The Ridiculous Argument for Judge Walker's Recusal
As Tracy Clark-Flory pointed out Tuesday, it's wrong to call Judge Vaughn Walker openly gay. Whatever his private life, he's not out in public, which leads to a weird awkwardness for the judge's fans, who would like to claim him as a gay hero for striking down California's same-sex marriage ban, Proposition 8. But the judge's critics have had no reservations about how Walker's sexuality plays: Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, said Walker should have recused himself from the Prop 8 case and the American Family Association thinks that Walker's "judgment [was] compromised by his sexual proclivity." This is ridiculous. Judges are expected to recuse themselves from cases in which they have a financial interest. They also do it if they've worked on a case before it reaches them. (That's why Elena Kagan won't hear 11 cases involving the Obama administration next term.) And it's a bad idea for them to express a view about a pending case and then rule on it: Remember Scalia recusing himself in the Pledge of Allegiance case? But the notion that a judge's identity marks him as biased-well, to show us just how wrongheaded that is, Sherillyn Ifill mines the history of recusal motions filed before African-American judges:
In the late 1970s and early 1980s -- as a bumper crop of minority federal district judges appointed by President Jimmy Carter presided over employment-discrimination cases brought under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 -- recusal motions were filed by defendants seeking to remove black judges from hearing these cases. Black judges pushed back firmly against attempts to question their impartiality and framed what has become the universally accepted understanding among the bench and bar: that judicial bias cannot be assumed based on the racial, gender or other status of the judge.
In perhaps the most famous of these cases, lawyers representing the New York law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell requested that federal district judge Constance Baker Motley recuse herself from hearing a case brought by women lawyers at the firm who charged discrimination in hiring and promotion. The law firm's motion for recusal was based on Judge Motley's status as a black woman and her professional experience as a former civil rights lawyer.... Motley refused to withdraw from presiding over the case, offering the now classic explanation that "if background or sex or race of each judge were, by definition, sufficient grounds for removal, no judge on this court could hear this case, or many others, by virtue of the fact that all of them were attorneys, of a sex, often with distinguished law firm or public service backgrounds."

Evanston aldermen were unrepentant Friday in response to a letter from the Cook County state's attorney's office scolding them for meeting behind closed doors--in violation of state law--to discuss real estate and other issues critical in landing a huge development project.
"This whole thing is just a matter of interpretation on the state's attorney's part," Ald. Dennis Drummer (2nd) said Friday. "They're nitpicking."

I wanted to compare reading lines of string input from stdin using Python and C++ and was shocked to see my C++ code run an order of magnitude slower than the equivalent Python code. Since my C++ is rusty and I'm not yet an expert Pythonista, please tell me if I'm doing something wrong or if I'm misunderstanding something.
(TLDR answer: include the statement:
cin.sync_with_stdio(false) or just use
fgets instead.
TLDR results: scroll all the way down to the bottom of my question and look at the table.)
C++ code:
#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
string input_line;
long line_count = 0;
time_t start = time(NULL);
int sec;
int lps;
while (cin) {
getline(cin, input_line);
if (!cin.eof())
sec = (int) time(NULL) - start;
cerr << "Read " << line_count << " lines in " << sec << " seconds.";
if (sec > 0) {
lps = line_count / sec;
cerr << " LPS: " << lps << endl;
} else
cerr << endl;
return 0;
// Compiled with:
// g++ -O3 -o readline_test_cpp foo.cpp
Python Equivalent:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import time
import sys
count = 0
start = time.time()
for line in sys.stdin:
count += 1
delta_sec = int(time.time() - start_time)
if delta_sec >= 0:
lines_per_sec = int(round(count/delta_sec))
print("Read {0} lines in {1} seconds. LPS: {2}".format(count, delta_sec,
Here are my results:
$ cat test_lines | ./readline_test_cpp
Read 5570000 lines in 9 seconds. LPS: 618889
$cat test_lines | ./readline_test.py
Read 5570000 lines in 1 seconds. LPS: 5570000
Edit: I should note that I tried this both under Mac OS X v10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and Linux 2.6.32 (Red Hat Linux 6.2). The former is a MacBook Pro, and the latter is a very beefy server, not that this is too pertinent.
Edit 2: (Removed this edit, as no longer applicable)

CPP: Read 5570001 lines in 10 seconds. LPS: 557000
Python:Read 5570000 lines in 1 seconds. LPS: 5570000
Edit 3:
Okay, I tried J.N.'s suggestion of trying having Python store the line read: but it made no difference to python's speed.
I also tried J.N.'s suggestion of using
scanf into a
char array instead of
getline into a
std::string. Bingo! This resulted in equivalent performance for both Python and C++. (3,333,333 LPS with my input data, which by the way are just short lines of three fields each, usually about 20 characters wide, though sometimes more).
char input_a[512];
char input_b[32];
char input_c[512];
while(scanf("%s %s %s\n", input_a, input_b, input_c) != EOF) {
$ cat test_lines | ./readline_test_cpp2
Read 10000000 lines in 3 seconds. LPS: 3333333
$ cat test_lines | ./readline_test2.py
Read 10000000 lines in 3 seconds. LPS: 3333333
(Yes, I ran it several times.) So, I guess I will now use
scanf instead of
getline. But, I'm still curious if people think this performance hit from
getline is typical and reasonable.
Edit 4 (was: Final Edit / Solution):
Immediately above my original while loop above results in code that runs faster than Python.
New performance comparison (this is on my 2011 MacBook Pro), using the original code, the original with the sync disabled, and the original Python code, respectively, on a file with 20M lines of text. Yes, I ran it several times to eliminate disk caching confound.
$ /usr/bin/time cat test_lines_double | ./readline_test_cpp
33.30 real 0.04 user 0.74 sys
Read 20000001 lines in 33 seconds. LPS: 606060
$ /usr/bin/time cat test_lines_double | ./readline_test_cpp1b
3.79 real 0.01 user 0.50 sys
Read 20000000 lines in 4 seconds. LPS: 5000000
$ /usr/bin/time cat test_lines_double | ./readline_test.py
6.88 real 0.01 user 0.38 sys
Read 20000000 lines in 6 seconds. LPS: 3333333
Thanks to @Vaughn Cato for his answer! Any elaboration people can make or good references people can point to as to why this synchronisation happens, what it means, when it's useful, and when it's okay to disable would be greatly appreciated by posterity. :-)
Edit 5 / Better Solution:
As suggested by Gandalf The Gray below,
gets is even faster than
scanf or the unsynchronized
cin approach. I also learned that
scanf and
gets are both UNSAFE and should NOT BE USED due to potential of buffer overflow. So, I wrote this iteration using
fgets, the safer alternative to gets. Here are the pertinent lines for my fellow noobs:
char input_line[MAX_LINE];
char *result;
while((result = fgets(input_line, MAX_LINE, stdin )) != NULL)
if (ferror(stdin))
perror("Error reading stdin.");
Now, here are the results using an even larger file (100M lines; ~3.4 GB) on a fast server with very fast disk, comparing the Python code, the unsynchronised
cin, and the
fgets approaches, as well as comparing with the wc utility. [The
scanf version segmentation faulted and I don't feel like troubleshooting it.]:
$ /usr/bin/time cat temp_big_file | readline_test.py
0.03user 2.04system 0:28.06elapsed 7%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 2464maxresident)k

0inputs+0outputs (0major+182minor)pagefaults 0swaps
Recap (lines per second):
python: 3,571,428
cin (no sync): 12,500,000
fgets: 14,285,714
wc: 54,644,808
As you can see,
fgets is better, but still pretty far from wc performance; I'm pretty sure this is due to the fact that wc examines each character without any memory copying. I suspect that, at this point, other parts of the code will become the bottleneck, so I don't think optimizing to that level would even be worthwhile, even if possible (since, after all, I actually need to store the read lines in memory).
Also note that a small tradeoff with using a
char * buffer and
fgets vs. unsynchronised
cin to string is that the latter can read lines of any length, while the former requires limiting input to some finite number. In practice, this is probably a non-issue for reading most line-based input files, as the buffer can be set to a very large value that would not be exceeded by valid input.
This has been educational. Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions.
Edit 6:
As suggested by J.F. Sebastian in the comments below, the GNU wc utility uses plain C
read() (within the safe-read.c wrapper) to read chunks (of 16k bytes) at a time and count new lines. Here's a Python equivalent based on J.F.'s code (just showing the relevant snippet that replaces the Python
for loop:
count = sum(chunk.count('\n') for chunk in iter(partial(sys.stdin.read, BUFFER_SIZE), ''))
The performance of this version is quite fast (though still a bit slower than the raw C wc utility, of course):
$ /usr/bin/time cat temp_big_file | readline_test3.py
0.01user 1.16system 0:04.74elapsed 24%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 2448maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+181minor)pagefaults 0swaps
Read 100000000 lines in 4.7275 seconds. LPS: 21152829
Again, it's a bit silly for me to compare C++
cin and the first python code on the one hand to
wc -l and this last Python snippet on the other, as the latter two don't actually store the read lines, but merely count newlines. Still, it's interesting to explore all the different implementations and think about the performance implications. Thanks again!
Edit 7: Tiny benchmark addendum and recap
For completeness, I thought I'd update the read speed for the same file on the same box with the original (synced) C++ code. Again, this is for a 100M line file on a fast disk. Here's the complete table now:
Implementation Lines per second
python (default) 3,571,428
cin (default/naive) 819,672
cin (no sync) 12,500,000
fgets 14,285,714
wc (not fair comparison) 54,644,808

VAIL, Colo.-March 22, 2013-John and Jamie Stone, the founders of DiscoverWell, the nonprofit entity that produces the Vail Living Well Summit along with Sonnenalp Hotel, announce today that NFL Hall of Fame Quarterback Joe Montana will keynote the 2013 Vail Living Well Summit (VLWS). The announcement of Montana's role adds to the already prolific lineup of U.S. and international researchers, experts and thought leaders in the realm of health and well-being scheduled to present at the three day summit, September 19-21, 2013.
"The Vail Living Well Summit already features 23 outstanding presenters that are sure to inspire and educate attendees to further their personal journey in health and well-being, as well as bring back what they learn to their families, workplace and communities," says Jamie Stone, president of DiscoverWell. "Joe is a sports icon whose professional and personal life reflects countless aspects of health and well-being. The interactive interview format, with questions from the audience and our emcee, will offer great insight into performing at a high level of achievement, dealing with its stresses, and continuing to deliver results while maintaining personal integrity and balance."
Montana was selected late in the third round of the NFL draft by San Francisco 49ers coach Bill Walsh. He went on to lead the 49ers to victories in four Super Bowls during the 1980s, including consecutive wins in 1989 and 1990. An inspirational leader and talented passer, he was named the National Football League's most valuable player three times. He joined the Kansas City Chiefs 1993–1995, before retiring with NFL playoff records for completions, yards, and touchdowns. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000.
"Participating in the Vail Living Well Summit as a keynote speaker is a great opportunity for me to share some of the things I found to work in maintaining balance in my life before, during and after my career in the NFL," says Montana. "Like many people, a healthy lifestyle is a constant pursuit in my life. I'm happy to share what I've learned along the way."
VLWS brings together top level doctors, researchers, athletes, along with health conscious individuals and influencers to connect, learn, share and have fun in the beauty of Vail, Colo. The Summit utilizes evidence-based interactive and experiential programming for maximum takeaway for both attendees and presenters. Topics include fitness, nutrition, cognitive and emotional well-being, heart health, preventive medicine, longevity and stress, sleep health, and cutting edge breakthroughs in health and well-being. Presenters will not only share research and information on their particular field of expertise with attendees, but meet, collaborate and share with other presenters, as well as individuals who will take back what they learn to their spheres of influence. Founders, presenters and participants of VLWS believe health and well-being is a critical component of sustainability for all people, whether you live in Vail, the State of Colorado, the United States or abroad.
"The connections made are an important piece of what will make Vail Living Well Summit a recognized center of thought leadership and collaboration in the increasingly important world of health and well-being," adds Jamie Stone. "As society moves more and more toward a mindset of taking responsibility for personal health, the importance of the relationships and research that is shared and fostered at the Summit will become more invaluable in helping people live better and longer."

- The great bear market starting in 1929 scared a whole generation of investors.
From Middle English bere, from Old English bera, from Proto-Germanic *berô (compare West Frisian bear, Dutch beer, German Bär, Danish bjørn).
This is generally taken to be from Proto-Indo-European *bʰer- ("shining, brown") (compare Tocharian A parno, B perne ("radiant, luminous"), Lithuanian bė́ras ("brown")), related to brown and beaver.
The Germanic languages replaced the older name of the bear, *rtko-, with the epithet "brown one", presumably due to taboo avoidance; compare Russian медведь (medvedʹ, "bear"), literally "honey-eater".
However, Ringe (2006:106) doubts the existence of a root *bʰer- meaning "brown" ("an actual PIE word of [the requisite] shape and meaning is not recoverable") and suggests that a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰwer- ("wild animal") "should therefore perhaps be preferred", implying a Germanic merger of *ǵʰw and *gʷʰ (*gʷʰ results in Germanic *b regularly, e.g. in *bidjaną)

- To give birth to someone or something (may take the father of the direct object as an indirect object).
- In Troy she becomes Paris' wife, bearing him several children, all of whom die in infancy.

Nenagh's Cllr Tommy Morgan quits Fianna Fail to back Independent candidate
Nenagh town councillor Tommy Morgan has quit Fianna Fail to throw his support behind Cllr Hughie McGrath in May's local elections. Cllr Morgan resigned from party at a meeting of the MacDonagh Cumann in Nenagh during which the members were due to select their nomination to go to the party's selection convention, which will be held in Dolla this Thursday.
Cllr Morgan said he handed in his letter of resignation and left the cumann meeting without making any comment or speech.
"I felt lost in Fianna Fail. I was not approached to look for the nomination. I am disappointed not just because I was not asked to run. There is a need for a lot of younger people in Fianna Fail. It needs new blood. This has happened in the county but not in Nenagh," he said.
Cllr Morgan, who was elected in 1994 as an Independent, later joined FF and failed to get elected in 2009 but was co-opted to the council following the resignation of Cllr Tony Sheary.
He told the Star he was "disappointed but not disillusioned" by FF saying the loss of Maire Hoctor's seat in 2011 was a "great blow to Nenagh" and the cumann had not been revitalised since.
"I was happy to canvass for Maire," he said, pointing to her work on Nenagh Hospital and securing funding for the rehabilitation of the tailings ponds at Silvermines. Both Cllr Morgan and Ms Hoctor were elected to Nenagh Town Counci for the first time in 1994.
"I suppose I joined Fianna Fail at the wrong time. The economy was good and I was approached," he said. However, However, people had told him they would have preferred him to stay as an Independent, but being an Independent was a "hard thing.
A former fireman, Cllr Morgan said he was backing Cllr McGrath's campaign because of his involvement in community events such as the St Patrick's Day parade and the Bop While you Shop / Medieval Picnic in the Castle Field day.
"I am disappointed Fianna Fail is not more involved with community projects. I felt there is need for more involvement and there is a great bunch of workers on his committees. I have had a great lot of companionship with Cllr McGrath over the last while and I would like to get him re-elected. A lot of people have said the St Patrick's Day parade is a wonderful occasion for the community and it takes away the doom and gloom," said Cllr Morgan.
Meanwhile, Nenagh town councillor Tom Mulqueen was selected at last week's meeting to seek the party's nomnation at this Thursday's convention.
However, with only two places up for grabs he will face a tough challenge from sitting councillors John Carroll and Mattie Ryan "Coole".
Fianna Fail decided to add Arcroney man Eamonn Spillane and Newport postman Martin Kennedy to the ticket in advance of the convention.
There is now the possibility that Fianna Fail could be without a Nenagh town candidate in May.

April 9, 2002
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - The Santa Clara University men's golf team fired its lowest round of the tournament in the final round of the 56th Annual Western Intercollegiate at Pasatiempo Golf Course in Santa Cruz, hosted by San Jose State.
Following two rounds on Monday that saw the Broncos shoot scores above 300 as a team, Santa Clara regrouped and fired a 295 Tuesday morning in the final round. Despite the score the Broncos were unable to move up in the rankings, finishing 16th at the prestigious tournament with a three-round team total of 903.
Freshman Matt Klenz finished as the top finisher for the Broncos, completing the three-round event in a tie for 14th with a score of 3-over par, 213. Sandy Horacek fired a final round 76, pushing him back into a tie for 44th with a three-round score of 233.
Chris DeMartini shot the second best round of the day for the Broncos on Tuesday, finishing the round with a 4-over par score of 74, making his three-day total of 234 good enough to finish in a tie for 82nd.
Jonathan Edwards finished tied for 80th with a score of 233, after a third round 76, while Skye Skikos finished his second tournament of the year with a three-round total of 266.
The University of Washington won the tournament with a team score of 6-under par, 834, 20 strokes ahead of second place Fresno State. Host San Jose State finished 3rd as a team, while fellow Bay Area competitors California and Stanford finished 8th and 14th, respectively.
Individually, Washington's Conner Robbins took home the Medallist honors with a three-round total of 8-under par, 202. Robbins' teammate Brock Mackenzie finished in a tie for second place with Chris Marshall from Kansas, both completing the tournament with a score of 2-under par, 208.
Santa Clara will return to action next Monday and Tuesday when they participate in the West Coast Conference Golf Championships at the Riverbend Golf Club in Madera, Calif.

The Shortest Segment
Lesson 6 of 17
Objective: SWBAT construct the perpendicular to a line through a point not on the line. Students will understand how the properties of a perpendicular are related to the properties of bisectors.
Big Idea: Students use the symmetry of a geometric model to reason that the shortest distance between a point and a line is a... bisector.
Lesson Open
I begin the lesson by displaying the warm-up prompt using the slide show for the lesson.
The prompt asks students to describe the symmetry in a set of non-concentric circles. The purpose of the warm-up is to help ensure that students see the symmetry in the concentric circles they construct as part of the tire swing problem. It is also good practice in a skill that they learned several lessons ago.
The warm-up follows our Team Warm-up routine. I choose students at random to write the team's answer on the board.
Reviewing the teams' answers on the board, I ask where the centers of the circles all have to be. On the line of reflection.
I display the Agenda and Learning Targets for the lesson. I tell the class that today we will be using the symmetry of a figure to solve an interesting problem. At least, I hope it is interesting. Has anyone ever built a tire swing?
Without further ado, I introduce the next activity: a pair of problems.
Resources (4)
The purpose of this activity is to dramatize the construction of a perpendicular bisector with a real-world problem (MP4). As much as possible, I want students to reason for themselves that the shortest segment between a point and a line--which is what a perpendicular is, of course--can be found by constructing a circle that intersects the line at two points first, and then constructing the bisector of those points (MP1).
To lead students to this idea the first problem (The Tire Swing) is designed to entice students to construct a pair of circles that have too great a radius, and one that is too small. From the symmetry of the figure, I hope that they will think of constructing a bisector to find the point midway between the points of intersection (MP7)
As students go to work, display the instructions and circulate to answer questions or give out hints where necessary. If students find a different method of solution, I give praise while asking them to see the reasoning behind the solution I have in mind.
Students each complete their own solution, but I encourage them to work together and share their thinking.
The second problem (A Campfire Story) can be used as a check for understanding. It also gives students a second opportunity to solve the problem and see the symmetry in the construction of the perpendicular to a line.
Note that the handout for the activity is meant to be reproduced on 11" x 17" legal-size paper.
If students finish early, I give them a problem from the Bisector Challenge activity.
Resources (3)
Summarizing Perpendiculars
We use the Guided Notes to summarize the steps of the construction of a perpendicular. Which, of course, the name of the bisector that students have just learned to construct for themselves. I demonstrate the steps of the construction, and students follow along to create the diagrams in their notes.
For more on how I use Guided Notes in my lessons, see the article in my Strategies folder.
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
Individual Size-Up
The lesson close follows our Individual Size-Up routine. The prompt asks students to name the shortest path between a point and a line.
For homework, I assign problems #18-20 of Homework Set 1 for this unit. Since there is no time in this lesson to practice the construction of a perpendicular or fully explore its properties, the homework problems review and extend concepts and skills taught in earlier lessons.

The cycle map legend below describes the map symbols and lines:
The main maps on this site come from a project called OpenCycleMap (which is part of the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project).
Journey listings indicate how much cabon dioxide (CO2) is avoided by cycling the journey in comparison to how much is generated by driving the equivalent distance in a small petrol-powered car. The calculation is based on a CTC article that suggests the average saving of CO2 by cycling compared to driving a 100 mile car journey is 30kg.
We have had the following feedback about this:
"It seems to me that the CO2 saved should not based on driving the equivalent distance in a car vs. a bicycle. Rather it should be the difference between the most suitable car journey available and the chosen cycle journey. E.g. on getting directions from Stapleford to The Babraham Institute the quietest route is impossible for a car, so the saving in CO2 should reflect this, i.e. the saving should be much higher. This level of refinement may be tricky, but it is worth bearing in mind."
In response, in practice cycling will be more direct for some routes and less direct for others (e.g. when avoiding main routes), so in practice we think this is likely to be averaged out.
A related article of possible interest: How far do I have to ride my bike to pay back its carbon footprint?, the answer is "around 400 miles to cover the bike's initial carbon footprint.".
An estimate of the calories burned on a journey was introduced to some versions of CycleStreets in Dec 2010. The figure given in the journey listing is an estimate of the amount of energy required to complete the journey. It makes these assumptions:
The resulting figure is shown in Calories (actually kcal) in the journey listings on those sites that provide this feature.
Calculations are based on this wikipedia reference and a spreadsheet from CTC (no longer listed on their site). They use this formula:
P = g * m * Vg * (K1 + s) + K2 * Va2 * Vg
In this formula, the power is made up of three components:
|Earth's gravity
|m / s2
|Mass of rider and bike inclusive
|Ground speed
|12 mph is about 5.4 m/s
|Grade or slope
|assumed to be flat, ie. zero
|A lumped constant for the rolling resistance
|0.0053 (equivalent to a slope of 0.5%)
|A lumped constant for aerodynamic drag
|0.26 see note
|The rider's speed through the air
Note: The wiki reference quotes K2 = 0.185 kg/m, but that is for an aerodynamic bike with a drag coefficient of 0.7. The value of 0.26 is based on a drag coefficient of 1.0.
On the flat (s=0) at 12 mph ( = 5.4 m/s), when there is no wind this gives a power of:
P = 9.8226 * 90 * 5.4 * (0.0053 + 0) + 0.26 * 5.42 * 5.4 = 66.2 Watts
To convert this into energy burned by the rider, we note that 1 joule is approximately 0.000239 kilocalories (kcal) and an athletic human body is 24% efficient. The conversion factor is then 0.000239 / 24% = 0.001, and so in this example our rider burns approximately 0.07 kcal per second. On a 20 minute ride they would burn 80 kcal.
A raw eating apple has about 50 Calories.
The journey planner sometimes fails to find a route or produces a strange route. These are the main reasons why, which we continue to work to improve:

When starting your associates degree, plan ahead and be sure that you are picking courses that will be transferable to colleges and universities later on. Further, by choosing your major early, you can take the required classes needed for your degree in a community college, saving both time and up-front investment.
Look at four-year schools in your state first, to decide if any would be a good fit for you, as in-state tuition may be lower for state residents. This will outline what classes you need to take to qualify, and what minimum GPA you'll need to maintain to avoid losing hard-earned credits when you actually transfer. The following state websites provide information about the transfer process within their state. While most states are generally similar, please ask your community college advisor about the specific guidelines for your state.
