Pencils Down for KOffice Summer of Code Students!
With an avalanche of last-minute commits, the KOffice Google Summer of Code students finished yet another great Summer of Code. We had some very exciting projects this year, and most of them were as great a success as last year. Read on for details of the achievements.
This year we had:
We had one disappointment this year, our student due to work on collaborative editing disappeared, only to surface around mid-term with a code drop — before disappearing again. So no collaborative editing in KWord this year. You cannot win them all.
But the other five students have delivered outstanding work, often going far beyond what their mentors thought possible initially. Let's take a look at what they have done up to now!
Emanuele Tamponi
In last week's Commit Digest we already saw part of what Emanuele has done this summer: mixing colours in a way that looks and feels completely natural, by simulating the way light is reflected of pigment. This is a two-way process: to go from a colour defined in RGB to a colour defined by the properties of pigment and light and back to RGB again. The first step is usually done by using a spectrometer and actualling measuring the colours. Emanuele has created code to simulate that without special equipment, and in a way that is repeatable and makes it possible to experiment.
But that was only part of his work: another part of the project was to make it possible to paint with more than one colour at the time and to be able to make the brush pick up existing colours from the canvas: complex loading and bidirectional paint transfer. The colour mixing really grabbed Emanuele, leading him to create more and more sophisticated code, leaving little time for the complex loading and bidi paint transfer part of his project. However, he managed to check in a preliminary version just in time... and right now he is staying in his sea-side cottage coding, coding and coding. More commits are to follow!
Fredy Yanardi
The new Flake architecture for KOffice 2.0 not only enables us to create applications that integrate all kinds of possible content in specialised documents, there is also infrastructure to make it easy to add interesting functionality to shapes through plugins. Fredy's mission was to implement a number of these plugins, both to demonstrate the flexibility of our architecture and to add useful functionality to KWord. Remember, with KWord 2.0 rewrite we lost a lot of existing functionality because it has actually been a complete rewrite.
By now we have:
And because he was done before the end of the Summer of Code he added a new popup widget to select colours from palettes and edit new palettes.
Marijn Kruisselbrink
They said it could not be done. But Marijn did it: fully editable music right inside any KOffice document. Essentially a plugin of the same level of complexity as KOffice's justly famous formula editor. The plugin supports multiple voices, measures, adding and removing of notes of every description, loading and saving in ODF documents, import and export to and from the standard MusicXML format. Marijn started his work already before the Summer of Code, when he was able to show notes in KWord when he visited me in April. Interesting bits are the automatic line wrapping, which is more complex in music than in text.
This plugin more than anything else shows off the power KOffice has gained through the Flake architecture. Marijn is very enthusiastic and will continue working on the music flake: connected notes, lyrics, multi-page music and fallback support for OpenOffice and other ODF-compatible applications are all on his to do.
Oh, and as you can see... it is actually possible to seamlessly develop KOffice on OS X, too.
Pierre Ducroquet
Confession time! Right after the KWord rewrite started, KWord did not support ODF at all anymore. Pierre's work therefore included essentially recreating ODF support, together with his mentor, Sebastian Sauer. He was present at the ODF meeting in Berlin, in the KDAB offices, and has gone from strength to strength. Not too mention that he had to hack stuff into KWord that was not even supported by Qt Scribe like the line-through styles. Heck, even OpenOffice doesn't support this part of the standard! Among the other hurdles he had to jump was a test suite that depended on OpenOffice.org default behaviour that contradicted the ODF standard. Great work, and Pierre, too, has said he will keep working on ODF support in KOffice.
Sven Langkamp
Krita never had the famous marching ants selection visualisation invented by Bill Atkinson for MacPaint. We have always shown our selections as masks, following my philosophy that there is not that much difference anyway. Besides, I did not know how to do marching ants. Only marching ants is perhaps a little meager for a whole summer of code project, so Sven took on the whole selection-is-a-bitmap thing.
Last year, Emanuele created a bezier curve framework for Krita that led to magnetic selections and bezier curve selections: however, those curves were mercilessly converted to pixels. Given the hard work Jan Hambrechts and Thorsten Zachmann have put into the flake vector path shape, it seemed silly not to try and re-use that in Krita.
Krita's selections now consist of two components: a masks that allows gradations of selection and editable paths that allow editing of the path shape at all times. The combined selection can be visualised as a mask, as marching ants, both or not at all. Sure, there's still a lot of work to do, and I managed to break some of his work when working on nodes, layers and mask — my bad! — but Sven has advanced Krita 2.0 in a really important way.
A selection that consists of vectors:
And one that consists of a pixel mask:
In Other Words...
Like last year, the KOffice hackers have been very lucky with the students who offered to work on our project. The interaction has been great, with students coming to the ODF hack sprint and Akademy. KWord now has three people regularly working on it instead of just one. That said, there is still plenty of space in KOffice for aspiring hackers who want to cut their teeth on a challenging, visible and fun project. If you feel that there should be a presentation tool more fun than Keynote, a diagram application cooler than Omnigraffle, a chart app that makes statistics blush when they lie — or if you think file formats are really cool, then do not wait for next year. Join us now!
Great work!
Excellent work from all concerned, and I hope you all stay on - you are great assets to the KDE project :)

I didn't they Koffice had so much work done
It seemed like development was at blitzkrieg pace in preparation for KDE 4, but I didn't hear too much about koffice. This is some excellent news, I've always favored the Koffice suite over openoffice + gimp and now they've gotten even better.

Re: I didn't they Koffice had so much work done
When I last counted, ca a year ago, all of KOffice was approximately 850,000 lines of code. Now, when I asked a day or so ago, somebody counted to a little over a million. It's big, people, and it's being worked on.

Congratulations for coding this summer for the open community. It is such code that we all appreciate.
Well done! :)

I think that the biggest hindrance is a unified API or language for all these accelerators (taking into account not only the GPUs !). Many developers are probably scared that their code depends on the whim of the accelerator producer in terms of long-term compatibility of the source code with the API or language or of the binary code with the available hardware; sure, you can't prevent the hardware being obsoleted or the company from going out of bussiness, but if you're only one recompilation away it's manageable. At the last week's ISC'08, after the ATI/AMD and NVidia talks, someone asked a NVidia guy about any plans of unification with at least ATI/AMD on this front and the answer was "we're not there yet"... while the ATI/AMD presentation went on to say "we learnt from mistakes with our past implementations and we present you now with OpenCL" - yet another way of programming their GPU... I see this situation very similar to the SSE vs. 3Dnow of some years ago or the one before MPI came to replace all the proprietary communication libraries.

What is an FCC Incentive Auction?
An incentive auction is a voluntary, market-based means of repurposing much-needed spectrum for flexible use, including mobile services.
What is spectrum?
Spectrum is the invisible infrastructure used by wireless devices, such as smartphone and tablets, to provide communications services.
How much money will the auction raise and will it be sufficient to pay for the public safety broadband network?
Because of the nature of the incentive auction process, the FCC will not know the amount of money raised till the auction is concluded. The FCC's incentive auction is being designed to maximize our ability to fulfill the goals of the Spectrum Act.
When will the FCC complete its auction process?
The FCC currently estimates it will conclude the incentive auction proceeding in 2013 and hold the incentive auction during 2014.
How can broadcasters learn about their rights in the incentive auction proceeding?
Broadcasters can review the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on our website. In addition, we have launched our Broadcaster LEARN Program, which consists of information packets available on our website, workshops, and webinars, as well as direct outreach. Broadcasters can send questions to our Broadcaster LEARN Program email address: firstname.lastname@example.com.
What does the September 28, 2012 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking do and how can I send comments in to the FCC?
The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking kicks off the rulemaking process for the FCC to establish its incentive auction regulatory regime. The public may submit comments electronically using the Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS).
What services will improved by incentive auctions?
The additional spectrum reclaimed through the incentive auction will help increase the speed, capacity, flexibility, and ubiquity of mobile broadband services such as 4G LTE and Wi-Fi-like networks to improve performance of devices, such as smartphones and tablets, that rely on mobile networks.
Will I lose my over-the-air broadcast television?
No. The incentive auction process will enhance the ability of broadcasters who remain on the air to continue providing the public with diverse, local, free over-the-air television service. However, in order to accommodate the new wireless broadband services, there may be a brief transition period. The FCC will work with broadcasters to ensure that any transition is brief and that consumers are well-informed of any potential disruptions.
Who do I contact if I have general questions about incentive auctions?
Send an e-mail to the incentive auctions e-mail box: email@example.com.

Brownwood, TX – The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor football team basically put the game away in the first quarter and the 2nd-ranked Cru rolled to a 68-6 victory over Howard Payne University Saturday afternoon in Brownwood. UMHB improves to 8-0 overall and 5-0 in American Southwest Conference play with the victory. The Cru has also now won 32 consecutive regular season games and 24 straight ASC contests with the win. The loss drops the Yellow Jackets to 1-7 overall and 1-4 in the ASC on the year.
UMHB scored on its first possession as LiDarral Bailey capped a 46-yard drive with a six-yard TD run. The Cru added a safety when Javicz Jones blocked an HPU punt out of the end zone on the next possession. After the free kick, UMHB marched 50 yards and Bailey hit Tyler Coker with a 21-yard scoring strike to push the lead to 16-0. Bailey added a 29-yard TD toss to Caleb Moore on the next possession to give the Cru a 23-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. Stephen Salinas scored on a three-yard run 1:30 into the second quarter to stretch it to 30-0 and Chad Peevey hit a 21-yard field goal to make it 33-0 with just 34 seconds left in the half. HPU would drive to within field goal range, but the Cru blocked the try and Jordan Mullinnix scooped up the loose ball and returned it 40 yards for a touchdown on the final play of the first half to give UMHB a 40-0 lead at the break.
Bailey hit Moore with a 21-yard touchdown pass on the opening drive of the second half, Darius Wilson scored on a 13-yard run and Jake Sims hit Jon Ross with a 37-yard touchdown pass to make it 61-0 Cru at the end of the third quarter. Howard Payne's Joseph Bell spoiled UMHB's shutout bid with a one-yard scoring plunge with 4:42 remaining, but the Cru would block the extra point. Bradlee Waddell then closed out the scoring with a two-yard TD run with 1:18 to go for UMHB.
The Cru rolled up 550 yards of total offense with 350 of those coming on the ground. The UMHB defense held the Yellow Jackets to just 38 rushing yards and 117 yards of total offense. Both teams turned the ball over twice.
Bailey finished 5-6 passing for 80 yards and three touchdowns and added 65 yards and another TD on the ground. Sims was 6-11 through the air for 118 yards and a TD. Moore caught three passes for 52 yards and two touchdowns. UMHB used 10 different ball carriers, three quarterbacks played and eight different receivers caught passes. Jarred Favorite, Deshon Kinsey and Marcus Gayden led the Cru with eight tackles apiece.
Senior linebacker Javicz Jones finished with four tackles for UMHB and tied the American Southwest Conference career record with 403 total tackles. He shares the record with former Hardin-Simmons linebacker Jared Sanderson and will hold that record with his next tackle. Jones is the first player in UMHB history to go over 400 career tackles.
Adrian Lighteard ran for 100 yards on 12 carries for HPU, but the Yellow Jackets gave up four sacks and the rest of the team combined for -62 rushing yards. Victor Gonzales had 13 tackles to lead the Howard Payne defense.
The Cru will return to action with a 1:00 PM kickoff at East Texas Baptist University next Saturday in Marshall. UMHB can clinch at least a share of the ASC title and claim the league's automatic berth in the NCAA Division III National Championships with a win over the Tigers.

Steven Pienaar and Denis Stracqualursi struck as Everton FC piled on the pressure for Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas on Saturday.
Pienaar celebrated his Goodison Park return by firing Everton FC into a fifth-minute lead on another dismal Barclays Premier League afternoon for Chelsea, and Stracqualursi doubled the advantage in the second half.
The defeat left Chelsea, who lost at Goodison for a third successive year, without a win in four league games, and it was another setback in their bid to retain a top-four place.
Fernando Torres' dismal season also continued as the Spaniard again struggled in front of goal and there was further bad news as England left-back Ashley Cole limped off.
For Everton, who beat Manchester City in their previous home game, the recent revival continued, however.
New signing Nikica Jelavic was unable to feature due to a stomach muscle injury but Pienaar, back at the club on loan after a year at Tottenham, relished being back on Merseyside.
Stracqualursi also proved a handful for the visiting defence and marked a hard-working performance with a first Premier League goal.
Chelsea had welcomed back Cole from suspension and Frank Lampard after injury - relegating new signing Gary Cahill back to the bench - but inspiration was lacking.
Pienaar, by contrast, clearly wanted to make an impact from the outset and burst forward in the first minute in a move that ended with Landon Donovan prodding harmlessly wide.
Chelsea failed to heed that warning and were punished after five minutes when Lampard deflected a Tim Cahill ball over Branislav Ivanovic's head.
Pienaar raced into the box, controlled the bouncing ball on his chest and smashed past Petr Cech into the roof of the net.
Everton quickly looked to build on their lead and David Luiz needed to head behind an awkward Phil Neville cross under pressure from Stracqualursi.
Chelsea's first serious attack petered out as Torres, still without a league goal since September, was forced to turn away from goal and play backwards.
Everton threatened again when Donovan shot powerfully but straight at Cech from distance.
Chelsea were inches away from an equaliser as Daniel Sturridge met a low ball from Juan Mata, which Torres cleverly allowed to run across the edge of the area, with a firm shot but it was deflected over by Neville.
Mata caused further problems for the home defence as he pulled the ball back for Lampard but the England midfielder dragged his shot wide from 18 yards.
Leighton Baines combined well with Pienaar to break into the Chelsea box but Cahill, ruled onside, was unable to control his pass as he turned to shoot.
Baines troubled Chelsea again with an inswinging free-kick but Cahill was flagged offside as he stretched to reach a ball which rebounded off Cech's legs.
Chelsea's Raul Meireles was booked for kicking Stracqualursi as the Argentinian tried to break clear and the Everton striker shot at Cech moments later.
Torres felt he should have had a penalty just before half-time when he was blocked off by John Heitinga.
The former Liverpool forward complained to referee Mike Jones after the whistle was blown but was led away to the tunnel by Everton's Marouane Fellaini.
Chelsea pushed forward in the opening minutes of the second half but Everton's defence, well led by Sylvain Distin, remained firm.
After soaking up the pressure, Everton's Stracqualursi showed great persistence to win the ball from Ivanovic in the Chelsea area but his shot was blocked.
A loud cheer rang out when Torres was booked for a late challenge on Pienaar, whose footwork continued to cause Chelsea problems.
Torres, who had worked hard but without looking like scoring, found himself in the right position when Bosingwa crossed but headed straight at Tim Howard.
Ivanovic was unhappy when Donovan pushed him as the pair ran out of play and his angry reaction earned a rebuke from Jones.
Villas-Boas attempted to inject fresh life into his side by sending on Florent Malouda for Michael Essien, but the change did not appear to be appreciated by all visiting fans.
Everton doubled their lead 18 minutes from time after Neville won the ball in midfield from Cole and released Donovan.
The American ran at the defence and then flicked a fine ball into the path of Stracqualursi, who calmly wrong-footed Cech and slotted the ball home despite the keeper's desperate attempt to claw it away.
Cole had remained on the ground after the challenge by Neville and, after the restart was delayed while he received treatment, he was unable to continue much longer.
Cole looked in much discomfort as he hobbled off to be replaced by Ryan Bertrand.
Chelsea controlled possession in the closing minutes but the Everton defence, with Distin again prominent, coped with everything.

The phrase "help desk" often brings to mind a remote technical support team assisting callers with computer application issues. But today's help desk has undergone profound changes. Service desks today are based on Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) principles that direct providers to align their IT services with the needs of their clients' businesses. As the service desk takes on a much broader role, serving as the central point of contact for all IT service-related activities, help desks have quickly become "the face of IT," making it critical for IT pros to know what questions to ask when evaluating potential partners. To help, Logicalis, an international IT solutions and managed services provider, has identified six key questions CIOs should ask while shopping for an outsourced service desk solution.
"The time to pinpoint what's important to your organization in a help desk partner is before the relationship begins," says Tom Roberts, solution architect for Logicalis. "Outsourcing help desk functions should be a way for CIOs to increase their service levels and, many times, decrease their costs in the process. The key to choosing the right service desk partner is through an up-front investigation of their services and policies, and a drilling down into the way they conduct their business by knowing what questions are critical to ask."

Monsters of the ID come to mobile
Creators of Doom and Quake establish mobile division
Id Software, the company responsible for Quake, Doom and Wolfenstein, has established a mobile division with a view to porting all three games to mobile phones, according to USA Today.
Id has done mobile games before: the Doom RPG was (and is) a turn-based version of the original 3-D violence, which sold more than a million copies when launched in '05; while Orcs & Elves was more of the same but designed from the ground-up for mobile play, and sold half a million last year.
But according to Id's John Carmack that's just the beginning. "We're already making profit on two million units of games," he said, "but we are kind of holding out this hope there might be a breakout moment when the industry gets five to ten times larger."
None of the mobile games launched by Id thus far include network play, and it's hard to imagine how they could recreate those lost weekends of Doom for a new generation. But the company does appear to understand that mobile gaming isn't just about porting last year's titles onto a mobile phone - even if they're prepared to use the titles of those games to promote their new content. ®

Carrie Underwood Relieved to Have an Uplifting Single
Carrie Underwood has lots of dark, heavy singles in her Grammy-winning career, singing about funeral processions, cheating husbands, and satisfactory revenge. With her newest single 'See You Again,' the powerhouse vocalist has completely shifted gears, saying she is relieved to have an uplifting, positive single.
The touching song, which is an inspirational message for fans who have lost a loved one, is anything but dark or vengeful. Underwood tells reporters with a laugh, "I have been saying, since 'See You Again' came out, I'm so happy, I have a positive message!"
Her newest offering is certainly positive, and it's definitely more reminiscent of who Underwood seems like in reality. But, that doesn't mean the singer wants to cross the edgier songs from her repertoire. "I love having songs with attitude. I love getting onstage and rocking out," she says (according to Country Weekly), adding, "I don't have a violent streak in me, but I sing like I do." It seems that those types of songs give the gorgeous star an outlet to act in a way she would only dream of in real life.
When the time comes to switch from her skintight black leather mentality into a more ethereal mindset, Underwood welcomes the change, saying, "It's so nice to have something that does have a positive message. It feels good."
She really does shine at both types of songs, as her emotional and heartfelt side was portrayed beautifully at the 2013 CMT Awards, but she's always ready to don black gloves and a short black dress to give the audience a different side of her music.

Preservation professionals and modernist enthusiasts from all over the country journeyed down to the Lone-Star State last month to celebrate Docomomo US' second annual National Symposium where everything is big from the hats, hair, and modern architecture. Co-sponsored with Houston Mod, the Symposium took place at Houston's University of St. Thomas, designed by Phillip Johnson in 1958, a location that facilitated the weekend's discussions about modern architecture's significance and role today. The jam-packed, three-day event offered guests a birds-eye view of modernism in Texas, the current state of preserving modernism, the ground-breaking work of architectural archivists and challenge to preserve the ephemeral.
The symposium kicked-off Thursday morning with the annual Docomomo US Board of Directors and Chapter Leadership Forum meetings in the iconic Alley Theatre. The theater, designed by Ulrich Franzen and opened in 1968, has played a significant role in the life of Houstonians, as well as the nation, and is currently waiting to undergo a major restoration project that will revamp the interior and exterior, breathing new life into the building. The view of the Houston skyline created the perfect backdrop for the morning's conversation. During the meetings, the Board of Directors welcomed three new board members, Jennifer Magnolfi (New York), Robert Thomas (Boston), and Robert Pullum (San Francisco), as well as the newly formed chapters of Washington DC and Michigan. After a walking tour of significant modern architecture in the downtown area, the symposium formally began at the First Church of Christ, Scientist with opening remarks by Docomomo US President Theodore Prudon and Houston Mod President Steve Curry and the presentation of the inagural Modernism in America awards.

He was born Dawid Szymin in Warsaw in 1911, and would later anglicize his name to David Seymour, but for generations of photojournalism aficionados and history buffs who have marveled for decades at his astonishing pictures, made all over the world, he is primarily known by his self-chosen nom de photo: Chim. In 1947, Seymour joined Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa and George Rodger as a co-founder of the enormously influential photography collective, Magnum, and a year later was tapped by the newly formed United Nations Children's Fund — UNICEF — to document the conditions endured by millions of children across post-war Europe.
For months, after buying a new car, from the spring of 1948 into the fall, Chim crisscrossed five European countries: Austria, Greece, Italy, Hungary and his native Poland. In late December of that year, LIFE published a number of Seymour's pictures, telling its readers:
After almost four years of peace Christmas at last means more to Europe's children than another dreary day in the midst of one more winter. Where for many there was only cold hunger, now there is some food and some warmth. Where there were no gifts, now there are some salvaged or new-made toys. In half a dozen nations this will be the brightest Christmas since the war's beginning. But in Italy and Greece, Austria, Poland and Yugoslavia, millions will find Christmas more a day for wishing than for song. To bring home the misery of these children to American now enjoying the 84th Christmas since a war was fought on U.S. soil, photographer David Seymour traveled through five European countries on both sides of the Iron Curtain, [chronicling] scenes that were not necessarily typical but that best dramatize the enormous task [at hand]. A frantic girl in a Polish institute speaks for millions who are only unhappy. An armless, blind boy in an Italian home conveys the wretchedness of thousands who cry for help because they cannot help themselves.
[See the LightBox post, "A Second Look: Chim's Children of War."]
It's perhaps worth noting that the five countries LIFE mentioned in the article — Italy, Greece, Austria, Poland and Yugoslavia — does not quite match the list of places where Seymour traveled for UNICEF in 1948; the fifth country in that list, if indeed it was meant to indicate the nations Seymour visited, should be Hungary, not Yugoslavia. Regardless, the real and enduring point here is that the work Seymour produced during those months in 1948, several years after the guns had stopped and something like peace — if not prosperity — had returned to Europe, remains relevant not merely because it's masterful photojournalism, but because we are still confronted with heartrendingly similar scenes of children in crisis, in all parts of the globe, every single day.
As a new exhibition of Seymour's work, We Went Back: Photographs from Europe 1933–1956 by Chim, opens at ICP in New York, LIFE.com presents the spreads from that original feature in the December 27, 1948, issue of LIFE — in tribute to Chim himself, and in memory of the millions left homeless, hungry and lost by all wars, then, now and always.

The Lone Ranger has been in the news a lot lately, and like a lot of other things today, the name rings a bell, but the image doesn't. The man wearing a white hat and his Indian companion with a dead bird on his head are certainly nothing like the masked man and Tonto I idolized most of my life.

Actually, none of today's comics and newspaper comic strips resemble the superheroes of my day and time.
Take Superman for example. Action Comics No. 1 was published back in 1938, and the Man of Steel embodied all the traits I wanted. Superman could fly, bullets couldn't touch him and he fought for all things good. That was the American way.
So did all the other superheroes. I especially remember Batman, Wonder Woman (she was for the girls, not us men), Spiderman, The Hulk and Captain Marvel.
Captain Marvel also was known as Shazam. We kids were always going around trying to yell "Shazam," as spit kept flying out of our mouths. We gave everyone a good bath most of the time.
I became a comic fan before I learned to read. I loved the newspaper comic strips most. Sometimes I'd listen to someone read the comics on the radio. However, I preferred listening to my dad read them to me. He would sometimes teach me the words, and I was reading the comics before I went to school.
We comic book readers hoarded our comics and would swap out with those who also hoarded theirs. A female friend was the worst. She collected every comic she could find and would hide them under her davenport, known as a couch these days. The seat rose in one piece and revealed a storage area. She stored them there and would beat the tar out of anyone who came close. She still laments today about not having her old comics. I bet she had the first edition of many.
In the 1950s, comic book contents started changing. The Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency got involved and set up a Comic Code Authority.
There are no more superheroes of my time. Oh, they still publish superhero comics with names such as "Superman Unchained," "X-Men" and others, but they are science fiction/fantasy comics.
I relish the old comic days, but believe it or not, today's comics can serve a purpose other than just enjoyment.
I have just read an article about a librarian in Utah who is using graphic comics to help autistic children read on their grade level. She also is using them to help refugee kids learn English.
The comics she is using include such current kids' favorites as "Y: The Last Man," the "Sandman" series, "Full-Metal Alchemist," "Stone Rabbit" and "Black Butler."
Not for me. I'll go back to Superman any day — the way he used to be, not the revised version current producers have made of him. In fact, I thought I would do my friend a favor and see if I could order her a Superman comic from the Internet.
I found a Superman No. 13. The cost was $1,125. I started lamenting the fact that I had not saved any of my comics. Then I ran across a few old newspapers in the bottom of a drawer. Three of them had comic sections, including my all-time favorite, "The Phantom," and "Little Orphan Annie," "Dick Tracy." "Archie (Andrews)," "Donald Duck," "Steve Canyon," "Gasoline Alley" and "Li'l Abner." What a thrill to see all my childhood comic strips again.
Another surprise was that some of my current favorites were in the old papers, such as "Blondie," "Snuffy Smith," "Peanuts" and "Beetle Bailey." I spent most of the afternoon reading the old comics, just as I'd done years ago when we'd roll up the rugs to move or put down new ones. There always would be old newspapers under the rugs, and I'd gather up the funny pages and read them again.

The Canucks have started the season 0-2 and some of the natives in Canuck Nation who had the parade route planned are getting restless. Thursday they ran into a pumped up Flames club at home and ran into penalty trouble early, before basically dominating the game in the second half and coming up short. Saturday they ran into a hot goaltender and a determined Avs team looking to show they aren't going to be the pushover the experts said they would be this season.
Now, I'm hardly making excuses for the Canucks, but I think there is a legitimate reason why this start has occurred, and the biggest has to lie at the feet of the coaching staff.
We all heard about the obscene amount of exhibition games the Canucks played, nine in all and for some reason the Canucks decided not to dress a "regular" lineup in any of those games. Sure, you need to avoid injuries and evaluate talent, but with a shortened training camp, and little time to gel, it would appear somewhat difficult for anyone but Daniel and Henrik Sedin to feel comfortable playing with each other, never mind hitting the ground running.
We're talking little time to work on the penalty kill as a unit. Roberto Luongo didn't see a lot of action and is off to his traditional mediocre October start. The team even went so far to bring in guys like Dave Scatchard and Mark Parrish, players with NHL experience they could dress to hit the league minimum required for preseason games. These guys had no chance of making the club.
The early games should have been the time to evaluate, the later games should have been a time to get lines set and get some cohesiveness as a unit. Willie Mitchell commented on this in Calgary saying the slow start may have been attributed to having the starters together for the first time in game one. Other teams the Canucks played in the preseason dressed string lineups, with Anaheim and Calgary coming to mind.
In reality, these first few games are training camp for the starters. It's not the end of the world, and it's a long season but perhaps in the future, the staff will consider letting the players that are going to be here gel a little more before the puck drops for real.

Honey and I went to the nude beach to take some pics, and lo and behold, there was another asian girl being photographed. Her name was Ki. We didn't want to show them up, but Michael said that we should take the nude photos anyway so he took his clothes off to take photos of them and then me. Imagine that, the photographer was nude! Anyway they noticed that we were taking photos, and came over and introduced us and we became friends and decided take some photos together. I got so hot when our naked bodies were rubbing together with everybody watching that I wanted to go down on her right there. We all became friends and promised to get together for some more good times. This is in several sets and the rest is at our website. Photographer:Michael

KENNEWICK, Wash. — College students typically complete a specific number of credits in a certain amount of time to earn a degree — whether it's an associate or a doctorate.
But a new pilot program involving about a dozen of Washington's community colleges, including Columbia Basin College in Pasco, aims to take the issue of time out of the equation.
The colleges are on track to begin offering in January a new online-based degree in business administration that is competency-based, meaning students can move as quickly as they can prove they have mastered what they're learning.
"We're more focused on what's learned, not time spent," CBC President Rich Cummins told the Herald.
There are pitfalls, specifically that students and educators will need to adjust their approach to learning, officials said. But they added that this is where education needs to go to be accessible and meet the demand for qualified workers.
"I think we all recognize we have different kinds of students," said Connie Broughton, project director for the Washington State Board of Community & Technical Colleges.
The individual colleges and state officials have spent months developing the pilot program.
They are expecting as many as 222 students from across the state to enroll in the first year. It will cost $1.4 million to get it all rolling, including hiring about a dozen instructors and other staff. Tuition is estimated to be lower than that for a traditional degree but is still being determined, college officials said.
Participating students will take 18 courses on the same material as any other student pursuing an associate degree in business administration, which typically takes two years, Broughton said.
But officials said a competency-based system could provide students a degree six months faster so long as they demonstrate knowledge. Students also will be able to transfer to four-year universities with the degree.
Online programs aren't new to community colleges and already reach thousands of students, college officials said. But a competency-based degree would be attractive to people who perhaps started a degree but weren't able to finish because of the time required or others with relevant experience in a technical area, such as veterans.
"Even our younger students are working in high school and developing good skills," said Janet Gullickson, president of Spokane Falls Community College in Spokane.
There are models on which to base the pilot program, including Spokane Falls' new competency-based certificate in business technology. But there will have to be an even stronger emphasis on assessment and testing, Cummins said, to ensure only students who have shown proficiency are moving forward.
Students may struggle, too, officials said. They'll be expected to earn the equivalent of a B on assessments before progressing to the next unit. They'll also need a lot of self-motivation if they want to earn their degree quickly.
"It turns all kinds of things on their heads," Broughton said.
College officials said they are confident they'll be able to make sure the program's graduates are fully trained. They're also taking steps to make sure students have guidance and encouragement along the way, as part of the seed money for the pilot would pay for completion coaches who would help students with questions and concerns.
Members of CBC's board also indicated at a recent meeting they were pleased with where the program was headed, with board member Kedrich Jackson specifically noting how it would rely upon adaptive learning to make sure students fully understand lessons.
"That's the best way to learn," he said.

On Sunday morning my HQ trader had this transaction log:
Well, I already had bunch of supplies in Jita due to buy orders and bought some lower listed sell orders too and soon I could send my Orca to a merry 15 jumps with 1B worth of meta guns in the hold that should supply the Knights for a day or two until I get more. Just when I arrived, Mr Metis canceled his lists and disappeared. No, he didn't start to 0.01 me, just disappeared. Where did he go? We don't know. But we know this for sure:
Why? Why does someone do something like that? The answer tells why competitive anti-socials can't take over the World and social organizations still linger: because they just can't be loyal to each other. A group of competitive anti-socials usually turn on each other. I'm probably the only one who doesn't. Do I have ethics? No. I just know that if I'd try it, I'd fail. You can devastate the morons and slackers, but not your equals. The problem with competitive people is that their constant victories make them believe that they are above the people and the law. That they are special, godlike.
We are not. We are just guys. It is true that our powers are godlike compared to the morons and slackers but it doesn't make us gods. It just makes the morons and slackers ... well morons and slackers. We aren't above the people and the law. The morons and slackers are below it. We are not special, they are especially stupid. Yes, Wescro could awox billions from these drooling subhumans, well done. But it's not because Wescro was skilled, it's because they were idiots. Similarly I made the price of three titans before my first birthday, but it doesn't make me awesome. Hey, I'm just flipping implants, there is nothing awesome about that. I'm just filthy rich because most people can't even do that, or too lazy to set something up when they have money so they are forced to grind for 40-50 M/hour when they run out of it.
So dear Wescro and others, please be nice with fellow competitive anti-socials for your own good. Keep farming the morons and slackers as you wish, but don't think for a second that you can pull something like that on us. If you realize that it's a fight you cannot win, we will have a nice little community that brings havoc and destruction to the morons and slackers. We'll be wolves among the sheep. But if wolf is not good enough for you, if you need to be the alpha wolf... well, I'll always have blog space for new laughing stocks!
PS: on Thursday I make a post how can one properly control the market instead of failing like Mr Metis.

Barilla Rolls Out Single Serve Microwaveable Meals
Barilla America, Bannockburn, Ill., rolls out a line of Barilla Microwaveable Meals, single servings of pasta and sauce that are ready to eat after just 60 seconds in the microwave. They deliver the Italian taste and quality people have come to expect from Barilla in a shelf stable and portable meal.

Shelf stable for 12 months, the pasta and sauce are stored in separate trays, allowing consumers to customize their meals. Varieties include: Mezze Penne with Traditional Marinara Sauce; Mezze Penne with Tomato & Basil Sauce; Mezze Penne with Spicy Marinara Sauce; and two whole-grain varieties -- Whole Grain Fusilli with Vegetable Marinara Sauce and Whole Grain Mezze Penne with Tomato & Basil Sauce.
"Developed with busy professionals in mind, Barilla microwavable meals are shelf stable so you can throw them into your bag on your way out the door, or keep a supply in your desk drawer," says Giannella Alvarez, president of Barilla America.

It's taken a while but I finally got around to racing my first 'true' ultra - better late than never I suppose! Why did I wait so long? Well, the fact that I'm a bit of an injury-prone runner hasn't helped convince me that I would actually survive an effort that long - And honestly, the thought of running for 100 or 160km simply scares me. That said, 80km seemed like a manageable distance, and I figured it was time to give it a shot...
Baby steps...
|Short pitstop in Revelstoke, BC on route to Whistler - The big rig sits on a plateau high above town - It was just as much fun 4x4-ing up to the Frisby Ridge trailhead as running on the trail itself!
You would think that an 80km race would warrant a bit of specific prep, but to be honest, I really didn't put a whole lot of thought into it. Then again, I can't say that ever really put a lot of structure in my training these days. I've followed a structured training plan for so many years throughout my (ski) career that I (think I) know what my body needs and when. For the most part, I try to go with the flow... Between you and I, I'd say this strategy works about 80% of the time.
I've never really been a big fan of tapering for an event - not sure why - I just feel like I'm always sluggish on race day. Everyone reacts differently to various training routines, and over the years, I've learned that I respond well to steady volume. There's a limit of course, and it's often a very fine line between feeling good, and going over the edge...the questions, where is that line?
So what does that all mean? In a nutshell, I take a look at my race objective(s), and figure out what I need most to succeed. Is it climbing? speed on flats? quad strength? technical ability? The most important thing to remember in this exercise - the key - is to ensure adequate recovery time so you can feel tip-top on race day! As simple as it may sound, most athletes have difficulty grasping this concept, feeling like they always need to do more.
Curious? Here's a glimpse of the few weeks leading up to the race. It's a short window but may give some of you some ideas on how to prepare for your next event:
- Aug 6-12: Focused on volume - 132km of running w/ 5,000m +gain (including 2 long back-to-back runs - Rundle Loop 42k + Rockwall 54k). Couple easy road rides to let the legs recover. 19hrs total.
- Aug 13-19: Focused on recovery early in the week, then volume/speed - 70km of running w/ 2,000m +gain. 110km of riding to recover from previous week. Finished off wk with 40km hard effort around Ironlegs course. 10hrs total training.
- Aug 20-26: Focused on recovery - 20km of running. 212km of riding. Body was quite tired so decided to stay off legs for the week. Few longer rides to keep volume up. 10hrs total training.
- Aug 27-Sept 2: Focused on quad endurance & rebuilding - 150km of running w/ 6,000m +gain (includes 82km MYM50 w/ 3,800m +gain). 16hrs total training.
- Mon: Hard up/down Lady Mac 15km w/ 900m +gain
- Tues: 15km easy run
- Wed: Frisby Ridge Trail (Revelstoke) 25km w/ 900m +gain
- Thurs: Day off
- Fri: 14km - Easy
- Sat: Worked all day at Salomon expo - 30min run
- Sun: RACE DAY!!
|...and am I glad I did - Phenomenal views on Frisby Ridge Trail near Revelstoke, BC!
|High alpine flowers were in full blown! The trail gained 900 vertical metres up to a max height of 2,000m in altitude. Weather was touchy, ranging from cold showers to sunny breaks - perfect temp for running!
|Seriously - It doesn't get any better than this!
As for the race... I won't bore you with all the details, so here's the quick version:
- 6am start...Off we go
- Leg 1: 10km...Speedy pace on flat-ish leg. Lots of chatter with Mr. Coo...Let the leaders run up the road...Feeling good - should be a fun day!
- Leg 2 - Comfortably Numb: 22km... Technical is the name of the game...What a great trail! This section kept our brains alive. Caught up to 2 leaders (Mike Murphy and Mark Bennett) who I would end up playing cat & mouse with the entire race. Watched Mike take about 5 spectacular crashes... good entertainment! By the end of this leg I was done with technical... just give me some f'ing flat road!
- Leg 3 - BlackComb Climb: 10km...Monster grind to the top of the mountain! Mark had a fast transition and flew out of the feed station. I grabbed my poles, some food and chased! Not sure what Mike was doing but he lingered just enough that a gap was formed...I caught up to Mark and we both paced each other to the summit. Became a race to the gondola! Left knee was quite sore...Popped a few Vitamine - I's... good to go.
- Peak 2 Peak chair - AWESOME! What a view... wow! Adding the gondola to the race was brilliant - It was great to have a break at the 40km mark. Enjoyed the best tasting soup EVER.
- Leg 4 - Whistler descent: 8km... Steep and fast. Gapped Mark a bit on lower technical section...fun to dance down the rooty sections. Definitely felt good in this section... lots of juice in the tank.
- Leg 5 - 10km or so...Wasn't ready to run solo for the rest of the way so 'waited' for Mark to catch back up...Good to have him with me to maintain our pace... took a quick detour to dip in the river - so refreshing!
- Leg 6 - 10km or so...I heard that the Flank trail would be a doozy, and it was! Gaped Mark in the first climbing section - was feeling good so pushed the pace! About 5km in, I tried to take some electrolyte tabs but stomach didn't agree with the horse-sized pills and out came my entire feed refuelling... ugh- Feeling 'lighter'... I pushed on. Couldn't eat from here on in...
- Leg 7 - 10km or so...again. Get me to the finish line. Physically, body was ok. But my energy was starting to fade as fuelling was not adequate...Coke was about the only thing I could choke down, but it wasn't enough...As I popped on the paved path in town, the energy was being sucked out of me - And then all of a sudden, Mike (who I hadn't seen since 30km mark), appeared out of nowhere and was flying! Nothing I could do...I tipped my hat and watch him cruise away...
- Happy to finish 4min back of lead...another 6min ahead of Mark.
All things considered, my 8h35min 'work-day' actually flew by surprisingly quickly. A few little kinks but overall, the body held up pretty well...
Will I do it again? Absolutely. The MYM50 course was spectacular - and included a ton of variety to keep your brain alive the entire way. Just when you would start getting tired of a specific section, the course changed, and you were confronted with another type of trail, terrain or view to keep you motivated. The perfect mix for such an event.
But what about taking that next step to the full ultra distances? Put one foot in front of the other and follow the pretty flags...for 160km. Seems simple really.
Never say never I suppose...
|Suunto Ambit Beta - A big day on the Whistler trails... good way to tour the local area ;)
|At the 50km mark...Poles in hand - Up I go!
- The course, the logistics, the markings, feed stations were top notch - kudos to the 5 Peaks crew for putting on a great year-1 event! As usual, there are always a few kinks to work out, but all things considered - a flawless event in my mind!
- Congrats to all the MYM50 participants - It was great to watch solo and relay runners funnel into the finish lines, greeted by family, friends and teammates - and sporting big smiles (most of them anyways ;)
- See you on the trails...

Physics Junior Dies After Skateboarding FallLOS ALAMOS, N.M. May 18, 2011 – New Mexico Tech physics student Graham Bultemeier, 21, died Saturday afternoon, May 14, after a skateboarding fall.

Bultemeier was long-boarding in Los Alamos when Bultemeier lost control and fell, striking his head on the pavement. Bultemeier and his friends were long-boarding near Rose Street and Central Avenue near downtown Los Alamos, according to the Los Alamos police.
"We are all shocked and saddened by the passing of Graham Bultemeier," Tech President Dr. Daniel H. Lopez said. "The entire campus community is saddened by the loss of one our students in this tragic incident. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are extended to his family during this profound personal tragedy."
A memorial service and celebration of life is being planned for June in Colorado. In lieu of flowers, donations in Graham's memory may be made at any Wells Fargo Bank. Lopez spoke with Graham's parents, Pat and Becky, and offered to plan a memorial service in Socorro after the fall 2011 semester starts.
Gina Chavez, secretary for the Physics Department, said Bultemeier was a friendly, outgoing, enthusiastic student. He always seemed happy and was a joy to be around, Chavez said.
"He loved it here and felt at home," Lopez said. "His parents told me that he felt like he was going to succeed even though Tech is difficult. It's especially difficult to lose an individual who was so committed and enthusiastic about his academic challenges at New Mexico Tech."
The Los Alamos Monitor reported that Bultemeier lost control of his skateboard and hit the pavement, according to Fire Marshal Mike Thompson. Bultemeier was not wearing a helmet and suffered trauma to the head.
The Monitor reported that off-duty firefighter Matt Muñoz witnessed the incident at 2:55 p.m. and began to render aid immediately. Muñoz then called for help. The Los Alamos Fire Department and the Los Alamos Police Department responded to the call at 3:03 p.m.
A police department spokeswoman said Bultemeier was airlifted to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center in Santa Fe, where he passed away.
The tragic fall happened as competitors raced down Camp May Road in the Atomic Bomb skateboard competition across town in Los Alamos, the Monitor reported. The Monitor reported that Joe Lehm, the owner of Timeship Racing of Santa Fe which put on the road race, said Bultemeier was not a registered competitor but he was in town to volunteer and help with parking.
"I had met him before and he was [in Los Alamos] to watch the race," Lehm told the Monitor. "It is very tragic. He came up with a friend who had given him a helmet and his friend told him to make sure he wore the helmet if he was going to skateboard and he didn't."
Born Feb. 17, 1990, in Vail, Colo., Graham graduated from Battle Mountain High School in 2008.
According to an article in the Vail Daily News, Graham's friends and family described him as an extremely giving and active person.
"While we are overwhelmed with grief, we are so grateful for the love and support of our community that Graham so passionately embraced and embodied," the Daily News quoted the Bultemeier family as saying. "Graham lived fully, although too briefly. Be open to all possibilities and accept your children for who they are — we are so thankful for and find peace in how we loved Graham so unconditionally."
The newspaper offered these vignettes about Graham.
"While he was in college a crippled dog ended up on Graham's front porch in a rainstorm. Graham nursed the starving stray back to health and decided he had to keep her as she wouldn't survive long at the local shelter.
"As a freshman [at New Mexico Tech], Graham learned the art of glassblowing. It became a passionate hobby, his mother said, as he enjoyed creating shapes that challenged his professors to define them mathematically.
"As a young boy, Graham enjoyed the challenge and camaraderie of scouting, receiving his Arrow of Light as a Cub Scout. He was an avid mountain biker, spending several summers working with kids at mountain biking camps. He also worked as a bicycle technician and interned for LGM Models learning how to build architectural models.
"He loved snowboarding, hiking, skateboarding and camping with his brother Hunter and his friends. He played guitar and drums in a garage band, 'Mixed Messages.' …
"Working beside his father Pat, Graham helped build a cabin near Leadville where the family enjoys spending time together. He was always a powerful role model for his younger brother Hunter.
"Hunter always knew how much Graham loved him, and speaks frequently about how much he learned from his older brother," his mother Becky said.
In addition to his parents and brother, he is survived by grandparents, Arlene and Bennie Royal of Independence, Mo., and Martha and Herbert Bultemeier of Sunrise Beach, Mo.

In 2.13.1 on pp118/119 I don't find the text clear enough to require exactly one of the non-if clauses plus optional if clause. The syntax makes it clear that at least one clause must be specified, but I don't see any wording that would make it clear that
#pragma omp cancel if (1)
is invalid. Can the wording be improved for the final version?

Like a Peyton Manning-led offense, the NFL is constantly in motion.
Tweaks here, wholesale alterations there … the league is never quite the same from year to year.
A look at some of the changes for the 2015 season:
New rules
The NFL tinkers with its rules virtually every off-season. Some adjustments are more obvious than others, including a particularly noticeable change to the kicking game this fall.
The extra-point attempt will now be snapped from the 15-yard line, slightly ramping up the degree of difficulty for what has become a "gimme" play. Two-point conversions will remain at the two-yard line. Defenses will be allowed to...
