The Six Stages Of Colombia
On August 4, 2011, I'd never thought of visiting Colombia. I didn't even have a precise idea where it was in South America.
However, I'd joined Google+ the month before, had been using the service, and at that time I think about 10,000 people had me in circles. (The growth on Google+ has been remarkable. On Twitter, some 8,000 people follow me and that's been constant for awhile. On Google+ at the moment, 245,590 people have me in circles, up from 10K in early August and 0 in early July. I have no idea why there's such rapid uptake on Google+ or why the huge disparity with Twitter, which I've used for five years.) For this reason, 26-year old Matt Dickhaus, head of U.S. marketing for Viventura, emailed and asked if I wanted to "participate in a South American tour," possibly for free.
With apologies to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, thus began my Six Stages of Colombia.
Stage 1 - Incredulity. People don't offer me trips to South America every day. I was intrigued but skeptical. I don't stay at "free" hotels that require a time-share pitch, and this seemed like a possible branch of that tree. Also, I have an 8-year-old, Tyler, who, when you pick him up and shake him, feels only somewhat ready for international travel - not quite ripe, in other words. Leaving him home wasn't an option, nor did I want to.
Stage 2 - Excitement. Matt and I started emailing and speaking by phone. Tyler adores animals, and has been obsessed with the rainforest since age 3. We honed in on Colombia. Viventura had never had young children join a tour (they generally recommend travelers be at least 14), but Matt and his team began putting together a new itinerary: "a kid friendly journey with a focus on the beautiful beaches and extraordinary wildlife Colombia has to offer." Plus, what Viventura wanted from me was something I'd want to do anyway: post pictures, share the experience online. Viventura could accommodate up to 9 people on a tour, so I started asking friends with kids if this was something they could see themselves doing. I offered to spread my "free" trip across all the travelers so what it would amount to was a slightly deeper discount than the 10% off they would already receive. I asked local friends. I asked relatives. I asked Evan Brown. I asked Rick Klau. Many were interested but it's a lot for people to drop everything and haul their kids to South America, and our travel dates were right up against the holidays.
Stage 3 - Panic. By October 3, I was serious enough about the trip to be looking into nitty-gritty details, like air fare (expensive and indirect, from Los Angeles), and safety. Our anchor city for much of the trip was Medellín, which no North American adult can hear without also immediately inserting the words "Drug Cartel." U.S. State Department advisories about Colombia are somewhat encouraging ("Security in Colombia has improved significantly in recent years" and "The incidence of kidnapping in Colombia has diminished significantly from its peak at the beginning of this decade"), but also chilling:
[T]errorist groups such as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the National Liberation Army (ELN), and other criminal organizations continue to kidnap and hold civilians for ransom or as political bargaining chips. No one is immune from kidnapping on the basis of occupation, nationality, or other factors. Kidnapping remains a serious threat, with two kidnapping cases of U.S. citizens reported since August 2010. One kidnapped citizen was rescued within 4 days and the other case resulted in the murder of the victim. Kidnapping in rural areas is of particular concern. On July 2, 2008, the Government of Colombia rescued 15 hostages, including three U.S. citizens, who had been held for more than five years. Although the U.S. government places the highest priority on the safe recovery of kidnapped U.S. citizens, it is U.S. policy not to make concessions to or strike deals with kidnappers. Consequently, the U.S. government's ability to assist kidnapping victims is limited.
[Link mine.] Matt and I emailed. He's originally from Florida. He has lived and traveled in Colombia without incident for two years. They've been running tours for 5 years with non-U.S. customers (primarily Germans) without a single issue: no thefts, let alone a kidnapping. Matt's the poster child for the country's official tourism campaign, The Only Risk Is Wanting To Stay: he went there on vacation and decided to stay on.
At this point, the exponential growth of Google+ was starting to creep me out. I was now in over 50,000 people's circles. I told Matt that if we did this, I didn't want to post during the trip. Someone could readily follow along with our online itinerary and have an unpleasant surprise waiting at our next destination. No problem, Matt completely understood, and sent me more information about Colombia, crime, drugs, and kidnapping. Bottom line: I was reassured.
Stage 4 - Excitement. This trip was sounding amazing. Pacific beaches, Caribbean beaches, the historic city of Cartagena, a mud volcano, probably more animal and plant species than in any other country on the planet regardless of size? Tyler and I were so in. And, it turned out, so were were my great friend and neighbor Lorri Megonigal, and Tyler's best pal on earth, her son Ryan. We started organizing. Rick Steves travel satchel? Check. Packable beach toys? Check. Shots and pills...?
Stage 5 - Dread. The next U.S. government Web site to throw cold water on the proceedings was the CDC. You don't go to the beach and jungle regions of Colombia without innoculations for yellow fever, typhoid, and Hepatitis A and B. And with malaria, of course, there's no vaccine (have you read State of Wonder?), you have to take preventative pills.
Ugh, two 8-year-olds and a battery of shots and pills. It was a testament to how much the kids wanted to go that they sucked it up and did it. Not without tears and trauma, but they did it. My son had never swallowed pills before, and we learned that capsules (assisted by water through a straw) are easier than tablets, and tablets (even foul tasting ones) are easiest with peanut M&Ms. Yellow fever shots make your arm sore. They make a little kid's arm considerably more so.
The sales clerk at my local Ace Hardware is a dead ringer for Sofia Vergara, a decade or so from now. I asked her where was she from.
"South America."
"What country?"
"I don't talk about that."
"Is it Colombia? Because we might go to Colombia."
End of discussion.
We spent Thanksgiving with good friends, one of whom travels often to Medellín and Bogotá for business. While there, he is constantly accompanied by armed private security and uses armored ground transport.
There are land mines in various parts of the country, we learned. Not on our itinerary. But still.
Stage 6 - Excitement. We paid our initial deposit, bought travel insurance, checked our existing insurance for what it covered, bought international phone and data plans.
I started cruising Clicker.com for Colombia videos. Anthony Bourdain did a great one on Medellín and Cartagena. Music Voyager made me want to salsa, and further assured me visits could be fun and safe. Globe Trekker showed gorgeous Cartagena and described its pirate past. I shared these with friends (including my travel companion) and family to help them feel better about our decision; nearly everyone I told about the trip expressed something between surprise and alarm. I read about smuggling subs in Wired, saw that the FARC leader had been taken out, and noted the myriad videos about drug and FARC violence were mostly out of date.
I met a sweet woman with no English, and her daughter, my son's age, with some, at a fall craft fair. She was a talented artisan and made beautiful leather goods. They were from Colombia.
Another friend is from Colombia, Barranquilla. At their holiday party, her sweetheart of a mother gushed about the country and offered to teach me some salsa.
Someone reminded me to dig up Romancing The Stone. (I've yet to see Colombiana.)
By November 12, we'd booked air fare, paid deposits, and were definitely going. If we didn't know anything else, we knew it would be an adventure.
Disclosures. I've been following the discussions begun several years ago by Jeff Jarvis and renewed this month by Rafat Ali and Jeremy Head, about bloggers, travel, exposure, and junkets. I'm also well aware of my obligations under the FTC Endorsement Guides and regulations. As I think you'll see in coming posts, the arrangement between me and Viventura wound up being more of a beta test than a junket. I traveled, I gave feedback, and now I'm writing. In order for you to assess my objectivity, or lack thereof, for yourself, here are all the benefits and incentives Viventura provided.
- 1 tour package, ordinarily priced at $1,745.00 U.S.,
- 10% discount for those traveling with me (children priced same as adults),
- 2 surprise Salsa lessons in Cartagena,
- 1 surprise 1-night hotel upgrade, following some flight arrangements gone awry,
- 2 small wooden boxes of coffee candy as farewell gifts, and
- 4 days traveling with Matt Dickhaus as interpreter, guide, all-around good guy, and child-whisperer.
Other than the meals included in my complimentary tour (4 dinners and what wound up being 7 breakfasts, for 1 person), we paid for all our own food and drink, our air fare to Colombia, hotel incidentals, some taxis, entrance fees for Tayrona and El Piedra del Peñol, and horse rental fees in Tayrona. For more on what is and is not included in the tour, go here.
Next up, our first day in Colombia: staying in Medellín, and traveling to La Piedra del Peñol y La Reserva de Guatapé (The Peñol Rock and The Guatapé Reservoir).

- All available sessions from 1984 until the present are used, and the solution is updated every three months.
- The combination is based on addition of normal equation matrices, and makes use of datum-free normal equation matrices of VLBI sessions, which are provided as SINEX files.
- The combined earth orientation parameter series will be updated every three months.
- Two combined series are available:
Combined series (dX, dY):
The nutation offsets are dX and dY, referring to the IAU2006 precession-nutation model, excluding free core nutation
- Combined series (dPsi, dEps):
The nutation offsets are dPsi and dEps, referring to the IAU2000A precession-nutation model, excluding free core nutation
Combination Procedure
- Matrices are transformed to the mean epoch of all contributions by using the respective earth orientation parameter rates, before accumulating the individual normal equation matrices.
- The individual normal equation matrices are then transformed into a common set of apriori values for station coordinates and earth orientation parameters.
- Weighting factors determined by variance component estimation are applied to the normal equation systems.
- The datum-free normal equation matrices are then accumulated.
- Earth orientation parameters are estimated by fixing all station components to their ITRF2008 values.
Finally, two types of comparisons are carried out for the purpose of quality control:
- internal comparisons of the individual solutions with respect to the combined solution,
- external comparisons with the earth orientation parameters of the IGS Final Combined Solution (igs00p03.erp), as well as with the IERS C04 (eopc04.62-now) earth orientation parameter series.
Notice: To ensure comparable results, the calculations of bias, WRMS, and RMS were carried out only for those sessions that were analyzed by every Analysis Center.

Regents Report: President Bracing For State Budget Cuts
SOCORRO, N.M. October 21, 2009 – The New Mexico Tech Board of Regents learned that enrollment of new students for fall 2009 is looking rosy, state finances are not looking rosy and employee health insurance premiums will likely increase in 2010.
Total applicants for fall 2010 are already at 495, well ahead of the 350 applicants in October 2008. Tech has already received 28 paid applications for fall 2010, in comparison to only nine in October 2008.
Admission Office director Mike Kloeppel said that the increased numbers are largely due to the recruiting efforts in the spring of 2009. Admission counselors and recruiters are working diligently this fall at college fairs and with high school counselors to bolster enrollment for 2010.
University President Dr. Daniel H. Lopez reported that he expects the legislature to mandate 3.5 percent cuts in higher education for the 2009-2010 fiscal year. The legislature met in special session starting Oct. 17 and another round of budget cuts is imminent.
"The Governor has been adamant about not hurting public schools," Lopez said. "And the public school system represents about 46 percent of the state's budget. Given that, it'll be hard to address a shortfall of approximately $650 million in the state's revenues."
Lopez said that Rep. Lucky Barela's proposal calls for a 2.8 percent in Instruction and General budget cut and a 6.5 percent cut in public service projects.
"The problem is that a lot of our public service projects are also teaching and research projects," he said. "The Bureau of Geology and the PRRC hire many students to do research. If you cut their budget, you cut their ability to deliver educational services. It's difficult to convince the legislature that these ancillary services are crucial to instruction."
Lopez said he's lobbying to change language in funding bills to allow universities to move money between categories, which is currently not allowed. Allowing for transfers between categories would make it easier to manage Tech's budget in these difficult economic times, he said. However, the research divisions that do not contribute to teaching or public service projects will probably have to absorb 6.5 percent cuts in state funding, he said.
Lopez said the faculty has been extremely cooperative and collaborated with the Office of Academic Affairs in identifying areas where budgets can be trimmed.
Dr. Peter Gerity, vice president of academic affairs, said he regularly meets with academic department chairs to discuss budgets.
Faculty Senate Chair Dr. Bill Stone said the faculty appreciates the efforts of the administration and the Regents to minimize the effect of budget cuts.
"We don't like having faculty positions frozen, but it's better than layoffs," he said.
The university currently has 11 faculty positions that are open and 40 staff positions that have not been filled.
In other financial news, human resources director Joann Salome presented the Regents with a proposal to increase employee health insurance contributions.
The Indemnity Plan payroll deductions would increase 10 percent; the PPO deduction would increase by 2 percent; and the high deductible plan would remain the same.
For an employee making more than $25,000 who has insurance for his or her family, the payroll deduction for the Indemnity Plan would increase from $268 per pay period to $294.79. The same employee with the PPO would see the deduction increase from $199.33 to $203.32.
Tech has 775 employees enrolled in the health insurance plan; 452 in Indemnity and 323 in PPO. The Indemnity Plan is no longer offered to new employees and the university is encouraging people to switch to the PPO plan. Last fall, about 80 employees switched.
The Indemnity Plan saw claims of $3.4 million last year, while the PPO had about $1.3 million in claims. Salome said her staff is working to improve the PPO and make it more attractive to employees to switch.
Complete details about the proposed changes will be made available later this week.
In other news:
- The Regents learned that Dr. Warren Ostergren has begun a three-year term as chairman of the mechanical engineering department, replacing Dr. Sayavur Bakhtiyarov.
- Assistant vice president of finance Leyla Sedillo presented the monthly financial analysis. She said the university is staying within its budget, which includes a 3.5 percent budget cut for 2009-2010 in anticipation of state-mandated cuts.
- The Regents also approved budget adjustment requests, as presented by Sedillo, which reflected year-end balances from fiscal year 2008-09.
- The Regents approved the budget for the Marion and Irving Langmuir Quasi Endowment for 2009-10.
- Lopez presented an update on capital projects. He said the Jones Hall renovation is completed – much to the satisfaction of the chemistry faculty. The addition to the Petroleum Recovery Research Center has been completed. The Regents and Lopez participated in an official ribbon-cutting ceremony prior to the meeting. Also, the new laboratory building west of Workman is progressing, but has been slowed by lack of construction funds. The construction of the new geothermal hot water loop has been stalled by a dispute between two contractors. Once that dispute is resolved, construction will begin, Lopez said.
- Dennis Morrison, the director of Tech's research division Institute for Engineering Research and Applications, informed the Regents of an upcoming trip to Saudi Arabia. Morrison has three ongoing projects in the Middle East, all sanctioned by the U.S. State Department. He is organizing a class on safely and securely handling sealed-source radioactive materials "from cradle to grave," presenting a keynote talk on commercializing intellectual property from the university level and continued consultation work with the King Saud University in Riyadh.
- Gerity reported that 13 students have fallen ill with what is likely the swine flu, or the H1/N1 virus, which, fortunately, have not been too severe. Most of the ill students have already recovered and those who are still sick are recovering normally. The Residential Life Office has provided isolated rooms for some students, while Chartwell's has provided meals for the confined students.
- The Regents approved a resolution to remove Dr. Ricardo Maestas from the bank signatory list. Maestas, recently left Tech to take the president's position at Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas. He will be replaced as a signor by assistant vice president of research Richard Cervantes.
- The Regents approved a list of excess property for disposal: an X-ray spectrometer and chiller, a correlation spectrometer, and germanium detectors with an electronics rack.
- The Regents learned of a $441,570 contract between the university and Kinder Morgan Production Company, which conducts carbon sequestration work with the Petroleum Recovery Research Center.

Component/s: None
The original description when this ticket was vetted is below, starting with "Reported by cemer...@snowtide.com, June 01, 2009". This prefix attempts to summarize the issue and discussion.
Several Clojure functions involving agents and futures, such as future, pmap, clojure.java.shell/sh, and a few others, create non-daemon threads in the JVM in an ExecutorService called soloExecutor created via Executors#newCachedThreadPool. The javadocs for this method here http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/Executors.html#newCachedThreadPool%28%29 say "Threads that have not been used for sixty seconds are terminated and removed from the cache." This causes a 60-second wait after a Clojure program is done before the JVM process exits. Questions about this confusing behavior come up a couple of times per year on the Clojure Google group. Search for "shutdown-agents" to find most of these occurrences, since calling (shutdown-agents) at the end of one's program typically eliminates this 60-second wait.
% java -cp clojure.jar clojure.main -e "(println 1)" 1 [ this case exits quickly ] % java -cp clojure.jar clojure.main -e "(println @(future 1))" 1 [ 60-second pause before process exits, at least on many platforms and JVMs ]
Summary of comments before July 2014:
Most of the comments on this ticket on or before August 23, 2010 were likely spread out in time before being imported from the older ticket tracking system into JIRA. Most of them refer to an older suggested patch that is not in JIRA, and compilation problems it had with JDK 1.5, which is no longer supported by Clojure 1.6.0. I think these comments can be safely ignored now.
Alex Miller blogged about this and related issues here: http://tech.puredanger.com/2010/06/08/clojure-agent-thread-pools/
Since then, two of the suggestions Alex raised have been addressed. One by
CLJ-378 and one by the addition of set-agent-send-executor! and similar functions to Clojure 1.5.0: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/changes.md#23-clojurecoreset-agent-send-executor-set-agent-send-off-executor-and-send-via
One remaining issue is the topic of this ticket, which is how best to avoid this 60-second pause.
Approach #1: automatically shut down agents
One method is mentioned in Chas Emerick's original description below, suggested by Rich Hickey, but perhaps long enough ago he may no longer endorse it: Create a Var *auto-shutdown-agents* that when true (the default value), clojure.lang.Agent shutdown() is called after the clojure.main entry point. This removes the surprising wait for common methods of starting Clojure, while allowing expert users to change that value to false if desired.
Approach #2: create daemon threads by default
Another method mentioned by several people in the comments is to change the threads created in agent thread pools to daemon threads by default, and perhaps to deprecate shutdown-agents or modify it to be less dangerous. That approach is discussed a bit more in Alex's blog post linked above, and in a comment from Alexander Taggart on July 11, 2011 below.
Approach #3:
The only other comment before 2014 that is not elaborated in this summary is shoover's suggestion: There are already well-defined and intuitive ways to block on agents and futures. Why not deprecate shutdown-agents and force users to call await and deref if they really want to block? In the pmap situation one would have to evaluate the pmap form.
Approach #4: Create a cached thread pool with a timeout much lower than 60 seconds
This could be done by using one of the ThreadPoolExecutor constructors with a keepAliveTime parameter of the desired time.
Patch: clj-124-v1.patch clj-124-daemonthreads-v1.patch
At most one of these patches should be considered, depending upon the desired approach to take.
Patch clj-124-v1.patch implements appproach #1 using *auto-shutdown-agents*. See the Jul 31 2014 comment when this patch was added for some additional details.
Patch clj-124-daemonthreads-v1.patch implements approach #2 and is straightforward.
Reported by cemer...@snowtide.com, Jun 01, 2009 There has been intermittent chatter over the past months from a couple of people on the group (e.g. http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/409054e3542adc1f) and in #clojure about some clojure scripts hanging, either for a constant time (usually reported as a minute or so with no CPU util) or seemingly forever (or until someone kills the process). I just hit a similar situation in our compilation process, which invokes clojure.lang.Compile from ant. The build process for this particular project had taken 15 second or so, but after adding a couple of pmap calls, that build time jumped to ~1:15, with roughly zero CPU utilization over the course of that last minute. Adding a call to Agent.shutdown() in the finally block in clojure.lang.Compile/main resolved the problem; a patch including this change is attached. I wouldn't suspect anyone would have any issues with such a change. ----- In general, it doesn't seem like everyone should keep tripping over this problem in different directions. It's a very difficult thing to debug if you're not attuned to how clojure's concurrency primitives work under the hood, and I would bet that newer users would be particularly affected. After discussion in #clojure, rhickey suggested adding a *auto-shutdown-agents* var, which: - if true when exiting one of the main entry points (clojure.main, or the legacy script/repl entry points), Agent.shutdown() would be called, allowing for the clean exit of the application - would be bound by default to true - could be easily set to false for anyone with an advanced use-case that requires agents to remain active after the main thread of the application exits. This would obviously not help anyone initializing clojure from a different entry point, but this may represent the best compromise between least-surprise and maximal functionality for advanced users. ------ In addition to the above, it perhaps might be worthwhile to change the keepalive values used to create the Threadpools used by c.l.Actor's Executors. Currently, Actor uses a default thread pool executor, which results in a 60s keepalive. Lowering this to something much smaller (1s? 5s?) would additionally minimize the impact of Agent's threadpools on Java applications that embed clojure directly (and would therefore not benefit from *auto-shutdown-agents* as currently conceived, leading to puzzling 'hanging' behaviour). I'm not in a position to determine what impact this would have on performance due to thread churn, but it would at least minimize what would be perceived as undesirable behaviour by users that are less familiar with the implementation details of Agent and code that depends on it. Comment 1 by cemer...@snowtide.com, Jun 01, 2009 Just FYI, I'd be happy to provide patches for either of the suggestions mentioned above...

firstname.lastname@example.com said: I'm closing this ticket to because the attached patch solves a specific problem. I agree that the idea of an auto-shutdown-agents var sounds like a positive compromise. If Rich wants a ticket to track that issue, I think it'd be best to open a new ticket (and perhaps mention this one there) rather than use this ticket to track further changes.
scgilardi said: With both Java 5 and Java 6 on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard I'm getting an error when compiling with this change present.
Java 1.5.0_19

For example, when building clojure using "ant" from within my clone of the clojure repo:

I reproduced this on two Mac OS X 10.5 machines. I'm not aware of having any enhanced security policies along these lines on my machines. The compile goes fine for me with Java 1.6.0_0 on an Ubuntu box.

Branch: master
mikehinchey said: I got the same compile error on both 1.5.0_11 and 1.6.0_14 on Windows. Achim's patch fixes both.
See the note for "permissions" on http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/java.html . I assume ThreadPoolExecutor.shutdown is the problem, it would shutdown the main Ant thread, so Ant disallows that. Forking avoids the permissions limitation.
In addition, since the build error still resulted in "BUILD SUCCESSFUL", I think failonerror="true" should also be added to the java call so the build would totally fail for such an error.
firstname.lastname@example.com said: I don't know if the <java fork=true> patch is a good idea or not, or if there's a better way to solve the original problem.
Chas, I'm kicking back to you, but I guess if you don't want it you can reassign to "nobody".

shoover said: I'd like to suggest an alternate approach. There are already well-defined and intuitive ways to block on agents and futures. Why not deprecate shutdown-agents and force users to call await and deref if they really want to block? In the pmap situation one would have to evaluate the pmap form.
The System.exit problem goes away if you configure the threadpools to use daemon threads (call new ThreadPoolExecutor and pass a thread factory that creates threads and sets daemon to true). That way the user has an explicit means of blocking and System.exit won't hang.
alexdmiller said: I blogged about these issues at:
I think that:
- agent thread pool threads should be named (see ticket #378)
- agent thread pools must be daemon threads by default
- having ways to specify an customized executor pool for an agent send/send-off is essential to customize threading behavior
- (shutdown-agents) should be either deprecated or made less dangerous
- agent thread pool threads should be named (see ticket #378)
- agent thread pools must be daemon threads by default
- having ways to specify an customized executor pool for an agent send/send-off is essential to customize threading behavior
- (shutdown-agents) should be either deprecated or made less dangerous
Rich, what is the intention behind using non-daemon threads in the agent pools?
If it is because daemon threads could terminate before their work is complete, would it be acceptable to add a shutdown hook to ensure against such premature termination? Such a shutdown hook could call Agent.shutdown(), then awaitTermination() on the pools.
Moving this ticket out of approval "OK" status, and dropping the priority. These were Assembla import defaults.
Also, Chas gets to be the Reporter now.
Heh, blast from the past.
The comment import appears to have set their timestamps to the date of the import, so the conversation is pretty hard to follow, and obviously doesn't benefit from the intervening years of experience. In addition, there have been plenty of changes to agents, including some recent enhancements that address some of the pain points that Alex Miller mentioned above.
I propose closing this as 'invalid' or whatever, and opening one or more new issues to track whatever issues still persist (presumably based on fresh ML discussion, etc).
Rereading the original description of this ticket, without reading all of the comments that follow, that description is still right on target for the behavior of latest Clojure master today.
People send messages to the Clojure Google group every couple of months hitting this issue, and one even filed
CLJ-959 because of hitting it. I have updated the examples on ClojureDocs.org for future, and also for pmap and clojure.java.shell/sh which use future in their implementations, to warn people about this and explain that they should call (shutdown-agents), but making it unnecessary to call shutdown-agents would be even better, at least as the default behavior. It sounds fine to me to provide a way for experts on thread behavior to change that default behavior if they need to.
Patch clj-124-v1.patch dated Jul 31 2014 implements the approach of calling clojure.lang.Agent#shutdown when the new Var *auto-shutdown-agents* is true, which is its default value.
I don't see any benefit to making this Var dynamic. Unless I am missing something, only the root binding value is visible after clojure.main/main returns, not any binding that would be pushed on top of that if it were dynamic. It seems to require alter-var-root to change it to false in a way that this patch would avoid calling clojure.lang.Agent#shutdown.
This patch only adds the shutdown call to clojure.main#main, but can easily be added to the legacy_repl and legacy_script methods if desired.
Patch clj-124-daemonthreads-v1.patch dated Aug 23 2014 simply modifies the ThreadFactory so that every thread created in an agent thread pool is a daemon thread.

The main reason is to be able to monitor performance statistics and utilization of the server - such as CPU utilization, disk utilization and bandwidth utilization - for a moment in time vs. over a time period - week/month. I'm assuming that ISPConfig can provide this type of info in at least numbers if not charts, but I want to confirm that before I install it. Thanks.

Goodness. I have missed creating new tutorials lately.
Sadly – this is not a post to remedy that.
However, this IS a post to show that I really did get to wear that scarf that I made several months ago – my very first crochet project. (Confession: I haven't crocheted much since – it takes soooo stinking long to crochet something!!!)
I mentioned here that I made this scarf, and I planned to wear it during my time in Montreal. Well, last week I had my time in Montreal! It was a GREAT gettaway with my husband — alone. Just the two of us. Kind of weird, but really nice.
I tried to snap a few photos of me actually wearing this scarf so that you can 1. see who i am – I don't post too many photos of myself – for everyone's benefit!, and 2. see that I really do make use of what I make.
(for the record – I did not love Montreal. I did, however, LOVE Fabricville in Montreal!)
Much love to you all – I'll post a bit tonight or tomorrow about the kids' halloween costumes, and then I'll do my best to get some more tutorials up! Miss me!

PowerPoint Zero-Day Attack Points to Corporate Espionage
A second Trojan used in the latest zero-day attack against Microsoft Office contains characteristics that pinpoint corporate espionage as the main motive, according to virus hunters tracking the threat.
According to an alert from Symantec, a backdoor called Trojan.Riler.F is installing itself as a layered service provider, or LSP, allowing it access to every piece of data entering and leaving the infected computer.
An LSP is a legitimate system driver linked deep into the networking services of Windows. It is used primarily to allow the operating system to connect to other computers, but virus writers have found a way to make malicious programs work as LSPs to hijack sensitive data during transmission.
Symantec, of Cupertino, Calif., said the Trojan also opens a back door on the compromised system and connects to the "soswxyz.8800.org" domain. The Trojan then listens and waits for commands from a remote attacker.
Alfred Huger, senior director of engineering at Symantec, said the dirty PowerPoint file infects the machine with a piece of malware called Trojan.PPDropper.C which in turn drops two separate backdoors that give the attack unauthorized access to the compromised computer.
The first Trojan, called Backdoor.Bifrose.E, logs keyboard strokes, hijacks sensitive system data and transmit the information back to a remote server hosted in China.
F-Secure, an anti-virus vendor with headquarters in Finland, said the Bifrose backdoor file is an uncompressed PE executable that is encrypted with a simple algorithm. The backdoor is programmed to connect to "pukumalon.8800.org," which is a free host bouncing service in China.
The 8800.org domain, like other similar hosting services, has been used in several zero-day attacks this year, according to F-Secure researcher Mikko Hypponen.
The F-Secure anti-virus team found backdoors connecting to China-hosted domains in March 2005, September 2005, March 2006, April 2006, May 2006 and July 2006.

SOCORRO – An exhibit of books and photographs focusing on the historic events culminating in the first atomic bomb explosion at Trinity Site is now on display at New Mexico Tech's Joseph R. Skeen Library.
The display is mostly comprised of items from the Skeen Library's larger Wilkening Collection — an extensive archive of books, photographs, memoirs, research papers, and artifacts compiled by Dr. Marvin H. Wilkening, professor emeritus of physics and dean emeritus of graduate studies at New Mexico Tech.
The Skeen Library's procurement of the Wilkening Collection was made possible last year through the concerted efforts of Marvin Wilkening's daughter, Dr. Laurel Wilkening, and son, Dr. Wes Wilkening.
On December 2, 1942, Marvin Wilkening was still a graduate student at the Illinois Institute of Technology when he joined a group of 41 other scientists being led by Enrico Fermi in achieving the first sustained chain reaction at the University of Chicago.
A group picture of the participating scientists taken shortly after the historic event is included in the current display at the Skeen Library.
A few years later, Wilkening would go on to play a supporting role in the Manhattan Project and would become an eyewitness to the first atomic explosion.
Select items from the Wilkening Collection will be on display at the Skeen Library for the next three months.

......in BroadwayPOLICE will be cracking down on motorcyclists speeding and driving dangerously in Broadway on Sunday.
West Mercia Police have teamed up with the Safer Roads Partnership and Warwickshire Police to run the joint operation on the A44, as well as the A46 in Salford Priors in Warwickshire, this weekend.
Motorcyclists are often reported racing in the two areas and officers will be carrying out highly-visible patrols in the area in an effort to stamp out the nuisance.
Specialist units involving motorcycle police, speed enforcement officers and the Operational Patrol Unit (OPU) team will be involved in the initiative which is being carried out on Sunday 20th July and will continue over the summer months around other operational commitments.
The aim is to provide a highly visible deterrent to speeding motorists and motorcyclists as well as cracking down on inappropriate riding and nuisance offences such as noise. Activity will focus on the A44 in Broadway and the A46 at Salford Priors.
"This action is also being taken in support of people living around the areas who have complained through their safer neighbourhood team or parish council about the noise and high speeds of the machines involved," he said.
"We intend to continue with this initiative until the message gets through to the minority of motorists causing the problems that their activities will not be tolerated."
Safer Roads Partnership communications manager Anna Higgins said both Worcestershire and Warwickshire are very popular with bikers but it was important they all stayed as safe as possible while on the road.
"Through local operations like this one, and by supporting the national Think Bike campaign, we aim to make motorcyclists more aware of the risks that are present when they are out on the roads and help us reduce the amount of collisions that take place," she said.
"Bikers are also invited to brush up on their skills or gain more confidence on their bike by taking advantage of our Take Control motorcycle skills course.

DELAND, Fla. - The Lipscomb women's tennis team lost its second conference match of the weekend after falling to Stetson 7-0 on Saturday in a road match.
The team lost 5-2 to Florida Gulf Coast on Thursday in Ft. Myers, Fla.
The doubles team of Jenny Borck and Deahna Welcher took home the day's only win for the team.
Lipscomb head coach Andrew Harris said that doubles continued to be a strong point for the team, but unfortunately, important momentum wasn't capitalized on by the Lady Bisons.
"There was another good fight in the doubles," Harris said. "We need to recognize those critical moments where the momentum is in the balance."
Harris said that the singles matches were the team's Achille's heel, complimenting Stetson's play.
"Heading into singles, we needed to get out early, and we were behind from the beginning – which ended up being our demise," Harris said. "Give Stetson credit as well. They will do a great job this year."
It was the third consecutive sweep of a match for Stetson.
The Lady Bisons will look to put Saturday's loss behind them as they are set to host an early match against Northern Iowa on Wednesday at the Huston-Marsh-Griffith Tennis Center.

|Assistant Coach
Kerri Reaves begins her fourth season as an assistant on Beryl Piper's staff at Central Connecticut State University.
Reaves, who came to New Britain after most recently serving as an assistant at Providence, is CCSU's recruiting coordinator. She also assists in game preparation while working with compliance and academic advising efforts.
"Kerri's experience coaching and recruiting at the Division I level, combined with her head coaching experience, makes her the perfect addition to our staff," Piper said. "She is a hard worker who will promote CCSU athletics in a positive way. I am so excited that she is on board to help us move the Central Connecticut women's basketball program to a new level."
Prior to arriving at CCSU, Reaves spent two seasons in her second stint as an assistant coach for the Friars. In addition to acting as the team's academic liaison, Reaves's responsibilities included recruiting, working with the Friar wing players and on floor coaching. She also served as an assistant coach with Providence for six seasons from 1996-2002. From 1999-2002, the former Marquette standout was the recruiting coordinator for the Friars.
Before her return to Providence College, Reaves spent 2002-05 as the head women's basketball coach at Saint Leo University, an NCAA Division II program affiliated with the Sunshine State Conference.
Reaves, a 1996 graduate of Marquette University, played for the Golden Eagles from 1991-95. She finished her career at Marquette among the top-10 all-time in scoring (1,203 points), rebounding (608 rebounds), free-throws made (297), steals (195), three-point field goals made (84) and blocked shots (47).
She led the Golden Eagles to the Women's National Invitational Tournament in 1993 as a sophomore and, as team captain, helped guide the program to consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances in 1994 and 1995. During her four-year career, Marquette posted a 79-41 record.
Upon completion of her eligibility, Reaves worked as a student assistant with the Golden Eagles during the 1995-96 season.

Astroturf is the term for manufacturing an artificial appearance of grassroots concern about an issue. The idea is to pump a bunch of money into a PR campaign that makes it look like there is public support for something, to either make politicians think the public actually supports something, or to provide "cover" for politicians to vote against the public interest.
I received the following in my inbox today, from the PR firm Padilla Speer Beardsley. Their "About Us" page says, "The specialists in our firm can help you speak through the news media, on the Web, within your trade group or directly to your constituents."
The following the very definition of astroturf: manufacturing an appearance of popular support, where there is none. It comes just as the House and Senate are meeting to finalize the financial reform bill. I would say this effort is more likely in the category of providing cover for politicians to vote against the public interest than trying to persuade politicians that there is support for something.
Americans Want Uncle Sam Out of Wall Street
Hi Dave,
Almost half of Americans (42%) prefer the government take a less significant role in the financial services industry according to a new OmniWeb survey conducted by GfK Financial Services, a division of GfK Custom Research North America.
Other highlights included below in the press release revealing that current opinions break away from political stereotypes (as "blue" states are starting to align with "red" states). …
NEARLY HALF OF AMERICANS PREFER LESS GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT IN THE FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY REPORTS NEW GfK SURVEY
Study reveals current opinions break away from political stereotypes
NEW YORK, May 26 2010 – GfK Financial Services, a division of GfK Custom Research North America, today announced highlights from a new OmniWeb survey that reveals almost half of Americans (42%) prefer the government take a less significant role in the financial services industry. Comparatively, only 26% of respondents say they'd like to see more government involvement.
Political Lines Blurring… Blue States Align with Red
Surprisingly, "blue states" are in agreement with their Republican counterparts when it comes to government involvement in the financial services industry. In fact, more respondents on the predominately Democratic West coast report they would prefer to see a lighter federal hand in Wall Street affairs (46%) than their "red state" neighbors in the Midwest (44%) and the South (41%). Additionally, over one third (36%) of Americans who live in the Northeast also prefer less government involvement. To compare, 28% of respondents in the Northeast say they'd actually like to see more of a federal presence as well as 27% in the West, 25% in the Midwest and 23% in the South.
Across the Demographics… Americans Want Less
More men (46%) than women (39%) say they prefer less government involvement in the financial services industry. Additionally, while respondents across all age groups agreed they'd like to see less of Uncle Sam on Wall Street, Americans 65 and older were more likely to prefer less government involvement (54%) than younger generations (34% among 18-to 24-year-olds). Results also show that households with the highest reported annual income ($75,000 plus) actually prefer more government involvement (38%) than any other income segment (25% among households that make less than $20,000 annually).
"With the slow economic recovery, the sheen is off the federal stimulus packages," explains Douglas Cottings, Managing Director of GfK Financial Services. "Americans are growing weary and earning back their trust in Wall Street and Washington is still a major sticking point. To help turn the tide, it's critical for financial companies to refocus their time and resources on first repairing the damage to their reputation in order to win back consumer confidence."
Additional survey findings will be released at the Life Insurance and Market Research Association (LIMRA) Marketing and Research Conference in Orlando, Florida as part of the June 4th presentation, "Winners and Losers: Recession Impact on Perceptions of Companies."
Etc., Etc.
Note the anti-government tone. The government coughs up trillions of dollars to save their asses, and they respond by using that money to promote "less government involvement"

customer reviews
The part is high quality and chic and sexy only, with my character, I'm unhappy; V-shape seen from the side, and by the side of the part for me is too conspicuous. At another figure, I would have kept it. That's why I chose a consistent part. However, I miss bathing suits that are meant for women with large breasts for me with a cup size "G". Otherwise, the models are down around too far and revamped too tight.
Das Teil ist hochwertig und schick und sexy nur bin ich mit meiner Figur unzufrieden; V-Form von der Seite, und von der Seite gesehen ist das Teil für mich zu auffällig. Bei einer anderen Figur hätte ich es behalten. Deshalb wählte ich ein durchgängiges Teil. Allerdings vermisse ich z.B. für mich mit einer Cup-Größe "G" Badeanzüge, die für Frauen mit großem Busen gedacht sind. Ansonsten sind die Modelle unten herum zu weit und obenherum zu eng.

I probably spent an hour total on Halfling 2, and the hint wasn't very helpful because I was saving my death protection for the boss almost every time. If you told me to go back and do it again right now, I probably wouldn't know how because I think I was just trying desperate, random things at that point.
It feels like the player has too many options from the start, and it's not clear at all what is best to convert and when to do it, and when to cast what (or if BYCEPS even needs to be casted at all in puzzle 2). Puzzle 3 was not as bad, but as an experienced player the knockback thing was obvious to me; and after that it was just a matter of kill order and "okay this glyph can't be used anymore so convert".

Look here, Rob Buska, whoever you are. I am Napkin Gladwell, journalist and bestselling author of books people read on airplanes. I am not a photographer. I am not in Australia. And I was certainly not "snapping" Venus Williams's "goods."
A reader sends us the following:
I am a board operator at a station that syndicates Sporting News Radio programming at night. It's fucking terrible stuff. Last night around 5:30 a.m. host Rob Buska started talking about the Australian Open and the Venus Williams story, and about 30 seconds into the clip I've attached, he credits the photos of Venus to Napkin Gladwell. I am not positive whether he understands what he is doing. On the one hand, it seems kind of tough to get confused about the whole thing, since the original post is credited to Barry Petchesky and since the picture of Napkin Gladwell should make it clear that it's a bit. On the other hand, you can tell from this clip and the rest of his show that this guy is a moron. At no point in this audio or anywhere else in the show does he give any indication that he is anything but dumb enough to think Napkin Gladwell is a real person who is taking photos at the Australian Open. So that's the version of events I tend to believe, and if that version is true, I thought you would enjoy knowing that someone out there thinks there's a photographer running around Australia whose parents named him 'Napkin.'
The audio is above. Have a listen. My next essay, "Cocky: What Exposed Dong Tells Us About Subprime Mortgages And The American Culture Of Ownership," will be out shortly.

(CCS; Central Cervical Cord Syndrome; Central Cord Injury; Injury, Central Cord; Paralysis, Upper Extremity; Syndrome, Central Cord; Syndrome, Central Cervical Cord; Upper Extremity Paralysis; Acute Central Cord Syndrome)
Central cord syndrome (CCS) is a type of incomplete spinal cord injury. CCS is marked by damage to the nerve fibers that bring messages from the brain to the body. This condition affects how you can use your arms and hands, and in some cases, your legs. There may be a loss of sensation and motor control.
Spinal Cord
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
CCS is caused by damage to the central part of the spinal cord. This damage may occur when the neck is hyperextended. This can be associated with:
- Syringomyelia (syrinx)—a cyst in the spinal cord
- Loss of blood supply to the area
- Bleeding in the spinal cord
- Swelling
Common causes of injury include:
- Trauma, such as car accident, sports injuries, and falls
- Degenerative condition of spine—often found in older people
- Pre-existing condition, such as being born with a narrow spine
CSS can also be due to:
- Structural problems
- Tumors within the spinal cord
Risk Factors
Risk Factors
Males over 50 are more likely to have this condition. Risk factors that increase your chances of developing CCS include:
- Autoimmune disorder, such as multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica
- Pre-existing condition, such as narrow spinal canal, spinal cord disease, and tethered cord
- Participation in certain sports, such as wrestling and diving
Symptoms of CCS may include:
- Inability to lift arms and hands completely, or numbness and tingling
- Difficulty with fine motor control, such as buttoning a shirt
- Muscle weakness in legs, difficulty walking
- Loss of bladder control
If CCS is due to trauma, symptoms usually come quickly. Sometimes, however, symptoms may come more slowly.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. A neurologic exam may also be done.
Images may be taken of your spinal cord. These can be done with:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Rehab can take a long time for some patients. If you are young and have more muscle function, you have a better chance of recovering.
Treatment options include the following:
Nonsurgical Treatment
In most cases, surgery is not needed. Often treatment involves:
- Restricting neck movement
- Giving steroids
- Doing physical and occupational therapy
Surgery is needed if there is a large compression of the spinal cord fibers. Surgery may also be done after a period of recovery. For example, if you still have cord compression after a recovery period.
To help reduce your chance of getting a spinal cord injury, take the following steps:
- Avoid diving if you do not know how deep the water is.
- Always wear a seatbelt.
- Do not drink and drive. Do not ride with someone who has been drinking.
- Remove obstacles in your house, like throw rugs, that could cause falls.
- Use safe methods and proper equipment when playing sports.
- Secure firearms.

Skyrocketing number of cases stirs debate.
Despite enormous efforts by health experts to promote the benefits of natural childbirth, the rate of Cesarean sections continues to soar, The New York Times reports.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a report last week reporting that the C-section rate rose 53 percent from 1996 to 2007, reaching 32 percent, the highest rate ever reported in the United States. The CDC found that the pace of the increase accelerated during the 2000-2007 period.
C-sections account for nearly one-third of all U.S. births, making surgical deliveries the most common operation in U.S. hospitals, the Times reports.
According to the figures reported by the Times, the highest C-section rate was in New Jersey (38.3 percent) and the lowest was in Utah (22.2 percent). The U.S. has the highest C-section rate of all industrialized nations, but the CDC report notes that surgical deliveries are skyrocketing past 40 percent in China and developing Latin American countries.
The rising rate has been debated for years, with critics saying the operation is performed too often and needlessly; other experts insisting C-sections, when necessary, can save a mother and baby from injury and death, the Times reports.
A C-section may seem like the easier and safer way to give birth, but it can also be riskier for you and your baby if done for the wrong reasons. Although there are definite legitimate reasons for having a C-section, here our experts share with you why women should get the facts straight about this surgery before they voluntarily decide to go under the knife. Plus, our experts offer five ways to avoid having one.
If you do deliver your baby via surgery, check out our expert advice on recovering from a C-section to make those first days after baby arrives easier.
For an inside look at a real-life C-section, follow one of our own staff members in her C-section experience. A Fit Pregnancy contributing editor shared her feelings, photos and video of the day she gave birth to her twins via C-section. She couldn't have put it better: "I also knew I'd love my babies no matter how they arrived —naturally, C-section or FedEx 2Day."
Our Ask The Labor Nurse blogger comments about the recent report and why in her opinion the c-section rate keeps going up.
