With a new election on its way, the term "contempt of parliament" is being bandied about a great deal lately. We are told that a government being brought down for contempt of parliament is a historic event. As usual, however, the Canadian media, despite its alleged societal function, is quick to refer, but slow to inform; no one seems willing to tell us exactly what it means despite the fact that it is central to the upcoming election. Here, then, is a public service announcement from your friends at Canada Goes to the Moon.
Although definitions of the term are hard to find, Wikipedia provides a useful starting point:
In many jurisdictions governed by a parliament, Contempt of Parliament is the crime of obstructing the parliament in the carrying out of its functions, or of hindering any Member of Parliament in the performance of his or her duties. Actions which can constitute a contempt of Parliament vary, but typically include such things as:
deliberately misleading a House of Parliament or a parliamentary committee;
refusing to testify before, or to produce documents to, a House or committee; and
attempting to influence a Member of Parliament, for example, by bribery or threats.
In the case of our Conservative government, contempt of parliament was earned by refusing to provide information on details and cost estimates of several proposed bills, most notably those regarding the expansion of prisons. There have been five instances in Canada's past in which individuals have been held in contempt of Parliament, but never has an entire cabinet been held in contempt, nor has a government collapsed on the ruling.
Note also that Wikipedia defines contempt of parliament as a crime. So far, the media has been regarding the affair mainly as an oppositional election maneuver, and barely a scandal, despite the fact that we are going to the polls. If our entire ruling party is in fact guilty of a crime, why is this not the scandal of the century? Wouldn't "Conservative Party Found Guilty" make a better headline than the dry template "Election Fever to Surround Budget"?
Opposition leaders are missing the boat as well. Why not call for punitive measures before voting them out and going to the polls? Do they not see that the Tories would be at a disadvantage campaigning from prison, or at least branded as criminals? If the Left is desperate enough for a Conservative scandal to keep Karlheinz Schreiber in Canada, they ought to take full advantage of one both real and relevant. Perhaps they have more confidence in our government than they let on.

During 'New Fast', Guider's penultimate track, a glance at your watch reveals you're only running at a somewhat premature 15 minutes. Just as you're scanning the sleeve for the caveat marked 'EP', the band suddenly unleash 'Revisiting'; a sixteen-minute grinding behemoth, let loose onto your ears and central nervous system. And all is well with the world again. Punching the clock at just over thirty minutes, Disappears' second record provides sterling evidence that short and sharp can sometimes be the best way forward. (Prog excepted; I think it's still technically illegal to release anything under an hour if you want to be considered a bona-fide prog outfit).
Hailing from Chicago, Disappears strike a mutually agreeable but ill-trusting accord between US and UK post-punk noise tapestries. The corner stones are obviously laid with a mutual love of The Velvet Underground, PiL , Spacemen 3 and Sonic Youth (indeed, Sonic Youth's drummer Steve Shelley has been recently augmenting their live line-up) but Disappears manage to interweave these influences through their layers so that they're more of a nod to, rather than a full embrace of them. There are echoes of Lydon in singer Brian Case's angry yap-and-rap delivery, and flirtations with Jah Wobble's elastic basslines. But the music answers back with a growl from the weird, fucked up garages of Alternative America. You can never quite throw your net over Disappears. They change their shape and form too swiftly to be effectively pinned down.
Opener 'Superstition' is a swift, gratifying blast of kinetic energy, a musical knee-trembler in the alleyway. Case's best Lydon impersonation is on full display on a study in understated threat that comprises 'Not Romantic'. It is here that the album's only major flaw becomes apparent. There is so much dirt and reverb swamping the record that it becomes difficult to appreciate its inner workings. At times, it feels like you are listening through a blackout curtain; you can appreciate the talent on display but somehow, you feel you are missing out on the full promise.
'Halo' however, is magnificent. Again, the bass takes the lead, carving a pulsing, insistent trajectory above clashing drum patterns while Case rants and raves over the top, the track unfurling as wonderful waves of distorted guitar wash over you. Brilliantly simple and wonderfully executed, it's arguably the album's defining moment. The following duo of 'Guider' and 'New Fast' are in a similar vein: heavily distorted and bass-driven explorations of noise-pop and post-punk with vocals seemingly bubbling up from the depths. They don't resound as powerfully as the album's earlier tracks but remain brief and beguiling enough to entertain, though the heavy distortion and reverb again takes a significant percentage of impact away from the songs. And then there is the aforementioned dance-inflected menace of 'Revisited': rising out of the smoke and slowly overwhelming you. If anything, you wish that they'd push further into the darkness and do something completely mental to make your jaw drop rather than simply open (the last five minutes don't really progress anywhere). Nevertheless, it's difficult not to be impressed with the scale of their ambition.
Guider is an intriguing, viscerally stirring study in contemporary post-punk that holds attention like a fox in a headlight beam. It is odd therefore, to say that the record's only major flaw is that in maintaining a lo-fi cloud of murk and mystery around the recordings, the true luminosity of their creation never shines through as gloriously as it otherwise might. Yes; I know that there's a certain DIY ethic involved in this genre (the press release proudly claims that they 'recorded over the same reels of tape that they used for their first album') and I'm not sure if Disappears would ever want to be a mainstream act but it's unquestionable that their music has the potential to reach out well beyond their current admirers. Their fanbase will probably vehemently disagree with me and that's fine, but a little spit and polish on the mixing console could bring this band to the ears of many people longing for a welcome and delightful punch to the musical solar plexus. They haven't quite managed to equal their heroes yet, but judging from the wilful ambition and focus shown here, it might not be too long before they begin to paint their masterpiece.

account that presents connected events
A Story or narrative is any account that presents connected events of fact or fiction in a meaningful manner. Along with exposition, argumentation, and description, narration, broadly defined, is one of four rhetorical modes of human discourse.
- See also:
- Reality is not always probable, or likely. But if you're writing a story, you have to make it as plausible as you can, because if not, the reader's imagination will reject it.
- Jorge Luis Borges, in a discussion published in the Columbia Forum and later quoted in Worldwide Laws of Life : 200 Eternal Spiritual Principles (1998) by John Templeton
- All true histories contain instruction; though, in some, the treasure may be hard to find, and when found, so trivial in quantity, that the dry, shrivelled kernel scarcely compensates for the trouble of cracking the nut.
- Anne Brontë, in Agnes Grey (1847), Ch. I: The Parsonage
- Don't let them tell us stories. Don't let them say of the man sentenced to death "He is going to pay his debt to society," but: "They are going to cut off his head." It looks like nothing. But it does make a little difference. And then there are people who prefer to look their fate in the eye.
- Albert Camus, in "Entre oui et non" in L'Envers et l'endroit (1937), translated as "Between Yes and No", in World Review magazine (March 1950), also quoted in The Artist and Political Vision (1982) by Benjamin R. Barber and Michael J. Gargas McGrath
- Isn't it queer: there are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before; like the larks in this country, that have been singing the same five notes over for thousands of years.
- Willa Cather, in O Pioneers! (1913), Part II, Ch. 4
- I was in a bad place before I started high school and you helped me. Even if you didn't know what I was talking about or know someone who has gone through it, you made me not feel alone. Because I know there are people who say all these things don't happen. And there are people who forget what it's like to be 16 when they turn 17. I know these will all be stories someday. And our pictures will become old photographs. We'll all become somebody's mom or dad. But right now these moments are not stories. This is happening, I am here and I am looking at her. And she is so beautiful. I can see it. This one moment when you know you're not a sad story. You are alive, and you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you're listening to that song and that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment I swear, we are infinite.
- Stephen Chbosky, in The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012), a film based on his 1999 novel of the same name.
- We tell ourselves stories in order to live.
- Joan Didion, in The White Album (1979), 'The White Album, 1'
- Why must a film explain everything? Why must every motivation be spelled out? Aren't many films fundamentally the same film, with only the specifics changed? Aren't many of them telling the same story? Seeking perfection, we see what our dreams and hopes might look like. We realize they come as a gift through no power of our own, and if we lose them, isn't that almost worse than never having had them in the first place?
There will be many who find To the Wonder elusive and too effervescent. They'll be dissatisfied by a film that would rather evoke than supply. I understand that, and I think Terrence Malick does, too. But here he has attempted to reach more deeply than that: to reach beneath the surface, and find the soul in need.
- Roger Ebert, in Review of To the Wonder (6 April 2013), this was the last movie review which Ebert filed before his death.
- Plot does not define story. Plot is the framework within which ideas are explored and personalities and relationships are unfolded. If all you want is plot, go and read a Tom Clancy novel.
- Warren Ellis, in Bad Signal
- Any story worth telling relates to real life in some meaningful way. Scifi allows you to tell meaningful stories without seeming too preachy — it adds a metaphorical layer between the story and the real world. Scifi is dismissed as ungrounded fluff, but it's actually the opposite.
- Literature is conscious mythology: as society develops, its mythical stories become structural principles of story-telling, its mythical concepts, sun-gods and the like, become habits of metaphoric thought. In a fully mature literary tradition the writer enters into a structure of traditional stories and images.
- Northrop Frye, in The Bush Garden (1971), 'Conclusion'
- Last year, initially The Scotsman newspaper — being Scottish and J. K. Rowling being Scottish — and because of the English tendency to try and tear down their idols, they kept trying to build stories which said J. K. Rowling ripped off Neil Gaiman. They kept getting in touch with me and I kept declining to play because I thought it was silly. And then The Daily Mirror in England ran an article about that mad woman who was trying to sue J. K. Rowling over having stolen muggles from her. And they finished off with a line saying [something like]: And Neil Gaiman has accused her of stealing.
Luckily I found this online and I found it the night it came out by pure coincidence and the reporter's e-mail address was at the bottom of the thing so I fired off an e-mail saying: This is not true, I never said this. You are making this up. I got an apologetic e-mail back, but by the time I'd gotten the apologetic e-mail back it was already in The Daily Mail the following morning and it was very obvious that The Daily Mail's research [had] consisted of reading The Daily Mirror. And you're going: journalists are so lazy.
- The best thing about writing fiction is that moment where the story catches fire and comes to life on the page, and suddenly it all makes sense and you know what it's about and why you're doing it and what these people are saying and doing, and you get to feel like both the creator and the audience. Everything is suddenly both obvious and surprising ("but of course that's why he was doing that, and that means that...") and it's magic and wonderful and strange.
- Neil Gaiman, in Neil Gaiman's Journal (15 October 2007)
- At the same time, though, studio heads and producers have been relatively quick to welcome back actors, directors, and writers who've been accused of harassment and assault, particularly when their status makes them seem irreplaceable. It's a dual-edged message: Don't abuse your power, but if you do, you'll still have a career. Part of the confusion comes down to the fact that these men are seen as invaluable because the stories they tell are still understood to have disproportionate worth. When the slate of new fall TV shows is filled with father-and-son buddy-cop stories and prison-break narratives and not one but two gentle, empathetic examinations of male grief, it's harder to imagine how women writers and directors might step up to occupy a sudden void. When television and film are fixated on helping audiences find sympathy for troubled, selfish, cruel, brilliant men, it's easier to believe that the troubled, brilliant men in real life also deserve empathy, forgiveness, and second chances. And so the tangible achievements one year into the #MeToo movement need to be considered hand in hand with the fact that the stories being told haven't changed much at all, and neither have the people telling them. A true reckoning with structural disparities in the entertainment industry will demand something else as well: acknowledging that women's voices and women's stories are not only worth believing, but also worth hearing. At every level.
- Sophie Gilbert, "The Men of #MeToo Go Back to Work", The Atlantic, (Oct 12, 2018).
- Only a man harrowing clods
In a slow silent walk
With an old horse that stumbles and nods
Half asleep as they stalk.
Only thin smoke without flame
From the heaps of couch-grass;
Yet this will go onward the same
Though Dynasties pass.
Yonder a maid and her wight
Come whispering by:
War's annals will cloud into night
Ere their story die.
- Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you.
- Ernest Hemingway, in Death in the Afternoon (1932), Ch. 11
- When I was writing Dune there was no room in my mind for concerns about the book's success or failure. I was concerned only with the writing. Six years of research had preceded the day I sat down to put the story together, and the interweaving of the many plot layers I had planned required a degree of concentration I had never before experienced.
It was to be a story exploring the myth of the Messiah.
It was to produce another view of a human-occupied planet as an energy machine.
It was to penetrate the interlocked workings of politics and economics.
It was to be an examination of absolute prediction and its pitfalls.
It was to have an awareness drug in it and tell what could happen through dependence on such a substance.
Potable water was to be an analog for oil and for water itself, a substance whose supply diminishes each day.
It was to be an ecological novel, then, with many overtones, as well as a story about people and their human concerns with human values, and I had to monitor each of these levels at every stage in the book.
There wasn't room in my head to think about much else.
- Frank Herbert, in Heretics of Dune (1984), Foreword (April 1984)
- I am always at a loss to know how much to believe of my own stories.
- Washington Irving, in Tales of a Traveler (1824), 'To the Reader'
- I don't think he needs to be immortal. I think all he needs to do is to write the right story. Because some stories do live forever.
- Stephen King, in The Dark Tower, Vol VI: Song of Susannah, words of Roland, about Stephen King
- What do you think stories are for? These stories are classics. There's a reason we all know them. They're a way for us to deal with our world. A world that doesn't always make sense.
- Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz in the Pilot episode of Once Upon a Time (23 October 2011)
- If you start getting scared of what story you're telling, it's going to show. You have to be kind of stupidly fearless, I think, to do this stuff, because otherwise you're going to try to please people. And that's not what we're in the business of doing. Which is weird, because we're in the video game business — we want to please people so that they're going to have an entertaining experience, but we're not trying to make people super-comfortable with everything. We want to challenge people, and we want to challenge ourselves, too.
- Ken Levine, "BioShock Infinite Creator Ken Levine Says He Doesn't Believe In Utopias (Including Peter Thiel's)" by Anthony Ha, Tech Crunch, Mar 27, 2013
- The stock market was created by the telegraph and the telephone, and its panics are engineered by carefully orchestrated stories in the press.
- Marshall McLuhan, in Counterblast (1969), p. 106
- Silly me; silly old Doctor. When you wake up, you'll have a mum and dad, and you won't even remember me. Well, you'll remember me a little... I'll be a story in your head. But that's OK. We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Cause it was, you know. It was the best. A daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away.
- Steven Moffat, in lines for the eleventh incarnation of the Doctor in The Big Bang episode of Doctor Who (26 June 2010)
- Don't be alone, Doctor. And do one more thing for me. There's a little girl waiting in a garden. She's going to wait a long while, so she's going to need a lot of hope. Go to her. Tell her a story. Tell her that if she's patient, the days are coming that she'll never forget. Tell her she'll go to sea and fight pirates. She'll fall in love with a man who'll wait two-thousand years to keep her safe. Tell her she'll give hope to the greatest painter who ever lived and save a whale in outer space. Tell her this is the story of Amelia Pond. And this is how it ends.
- Steven Moffat, in lines for Amy Pond, in The Angels Take Manhattan episode of Doctor Who (29 September 2012)
- All Nature's wildness tells the same story: the shocks and outbursts of earthquakes, volcanoes, geysers, roaring, thundering waves and floods, the silent uprush of sap in plants, storms of every sort, each and all, are the orderly, beauty-making love-beats of Nature's heart.
- John Muir, in "Three Adventures in the Yosemite", in The Century Magazine Vol. LXXXIII, No. 5 (March 1912) p. 661);
- I'm trying to avoid that thing where you get a story in your head that's very clean. I think there are too many people that come up with a very simple story where they're the hero, and they don't learn anything.
- Conan O'Brien, "Episode 163 – Conan O'Brien". WTF with Marc Maron; April 3, 2011.
- Do not tell people how to live their lives. Just tell them stories. And they will figure out how those stories apply to them.
- Randy Pausch, in The Last Lecture (2008)
- Narrating incredible things as though they were real—old system; narrating realities as though they were incredible—the new.
- Cesare Pavese, The business of living, 1943-11-11
- Navita de ventis, de tauris narrat arator,
Enumerat miles vulnera, pastor oves.
- The sailor tells stories of the winds, the ploughman of bulls;
the soldier counts his wounds, the shepherd his sheep.
- Sextus Propertius, in Elegies, Book II, no. i, lines 43-4
- The sailor tells stories of the winds, the ploughman of bulls;
- One of the ghosts — an old woman — beckoned, urging her to come close.
Then she spoke, and Mary heard her say:
"Tell them stories. They need the truth. You must tell them true stories, and everything will be well, just tell them stories."
That was all, and then she was gone. It was one of those moments when we suddenly recall a dream that we've unaccountably forgotten, and back in a flood comes all the emotion we felt in our sleep. It was the dream she'd tried to describe to Atal, the night picture; but as Mary tried to find it again, it dissolved and drifted apart, just as these presences did in the open air. The dream was gone.
All that was left was the sweetness of that feeling, and the injunction to tell them stories.
- Philip Pullman, in The Amber Spyglass (2000), Ch. 32 : Morning
- A sense of belonging, a sense of being part of a real and important story, a sense of being connected to other people, to people who are not here any more, to those who have gone before us. And a sense of being connected to the universe itself.
All those things were promised and summed up in the phrase, 'The Kingdom of Heaven'. But if the Kingdom is dead, we still need those things. We can't live without those things because it's too bleak, it's too bare and we don't need to. We can find a way of creating them for ourselves if we think in terms of a Republic of Heaven.
This is not a Kingdom but a Republic, in which we are all free and equal citizens, with — and this is the important thing — responsibilities. With the responsibility to make this place into a Republic of Heaven for everyone. Not to live in it in a state of perpetual self-indulgence, but to work hard to make this place as good as we possibly can.
- All these tattered old bits and pieces have a history and a meaning. A group of them together can seem like the traces left by an ionizing particle in a bubble chamber: they draw the line of a path taken by something too mysterious to see. That path is a story, of course. What scientists do when they look at the line of bubbles on the screen is work out the story of the particle that made them: what sort of particle it must have been, and what caused it to move in that way, and how long it was likely to continue.
Dr. Mary Malone would have been familiar with that sort of story in the course of her search for dark matter. But it might not have occurred to her, for example, when she sent a postcard to an old friend shortly after arriving in Oxford for the first time, that that card itself would trace part of a story that hadn't yet happened when she wrote it. Perhaps some particles move backward in time; perhaps the future affects the past in some way we don't understand; or perhaps the universe is simply more aware than we are. There are many things we haven't yet learned how to read.
The story in this book is partly about that very process.

This is as obvious as it is unclear how we do it. ...I imagine myself in those circumstances and ask myself what I can see.

- Whenever I direct a film, I always keep this in mind, never put too much explanation in the story, if I put in too much details in the story, there won't be much room for the viewers' imagination.

For over four decades, I have been intimately involved, in nearly every aspect of leadership, from identifying, qualifying, training, developing and consulting, to thousands of actual, as well as potential leaders, to serving, on several occasions, personally, as a leader, for various types of organizations. I have, come to realize, often, one of the difference between a true leader, and the many, pseudo - leaders, is real leaders, proceed, with an open - mind, consider all viable options and alternatives, and dedicate themselves, to excellent, focused, relevant, and sustainable planning, while the rest - of - the - pack, often, resort to blaming others, instead of taking personal responsibility. We are presently, experiencing a period, when many organizations are finding, many obstacles and challenges, both internal, as well as external, and, only, when one, is willing to be introspective and objective, and question, why should someone belong to the specific group! Does your organization provide a relevant, sustainable purpose, which inspires and motivates others, to, belong to something, perceived as worthwhile, and valuable? With that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly, review, consider, and discuss, some of the essential considerations.
1. Learn from the past, but don't get, stuck - in - the - mud: Great leaders learn, extensively, from the past, of the particular group. They seek to avoid making avoidable errors and mistakes, and strive to learn, in a meaningful way, from every experience, and observation. However, until/ unless, the individual, recognizes, the world evolves, and groups must adapt accordingly, and evolve their organization, it risks, being far less than relevant, meaningful, and sustainable.
2. Perceptions, and perceived value: How can anyone, become the best possible leader, unless he understands what existing members, seek and desire, and consider, valuable and meaningful? If you were not, already, involved, what might attract you, as opposed to losing your attention, etc? A quality leader must emphasize effective listening, and avoid the tendency to interrupt others, and/ or, to speak, instead of listening, We were born with two ears, and only one mouth, so wouldn't it make sense, if we dedicated, at least, twice as much time, and effort, listening, as speaking? This process requires discipline, and a willingness, and readiness, to proceed with the utmost degree of genuine empathy, by focusing on both, the actual needs, as well as perceptions, of their constituents and stakeholders. In addition, it's important, to take a look, at the bigger - picture, and proceed, with a well - developed, relevant strategy, and well - considered, action plan.
Why should anyone want to belong to your organization? How does it serve their actual, as well as perceived needs, and values? How will you articulate your message, clearly, and in an inspiring, motivating manner?

The New York City Parks Department is installing fences and fixing gates along dunes on a Staten Island beach, hoping to keep out ATV riders who have been destroying the barriers put in place after Sandy.
Crescent Beach resident Coleen Wood says she frequently hears the ATVs, believed to be operated by teenagers, running over the dunes outside her home.
"Constantly back and forth, back and forth, even at nighttime we hear them," she said.
U.S. & World
Sandy sent floodwaters 10 feet high outside and into Woods' home. The dunes and dune grasses were put in place for essential protection from future coastal storms, and Woods can't understand why others would want to endanger their community with a joyride.
"Right here is not a good time or a good place to do it," she said.
Another Crescent Beach resident, Mark Palazzolo, said, "Wise up, because it's their neighborhood that's gonna take a hit."
In addition to putting up fences around the dunes, parks enforcement officers will also be on patrol. ATV riders caught treading over the dunes could face a $2,000 fine.
"Have some respect for other people," said Woods. "We have to live here."

Friends of the Library
"Friends of the Dorothy Alling Memorial Library" is a group of volunteers who share their enthusiasm for books and reading and focus public attention on the library. They stimulate and support library services and facilities for the community, reward meritorious service to the library and support the First Amendment and the Freedom to Read Act as expressed in the American Library Association Bill of Rights. Their principal fundraising activity is the Annual 4th of July book sale and volunteers are always needed. FODAL's by-laws are located here.
On October 2006, the Friends of the Dorothy Alling Memorial Library had their first meeting after a hiatus of about seven years. There was a great turn out for our first meetings and we developed a core group of Friends who organized a terrific debut year of quarterly activities, fund raising (through the annual book sale) and other support for the Library.
Book Sale Helps More Than One Good Cause
Each year the Friends of the Dorothy Alling Memorial Library (Williston) put on a huge book sale during the 4th of July festivities. Book sales have been a traditional method of funding new library materials and services while making room on the shelves of libraries and homes. What is unusual in Williston is that more than just the Dorothy Alling Memorial Library benefits from its book sales. The Friends of DAML have also provided books and cash to literacy foundations and organizations across the world.
Book Bag Sales
Beautiful, natural and royal blue canvas book bags are available for sale at the library. They even have a special pocket in which to keep your library card. The cost is $10 each and sales benefit the Friends of the Library. They make wonderful gifts if you can bear to give them away!

Co-captain Ruane helped the Crimson to a second-place finish at the Harry Anderson Trophy opening weekend (photo courtesy Robert Migliaccio).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – On its first weekend of racing this autumn, the Harvard sailing teams turned in a trio of top-five performances in four regattas. The Crimson claimed its first victory of the season at the Harvard Invitational, took second at the 39th Harry Anderson Trophy and placed fifth at the Lark Invitational. The women finished seventh at the Toni Deutsch Trophy.
"I am very pleased with our first weekend of competition. The fact that we were in a tight battle with Yale on their home waters bodes very well for us," said head coach Michael O'Connor. "Michael Drumm, Jake Bradt and Isabel Ruane sailed a great regatta. Andrew Mollerus and Sydney Karnovsky also did a great job against some top flight competition. Our team has been working hard over the last few weeks and it showed this weekend."
Eighteen teams competed at the Harry Anderson Trophy, the first intersectional regatta of the fall, where the No. 16 Crimson coeds finished 34 points behind host No. 2 Yale for second-place. Saturday featured A division in FJ's and B division sailing 420's in nine races. Six more races were sailed on day 2 of competition with A division now in 420's and B division in FJ's.
In the B division, junior Michael Drumm skippered all 14 races as sophomore Jacob Bradt and senior Isabel Ruane split time at the crew position. The trio finished first in the division, recording 77 points, including two wins, three second-place and two third-place finishes.
The A division skipper, sophomore Andrew Mollerus, sailed with classmate Sydney Karnovsky. The pair's highlights from the weekend included a first-place finish during the sixth race. Harvard totaled 97 points in the A division, good for fourth place, and 169 points overall.
At the Lark Invitational, hosted by No. 10 Tufts, Harvard finished fifth in the eight-school field with 225 points. Junior Reid Bergund and freshman Cara Kennedy-Cuomo served as skipper and crew, respectively, on the A division boat that placed sixth. The duo finished strong, placing in the top-ten in nine of the last ten races. In the B division, senior Ames Lyman and junior Ansel Duff shared time at skipper with freshman Hajar El Fatihi at the crew position. The boat notched single-digit finishes on seven occasion, including first place in the seventh race. The Jumbos posted 143 points for the victory.
Twelve teams arrived in Cambridge for the Harvard Invitational Sunday morning. The Crimson's first victory of the season came at home. The A division pair of freshmen Matthew Mollerus and Emma Wheeler, sailed to a phenomenal score of 8, with four first-place finishes in six races, to put Harvard in a prime position to win the regatta. The B division team of rookies Bennett Capozzi and Julia Lord, who alternated positions, also posted a great score of 31 to help the Crimson beat second-place MIT by five points.
On the women's side, Harvard finished seventh out of 17 teams at the Toni Deutsch Trophy, which honors MIT's first female varsity letterwinner and pioneer in turning college sailing into a coed sport. Senior Caitlin Watson and sophomore Kristina Jakobson, skipper and crew respectively, sailed together for all 12 races and a sixth-place score in the A division. The duo had a win and three top-three finishes while sophomore skipper Sophie Bermudez and junior crew Ashleigh Inglis sailed to seventh place in the B division. With 150 points, Boston College took home the trophy.
"Our women showed much promise in their regatta as well," O'Connor said. "Caitlin Watson and Kristina Jakobson proved that they can win races against the best players in the conference. Sophie Bermudez and Ashleigh Inglis also had some flashes of brilliance over the course of the weekend. It was great to see our freshmen get a win at home. They made some classic rookie mistakes, but they did a good job of bouncing back each time."
Harvard will be back on the water Sept. 21-22 competing in five regattas. Among those are the Mrs. Hurst Bowl hosted by Dartmouth and Hatch Brown Trophy at MIT.

A. R. Roberts, Secretary THE ACADEMY OF ACCOUNTING HISTORIANS
The Committee on Accounting History report (Supp. to Vol. XLV, Accounting Review, 1970) expressed the opinion that "there has been a dearth of . . . necessary preliminary gathering of data, . . which would facilitate and encourage research and writing in the area of accounting history. Source data, for purposes of historical study, is normally perceived to be in the form of books or other formal publications. However, the gathering of data today should not be limited to these materials alone. Electronic devices enable today's historian to gather and preserve unique event data which should become historically significant.
As early as 1938, Allan Nevins, the late Columbia University his-torian, advocated and put into practice the concept of oral history. Oral history is generally considered to be a systematic interview with someone knowledgeable in the area under study. Much oral accounting history already exists in the form of recorded transcripts of minutes, meetings and interviews. Now, however, electronic tech-nology has permitted the expansion of this area of historical re-search by the use of visual recording through film, and video tape techniques. At least one major university maintains filmed inter-views with important accounting personalities as a resource for potential historical study.
The concept of electronic history is widely used in many fields. The Oral History Association, for example, found recently that over 200 projects were operating throughout the U.S. with more being planned. In the last year Columbia University has published a 500 page catalogue of their oral history collection.
Many significant studies and books have been published which have as their primary source of data oral history. Plain Speaking: An Oral Biography of Harry S. Truman, which was published this year, is an outstanding example. Still, professional historians are divided as to the value of "electronic" history. Some feel that it is a source of unique information and vivid expression. Others feel that such

Present [News]
Springhill est Mort, Vive l'Springhill!
Springhill Institute closed its doors in 2010. This site functions as an archive. Any further enquiries can be made at:
L'Atelier est Mort, Vive l'Atelier!
At The Event, 4-8 November 2009, Birmingham
With a performance by Nina Beier at Grand Union, VIVID, Eastside Projects, and Mona Casey Projects.
Newsprint Posterbook including works by Nina Beier, David Blandy, Ruth Buchanan, Ellie Harrison, Kelly Mark, Nicholas Matranga, and Richard Peel
A work of art may pass many stages; conception, experimentation, discussion, production, marketing, transit, presentation, documentation, reproduction, critical analysis, sale, storage, positioning within art history, repetition, rediscovery. Any single work may take all or only one of these positions, in any sequence over time, without defining one perspective from which it is properly seen.
First Person Singular by Nina Beier operates on a simple instruction to gallery attendants: When alone in the exhibition space to sing all the songs he/she can think of that employ the word 'I'. By activating the passive player in the exhibition, yet keeping the activity private, the exhibition, when empty of visitors, transgresses from being idle in the mind of the absent viewer. As with the paradox of Schrödinger's cat, the viewer outside of the space can imagine a visitorless exhibition simultaneously as idle and as filled with the singing of the gallery attendant, while all the time unable to know if indeed there are no visitors in the space. Beier's intervention, while starting with a simple instruction, creates a complex web of interconnecting questions as to where the work is produced, who the work is for, where it exists and where it is experienced.
L'Atelier est Mort, Vive l'Atelier! takes the proposition of the studio as the site of the artwork's original context. The studio can be taken here as a metaphor, an ephemeral or multi-dimensional place far more difficult to define than a room with canvases and coffee cups, and equally hard to define as the work that takes place within it. This proposition has been embodied in a newsprint poster-book in which seven artists were commissioned to create a poster in response to the question 'where is your work?', while forty artists were asked the question 'what is your studio?'
At 2pm on Sunday 8th Karin Kihlberg & Reuben Henry, initiators of Springhill Institute, will give a talk at Grand Union about the project, and about ideas and issues about the indeterminate location of experience.
L'Atelier est Mort, Vive l'Atelier! poster-book is available for free during The Event. Design by Nina Støttrup Larsen and Ziga Testen.

A Letter from the Program Director
Dear Urology Applicant:
Thank you for your interest in the urology residency training program at the University of California, Davis.
The urology residency is a four-year program that follows two years of general surgery. It is expected that the pre-urology surgical training be at the University of California, Davis. The four years of urology are divided among the UC Davis Health, Veterans Affairs Northern California Health Care System, local Kaiser Permanente Hospitals and the Shriner's Hospital for Children. A comprehensive education and surgical training is provided in all areas of pediatric and adult urology.
The UC Davis program offers specialty training in urologic oncology, neurourology and reconstruction, endourology/laparoscopy, pediatrics, robotic surgery, impotence and infertility. The opportunity to pursue both clinical and basic science research is offered and encouraged during your training with dedicated time provided for research during the fifth year. We take pride in providing a comprehensive education in urology in a collegial working environment.
Residents are accepted in the program two years in advance of the date upon which they begin urology, with matriculation dependent upon continued excellent performance in their preparatory surgical years. Please note that personal interviews are mandatory for all applicants. The urology faculty will review completed application packets, and qualified applicants will be invited for an interview. As our program participates in the American Urological Association Residency Matching Program (ID#13851), the interview process will be complete with three interview dates.
If you have further questions after reviewing this material, please feel free to contact our residency coordinator, Mireya Montelongo at 916-734-2893 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

This climate type is characterized by extremely variable temperature conditions, with annual means decreasing and annual ranges increasing poleward, and relatively little precipitation. This climate is typically located deep within the interiors of continents and is contiguous with the tropical desert climates of North and South America and of central Asia. This region type owes its origins to locations deep within continental interiors, far from the windward coasts and sources of moist, maritime air. Remoteness from sources of water vapor is enhanced in some regions by mountain barriers upwind.
The Köppen Climate Classification subtype for this climate is "Bsh". (Mid-Latitude Steppe and Desert Climate).
The average temperature for the year in Lobito is 75.0°F (23.9°C). The warmest month, on average, is March with an average temperature of 81.0°F (27.2°C). The coolest month on average is July, with an average temperature of 68.0°F (20°C).
The highest recorded temperature in Lobito is 96.0°F (35.6°C), which was recorded in April. The lowest recorded temperature in Lobito is 51.0°F (10.6°C), which was recorded in July.
The average amount of precipitation for the year in Lobito is 13.9" (353.1 mm). The month with the most precipitation on average is March with 4.7" (119.4 mm) of precipitation. The month with the least precipitation on average is June with an average of 0.0" (0 mm). In terms of liquid precipitation, there are an average of 28.6 days of rain, with the most rain occurring in March with 8.0 days of rain, and the least rain occurring in June with 0.0 days of rain.

Ts calibrate
From Openmoko
ts_calibrate is a graphical tool to calibrate the touch sensor. The app asks the user to tap a sequence of 5 cross-hairs with a stylus. It recalibrates the touchscreen, then exits.
As of August 2007, it is typically included in the Openmoko root filesystem, but does not appear in the graphical menus. You can run it from an ssh or GTKTerm2 command line.
It is a C program, ts_calibrate.c, and appears to be part of the xcalibrate package.
- I am not sure where the upstream sources of this come from. Could someone add that please? It appears to be also distributed by OpenEmbedded, Familiar and GPE. --Dcorking 18:37, 20 August 2007 (CEST)
Usage notes
You probably won't get good results with a finger or fingernail - so try to have a stylus handy.

I would like to know how to programmically expand a treepanel node. I have built a treepanel that lazy loads as it should but I need to be able to pick a model from a list that is part of the hierarchy and expand the treepanel to that node. Since, when the treepanel is first initialized just the root node is in the models list it doesn't allow me to expand to the model selected out of the list? If I first load the hierarchy of models for the model I want to expand using the treepanel.getStore().getLoader().loadChildren(model) the loader runs and loads the necessary models but they are not inserted into the treepanel.getStore().getModels() therefore I can't get treepanel.setExpanded(model) to expand them? I know that the loadChildren calls an Async load and I have placed a loadlistener on the loader and I don't try to run setExpanded until the loader has loaded the model I want to expand.

Going into the Giants game, Andy Reid and Marty Mornhinweg knew they had to change something. Through the first three games, Michael Vick had been inconsistent at best: holding on to the ball too long, taking big hits, making ill-advised passes, and turning the ball over 11 times. They had to simplify the game for Vick, give him quicker reads — especially against the Giants' fearsome pass rush.
And the coaches did exactly that. I went through and highlighted 5 plays from the All-22 coaches tape that showed the same concept over and over: a package of short routes in the middle of the field, slants and buttonhooks and crossing routes. In each play, I circled the Eagles receivers and marked Vick's target in yellow. As you will see, Vick always has 2 or 3 easy reads right in the middle.
Rather than waiting for longer routes to develop or even having to anticipate players getting open, all Vick had to do on these routes was take a three-step drop and look in the short middle of the field. He had an choice of simple targets, and could choose the one that was most open. Pitch and catch.

At every trade show, trends emerge about what kinds of products manufacturers are introducing. Scrapbook Update has identified the top ten trends in new products that showed up at CHA Winter 2010 in Anaheim, and we're going to take a closer look at them in a two-part series.
(These trends shouldn't be confused with design trends, which will be addressed in another article. This article just deals with what types of products are being introduced, not what style they are.)
So, in no particular order…here's the first five of the top ten product trends from CHA Winter 2010:
1. Banners
This trend is actually a product and a design trend. Banners were everywhere at CHA Winter. They were for sale as products, and handmade ones were used as booth displays to show off new products. But here, we're only concerned about the products. There were canvas banners, banner board books, banner stickers & paper, and banner stamps:
Clockwise from top left: Canvas Home Basics, Canvas Home Basics, October Afternoon, Maya Road, Webster's Pages, October Afternoon.
2. Decorative Tape
Tape has been around for awhile in a limited sense – I personally own a huge collection of the Heidi Swapp and Making Memories designs and love using them on pages and cards – but now tape is popping up everywhere. There was even a new exhibitor at CHA Winter called Love My Tapes that sells nothing but tape.
Tape is appealing for several reasons to both buyers and sellers. It can sell at an affordable price point for a large quantity. It also has use to a wide range of crafters, from scrapbookers, to cardmakers and beyond.
Clockwise from top left: Love My Tapes, Pink Paislee, Pink Paislee, 7 Gypsies, Tim Holtz idea-ology, Making Memories.
3. Felt
Felt has been around for awhile as well but it is becoming increasingly commonplace. The retro craze has made it especially popular. It's being used for a wide range of sticker-type embellishments, as well as by companies like Queen & Co. for ribbon-style borders.
Clockwise from top left: Prima, Making Memories, Dear Lizzy by American Crafts, BasicGrey, Kaisercraft, Queen & Co.
4. Artist Trading Cards
ATC's have been on the fringe of the paper crafts industry for awhile but lately they've been growing in importance as companies like 7 Gypsies have been releasing products aimed squarely at that activity, and stampers and scrapbookers look for more things to do with their supplies.
At the CHA Craft Supershow in Anaheim, one booth was doing brisk business in selling ATC card blanks from specialty papers by Strathmore. At the trade show, companies as diverse as Tim Holtz and Making Memories both introduced ATC supplies. Many stamp designs were being sold that were obviously influenced by the ATC aesthetic, which is infiltrating mainstream scrapbooking.
The bottom example here is of the most importance in illustrating this trend. It is of the Shabby Chic version of the new Tim Holtz idea-ology paper pads. It includes pages that are 12×12 as well as pages that are designed to be cut into smaller sizes. There's some 6×6, some tiny squares, and then some pages that are a combination of ATC's and borders. This is a big development in the market, selling a product that is designed assuming that most buyers are interested at least somewhat in ATC's as well as more traditional scrapbooking and card making.
5. Unmounted Rubber Stamps
The use of acrylic stamps has been exploding in the scrapbooking industry. There are several reasons for the growth of unmounted rubber: Concern about the design limitations of clear stamps, a desire to attract hardcore rubber enthusiasts as customers, or the need to compete with the price of clear stamps.

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- It has become known as the quintessential way to shake off the winter blues, but the Flurry Festival (formerly known as the Dance Flurry) has been attracting crowds for perhaps another reason -- nostalgia. "There's some real history with the types of dances done at the Flurry Festival," said Peter Davis, the event's director. "The dances are very traditional for the most part, and we have dancers from all over the world helping people rediscover what their traditions are. These dances became popular during a time when electronics didn't exist. People got together and danced as a part of life. It was a community bonding experience." Most of the events will take place at the Saratoga City Center at 522 Broadway and at the Saratoga Hilton Hotel at 534 Broadway. "There will also be a few events at the Saratoga Music Hall, The Parting Glass and Caffè Lena," Davis said. Tickets can be purchased at the City Center; passes are available for the whole weekend of for specific days. Half-day passes are also available for Saturday and Sunday. Davis has been the Flurry Festival's director for the past seven years, which means it's up to him to hire all the musicians and lay down the considerable tracks for the weekend's jam-packed schedule. "It's a big undertaking," he said. "But I do it because I love it." When the festival began 26 years ago, events were scattered throughout the city, but for the past five years, venues have consolidated to make it more convenient for those attending. "We have the same number of events now: 260 workshops with varying forms of traditional dance such as contra, Cajun, Irish, Scandinavian, folk, clog, zydeco, square and Sacred Circle." He added that it's a myth that the festival is for dancers only. "The weekend is about both participating in and watching dances," Davis said. "There's a big performance at the Saratoga Music Hall called 'Dance Around The World,' where performers and instructors showcase what they do. And there are workshops beyond just dancing. We have events like storytelling sessions, sing-alongs and jam-sessions with musicians, so it's a well-rounded weekend." But the dancing, as always, is the main attraction, and Davis said there will be plenty of it for participants to partake in. "The performances are fun to watch because it's dancing with regular people, not like 'Dancing With The Stars," he said. And new this year is a special focus on teen participants. The festival will offer a lower ticket price for teens and a line-up of more than 25 programs especially created for teen-agers. "It's an incredible music festival and a cabin fever release party," Davis said. "It's amazing to walk through the venues and see crowds of people dancing or jamming. It's just a great vibe to be a part of an event where people are there to have fun and play music." He added that for those who've never attended, this weekend is the perfect time to check out what everyone has been talking about. "For those who've never been to the Flurry Festival, you only live once," Davis said. "You might as well come and try it." Flurry Festival Weekend When: Feb. 15, 16 and 17 Where: Saratoga City Center, Saratoga Music Hall, The Parting Glass and Caffè Lena Tickets: From $95 full festival to $25 evenings;http://www.flurryfestival.org/

SYRACUSE Patrick Oneill was already facing multiple counts of animal cruelty when he allegedly left his Labrador retriever, Ali, in his car for more than four hours on Sept. 2 while he enjoyed the New York State Fair with his girlfriend. Ali, left in the 100-degree car with no water and one window barely cracked, died despite the efforts of state troopers and bystanders who tried to save her.
Animal advocates are saying she didn't have to die.
"This case is just one of many," said Shane Camp, who, along with Samantha Synowicki, has started a Facebook group calling for harsher penalties for those who abuse or neglect animals. "I'm a dog lover, and I really hate reading these stories of dogs being left in cars, dragged behind cars and/or abused in any way. In this case the fact that this guy knew he was going to the Fair and chose to bring his dog... this is inexcusable. The laws have to change to make people accountable for their actions, not just little slaps on the wrist and small fines."
Camp, of Canastota, is a registered nurse who volunteers with a local spay-and-neuter clinic as well as a local wolf rescue center. He and Synowicki, a veterinary technician from Mattydale, have been networking through Facebook to reach out to their friends to get them to sign petitions, write letters to state and local legislators and advocate for tougher laws to prevent such tragedies from taking place in the future.
In particular, Camp and Synowicki's group is advocating for an animal abuser registry, something state legislators have been discussing for some time.
"This statewide registry will prevent repeat animal abuse offenders throughout New York state. I urge New Yorkers to sign this petition and to contact their legislators to let them know the importance of protecting our furry little friends," said State Sen. Greg Ball (R,C,I-Patterson), who originally proposed the legislation in the state senate. "Those who commit crimes against animals represent some of the worst kind of people, and often expand their carnage to their neighbors and the larger community. Most people can agree that the level of respect and kindness shown for animals, creatures who cannot speak for themselves, or protect themselves and are easily abused and taken advantage of, is a fine predictor of how a person will treat their peers. Violent and cruel behavior towards animals cannot and should not be tolerated."

Recommended Irons
Recommended Woods
Taylor Made SLDR S Fw
- Low profile head design with shallow face promotes easy launch for outstanding playability.
- Speed Pocket design promotes fast ball speed for longer distance
- Low-forward CG promotes fast ball speed and low spin for optimal launch conditions
- Satin silver crown with black button-back promotes easy alignment
- Fujikura shaft designed specifically for a fairway wood to promote long distance with controlled accuracy.
SLDR S fairway woods and Rescue clubs offer a tremendous combination of distance and ease of launch, providing distance for all, regardless of clubhead speed.
The striking modern-classic shape, satin-silver crown and black "button-back" all adds up to a remarkably beautiful appearance at address that also makes clubface alignment easy.
The Speed Pocket allowed TaylorMade engineers to make the face shallower while still maintaining the same high speed as SLDR fairways and Rescues. The SLDR S 3-wood's face is shallower than the SLDR, lowering the CG in lower in relation to the center of the face to make it easier to launch the ball on a high angle. The benefit is a ball high, long-carrying flight that descends on a steep angle for quick, controlled landings.
SLDR S fairway woods are equipped with Fujikura's Speeder 65 shaft, designed specifically for a fairway wood. At 65 grams, the fairway shaft is 12 grams lighter than the original SLDR fairway shaft, allowing for increased clubhead speed for more distance. The shaft has also been shortened in the 5, 5HL, and 7 fairways to promote better consistency at impact. Five lofts: 3-wood – 15°, 3-wood HL – 17°, 5-wood – 19°, 5-wood HL – 21°, 7-wood – 23°.

Hood Canal Real Estate, Mortgage and the Economy - hoodcanalliving.com
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S home construction surged in April to its highest pace in six months. But almost all that increase came from the volatile apartment sector, a sign that Americans are still struggling financially to buy single-family homes.
The Commerce Department says builders started work on 1.07 million homes at a seasonally adjusted annual rate in April, up 13.2 percent from 947,000 in March. The gains were driven by a 42.9 percent jump in the construction of apartments and condominiums. The rate of building single-family homes rose just 0.8 percent.
Most of the gains in multi-family housing were concentrated in the Northeast and Midwest, regions that are bouncing back from the harsh winter.
Applications for building permits, a gauge of future activity, rose 8 percent to an annual rate of 1.08 million.

Jim Birmant of Paris-based Bliss and Mathias Schwerbrock of Film Base Berlin have boarded Indian-born director Prashant Nair's new project Umrika as co-producers.
Birmant produced French-Swedish comedy Sound Of Noise, which premiered in Cannes' Critics Week in 2010, while Film Base Berlin co-produced Farhan Akhtar's Don 2 in 2011.
A Hindi comedy set in a small Indian village, Umrika follows the story of two brothers. When the elder one abandons his native village for a bigger and better life in the US, leaving behind only a mysterious trail of letters, the younger one must follow in his footsteps to find out what truly happened to his brother.
"Umrika will Film Base Berlin's first German-French-Indian co-production," said Schwerbrock. "It is a strikingly strong and powerful story and I trust Prashant to make it into an extraordinarily moving and emotional picture with a universal appeal reaching out to a big international audience."
For full production credits visit
The film is expected to start shooting in India by May 2013. Its script was selected for the Mumbai Mantra Sundance Lab 2012 and the project was also a finalist for the Mahindra Sundance Global Filmmaking Award this year.
"Umrika is a heartwarming look at the mythology and lure of America and its impact on the lives of a village family," said Nair.
Nair won the Director's Vision award at the ninth Indian Film Festival of Stuttgart for his debut film Delhi In A Day. It was released in India by PVR Directors' Rare earlier this year.

President's "E" Award for U.S. Exporters
The President's "E" Award was created by Executive Order of the President on December 5, 1961, to afford suitable recognition to persons, firms, or organizations which contribute significantly in the effort to increase United States exports.
The President's "E Star" Award, which was authorized by the Secretary of Commerce on August 4, 1969, affords continuing recognition of noteworthy export promotion efforts.
History of the "E" Awards
During World War II, more than 4,000 "E Pennants" were presented to war plants in recognition of production excellence. The famous flag with the big "E" emblazoned on it became a badge of patriotism in action.
President Kennedy revived the World War II "E" symbol of excellence to honor and provide recognition to America's exporters. Thus, the "E" Award Program was established by Executive Order 10978 on December 5, 1961. The "E Star" was authorized in l969 to recognize "E" Award winners for continued efforts in export expansion.
Winners of the "E" and "E Star" Award are authorized to fly the blue and white banner, to display the accompanying certificate of commendation which is signed by the Secretary of Commerce in the name and by the authority of the President, to wear and issue to employees an "E" lapel pin, and to refer to the award in their advertising.
The application period for the 2017 President's "E" and "E Star" Awards is now closed. The application period for the 2018 Awards will open in November 2017.

Main Content
The Master of Arts degree in Women's Studies is based on a two-year cohort model in which students take a sequence of four required courses over four semesters in addition to their field experience requirement, their electives and their exit requirements. However, students who do not choose to take electives or other requirements while taking their cohort courses have up to six years to complete the degree program.
In consultation with an advisor, students select courses to complete a concentration
in a traditional discipline through a host department or an interdisciplinary specialization
relevant to their professional objectives. In addition, the advisor assists the student
in selecting appropriate Women's Studies electives. No student is permitted to take
more than four courses (12 credits) through a single host department. All students
are required to complete a field experience in Women's Studies, Women's Center administration,
Women's Studies directed research, or Women's Studies pedagogy.
All candidates for the Master of Arts in Women's Studies must satisfy the exit requirements of the program. Those students opting for the comprehensive examination take six additional credits of coursework electives while those opting for the thesis or special project take six credits of seminar work.
Students applying for the Master of Arts degree in Women's Studies must hold a bachelor's degree with an overall undergraduate quality point ratio of at least 2.5 (A = 4.0). Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. Students entering the program in the fall semester will begin the cohort courses at that time. Students in the spring semester will take electives and enter the cohort the following fall.
Students must apply to the Graduate School as well as to the Women's Studies Graduate Program. Official transcripts, two letters of recommendation, and a personal essay are required. Admission to the program is not official until all materials are forwarded to the Graduate School for evaluation and a formal letter of acceptance is sent by the graduate dean or the associate graduate dean to the applicant.
Please contact the Women's Studies office to request a Women's Studies Graduate Program admissions packet, which contains all of the information and forms required for admission.

FS#292 - Arbitrary containing object for isosurfaces
Opened by Simon (infoised) - Sunday, 12 May 2013, 16:07 GMT
Last edited by William F Pokorny (wfpokorny) - Thursday, 02 February 2017, 15:05 GMT
A low priority thought for the future: isosurface now only allows contained_by to be a sphere or a box. It would be more intuitive to allow the same objects that are allowed in clipped_by and bounded_by (although it probably needs to be finite). It would enable allow much faster rendering in many cases:
1) There are a lot of cases when the sphere or a box are very bad in bounding - if an object has a hole, a torus may be better, and in many cases, cylindrical bounding would help a lot.
The main modification is probably that the intersections of bounding objects can be split into more than one interval - but it's probably worth it, the isosurfaces are usually a speed bottleneck.
- Field changed: Status (Unconfirmed → Tracked on GitHub)
Now tracked on github as issue #228.

Dirk Nowitzki scored 28 points, Devin Harris had a season-high 14 for the second straight game and the Dallas Mavericks beat the Detroit Pistons 116-106 Sunday night.
Nowitzki was 10 of 16 from the field in his second straight game wearing a sleeve on his sore left knee after sitting out a loss in Toronto. It's not the knee that required surgery and sidelined him the first 27 games last season.
Harris scored five straight points in the final minute of the third quarter to break a 79-all tie. His 3-pointer early in the fourth capped a 15-2 run for a 94-81 Dallas lead.
Brandon Jennings had 26 points and seven assists to lead the Pistons, who lost their fourth straight. Josh Smith had 25 points and eight rebounds.

Pictured: Marcus Way
TUCSON, Ariz. – Seventh-ranked Arizona escaped a game Harvard team as the Wildcats held off Joe Walsh's Crimson by a score of 3-1 on Saturday afternoon at Hi Corbett Field.
Arizona (7-2) broke a scoreless tie in the fourth inning with a pair of unearned runs. Following a fielding error and with two outs, Riley Moore and Brandon Dixon delivered run-scoring doubles before tough-luck starter Joey Novak (0-1) got out of the inning.
With the score still 2-0 in the seventh, Marcus Way worked a leadoff walk on a full count and Andrew Ferreira singled through the left side. Stephen Dill was hit by a pitch to load the bases but Arizona starter Konner Wade worked out of a jam with a popup and a double play ball.
In the bottom of the inning, the Wildcats got another two-out run, this one against reliever Baron Davis as Robert Refsnyder had an infield single.
Harvard threatened again in the eighth as Carlton Bailey reached on an error and went to third on a bunt single from leadoff hitter Mike Martin, who promptly stole second. But Jack Colton grounded to third and Bailey was thrown out at home for the first out. Jeff Reynolds drew a four-pitch walk to load the bases with one out and Marcus Way drove home a run with a groundout to shortstop. Matthew Troupe was called out of the bullpen to face pinch hitter Robert Wineski with two outs and Troupe won the battle, striking out Harvard's junior on a 2-2 fastball.
In the ninth, Dill led off with a single but a strikeout and another double play ball ended the game.
Novak threw five innings, scattering six hits while Davis allowed a run in two innings and Zack Olson threw a scoreless inning.
Wade got the win for the Cats as he struck out 10 batters in 7.2 innings while Troupe had two strikeouts in his 1.1 innings of scoreless relief. Joey Rickard was 3-for-3 from the leadoff spot.
