Joseph Cramer, M.D.: Where is Abraham Lincoln when we need him?
Twentieth Century Fox
Lincoln: the 16th president of the United States, the Great Emancipator, the first Republican president.
Abraham Lincoln's name is spoken with such reverence it is as though he resides on Olympus. The movie whose title is his last name name portrays how he ascended to those lofty heights. However, like the anthropomorphic gods of the Greeks, he was not above plotting and exercising power to obtain his objectives.
The production of "Lincoln" is worthy of the man's legacy. Steven Spielberg deserves an Academy Award and a medal. Daniel Day-Lewis seems more Lincoln than Lincoln. If Honest Abe were to return from the dead and amble onto the filming lot, there would be competition between Day-Lewis and the apparition over who would be cast for the lead.
Lincoln comes to mind in the wake of the recent election. It was not Civil War, but it was not very civil, either.
When Republicans candidates assembled early in one of their countless debates, they were all asked who their favorite Republican was. They all unhesitatingly answered, Ronald Reagan.
After seeing this movie and thinking about American history, I hope next time they change their votes to Lincoln. "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin is the source for the screenplay. From that story, Spielberg portrays the brutal battle, not on the bloody fields of war, but to procure the votes in the House of Representatives for the 13th Amendment to abolish slavery.
War is hell, as briefly but vividly illustrated by the movie. However, the ugliness of 19th century politics is at a minimum purgatory. The heated struggle was over these two sentences:
"Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
"Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
Unfortunately, human trafficking still exists in the shadows in the United States. More visible in the light, if we choose to look, are the problems caused by ignorance, fear, poverty, drugs and disease.
In the book "How Children Succeed," Paul Tough describes how children in chronic poverty are burdened with the intellectual consequences from exaggerated physiological stress. It is called the allostatic load, the amount of damage from managing stress. The heavier the load, the more harmful the lifelong effect.
The balance of nurturing hormones is concussed out of equilibrium with the more dominating chemicals of persisting threats. Memory and executive functions are wounded. Attention is compromised. For a body to survive repeated attacks, it exists for the moment. Delay of gratification is unheard of because trust in the future is one of stress' first casualties.
When there are inconsistent adult figures in a child's life, connections to other humans are void and persistent commitment is not taught. The social-emotional skills of success are wounded, some fatally by deprivation, overwhelmed or absent parents, poor nutrition and chemical exposures.
Our country evolved sadly without Lincoln. The melees depicted in the well of the House foretold the complicated challenges of the coming century. The freeing of the slaves did not cure the ills of slavery. There was still ignorance, prejudice and outright hatred of another race. The debates in the House of Representatives displayed all these raw passions.
Every American should see "Lincoln," and every politician should strive to be like Lincoln.

Appeals Court gives green light to EPA carbon pollution standards, rejects claims of polluters and climate-science deniers
Big news [Friday] from the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, which just gave the green light to implementing EPA's first carbon pollution standards in January. The court flatly rejected the efforts by America's biggest carbon polluters and the State of Texas to block all of EPA's efforts to begin curbing the dangerous pollution that causes global warming under the nation's clean air laws.
NRDC's David Doniger has the story in this re-post:
A rogues' gallery of science-denying coal and oil companies, industry lobbyists and trade associations, right-wing advocacy groups, Tea Party funders, and ultra-conservative elected officials sued EPA to stop every major action EPA has taken over the last two years to start reducing carbon pollution – the science-based "endangerment" finding, the historic standards for new cars, and the first limits on carbon pollution from the biggest new power plants and factories.
Over the last year, these cases have served as fashion accessories to dress up the lobbying campaign aimed at getting Congress to overturn the Clean Air Act and block EPA from doing its job under the Supreme Court's 2007 global warming decision in Massachusetts v. EPA.
But now that strategy has backfired.
You see, the polluters and science-deniers can say anything they want in press releases and lobbying letters to Congress. Especially these days, when lobbying and politics take place in a fact-free zone.
But when you go to court, you have to prove your case. And they've failed.
They filed hundreds of pages of briefs and affidavits with wild claims that construction will be stopped all across the country and that the economic recovery will be strangled.
The court didn't buy any of it. In the order today denying the stays, the court said this:
Petitioners have not satisfied the stringent standards required for a stay pending court review. "¦ Specifically, with regard to each of the challenged rules, petitioners have not shown that the harms they allege are certain, rather than speculative, or that the alleged harms will directly result from the actions which the movants seek to enjoin.
Note that the court said with regard to "each of the challenged rules." That means the court found no merit in their attack on the science behind EPA's endangerment finding, no merit in their attack on the landmark clean car standards, and no merit in their attack on the requirement for available and affordable pollution control technology on big new factories.
This is no surprise, since the clean car standards (which are supported by the auto industry) are going to save the average new car buyer $3000. And all that's required of the biggest new factories is to do what's available and affordable to reduce emissions – something they've been doing for other pollutants for decades. Every state but Texas is ready to issue pollution permits for big new sources. And the industries utterly failed to prove that the economic sky is falling.
This is a victory for every American who wants cleaner cars and less pollution from our factories.
– David Doniger is the policy director of the Natural Resources Defense Council's Climate Center and their chief global warming lawyer. This is re-post from NRDC's Switchboard blog.

Yes, a few filthy industries will be harmed, but about as many clean industries will be helped. If ignoring the latter and just presenting the former is the best argument the deniers can come up with, they are pretty pathetic.
It's really good to confirm that courts don't base their opinions on blogs and opinion polls. Just like the Dover, Pa case against teacher "intelligent design" as science.
Not all news are bad news these days.
Coming on top of the Californian vote against Proposition 23, this is good news: there is hope for you, yet, America.
Good news, indeed. However,per this NYT article, it seems the EPA's new carbon pollution regulations will not go into effect in January . Will any carbon restrictions go into effect in January?
E.P.A. Delays Tougher Rules on Emissions By JOHN M. BRODER and SHERYL GAY STOLBERG December 9, 2010
"The Obama administration is retreating on long-delayed environmental regulations — new rules governing smog and toxic emissions from industrial boilers — as it adjusts to a changed political dynamic in Washington with a more muscular Republican opposition.
"The move to delay the rules, announced this week by the Environmental Protection Agency, will leave in place policies set by President George W. Bush. President Obama ran for office promising tougher standards, and the new rules were set to take effect over the next several weeks."
The appellate decision isn't much of a surprise really, but of course we've been conditioned to expect the worst. The petitioners might as well have submitted the the Wizard of Oz script as the pathetic argument they presented. Hmmm, I wonder where the "The Socialists are Coming" crowd is when a state–cough, Texas, cough–wastes taxpayer money essentially to do private industry's bidding in a case like this. Thanks Perry and Abbott for wasting taxpayer dollars, you dishonest piles of goat droppings.
EPA rocks.
EPA chief Lisa Jackson braces for battle with Congress over climate change regulations http://blog.nj.com/njv_editorial_page/2010/12/epa_chief_lisa_jackson_braces.html
I always thought that the Gov/EPA/Someone should have taken the deniosaurs to the courts 5-10yrs ago. The science was always right.
@Ellie — EPA delayed its smog and air toxics standards/rules. Those are separate from any GHG regulations. Starting in January, GHGs will be part of permits for some large stationary sources (power plants, refineries, etc.), with the requirements expanding out to more in June or July.
Thanks "Not A Lawyer"

This is a division of application Ser. No. 553,174, filed Nov. 18, 1983, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,623,732.
This invention is directed to a process for the synthesis of N-alkylphthalimides and copolymers derived therefrom.
In the prior art bis(N-alkylphthalimides) have been prepared by coupling nitro-N-alkylphthalimides. This method results in the preparation of intermediates that are gummy solids that are difficult to handle and present purification problems. See U.S. Pat. No. 3,957,862; U.S. Pat. No. 4,017,511; U.S. Pat. No. 3,956,320 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,972,902.
The prior art has recognized that aryl and heteroaryl polyhalides may be coupled by using an anhydrous nickel catalyst. The polyhalides have been converted into polymers due to the presence of at least two halogen atoms in the starting material. Such a process is described in European patent application 79104205.4. Nothing in that application suggests the coupling of monohalide compounds to form a bisimide.
Polyetherimide polymers are known which all are synthesized from biphenol-di (N-methylphthalimide). See for example U.S. Pat. No. 3,983,093. This compound when converted to the dianhydride may be employed to make polyetherimide polymers. The applicant has discovered a novel process for making certain bis(N-alkylphthalimides) that is easily carried out in conventional equipment. The dianhydride derivatives of these compounds may be utilized in making homopolymers and copolymers using diamine coupling agents.
Thus it is a primary object of this invention to provide a novel method for the preparation of certain bis (N-alkylphthalimides) and dianhydrides derived therefrom.
It is also an object of this invention to provide a novel copolymer that is based on the coupling of a dianhydride of certain bis(N-alkylphthalimide) compounds with a dianhydride derivative of certain bisphenols.
The process of the invention is directed to the preparation of compounds of formula I: ##STR1## wherein R is lower alkyl of from one to six carbons such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-hexyl and the like. These compounds are prepared by heating a compound of fromula II: ##STR2## wherein R is the same as set forth hereinabove and X is Br, Cl or I in the presence of a solvent and a catalyst that comprises a nickel compound and a reducing compound.
Suitable solvents for the practice of the invention include saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons such as hexane, pentane, benzene, eylene, etc; ethers such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran etc; dimethylacetamide; dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide; and the like.
The useful nickel compounds include complexes of nickel and organometallic nickel compounds. These compounds include nickel halides such as nickel chloride, nickel iodide and nickel bromide; nickel sulfate, nickel carbonate, nickel phosphates and the like. Nickel salts of aliphatic organic acids having from 1-20 carbon atoms such as nickel formate, nickel acetate, nickel stearate; nickel complexes such as nickel acetoacetonate and the like.
The amount of nickel that is used is from about 0.005 to about 1.0 and preferably from about 0.01 to about 0.5 moles of nickel per moles of nickel per mole of compound of formula II. An inorganic salt such as an alkali metal bromide may be added to the reaction mixture in an amount of 0.01-500 moles per gram atom of catalyst.
The useful triarylphosphines include triphenylphosphines. The ratio of triarylphosphine to nickel may be from about 0.01 to about 25, and preferably from 1 to 10 moles of triaryl phosphine per mole of nickel.
The reducing metal may be manganese, magnesium or zinc. These reducing metals may be used in a finely divided form at a ratio of 0.5 moles to 1.5 moles per mole of the compound of formula II. Zinc is the preferred reducing metal.
The compounds of formula I may be used to make homopolymers or copolymers if they are first converted to a tetraacid of formula III. ##STR3## which may be dehydrated to the anhdride of formula IV: ##STR4##
The hompolymers or copolymers are prepared by reaction with a diamine of formula V.
wherein R1 is a divalent organic radical selected from the class consisting of (a) aromatic hydrocarbon radicals having from 6-20 carbon atoms and halogenated derivatives thereof, (b) alkylene radicals and cycloalkylene radicals having from 2-20 carbon atoms. C.sub.(2-8) alkylene terminated polydiorganosiloxane and (c) divalent radicals included by the formula ##STR5## where Q is a member selected from the class consisting of --O--, ##STR6## --S--, and --C2 H2, and x is a whole number from 1 to 5 inclusive. In addition, copolymers may be prepared by utilizing from 10-90 mole % of an anhdride of formula IV with 90-10 mole % of a dianhydride of formula VI and a diamine of formula V: ##STR7## wherein E is selected from phenylene, biphenylene, naphthylene, alkylene or alkylidene. Useful alkylene groups include methylene, ethylene and the like; alkylidene groups include ethylidene and isopropylidene. The preferred group for E is isopropylidene.
The copolymers may be prepared by combining the diamine of formula V with the dianhydrides of formula IV and formula VI in a suitable reactor in the presence of a suitable solvent. The reaction is carried out by heating the reactants in an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen using a suitable means of agitation such as a mechanical stirrer. The water formed by the polymer formation is removed by azeotropic distillation and the polymer may be recovered by precipitation with an antisolvent such as methanol.
The copolymers have repeating units of the formula: ##STR8## wherein R1 is as defined above; and a represents from 10 to 100 units; and ##STR9## wherein E is selected from the group consisting of phenylene, biphenylene, naphthylene, alkylene or alkylidene and b is from 10 to 100 and R1 is as defined above.
These polymers are thermplastic and may be molded to form useful articles having a high heat distortion temperature. They may be combined with reinforcing fillers and other fillers such as from 1-50% by weight of fibrous glass, wollastonite, clay, talc, mica, carbon fibers, aramid fibers, calcium carbonate and the like. If desired, flame retardant amounts of flame retardant agents such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,020,124, which is incorporated by reference, may be added.
The following examples illustrate the process of the invention. They are merely illustrative and are not to be construed to limit the invention in any manner whatsoever.
In a 500 ml three-necked flash equipped with a mechanical stirrer, Dean-Stark trap/condenser, nitrogen inlet, and thermometer was added 25.71 grams (0.20 moles) of p-chlorophenol, 100 ml dimethylsulfoxide, and 150 ml of chlorobenzene. After stirring and nitrogen purging the mixture for 30 min., 15.80 grams of aqueous sodium hydroxide (50.62 wt. %; 0.20 moles) was added. The mixture was heated up to 150� C. with the azeotropic removal of the water of reaction. After the removal of water was complete the temperature was lowered to 60� C. and 41.23 grams (0.20 moles) of 4-nitro-N-methyl phthalimide was added. The mixture was stirred overnight. Upon cooling to room temperature the product precipitated from solution. Filtration, washing the precipitate with water, and recrystallization from isopropanol yielded 50.8 grams of 4-(p-chlorophenyl)-N-methyl phthalimide. The melting point was 131�-132� C.
To a dry 250 ml. flask equipped with a magnetic stirring bar and nitrogen inlet were added 0.65 grams (C. 00502 moles) nickel chloride, 5.00 grams (0.01906 moles) triphenyl phosphine, 5.00 grams (0.0486 moles) sodium bromide, 7.51 grams (0.115 moles) zinc dust, and 2.88 grams (0.010 moles) 4-(p-chlorophenol)-N-methyl phthalimide. After purging with nitrogen for 60 minutes, 75 ml. of dry dimethylacetamide was added and the mixture was heated to 70� C. with stirring. After three hours the mixture was cooled, poured into water and filtered. This crude material was purified and separated from the inorganics by dissolving in hot chlorobenzene and filtering. Upon cooling, the product precipitated from solution. Filtration and drying (80� C. overnight) yielded 2.1 grams of bisimide. Mp 201�-203� C.
To a dry 250 ml flask equipped with a magnetic stirring bar and nitrogen inlet were added 0.65 grams (0.00502 moles) nickel chloride, 3.75 grams (0.01906 moles) triphenyl phosphine, 5.00 grams (0.486 moles sodium bromide, 0.75 grams (0.0048 moles) dipyridyl, 7.51 grams (0.115 moles) zinc dust, and 25.0 grams (0.0869 moles) 4-(p-chlorophenol)-N-methyl phthalimide. This mixture was purged with nitrogen for 60 minutes and 75 ml of dry dimethylacetamide was added. The mixture was heated slowly to 70� C. After 5 hours the mixture was cooled, poured into water and filtered. The crude material was purified and separated from inorganics via dissolving in chlorobenzene and filtration. Upon cooling the product precipitated from solution. Filtration and drying overnight at 80� C. gave 32.7 grams of bisimide; Mp. 204�-205� C.
The bisimides prepared in Examples I and II were converted to the corresponding dianhydride according to the following procedure.
In a 50 ml flast equipped with a reflux condenser and magnetic stirrer is added 3.2 grams of bisphenol bisimide, 3.0 grams of 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide, and 10 ml water. The mixture was heated at reflux for 18 hours, cooled to room temperature and acidified with an excess of 1N hydrochloric acid. The precipitated tetra acid was isolated by filtration, washed, and dried.
In a 50 ml flask equipped with a condenser thermometer and magnetic stirrer was charged 3.2 grams of tetra acid, 4.0 ml acetic anhydride, and 8.0 ml o-dichlorobenzene. The mixture was heated to 135� C. After 18 hours the solution was cooled. The dianhydride precipitates as a finely divided solid and is collected by filtration and washed with chilled hexane. The product was dried in vacuo at 60� C. overnight.
In a 100 ml flask equipped with Dean Stark trap/condenser, mechanical stirrer, nitrogen inlet and thermometer was added 2.90 g (0.00606 moles ) of the aforesaid dianhydride, 3.15 g (0.00605 moles) of BPA dianhydride (i.e. 2,2 bis (2,3-dicarboxyphenoxy phenyl) propone dianhydride), 1.31 g (0.121 moles) m-phenylene diamine, 0.03 g (0.00203 moles) phthalic anhydride, 35 ml m-cresol, 25 ml toluene. The mixture was heated under nitrogen at 100� C. for 30 minutes, followed by raising the temperature to 150� C. in which the water formed in the reaction was removed by azeotropic distillation. After about 4 hours the temperature was increased to 180� C. and held there for one hour, then cooled to room temperature. The viscous mixture was diluted with 100 ml of chloroform and the polymer isolated by precipitation in methanol. The precipitate was dried at 125� C. to give 6.6 grams of polyetherimide copolymer.
The polymer exhibited an intrinsic viscosity of 0.56 dl/gram when measured in phenol/tetrachloroethane (60/40; w/w), at 30� C. and a glass transition temperature of 230� C.
Obviously other modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in the light of the above teachings. It is, therefore, to be understood that changes may be made in the particular embodiments of the invention described which are within the full intended scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

The Timouley is a very friendly clean hotel. Rooms are spacious and cleaned every day. The staff are very friendly and helpful. On arrival we were allocated a room that we hadn't asked for (view overlooking a building site, there is a lot of building work going on around the hotel) but it was quickly resolved and we were moved to another room with a better view with no problem. Although the hotel was fully booked it never felt busy and there was always plenty of space around the very nice pool area.There is a very nice beach which is about a 10 - 15 minute walk away - unfortunately uphill coming back! The food was not of a 4 star quality. Breakfast was plentiful and there was a grill where you could get omelettes waffles and pancakes made fresh but all very average The evening buffet left a lo to be desired in culinary skills, the hot food was very bland and again you could get meat and fish from the grill but still all very uninteresting and bland and more of the same every day. We were very disappointed with the location of the hotel as according to the Thomson brochure there were bars and restaurants a short stroll away - not so, there is nothing around the hotel at all and you have to walk for a good 50 - 60 minutes to reach the Centre where all the shops bars and restaurants are. Orange taxis (petit taxis) are always available and you never have to wave them down because they stalk you non stop which is very annoying be careful to agree a price before you get in as they will always try to rip you off, you shouldn't pay more than about 20 - 30 dirham (about £2-£3) altho the price increases by 50% in the evening but there are plenty of them all wanting your money! We were hassled non stop on this holiday by shopkeepers, taxis,etc be especially careful of what or whom you take a photograph of as they will ask for money and will follow you and hassle you until you give them 10 or 20 dirhams Everything is money money money! As far as i am concerned Morroco is the country of 'rip off', Agadir being the capitol of it!!

Every trip to the beauty shop is, for me, an adventure in some way. And without fail, it's immensely entertaining.
There has been a rash of robberies recently of people who are trying to sell their homes. The scam goes like this: Two separate people show up at the same time at an open house. One of the two will keep the owner, or agent, busy while the other person steals jewelry or financial information. If you're trying to sell your home, make sure that all of your valuables are locked up and out of sight.
Ted Dekker is best known for his best-selling Christian fiction series, The Circle Trilogy, following the adventures of a man from our world who dreams of adventures in an alternate world of magical forests, terrifying demons, and ancient mysteries - or does he truly exist in this "Other World," and only dreams of our world?

You might first think someone's having a little fun at your expense, but if you're being invaded by lady bugs, it is no Halloween prank. Now is the time of year when multicolored Asian lady beetles start moving into Georgia homes.
Don't look now but Halloween's over your shoulder and the next big family holiday bash is Thanksgiving. And, of course, the burning question of the day is not whether President Barack Obama should have been given the Nobel Peace Prize or if the Army Corps of Engineers will try to turn Lake Lanier back into Death Valley East.
It wasn't intended to be a long conversation, but I should have known better than that. No call to Poet is ever abbreviated.

I hope everybody had a great Halloween. OK, here's one more Halloween tip. (I can't help myself). If you have any candy corn left over, use it in place of chocolate chips when making cookies. It tastes good and keeps the memory of Halloween alive. (By the way, send me an e-mail and let me know if last week's tips were helpful or not).
Halloween is here and Turkey Day is just around the corner. My, how time flies.
Vegetarian diets can meet all the recommendations for nutrients, but the key is to consume a variety of foods and the right amount of foods to meet your calorie needs.
Sometimes two old souls can find each other and form a friendship that is anchored in rock solid respect and like thinking.
I love Halloween. I guess it goes back to when I was a kid growing up in a suburb where there were a lot of small homes near each other.
I love Halloween. Nothing gets me in the mood for ghosts, ghouls and goblins better than a good scary story, so I wanted to share some of my favorite classic picks.

An efficiency initiative is more likely to take hold if senior agency officials support it and if employees get involved in developing the initiative's goals, according to new report.
Agencies are working to run more resourcefully with fewer hurdles and less red tape as they consolidate their operations and reexamine programs and organizational structure. In studying agencies' efforts, the Government Accountability Office found several techniques that agencies used to make the organizational cleanup efforts work.
From that, we've distilled some tips other agencies can use:

Report: Kevin Durant on board with potential Billy Donovan hiring
The Oklahoma City Thunder appear close to hiring Florida coach Billy Donovan, which seems just fine with their biggest superstar.
The Oklahoma City Thunder appear close to hiring Florida coach Billy Donovan, which seems just fine with their biggest superstar.
Kevin Durant posted a note on Instagram Wednesday in which he expressed his feelings about the Oklahoma City Thunder's firing of coach Scott Brooks.
Kevin Durant had an edge Thursday when he spoke with the media for an exit interview following the Oklahoma City Thunder's season ending.
Kevin Durant has some free time on his hands as he recovers from season-ending foot surgery, so he decided to host a Q&A on Twitter Wednesday.
During the fourth quarter of the Thunder's game against the Pacers on Sunday, Russell Westbrook was whistled for what could prove to be an extremely costly technical foul.
Kevin Durant is sick and tired of hearing about the James Harden trade, and he's not afraid to let people know that.
Kevin Durant gave Oklahoma City Thunder fans a reason to breathe a sigh of relief after saying that he would love to spend his entire career with one team.
If the Thunder are going to hold on the No. 8 seed in the NBA's Western Conference, they will have to do so without the services of Kevin Durant.

Thanks for your kind words. I did spend some time between a Charbroiler and the steam table many years ago when I was in school, not a job I would want to repeat. Cooking for friends, in my kitchen, at my leisure, is more my style.

The new home of
Positioned on the north side of the Firth of Clyde is the elegant Victorian seaside town of Helensburgh; just four miles from Loch Lomond and ideally placed for exploring by car, rail, boat or on foot.
The town itself has lovely tree lined streets and fine Victorian architecture to admire. One highlight in particular is Hill House, considered to be the finest domestic work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. It was built in 1903 for the publisher Walter Blackie and is open to the public. Inside there is original Mackintosh furniture, and the lovely formal gardens have been restored to their original design.
A mile west of the town is Glenarn, where you will find a special woodland garden overlooking the Gareloch. Two miles east of Helensburgh is Geilston Garden, open daily from April to October. As well as a walled garden, heather garden and woodland glen, it is home to a spectacular Sequoiadendron giganteum. Walking along the river to Kidston Park you will pass memorials to the pioneer of television, John Logie Baird, and Henry Bell, who operated 'The Comet', the first commercial sea-going steamboat in the world.
Tennis, golf, putting and bowling facilities are all available for visitors and there is an indoor swimming pool on the seafront. Here you will also find cafes, shops and pubs, and there are many more in the town supplying everything you need.
During summer there are regular sailings of the paddle steamer Waverley, from Helensburgh pier. Trips take you to the Kyles of Bute along the Clyde Estuary. Further summer attractions in the town are the highland dancing and pipe band performances that are held on the seafront.
The town has excellent rail links with Oban, Fort William and Glasgow. For those travelling by road, Helensburgh offers an ideal base for touring much of western Scotland including beautiful Loch Lomond.
For accommodation please search for Helensburgh holiday cottages.

Auchendennan Farm Cottage (SLLX) is a single-storey holiday cottage; within the house there is a large family sauna which can be used as an ideal way to unwind. Outside on the sun decking, there is a sunken hot tub which is large enough for all the family and powerful enough to give tired muscles a proper massage. Rose Cottage (SRRG) is a single-storey conversion adjoining the owner's farmhouse. Combining modern and traditional furnishings, the property boasts a superb hot tub and external sun decked area for relaxing and unwinding. Burnbeag (SVVE) is a stunning, detached cottage to the rear of the steadings and has a stream running through its private enclosed garden, which has a decked area and hot tub.

Loch Lomond and Loch Earn are some of Scotland's prime venues for sailing and water-skiing, while the rivers Balvaig and Teith are popular with canoeists. The Teith is also a great salmon river and one of many places popular with anglers. For golfing enthusiasts, the famous courses of Loch Lomond are just a short distance from the property, with an abundance of courses for all standards within easy reach.

Algorithm 749: fast discrete cosine transform
Discrete cosine transform
A discrete cosine transform (DCT) expresses a sequence of finitely many data points in terms of a sum of cosine functions oscillating at different frequencies. DCTs are important to numerous applications in science and engineering, from lossy compression of audio and images (where small high-frequency components can be discarded), to spectral methods for the numerical solution of partial differential equations.
more from Wikipedia
Power of two
In mathematics, a power of two means a number of the form 2 where n is an integer, i.e. the result of exponentiation with as base the number two and as exponent the integer n. In a context where only integers are considered, n is restricted to non-negative values, so we have 1, 2, and 2 multiplied by itself a certain number of times. Because two is the base of the binary numeral system, powers of two are common in computer science.
more from Wikipedia
In-place algorithm
In computer science, an in-place algorithm (or in Latin in situ) is an algorithm which transforms input using a data structure with a small, constant amount of extra storage space. The input is usually overwritten by the output as the algorithm executes. An algorithm which is not in-place is sometimes called not-in-place or out-of-place. An algorithm is sometimes, informally, called in-place as long as it overwrites its input with its output.
