"RE: D40 or D50 for a Beginner Kit?"
I just bought a D40 to use as a lightweight/car/snapshot/goof-off camera. I leave an 18-55 VR on it, or my Holga lens. The drivers for my decision were price and size/weight, so I got the D40 over the D50. The D70 is also an option.Since he is just starting out, the 18-55 and 55-200 are dirt cheap and have built in motors. You could get a D40 (or D50/D70 -- they are priced similarly) used from KEH for about $160, an 18-55 VR for $80, and a 55-200 VR for $110. That would make a great beginner's kit, and is only about $350.

CLEAN WATER CURRENT – July 25
EPA Proposes Changes To NPDES Program
On May 18, EPA published a proposal to update certain elements of its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations. The stated intent of the draft rule is to modernize the NPDES program and increase transparency, while adding additional clarification to key provisions. A number of the changes are simple modifications that help to bring the NPDES program into the 21st century, but the proposal also includes amendments that could result in additional burden for permitting authorities and permittees, including clean water agencies. NACWA is soliciting member feedback on those provisions. » Read more

hey guys, i'd like to know if somebody have any suggestion of quick and easy changes to do in this final sprint.
Changes are given by the nature of the algorithms, data structures and code you're writing, that of which you've mentioned nothing. i.e. Changes are relative to something....
- see which compiler fits better g++ or icpc- see what flags do better -O3, -O2, -msse4.2, -march=corei7 etc- change chunk size in OpenMP, switch dynamic/static (if using OpenMP)- check for memory leaks/ free memory/ don't free memory for speed :D ...Give though the server "state" as i read from posts, any mistakes now can also make you miss the whole contest (if solutions doesn't compile anymore for say)...
The most important "change" is to make sure that you sumbitted the version of programm you really want to submit!
Pretty good answers. Besides, march=native is a pretty good guess to. It let's the compiler determine the architecture it'll be compiled on, and optimize for it. Hence, your solution is optimized for what machine it's compiled on.
unfortunatelly -Ofast doesnt even work, would be cool to look if its good. there are lots of compiler options
You can also put some Inline tags in your loops, which explicit force the compiler to inline some functions. good for small function calls at the end of bigger loops.
Also u should aviod funktioncalls in the loop, if u can take them out of it. The vector stuff in a special topic.
uint32 instead of uint64 if u can. free memory immideatly when u do not need it.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The cars are exotic and the engines
whine rather than growl. It's sports car time at Daytona.
And this year, the Rolex 24 seems somewhat like a stock car race
rather than an endurance event.
At least part of the reason for the added excitement at the
traditional opening of Daytona's Speed Weeks this weekend is a
lineup that includes nine NASCAR Nextel Cup stars as well as top
drivers from the Champ Car World Series and the IndyCar Series.
"It's a lot of fun,'' said 2003 Cup champion Matt Kenseth,
making his debut in a sports car. "You come here and feel like a
rookie. I never even knew where the road course was here.''
Part of the 3.56-mile circuit will be very familiar to the
NASCAR drivers, who will race here in two weeks in the Daytona 500.
The road course uses three-fourths of the 2½-mile, high-banked
oval, then snakes through the infield.
Kenseth will drive a Ford Multimatic Daytona Prototype, sharing
the ride with two Roush Racing teammates, Cup champion Kurt Busch
and Greg Biffle. They're joined by Canadian sports car ace Scott
"The biggest thing for us is to come here and have fun,'' said
Busch, also a sports car newcomer. "We're going to have a team
meeting later today to get to understand more about a 24-hour
scenario. But, really, we're going to learn as we go.''
Biffle appeared the most excited of the Roush trio.
"Every time I get in the car, I get faster,'' he said. "I
really can't wait for the green flag. I'm really enjoying this
Other NASCAR regulars entered in the 24-hour race are Jimmie
Johnson, Jamie McMurray, Casey Mears, Bobby Labonte, Terry Labonte,
a class champion here in 1984; and Tony Stewart, whose team was
leading last year with 20 minutes to go before a broken suspension
part cost it the victory.
Also in the lineup are Champ Car World Series champion Sebastien
Bourdais and former series champions Paul Tracy and Cristiano da
Matta, as well as IRL stars Scott Dixon, Dan Wheldon, Dario
Franchitti, Darren Manning and Bryan Herta.
Tracy and German driver Ralf Kelleners join defending champions
Terry Borcheller, Christian Fittipaldi and Forest Barber in the
Pontiac-powered Doran prototype that won here last February.
"I'm very fortunate to join a team that has so much experience
and a real chance to win the race,'' Tracy said. "I did this once
before, in the `80s, but I hardly remember it, so it's like being
all new again. I'm really looking forward to the race.''
For the Grand American Rolex Series regulars, the chance to
compete against the best of the rest in American racing is a real
Scott Pruett and Max Papis, who shared the Daytona Prototype
championship last season, said they are delighted with the all-star
lineup for the twice-around-the-clock race that begins Saturday at
"It just brings more spotlight on us and on where the series is
going,'' said Pruett, who will start from the pole in a Lexus
Riley, one of the record 29 Daytona Prototypes entered here. "It's
a little different thing for them to do because you're dealing with
three other guys in your car.
"For a lot of these guys, I know that's a little different than
they're used to. But I think it's awesome to have these guys
Papis, who has changed teams this season, is impressed by depth
and diversity of the 62-car field.
"I think this is the largest number of champions ever to run in
the 24 hours,'' Papis said. "It's going to be really cool because
I've watched these guys on TV a lot of times and now I'm going to
have the opportunity to run really close to them.''

NEW JERSEY (CBSNewYork) — As Memorial Day weekend nears, you may be wondering how the state of the Jersey Shore is following rebuilding from Superstorm Sandy and a very tough winter season.
For the record, "Our beaches are in excellent condition moving forward for this summer," Dr. Jon Miller said.
Miller, a research assistant professor at Stevens Institute, works on the State of the Shore report every year for the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium, WCBS 880's Levon Putney reported.
"We've been the beneficiary of a lot of great work done by the Corps of Engineers and the state in re-nourishing our beaches. So in a lot of cases, they're actually built back stronger and better even prior to Sandy," he said.
State Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin told Putney they've tested the waters up and down the shore.
"The water is excellent on all the shore beaches," he said. "So we're looking forward to the summer and a great start to the summer with Memorial Day."

Statement attributable to the Spokesman for the Secretary-General on Pakistan
New York, 20 January 2016
The Secretary-General condemns the terrorist attack by armed militants at Bacha Khan University in the city of Charsadda, Pakistan, today, which killed at least 19 people and wounded dozens more. He is appalled by such acts of violence and calls for the perpetrators to be swiftly brought to justice.
The Secretary-General recalls that just over a year ago Pakistan experienced one of the deadliest school attacks in its history near the city of Peshawar, where more than 150 people died, mostly children.
He reaffirms that attacks against students, teachers or schools can never be justified. The right to education for all must be firmly protected. Schools and educational facilities must be respected as safe and secure spaces.
The Secretary-General calls for proportionate and necessary measures to be taken to ensure that schools in areas of insecurity and conflict are adequately protected.
The Secretary-General extends his heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and to the Government and people of Pakistan.

The present invention is directed to a roller switch. Specifically, the invention is directed to a roller switch for sensing the leading edge of a material on a conveyor belt, which triggers a sensor to determine the length of the material on the conveyor belt.
In tire manufacturing, stock material of various types is applied to a building drum. The stock materials are cut to a required length. The cutting of the stock material occurs either at the building drum, or prior to arriving at the building drum. If the stock material is cut at the building drum, the strip length is determined by the tire builder or by a sensor. If the stock material is to be cut automatically, to reduce waste, the length of the stock must be accurately measured.
One method of measuring stock material is the roller switch illustrated in FIG 4. The roller switch, mounted along the side of a conveyor belt carrying the stock material, has a mounting bracket 102, a sensor bracket 104, a roller 106, and a flag arm 108. The roller 106, which extends only a partial distance across the conveyor, is related to the flag arm 108 and the related roller 106 and arm 108 pivot about a shaft 110. The flag arm 108 is formed of a lightweight material and is spring biased to maintain its position when the switch is not in operation. The side 112 of the flag arm 108 that is adjacent to a photoeye mounted within the sensor bracket 104 is covered in a reflective tape.
At the illustrated rest, or non-sensing, position, the flag arm 108 is not directly adjacent to the photoeye. When material travels under the roller 106, the roller 106 is pushed up, and due to the connection between the roller 106 and the flag arm 108, the flag arm 108 moves and the side of the arm 112 covered in reflective tape is then positioned adjacent to the photoeye. Due to the reflective taping on the flag arm 112, light is directed back to the photoeye and a sensor is triggered to indicate that material is now traveling under the roller 106 and measurement of the length of the material is taken.
While this roller switch has been sufficient, it has not proven to be reliable for extended periods of time due to the following problems. The photoeye is triggered by reflective tape; however, the tape can quickly become dirty and thus unreliable, requiring down time to clean the switch. The unit is also susceptible to being knocked out of adjustment. This can occur if the material traveling on the conveyor gets bunched up or is too thick and hits the roller 106. Additionally, if the thickness of the material is too great, the flag arm 112 may travel past the photoeye, providing an incorrect indication. Also, the switch is easily knock out of adjustment during the removal of stock. Stock is frequently removed from the conveyor for a variety of reasons.
The present invention is designed to overcome the limitations of the known mechanism. The roller switch is more robust than the known conventional roller switches.
The disclosed roller switch has a roller, a flag arm, and a photoelectric detector. The roller is connected to the flag arm and vertical movement of the roller causes the flag arm to move. The movement of the flag arm causes the photoelectric detector to send a signal. The signal may be used to measure the length of a material passing under the roller. The inventive roller switch has a pair of flag arms, and the roller is mounted on a shaft extending between the pair of flag arms. By providing a pair of flag arms connected by the roller, the roller switch is more robust and durable.
In one aspect of the invention, to further increase the robust character of the roller switch, a tube extending between the flag arms is located adjacent to the roller. When material passes under the roller switch, the material must first pass under the tube.
In another aspect of the invention, the vertical movement of the roller cause the upper end of the flag arm to unblock the photoelectric detector.
In another aspect of the roller switch, the roller switch is capable of pivoting about one end when mounted onto a support structure. Pivoting of the entire unit allows for easier servicing of the roller switch and makes it easier to remove any material from beneath the roller switch.
In another aspect of the roller switch, each flag arm is attached to an end plate. The first end plate is attached to pivoting means and the second end plate is attached to locking tube into which a locking pin is inserted. The roller switch pivots about the first end plate when the locking pin is removed from the tube.
Also disclosed is a method of measuring the length of a finite length strip material. The method includes the steps of placing the material on a moving conveyor belt, passing the material under a roller, causing the roller to vertically move, pivoting a flag arm in response to the movement of the roller, generating a signal in response to the movement of the flag arm, and measuring the length of the material. In the inventive method disclosed, the material passed under a tube prior to passing under the roller and the flag arm pivots about a shaft extending through the tube.
The invention will be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the roller switch;
FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of the roller assembly;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the roller switch from a different view; and
FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view of a prior art switch.
FIG. 1 illustrates the roller switch 2 of the present invention. The roller switch 2 is mounted on railings 4 astride a conveyor belt 6. The roller switch 2 has a roller assembly 8, a photoelectric switch 10, and a pivot assembly 12. The roller assembly 8 extends between two end plates 14 mounted on support plates 16. The support plates 16 are secured to angle brackets 18 that are attached to the railings 4. Extending between the end plates 14 is a support beam 20.
The roller assembly 8 has a roller 22, a protective tube 24, and side flag arms 26. The roller assembly 8 pivots on a pivot shaft 28 that extends through the protective tube 24. The roller 22 is mounted in a rotatable manner on a roller shaft 30. The roller shaft 30 and the protective tube 24 are secured to the side flag arms 26. The protective tube 24 may extend beyond the flag arms 26. The pivot shaft 28 extends beyond the flag arms 26 and attaches to the end plates 14 to permit the roller assembly 8 to pivot.
As seen in FIG. 2, each flag arm 26 has a horizontal leg 32 and a vertical leg 34. The roller shaft 30 and the protective tube 24 are secured at one end of the horizontal leg 32. Midway along the horizontal leg 32 is an adjustable spring 36 to tension and maintain the position of the roller assembly 8. The vertical leg 34 extends at approximately ninety degrees from the horizontal leg 32. Along both legs 32, 34, cut outs 38 reduce the weight of the arms 26. The size and configuration of the cut outs 38 are selected to reduce the weight while maintaining the structural integrity of the arms 26. Whatever the placement of the cut outs 38, the uppermost end 35 of the vertical leg 34 remains solid.
Mounted on one end of the support beam 20 is a photoeye bracket 40, see FIG. 3. A photoeye emitter 42 is mounted within in one leg 44 of the bracket 40 and a corresponding receiver is mounted within the opposing leg 44. The photoeye bracket 40 is positioned so the vertical leg 34 of the flag arm 26 is midway between the bracket legs 44. The photoeye bracket 40 may be mounted at either end of the beam 20.
Stock travels on the conveyor belt 6 in the direction shown by the arrow D. The stock passes under the protective tube 24, and then contacts the roller 22. If the stock is not moving smoothly along on the conveyor belt 6, but is instead bundled up or traveling as a mass instead of a sheet, the stock will hit the protective tube 24 first, instead of the roller 22.
As the stock passed under the roller 22, the roller 22 is vertically raised, causing the roller assembly 8 to pivot about the pivot shaft 28. As the one end of the horizontal leg 32 is raised, the other end of the leg 32 is lower, pulling the vertical leg 34 of the flag arm 26 down and the uppermost end 35 of the vertical leg 34 out of alignment with the photoeye 42. Thus, when there is no stock passing under the roller 22, the photoeye 42 is blocked, and when there is stock passing under the roller 22, the photoeye 42 is not blocked. Because the vertical leg 34 of the flag arm 26 is pulled down due to the pivoting motion of the roller assembly 8, regardless of the thickness of the stock passing under the roller 22, the flag arm 26 will not inadvertently block the photoeye 42, sending an incorrect signal. When the photoeye 42 is tripped by the movement of the flag arm 26, a signal is sent to a measuring device (not illustrated), and measurement of the length of the material moving along the conveyor belt 6 begins.
The roller assembly 8 is adjusted and tensioned so that when there is no stock on the conveyor belt 6 passing under the roller 22, the roller 22 is spaced above the surface of the conveyor belt 6. The spacing between the roller 22 and the surface of the conveyor belt 6 is selected to be less than the thickness of the stock, including any thickness tolerances, that will travel under the roller 22. The spacing must also be sufficient to permit the end 35 of the vertical leg 34 of the flag arm 26 to move out of alignment with the photoeye 42 when stock passes under the roller 22. For a stock thickness of 2 to 3 mm, a preferred spacing between the roller 22 and the surface of the conveyor belt 6 is about 0.5 mm.
The roller 22 is illustrated as having a length of about one half the length of the roller shaft 30. However, the roller 22 may have any length equal or less than the roller shaft 30. The roller 22 may also be mounted on the other end of the roller shaft 30 than that which is illustrated, or may be mounted in a central position on the shaft. The primary requirement for the roller position is that the roller 22 be in a location that permits the leading edge of the stock to contact the roller 22.
The pivot assembly 12 permits the roller switch 2 to be swung to one side of the conveyor belt 6. On the pivoting side of the roller switch 2, the end plate 14 is attached to a support sleeve 46. Inside the sleeve 46 is a bearing sleeve 48 about which the support sleeve 46 rotates.
On the locking side of the switch 2, a vertical sleeve 50 is attached to the other end plate 14. Extending upwardly from the associated support plate 16 is a sleeve 52. When the support plate sleeve 52 is aligned with the vertical sleeve 50, a ball locking pin 54 is inserted therein to prevent movement of the roller switch 2.
Located adjacent to the sleeves 50, 52 is a raising pin 56. The pin 56 is inserted into a hole 57 within the end plate 14 and extends through the other side of the plate 14. The pin 56 extends out from the end plate 14 at a height less than the height of the support plate sleeve 52. During normal operation of the roller switch 2, the pin 56 is inserted into the end plate 14 to a depth such that the pin 56 does not interfere with the arm 26, see also FIG. 2. When the roller switch 2 is to be pivoted, the roller 22 is manually raised, and the pin 56 is pushed further in. The pin 56 is pushed in to a depth so that the pin is under the horizontal arm 32 and the arm 32 rests on the pin 56, thus moving the roller 22 out of the way during pivoting and any maintenance of the switch 2. Also, the depth should be such that the end of the pin 56 will pass by the sleeve 52 when the roller switch 2 is pivoted. Should the pin 54 not be pushed in, as the roller switch 2 begins to swing, the pin 56 will contact the support plate sleeve 52, stopping movement of the roller switch 2.
The selection of which side of the roller switch 2 is the locking side and which is the pivoting side is arbitrary and is best determined by ease of operation. The roller switch 2 may be pivoted to one side of the conveyor belt 6 for various reasons such as removal of stock from the conveyor belt 6, adjusting the tension of the roller assembly 8, or routine maintenance of the switch 2.
By providing the roller switch 2 with support at both ends, as opposed to the cantilever design of the conventional roller switch 100, the switch 2 is more robust and less susceptible to damage. Furthermore, by extending the roller shaft 30 across the full width of the conveyor belt 6, the length and the position of the sensing roller 22 may be readily altered for any material width or configuration of material carried on the conveyor belt 6, such as material with a taped leading edge or adjacent lengths of material.
Also, by reversing the conventional method of tripping the photoeye 42, greater accuracy and less false trips in the detection of material beneath the roller switch 2 is achieved.

The Humanitarian Aid Crisis
For all his bluster, Bush has spent less than $1 million on humanitarian aid for the people being bombarded in Iraq. In fact, the administration has gone out of its way to delay or outright block aid groups from getting into Iraq. And it has pointedly banned American specialists (like doctors and technicians) from going in.
Instead of allowing these experienced groups to get to work, Bush insists they must go through the military, which in turn, won't tell them its plans because they are classified. "We've been asking for more than six months for access," Sandra Mitchell, vice president of government relations at the International Rescue Committee, told the Voice. Added to the military secrecy is the continuing red tape by U.S. agencies administering export laws that ban anything with a "dual purpose."
"It's a lot of red tape, licenses, and review processes," Mitchell said. "There's no way you can coordinate a fast-moving humanitarian response with those kinds of limitations in place." By contrast, the group quickly negotiated the red tape to get into Kashmir over the summer. She said the group has had "high-level discussions" with the Pentagon, the National Security Council, the State Department, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (the U.S. Treasury division that enforces economic and trade sanctions). But she adds, "We weren't successful. Their response was to point the finger at each other. It was just passing it on, passing it on."
The small amounts of money made available by the U.S. government barely cover logistical costs, said Mitchell, adding, "There's no way there's any funding left to buy resources, shelter, food, medicine, water, sanitation equipment, or emergency equipment; $900,000 doesn't get you very far when you're trying to set up an operation."
Rudy von Bernuth, a vice president at Save the Children U.S.A., said the group has received a small planning grant, allowing it to set up a small headquarters in Jordan. But the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control won't approve licenses to allow skilled U.S. citizens to enter the area.

Family gains precious moments through life-saving efforts by Fla. cops
"It's satisfying knowing we gave this family an opportunity to say goodbye to their loved one," Sgt. John Negron
By Richard Dymond
The Bradenton Herald
BRADENTON, Fla. — She was 95, had no pulse, was in full cardiac arrest and not breathing.
But Bradenton Police Department Sgt. John Negron said he saw all-out effort to save Jennie Sanders when he arrived at the residence in the 1200 block of Tidewater Court in Bradenton at 3:48 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 26, including officer Jeremy Telles frantically doing chest compressions.
"Mrs. Sanders was on the bedroom floor and Jeremy was doing chest compressions while Mrs. Sanders' son-in-law was giving her breaths," Negron said. "Jeremy had been there five minutes before I got there and I yelled, 'Let me swap out.' " He said, 'OK.' Then I did chest compressions."
Their efforts over the next 20 minutes managed to revive the woman. For their heroics, Negron and Telles were named Bradenton Police Department Officers of the Month for March, said Bradenton Police Chief Michael Radzilowski.
The rescue was unusual considering the age of the victim and the length of time it took to revive her, officers said.
After 10 more minutes of chest-to-chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, the rescuers still could not find a pulse, Negron said.
"She was completely gone. There was no pulse so we asked the family if there was a 'Do not resuscitate' order," Negron said. "They said, 'Just do what you can do.'"
Emergency medical services workers from the Bradenton Fire Department arrived and injected the patient with fluids, while Negron and Telles kept working in tandem on chest compressions.
Five minutes later, there were still no signs of life, Negron said, and he was reminded of his wife, Violette's father, Frederick Schneider, who died in his recliner in Spring Hill in October, leaving Violette no chance to say goodbye.
Suddenly, miraculously, the team got a small pulse and Sanders began breathing on her own, albeit shallowly, Negron said.
"I think because we started so quickly and worked so steadily, there was oxygen still circulating even though we couldn't get a pulse," Negron said.
Sanders was stabilized and taken to Manatee Memorial Hospital. The family was elated, Radzilowski said.
"Remarkably, she came back to life," Radzilowski said.
The revival was short-lived. Sanders died a day later, but the family told the Bradenton Police Department the extra day allowed them to say goodbye.
"The family was very grateful for the officer's actions because it allowed them the opportunity to properly pay their respects during the interim," Radzilowski said.
Negron said he was deeply moved by the experience of bringing a person back to life.
"It's satisfying knowing we gave this family an opportunity to say goodbye to their loved one," Negron said.
