MaSU Work Group Releases Findings

MaSU Work Group Releases Findings
BISMARCK, N.D. - A work group appointed to study the financial situation at Mayville State University issued its final report today, including a number of short and long-term recommendations designed to put the university back on solid financial footing.
Working at the direction of North Dakota University System Chancellor Robert L. Potts, the group of University System personnel concluded MaSU has a bright future and strong backing, both on the campus and in the community. The work group was formed in April 2006 after a financial review caused concern for the university's financial viability, a situation that has been exacerbated by sharp increases in the cost of fuel oil used to heat campus facilities.
"The State Board of Higher Education is committed to maintaining the financial and educational viability of Mayville State University," said Pam Kostelecky, SBHE president. "We want Mayville State's faculty, staff and students and the surrounding communities of Mayville and Portland to know the board will work with them through these issues."
"I am so pleased with the results of the work group," Potts said. "Their thoroughness and willingness to work with the stakeholders in this process have made me very comfortable forwarding their recommendations to the State Board of Higher Education for review and approval. "
"Chancellor Potts asked us to develop a plan to foster the long-term fiscal stability and viability of the institution," said Dave Clark, chair of the work group and executive vice president at Bismarck State College. "A plan has been developed, and the work group was very impressed by the dedication and commitment of Mayville State's cabinet, faculty and staff and the community during this process."
"Mayville State University is appreciative of the guidance provided by the work group," said Dr. Gary Hagen, MaSU vice president for academic affairs and interim president, effective July 1, 2006. "We look forward to implementing their recommendations, and we believe the course of action they have laid out will bring financial stability to the university."
Key recommendations include proceeding this fall with a search for a new MaSU president, as well as $803,120 in reductions to the general fund/tuition budget and $455,000 in additions to the same budget. These additions include creating a new controller position to assist the vice president for business affairs whose office was determined to be understaffed. The report also recommends a review of academic and athletic programs, consistent with the mission and long-term financial resources of the institution; consideration of requesting a special legislative appropriation to study energy utilization and space needs; and significant reporting and accountability measures to monitor implementation of the plan over a period of four years.
In addition to Clark, work group members included Tamara Barber, North Dakota University System director of financial reporting; Jim Wigtil, Valley City State University interim vice president for academic affairs; and Greg Weisenstein, University of North Dakota vice president for academic affairs and provost.
The MaSU work group report is available on the NDUS Web site with the June 30, 2006, SBHE meeting agenda.

Beating Specialist Baker
Prügel für den Stabsgefreiten Baker
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
prison abuse scandal refuses to die because soothing White House
explanations keep colliding with revelations about dead prisoners and
further connivance by senior military officers — and newly discovered
victims, like Sean Baker.
If Sean Baker doesn't
sound like an Iraqi name, it isn't. Specialist
Baker, 37, is an American, and he was a proud U.S. soldier. An Air
Force veteran and member of the Kentucky National Guard, he served in
the first gulf war and more recently was a military policeman in
Guantánamo Bay.
Then in January 2003, an
officer in Guantánamo asked him to
pretend to
be a prisoner in a training drill. As instructed, Mr. Baker put on an
orange prison jumpsuit over his uniform, and then crawled under a bunk
in a cell so an "internal reaction force" could practice extracting an
uncooperative inmate. The five U.S. soldiers in the reaction force were
told that he was a genuine detainee who had already assaulted a
(Den folgenden
Bericht gab Baker einer Fernsehstation aus Kentucky)
"They grabbed my arms, my
legs, twisted me up and unfortunately one of
the individuals got up on my back from behind and put pressure down on
me while I was face down. Then he — the same individual — reached
around and began to choke me and press my head down against the steel
floor. After several seconds, 20 to 30 seconds, it seemed like an
eternity because I couldn't breathe. When I couldn't breathe, I began
to panic and I gave the code word I was supposed to give to stop the
exercise, which was `red.' . . . That individual slammed my head
against the floor and continued to choke me. Somehow I got enough air.
I muttered out: `I'm a U.S. soldier. I'm a U.S. soldier.' "
Then the soldiers noticed
that he was wearing a U.S. battle dress
uniform under the jumpsuit. Mr. Baker was taken to a military hospital
for treatment of his head injuries, then flown to a Navy hospital in
Portsmouth, Va. After a six-day hospitalization there, he was given a
two-week discharge to rest.
But Mr. Baker began
suffering seizures, so the military sent him to the
Walter Reed Army Medical Center for treatment of a traumatic brain
injury. He stayed at the hospital for 48 days, was transferred to light
duty in an honor burial detail at Fort Dix, N.J., and was finally given
a medical discharge two months ago.
Meanwhile, a military
investigation concluded that there had been no
misconduct involved in Mr. Baker's injury. Hmm. The military also says
it can't find a videotape that is believed to have been made of the
Most appalling, when Mr.
Baker told his story to a Kentucky reporter,
the military lied in a disgraceful effort to undermine his credibility.
Maj. Laurie Arellano, a spokeswoman for the Southern Command,
questioned the extent of Mr. Baker's injuries and told reporters that
his medical discharge was unrelated to the injuries he had suffered in
the training drill.
In fact, however, the
Physical Evaluation Board of the Army stated in a
document dated Sept. 29, 2003: "The TBI [traumatic brain injury] was
due to soldier playing role of detainee who was non-cooperative and was
being extracted from detention cell in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, during a
training exercise."
Major Arellano
acknowledges that she misstated the facts and says she
had been misinformed herself by medical personnel. She now says the
medical discharge was related in part — but only in part, she says — to
the "accident."
Mr. Baker, who is married
and has a 14-year-old son, is now unemployed,
taking nine prescription medications and still suffering frequent
seizures. His lawyer, Bruce Simpson, has been told that Mr. Baker may
not begin to get disability payments for up to 18 months. If he is
judged 100 percent disabled, he will then get a maximum of $2,100 a
If the U.S. military
treats one of its own soldiers this way — allowing
him to be battered, and lying to cover it up — then imagine what
happens to Afghans and Iraqis.

What has me excited is that they will continue this each year with each movie as it comes out, which means to me that almost everything we have ever wanted will eventually get made. These figures all look amazing and while most people are TPMed out it fills a ton of much needed holes. It is also odd they ignored 2 figures from the ToyFare 09 poll when choosing this stuff in Tey How and Kitster/Wald

Roy & Dana's Modern With Vaulted Ceilings Kitchen
Vaulted ceilings in any room of the house are coveted by many and especially in the kitchen. The tall ceilings make the kitchen feel grandiose and a place you want to be. That said, Roy and Dana have beautiful vaulted ceilings with wood beams in their modern kitchen that I just absolutely love.
Besides the vaulted ceilings, their modern kitchen is quite fantastic. The brightly colored backsplash wraps the entire way around the kitchen, stopping for nothing and that's a unique feature. The colors they chose for the backsplash work really well with the cherry cabinets and stainless steel appliances.
When facing the stove you can actually see into the living room and that's a wonderful feature of this kitchen. That way, you can still interact and communicate with loved ones while whipping up something delicious!

Whats the best/cheapest way to get "doctoring" kits to add the off flavors to beers? Ive been wanting to do this for a while now.
Very helpful information, thanks everybody! Anyone else glad it's Friday?
I don't see any new information since December 2011 regarding those BJCP judges who've reached the "Certified" level. Do they need to first take the sensory portion of the exam and hope to score above 80 before they can retake the written portion of the exam? thanks.
I'm wondering if there are folks out there that have taken the Better Beer Scores online course and subsequently passed the BJCP exam? Testimonials? I read the ones on the the Craft Beer U site but none mentioned exam success that they attribute to the course. It looks like a pretty good and convenient program.
We are in contact with our alumni to report to us their exam results, but at present, very few have actually taken the exam. None have received their scores yet (to my knowledge). I will check with my partners and post back.

Part-time student employment in the library
The Library is seeking several student employees to provide reference services on Saturday and Sunday beginning Spring semester. Training will be provided. If you are interested, contact Keith Ann Stiverson, Director of the Library, at firstname.lastname@example.com, phone 906-5610.
The library is working to create a new website with better search tools and a more user-friendly style. We'll have the new site up officially in early 2009, but you can try it now on our test site: http://librarytest.kentlaw.edu/
You can start with that link, or you can watch a video we've put together: Library Video Tour. The video will take you through some of our new tools step-by-step. Check the "scenes" and "links" buttons on the side to see sections of the video or get links to particular pages.
Not sure where to get started? Our favorite new tool is the improved Electronic Resources page. Now you can search for favorite databases with instant results or "drill down" - just like on Best Buy or Amazon – to find sources by topics or types of resources (like legal forms, Industry Profiles, etc.)
If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to send me an e-mail or use the suggestion box on the test site. We're still building new pages and adding content, so if you can think of anything else that would help make it easier to use, we'd love to hear your ideas.

How do movies or television shows affect how the average American views and understands the legal system? Conversely, how has pop culture changed the way lawyers structure and present arguments?
Research into the intersection between law and popular culture--not only the way the law is perceived but also how lawyers are perceived--is increasingly important in an age where Americans are both watching more TV and movies and filing more lawsuits. This online guide, written by DTC librarians, provides books and articles useful in researching law and popular culture. With the guide, you can also keep track of our newest additions to our Law & Popular Culture collection, link directly to our library catalog or the I-Share catalog to request books, and discover which movies made the ABA Journal's 25 Greatest Legal Movies.

General Library Policies
Library Rules
While using the Downtown Campus Library, please observe the following rules and polices:
Guard Your Valuables
Please guard your valuables when using the library! Recently, two wallets were reportedly taken out of student backpacks which were left unattended. Thefts of this nature are usually the result of an opportunity the victim gives the offender. Eliminate the opportunity, and you can eliminate the crime! Please protect your valuables.
Courteous Behavior
Please respect the rights of others who wish to study and work in the Library. Keep your study area neat and clean. Walk quietly through study areas. Don't block pathways with your laptop cord (plug it in under your table). Erase the whiteboard/chalkboard in your study room when you leave. Don't move the furniture around. Keep your feet on the floor, not on the chairs. Generally, treat others the way you wish to be treated.
Food and Drink
You may bring any drink into the Library. We ask, however, that you pick up after yourself and use the appropriate recycling bin. Food is never allowed, so don't bring it into the Library.
Noise & Cell Phones
Please respect the other patrons in the Library and whisper quietly if you need to communicate with others in the library. Please do not use your cell phone in the Library, computer lab, or study rooms. If you need to make a call, take your cell phone outside the Library or into one of the stairwells. Keep noise levels down on personal music devices, and always wear your headphones. If noise in the Library is bothering you, inform the Circulation Desk.
Unattended Belongings
Please do not leave your personal belongings unattended. The Library is open to the public and thefts, while not frequent, have occurred. Belongings that are left unattended will be taken by security. If you are missing any personal items, please tell the Circulation Desk on the 9th floor as soon as possible so that security can be notified.
Use of Library Materials
Please handle all library materials with care. Refrain from writing in or marking-up library materials. If you cannot reach a book on a shelf, please ask a member of the library staff for assistance. Move unwanted library materials to a re-shelving area or return to the Circulation Desk. Do not "hide" library materials in the stacks. If a book that you are using is damaged, please let a member of the staff know; most of the time, we can fix the problem. Please remember that library materials are for the use of everyone.
Other Reminders
Please do not sleep in the Library.
The DTC is a smoke-free campus.
No pets are allowed in the Library.
Persons under the age of 18 should be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times.
Please do not disturb the "Emergency Heat" switches located throughout the Library.
Members of the public who do not follow these rules may be asked to leave and/or barred from the Library; students may be referred to their academic dean for appropriate disciplinary action.

In a spirit of friendly debate let me answer some of Nick's objections. He takes a more optimistic view the last decade of medical education, arguing that for some time after the Flexner report medical education remained dogmatic, only in more recent years embracing the rigorous scientific principles of evidence based medicine (EBM). While this popular view of medical education would seem to be in diametric opposition to what I said, it's not so simple.
He writes:
So, if you subscribe to Dr. Donnell's narrative, you'd be inclined to believe that for nearly a century, physicians were consistently trained to critically evaluate scientific literature. You would think the tests that they employed, and the therapies that they prescribed, were based on a strong foundation of supporting evidence.
In fact, this was not the case. Medical education was dogmatic after Flexner. However, instead of calling upon the wisdom of the ancients, or their chakras, doctors relied on animal physiology experiments and the observations of a few brilliant, dead clinicians.
The treatments that medicine espoused throughout the 20th century had a basis in science, to be sure, but whether these therapies were really helping patients was unknown -- and often not even properly studied.
Unknown? What about antimicrobial agents, vaccines and CPR? Granted, clinical investigation early in the 20th century didn't meet the standards of EBM as we know it today, but this was not the result of mainstream medicine's adherence to dogma. According to M.L. Meldrum's fascinating paper on the history of the randomized controlled trial, efforts were made in the early 20th century to garner evidence on the clinical effectiveness of therapies but they were beset with lack of funding and organization. The American Medical Association, at about the same time it helped commission the Flexner Report, began initiatives aimed at the evaluation of drug effectiveness, including publications such as Useful Drugs. Controlled studies became increasingly common in the 1930s. The publication in 1935 of Fisher's The Design of Experiments was a landmark development in the progress towards clinical trials. In the late 1940s shortages of streptomycin allayed ethical concerns about randomized trials of this agent in the treatment of tuberculosis. These examples from Meldrum's paper comprise just a portion of the time line of advances in clinical investigation in the first half of the 20th century.
When I was a medical student in the early 70s many randomized clinical trials including the University Group Diabetes Program study, the Coronary Drug Project, the Lipid Research Council trial, several early hypertension trials and the early coronary artery bypass trials, early trials on anticoagulation for myocardial infarction and thromboembolism were completed or underway in planning or implementation. Although the term "evidence based medicine" was not popularized until 1992 history shows that throughout the 20th century medicine was indeed gradually becoming more and more evidence based.
Nick goes on to criticize what he apparently believes to be an over emphasis in 20th century medical education on the basic sciences:
Of course, medical school also emphasizes scientifically determined biochemical pathways, with their opportunities for intelligent drug interventions. However, upon entering the wards, a significant student function is to push fluids and dole out cold remedies. Which ones? How much? Until recently, there was little scientific guidance for these decisions; students learned to simply do what their mentors and colleagues were doing.
No wonder CAM gained a foothold. If students were being made to learn arcane trivia and give time-honored but untested therapies, why not invoke energy fields and pressure points?
Well, the reason why not should be obvious.
The principal point of his argument is that medical education in the last decade has advanced critical thinking and evidence based medicine, not pseudoscience:
Students are now trained to critically appraise the literature. They can determine likelihood ratios for a diagnosis on the basis of a test result, and calculate how to properly judge a new therapy. They can point out the inherent biases and methodologic shortcomings in a study. Equipping future doctors with the tools of EBM has encouraged critical thinking about the way medicine is practiced, and has helped expose the inadequate underpinnings of 20th-century medicine's diagnostic and therapeutic modalities.
But recent surveys suggest that's not true. A recent study published in JAMA demonstrated that medical house staff had a very poor working knowledge of the quantitative aspects of EBM. Here's a link to a study showing a lack of proficiency among medical house staff in EBM searching.
So, there's reason for concern that while medical schools talk a good game about EBM they're not very effective in teaching it. But more striking to me is the irony of teaching EBM alongside the uncritical promotion of pseudoscience.
Orac weighs in here about the Roundtable.

Today, primary care health services are predominantly provided by physicians within a contextual framework that emphasizes the authority and expertise of the practitioner, focuses on disease and disease categories, encourages episodic care, and promotes the underlying assumptions of the biomedical model: objectivism, determinism, and positivism. These assumptions, although unknown to most practitioners, exert a compelling influence on the practice of primary care.
In brief, objectivism asserts the unqualified and exclusive validity of sensory based observations that are considered to be untainted by subjectivity. The observer is believed to be independent of his observation and science is seen to be non-relativistic and extra-cultural. Determinism is the belief in a direct linear upward chain of causality linking a singular cause to its specific effect, the process of reductionism. This view underlies the "gold" standard in scientific research, the clinical controlled experiment in which a single variable is manipulated while all others are kept constant. Positivism is the view that the ongoing accumulation of data from sensory based experiments will provide us with a progressively more accurate and life enhancing understanding of nature.
It is the premise of this paper that the meaningful integration into our health care system of holistic principles and complementary healing practices will require a fundamental re-orientation of our current approach to primary care. To do otherwise would more than likely result in a distortion and corrosion of holistic principles, a reduction of complementary practices into disease oriented treatment modalities, and a corrupting influence on the alternative practitioner whose practice style would invariably fall under the hegemony of the reimbursement system and the biomedical world view. Complementary approaches will invariably be re-shaped to conform to the contextual framework of biomedicine rather than extending and expanding this framework. Stated in another way, the existing system will change the alternatives rather than the alternatives changing the system.
There are ample examples of this for us to draw upon. In the 1970s John Travis1 initiated the wellness movement. His conceptual model was educational in orientation and based on the principles of psycho/social/spiritual development. Immersed in the context of our scientific world view it was quickly reframed in a manner that exclusively emphasized its most physical and material aspects: smoking cessation, exercise, and nutritional changes. The core and soul of this model was lost through its integration into our contemporary context. Much the same can be said regarding the concept of holism. Holism, a concept which is based on an expansive view of the human experience, emphasizes the essential and irrevocable interaction of mind, body, and spirit.2 In the context of our cultural paradigm, the concept of holism has been distorted and mistaken for alternative treatment practices. Although a practice may derive from a conceptual framework that is more or less holistic, the actual practice, as integrated into our culture, is most often used as a reductive treatment practice oriented towards repair and restoration of function. Holism is not a practice. It is a perspective.
These concerns are hardly hypothetical. They are occurring now as alternative and complementary practitioners are progressively incorporated into managed care reimbursement plans. In general, conventional reimbursement systems do not reimburse for a specific approach, for example, chiropractic or acupuncture, but rather, for the treatment of a particular disease category: lower back pain in the case of chiropractic and chronic pain and addictive problems in the case of acupuncture. The existing biomedical context reduces these approaches to disease oriented treatments and jettisons their holistic context. Unknowingly, practitioners, appreciative of having accomplished their long sought after goal of acknowledgement and reimbursement through the health care insurance system, have failed to see the subtle and insidious distortion that lies in wait for them and their practices as they are "mainstreamed" by the insurance system, a fate only too well known to conventional medical practitioners.
No effort to transform and expand the current health care model can succeed without a shift in the underlying world view that drives our current medical model.3 The primary care practitioner who, as a result of managed care initiatives, is emerging as the initial contact point for clients, the "gatekeeper" for external medical resources, and, in participation with the client, the orchestrator of an individualized health and healing process, is the central figure in the changing medical paradigm. The perspectives and attitudes of this individual will largely determine the content and character of health care.
An Integrated Healing Model
A re-orientation of primary care must begin with a shift in the existing world view of objectivism, determinism, and positivism. A reading of history, past and contemporary, and an understanding of current cultural trends clearly indicates that we are moving towards a new world view, a paradigm shift, that can be characterized by the emergence of a set of assumptions that are better matched to the needs of our time.4 These assumptions are: dynamism, holism, and purposefulness. In brief, dynamism is characterized by the view that human life is a vital process of growth and development resulting from the ongoing interaction and adaption of man to his changing environment. This perspective asserts that the human condition cannot be exclusively understood through the accumulation of static data which deny the influence and validity of psycho/social/spiritual and environmental influences. Holism is the term we use to designate the viewpoint that life is a natural, organized, and unfolding process that consists of constituent elements bound together from the very beginning in a unitary whole. Life cannot be constructed by the mere summation of its individual elements. Purposefulness express the view that intentionality and meaning can be found at all levels of the human experience.
Based on this world view we can devise an integrated healing model which can serve as the theoretical basis for a re-invention of the primary care process.5 This model, figure 1, is based on systems theory.6,7 It asserts that the human healing system is composed of four distinctive interactive sub-systems each with their own mechanisms, capacities, and resources. Taken together, these four sub-systems become the basis of a complete and vital healing system, qualities that resides in the total system rather than in any one of its constituent parts.
The homeostatic healing system is our most basic healing system. It is built-in, auto-regulating, and natural. This system evolved over millennia to support the living conditions of our primitive ancestors. Invariably, it breaks down when exposed to the conditions of urbanized life. Treatment systems are a reactive response to the failure of these natural healing mechanisms, and in the best scenario, should support our natural homeostatic mechanisms. Treatment systems are oriented towards the repair and the restoration of normal function. The authority and expertise lies with a professional whose practices usually involve external agents of one sort or another. The mind/body healing system is proactive, self-initiated, and directed towards the expansion of consciousness and the achievement of autonomy, an event that is heals both our psychology and physiology. Finally, the spiritual healing system relies on the emergence of a transcendent perspective which in and of itself can heal by spontaneously re-organizing both our psychology and physiology.
This inclusive and integrated model assists the primary care practitioner and his client in understanding and using both conventional and complementary approaches within a contextual framework that embodies a new and more expansive world view. Vertical movement within each healing sub-system extends the resources of that system, for example, the expansion of the treatment system with the addition of complementary therapies. Horizontal movement across the four sub-systems emphasizes the holistic perspective that is embedded in this model. Any of the sub-systems taken alone are inconsistent with the living process, taken together they constitute the essence of natural living system: dynamism, holism, and purposefulness.
The Primary Care Practitioner
As we re-consider the role of the primary care practitioner within the contextual framework of an integrated healing model, it becomes evident that there must be a defining shift in the relationships, perspectives, and practices that constitute the elements of primary care. This includes: a renewed emphasis on the quality and character of the diverse relationships related to the healing process - the relationship of the practitioner to himself, his client, other practitioners, and the community-at-large, and a careful balance between reductive and holistic perspectives. Primary care becomes more integrative and person-centered in contrast to fragmented and disease centered.
The diagnostic process expands to include a concern with psychological, spiritual, community, and environmental issues.(FIG. 2) In this manner the diagnostic process becomes inseparable from the substance of the practitioner-client relationship. The "medical history" is more a sketch of the unique story line of an individual's life, than a standardized check list of symptoms. This reflects an acceptance of an concern with the subjectivity of each individual's unique circumstance. The expanded practitioner-client relationship becomes a larger context within which the traditional diagnostic results are interpreted and acted upon. For the primary care practitioner the art of healing which is embodied in the healing relationship re-emerges to balance and provide a context for the technological and reductive aspects of healing.

|I loaded this in a 25-06. It shot very well but I was disappointed in the on game performance. I shot a whitetail buck at 200 yards. It died but it hit the shoulder and the jacket split to the base and shed. I was not impressed. Needs to be a heavier jacket in the shank.

|I shoot these out of my custom 250 Savage. I have shoot many whitetail deer with these bullets. I have never recovered a bullet, all were complete pass throughs even at the longer ranges; 200 + yards for this rifle. Accuracy has always been great. I average 3/4" groups at 100 yards. Excellent bullet!

Part of the desire for this is to overcome a current weakness in the VCF's delegate design. Currently we can only accept function signatures of the type:
void MyFunction( Event* e );
A new design would allow us to have arbitrary function signatures, which makes it easier to use.
The first thing I wanted to address is making delegate's work with any kind of function signature instead of just limiting people to passing in a single. My major constraint was that I wanted it to work with version 6 of the Visual C++ compiler, which, while I know it's old now, alot of people still use it (myself included), and I wanted to have a stab at making things compatible with it. With that in mind here's a stab at it:
class CallBack {
virtual ~CallBack(){}
String name;
class delegate {
~delegate() {
bool empty() const {
return functions.empty();
size_t size() const {
return functions.size();
void clear() {
std::vector<CallBack*>::iterator it = functions.begin();
while ( it != functions.end() ) {
delete *it;
void add( CallBack* callback ) {
std::vector<CallBack*>::iterator found =
std::find( functions.begin(), functions.end(), callback );
if ( found == functions.end() ) {
functions.push_back( callback );
void remove( CallBack* callback ) {
std::vector<CallBack*>::iterator found =
std::find( functions.begin(), functions.end(), callback );
if ( found != functions.end() ) {
functions.erase( found );
std::vector<CallBack*> functions;
This is a base class for our delegate, it handle adding/removing our callbacks. The callback is started be defining a base class for a callback method. It has a single member, a string with the name of the callback method (or some name). This lets us store a generic base pointer to the callbacks. The delegate holds N number of callbacks, and a callback is some specific class that wraps a function pointer of some sort. The specific class of the delegate will then invoke all of it's function callbacks.
Now what we want is the ability to specify the function signature, something like you find on other signal/slot libraries. This means we need to use templates, with definitions for each number of template arguments, i.e. a specific delegate class for function that have 2 arguments, one for no arguments, and so forth. In addition, we need to distinguish between functions that return a value, and functions that don't. Hearkening back to my ObjectPascal days, I'll refer to functions that have no return value as Procedures and functions that do have a return value as Functions. Not only do we need to distinguish between return or no return values, thanks to various quirks in C++, we also need to distinguish between whether the function pointer that we wrap is a static function
void MyFunction( int i, double d );
or a class function (a method, or member function of a class)
void MyClass::MyFunction( int i, double d );
So let's look at an attempt to define a function that 1 argument, and no return type.
template <typename ParamType1>
class NullClassType1 {
void m(ParamType1){}
void m(Thread*, ParamType1){}
template <typename P1>
class Procedure1 : public CallBack {
typedef void (*FuncPtr)(P1);
Procedure1(FuncPtr funcPtr):staticFuncPtr(funcPtr){}
virtual void invoke( P1 p1 ) {
if ( NULL != staticFuncPtr ) {
(*staticFuncPtr)( p1 );
FuncPtr staticFuncPtr;
template <typename P1, typename ClassType=NullClassType1<P1> >
class ClassProcedure1 : public Procedure1<P1> {
typedef void (ClassType::*ClassFuncPtr)(P1);
ClassProcedure1(ClassType* src, ClassFuncPtr funcPtr):Procedure1<P1>(),classFuncPtr(funcPtr),funcSrc(src){}
ClassProcedure1(ClassType* src, ClassFuncPtr funcPtr, const String& s):
name = s;
virtual void invoke( P1 p1 ) {
if ( NULL != classFuncPtr && NULL != funcSrc ) {
(funcSrc->*classFuncPtr)( p1 );
ClassFuncPtr classFuncPtr;
ClassType* funcSrc;
The above code declares two main classes. The first works as a wrapper around procedures (or functions that return no value/void). It has one method used to invoke the function pointer the class wraps. The method is declared as virtual so that in can be overridden in a subclass.
The next class provides a wrapper around a class function, and re-implements the virtual invoke method of it's parent class. This let's us have a base pointer which can be used for either type of function pointer, and makes the delegate implementation easier to handle because now it can handle either type of function wrapper seamlessly.
So, we have functions wrapped up, lets look at our delegate class:
template <typename P1>
class Delagate1 : public delegate {
typedef void (*FuncPtr)(P1);
typedef Procedure1<P1> CallbackType;
Delagate1<P1>& operator+= ( FuncPtr rhs ) {
CallbackType* cb = new CallbackType(rhs);
add( cb );
return *this;
Delagate1<P1>& operator+= ( CallBack* rhs ) {
add( rhs );
return *this;
void invoke( P1 p1 ) {
std::vector<CallBack*>::iterator it = functions.begin();
while ( it != functions.end() ) {
CallBack* cb = *it;
CallbackType* callBack = (CallbackType*)cb;
callBack->invoke( p1 );
The main features of the delegate class are that it lets us add functions in two ways: by a direct function pointer, or by as class instance of a callback. The first method let's us write code like this:
void MyCallback( int i )
printf( "Hello from MyCallback. i = %d\n", i );
Delagate1<int> d1;
d1 += MyCallback;
The other way we can add callbacks, especially callbacks that wrap a class function/method, is like so:
class Snarfy {
void thisBlows( int g ) {
printf( "Hello from thisBlows! i: %d, this ptr: %p\n", g, this );
Snarfy sn;
Delagate1<int> d2;
d2 += new ClassProcedure1<int,Snarfy>(&sn,&Snarfy::thisBlows,"Snarfy::thisBlows");
Previously we wanted to have callbacks as a general class, something that we could identify by name, without having to know the specific class type. However we still need to invoke the callback methods. Because our delegate class has the same function signature template types, we can safely cast the generic callback type to the right template function class type. You can see this occur in the implementation of the delegate's invoke() method. Because we made the function class's invoke method virtual, the correct method will be called for either type, static or class function.
Now we have delegates and callbacks, that can be invoked like so:
d2.invoke( 100 );
A fancier implementation allows us to have delegates that take functions that return values, like this example:
bool funcWithReturnVal( const String& str, double d )
bool result = true;
printf( "duhDoIt() %s, %0.5f, returning %d\n", str.ansi_c_str(), d, result );
return result;
Delagate2R<bool,const String&,double> d3;
d3 += funcWithReturnVal;
bool result = d3.invoke("Hola", 120.456);
This returns the result of the last callback that was invoked in the delegate's list of callbacks. We can get all the results that were returned like so:
for ( int i=0;i<d3.results.size();i++ ) {
printf( "d2 results[%d]: %d\n", i, (int)d3.results[i] );
Now we have delegates reasonably defined, and they should work on most compilers, VC6 or better, GCC, Borland, et al. Now lets look at async delegate invocation.
To fire off the callbacks asynchronously
Next was to try and implement a specific type
Thanks to the site http://www.bedaux.net/cpp2html/ for C++ to HTML formatting.

Moss believes F1 is less fun without risking life and limb
Legendary driver Sir Stirling Moss has bemoaned the fact that Formula One has become so centred on safety, claiming that is has fundamentally altered the sport. "The concept has changed, that's a shame, because we had fun risking life and limb and that's gone now, really... In my opinion, if you don't want to take risks, play tennis."
20 July 2012 - Source
mschumi Michael Schumacher
Far be it from me to criticise a... oops... zero-time world champion, but spare us the 50-year-out-of-date opinions.
moss Stirling Moss
Tallyho chaps. I do say, I rather prefer that we raced like gentlemen and dressed like gentlemen, spiffing polo-shirts, fine Italian leather driving gloves, and maybe a scarf if one felt a chill in the air.
mschumi Michael Schumacher
I think I'll stick to my fire-proof racing overalls thanks Stirling. Mrs. Schumacher would prefer that I don't come home with skin from my left arse-cheek grafted to my nose.
moss Stirling Moss
Balderdash Michael, one can not present oneself in such hideous attire when one is busy chasing crumpet after the race. I say old chum, one can't be doing with losing to a lady. About time you got the better of that tasty teammate of yours wouldn't you say, Nicola is it not?
mschumi Michael Schumacher
Oh you mean Britney, maybe all that hairspray confused you too but apparently my teammate is a man, although we may subject him to the Olympic gender tests to make sure. He's hardly in the mould of the great Silver Arrow drivers of the past.
nico Nico Rosberg
Actually Michael, having learned from your invaluable teaching it was I who ended Mercedes win drought and brought the first victory for a Silver Arrow since the days of Sir Stirling.
mschumi Michael Schumacher
Can it Britney, why don't you and Stirling go add up all the world titles you have. To use a tennis analogy, Love all.
fernando Fernando Alonso
Actually Michael, perhaps we should tell Moss that far from a risk-free activity there is one F1 driver who had his career effectively ended by a tennis incident.
jpm Juan Pablo Montoya
I did wented and played the tennis dude, made gone wide on the court-side and done badded my shoulder, total bummer.
moss Stirling Moss
Good grief young man, I haven't the foggiest notion what it is you are talking about. Get some elocution lessons in the Queen's English like a good fellow.
MycLaren Martin Whitmarsh
It is the view of the McLaren corporation that Juan's injury may have been complicated by the fact that sources tell us he hurt his shoulder while endeavouring to play tennis on a quad-bike.
jpm Juan Pablo Montoya
I didded break my f**king shoulder with the f**king tennis thing, f**king McLaren be done worser than f**king Williams.
mschumi Michael Schumacher
Pull the other one burger-boy, judging by your waistline the only time you ever saw a tennis court was on your Wii.
ej Eddie Jordan
I'd like to say if I may that I think it is a disgrace that former drivers of the stature of the legendary Stirling Moss can spout about bringing back danger to F1 when the concept of the sport is to be the fastest, not to get hurt, especially given the magnificent progress in safety. When will Ferrari do the right thing and hire Mark Webber? Finally, I'd like to add if I may that I think we need to get the risk factor back in F1 to appeal to the fans who are bored with the ultra-safe run-off areas, and we need to get more high-profile ex-drivers to support the cause, because with all due respect Stirling isn't even a World Champion.
JakeHumphrey Jake Humphrey
Interesting points as ever Eddie. By the way guys, I won't be with you for Hockenheim because of the Olympics but it's not important, we're not even showing the race live. Remember you can still tweet me, remember me guys.

Wow Jake, I didn't know you were competing in the Olympics.
MBrundle Martin Brundle
For God's sake David, Jake is acting as an anchor for the Olympics, not competing, just like you do for the F1 races.
DC David Coulthard
I couldn't compete in F1 Martin, it's way too fast, I think I could run in the Olympics though, I saw that video with all the guys running really slowly on the beach.
MBrundle Martin Brundle
Jesus, you won 13 F1 races David. You must be thinking of the slow-motion scenes in Chariots of Fire, it's actually about real athletes who competed 88 years ago.
DC David Coulthard
Well I could definitely run in slow-motion faster than them Martin, and I don't think it was 88 years ago, I saw it on telly last month.

Greetings everyone. I would like to know if there are any practicing Buddhists on this forum. If so I would sincerely love to hear more information from you. I'm especially interested to hear from anyone who converted to Buddhism after coming to Korea for the first time. At this point, I don't have any plans to become Buddhist, but I've been researching and investigating further and gosh darn it, a lot of it is clicking with me. Anyway, any thoughts or further input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Anyway, I was intrigued to find that Yahoo has a Buddhist chatroom in its list of chatrooms. I went on and, aside from some guys trolling for chicks and vice versa, which you find on all those chatrooms and can just ignore, it was really interesting. Just a warning: most of the people I encountered were really really knowledgable. I couldn't follow some of it. One guy was doing a PhD in some Buddhism-related subject. Anyone, it might be fun for you to check out, and even if you feel it was a waste of time it only takes a couple of minutes to dash into the room and dash out again. Don't forget, tho, that most people are on North American times. Cheers.

I had been hoping to find other Hindus here with whom to hold satsangs, etc - but of course, the Indian population isn't very big in Seoul. Heaps of Bangladeshis and Pakistanis though, for any aspiring Muslims. You should visit (if you haven't already) Jogyesa Temple in Insa-dong. It's really beautiful. A word of advice though - if you're not comfortable sitting in the prayer hall, it's probably best not to. The last thing you want to do is come across as some insensitive tourist and disturb people while they're praying! (Not that I'm impyling you would; you know.) I'd love to read a thread on Buddhism (with a few Hindu quips thrown in from me ).

This one is Hwagyesa, which has a foreigners' meditation and talk on Sunday afternoons starting at 1pm. The subway stop is Suyu on Line 4. They have a website so check that out so you know how to get there. There is another place in Gwacheon (advertised in the Korea Herald) which has a special group for foreigners but I haven't been there and Jogyesa (in central Seoul) but I haven't been to a foreigners' meeting there either (if there is one). If you have any questions, just post them.

Kylie in secret London pub gig
Kylie Minogue has surprised her fans by showing up for a secret performance in a London pub.
The pop princess shocked the crowd when she turned up to The Old Blue Last in Shoreditch to sing a set of three songs at the boozer's Kylie-themed night.
Drinkers were already enjoying Kylie karaoke and Kylie bingo when the Voice judge arrived herself and took to the stage with a troupe of dancers in skimpy outfits.
She performed two tracks from her latest album Kiss Me Once - new single Into The Blue and album track Les Sex, as well as crowd-pleasing hit Can't Get You Out Of My Head.
The singer had an image change from her look on The Voice, with her hair in a straight bob with a heavy fringe and wearing a black feathered mini dress.
She later tweeted: "Thanks to the pub, The Old Blue Last in London for a GREAT night!! Kylie-Karaoke, Bingo & #KissMeOnce photo booth!"
