Comparing an Integer With a Floating-Point Number, Part 1: Strategy
Last week, I started discussing the problem of comparing two numbers, each of which might be integer or floating-point. I pointed out that integers are easy to compare with each other, but a program that compares two floating-point numbers must take NaN (Not a Number) into account.

That discussion omitted the case in which one number is an integer and the other is floating-point. As before, we must decide how to handle NaN; presumably, we shall make this decision in a way that is consistent with what we did for pure floating-point values.
Aside from dealing with NaN, the basic problem is easy to state: We have two numbers, one integer and one floating-point, and we want to compare them. For convenience, we'll refer to the integer as
N and the floating-point number as
X. Then there are three possibilities:
- Neither of the above.
It's easy to write the comparisons
N < X and
X < N directly as C++ expressions. However, the definition of these comparisons is that
N gets converted to floating-point and the comparison is done in floating-point. This language-defined comparison works only when converting
N to floating-point yields an accurate result. On every computer I have ever encountered, such conversions fail whenever the "fraction" part of the floating-point number — that is, the part that is neither the sign nor the exponent — does not have enough capacity to contain the integer. In that case, one or more of the integer's low-order bits will be rounded or discarded in order to make it fit.
To make this discussion concrete, consider the floating-point format usually used for the
float type these days. The fraction in this format has 24 significant bits, which means that
N can be converted to floating-point only when
|N| < 224. For larger integers, the conversion will lose one or more bits. So, for example, 224 and 224+1 might convert to the same floating-point number, or perhaps 224+1 and 224+2 might do so, depending on how the machine handles rounding. Either of these possibilities implies that there are values of
N and
X such that
N+1 == X, and (of course)
N < N+1. Such behavior clearly violates the conditions for C++ comparison operators.
In general, there will be a number — let's call it
B for big — such that integers with absolute value greater than
B cannot always be represented exactly as floating-point numbers. This number will usually be 2k, where
k is the number of bits in a floating-point fraction. I claim that "greater" is correct rather than "greater than or equal" because even though the actual value 2k doesn't quite fit in
k bits, it can still be accurately represented by setting the exponent so that the low-order bit of the fraction represents 2 rather than 1. So, for example, a 24-bit fraction can represent 224 exactly but cannot represent 224+1, and therefore we will say that
B is 224 on such an implementation.
With this observation, we can say that we are safe in converting a positive integer
N to floating-point unless
N > B. Moreover, on implementations in which floating-point numbers have more bits in their fraction than integers have (excluding the sign bit),
N > B will always be false, because there is no way to generate an integer larger than
B on such an implementation.
Returning to our original problem of comparing
X with
N, we see that the problems arise only when
N > B. In that case we cannot convert
N to floating-point successfully. What can we do? The key observation is that if
X is large enough that it might possibly be larger than
N, the low-order bit of
X must represent a power of two greater than 1. In other words, if
X > B, then
X must be an integer. Of course, it might be such a large integer that it is not possible to represent it in integer format; but nevertheless, the mathematical value of
X is an integer.
This final observation leads us to a strategy:
- If
N < B, then we can safely convert
Nto floating-point for comparison with
X; this conversion will be exact.
- Otherwise, if
Xis larger than the largest possible integer (of the type of
N), then
Xmust be larger than
- Otherwise,
X > B, and therefore
Xcan be represented exactly as an integer of the type of
N. Therefore, we can convert
Xto integer and compare
Nas integers.
I noted at the beginning of this article that we still need to do something about NaN. In addition, we need to handle negative numbers: If
X and
N have opposite signs, we do not need to compare them further; and if they are both negative, we have to take that fact into account in our comparison. There is also the problem of determining the value of
However, none of these problems is particularly difficult once we have the strategy figured out. Accordingly, I'll leave the rest of the problem as an exercise, and go over the whole solution next week.

Now that Kik is on the sidelines for Windows Phone, WhatsApp has become our default international messaging app on Windows Phone. Luckily for us the WhatsApp team is busy updating and adding new functions to the app, evidently back on their 30-day schedule.
Version 2.9.2 is now live in the Store and it's the one update you've been waiting for, as it really brings this app into its own.
New features include:
- Lock screen notification support
- New Tile design (less cartoony, more Metro)
- Backup function
- Hit "enter" as send
- Mass message
- New Attachment screen, including Audio, Video, Location, Picture, Camera and Contact
- Some new UI layout changes
Overall, it's an impressive update. The lock screen notifications go a long way to improving the app's usability on Windows Phone 8 and the message backup feature and new layout should also please long time users looking for a more robust experience.
Notifications have been more consistent for us than on Kik and hopefully that will continue with this app update.
Did we miss any new features? Let us know in comments. You can download WhatsApp for free here in the Store. All Windows Phones supported. Thanks, Dennis and others for the tip!

After a month delay, iTunes 11 was finally released yesterday. As we previously reported, the updated version was postponed due to an engineering problem that forced Apple developers to take some time to rebuild the program.The company had announced the new update and many of the expected features back in September at its iPhone 5 event, but it wasn't until we actually got some hands-on time with the new iTunes that we were really able to grasp what a major change this is for the music app.
An app used by both Mac and PC users alike; iTunes gets a lot of use, so let's see what an extra month allowed Apple to do. Here are some of iTunes 11's new features.
New MiniPlayer
The MiniPlayer could be one of the biggest changes or one of the most minuscule – depending on how many people realize it has actually been updated. MiniPlayer is one iTunes feature that often went unused simply because it didn't have much functionality before. In previous versions of iTunes, the MiniPlayer simply allowed users to minimize their iTunes screen and turn it into a small widget. The MiniPlayer showed the song name and allowed users to pause, play, and flip forward or backward between songs – and that's about it. With iTunes 11, MiniPlayer has not only increased its functionality but it also updated its look.
Apple has hidden the forward and backward buttons, the play/pause button, and the volume buttons so that they only appear when you hover over the MiniPlayer. Other new additions include a search bar, which searches your entire library; an audio menu, which allows you to select your speakers via AirPlay; and a list of songs you've added to your Up Next menu (more on Up Next below). The updated MiniPlayer might be one of the most underrated features on iTunes 11.
No more library sidebar
The way you navigate through the library is probably the biggest change to iTunes. The sidebar, which has been a staple in the application's history, is gone, leaving a huge mass of space for your album art to take over. If you want to switch between music, movies, TV shows, home sharing, or network libraries, there's a thin drop-down menu in the upper-left corner of the app. The only problem is, it makes it more difficult to navigate through videos, music, TV shows, apps, and the iTunes store. It's a small sacrifice for the added screen space and, after you see how much better the app is, aesthetically, you'll be wishing Apple implemented this feature years ago.
Since the sidebar is gone, the playlists feature has changed. On the top of the library, there are tabs that allow you to navigate between artists, genres, songs, albums, and playlists. The artists and playlist menu bring up a smaller sidebar, which provides a list of whatever playlist or artist you're looking for. We use playlists a lot and found this change to be just as efficient as the old sidebar.
For those of you who love the sidebar and can't live without it, Apple hasn't gotten rid of it completely. By going to the View menu and clicking "Show Sidebar," the sidebar will reappear in iTunes. You can also use the menu to bring back the status bar on the bottom that tells you how many songs, hours of music, and megabytes of music you have uploaded on iTunes. You'll also find an option to view "Up Next," a new feature that shows you what's coming up after your current song. You can add songs to Up Next by right-clicking on the song and selecting "Add to Up Next." The song will be added to the bottom of your playlist, but if you want to listen to it directly after the song you're currently jamming out to, then you can select "Play Next."
Both the iTunes Store and iTunes Match are also accessible from the top of the library. iTunes Match costs $25 a year and stores your entire library in iCloud, which lets you play your music and videos on any iOS device and your Apple TV.
iTunes Store looks the same on all iOS devices … finally
Speaking of the iTunes Store, for some reason, the OS X version was different from the iOS version in previous iterations of Tunes. Not a big deal for some, but kind of a pet peeve for others. Now, Apple's synced up the iTunes design so that it looks the same on all devices, no matter if they're running iOS or OS X.
Expanded view: a new way to browse through music
Expanded view changes the way you sift through music. It works a lot like the iOS folder mechanism: click on the album cover, and a list of songs open below the album. Also, the columns that have been a staple of iTunes, which allowed users to sort their data through various categories, like last played, date added, year, rating, and more, are completely gone. However, you can get them back using the View menu while you're in the Songs section.
Preview history
Just like with iOS 6, Apple has added preview history, allowing users to view the songs they've previewed on one device on another device. So, if you're browsing through songs on your iPhone while on the go, you can actually download the song on your computer once you get home and save yourself the hassle of trying to remember what it was. Thanks to iCloud, the song will be saved in your preview history.
More iCloud functionality
iTunes 11 lets you access your iTunes content on all of your iOS devices. Users can now download songs from their library for offline use, which can be useful when traveling. iCloud also remembers where you left off, so if you're watching a movie on your MacBook but have to run out the door, you can continue watching on your iPhone and start from the exact spot you left off. Apple's iBooks and Safari – and even popular third-party services like Netflix – have had this feature for years, and while it's taken some time for iTunes to jump on board, it's certainly a welcome addition.
iTunes 11 is probably the fastest version of the program we've seen yet. From loading up and selecting music, to downloading and playing videos, iTunes 11 is much faster than its predecessors. However, Apple did slightly increase the amount of CPU it uses in order to make the app faster. According to our tests, when playing music on iTunes 10, the program took around 5 percent of our CPU. In iTunes 11, iTunes takes up to 7.5 percent. We did a similar test for videos by playing the pilot episode of "Revolution." The copy we used was downloaded from the iTunes Store and is high-def quality. The program took up about 20 percent of our CPU with iTunes 10, and 21 percent with iTunes 11. Clearly, this isn't a big change, but it's important for users with slower, older, computers.
With the sidebar gone, your devices are now accessible in their own little tab in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. If you have more than one device, you'll be able to manage them by clicking on the devices tab, which brings up a drop-down menu of all of your connected devices. A very familiar screen comes up that resembles the device page from older versions of iTunes. There is one addition: a tab that says "On This Device," which gives you a rundown of exactly what's on each device. It's a welcome addition that puts everything on your iPad, iPod, or iPhone into a simple list that's easy to navigate.
Gift card scanner to come?
According to CNET, there's one more feature coming out in the next incremental update: a gift card scanner. Reportedly, the feature will let you use your iSight camera to add gift cards to your account. Though it's not currently available, iTunes will pull the alphanumeric code on the gift card so that you don't have to type it in. In order for it to work, the code must be printed within a rectangular box for the camera to recognize it. Users can still type in the code in case the iSight camera doesn't pick it up.
Should you get iTunes 11?
In a word, yes. iTunes 11 is a fantastic update. Apple has made it a lot faster, sleeker, and added many new features. The removal of data-filled columns and the sidebar leave the screen uncluttered and much easier to navigate. iTunes 11 looks like something modeled after Apple's iOS design, which is just a continuation of Apple's quest to create a unified operating system between its mobile devices and computers. It worked with Mountain Lion, which added key iOS features like Notification Center and iMessages, and it certainly works with the new iTunes update. Clearly, CEO Tim Cook, and Apple executives Jony Ive and Eddy Cue are working diligently to push Apple into the future. And, if the future of Apple looks as great as iTunes 11, we can't help but be excited.
If you're not entirely thrilled with the new design and long for the look of past iTunes versions, we have a few tips that'll help you make iTunes 11 look more like iTunes 10.

Artists rendering of Charley Ross
On December 14, 1874, a botched burglary attempt at the home of wealthy New Yorker Holmes Van Brunt leads to the possible perpetrators of notorious child kidnapping. On July 1, 1874, Charley (then four years old) and his older brother Walter Lewis (aged five) were playing in the front yard of their family's home in Germantown, a well-to-do section of Philadelphia. A horse-drawn carriage pulled up and they were approached by two men who offered the boys candy and fireworks if they would take a ride with them.
The boys agreed and they all proceeded through Philadelphia to a store where Walter was directed to buy fireworks inside with 25 cents given to him. Walter did so, but the carriage left without him. Charley Ross was never seen again.
Christian K. Ross, the boy's father, began receiving ransom demands from the apparent kidnappers. They arrived in the form of notes mailed from post offices in Philadelphia and elsewhere, all written in an odd hand and in a coarse, semi-literate style with many simple words misspelled. The communications generally requested a ransom of $20,000, an enormous sum at the time. The notes cautioned against police intervention and threatened Charley's life if Christian did not cooperate. Christian Ross owned a large house and was thought to be wealthy, but was actually heavily in debt, due to the stock market crash of 1873, and could not afford such an amount. Seeing no other choice, Christian went to the police. The kidnapping soon became national news. In addition to the heavy press coverage, some prominent Philadelphians enlisted the help of the famous Pinkerton detective agency, who had millions of flyers and posters printed with Charley's likeness. Several attempts were made to provide the kidnappers with ransom money as dictated in the notes, but in each case the kidnappers failed to appear. Eventually, communication stopped.
On the evening of December 14, 1874, the Long Island house belonging to Judge Charles Van Brunt was burglarized. Holmes Van Brunt, Charles' brother, lived next door, and gathered the members of his household, armed with shotguns to stop the intruders in the act. As they entered Charles' house, they saw two lanterns go out, and the resulting torrent of gunfire from Holmes and his men brought down both burglars where they stood. They were Bill Mosher and Joe Douglas, career criminals who had recently been released from jail. Mosher died at the scene but Douglas, mortally wounded, managed to live long enough to communicate with Holmes. Everyone present was understandably shaken by the experience, and there is no clear consensus regarding exactly what Douglas said. Most agree that Douglas said that there was no point in lying (as he was about to die) so he admitted that he and Mosher abducted Charley Ross. His further statements, if any, are more controversial. He either said that Charley was killed, or that Mosher knew where Charley was, possibly adding that he would be returned unharmed to the Ross' within a few days. In any case, he did not give any clues to Charley's location or other particulars of the crime, and died soon afterwards. Charley's brother Walter was taken to New York City to look at the bodies of Mosher and Douglas so as to determine if they were the men from the carriage ride. Walter confirmed that they were the same men who took the boys from in front of their home the previous summer. For most, the issue of who the men in the carriage were was settled beyond reasonable doubt but Charley was not returned.
A former Philadelphia policeman named William Westervelt, a known associate of Bill Mosher, was arrested and held in connection with the case and was tried in 1875 for kidnapping. Though Westervelt was a friend and perhaps a confidant of Mosher (while in prison awaiting trial he had told Christian Ross that Charley had been alive at the time of Mosher's death), there was virtually no evidence to tie him to the crime itself. Walter, for one, insisted that Westervelt was not one of the men in the carriage that took them away. Westervelt was found not guilty of the kidnapping but was convicted of the lesser crime of conspiracy and served six years in prison. He always maintained his own innocence and swore that he did not know where Charley was.
The Ross family continued to search for Charley for half a century or more, following leads and interviewing thousands of boys, teenagers, and eventually grown men who claimed to have been Charley. An estimate of the expenses incurred by the Ross' during the decades-long search amounts to more than three times what the original ransom would have been. This case generated lots of media publicity, and was the first widely followed kidnap-for-ransom incident in U.S. criminal history. Over the next 50 years there was a spike in the number of such cases, culminating with the kidnapping of Charles Lindbergh's son in 1932. Following that high-profile crime, the government's power over criminal matters was greatly broadened, and the penalties for kidnapping were increased. A major missing person's database is named after Charley Ross and the common admonition "don't take candy from strangers" is said to have come from this case.

Or how to be successful/popular/sought after as a journalist/writer/author especially abroad. Here are the rule(s) of thumb when writing about India for a Western audience...
Heres how you go about it.
Your piece has to start well. Therefore you first create, with good vocabulary, a nice paragraph on the social inequities in India. Keywords to be used are caste, poverty, illiteracy. Statistics like 80% of India lives on farms or 50% of India is illiterate or 70% of India does not use soap can be very handy. Other than percentages, use population figures. 4,32, 1235 houses do not have more than 12 volts of electricity for 3 days of the week would make a great sentence. Include a few names like Vidharba, Madurai if you want greater impact other than the usual outskirts of Bangalore or Hyderabad or slums of Mumbai. If you want to become particularly rabid at this juncture mention child marriage. A comparison with Pakistan and Bangladesh at this juncture would make great reading especially from a literacy rates standpoint or the great strides those two nations have made. If you have to mention China, mention that they are simply a great nation or that they will overtake India in the next 3 minutes. Never, not even once, create an impression that overall India is moving in the right direction.
The second paragraph should be about India's growth in the last few years. Don't forget to add a sentence in the end of this para to denounce the growth. Keep this para as short as possible. Keywords are myth, haves vs have nots, elitist bias. So, a sentence in this paragraph should read, even though India's IT and BPO sector has grown, farmers commit suicides. Do not, repeat, do not make a connection that reforms have never really happened in the farm sector and that it is because reforms have not reached them that this happens. Insist, by repeated assertion, that it is IT and its success at the expense of the farm sector that causes this to happen.
In the third para or thereabouts, compare to death. Example: Compare the life of an educated professional with a gardener and say that the gardener earns about 1/10th of what the professional earns. The other good comparison is the number of hutments outside the balcony of your hotel room or the number of beggars in trains. Wonder aloud why reforms have not reached beggars travelling on trains. In the same trend close your eyes to the number of people cellphones have reached, also close your eyes to how individuals are pulling themselves out of poverty using these very things.
Over the next few paras, whine and whine. Now that you already know how to write, just continue in the same vein. For every one sentence of India's growth, three sentences have to denounce it in the strongest terms. Mention two murders which took place recently in fairly graphic detail.
Somewhere just before the end, mention that India's progress has not benefited anybody. Do not talk about people who have gotten out of poverty thanks to this progress. Try to ignore gardeners who maintain lawns in the IT campuses, also ignore cab drivers who are cab owners today. Preferably avoid talking to maids and security guards who would not have had a job if it were not for this level of growth. Try not to talk to people who are working hard so that their children are educated and their next generation gets out of poverty. Also, if you have to mention that the BPO sector attracts fresh graduates, mention that these jobs are bad for their gall bladder at the very least. Ignore the fact that for many graduates, a BPO job is a godsend without which they would be working for peanuts at best or standing at the end of a long line at the employment exchange. Ignore the fact that for many of them, the job is a stepping stone to many other things. Ignore the fact that BPOs treat them with dignity and pay them well. Ignore the fact that jobs are available for the asking in India at almost all levels. Cooks to caterers to security guards to courier boys to shop assistants to technology architects to structural engineers. Also never once, ask the question to the man on the street - has their life changed for the better over the last 10 years. (Believe me, the answer, except in some very dark corners or leftists, will be a resounding yes.)
Your last paragraph has to sound a warning to all those who read your article. Mention about how people and companies and the government has to take more responsibility for poverty and paint it with a broad brush of "private public partnership to make a significant impact".
And oh, the title of your article should be sufficiently apocalyptic. "Social inequality threatening India's Economic Stability" would make a great example.
BTW, India really is about contrasts. While not getting carried away by the growth and saying all is well here, let us also not go to the other extreme of saying that the reforms have done nothing and that all is wrong here. Neither will reforms take away inequity all of a sudden nor will inequity take away reforms. Both these arguments miss the wood for the trees (or whatever).

Well done. Hard hitting, insightful and most important, accurate. One could keep building on this as there is no dearth of new material, although mostly old wine in a new bottle.
Maybe we can come up with a "Write about India for Dummies" bestseller.

When you get good at this, don't forget that you'll also be sought after by The Hindu, The Frontline, The Times of India, The EPW... well, practically the entire Indian MSM, and not to forget, the PMO to be a ghost writer!

Immmmmmmmmmm.....what is so insightful in this write up other than the sarcasm you spewed all over about writers. Perhaps, your disguised intention about all the writing on India is a crap?. I don't see your intention is served either by looking at the comments?. Your hedonic ideas were not even sensed by any of your loyal readers.
If you want to make sense out of India, it is better to accept first our problems. It is a good start to reform India by accepting the filthy social structure of caste. Just like for the first time in the history our Prime Minister cadidly accepted the caste system is like apartheid.
You have to accept the nature of India before making any change, because we denied even the basic human rights to certain sections of the society now everyone has to pay for it. The social inequality, barbaric idol worshiping cultures bought us an ancient social culture, and we live in the nomadic and ancient culture with castes and those stupidity.
How can any writing of India go to the next step without justifying the hindu varna culture, one has to write about it, if there is anything else to write, it will follow then.
there is saying in Tamil, the cat that is beeing pushed and pushed to catch a mouse will never be a good mouse hunter? So, your sarcasm though was not understood by the readers, but they thought this is some kind of an article with good tips to write a blog, just like the cat example?.
Perhaps, the rational fool is the only one grasped just what you have scribbled in this blog article or it sounds so?

He's responding to market forces. Imagine what would have happened to Arundhati Roy, Pankaj Mishra and Praful Bidwai if they had not heeded your advice.
You should start a school to train budding authors. For those writing for tabloids and glossy women's/teenagers magazines, you could add in the one about training your own elephant, sleeping with the priest or introducing bras to the Indian woman.
Pssst, Anonymous. The worst way to respond to sarcasm is with seriousness.

I think I'm gonna apply now as a writer about India to the foreign media. I just need a degree or an internship with Newsweek and it should be cool, right?!
I think I'll go for it! Thanks to your post. :-P

That's hilarious! This is the formula mostly followed by writers who try to explain India to the west. There should be something thrown in about a sham democracy (One exception is Francois Gautier).

Hey anonymous, dude you are the one who have got it wrong. First read the fucking post carefully and god! don't trans-literate tamil sayings in to english.
Guess what! The Hindu Varna culture just got authorised by the Govt. of India some 50 years ago but with a slight difference small percentage of the people who say they belong to the oppressed class will get govt. dole and special funds from the tax payers money. the others of the oppressed class who could not get decent education due to the fucking govt. regulations will remain the same.
Stop blaming caste! start blaming your govt. for not giving decent education to the oppressed!

When you let them go hoo-haa about the good stuff (The NYT runs a story almost every week on the 'GOOD' part of India's economic boom), you have let them talk about the relatively bad stuff too. Trust me, in development circles, India is not even a story anymore. They think we have made it (which is far from true), while we are busy building Formula One tracks with agricultural land -- now that a story...isnt?
- 5:27 AM, December 30, 2006
Arcopol: You don't even need a degree nor an internship to become a writer for foreign newsmedia on India. Just find a niche that no one else is blogging about and write away... seriously!

Idol worshipping barbaric culture? Seriously, what's the problm with people of certain persuasions who can't respect others' rituals and practises. As if eating cows and things that move is very civilized.

Absolutely hilarious and true. I should agree, most of the NYT/India articles are disappointing, if not all.

A picture of roads with chaotic traffic would be perfect. If you wanna go a step further, mention the Indian Interstates, but don't forget to show a picture where farmers and cows are crossing the road.
Great article btw!

Think I m a little late...
Good satire..
But couldnt help differing on this one:
"ask the question to the man on the street - .... will be a resounding yes.)"
I would ask this question too. "Is he happier than he was 10 years back?" His needs and desires seem to have grown, and his heart burns more when he sees wealth being flaunted. He feels its easier to grab now than to wait for fruits of labour to be borne generations later. He feels a righteous anger and a skewed sense of injustice. The recent unrest over trivial issues in Bangalore (read 'rise of antisocial elements') is something worth looking into.. Its not all black, but then again, neither is it all rosy.
- 6:40 PM, May 08, 2007
"Is the average bloke happier than he was 10 years back?" That is a question which will throw up as many answers as the number of people. But we need a voice wherein we can speak about news stories that affect us (common citizens). I was looking for citizen journalism sites and came across an interesting one where ordinary users can discuss issues affecting them.. http://www.cuttingchaai.com/ Check it out... let me know if you find anything interesting..

For a long time I have wondered why don't we see some positive article on India in the western media and today when i read your blog it became clear.
Very well written.

Nice one. Very insightful as several others mentioned.
By judging India harshly the outsiders kind of get aura of knowledge, or at least they think so. By being cynical the insiders get an excuse for not doing anything. Win-Win, isn't it?
Unfortunately most of the time the people who counter argue are those who believe India has no problems and is an inch away from being a superpower. So their arguments do more harm than cure.
That's why it is very refreshing to read a post like this.

Neelakantan - that was a wonderful post and a very timely one. So many of these bloggers write just to satiate their pessimistic existences. Not once do they care to research or do a study before making sweeping generalizations and groundless accusations.
Thank you for writing this. In many ways it's inspiring to ordinary people like us.
Loved your last paragraph
"India really is about contrasts. While not getting carried away by the growth and saying all is well here, let us also not go to the other extreme of saying that the reforms have done nothing and that all is wrong here. Neither will reforms take away inequity all of a sudden nor will inequity take away reforms. Both these arguments miss the wood for the trees (or whatever)."

I am a Canadian writer now writing a book set in India. I fear, after reading your post that I am doomed. I do not write about poverty, caste, or illiteracy in the first paragraph. I use very few statistics. I have yet to mention child marriage. I do talk to a maid, a driver and a gardener, as well as a photojournalist and a chef. Sadly, I must delete my entire two year's work and start over. But, the good news is, if I do all that you say, I should have a best seller. Satirically Yours, Nancy

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs will be featured in a 2015 stamp being designed by the U.S. Postal Service and will join fellow Bay Area icons Harvey Milk and the Peanuts Gang, who also will be honored with their own stamps.
The stamp for Milk, an openly gay San Francisco supervisor who was killed by former Supervisor Dan White in 1978, has already been designed for release this year, but remains under wraps, according to the Washington Post, which obtained a list of upcoming stamps to be released by the Postal Service.
Jobs, Milk and the Peanuts Gang will join a list of real and imagined notables getting their own stamps, including Dora the Explorer, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Charlton Heston, John Lennon, Wilt Chamberlain, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown and Johnny Carson. A stamp of Elvis Presley, the Postal Service's top-seller stamp, will be reissued.

The study, the work of scientists at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado, concluded that oil and gas activity contributed about 55 percent of the volatile organic compounds linked to unhealthy ground-level ozone in Erie.
Key to the findings was the recent discovery of a "chemical signature" that differentiates emissions from oil and gas activity from those given off by automobiles, cow manure or other sources of volatile organic compounds.
"There were very, very few data points that did not fall on the natural gas line," Jessica Gilman, research scientist at CIRES and lead author of the study, said Wednesday. "We had a very strong signature from the raw natural gas."
CIRES is a joint institute of CU and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Its study was published online Monday in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.
Emissions detected in Boulder
The air quality monitoring effort, dubbed the Boulder Atmospheric Observatory, was conducted in February and March of 2011 on a tower set up a couple of miles east of downtown Erie.
It showed that, on average, Erie had highly elevated levels of propane in its air -- 10 times the levels found in famously smoggy Pasadena, Calif., and four times those in Houston. The results prompted town leaders last year to place a six-month moratorium on new drilling applications while they gathered additional information on the fast-growing industry.
But trying to determine exactly how much of Erie's propane was due to the thousands of gas wells located in and around town, and how much was due to the effects of being part of a major metropolitan area, was inexact at best.
Until now.
"What we saw at the Boulder Atmospheric Observatory was the mixing of two sources -- oil and gas and vehicles," Joost de Gouw, research physicist at CIRES, said. "For each compound, we can separate how much came from oil and gas and how much came from vehicles."
The researchers arrived at the unique chemical signature by analyzing the chemical makeup of all their air samples, characterizing 53 different types of volatile organic compounds and comparing the results to the composition of raw natural gas.
"We estimate 55 percent of the compounds contributing to ozone formation in Erie are from oil and gas," de Gouw said.
And it's not just Erie that is affected by oil and gas activity, which has exploded in recent years in the gigantic Wattenberg Gas Field northeast of Denver. The study showed that scientists found the telltale signs of drilling emissions in air samples taken in Fort Collins and Boulder, albeit in lesser amounts.
"Air pollution can travel many, many miles downwind from the source," Gilman said. "Air doesn't stop at any border."
Health effects in dispute
But whether emissions from oil and gas activity are endangering human health on a wide scale continues to be fiercely debated. Multiple families in Erie and around the state have complained that living so close to wells has made them sick, with nosebleeds, asthma and headaches as common symptoms.
But two studies commissioned by the town last year concluded that the levels of propane in Erie weren't concerning.
One environmental consulting firm concluded that even a lifetime exposure to the concentrations cited in the CIRES study would have a "low" risk of causing adverse health effects. A second firm stated that the town's propane levels were "1,000-fold or more below those considered to be of health concern."
Doug Flanders, spokesman for the Colorado Oil and Gas Association, wrote in an email Wednesday that Denver's air quality is "much better" than that of Houston or Los Angeles.
"December 2012 EPA data show Denver-area smog levels are well below those of Houston or Los Angeles," he wrote.
Gordon Pierce, technical services program manager for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's air pollution control division, said the state put in place stricter ozone controls in 2006 and 2008 for the oil and gas industry.
New control requirements were established for condensate tanks and new reporting and record-keeping requirements were also implemented. Late last year, Pierce said, the state adopted new EPA rules regarding emissions at gas wells. But he said his agency will continue to monitor the effects of the industry in Colorado, which now has more than 50,000 active wells.
There may not be proven health effects from individual volatile organic compounds, Pierce said, but when those compounds are combined with nitrogen oxides from vehicle tailpipes and baked in the sun, they form ozone. At ground level, ozone can cause breathing difficulties and eye irritations, especially among the young and elderly.
He said it's possible that if a strong enough link is established between oil and gas operations and high levels of ozone, the state could pursue stronger regulatory measures.
"We're always looking at different strategies for reducing ozone," Pierce said.
Pointing to Weld County
In the meantime, anti-drilling activists such as Jen Palazzolo plan to use the CIRES study's findings to once again put pressure on Erie's elected leaders to be tougher on oil and gas operators in town. Palazzolo is a leader of Erie Rising, a group that has strongly resisted oil and gas drilling in Erie.
"The study supports information that we've been trying to put out and that the industry has been trying to shoot down," she said. "There's no way you can argue against the fact that oil and gas contributes to ozone precursors."
After its drilling moratorium expired in September, Erie entered into memoranda of understanding with two operators that require them to use steel-rim berms around tanks and separators, closed-loop systems for drilling and completion operations, and a more effective vapor recovery unit for new wells. The companies also agreed not to use hydraulic fracturing fluid products that contain diesel, 2-Butoxyethanol or benzene.
But Palazzolo and others opposed to the industry say those agreements don't do nearly enough to protect the public health.
"It's time for us to re-address this with the Erie Board of Trustees and ask them if they are going to continue approving the number of oil and gas operations that are planned in town," she said.
Erie Trustee Mark Gruber said the town has done just about all it can on the issue, given the reality that control over the industry rests with the state and not local communities. Furthermore, he wonders how effective additional restrictions would be given the fact that the science indicates that volatile organic compounds are windborne and travel long distances.
"By and large, the contamination we see -- if it's in Erie, I'm going to point to Weld County," he said. "We're between a rock and a hard place. We've got 300 wells, they've got 19,000. We can't build a wall to stop the emissions coming from Weld County."
The county had 19,799 active wells as of last week, and in 2012 saw 1,826 well permits approved, representing 48 percent of all permits approved statewide that year.
Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway said his county works closely with state health authorities on ensuring the cleanest footprint from oil and gas operations. Ninety-five to 98 percent of emissions are being captured by the industry now, he said, and ozone levels have actually decreased in his county over the last few years.
Still, he said he welcomes the news this week that emissions from the oil and gas industry can be specifically traced by their chemical makeup. He said it could serve as a powerful tool for dealing with the industry from a factual standpoint, rather than an emotional one.
"If they are able to identify this now, it will give us a good starting point in identifying what are the actual impacts of this and how we go about ensuring public health and safety," Conway said.

Since the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, the number of women infected with HIV has rapidly increased and is continuing to climb. The Women's Interagency HIV Study is being conducted in several cities in the United States to learn more about how HIV affects women's lives and bodies. It will examine the role of HLA and killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) in HIV and related infections in HIV-positive and HIV-negative women. The study will determine the relationship between KIR and HLA genes and the following: the risk of HIV infection; HIV levels in the blood; incidence of AIDS; response to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART); and response to immunotherapy.
Approximately 3,700 women will participate. Participants will visit the clinic every 6 months for 4 years. An HIV test will be given each time to HIV-negative women. A questionnaire will also be administered. A physical examination and gynecological examination will be given. Blood, vaginal swabs, and urine will be collected for testing. A biological impedance test will determine any changes in weight, waist-to-hip ratios, and breast and total body fat. Low CD4 counts and hospitalizations for HIV are to be self-reported to study staff.
|Condition or disease
The aim of the study is to examine the role of HLA and killer immunolobulin-like receptors (KIR) in the natural history of HPV, HCV, and HBV in HIV-positive and HIV-negative women. The immune response to viral infection mediated by T lymphocytes is HLA restricted, suggesting that HLA class I, and class II might be associated with risk of viral infection, persistence and disease progression. Natural killer (NK) cells are a unique group of lymphocytes involved in surveillance and killing of foreign or infected cells through a mechanism involving recognition of HLA molecules by an extremely diverse set of receptors on the NK cell surface. A major group of these receptors are the KIRs. Thus, a relationship between KIR genotype and HIV infection is biologically plausible, and requires further investigation in observational studies.
The WIHS study is a prospective study, which may allow us to answer questions relating to the role of host HLA and KIR genotype on duration of infection, and the development of virus-associated diseases such as cervical cancer (related to HPV infection), and liver cancer (HBV and HCV). WIHS is a large, racially and geographically diverse cohort of HIV positive (n = 2761), and risk-matched HIV-negative women (n = 942). The large size of the cohort will provide substantial statistical power, which is of major importance in any HLA association study.

Apparently more obscure adjectives are combined with obscene intensifiers less regularly than more common adjectives. This is not particularly exciting; the sorts of people who use the word "evanescent" are probably a bit more of a careful, erudite (erudite as shit) lot, and less prone to vulgarity.
I guess part of the point of this comic is that some words turn up with certain foul-languaged descriptions more often than with others. I don't know. The visual display is actually pretty damn crappy (it's pretty fucking pretty darn crappy) so I can't tell just by looking. The horizontal axis is a measure of frequency of "fuck" or "shit" occurrences relative to non-fuck-shit occurrences, but since it's the natural log of the ratio I can't intuitively see whether some of these patters are meaningful or not.
All the other problems with this graph are generally the same as the ones linked to above (and linked to here as well).
Take a look at comic 5, panel 3 in today's Kate Beaton. Then take a look at today's Kris Straub. What's up with that? I guess it's a coincidence? Or perhaps there is some greater cultural reference that I do not understand.

There's no question that wood cabinet hardware is a natural choice for those who want to create an earthy feel in their space. The addition of wood handles, wood knobs and wood pulls to any room adds warmth, character and distinction without costing a fortune. Just as trees live for years and still stand gracefully, wood handles and wood knobs are easy to install and designed to endure years of usage.
Wood cabinet hardware is available in a variety of different wood types, each of which has its own unique grain and color varieties. Homeowners who want to integrate their wood knobs or wood handles seamlessly into their space can choose unfinished wood cabinet hardware that can be easily painted to match the color of the walls or the décor of the room. With their golden brown color and smooth surface, oak knobs and oak pulls are increasingly popular for spaces with a rustic design or a lightly-colored motif. Oak knobs can be adorned with metal trim or design for additional style, while traditional oak pulls can be found in a range of drill centers - perfect for replacing old cabinet hardware or creating a new look. Likewise, homeowners can find a maple handle with almost any drill center and use it to update the look of any existing cabinetry.
Wood handles, wood knobs and wood pulls are perfect for country-styled spaces, rustic retreats and other warm spaces. Because wood cabinet hardware is available in a variety of wood types and grains, wood hardware can be selected to match any furniture, cabinets or kitchen accessories, creating a tasteful, integrated look in any space.

Revision as of 09:04, 1 January 2007
This article
Based on work by andre.
Originally by mindbender.
at Linkstationwiki.org
Kernel 2.6
Upgrade from Buffalo's outdated kernel 2.4, currently included in the Debian (FreeLink) release, on LS1, HG, HS, KuroBox, and KuroHG. There's a package with additional files for users on Openlink, Sylver, or Stock Firmwares. Gentoo is supported aswell, altough it hasn't been tested thoroughly yet.
Firmware flashing currently requires kernel 2.4; you've got to disable kernel 2.6 temporarily for it, as described in User Control phase at the bottom of this page.
Our 2.6* kernels address virtually all shortcomings of the LS stock kernels: Very good USB support, NFS, routing, quotas, and much more.
More than 600 modules are available, yet optional. As the "LS core functions", support for mass storage devices and printing, have been compiled into the kernel, you could delete the modules if you were short on disk space.
Easy Installation
An easy-to-use (yet powerful) webinstaller is provided; please see http://hvkls.dyndns.org/downloads/documentation/README-webinstaller.html for details.
Having run the webinstaller and rebooted twice, execute
uname -a
- If you see a 2.4.x kernel, it didn't work. Gather information, and get help. While booted into the stock kernel, check the output of
cat /boot*/boot.log dmesg | head lspci uname -a
- For advanced troubleshooting, check out the "Bootloader System Control Phase" section below.
Staying Up-To-Date
- There's an RSS feed at http://hvkls.dyndns.org/index.rss which informs about the latest versions and serves as a Changelog. In case you can't access this resource, or are interested in older news, point your browser to http://hvkls.dyndns.org/news/ instead, the Changelog archive. Note that MSIE browsers might not display the pages correctly.
- If you keep up with development, remove the obsoleted old modules from time to time. Old modules consume a lot of space. Always keep the 2.4* modules and the 2.6.* modules with the highest version number, and you're on the safe side.
rm -r /lib/modules/2.6.old.versions-only
- Kernel modules can be loaded by
modprobe modulename
without the .ko extension, e.g.,
modprobe fuse
- If you don't need any functionality beyond what you could achieve using the 'original' web interface and want to conserve disk space, you can delete the modules altogether, using
rm -r /lib/modules/2.6*
The kernel headers are available; see http://hvkls.dyndns.org/downloads/documentation/README-kernel-headers.html
The boot process and how to control it
All Linkstations, Kuro Boxes, and Kuro HGs are supported by the bootloader, if running a Buffalo (Stock Firmware, OpenLink, Sylver) or Debian (FreeLink) style init system, aswell as Gentoo's BSD style.
The "bootloader" really is a kernel loader: The system boots into the Buffalo kernel in the Flash ROM, then checks your LS flavor and loads the special kernel module /boot/loader*.o, which in turn boots the new kernel /boot/vmlinux.bin*. The process is fail-safe to our best knowledge: The operation is performed on a read-only file system. If booting the new kernel fails, the old one simply continues booting; or your next boot will take you back to the old kernel. Errors are logged, if possible.
If the U-Boot bootloader is detected, the kernel loader will quit silently, which makes it 100% compatible.
The bootloader itself is controlled in two phases, the first shall be used by the system only, the second by the user.
System control phase
On startup, the bootloader checks for the presence of the files /boot/try_new_kernel*. The files are initially created for you in /boot. They must contain
echo -n "vmlinux.bin*" > /boot/try_new_kernel*
with * expanding to LS, HG, II, KB, KG, or KO respectively (i.e., you've got to fill in the right code).
If the file reflecting the target system doesn't exist, or contains unexpected content, or a file /boot/try_new_kernel*.running exists, the old kernel continues booting. If it does, the root filesystem is remounted read-write, the control file is moved to /boot/try_new_kernel*.running, and the root filesystem is remounted read-only. Thereafter, an attempt to load the new kernel is made. If this attempt is successful, /boot/try_new_kernel* is restored on shutdown and reboot.
Do not interfere unless you have to, which is only the case if your first boot into the new kernel failed, or your system wasn't able to run complete its reboot or shutdown procedure (e.g., due to a power outage).
In case you have to recover from a power failure or other event which prevented the system from running its shutdown or reboot scripts:
mv /boot/*running /boot/$(basename /boot/*running .running) && reboot || echo "failed"
If it worked, the box should reboot into kernel 2.6. If it doesn't, perform
cd /boot/ rm *running 2>/dev/null ls -1 loader* | sed -e "s/^.*loader\(.*\)\.o$/\1/" | while read a ; do echo -n "vmlinux.bin${a}" > /tmp/try_new_kernel${a} ; done reboot
No action is performed if /boot/uImage is detected. The kernel loader assumes you've got the U-Boot bootloader installed, and quits silently.
User control phase
In a second step, the bootloader reads /etc/default/boot_new.sh to determine what system it runs on. You can configure the NO_START variable here but should not have to touch the others.
If you change NO_START="0" to NO_START="1" in /etc/default/boot_new.sh, the LS will boot into kernel 2.4.* from the next system start up on. You can switch between the two settings whenever you want. Don't forget to reboot to activate them.
Errors will be written to /boot/boot.log, if possible.

Soaking in a sunny afternoon in Utah, the 2011 TransWorld TransAM touched down at a little place called Park City, where palm trees, umbrellas, beach balls, and snow sculptures galore took center stage. Peep the snaps by Russell Kaczmar, with the video to follow shortly.
Words: Jason "Hondo" Newman
The sun was beginning to set on February 12, 2011 as 98 hungry competitors gathered at the top of the Trans-Am course at Park City Mountain Resort. This was a course unlike anyone in attendance had ever seen. Jeremy Cooper and the rest of the Park City park staff had created a monstrosity of a TransAm Course.
The course layout went a little something like this. It all started with the Vitamin Water Stur-D drop-in zone where competitors could slam down a refreshing beverage before strapping in and annihilating the features. At the top you had three choices, you could hit the awesome Giro ledge which had a corrugated section or an angled section or you could hit the Anon feature. Now the Anon feature was no joke. This feature was a huge corrugated dumpster followed by a down ledge. Riders had to be fearless to hit this thing, it sent shivers down my spine just watching them ride it. People were nose-pressing, board-sliding, and 50-50ing this thing every which way. It was insane. If neither of those features tickled the riders fancy at the moment, they also had the option of hitting the Zumiez "living room set" feature. This feature was an up rail over an entire living room. How many times can you say that you hit a rail and jumped over a couch and a TV set? Yeah, I didn't think too many.
If you were able to survive the top of the course then you had much more excitement and adventure ahead of you. The two options here were the High Cascade Snowboard Camp "Snow bus", or the Ride Snowboards "Wish you Were Here" feature. The High Cascade "snow bus" was a cheese wedge plastic box onto a giant bus made of snow with a drop off jump. This was not just an ordinary dinky bus made out of snow though, not at all. This bus had a full on exhaust, license plates, and it was yellow; very true to form. Riders were going bananas off of this thing. The Ride Snowboards "Wish you Were Here" obstacle was of equal spectacle. It looked like it was straight out of a Maui postcard. It was a gap jump over some lawn chairs, palm trees, and at one point there were even babes laying around. It was as if the beach was able to be brought right into the great American West. Riders were spinning wild in every direction, trying to become the ultimate Trans-Am champion.
But these two features were not the end of the course, far from it. At the very end of this amazing course laid the Coal headwear "snow beanie". This giant beanie was truly amazing. It was not just a beanie, but in fact it was a full face complete with a nose, and eyes. It actually kind of looked like High Cascade founder John Ingersoll. It was pretty unreal, a true work of craftsmanship. People were doing every type of stall and plant imaginable, the beanie really did get a hurt put on it.
The contest began with 98 registered competitors. Straight from the beginning the riding was off to an insane start. With in the first 15 minutes Christian Hobush had already board-slid, nose-pressed, and front board-slid the Anon feature. Other riders like Ozzy Henning, and Shelby Layman took to the Zumiez couch feature as well as the Ride feature. Also can't forget to mention Red Girard who was completely annihilating everything in his path; pretty impressive riding from such a tiny human. He took top grom and received a High Cascade backpack with some goggles from Anon, and hoodie from Giro, and some Coal beanies.
But at the end of the day it was down to three guys, and three girls, as well as a top grom, and best trick. The results were announced with a really fun pizza party.
For the ladies it was Wiki Jones taking third place and received a High Cascade Snowboard Camp backpack filled with Anon goggles, a Giro hoodie, and some Coal beanies. All of the top three received these back packs. But Wiki also received for her valiant effort a Justien Bieber calendar. She's stoked. Second place for the ladies was Tanya Schmid. She got one of those goodie filled back packs, and an awesome fury bracelet making machine from High Cascade. Zumiez also gave both of these ladies gift cards, as well as the chance to ride at the Trans-Am finals, if they can make it out there. The top lady of the day however was Shelby Layman. For her fearlessness and amazing facial expressions she was rewarded with a Ride snowboard, a High Cascade backpack with all the goodies mentioned before, and a Zumiez gift card. But oh that's not all; she got much, much more. Shelby also got a flight to Big Bear, California to ride in the finals for the Trans-Am from Zumiez, as well as a giant fake lipstick filled with girly things from High Cascade.
For guys it was Jordan Murse taking third and for his efforts received a goody filled High Cascade backpack. He also received a Zumiez gift card, and a Pirate set featuring an eye patch and a sword from High Cascade. Ozzy Henning took Second place and he received a High Cascade back pack full of goodies from Anon, Coal, and Giro, a Zumiez gift card, and a bow and arrow set from High Cascade. Both second and third place also get entry fee into the Trans-Am finals, if they can make it to Big Bear. But in the end there could only be one winner, and that winner was Christain Hobush. For his crazy maneuvers on all of the features he was rewarded with a Ride snowboard, a High Cascade back pack with Anon goggles, Giro hoodies, and Coal beanies. But that's not all. Courtesy of Zumiez, Christian also received a gift card and a flight to the Trans-Am finals at Big Bear, in California. All of the riders in the final event at Big Bear also have the chance to win an all inclusive trip to the Ride Shakedown, at Summit at Snoqualmie, in Washington.
It truly was a magical event, and it for sure would not have been possible with out Jeremy Cooper and his amazing and dedicated park staff. This was not the first Trans-Am to grace Park City, but it for sure was the best. The next stop on the tour is at Northstar-At-Tahoe. They won the best course competition last year, but after viewing the truly awesome course that Park City made for this event, it is safe to say that they have their work cut out for them. But don't forget about Big Bear, they are always known to be the favorites when it comes to building Trans-Am courses. I know I for one am excited to see what the courses will look like for the next two contests. But can Park City be topped. Only time will tell…
1. Christian Hobush
2. Ozzie Henning
3. Jordan Murse
1. Shelby Layman
2.Tanya Schmid
