Japanese to assist CASE rebuilding
PORT ANTONIO, Portland - Minister of Education Ronald Thwaites says the Japanese Government will be doing substantial repairs to the College of Agriculture, Science and Education (CASE) in Portland, damaged by Hurricane Sandy.
Thwaites was speaking to the media after a tour of the institution and a board meeting Friday.
"I am touched by the extent of the damage. CASE appears to be the most damaged of all educational institutions as a result of Miss Sandy. The estimates of damage are in the region of $75 million which is a substantial amount principally to do with the livestock section and commendable to the institution, no animal was lost, no poultry either," Thwaites said.
Dormitories at CASE have also been badly affected along with other facilities such as the library.
"We have the very important help of the Government of Japan which has indicated that they will underwrite a significant portion of the repairs and are intended to visit here just as soon as protocols between themselves and the ministry of education are signed, hopefully next week," Thwaites said Friday.
"There are other international agencies which have expressed an interest in helping in restoring the farm. We got good news at the board meeting from permanent secretary Donovan Stanberry of agriculture who is also a board member that the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation) and IICA (Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture) have shown interest in helping to restore the farm, he added.
At the same time Thwaites challenged that the repairs be done properly. "This is a hurricane zone, this is Portland, but I think we have to be very careful this time to make sure that techniques of construction and architecture that are used help us to avoid the predicaments of the present," he said.

SHREWSBURY � School Committee members said they are starting to see the effects of higher class sizes after the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education lowered the ranking of all MCAS-eligible schools in the district from Level 1 to Level 2.
Superintendent Joseph M. Sawyer said at Wednesday night's meeting that class sizes are well above School Committee guidelines, averaging 26 to 30 students per classroom.
Additionally, he said the school district has been skimping for years, putting off textbook purchases and technology upgrades in an effort to be frugal.
He said that as a result the school district is not up to date with state-mandated curriculum changes, and the results are starting to show. With the exception of Parker Road Preschool and Beal Early Childhood Center, which don't have Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System data, the other five schools in the district saw their MCAS performance ranking drop from a Level 1, the highest ranking, to Level 2.
"This is not the trend we want to see," Mr. Sawyer said. "We have insufficient resources to meet student needs."
He said his No. 1 priority right now is to limit further damage to the school district and to try to restore the quality of education to current students that their predecessors received.
"What this says to me is that budgets have consequences," School Committee member Jason F. Palitsch said. "I would have a hard time accepting that higher class sizes are not playing a role here." Mr. Palitsch said the top priority for the fiscal 2015 school budget cycle will be lowering class sizes and using innovation to maximize resources and reduce costs.

Man Charged with Killing 2 Teens Seeks Lower Bail
LITTLE FALLS (AP) — The Minnesota man accused of killing two teens who broke into his home on Thanksgiving is asking a judge to reduce his bail.
Sixty-four-year-old Byron David Smith is seeking to reduce the $2 million bail set by Morrison County District Judge Douglas Anderson. The judge set the high bail when Smith made his first court appearance on charges that he murdered 18-year-old Haile Kifer and 17-year-old Nick Brady.
A hearing has been scheduled for Monday to argue the motion, which was filed by Smith's attorney, Steven Meshbesher.
Smith is charged with two counts of second-degree murder. Authorities say Smith went beyond what's permitted for self-defense when he shot the cousins multiple times, including after they had been incapacitated, at his home near Little Falls.

Intuit Still Lobbying Hard To Stop Governments From Making It Easy To File Taxes
from the corporate-culture dept
Of course, some states have already implemented similar systems for state taxes, and Intuit then goes on the lobbying offensive to try to repeal those laws. Reader Xan points us to an LA Times story about the lengths to which Intuit is going to try to kill off a highly successful set of programs in California that have made it much easier for many, many, many residents, while at the same time saving the state millions of dollars. It's a clear win-win.
Well, except for Intuit.
Intuit is lobbying hard for California to ditch this tremendously successful program that helps both tax payers and the state, and replace it with a different program that... helps Intuit. It would offer a much more limited offering to many fewer people, mostly designed as an upsell to get people to pay for TurboTax. And, while Intuit hasn't been successful yet, it has been spending plenty of money supporting California state politicians on both sides of the aisle to try to find support for its efforts.

Pulp Politics
Primary Colors: A Novel of Politics
The People's Choice: A Cautionary Tale
The Last Debate
In 1971, Jerry Bruno and Jeff Greenfield jointly wrote a book called The Advance Man. Bruno had been "advance man" for the John F. Kennedy campaign when the techniques of spin and momentum were in their relative infancy, and Greenfield had performed something of the same office for the Robert Kennedy campaign in 1968. (Bruno had also been the "advance man" for the presidential trip to Dallas in November of 1963, and in this memoir he vividly described the atmosphere of hate and venom in that city, rightly locating it not on the Birchite fringe but in the pitiless conflict between the Connally and Yarborough wings of the Texas Democratic establishment. It was their vicious squabbling, for example, that led to the fatal change in the route of Kennedy's motorcade.
If you care to take up and read The Advance Man today, you will be struck above all by the atmosphere of amateurism and voluntarism that it conveys. In the crucial Wisconsin and West Virginia primaries which gave John Kennedy the nomination, politics was still being contested at the front-porch and saloon-bar level and (though his father, Joseph, left nothing to chance on the fund-raising and fund-distributing fronts) the candidate was compelled to engage directly with the voters. In one West Virginia town, where the issue of popery was still a heated one, a woman came over to Bruno while he was taking the measure of the place for a potential Kennedy visit:
"I'd like to see you alone," she whispered.
We sneaked off somewhere.
"I overheard that you're going to have Kennedy here," she said. "I just want to tell you that I'm for him." It was like she was offering to sell atomic secrets. "I have a tip," she went on. "Don't put up any signs until an hour or two before he comes. Otherwise they'll tear them all down."
Bruno's response was to get highschool students to pass out handbills door to door "so that nobody could keep the news of a Kennedy visit from people." And such techniques had their usefulness elsewhere, and for other reasons:
In Wisconsin, at the urging of Joe Kennedy, we had hundreds of people distributing a tabloid newspaper about John Kennedy. It would have been cheaper—certainly easier—to hire a distribution company, but by using volunteers, it meant all these people and their families felt a commitment to the campaign. They were thinking about it. They were arguing the case for Kennedy to their friends. They were certain to vote on primary day, and to get out their friends.
The Advance Man contains tips on everything from how to deal with assassination threats ("Those who write don't shoot," Bobby Kennedy was fond of saying, "and those who shoot don't write") to the tactics required for filling a football stadium in Nashville. The aspirant advance man is advised…

Correction: it's normal mode, not insert mode.
o and O in insert mode have a pause
While in insert mode, o and O have a ~1 second pause before the command takes effect. This happens with both the current and development versions.
Comments (8)
Confirmed with a Windows build of GVim 7.2.234 and latest VimClojure default and bleeding-edge, with no other plugins and the following .vimrc:
set nocompatible syntax on filetype plugin indent on
It appears as if Vim is waiting for a potential key mapping when
ois pressed, but
:map oshows nothing.
:nmap o A<CR>works as a temporary fix.
There is also no pause with the default Lisp mode:
:set indentexpr= :set lisp
assigned issue to
Yes. I have no clue, why this is happening, nor what Vim is waiting for. The function called by o/O and hitting <CR> in insert mode is the same. So I don't really believe it's an issue with the function itself.
Any hints appreciated!
- assigned issue to
Ok, the difference I'm seeing in GDB is that when
ex_function()sets the
msg_scrollvariable to TRUE and the conditional in
check_for_delay()triggers a one second sleep.
indentexpris unset, then no Vim function is called when
ois pressed, the
msg_scrollvariable stays FALSE and there is no delay.
Here's the relevant part of the
edit()function, which calls
/* * edit(): Start inserting text. * * "cmdchar" can be: * 'i' normal insert command * 'a' normal append command * 'R' replace command * 'r' "r<CR>" command: insert one <CR>. Note: count can be > 1, for redo, * but still only one <CR> is inserted. The <Esc> is not used for redo. * 'g' "gI" command. * 'V' "gR" command for Virtual Replace mode. * 'v' "gr" command for single character Virtual Replace mode. * * This function is not called recursively. For CTRL-O commands, it returns * and lets the caller handle the Normal-mode command. * * Return TRUE if a CTRL-O command caused the return (insert mode pending). */ int edit(cmdchar, startln, count) int cmdchar; int startln; /* if set, insert at start of line */ long count; { <...> /* sleep before redrawing, needed for "CTRL-O :" that results in an * error message */ check_for_delay(TRUE); <...> }
So, it appears that the sleep is there because a Vim function is triggered by
oand may produce an error message, so we need to wait for that?
That's pretty much all that I managed to dig up. Perhaps it's time to ask the Vim mailing list.
Hmmm... I'm not sure that it is that easy. If it would just depend on indentexpr the following would also trigger the bug, but it doesn't.
function DelayBug() return 5 endfunction set indentexpr=DelayBug()
This works fine. So there is either some setting involved or it actually does depend on the function.
- attached sleep-bug-patch.diff
I went through the indenting code and checked each expression whether it triggers the bug or not. It turned out that there are three places where the bug is triggered:
- and two calls to
It seems that there are issues with the poor man's closure approach I used. Eg.
vimclojure#Yankyanks text into a register temporarily (I don't know of a function to retrieve the text under the cursor...). The previous register contents are restored afterwards. Similar did
MatchPairsfor the cursor position. Funnily
VimClojureCheckForStringdoes the same without triggering the bug.
Please try the attached patch. It should be functionally the same, while miraculously not triggering the bug... If there aren't any regression introduced I will commit this as a fix.
Looking good, haven't noticed any regressions so far. Thanks!

Metta Students Foundation awards Allison Quicho $1K scholarship for her work in school and the community.
TIVERTON — Allison Quicho can look at her calendar and see nothing but filled blocks.
It is okay, she said. The Tiverton High School senior would rather be busy than not.
So when she isn't studying, or preparing for her senior project, or teaching dance at Creative Dance Studio on Crandall Road, she volunteers.
Miles for Megan, the variety show at school, Becca's Closet.
"Honestly, I'm more at home when I give back," Quicho said. "I feel better that way.
"Plus you get to work with people and watch them. You get to really understand what makes people tick."
The side benefit, for Quicho, was cash. She learned in March that she won a $1,000 scholarship from the Metta Students Foundation for her work in her school and community.
The Metta Students Foundation was formed by Norman Kelly of East Greenwich in October 2012. Every month, a Rhode Island student is awarded a scholarship, to recognize volunteer work done.
Quicho was nominated by Cathy Winston, a guidance counselor at the high school.
"I get to work with a lot of really great students," Winston said. "But Allison really stands out.
"She is always willing to pitch in to help."
On a recent Tuesday after work, Quicho was in Revive Salon, 2515 East Main Road, Portsmouth, working on Becca's Closet, a program that provides free gowns, jewelry, shoes and fashion advice to high school girls going to the prom.
Quicho and her classmate, Samantha Marshall, organized students who sorted donated gowns and goods into sizes and colors and greeted the girls who signed up for pre-prom help.
Mary McGeough and Sharon Phelan, the owners of Revive Salon, closed their shop for the day and spent the time offering advice on clothing, hair and make-up. The Tiverton High School volunteers worked with them, fetching and returning gowns, necklaces, shawls and hats as outfits went together.
"You learn so much, doing this," Quicho said. "You see how people make decisions, you pick up pointers, plus you make friends."
She also volunteers with Miles for Megan, a bicycle ride or a group walk organized by John and Teresa Cordeiro of Tiverton to remember their daughter Megan who died in 2008 at the age of 11 when she and Allison were pals.
When she isn't busy as a volunteer, Quicho works as a dance instructor at Creative Dance. Leading dance classes offers many of the same rewards as volunteering, she said.
"It teaches you a lot," she said. "You are constantly going back to your basics, to review what you know.
"Plus, you get a boost from people relying on you."
Life will settle down, at least theoretically, in the fall. Quicho will wave good-bye to her parents, Cori Woodworth and Noel Quicho, to go to Hartwick College, Oneonta, N.Y.
She hopes, one day, to work as a neuropsychologist. She also hopes to complete her undergraduate degree in three years.
"I'm really looking forward to getting out and helping people," she explained.

X-Photographer Heinz Zak shoots snowboard on the X-H1
Austrian X-Photographer Heinz Zak climbed up the highest peak in Austria with the GFX
Heinz Zak (born in 1958 in Wörgl, Austria), has lived in Scharnitz, a town located on the foot of the Karwendel, for more than 30 years. He has been heading up into "his" mountains any time of the day throughout the seasons for just as long; time and again.
Not only is this renaissance man an author and photographer; Heinz Zak also facilitates periodic photography courses, works as a mountain exploration guide and hosts outdoor seminars as well as mountain climbing. His presentations are attended by thousands of enthusiastic participants year after year, while his photographs are published in magazines, books and calendars.
In my eyes, the Fujifilm X-T1 has revolutionized the world of photography. Thanks to the X-T1 I now get to play and have fun on a truly professional level. This camera system offers the perfect synthesis of weight, easy operation and quality. Photography continues to be more than "just" work for me – it is my great passion. It also challenges me constantly as I aim to capture and present a motif in the best possible way. The X-T1 definitely meets my exacting standards.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The No. 2 House Republican says the GOP-controlled chamber will vote later this month to ease some of the flood insurance premium increases hitting both coastal homeowners and people in inland flood zone.
Virginia Republican Eric Cantor says the House measure won't go as far as a Senate-passed bill that amounts to a four-year delay of premium increases enacted less than two years ago. Those changes were intended to reform the much-criticized federal flood insurance program, which is about $24 billion in the red.
But the Federal Emergency Management Agency's implementation of the reforms is threatening some homeowners with shocking premium increases that would make many people unable to afford their homes or sell them.
Cantor says details on the House measure will come later.

Invite from the Health Sciences Team
What a day! There were so many fantastic posters today that I
can't possibly report all of them. Luckily, so many researchers I
spoke with were receptive to the idea of chatting more, so I've got
some great information for future posts.
For now though, let's talk about Dali. There was a stint of time
this afternoon that was wide open for exploring St. Pete's. I used
the time to take in the works of Salvador Dali at the Dali Museum.
I know this is a taste blog, but humor me while I address the sense
of sight. Not a huge fan of Dali's surrealism, I today developed a
newfound respect for the artist during my time at the museum. His
work was surprisingly far-reaching and very diverse. There were
paintings from his early teenage years that were truly
extraordinary as he tried his hand at emulating some of the greats
(Picasso and the like).
And yes, he does have a painting called the Birth of Venus, but
that's not what this post will address. What I found there, in a
section of the museum displaying gold jewelry and eccentric plates
and utensils, was an unfinished oil painting on a gold cup, also
entitled the Birth of Venus. The inscription, which you'll find
below, was kindly given to me by a helpful docent there. I think,
you will find it incredibly interesting.
You can see why I was so excited, I had no idea that the huge
piece of topaz we have in our exhibit "Gems and Minerals" was
originally part of a proposed piece of art.
This gem (pun surely intended) of a find today in the realm of
surrealism, nicely leads me to another interesting tidbit I
stumbled upon. The story goes like this, I invited a stray pair of
scientists to join me for lunch a few days ago, as the seating was
full and I didn't need to have an entire table to myself. In a
lovely turn of events, the stray scientists were in fact some of
the pioneering researchers of the gene Tas2r38, Linda Bartoshuk and
Stephen Wooding.
The tidbit? Taste-altering consumables.
The first, called miracle fruit, I originally heard about from
fellow curator David Grinspoon over coffee one Friday morning. I
had completely forgotten about it until Steve and Linda began
telling me about this thing called "Miracle Food" (or so I thought
they said). They explained to me that it heightened the perception
of sweet, making lemons taste like lemonade for example, and
lemonade taste like, well like a sickeningly sweet liquid.
Tonight at the poster session however, I spoke with some other
folks and they were talking about "frooties". I had no idea what a
frootie was. "It's miracle fruit" I was told. Ah! Not miracle food,
but fruit. So speaking of senses, maybe I need to have my ears
So miracle fruit parties, where people experience tastes on a
whole new level are all the rage it seems. What I imagine isn't, is
the second tidbit, gynemic acid. You used to be able to get this in
a gum form, but you can't anymore, only in tablets. Why wouldn't
you want to have a gynemic acid party one might ask... well besides
the fact that it just doesn't sound cool, it doesn't taste cool
either. It takes away taste, so that sugar will feel like you are
eating sand!
And well, as much I wanted to share more science with you I've
reached my writing limit yet again, and sand reminds me that I'll
be leaving the silky white sands of the gulf coast tomorrow to head
back to what I hear has been a rainy spell in Denver.
So until next year, signing off from AChemS 2010 one last

Dayton: MNsure Problems A Concern As January 1 Nears
ST. PAUL (AP) - Gov. Mark Dayton says he's disappointed the state's health insurance exchange has not resolved problems with its operations as the Jan. 1 date for the state of coverage approaches.
Minnesota insurance companies are worried about continuing inaccuracy and other problems with data from MNsure. Dayton says those problems should be resolved by now.
MNsure officials have said they're working to resolve the problems.
Federal government numbers released Wednesday show Minnesota in the middle of the pack in signups so far for private insurance under the federal health overhaul, with 4, 478 people. However, the feds say an additional 5,703 people who signed up for MinnesotaCare through MNsure would have been eligible for private insurance in other states, which puts Minnesota closer to the front of the pack.

Why Rich People Are Fun!
Jamie mentioned in the comments on this post about sugar daddies that she hates most rich people. That struck us – and Eileen – as an unfair generalization, because we really believe that any kind of bigotry and discrimination against a class of people is wrong. We decided it was worth touching on the topic. Also, I threatened to go home and use all of my bandage dresses to stop up the big sad hole that had been ripped in my heart by all the hatred, so Ashley helped me make this picture of a smiling sailboat. It seemed like a shame to let that go to waste. His name is Schooner! So. How are rich people the funnest, with their anthropomorphic sailboats and glamour? This is how: [ITPGallery]

I spent the last day of February Break in Salem, with my two girls, a knitterly friend, and her adorable baby.
And since you always have to meet up with your knitting friends in the nearest yarn shop, we spent a little time in Seed Stitch. Seed Stitch is one of those cozy yarn shops with exposed brick walls, a big comfy sofa and magazines on every table. It just needs a coffee window and you could spend the day. It didn't hurt that the owner's daughter was behind the counter and exactly Zoe's age either. It may have been a long day in the shop, since little Maisie had already made a blanket fort out of the sofa and a sample knit or two. Zoe was happy to climb on in, and I was able to sniff around the store.
We all know I don't need a single skein of yarn right now, but I did need these vintage buttons. Our lunch was tasty, the girls loved the museum, we saw a Taylor Lautner lookalike (wearing a very small loincloth) do a few tribal dances, the baby was charming, and we even hit a magic shop. It was a good day for everyone, although I have no drink to share, since it's a drive away.
Now that break is over, I'm working busily on this spring design. After a few weeks in limbo, it's finally flying off the needles. The yarn is the Plucky Knitter's new MCN Sport, in this lovely shade of brown, called Lincoln. I am a bit in love with this color, which is coppery and rustic, like old pennies. With a tan and a tank top and old shorts, I have high hopes.
Plus, I already have the perfect name/drink for it... Charleston Tea.
