Cloud computing is grabbing headlines as more and more enterprises are turning to this emerging technology as a way to enable flexible computing power over the Internet. In 2008, many companies were wary of the risks and vulnerabilities of participating in the cloud computing model, and although the buzz was high, adoption was feathered.
"This all changes in 2009," said Sajai Krishnan, CEO of cloud storage start-up ParaScale. "The economic downturn and the addition of private cloud solutions to complement public offerings are creating an environment that enables incremental adoption of cloud storage on a very broad scale."
In discussions with end users, ParaScale has found that the overwhelming majority indicate they are considering both public and private cloud storage.
Storage Clouds are Attractive for Many Companies
Krishnan identifies several considerations driving the adoption of storage clouds. These include:
- Building storage clouds is becoming as simple as installing a new application on your laptop. This is enabling service providers and the enterprise to embrace this technology with minimal effort.
- Cloud storage can start small and scale-up as needed. Organizations are no longer over-building to address the potential for rapid growth. Instead the drive is to put in place an architecture that is extremely flexible and that can scale on demand using commodity hardware and standard client access.
- Clouds are designed to be self-managing and don't require heavy IT manpower. Storage tiering, provisioning, and data movement are time-consuming tasks that are automated in cloud storage.
- Storage clouds can be tuned for specific uses or applications. For example, clouds can be tuned for archival very cost-effectively, or for streaming media performance.
"Cloud applications, computing, and storage are just emerging on the scene, yet there is a rapid heightening of interest in all things cloud," said Krishnan. "We believe the impact of cloud technologies will be transformational and cloud will be a major way by which IT is consumed as we move forward. Whether a company decides to buy (i.e. the company builds a private or internal cloud) or rent (i.e. the company rents by the GB per month from a public cloud storage service provider) cloud storage, or both, its advantages will soon be as main-stream as the architectures that came before it, including 3-tier web applications, client/server, and mainframe."

Spent today at Loch of the Lowes and Dunkeld in Perthshire. It was a bit of a trek involving three buses, but worth the travelling time and changing of buses.
I travelled by Scottish Citylink, passing through the cities of Glasgow, Stirling Dunblane and Perth to arrive at Birnam, near Dunkeld. The bus does not stop at Dunkeld so Birnam was the nearest one. Fortunately, it was only about 1.5 miles from Dunkeld, so well within walking distance.
For those familiar with Shakespeare's MacBeth this is the same Birnam as mentioned there.
"Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be until Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill Shall come against him."
Dunkeld Cathedral
It was a pleasant walk to Dunkeld and I stopped at the Co-op for some chocolate. When I came out of the shop I saw a sign for Dunkeld Cathedral, so stopped to have a look at it. It is still being used as a place of worship by the Church of Scotland.
Dunkeld was proclaimed the first eccelesiastical capital of Scotland by King Kenneth MacAlpin, Scotland's first King.
After the Protestant Reformation in the 1500's, the leader of the Reformation in Scotland, John Knox demanded that Dunkeld Cathedral be stripped of all ornamentation and statues relating to Catholicism. Unfortunately, the Cathedral was badly damaged in the process and was further destroyed at the Battle of Dunkeld in 1689.
Part of the Cathedral was rebuild and this is the part which is used for worship today.
Loch of the Lowes
After walking round the Cathedral I proceeded to find the footpath to the Scottish Wildlife Trust's (SWT) Loch of the Lowes nature reserve. It is a 2.5 mile walk, mainly uphill but not too strenuous for a reasonably fit person. It took about 25 minutes to walk to the reserve as I kept stopping to admire the scenery.
The Reserve has an excellent visitor centre run by the SWT which has a good indoor viewing area and two hides over-looking the Loch. Refreshments are also sold at reasonable prices and many animal-themed goods such as soft toys, bird food and environmentally friendly cleaning materials.
At present, a pair of Ospreys have built a nest overlooking the Loch. The female bird is now in her 22nd year at the reserve which is pretty good considering Ospreys only live for 10-15 years.
While I was there, she was sitting on the nest while her partner was out catching fish for her. He flew back to the nest twice while I was there bringing her food.
There is also a webcam of the nest which allows people to keep updated on the progress of the birds. Pictures from the webcam can be seen here.
Red Squirrel
The Loch had some Mallards, Mute Swans, Crested Grebes, Tufted Ducks and Reed Bunting.
I went back to the visitor centre to view the birds at the feeders and saw some Red Squirrels, a female Great Spotted Woodpecker, male and female Pheasant, Mallards, Chaffinches and a Yellowhammer.
The Red Squirrel numbers are in serious decline and it is an endangered species in the UK. Grey Squirrels were introduced into the UK from America by the Victorians and carry a virus called squirrelpox which kills Red Squirrels, but leaves the grey ones unaffected.
The Red Squirrels were very entertaining and kept all the visitors amused. Similarly the Yellowhammer caused a great deal of excitement as most people had never see one before.
At 16.00 I made my way back to Birnam along the path I had taken earlier. It was a bit late to visit the Beatrix Potter Museum but I did get to see her gardens. Beatrix Potter, creator of Peter Rabbit, spent many holidays in Birnam as a child. It was in the Perth countryside she got to know nature which enabled her to write stories about it.
The bus arrived outside the Birnam Hotel on schedule to take me on the long journey home. Another enjoyable day.

THE WisdomTree BLOG
Part one of our European index rebalance articles highlighted an investment case for our Eurozone Quality Dividend Growth and Europe Small Cap Dividend strategies. In part two we now explore the valuation, style and country/sector opportunities for WisdomTree's Equity Income and Export-Tilted strategies.
Once a year, WisdomTree conducts a rebalance of its dividend-weighted stock indices which adjusts positions based on changes in relative valuations. We measure these relative valuations by examining stock price movements versus fundamentals in international markets. The primary variable we are utilising in our broad-based index strategies is a company's Dividend Stream®.
One topic we often find exploring with investment professionals is the role of currency risk in international portfolios. We believe the industry has a branding problem with currency-hedged strategies; this is a legacy issue that may never be fixed for the industry, so education is critically important. The branding issue goes to the heart of what should be the default choice for international investments, in our view.

Internet access is an essential need on par with education access, but at what point do regulators recognize that? When will government officials acknowledge that widespread, guaranteed access is essential to fostering growth in the country? Somewhat surprisingly, that time is now, as the Federal Communications Commission is now calling for nationwide free wi-fi networks to be opened up to the public.
The FCC proposes buying back spectrum from TV stations that would allow for what the Washington Post is dubbing "super wi-fi," as the commission wants to cover the country with wide-ranging, highly penetrative networks. Essentially, you can imagine the proposal as covering a majority of the country with open-access data networks, similar to cell networks now, that your car, tablet, or even phone could connect to. That means no one is ever disconnected, and some folks—especially light users and the poor—could likely ditch regular internet and cell plans altogether.
As you might expect, telecom providers, equipment manufacturers, and even firms heavily invested in the cell-phone market aren't interested in shaking up the current model that's incredibly lucrative for them.

I can finally announce it: I got another book deal! I am stoked to get a chance to write what I hope will become the definitive cookbook for both domestic and wild ducks and geese. But I need your help to do it.
First the details: I will be working with Ten Speed Press, which is awesome; they are just down the road in Berkeley so I can actually meet with them in person. It will be a full-on cookbook, heavy on technique, with roughly 80-90 recipes and plenty of stories, lore and color photos.
I am especially happy about the photos, for two reasons. One, the single most consistent criticism of my first book, Hunt, Gather, Cook: Finding the Forgotten Feast, was that the photographs were in black and white. And two, Holly gets to shoot the cookbook. Finally a fitting stage for her awesome photography!
The book is scheduled for release in autumn 2013, a little more than a year from now. That means I am on a very tight deadline to write the book. And that's why I am hoping you all can help get me off to a running start.
Here's how you can help: Tell me what techniques or recipes (or other information) you really want to see in this book.
How to cut up a duck? How to make Peking duck? Techniques on smoking geese? That sort of thing. Tell me what you want to see in the comments section below.
My hope is that this book will be as useful to novice cooks as it will be to professional chefs, and I plan on recipes ranging from dead easy to, well, cheffy. I also hope that this book will help push forward something I am already starting to notice: Duck is getting hot right now in the restaurant world, and I want to bring that excitement into the home kitchen.
It's going to be a wild ride over the next couple months, and who knows how it will go. But one thing I do know: We're going to be eating a lot of duck around here…

Heavenly Serbia: From Myth to Genocide
Hurst, 1999 - 233 страници
Heavenly Serbia traces Serbia's expansionist impulses to Serbian national mythology. The dominant myth - that of "Heavenly Serbia" - appeared soon after the Battle of Kosovo in 1389. It attributed the Serb's defeat by the Turks and the loss of the medieval Serbian state to the Serb's preference for moral salvation over military victory. By emphasizing their commitment to the heavenly kingdom and promising an eventual restoration of the Serbian empire, this myth helped the Serbs to bear their centuries-long domination by a foreign power. Though they ultimately shed the Turkish yoke and regained statehood in the nineteenth century, the Serbs, according to Anzulovic, retained this central myth in the form of feelings of superiority to their neighbors, and a sense of destiny ordaining them to become the dominant power in the Balkans. The myth has been perpetuated by political and religious leaders, historians, novelists, and artists, and has found acceptance abroad as well.

For every Romeo, there is a Juliet. For every Othello, a Desdemona. For every Cleopatra, an Antony.
And for every Lear, there is a Fool.
King Lear, William Shakespeare's tragedy based on the legendary King of the Britons, is noted as one of the bard's greatest works. The Vortex Theatre's version of the play takes place against the backdrop of World War II. King Lear (Paul Ford) is weary, ready to shed his kingly duties to his three daughters: Goneril (Lori Stewart), Regan (Meghan Bode) and Cordelia (Amelia Teicher). Lear asks his daughters to profess their unwavering devotion and offers a portion of his kingdom in return. His eldest daughters, Goneril and Regan, shower their father with embellished endearments, salivating over the bit of map representing their new estates. But his youngest (and most favored) daughter, Cordelia, will not compliment Lear with words beyond her true feelings, telling the king she loves him no more or less than any daughter should.
Infuriated by Cordelia's unwillingness to comply, Lear hands over the third piece of land to Cordelia's sisters and decries all attachment—paternal and royal—to his youngest child. Cordelia sorrowfully leaves with her suitor, the King of France (Joshua Narcisso), and the seeds of Lear's self-inflicted insanity are sewn.
Free of his responsibilities but not his title, Lear enjoys life with his Fool (Alan Ware) and a merry band of knights and loyal servants. But his oldest daughters want their father to act more his age and less kingly—keeping the power for themselves. Feeling betrayed and half-witted, Lear falls into madness and the rest of the world soon follows suit.
King Lear is not an easy play to produce, but it can be a rewarding one. Director David Richard Jones—whose impressive theatrical résumé includes founding the Vortex Theatre, serving as its artistic director from 1976-78 and teaching Shakespeare, drama and 20th- and 21st-century literature at UNM—knew the challenge in choosing this play. Given the cast he selected to fill it, it's easy to see why he settled on Lear.
King Lear is a powerful role, one that could define an actor's career. Lear is vain and venerable, wise and clueless, stoic and stark-raving mad. With so many variables, there are infinite ways to portray Lear on the stage, and some equations turn out better than others. Jones must've had Paul Ford in mind when he proposed Lear to the Vortex, as his performance is the triumphant keystone of the production. Ford's delivery of Shakespeare is like watching a child recite his favorite nursery rhyme—with ease and excitement, the words taking shape in how they are served. The nuances of language are not lost to Ford, and his love of each poetic line is apparent throughout the entire play.
While Ford is clearly the star of Lear, the rest of the cast is far from superficial. The Earl of Gloucester, portrayed by Charles Fisher, is a crucial character connecting the main story line (Lear and his daughters) with the subplot (Gloucester's bastard son's desperate grab at power, with tragic results). Fisher captures the noble if sometimes misguided Gloucester skillfully and gives one of the best performances in the cast. Also noteworthy are John Wylie for his Bostonian-inspired Caius (the banished Earl of Kent incognito) and John Byrom as Gloucester's son, Edgar, especially when disguised as the likable lunatic Tom O'Bedlam.
A few other performances are stiff and hard to digest. Teicher captures Cordelia's emotions but channels the tension straight to her hands, causing a distracting effect. Jeff Andersen embodies the conniving bastard son of Gloucester, Edmund, to the point of melodrama. But the overall quality of the acting is above par.
And then there's the Fool. Played by former Barnum and Bailey Circus clown Alan Ware, Lear is most himself when the Fool is near. As Lear is a role coveted by actors, so is the role of his Fool, and Ware's background in mime and ability to engage a crowd made him a standout presence whenever on stage. The tension and admiration shared between Ware's Fool and Ford's Lear does justice to the timeless characters. The moments the two share are on their own worth the price of admission.

To use short-hand description for The Hundred In the Hands is to give the impression of them being oh-so-passe; oh great another Brookyln-based boy/girl disco-duo. Sort of ten-a-penny these days aren't they? In fact I reviewed one here just a few weeks ago. Well, let first impressions fool you not. I've already twice made this mistake with THITH. The first time was with debut single 'Dressed In Dresden'. 'No song released in 2009 that starts with angular stabs so reminiscent of 'Banquet' could actually be any good', I thought. I was wrong. The dirty bass throbs, cavernous toms, explosive snares, clicky claves/handclaps and all manner of synth sounds made for a more than satisfying barrage of danceable pop. Vocalist Eleanor Everdell's fine balance of nonchalance and impassioned pleading, meanwhile, was more than just the icing on the cake.
The second time I made this mistake was upon my first listen to 'Building In L.O.V.E', the opening track of the This Desert EP. 'Oh no, not another 'Standing In the Way of Control'-style bassline paired with a hi-hat shuffle'. Idiot. Only in dreams could The Gossip hope to achieve the beauty 'Building In L.O.V.E.' arrives at when the stuttering synth strings and Everdell's aching vocals reach a melodic crescendo together in an ethereal swirl. It's wonderfully affecting stuff, regardless of the bizarreness of lines such as "luxury housing development is falling in love" and the song ends only too quickly and suddenly amidst Jason Friedman's skyscraping guitars, which are reminiscent of those other Brooklynites, The National. Not that THITH need to borrow ideas to forge music of majestic quality.
The EP takes rather a symmetrical form, the first and last tracks of the six being the most dancefloor friendly, the second and fifth the most playful and the middle two the moodiest. EP closer 'It's Only Everything' features Everdell's most extroverted vocal performance, yet after the hollering of the intro the verses succeed in creating a gorgeous blissed out soundscape of whispered vocals and synth washes and alternates between the two passages until they converge for the outro.
THITH stated that this EP was partly 'summertime-gothic'. 'Ghosts' is the only gloomy-ish track on the EP; conveying its gloom through a less-is-more approach, it revolves around repetition of a simple bass figure and beat with intermittent repetition of a descending guitar line, recalling the melodrama of The Cure's 'Love Song' in the process. 'Sleepwalkers' is drenched in the sort aqueous reverb that characterised that song's parent album Disintegration and despite its danceability it is in fact the most organic/rock song on the EP, with mellifluous guitars shimmering and chiming in from all angles. When it seems that THITH might be taking themselves a little too serious there's 'Into In It', their own take on uber-twee electro pop. Everdell's repetition of the songtitle is possessed of the same persuasive allure as Lindstrom collaborator Christabelle, but there's an air of innocence pervading the song. Proof of the range of influences THITH weave into their sound.
The most inventive track is undoubtedly 'Tom Tom'. For a large part of its duration consisting only of synthetic slap-happy percussion and a needling synth lead, the song really takes a turn for the interesting with the burly thrumming sound of an almost atonal arpeggiated synth-bass. The late addition of a low humming synth melody brings a good dose of melancholy to the proceedings as Everdell laments "Could have stayed by you for days, I would forget the world for you." The whole track suddenly dissipates in a bewitching choir of "ooh"-ing vocals which you don't want to end, but that's the one trick that THITH repeat most effectively: leaving you wanting more. With a long player on the way This Desert is a perfect teaser/taster for that album, but more importantly an absolute pleasure in its own right.

Tuesday night's win in the presidential contest for President Obama was a win for ObamaCare, the president's signature legislation from his first term. ObamaCare will now continue to be implemented.
This future means that we will continue to be faced with rising insurance premiums, as our current insurance expands to cover all patients regardless of pre-existing condition, age, or how many times they've already used the policy.
Insurance will continue to follow a one-size-fits all model, where it is easy to overuse but may not cover our latest expensive technology which offer more personalized solutions.
Federal regulations in the form of Medicare's Independent Payment Advisory Board as well as ObamaCare's many other committees will restrict my choices for my patients. I will have more patients with more red tape and less time to spend with them.
Since ObamaCare does not effectively address the doctor shortage, you will see more nurse practitioners and physicians assistants, who are quite competent, but have different training than I have treating patients.
My patients who gain a new insurance card may find that it doesn't buy them the care they were expecting.
Medical care will be shifted more and more to the hospital and medical center, which are more equipped to preserve their bottom line profits despite increasing federal regulations.
Accountable Care Organizations under the Affordable Care Act will focus more on quality of care as opposed to fee for service, which large groups and medical centers are more equipped to implement.
Doctors will cherry-pick their patients, staying away from those who are too sick to allow them to apply for financial incentives.
ObamaCare can only afford to extend health insurance entitlements to more people through increased taxes or penalties (payroll tax for Medicare, individual and business mandates, tax on medical devices, etc.).
If the current economic climate continues, small businesses will be reluctant to add more employees and large businesses will prefer to pay the ObamaCare penalty than pay the increasing premiums.
More and more people will get their health insurances at the state exchanges, where taxes pay for federal stipends in states which have created their own exchanges.
There will be a disparity of services provided depending on your state. Medicaid expansion offered to 16 million more people will also vary depending on whether your state can afford to implement it or not. Medicaid lacks sufficient providers or networks to provide care, and the expansion makes this problem far worse.
President Obama's victory on election night is not a victory for health care, though it may be a narrow one for health insurance companies who gain more customers.
Prices will continue to rise and access to actual care will decline in an already overcrowded system.
Biotech companies and drug companies may feel that the climate is no longer ripe for innovation.
Hospitals and other health care providers will continue to struggle amid shrinking reimbursements.
Bottom line: my patients who gain a new insurance card may find that it doesn't buy them the care they were expecting.

Who was/is Sly & The Family Stone ? - CDs, Vinyl LPs, DVD and more
Inez & Charlie Foxx
(1-2-3-4-5-6-7) Count The Days
Sly & The Family Stone
Dance To The Music
(Sylvester Stewart)
Epic 10256
Here's where rock and soul and funk and psychedelia all fused together in one cataclysmic explosion, inexorably altering the future of R&B in the process.
Sly Stone—or Sylvester Stewart, as he was born March 15, 1944 in Dallas—had distinguished himself on the Bay Area music scene while still in his teens. He recorded 45s with The Stewart Brothers, The Viscaynes, and as both Danny and Sylvester Stewart before delving heavily into studio work for KYA deejays/concert promoters Bob Mitchell and Tom Donahue's fledgling Autumn Records. There Sly produced Bobby Freeman's brassy 1964 dance smash C'mon And Swim and The Beau Brummels' '65 hits Laugh, Laugh and Just A Little, finding time to making a few singles of his own (I Just Learned How To Swim and the two-parters Buttermilk and Temptation Walk).
Sly & The Family Stone came together in late 1966, not long after Autumn ceased operations. It was a merger of two previous groups, The Stoners and Freddie & The Stone Souls, neither of whom ever made it into a studio. The new lineup
consisted of Sly on keyboards and guitar, his brother Freddie on guitar and their sister Rose on keys, string-popping bassist Larry Graham, drummer Gregg Errico, trumpeter Cynthia Robinson, and saxist Jerry Martini.
Sly did the lion's share of the lead singing, but the liberating vocal interplay between everyone but Cynthia and Gregg meant that the rest shared essential mic time. Epic Records exec David Kapralik caught their freewheeling act and was so knocked out that he not only brought them aboard Epic, he signed on as their manager. The group didn't fit into any conceivable niche, and their aptly titled '67 debut LP 'A Whole New Thing' slipped right through the cracks, major label association or not.
Sly and his Family would have to create their own niche, and that's precisely what they did with the throbbing rocker Dance To The Music. A brisk, bright horn riff and an acappella singalong at the top offer an irresistible invitation to head straight for the dance floor, and several members of the group introduce themselves with a hot lick and a line or two (organist Sly harks back to Mustang Sally for his "Ride, Sally, ride" mention).
Dubbed 'psychedelic soul,' the extremely innovative hybrid that Sly & The Family Stone brewed up had no direct precedent. But this interracial group would soon have a whole lot of followers.

Vitamin D – A Magic Bullet to Enhance Health?
There is a notable increase in the scientific and popular press regarding the role of vitamin D in health and wellness. Experts have noted widespread vitamin D deficiency, linking the deficiency to serious physical and mental health conditions, potentially compromising health and safety. For example, osteomalacia, resulting from Vitamin D deficiency, causes weak muscles and bones, increasing the risk for falls and, perhaps, even fractures.
Selected Health Conditions Associated With Vitamin D Deficiency. Cardiovascular disease (hypertension, MI), diabetes (impaired insulin/glucose tolerance) and depression pose increased riskto overall health, wellness, mortality Long-term osteoporosis (increased bone fracture risk) Weak bones and muscles (fall risk)
Sources of Vitamin D: Sunshine, Food and Supplements. We understand that the best source of Vitamin D is sunlight. Only a few natural foods contain Vitamin D, some foods are fortified, and it is also available as a supplement, however; experts disagree on the recommended dosage.
Vitamin D, nicknamed the "sunshine" vitamin because the nutrient needs the sun?s UVB rays to penetrate the skin to physically activate it. But natural aging changes in the skin results in less production of Vitamin D and using sunblock to help prevent burns and for skin cancer protection results in even fewer opportunities for older adults to naturally produce Vitamin D. In addition, those living in areas with less sunshine overall or who do not routinely have exposure to 15-20 minutes of sunshine experience a lower level of Vitamin D.
Dietary Intake of Vitamin D. Because so few foods contain Vitamin D, it is a challenge to obtain the recommended daily value (DV) set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The foods that provide at least 20% of the daily DV for Vitamin D are salmon, tuna, mackerel and fish [cod] liver oil (>300-100%) DV.9 However, professionals working with older adults understand that as a result of poor dietary habits often due to illness, financial constraints, or other factors, it may be challenging for some older adults to meet the daily DV requirements through diet alone.
Supplemental Vitamin D. Vitamin D supplements are gaining widespread popularity among nutrition and aging experts who are currently recommending much higher doses than the current standard daily intake for older adults (400-600 IUs.) There is some evidence suggesting that taking supplemental Vitamin D, at the upper level recommended (2000 IU/day) by the Institute of Medicine could result in enhanced health protection for older adults against Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency, reducing risks for developing or exacerbating certain life threatening or debilitating conditions.10 However, there is great disagreement among experts and scientists about whether Vitamin D is the "magic bullet" or panacea for what ails us. In addition, there is inconsistent data on what comprises the ideal dosage for specific age groups.
Despite the disagreement about specifics, there is cautious optimism about the health benefits of supplemental Vitamin D and the experts seek the definitive scientific evidence to support preventive and protective dosages. During the summer of 2010, the Institute of Medicine is expected to report their latest dosage recommendations. In the meantime, we encourage advising older adults to be cautious about Vitamin D supplementation and counsel them to consult their primary health provider for recommendations regarding their specific Vitamin D needs. Always, better safe than sorry!

The agile revolution that began in software development in the 1990s has been inexorably making its way into mainstream IT organizations. Today, one of the most adopted agile practices is unit testing, where developers write hundreds of small tests for exercising their own code. Although the benefits of unit testing are widely recognized, there's growing evidence that unit testing might have reached its high-water mark and be entering a period of stagnation or even decline.
Signs that unit testing has hit a wall include the high-profile collapse of Agitar, which was known widely for a good, if expensive unit-testing product. CEO Jerry Rudisin told the SD Times that Agitar's collapse (it was bought by McCabe Software in June was due simply to the fact that "unit testing hasn't taken off as a mainstream practice." Joe Ponczak, who heads up Condign Software, the makers of automated unit test generation tools and metrics dashboards, says he believes the Agitar failure was brought on by slower-than-desired growth, "not at the level expected from a Silicon Valley startup."
Andrew Glover, president of the agile-development consulting firm Stelligent, blamed Agitar's high price. "Only very large enterprises could afford it. And it was hard to justify paying those prices for a product that simply automated what developers could already do for themselves with free tools," he says.
Why unit testing may be losing its allure
Of course, Agitar is just one company, and its experience is hard to translate as an overall trend -- especially because the major tools used in unit testing are available as free open source, such as JUnit and TestNG for Java and the xUnit frameworks for other languages, as well as the free code-coverage tools Cobertura and Emma. Most of the commercial products focus on automatic generation of unit tests and coverage analysis.
But consider the typical experience of Stelligent's Glover when he consults on development approaches with clients: "When I go into sites, I would love to turn them on to the benefits of the TestNG test framework," he says, "but most organizations do so little unit testing, if any, that I stick with the simple, well-known xUnit tools, so as not to create confusion. Most organizations are just not ready to learn anything more than basic unit testing -- if that."
While languages such as Python and Ruby have active unit-testing cultures, there are signs that, in the Java community at least, resistance has built up against the unit testing idea. I posted the question on unit testing's future in my blog recently, and got several hundred responses. Among those, I identified two major threads of concerns.
One issue is that unit testing seems to offer little value. "The problem with unit testing is that it increases the cost of development before you know whether what you developed is what you needed. Afterwards when you have a working solution, there's little interest in writing unit tests as what you have works, and your management wants you to move on," wrPeterB.ote one anonymous poster. "Many developers and managers mistakenly think that by cutting testing, they well get feature X out faster. What they don't realize is that you are robbing Peter to pay Paul," wrote Peter B.
The other issue was annoyance over evangelism, which is at the core of much of the agile movement (which began with a signed manifesto and a formulated creed). "Please, please, please, no more evangelism!!" wrote Gabriel C. A segment of the agile development community has adopted unit testing in a radical way, insisting that tests be written before the code.
This approach, called test-driven development, is intended to clarify design before committing to code. Its proponents have been zealous in promoting test-driven development as the best way to program, but for many developers that evangelism has become so overbearing that it makes unit testing as a whole unappealing.
Why you should give unit testing a second look
Unfortunately, these reasons conspire to obscure the benefits of unit testing, so it is frequently rejected at sites in favor of traditional testing, rather than being viewed as an important adjunct to it. That's a mistake. Unit testing has four significant benefits that, in my experience, all organizations that adopt it recognize almost immediately: Defects are identified nearly immediately, and because unit testing isolates their cause and effect, they are also resolved more quickly. As a result, you can be more confident in the schedule. You also get better code-level documentation.
But the first and principal result of unit testing is better code. In the traditional manner of development, code is written and quickly checked by the developer against a narrow set of criteria. Once it works, the developer moves on to other coding. Whether that routine works later on is a question that the developer faces only when examining the larger software package or during the testing cycle. At that point, the developer might easily spend hours with a debugger figuring out why the routine is unexpectedly balking.
These long debug sessions are terribly expensive to projects on several levels. As there is no method for predicting how long it will take to locate and resolve a bug, nor what effects that bug fix will have, there is no way to accurately project schedules.
Compare this to the unit testing approach in which the writing and constant running of tests immediately identifies a routine that is not working. Because of this immediacy, the developer can be essentially certain that the most recent change is the cause of a newly discovered defect. Thus, cause and effect are tightly mapped, and the code can be fixed immediately, without long hours in the debugger trying to find the fault. Moreover, when a bug is fixed, the developer can run the entire set of unit tests to make sure no other routines are now failing due to the previous fix.
Another result of unit testing is increased confidence in the code. Under traditional testing, with each extensive debugging session, confidence in the code tends to diminish. After several such sessions, the manager has no real way of knowing whether the major bugs have been found, nor how many more debugging sessions are in store. So the final result is delivered with the hope, rather than the conviction, that it works correctly.
Unit testing ensures that defects are resolved as coding progresses, making the project schedule easier to gauge, and allowing you to more accurately project completion dates. And because unit tests capture how the developer expects a given unit to be used -- as well as what untoward data or events it might encounter that need to be accounted for -- you get better documentation.
Because the primary tools for unit testing are free and opensource, the initial costs for trying and adopting unit testing are low. In addition, unit testing can be used with any form of development philosophy, so adoption is nondisruptive.
How to view the costs of unit testing
For all of its benefits, unit testing does have costs.
The first cost is that it takes time and skill to write good unit tests. The skill is quickly learned if the organization buys into the concept. But the time spent is a harder sell, because managers often equate time spent on testing with time stolen from writing code. They forget about all the debug time that is later spent, time that unit testing would reduce by placing that work up front, when the testing is easier and the effort to fix the code is less.
A second cost is that for unit testing to really deliver, all developers need to use it. And that requires upfront training and management participation, at least to start. Unit testing still delivers benefits to developers in isolation, of course, but the ability to see what is changed in the larger project due to a change in a specific routine is lost.
A third cost is that when a software base changes in an important way, the unit tests must be discarded or substantially rewritten. In other words, the innate cost of making large-scale changes to a code base increases if unit tests are part of the mix. But it's easy to overstate this cost. After all, large changes in the middle of the coding phase should not occur often. And when they do, if any of the old code in the changed components is reused, the associated unit tests still provide value.
Most organizations that see past these concerns and actually try unit testing usually find the return is well worth the cost, and typically expand their unit testing efforts. Still, they have to get over that initial resistance. And that's why, Glover remarks, "Unit testing is likely to remain a niche solution, found at organizations that really understand its value and progressively adopted by sites that can no longer stand the long debug cycles."

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 16, No. 2 December 1989 Barry E. Cushing THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY A KUHNIAN INTERPRETATION OF THE HISTORICAL EVOLUTION OF ACCOUNTING Abstract: Distinct parallels exist between the historical evolution of scientific disciplines, as explained in Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, and the historical evolution of the accounting discipline. These parallels become apparent when ac-counting's dominant paradigm is interpreted to be the double-entry bookkeeping model. Following this interpretation, the exten-sive articulation of the double-entry model over the past four centuries may be seen to closely resemble the "normal science" of Kuhn's theory. Further parallels become apparent when Kuhn's concept of the disciplinary crises that precede scientific revolutions is compared to developments in the accounting discipline over the past 25 years. This portrayal of accounting's evolution suggests an uncertain future for the accounting discipline. The purpose of this paper is to examine the historical evolution of the accounting discipline from the perspective of Thomas Kuhn's classic, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions [1970a]. Kuhn's book offers profound insights into the evolution of scientific disciplines, and therefore may help us to better understand past and present trends in the accounting discipline. This paper cites many aspects of the historical evolution of accounting which may be interpreted in ways that are consis-tent with a detailed examination of Kuhn's theory. This exercise in historical interpretation offers a new and interesting perspec-tive on the history of the accounting discipline, and is also suggestive of some alternative ways in which accounting might evolve in the future. The historical evolution of scientific disciplines has been addressed by a number of philosophers in addition to Kuhn, including Lakatos [1970] and Feyerabend [1975]. This is not an appropriate forum for addressing the question of which of these I wish to express my appreciation for helpful comments by seminar participants at Case Western Reserve University, Columbia University, McMas-ter University, Ohio State University, Penn State University, and the University of Utah. The specific comments of Haim Falk, Gary Previts, Bob Sterling, and Steve Zeff were particularly helpful.

Garry's Chase Truck
Here's the story of Garry Pardini's '52 Chevy told in his own words. "This particular 1952 1/2 ton was sold brand-new by Chase Chevrolet to Stephens Marine in Stockton, California. After it served its time as a parts truck, Stephens passed it down to an employee. From there it changed hands a couple of times between others in the company. I purchased the '52 Chevy in 1974. My inspiration to own a truck of this vintage came from a photograph of a '48 Chevy 1/2 ton my dad used as a delivery truck for his retail store called the Toy Box, located here in Stockton. It was a black and white image, but my dad told me it was dark green in color. The '52 was a driver when I got it. The chrome was dull, the body had small dents here and there and the paint was scratched and faded. The floorboards were rusted out from a leaky cowl vent and a missing drain tube. The bed wood was rotted out. The engine was the original 216-inch inline six. The transmission was a three-speed column shift. I ran across a roof visor off of a blue '54. My best friend who at the time had been taking some body shop classes at the local J.C. offered to paint the visor. He also wanted a shot at the dents on the driver door and fender. When it was time to paint we decided to include the roof and interior. I picked Seacrest Green from the original '52 color charts. The shade was quite a bit different from the faded avocado green. I ended up with a two-tone green truck.
In 1975 Joe and Don Pierano at Pierano's Garage advised me to swap the original 216 for a 235-inch engine. It's been a great engine over the years needing only oil changes and tune-ups.
In 1977 we decided to open a new Toy Box location. Lightning was sent to Joe Genecco's American Body Shop here in Stockton. His men cleaned up the body, repaired the grille, and sprayed the truck Seacrest Green. From the paint shop it went to Scott Bros. Sign Company for the new Toy Box logos on the doors and some original style pinstiping. Lightning was now the official Toy Box delivery truck. Not the original but good enough for locals who remembered the good old days to ask if it was the same truck. It spent the next many years delivering toys to good little girls and boys all over town. Along the way the paint got scratched and the body took on some dents.
In 1990 we shuttered the Toy Box and Lightning sat in the garage while I went on to become a car and truck salesman at none other than Chase Chevrolet where it all began. One of my perks from Chevrolet was a trip to Hot August Nights. While wandering the swap meet I spotted and purchased a pair of vintage '50's license plate frames from Chase Chevrolet. That jogged my memory about a time when when I was about 12 years old, my cousin took me to my uncle's long-out-of-business construction company office. He had passed before I was born and the property was being sold. My cousin told me to take anything I wanted. Upon looking in his desk drawer I spotted an unopened envelope from the California D.M.V. Inside was a pair of 1950's commercial plates. I took them home put them in my desk and almost forgot about them.
About the year 2000 with the advent of the PC, I started surfing the net. When I typed 1952 Chevrolet truck into the search engine it produced a number of interesting sites. One was Chevy Duty, now Classic Parts. I ran across replacement floorboards among a whole array of other cool parts that were available for Lightning. I went ahead and ordered the floorboards and various other replacement parts to restore the interior.
In 2006 I asked my friends Dan Votaw and John Portscheler in Lodi if they would install the floorboards and repaint the interior to the correct colors, maybe fix a few dents and blend the paint. Well, they had other ideas, one thing led to another and I found myself placing many more orders to Classic Parts. It took around a year for them to restore Lightning to a level I never imagined. Without John Portscheler this truck would not look anything like it does today. He deserves 99 percent of the credit. We tried to keep it as correct as possible. I again went with the Seacrest Green but decided to two-tone it with an original shade of beige. It was finished off with tomato-red pinstriping and of course the vintage licence plates and frames. After doing some research as to what type of wood was original I chose hard yellow pine for the bed. Frank Mauro at Stockton Wheel powdercoated the wheels and mounted the tires.
Lightning has been through many changes in my 33 years of ownership, but she looks and drives as good if not better than new."

WASHINGTON — Over the past two decades the UConn women have lost just 51 times. It was 50 before Notre Dame beat it to knock the Huskies from the top of the polls last week. You might remember that one.
Those 51 defeats have been caused by a variety of reasons and occurred on all types of stages.
But they all have one thing in common. None of them has been followed by another defeat.
This run, perhaps the truest sign of the program's consistency in the championship era, continued Wednesday when the No. 3 Huskies routed Georgetown 75-48 at the McDonough Arena.
The Huskies (13-1, 1-1) have now gone 707 games, dating to March 1993, without back-to-back defeats. They play at Marquette on Saturday, where the streak will extend again.
"I haven't really given that much thought," Auriemma said. "I am sure guys that keep stats for a living do. But I do get reminded of it every time we lose a game."
Kelly Faris led the Huskies with 15 points, five steals and four rebounds. Freshman Breanna Stewart had 12 points and 13 rebounds. She scored 10 straight points shortly before leaving the game in the final four minutes. Stefanie Dolson added 13 points and Bria Hartley had 12.
Sugar Rodgers led the Hoyas (10-5, 1-1) with 23 points. But she was 8 of 22 from the field.
The Huskies took a program-record 41 three-pointers. They made 14.
After losing to Notre Dame by one, the Huskies took two days to regroup before returning to practice on Tuesday.
Faris called Wednesday perhaps the most important day of the year because it would be a chance to recommit to the methods that carried the team to 12 straight wins.
But this wasn't easy, at least until a torrent of UConn three-pointers opened a 62-37 lead with 12:43 to play.
Rodgers told the Washington Post on Wednesday she wanted to beat UConn at least once before her career ends. And the Hoyas played with a lot of inspiration.
They packed a tight, committed zone that made it tough for the Huskies to get the ball inside. And once again, UConn's outside shooting almost wasn't good enough to compensate.
In the first half, UConn built a 38-23 lead despite making only 5 of 19 from three and authoring 14 turnovers. They ended with 19.
"We have got to take better care of the ball," Faris said. "We had way too many turnovers. And that killed us."
Four of the threes belonged to Faris. The remainder of the team was 1 of 14.
"What did I say at the half?" Auriemma said. "I told [them] that all those shots you've been missing … start making them. That was my big half-time speech."
What Auriemma didn't have Wednesday was a full complement of players. He thought he would have once sophomore Kiah Stokes was cleared to return after missing games with a stress reaction in her right leg.
But on Wednesday morning, the Huskies scratched Morgan Tuck, the freshman forward, who returned three games ago after dealing with a bruised right knee.
Still, UConn had more than enough personnel to deal with the Hoyas, who came into the game with a three-game winning streak.
Rodgers, the nation's leading scorer (26.1), also takes more shots than anyone in the country. So UConn knew who to look for when the ball was in Georgetown's hands.
Faris took this as a personal challenge after Notre Dame's Kayla McBride scored 21 on her clock on Saturday.
Rodgers did not score her first basket until the 10-minute mark of the first half, and by that time the Huskies were ahead 23-11. She ended the half in more customary fashion (11 points) but she was 4 of 11 in 19 minutes.
Faris was also the key to UConn's offense in the first half, making her first four shots, including three three-pointers. Her 11 points helped the Huskies open a 28-11 lead with 7:50 to play.
Faris' scoring was critical because Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis was benched for most of the half after three early fouls. Mosqueda-Lewis hit a three to make it 6-2 and did not score again for the remainder of a first half in which she played just four minutes.
And Hartley's struggles continued in the first half. She had two points, two fouls and three turnovers in the first 10 minutes. She made only one of her first eight shots before making a couple of quick threes in the second half to help UConn to a 55-35 lead.
"We were getting a little too far ahead of ourselves in the first half," Stewart said.
Until then, it was Moriah Jefferson [nine points, seven steals] who did the most to support Faris. The freshman gave the Huskies a spark with her ability to penetrate, her defense and her ability to make shots.
"She was the star of the game," Auriemma said.
WASHINGTON — Over the past two decades the UConn women have lost just 51 times. It was 50 before Notre Dame beat it to knock the Huskies from the top of the polls last week. You might remember that one.

Nettles also discusses the many school desegregation conflicts that plagued Alabamians into the 1970s. Though he believes that George Wallace's legacy would continue to send moderates into the Republican Party, Nettles also hopes that as Wallace becomes more active on the national political scene, incoming politicians will begin to reform Alabama's state programs. He ends by explaining how Watergate had affected the Republican Party in Alabama and the ways they were attempting to mitigate the resultant backlash. He maintains that voters respect and support someone who openly supports specific issues, asserting that honesty is more important than just about anything else.

May 26, 2004
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The Santa Clara University Department of Athletics and Recreation had 10 student-athletes earn Spring All-Academic honors from the West Coast Conference on Wednesday. The Broncos had 10 athletes represented on the six spring teams that were selected by the league office from many well-credentialed nominees.
Men's Tennis led the way with three honorees. Erich Chen is computer engineering major balancing a 3.40 GPA and made the team for the second straight year. Teammate Gernot Fischer boasts the same GPA in management, while Ben Hidalgo is averaging a 3.80 GPA as a graduate student in the Leavey School of Business.
Baseball and women's tennis followed with two representatives each. Anthony Rea repeated last year's recognition and Will Thompson joined him for this year's honor. They posted overall GPAs of 3.39 in economics and a 3.24 in political science, respectively. Janalle Kaloi (3.60 psychology) and Casey Knutson (3.70 sociology) earned the honor for the first time in each of their careers.
Like Rea and Chen, Justin Ahasic of men's golf (3.50 English) and Amanda Kremer of women's crew (3.23 liberal studies) repeated as 2003 honorees. Women's golfer Meggie Fagundes (3.07 business) also earned recognition.
During the fall seasons the Broncos had seven student-athletes selected to the All-Academic teams, bringing the total to 17 on the year. Additionally, student athletes at Santa Clara University graduate at the highest rate in the WCC and at the second-highest rate among all Division I institutions in California. SCU athletes also recorded the second-highest percentage graduation rate in California for the last decade, according to annual report released by the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

An online adaptation of
and the Terrible, Horrible,
Author Judith Viorst, in alliance with the nation's center for the performing arts, tackled a new challenge in taking her beloved characters from Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day from the page to stages across the country.
From the moment he wakes up with gum in his hair, things just do not go Alexander's way. At breakfast, Alexander's brothers Nick and Anthony reach into their cereal boxes and pull out amazing prizes, while all Alexander ends up with is . . . cereal. The situation does not get any better at school, in fact it gets worse. No wonder Alexander wants to move to Australia! In Australia, everything is upside down, so maybe a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day can become a wonderful, terrific, really good day. After school, Alexander encounters even more bad news when he visits the dentist and goes shopping for sneakers with his mother and brothers. And Alexander's father isn't at all happy with him when the boys visit his office and Alexander gets a little carried away with the new copying machine! This terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day is enough to make anyone want to go to Australia!
"I'm thrilled to have another opportunity to share Alexander with so many children. I hope that both young and old will learn and laugh together," said Viorst. "And, most of all, I hope they will have a wonderful, marvelous, fabulous, very good day."
"As the nation's center for the performing arts, it is the Kennedy Center's key priority to commission original productions like Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day to nurture the spirit and enhance the lives of children, parents and teachers," said former Kennedy Center President Lawrence J. Wilker (1991-2001).

A Continuing Education Program
Co-sponsored by the Women's Cancer Resource Center and The Wright Institute
The landscape of cancer and illness often leaves clients and their families feeling overwhelmed, uncertain and afraid. To support them, psychotherapists benefit from becoming more familiar with the emotional and logistical terrain as well as having more confidence in our own ability to negotiate that terrain. If we're already familiar with the issues facing our clients, we benefit from support, community and continued educational opportunities.
The Working with Cancer, Illness & End-of-Life Continuing Education Program explores a diverse range of issues that affect the well being of clients and their families living with life changing illnesses. Our goal is to enhance and increase our therapeutic competence, confidence and community.
Twenty-three courses are available online.
Completion of ten approved workshops qualifies the participant for the Cancer and Illness Trained Clinician Certificate. Click here for curriculum certificate requirements. Demonstrated competency through experience will be considered to fulfill the required courses and specific courses can be substituted for required courses (for example an oncology nurse will not be required to take Cancer 101 but will need to take another course in its place, totaling 10 courses). Please email experience substitution requests to .
These sessions are available to health care professionals and psychotherapists of all orientations, genders and all degrees. These courses each meet the qualifications for 4 hours of continuing education credit for:
- MFTs, LPCCs, LEPs, and/or LCSWs as required by CAMFT Recognized Continuing Education Provider #131805
- Nurses as required by the California Board of Nursing. Provider approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider #CEP16891
- Psychologists earn continuing education units for in-person courses only through The Wright Institute. The Wright Institute is approved by the American Psychological Association (APA) to offer continuing education for psychologists. The Wright Institute maintains responsibility for this program and its contents.
If you would like to purchase five courses (online or in-person) the cost is $300. Ten courses cost $600. Pre-licensed psychotherapists receive a discounted price of $40. To purchase one of these packages or to register for a course at the pre-licensed rate, email or call 510-809-0216 as this transaction online is not possible at this time.

Show business is an odd business where you show up for work and immediately shoot a sex scene. That's what happened to Kerry Washington and David Ramsey on their first day of work for "Mother and Child."
"It's strange because it's like, 'Nice to meet you,' and then you take your clothes off," Washington tells PopcornBiz. "That only other place you get that is college campuses."
Samuel L. Jackson said he was surprised that his own sex scene with Naomi Watts in the same movie was scheduled for the first day. But these two played strangers getting together for the first time, so any odd feelings were allowed to come across on screen.
As for Washington, she plays a wife trying desperately to conceive a child with Ramsey in the movie opening in theaters today, so there could be no awkwardness. She understands, "it's scheduling." But she could still dream about getting a little help.
"I was speaking at Princeton the other day and I was saying how weird it is to meet someone and then jump right into bed," she says. "And then I said, 'You guys just thought I should have just had a couple of beers first.'"

The Wabash College football team suffered its first loss of the 2012 season Saturday to Allegheny, 20-17. The Gators forced overtime and connected on a field goal on their first series. Ian McDougall barely missed a 38-yard field goal that would have tied the game on the following possession.
"We had opportunities in the red zone," Coach Erik Raeburn said. "We couldn't execute and had to settle for field goals which we missed."
It was Wabash's first home loss in 13 games and the first time Allegheny has beaten Wabash since 2004. Allegheny's last win over the Little Giants was also in overtime in a 2004 game.
The Wabash defense came in to the game ranked second in the nation in allowing 28.5 rushing yards per game. However, the Gators found success on the ground piling up 176 yards. Allegheny employed a running back by committee, led by Tyler Smith who had 81 yards on 13 carries and one touchdown.
"The defense struggled against their power running game," Raeburn said. "We couldn't stop the isolation run and played poorly."
The Gators achieved excellent offensive balance and kept the Wabash defense on its heels. Allegheny had 177 yards through the air to go with the 176 on the ground.
Allegheny held on to the ball too. It had over 30 minutes in time of possession and didn't turn the ball over against a Little Giant defense that had thrived on turnovers through the first two weeks. The Little Giant defense was also unable to sack the quarterback after having 11 after two games.
Offensively, Wabash struggled to find any consistency, despite having excellent starting field position for most of the game. The team was just 3 of 16 on third down conversions.
"We have to fix a lot of stuff," left tackle Weston Kitley said. "We were prepared, but we didn't show up on both sides of the ball."
One of the bright spots for Wabash was Tyler Holmes, making his first appearance of the year. The junior running back had 108 yards on 18 carries including a 27-yard touchdown run to put Wabash up 17-10 with 11:37 to go in the third quarter. Holmes made a quick up-field cut through a hole on the left side. He then ran through arm tackles and stiff-armed his way into the end zone. But Holmes' run was the last Wabash score on the day.
Allegheny jumped out to a 10-0 lead after the first quarter. Wabash responded in the second with a 44-yard field goal from McDougall and a three-yard touchdown run by quarterback Chase Belton. Belton had a sub-par day, completing 14 of 32 passes for 137 yards and no touchdowns.
With 8:46 left in regulation, Smith ran the ball on the Isolation play up the middle for 9 yards and a score to tie the game at 17-17. The drive was kept alive on a big third down catch and run by Allegheny receiver Derrick Emigh. The diminutive sophomore had a pesky 7 catches for 49 yards on the day.
Wabash had opportunities to win the game in regulation. Belton and company took possession of the ball with 4:30 left in the fourth quarter from their own 10. The offense moved the ball effectively including a jumping 15 yard catch by Andrew Gibson over the middle. The promising drive stalled at midfield and Wabash was left to take its chances in overtime.
The Little Giants won the overtime coin toss and elected to take the ball second. Allegheny turned to Smith on its only possession in overtime. He picked up a first down and helped set up Ryan Mong's 28-yard field goal.
The Wabash offense went three and out on the next possession which lead to the McDougall miss. The junior connected on a first half 44-yard score, but missed on three other opportunities.
Junior Nate Scola led all players with 17 tackles. Sophomore AJ Akinribade was not far off the pace with 13.
Wabash does not have much time to contemplate the loss. Carnegie Mellon comes in for Wabash's 100th homecoming weekend Saturday. Carnegie Mellon has won every game this season including a 37-7 victory at Allegheny. The Little Giants know they have their work cut out for them.
Game Notes
MacDougall's 44-yard field goal in the first half is his career long. His previous best came from 41 yards.
Wabash is 2-4 in overtime games. The Little Giants lost in two overtimes in 2009 at Illinois Wesleyan in the first round of the playoffs.
Wabash lost to Allegheny in overtime in 2004 in Crawfordsville by a final score of 16-10.
The home loss was the first for Wabash since a 10-7 defeat at the hands of Wittenberg in 2009. Today's loss ended a 14-game home winning streak.
