Energy Transitions in Germany and the United States
Climate and Energy Director
Senior Fellow
Research Fellow
Electricity markets and policies are evolving rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic. The imperatives of energy security, climate and environmental stability, economic competitiveness, and social justice, together with technological innovation, have led European and U.S. societies to consider new ways of producing and using energy—dubbed "Energiewende" in German, or "Energy Transformation" in English.
|Read the Strategy Paper
|Read the Event Summary
While the broader goals are similar, European and U.S. approaches to electricity markets and policy have diverged, with an accompanying gulf in understanding and communication across the Atlantic. Despite its heterogeneity, the EU has managed to provide guidance for member state actions and has established ambitious, long-term, and mandatory targets for reducing carbon emissions and increasing efficiency and renewable energy. In the United States, various agendas have competed in the different branches of government and on different levels of decision making, and strategies have often changed in response to changing economic trends and political alignments. Yet despite the current boom in natural gas production (primarily unconventional shale gas), deployment of solar and wind energy has picked up momentum.
The goal of the 2013–14 Transatlantic Strategic Dialogue is to close the knowledge and information gap by bringing together experts, advocates, and policymakers from Europe and the United States to discuss recent policy and market trends, as well as likely and desirable future developments. Both sides have important successes and challenges to report, from which each can learn.
This dialogue aims to achieve this goal by:

Tech Participants Do Well in Boston Marathon, April 19, 2000

Small's official Boston Marathon 2000 time of 2:56:53 also netted him 870th among all male competitors and 648th in his age division.
Likewise, Ispolatov's official time of 2:57:55 garnered him the 962nd place among male competitors and 712th in his respective age division.

Therapy does not need to be an intimidating process. It is a relationship between you and your therapist which is devoted to your well-being and growth. Relieving your pain, reducing your symptoms, or changing your behavior or lifestyle may be part of that goal. The chief overall goal of therapy is to help you become better able to meet your needs, satisfy your desires, and live more freely in this world. Happiness, "feeling better", or similar states are not necessarily the goal, although they may be by-products.
Therapy is often hard work. You will learn to pay attention to your thoughts, your feelings, and your relationships; to honestly acknowledge them (including feelings you wish you never had); to work with unwanted aspects of yourself, to learn to feel painful things and to face ugly realities; to talk candidly and respectfully with people you'd rather avoid; to accept impossible but inevitable situations; to change frightening but changeable ones; to face one's inner monsters and to learn the outer ones – or to name and run away from them!
The therapist's job is to listen carefully, to point out strengths that have been unnoticed and weaknesses that have been ignored, to look for hope when you are hopeless and danger when you are naive, to allow you to be dependent when you fear depending and to challenge you to grow up when you would love to stay little. In short, the therapist's job is to assist you to learn to meet your needs, satisfy your desires, and live more freely in this world.

The Emmys air Monday, but no need to check your calendars. It's not September. You can still throw that Labor Day barbecue and gear up for the NFL season kickoff next week. Football, our national religion, is the reason the Emmys come so early this year.

The credit union campaign to win new lawmaker support for savings promotion raffles picked up steam last week with advances in at least three states–Nebraska, North Carolina and Washington–all coming despite a bank-led rebuke in Iowa.
And two of the champions of the raffles, the Michigan Credit Union League with its "Save to Win" prize drawings and a Boston-area nonprofit, the Doorways to Dreams Fund, voiced optimism that the lobbying efforts on the enabling bills in targeted states can succeed during the remainder of 2011.
By week's end, the Nebraska Credit Union League remained hopeful that its raffles bill now on final reading in the unicameral legislature will pass and be signed by Gov. Dave Heineman.
But in Iowa, the Senate defeat of a raffles measure follows a bitter two-month fight marked by an ad blitz and counterattack over the tax exemption and CU "gambling" charges brought by the Iowa Bankers Association.
The banking lobby accused CUs of being reckless with consumer funds and that "offering a $100,000 raffle prize to one lucky winner is not an appropriate use of the credit unions' tax exemption."
Firing back, the Iowa League, in ads appearing in newspapers accused bankers of "greed" by blocking competition and blasted banking's role in the financial crisis.
Despite differing lawmaker attitudes and dynamics between neighboring Iowa and Nebraska, Brandon Luetkenhaus, governmental and public affairs director of the Nebraska League, said he is optimistic that state's bill will have a more favorable result in the final outcome.
"Getting more Nebraskans to save for their financial future is what this bill is all about, and that resonates with Nebraska lawmakers," explained Scott Sullivan, president/CEO of the league.
Meanwhile, in Washington state, Gov. Christine Gregoire appears ready to sign an enabling bill backed by the Northwest Credit Union Association that has now cleared both chambers of the state legislature.
The "Prize-Linked Savings Accounts" bill, as it is known, was due for final House-Senate concurrence last week and will become effective July 24 following the governor's signature. CUs in the state, however, are not expected to launch the savings programs until next January because they need the time to set up account mechanics, said a spokesman for NWCA.
Washington banks have been on the sidelines in the raffles debate as has been the case in North Carolina.
In Michigan, the state league said that "Save to Win," which got fully under way last year, has proved a success for the 40 participating CUs, drawing 56% of new participants who were not regular savers in the past.
"Every credit union member in this program keeps the money they save in a special certificate of deposit, and the only chance involved with this program is the opportunity to win more with monthly prize drawings and the $100,000 grand prize," noted David Adams, president/CEO of the Michigan League, stressing that members' deposits are never at risk.
Adams said he could not speak directly or offer advice to other leagues that might face banker-led objections to empowerment bills, but Doorway to Dreams, the Massachusetts nonprofit that developed the savings raffle idea, maintained the program continues to win legislative support as more see its value as a savings tool.
"From our perspective, there are states, like Iowa, where there are long-standing political forces at work or disputes in play that simply cause the legislation to get defeated," explained Joanna Smith- Ramani, director of strategy for Doorway to Dreams, which was founded in 2000 and funded by some of the nation's largest foundations.
Smith-Ramani noted that in Michigan, low-income consumers are now opening up savings accounts for the first time, and under "Save to Win," savers get one entry in a prize pool for each $25 CD, with a maximum of $250 in prize entries. The CDs APY ranged from 1% to 1.5%.
For the most part, outside of Iowa and Maryland, which also saw initial opposition, bankers, said Smith-Ramani, have remained neutral or stayed on the sidelines.
She noted, however, that the legislative campaign in various states is complicated by federal law that prohibits non-CUs from operating a prize-linked raffle.

Gardner High's Sally Johnson retired as coach after 34 years last week, and her final game was fitting — a 1-0 victory over Lunenburg.
Johnson was happy to go out with a win, but she was equally proud of her athletes, who approached the game with the same mindset as her first team back in 1976, playing with integrity and sportsmanship.
"All my teams have been unique with absolutely fantastic young women," Johnson said. "But I've always told the girls about the importance of sportsmanship and integrity, and to go out there and do the best that you can."
More often than not, Johnson's teams did just that. She leaves with a 314-189-109 record after coaching more than 600 players. This includes daughters who had mothers who played for her. Many have gone on to play college field hockey, including six now.
Johnson's teams qualified for the postseason 15 years in a row (1991-2005) and advanced to the Central Mass. final three times.
The good memories and special players made it hard for Johnson, a retired teacher, to step down.
"It was a difficult decision to make, but I knew it was time," she said.
Johnson leaves with her head held high.
"The last few years we've struggled, but we won that last game and that was fabulous," she said.
St. Peter-Marian High, sparked by its speed, commitment, camaraderie and aggressiveness, has put together another solid season, qualifying for the playoffs for the ninth straight year.
The Guardians are 8-4-4, 3-2-1 in the Central Mass. Conference.
"We are a team that plays with heart, and I always tell my girls not to underestimate themselves or the team," coach Julie Kreuz said. "No matter the opponent, or day, these girls have played aggressively and collaboratively. The captains have led this team to another great season, and we look forward to continuing it into the playoffs."
SPM's captains are seniors Katelyn Moran, Courtney Blair and Karli Kazanovicz. Moran is a center back with great stickwork and an aggressive playmaker.
Blair, who has strong leadership skills, plays center midfield and is a focused, smooth transition player. Center forward Kazanovicz is quick and adept at getting her stick on the ball.
The captains get plenty of help. Junior sweep Emilie Kasper makes great clears and takes the initiative on free hits. Junior Keeley Conners, a left mid, is a solid playmaker with good stickwork.
Junior Karlie Bove is a hard worker in goal. Senior left back Emily Standring makes strong clears and is quick and agile. Brianna Tortora, a sophomore forward, is a quick, efficient playmaker.
Other contributors include Bridget Jenal, Catherine Clark, Alicia Dryden, Laura Feeley, Saoirse Martin, Victoria Mulhern, Melissa Grasso, Brittany Golas, Haley Scola and Courtney Sutherland.
Sporting a good supply of skilled players has enabled Nashoba Regional to win 28 games the past two seasons, including 15 this year. The Chieftains' surge this year has been made more memorable by winning the league (Midland B) championship for the first time in 20 years.
"These girls have a deep passion for winning — they don't want to lose," coach Jaime Mariani said. "They also completely love the game, so much so that they play it all year. Right now, they're all very excited to be at the top."
Senior captain Katie Lombardozzi has been an offensive force, totaling eight goals and 13 assists.
The leadership-minded forward tops the league in points. Lombardozzi is a do-it-all player, versatile and a threat to score or pass for an assist.
Senior captain Tori Danby, a forward, has a strong on-field presence, a fierce drive, and can carry the team.
A positive attitude fuels senior captain Erin O'Donnell, a midfielder who has played through injury and been a solid role model. Senior captain Anna Schab, a defender, keeps foes out of her team's zone and is like a brick wall, according to Mariani.
Other key performers include sophomore midfielders Olivia Hurd and Emma Caviness and junior midfielder Sammy Gjeltema. Caviness leads the team in goals (11) and is effective carrying the ball downfield. She is the team's flier on defensive corners and a disruptive defender. Gjeltema excels in transition and in making space for herself. Hurd distributes the ball well and is solid in all facets of the game.
Other contributors include seniors Meghan Tocci and Allison Koch, juniors Alison Gaffney, Kiran Reed, Abbie McCaffrey, Alexa Giordano, Sage Feltus, Caitlin O'Connor and Bridget Boyle, and sophomores Sarah Gaffney and Meghan Thorogood.

While yoga was introduced to the Western world in the late 19th century, it wasn't until the 1980s that downward dogging towards a fitter, enlightened self really caught on. Since then, it's totally exploded. A far cry from the spirituality it originally boasted, yoga now draws many new people in with its celebrity practitioners, multi-million dollar yoga apparel companies, overpriced "designer classes," and now this.
A lawsuit has been filed against yoga mogul Bikram Choudhury, the founder of Bikram yoga, which differs from the also-popular Vinyasa practice in its rigor, inflexible routine and and room temperature (it's a series of 26 moves, each repeated twice, in a room heated to 100 degrees Farenheit... even the water breaks are scheduled in. Madonna, David Beckham, George Clooney, Jennifer Aniston and Lady Gaga count themselves among Bikram fans.)
Raw Story reports: The suit against 67-year-old Choudhury, who doesn't exactly sound like the stereotypical yogi (he apparently claims to have a fleet of Rolls Royces, compares himself to Jesus and Elvis, and boasts about having the biggest pool in Beverly Hills) was filed by his 29-year-old former protege Sarah Baughn, who he allegedly attempted to force himself on sexually.
Baugn says that she has since been denied a Bikram championship title for her unwillingness to sleep with her mentor, who she noticed early on had a different dynamic with the women in his class than with the men. (They were encouraged to brush his hair and give him massages.)
Between this and the Lululemon pants recall, is fad yoga on its way out? Will the fair-weather yogis take a hike and leave the serious ones who were there all along?

Oracle seeks Java cloud closure help
Work needed on Java EE plan
Oracle has outlined a plan for the next version of Java used in application servers that makes it clear that, for once, the giant needs other peoples' help.
The database giant has published Java Specification Request (JSR) 342, intended to convert Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 7 into a building block of cloud services.
Java EE is used in app servers such as WebSphere, WebLogic, and JBoss - multi-million-dollar businesses owned by IBM, Oracle, and Red Hat.
Details of the published JSR confirm details obtained by The Reg about Java EE 7 and revealed exclusively in our story here last week.
As reported, Java EE 7 will focus on HTML5, web sockets, and REST - Oracle's promised "first-class support" - along with JSON. Contexts and Dependency Injection will be updated and Java caching its getting re-worked with delivery of Java EE 7 due in the third quarter of 2012.
But the JSR reveals that Java EE 7 is not a finished proposal - unlike the earlier Java Standard Edition (Java SE) 7 and Java SE 8 from Oracle. It also shows the giant's dependent on the technical know-how and support from others in Java community to get the plan completed and deliver Java EE 7.
Oracle's said it would "like to solicit community contributions" on Web Sockets and JSON "with an eye on including these technologies in Java EE 7 should their schedule allow it."
The tone is interesting given that Oracle has done plenty to alienate fellow members of the Java community lately, thanks to its handling of the Apache Software Foundation, its U-turn on potential reforms to the Java Community Process (JCP), and its decision to bully its proposed roadmap for Java SE 7 and Java SE 8 through the JCP no matter what people wanted.
While Oracle has the official backing of JCP members the Eclipse Foundation, Ericsson, IBM, Red Hat, and SAP on the two Java SEs, the big names are missing on JSR 342. Instead, Oracle is supported by the Savior Technologies chief technology officer Jeff Genender and Java author and expert Antonio Goncalves.
The JSRs for Java SE 7 and 8 contain no references to soliciting contributions from the community should they have the time. Oracle presented a detailed and comprehensive set of features for the two planned specs and that was it.
The plan for Java EE 7 also leaves a massive door open for Java EE 8 and raises a major question over just how much Oracle can accomplish in Java EE 7.
In an almost throwaway line, Oracle says "this JSR will investigate providing modularity and versioning capabilities". But the company continues: "This work will need to be coordinated with the upcoming modularity JSR for Java SE so as to provide alignment across the SE and EE platforms."
Java SE is the foundation of Java EE, and Java SE 7 is scheduled for completion this coming May. However, it's the follow-on Java SE 8 that is going modular with the inclusion of Project Jigsaw, and that's due for completion in October 2012.
Parsing the JSR, it seems Oracle accepts cloud cannot be delivered in Java EE 7 and the heavy lifting to float Java EE will come in Java EE 8, which we reported is planned for the end of 2013.
Aside from the "investigation" of modularity in Java EE 7, updated Java caching with JSR 107 will be a "candidate for inclusion" in Java EE 7.
Oracle says "several" of the technologies already included in the Java EE platform will be simply updated for latest web standards in Java EE 7.
These will include JAX RS for Restful web services, JMS, and servlets, dependency injection, and common annotations. How far Java EE 7 can or will go in support of Web Sockets and HTML5 is also unclear, as Oracle is far from definitive saying: "it expects" to add first class support.
Oracle will also consider making EJB Entity Beans, JAX-RPC 1.1, JAXR 1.0, and JSR-88 1.2 optional features of Java EE as part of a plan to streamline the spec. ®

Texas Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Lewisville, said Monday that he remains opposed to abortion because fetuses are alive, noting that he has observed 15-week-old male fetuses masturbate in the womb.
"Watch a sonogram of a 15-week baby, and they have movements that are purposeful," Burgess argued. "They stroke their face. If they're a male baby, they may have their hand between their legs. If they feel pleasure, why is it so hard to believe that they could feel pain?"
Burgess told the House Rules Committee that "this is a subject that [he does] know something about." As a former OB/GYN whose Twitter page reads "Micheal Burgess, MD," Burgess said that he has participated in the "delivery of thousands of babies, attending thousands of women during their pregnancy, performance of thousands of sonograms."
The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act outlaws virtually all abortions following the 20 week post-conception mark, a date that Burgess said he felt should be brought up to 15 or 16 weeks, which is less than halfway through a normal pregnancy.
"There is no question in my mind, no question in my mind, that a baby after 20 weeks can feel pain," he said. "The fact of the matter is, I argued with [Chairman Virginia Rep. Robert Goodlatte, R-Roanoke] because I thought the date was far too late."
The bill, originally introduced in April after being drafted by Arizona Rep. Trent Franks, R-Peoria, recently received major criticisms from Democrats, as there were no women on the House Judiciary committee to offer input. This is due to the fact that the GOP has not appointed any women to this committee.
Franks raised controversy himself last week, when he said, "The incidence of rape resulting in pregnancy are very low." Franks later clarified that he was referring to abortions after 20 weeks of a rape incident.
The committee has added in exceptions cases when the mother's life is in danger and for rape and incest cases, in the event that the victim has been reported to the proper authorities.
Many GOP members, including Texas Rep. Kevin Brady, R-The Woodlands, voiced support of the bill, using the hashtag #TheyFeelPain:
64% of public wants to protect pain-capable unborn children. Time to end late abortions #TheyFeelPain http://t.co/qZwCQbVDcM
— RepKevinBrady (@RepKevinBrady) June 18, 2013
"Yeah, sometimes we have to give voice to the voiceless," Burgess told the committee at the close of his statement. "And this is one of those times."
The congressman's office did not immediately return a request for further comment.

In an earlier post we discussed JavaScript performance improvements introduced in IE10. Today we published Bubbles, originally inspired by Alex Gavriolov's simulation BubbleMark, to explore some of these advances. The current version has been greatly expanded to take advantage of the new features of the Web platform and includes characteristics common to HTML5 games. In this post we peek under the hood to see how the demo is constructed and examine the main factors that affect its performance.
Bubbles demo running in Metro style IE10 on the Windows 8 Release Preview
The Structure of the Demo
The demo consists of a number of animated bubbles floating through space. At the core is a relatively simple JavaScript physics engine. On every animation frame, about 60 times per second, the physics engine recalculates the positions of all bubbles, adjusts the speed of each bubble by applying gravity, and computes collisions. All these computations involve intensive floating point math. Each bubble is represented on screen by a DOM image element to which a CSS transform is applied. The image is first translated around its origin, and then scaled dynamically to produce the effect of the bubble inflating. In JavaScript, every bubble is represented as an object with accessor properties, as introduced in ECMAScript 5.
Behind the floating bubbles is a large image, which starts off occluded by a fully opaque mask rendered in a <canvas> element. Whenever two bubbles collide, a portion of the occluding mask is removed by applying a Gaussian filter to the mask's opacity component to produce a diffuse transparency effect. This process also involves many floating point multiplications, which are performed on elements of Typed Arrays, if supported by the browser.
Over the floating bubbles rests a touch surface, which responds to touch input if supported by the running browser or mouse events if not. In response to touch simulated magnetic repulsion is applied to the floating bubbles scattering them around.
Efficient Animation
Demo.prototype.requestAnimationFrame = function () {
var that = this;
if (window.requestAnimationFrame)
this.animationFrameTimer =
window.requestAnimationFrame(function () { that.onAnimationFrame(); });
this.animationFrameTimer =
setTimeout(function () { that.onAnimationFrame(); }, this.animationFrameDuration);
Demo.prototype.cancelAnimationFrame = function () {
if (window.cancelAnimationFrame)
Converting DOM Values from Strings to Numbers
When the Bubbles demo is loaded, the
numberOfBubbles property starts off with a value of 100. On every animation frame, the position of each bubble is adjusted:
function Demo() {
this.numberOfBubbles = 100;
Demo.prototype.moveBubbles = function(elapsedTime) {
for (var i = 0; i < this.numberOfBubbles; i++) {
this.bubbles[i].move(elapsedTime, this.gravity);
When the user selects a different value in the UI, the value of the
numberOfBubbles property must be adjusted accordingly. A straightforward event handler may do it like this:
Demo.prototype.onNumberOfBubblesChange = function () {
this.numberOfBubbles = document.getElementById("numberOfBubblesSelector").value;
This seemingly natural way of reading the user's input results in about 10% overhead in the JavaScript portion of the demo. Because the value obtained from the drop down and assigned to
numberOfBubbles is a string (not a number), it has to be converted to a number on every iteration of the
moveBubbles loop for every frame of the animation.
This demonstrates that it's a good practice to explicitly convert values extracted from the DOM to numbers before using them in arithmetic operations. Values of DOM properties are typically of type string in JavaScript and the automatic string to number conversions can be quite expensive when done repeatedly. A better way to update
numberOfBubbles based on user selection, as found in the demo, is as follows:
Demo.prototype.onNumberOfBubblesChange = function () {
this.numberOfBubbles = parseInt(document.getElementById("numberOfBubblesSelector").value);
Working with ES5 Accessor Properties
ECMAScript 5 accessor properties are a convenient mechanism for data encapsulation, computed properties, data validation, or change notification. In the Bubbles demo, whenever a bubble is inflated the radius is adjusted, which sets the computed
radiusChanged property to indicate that the bubble's image needs to be resized.
Object.defineProperties(Bubble.prototype, {
radius: {
get: function () {
return this.mRadius;
set: function (value) {
if (this.mRadius != value) {
this.mRadius = value;
this.mRadiusChanged = true;
In all browsers, accessor properties add overhead as compared to data properties. The precise amount of overhead varies between browsers.
Minimizing Access of the Canvas ImageData
It's a well-established practice to minimize the number of calls to DOM in loops on the critical performance path. For example, if the Bubbles demo updated the location of every bubble by looking up the corresponding element in the document (as below), performance would be adversely affected.
Bubble.prototype.render = function () {
document.getElementById("bubble" + this.id).style.left = Math.round(this.x) + "px";
document.getElementById("bubble" + this.id).style.top = Math.round(this.y) + "px";
Instead, the element corresponding to each bubble is cached in the bubble object in JavaScript once, and then accessed directly on every animation frame.
Bubble.prototype.render = function () {
this.element.style.left = Math.round(this.x) + "px";
this.element.style.top = Math.round(this.y) + "px";
What may be less clear is that care must be taken to avoid similar overhead when working with <canvas>. The object obtained by calling
canvas.getContext("2D").getImageData() is also a DOM object. The code below could be used in the demo to draw the bubble collision effect to the canvas. In this version
imgData.data is read on every iteration of the loop, which requires a call to the DOM and adds great overhead.
BubbleTank.prototype.renderCollisionEffectToCanvas = function(px, py) {
var imgData = this.canvasContext.getImageData(/*...*/)
for (var my = myMin; my <= myMax; my++) {
for (var mx = mxMin; mx <= mxMax; mx++) {
var i = (mx + gaussianMaskRadius) + (my + gaussianMaskRadius) * gaussianMaskSize;
imgData.data[4 * i + 3] = 255 * occlusionMask[(px + mx) + (py + my) * canvasWidth];
this.canvasContext.putImageData(imgData, px - gaussianMaskRadius, py - gaussianMaskRadius);
A better way to update the <canvas> image data is by caching the
data property as in the following code snippet. The
data property is a typed array (PixelArray) and can be accessed very efficiently from JavaScript.
BubbleTank.prototype.renderCollisionEffectToCanvas = function(px, py) {
var imgData = this.canvasContext.getImageData(/*...*/)
var imgColorComponents = imgData.data;
for (var my = myMin; my <= myMax; my++) {
for (var mx = mxMin; mx <= mxMax; mx++) {
var i = (mx + gaussianMaskRadius) + (my + gaussianMaskRadius) * gaussianMaskSize;
imgColorComponents[4 * i + 3] =
255 * occlusionMask[(px + mx) + (py + my) * canvasWidth];
this.canvasContext.putImageData(imgData, px - gaussianMaskRadius, py - gaussianMaskRadius);
Using Typed Arrays to Store Floating Point Numbers
BubbleTank.prototype.generateOcclusionMask = function() {
if (typeof Float64Array != "undefined") {
this.occlusionMask = new Float64Array(this.canvasWidth * this.canvasHeight);
} else {
this.occlusionMask = new Array(this.canvasWidth * this.canvasHeight);
The example above shows how the Bubbles demo uses Float64Arrays to hold and update the occlusion mask applied to the canvas hiding the background image. If the browser doesn't support Typed Arrays, the code falls back on regular arrays. The gains from using Type Arrays in the Bubbles demo vary with settings. In a medium-sized window in IE10, Typed Arrays improve the overall frame rate by around 10%.
In this blog post we explored the newly published Bubbles demo and examined how it takes advantage of dramatic gains in JavaScript execution the IE10 Release Preview. We shared a few important techniques to achieve good performance in animation-based applications. For more technical details about the changes in the JavaScript runtime (Chakra) in IE10 Release Preview, please, refer to the earlier post. We are excited about the greatly improved performance and new capabilities available in IE10 Release Preview and we hope they will allow for ever more fascinating applications to be build using Web standards and technologies.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Five things to know about what's going on at Daytona International Speedway in advance of the season-opening Daytona 500 on Sunday:
DUEL WINNERS: Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin won the twin qualifying races for the Daytona 500 on Thursday night, the first under the lights at the famed track. Kenseth, a two-time Daytona 500 winner, edged Kevin Harvick and Kasey Kahne in the first 150-mile feature. Hamlin took the checkered flag in a wilder second one. Hamlin's victory was overshadowed by a huge wreck that included Clint Bowyer's car getting airborne and doing a complete flip before landing on its tires. Six-time and defending Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson triggered the melee when he ran out of gas a few hundred feet from the finish line. Jamie McMurray turned Johnson sideways, collecting several others. Carl Edwards, Martin Truex Jr., Michael Waltrip and David Ragan also were involved. The cars of Johnson and Truex were on fire as they came to a stop just past the finish line. No one was injured. Many of the cars were destroyed, though, meaning it's likely all of those teams will be forced to switch to backup cars and start the 500 in the back of the pack.
Austin Dillon and Martin Truex Jr. will lead the field to the green flag on Sunday. Click here for the official Daytona 500 starting lineup.
HARVICK PENALIZED: Kevin Harvick finished second in the first qualifying race, but his No. 4 Chevrolet failed post-race inspection. NASCAR officials said Harvick's car exceeded the maximum allowed differential (3 inches) on the track bar. "For what little it was, it probably didn't amount to anything other than changing the handling characteristics of the car," said Greg Zipadelli, vice president of competition at Stewart-Haas Racing. Harvick's qualifying result was disallowed, but he won't have to join team co-owner Tony Stewart and teammate Danica Patrick at the back of the 43-car field. Stewart and Patrick were forced to the rear after changing engines before the qualifying races.
ROAD RASH: Landon Cassill raced his way into the Daytona 500 just days after getting hit by a car while riding his bike. Cassill had road rash on his chin, arm and both legs, as well as a black eye and some bad bruising. He was hit Saturday — he said he was T-boned by a woman who ran a stop sign — and ended up in the hospital. His bike was destroyed. NASCAR medical cleared Cassill to drive in pole qualifying Sunday and he was back behind the wheel in the second qualifying race Thursday night. He finished ninth. "I was really lucky. My face really took most of the fall," he said, drawing some laughter. "It's really not funny. I could have got really hurt."
BLANEY'S BUST: Dave Blaney became the first driver officially out of the Daytona 500. Blaney withdrew from contention Thursday, one day after he totaled his only car in the first full practice for NASCAR's premier event. Blaney, who posted the slowest pole-qualifying speed Sunday, got caught up in a seven-car accident Wednesday and had no backup for his No. 77 Ford. Blaney had an outside shot at getting a car from fellow Ford teams Penske Racing, Roush Fenway Racing and Front Row Motorsports, but those teams weren't able to help. Randy Humphrey Racing got a late start on 2014 preparations, so the team was unable to get a backup car ready. How significant a setback could it be for Blaney and the one-car team? Well, the last-place finisher received $264,354 in 2013 — a hefty paycheck that goes a long way in helping small-budget teams.
PACE CAR UPDATE: Chevrolet believes a pinched wire caused a trunk fire in the Chevrolet SS pace car during the Sprint Unlimited exhibition race Saturday night. The automaker unveiled three new pace cars to be used this weekend at Daytona: a Silverado 1500 for the Truck Series opener Friday, a Camaro SS for the Nationwide opener Saturday, and a Chevrolet SS for the Daytona 500 on Sunday. All three — fittingly painted fire-engine red — have LED lighting systems, which don't use the same wiring system that seemingly started the fire. The switch was made long before what happened in the Unlimited. Flames could be seen shooting from the rear of the car as it sat on the Daytona apron. A replacement pace car was brought out to finish the race. The burned car was shipped back to Detroit for analysis.

(No difference)
Revision as of 12:22, 17 November 2009
- 1 Introduction
- 2 Test framework changes
- 3 Changes required by test bundles
- 4 Using the test framework with JUnit3 or Junit4
This page describes steps taken to provide support for running JUnit4-style tests within the Eclipse Test Framework (ETF). Included is a brief description of why each of the main changes was made. More information about the development process can be found in the bug report. Some changes are required on the part of the user to run tests which require JUnit 4.x. As for JUnit 3.x tests, the Framework is fully backwards compatible.
For the duration of this page, tests that use any of the new features provided by JUnit 4.x (annotations, static imports, etc.) will be referred to as "JUnit4 tests". Tests that do not use JUnit 4's features will be referred to as "JUnit3 tests".
Test framework changes
JUnit4 Bundle Rename
Because we wanted to retain backwards compatibility of the Framework, having the org.eclipse.test bundle depend on org.junit4 simply wasn't an option. This would mean that users running with a JVM <1.5 would not be able to resolve the org.eclipse.test bundle. So it was decided that by renaming the JUnit4 bundle to "org.junit" (same as the JUnit3 bundle name), the EclipseTestRunner (ETR) could just run with the highest version of org.junit that gets resolved.
org.junit4 is now "empty", and simply re-exports the packages exported by the org.junit version 4.x bundle.
JUnit Bundle Configuration
With the JUnit 3 and 4 bundles both named org.junit, we run into a problem of backwards compatibility. Let's say that our user would like to run his/her tests that depend on org.junit and specify a version less than 4.0.0. This user has also decided to run with a Java 1.5 VM. So now the ETR will attempt to run JUnit 3 tests with the org.junit version 4.x bundle resolved. This shouldn't be a problem as JUnit4 is backwards compatible, except that the user's bundle requires JUnit <4. So we run into an issue of org.junit packages being equal but not identical; ETR is using junit.framework version 4.x but the user's bundle is bound to junit.framework version 3.x. We are still working on a solution to this problem but the result will be that all bundles in the system should resolve against the older version of JUnit... there should be no mixed-version resolution.
Loading Tests
Changes required by test bundles
Some test bundles will run just fine with either Junit3 or Junit4. However in some cases tests have created dependencies on one version of JUnit or another (either deliberately or not). Here are some of the kinds of changes that tests currently running on JUnit3 may have to make in order to run on JUnit4.
Version ranges
Some test bundles express a narrow version range on Junit 3.x, such as "[3.8.0,4.0.0)". Such test bundles won't resolve against JUnit4, and hence require updating the version range. Since JUnit is not an eclipse.org project and doesn't necessarily follow our version evolution semantics, the safest approach is to only specify the lower bound dependency. If you still want to be able to run with JUnit3, use a range of "3.8.0". If you only want to run on JUnit4, you can use a range of "4.0.0".
Dependencies on the shape of the JDT feature
Some tests make assumptions about the contents of the JDT feature - the number of bundles, the version number of the bundle "org.junit", etc. Such tests need to be updated due to the changes in the JDT feature (new bundle "org.junit" with a 4.x version). Typically these tests are in PDE and JDT and are unlikely to be an issue with tests outside the Eclipse SDK.
Custom subclasses of junit.framework.TestSuite
Some of the test runners in JUnit4 no longer call TestSuite.tests() to obtain the list of tests. If you have a subclass of TestSuite that overrides the tests() method, you will likely be broken by the move to JUnit4. The test runner in JUnit4 instead calls TestSuite.run(TestResult). If you were previously overriding TestSuite.tests(), you will now also need to override TestSuite.run(TestResult) to make sure your extra tests are called.
Custom subclasses of junit.framework.TestResult
The JUnit class TestResult changed several of its protected fields from Vector to List. This is a breaking change for any subclass of TestResult that accessed those fields. Such classes will need to update from calling Vector methods to calling List methods. Luckily since Vector implements List, after you make this change you will be able to run on both JUnit3 and JUnit4.
Using the test framework with JUnit3 or Junit4
Steps to run with JUnit4
- Run the Eclipse Test Framework with a Java 1.5+ VM
- Ensure that you specify that your bundle requires org.junit version 4.0.0+, either in the bundle dependencies or package imports.
Steps to run with JUnit 3
- Run the Eclipse Test Framework with JDK 1.4
- Ensure that you specify that your bundle requires org.junit version less than 4.0.0, either in the bundle dependencies or package imports.

What can I say? I was on a roll late on Tuesday night and managed to create our cartoon for today and yesterday. I think that 'Let the Right One in' by John Ajvide Lindqvist inspired me with the character's obsession with his Rubik's Cube.
Well, at least they are nearing the present day!

Support For Suspended Teacher Grows After Video Surfaces of His Fight With A Student Over A Bag of Weed
A teacher in Santa Monica, California was put on leave last week after he got into a physical altercation with a student he suspected of dealing drugs in his classroom.
It's a story that literally could have happened in any state, this one just happens to be in California and just on the surface, you would focus on the words 'physical altercation with a student' and you'd automatically side with the student. After all the teacher is not only older, but is also the high school wrestling coach.
But one of the teacher's other students in the class pulled out his cell phone and shot a video of the fight. And now students and parents alike are siding with the teacher and calling for the resignation of the superintendent who placed him on leave.
Science teacher Mark Black asked the student to hand over his bag of marijuana and when the student refused and the two got into the fight which was captured on the video below.
The entire community is backing Black. They say he did the right thing by trying to confiscate the weed and then acted in self-defense when the student attacked him. The school says it will conduct an investigation into what happened.
Have the laws and school bylaws become so restrictive that teachers feel they are unable to do their jobs for fear of repercussions like this? Have students become so emboldened that they know the laws as well and feel they can push the limits without fear of penalties?
I grew up in a very different time (as did many of you reading this). I remember my 6th grade teacher pinning a student against a chalk board who had threatened him and thrown a pair of scissors at him. I remember an 8th grade shop teacher kicking a metal trash can across the shop before boring through all the desks to reach a student and haul him out of class physically after the student threatened him. Needless to say I never saw either student in school again after those incidents. Our high school principal was a former defensive lineman for the Los Angeles Rams in the 1950s. His knees were pretty shot by the time we knew him, but we also knew that if you crossed a 'line', Gene Cady was just as apt to chase you down like he did quarterbacks back in the day.
These days the page is flipped in a lawsuit happy society, where school boards are afraid of parents and their lawyers, while students are allowed to get away with a LOT more than we ever dreamed of.
Is it the cranky old man in me coming out again? With all the cases of bullying in the schools that we see now (including two of my granddaughters) to school shootings and more, I back this California science teacher 100% for taking back his classroom and doing the job that he is obviously passionate about and shaping young minds.
What's your take?

After a week on the sideline, Terrell Suggs is back on the field for the Ravens.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Suggs will play today, two weeks after suffering a torn biceps against the Steelers. Suggs missed last week's game against the Redskins.
The torn biceps is the second injury this year from which Suggs has recovered very quickly. He also suffered a torn Achilles tendon during the offseason, an injury that for many players requires a recovery time of a full year, but he missed only the first six regular season games.
While it's impressive that Suggs is playing at all, he hasn't been quite the same player this year: After recording 14 sacks in 16 games last year, he has just two sacks in six games this year.

Gluten-free Vegetarian +Vegan Option Quinoa Black Bean Burger
The DH has been traveling a lot for his job lately, and been gone from home and missing out on good home cooked meals. So when he got home relatively early the other night, I wanted to make him something tasty and healthy to make up for all the meals he'd been skipping or having at restaurants. We had a pot of quinoa I had cooked for lunch, so I thought I'd do something simple involving pasta sauce, beans, cheese and a microwave. What can I say, I wanted to spend time with the guy and not just spend all night in the kitchen. As I started adding ingredients to my quinoa, I got inspired. What If I put in the basic ingredients I'd had in mind, but instead of microwaving them, I made quinoa burgers on the stove? It wouldn't take much extra time and would taste so much better. Of course, being me, I couldn't just stop there, and I ended up making the vegetarian burgers, two sauces, and serving them on La Tortilla Factory Sonoma Corn Tortillas with some organic lettuce. Homemade tortillas would have been better, but if you can't make them, those are the best pre-made tortillas I've found. They are even a little larger than normal ol' Mission corn tortillas. Anyway, I digress. So I dragged the DH to the table and made him have a real, home cooked meal for the first time in far too long. And guess what? He loved it! I could tell by the way he kept going back for seconds, and how he said, "Hey! I would order this at a restaurant, on purpose!" And he told me to make it again, anytime, as he was spooning his third serving of avocado dressing on his burger. Funny, I thinned out the avocado with mayonnaise simply because I didn't have enough avocado to make a full recipe without it, and the DH raved and raved about it. Boys.
The burgers are delicate when they are hot, so make sure they have a nice golden crust before turning them. They solidify and get very sturdy once they are cooled in the refrigerator, and become softer again once they get very hot again. Basically, I think it is due to the cheese (or un-cheese) which helps bind them together melting and then solidifying.
They are great on corn tortillas, would be delicious in a gluten-free hamburger bun, and were completely lovely as a breakfast "burger" served with a side of hash browns. This recipe was just something I threw together on a whim, but it was such a success that I can see it going on our regular menu rotation. A great way to use leftover quinoa!
After this recipe was such a hit in our household, I did a search for other gluten-free quinoa burger recipes:

Why is it that Baby Yum always steals my food in the middle of a photo session? I had to chase her around the kitchen in circles to get this quinoa burger back. Silly Baby, all she has to do is ask and I'll give her some!
Breaking Gluten-free News: Speaking of burgers and sandwiches, did you hear that Subway is testing a gluten-free bun option in their Texas stores? Reportedly the bun is manufactured off-site in a gluten-free facility, comes in a sealed plastic bag and they use a single-use knife to cut the bun. Despite efforts to train staff in cross-contamination issues, I'm skeptical that they will be able to provide a truly gluten-free product. The condiments and any sandwich fillings will surely be contaminated, don't you think? Besides, the bread smell alone in that place makes me feel queasy, personally. Nevertheless, at least another mainstream corporation is thinking about catering to gluten-free customers, which can only be a good thing. I just hope they don't end up causing more harm than good by doing it improperly.
Gluten-free Vegetarian Quinoa Bean Burgers with Vegan Option
4 cups cooked quinoa (about 1 cup uncooked, simmered with 2 cups water)
1 can drained, rinsed black beans
1/2 can organic stewed tomatoes, drained (I used muir glen with green chilies)
1 egg OR for vegan, 1 flax seed "egg"* blended or food processed
1/2 cup roasted frozen corn (Trader Joe's, or regular un-roasted)
4 scallions or green onion, minced
1/4 cup sorghum flour (or your favorite gluten-free whole grain flour)
2 cups monterey jack cheese OR for vegan, daiya mozzarella
small handful fresh cilantro, diced
olive oil or your favorite oil
Prepare a large baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper, if you have the latter. The paper is optional but makes life easier. Preheat oven to 350F.
Combine quinoa, beans, and tomato in a medium-large bowl. Stir with your hands or a large spoon, mashing the beans a little if possible. Create a well in the mixture for the egg or flax "egg" and use a fork to whisk whites into the yolk. Fold the egg or flax "egg" into the mixture and combine thoroughly. Microwave briefly or cook your corn so it is no longer frozen and stir into your mixture along with the minced green onion. Sprinkle with half of your flour and fold in. Add your second half of the flour and combine. Sprinkle with cheese or un-cheese and mix it so it is evenly distributed throughout. Add cilantro, fold together one final time. See if you can create a patty with the mixture. If it is too wet, add a little more flour.
On medium-high, heat enough oil in a nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron pan to cover the bottom of the pan. Carefully add enough medium-size patties, one at a time, to cover the bottom of the pan and not have them touching each other. I had two full batches. Fry until each patty has a golden-brown crust on the bottom and then carefully turn over. Cook second side until golden brown.
Carefully remove first batch to your baking sheet and put in oven. Let bake while you make the second batch in your skillet, about 15 to 20 minutes. Serve while the second batch is in the oven, if you like.
We served these on tortillas with lettuce, red pepper pico de gallo, and avocado dressing. DH LOVED them, and I did too. Yum!
*Flax egg= 1 tbsp ground flax seed + 3 tbsp water, blended or food processed
Pepper Pico De Gallo
1 roma tomato (organic preferred)
1/4 of a red or yellow pepper OR handful of mini peppers
1 or 2 green onions
dash of fresh lime or lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (or less, to taste)
salt to taste
dash of pepper or California pepper
Mince your roma tomato and discard the watery pulp. Put the nice minced pieces in a small bowl. Mince your red or yellow pepper OR your mini peppers- I got a big bag of adorable mini yellow and red peppers from Costco in a bid to get Baby Yum eating more veggies and have been putting them in everything. Mix peppers into the bowl with tomato and sprinkle with salt. Mince your green onions and add them to the party. You can use less or more, to taste. Use more if you will be eating the pico de gallo soon, and use less if you are going to let it sit overnight or for at least a half hour. It becomes even more delicious the next day, and flavors of raw ingredients mellow. Squeeze a bit of juice from a fresh lime or lemon on top of the mixture and mix together. Finely mince your cilantro and add to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper and fold ingredients together. Let it sit. Refrigerate in a sealed container if you are going to leave it longer than half an hour or overnight. Use on something delicious.
Avocado Dressing Recipe
1/4 avocado, mashed
Equal amounts of mayonnaise (Vegan mayonnaise would make recipe vegan!)
1 small amount of scallion, minced into tiny tiny pieces
Pinch of lemon or lime juice
white pepper if desired (I didn't
Combine ingredients and mix thoroughly. Serve on something tasty, preferably with my pepper pico de gallo.
The DH LOVED this. You can double or triple the recipe. I didn't have very much avocado, so I made a small batch.

BRISTOL — The Mount Abraham Union High School girls' basketball team made the most of a rare home game on Friday, dispatching Colchester, 51-30, to improve to 5-3.
In what was just their second appearance in Bristol this season, the Eagles held the 2-6 Lakers without a basket for the first 10:07.
After the Lakers cut a 16-1 Mount Abe lead to 16-10, the Eagles responded with a 10-0 run to make the lead an insurmountable 26-10 at the break.

March 2, 2006
AUSTIN, Texas - UCSB took an elite group of swimmers to represent them at the 2006 American Short Course Championship hosted by Longhorn Aquatics at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center March 2-4, 2006.
Competing against names like Michael Phelps and Ian Crocker this meet is fast to say the least. It is a great opportunity for UCSB to compete against the best in the nation and to put up NCAA qualifying times, as well as gain strategic race experience.
After the first day of competition UCSB is competing well. Jen Schwalb took fifth in the 100 butterfly with a time of 55.19. Freshman Katlin Freeman also had a good showing taking sixth in the 100 breaststroke, 1:04.19. The 400 free relay was the best event for UCSB on both the men's and women's side, each team taking third in that event. Bradley Matsumoto, Curtis Bauer, Robert Hansen and Mason Edwards earning the time of 3:05.26 for the men, and Jenisse Demeulenaere, Erin Yamamoto, Jamie Lathers and Nadia Dwidar swimming a 3:29.25 for third as well.
The UCSB women took ninth in the 200 Medley relay: Lathers, DeMeulenaere, Freeman and Dwidar with a time of 1:47.33. Erin Yamamoto took 34th in the 200 free with a time of 1:52.27 and teammate Jessica Cruzat coming in just behind her for 36th place with a time of 1:52.38. DeMeulenaere took 48th in the 100 fly with a time of 59.76.
On the men's side they took tenth in the 200 Medley (Matsumoto, Ramsey, Bauer and Edwards) 1:36.20. In the 100 fly Curtis Bauer took 30th, 51.80, and in the 200 free Brock Roverud took 43rd with a time of 1:43.73.
The meet continues Friday March 3, 2006 with prelims in the day and finals starting at 6pm at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center.
