I have blogged before on the utility of the Java Collections class and have specifically blogged on Using Collections Methods emptyList(), emptyMap(), and emptySet(). In this post, I look at the sometimes subtle but significant differences between using the relevant fields of the
Collections class for accessing an empty collection versus using the relevant methods of the
Collections class for accessing an empty collection.
The following code demonstrates accessing
Collections's fields directly to specify empty collections.
/** * Instantiate my collections with empty versions using Collections fields. * This will result in javac compiler warnings stating "warning: [unchecked] * unchecked conversion". */ public void instantiateWithEmptyCollectionsFieldsAssigment() { this.stringsList = Collections.EMPTY_LIST; this.stringsSet = Collections.EMPTY_SET; this.stringsMap = Collections.EMPTY_MAP; }
The code above compiles with javac, but leads to the warning message (generated by NetBeans and Ant in this case):
-do-compile: [javac] Compiling 1 source file to C:\java\examples\typesafeEmptyCollections\build\classes [javac] Note: C:\java\examples\typesafeEmptyCollections\src\dustin\examples\Main.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations. [javac] Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.
Specifying -Xlint:unchecked as an argument to
javac (in this case via the
javac.compilerargs=-Xlint:unchecked in the NetBeans
project.properties file) helps get more specific warning messages for the earlier listed code:
[javac] Compiling 1 source file to C:\java\examples\typesafeEmptyCollections\build\classes [javac] C:\java\examples\typesafeEmptyCollections\src\dustin\examples\Main.java:27: warning: [unchecked] unchecked conversion [javac] this.stringsList = Collections.EMPTY_LIST; [javac] ^ [javac] required: List<String> [javac] found: List [javac] C:\java\examples\typesafeEmptyCollections\src\dustin\examples\Main.java:28: warning: [unchecked] unchecked conversion [javac] this.stringsSet = Collections.EMPTY_SET; [javac] ^ [javac] required: Set<String> [javac] found: Set [javac] C:\java\examples\typesafeEmptyCollections\src\dustin\examples\Main.java:29: warning: [unchecked] unchecked conversion [javac] this.stringsMap = Collections.EMPTY_MAP; [javac] ^ [javac] required: Map<String,String> [javac] found: Map
NetBeans will also show these warnings if the appropriate hint box is checked in its options. The next three images demonstrate ensuring that the appropriate hint is set to see these warnings in NetBeans and provides an example of how NetBeans presents the code shown above with warnings.
Fortunately, it is easy to take advantage of the utility of the
Collections class and access empty collections in a typesafe manner that won't lead to these
javac warnings and corresponding NetBeans hints. That approach is to use
Collections's methods rather than its fields. This is demonstrated in the next simple code listing.
/** * Instantiate my collections with empty versions using Collections methods. * This will avoid the javac compiler warnings alluding to "unchecked conversion". */ public void instantiateWithEmptyCollectionsMethodsTypeInferred() { this.stringsList = Collections.emptyList(); this.stringsSet = Collections.emptySet(); this.stringsMap = Collections.emptyMap(); }
The above code will compile without warning and no NetBeans hints will be shown either. The Javadoc documentation for each field of the
Collections class does not address why these warnings occur for the fields, but the documentation for each of the like-named methods does discuss this. Specifically, the documentation for Collections.emptyList(), Collections.emptySet(), and Collections.emptyMap() each state, "(Unlike this method, the field does not provide type safety.)"
Use of the
Collections methods for empty collections shown in the last code listing provided type safety without the need to explicitly specify the types stored within that collection because type was inferred by use of the
Collections methods in assignments to known and already declared instance attributes with explicitly specified element types. When type cannot be inferred, compiler errors will result when using the
Collections methods without an explicitly specified type. This is shown in the next screen snapshot of attempting to do this in NetBeans.
The specific compiler error message is:
[javac] C:\java\examples\typesafeEmptyCollections\src\dustin\examples\Main.java:62: error: method populateList in class Main cannot be applied to given types; [javac] populateList(Collections.emptyList()); [javac] ^ [javac] required: List<String> [javac] found: List<Object> [javac] reason: actual argument List<Object> cannot be converted to List<String> by method invocation conversion [javac] C:\java\examples\typesafeEmptyCollections\src\dustin\examples\Main.java:63: error: method populateSet in class Main cannot be applied to given types; [javac] populateSet(Collections.emptySet()); [javac] ^ [javac] required: Set<String> [javac] found: Set<Object> [javac] reason: actual argument Set<Object> cannot be converted to Set<String> by method invocation conversion [javac] C:\java\examples\typesafeEmptyCollections\src\dustin\examples\Main.java:64: error: method populateMap in class Main cannot be applied to given types; [javac] populateMap(Collections.emptyMap()); [javac] ^ [javac] required: Map<String,String> [javac] found: Map<Object,Object> [javac] reason: actual argument Map<Object,Object> cannot be converted to Map<String,String> by method invocation conversion [javac] 3 errors
These compiler errors are avoided and type safety is achieved by explicitly specifying the types of the collections' elements in the code. This is shown in the next code listing.Explicitly Specifying Element Types with Collections's Empty Methods
/** * Pass empty collections to another method for processing and specify those * empty methods using Collections methods. This will result in javac compiler * ERRORS unless the type is explicitly specified. */ public void instantiateWithEmptyCollectionsMethodsTypeSpecified() { populateList(Collections.<String>emptyList()); populateSet(Collections.<String>emptySet()); populateMap(Collections.<String, String>emptyMap()); }
Collections class's methods for obtaining empty collections are preferable to use of
Collections's similarly named fields for that same purpose because of the type safety the methods provide. This allows greater leveraging of Java's static type system, a key theme of books such as Effective Java. A nice side effect is the removal of cluttering warnings and marked NetBeans hints, but the more important result is better, safer code.

text: Sometimes it's a little better to travel than to arrive. (Robert Pirsig) Travel - movement in any territory or waters for the purpose of their study, as well as educational, informative, sporting and other purposes. Until the XIX century travel was a major source of information about other countries (their nature, population, history, economy), the general nature and contours of the earth's surface. From ancient times have survived describing travels of Herodotus, scientists, accompanied by Alexander of Macedon in his campaigns. A classic example of travel of the Middle Ages - the wanderings of Marco Polo. Travel for religious purposes (for the worship of relics, visits to holy places) in the Middle Ages was called the "pilgrimage". Age of Discovery is characterized by many journeys, radically changed the idea of the planet. Since the mid XX century, due to the rapid development of tourism, the term "travel" used to signify any visits in some way independently from a tourist company. Travelers are now calling people involved in independent, often adventurous, trips (for example, T. Heyerdahl, A. Sienkiewicz, I. Ganzelka, M. Zikmund, F. Grooms, V. Shanin). Traveling with fundamental rejection of the services of travel agency called backpacking. Modern travel is the subject of numerous TV shows, documentaries and soap operas.

Aid Watch blog ends; New work on development begins
Today, after two years and four months, we end the experiment that was the Aid Watch blog. We think the experiment was a success. We've had a great time blogging here. Thank you all for reading and writing back, and to our wonderful guest bloggers, for helping to make Aid Watch a source for way-outside-the-Beltway commentary on aid. Your response continues to exceed our expectations.
Some of you may be surprised. This was not a sudden decision; we have been talking it over with a few others for some time now.
The simple reason for ending the blog is that we want to free up our own time for writing longer and more substantive pieces, both academic and non-academic, on development.
The blog is a hungry mouth that always wants to be fed, and the longer projects we'd like to take on don't fit in with those constraints.
Economists are professionally trained to be wary of diminishing returns to any one activity, and to be entrepreneurial about starting new activities. Although we'll still write about aid, we plan to move away from aid criticism as our main focus, and put more emphasis on the high-stakes development debates going on now. We still believe that more aid will reach the poor the more people are watching aid, but, as we've always known, there's a lot more to development than aid.
Fortunately for us all, there are many other good blogs on aid and development that have sprung up since we started Aid Watch, from smart establishment blogs like Development Impact at the World Bank, to lonely aid workers blogging from Malawi (check the sidebar for our recommendations).
The blog will stay at its current web address, and all the archives will remain available and searchable. Check for updates on our work at the DRI web site.
Signing off for now,
Bill and Laura

100th patent in three years: The result of a successful patent strategy
New inventions and the resulting patents are the basis for Maquet's future as a leading medical technology company. These inventions help to enter new markets, to optimize the production processes or to generate synergy effects.
Incentive System
Just three years ago, Dr. Dieter Engel, VP Research & Development at Maquet, introduced a new patent strategy: an incentive system, linked to regular discussions amongst R&D staff and external patent experts.
Inventions for patents often occur within the framework of specific development and research projects on which, usually, multiple members of staff are working. Structured talks with staff allow the company to find out what they are currently working on and whether there may be resulting "inventions" that can be patented.
Impressive Results
One of these inventions is the TRIMANO support arm. In late 2010, discovery activities searched for new ways to support human extremities, particularly arms. By increasing the load-bearing capability without compromising the functionality of the design, TRIMANO proved particularly efficient for shoulder operations, opening new markets for Maquet. The patent describes the special version of the TRIMANO joints. This enables TRIMANO to be locked and released, in any position, without the use of external power — even with higher weight loads. For the surgeon, this enables a variety of assisting and holding functions, which in turn save time, personnel and money. The versatile TRIMANO system offers unparalleled performance, which strengthens Maquet's market position.
The incentive program quickly showed success: Within three years, the number of patent registrations increased. "We have already exceeded our goal with one patent per million Euro R&D investment in both 2013 and 2014," explains Dr. Engel.

Saxtons River youth with rare disease shoots first buck
DUMMERSTON -- Austin Leclaire, his father and some family friends sat patiently near the access road of a power line on a recent Saturday, and waited.
And waited.
Then at 8 a.m., after an hour and a half, they saw it -- a beautiful 8-point, 158-pound buck walking along, unaware of the hunting party a short distance away. Austin, of Saxtons River, aimed his 30-6 Springfield, pulled the trigger and killed the deer on the land his family has hunted for more than 30 years.
It was a cause for celebration -- Austin's first buck (an 8-pointer) was quite an accomplishment and victory for a young man stricken with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
The 13-year-old started hunting with his family a couple of years ago despite the physical limitations of his ailment and plans to continue for as long as possible. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare disease that limits mobility and causes muscle deterioration. Austin, whose younger brother Max also suffers from the disorder, was diagnosed at 3 years old and has been confined to a wheelchair since he was 10.
Austin's dad, Craig McNary, said he holds the end of the gun while Austin aims and fires.
Austin said he'll remember the shot for the rest of his life and looks forward to more.
"I was pretty excited because it was my first deer," he said, adding that he also hunts turkeys.
Though simple tasks are becoming increasingly more difficult, he said he loves hunting with his family.
"I like to go out into the woods with my all-terrain (wheel)chair," he told the Reformer.
McNary said it was a proud day all around.
"I've shot a lot of deer and I have never been so excited," he said. "I think I was shaking more than he was."
McNary said his Austin's condition is getting worse while Max is one of 12 children throughout the country participating in a clinical trial testing the effects of a drug that can reverse the symptoms of DMD.
Eteplirsen, the drug created by Sarepta Therapeutics, helps Max's body create dystrophin, a protein he lacks because of Duchennes, and alters his genetic code, replacing the missing chromosome, to provide structural stability in his muscle tissue. He qualified to get weekly treatment at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
McNary worries Austin won't be physically able to pick up a gun by this time next year and, even if he can, it will be more difficult for him to shoot. He said the average life expectancy of someone with Duchenne muscular dystrophy is late teens to early 20s.
"We do everything we can for him," McNary said, adding that Austin is driven up to Burlington every week to play on a wheelchair soccer team called the Vermont Chargers. "That's why (shooting the buck) was so special to him."
He said trying to get the drug for Austin has been a battle but the drug companies are being as supportive as they can be. He said he has started a letter to be sent to the Food and Drug Administration and is asking for signatures.
Kelly Price, a Vermont Fish and Wildlife game warden, said Saturday was a big deal for Austin and his family.
"This rare genetic disorder has kept him in a wheel chair most of his life. However, it has not crushed his spirit or desire to experience all the world has to offer," Price said in an e-mail to the Reformer.
The family has also started a website, www.dmdhero.com, to help raise awareness for the cause and offer information about the disease.
Jenn McNary said she and her husband are now hoping to support Sarepta in its quest for accelerated approval of the drug Eteplirsen at the FDA later this year. The letter to the FDA can be found on the homepage of dmdhero.com.
"This is the fastest way that Austin and other boys will get the drug that they so desperately need," she said.

Sevierville Lawyer Named TBA Vice President
Wyrick in line to lead group in 2013
NASHVILLE, July 14, 2011 — Sevierville lawyer Cynthia Richardson Wyrick took office as the Tennessee Bar Association's vice president at the association's annual convention in Chattanooga. The move puts her in line to assume the presidency in June 2013.
During her time in office, Wyrick hopes the encourage more citizens to run for public office, increase professionalism in the practice of law, and provide greater support for lawyers who open solo practices.
Wyrick earned her law degree from the University of Tennessee College of Law in 1994. She began her career as a judicial clerk for Tennessee Court of Appeals Judge Houston M. Goddard, serving with him from 1993-1994, and then with Judge Gary R. Wade, then on the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals, from 1994-1996. She joined the Sevierville law firm of Ogle, Gass & Richardson PC in 1996 and was named a member of the firm in 2000. She practices in the areas of wrongful death, workers' compensation, personal injury, medical malpractice, wills and estates, and adoption, custody and child support. She also is an experienced trial advocate and a Rule 31 listed mediator for civil and family law matters.
As a member of the Tennessee Bar Association, Wyrick has served in a number of capacities: as president of the Young Lawyers Division (2004-2005); member of the TBA's Leadership Law 2005-2006 class; chair of the Public Education Committee (2005-2006); chair of the General Practice, Solo and Small Firm Section (2006-2008); chair of the Programs Committee (2008-2011); and member of the Board of Governors (2003-2005 and 2008-current). In recognition of her leadership, Wyrick received the TBA President's Award in 2006.
Wyrick also has held leadership positions with a number of legal organizations in the state. From 2001 to 2003, she served on the Tennessee Bar Foundation's Grant Review Committee. Since 2006, she has served as a member of the Tennessee Justice Center Board of Directors, and was chair from 2010-2011. She also is a fellow of the Tennessee Bar Foundation and the Tennessee Bar Association Young Lawyers Division. On the national level, Wyrick served in the American Bar Association (ABA) House of Delegates from 1993-1994 and again from 2004-2006. She has been very active in the ABA's Tort Trial and Insurance Practice Section, serving as vice chair of the Medicine and Law Committee (2008-current), chair of the Law In Public Service Committee (2006-2007) and fellow in the section's leadership program (2003-2005). In addition, her contributions to the practice of law were recognized by the ABA General Practice, Solo & Small Firm Section with its Small Firm Practitioner of Merit Award in 2005. Wyrick also is a fellow of the American Bar Foundation and the ABA Young Lawyers Division, senior counsel for the American College of Barristers and member of the American and Tennessee Association for Justice.
Finally, Wyrick is active in her local community. She is a member of the Sevier County Bar Association, graduate of the 2009 Leadership Sevier Class, and member of the University of Tennessee Library Friends Executive Committee (chair 2003-2005, member 1994-1997 and 2000-2006, and member emeritus (2005-current).

Watchu talkin' 'bout press?
Former child star Gary Coleman was arrested over the weekend on a warrant for failing to appear in court, not for a new domestic violence offence as many media outlets initially reported, cops say.
The 41-year-old "Diff'rent Strokes" actor was released from a Utah jail Monday after posting $1,725 bail, The Associated Press reported.
Santaquin Police Chief Dennis Howard told the AP that cops were dispatched to Coleman's home Sunday afternoon on a domestic disturbance call.
But the actor was booked on an outstanding warrant that stemmed from a Aug. 26, 2009 domestic violence charge, Santaquin City Attorney Brett Rich said. Coleman is expected to next appear in court on Feb. 8, Rich added.
"This is a lot less serious than it seems," Coleman's lawyer Randy Kester told People. "He was not arrested for assault."
Still, Coleman has publicly struggled with problems in his personal life over the last couple of years.
Last year, his wife, Shannon Price reportedly locked Coleman out of his home and was arrested herself for domestic violence.
"You deserve this after how you treated me!" she yelled at the time after ransacking the house, the New York Daily News reported.
Later, the couple appeared on "Divorce Court" but decided not to call their relationship quits.
Also in 2009, Coleman pleaded no contest to hitting a man with his car outside a Utah bowling alley and paid a $100 fine, according to the AP. He also reportedly settled a personal injury civil suit over the incident for an undisclosed payout.

CEST has 4 GC stations to separate complex mixtures of volatile organic molecules in the gas phase. These GCs feature injection techniques such as split, splitless, and cool on-column and are equipped with the following detectors: flame ionization, electron capture, thermal conductivity and mass spectrometers. GC columns are available for a wide range of applications.
Flame Ionization Detector (FID): a good, general purpose detector for a wide variety of hydrocarbon compounds providing a wide linear dynamic range (ppm to ppb).
Electron Capture Detector (ECD): extremely sensitive for more electronegative molecules like halogenated compounds (pesticides for example).
Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD): another general purpose detector but works best for the analysis of permanent gases (usually ppm detection limit).
Mass spectrometer detectors (MS): the Center has both quadrupole mass filter and quadrupole ion trap mass analyzers with electron ionization (EI) and chemical ionization (CI) sources. Both designs are very sensitive and in some cases can detect in the PPT range.
Quadrupole mass filters: rapid scanning (millisecond) analyzers with unit resolving power, nominal mass accuracy, and a mass range between 1 - 800 Daltons.
Quadrupole ion trap: rapid scanning (millisecond) analyzers with unit resolving power, nominal mass accuracy, and a mass range between 50 - 800 Daltons. Ions can be accumulated in the trap for improved mass spectral quality and for subsequent MS/MS experiments to help elucidate structure.

Swimming Pool Blog
by Myles McMorrow, April 8, 2009
There are many types of pool covers on the market and each has a different purpose for your pool. There are year round and seasonal covers as well as covers that help heat the pool and stop evaporation. Some are safer than others. I always recommend the safety covers because of their strength - most can hold the weight of a car, so you never have to worry about kids being around them. Let's take a look at the different types of winter covers and how they stack up against each other.
When a mesh covered pool is winterized the water level is lowered 18 inches from the cover. The mesh material will allow water to pass through it, keeping the cover free of water while slowly replacing the water removed. The cover can support thousands of pounds on it making these the safest type of pool covers on the market, and a necessity in northern areas with a heavy snow load. Common name brands are Loop-Loc, Meyco, Cantar and Rayner. Long lasting and durable, mesh safety covers can easily last over 10 years before the sun breaks down the fabric.
Mesh safety covers offer the most attractive option as well. All manufacturers can custom make a cover to fit every curve and cove of your pool shape.
Solid non-safety pool covers
The above ground solid pool covers are held in place with a tension cable with a crank winch that tightens a cable under the top rails of the pool holding the cover secure. Additional holding power can be achieved using cover clips, which clip the pool cover to the top rail of the pool. Some pool owners (probably in Woodbridge) use recycled milk jugs, half filled with gravel. Hang these on the cable to keep the pool cover tight.

We are a coalition of former friends and co-workers of Ann Coulter who are upset by her vicious anti-gay, anti-muslim, anti-feminist rhetoric and feel the truth should be told. Our organization, Strap-On Veterans For Truth, is dedicated to exposing the true past of America's number one hatemonger.
Ms. Coulter today, with vestigal Adam's apple clearly visible.
Ann Coulter is actually a former drag queen from Key West named Pudenda Shenanigans. Ms. Shenanigans was famous for her renditions of "Dude Looks Like a Lady" "I will Survive" and "You Shook Me All Night Long" as well as an extensive Barbra Streisand repertoire. We who used to work with her are concerned for her as well as upset by the vile hatred she has spewed towards her former friends in the gay community. We feel that by bringing the truth to light perhaps Ann will come to grips with her past and change her wicked ways.
As Pudenda Shenanigans, she was well known on the drag circuit in Key West. Whether she actually had a full sex change or not is a matter of debate, although her adam's apple is still visible in photos, under the appropriate light. We who laughed, cried, worked and danced with her feel her story should be told. We are not out to punish her, but feel it's time she owned up to what she really is.
The person known today as Ann Coulter was born Jeremy Levinsohn in the village in New York in 1960. His parents were typical latte-drinking liberals, religiously conservative, but socially and politically radical. His father taught Russian Literature at CUNY and his mother was a social worker. His childhood friend Rodger Mihalot described him, "The Levinsohns were nice people, but his father was distant, so Jeremy seemed to seek a strong male figure in his life. Although they were Jewish, he often hung out at our church, and really seemed to spend a lot of time with Fr. Donatella Nowunn. I also think he was really looking to rebel against his overly liberal parents. Otherwise he was a typical kid, he liked to play cowboy, sailor and gladiator a lot. His favorite movie was always The Sheik, he really seemed to have a fascination with Arabs, I don't know why."
Ms. Coulter, a.k.a. Pudenda Shenanigans, in an undated photo taken in Key West.
In the 70's Jeremy went to Brandeis, where he majored in Sociology, with a minor in comparative religions. His lifelong fascination with Muslims really seemed to take root at Brandeis. But college roommate Ima Gaiboyye described an unhappy man, "He was never really interested in women, but did go see the theater company's production of "The Wizard of Oz" 10 times, I thought he liked the girl who played the lead, he really talked about her outfit a lot. After college Jeremy just dropped off the face of the earth, we never heard from him again."
Jeremy drifted for awhile before finding himself in Key West. Co-worker Licky Dickenstein described these early years, "Jeremy was a natural, I never saw anyone take to drag so quickly. Once he found his persona, he was Pudenda Shenanigans. For most of us drag was a part time thing, but Pudenda was 24-7, always in character, always in costume. She really shook things up, she was a goddess on stage."
Ms. Shenanigans and companion in New Orleans during Mardi Gras, 1987.
Former boss Phil Yoras recalled those heady days, "Pudenda was really popular with all the celebrities who came in. She really worked the Republicans. Dennis Hastert, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Dick Cheney, they all used to sit right up front for her shows. Arnold Schwarzenegger used to be her favorite, but once she dressed in lederhosen and tried to do "My Favorite Things" while sitting on his lap. That was the last time Arnold came in. Of course he left holding a plate in front of his pants, I don't know why."
By 1985 Ms Shenanigans was dating a Lebanese businessman, Ustahav Toubohls and the two were believed to be deliriously happy. Friends report Pudenda always had a fetish for Muslims and was considering a marriage proposal. But then she opened up the New York Times one day and saw a picture of Mr. Toubohls with a famous actress in New York. Former friend Gaivit Tuhym described the result, "Pudenda was devastated, she couldn't stand seeing her Toubohls with another woman. She cried and cried, 'I miss my Toubohls, I want my Toubohls back!' I don't think she ever forgave him, the New York Times, or Muslims in general."
After that Ms. Shenanigans disappeared for years, only resurfacing in the 90's as Ann Coulter. Her hatred for Muslims, gays and feminists is odd for her former coworkers. Long Dick Gone, a former co-worker stated, "At first I thought there was something funny about this Ann Coulter. I mean here's a woman who claims to hate feminists, but is in her 40's, single, no kids, is very opinionated and outspoken and concentrates on her career. Ann Coulter is the biggest example of a feminist I ever saw. Then I noticed that in just the right light you could see that adam's apple and that's when I recognized our little Pudenda Shenanigans, the hottest drag queen this side of Fire Island."
Once they realized who Ann Coulter was, Strap-On Veterans For Truth was formed. Ann's former friends and co-workers realized that her intense hatred of gays, feminists and Muslims was really self-loathing and continuing hurt from the loss of her beloved Toubohls. Although we know she's been through a lot, we feel hurt by her turning against everything she used to hold dear. We love you Ann, or Pudenda, or Jeremy. We respect whatever lifestyle of gender you choose. We just want you to be true to yourself and please stop the hatred. Come back to us and share the love of your friends and community again.
Strap-On Veterans for Truth is a proud partner of The Hoolinet.
This is a satirical website. No right-wing nutjobs were harmed during production. Our apologies to drag queens everywhere.

Going retro
PITTSBURGH — You'll have to excuse my lack of bloggage yesterday. That was quite the hectic day for this weary scribe — nothing sleeping in couldn't cure this morning, though.
My day yesterday began at 4:45 a.m. in Milwaukee. I'm on a strict schedule for that whole marathon training program I'm doing and I had to log 5 miles yesterday. That meant heading out at 5 for a jaunt along Lake Michigan before heading to the airport.
Two flights later — thanks Continental! — I was in Pittsburgh and at my hotel around 12:30, about the time the news landed that the Blue Jays had fired John Gibbons and brought back Cito Gaston and a few of his handpicked coaches. Add 12 innings and an ace pitcher getting hit in the face with the liner and, well, I was beat.
Gibbons handled his dismissal with grace, offering nothing but thanks to the Jays and GM J.P. Ricciardi for giving him the chance to manage. The only part that bothered Gibby — a fellow American who will be missed — was that three other coaches (Ernie Whitt, Marty Pevey and Gary Denbo) also were shown the door.
"That's the toughest part of it all," said Gibbons, who received the news Friday morning in Pittsburgh. "If it just effects me, that's one thing, but when other coaches are involved — that's their livelihoods. That's what bothers me."
Know that Gibby never lost that clubhouse. The players in that clubhouse were Gibbons fans, but simply lost too many games to this point, underachieving in light of lofty expectations, and costing Gibby his job in the process. A move had to be made as a statement that the season to this point has been unacceptable.
I'll admit that it seemed a bit odd to bring back Gaston and some members from the Jays' staff from the 1990s. I was going over possible replacements earlier this week and considered Gaston's chances, but didn't think the club would go that route. Well, I thought wrong, and it'll be interesting to see how this all pans out.
In his first game as the new-old skipper, Gaston watched the same ol' Blue Jays: great pitching, no hitting. Toronto dropped a 1-0 game in 12 innings in Pitt and Gaston admitted to making "some mistakes out there." One, perhaps being a little rusty after 11 years between managerial stints, came when Gaston brought Jason Frasor into the game in the 12th.
"I walked off the mound tonight to give the umpire the name of the pitcher," he explained. "Once you walk off you can't go back. He walked away from me and I walked off to tell him and I couldn't go back. So when Frasor came in, I couldn't even tell him anything, so I just tossed the ball to [Wilkerson] and he gave him the ball. That's a mistake on my part right there."
As for Roy Halladay, who took a line drive off the side of his face and left after seven inning, he was deemed day-to-day and expected to make his next start. Still, as a precaution, he was off to have an X-ray after the game. So, we'll learn more tomorrow. After what's been going on with Aaron Hill (out indefinitely due to post-concussion syndrome), the Jays aren't taking any chances.
2 Comments
Why would Gaston accept being the manager? He is known in Toronto as a solid manager and the guy that won 2 titles. Will this tarnish his reputation? I thought the Jays would hire within the staff, either Whitt or Butterfield. This is a losing situation for Gaston, I guess he is taking one for the team or the organization.
I think the issue with the Jays is at the top. As gsumner said, it starts with hiring a baseball guy and overlook everything. I don't know who that guy could be but that would be a great start. I think Godfrey and J.P. need to go elsewhere. J.P.'s comments about Adam Dunn were very dumb and made no sense. Why even say it? What is the gain? I think J.P. needs to think before he speaks.
Iam hoping that guys is Epstein. He is on the FA next year and woudl be a great addition to TO.

Q: What can I do now to get my pond ready for the Winter? – Linda of Kentucky
A: Get Your Pond Ready for the Winter Months
As our warm summer months come to an end; I receive many questions regarding "pond winterizing". Winterizing your pond is an important step to ensure a safe and healthy start-up next Spring. Here are a couple easy tips you can use this fall to help you on your way.
1. General Clean Up Tips: Set aside a few hours to do some picking up around your pond. Clean the inlets or outlets of any debris that may have fallen in and rake out sticks or brush that may have fallen into the pond. If debris are left in the pond to decompose, they will contribute to the build up of nutrients and muck. Adding Pond Dye PLUS 2 in 1 Natural Bacteria with Pond Dye is a great way to help to reduce the nutrient load and muck levels in the pond as well as shading your pond a beautiful blue color. Keep applying Pond Dye PLUS until the water temperature drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. A Final Pond Treatment: Treat any remaining algae or pondweeds using Algae Defense® or Ultra PondWeed Defense® respectively one more time before winter. This will make for a much cleaner pond in the Spring. You will also want to use these last few months to get a handle on emergent weeds such as cattails, lilies or grasses; Shoreline Defense® & Treatment Booster™ PLUS Combo is perfect for this. When vegetation naturally dies off under the icecap – oxygen is depleted from the water column and remember that this will only contribute to a winter fish kill.
Just doing these basic tips will help ensure a cleaner, healthier pond in the Spring.

People call my office all day long looking for help with consumer problems. That's what I get for having a website which offers to help consumers with their problems. One thing I have noticed is that the same problems pop up over and over again. So, I did this week's podcast on the 5 Most Common Consumer Complaints I hear.
And I know that there are some who can't listen to a whole podcast (or watch the accompanying video) and will wonder, "Pray tell, What are the most common complaints you hear?!"
I could refuse to tell you here but I am a nice guy after all. They concern: Used cars, New Cars, Other big ticket items, that Non-existent right to return something within 3 days and Auto Repairs. So, in the podcast I explain what those problems are and what the short answer is to the problem.
And I will tell you this (in case you haven't figured it out yet): It is not my primary goal that you call me after these things have happened to you. I am hoping that you will hear my
lecture podcast and avoid getting ripped off in the first place. It is always easier to save your money than it is to sue someone to try and get it back.
With that in mind, here is the podcast:
And, here is the video:
And, this is pretty cool. This past week the podcast crossed the 50,000 listens threshold. That is as if every living soul in Battle Creek, Michigan, tuned in for a listen. Imagine the power I wield!

Our Transfer Switches
Mark's company exceeded my expectations of cost, quality, and customer service. After meeting with six companies that installed whole house generators from different manufacturers as well as Generac, I was convinced that Moriarty Electric Co. was the one to go with. The owner Mark was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of power generation and electrical distribution systems. He made several additional visits to my home to answer my questions and provided me recommendations for my project that other companies had not addressed. Mark was extremely personable, patient and very detailed as we went over the project a number of times. Mark provided me a quote with wording "Cost not to exceed" and we actually came in under budget! In my research to select a generator and installer I discovered there are a lot of dealers that sell Generac generators, however not everyone goes the extra distance to have their staff trained for comprehensive servicing. Moriarty Electric Co is a "Certified Generac Service Dealer" and their technicians are trained and recertified by Generac to provide diagnostics, maintenance, and repair of Generac generators. Moriarty Electric Co. is further recognized by Generac as an "Elite dealer" who provides superior levels of sales and service. During the installation Mark noticed several National Electrical Code violations by work previously performed by others and made recommendations to bring them up to code at no additional charge. His technicians were always on time, extremely polite, experienced and kept the job site clean. Whenever I called his office Mark's office manager Karen helped me resolve any questions that I had. There were no surprises and all work was performed in a timely manner. Overall the company exceeded my expectations of cost, quality and customer service. I would highly recommend Mark and his team to provide their services for any electrical project! Bill in York, ME

Latest News
Barack Obama is not Muslim - would it matter if he were?
Barack Obama is not a Muslim. We know this because he has told us so.
We know it because there is no credible evidence to suggest otherwise.
We know it despite a campaign of lies and whispers from various bloggers, pundits and head cases.
Barack Obama is not a Muslim. But, what if he were? Same guy, same charisma, same inspirational idealism. But also a Muslim. Not a crazy Muslim. Not a guy prone to strapping bombs to his chest in hopes of meeting virgins in heaven. A Kareem Abdul-Jabbar-type Muslim. A Dave Chappelle, Ahmad Rashad, Shaquille O'Neal-type Muslim. A guy you like and admire who just happened to be, you know ... Muslim.
Would it matter? Should it? The question bears answering because of the creepy, are-you-now-or- have-you-ever-been attitude toward Islam that seems to be seeping into public dialogue lately. As in that campaign of lies and whispers that keeps showing up in my inbox -- claims that Obama won't salute the flag, took his oath of office on a Koran, belongs to a terrorist cell and other assorted idiocy.
NBC News anchor Brian Williams apparently has been getting the same e-mails. In moderating a recent Democratic debate, he asked Obama about rumors "that you are trying to hide the fact that you're a Muslim ..."
The senator laughed a heard-that-a-few-times-before laugh. Then he replied that he is a Christian, that he is a victim of Internet rumor, and that he trusts the American people to "sort out the lies from the truth."
What bothered me is that, by its phrasing, Williams' question presupposed there is something wrong with being a Muslim. And Obama's answer left the presupposition unaddressed.
What if he were a Muslim? What then? A 2007 Pew Research Center survey found that 43 percent of us have a favorable opinion of Muslims (make it Muslim-Americans and the number rises to 53 percent). Which might sound not so bad, except when you compare it to favorable ratings of other religious groups. Jews, for instance, are at 76 percent. Even evangelical Christians manage 60. And that ranking for Muslims represents a 5-point drop since 2004.
It's no mystery why the nation's opinion of Muslims is becoming less favorable. In a word, terrorism. And frankly, Americans are right to fear Muslim fanatics who embrace violence as a means of getting what they want.
But see, the key word there is not Muslim. It's fanatic. Yet some of us still think Muslim is the brand name for crazy. Me, I think the only difference between religious fanatics here and in the Middle East is that Middle Eastern nations tend to be theocratic (i.e., the word of the holy book has the force of law) and to be intolerant -- sometimes, violently so -- of dissent. So no one dares tell them no.
But if Pat Robertson, to name an American Christian fanatic not quite at random, had the force of law behind him and the ability to silence those who disagree, don't you think he would be as scary as the scariest ayatollah in Iran? I do. That's why I never would want him to be president. Which is not quite the same as saying I'd never want a Christian to be president. I just prefer my presidents -- regardless of their religion -- reasonable. And sane. That seems a fair standard.
Yet it's a standard some of us now discard. The ongoing whisper campaign against Barack Obama, against his very American-ness, is a shameful appeal to ignorance and fear. Against that, I offer a simple statement the world's most famous and well-loved follower of Islam made just after the Sept. 11 attacks.
"I am a Muslim," said Muhammad Ali. "I am an American."
That says it all. Or at least, it should.

Larry Jack Mildren, known to Sooner fans everywhere as the "Godfather of the Wishbone" passed away May 22, 2008 in Oklahoma City after a two year battle with stomach cancer. For a brief biography of Jack see
Jack Mildren had the distinction of being my mother's second favorite OU football player. He achieved that lofty status by virtue of being a good "Abilene boy." Mom was a 1937 graduate of Abilene High School. She didn't let a little thing like Jack being from Abilene Cooper stop her. He was second only to Joe Wylie, another Sooner that OU got from Texas. Joe got the top spot because he was a good "Baptist boy."
We loved him on the football field. We loved him as Lieutenant Governor. We loved him on sports talk. He will be missed.

Equal Pay for Women? Sure. After You Retire.
By Carole Fleck , September 30, 2013 03:24 PM
Most of us now working will be long retired before equal pay for men and women is a common practice.
In 2058 - yep, 45 years from now - the gap in paychecks is expected to cease between men and women employed in the same occupations. That's according to projections from the Institute for Women's Policy Research, a think tank in Washington.
If you're feeling a little impatient, ladies, here's why. For the last five years or so, when you thought progress might be made given all the attention the issue received from President Obama and other leaders, women continued to earn about 77 percent of what a man in a comparable job earned.
It's worse for minority women. In 2012 the median annual earnings of Hispanic women were $28,424, just 54 percent of the median annual earnings of white men.
The Paycheck Fairness Act, which would close this income disparity, failed to get approved by Congress last year. In January, it was introduced again by Democratic Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland. Don't hold your breath, though. It has a 1 percent chance of getting passed, according to a website that tracks legislation.
So how much have things changed? In 1960, when many of today's midcareer workers were born, women in the workplace earned about 60 cents for every dollar a man earned, the institute said. The wage gap got slightly worse in the mid-60s and mid-70s before it began to narrow slowly but steadily.
The rising number of women with college and advanced degrees helped narrow the gap yet women still need a doctoral degree to earn the same as a man with a bachelor's degree. And a man with a high-school education makes about the same amount as a woman with a bachelor's degree, according to Center for American Progress, a public policy organization.
Some states are worse than others when it comes to unequal paychecks. Wyoming is among the widest of gender pay gaps, with women earning about 64 cents to a man's dollar. Louisiana, West Virginia, Utah and Alabama were also depressing. The biggest reason: access to education is harder to come by, Forbes reported.
Women seemed to earn a bit closer to what a man did in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachussetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, the article said.

AMHS Seminar (5 days)
3250 EUR incl. VAT *)
Please contact us if you are interested.
*) Price includes our ATN/AMHS Directory Book in printed and electronic form. Please ask for a special price in case of more participants from your organisation.
AMHS Seminar in Markdorf
Germany – Lake Constance Area
On the way to AMHS
At present, there are many initiatives and activities aiming at a rapid implementation and operation of the ATS Message Handling System (AMHS). At the level of ICAO Regions working groups are tasked with the development of guide-lines for and the coordination of implementations. Particular work items are the development of common communication profiles, recommendations for conformance, interoperability and pre-operational testing, and the provision of so-called "common facilities" in support of a reliable overall communication service. Regional AMHS workshops are conducted for coordination between States and information exchange with manufacturers. In addition, activities are underway aiming at the harmonisation of the inter-regional AMHS communication.
Need for training
The AMHS technical specification (ICAO Doc 9880) are written as "delta specification" to the ISO/IEC 10021 standard series (MHS). Doc 9880 specifies in detail the AMHS specific provisions, however, the adopted MHS elements are only identified by references. That means, sufficient understanding of the AMHS communication needs study of the AMHS technical specification and as well as of the underlying quite voluminous MHS specifications. In consideration of this situation, regional AMHS implementation groups identified the urgent need of appropriate training for technical and operational staff.
AC-B's AMHS seminar
The 5-day Seminar offered by AC‑B provides a comprehensive technical survey of the AMHS. In contrast to other available seminars, the course materials have been developed from and with an AMHS perspective, taking the underlying ISO/IEC MHS standard series into consideration as far as needed. The AFTN/AMHS Gateway is handled in detail from an operations- and design-viewpoint. The most recent update of the AMHS technical specification (ICAO Doc 9880) and the provisions of the EUR AMHS Profile are taken into account. – Live-Demonstrations of AMHS centre functions in a conformance test environment supplement classroom training.
Who should attend?
The contents of the Seminar address system engineers tasked with the specification and commission of AMHS facilities; and the operators of such facilities. Implementers and staff involved in the testing are provided with detailed materials which will facilitate the reading of the AMHS technical specification and the underlying ISO/IEC MHS standard series. The Seminar is also suitable for refreshing and expanding knowledge gained from other (introductory) seminars.

Submitted by Sabin on
Late last week, the GAVI Alliance board announced its plan to fund the introduction of vaccines to fight HPV and rubella in developing countries. GAVI's decision to fund the roll-out of these vaccines has the potential to protect up to two million women and girls from cervical cancer and 558 million children from rubella by 2015.
HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection and causes approximately 275,000 cervical cancer deaths each year. As a result of limited access to screening and treatment, 88% of these deaths occur in developing countries.
Rubella, also known as the German measles, is another debilitating disease infecting low-income nations. If contracted by a woman early in her pregnancy, rubella infections can lead to congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). CRS causes severe growth and mental retardation, deafness and other developmental problems in fetuses. Nearly 100,000 cases of CRS occur each year in developing countries alone, representing 80% of the global burden.
GAVI's funding announcement marks an important step in expanding access to these underutilized vaccines. Sabin has been active in advocating for these two diseases for years. Currently, Sabin is working throughout Asia, Africa and Europe to increase awareness about the burden of Rubella and CRS. In 2007, Sabin joined forces with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to conduct acomprehensive study of HPV epidemiological data.
Advocacy activities and the generation of evidenced-based research are crucial to changing perceptions, creating demand and influencing policies and budgeting decisions. The HPV and Rubella vaccines represent a cost-effective method for preventing disease and Sabin is working to ensure these life-saving technologies are made available to those who need them most.
You can find further coverage of the GAVI announcement at NPR and theGuardian.
