University of British Columbia Reports (Vancouver, B.C., Canada) has an interesting article this month about the use of a new ground penetrating radar device last summer in an archaeological field school pilot project to detect 'lost' burials in local First Nations cemeteries. This device can 'see' 5 metres down, allows for non-destructive surveys, and is ideal for use in urban spaces. Already new temporary burial markers have been erected at the Kwantlen First Nation cemetery in Maple Ridge, British Columbia.

Dream of the stars... by HailleyPeteWatch

I don't know why I keep drawing Doctor Who characters sleeping. I felt like drawing this one day, so I did. The composition isn't great (the balance is all off), but it was fun. I feel like the different sort of love I have for each of them really came out here. Eleven's unicorn is mainly because of this picture: media-cache-cd0.pinimg.com/736… It just felt right c: Also I don't know why I made the background obnoxious yellow.
I still wish we could have had the three of them together. Although this is probably NOT what would have happened.

text: In a St. Joseph Health Scene Report, there's new reason this morning to make sure your doctor is still working. A new survey shows nearly half of primary care physicians in the U.S. feel overworked and plan to either cut back on patients or quit medicine entirely. In addition, a majority would not recommend medicine as a career.

NEW YORK (August 27, 2013)--Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the country's biggest private employer, said Tuesday it now will extend its health care benefits to the domestic partners of its workers, including those of the same sex.
Wal-Mart said the changes were made so it could have one uniform policy for all 50 states at a time when some states have their own definitions of what constitutes domestic partnerships and civil unions.
The Bentonville, Ark.-based discounter has 1.3 million full-time and part-time U.S. workers and more than half participate in health care plans, the company says.
Employees can enroll their domestic partners from Oct. 12 through Nov. 1.
The changes were announced to Wal-Mart workers in a postcard sent to them on Monday

I've only recently heard of SCORM and i've been asked to put together a simple e-learning module which can be deployed as a SCORM module. The module is a questionnaire with an additional bank of information (possibly laid out wiki-style). I've just looked at some of the open source tools eXe and xerte and both look quite good.
What I'm not sure about is the limitations of using these tools. I want to be able to fully style all aspects of the template and add javascript tooltips etc, and possibly use ajax to load in each section of the quiz. However, I guess if i'm using ajax, then i'm using server side code, which then limits the module to a specific platform.
Are these things possible using one of these authoring systems? I'm trying to get my head round the possible restrictions. How do these tools handle data storage such as quiz scores per user?
Grateful for any advice!

Five teams prepare for bowling finals
Five teams will represent Union County on Friday for the bowling state championships in Jackson. After regionals two weeks ago, the teams have prepared for the final match of the season, and each has its eye on bringing another state championship to the county.
East Union enters as the top seed for both the boys and girls, and for the teams, practice was as usual in preparation for state.
"I try to keep it low key, because you don't want them to be too nervous," East Union coach Brad Browning said. "We have five teams from the county going, and that's great. As far as practicing, we've been concentrating on not leaving any pins. We're not professionals, so we're not going to get a strike every time, but work on getting a spare. The teams that can do that are the successful ones."
Browning has several on both sides he will look to for leadership, including a group of seniors on the boys' side.
"The boys, I have about eight boys that I can put in a sack, shake them up and put any five of them out there," he said.
"I have four seniors that have been with me for quite awhile now. Josh Steele is probably my best bowler, and he has tournament experience, and he already has one championship ring. He's been there and know how it works. Bailey Spruill is a sophomore, and this is his third year to start. He's very steady and doesn't let anything get to him, and you have to have someone like that on your team."
Browning mentioned Stephanie Hardy and Laken Hughes specifically on the girls' side, and emphasized keeping the nerves down on his team, as the excitement of the championships has built throughout the week.
"I've had teams before that got so excited about that, and they wore themselves out before we competed," he said.
West Union also has both boys and girls teams competing, and for the Eagles, they hope to overcome a close finish against East Union. The Eagles led at regionals heading into the bakers format, eventually taking second to the Urchins.
"We're not trying to change anything that we're doing, because what we've been doing is working," West Union coach Barbara White said.
The Lady Eagles enter as a wild card selection, and both teams hope to redeem themselves after finishing outside of the top two for the first time last season.
"On our girls, I have two that I really need to count on, Callie Baggett and Lauren Brewer. Those are the two I'm hoping who can come through for us," White explained.
"As far as the boys, we never know who will step up. We have Kurt Stevens, Ryan Hearn and we have a new bowler, Austin Harris, who has done a really good job for us. Also, we have Chandler Baggett returning after breaking his foot earlier this season.
West Union practiced on Tuesday, working with the newest county program at New Albany. The Bulldogs will make its inaugural appearance at state, and are confident they can make an impact in the finals.
"We're doing good right now," New Albany coach Wayne Dye said. "We're out here right now, just bowling and practicing when they want to. They're excited about going, and they'll be nervous since it's our first time."
While there are several talented bowlers on his team, Dye said that no one in particular stands out, and that he needs all of them to pick up spares in order for the Bulldogs to be successful.
"All of them have to pick up spares. That was our weakness at regionals," he explained. "They're all about equal, and no one bowler sticks out above the rest. We just need to pick up spares."
The state championships begin at 9 a.m. on Friday at Paradise Lanes in Jackson.

Gideon's Sword (original 2011; edition 2011)
by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
Work details
Gideon's Sword by Douglas Preston (2011)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
First in the new Preston/Child series Gideon Crew, a man not afraid to take action against those who destroy others or hurt America. A man who can think on his feet and feels passionately about others. He was sent to locate a scientist bringing in a new weapon "that would change the world" from China. Suspense, mystery and a sprinkling of romance blended with action and adventure. The story just pulled me in. I will be reading more of this series in the future.
In Gideon's Sword authors Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child are taking a huge risk by introducing a new character, Gideon Crew, and a new series. This is risky because fans of their wildly popular Pendergast novels aren't likely to warm up to a new character competing for Preston and Child's attention. While I include myself in their fan base, writing both together and separately, I'm willing to give this interloper named Gideon Crew a chance.
From the synopsis, I thought the story would revolve around Gideon finding the man responsible for his father's death and getting revenge, but actually that is only a very small part of the novel right at the beginning. After that Gideon is recruited by a secret agency to do a little job for them: find a way to get the plans for a secret weapon from a Chinese scientist. The first storyline not only introduces us to Gideon Crew and gives a little back story, it also shows us Gideon's thought processes and how he operates. The second storyline is much more involved and has several narrow escapes and twists and turns before it is resolved.
Since it is a Preston and Child book, need I mention that it is well written? The story is fast paced and flows smoothly. While, admittedly, I felt that the story seemed somewhat less intense and intriguing, and felt shorter than I would normally expect from Preston and Child, I rather liked Gideon as a lead character and want to see what he does next.
Many of the reviews for Gideon's Sword written by fans have tended to be negative. Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child have had ten books to develop their Aloysius Pendergast character. This is our very first introduction to Gideon Crew. I fully expect the next Gideon Crew novel to dial up the tension and suspense.
Also, apparently the movie rights to Gideon's Sword have been purchased.
To rate this novel is problematic. It is not their strongest work, so compared to other novels they have written, it falls a little short. On the other hand, if I evaluate it simply as a stand alone novel not in comparison with anything else, well, I really liked it very much and would highly recommend it. http://shetreadssoftly.blogspot.com/
Fast read - character development was not as good as their other books. Hopefully this will improve as the series develops.
Gideon Crew witnessed his father die as a setup by a member of the government. Now he has vowed to bring the people responsible down. Through this task Gideon becomes associated with a shadow group who wnats him to get some plans for a secret weapon off a Chinese scientist. A good thriller that keeps you guessing most of the time. I hope the authors turn this into a series.

*Note: some EoE spoilers may be contained below. Although at this point, it's pretty much your own fault if you haven't seen it yet.*
Manga, why do you even bother?
In all these years of operation, have you forgotten that some publications may not, gasp, LIKE some of your product?
And further than that, why argue with them? Some people will find the Eva movies to be a very symbolic cornucopia of stunning imagery. Others will see it as a wierd film with too much violence and creepy little naked girls who decompose. As wrong as it may sound to some people, it happens. I could yammer on and on about how great I think David Lynch's Eraserhead is to somebody who thinks it's just some stupid wierd movie with irritating noises and a creepy dragon fetus. But I wouldn't really get anywhere.
While on the David Lynch motif, his films are constantly slammed by critics and the public. If I remember correctly, Lost Highway had the phrase "Two Thumbs Down!" proudly displayed on some of it's advertising. His interpretation of Dune will be forever reviled by adamant sci-fi dorks who shout rape whenever a book is not translated into film word-by-word.
And another thing: why didn't you guys at Manga go out of your way to scrutinize some of the other film critics who were quite vocal of their distaste for Ghost in the Shell some 6 years ago? I remember a particular review, I believe it was located on the now-defunct Film.com, that essentially called GitS an artless wasteland, and the most overhyped and bitterly awful film of the year. He had the standard complaints: the mouth movements don't match up, the animation is not Disney-fluid, too much nudity, etc. To us, his reasonings for disliking the film are absurd.
Thus, my Manga friends, you are relegated to the status of us lowly internet forum posters. Quick to anger and quicker to respond. At least in these forums, most of us are not deluded into thinking our opinions hold a special kind of validity.
In short, I'd bet Hideki Anno would be real embarrassed.

I tend to think that Manga had a reasonable point to their complaint; Eva wasn't judged as it is presented.
The reviewer obviously didn't research the film, so they didn't know how it is pieced together. Nor is there any attempt to delve deeper into the film, as it is extended thinking.
I'm not a big fan of Evangelion, but it doesn't take a brain surgeon to realize that it has a TON more going on than "kids in mecha". If they really wanted to give an accurate review, they could've just said that Eva is possibly the biggest mindf**k ever animated.

So here's a question, Do you think this guy would say the same things if he was rating the ADV release of the TV series and do you think ADV would have printed it in NewType? I somehow doubt it.

All I can really add to this thread are three realizations that struck me while reading Mr. Gleicher's open letter:
#1 - Precisely what LordByronius has already said: "Thus, my Manga friends, you are relegated to the status of us lowly internet forum posters. Quick to anger and quicker to respond."
EoE has gotten dozens of extremely positive reviews from various websites, entertainment magazines, anime publications, and newspapers. They get one negative review from a new major publication, and their CEO is crying like a spoiled brat.
Perhaps he's become to accustomed to hearing that Evangelion is the best anime ever. He needs to learn that different people have different tastes, that everyone won't always agree with him, and that he can't be the Thought Police and force people to agree with him by sending dissenting opinions to them.
I can commisserate with Newtype's reviewer. EVA has never excited me. I think the story is too fantastical for the philosophical points it tries to make, and I think that it is incredibly overrated. Its philosophy is very neat, but the way they chose to embody it is highly impractical and unnecessarily confusing.
I think he really has no business commenting at all. From the perspective of a non-EVA fanatic, it now seems like he is trying to force his product down everyone throats; like those of us who don't sing the praises of his product are radicals. He seriously needs to learn to respect other people's opinions.
#2 - Mr. Gleicher is every bit as judgemental as he proclaims Newtype to be:
On the page opposite the Evangelion reviews, Newtype gives a thumbs up to the new domestic Utena TV series DVDs; and there are positive reviews of numerous other non-ADV products throughout the magazine. That in mind, how can he say that ADV is trying to promote their products by dismissing others? The reviews that I have read so far are generally positive. Reflecting on my relatively wide knowledge of internet-published anime reviews, it seems to me that Newtype is trying to offer anime fans guidance in their purchases as genuine as anyone else's.
If you ask me, to discredit NewType's review as an attempt to malign Manga Entertainment's products is to completely ignore the tastes and experience of the reviewer. It's clear that in Mr. Gleicher's "letter", he hasn't made the slightest effort to interpret or reflect upon anything he's read, but has merely given us his most niggling and reactionary protest of NewType's review.
#3 - People can launch flame war on you even if you don't write reviews for a website.
Just imagine, ANN Reviewers: One day you could move on to write for a big anime publication, and then your e-mail boxes will be flooded with complaints from people like Mr. Gleicher instead of faceless otaku named ChichiriXMiaka343.

|I think that New Type, even if the reviewer did not like Eva, should have given better reasons then the ones listed, the reviewer was being pathetic, and did not reasearch the movie what so ever. I don't mind it when people slam anime movies/shows, but ignorance is discusting. I thought that Eva was confusing at first, and weird, but i still give credit to the creators for one screwed up ending, which makes sence after i watched the commentary.

Evangelion is my total favorite anime of all time, but all my friends hate it. They believe that it's far too sophisticated and confusing to be enjoyed. What kind of stupid reason is that? They all enjoy the senseless violence-like series, for example, Fist of the North Star, which I can't stand. Now, as you're reading this, some of you are saying "I hear ya, buddy!" while the rest of you are probably like "How can you hate Fist of the North Star??? It's so bloody and cool!!!"
We all have different tastes in anime, and we all react to others' criticism in different ways. I believe that's another reason which makes anime so interesting: it's fans have such diverse tastes, because anime is made up of such diverse types of series.
For this reason, I believe that the Newtype review was not wrong in any way. For all we know, the person who wrote it simply doesn't like Evangelion, for any reason I listed or any other. However, I also believe that Manga is being quite childish on the whole matter. You guys said that they're being stupid to go crazy over this one bad review. I agree. Both EVA movies got great reviews, and they were both at the top of the HMV Sales Charts (among those of other fine entertainment stores). I love Evangelion, but I don't like Manga's release of the two DVDs. I believe that I waited too long for something that I didn't get enough of. And while the original voice actors present in the movies did some of the greatest jobs I've ever witnessed in any animated feature, I believe the replacement cast was horrible. Fuyutski's voice was dull and plain, and Hyuga's voice actor did not even come close to capturing the "nerdy-ness" of the character. I'd list other reasons for which I was dissapointed from the releases, but that might take a while to explain.
In short, we all feel differently on many animes. I think Newtype may have angered some with their review, and that Manga is wrong for reacting the way they did, and that by all means shouldn't have called us, the purchasers of the Newtype magazine, "sucka's", just because we bought something which criticizes a product of theirs.
Thanks for your time, I know that was a doozy.

Manga has a right to be angry. What was written in Newtype can't even be called a review. The review should list the good and bad qualities, a basic premise, a brief look at director's intent and finally an INFORMED opinion.
What Newtype printed was only an opinion from someone who was just haneded a disk and told to "watch." I'd be embarrased to put that "review" on a fansite much more commercial wannabe mainstream publication. I'm not saying the Eva dvd's were perfect (crappy extras, technical problems, etc.) but they didn't even get the time of day from Newtype.
However, if I were Manga, I wouldn't have put my two cents public because Newtype is a pointless rag much like Wizard. I bet if Manga pays thousands of dollars for advertising they'd get a killer review real quick.

The mere fact that Manga entertainment has created such a quick and close minded rebuttle with their hundred dollar words is very unprofessional and can be viewed upon as drastic. It's no secret that both of the Evangelion movies from a publishing standpoint (storyline aside for the moment) have their faults, noticeable faults. In short Manga screwed up, not once but twice. Manga's obvious lack of effort to create the kind of DVD releases that these titles deserved has peeved fans to say the least. To further the problems with the DVD's, Newtype has bashed them both with bad reviews. Not necessarilly well thought out reviews, but journalistic nonetheless. It is in the opinion of this writer, and it is just that: an opinion, that Manga hurriedly wrote up a response/harrassment because they were worried about the amount of people that will be viewing the article as Newtype is a fresh and sure to be popular publication in the U.S.
In my opinion, Evangelion (in all it's forms; TV, movies) is 100% overrated garbage. That doesn't necessarily mean that I am right. In fact, I would be hard pressed to find somebody that agrees with me. However, that is my opinion, and I can state it whenever and wherever I like. I could even write it in a magazine if I were employed by one. I am not concerned with what other people think about my opinion because they have no bearing on it.
It will be a sad day when somebody is reprimanded for stating an opinion. It is my sincere hope that Newtype will not even respond to something as foolish as Manga's letter of rebut.
On a side note, I would like to say hello to everyone out there. I am new to these forums but certainly not new to the site. 8)

Actually Minion, I too believe that Shin Seiki Evangelion is far over-hyped, but I do not dismiss it at garbage. I do however think that fans made it bigger than it is, and much of the rumors and analysis gotten way out of hand in the past. I think with anime such as Evangelion you need to listen more to the creator's thoughts (which are very surprising to most fans, let me tell you) and less of what other people think.
In any case, Manga Entertainment took what was not even a review (it was in a section entitled "News & Newtype" which I believe is for commentary only, not actual reviews) and blew it way out of proportion. I can understand Manga's distress, as it most likely cost them a large sum of money to license End of Evangelion, so any bad press would drive down sales and possibly not even make a return profit for Manga. Still, even if the End of Evangelion column was a review, you could consider it an "anti-review," ala Mr. Cranky. Mr. Cranky hates ALL movies, regardless of content. An anti-review takes minor issues in a film and blows them up and makes them seem like major plot points. The idea to to show only the film's shortcomings, and of course, it's for humour purposes only. I believe the writer of that column was going for that sort of style. Not that it was a review in the first place, but if it was, it wasn't to be taken seriously.
Newtype will not respond to Manga's letter. They, as we do, realize it was probably a mistake for Manga Entertainent to release the letter at all, and therefore I'm sure this is being discussed privately between the two companies. After all, Newtype wants Manga's advertising as much as Manga wants to be seen in what might end up as a widely-read publication for anime fans.

Before I begin, I must admit I have not read the actual article, though I wish I could. I am going off of what Manga said and the actual quotes they used, which does admittededly give me a biased starting point. However, it doesnt appear to me that many here have read the actual article either(I may be wrong) so I'll add thoughts.
Now, I think most people are missing the point of Manga's response to NewType. The point Manga was trying to make was not that they were upset because of a negative review, but that the review was poorly written with little or no apparent research or intelligent commentary.
The review should have said they didn't like it, but in more intelligent terms such as "This is what happened, here's why, and here's why I didn't like it" rather than a very simplified and negatively-toned description of the events. The author of the review also goes on to claim that Manga is to blame for the repeat in content between the two movies(I've heard both sides of this argument) and the letter from Manga replies that that is incorrect and reflects a lack of research.
Manga is not saying they are mad because someone wrote a bad review of Eva. Manga is not writing because someone remarked on the poor quality of their DVDs (something I would agree with). Manga is saying that the letter is unthoughtful, poorly written, and poorly researched and therefore should not have been published as it reflects badly on the author and NewType.
Manga may have made too big of a deal out of this or maybe we made too big of a deal out of the letter, I'm not commenting on that. I'm just saying that I agree with them on the issue addressed in their letter. That from what I have seen, the review is poorly written, regardless of the opinion. If someone had written a review that said "Evangelion is God because its super-duper and you all suck for not liking it", I would have felt equally about the quality of the review. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but they should state it in a thoughtful, respectful manner if they expect others to give thought and respect to the review and the author.
Whats with the Wizard bashing, by the way?

The judicial role in child custody and visitation disputes has traditionally been understood as one of authoritative decision-making. However this new empirical research suggests that many family court judges prioritize the pursuit of voluntary settlement in pre-trial conferences, using evaluative and facilitative mediation techniques. Drawing on qualitative interviews with judges and other family law professionals in Toronto and New York City, this article identifies points of consensus and controversy among settlement-seeking family judges. Despite the general support for settlement-seeking, there are substantial differences of opinion regarding coercion, due process, and the meaning of the best interests of the child standard.

Track List
Album Reviews:
Q (2/96, p.104) - 3 Stars - Good - "...a lively small group session from 1962...a mellower, sweeter-toned Hawkins than usual..."
Album Notes
Personnel: Duke Ellington (piano); Coleman Hawkins (tenor saxophone); Johnny Hodges (alto saxophone); Harry Carney (baritone saxophone, bass clarinet); Ray Nance (cornet, violin); Lawrence Brown (trombone); Aaron Bell (bass); Sam Woodyard (drums).
Reissue producer: Michael Cuscuna.
Recorded at the Rudy Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on August 18, 1962. Includes liner notes by Stanley Dance and Michael Cuscuna.
Digitally remastered by Erick Labson (MCA Music).
All songs written or co-written by Duke Ellington.
Personnel: Coleman Hawkins (tenor saxophone).
Recording information: VanGelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, NJ.
Surprisingly, this Impulse album is the only recorded meeting between these two swing giants. Born just five years apart, Ellington and Hawkins led parallel lives through the swing era, but somehow never ended up in a recording studio together until this 1962 session. The pairing is certainly a good one that should have been repeated more often. Hawkins' famously robust tenor sax fits in seamlessly with Ellington and a small group of his top sidemen including Johnny Hodges, Harry Carney, and Ray Nance. These old pros work smoothly through a relaxed set of new and old Ellington compositions.

LODI — The Lodi Chamber of Commerce this week endorsed Russ Munson in his bid for the open District 4 seat on the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors.
Munson's campaign announced the endorsement. He is running for the seat left by the terming out Ken Vogel. He is running against former County Administrator Manuel Lopez and Ripon Mayor Chuck Winn for the seat.
No stranger to the chamber, Munson owns Wine & Roses restaurant and resort in Lodi, and is a past chairman of the chambers board of directors.
"Our Board was impressed with his short, straight-ahead answers that were filled with common-sense solutions that come from years of experience in all kinds of businesses dealing with county government," Patrick said in the statement.

The future of an alpine hut on Aoraki/Mt Cook extensively
damaged in a rock avalanche last month will not be known
until summer.
The Department of Conservation has temporarily closed its
37-year-old Gardiner Hut, until a detailed, on-site
engineering report can be carried out to accurately assess
the level of damage caused by a rockfall from the south face
of Mt Cook about July 14.
Doc media adviser Lizzy Sutcliffe said the assessment could
not take place until the summer months when the snow had
melted away from the sides of the hut so the entire structure
could be viewed and the foundations inspected.
The GNS Science assessment report from aerial inspection and
supplied photographs said Gardiner Hut was partially buried,
possibly moved on its foundations and deformed because of
burial weight and projectile rock damage.
The hut's toilet has been destroyed and cables installed on
nearby Pudding Rock to aid access to the hut may also have
been destroyed or damaged beyond repair.
''As for whether the damage to the hut is terminal requiring
replacement will depend on the type of damage inflicted and
the cost for repairs,'' Miss Sutcliffe said.
Climbers were advised to keep out of the Noeline Glacier
region of the upper Hooker Valley area while the avalanche
area stabilised, as there would be a period of heightened
The situation would remain unchanged until at least late
summer-early autumn 2015 and could worsen. firstname.lastname@example.com

We earlier mapped inequality of the US states. Now I show the geography of inequality for metropolitan areas over 1,000,000. These measures of inequality are gini coefficients, calculated by the US Census Bureau for 2005-2009. These indicate how amazingly severe inequality, or the concentration of income and wealth at the top, has become. The gini is a measure of the departure of a curve of accumulated income, ranking from the poorest to the richest. read more »

Book Review: 'The End of the Suburbs,' by Leigh Gallagher
Suburbia has been a favorite whipping boy of urbane intellectuals, who have foretold its decline for decades. Leigh Gallagher's "The End of the Suburbs" is the latest addition to this tired but tireless genre. The book lacks the sparkling prose and original insights one could find in the works of, say, Jane Jacobs or Lewis Mumford. Indeed, Ms. Gallagher's book is little more than a distillation of the conventional wisdom that prevails at Sunday brunch in Manhattan.
The author restages many of the old anti-suburban claims, and her introduction's section headings easily give away the gist of the argument: "Millennials hate the burbs"; "Our households are shrinking"; "We are eco-obsessed"; "The suburbs are poorly designed to begin with"; and so on. read more »

Take These Out To the Ballgame
Baseball annuals can be useful to fantasy leaguers, but many of their factoids are gloriously useless minutiae.
One of the great days in the year, for a certain sort of baseball fan, is the one on which he trundles home with a tall stack of thick books—the annual compilations of statistics and analysis that carry with them the promise of opening day. The baseball annual is no elevated form and might be of dubious utility in an age when up-to-date rosters and numbers are available online. But it can shorten the long wait through early spring, when it seems as if no one will ever again throw an angry fastball. And such volumes, when done well, can be a delight.
The traditional form, established in the 1970s and '80s by Bill James in his pioneering Baseball Abstracts and unimproved upon since, arrays thoughtful essays about obscure aspects of the sport alongside short assess ments of the achievements and quirks of individual players. The accompanying statistical tables, once you learn to read them, can tell stories with admirable economy. Looking up the great Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay in this year's Baseball Prospectus annual, for instance, you see that his walk rate per nine innings has declined two years running even as his strikeout rate has improved. Has Halladay been getting better in his mid-30s, when lesser players fade? He has.
The audience for factoids like this has been boosted over the past few decades by the popularity of fantasy baseball, a statistics-driven pastime that rose simultaneously with James's sabermetric approach but in fact shares little of its ethos of open-ended research. Fantasy fans want pure statistics, not analysis. They have a gambler's mind-set, less interested in the game on the field than its online derivative. They want the inside line.
Baseball Prospectus has for more than a decade produced perhaps the best of the yearly guides. Among those who have written for it are Nate Silver, the baseball writer turned star political analyst, and many researchers, such as Keith Woolner, who went on to work for major-league teams. The current volume uses such credentials to tout the quality of its numbers—the "deadly accurate" player-performance predictions, noted on the cover, are based on a formula of Mr. Silver's invention—but to be honest the numbers aren't notably better than what you can find free on the Web.
What makes this book worthwhile is the thought put into its 30 chapters, one for each major-league club, featuring a lengthy discussion of the team's recent performance as well as capsule write-ups of the major players. This makes the Baseball Prospectus an excellent book to keep by the couch. When your team is playing the Pittsburgh Pirates and it occurs to you that you know nothing about their third baseman, the Prospectus gives you an easy way to find out that Pedro Alvarez likes the inside fastball. The house style flashes an enjoyably nasty wit, too: The defending world champion San Francisco Giants, it is noted, show that "being only marginally better than your competition can be good enough."
Baseball Prospectus 2011
Wiley, 583 pages, $24.95
The Hardball Times Baseball Annual
Acta Sports, 317 pages, $22.95
The Prospectus does trees better than forests, though. For depth of insight the choice is the Hardball Times annual. While it, too, has chapters on every team and fancy (if possibly superfluous) statistics, the emphasis of its various contributors tends to be on discursive writing about the game as it is played. Sean Smith convincingly demonstrates that catchers have a statistically significant effect upon the performance of their pitchers over the course of a season. This is tricky stuff, involving regressing observed performance toward calculated averages, but the results are fascinating. (Yankee fans may be surprised—or outraged—to find that Jorge Posada is about as bad as it gets.) Dave Cameron muses on just how much it is possible to empirically know about how individual defensive performance influences the outcome of games. (Less than you might think: According to Mr. Cameron, a typical fielder will have only one chance every four games to turn a hit into an out or vice versa.) The essay most emblematic of the spirit of this volume, however, is Larry Granillo's magnificently insane project of timing the home-run trots for every dinger hit in the majors during the 2010 season. (David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox, it turns out, had 10 of the 14 slowest.) Essays like this serve no real purpose other than laying out intriguing points about baseball.
In the Hardball Times annual, such obsessive detail comes at the expense of breadth; there is little in the book about the Royals, for example, simply because none of the contributors happen to find the Royals interesting. The Hardball Times annual and the Prospectus guide thus make excellent complements, but neither is entirely satisfying on its own.
In fact, the most indispensable baseball guides these days are being written in the Bill James style by fans of individual teams, such Jim Margalus's authoritative White Sox Outsider or the Amazin' Avenue Annual, a book put together by the staff of the New York Mets blog amazinavenue.com. (I wrote a foreword for last year's edition.) These volumes, proudly amateur in ethos, tell you everything you would and wouldn't want to know about your team. While the editors of this year's Amazin' Avenue Annual have roped in big-name contributors like Sports Illustrated's Joe Posnanski and New York magazine's Will Leitch, the best piece is an interview with the surprisingly thoughtful knuckleball pitcher R.A. Dickey, who proposes that wretched Mets fans like him because "they really sense that I appreciate their plight." Serving those who care more than is wise about their teams, books like this are ideal companions for opening day.

Inversion of Control (or IoC) can be quite confusing when it is first encountered.
- What is it?
- What problems does it solve?
- When is it appropriate and when not?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Inversion of Control (or IoC) can be quite confusing when it is first encountered.
The Inversion of Control (IoC) and Dependency Injection (DI) patterns are all about removing dependencies from your code.
For example, say your application has a text editor component and you want to provide spell checking. Your standard code would look something like this:
What we've done here is create a dependency between the TextEditor and the SpellChecker. In an IoC scenario we would instead do something like this:
Now, the client creating the TextEditor class has the control over which SpellChecker implementation to use. We're injecting the TextEditor with the dependency.
This is just a simple example, there's a good series of articles by Simone Busoli that explains it in greater detail.
Inversion of Control is what you get when your program callbacks, e.g. like a gui program.
For example, in an old school menu, you might have:
thereby controlling the flow of user interaction.
In a GUI program or somesuch, instead we say
So now control is inverted... instead of the computer accepting user input in a fixed order, the user controls the order in which the data is entered, and when the data is saved in the database.
Basically, anything with an event loop, callbacks, or execute triggers falls into this category.
What is Inversion of Control?
If you follow these simple two steps, you have done inversion of control:
There are several techniques possible for each of these steps based on the technology/language you are using for your implementation.
The inversion part of the Inversion of Control (IoC) is the confusing thing; because inversion is the relative term. The best way to understand IoC is to forget about that word!
Before using Inversion of Control you should be well aware of the fact that it has its pros and cons and you should know why you use it if you do so.
Personally I see the strong points of IoC and I really like them but I tend to avoid IoC whenever possible because it turns your software into a collection of classes that no longer constitute a "real" program but just something that needs to be put together by XML configuration or annotation metadata and would fall (and falls) apart without it.
But I think you have to be very careful with it. If you will overuse this pattern, you will make very complicated design and even more complicated code.
Like in this example with TextEditor: if you have only one SpellChecker maybe it is not really necessary to use IoC ? Unless you need to write unit tests or something ...
Anyway: be reasonable. Design pattern are good practices but not Bible to be preached. Do not stick it everywhere.
Inversion of Control is about getting freedom (You get married, you lost freedom and you are being controlled. You divorced, you have just implemented Inversion of Control. That's what we called, "decoupled". Good computer system discourage any very close relationship.) more flexibility (The kitchen in your office only serves clean tap water, that is your only choice when you want to drink. Your boss implemented Inversion of Control by setting up a new coffee machine. Now you get the flexibility of choosing either tap water or coffee.) and less dependency (Your partner has a job, you don't have a job, you financially depend on your partner, so you are controlled. You find a job, you have implemented Inversion of Control. Good computer system encourage in-dependency.)
When you use a desktop computer, you are slaved (or say, controlled). You have to sit before a screen and look at it. Using keyboard to type and using mouse to navigate. And a bad written software can slave you even more. If you replace your desktop with a laptop, then you somewhat inverted control. You can easily take it and move around. So now you can control where you are with your computer, instead of your computer controlling it.
By implementing Inversion of Control, a software/object consumer get more controls/options over the software/objects, instead of being controlled or having less options.
IoC / DI to me is pushing out dependencies to the calling objects. Super simple.
The non-techy answer is being able to swap out an engine in a car right before you turn it on. If everything hooks up right (the interface), you are good.
Inversion of Controls is about separating concerns.
Whitout IoC: You have a laptop computer and you accidentally break the screen. And darn, you find the same brand laptop screen is not anywhere in the market. So you stuck.
With IoC: You have a desktop computer and you accidentally break the screen. You find you can just grap any brand monitor from the market, and it just works well with your desktop.
Desktop successfully implements the IoC in this case. It just accept any type of monitor, while the laptop does not, it has to require a specific screen to get fixed.
For example, task#1 is to create object. Without IOC concept, task#1 is supposed to be done by Programmer.But With IOC concept, task#1 would be done by container.
In short Control gets inverted from Programmer to container. So, it is called as inversion of control.
I found one good example here.
It seems that the most confusing thing about "IoC" the acronym and the name for which it stands is that it's too glamorous of a name - almost a noise name.
Do we really need a name by which to describe the difference between procedural and event driven programming? OK, if we need to, but do we need to pick a brand new "bigger than life" name that confuses more than it solves?
I shall write down my simple understanding of this two terms:
Dependency Injection(DI):
Inversion of Control(IoC) Container:
By implementing Inversion of Control, a software/object consumer get more controls/options over the software/objects, instead of being controlled or having less options.
Inversion of control as a design guideline serves the following purposes:
There is a decoupling of the execution of a certain task from implementation.
Let to say that we make some meeting in some hotel.
Many people, many carafes of water, many plastic cups.
When somebody want to drink, she fill cup, drink and throw cup on the floor.
After hour or something we have a floor covered of plastic cups and water.
Let invert control.
The same meeting in the same place, but instead of plastic cups we have a waiter with one glass cup (Singleton)
and she all of time offers to guests drinking.
When somebody want to drink, she get from waiter glass, drink and return it back to waiter.
Leaving aside the question of the hygienic, last form of drinking process control is much more effective and economic.
And this is exactly what the Spring (another IoC container, for example: Guice) does. Instead of let to application create what it need using new keyword (taking plastic cup), Spring IoC container all of time offer to application the same instance (singleton) of needed object(glass of water).
Think about yourself as organizer of such meeting. You need the way to message to hotel administration that
meeting members will need glass of water but not piece of cake.
Useful links:-
Suppose you are an object. And you go to a restaurant:
Without IoC: you ask for "apple", and you are always served apple when you ask more.
With IoC: You can ask for "fruit". You can get different fruits each time you get served. for example, apple, orange, or water melon.
So, obviously, IoC is preferred when you like the varieties.
I agree with NilObject, but I'd like to add to this:
If you find yourself copying and pasting code around, you're almost always doing something wrong. Codified as the design principle Once and Only Once.
IoC is about inverting the relationship between your code and third-party code (library/framework):
DI (Dependency Injection) is about how the control flows in the application. Traditional desktop application had control flow from your application(main() method) to other library method calls, but with DI control flow is inverted that's framework takes care of starting your app, initializing it and invoking your methods whenever required.
In the end you always win :)
A very simple written explanation can be found here
it says
Programming speaking
IoC in easy terms: It's the use of Interface as a way of specific something (such a field or a parameter) as a wildcard that can be used by some classes. It allows the re-usability of the code.
For example, let's say that we have two classes : Dog and Cat. Both shares the same qualities/states: age, size, weight. So instead of creating a class of service called DogService and CatService, I can create a single one called AnimalService that allows to use Dog and Cat only if they use the interface IAnimal.
However, pragmatically speaking, it has some backwards.
a) Most of the developers don't know how to use it. For example, I can create a class called Customer and I can create automatically (using the tools of the IDE) an interface called ICustomer. So, it's not rare to find a folder filled with classes and interfaces, no matter if the interfaces will be reused or not. It's called BLOATED. Some people could argue that "may be in the future we could use it". :-|
b) It has some limitings. For example, let's talk about the case of Dog and Cat and I want to add a new service (functionality) only for dogs. Let's say that I want to calculate the number of days that I need to train a dog (
b.1) If I add
b.2) I can add a condition in
b.3) I can create a new class of service called DogService just for the new functionality. But, it will increase the maintainability of the code because we will have two classes of service (with similar functionality) for Dog and it's bad.
Inversion of Control is a generic principle, while Dependency Injection realises this principle as a design pattern for object graph construction (i.e. configuration controls how the objects are referencing each other, rather than the object itself controlling how to get the reference to another object).
Looking at Inversion of Control as a design pattern, we need to look at what we are inverting. Dependency Injection inverts control of constructing a graph of objects. If told in layman's term, inversion of control implies change in flow of control in the program. Eg. In traditional standalone app, we have main method, from where the control gets passed to other third party libraries(in case, we have used third party library's function), but through inversion of control control gets transferred from third party library code to our code, as we are taking the service of third party library. But there are other aspects that need to be inverted within a program - e.g. invocation of methods and threads to execute the code.
For those interested in more depth on Inversion of Control a paper has been published outlining a more complete picture of Inversion of Control as a design pattern (OfficeFloor: using office patterns to improve software design http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/2739011.2739013 with a free copy available to download from http://www.officefloor.net/mission.html)
What is identified is the following relationship:
Inversion of Control (for methods) = Dependency (state) Injection + Continuation Injection + Thread Injection
In using a container like Castle Windsor, it solves maintenance issues even better. Being able to swap out a component that goes to a database for one that uses file based persistence without changing a line of code is awesome (configuration change, you're done).
And once you get into generics, it gets even better. Imagine having a message publisher that receives records and publishes messages. It doesn't care what it publishes, but it needs a mapper to take something from a record to a message.
I wrote it once, but now I can inject many types into this set of code if I publish different types of messages. I can also write mappers that take a record of the same type and map them to different messages. Using DI with Generics has given me the ability to write very little code to accomplish many tasks.
Oh yeah, there are testability concerns, but they are secondary to the benefits of IoC/DI.
I am definitely loving IoC/DI.
3 . It becomes more appropriate the minute you have a medium sized project of somewhat more complexity. I would say it becomes appropriate the minute you start feeling pain.
Creating an object within class is called tight coupling, Spring removes this dependency by following a design pattern(DI/IOC). In which object of class in passed in constructor rather than creating in class. More over we give super class reference variable in constructor to define more general structure.
Answering only the first part. What is it?
Inversion of Control (IoC) means to create instances of dependencies first and latter instance of a class (optionally injecting them through constructor), instead of creating an instance of the class first and then the class creating instances of dependencies. Thus, inversion of control inverts the flow of control of the program.
Spring-framework-referance.pfd page 34
Using IoC you are not new'ing up your objects. Your IoC container will do that and manage the lifetime of them.
It solves the problem of having to manually change every instantiation of one type of object to another.
It is appropriate when you have functionality that may change in the future or that may be different depending on the environment or configuration used in.
To understanding the concept, Inversion of Control (IoC) or Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP) involves two activities: abstraction, and inversion. Dependency Injection (DI) is just one of the few of the inversion methods.
To read more about this you can read my blog Here
It is a practice where you let the actual behavior come from outside of the boundary (Class in Object Oriented Programming). The boundary entity only knows the abstraction (e.g interface, abstract class, delegate in Object Oriented Programming) of it.
In term of programming, IoC try to solve monolithic code by making it modular, decoupling various parts of it, and make it unit-testable.
It is appropriate most of the time, unless you have situation where you just want monolithic code (e.g very simple program)
Thank you for your interest in this question.
Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site (the association bonus does not count).

This play tells the story of Ellen Craft' escape from slavery. In the mid-1800s, Ellen (disguised as an old white man) and her husband (posing as her servant) traveled by train from Macon, Georgia, to Philadelphia. They settled in Boston, lived as free citizens, and were active in the antislavery movement. Warrants for their arrest, sent by their former owner, forced them to flee to Nova Scotia, and then England. They wrote an account of their escape and raised five children. After the end of the Civil War, they returned to Boston and then to Georgia, where they opened the Southern Industrial School and Labor Enterprise.

The focus of this play is to broaden students' awareness of women's roles in American history. This play may be used in conjunction with your social studies curriculum. The readers' theater format will also bolster your language arts program; reading the play aloud will build students' oral literacy and reading skills. This play will also fit well into a thematic unit. You may want to put on a more elaborate production involving props, scenery, and costumes. Those students who resist performing will find that there are so many behind the scenes roles they can fill. Increase, or add, crowd scenes so students can be on-stage without having to undertake speaking roles.

really impactful painting. i think your focal needs more attention he pales in comparison to the strength of the Policemen. one would tend to think the orange would over come the blue but in this case the balance of blue is so much larger then the orange that it takes over the seen. not sure what you could do to fix that. however that is not necessarily a bad thing i think it just depends on your intentions. perhaps bring up the details in the mans hands arms and face might make him a stronger character in the seen. he looks like hes almost asleep his expression is so passive. being a figurative painter my self i can say that expression or tension with a subjects face adds much to the feel of a composition. really a good job its a complex painting.
thank you very much for your comment, I agree with your opinion
I mean nice subject!
it looks real
Fantastic work!

An Earlier Administration Didn't Apologize to Japan
Regarding your editorial "The New World Disorder" (Sept. 13): As the Romney campaign and the White House bicker over whether an apology was made over the cause of the tragic attacks on the U.S. missions in Egypt and Libya, it's worth noting that the current situation isn't entirely unprecedented.
In 1936, Vanity Fair published a cartoon lampooning Japan's Emperor Hirohito. In a gallery of unlikely historical situations, the mikado was shown dressed in uniform, pulling a cart containing the Nobel Peace Prize. It was considered an outrageous insult because it suggested that the Emperor wasn't Peace Prize material and depicted the divine emperor as a coolie.
The Japanese government banned the sale of the magazine in its empire and demanded an apology. During a meeting with Secretary of State Cordell Hull, Amb. Hiroshi Saito seemed satisfied with the secretary's regret over the incident. But an apology was not offered. The misunderstanding was unfortunate but the secretary would not speak to the merits of the cartoon. In a telegram to the American Embassy in Tokyo, Hull advised: "For your information and guidance. Department considers the caricature . . . not repeat not offensive."
He reaffirmed his position that he was sorry for how the cartoon was received but not for the cartoon itself in another telegram, this time to American missions in China: "For your particular information: any reports which may affirm that the Secretary made [an] apology or any statement tantamount thereto are contrary to fact." Hull rightly realized that apologizing for someone's exercise of free speech was out of the question, regardless of the expression's tenor or tone.

No matter what horrors are committed in the name of Islam against us, our government responds by apologizing for them. Naturally the left-wing media blame the video, not the savages who riot and murder. It is never them, always us.

Who asked the U.S. Cairo Embassy to comment on, much less apologize for, an obscure movie the U.S. government had absolutely no responsibility for? By so doing, it looks as if the government shares some responsibility for the film. How dumb is that? The U.S. is not (yet) a country where every public action is owned by the government.

As the "Arab Spring" enters its distinctly autumnal phase in post-Gadhafi Libya, post-Mubarak Egypt and post-Ben Ali Tunisia, it may be time to reconsider a piece of advice often scorned by the Middle East "experts" who helped to form President Obama's mind-set. It is John Stuart Mill's warning in his introduction to "On Liberty" (1859). "Liberty, as a principle, has no application to any state of things anterior to the time when mankind have become capable of being improved by free and equal discussion. Until then, there is nothing for them but implicit obedience to an Akbar or a Charlemagne, if they are so fortunate as to find one."
