Before we enter the discussion, please accept the following: in this article I'm not giving any opinion on topic of software freedom or openness. Neither I discuss the pros and cons of UNIX way and WYSIWYG. All the words concerning these issues are just describing the situation, but never expressing any attitude.
Linux's success
Now the Linux-based operating systems are rising. Linux is being run on numerous systems from Internet servers to employees' and home users' desktops. More and more companies (or even administrative bodies) are moving to Linux. Many well-known software vendors abandon their previous system software projects in favour of Linux (as Novell and PalmSource did) or enter the OS market with new Linux-based solutions (just like Oracle). Many of software developers or even software houses (like Sun) port their core applications and services on Linux. Linux is widely recognized as successful project and reliable business platform.
The Linux advocates are trying to make us think this process shows the success of Linux and respectively UNIXes victory over Windows and fellows. Is it really so?
My answer is: no.
Linux was just one of the numerous projects, which happened to rise due to being distributed as Free Software and supported by FSF. This sort of publicity made it possible to start several commercial projects (namely Red Hat, SuSE, Mandrake and some Debian derivatives) based on Linux. The rise of free-of-charge Linux-bases system attracted the views of software vendors who started sharing the benefits of Linux's publicity by contributing to the project.
Being opposed to Microsoft's monopoly over the system software market Linux had to keep competing with its rival. While the customers believed the desktop software to be exactly what Windows was, the vendors started to invest the projects that shared theses views. Ever since Linux was becoming more and more like Windows, providing the same user experience and utilities resembling those of Windows and fellows.
The GNOME project is a good example. Being initially intended to provide the IBM OS/2 user experience it gained vendor attention. When the project's officials started to state that the next goal of the project was the Windows UI, it became the default desktop in some commercial distribution (including Red Hat), and the GNOME adoption fastened when the developers starter to decrease the features amount, making it really no more difficult to customize than Windows' Shell32 UI.
The situation is fundamentally bad. Do you want to know why? Stay tuned.
The matter of OS choice
The user would never mind the operating system he uses. The computer is simply a tool for completing the user's tasks, so the only valid factor to be taken in consideration while choosing the operating system is the default set of approaches. That's to say your system must provide you with the instruments most compliant with your mindset and your way of acting.
This time we have another issue that is taken in consideration by some of us: the freedom, that is delivered to us by the software. Those who believe that the software they use should be easily customizable and modified choose among the open source operating systems. Those, who think that the user must be given the freedoms to use program any way he feels appropriate, to share it without charging the fee for such sharing and to make his modifications of the program accessible to general public, has to choose among the so-called Free Software operating systems.
Currently only several UNIXes are both Free Software or open source ideology compliant and stable enough to be used in mission-critical systems, so no choice is left for the open source and Free Software followers. But this situation is starting to get better: the ReactOS, Haiku and GNUstep projects are being actively developed, so we are about to see the Free Software operating systems in style of Windows, BeOS and MacOS X respectively.
This time we have two different styles of operating available: WYSIWYG and non-WYSIWYG (I can't recall any good all-known word for it and don't want to introduce my own term). The first one is the natural domain of Microsoft Windows, Apple MacOS (including OSX) and BeOS (now ZETA). The later once used to be the default UNIX's style. Things changed dramatically since.
The WYSIWYG and traditional UNIX way to accomplish the task are incompatible. WYSIWYG (acronym for What You See Is What You Get) introduces user to a graphical environment, where the result of every manipulation is displayed as it would be seen in result. For example you are shown the document and you see how it would look like. But there is no room for logical structure of document in the case of WYSIWYG software. The other way puts it different: you are presented to a plain text document with the markup describing both logical structure and formatting, but you are not given any idea about how that all would look on paper.
I don't know for sure whether it's really more handy for an average person, or it just has much better publicity, but WYSIWYG is currently widely recognized as the preferable way, making WYSIWYG implying operating systems most popular. As I mentioned above, commercial Linux distributions' default UIs followed the successful WYSIWYG styles. Being promoted as cheaper alternative solutions they pretend to give user the same level of usability and productiveness as Windows while being similar enough to make user transitions nearly seamless.
So, we are having Linux in position of WYSIWYG-implying operating system. Well, MacOS X in its turn is actually a desktop environment based on UNIX-like Darwin operating system. But the way OSX wraps the underlying OS makes me feel comfortable while excluding OSX from UNIXes list. It would even be reasonable to state that if Apple decides to move OSX from Darwin to some totally different non-UNIX-like platform, the users won't feel the difference. But Linux is really UNIX, and unlike MacOS X Linux doesn't really try to hide away the UNIX nature of the system, although the percentage of UNIX-styled software decreases dramatically.
Anyway, the idea of Linux as UNIX-based Windows clone feels optimistic for everyone except for UNIX way zealots. But if we take a closer look, we'll find that this model leads Linux to ruin.

Temp gauge is in the head. I always ran an aftermarket Stewart Warner in the intake close to the water outlet, mechanical gauge. 180 thermostat would always give me 180, no more. Check your fan clutch, run a dose of cleaner through the whole system, dump and refill with 50-50 Prestone or equivalent. Older radiators over time will build up an incredible amount of scale in the lower tubes: if you haven't rebuilt the core, you might do so if all of the other remedies don't affect it. Drop in a new thermostat when you clean the system, and always run a thermostat - the restriction it offers to water flow slows down the flow enough to let it pick up more heat for transfer at the radiator. After you have checked all of the above, get yourself an inexpensive infrared handheld thermometer and check the radiator, engine block and heads for hot spots. Rebuild your water pump if you're unsure of it - sometimes the impeller can wear down and lose efficiency over time. You can also use "water wetter" additives, that allow the water to pick up more heat as it flows through the system. Did you use block off plates for the heat riser ports on the manifold gasket ? I always do to keep the temp away from the carb and gas. Check your mixture, especially if you are running a working A.I.R. pump - too lean on today's gas can make 'em run hotter, too. One thing I hate is an engine to run warm - I don't like to think of what heat does to an engine for life expectancy - Regards -
John Z has a good article on cooling systems in this site.
If it isn't puking any water, I'd change the coil. This sounds like a classic case of the ignition coil overheating, then working once cooled down. Just a thought and good luck.
smog pump or AIR system not working properly, etc.? It was a hot day, in the low to mid 90's. None of my other cars, or truck, put out anywhere near the heat that my '69 Z does. And yet the temp gauge still reads fine; could the temp gauge be inaccurate?

Repetier-Host works -- Server doesn't
Hi. After some successful tests of the Server from an old Win7 system, I'm trying to move to a Linux system that is much faster. Host and Server both installed fine. Host accesses the printer fine directly over the /dev/ttyUSB0 connection. However, even though Server is running (obviously, I test this when Host isn't connected!) Server does not appear to communicate with the printer at all (e.g., no LED activity on the printer board). I can access Server on that system via a local or remote browser, but no matter what I do there's no evidence of Server even trying to talk to the printer on that USB port (and dmesg confirms it is the correct port). Yet again, Host can talk to that printer perfectly well from the same system on /dev/ttyUSB0. Any ideas? Thanks!
Re: Repetier-Host works -- Server doesn't

Teams migrating to agile from waterfall have a significant learning curve to overcome, so they tend to adopt some of the easier to manage practices first (like the daily standup, time-boxed iterations, and reflections to name the some of the typical ones). If they do not tackle practices like regularly having working software, getting to "Done!" every iteration, and not accumulating debt, then the benefits realized will likely be somewhat minimal. Stated a different way, if a team's agile adoption does not produce some clear improvements in a timely fashion, then the team is not likely to make the effort to continually get better.
A sure sign of this "stagnant" situation is teams who are doing "waterations." Waterations are iterations that look like mini-waterfalls. They typically start with design in the first couple of days, then proceed to coding for a number of days, then followed by testing, and so on. Teams that operate this way don't normally get to "Done!" until the last day of the iteration (if they get there at all).
To get real benefit from adopting agile -- and make sure that it "sticks," teams should move beyond just the basics and continually look to adopt the more rigorous practices. For example, keeping debt at or near zero throughout a project, a concerted "whole team" focus where progress is measured at the team level instead of at the individual level, coding and testing being done throughout an iteration instead of being separated into phases within an iteration, having comprehensive "Done!" criteria and sticking to it, as well as others will help teams realize more significant benefits. We'll be addressing each of these topics in future posts.

"The first killer app was VisiCalc. This early spreadsheet turned the Apple II from a hobbyist toy to a business computer. VisiCalc came with room for improvement, though. In addition, a new architecture and operating system, the Intel-based IBM PC and MS-DOS, also needed a spreadsheet to be taken seriously. That spreadsheet, released in early 1983, would be Lotus 1-2-3, and it would change the world. It became the PC's killer app, and the world would never be the same. On May 14, IBM quietly announced the end of the road for 1-2-3, along with Lotus Organizer and the Lotus SmartSuite office suite. Lotus 1-2-3's day is done." Impressive 30 year run.

GAFFNEY, S.C. – The Coker College baseball team picked up their second Conference Carolinas series victory of the season on Monday afternoon, as the Cobras defeated the Saints of Limestone College 15-7 on Monday afternoon to take home the 2-1 series win.
The win improves the Cobras to 14-12 on the year and 7-8 in conference play, while Limestone falls to 10-12 overall and 5-7 in the conference.
Both the Cobras and the Saints opened the game by exchanging pairs of runs in the first inning, but Limestone broke open their half of the game with four runs in the third and another run in the forth to take an early 7-2 lead. But Coker was not ready to give up just yet, scoring three runs in the fifth, five in the sixth, two in the seventh, one in the eighth and another two in the ninth, the Cobras put 15 runs on the board. Along with a five inning shutout pitching performance from Coker reliever Tyler Witzel (West Melbourne, Fla.), the Cobras held on for the 15-7 victory.
Witzel (3-2) dominated the Saints hitters in his five innings of work, allowing just no runs, just two hits, while striking out six. Limestone's Brock White was tagged with the loss, as he allowed four runs on four hits in just a third of an inning on the mound.
Brinley Griffin (Port St. John, Fla.) lead the Cobras offensive surge with a 3-for-5 performance that included two home runs, a double, three RBIs and two runs scored. Also parking balls over the fence in the game were Matthew Kearnes (Bay Shore, N.Y.), Trevin Taber (Chesnee, S.C.), Daniel Hiatt (Elwood, Ind.) and Jessie Crockett (North East, Md.). Kearnes finished the day with three hits, two RBIs and three runs scored, while Hiatt had a pair of hits and two RBIs and Taber and Crockett each drove in and scored two runs. Jordan Buenting (Ankeny, Iowa) also had two hits on the day with two RBIs.
Limestone was led by Josh Troutman's 3-for-5 day that included a double, two RBIs and a run scored. Joe Maloney was the only other Saint with multiple hits, he was 2-for-4 with a triple and two runs scored.
Coker returns to action on Tuesday, when they travel to Newberry, S.C. to take the diamond against Newberry College. First pitch is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. Live stats and live audio of the game are available through Newberry's website, www.newberry.athleticsite.com.

Old-fashioned education
While wandering the roads of southern Todd County (KY) a few days ago, I drove through an Amish community. I think there are probably several little schools like this in the general area. The area served by the school is limited by the distance the students can travel on bicycles, and also by the size of the building.
A schoolbell tops the building. Playground equipment, including a slide, provides recess entertainment. The little square building in the corner of the playground is probably the outhouse. A woodshed may be somewhere out of view. I don't see a chimney on the building, but it looks like there is a stovepipe coming out of the wall beside the porch. There is no electricity.
One teacher teaches all eight grades in little schools like these. In many ways, it's very similar to the one-room school I attended in Nebraska as a child, except that we had a telephone, fuel oil heat, and electrical power.

Niemann-Pick disease refers to a group of inherited conditions that affect the body's metabolism. In those with this rare disorder, fatty material builds up in various vital organs, which can include the brain.
There are 4 main types of Niemann-Pick disease:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Niemann-Pick disease is inherited. It is an autosomal recessive trait, which means that both parents must carry the abnormal gene for their child to inherit the disease. The exact cause depends on the type of Niemann-Pick disease.
A fatty material called sphingomyelin builds up in the organs. This substance is normally present in the membrane of most cells. The enzyme
sphingomyelinase normally breaks down this substance. However, people with type A or B either do not have enough of this enzyme or this enzyme does not work properly. Without the properly functioning enzyme, this fatty material builds up in the cells. The cells die and the organ does not work properly.
In these two types, nerve cells in the brain are unable to move cholesterol out. This allows cholesterol to build up, which keeps cells from functioning normally.
Factors that may increase your child's chance of Niemann-Pick disease include:
Symptoms of Niemann-Pick disease may develop during infancy, childhood, or the teen years, depending on the type of the disease. Symptoms vary. Not all children will develop every symptom. Symptoms usually worsen over time.
Symptoms begin within the first few months of life. They may include:
Symptoms start during pre-teen years. They may include:
Symptoms may start in infancy, childhood, or teen years. They may include:
The doctor will ask about the child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your child's bodily fluids and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
No specific or effective treatment currently exists for Niemann-Pick disease. Treatment is aimed at managing symptoms.
For example, those with type B may be given oxygen to help with lung problems.
There are no specific guidelines for preventing Niemann-Pick disease. Prevention measures are currently available in the areas of genetic testing and prenatal diagnosis. If you have Niemann-Pick disease or a have a family history of the disorder, you can talk to a genetic counselor when deciding to have children.

Wibit Sports Park: Your Own Inflatable Adventure Island!
Why didn't they have this when I was a kid?! Thankfully, the Wibit Sports Park 60 is just as much for big kids as it is for little kids. If you own a lake house, you could turn your front yard into your very own adventure water park, complete with slides, swings, trampolines, and obstacles of all kinds.
The Wibit Sports Park 60 takes up, ohhh, a modest 131 feet by 105 feet in the open water, and can accommodate up to 60 of your thrillseeking friends, family and neighbors, and even their friends, family and neighbors.
Put in some strength training by climbing up the inflatable cliff, then cool off with a victory slide into the water on the other side. Or get into it American Gladiator-style with chicken fights on the balance beam. Or challenge your friends to an obstacle course worthy of a Fuel TV show.
And after you've tired yourself out, the Sports Park makes a relaxing private island to lounge on.

Finally, the day that we've been waiting for: The end of the crummy year that was 2009.
2009 was a rough one for me personally, and if you follow FD closely, you've probably been able to read between the lines and see hints of that. As I mentioned in this week's FD Podcast, I finally quit my job today. That's right, say goodbye to the seemingly luxurious life of a high priced corporate litigator. No longer will I be defending evil corporations in their ruthless attempts to take over the world.
I started Forty Deuce in 2008 because I was looking for an outlet. I felt stifled creatively at my job. I'm a pretty affable and laid back person, but when you're paid to stress out (which is what clients pay us to do -- stress out about shit they should be stressing out about so that they don't have to), it's pretty hard to walk around with a genuine smile on your face. And when you're not sleeping and physically and mentally exhausted, it's really hard to protect yourself from being ground down to a nub.
So I carved out this little space on the interwebs where I could still maintain some semblance of a personality. Where I could express myself creatively about something that I love. Where I could do and say whatever the fuck I wanted without repercussion.
And much to my shock, you guys came. And you read what I wrote. And, much to my surprise, you seemed to like it. I cannot tell you how much support I took from your comments and your emails. I spent 7 years working my ass off and somewhere along the line, I began to lose myself. I was convinced that the only value that I had to the world was as an asshole lawyer. The kind of lawyer who had to duck out of a Lily Allen concert to tear someone a new one over the phone. The kind of lawyer who reduced a poor customer service rep to tears because Delta had lost my luggage on a business trip. The kind of lawyer who would drop $500 for a bottle of wine at dinner simply because I had to justify my job somehow, right? Have you seen Michael Clayton? Yeah, think that but with fewer horses and exploding cars.
But this blog, and specifically all of you, have, in your own little way, reminded me that I don't have to be that. That maybe, just maybe, I might be good at something other than a paid mercenary. Shit, if I'm going to be an asshole, at least use my powers for good, not evil, right?
And so I've quit my job, hopped off a career trajectory that would have led to a seven-figure paycheck, will likely sell my house, move back with parents, etc. It sounds like absolute insanity but I can honestly say that apart form the sadness of leaving some of my best friends at the firm, I am ecstatic and for the first time in 10 years, I feel at peace.
All this is to say, thank you. Each and every one of you have played a part in bringing me to this day. Thank you to the Forty Deuce community and to all the tennis fans out there that tune in. I still get weirded out when I think that people read this site. That, when it's not updated, people worry about my personal well-being. That I have been able to cultivate real and honest friendships with many of you, whether I've met you face to face or not.
Look, I know I'm a dick. I know you disagree with me a lot. I know you have, from time to time, come to hate me with a fiery passion. But that's ok. To quote a wise and handsome Serb, "That's ok. I still love you guys."
Have a wonderful New Year's, everyone. See you on the flip side.
C Note
PS -- I will be taking a three week vacation starting January 2nd. It's a vacation that, as my friends and family have reminded me, I've never been able to take when I was a big firm lawyer. Hell, the one week for Indian Wells last year was like pulling teeth and I still had to run out of the main stadium a few times to get into a screaming match with opposing counsel. I'll be back in time for the second week of AO. In my stead, Carrie has graciously agreed to take over and get you guys hyped for the Australian swing.

Department of Revenue News Release
October 05, 2009Pineville License Office Contract Awarded
JEFFERSON CITY - The management contract for the Pineville License Office, which closed Wednesday due to the retirement of the former license agent, has been awarded to a new agent.
William Brower of Anderson was awarded the office today. Brower previously ran the local motor vehicle and license office from 2001 to 2005.
The proposal submitted by Brower calls for the office to move from its current location of 303 Harmon St. to 605 Main St. An exact opening date for the office has not been established, but Brower's proposal calls for the office to open no later than Oct. 26.
Alana M. Barragán-Scott, acting director of the Missouri Department of Revenue, said she was pleased that the decision on the Pineville office has been made.
"I know some McDonald County residents have been inconvenienced by the closing of the office after the retirement of the former agent," she said. "However, we will work with Mr. Brower to get the new office open as quickly as possible."
Unlike past years, a competitive bidding process was used to select the new office agent. The new process was implemented when Gov. Jay Nixon took office in January. This new system, which emphasizes customer service and financial efficiency, was permanently established in state law when a bipartisan majority of legislators approved it last spring and it was signed into law by the Governor. There were two bids for the Pineville office.
License offices provide services that are overseen by the Missouri Department of Revenue, but each office is operated by an independent contractor. Transactions that are conducted at these offices include the issuance and renewal of driver licenses, applying for titles for motor vehicles, and the issuance and renewal of registration for motor vehicles, boats and outboard motors.
Customers who need to conduct business at a license office before the new Pineville License Office opens are encouraged to visit the following nearby locations. Address, phone numbers, and business hours are listed below.
Cassville - 700 Main St., Suite #1, (417) 847-3471
Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

RIGHT TO DIE: Massachusetts voters will consider a very thorny question on the ballot this November - the question of whether or not that state should allow physician-assisted suicide. The only truly personal property we have are our bodies and our minds. The ultimate freedom, a freedom we should all legally possess, is the right for that property to be controlled by no one but ourselves. The government cannot tell us who to marry, how many children to have, where to live, how much food to eat, or even whether to get up in the morning. Why should it be able to tell us when and how we must die? Every voter in Massachusetts who believes women have the right to control their bodies in birth control decisions should also agree that both women and men have the right to control their bodies in end of life decisions. Let's hope Rhode Island legislators in the next general assembly can muster courage equal to Massachusetts' legislators and put this question on our ballot in 2014.
SHOULD INSANE CHILD KILLERS VOTE? Once again, Cranston public officials are making news with a controversial issue. Two members of the 3-member Cranston Board of Canvassers have resigned rather than approve an absentee ballot for a convicted child killer, Michael Woodmansee, who is now locked up in a mental institution in Cranston. The Cranston board lost a similar case in 2010 when the state Board of Elections ruled that two other murderers found guilty by reason of insanity were eligible to vote while still institutionalized for their insanity.
It's too bad the two who resigned succumbed to the heavy-handed threats of criminal prosecution by the state board. Had they remained on the local board and refused to certify the ballot, the state board would have taken an action that would likely have ended up in the courts. Woodmansee has since dropped his request to vote but nonetheless it's high time for this issue to go to the courts on the constitutional issue involved. The Rhode Island Constitution says that a person deemed to be "non compos mentis," Latin for "not master of one's mind," cannot vote. Doesn't it make sense that someone committed to a mental institution is, by definition, not the master of his own mind and is therefore constitutionally ineligible to vote? The courts should decide this instead of the Board of Elections.
WIND TURBINES AND BUREAUCRACY: We all complain about how long it takes and the miles of red tape government bureaucracy we have to wade through to do anything in Rhode Island - from starting a new business, to adding an addition to our homes, to simply strengthening a sea wall. Bringing this ludicrous situation to our attention lately are the three wind turbines that have been motionless for the past eight months at Fields Point in Providence. According to the Narragansett Bay Commission, the quasi-government organization that built the turbines, it took seven years for the commission to get to this point with the turbines because of the long planning and permitting processes; and this without any public opposition to the turbines. When a quasi-government organization has to take seven years to get something done that benefits all Rhode Islanders and when there is no opposition to the project, something is terribly wrong with our state's and nation's permitting and regulatory systems.
FINANCIAL LITERACY COACHING: General Treasurer Gina Raimondo is right on target when she says that Rhode Islanders need to "be smart about their money" as she implements a program that will help "financially empower our citizens." Her program will use volunteer financial "coaches," - accountants, credit analysts, tax experts, etc., - who will be organized through the non-profit Capital Good Fund and who will donate 9-10 hours per month to one-on-one financial coaching.
This is a wonderful program. However, for financial coaching to have a real and lasting effect in our state, it needs to also be done in our middle and high schools. Studies have proven that teenagers and young adults who begin their working careers with the habit of "paying themselves first" by putting into savings 10 percent of all earnings, before any other bills are paid and before any pleasures are bought, will have successful financial lives and comfortable, secure retirements.
Yes, let's coach our adults toward more financial literacy; but let's also place a strong emphasis where financial coaching can do the most long term good - with our 12-18 year old students.
THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE: Once again this week, the two presidential contenders faced off before a national audience to sell their foreign policy wares to America's voters. After 90 minutes of heated argument, interspersed with moments of histrionics and hyperbole – and some arrogant, condescending "comedy" by President Obama – the candidates seemed to have demonstrated they are both capable of making good foreign policy decisions for America. Although, Obama spent more time on personal attacks against Mitt Romney than defending his own policies, both candidates agreed that the most important guarantee that any foreign policy decision will be effective with our allies and our enemies is whether or not that decision is backed by American economic and military strength. Getting our economy back on track so we can once again exercise foreign policy from a position of strength seems to boil down to a very simple statement made by Wisconsin's U.S. Senator, Ron Johnson, "You've got two paths: growing government and debt or growing the private sector and creating long-term self-sustaining jobs." If you don't know which candidate stands for which position, you shouldn't be voting at all.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: During last week's televised Cicilline-Doherty debate, Cicilline said he should have used the word "threatened" instead of "excellent' to describe Providence's financial situation at the end of his tenure as mayor. Apparently amazed at Cicilline's slippery semantics, Doherty responded with, "I have never felt threatened, when I feel excellent."

Type: Enhancement
Status: Closed
Priority: Minor
Resolution: Declined
Affects Version/s: Backlog
Fix Version/s: Backlog
Component/s: None
Patch:Code and Test
From clojure.contrib.string 1.2, I have found myself using drop, take,
and butlast. (These are more than just wrappers for String/substring,
because they behave nicely when indices exceed the string length.) I
like these methods in part because they match the behavior of
corresponding sequence methods, but have better performance. This
makes optimizing (when needed) easier.
Attached patch for adding the methods.
I intentionally left out the {:added "_"} from the vars since I have no idea when this will be added.
This (as expected) causes this test to fail:
[java] FAIL in (public-vars-with-docstrings-have-added) (metadata.clj:42)
[java] expected: (= [] (remove (comp :added meta) public-vars-with-docstrings))
[java] actual: (not (= [] (#'clojure.string/butlast #'clojure.string/drop #'clojure.string/take)))
Which is easily remedied. If desired, let me know what version this will be added to and I'll submit a new patch with the :added metadata included.
I have attached a patch with "1.4" as the added version now that 1.3 has been released.
The algorithms, docs, and tests look good. I think the functions would be better if they used clojure.core/subs like the rest of clojure.string does, instead of .substring. This is more idiomatic Clojure and allows you to avoid hinting the String arg.
When a new patch is uploaded, please remember to set the Patch field of this ticket to "Code and Test" and the Approval field to "Test". Hopefully this will lead to faster screening.
Attached a patch that uses subs instead of .substring (clj-826-add-take-drop-butlast-v3.diff).
These fns were left out intentionally. Feel free to propose a contrib home for them, though.

Leukocyte reading on pet test strip
We were asked today what a 'trace' value on the leukocyte reading could mean when all the other parameters on the test are negative. Generally, trace values on any of the parameters of the urine test strip should be repeated within the week.
If an infection is present, the leukocyte value will usually be higher (you will get a 'moderate' or 'large' reading) and the nitrite value will also be positive.
A trace value in this case means that the body is having an immune response to something. It could be one of many things and also very short-lived.
This is good information to know. Record the reading on the results chart so you will have this information to refer to and also to report to your veterinarian during any future visits.

Olympus Stylus 7030
Olympus Stylus 7030 digital camera :
Olympus unveils its most powerful line-up of premium Stylus cameras. The Olympus Stylus 7030 offers beautiful video, 14 megapixels to capture brilliant images, features like Magic Filter that transform average photos into works of art, and AF tracking so your subjects are always in focus. Next to a 7x wide angle zoom lens is the Olympus Stylus 7030 balanced with a new graphical user interface (GUI) for easy operation and new Olympus [ib] software for rapid downloading and improved photo organization with Geotagging and Face Recognition functionality. The new Olympus Stylus 7030 also comes in a range of colors to suit your individual style.
Olympus Stylus 7030 digital camera
"The new Olympus Stylus 7030 camera is the best of all worlds with video, stunning high resolution stills and a powerful zoom range," said Nadine Clark, product manager, Olympus Imaging America Inc. "In-Camera Creative Filters let your inner creativity shine, while Shadow Adjustment Technology, In-Camera Panorama and AF tracking make it easier than ever to capture exceptional images."
Olympus Stylus 7030 camera technologies
The Olympus Stylus 7030 camera offers a 14-megapixel image sensor enabling consumers to achieve consistently sharp and vivid images when producing large-format prints or cropping / enlarging a portion of an image. AF Tracking technology locks your fast-moving subject in focus, and continuously adjusts focus and brightness. This enables you to keep fast-moving and unpredictable subjects like small children and pets in focus for the perfect shot. There's even a specially designed AF Tracking "Pet Mode" for animal lovers.
Olympus 7030 features Magic Filters
In-camera Art Features debuted on Olympus E-System DSLR (digital single lens reflex) cameras last year. A similar feature, entitled Magic Filter, has been developed for the new Olympus Stylus 7030. Magic Filter enables the user to enhance and customize images as they're being captured. This translates into more fun and flexibility as customization is no longer limited to using expensive and time-consuming computer software. The new Magic Filter includes:
• Pop Art - Enhance and saturate colors to create vivid, high-impact pictures that express the joyful, lighthearted feeling of the Pop Art style of the 1960s
• Pin Hole - Reduce the peripheral brightness of an image as though it were shot through a pin hole, connecting the viewer intimately with the subject at the center
• Fish-Eye - Emulate the wide-angle of a fish-eye lens by taking extremely wide, hemispherical images and magnifying the center of the frame
• Drawing - Turn your image into a sketch outline for children to color
Olympus Stylus 7030 incorporates Dual Image Stabilization
Dual Image Stabilization on the Olympus Stylus 7030 combines two technologies - mechanical Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization and Digital Image Stabilization - to provide one powerful anti-blur solution for capturing great images whether the photographer or the subject is moving. Olympus' mechanical Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization keeps images sharp by adjusting the image sensor to compensate for camera movement, which often occurs in low-light conditions when shutter speeds are slower. Digital Image Stabilization freezes the action with high ISO sensitivity and fast shutter speeds that prevent blurry images often caused by a moving subject. By combining the two technologies, users of the new Olympus Stylus 7030 camera is able to take crystal-clear images in any shooting situation.
Shadow Adjustment integrated in the Olympus Stylus 7030
Shooting outdoors in bright daylight can be tricky because of the extreme contrast between dark shadowed areas and bright sunlit areas. While the human eye is capable of detecting the nuances between dark and light and all the details in between, image sensors traditionally have not been quite as sensitive. The Olympus 7030 camera addresses this challenge head-on with Shadow Adjustment Technology, which compensates for extreme contrast where the shadow areas are underexposed and lack visible detail. With this technology, users can preview and capture images with the same contrast as the naked eye.
Shoot panaroma photos with the Olympus Stylus 7030
In-Camera Panorama mode captures three images and stitches them together to create one amazing panoramic picture. Simply press the shutter button and slowly pan across a panoramic scene. The second and third images will be captured automatically and stitched together with the first image - resulting in one seamless panorama. To create the ultimate panoramic picture, consumers can use the Olympus [ib] software to stitch up to 10 images together.
Olympus 7030 boasts a TruePic III Image Processor
The Olympus Stylus 7030 camera features Olympus' exclusive TruePic III image processor developed for the demanding performance of DSLR cameras. Olympus' enhanced TruePic III Image Processor produces crystal-clear photos using all the pixel information for each image to deliver superior picture quality with more accurate colors, true-to-life flesh tones and faster processing speeds. TruePic III also captures crisp, clear images at high ISO settings, which are traditionally associated with increasing image noise or producing grainy photos.
Olympus Stylus 7030 includes [ib] software
All Spring 2010 digital compact cameras, including the Olympus Stylus 7030, will offer the new Olympus [ib] software. The new software includes photography workflow, browsing, editing and unique photo organizing functions. You can organize your photos by person with automatic face recognition technology, by location with a Geotagging function or by event. You can easily view photos on an HDTV or on the camera's LCD with the Photo Surfing or Slideshow functions. The name [ib] stands for image bridging, image browsing and image brightening. The new software will be available for Windows operating systems only. The new Stylus-7030 will come equipped with the instruction manual saved on the cameras' new internal memory. This translates into easily referencing instructions while shooting on the go. The internal memory also enables in-camera image playback in an organized fashion. Eliminating a paper or CD-Rom instruction manual is part of Olympus' ongoing environmental commitment to conserve natural resources and reduce its carbon footprint.
Olympus Stylus 7030 accessories & colors
The sleek, lightweight metal body of the Olympus Stylus 7030 camera comes in a variety of colors to suit everyone's style. The Olympus Stylus-7030 comes in titanium, blue and purple. The Olympus Stylus-7030 will be available in February 2010. The camera includes: wrist strap, camera WIN/Mac USB cable, audio/video cable, Li-Ion rechargeable battery, warranty card and manual and Olympus [ib] software on the camera.
Olympus Stylus 7030 review & price
The estimated retail price of the Olympus Stylus 7030 will be $199.99. As soon as we receive a Olympus Stylus 7030 test sample, we will publish a photo gallery with high resolution pictures, followed by an extensive Olympus Stylus 7030 review.

October is American Archives Month, which is an opportunity for archives to raise awareness about archives, showcase their holdings, and, basically, let people know what we as archivists do. We give tours of our department throughout the year to classes and other groups, in part because our collections, unlike those of most libraries, are stored in closed stacks which are are normally not accessible by the public. As a part of this year's Archives Month, this post will include a brief explanation of what a Special Collections and University Archives is all about and a blog version of the Special Collections tour .
To start, what exactly is an archives or, for that matter, a Special Collections? A Special Collections, often within a library such as Parks Library here at ISU, contains rare and unique materials including rare books, publications, artifacts, films, and a variety of primary source materials. Primary materials can include diaries, correspondence, scrapbooks, and photographs. Pictured to the left are photographs from the International Conference and Workshops on Iceberg Utilization for Fresh Water Production, Weather Modification, and Other Applications Records (RS 0-4-4). A small selection of our photographs can be found on Flickr.
The difference between archives and manuscript collections can sometimes be a bit confusing, but the difference is not really necessary to know to get what you need here at Special Collections. Archives and manuscript collections are materials created and/or collected by a person or organization. For example, our University Archives contains the records of Iowa State University including faculty, students, alumni, and administrative offices which contain historical, administrative, legal, or fiscal value. An example of one of our University Archives collections are the Louis Hermann Pammel Papers. Pammel was a Professor of Botany here at ISU, and instrumental in the creation of Iowa's state park system. Our manuscript collections are papers and records of people and organizations not necessarily associated with Iowa State but often related to the areas of agriculture, science and technology. An example of one of our manuscript collections would be the National Family Farm Coalition Records. To learn more about our mission and collecting areas, please visit our website.
If you love definitions of archives related words, or, as is more likely, come across a word we archivists use which is unfamiliar, please visit the wonderful Glossary of Archival and Records Terminology by Richard Pearce-Moses.
You probably noticed above that there are links to the finding aids of the Louis Hermann Pammel Papers and the National Family Farm Coalition Records. A finding aid is a structured description of a collection, and goes more in-depth than the catalog record you would find in the Library Catalog (a link to the catalog can be found on the library's home page). Our finding aids generally contain a descriptive and administrative summary, historical or biographical note, collection description, and folder listing.
One important item to note in the administrative information found at the front of a finding aid is the extent, which will tell you how large a collection is (both the number of boxes and total linear feet of boxes). We primarily use three different sizes of boxes for the records (in addition to the oversize boxes, which are flat boxes in an assortment of sizes): records center, document and half document. Pictured above are the smaller of the two, the document boxes. Each document box is 0.42 feet in length. And just in case you were wondering, the half document boxes are half the size of the document box, or 0.21 linear feet.
The records center box is the larger box, and is about one foot wide by 1.3 feet long.
The collections in our university archives and manuscript collections are housed in acid-free folders and boxes, pictured above. When getting a collection ready for public use, often referred to as "processing," archivists will rehouse, arrange, and describe the collection for storage and use by patrons. The folders contain the collection number (more or less equivalent to a book's call number) and title at the upper left hand side. The folder title is in the middle, and the dates of the records housed within the folder are at the right hand side, along with the box and folder number.
And now for the online tour of Iowa State University's Special Collections and University Archives Department:
When you walk into our reading room, which is the area visitors will use to look at our rare books and collections, you will see our front desk and a friendly archivist ready to assist visitors. Once you have let us know what you need, we will have you fill out a registration form and put your coat and bags in our closet.
The material you request, whether it is a rare book or collection, will be pulled from the back and you will choose one of our desks in the reading room to do your research. No food or drink is allowed in the reading room, since many of the items are rare and unique and therefore hard to replace. In addition, pencils (not pens – which can leave a permanent mark!) need to be used. Pencils are provided at each of the desks.
Most of our books, and all of our collections, are stored in the closed stacks which are not open to the public (unless you are on a tour led by one of our staff members). However, duplicates of some of our frequently used books about Iowa State are available in the reading room. These include directories, catalogs, the Bomb (Iowa State's yearbook, published from 1894-1994), and books on the history of Iowa State including A Sesquicentennial History of Iowa State: Tradition and Transformation, The History of Iowa State College by Earle Dudley Ross, and VEISHEA the first sixty years. A public computer is also available for use.
The reading room also contains small exhibits featuring ISU history and our collections. Our current exhibit is about ISU football: "Ev'ry Yard for ISU: Cyclone Football Through the Years." To learn about our future exhibits, please visit our website.
The area beyond the reading room includes our processing area. Pictured here is the author of this post processing a collection.
The collections are housed in a separately climate controlled area, with lower temperatures and relative humidity than the rest of the library. This is to better preserve the collections. Pictured above are the shelves you would first see when entering the collections area. These are just a portion of our new collections and additions to collections we already hold. When new materials come in, we generally re-box them and put them on these shelves, awaiting a time when we can process the collection.
Our rare book collection contains over 50,000 volumes and includes (but not necessarily limited to!) books related to Iowa State University, agriculture, science, technology, Iowa, landscape architecture and the natural sciences (including entomology, botany, and ornithology.)
The rare books include theses and dissertations by Iowa State graduate students, shown above. As you can see, there are quite a few – and these are not all!
And above is one row of our collections. We have approximately 15,000 linear feet of university archives and manuscript collections.
Above is our university photograph collection. Some university photographs can be found within the collections (if this is the case, it is noted in the finding aid within the folder title), but many are separated into this collection for various reasons. Photographs include students, staff, faculty, alumni, university grounds and buildings, university departments, and other images related to university sites and activities.
In addition to books and historical records, we also have audio and visual materials including over 10,000 films in our film collection, the majority of which were produced by, or are about, ISU. These films focus on the activities of Iowa State faculty, staff, students, and alumni. They cover the topics of agriculture, science, technology, home economics, and campus events. A selection of these films can be found on our YouTube channel. Some of our audio materials, including oral histories, can be found on the university's iTunesU under Parks Library.
The department also collects a variety of artifacts. Currently, there are about 2,500 items in the artifact collection dating from 1849 to the present. Examples of these objects include the death mask of Margaret Stanton (preceptress and wife of Edgar Stanton, class of 1872), a letter sweater, freshman beanies, the National Medal of Technology given to John Vincent Atanasoff, and numerous buttons and pins from various campus organizations and events.
Although we're in a separate area up here on the 4th floor of Parks Library, we often work with other areas of the library, including the Preservation Department. The preservation of our materials is very important, and a recent blog post by our preservation department discusses American Archives Month and the department's importance to our mission.
And thus ends the online tour of Special Collections. Please visit our website to learn more!

Wesleyan Theses
Wesleyan theses and dissertations in the library collections fall into three main groups:
Click on the name of any group for more information. Additional queries about theses and dissertations should be directed to Special Collections & Archives staff.
In summary, one archival copy of each thesis and dissertation is received by SC&A, where it is treated as a manuscript. It does not circulate and must be read in the SC&A reading room. Since 2007, many theses are available as full text documents in WesScholar, Wesleyan's institutional repository. See http://wesscholar.wesleyan.edu/etds/
There may be additional uncataloged copies elsewhere on the campus, in department offices or with thesis advisers. Additionally, a microfilm of each Ph.D. dissertation is kept in the Microforms Center.
Wesleyan has awarded masters' degrees since 1892 and Ph.D.s since 1965; the first honors theses date from the 1930s.
How do I request a photocopy?
You may request a thesis by submitting a Request for Reproduction.
In order to make a copy of an undergraduate thesis, the author's permission needs to be on file before we are permitted to copy any or all of the thesis. If it is not already on file, we will contact the author and request permission. This process can occasionally be lengthy.
Once we have both author permission and a completed Request for Reproduction, we will contact you with the cost of the thesis. The cost for photocopying or document scanning all SC&A materials is 50 cents per page for non-Wesleyan community requests and 10 cents per page for Wesleyan community members (faculty, staff, students, alumni, etc.). There is a charge of $3.50 for shipping & handling. Checks need to be drawn in US dollars, made out to Wesleyan University and sent to Special Collections & Archives, Wesleyan University, 252 Church St., Middletown, CT 06459. We cannot accept credit cards.
Upon receipt of the payment, we will begin the photocopying process.
For any questions regarding Wesleyan University theses, contact Special Collections & Archives at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Protein Tied to Cancer Drug Resistance in Mice
News Dec 13, 2012
Blocking a specific protein renders tumors more vulnerable to treatment in mice, suggesting new therapies could eventually achieve the same in humans, according to new research from Fox Chase Cancer Center.
"Hopefully, with further testing, this research could one day result in a new therapy that blocks the effect of this protein and, in turn, boosts the effects of cancer drugs," says study author Elizabeth Hopper-Borge, PhD, Assistant Professor at Fox Chase.
The protein in question is a type of ATP-binding cassette drug efflux pumps, known more simply as ABC proteins. These proteins sit on the membranes of cells, where they act just like pumps—removing cancer drugs from the cell, thereby making them less effective. The body contains close to 50 such proteins, explains Hopper-Borge, but only 3 appear capable of evading the effects of cancer drugs, including common types used to treat lung, ovarian, and breast cancers.
The current research, supported by the National Institutes of Health, focuses on the protein ABCC10, which has not been studied in as much detail as some other ABC proteins, says Hopper-Borge. Last year, she and her colleagues found that mice lacking ABCC10 experienced physiological changes after taking a cancer drug, suggesting the drug was having an effect.
As part of the latest project, the authors performed a similar experiment in mice engineered to develop breast cancer. They found that, 21 days after exposure to a cancer drug, the tumors that lacked ABCC10 were much smaller than the tumors that still carried the protein. "This is probably the first time it's been shown that removing this protein helps sensitize tumors to cancer drugs," says Hopper-Borge.
Looking closely at the tumors, the researchers also found that cells that lacked ABCC10 grew faster. Strangely, this finding is encouraging, says Hopper-Borge, since chemotherapy targets proliferating cells—and so may explain why the drugs now act on the faster-growing cells that lack ABCC10.
The next step, she says, is to try removing ABCC10 in more mouse models of breast cancer, and determine how active the protein is in different types of the disease. Eventually, if blocking the protein appears to consistently boost the effects of cancer drugs, researchers can identify and begin testing inhibitors of ABCC10 as additional treatments for cancer.
"Although this research is promising, it's in its early stages," cautions Hopper-Borge. "Consequently, it's premature for patients to ask their doctors to test them for the presence of ABCC10, since knowing that can't yet affect their treatment. But these results suggest that may one day change."

Kick The Buddy Review
You know those awful days wherein you're chewed out by your boss, your teacher, or your dog? And you cork your frustration by gnawing on a pencil? Well, Kick the Buddy for iOS is a good way to de-stress after coming into contact with people you dislike, and it spares you the possibility of granite poisoning.
Kick the Buddy isn't a traditional game; it's more like pocket-sized therapy. When you start up the app, a limbless ragdoll who bears an uncomfortable resemblance to Sony's Sackboy comes to life in a single, empty room. Your mission is to fling this doll, "Buddy," into walls and onto the floor.
Sorry, Buddy. Time out's not an option.
Alternatively, you can pull him, squish him, and purchase instruments of pain that turns your little studio apartment into a veritable torture chamber. You can shoot Buddy with guns of all sizes and makes, pound him with blunt objects, fling bowling balls at him, shoot him with darts, arrows, fling grenades, and much more. Buddy always returns to earth unscathed, if not a little saddened.
In fact, Buddy will utter whimpers, pleas, and even a few threats as you beat him up. Most of these are pretty funny thanks in no small part to a slightly malformed English script ("Put your fingers away from the display!!"), but it's still hard not to feel a bit bad for the little dude as you wail on him.
That's why Kick the Buddy includes an option where you can change Buddy's face to any picture stored on your iOS device. This small change completely shifts the dynamic of the "game," and suddenly it feels pretty good to give buddy what for. Some suggested faces to try out: your employer, your worst enemy, or a Tyrannosaurs Rex.
The more you beat up Buddy, the more money you earn. You use that money to buy more weapons. It's the Circle of Life, Simba. There are also some especially fun weapons that can only be unlocked via microtransactions.
Other than earning big bucks for inflicting physical pain, however, there's not much to Kick the Buddy. That's fine, as you'll still have a good time just pulling the guy around and filling his straw guts with darts. Kick the Buddy is a great stress reliever, and it also sheds a thin beam of light on your own psychotic tendencies. Disturbing, but fun.
