Title 13 published on 2015-10-16
The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 13 CFR Part 134 after this date.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2016-24231 RIN 3245-AG82 SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Proposed rule. Comments must be received on or before December 6, 2016. 13 CFR Parts 121 and 134 The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is proposing to amend the rules of practice of its Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) to implement Section 869 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016. This legislation authorizes OHA to decide Petitions for Reconsideration of Size Standards. This rule also proposes to revise the rules of practice for OHA appeals of agency employee grievances.

This rule is effective August 24, 2016. 13 CFR Part 121 The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA or Agency) is amending its regulations to implement provisions of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, and the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013. Based on authorities provided in these two statutes, the rule establishes a Government-wide mentor-protégé program for all small business concerns, consistent with SBA's mentor-protégé program for Participants in SBA's 8(a) Business Development (BD) program. The rule also makes minor changes to the mentor-protégé provisions for the 8(a) BD program in order to make the mentor-protégé rules for each of the programs as consistent as possible. The rule also amends the current joint venture provisions to clarify the conditions for creating and operating joint venture partnerships, including the effect of such partnerships on any mentor-protégé relationships. In addition, the rule makes several additional changes to current size, 8(a) Office of Hearings and Appeals and HUBZone regulations, concerning among other things, ownership and control, changes in primary industry, standards of review and interested party status for some appeals. Finally, SBA notes that the title of this rule has been changed.

FotoNation Inc., leaders in digital camera connectivity, announced today the expansion of their FotoDeveloper(TM) family of products, by adding Java implementation to the existing Windows and embedded solutions.
FotoDeveloper enables simple connectivity to more than 100 of the most popular digital camera models to any PC application, imaging peripherals and now, Java clients.
JCam (www.jcam.com), a pure-JAVA cross-platform software application for digital photography, developed by GESS Ltd., was one of the first products built on top of the Java FotoDeveloper. "JCam provides connectivity to a wide range of Digital Still Cameras on OS/2, Unix, Win32, Linux and Mac-PPC operating systems," said Dr. Peter Corcoran, CEO of GESS. "If you want to add digital photography into your application or appliance, then Java FotoDeveloper is the way to do it." The latest product to incorporate FotoDeveloper as the digital camera connectivity tool is Windows-2000 from Microsoft Corp. By including FotoDeveloper with the Windows-2000 OS, users will now be able to have direct connectivity to digital cameras from their operating system, enabling easy acquisition of digital photographs within their applications. FotoDeveloper(TM) is incorporated within insurance claim-estimation software from CCC information systems, (www.cccis.com) and is available for integration with printing solutions from Peerless Systems, (www.peerless.com) and as part of other imaging peripherals.
FotoNation's FotoDeveloper(TM) kit was formulated as a modular application, which allows effortless integration of new digital camera models without changing the core software. Because the digital camera market introduces new models very frequently, FotoNation is committed to constantly updating its library with the newest product releases.

#29 closed defect (wontfix)
Gecko caching is pretty broken
Reported by: | jg | Owned by: | blizzard |
Priority: | high | Milestone: | |
Component: | infrastructure | Version: | |
Keywords: | Cc: | jondo | |
Blocked By: | Blocking: | ||
Deployments affected: | Action Needed: | ||
Verified: | no |
Right now, when you use tabs, the Gecko web browsing engine used in Firefox (and Sugar), forgets to ever free any images out of its cache. So this is an out and out bug that needs to be fixed. Federico Mena-Quintero wrote this up in his blog last fall.
Furthermore, Gecko keeps three copies of the data around: the compressed image, an uncompressed image in Gecko's address space, and another as a pixmap in the X server.
This is silly beyond belief. To begin with, if gecko is running locally, moving the image from gecko to X should be blindingly fast using Linux domain (or TCP) sockets.
Given modern machines, if we had fast image decompression code, even a copy in Gecko's address space uncompressed is probably pretty silly, and/or could be computed for a page or so backwards in a thread if one wants forward/back to be blindingly fast. Optimizing this decompression code so that one would be happy to throw away the uncompressed image would be a great improvement.
So people helping out the Mozilla project in this area would make a major improvement, not only for OLPC, but for all Linux desktop users. This situation is so bad I've seen Firefox eat over half a gigabyte of RAM (half in Firefox, half as pixmaps in the X server) in a single day's use, causing paging.

comment:1 Changed 11 years ago by krstic
- Milestone set to rev1 final
comment:2 Changed 11 years ago by jg
This is a firefox problem, that is very important to OLPC and to everyone who uses a Linux desktop. We encourage people interested in OLPC and interested in Firefox to help get it fixed.
Whether this is formally "leaking" memory or just profligate use is a difference that makes no difference to us; don't get hung up on semantics.

Pros: Comfortable and geat sound
Cons: lacking bass before burn in and stock cable
I have had these headphones for around 3 years now and love them. When I first got them I admit the bass was a bit weak as most people point out but with some burn in they really started to liven up. They are also very comfortable, I can wear them all day with no discomfort and sometimes forget I even have them on. My only issue with them was the stock cable. The stock cable is quite long, not overly flexible and is terminated in a 6.5mm jack. All of these things combined make for uncomfortable portable listening. I upgraded the stock cable with a custom cable made by Double Helix and haven't looked back.
Highly recommended at a reasonable price.

Hey Everyone,
Every night I set up the alarm clock on my BB Strom.
Sometimes I leave it on, sometimes I switch it off.
For the 3 time the Storms battery was completely flat on the next morning.
This morning (after I slept for 5h) the alarm did not went off and I just looked a white screen saying:
App Error
If you press this button you initiate a soft reset and after ages of rebooting the phone tells you: Battery very low.
How is that possible that a sucks in 50% of battery in less than 5h even though it was switched off?
Firmware: 184.108.40.206
Alarmsound: BBGrooves_ something bla bla
Battery at least: 55%
All applications where closed as far as possible (z.B. Youtube)
Very good 3G/2G connection over night
Thank you very much
This is not unexpected.
If you're going to leave the phone on overnight, it probably ought to be connected to a charger (this gets it fully charged also). If you're using it as a bedside clock, the backlight is on (dimly, but on), so it will discharge the battery.
If this has helped, please click on the "Kudos" button... Thanks!
For that answer you should loose a kudos...
If they design a function to save battery life it is not the idea to connect it to a charger, is it?
Apart from that, the phone was switched off completely therefore no energy consumption at all!
But thanks for trying.
I'm sorry you feel that way, but the alarm clock can't work if the Storm is off.
You can turn the radio off and save battery, but in the "bedside mode" (the way many use the alarm clock) the backlight stays on. It isn't meant as a 'battery saver' it's a convenience designed to provide something akin to a travel clock.
When I use this mode, I do it with the charger plugged in and get a freshly charged battery every morning when the alarm wakes me up.
Perhaps I mis-understood your questions...
All applications where closed as far as possible (z.B. Youtube)
Very good 3G/2G connection over night
This does NOT sound like the phone was turned off. If you had very good 3G/2G connection, it doesn't even sound like you were in bedside mode.
Your phone was ON and by having the bedside clock on you're actually increasing the power consumption. As rredfox tried to point out, this is probably the time you should be recharging the phone.
Thanks for backing me up Lancent!
That is what I was trying to say, but guess I didn't make it clear.
01-05-2009 07:49 PM - edited 01-05-2009 07:50 PM
Since the day I got the Storm, I used to plug the charger during night (so that I have a fully charged battery for the next day) and turn on my alarm...it was fine. But, yesterday I checked this message and gave it a try buy not pluggin in the Charger.....Ooops...App Error..Reset...No alarm...but strangely, after the reset, the battery was the same as it was last nite....it didn;t even drain off completely.....Any one with similar issue?
It's not possible with this type of battery I don't believe.
I charge mine every night whether is needs it or not. My Storm use to barely get through 8 hours of use, now I can go about 20 hours of use before a charge is needed.
Charging the battery every night is just like brushing my teeth.. It has to be done!

The new 2015 Ferrari California T that will debut next month at the Geneva Motor Show is the first Ferrari since the legendary F40 to pack a turbocharged engine under the hood. While Ferraris of late have all been naturally aspirated (save for the hybrid LaFerrari), a handful of them back in the day featured forced induction.
Turbochargers fell out of favor at Ferrari in the early '90s, but with the new California T's 552-hp, 557-lb-ft 3.9-liter V-8, they're back with a vengeance. The question is though, will a pair of turbochargers make the California — and Ferrari as a whole — any better?
That's what we'd like to know for today's Thread of the Day. Do you think fitting turbochargers to its flat-plane V-8s, and possibly even to its V-12s, would make Ferrari better? Or do you think Ferrari should stick with making naturally aspirated engines. Share your thoughts with us below.

OUYA Android game console now up for pre-order on Amazon
OUYA, the Android-based home game console that took Kickstarter by storm, is now available for pre-order on Amazon for those who missed out on the campaign. The cost is $99 for the unit, which includes the OUYA console and one controller. The draw of OUYA is that anyone can develop and publish games for the console, and there's no huge financial barrier to entry for devs. This could mean that there will be just a bunch of random stuff, but it also means that you'll have more developers working on quality games--and for the first time on a home console, you'll likely see games as inexpensive as the ones you play on your iOS and other Android devices. OUYA is powered by a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor and 1 GB RAM with 8 GB of storage and 1080p output. Pre-order it now for $99 and it'll deliver in June, and don't forget to grab an extra controller.

Colorado has the most confident, intelligent, thoughtful, inspiring, dedicated, joyful, influential, resilient, adventurous, independent, gutsy, innovative, groundbreaking women in America. Meet them.
An Open Letter to the Women of Colorado
When Patricia Schroeder was elected in 1972, she became the first woman to represent Colorado in the U.S. Congress. Over her 24-year congressional career, Schroeder had a major impact on women's rights and family issues and gained a reputation for biting quips. She retired in 1997 and now resides in Florida, but the beach hasn't dulled her wit, as evidenced in this note to today's generation of women.
Dear Next Generation,
When I became co-chair of the Congressional Women's Caucus with Congresswoman Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) in 1983, we had a goal. We wanted to have as much done with regard to women's equality by the 21st century as possible. Sadly, despite more than two decades of work, we didn't get many of the things passed we had hoped for: equal pay enforcement, adding the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution, legislation giving women control over their reproductive health, and a family leave act to be proud of.
It took nine years—and a serious watering down—to pass America's Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), which I authored, in 1993. At the time, pediatricians said four months was the absolute minimum we should give women and men to bond with their children.
We got 12 weeks.
This year is the Family and Medical Leave Act's 20th anniversary. I was invited to Washington to celebrate its passage, but I refused to go. I am embarrassed this country only gives 12 unpaid weeks to women who work in companies that employ more than 50 employees. It's pathetic.
The Family and Medical Leave Act's passage did not stop American industry, as was predicted, and yet Congress still has not moved to increase the number of companies covered or increased the benefits. Work and family issues remain mainly "women's issues" in our country. Not so in others, where children are seen as the future, and people believe it's essential to invest in them with great family leave policies, childcare, college education, and medical care. In the United Kingdom, for example, every woman is guaranteed 52 weeks of family leave upon the birth of a baby, and, in many cases, 39 weeks are paid.
In America, we see your children as your problem. There have been many articles lately talking about couples deciding not to have children because of the financial stress it imposes. How is that good for America's future?
In 2020, we will celebrate women having had the right to vote for 100 years. But there is still much work to do. I collected some headlines from stories last year and changed the word "women" to "men." Take a look and tell me we women don't have any more work to do. I dare you.
Are Men Fit to Lead?…Kids Getting Fat Because Fathers Not Cooking Meals…Do Men Have Too Many Choices?…Kids and Career—Can Men Really Have it All?…Makeup Tips for Men Who Look Tired At The End of the Day…Single Men: They're Buying Homes and Working at Jobs But Are They Happy?…How Men's Liberation is Making Men Unhappy.
To the 20-, 30-, and 40-year-old women of today, it's time to hand you the torch. But are you ready to take it? Many of the young women I meet today remind me of women I met in Iran during a congressional visit in 1974. I asked these Iranians if they were worried about all the "noise" in the political arena about getting women back under control. They said the shah would never let that happen. He had Westernized the country, and they bragged they had better daycare and work family benefits. Well, their complacency blew up in their faces. Within years, they were being arrested if they were not fully covered outside of their homes.
Women's rights in America made terrific advances in the 1920s only to be derailed by the Depression. Then World War II brought all sorts of advances for women, only to be derailed by the 1950s. Just last year, many states undercut rights women had won, and Congress nearly killed the Violence Against Women Act. So, ladies, complacency is not a solution. Women must do what we did decades ago: Get into the debate, vote, and make your voices heard.
My generation did a lot of grading of the road to create equality for women. Now you need to pave it.
My Best,
Pat Schroeder

I was wondering, is it better to farm as high monster power I can in hell (approx. 7 or 8, maybe 9) or go for inferno with no monster power? I'm playing a barb with crappy gear, havent played since june.
the difference between MP1 Inferno and MP0 Inferno is neglegable.
Farm MP1 inferno for higher MF, and guranteed drops of abover Ilevel 58. till you're ready to move up an MP.
However items that drop can still suck balls.
As a barb I found that once I had about 300-400 resists and 40k dps with some lifesteal and life on hit, MP1 was easy. Grab a 2H with high damage, 5%+ life steal, +1200 LOH, crit damage if you can. Then get a belt with 3% life steal and try this build out. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculato...VRP!YZe!cZbZcZ The only thing it lacks is some mobility, but keeping up 5 stacks of frenzy for faster attack speed and more damage and keeping rend up on everything and using overpower and revenge whenever available will keep your defense, damage, and healing up as much as possible. Try to double stack physical resistance with resist all when you can, as the 20% reduced damage from non-physical from superstition passive is worth quite a bit of resistance for everything non-physical.

So, related question. What do you think would be the most efficient for gear-farming:
Act 1, MP 1, with zero MF gear (69% through paragon levels)
Act 3 0 MP, probably the same gear
Act 1, MP 0, jacked up MF gear, but lower damage
Pretty sure mp0 has 60-63 monsters and mp1 is all 63 monsters. They also said stats scale with monster level and I presume you get higher ilvl items from higher lvl monsters. Not 100% sure.
As someone with fairly good gear, I find farming mp1 far better than doing like mp7. The MF/GF just doesn't seem worth it when I can do like 4 runs vs. 1 run for only a 150% mf/gf increase.
When I get people back into the game, I give them about 1m, that's enough to buy an act 3 MP1 set as a barbarian. I would shoot for act 3 mp1 as quickly as you can.

Load up on max MF gear and do Nightmare on MP10. I seriously sell stuff in the level 20-35 range for 200-500k all day long. I guess people seem to be returning and have tons of gold to reroll new alts and twink them out. Just sold a pair of level 33 legs for 1 mil. Do that for a week then buy better gear.

The Chef: Joseph
The Menu: A health-promoting conglomeration of brown rice, black beans, corn, zucchini, garlic, onions, and spices, all topped off with fried onion crispy bits. Okay, so maybe fried onions aren't exactly what most people consider health food, but they do add a delicious crunch. In fact, we liked them so much we also generously portioned them onto our salads, which were mostly comprised of actually healthy items, like carrots and greens.
The Goods: It's definitely cold and flu season around the VNHQ, as evidenced by the fact that Joseph, who's usually excused from kitchen duty, has stepped in twice this week to take over for incapacitated coworkers. We're hoping that the imminent arrival of our January+February issue, in conjunction with Joseph's cold-fighting lunch, will miraculously rally our sickened spirits in time for a healthy weekend!

By all counts, 2012 was a success for SeekingBostonMarathon. I "punched my card" again for Baaahsten by qualifying and surviving the registration lottery gauntlet. I only ran one marathon in 2012 (Qualifying at the Colorado Marathon,) I ended my run season with a respectable showing at the Denver Rock and Roll Half Marathon with a 1:36 time (a course record for me.) Not bad considering I'd spent only a third of my time on running for five months after Colorado. Like last summer, I spent the Spring and Summer trying to learn this triathlon game. I was pleased with my triathlon season as I hit the podium in three out of four races and notched my first "First Place" at the Denver Triathlon. I was duly warned that should I try one (or TRI one,) triathlon I'd be hooked. So true. I now have two addictions (marathon running and triathlons) that I can put in print.
In other words, I left October oozing with confidence, but November and December were marked with sporadic training (with little running) due to my "off season" and health issues. The later was nothing major other than a six week sinus infection battle and leg pain that lead to an MRI. Good news is both seem to be behind me with a green light from the ortho to train for Boston (see "Bone Up" post.) Only problem once I got the Doc's clearance? I had little base in terms of running mileage and I'd started three weeks late based on my typical 18 week training plan. Starting late, no coach, no plan, no problem...right?
Au contraire monsieur.
While I've eased into my mileage, I'm in the thick of training. Nothing has been too daunting until this morning. My plan called for six miles of hills...at 10K pace. Double whammy. While I shouldn't expect too much considering the above, a number of thoughts and let's call them "doubts" entered my mind. My brain was trying to overcome my tired and untrained body and several sound bites passed through my head.
"Virgin territory."
"Just like riding a bike."
"I'm in way over my head."
"We're gonna need a bigger boat."
A SBM sticker for the reader that can name the movie from the last quote, but it's similar to the one above it. I thought, this is only a six mile run and I'm in week four (or was it weak two) of my training plan, and this run is kicking my ass. #arghh
Granted, this wasn't perhaps my smartest move, by picking the route I did, but travel plans in the afternoon meant running something close to home for the early morning run. Nothing is flat where I live, and I picked probably the second hilliest route I run. No pain, no gain, right? I completed the run with respectable numbers as I stuck to the 10K pace part with 456 feet of climb and an average overall pace of 7:37. Deceiving time as I treated them as 1/2 and mile intervals. As one of my run club coaches often told us, no one gets a medal for a training run. No medal for me, but it certainly tested my mettle.
In my first marathon, I didn't know any better when I trained. I was hurt, sore, tired, but didn't know what to compare it to. That all seemed to get better with each marathon I trained for. At least I knew what to expect and my body over time became accustomed to the rigors of being a marathon runner.
That all seemed to "go out the window" as I've felt as if neither my body nor my brain is prepared to take on Boston with all the above against me. What I have learned is that running is a numbers game, and that if you put in the work, you should see improvement. Also, for every ugly run you hate, there's usually one you love right around the corner. Hoping my old bones can get me around that corner.

The 2012 Aventador is the latest, greatest supercar offering from Lamborghini. It is the company's first new model in eight years and serves as a replacement for the Murcielago. The car is a tour de force of technology and internal combustion, and it ups the ante in the supercar field. Few other cars exist in the stratosphere of performance and exclusivity in which the Aventador lives. The McLaren MP4-12-C costs less, but it has four fewer cylinders and can't match the Aventador for performance. And while the Bugatti Veyron nearly doubles the power, it also quadruples the price. So looked at that way, the Aventador seems a downright performance bargain.
The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 is a new model for 2012. The 6.5L V12 supercar boasts a carbon fiber monocoque chassis with aluminum front and rear subframes, as well as a carbon fiber and aluminum body.
Lamborghini's 2012 Aventador LP700-4 is the Bolognese carmaker's latest scissor-door, mid-engined supercar. The sleek, sharp-edged machine cuts a sinister profile that says much about its capabilities on the road. The stiff monocoque chassis is made entirely of carbon fiber-a Lamborghini first-and the body is a mix of carbon fiber and aluminum, with a three-position rear wing that deploys at different speeds.

The fresh pain of her mother's death. The burden of raising her sisters while her father struggles over his brokeback farm. The mad welter of feelings Mattie has for handsome but dull Royal Loomis, who says he wants to marry her. And the secret dreams that keep her going: visions of finishing high school, going to college in New York City, becoming a writer.
Yet when the drowned body of a young woman turns up at the hotel where Mattie works, all her words are useless. But in the dead woman's letters, Mattie again finds her voice, and a determination to live her own life.
Set in 1906 against the backdrop of the murder that inspired Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy, this coming-of-age novel effortlessly weaves romance, history and a murder mystery into something moving, and real, and wholly original.
©2003 Jennifer Donnelly; (P)2003 Random House, Inc., Listening Library, An Imprint Of Random House Audio Publishing Group
"Donnelly's characters ring true to life, and the meticulously described setting forms a vivid backdrop to this finely crafted story. An outstanding choice for historical-fiction fans." (School Library Journal)
"In an intelligent, colloquial voice that speaks with a writer's love of language and an observant eye, Mattie details the physical particulars of people's lives as well as deeper issues of race, class, and gender...Many teens will connect with Mattie's deep yearning for independence and for stories, like her own, that are frank, messy, complicated, and inspiring."

"Well written fiction for adults and adolescents"
I liked this book before I bought it because I'm familiar with the time and place in which it is set. But to my very pleasant surprise, I found that the real interest that this book holds is the way the author captures the process of discernment -- how we direct our own lives. How do we know what to do with our lives? Which promises do we have to keep and which ones can we break when circumstances change? The portrayal here of the process of moral deliberation really resonated with me, and I'm 42 -- well past the point of wondering what to do with my life. But I think adolescents will really get a lot out of this book. I expect my 9-year-old daughter will enjoy it in five or six years. (My son, not so much -- but maybe I'll change my mind about that as time goes by.)
"Good listen"
I loved this book. It has enough mystery and intrigue to keep the adult listenter interested, but is also suitable for the younger listener as well. Highly enjoyable.
"Excellent !"
A wonderful coming-of-age story incorporating a true-life crime as a backdrop. Hope Davis reads this beautifully.
"Gilded Age Honesty"
This was a great story, historical fiction set in a wonderful and realistic Adirondack setting. Truly enjoyable.
This is an incredibly engaging story about a very real family. The descriptions of the time and places are wonderful. The characters are brought to life brilliantly by Hope Davis. You want to cheer for Mattie. She is brilliant. Part of it is based on a true story which adds another dimension. I was sorry when it ended.
"a northern light"
This is the best book I have listened to in years. Would like to hear more of her stories.
"I wish I could meet Ms. Donnellly"
I never review a book before finishing, but I'm up at 1 am, unable to turn my speaker off.
Once I started reading her books I knew this was another Elizabeth George or Kate Morton.
I really like the way she is telling this story in little blocks of different times in the character's life. Not historical, like months ahead or back. So, I'm up trying to find out how blah blah happened when blah blah happened so emphatically!
Every now & then a true talent comes along. I am so happy I discovered this author.
"An Adirondack Story"
I love the Adirondacks, and this is a great Adorondack story, both capturing the history and the essence of the area..
Mattie Gokey is the lead character. She would have to be the favorite character, Her friend Weaver complements her in many ways and is also a well developed character.
When Mattie finds out that her family is sick and finds them all in very poor condition was one of the most moving sections of the book.
"Great story!"
The main character of Mattie kept me enthralled.
Fair and Tender Ladies for believable, strong female characters in a time period book.
I loved them all.
It made me so sad for Mattie and her circumstances at times. At others I was so happy for her and especially when Royal gave her butterflies.
Can't wait to find other works by this author.

I hope to make more friends who want to learn Chinese.
Help support your Meetup
As many of you know, there are several different Chinese meetup groups in New York. At most of these meetups, speakers of all levels are welcome. This means that quite a large percentage of the conversation tends to be in English.
To learn and improve, it's necessary to immerse oneself and not to feel as if you can just switch to English anytime you want. I have started this meetup to create a place where intermediate, advanced, or native speakers can go and speak entirely in Chinese. Sure, you can translate a word or explain something complicated in English if necessary, but other than that, we're keeping it entirely in Mandarin.
You should join this group and come to this meetup if you can have a basic conversation in Mandarin, if you have lived or traveled in a Chinese-speaking country for some length of time, if you have studied Chinese in school or on your own for a while, or if you are a native speaker. Basically, you should be able to speak Chinese to some extent already if you show up here. The whole goal is to keep the role of English as absolutely minimal as possible when we meet.
That being said, if you are intermediate, don't be intimidated. I myself am hardly fluent, but if you have the basics down and want to improve your vocabulary and natural speaking, the best way to do it is to force yourself to use what you know and expose yourself to things you don't!
If you're not sure whether it is right for you, just ask.

I've been working as a software engineer at Google for about three years.
This is absolutely not the case, at least with my experience on my particular project. I feel like I am treated well, and we're not stack-ranked in any way that I'm aware of. My manager exercises discretion with letting people into the project and almost everyone I work with makes decent progress adding new code to the project and the code is of decent quality with relatively few problems in production. I feel privileged to work with the people around me for 40 hours each week at this point in my life.
I know this is pretty much a vague anecdote but I'd be happy to answer any questions or explain further.

That's why Google developed F1: The fault-tolerant relational database over Spanner. This database provides a traditional schema without named rows, and supports transaction-based relational SQL queries. Very interesting: http://research.google.com/pubs/pub38125.html

I'm using Centos 5.3 in a university lab. The outdated nature of this Linux has been pretty frustrating - it's almost impossible to install anything new. I couldn't put Google Chrome on here, for example, or a recent version of The Gimp.
I just put Firefox 4 on here and it's damn sexy. It performs great, it was easy to install on the Linux box, the graphics are much nicer than FF 3, it gives RAM back to the system when I close tabs. There's less chrome so I get more browsing space on my monitor, without sacrificing any functionality at all. Bravo, Firefox team.
The problem is that it doesn't solve a problem that anybody really seems to have - there's little demand for higher performance apps in the browser.
I think the coolest potential for this idea is to recompile existing well-written native applications (e.g. photo editors, IDEs) so that they run from the browser with exactly the same appearance as their native counterparts. This would bring the idea of a thin client laptop computer that runs a web browser only closer to reality.

What makes you assume Apple won't switch to ARM sometime in the next couple years? They dumped PPC for X86 due to the more favorable power/performance ratio. It's only natural to assume that when high-powered ARM processors appear, Apple will switch to that architecture without a moment's hesitation.

Dave says:
I added the following line to the file product.rb
in the app/models
validates_length_of :title, :minimum => 10
To find the syntax, I looked up the method on http://api.rubyonrails.com You may add an alert message:
validates_length_of :title, :minimum => 10, :message => "at least 10 characters"
Ana says:
You can also use an already implemented error message by using :too_short instead of message. So you can also write:
validates_length_of :title, :minimum => 10, :too_short
Florent says:
validates_length_of :title, :minimum => 10, :too_short
did not work for me (with Rails 2.3.2), I got in my browser the error /depot/app/models/product.rb:5: syntax error, unexpected '\n', expecting tASSOC
I had to specify a message for :too_short:
validates_length_of :title, :minimum => 10, :too_short => "must have at least %d characters"
Max says:
I'm not sure about the old version of Rails, but you can completely bypass the ":too_short" part, leaving:
validates_length_of :title, :minimum => 10
Claudio says:
In Rails 3 you can now use:
validates :title, :length => { :minimum => 10 }
Dominik says:
At first I tried:
validates :title, :length => {:greater_than_or_equal_to => 10}
but it didn't work.
This one works:
validates :title, :length => {:minimum => 10}
André says:
Added validation to class Product:
validates :title, :uniqueness => true, :length => {
:minimum => 10,
:message => 'must be at least ten characters long.'
Added validation test:
test "product title must be at least ten characters long" do
product = products(:ruby)
assert product.valid?, "product title shouldn't be invalid"
product.title = product.title.first(9)
assert product.invalid?, "product title shouldn't be valid"
Is this the right approach?
Andrew says:
Added almost the same validation to class Product as André
validates :title, :uniqueness => true, :length => {:minimum => 10}
But I used the following validation test instead:
test "title is at least 10 characters long" do
product = Product.new(:price => 9.99,
:description => "yyy",
:image_url => "zzz.jpg")
product.title = "This is an acceptable title"
assert product.valid?
product.title = "So is this"
assert product.valid?
product.title = "not this"
assert product.invalid?
assert_equal "is too short (minimum is 10 characters)",
product.errors[:title].join('; ')
I like the succinctness of André's unit test.
Doc says:
A minor tweak to the model validation to provide message consistency in the event the length validation is changed.
validates :title, :uniqueness => true, :length => {
:minimum => minimum = 10,
:message => "must be at least #{minimum} characters."
Charles says:
Combining Doc's and Ana's solution works.
validates :title, :uniqueness => true, :length => {
:minimum => 10,
:message => :too_short
(You'll get a message that reads "Title is too short (minimum is 10 characters)".)
Peter says:
I half-like André's approach: product.title = product.title.first(9)
The problem with this is that the value of the invalid length is hard-coded here in the test method, and not derived from the value stored elsewhere in the validation rule. Two places to maintain the same value (well, n_ and _n-1).
As a noob, I experimented with something like (Product.validates_length_of.minimum – 1), but that didn't fly. Does anyone here know the syntax to achieve this?
DaveB says:
Would the following be a good unit test for this addition given you used the approach provided by Charles?
test "product is not valid without a title of at least 10 characters" do
product = Product.new(:title => "blah",
:description => "yyy",
:price => 1,
:image_url => "fred.gif")
assert product.invalid?
assert_equal I18n.translate('errors.messages.too_short',
:count => 10), product.errors[:title].join('; ')
product.title = "This is longer than 10 characters"
assert product.valid?
Manuel says:
When implementing the Tests for this, remember to update all the other Tests to match the new title length requirement!
Xiaojun sas:
After adding verification for the title length, I got an error message saying "fred.jpg" should be valid. Looking into the code, it's interesting to see the actual cause of this error—the title for the test product is too short.
Adding assertions like new_product(name).errors[:title].any?
will help find pinpoint the error…. its fun!
Ingo says:
Same with me: I added the length limitation correctly but then got an image – validation error like "fred.jpg" should be valid. Took me two hours to figure out whats going on since i meanwhile changed some other things… :-(
Adrian says:
Another example (Ruby 1.9 hash style):
validates :title, uniqueness: true, length: { minimum: 10 }

I'm used rails 4 and did it like this:
validates :title, uniqueness: true, length: {
minimum: 10, too_short: "must have at least %{count} characters"
And the test came up like this:
test "product title must be at least 10 character long" do
product = Product.new(
title: "Some Title",
description: "Some description",
price: 1.99,
image_url: "some.png")
assert product.valid?
product.title = "Any Title"
assert product.invalid?
assert_equal ["must have at least 10 characters"], product.errors[:title]
But I'm still looking for a way to avoid the hard coded size in the test error message.

Central American photography exhibit reveals "personal vision"
Some stuck point-and-shoots in their back pockets and others toted high-end cameras over their shoulders as they traveled through Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras. The three-week summer course offered by Union College allowed students to take two of three classes: Travel Writing, Field Biology or Travel Photography. At the end of the trip, each photography student submitted a set of prints for the exhibit "Central America: Varied Visions," on display in the McClelland Art Gallery from Aug. 17-Sept. 6.
"There was an emphasis on personal vision," said Bruce Forbes, associate professor of art and graphic design. "I wanted them to find what they were interested in and good at shooting."
And they found their niche. Stephen Wasemiller focused on light and architecture, particularly proud of a night shot taken outside of an Italian restaurant. Laura Hanson, a newcomer to photography, enjoyed capturing the flowers and greenery that surrounded her.
The photographs include a large degree of diversity in techniques, equipment, experience and, of course, perspective. "Their work exceeded my expectations," Forbes said.
The McClelland Art Gallery is in the Ortner Center on the Union College campus, 3800 S. 48th Street. Enter the campus from Prescott Avenue. The art gallery is free to the public and open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, contact the Ortner Center at 402.486.2545.

The doors also get new chrome trim inside and out.
The Outlander Sport is offered in well-equipped ES and premium SE trims. All Outlander Sports are powered by a 148-horsepower, 2.0L DOHC 4-cylinder engine. On ES models a 5-speed manual gearbox is standard, while a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is optional.

"Oh, when will they ever learn? Oh, when will they ever learn?" -- Peter, Paul and Mary
By the time you read this, U.S. missiles and bombs may be falling on Syria. Why? Syria hasn't attacked us. It does not pose a security threat to the United States.
These were arguments made against the Bush administration's intervention in Iraq by some who now urge us to make war on Syria.
Secretary of State John Kerry, who as a senator was for the funding of U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, before he was against it, says the United States is certain that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has used chemical weapons on his own people, thus crossing a "red line" established by President Obama. Never mind there were similar reports in June that al-Assad had used chemical weapons. This time it means war! Weren't we told of the "certainty" that Saddam Hussein had chemical weapons?
Have we learned nothing? The future of Iraq is in doubt after a huge American investment of lives and money. Ditto Afghanistan. After U.S. help in toppling Moammar Gadhafi, Libya is anything but stable. Egypt is in turmoil after the Obama administration backed its Muslim Brotherhood-controlled government, whose leader and elected president, Mohamed Morsi, has been ousted by the military.
What makes anyone think bombing Damascus is going to bring positive change?
President Obama has not asked Congress for permission to attack Syria, as President Bush did before attacking Iraq. He hasn't gone to the feckless United Nations, because Russia and China have announced they will veto any resolution authorizing military force. The president doesn't appear to have established anything like a "coalition of the willing," as President Bush did with Iraq. Britain is with us, as usual, and France has pledged support, but what about the Arab World? The Saudis may be quietly helping, but that appears to be about it.
What's the endgame? If by some miracle al-Assad and his leadership are hit by a missile, how do we prevent al-Qaida, present in Syria, from seizing power? There is a secular faction in Syria, but given the strength of Islamic fundamentalism throughout the region it is doubtful they will play a role.
Misjudging the Middle East has been a bipartisan experience. Hillary Clinton displayed a shocking lack of judgment when she said on CBS's "Face the Nation" two years ago: "Many of the members of Congress of both parties who have gone to Syria in recent months have said they believe (al-Assad's) a reformer," meaning I suppose he might be better than his father, who killed an estimated 25,000 of his fellow countrymen when his power was challenged. Two days later Secretary Clinton attempted to walk back her comment, saying she was not speaking for herself or the Obama administration.
In 2007, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) visited Syria against the wishes of the Bush administration. She said, "The road to Damascus is a road to peace." That "road" appears to have developed a giant sinkhole.
If the only reason for U.S. intervention in Syria is humanitarian, where is the constitutional justification for that? There are many other inhumanities throughout the world. Congo is one. As Jeffrey Gettleman noted last December in The New York Times: "Congo has become a never-ending nightmare, one of the bloodiest conflicts since World War II, with more than five million dead." We're not intervening there.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll has found that just 9 percent of American respondents favor U.S. military intervention in Syria.
Iran has threatened to strike Israel if the United States attacks Syria. There is grave danger, including possible terrorism, if we attack Syria. When will we ever learn?

Film Review: "Pariah" and the Untold Stories in Black Cinema
It's hard to portray adolescence in film without nostalgia or fantasy. Adults would rather remember their teenage years as better than they were, and teenagers are always trying to escape their own suffering. Dee Rees' Pariah, a kind of emotional autobiography of a young Brooklyn teenager named Alike (Adepero Oduye) who is navigating her coming-out process, captures adolescence in all its awkwardness and tragedy like few films in recent memory.
Oduye is a master of conveying startling sincerity without earnestness, and her portrayal of Alike demonstrates how the utterly specific can be entirely universal. That's essential, because Pariah is almost as much a film about growing up as it is about growing up as a lesbian in Brooklyn. Alike is almost as much of a pariah at home hiding her sexuality from her parents as she is at the strip club, surrounded by women in Starter jackets tossing crumpled bills at bare flesh. Early on, we watch Alike literally put her closet back on as she rides the bus home from the club, slipping off her jersey to reveal the pink shirt with the sparkly writing underneath. Alike is stuck being neither what other people want her to be nor who she wishes she was—which, in a broad sense, is exactly what adolescence is.
Rees knows about her subject's struggle. Though Rees (who wrote Pariah while working as an intern on Spike Lee's Inside Man) is originally from Nashville, Tennessee, she told an audience at an early screening of Pariah at Washington DC's E Street Cinema in November that her coming out took place at least partially while she was living in Brooklyn. "When I went to my first lesbian club I felt like I wasn't hard enough to be a butch, but then I wasn't soft enough to be femme," she explained. "I felt like I was caught in the middle of somewhere so I felt kind of invisible, and that is Alike's struggle as well." She was always certain that coming out was about more than simply discovering she was attracted to women.
"It was clear that I loved women, that wasn't my question," Rees said. "My question was more how to be."
"How to be" is Pariah's central concern as well, and all else—even New York City, which too many directors use as a sort of visual MSG to add depth and flavor to bland stories—takes a back seat. If not for the tells—the accents, the trash cans on the sidewalk, the ambient sound of the elevated train—you wouldn't actually know Pariah takes place in New York. You don't see a skyline until the penultimate scene in the film. Instead, Rees' camera maintains an unbroken intimacy with its subjects—especially Alike, who is caught in what Rees calls a "tug of war" between a best friend who "is trying to impose a way of being on her that is not really her" and "a mother who wants her to be a different way that is not her either."
Alike knows she is a lesbian. She does not need to get used to it, and she does not need to admit anything to herself. It is the rest of the world—from her fearful and lonely religious mother to the liquor store clerk scowling at women in durags to the pretty girl who dismisses the idea of a relationship because she is not "GAY gay"—who have what we might call "issues." Alike is not coming to terms with being a lesbian—the world is coming to terms with her being lesbian. Pariah is moving in no small part because of its timeliness—the opposition to the gay rights movement in America longs for a past when society might have shamed gay people into invisibility. They know that time will never come again, yet, like Alike's mother, they cannot bring themselves to accept the simple, devastating truth that, as Alike quietly says, "there's nothing wrong with me."
The film has a gentle didacticism to it—its politics are obvious, and there are few mysteries about where the characters are going. The clueless and controlling parents, the doomed first romance, the confusing, porous walls of best friendship with those from whom we might want more—all of this is familiar. Nevertheless, Pariah doesn't feel as typical or preachy as it should, because of Rees' direction, Oduye's performance, and a cultural context that rarely makes it into movie theaters.
Pariah's unique milieu is most apparent in how Rees' movie seems unconcerned with white people. Her cinematic eye rarely leaves the faces of its subjects, let alone the Brooklyn neighborhood where Pariah takes place. That focus is an implicit reminder that although black people's relationship to white people remains a central drama in American film, it is not necessarily all that central to how most black people actually live their everyday lives. Perhaps the only explicit reference to whiteness in Pariah comes when the old "flesh colored band-aid" joke is repurposed to new meaning and hilarious effect.
It's hard to remember the last good black coming-of-age film that was not a mere exploration of human misery. Pariah has almost nothing in common with the mainstream black films of the past two decades, most of which consist of romantic and ensemble comedies with bloated casts containing as many random celebrities as actors. It also doesn't quite fit with prior critically acclaimed bildungsromans made by African-American directors, most of which have focused on the bleakness of ghetto life and the bloody yield of the illicit drug trade. Have any film characters suffered more than the black children of American cinema? When not being shot to pieces by gangbangers (Boyz in the Hood) or raped by their HIV-positive parents (Precious), they're being given away to live with white families, which is apparently the only place they can find happiness (The Blind Side). It's not that these sorts of films never ring true—it just seems they're the only kind being made.
There is joy in being young and black, though evidence of this in American cinema is difficult to find. You can only watch The Wood or Love and Basketball so many times. But even in a story about an adolescent caught in the ebbing tide of American homophobia, Rees and Oduye manage to get that joy across. Pariah leaves you aching, not only because of the story it tells, but because it whispers softly of all the stories that haven't been told.
