Palestinians had been killed, more than 70 of them civilians, and more than 900 were injured. In addition, some 10,000 Palestinians had lost their homes, he said, adding there was a critical need for humanitarian aid in the territory.
IDF's Leibovich dismissed such concerns. "There is no crisis in Gaza," she told CNN, adding that she had seen pictures Wednesday morning of markets filled with fresh produce. "I understand that some things are not convenient."
During the eight days of conflict, rocket fire has killed four Israeli civilians and wounded 219 other people, most of them civilians, three of them seriously, Ban said. In addition, one Israeli soldier was killed and 16 were wounded, one critically, he said.
In all, 1,456 rockets were estimated to have been fired from Gaza into Israel, with three long-range missiles hitting the outskirts of Jerusalem, a move he called "unprecedented."
Israeli forces have reported strikes on more than 1,450 targets in Gaza, Ban said. They targeted, but were not limited to, attacks on rocket-launching sites, military bases, police stations and tunnels along the border with Egypt, he said.
Hundreds of other buildings were hit, Ban said, adding that he condemned "indiscriminate rocket fire from Gaza into Israel," but also believed that the "excessive and disproportionate use of force that endangers civilian lives is intolerable."

Interactive timeline of the conflictInteractive timeline of the conflict
Long-term solutions for Gaza and the Palestinians in general must be found, he said.
"Once calm is fully restored and the violence ends, a broader cease-fire will have to address all the underlying causes of conflict, including the full opening of crossings, Palestinian reconciliation and an end to weapons smuggling."
Regev said the deal calls for talks to begin Thursday on easing economic restrictions on Gaza.
"If the border is quiet, that enables us to be more forthcoming," he said.
Clinton, who shuttled among Israel, the West Bank and Egypt to help negotiate the deal, said the United States will continue to work with regional partners to implement and expand the agreement.
"For it to hold, the rocket attacks must end, a broader calm return," she said.
Obama spoke Wednesday morning with Morsy, thanking the Egyptian leader for his leadership in negotiating the cease-fire proposal.
As recently as Wednesday afternoon, Hamas officials had been calling for more strikes against Israel, while that country's military continued to press its campaign against what it said were suspected rocket-launching sites and "terrorist hideouts."
Eleven people died Wednesday in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run al-Aqsa television station, bringing the death toll in the Palestinian territory to 142 in eight days.
Five people died in Israel, and scores more were wounded -- including four soldiers hurt Wednesday in a mortar attack in the Eshkol region, the IDF said.
The cease-fire talks, held in the West Bank, Israel and Cairo, continued despite a lunchtime bus attack near the Defense Ministry headquarters in Tel Aviv. At least two bombs were planted on the bus, Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. One of the bombs exploded, blowing out the windows of the bus, he said.
Rosenfeld said 24 people were wounded, three of them seriously. Aviva Shemer with Ichilov Hospital said pedestrians were among the injured.
Police said they were seeking at least one and possibly two suspects.

Pad your fireplace hearth to protect your child from any falls. Make sure your fireplace screen is secure and can't be pulled over or knocked down. Install a heat resistant guard or glass door that will prevent your child from burning himself if he gets too close. Surrounding the fireplace with a gate is another way to keep your baby away from the hearth and fire.
Remember to also remove any tools that may have pointy or sharp edges, and keep all matches and flammable materials out of reach.

So it's that time of the long calendar and the end of the world is upon us. Games long-thought to be dead are now rising up and getting badges. You can now reap the benefit of this undead menace by playing some awesome games and earn a shot at some sweet prizes.
This skinny:
Each week day, from today until January 4th, we'll be adding badges to an older game that somehow missed its shot at getting badges the first time around. That's 11 older games with new badges over the next two weeks! In addition to the sweet sweet badges, each game will have a point challenge on it for 3 days starting the day it was badged. Each time you complete the challenge (which will be the same as the easiest badge on the game), you'll be entered in a raffle for some awesome prizes. So if you keep up with the event, you'll have 11 entries in the drawing (not to mention a ton of badges and points)!
Check out the official Apocalypse Nao! page for more information, along with a list of as a daily-updated list of all the games included in the event.

I'm looking for a good introductory resource on sequent calculus suitable for someone who has studied natural deduction before. Books and online resources are both OK, as long as each rule of inference and any notational convention is explained. Thanks.
Girard's Proofs and Types contains a good intro to this stuff. A translation to English by Paul Taylor and Yves Lafont is available free online. I also like Negri and van Plato's Structural Proof Theory and have heard good things about Troelstra and Schwichtenberg's Basic Proof Theory.
You can read the chapter on Sequent Calculus from Frank Pfenning's manuscript on Automated Theorem Proving. This chapter builds towards an explanation of sequent calculus by way of its relationship to natural deduction.
Gentzen, 1934, 'Investigations into Logical Deduction' — This is very readable, and introduces so many ideas that later synthetic works invariably miss some. If you're serious, this, and some other papers of Gentzen's, are indispensable.
Stan Wainer has written some excellent introductory texts. I don't think any are freely available for download, although PDFs are washing about here and there. Wainer, 1997, 'Basic Proof Theory with Applications to Computation', in Schwichtenberg, Logic of Computation, Springer Verlag, I strongly recommend.
But the best starting point is probably Proofs and Types, as recommended by Neel, reading at least up to the proof of cut elimination. A warning: Girard's style is a little slippery, and it is common for students to say they have read it, who turn out to have absorbed the opinions but little of the results.
Postscript — If you care about the fine technicalities of matching up normal proofs in natural deductions with cut-free proofs in sequent calculus, Ungar, 1992 Normalization, cut-elimination, and the theory of proofs is a good text, generously made freely available as part of the Stanford Medieval and Modern Thought Digitization Project. This literature is a bit tricky, because the two proof calculi are formulated, and their metatheory have come about in a somewhat different manner. The literature doesn't date back to Gentzen, except to the trivial extent that the two calculi are shown to have equivalent expressive strength, because the theory of normalisation for natural deduction was not fixed untilo Prawitz, 1965, Natural Deduction.
I would recommend reading Sara Negri's "Five lectures on Proof Analysis" that you can find here http://www.helsinki.fi/~negri/prana.pdf. In the first lecture she tries to obtain sequent calculus from natural deduction very naturally (of course, by making hypotheses explicit).
If you are looking for a source on basic sequent calculus, both propositional and first-order logic---by which I mean the basic definitions, explanations, and basic theorems (like cut-elimination), and all this developed from scratch and in a very readable way, with all notations explained---I would recommend the book of Cook and Nguyen, Logical Foundations of Proof Complexity (2010, Cambridge University Press, ASL Perspectives in Logic).
An online draft (which is almost identical to the book) is here.
What you'll need to read is only Chapter 2:
The Predicate Calculus and the System LK: Propositional calculus, Gentzen's propositional proof system PK, Soundness and completeness of PK, PK proofs from assumptions, Propositional compactness, Predicate calculus, Syntax of the predicate calculus, Semantics of predicate calculus, The first-order proof system LK, Free variable normal form, Completeness of LK without equality, Equality axioms, Equality axioms for LK, Revised soundness and completeness of LK, Major corollaries of completeness, The Herbrand Theorem.
I second here the recommendations of Troelstra and Schwichtenberg's Basic Proof Theory for learning sequent calculus because of its exercises; focus on chapter 3 and do the exercises to get a good grip on standard sequent calculi for classical and intuitionistic logic, as well as get some exposure to a few variations (e.g., single-sided calculi). von Plato and Negri's Structural Proof Theory is also very good, but it is more of a monograph than a textbook (there are no exercises). In von Plato and Negri you will find detailed and systematic discussion of the relationship between natural deduction and sequent calculi throughout the book, a discussion that is is largely missing from Troelstra and Schwichtenberg (though it must be said that T and S do prove that various sequent calculi are equivalent with natural deduction and with certain Hilbert/Frege-style proof systems).

Portugal. The Man perform in The Current studios.
In the seven years they've been together the Portland, Ore. (by way of Wasilla, Ala.) psych-rock quintet Portugal. The Man (note the artfully placed period) have released six studio albums and nearly as many EPs; endured the theft of nearly all their gear after Lollapalooza 2011; and survived the jump from self-releasing their albums to the major label Atlantic.
Through it all, the band have continued to crank out tranquil, lush indie rock inflected with hints of psychedelia, prog and folk. The band sat down with Mary Lucia to discuss growing up in Alaska, their songwriting process, Sesame Street and more.
Songs played: "So American," "All Your Light" and "Got It All."

I've been looking around and I got that the three words can mean "future". Is there a way to differentiate them? Can they be used the same way?

未来 and 将来 are pretty similar to each other. 大辞泉 breaks down the differences under the 用法 section of 「将来」 entry (explanation translated):
To summarize: they're very similar, but when used as an adverb, it's almost invariably 将来, not 未来, and 未来 by default has a farther-off, less tangible connotation.
As for 行く末, it's less common and seems to me to be a more personal sort of future. But I'd stick with 将来 and 未来 for almost all contexts.
I was always taught that
I've never heard of
Literally they should roughly mean:
将来 - That which is about to come
未来 - That which has not yet come
This corresponds to the other answers here that indicates that

I did substitute applesauce for canola oil so maybe that was the problem but I wasn't impressed with this recipe. It was okay, but lacked flavor. I wouldn't bother making them again.
Bev's Chocolate Chip Cookies
From EatingWell: Spring 2004, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004), July/August 2012
EatingWell reader Beverley Sharpe of California contributed this recipe. She updated a favorite treat by cutting back on sugar and incorporating whole grains. To increase protein, she replaces the rolled oats with 1 cup almond meal.

These were the best chocolate chip cookies i have ever tasted! I used olive oil instead of canola and i didn't ground up the oats. We baked for only 10 minutes and let them sit for 5. They were super moist and incredibly delicious!
My 9,6 and 2yr olds loved these cookies. They really couldn't care they were healthy or not, they literally inhaled them. I loved that they were not very sweet and it has the fiber boost with the oatmeal.
I found that processing the oats minimally gives the recipe a great texture and adding an extra 1/4 tsp of salt makes them even more flavorful. The first time I made them they were alright, but the second time around I cannot stop eating them.

the batter is sweet enough that you don't even need chocolate chips! that should cut the calorie too, and also from now on i would just make half of the recipe since it makes a TON of cookies!

CNN- A Philadelphia gym where boxing great Joe Frazier trained and historic post offices nationwide are among the United States' most endangered historic places, according to an annual list that a preservation group released Wednesday.
The 25th annual "America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places," released by the nonprofit National Trust for Historic Preservation, lists what the group says are examples of important buildings, districts or landscapes that are at risk of destruction or irreparable damage.
The list includes the converted three-story brick Philadelphia warehouse where Frazier, a two-time heavyweight champion who handed Muhammad Ali his first professional loss in 1971's "Fight of the Century," trained throughout his career, according to the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia.
Frazier kept the gym open after his 1976 retirement, but it closed in 2008, three years before his death at age 67, according to the alliance.
The building, now home to a furniture store and two vacant floors, is for sale. In putting the building on its list, the NTHP says it hopes to identify a preservation-minded buyer and raise $10,000 to cover the costs of nominating it to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places.
"Joe Frazier was a sports legend, and he deserves a place that celebrates his legacy and his contributions to the sport of boxing," Stephanie Meeks, NTHP president, said in a news release. "Without question, Joe Frazier's Gym is an important historic and cultural site, and bringing both protection and recognition to this site by placing it on the local and national registers would be a fitting tribute to one of our greatest athletes of all time."
Also on the list are what the group calls historic post office buildings that are closed or that may close in the near future. The group says that developers who would like to purchase and rehabilitate the buildings sometimes abandon their pursuit because they don't get timely or clear answers from the U.S. Postal Service regarding their disposition.
"There needs to be a clear and consistent process with these buildings no matter how they are disposed of, and that has not been provided," Chris Morris, a NTHP senior field officer, said by phone Wednesday.
In an e-mail to CNN, Postal Service spokeswoman Sue Brennan wrote that the service wants "to sell the property we have on the market," and that it is working with real-estate service provider CBRE to do this.
"And we follow all of the established laws and provisions regarding historical properties," Brennan wrote.
About 500 post offices have closed in the last two years, according to CNNMoney. The Postal Service, which reported a $5.1 billion loss last year citing a down economy, declining mail volume and a congressional mandate to prefund retirement health care benefits, recently backed off a plan to close thousands more post offices, deciding instead to cut hours at 13,000 rural sites, CNNMoney reported.
The NTHP's lists have highlighted 242 places over the last 25 years, with sites rarely appearing on the list more than one year.
The lists have "been a powerful tool for raising awareness and rallying resources to save endangered sites from every region of the country," the group said in the release.
"At times, that attention has garnered public support to quickly rescue a treasured landmark; while in other instances, it has been the impetus of a long battle to save an important piece of our history," the group said.

Is there a C++ library that enables reading of .tga and .blp image formats on Windows?
For BLPs, you may check this source code example.
For TGAs, honestly I would just convert them to eg. PNGs offline, and then use plain GDI+ to load the PNGs. Is there a specific reason for using TGA? Anyway, you can use this full, annotated source code.
For Targa (.tga) files, the FreeImage library may be useful.
I recommend using SOIL. I found it to be by far the easiest way of loading and saving texture to and from OpenGL. The last update was in 2008, though. It still works fine, but some people like to steer away from "old" software.

Cardinal George's Unenthusiastic Take on the Pope's Interview
Last week, I suggested that conservatives were adopting a fairly blase stance towards the Pope's interview, emphasizing the Pope's affirmation of existing doctrine. In today's Chicago Tribune, Cardinal George offers a clinic in how to water down the significance of the Pope's remarks:
"I think it's a good examination of conscience," George said outside Holy Name Cathedral, where he had just celebrated a Mass honoring couples married for 50 years. "I also think that he's coming from the viewpoint of a pastor who is close to the Lord and close to the people."
But George, a vocal opponent of gay marriage, warned that some had gone too far in seeing Pope Francis' interview as a move away from long-held church teachings on homosexuality, abortion and contraception. "Everybody is welcome," George said, "but not everything we do can be acceptable. Not everything I do, and not everything anybody else does."
Pope Francis said in the interview that the church "cannot be obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently." When asked Sunday whether Catholics had become obsessed with the moral issues the pope named, George said the church was addressing society's concerns.
"If the society is obsessed with those issues," George said, "then the church will respond. If the society doesn't bring them up, the church won't respond." Pope Francis, George said, differentiated between people and their actions. George said the pope's most important point was to "accept people and then work with them."
"His position was, 'Don't judge a person,'" the cardinal said. "It wasn't anything about saying, 'Don't judge an action as moral or immoral.' It was taken to say we shouldn't judge the activity." The pope's interview, George said, wasn't about changing policy but about rethinking the way Catholics frame their message.

Mr. Penaler,
I don't mean to put you down or single you out, but isn't it time for Commonweal and NCR to stop beating this dead horse of how chastened and crestfallen Catholic conservatives are licking their wounds over Pope Francis' interview? Some commenters are spiking the ball in glee because they think that "orthotoxic" Catholics have gotten their comeuppance. I don't think Pope Francis would approve of this obsessive gloating.
Many of our brother and sisters in Christ were killed yesterday simply becasue they believed in Him. Couldn't we spend a little ink talking about this and encouraging one another to pray for them?
These are hard words to take from Cardinal George.
Francis George is probably among those hierarchs who are most distrubed by the humility and mercy that have characterized so much of Francesco's papacy so far.
I don't believe that we are seeing "buyers remorse" from Geoge because I doubt if George was among those cardinals who made-up the majority who selected Bergoglio in the first place - he had that Jesuit/South American ordor about him. Just my speculation, but it is more likely he was in the Dolan camp - Thank you, Holy Spirit for no small favors!
Especially considering George's performance during the priest sex abuse scandal, George has demonstrated a decidedly defensive and self-referential posture - the very thing that Francesco has cautioned his brother hierarchs and priests against.
George first attacked survivors and their supporters as being anti-Catholic - No accepting responsibility for being complicit in the rape and sodomy of children by priest from George. No moral relativism there.
Then George whined publicly that the media was obsessed with sex scandals in the church very condescendingly pointing out that the he could never recall the media or public schools applying the same standards to themselves. This was about at the time that the church first had district attorneys and prosecutors breathing down their necks.
And all this public posturing was going on while George disregarded the consultation of his own review board and maintained Rev. Daniel McCormack in parish ministry despite credible reports that McCormack was actively abusing children - one of McCormack victims reached a $3.25 million settlement with the archdiocese: $3 million for a "canard"?
This case is especially galling because George was one of the most prominent bishops who advocated for a "zero tolerance" policy. George also chided critics for having no Christian "mercy" for perpetrator priests. Direct quote from George:
"We don't wait for the review board [referring to a group of lay people and clergy who investigate cases of sexual abuse]. We don't wait for anyone. When an allegation come in, the interim action is taken to ask the priest to step aside while we do an investigation."
Does this sound like hypocrisy to anyone? Maybe Papa Francesco will soon but George out of his misery by accepting his long over-due retirement? Perhaps there is a spare room next to Ratzinger at that Vatican convent?
I don't see what the problem is with Cardinal George's remarks. What is the problem?
Let's see now:
Cardinals O'Malley, Dolan and George have weighed in. When will the archbishop of the archdiocese where I reside, Archbishop Chaput, speak up?
Cardinal Francis George share our new pope's baptismal and papal names. Probably means nothing, but I just find it ineresting.
My guess is that Francis's first major archepiscopal appointment in the U.S., the first that will really bear his stamp, will be Chicago. Given the potential contrasts that have been established here, I'm more and more curious to see what that appointment will look like.
Wish we could edit our own posts:
meant interesting, not ineresting.
Keep in mind - back in the late 1990's when George was triumphant, he gave the infamous *liberal catholicism* is dead speech.
He is past retirement age - he needs to be retired. He has had his day and his day is past. He is a cultural warrior and Republican Party bishop.
@ Jim Pauwels: The problem is that George, O'Malley, Dolan, Tobin among others, all owe their rise up the hierarchy ladder to an episcopal ideology that with the advent of Papa Francesco may no longer be rewarded and selected for in the church's feudal oligarchy.
What is significant in George's public statements is actually what he doesn't say: Papa Francesco has already brought a welcome "freshness and fragrance of the Gospel" to the papacy.
George knows how to be effusive in his praise when he wants to ... how do you think he got that far up the ladder? Obviously, George doesn't care anymore becaue he is staring his on-coming retirement in the face.
Cardinal George has completely ignored the radically new assumption of Pope Francis which Fr. Martin and now otthers have pointed out: that "thinking with the Church" is thinking with both the laity and the clergy, including the hierarchy. Francis also emphasizes that the people of God (the combination of all the the elements of the Church) often have differing opinions, but, true, he doesn't even begin to talk about how to make up our minds when there are conflicting opinions.
What Cardinal George says about Pope Francis' interview is true but only as far as it goes. True, Pope Francis has not changed any of the Church's teachings, and he seems to think that they're all true. But he also clearly allows for the possibility that in the future he too might change. It seems clear to many of us that most of the laity in the West has changed their minds about contraception, and, truth be told, there have always been Catholics (both theologians and laity) who have held that abortion is legitimate in those cases when both the mother and child would die anyway. So the former teaching is being rejected in toto and the latter one in part.
So YES! Pope Francis has departed from an old teaching. Now he thinks that thinking with the Church must include thinking not only with the hierarchy but with the laity and lower clergy as well. But *how* to do that when there is serious disagreement among the people of God, when the elements conflict, is not even touched on. Not yet. I suspect that the topic might be on the agenda for the next synod of bishops, which is bound to be a blockbuster.
Ann and others - find the knee jerk - Francis has not changed any dogmas, etc.- to be a typical disclaimer. In fact, if you listen to Francis, he talks about discernment, encounter, start with where people are at.
Thus, not quite ready yet to repeat that *mantra* about changing teachings, etc. He is laying the groundwork (e.g. let's see what comes out of his G8 meeting about divorced and remarried and the reception of the eucharist?)
Jim P - would add one more thing that is negative, IMO, about George. That is the role he played at the USCCB and the *shelving of the 1998 ICEL translations*; his collusion with curial threats to certain USCCB members; his role in Vox Clara and the new translation. Talk about authoritarianism, about hang ups on rules, etc.
George is about power and control - it is in his psychological make up and that will not change. (you can cite the example of Father Plueger but even in that case, George could read the tea leaves and didn't want a power struggle in which he might come out on the losing side)
Cardinal George's comments, which presumably were given extemporaneously when approached by reporters on the steps of the cathedral (quite possibly, he was still vested for mass), read to me as though he's supporting what the pope said.
I do think that these allegedly hot topics like contraception et al don't interest Pope Francis nearly as much as some other aspects of the church's life which he seems to view as more urgent and important to preach at the moment. If folks want to latch onto that shift in emphasis and trumpet it as an important change, I'm not going to argue. Having said that, I do think the possibilities for change have some limits. I don't expect any changes, or really any "loosening", on what is taught in Humanae Vitae or Evangelium Vitae. But what can, should and must change if the church wants to continue to fulfill its mission, is how it approaches people who aren't connected (or are no longer connected) to the church, how it talks, how it listens, and so on. This is where Pope Francis is doing a wonderful job of pressing the reset button.
I get the opportunity to hear Cardinal George speak and preach from time to time - usually, several times each year, in a variety of settings. My impression is that he has a pretty broad and comprehensive view of the church's life and its role in society. I'd think he's quite sympathetic to Pope Francis' call to keep church teaching in the proper relationships and perspectives, and that some things (like accepting Christ) are more fundamental than opposing abortion or same sex marriage. Granted, the Chicago Tribune may not write a news story when the Cardinal speaks about topics that aren't perceived to be of general, secular interest.
It is true that Cardinal George is past retirement age. He submitted his request for retirement when he turned 75. I've never spoken with him about this, but I suspect he'd like to retire. He's a two-time cancer survivor, and things that most of us take for granted, like climbing steps (unavoidable for any bishop as they say masses at churches all over the diocese), are laborious and difficult for him. Like Steven Millies, I'm intensely curious as to who will succeed him. :-). One thought on that score: the Chicago archdiocese may not be primarily an English-as-first-language diocese these days. An archbishop who speaks Spanish as well as he speaks English would be a tremendous pastoral advantage.
@ Jim Pauwels: I'm concerned that your spinning the story out of Rome these days so much trying desperately to convince yourself that Papa Francesco does not in fact represent a new day is that you've become somewhat dizzy.
I actually agree that "the possibilities for change have some limits." How could Bergoglio rise to rank of cardinal-archbishop of Buenos Aires, then get elected pope, without the support of the most reactionary elements of hierarchy? How could Francesco now embrace ideas and policies that until now have been considered subversive from within the Vatican and hierarchy? How could Francesco now turn his back on his brother hierarchs so easily?
The radical change, reform, and renewal that is required if the church is to even survive till the end of this century will not come from the hierarchs. I don't think even the humble, generous, Jesuit pope is capable of that magic.
I think, if I sense correctly the spirit behind Francesco's words and actions so far, he is hoping that the impetus for reform and renewal will come from the People.
We must demand more democracy from the church. We must insist on the equality of all, especially the respect for women. We must insist on the primary role for calling men and women to ministry. We must separate the money from the ministry. We must define the inclusiveness of our faith communities.
[BTW: I certainly don't have as sanguine a view of George's pastoral abilities as you do. In my dealings with him, he was more interested in marginalizing and labelling his critics as anti-Catholic. I think that Papa Francesco is as committed as George is to the church. I just sense that like Angelo Roncalli, Papa Francesco having become pope is listening to new voices.]
Steven - that is big news out of Newark. It appears the new coadjutor, Hebda, was part of Dolan's delegation that conducted a visitaiton of the Irish national seminary in the wake of the Ireland scandals.
Jim P- don't you think that Barron has already appointed himself as hier apparent (in his mind)? He wants it so bad he can taste it.
Bill - I don't know what Fr. Barron's hopes and dreams are, but I think it's not usual for a candidate to make the leap from the presbyterate all the way to a major seat like Chicago - more typically, if he is to be a bishop, he will start in Sioux Falls or Kalamazoo or some such for a while, right? Also, does it ever happen that an archbishop is appointed to the seat where he spent his ministerial career as a priest? It seems like they tend to bring bishops in from outside the diocese.
I think Oscar Lipscomb of Mobile was raised from the local presbyterate to the archepiscopacy. But it's unusual to be sure. I think all we can say about +George's successor is that we can't know now. And, it's worth looking forward to.
@frank Gibbons,
We libs are not spiking the ball ... we throw the ball up to the fans and pay, I think,. a hundred bucks..
One of the tighty-righties has started to see the light: Salvatore Cordileone. This past week he visited my parish in SF .... a move that NO ONE ever expected to see because it is greatly inhabited by "those people" ... in the role of humble servant sans bling. No press; no photos; no publicity. That was part of the deal. He visited and served the homeless at our Wednesday Night Suppers and actually did some of the work.
Six months ago I can gar-on-tee that this would not have happened!
I for one do not believe that this represents a conversion experience for him, but it just might be a beginning of said conversion.
@ Jim McCrea: It is hard to believe that Cordileone would rub elbows with the folks at Most Holy Redeemer parish [I presume]. Not his style at all.
As Master Yoda said: "The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see the future is."
Yet, the impulse for a hierarch to emulate the top dog runs very deep. The hierarchs have been classically conditioned to kiss-up as they make their way up the ladder.
Maybe Condileone has made the political calculation that a change in tone is in his own best self-interest now with the Jesuit pope firmly ensconced in the Vatican?
Or, maybe Cordileone, with the election of Francesco, has experienced true metanoia, has been rethinking his life, and has decided to embrace the Gospel?
Nah! ... never happen! [If he has changed, I'd have to start believing in fairies: "I do believe in fairies ...
Hebda is a graduate of Harvard and of Columbia Law School. Maybe he didn't start out as closed-minded as some of his fellow bishops.
Another interesting appointment today: Auxiliary Bishop Sheldon Fabre of New Orleans has been appointed as Bishop of Thibodeaux-Houma, a small nearby diocese. He's an African-American native of Baton Rouge. All reports say he was beloved in Baton Rouge which is quite a feat for a black man. He's just 60 years old, a graduate of Louvain (which signals a rather open mind?), and is known far and wide as a humble man and a particularly fine preacher. He has served in my parish as pastor, and everyone here says his sermons are fine. If he's indicative of the sort of man whom Pope Francis is going to appoint, then Wow! This is a first-inning home run for Francis :-)
For those who have taken the (understandable) position, 'I like what I've heard from Pope Francis so far, but I'm going to wait and see what, if anything, he does about the sex abuse scandals' - this Newark coadjutor appointment seems to be a concrete thing. I hope it turns out to be a good thing for victims and the archdiocese.
Jim: yes, that's good.
If Archbishop Myers was given a coadjutor principally because of his negligence with respect to priests who sexually abused minors, why instead was he not asked by the pope to resign now? Unless there is some secret provision at work, he can, according to canon law, remain Archbishop of Newark until 26 July 2016.
Jim Jenkins: Cordileone did not "rub elbows" with the general run of MHR parishioners but, rather (and I'll give him props for this) came to and worked at our weekly feeding of the homeless.
Now whether or not he will come and worship with the parish is another question altogether. If he does I hope that he first comes and sits in the pews and observes and participates with the rest of us. Just showing up in all of his finery and dancing around "the issue" is not going to go over well. And if he doesn't dance around but come out with what he is infamous for, then his first appearance there will be his last.
But, as William Cowper wrote: The Lord moves in mysterious ways, Her wonders to perform.
I agree, that's why I am not completely thrilled. However if he no longer has power to take decisions, and Bp Hebda now has authority, then the main practical goal is achieved, Abp Myers will retain the title but not the power, and I won't complain. It may be the Francis way: deal with problematic people in the most discrete way possible.
Former British foreign secretary, Lord Owen, a trained neurologist, described the hubris syndrome (HS), an acquired personality disorder whose characteristic pattern of exuberant overconfidence, recklessness and contempt for others can result in disastrous decision-making, Lord Owen warned that those in positions of power in any area of society can be vulnerable to HS, not just politicians. Lord Owen defined HS as a "disorder of the possession of power, particularly power associated with overwhelming success, held for a period of years and with minimal constraints on the leader."
Is this not the best description of those hierarchs who have wielded unquestioned local power under the aegis of the last two popes, silencing theologians, bullying politicians, imposing right-wing conservative curricula on seminaries, attacking nuns who are doing the real work of the gospel, refusing participation of the laity in decision making, covering-up wrong-doing, refurbishing episcopal palaces and building shrines to their ego while closing schools and neighborhood churches, living as "princes".
Didn't the new Pope say he wanted pastoral people for bishops? Doesn't that mean they should have a lot of experience in parishes? Does Bishop Hebda have that kind of background?
If a coadjutor is given the authority to make decisions, that is usually specified in the appointment by naming him in addition "apostolic administrator." I believe that Archbishop Myers has had some health problems. He may have agreed to continue in office for a limited period, for example, six months to a year. But we don't know. Archbishop Myers has been a bishop for twenty-six years. Is there then a certain "ecclesiastical courtesy" operating here?
Irene Baldwin:
Archbishop Hebda, 54, was ordained a priest of Pittsburgh in 1989 by the then Bishop Wuerl. Over the next twenty years he served for five years in parish ministry. The remaining years were spent in diocesan administration and working in the Roman Curia (thirteen years). He was named Bishop of Gaylord in 2009.
He is known to be very pastoral, kind, and approachable, though he has had to deal with some health difficulties.
IT IS up to us CATHOLICS on the direction of the Church. IN the VATICAN the hierarchy decides policy and direction. BUT, here in AMERICA, the Bishops have decided to ignore whatever comes out of the VATICAN unless it fits their view.
THIS HOLY FATHER is going to upset a lot of ULTRA-CONSERVATIVE CARDINALS with his actions and worries about the POOR instead of worrying about abortion and other issues that pertain to the rich class. THESE BISHOPS AND CARDINALS should be ENTHROLLED with the koch brothers billionaires.THEIR love of money equals the love that the bishops have.
IN PITTSBURGH,PA. BISHOP ZUBICK is willing to close down an entire parish in one city because the people are upset with the closing of their church on one end of the city and keep another church open on the other end.GREAT MOVE. TALK about retaliation.
John Page: Thanks!

ANDERSON, S.C. – Winners of three of its last four, Anderson University women's tennis jumps back into its nonconference schedule on Thursday when it hits the road for a showdown with archrival Erskine. First serve from Due West is scheduled for 3 p.m.
The Trojans
After stringing together three straight South Atlantic Conference wins last week, the streak was broken last Saturday by first-place Wingate, as the Bulldogs remain perfect in the SAC and defeated AU 7-2 at the WU Tennis Complex. Despite the setback, the Trojans still hold an overall winning record at 7-6 on the year with a 6-3 mark in the league.
With two SAC matches remaining on the schedule, Anderson looks to move into a tie with Newberry, which completed its conference slate and finished the year with an 8-3 league record. Wingate (10-0) continues to sit atop the standings as Tusculum (8-1) and Queens (6-1) chase the league-leading Bulldogs.
Freshman Rebecca Bruning and junior Lindsay Gregory both posted perfect singles records for the week, as the duo teamed up in doubles and recorded a 3-1 mark with the lone setback coming against Wingate's pair of Tiffany Williams and Sierra Parson at the No. 2 position. Bruning, who is AU's No. 3 player, increased her winning streak to nine straight as she was named SAC Co-Player of the Week for her efforts in Anderson's last four matchups. For the year, Bruning is 11-1 with a perfect 8-0 mark against SAC opponents.
Gregory improved her record to 8-4 this season as she is 8-2 in her last 10 matches. In doubles, the Bruning and Gregory team is 7-4 together, while adding a 5-2 mark in the SAC.
The Flying Fleet
With back-to-back wins over Conference Carolinas opponents Pfeiffer (8-1) and Limestone (5-4) last week, Erskine remained unbeaten in the conference and improved to 7-0 with two league matches remaining. Overall, the Fleet is 12-5, but is 2-2 in their last four contests.
Five of Erskine's six players have perfect 6-0 singles records in league matches this season, as No. 1 Corin Hallman is 11-5 on the year and holds the team's longest current winning streak at three. Hallman is tied with teammate Sarah McDonald (No. 4) for the team-lead in wins, as No. 3 player Mika Goyette leads the Flying Fleet with 12 triumphs on the year, playing at the No. 3 slot.
In doubles, the tandem of Goyette and Hallman is 13-2 at the No. 1 position. The duo is a perfect 6-0 in Conference Carolinas and 9-1 in their last 10 matches. At No. 2, McDonald and Miranda Guthrie have tallied a 10-5 record this season, but have suffered two straight setbacks entering Thursday.
The Series
Since Anderson left Conference Carolinas before the 2011 season, Anderson has yet to defeat its archrival as a 5-4 loss a season ago increased Erskine's winning streak to three straight since the move.

Can you recommend a Java library for reading, parsing, validating and mapping rows in a comma separated value (CSV) file to Java value objects (JavaBeans)?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
We have used http://opencsv.sourceforge.net/ with good success
I also came across another question with good links: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/123/csv-file-to-xml
Super CSV is a great choice for reading/parsing, validating and mapping CSV files to POJOs!
We (the Super CSV team) have just released a new version (you can download it from SourceForge or Maven).
Reading a CSV file
The following example uses
Example CSV file
Here is an example CSV file that represents responses to a survey. It has a header and 3 rows of data, all with 8 columns.
Defining the mapping from CSV to POJO
Each row of CSV will be read into a SurveyResponse class, each of which has a List of Answers. In order for the mapping to work, your classes should be valid Javabeans (i.e have a default no-arg constructor and have getters/setters defined for each field).
In Super CSV you define the mapping with a simple String array - each element of the array corresponds to a column in the CSV file.
The following is the field mapping for this example - it uses a combination of these:
Conversion and Validation
Super CSV has a useful library of cell processors, which can be used to convert the Strings from the CSV file to other data types (e.g. Date, Integer), or to do constraint validation (e.g. mandatory/optional, regex matching, range checking).
Using cell processors is entirely optional - without them each column of CSV will be a String, so each field must be a String also.
The following is the cell processor configuration for the example. As with the field mapping, each element in the array represents a CSV column. It demonstrates how cell processors can transform the CSV data to the data type of your field, and how they can be chained together.
Reading with Super CSV is very flexible: you supply your own
The code below is pretty self-explanatory.
More Information
You can find a lot more information on the website!
I can recommend SuperCSV. Simple to use, and did everything I needed.
Hey, I have an open-source project for that: JFileHelpers. I think the main advantage is that it uses Java Annotations, take a look:
If you have this bean:
And wants to parse this file:
All you have to do is this:
Also, it supports master-detail, date and format conversion, and a lot more. Let me know what you think!
Best regards!
I find Flatpack to be really good with handling quirky CSV files (escapes, quotes, bad records, etc.)
The CSV File to XML question asked previously seems to answer all my questions.
OpenCSV (http://opencsv.sourceforge.net/) also does binding to JavaBeans using a Column Position Mapping Strategy
JSEFA (http://jsefa.sourceforge.net) also seems to do everything I need - particularly binding to Java objects - in addition to supporting FLR and XML
I've had good success both parsing and writing CSV files from Java with OpenCSV. If you want to read or write Excel compatible spreadsheet with Java, the POI library from Apache is the way to go.

As I have some free time that I wish to use, I am requesting recommendations for websites that would allow me to submit subtitles.
I've had a look around and I cannot really find any that fit my criteria. I
am hoping for desire a site that has an active community, preferably in which users can informally discuss movies, as well as request subtitles.
Unfortunately I will only be able to subtitle media that is in English, but there are some people who desire this, such as those whose hearing is impaired or those who speak English but aren't fluent English speakers.
I would also assume that this could be considered a leg of a relay, in which the next leg would be performed by a translator.
What is also important to note is that I do not require payment the services that I wish to provide; I merely feel compelled to contribute to such a community, as I have used and appreciated subtitles in the past.

UMMA inaugurates new design gallery
Even if you know UMMA's collection well, you may be surprised to learn that the Museum has assembled a choice group of domestic design objects thanks to two recent, generous gifts. Consisting primarily of works of iconic twentieth-century furniture design, these pieces will go on view this summer in the first installation of UMMA's new dedicated design gallery, the A. Alfred Taubman Gallery II, located on the second floor of the Maxine and Stuart Frankel and the Frankel Family Wing. The design gallery is an important component of the Museum's rededication to modern and contemporary visual culture and to making its own twentieth- and twenty-first-century holdings more visible. The UMMA objects will be joined by several works on extended loan from the collection of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The new design gallery has been co-curated by UMMA Director Joseph Rosa and Katherine Brion, UMMA's Mellon Curatorial Fellow and UM PhD candidate in history of art.
"This gallery is really meant to introduce visitors to advanced twentieth-century design sensibilities by showcasing a variety of works and their material aspects," explained Rosa. "We are very grateful to Herbert and Susan Johe and to Robert Metcalf for gifting these extraordinary and classic examples of domestic design and for instituting a wonderful new collecting focus for the Museum."
"As the UMMA Mellon Curatorial Fellow and a specialist in nineteenth-century painting, working on the design gallery project has both allowed me to gain critical curatorial experience and furthered my knowledge of design history and concerns," shared Brion.
The installation is divided into three sections-early twentieth-century objects forged in metal, which was previously associated with machines, not domestic interiors; mid-century furniture that integrated modernist form, function, and new materials (including plastic) with mass production; and contemporary work that begins to call into question the parameters of industrial production and the very function of furniture design. Among the objects included in the installation are a table and chairs by Marcel Breuer-the epitome of Bauhaus-inspired European modernism; classic Charles and Ray Eames chairs in fiberglass or molded plywood, examples of quality design accessible to a wide public; a dresser by visionary and futurist designer Norman Bel Geddes; a loveseat by total-design advocate and Michigan native Florence Knoll; and a handcrafted wood hanging wall case by Japanese-American designer George Nakashima. Both design aficionados and novices may recognize some of the historic work on view since updated versions of the pieces are still being produced today. Juxtaposing these classic pieces with contemporary objects-including works by Frank Gehry and Hella Jongerius-brings the gallery into the twenty-first century, demonstrating the ways in which designers have reinterpreted-and sometimes rejected-modernist ideals in the light of current technologies and attitudes, including those of our own digital age.

I use recipe kits to brew five gallon batches of homebrew and would like to purchase a kit and keep it around during the winter to have when we are snowbound. My question is how long will they be good and what about the yeast in the kits?
Yes, all the ingredients in the kit will keep well, although you should take them all out and store them specifically so that they last the longest. Kits generally use dry yeast which can keep for very long (6+ months) at room temperature and longer if you put them in the fridge. If the kit has hop pellets in it or whole hops, make sure they are in an airtight bag. Then just throw them in the freezer and they will store as well.
However, might I recommend brewing without the kit entirely? All you need is some malt extract, hops, and yeast, perhaps a little specialty malt as well if you want it. Liquid extract can be stored in the fridge. Dry extract and uncrushed specialty malts can be stored in a cool, dry place in airtight containers, but not in the fridge or freezer (you don't want any condensation on them). Dry or liquid yeast will stay viable for 6+ months in the fridge, and dry yeast can also be stored in the freezer. Hops should be in vacuum sealed, airtight bags, and can also go into the freezer. Assuming it is all stored correctly this will all keep for 6+ months, however I definitely recommend making a starter for the yeast a day or two before just to check that it is viable and to get good cell counts. Good luck!
You can store yeast for 6 months or more at fridge temps. But you need to invest time and resources into using a starter if you are going to store yeast for much more than a month post its manufacture date to ensure a good start. (This is not to say that a starter shouldn't be used every time regardless of manufacture date)

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - The retiring Speaker of the Kansas House of Representatives is the new leader of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber announced Wednesday that it's hired Mike O'Neal as its new President and CEO. O'Neal served 28 years in the Kansas House, the past four as Speaker. He's an attorney from Hutchinson.
Kent Beisner, who has served as CEO the past three years, will become Chief Operating Officer.
"The Chamber is excited that someone of O'Neal's business and leadership experience became available and was willing to take on the task of helping the Kansas Chamber build on the strong and successful pro-business agenda the Kansas Chamber has advanced," said Dave Murfin, Chairman of the Chamber's Board of Directors.
"The Kansas Chamber is proud of the success we have accomplished the past several years," Beisner said. "We have a terrific and dedicated staff that works diligently for the business community."
A news release from the Chamber also quoted Gov. Sam Brownback as saying, "O'Neal is a great Kansan who will do a fabulous job as the Kansas Chamber President."
O'Neal will assume his duties with the Chamber in October. He will be part of the Chamber lobbying team's efforts when the Legislature reconvenes in January.
"This opportunity to work with the Kansas Chamber is perfect for me," O'Neal said. "I have always admired the work of the Kansas Chamber and have tremendous respect for its Board and staff. The opportunity to join this strong and effective organization and continue working on pro-business initiatives with the Administration, with my former legislative colleagues and new legislative members is exciting and I look forward to the challenge."
The Chamber has come under fire in recent years from critics who say it is working to advance the agenda of conservative Republicans, rather than doing what's objectively best for business. O'Neal was among conservative leaders in the Legislature.

Wolfram Alpha's not the first place you'd think to look for medical information, but try it out next time you're digging in online. The computational search site offers detailed statistics on disease symptoms, treatments, drugs and their generics, and other data-geek details.
It's not a health dictionary or a physician-monitored forum—Wolfram's all about data, so you'll mostly get reports about how many people are treated with X for Y, the most common other illnesses people with Y also have, and hard lists of generic drug equivalents for prescriptions you may have. But in being so cold, calculating, and intensive, Wolfram can be just the thing you need if you need help talking to your doctor or exploring the treatments available to yourself or others.
