Recovering From Clojure/conj
Whew. I just got back from Clojure/conj and boy, is my brain tired.
I'l be doing a more detailed and code-oriented post with Milt Reder on the Yet Analytics blog this week, but I need to do a brain dump beofre I brainsplode.
So, getting the fanboy stuff out of the way: I got to shake Rich Hickey's hand and thank him for all the work that went into Clojure and Datomic, i.e., the stuff that made programming fun again for me. So that was fun. This was at the conference party at the Crime Museum, which was a joy and a wonderful place for a party.
But, the actual conj…
Brainsplosion: Stage 1
On day one of the conj, I was in awe of the presentations I was seeing. Amazing work in ClojureScript, generative testing, JVM experiments…
I was especially excited to see Bozhidar Batsov talk about the state of CIDER, since I use it every day in my development cycle with Emacs, and he's also the author of Prelude, my baseline Emacs environment. CIDER has come a long way, and it's only getting better. I can't imagine going back to another development environment for Clojure. Although, the talk on Cursive was fascinating, and I'll certainly use it in IntelliJ if I'm writing Java with Clojure wrappers.
Just when I thought I'd had enough: the Rich Hickey keynote, Inside Transducers. This went way deeper than his Strange Loop talk.
Rich uses Aquamacs, apparently. Who knew?
Anyhow, I can't go into the meat of transducers here, but I can say they'll mean a massive refactoring of my main codebase, especially when dealing with transformations of data structures from core.async channels. Again, we'll do a more technical post soon. I'm still processing this.
Brainsplosion: Stage 2
That night there were unsessions, and although there were a number of incredible topics, the one most relevant to our day-to-day (and the one we made it to) was the Datomic unsession with Stu Halloway, one of the architects of Datomic. In less than an hour, the Q&A (only one of the Q's being from me) helped me figure out my deployment strategy for Datomic on multiple peers on AWS behind an ELB instance. I'd been pondering this for months, and it all became clear.
On day 2, we learned some fascinating things about using async channels in ClojureScript, type systems, and Datomic superpowers. I took a break after lunch, and then that night was the party.
Brainsplosion: Final Meltdown
Today, there were great talks about data pipelines, more generative testing, and then…
I don't even know how to start this.
Let me explain: I came to Clojure with very little Java experience. I learned "enough Java to get by" so I could write simple Android apps. Then I saw this talk by Steve Yegge:
If you prefer, the transcript is here.
Did you notice this part?
So javac, the Java compiler: what does it do? Well, it generates bytecode, does some optimizations presumably, and maybe tells you some errors. And then you ship it off to the JVM. And what happens to that bytecode? First thing that happens is they build a tree out of it, because the bytecode verifier has to go in and make sure you're not doing anything [illegal]. And of course you can't do it from a stream of bytes: it has to build a usable representation. So it effectively rebuilds the source code that you went to all that effort to put into bytecode.
There's way more than that, but that's the first thing that got the JVM raising hairs on the back of my neck.
So anyhow, I've been increasingly interested in JVM internals.
Like how when I first got into Clojure, I learned the main reason it lacked tail call optimization was the JVM's security model.
Yeah. the security model prohibits the reuse of stack frames. I promise, I'll come back to this.
So the closing keynote was by Brian Goetz, Java Language Architect at Oracle. The things I learned about the JVM and where it's going broke my brain more than transducers.
First: we all know (or should know) that Java 8 is getting lambda expressions.
So what happened? Did they add a Function type to the JVM? Nope. Java 8 lambdas are syntactic sugar over interface implementations!
I'm not going to dive into code in this post, as it's my decompression post, but this was one mind-blowing concept.
We also learned that while type erasure in generics isn't going anywhere, we will be able to use generics with primitives. Which is pretty damned cool. So instead of getting the autoboxed ArrayList<Integer>
, you can get an unboxed ArrayList<int>
I could be wrong, but the move away from autoboxing might allow for more direct access to unboxed primitives from Clojure, which would be a huge win for people who want to, for instance, program OpenGL games in Clojure and need unboxed floats and doubles in order so to do.
But here's the jaw-dropper:
Part of the JVM's security model, ever since the dark days of 1995, has been frame counting. I'm going to get this wrong, so please correct me in the comments. But my understanding is this: If there are 64 frames on the stack, and a new instruction is called, the JVM is going to make sure there are 65 frames on the stack, to prevent frame injection.
This is why we have this loop
and recur
bullshit in Clojure. I shouldn't call it bullshit, it's actually an elegant workaround for the limitations of the JVM. But it's still a smelly workaround for the lack of tail call optimization we get in, say, Scheme.
Getting rid of this (in Brian's words, IIRC, stupid "security" implementation) means we can drop the prohibition against the reuse of stack frames and actually get tail recursion on the JVM without blowing the stack.
Admittedly, TCO was stated tot be low-priority for the Java language team at Oracle, but if the JVM changes to support it, I don't see why we can't have it in Clojure before Java gets it.
Whew. Brainmelt.
Which also happens to be the least popular sandwich at Denny's.
So there's my immediate Clojure/conj braindump. More will be explicated in posts here and on the Yet blog. But damn was that a good conference.
There were many times I felt like I had to be the stupidest person there.
But most of the people I talked to felt the same, so I guess I'm in good company, and in the right place.

Share another experience before you go.Really good pizza and quick service -- VERY crowded but service is great and food is always hot and fresh :)
Pizza was blah. had almost no flavor to it. . Bland. sauce was just flat. Dough was done perfect. about the best I can say
Never went into Sal's. I ordered delivery service. The pizza (on seperate occasions) were excellent (both a white with anchioves and a red with pepperoni and sausage. The pasta was made to my spefications.....oil & garlic. The delivery time was what they said it would be. Very good food.
We were paying for fresh pizza and sal's nailed it. dough was super fresh and tasty and sauce was very good. they delivered it to out hotel on time. the extra cheese and onion was to die for. we are so happy we we tried sal's we will be back for sure. I personally think Macs is way over hyped... More
Best Italian restaurant to eat. They make there sauce fresh everyday. The guys are so friendly and hardworking.. One of the best places for 🍕 in wildwood.
The sauce was great. The cheese was not oily either. All in all a very good pizza. The only critic would be that it was a little bit of a thicker crust; however, I would go back anytime and just ask them to make a thinner crust pizza.
ordered take out, fast and good. Best Italian in the Crest from pizza to calzones. Its all good. Its an every year tradition.
You don't always expect to find great pizza at the shore area - but Sal's is the real deal. The white pizzas were as tasty as the reds - good crust. Highly recommend
Had a large pepp and plain over teh weekend. nice inside. pizza was just okay, then again I am from north NJ..
Their pizza was pretty good. Also tried their homemade Ravioli and eggplant parmesan both were really good. The only reason I gave this place a 4 star is because I ordered a cheesesteak which was terrible.

what?! i JUST bought a chandy for my dining room, but would have jumped all over that...kelly
aren't those little brass hooks the BEST? it's got so much detail!
Love it!
TOTALLY right I just bought a hanging drum shade for my office for Overstock for the same price...it is simpler but I may add a band trim.Keep those deals coming!
Oooh, good one. Thanks for sharing!
WOW great overstock find! BRAVO!
We're actually planning to buy the Circa Lighting/Shades of Light fixture soon! The Overstock imitation is close but it says that it's actually brushed nickel in the description and video provided not bronze.
I've been looking for new lighting for a couple spaces, I need to head over and poke around.

Avoiding thoughts about how things could have been better - an interesting strategy for self-enhancement. "It could have been worst" vs. "I could have done it better." What do procrastinators say?
Thinking about how things could have been, possible outcomes that did not happen but can be imagined, are known as counterfactual thoughts. Upward counterfactuals are mental simulations of better possible outcomes. Downward counterfactuals have the focus on how things might have been much worse. Both forms have emotional and behavioral consequences.
On the one hand, upward counterfactuals may make use feel bad as we think about how things might have gone better. On the other hand, we might learn more effective strategies for success through this reflection - if only I had done X, maybe next time. We benefit from these thoughts. Similarly, downward counterfactual thoughts may benefit us simply by improving our mood. Despite our lack of success, we can take solace in the thought that it's not as bad as it could be.
Individual differences seem to play a role here. For example, individuals with high self-esteem make more downward counterfactuals (it could have been worse) in response to negative events, possibly reflecting a self-enhancement strategy and mood repair. This preference for downward counterfactuals in response to negative events or moods is seen by some psychologists as a self-enhancement motive, a means to repair negative mood induced by an unpleasant outcome. Of course, chronic self-protective downward counterfactuals may be dysfunctional, because it may also serve to decrease the likelihood that the individual will learn ways to improve behavior.
Based on the research done on counterfactuals, Fuschia Sirois (University of Windsor) conducted a study to explore the possible relationships between counterfactual thinking and that well-known self-defeating behavioural style - trait procrastination. As you may recall from previous blogs about mood regulation, procrastination is associated with active attempts to regulate the immediate mood (e.g., "Giving in to feel good") and to protect or enhance self-concept (e.g., "Delay as a self-handicapping strategy"). Fuschia reasoned that these links between procrastination and self-enhancement may also make procrastinators prone to downward counterfactuals after negative events.
Her Research
Eighty undergraduate students participated in her study by responding to two anxiety induction scenarios. These participants were instructed to read a scenario depicting threatening events leading to an uncertain outcome. They were to vividly imagine the events as if they were happening to them. One scenario described a health-related situation involving delay in seeking consultation about an odd-shaped mole on a shoulder that was noticed after extensive exposure to the sun. The second scenario involved uncertainty related to coming home to find one's home threatened by fire from a neighboring house fire. Both scenarios involved anxiety and uncertainty, but the first one clearly related to needless delay or procrastination.
Although there were other elements to her procedure, the key thing is that participants were instructed to generate counterfactuals as the kind of "if only" or "at least" types of thoughts they had when reading the scenario. They were asked to list as many as came to mind, but their time was limited to five minutes.
The Results
"As expected procrastination uniquely predicted making more downward and relatively fewer upward counterfactuals . . . whereas self-esteem did not . . . This suggests that the association between procrastination and making more downward counterfactuals and relatively fewer upward counterfactuals may be related to self-enhancement motives (mood repair) in response to self-concept threat that is specific to procrastinating behaviour" (p. 278).
"When faced with the anxiety-provoking situations, procrastinators tended to focus on how the situation could have been worse but was not (downward counterfactuals) perhaps to avoid distressing thoughts about how things may have been better (upward counterfactuals), and to restore positive mood through the generation of downward counterfactuals. Thus, mood repair in general may be a way for procrastinators to escape or avoid their unpleasant state, a conclusion that is inline with research suggesting that procrastination is linked to avoiding rather than dealing with stressors" (p. 279).
The implications of this study
This is clearly another example of "short-term gain, long-term pain." As noted above, the preference for downward counterfactuals as a mood-regulating strategy may lessen the potential for recognition of the ways to correct future behavior. In other words, procrastinators never consider how more timely action might mitigate the problems procrastination has created. Focusing on how things were not as bad as they could have been may engender a sense of satisfaction and even complacency that may undermine motivation for change. As Fuschia notes, "Rather than be admonished by the consequences of their behaviour, procrastinators may focus on how outcomes could have been worse but were not, and are therefore able to preserve a positive sense of self" (p. 280). That is, for the moment, of course.
As Fushia sums it up, "This trade-off of immediate affective benefits for loss of preparative insights for future behaviour and decreased motivation to change may, in the case of procrastinators, perpetuate the very self-regulation difficulties that characterize these individuals" (p. 280).
Concluding thoughts . . .
An insight we each might develop based on the results of this study is to question how much we are relying on downward counterfactuals. Although we might need to bolster a failing sense of self in the face of disappointment by considering how "it could have been worse," we must now also recognize that over-dependence on this strategy might undermine our ability to deal more effectively with similar situations in the future. As with expressions like, "I'll feel more like it tomorrow" or "I work better under pressure," we now need to add "It could have been worse" to our list of "flags" that should signal to us that we're making an excuse and potentially deceiving ourselves in a costly manner.

Yes, when moisture is extracted from flowers some colors will intensify and some will soften. White flowers will dry with a cream tone, while reddish tone flowers will darken. The age and conditions of your flowers will also take a part on the overall look of your final product.
Some shedding is natural overtime. Small freeze-dried filler flowers (like hydrangea, baby's breath, golden rod and similar flowers) will shed more often. When you pick up your design clear instructions on how to care for your design will be supplied. Pressed flowers being firmly pressed between a mat and glass will rarely shed.
We can create a smaller version of your bouquet or floral design in any size you select (in a 5x7 or 8x10 we cannot create a bouquet resemblance).

Toast certainly is the gods' meals. Itis difficult to imagine any home with no toaster nowadays, and considering the fact that this appliance can be an -essential appliance, itis worth ensuring you purchase the correct one.
Some people choose a toaster on cost and looks alone, there is really an enormous difference between your various versions. We have examined every single design that we suggest (along with a whole lot that we do not), instead of simply listing a lot on the basis of the company's information. Read the best toaster oven reviews 2017.
With this site, you will find all the versions which have achieved our strict toast objectives. You can get two- four and piece -piece designs for less than £40, however the best toasters be expensive more. If you should be unsure which features you need, or ought to be searching for, then head-over to site two where out buying guide can give you a collision course in purchasing the great toaster – and trust us, it is a bit more complex than it appears.
Philips Toaster HD2647
If you should be buying no nonsense toaster then your Philips Toaster HD2647 is the greatest we have seen todate. Its style might not turn heads, however itis strongly built and contains some smart functions, this type of top-facing crumb tray, that will be much easier to pop-out and vacant compared to more common back-facing people, which often get overlooked until they are blocked solid. The settings are great, with lots of lift in the levers to have out smaller items and clicky buttons. No bagel style may be the only downside.
If you should be worried about operating costs, then your Philips has you included there too, using only 0.030kWh of capacity to come out fresh toast that is actually on both sides, actually, it is exceptional toast than that you get from many versions, even those costing twice the cost. In a nutshell, it is one and a great toaster which you'll be happy with – we simply want it'd a catchier name.
Dualit toasters continue to be a piece above the remainder for people. Lots of people focus about the exterior design, and yes they're legendary, specially when dressed in conventional stainless. Easy and for people though it is their exceptional design to fix character that actually makes them unique in some sort of where a lot of things are disposable.
The NewGen, unlike a few of the reduced Dualit versions, uses toasting so they can not be easily broken whenever you certainly seek out a little of crust having a knife components which have more filaments than regular along with a protective layer over the top. These filaments work turning out an ideal toast within two units, even though it sucks up 0.041kWh doing this.
Pop-up and the individual timer handle appears tricky, but provides you with correct toasting each time and enables you to check up on improvement without disturbing the timer. The easy home design implies that virtually everything fixed or could be easily changed, so that your toaster should last an extremely long time. Itis not only a style classic, it's really a toaster for a lifetime, really worth the cash if you're able to justify it.
The Dualit 4 Slot Toaster hit an excellent balance between blending and seeking fashionable in. I examined the Stoneware edition that accompany a pleasingly-tough end in much more vibrant and dark or gray, but shinier versions are available. In either case, it is a good-looking style and seems perfectly- built. The settings are press and sensitive definitely transformed or when pressed.
Unlike the conventional designs of Dualit, that is virtually a typical pop up toaster. You may, however, raise the addresses without deleting the timer to confirm the development of your toast. It offers Dualitis Great Toast Technology integral which automatically sets the timer with respect to the normal conditions, it is useful although not really excellent in my own experience. Having said that it will produce excellent toast and does it faster than many models I Have regarded as well, although never as fast because the more-severe Dualit versions, see below. At £75 that is value to get a well-made toaster that does everything even when it does not really surpass the claims of Dualit.
You anticipate an excellent style from Smeg and its own 2 Slice Toaster truly provides. Your opera test design looked spectacular should you choosenot such as the mirror, however itis also for sale in a variety of different colors -effect finish. Whenever your toast appears with strong quality throughout and satisfying zero to its handle it isn't only a pretty face both.
The outcomes were impressive too. Toast was equally done and it is much more and faster power-efficient than anything as of this value we have seen. The slots are not actually narrow too, thus getting larger what to match is not a problem. Talking about which there is a bagel style, to help you have them brittle on doughy and the inside on the exterior, as planned.
It is also for sale in a four-piece design, that ought to perform much like that one and contains the benefit of two great big slots (as opposed to the more prevalent four smaller slots) so you could make longer objects effortlessly.
5. Morphy Richards Element Toaster: an excellent 4 slice toaster for less than £50
Morphy Richards Element Toaster
The Morphy Richards Element Toaster is monolithic-hunting in dark, although it is also for sale in titanium gray and bright if you want. In either case, it is a wonderfully simple toaster with a change only a simple browning dial and nothing more. For individuals who like 'his, it isn't without any next browning control -and-hers' options then, plus there is no bagel style here. However, it is extremely powerful in the areas.
It creates excellent toast to begin with, having a good browning across all of the pieces on both sides. It is also simple to get to plenty of lift within the handle at your toast thanks, allowing you to achieve even the tiniest of items. Then there is lift-and-search, to help you check up on the improvement middle-period without resetting the timer. If that you don't require settings and the additional settings, that is just a good toaster in a very affordable price.
De'Longhi create a few of the better looking ones we believe, although thereis lots of good toasters out there. We were attracted by the Icona because of its moderate color schemes, as itis equally pretty small and great towards the effect after use but itis also useful in an exceedingly little home. Different versions can be found from £45, starting in this style, but this is actually the classic version which costs a bit more.
It is got a broad selection of settings, including a bagel style to get that crisp on a single part, doughy about the other end. The slots are long, so once we'd like although there'snot just as much raise you can simply lay along your bread inside them, therefore smaller things are difficult to get. It toasts fairly regularly, although never as good because the best we have seen. If you want the appearance, then your toast wont fail.

The Manufacture of Carbon Black From Oils Derived From Scrap Tires
EPA Contract Number: 68D99080Title: The Manufacture of Carbon Black From Oils Derived From Scrap Tires
Investigators: Wojtowicz, Marek
Small Business: Advanced Fuel Research Inc.
EPA Contact: Manager, SBIR Program
Phase: II
Project Period: September 1, 1999 through September 1, 2001
Project Amount: $224,966
RFA: Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) - Phase II (1999) Recipients Lists
Research Category: Hazardous Waste/Remediation , SBIR - Waste , Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)
This project addresses the reprocessing of oils derived from waste-tire pyrolysis into carbon black, a valuable feedstock for the manufacture of tires, other rubber products, paints, pigments, ink, powder coating, toner, and more. Such a process would form a recycling loop for the carbon black recovered from waste tires. Tire pyrolysis plants have been in operation for several years, but the economics are poor. This is due to the low value of the end products, which are usually fuels (e.g., oil, pyrolysis gas, char). Reprocessing of waste tires into value-added products would improve the economic leverage. The overall objective of the project is to develop a process for producing carbon black from tire pyrolysis oil. The Phase I objective, to demonstrate the feasibility of making carbon black of acceptable quality, was successfully accomplished, with American Society for Testing and Materials-grade carbon blacks produced. The Phase II objectives are to optimize product quality, as a function of process conditions and reactor design, and to advance the process to a pilot scale (Phase II option). This will be accomplished in the following tasks: (1) design and construction of a laboratory demonstration unit, (2) process optimization, (3) product analysis and process assessment, and (4) pilot-scale testing (Phase II option).The proposed research, if successful, should result in a process that would allow for the recycling of a huge stream of solid waste, the majority of which currently ends up in a landfill. The recovered carbon black would be reused mainly in tire manufacturing, which is a large-volume industry. The proposed technology should provide a strong boost for the tire pyrolysis plants that have suffered from poor process economics. The process involves only a few modifications in the existing state-of-the-art (carbon black furnace process), the main innovations being the substitution of tire pyrolysis oil for the traditional petroleum feedstocks and the processing of the oils to high-value products. For these reasons, the new technology is gaining acceptance within the industry, although the properties of the carbon black products as a function of process conditions and reactor design still need to be determined.

Mark Roth
Personal information | |
Born | Brooklyn, New York |
April 10, 1951
Occupation | professional bowler |
Updated on 4 November 2013. |
Mark Roth (born April 10, 1951) is a retired professional bowler. He was born in Brooklyn, New York. As a youth he resided in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Sheepshead Bay.[1]
Bowling career[edit]
Roth is a member of the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Hall of Fame (inducted 1987) and the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Hall of Fame (inducted 2009).[2] His 34 PBA titles place him sixth on the all-time PBA Tour winners list, behind Walter Ray Williams, Earl Anthony, Pete Weber, Norm Duke and Parker Bohn III. He was the second professional bowler to surpass $1,000,000 in career winnings, with Anthony being the first. His eight titles won in 1978 are still the PBA record for a single season, topping the previous mark of seven titles held by Dick Weber (1961) and Billy Hardwick (1969). Roth won another six titles in the 1979 season while collecting his third consecutive PBA Player of the Year award. He won two major titles, in the U.S. Open and Touring Players Championship, both in 1984, while winning his fourth PBA Player of the Year award that season.
Originally from Brooklyn, N.Y., Roth attacked the Tour in 1970 with a cranking, hard-throwing style that created a generation of imitators now prevalent throughout the sport. After finishing 2nd to Don Johnson in the 1972 Brunswick World Open, Mark's first televised appearance, he followed that up with a fifth-place finish in the PBA National Championship. It was then that Roth decided to bowl on the Tour full-time. Roth shot a 299 during the televised finals to win his first PBA title at the 1975 King Louie Open in Overland Park, Kansas. Roth repeated the feat, shooting a 299 during the televised finals of the 1987 Greater Buffalo Open in Cheektowaga, New York. Never one to rest on his laurels, Roth not only surpassed the great Earl Anthony's all-time PBA earnings record on the 1987 Fall Tour, but also added his 33rd PBA title in the Greater Buffalo Open and won the No. 7 PBA Invitational (not counted as an official PBA title) in Toronto a week later. Roth won PBA Player of the Year honors in 1977, 1978, 1979 and 1984. He won the George Young Memorial Award for the highest average on Tour in six different seasons, including a then-record 221.699 in '79. That same year Mark also won the "Great and Greatest" tournament paired with Don Ellis (also not counted as an official PBA title). Mark finished his career with 34 Tour titles and $1,619,136 in earnings.
He also owns two PBA50 Tour titles. On October 6, 2006, Roth won the very first Generations Bowling Tour event, defeating Dale Eagle in the final, 237-234, and averaging 241 over the three-game stepladder final. Despite the power he generated, Roth was also one of the best spare shooters of all time. He is notable for being the first bowler to pick up the 7-10 Split on television on January 5, 1980 at the ARC Alameda Open at Mel's Southshore Bowl in Alameda, California.[3] In addition, Roth utilized a unique delivery, primarily five steps, but sometimes six or seven steps.
Awards and recognition[edit]
- Four-time PBA Player of the Year (1977, 1978, 1979, 1984)
- Six-time winner of the PBA High Average Award
- PBA recordholder for most titles (8) in a single season (1978)
- Inducted into PBA Hall of Fame, 1987
- Inducted into International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, 1992
- Inducted into the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, 2014.[4][5]
- Ranked 5th on the PBA's 2008 list of "50 Greatest Players of the Last 50 Years"
- Mark Roth is the first and one of only 3 bowlers to make the 7-10 "bed post" split on television, along with John Mazza and Jess Stayrook. Roth is the only right hander to make the 7-10 on television; Mazza and Stayrook are lefties.
On June 4, 2009, Mark Roth suffered a stroke which has left him partially paralyzed on his left side.[1] His rehabilitation is ongoing, but Roth was seen in late March 2010 on his feet and moving around at the Geico Mark Roth Plastic Ball Championship, a PBA Tournament named in his honor.[6] Mark also made a special guest appearance at the "2nd Annual Upstate University Hospital - Strikes Against Stroke" at Flamingo Bowl in Liverpool, NY in May 2010. On March 6, 2011, as part of the 2011 Mark Roth Plastic Ball Championship, he rolled the honorary first ball for the televised finals and downed seven pins.
Personal life[edit]
Roth and his wife Denise[7] reside in Fulton, New York.[1] He is Jewish.[4][5] Mark is an avid model railroader. He also enjoys the New York Rangers, Mets, Jets, and Knicks.
In the media[edit]
- Roth makes a brief appearance in the bowling movie Kingpin, along with several other professional bowlers.
- Roth also appears in a 1979 episode of Fantasy Island along with fellow pro-bowlers Marshall Holman and the late Dick Weber. He plays an opponent of a 153-average bowler (Al Molinaro) fulfilling a fantasy to compete and win against professionals.

The U.S. Census Bureau was out Monday morning with its quarterly analysis of residential vacancies and homeownership, which showed little change of statistical significance in the former and a confirmation of the obvious in the latter.
The bureau said national vacancy rates in the first quarter 2009 were 10.1% for rental housing and 2.7% for homeowner housing. The rental vacancy rate was not statistically different from the first quarter 2008 rate or the rate last quarter (10.1%). For homeowner vacancies, the current rate was lower than the first quarter 2008 rate, but not statistically different from the rate last quarter (2.9% each). Still, it was nearly double the 1.5% rate posted in first quarter, 2001.
The homeownership rate was 67.3%, down from 67.8% in first-quarter 2008 but not statistically different from last quarter's rate (67.5%). Still, the number was down significantly from its peak of 69.2% set in the second and fourth quarters of 2004. Prior to the government promoted easing of standards of creditworthiness in the late 1990s, the rate had historically hovered in the 63% to 65% range.
The report also said total housing inventory increased to 130.4 million from 129.4 million in last year's first quarter, with approximately 85% of the housing units in the first quarter 2009 were occupied and 15% were vacant. The owner-occupied housing units were 57% of total housing units and renter-occupied units made up 28% of total housing units in first quarter 2009. Vacant housing units comprised 15% of total housing units, including 11% for year-round use and 4% for seasonal use. Approximately 4.15 million, or 3%, of the total units were for rent, up from 4.06 million in last year's first quarter, 2.1 million, or 2% were for sale only, down from 2.27 million in last year's quarter, and 7.5 million, or 6%, were vacant for a variety of other reasons, up from 7.5 million last year. The inventory data, is considered suspect by analysts because it is based on two-year old housing unit controls.
UB S analyst David Goldberg put out a research note stating, "We expected tosee a significant decline in for-sale and for-rent inventories, as: 1) anecdotalevidence suggested that demand is improving off better affordability; & 2) supplygrowth should have moderated given foreclosure moratoriums. Although inventorydeclined seq, it was down just ~102k units, a small fraction relative to the totalexcess, which we estimate at ~1.6mn homes."

'The Prize' and Facebook
The Prize, by Daniel Yergin is a great read. Before I explain further, the book is not about software at all. In a paragraph, I'll get to the software business parallels and ruminate about them. The book is about history, oil, economics, geopolitics. I'd highly recommend it for anyone interested in these topics. The author won a Pulitzer Prize, and is highly respected among many economists, including the esteemed longtime Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan. Agree with Greenspan or not on some issues, Yergin has respectable admirers related to his work.
Here is a summary of an excerpt in The Prize: Around 1865 when oil speculation was bubbling because of its discovery and the markets swelling around it (primarily lamp oil at that time), one farm in PA sold for $1.3 million because of the opportunity to mine oil. That's a lot of money back then. That's a lot of money in 2007. Less than a year later, the same plot of land sold for $2.0 million. …less than fifteen years later, after a recession and some fires, that same plot of land was sold…………………… for under $5. Five dollars.
With this blog as evidence, I love writing software. I love the software business, open source, etc -- every facet of this 'life'. It inspires me daily. I do it because I love to do it, and to a degree I can understand an emotional attachment to a piece of software built and grown.
Purely from an economic perspective on the individuals involved, Facebook in my opinion should be at least, in part, sold. With all due respect to the Facebook titans, I sure hope that Mark Zuckerberg and the Facebook officers have someone giving them perspective in what must be very difficult decisions. But why not sell half for $5 billion and write a new piece of software on your own island? There are plenty of ways to change the world. $5 billion in your pocket is a good start, especially when you are in your 20's. There is just as much glory in sharing the successes with a value added partner or partners. In my mind, Facebook is taking a substantial risk by not selling a large minority percentage at the recently reported valuations.

I agree HappyDude! I love her speaking voice too!
Keama Kim (pronounced Kee-Ma) says she's the quiet type. She likes to dress up when she goes out and shows off her fine, deep cleavage. Keama's hobby is collecting antiques, vintage clothes and other items. She claims she likes nerds. Her biggest fantasy is to be dominated by a tall stranger--something Keama lives out in this installment of Plump Desires. Ashley the pizza delivery guy serves that purpose. Keama hops on his lap so he can play with her 38F-cups and finger her sweet pussy. He sucks her pierced nipples. She kneels before him to squeeze her huge tits while sucking him hands-free, then she gets tit-fucked. Keama admitted that she likes being dominated and that a stranger could fulfill the kind of submissive fantasies she harbors.
