Thanks Mike. It sounds like registering contracts with the framework would be the core enabling technology for proper blame assignment and proactive failure prevention. It almost can be read as you guys are planning start working on that
I wonder if it is or someday would be possible to interrogate a method about its contracts at runtime, so the caller could ensure compliance before actually invoking the method? E.g. before sending big batch of data over the wire for pre-processing and loading into a database in one transaction, I get an abstract code tree from the transformation service that represents all or at least some of the checks and run them locally and perform corrective actions proactively.
Measurements in F# is an exciting feature. No doubt about it. I was really impressed when I learned about it being added to the language.
It surely addresses a lot of potential issues with measurement mismatch.
Yet, run time support for measurements still makes a lot of sense.
If you are reading data from external sources at run-time (files, sensors, or web services), you'd still have to implemet all the measurement tracking and conversion yourself. If this can be married to contract somehow, then application would just have to tell the framework that it expects mass to be in kilos, and if input feed turns out to be pounds then conversion would happen under the scene.
Another presumably useful feature would be to declare measures off of classes/types. If for example, I'm counting my chicken, I don't want to be able to inadvertently add this to the count of eggs, unless I explicitly coersed chicken and eggs to be "things".
Anyhow, compile time support is a very good start.
Great, you have it all covered. I'm sold
Now, this in-memory columnar database, is it going to be shipped along with Gemini only, or it eventually make it into some edition of SQL Server engine?
Sure, database query language doesn't have to be SQL (or arguably even shouldn't be SQL), but querying language aside, such a compelling feature as in-memory columnar storage looks very appealing as a generic service.
Columnar in-memory database storage, wow, that's some serious stuff!
A question though, when a dozen of users load their BI-mini apps onto the server and try to run them all, will there be 10 copies of in-memory database on the server (which might quite easily kill the server on the spot)? Or the server version of columnar database in not in-memory?
Good introductiory video. Not too many technical details though.
Are compute node SQL Server instances running the same code as the coordinator? Doesn't sound like they need to.
Is data auto partitioning going to be supported?
How Madison compares to now Oracle's Exadata?
What kind of storage (row oriented, column oriented) is used for compute nodes?
Coordinator still seems like a potential bottleneck, if 150 compute nodes start streaming back to the corrdinator, on a poorly scoped query there is still a good chance to food it with data. Are there any provisions for scaling out the coordinator, or it's vertical scaling for now?
Really looking forward to more videos on Madison (with a bt more details on internals ) .
Ale, thanks a ton for the pointers! Now I have to read them
Ah, wonders of computing. Ideas are simple, yet 90+% of all the implementation work is about discovering and handling all the border cases
Btw, what were those (two?) good books mentioned in passing on the subject of partial template specialization (a.k.a. template meta programming)?
Outstanding, it doesn't even look all that scary A lot of thanks, Louis!
Thank you for the pointers, Louis.
Is there anything that can be used in cases when binaries are coming not from the internal dev.team or a major vendor, like Microsoft, and there is no .pdbs immediately available? Is it possible to blindly search for a sequence of machine code instructions (naive signature matching)? Or in this case /gs injected code "optimized out beyond recognition"?

To examine the associations of depressive symptoms, antidepressant use, and duration of use with incident frailty three years later in nonfrail women ≥ age 65.
Secondary analysis of the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study (WHI-OS), a prospective cohort study.
WHI-OS was conducted in 40 U.S. clinical centers.
Women aged 65-79, not frail at baseline.
Antidepressant use was assessed through medication container inspection at baseline. We created four groups according to baseline use and Burnam depression screen (range 0-1, 0.06 cut-off): antidepressant non-users without depressive symptoms (referent group), antidepressant non-users with depressive symptoms, antidepressant users without depressive symptoms, and antidepressant users with depressive symptoms. Frailty components included slowness/weakness, exhaustion, low physical activity, and unintended weight loss, ascertained through self-report and physical measurements at baseline and year 3.
Among 27652 women at baseline, 4.9% (n=1350) were antidepressant users and 6.5% (n=1794) were categorized depressed. At year 3, 14.9% (n=4125) were frail. All groups had an increased risk for incident frailty compared to the referent group. Odds ratios ranged from 1.73 (95% Confidence Interval (CI) =1.41-2.12) among non-depressed antidepressant users to 3.63 among depressed antidepressant users (95% CI = 2.37-5.55). All durations of use were associated with incident frailty (<1 year OR = 1.95, 95% CI = 1.41-2.68; 1 to 3 years OR = 1.99, 95% CI = 1.45-2.74; > 3 years OR = 1.60, 95% CI = 1.20-2.14).
In older adult women, depressive symptoms and antidepressant use were associated with frailty after 3 years follow-up.
Frailty is characterized by a lack of physiological reserve, an increased vulnerability to stressors and a subsequent risk for adverse health outcomes.(1) In the past several years, a standard and measurable definition of frailty has emerged, paving the way for an expansion of frailty-related research. Recent epidemiological studies define frailty as a syndrome consisting of involuntary weight loss, exhaustion, low activity level, weakness, and slow gait.(2, 3) Older frail adults are at increased risk for various adverse health outcomes, including disability, falls, fractures, hospitalizations, death, and depression.(2-4)
Depression is a significant public health problem in older adults. Approximately 15-20% of community-dwelling elders are estimated to suffer from depressive symptoms.(5-8) These estimates are likely low, however, as mental disorders in older adults often go under recognized and under diagnosed.(9) In older adults, depressive symptoms are associated with numerous adverse outcomes, including social stressors, risk for and worsening of concomitant medical problems, disability, frailty, and death.(2, 3, 8, 10-15) A significantly higher proportion of frail elders experience depressive symptoms compared to nonfrail older adults. Furthermore, nonfrail older adults experiencing depressive symptoms are more likely to become frail after 3 years than those without depressive symptoms.(2, 3)
Because previous studies examining the relationship between frailty and depression excluded individuals prescribed antidepressant medication (2, 3) it is unknown what role, if any, antidepressants play in mitigating, or exacerbating, the risk for frailty in older adults. We are unaware of any study examining antidepressant use in relation to frailty development. It is reasonable to postulate that effective treatment of depressive symptoms with pharmacotherapy could protect from becoming frail by reducing the burden of depression. However, the negative consequences of antidepressant treatment, including risk of falls and fracture, are well established.(16-21) Using longitudinal assessments of women aged 65 years and older who were not frail at baseline, this study examines the associations of depression, antidepressant use, and duration of antidepressant use at baseline with incident frailty three years later using data from the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study (WHI-OS), a large prospective cohort study.
We used data from the WHI-OS, a prospective study of 93,676 postmenopausal women aged 50-79 years recruited from 40 clinical centers throughout the United States between 1993 and 1998. Women enrolled in any of the WHI clinical trials were not eligible for the WHI-OS. Details about the WHI-OS study design, recruitment, and data collection methods have been previously published.(22-24) Human subjects review committees at each participating institution reviewed and approved the study, and all women gave written informed consent.
The present analysis includes women aged 65 to 79 years who were not frail at baseline (n=33,324). Women were excluded if they reported Parkinson's disease or medications for Parkinson's disease at baseline, which could manifest as frailty, or if they were missing information on the Burnam depression screen. The frailty outcome could not be determined in 4564 women missing information on one of the frailty components, leaving a final sample of 27652 participants.
The definition of frailty was based on criteria used in the Cardiovascular Health Study.(2) This definition has been associated with future disability, hospitalization, hip fracture, and mortality in older adult women in the WHI-OS.(3) The four components of frailty were muscle weakness or slowness, exhaustion, low physical activity, and unintentional weight loss. Frailty was assessed at year three.
Muscle weakness or slowness was measured by the RAND-36 Physical Function Scale.(25) This scale includes 10 items asking how much (a lot, a little, not at all) current health limits a variety of activities, including walking; climbing stairs; lifting or carrying groceries; bending, kneeling, or stooping; and moderate and vigorous activities. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better physical function. A score in the lowest quartile of this scale was highly associated with poor grip strength and slow walking speed in the WHI clinical trial.(3)
Poor endurance or exhaustion was measured by the RAND-36 Vitality Scale (range 0-100). This scale includes 4 items pertaining to how the participant felt in the previous four weeks: "Did you… feel worn-out? …feel tired? …feel full of pep? …have a lot of energy?"
Low physical activity was assessed using items on a questionnaire that asks the frequency and duration of four walking speeds and activities in the prior week.(26, 27) Energy expended in a week (kcal) on leisure activities was calculated as a metabolic equivalent task hours score = kcal/wk × kg.(28)
Unintentional weight loss was based on weight measured at clinic visits at baseline and year 3 as well as a self-reported item at year 3 asking whether recent weight loss was intentional. Unintentional weight loss was defined as weight loss of more than 5% of body weight in the previous 2 years that was not reported as intentional.
A frailty component was classified as present if a participant scored in the lowest quartile of distribution for that component or had unintentional weight loss. Participants were given 1 point for each frailty component present, except muscle weakness or slowness. To align scoring with the convention of Fried(2), a participant was given 2 points if they had muscle weakness or slowness because the physical function scale measured both muscle strength and walking ability. The individual frailty component points were summed, and a participant was classified as frail for ≥ 3 points, intermediate frail for 1 or 2 points, and non-frail for 0 points.
Participants were asked to bring all current medications to their baseline interview. Medications used for at least 2 weeks were recorded by clinic interviewers who entered medication names and strengths directly from containers into a database that assigned drug codes using Medi-Span software (First DataBank, Inc., San Bruno, CA). Duration of use was recorded from self-report. We categorized women as users or non-users of antidepressant medications based on baseline medication use only. Duration was categorized as use for one year or less, use for one to three years, or use for greater than three years. We did not consider trazodone an antidepressant in our analysis, based on its more common use as a sedative/hypnotic. Antidepressants were categorized based on mechanism of action into selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), or other or multiple antidepressants.
Depressive symptoms were assessed at baseline using the Burnam 8-item depression screening instrument.(29) The Burnam screen comprises six items from the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) about the frequency of depressive symptoms during the past week and two items from the National Institute of Mental Health's Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS) about the duration of symptoms. Specifically, participants indicated how often they felt depressed, had restless sleep, enjoyed life, had crying spells, felt sad, and felt that people disliked them in the past week, scored from 0 (less than 1 day) to 3 (5-7 days). Duration questions are scored yes or no and ask 1.) if individuals felt sad, blue, or depressed or lost pleasure in things for two weeks or more in the past year and 2.) if individuals felt depressed or sad much of the time in the past year. The normative groups for the screener were drawn from two population-based studies.(29) In both studies, respondents were classified as either primary care outpatients or mental health patients. Scores for each item are weighted ranging from -0.280 to 2.712. The scoring algorithm, using a prediction equation developed by Burnam et al (29), gives a composite score between 0 and 1 which represents the probability of having a depressive disorder. We used the standard cut point of ≥ 0.06 to dichotomize the continuous scale into depressive and not depressive. (29, 30) This cut-point had an 86% sensitivity and a 90-95% specificity for detecting a current depressive episode in primary care patients.(29) In addition, we created a 3-category depressive-symptoms scale, using a more sensitive cut-point of 0.009 (≤ 0.009, 0.009 to 0.06, ≥ 0.06), to indicate low, medium, and high depressive symptoms. The more sensitive cut-point of 0.009 improves the sensitivity of the Burnam for detecting depressive symptoms in those with a lifetime mood disorder.(29, 30) The Burnam screen does not include items about fatigue or energy, reducing the risk of operational confounding between the measures of depression and definition used for frailty.
We examined several covariates that could be potential confounders. Demographic information, medical history, and health behaviors were based on self-report at baseline. Smoking status was classified as current, past, or never. Weekly alcohol consumption was estimated from a food frequency questionnaire, and categorized based on self-reported drinks per week. Hormone therapy use was classified as current, past, or never based on reported use of estrogen with or without progestin. Baseline medical conditions included a physician diagnosis of hypertension (taking high blood pressure medications and/or a blood pressure of ≥140/90 mmHg), diabetes mellitus treatment and self-report of the following: emphysema, hip fracture after the age of 55, a history of at least 2 falls in the previous year, arthritis, cancer, and stroke. A history of coronary heart disease (CHD) was based on self-reported physician diagnosis of myocardial infarction, angina, or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty procedures (PTCA). Body mass index (BMI) was measured using baseline height and weight and defined as weight (kg) divided by height (m2). Activities of daily living (ADL) disability was measured by asking participants about the amount of help (no help, some help, totally dependent) needed to eat, dress and undress, get in and out of bed, and take a bath or shower. ADL disability was defined as needing assistance with one or more ADL.
We created four distinct groups based on baseline antidepressant use and depressive symptoms: 1. Antidepressant non-users who were not depressed; 2. Antidepressant users who were not depressed; 3. Antidepressant non-users who were depressed; and 4. Antidepressant users who were depressed. Baseline characteristics were compared across these four groups using chi-square tests for categorical variables and ANOVA for continuous variables. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to examine the association between frailty, antidepressant use, and depressive symptoms. Frailty and intermediate frailty were the two outcomes and the four distinct depressive symptoms-antidepressant use groups were the predictors of interest, adjusting for covariates known to be independent predictors of frailty.(3) To examine the association between length of antidepressant use, severity of depressive symptoms, and antidepressant class with incident frailty, we conducted additional analyses with frailty as the outcome and the 3-category depressive symptoms, 4-category length of antidepressant use, and 4-category antidepressant class as predictors of interest, adjusting for covariates. We report odds ratios and corresponding 95% confidence intervals from these logistic models. All data were analyzed using STATA SE version 10.1 (StataCorp LP, College Station, Texas).
At baseline, 1794 women (6.5%) were categorized as depressed. Only 4.9% of women (n=1350) were using an antidepressant (Table 1), of whom 18.5% (n=250) were experiencing depressive symptoms. Tricyclic antidepressant use was more common than the other categories of antidepressants, with 44.5% (n=601) of women using TCAs, 41.3% (n=557) using SSRIs, and 14.2% (n=192) using other or multiple antidepressants. Out of the 192 other or multiple antidepressant users, 23.3% were using multiple antidepressants, which mainly consisted of concurrent SSRI and TCA use. Baseline depression was associated with lower income, less education, living alone, obesity, and being a current smoker (Table 1). Women who were depressed were more likely to self-report poorer health, and to have diabetes, a history of CHD, and a history of COPD. A greater proportion of antidepressant users at baseline were younger in age, white, current hormone therapy users, and had hypertension; a history of falls, arthritis, and stroke; and at least two chronic diseases.
At the three year follow-up, 8653 women (31.3%) met the criteria for intermediate frailty and 4125 (14.9%) were frail. Depressive symptoms were associated with an increased risk for becoming intermediate frail and frail, adjusting for antidepressant use and other important covariates. Women with high depressive symptom scores had the highest risk for incident frailty (OR=2.19, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 1.86-2.59), but those with intermediate depressive symptoms still had an increased risk (OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.14-1.50) compared to women without depressive symptoms (Figure 1). All durations of antidepressant use were associated with similar increased odds of becoming intermediate frail and frail at year 3, adjusting for depressive symptoms and other covariates (Figure 1). Results for intermediate frailty were not as strong, but showed a similar pattern.
Compared to non-users of antidepressants without depressive symptoms, all three groups had an increased risk for incident frailty, even after controlling for important covariates (Table 2). Specifically, antidepressant users exhibiting depressive symptoms were 3.63 times as likely to develop frailty as non-depressed, non-users (95% CI = 2.37-5.55); non-users with depressive symptoms were 2.05 times as likely (95% CI = 1.71-2.46); and non-depressed users were 1.73 times as likely (95% CI = 1.41-2.12). As with the other analyses, the strength of the associations with intermediate frailty was weaker. Additional analyses (results not shown) excluding users of other psychoactive medications (anxiolytics, hypnotics, and anti-psychotics) did not change the results to any appreciable extent.
All three antidepressant classes were associated with increased risk of incident frailty compared to no antidepressant use. TCA users were 1.52 times as likely to become frail (95% CI =1.17-1.96) and SSRI users were 1.86 times as likely (95% CI=1.40-2.48). The odds ratio for other or multiple antidepressant use was highest at 2.94 (95% CI = 1.85-4.66). The use of tricyclic antidepressants was not significantly associated with intermediate frailty, after controlling for covariates, including depressive symptoms (OR=1.21, 95% CI=0.97-1.51). However, use of SSRIs or other / multiple antidepressants did reach statistical significance (intermediate frailty OR=1.64, 95% CI = 1.31-2.06 and OR=2.06, 95% CI = 1.23-3.46, respectively).
Our data support a strong association between depression and incident frailty in older adult women. We also found, in those free from frailty at baseline, any amount of antidepressant use is associated with frailty development at three years follow-up. All comparison groups had an increased risk for incident frailty, even when controlling for confounders, including chronic medical co-morbidities. However, antidepressant users also exhibiting depressive symptoms appeared to have the highest risk of becoming frail. The reasons for these findings warrant exploration.
To our knowledge, this is the first study examining antidepressant medication as treatment for depression in relation to frailty development. Prior studies have linked depressive symptoms, as opposed to treatment for depression, to current (prevalent) frailty, as well as to new onset (incident) frailty.(2, 3, 15) In their landmark study using data from the Cardiovascular Health Study, Fried and colleagues reported that 31% of frail older adults had a CES-D score of at least 10, suggestive of depression, compared with 14% of intermediate frail older adults, and only 3% of nonfrail elders (trend p-value <0.001).(2) Using data from the Women's Health Initiative, Woods and colleagues reported that nonfrail older adults experiencing depressive symptoms were 2.2 times as likely to become frail over 3 years than older adults without depressive symptoms (p-value <0.001).(3) Older adults taking antidepressants were excluded from both the Fried and the Woods study, so results cannot be generalized to individuals not receiving pharmacologic treatment for depression.
The strong association between frailty and depression is not surprising given the overlap of frailty characteristics with depressive symptoms. Both frailty and depression are associated with inactivity, weight loss, reduced physical activity, and exhaustion, in addition to negative long-term health consequences, such as physical disability, hospitalization, and mortality. (2, 3, 31-35) The role of antidepressants is less clear. Amongst the women taking antidepressants who had few depressive symptoms, it is reasonable to postulate a similar risk for frailty as for non-users with few depressive symptoms. Similarly, it is reasonable to postulate that all depressed older adults might have a similar risk of frailty regardless of antidepressant use. Instead, we found that, even in the absence of depressive symptoms, antidepressant users had an increased risk for developing frailty.
We offer the following possible explanations for our seemingly incongruent findings. First, antidepressant adverse effects may have contributed to frailty risk. Second, individuals receiving medication treatment for depressive symptoms may differ from those who do not receive pharmacotherapy in ways we did not measure. Third, and most likely, antidepressant users, especially those still experiencing depressive symptoms, may suffer from a more severe, recurrent, or chronic form of depression.
All antidepressants are associated with adverse effects. For example, antidepressants are associated with increase risk for falls and fractures, which are in turn associated with frailty development.(19, 21, 36, 37) Adverse effects and tolerability vary by antidepressant class due to class specific pharmacologic actions. Despite this variability, our results indicate that all antidepressant classes are associated with an increased risk for frailty. We were limited in our ability to meaningfully compare frailty risk between individual classes, however. Instead, we compared SSRI, TCA, and other or multiple antidepressant use to no use and found that users of other or multiple antidepressants appeared to have the highest risk of becoming frail. Direct antidepressant class comparisons warrant future exploration.
Antidepressant users experiencing depressive symptoms scored higher on the Burnam scale, on average, than the other groups in our study, suggesting more severe depression. Additionally, we found that women with greater depressive symptoms had the highest risk of becoming frail. In a sensitivity analysis, we excluded users of other psychoactive medications in an attempt to exclude those with worse mental health or with co-occurring mental health diagnoses. Results did not change. Users with depressive symptoms also suffered from significantly poorer health – they were more likely to rate their health as fair or poor and to suffer from chronic co-morbidities. Co-morbid illness is a predictor of both depression and inadequate response to antidepressant treatment. (38-41) Our results suggest the overlap of depressive symptoms with disease burden may promote frailty development, despite antidepressant treatment.
We did not have access to information about length of the current depressive episode or history of depression. However, recurrent and treatment resistant depression would be expected to result in longer durations of antidepressant use. We examined the association between duration of antidepressant use as a proxy for length of depressive symptoms and incident frailty. Risk did not seem to vary with duration of antidepressant use, suggesting no differences in short-term and long-term treatment. These findings must be interpreted with caution, however, and future studies should explore how depression severity and treatment resistance relates to frailty.
Strengths of our study include its prospective design, the inclusion of more than 1300 antidepressant users, the objective collection of antidepressant use, and the availability of information on health behaviors, health status, and co-morbidities. We were able to control for a large number of covariates related to frailty. Additionally, unlike many other frailty studies, our frailty definition was distinct from our measure of depressive symptoms.
Limitations include the lack of information on antidepressant indication, dose, and treatment adherence. Antidepressants are commonly used for conditions other than depression, including anxiety, sleep, and pain.(42-45) While we were able to determine that an antidepressant had been prescribed, we did not have access to clinician diagnoses, nor did we have dosing information to help elucidate treatment adequacy or indication. Further, we could not determine that an antidepressant medication was actually taken, though misclassification of antidepressant use could be expected to bias our results toward the null. During the 3-year follow-up period, we were not able to ascertain antidepressant initiation or discontinuation in relation to frailty development. The prevalence of depression in our sample is lower than that reported in other WHI studies, which could be due to our exclusion of women who were frail at baseline. Also, we were not able to directly examine whether the effect of antidepressant use on incident frailty differs between women who did and did not experience depressive symptoms at baseline. Finally, despite attempts to control for potential confounding, our results are subject to confounding by indication biases.
Confounding by indication threatens the validity of all pharmacologic observational studies. In general terms, confounding by indication occurs when the indication for a medication being studied is associated with the outcome of interest. Depression is a known strong predictor of frailty development, and the primary indication for antidepressant use. Confounding by indication bias could conceal any beneficial effects of antidepressant treatment on incident frailty. We attempted to control for this source of bias by creating four mutually exclusive groups based on antidepressant use and depressive symptoms, by controlling for potential confounders in our multivariate adjustment, and by using multinomial logistic regression models. However, we cannot exclude the possibility that we were unable to completely account for baseline differences between antidepressant users and nonusers. Only a randomized controlled trial can completely control for this potential bias.
In conclusion, in this large, prospective observational study of more than 27,000 women, depressive symptoms and antidepressant use were strongly related to increased risks for incident frailty over three years. Even in the absence of depressive symptoms, antidepressant use was associated with becoming frail. While we cannot exclude the possibility of residual confounding due to inadequate measurement of depressive symptoms, our results highlight the importance of depression screening in older adults and suggest that pharmacotherapy alone for treatment of depression does not reduce an older depressed woman's risk for becoming frail. Depression treatment trials in older adults should include frailty as an outcome measure. Further research is needed to elucidate the possible role of antidepressants in the depression-frailty relationship.

The usleep he's referring to is a driver I wrote (see this page): <http://docswiki.gumstix.com/index.php/Usleep_drv> The real problem, is that in order to eliminate the discontinuity that is being seen, EACH and EVERY sample needs to be a constant time from the previous sample. The way that your code is done, the iteration when nCount == NSAMPLES will take longer than all of the rest. This will cause the discontinuity. The only good way to eliminate it to have the acquisition of the sample triggered by some hardware source (like a timer or an external clock). > I disagree with Dave that mutexes lock/unlock aren't required around > pthread_cond_wait() and pthread_cond_broadcast().

Starting from where they winter in Southern California & Mexico, these travelers navigate their way home with amazing precision and faithfulness. Delta Utah is one of their first stops as they follow the melting ice northward. They are drawn here by the abundant food source in the form of the new green shoots that are starting to appear.

WHAT TO BRING: Please wear warm clothing, caps, boots and gloves. March in Utah may cold and possibly some snow. For photography equipment you will want to include your camera, extra batteries, tripod and lens ranging from wide angle to your longest focal length you own.

The club is putting together an innovative new program format to allow members to share their work in a brisk and orderly fashion that's sure to be of interest to all. In the new "Ten in Ten" meeting participating photographers will have ten minutes to present ten images and provide the background as they see fit. These ten images can have any theme you wish: your best from 2014, a short visual travelogue, or a project you are working on.
If you want to share Ten in Ten sign up here. We will take the first ten who sign up and you will be notified if you are selected. If so, bring your images on a USB storage device to the meeting. Please use the competition format for the images. (Digital images should be in sRGB, JPEG format (.jpg) at a maximum size of 1920 pixels on the long side and at a resolution of 300 ppi.)
We are pleased to announce our next PhotoOp15 speaker will be Moose Peterson. Moose is a prolific author, award-winning photographer and a Nikon Ambassador. He will center his presentation around two popular topics: landscape and wildlife photography.

PhotoOp is open to everyone, but pre-registration is required as seating is limited. There will be a small charge to cover event expenses. This will be the fourth PhotoOp the club has offered and attendance has grown each year.
The Wasatch Camera Club announces its first overnight field trip to Monument Valley! Join fellow club members May 14-17, 2015 in the heart of the Navajo Nation in northern Arizona. Hone your landscape photography skills, hang out with others passionate about the art, and capture some awe-inspiring shots.
As one of the most dramatic, iconic landscapes in North America, Monument Valley is the quintessential symbol of the American West. Sandstone buttes, many over 1,000 feet tall, rise above the valley floor resulting in a mystical place of gigantic proportions.
During field trip, we will have a Navajo guide to help us explore the remote backcountry not accessible to the general public. The full itinerary has yet to be determined, but other stops may include Natural Bridges National Monument, House on Fire, Fallen Roof, Mexican Hat, Valley of the Gods, and Gooseneck State Park. Dawn, sunset, night photography...they're all game.
Participation will be limited to 10 members. There will be a $50 non-refundable deposit required for the guide's service. Participants will cover their own travel/lodging costs and there will be additional fees. Stay tuned for more information.
Note: REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED Registration will be opened in an upcoming e-mail, so watch your inbox carefully. If the trip fills up, your registration will be automatically added to a waiting list. Successful registrants will be notified by e-mail within 24 hours after the registration open e-mail. They will post their deposits at that time.

Fresh back from a photo junket to Cambodia, Jeff will include three works from this trip and a little over 60 other works including landscapes, travel and architecture.
You're invited to the artist's reception on February 11th from 7 to 9 p.m. where you can view the images as well as engage the artist himself. Refreshments will be provided.
When: Monday, February 2 - Friday, February 27
Where: Salt Lake Jewish Community Center, 2 N Medical Dr, Salt Lake City

Doug Pizac -- who has presented many informative and educational Wasatch Camera Club workshops (see bio below) -- will demonstrate some simple and quick Photoshop techniques that can turn mundane images into magnificent art. When prints were made in a wet darkroom a variety of tools and tricks were used to bring out detail and enhance/expand the tonal range. Starting with Camera Raw, Doug will show you the equivalents of hot developer, hot water, potassium ferrocyanide, etc. when using PS burn and dodge tools. In addition, if you have an image that you would like to offer as a demo, bring it on a flash drive that is formatted for use on a PC laptop.
Bio: Doug gained his expert photography and darkroom skills through multiple internships with photographers, editors and master printers at National Geographic during college and a workshop with Ansel Adams before his death. With his computer programming knowledge he has been able to translate these procedures to Photoshop. He also has Adobe certification in Photoshop. After 30+ years with The Associated Press as a staff photographer he now freelances and is transferring his decades of experience to college students through teaching.

Hemochromatosis Directory
Hemochromatosis happens when too much iron builds up in the body, leading to damage of the liver and heart. The condition tends to run in families, but people sometimes get it from having a lot of blood transfusions, liver disease, or alcoholism, or from taking too many iron pills. Early symptoms include weakness, joint pain, belly pain, and a darkening of the skin. Blood tests will confirm a diagnosis. Treatments include having blood taken out of the body on a regular schedule and taking medicines called chelating agents. Follow the links below to find WebMD's comprehensive coverage about what causes hemochromatosis, its symptoms, how to treat it, and much more.

Category: baby name Athena
By Emily Cardoza, Nothing like a name
Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns, driven time and again off course…
The man referred to above is literary idol Odysseus, whose story is still taught in schools across the country and referenced in hundreds of books and films – including one of my favorites, O Brother Where Art Thou? Today we'll be looking at just a few of the names of characters in his epic journey.
By Abby Sandel, Appellation Mountain
Snooki is looking for another Italian name. David Arquette promised to name his baby something normal. Kerry Washington honored her daughter's Igbo heritage with a distinctive middle, and blogger Dana Miller borrowed a street name for a deeply meaningful choice.
For many of us, we know the characteristics we'd like in our child's name long before we arrive at the actual name.
It seems sensible. It's the way we shop for a car – seats six, good safety record – or a couch – stain-resistant fabric, big enough to fill up the family room, convenient delivery available.
But it isn't the same at all, is it? When it comes to naming our children, we're not completing a checklist that gets us to good enough. The standard is higher – we're looking for a certain magic.
By Linda Rosenkrantz
In the mythologies of ancient Greece and Rome, most of the deities had shared lineages, dominions and attributes—but not appellations. I thought it might be fun to pit the names of the two cultures against each other and let you see if your taste ran more to the Greek or Roman. The one major exception to this rule is Apollo—recently chosen by Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale—whose name stayed the same.
Here they are, with Greeks on the left, the Romans to the right.
The most notable names of 2012 take a colorful direction this year, with influences that range from presidents to K-pop, celebrities and the characters they play, and from the web to the weather.
Our picks for the 12 names most emblematic of 2012 – plus the dozen also-rans – are:
Malala. Runnerup: Dilma
Malala Yousufzai, the Pakistani 14-year-old who was gunned down by the Taliban for championing girls' education, wrote that her melodious name means "grief stricken." Malala could well become an inspiration name choice for young girls in the Western World. Another female name to emerge from world politics this year is Dilma, via Brazil's first woman president Dilma Rousseff, who was named after her mother.
For decades now, the names celebrities give their kids have had a tremendous effect on baby naming, one that has increased exponentially. From Ava to Willow, Maddox to Kingston, the proof is in the numbers.
So what are the latest starbaby influencers right now? We compared the fastest climbers on the Social Security list with the most popular baby names so far this year on Nameberry to pinpoint the most influential celebrity baby names today. They are:

OCOEE, Fla. - A nurse who was fired for looking at golfer Tiger Woods' medical records in the days after his November 2009 car crash is suing an Orlando-area hospital for defamation.
David M. Rothenberg has sued Health Central for $400,000 in damages, reinstatement, and is asking for a letter from hospital officials explaining that he was fired based on circumstantial evidence.
Woods was treated at the facility after the crash outside his home in Windermere, Fla., Orlando's richest suburb.
Officials say they fired Rothenberg, a registered nurse, in December 2009 for using his computer to look at Woods' records three times over a 10-minute period. Rothenberg faces losing his nursing license because of the allegations.
In the lawsuit, he denies looking at the records.
The Orlando Sentinel reports that Woods used the aliases Ronald Williams and Ernest Smith during his stay at Health Central, according to the lawsuit.
Rothenberg offered to take a polygraph test and "swore on the life of his children" that he never looked at Woods' medical records, the Sentinel reports.

The Feelies On World Cafe
A beloved indie-rock band of the 1970s and '80s, The Feelies never quite caught on with more than a loyal circle of hardcore fans and music critics. But the group's layered guitar-rock was extremely influential, and continues to exert an influence.
Forming in 1976, the band got its start in the midst of punk's popularity. Though Glenn Mercer and Bill Million started out as a duo called Outkids, they later evolved into The Feelies with the addition of Keith Clayton and Vinnie DeNunzio. Come 1980, The Feelies released a debut album, Crazy Rhythms, which would become a major influence on members of R.E.M., among others. The group continued to put out critically praised, though not necessarily money-raking, albums into the early '90s.
Set List
"Crazy Rhythm"
"Higher Ground"
"Let's Go"
The Feelies' broke up in 1992 after the release of Time for a Witness. But the band reunited in 2008 for several performances, including a concert with Sonic Youth at Battery Park in New York City. Following a string of Feelies shows in 2009, Bar/None Records reissued the albums that started it all: Crazy Rhythms and The Good Earth both returned to store shelves in September.

It's beautiful
By Happyturtle

We didn't have much money to spend, so we only laminated this piece instead of having it framed. It's been on the bedroom wall for a month now, and it makes me smile whenever I see it. It's a lovely piece to look at. The lamination is a sort of matte finish which keeps the light from reflecting off of it, and it stays on the wall easily with Blu-tak. It's peaceful and beautiful and I only wish I could have afforded to frame it.

Well, I didn't follow the best practises and I'm now kind of stuck, not knowning what to do exactly.
I worked on master branch and another developper did the same. He pushed his changes to origin/master. I did not push mine but just did a couple of commits in local. There is no more development beeing done in my working dir now. How can I clean this ?
Is it enough to do a fetch on my side to get the last modif done on origin/master without messing the whole thing up ?

I need a bit of help with the polynomial section of the AKS algorithm.
I have read quite a few descriptions online. I have got the perfect power test working and I think my get_r() function is correct. I am not sure how to go about doing this part of the algorithm:
For a = 1 to square-root(totient(r) * log(n)):
if (X+a)^n != X^n+a (mod X^r − 1,n), output composite
(Also see wikipedia article AKS primality test for a statement of the algorithm.)
Below are links to a program I wrote to implement the miller-rabin test and my (unfinished) aks code.
If someone can explain the maths or give me a bit of pseudocode, I should be okay. thanks

Well, I don't have any future plans for him if only because he doesn't really exist except in those photos. The scabs and boils were hand-drawn on for each photo using Photoshop. That process was rather grueling, but I don't think I have the requisite skillz to get the same effect using paint on an actual fig.
I put a lot of thought into how best to portray Job in his tormented state. As always, I very much wanted to find a purist LEGO solution. I was very happy to have the Mandrake head from Harry Potter, but try as I might, I couldn't think of a way to find a matching LEGO body that looked nealry disgusting enough to provide the visual impact I was looking to make.
Maybe I'll re-illustrate Job in a more purist way after LEGO releases their Medieval Plague sets in 2013.
Thanks, Zepher. I do appreciate comments, and always try to reply.
Glad I was able to make Job visually appealing (well, maybe not the fig himself). I had my worries about that since there's so much dialogue. But I tried to keep the camera angles dramatic and fresh at the least.
Now it's time to start planning for Revelation...

There's one question on my mind. At the end of the story, when God restored Job's life (giving him again animals, children, ...) you didn't restore the looks of Job. He still looks as bad as he did when he was being tested. Is this your own interpretation? Does the Bible give any specifics about that?

The Bible does not say anything about Job's skin being restored. I'm not sure whether the author (or authors?) of Job intend for the reader to assume that Job went back to looking as he did before God had Satan physically torture him. If we are meant to think so, I would guess Job would have somehow been given new skin. This would be in line with his receiving new children intsead of his killed childen being restored to life, new animals instead of his old animals being restored to life, and new riches instead of his former riches being returned.
But as the story has come to us, there is nothing said about Job's skin. That being the case, I decided I'd depict Job's skin as beginning to heal once God stops tormenting him, but as with any case of a skin ailment that profound, I imagined that the effects of it would never fully go away (without some specified supernatural intervention, that is). I think, for me, it also represented the idea that although Job was given twice the riches he once had, and a new "replacement" set of ten children, he would always have with him the torments he suffered emotionally and physically.
Interestingly, the Bible also never says what happens with Job's wife. It doesn't say whether Job's ten new children are born to a new wife (or wives), or whenther his original wife stayed with him through everything. So I just decided not to show any wife in the last few illustrations since no wife is mentioned.

I happen to be visiting relatives in a small city called Hebi in Henan (province where HOGS is headquartered) right now (I work in finance in Hong Kong normally), and I own HOGS, so here's my quick 2 cents. Not that this is a scientific observation, but every supermarket I have been in the past week (about 5) has had big Zhongpin displays for its products. Keep in mind that this city is several levels below a city like Zhengzhou, which is the provincial capital, which in China is something like a tier 3 or 4 city. I've also been to many other cities in Henan (this is my home province), and I've had similar experiences. Again, not scientific but it is what it is.
I won't presume to know the fate of this company, but regarding the posters who are quick to compare this company to other firms that have run into trouble such as CHBT, one difference I notice here is the wider analyst coverage including more reputable names such as Macquarie and Cowen. It'll be interesting to see if/how they respond.
Just broke thru yearly high volume....
Hold on....
I think there are a lot of day-trader shorts involved. They place their bets in the morning and close out by the end of day. Remember how the stock went up almost 12% on close on Friday at 500,000 volume.
I think it could, especially if the market also stages a recovery.
On Jun 27, 2011 3,178,500 shares were traded.
Highest volume within the last year, maybe ever.
Will we beat it and close around $10.50 ?
Seems to be a massive short attack. Volume is 4 times already.
Yes, appears to be some DNS issues going on.
It's a real company, but it does not mean they will not delist.
Um yeah, sure, I don't think anyone's going to disagree with what you said...it's perfectly factual/neutral. I'm not going to get into the merits of investing in Chinese small-caps right now b/ we all know that's fairly pointless in this environment. My MBA and work exp isn't gonna help me much in filtering out all the frauds from the squeaky clean firms (which possibly don't exist in China right now, at least in the western sense). I just shared the above b/ I happen to be in a unique position. To each their own...
thanks for your input kidx, please continue to share

This Viewpoint discusses potential benefits to revising the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program.
Hospital readmissions are costly and detrimental to both patients and taxpayers. In 2013, almost 18% of Medicare patients were readmitted to the hospital within 30 days.1 Although this rate is somewhat lower than in previous years, patients are still being readmitted too often, potentially costing Medicare more than $26 billion annually. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), an estimated $17 billion of that expenditure is related to readmissions that could have been avoided.2
