by Cathy Liewen October 2009
Last week, The New York Times ran an article, "Plodders Have a Place, but Is It in a Marathon?" As marathons and long-distance events become more ubiquitous, finishing times are getting slower, which has sparked a debate in the running community as to whether slower runners and walkers, known as plodders, should be able to compete in marathons. The elite runners resent the 11-minute-per-mile joggers clogging the streets, using up resources and sharing a piece of the glory.

Social Media creates a lot of content. This content needs to be managed - especially if the content is created within an enterprise (Note: an enterprise in this definition is any organization that is a business). Enterprises need to insure the content is captured and perhaps controlled and moderated. This is not to say it's a Big Brother scenario. However, businesses do need to protect themselves and their assets (written and otherwise).
This presentation walks through a few scenarios where Social Media and Enterprise Content Management overlap. Smart companies (enterprises) will have plans in place to track, monitor and manage content that may affect their organization. Not doing so is at their peril.

Beware D.C. Light Rail Expansion
Federal officials have expressed serious concerns about a plan to extend Metrorail to Dulles International Airport and might reject it, according to an article in today's Washington Post ("Federal Qualms Leave Dulles Rail at Risk," January 17, 2008).
Officials with the Federal Transit Administration told the newspaper they fear there could be huge cost overruns and delays like those that afflicted the "Big Dig" highway project in Boston, which finished years behind schedule and billions of dollars over budget. The contractor who oversaw the Big Dig would also be in charge of the Dulles rail line project.
Following is a statement from Steve Stanek, managing editor of Budget & Tax News and research fellow at The Heartland Institute.
"Federal officials should be worried about the proposed rail extension of the Washington Metro to Dulles International Airport.
"Rail projects like this are notorious for huge cost overruns and delays, with the $2 billion (and growing) overrun and delays at Seattle's Sound Transit project being exhibit A.
"Light-rail supporters try to explain away delays and cost overruns by telling us not to believe our lying eyes. They argue they really aren't overruns because price inflation should not be considered an overrun.
"Neither should expensive solutions to engineering problems that crop up after a project gets underway.
"Neither should project upgrades ("change orders") requested by transit officials as a project is being built.
"It's all sophistry to obscure that fact that almost all such projects end up consuming far more time and money than supporters originally tell us. Lowballing estimates to make these projects look palatable is standard operating procedure.
"Even if we accept the argument that these really should not be considered overruns and delays, there is still the fact that rail transit accounts for only a small fraction of travel.
"'Over the past fifteen years alone, America has spent well over $100 billion on rail transit construction projects. What do we have for it? Transit has grown by 20 percent while urban driving has grown by 50 percent. Every single dollar spent on rail transit construction is a dollar wasted,' said Randal O'Toole, a transportation expert and senior fellow at the Cato Institute.
"The costs are huge and the benefits (if any) are tiny."

Vikings, Rybak, Dayton, pro-Vikes legislators finally unveil stadium plan
A rendering of the Vikings stadium plan legislators and the Mpls City Council will soon consider.
After months of hearing lawmakers carp that they couldn't speak to whether they support using public money for a new Vikings stadium without seeing a detailed proposal, a plan has finally emerged.
During a news conference earlier today, Gov. Dayton and the Vikings unveiled a $975 million stadium plan that would build the Vikings new home on the current site of the Metrodome.
There weren't any big surprises in the proposal -- as expected, the state would use electronic pulltabs to fund its $398 million portion, with the city of Minneapolis repurposing existing taxes to fund its $150 million share. The other $427 would come from the Vikings and other private sources.
According to the plan, a fixed-roof stadium located on the eastern portion of what is now the Metrodome site would open in 2016, with the Vikings playing the 2015 season at TCF Bank stadium. The stadium's design would be modeled on Indianapolis' heralded Lucas Oil Stadium, which hosted the Super Bowl last month. There would be one square block of open tailgating space northwest of the stadium. The stadium would be owned by a stadium authority with state and city representatives.
Interestingly, Ted Mondale, Metropolitan Sports Commission Chairman, said the project would also include a pitch to lure a Major League Soccer team to play in the new stadium.
A stadium bill will likely be introduced in the legislature next week. The Minneapolis City Council also needs to approve the plan, but whether Rybak can secure support from a majority of councilors remains uncertain.
Alluding to the fact that the plan needs legislative and city approval, Dayton said during today's news conference that "much work remains to be done."
Dayton stressed that the public contribution for the stadium wouldn't come from the general fund or increased taxes. He characterized the deal to build a "people's stadium" as a "remarkable accomplishment."
As the Pioneer Press details, under the terms of the plan, 56 percent of project funding would come from the public, with 44 percent coming from private sources. Here's how that split compares with other recent NFL stadium projects:
2010 New York Giants/Jets $1.6 billion, 100% private (not counting publicly funded infrastructure improvements)
2010 Kansas City $388 million; 68% public, 32% private
2009 Dallas $1.1 billion; 41% public, 59% private
2008 Indianapolis $720 million; 86% public, 14% private
2006 Arizona $455 million; 68% public, 32% private
Dayton estimated that the project would create about 8,000 construction jobs and 5,000 jobs on the supply side. Is that enough to win the support of legislators and the Minneapolis City Council? Whether the Vikings stay in Minnesota past next season may depend on it.

MP Jan Stuckey will attend parliament despite flu, but is silent on whether colleague Ros Bates should do likewise
- From: The Courier-Mail
- October 28, 2012
TOURISM Minister Jann Stuckey will battle a bad bout of the flu to take her seat in State Parliament this week, but has refused to say if besieged colleague Ros Bates should 'woman up' and do likewise.
Ms Bates, the Minister for Science, Information Technology, Information and the Arts, has taken extended sick leave as controversy swirls about her family's business links to sidelined senior bureaucrat Michael Caltabiano.
Mr Caltabiano stood aside as Transport and Main Roads Department Director-General last week after allegations he may have misled Parliament's Ethics Committee over his role with a lobbyist firm previously run by Ms Bates and her son Ben Gommers.
The scandal will dominate Parliament this week, and Ms Bates was set to come under heavy Opposition fire.
But in a move that reportedly surprised even Premier Campbell Newman, the Gold Coast MP took annual leave - which mysteriously then turned into sick leave.
Her office said she was too ill to take her seat in Parliament, despite being well enough to attend budget estimates hearings last week.
Ms Stuckey was clearly under the weather at a ceremony at Gold Coast Airport today to welcome Qantas back to the Glitter Strip after a four-year absence.
She struggled to speak during her speech but said she would be in Parliament this week "unless this lurgy decides to not improve".
But she ducked questions on whether Ms Bates should also front up.
"I'm here today to talk up how excited we are about Qantas, and I think everybody knows Minister Bates has had surgery recently," she said.
"What I have is a dose of the flu which I'm hoping to rebound from. It certainly isn't a surgery that I've had."
Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk has called on Mr Newman to sack Ms Bates if she does not turn up for Parliament.

Bridgeport - Geno Auriemma was addressing an out-of-state reporter earlier in the weekend, attempting to properly frame the season to date. The coach, with a wry grin, alluded to the four losses and called it "a colossal failure" in comparison to most UConn women's basketball seasons.
And now tonight, this colossal failure can earn a berth in the Final Four.
Make that the program's sixth straight Final Four and 14th overall.
UConn, the top seed, plays No. 2 Kentucky in the Bridgeport Regional final (7:30, ESPN). It is a rematch of last season's regional final in Kingston, R.I.
"When we were here last year, you go back and watch those games," Kentucky coach Matthew Mitchell said. "I think we're more talented. We'll have to be as tough as we were last year and make more shots."
Kentucky has talented guards in redshirt sophomore Jennifer O'Neill, senior A'dia Mathies and former Norwich Free Academy great Kastine Evans. This game also offers UConn transfer Samarie Walker another chance to beat her old team.
"It wasn't emotional last year and it won't be this year," Walker said.
UConn, meanwhile, enters playing some of its best basketball of the season. In spite of center Stefanie Dolson's nagging right leg injury, the Huskies pounded Maryland in the regional semifinals, thanks to a combined 35 points from freshmen Breanna Stewart, Moriah Jefferson and Morgan Tuck.
"There's no reason to think they can't be (Monday) exactly where they were (Saturday)," Auriemma said. "They've played a lot of basketball in the young careers. They've played a lot of 'if you lose you're out.'
"Can we expect (Saturday's output) every night? If we're fortunate enough to play two more nights after Monday? I don't know," he said. "Stefanie's not 100 percent, Kaleena (Mosqueda-Lewis) gets banged up a little bit. But at this point of the season, somebody's got to step up and do it."
UConn has been to the Elite Eight in eight straight seasons.
"I don't think there's any teams left playing (tonight) or Tuesday that are going to be easy outs," Auriemma said. "I don't think any teams come in and say we have all the answers for everything they do. Our defense has been really good all year long and it needs to be really good (tonight).
Kentucky is the kind of team that plays similar to us," he said. "They like to string together some runs and their pressure is something we have to deal with. We played them last year and we've seen enough of them. We have a pretty good idea of what we have to do."

Woo hoo! I've been looking for a good recipe for cherry icebox cookies, as they're a childhood favorite from a world-famous bakery in my hometown. I don't make my way back there very often and have missed them, so it's great to be able to make some at home. These aren't exactly the same, but they're quite close and the texture is excellent! I will definitely make them again. Thank you for posting the recipe! My family and friends of my hometown will all want to make these. :)
I've been making these cookies for several years (although I found the recipe in a community cookbook) and love them. They are easy to make. I like to make them a day ahead and let them chill overnight. I also put the baked cookies in the freezer and they turn out great. Thanks for posting!!
I love icebox cookies and these are just excellant. Thank you so much grandma 2969 for sharing your recipe. So tasty and so easy to make.

I did change the one ingredient I think does not make this raw and I understand to be unhealthy, agave. I used a honey instead, yes still not raw as it wasn't, I need to get shopping. I loved the taste even more before sweetening actually!! This was sure delicious sweetened though as well. I may make it again with raw honey or no sweetener!
This was divine! I have never eaten any key lime mousse or pie, but this was totally my thing. As I'm not really sweet toothed, I only used 1 teaspoon honey in addition to the banana. That was perfectly sweet for me, and just complimented the lime flavour so well. Will make this again often this summer, I guess :) Thanks for sharing!<br/>Made for Spring PAC 2014

Ovarian Mass
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I am a predominately healthy 37 year old woman with two children, no recent birth control pill use and had a grandmother die with colon cancer. I've been scheduled for laparoscopy to remove a tumor on my left ovary described as being a solid mass with cell walls and internal structures measuring 3.2cm. My CA125 level was 2.3 (results weren't measured by u/ml). I've read that laparotomy is more commonly performed for surgical treatment of suspected malignancies and additional exploratory evaluation of other reproductive organs.
I'm waiting for answers to several questions from the gynecologist scheduled to perform the surgery, have an appointment for a 2nd opinion from another gynecologist, but am concerned that I may need to find a oncologist specializing in gynecological surgery. Would you recommend a specific course of action using a particular type of medical practitioner?
Stephen C. Rubin, MD, Professor and Chief of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology, University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
Prior to operating on a patient with an ovarian mass, a gynecologist should be able to make a rough estimate of the risk of malignancy, based on such things as the patient's age and family history, the size and appearance of the mass on scan, and the CA 125 level. If there is a significant risk of cancer, the procedure should be done by a gynecologic cancer surgeon, who will make a decision as to whether or not laparoscopy is appropriate. Most gynecologic oncologists prefer to perform open surgery (laparotomy) when the risk of ovarian cancer is high. If you have any questions or concerns, a second opinion from a gynecologic oncologist may be appropriate.

Rated 3 out of 5 by MichelleInPS Cozy Feet I ordered these slippers to wear around the house because I was cold. They are toasty and keep me warm. The down side is that I wear a size 5.5 - 6.5 shoe and usually a small fits great. These felt like a size 4.5 - 5. After wearing them twice, I donated them to a local charity that helps the homeless and working poor. I still recommend these, just order a size up. January 5, 2015

I've looked around but can't seem to find any good answers. Would appreciate any pointers.
I don't believe there is a built-in, system wide Keyboard Shortcut. The quickest way to activating the screensaver via the keyboard is either via a "Start Screensaver" command using a launching applications such as Quicksilver, Alfred, or Launchbar.
The quickest way of starting the screensaver using your mouse is via Hot Corners. Open System Preferences, click "Desktop & Screen Saver", click over to the "Screen Saver" tab and click the "Hot Corners" button in the bottom left. There you can specify a corner to roll over in order to start the screensaver.
If you want to start the screensaver quickly, because you want an easy way to lock your computer, a possible answer is located in the high-view "Mac OS X Hidden Features Tips & Tricks" question that remains active.
And specifically, this answer.
Many moons later, I wanted the same thing and I found a solution. I use BetterTouchTool to manage all of my keyboard/mouse/trackpad shortcuts and configurations. So I created a keyboard shortcut that runs a terminal command when pressed. To launch the screen saver from the terminal, use this command:
Now you can launch the screen saver with any keyboard shortcut (I use F19).
I agree with Jason's answer - the only built in way to lock the screen (which sleeps the display but does not engage the screensaver animation) is the shiftcontrolmedia eject shortcut.
A free solution would be to use RedSweater's product FastScripts to map your choice of keyboard shortcut to call one of the AppleScripts that are floating around the net to toggle the screen saver engine rather than just let the display sleep. I'd try making a simpler script just to open the engine at the hard coded path if you only wanted to engage the saver.
I am a very happy user of LaunchBar which allows a quick keyboard only method to start the Screen Saver. It's not really a keyboard shortcut in the strictest sense (first you activate Launchbar with it's own shortcut - then key in sss or whatever you chose/taught lanchbar to use for the built in Start Screen Saver action.) Any other commercial "launcher" product should work as well to activate the ScreenSaverEngine app that is hidden deep inside /System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/......
Here's a bit of a hack involving the Keychain Access utility that allows you to define a shortcut to lock the screen -- it's five years old and I haven't been able to verify if it still works, though.
Alternative to a keyboard shortcut, drag the app
On some computers it is CTRL-SHIFT-POWERBUTTON.

Set up a git repository at your server, then you can push stuff over there with no problems. Check the documentation at http://www.git-scm.com (there are several tutorials, and even a complete book). Check the documentation of git on how to configure remote branches.

I'm trying to upgrade Sublime Text editor in Mint 10 Linux, but they only have the tar.bz2 file available for download. Is there an easier way? I'm new to Linux, but I know you can install some programs with apt-get.
migrated from stackoverflow.com Oct 17 '12 at 23:36
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Extracting it is as simple as this:
This is similar to doing
The CONTENTS of that file are what determines how the program itself is installed.
In the case of Sublime, it looks like it just contains the binaries of the program. Once extracted, it's ready to run. There are 2 options you can take to make this easily executable.
If there are additional binaries with the install that must be executed, then option 2 will not be feasible.
I've been using webupd8's PPA for Sublime for over a year without any problems, check it out. It's much more convenient than playing around with tar balls and manual hacking and slashing.
On Mint 10 Linux I no idea, but in ubuntu you can add ppa, just search for google, sublime text will upgrade automatic

2008 Recount: Burner Actually Raised More Than Reichert in the Third Quarter
posted by October 16 at 8:21 AMon
Over at On the Road to 2008, blogger Daniel Kirkdorffer completely busts Rep. Dave Reichert's initial and deceptive spin on his third quarter fundraising.
Kirkdorffer reports that Reichert counted $47,100 in his grand total that he shouldn't have. While Reicert did initially receive the $47,100 in question, he ultimately had to return it to donors who had made excess contributions.
This is significant because initial reports put Reichert's third quarter fund raising at $340,800 while Democratic challenger Darcy Burner had raised a little over $300,000.
Subtract the nearly $50K from Reichert's totals, and he really raised $295,538.74compared to Burner's $306,783.
Here's Kirkdorffer's report, including a screen shot of the relevant FEC records, and this good news for Burner:
More impressively, 89% of Burner's contributions this election cycle came from individuals, while Reichert's contributions from individuals made up only 57% of his totals, the rest, over $340,000, coming from PACs and campaign committees. Just about half of Burner's contributions are unitemized, i.e. less than $200 a donation. Only 7% of Reichert's contributions from individuals are categorized as unitemized. As much as anything that tells so much of the story regarding the breadth of Burner's support and how much Reichert is having to rely on wealthier donors.
According to Postman, the AP talked to Reichert's folks about the supposed discrepancy in the initial spin on the numbers and Reichert Chief of Staff Mike Shields says the $47,100 is part of Reichert's total. Explanation:
Those refunds had to be issued because of mistakes in dividing the Bush money between Reichert's re-election campaign and the state Republican Party, which shared the more than $500,000 raised by the president. The refunded contributions will be repaid, so Reichert is counting those contributions toward his third quarter total, Shields said.

DigitalRoute and MetraTech have teamed up to help communications service providers with the monetization of next-generation services, including M2M and Intenet of Things (IoT) applications delivered over LTE networks.
The companies say they are already providing cloud-based metering, charging and billing services to a North America tier-one customer and aim to expand their offerings for other players as technologies like software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) gain traction.
M2M hardware player u-blox says its new 4G LTE module has been certified for use on the network of US telecoms giant Verizon Wireless.
The Swiss company says certification opens the door to the development of M2M services and applications that will function on one of the country's biggest 4G networks.
Customers will from now on be able to design the TOBY-L100 LTE module – as it is called – into devices operating on Verizon's (New York City, NY, USA) LTE system.
New Zealand operator 2degrees says it has kicked off a three-month trial of 4G technology with plans to introduce commercial services by July.
The operator – the smallest of New Zealand's three mobile players – is running an LTE trial at ten sites in central Auckland, using 1800MHz spectrum.
The aim is to launch commercial services in central Auckland by July before expanding into the wider Auckland area and the cities of Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch by the end of the year.
Connectivity player DataXoom says it has launched an initiative for healthcare workers using tablets and specialty devices and needing access to information services on the go.
The company – which provides mobile data services for businesses – is to support healthcare workers' connectivity needs on a mixture of LTE, CDMA and GSM networks.
US MVNO Raco Wireless says it has won a contract to support German carmaker Audi with the rollout of 4G LTE services.
The news comes shortly after Audi (Ingolstadt, Germany) teamed up with US telecoms giant AT&T (Dallas, TX, USA) on the launch of the 2015 Audi A3 sedan, which is being promoted as the first car in the US market that will include 4G LTE connectivity.
Audi plans to launch the 2015 Audi A3 sedan this spring.
Half the population of Africa will be covered with 4G networks by the end of 2018, according to a new study from ABI Research, as the number of base stations deployed across the continent increases at a compound annual growth rate of 40% over the next five years.
Even so, LTE network population coverage will be far from homogenous across the region, says ABI Research.
Kore Telematics has launched an educational program in partnership with modem maker Multi-Tech Systems aimed at supporting M2M players facing a shutdown of 2G networks.
Leading US operators AT&T (Dallas, TX, USA) and Verizon Wireless (New York City, NY, USA) have both announced plans to switch off their 2G networks over the next few years and run all voice and data traffic over 3G and 4G infrastructure.
The plans have generated concern among companies that currently use those 2G networks for their M2M services.
Router manufacturer Encore Networks has teamed up with MVNO Wyless to offer what they call a "4G wireless starter kit" for M2M applications.
The two companies say the new kit will allow customers to develop and test industrial M2M applications at no cost before they commit to a long-term wireless data plan.
The package includes an Encore (Chantilly, VA, USA) router, technical support and up to 500 megabytes of free data on the 4G network of Verizon Wireless (New York City, NY, USA) – prepaid for 60 days by Wyless (Lawrence, MA, USA).
UK-based NextG-Com has launched what it claims is the first LTE protocol stack targeting M2M and special applications.
Its ALPs 520 is described as a customizable LTE modem stack that will meet the needs of target niche and special markets such as M2M services, LTE backhaul, relay nodes, routers and gateways.
The technology is suited to a range of M2M applications, says NextG-Com (Staines upon Thames, UK), from low-memory and low-cost M2M applications to high-performance special applications, with or without mobility.
Slovakia's three existing mobile operators and new entrant Swan have emerged as the winners of new 4G licenses following the conclusion of the country's multi-band frequency auction.
In a statement published on its website, Slovakia's telecoms regulator said the auction raised a total of €163.9 million ($224 million) – 15% more than the base price it had set for the various lots on offer.
Historically, network infrastructure is the most expensive component in a mobile operator's overall CAPEX, which holds true in China, the biggest and fastest growing 4G market in the world. This report provides an in-depth overview of market revenue, equipment shipments, and the competitive landscape for carriers. Buy now

I've almost got my power settings sorted and was hoping someone could help?
If I'm running XP and the power is cut, when the power is restored my machine auto restarts (this is what I want!)
However, if I shutdown my machine properly (from the start menu & without touching the PC power button!), then switch the power off at the socket, then switch the power back on, the PC does not automatically restart.
It's like the BIOS(?) receives a message saying "aha, genuine shutdown and not a power cut, therefore do not restart on power restore."
I want my PC to restart every time it sees power restored from the socket?
Any way round this? Anyone seen this before? I've upgraded my BIOS.

Shallon Lester Quits 'Gatecrasher' Column
The longtime legwoman for the 'Daily News' gossip page is out.
Shallon Lester, the legwoman for the Daily News' "Gatecrasher" column — the only such worker that we've never actually met while out and about working — has quit the tabloid. She was a holdover from "Rush & Molloy," where she toiled alongside "'crasher" co-columnist Sean Evans. You may also remember Lester from her scantily clad appearance on the cover of Steppin' Out magazine, or her ill-fated reality-show ambitions. She'll be working for Sony. Hordes of aspiring gossipmongers, get those résumés ready — we hear they might be looking for a replacement soon.

A Lobster based creature of the deep. In the same genre as my Torta.
Not much else to say. It took me a few attempts to get it down correctly. It was flimsy until I found a gret connection in the back. now it has very high playablity, and trust me, this beast is fun to massacre mini-figs with.
Hope you enjoyed!

Moving beyond basic Bash
Even beginners can benefit from a greater understanding of the Bash shell's many builtin commands.
Most GNU/ Linux users know that the command line uses Bash (Bourne Again Shell), but what fewer know is that, by default, they use the plainest version of Bash. The truth is that Bash is a command much like any other. It might be the command that runs other commands – a command interpreter – but, just like any other command, its behavior can be radically altered by the options you add when starting it up or by running some of its built-in commands (builtins). Moreover, you can even choose an entirely different shell through which to interact with your system.

At a casino gambling table, to buy-in means to convert cash into chips, but what about its antonym, what's the word for to convert/exchage playing chips to/for chips that could be exchanged to cash at the cashier? Is it cashout?

Literally, cash out is used when you exchange your chips for cash with a cashier. By extension, it is often used to indicate that the speaker is ceasing an activity and collecting whatever compensation or reward is due from it. If a poker player walks away from the table with her winnings in hand with no intention of returning in the near term, therefore, it could be called "cashing out" even if she will not be immediately exchanging chips for cash.

Formscan By Eamonn Murphy - Nine starts (including two point-to-points) haven't yielded a win yet for THE CRAFTY BUTCHER, but his turn could have arrived here. In fairness the Vinnie Roe gelding has been consistent and indeed he only lost out by a nose on one occasion, in a bumper behind Our Vinnie. The mare that proved superior to him at Cork last week, Blossom Gate, is a good one at her best, so hopefully The Crafty Butcher won't come up against something like that here. Michael Hourigan said of him in a recent Irish Field stable tour: "I think he'll be my weekend horse this year, or as they say in England, a Saturday horse. He probably should have won a bumper and he ran a cracker again the other day. Two and a half miles will suit and he'll go for a maiden hurdle now. I am hoping that he'll develop into a good novice over a trip. He is a real nice horse and the further he goes the better. Ground isn't really an issue for him." The Crafty Butcher holds Coolmill and Vintage Supreme on Cork form and it'll be disappointing if he can't prevail now.

I examine the role of technological change in health care labor markets. One of the biggest issues in the U.S. economy over the recent past has been rapidly rising health care costs. Conventional wisdom holds the main factor driving these costs increases has been technological change. These changes in technology have lead to a direct transformation in the delivery of health care and have also lead to indirect transformations through the reshaping of the private and public insurance industry. My findings are consistent with the idea that technological change has resulted in an increase in demand for higher skilled workers in the industry, while being labor-saving among low-skill workers. The earnings of RNs and health therapists rose rapidly over the 1983 to 1993 period, declined between 1993 and 1996, but then began to rise again after 1996. It is generally believed that managed care has had a one-time cost reducing effect in the industry by eliminating some of the inefficiencies associated with fee-for-service health insurance (Newhouse, 1992). The results here suggest a similar finding in the labor market.

- 3 Contemporary Theories of US government: pluralist, elite & class, and hyperpluralist (defined above)
The Constitution
- Constitution-a nation's basic law. it creates political institutions, assigns or divides powers in government, and often provides certain guarantees o citizens.

- Checks & Balances- features of the Constitution that limit government's power by requiring that power be balanced among the different governmental institutions.
- Bill of Rights- the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution, drafted in response to some of the Anti-Federalist concerns. These amendments define such basic liberties as freedom of religion, speech, press, and guarantee defendent's rights.
- Federalist Papers- a collection of 85 articles written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison under the name "Publius" to defend the Constitution in detail.
- Equal Rights Amendment- a constitutional amendment passed by Congress in 1972 stating that "equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abriged by the United States or by any state on accout on sex." The amendment failed to aquire the necessary support from 3/4 of the state legislatures.
- Marbury v. Madison- the 1803 case in which Chief Justice John Marshall and his associates first asserted the right of the Supreme Court to determine the meaning of the US Constitution. The decision established the Court's power of judicial review over acts of Congress, in this case the Judiciary Act of 1789.
- Judicial Review- the power of the courts to determine whether acts of Congress and, by implication, the exutive are in accord to the US Constitution. Judicial Review was first established by John Marshall and his associates in Marbury v. Madison.
- Summer of 1776 a small group of men met in Philadelphia and passed the Declaration of Independence.
- Once the U.S. was independent, the Articles of Confederation were passed as the first set of laws.
- The Articles created a government ruled by the states, not one central government.
- Under the Articles, Congress lacked the power to tax the people.
- Because Congress could not tax, it could not support a military for national defense, even though it was the duty of Congress to provide a national defense.
- Congress could not regulate interstate commerce, which hurt foreign and domestic trade
- The failure of the Articles provided certain ideas that a new Constitution should avoid.
- The 55 delagates ordered to attend the Constitutional Convention were to "revise the Articles of Confederation"
- The delegates ignored this order and wrote the Constitution of the United States
- slavery was left out of the Constitution
- to prevent tyranny, the Constitution created: a system of checks and balances among 3 branches, separation of powers among those branches, and government was to be under the direct control of the majority.
- Constitution created 3 branches: The Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.
- Each branch as its own powers, and limits the powers of the other 2 branches.
- Text of the United States Constitution
- Text of the Bill of Rights
- Text of Amendments 11-27
- Federalism isn't mentioned in the Constitution
- Framers carefully defined the powers of each branch of government: executive, legislative, judicial. They also defined the powers of the states (10th Amendment)
- "Constitution's Distribution of Powers" Chart between federal and state powers page 76 in textbook
- Four key events that lead to increased government power: elaboration of the doctrine of implies powers, definition of commerce clause, the Civil War, and the long struggle for racial equality
- Implied Powers:
- State verse national powers
- Enumerated/implied powers
- Elastic clause
- Commerce Power:
- Gibbons v. Ogden- landmark case decided in 1824 in which the Supreme Court interpreted very broadly the clause in Article I, Sec. 8, of Constitution giving Congress the power to regulate interstate/international commerce, encompassing every form of commercial activity.
- The Civil War:
- Civil War was a struggle between states and national government
- Struggle for Racial Equality:
- Brown v. Board of Education- Supreme Court declared segregated schools to be unconstitutional
- Cooperative federalism:
- Shared costs- cities and states can receive federal money for public uses such as road maintenance, water systems, etc.
- Federal guidelines- most federal grants come with strings attached. Ex: Congress spends billions of dollars on highway construction, so in order to get federal dollars, states must adopt & enforce limits on highway speeds and drinking age
- Shared administration- state officials implement local polices but they also have their own powers over that policy. Ex: US Dept. of Labor gives billions to states for job training, but states have the lee-way of using it the way they want to.
- Vocab:
- Supremacy clause- Article IV of the Constitution, which makes the Constitution, national laws, and treaties supreme over state laws when the national government is acting within its constitutional limits
- Enumerated powers- powers of the federal gov't that are specifically addressed in the Constitution, listed in Article I
- Implied powers- powers of the federal gov't that go beyond the those enumerated in the Constitution. The Constitution states that Congress has the power to "make all laws necessary and proper" to carry out enumerated powers
- Full faith and credit- a clause in Article IV, Sec 1 requiring each state to recognize the official documents and civil judgments rendered by the courts of other states
- Extradition- a legal process whereby an alleged criminal offender is surrendered by the officials of one state to officials of the state in which the crime is alleged to have been committed
- Privileges and immunities- clause in Article IV, Sec. 2 of the Constitution according citizens of each state most of the privileges of citizens of other states
- Dual federalism- a system of gov't in which both the states and the national government remain supreme within their own spheres, each responsible for some policies
- Cooperative federalism- system of gov't in which powers and policy assignments are shared between states and the national government. They may also share costs, administration, and even blame for programs that work poorly.
- Devolution- transferring responsibility for policies from the federal gov't to state and local governments
- Fiscal federalism- pattern of spending, taxing, and providing grants in the federal system; it's the cornerstone of the national government's relations with state and local governments
- Categorical grants- federal grants that can be used only for specific purposes or "categories" of state and local spending. They come with strings attached, such as nondiscrimination provisions
- Project grants- federal categorical grants given for specific purposes and awarded on the basis of the merits of applications
- Formula grants- federal categorical grants distributed according to a formula specified in legislation or in administrative regulations
- Block grants-federal grants given more or less automatically to states or communities to support broad programs in areas such as community development and social services
- Marriage/divorce licenses, driver's licenses and birth certificates are valid in all states, see full faith and credit.
- Dual Federalism-states have certain powers that only the states control. the national government has its share of special powers.
- Cooperative Federalism- policies shared between national & state government.
- These policies include: costs (sewage ,youth programs, etc.), federal guidlines (federal grants with strings attached), and shared administration (US Dept.www.loansathome.org.uk of Labor gives money to states for job training, but states have considerable latitude in spending the money.)
- A system of federalism was chosen by the Founders when creating a new government because they feared that if the national government held all the power, the US may become a dictatorship; something they just fought a war over.

ATLANTA (AP) -- The Supreme Court's decision ordering California to drastically reduce its prison population to relieve overcrowding could encourage some states with bloated corrections systems to overhaul tough-on-crime policies.
Advocates of sentencing reforms are already using the court's 5-4 ruling on Monday as an example of what could happen if states don't adopt alternative programs for those convicted of drug offenses and non-violent crimes.
An Ohio State University law professor says the ruling is an example of why the reforms are critical to stave off dramatic showdowns in court.
The Supreme Court's ruling concluded that the reduction was needed to correct sometimes deadly lapses in medical care that violated the ban on cruel and unusual punishment. California prison officials plan to divert some low-level offenders to local jails to comply with the order.

Officials at Eli Lilly say that SQUIRE, a recently completed Phase III study, met its primary endpoint. The trial found that patients with stage IV metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) experienced increased overall survival when administered necitumumab (IMC-11F8) in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin as a first-line treatment, as compared to chemotherapy alone.
The most common adverse events occurring more frequently in patients on the necitumumab arm were rash and hypomagnesemia. Serious, but less frequent, adverse events occurring more often on the necitumumab arm included thromboembolism.
"If approved, necitumumab could be the first biologic therapy indicated to treat patients with squamous lung cancer," noted Richard Gaynor, M.D., vice president, product development and medical affairs for Lilly Oncology.
This is good news for Lilly, who have encountered multiple Phase III failures over the past year including the halted Phase III PRELUDE study back in May, which assessed the drug candidate enzastaurin as a monotherapy in the prevention of relapse in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Enzastaurin reportedly failed to show a statistically significant increase compared to placebo in disease-free survival in patients at high risk of DLBCL relapse following rituximab-based chemotherapy.

The keyword "goto" in java is not supported. I have read somewhere once that it is supported in java bytecode, and that there was a obfuscator that used this to create unreadable spaghetti code. However, I cannot find this page again, So I am asking this question here: Does the goto keyword work in compiled form?
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.
yes, the "goto" is part of the JVM. Many constructs depend on it (like if / else, while, etc).
It's the equivalent of the "call" in assembly language.
But you're right, it's not available in java source code, only in byte code.
Other jvm-based languages might implement it.
Here is the Jasmin page about it : https://www.vmth.ucdavis.edu/incoming/Jasmin/ref-_goto.html (opcode is 0xA7)
The Java keyword list specifies the goto keyword, but it is kept reserved. Means it is not used.
If you try to use it will show you error
This was probably done in case it were to be added to a later version of Java.
If goto weren't on the list, and it were added to the language later on, existing code that used the word goto as an identifier (variable name, method name, etcetera) would break. But because goto is a keyword, such code will not even compile in the present, and it remains possible to make it actually do something later on, without breaking existing code.
check this video.. James gosling tell about goto...he used goto when he designed java compiler
